#Hinata and sakura looking so gorgeous

Uzumaki family 🤝 Uchiha family

A family with amazing visuals.

[hardcore-lonewolf]

I love the Naruto World so much that I wish I was in it, I want to be a female Senju princess who's a god child to Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

I'll love to be the last child of Tsunade Senju and Jiraiya Ogata, be the Sixth Hokage after saving the Leaf with Naruto Uzumaki, and is the main romantic interest of Sasuke Uchiha, a former student of Orochimaru Yashagoro.

I want Naruto to have a sibling, so I chose Deidara cause Uchiha Clan heirs tend to be rivals with Uzumaki Clan members and I don't to replace Hanabi for somebody else, so Hinata got a big sister now...how about Yume for the name...yes.

My name should be Misako, have a big sister named Akira who's the main romantic interest of Itachi Uchiha, and is the Chosen One with elemental bending powers as the Light Avatar who must destroy the Dark Persona.

I shipped myself with Sasuke, NaruHina for life, NejiTen, ShikaTema, SaiIno, KibaTama, ShiShi, ChoKaru, LeeAma, KankuAka, SoraKae, GaaMatsu, AsuKure, KakaHana, JiraTsuna, MinaKushi, Orochimaru X OFC, Itachi X OC, MY AU!Deidara X OFC!Hinata's Big Sister, ToneShion, IruAya, SuiKari, Sakura X OMC, GaiKao, KoteAnko, KabuGure, HayaYuga, IzuShizu, YamaYuki, ObiRin, Rin and Obito will be still alive, my dad's not gonna die too, Asuma deserves to live for his daughter, Neji stays living, etc.

There's ten tailed beasts from zero to nine; Satori the Reibi, Shukaku the Ichibi, Matatabi the Nibi, Isobu the Sanbi, Son Goku the Yonbi, Kokuo the Gobi, Saiken the Rokubi, Chomei the Nanabi, Gyuki the Hachibi, and Kurama the Kyuubi.

I want Team 02 [Yoruha - Hikaru, Nayumi, Migaku & Sakura], 03 [Gai - Neji, Tenten, Lee & Kaede], 07 [Kakashi - Naruto, Misako, Sasuke & Hinata], 08 [Kurenai - Kiba, Tamaki, Shino & Shiho], and 10 [Asuma - Choji, Ino, Shikamaru & Akane].

Sakura need to be shipped with somebody else rather than Sasuke, she was falling for him and broke her friendship with Ino for his heart.

If I was her, I'll choose my friend over my crush and keep my bond.

Misako got three childhood friends; Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke...it's that clear and simple.

Misa doesn't like fan boys at all like Sasuke don't like fan girls, they're from enemy clans and are best friends who's secretly betrothed to each other as a way to form peace to both family trees.

Watching all episodes and movies, I've learned many shocking plots and twists throughout my childhood.

Itachi's an amazing big brother, I wish Naruto has a brother and I gave him one...named Deidara rather than Menma cause I see that alternative future son of our ramen lover if he was married to Sasuke.

I want Naruto to have his first kiss with Hinata, which leads to this scenario...what if Misako was between both him and Sasuke during the episode where they were finding out their teams.

Misako will kiss Sasuke...again, here's the catch, they shared their first kiss at a young age cause they liked each other and can see their futures as a badass power couple.

Itachi had already predicted that his little brother was in love with Misako...like he was with Akira, Akira will prevent Itachi's death and tell Sasuke the real truth herself with her baby sister by her side.

I've read a fanfiction on Wattpad that has an original female character portraying as Nezuko Kamado, her name was Misa, I loved it and saw the major changes they've done...it was glorious...shout-out to the author.

I know one way to make Sasuke feel overprotective to Misako like she's understanding with him, I've made three characters we know as original characters named Hikaru, Nayumi, and Migaku.

Hikaru will portray from Toneri or Seimei, Nayumi will depict from Shion or Sawaii, and Migaku...I got something for him...Yoichi or Ren.

Misako and Akira, two sisters with their father's white hair, their mother's brown eyes, their father's red markings, and their mother's beautiful looks and gorgeous figure...I got their character portrayals...Heinrich Prinz (Akira) & Eugen Prinz (Misako).

Indra & Asura was in love with the Kishimoto Sisters named...Luna & Kira...

Kira will be the light that guides Asura to the Sun and into the Spirit World for a bright star.

Luna will be the shadow that escorts Indra to the Moon and get him away from the Phantom Zone for a dark cloud.

The sacred ancestry continues to Madara Uchiha's lover and Hashirama Senju's wife...Mito Uzumaki & Himiko Hyuga.

Years have passed, I want Misa to become the Light Avatar since the Dark Persona was her complete polar opposite...they're destined lovers.

I honestly want Misa to have two sons and daughters; Daisuke (OMC: Haruto Uchiha), Mikoto (OFC: Amara Senju), Yuta (OMC: Isamu Senju), and Sayuri (OFC: Kiyomi Uchiha).

I'm giving Naruto another son and daughter; Menma (OMC: Soha Uzumaki) & China (OFC: Naruko Uzumaki).

If you're confused with the names of the following OCs I've planted, search for their names on Google to get some clarification...it took me a few tries and I've finished.

Comment down below, reblog, anything you wanna do...go for it.

Do not report me, this is just my ideas...something I wanna do for my fanfics in the future.

Sayonara guys...believe it!

Also...who will win between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso?

If nobody wins and unexpected twists happen, who will return?

What if Damian Priest changes his mind and cash in on Roman, if not...on whoever wins between Seth and Finn?

Who will beat Dominik's ass and strip him from his title?

Will Santos dethrone Theory?

Can Ricochet take down a jackass?

Will Gunther stay undisputed?

Who will be Rhea's opponent?

Who will walk out as Women's Undisputed Champion?

Will Iyo win or lose her chance?

Will Shotzi get revenge on Bayley?

Can LA Knight conquer the Battle Royal?

Will Shayna kick this transphobic bitch's ass out of wrestling for good?

Will Solo join his brother?

Will Cody end Lesnar?

All these questions and more will be confirmed tomorrow night at Detroit...watch Peacock now, get your tickets, and get ready cause it's ride or die this year on 2023.

Let this tribal combat...commence.

New Appreciation and Love: Ino Yamanaka

Ino Yamanaka was always a character that was really cool due to her ninjutsu ability with the mind transfer jutsu, but especially by Part 2 she became a pretty gorgeous and a real hottie. Nobody can deny how beautiful and sexy Ino Yamanaka is out of the rest of the Konoha girls.  In terms of characterization I did feel she was kind of underutilized from the middle portion of the timeskip, but in the War Arc she had a few highlighted moments that really stood out such as redirecting the Ten-Tails attack away from the battlefield. At the same time, also being able to channel all of her inner and connecting it to the Allied Shinobi Forces that was just so awesome. 

When it came to the series finale with the manga I definitely had my criticisms with how certain scenarios occurred, and felt there could have been more to make a truly satisfying conclusion. Fast forward to 2021-2022 when I decided to revisit the naruto series again and found a few new appreciation for things I didn’t really have before.  Last year, I came to realize that there was some level of fondness I have towards NaruHina. is it perfect? No of course not, but they’ve got moments that are nice for the most part.  This led me to reflect on other aspects of the series, and Ino Yamanaka is one of those aspects. < - no no no the “She’s so sexy  I could just bust right now!” lol! It’s actually far beyond a waifu fantasy notion many hold. I’ll be perfectly honest when I say it was a very simple aspect that really drew my attention about Ino Yamanaka after all these years.  

We are nearly a decade away removed since the Naruto manga and 6 years since Shippuden ended, and the one consistent topic people love to address are the same old pairing wars that’s been going on for years, or who is the better girl? Sakura Haruna?, or Hinata Hyuga? That is the conversation still going on to this very day in the Naruto fandom, and I’ve reached a point where I appreciate both Sakura & Hinata equally.  “Okay Lucky, where does Ino come into the picture?”  ->  This is exactly the point I’ve been building to and that is to me Ino Yamanaka is a really under appreciated character.

Only a small minority of the Naruto fandom these days showcase their support & love for Ino. Not to say that Ino isn’t exactly loved in the fanbase, but compared to Sakura and Hinata, I haven’t noticed a lot of love and appreciation for The Mind-Transfer Kunoichi. 

Finally,  Ino Yamanaka is great character because she’s very outspoken in speaking her mind about things that aren’t appealing to her,  but she’s also got an endearing personalty in showing kindess to her friends/family.  At the same time, She is very motivated in her drive when it pertains to the mission objective and running an amazing flower shop while being the head of the intelligence division. Unlike the other two Konoha girls, I really love that Ino was able to move on from her crush on Sasuke and really take things into perspective about the ninja world - > even if that part was breezed over in the main series. Yes, she is definitely quite the looker in being sexy, but the truth of the matter is Ino’s beauty simply compliments her character.  Was she underutilized during the run of the manga? Of course, but there is a lot more to her character beyond looks and people should recognize that about our beautiful flower girl ninja.  That is what makes her an underrated yet amazing kunoichi, Ino Yamanaka. 

A short tweet I made in support of Ino Yamanaka:  https://twitter.com/7LuckyChi/status/1660094283188248578?s=20

 That’s pretty much all I gotta for the time being but more support and love for Ino will be coming from yours truly, but until then I hope you all have an amazing day, night, etc. and remember show some love and appreciation for Ino Yamanaka!

