[finnieforkys]

Sometimes it's hard to tell if i like a foreign food or not. Am i only liking it because it was made to fit my taste buds? Would i also like the authentic version? Did i hate it because it's genuinely taste like ass or did i just had a really bad one?

[A3!] ★ Main Story | Act 14 - DREAM CATCHER | Episode 8 - An Encounter

Kumon: I can’t wait to see Sumi-san’s performance~.

Izumi: I’m glad we’re able to go and see it before it’s over since they’re nearing the finale and all.

*Tires screech*

Kumon: A taxi…?

*Car door opens*

Tenma: Sorry I’m late.

Kumon: Good work! There’s still time before the show starts, so you’re all good.

Izumi: Was work busy today, Tenma-kun?

Tenma: Nah, I wasn’t working today…

Izumi: ?

Kumon: I bought a whole supply of triangles! They were doing a Kyoto fair thing at the store, so I got a bunch of different kinds of yatsuhashi~. (1)

Kumon: I’ve got anko, cinnamon, matcha, chocolate, strawberry, banana, curry--.

Tenma: That’s way too much! Wait, is there really such a thing as a curry one…?

Izumi: What should we do? I know it’s a little early, but should we just head to the theater?

Tenma: Since it’s almost the finale, why don’t we get a bouquet?

Kumon: I wonder if they’ve got any triangle flowers or something.

Tenma: They don’t.

Izumi: Ah, if we’re looking for a florist, I know just the place.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Izumi: Hello.

Towa: Welco-- Wait, SUMMER TROUPE!?!?

Towa: Huh, what are S-Summer Troupe’s Tenma-kun and Kumon-kun doing here!?

Izumi: You know Towa-kun, the Spring Troupe fan I’ve mentioned before? This shop is owned by his aunt.

Tenma: I see, so this is the one you were talking about…

Kumon: Hello~!

Towa: H-H-H-Hello!

Kumon: Okay, so, we’re going to see Sumi-san’s performance now, and we wanna bring him a bouquet as a gift, but--.

Towa: Ah! Misumi-san’s the one who likes triangles, right!?

Tenma: You sure got to the point fast…

Towa: My aunt’s not here right now, so all I have is the bouquets on display, but if that’s okay, then…

Towa: I think this bouquet with yellow dahlias as the main flower matches Misumi-san’s vibe.

Kumon: Yeah, yeah, it’s perfect! It’s super Sumi-san-core!

Tenma: Nice job.

Izumi: Then we’ll go with this one.

Towa: And take a look at this! The paper bag is a triangle!

Kumon: Whoa…!

Towa: It’s just a paper bag so you can hold the bouquet without crushing it, but I thought it’d be perfect for Misumi-san…!

Izumi: It truly is a perfect choice. Thank you, Towa-kun.

Towa: No, I should be thanking you! I’ll have it ready in a minute!

Izumi: By the way, how are things going with your troupe? Does it seem like you’re getting any members?

Towa: I… Tried asking my friends, but they weren’t really…

Towa: Some of them said no because they weren’t interested, while others who were originally interested in theater have already joined other troupes…

Kumon: The more new troupes popped up, the more new members got recruited, huh~.

Towa: I feel like I completely missed the wave.

Izumi: I see…

Izumi: (I’d love to help, but I don’t have anyone who fits the bill in mind…)

Ibuki: Heyyy. Dozono Shoten, hereeee.

Izumi: Huh?

Kumon: What!? Ibukichi!?

Ibuki: What’s with you being all over the place suddenly? Does MANKAI Company just lurk everywhere around here?

Towa: That’s not true!!! It’s something rare!!! Seeing them isn’t something that simple!

Towa: And I shouldn’t get used to being this happy either. I need to remember back when I was in middle school when I was just happy to be able to see them through a screen…

Towa: I’ve been so lucky since I moved here that I forgot all about that. I’d better not take this for granted, or else karma will catch up with me.

Izumi: Never change, Towa-kun.

Kumon: I know what you are! You’re like a die-hard fan, right?

Ibuki: I’m getting like a crazy sense of déjà vu right now. What kanji are in your name again?

Towa: “To” like peach and “wa” like peace, but…

Ibuki: Ah--.

Towa: ?

Tenma: By the way, did you say Dozono Shoten?

Ibuki: Yeah, I’m here to deliver for a grocer called Dozono Shoten. BTW, my IRL name’s Ibuki Dozono.

Ibuki: Daddy loves making Ibuki work real hard all ‘cause he’s got a bad back~.

Kumon: Who would’ve thought Ibukichi’s family runs a grocery store…!?

Tenma: It is pretty surprising…

Towa: U-Umm, so you’re Ibuki-kun? And you know about MANKAI Company, right?

Towa: So are you, maybe like, interested in theater, or…?

Ibuki: What? Hell no.

Towa: Figures…

Izumi: Were you trying to recruit them for your troupe?

Towa: Yeah…

Tenma: This whole one-track mind thing is sounding a lot like someone else we know.

Ibuki: Towa, if you could just sign the receipt for me~.

Towa: Okay…

Ibuki: Well, later, I’ve still got deliveries to make.

*Ibuki runs off*

Towa: Haaah…

Izumi: (Now that I think about it, how did Ibuki-kun know about MANKAI Company if they have no interest in theater?)

