Our shark daddy SERVING LOOKS in Naruto Mobile game. This is almost what i imagine while reading hot fanfictions about him😭💙

[antisasukeretsudenantisasusaku]

Sakura would have NEVER noticed Sasuke if he wasn’t beautiful.

Ino,Tenten and all other girls too,but right now we are talking about Sakura.

Sakura does not even know that Sasuke does not wear glasses—Sakura doesn’t know Sasuke at all.

To love someone you must actually understand and know that person:this is why people from same background,culture, social class get along so well and smoothly.

Sakura and Sasuke can not understand each other because they have nothing in common.

Sasuke is the heir and the only survivor of ancient powerful shinobi clan.

Sakura is a clanless low class civilian.

Sasuke is a victim of Konoha dictatorship and its regime.

Sakura benefits from Konoha regime,if not for the system, Sakura would have never allowed to become a kunoichi.

Sasuke lost everyone he ever truly loved.

Sakura never knew loss in her whole life.

If Sasuke’s was fat,if Sasuke was short,if Sasuke didn’t have a beautiful face and clean skin,if Sasuke also wasn’t talented and skilled shinobi,Sakura would have never bothered chasing him.

Sakura only wants Sasuke for his beauty and talent,she doesn’t love him,she lusts over Uchiha.

The main reason why Sakura rejected Lee is because Rock is ugly.

And Naruto Sakura rejected because he is not quite as dashing as Sasuke and you guessed it—ugly.

Here's why this is important Spending time with the right people is not only important for your mental state but also for your success. You become what's around you if all of your friends are lazy, it's hard

[mantizimus]

First Date HCs

Masashi Sudoh

It'll take him a while, but he'll be able to find a free moment in his schedule.

Being completely inexperienced in the romantic vein, Masashi uses various sources of information to find the perfect option.

In the end, you decide not to bother and just sit at a cafe.

Despite having no idea what the hell he should be doing, he manages to act calm and casual.

Masashi pays for the entire meal, like a true gentleman.

Throughout your date, you both talked pleasantly with each other about a variety of topics.

By the time it came to an end, you both came to the same conclusion: this was the best date of your lives.

Sudoh would hardly be lying if he said that he enjoyed spending time with you. No manipulation, no fear of saying more than necessary, just time with the person he loves.

[nejiwasalwaysright]

@cloudaintfair-archive So,this stupid brainless fool came to my askbox throwing a tantrum,but quickly shitted yourself and ran away 🤭

So,what it said is:

🤡:Neji is a cold blooded monster who almost murdered hinata for no reason at all! hinata is innocent and her only sin is being born into the main branch!

Do you bitch see how NARUTO encourages hinata to risk her health and life and to fight Neji for meaningless to hinata moral ideas?

Do you cunt see how hinata shits herself and demands Neji to fight her?

How fucking even dare you to bark at Neji after all of this?

Opposites Attract- Masashi x Jun's sister!Reader

Return to File

Recovery date: January 13th, 2025

Description: I can't stop thinking about masashi being in a relationship with jun's lil sis. Tetsujun duo 2.0? Yes please🙏

Notes: Recovered in conjunction with an anonymous researcher, we thank them for their contributions. Since you said tetsujun, they are a couple in this. Jun loves his little sister, and no one will ever be good enough for her.

Word count: 1 178

Back to directory

“You know I love you, right?” Jun asked, eyes never straying from the game on TV.

He and Tetsu were snuggled together on the couch of their little apartment, watching a live baseball game. Tetsu’s laptop was open on the coffee table, a half written paper abandoned despite him claiming he could write it and watch the game. Jun had no such misgivings, and his manga had been abandoned as soon as the game started.

Tetsu looked down at him, frowning.

“Of course.”

“And I love your family. Especially Masashi, you know, he’s your little brother and I have a little sister so I totally get what it’s like.”

“Okay?”

Jun craned his head to look up at Tetsu. “But he is so not good enough for my sister.”

“Ah, that’s what this is about.”

Jun sat up and flipped over to the other side of the couch so he was facing his boyfriend. Tetsu didn’t move but turned to face him.

“I mean-”

—

Masashi sneezed.

