[madaraservingcunt]

a better ending for Naruto: Shippuden than the actual ending is what if Sasuke died sacrificing himself to save the world alongside Kaguya. Sasuke's sacrifice also revives Neji, Madara, Itachi, Obito, and those nameless samurai ppl from the five kage summit arc and them sasuke haters on reddit can finally shut the fuck up and be satisfied with him dying (eh, i do not hate sasuke or anything but i'm fine with him dying because he's in the way of the great Naruto X Madara ship and I also want to make Sakura suffer because I hate her). Then after mourning Sasuke's death Naruto decides to marry Madara Uchiha, become hokage, and start actually fucking fixing the shinobi system starting with getting rid of those stupid Chūnin Selection Exams, restoring the rain village like he promised konan, and banning slavery in the hyuga clan. Sakura is a stupid bitch who is too busy being a cook at some restaurant spending the rest of her life being a miserable sad bitch who gave up being a ninja because her bad boy crush died and everyone tells her to stop whining and get back in the kitchen because i hate her. Naruto is such a giga chad alpha male hero protagonist of the Konoha village he also ends up marrying more men like Ryu from Street Fighter and Jin Kazama from Tekken who join his harem. They join Madara in giving Naruto all the love and respect after Naruto suffered so much in life. One day, Madara finds out he is pregnant with Naruto's child. Madara is a male hermaphrodite who has a vagina thanks to Indra's chakra. Naruto would be a such loving husband satisfying Madara's cravings for ramen, rubbing his massive pregnant tummy, and feeling their child kicking inside of his pregnant belly. Naruto would hold Madara's hand as Madara keeps pushing giving birth to the hokage Naruto's child. Itachi and Obito would also get harem of bitches and have lots of children, starting a large family. Itachi, Madara, and Obito fufill Sasuke's dying wish of restoring the Uchiha clan. Both Jin and Ryu also end up pregnant with Naruto's babies and give the firstborn more siblings (let's say Jin Kazama is also a male hermaphrodite who has a vagina because he has the Devil Gene). Madara and Naruto's kids would be broken as fuck think about it - rinnegan, healing factors, wood style jutsu, sharingan, Perfect Susanoo, large chakra reserves, Rasengan, shadow clone jutsu. Yes, their son would be so powerful he can beat goku, saitama, unicron, galactus, the one above all, the presence, rimuru tempest, gojo, Anos Voldigoad, bill cipher and can easily one shot all of the stupid lame boruto villains like delta or eida - truly I don't think any anime character stronger than naruto and madara's son. their kid will also not be an unlikable badly written brat asshole unlike fucking burrito and their kid will be grateful for his giga chad daddy naruto's existence. adult naruto will look more like his father minato instead of the ugly ass design he got in boruto. yes this ending would be a million times better than the abomination that is boruto and chapter 700.

Hiiii 🥰 If yin HAD to choose some couples for the Next Gen which one would you choose? Personally I think Shikatema was a okay, but I don’t have any ideas for the others

Hi!~💕 Oh uhm-

No one really, I'd be happy to eradicate it all.

Obviously Naruto and Sasuke should've figured their shit out. Both internally and externally and then say; take it or leave it' to the entire village and system. You either going to get two gay-men leading the village and a new system because their bond was the entire answer against war or nothing at all and then just... die ig while Naruto sleeps his years away and Sasuke is stuck in a damn tree 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Otherwise.... (aka, 'Boruto' meetings be like;) Shitpost (don't take me seriously);

Naruto and Gaara although it probably won't last long. Naruto'd probably settle for some black-haired girl and make her cut her hair so it reminds him of Sasuke if he squints really hard and doesn't think about it and covers his ears, oh wait-

Charasuke and Dark Naruto, fem version. Menma and Zetsu. Since non of it is Canon anyway, Sasuke and his pet lizard from the filler story. They seemed to have an 'okay' connection, yeah? Well, ShikaTema is fine, it's understandable and predicted. I don't even know who Kiba, Shino, Lee or Choji are with lmao. I can look it up, but... I really don't even remember :') I think one of them is with the Kumo girl, right? Sai and Kumo girl would've been better though. They can argue about loyalty and stuff. Wouldn't she kinda think it was hot how he stopped her fist from plunging into Naruto's 'refusing to talk about Sasuke's face?' That's the extend of their development, but it's 'Boruto', the bar is low here. Or.. if we ignore the homophobia for a second, Sai and Gaara. I mean whatever. Size matters obviously to Sai and Gaara had huge bde before his questionable haircut (no I don't think him becoming Kazekage made him weak) and I also don't think Gaara's lack of expressive emotion currently would be too overwhelming for someone that doesn't understand them much. Not a lot of energy in that relationship though but Gaara is very beautiful to draw let's be honest but the lack of eyebrow does make it challenging. Or Sai and Deidara. A bit difficult because one isn't there, but still, just throwing it out there. Or even Kankuro would be good. Gosh, Sai has so many options... and then he ended up with someone he thought was ugly ;-; (Ino is very beautiful though so he's wrong, but still.) Idk, I think Kiba should've married a cat-girl or the blonde one from Kumo. Lee should be with someone that appreciates effort especially now that his effort is proven absolutely worthless -.- and is seen as a loser again which destroyed the poor guy. Well, I wouldn't have minded Tenten, but... GaaLee 👌👀? Aren't they both single fathers? Or? Idk. Maybe Sai Gaara and Lee together, why not. Throw the Shi guy from Kumo in there also, he kinda looks like blonde Sai. Even Naruto thought he was handsome as he used him for inspiration for his sexy reversed harem Jutsu.  Actually, Tenten and Kotetsu would've been a good surprise. It makes no sense Canon-wise and I don't think it even works age-wise, but I approve otherwise and they're both weaponized. I rhyme and reason. Ino and Suigetsu. Okay, hear me out. He can water all her plants. That's all, that's it. Sakura and Kankuro? I mean, by 'Boruto's low standards, they could've made it work and they'd even have history. And fine, even Sasori could've been interesting a little. Or that girl from the Sound from the beginning. Or the guy. Or Kimimaro. Or Kabuto. We're not too difficult here, pick one, but I guess some are dead though. Everyone but Sasuke ffs. Obviously Neji should've lived. Well I'm okay with Tenten or even Lee, but it doesn't make too much sense to me. Actually, let's ship him with Haku for no other reason than them looking good together. Or Neji and Juugo, maybe Juugo'd be able to set the bird free iykwim. I'd say Hinata and her beloved 'Oro-chan'. (Yes she called him that in some novel.) Both creepy as hell. Except one of them is somewhat likable and it ain't Hinata. But age-wise that doesn't work. Or, maybe someone can make her a Mecha Naruto, that's a bit more appropriate. Not much, but still. I'm sure she has the money and I don't think she really minds because she knows Naruto as much as she'd know a robot version of him. I see no difference there. OR, Kankuro's puppet. That way she can always walk next to the one she 'loves' as it follows her anyway with some basic puppet training and have the sentimental wood around for comfort when she reminisces about the time she thought Naruto wasn't gay. No need to be shy either as it doesn't say much. Then Naruto can visit tree-Sasuke in peace without a creepy face glancing up at him from behind it only to be ignored anyway. 