Notes:

(1) Yatsuhashi is a type of Japanese sweet made from glutinous rice flour and sugar and typically flavored with cinnamon or matcha. It’s a famous regional product from Kyoto.

[p8567899754nhu]

"He knew revenge was Sasuke's goal yet still accepted him as his student. Even teaching him his signature technique. Sasuke fought Naruto out of anger, not a friendly sparring match .Kakashi was helping Sasuke with revenge til it consumed him to the point he was fighting his own comrades."

1. i think it's an overstrech to say kakashi "accepted" sasukes revenge , when through most of it  he was just indifferent to the idea of his revenge(on introduction, he doesnt care that sasuke's main goal in life is revenge) and kakashi helped shikamaru with his revenge , so I preassume ,revenge isnt something kakashi is inherently against so there is no “accepting” sasuke for a different belief like you paint it out to be . although he never backs on using his goal pf revenge (and feelings for his dead clan) as baits for mocking him when he couldnt match up his expectations (land of waves arc) .

2." Even teaching him his signature technique”?

i mean what was he supposed to do ? send him unequipped to the most brutal round 2 contender(-GAARA who whooped 4 gates lee to the point he couldnt be a shinobi again), why does kakashi doing his basic teacher duties make you gape in awe , a lot of fandom whines he didnt taught it to naruto or sakura (never minding neither of them could EVER use chidori properly since they lack sharingan)  and sakura wasnt even finalized for round 2 . never mind how brutal it was of kakashi to make a severly bed ridden sasuke(who was unfit to EVEN WALK-medical attendant’s words) participate in the match further despite the hokage’s and anko’s (who alone knew what it was like to have a curse mark placed on you) advice and call him to learn the technique when medically ,he was severaly hurt . 

and finally- wtf does it have to do with his stance on sasuke's revenge.

3."Sasuke fought Naruto out of anger.."

oh and since kakashi is omnipotent and  he knew it ? only sakura heard the discourse between the boys so this point of yours ends before its started

and when does fighting being motivated by anger (after just awakening from your deathbed btw) is suffiecient to negate the purpose of someone's lifes -especially sasuke’s for which he was ready to sell his soul and body-to get some semblence of justice for his family, remember  lee attacked sasuke brutally for no reason but to “prove himself” , insulted his clan and even when he had an upper hand in match he was about to use a forbidden technique just to hurt sasuke more .-even when lee is reprimended by gai, gai doesnt negate his life’s purpose - for which lee worked so hard , and even in their battle before sasuke CHALLENGED naruto, he didnt attack him , he only bellitles him (as a cope ,after he is traumatised by his brother for a whole day, humiliated  and almost killed) it is naruto who ACCEPTS the challenge and gets petty never minding the condition of sasuke, it is NARUTO who get ready to pull a rasengan on his “best” friend despite his “bff”, when sasuke had just woken up( from life threatening coma and mental scarring that 1 complete day of torture can give a 13 year old along with being beaten and humiliated )   , naruto getting all riled up -although mind you he first hand witnessed what happened to sasuke , he heard sasuke's screams and the brothers' "interaction" firsthand , neither sakura nor kakashi saw it firsthand , he gets all riled up as his friend just woke from coma like the hyper insecure twat he is -although he couldve refused ? if he possessed any sympathy or empathy for the boy that is even a 13 year old and no one, for a boy he claimed to be his "friend". neither jiraiya nor kakashi reprimands him but anyways ,

4.sasuke pulled a chidori? so , like i said before naruto pulled out his strongest move first what do you expect  sasuke to do ?  beg him to draw out the rasengan ? it is only not only fair for him to have used chidori but actually very obvious, never minding the rasengan was more POTENT than the chidori he used and wouldve hurt HIM regardless. reiterating it again naruto would have severely hurt hurt his friend when his friend is unwell, was brutally tortured and beaten in front of him and just woke up from a coma form which his death was almost certain, just because he is an insecure twat.

so much for love and friendship

[bananaman-mp3]

ok so i finally got to the second test part and a bunch of interesting sasuke stuff happened!! ive seen the name orochimaru around and he seems to be closely tied to the uchihas somehow, he mentioned sasukes brother, itachi, and the joinin in charge of the second test, anko, has also been under orochimarus control before. nasty dude btw. absolutely disgusting, i can see him being nightmare fuel for people who watched this on cn when it aired. mad respect to yall for that. theres something incredibly horrifying in the way he talks about his subordinates too. not only does he leave a literal mark on them but also talks about them like theyre objects. he seems like an incredible villain. hoping and dreading whatever horrors he will bring. i fear for sasuke :(

[darkclouud9]

just from a brief look at boruto art I've already decided that no it's not a style choice but wrinkles ? I suppose. around his eyes. was gonna start this differently based on that oops.

