#hyuuga family bs

[evilkitten3]

this image lives in my mind rent free. there's so much here and i really wish the manga had gotten deeper into these two's deeply fucked up relationship bc it's fascinating.

according to wikipedia, yin (the black bit) represents the female/passive/negative principle in nature, while yang (the white part) represents the male/active/positive principle in nature. yin is covert, of the netherworld, the north side of a hill, the south bank of a river, the moon. yang is overt, belonging to this world, the south side of a hill, the north bank of a river, the sun. some other stuff too

the name hyuuga is written with the characters for "sun" and "approach", but the second character can also mean "defy". hinata's first name is just a different reading of the kanji of their surname (which is hilarious but that's not the point), but as a noun "hinata" means "sunny place" or "in the sun". i believe it's also been used to mean "the direction the sun is shining". with the reading "hyuuga", though, the same kanji is also an archaic noun meaning "facing (opposite) the sun". so hinata, the all-but-disowned heiress of the clan, is "a sunny place facing the sun" - both an undeniable part of her family, yet ostracized for her weakness.

neji's name means "screw", or it can refer to a key or a spring in like a watch or a clock or something. there's a few kanji it could be written in, but only one of them caught my eye - 螺旋 is a rarer way of writing "ねじ" (usually just written in hiragana afaik, tho neji the character's name is written in katakana) but the more common reading of 螺旋 is ら(螺)·せん - rasen. if you haven't already caught it, the kanji for rasengan is 螺旋丸­. that's not super relevant, just interesting. anyway, neji who "defies" the main family is one who "faces (opposes) the sun". but at the same time he's its strongest member (or. the one with the most potential. probably most of the jounin hyuuga were stronger than genin neji). so he's "a screw in the sun" - a fundamental piece of the machinery that it may not be able to function without, even if it can't be seen from the outside, like the inner workings of a clock.

idk where i'm going with this i just think these two are fascinating and i would've liked to seen more of them concerning one another

Naruto: the last movie and the weird contradictions/plot holes

Strange movie..

1- kage bunshin no jutsu?

Rewriting their meeting scene to add in the scarf plot and a little cute moment with chibi Naruto Implies that the academy teaches forbidden jutsu

or that Naruto stole the scroll earlier and learned the hand signals before the age of 12?

Rewriting their meeting is cheap altogether. Hinata wasn't bullied for having the byakugan, she only got picked on for a mistake, so why not make the backstory about the Hyuuga clan? Since the movie is about em and the byakugan?

Sticking more scenes with training isn't difficult, they could've had the scarf bs in other ways

2- genjutsu?

Naruto isn't immune to genjutsu, but Kurama is there to wake him up. In the movie he has to be woken up

3- Naruto being dumb?

Not understanding the difference between loving food and affection towards someone is extremely strange

This is the same dude who touched Zabuza with a speech on Haku, who knew that Sakura's love confession wasn't true, that understood how Sakura loved Sasuke from the start, who asked how their parents got together after knowing the mess of his birth and etc etc

Hes the last person to not know what love is or how it works

Biggest plot hole imo, he knows what the hell hes doing

4- deactivated Rinnegan?

I'd like to know in what world that happened before, and how it even works

5- the continuation of helpless Hinata

Which is not a plot hole but annoying. Shikamaru tells Naruto to take care of Hinata right at the start, which feels out of character even for him. I mean Hinata Is a whole ninja and she's 19 too? She has enough training and experience to know what the hell she's doing

Sakura threatening him if she leaves her in danger is also annoying, because she can take care of herself? She's not the strongest person in the leaf village but she's completely fine to do her ninja shit

She's only there to look cute┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

Not new

Runs in a spiderweb so he can help her, let's Naruto handle the rest, goes with the villain to rescue her sister and try to convince Toneri to stop destroying the earth but doesn't really put up a fight, knits this scarf over and over again in that outfit that just looks out of place

Talking about her outfit..

What is she doing like that ಥ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠ಥ girl it's cold, naruto is thicker pants and hoodie? He even tells her it's inappropriate wear at some point

Thank god for logic

The only time when she does put up a fight is to get away from the puppets that were just restraining her in place. Hinata could've done much more, especially with family on the line

The chakra flare still baffles me, haven't seen her do that before? Naruto seemed the only one able to share his chakra..?

6- the kages

Especially Gaara. Having such a mild reaction to blowing up the moon with Naruto and his team up there is just comedic

Gaara feels so much for Naruto, he's always ready to put a good word for him and he cares deeply for his wellbeing. He tries to shake Sasuke out of his mind, he has a speech before the war, his dream under the tsukoyomi was to be friends with him in childhood

And "Can you postpone for one hour?" In what world would he do that

the kages being all cool with sacrificing Naruto for the earth looks odd

Trying to blow up the moon is funny

7- earth moon entrance? Hidden entrance to the moon? Gravity is touched on in the war against Kaguya, what about that? No real explanation how everyone is suddenly cool doing everything. especially Hinata Who was up there the most

8- CHEESY, corny. Badly made

Listen I love a good romance more than the next person, but the ending just made me sigh

Is it meant to parallel Kushina and Minato's Moon scene? If yes, if failed miserably

It worked with them because it wasn't over the top, it worked because Kushina tried her best, it worked because Minato isn't an idiot about love and doesn't suddenly switch up to loving her

Idk man the whole of the bubble scene with their interactions is funny. There's some scenes from classic and shippuden, some from the movie itself and the rest is just their faces. You don't need allat I promise

Naruto being goofy cute whatever picking her up isn't awful actually. It was cute

Idek how to describe it but I wasn't impressed with this whole ass moon and the glitter(?) snow(?) whatever falling down

A little over the top, a little much

Wasn't expecting the best romance despite Kushina and Minato having a fine dynamic that isn't bland

This is where Naruto's hair care falls down. Rip we'll miss you a

[leportraitducadavre]

And people forget, even with the kage bird seal people STILL be stealing their eyes so what’s even the point of it if not to be a collar for their lesser branches?

I think this fandom unconsciously forgot about Ao's existence and what it entails for Hyuuga's main branch dogma. There're only two (maybe three) plausible posibilities about Ao's Byakugan (it might be mentioned on the manga or the Databook, I have access to none as of now to check).

1. Ao stole the doujutsu from someone on the Main Branch, confirming that this clan's bs of "protecting the Byakugan" is beyond idiotic as they became the specific target of those seeking this power. If they were to get the seal, they'll protect the Doujutsu far better, but if it's true that the seal restrains the Byakugan's capacity (as it apparently does), then that and the possibility of torture at the hands of their family is the sole reason they refuse to get sealed.

2. Ao stole the eye from a branch member before they died. To explain this family's stupidity further, the seal only destroys the eyes once the "vessel" dies (so it's likely that suicide is considered normal and encouraged during missions), before that, people can take away these doujutsu as they please as there's nothing that indicates the seal "senses danger" and destroys the eye before someone steals it. Main members are so smart!

3. There's a third plausible possibility, and it implies that one member of the family gave Ao their eye either because of a secret pact/treaty, an "honour" code, or if it was a branch member as a big fuck you to the Main Family, which is quite amusing to think about.

These people wanted slaves nothing more and nothing less, they need to accept this.

