The Twin Jinchuriki
Y/N! Uzumaki - Jinchuriki x Sasuke Uchiha
{This story uses the reader’s name, but the reader is Naruto’s non-identical twin sister, so I have given the reader Kushina’s red hair and Minato’s blue eyes. ALSO shoutout to @the-fictional-wife for inspiring this story!}
Tumblr media
13 Years Ago:
The Nine Tailed Fox snarls and roars loud enough to shake the ground, Minato and Kushina steady themselves as they hold their newborn babies in their arms.
“M-Minato… What are we going to do?” Kushina weakly asks her husband, rocking her blonde son as she speaks to soothe him.
Minato contemplates the possible outcomes of this situation, but they all end badly.
“I need you to run. Take our children with you-“
“No! Minato, I won’t leave you!” Kushina argues and stands her ground as angry tears well up in her green eyes.
The blonde Namikaze man groans in frustration and locks eyes with the orange beast.
“Kushina… I’ll seal half of the Nine Tailed Fox inside of myself and the other half in Y/N. I know it may seem harsh, but our daughter is strong, just like her Mother.”
The Red-Hot Habanero whimpers at Minato’s words and sobs softly. How could parents do something like this to their own children? How could she place this kind of burden on her newborn babies, especially their daughter? Kushina had to push those thoughts aside and place focus on protecting the Leaf Village and everyone in it.
“Alright, let’s do this before it’s too late.”
The 4th Hokage prepares the ritual and places his red-headed daughter in the centre. Her twin, which they named Naruto, lays closely outside of the ritual circle.
“To my children…” Kushina’s strained voice began to speak to the defenceless babies as Minato completes the final touches of his Reaper Death Seal.
“… I want you to grow up strong. Eat your vegetables and don’t be too picky. Always stand by each other’s side and take care of one another. I wish that I could be there to watch you both grow up, but… Your Father and I will see you again one day.”
***
The Present Day:
“Naruto, come on! We’re gonna be late! Not only did I set your alarm for you, but I tried to wake you up three times on my own! I swear, you could sleep through a typhoon!”
I peg Naruto’s ninja headband at him, which hits him directly in the face.
“20 points for Y/N Uzumaki! Hah!”
“You’re so dead!”
Naruto jumps out of bed and chases me around our shared apartment, laughing playfully.
“Are you two finished?”
A familiar voice draws Naruto’s and my’s attention towards our window, where we notice our Sensei and teammates watching with both annoyance and amusement.
“Sorry, Kakashi Sensei! Naruto slept in AGAIN. Didn’t you, you knucklehead?”
I headlock my blonde brother and give him some classic sibling affection. A good ‘ole noogie.
“Naruto, you are SUCH a pain. If it was just me, Sasuke and Y/N, maybe we’d be on time for once!” Sakura groans and rolls her eyes.
I blink a few times to process the words that just came out of her dirty mouth before snapping back.
“Naruto is NOT a pain, Sakura. You just wish that you could have an awesome brother like him.”
Sakura scoffs and crosses her arms, much to the amusement of our other teammate, Sasuke Uchiha. Huh, a genuine smile. Well, half a smile, anyway.
Naruto shoots me a grateful look before throwing on his ninja attire, then, the five of us set off for another adventure as Team 7.
(Hello beautiful readers! I was hesitant to post this first part of my new story, but I’d like to hear what you guys think of it! I’ve had writer’s block the last few days, so it has been a STRUGGLE. Thanks for reading!)

Rin Week 2023
Tumblr media
A drabble and an illustration for the most special girl in Narutoverse.
Day 4 | November 15 Secret
Team Minato; Rin has a secret; Kakashi has a secret; Obito ...is asleep; they are all tipsy; this is supposed to be funny
The shinobi world is a cruel place. If you’re raised a ninja, it often feels like running naked through a nettle field. No matter how fast you are trying to get out, it always stings. Constant pain and misery touch your bare skin, and you slowly get used to it. The shinobi world is greedy too. It takes the people you love and hardly ever returns them. And you are expected to go with it, no questions asked. But as one Red-Hot Habanero shrewdly observed, this world had room for smiles, laughter, and occasional celebration, especially when your loved ones were given back to you. 