Look I know this poll is over but I'm still SO SAD over Sasuke losing round one bc ppl think he's ugly as an adult.

He's GORGEOUS! His face doesn't even look all that different, I think people can just be mean about boruto designs but look! He's beautiful!

He's just also 33. I think we should accept that he's an attractive 33 year old and not expect him to look like the 16 year old he was in shippuden

This goes DOUBLE for all the women too. Sakura is beautiful, Hinata is beautiful, Ino? Adult INO?

Reject tradition accept boruto designs bc they're rly not that bad, they're just adults!

ROUND ONE

SASORI vs UCHIHA SASUKE

[darkkakyuu]

When Itachi lifts your veil he’s shocked by how beautiful you look and the sight quickly sobers him up, pulling the sunglasses from his collar to tuck them into his pockets so he looks more presentable but he’s positive no one is lookin at him any more.

“You look gorgeous, Kirei. And I really mean that.” Instead of his usual smirk, a sincere smile spreads across his face and for a very brief second it easy to forget that he’s actually a demon. But you quickly remember and the sour expression returns which makes him chuckle softly and shake his head.

Itachi does his best to be respectful, not intruding on your personal space and loosely holding your hand since he knows you don’t really want to be anywhere near him but he figured you two could at least look like a somewhat happy couple.

Thankfully neither of you have to say any vows, he’s sure you wouldn’t have many nice things to say about him and he figures all the mean things you want to say should be kept between the two of you.

“You may now kiss the bride.” Itachi can tell you’ve been dreading those words and even though you don’t mean to, thoughts of the last kiss you shared with Neji just this morning flood your mind. Not wanting to take that away from you, Itachi opts to kiss the back of your hand instead.

“I know that angel of yours kissed you, I’ll let you hold onto the memory for a little longer.” He whispers when you give him a look of confusion since you expected the demon to try kissing you directly on the lips.

"Stay out of my head." I whisper back to his, resisting the urge to scowl up at him since we were in the presence of both our families and they expected us to at least look the part of a happy couple. The back of my hand tingles from where his lips touched like it had a week ago when he first kissed it.

I could hear our parents muttering about how Itachi didn't kiss me properly, but chose to ignore it since I'll be able to preserve the feeling of Neji's lips on mine. I zone out when the priest clears his throat awkwardly, his eyes shifting between us and our families.

"I suppose that will suffice..." He begins.

I stop paying attention after that because the reality of this hits me hard. I was the wife of a demon and eventually I'd have to fulfill this prophecy with him. My heart clenches with dread because I also knew that me, Hinata, and Sakura would have to move down to the demon realm.

Snapping out of my thoughts when our parents come to congratulate us and I culd have sworn I see a look of disappointment in my mother's eyes like she was hoping that if Itachi had kissed me it would make me forget about Neji. I sigh. "It was his idea, Mother. Not mine."

"Well no matter the kiss, it's the mark that actually will bond them together." Fugaku replies, his arms crossing over his chest as he look pointed at Itachi.

"I'm sorry? The what?"

Naruto Wedding Outfits

For @astralcloudscientist because I love her. But also finding outfits for these post have become my bus commute tradition and wedding dresses are fun to look at.

I did it by canon couple, might do more couples both canon and not later and maybe what some of our single favorites might wear. Hi me up with any requests! Love getting some inspiration!

Naruto and Hinata

I just feel like the blue would make his eyes pop. I also like that it’s a lot softer than a black tux which would compliment Hinata’ dress really well! And I know it feels like a crime to not have Hinata in her original dress because she's STUNNING in it but for the sake of this post I put her in a big beautiful expensive looking princess dress!

Sakura and Sasuke

So I have this super elaborate head canon about their wedding which I might actualize into a full on post later but here's the short of it. I feel like it's a small informal/nontraditional wedding. They both make an effort to look good for the other but it's very much a ceremony for them. Sasuke is obviously all black but when I tell you I’m obsessed with Sakura’s dress 😍

Temari and Shikamaru

Temari is a black dress bride tell me I'm wrong. Also Shikamaru had a tie but Choji and Ino agreed it didn't suit him and pulled it off before the ceremony started.

Choji and Karui

I wish I knew more about Karui, she seems rad and is gorgeous! She seems like a real tomboy though which I love but for her wedding I bet Ino styled her and Ino wanted to give her a 180 make over (with Karui’s blessing ofc). Choji is absolutely floored when he sees her lol. And not only is Chojis signature color red but I bet he wants to match his wife’s hair :)

Ino and Sai

Bro Ino is fucking hot. The crop top is for Sai. Speaking of which, when I tell you I spent hours looking for a crop top suit.... Sadly Sai is ahead of his time. But he doesn't strike me as a traditional guy so I thought to honor his wife a floral suit would work :)

[actuallysaiyan]

Sasuke (as person a) x reader in the prompt Person A: You want me to fuck you? Hard or soft? Fast or slow? Tell me—I will do whatever you ask of me.

You can feel his hand on your waist as you sway to the music. The club is dark but the strobe lights are flashing, illuminating his gorgeous face. He’s smirking at you as you dance to the music, and you wiggle your hips and ass towards him.

Sasuke flinches slightly at your suggestive dance moves, but he continues to sway to the music with you. He’d be lying if he wasn’t already so aroused, but he needs to keep his cool. He wants to bring you home already and ravish you, but he promised you a night out.

“You look so good,” Sasuke says as he places a kiss on your neck. He’s grinding his crotch into your ass as you both dance to the music.

You spot Lee and Sakura dancing in the corner with Hinata and Tenten dancing together while Naruto is trying to outdrink Kiba. You want to so badly leave, but this was supposed to be a fun night out with your friends. You just want to go home with Sasuke and have some fun.

“Wanna get out of here?” You and Sasuke both ask each other at the same time. You both chuckle as he takes your hand and leads you towards the door.

“Where are you going?!” Sakura yells to you over the loud music. You just point towards the door and give her a wink. Instantly, she knows what’s going on.

“I think they are going to fuck,” You can hear Lee say to Sakura as he wraps his arms around her. She laughs and agrees, and you blush as you and Sasuke leave.

The night air is cool. You light up a cigarette and offer one to Sasuke, who takes one. You’re both a little silent as you walk over to your place, but Sasuke has his arm wrapped around your waist the whole time.

Once you both get inside your apartment, things become different in an instant. Sasuke is all over you, his lips crashing down on yours as he unbuttons your shirt.

“Bedroom, now.” You say and he nods. He leads you over to the bedroom and pushes you onto the bed.

“You’re gorgeous,” he says as he continues to undress you. He’s sucking on your neck and playing with your tits through your bra.

You moan as his hands adeptly unclasp your bra from behind you. Sasuke smirks as he throws your bra behind him, and he leans down to kiss your tits. You arch your back into his touch, and Sasuke can feel how excited you are for him.

His lips latch onto your left nipple as his fingers twist and pull on your right nipple. You are in complete heaven right now, moaning his name and panting softly.

“What a good girl,” He praises as he releases your nipple with a small pop. You whine as he pulls away from you to strip in front of you.

You can’t help but check him out. He’s absolutely gorgeous and so well toned. When you see his cock, your mouth waters at the appendage. He’s huge and you know you are going to have so much fun with him.

“Come here,” Sasuke beckons you, and you crawl over to him.

Immediately, you lick the tip of his cock. Sasuke groans as he holds onto your hair. You wrap your lips around the head and start to slide your mouth down. When his cock hits the back of your throat, he can feel something within him bubble up.

“Good little cockslut,” He says as you begin to deepthroat him. Sasuke is groaning as you suck him off expertly, earning you both praise and degradation.

When he pushes you off his cock, you’re a little confused. You wonder if you’ve disappointed him, but he just pushes you right back on the bed and takes off your skirt and panties.

Sasuke is between your thighs in an instant and his tongue licks a stripe from your entrance to your clit. You moan as his lips wrap around your clit and he sucks on it softly.

“You taste good, kitten.” You can feel a warmth bloom in your stomach when he calls you that.

His finger teases your leaking hole and he chuckles as he returns to lapping up your sweet juices. You can hardly watch him as the sight of him eating you out is almost enough to get you off. When he slides one of his fingers in your tight hole, you fist the sheets beneath you and let out a long moan.

“Good girl, kitten. Now tell me,” Sasuke mutters as he fingers you.

“You want me to fuck you? Hard or soft? Fast or slow? Tell me—I will do whatever you ask of me.” You can barely wrap your head around what he’s just asked you, but you manage to choke out an answer.

“Fuck me hard, Sasuke. Fuck me so hard and so fast, I need your cock so badly.” Sasuke chuckles at your pathetic and weak answer, but he loves how needy you are for his attention.

Sasuke pulls away from your dripping pussy and he wraps your legs around his waist. He uses his cockhead to tease your pussy, and you whine every time it catches on your clit. Sasuke is watching you attentively, his eyes dark with lust.

You gasp when he finally slides into you. His cock stretches you out and he barely gives you any time to adjust before he starts slamming himself in and out of you. You’re crying out loudly as he pounds himself into you, making sure to grip your hips and hit your sweet spot with every thrust.

“You take my cock so damn well, baby.” Sasuke groans as his cock pistons in and out of you.

“S-Sasuke!” You cry out as he reaches inside of you so much deeper. You’re gasping for air as he continues to fuck your wet cunt, and you don’t know how much longer you’ll be able to last.

