It is quite striking how the main plot of Naruto focuses on the problems brought about by a military system whose foundations are intrinsically patriarchal and how much of the “feminist fandom” focuses on the little to no inclusion of women within that system, rather than its dismantling, which was proposed to and tried to be carried out by other characters such as Konan (to mention a female character as bringing Sasuke to the picture might “compromise” the fandom’s idea of “feminism” that upholds itself under the notion that only women can be part of it).

To quote @dushman-e-jaan:

What’s even funnier is that the military as an institution is deeply patriarchal: it’s patriarchy at its best. So wanting Sakura’s inclusion into its apparatus is just a dull, neo-liberal contextualization of locating a “middle-class side-lined girl” into patriarchy and its state strongholds, its militia arms, extensions that are extensively, liberally, and fully utilized to maintain state’s oppression. Something which we saw in the case of Ame’s mass-starvation, Uchiha Massacre, Hyuuga Clan’s slavery, etc. In this regard, to Sakura fandom, inclusion in this oppressive-apparatus is a power-fantasy, a means to cut in on the action not cut it out; so therefore, the question shouldn’t be as to why Sakura isn’t included; it ought to be that why should there be any expansion on the basis of inclusivity into patriarchal institutions in lieu of smashing these systems? However, Sasuke’s just a mean “terrorist” who made “weh-men tears” flow, so the misogyny is just Q-anon deep, and nothing but tumblr feminism can unfurl its insidious tentacles.

In lesser terms, the problem with this idea of “inclusivity” within an intrinsically repressive patriarchal system is that it is sustained on a smoke screen that hides the rottenest veins of the state, because then what is relevant is not the dismantling of an oppressive, enslaving, and genocidal political system, but the lack of female participation within that oppressive, enslaving, and genocidal political system. To this specific “woke feminist” fandom that is the real problem, that is the real issue within such a mindset.

Women are forbidden or diminished from positions of power in a structure specifically designed to oppress different groups of people to keep others at the top of the pyramid, and instead of seeing such a construction as a direct reflection of the real world’s dogmas and the characters that oppose them as real world’s feminist, you lot complain about the lack of female representation or “female power” within that maniacal structure! You’re more concerned about women not being “housewives” inside a military state that rewards blind nationalism and punishes criticism with literal genocide, than dismantling the entire structure upon which such a patriarchal notion is built.

[The idea that women cannot show off and are forced into a lesser role or have their capabilities diminished in pursuit of the enhancement of male abilities is absolutely in line with the patriarchal structure that Naruto's military system reflects. Even the "sexism" that Kishimoto reflects within the manga is consistent with the political system he puts forward and disputing it to make it more "feminist-friendly" does nothing but detract from its verisimilitude.]

Funnily enough, even when I point this out, they will find a way to twist it to their own benefit, because then Kishimoto is the one responsible for not “allowing” female characters to rise against such a patriarchal system (despite Sakura never suffering any of its worst consequences as she was taught by the Hokage herself, or even Hinata getting to be a slave-owner). Inclusivity is everything that this argument boils down to, your twisted wish to see women at every single panel whether it’ll be against or in favor of a genocidal state.

That’s what “woke feminists” taught you and that’s what you’ll defend with your breath, the problem gets again individualized and the real issue, the real problem that the plot is trying to reflect, gets buried upon piles of these arguments.

“The problem is about the military state that at its core it’s patriarchal” =/= “Then why did he write it as a patriarchal state?”

“The military state it’s patriarchal at its core so it’s the real world one” =/= “Then why didn’t he write female characters rising against it?”

“There’re characters that oppose such structure, which is feminism at its finest.” =/= “But they aren’t female.”

And so on… it’s impossible to “win” or get our point across as you move the end goal every time a new argument arises. It’s about fulfilling your power fantasies of invincibility rather than bringing down the patriarchal structure; just like with Naruto’s character, is about gaining acknowledgment within the oppressive system (becoming a renowned/desired individual) rather than dismantling the power sphere to guarantee other minorities’ safety.

Their idea of feminism comes down to women having a more important part inside that tyrannical paradigm, bringing the power scale towards them. It’s not about stripping oppressive institutions of their power, but rather having influence over such spaces.

This is an example of White Feminism’s victory; white feminism doesn’t want the oppressive structure to be questioned, they don’t want their faint position of power to be argued; they want to expand their influence and reach beyond the usual cultural “female” spaces, so they bring down the discussion to simpler topics, like the idea of female participation in such affairs; if they are involved, then it’s good if they’re not, then it’s not.

Even the fact that many of these "feminists" jump to the other side and incur either in the over-festivity of the capabilities of female characters (some being basic skills such as moving with speed) or in the minimization of such to compare them with the "better" male capabilities (which only serve in more violent, clearly patriarchal issues to which these people consider superior given a clear misogynist internalization of the little relevance of powers that are not aligned with the intrinsic violence of the military system) contradicts their supposed dogma.

Under this premise, and I repeat myself because I must keep my arguments as simple and repetitive as possible, the patriarchal system against which they claim to rebel is sustained and deepened since the women who claim to subscribe to the feminist movement have modified their bases to obtain greater relevance, greater individuality among the exploited community -they stop being oppressed to some degree as a reward for their contribution, they become what they swore to destroy in exchange for “inclusion.”

True feminism is about the dismantling of an oppressive structure, passing through the various spheres of repression; gender disparity is only one of many power relations to be questioned, not the only one.

ive seen some tweets on saying ino was a bad friend and how she was fat shaming choji and how sakura unfriending her was the best decision kishimoto made and how ino have no real friends like im tried of the anti inos

First of all, we all need to put respect on Ino's name 👏👏👏

She is just incredible. I started to write the whole paragraph about it, but I like to add manga as a proof and Tumblr has limits on pictures I can add, so Ino's greatness will get her own post and now I'll just list it.

Ino is:

Intelligent AF (she is thinking on her feet, makes great strategies, and fulfills her plans masterfully);

Master of her jutsus (that girl connected the whole shinobi alliance because why not AT 16. AS A CHILD. Not to mention taking control of biju away from Madara and Obito, again, AT 16 YEARS OLD;

An amazing inventor, like what she did to Konohas barrier??? Girl boss.

And she is, without a doubt - an incredible friend.

Ino is hot-headed, and when you don't read the manga as a whole, it's easy to think that Ino is somewhat "rude" but then you have to ask yourself:

To who

and

When

Because if we are talking about Chioji, then people need to reread the manga.

She is a sweetheart.

Ino even used her jutsus on Choji to take on Asuma, when Choji was too emotional/scared to fight on his own.

Just to give him the pep talk. Even though when she is in someone else's body, she is sustaining ALL THE INJURIES. She went against her own sensei, a junin, a member of Twelve Guardian Ninja (bodyguards of the Land of Fire's daimyō), to give her friend some emotional support.

Side-note, being mad at Ino for calling Choji fat as a teenage girl makes me laugh because this is Asuma at 31 yo calling him a "fatso":

Where is the same energy in calling Asuma a fat-shamer, huh?

Not to mention, literally every other character calling him fat too. People will see flaws in Ino, but Asuma, Naruto, etc. Can call anyone anything, even worse things, without the same emotional support that Ino offers Choji, and it's "ok"? Give her a break.

She was even canonicaly called "a considered caretaker"

Ino is an amazing friend, and noone had more pleasure to feel it than Sakura.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm a Sakura stan (obviously), but I see when she makes mistakes and breaking her friendship with Ino was THE BIGGEST ONE.

(Yes, she needed that. Sakura had to get out of Ino's shadow in order to "bloom". She had to be on her own to grow as a person, teammate, ninja etc. blah blah).

Ino had no reason to help Sakura when they were children. Ino was talented, popular and smart.

Ino didn't need Sakura, but Sakura needed Ino.

They met when Sakura was bullied and beaten up by their peers. She was so tormented by classmates that when she was beaten up by sound ninjas, Ino had seen it as nearly the same.

Ino was Sakura's biggest protector, when they were children

And even later, after they "broke off" their friendship

(Mind you, sound ninjas are from Orochimaru. They are not on the same level as the rest of the genins. They managed to beat up Lee, who is FAR stronger than Ino-Shika-Cho)

And after Ino protected Sakura, when she had all the reasons to gloat about, she thought this

Ino jumped into a battle against an opponent many times stronger than her, for Sakura. Just to protect her friend, that was nothing but "rude" towards her in years (and vice-versa lol).

"As if we don't know, we'd be dead without her and Sasuke".

That's the friend in Ino.

She even fixed Sakura's hair, so Sakuta feels less insecure during the rest of the exam. She didn't have to do it. Why would Ino give a sh*t? They are not teammates. They are not even friends, and yet, Ino cares.

They do fight like cats and dogs (like any good friends do), but Ino is THE friend of Sakura.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ino is the friend, and she deserves all her flowers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So if I had seen those tweets, Dear Anon, i would be so angry because Ino deserves all the love. The only problem with Ino that I can see is that she is not shown often enough. Every time we see Ino, she does something incredible.

She is a great friend, an incredible ninja, and as another side note, Ino not being a junin makes me EVEN MORE ANGRY.

That girl deserves it.

