Another redhead Uzumaki Naruto ~

In this piece I thought of Naruto as a ninja of Uzushiogakure, that's why he's wearing the Uzumaki clan symbol on his Hitai-ate. I really enjoy exploring this idea and drawing more stuff for it. I just can't decide if I like him better with his hair long or short. xD

Thanks for taking a look! :)

Some Uzushiogakure/Danny Phantom shit for y'all

What if Kushina felt when the barriers fell at Uzushio?

What if it sent her sprinting as fast as she could towards her first home?

What if she made it, but after the city had fallen?

What if in her grief and rage as she sat amongst the blood of her people, her family, she activated a long forgotten seal buried beneath the city?

The blood seeping through crevices to channels, flowing down the intricate seal and finally dripping down into a tomb.

Drip.

Drop.

Her chakra, her rage, the power of the Nine Tails as he relishes in her anger shines like a beacon from the center of the village.

It too seeps through the cracks.

All the way to the tomb.

Bright green bursts through the cracks beneath the lid.

______________________________________________

Kushina's rage whipped a storm about her.

The rain hid her tears as it pelted her small form, knees scrapped from when she landed hard on them.

She screamed, bending forward until her bare forehead-

The threw it so hard it lodged itself in the column of the Gates of Konoha when they tried to make her stay.

was pressed to the ruined mosaic of the village center, pounding her fists against the ground.

A sudden chill, the heaviness in the air of someone holding carefully leashed power, and a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Child, what happened here?"

She jumps into a ready stance, a kunai in each hand.

"Who are you?"

Green. That's the first thing she notices, brighter than the leaves of any tree in Konoha.

White, then black. His hair floats as if in water and his armor appears ancient, older than the Warring Clans era. He wears no headband, but a circlet that appears made of ice. He is also floating about a foot above the ground and the rain seems to pass over him as though his mere aura kept the downpour away.

"I have many names, but of all I prefer Danny."

Kushina blinked. "What are you?"

The being, Danny, seemed to ponder for a moment. "I suppose the closest thing you would have here is a god."

That would explain the power and the fact my hair is all on end.

She licked her lips for a moment. "What are you the god of?"

"Protection, longevity," he pauses for a moment, uncertain, "Death."

"A shinigami?!" she hissed "I should have expected one to be here."

"Again I'll ask, what happened here?"

Kushina's face went entirely blank as she set her arms by her sides, hands still clenching the kunai in a white-knuckled grip. She looked out over the ruins of her birthplace, her home.

"Uzushio fell. I don't know yet who did it, I just felt the barriers fall and by the time I got here, it was deserted."

The being watched her, bright, bright, almost too bright, green, flickered across her, eyes settled on bright red hair.

"You are an Uzumaki, are you not?"

She jumped and turned back to the being. "Y-yes."

Danny grinned and began to float towards the Kage's office. "Well, not all is lost. It may have been a long time since I was sealed, but I should be able to find everything necessary. First I'll have to find the cardinal points seals to set the foundations back together, and then we'll get about the resurrection seals."

"R-resurrection seals?!" Kushina stumbled after him, entirely out of her element for once.

"Oh, yes, I forgot to mention, one of my many names."

"And what's that?"

A smile with too much teeth and vengeance behind his eyes turned back to her.

"Uzushio."

Okay, but militaristic dictatorships and child soldiers are besties, right?

Like let's be real, any successful militaristic dictatorship gets them young and then sends them off to war. Case and point, the systematic isolation and abuse of so-called "weapons" as seen in the majority of "chosen one" stories. Harry Potter and Naruto.

I'm going to talk about Naruto though because it's almost perfect how they took a nuke, put it in a child, starved the child of love and affection and then told him that if he was good and did what the government said was the right thing, he would be loved. I'm not sure if that was what Kishimoto was going for when he wrote Naruto's storyline, but its actually impressive how well he managed to capture the essence of how a weapon can be successfully programmed to behave a certain way.

Naruto was never given any support in the village and anyone who would have given it to him was blocked because he was a nuke and thus an investment and government property. By telling him the only way for him to be acknowledged and loved was to become Hokage they basically guaranteed his cooperation, can't be Hokage and thus loved if you don't become a ninja, and you can't be a ninja if you leave Konoha.

