Cold ass take but had Tsunade not spent 30 years grieving and instead spent it grinding she would clear the Naruto verse. 8 gates is a perfect compliment to her fighting style and had she mastered it she could use it without drawbacks. oh her leg broke, she’s near death having reached her limit? no problem she uses 100 healing jutsu and is ready for round 2. this is why i think sakura still has the most potential for growth and could easily pass Naruto and Sasuke. You give her 8 gates and she’s SWEEPING Madara

You know if they were gonna keep the shinobi system relatively unchanged they at least should have given us team seven with genin teams of their own. You’re telling me Sai is the only one of them who becomes a jonin-sensei? Naruto would fucking love to be a teacher are you kidding me the most important people in his life were his teachers. And you know he’d be terrible at it too
#like. I know in boruto the running joke with sai’s team is that they’re always learning techniques WAY above what genin should know#(because of sai’s ANBU training)#but I think that the other members of team seven should get that chance too#. Sakura teaching her kids water walking like okay if you’re good at this you can start building up to your 1000 healings mark.#her genin are like Sensei we’re twelve#I want to see Sasuke stuck in the hospital with chakra exhaustion and his team VERY worried for him and he has to grudgingly accept their#affection. I want to see it so bad#they should have let ME write boruto#naruto

Borushiki Red Idea Mockup edit
I had a dream that there was a Boruto filler movie where he was fighting an Otsutsuki & somehow the Otsutsuki was able to draw out Momoshiki more by force & Boruto became the antagonist by being forcefully made Otsutsuki and it was like 2 bright red horns & the Ōtsutsuki skin parts were like a red/pink from being wrongfully/forcefully extracted or whatever but not bloody, just pink/red in hue. It was basically a red Borushiki mode will full powers & a sort of reddish discoloration where his Otsutsuki skin was. It might have been some sort of Otsutsuki control power from a higher up member of the clan since there was a more powerful antagonist He's being mind controlled by a higher level Otsutsuki clan member (similar to how genjutsu can control people). The higher lvl Otsutsuki clan member had long black hair and a Kinshiki-esc body. Uses a mind control chakra technique that only works on other Otsutsuki & because of Boruto being anatomically a high lvl of Otsutsuki it works on him. IIRC Kawashiki & Team 7 had to fight him and the Otsutsuki clan member, sadly I don't remember how it all went though. :/ - (10/09/2022)
#had this idea a while back just got around to posting about it#it came to me in a dream & then I only shared it in a naruto storm modding discord server 😂#I put a lot of effort into getting the horns right so please appreciate them 💖💜#otsutsuki clan level genjutsu type of technique that works on less strong members#that kind of sort of actually happened in the manga#but just not like how it happened in my dream#but yeah this is my anime filler movie idea!#naruto fanart#boruto fanart#boruto naruto next generations#naruto#boruto#mine#op#boruto uzumaki#uzumaki boruto#my art#my edit#my edits

chapter 140
man I really love konoha's aesthetic
a) they’re at a dango store... b) kakashi is right there???
girl he has a SHARINGAN
ok to be fair the sharingan hasn’t been established to have genjutsu powers yet, just the copying/seeing good stuff. Kakashi’s genjutsu in wave I think was just a regular one, not a special sharingan one? So it’s probably itachi being good at genjutsu that led to the sharingan developing that stuff in canon and it wasn’t originally conceived with that in mind. also I don't think it was ever canon that sharingan can see through genjustu, just that it can control people through eye contact?
#naruto reread#lore#the fandom is too mean to kurenai for using genjutsu against itachi....#like this was before the sharingan was written to have all those extra powers INCLUDING being able to cast genjutsu#it was originally only supposed to be able to make you see better and copy movements not whatever swiss army technique kishi starts pulling#from nowhere#(no I'm not bitter about sasuke using the sharingan to erase memories in that one boruto filler why do you ask)#and either way it's not like the sharingan makes you immune to genjutsu#and it's her speciality so how would she know it'd be countered so easily?#also itachi isn't notorious for casting genjutsu he's notorious for killing his whole family#and he was in anbu for a large part of his career then in a secret organization so he's not exactly flaunting his skills#like people know who he is but they won't have a memorized list of all his strengths yknow#...call me the no 1 kurenai defender ig

Three's a Crowd (But Four...) - G.S.

Synopsis. “So, are they like holograms? Or can you really touch them?” “Why? Trynna cop a feel, sweetheart?” In which you and your boyfriend find very unconventional uses for his powers.
Pairing. Gojo Satoru x Reader
Content. MDNI, fem! reader, established relationship, foursome (but they’re all Satoru + you LMFAO), NSFW, unprotected sex, double penetration, spit-roasting, face-sitting, doggy, missionary, anal, pet names (sweetheart, pretty, babe), oral sex (male + female receiving), overstimulation (female), swearing, slight breeding kink, cum (like lots).
Word count. 3.0k
A/N. A lil' sum while I get on with a 10k arranged marriage fic. H O R N Y >>> actual JJK technicalities.
Jokes, but idc what that technique was, I took that one chapter and ran with it. Art by @_3aem on X.
Cross-posted on AO3

“They just nerfed Naruto in Boruto cuz they knew he’d be too DILF-y.”
“Amen.”
Sprawled out on Satoru’s couch, both of you were fixated on the Naruto episode playing on-screen. It wasn’t anything new for a Friday night. His soft hairs tickling your chin, and legs dangling off the other end of the couch as he lay atop, cuddling you like a 6’3 housecat.
Times like this, it’s easy to forget that your boyfriend constantly bears the burden of being “the strongest”. That is- until Satoru, eyes still locked onto the screen, speaks up “I can do that too, y’know.”
You turn to look at Satoru, “Do what?”
He nods his head towards the screen - now showing young Naruto mastering his iconic technique. “You could call it Shadow Clone Jutsu.” he hums.
Raising a brow, “So you could make tens of thousands of Satoru clones? The world may never know rest.”
Eyes brimming with smugness, he grins “Something like that.”
You cock your head, wanting to know more, “So, are they like holograms? Or can you really touch them?”
“Why? Trynna cop a feel, sweetheart?” he wiggles his brows in a way that would definitely be creepy if it was anyone but Satoru.
“You wish.”