(no wrinkles???? where'd they go >:( gotta conceal that face somehow ig :/) this is definitely boruto too I cropped Hoki out :(

all I wanted to say was like. 46(?) year old Kakashi does NOT look that old and people complaining about Hashirama should shut up, that dude had to have been in his 40s/50s when he died. aging is different and I swear if someone tries to say Hashirama died young again I will commit. he had to have been 40 at YOUNGEST when he died because Tsunade was around 4 (I believe it's stated???) when he died.

hiruzen didn't really start looking old untillllllll. I can't think. he still looked relatively young by the time naruto was born, and he would've been what. 57. still got brown hair. I think you can sort of see him aging in the Kakashi anbu arc since. this would be the few years after narutos birth. and by his death, he's gray and old. yk how it is.

like actually though. his beard is brown.

but I get it though. Hashirama never looks old. even when he's reanimated he doesn't. but aging is differeeeeeeeeennnnnnt. I'd say he'd be mid to late 40's by the time he dies but people always say he dies in his 30's like. okay.

also don't know how some reanimations worked in the war. because Madara lived until his 70's~ but he got brought back in his prime aka like. 30s, 40s. but hiruzen was brought back the same as when he died aka 69 (haaaaah). but Madara was obv different, esp with Obito using rinne rebirth n all. I think it was really only Madara brought back in his prime??? hhhhhhhhanyway

btw people in Kakashi's gen are a bit split on whether they look old or not. Kakashi, Shizune, Gai look like they haven't changed a bit. Anko too, age wise. Kurenai, on the other hand. look how they massacred my girlie ;-; iruka looks super old despite being years younger than them.

also Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru are all. 51?? in og nart?? do they look old to you?? well, I suppose Jiraiya is the only one who sort of ages naturally, but also he has white hair so you can't really tell based on hair. yk. Tsunade uses a jutsu that makes her look younger, and it only ever releases once but you never see her without it. and Orochimaru is Orochimaru. doesn't even look old by boruto. but Kabuto does. Kabuto looks like a fucking mother who's been THROUGH IT. also younger than iruka even so yk.

Sakumo and Itachi also both looked semi old, with both having wrinkles(?) young anyway. Itachi's always had his, even as a kid. you could probably assume Sakumo had his as a kid too but. no baby Sakumo :[ plus he died oldest at like. 33? I don't know, I hc he died at about 29.

[scolek]

tous les jours is the bougiest place ive ever been to. In a way that frightened me, the child of the people jeff foxorthy is talking about in his famous bit. I do not belong here.

Pain au chocolat - i could do the same thing at home with the gricery store croissants and some chocolate chips. Id love to try a fresh croissant one day to see if that mskes a difference but i think im good calling it not for me

Anpan - they had regular anpan, premium anpan, and soboro anpan, and i got regular because i wanted it like the animes.

Ive never had red bean anything before, so this is going to be. A ride.

Ok ive taken it out of the package and its a little soggy. Im not eating in the store btw im in my car in the parking lot. I think they get these shipped in from somewhere because its prepackaged and the package has many sentences of korean on it.

Alright so its like a hawaiian roll with some weird mushy paste in it. The taste of the anko isnt bad but the texture is. Unpleasant. So neither shu nor adonis can give me guidance. Sad!

Honey cheese mochi pancake. Thunder cougar falcon bird. Teenage mutant ninja turtles. These are also pre-packaged, and there’s three of them, so if im not pleased this post will have a grandparent coda

Oh my god theyre also soggy and sticky ahhhh they dudnt give me any napkins theyre too bougie for that i guess.

I need to wait until i get home to try the honey cheese mochi pancake

[swageta]

I was gonna put this in the tags but fuck it. (Spoiler-ish stuff for the anime ahead.)

One of the funniest things about Ogata is that he’s pretty good at manipulating people in certain situations or in the short term—especially if they don’t know him very well.

The people who actually know him/how he operates though? They’re going “Yo this dude is like, the definition of ‘up to no good’. Watch your back around him.” …Yet half of them are STILL shocked Pikachu face when Ogata inevitably betrays everyone like they’ve been saying he’s going to since like, forever.

Sometimes, he’ll give himself away by projecting too much. “Yup. Tome is the name of the woman Sugimoto loves. It’s definitely not my mother’s name. Anyways, his dying wish was to eat anko nabe one last time—that’s totally not what I was hoping to hear from my father as he lay dying from me murdering the piss out of him, btw. I’m completely normal. Now fucking kill me, already. Christ.”

Or occasionally he just “Hey, Asirpa. Did you remember something just now? Something important your dad told you? If you did, you should tell us. Go on. Tell us. Tell us about that thing” until Kiro takes him aside like “Dude. What the fuck WAS all that? You honestly thought that going to work? Be so serious right now.”

So he’s ALSO the guy who brought a D20 to the chess game. He’s throwing it all over the board, knocking over some of the pieces that haven’t been eaten, and occasionally disrupting everything. Almost every roll is either a nat1 or a nat20 and he’s so smug about it that half the players want to shove the remaining pieces down his throat.

im tryin to explain the plot dynamic of golden kamuy in a way that makes sense ok it's like that meme that's like 'the smart kid not understanding how he's losing to me at chess / me eating the pieces when he's not looking' except it's a 4 way chessboard and on one side hijikata's team is the smart kid playing a legitimate chess game while on the other side sugimoto & asirpa are eating the pieces when no one is looking. tsurumi is on the 3rd side eating the pieces when everyone is looking and also biting off people;s fingers . kiroranke was playing on the 4th side but he lost 10 minutes in because asirpa not only ate his pieces but made citatap out of them. ogata is playing the evil advisor gambit for all 4 teams

[its-hitsugaya-himself]

Reading naruto again and bruuuuuh kishimoto dont waste your characters challenge failed miserably, like dude mentioned sakura was a genjutsu type and decided not to do anything about it ever, like ino has a great jutsu and its used like twice in 300 chapters, wheres my man hibiki all this time and anko, but we got those two dudes tecniques lame af btw

