Most caring boyfriend

Ayato is so caring after all. He cares so much about his girlfriend 😭. Poor Yui.

I loved this quote. A big thanks to anon for sending this to me 😅😅.

[almostglitterycreator]

Less Obvious

Ayato: No, I don’t like Chichinashi in the slightest. Girls with no boobs don’t interest ore-sama! 

Shu: Ayato, everyone in this family can tell that you hang on to that woman’s every word like a puppy.  

Ayato: I do not! Shut up! 

Shu: Look, here she comes. 

Yui: Hello Ayato-kun, Shu-san! 

Ayato: What do you want?

Yui: Ayato-kun, I–

Ayato: 👀 

Yui: –wanted–

Ayato: 👀 👀

Yui: –to let you know–

Ayato: 👀 👀 👀

Yui: –that Reiji-san wanted to see you. 

Ayato: Dammit! 

Yui: Don’t worry, I’m sure it’s nothing! (^_^) 

(as she leaves) 

Shu: *whispers* …you could try being less obvious, you know.

I never thought I would live to see a flustered sasuke choking on his coffee and hiding his face behind a mug like a shy little boy

Also Sakura, you hit the nail right in the head and he knows it too ;)

The way he hides his face is so cute , bet he must be a flustered, blushing mess

(now we have an insight about how sasuke sakura's love story would've been like in the blank period , and even after so many years they still act like newly Weds )

hiii i saw one of your posts with the caption “Loving you comes in waves , sometimes nothing and sometimes big enough to drown me and you both ” and i can't stop thinking about so i wanted to ask where it comes from <3

First of all ,Hi Anon !

So about that caption , tbh I don't know myself where it came from, it just came to me all of a sudden while posting , I like reading quotes and maybe it's a product of that but I think it's heavily inspired by the song 'waves' . Personally I feel like sasuke's feelings comes in waves , normally he's a closed off character but when he feels , it must be overwhelming because of the saying ' Uchihas feels too deeply' and this can be shown when he's out to get revenge and go crazy . So on that theory , when he loves he would love too deeply too . And in sasuke retsuden manga we got a peek of his loving side when they are at the lake . In other words , when sasuke gets 'romantic ' it must be overwhelmingly full of love .

Back to the question about caption , I made it on spot because I feel like that quote defines sasuke's loving side brilliantly. And the quote is inspired by some other quotes and the song waves .

Frankly I love this caption myself .

I hope my answer is alright to understand because I am not that good at explaining feelings.

But thanks for asking!

Stay healthy and safe ,

well wishes to you and your loved ones!

#sasusaku #loving you comes in waves #thanks anon!

"sasuke-kun."

he foregoes the string of ramen on his chopsticks to focus on sakura tapping the edges of her lips.

really? in ichiraku? on their busy hour?

sasuke raises an eyebrow, waiting for her confirmation, but she simply repeats the action, her features more annoyed now.

"can it wait later?" he'd like to add, 'i can make it worth your while', 'would love to kiss you longer', 'i'm sure the tongue here is meant for other things'.

sakura eventually shrugs. "suit yourself."

and she sounds so dejected it activates the part of him she only sees.

all it takes is a quick second. a hand in the air, a slight brush of the breeze, and he leans in to capture her mouth.

"what—"

the blush in her cheeks is a furious red.

"what? you wanted me to kiss you."

"sasuke—i was only telling you there's a piece of food on your cheek!"

On wasted years of teenage girls and what's beyond them:

A Sakura Haruno quick character study.

⠀

⠀Ignoring Kishimoto's possible implications or even his intentions for the character, I think one of the coolest facts about Sakura is that she wasted so many of her Academy years in superficial stuff.

And you'd say: “How is that good? Or cool?”

Listen, most 12 years old have their lives figured out. They don't have a clear path to follow, they haven't lived a traumatic experience that altered completely their core and the paths they'd follow for the rest of their lives. They don't attach their personal growth or maturity process to stuff like revenge or proving to my homeplace that I, a 12 years old kid, deserve basic human treatment.