Or maybe a lousy Daimyo because we can't have any less than a Hero or royalty for the princess, of course. CHOJI ACTUALLY should've married the daughter from the ramen stand. Idk her age though.. Or the owner of the BBQ restaurant? If he didn't already. Or, it would've been good if there was a younger version of Tsunade, I think they'd get along. Akamaru and one of Kakashi's dogs- sorry, Ninken. I think Pakkun is too old maybe. Idk what he's into. Maybe Punpun? Am I missing anyone? Oh lmao, Shino ;-; He would've been good with Fu, Jinchuriki of the 7-tails, the flying bug thing. Guess that's not possible either, but we can't have them single and focussing on the world either so... we gotta create imaginary filler babies somehow. Karin with that other guy who emphasized with her during her confession-thing. I mean, what other reason do you need. That's true love right there.  Kakashi and Shizune? Kakashi and Iruka? Kakashi and Gai? Kakashi and Genma? Kakashi and Obit- oh no. Kakashi and secret-ANBU waifu? Kakashi and actress of the movie adaptation of his ero-novel? Kakashi living his best aro life?

I mean, we could always create a card game if you will and match whatever comes up first. There'd be no difference really.

[tired-biscuit]

kiba really mellowed with age—so did naruto, actually. those genins were feral little freaks!!!!

i agree, the older kiba got, the more chill he turned (and also super mega extra ugly in boruto jdjdjdjdj); there’s definitely a huge difference in how he acts between og naruto and shippuden. and then in the last era timeskip too!! he’s just way friendlier with everyone and sooo handsome :3

tho i feel like he’d still be able to make you cry if you pissed him off no matter what age. like he’s way more patient, sure, but his temper can only go so far, ya know? i feel like he’d be so happy to find any reason to get into a fight, idk it just feels very him djsjsjhd

ALSO KID NARUTO WAS SO MEAN TBH, TRULY UNHINGED!!!!!! THAT BOY NEEDS TO SIT HIS ASS DOWN ON THE SWING™️ AND THINK REAL HARD ABOUT HIS ACTIONS!!!!!!!!

[watermelonsloth]

Speedrunning My Thoughts on the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Designs Before I Make a Long Post on Sarada's

Boruto's design is the definition of unnecessary visual noise. He has three layers, two necklaces, one fingerless glove, two belts, a sword strapped to his hip, and a bunch of pins all to tell us very little about his character. It tells us he got really into pins and still admires Sasuke. Maybe this will change as we learn more about how he's changed, but only time will tell. I like how his color palette has stayed the same and how the purple around his sword is a subtle nod to Sasuke. While it doesn't look like something a ninja from Naruto/Shippuden would wear, it's pretty consistent with what shinobi wear in Boruto. Out of all of the designs, I think I like how this one looks visually the best, but I am bothered by just how much it reminds me of Sasuke. There's a difference between inspiration and copying.

Why does Mitsuki's design look so different? At first I thought it was to change to better match Kawaki since Mitsuki thinks he's his "sun," but Mitsuki never looked all that much like Boruto before and there were other ways for him to resemble Kawaki without upturning his entire design. I can't say much in regards to his color palette without an official one out, but I really hope they didn't trade out all of his blues for black. His outfit overall is pretty weak visually, but I don't exactly hate it. I just hate that it's on Mitsuki. At least the belts on someone's design are finally doing something.

Finally a design that looks like the natural progression of his last design. It's mostly fine and the only real complaint I have is how baggy it is, but it's not like it looks out of character for Kawaki. Plus, Kawaki doesn't see himself as a ninja so what does he care about dressing like one.

Same problem with Mitsuki, it looks nothing like her old design and I can't begin to explain why. I think that the look itself is growing on me, but it should've stayed a civilian design because it doesn't really look protective. Also, her hair looks really awkward, especially in the image here. I hope that as Ikemoto gets more used to drawing her, it improves.

ChouChou's design is in character and looks cute, but it also looks god-awful for battle, especially considering her combat style. I wish it was more balanced in that regard. I wish Ikemoto was better at drawing spiked hair, but the hairstyle itself is cute.

I'm just gonna do Shikadai and Inojin together. Shikadai's design is boring and doesn't resemble his old one, but I'm fine with it otherwise. Inojin's design is the worst(among the ones listed here). It doesn't resemble his old design, I'm upset they got rid of his ponytail, it's incredibly boring to look at, it's butt-ugly, and the only thing it tells me about his character is that he shouldn't be allowed to dress himself(really? the child of Ino can't dress?).

This is the only design I'm okay with being impractical because Sumire isn't a combative ninja. It's another design that continues the last and it looks nice. I just wish that her skirt was longer and her hair was less awkward, but I have very little faith considering it's Ikemoto who's drawing the manga(I do have faith the anime will solve these problems though).

As for everyone else, I don't really care. Eida still looks good, Shikamaru's design looks better than his last but it still doesn't work with his Naruto/Shippuden designs, and both Code and Konohamaru look dumber than ever.

[sagemoderocklee]

omg let’s go choose violence multiples of three 🔥

3. ANSWERED

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

lotta them are but def S/S and N/H for me.

i think n*r*gaa is annoying but like the actual fandom has toned down some or maybe i just been out of it so long i never have to see anything from them. though i still think its annoying whenever the fandom does stupid lil 'gaara is jealous of sasuke' jokes. annoyin as hell and completely disregards the way gaara empathized with sasuke--even if kishimoto couldn't commit to that more strongly. but hey no one is important unless they can be used to prop up the MC, and god forbid anyone but naruto feel anything for sasuke i guess. not like the whole thing with gaara and sasuke in classic was that gaara saw himself in sasuke... like rlly fuckin sucks what we coulda had there

9. worst part of canon

god there's so much that's bad but definitely the Otsutsuki. gotta be my least fave thing. zero foreshadowing because it was just a gimmick for boruto.

also ch 700 sucks and doesnt exist to me

12. ANSWERED

15. that one thing you see in fanart all the time

gonna assume this is meant negatively but uh besides the obvious blushing gaara shit also the orientalist designs that are out there. like gaara in these fake ass belly dancer type costumes. ugly and racist as hell. like if you wanna put Gaara in clothes from SWANA regions then do the fucking research. dont just throw shit together. you cant culture vulture your way to a diverse cast of characters

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

bitch i dont know >< uh... yeah i got nuthin

21. part of canon you think is overhyped

lmao most of it but definitely Madara

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

a*3

if someone wants to give their money to a site that hosts cp, racist fics, silences pro-Palestine volunteers, treats volunteers like shit and ignores the volunteers of color experiencing racism then imma block and move on with my day. and if someone wants to align themselves with ppl who send messages to the effect of "lol because of this im donating $100 to a*3" to mostly Black bloggers seeking mutual aid who happen to be critical of said site... well thats on them too. these ppl are one step away from callin Black ppl slurs but sure it's more important to protect this site from so-called censorship (it's actually just moderation, but go off with that fake ass oppression)

you dont get to call somethin art and then not criticize it and the spaces it inhabits. real literature is criticized, so if fanfic is held up to that standard then it and the spaces it exists in should be criticized--and in general any community space needs to be held to a standard, but hey that's askin mostly white ppl to care about community. but like either its transformative and therefore warrants engagement on that level or its just for fun--and if its the latter, then youre still sayin its fine to have fun at the expense of others; its fine to disseminate works that maintain the status quo, and even encourage it. you cant 'representation matters' and 'fiction doesnt impact reality' a thing--the two are contradictory, only one can be true, and hint: it's not the latter--or the space it exists in.

also genuinely think its so disingenuous to act like ppl critical of that site are all doin it out of spite and to "ruin ppls fun" insteada because they want that space to be welcoming and better for everyone--safer. ppl pushin for change are tryna make it a place that doesnt cause harm, silencing that is so fuckin stupid

[empressthebee]

Why is it everyday I get on this app and look at the Sarada tag, it's like someone brand new just discovered Boruto.