A team of three young shinobi of the Hidden Leaf was that lucky. But miracles didn’t just happen for them. They had to claw back their teammate from the darkness and then fight day and night for his life. Cry for each other and hold shaking hands; lose sleep and hug tight.   
Since then, the hardest and the happiest day of their lives turned into an anniversary that was celebrated as the team’s birthday, their own little festival. Kushina and Kakashi would prepare a feast making sure everybody’s favorite dish was on the menu. Rin was in charge of decorations and flowers. Every year she would make a special arrangement for the table and provide small bouquets for her teammates. The location for the celebration was Minato and Obito’s duty. They liked scouting out picturesque spots, preferably near water. The hike was their small ritual: they traveled alone, mostly in silence. Obito felt special because he was on the same task as the captain, but for Minato it was a pilgrimage to the day when he carried the dying boy back to the village cursing himself for every wrong choice he’d made. Now he let Obito lead the way watching how the 16-year-old jumped left and right like a puppy chasing a butterfly. He followed and silently renewed his vow to always have his back, always protect the kid he’d almost lost. 
This year they picked a cabin near a small waterfall. The view was worthy of the occasion, and there were enough rooms to stay overnight. The Namikaze-Uzumaki family had grown a new member who enjoyed the attention and liked making everything about himself. He was three. The baby added the ingenuousness that the team gradually grew out of, and he kept his parents occupied, so that Rin, Obito and Kakashi could have more privacy and party the way they wanted.
However, none of them was a party animal.  
***
“Isn’t he adorable?” Rin said quietly tugging at Kakashi’s sleeve. Obito had rested his head in her lap; his eyes were closed, lips parted; soft snuffling noises made it clear - he was fast asleep. 
“The word is ‘pathetic’, Rin. We didn’t even drink that much, and he’s already out like a light.” Kakashi took another sip of his beverage (being on good terms with the Sannin had its benefits: their favorite genius was allowed a drink of his choice now and then, in moderation though), “Or… maybe he just really wanted to get to his comfort place as soon as possible.”
“You mean he’s dreaming of something comforting?”
“I mean your lap.” 
Rin paused for a moment, startled with the misplaced sarcasm, but then smirked at him and continued stroking Obito’s hair. “Are you trying to be funny or irritating?” 
Kakashi’s snarky comments never worked on her; at least they never escalated into a full-scale fight like they did with Obito. Rin was just… smarter. If Kakashi all of a sudden started showing his sassy attitude, it only meant he was uncomfortable. She reached for his face and playfully squeezed his cheek like she would with their captain’s little son. 
“Rin, are you trying to be … cheeky right now?” He barely finished the sentence as they both started giggling. Making terrible jokes was their thing, especially when they were tipsy like that. 
“What is it, Kakashi? How did he piss you off this time?” 
“He didn’t. Everything’s fine.” 
“Come on now. You know you’ll feel better if you tell me. Is it because he kept teasing you about that girl?”
Kakashi pulled his mask down and drank some more, then he looked at Rin, the mask still under his chin. 
“Bingo,” said the girl with a half-smile. “You know he’s not trying to be insensitive, right? It’s just that you never talk to him about this kind of stuff, and he probably needs it. So he’s simply trying to start a conversation with you.”
Kakashi turned his gaze to the floor in front of him pulling his yukata over his knees.
“I know we’ve been over this, but… why don’t you just tell him?”
“Let’s not do this tonight, Rin.”
“You told me…”
“It was different with you! You had a thing for me, and it wouldn’t be fa…” 
Rin quickly pressed her finger to his lips, “Yeah-yeah! Let’s pretend you told me because I’m your best friend and not recollect the moment I made a fool of myself?”
Kakashi took her hand in his, bowed his head and pressed his forehead to the back of Rin’s hand, “I’m still sorry about that by the way.”
“Hatake Kakashi, stop being so suave, or my inappropriate feelings will return again!” 
They both started laughing causing Obito to stir in his sleep. Rin pulled Kakashi closer, and he moved to sit next to her, their attention returning to the sleeping teammate. 