“You wanted it hard and fast, didn’t you?” Sasuke asks as he pulls out. You whine at the loss of contact, but you’re surprised when he flips you over on your knees.

“It’ll be better this way,” he mutters as he places a kiss on your ass. Then right where he kissed you, he slaps you hard. You squeal in surprise before he slams himself into your waiting cunt.

You’re clenching around him so hard, Sasuke is trying his best not to cum right away. Your cunt is wet and warm and it’s just milking the soul out of him. He’s grunting as he grips your hips and slams into you over and over.

“So close, Sasuke…”You whine as you rub your clit. You can feel your legs starting to tremble as his cock hits your sweet spot.

“Good girl. Cum all over my hard cock,” Sasuke demands as he grabs onto your breasts and pumps himself into you hard.

With one final thrust, you can feel your walls contract and pulse and your vision cuts to white as you cry out his name. You can feel yourself gushing all over him and the bed.

“Fuck yes!” Sasuke grunts as he continues to pound your pussy. It doesn’t take him long to cum deep within you, throbbing and cursing as he paints your insides white.

When he pulls out of you, you’re both so out of breath. He kisses you softly on the lips and pulls you close to him. It feels nice to be in his arms right now.

“I’m glad we left the club,” Sasuke confessed.

“Me too,” You say as you snuggle into his chest. He rubs your back soothingly as you both relax in the silence and darkness.

[alwoobles]

I have 2 brain cells and both of them are focused on Rock Band AU in modern setting with Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara!!

Gaara with deep black ring make up around his eyes. Lead singer even though he’s a little guy (he has a lot of pent up rage and I think screaming lyrics to heavy metal could be good for him <3 )

Kankuro wearing all black with purple face paint. He’s already THE alt icon. I love him. He def has piercings. He is the drummer, because he is not given as much attention as his other siblings in canon so it could be kind of a parallel and also drummers are hot and I make the rules around here.

Temari!! My queen!!!! Temari definitely had a phase where she wore super exaggerated black and white makeup and she looked absolutely terrifying (and gorgeous) doing it. She is a guitar player!! I don’t know enough about guitars to say what kind but she is wonderful and I just know she could be amazing at it if she wanted to. She shreds like a pro. Because she’s the best. She also does backup vocals for the band.

Their father was their manager and then he got cancelled or smth or idk but Baki became their new manager because I said so. And the little monster sealed inside of Gaara in the anime? It is now his feral cat. Everyone hates it. Gaara included. It’s okay. The cat eventually learns to love Gaara. Their fans love the little hellion too.

As for ships I also have Thoughts about other bands in the Band AU!!!!!!!!!

InoShikaCho is something. I’m not sure. Ino is the lead vocalist. She has like pop music vibes but Choji and Shikamaru don’t so maybe they make just really Good generic music? Stuff that’s always on the radios. I don’t know. Shikamaru does not sing, thank you very much. He could rap if he wanted to though.

You already know that Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke could be super complicated as a band because they Did Not get along as genin. Whatever. They aren’t my problem. I’m ignoring them. But they’re really good and Gaara definitely had a crush on Naruto at some point.

Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee are an interesting trio to think about. Tenten raps for sure, because she’s pretty and I think she could be a badass rapper. Neji is the leader of their band and he writes their music too. Main vocalist vibes. Tenten also helps write music and can play like any instrument ever. Rock Lee is for sure tearing it up with swag dance moves. Gai, their manager, is definitely big on choreography. They’re more of a mainstream rap or hip hop group, but I think they have a background in other music genres.

Oh jeez. My personal favorite, Team 8!! Kiba’s everything.. Hinata with her shy demeanor.. Shino’s literal trench coat that covers him from head to toe. I don’t know. I love them all to death but they’re weird and forgettable to everyone but me it feels like. They’re alt, maybe an indie band? Or maybe not? I don’t know I think Shino plays guitar for them. Kiba is on drums maybe? Or maybe he is also on guitar. Maybe Shino plays drums? They’re hard. But imagine Kiba smugly going at with some killer vocals and making eye contact with an unimpressed Kankuro in the crowd. Battle of the bands babyyy. Hinata had a pretty voice but she is super shy about singing which leads to confidence issues because Hanabi has no problem singing in front of large crowds. So Hinata doesn’t sing but she eventually does after pursuing a solo career when their band naturally disbands because they have different paths in life they want to follow. Shino becomes a teacher lmao. Anyways I’ve decided Kiba with lead vocals. Everything else is not worth my time. What other teams are there again? It’s not like anyone cares enough to read this anyways. It’s mostly for me. Wait I think I got all of the rookie 12. Did I? OH MY GOD I ALMODT FORGOT AKAMARU I’m so sorry. Yeah Akamaru is Kiba’s dog and he goes on tour with them.

Nobody else is important to me. I mean I guess I could do some side characters.

The Sannin were a super popular band back in the day, with Jiraiya on lead vocals and the other two as backup vocals. Orochimaru was a master of guitar and any stringed instrument really. Tsunade SLAYED on drums. OH IDEA. Sakura plays drums and Sasuke is on guitar with Naruto on main vocals! But anyways the sannin have a major break up after Jiraiya decides to leave the band right after one of their biggest tours like ever, effectively cutting off the other two’s career in a band. Kaito Dan, a stage tech who is also Tsunade’s fiancé, dies in a car accident with Tsuande on the way to one of her gigs. She is too traumatized to ever sing or play on stage again. She runs off to get drunk and gamble. Orochimaru gets in good with Danzo before eventually getting cancelled (and being forced to take the blame for Danzo) when it is found he is mistreating the new talent in attempts to make a perfect singer to make them money or something I don’t know. He runs off and does small gigs but mostly pursues higher education and getting a ridiculous amount of degrees. He has the money so he just keeps getting them. I don’t know it’s funny to me. He takes on an apprentice named Kabuto and then another named Kimimaro. Is that how u spell that? Idk.

Uhmmm Minato was a really good singer but he and his fiancé died young, and while Minato had been briefly introduced to stardom it all ended when he and his fiancé died. Kushina died in labor and Minato literally died on the way home from the hospital. Super sad. Also Minato had been mentoring some kids, Kakashi and Rin and Obito. Uhm I choose for Obito to get an injury and like. Retire super early. Rin tries to make things work and then dies. I don’t know. Kakashi is traumatized but makes a successful life for himself. He becomes manager for Naruto and the other two. He also mentored Yamato and Yamato mentored Sai.

This is getting too long I’m so sorry.

[sasusakucore]

The uchiha family, uzumaki family and yamanaka family look so amazing. I really like how sarada is the biggest sasusaku shipper out there, sakura looking gorgeous and sasuke looking at his wife and daughter lovingly, boruto being a naruhina shipper, Naruto giving hinata a gift and hinata looking cute, himawari and kawaki's sibling bond, saiino flirting with each other and inojin having typical reaction of a kid who sees their parents flirting.

[captnjacksparrow]

Isn't it sad to see that fans that ship NH or SS always seem to define the ship keeping in mind only the female characters? I know you ship Naruto with Sasuke, with good reason, so do I. Because I want the best for both of them, I like both of them and try to understand both of their natures and motivations.

But NH and SS are only concerned with what Hinata and Sakura want. The way they talk about their ships have convinced me they dont give a shit about either Naruto or Sasuke. They just want them to be dogs on a leash for these women who clearly forced themselves upon the boys. That's just the way they were written. 🤷

I know some SNS fans do it too, only siding with either Naruto or Sasuke. I think that's wrong as well. But atleast in this fandom, there are a lot of shippers who do get their bond for real, who are able to understand their story as per the narrative.

With NH or SS, not even that. What do you think?

Another one of the Oldest Ask!!!! 

WHY SS AND NH DEFINE THE SHIP KEEPING ONLY FEMALE CHARACTERS?

‘TROPHY’ 🏆🏆🏆 BOYFRIEND :

Deeply insecure & shallow women thinks that she needs a popular man to become the center of Attention and she needs him because that makes her look and feel better. If she can attract such a Gorgeous or Talented man, which means her self-worth is more than anyone among her peers.

So, to achieve this Priceless Trophy... You must put in some effort and in the process you will suffer something... Won't you???

This is the narrative of those shippers which makes them feel a sense of achievement. A Victory.... Look how my kween and princess is suffering for her man.... She is crying, feeling so much, she is ready to die for him and she finally got the Prince she always loved... And they happily lived ever after...

I think it all boils down to those childhood stories like Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella type of shits🤧🤧 And most of these stories were always be told from the Girls' POV and the prince’ side would always be left unexplored or they were designed to fall in love with the Girl eventually....

In this case, Women thinks they are Underdogs and inferior to Men... Their line of thought be like... “If such a Great Guy accepted me, then I am better than other women...”... And these are the peeps who diss each other about who is better... like, “Atleast Sakura was stronger than Hinata...”,..... “Atleast Hinata was nicer than Sakura”.....SMH!!!!

That's why they don't care about Naruto and Sasuke's feelings. Because they don't have any reason to.... Since they already got a Million $$$ storyline of ‘Underdog who achieved everything”  from their Kween's POV...👸👸👸.... 

Bottomline: I Suffered.... And finally I achieved.