Satoru huffs out a laugh, before going back to using your breasts as his personal cushions. “Not quite clones or holograms, they’re still me. But also not really, y’know?” he murmurs.
“Ahh. No.”
The conversation dwindles into a comfortable silence.
Or so you’d think. But the air was charged with something, and - knowing Satoru - you had an inkling it didn’t bode well for you down there.
As quickly as you suspected, he turns the TV off and turns to you with twinkling eyes.
“Toru...” you reproach.
He whines dramatically, “Come onnnn. Don’t they say the best way to learn is hands-on experience?”
“You just have ulterior motives, Toru.”
“Hell yeah, I do.” he mutters into the valley of your breasts. Satoru peeks at you through his thick lashes, eyes bright with mischief.
How could you say no to those eyes? And, well, you’d be lying if you said that the idea of multiple Satorus didn’t make your pussy clench in excitement.
That’s how you found yourself here.
Shirts thrown across the room and splayed out on Satoru’s overpriced silk bed sheets. You gasp in pleasure as he leaves hot, open-mouthed kisses on your neck.
Wrapping your legs around his waist, he rocks into you, pushing you deeper into the plush bed. Your pussy drips with anticipation as you feel the outline of his rock-hard cock straining against his sweatpants.
Hooking two fingers under your waistband, he swiftly pulls off your panties along with your shorts. “Already so wet and ready f’me…” he groans out. Quickly shuffling your bodies around, “C’mon sweetheart.”
Now, Satoru knows he has a pretty face - too well, in fact, he uses it to his advantage to get his way with you too much. And he thinks there’s nothing that makes his face prettier than you on it.
It’s why he has you bent over and straddling his head. The tighter you squeeze him, the better.
One arm holds you in place while the other spreads your folds. Satoru teases your entrance with a finger, gathering your wetness before popping it into his mouth. He groans sinfully as he tastes you. “Fuck- always so good for me.”
You slowly put your weight onto him, failing against the strong arm that pulls you to sit on him properly.
Satoru moans around your cunt as he finally dives nose-deep into it. Languidly, he licks long stripes against your folds, purposefully catching your clit in the process. “Hah- Fuck. Toru, more!”
Satisfied with your whines, he finally slides his tongue inside your dripping pussy, fucking you with his mouth till his cock twitches for friction.
You notice, and urgently shuffle his sweatpants down. Satoru’s cock stands achingly hard, precum dripping enticingly along the vein on the side of it. You lean down to kiss the shaft, delighting in his noises that send vibrations down to your clit.
As you take his blushing red head into your mouth, Satoru increases his abuse on your cunt.
You arch your back further into his face - moaning around his thick cock. He starts fucking into your mouth steadily, forcing you to take more and more of his length. Drool drips down the corners of your mouth, “Mmm Toru- Feels so good.”
If one Satoru makes you feel this good…what would two feel like?
As if reading your mind - you wouldn’t be surprised if he actually could - Satoru pulls away slightly, ropes of spit still connecting him to you.
“Ready, sweetheart?” he murmurs lowly, hot breath making your cunt quiver.
And before you can respond, the hairs on your body raise as the air stills with the crackle of jujutsu. You remove yourself from Satoru’s cock with a wet pop! Looking up to see…those cerulean eyes.
Another set.
“Toru…” you drone out, turning behind to glare at Satoru - who was now placing innocent kisses to your dripping pussy. His eyes peek out with visible amusement, “Jus’ say the word and I’ll stop.”
Satoru knew he had you cornered. He’d fully felt the way your walls clenched around his tongue once you saw the other version of him. This was going to be fun.
Harshly rolling his tongue against your clit, he lightly smacks your ass - signaling you to pay attention to the other Satoru in front of you now.
So you do.
It was quite surreal seeing an exact copy of your boyfriend grinning down devilishly at you. He cups the back of your head, bringing you closer to him. “Don’t be scared, pretty. It’s jus’ me.”
At first, you were unsure of what to do, the only thing you know being that - clone or not - this one was just as well-endowed as your boyfriend.
Experimentally, you press soft kisses to his hot tip, relishing in his drawn-out groan. You take him in deeper, tonguing the slit in the way you knew your boyfriend liked. “Yeah- Jus’ like that.”
He tightens his grip on your head. Pumping your Satoru with one hand, you use the other to steady yourself as your mouth gets used as the other’s own personal fucktoy.
Shit. This was heaven.
Eyes rolling to the back of your head, you pull away, “Hngh- Toru, feels so fucking good.” Mewling at the stimulation on your cunt as well as the depravity of the act, you grind your hips deeper into Satoru’s mouth - searching for your high.
Soon, you feel that familiar snap in your stomach. Satoru uses his fingers to spread your lips as you cum all over his tongue. He laps up your juices with lewd squelching sounds as his clone fucks your face deeper. Nose meeting his snowy white pubes and balls hitting your chin, you choke from both the position and Satoru’s relentless tongue.
“Yeah, cum all over my tongue, sweetheart.”
You ride out your high on Satoru’s pretty face, slick spreading all over his mouth and nose. With a final kiss to your cunt, he shifts your legs and moves to tower over from behind.
Removing yourself from the other’s cock, you look over your shoulder to see your boyfriend sensually pumping himself, readying to enter your eager pussy.
“Hey now, eyes on me, pretty.” A long finger moves your chin so that you face the Satoru in front of you. Seems that no matter what, every Satoru was a little possessive over you.
He rubs his dripping tip on your face, smearing his precum as a gloss before fucking into your mouth once more.
Almost at the same time, Satoru fully rams his cock inside your pussy without any warning, tip kissing your cervix.
“Shit. Always taking me in so good, sweetheart.” he huffs out as your walls flutter around his length.
You groan loudly around the cock in your mouth, partly from the pain of being unprepared and partly from the pleasure of getting what you wanted the most - both ends filled by your loving boyfriend.
Your eyes were dazed as you stare doe-eyed up at the Satoru that was plunging into your mouth mercilessly - the other fucking your hole at a similar pace. Strangled yelps leave your mouth as his balls sinfully slap against your clit.
The room fills with loud, wet noises, and the slapping of skin. Both Satorus hunch over you in pleasure, muscles rippling. Your cunt quivers in an almost-animalistic way at the small grunts falling from their pretty lips.
You whine as he finds that one spot inside you which makes you see stars every time his hips meet yours. One hand - you were too far gone to recognize whose - reaches under you to draw harsh circles on your clit.
