#tsunade's helping tho

[oh-no-its-bird]

Sakumo being a super popular borderline sex symbol in his era will never stop being my favorite hc, I need to see more of it

All the people his age and younger had a crush on him. It was just a Thing(tm) where 9 times out of 10, a Konoha shinobi's first crush was probably Sakumo. Even other villages young shinobi hung up his bingo book picture above their bunk and dreamed of both killing him, being killed by him (in a hot way), having a battlefield fling with him, and more. There was blackmarket fanfiction. He was incredibly popular among civilians all over fire country. Some popular romance novels had love interests very blatantly based off him.

Even before they were on a team together, Obito and Rin both had a silly kid crush on Kakashi's dad (Obito more than Rin) and he was aware of it. This did not help make him like them any more. (By the time hearing smthn positive ab his dad would have made Kakashi softer, they'd both gotten better at hiding the crush, so to Kakashi it looked like they'd gotten over Sakumo.) Even Minato had a bit of a thing for him, not really but like— strong, popular, feard and very friendly ninja who is now paying him some attention (bc hes his kids teacher) he's not immune. Kushina understands, she is also not immune. (Kakashi is going to throw a fucking fit)

Even after his failed mission, when his reputation crashes and burns within the village, he still can't completely shake his admirers— they possibly just get more disrespectful ab the attraction when it mixes with the hate. (Which tbh could make for an interesting discussion all on its own)

Kakashi is haunted by his father's insane popularity for decades after his death. He does his very best to ignore the lingering evidence of people being insane ab his father.

One day he realizes one of his favorite romance novels has a romance interest based off Sakumo and has a break down ab it and can never read the series again.

When raiding an old abandoned enemy camp w Team Ro, he finds an old, autographed photo of his dad covered in lipstick marks in the communal bathroom. He chooses to ignore it but it's quickly spotted by his teammates, who do not know who Sakumk is, and v quickly begin to remark on the poster, who this mysterious Konoha nin is, and ahaha damn he is kinda good looking, huh? (Kakashi wants to DIE)

Shisui ends up taking the poster back to Konoha with them and hangs it up in the ANBU communal quarters where it is VERY quickly recognized. And also some of the people in that room recognize it so quick bc they also used to own a similar poster. (Kakashi wants to DIE someone PLEASE kill him now)

Its only when he's given team 7 that he finally thinks he's escaped the legacy of his father as Konoha's Most Sexiest Shinobi. Only for Naruto, when being trained by Jiriyah, to find his drafts for Icha Icha very clearly inspired by his dad. Which he can never publish for multiple reasons (lingering respect for Sakumo. Also for Kakashi, who is his biggest fan and would probably never look at him again.)

Naruto somehow accidentally brings this up with Kakashi who like. Has war flashbacks and immediatley stands up and walks away as Jiryah scrambles to try to explain himself and Tsunade looks on in scorn (she will approach him later to carefully ask for the drafts while trying to seem like she's not really asking for them bc she's too proud to admit it)

Naruto and Sakura discover Kakashi-sensei's dad was a sex symbol. I don't even know how they'd react but like. Oh my god. Oh my god you guys.

Funniest option would be they accidentally revive his popularity a little bit by being so loud ab it they like, remind people ab him. + introduce another generation to the idea of him

Kakashi is crouched on the floor with his face in his hands. When will he be freed from this hell.

Sasuke does not escape tho, he goes to sound and finds a picture of Sensei's dad in Orochimaru's office (???????)

This is such a shitty sketch but the vision:

Itachi, who learned who Sakumo was from that poster thing, goes on to find a photo of him in ""Madara's"" belongings and gets super weirded out but ultimately doesn't. Super care. But also. Like. What. What.

After Itachi finds the photo, which Obito genuinley forgot he fucking had and keeps in part just bc its like one of the only belongings that remained from his Konoha days, he shoves it somewhere in Kamui to forget about.

But then in the Obito vs Kakashi Kamui fight, it fucking flutters down in the middle of the fight and Obito fucking dies of humiliation as Kakashi realizes he will truly Never Escape and that this reality is his own personal hell

Uhh endgame Kakashi becomes Hokage and accidentally retreads his father's path in becoming the new Konoha Sexy Man. Which simultaneously crushes him (he will never escape) and fills him with delight (he will now be able to impart the pain of having your father figure be lusted after by all ur friends and acquaintances onto his students)

[hibiscusseaart]

Had a dream today and I'm evolving it as I go here

The main idea that Rin didn't die when she tried to unalive herself by Kakashi's hand, but Obito was already traumatized and got in with Madara's Moon Eye plan. So yada-yada, she's the jinchuriki of Sanbi. BUT the difference was that she decided to come out of the closet (a real tight one cuz of her clan but she almost just DIED what to regret now) that she's actually a guy. So FTM Rin guys. Rin is he/him from now on.

He wouldn't change his personality and crush on Kakashi much. Dude is a medic, have you met medics? My extended family has a lot of medics in ER and other and let me tell you, they're ruthless and give 0 fucks.

Oh and since he's a medic he has top notch access to remove his own boobs and change his hormones fucking manually.

I think he would rethink his crush on Kakashi, like, man, he's a loser, plus it's hard to crush on someone who you thought killed you (even tho you made him) AND Kakashi has doomed love with 'dead' Obito and it's a bummer.

Idk about his name tho, he probably would change it just to, unknowingly, create more confusion for poor Obito, who is SURE that Rin is dead-dead and fucking Konoha didn't even made a grave for her and Kakashi doesn't even VISIT.

Madara and Zetsu obviously don't tell him about his development. They don't need him to have a hope in this world again.

Kakashi is just glad that he didn't kill his teammate and maybe they connect better since "Rin" (listen i NEED a name for him, but i have 0 ideas about meaning or what ever. maybe he'd take something to honor Obito's memory?) doesn't crush on him anymore and maybe he's trans too?? idk about it yet but he might act warmer to "Rin" now.

So Obito is just confused, like WHO is this dude from Nohara clan who is now with Kakashi ALL the time (they're still best friends). He doesn't connect that this brown haired (!) medic (!!) from Nohara clan (!!!) with the same marks (!!!) same age as them (!!!!!) might be Rin. like no, nope, Rin a nice gentle lady, not this smoking dude who yells at Kakashi and curses at him cuz he run away from hospital again.

So yeah Obito is just not impressed. But intrigued. And jealous. He stalks Kakashi AND this guy all the time. May develop a crush on both, cuz "Rin" is still the same at his core.

Kakashi would still go in ANBU cuz Minato asked him (still not sure about it, like yeah lets put deeply traumatized 13 yo in assasin squad good job) and stuff.