I had been out in town running some errands and picking up more fabric when I had run into Sasuke. We had decided to head to a local sake brew house to catch up. “I still can’t believe you get to train under Keiji Maeda and learn medicine from Ieyasu Tokugawa.” Sasuke said as we sat together in a quiet corner.

“It’s definitely not something I would have imagined just a few years ago.” I replied, a fond smile coming to my face. “But I wouldn’t trade it for anything else.”

“I don’t blame you. It really sounds amazing.” Sasuke replied. “So, what’s Ieyasu like?”

I laughed as I saw the stars in Sasuke’s eyes. “He’s prickly like a porcupine.” I answered. “But that’s just to hide how kind he really is. He actually really cares a lot.”

“I see. I see. Classic tsundere.” He murmured.

I laughed. “Yeah, something like that.”

“What about the others?” He asked. “I’m not asking as you know a ninja, but as a Sengokua fan.”

I laughed. “I know, Sasuke.” I replied. “What about how are things going for you?”

“Oh you know, counting the KU’s I survive in a day.”

“KU’s?”

“It’s my unit for measuring the amount of times Lord Kenshin tries to kill me in a day.”

“Sasuke, you say that like it’s something normal.”

“For Kenshin it is.” Sasuke replied with a shrug. “But it helped me become a moderately awesome ninja.”

“You are more than moderately awesome, Sasuke.” I replied, patting my hand on his shoulder.

“Hey, there you are!” Called a familiar boisterous voice.

I turned smiling as I saw my boyfriend. “Keiji!”

“That’s right your man’s here!” Keiji called, wearing that big grin as he came over and wrapped his massive arms around me.

I laughed even as my cheeks reddened. “Keiji…”

“What? I’m just happy to see you.” He replied, giving me a squeeze.

“I’m pretty happy to see you, too.” I replied, genuinely happy to see him.

Sasuke gave us one of his signature small smiles. “Looks like it’s time for me to kervanish.”

“No need for that.” Keiji replied. “It’s just getting late and I thought I would make sure my girl got home safe. You should stay and enjoy yourself. Here next round is even on me.” Keiji was then putting some coin down on the table.

“I couldn’t…” Sasuke began to protest.

“Consider it a thanks for being a good friend.” Keiji replied.

I said my goodbyes to Sasuke and then Keiji was leading me out of the brew house. I was surprised when Keiji didn’t immediately head for his manor, but instead pulled me into an alley behind the bar. The next thing I knew, he had me pinned between his massive body and the wall.

I looked up at him, my eyes wide. “Keiji…”

He brought his fingers beneath my chin. “Princess, you ought to know by now there are consequences for the things you do.”

“Like what?” I asked. “Keiji, what in the…mph…” My words were cut off by his lips on mine, his tongue roughly slipping past.

He moved, placing one large meaty thigh between my legs and pressing against my heat. His large hands began to roam over my curves, the warmth of his hands seeping through the fabric of my kimono. He pulled from my lips only to trail kisses along my jaw and down the side of my neck.

“K-Keiji…what’s gotten into…you?” I asked, my voice coming out sultry to my own ears.

“Told you…there are consequences, Princess.” He replied even as he began to pull my collar open wide so that he could have access to my collarbones and chest…where his kisses took on a stinging pleasure. I was certain there were going to be red marks later.

“Keiji…not that…I’m not enjoying this…but we should…stop…and finish this…at home…” I replied, putting my hands on his solid chest.

Keiji pulled back to grin at me. “Make me.” He then pressed his thigh harder against me, grinding it against my core.

A moan slipped past my lips. My hands were still on his chest…yet I couldn’t bring myself to push him away. Not when I was enjoying what he was doing. “But…someone could see…”

“I won’t let anyone see you.” He replied, trailing biting kisses down my throat.

My mind was becoming hazy with desire and pleasure. My hips began to move almost as if my body had a mind of its own. Seeking more pleasure.

“Heh, yeah…just like that.” He murmured, hands slipping inside my kimono as it began to fall open, and cupping my breasts, thumbs teasing my nipples.

I moaned. “Keiji…”

“You want more don’t ya? Yer my wild one for the wild child.” He replied, moving quickly. The next thing I knew, the hem of my kimono was up around my hips, my legs were wrapped around his waist, and his hardened length was buried deep inside me.

I clung tightly to Keiji as he began to thrust hard and fast. “Hah…Keiji…” I moaned.

“Don’t let yourself get too loud…they might hear you. Can’t have anyone else hearing you make those dying duck noises.” He teased me.

“K-Keiji…” I half whined, half moaned. “D-dont…tease me…like that…”

Keiji chuckled in my ear. “But ya like it… when I… tease you.” He replied, still thrusting hard.

“Hah…ngh…mph…” Keiji captured my lips with his, swallowing my moans.

I could feel that heat building up within me. There was something so hot about being in this alley. Something thrilling about the fact that we could be caught. Something so hot about the urgency with which Keiji had taken me.

I moaned into his mouth as my release hit me. Stars danced behind my lids as my walls clamped around his cock and pulled him into his own release.

We stayed there for a moment, both of us panting as Keiji still held me against the wall. Still had himself pressed deeply inside me. “We’ll get…straightened up…and head home…and you’d better be prepared.”

“You plan…for more?” I asked, breathless.

Keiji grinned. “Gotta remind ya who gets to make you make those dying duck noises, Princess.”

I blinked. “Wait…you were jealous? Of Sasuke?”

“Sasuke…Ieyasu.” Keiji answered. “You and Sasuke share a lot…and the way you were talking about Ieyasu when Sasuke asked you about him…”

“Wait…you were there that long?”

“Didn’t mean to listen in, but I couldn’t help it.” Keiji replied.

I leaned in and kissed him gently on the lips. “You’re the only one for me, Keiji.” I told him. “And I’ll be happy to make those dying duck noises for you all night if it makes you feel better…but preferably at home.”

Keiji chuckled and returned my kiss. “I love you, Princess.”

“I love you, Keiji.”

It honestly makes me really sad when I see Sasuke fans insulting Itachi… :(

Those people are just a bunch of hypocrites who won't see their own hypocrisy in the mirror and realise how absurdly stupid they look.

They think there's only one character in the entirety of Naruto who was manipulated and hated and used and his entire personality was his trauma response. Because, the same logic applies to Itachi as well.

9 out of 10 times if you defend either of them, you're going to use similar kind of arguments: they did wrong things and plenty of them are unjustified. But you can't ignore the emotional context and psychological aspects of both the characters.

Whenever Sasuke fans defend him, this is exactly what they're doing. Explaining his psychology. Why he did it, rather than just he did it. But the moment you bring in Itachi with the same arguments, they throw a fit. Because in that case, Itachi's actions are presented as raw incidents with no context and psychological aspect. He just did it.

They act like he killed people because he wanted to. He traumatized Sasuke "for funsies". He wanted to use Kotoamatsukami on him because he can't see Sasuke having a life of his own. A control freak.

They ignore everything else as long as they can carry on with their hateful lies.

Once again I'm going to repeat this. They use Sasuke's experiences, fears, trauma, and sufferings to explore Sasuke. They don't take Naruto, Sakura, or even Karin's experiences to analyse him. But they use Sasuke's experiences, psychology, and sufferings to analyse Itachi too. No way they need Itachi's experiences to analyse Itachi, right?

They want to prove Itachi is bad, evil, Konoha bootlicker and shit like that, because the worse Itachi is in their heads, the better Sasuke looks.

They get angry that people see Itachi as a good person or as a martyr, as if any interpretation of his character without their approval is wrong.

These people behave exactly like Sasuke haters, it's just they're hating on Itachi.

God forbid they EVER see anything from Itachi's point of view. Because as a Sasuke fan, they only need to see from Sasuke's eyes and no one else's.

I used to do this when I was 14-15 years old. My favorite characters and their feelings mattered only and anyone who hurt them was bad. I think at one point you need to get out and see the world isn't as black and white.

Itachi had feelings too, and sure they weren't spoonfed to you, but there were tons of instances explaining his reasoning and psychology, and that's why people love him.

Sasuke fans who hate Itachi come across as nothing but hypocrites. And the gatekeeping, that is, who can write pro Sasuke posts, is disgusting too.

"Oh, you write pro Itachi posts? Should not be writing pro Sasuke posts." And then the harassment, hate asks in the ask box. It's a lot of headache.

To summarise, it's better to block those haters. You'll be able to explain literally every accusation against Itachi from their arguments, but they're not ready to listen to that. I myself have had to block most of them, which is what made Tumblr bearable for me.

———————————————————————

"Princess," Itachi calls from my bedroom door, softly knocking on it as he lets the light from the house filter through the crack. "Princess, you need to get up," he mutters, pushing the door open wider, coating more of my face in the bright light. I groan, rolling over in bed to bury my head into my pillows.

He shushes me, closing the door, and cutting off the light from the hallway. "You're fine. Princesses don't whine," he coos, settling on the edge of my bed. "Why are you so whiney?"

"Daddy wakes me up a lot nicer than you," I mutter, trying to bury my head deeper into my pillows. It doesn't work, Itachi's presence still disrupts my groggy half-asleep state.

"Well, Dad is already gone for the day. You need to get up so we can make it to the Clan Hall in time for the clan meeting," he hums, his hand sliding up and down my back, slowly pushing my blanket down to my waist.