“Bless you,” Y/n laughed, holding out a tissue. “You aren’t getting sick, are you?”

He shook his head, taking the tissue and blowing his nose. Masashi set it aside and resummed eating his lunch. The two were sitting in their classroom, waiting for the other second years to join them.

Y/n’s phone dinged with a text from Seto saying the two catchers had been kidnapped by Sawamura and that the couple could start eating without them. She snorted and took a picture of Masashi, already halfway through his first lunch box. He stopped chewing and raised a brow in question just as the shutter went off and Y/n began laughing.

She shook her head, body shaking with laughter as she sent the picture to Seto.

“I’ll be back,” she said, finally catching her breath.

She kissed his cheek and headed for the door, missing the way Masashi’s cheeks flushed. He lowered his head and quickly finished his bite.

“Wait for me,” he called, and Y/n stopped by the door.

Masashi put the lid on his lunch and jogged over to her, letting her lead them up to the third year’s floor.

They stepped into the hall, and Y/n began her tirade.

“Sawamura-senpai!” She yelled, sprinting down the hall and slamming his classroom door open. 

Masashi took his time following her, apologizing to the people in the other classes who stuck their heads out.

Inside the classroom, Sawamura and the others jumped at the loud noise. Furuya’s sleepy spit bubble popped and Sawamura groaned in pain as he slammed his knee into the desk. Yui let out a long tired sigh, used to Y/n’s outbursts, and Okumura glared at her.

“Tiny spitz!”

“You are interrupting my lunch! Return Yui and Okumura or I will be forced to take back my manga!” “What? No! I’m going to read it tonight!”

“Then give me back my catchers!”

“They’re my catchers!”

“No-OW!”

Kanemaru landed a hard chop to the top of Y/n’s head, then grabbed her by the back of her uniform and pulled her out of the doorway. Masashi wrapped an arm around one of hers to prevent her from entering a physical altercation.

“Both of you shut up! You’re interrupting everyone’s lunches!”

“Why am I getting yelled at?!”

“Because you're yelling!”

“Well so are you!” Sawamura yelled back.

This was a fairly regular occurrence. Sawamura had no volume control, and Y/n frequented the floor to swap manga with the pitcher.

Masashi began to pull Y/n along back to the stairs.

“Hey! Masashi! I’m not done!”

“Yes, you are, we’re going to eat lunch.”

“But what about the others.”

“They’re clearly having lunch with Sawamura and Furuya-senpai.”

“Agh, fine,” Y/n grumbled. “You win this one Sawamura-senpai!”

“Stop yelling!”

Sawamura’s head poked out of his classroom and around Kanemaru. “I’ll return your manga tomorrow! OW!”

Kanemaru chopped the top of the pitcher’s head before marching back to his own classroom.

Y/n dropped back into her seat with a loud sigh, then propped her chin in her hand as she leaned forward on the desk. Masashi opened his second lunch, a faint smile pulling at his lips. He picked up a small piece of meat and some rice from the first container before holding it out to Y/n.

The girl blinked in surprise, cheeks darkening in embarrassment as she looked to the side.

“You should try your cooking,” he urged.

“I tried it when I was cooking, plus you’ve eaten with those chopsticks.”

“So?”

“So it’s an indirect kiss!” The girl exclaimed, ignoring the way everyone turned to the two in the corner.

“You kiss my cheek all the time.”

“That’s different.” Y/n huffed, crossing her arms and leaning back as she looked out the window.

Masashi shrugged, eating the food.

“What do you think?” Y/n asked softly.

Swallowing, Masashi looked thoughtful for a moment. “It’s good.”

This time, their lunch was interrupted by Masashi’s phone ringing. He looked around, finding the room mostly empty, and swiped to accept the call.

“Hel-”

“You better not be hanging out with my-Aak!”

“Sorry, Jun stole my phone. I’ll let you get back to lunch,” Tetsu’s voice came through, but Masashi could still hear Jun complaining in the background.

“Is that your brother?” Y/n asked. “Tell him I say hi, oh, and tell him to tell Jun I say hi.”

Though it was muffled, Masashi heard Jun yell out in the background, “Is that my sister? Tell her she can do better than your brother!”