SELF-INFLATED EGO :

This is completely opposite to the 'Trophy' Boyfriend trope but cringe nonetheless. Here, You are the trophy and you feel like those boys owe you something because you suffered a lot for someone who doesn't deserve your pure love... 🤡🤡

In NH, their story goes like... “Hinata, the heiress to the powerful Hyuuga Clan fell in love with an Orphan boy who had nothing... She started to love him before everyone could recognize & acknowledge him as a decent person. She admired him... Despite having lots of potential, Hinata was willing to die for Naruto in front of Pain... Naruto must be so lucky to have Hinata by his side on many occasions... Otherwise he would’ve crumbled, a long time ago... He must be grateful for her to accept him despite marrying Naruto won’t bring her anything other than spoiling the Bloodline...”

Almost like a Pity Love that needs to be reciprocated...

In SS, their story goes like... “Sakura, despite not having a background of a powerful clan.... She wanted to become strong... She is very intelligent to the point of clearing up Chunin Exams’ Paper Test without copying... She cleared the Tree Climbing Training with flying colours by BEATING THOSE BOYS... All she did was to love Sasuke truly and unconditionally. It may be her mistake but she is loyal to a fault. She wanted to save him at all costs... She cried over him... Despite Sasuke went through the Darkness, she never gave up on him... Sasuke was suffering from the heavy loss of his Family and Sakura was the only one to give him everything he ever wanted... He must be so lucky to have her by his side...”

These are the clowns who spouts shits like, “Sakura deserved Better”.... “Hinata is Strong... She is not a damsel in distress, She deserved better...”, “Kishimoto screwed her up... despite having lots of potential”, “Sakura could beat Madara”.

In this case, they think that they saved their man from the Darkness even though she don’t have any obligation to... She went out of her way to help a lonely soul and helped him out all along the Journey.... To them, this kind of Narrative excites them because they are some self-centered Assholes who think that the entire world revolves around them.

Bottomline: I am better than everyone... I am putting my efforts on him... He better be grateful to me... 

or

I am a Woman.... I am willing to come behind you... What else do you need??

In both the cases, Women think that they are either Inferior or Superior to her Man. But there is something called Being Equal.... This shows that they are not even aware of the concept of being equal to her Man. That’s why it disgusts me, whenever these people talk about Misogyny and Feminism... 

If you feel inferior, you only think about yourself on how to obtain your Man... 

If you feel superior, You become self-centered and think that the world revolves around you and you have no time to think about your man.... 

Only when you think that you are equal to him, consider him just like a normal person.... you can turn sideward and try to understand him more and more... You would like to know why he is struggling and want to find ways to help him, instead of just crying for him.... 

Oh, by the way, this should also happen from the other side as well... 

Do you think, NH and SS peeps can able to put their minds into these Equality, Reciprocation, Self-Respect, Feminism and Stuffs????

No Fucking way....!!!!

At the end of the Day.... They feel the need to reap the benefits they had sown.... Simple. They don’t care about anything else... Because their own Kween’s story is in and of itself pretty ‘Heroic’ and why would they care about how the ‘Prize’ feels inside???

However when it comes to Male shippers who ships NH/SS, it all boils down to ‘My dear Best Loyal Dog....” Hinata and Sakura both serves their Ego and Fantasies... So, as an appreciation, they sing praises about their Girl as to, ’See!!! How my girl is so loyal to me...’, ‘How my girl was always thinking about me despite everything...’, ‘How my Girl’s life revolve around me like a Puppy..’... These kind of Self-Centered Assholes also exists and none of them ever talks about Reciprocation from N and S because they feel the Minimum Bread crumbs are enough for their woman to come behind them like a Dog.... Essentially they are called Dudebros....

However, When it comes to SNS fandom though... 

I know some SNS fans do it too, only siding with either Naruto or Sasuke. I think that's wrong as well. But atleast in this fandom, there are a lot of shippers who do get their bond for real, who are able to understand their story as per the narrative.

Totally Agree!!! Word for Word....

I agree SNS was all about being equal in EVERYTHING.... If One lacks in something, then the Other compensates it... This is their entire dynamics... 

And after all, Bond is something where 2 different people have a connection... It’s nature may be anything. Be it Friendly, Brotherly, Parental, Romantic... You name it. But when it comes to bonds... Isn’t it supposed to be, ‘I Like both of them, I understand why they do what they do and hence I Support this Bond’ Instead of, 'My favourite Character love this person... Plus compared to other viable options, this person is a lot better and hence I support this Bond'

But I see some SNS fans ships SNS, but like only one person while disliking or hating the other person... Am not saying they are wrong or they are not True SNS fans or something... It’s just that I can’t agree with them, at all. Because, I can’t simply ship my favourite character with the character I hate or dislike. And If I don’t like one of them, then what’s the point in writing/reading about their Bond????

Sasuke leaning SNS’ers feels like "Sasuke was always right.... He is so special, he never gives his time of his day to anyone, he won’t be Possessive, Obsessive and be expressive even around Naruto.... If only he didn’t give his time of his day to Naruto, N wouldn’t even exist.... Naruto some times don’t understand Sasuke and the way he shows his care was strangling to S... He kinda mildly harasses Sasuke.. He didn't care that much about S because he beat Sasuke into Submission and Sasuke loves Naruto so much so that he went with his plan in Chapter 699.”

Ooooffffff..... Man!!!! I can’t even understand this logic. They ship him with Naruto out of Pity and also because they have this ‘Overtly Self-Inflated Ego & Narcissistic Tendency’.... 

Their whole point is, ‘Look how Naruto was obsessive about Our Handsome Boy Sasuke... He always makes people go crazy about him’.... But when you go and Trash Talk about Naruto to them, they won’t defend him at all.... I’ve seen it multiple times and I felt extremely annoyed...

I literally saw an SNS post where that person interpreted, "We'll die together" as something Naruto warning Sasuke that, "I'll Kill You".... Their twisted Meaning is, If Naruto wants to bear the burden of his hatred, why is Naruto telling that they will die together instead of telling, "I'll bear the burden of your hatred and die for you"??? Why should Sasuke has to die too???.... 😑😑😑😑😑

It shows they totally hate Naruto and ships Sasuke with him because he is better than Sakura.

-

-

When it comes to Naruto leaning SNS'ers, "Naruto was always right... Sasuke was the one who never listen to him and put Naruto in a vulnerable situation... He is too toxic for N because he tries to kill him multiple times. Naruto is too good for Sasuke... S never cared about N".... 🥴🥴🥴🥴

I understand Sasuke is the Anti-Hero of this story and his actions are designed to be subjected to criticism, no matter what... But under the context of SNS, Sasuke’s actions are pretty self-explanatory. Yes, He threatened to kill Naruto multiple times but unlike with Sakura, Karin or Kakashi where he tried to kill them like pests... He always gives N, a warning and all Naruto has to do was to give up... Sasuke has every right to do what he wants and which path he should take on.... He is not obligated to travel in Naruto’s path all the time... [[I am clearly aware that Naruto’s path was the right one]]... If Naruto values Sasuke so much and he wants to stop Sasuke, then he has to undergo certain pain as well... S can oppose N and viceversa.... Inside a Bond, there will always be conflicts, difference in opinion, arguments and Pain.... Just because S oppose N... it doesn’t mean he is Toxic or Bad... 

I don’t know, Man!!! I can’t understand this POV either.... This is totally absurd.

If they hate Naruto & Sasuke that much, then why are they shipping Sasuke with him & Viceversa??? 

Well, Their classic answer would be... ‘I can ship my favourite character with whoever I want’... Well, I was like, ‘You can ship whoever you want with anyone. No Problem... But your biased opinions are NOT the true representation of this Bond because at the end of the day you are projecting yourself too much... It’s as simple as that”

But regardless of all these differing opinions... I must agree that Only this part of the fandom has the best understanding of their Bond and the Narrative as a whole. There would be varying interpretations... Yes... But there won’t be any laughable delusion or dishonest write-ups.

SasuSaku Month ‘22 Day 23

Day 22 | Day 24

Day 23 Prompt: Adamant

Fairy Tale AU

Happy birthday, Sasuke!

Sakura paused at the top of the stairs, taking a deep breath. It had been hell trying to get here, and the giant snake (not dragon, as she expected, but snake) had been an utter bitch to slay, but at last she had reached the highest room of the tallest tower of this ancient, decrepit castle.

Finally she was going to rescue Princess Hinata and bring her home to her worried father. After a month of searching, she'd finally be able to go home and enjoy the spring hanami with her parents.

With that thought in mind, she fished out the ornate silver key she'd gotten from a treasure chest in the snake's room and unlocked the door. Her heart beat rapidly in her chest as she slowly opened the door, creaking loudly from years of disuse. She cringed at the harsh sound, but straightened up and marched into the bedroom anyway.

The room was only illuminated by the barred glass window (slightly cracked open to let in some fresh air) beside the large four-poster bed, the soft-looking white silken curtains gently swaying with the light breeze. The nightstand had an older-looking oil lamp on it, along with a book and pencil.

She could see the faint silhouette of a person lying in the bed, apparently deeper in slumber than she'd first thought. Then again, the curse set upon her was supposed to break with a kiss.

"Do it for a friend, Sakura," she told herself as she strode across the lightly-furnished room and took hold of the edge of the curtain. "Do it for a friend... and for that fat stack of cash waiting for you back home."

With that, she pulled the curtain open -- and stepped back in surprise.

"You're not Hinata," she accused the sleeping man there. He didn't look to be any older than she, likely only sixteen if her eyes weren't betraying her.

