Is there a skill you wish you could spend more time on?

Maa, maa...getting more than four hours of sleep would be a nice attribute to have.

The great thing about being a Shinobi...all the sights the continent has to offer on the way to the best sight of them all, the familiar gates of Konohagakure....

Comikey Adds the Shinobi Life Manga

Comikey has added all 13 volumes of Shoko Conami’s Shinobi Life manga to its service. The manga is described as: Energetic and strong-willed, Beni doesn’t care if she lives or dies as long as her death will result in embarrassing her arrogant father. But one day, she suddenly encounters Kagetora, a ninja who’s fallen from the sky and swears complete loyalty to her — as her bodyguard. Kagetora has…

Gonna bundle these two questions! (ALSO SPICY AT THE BOTTOM)

Sakura had one 'relationship' and that was/is with Aren Uzumaki.

Some backstory:

On their way back from Chiyo's, Saeko, Enji and Sakura were unable to port back in Tea Country- as the civil war came into full effect, and an embargo was placed on all the major ports in an attempt to cripple trade/starve out the big trading cities/ take control of the capital (which was on the coast).

For a few weeks, Sakura and Co. were prisoners on an enemy ship that captured the previous Daimyo's niece, Unami (now heir apparent, given that the rest of her family was murdered).

On their way towards the capital (for a nice public execution), they were boarded by famed Pirate Captain/Smuggler Aren Uzumaki of The Last Sparrow- who took them aboard along with the rest of the spoils.

As the enemy closed all the ports, Sakura realized they would never make it to land for the foreseeable future and offered her services as a healer for the duration of the war in exchange for Saeko, Enji's, and Unami's safety.

Furthermore, Enji helped Unami cut a deal with Aren, in which he was promised legitimacy and exclusive trading contracts with the South under her future rule. Thus, the Last Sparrow became the Command Center for the Civil War for the next eight months.

During that time, Sakura healed, fought, and hassled Aren into teaching her basic strategy, war, and bureaucracy - something the Captain (and Unami) realized she had a good head for. (Sakura would later serve as Unami's consul after the war).

As for Aren, he is extremely intelligent, shrewd, and a powerful fuinjutsu specialist. He's a respected captain and only chose the pirate/smuggler life after the decimation of the Uzumaki clan. When Konoha didn't come to their aid in time during the third war, Aren swore never to be beholden to a shinobi village and took to the seas, denouncing shinobi-hood.

Sakura approached Aren and asked to spend the night with him on the eve of the last battle, and had an on-again, off-again relationship after the war. Aren's first love was the sea, and Sakura never wanted to be second (or third) place in anyone's life ever again, so while they aren't in any official relationship, they do find themselves in each other's arms when they cross paths. (fun fact, Aren calls Sakura 'Wildflower')

When Kankuro was poisoned, The Last Sparrow (legal now!!!) had fortuitously docked at one of Fire Country's port cities. So they could take that to Suna and cut a week off their travel time.

Kakashi was surprised to see that Aren and Sakura knew each other.

He was very unpleasantly surprised to see HOW well they knew each other. He spent a full week seething- as he watched some sleazy Icha-icha knock-off pirate Lothario take advantage of Sakura.

Once again, thank you so much for the lovely words and all the support for this AU!

SPICY UNDER CUT.

sos month 2024 day 4: if only you knew "What you said earlier — that you despise this life, wishing you weren't here... Is that true?" "If only you knew."

Thinking you have to choose between your years long planned and prepared defection and your last minute friend who kind of means everything to you now but wouldn't just up and leave with you has got to suck.

NARUTO Shinobi days: Coming home to a surprise guest (?) Part 6

(Mini Comic: ⚠️ 4 parts *a little long scroll*)

"It does get to me..."

Sasuke never got to drink his water in the end.

.

.

<I am currently re-reading Naruto and I just love Sasuke's inner thoughts about Naruto. It is always profound and deep. I immediately got struck with inspiration, and I thought it is best to deliver it through a little comic. Planning it was the tough one, it ain't easy at all (kudos to all comic artists out there), and I ain't no writer so I had to discuss with my brother on certain things.

It end up kinda long (?) But I hope it turned out at least decent! And also, at the end of the manga when Sasuke cries, that could've been the perfect time to kiss him (but well they can't even move lol). AND ALSO, I just want to draw them cuddling. So, this is just indulging myself..

(also...hopefully people will notice the line "it does get to me" is a ref from something 👀)

Thank you for reading! 🙇

Edit: please ignore the left arm manifestation bec I am an idiot>

I personally find the idea Love Breathing and Insect Breathing to be really cool. I have a hard time articulating my thoughts as to why, but I'll try my best.