Tetsu must have turned away from the phone because his reply was muffled.

“I will not be doing that.”

Masashi covered the receiver and leaned away from the phone.

“Your brother doesn’t like me.”

“Oh not this again,” Y/n sighed. “Can I see your phone?”

Masashi nodded, and handed it over. Y/n had Tetsu put her brother on next.

“Jun quit being a baby! What’s wrong with Masashi, huh?”

“You could do better!”

“Uh-huh, like?” Jun said nothing to her, but he started grumbling to himself. “Ya, that’s what I thought. Now I need to eat, I’ll call you tonight. Love you.”

Masashi hears Jun respond as Y/n hands the phone back. When he puts it to his ear, Tetsu is back on the line and asks if he needs anything.

“No, have a good day.”

“You too.”

Masashi hangs up and puts his phone away.

Y/n takes out her lunch, it’s the same as the one she packed for Masashi, and begins to eat.

“Don’t take anything he says to heart. He does like you.”

Masashi nods. “Tetsu says that too. I would like to win his approval as your boyfriend though.”

Y/n looked thoughtful for a moment, then said, “Consult a romance manga, he loves those things.”

Perhaps Y/n should have been more clear that he should pursue her with the guidance of a romance manga, because the next time they visit Jun and Tetsu, Masashi gives Jun a bouquet of flowers.

Koji + Date Night

Valentine's Day Shorts

Masterlist

‎

sorry this took so long anon! hope you like it ahhhh it-it's still feb right? im already starting to miss writing about Boss and her boys :’) this is non-canon to my au unfortunately

Koji has never thought of himself as any kind of lucky; having to disown your own family generally wasn't considered praiseworthy, nor was losing your eyes worth an extra offering at the shrines in thanks. Yet the Red Dragonflies captain couldn’t quite find it in himself to curse the absent gods either - after all, going blind was what led him to you. Or rather you to him.

But yesterday night was the first time it seemed that karma didn't in fact hate him, that his life's only purpose wasn't to suffer and pay for the sins of a previous life. The air had been unusually cold for spring, and combined with already old night, the normally welcomed wind was biting and chilling.

Yet even with the numbing breeze, everything else seemed to faint away into the background when you started to speak.

“Would you like to- do you want to go out on a date with me?” Your voice soft and gentle, unsure even. A vast difference from just a mere hour ago where you had fearlessly faced down a turf-stealing gang, your tone cold and unforgiving.

You couldn't help but let slip the bubbling laughter as your Third Division Captain instantly froze, his mind whirling. Were you asking him? Or was the question directed at someone else around him that he couldn't hear? But as your giggles pierced the quiet and lifeless streets, Koji nearly jumped out of his skin when your hand came to rest lightly on his own. "I'm asking you, silly."

"M-me?" He could feel his face instantly burning red, his cheeks feeling hot enough to be used as a campfire to probably warm your freezing hands in this chilly night. "Like n-now?"

You hummed, a single note that only seemed to cause more blood to rush to his face. "Well, I suppose now is as good a time as any, don't you Koji? It is Valentine's Day." All the uncertainly seemed to have evaporated from your voice, and you sounded more like your usual self, more like the Boss he knew. Determined, firm, and unwavering.

He couldn't say no, could he? Not to you. Not ever.

"I suppose I do have some time now." A small smirk quirked the corner of his lips, and he cheekily tapped his cane against the back of your legs. You squealed in response, and any tension that had been present was gone, lost in the moment. "Lead the way, oh great Boss."

"How bold!" You huffed, as if it wasn't you who asked first.

Your gentle hand slipped down into his as you led him down the familiar alleys and backstreets that winded behind and around the city; destination still unknown despite. Right then was when more desperately then ever, the black-haired boy could only wish and pray that he could see what you looked like, to know what your kind smile and warm laugh looked like. The first time he regretted more than ever that life stole his sight from him.

But then again, maybe it was life's way of bringing the two of you together. And tonight's date night - maybe it would be worth it all.