[your-mortality-is-nigh]

I AM A DISAPPOINTMENT TO MY ASIAN HERITAGE BECAUSE OF MY FLUFFIBG AUTISM RAAGGGHHHHH

A list on why “I am a disappointment to my Asian heritage because of my fluffibg autism raaggghhhhh” because I am autism

Btw I’m Japanese so most of this is based on Japanese culture

1) I HAVE THE SPICE TOLERANCE OF A *stereotypical* WHITE PERSON cuz my little autistic brain wanted to stick w/ bland flavourless foods, I never got to build my spice tolerance :c

2) I FDUCKING HATE RAW FISH. IDC I HATE IT ITS GROSS IK IM JAPANESE AND SUSHI IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF JAPANESE CULTURE AND IT IS ALMOST GUARANTEED TO HAVE RAW FISH BUT I STILL HATE IT.

I hate the sliminess, the way that it feels in my mouth, the way it feels to chew, the way that it

T A S T E S

I just H A T E it.

3) I dislike anko. It’s a common Japanese red bean filling but idk I just do not like it. I don’t hate it or anything I just dislike it and when I say that to my mom’s Japanese friends they berate me like “HOW DO U NOT LIKE ANKO⁉️”

4) on that note I also dislike natto they’re beans (which I also don’t like) but with this special thing mixed with it that u have to beat with chopsticks/a fork to make the right consistency. And this is what it looks like:

Just L O O K I N G at it makes me sensory ick so it’s self explanatory.

5) this one more personal but I’m loosing my Japanese. I celebrate the traditions and I can understand ppl speaking it, albeit slow but I can decipher what they’re saying, and I can read hiragana and katakana. But my problem is that I can’t read kanji, I can’t write it properly and I can barely keep a conversation in Japanese and I feel like the only thing Japanese about me is my first and second last name, my looks that’s already heavily influenced by white fashion and the fact that when other ppl introduce me, they lead with “he/she (I’m closeted) is Japanese!” And it doesn’t help that I’ve been in French immersion my whole life so when I try to speak Japanese, my brain auto fills with French and I feel like I’m loosing this part of me.

End of post I didn’t mean to vent at the last part, but this rlly got me thinking about my Japanese heritage and how much I’ve grown away from it. Tbh this post was influenced by my brother calling me white (I’m mixed Japanese Canadian) cuz I chose the California rolls so,

[kakashihasibs]

I wanna see Yamato interact with fresh genin. Would he be as willing to use his scary face on a bunch young kid as he his on teenagers? I think he would melt. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body with kids. Teenagers? Sure he'll bully them, but i cannot see him bullying younger kids.

[hibiscusseaart]

DUDDE OMG I LOVE YOUR BRAN AND ART GPDKGKDJFG LOVE IT SMMM

Im gonna yap too cuz im thinking about them all day

first of all Naruto as a Hatake heir omg YES??? Imagine the headache he would cause for everyone. Political nightmare. Like Kakashi probably would take up the position in the clan council just to fuck with people.

Oh and if Ren and Kakashi are married (probably at 18 or smth like EARLY for tax benefit and just in case) so it means Ren is a HATAKE now!!!

Also Ren 100% calls Kakashi his wife, it's not up for negotiations. Kakashi just like to freak out people when Ren (fairly short, nice medic) talks about him like "I don't know, I need to discuss it with my wife..." and then Kakashi appears behind him (tall scary jounin) "Hmmm, to discuss what with me, dear?"

"(He literally tried to murder Naruto when he was less than an hour old.)" <- DUDE LMAOOO

I LOVE Naruto visiting the stone and talking with his uncle Obito who sits near by in the bushes and just "thank fuck they didn't raise a depressed kid, i couldn't handle the 3rd one"

And can you imagine The Feels at the war not only for Ren and Kakashi but for Naruto too? Like THIS is his favourite uncle, his hero who 'died' for his friends? The fuck happened?!

Also the implication that Obito listens to Ren when he visits. Obito is probably being "WHY the fuck are you visiting, you don't even KNOW me!"

Tho I imagine Ren doesn't talk much, just smoking quietly and cleaning up if needed. I think he blames himself a lot since when they were kids he always told Obito how he would look after him and take care of him so he could become a Hokage. And fucking failed to protect Obito in the end. So yeah immense guild and Ren can't even express it. The words just stuck in his throat.

Obito is so confused, like wtf, we never even met.

Omg the massacre. I think Ren would try to lure Sasuke to their house just because he's the last Uchiha and Obito would want them to take him in (Obito literally helped with the massacre but whatever)

Sasuke will be really stubborn and it will be like trying to adopt a stray scared kitten. Naruto would help when he realises what his dad is doing.

Jiraya would probably visit a bit, just to make sure Naruto's and Ren's seals are okay and don't react much on each other.

Isobu will be really well behaved I think. I think Ren is a good host for him since they're both be like "You didn't want it, I didn't want it, so let's just work together and try to be as comfortable with it as we can"

If guilt money doesn't work, Jiraya sends Kakashi more porn (who Ren is ALSO very interested in), some medical things from other countries and gifts for Naruto. It kinda works, Jiraya can find lots of interesting stuff in his travels.

as for their friend group, damn Naruto will have the worst company to grow up in.