There are kids like that, of course. Kids like Naruto and Sasuke, like Neji and Rock Lee, like Itachi and Kakashi and so many other kids that worked hard for years to become strong in their system 'cause they knew what they wanted, needed even.

⠀

But pre-teen girls with a relatively normal life?

⠀You mean to tell me it's not common for them to fall prey of the social obsession over physical appearance? Specially little girls who were bullied for not being up to the standard, girls who crave attention from someone well-liked or popular because that would make them worthy or visible to the others. The reason they are so many books and movies and stories about how awful is to be a teenage girl, is not for fun. The expectations are crushing: from your parents, from society, from the people at power even.

And if you were one of this girls, only to wake up one day after a reality check, let me tell you it hits you so, so hard. You'd obsess over the lost time, terrified it's too late, you'll never be able to catch up with the others. You fell into the trap and now it's game over. Except is not, but no one will ever stop reminding you of that mistake you made.

Even if it was on a period of your life when things were changing so fast you could barely follow the flow of it all. Your body was changing, hormones betraying you. You were expected to be sincere but not overly vulnerable and be pretty but not superficial and be joyful but not annoying and be quiet but not utterly submissive and— you get it.

⠀

⠀My favorite part is that Sakura, a late bloomer, never gave up on herself. For all the people who wasted years of their life caring so much about things that didn't matter at all in the end, Sakura is good representation of what it feels to try and recover. Honey, you can still achieve your dream. Stop beating yourself up, stop destroying yourself over mistake you knew because you didn't know better. You know better now, don't you?

It's not gonna be easy, but you can still work for it, go for it, train for it, you can change. Humans are allowed to change. If you had a slow start, if you found your purpose years after you were expected too, if you find it hard to understand what to do or even understand yourself, if you crumbled under the pressure, if you weren't as strong willed or if you didn't have it as bad as others, breath, it's okay, don't punish yourself any further.

⠀

⠀And it brings me to the question of why do we confuse obsession with passion. Why do we turn innocent actions into something with ill intentions?

Naruto was passionate about being Hokage the same way Sasuke was passionate about revenge. Sasuke's thing wasn't negative before Orochimaru put in his head that he was wasting time. Sakura was passionate about getting recognition from Sasuke at first, which is not so different from Naruto wanting recognition from the village or Sasuke wanting his brother to acknowledge him.

And it was not until the Forest of Death that she realized she doesn't want recognition of that type anymore That's the symbolism behind her cutting her head. She wants Naruto and Sasuke to see her as someone they can truly trust in, as an equal not in terms of power, but a reliable teammates. There she shows that she has grown to the point she cares about them both, about what both of them think of her, about their well-being and approval as her friends. She's done wasting time, and even when we see he's every inch as weak as she was before, what changes is her actitud.

⠀

⠀If you read her interactions with this in mind, it makes more sense.

In the beginning of the Chunnin Exams, Kakashi makes sure she will participate for herself and not her teammates. She does. And Kakashi's worries are confirmed twice, when she almost raised her hand after the writing exam because she was concerned about Naruto and when she almost raised her hand after the Forest of Death, because she was concerned about Sasuke. She wanted to be there but she was willing to give it up if it was to protect her teammates dreams or well-being.

She tries to stop Sasuke from leaving the village because that's her first big loss. That's her first time facing a tragedy. It is traumatic, just not so big when compared to her team experiences. But she just realized how much they mean to her and how much she wants to be better for them and now it's over, too late, too late, too late.

She asks Naruto to retrieve Sasuke because she does know she was weak, she wasted her time, she should be better. And when Naruto comes back so beaten, she swears next time she will be able to go with him. At least strong enough to be considered to go on the mission, to be considered useful enough, skillful enough.

Her reason to train with Tsunade is because she wants to be capable of resisting the conditions of a fight. Being a medic nin made her irreplaceable, being a combat medic nin gave her the freedom of following her team around and withstanding more than the common medic nin.