“Although… he was kind of an ass to you today,” whispered Rin. “Do you want to teach him a lesson?”
“I might wanna teach him a lesson, yes. About the importance of respecting other people’s boundaries,” Kakashi whispered jokingly, but then, to his surprise, Rin carefully lifted Obito’s head, laid it onto Kakashi’s lap, and sprang to her feet.
“What are you doing?” 
“Be right back. Don’t wake him up!” she shot back and dashed to the hall.
Obito’s head felt heavy. Without Rin in the room, it was too quiet, and Kakashi could hear his friend’s breathing: in and out, the chest rising and falling, slowly, evenly; no gasping for air. “Good job, buddy. You’re doing a great job, just keep breathing, okay? Just like that.” His own words from a long time ago echoed in his mind, but he suppressed them right away reminding himself that there was no need to monitor Obito’s breathing anymore. He was okay now.     
Rin suddenly reappeared next to Kakashi, eyes sparkling with mischief. Noticing that his hands were still hovering near Obito’s temples, she gently nudged Kakashi out of his trance. When his eyes gained focus again she proudly demonstrated a black marker that she'd fished out from Kushina’s bag with the baby stuff.
“Are you actually going to draw on his face? Like a five-year-old?”
“Yep! Can you steady his head a bit, Mr. Boring?”
Kakashi’s hands reluctantly landed on Obito’s cheeks tilting his head in Rin’s direction. She proceeded to draw a funny-looking beard and a mustache. 
“You know, he can’t grow a beard anyway, so this is offensive as hell. Keep drawing.”
Rin raised her eyes at Kakashi covering her mouth to stifle a laugh. Then she started to draw a pair of very thick eyebrows. 
“Oh, that’s just cruel! He’ll never forgive you for making him look like Gai.”
“Me? Who said I was responsible for this? It’s totally your doing,” she said in a mockingly indignant tone as she traced out ‘Kakashi did this’ on Obito’s cheeks. 
“Hey! He’d happily let you off the hook, but me?! I’ll never see the end of it!”
Rin ignored Kakashi’s words, admiring her work. 
“Isn’t he adorable?” Having said that, she was carefully watching her friend whose left hand was still resting on Obito’s cheek. 
“Yeah… he is.”
“Kakashi, you can tell him. He’ll be okay with it, I promise.” 
There was a minute of silence between them.
“But you can’t promise me that, Rin. What if he’s simply weirded out by it? Or feels uncomfortable? What if he stops hanging out with me at all?”
“That’s not gonna ha…”
“I know! I know this is probably not gonna happen, but what if it does? What if I'm not a part of his life anymore? You were there, Rin; it was hell without him. I’m just… I’m not ready. I’m not ready to lose him… again.”
“Kakashi, you idiot! Did you really think I would…” Obito opened his eyes and tried to prop himself up with his elbows, but in an instant a very precise hand hit several chakra points on his neck knocking him unconscious. 
“Kakashi! You can’t do that! Why did you hit him?!” 
“It was a reflex, okay!” They both leaned over to check on Obito.
“Has he been awake the entire time?” Kakashi was getting worried.
“How should I know? Seriously, Kakashi, I just wanted you to be honest with your best friend, and you go and do this?!”
“I said I didn’t mean to knock him out, okay?! And by the way, maybe you should stop berating me? It’s not like you’re completely honest with him either. Did you have enough courage to tell him about your secret nurse-boyfriend?”
“Rin?! You have a bo…” Obito regained consciousness but only for a few seconds before another hand made him pass out again.
“RIN!”
“I’m sorry!”

Minato & Kushina: A "Deep Dive" Analysis (Section B, Part II)
Earlier parts here.
Tumblr media
So far we've explored Minato and Kushina's oneness in terms of the Hokageship. But what of their personal hopes behind ‘Hokage?’
(Section B) II. Minato and Kushina as Types
Genin-Kushina speaks of Minato being able to “make all of [her] dreams come true,” and spirit-Kushina thinks, in her final farewell, “our hopes really did reach our son.” On his deathbed, Jiraiya thinks of Naruto as having "inherited Minato and Kushina’s hopes" and makes a direct link between those hopes and the hero of his novel.
