I have very complicated feelings about Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Growing up I really liked the old man. He was presented in the first half of Natuto as a very kind, caring and compassionate old man who had a hand in teaching EVERYONE in the Hidden Leaf. He was a super strong bad ass who was well respected, funny, stern and had a quiet dark side from being a ninja. However one of his flaws was that he could never give up on the people he loved, no matter ehat they became. Its why he let Orochimaru go the first time after he found him doing illigal experiments in his layer, its why he cried when he saw Orochimaru sacrifice his own students for the edo tensei.

Watching his funeral used to be a top ten saddest moment in Naruto, but then... everything changed when Itachi's backstory is revealed. We learn he's not as kind as he appears, that he was partially responsible for the death of the Uchiha clan. We learn about Danzo's multiple coup attempts and Hiruzen just...letting it slide. In fact, letting MULTIPLE Danzo incidents slide, letting Danzo's entire career slide, which was basically war crimes on steroids.

Because of his passiveness, he ends up enabling Danzo to do whatever he wanted. He becomes guilty by association, even though Kishimoto made sure to point out that Danzo is responsible for all these atrocities... but because of their close connection and his abilities to stop him but never doing so, Hiruzen's reputation and character was destroyed. Especially in the eyes of the reader.

And part of me knows he deserves it. That he, by proxy is responsible for the Uchiha genocide and letting things get as bad as they did...

But then, I see an episode where he hangs out with little Naruto and tells him stories over a camp fire and my heart melts. I see clips of him talking to kids at the ninja school about stories of the past and how they can apply themselves and I'm smiling. I see him die looking at Orochimaru who's cursing his name and demanding his arms back, and remembering when the monster was just a young boy, still kind. And hik smiling as he passes away

I wonder if Kishimoto always planned for this reveal about Itachi? I feel like to make Itachi the tragic anti-hero, Hiruzen and his reputation had to be destroyed. But the narrative never treats Hiruzen as evil or berates him for what he does. He's never truly called out even when he's brought back via Edo Tensei. He still has genuinely kind moments to almost everyone in the series. Everyone still has mostly good memories about him.

At the end of the day, I just don't know how to feel about him. I wish the Itachi reveal never happened. That he was written to be a villian like he appeared to be at the start of the show. Then Hiruzen's character would not have been dragged through the mud and I could view him as a flawed but genuinely good character who lost his way. Which I think was the writer's original intention.

I'm not defending him it's just...complicated.

Or maybe. He just found kakashis secret stack of lmao icha cha and is reading it 💀 5:25

I like Naruto, that should be pretty obvious by now, but I do think it could have been BETTER. For example: the hand signs.

They were good in the beginning about having them be used, but over time they just kinda....stopped. And by the time you get to the end of the series, nobody really uses them anymore.

I think that's stupid, I LIKED the idea of having to use these hand signs to focus your chakra into attacks. Now, there are some exceptions, like the regular Rasengan because that's JUST a ball of chakra, not really a focused thing.

But aside from that, I feel that a lot of the big jutsus should have still had those hand signs. Maybe have them be longer, more complicated, as a tradeoff for leading to a stronger jutsu. And cmon, you're telling me it WOULDNT be cool to see this giant orange energy fox start doing hand signs before throwing the ninja equivalent of a nuclear bomb at you?

Not gonna lie, I do love a submissive Sasuke but in all reality they are definitely a switch-a-roo couple and if anyone dominates the most, my best bet would be Sasuke.

Sasuke would be the type that when horny he’s so sexually frustrated that when Naruto walked in the door, he would have to have him right then and there. Pinning Naruto to the door by his throat, kissing him passionately, begging for his touch.

Sasuke would also be the type to be submissive, loving the kisses purely for him when he’s being railed by Naruto. Giving in to every touch. Letting Naruto do whatever he wanted to him.

I think their both incredibly aggressive but also incredibly sweet to each. Making sure there’s consent, making sure the other is enjoying it just as much as they are. Leaving kisses down the back, grabbing their throat, pulling the hair, whispering naughty things in each others ears.

Naruto is the type to have sex out in the open, loving the risk of almost being caught. He would do something sweet like planning a picnic but then he would play fight with Sasuke, teasing him and edging him on to the point where Sasuke is no longer scared to be fucked for everyone to see. Letting everyone know that he belongs to Naruto and Naruto only.

When Naruto is submissive, he gives into Sasuke so easily. Loving every aggressive touch, every bruise left on his inner thighs, every bite mark left on his neck, and every scratch mark deepened into his arms and back. He loves watching Sasuke fuck him. He loves seeing the sweat drip down his body and the way Sasuke’s hair sticks to his forehead.
