I've always thought that Kishimoto creates a great relationship between children and villains.

if tobirama existed in the 80s young ryo horikawa would be my first choice to voice him

[chaos0pikachu]

is it still rpf is they historically wanted or did fuck each other? asking for a friend

Ranmaru Kageyama and his transgender swag

I have it in my head that all his shirts are crop tops, and if a shirt isn't cropped, he takes a pair of scissors and cuts it himself

Fabulous Females

Summary:

Being a woman in a man's world isn't easy.

(But who needs easy?)

Rating: Mature Fandom: Naruto Relationship: Tenten & Kurotsuchi & Karui & Kurosuki Buntan & Temari & Karin, plus a host of others! Word Count: approximately 16K (Complete and posts one chapter daily)

This story is for @spookythevoidsinger​, @dawen​, @dominaaurum​, @greencuttingmat​, and @kurakura0-0​, all of whom chimed in on my discord server as I was writing it and suggested so many of the ideas which made it into this story.

Truly, it takes a village.

Kurotsuchi creeps into the room, silently thanking all the gods that the daimyo of Hatō no Kuni is arrogant enough not to pay for proper guards. If this monstrosity of a castle was being patrolled by shinobi from Amegakure, this would be a lot trickier.

As it is though, he puts far too much faith in his nobles and their soldiers.

She crawls down the walls, careful to avoid placing even the slightest pressure on the nightingale floor - she doesn't want to give herself away now, not after she spent so much effort getting into a country she has no business being in - and stretches her hand out for the pot which rests in the tokonoma.

An unassuming brown and made out of simple clay, she has trouble imagining that this is one of Kumogakure's greatest treasures, a tool handed down from the Sage of Six Paths himself. But everything her people have been able to discovers says that it's the Kohaku no Jōhei, and she smirks as she lays a hand on it.

Only... it doesn't move.

Is it... stuck?

She grabs it with both hands and yanks, only to find herself tugged in the opposite direction.

"Sorry, but this one's mine." The amused voice is low for a woman, but unmistakably feminine. "Don't you see our symbol on it?"

Read the rest on AO3.

Socra’s Naruto Liveblog, Ep. 152-157

(aka the Kurosuki Removal Mission)

Ep 152:

-anddd we’re already starting with someone getting buried alive. Yikes.

-goddamn Naruto is really just carrying three whole adults on his back

-LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MY SPECIAL SON AW HE WORKS SO HARD

-Anko stealing Tsunade’s food was kinda iconic

-I love that Tsunade calls Gai’s team “your kids” lol

-and then Gai really said “I love those kids more than anything in the world”, MY HEART 😭

-Naruto is so much shorter than all of Team Gai lmao (altho in my head Tenten is very short)

-I stan Lee so hard. He could literally say anything and I’ll just smile and be like “that’s my boy”

-Neji has really chilled out so much from before the Chunin Exams, he actually was kinda smiling at some of Naruto’s antics

-Gai and Lee running in their sleep is so unserious

-oh my god as someone with really bad spice tolerance, I felt for everyone so much when they tried the curry

-omg the curry was so spicy it made Neji activate his Byakugan, that’s actually fucking hilarious

Ep 153:

-the graveyard of people who were buried alive is one of the darkest things I’ve seen in the show so far I think

-between this mission and the beetle mission, it’s so interesting to see Naruto interact with other teams and clash with their established dynamics and way of doing things

-who the FUCK is this Raiga dude talking to on his back. It’s so creepy

-I don’t like the way Karashi talks

-I love Lee’s little notebook

Ep 154:

-I’m very curious about the abilities of whoever the Ranmaru person on Raiga’s back is. Whoever they are, they seem to be super powerful

-ohhhh fuck the kids are in trouble

-Lee fighting in his sleep will never not be funny

-ah so Ranmaru is very much another Haku situation then. The show even acknowledges it

Ep 155:

-again, the way Karashi talks annoys me. His hair slays tho

-the black tornado jutsu with the Kurosuki goons all stacked on top of each other was deeply unserious

-yay I like that we’re actually getting to see Tenten fight!

