uchiha shisui x reader - forever
author's note: this is my first time writing a reader insert that is a full length one-shot, so i'm still getting the hang of it. i went through thoroughly to make sure i edited any accidental references to the reader's gender out, as there were a couple in the first draft, so if i missed any at all let me know so i can edit them out immediately!
rating: teen
fandom: naruto
pairing: shisui x gender neutral reader
warnings: suggestive content, existential musings
word count: 2340
summary: you spend a stormy evening on the beach with your beloved
Plop.
From the heathery gray clouds raging above in the wind, a freezing drop of rain dribbled into your scalp. Your eyes turned up to admire the rolling landscape of the storm brewing above the raging monotone sea. Occasionally in the distance, a coil of thunder would snake through the clouds, its rumble reaching you within seconds and vibrating the very air. When a particularly strong gust struck you, your toes curled into the icy sand and your bare arms mimicked the motion of reaching for a hug; you wanted the essence of nature surrounding you to encapsulate and invade your entire being. This moment would be etched into your memory for all of your time alive. Sometimes, when the temperature of the air froze against your exposed skin in just the right way, when the scent of a stormy summer night tingled in your nose, when every single atom in your body vibrated with the excitement and purpose of being in the moment, you felt alive. Not in the sense of existential dread, no, that was way too typical in your life. You were pretty sure everyone always felt the constant pressure of that void in the back of their skull. This feeling was rare, though. It built you back up. If only for a moment, you captured the glory of existence, saw the meaning of life, whatever the hell was going to pull you out of that deep hole. And as tragic as watching a movie you know has a bleak ending, it slips through your fingers. Fleeting. Just like life itself.
At the bottom of your peak in emotion, a soft hand slipped into yours outstretched, grounding you in the shifting sands. Without Shisui there to hold you together, you thought you might fall apart, slip right in-between the grains of sand.
"I guess you were right… it is beautiful, huh?" he gently asked against your ear, muting the wind.
"It's always one of the most beautiful sights in the world," you confirmed to your boyfriend beside you, a smug hint to your tone. Hair whipping in the gusts, you turned to face him. "But it doesn't compare to you."
A tinge of rose crept up onto his cheeks, although you couldn't tell if it had been there before from the chill. His almost-black eyes met your own from behind his shaggy hair of the same color. It's a saying, that the eyes are the window to the soul. It sounded like bullshit for so long, but Shisui's, conveying pure love and adoration for you, convinced you that you'd just not been looking hard enough at everyone else.
And his smile. God, his smile. If you didn’t know any better, then from your perspective the storm had ended before it ran its course, and the sun was radiating its kind and warm light right in front of you, chasing away every chill in your bones. You couldn’t help but raise your free hand, stroking his slightly rough cheek with a whisper of your fingertips. His own grasping for the back of your neck, Shisui latched on and pulled you in for a deep, gentle kiss, his hands and lips pulsating warmth into your wind-ravaged body. The kiss was over all too soon for your liking.
"Come on. I think we've spent enough time out here. Let's go and warm back up," he suggested kindly, swiping a thumb over your icy knuckles and gently tugging you up the slope of the dune.
“I’m going to need more of where that came from, as well,” you teased while following Shisui. Your eyes turned back to face the main road of the shore town you two were staying in for the next two weeks.
The vacation from your full-time jobs — your guys' first since graduating from university a year ago — was a blissful one. You and Shisui had already spent many days on the beach while it was crowded and sunny, flying kites, splashing around in the deep waters, or building sandcastles. But on the drive here, your hand resting feather-light on his thigh as you kept the car steady, you’d lamented that the best beach days were the ones when chaos and storms roiled over the ocean.
“What? But then you can’t really do anything but stand there and look if everything there will kill you,” he’d replied with an audible pout, glancing at your focused gaze. “And how am I supposed to dunk you under the water if we’re not in it?”
You stole a glare at him in the passenger’s seat, your neck going pink at how cute his scrunched nose was, before once again focusing your gaze on the road ahead. “Yeah, yeah, idiot. That’s the whole point, though. There’s just something so captivating about seeing a storm over the sea from the shore. Like, beauty and peace in something that should be ugly and sorrowful. I like it.”
You both made it back up to the house, clothes wrinkled and hair knotted through. Using the hose at the entrance, you and Shisui took turns washing off your bare feet of sand. He offered for you to go first, and you happily obliged, wishing to change into something comfortable, order dinner, and get snuggling as soon as possible, but that was an incredibly rookie mistake. As you turned around, an unseen smirk played on your trickster boyfriend’s lips, and he pointed the hose at your swimsuit-clad back. Before you were able to go in, he landed a direct shot on you.
“Ah! Shisui! Are you kidding me?” you shrieked, jumping into the house. Through the thin wooden wall, you could hear his deep laughter at your reaction. Your face flush, you stomped to the bathroom with your outfit in hand, an oversized t-shirt, comfy pants, and fuzzy socks. As fast as you possibly could, you rinsed yourself off in the shower, washing and combing your hair, getting every bit of sweat and grime off of you and emerging feeling clean and refreshed.
When you traded places in the bathroom, you and Shisui each had the same idea, and smacked each others’ asses in unison.
