Something about Naruto’s character has always made me so incredibly sad and horrified and I have no idea why. I don’t know if it’s due to his different treatment to both his parents, something about him immediately punching Minato the moment he realized that was his dad, that his father was the one to give him such a heavy burden, or something about him sobbing his little heart out and holding onto his mom the moment he met her. Like the little kid he was when he lost her (literally as a newborn) and the little kid he still was when he first properly met her.
Or maybe is something about how much he holds on to whoever doesn’t treat him badly. Even if he’s just being ignored, his sole existence not being acknowledged, he isn’t being treated like a filthy animal. Maybe not being treated badly was what Naruto thought love was. Maybe that’s why he’s always hold onto Sasuke. Because, in a way, they were one and the same, at least in Naruto’s eyes.
He doesn’t care for where does that love come from, or from who. As long as he’s not being hurt then Naruto is bound to think that that’s love. Because he grew up without it, so he doesn’t know how it should feel like.
Maybe it’s something about Naruto’s emotional dependency that has always made me so horrified and upset.
#naruto#naruto uzumaki#naruto angst#angst#these are just my thoughts#don’t take this too seriously#writing#going feral#writing this on the middle of a wet meltdown#naruto uzumaki deserves better#why has nobody ever talked about narutos insane dependency on people?#like#it’s right there! it’s so fucking obvious#he also probably has AuDHD#headcanon#everyone always talks about Kakashi#or Sasuke#or itachi#or even neji#but what about our favorite golden retriever ?

Enjoy from a quick sketching session this morning on procreate
I’m just….UGH NEJI WOULD’VE BEEN THE IDEAL FATHER AND BORUTO WOULD’VE LOOKED UP TO NEJI AS A FATHER FIGURE WHILE NARUTO WAS BUSY…KISHI COPPED OUT WITH THIS ONE….there I said it with my whole chest.
As you can see, Meiten can be a bit stabby-hotheaded-pants like her mother sometimes… Their kids may mostly look like Neji but their personalities are definitely Tenten. They have their work cut out for them for sure!
Just some quick sketches of the kids. I’m missing ChouChou and Inojin but they would’ve made up the squad.

kishimoto did not draw all these shirtless guys, including at pivotal plot moments, for you to call the reverse jutsu “filler”…

#naruto#also fascinating that sasuke can be straight despite repeatedly being unineterested in sakura. but can’t be gay even though he repeatedly#shows interest in naruto.#also “no one thinks neji is gay- i have to laugh…#ALSO also i love the character growth naruto goes through wrt the reverse sexy jutsu. he got over his internalized homophobia <3

I felt like drawing some of the genin teams with swapped powers so here’s a preview of Lee with the Byakugan
#naruto#my art#rock lee#it was weird drawing Lee with Byakugan eyes but it was even weirder drawing Neji without them

thing about tenten is that in many ways she fails to "pass" as a girl by naruto gender rules. like gender in naruto is a whole Thing that frankly i'm not even close to qualified to talk about but i do think that it's interesting that although tenten's character brushes by some traits considered feminine by the narrative she ultimately fails to commit to any of them. when she's first introduced she seems like she has a crush on sasuke but that gets dropped and never mentioned again fairly quickly. she doesn't just not become a mednin- she is incapable of medical jutsu. in boruto, she has not settled down and gotten married and had kids! this combined with her unusual level of brutality for any naruto character (see: weapons as grounded in reality + therefore more understandable violence) and lack of heritage does make tenten the most "undeserving" of the konoha 12. she isn't fitting into the cultural framework of a "good" ninja. but she's here anyways.
#now think about neji and hinata and performing masculinity and lose your mind#neji is the son hiashi wishes he had. but he's stuck with hinata. and well i DO think hinata's a guy for. you know.#so that's even more. thought provoking.#but um. neji has to fight perfectly + perform gender perfectly to be allowed any dignity#and tenten is fighting wrong ad gendering wrong. and the narrative doesn't look at her for it. but she's winning life.#PLUS rock lee and disability + gender? literally really interesting to me!!!!!

the thing that pisses me off about the sasuke retrieval arc is. there was no reason whatsoever for tenten not to be there. not in-universe and not from a meta perspective. it makes zero sense to leave her out and it makes shikamaru look like an idiot
#naruto#naruto crit#tenten#nara shikamaru#sasuke retrieval team#''oh but shikamaru didn't know tenten'' yeah well neji did. neji knew tenten#hell even lee showed up and he'd literally just gotten out of surgery#i can understand the logic behind every other girl getting left out even if i don't agree with it#shino not being there also makes sense bc he was off doing something with his dad#obviously sasuke wasn't an option#also kiba chouji naruto and neji are ALL close combat fighters. shikamaru was their only mid-long range guy#and what he could do with that was incredibly limited#tenten has the most flexible skillset range-wise there was zero reason to leave her out