-god Lee has such a big heart

-Grandma Sancho is kinda an icon. I love little old lady characters

-I know there’s still two episodes of this arc so I’m just waiting for shit to go wrong now

-this is extremely off-topic but Ranmaru’s hair is literally the same as Bugsy’s from Pokemon Gold and Silver

-welp. Shit went wrong.

Ep 156:

-oh god Tenten is going to get her ass kicked isn’t she

-wait okay she actually put up a decent fight

-also Tenten stabbing her wooden staff into Raiga’s foot made me giggle

-ugh Karashi is such a whiney lil bitch. He needs to take a page out of Kimimaro’s book and grow a spine (see what I did there lmao)

-welp rip Neji and Naruto. It’s fuckin LEE time now

-AW SHIT THE WEIGHTS ARE COMING OFF

-Tenten is both nice to Ranmaru and also kind of done with him

Ep 157:

-the animation of Lee tumbling down the rocks was fucking hilarious

-oh Grandma Sancho the icon that you are-

-oh my god Lee is such a fucking GOOBER

-Ranmaru is seriously OP as fuck

-also Ranmaru trying to guide Raiga and himself off a cliff is some dark shit

-YESSSSS DRUNK LEE COMEBACK

-the animators must have so much fun animating drunk Lee

-I feel like Neji passing out each time he’s fed the alcoholic curry of life is confirming that he’s both a) a MEGA lightweight and b) a sleepy drunk

-Raiga has kinda overstayed his welcome, I needed him gone like an episode ago

-okay I will say that him going out in a literal blaze of glory via lightning was kinda epic tho

-aw Ranmaru is staying at the curry shop! That’s really nice actually:)

-Lee is such a cutie patootie

[philosophicalparadox]

I've read your comments (great!) on the meta post and I wanted to say I also have this HC about a wakashudo tradition in Kiri, or at least in the seven swords men. Supported by Zabuza and Haku, Raiga and Ranmaru* (who was named after a wakashu historical character according to Narutopedia) and Fuguki and Kisame

*considering Ranmaru is a filler arc character, I think the wakashudo references in Naruto were not a surprise or secret

*checks notes* Holy Shit You Are Right!

I all but forgot about Ranmaru. Creepy vibes from that, but definitely makes sense in context. Sneaky, Kishi. Sneaky.

You have no idea how much this tickles me. I’ve got plenty of ideas where Kisame and Mangetsu are concerned about the whole thing, respectively, considering that they seemed to be the only two who actually liked each other. (Not in a ship-them-together sense, though I’m not opposed to that notion)

Ah, thank you dear. I’m chuffed.

I'd like to know if there's anything you'd like to do with Aburame Chiyako, even if it's a project that's infeasible for you? (she's my favorite character to come out of DoS, bar Shikako herself)

Hi loveelemental! :D

I also love Chiyako: she is one of those parts of DoS that just really hit home about how much consideration and detail SQ put into making Naruto into a full and expansive world. And also she is very cute.

(,,> ᴗ <,,)

I did write what’s behind (and what’s before) which is Chiyako-centric, but that doesn’t really lend itself to further expansion/installments. Or, at least, none that interest me at this moment in time.

As I mentioned before, I would maybe want to do a Chiyako POV in the bleak!Primadonna-verse, mostly because it would be a lens to do further political shenanigans—what with Chiyako being the heiress to the Aburame but also, now a fully fledged adult jounin with a team of genin, some of whom would ALSO allow me to frame political shenanigans. But I suppose, just being able to write that team would be fun even without the bleak!Primadonna-verse.