Does anyone think it's weird how Naruto had an entire other side of his heritage from his mother, an entire village for which he was named for by his mother (Naruto mean Whirlpool) that is never mentioned, never addressed? Despite it being Konoha's sister village that was somehow allowed to be toppled by a combined assault by Kiri and Kumo? How was it never mentioned in school, the chunin vest has Uzushio's symbol on its back! Simple, to make sure Konoha was all Naruto ever knew. To make sure their nuke was loyal and well trained and fully indoctrinated into the propaganda Konoha pushed. bc, personally? I think if Naruto knew he had connections, REAL CONNECTIONS to a fallen village of seals masters who might be related to his mom, he would have started asking some inconvenient questions. And you can't have your nuke asking questions when you point and aim him.

I'll tell you what, it worked, Naruto would do anything for just the sliver of a chance that the people of Konoha would love him, he took the abuse, fought their battles, won them wars all for them to move on like it was always his duty to them to win them wars. And it was, it was always his duty to win them wars, because he was nothing but a weapon to them the second Minato put that fox in him.

Hi, I never get tired of saying how creative and talented you are ♡♡♡ I wanted to know if you would write about the Senju Clan. I know it's strange, since I haven't seen you writing anything like that and usually I don't see anything like that. I like the way you write, you're the best

Sigh. I have let this sit in my inbox way too long. I am so sorry. Thank you so much for your kind words, nonnie. I have some thoughts about the Hyuga as well, let me know if you would be interested in hearing that.

Also please note that I will change around some canon things and all of this is fanfiction/headcanon.

tagging some people i think will like reading this post: @narutobrainrotstuff , @the-real-sasuke-uchiha , @spookyphilosophertaco , @danceofthexdragons

The Senju Clan

People

Compared to the Uchiha clan, who are phenotypically rather monotonous, the Senju clan had a very diverse population with a wider range of skin tones, eye and hair colors. There were generally very little restrictions when it came to marrying into the clan and becoming a part of it. The only traits most of the Senju shared were that of fine, straight hair whilst the Uchiha had thick and dark hair with curls not being uncommon.

The reason the Senju died out were two sides of the same coin - with many of the clan's members birthing less and less children, and those who did marrying outside of the clan to the point where there are many Konoha ninjas nowadays who are part Senju but may not even know it.

Traits and Abilities

The Senju were rather unspecified, wanting to hone their skills in all three fighting styles, though I like to think that Taijutsu was one they particularly excelled in. Once one's movements were fast enough to be evaded by the base sharingan (Mangekyou sharingan was, depending on the source material, either extremely rare or nonexistent), the Senju had an easier time fighting the Uchiha. Many of them became weapons and taijutsu specialists, making me think that Tenten might be part Senju and her idolization of Tsunade was a way to connect with her roots and get to know a fellow Senju.

Another skill of the Senju was wood style, which was a skill many Senju before Hashirama posessed, but they rarely ever utilized it in battle. Said ability was caused by a point mutation in the exome, prompting Orochimaru to later carry out experiment's on embryonic DNA to artificially induce said point mutation, killing dozens of newborns in the process.

Religion

While the Uchiha followed the way of Shintōism, most of the Senju were buddhists, like their distant relatives, the Uzumaki. Initially, the people living in the country of fire were engaging in both buddhist and shintōist practices, but with the continued rise of war between the shintō-believing Uchiha and the buddhist Senju, these two religions were more or less divided.

The Senju and the Uzumaki

The establishment of Uzushiogakure in the whirlpool country was received with mixed feelings from its inhabitants. Most Uzumaki, although practiced in the arts of combat, preferred their pacifistic lifestyle of teaching their ways on paper, and not on the battlefield. This instability made it easier for the hidden mist village to send colonialist forces, killing most of the Uzumaki in fear of their congenital abilities. And with the Senju living more and more decentralized and being too occupied with themselves, Uzushiogakure lacked the manpower compared to Kiri's extermination force.

The Senju's Legacy

Nowadays, after Konoha was founded, the Senju started living more and more decentralized, therefore there wasn't such a thing as the "Senju compound". The language of the Senju was adapted as Konoha's official language, causing the other hidden villages to adapt it as well. (You can read more about my thoughts on language in the Shinobi world here.)

There were shrines for both buddhist and shintō believers in the village, but once Hashirama became the first hokage, more and more citizens adapted the Senju's religion of buddhism, with the shintō believers dwindling in numbers. Tobirama's segregation policy did not help in the slightest; although the Uchiha, who believed in family unity and support, lived closely together, being redlined and pushed into the same profession felt patronizing. But even though the Senju as a clan is no more, their legacy continues on, in good ways, and in bad.

