I won't hijack someone else's post to respond to these tags but yes 100%. To add to this there are a lot of medical applications for insects. You may have heard of maggot therapy for wounds and using honey on burns but there are way more and we're discovering new uses all the time:

(This was the inspiration for Shima)

My personal headcanon for the reason we don't see any Aburame women is because most of them are in the Medical Corps. There are definitely visual similarities with known members so it could even be that the two entities are influencing each other.

...And additionally that all three remaining Noble Clans work together to find medical applications for their jutsu, which the Nara dutifully record.

#ok this is wild because im fairly certain these are my tags but i cant find the post lol #my gf even said she knew it was me just from the way it reads but shrugs maybe theyre from main or im just blind #anyways i like the further evidence the post i made on this blog abt why i think the aburame would make good medical nin #was mostly just about examples in naruto and not real world possibilies #you have my permission to hijack my post on it if you want its basically just these tags but explained more thoroughly #also hi again tumblr user shinoposting its so funny that this is the second time youve screenshot my tags to make a post about them #aburame hcs

ROUND TWO

KONAN vs ABURAME SHINO

Reasons for submission under the cut

Konan

600 BILLION PAPER BOMBS

literally the only female member of the Akatsuki and goddamn does she put up with a lot

she is fierce, quiet, intelligent, and passionate

she's an incredible fighter

she can go toe-to-toe with most of the powerhouse men in the series during the arcs she was in

she has a rich backstory, and she manages to get a sense of justice and need for control to help with her motivations outside of loving Yahiko

unique, strong and beautiful style of jutsu

very intelligent

one of the few good written female characters in the series

her flower ornament is very cute

her love for Nagato and Yahiko is sweet

her blue hair rocks

possibly the only revolutionary kunoichi in the whole story

her angel motif fucks

she is beautiful

Shino

had so much potential and was built up as this super cool and mysterious and strong Genin… and then we don't get much of him after that

he was on the strongest of the Konoha genin teams but he didn't get his proper match in the Chunin Exams and he didn't get to be on the Sasuke Rescue Mission

his power set is so cracked. Chakra eating bugs could take down most opponents that don't have a tailed beast, let's be real

he's really deadpan which is enjoyable

him and the Aburame clan are all very autism-coded, all deadpan and covered up with glasses and coats for sensory issues

with the particular way Shino speaks, it's very much like someone with autism trying to interact with people that aren't neurodivergent

him being so calm and patient probably helped dealing with Kiba's boisterous personality and Hinata's anxiety and lack of self-esteem, and those three make a good team and friend group

cool fight scenes

loves bugs

he's got that autistic rizz

when asked if he was ashamed that Hinata was beating him his response was "no I don't discriminate against opponents" aka King of feminism

handsome

#this matchup is extremely evil to me in particular #my naruto wife vs my boruto husband.............. #i dont know if i can pick like i might genuinely not vote

[gumoriko]

This blog is pro-New Era Shino, if you couldn't tell. Don't be rude.

#shino is one of the few characters that didnt get handed a character assassination by boruto imo #yes hes different but it makes sense. to me

[gumoriko]

#i miss the little pfp decoration i had it worked so well with shino becoming soup #me and my friends being menaces about naruto again #mostly me though #nart convos with friends

[gumoriko]

#even more screenshots of me and my friends being menaces about naruto #[mostly me though] #personally clocks when its 3pm and hes soup are my favorites but apollos lilac my good friend lilac im killing you is really really good #nart convos with friends

wait why are so many sasuke fans saying fugaku wasn't so bad...... 🤨 didn't he make sasuke feel inferior and like a dissapointment bc itachi was his favourite child, and didn't even care enough about sasuke to attend his graduation until itachi basically pressured him into it. their mother is the one who was like "oh he's just bad at communicating" making excuses for him lol, but it doesn't change how badly he treated sasuke for years. not that samurai are a better option, but fugaku should go in the fire with all the other shitty dads lmao (ps. thanks for running this poll btw, life has been really tiring recently and this has amused me so much, I appreciate all the effort you've put in for us haha)

As we discussed, I will just be responding to the initial question of this to hopefully give some insight as to why many Sasuke lovers do actually like Fugaku.

First and foremost Sasuke doesn’t even dislike his father, Sasuke loves him!

Aside from that though, to actually delve into it, I feel that most Sasuke lovers are Uchiha lovers to begin with. People who tend to sympathize, relate to, understand, and adore Sasuke extend that to his clan which has been wronged for far longer than the Uchiha genocide. They went through decades on decades of being oppressed, and Fugaku had that weight on his shoulders to be responsible for the fate of his clan and how they were to be treated ongoing. He was under a lot of pressure and his focuses, unfortunately, did have to be diverged from Sasuke, and from Itachi in a way that Itachi actually needed. Sasuke was a kid and wasn’t included in knowing the situation their clan had been put in. He doesn’t know why his father is so incredibly busy and not solely focused on family. He’s a kid. He just doesn’t know. He wants attention and praise— which he does actually get from Fugaku, just not in the way and the intensity he desires it.

Fugaku never treated Sasuke in an abusive or even negative way, he just hadn’t given him praise in the exact way that Sasuke desired. His comparison of Sasuke to Itachi, to me, seems to be put in a way of encouraging Sasuke to grow, and alternatively sometimes telling him that it’s okay to slow down and not be like Itachi. Did this sit well with Sasuke? No, Sasuke didn’t receive that in a way that was beneficial to him, however Fugaku clearly had no malicious intent. Sasuke was a kid— a younger sibling at that— he’s going to take comparisons to his brother very personally. Nonetheless, Fugaku still praised him and gave him attention when he could, it just wasn’t well received from Sasuke (again, a clueless child to the situation at large).