So idk how canon would go from there, like i doubt that Minato would let 14 yo jinchuriki near another one at this tense situation, even tho "Rin" could've help.

So yeah Kushiha and Minato die, "Rin" barely holds onto the Sanbi but Obito finds out that the guy is holding them. He doesn't connects the dots. Or he does? His mind just CAN'T hold on to the fact that his Rin MIGHT survived.

But maybe "Rin" was closer to the place where they sealed Kuubi in Naruto (maybe he ran there cuz there's Kuubi rampaging and he HAS to help) so Minato entrusted Naruto to him, not to fucking Sandaime.

So yeah, now "Rin" is Naruto's legal dad at the age of 14 and no one can fucking take him away cuz a) it was Minato's dying wish; and b) just fucking TRY to peer "Rin" away from Naruto, you'll get your hand bitten off and NO arguments work, cuz "Rin", who was trained by Kushina in jinchuriki stuff, can make some sort of turtle shield and he hides in it with his new baby and no one can do anything.

And no one can protect baby jinchuriki better than the other jinchuriki so it's fine. Everyone just accepts it.

(Isobu laughs at Kurama cuz haha im the older sibling now :))

Naruto is bullied less but I think no one can tell him about his parents cuz Sandaime sucks ass. But "Rin" drops HUGE hints cuz he hates Sandaime now too. Like no shit Tsunade left.

Idk what would happen with Obito if he finds out about "Rin's" identity. he'd come back crawling and crying probably. Maybe try to kidnap him and cry more in Kamui.

update: added sketch

[sakuraharuno156]

I really don't understand the hypocrisy of some Naruto fans - a rant. Part 4

(Trigger warning - anti Hinata)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The things that I have seen in the Fandom really make me question people's ability to read.

PART 4

(I want to provide manga as a proof, but Tumblr has a limit of pictures i can add, so I'll do it in parts)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. What Hinata fans think happend:

HINATA SAVED THE WORLD BY TALKING TO NARUTO. IT'S ALL THANKS TO HER.

What really happend:

Naruto talked to KURAMA, and it's KURAMA who made Naruto realize he has to continue to fight. Not Hinata. After Hinata finished talking - Naruto was still on the floor. He got up after KURAMA helped him.

It's like me saying that Sakura saved Kakashis eye after it was taken. Like sure, she started it, but is it Sakura's achievement? NO. Naruto fixed it. 🤷‍♀️

2. What Hinata fans think:

OBVIOUSLY HINATA IS STRONGER THAN SAKURA. Why? Because she's family of the MC, and family of the MC is always the strongest!

Whats the truth:

Kushina was the junjuriki of the strongest beast and mother of the MC, yet still:

The strongest was Tsunade 🤷‍♀️

3. What Hinata fans think:

Hinata is stronger than Neji since the WAR ARC.

What really happend:

Hinata at 17, fighting for dear life to do 64 palms, thinking it's her maximum and wobbling while doing so.

13 yo Neji, doing it perfectly (even tho he had to learn it on his own) without breaking a sweat.

Hinata running for dear life to cover Naruto, saying how fast were those rods, having no time to do a thing, but to stand there.

Meanwhile Neji, still having time to jump IN FRONT OF THEM.

Neji is stronger, more skilled and faster than Hinata, always has been and forever will be.

Is the argument that she is stronger than Nejis corpse? Because he was A JUNIN, and Hinata has never achieved it, so Neji at 15 is stronger than Hinata at 32. THERE IS NO PROOF THAT ANYTHING CHANGED 🤷‍♀️

4. What Hinata fans think:

Naruto and Hinata understand each other!

Naruto just needed

A full-on confession,

A filler move,

And to see Hinatas memories

TO KNOW SHE EVEN LIKES HIM.

What is the truth:

Naruto and Sakura, reading each other's minds.

5. What Hinata fans think:

Hinata stopped OBITO. Ino was there just to help out.

What is the truth:

Ino and HER technique, that was just AIDED with byakugan. Not with Hinatas byakugan (as if it was special). It was aided with a byakugan. It could have been any Hyuga 🤷‍♀️

"But... but... Ino needed Hinata to see!"

Ym, no. Ino can se BEHIND HER OWN DAMN HEAD.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's terrifying! It's like manga said one thing, and Hinata fans went: 🙈🙉.

Unfortunately they forgot to 🙊 as well. 🤷‍♀️

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That post is shorter than normally because I needed a lot of panels, but I have a bonus :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bonus!

Because it's hilarious to me:

Sakura fans: Sakura got from nothing to the strongest, she had no kekkei genkai, no special eyes, she had to trained her ass off to become strong.

Hinata Fans: HINATA IS THE MOST HARDWORKING PERSON. She got nothing from her family, she had to work for everything! She got strong because of her training only! That's why she is the best! Hardworking queen.

Sakura fans: well, she got byakugan and was taught all her techniques so she got something, while Sakura got literally nothing.

Hinata fans: HAHA HER CHILD WOULD BE WEAK! Hinatas children would inherit byakugan as well! So they would be born great! That means that Sakuras child would have to work to be remotely strong, while Hinatas children would be born strong! ROYALTY.

Sakura fans: actually, Sarada inherited Sharinngan, so she has that and hard work from Sakura!

Hinata fans: haha! No, she has NOTHING FROM SAKURA BECAUSE SAKURA IS NOONE.

Sakura fans: well, that's a good thing because Sakura went from nothing to one of the strongest, which is why she is great!

Hinata fans: YMMM NO! SAKURA HAD TALENT! SHE HAD TALENT OF CHAKRA CONTROL, WHICH IS TALENT, SO HINATA IS BETTER BECAUSE SHE REALLY HAD NOTHING.

Sakura fans: ok, so maybe Sarada would inherit the chakra control and get byakugou to support her sharinngan!

Hinata fan: HAHAHA NO, BECAUSE ITS NOT A TALENT, SHE CANT INHERIT THAT. She would have to learn it, so Hinatas children would be born stronger!

PICK ONE YOU MORONS. I CAN'T 😭

Either we are proud of hard work, and we support the hardworking queen OR Hinata inherited EVERYTHING so her children would be born strong.

Either chakra control is a talent that Sakura was born with, so Sarada can inherit it OR it's not a talent, and Sakura really got from nothing to everything.

IT'S NOT BOTH IF THEY CONTRADICT EACH OTHER.