“Damn it!” he gritted while peeking out from behind the bathroom door, ready to slam it. “You couldn’t let me have that one?”
“You always get me when I least expect it, ‘cause I always trust you. Case in point, the fucking water hose. Couldn’t you let me have one? Or maybe I’ll catch you off guard one day, you little shit,” you jaunted from over your shoulder, rounding the corner to the living room while you heard the shower thrum.
“My partner, they call me nothing but terrible, terrible names! How horrific!” Shisui yelled, sounding farther away than he actually was.
You just shook your head and settled down on the plush couch, flicking the television on to a streaming service, so when he came out of the shower, you two could continue watching your show. Before long, he had made his way out, wearing a comfortable-looking cotton t-shirt and sweatpants. Despite what looked like some sort of effort to dry off, his hair was still extremely damp, and clung to his forehead in strands. You couldn’t help but gawk at him a little bit, knowing his skin would be extra soft and warm to lay against when he sat down next to you. With no hesitation, that is exactly what he did, settling into the corner of the couch and opening his arms wide.
In a flash, you hooked your legs over his lap, wrapped your arms around his waist, and plopped your head right onto his chest. Ever since this morning in bed, when you had to pry yourself off of him like a bandaid off of skin, this was the only thing you could think about.
“Someone’s impatient, yeah?” he asked through a gentle laugh, bringing one arm around your shoulders and another to rest on your thighs.
Now this, this was your safe space. You closed your eyes, the only thing registering to you being Shisui’s scent and breathing. His soap, that cute sugar vanilla one that he always begged you to buy from the mall, wafted into your nose and intoxicated you. Behind that, his faint and musky natural odor mixed with the saltiness of the ocean came through. His body also radiated heat, his skin especially hot from the shower.
“It’s not often that I can lay claim to you for an entire day,” you admitted, turning so your cheek now rested on Shisui. “So I’m taking advantage of this entire vacation.”
“Hey, I know. I feel the same way. Life’s just been so busy lately. Work and all, for both of us.” He buried his nose into your own damp hair.
“Yeah. Sometimes it just feels like it doesn’t stop, and my head keeps spinning and churning out thoughts. The only place where it stops is right here.” You uncurled a hand from around him, and poked him in the chest.
“My chest is a pillow for you and you alone,” Shisui brought a hand to press your head more firmly onto him. The sound of his heartbeat became faintly audible. “Anytime you need me to protect you like this, I will be there. Don't you forget that.”
You felt like your heart could burst right out of your chest. Shisui’s declarations always stirred your emotions, even after the four years you’ve spent together. You didn’t know what it was about today, though. Perhaps you had borne your emotions to the world back on the beach and you needed a release, or maybe finally relaxing after the brutal work schedule you had for months coaxed something out of you. Your eyes began to water, a familiar tingling sensation creeping up your throat muscles to your face, making you scrunch up.
“Hey, what’s up?” Shisui asked gently, feeling the change in your expression on him. He gently grabbed your chin and turned your face to meet his own, noting how your eyes darted around. “Look at me. Are you happy-crying or sad-crying?”
You willed your eyes to still and meet his own, a grin creeping across your face. In the light of the house, you could see more of the brown within them, but Shisui’s pure feelings of love still radiated out of his irises.
“Happy-crying. I just love you so much, dumbass.”
“Okay, that’s good. I love you too, my queen. I’m gonna have to kill two birds with one stone, though,” Shisui contemplated, his eyebrows furrowing and an expression of deep thought crossing the rest of his face.
“Huh?”
“Well, I have to cheer you up. Can’t have ya crying like this,” he said, with a stroke to your cheek where a tear fell. “But you can’t keep calling me an idiot all of the time either, so I’ve gotta convince you to call me something else for once.”
“And how do you plan to do that?” you challenged, using the shoulder of your shirt to wipe your eyes.
“Like this.”
The little bastard tugged you in for a kiss and stuck his hands up your shirt, gliding his fingers gently down your sides and back. You kicked your legs, clinging onto Shisui even tighter than before.
“Mmpfh!” you shrieked against his lips. You felt Shisui smirk against your lips, running his calloused fingers back up for more of your sensitive skin while you tried to wiggle out of his grasp to no avail. You were able to break away from the kiss and shove your head back into his chest, your giggles muffled by his shirt. He was laughing right along with you at your reaction, the vibration of it in his chest comforting you.
“Okay, okay fine!” Shisui let up his teasing touch as you conceded and instead placed his palms flat on your bare back, unmoving. Breathy laughter was still interspersed with your words as you surrendered, “You’re my pretty man.”
While you were disheveled from Shisui’s attack, your stomach quivering, it was now his turn to look embarrassed. His gaze flickered around the room while you sat up straighter to get a good look at his face at an equal level. You grasped his face in your hands and planted a kiss on his lips.
“You really are. You’ve got such a nice nose, especially,” you said to him, while his gaze meandered in embarrassment. “Look at me, now.”
His gaze snapped to your eyes immediately, his mouth open just slightly. You continued complimenting Shisui, saying: “And you have these, like, beautiful eyelashes that make you look like you’re always wearing mascara. The way your hair frames your face is perfect, it gives you such a nice silhouette.”