Tears spring to your eyes at the sheer overstimulation, and you rock your hips to meet his powerful cadence. One of your hands reaches for the other’s hip for stability, nose meeting his pelvis nails dragging along the soft skin. He grips your hair tighter, lips bitten and swollen at the stimulation.
From the way your pussy was clenching, you knew it wouldn’t be long before you were cumming again.
Now, throughout his life, Satoru has been called crazy many times. Crazy powerful, crazy handsome (in front of the mirror), and just downright mad. But it’s right about now - watching as you choke and cry around his own dick as he plows into you from behind - that he truly thinks he just might actually be a little crazy.
Slowing to shallow rocks, he focuses on his technique.
Satoru basks in amusement when your whines of disappointment at his slowing pace die down as you register the tugging and sucking on your nipples from below.
You gasp as you break away from the Satoru in front of you and look down, breath catching in your chest as you realize that your boyfriend has conjured up another clone of himself.
He was going to be the death of you.
“Pay attention, sweetheart.” you hear from behind you as Satoru starts up his relentless rhythm once more, hand now moving to squeeze and spread your ass.
You knew where this was going, and you didn’t mind it one bit.
The stretch of your cunt as it adapted to Satoru’s length burned almost as much as your nipples as his clone continued to bite and tease them. “Feels good, babe?” he sighs around your breasts. Yet your whines of pleasure are quickly muffled by the flushed tip kissing your lips once more.
“Hope you didn’t forget about me, pretty.”
“More- Hngh, Toru!” you whine, not sure which Satoru you were addressing anymore . All three of them speed up their motions, the pleasure from all points pushing you over the edge.
You as you cum fast and hard.
But your Satoru(s) don’t let you have a moment’s rest as your orgasm is quickly overshadowed by your boyfriend’s hands on your ass. Teasingly drawing circles around the rim. You shiver, hole quivering at the cold feeling of his saliva hitting you.
His cock still ramming into your abused cunt, Satoru enters a finger into your ass. Using his spit and your slick from before to stretch you out till he’s satisfied. “Fuck- Taking me so good, sweetheart.” he moans out at the sight of you being stretched out from all ends by him and only him.
You continue mewling as the pleasure overtakes you. He was going to ruin you.
Half-delirious from all the stimulation, you barely hear the lowly “Ready, babe?” from below you before Satoru pulls out and suddenly you’re flipped. Easily manhandled by your boyfriend, your head lolls against his replica’s strong shoulder as you’re caressed from three sides once more.
“Feeling alright, sweetheart?” your boyfriend rasps from above. Now hot and bothered once more from how your loving boyfriend was using you like a ragdoll, you gasp out “Yeah, Toru. Need you so bad.”
“Oh yeah?” he grins, lining himself up with your pulsing pussy. “Tell me how badly you want me in all your tight lil’ holes.”
You choke out a sob at the way your Satoru was teasing your folds with his thick cock. “So bad- Need you so bad Toru. Want you to fill me up everywhere.”
Arching your back, you grind your ass against the furiously hard cock prodding at your asshole. Hearing choked gasps from below you, your pussy clenches in anticipation around nothing. To Satoru, your arousal is almost palpable - as strong as the cursed technique in the air surrounding you two.
And that seems to be what finally makes Satoru snap before he sheathes himself entirely in your dripping cunt. Your strangled moans are cut off by the other Satoru slowly bullying himself into your other hole.
“Ah- Ah!” you yelp in both pain and pleasure as you’re stretched to your limits. You feel full. So full. You were going to snap - like a rubber band - and your boyfriend was going to be reveling in his success. The man in question furrows his brows, groaning at the sweet feeling of his pretty lil’ girlfriend being so tight.
A single tear streaming down your face is gently brushed away as a pair of muscular thighs come to rest beside your face. “Shhh, pretty. You can take it.”
Both of them start moving carefully.
Satoru would never admit it, but feeling his own dick stretch you out twofold has been a little fantasy tucked in a deep, dark corner of his mind ever since he realized the nefarious purposes his technique could be used for.
He could feel his other version pumping into you from behind as he ruts into your cunt mindlessly. The friction mixed with the gummy wetness of your pussy was mind-blowing - fuck, he really should have watched Naruto with you sooner.
Satoru gazes at you through half-lidded eyes as you press kittenish pecks to his clone’s cock above you. You stare right into your boyfriend’s eyes as you take the length into your mouth once more, inch by inch. Nose meeting his pelvis.
Shit. Satoru feels like he could pass out - whether from seeing the sinful image of all your holes filled by him or from the excessive use of his cursed technique, he doesn’t question. Your walls flutter, struggling to take him both.
Fuck, he really feels like he’s gonna explode.
Satoru pulls out fully before harshly thrusting into you once more, keeping up a pace that has his abs burning and you struggling for air. He sees another tear fall delicately down your cheek.
“My girl takes me so well, huh? Fuck. Made jus’ for me, sweetheart.”
The air was stagnant with the smell of sex and jujutsu.
All three Satorus thrust into you fiercely, the bed creaking furiously. Satoru has half a mind to worry about whether it would break down in the middle of all this. How inconvenient that would be, he’s so close.
It was animalistic, the way you could just sit there and take it as your boyfriend used you in all sorts of ways you never deemed possible.
You’re pretty sure your body is completely bruised and raw at this point. Eyes fluttering shut, tears cling to your lashes as you’re filled up. Your brain, as well as your holes, were overwhelmed with only Satoru Satoru Satoru. If your mouth wasn’t suckling on his length, you’re sure you’d be screaming loud enough for Satoru’s neighbor’s to file a noise complaint.
Good. So good.
Feeling that sharp tug on your stomach again, your legs flail as you steadily reach your climax. Held down by three sets of large hands - all caressing you relentlessly in various ways - you finally cum with an exhausted whimper.
Brain foggy and eyes unfocused, you barely feel the twitch of Satoru’s cock.
With a throaty moan, all three versions of your boyfriend cum - not one pulling out. Your senses are overtaken as Satoru doesn’t relent his pace, fucking his cum deeper and deeper into your abused pussy.
Ah- He felt he was gonna fuck another Gojo into you. Carry on his legacy. Shut those old cows up about a Gojo heir.
You’d look so round and beautiful with his kids.