Even though this wasn't Hinata, he was still gorgeous -- his face was pale and aristocratic-looking, with thin black brows and long, dark lashes kissing his cheeks. A regal nose and beautiful lips -- not too thin, not too full -- all framed with black, soft-looking bangs that fell towards his shoulders. He was wearing a navy high-collared tee-shirt and white shorts that stopped at his knees, his feet bare. His arms were folded across his chest.

Well... at least he looked like royalty of some sort. But if this wasn't the princess... then who was he?

Sakura blinked, turning and pulling the map from her pouch. She studied it for a moment before groaning. "Aw crap, did that old man give me the wrong location? This is the last time I fall for the old 'help a sweet little old grandpa pick up his herbs' trick."

Heaving a sigh, she refolded the map and stuck it back in. "So what do I do now?" She thought, reaching out to trace her fingertips along the man's cheek. "He's so beautiful... well, hopefully I can get some kind of reward for saving a prince instead."

Leaning in, her breath lingered along his mouth for a moment before she shyly pecked his lips.

She stood up straight immediately afterwards, blushing from the contact. His lips felt just as soft as she imagined... but was he going to wake up?

She stood there for a minute, and after not seeing any change she frowned.

"Does that not work for everyone?" She whispered to herself, leaning in to try again.

This time, she maintained contact for longer, clenching her eyes shut.

She didn't notice the arms slowly raising until they were clamped down across her back, and her eyes snapped open to meet the man's black irises as she screamed into his mouth.

Pulling away immediately, she squealed, "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

"You woke me up," he said blandly, raising an eyebrow as he sat up. "And if you're here, you must be rescuing me."

"The hell? Since when?!"

"Since you first kissed me, dumbass. How else am I going to wake up from a nap?"

"Okay wise guy," she snarled, poking his chest. "I only woke you up because I stormed the castle, slayed that freaky demon snake, and went through the trouble of finding the key to this room all because I thought I was going to be saving a princess, not-- not whoever you are!"

His eyes flickered with annoyance for a second. "Prince Sasuke," he corrected, "and now that you've rescued me, you'll have to take me home to meet my parents."

He paused then, looking her up and down. "The Byakugou, the mark of an apprentice of the Slug Princess. Mother would approve," he added quietly as an afterthought. "You're pretty enough. A bit flat. Eh, still an improvement from the other one."

Sakura let out a wordless screech of rage, tugging at her ponytail. "I came here looking for someone else! Hinata! Princess Hinata! If she's not here and you are, then where the hell is she?!"

"Don't ask me, I was probably put away long before she was." He snapped back, his eyes flashing red. "Now you said you slayed the snake guarding the castle?"

"Of course I did!" She shivered. "Freaky bastard came right for me. It was so creepy..."

"You singlehandedly defeated Manda," he breathed in wonder. "No other knight has ever managed that. Father will be pleased."

"I don't know who you are or why you're here, but I really need to get going." Sakura patted his shoulder awkwardly. "Sorry for, uh, not being the one you were waiting for, but I have my friend to save."

"Like I said, my name is Prince Sasuke of the Uchiha clan," he said, gesturing to the crest on the hanging scroll above the fireplace along the opposite wall. "And I was sealed away in this tower by my parents because of a curse the evil snake sannin Orochimaru placed upon me when I turned thirteen. I've long awaited the day that a strong warrior would rescue me and break my curse with my soulmate's kiss. Seriously, didn't you read the handout?"

"In my defense, I had no idea you were here." She sighed, pulling out the proposition from the Hyuuga clan head. "This is what I was given."

Sasuke scanned it over with his eyes before nodding in recognition. "Ah, the Moon-Eye Princess. I think I heard from Manda that her holding place is roughly a mile from here."

"Bullshit, really?" She gasped, her arms dropping to her sides. "All this time I was a mile off?!"

He shrugged, handing the paper back. "Well, there's still time to go rescue her, but you must return me home once my curse is lifted."

Sakura blinked. "And...?"

"Well, let's see if it worked." He rolled his eyes before tugging the high collar of his shirt away from his neck, peering down. Sakura, bewildered, leaned in to look too. All she saw was the bare skin of his shoulder and back.

"It worked," he mused in surprise before looking back up at her. "So you are the one."

"... So now what?" She asked, blushing when he cupped her cheek.

"Mm, I don't feel like hurrying away," he murmured, eyes flickering to her lips. "And I'd rather spend some time getting to know my rescuer. What's your name...?"

"Sakura," she swallowed, noticing him leaning in. "Haruno Sakura."

"A good name," he praised, eyelashes fluttering as his words ghosted across her face. "I think it'll sound better paired with mine."

[animangaandchillsblog]

[ Continuation of The One Who Had to Protect Him ]

Upon looking at Naruto's intoxicated and melancholic state, Hinata wrapped her hand around his waist and placed his right hand on his shoulder.

"Hinata... are you going to be okay?" Sakura asked, with a worried expression on her face.

"I'll be fine. Thank you for informing me as soon as possible." Hinata smiled, trying to hide the blizzard apprehension in her heart. Without realising it, she bit her lips, hardly.

"Hinata... you know... whatever happen between you and Naruto, I hope it went well..." Ino expressed her concern to Hinata.

"Ino!" Sakura elbowed her.

"Okay. We'll be fine. Thank you, Ino-chan. Sakura-chan. I appreciate both of your help so much.

With that, she slowly dawdle on the street, towards her home.

"Hi... Hinata..."

"Yes... Naruto-kun?"

"Don.. Don't leave me..."

"I'm not leaving you, Naruto-kun."

"Don't leave me... please don't leave me.. is it .. is it just my ima... imagination... that you.. love m..me..."

"No, Naruto-kun. I love you and I always will." Hinata answered, still questioning the reason why her husband got drunk. She knew to well that Naruto isn't a heavy drinker.

Unless... he knew about it. Something that she has been working on these past weeks.

Secretly. Without wanting to inform anything to him. She loves him too much. That's how much she wants to keep it a secret.

However... she told the Hokage not to expose her secret to anyone, including her husband.

It's impossible no matter how deep you look into it. Even if Naruto knew from the Hokage, he.... shouldn't act like this right?

Intense miserable feeling pierced right through her heart.

This is so wrong. Why do I have to act like everything is okay if Naruto-kun finds out about the situation that I have been dealing with? I'm worried if he'll think that I kept a huge secret from him, one that he actually deserved to know.

But it's just a little bit more, then I'll unearth everything to him. Just a bit more...

Even if he found out with his sage jutsu, what made him think that I am going to leave him forever. It's more confusing when he implied just now that I am going to leave him with another man.

Maybe it's a matter of speech when he's drunk but... Naruto is always honest when he's drunk. He used to blurt in front of our friends that he wanted 2 or more babies with me. I was so embarrassed at that time and when I asked him the next day, he admitted without shame.

I heard from Sakura-chan and Ino-chan that Naruto had a panic attack and he was calling out my name. What exactly happened?

When Hinata arrived at their apartment, she placed Naruto on their bed and took away his jacket. He's with a white shirt now and even with that state, Hinata couldn't stop eyeing her husband. Sometimes, she couldn't believe that the gorgeous man in front of her is her husband.

It was already night so she took a bath and slept. As she lied down the bed, Naruto hugged her from behind and stroke his cheeks against her neck.

"Hinata... don't go away... my heart is only for you and only you..." He murmured.

Or maybe... because of my past behaviours?

Hinata tried to get away from the firm embrace of her husband but she couldn't push it away. Naruto was still drunk but the way he embraced her is like something his sober self would do.

She stared into the empty wall, thinking about her past actions to Naruto.

What did I do? Did he drink because he found out the truth and somehow misunderstood that I would leave him?

Or maybe.... because of my recent behaviours? I'm such a terrible wife. Maybe Naruto-kun was upset. I admit... I didn't pay much attention to him lately. This issue had been weighing on my shoulder.

Hinata sighed. The more she tried to fit in the puzzles piece by piece, the more complicated it is.

An hour passed by and she was still overthinking but something lighted up her mind.

I have to settle this tonight. Even if it's midnight. I can talk to Naruto-kun tomorrow when he's sober. I don't want him to suffer like this. Whatever happened, it must be connected to the fact that she disappeared these past few weeks.

Carefully, she freed her body away from Naruto's warm and possessive hands. Then, she put on a skirt and shirt.

She locked the door and ran towards a place. Just... a place which only haunted bitter memories to her.

The Hyuuga's mansion. She's been going there frequently to settle something important for her family's future.

The jonins who were strictly guarding the mansion was surprised because she only went there on days to settle something.

"Call everyone here, including Hanabi, father and Hezi. Immediately, please. I want to settle this as soon as possible."

"O.. okay, Lady Hinata!" Both of the jonins responded.

Hinata walked towards the training hall and switched the light on. She sat on the seat where Hiashi is supposed to sit as the leader of the clan but this time, she needed to solve this matter.

10 minutes passed by and all of them were gathered in the hall.

"What is it, Hinata?" Hiashi asked.

"Father. Allow me to sit here in order to represent Neji's will. But before that..."

Suddenly, the door was opened with such a harsh force by someone.

It was none other than her husband, Uzumaki Naruto.

His hair was messy. His eyes were puffy after heavily shedding tear with the possibility that his wife will leave him soon. He was only with his white shirt on. It was obvious that he didn't even bother to change his clothes because he has been thinking about his wife all along.

He was hyperventilating. His right hand was clutching at his chest. Gritting his teeth, he was grimacing in pain, trying to calm his breath.