A but to that but, though, is I don’t really know what that plot would look like—if it’s a mission fic, what mission is it? Or if it’s a time/dimension travel when/where do they go? Or, are they the “hosts” receiving the wayward travelers? In which case, who are those travelers? Since it’s Chiyako, I would assume Shino and Shikako because I will forever, forever, love JohnBurtonLee’s I Got You their dynamic in that is SO GOOD. SO PERFECT. A+ fic forever, forever. However, for symmetry’s sake, maybe it should be a different Team Eight—either the canon one we see with Team Kurenai, or my headcanon Team Hana with Chiyako, Hanabi, and Ranmaru.

I feel like I’m not being fair to her. Because god knows I’ve spun off at least a half dozen varying concepts around Aoba, for example, but it’s like… she is one of the rare cases where meeting Shikako has given her stability in her life? Like… most other characters when meeting Shikako are thrust into wild situations and are forced to either adapt or submit to the chaos pretty quickly. But for Chiyako she: has a cool new role model, doesn’t get bullied anymore, a regular invite to the kunoichi club, playdate/training sessions with several of her classmates (and possible future teammates) who seem to like her back. There’s not much drama there…

I mean, there’s clan politics that could be interesting—but I also feel like the Aburame are so logical/steady that there’s not much drama there either?

Ooh, I guess there could be like… a Chiyako-centric fic (feat. Hanabi) which nominally is a Team Hana fic but is actually about how Chiyako and Hanabi are foils for each other. Heiresses to their clans instead of their older siblings, but with vastly different relationships with said older siblings. Their respective clans themselves are similarly foils of each other: the Aburame reviled externally but internally warm with each other, the Hyuuga with their pretty privilege and position of being Konoha’s current most powerful bloodlimit allowing them to get away with a literal slave/torture seal. And of Team Hana they do have the sun-coded vs moon-coded vibes of the team.

Hm, yeah, I think something exploring Chiyako and Hanabi’s dynamic would be the most compelling to me—whether that is in a “canon” fic or a warring clans era AU or the bleak!Primadonna-verse or…

Okay, so this may be because I’ve been reading a lot of trash manhua lately, but I think that dynamic would be best displayed in that one unnamed royalty/nobility Shikaara AU (in which the tabloids have made minor-nobility!Shikako and youngest-brother-of-the-Sand-Queen!Gaara literally bumping into each other during Temari’s coronation the sort of fairytale romance of the century). BUT instead it would be about, a different aspect of the AU in which two young duchesses-to-be maneuver the difficulties of being nobility and teenage girls and also, unfortunately, paparazzi exist.

naruto lecturing ranmaru about how he must remember that he has other friends now and that he shouldn't just focus on raiga AND warning him about how he shouldn't want to die with him AND that he shouldn't let raiga hurt him anymore is the funniest thing ever like...... boy 🤔😐🫵🫣

[frootlooptime]

im rewatching naruto i love that taking in orphans is a bad guy thing LMAO youve got zabuza and haku, orochimaru and kimimaro (also zaku ig, mans got a army of orphans tbh) raiga and ranmaru

[erumai-maadu]

16, 20, 28 and 29 for the naruto ask thingy ⚘

16) how long have you been into naruto

screaming sobbing throwing up ive been into this stupid show since MIDDLE SCHOOL. My tastes have changed tho, Sakura was my fave when I started the show, and then I rewatched the show in high school and fell head over heels for Tenten.

20) do you own any naruto merch

no but I want that one Tenten figurine SO bad, and I'll prolly get a rock lee or neji figurine at some point.

28) favorite filler episode

it's a hard choice between shippuden 184 and shippuden 237. Both are Tenten-centric episodes (ofc), and they both focus in heavily on her insecurities/struggles and how she deals with them.

29) favorite arc

I really liked the Curry of Life arc from the original series fillers, those episodes gave Tenten a lot of screentime and fights, and were also a fascinating look at her personality. They give her really nice moments with Ranmaru which show her morals and her thought processes, and it's cool to see.