[animeomegas]

I think I have read through your blog in two days & I had an idea. In the au where Neji has his kid, I can imagine that the elder Hyuugas are going try & put the curse on the pup since Neji is from the lower branch. Neji doesn't want this to happen but is struggling to find a way out. Cue Alpha coming in, calm, "This is my pup. Theyre MY blood. They aren't pure Hyuuga. Touch them & I will rip your arms off." Alpha uses their own traditionalist bs to remove Neji & pup from their custody.

(yes, yes, yes, I love this so much!!!!)

Neji is never going to let his clan put that horrid, evil seal onto his child. Over his dead body. He’d sooner defect and become a missing nin and carve his owl seal off of his forehead. He would do anything for his child.

But he will exhaust every other option before that.

He’s been delaying and delaying, giving vague answers to the elders in the hope that he can find something, some loophole, or manage to get the tradition changed somehow. But the day is creeping closer and closer.

He ends up doing something drastic the night before his child is due to get the cursed seal. He puts a very mild poison into his child’s dinner, and he the guilt almost crushes him at what he’s doing, but it’s the only thing he can think of.

Neji sits awake in bed all night, waiting and listening. The second he hears crying he throws himself out of bed and into his child’s room. His child predictably has been sick, and Neji sits with his child while his alpha cleans everything up.

Neji rocks his poorly pup back to sleep, silent tears pouring down his face while he cradles them against his chest. They’re so big now. He thought he had more time to figure everything out, but the days had flown by.

Neji stays awake all night, tending to his feverish pup. He sends his alpha to tell the elders that his child is sick and can’t get the seal that day.

The elders, as expected, come to the house to see for themselves, but Neji’s pup still has a high fever and if that wasn’t convincing enough, stressed by the situation, Neji’s pup is sick on one of the elder’s shoes. They agree that they will reschedule the ceremony for next week so that the pup can recover first.

It takes everything Neji has to keep himself together after they leave, but he knows that breaking down will only distress his already sick pup. His alpha notices and immediately comes to sit with him, their arm around his waist as a grounding presence.

He has five days to figure something out.

If he can’t, then the sixth day will involve him and his whole family becoming missing nin and traitors to Konoha.

On day three, Neji’s alpha has an idea.

They’re technically from a clan, too. A small one, but a clan, nonetheless.

With equal parts desperation and hope, both Neji and his alpha scour through all the records held by the alpha’s clan, particularly from when the clan was more powerful a century ago.

And they find something. A clan law that existed back when the clan was very alpha-centric. The law stated that any clan omega that was married outside of the clan would be no longer considered part of the clan, but instead part of whatever family they married into. Any can alphas who married omegas outside of the clan would need the omega to revoke any previous allegiances and become a full member of the alpha’s clan instead.

A key part of the rule was that other clans had signed and agreed to uphold the law, including the Aburame, the Uchiha and the Inuzuka. Meaning that it had enough power to stand against the Hyuuga.

According to this law, Neji and by proxy your child, were required to relinquish their status as Hyuuga and instead become part of your clan. Neji agrees instantly, quietly and secretly moving any valuable from your home into your old clan house that had been empty while you lived with Neji and going through the ceremony to become part of your clan.

Neji had never been more relieved, and when your pup was down for their nap, he burst into relieved tears and sobbed into his alpha’s arms for a full hour. All the stress was just too much for him and now he could breathe.

Neji was too nervous to set foot back into the Hyyuga compound, especially with his pup, just in case they tried anything. He sent a message via a second party in which he revealed what had happened, and that since neither he nor his pup were Hyuuga anymore, they would not be attending the ceremony or any further ceremonies.

The Hyuuga predictably are furious. They turn up to their house, first. Neji's alpha threatens them all away while Neji protects their pup inside the house, ready and poised for a physical fight.

They end up appealing directly to the Hokage, but nothing comes of it. The clan law was just as valid as their clan law and protected by other major clans in the village.

Neji doesn’t let his alpha or pup leave the house during this battle, just in case, but when the Hyuuga officially give up, he’s over the moon. There isn’t much he can do about his own seal (which the Hyuugas are not allowed to use because he now belongs to another clan), but he managed to save the most important person in the world, his pup.

[iooiu]

how do you feel about neji in the akatsuki au? does he stay in konoha and put up with the hyuuga bs or does he leave and rock that akatsuki cloak?

half of neji’s personality is the pride he has for his clan, yeah? i feel like defecting from the hyuuga, let alone konoha, would be going against his nature. the whole clan mentality is kind of messed up, but when you think about it the whole system of being loyal to your people is what keeps konoha running. 

i personally don’t think neji would leave, but solely because his pride as a hyuuga wouldn’t let him, ya know?

BUT ALSO i rlly badly wanna see like, hinata and neji get along just by spending more time together, and not by some outsider party forcing them to get long (especially on neji’s part). i need those family hyuuga feels, and having the two of them talk out their feelings and realize their positions don’t have to pit them against each other. honestly i just yearn for hyuuga feels.....

[depressedhatakekakashi]

🔥The Sakura vs Hinata war-

and also the weird focus (hate) on Hinata being a housewife 😂😭

As a stay at home parent, i would politely like to slap anyone who bad mouths Hinata for being a stay at home parent.

1) Hinata was never a fighter

2) Hinata is not the only one who retired from Shinobi life. Choji gets zero shit for retiring but it's a crime against everything holy that Hinata did even though she was equally a pacifist as Choji?

3) BEING A STAY AT HOME PARENT IS NOT EASY AND I'M GOING TO NEED LITTERALLY EVERYONE WHO THINKS IT IS TO SIT THEIR ASS DOWN AND STFU. the job is 24/7. There is not not being a stay at home parent, there is no breaks, there is no 'oh someone else can do the job'. Ya you might have a bit of time without the kids because someone else is taking care of them but there are 500 other jobs to do so you're lucky if you get a bit of time to yourself to do things you genuinly enjoy. And god forbid you do. I feel terrible for being on tumblr or writing fic (even though i still do it) because that's time i could be cleaning, making food, taking care of baby. Like...legit this is a full time job.

As for the Sakura Vs Hinata bs

It's just that. BS. It's one side deciding what makes a 'good woman' and completely ignoring the fact that women come in all shapes and sizes and those differences should be celebrated instead of shit on. there are legit criticisms to make for both girls (Hinata does have a position of power over Neji because she's first family and he's second. She does not act like it and refers to Neji as 'big brother' even though he tells her not to, but it still exists. on the other side, Sakura is a very abusive character in canon who constantly hits her teammates)

Hinata and Sakura are completly diffrent personalities

they legit share nothing about fighting style, personality, life situation or anything. everything about them is diffrent and that is what makes them both interesting characters

the only reason anyone shits on one in favour of the other is because they have this dumb need to prove that THEIR fav is better than the other and it's just childish.

Hinata is a kind, dedicated girl who wants to help people and hates fighting. She came from a family with power but was also emotionally abused by her father for her entire life and was replaced in his eyes by her younger sister when it was obviouse she would not be a strong leader. If it weren't for her marriage with Naruto and the 'changes' (i say loosely cuz we don't actually see shit change) to the Hyuuga clan, Hinata would have been branded and her children would have been as well.

On the other side

Sakura is a stubborn, strong willed woman whose willing to stand up a fight, has no problem fighting, but is also a dedicated healer. She was bullied as a kid but otherwise had a good life. Her parents don't abuse her in any way as far as we know, she had Ino's support as a kid to help her gain confidence, and she became the most powerful woman of her generation.

these are two beautiful interesting women who both got done dirty by Kishi's writing in one way or another but have no competion against each other. Heck, canonly they like each other. why TF is anyone pitting them against eachother?