“Only I get to cum in this pussy.” he drawls out as he keeps rutting his sensitive cock into you. Low whines get stuck in his throat as he loses himself in the feeling of your tight walls coated in his semen. His other versions were also at their limit, shooting out thick streams of cum to paint your face and ass.
You were so beautiful like this. Fucked out and covered in his seed.
His and only his.
As you slowly come to your senses, the first thing you feel is wet. Not from your own slick, but from Satoru’s thick cum - it was everywhere, decorating your lips, your tits, all the way down to your holes below.
The second thing you feel is raw. You weren’t too sure anymore that you’d be able to make it to that family dinner tomorrow, Satoru had absolutely gone all out tonight.
Laying there, willing yourself to move, you flinch as something soft and wet touches your legs. “Shhh…easy there, sweetheart. Get some rest, I’ll take care of it.” you hear the soothing whisper of your one and only boyfriend.
You muster up the strength to look up and see his gentle smile. “Rest.” he breathes out as he continues to wipe you down. In the back of your mind you register the distinct lack of the other presences of your boyfriend.
“T-Toru...” you were too fucked up to formulate proper sentences.
“Shhh it’s okay.”
At his tender whispers, you easily drift into a fatigued sleep. You dream of shadow clones and blue, blue skies.
Waking up after your brief nap, you find yourself dressed and cuddled by Satoru on a fresh set of sheets. “You okay?” he mutters in-between innocent pecks to your bruised lips.
At your affirmative nod, he probes further “Learn anything about my technique?”
“Absolutely not.” you sigh, pulling him in closer. As you snuggle into the crook of his neck, you almost miss the devious grin spreading across his face.
“Then…wanna try six next time?”

A/N. No Part 2 till I figure out better ways to differentiate these bitches LMAO.

Jutsu that you included despite them either being non-existent in Naruto canon or Hinata actually being unable to perform them:


No,hinata never really fully mastered 64 palms,stop pretending that she did.








― Hinata Hyūga’s entire jutsu arsenal
The information presented in this post has been checked and revised. My aim is not to hate or to discredit any of the characters mentioned. Please read about me for further information.
This post will contain evidence in picture format directly from the manga Naruto (1999 - 2014) created by Masashi Kishimoto and published by Shueisha in 1999. I will also use information from the official databooks of Naruto.
In this informative post will explain all the jutsu that Hinata Hyūga has used in canon, meaning this will only include techniques that the author of the manga and the novels, illustrated by Kishimoto, have given her.
This analysis will be crossposted in AO3.
Sakura’s jutsu arsenal (with 24 techniques) Ino’s jutsu arsenal (with 14 techniques)

I think part of what is so devasting to me about Boruto is simply the fact that the "villains" are just too strong.
The Naruto ending was very conclusive, meaning that in order for Boruto to have any significant conflict, they needed to reopen the ideas of Kaguya (the final boss). The issue I see with this is that the traditional ninja arts are just no longer relevant. You can't have taijutsu and kenjutsu specialists be successful in this time period because how are they going to do anything against a god? The Boruto universe has been forced into a corner where only high impact jutsus and other flashy techniques are of any use to shinobi. I miss the days of tactical fighting, of two opponents decking it out in a fist fight. This kinda disappeared in the war arc, but I think even more so in Boruto.
I know many people complain that Boruto is just about "aliens" now and many others counter by saying that Naruto wasn't about regular ninjas either, but I think they miss the point. Naruto was about ninja that could use magic. They were enhanced by it, but still often fell back on more fundamental shinobi practices. That doesn't happen in Boruto, they can't do that and it's a major flaw in my eyes.
It just feels like there is a complete lack of sincerity to the world. I think there are ways to have villains be truly bad people, but the Boruto execution is lacking. There is no sense of emotion. Characters don't necessarily need reason to be "evil," but I want some form of expression. Give me madness, give me hostility, given me irritation, give me obsession, give me grief, give me SOMETHING. I don't feel for the characters in any way. They seem hollow and it makes it hard to enjoy reading.

Childs Guilt
Shikamaru Nara x Male Reader
Fandom -> Naruto
Masterlist
You hadn't been feeling well these past weeks already—stomach cramps, aching muscles, nagging hammering headaches, nausea, constant fatigue and slight waves of fever—though this week it had gotten visibly worse and once you had coughed out some blood and collapsed right after getting out of bed, Shikamaru had brought you into the hospital right away.
Sakura had checked you over and came to the conclusion, that your already broken seal—with the much heavyweight additional stress of being a parent, which Sakura could relate herself all too well with it—continues, which shouldn't even be happening in the first place, to take more damage and breaking completely down now.
Your body—more like your chakra core and mind, which can't process, without redeeming help of medical jujutsu (with by the current look of your seal, is probably too late to use) or specific sealing techniques—responds with signals of pain, trying to mend this sort of “wound” on its own.
Knowing this, Shikamaru thought he could—albeit it might not be much seen as help—relieve you from some of the stress and do most, if not even all, of the housework chores for the time being till you're feeling remotely better (or finding a way to stop your seal from breaking apart completely).
So here Shikamaru was, sitting at the dining table with his son and waiting—after being forced to do so, albeit grumpy with you about it—for you to serve today's lunch.
Now, don't get him wrong, Shikamaru would have made gladly—without hesitation or shame, most men would feel when being asked to do what their more household staying spouse would do—today's lunch, just so you could stay in bed and getting the needed rest, but you insisted to do lunch yourself (half heartily jokingly threatening him with any of your Oni's—preferably Raikou it would have been).
»I can't just lay in bed all day and do nothing. And no, laundry doesn't count as doing something.« is what you had said to Shikamaru, when he found you—instead of either laying in bed or the couch as you should and how Sakura had advised you to do—standing in the kitchen, hunched over the counters (a visibly tremor in your legs and hands) and preparing lunch.
~~~•~~~
»Here you go, soya sauce chicken katsu!« you announced happily, serving the two plates—your own appetite had significantly gone down in your sick ridden phrase, still is and the few bites you took during the cooking, were more than enough, too much even, for your stomach—to your husband and son.
Shikamaru said his thanks and started to eat, while Shikadai only moved the chicken around on his plate with his chopsticks—looking rather grossed out by it.