Uzushiokagure Headcanons

I did a similar post about Kiri and a anon ask got me thinking about making one for Uzushio too! Here are some world building headcannons for Uzushiogakure:

Geography

Uzushio is located in a place with high temperatures and high humidity

likely to be hit with tropical storms, hurricanes, monsons

constant singing of the cicadas as if it's always summer

scorching sun coupled with heavy rain that doesn’t appease the heat

there are no defined seasons, it’s always hot, sunny and rainy

the seas around Uzushio are very hard do navigate, it makes it hard to get to them

the island is located close to the forests of Fire Country coast, so they also have lush green vegetation in Uzushio

Architecture

houses have to be built to withstand recurring natural disasters

subterranean shelters for the tornados, though those also get flooded during the storms sometimes

heavy building materials like stone and concrete instead of wood for example, to withstand the storms

stone also helps with cooling the temperature inside the houses

streets are not paved in anyway to help with drainage, so it's nostly grass and dirt

circular and rounded buildings as a reference to the whirpool also help them withstand the strong winds

People (the Uzumaki Clan)

big chakra reserves, great lifeforce, a lot of energy, long lifespans

they are like that because they are so close in lineage to the Sage of Six Paths

during the warring states era the Uzumaki were known as the people close to the heavens and blessed by the gods

Uzumakis are mostly extroverts and fiery, like Naruto, Kushina and Karin, but Uzumakis like Mito and Nagato, that don’t follow most stereotypes still have that fire burning inside them, they won’t settle, they know what they want, are strongwilled, strongheaded, a bit stubborn and passionate, so really, it’s not because they aren’t loud mouths that they aren’t Uzumakis where it matters

big sense of community and family

even after the massacre of Uzushio, Uzumakis tried to flee together and stick together, building their communities and helping each other wherever they went

Religion & Spirituality

since they have so much chakra and are so close to the gods and the Sage of Six Paths, they're deeply religious people

tons of temples and shrines and little altars spread around the city for a variety of gods

there are small altars inside people's homes too

a lot of rituals bring the Uzushio people together, there are seasonal festivals, parties in honor of the gods, start of harvest season banquets, offerings, weekly meetings on the temple, there are several recurring events linked to temples and gods that make up for most of their social lives

because of that the city is always decorated for some sort of festivities, it’s always very bright and colorful, and even if someone doesn't worship that particular divinity or is not involved in that event, they will still go to the event and celebrate together

Economy

since they're so isolated from a geographical standpoint, trade is not big on the region

no merchant marine or trade routes established with other countries

very closed economy, meaning they had to become self sustained

a lot of farmers between them, since the climate and soil favors tropical vegetation

even if it’s an island, their economy doesn’t revolve around fishing only, because the Uzumakis like their meat, so they also have a lot of cattle, mainly pigs, goats and chicken

they are hired by different villages and people at a very expensive price because their shinobi are very skilled, and an Uzumaki shinobi is never on low demand

shinobi activity is what drives the city's economy

in second comes money from services linked to the temples such as talismans, exorcisms, blessings, burials and others

the money from shinobi missions are reverted to the civillians too, but in general there are no conflict between what civillians want and what shinobis want

Politics

the Uzukage is always chosen by combat, they must be the strongest shinobi in the village at any given time

democratic system of sorts, since at any time anyone can challenge the Uzukage, because they should be able to hold his own, otherwise, they weren't fit to rule the village any way

the challenge is always public, always in form of a battle and always needs to be accepted or you lose by default

there are no main families or branch members like the Hyugas have, the Uzumaki stand in equal footing with each other

but of course there are different groups and parties, with people trying to connect themselves with a poweful shinobi, hoping for them to achieve the position of Uzukage and do their wish

for example, when Uzushio alligned themselves with Konoha there were people in favor and against it, at the time Mito was the second strongest shinobi in Uzushio, so she chose to help strengthen the bond by marrying Hashirama

local politics are not based on blood or lineage, only in power and political opinions

regarding international affairs, Uzushio spent a lot of time defending themselves from attackers

it's mostly an easy thing for them, since Uzumakis are strong and the way to Uzushio is long and hard but there are always constant ruckus on the borders