[evilkitten3]

Mutual, I'm lowkey obsessing over your tags about akatsuki Tsunade, can you elaborate more the basic timeline? Like how this would affect Tsunade's arc in classic and such

tbh i hadn't really thought about it lol

but.... let's say it happens during the search for tsunade arc? orochimaru and jiraiya are both gunning to get her on their side but you know what? the shark man said please. get your shit shizune we're going with these guys if you poison the little red-eyed shit on the way no judgement (kisame: maybe don't though?)

jiraiya is pissed, orochimaru is torn between being amused bc wow and being in agonizing pain bc his arms still don't work, naruto keeps trying to get her to come heal lee (and now sasuke) but she's having none of it so she just throws a file of miscellaneous notes at his head and tells him "find someone with good chakra control and pray" (sakura: omg i have good chakra control!!!!)

weirdly the member of team seven affected most by this is sasuke bc sakura has absolutely no fucking clue what she's doing at first and it takes her like an extra month to wake him up, so he needs to get back on his feet before he can decide if he wants to run off to orochimaru or not. lee is.... kinda sol, frankly. sakura works really really hard to help him out, and she's eventually able to get him to a place where he can do a few things, but by the time she's good enough to really be able to help him it's way too late. fortunately he's adapted somewhat, and being lee he's surpassed what anyone thought he'd be able to, but he's never going to be what he could've been. gaara feels terrible about this ofc but lee isn't the sort to really hold a grudge, even if pretty much everyone agrees he'd be perfectly justified in doing so. gai never forgives tsunade, though, not really.

concerning tsunade's role in the akatsuki.... the thing is, it's her own grandparents who started the whole jinchuuriki mess. and she's seen with her own two eyes what konoha did to places like amegakure; she was part of it. she doesn't like that the jinchuuriki die post extraction, so she starts looking into how to make that not happen, but if she does succeed, it isn't until after the gaara debacle, so chiyo still dies. her biggest motivation here is naruto - she doesn't agree with him, but he reminds her of nawaki, so she really doesn't want him to die if at all avoidable. she doesn't get too involved in the actual jinchuuriki capturing process tho; she's more useful patching people up after.

having said that, she doesn't fully agree with pain and konan's plan, she just can't really think of anything better. tobi tells sasuke about itachi while tsunade is patching him up, and since it's her family that led to this, she's pretty on-board with the whole "fuck this stupid baka village" thing (ofc she's been heading down that path since joining the akatsuki, so this isn't like canon!tsunade suddenly making this call; there's a couple years of character development first), so.... she's effectively on team sasuke at this point, and once he splits from the akatsuki she does as well.

iirc, post danzou, sasuke spent about eight and a half volumes just kinda adjusting mostly offscreen to his recent ert (eyeball replacement therapy), before skewering og white zetsu and fucking off to go accidentally reunite with zombitachi, but aside from decking itachi through a few trees on sight, idk how much about all that would change. immediately after, when sasuke brings back orochimaru, they have an awkward reunion, followed by yet another awkward reunion when orochimaru brings back the four dead hokage. she's both very happy to see her granddad again, but it's hard for her to tell him (and hiruzen, for that matter) that she deserted the village completely, even if she doesn't regret her decision.

now you may be wondering: weren't shizune and tonton also around? yes! but when sasuke went after danzou, they stayed behind, leading to shizune finding and managing to save konan after tobito killed her. there's a potential romance subplot there as well but i accidentally ruined it for myself by saying aloud "two girls one pig" and then regretting my whole life.

the other survival is jiraiya; he becomes hokage instead since it's either one of the sannin or one of the elders, and as much as he doesn't want the job, he really doesn't want them to have it. this in part means he can't go spying in ame himself, although he very nearly does after orochimaru's death gets reported, but instead he sends someone else. that person dies, but manages to get the information back to him (it has to be someone important to naruto, and it can't be kakashi, so maybe iruka? but idk how he'd be in espionage. maybe one of naruto's classmates did spy training offscreen? it's entirely possible with jiraiya as hokage instead of tsunade but idk). since jiraiya isn't a healer, he'd either need to be injured badly enough for danzou to be able to step in without him being able to object, or sasuke would just need to have his fight with danzou somewhere else (so the raikage's arm might survive also).

the final thing is that, unlike in canon, this version of tsunade never got naruto therapy'd, so while she does eventually get over the hemophilia somehow (maybe just existing in the relative vicinity of hidan did the trick), she never really dealt with the grief that caused her to leave konoha in the first place, so that's still very much there. however, i think maybe this could work to the story's advantage - instead of just naruto vs sasuke, it could be naruto and sakura vs sasuke and tsunade. tho in this instance sasuke really isn't alone, and isn't really trying to be by that point. it's more a battle of "do we try to fix the system from within, or do we really need to start from scratch for things to improve in any meaningful way", but ultimately the winner is the realization that four people from konoha not only shouldn't but honestly can't be the only ones making this call. if the world is going to move forward, it can't be dragged by a single person, or even two people. it's gotta be a group effort. idk if the story should go into the details of what they decide on, bc i'm definitely not politically savvy enough for something like that, or just have an open ending leaving whatever happens next up to interpretation.

(sorry this took so long lol i kept having to do things XD)

[erumai-maadu]

YOU KNOW WHAT I just read your post about the Kohona 12 hc and one thing I gotta mention: TEAM 10 AND TEAM 8 BEING BUDDIES YES PLZ THIS IS SO IMPORTANTE!!! Not just bc of their senses dating (which is also a factor) but-- Team 10 is an intel-gathering team, Team 8 is tracking and capturing, CAN YOU IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES????

These two teams would have been the BEASTS of the spy network. Ibiki is desperately trying to convince everyone to join the Anbu squad. The biggest hurdle is Hinata being a Hyuga (her eyes can get stolen) and Shikamaru (he's just lazy).

Ino makes sure everyone looks polished. They're gonna learn what you had for breakfast 12 years ago, hunt you down and drag you back (dead or alive), looking like models whilst doing it ✨

(i'm so normal about this, I totally don't think about them all the time)

YOUR BRAIN >>>>>>>>>

every day Ibiki goes to Asuma and Kurenai and is like “please make ur kids join ANBU in the future pls i’m begging u” and their kids r all like haha no thanks. hinata is like “maybe” for one second and her uncle is immediately like NOT THE BYAKUGAN. ibiki is so sad. he just wants some good spies. he’s trying his best.

anyway some random side thoughts i have about them.

In the part 1 anime filler Shikamaru does call on Shino and Neji for tracking a lot. I guess because Hinata’s a girl and they can’t let her do anything ever :/ truly bizarre. there’s literally a filler episode where Hinata goes “I can see paper bombs all over the village!” and everyone immediately turns to Neji and doesn’t do anything until Neji confirms it. i hate this show.

doyalist sexism aside, Shikamaru heavily relies on Shino and the Byakugan’s sensory abilities to formulate his plans and so I think he very quickly grows used to having team 8 with him when Tsunade lets him form a squad. It helps that they spend a lot of time together (thank you senseis dating) and I’m sure that aside from his own squad, they’re the ones he relies on most.