Hello (again lol) Can I request Ne Zha x fem pregnant reader please? :3 ✨

Ne Zha's Fem! S/O Being Pregnant

Character: Ne Zha Requester: @bellatrix2901 A/N: While many say that Ne Zha is a minor (specifically around 12), he is a deity, meaning he has lived for thousands of years. He is portrayed as an older adult/teenager, so we're going off of his canonical age and his status as immortal, yet-youthful looking man. ⚠️ Spoilers/Trigger Warnings for: NONE ⚠️

••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●•

»»————————————-　 Ne Zha 　————————————-««

🪷 The sound of a pair of geta sandals hitting the ground over and over echoed in the building. And with the sound of rushing water, many would believe this to be a calm environment, oh how wrong were they

🪷 Pacing around you and Ne Zha's shared halls, a nervous whisper rummaged throughout your head; did Ne Zha want a child?

🪷 Eventually, you ran into one of your oldest servants, whom looked at you and laid a hand gently on your shoulder, making you turn to look at her. Small tears were threatening to fall from your eyes, and the elderly woman smiled and offered her arms for you to cry into

"Masashi..." you began, "do you think Ne Zha would even- you know- want a child around the house? I mean, he's a deity with a lot of responsibilities, would a kid and pregnant wife be too much?"

🪷 Masahi looked into your eyes with her narrowing blue ones and chuckled, a slightly hoarse voice coming out as she spoke

"Lord Ne Zha would never see you or your child as a burden. He loves you more than anyone else I have seen. And I've been breathing for 68 years. Take that for experience."

🪷 You smiled and nodded at the woman you saw as a Grandmother. Her smile always lit up a room, despite her constant battle with illnesses, she never stopped working, despite your pleas. She was a fighter and was very observant, so hearing this made you settle slightly

🪷 In the next couple weeks, Masashi readied you for when Ne Zha came home. It had been 14 weeks, and your baby bump was slightly showing through your long pink and blue dress. And while you were slightly nervous, the presence of Masashi calmed you

🪷 Here goes nothing.

»–•–«

"Would you like anything to feast on, my Lord and Lady?"

🪷 Looking up and smiling at the well-dressed man, you asked for a mooncake with soy sauce. Which while the servant found it normal and didn't react, Ne Zha looked at you in surprise and confusion. A mooncake with soy sauce?

"I'll just take a cup of sakura tea."

"Alrighty then. Your mooncake and teas will be out here momentarily, my Lord and Lady."

🪷 You smiled and looked back at your husband, who sighed and interlocked your fingers with his. You could tell he was tired and in desperate need of a nap or at least a happy story

🪷 Mustering up your courage, you thanked the servants who brought your food and tea before clearing your throat and saying the deity's name. His eye's sight connected with yours and he hummed, a signal for you to speak

"Do you remember those young deities who ran around the fields with large amounts of sakura flowers in their hands, just throwing them around and smiling like- well, children?" You asked.

"Yes. I remember them like it was yesterday. Holding a freshly fallen basket of the petals, I have to admit, it was quite endearing seeing them playing and being the children they are."

🪷 You smiled once again and chuckle at his eyes widening slightly as he spoke, he may not show it often, but he was truly a sweetheart. Despite what many like Sun Wukong said

🪷 Laying your teacup down on the saucer and onto the tabletop, you adjusted your position before mumbling a slight 'screw it' and walking to sit beside your husband, making him cock an eyebrow and summon a pillow for you to sit on again

🪷 Reaching out to hold his hands, Ne Zha looked at you in confusion and slight shock once more. What were you doing? And why were you holding his hands to your stomach?

🪷 Wait... is that a slight bump...? It cannot be...

"Y/N are you..."

"Pregnant? Yes. And don't worry, it's not Wukong's. I think I'd die with his hell-spawn in me."

🪷 Ne Zha stared at you in shock before you noticed his eyes watering over and begin to spill tears. The smile that covered his face made you smile yourself

🪷 Wrapping his arms around you tightly, Ne Zha began to sniffle and choke on his happy cries. He was going to be a father! Why would he ever be mad?

[correctingstupidbitch]

Another day,another stupid bitch trying to force Neji to look like a villain by twisting manga and taking manga pages out of the canon settings and context.