»Are you not feeling well Shi?« worry etched across your face as it's one thing if you're sick, but another if your son is—maybe Shikadai had gotten a seasonal cold or a stomach bug is being passed around, perhaps he just feels more tired than usual.
»Don't ask me.« muttered Shikadai, slamming the chopsticks down onto the table.
»Shikadai.« Shikamaru warned his son, giving an admonitory glance.
Shikamaru—in contrast to your knowledge—knows from his friends firsthand, that most of their children (Boruto and Sarada specifically) seemed to be getting more and more into a angry rebellious mood against them—and now Shikadai, for whatever reasons, as well it seems.
»Stop acting as if you're my dad.«
»What do you mean?« your worry turned in confusion, not understanding what exactly Shikadai is trying to say here and why he's getting so heated.
»You're not my papa and neither are you a supposed mother! All you are is a Monster, which shouldn't even exist!«
You remain silent, a crestfallen expression of hurt etched onto your face, because you knew you're a monster—having called yourself that a few times, even with a slight proudness just to provoke and to make Naruto (one of your closest friends) not feel alone anymore—but it's something entirely different when your own son (or any other person you love and hold dear) calls you such as it equals—akin to a heartache—to a stab into the heart.
»Shikadai! That's enough!« Shikamaru raised his voice—never thought he ever needed to with his son—disapproval sternness in it, because such outbursting outrageous behaviour—towards you—was line crossing and not acceptable.
»I hate you! I hate you!«
Shikadai was shouting—the hatred crystal clear to hear in his voice—by now at this point, chair screeching backwards—falling back with a thud onto the floor—when he stood up abruptly, running out of the kitchen and slamming some doors—either the front door itself or the one towards the garden—shut.
Shikamaru, standing up as well—who, even now as a parent, had never been one for strictness or tight enclosed rules—had half a mind to follow his son and reprimanded him that such behaviour wasn't acceptable as it certainly crossed a line—and while there a things, hurtful words, which a Parent should never dared to utter to their child, so are there words a child should never say to their parents.
But Shikamaru didn't go after his son, not when you have called out for him in a hoarse whisper—cup of (f.drink) slipping from your already shaky hands and shattering down onto the ground into million shards.
Turning to you, the once disappointing up-flaring anger vanish right away and morphed into concern upon seeing your pale sweat glistening face and the way how you clutched your stomach—Shikamaru, with a few steps towards you, puts his arms around you in support and walks you into the living room towards the couch.
~~~•~~~
»......something is wrong....« you rasped out in pain, fearing yourself for the worst already—a lingering sense crawling through your mind of what's happening to you and it's one of the few things which sparked pure terrific fear in you.
»Let me have a look.« Shikamaru raised up your shirt—being thankful that you wore much easier clothing nowadays and not the complicated traditional clothes—and coming to an unpleasant sight.
Your stomach, where the seal of the Oni Demons had once been placed—as you're, through all these years and despite the Oni's being long counted as friends and family, still a Vessel—looked bloody raw, skin tearing itself apart and the sealing marks coming off in a purple stream.
»Shika.....I'm scared.....I–I don't want to lose them, not again....Please, Shika, please don't let me lose them.« tears welled up in your eyes, the fear—which pulls Shikamarus heartstrings in an ache—visibly pooling in them, ascending down your cheeks and upcoming sobs—which bubbles up in your throat—threaten to escape over your lips.
Shikamaru as he shushes you gently, telling you in a promise—believing, although with not much faith in it, your husband as he had barley broken a promise before—that everything will be alright again and how he will do everything possible to not let you lose Raikou and the others—rubs his hand, in a careful and comforting manner, over your stomach.
»C'mon, let's get you back to bed, love.« Shikamaru picks you up and carries you into the bedroom—laying you down onto the bed, pulling him down with you as well, having a tight grip on his shirt.
And Shikamaru let you, holding you close while you cried yourself into sleep—squirming in pain and berating yourself, for something you weren't at faults even.
~~~•~~~
It had been days later—when Konoha had been evacuated, after being attacked by some cult Ninjas (close to being a second Akatsuki group) and either leading almost all possible Shinobi's, with a false lead, away from the village or locking them into a Genjujutsu—that Shikadai started to regret.
Seeing you—his Papa—getting purposely stabbed by the enemy, in order to protect him and Inojin—while telling Konohamaru and Mirai (despite them saying you shouldn't fight as you're still not recovered) to stay with them in protection, while you took care (in your words) of that fucker—sparked a flame of crashing guilt in Shikadai.
Shikadai argued with his Uncle—after the enemy had admitted that they're actually after you and your Oni's and seeing how brutal the attacks (which sends you crashing into the ground a few times already) you're receiving are—how he needs to help his papa and starting to cry out in frustration, anger and fear, when Konohamaru holds him back.
They don't understand, they just don't seem to understand the immense guilt and fear Shikadai feels, because this fight could risk your life and Shikadai didn't want to lose his Papa—not when these hateful words he had shouted at you, would be your last memories of him.
What Shikadai had said, wasn't true—you're aren't a monster, but it took the summoning of Raikou and the other three Oni's (who not only grand him sole protection, but also the whole village and Shikadai realise the extent of how strong you really are) and you literally sacrificing yourself—out of loyalty and parental love—to make Shikadai understand.
All Shikadai wants was to apologise and telling you, how much he loves you and how thankful he is to have you as his Papa.
I'm Sorry.

their boyfriend has no shame💀
Also i have some more headcanons for you!
Emma, Norman, Ray live in post-naruto/post-boruto-canon I think...(I didn't watch boruto actually, so I'm not sure about that)
anyway, they don’t have any contact with the canon characters of Naruto, but they may be distant descendants of well-known characters
Norman is definitely from the Hyuga clan ( as @fullscoreshenanigans noticed this in the previous post ❤️) he is a very soft and gentle boy so I thought the style of gentle fist would suits him
I'm not sure about Ray, he can be from Nara clan, but from Uchiha clan as well
If Ray is Nara, he can paralyze the enemy with the technique of shadow possession. Norman attacks this enemy with the Eight Trigrams or something. Emma will cover both of them.
But if Ray is Uchiha it's cool too, and add tension between him and Norman during the chunin exam. I haven’t seen teams where the guys have similar kekkei genkai
(It should be noted that Norman and Ray fell in love with each other before the Chunin Exams and they could not take fighting each other seriously. BUT if Emma was forced to fight with the boys in the exam, her "have a crush on Norman and Ray" would not stop her from beating the shit out of them. because her career as a shinobi and her future earnings depend on it.)