Choji and Kiba are probably the front line fighters, with Shino and Ino backing them up and Shikamaru at mid-range advising/strategizing. Hinata probably pulls double duty as their long-range sensor and a close range fighter/flanker when things get hairy.

everyone on both teams gets along well but it’s a struggle to get Kiba and Choji to get along at first. Kiba is a bit of an asshole (understatement) and Choji isn’t a huge fan of how aggressive Kiba is. Kiba, for some fucking reason, just canonically doesn’t like Choji when they’re younger. I’m sure there were a lot of fights and a lot of insults thrown around before Shikamaru and Ino got them to sit down and shut up.

Ino tries her best to keep the squad polished but it doesn’t work so well when they’re younger lmao. When they’re older tho…. most fabulous and on point squad out there. your other faves could never.

kiba the leather jacket wearing hottie, ino ‘every outfit i wear has been on point since age 12’ yamanaka, choji who is canonically referred to as the most handsome chubby guy in the leaf (insane statement but still), shikamaru who somehow serves while wearing the standard chunin uniform, shino’s mysteriousness inherently makes him hot, and hinata with her silky hyuuga hair and flawless skin

their formations are tight, their teamwork is seamless, their communication is solid, and they look good while doing it all. ibiki is in a corner crying. he wants them to come work for him so bad.

We will learn more about Minorí's children and their relationship with their cousins (I love your designs ❤️❤️).

Sure! Under the cut as it’s a little lengthy

Ryusei 🐲

As the eldest, he’s a very good example for his sisters in terms of being a hard worker and studying

He tends to hang out and train with the older guys in the Uchiha and anbu, as such he’s pretty mature

Calm and mindful of others too, but he will lose his calmness if someone is being deliberately obtuse 💀

But he is the only boy in his immediate family and several home salons and sets of rainbow nails later, he’s learned to tell them no

Most of the time he still ends up with some odd nail colors thanks to Erena

He’s always looked up to Itachi and trained hard to try and remain only a few steps behind him

So it was natural for him to aim for becoming an anbu memeber too after Itachi’s acceptance

When he was scouted, he was beyond ready or so he thought, no regrets tho

He’s not one to brag, but the boy is very talented despite having a bit of imposter syndrome going on

His mask is of a serow

Fairly popular with the ladies for his appearance, but too much attention made him blush uncontrollably when he was young

Despite pressure to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan, he truly doesn’t want to but he also knows that that isn’t fully up to him

He doesn’t like bugs. It’s embarrassing and he can manage in the moment, but he’s dying a little inside when one lands on him

Oddly ticklish around the beauty marks on his neck and can’t help but jump a bit when someone pokes there

He was given on of Sumi’s hair pins as the eldest born. He’s unsure of what he wants to do with it; but he knows some of his relatives use them for special occasions or wedding gifts for their spouses

He’s debated giving his to one of his sisters, but neither has shown interest in having it

Likes sweets in general

But cakes and mochi are high on his favorite sweets list

Utsuki 🌙

A very confident yet mild mannered girl off the training grounds. A total beast in action and bubbly when she’s enthusiastic about something

She’s a bit taller than most of the girls her age and she doesn’t think anything of adding to it with heels on occasion

Growing up, she heard about how great her grandfather and great grandfather were in battles she could even imagine

How her grandmother and great grandmother defied the odds and rose to the occasion. Earning the respect the deserved

Even her civilian lineage over came language barriers and traveled to a whole new country, surviving and thriving

She’s descendant from greatness and she’s not about to let them down. So she trains practically nonstop and even has put emphasis on taijutsu as she heard that’s something even the great Madara was vulnerable to

She keeps her hair short for practicality reasons, but she would like to grow her hair out eventually

Can not be trusted in a kitchen. She adds spice to everything and has caused the entire family to have a coughing fit because of some curry she made

She struggles a bit with the more academic stuff, but she’s learned to turn things she should remember into songs

She alternates between a sword and a nagatana as her weapons of choice

Often chills with Tenten because they share common interests, but also because she trains with team Gai from time to time

Her ninneko is the great great granddaughter of a certain ninneko thst terrorized her grandmother and great uncles

She was so excited for a female hokage that she asked for a picture with lady tsunade shortly after she became hokage

She dresses in her grandmother’s ao dai outfits for her casual wear because she likes how the fit/the coverage

She drops in at the police station to bring her dad and uncle their lunches when her mom and aunt are off on vacation together

Mostly because she knows those two would work a full schedule without eating, but also because there’s some cute criminals sometimes omg don’t tell her dad she said that 😂

Doubles as a bodyguard and light hearted bully to Sasuke

No she will not tell you where her cousin is or will she keep it a secret that you were hiding in a bush to watch him. Talk to him yourself and don’t be weird about it, okay 😃

“But Sasuke, it’s that your bf/gf? You should be nicer to them” or “look at you, acting all tough and stuff”

Itachi substitutes as her personal vent journal because he listens without judgement. She’ll make him dango after particularly long winded vent sessions as an apology

He’s not hesitant to give her a push in the right direction much like his father does for her, and she’s grateful for that

Erena ✌️

The baby~ A mama’s girl~

She’s such an opinionated young lady

She loves all things feminine. It’s to the point she absolutely hates the Uchiha blue garbs because they’re “lackluster”, but clans rep, y’know 🥲

So she’s taken to wearing red hair bows to try and have some individualism in the sea of blue

Utsuki tries to help her with her bows, but she prefers either Itachi or Sasuke to do them for two reasons

Firstly, they do them better than Utsuki, their mother, and aunt

Secondly, the girls her age get very envious that she has kind attractive older cousins and fuss over her hair bows like she’s a celebrity

She started signing her name as Erena Ise at the academy after Udon “proposed”

She dropped an earring and he picked it up for her while just so happening to be on one knee. Bam, proposal. According to her

Her parents think it’s funny, she doesn’t. She’s so serious, that’s her man! They even solve math equations together and no one gets him like she does 🤧

Iruka sensei doesn’t get it either and tells her that she’s too young. But what does an old guy that’s never been married himself know about relationships?

Outside of her ongoing puppy love, she’s actually a brilliant student and they’re pretty sure she has a photographic memory even before unlocking her sharingan

She’s had the option of graduating for the academy for some time, but she’s stated she doesn’t feel she’s ready ~~she wants to stay with team Konohamaru~~

When it comes to her cousins, Sasuke is her favorite because he catches her runaway cat all the time, helps fix her bows when she asks, covers her ears when they standing too close to the fireworks

and even when he tells her to run along/he doesn’t have time for her, he’s just cool, okay?