[gayninjas]

(1/2) Okay so I'm still new to Naruto so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Also, this is long. I'm sorry. I'll split it.😅

Out of the K12 kids, Naruto, Sasuke and Neji were fucked over by Konoha (either by their clans, the old man hokage or the villagers). I'd include Rock Lee but I think he was just bullied as a small kid for being... weird? or not having chakra?? And he worked super hard and that didn't last long.

Anyway, I've read plenty of reviews about how the series ended poorly and how messages like "you can change your fate" were disregarded. That the the Naruto franchise would've done better staying an actiony, ninja shonen that focused more on changing the shinobi system instead of turning into the forced romantic shojo that it became. I agree with all of that.

And I said that to say this, I really am disgusted with how things went for Naruto, Sasuke and Neji. Naruto doesn't receive any apologies from those who should give him one (like the villagers! I think the old hokage bastard died so.. no apology there I guess). Like, I know Iruka apologizes to him and I don't know why. I know Iruka was Naruto's first bond, what'd he and only him have to apologize for.

Not only that but Naruto just accepts everyone and then hides the fact that those in charge of Konoha planned the Uchiha massacre!!! (Does Sasuke know he's doing that?) It's ridiculous to just hide the genocide committed by the state (because he's patriotic? Wants to stick to the status quo as much as possible while trying to change things??). And it's somehow worse to hide it when you have this intensely close relationship with the lone survivor of that genocide.

Like, why write Naruto like that? To receive no actual closure (imo) on how he grew up in Konoha and tp make him a top tier bootlicker

included the second part of the ask

(2/2) With Sasuke, that genocide happened and he was just left to his own devices on the outskirts. And he's treated as a villian for justifiably wanting to "destroy" Konoha and wanting a revolution. It gets under my skin how much the K12 kids don't give a fuck about stuff like this. (I like all of them (except for 2) and stuff like this sours my opinion on them)

Not only is he treated as a villain, it appears that no one pay's for the Uchiha massacre (except for Itachi?) which is bullshit. It's just swept under the rug. And THEN Sasuke is written to become another Konoha bootlicker??! He has to go off on his own to atone for his sins? What!

And finally Neji. He died as he knew he would, for the main house family. I will hate that forever and always. His destiny didn't change. Little!Neji in the chunin exams exposing how fucked up the Hyuuga clan is, no one (except Naruto?) cares. He gave Hinata a chance to back out before he killed her, which was allowed, she didn't, he was about to end it and then 4 teachers(?) jump in to save her because, special treatment. Can't let the (former) Hyuuga heir die, she means more than the other kids.

And he was treated as an antagonist for being rightfully pissed off. But no, he just gets over it I guess after befriending Naruto, the Hyuuga clan continues with its slavery bullshit and he dies sacrificing himself for Hinata. What a way to go.

And I know they don't address the slavery Neji wanted to abolish in Boruto. They just ignore it and act like everything's fine and dandy. Naruto isn't one of those series where things just happen offscreen and we know it's cool, right? They can't just expect ppl to think the Hyuuga clan changed right? They don't even focus on them, Neji died and so did any relevance to the Hyuugas because Hinata doesn't do anything.

(Had Neji lived I know he also would've been turned into a major bootlicker too)

In conclusion I can't stand how these 3 boys were screwed over by the village in many ways and then screwed over by bad writing. It's irritating. I love Naruto but there's so many problems with it.

i tried to be concise, hope i covered everything!

I agree that if the Naruto franchise didn’t end off with lackluster romance plots and instead gave closure for all the things they left open ended after the end of the war it would have made a much better ending to the series.

Kishimoto had even admitted he had trouble writing romance in as he hadn’t ever planned on it. He never considered it that relevant so when they did include it, the whole thing felt so forced and awkward it was even kinda ooc for Naruto and Sasuke (scenes like narutos flat ‘im not in touch with my emotions’ reaction to hinatas confession that butchered his character were an absolute pain to sit through)

Nejis death being an awful plot devise to develop NH was a terrible move, like neji sacrificed himself for someone who moments later held narutos hand and went "his hands are warm"??

Don’t even wanna list anything I dislike about ss cause their marriage is so lifeless i feel dead thinking about it.

As for the villagers, they were happy to alienate a poor kid who couldn’t fend for himself and let him believe he was a demon and was deserving of it all but then started licking his boots when they realized they had the equivalent of a nuclear weapon desperate to protect them, and even then they weren’t remorseful of their actions, its all very sickening really,

I think the whole end of Naruto was handled in a way that went against the characters values? like I can easily imagine Naruto being rightfully enraged at the people who issued the massacre of hundreds of innocents, and he wouldn’t ever think of hiding anything like that, especially from the victim who was also his friend??.

How they wrote sasuke as someone who now fucking bows down and becomes a soldier for a village that destroyed him and has done nothing for him is just absolute bs. Although with sasuke, even if one argues his loyalty was for Naruto, the patriotic lines are just too much.

As for the rest, I don’t have much to say cause they never tried to understand why sasuke was doing what he did, they only saw a power hungry uchiha who was seeking revenge.

And yes nejis end was tragic for all the wrong reasons, i was more pissed than sad watching it. He was treated as a tool for nh and his anger at the hyuga clan and their issues was brushed off without much thought because the series never delved into it or resolved it.

And yes we got no real closure for the uchiha massacre, all the messed up things in the hyuga clan and the way Naruto was mistreated his whole life etc. Its aggravating how they expect us to believe its all fixed and fine now

I really do love the pre shippuden arcs like the zabuza and haku arc especially though. They were the peak naruto experience for me and are always the scenes I reminisce and often get nostalgic over.

[wanyinchen]