You kept going, stroking each part of his face you spoke of, knowing you would work him up until steam was coming out of his ears and his entire face was tomato red. When you achieved your goal (quickly, mind you), you admired your work for a second and then sat back, instead opting to sit shoulder-to-shoulder with your boyfriend. Wordlessly, you clicked on the show that you’d intended on starting before, and settled in next to Shisui, wrapping your arm around his waist and settling into him with a satisfied hum. He did the same, leaning his head on your shoulder and evading eye contact.
If you could choose, you would opt to spend the rest of your days curled up like this with Shisui, chatting about anything at all, or silently drinking in the presence of each other. It was your personal haven, one of the only places in the world where you were able to relax fully and completely. You shifted further into him, relaxing every muscle in your body against his radiating heat, and you allowed your eyes to droop closed.
“So, what did you want for dinner?” he ended up asking out of nowhere as soon as your stomach violently growled.
What timing Shisui Uchiha had.

+also can you recommend techniques or kekkei genkai i’d really appreciate it
[thanks for this ask!]
I'm assuming you're the same person who asked about the OP thing as well lmao. I'd be happy to recommend some stuff!
my own kekkei genkai in my Naruto DR are really just the sharingan and shikotsumyaku, as my father was an uchiha and my mother was a kaguya. i just looked at a list of all the canon abilities and shot for the strongest, most coveted ones.
but! if you need some ideas for a kekkei genkai of your own, here are some of the ones I've come up with, in the past!
[lmao btw i wrote this list like almost two years ago don't come for me if it sounds silly, and my apologies if it's a bit short]
≿❈≾
(1) TIME-BASED ABILITIES
i always thought it'd be interesting if there was something that allowed users to manipulate space and time, exactly like how tobirama and minato were able to utilise a space-time jutsu. why not be able to do both separately? maybe you could have an ability where you could see rifts in time, allowing you to glimpse past or future events; which is especially useful for intel and sabotage.
on that note, the inspiration for this was the sharingan's izanagi, izanami, and kamui abilities.
- - -
(2) LUMINOKINESIS
i was rewatching Arcane when this came to me. i remembered one of LoL's cinematics for Wild Rift (the one with the teams on the battlefield), and thought of Lux. then i thought of Iridessa, one of the Disney fairies, and that one Tinker Bell movie where they all accidentally switched powers. and then i thought, wouldn't light manipulation be such an OP ability?
something like prismatic refraction could allow you to create illusions, project blinding beams, or even bend light to make yourself invisible. it's ideal for stealth. but at the same time, you could even use it offensively—similar to how Superman shoots fuckin' laser beams out of his eyes, or how Usagi (Sailor Venus) creates said beams of light to attack enemies.
- - -
(3) AVATAR-INSPIRED ABILITIES
i cannot stress this one enough!!! take literally any power you could from Avatar: the Last Airbender or Avatar: the Legend of Korra—and amp it up to the max! all of my abilities in my Naruto DR have been based mostly on these two shows, with the occasional inspiration from other fandoms of course, but really these two. the elemental manipulation, along with the 'specialisations' are not only fucking cool to use—they're also incredibly useful in mundane situations (in the DR, at least). I'm pretty sure I've made posts about those shenanigans in the past lmfao.
at that, consider these, if ever: metallokinesis, plasma manipulation, astral projection, geokinesis, and atmokinesis.
- - -
(4) INSPIRATION FROM OTHER FANDOMS
the ones I've listed above are honestly just my own favourite abilities, and the ones that quickly came to mind as i was writing this. but those are just a portion of the vast majority that you could find from other sources! there are countless more to consider, abilities that might not necessarily be included in the world of Naruto itself but still something very much to consider. who doesn't love a good crossover? i know i do. hell, I've even used some of my own Naruto DR abilities in my HP/GoT DR.
i really recommend parsing through other cartoons, comics, movies, and et cetera. and if not that, then at least check their wiki pages. Fandom is always your friend. sometimes, when i browse through fanfics on FFNet or AO3, i see things that i like (powers that a character has, for example, or situations that they land themselves into)—things that stick with me, which i note down for future reference. and when the time comes, i could use it for my own experiences.
≿❈≾
much love, and happy shifting ❤️❤️❤️

Digimon 02 the beginning review:
it was a fun time. I had to take Uber and the fare was rather expensive after it was all said and done. But it was worth it. The Uber driver ended up being the same person there and back! He was a gaming nerd and enjoyed anime too. Theater experience was good too. Got some yummy chocolate peanuts and even extra card packs after the movie.
Now my thoughts on the movie. I’ll be putting all spoilers under the read more.
The banter between daisuke and miyako never gets old lol
Rui sounds so dang emo telling the others it's his problem and blah blah blah
Rui does says he thinks he is the first in the sub. WHich people can play around with if he really was the first or not. I still think Rui was a chosen child that just didn't realize that other chosen existed. and the digital world wasn't aware of it because Rui never went to the digital world.
Hawkmon flocking in front of Rui was hilarious. Looked like a real bird being obnoxious.
...until hawkmon actually knocked the eyepatch off showing the creepy digimon eye!