What about Emma. She came from a civilian family and has a lot of siblings. Emma became a shinobi because her family are not traders and becoming a shinobi is the only way to earn a lot of money. Emma has a lot of chakra, but she does not have clan techniques. so she practices a lot and never gives up trying to create her own techniques. there is a possibility that she will succeed, just as it happened for example with Minato.
Emma does not spare Norman and Rey during training, she uses all possible dirty tricks to defeat them. For the same reason, she was the first of the three to receive the title of Chunin.
Perhaps in the future Emma would like to create her own clan, but while she is in a relationship with two heirs of other great clans...this creates a very awkward situation

Many fans consider the Naruto light novels canon, so that means you accept that :
- Naruto knew about Hinata liking him all along but thought she loved him like she would like ramen or shogi and ignored it for years
- Naruto didn't understand anything about love despite being his whole arc in the manga
- For Naruto and Hinata's wedding, Kakashi had a huge problem : the security of Konoha. Because everyone wanted to go the wedding (you see). So Kakashi used an old law and started a competition between the guests. So the ones who offer the best gifts can go to the wedding and the others, they are on duty. It's only after Tsunade came back (at least, she didn't lose her brain), that he changed his plan. Thankfully, Naruto never heard of it...
- Sakura kept chasing Sasuke until he returned her feelings and compared it to hitting your ennemy until he lost
- Hinata is friends with Orochimaru and doesn't have any problem with helping him in his experiences and letting him near Himawari
- Naruto didn't bother telling Hinata he was sick and dying
- When Naruto was worried about Shikamaru, he went to Sakura. Who told him to not "worry" and to focus on his own things to not disappoint people. We learnt later that he had good intuitions, since Shikamaru almost failed his mission and was convinced to join a secte (like Sai actually). Thankfully, Temari was smart enough to notice something was wrong too...
- Hinata is unhappy. Hanabi noticed it and offered her to live with her, but Hinata decided to fight her sister instead. (Actually it's consistent with the manga, but that doesn't sound good for NH fans right ?)
- Apparently, Boruto and Himawari were trained in the Huyga style despite not having the byakugan and never showing that style in the manga.
- Sakura kissed Sasuke on Naruto's dying body.
- Sakura almost died from poison despite being a poison expert since the second part of Naruto manga.
- In a mission to save Naruto, Sasuke got hurt by prison guardians (yeah Sasuke) and he watched an almond blossom hoping it would blossom because it reminded him of Sakura (a real teenager, I know).
- Sakura has an amazing sensing technique, but never uses in the Boruto manga despite the fact it would have been useful. Actually, Naruto and Shikamaru when they need a sensor, they ask Ino.
- Sasuke and Sakura both claimed they would use the edo tensei to see the other if they had the chance
- Sasuke is upset with Naruto and Kakashi for sending him away from his family in missions while it was his choice to leave Konoha by the end of Naruto.
To sum up, the novels contradict the original work (and even the Boruto manga), your favorite characters and ships sound different (and sometimes even look "worse").
And the truth is... why would I consider them canon ? They aren't written by Kishimoto. And from one novel to another, they're not the same writers either.
And at the end of the day, if I don't need them to understand Naruto and Boruto, then it's very telling.

Neji x reader (he's alive in my heart, setting is Boruto time also you two are married😈)
Neji x fem reader
Fandom: naruto
Genre: fluff
Warnings: none
749 words(short)
You could hear the crickets chirping outside the window of your and Neji’s shared bedroom. You had left the window open, and the cold early morning air was seeping in. You turned over and felt no one. You slid your hand around—nothing. You opened your eyes and frowned. Neji wasn’t in bed.
You looked at the clock on the bedside table. 3:00 AM? Ugh… Since you were already wide awake and there was no chance of falling back asleep without Neji, you decided to check on Himawari and Boruto. They were staying with you and Neji while Naruto and Hinata were on a trip.
Forcing yourself out of bed, the chilly air hit your skin, causing goosebumps to rise as soon as you stood. You shuddered but slipped on your slippers and walked down the hall to the guest bedroom. Slowly, you opened the door, trying not to make too much noise. The door creaked, making you pause for a moment before continuing.
The room was dark, save for the nightlight that Himawari insisted on sleeping with. You made your way to one of the two twin beds, where Hima was fast asleep. Gently, you pulled her blanket up over her shoulders and brushed her bangs out of her face. But when you glanced at the other bed… it was empty.
Where is Boruto?
That troublemaker—where would he have snuck off to? You tried your hardest not to panic, reasoning with yourself that maybe he was just downstairs getting a snack. Leaving the room, you gently closed the door behind you and hurried down the stairs, nearly tripping on the last step.
Boruto wasn’t in the kitchen or the living room.
You were on the verge of a breakdown until you suddenly heard Boruto’s loud laughter coming from the backyard.
Rushing to the back door, you opened it and peered outside. Neji had a small training area for himself—and for you if you ever decided to join him. There, you saw your husband training, and Boruto watching him, even attempting some of the advanced techniques. It was adorable watching the boy copy Neji, but that little brat had you worried sick.
You stepped to the edge of the porch and called out, “Boruto.”
Your tone was stern but not angry. The boy awkwardly turned around, a nervous look on his face.
“Aunt (Y/N), I was just training with Uncle Neji…” he chuckled, silently begging Neji to help him out.
You sighed softly, crossing your arms. “You need to get back to bed, Boruto. It’s way too early to be up.”
Boruto trudged toward you, rubbing the back of his head. As he got closer, you ruffled his hair, taking note of the dark circles under his eyes. You kissed his forehead and sent him upstairs to bed.
Once he disappeared inside, you turned to your husband. “Will you be coming back to bed as well, Neji?” you asked, leaning over the porch railing.
Neji glanced at you, his pale, pupil-less eyes filled with warmth. “Do you want me to?” he asked, crossing his arms, though the soft smile on his face remained.
“Of course I do,” you grinned up at him.
He exhaled through his nose, amused, before stepping forward and slipping his hand into yours. “Let’s go inside, then.”
Leading him back through the house and up the stairs to your shared bedroom, you suddenly stopped before he could climb into bed.
