Jealousy with the Naruto boys

A/n: I’ve seen this done multiple times so here’s my take on it :)

Warning/content: nothing :)

characters: Sasuke, Gaara, Sai

Sasuke Uchiha

☆ Sasuke claims to not be a jealous person, “he’s above that” as he puts it, but something about seeing you laughing and smiling with someone else makes him feel weird, insecure? No couldn’t be…. He likes to think that he’s just being overprotective and he’s not jealous, he believes he’s too good to be jealous and let’s be real, he’s far too prideful to admit he’s a little insecure. ☆

☆ One time when you guys were out in the Konoha market place, some person came up to you and started a casual conversation, but to Sasuke it seemed like this person was getting a little too close for comfort. So to solve this, he came up behind you and placed his arm over your shoulder giving the person a “can I help you?” Look, let’s say they didn’t stick around much longer. ☆

☆ If you try and bring up his jealous behavior, he’ll deny it adamantly. It’s not that he doesn’t trust you, he just doesn’t trust other people. If we’re being honest here, he’s deeply afraid of losing you, to him you’re the only person he has left. So even when he’s being a jealous prick, it comes from a place of love even if he doesn’t outright express it. ☆

Gaara

☆ He wouldn’t consider himself a jealous person by any means, he love you and you love him. He has no reason to be insecure or jealous, but even the kazekage struggles to be reasonable sometimes, he’s only human after all. He wouldn’t be very upfront about his feelings, if you noticed jealous behavior then you’d have to bring it up because he won’t talk about it first. ☆

☆ One time you were waiting for a council meeting to be over and you were in meeting room with him, it was very boring like watching paint dry would’ve been more entertaining. You soon notice a younger council member staring at you trying to get your attention and smiling at you, you politely smile back but then Gaara catches on to the silent interaction. He wraps his arm around your waist, pulling you closer while clearing his throat and continuing speaking. ☆

☆ If you ultimately decide to confront him about his momentary jealous behavior, he won’t deny it but will probably be very embarrassed he was caught doing something like that even if you reassure him that you’re not upset and may even find his jealous protectiveness attractive…..☆

☆ He didn’t know anything really about relationships do to growing up in Root, so you and to guide him and explain things basically. Some might’ve found It tiring but you found it endearing to an extent. He had never experienced jealousy before until he saw you talking to someone else who seemed to be pretty funny because you couldn’t stop laughing, he had a weird feeling in his chest and it made him feel *strange* he didn’t understand.☆

☆ He decided to try and get to the bottom of this weird feeling in his chest, so he decided to just outright tell you how he was feeling, you were kinda surprised, but after breaking through the momentary freeze and explained it to him. He was surprised, he never thought he’d be jealous, he trusted you, he knew you’d never do anything to hurt him. ☆

☆ There’s no really confronting him about jealous behavior because he’s very honest about how he’s feeling, he definitely forgets appropriate time and place sometimes when he says something, he’s unintentionally a good communicator because of how honest he is and won’t beat around the bush with how he feels. He loves you and wants you to know. ☆

A/n: I’ve never written for Sai before, so sorry if his part sucks. Thanks for reading, love u <3

I'm rewatching Naruto, so the SNS feelings are back with all their force, again! lmao

I found it interesting how in the episode "Eat or be eaten: Panic in the forest" during the chunnin exams and after the snake swallows Naruto, he thinks he is going to die, so he recalls his current important people in this order:

Iruka, Hiruzen, Konohamaru, Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke.

To no one's surprise, the thought of Sasuke is what gives Naruto the strength to break free from the snake.

The way this totally parallels Sasuke's thoughts about Naruto when he sacrifices for him while fighting Haku in the Land of Waves... Their last thoughts before dying are of each other! 🥹

(Mind you, this is also the episode in which Sasuke identifies 2 Naruto impostors, just because he really knows his usuratonkachi so well.)