"I don't want to," I whine, shivers sliding down my spine when his hand dips under my shirt, slowly inching its way up my bare back.

"You have to, Princess. Good leaders don't blow off meetings. Don't you want to be a good clan leader?" His hands are warm against my back, rubbing slow circles, his fingertips sliding down my sides the further up he gets. "Roll over, Princess."

"No," I grumble, hugging my pillow closer to me. Itachi uses the slight arch in my body to slide his hand underneath me, curious fingers dancing around under me. "Maybe I don't want to be a clan leader."

"You don't have a choice, Princess. You know that," he mutters, lightly cupping my breast. "Be good and roll over for your Onii-Chan," he repeats, his hand softly massaging my chest, and sending more shivers down my spine.

I let out a huff, determined to keep my whiney act up. If I'm lucky - and if Itachi and Daddy aren't at each other's throats by the end of the day - I might be able to convince the two of them to take the family out to eat tonight. "Good girl," he coos, shifting his position when I turn over.

Itachi's eyes fall over me, slow and steady as they climb down me. It's hard not to squirm under his stare, partly because it's so intense, and partly because you can never tell what he's thinking. However, the growingly rough pawing of his hand tips me off a bit. "Princess?"

"Onii-Chan?"

He stays silent, eyes drinking me up again. "Dad is retiring in a year or so." I nod my head, sinking my teeth into my tongue as his thumb rolls over my nipple. "Then I'll be the chief."

"I know," I breathe out, snapping my eyes closed.

"Do you know why?"

"Because Daddy is the chief and you were born before Sasuke."

He hums in approval, his other hand snaking under my shirt to toy with my neglected breast. "That's right, Princess. Since I'm the oldest the clan is my right, being chief is my right, you are my right. All because I was born first. You're my birthright, Princess. Your future, Sasuke's future, I get to decide all of it as soon as Dad retires."

"I know, Itachi," I mumble, the boob he's been playing with the longest starting to ache from the constant attention.

"Open your eyes," he whispers, his voice closer to my face, and his nose barely touching mine. "I want to see your pretty eyes." Slowly, I do as I'm told, peeling my eyes open. That gets me another approving hum. "You're going to be such a pretty chieftess. Do you know that, Princess? Do you want Onii-Chan to make you a pretty chieftess?" I nod my head, letting a whine slip out.

Itachi drops his hold on my chest, pulling his hands and his face away from me. "Then get up. A good chieftess isn't late to clan meetings."

I whine again, louder this time as I roll back over. This time a disapproving hum spills as he rolls off my bed. His footsteps fill the room, followed by the snap of a switch, and then bright light inviting itself into my sights. "Onii-Chan," I groan, tugging the blanket over my head.

"Princess," he calls back, paired with more footsteps and then my closet being snapped open. Itachi walks around my room, pulling out whatever he wants me to wear today.

Daddy has been very open with us since childhood, and because of that he's let Itachi do as he wishes with me, for the most part. Even now I can hear his voice rattling around my head. 'What use does a princess have to our clan? You make heirs, you keep your chief happy, and you make our people hopeful for the clan's future'.

Once, when I was younger and heard some of the girls in my class talk about taking over their clans, I asked Daddy what would have happened if I had been born before Itachi. He chuckled at me and then said nothing would have changed. Itachi still would be taking over and I'd still just be a 'silly, pretty girl responsible for giving Itachi a son'.

Itachi is back next to my bedside, his hand sliding under my shirt again to stumble over my spine. "Sit up, Princess."

"I don't want to."

There's a swat to my butt, followed by a soothing rub to the smack. "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. Sit up and let me dress you. I'm not in the mood to deal with your attitude."

Well, so much for going out for dinner I guess. I pout, making sure to make it audible as I sit up in bed, settling on my knees as I rub my eyes. "Why are you so moody today?"

"I'm not moody," he grumbles, gripping my shirt to pull it over my head.

"You waited five seconds to grope me this morning and now you're bitching."

Itachi grips my neck, pushing my head back into my pillows before landing two more swats to my butt before releasing me. "No potty mouth," he mutters, leaning over to kiss my cheek before he walks away. "Come on, Princess," he adds, tapping his thigh.

I crawl out of bed, grumbling the whole time and rubbing my backside to help with the stinging. "You're being mean today."

"I'm not being mean," Itachi mutters, hands on my waist to position me how he likes. His hands fall, pushing off my pajama pants and letting them tumble to the floor. "You're being an improper Princess," he adds, toying with the waistband of my panties. "How are you supposed to be my pretty chieftess if you can't keep your mouth clean?"

"I'm sorry," I murmur, more sparks collecting in my belly from Itachi's lingering fingers.

"No, you're not," he deadpans, eyes locked on me as he finishes stripping me. "You get off on misbehaving, but you better listen closely," he starts, his hand jumping up to cling to my cheeks.

"Itachi," I whine, slouching and letting my head lull around. "I don't care about this stupid meeting - "

I'm cut off by the fingers of his free hand being shoved into my mouth, pressing down on my tongue, and slowly inching their way down my throat. "Be quiet, listen, and suck. I already told you I'm not in the mood for your attitude," he grumbles, letting his fingers rest. Itachi stares into my eyes, waiting for me to obey.

When I do finally listen, starting to suck on his fingers, his eyes widen a bit, and a visible shiver slithers through his body. "Dad and I already got in a fight today. Don't go stirring more trouble for me, do you hear me?" I nod my head in understanding, already planning to sideline this agreement. "I'm being serious, Princess. Behave today. Sit still, look pretty, and don't talk unless you're spoken to first." Again, I nod my head in agreement.

Maybe I should behave, especially if Itachi is being this strict. Whatever he fought with Daddy about must have been heavy if he's this wound tight. He lets out another sigh, visibly relaxing from my agreement. His attention fixates on me harder, his fingers starting to thrust in and out of my mouth as he releases my cheeks.

Slowly, the red of Itachi's sharingan melts into his eyes, the three pretty tomoes of them standing out against the bloody color.

I always hoped I'd manage to awaken the sharingan, but when Sasuke's awakened and mine was still nowhere to be found, I gave up hope of being blessed with our clan's greatest gift.

Despite not having the power, I still notice the little ticks of Itachi's body. Least noticeably, his picked-up breathing, and most noticeably, the way he grips himself as he finger-fucks my mouth. After a few more pumps, he tugs his fingers out of my mouth, turning away from me as he sucks my saliva off them.

Itachi's focus stays on my clothes, slowly pulling them onto me and avoiding looking at me as he does so.

"Onii-Chan?" I ask once I'm fully dressed, trying to fill some of the silence.

"Princess?" He mutters, face still scrunched up in discomfort as he messes with the collar of my over-cover, making sure it's popped up, and perfectly straight.

"Do you want me... to... suck you... again?" I whisper, flickering my eyes around the room. Despite Daddy letting Itachi pretty much do whatever he wants concerning me, he still has a few rules. Most of which has to do with keeping up appearances with the village and the clan. Though, he has always told Itachi we're 'not allowed to lay together in compassion or perform any such acts until after your inauguration'.

Growing up being told that was confusing but Itachi seemed to always know what it meant, like he always does. I swear, he knows everything.

Despite that being one of Daddy's only rules, Itachi doesn't listen to it very well. He kisses and makes out with me a lot, and he likes to play with my breasts when he's stressed. Last week he talked me into giving him a blow job and I've been nervous about Daddy finding out ever since. Most of the time he'll turn a blind eye to the stolen kisses, but I don't think that's something Onii-Chan can talk us out of.

"No, Princess. I'm fine," he mutters, leaning down to peck my nose with a few kisses. Itachi shifts, rubbing his nose against my cheek before his lips press against mine. "I don't want Dad mad again."

My eyes widen a bit, quickly adding two and two. "Did Daddy and you fight about - "

"Our little fun on the dock?" He teases, chuckling a bit as he holds my chin, continuing to pepper my lips in soft kisses. "Yes, we fought about it this morning, which is why it's so important for you to behave today, okay?"

I mutter a yes, my obedience being rewarded with something more than a hum this time. Itachi tilts his head, his fingertips sliding up to squeeze my cheeks and force my lips apart. His tongue slides in, rolling over mine as his lips dance against mine. His free hand wanders around my body, ending up on my boob again.

Small noises tumble from me, being eaten up by him. The longer Itachi violates my mouth and fondles my tit, the louder my sounds get. A knock at the door is what finally pulls him off of me. "Yes?" He calls, wiping his mouth on his sleeve before sliding his thumb across my lips, cleaning up the mess he left behind.

"Daichi here. He says he's here to collect us and Princess for the clan meeting," Sasuke answers, his voice muffled by the door. "Are you guys ready to go yet? I don't want to be late."

"We'll be out in a second," he grumbles, slamming his lips against mine and shoving his tongue back into my mouth. A soft huff of warm breath coats my face when he pulls away, Itachi's stress about the meeting and his fight with Daddy slowly becoming evident in his body language again. "If Dad or me or Sasuke isn't around and a guy tries to talk to you, what do you say?" He mutters, running his fingertips over my bottom lip.