Tumblr media
The novel’s hero embarks on a mission to bring peace and the couple name their son after him. Why? Because this “Naruto” embodies their hopes and dream: peace. They grew up in an era of war. Kushina lost her village and is a prisoner and weapon at Konoha’s beck and call. Minato loses two of his students, fails to fix the third's trauma, and sees the woman he loves suffer her entire life being the jinchūriki.
Tumblr media
Furthermore, Minato is Jiraiya’s student, whose will he also inherits – harkening to the prophesied shinobi who will usher in an era of peace. A "savior" whom I will call, to maintain the parents' vision in mind, "peacemaker."
Tumblr media
Which, of course, brings us to Minato and Kushina’s living legacy.
Tumblr media
Naruto, this “child of prophecy,” dubs himself “Konoha’s Orange Hokage” as an amalgamation of the Yellow Flash and Red-Hot Habanero. By extension, thus, the peacemaker (and Hokage) title belongs to Minato and Kushina together, embodied in the living, breathing, walking result of their love.
We touched on Naruto inheriting his parents’ love and redeeming Kurama (turning Hatred himself into a vessel of love). But moreover, as Kurama’s jinchūriki he is the 'key' to changing the future. Passed from Jiraiya to Minato to Naruto is the mission of bringing peace. And passed from Kushina to Naruto is the means of accomplishing it.
Tumblr media
Jiraiya first believes Minato is the child of prophecy (chapter: Minato’s Dead Demon Consuming Seal), and the anime version of their talk features a pregnant Kushina with them. So right as Minato learns of the prophecy, their child – its fulfiller – is present. Foreshadowed is the legacy Minato will bestow both as a peacemaker and the peacemaker’s father.
Tumblr media
[Now on the topic of 'savior,' Naruto has been called by many fans a ‘Christ figure.’ This trope is actually a misnomer. Do you know what Jesus Christ actually did, what salvation actually is? Check out this 1-minute video:
youtube
To define the saviorship motif in Naruto, we're talking about something very different. The series themes salvation as a ‘saving’ from hatred internal and external; a reconciling peace with oneself and peace between nations.]
Jiraiya and Minato’s conversation is not the first foreshadowing of the savior theme. The entire series kicks off, in fact, with the following prologue:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Minato is introduced as Konoha’s “champion” in direct conjunction with “Fourth Hokage.” Then we jump to the title of Chapter 1: Uzumaki Naruto! Naruto debuts desecrating the Hokage rock faces – a jokey hint that he’ll one day surpass them all.
Tumblr media
Pranking which, for a fun fact, is an "interest" of Kushina's per one of the databooks.
We find mentions of “Fourth Hokage” throughout the story and learn that Naruto reminds Jiraiya of this renowned hero. He appears in person in the prelude to the timeskip – the ‘second prologue’ if you will – as Obito’s sensei. Then we jump to a 15-year-old Naruto returning to the village with Jiraiya. The parallelism in the two ‘prologues’ juxtaposes Minato and Naruto in the grand narrative: Minato is the typological peacemaker who secures the future; Naruto is the legacy peacemaker who carries it out. Minato is both a peacemaker himself and a ‘type’ (a ‘pre-figure’) of the one to come.
How is Minato a true peacemaker and a type? His love gave Kushina the peace to overcome Kurama, prefiguring the internal peace Naruto will help others achieve. And his actions contributed to ending the Third Great War, prefiguring the external peace Naruto will usher with the Fourth.
Tumblr media
Framing Jiraiya’s flashback of Naruto’s parents is the theme of the child of prophecy, in the contrasts between his three students who were candidates for the role. Jiraiya is killed by Nagato who lost faith and betrayed his teachings; he remembers Minato who held faith and died for that faith; and in remembering Minato’s faith he recalls his own faith in Naruto – that Naruto is the one who will see their mission through.
In this flashback Minato is visually removed from “Fourth Hokage:” he is in his plain attire without the cloak. He is verbally removed from Fourth Hokage, with not a mention relating to the title. And we know that he is Hokage because Kushina is (heavily) pregnant.