[sassykinzonline]

sometimes its actually alarming HOW uncritically the naruto fandom looks at the text like because something isnt "shown" in canon/on-screen (it usually is, but just implicitly) people think it means it couldnt have happened and therefore making sweeping statements about the character like "theyre just weak" or "they make no sense"

as usual im going to focus on naruto (😌) heres an example but it applies to many others (itachi, gaara, neji, hinata,...me)

here are some things we know about naruto:

he is inexplicably talented at taijutsu despite having no mentor

he created sexy jutsu for attention from older men (he craves a father figure)

he is rather repulsed by affection aside from certain people

he relies on shadow clones to outnumber his enemies and protect him from damage, as well as acting like diversions (he only later on seems to learn to use them practically as well, and he doesnt use them as an actual team iirc)

he represses his memories and life severely if they cause him distress or negative emotion, and when he doesnt do that it causes him to lose complete control of himself in anger

some of these things are basic signs of a child who has been abused in multiple ways (particularly verbally, physically, and sexually), but also just logically how is it possible that naruto became proficient at taijutsu when he didnt train with anyone and had no teacher to correct him? why would it be important to naruto to have, what are essentially, human shields? why does naruto freely tolerate physical abuse he receives while others openly complain about it? why would that lead to naruto eventually wanting to defend/protect everyone in tandom with ANOTHER orphan who feels the same? why would WE not be able to have a clear directly depicted answer to this as a reader?

idk to me personally there are a lot of things people say are "headcanons" are just things they logically put together based on subtext, and theres a reason why a vast majority of people who read the same text come to the same conclusion. it seems like this is a lot less common in manga form (i dont read manga so i wouldnt know, i understand different mediums have different communication norms but some things are just literary basics), so its the first time ive encountered this "why does everyone believe in [some idea not said in plain english]? it's never said anywhere!" logic...it doesnt need to be. there are certain clues and patterns youre supposed to be able to draw conclusions for based on common life experiences (archetypes/universal symbols).

if you can do these above steps and come to a conclusion, and a plurality of people come to the same conclusion, it was probably intentional on the author's part. if the author explicitly states its not intentional, then sure, but that doesnt take away from how/why the story is impactful because the author may not even realize theyre doing it. an easy example i can think of is tsunade's fear of blood, where its meant to symbolize death, but in her case also ends up symbolizing love wrt her relationships with naruto and jiraiya. and thanks to blood gaining this symbolism through tsunade, when you see uchiha tears of blood, you instantly make those same connections. then you think back to gaara screaming about having never seen his blood (coming from his forehead where that tattoo of his is......), then the eventual resolution of that being an inversion of the symbolism the manga establishes when he battles his father during the war.

more than anything though i find it kind of concerning that adults sit around laughing at obviously what is meant to be traumatic. as if there arent people in your life who sit around with these same experiences and signs, with something they havent told you about because theyre afraid youll laugh at them.

Dress Shopping - Kankuro - Baby Series part 1

Thanks to @neonrogueraven for reminding me of Kankuro

“How many dresses are there?” Kankuro asks, leaning back in his chair. 

You’re on the other side of the door and from what he can hear, getting dressed seems to be an intense workout.

“Five. And a jumpsuit.”

“A jumpsuit?!”

“I know,” you whine, “But Temari ordered it and she’s got style.”

“She doesn’t,” he insists, turning when he hears a telltale sound. “Babe, Kanzo woke up.”

“Can you pick him u-”

“Already on it,” he moves through the room in two steps. His son’s chubby arms are already outstretched, waiting for him to pick him up.

“Did you sleep well, buddy?” Kankuro asks, rubbing his thumb along the creases in his chubby cheek.

Kanzo’s response is a gurgling sound, which is not quite laughter but happy enough.

“Did you make a stink?” He asks next, lifting the boy to sniff his behind. “Oh yeah, you made a big stink.”

Kanzo makes another sound, clearly pleased that he got him there.

“I’m changing his diaper,” he calls out to you, lifting Kanzo onto the table, “Just in case you’re already in that dreaded thing.”

“Don’t worry, this thing has too many strings. I’ll need a minute or two.”

“Strings? What did Tem buy you this time? Haven’t you learned from your own wedding?”

He can hear your laughter through the door, his favorite sound next to Kanzo’s little gurgle.

“In my defense, I looked amazing in that dress.”

“You absolutely did, but it was a pain in the ass to get you out of it.”

“Ah, you will not like this jumpsuit then.”

Kankuro can hear the door slide open, has half the mind to pick Kanzo up as he turns. His son doesn’t mind hanging bare-assed in the air, but maybe he’s also a little distracted by your sight like he is.