I imagine Kurenai (age 15, Naruto is like 1), who is very interested in having a kid one day, asks Ren a lot of questions and coos on Naruto and Ren is just sits there barely alive, cuz Naruto is LOUD and ACTIVE and FUSSY

Anko just looks at all of it once (1) and decides that she will never have kids.

Genma and Asuma (who introduces Ren to sigarets) are just laughing at them and congratulating them on becoming dads. In revenge they're the main targets for babysitting when Naruto is fussy and Kurenai is busy.

Btw Kakashi and Ren def have conflicts about smoking in the house. Naruto joins in later cuz fox gave him enhanced nose.

Ren tries to quit, but it's hard. Like he doesn't ask Kakashi to stop reading porn for example.

oh and they're both freaks about romance novels porn or no porn. They sit on their bed and just reading their own pieces and then share their thoughts.

Obito listens in cuz he's curious lol.

Oh Ren would def recognise Kakashi as Sukea, like he knows his wife.

"Wow, dear, are we Nohara now?"

Thinking about them after the war... Ren and Kakashi feel awkward af cuz like, they're married and they love each other and now here's Obito, who (they think) is still in love with Rin. He's not and he's in love with both of them but well they don't know that. So a bit of drama cuz they don't know but Obito won't fucking tell them cuz he thinks he doesn't deserve it anymore.

At first Obito being totally at home at their house and knowing how they like their food, who does who in the household and ect.

"How do you know all that? Wasn't you busy with your terrorist group at the time?"

"Hey, can a man have a hobby?"

"Which is?.."

"Stalking. I also want to join your book club, I have thoughts on the last book you read before the war"

Later when they get their shit together it'd be hilarious. "This is my wife the HOKAGE Kakashi Hatake. And this is my ex-terrorist husband Obito Hatake."

"Do you have to introduce us like this?"

and yes Obito changed his last name just in pure spite.

btw Kakashi living his best live with not one, but TWO husbands.

@hibiscusseaart

Ren Nohara

Ren and Kks doodles + me yapping ab this AU bc the brain rot has me in a chokehold

close ups so yall dont have to zoom in

I JUST REALIZED THIS WOULD MEAN THAT NARUTO IS TECHNICALLY ALSO THE HATAKE CLAN HEIR URAGHHHH

I NEED TO DRAW HIM WITH ALL THE NINKEN SO SO BADDDDDD

KAKASHI SHARING CLAN LORE BC HE HAS PACK TO CARRY ON HIS CLANS HISTORY AND TRADITIONS BC IT ISN'T JUST HIM ANYMORE SAVE ME SAVE ME

Hatake 'the line ends with me' Kakashi BUT NOT ANYMORE BABY HELL YEAH!! having a spouse and child will do that to you

Now does he really gaf ab tradition? Honestly, probably not but the idea of him not being alone in terms of family/clan is what he deserves (along with a lot of therapy).

HE MAY STILL BE MENTALLY ILL BUT NOT AS BADLY AS THE FIRST TIME AROUND 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Also, the consequences of Naruto having two parents who are both some of the most elite shinobi in Konoha is probably one of the best 'fuck off' deterrents he could have in terms of curbing harassment over his being the nine-tails container.

ALSO ALSO, "I'm gonna be Hokage!" oh and he's wearing those little blue goggles and carrying around the weight of a dead boy's dream without really knowing just how heavy that burden is but still carrying it all the same in the way only optimistic children can. Oh bitch I'm throwing up everywhere. Like yes he's going to bring peace to the shinobi world but he is also giving both his dad's the worst type of heart ache. Seeing doubles because he's so much like Obito but blonde and four times as stubborn.

kkrn trying so hard not to see ghosts in their kid but he's literally a mash up of Minato, Kushina, and Obito. Minato's kindness, Kushina's vitality, and Obito's pure will to be good.

Not saying that ghosts are all they see cause it's very much not. Naruto is still Naruto but sometimes there's that outline of an old memory that just doesn't fade. A little like deja vu I guess. Kakashi and Ren are so glad it's peacetime because even the thought of dandelion blonde beneath a too-big boulder makes breathing that much harder.

I imagine he gets trained an insane amount because both Kakashi and Ren want him to be able to defend himself. Even while it's peacetime, they're shinobi, there's always a risk. So long as Naruto is on active duty he'll always be in danger. With both of his guardians growing up/serving in the third war when they were barely older than Naruto it's practically a given.

Not that I think Naruto would complain about being able to learn jutsu/shinobi skills. He'd probably be stoked about it until he has to spend like four hours straight throwing shuriken and reading survival guides about edible plants. He complains about it. Loudly. mb lil bro half of ninja training is literally just ingraining reflexes and learning the land.

mmm academy-era Naruto going to the memorial stone and ranting about his day to it in the way he's seen both Ren and Kakashi do in the past. That's so cute and sad like "and then Shikamaru slept the whole time but it was supposed to be a GROUP project! Can you believe that!" and Obito is in the bushes nodding his head along like the good uncle he is. (He literally tried to murder Naruto when he was less than an hour old.)

Naruto just talks and talks and talks. About everything and nothing and its probably like the least depressing one-sided conversation Obito has ever heard in front of his grave (looking at you Kakashi, Ren).