Fugaku was frankly bad at communicating, and he was absolutely a little emotionally reserved. He wasn’t good at expressing his emotions, but he still clearly loved his family. He was with them when he could be, but again he had a LOT of expectations and weight on his shoulders at all times.

Yes, Fugaku gave more attention to Itachi, but he genuinely needed to. It wasn’t that Itachi was his favourite child, it’s that Itachi was (supposed to be, believed to be) a large and important role in the Uchiha coup d’état. So not only was Itachi someone he could give attention to during family time, but he was also involved in the other massive part of Fugaku’s life in this point of time. Sasuke however would see this and not understand, he doesn’t have the knowledge to be able to see why his brother is getting more attention than him.

All in all, Fugaku was burdened with a lot while his kids were both very young. It’s unfortunate, for sure, but it’s something that while looking at the big picture is understandable. Unfortunately it just wasn’t in a childs eyes. Was Fugaku the best dad in the world? Absolutely not. But is he really comparable to some of the other horrible fathers in Naruto? No, at least not in my opinion.

Additionally, I also just want to state that Fugaku taking Itachi to the war zone as a child was not canon to the manga. I believe it was a part of the Itachi Light novels.

I think this ask here also gives a nice perspective on the pro-Fugaku opinion too. I’m sure there are plenty other very good reasons I could add here too, I simply don’t have the time at the moment and this is already super long anyways LOL. Any Fugaku defenders can add to this as well with some other perspectives :)

Anyhow, I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the poll and I hope this explanation may give a bit of insight as to why many Sasuke lovers do not actually hate Fugaku.

#this but also like #even if you want to say fugaku is a bad father by reality standards [arguable] he is by far one of the best fathers we see in naruto #in my heart of hearts i know inoichi and choza and shibi are wonderful fathers based on what we see but we see like nothing of them #but fugaku is a father who we get a LOT MORE screentime with to see him interacting with his kids #in the grand scheme of things his worst crimes are the battlefield thing #WHICH in a universe like naruto where kids become ninja so young and also knowing that itachi was on an even faster track #the battlefield thing like. isnt even a bad idea #fugaku knowing his son would be exposed to bloodshed like that probably even sooner than he realized #elected to expose him to it in the safest way possible for him so when he has to confront it later [for real] he wont freeze up #and then like. being semi absent as a father and bad communication #whereas minato SEALED A DEMON FOX IN HIS NEWBORN #like if were being real here if you hate fugaku and think hes the worst father in naruto #i hope you have the same energy for naruto in boruto because their father crimes are the same #maybe the next poll should be best naruto parent or something but idk if there are even enough canon ones to warrant that #spiderfreaks rants

To clear up one thing it's said that their reincarnations have to come from Asura's/Indra's lineage, Indra's being the Uchiha, and Asura's being the Senju as well as the Uzumaki. It's not impossible that Naruto has some Senju somewhere in his bloodline but it's not required, being an Uzumaki makes him related to Asura already.

To be completely honest I'm with anon on this one, in the manga/anime the whole Indra-Asure thing is indeed referred to as a reincarnation cycle of their chakra and soul together

That's also the reason why there was such a huge gap between Hashirama-Madara and Sasuke-Naruto, their souls are meant to always reincarnate together and Madara threw that off by using the ugly huge statue (I don't remember the name of it lmao) to keep himself alive longer than he should have

And in fact we see Madara let himself die after Obito comes back from Rin's death with the Mangekyō active, and like a couple years later Sasuke and Naruto are finally born as the new Asura-Indra reincarnations

They also stated that only someone from the Uchiha and someone from the Senju clan can be reincarnations, but I guess Naruto is somehow related to the Senju through Kushina from after Mito married Hashirama? Anyway, Naruto is so full of plot holes that it makes swiss cheese jealous and for the love of my own sanity don't even let me start on the bullshit that is Edo Tensei and its bullshit rules

This does seem to fit with the story timeline and wouldn't be weird if this is the case... I just don't see it like that mostly because Naruto is not Senju, so to me it doesn't feel right.

Btw swiss cheese of plot holes is now my favorite description for Naruto! 😭🤣

#spiderfreaks rants #the timeline thing is correct though madara did delay the reincarnation cycle by extending his life #i dont have anything to add as far as how were they edo tenseid while naruto and sasuke were alive #like i feel like thats such a glaring plothole that it has to be explained somewhere but i cant think of anything

was konan submitted at all? it feels like she and kisame are the only akatsuki members to not make it to the poll

No she wasn’t :D 🥳🎉 !!

ROUND TWO

MADAME SHIJIMI vs ABURAME YOJI

Reasons for submission under the cut

Shijimi

is clearly abusing her cat

wastes Konoha taxpayer money

is a drag

Yoji

stain on the illustrious and unproblematic Aburame clan

killed Shisui

told Itachi Danzou was correct and he should follow his orders

tried to kill Itachi.

probably would have done the Uchiha massacre if Danzou had asked him to

has extremely cool overpowered bugs and probably could have killed Danzou if he wanted but instead chose to support Danzou with his whole pussy

dog of the state

dies badly

basically diet-Danzou but cursed with Aburame disease of being forgotten/unknown

#YOJI SWEEP