She fights Sasori and learns mid-fight to deal with him without Chiyo'd help, all not just for Gaara, but for a clue of Sasuke's whereabouts. And she got it. In that sense, she reached her goal in that moment. She proved she had it in her.

⠀

⠀From there on, it was a struggle. Almost every decision she made, it was thinking of how she could help or what was (wrongly assumed) her responsibility to her team.

She confessed to Naruto her fake love because she believed it was her responsibility, when it was not. Naruto's feelings were their own, his promise to take Sasuke back to Konoha maybe started with her, but became his own quickly. She didn't have to lie to him and to herself in order to fix only temporally a situation that would get out of their hands anyway. Was it something awful to do? Yes. Was she wrong? Yes. Should it be excused? No. But there is a reason to her actions.

She tried to kill Sasuke because she thought she had a responsibility to him as her teammate (to stop him from descending more into darkness), to Naruto as her teammate and friends (to spare him of the hurt of being the one to kill Sasuke) and to Konoha and the shinobi world (to stop his acts, to put at end to the madness).

When she jumps to their side at war and says she has finally reach them, she means this, the fact she has a reason to stand beside them even if it's not in power or fighting skills. Her invocation is as useful as theirs, she's the best medic nin available so she needs to go with them, even if only for a second or even if only on one thing, she can still do something for them. Let it be keeping Naruto's heart beating, or giving Obito chakra to keep his Mangekyou running longer to find Sasuke, or hit Kaguya in the head so Naruto and Sasuke can seal her.

She even says it. If with her life she can help them at least a little, if she can change things to their favor at least a little, if she can heal them at least a little, she'd be satisfied with that.

⠀

⠀Isn't it amazing that the girl who wasted her Academy years in being pretty and spend years upon years trying to be accepted by society, a girl so weak and helpless, became a woman capable of helping so many people. Someone strong and reliable, top on her field, compared to the best of the kunoichis. She didn't know what she wanted in life at 12 years old (she rambled nonsense when Kakashi asked), but when she finally figured out, she didn't stop until achieving it.

And I think that's good, right there. I don't like how the story execute this concept, I don't like how certain things were portrayed, but it makes sense when you consider her core as a character.

I love her going from true zero, (just knowledge, stuff anyone could adquire with proper studying), to the top. I love that she had a bad beginning, that she was annoying and naive and ignorant, that she had so much room for growth and she did grow into it. Kishimoto's writing aside, I'll give him this: Sakura is a needed character in the plot and he gave her the necessity for being a great character. He just,,,,, well, like he said it himself, he struggled a lot with her, writing her, portraying her properly. And it'll forever show.

Let's talk about the emotional stages of team 7 during part one and how they interact with one another

Naruto

The most important thing to understand about Naruto is that Naruto isn't a good person at the start. He's not generous, selfless, sweet, kind, or mature. He's not a hero or a savior. He wasn't born with a supernatural ability to love or anything like that. He's an emotionally-stunted, attention needy, immature child. He's still in the self-centered, or egocentric, stage of deveopment which makes him quite bratty. And all of this is realistic given what he had lived through; not trying to hate on him.

I hate when the fandom portrays him as a selfless, perfect, kind etc from the start. No, he grows to become these things by the end of part one. But part one is all about Naruto's growth to see beyond himself and to start to understand other people and the problems with the system, and within himself. Naruto too is part of the problem. His desire to become hokage is for entirely self centered reasons. This is normal given Naruto's age and the abuse he's gone through, however they are still things he must overcome if he is to become the heroic person he wants to be. Naruto's immaturity is acknowledged and discussed many times, and these are gradually overcome, yet in a way that allows Naruto to still retain aspects of that childishness that are good like his sense of hope and optimism. Naruto's extended childhood works in his favor as it gives him the time to change. And the biggest factor in changing Naruto and helping him let go of his immaturity and selfishness is Sasuke. In part, because of Sasuke's self sacrificial nature. And another part because of something I'll address in Sasuke's section.