I imagine that Naruto kind've treats the stone/Obito's memory fondly. Both Ren and Kakashi talk about him in warm tones and with growing up hearing stories of him it's hard not to feel like he knows him. He's not there, obviously, but if Naruto closes his eyes and imagines that scowling boy in his parent's team photo while he talks it almost feels real. (Honey, you've got a big storm coming.)

To their family, Obito is forever thirteen. He's passionate and has a short fuse. He loves sweets and has eyes and hair darker than the night, he's a sucker for a sob story and helps old ladies with their groceries. Naruto finds it hard not to see a friend in a ghost he's never met.

AA and then post Uchiha Massacre, Naruto just stares at the stone and wonders that if Obito were still here would he be gone too? Man I need to see what's going on in Obito's head during that.

On an unrelated note i wonder where the fuck Jiraiya is in all this. Bro is just out and about doing fuck all as two fourteen year olds take care of his godson and he's running from responsibility😭 i bet he sends guilt money. Ren literally doesn't give a single shit because even if Jiraiya did try for custody he would literally be getting his hands chopped off. No way in hell is Ren letting a pervert like that raise a kid that's a recipe for disaster. The money is nice but Ren could not give less of a fuck ab that mans guilt. Like "oh, you feel bad for not owning up to your God Father title that Minato, my late sensei, entrusted to you? Good."

I need to see Ren and Genma + Anko and Kurenai friendship. They would be a horrible terrible no good amazing friend group. Terrifying when together. Four horsemen of the apocalypse when they have an idea and put their mind to it.

Anyway, what are our opinions on ANBU Ren and Ren meeting 'Sukea' bc that all i've been able to think ab today. Okay, I'm done yapping thanks for listening.

[nblynera]

my fucking tegiri post hit the tag limit bc i wouldnt shut up about troll naruto this is so fucking funny

[justsomeoneunordinary]

okay but have y'all ever considered a female gai?

y'know. tall, big, BUFF gai - but a woman?

gai would still be gai obviously but imagine when puberty hits and her breasts start growing and her voice does not deepen as expected and kakashi suddenly has an oh moment.

there are a lot of oh moments during that time in their generation to which rin and kurenai can only shake their heads - boys are so dumb. kakashi is annoyed at himself; he prides himself at being observant but he didn't see that coming. of course he doesn't start treating her differently, but he does need a moment to adjust. his worldview has just been shattered after all.

(turns out he's not as gay as he thought - he's just gai-sexual)

at some point anko befriends gai. after all, girls have to stick together and freaks have to stick together and gai is both. (the latter are just murmurs she picked up but the moment she heard the word "freak" she knew what she had to do.) they're a rather terrifying duo.

during their adolescence anko tries to bring out the more feminine side of gai - to no avail. ("but anko, i can't fight properly if my breasts bounce like that! that's so unpractical!" "huh, why should i pluck my eyebrows?? i don't see how that's going to help my taijutsu?")

on one evening yuago manages to convince her to put on at least some lipstick with a stupid phrase about youth. (anko is so annoyed she didn't think of such a tactic herself.) kakashi almost has a heartattack. he hasn't blushed this much since the first time he picked up an icha icha book when he was 14. yuago is very smug and anko cackling madly. gai remains as oblivious as always.

obviously, she still has a bowl cut. suggesting otherwise would be blasphemy.

she gets mistaken for a man all the time because of her height, the big muscles and the bushy eyebrows. gai doesn't care - she's the great Green Beast of Konoha, that's all that matters. except for the opinion of her hip and cool Eternal Rival, duh.

when she gets a genin team assigned she's very Excited. lee is also very Excited. (when he accidentally calls her mom one time there are a lot of manly tears flooding the floor below them - yes, manly tears. she was raised by dai after all.) tenten is torn between "oh, a strong and competent kunoichi, a real role model!" and "fuck, that woman is weird". neji is just neji.

seeing gai and lee together for the first time raises many questions. mainly: what the fuck?? kakashi knows he's been pretty out of it during his anbu days, but he's sure he would've noticed if gai had been pregnant. right? right???!!! also, she would've been a very young teen, so it's pretty safe to assume lee is not her son. hopefully. but now he wonders if gai is still a virgin? they're adults so there's a good chance she might've had sex already but with whom?? why doesn't kakashi know about that??? and wow, that opens a whole new bag of feelings he rather kept close, so guess who's going on a month-long mission far, far away from the fire country to avoid dealing with said feelings.

madara totally falls in love with her during their fight. that man has a competency and strength kink (and also totally a thing for bowl cuts), of course he's instantly a goner. kakashi isn't a jealous or possessive character, it's just not him. but he really doesn't like the way madara looks at gai at all. even tho he knows gai will have forgotten madara's name tomorrow already. it's what gives him the necessary kick in the ass to finally make his move after the war.

gai is the big spoon, btw.

she also pegs kakashi until he only sees stars and can't move the next day, so there's that.

Can we get some Kakashi fluff - prompt 17 w/ a gender neutral reader 🙏 … love your writing btw!

[Kakashi Hatake X Reader] Breaking Point

|200 Followers Event|

Prompt: 17 — “Say that again."

Pairing: Kakashi Hatake x gn!Reader

Note: Hello anon, thank you for requesting, and thanks for the comment, too! This one is a very funny one with genin!Team 7 making an appearance! Also, this is the third request for Prompt 17 already :D Without further ado, please enjoy!