"My Onii-Chan will be right back. You'll want to talk to him instead."

"Good girl," he coos slowly, dragging out the words as his eyes trail after his fingers. "Alright, we should get going before Dad comes banging down the door himself." Itachi steals another kiss before gripping my hand and pulling me out of the room.

As we head out of the house, an annoyed Sasuke trudges behind Itachi right next to me, his eyes flickering between us as we all follow after Daichi. "Why couldn't Dad and Mom have had another kid?" He grumbles to himself, eyes stuck on our knotted hands before he rolls his eyes.

———————————

Itachi's impatience might not be showing on his face, but evidence of it will be left on my skin. He's hiked up my skirt, the hem of it lying on his knuckles as he clings to my thigh, promising to leave bruises behind.

Both he and Daddy are listening intensely to this month's civilian compliance; ninety percent of them falling under village territory instead of clan territory, five percent being unreasonable complaints, and the remains being the complaints of a sane man.

Itachi's notepad is covered in ink, half being actual notes and the other half being random doodles and games he's been playing with me. Well, he was playing with me until Daddy shot him a glare. The biggest benefit of me 'being Itachi's property' as Daddy says, is that he gets blamed for everything and I usually get off scotch-free, this being one of those times.

Sasuke's eyes keep flickering to me, his spot securely next to me. He's just as bored as I am, the two of us and Mom just being here for show. Everyone knows Daddy and Itachi hold all the power, at least until Sasuke becomes of age and takes over as the clan's advisor; more specifically, Itachi's advisor. "Hey," he whispers, leaning towards me.

"Hello," I whisper back, glancing at him as I mess with Itachi's fingers, playfully tugging them off of me one at a time, just for him to drop them back into place.

"Do you think Dad would take us out to eat after this?"

"Probably not," I mutter, abandoning my losing game against the older of my brothers. "He got in a fight with Itachi this morning."

"Of course he did," Sasuke grumbles, slouching in his chair. Itachi picks up the 'misbehavior' right away, shooting a warning glance at our brother who instantly straightens up. He's silent for a moment or two until he leans towards me again. "Do you think Dad would let Itachi take just the two of us out?"

"Depends."

"On what?"

"When you ask."

"Why do I have to ask?" He grumbles, slouching again, but only for a moment before he fixes his posture. "Dad says yes to you more than he says yes to Itachi and me combined. You ask."

I roll my eyes, dropping them back down to the hand on my thigh. "Fine but we have to wait to ask until the religious elders have him cornered."

"Why?"

I roll my eyes again, this time landing them on Sasuke. "They all talk at the same time so he's usually having three to seven conversations at once. The busier his mind is the less he thinks about the question we ask and the more likely he is to say yes just to get us to leave."

"That's - "

"- smart?" I butt in, causing Sasuke to laugh, which then gets him pointed looks from both Daddy and Itachi.

I shoot them a soft smile, which is good enough to wiggle him out of trouble with Daddy, who smiles back and nods his head to me; his silent 'it's almost time for recess'. For every two hours the meeting takes, Daddy calls a recess. The two-hour mark is approaching and we're still on the first bullet point of the meeting. It's going to be a long day if this is how slow the meeting keeps going. Hopefully, there are just more complaints than usual.

The smile doesn't work on Itachi though. His hand tightens on my thigh, using it to pull my chair closer to him. His head tilts a bit before he turns it, his lips pressed against my ear. "Behave. Stop egging Sasuke on. Just because Dad won't yell or punish you doesn't mean I won't. Behave," he repeats the word, hissing it to enforce it more.

"Yes, Onii-Chan," I mutter, lulling my head away and scanning the Clan Hall room for the millionth time. Itachi's hand loosens on me, his thumb rubbing circles into my skin.

"Alright," Daddy's voice booms, the slam of his hands echoing in the room just as much as his voice. He's standing now, getting ready to announce our recess.

I lean forward, making sure he can see me around Itachi, and doing my best to pout my way into a longer break. The dropped pursing of his lips lets me know he does see me and that I'll probably get my way.

"Let us take a thirty-minute break. Feel free to leave the room for food, water, a smoke break, or to simply stretch your legs. Just a reminder, after the thirty-minute mark, the room's doors will be closed and locked. Do not bother returning if you're going to be late."

"Yes, Chief!" The room replies before people start jumping to their feet, scurrying out of the room to do whatever they wish with their free time.

"Of course, you got your way like always," Sasuke groans, hunching in his chair with a pout on his face now instead of mine.

Daddy takes the short strides over, smacking Sasuke upside the head and glaring down at him. "I don't know why you're complaining. A longer break benefits you too. Thirty minutes should be more than enough time for you to go hunt down that civilian girl and disappoint me again."

"Sakura is a kunoichi, not a civilian," he grumbles, getting another wack upside his head. Itachi is stirring next to me, his patience with our Father already low and quickly shrinking with the constant assault on our brother.

"That's not how I meant it and you know it," Daddy fumes, the flames of his anger cooling when I start moving my chair. His hands fall on it, pulling it back, and offering his hand to help me to my feet. "I'm sorry the meeting is going on so long, Princess. I'm sure you're bored."

"I'm bored too."

I jump forward, gripping Daddy's hand before he can hit Sasuke again. "It's fine, Daddy," I coo, rubbing my cheek against his hand as I cling to his wrists. "I have a question though."

"What's your question, Princess?" He mutters, cupping my cheek and rubbing his thumb over it.

"Well, I want ramen for dinner so I was wondering if Itachi could take me out to get some tonight? Sasuke too, of course," I add, cutting off any possible protest left over from his argument with Itachi this morning.

Daddy's jaw clicks as he simmers on my request, his eyes snapping towards Sasuke before settling on Itachi. "If I find out that this is a plot for Sasuke to sneak over to that girl's house or for you to have another 'deck date' I'm going to hurt you, and then I'm going to hurt you again for dragging your sister into it. Am I understood?"

"Yes sir," Itachi answers, his glare dipped in just as much venom as our Father's.

With that, Daddy lets out a sigh, bending down to kiss my forehead before wandering off to wrap Mom up as his arm candy and to mingle with our people.

"You need to drop that girl," Itachi says, rubbing his eyes before he stands up.

"I don't get why I have to drop Sakura," Sasuke mutters, slouching in his chair and leaning his head back.

"Because," Itachi barks, taking a second to calm himself before he continues. "She's not a Uchiha. We marry within the clan, so unless she's going to wait around long enough for me to fix that policy, you're going to get stuck marrying a fellow Uchiha."

Sasuke widens his eyes before rolling them, joining the two of us standing up. "At least Dad is letting us go out tonight. Do you think we'll be able to stay out long enough for him to go to bed?"

"Hopefully," I sigh, starting to head out of the room. I don't care what Itachi decides we're going to do during the break, as long as I get to stretch my legs.

The boys follow after me, each a step behind. "So, are we going to talk about the 'deck date' thing?" Sasuke asks a smile back in his voice.

"No," Itachi deadpans, causing Sasuke to laugh. One more year. We just have to survive one more year and then Daddy won't be in power anymore.

Handsome, beautiful, pretty, gorgeous, stunning, female reproductive system destroyer, male reproductive system destroyer, ravishing, magnificent and all the synonyms you can find are applicable to this man because he is the most BEAUTIFUL character ever created in the Naruto franchise (Tsunade who? Hinata who? Mei Terumi? YOU WISH!). Just. LOOK. AT. HIM!

I understand that you, anon, are a bit confused because people here on tumblr have TERRIBLE taste in men and all of them should be thrown in JAIL (just look at how my man lost against a smelly zombie grandpa with a giant RAT NEST for hair), so I’ll put my firm heterosexuality aside for a moment and give myself over to my most carnal desires so I can defend my glorious golden-haired, blue-eyed king.

Look at Minato. Just look at him. He is a sweet, tender, kind, charming, clever, emotionally intelligent man who is also a good father and a great husband. And it’s important to note that being the ninja president didn’t stop him from helping around the house (TAKE NOTES NARUTO & SASUKE!!)

And I must once again ask you to look at him. Have you seen how amazing the Hokage cloak looks on HIM? He invented the flame cloak and still wears the best one (three Hokages after him have tried imitating his looks but none have reached his level of drip). Minato putting his Hokage cloak on is what Nirvana surely must look like. He could put rasengan after rasengan through my chest, killing me slowly with that sweet, tender smile on his angelic face and I would die happy.

A beautiful blond man with a body sculpted by the greek gods, who is also incredibly sweet and charming and that would die to protect his family. A man that can kill you in a thousand different ways before you even blink… uggghh, I hate to destroy the beautiful relationship that Minato has with Kushina because they both were born to be together, but TAKE ME MINATO, I’M YOURS!!!!

For context their responding to this post about Minato

We finally have a defense for Minato

Being recent on Tumblr and in the Naruto fandom in general (I've been there for 04 months), this fandom has really made me see all the colors.

As a die-hard fan of Sakura and Sasuke who didn't particularly care about the prospect of them as a couple before, I tended at first to subscribe mainly to individual pro sakura and pro sasuke accounts, something I I quickly regretted it because lord, these two fandoms suck. I love both of these characters and it's very difficult to see their two fandoms being so vicious towards each other. If you don't like one of them, why talk about it? why make so many passive-aggressive comments to provoke the other party? They despise each other so much that it's difficult to have a moment of peace for those who truly love both.