She wishes she was more like him sometimes (she knows she shouldn’t say everything she’s thinking all the time, but it just happens)

A big bonus of clinging to her big cousin is that his pink haired team mate sometimes has cute stuff to give her, Naruto is weird, and Kakashi sensei is funny (she also thinks he’s related to them. He’s not, she just thinks he is)

When it comes to Itachi, she thinks he’s awesome, but he set the bar so high for everyone and that’s not fair 🥲

He did introduce her to Shisui who is a lot of fun with his tricks and will actually pick her up when she asks unlike her siblings and cousins 😒 so Itachi gets a pass

[narutocharacterpolls]

ROUND ONE

UCHIHA MADARA vs YAMANAKA INO

Reasons for submission under the cut

Madara

holy FUCKKKK dude his original introduction with him fighting the entire shinobi alliance is one of the most terrifying and awe inspiring introductions to a character I've EVER seen in media. The fact he was one guy, (albeit resurrected) taking on an ARMY and doing it in such a way with so little effort he just called it 'dancing' gave me fucking chills and it's [submitters] favorite fight in the entire series

MAN TAKES ON ALL THE KAGES AND HE'S STILL THINKING ITS NOT QUITE FUN YET, ICONIC

he's just super funny, i fucking adore how deadpan sarcastic he can get, like Tsunade rolling up saying she was just visiting an old friend when Dan helped save her, and Madara deadpan no hesitation going "You'll see him again quite soon". ICONIC. KING. SO FUCKING FUNNY

him showing up almost fucking feral to fight Hashirama, and just being told "ILL DEAL WITH YOU LATER" and he actually sits down and waits with his arms crossed is so fucking funny

I love how hype he got about fighting Gai like that was the ONLY person aside from Hashirama that got him hype. Madara vs Gai was such a good fight

Madara is a GILF, [submitter] is not ashamed to admit grandpa is hot in both his actual grandpa form and his revived form

he's such an iconic villain

he's awesome and super smart

his commitment is unparalleled. Made a plan that takes a decade to work by himself. The guy single handedly brought changes in the shinobi world, and came back from death twice !!!

he dog walked the tailed beast like unruly animals, and humiliated the strongest shinobi of the time (5 kage + Naruto + Sasuke) , all while maintaining beautiful hair, pretty face and amazing physique

has the whole homoerotic thing with Hashirama and being insane (affectionate) in general going for him

he was right, Konoha was rotten and a mistake

very cool fight scenes

very dramatic and rude to those around him

very cool backstory

he's a mysterious character, even tho he's the main antagonist, as we've never seen the story by his perspective

he has such a tragic kinda overlooked backstory

he's badass

Ino

she’s so great and resourceful

she's loving to everyone, her team, her family, even Sakura

beautiful

super cool/under rated powers

she's lesbian coded

[rantahead]

I’ve seen a lot of people saying NaruSaku would’ve been a better endgame ship and would’ve lived up to Kushina’s words about finding someone like her and that their kids would’ve been stronger, and these are the same people who ship BoruSara, but, like, you wouldn’t have Boruto and Sarada if it wasn’t for NaruHina and SasuSaku.

NaruSaku wouldn't be a good couple and their kids wouldn't even rival NaruHina's kids' strength. here's why:

Sakura's kids are always weak (yes, I'm starting with this first so I can get it out of the way):

the only thing Sakura can really pass on is her strength, as we see Sarada using it quite often. But her chakra control and Medical Ninjutsu can't, which makes Sarada look pathetic in eyes of some fans for not being able to achieve Medical Ninjutsu even tho her mom's one of the greatest (at this point, Wasabi or Mitsuki might unlock the Byakugo Seal because they're the best at it) Sakura has no Kekkei Genkai and we've never seen her use Ninjutsu (I know she has the chakra natures for it, but never actually uses it). so she can't really pass on something that she doesn't have or never uses.

2. Kushina's words:

Kushina's words were never about finding someone like her (personality wise), but like her (deep down).

people say Hinata wasn't fit to be with Naruto 'cause she wasn't like Kushina, but those people were thinking personality wise.

in reality, Sakura was the first person to come his way, because he only liked her because she was cute. she was literally introduced that way.

Kushina never wanted Naruto to marry someone who has the same personality as her, but someone who is like her. literally, all Sakura and Kushina have in common is their hair colors are different from normal shinobis, they were picked on for their insecurities, and they're hot-headed. Hinata, however, has many similarities.

they both care about Naruto

they've protected him with their lives

Hinata was the first person to believe in him after his parents

Hinata was willing to give her own life for Naruto's safety, TWICE, as Kushina did.

Hinata helped him when he needed it the most as did Kushina when he met her for the first time

now we move onto way the ship wouldn’t work itself:

Naruto questioned when Sakura called herself beautiful:

here, Naruto questions Sakura when she calls herself "lovely ninja maiden". if he was so smitten with her, you think he'd question her nickname and not her teaching? yeah, I think so. even if he loved her SO MUCH, he wouldn't questioned, he'd agree.

2. Naruto has never complimented Sakura as a lover should:

in Naruto, not once has Naruto complimented Sakura's appearance. Inari, who barely got to know her and only got to know her for one arc, complimented her as soon as he saw her, yet why not Naruto...? only once he has, but that's when he introduced Sakura. even after their reunion, he said she looked exactly the same.

heck, he even claimed that Haku, a BOY, looked cuter than Sakura.

3. Sakura hits Naruto too much:

Sakura hits Naruto too much. if they had of gotten married, it would be an abusive one (Sakura abusing Naruto). I understand she cares about him and he cares about her, I really do, but there's still A LOT more panels of her hitting him more than her caring about him. but there's a limit of pics a post, and I have much more to add and I don't want Sakura hitting Naruto to take up all the pic space. and not to mention, there's still the anime fillers. I understand that it's supposed to be comic relief, yet there's no need to go that hard. she leaves bruises or bumps on the places she hits, whereas everyone else don't even leave a mark. I understand that it could be because of her being a Medical Ninja and her strength is more than a normal humans, yet she does it too hard, KNOWING it's gonna leave a bump. even Tsunade (who has only hit him at least once) has not left a mark on Naruto and her strength is GREATER than Sakura's. that just shows that she hits him too hard.

and even if they got married, it'll still be an abusive relationship because Sakura hasn't stopped hitting Naruto, even through timeskip. her kids, too, would suffer the abuse of their mother and fear for their lives.

