#Wanting to be better(Shippuden)

[evilkitten3]

i really wish there was more young!sannin content... i just love them....

[jaguarys]

One thing I would absolutely never ever ever want to happen ever but routinely think about near daily is a live-action adaptation Naruto à la One Piece or Percy Jackson series that actually takes the time to flesh out and delve into All Of The Shit. It would never work or be done well and I do not want it but also it would perhaps be so very fun to dissect, and what else do we need honestly

[im-still-watching-anime]

man does anyone else just constantly forget neji died?? i was rewatching the war arc and got to it like HUH OH YEAH like i remember shikaku and inoichi more than him because i just didn’t like the writing for his and repressed it too much so now whenever i see any reference to it my brain blue screens for like 20 seconds straight

[moldy-flowers]

I love the scene in naruto shippuden where Kakashi says "I'm really starting to take a liking to you" not because naruto freaks the hell out but because this implies that for the other like 3 and a half years Naruro knew Kakashi and the 16 years Kakshi knew of Naruto Kakshi just did not like Naruto at all.

[historias-multorum]

@musedbyalli continuing from this.

"I know, but... We shouldn't give up so easily, Itachi-kun." Hinata replied. "There's got to be a way that we can help with your eyesight."

Naruto's determination had rubbed off on her greatly. She followed in the never give up! likeness. And it was true, she doesn't want to just surrender to the fact that Itachi may go blind, without trying every possible option.

"I-I'm sure, if we talk to Tsunade-sama, she could be able to help." She spoke up.

[norienoire]

looking back at the fandoms i was a part of a while ago feeling a sudden hit of nostalgia like damn

[ladsofsorrow24]

honestly it's a pity that post-shippuden and boruto after that didn't have some of the animators who're working on mid to late shippuden because those are the part where the animation truly shines...

[agoniesbehindhereyes]

I finally got to the arc where Gai fights Madara and we get to see his back story and I’m honestly a little bummed by it… I feel like they could’ve done a few things to make it better

Instead of Gai taking madras on all by himself we could have gotten a team up with Gai at 7 gates and Lee at 6 gates. Then after exhausting that this didn’t work Gai could step up and open the 8 gates.

This would have perfectly showcased the parallels Gai and Lee had growing up and would’ve been a great way to show how far Lee had come and how much he over came to also be considered a great shinobi. I feel like this would’ve been his perfect time in Shippuden to shine.

Also the fact that we never got a just Gai and Lee team up in the series is such a missed opportunity.

They also could’ve have showed the growth he had through his rivalry with Neji and it would’ve been a moment they could honor him.

Tenten should have been there. Writing her off was super lazy.

Also it would have been better if night Gai had caused more damage. Like Madara could’ve been trying to recover and just hanging on when Naruto came in and then encompassing the God tree is what gets Madara back up. This would have felt more rewarding. Instead it’s like, wow, Madara just healed himself instantly guess Gai sacrificed himself for nothing even though he wanted to do it for a purpose

I wish I could enjoy Naruto the way I used to...it wasn't my first anime but it was the most impressionable one! I got my own personal gripes with how the series went and where it is now :( but I think about that first arc in the land of waves a lot. I don't think even the anime I watch now can really compete with that...it was just so. Strong.. my brain goes crazy when I think about it and that's my model for a good introduction into the world your MC lives in and a way to set up themes

[syrasenturi]

I was thinking about catching up on boruto and earlier saw a video of Sasuke fighting an actual dinsoaur so I think I should

[zincbot]

i've perfected my technique. i have gotten through 275 episodes of naruto in 10 days

[evilkitten3]

having some thoughts on itachi and radicalization and how people can do the most horrific shit imaginable while fully believing it's the right thing to do and police states

♥︎ ♥︎ ♥︎ “You Belong to Me” ♥︎ ♥︎ ♥︎

・❥・ Synopsis ・❥・ Having an Uchiha as an ex doesn’t mean anything. Once you’ve managed to make them fall for you, you’re basically stuck with them for eternity.