When it shows Daisuke holding Rui's hand and assuring him to let them help... I can't help but to notice how short Rui is. Holy cow
Daisuke encouraging Rui's recklessness is sure something lol
Daisuke suggesting if they fly on Imperialdramon fast enough, the humans won't see them. Reminds me of the naruto meme at area 51 XXD “ they can’t hit us if we run fast enough”
RUi running towards lil' Rui and Ukkomon gives Magica Madoka vibes with Homura trying to stop madoka from being a magical girl.
Miyako's light tinted glasses during the computer scene. Haha “all according to keikaku!”
Hikari does indeed say homeostatsis in the japanese version! tri. is Canon folks.
"Ukkomon is a special Digimon..." Heard that one before o_o;;
In the Ukkomon and Rui meeting, Rui accidentally says Unkkomon. Unko being poop in Japanese. Sadly a funny joke lost in translation.
Some wondered if the bruises are actual physical bruises... Rui covers his head. I'd say he does get hit from time to time...
When the characters are talking about the bonds with their Digimon and having to work through conflicts, it really reminded me of part 5 when they tell Meiko the same thing. Kind of nice to get a 02 version of that.
I had to hide my face from the body horror shit. THe eye. Rui's eye. GAPING HOLE IN UKKOMON'S HEAD. Just transferring an eye like it's nothing. This isn't Naruto! That's not how it works!
I had a feeling Hikari said more of "That poor thing" about ukkomon. It feels different actually watching the movie with context than reading other reviews. Hikari could just felt all it wanted to do was make Rui happy.
When Ukkomon goes big, it sings the creepiest happy birthday. Geeeez
I saw a lot of reviews saying the characcters didn't get anything and they were just there. I think they got some nice character moments. THe back and forth about killing Ukkomon for example. It's the 02 kids and they are older now. Their issues are going to be more to the point. It was still good to see. I think the movie did a really good job with that. Despite what people think.
Just a small amount of Kenyako. It made me happy.
Miyako's Bingo!
Loved the 6 way evo. Just cool to see. Glad we got to see their evolutions.
I can't get over Takeru driving a CAR. He drives and Hikari sits up front. The other two in back while Daisuke, Ken, and Rui rode on Imperialdramon. It's just an amusing image. I can't get over it.
There are many shots of this giant digimon eye sticking out of Rui's small head. It creeps me out and they show it a lot.
THe animation for the fights are so dang good. Reviews did not overexaggerate that fact.
I may need to rewatch 02, but where do Daisuke and Ken hang out on fighter mode? I know it's on the back usually but... Also really cool how the inside of Imperialdramon looks like a command room. Really cool..
HAH THE FLIRTING REMARK. Made me smile. *sighs* even after all these years.. It's still just them.
The zoom in on Rui's face and that eye. Wny...
Even as Rui and Ukkomon talk.. the comical eye is there...
The snow fight was gorgeous and fun little moments too. Seeing the international kids all grown up is wonderful. We even see Rosa! Which I think is fantastic.
I was pretty happy with this movie. I don’t think i need a grand series like tri. To flash characters out. They’ve all had their moments in various ways.

Just out of curiosity, I watched “RRR”. My initial thoughts:
1) This is a shonen anime movie. The main characters straight up have the “lovable underdog and angsty edgelord” dynamic, it’s a shonen anime.
2) It’s a bold move to depict real life figures in a completely fictional story. On one hand, I’m not a fan of misrepresenting real people, regardless of how good the movie turns out. On the other hand, it’s kinda inspiring that the filmmakers took these real life heroes and depicted them as Captain America-like superheroes. In a way, it’s honoring their legacy, even if none of it is true.
3) You can definitely see the Quentin Tarantino influence (director mentioned he was inspired by Inglourious Basterds). The British Raj are portrayed as emasculated bullies who are no match to the gigachad main heroes. Meanwhile, Raju and Bheem are always portrayed in the most Manly way in their quest for revenge and justice. Aside from Kill Bill, that’s straight up how QT approached his revenge movies.
4) I feel like Bheem getting a white British woman as his love interest was also part of the movie’s mission to completely emasculate the British Raj. Not only is Bheem way more Manly than the British, he’s also more attractive to their own women.
5) I feel that Sita was underused. I wanted to see more from her, especially since the most we saw of her was during the finale dance sequence. But hey, this is a dudebro movie so I’m not surprised that Bheem and Raju got the most attention.
6) The way Raju and Bheem stood out against the background cast is hilarious, especially with Raju. There’ll be scenes where Raju and Bheem are with other people and they just stand out because of how handsome and ripped they are. It’s like the casting director specifically looked for the most normal-looking, just-got-pulled-off-the-street people for the extras.
7) I watched Bollywood movies before so I wasn’t that surprised by the impossible physics. That being said, I laughed my ass off at the scene where the tree falls on the British governor’s car, which sent him flying upwards. Then, during mid-flight, the governor grabbed his rifle and shot at Raju’s car. That one shot then blew off a whole wheel, which somehow flipped the car like a gust of wind hit it.
8) My favorite battle was the midway fight scene. One, the British army somehow completely folded because they were being attacked by animals. Two, the fight between Bheem and Raju straight up reminded me of Naruto and Sasuke. They even had a moment where they were about to clash in mid-air with their signature elements.