“Sakura is a horrible person for making fun of Naruto for being an orphan”

Let's see what other characters did when they were the same age as Sakura

Naruto :

Disguised himself into Sasuke to kiss Sakura without her consent

Mocked Sasuke's dead clan

Ino :

Fat-shamed Choji even though he's made it clear multiple times he hates being called fat

Neji :

Humiliated Hinata, who already had low self esteem, in front of everyone

Attempted to kill her to punish her for something which wasn't her fault

Shikamaru :

Unapologetically misogynist and generalised all women

Sasuke :

Tried to kill his best friend in the name of power

Funny how all these characters were of Sakura's age did something as equally bad as her or worse yet only Sakura gets shit for it. Hypocrisy?

They were kids, who were naive and didn't have the maturity to act the wisest (in Sakura, Naruto, Ino and Shikamaru's case) or traumatised with no one to properly help them (in Sasuke's and Neji's case) and all of them eventually grew up and became better.

It's ridiculous to still hold Sakura for saying something insensitive in her childhood.

Bonus :

She immediately regrets after Sasuke calls her out but y'all probably don't remember it.

ViVi Magazine, June 2024 Issue ft. Murakami Erica, Watanabe Aoto & Ikeda Masashi (translations below)

Publication: 4/23/2024

The King-Ohger co stars are a friendly trio Murakami Erica x Watanabe Aoto x Ikeda Masashi

Enjoying genderless "share t-shirts"

If you incorporate a unisex t-shirt into your outfit, you can achieve an easy, high end fashionable look 💛. It's also nice to share and enjoy them together with your boyfriend or friends.

Q: Tell us about a recent TMI (too much info)

Ikeda: For me, my chapstick always ends up somewhere before it's used up. Where does it always go?!

Erica: I've been busy moving across the country due to my family's relocation! I decluttered more than 10 bags during the cleanup. I think luck is coming my way 💛

Watanabe: TMI……you mean like blood sugar level?! Ah, that's not it either (laughs). My allergies act up during the first week of pollen season, but after that I'm fine. There are other people like that, right?

Q: What do you want to do this Spring?

Erica: I want to relax in the shade of a tree when it becomes warmer. I want to buy some dangos and donuts and spend my time watching movies and dramas.

Watanabe: Cherry blossom viewing. It's so fleeting when the cherry blossoms fall……(he gently holds Ikeda's hand). I'd like to eat a handmade bento while taking in the scent of Spring…(he gazes at Ikeda).

Ikeda: I'd like to challenge myself to go camping. Things like outdoor BBQ's are just the best, aren't they? At night, with Aoto beside me, we'd talk while looking at the stars……

Watanabe: In the tent, Masashi and I would be curled up in the same blanket. It gets cold at night, so…..

Erica: Alright, that's enough of that!! (laughs). _

"Introduce each other to the ViVi readers!"

Ikeda: Erieri's (Erica) face is really too small! Her skull's a champion. She's the big sister among the King-Ohger members.

Watanabe: Yeah. She's an airhead, but very caring!

Erica: Eh~ Thank you 💛. Aoto feels like the kind older brother, while Masashi is the second oldest who says too much.

Watanabe: Masashi is by far the whitest! He's like a reflector, illuminating everywhere he goes (laughs).

"What do you think of today's t-shirts?"

Erica: I like the loose fit. The shoulders are dyed unevenly, giving it a cute vintage look! I think you can wear it with denim for a masculine look, or match it with a miniskirt!

Ikeda: My "remake t-shirt" has a zipper and alternate designs that give off the feeling of an incomplete main character. This is cute on its own, but the jacket wrapped around the waist gives it a more feminine look.

Watanabe: Heart motifs worn by men are pretty rare, right? Depending on your hair style, you can wear it as cool or cute!

"If you exchanged t-shirts, how would you wear them?"

Erica: If I were to wear Aoto's heart t-shirt, I'd wear it with a mini skirt, lace socks, and mary janes for a "naughty girly" look!

Ikeda: If I were to wear Erieri's t-shirt, I'd make use of colors and patterns to create a one tone look!