4. they don’t understand each other on a deeper level:

now, Naruto married Hinata because they understand each other on a deeper level than anyone else (other than Shikamaru). she understands his pain and loneliness.

he never understood Sakura's pain and she never made an effort to understand his.

you may argue that because she was his teammate, she'd understand him the most because they went through Hell together. but the only people who understand Naruto on a deep deep level is Hinata and Shikamaru. not even Sasuke and Gaara (the ones confirmed to be his closest friends other than Shikamaru).

5. Naruto doesn’t except Sakura’s crush on Sasuke in part 1:

in original Naruto, Naruto tried everything to make sure Sakura falls out of love with Sasuke and in love with him. he never got to understand why she loves him or never really understood why he himself loved her. he even tried making her think Sasuke was a jerk by transforming into him.

I feel like if he had of ended up with Sakura and never realized his feelings for Hinata, it would be a loveless marriage and Naruto would've turned out as a spoiled brat, because he "won" his childhood lover.

6. The confession:

finally, the infamous confession that ruined Sakura for most of the fandom. honestly, I didn't think the Sakura hate could get any worst, yet this is just... it ruined Sakura for me.

like, Sakura seems okay with playing with Naruto's feelings. she KNOWS he likes her, Sai even confirmed it with BOTH him and her, yet she's reallly okay with hurting him and playing him for the fool?

not to mention, she KNEW about Hinata's feelings ever since the Pain arc, probably even before that because she's told Naruto that Hinata had been watching him all the way back in part 1, so she probably knew from there. was she really okay with playing with her boy best friend's feelings and betraying one of her best friends? she didn't even bother to check with Hinata about it. if Naruto had of said yes, do you think she would've had the nerve to walk in front of Hinata on Naruto's arm? no.

I don't think Hinata even knows of it. goes to show how little it meant to both Naruto and Sakura since they never bothered to mention it to Naruto's own WIFE.

but yeah, Naruto's head over heels in love with Sakura that he is totally in a loveless marriage with someone he finds weird because the girl he really loved is in a different marriage.

[fat-hedonistic-hogs]

Of course, Tsunade CAN help Kahuya with the baby making with a special jutsu...

Not sure if there's anything to sate possibly thousands of years of horny tho.

She's interested...

Hopefully the village won't mind if she borrows the former hokage for a while.

[oh-no-its-bird]

Body swap through time Kakashi and Tobirama at like, ages 12/13ish

Kakashi wakes up as Senju Tobirama at the height of the Uchiha/Senju conflicts

Tobirama wakes up as Kakashi in the lead up to the Kyuubi incident

They're actually alarmingly similar in skill level and personality, so they're able to get away with the switch on a surface level, even to those who know them well. But problems very quickly arise when it comes to fighting or anything that requires knowledge of history

""Tobirama"" taking to the field with a totally different skill set and jutsus than he's ever used before (Izuna is taken so off guard, it gets bad, fast)

""Kakashi"" suddenly does not seem to respond to any ANBU signals or codes, and where as before he was a shoe in for becoming an ANBU captain he suddenly seems to be fucking up at every other opportunity. You'd think the guy WANTS to lose his job with how suddenly awful at it he is, but he's Kakashi. There is no world where that kid fucks anything up on purpose

They're both definatley in a "holy shit I can NOT tell anyone ab this" position— Kakashi would probably be fr killed as an imposter, and while Tobirama would probably be ok (especially since Minato would be in charge of his detainment n stuff) he doesn't know that?? As far as he's aware, he is in enemy territory and will act accordingly.

Kakashi doesn't know how tf to interact with Tajima or Hashirama, but especially Tajima. He probably uses the wrong forms of address for people bc Tobirama uses more old fashioned honorifics than Kakashi is used to (Anija/Chichuie vs Nii-san/Otou-san)

Kakashi refusing to kill Uchiha bc like, village loyalty fuck you. Also just in general he probably has feelings ab killing anyone with a sharingan on multiple levels. But not just not killing them but going out of his way to help— these aren't his Uchiha, yeah, but it definatley fucks him up to see ANY uchiha die when all his life Uchiha = konoha = his people

Oooo, Kakashi instinctivley channeling chakra through Tobirama's eye after a solid couple years of getting used to the sharingan, possibly accidentally doing,,, something there. Idk what tho but SOMETHING

Meanwhile Tobirama is in that stupid fucking village of his brothers (that he will not shut up about, especially at that specific age) and its???? Real??????? It worked?????????? Huh.

He's surrounded by Uchiha and can't find any Senju (Tsunade just left the village rip Tsunade) but if he investigates it looks like the Senju died out naturally? Impossible, it has to be some kind of Uchiha plot—!

Hes also struggling to come to terms with there being a STOLEN SHARINGAN IN HIS FUCKING EYE !!!!!!!! Made extra super fucked up by the difference in intense hatred and taboo of bloodline theft in modern/warring era (with it being even more taboo in the warring states, like THE ultimate evil to any shinobi)

Maybe he, as Kakashi, is supposed to go to like special Uchiha class where they teach him ab the Uchiha n stuff bc of the eye, and Tobirama is sitting there eating all this shit UP (enemy intel!!!) But also, like, lowkey brainwashed kid brought up to do nothing but kill this one specific group of people, literally being forced to at least pretend to embrace their culture. He's in such a unique position to learn from and about them, and it'll probably end with him being some kind of sympathetic.

It helps that in modern Konoha, where the Uchiha may be considered overly traditional/religious, that's actually just Tobirama's normal. So there's also this added layer of "being around the Uchiha feels the closest to home / least strange than being around literally anyone else" which just pisses him off even more tbh

I'm tempted to say that somehow Rin is still alive just so I can have that one specific Rin and Kakashi queerplatonic codependent relationship from my other post, and then Rin being the one to finally notice that Kakashi isn't Kakashi anymore

Both Tobirama and Kakashi kind of piecing together the life stories of each other, immersed in eachothers histories and paths without ever directly interacting even once. Constant wonderings ab what the other boy was like / might do here, and if they're really so similar that no one has noticed the switch and all those implications (bc on one hand, that's good!! But on the other hand uhh— has anyone at home noticed...? Bc if not, fucking ow??? But also like, probably for the best tbh.)

[team7-headquarter]

You know, it's funny when people write the girls in Naruto being all jealous of each other and willing to fight for "their man", when in canon you have their dynamics being actually kinda cute and the implications going beyond what they feel for a guy, into "what issues led them to that point".

Take Karin and Sakura, for example. In the canon they were made to feel like trash or like they were not enough, helpless, useless, they were abused from the way they looked and made fun of and beaten up for that. Karin was objectified given her healing abilities and Sakura was objectified as an object of affection, someone to protect and love but not someone with agency, not really. Tsunade and Orochimaru took them in and even when it was not saving (because being their apprentices made it worst in some aspects), at least they were capable of fighting for themselves now.