So not only do I think it works well for Mitsuri and Shinobu's characters, but I love how personalized they are (like pretty much most of the breathing styles in the series) Shinobu created Insect Breathing to make up for her lack of physical strength. She made use of her knowledge in medicine for poisons. Mitsuri on the other hand, created Love Breathing because she couldn't master Flame Breathing (I assume it's because her constitution is too unique for it) so Love Breathing is better suited for reinforcing her strength.

Especially because the Demon Slaying corps is a field that I assume, is male dominated, I love the idea that these breathing styles serve to give more options for certain women, who have specific needs, that will highlight their specific strengths. I think that's what I love about them.

Also on surface level, they just really cool and fun??? Shinobu being weird about insects and Mitsuri being weird about cats. Imagine you're a demon getting bodied by poisonous creepy crawlies and magical kitty love glitter?? Based.

The Naruto timeline is killing me. I know the general idea is that it’s been ~60 years since Konoha formed but everyone’s talking like Konoha has existed for forever.

It doesn't make sense! Tsunade is in her 50s in canon! she shouldn't talk about Konoha like it was well established when she was a child! By saying Tsunade is Hashirama's granddaughter instead of his daughter, we must interpret that Hashirama had a child like. a decade before Konoha formed, so that when Konoha is 10, Tsunade is born. But that's BATSHIT. that means anyone older than sixty– an age even front line shinobi can reach as evidenced by Hiruzen, and surely an age shinobi that specialize in skills that are less directly combative/take them out of the village often, MUCH LESS CIVILIANS!! You cannot make propaganda good enough to make an entire generation of senior citizens forget that your honorable village hasn't even hit a century.

There is such a big deal made of Hiruzen remembering a time before Konoha and so you expect him to be like. late 80s or 90s. old enough to makes him recalling that time suitably rare. old enough that every shinobi is like. wow. you're hot shit and also God Of Shinobi. But he's SIXTY EIGHT. Sakura's civilian grandparents probably remember a time before Konoha. This is not that big of a accomplishment. I don't care if Kishimoto thinks 60 years is a long ass time to a shinobi. It just doesn't work for the sort of worldbuilding he's trying to sell.

My only options are to either stretch the timeline to fit the vibes of "Konoha has been around soooooo long (while still be relatively new in the grand scheme of things)" or scrap all that "Konoha is ancient" shit.

......So. I’ve stretched it to Konoha being formed 100 years ago when canon starts (the year Naruto graduates the Academy). This is more reasonable, making it so that no one alive really Remembers A Time Before, making Konoha's propaganda much more effective.

This, however, has had some significant impact on Hiruzen's generation because even though I have made them significantly older when canon starts (like. mid 80s) they were still born about ~20 years after Konoha was founded. Early enough that some instability was around and Hiruzen's generation could personally know Hashirama and Tobirama, but they don't actually have any experience living through the Warring Clans Era. This has likewise made the Sannin much much older– around the same age as Hiruzen actually is in canon.

But Tsunade's age actually makes sense for her being Hashirama's granddaughter now! So there's that!

For the prompt thing

Wind and pineapple

Hi! Thanks for the prompt! Fair warning, all my knowledge comes from fanfiction.

-

The Chain had landed in Wind's world, the island surrounded by brilliant blue. As soon as the Sailor had recognized his home, he had immediately dragged the other heroes to his house, claiming his grandmother needed to meet all of them. None of them were willing to dampen their youngest member's happiness. Even Legend, who definitely had a hint of glassiness in his eyes. Soon enough all of them were seated at the table.

"Granny," Wind started, "Are the pineapples ready?"

The eight Links looked at each, each with the same question in their eyes.

"Hmm," the elderly woman hummed, " I believe so. It's about that time of year."

The sailor gave out a whoop of excitement and ran to the door, but stopped and looked back, "Anyone wanna come with me?"

Intrigued and curious, Wild, Four, and Warriors followed him. The things in question weren't a long walk away, but they were inland. Soon, the four of them came across them. A field of spiked plants on low bushes spanned at least ten feet by ten feet. Wind danced around the plants, squeezing and pulling leaves. Then, the Sailor pulled a knife from his belt and started sawing below the yellow-green thing. A happy sound escaped Wind as he fell back, clutching his prize to his chest. wild took that as an invitation to flit around, shopping pictures with his Slate.

"Wind" Four asked, crouching down to study the things, "What are these?"

"Pineapple!" Wind held it out in front of him, "It's a fruit! Kinda sweet, makes your mouth all tingly!"

The three didn't have time to response as Wind started making his way home with his treasure.