The jumpsuit’s dark purple with black accents, matching his face paint and usual uniform, and it hugs you in all the right places. You might complain sometimes about how you still haven’t lost all of the pregnancy weight but if you’d ask him you’d never looked better.

“Your arms look amazing in this,” he stutters, realizing what you meant with “strings”. Like hundreds or thousands of glittering purple snakes, strings of fabric twist around your arms. “You could keep me in a chokehold in that outfit and I wouldn’t complain.”

You snort. “You’re an idiot.”

“And you married me.”

“That I did. I know you like me in everything and a garbage bag, but should I wear this to the wedding?”

“Absolutely not,” Kankuro shakes his head for good measure, “You’re not allowed to leave this house wearing that.”

You laugh. “Oh, it’s like that? Alright, I’ll try one of the dresses next. But first-” You cross the room to squish Kanzo’s cheeks, dropping a wet kiss on his nose. The boy gurgles excitedly, wiggling in Kankuro’s grip.

“And I don’t get a kiss?” He asks, grinning when you lean in to kiss him as well.

-

“This is the last one,” you declare from behind the door. There’s exhaustion laced into your voice. 

“Look, if this one isn’t the right one either I can go out and buy something else. I know what you like.”

“Yeah, but Temari ordered them especially for the wedding, I don’t want to show up in something else. You know how bossy she can get about these things.”

“It’s not even her own wedding,” Kankuro reminds you. “It’s important that you feel good and that the bride is okay with it.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” It’s quiet for a moment. He can hear you shuffle around and Kanzo’s snuggled into his side, chewing on one of the rings Gaara bought him to help with teething. 

“What do you think?” He asks his son, knowing he’ll most likely not get a coherent answer. “Dress number three was pretty, right?”

“Wrong color,” you remind him.

“I was talking to Kanzo,” He props up his son, mimicking the voice he imagines he’ll have one day. “I think Mommy looked amazing in it. She should keep it for playtime.”

“I don’t think that dress is appropriate for playtime,” you declare, pushing the door open.

Kankuro turns and his jaw slackens. Kanzo, seizing the opportunity, sticks his hand inside his father’s mouth.

“That bad?” You ask, giggling as he sputters around Kanzo’s clammy fingers.

“That’s the dress,” he insists, “It’s perfect.”

“You think so?” You twirl once and he’s already up, catching your hand and pulling you in.

“Definitely. I’d marry you again in this one.”

Kanzo blows a raspberry and you lift him out of Kankuro’s grasp, cuddling him close.

“You think so too? Well, if both my boys agree, I guess I finally have a dress to wear.”

-

“Where’s my favorite sister?” Temari asks, pulling you in. “Which dress did you pick?”

“It’s a surprise,” Kankuro insists from behind you, Kanzo tied to his front.

Temari sticks her tongue out at him before leaning in to tickle Kanzo’s cheeks. He squeals excitedly and so does she.

“My favorite nephew,” she declares, before winking at Gaara. “So far.”

SSBDAY2 | Time Capsule

During spring cleaning with the Uzumaki, Sarada unexpectedly comes across a picture that Nanadaime took post-mission after seeing how Sasuke n Sakura fell asleep like that<3

[sinnbaddie]

I’ll never understand Naruto fans who preach about how good a writer Kishimoto is. You know you’re not getting brownie points for it right?

What irks me especially is when they think they’re better than anyone who has a critique of the writing. I’m sorry Naruto like any written story is not perfect, unfortunately for Kishimoto his story has too many more flaws than certain others.

It also doesn’t mean the series itself is bad, but there are plot holes, bad rewrites and ill thought out storylines. I love Naruto and always will but I’m not a fake fan for having valid criticism

[surachelledraws]

I have recently been released from a DOOZY of a hyperfixation spell. Whew. I was UNWELL. So here's a page of scum villain brain rot

[watermelonsloth]

It’s so weird to think back on myself when I first got into Naruto. Partially because it’s been years and I’ve changed as a person, but mostly because of how drastically different my opinions are now.

Best example of this: I got into Naruto in spite of team 7, not because of them. It wasn’t until I got into video essays and media analysis that I actually started to appreciate their characters and like them (but that transition is a story for another time).