Is Sarada dressed ridiculously? Yes. Is it likely to change soon? No

It is, what it is. The moral outrage did help somewhat because Sarada is more covered up in the timeskip, but now y'all complain the outfit is ugly.

Either accept it or move on. Writing dissertations about the function of her attire and if it makes her a good ninja is stupid.

People out her bringing the dead to life, sending people to different dimensions and fending of alien invasions.

Also, stop comparing 12 year old Sakura to 12 year old Sarada. Why? Because 12 year old Sarada would beat the snot out of 12 Sakura. Clearly, her more conservative attire wasn't helping her be a better ninja. She put that work in.

I swear it's enough now. Everyday Damn chapter it's more about the looks than story. Everyone looks ridiculous in Boruto.

[m1ckeyb3rry]

LMAOOOO FR Niko entering his mc era instead of pursuit boruto it’s just “the misadventures of Niko and prof aiku”

Wait I forgot about the manectric (I fr just scrolled and screenshotted the teams before the post the buried and lost forever because there’s no way im remembering that all Karasu DEFINITELY has beef with electric types now im crying somehow I envisioned lucario physically packing up steelix and like rolling it into a ball

HAHA wait Karasu either a little starly would be so cute though having his birds evolve through the story also as a marker of his development >>>

Joltik carrying the team from the minute it first enters its pokeball LMAO I bet the abusers are also like “lmao you brought a house spider to sweep up” and she’s like “yeah basically” wait HAHAHAHA I can just imagine it’s formatted like those goody episodes where we have one moment of screaming and running and immediately cut to spa moment cucumbers on the eyes face mask and the constant flipping between those vibes LMAOOO what that would be really fucking funny reader and otoya like that meme where the mom (Karasu) is scolding the child who’s on their knees like repenting and then the dad says something back then proceeds to sit his ass down and get his head bonked

It’s so ugly it’s actually scary even the Godzilla looking one that ended up on your 1k team I fr saw that and jaw dropped

Locking in…definitely locking in……haha…..ha…..

READER AND CO PAVING THE WAY FOR MODERN HAPPY POKEMON SOCIETY waitttttt ok so pursuit canon pokemon studios animation when Niko would def have a little zygarde cell (that’s what they’re called i forgot and was too lazy to look it up) LMFAO CHARLES GETTING NOTHING AHAHAHA true Charles with a legendary would mean chaos (if he did have one I can see it being hoopa)

Yeahhh ugh forced to use google suites so I can access files anywhere born to use Microsoft office smh

YESS will happily send in any references I find or make LOL

IT WAS SO HYPE I fr saw that and thought “omg the beginning of an era guys” PURSUIT WOOHOO so what I’m hearing is both hollyhock and peregrine will not reach pursuit length LMAOO

Also forgot to mention earlier don’t be shy feel free to yk just drop a little Karasu fic dw abt it….thank you to the person who requested the vague Karasu fic

- Karasu anon

LMAOO niko finally getting his time to shine after being relegated to sidekick/unpaid intern in oaeu 😭 niko + prof aiku is a LETHAL combo omg i can imagine it so vividly…dare i say niko is trying to complete the pokédex for aiku?? and that’s why he sets out on his journey and meets the rest of his crew???

one close combat from lucario and steelix is DONE FOR 😩 tbh i forgot abt the manectric too i only remembered because i went to check yuki’s team to see how karasu would stack up with his final team LMAOO there’s so many characters and teams i have to keep it organized w the notion and constantly reference back or else i’ll make mistakes

that’s what i was thinking like when we meet him he’s sassy cocky karasu with a bunch of baby birds (pidgey fletchling starly murkrow) and then as we go through the story and he gets more and more mature they begin to evolve and match his energy (maybe they haven’t evolved yet because karasu’s still in his baby crow era at first but by traveling w reader and co he turns into someone respectable and super trustworthy which is why the birds finally allow themselves to evolve…plus the quality of their battles goes from random gym trainers to team x, reader and co, mc trio, and other crazy situations so they have to evolve or fall behind yk)

joltik has BEEN slaying omg wait that arc could be the establishment of joltik dominance 🧐 like everyone including otoya underestimates it but reader’s like nah joltik’s got this and then surprisingly it actually did stand on business…what a goat 🤩 PLSSS i was imagine that one gordon ramsay meme where karasu with reader is like “shhh gorgeous oh dear oh dear it’s okay” like very gentle when reprimanding her (stressed but careful not to be mean) but with otoya it’s like “WHAT ARE YOU??? AN IDIOT SANDWICH”

wait charles w a hoopa is insane work especially because iirc pursuit charles has shidou as a mentor?? imagine shidou and hoopa interactions LMAOAO oh my god the nagiy/n daughter x charles wedding is even more chaotic because one the one hand we have like pokémon verse royalty in the form of reader and co + aiku + the old elite four and then on the other we just have a bunch of legendaries also running around (except yveltal who’s chilling w hydreigon at the buffet table)

HAHAH i think it’s so funny that the word count inflation is so great that we’re both like “yeah 80-100k nbd” like when i actually think abt it I’m like yo that’s lowkey really long actually but considering peregrine’s already at 30k ish and we still haven’t even shown him and reader together safe to say there’s def a bit of writing to be done before we reach the end!!

LMAOO thinking of pursuit karasu made me want to write him as a male lead again 🥹 he’s just sm more agreeable than nagi like nagi NEEDS a slowburn vs karasu cooperates with whatever trope i want from him he’s truly my goat for that…angst crack romance action WHATEVER he’s got it covered he’ll walk in ready to work 🤩 lowkey maybe i should write smth more serious for him…fwtkac and freaky friday were miraverse crack and bfb isn’t crack but it’s too normal LMAOO i want to make him suffer a bit

[kunoichihatake]

You know rewatching Avatar the last Airbender and Naruto it made me realize that Sasuke had kind of a Azula type mental breakdown and yet was treated a like a Zuko. Even though he did save the world, I never felt he redeemed himself mentally you know?

ooh yeah I totally get that. he didn’t recover and become a better person to the extent that Zuko did, and I’d love to see that growth maybe as Boruto goes on

thanks for participating in sleepover saturday! let me know if you guys want to do this again 🥰

[woman-child91]

i too am a Shikanaru fan and am watching Naruto for the first time i basicly know most of all the spoils because i had a lot of questions and needed answers when i was watching the og series im on shippuden now and i've just gotten to meet sai but thats not why im here im here because Naruto likes boys in a filler ep he said "ITS A DATE" to a boy and i recorded it because im insane also i will not explain

I love ShikaNaru. It’s probably amongst my Top 5 Naruto ships. Yup. Naruto definitely likes boys.

