team 7 dinner in 'obito lives and him and Sakura are buddies' au

Yamato: Can you pass the potatoes? Sakura, unprompted: obito. can you kill my parents Obito: …..no Sakura: Why not? Everyone else is an orphan. do you want me to feel left out? I thought we were friends. Obito: Sakura that would be a bad idea. I'm pretty sure. Kakashi would be PISSED if I just killed two civilians for no reason. Kakashi, who is sitting right there, in his own house: yeah, I- Sakura: Well, he'll be pissed if I kill them for pestering me about 'marrying one of those shinobi freaks', and at least everyone already thinks you're crazy so it wouldn't be a major set back in your 'redemption' or whatever. C'mon. help a girl out. Obito: Sasuke: you cannot seriously be considering this Naruto: haha Sakura, very funny…… Obito: Sai: I can kill them. If you really want. Sakura: But I actually CARE about you getting in trouble, sai. Even if I didn't Ino would KILL ME. Sai: Oh. Okay. Are you sure? I think she'd kill anyone you asked also. Sakura: well yeah, but. That's different. Kakashi: Oh my god. can we not have. ONE dinner. Sakura: I was just making conversation! jeez! Obito, who went out of his way to get killshots on the clan members that annoyed him the most as a kid: ….I mean. Is it a crime to help a girl out? Sakura: See? PERFECT fall guy! Who knows, maybe he'll finally get executed for his senseless violence. Kakashi: SAKURA. Obito, sighing wistfully: if only we could be so lucky. Kakashi: OBITO. Yamato: …can someone. PLEASE pass the potatoes?

Tenten Week 2025: DAY 5 KUNG FU EMEI /ROOMIE

I promise Tenten was the inspiration behind this! I love them all though :D

[aceyanaheim]

Damm tho at least Ino has her boys and Asuma to like tell her to eat food ( with varying succes and only sometimes but still). Sakura's going into diet culture while on a team with an orphan who's probably used to skipping meals whenever hiruzen didnt give him enough money and another orphan who's kitchen is a crime scene like how did that team survive actually.

[hagizoku]

Happy to announce we will be holding an Ino Event for her birthday this year. We will be announcing prompts in July. Follow us to stay updated on this event.

『 Day 2: Hot Spring Girls Trip 』

[notsofastwawa]

Really love how this turned out! Just Sakura and Ino having fun doing their thing

[imaginarianisms]

"Deep breath, I have you." (Ino to Gaara)

The whirlwind of sand was a raging storm all around him, peridot hues widened with a fear and a rage he hasn't felt in so long that it almost frightened him. Shukaku stirred within him, deep and grumbling and reaching with behemoth claws of sand. Even one mention of his father was enough to spiral him into rage, a feat that Gaara admitted that he still needed repairs on. Sleep tugged at his heart and for a moment he wanted to succumb to slumber, even if that meant Shukaku would take over his body in his place. A whirl of blonde hair and blue eyes blurred into his vicinity, and upon recognition of a vaguely familiar kunoichi, began to lower his sand barrier. Deep... breaths... the Kazekage-to-be told himself, forcing himself to breathe in deeply in and out. As he did so, her name came to mind. Yamanaka Ino. Anyone could tell from her clan's features from a mile away. She'd come to Suna for diplomatic purposes in the hopes of strengthening the Konoha-Suna alliance after the events of the past few years, so if Naruto could place his trust in her, then perhaps so could he. ❝𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚-𝐬𝐚𝐧. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮.❞ He tells her as the sand fell all around them.

❀ 𝐒𝐀𝐊𝐔𝐑𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐔𝐍𝐎 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓

— March 28th is Sakura Haruno/Uchiha’s birthday! We compiled a list of 28 facts about her in celebration of her special day.

🌸DAY 1:

Sakura is the second oldest and tallest female of her trio and her generation after Temari. She was born on March 28th and she’s 165cm tall, the same height as Ino Yamanaka, according to her two official adult character design provided by Studio Pierrot.

🌸DAY 2:

Sakura is the kunoichi with the most outfit and hair changes of her generation in canon including The Last: Naruto the Movie.