Culture

wear a lot of traditional clothing due to their religious traditions

people refer to others by their first name, since most of the population comes from the Uzumaki clan, and also because everybody is close and not very shy

they have great handwriting from practicing writing seals and talismans so much

very wary of spirits and respectful of the desires of the land and its creatures

not afraid of ghosts, or the dark, or haunted houses, they are very serious about leading a life in harmony with all the forces at play, including spiritual ones

big on oral tradition and not so much on the written records because: first everybody knows stuff, knowledge sharing is common and encouraged, and second, the elders and professors would live very long, so they can teach the youth themselves, instead of writing it for posterity, and that’s why after Uzushio was attacked, a lot of knowledge was lost

a lot of nursery rhymes, lullabies, supersticions, old wives' tales and popular sayings are passed down to the new generations

they also read cards, stones, tea leaves, stars, palm lines, whatever there is to draw their luck on

big eaters, all that chakra and boundless energy means they need a lot of food to fuel themselves

their cuisine is all about abundance, a lot of protein and fat, always a big volume of food, a lot of seasoning, spices, condiments, and such, loud flavors

they don't focus on veggies, fruits and baking as much as i meat, warm dishes, broth, and of course lamen

they put a lot of meaning and importance in getting together for a meal, it's a core moment for the familiar and comunal lives

the city closes during lunch so everybody can go back home to have lunch with their families and/or friends and be together in quality time

festivals often have banquets or traditional dishes linked to them, along with competitions for the biggest eater, and Uzumaki are very competitive

they're also big in games: card games, mahjong, shogi, go, dominos, bocce, drinking games and so on

there are also games that are linked with specific festivals and times of the year

they're great drinkers because of their big chakra reserves

Shinobi World

shamanism and shinobi activities blur, priests and priestesses make for great shinobi and vice versa

most of the shinobi are sensors, even some civillians are sensors

specialized in sealing

focused on research knowledge about minor gods and yokais, that's why they have things like the reaper death seal and can summon shinigamis and spiritual beings

they hunt for yokais like goddamn pokemon, and the tailed beasts were just an extention of that

when Hashirama sealed Kurama in Mito, the sealing of tailed beasts were already under research by the Uzumakis and she was the one who volunteered for it, they just needed someone like Hashirama, the god of shinobi to activate the seal

[killthetenderlove]

"The Uzumaki thrived in raw power. They liked being admired and revered at the same time, just like the sea. And they were mesmerizing. At a single glance, one could easily be enchanted and terrified by the vastness and the power that resided in them."

In short, The Uzumaki were children of the sea born with maelstroms in their blood.

Best of Time Travel AU

There are A LOT of time travel fix-it fics, but this isn't my favourite trope. That said, this post might be the only part of the recommendations for this section of Naruto fanfiction.

Uzumaki Revival by Lerya @lerya-fanfic They had been trapped in the ruins of Uzushio for who knows how long, the hastily erected barrier on the point of breaking, which would mean their deaths at the hand of Kaguya, when the Bijuu come with a solution. A solution that requires them to make the ultimate sacrifice, to give them a chance to change it all. - Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi and Obito were reborn as a part of the Uzumaki clan to fix past mistakes. This is my favourite fic, where Naruto is a functioning Kage. Everything is logical in this fanfic. Sakura is a strong and capable woman; everyone in our small group acknowledges how competent as a leader Naruto is. KakaObi and Sns are established relationships; interactions between Sasuke and Naruto are too precious. NaruSasu/SasuNaru | Time Travel AU | Fix it | KakaObi | Kage Naruto | Uzushiogakure (81,338)

French Kissing, the End of the World, and Other Impossible Ordeals by Tsume_Yuki This is it, centuries of excellent genetics, of carefully selected marriages to maximise the potential of future generations and it’s going to be Sasuke who introduces idiocy to the Uchiha bloodline. The ancestors must be rolling in their graves. In which Sasuke is smitten, Naruto is a badass, and timetravel happens. - This fic saved me from depression quite a few times. You could just read it purely for serotonin production. I just can't get over how smitten Sasuke is. They save the world together and live happily ever after. I believe this is the best-written fem Naruto I ever saw.  SasuNaru | Fem Naruto | Time Travel AU | Fix it | Smitten Sasuke | Smart Naruto | BAMF Naruto | Protective Sasuke (16,194)

Two Lifetimes by KinomiAkai @kinomiakai With every passing day, it's becoming clearer and clearer that Sasuke is dead. So what else would Naruto do, if he got the chance to try all over again? - They got another chance to fix everything. Sns is not established YET, but our boys have a happy ending.