Tumblr media
Minato in this scene is three things, linked in the connection of three wills. He is the student of author and sensei Jiraiya, whose will he has inherited. He is the husband of (heavily) pregnant Kushina, who shares (and carries the fulfiller of) that will. And he is the father of to-be-born Naruto, who will fulfil that will.
Moreover, this scene is entirely centered around them naming Naruto (the act of doing so in itself a symbol of passing on legacy). With their child being named after the hero in Jiraiya’s novel, we see the amalgamating of the to-be-parents’ and Jiraiya’s legacies into one.
Tumblr media
Kushina likewise is met not as “Konoha’s jinchūriki” but Naruto’s mother – this moment being her first in-person appearance in the series. She is very heavily pregnant, Minato remarking on their “soon-to-born child,” and when she enters the room all attention is drawn to her belly swollen with Naruto.
In both the anime and game versions, in fact, we see Kushina’s belly before we see the rest of her. In the anime, she waddles tummy-first into the frame, and after close-up shots of her and Jiraiya is a close-up of her caressing it.
In the game (Storm Generations), we have a mid-shot of just her belly, from which the camera pans up to her face.
Tumblr media
[Kushina rubbing her belly in the anime could also imply that the baby is kicking. Which would further make Naruto not just the topic of, but active in the scene. (Though of course, pregnant women are known to rub their bellies all the time. Just a thought.)]
Kushina’s mention-debut too is in conjunction with Naruto: Tsunade says Naruto takes after “his mother” before she introduces her name. The first word Kushina herself speaks is “Naruto,” with her remark that the name is “wonderful.” And she does the same in her second appearance 16 years later when she saves him from Kurama.
Further, Kushina's mention-debut draws a contrast between her and Minato in relation to their son. Where we’ve been led up to this point to believe that Naruto is a ‘mini-Minato’ (reminding Jiraiya of “Lord Fourth,” having the Hokage dream and so forth), Jiraiya and Tsunade reveal the key twist: Naruto is LESS like Minato and VERY MUCH like Kushina.
Tsunade attributes Naruto’s personality and ninjutsu style to “definitely” being from Kushina. Additionally, aside from his hair and eye-color, his face is the splitting image of his mother’s. (We are in no way discrediting Minato here – Naruto is in many ways, as we’ll discuss, like his father too. The emphasis is that he is far less like Minato in comparison.)
Tumblr media
[It is greatly fitting that Jiraiya and Tsunade are the ones to exposit these details, being the prior generation characters themselves in the circle of legacy. As Mito’s granddaughter, Tsunade is essentially ‘the Uzumaki’ of her generation. She also sits in a curious position in the Hokage line: succeeding Hiruzen who (preceded and) succeeded Minato; and preceding Kakashi who will precede Naruto. Further, in dynamics and traits we have a multi-generation parallel: Hashirama and Mito; Jiraiya and Tsunade; Minato and Kushina; Naruto and Sakura; and Boruto and Sarada/Himawari. This is something we will visit later too, for there is a plethora of parallels here. (Note I said “dynamics and traits,” not “ships,” so hold your pitchforks. We'll certainly discuss Hinata too.)]
So Tsunade, our Uzumaki ‘cousin,’ tells us that Naruto is most like his mother, with Jiraiya’s agreement and reveal that he does not in fact possess Minato’s genius. (Contrary to a common fan misperception, Naruto is a people and battle genius. So by this lack we mean academic, Kushina herself admitting she was bad at studying.) These statements follow Jiraiya and Tsunade discussing their faith in Naruto becoming Hokage. And here we have in subtext something which gets very much overlooked.
Recall me saying that Kushina gives Naruto the means of bringing peace while Minato (and Jiraiya) pass on the mission. That means is not only Kurama, but the very trait at the core of Naruto’s personality.
Tumblr media
Yes, we are talking about his signature technique: the soul-piercing ‘talk no jutsu.’