・❥・ Pairing ・❥・ Sasuke x Fem!reader

・❥・ A/N ・❥・ I finally decided to continue watching shippuden after having it on pause for 5 years.. yeahhh so I’m having a huge obsession with it rn. Also please feel free to send prompt requests for me to write! And I feel like I definitely could have written this out better but I was in a rush and stressed out about Job interviews so mb

You finally gathered the courage within you to end your relationship with Sasuke. This wasn’t an easy decision. In fact it was tearing you apart. You still loved him. But the differences between your priorities and his were far too different to the point where they were conflicting with each other.

You might as well have been talking to a wall that day with how blank his expression was after you just announced how you were breaking up with him. The loud silence was killing you inside, does he not care at all?

♥︎

-You wanting to break up with him was like a jab at his ego. The Sasuke Uchiha. The last prodigy of his clan and you wanted to leave him? Though this enraged him, he refused to let you know it. He couldn’t let you have the satisfaction of knowing that this actually affected him.

-After you left the apartment he started to completely trash the place. Everything in it was obliterated into nothingness. But as soon as he went out in public he acted completely fine as if nothing happened.

-Anytime you were around he would make sure you saw him with other girls. He wanted to show you that he could be with anybody he desired without a problem, at any given second. Show you that you weren’t nothing special to him.

-He was lying. Because as soon as you left his vision he treated the girls like shit and pushed them aside after they served their purpose in making you jealous.

-He tried to sleep with random women in the village to further prove that he didn’t need you. (He was really just trying to convince himself) but he couldn’t bring himself to do so. None of them even compared to your beauty. Even the thought of another person lying on the bed you two once shared disgusted him.

-After weeks of this even Sasuke couldn’t believe his own facade. He craved you. He craved your smile, your laughter, Your touch. And is willing to do whatever it takes to remind you that you belong with him.

-He sucked up his pride and begged Naruto to send you two on missions together. So you’d be basically forced to talk to each other . (Naruto uses this against him every now and then)

-During one of the missions, one of your comrades decide to get a little touchy with you. You pay this no mind since you have no interest in the guy, but Sasuke definitely notices it. What’s a worthless ninja doing talking to what’s his?

-A couple of days after that mission, the scenario of another man getting that close to you haunted Sasuke day and night. There’s no way in hell you’d ever willingly decide to be with any other man but him. Right? He needed the reassurance and he needed it now.

-It was 4 am when you opened the door to your apartment after you were awoken by loud desperate banging on the door just to be faced with your ex. He invited himself in, closing the door behind him as he slowly crept towards you.

“Sasuke?”

-He reached for your hand and held it in his, as he focused on you as if there was nothing else in this world. You could tell he developed dark circles since the last time you saw him.

“The day we got together was the day I chose you to be the one I repopulate my clan with. The only one worthy of the surname Uchiha. You’re mine and I’m yours.”

-He noticed how you were at a loss of words so he took this moment to do what he’s been yearning to. He grabbed the back of your head pulling you into a kiss. The kiss was messy and desperate. He kissed you as if you were the oxygen he needed to breathe. And to him, you were.

-Needless to say you were vulnerable to his request and took him back. How could you not?

FOREVER TOGETHER

Kakashi Hatake x Reader

✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿

plot: you were the only person who understood Kakashi

A/N: this is my very first anime character story! thank you all for taking part in the voting period and choosing Kakashi! if any of you have any ideas for stories let me know, my requests are always open!

✯small warning of spoilers for shippuden

That mission took a toll on Kakashi. Minato was his master, the Yellow Flash, and he was too late to save Rin and Obito. You remember it vividly, there was a crash on your porch that night, scaring your mother half to death. It was only the two of you, and when you both sprung to check the door, there was Kakashi half awake and looked dead. Your mother knew to leave you two and made a pot of tea in the kitchen. Kakashi didn't speak for a long while, when he did, those tears fell fast from his face. Facing the deaths of his comrades and friends was nothing light for a ninja. 

“I couldn't do anything��� he had said to you, crying into your chest. “All I have is this stupid eye” 

“That eye…is what you can use to remember them,” you told him, lifting his face to see the eye that contained the Sharingan. “Fight with this eye, for Rin and Obito. What better way to remember them than to fight for what they taught you and gave you”

This was not the last night Kakashi came to your place, but it was the last he used the door. Kakashi would sneak into your room, already expecting him, you would open your arms for him to climb into. He would slide into your arms, holding you close, breathing in everything about you. He never pushed you away even though he worried you would die. He was always worried having people close would mean that they could die. You knew that having people close meant you were going to be stronger.