Uzushio Headcanons!

been on a Uzumaki-centric binge for a while, so I though I'd write down my ideas somewhere, and sometimes the void throws good ideas back.

Starting out, the clans of Uzushio were absolutely merchants and pirates. Most island nations in our world have history as traders with a side of raiding either coastal villages or established trade routes. most of the rampant piracy ended with the warring clans period, but the hidden village of Uzushiogakure remained as something closer to a fortified pirate cove rather than a hidden ninja sanctuary. The actual capital of the land of Whirlpools sat on the other side of the island, a massive bastion of merchant activity where traders sold exotic goods and fleets hired Uzu ships as escorts.

speaking of Uzu ninja ships, those were large and bright and VERY visible, as if daring anyone to attack them. (I came upon this in Six Years After by Strawhat_Pirate, give the series a read) These warships range from raiding vessels about the size of a Viking longship to small fortresses gliding over the water, decked out in elaborate carvings, bright colors, and heraldry of different clans, individuals, and warrior lodges. While most of the raiding ended with the founding of Uzushiogakure, children in coastal villages all over the eastern seas learn some variation of 'Bright colors at sea, from the waters grasp flee' even up to the start of canon.

And there were a decent number of clans living in uzushio. The idea of a group of shinobi clans living together on uzushio predates the creation of Konohagakure, because power and riches tend to attract people who want in. This led to smaller shinobi clans basically showing up on Uzu's shores and swearing fealty to the Uzumaki. By the time that the other hidden villages are being recognized by their respective Daimyo, the head of the Uzumaki clan is the Daimyo of whirlpool and his successor is always the Uzukage.

a lot of people have the idea that uzushio was destroyed by 2 or 3 villages teaming up to ransack Uzu, but that feels a little over the top to me. Sure, Kirigakure would have absolutely had reason to hate Uzu, and Kumo does have a southern coast pointed almost directly at Uzu, but it always feels a little bit like power wanking. In Sha no Sho, (the third databook) it says that Kushina grew up during a period of civil war. So my theory is that Uzushio experienced some sort of internal conflict that weakened their defences near the end of the second war, which Kiri took advantage of, likely told by commanders that it was retribution for piracy their ancestors had suffered. This idea of vengeance combined with fear for uzumaki sealing techniques led to the slaughter of civilians, as refugees fled to the land of Fire. Most of the Uzumaki clan, however, didn't make it, being the main target of the Kiri nin's ire. Konoha's decree of safety only came when refugees showed up, informing Saurtobi of Uzushio's demise.

[yumeoriwrites]

I guess this is as good a first post as any? Oh well, idk how to use social media or how to draw but I wanted to try sketching this OC from my fanfic, so here he is!!!

His name is Uzumaki Suichū and he was the Uzunushi (Whirlpool Lord) at the time of the fall of Uzushio. I say was because my boy is dead as can be. Anyway, he's based on Cross Marian, so any resemblance is not mere coincidence.

I'm still learning to draw pls be nice.

[a-mirror-of-memories]

I rediscovered my love for naruto's universe (after smashing canon to pieces)

Which one of my aus/headcanons should I expand?

Note: more than one of this ideas belong to the same universe

*This two are related, but they're not the only ones

Explanation of each choice under:

Altenative sage of the six paths origin story (non canon) + rant of how his inability to accept his own bad parenting ruined both of his children, their descendants and almost destroyed the world (canon).

Uzushio tales: pre konoha -a glimse to the past of a land lost to war. It's clans, members, traditions and what could have been. Because the uzumaki clan was not the only thing lost when uzushiougakure fell.

Team cursed seal: Uzumaki Kushina and Hyuga Hizashi been put on the same genin team, through the years going from barely standing each other to the sibling they desperately needed

Crack au: not so genius Minato unable to make even the simplest dish without turning it into a bio hazzard/why was he always the designated dishwasher in the uzumaki/namikaze household

A prank gone right: one night after detonating a glitter bomb in the ANBU headquarters Naruto and his shiny pursuers stumbling into a kumo nin (forgot what his position was) tying to kidnap Hinata

Hizashi still dies. For what he consider selfish reasons neji finds and befriends the only uzumaki living on the village when they were still on the academy. Pre rookie nine graduation Neji's still resentful of Hinata until he explain the cage bird seal to naruto and his best friend set his head straight. At the end neji confess to naruto (and himself) the real reason for approaching him at first. Includes fuinjutsu master-in-training naruto and neji learning more about his father's past+getting a new hobby