And then, let's not even talk about the strange takes they have about them.

I swear if I ever come across something like "Sasuke was right" or "Sasuke Revolution" or "Sakura deserved better - that is, she deserved everything except Sasuke - or "Sakura lost all its development", I'm going to lose my shit.

Their views are biased, self-centered, misinformed and so oc for many that it sometimes makes you wonder if they even understand the characters they say they love. It seems more like they… project their problems and their insecurities onto these two and it's frankly disappointing to see. They like the fanon version of Sasuke and Sakura that they have built in their head and not their canon character and it's quite sad that such characters are reduced to stereotypes by their respective fandom. Not all of them are like that of course, but I've encountered so many of them that it ended up exhausting any good feelings I had towards these two fan bases.

All of this ended up pushing me towards the SS fandom because it's easier to find fans who like both characters. And finally, even though this fandom also has its own absurd points of view that sometimes make me want to throw myself out of a window as well as a blatant bias towards one of the two characters that bothers me, it's still better than the shit I've seen before. here at least I don't have to worry about reading crap like "Sasuke is toxic", "Sasuke didn't do anything wrong", "Sakura objectifies/is obsessed with Sasuke", "Sakura is poorly written" etc and I admit it's a relief. Plus, it's nice to see the fans celebrating them and their relationship, which is what I signed up for after all.

Not to say one is better than the other because the whole Naruto fandom is shit anyway but at least there is more room to like these two characters without getting attacked in this fandom than in the other two.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

You know, your experience of the pro Sasuke and pro Sakura fandoms hating on each other, essentially being what pushed you towards the SS fandom, kinda echoes what pushed me to being a SS fan as well. When the series ended, I was fully neutral on them, but I definitely expected them to get together because it was just obvious. But after seeing some of the absolutely absurd takes that a lot of the fandom had towards them, it made me want to defend them because what they were saying just wasn't true. So much like you, I was also pushed towards the SS fandom due to fandom hatred.

And yes, the SS fandom also has it's fair share of absurd points and biased takes, as I've certainly had to argue against some of them before. Yet, it's still better than the toxicity and the sheer delusion exhibited from a very loud portion of the anti fandoms.

I think I read somewhere on your tumblr (correct me if I'm wrong) that you share the idea that in Naruto's canon, a polyamorous relationship made sense? If the answer is yes, I must say that I share it too. At least in the anime, the love that Naruto felt for Sakura was very cute, selfless and pure. Sakura was also obsessed with Sasuke and she passed the same obsession on to Naruto haha. On the other hand, it is true that Sasuke also had a very strong bond with Naruto, but there are details that lead me to think that he also came to have feelings for Sakura, although to a lesser extent than Naruto. Tell me what do you think about it? For me it would have been great if at the end of the war the 3 of them had sex at the same time, consolidating and repairing their bond as team seven

i believe that polyamory is the answer to most love triangles, but unfortunately not for team seven lol. the problem with bringing a third into Sasuke and Naruto's relationship is that regardless of who it is, that third person is never going to be loved on the same level as Sasuke and Naruto love each other.

Sakura in particular feels like a bad third to me. i really cannot see Sasuke having any kind of romantic or sexual attraction to her, and Naruto's crush on her always felt like it was more about wanting to be on Sasuke's level.

I'm not totally against it, but it's not my cup of tea lol

Three's A Crowd - Chapter 20

Summary:

SasuSaku. He didn't mean to kill that man. He had simply reacted to being attacked. And now Konoha is forced to hunt down the rogue members of Team 7, or risk open war. Eventual NaruHina.

XXX

OFFICIALLY COMPLETE ON HERE AND AO3 NOW.

To read from beginning:

Tumblr.

AO3.

FF.NET.

Thankyou to everyone for reading!💛

[All tumblr posts are tagged ‘Three’s A Crowd’ with their corresponding chapter for quick and easy access.]

Enjoy. :)

The house was large enough, without holding the splendour of the Uchiha clan, but Sakura found it quaint, having never had anything lavish growing up anyway. She was fine with it, and had been for the past ten years. At that thought, she felt a pang of sadness for what she had left behind, and what she was going to be saying goodbye to very soon.

She was at a point in her life where the things she'd wanted as a teenager were finally coming to fruition. She'd learnt to drop her preconceived notions of time, of pain and of friendship; they were never quite the experiences people would have her believe. But she was content – nervous, exhilarated, but content.

Sakura shifted in her seat, her arms tightening comfortably around the sleeping infant resting against her chest.

The events that had led her to this place ‒ this wonderful nest in the middle of a dense forest just north-east of the land of tea ‒ plagued her mind every time change entered her life. She remembered how angry the Kumo ninja were, how they'd chased the trail she and Sasuke had purposefully laid for half a day before getting it through their thick skulls that it was just a distraction. And by the time the idiots had made it back to where Sasuke had killed their fellow Shinobi, the Hokage's group had already retrieved both Naruto and Hinata.

But Sasuke had insisted on not trying to contact Hinata for a month – to circumvent the standard protocol that would be put in place on Naruto (having him followed around the village by ANBU).

Sakura smiled at the twinge of orange peeking over the tops of the tree-line barely ten feet from the porch of her house ‒ and she had watched every sunrise since that fateful day. Not even Misaki could tire her out enough to make her miss it. Her four month old daughter fluttered awake at that thought; Misaki meant 'beautiful blossom', and Sakura had chosen it specifically (thankfully, she also had her pink hair…). Her only daughter had a name with a similar meaning to her own.

She'd dreamt of that from the first moment she knew she would be with Sasuke for the rest of her life.

For a few minutes, Misaki fussed before falling asleep again. Sakura was considering joining her when the sound of a particularly boisterous child racing through the house distracted her.

"Mummy! Mummy!" The small, raven haired boy came running out of the house, his dark eyes wide and excited. "I did it! I finally did it!"

Sakura resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She knew what he was talking about, and if she was right, he was lying again. Shou was five years old and the very image of his father – complete with that hairstyle that looked like a chicken's arse, except Shou thought it was funny rather than humiliating. His name meant "soar" or "fly", and he was often buoyant and lively, just like his namesake. In fact, he often reminded her of Naruto – though where he'd picked that up from, she was too scared to contemplate.

Sakura hushed him and Shou's head drooped as he finally noticed his baby sister, sleeping peacefully in his mother's arms.

"Sorry," he whispered.

"What did you finally do sweetheart?"

Shou grinned like a maniac. "I activated my Sharingan!"

It had taken him months to pronounce that sentence properly, and now that he was practically an expert, he wouldn't let it go. But of course, a five year old, no matter how talented, would not be able to activate their Sharingan – especially since Shou had never been in a fight before, other than training with his father. Sakura said the same thing she said every time he claimed to be a prodigy.

"That's lovely honey – show me."

He squirmed immediately, rubbing the soles of his little feet against the wooden floor and actually had the decency this time to blush. Sakura grinned at him.

"Come here," she said, waving him over.

Shou climbed onto her lap, being mindful of his sleeping sister, and let his mother embrace him. No matter how many times he cried wolf, she'd never rouse on him. She was just wondering if he'd finally give up the whole "playing Sharingan" once he actually did activate it, when she sensed two chakras approaching – they were just short of the tree-line, and even Shou noticed them before they finally appeared.

Sakura smiled, remembering that while she had her daily tradition of watching the sunrise, Sasuke had eventually decided to substitute joining her with teaching their eldest to hunt. Her husband was carrying a boar, looking slightly put out, while the boy next to him (he was tall for a nine year old) was decidedly unimpressed.

"Ooh!" Shou shifted off of his mother's lap and ran up to his brother. "Did you kill it? Did you, did you?"

Isamu had long since stopped rolling his eyes at his brother's antics, calm as he always was; he placed a hand on Shou's head, patting his crown in a similar manner to the way Sakura had once seen Itachi poke Sasuke's forehead.

"Father showed me how he once killed a boar," Isamu said evenly, his gaze on his mother. "I think he was lying."

Sakura chuckled as Sasuke frowned at their oldest son. "You're right," she said. "It was your Oji-san."

Isamu sighed heavily. "I thought so." He moved toward Sakura hugging his mother formally before stepping back. "Good morning Okā-san."

Very much like Itachi Uchiha, Isamu was a quiet, respectful boy. He'd even grown out his hair and wore it back in a low pony tail, like his late uncle always did. Unlike his father, he used the appropriate suffix, both in and out of his family. Sasuke had always been considered quite rude in the fact that he never did this, not even once. And unlike his younger brother, Isamu had activated his Sharingan. He was so much like his uncle also, in the fact that he'd mastered it at the age of eight. If he'd been able to enter the Konoha Academy, he'd have been hailed as the same level of genius.

"Isamu," Sasuke said. "Take the boar around the back of the house."

"Yes father."

The boy quickly did as he was told, moving with the speed and agility of Shinobi twice his age – Shou let out a "woah! I wanna learn how to do that!" and then bounded back over to his mother and started playing with his sister's foot, trying to gently wake her up.

Sasuke sat down in the chair next to Sakura and took her offered hand. "Are they actually coming this time?"