You had been practicing one sentence over and over again in front of your mirror for the past several days. You also had plenty of chances to come forth with your feelings. But somehow, you never dared to even start what you intended to deliver during any of your conversations with Kakashi.

Today was like every other day, yet you were extra happy because the stars said it was a lucky day for you. It was not like you based your life on astrological tellings—especially when Anko was the one who told you that—but being a little more excited at the mere fact that today was a lucky day for you would not hurt, right? “You’ll be able to fulfill one of your biggest dreams tomorrow,” you recalled her words from yesterday’s night out with other Jonins and shuddered, the thought of the silver-haired ninja instantly crossed your mind. Probably not.

You swung your flak jacket on and marched to Hokage tower for a new mission. Greeting the guards with a bright grin, you made your way to Lady Tsunade and retrieved your mission scroll. However, things took a different turn.

“Y/N,” the Hokage initiated and you looked up, waiting for her to continue, “this is not a usual partner mission.”

“Yes?” You were confused, you thought she would pair you with some Chunin since it was an A-ranked one.

“You’re paired up with Team 7.”

Team 7—Kakashi Hatake—your confession—oh shoot. You never thought Anko’s words would have such an effect. Seeing your spaced-out expression, the blonde concluded, “They should be here by now—”

“Granny,” exclaimed a yellow-haired even before he set foot in the room, “it took us quite some time because Kakashi-sensei was late, as always!”

The other two kids greeted her respectfully and the Copy Ninja gave a slight bow, “So we will partner up with Y/N here?”

Tsunade answered him and you cleared your throat, secretly swiping your shaky palms against the fabric of your pants, “Alright, let’s get going!”

His three students were so excited, especially Naruto, getting on an A-ranked mission for the first time. They walked ahead of you and Kakashi, letting you two have some space to talk. He was strolling with hands folded behind his head in relaxation. And you… well, not so composed. It was your lucky day, and you were currently granted the perfect opportunity to confess. And maybe he would reciprocate your feelings.

You immediately swatted the thought away, there was no chance he would like you back. Looking over your shoulder, you quietly admired his features. Your eyes traveled to the bridge of his nose, the slight furrow of his brow, the fullness of his lips that was perfectly outlined by his skin-tight mask, and down towards his jawline. He seemed to notice you staring and turned in your direction, making you swung your head to the other side, attempting a broken whistle, “The weather’s nice today!”

“You were staring at me, Y/N. Don’t think I didn’t notice.”

“No, I didn’t. What are you talking about?” You cracked a smile and speed-walked forward to catch up with his students in hope of fleeing the sight, “Hey guys, slow down, please! Wait for me!”

The five of you met at the gates after lunch and started your long travel to the Mist. Everything went fine and your day was about to end there if it was not for the awkward atmosphere that engulfed you and Kakashi. The kids were already asleep in their sleeping bags when the two of you stayed up a little later, arguing about the order of taking a nap and guarding. You insisted he rest first, but he did not comply, solely contending that you should sleep first because he wanted to read some more Icha Icha. You knew it was just another lame excuse of his because he did not even have his book out for the last hour when everyone was awake and having their own quiet time. And for you, you swore you would not be able to rest even if he let you take a nap first because you did not find yourself having the peace of mind to sleep with your crush practically watching. You murmured, afraid to wake the kids up, “I said you should rest first, Kakashi. I’ll watch the fire until you wake up and you can read your Icha Icha then.”

“No,” he bluntly persisted.

“Kami, what should I do with this man?” It was more of a question for yourself than to Kakashi as you drew circles on the dirt with a stick, taking a sip of water.

But after a long pause, he decided to answer you nonetheless, “Tell me why you were staring at me and I’ll go sleep.”

You nearly choked yourself as you gawked at him with wide eyes, “I said I didn’t stare at you!”

“Oh, so embarrassed to admit, huh?” He pressed, finding it amusing to tease you.

“You better stop before I make you, Kakashi!” You raised the stick threateningly.

“You’re too ashamed of your doing that you can’t admit it,” he continued with the same arrogance in his voice that drove you to the edge.

Your patience finally snapped, “It’s because I couldn’t take my eyes off of you, I like—”

Shoot. “You’ll be able to fulfill one of your biggest dreams tomorrow.”

“What? Say that again.” His eye darkened, “I couldn’t hear the last part, Y/N.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me, Hatake!” Your volume increased. Shoot you shot, Y/N. You swore you could pass out due to sheer embarrassment as the bold statement left your lips, “I like you!”

You would make a much more rational decision without the “lucky day” prediction from Anko. Now everything would be so ridiculous—you were on a mission with him and it would probably last for another week or two. Sitting back, you sighed, “It’s okay if you don’t feel the same way—”

He suddenly leaned closer, hovering just above your body as his lips slowly neared your own, “I do, I really—”

“Kakashi-sensei, can you do that in a more private area? I’m trying to get a decent sleep.”

[woman-child91]

I’m going to copy and paste some stuff for a new Minato series that I’ll be working on in a not so distant future. I’ll add the original links at the end.

△What if Orochimaru had trained Minato? ▽

＞ Now, Orochimaru was an amazing prodigy in his generation. Years later, Minato served that role for his generation. Then he ends up under Jiraiya's team. (For this, I'll just assume that Minato's famous skills were just things he had to learn himself.)