She’s known for her sporty Chinese style of traditional qipaos or modern qipaos with a zipper in the middle and tights to complete the look. She also wears her ninja gear and Konohagakure headband is red to compliment her pink hair. Her representative color is red or scarlet, which she always in her clothes with some bits of white in the edges and pants. 

Her hair has also changed throughout the eras from long hair parted in the middle, shoulder length, slightly longer with bangs and a bop style with the hairline on her left.

(Her Naruto Gaiden and Sasuke Retsuden styles are not included in this picture)

🌸DAY 3: 

Sakura is the only kunoichi to wear her family’s crest on her clothes and the only one to wear her Konohagakure headband with all her clothes.

It’s a tradition she has cherished with since she was a child, wearing the Haruno crest on her back first and the Uchiha crest after marriage. This is also a token she shares with Team 7, with Naruto wearing the Uzumaki clan crest and Sasuke wearing the Uchiha clan crest on their clothes in the manga.

🌸DAY 4:

Sakura is the most popular kunoichi of Naruto according to the official manga character popularity polls during serialization.

Adding all the polls together, she obtained 11.889 points, earning the first place overall among the female characters. Link to the third databook character popularity poll.

She was also voted third most popular Naruto character in Naruto Worldwide Character Popularity Poll NARUTOP99 and the most popular kunoichi with 489.619 daily votes. Link to the poll results.

🌸DAY 5:

Sakura is the only kunoichi of her generation of Konoha shinobi to be promoted to jōnin rank and the second kunoichi besides Temari. After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sakura and Shikamaru were promoted to jōnin, becoming the only shinobi of their generation to be promoted at the time. 

Up to Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Sakura Haruno, Temari Nara, Shikamaru Nara, Neji Hyūga and Rock Lee are the only jōnin of that generation in Konohagakure.

🌸DAY 6:

According to official sources, databooks and novels, Sakura became the best medical-ninja in Konohagakure and the world at age 17 after surpassing her master, the Fifth Hokage and Sannin, Tsunade. Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage and God of Shinobi also noted that Sakura had also surpassed Tsunade in strength, becoming the strongest kunoichi too.

Sakura becomes one of the kunoichi to be considered “the best” at her field, medical ninjutsu and taijutsu with enhanced strength, along with being Temari hailed as the best Wind Release and tessenjutsu user in the world and Ino implied to be the best telepath of her clan.

🌸DAY 7:

Sakura was the sixth character Masashi Kishimoto created when he was thinking about the story. As he drew, he decided to add the heroine and create a love triangle between the hero, the rival and the heroine.

🌸DAY 8: 

According to Boruto: Naruto Next Generations’ character trivia at the end of Volume 3, Sakura Uchiha is currently the strongest among her jōnin mates by a huge margin and also the third strongest ninja of Konohagakure after Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.

She’s also still the second smartest person of her generation behind Shikamaru like it was said in the manga. Her profile also states that she has perfect taijutsu, ninjutsu and high resistance.

🌸DAY 9:

Not only is Sakura recognized as the strongest kunoichi in official material, but the Uchiha couple formed by Sakura and Sasuke Uchiha are also hailed as “the strongest married couple” in official material. Their descriptions in Sasuke Retsuden read: “The strongest couple fight at the end of the universe.” “… The strongest couple running through?!” “Spouses and partners. The strongest couple’s infiltration.”

This is because Sasuke is the strongest shinobi alive with Naruto Uzumaki.

🌸DAY 10:

Sakura is the third most experienced kunoichi of her trio and fourth of her generation. She completed 34 missions in total by age 16, a little less than Team 10 and Temari due to Naruto and Sasuke leaving Konohagakure and Sakura being left as the only member of Team 7.

However, she’s also the only kunoichi to have completed seven A-rank missions, which are normally completed by a group of experienced chūnin or jōnin mostly, while being of genin and chūnin rank. Some of these A-rank missions she completed as a genin. She also completed missions for Tsunade and escaped the village to investigate Sasuke’s whereabouts.