[zentriii]

i was thinking about tobirama's death [as one does] in the first war compared to how hiruzen led konoha during the third war and had to sit with the cultural change in warfare in which clan leaders [during the warring clans]/kages take a backseat to lead their men. and i was like okay well tobirama grew up and spent his life on the battlefield of course he dies in war. and with hiruzen only being selected right before he dies, clearly it wasn't a smooth transition to power, likely leading hiruzen to not fight in the next wars, knowing just how turbulent a change in power in the middle of the war can be [which adds to more reasons beyond age and increased manpower in the war for why he holds onto the hat until the end of the third war. it seems to be a choice the other kages either choose not to follow or can't by the time of the fourth war but anyways–].

tobirama. dying in the war. back to that.

hey why the fuck is the hokage even running missions during the war with only his escort unit anyways?? Clearly it must be something important, right?? i mean u got the leader of a whole ass village during the first ever war since peace was made, tobirama's presence had to be vital. yes you could explain increased risk taking behaviour coupled with apathy towards his life by grief but he's not kakashi. fun parallel but i think circumstances are different enough to explore the route that no one else could have taken this sort of mission. as in top secret. as in hush hush.

while i think the idea of a leak is great fuel for danzo's seal [beyond the obvious reasons], i think it's just standard shinobi luck that eventually got them. apologies for the brief powerscaling but i do NOT think tobirama couldn't have taken out the kinkaku unit by himself if he was in peak condition. like yea there were at least 20 of them, two of which were like. mini jinchurikis. so it wouldn't have been an easy, decisive win, but at no point do any of them suggest taking them head on. which i think is interesting because your options are that konoha's presence cannot be known due to the delicacy of the mission or something OR they're injured and know there's no chance of victory. i mean come on, it's 7:20, not the greatest odds but not impossible either, especially with a hokage in the mix. which given the plan they went with, it can't be a complete secrecy thing.

so yea. you got a weakened squad of seven, likely on their way back from a mission since there's no line about abandoning it after running something of importance. and like. not to pin everything on danzo [whom i find interesting and complex and want to squash like a bug], but building on the fanon that he played a role in the destruction of uzushio? i think running an errand or message or wtv to them of great importance bc of konoha's alliance with them but then losing their hokage for it?? oh it would be so easy for him to look the other way, to not quite consider sending help as an urgent matter. according to this analysis, konoha already had its hands full of their own matters anyways.

if danzo learns how easy it is to look away, mayb even how beneficial it is to konoha in the long run without powerful yet unreliable allies, well. the uchiha massacre is just another domino in this series of events, isn't it? [danzo my beloved unreliable narrator ur descent into madness captivates me babygirl]

[i referenced this timeline when my memory was a bit spotty bc kishimoto's timeline is a horrendous mess btw but i might have missed a few things. if you'll excuse me i have to go scream into a pillow or something]

[naluwalker]

Quick, before I forget

Naruto AU where the Uchiha Massacre does not happen due to an unexpected change.

Well, here we go:

So, as we all know, with the Kyūbi incident the Uchiha were marginalized and "kindly" moved to the outskirts of the village, while Tobirama Senju's negative opinions gained a lot of strength and worsened, until it reached the point that in general There weren't many Uchiha to be seen outside the compound and the civilians barely tolerated them.

The Uchiha, reasonably feeling that they were being expelled from the town, began to show disagreement with the situation and demand options for change. In the middle of that, an anonymous Uchiha voice said in what could only be a moment of fed up and bitterness

“Wouldn't it be better if we just left Konoha?”

And somehow this thought, silent but strong, began to spread throughout the clan.

By the time Itachi joined the ANBU and the situation in Konoha was beginning to be unbearable for many of the clan, the idea of leaving Konoha had completely supplanted that of the coup d'état. Plans upon plans were formed: places to settle, safe routes to escape, ways to protect themselves, and most importantly, avoid the very unpleasant intentions that the Konoha government had for them. The supposed coup d'état was used as a shield and mask for the real plan, and thus protect itself from Konoha's interests.

For the settlement, they chose the only place where they felt that Konoha would not look for them and they began the plan that took a year to complete.

Subtly, they began to uproot the most defenseless, children and the elderly, removing them from places where they were visible, such as the Academy, while the civilian Uchiha who would be in charge of preparing the land and building the new home were silently removed from the village.