Sakura

The reaction of Sakura and the other kids towards Naruto is also normal. Sakura on team 7 represents a normal child, not emotionally stunted or especially mature. As kids do at her age she sees the world in black and white and is all about following rules and obeying authority. Since Naruto doesn't follow the rules he is a "bad kid". It's just the kind of black and white, logical thinking kids go through. She shouldn't be demonized for doing the same stuff we all probably did. And she starts to change her thinking and to try to change her attitude as soon as she is called out for it by Sasuke. Sasuke also teaches her that it's good to break rules sometimes like when he ofers his food to Naruto and Sakura follows suite.

Sasuke

It's not a coincidence that Sasuke is the catalyst for both Naruto and Sakura to change. Emotionally he is the most complex of the three. By the time he joins team 7 he has trauma, cptsd, abandonment issues, survivors guilt, trust issues, has experienced tortuture while under forced helplessness, and has severe attachment issues. Let's not forget that he's being invisibly held hostage by the knowledge that his brother will come back for him someday. And he's burdened with the knowledge that the best way for him to get stronger to face Itachi (Sasuke's own personal satan) is to kill his closest friend. Or that even without Itachi's threat Sasuke is bound by duty to kill his brother. And if all this weren't enough Sasuke carries another burden, his other goal to to restore his clan's honor. As the last Uchiha Sasuke knows that all of his actions will be used by people, fair or not, to judge his family, a fact that is constantly thrown in his face. What a lot of people take as arrogance or pride, can be seen as his devotion to his family and his desperation to live up to/uphold his family's reputation.

Sasuke is bound by a lot of invisible pressures that have forced him to grow up way too fast, losing most of his childhood in the process. However in team 7 Sasuke at least has the chance to vicariously recapture a little of his childhood through Naruto and Sakura. That's why we get to see a childish side of Sasuke on team 7. Completely suppressed before, and disappears right after, the period of time while Sasuke is on team 7 is the golden age of Sasuke's life when he gets the chance to experience a part of childhood. Sakura, and especially Naruto, give that to Sasuke. But Sasuke's childhood ends for good when he leaves.

On the other side is Sasuke's maturity. Despite what the fandom may think, Sasuke displays a lot of emotionally mature behavior. He is able to empathize with and defend Naruto right after Naruto had just attacked him, even though he stood to gain nothing from doing so. His empathy with Naruto going hungry leads him to offer Naruto food, even at the risk of his own future, he recognized Sakura's feelings of self doubt before the chunin exams and addresses it quickly and subtly. When he thinks he's about to die he encourages Naruto to pursue his own dreams and make the most of his life. He tells Naruto to save Sakura while he sacrifices his life. He doesn't think twice to run to Naruto's rescue when he hears his brother is after him etc. All these are signs of maturity that can't be denied. So the question is,

what happened?

The problem is that though Sasuke often takes on the "adult" role, he's suppressing his own needs. Naruto can carry on and act childish and get the attention he desperately needs; meanwhile Sasuke gets overlooked. Naruto has a way of constantly making himself the center of attention. And this behsvior is completely understandable. Subconsciously Naruto is broadcasting his need for help, and he often gets it. And as someone with so little maturity people expect little to nothing from him. And this gives Naruto room to grow without pressure. But everyone just expects Sasuke to act like an adult and be strong. Whenever he doesn't instantly know what to do or shows weakness he gets attacked, not by enemies, but by allies. He is constantly put on a pedestal by Naruto and others. Sasuke has been taught, and it gets reinforced over and over, that human reactions or or any signs of weakness are not to be expressed. For example, Naruto despises sasuke for showing weakness to Orochimaru. Being afraid of Orochimaru doesn't fit into Naruto's mental representation of Sasuke and he doesn't really know how to handle it, even assuming Sasuke is an imposter. And this is when he calls him a "scaredy cat", which parallels what Sasuke has said to him before. It might seem on the surface to be the same, and Naruto sees it like that at the time, but there are major differences. During the demon brothers fight Naruto had frozen up and this makes him helpless. While it's the opposite against Orochimaru. Sasuke knows he is helpless and that terrifies him. It's not just a matter of overcoming his fear of a fight, or trying to react quickly, Sasuke has to overcome his fear of death. Sasuke also said what he did after the demon brothers were defeated, not while in the middle of a fight. Of course, goading Sasuke into fighting was the right move, as it is the thing that ultimately saves them, but it also raises the pressure on Sasuke and forces him to suppress even more of his humanity around Naruto, making him ultimately more vulnerable to the things that would come.