🌸DAY 11:

Despite only focusing on taijutsu and medical ninjutsu to fight, Sakura’s elemental affinities include Water and Earth just like Ino. She’s also very skilled in Yin techniques like genjutsu and her Yang Release allows her to perform highly complex medical ninjutsu.

One of her jutsu, the Cellular Extraction Healing Technique, manipulates Water Release to remove poison. According to Sasuke Retsuden, she’s also proficient in Fire Release. Sakura, Temari and Ino are the only kunoichi to use the elements in canon.

🌸DAY 12:

Besides her active job as a ninja of Konohagakure, Sakura has also actively contributed to the village in other fields. She has worked in Konoha Hospital from age 16 as one of the village’s top doctors, and now she’s the Medical Director of the health system of Konohagakure. She's also a member of the Cypher Corps shown during Pain’s Assault too.

Similarly, Ino used to help her parents at Yamanaka Flowers from time to time and now she runs the shop with her own family; while Temari was the Kazekage’s bodyguard and ambassador and now she’s the Ambassador between Konohagakure and Sunagakure.

🌸DAY 13:

Haruno Sakura (春野サクラ) means “field of cherry blossoms” and her name, Sakura (サクラ), means “cherry blossom flower”. This is a symbol of her pink hair and green eyes like cherry blossoms and red clothes like the cherry fruit.

The cherry blossom is also Japan’s national flower, very cherished and famous around the world because it signals the arrival of spring and flower season.

🌸DAY 14:

Sakura represents the cherry blossoms, a flower that is cherished and treasured in Japan for its beauty and short lifespan that is often associated with samurais. 

According to the Japanese language of flowers, Hanakotoba, the cherry blossom or Sakura represents kindness, gentleness and transience of life; while in China they represent feminine beauty. 

🌸DAY 15:

Sakura has been praised for her beauty by several characters in the manga and novels, and she’s the most beautiful kunoichi of Naruto and Boruto according to the author too.

Masashi Kishimoto in chapter 252 and The Last databook, Rock Lee, Naruto Uzumaki, Inari, Jiji and even Ino have praised her beauty in canon. Rock Lee and Naruto Uzumaki are also known to have been in love with Sakura while Naruto was serialized. 

🌸DAY 16:

Sakura is one of the two females of her generation to have a summoning, the other being Temari. She has a contract with the slug Katsuyu of the “Three Big Unexplored Sage Regions”, the Shikkotsu Forest. 

This summon is the most special in the series because it can only be summoned if the user possesses the Strength of a Hundred Seal. Katsuyu is also known to be an offense and defense type of summon with incredible durability and the ability to change from solid to liquid. Moreover, she’s capable of dividing her body into hundreds of fragments that can sense, heal and communicate with each other to share intel no matter the distance.

🌸DAY 17:

Sakura is one of the most skilled ninja in ninjutsu, taijutsu and a user of very advanced techniques. She is the only kunoichi of her generation to master not one but two S-rank techniques: Creation Rebirth and the Strength of a Hundred Seal; and with Tsunade and now her daughter, she has perfect chakra control that can’t be copied even with Sharingan or Mind Body Switch.

She can also use techniques on a superior level than others like taijutsu and medical ninjutsu.

🌸DAY 18:

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sakura was assigned to the Third Unit, the Intermediate-range battle unit. That group had specialist in both close and mid-range battle skills in taijutsu and ninjutsu with high speed and great strength including the masters Might Guy and Rock Lee with taijutsu, and Kakashi Hatake with ninjutsu. 

She was later joined the Medical and Logistical Support Division to help Shizune, where she healed many shinobi and defeated the White Zetsu, saving the Alliance from murderers and intruders.

🌸DAY 19:

Sakura is one of the shinobi most related to Hokages and she’s quite close with the Kage in general. She’s a student of the Fifth and Sixth Hokage, was praised by the First and follows his will, and the best friend of the Seventh Hokage. Gaara, the Kazekage, has also praised her skills in taijutsu and medical ninjutsu and considers her a pillar of his life.