It is of no insignificance that Minato’s dying words to Naruto are “ditto your loquacious mother” (or in the anime, "your talkative mom said it all"). Nor that Naruto repeats his mother’s speech to Minato verbatim after he has helped save the world. Minato’s dying act is to sacrifice himself, putting his faith in his son WITH Kushina's chakra. His final departure to the Pure Lands is a following of that faith fulfilled.
Tumblr media
It is also of no insignificance that Kushina’s self-introduction to Naruto is on his inheriting her talkativeness. Naruto realizes who she is not by her near-identical face, nor by the fact that he had met his father under similar circumstances, but by her verbal tick 'ttebane like his 'ttebayo. Ironically, her “Minato didn’t say anything?” line alludes to this even further: Kushina is the one to pass on the passionate, empathetic talkative quirk; one Minato doesn't have.
(Let us not distort the context: Minato had far less time with Naruto so he couldn't say much. But the emphasis still stands, for he ensured Kushina would have far more time, saying, “There are things that only you can tell him. Things that I can’t. That’s a mother’s role.”)
Tumblr media
Further, Kushina's starkest display of this quirk is while she is pregnant with Naruto. Recalling his promise to her, Edo-Minato thinks back to her rambling about the future traits of their baby. And when he calms her, asking how she could possibly know, she replies with confidence, “Because I’m his mother.” Look at the manner in which she says it here below: her expression reads, "Well, duh." She is fully convinced that their baby is a boy and that he will want to be Hokage, that he will act up when his father is busy and be a little trouble-maker.
Tumblr media
And she works herself into a state over it, showing her intuition and empathy. She envisions Naruto acting out to get attention when feeling deprived due to Minato's work. She envisions how this will further affect his behavior, leading him to "defy his teachers" and so on. What we see is a display of how deeply she can read others, and what is played in the fretting-mom sense gets passed to the child in her womb. The intuition and empathy by which this baby will peer into people's hearts and expose their desires and philosophies, expressed through his talk-no-jutsu.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Why is this so crucial? Because Kushina is a ‘type’ for the “child of prophecy” too. Naruto is Minato’s legacy as rescuer; he is Kushina’s as redeemer. Two aspects wholly intertwined in him achieving their dream of peace.
And on that note, we can now delve further into internal conflicts – beginning with Minato journeying on his personal redemption arc.
Section B, Part III here.

You get me, being a bottom naru enthusiast on tumblr is hell cuz all the top meta blogs are narusasu stans and I really don't understand why sasuke would bottom just cuz to them he is framed as a heroine? Also hate when they compare sasuke to kushina even tho they are not even similar. Only one similar to kushina is naruto her son, but since they want sasuke to be a bottom so bad they make him parallel kushina smh. Anyways
Do you have some good bottom naruto fic recs?
Im not so much a bottom naruto fan as I am a top sasuke fan. I don't think Sasuke submits in any form so he naturally tops which means nart has to bottom. Don't think Nart would feel some type of way about it as some NS-ers would say.
I also don't understand him being framed as a heroine. He's the antagonist/deuteragonist of the story. Heroine is like Princess Peach. Damsel in distress with no objective outside of being saved (yes, I know heroines have improved in media as of late but you all know exactly what I mean). If you think Sasuke functions as the heroine of Naruto, get outta here. He doesn't fit the usual description, mostly bc he's a MAN lol.
The Kushina parallel is also weird. Naruto is literally Kushina. No one else matches her. Not Sasuke, not Sakura. She's literally described as a habanero pepper while sasuke is cool and chill. They don't look, act or functon alike at all.
I don't read fanfiction much, so no, sorry.

Let's be honest, she is taking all the Sand Siblings, because who breaks up siblings? And also their father is horrible, even if he is the Kage, and their new father (Minato) is also a Kage, so it's not even a downgrade!!
(Minato: My love, they ARE children of the Kage. This will be an international INCIDENT if you kidnap them!
Kushina: *practically glowing with motherly rage* It should be an international incident for how he TREATED THEM!! It's not kidnapping, I am performing a SOCIAL SERVICE.
Minato: *sighs* Yes dear. )
i've seen more than one fix it fic where minato/kushina live and their "fix" for gaara is to just fix his seal and then everyone goes home happy.... but i think-- especially in light of the new minato one shot-- kushina would lose her whole goddamn mind over gaara. you intentionally prevented your child from receiving love? you tried to assassinate your child?!