By the time Danzō Shimura and the self-proclaimed Madara Uchiha planned to intervene in the situation to advance their respective plans, the settlement was finished, the route established, and protections secured. In this situation, Shisui and Itachi Uchiha had chosen their clan over the village this time and as Fugaku had requested they became spies to monitor the progress of the situation of the Hokage and his council and more easily hide the escape plan of any suspicion or leak.

With this in mind, all the children and elderly were taken from the village through a hidden route in the Naka River and quickly put into merchant caravans to be hidden and escorted, then the non-shinobi teenagers and young people followed, and later the non-shinobi adults.

In the midst of this, Shisui Uchiha secretly agreed to become bait for Danzō Shimura and was guided to the Naka River by ROOT where he faked his suicide; Unaware of this, Itachi believed him dead and awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, but Shisui was quickly recovered by relatives who were in hiding at the time and put on route to the settlement.

Itachi learned of this the next day from his father, so he met with Danzō Shimura with the goal of recovering Shisui's eye. In a rapid succession of events, Itachi recovered Shisui's eye and non-fatally wounded the councilman, causing the escape of the remaining clan members to accelerate from days to hours.

By the time Obito alias Madara Uchiha arrived in Konoha with the aim of murdering his relatives, the clan complex was absolutely empty and the next day the disappearance of his largest clan was known throughout the town, without anyone having an idea of where they had gone or how they had done it.

Meanwhile, the Uchiha clan was tense and paranoid but with notes of joy emerging as they hid within seals and seals of protection afforded to them by newly settled Uzushiogakure.

[theglamorousferal]

I long for a fictional place. I feel homesick for a place that exists primarily in the fandom of this media. It’s barely a footnote in canon.

It’s where the main character’s mother is from. It was a sister-village to the main focus of the show. The princess from this country wed the ruler of the one the media focuses on. We know nothing besides what their primary weapon was and that it took two nations to take them down.

The fandom has made a culture for this place. A vibrancy, a way of life. Styles and symbolism and techniques. Family and village traditions. Cuisine, artwork and imports. Sports and martial arts and weaponry. But most importantly love, for each other, the village, the very land and sea they walk on. So much that it feels as though the village itself is alive and breathing through its people. A love of life, and an understanding of death.

I long for a home that doesn’t exist. Not in real life, and not in canon.

Note: This is moreso in terms of coolness as well as how much you like the characters from there. This is NOT in terms of powerscaling.

I think this should be all of the ones in the manga. Wait, was Tanigakure in the manga? IDK, I just checked the wiki in case I was forgetting one.

I’m not including villages from anime fillers nor am I including ones from the light novels. This is mostly due to poll limits as well as the fact that not everyone might know those.

I’m also not including the Land of Iron since I wanted to focus on shinobi villages. If you want me to include a poll with the Land of Iron, LMK.

Languages in the shinobi world, part 2

Now, almost a year later after my first post about the languages spoken in the hidden villages, and in light of another worldbuilding post I am working on, I wanted to add a little expansion to this language-type heacanon I have going on, which explains some inconsistencies my first post had created.

Official vs Spoken Languages

Now, after Konoha was founded and other villages followed suit, a common language had to be found in order to communicate. During the founding years of Konoha, there was a big debate on whether the language of the Senju or the Uchiha shall be used as an official language. The Uchiha, being fast language learners themselves, begrudlingly agreed upon the use of the Senju language (Japanese) in hopes of establishing peace by giving up such a key part of their identity as a clan and ethnical group. The Senju language quickly established itself as the standard spoken language in the ninja villages before it spilled over to the capital cities of their respective countries, replacing the previously spoken langues from then on.

The Thing About Uzushiogakure

In my head, the wave country are the remains of the pool country once allied with Konoha until other villages (mainly Kumo and Kiri) eradicated the Uzumaki clan and with it, its culture and its language. I'm sure there are some idioms and sayings from the Uzumaki language that have found their way into the language spoken in the shinobi world to this day, giving the Uzumaki language a little way to continue on, despite the majority of its speakers being dead.

Languages are a fascinating topic I know way too little about, so if you have any thoughts on this post, please add onto it and show me your ideas!

My random ideas on Naruto

Naruto should have learned about Uzushio and the uzumaki clan.And use the knowledge for better pranks.

Naruto should be super stealthy somehow like when he pranks the village, and the ANBU can’t catch him or find him 

So trap master Naruto.