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata went towards her husband's side, slowly caressed her back and instructed one of the maids to bring a glass of water.

Naruto drank the water. Hinata continued to soothe his breath by caressing his back.

"It's okay, Naruto-kun. I'm here. I'm here..."

Naruto's eyes were fixed at a familiar man with a pair of brown eyes. He didn't look like a Hyuga at all. His hair is perfectly trimmed and it beautifully shaped his jawline.

"T.. that's him! Hi... Hinata! Answer me! I was so... so... worried because you were gone these past few weeks. It's like... something bothered you. This morning, I used my Sage jutsu to track you. I never use it because I trusted you but... but I saw both of you. He... he was encouraging you to leave me! You were... contemplating! Why... Hinata... why..." Just like that, Naruto cried again.

After listening to what Naruto saw which made him drunk, she blamed herself for dragging things too far and injected the overwhelming anguish in his heart.

For crying out loud... because of me, Naruto-kun suffered.

I need to settle this now.

Hinata took a deep breath and approached Hanabi.

"Hanabi, did you bring the picture?"

"Yes." She answered.

Hinata took the framed picture from Hanabi. It was a picture of Neji, receiving his jonin vest for the first time. He looked so proud of his achievements.

"This is Neji-niisan. This photo was taken when he received his jonin vest for the first time. He was supposed to receive a chuunin vest but due to his incredible capabilities, a jonin vest was presented to him as a sign that his skills were acknowledged. He's the clan's pride."

Hinata looked at Naruto with a loving gaze and soft smile.

"You changed him, Naruto-kun. You convinced him to fight at his destiny. Your words opened my father's eyes to look at this clan's harsh antiques slavery rule and consider changing the rules. The side branch clans and main branch clans managed to work hard together during the war. Neji saved us. He died as a brave hero, just like uncle Hizashi. However..."

Hinata looked at Hezi.

"What?" Naruto asked, waiting for answers.

"Hezi-san was a son of a Hyuga jonin here. Yes, he didn't look like a Hyuga because his father married someone who wasn't from this clan. Somehow, it created a controversy when he went here and claimed his rights as a Hyuga. As a Hyuga, you deserved to have a permanent job in the mansion or the village as a shinobi. Hezi-san's father was Karuki-san and he was from the side branch. He married a woman secretly out of everyone's knowledge. Hezi-san is his son. Karuki-san passed away in the war. Rest in piece, Karuki-san. With nowhere to go, Hezi-san went here to get a job but some of the Hyugas here felt unsatisfied because he never experienced being a slave to the main branch. I know things have settled back then but I realized that it's because each one of you have tasted the bloody experience of this system. Thus, I had to go here frequently just to discuss about this conflict but every time I tried to solve it, things just ran in circle again."

Hinata took a deep breath and look around.

"I don't have the rights to say this because I am from the main branch. I know, I am supposed to be the powerful one to lead this clan. I am supposed to be "grateful" because of this system. I know, I sound selfish if I say I suffered too because all of you had it worse. But, what I am fighting for is my children's future. I married to a man from the Uzumaki clan. Yes, he's the soon to be Hokage but it's all the more reason why I had to keep this a secret from him."

Hinata stared at Naruto as she talked about him. Naruto was speechless because he misunderstood her all along.

When Hezi said "leave him", he meant leaving Naruto-kun just so that I could lead the clan but I don't want that. I want to marry and give the best childhood to my future children because they deserve that. That's what I'm fighting for. I don't want all of you here to think that I'm lucky that I have an influential husband. That he could change things with only a flick of finger due to his past sacrifices and efforts when he becomes a Hokage soon. I don't want him to be involved in this issue because I heard some of you saying that he used to be a monster and ended up comparing your childhood again. I want to protect my husband and future children. I don't want you to see that only my children are given the privilege as a Hyuga. I don't want you to see that I'm lucky I can marry someone not from this clan without having to face a lot of traditional issues. I don't want that."

Hinata's sad eyes wander at the picture of her cousin.

"I want you to look forward and bring changes to this clan and the village. I want this clan to be given a prominent role in this village to strengthen the bond between each one of you. Rather than fighting and pointing fingers towards each other and feel unsatisfied, I want each one of you to work together. These words have to come from me because I've seen your struggles just like how I used to see Neji's dismayed state. Hanabi was too young back then and my father admitted that he was blinded with the fact that strength is important in Hyuga."

"Nee-san... wow... but what do you mean by given a prominent role?" Hanabi asked.

"I discussed this with Kakashi Sensei. The Hyuga will be in charge of monitoring the village. Since the Yamanaka clan is responsible for the telepathy and detecting chakra in the village, Hyuga clan will be useful for guarding the village with our eyes. Of course, there are turns but it also means that hard training is needed to maintain the use of Byakugan in a long time. We never knew what might happen to our village but with Byakugan, the enemy's location can be tracked easily from afar. We will have more preparation to attack and evacuate other villagers when the time comes."

Hinata stopped talking but she didn't expect everyone to be speechless.

"That was..."

"Great...."

Everyone clapped their hands.

There was a victorious smile plastered on her face. With slow paces, she went towards Naruto.

"Let's get out of here."

"Yeah." Naruto grinned.

"Nee-san! But what about the-"

Hinata cut her off. "You do it, Hanabi. I did my part here. Now, it's your job to rule this clan as the future heir. I know you've been wanting to rule and change some of their thoughts. Now's the time."

"Thank you for everything, Nee-san."

Hinata nodded. With that, she and her husband left the mansion.

"I am so sorry, Naruto-kun. It's my fault you're in this state." Hinata apologized.

"Hey, it's fine Hinata. What you did just now was brave and kind. But..."

"But?"

"Don't do that to me again, please? I know you will not do that again, but I just want you to promise."

"Okay, I promise." Hinata smiled, squeezing her husband's cheeks.

Just like during their first kiss, Naruto traced the delicate structure of his wife's cheekbone. He was bedazzled in that moment at how brave and kind his wife is.

They were quiet for a moment and then kissed because finally, everything is done. No more misunderstandings, just glowing daylight illustrating their love.

Tenten and Sakura went to the bar with their friend, pretending she needed help carrying drinks, only seeming to make the birthday girl even more uncomfortable.

“Evening, ladies,” one of the seemingly only female employees in the bar greeted them as soon as they reached her. “Can I help you find what you need this evening?”

“Here’s the story.”

Ino leant her elbow on the bar in the same way she did when she was about to talk about office gossip, as if it was heavy-hitting news that Ino needed everyone to take as seriously as she did. Her two friends shot each other amused looks, having seen this well-meaning, if not slightly misguided, determination.

“Our friend over there,” the group all turned to look at Hinata. Still nervously poking her straw into her nearly finished cocktail, ducking her red tomato face when another topless man escorting a giggling client out of the room passed their table, when the group all turned back, huddling in further, Ino continued, “just turned twenty-one and has all the sex appeal of a bunny rabbit. I think she needs one wild evening to pop her champagne, so to speak.”

Completely unphased, the employee nodded, entertained slightly by Ino’s precise wording but in no way surprised or put off. “That is what our men are here for. Do you know what she likes? We have several catalogues so that you can decide by character traits or physical qualities.”

Bringing out two large folders from just behind the bar, each as thick as a hardback dictionary, she set them in front of them, their weight making the metal of the bartop shake.

Flicking through the first few pages, showing the other girls that each page contained several photos of the entertainer and a short profile about what their character would entail, Ino shrugged, fixing the strap on her dress, “guess we’ll just look and see what sticks out!”

Sakura looked as if she could breathe fire. “You mean you don’t know? Coming here was your idea. I thought you had a plan!”

“How would I? She doesn’t show interest in anyone! That’s the problem!”

Tenten, the mediator, reached over and swatted her hand between the two to symbolically break up the argument. “Stop, you two; we can figure this out. It can’t be that hard to pick someone.”

Only a few pages later, Ino grinned, tapping her forefinger nail on a picture excitedly.

“Oooh, who is that?”

Her friends only looked over her shoulder for a second before looking at each other with confused raised eyebrows and sceptical half-smiles; Hinata had never shown an interest in painting.

“For Hinata? You think?”

“Who’s talking about Hinata? I’m talking about me,” Ino tapped on the picture again, speaking to the girl who worked in the club this time. “Him for me.”

Sakura groaned loud enough to be heard over the sudden pounding beat from the club’s speakers. “I thought we were here for Hinata.”

“We are! But are you telling me you expect me to look through this giant catalogue of gorgeous guys,” Ino stopped, flicking through the catalogue again, looking interested, “and not pick a little treat out for ourselves simultaneously?”

Before the next steamed words came out of her friend’s mouth, Ino spoke again.

“Sakura, two words,” she pushed the catalogue to be in front of her pointing to a profile with a victorious grin. “Muscles and worshipping. Your type.”

Ino didn’t even wait for her best friend to agree just told the employee to book the new profile for her; Sakura was too busy reading the profile with darkened cheeks to protest.

“Well, if we’re all doing it.”

Tenten attempted to turn her brochure around to show the worker who she wanted sneakily. Still, Ino was relentless, pulling the arm covering the laminated book away just in time to read the profile.

“I didn’t think you would be into the smarty nature type Tenten! I am learning so mu-!”

A quick punch to her friend’s shoulder and a warning glare quieted her but didn’t stop both of Tenten's friends silently giggling at her expense.