What a Naruto remake/Kai would do/be
So they released some illustrations and a video to celebrate the anime’s 20th anniversary
youtube
And it was said more was coming in the celebration
Leaning a good number of to think that they’re going to remaster or at least do a Kai version of the anime
I don't think is going to huh happen but I did want to explore what if?...
So first what would this mean?
Filler would be reduced, so all those filler arcs would be cut including those that can be argued added to the story like Kaguya’s backstory
That would cut the 720 episodes to about
88ish (Naruto) and 192ish (Shippuden) making at least 270 episodes cut (rounded down from 280 from my potential bad math)
So reducing 720 to 450 already improved the pacing and such
But then there’s the actual pacing of the episodes
Like there are episodes called “mixed” canon as in it had a decent amount of filler moments to go with canon/manga stuff
Like side characters' backstories for example and even some fights
And if that gets cuts that could reduce it by about half (exaggerating but you would be surprised how much anime filler was thrown in episodes)
For simplicity, I’ll say 300 episodes with the mixed filler and recaps and such cut
This may seem low but again rough estimate could be closer to 400 depending on what they would do
And to be safe could make it stay at 300 or make it lower when you improve the pacing
Pacing as in that almost all 2000s anime and media, in general, were slower paced compared to today
So if that pacing is sped even just to meet today's standards one episode back then could be half an episode now
For example, the bell test was 2 episodes that could easily be made into 1 episode now
Let alone the more “annoying” aspects that were in the show like the moments they repeat a “punch” or something to sell the epicness or when they pause on something or a shot too long (like when it could be 1 second but it’s 5 seconds)
There’s also the seasonal route where they do it in bunches of 12/24 episode seasons
The beginning to the end of the land of waves was 19 episodes
But that could be cut to be 12/13 having that be a “season”
Chunin exams were from around episode 20 to about 50 for the preliminary and 68 for the transition into Konoha Crush/end of the finals
If that could be reduced to 24 episodes (and if possible 12) that’s another bunch of episodes cut/reduced
Like without checking literally every episode count for arcs
Land of waves 12 episodes
Chunin exams 24 episodes
Konoha crush 12 episodes (including Naruto vs Gaara)
Tsunade arc 12 episodes
Sasuke retrieval 24 episodes
Naruto total: 84 episodes
And for Shippuden
Kazekage 12 episodes
Tenchi Bridge/Sasuke and Sai 6-12 episodes
Hidan and Kakuzu 12 episodes
Itachi (pursuit, Jiraiya, Sasuke vs Itachi) 24 episodes
Pain 12/24 episodes (depends on where you want to cut off the lines between this and Itachi's)
Five Kage 12 episodes
War 24 episodes
Ten tails and Kaguya 24 episodes
Ending 12 episodes
Shippudden Total: 138-156 episodes
So based on this at most 240 episodes
Obviously, this isn't me rewatching every episode and rereading every manga chapter to see the exact percentage of filler canon, etc
But everyone knows the filler in naruto was a problem and that it's just a common thing to skip it now so having a version that reduces it naturally without having the weird attempts the studio did to weave the filler into the canon (like the three tails arc)
As for the animation part, I've seen that they loved the updated look from the video and a whole anime looking like that would be marvelous
I agree, but I don't think original naruto and especially Shippudden are “outdated” yet
Like yes some fights like the infamous Naruto vs Pain an update could be nice but in general, the animation and art are still good
And I do understand people that don't like the updated look, it's like with Dragonball the cell-shaded look was normally for specials and such but now it's the norm
Like now it's the Boruto look but was the movie style previously
I think it's one of those we all just got to get used to it as we're never getting back to the 80s-00s look mostly just because of the workload
So should they make a Kai/remaster?
Yes just having a “definitive” version would be great
Now?
No, doesn't feel like enough time has passed, at most Naruto would get updated and not Shippudden, plus Boruto is still ongoing and would rather that conclude or reach a time skip otherwise we'll be having 2 Naruto's
Also random but I would like if it's called Naruto: Chikara / Naruto: Power to play off the filler arc that most liked
(I know Kai means updated so Kai still works)

and on the sixth day of reviewmas I, Fausto, give to thee:
6 ye olde government agents
5/5 stars best movie of the decade easily. might be the best movie of all time
4 scantily clad teenaged girls (fbi open up! meme)
the 3rd time i read the same book about lawns maybe?
2 high school animes
and a ninja book
…from a guy who still thinks about the naruto series in the year 2023
Northfork
The theme is death.