Watanabe: Then, I'll wear Masashi's remake t-shirt with a unique hat and shoes to give it alittle more character. I want to go to a theme park while looking good. _

[nejihyugaisgod]

I love how you dumb bitch block me because you know that I am right and you are ashamed of yourself and don’t want others to see you spreading bullshit

I also love how you bring up a complaterely irrelevant discussion about blackwashing and whitewashing because you are trying to make me look bad

Changing canon race author gave the character is dumb no matter which way do you do that and I don’t care what idiots,who try be “trendy” and “progressive” think

Crazy how with HIASHI STILL BEING THE HYUGA CLANHEAD disgusting hinatafans like you still have the audacity to claim that “Hyuga clan changed and side Hyuga branch is now free”

Show me manga panels where caged bird seal was removed and never used again,where side Hyuga branch members have free access to all the Hyuga jutsu like main branch does.

The fact itself that hanabi is still the heir,that hinata is still mentioned to be main Hyuga branch member,the existing of main Hyuga branch itself highlights that the Hyuga clan is still divided into branches shows that all these lies about equality are bullshit.

Even in The Last we see hiashi using side branch members as his bodyguards and their foreheads are covered,so there is absolutely no ground to yapp that “Naruto changed the Hyuga clan”,we never even see any side Hyuga branch members in Boruto manga or film.

最強の五人一組!! 岸本斉史×KANA-BOON スペシャル対談!!!

The ultimate five-member team!! Masashi Kishimoto x KANA-BOON. Special interview!!!

原作者・岸本斉史先生と映画あんアージ主題歌を担当するKANA-BOONの4人が映画への想いを語る。

The original author, Masashi Kishimoto, and the four members of KANA-BOON, who sing the theme song for the movie, talk about their thoughts on the movie.

岸本先生とKANA-BOON「NARUTOナルト』を熱く語る!が

Kishimoto-sensei and KANA-BOON talk passionately about "NARUTO"!

KANABOONのみなさんは「NARUTO-ナルト-」ファンだとお聞きしました。作品との出会いをお聞かせください!

We heard that everyone at KANABOON is a “Naruto” fan. Please tell us about your encounter with the series!

古賀:僕はWJで途中から「NARUTO-ナルト-」 連載を読み始めたんです。そこからハマって本を買ったのが出会いでした。

谷口: 僕も出会いはWJですね。ハマってからはずっとアニメも見ていました。中忍試験の話が すごく好きです。

小泉: 僕は最初から単行本派でした。書店に行っ 表紙を見て、ってところに惹かれてジャ ケ買いしました。

Koga: I started reading the "NARUTO" serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump halfway through. I got hooked and started buying the book, and that's how I first encountered it.

Taniguchi: I also first encountered it through Weekly Shonen Jump. After I got hooked, I continued to watch the anime. I really like the story about the Chuunin Exams.

Koizumi: I was a book reader from the very beginning. I went to the bookstore, saw the cover, and was drawn to it, so I bought it right away.

岸本:漫画をジャケ買い!?!?

Kishimoto: Buying the manga just for the cover!?!?

小泉:そうです(笑)。僕は昔、野球をやっていたんですけど、全然レギュラーをとれなくて。でもナルトから「鶼めずに頑張る」という気持 ちを教えてもらったんです。

Koizumi: That's right (laughs). I used to play baseball, but I could never make it to the regular lineup. But Naruto taught me the spirit of "keep trying your best and not giving up."

飯田:僕の場合は、アニメから入りました。 アニメ第1話を見て、の第1話を見て、「これはやばい!」と思って単行本を買って、再不斬・白戦がもう・・・

Meshida: In my case, I started with the anime. I watched the first episode of the anime, and after watching the first episode, I thought, "This is amazing!" and bought the manga volumes. And the fight between Zabuza and Kakashi was just...

「NARUTO-ナルト-」で好きなキャラは誰ですか?

Who is your favorite Naruto character?

谷口:ヒナタです。

Taniguchi: Hinata

岸本:えつが大きい子が好きなの?(笑)

Kishimoto: You like big-breasted girls, eh? (laughs)

谷口:そこじゃないです(笑)。最初は弱虫だった ヒナタが、ナルトに影響を受けてどんどん強く なっていくのが好きなんです。

Tanaguchi: It's not that (laughs). I like how Hinata, who was a weakling at first, gradually becomes stronger under Naruto's influence.