“Now, back to Hinata.”

“I’m thinking maybe a brunette,” Sakura suggested leaning against Ino’s shoulder as the other started scouring the options again, “with a little bit of a sarcastic streak and just the right amount of muscle.”

“But playful too,” Tenten added, Ino humming in her throat in agreement, “someone who would put her at ease.”

Ino and Tenten simultaneously pointed at different pictures and said with confidence, “them,” making them look at each other with wonder on their faces.

“I guess we should pick one? It doesn’t matter-”

Ino tapped on both pictures while telling the girl behind the bar to ring up all five of their options before practically throwing a credit card at her to pay for them.

“Ino you can’t be-?”

“Well, it is her birthday, after all!” the laugh she released was both victorious and scheming, “this is gonna be so fun!”

Pairings: Neji x Y/N

Song reference/inspiration: Gorgeous by Taylor Swift

Summary: You hate Neji… or do you?

A/N: I didn’t know what came over me please don’t sue 🤣 Please let me know your thoughts, although I couldn’t really reply since this isn’t my main blog... (I just really like reading your comments & reblogs 🥺)

You always thought the gods above adore you because of how lucky you are. For years of being a shinobi, you’re able to go on missions without that certain someone.

Everyone knows that you dislike Neji. Some might even go far and say you hate him. But no one really knew why you hated him with so much passion.

So when you’ve been assigned on a mission with him for the first time, your friends — with the exception of Hinata —immediately know you’d invite them for drinks to get piss drunk and rant about the Hyuga boy.

When you arrive at the bar, you wasted no time ordering drinks and downing them one by one.

“Woah, slow down Y/N!” Sakura says.

“Let her be, Sakura. You know how she gets when Neji is involved,” Ino tells Sakura, “No words are going to stop her, might as well just look over her.”

Sakura gives her a frown then slips in glasses of water in between the drinks you had lined up.

“Ugh, I hate this! Why do I even have to be assigned with him?” You complain.

Ino sighs, “It was bound to happen anyway, with the shortage of shinobis from the back-to-back attacks here in Konoha, and all that. You’ve been lucky you hadn’t been assigned on missions with him for this long.”

You huff. “The gods hate me so much.”

Ino just rolls her eyes at you.

“Why do you hate Neji so much anyway?” Sakura asks.

You take a shot before answering. “Have you heard how he talks? He’s always talking about destinies and fates and how we can’t change them!”

Sakura and Ino look at each other. Then Sakura says, “I don’t know what year you live in, but Neji has changed ever since he met Naruto.”

“—And besides that,” you continue your rant, “He’s such a know-it-all. And he just always has to explain everything to us like we don’t understand anything.”

“I mean he’s really good at analyzing things and breaking them down for us so we can follow the reasoning behind things,” Sakura says in defense of the poor man.

“Shikamaru is just the same but I don’t see you hating on him,” Ino adds.

You pay no mind to their statements, knowing they’re probably right but you weren’t just going to admit that. “—And he always sounds so bossy! Everyone looks up to him and heeds his words. It’s like he has this magnetic field that attracts people and shit. It’s so fucking annoying!”

Ino and Sakura were both about to say something about your statements but no words came out despite them opening their mouths. You squint at them, a contrast to the way their eyes had widened.

“What?” You ask.

“I think we should talk, you’re being a little too loud,” someone behind you says.

You bite the inside of your cheeks, knowing who that voice belongs to. You feel your face getting hot — from the embarrassment or from the alcohol, you weren’t sure. You clear your throat, look behind you and greet, “Neji.” You try to make your voice sound friendly, but you were so used to saying his name laced with venom that it’s just impossible for you to sound amicable.

He’s taken aback by the hostility in your voice. He’s aware of your hatred towards him so he tries not to bother you with his presence but you’re talking too loudly about him that it was becoming uncomfortable to him. Besides, you two are going to go on a mission together, it’s better to resolve things between the two of you right now, or at least before the mission starts.

Neji knows he hasn’t done anything to wrong you and as far as he’s concerned, both of you never talked to each other yet so he wasn’t really sure why you despised him so much, until now, that is.

He holds his hand out for you to help you stand. How gentlemanly, you wanted to sneer but you stopped yourself. Instead, you clench your fists and glare at him.

When you don’t make a move to stand up, he gently grabs a hold of your hand and tugs you towards the exit of the bar. You’re too shocked by the action that you didn’t get to protest. You know damn well Neji avoids physical contact with everyone, except during training, of course.

By the time you’re both out of the bar, you aim a punch at him. But with your drunkenness, you miss. That, and he easily dodged it.

“What are you doing?!” Neji asks, surprised by your action.

“You should think about the consequence of touching my hand.”

His brows furrow, trying to understand you. He doesn’t want to make things worse so he chooses to apologize instead.

You don’t respond, opting to lean back against the wall and cross your arms instead, considering your abrupt movement made your head feel dizzy. You tried not to wince at the pounding of your head. God forbid you’d let him see any weakness in you.

Then you take a look at Neji who seems to have shifted to a more relaxed stance after your unexpected attack. Seeing this, you try to collect yourself as well. Or at least as much as your drunk mind can.

Neji takes your silence as a signal to talk. “We’ve known each other for so long now because we have the same circle of friends, but we never really got to talk to each other until now,” he starts. “I have seen you interact with everyone except me. At first it did not really bother me, but then I found out you hated me. In order to avoid unnecessary arguments or whatsoever, I let you be and kept my distance. I did not understand why, until I heard you talking a while ago—”

There was something unnerving about his lavender eyes staring at you so intently that must’ve made your mind short circuit, so you cut him off and blurt out, “You should take that as a compliment.”

To say that Neji is confused is an understatement. The creases on his forehead deepen at your declaration. “What do you mean?”

You close your eyes and just shrug. Your mind wasn’t cooperating with you so you’d rather just not talk. You keep silent for a whole minute meanwhile Neji waits until you speak again. When the minute passes and he still hasn’t said a word, you ask, “Why don’t you just go back to Tenten or something?”

That sounded wrong.

Frankly, that wasn’t what you plan on saying, but your inebriated mind couldn’t comprehend what you just said and its possible implication.

If other people were to listen to your conversation right now, they would probably assume that you were jealous, or maybe even insecure with Tenten, but Neji was different from other people. Luckily for you, you both share a similar way of thinking. He knows you’re trying to deflect.

“Tenten’s your girlfriend, right?” You couldn’t stop your mouth from blabbering anymore.

“No. She’s a friend.”

This was news to you. You always assumed they were together since they spend a huge amount of time with each other.

“So you’re single?”

“Yes.”

“Ugh, that’s honestly worse,” you thought. Or at least you intended it to be just a thought but you ended up saying it out loud.

Neji doesn’t know if he should be offended by your statement or not. Was it worse because no one’s going to keep him in line? Shouldn’t you be glad no one’s going to suffer the fate of being his girlfriend? Those were definitely something you’d say. But he’s uncertain, so he pushed those thoughts aside, knowing full well you weren’t going to answer him properly if he asked the meaning behind your words.

Since you’re so keen on changing the subject regarding your hatred for him when he’s obviously trying hard to make amends with you, he decides to just drop it and talk to you when you’re completely sober. “Is Kiba going to come get you?”

“Why should he?” It was your turn to furrow your brows.

“You’re drunk and he’s your boyfriend.”

You snort. If he said you were seeing Kiba then you definitely wouldn’t deny it and you’d shut your mouth. You aren’t in a relationship with him, or maybe you are, if friends-with-benefits is considered a relationship. So Kiba is in no way your boyfriend — that label entails commitment and of course, love. However, your setup with Kiba was more of an agreement rather than a commitment and instead of romantic love, there was only love for a friend.

To correct him you say, “He’s not really my boyfriend.”

Neji was never one to assume unless there’s a basis. He knows this about himself. So when you deny your relationship with Kiba, he was skeptical, and a smaller part of him was ashamed that he reached such a conclusion without asking first.

It only goes to show that you both have wrong preconceptions about each other, and that you both have a lot to learn about one another.

“Ah, sorry. I thought—”

“It’s fine,” you wave him off.

Neji’s eye twitches. You cut him off twice now and he doesn’t appreciate it at all. He’s a very patient man and it takes a lot to get a rise out of him or maybe even get a reaction. But you had him shift from being apologetic to confused to ashamed and then to being annoyed in a matter of minutes.

Surely this wasn’t normal, right? What kind of power do you hold that you could make him easily shift moods? For a moment, he considers the possibility of you casting a genjutsu on him but quickly dismisses the thought when he senses that your chakra flow is normal.

You quickly notice his annoyance and you immediately feel bad for your actions. “‘M sorry,” you mumble with a pout, looking down on your feet.

The apology softens the Hyuga boy immediately. He’s never really heard you address him so sincerely and without malice all throughout this conversation, or ever. But he’s seen you do this with your other friends; he’s seen you readily set aside your pride for them. Your friends admittedly claimed that this was one of your traits that makes you so special whenever they tried coaxing him to talk to you and befriend you.

Unexpectedly, Neji smiles. It was truly a rare sight, and it was directed to you. You feel your heart flutter.

“I-I should, uhm, head home,” you internally cringe at the way you stuttered the words.

“What about Ino and Sakura?”

“Ah, I’m pretty sure they’ve gone ahead when I left.”

“And Kiba won’t pick you up?”

“Nope. He’s somewhere doing god knows what.”