And I made the mistake of watching this movie after a mini binge of Cinama Therapy episodes, so i went from being an emotional wreck to watching the slowest drama i’ve ever witnesses and the theme is death.
maybe a better analysis would be the theme is the acceptance of death or the inevitability of death.
visually the film changes from black and white to slightly colored to fit the mood, but it’s always muted and almost unnoticeable at first. lots of interesting use of light in the shots. loved the 6 government men in their ye olde cars. the all black aesthetic that the government goons had going on was clearly an allusion to the grim reaper in a black cloak but it was also giving ye olde gangster vibes. also i really liked the ye olde cars.
at one point in the slowness my mind wandered to how good the cast was at acting as if it was the 1950s in a rural setting. and then i started mulling over cellphones and how people have changed over the past 75 years. and how if this movie were made taking place in 2023 that there would have been this sense of urgency that would have muddied the message of the inevitability of death because in the modern era people have attention spans that rival that of fruit flies. ….that’s not really getting across what i’m trying to convey.
in a modern movie about death i expect it to be about fighting death or cheating death or trying to become immortal via magic. like contrast this against the movie I Kill Giants. 95% of that movie is the little girl playing make believe in the woods to distract herself from the fact that her mother is dying of cancer. then the thing she is imagining tells her that death is inevitable and she better go home and spend time with her mother while her mom’s still alive which she does. which is so unbelievable on like a psychological level. but it’s also like, just the first two stages of grief then we skip over 3 and 4 and sneak a little 5 in there just to end it. other media with like bringing someone back from the dead is just stage three, bargaining. this movie is depression and acceptance. mostly depression though. slow depression.
the movie also has non binary rep. and a guy without hands and a blind guy for some disability rep. and an effeminate gay man. the guy without hands is also very autistic. and these characters aren’t villains. from a 2003 movie. so that was a pleasant surprise.
it was also nice to watch something where adults are the intended audience and are treated as adults. yeah yeah i’m sure you’re looking at the other stuff i review and are thinking that’s a load of bull from all the anime i review and from the fact that i still talk about naruto in the year 2023 but back when i was still with my ex i ended up watching a lot of marvel/DC movies and those films do not do that. the modern super hero movie for adults try to get you to take a man in an animal costume seriously and most people do. there’s so much “adult” media that’s just audience self inserts saving the world and the only distinction between adult super hero movies and children super hero movies is how dark the screen is and how much blood they show.

Hey! It’s been awhile since I asked a question. I know you’re already answering my other question (Reasons if not liking Sakura) but I wanted to ask another one.
What did you think about that filter episode when everyone was the opposite of their original self. I found it was funny but also telling. One thing I noticed was the Sasuke being a chick magnet. So in the original version, girls normally fond over Sasuke and show their admiration yet Sasuke isn’t impressed and doesn’t focus on them. However, in the alternate version, it’s the same. The only difference is Sasuke is enjoying the attention and returns the attention back.
Then when it comes to him liking Sakura in the alternate version, yet Sakura isn’t showing any feelings back. Her feelings are with Naruto, along with Ino. The original world, Sakura is latched to him and he doesn’t reciprocate.
Though I found it cringy and funny, I couldn’t help but think… is this telling that the real Sasuke maybe isn’t into girls? Now of course, I will be open minded, it doesn’t always mean he’s gay (though I kinda think he is. Like ace homoetrioc) (sorry if I butchered the word.) his goals are his first priorities and that’s a fact. However, it seems natural that he might not have a thing for girls. At least to me.
Yesterday, I reposted a blog talking about the episode. They gave their opinion about it and thought Sasuke might be gay. However the comments were complaining about their take. They said just because Sasuke didn’t show interest in girls doesn’t mean he’s a homosexual, and that’s true. However they refuse to believe he might not be straight and we should just accept that. They believe Naruto and Sasuke are just close friends who aren’t afraid to show affection. We’re just making everything gay. Then after reading some more, it turns out their SS fans which all made sense.
So my question to you well two questions.
1.) What do you think of that episode? Do you think I’m just over analyzing?
2.) what’s the difference between homeotriocness and two guys displaying affection
I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Also, I very much enjoy your long analysis so if it’s long and detailed, I’d read every detailed paragraph! That’s only if you want too. ❤️
Ahh!!! Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
[[Lengthy Post ahead.... Read at your Best time...]]
That Road to Ninja Movie and all the episodes related to it!!!! I don't know which episode you were talking about @larrycherry04 . Just in case, if you don't know, Episode 311 called Prologue of Road to Ninja was based on the One-Shot Manga which was drawn by Kishimoto himself.
This was drawn by Kishimoto and look how Sasuke was so into Sakura. LOL.
And then the movie Road to Ninja itself, which is where you will see all those characters with their opposite personalities. The fun part is, that movie was written by Kishimoto himself. LOL. Unlike The Last, that shitty movie, where he just gave the story concept and let someone else handle the Romance part (that explains the shittiness), Kishimoto personally created the story of this film and also designed all of the characters for the movie as well.
Then there is this another set of Episodes 427, 428 where we see TenTen's Tsukuyomi dreams in which she was forced into that Road to Ninja World. Again we see all those Konoha 9 Characters with opposite personalities (which is what you are referring to I guess). I am not going to use these episodes much for discussion because it’s all from Anime’s writing. I am just going to focus more on the Road to Ninja movie.
How is this relevant to this ask??
Because of Kishimoto's involvement.
Kishi has never written a story for any of the previous Naruto’s movies. This was his first one. So, these characters were created by him which came from his own mind. And that is why it's very important.
That doesn't mean I'm claiming this material as Canon. But it's something worth to consider and good to know the motivation of the author. If those filler episodes were not related to Kishimoto, I would've bluntly said, 'Not worthy enough to consider, Larry'... But it's not.
One thing I noticed was the Sasuke being a chick magnet. So in the original version, girls normally fond over Sasuke and show their admiration yet Sasuke isn’t impressed and doesn’t focus on them.