Yeah, they both loved (or had a crush on) Sasuke and the story made of their feelings a recurring comedy gag, like how "obsessed" they were. The point is that, beyond the comedy relief moments, Sakura and Karin genuinely cared for Sasuke and wanted to help him. They wanted to see him safe and happy, to help him accomplish his dreams or goals. They were not perfect, their intentions can be selfish and flawed, but it's the same for almost every character in Naruto. They are no exception.

So when Sakura and Karin leave their safety to go after Sasuke, to go "help him", it's not just 'cause they want to romantically claim Sasuke. It's also about being useful, about feeling others trust them, about reclaiming the control they lost over their own lives, making their own decisions.

No one forced them to go there or be there, no one forced them to care about Sasuke. To say otherwise is to insult them, okay?

There's no reason why they'd help each other. No reason at all. They're strangers, they are enemies, they are kunoichis. Yet, I love the words of those panels because Sasuke calls Karin useless and he says Sakura can replace her. Sakura's fears are spoken out loud about another girl, in that panel, Karin and Sakura are one, reflected in the other. Sakura knows she won't kill the girl, she must be innocent, her target is Sasuke. She can't tho, for the same reason why Karin tells Sasuke to not kill Sakura. For all their crimes as shinobis and for all the violence they have grown used to, they're still soft, they want to do good, they still believe in the friendships they've chosen or still believe in their own choices.

Sakura saves Karin's life right then and Karin feels Sakura's sadness over her, her tears, it's clear that it affects her for the composition of the panels, for her words. Karin has been used and abused once more by someone she trusted, loved even, and now she's seeing a girl just like her but not breaking, but healing her still.

We don't really see Karin and Sakura interacting after that. That's all there is of them together, but it's the same as the Chuning Exam Preliminaries fight of Ino and Sakura. Their relationships with Sasuke were a part of who they were, but they were so much more than that and their dynamics were based on their experiences, not only a boy.

Karin didn't want Sasuke to hurt Sakura. Sakura didn't want Karin to die. Yes, they were on the same bridge, heartbroken over the same boy, but it spoke also of what is like to be a medic nin and a kunoichi at war, what is like to grow from a life of neglect or abuse or bullying or being sidelined to a life where your choices might have terrible horrible consequences, but they are yours.

Later, Karin and Sakura would decide to trust Sasuke again. Save his life. Fight for him. It's their choice to do so, but also, it's their choice to save Tsunade or Naruto and follow Orochimaru or go with Team 7 to fight Kaguya. Their paths cross because of Sasuke, because he knows them both and had worked with them both, but it's not like they'd fistfight over him in other circumstances.

Sakura worried over Hinata loving Naruto and she worried over Hinata putting herself in danger to confess to him, but she could relate. She knew that type of pain herself. Even when Ino was still interested in Sasuke, she was great friends with Sakura because their rivalry was bigger than him, so was their friendship.

In the serious moments, when it really mattered, those girls had each other's backs. To reduce them to fangirls or jealous bitches is insane, when it's most probable they'd work together to save the world or their interests than to destroy each other to see who could marry the boy.

The kinship they feel given the misogyny of the shinobi world and the severity of the lives they lead is stronger than any romance plot!!!!

[skykashi]

Hey Kakashi people!!! If u know any ethoslab fans, tell them about the poll, they would help us!!!

Or repost with the #ethoslab

I wouldn't want Kakashi to win this way, actually I wouldn't mind Tsunade winning at all if the votes for her were legit and by her actual fans, but asking ppl who don't even watch Naruto to vote against Kakashi in the name of feminism when they don't even care about Tsunade and are using such card just because they hate Kakashi is what's making me want to support him even more, aside from the fact that it's cheating but like I explained here before, being unfair in general is something that I can't stand and being unfair to someone just because of their gender makes it even 100x worst. Tbh, the fact that they are struggling to make Kakashi lose even tho they are rigging the poll makes Kakashi a winner anyway.

Also, please, don't harass real ppl, don't send them anon hate or whatever, no matter what they are doing, Kakashi wouldn't want us to do that, we are better than that, we can keep supporting our favorite and show him all the love he deserves but fighting toxicity by being toxic is not right, I was always proud of the Kakashi fandom when I read any poll's notes and see other characters fans being toxic, insulting and slandering Kakashi while Kakashi fans are all focusing on appreciating and supporting him with love without negativity or slander towards other character so let's keep being this way

[flintsilvers]

some thoughts before the next boruto chapter comes out so i remember what to keep an eye on

sasuke's status: hes not with boruto, though boruto has his sword and cloak. so is he alive and just stayed behind or is he dead or a secret third thing? it is said that code and boruto fought two years prior to boruto's return to konoha (so a year after he fled) but boruto was helpless during the fight, so it would make sense that sasuke would have been the one to actually fight code. did code kill sasuke? (would make sense since even with his 6 tomae rinnegan he got stomped on by ishiki and code is stronger than ishiki). on that note, sasuke might have been the one to blind code in one eye

sarada's ms: we haven't seen what her ms can do yet (my money is on some form of powerful genjutsu on the same level as tsukuyomi or kotoamatsukami that could probably counter omnipotence but an attack type ms would be cool too) but the biggest issue for sarada is that one way or another she is going to go blind in at least one eye, since sasuke (if he is even still alive) would only be able to give her one eye

claw grime with the rinnegan: why was a claw grime sporting a rinnegan?? the only rinnegan left in existence was sasuke's, before momoshiki stabbed him in the eye?? so how the hell did that happen. also it could talk? im betting kawaki didn't actually kill it and that it will be making another appearance so i'm sure that will be explained. i've seen some people theorize that it might actually be sasuke or maybe a regular claw grime fused with sasuke's dna but would that be enough to produce a rinnegan? its a stretch imho. tho it might just be sasuke, which would explain why he isn't with boruto, but then why would boruto be trying to give code a way out?