Oh! By the way, I advise you to stop watching Naruto Shippuden once you get to the episodes where Kakashi and Jiraiya are shown as little kids. I think it’s called Jiraiya & Kakashi.

Because, anything after that sucks. They make ALL the characters OOC and ugly as hell! They also take away all of Naruto’s cuteness both, in looks and personality.

They erase all of his bonds with the other boys except for Sasuke, Gaara and Shikamaru. But, still it isn’t worth watching. I actually watched ALL of Boruto and I hate the show so much!

It’s so, so, so bad! It actually made me hate my straight OTP and my favorite female character. And speaking of Sai?

He’s probably one of the gayest (not gay as in lame. But, as in gay gay.) characters in the anime. He falls for Naruto HARD! And I do mean hard.

That’s why I hate Naruto Gaiden and Boruto so much. They actually make every boy "straight" and specially Sai. They practically erase his entire memories of Naruto and just replace them with fake ones of Ino.

Naruto is the one who converted Sai. Yet, Sai keeps on saying it was Ino. He didn’t even like her. Near the very end of the series. They’re all put to sleep during a war and they’re dreaming about their deepest inner desires.

Sai dreams of being best friends with Naruto and everyone complimenting him on his smile. Naruto even hugs him and tells him that his smile is so cool and that he’s his best friend. Sai is really ecstatic about this and hugs Naruto back as he laughs from happiness.

Umm… after seeing this episode their ship was practically canon. But, everything after Jiraiya’s and Kakashi’s episode just sucks. I think it’s because, Kishimoto didn’t write it himself. Nope. He actually stopped writing after Sasuke’s and Naruto’s last fight.

I’d also advise you to just stop watching after Naruto Shippuden — Road To Ninja Movie. Unless you’re a NaruHina fan. I used to be one but, Boruto made me hate it and Hinata. Because, they make Hinata completely OOC. She acts more like Sakura now. But, much worse.

She actually threatens and scares poor Naruto whenever he’s home. It’s no wonder he’s almost never home and always working in his Hokage office.

[captnjacksparrow]

We know kishi messed up a lot during the war arc, but what do you think were the best and worst moments?

I think I can't able to answer this properly because most of the complaints from the Fandom were based on Power Scaling level and they were comparing it to DBZ.

Now.....

I've never read any Action Shonen other than Naruto... So, Personally as a neutral watcher... I have no problem in that power-scaling aspect... Or to be precise, I need the knowledge of other Shonen to compare and say what's wrong with Naruto.

Other than that, Kaguya nonsense is the absolute worst. Madara being the final Villain would've made it so enthralling... But since Boruto needed a plot thread, they introduced a villain with ugly design. Which is a given.

And some people say, Unnecessary flashbacks being introduced... Which I kinda agree. Like that flashback between Mifune and Hanzo is not at all needed... Kabuto's too.

And some people say, War needs Money and Man labour for Preparation, bla bla bla. Which is totally Hilarious, imo. Like Dude!!! Did Lord of the Rings or Avengers Infinity War had these kinda plots??? Didn't they just go to war without going into detail in any of these???

Why would they need these boring plot which has no relevance to Naruto anyway?? Fantasy Genre don't usually cover these aspects of war... If they want that, then they should go watch movies based on First and Second World war.

Other than that, rest of the complaints were based on their own Self-Projection or Prediction that didn't come true. Like hating Itachi + Sasuke arc because their UwU baby Sasuke got changed after listening to his Brother. Or Some people hate Tobito Reveal for genuine reasons.

So, I can't list out the worst things in War arc other than Kaguya plot.

As for the best things...

4. Madara - The Phenomena

Madara Toying with the Shinobi Alliance and The 5 Kages... 😂😂. [[Anime did a great job by adding these Amazing Jewel of a dance]]

Is there anything to not like this part of War Arc??? ((Tsunade, I am so sorry for liking him Toying with you and everyone... You are the Exception though, You truly stood up to him like a true Hokage... But I simply can't stop admiring his Aura))

3. Itachi - Sasuke arc...

Ever since Kabuto revealed that he was going to use Edo-Tensei on Itachi... I expected he would meet Sasuke again... But also, I knew that, this time for sure Sasuke has to say Good Bye for a Final Time...

Damn... I just couldn't. Poor Sasuke!!!

2. Tobito Reveal...

I was shell-shocked just like Kakashi. Because I got a mini-breakdown after Shippuden episode 120, an episode where Kid Obito died under the boulder saying, "I wish I could have more time with everyone"... I took a day off from my binge watch after this Flashback...

[[My reaction after realising Obito was Tobi]]

To think that such a pure bean has turned into a mass murderer is like a salted stab on my already damaged mind. Just when I was healing my mental wound I got from Itachi-Sasuke arc.... This reveal and Obito's descent into darkness sent me to a Rock Bottom Pit....

Just stop it already!!! Damn Kishimoto. I can't take it!!

1. Founders' Era Arc...

An Absolute stunner..

A Mental Refresher... After Back to back stabs... This Arc was much needed for my sanity...

Ever since, Sasuke-Sai Arc... I kept on hearing on and on about First Hokage and Madara.... Even Madara was pronouncing Hashi's name like a Cockatoo... My curiousity level got higher and higher by every episode.

But boy!!! It did deliver to the hype we received throughout the series...

I came into the series because of Hashirama and I ended up finding something which I wish it could've lasted longer...

I don't even want to come out of that Arc ((Hey Oro, If there's one thing you did useful in this series, it's by resurrecting these Hokages)).

Fun Fact : No one surpassed Madara in terms of his Power or Aura or Amount of Hair or Fame. Everyone became ugly, weak, bald and stupid.

I loved all these mini-arcs in the War Arc which absolved all the inconsistencies I saw towards the very end. Atleast this is what I felt as a neutral watcher with No Shounen Influence🤷🏻‍♀️

[limv3000]

I don’t know about y’all but I don’t exactly get Naruto and Hinata, Sasuke and Sakura’s relationship.

Naruto realized his feelings for Hinata in one movie. Literally after a whole goddamn show was about him chasing his ‘best friend’ and being willing to die for him. Yeah, Naruto cares about hinata and would risk his life for her too, but then again he would do that for anyone. If Hinata had left in OG Naruto, he would probably chase after her but for the sakes of Kiba and Shino. If y’all remember that time when he had to make Kurenai come back and be their Sensei, that’s the type of thing he would do with Hinata (in my opinion).

Even though Naruto had made a promise to get back Sasuke for Sakura, when she had called it off and told him to stop chasing, he still went for it, because he loves him. ALSO, let’s not forget when he literally had a mf heart attack because everyone was giving up on Sasuke. Naruto literally ignored and pushed away everyone just so he can get sasuke. He calls Sasuke his bestie and then forgets about Shikamaru, Choji like, even that annoys me. Shikamaru has literally never judged Naruto, ever. For Sasuke though it’s a different story.