(I may have accidentally deleted the ask and the post whoops sorry, anon!)  HOLY CRAP YES PLS OMG TALK TO ME MORE They literally are the best team ever? Like I am such a sucker for found family tropes you have no idea. The idea of these four people, so different from one another and are, in varying degrees, considered as outsiders found a bond with each other so strong  and I- AHHHH I CAN’T NOT LOVE THEM. I’ve always imagined them to be all orphans and then finally, they found these people who could and would always be their home, and where they could feel safe, loved and cared for, a family. I-I’m weak-*chokes back the tears* I have always had a hard time making friends in my younger years and I was a bit of a loner at childhood, and now as I am older and found friends who I could laugh with and keep secrets with, who I could be myself with and who I could always be with, I FELT THAT WITH TEAM GAI, OK? THEIR TEAMWORK AND CLOSENESS?? YEAH BABY! Sure I could relate on Nart or some other character but something clicked in me with Rock Lee and Gai. Like holy crap these are not the type of characters I usually love but there’s something about these two adorable bowl-cut, spandex wearing angels that compel me to them so much. Hardwork, effort, and dedication is something I very much value but not always “do”, they’ve become one of my inspirations to do better and be better and all around help me make good decisions with the question “would Lee and Gai be proud of me if I do this?” fuck I am such a loser but I just hecking love them so much. Rock Lee is the love of my life and I love him to bits, this kid is super precious and so sweet and so polite, like omg I want him, he literally is boyfriend material and I just super love him and whoever ended up with this sweetheart, I congratulate you, you have eyes more powerful than all the ‘-gans’ in the world and you have caught the greatest treasure. Neji is a complex character, a true genius but always considered to be inferior from the main Hyuuga family just because he was from the branch family, he was this happy kid and then was so jaded by his dad’s death, like I just want to hug him. He had such a compelling character arc and development, evolving from this bitter (and with reason!) and angry kid to this mature teen who empathizes and loves his team and cousin very much. He became somewhat more mellow, gentle, and approachable now that he found a true family with team gai. HE SHOULDN’T HAVE DIED, IT WAS A BS PLOT DESICION AND I WAS LIKE CRYING AND WHAT???? FOR WHAT?? IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE, HIASHI SHOULD’VE DIED INSTEAD FFS. And then there’s my queen Tenten, the one who aspired to be like Tsunade, the greatest medical nin and the strongest kunoichi, but along the way, with her DAD’S (Gai’s) help, she discovered that she just wanted to be a great and strong kunoichi at her own right and at her abilities(!!!). Despite her clear insecurities, hotheadedness, and not getting what she wanted at first, she still strived to be better, and perseveres to keep up with her team mates. And hello? Space time ninjutsu is super cool? Like summon a shit ton of weapons all at once out of mid air and heck?? How was this not exploited and utilized by Kishi?? Give me a solo Tenten sword fight with a powerful enemy?? She’s a weapon’s mistress FFS, how come Sasuke and Orochimaru gets sword fights when SHE, the thing she specialized on, didn’t get to have one?? Fuck what this is BS I swear AND HOLY ROCK LEE I need all of my kids to be legit taijutsu masters and is actually shown to be unparalleled at it compared to other nins and kids since its KING MAITO GAI himself teaching them taijutsu holy ass is that too much to ask for??? Wait, let me gush about Gai, he’s literally my favorite character. He’s the best dad, I want him to be my dad. I really love my father but I want Gai (and Dai) to be my dad, ya know what I mean?? He’s so supportive, loving, and he really just gives his all in caring for you. He’s forgiving and firm and crap I want a mentor like that. He’s such a excellent sensei and are one of the best adults in Naruto. He’s so unconventionally handsome and attractive?? He’s so confident?? He’s so amazing?? He’s so emotionally intelligent?? He defies the unjust expectations set by others and said “fuck you” to it?? And he’s super crazy strong? Like literally feared and famed, I bet enemy and rogue nin just tremble at the mention of his name, a peep about “The Noble Blue Beast of Konoha” would have enemies wetting their pants. He’s one of the elites and is one of the strongest in the Konoha? Heck the world?? He went from this below mediocre adorable runt to this feared and very powerful jonin?? And he did this without ninjutsu, hacks, and any kekei genkai?? Only through pure hardwork and dedication?? He developed the Strong Fist style?? Yeah break dem bones, my king!! I only stan legends. He is literally the light of my and Kakashi’s life. Whether you ship kakagai platonically or romantically, dude you better believe that Gai is one of the most precious people of Kakashi. Kakashi literally trusts no one more implicitly than Gai. Like this hella paranoid and self-sacrificing silver haired dog boi trusted Gai to watch his ex-anbu traumatized ass and be there for him at all times of trouble??? And Gai being there for Kakashi so unfailingly for all of their lives??? For all the dark times in their lives, they'll always have each other no questions?? They're each other's constant?? They love each other so much?? No one knows them like the other??? Uhh hello?? Like why do some writers write Gai as this weird ass buffoon idiot who goddamn annoys Kakashi 24/7? And then Kakashi doesn't even like him and pushes him away, super annoyed?? What. Are we talking about the same characters?? They are each other's best friend. Goddamned soulmates. Eternal rivals. They all have such untapped potential that I am breathing hard in frustration. I still stand by my claim that we should’ve had Team Gai as protagonists like fuck. This is the hill I will die on, I want them, I want to see their bond, I want their stories, I want to witness their development?? Like why nerf these beautiful characters I hate it here WHOOPS, HAHAHAHAA! That was rather ineloquent and vulgar, uuhh forgive me! I hope I could talk to you again, anon! Thank you for enabling me and helping me warm up my brain in answering my summative essays, I feel like writing again! And pls send asks, i wanna make new friends

[narusasu-ao3recs]

Sometimes the hardest battle isn’t enough to change a heart, sometimes all the war and blood in the world isn’t enough to shift a single destiny. Sometimes a simple touch is enough to break down the strongest of barriers, sometimes a single word is enough to make the world quake. Sometimes the most reaching of changes comes in the form of a little boy sad enough, strong enough, and kind enough to make friends with a monster. Sometimes one change makes waves.

Naruto has been hearing the rumbling growl in the back of his head for as long as he can remember. He’s seven when he tries to talk to it for the first time. He’s the dead last, the failure at everything, so he doesn’t actually expect to succeed. And when he’s suddenly standing, knee deep in murky water and face to face with a demon, he has no idea what to expect. As it turns out, the world could use something unexpected.

In which Naruto discovers the real meaning of the word monster, Sasuke discovers power and strength and learns the difference between them, and Sakura discovers that being herself is not as selfish as she thought. Where Kakashi learns to fight again for what he loves, and Obito never stopped.

I feel like part one neji would have bodied part one sasuke. Part two, eh maybe not so much. (Maybe if kishi has actually remembered the hyuuga instead of making the aharingan bs)

sorry this took so long to answer but I had to sit and ruminate on this for a bit. End result: I agree. 

First of all, Neji was 14 in part 1, whereas Sasuke was 13. There’s a big difference in height and weight between 13 and 14 because that’s when boys go through growth spurts! Now, Kishi didn’t draw Neji and Sasuke super different in height and weight during the chunin exams, but you can imagine the difference. 

an example: My younger brother is 14 right now and he’s 6′ 1″ and 120 pounds. Just last year, he was 5′ 7″ and 100 pounds. That’s how big a difference one year can make. 6 inches and 20 pounds. That being said, everyone in my family is really tall (my mom’s the shortest in the fam and she’s 5′ 8″), so this isn’t an indication of how much all teen boys grow.

So Neji has height and weight on Sasuke, which is very important in a physical fight, as theirs would be. Then, take into account that base Sharingan is equal in power to a Byakugan. It would be a close fight, but Neji would win through Gentle Fist and just pure physical prowess.

aaaand then part 2 takes all of that and throws it into the fire.

Fuck the mangekyo sharingan. Kishi decided to give the Uchiha ALL the powers while completely forgetting the Hyuuga are supposed to be their equals. Made the Hyuuga look like a joke. I hate that sm.

Now, I can get behind this idea: No EMS, and all mangekyo have one new standard power: Tsukuyomi. They keep the base Sharingan’s powers too. Susanoo is also there, but that’s what causes eyestrain and danger of blindness. And there’s no way around that blindness. If I designed Mangekyo, that’s how I’d do it.

Seems like a good system lols. Kushina get's Reina's kids, huh? That mean you've got a pairing planned for her, or is she gonna be the cool aunt? You've got your pick of their gen really, the only named mothers I can think of are Tsume, Kushina, Mikoto, and Yoshino (kishi's respect for female characters shines out there) and I'm not sure Yoshino isn't fanon, frankly. Huh, she could even be Sakura's mom, which would make things interesting, lols. (1/2)

(2/2) If you want to continue the 'aloof prince' as Christina's type, the Hyuuga twins are in their age group! The clan politics are awful tho. Not sure Reina deserves having to deal with that BS. We know nothing about Tenten's family? Or Lee's for that matter. Inoichi is pretty and smart? Chouza is a much neglected character, though if reina is a healer their clan techniques might make her want to pull her hair out. Talk about stressful on the body.