himawari: right before the time skip daemon saw something special in her and, considering she's training bc she wants to help boruto despite her own memories being altered, im sure she'll play a big role (not like huge, cause its kishimoto we're talking about but..you know) plus she has the byakugan and she's hopefully been training in gentle fist (which would be one of the few things that could actually take down kawaki since its taijutsu). ALSO! she might awaken the tenseigan (bc what was the point of the last if that dojutsu was never gonna be talked about again??) cause lets be real the only way to be relevant here is if you have a dojutsu or something like sage mode or karma (the latter often granting you a dojutsu anyway)

shikamaru: was he the best choice for hokage? probably not, i still think sakura or kakashi should have worn the hat or, hell, maybe even tsunade, but this is a new world and there's new technologies. he might be able to compensate for his physical weakness with scientific ninja tools

kakashi, yamato and sakura: where are they? sakura has made very few appearances in part 1 and has never been heard of again. kakashi has not made a single manga appearance since the land of hot springs. yamato is, im assuming, still watching orochimaru but why wasn't the mokuton user called back to konoha when the otsutsuki reappeared?? especially with the threat of the ten tails? i know moegi also has mokuton (even tho it was never explained how she acquired it, as i doubt she has creation of all things lmao) but isnt two better than one?

mitsuki: obviously all of mitsuki's feelings for boruto have transferred onto kawaki bc of omnipotence, but you can tell something is off. even after three years since eida used omnipotence (meaning the new memories should have cemented in everyone's brains) mitsuki is starting to doubt that kawaki is his sun. i predict hes going to try and kill boruto only to realize he is his sun and somehow snap out of eida's ability. or at least hes going to follow boruto regardless of what his memories tell him, sorta like sasuke

#let me add that Hinata and Neji becoming medic nins together would have started to heal their relationship and the Hyuuga clan#they're equals in something they choose they're doing something TOGETHER they're swearing to not repeat their dads' mistakes#also Hyuugas already have the chakra control for that#also?? acknowledging Sakura is a freaking prodigy when it comes to medical ninjutsu???#I think the line up of Hinata Neji Shikamaru Sakura would be so interesting#Especially to develop Hinata's potential and self-confidence#Imaging Neji healing Hinata after she went to fight Pain#or Neji not dying and Hinata healing him on the War arc#Shikamaru writing the injury report on Asuma

hinata becoming a mednin alongside neji would certainly be an improvement but tbh i still don't love it. hinata is a gentle person but the manga doesn't really have her show much interest in healing, and i would argue that what evidence we do have of her interests outside of naruto is still pretty combat-orientated (also, quick side note, i don't think giving hinata even more people to feel inferior to is going to help her confidence that much tbh - neji is self-explanatory, but both sakura and shikamaru are all noted to be incredibly smart academically - tho shikamaru doesn't apply himself in school - and hinata is just kinda average afaik).

however, i think it would be interesting for her and neji to attempt to take up mednin training together only for hinata to learn that she's actually pretty good at it but doesn't like it all that much. meanwhile neji has the opposite problem - he fucking loves it, but he struggles with it in a way he's really not used to at all. so instead, they use their respective strengths to help the other overcome their respective weaknesses.

concerning the post-pain healing, neji iirc wasn't actually in konoha when hinata needed healing. also, as a yuri fan, that is one of the only canon sakuhina moments and i will defend it to the death if i have to, sorry.

lastly, about sakura - i have conflicting feelings on applying the term prodigy to her. on the one hand, she's certainly an incredible medic, and it's annoying that just about everyone who gets called a genius in naruto is a guy (with the exception of medical ninjutsu, which tsunade is a genius at - tho idk if she's ever called that explicitly, come to think of it), but on the other hand... sakura worked really hard to be able to do that stuff. it wasn't natural talent (the og manga has kakashi explicitly note that sakura does actually have natural talent - in genjutsu. which is basically the only thing she never uses at all, which could very well imply that sakura wants to be able to show what she accomplished through hard work rather than what she just happened to be good at. it could also imply that kishimoto didn't care and immediately forgot as soon as he wrote that, which is probably more likely).

ok so like i know the reason is just. sexism but one thing that really irks me about how the post-timeskip naruto manga handled which characters became medic nin bc it makes absolutely no sense to me

sakura's decision to train under tsunade makes sense, and i love that she got a super strength power up, so no notes there, but the other teams.... yeesh

so first off, team ten. we're told that ino decided to follow sakura into mednin land to keep being rivals with her... despite that at no point factoring into their rivalry at all beforehand. ino never showed any interest in that, nor was the yamanaka clan ever mentioned to have anything to do with healing as far as i can remember. it's like going to art school to stay with your bestie when your goal is to become a dentist. why are you there. find other ways to spend time together. it also kinda goes against her family's whole thing as. the guys who do the torture stuff. and it's barely ever relevant anyway

for team ten, i think the team medic should've been shikamaru, and i think this not just bc i think it makes more sense skill-wise (something about the way the nara clan's various shadow jutsu work just screams "you need good chakra control for this" to me), but also bc i think it would make asuma's death a thousand times more painful. bc shikamaru is a slacker. he's not learning medical ninjutsu bc he wants to, he's learning it bc someone on the team has to in order to stick together. they're all chuunin now; one of them has to be a medic. them's the rules. but he doesn't really care that much, even when he is trying to learn, and he's so used to being smart enough to not have to pay attention in lessons anyway that he's not prepared for classes that require his full focus. and then asuma dies and shikamaru is doomed to spend the rest of his fucking life wondering if he could've saved him by paying just a little more attention to those medical ninjutsu lessons (he could not have (but he'll never know for sure))

team eight makes some sense, since giving the girl who struggles with fighting the healing job isn't exactly out of nowhere, but i do feel it was the lazy choice. kiba already had a sister involved in the medical business, even if she deals more with animals, so he could've started learning from her and found that he liked it. plus kiba's goal is to be hokage, and the current hokage is a mednin, so it's not like it wouldn't support his goal. or shino could do it; would add another layer to his character. hinata works fine but. it's just not a very interesting development imo

but what really gets me is team gai. good freaking grief. out of every single team, team gai was the one with the most obvious choice. bc there was only one choice. lee can't do any kind of ninjutsu, and tenten's only real backstory is that her chakra control isn't good enough for her to be a medic nin. so it had to be neji. canon establishes that every team has to have a medic; this is a policy tsunade got passed even before she became hokage, so no way in hell is she going back on it now.

moreover, neji becoming a medical ninja - especially if hiashi encouraged it - would show some development for the hyuuga clan maybe starting to suck a bit less. bc as a medic, neji would be bound by oath to stay alive for as long as possible. imagine a world in which hizashi came back and hiashi was able to tell his brother that not only was their family starting to change, but his son had chosen a path that would prevent him from ever following in his father's footsteps. it would be the first step (of many) to show that the hyuuga clan was freeing itself from its own bullshit.

also it would've made sakura catching the zetsu pretending to be neji a thousand times funnier. like that's her coworker. they've shared shifts at the hospital together. she's seen neji drink vodka straight from a bottle and then crash on her couch after they got out of a twelve-hour surgery on the fucking dumbass chuunin who managed to step on his own boobytrap. she knows him.
