about to blow that madara-tobi freak out of the water 🧨

📃🏙️📄

as is becoming a habit, more details under cut :)

take a look at this bustling city we can be proud to call our own! in the embrace of waters deep six hundred billion seeds i have sown (all ready to bloom. aren't they pretty?) now comes a time for you to reap (every piece is a piece of me)

the paper collage part was made from a single newspaper in a fit of inspiration

the vaguely heart-like shape in the middle was a pain to make natural while keeping the wings as i wanted them.

i wanted to include a faint rainbow, or rather several color-tinted arches of exploding tags in the reflection. it didn't want to work with the composition.

most of the papers in her wings aren't distorted by the water. wonder what that means

deep dark... deep dark... alluring light at the very bottom...

now to the poem:

amegakure is suspiciously modern. best place to live! except for the war and rain and heavy industry and vaguely threatening leader with a god complex.

if this was the closing verse of something longer, the opening verse would be this: we were made out of stainless steel where others were left out to corrode only the strongest welcome the rain over a pit stop on war road

kishimoto has no idea how numbers work. i usually play with the timeline & ages to get something that makes sense at the moment (even thinking about team minato ages hurts). however 600,000,000,000 is an insane number i'm keeping.

(can't find the original post that first mentioned this but i've already incorporated it into my konan lore:) konan has a plan to take down any member of the akatsuki. very batman-like of her. except every plan involves an incredible number of exploding tags. "konan is the only sane one in the akatsuki"? she is sitting in their meetings while silently making exploding tags somewhere else. every time she lays her eyes on hidan or deidara or madara-tobi she ups the rate of production. i'm scared of big numbers because they overflow on accident or you have to think about what special type to give them & when you mess up an algorithm complexity they want to compute way over the heat death of several universes... (amateur c programmer with math background spotted) (btw in c it's long long int, 64 bits)

konan & flowers! i mean it's literally part of her design so why not indulge when she has created a literal minefield (except the whole field is made of bombs)

madara-tobi goes boom! poor obito finds field imagery around him (hatake, nohara). seems to be a normal japanese thing, but psst, let me enjoy this. mr fan-the-flame is drowned in fire

every piece is a piece of her. first of all, literally. don't tell me she sat down (cloned of course) and did calligraphy on regular paper by hand, and/or ruined the whole economy just for this. talk about putting your heart into something... second, she uses paper butterflies for spying. as in, she turns into hundreds or thousands of pieces (ch371; jiraiya assumes he's arriving in ame suuuper stealthily), all of them presumably directed by one consciousness. solid clones have copies of the original mind, and shadow clones can return memories only when they dispell. i can't imagine all the butterflies with a mind of their own and konan casually integrating such a number when she reforms. if that is the case, she is truly on another level. sidenote: nagato's paths of pain share line of vision. he's literally operating 6+1 bodies at once. you know what? i bow to that. let him enjoy his godhood!

in conclusion: she had the audacity & the 600,000,000,000 plan almost worked! my top 3 female character in naruto

Somewhere outside of Amegakure in an alternate universe, where Akatsuki finally achieved its goals...

New official arts

Konan ~Ronin~

from Chinese game Naruto Mobile

[heavenlypaper]

I tried also this kind of illustration

What do you think about it ?

[heavenlypaper]

Since I saw pictures of her wearing the ronin outfit, I felt the need to portray her in this amazing version while she still captures the attention of many people with this beautiful outfit.

Break his crown, break his throne, rip his monarchy apart. //nagato/pain

I HEAR IT, I FEEL IT, I CANNOT ESCAPE IT. THE CRIES OF THE DYING. A WORLD SO BROKEN THAT ALL HAVE GIVEN UP. NONE WISH TO HEAL IT.

It was all right there, could she not hear it even now. For the sight of this land, was one of nothing other than glory. To all others, a wasteland, where no life grew, where there are no resources, no wealth, nothing to blunder, nothing to gain from taking it. The perfect place, to stage their wars, far away from wondering eyes, far away from anything that held any worth, but what of them. Where they not people, the same as all others, where they not, humans, the same as all others, who merely wished to carve an existence out for themselves, no matter what and yet, even something so small, simple, innocent was too much for them, that they had to burn this entire country down, murder the innocents, destroy everything around them, time and time again.

Yet for all the horror, all the nightmares, that bridge of peace that had been nothing more, than a hushed whisper between friends, on a cold night huddled around a fire, something so small and so impossible, was slowly taking shape, but they where no longer children, and this was no longer a mere dream, it was a vision, an idea, a plan, a world of peace, can be achieved, but not through the methods they had thought. There youthful nature and innocence, blinded them to the truth. The ninja world, never changed, it was cruel, with simple laws. Ninja did not talk, they did not form peace, they killed their enemies and forced those that remained, to bend to them and accept the victor terms.

THIS WAS THE NINJA WAY. SOMETHING THAT THEY HAD FORGOTTEN. TO TRY IT HIS WAY TO FIND A BETTER WAY TO GAIN PEACE. HAD COST THEM ALL, EVERYTHING. HE WOULD NEVER MAKE A MISTAKE AGAIN.

This village had been taken, Hanzo had died. He was a ninja was he not, he bent and twisted the rules and laws to please himself, while his own people, died in their thousands, believing him to be there saviour. He was no saviour, a monster who paid the price and all those who followed him, followed him to the darkness with him. No more of this, no more of any of this. No more kindness, no more mercy, no more holding back. He was done, limiting himself, denying himself, holding himself back, he had the power to change the world, he was going to change it. As he held out his hand, letting the rain fall into his palm, he could feel it all, sense it, every single person, the rain touched, he knew them, there grief, there sorrow, all that they were, this land had changed, but it would forever be the land of fallen tears, for all that they had lost.

“Keep your hand still.” As he kept, his other hand under her own, to guide it out into the rain, so that she could feel, what he felt. Sense what he sent, to let the rain, tell her about there home, there people and how. These falling tears, where not all sorrow, there where tears for those that had been lost, but also tears of joy, celebration and the one that caught his attention the most, hope. For that brighter tomorrow, for that world .. where none would ever hurt like they have hurt, a world free from pain, was a world worth fighting for.

“Just for the moment, it has changed. This land, is healing, because of us, but .. it is not enough.”