...now that you mention it, I think Reina and Hizashi could make a really cute couple. Problem is, I can’t figure out a way for them to get together without Reina pulling an Itachi on the entire Main Branch the first time one of them tries to pull that Caged Bird seal bullshit.

[evilkitten3]

i'm serious about this.

both hinata and naruto are, by circumstances entirely out of their control, part of the system imprisoning neji and kurama. both hinata and naruto struggle to understand neji and kurama's feelings about their situation bc the hyuuga clan bs and the concept of jinchuuriki is treated as normal by everyone around them. both hinata and naruto want neji and kurama to be less nasty to them but neither of them (bc they are twelve-year-old children) really gets that there's a much larger problem than one individual's temper problems.

both neji and kurama lash out at hinata and naruto, who don't deserve it bc there's not much either of them can do but who are also the only safe targets/only target at all for that anger. hinata and naruto's mere existences are actively harming neji and kurama, but there's not really anything any of them can do about that.

i guess what i'm saying is that the reveal that kurama a) had never once initiated an attack on konoha of his own free will (something that both hashirama and minato were fully aware of), and b) was fully sentient with as many thoughts and feelings as anyone else, should've both caused a much greater impact on the other characters, especially neji.

i would've loved to see neji relating to kurama. i would have loved to see someone acknowledge how fucked up both their situations are. i would have loved to have a moment where we learn that kurama related to neji as well - maybe have him mention it was fucked up that his chakra was used for naruto to beat someone in the same position as him.

the branch family and the bijuu deserved their freedom

honestly naru//hina could've worked if a) kishimoto cared about hinata's character at all, and b) if the similarities between naruto's relationship with kurama and hinata's with neji had ever been explored even a little bit

[docexe-mx]

And the plot thickens...

So, I just read chapter 38 of the Boruto manga and to say the shit hit the fan would be the understatement of the century.

I have been pretty apathetic about Kara on the whole, but I do have to admit the whole deal with Jigen, the Karma seal and the role that the Ootsutsuki clan plays in the whole matter do have me very intrigued (indeed, what this chapter just revealed about Jigen and his connection to the Ootsutsuki is the primary reason why I’m not calling BS on what just happened).

Now, based on the information that this and other recent chapters have provided, I have decided to make some theories about what exactly is happening here, and some predictions of what might happen in the future (and dear ladies and gentlemen, if things just got incredibly bleak, I can’t help it but think they are going to become even worse).

More after the cut:

First, chapter 35 revealed that Kaguya didn’t come alone to the Naruto world back in the times prior to the beginning of the Shinobi era: She had a companion with her. Something happened to him and he was forgotten by history. However, in the same temple/shrine where Sasuke learned about his existence, he also found a confined Juubi in immature form, who was also connected to the mysterious Ootsutsuki: Jigen extracted some of the chakra from the Juubi and his body acquired an appearance very similar to the unknown Ootsutsuki.

Now this chapter has finally revealed his name: Ootsutsuki Isshiki. Furthermore, now we know what Jigen actual goal is: To create a proper “vessel” for Isshiki as he himself is unfit to wield Isshiki’s power, given that his body will be destroyed if he uses it for too long. This is the reason why he needs Kawaki, whose body seems to be very compatible with Isshiki’s chakra.

However, Jigen’s dialogue in the final page and his reaction to the damage his body incurred makes me believe there is more at play here. I think this has to do with what has been commented about the Karma seal in recent chapters (how it seems similar to the Mitotic Regeneration jutsu, which itself was apparently created in ancient times), not to mention Jigen’s reaction upon learning from Delta that Boruto also has a Karma seal (“Momoshiki, you sly fox! You created another vessel as you died”), made in parallel to a panel that had Boruto in Momoshiki’s grasp.

Long story short: I don’t think the man we have seen all these chapters acting as the leader of Kara is actually “Jigen” per se. I think it is rather Isshiki himself, with his mind/conscience/soul inhabiting the body of the man once known as Jigen and using him as a vessel/host, similar to how Orochimaru used the Living Corpse Reincarnation jutsu in the past to transfer his soul between different bodies, or how Kaguya took control over Madara’s body after the later enacted the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

I think the key for this is in the Karma seal itself: My theory is that it’s a cursed seal that contains some of the chakra as well as a piece of the mind/conscience/soul from the member of the Ootsutsuki clan that casted it, preserved in something akin to stasis or hibernation. It’s possible that eventually, the mind/soul of the Ootsutsuki “reawakens” due to repeated use of the seal and takes control over the body of the vessel. This supposition is  based on how Kawaki also took an appearance similar to Isshiki the last time he used the Karma seal while confronting Jigen, with the latter being surprised about how much Kawaki had “advanced”. It’s possible however that another “ritual” or procedure might also be required for the Ootsutsuki to take complete control of the vessel, given not only Kara’s need of recovering Kawaki from Konoha, but also what Jigen mentioned once about needing to “complete” the vessel.

I think this also ties on why Momoshiki placed the Karma seal on Boruto: The phantom/vision that Boruto saw of Momoshiki after giving him the killing blow commented on how Boruto had an impressive lineage (product of having both Uzumaki and Hyuuga blood, clans who descended directly from the Ootsutsuki themselves). He then stated that “one day, those blue eyes of yours will cause you to lose everything you hold dear”, a clear reference to Boruto’s Jougan, which while not featured yet in the manga, has actually been prominent in the anime, often giving Boruto the needed strength to surpass enemies far more powerful than him. I think the idea here is that Momoshiki realized that with his strong Ootsutsuki heritage, Boruto was the perfect “vessel” for him to reincarnate into, hence why he placed the Karma seal on his hand and made such a cryptic and fatidic statement.

Continuing with the theory about the Karma seal holding the mind/soul of the Ootsutsuki, my hypothesis is that back in the ancient era, when Kaguya and Isshiki first arrived to Naruto’s world, some sort or falling out between them ensued that resulted in a battle (it’s likely that this happened after Kaguya ate the fruit from the God Tree and decided to keep the world and its chakra for herself). Isshiki lost the fight and was almost killed, however he managed to transfer his mind/soul to a vessel through the Karma seal (probably casting it on some unfortunate human that was just passing).

Time later, after gaining control over his host, Isshiki probably managed to also eat the fruit from the God Tree (possibly by using the Space Time Jutsu to travel to another dimension) in order to get revenge on Kaguya, but the body of his new vessel was unable to contain so much power. He was thus forced to separate from the godly chakra he absorbed from the God Tree, which reformed into an immature Juubi that was chained into the shrine that Sasuke found. Since then, it’s possible that Isshiki has been roaming through multiple dimensions, placing the Karma seal on multiple hosts, in search of the one vessel capable of holding the full power of the Juubi and the Ootsutsuki clan, only recently returning to Naruto’s world after Kaguya’s final defeat. It’s also possible that the fight with Isshiki was what prompted Kaguya to start creating the White Zetsu army, in order to defend from a vengeful Isshiki or any other member of her kin coming to her world.

As to how all this ties to the Mitotic Regeneration, the jutsu was apparently taught to Tsunade by her grandmother, Uzumaki Mito. It’s possible that it was originally derived from a procedure similar to casting the Karma seal, and passed down through generations of the Uzumaki clan.