Sakura nodded. "Today's the day."

Shou stopped pulling on Misaki's foot and gazed up at his mother. "Today's the day for what?"

X X X

Naruto and Hinata had never visited this neck of the woods before. The land of tea had been good to Kitsúne, and after their separation, had harboured Sakura and Sasuke without anyone realising (except for Hinata and Naruto). It felt right that they'd built their home on the stretch bordering the two countries.

As predicted, Naruto and Hinata arrived without a procession, even as highly connected as they were, and Hinata spent the day reminiscing with Sakura and informing Sasuke of all the political changes (he was more interested in that than his old friends) that were giving them another opportunity to return to Konoha. Meanwhile, Naruto was on guard the entire time, since Isamu saw him as a worthy sparring partner and would attack him without warning, while Shou treated him like a clown.

It was around lunch time that a pouting Naruto finally snapped. "Oi! I'll have you know I am Hokage!"

Shou just laughed. "Yeah, right!"

Hinata giggled and sat down next to Sakura rather elegantly for a pregnant woman. "Like father like son – Shou thinks Naruto's a joke as well."

"Father doesn't think Naruto-San is a joke," Isamu said, not lifting his eyes from his book. "He merely believes him to be beneath him in skill."

"So does Shou," Sasuke added, not hiding the cheek in his voice.

"What is this?" Naruto wailed. "Pick on the Hokage day?"

"You gotta be Hokage first!" Shou screamed back.

The bickering continued… and Misaki slept peacefully through the entire thing.

X X X

The weeks had gone by quickly, with Sakura hearing from Hinata about her newborn baby boy, not to mention how the last of the disgruntled leaf council members had finally been deposed.

"It's time," Sasuke said. "Are you packed?"

Sakura nodded, lifting Misaki into the bjorn as she fussed. The last of their heavier belongings had already been carted away by movers and they were living on bare necessities. She was ready to finally face the music, so to speak. They'd returned to Konoha before today, having experienced the court trials that allowed their removal from the bingo book, not to mention S rank status. It had been completely erased from all documentation. But at the time, they hadn't been allowed to return permanently, with the council and the daimyo refusing to budge on that. Tsunade had stepped down from Hokage once she was sure Naruto would get the position, and this opened the way for Sasuke and Sakura to return, along with their children.

Konoha did not yet know what it was about to inherit – Sakura was excited at the prospect of seeing Isamu showing up all the academy students, not to mention prove more than a lot of the adults could handle. Shou of course, she was wary about – his tendency to disrupt others and lie about his abilities was going to be… interesting. But Sasuke assured her he'd spoken to him about this: "Uchiha do not brag to those beneath them."

It wasn't what she'd wanted, but it was all he was going to give.

Sakura hummed softly as they walked, making the already sleepy infant in her arms giggle before drifting off. Sasuke held her hand the entire time, Isamu spent the walk just reading (though his parents knew very well he was watching everything that was going on around him regardless), and Shou found himself utterly fascinated by every inch of flora he laid his gleaming dark eyes on.

And Sakura wouldn't trade them for anything – not even being able to turn back time, and return to Konoha earlier. There were still lingering feelings of regret over leaving Naruto in the forest that day, and not being on the leaf squad that finally tracked down Orochimaru, but nothing compared to the family she had now.

The sight of Konoha made her nostalgic.

The faces that greeted them, the arms that embraced her; Sakura let go of her regret. She didn't have anything to be ashamed of. She shared a knowing smirk with Sasuke. They were finally home.

Chapters covered: 245 - 262 Thirty-one Volume of the manga / 2nd Volume Naruto Shippuden

Site used: https://manga4life.com/manga/Naruto (VIZ translation of the manga)

Disclaimer: This is intended as a list and simple observations of the topics that particularly interested me in the aforementioned chapters, in that sense, do not expect a linear -or totally deep- analysis.

Tumblr’s update doesn’t allow me to attach more than 10 pictures, therefore, all of them will be LINKED. Apologies.

649) I’m guessing since this arc is Naruto’s reintroduction after a few years the reader needs to be reminded of Naruto’s importance to others but it gets annoying after the fourth time another character spends four pages remembering how good guy he is.

650) With a total of nine members (eight in the fingers of the Gedo Mazo, plus either Deidara or Sasori who is outside the panel), it takes Akatsuki three days to seal the one tail inside the statue (here’s a better view of the number of members). The only one whose absence is mentioned is Orochimaru. Zetsu seems the only one capable (or at least asked to), move one of his physical beings while maintaining his ethereal connection with the sealing of Shinkaku. Ichibi’s chakra seems to be red, like Kurama’s.

651) Kisame is mentioned to have the largest amount of chakra, to use “that Jutsu”. It’s unclear if Kisame has the largest amount of all of them or the largest amount in comparison to Itachi (plus them being the closest by since their objective was likely Naruto). It’s established that Naruto, Kakashi, and Team Guy fought two pawns to which they each gave them 30% of their chakra. The copy’s strength is determined by how much chakra of the original they’re given.

Kisame was able to use multiple water-jutsu-based attacks and create three water clones, trapping most of Guy’s team in the process with only 30% of his strength (not to mention Neji mentioned Kisame had a similar amount of chakra to Naruto when Kurama induced during the Chünin Exams). Itachi had more difficulties when against Kakashi. Regardless, they gave up thirty percent of their chakra and controlled their copies whilst sealing Kinkaku.

652) Team Guy must be the fastest and the cell with the quickest reflexes out of all K11, the three youngest members were able to deflect Kisame’s attack (Lee), push him away (Neji), and throw a bomb at him (Tenten) in mere seconds.

653) Akatsuki’s reason for waiting almost three years to move: Sealing bijuus requires “preparation”, it’s mentioned that this is when sealing a bijuu inside a human’s body, the Gedo Mazo doesn’t look human so the setback seems strange, is there a little hint at Kaguya already? Sakura knows about the nine tails yet doesn’t know what a bijuu is? It’s established that the tailed beasts are top-secret, so Sakura just knew about the existence of Kurama, not Ichibi or the rest (x). Naruto also didn’t seem to know the quantity of bijuus across the world.

654) The Gedo Mazo opens its eyes when receiving bijuu’s chakra. Each complete eye means a specific tailed beast has been trapped inside the statue. There’re two bijuus already sealed when Gaara is brought in (x).

655) Sakura doesn’t know how Itachi looks nor notices any resemblance with Sasuke, apparently (x). Itachi doesn’t seem to know Sakura’s name (x) there’s truly no reason for him to; he knew Kakashi’s as they met before he fled Konoha and Naruto was his main objective, Sakura was just Sasuke’s teammate and he never showed interest in that knowledge. He seems to learn each of the names at some point, tho (x)

656) Sharingan-induced regular genjutsu can’t be broken similarly to a regular (non-doujutsu invoked) genjutsu can: For starters, you need at least another person with you to either disturb the victim’s chakra and release them from the illusion, either that or physically harm them to awaken them. In Itachi’s case, his Mangekyou Sharingan-induced genjutsu (Tsukuyomi), simply can’t be broken by anyone other than Itachi. According to Jiraiya, to break free from a Genjutsu (genjutsu being a technique that controls the enemy’s chakra flowing through their cranial nerves) you need to disturb or stop your chakra.

657) Kakashi knows about Itachi’s loss of eyesight, it’s implied that the reason he knows is because he’s been using Obito’s MS and lost some of his eyesight too.

658) Itachi is so proficient in Genjutsu that he can cast it through his finger (x), Naruto didn’t even realize he was in a Genjutsu until Itachi made it clear.

It’s interesting how Naruto dreams of each of his friends/comrades and how it reflects their dynamic: Sasuke wants to kill him = lack of acknowledgment / Sakura’s illusion is subjected to her desire for Sasuke = broken promise / Kakashi calls him a disappointment = couldn’t protect his friends, and Gaara speaks about how unfair it is that only Naruto gets to be happy = couldn’t reach him.

659) Genjutsu (regardless of its origin) can’t affect shadow doppelgangers (x).

660) Okay, what does Sakura exactly know then? (x). She read Tsunade’s reports, knows about Kurama but doesn’t know about bijuus or what a Jinchuuriki is despite knowing about Naruto’s nature as a vessel for the fox; how come she can’t connect the dots? Naruto also doesn’t seem to know why he is a Jinchuriki (x, x), so what did Jiraiya teach him, exactly, besides Rasengan? Sakura’s concern about the injustice Naruto faces is to take Kurama out of him (x), to seal a bijuu there needs to be a sealing jutsu with a power equal to that of the tailed beast (x) and no one can survive bijuu extraction.

All jinchuurikis are created before the former host’s death, so it is likely that they all just… decide on a time of death, a successor, and they kill the prior host by extracting the bijuu.

It’s touching how Sakura cries for Naruto in this scene.

661) Naruto doesn’t seem affected by having killed Itachi’s vessel (x), I wonder if he killed before this.