Sakura is also quite close with the current Gokage and her status as a person with the highest rank after Naruto, she has attended Kage Summits and kept secrets of international interest. Moreover, she has also been acknowledged as a perfect replacement for the Hokage.

🌸DAY 20:

Out of 700 chapters of Naruto, Sakura appears in +330. Link to the manga count.

She’s the female lead and heroine of the series, and the kunoichi with the most screen time of her generation.

🌸DAY 21:

Sakura is the only kunoichi to have a side story starring as the co-protagonist in several formats: novel, manga and anime.

In Sasuke Retsuden, with Sasuke and Sakura Uchiha, she infiltrates a remote country called Redaku to find a cure for Naruto’s illness and becomes the heroine of the Observatory. 

🌸DAY 22:

In Naruto Retsuden and Boruto, Sakura is recognized as one of the five most important people in Konohagakure and the only most important kunoichi of her generation.

This is popularly known as “The Five Pillars of Konoha” and it highlights Sakura’s dedication to Konoha’s medical development from Naruto to Boruto. From the start, Sakura has contributed to Konoha’s health system as a top-rated doctor, later opening mental health organizations across nations and finally leading Konoha’s Medical Department.

The Pillars of Konoha is also a reference to the Japanese card game Koi-Koi (こいこい), played with the Hanafuda cards. The Hikari cards are the most valuable combination of the game (20 points) and the cards together are called the Gokō (Five lights - 五光). In that combination, Sakura represents the cherry blossom (桜, cherry blossom).

🌸DAY 23: 

According to the first fanbook, Sakura was praised by Iruka Umino, her sensei, for her great chakra control and intelligence in the Academy, and she aced all the written exams too with the highest grades.

She was also the only person to complete and answer correctly all the questions of the written test of the Chūnin Exams without cheating, something Ino took advantage of with her jutsu.

Sakura is known to be the sharpst mind of Konohagakure and the most intelligent kunoichi.

🌸DAY 24:

Sakura’s first ever friend was Ino, who defended her from bullies and helped her gain confidence and self-esteem. Despite becoming healthy rivals later on, both remained the best of friends and have helped each other many times in their lives

Also, Sakura was probably Temari’s first female friend. Not only was Temari’s first interaction with Sakura but they also show amity good feelings in part 2. Later Sakura would save Temari from a stab wound and together with Ino they’d become best friends.

🌸DAY 25:

Sakura, just like Temari, married into another clan that isn’t her own.

Originally from a small civilian family, Sakura joined one of the strongest and noble clans of Konoha, the Uchiha. She has become the matriarch and the mother of the first Uchiha born after the massacre.

🌸DAY 26:

In the new era, Sakura is the Head of Konoha’s Medical Department as a full-time job. Her main task is lead other doctors as the Director of Konoha Hospital as she's their main doctor always taking the most important cases. As the head of the entire medical division, she’s also a teacher of medical ninjutsu for the new generation.

She briefly became the head doctor of the Astronomy Observatory of the Land of Redaku.

Her continuation as a member of the Cypher Corps hasn't been brought up.

Sakura is also often seen training Sarada in chakra control, taijutsu, medical ninjutsu and shuriken.

She's still an active jōnin too that goes on missions regularly.

More idol themed doodles~ Part 1

Alguien más tan emocionado como yo por el shikaino?

[fareasterncurlew]

Another nice short chapter. Cool to learn more about Ojosa. (It gives me hope that maybe one day we'll get a chapter about bandmate Hanya, my favourite character. We'll see, a girl can dream).

Shame it's not the greatest YamaNaka chapter in history. Anyway, good report. Until next week.

Also, volume 29 released in English. The study camp arc, long as it may be, is one of my favourites so I'm glad it's finally out.

The Komi Report - Communication 453

This week in Komi Can't Communicate:

A check-in with the band geeks

Read It: Mangareader Mangakakalot Viz Media (North America Exclusive) Mangadex (English updates are dead, but there’s the backlog; and Spanish + Portuguese language updates)

Regrettably, it's not the biggest YamaNaka chapter in history.