岸本:ヒナタは、普通のヒロインの様に主人公の 欄ではなく、から見てるタイプですからね。

Kishimoto: Hinata isn't the type that stands by the main character like a typical heroine, but rather watches from the sidelines.

ヒロインはサクラだと思っていました。

I thought Sakura was the heroine

岸本:そうですね、でもサクラはサスケ中毒ですから(笑)。ヒナタがナルトを好きになる理由は明 確ですが、サクラがサスケを好きになる理由は えていません(笑)。なんだか逆に嘘くさくなるような気がしたので。

Kishimoto: Yes, but Sakura is addicted to Sasuke (laughs). I know why Hinata is in love with Naruto but I have no idea why Sakura is in love with Sasuke (laughs). On the contrary, I felt like it sounded like a lie.

Kishimoto called Sakura 中毒ですから (chūdokudesukara), 中毒 means poisoning or addiction. Basically saying she's a junkie or a drug abuser, addicted to something harmful to her.

小泉:先生の莢街を聞くのは面白いですね!ちなみに僕はチョウジが好きです。

Koizumi: It's interesting to hear your thoughts, sensei! By the way I like Choji.

岸本:チョウジのことを好きな人はそんなにい ないです。だから小泉さんは変わっているなと 思いました。でも僕は、「デブにだってカッコイイ ところはあるぞ!」という想いを込めて、気合い を入れてチョウジを描いたんです。チョウジのエ ピソードも結構気に入ってます。く原作到190話要(笑)実は、「NARUTO-ナルト-」の第1部を連鉱しているときに、一番人気だった因なんです。

Kishimoto: There aren't many people who like Chouji. That's why I thought Koizumi-san was a bit strange. But I put my heart into drawing Choji with the thought, "Even a chubby guy can be cool!" I'm quite fond of Choji's episode as well. It took 190 chapters of the original work (laughs). In fact, when we were working on the first part of "NARUTO", he was the most popular character.

小泉:僕もまさしくそのシーンで好きになりました! 普段はすごくマイペースなのに、友達を 馬鹿にされたときに怒るところが、すごく格好 よかったです。

Koizumi: I also fell in love with him because of that scene! He's usually very laid back,  so it was really cool to see him get angry when his friend was made fun of.

古賀:僕はロック・リーが好きです。

小泉:リーはカッコイイよね!

古賀:カッコイイ!やっぱり忍術が使えない中で体術でねじ伏せようとするのがすごい。ナルトよりも努力してきた感じがします。

Koga: I like Rock Lee

Koizumi: Lee is so cool!

Koga: Cool! It's amazing how he tries to overpower his opponent with taijutsu despite not being able to use ninjutsu. It feels like he's put in more effort than Naruto.

岸本:リーは、鋭の主人公的存在です。現実での勉強と同じように『NARUTO-ナルト-」の世界では忍術が大事。だけどそれがまったくできない。僕自身も得意ではない���で、リーにはすごく共感できるんです。だからリーが好きだと言われると嬉しいです。

Kishimoto: Lee is a quintessential protagonist. Just like studying in real life, ninjutsu is important in the world of "NARUTO." But he can't do it at all. Since I'm not good at it either, I can really relate to Lee. That's why I'm happy when people say they like Lee.

古賀:ギターをやるうえでも、リンクする部分が あるんです。

Koga: Similar to playing guitar as well.

岸本:でも古賀さんはギターもできて・・・結構モテるんじゃないですか? 勉強できそうな顔をし ているし、あまり説得力がないなあ(笑)

Kishimoto: But Koga-san can play guitar... you must be quite popular, right? You look like you can study, so that's not very convincing (laughs)

古賀:そんなことないです!(笑)

Koga: That's not true! (laughs)

飯田:質問なんですけど、リーってどうやってアカデミーを卒業したんですか? 分身の術、できないですもんね?

Meshida: I have a question. How did Lee graduate from the Academy? He can't use the shadow clone technique, right?

岸本:別の試験のときに受かったんだと思いま

Kishimoto: I think he passed with a different test.

LMFAO Kishimoto was caught off guard with Meshida's question.