I don’t think Naruto is gay for Sasuke, but Sasuke is gay for Naruto. Obviously I think Naruto loves Sasuke more that just a best friend though. Sasuke calls Naruto his first real friend, and I get that. After Itachi killed his clan, Sasuke was alone and Naruto was the only one who noticed it. In OG Naruto, Sakura had a crush on Sasuke because he was cool, smart, and handsome. She never actually knew who Sasuke was, or what happened. She literally was talking shit about an orphan in front of an orphan. No one does that. Sasuke has never even acknowledged any girls, only Naruto. He’s risked his life and goal for Naruto, he could’ve died knowing that he never got revenge, all for Naruto’s dumbass

I also don’t think Naruto ever had any true feelings for Sakura and was only jealous of Sasuke for getting so much attention. He was also yearning for attention and for someone to acknowledge him, and yeah after Sasuke had left Naruto still was asking Sakura in dates but I just think he simply got used to it. He sacrificed a lot for Sakura, and all for her to ignore and turn him down. Don’t get me wrong Sakura is an ok character, just not some of her choices and behaviors through out the show. Mf literally, accidentally called her ugly.

Now I’ve heard people say “Sasuke tried killing Naruto so many times though”…… it’s like they forgot that he’s tried killing Sakura, Kakashi, Karin, and the whole mf village. He tried killing Naruto because his bro Itachi said that it was necessary for him to gain the Mangekyo Sharingan, and apparently that was the only way to beat Itachi and kill him. He tried killing Sakura because she was in the way, and that she was ‘annoying’. He tried killing the Village because he wanted to avenge Itachi and yeah at that moment, Naruto was in the way and he was blinded by the fact he needed to avenge his clan and brother

People act like Sakura was the one who brought him back and knocked some mf sense into him, no she didn’t. Literally when Naruto and Sasuke had fought he seen Naruto, his memories, and everything about him. Sasuke had seen that Naruto has always had Sasuke in his heart, and he felt bad. He realized why Naruto did everything he did and why Sasuke meant so much to him, he cried when he realized that Naruto was actually a good friend and who were the only people to make Sasuke cry? Itachi and Naruto. Who was the most important person to Sasuke? Itachi. Who reminded Sasuke of Itachi? Naruto.

There’s is just so much things that don’t makes sense. Like, I honestly think they should’ve been together in the end. I think that they didn’t make Naruto like that is because

1) they wanted Boruto

2) fans would be angry and Naruto wouldn’t have been as popular

3) hate.

I honestly think that Hinata and Kiba would have been a great couple. They’ve had more chemistry, moments, and time together than Hinata and Naruto. I honestly don’t know what’s to say about Sasuke and Sakura, like what? He just came back and decided to love Sakura and have a kid? I think the only reason that SasSaku is cannon is because Sasuke wanted to revive the Uchiha clan. What other reason to love Sakura? I fr think that she should’ve at least have Rock-lee a chance. He was a gentleman and is always willing to protect Sakura. Also Neji shouldn’t have died, but that conversations for another time.

I think you all should share your opinions on this, and tell me what you think.

THIS IS NOT A NaruHina AND SasuSaku HATE POST

[mahoushojoe]

41 and 35 for the naruto asks? Also I think you're really cool.

AAAAA thank you so much!!! 🥺🥺🥺 thats super sweet BSBDJSJSJJS

35. favorite character quirk

gotta say that i love rock lee's whole deal, like the eyebrows, the way he talks, his challenges to himself, he's a really fun unique quirky character and it makes him really distinctive

41. rank all the hokage

1. tsunade: she doesnt even Want To Be Here but she still did a better job than all of these bozos. also girlboss and a #WomaninSTEM. extra points for spending years of her life with jiraiya, orochimaru, and fucking HIRUZEN for company and not deleting all of humanity. plus her backstory is really sad in relation to hokagehood. idk. i feel she did well considering how every world ending event ever happened under her watch

2. hashirama: hot himbo. he had good gay intentions with madara but unfortunately could not predict that his brother would be such a fucking cop about it

3. kakashi: similar to the situation with tsunade. props to him for handling the toneri otsutsuki situation with a lot more grace than i would have. 🤡 moments with his genin team and esp sasuke but we can make that minato's fault really

4. naruto: he's ugly now :( but at least he didnt commit genocide or put demons in babies so that makes him higher than everyone else below him. points docked for unleashing boruto on the world and also forgetting to end slavery

5. minato:

fucking stupid. put a fox demon in his infant child. #ItShouldHaveBeenKushina

6. hiruzen

the crustiest fucking old piece of shit. almost every problem, he had a hand in. the joe biden of naruto. acts like he's everyone's grandpa but helps manipulate 13 year old itachi into killing his entire clan, gives naruto the toddler monthly stipends, lets sasuke live in his genocided house, turns the other cheek on the WHOLE hyuga situation bc it benefits him (by sending neji's slave dad to die), let orochimaru create new definitions for war crimes, let jiraiya exist, the whole fucking danzo/root situation, the list goes on, FUCK you.

7. tobirama

the only reason hiruzen isnt at the bottom of this list. what a COP, my god, imagine being so racist your actions cause Every Single Conflict In The Show, -1000/10

this was surprisingly fun 😭😭😭😭😭 thank you for the asks!

[tired-biscuit]

I STG I BE SAYING THISSSS THEY RUINED KIBA IN BORUTO W THAT FAWK ASS HAIRLINE I BE SCREAMING AND CRYING 😭😭😭💔 i only imagine him in blank period cos jfc

(also hi biscuit im ur biggest lurker im always checkin ur blog cos kiba content scarce on here JDKSKS)

YES YES, i just need everyone to know that whenever i talk about kiba, i imagine him like he was in the last or with short hair cos boruto did him SO fucking dirty; like why did they have to ruin one of the hottest looking people in the squad with a hairline like that and a fucking V NECK AND SLIDES, IT’S A CRIME fjdjejdjd

like i get so embarrassed whenever i see that version of him, it’s like when you’re trying to show a pic of the man you’re talking to and he’s just so ugly in each one and you just gotta defend him in a way, going like, “i swear he looks better in person” LMFAO

also hiii, so nice to meet another kiba girly (gn) :3 i always get so excited whenever i get to interact with people who actually like him cos there’s like 6 of us in the club at best dhdhdhd

[hezuart]

That anaversary aizen looks absolutely fabulous, he looks like a figure skater xd.

I heard along time ago the last arc of the anime was being animated finally bc they pulled a 90s sailor moon were the last season was not either animated or dubbed untill decades later.

I recall near the end of the current 366 episodes there was an episode were the creapy demon ppl woke up in hell and we're all bitter, and there was the other guy who was like, iM cOmEiNg FoR u IChIgO, but then is never mentioned again after and I'm like,why? Why is lt there just plopted randomly into a different arc that seams unrelated.

And locking aizen up underground seems ok, but It deff won't hold, and he will. Escape, and he will kill, you either need that one spell from star, dubbed, the darkest spell of moon the undaunted, a powerfull dark spell that killed immortal beings, that came from best character, eclipsa, the queen of darkness.