Kushina: I'M HIS MOM NOW
Minato: Kushina-- no--
Shukaku!Gaara: (screaming in terror/fury as Kushina attempts a hug)

Uzumaki
Tumblr media
Kushina siempre había considerado Uzushio como un lugar tranquilo y aburrido, lleno de hombres viejos con las narices metidas en pergaminos, pero algo extraño se oculta bajo esa aparente tranquilidad. Lentamente, el símbolo de la aldea se vuelve el centro de una obsesión, y empieza a percatarse de que una extraña fuerza se está apoderando de la aldea…
❀"Uzumaki". Junji Ito (1998-1999)
❀"Uzumaki". Higuchinsky (2000)
❀"Naruto". Masashi Kishimoto, Japón (1999-2013)
❀Adaptación: "Uzumaki". Kusubana Yoru (2013)
❀Género: Suspenso, Terror, Romance.
❀Reparto: Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, Personajes originales.
Tumblr media
Ahora, un poco del proceso.
A veces no elegimos el material, el material nos elige a nosotros (?)
No es lo mismo que Naruto pase a ambientarse en un Japón rural que no pasa de los 90s, a que las espirales lleguen al universo ninja.
En este caso, Naruto va a recibir a la película/manga de Uzumaki.
Tumblr media
Kirie Goshima y Shuichi Saito son los protagonistas de Uzumaki. La historia nos habla de su relación y cómo afrontan el problema en que se sume su pueblo.
Yo elegí a Minato Namikaze y Kushina Uzumaki.
Las parejas son diferentes, si bien Kirie y Kushina son valientes y decididas, Kirie es muy tranquila, mientras que Kushina es, pues el habanero sangriento.
Shuichi y Minato se parecen más, chicos de carácter templado, analíticos y, sobre todo, con la idea de que salvar a la chica no significa decidir por ella.
Tumblr media
Elegí a Minato y Kushina porque quería hablar de la destrucción de Uzushiogakure, la aldea natal de Kushina.
Sabemos que, canónicamente, la aldea fue destruida en la vida joven de Kushina, aunque no se especifica el tiempo, ni las circunstancias concretas, si bien se da a entender que sus enemigos la consideraban particularmente peligrosa por sus técnicas desarrolladas.
En este punto, la única imagen que tenemos de esa aldea es precisamente en ruinas, y si lo notan, los pilares y muros tienen talladas inscripciones que pude relacionar con el punto cumbre de Uzumaki (película/manga), con las espirales tomando control del pueblo.
Tumblr media
Eso es específicamente lo que yo quería unir, el MinaKushi fue meramente pretexto.
Los detalles son precisamente eso, detalles, están ahí para enfatizar algo, pero no para que todo gire exclusivamente en eso.
Tumblr media
Aquí se puede aprovechar para sembrar pequeños elementos del canon que puedan cohesionar en la línea, en este caso, sabemos que sí hubo sobrevivientes de Uzushiogakure: los padres de Nagato, y la madre de Karin, además de la propia Kushina.
¿Pasaba algo si no los introducía?
No. Pero #YoLo

Naruto Characters with the best and worst spice tolerance
The best spice tolerance
Rock Lee
He has the best spice tolerance in the Shinobi world, being able to gulp down red curry of death like it’s cereal. Even Suna Nin are in awe at what monstrosities he consumes on a regular. He convinced Gai to try Curry and now they’re regulars at Sunagakure spice markets.
Temari
The spice tolerance of Suna Nin is the highest compared to other countries. So it came by no surprise Temari can tolerate even the hottest spices. But even compared to other Suna Nin, she finds herself adding even more hot sauce to her food.
Tenten
She’s always dousing her dumplings in hot chili oil and sriracha sauce. However, she doesn’t like wasabi or horseradish kind of spicyness. Only the hot pepper kind.