662) Chiyo was the one who created the Seal that sealed Shukaku inside Gaara. The seal seems to be faulty, or the merge incompatible, as Shukaku tortured Gaara constantly through his mind (previous post) - (next post)

I'm sorry for being so MIA on here, guys! I think I've said it before, but I have a bad habit of forgetting I have a tumblr until I go to update one of my stories 😅

Anyway, I'm happy to say that after 2 years of it going untouched, I'm finally feeling inspired to write the last chapter of With Friends Like These. I've written half the chapter in the past week, and I'm hoping to get it finished and posted within the next two 😁

Here's the first scene of the chapter given to you early, since it's been so terribly long:

Sasuke runs faster than he’s run in his entire life.

The soles of his shoes slap loudly against the stone floor, the sound bouncing and ricocheting off the walls of the narrow corridor. There’s a sharp, stabbing pain in his side, in the space between his ribs, but he ignores it and pushes forward despite the lack of oxygen he’s managing to pull through his lungs. Despite his pounding heart, a part of it still screaming at him to turn around and go back.

Back to where Kakashi is fighting—his extreme skill and experience rendered practically useless against the likes of Obito Uchiha. There’s no way Kakashi can hope to best him, not without Sasuke to back him up.

He's going to die.

Sasuke bites the inside of his mouth, hard enough to taste blood. He wishes, just for this moment, that he could go back to when he was seventeen—back to when he didn’t care about anyone except his brother. It would be easier, that way. It would hurt so much less.

Sasuke owes Kakashi so much—for everything he’s done for him. But Sasuke has always been selfish, and so once again, he chooses Itachi. He’s always chosen Itachi over everyone else, even when Itachi hasn’t chosen him.

I’m sorry, Sasuke thinks. And prays, by some miracle, that his sensei survives.

He forces the guilt away—shoves it somewhere deep down in his chest where it can no longer influence thoughts and decisions. Instead he focuses on the desperate pull in his chest that is somehow guiding him. The one that’s blaring his brother’s name at him like a siren—

Itachi, Itachi, Itachi, Itachi—

Something has happened. Itachi is hurt somewhere, is dying, and Sasuke can’t explain how he knows this but right now he doesn’t care. All that matters is reaching him.

Sasuke refuses to lose him again. He can’t.

He skids sharply around the corner as he reaches the end of the hallway. He catches a flash of blonde hair and blue eyes widening, but he’s running too fast to stop himself in time—he collides with the person in front of him, a brutal smack followed by a surprised yelp, and both of them are knocked to the floor.

Sasuke catches himself on his elbows, wincing as the impact reverberates through his entire body. He blinks his vision clear.

Deidara is on the ground across from him, also blinking and grimacing in pain. “Ow! What the hell, man? Watch where you’re going!” He glances down at his arm, which got scraped up by the fall and is now bleeding sluggishly. He looks back up at Sasuke with a glare. “Look what you did!”

He shoves his bleeding elbow into Sasuke’s face. Sasuke shoves it away. “Where’s Itachi?” he demands.

The other Akatsuki member scowls at him. “'I’m so sorry, Deidara, for knocking you over. Are you alri—‘”

“Just tell me where he is! The two of you went off together to find Konan!”

“Yeah, and we split off from each other! Like I want to spend anymore time than necessary with that asshole! Seriously, what the hell—”

With a scowl, Sasuke pushes himself to his feet. He ignores the new soreness throughout his body. “Which direction did he go in?”

Deidara looks ready to snap at him again, but he looks at him and something on Sasuke’s face must give away the seriousness of the situation. The indignation flickers, replaced by uncertainty and concern.

“Why? What's happened?”

“I don’t know, but he’s hurt—badly, I think.”

Deidara pushes himself off the floor, wincing slightly and brushing off his black and red cloak. “How do you know?”

“I just do. Which direction?”

Deidara looks unhappy with that answer. Most likely he assumes Sasuke is lying and not wanting to explain, rather than the truth that he genuinely has no idea how he knows. He just does. But Deidara presses his lips into a thin line and nods.

“Alright. Come on, this way. We’ll find him.”

They turn around and begin going in the direction that Deidara just came from. They don’t run, like Sasuke was earlier, and Sasuke has to bite down on the desperation that makes him want to snap at the other man to hurry the fuck up. But they’re walking at a quick, urgent pace, Deidara’s longer legs causing his paces to be bigger than Sasuke’s. Sasuke is forced into something near to a jog.

“What happened to you?” Deidara asks.

Sasuke frowns. “What?”

“Your clothes—they’re ripped. They weren’t before, so it’s not from fighting with Sasori. Did you fight someone else?”

Observant of him. Sasuke clenches his jaw. “Obito knows.”

Deidara’s mouth drops open, panic in his eyes as he jerks to a halt. “What? Oh fuck—”

“Which is why we need to find my brother now! Okay? Because Obito knows he’s a traitor—he knows you are, too—”

“Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck. This is all your fault, Uchiha. You��ve dragged me into your shit—"

“Me? You’re the one that attacked Hidan!”

“You killed him!”

“Because of you—!”

Sasuke cuts himself off as they round the corner. His breath leaves him, a sharp, choked gasp sucked through his teeth. His feet come to an abrupt halt as the blood in his veins turns to ice.

Beside him, Deidara freezes as well. Eyes wide. “Shit. Is that…?”

Deidara’s eyes are locked in the center of the room, where a broken, misshapen shape is barely visible in the dark. It’s Kakuzu, his body so shredded and disfigured that he’s barely recognizable. A bloody heap of flesh, surrounded by scorch marks and discarded weapons that tell tale of a battle.

But Sasuke—

Sasuke looks right past the sight. His eyes are on another body, a bit further into the room and more to the left. His Sharingan swirls to life, allowing him to see clearer in the darkness. Dark hair—purple, bloody fingernails against the gray stone floor—

Itachi.

It takes a second for him to fly across the room, for him to fall to his knees by his brother’s side. Something thick and wet immediately soaks through the fabric of his pants—blood, from the deep wound that’s sliced through his brother’s chest. The metallic, coppery scent is heavy in the air.

“Nii-san,” Sasuke says. “Nii-san!”

Itachi’s face is deathly pale. He doesn’t respond to Sasuke’s voice. Sasuke’s hands shake, his heart hammering painfully against his ribs, as he pulls the ripped fabric of the Akatsuki cloak back to get a better look at where the blood is all coming from.

He remembers two fingers against his forehead. Dragging a line of wet blood down his face.

(Forgive me, Sasuke. But this is it.)

No. No, no, no, no.

He’s on his side. One of his arms stretched out, fingers smearing blood against the floor, like he was trying to drag himself forward. Sasuke shifts his brother’s body slightly, his head lolling against Sasuke’s folded knees. There’s blood on his lips, and it makes another spark of panic go off in Sasuke’s chest.

Deidara drops down next to him. “God. Is he dead? Who did this to him? Kakuzu?”

There’s actually a thread of something close to fear in the blonde’s voice. Curious, considering how many times he’s expressed a desire to kill Itachi himself. Deidara cares, despite how vehemently he denies it, and any other time Sasuke would never let it go without comment—but right now it barely registers.

His trembling fingers shove Itachi’s hair aside to press against his neck. He finds a pulse there—slightly too slow, but undeniable proof of life.

Sasuke releases a breath. “He’s alive. For now. Help me stop the bleeding.”

“With what?” Deidara demands. “I don’t carry a medical kit with me! Fuck, fuck, fuck—"

“Shut up,” Sasuke snaps. Deidara’s panic is only making his worse. The momentary relief that Itachi is alive is quick to fade, the previous fear returning as he takes stock of the situation—of Itachi’s injuries, probably too serious for them to treat even with the proper supplies.

Sasuke strips off his Akatsuki cloak. He balls it up and presses it to Itachi’s chest in a pathetic attempt to stem the blood flow. “Who here knows medical ninjutsu? Anyone?”

Deidara grimaces. “Sasori.”

“That’s all?”

“It’s not usually an issue! Konan knows a bit of battlefield surgery, I think—Leader-sama, too—but this might be too much even for that. And we still don’t know if Ane-san’s managed to get him on our side, so he might be trying to kill us too…”

Great, Sasuke thinks. The only person with the capability to possibly save Itachi’s life in time is the same person that Itachi kicked through one of Sasuke’s portals less than half an hour ago.

He takes a breath. Looking down at his brother and resisting the urge to flinch at the blood on his lips. Unless Itachi bit his tongue or sliced the inside of his mouth on his teeth, that blood meant internal bleeding. Likely a punctured lung.

He brushes the bangs from Itachi’s face. “It’s okay,” he says shakily. “You’re going to be okay. I won’t let you die again, I promise.”

He turns his head to look at Deidara.

“I’m going to retrieve Sasori. I need you to stay here with him while I do.”

Deidara’s mouth drops open. “Wh—Me? No way!”

“It’ll only take a few minutes. I’ll be right back.”

“But what if he dies?!”

“Then make sure he doesn’t!” Sasuke yells back. Leaving his brother is the last thing he wants to do—but unless Sasuke can get him help, there’ll be no saving him. All Sasuke will be able to do is sit here and hold his hand while his life slowly fades away.

No. Itachi will live this time. He has to.

Deidara grimaces. He looks down at Itachi’s bleeding body, then back to Sasuke. “Okay, okay, fine! Just—hurry the hell back, you brat!”