I really didn’t like Naruto. I wasn’t screaming at the screen or groaning whenever he made an appearance or anything, but I was ignoring a lot of the Naruto shaped parts of Naruto. I thought he was annoying at twelve and a flat, stock-standard shounen protagonist in shippuden. I was also under the impression that he had no character arc, which only made me less interested in him. Don’t ask me what show I was watching, I couldn’t tell you.

I was also in the same camp as a lot of others when it came to Sakura. I thought she was deadweight on the battlefield, selfish and superficial with her affections, bratty overall, and way too emotional. It got to the point where I was getting frustrated whenever she started crying. So… not only was I hardcore taking out my insecurities about sensitivity out on her, but I also fell hook, line, and sinker for konoha’s bullshit about ninja not expressing emotions, like a fool.

I didn’t care much for Sasuke, even if I tolerated him more than the others. Weirdly enough, I remember liking him fine personality wise but finding everything plot related about his character boring. His backstory, his revenge, his relationship with Itachi, all boring. I don’t know how I found it boring, but apparently that’s where I was at.

What makes the Naruto boys flustered

Warnings/content: nothing :) Gn! Reader

Characters: Gaara, Sasuke, Neji

A/n: whenever i write one of these, I just pick 2-4 characters I like literally no consistency lol

Sasuke Uchiha

★ Sasuke was never easily flustered or embarrassed for that matter, hes always been able to keep a straight face in most situations but when it comes to you, it’s a much different circumstance. He can’t handle expressions of love very well, whenever you tell him you love him he turns bright red and most the time you’re met with a half hearted. “S-shut up.” ★

★ He’s not a huge PDA fan, he might hold your hands in public but I wouldn’t hold your breath for it. He loves you, he’s just emotionally stunted. He gets really embarrassed when he just gets caught staring whether it be by you or one of your guys’ friends he’d adamantly deny any part of it. ★

★ When you guys are just at your house together he clings to you like no body’s business, as cold and distant as he may seem he loves being close to you even if he has to swallow his pride to do so. If someone like Naruto caught the Uchiha being clingy he’d never live it down. ★

Gaara

★ As the Kazekage, Gaara doesn’t fluster easily. That was until…he met you, his only weakness, someone he’d do anything for. He loves you dearly and can’t help but blush whenever you’re around even if it’s on an unconscious level ★

★ You like being a tease, whenever you’re in a public place whether it be a restaurant or just walking in the park you always have to be touching him in some way, he doesn’t mind but it gets kinda embarrassing when he’s completely flushed in front of the council because of your ministrations ★

★ Or when you guys are just at home and he’s making something for you like the good partner he is and you walk up behind him and wrap your arms around his waist he always folds so fast. His face turning as red as his hair, you have him completely wrapped around your finger. But you know what really gets him? Shoulder and neck kissing, whenever he feels your lips on him he completely melts ★

Neji Hyuga

★ Since Neji did grow up under the rule of the Hyuga he’s not one to get embarrassed or ashamed easily because of his pride and like Sasuke with his stunted emotional growth. He’s not one of much PDA having grown up in a semi conservative clan so at most he might rest his hand on your waist or just hold your hand but no “egregious” displays. ★

★ When you guys first got together he didn’t really *know* how to accept affection so he was actually pretty awkward even without realizing it. Like when you tried to hug him or just hold him he’d get pretty tense unsure of how to react so you definitely had to help him ease into the idea of physical intimacy and affection. ★

★ When you guys are just by yourselves or at your house, sometimes he initiates physical contact by most the time resting his hand on your thigh or kissing your forehead, once he got used to the concept ge actually really started to enjoy those small acts of intimacy, it made him feel warm in his chest and made his cheeks heat up. He shows his love in his own way. ★ …………………………………………………………………………………

A/n: i don’t like these very much, but I hope you enjoyed reading them anyway, it means a lot. :)

ok, i just have to ask about the good and insane naruto fics. what's going on there?

What isn't going on there. [I am so sorry I am answering this ask late. In my defense, I had to get the good fic out in time for Pride month. Yes, this was incredibly important to me.]

I just posted the good fic onto AO3. It's about Obito experiencing somebody else's time travel fix-it and having the most normal possible reaction (kidnapping a child, installing her as a puppet kage, undivorcing Kakashi).