We need that.

Or stick him I'm crystal like eclipsa was in star. Is there no one who could trap him in ice or crystal for all eternity.

How about throw him into the centre of a volcano trapped and caged , forverr being killed by heat?

I assume there's space travel, send I'm into a black whole, were a black whole don't fuckin care if your immortal or fat, you will die

:3

Yes, I love anniversary Aizen. His original octopus-butterfly hollow design was ugly so I'm glad he's back to being the fashion icon he is.

Locking Aizen up underground once is one thing, doing it twice after saying he got more powerful by just sitting there, and he escaped to battle the Quincy Soul King God... is another. I think he should have escaped at the end of the Quincy arc. That is the only feasibility.

I heard the anime is coming back for the Quincy arc as well, but because of COVID its probably going to be delayed. (I'm not gonna watch it until the Rain section of the arc then I'm dipping out. I'm only here for Zangetsu)

and funny that you mention that hell scene in the manga :)

-> spoilers for the new BLEACH 73 page anniversary chapter / thoughts/critique on it

So hey you had a premonition! Syazel .... returned? And his hole is outside of his body??? for some reason???

(I didn't understand the explanation or why / how that happens and what that means for the hollow)

And my friend and I were laughing because out of ALL the things. Kubo could do in this anniversary. He gave Syazel his dick back after going to hell. That is iconic. (that's where his hole was located, and now that its not on his body ... well...) This is the funniest thing Kubo has EVER pulled. Kudos to you, sir.

The entire internet is freaking out over Ukitake being in hell. Honestly Kubo has done far worse, and we've established that Soul Society is a corrupt system that hasn't changed, so I'm not surprised he would pull something like this.

At the same time, Kubo 1. cheated his audience. 2. continues to prove me right that he cannot bring himself to kill his characters

1. Hollows who have commit murder in their human life are sent to hell. Syazel and Aaorniero are two of these hollows, and yet, when they are killed, there is NO gates of hell scene. We see them there later in the hell chapter (which was more of a promotion for the fourth movie and I didn't believe it would hold any merit)

But the same goes for Ukitake. We never see the gates of hell take him. What, was hell late? Did hell's gates get lost like an uber before picking him up? It's bull. Withholding such vital information from your audience, not showing the gates of hell when they should pick up this soul IMMEDIATELY is ... I mean its a lie. Kubo lied to his audience.

2. Now we are told powerful shinigami are sent to hell when they die. First of all that sounds like a security threat. Wouldn't shinigami want revenge for that? Or attempt to escape? Why would they still hold loyalty after being sent to a prison of eternal suffering?

Also "Yhwach and Aizen" were the only ones keeping Hell's gates closed is way too convenient and doesn't really make any sense. I feel like Aizen should have deliberately gone to hell to retrieve powerful shinigami / hollows for his army instead of keeping it /closed/.

This is definitely a Kubo-doesn't-know-what-he's-doing-and-is -making- stuff-up-as-he-goes, but it might have a pinch of merit because of previous plot lines.... but either way, there's some big plot holes here, but again, its Kubo, so I expected nothing less.

Again, he can't kill off his characters. He introduced zombification, he introduced immortality through the hougyoku, he has Orihime and Hachigen's reversal / rejection abilities. He brought back Luppi, friggen.... a character who's entire upper half of his body was incinerated. Like.... come on. No. He's dead, you can't bring him back like that. That's a cop out and just weird. You're taking away consequences and grief.

(Also Yamamoto and Unohana deserve to be in hell far over Ukitake, they've done some fcked up stuff in their pasts unlike him)

Also Kubo's favorite character is Mayuri, which.... you're allowed to have a favorite problematic character. But Keeping said character alive and bared from the consequences of abusing his daughter, murdering innocents, and experimenting on your own squad members? Nah. Nope. Kill him, Kubo. Kill this dude.

(his weird attachment to Mayuri is probably why he keeps bringing Syazel back, since Syazel is Mayuri 2.0, but Syazel is the bad guy who does face consequences for his actions while Mayuri is not)

~

Also, I'm certain Kazui and Orihime are going to be THRILLED that their precious husband/dad is going to hell when he dies :)

(I just... Rukia teased Ichigo about leaving Orihime at home. She teased him about having a house wife who he leaves all the chores to. Orihime had two panels. She checks on her son who promised he would be at home and sleep. Kazui fcking breaks his promise like it never mattered to him and JUMPS out the window after pretending to sleep in front of his mother. ... An 8 year old... alone... in the middle of the night.)

Orihime is abandoned. She is not invited to SS, she is not informed of what is going on, her son leaves her.... I...

Orihime is a side character. She doesn't matter anymore. She hasn't mattered for a long, long time.

A part of me is glad she had little screen time, since she tends to waste it, but another part of me is embroiled with rage.

I've even see people try to defend this. "Orihime and Ichigo can't be together ALL the time, that's an unhealthy relationship!" and I'm like guys... that's not the point. The point is Orihime is not part of Ichigo's other life. Any shinigami stuff from now on is none of her business. She's going to stay at home while Kazui and Ichigo go off and save the world. Ichigo is going to be fighting by Rukia and Renji while Orihime watches from the sidelines, or worse, doesn't even know what is going on with her husband and son. Orihime is going to be uninformed and abandoned, because she has not proven she is capable of fighting by their sides(go on, @ me. I will fight this. She's a failure.), and also because she prefers a human life over a dead one. Which is ironic, because she married a dead man. Ichigo is a shinigami, and he will be one forever. god forbid she ever meets his Zanpaktou. She would tremble in fear at the monsters her husband harbors in his soul, especially when she realizes they don't care about her and would rather see her dead. (Zangetsu would absolutely kill Orihime. Not sure about Kazui, but Orihime has not accepted Zangetsu, she does not like either of them, and the feeling is assuredly mutual.) frick now I want to make a comic about this

Also still frustrated over Zangetsu's shikai / bankai regression. Kubo once again lied to his audience. Ichigo has no bankai. How ridiculous is that? The main character of BLEACH doesn't have a bankai. Insulting.

(RIP to Chad. He doesn't exist anymore. He's just gone. No mention, no cameo. Gone.)

Kazui is a demon child. That character from the novels? Hikone? They're the same character. Literally same personality, same power level. Its worse because Kazui is a liar. He constantly goes behind his parents' backs. He can summon creepy fish and creepy eyeballs and open portals like is ANYONE aware of this? How has SS not kidnapped Ichigo's son and experimented on him / locked away his powers yet? All substitute shinigami require a reiatsu controlling / spy badge to keep them in line. Where is Kazui's? Or is he just a weird fullbringer?

I was worried Kubo was gonna try and pull a knock off Boruto but luckily he kept the focus on Ichigo and the others. But that being said, Ichika and Kazui are now just... sort of there? Kazui was kinda just.... having his own adventure that doesn't matter to the plot at hand, and Ichika had some nice characterization at first but she just hid behind her dad the whole time.

I have a feeling Kazui is gonna step in at the last minute or do some major behind the scenes thing that indirectly interferes with the main plot so no one will realize how powerful and dangerous he actually is. Its sad because Ichika is the superior character in personality and likability, but she clearly is not going to have a bigger part in this.