So after facing Oro he completes the rest of the 2nd exam handicapped with the curse eating away at his Chakra, defeats an opponent with no chakra and while suppressing another attack, has to face off against a clinically insane opponent who wants to quite literally bathe in his blood, finds out his teacher has been attacked and naruto is in danger from his brother, rushes to protect Naruto but is rendered completly helpless and is tortured/ taunted to the point of falling into a comma for weeks.

By this point Naruto has grown a little. He's been forced to see more of Sasuke's humanity and his childish view of Sasuke being invulnerable have shifted. But the damage from before has been done. Naruto isn't someone Sasuke can trust. When Sasuke challenges him to fight, for Naruto its a relief to get back their normal rivalry and a chance to prove himself to Sasuke, who he still admires more than anyone. But for Sasuke its not about Naruto, he's on the verge of losing all confidence and the will to fight, and he's desperate to prove himself to himself; he's fighting for his will to live. But inconclusive results, followed by an ill informed lecture from Kakashi that asks Sasuke to pick between his family and team 7, followed by the sound four who prove (again) that Konoha isn't strong enough to protect Sasuke or to give him the teaching he needs... and Sasuke's choice now seems inevitable.

The one who lost the most by leaving was Sasuke himself. Childhood, friends, people who care, the one he had fallen in love with, the best friend.... I think it's obvious he assumed Naruto and Sakura will move on without him. Sasuke put his life on the line for them on multiple occasions because he can't bear to lose anyone again, but he still keeps them at a safe distance because he knows the danger of relationships, meaning Sasuke's two strongest instincts after the massacre are diametrically opposed and in a constant war with one another. Lost in that war is any room to value himself. And because he values himself least, he doesn't understand what he meant to them, the impact he was having on them, and how much they cared for him too. So even as he's risking his life for them, even as his words and actions are changing them, he doesn't see his own significance to them.

Add to this how they can't understand him. He's been a child with a family like Sakura, and he's been isolated and alone like Naruto, so he has the ability to understand them. But neither of them have been through anything remotely similar to Sasuke. People still argue over who had it worse, Naruto or Sasuke, but the answer is obviously Sasuke. Sasuke experienced the same isolation and lonliness Naruto did as well as a million other things Naruto didn't. Naruto and Sakura can't understand betrayal by someone completely trusted. Or the pressure of being the last of his clan. They haven't ever experinced complete and total helplessness. Even Kakashi is ignorant and naive in how he addresses the issue. But Sasuke still had a huge impact on all of them that they can't forget. But while Naruto can't understand it completely, when he fights Sasuke he sees how much pain Sasuke is in. Pain that Naruto hasn't been able to accept perviously. And more than anyone Naruto recognizes his own culpability in pushing Sasuke to the point where he'd feel like going to Orochimaru was his only option. This is the second way Sasuke helps Naruto grow. Sasuke's humaness forces Naruto to let go of his pride. After all the times Naruto's immaturity had forced Sasuke to assume the mature position and suppress his needs, now their roles are reversed. Underneath it all Sasuke has been hurting, and damaged, and needed saving too. And Naruto failed him. Naruto finally doesn't despise him for it. He is finally able to accept the human side of Sasuke while still acknowledging him. And though Naruto fails to bring Sasuke back he does save him.