It's actually a fic with Historie (TM). LazuliQuetzal & I first had the idea in fucking 2021, and I wrote a pilot story then. Decided it would never go anywhere, didn't do anything else with it. Came back later after reading butter_peanut, intrigued by Obito, and decided I really wanted to do something with it. I've been putting it down and picking it back up for ages, and it feels bizarre that it's actually off the to-do list. I think I meant to start fully writing it in JANUARY before I got incredibly distracted by like 300k worth of other fics.

I feel like I haven't put any actual good effort into a fic in a while, and Sakuragakure's the first time in a bit that I was really deliberate while writing. I believe that it's okay to write post cringe on main (to an extent.), but if you do then it has to be really good. So I told myself that I'd only write Naruto fic if it was really good. I don't know if this is good, but it is funny and stupid. Which takes the greatest effort of all.

The insane fic is what I worked on to destress from actually writing something good. It exists because I discovered that writing Tobi was incredibly unbelievably fun and I wanted to just write Tobi forever. So. Um. Obito & Kakashi roleswap fic. I know it's been a whole checks watch five hours since I last wrote a roleswap fic, and we all waiting for it, obviously...haha...imagine me going more than five hours without writing a roleswap...

It's highly engaging and interesting to me. I can't see myself posting it as it is, so I may come back and majorly rework it to be something that's remotely postable. I'm not sure I could stand the shame of posting Naruto and my fucking. Fifth? Roleswap fic/series? My fucking fifth? My Fifth? What the fuck? I can't post this. I can't post five roleswap series on AO3. What the hell. What -

Actually, I'll post this on a separate post. I feel like I'm sneaking it in here if I just put it on this post where I ended up talking about something completely different. I'll post a snippet in another post and link it here in a minute. If you want to spite the Jujutsu Kaisen fans and goad me away from working on JJK fic onto that instead then I won't complain (they might).

HERE'S the opening scene of the insane fic.

[viridian-house]

I'm taking him to touch the waters of the Ryuuchi Cave.

not me watermarking my unfinished work 🫣

anko and sasuke from the upcoming chapter of my kakanko fic histrionis, in which anko has some Problems, but so does sasuke. snakes, she figures, are as much the cause as they are the solution. (also, kakashi lends her his shirt for Reasons)

[flower1622]

Fanfic: It's a story created by fans for fun. It didn't happen in our universe. It's not canon.

Canon: It's the real or original story created by the author.

So, it's okay for someone to write stories with Perclarisse and Perachel with mature versions of the characters. It's okay for someone to read stories where Ben and Evie end up together. It's okay for other fans to write a mature version of percico. It's okay to want to read a story where Hinata joins the Akatsuki and Naruto joins her. It's okay to want to read dark versions of your favourite ships and characters. It's okay to write your own points of views of a character...like Annabeth. Someone judged me for giving "a bad personality" for Annabeth. I'm sorry if it offended other people, but it's just a fanfic. But, according to some fans or antis...she really doesn't have a good personality in Rick's version.

With High School Musical is the same thing. I never shipped Troy and Sharpay before. But after whatching Sharpay's movie, i saw she could mature. After i grew up, i saw that Gabriella and Troy were a little boring. So, i remembered that Troy already has a good relationship with Ryan. So, in the future Sharpay and Troy could meet each other and get close, you know? I think they would have more history together because of their childhood and an interesting chemistry as adults. Sharpay being more enthusiastic and Troy being a little more shy.

A fanfic is not totally real. It represents other people's versions of the characters. Anyone can write and have yours. You guys have the canon stuffs... at least let others with different points of views from you have something too.

We all know Percabeth and Bal (Ben + Mal from Descendants) are endgame, but there are other people who have diffent ships. We all know Hinata is a good person, but there are people who would like to see a different side of her...since she had many reasons to become a villain. Not only that, but a character or person won't be 100% good, alright? Everyone has a dark side. Naruto had his. Sasuke has his. Sakura had hers. Kakashi, Obito...and many others. So, why does Hinata need to be different? She is not a saint.

The same with Star Wars. If someome would like to read a story where the Skywalker family was evil, what is the problem? (Maybe if they were, the rebels wouldn't have a chance. So, it's kinda another version of the story)

I like to read dark romances too. I don't have shame to say this. If people judge me and others for liking dark versions of something, just block us, please!