Jiraiya isn't exactly a good teacher folks. And if he didn't train Naruto to the extreme while he was under his care during the time skip, I doubt he put any more effort in training Minato to an extreme even while a damn war was going on. But on the other hand, Orochimaru pushed. Sasuke to his limits and back. We see the amazing fruits of that labor once Sasuke reappears and easily handles Team 7. So, let's imagine Orochimaru, a fellow genius, trains Minato with that SAME dedication.

SCENARIO: Minato ends up training under Orochimaru instead of Jiraiya. Noticing his immense potential, he puts more focus on Minato than the other members. Out of his own pride in wanting his student to surpass him, he trains Minato to the extreme and back. How does Minato emerge from this? How much more powerful? How does this change his character? What happens when Naruto is still born? What changes in the Narutoverse?

♤

＞ Honestly Anko would have made so much more sense as Jiraiya's student too, this is a good AU premise!

I think Nerdy bookworm Minato would rub off on Orochimaru, who would finally have someone who actually cared what he had to say about all kinds of esoteric chakra theories, which makes Orochimaru feel appreciated and less drawn to ROOT. Without Orochimaru in ROOT, Jiraiya is able to find out about and stop Danzo's interference in Ame (also, without a prodigy student in Konoha, Jiraiya would be more keen to protect his students in Ame)

My headcanon btw is that Orochimaru was studying ALL of Tobirama's scrolls, and Minato happened to steal the one about Flying Thunder God. Orochimaru reacts by getting really upset, and Jiraiya has to step in to protect the kid, who he inadvertently decides to mentor after seeing how smart and cute Minato is. In this AU, Orochimaru would just go, Fufufu, so you managed to steal from me, hm? Perhaps you are worth my time after all, little boy.

♠︎

＞ If he is Orochimaru's disciple, then he would still become the Hokage (since Orochimaru doesn't really care about becoming one and would gladly support his disciple + Jiraiya still being unfit).

Flying Thunder God is Minato's signature technique. It has no counters and can kill anything so if Minato ends up improving it even more under Orochimaru's teachings, then it would kinda be overkill. If Minato learns from Orochimaru's scientific endeavors and gives himself a bloodline then he could become even more godly.

Minato would be lightly influenced by Orochimaru and the Snake Summons, becoming slightly more ruthless. I think he would influence Orochimaru more though, so that he wouldn't rebel from the Leaf (or Minato would simply use FTG to nab enemy test subjects for Orochimaru so that he wouldn't touch Konoha citizens...).

IDK about how his relationship with Kushina and his genin team would go though.

♤

＞ As a avid naruto fan fiction reader I find this idea absolutely splendid. Yet perhaps the ideology for Minato being a corrupted genius under the influence of orochimaru could take light from this ideal. Perhaps naruto would have been born perhaps the kyubi would have been controlled and contained without causing their deaths perhaps the influence of minato would run down to naruto as well and create some sort of dark genius who sees the world as a realist who lives on the ultimate edge of bypassing all limits and norms to find what they seek. I’m not sure but in all and all I think it’s a good idea.

📓

:)

my" fic where i make a "better" next gen naruto sequel

specifics are under the readmore if anyone wants to chime in LOL

-nh is still technically a thing (but heavily implied brokeback mountain shenanigans with sasunaru), boruto's name is changed to saruto. naruto named him saruto because its a combination of his and sasukes names lol. but everyone's like oh like old man sarutobi" and hes like haha yeah :) [lying]. himawari is still there no changes to her. naruto is less of an absentee dad although hokage stuff does still keep him pretty busy. nh marriage is practically in shambles but theyre trying to keep it together "for the kids" which is working as well as you'd expect it to.

-sarada is sasuke and karin's, they're not married or together or anything they just had a haha oopsie and are co-parenting amicably. sasuke is more involved in sarada's life. karin is not working with orochimaru lol.

-sakura is married to that stone village guy who wrote a fucking love letter to her during the war and they have a son

-shikamaru and temari are still a thing but theyre both comphet as hell and cant stop thinking about men/women respectively. shikadai is a girl, her name is shikamari or something idfk. she's still playing the same role of "assigned babysitter at birth" to saruto that shikadai does to boruto lol.

-ino and sai are in a lavender marriage. they are bffsies and decided get married and have inojin when they were both talking about how much they wanted a family but were having trouble finding partners. sai borrows ino's crop tops all the time. inotema and shikasai ship teases btw.

-no changes to choji/karui and chocho besides maybe a personality change for chocho. her design was so cute but she's so grating fr!!!!!

-i would make yamato/anko a thing because i think we need a wood style using kid. also i think they deserve better than what they've got going on in boruto honestly. i've been calling their hypothetical kid hana

-jiraiya child or grandchild or something. we know he's a slut we need a descendant of his in that's hopefully more tolerable.

-more characters around mirai's age? she's like in her early 20s who tf does she got. idk. i havent gotten far in boruto to see.

-BRINGING HIDAN BACK WE HAVE TO DIG HIM UP

my biggest difficulty here is figuring out what i want to do with mitsuki's existence as a whole. because i fucking ADORE HIM. but like. i really dislike that orochimaru gets off scott free for his crimes. kabuto is different on account of being the love of my life who did nothing wrong and frankly i just assume he slonked kakashi off in the hokage office to be forgiven for his war crimes. and so i plan on writing kabuto at the orphanage still and shoehorning in sayato perhaps because its my story and i make the rules but for orochimaru it's hard lol.