Kushina Uzumaki
She isn’t known as the bloody habanero for no reason. Like all Uzumakis, Kushina adds chili flakes very liberally to her food. Minato had to build his spice tolerance for months to even ask her out on a food date. If she ever saw how miserable her son’s spice tolerance is, she’d be very disappointed.
Sasuke Uchiha
Even though it’s not the best, his spice tolerance is higher than the Konoha average and a lot higher than Itachi’s, which he is very proud of.
The worst spice tolerance
Hashirama Senju
The title of strongest Ninja ever can only bring you so far. Currently, the most losses he took were against the spicy dishes his wife Mito made him.
Hidan
Currently trying to build it more. The pain feels very pleasurable to him but sometimes he bites off more than he can chew. Literally.
Itachi Uchiha
He always makes sure nothing is too hot. He doesn’t like how runny his eyes and nose get when he eats hot food. Sorry spice enthusiasts, but Itachi’s the „Whole grain? But I don’t eat anything spicy“ kinda guy.
Hinata Hyuga
A mid level spicy ramen from Ichiraku is enough to send her crying. Generally, the Hyuga aren’t exactly known for their great spice tolerance, with Neji being the exception, as both of his teammates frequently share their food with him.

Kushina
Tumblr media
she’s strong enough to become kage (hokage)
Kushina is mentally and physically strong, I can see her being a leader or kage, she is brave and fierce is ready to put her life on the line.
GIVE IT UP FOR THE RED HOT HABANERO!!!!
Tumblr media
she’s always ready to sacrifice herself for her loved ones as we have already seen this Naruto and Minato.
Tumblr media
As a Uzumaki, she has huge chakra reserves, stamina, and longevity.
Tumblr media
she was talented and knowledgeable in fūinjutsu. She even taught Minato fūinjutsu which included Four Symbols Seal and Eight Trigrams Sealing Style etc.
.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
 survived Kurama’s extraction which is impressive considering that Naruto almost died because of that.
Tumblr media
even after giving birth to Naruto and getting Kurama extracted, still had the power to restrain Kurama.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
her weak version, she gave birth and had Kurama extracted because there's no feat for her strongest version (when she's ya'know not half dead). When a character is already powerful at their weakest version then we can consider them really powerful.
the portion of chakra she left in Naruto was enough to help him get KCM1.
Tumblr media
 really skilled at Ninjutsu and Fuinjutsu. Fourth databook her nature release Wind, Water and Yin Release
Ch 367
Tumblr media
if there’s ever a side story the Uzumaki deserve more shine. Also wonder how Kushina used her ninjutsu and fuinjutsu. Also memories of her country
she’s easily Kage level.
side note:
 Kushina wasn’t really all that serious about becoming Hokage, at least not until she fell in love with Minato.
Tumblr media
Didn't have anything to do with Minato wanted to become the Hokage as well and she just didn’t want to compete with him.
Tumblr media
she wanted to impress everyone.
Kushina is like Naruto looking for the respect and the acknowledgement of everyone, but by meeting Minato, someone who saved and supported her through her lonely life, she just didn’t care about recognition anymore, she had a great person by her side and that was enough for her.
Tumblr media
 Naruto wanted that also, recognition but he never stopped wanting to become the Hokage because over the years, he made friends he cares about and he realized that he didn’t need to become the Hokage to have that.
Like Itachi said: Becoming Hokage isn’t about acknowledgement, he realized how important his friends are.
Tumblr media
Without them, Naruto would be like Obito, that’s why he can’t lose them.
 Naruto realize that he had to become Hokage to protect his village and friends.
One of the many characters/clans that deseverd more screentime. I will always throw shade at the Uchiha clan lmao.
Sometimes we need more than just snippets in the past especially when a certain characters play a role and clan has a alot meaning

Y'wanna know what genderbent character would be a really attractive fellow? Kushina! I don't think I've ever seen a drawing like that for the fiery habanero; I should really get on that! (Also I agree, the Castlevania guys are so nice to look at. Like, Alucard? Alucard tho... 👀👀👀)
I don’t think I’ve seen a genderbent Kushina either 🤔
Alucard is next level but something about Dracula loving so deeply, being more patient than I would have EVER been, and getting revenge is EXTREMELY attractive too 👀