Naruto deals with gender issues for yearsssssss until Gaara bitches him. Now hes in euphoria constantly because he’s an omega now just like he’s always felt like
#trust#was thinking about neji#but tbh I think only harassing could#cuz#he’s the only one that could survive it going wrong as another jinchuriki#or if Naruto’s instincts made him fight back hard enough he’d literally kill anyone else#baby alpha Naruto not feeling right at all#and acting like an omega despite how he presented#it weirding people out because hai scent is harsh and violent—even more so than a usual alpha bc of Kurama inside of him#naruto#naruto uzumaki#sabaku no gaara

let’s remove everything about the hyuga clan dynamics from this conversation for just a moment — can we talk about how scuffed it was that anyone from team kurenai had to fight anyone from team gai
#char chats#looking strictly at the genin era#let’s give shino his flowers here#all respect to him#we’ve seen neji vs bugs and neji won that one#(by fighting them all off individually and simultaneously. (which was a choice.) i digress.)#it stands to reason neji would beat shino#and we saw him best hinata#and kiba might think otherwise but neji *is* stronger than him#hinata doesn’t know how to do the rotation rn and there’s no guarantee she would choose to use that if idk tenten rained weapons down on her#and i solidly believe rock lee lands between neji and hinata in terms of taijutsu ability#kiba has the numbers on his side in any given 1v1 because it will always be a 2v1 in his favor#shoutout akamaru#if he can overwhelm his opponent physically he can win#it really comes down to if lee could get in a close enough range quickly enough to mess kiba up (i believe he could)#and/or if tenten could match kiba’s energy and overwhelm him with a torrent of weapons crashing down on him (a toss up tbh)#so let’s pretend kiba vs tenten is happening and they’ve both exhausted a lot of power.#tenten is down to her basic gear (if even) and akamaru has been benched for his safety (or is out of commission)#…it’s a taijutsu battle then. tenten is going to win.#shino could beat tenten if he could gross her out#otherwise she’s closing in her range (as would lee) and turning this into another taijutsu fight#naruto#team kurenai#team gai

I can’t believe Kishimoto killed off half of the only other tolerable couple besides Shikatema lmao. I would’ve loved to see Neji and Tenten together in Boruto, but instead we get ships that need to mischaracterize the characters involved to work and the worst matchups.
#its funny how there actually are ships that couldve worked yet kishi picked the worst ones 😭#tenten#nejiten#neji hyuga#shikatema#anti boruto#even weirder that they like have no romantic development but i like them better than half the canon couples#organic chemistry i guess

I was doodling a bit and I figured I’d express my idea of how Tenten and Neji would contrast in training their children:
How Tenten trains with her kids :
Of course they’d be impressed by how their mother never misses her mark.
Dialogue:
Tenten: C’mon now, kids. Remember what I taught you!
Meiten, Nozomi, Hizashi: Perfect aim!
Neji: your mother is Konoha’s Legendary Weapons Master for a reason.
Vs.
When Neji trains with his kids:
Tenten finds it hilarious that Neji insists on forcing the three of them to try and work together to land a hit on him…kind of like how Gai used to make Lee Neji and Tenten spar when they were gennin….
Dialogue:
Neji: what is going on with you three? You lot got easily tangled up!
Tenten: pfftttt~ heehee
Meiten: Papa is so merciless when we train together! No fair…
Hizashi (to his brother): Ugh, Nozomi got in the way! Not mom laughing at us…
Nozomi: Hizashi, get the hell off of me! I lost focus ‘cause of you.

one of the most irritating aspects of neji’s death was that it was boring.
the emotional impact came from the fact that he died, and nothing else. not the characters’ reactions (which were lukewarm at best), not the emotions building up to it (it kinda came out of nowhere), not the aftermath or the depiction of grief (which were generic side notes). it’s like if you AI generated a death scene.
idk how to articulate this but ugh. it’s just such wasted potential
obviously id prefer if he didn’t die. but killing off a character is fine as long as its good and impactful storytelling. even independent of how ass of a conclusion to his arc it was, Neji’s death was just not that.
#neji#Neji hyuga#naruto#late night ramblings#like if you rewatch the episode/reread the chapter there’s no heart wrenching details/buildup. The actual tragedy (him fulfilling fate) is#just not even discussed at all#it’s just a death. the only thing that sets it apart is that the sacrifice aspect was mediocre at best and straight up bad writing at worst#Like the only reason we care is because he’s a good character and killing him is an upsetting choice#But his death was not written to appear tragic even though it clearly was#I need to stfu#delete later