Ichigo having a normal life after everything still feels extremely boring and uncomfortable to me. Everyone's like 'I'm still bLEACH!" but.... BLEACH just... doesn't feel like BLEACH anymore. It hasn't for a while now.

~~~

There's two new shinigami characters. Didn't care for the girl, but the Sign Language kid who talks to animals is adorable ... however... he just reminds me of Chad, and I just... it hurts knowing Chad has essentially been deleted. Chad and Orihime are officially benched. They have chosen the human world, and Orihime has given Ichigo his spawn so she has no more use/purpose to him anymore... ////sigh

~~~

Also. This is claimed to be a new "arc". So is the BLEACH manga coming back? What is happening. I thought Kubo was tired and didn't want to do BLEACH anymore. I thought Shounen Jump cut him off. People made so many excuses for Kubo and why the past two arcs have been so badly written the past 6 years and now almost everything they've attempted to defend him with has been revoked.

BLEACH is going to continue to screw up its plot lines and characters, so Its probably best for it to stay dead but I've seen a lot of Kubo stans drooling over this content, they're desperate for BLEACH's return, but its already given out all its possible revelations. There's really nothing else to top here. It's just going to make things up as it goes along ,and I'm not really here for half-assed writing like that, especially since the damage of rushing the previous manga has already been done. Kubo and Shounen Jump are riding off a money nostalgia. None of this was planned.

Honestly though.... overall feeling of this chapter, not as bad as it could have been.

Syazel stole the spotlight, and he's my friend's favorite character, so that's all that really matters.

[bushcloverprincess]

Let me explain Sai and Ino's love life to everyone who is still saying "I don't know how they ended up together": 💜

People really be jumping to Boruto series without knowing what has happened in the Naruto series after the war arc. So here is Sai and Ino's relationship throughout the entire Naruto canon timeline.

NARUTO SHIPPUDEN MANGA

First and foremost, Sai and Ino met in the very early episodes of Naruto Shippuden. Ino immediately had a crush on him because he was handsome, also noting that he looked like Sasuke. That is basically Ino, the flirty girl as we know. Having a crush and falling in love are two very different things.

Sai was introduced as a character with no emotions and feelings whatsoever. The reason why he thought Ino is "ugly" in their first interaction was because he didn't know what a real beauty is. He had no emotions/feelings, how do u expect him to understand beauty? Ironically, despite this, he called the opposite of what he thought at her, "Mrs. Beautiful" - building the foundation of SaiIno (Also Ino being the only person who didnt get insulted by Sai's nicknames.)

So, here Sai thought Ino was ugly and Ino had a crush on Sai solely because he was handsome. Two flaws, alright. Most of the fans know their relationship up to here. But that's not even close to the end of Sai and Ino's relationship before their marriage.

Moving on. As Sai and Ino are both side characters, they had almost no interactions on-screen afterwards in the manga, until the Fourth Shinobi War Arc. In the war, both Ino and Sai had each other in their Infinite Tsukyomi dreams. Ino dreamed of Sasuke and Sai fighting over her and Sai dreamed of Ino, along with his other close friends acknowledging his smile. (Sai's dream was in anime-only).

This proves that both have had interactions off-screen to the point that they were already very close friends before the war began. Morever, their Inifinte Tsukuyomi dreams reveal that by the war arc, Ino likes Sai as much as Sasuke (as she did not choose Sasuke over Sai in her ideal life/dream), and Sai likes Ino complimenting him.

During the long timeskip after the war Ino and Sai eventually starts dating. This was revealed in a spin-off manga chapter written in Akamaru's point of view by Kishimoto, where he spotted Sai and Ino together on a date and described them as "A couple totally on fire".

Around a decade later, in the very last chapter of the Naruto Shippuden manga (Chapter 700), they were shown married with a son together.

That's the end of Naruto manga contents for Sai and Ino's relationship, as expected not much because Naruto manga is NOT a romance manga.

BLANK PERIOD

Now, for those who wanted to know more about Sai and Ino's romance and the ship's further build up during the timeskip between the end of war and Boruto (Blank Period), there was a Novel series called Hiden. (Note: All Blank Period Hiden Novels are approved canon, illustrated and proof-read by Masashi Kishimoto, the author of the Manga himself). The Blank period is a part of the official canon timeline.

As mentioned above Novels are the stories of all the important events that took place during this blank period, including the romance between the characters. Get ready to hear one of the cutest love stories of Naruto series.

1- SHIKAMARU HIDEN NOVEL

Ino lost her crush on Sasuke long back and is pretty much not into any relationship. This was until in Shikamaru Hiden events, Ino read a letter which describes Sai's tragic life. Since then Ino wanted to know even more about him than she already does. Ino was sent on a mission with her fellow ninjas to help Shikamaru and save Sai, who has been caught in a very strong enslaving genjutsu by some enemies. Her top priority after reading the letter was nothing but to save Sai.

As they confronted the genjutsu-controlled Sai, for some reason Ino believed that she is the only person who could save Sai. Ino risked her life and used her Mind Transfer Jutsu on Sai, in other words, Ino's soul entered Sai's body. Ino dived deep into his mind but all she could see was darkness. She didn't give up and tried to find his soul by diving even deeper into his mind despite the fact that it could be a threat to her own soul too. Ino finally found Sai's soul crying deep inside, covered with his memories and darkness. Ino learnt about him (in the novel it says "She knew all about him so much that it hurt her"). Ino called out for him and showed his soul the path out of the darkness. Ino cleared his mind hence saving him from the genjutsu, also giving colors to his colorless soul. Ino's soul then hugged Sai's soul with a heartfelt smile ~ A hug between two souls.

This is the point where both of them fell deeply in love. The point Sai achieved his dream, the point where he got his emotions and feelings completely back. This is the first time he felt this much kindness from someone and learned what a true beauty is. When Sai is successfully saved by her, the two wake from Ino's jutsu and Sai finds himself resting on Ino's laps. Sai instinctively reaches for Ino's hands and he expresses his gratefulness to her, as her eyes begin to tear up, by affectionately calling her "Thankyou, Miss Beautiful". This time, he truly meaning this unlike the first time he called her beautiful. "Idiot" - replied Ino. And this time, Ino fell in love with Sai, not because he resembles Sasuke unlike the first time they met. This interaction was the complete opposite of the first time they met. This is how their love story began ladies and gentlemen. *Tears because how beautiful this is*

2- SAKURA HIDEN NOVEL

Later, while Ino and Sakura was on their way to Sand village to participate in an international Medical Ninja Conference, Ino reveals her love for Sai to Sakura after what happened. She was thinking of confessing her love to him properly but was unsure which flower to give him: Flower Dogwood or Lavender. Ino, the botanist explains that in Flower language, Dogwood means "Accept my feelings" while Lavender means "I'm waiting". Sakura tells that Ino was more of Flower Dogwood type, as she wants a direct answer from Sai. Whilst for Sakura herself, Lavender will be the best because she is willing to wait for Sasuke.