“Don't you dare push me away Hatake” you had yelled at him one day. You glared at him after catching up to him. He could see the anger in your eyes.

He had tried to avoid you all week, hoping you would let him go. He was so wrong. Kakashi was going to join the Anbu Black Ops. The Anbu tried to instill a sense of individuality and isolation in their soldiers, but it didn't work on Kakashi. 

“I couldn't push you away if I tried Y/N” Kakashi said, walking over to you. He put out his hand and the two of you continued walking around the village.

Soon after joining the Anbu Kakashi insisted on moving in together. After confirming that he couldn't live without you, and had failed at pushing you away he knew he had to do this. Guy had also pushed him into it, saying it was the only way.

"I am telling you Kakakshi, you love this girl," he said to Kakashi. They sat in both at one of the restaurants, Guy had practically dragged Kakashi inside. "You should tell her, stop dancing around it"

"I can't..." Kakashi told him, "What is she..."

"She loves you back," Guy said with a wink, "Don't worry about that part one bit"

Remarkably, Kakashi listened. 

“What?” you asked. Kakashi looked confused, even under the mask. 

“Move in with me…as my girlfriend,” he said hesitantly. You were dumbfounded, completely caught off guard.

“I…of course I will,” You said, “I never thought you would be the first to ask”

“Guy said I had to make a move. Told me to stop dancing around it and tell you” Kakashi said, his eyes were at his feat. He was embarrassed to tell you all this, afraid you would find it weak. You thought the opposite.

“Well thank you to Guy then!” you said throwing your arms around Kakashi. 

 Guy always teased the two of you, even before Kakashi started calling you his girlfriend and long after. He always knew he had some help in getting Kakashi to own up to the fact that he wanted you as his. 

“You two look great today” Guy would say, showing the two of you a thumbs up before dashing off. In his younger years, Kakashi and Guy had a heated rivalry, mostly one-sided. As they got older Kakashi started to recognize the rivalry and the friendship that came with it.

You found his antics to be hilarious, always bursting out in laughter whenever Guy was around. Your laughter has always been contagious, and soon Kakashi's students couldn't keep a straight face with you around. Sakura was always smiling at the two of you together, her ideas of love definitely were filed by you and Kakashis's relationship. Naruto however was your favorite, a goofball, and someone with more humor than yourself. 

Everyone could see how keeping you around was good for Kakashi. You helped him, in small and big ways. You were the only person who truly understood Kakashi. 

“You have always stood by my side” he had said to you on the day he became Hokage. He looked at you standing by his side, hand in hand. Matching rungs shone in the sunlight, and Kakashi's smile was more for you than for becoming Hokage.

“I always will,” you told him, squeezing his hand and telling him you wouldn't ever let go. It was the two of you taking on the world together. Forever by each other's sides.

@bxrninglegends​ (For Shikamaru)

“O-Oh! Good morning Shikamaru-kun.” Hinata gave a polite bow. “Are you here to get your missions as well?” She asked him. 

[irrevocably-delicious]

Over a year ago now, colourpop announced they were doing a collaboration with Naruto and I was so excited! As a fan of both, I was keen to see what they would do. Naruto, like all anime, has a bunch of cool and important colours that I thought would make for some interesting and rarely seen colour stories.

Unfortunately I didn't love what eventually came out.

I realise there's lots of different things at play here. I suspect they only had the rights to naruto, and nothing from shippuden. Which is why they use blue to represent sasuke, instead of purple. I think they focussed more on everyday user friendly colours, but I want to be a clown at all times. Also a BIG missed opportunity to appeal to the sasunaru girlies. We could have done completely separate pallets? Pallets for different clans? Villages? Could have been a lot of fun.

So l decided to take matters into my own hands and design something I felt represents Naruto a bit better, with colours that I assosciate strongly with the series. I couldn't decide between just a Naruto pallet or a sasunaru inspired one, so I tried my hand at both. This was a fun experiment and I definitely have things I would change now, like figuring out how to get the internal patterns to line up, but it was fun to do something more design-y.