I'm thieving and stealing this meme made by friend-of-The-Report @strykno because I resonate with it deeply

We're out here snuffling for crumbs and getting only motes of dust. But I can't spend all day being bitter that my utterly unjustified expectations are going unsatisfied (although I can and I will).

It's nice to learn something new about a member of Perro Rabbit. With Yamai and Nakanaka always the focus, the other girls do a lot of standing around in the background. This chapter doesn't give us much, but we do learn one important detail:

They have band practice in an apartment???? On like the fourth floor?????? An electronic drum kit will not save you. Your amps will vibrate your edgy emo rock directly through the the floor and cause a small earth quake in the downstairs unit.

But seriously, the actual important detail is...

...that Ojosa goes through parents like I go through mars bars. Tbh though, I think her life isn't tragic enough. I think her sad story about never feeling like she has a real home is weakened by how nice her step-family is. The band environment doesn't contrast with the family environment, because they both seem rather pleasant; except for the two gay idiots who insist on bickering even though it's obvious they want to kiss really bad.

I think Ojosa's family should be at least a little cold and distant; less accommodating. Then the casual warmth and fun of the band would contrast with her home life.

Maybe the band practice could have started at Ojosa's place, but then her step-mother says they have to stop because Ojosa's step-sisters want the room or something like that (anything that shows the sisters always get priority. It's Cinderella). So then the band moves to someone else's place, and the space is smaller and a little run-down (in contrast to the bourgeois mansion Ojosa lives in) but they're free to be themselves there and so it's warm and happy. Queue the sob story about missing connection to family and never having a real home. Queue my tears of sorrow.

Those are my editor's notes. Oda, have a revised draft of 453 on my desk my Monday.

Until next week, my dear reader, stay safe and stay emoiing!

hiii! no one asked but i wanted to post my team 10 related headcanons. again not canon compliant at all n its very college au :D

Team 10 Headcanons

- choji has to start using everyone else as his taste testers because ino n shikamaru are sick of his food

- like don’t get them wrong they love it normally but after choji cooks the same hidden cloud dish for the millionth time (he’s preparing a home cooked meal for karui), they’re tapped out

- one time there were rumors that shikamaru n ino were dating and ino almost tf passed out

- she was wondering where she went so wrong

- it was the most embarrassing week of her life and to this day, she can’t think about it without being annoyed

- they drunkenly got matching tattoos

- ino has instigated every single fight to happen in her 4 years at konoha academy

- and trust n believe she got those fight videos too

- ino taught choji and shikamaru all about flowers

- they didn’t gaf that much but they start to find it interesting how many different things can be conveyed with flowers

- especially when they started dating their respective girlfriend

- ino is dramatic and cannot go out with choji n shikamaru if they look messy (in her eyes)

- she’ll see a wrinkle in shikamaru’s shirt and she makes him take it off and shows him how to iron it

- ino damn near threw up when her dad made a joke about her marrying shikamaru or choji

- she called them her brothers n inoichi never bothered her again

- choji brought up his n karui’s 6 month anniversary and shikamaru n ino are like “??? who??”

- choji remembers that he actually forgot to tell them lolz!

- it wasn’t on purpose, after choji went on an extended trip to the hidden cloud n met karui, he just wanted to keep her to himself for a bit

- speaking of dating, shikamaru n choji tried the whole “if you hurt her we’ll kill you” spiel on sai but he was so unphased that they were embarrassed

- they realized their worry was unneeded after sai made a girl who was nasty to ino cry

- when shikamaru tells them that he’s officially dating temari, he watches choji begrudgingly slip ino a twenty dollar bill

- appalled they were betting on him but mainly that choji was betting against him

- they’re all very very comfy with one another

- i’m talking they had sleepovers up until the age of 17 and after they graduated, they moved in together

- no one can really guess what vibe these mfs be on, the only people who truly understand them is them

- their ideal days all consist of spending time with one another

- ino really doesnt play about these two

- they’re her blood (in her mind) and anyone who slights them have slighted her

- which is terrible for shikamaru n choji’s opps because you never want ino fucking yamanaka mad at you

- very unserious trio, we love you inoshikacho!