And now, for a prediction of the future:

Remember how in the very first chapter of the manga/anime we had that very grim flash forward? Boruto is about to fight against Kawaki on a ruined Konoha, with the implication that not only Kawaki destroyed the city but also might have killed Naruto. Kawaki then declares that the he is going to send Boruto to where he sent the 7th Hokage and that the “age of shinobi is over”. Boruto defiantly reveals his Jougan as well as the power of his Karma seal, while declaring that he is still a ninja.

The thing is that, based on what he have seen of Kawaki so far in the manga, that flash forward no longer makes sense. While Kawaki started as really hostile and mistrustful due to all the harsh experiences he suffered, he is actually a good natured person deep down. And after the brief time spent with Naruto and his family, he has developed genuine affection for them (even for Boruto, with whom he started on pretty bad terms) and decided to become a ninja. He also hates Jigen with all his guts after the hell his “father” made him experience.

Considering what we have seen of him so far, it just doesn’t make sense that Kawaki would eventually turn into such a vengeful and ungrateful prick that would betray/kill Naruto, not to mention destroy Konoha and try to do the same to the entire Shinobi world. So, my personal speculation: The guy we saw in the flash forward is not “Kawaki” per se, but rather Isshiki controlling Kawaki as his new vessel. If this theory about the Karma seal is true, I have to assume that at some point in the future, Jigen will finally capture Kawaki and “complete” him as the new vessel, with Isshiki then discarding Jigen’s body and taking over Kawaki’s. It’s even possible that when he talks about “sending Boruto to where the 7th is”, it might mean sealing him in the same dimension where Jigen sealed Naruto.

As for Boruto and his own Karma seal… well, he is the protagonist of the series and if he inherited anything from his father, it was the stubbornness. You have to assume that Momoshiki’s conscience/soul will eventually reawaken and try to take control over Boruto, but the Blonde Knucklehead Jr. will manage to subdue him and retain the power of the Karma for himself. Hell, Boruto might even manage to befriend or ally himself with Momoshiki, kinda like how Naruto eventually befriended Kurama. The apple doesn’t fall that far from the tree.

Even then, if everything I’m saying here is true, I foresee plenty of bleak things: There are several future tragedies and hardships awaiting Boruto, who knows if Kawaki can be rescued from Isshiki’s grasp, and Naruto might not be freed from the sealing until the very end of the story.

Sometimes the hardest battle isn’t enough to change a heart, sometimes all the war and blood in the world isn’t enough to shift a single destiny. Sometimes a simple touch is enough to break down the strongest of barriers, sometimes a single word is enough to make the world quake. Sometimes the most reaching of changes comes in the form of a little boy sad enough, strong enough, and kind enough to make friends with a monster. Sometimes one change makes waves.

Crossover and Fusion Prompts, pt. 3

·       After escaping his father, Barty Crouch Jr attempts to summon and bind a spirit of death and make it lead him to his master. The summoning works, the rest doesn’t; Captain Juushirou Ukitake and Vice-captain Rukia Kuchiki are less than impressed at being stranded in the world of Harry Potter for the foreseeable future. At least they can probably find a way to occupy their time until they find a way back…

·       Set in the world of Leviathan, with the cast of Naruto representing the Darwinists and the cast of Bleach representing the Clankers. Only pairing I need to see is Sakura/Rukia with upcoming geneticist Sakura, attached to the Bijuu-class Kurama under Captain Naruto, negotiating with the Kuchiki family for supplies and meeting the adopted daughter who is a brilliant mechanic with regards to cooling systems.

·       Sakumo/shuuhei where either Sakumo saves shuuhei during the war, Or Shuuhei saves Sakumo during his mission?

·       Are you doing prompts with Red Hood/DC? Because I could see Jason, Roy and Kori (ot3 maybe) getting sucked into some stupid magic portal or something possibly Kisuke related and ending up in the Bleach verse because of some BS reason like Jason's resurrection and having a weird relationship with death. Powers from reality hopping? Meh. They would have SUCH a big FU to Soul Society and the Central 46. I also'd love to see how they react to Isshin, and being super overprotective of all the kids.

·       Tsuna (Reborn) reborn (no pun intended) as Naruto (Tsuna/Yammato?) ? or Naruto reborn as Tsuna (Age-appropriate Naruto/Xanxus?)? (Crap I could have made a reborn pun if I had said "reborn as Reborn" dammit)

·       Ichigo and/or Kisuke is dropped into the world of Naruto, sees the shitshow that is the Hyuuga family, and decides to take Hinata under his wing and simultaneously beat some sense into Hiashi

·       Clint Barton Knows Everyone including other people named Hawkeye. A mission gone wrong suddenly goes right as backup arrives in the form of yet another Sharpshooter and her right hand flirt. I mean flame. I mean Boss.

·       Can I suggest Tobirama and Inuyasha [the one from the beginning of the series, I swear they broke him later on] in a world where hanyou blood is a rare but highly sought out item for blood rituals? (and if, /if/, you can toss in Shiori I think I'll die happily)

·       Tortall/The Circle Opens Series - Kel/Daja where Kel dosent realize that the Winding circle and the nations associated with them are not commonly interacted with in the rest of Tortall and her frustration at trying to find someone, anyone, who knows/travels to the area so she can send Daja a letter

·       I'd like to see maybe a follow up snippet of that Shuuhei/Shisui you wrote? To see how having a Shinigami in the mix has helped settle things like Tobito and Kaguya down. Something to do with Yahiko's/Rin's spirit that's chained to Konan/Nagato or Obito since s/he didn't want to leave them? Maybe Kensei shows up with Kisuke and Ichigo since Shuuhei just randomly disappeared. Or, you know, just something sweet after everything's over with the two of them being cute because emotions.

·       Tortall/HP - Diane Sarrasi meets Newt Scamander when someone kidnaps Kitten in an attempt to make a potion that will give them the power of the gods. Or steals a stormwing for the same purpose.

·       Harry potter and naruto crossover please where the two strategist, Shikamaru and Ron fall in love over attempts to teach the other their favored strategy game

·       Naruto and One Piece crossover where no one knows what to make of the solid fire clone pirate named Ace who crash landed on their doorstep half dead. Ace on the other hand is having the time of his life confusing people, and Genma just wants to help and enjoy the chaos.

·       Crossova prompt. Naruto + Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Minato/Roy Mustang. Soulmates AU: first words they hear you speak. After a messed up hashiran jump leaves him stranded at the right time to save Hughes's life from Envy. Minato finds the soulmate he's been looking for. Roy just thinks hes the prettiest damn thing hes ever seen. (Smut requested but optional of course)

·       Bleach/Naruto? Maybe they destroy the Hogyoku and it explodes or something and Starrk ends up in the Narutoverse WAY before the series starts? Maybe with the Inuzuka or the Hatake and becomes their 'kami' or something. Protects and teaches them. Takes a super long nap only to be awoken by Sakumo/Kakashi in their time of need. Gotta admit, Starrk raising Kakashi would be so freaking adorable, w/ or w/o Sakumo. Any pairings really, pre slash or gen is fine! I just want Starrk being a cute BA.

·       Saiyuki/bleach promt Son goku gets kidnapped by a weird guy in white called aizen and taken to Hueco Mundo were he meets a equally kidnapped girl orihime. Sanzo is obviously pissed and Kanzeon Bosatsu teleports the rest of sanzo ikkou to goku fighting all over and then Sanzo does his praying for the living thing and Orihime brakes free from female manga character weakness and start kicking ass.