“Oh, no. You’re not getting too close smelling like sweat and outside,” you said, scrunching your nose.
Neji raised a brow, a bit taken aback, before chuckling. “Fair enough.”
He took a quick shower and changed into his pajamas before finally crawling into bed beside you. As soon as he did, you curled into his side, resting your head on his chest. His warmth was comforting, and you could already feel yourself getting drowsy.
Neji sighed contentedly, one hand slipping under your shirt to rub slow circles on your back. You melted even further into his chest.
“You’re really good with them, you know,” he mumbled, pressing a kiss to your forehead while intertwining his fingers with yours.
You smiled sleepily. “You’d be a great mother.”
Your eyes widened slightly at his words.
Neji chuckled softly, only half-joking when he added, “Maybe we should have a child.”
You groaned. “Not after Hinata’s birth horror stories. No.” You shuddered at the thought.
Neji smirked. “Maybe someday, then?”
You glanced up at him and smiled. “Maybe.”
maybe you guys will get a longer one I love neji😈

⭐️» Are Naruto novels canon?
Simple answer: no
In this account I will give you the best information possible because the Naruto fandom is FULL of misinformation and lies.
:::
One of the arguments misinformed people use is that:
"The novels are canon because they have a chronology."
1. The chronologies themselves call them "chronological series of novels." Meaning they're meant to show the reader when the novels are supposed to take place; that does NOT make them canon.
2. The fact that the novels have a chronology doesn't make them canon. Even the anime itself has a chronology.

As I told you, a chronology does not mean that something is canon, because the anime itself has a chronology in its published book and with Kishimoto's name.

Another thing that the fandom ignores because they feel like it, is that these "mega canon chronological lists" remove and add novels at will XD contradicting what they say about each other.
:::
"The novels are canon because they were illustrated by Kishimoto and his name is on the cover."
No, that doesn't make them canon.

As you can see, there are many more novels of the Naruto manga. ALL with Kishimoto's name on the cover, and several even illustrated by Kishi himself.
From novelizations of the films to original works, none are canon, and most of these were previously unknown to the fandom.

:::
"The novels are canon because they add information to the original material and were written by Kishi and Ikemoto."
That's another argument that's been made and is easy to refute, because the novels are full of inconsistencies that don't fit with the original material. One very clear and notable inconsistency occurs in the Shinden trilogy.

In the "super canon" novel trilogy, Sasuke arrives in Konoha and searches for the house Sakura destroyed in the Naruto Gaiden manga, finding only rubble. He didn't understand what was happening, even believing it was a genjutsu.
He even checked the note Sakura had left him with the address from years ago. Now, where's the mistake?

According to the timelines, the Shinden trilogy takes place SHORTLY AFTER the Boruto movie and the Naruto Gaiden manga. What's up with that?

It turns out that in both the Boruto movie, the Boruto manga, and Naruto Gaiden, Sasuke had been to the Uchiha family's apartment. He knew where it was and spent days in the village, but in the mega-canonical novel, Sasuke didn't even know his family had moved out of the house Sakura destroyed.

:::
"The novels are canon because they were adapted into anime. Sasuke Retsuden has an anime adaptation, and even its own manga, so is canon."
The film Road to Ninja is well known in the fandom as the first film in which Kishimoto participated in the script, supervised it, and actively participated in the designs.
TRANSLATION: «This film was made in 2012 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the TV series. Madara assaults the Leaf Village with a finite tsukuyomi, the ocular technique that serves as a rehearsal for the infinite tsukuyomi! How will Naruto and company get out of this…?!"

*Scripted and edited by Masashi Kishimoto!*
Road to Ninja EVEN has its own special manga, written by Kishimoto himself and added to the 4th Naruto Databook.
It has a manga.
It has a movie that was written, supervised, and characters designed by Kishi himself.
It has episodes in the anime, and yet it's NOT CANON.

Sasuke Retsuden it is not canon just because it has a manga and anime adaptation. Stop making things up.
There's even a statement from the author of the Retsuden trilogy, saying that THE ONLY TRUTH is the original source material (manga).
:::
"The novels are canon because Kishimoto said they were canon in an interview."
In May 2015, New York Comic Con announced via Twitter that Masashi Kishimoto would be appearing at the event, something that caught the attention of fans due to his presence on the American continent.

In this interview, they mentioned him the novels:
⭐️» https://youtu.be/1UskxQ1ClCQ?si=kfRsD3pSRNaSrzCJ
youtube
And what we'll be talking about here will be seen around the 5:29 mark. I recommend adding subtitles and switching them to English.
And as you can see, he ignored the mention of the novels as part of the "Naruto manga expansion" and focused on talking about the Boruto movie, which, interestingly, IS CANON.

:::
"In Japan, there's no such thing as canon, so the novels are canon."
First of all, what is canon?
«In a story, 'canonical material' refers to content that is an official part of the universe or main narrative of that work. That is, it's everything that has been recognized by the original creators as an authentic part of the story.»
In short: what the author recognizes as an authentic part of the original material = canon.
Original material = canon.
"Oh! So that makes only the manga canon. The Last isn't canon, nor is the Boruto movie."
Kishimoto has stated MULTIPLE TIMES that The Last connects directly to the original material, even stating that it's set between chapters 699 and 700 of the manga.
Original material = Canon.

:::
⭐️» An Extra…
The novels are so ignored by Kishi and his team that…
Read these (the dates)

For the Boruto film (a canon film btw), an OFFICIAL timeline was released as part of the film. (Which makes that timeline show us KISHIMOTO's canon material.)

And as you can see, the Kakashi novel that had already been published is completely ignored, even though OTHER NOVELS HAD ALSO BEEN PUBLISHED XD

:::
SUMMARY:
Just because they have a chronology doesn't make them canon.
Just because they have Kishi’s name on the cover or were illustrated by him doesn't make them canon.
Just because they were approved by him doesn't make them canon.
When they asked him about the novels, he ignored them.
They weren't added to the chronology of material that connects to the Boruto movie.
They aren't canon until Kishimoto confirms that they are, as he did with "The Last" and "The Boruto Movie."

Head's up: this post is me looking way too deeply into this random card game they introduced in Boruto (it's been forever since I've caught up with it and I'm starting from the beginning, RIP my sanity) and in general there's a bit of serious and a lot of silly going on in the analysis here... I find this concept so strange lmao so this is a little forewarning that's all.