Sasuke slides out from under his brother. His bloodstained hands, holding the wadded-up cloak tightly against Itachi’s chest, are replaced by Deidara’s. He stands up, pushing his hair out of his face and the rings in his left eye whirling as the power activates.

A portal opens up in mid-air. Beyond, Sasuke can see miles upon miles of desert—the same plane of existence where he trapped Sasori. Taking one last glance at Itachi, sending up a prayer, he steps through the portal and leaves the two of them an entire dimension away.

His feet land in the sand. The portal closes behind him.

I'm putting this out to vent because I need it laid out, especially since it's pretty obvious from the Naruto opinions blog which side they're on. That blog has had so much Sasuke fandom hate that legit has no basis to it. It feels like legit lies, and it attacks our fanbase, particularly, which I find nefarious. To talk about a fanbase and claim it to he racist without any sort of receipts is a humongous accusation and I have half a mind to want to report if not for the fact that I know Tumblr won't do anything about it...perhaps I will. Idk. But this accusation is not an opinion. It's an accusation and if you clearly have met someone like this, someone who has racist takes then perhaps you should report them instead of putting it on a blog that claims to be an opinions blog and generalize an entire fandom or a portion of them to be like this. We are not racist. I know many POC and black fans of Sasuke, and nobody I know has ever thought, claimed this sort of accusation and opinion on Killer Bee. Hell, this opinion of Bee being an aggressive black man has got no basis in the manga/anime! He is the most chill black man there is! If anyone said this, they would literally laugh!

EDIT: After writing this, I decided to report that post. It's literally a libel post against the Sasuke fandom. There is literally no basis to it and OP wants to pretend it's an opinion about general experience. If you got a bad experience be more specific and what's more report them or call them out. It's really that simple! Everybody's experience is not the same but to make a general statement that bottles almost half the fandom as "racist" just because of one or two bad experience is literally... defaming the fandom! I'm sorry it is!

As a POC, and when you say something like that, do you have any idea how unsafe, hurt, and angry can make some people participating in the fandom? You don't put something like that and call it an opinion because it's not. It's an accusation verging on defamation against a group of people just because you had what one or two bad experiences with people.

I've had some bad experiences with people in other fandoms. You're not gonna hear me claim that a fandom is this or half the fandom is this just because of that one or two experience! I'd be attacking an entire fandom that way with an accusation that had nothing to do with them

This post is NOT the only post that has been accusing and posting lies about the Sasuke fandom. It literally mocks the Sasuke fandom for rightfully being angry. You can check the blog right now. It's the most recent post on its blog.

Right after the moderator of said blog posts that it won't be putting any more replies because it's gotten "heated"

Because God forbid someone is angry at you for posting libel and calling it an "opinion".

I mean, omg, you got pushback for literally stating that there's a group in a certain fandom that is racist and think "oh this is just gossip?"Oh, I'm just saying my opinion or talking about an experience and saying yeah the entire fandom is that way."

And the negative Sasuke posts keep coming because I looked back at it again, and there's clearly an anon there with an agenda against the Sasuke fandom. And nowhere there is a defense against this. The other side apparently has no say on this blog. And by other side, I mean the Sasuke fandom. OP closed replies because it got heated.

and tbh there's rarely a positive post about any of the Naruto characters, certainly not Sasuke, in a blog that is called the " Naruto General Opinions" blog. What is so general about this blog? It seems to side heavily on one opinion over the other. Right after posting a negative Sasuke fandom post that accuses the fandom of racism, anti-blackness, and micro-aggressions of black people with the baseless claim that Sasuke stans say that Killer Bee is an aggressive black man which I have seen that absolutely no where and even the claim of Killer Bee has no support in the manga so why would anyone say that? But right after posting that, they won't be putting any sort of heated replies because, again, people got anger, why? This person posts about Sasuke "bad decisions" as if characters aren't allowed that, and we all gotta stand perfect characters who do pretty much nothing.

Basically, we should all stand Hinata since you don't get a more inoffensive character than that, right?

Also what is anon talking about? You think we're angry at people criticizing Sasuke's decisions. People have been criticizing Sasuke's decision since day on. Hell the post creates another falsehood about why Sasuke stans are angry.

Y'all called us racist and anti-black. As a POC, Idk whether to laugh or be angry at such baseless claims and I'd again rant about why but I've probably repeated myself a number of times on why I feel like that post is nothing more than libel especially since OP wants to pretend that it's an opinion of an experience that a number of times could've been much more clearer but isn't, and defame an entire fanbase as that way.

OP wants to pretend they care about safe-spaces but they do not. Their lack of clarification and the majority of their anon posts of "general Naruto opinions" being basically negative, not just to the Sasuke community but to many character fanbases such as Sakura, Hinata, Naruto etc tells you everything. And it's the fanbases that are generally attacked and mocked. Never anything about the characters.

OP has a post pinning Sakura and Hinata against each other...

Is it any wonder people think the Naruto fandom is so toxic?

In writing this vent, I relooked at the blog and found yeah I agree with some of the takes the blog has but as a Sasuke fan who feels very attacked, especially when a majority of posts about Sasuke are negative in a blog that claims to be about general opinions of Naruto, I can't help but sympathize with Sakura and Hinata fandoms and any other fandom that has been criticized. How ostracized they must feel when there's a blog claiming to be about general opinions of Naruto, but it's about them...

Like opinions are not...general. A majority of us don't share the same opinions. We're all different and we absorb and express content in different way. While annoyance and irritation of how some people absorb and express content is valid, it's quite something else to post these opinions in a blog that claims to represent the general Naruto fanbase.

And even if the majority do feel the same way...is it fair for the minority to be excluded? Is it fair to have one blog be the space of "opinions," especially when the majority are nothing more than toxic angry anti takes

And again, some of these anti takes, I do agree on...but I'm going to be honest, I will never reblog from them because no way do I think my opinion is just a general opinion especially when it excludes a group of people in the fandom who may not agree. I will reblog from blogs that have similar opinions to mine and backs them up with evidence.

If you have these sorts of opinions, post it on your own blog. A general opinion blog is honestly not necessary...it's clear everyone has different opinions about different things... I mean...it's Tumblr. Unless sourced and backed up by proof, it's just an opinion.

But opinions can be hurtful and verge on to seemingly defamatory when opinions feel like falsehoods, especially when it's not backed by proof. I've looked, and many others have looked to see where this claim of Killer Bee being an aggressive black man comes from, and...it's nowhere!? And OP will not ask or show proof because apparently it's an "opinion about an experience.". If you're gonna put baseless accuations of opinions there, I'm gonna tell you what that's called. It's called libel. Spoken, it would be slander. And all of it is just defamation against an entire fanbase who likes a character you don't like.

And as the moderator of that blog, which frankly I find them questionable and toxic in many ways, they have a responsibility to ask for clarification because spreading lies about a certain fandom base is not right. It's not. Clearly, the blog is very biased, but it verges on harassment and abuse and a hate campaign against an entire fanbase of a character they don't like.

Like I don't think I'm over-inflating, this becomes I personally feel like my character has been attacked by this. I don't write metas or analysis. I've been thinking about it... but it almost feels like both OP and Anon want to silence an entire fanbase because they just don't agree, and they do so with this slander!

This isn't just about the Sasuke fanbase. This is also about every fanbase in the Naruto community. Racism is serious so if an accusation is made, we have a responsibility to answer it and separate ourselves from that or at least if we've engaged in such behavior, to better ourselves for other members in the larger Naruto fandom.

This is just a rant I needed to get out, but I'm deciding to take action. I've had some friends that have been hurt and have seen some defamatory statements online about the Sasuke fanbase and I will no longer stand idolly by. It's one thing to insult and criticize my character, you are entitled to your opinion, but when someone is attacking my character for liking a character they don't like, expect some pushback.

I came into the Naruto fandom because I like Naruto, the manga, and anime. I didn't come in to be harassed for liking a character you don't like. Feel free to rant about it on your own blog, but the moment you spread lies, especially on a blog that claims to be a blog about "general naruto opinions"is the moment I can't stay silent about this.

Okay, I'm gonna end my rant here. I've wasted enough time thinking and writing this, but I mean it when I said, I've had enough when lies start coming into the picture.

EDIT 2: I've decided to take out screenshots because I'm unsure if I should put screenshots. It could be wrong or taken wrong.

#god I want to go on but seriously his post pissed me off a lot #just the exact nerve to put such a stupid claim and to say it was a group in the Sasuke fandom #i don't agree with everyone in the Sasuke fandom but I have not seen the behavior OP claims #anti Sasuke haters #how much time do you gotta waste spreading lies and spouting hate on a fanbase of a character you don't like #why exactly do you waste time talking about a character you don't like?#i mean seriously? do you just want to hate #is your life so bad that Sasuke is your punching and now his fandom is too #also now I'm relooking at the anti Sakura posts too #the amount of that is pheneomenal and in a blog that claims itself to be a general Naruto opinions blog #there are a lot of Sakura fans #your opinion is not general #even if a majority believed it the minority shouldn't be excluded #post your own opinion in your own blog #but if you lie expect pushback #give us the reciepts #anti haters #write in your own fucking blog #libel #defamation #slander #i can't stand lies #i'm sorry I'm bad at tagging this #this is just an extension of my rant #naruto fandom