When they returned back to Konoha after the conference, Ino finds out Kakashi has sent Sai alone on a dangerous mission. Ino gets worried and questions his safety, and is angry that Kakashi let him go alone. After Sai returned and Sakura got kidnapped, Ino ran to Sai's place to inform him about Sakura's disappearance. When she arrives, she becomes flustered to see Sai only in his underwear, as he was taking a shower right before she came.

Following the crisis, Sai and Ino together goes on a mission alone to save Sakura upon Hokage's orders. They are the only couple besides Sakura and Sasuke who did a mission together alone in canon. Sai and Ino flew on a Choju Giga Bird, and Sai comforted Ino as she was afraid flying and had a difficulty maintaining the balance, causing her to feel a sweet warm sensation well up within her heart. They both together infiltrated a hideout. The Saiino duo's teamwork was amazing and flawless.

After Sakura is saved, they had to fight the enemies. Ino, who has been usually positioned near the back lines during close ranged combat situations was now instead supporting Sai with her taijutsu and healing Sai's injuries with her medical ninjutsu. Sai and Ino confronted a very powerful enemy, Magire who was drugged with Tailed Beast chakra, but their flawless teamwork and bond strength lead to their victory. Sakura, and Sai himself compliments Ino on how well she works together as a duo with Sai, getting Ino blush even more. Later Sakura prompted Ino and Sai to have a date dinner together, where Ino possibly confessed him with flower Dogwood and that is when they started dating.

3- KONOHA HIDEN NOVEL

As usual, Sakura and Ino keeps on fighting and competing, and now Ino takes a lot of pride with her blossoming relationship with Sai, claiming she has better love life than Sakura and that she will get married before her, much to Sakura's infuriation. After some days, Sai and Ino attended Naruto and Hinata's wedding ceremony as a dating couple holding hands, with everyone around them admiring their relationship. (Bonus: SaiIno is the only couple that was featured in The last opening of Naruto, Opening 20 (Karano Koroko).)

4- SASUKE SHINDEN: BOOK OF SUNRISE NOVEL

Later, after Ino was hospitalized due to the injuries she had after stopping an invasion, Sai was with her at the hospital all the time. Shikamaru and Chōji decide to visit Ino at the hospital and find that Sai is watching over her whilst she sleeps as he sketches a flower that Ino's mother brought her. Shikamaru and Chōji asks Sai to come with them for some investigation, but Sai remains, claiming that he will leave as soon as he has completed his drawing, however, Shikamaru notices several of Sai's already near-completed sketches in the trash as he exits. Sai intentionally made many half-complete drawings and discarded them before completion because he doesn't want to leave Ino. Shikamaru and Chōji realize that Sai did not want to leave Ino's side and begin discussing how much he has changed from the emotionless man he used to be after he met Ino.

Ino and Sai then got married, and had a wonderful wedding ceremony where Shikamaru and Choji were both so happy for Ino that they cried and wished their sensei, Asuma was there to see Ino. Sai and Ino's wedding ceremony is the only ceremony to have been mentioned after Hinata and Naruto's wedding. Well, that's the end of their relationship's details in the Blank Period Novels. Sweet, right?

NEW ERA: BORUTO ANIME, MANGA AND NOVELS

Sai, now married to Ino is the only male known to have taken his spouse's surname upon marriage, being now a part of the great Yamanaka Clan, finally having a family of his own. This family confronted gossips and prejudice from the villagers, and Ino's relationship with Sai was not well received by the Yamanaka Clan, all due to Sai's dark past in the currently disbanded Anbu Root. Despite all this, they managed to be as happy as ever. It is when he married to Ino and got to hold Inojin in his arms, Sai finally felt free and got control over his own life after years of being a puppet to Danzo.

As Boruto series is the story of the new generation, it's main focus from the Yamanaka Family is obviously Ino and Sai's son, Inojin Yamanaka. (Trivia: It is believed that Inojin's name is a mixture of Yamanaka Clan's customary name prefix "Ino" and the suffix "jin" is reference to Sai's late brother Shin). Sai has already told his son Inojin how his mother, Ino saved him with her shintenshin and how they fell in love, and Sai uses the same method (a hug or an affection) to calm Ino down when she gets upset or angry now. Boruto notes that Sai's only weakness is when it comes to Aunt Ino. According to Ino, Sai has never forgotten their anniversary throughout more than a decade they have been together. Although Ino remains as boisterous as ever, Sai is the sole person that gets Ino to fluster despite how angry or upset she is since beginning and even now.

According to Kakashi, Sai and Ino is the most beautiful couple he could imagine, and they both are so close that it seems they are glued to each other, noting that they are like a peculiar picture. Sai and Ino also often gets teased by their friends because how close and affectionate they are even in the public. Ino takes pride in Sai's ninja abilities and Sai takes pride and is proud of Ino's abilities. Ino is thankful that she moved on from Sasuke (Her childhood crush), because according to Boruto Manga, Ino now she feels bad for Sakura, whose husband, Sasuke visits her only very rarely, noting that she has been living such a perfect love-life that she cannot even imagine having a husband who is hardly at home. She is thankful for Sai, so is Sai for Ino. In one of the Boruto Novel it is stated about Ino:

"Because her husband was the one she knew was the best in the world" ~ 💜

SO,

I do not think this much of content, especially for a side-couple is less at all. It's more than enough, It's explained perfectly well. Only people who aren't having an idea on Naruto complete series will question or doubt SaiIno's relationship. So "Random couple", "Ino likes Sasuke because he looks like Sasuke", "Sai is a Sasuke rebound", "Ino lost to Sakura in love-life becuase she couldn't marry Sasuke" arguments are all total crap ~ 💕

AND FOR THOSE WHO SAYS SAI AND INO DOESN'T HAVE CHEMISTRY...

Sai was an emotionless and socially awkward boy who worked for the Root Section, meanwhile Ino was an emotional and lively sociable girl who works at a flower Shop, what else do you see other than the raging chemistry between this root and flower? The flower that baths in sunlight and the roots that grow in the dark! It has everything. They perfectly fits into the Yin (Sai) and Yang (Ino) philosophy Kishimoto seems to have considered when making the couples and friendships. As mentioned above Sai is the only man who can make Ino blush since beginning and even now! Ino had no problem with glomping on Sasuke and hugging him, but Sai calling her "Beautiful" makes her blush - See the difference? They both are perfect for each other. Ino gave colours to Sai's black & white life. Ino was a rainbow when Sai was colour blind. Not to mention they both wear crop-tops with exposed midriff. In addition Sai and Ino is the most affectionate couple who has shown most PDA (Public Display of Affection) content and closest moments together so far. I'd argue they have the most chemistry and couple symbolisms.

There, its done.

I hope its clear how they ended up together now 💕 So again, saying SaiIno is forced or random / Calling Sai a Sasuke Rebound / Saying Ino settled for Sai because she didn't get Sasuke as a plan B / Ino lost to Sakura in love life / Sai and Ino don't have chemistry- is making yourself a huge 🤡, actually an entire 🎪

Thankyou 💜

- Shikamaru and him have matching goatees. It’s a small competition to see who’s is better. They both insist it’s theirs. Shikamaru started it by saying he wanted one. Anthos told him it would be ugly, then also started growing one.

Shikadai insists they both look really stupid.