Neji gives a contemplative stare.

“Anyway, I think you already know that we won’t be able to talk properly since I’m drunk, so I’ll go now. Let’s talk some other time, I guess. Bye!” You say a little too fast.

“Wait! Let me walk you home.”

You huff. “Do whatever you want.”

Silence follows after that. You’re particularly happy that the walk to your home is quick since you aren’t sure how to act around Neji.

He walks you until the door and you quickly mumble a thanks and shut the door.

As soon as the door is shut, you immediately slump to the floor, dropping your facade along the way.

The fact of the matter is that you don’t hate Neji. It’s quite the opposite actually. You just don’t know how to express your feelings properly.

For a moment you wish you could be like Hinata who’s content at watching Naruto from the sidelines. You, however, instead of feeling content, you’re furious. Because there’s nothing you hate more than what you can’t have. And this is what your face chooses to express whenever Neji is around, which is why you couldn’t blame your friends or other people for that matter when they assumed you hated him. You just went along with them, to save face.

The white lie was furthered by their observation that you don’t talk to him. To your defense, it’s not that you don’t want to talk to him, it’s just that you can’t. Your mind literally goes haywire.

Just like in your conversation earlier. When you first cut him off, and blurted out the first thing on your mind.

You should take that as a compliment.

What your mind wanted to say is: You should take that as a compliment because even when I’m drunk, it’s you I keep on thinking about.

Not to mention how embarrassing it was when you asked if he’s single and thought that that was so much worse than being in a relationship. Because how can he be allowed to be single when he’s just so gorgeous it actually hurts?

You bang your head against the door a couple of times in frustration.

Unbeknownst to you, Neji is still standing on the other side of the door, dumbfounded by how fast you shut it in front of his face. Just as he’s about to walk away, he hears a whack on the door. His mind immediately assumes you got hurt. As he raises his hand to knock on your door, he stills at the sound of your voice.

“Stupid Neji and his stupidly gorgeous face, ruining my life by not being mine.”

“I got my driver's license last week Just like we always talked about”

I let out a sigh of relief as the arms around me squeezed tighter as I recalled my day. I was nervous when Lord Sixth had called me to his office. I almost vomited when I stepped and was surrounded by a sea of Jōnin. Then my legs were jelly when he called me forward. The silver headed mans gaze felt like a laser. He paused for a moment before he spoke. “Congratulations (Y/N), you’ve been promoted to a Jōnin!” Giving me his signature closed eyed smile and wave, he giggled at my expression. My jaw was on the floor, a Jōnin. wow. I hear an applause as I turn to see the other Jōnin clapping for me, Lord Sixth stood to offer me my official Jōnin vest. I reach my hands out, bowing my head as I accept the new position.

So, there I was outside with three pairs of arms wrapped around me, squealing. “S-sakura, Hinata, Ino! If you squeeze any tighter I won’t make it on my first mission as a Jōnin. Laughing, they both loosened their grip and let breath. “Sorry (Y/N), We’re just so excited for you!” Ino exclaims. Nodding her head in agreement and clasping her hands together Sakura speaks excitedly to me “Yes! It’s all you spoke about. You worked so hard, I mean you and Shikamaru spent so much time training and going on missions for this!”

Shikamaru.. Everyone got silent as Sakura realized what she said. “I-I.. (Y/N) this is your moment, I didn’t mean to mention him, It ju-” I held my hand up smiling softly “It’s okay Sakura, I know you meant no harm.” I reach out grabbing her hand as she returns my smile. Hinata suddenly rests her hand on my shoulder, grabbing my attention as she spoke in her soft voice, “Celebratory ice cream?” she suggested. I smiled widely “Oh absolutely! Wow, Naruto is lucky I like him, ‘cause if I didn’t I’d steal you for myself!” Launching myself at her we lock arms and lead a giggling Ino and Sakura to our favorite Ice cream shop.

“'Cause you were so excited for me To finally drive up to your house”

I got my regular cone and sat at the cute table with my friends. Sakura might have brought him up, but believe me- he was already in my head. Ino was telling a story and from the looks on Hinata and Sakura’s faces, it was a good one, but I was long gone from reality now. Should I go tell him about my promotion to Jōnin? I think back to what Sakura said... He spent so much time helping me to be the shinobi I am today. Countless nights of working, training, and helping me on missions so they would be successful. I promised him he would be the first one to know about the promotion... but he was the advisor for the Hokage, he would know already, right? Did he know before I did? My head was getting foggy. I felt my ice cream dripping onto my hand, snapping out my day dream and jumping back into conversation with my friends.

“But today I drove through the suburbs Crying 'cause you weren't around”

Hugging and waving each other goodbye outside the shop Ino spoke up, “(Y/N), are you sure you don’t want one of us to walk you home like the usual?” I shook my head as I pointed to my vest. “I’m a Jōnin now! I can handle it! Next time though.” I confidently replied. Giving everyone one last squeeze, we wave as we all turn off in our separate ways. Usually I would love to have a walking partner, but I was too busy thinking of one in particular. I sigh to myself, how pathetic could I be?

I walked by my regular route, opting to take the longer way home. I wanted to clear my head, but I couldn't. The memories wouldn’t stop coming to my mind and they were hitting me hard. All of my firsts flashing in my head, all of them were with him. The worst part was that I wouldn’t trade them all for the entire world. Sighing and kicking a rock down the street I looked up at the sky and noticed it was getting darker. I should probably get home soon. Wrapping my arms around myself I slowly came to a stop on the side of the street as I tried to stop myself from sobbing. Thanking god that the streets seemed to be empty tonight. I started to walk, staggering to the side. Grabbing the nearby fence for support I violently rubbed at my eyes trying to stop my tears and ease my breathing.

Hearing a noise behind me, I quickly jumped up to a rooftop. I didn’t want to risk anyone seeing me like this. I was never like this! I felt like my world was crumbling, but how could it be? I had just gotten something I worked my ass off for, the recognization I deserved, I got to share the moment with three of the best friends in the entire fucking world and yet here I was. Crying my eyes out on a rooftop, ways from home because he wasn’t around to share it with me.

I took a seat on the roof and took a deep breath, my memories flooding me as I internally begged myself to stop. I remember the first time he kissed me. It was after he taught me to play Shogi.. and then proceeded completely blindside me and whoop my ass in it the same night. I should’ve seen it coming from the lazy genius. I was pouting the entire night until he suddenly kissed me and told me I looked too cute pouting about something so troublesome. My cheeks get warm as I think about our first time... but then my mind goes to why he’s not here celebrating with me today.

“And you're probably with that blonde girl, Who always made me doubt. She's so much older than me, She's everything I'm insecure about”

I remember the day she came to our village, at least the first day I saw her. He had known her before, they met in the Chūnin exams. I knew at least that much. I was a year below him, I didn’t know him then, but I could tell from the first glance he gave her at the gate. I knew there was more to their story than that. Their gazes lingered far too long on each other for my liking.

I was jealous when she was chosen to go on a mission with him. She was drop dead gorgeous with her sandy blonde hair and shimmering teal eyes, while I was just plain old me. Not to mention she came from a line of Kazekage, along with being a strong Kunoichi and strategist herself. They were more alike in ways I couldn’t compete with, hell I just became a Jōnin today. She had her back to us as Shikamaru kissed me goodbye at the gate that day, looking down at me, smiling and promising to be safe. I returned his stare stroking his cheek one more time. As I watched them walk off together, I knew I was just counting the days left with him.

“Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs 'Cause how could I ever love someone else?”

I was freezing now sitting on that roof, It was fully dark outside now. Wiping my eyes, I thought to myself. “Am I crying for him or myself?” I just felt so withdrawn. I gave him everything, what else was there possibly left of me to ever give someone else? It was all Shikamaru’s, I felt sick to my stomach as my wrapped my arms around myself and jumped down off the rooftop, proceeding to walk towards my home. Maybe taking the long way was a mistake, I seemed to be making a lot of those recently.

“And I know we weren't perfect, But I've never felt this way for no one And I just can't imagine, How you could be so okay now that I'm gone”

By all means we had our differences, but that’s what made us great. He liked to cloud gaze and I liked to take walks. We compromised by taking a walk and then laying down and watching the clouds when were tired. He liked to play Shogi, so I learned even though he beat me every time. He was reserved and I could be as hyper as Naruto somedays. He would say I was a troublesome woman, but that life would be a drag without me. But what is he doing now, huh? is life such drag without me now? When he was the one who left me in the dust? This is just as embarrassing as it is heartbreaking. I bet he was having the time of his life with his lucky lady.

“Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me.”

I thought back to when he told me he saw a life with me, how much he proclaimed to be in love with me, how he fights his best to come home from every mission for me and laughed. I just laughed to myself. How naive of me, I was just a holding place for Temari. Scoffing and speeding my pace up a bit I look up to see the moon shining brightly that night. Making my way further down the street as a horrid smell hit my nose. Cigarettes..

Then I remembered why I always took the shortcut home. Why I always avoided this route. This was his street. I don’t know what compelled me to go this way. Maybe my mind was subconsciously calling out for him. I was frozen in my spot, arms wrapped around my myself staring back at him. He looked at me, the moon lighting the way, his eyes lingering on the Jōnin vest I was wearing. Flicking the cigarette down on the ground and stepping on it he opens his mouth and calls out to me.

“(Y/N)? What are you doing out here alone?”

But I just turned my back and kept walking. 

“Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street...“