I Love Charasuke...... Really... Man!!! He was seen living his life to the fullest without any worries.. LOL.... A real Casanova!!!
For some reason...... I love this version of Sasuke!!!! I wonder how SakuTrash would feel if Sasuke was like this in our Narutoverse.
Though I found it cringy and funny, I couldn’t help but think… is this telling that the real Sasuke maybe isn’t into girls? Now of course, I will be open minded, it doesn’t always mean he’s gay
They said just because Sasuke didn’t show interest in girls doesn’t mean he’s a homosexual, and that’s true. However they refuse to believe he might not be straight and we should just accept that.
Let’s leave the sexuality part out of it.
Logically speaking, this whole movie was about Naruto and Sakura got caught up in an Alternate Universe where everyone of their classmates behave in the opposite way. Like Kiba hates Dogs, Shino hates Insects, Shikamaru is a Fool, Neji is an S-Class Peeking Pervert. Hinata loves to wear suggestive costume. Ino looks unfashionable, Chouji is on a diet, Sai draws ugly drawings. Kakashi behaves like a fool and Might Guy lost his youthful energy and was seen behaving like an Old man.
And Sasuke was seen portrayed as a Casanova.
Since this was written by Kishimoto himself, why did he have to make Charasuke flirt with Sakura in the movie??? Funny thing is, Sasuke came to see Sakura on his own accord. The following scenes can be interpreted in a opposite way if it happens in the real Narutoverse.
Sakura : You were never worried about me???
Sasuke : If there’s anything troubling you, Don’t you ever tell me.
Sasuke: I’ll never be on your side.
1.) What do you think of that episode? Do you think I’m just over analyzing?
No, You are not at all over analyzing.
Yes!!! Sasuke in Canon world may not be Gay (Though I really doubt it). But the fact that, He doesn’t give a damn about Sakura in real world is undeniable. Because if every character’s personality is the polar opposite of how they were in the real world, then Sasuke caring in Genjutsu world must also be opposite!!!! There’s no way I could see Kishimoto made an exception in this aspect....
So, If we throw their own logic into their faces by not bringing Sexuality into this, then..... Sasuke in real world was never interested in Sakura. That’s the fact. If they don’t accept this fact, then I deem them as some functional hypocritical idiots.
Well Canonically, Sasuke never gave 2 shits about her in Part 2, except for that scene where he caught her from falling down like a dead log. He left her to die many times and I never saw him worried about her safety. So, Kishimoto is just trolling SS deliberately in that movie by making Charasuke seek Sakura, care about her and flirting with her.
Just imagine all the above 3 pictures with Borutoverse’ Sakura in mind. It still fits. Sasuke never worried about her for a decade.... If Sakura was in trouble, she can’t even communicate him.... Sasuke was never on her side for a decade.... Geez!!!! Why can’t they understand this...!!!
2.) what’s the difference between homeroticness and two guys displaying affection. They believe Naruto and Sasuke are just close friends who aren’t afraid to show affection. We’re just making everything gay. Then after reading some more, it turns out their SS fans which all made sense.
These lines screams wrong on many levels. Not pointing you, Larry!!!!
It’s surprising that you found those SS peeps making sense... They are the most delusional people who just lack any sort of comprehensive skills in the Naruto Fandom.
What the hell does it mean by Displaying Affection anyway???? Then why the fish they couldn’t show an ounce of such affection to their wives and children???? Naruto don’t even speak to that Himawari kid... I just find it creepy, Man!!!!
Alright, to be honest... My knowledge about Sexuality topic is just minimal. So, I cannot plunge into something which I am not confident about. That’s why I never talk about that aspect in any of my posts because Love is Love and I don’t want to bring Gender aspects in it and there are many other capable writers to discuss about that aspect.
My way of shipping them is purely based on my instinct, observational skills and some analytical ability. That’s why I realized their love very late. Like towards the very end of the series. But somehow deep down I always felt ‘Something is Weird’ between these guys!!!!
So, Probably that’s what I believe Homo-eroticness must be. Some weird, palpable, suggestive, makes you uncomfortable, Blush-worthy kind of scenes which is totally out of limits when you put them under Friendship!!!! There’s no way ‘A Mere Friend’ can do these stuffs.
Again, As anyone who is following my blog for quite a while will know that I started to ship SNS only after Episode 478. Before that, I always thought them as Close Friends. Meaning, I started this series with an unopinionated, unadulterated mind without wearing any Shipping Goggles. I don’t even know how this story would pan out back then.
Even during my first watch, I always inherently felt certain scenes were ‘Weird’... Like why is this happening in this way instead it could’ve been handled in a multiple different ways??? On my Re-watch, I found more and more, after reading the Manga!!!!
So, Let’s me tell you where did I felt any of those feelings like Weird, Palpable, Suggestive, Made me uncomfortable, Blush-worthy.... And it’s just not pertaining to SNS.