·       OP FMA - Roy Mustang/Portgas D Ace. As a favor for Truth Roy ends up in the world of OP with the directive of stop whatever process thats blocking gates but not given much more information than that. Fake devils fruits seem to be a possible reason but really it could be freaking anything. He now understands very well why Edward complains about Truth.

·       Bit of an unusual one I know but if it catches your interest I would like to prompt a Silver Diamond/Naruto crossover with SD characters in Konoha. With Rakan getting mistaken as a Mokuton-user, Narushige as being related to Orochimaru (snakes and eeriely pretty), and Chigusa being... Chigusa.

·       KHR/InuYahsa - Sheshomaru/Reborn, The underworld had always been an good place for Yokai to hide as not many people remember the old ways. It is always interesting to meet those who do. Its even more interesting to meet those who dont but still give the proper respect anyways

·       KHR/Bleach - Reborn would really like it if this candy shop owner would stop giving him pitying looks and the other blond Shinji? he thinks his name was would stop taking so much joy in screwing with everyone's head. Thats his job damn it.

·       "Uchiha Madara—the abrasive, rather uncouth advisor to the Xingese Emperor, Senju Hashirama—can find nothing redeeming about Amestris’ Central City. Well, perhaps there’s one thing. NSFW Roy/Madara."

·       Zaraki/Kisame? Meeting at a sword smith and Immediately starting to fight :D

·       Abhorsen/Naruto crossover? Where everyone expects Orochimaru to be the next Abhorsen only he is far more interested in creating & experimenting (& plotting how to manage getting a apprenticeship under Tsunade's infamous Wallmaker uncle) so when the previous holder dies Orochimaru is forced into tracking down the new Abhorsen (so that he can get out of doing it himself!)

·       Gaara ends up in Hueco Mundo somehow? Mysteriously still has Shukaku... Just, like, accidentally rules the desert and ends Aizen when he gets too evil to let him keep going on as he was. Has a weird Espada posse who all think he's the best thing since sliced bread, learns about the Vaizards and decides that it sounds like being a jinchuuriki and is all, sure, I'll help with that. Only everyone thinks he's like this super Arrancar/Hollow and is terrified of him and he's super confused.

·       A Bleach/HP crossover with Hisagi and Akon being there on a mission to find Voldemordts horcruxes. Hisagi would love muggle studies and Akon would be either buried in the library or brewing potions.

·       Kisuke/Tobirama? Tobirama dies(or was experimenting) and pops up in Kisuke's lab or something and then its all like FOR SCIENCE. Adorable Akon as a child moments where he's like oh, are you from a clan because horns and Kaguya nonsense. Also, Tobirama would be, like, so done with all the Aizen bullshit. He'd just ended one war and this little shit wants another one? No, no way. Fuck that. Kisuke, hold my lab coat.

·       Maybe Ino as a Beauxbatons student in the Triwizard Tournament... with Ginny/Ino in the Yule Ball?

·       luna lovegood reincarnates in khr. maybe as tsuna???

·       Iruka/Urahara Kisuke platonic soulmates. Urahara created something to give him a hint on his last soulmate mark. It worked far better than it should have. Why is he always surrounded by ninja? Yoruichi just claims that Somebody in Urahara's life needs to have common sense when they're not being an enabler.

·       luffy reincarnates in naruto'verse, and fixes bullshitTM by being his oblivious self

·       Saiyuki/Naruto crossover with Goku & Naruto as penpals/friends after meeting while travelling with Jiraiya? And/Or Kanzeon giving a smack-down to Kaguya?

·       Tobirama and Akon from Bleach geeking out over science together? People around them are not sure if they are working or flirting. Kurotsuchi can't decide if he should recruit Tobirama or kill him for taking his second in commands attention away from himself.

·       can I request Trafalgar Law being dumped into the bleach verse and becoming an underground doctor and eventually hooking up with Ichigo (Who I totally headcanon as becoming a councilor or teacher of some sort who beats down hollows and yakuza thugs on the side)

·       Look, Shikamaru does Not appreciate the brand new instincts that comes with being newly Flame Active. Why is this even his life? Shut up, Reborn. Your advice is terrible.

·       Ace/Roy mutual being protective of people and flirting. Bonus points for including the line "I like your spark"

·       Bleack/Naruto crossover, with Tobirama and Madara getting hot and bothered over Ichigo and Urahara drama llama?

·       How about a Naruto/Saiyuki crossover where the Sanzo group winds up in the Warring Clans Era. Maybe in the middle of the battle where Izuna dies? 

·       meeting between reverse Kurama and OPM Garou?? I just have Thoughts on their take on 'monster'. I think Garou ending up in the naruto world would be interesting, given that most everyone has definitely killed someone else. could be slash or not, your choice!

·       Sai/Regulus. Maybe where when Regulus died he somehow got transported into the Narutoverse?

·       Hashirama is the new substitute Herbology teacher at Hogwarts.

·       Narushige/Ukitake Bleach crossover AU OR Narushige and Kou end up in Naruto world, ship of your choice.

·       YYH/Bleach cross over the spirit gang having to make a life there and their powers are now that of the bleach beings how do they adapt? Kuwabara would make a banging shinigami. (Side note: Would Hiei's Jagan be able to see through Kyouka Suigetsu's power?)

·       Naruto/Bleach crossover where the world's are meshed. All Jinchuriki become Hollows after death because of the corrosive chakra of the bijuu that live in them so long. How do Naruto and Gaara handle it? Do they eventually become Arrancar?

·       Sesshoumaru in youkai!AU ? Or portal that Gen and Kisame and Yugito fell through led to Inuyasha world!

·       A summoning materia in Crisis Core brings forth a Jinchuuriki - Utitaka or Rin perhaps? :D

·       may I request a KHR and Naruto cross-over? Maybe Enma as Chojiros apprentice? Or Ken being a Summons?

·       Bleach and YuGiOh - there's a third possessing spirit. Shuuhei for Joey is my inclination due to Reaper Kazeshini but doesn't gotta be!

·       Bazz in Victorian England a la Kuroshitsuji, meeting the Hell of a Butler! Perhaps in the circus arc or zombie ship arc? (That, or a Bleach Shinigami showing Elizabeth sword skills would be so cool. Imagine a Shinji-trained Elizabeth, for example!)

·       Madara wanders into Yuuko Ichihara’s shop.

·       If you like it, maybe a Silver Diamond crossover, where Obito finds himself in the middle of the desert and is found by all the number-children, and is taken as a sanome and eventually helps?

·       Bleach/Atla crossover. The Espada are team avatar, and it’s a disaster.

·       The Young Avengers ran to fight another day when the skrull invasion succeeded and decided to settle in Konoha pre 4th shinobi war. Ino and Sakura find a new dark haired bad ass in purple to try to woo, because who knew civilians were so amazing? And who isn't gay for Kate Bishop? Also Billy and Teddy whisper Kate's like and dislikes to the suitor they support because they want their friend to be happy.

·       Yu Yu Hakusho!Kurama meets Naruto!Kurama.

·       Shanks (the totally Uzumaki) steals away a willing younger Naruto and Naruto happily becomes the first official ninja pirate. He grows up with the crew as supportive family and gets dropped off to play with Luffy sometimes.

·       Sakura/Kori - Kori is just looking for her wayward teammates. Sakura sympathizes and agrees to help. She also really, really hopes it will take them a long time to find the misplaced duo.