Sorry, just been busy thinking about how dystopian it is that by the Boruto timeline there is a popular ninja trading card game all the kids are obsessed with that treats shinobi (many of whom were abused, traumatized child soldiers who have experienced incomprehensible trauma) as fun little collectibles.
For our world that's one thing (referring to the merchandizing we see of the manga/show itself); Naruto is obviously a story, it's a highly marketable IP, etc... but the implications of this being acceptable and even celebrated in their world is just so wild to me.
Also, it raises so many questions.
Do ninja get paid for the use of their likeness? How are they compensated?
Like did Hinata pose for this 'unique' card that obviously falls outside of the norm for collectability purposes? Or are the likenesses/names of the shinobi in the 'Extreme Ninja Scrolls' (ENS) TCG being used without permission? Who profits from this? The Daimyo? Jiraiya and Minato are also shown having cards... so who approved those since they're both deceased? Is there a Namikaze estate (for example) that had to legally allow Minato's image to be profited off of?
They even have cards of the OGs as 12-year-old genin. So is the Konoha government approving these since everyone pictured here was as an employee of the state and these appear to be regulation photos?
And you know what? We KNOW they didn't have this shit in the OG era because, back in the day, the whole team was impressed as hell at Kabuto's legendary ninja info cards! Who could forget these bad boys?
youtube
Now I guess we have to ask, though, is this not a massive security risk?
To have your nation's shinobi and their backgrounds, techniques, etc. shared so freely on cards you can pick up at any ninja 7/Eleven?
Anyone can purchase one of these card packs. We know it's not exclusive to Konoha too - while most of the cards have the Leaf Village symbol stamped in the corner, Orochimaru's represents the Sound Village.
Actually, hol' up. Orochimaru's inclusion is WILD.
"The legendary three ninja" (ie. a nod to him being one of the Legendary Sannin), but this man killed hundreds of thousands (we don't even know the totals) in untold unethical science experiments. He enslaved and tortured children, ruined countless lives and imprisoned them in hideouts that seemingly existed everywhere, and he packed up the Third Hokage (ngl that was a hero move).
And you're going to tell me that guy gets his own 'super rare' trading card? There are survivors of Orochimaru's cruelty still walking around in this timeline and they have to look at his face plastered and advertised everywhere as a rare card pull in a children's game?
So, if we can safely assume that (with Orochimaru's inclusion) internationally wanted criminals are not off the table for this game, does that mean the Akatsuki have their own cards as well? Like little kids are really out there trying to see which terrorist they can add to their collection? By Boruto-era, the truth of the Uchiha Clan Massacre is still swept under the rug by state leaders like Kakashi and Naruto (+the Elders), so Itachi's card could be in circulation under his Akatsuki identity. How does this shift/color the views of generations of children who come across all these cards potentially bearing the 'Uchiha' last name, especially since they're only ever taught a white-washed, sanitized, state-approved history?
This is pure speculation, but I wonder who gets left out of this game too. Is there an Obito card? A Madara one? They were the enemy faces of the 'last' great war, but one was also a founder of the Leaf Village (and it's implied all the Hokage all have cards - so historical figures are fair game), the other was a student of Minato's (which could, theoretically be included on the background summary of the card, we don't really know what's included there).
The kids in Boruto joke about Shino's card being viewed as a 'trash' pull (and tbf to the manga I did laugh when I saw the comic they made of that concept)... but really, how disrespectful is that? Imagine devoting your life to practicing shinobi techniques so you can serve/protect the state (as many of them tell themselves) only for little kids to joke about how undervalued and lame your card is? Imagine seeing the card of a beloved comrade you lost in a desperate battle, now being sold for pennies online as 'useless' since no one cares or remembers their name like you do.
Also, Sasuke apparently has a card and I can't for the life of me see him granting approval for his likeness to be used so callously, which lends further credence to my idea that these are either utilized by the state without the permission of their soldiers to add more prestige to the shinobi lifestyle (and potentially net more revenue for the state from children who will grow up to revere these figures/hope to cultivate new ones that will aid their financial interests/goals) or serve as a complete corporate cash-grab designed by some trashy company not even involved in the real business of shinobi but smelling a profit-to-be-made.
Yeah, idk, I really, really dislike Boruto as a concept and story... but I cannot deny it is giving me so much to think about lol.
How would it feel to suffer both physically and emotionally your entire life as you serve as a weapon of the state, just for kids to now argue over your card's value (or lack thereof)? How would it feel to see a shinobi who slew your partner or child in battle during one of the ninja wars (Minato, Jiraiya, Kakashi - they've all got blood from different villages on their hands) now lauded as these ultimate, pure heroes that kids everywhere can and should idolize?
Imagine Madara being handed a holographic card of Izuna and learning that it is valued low for whatever arbitrary reason? Or Kurenai seeing kids trade Asuma's card away for a better one? Does the game gloss over figures like Fugaku, a victim of state-sanctioned genocide, or Rin, a child soldier who died a child? Like these are real people (in-universe), with real and painful stories.
Side note: That's why I think the Zabuza arc is so critical to Naruto because it disrupts the initial 'fun' of this world (one that from the outside boasts cool magic powers and talking animals) and reminds the reader that these are children who are taught and expected to kill or be killed.
The shinobi included in this game have been indoctrinated to build their prestige off of being 'good' little contract killers, violent war-machines, and empty vessels that can line the pockets of feudal investors... and now they're being commodified again and sold to children as aspirational figures.
Something, something... late-stage capitalism Konoha and the further commodification of child soldiers/truly using and viewing shinobi as monetized tools in not just the previously understood sense of arbiters of state violence, but as literal objects of entertainment for children in a way that promotes the status quo of glorifying war-mongering and violent espionage all to support the business interests of corrupt feudal lords?
I have nothing to add here, this panel was just from the same chapters and the absurdity of it made me laugh so I wanted to include it lol. WTF is this?
#I listened to the ninja info cards remix on repeat the entire time i wrote this so i think it may get more unhinged as the post goes on?#anti konoha#anti shinobi system#anti boruto#naruto#not serious#but lowkey serious at parts lol#i'll come back later to fix the typos my b#if i'm missing a tag please ping#Youtube