·       An Inuyasha/Bleach crossover, no real pairing, just Kisuke Urahara trying to figure out why he, Ichigo and Yoroichi are here. Like a science thing gone wrong. Also can you imagine if he met Kagome? "How are you from modern times? How does this work? Why have I never heard of this? Demons are real? I need to take notes!"

·       Naruto Bleach crossover. Any ships of you choice or gen, I don't mind. Minato summons the shinigami during the fight with Kurama and accidentally ends up with Ichigo. Further developments end up involving the rest of the Gotei too. Bonus points for Kakashi being a troll. Thank you!

·       Daja Kisubo/Tenten, please and thank you

·       atla/fma crossover where ed and al are benders and accidentally left al's body behind when they went to the spirit realm to try to visit their mother. Now they have to get it back, which is a little hard with the avatar gone... Or so they thought anyway.

·       Naruto/Harry Potter crossover please? Kakobi where they end up at Hogwarts as teenagers but they are definitely ninja, bodyguards for the students or something like that. I basically want to see the interactions between Hogwards people, who seem relatively ok with reckless endangerment of youth, and two child assasins

·       Orochimaru outclassing Voldemort in every way, please.

·       Mukuro activating his eye for the first time and is suddenly able to see spirits. First it's only the children who died from the experiments, but after he escapes, he encounters a pale spirit by a lake and his very... happy brother. Cue Tobirama deciding to follow these boys and make sure they don't get into trouble. It's like having a genin team again...

·       Obito in Night Vale, or: The Space-Time Continuum Is On The Fritz...Again.

·       The Gaang discover an unconscious Ace (op) on their travels around the Earth Kingdom, they are mistrustful at first bc of the fire, but come around. Sokka and Ace bond over being protective big brothers

·       So Kurama ends up in Saiyuki; not being actual yokai but instead a sentient mass of energy the minus wave does nothing but annoy him. The merciful goddess has no idea where this guy came from but isn't he entertaining? With his sneaky and sometimes very blunt approach to the whole 'crazy wave' and how to fix the yokai affected by it. Obviously must add Sanzo to maximize entertainment.

·       Okay, so Shuuhei Hisagi takes anon-planned trip in the Naruto world and comes backwith tiny murder kid Sasuke. Sasuke is raised by the ninth division and is better off than in canon. (Maybe a dead Shisui is hanging out in Soul Society too?).

·       FFVII in Saiyuki - Cid and Vincent crash-land into the Sanzo-ikko, and that's cool. Cid can recognize an unlikely band of heroes when he sees one. No, the issue here is that Gyojo's getting really offended that Cid keeps aggressively forcing tea on people as an excuse to keep Vincent away from Hakkai because "those mopey-ass motherfuckers don't need more reasons to be depressed." Sanzo would like the demons to start making sense please.

·       Good evening, listeners. I’ve been informed that, due to some recent technical difficulties, Night Vale Community Radio is currently being broadcast well outside its usual range. By which I mean, radios in other cities, dimensions, and times may well be picking us up. To our new listeners, should they exist: thank you for tuning in, however inadvertantly. Should they not exist: come on, guys, put some effort into it! Existing isn’t THAT hard! If we can do it, so can you.

·       Joyfire in Naruto. All the orphans adoption. Nobody bothers Jason about things like no kill run.

·       Starrk/Kisame Some sort of crossover where he meets Starrk and Lilynette and ends up accidentally marrying them or something. (maybe Starrk is dumped in the Naruto world? Maybe Kisame is recruited by Aizen instead of Obito? Maybe the Naruto people are all fused into the Bleach society?)

·       Naruto in Bleach - Kakashi is leading the Konoha ANBU who died in Pein's invasion in a lively game of hide-and-seek against everyone else who got hit by either the Rinnegan or the Edo Tensei up until the 4th War, which resulted in them all getting dumped into the deepest, darkest forest in the Rukongai because necromancy is against the Laws of Nature for a REASON. Someone sees the Ryoka invasion as an opportunity and things get really confusing really fast for the Shinigami.

·       FMA/Star Trek Original Series Roy Mustang/James Kirk Crossover where the crew end up in Amestris and try to blend in, but in doing so draw the attention of Mustang Squad. As a result, both Roy and Kirk are constantly "accidentally" bumping into each other so that they can get the measure of each other. Except they're both men who tend to play the flirt for strategic purposes, but are totally unprepared to have it used against them. Exasperated Riza and Spock interactions would be a plus.

·       FFVII in KHR - Cid ends up reborn as Enrico di Vongola and he very much approves of his Flame being Sky. Nono despairs over his magpie heir. Cid collects uncut gemstones and makes materia out of them. Then proceeds to permanently equip a mastered pre-emptive materia because he knows people are out to get him. People keep sabotaging his planes and it pisses him off. Assassinate him in person like an adult, damn it!

·       Harry Potter in KHR - Sirius Black manages to use his brain when he reaches the scene at Godric's Hollow, grabs Harry and absconds to a foreign country (Italy sounds nice) only to pitch himself headfirst into a relationship with a career criminal when he uses a bit of Black magic to exorcise the vengeful ghost haunting the Vongola bloodline. Sirius had thought James was overdramatic while courting Lily, but he has nothing on Reborn.

Inu Yasha in Saiyuki - Inu Yasha stuffs one too many tree trunks down the Bone Eater's Well and the entire crew gets blasted across dimensions. The crazed demons who try to eat Kagome discover a previously unknown really aggressive food allergy. Inu Yasha is listening to the description of hanyou and being very confused by it. News of a mixed crew of demons and humans attracts attention from all corners. Sanzo wants to hit someone for his new headache.

What I thought the Naruto ending would actually be like

• team 7 united and inseparable • team 7 in ANBU • Sakura as head medic • Sasuke as ANBU captain • Orochimaru dead or imprisoned • ACTUAL emotional development between Sasuke and Team 7 • Sasuke spending the rest of his days making it up for Naruto for saving him • Sasuke WORKING on an actual friendship between him and Sakura • Naruto and Karin actually interacting and becoming good friends • Tenzou eventually discovering who he was before Orochimaru kidnapped him • Iruka-sensei adopting Naruto or asking him to move in with him • Kakashi talking to Naruto about Minato and Kushina • Kakashi providing a believable story to why he never looked after Naruto • The Hyuuga losing the curse seal • an explanation to why Hiashi treated his daughter like dirt and emotionally abused her???? • Tenten as a successful and brilliant young kunoichi, famous for her weapons in all nations because heck, that girl rocks • Lee-sensei tbh • Also, Naruto was supposed to put his family above all else not abandon them for work. He worked his ass off to be acknowledged and loved and now that he is he doesn't appreciate it? Excuse me? • Oh and, where the heck is Sasuke's twenty-something children?? One of his dreams was to rebuild his clan. • where is Sasuke becoming a good human being and finding actual love and having children he gives a shit about? • where are all the moments that was supposed to happen between Naruto and Sasuke after Sasuke came back?? • what about the part where Sakura's development isn't WIPED and she isn't turned into a pathetic love sick puppy and is actually an accomplished successful and independent woman?? • Rookie 9 being close knit af not barely interacting • I JUST WANTED SOME TEAM 7 BONDING IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR • I JUST WANTED FUCKIN PROPER EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND FRIENDSHIP BUILDING WTF IS THIS BS