HAKU REMARKING ZABUZA’S BODY AS BEAUTIFUL
“I Just didn’t want to scar your Beautiful Body”
I checked the Japanese word Haku used here and he said
Kirei = Pretty, Lovely, Beautiful
There’s no way someone can call other’s body as Beautiful and still think that it’s not weird!!! It’s just not. And Haku is not a little child of 7 or 8 who doesn’t know how to describe something. Since Haku looked Taller than Naruto, he must be very well around 14 or 15. So, it’s a clear indication of some kind of attraction from Haku’s side.
Now, don’t jump into conclusion that I am shipping them so hard or something. There is this popular Hollywood movie called Leon: The Professional where 12 year old Natalie Portman was shown having a crush on a 40 year old man. Consider this Arc as such. I AM NOT SHIPPING THEM. BUT MERELY PRESENTING THE FACTS.
A PANEL WHICH SUGGESTED A LOT
This is one where I felt mind-blowing, weird, sad and tragic.....and yet cleverness from Kishimoto!!!!
Manga is an art medium where your drawing should convey everything in a limited number of panels allocated for a week. Everything goes into the consideration, like which angle to portray the shot, which body part should we use to convey emotions, what fighting technique and many more. Sometimes you use eyes to convey emotions, sometimes lips, sometimes hands too.
So, with all these detailing goes into drawing a Manga,
What do you think this above panel represents???
A convenient angle which shows an implicit Kiss between Haku and Zabuza.
Kishi’s intention was not to make them actually kiss but to leave something ambiguous and open for our interpretation. Majority of the people who read a Manga will just skim through the contents or read only the interesting parts.... which is not wrong. But when you actually look pictures with some visual perception, you can notice these things.
Like I said earlier, Haku might have a crush on Zabuza which he never noticed or realized. But at his final moments, he wants to stay by Haku’s side by placing his hands on Haku’s cheeks and said, “If I could... I’d like to... Go to the same place as you”..... I repeat, I don’t ship them. But I can’t consider this under ‘brotherly’ or a Master-Student relationship either. It just goes way beyond everything.
Kishimoto is using Zabuza’s hands to convey his true emotions.
Now, Can you really call this as Brotherly or Friendly???? Is this how Friends behave??? Does Friends really want to go to Heaven/Hell together? or Does any Master wants to go to the same place as his student??? Do you think Kishimoto drew it by accident??? Why Kishi drew a suggestive panel at their final moments??? Because there are many things you cannot say very openly, out loud due to the harsh repercussions. But he wanted to send the message.
What message, you ask?
If Haku acted like this around another boy of his same age, people would’ve already assumed Haku might be a Homosexual boy. But due to the age difference, not many people could notice these hidden meaning and it was easily ignored. I think it was very intentional from Kishi’s side.
A boy who was attracted to the body of other man and consider him to be Precious.
That boy died protecting that man.
A panel which suggest an indirect kiss.
Finally, the man wanted to be honest and touched the boy’s cheek and want to go to the same place as that boy.... Meanwhile it was snowing.
And they died together.
The message Kishimoto wanted to convey is, just like Zabuza and Haku, Naruto and Sasuke might also have some ‘unexplainable’ feelings between them.
Haku’s single source of happiness was Zabuza. Similarly Sasuke was thinking only about the best memories he shared with Naruto before his ‘supposed’ death. So, after the massacre, Sasuke’s source of happiness was Naruto which he himself confessed in Chapter 698.
This kind of Love is not something you can say out loud in a direct manner especially between Haku and Zabuza. That’s why Kishi drew such a suggestive panel which symbolizes an implicit kiss and a warm touch between two people who stayed together and died together!!!!! From these two people Kishi draws parallel about an ‘unusual’ bond between Naruto and Sasuke in the first arc itself. Just like how Zabuza was Haku’s precious person, Naruto was Sasuke’s precious person.
I see a very high chance that Naruto and Sasuke might die like this. Everything started here. And with all these striking parallels, I won’t be surprised if they die like Zabuza and Haku.
UNUSUAL FIGHT - VoTE1
I don’t want to go too much into this panels ... Because it’s already evident... LOL...
On my first watch, I just got slightly creeped out by the above scene. What kind of Angle is this??? It was intentionally drawn to make them look like they were Kissing with Naruto sitting on top of Sasuke. LOL.
Like why Naruto is fighting in a straddling position and pulling his collar, bringing Sasuke close to his face??? Why Sasuke is spitting blood on Naruto’s face??? And with Sasuke bending his legs.... It looks more weirder.
We’ve seen Naruto fought Kiba, Neji, Gaara so far!!! Naruto was never seen fighting like this with anyone else.... Neither did Sasuke!!!! So why now???
If you want me to remove the ‘Creep’ factor from this fight and make it dudebro friendly, I would do this...
WoW!!!! Isn’t this how the fight should have been between Naruto and Sasuke???
Well, you could say, Kakashi and Obito were surrounded by people and hence they are fighting like this!!!!
Hmmmm... No!!!!
They still fight like Friends even when they are fighting in a separate dimension.
The only time they both got very personal was at this time!!!!
It doesn’t look awkward at all!!!! Kakashi was also about to stab Obito in a straddling position.
Why is it that this looks different from VoTE1 fight, I wonder???
SASUKE STARES
I’ve already explained it in many posts.
This scene is not something ‘Friendly’ or ‘Brotherly’..... No friend would do this to another friend. We know Sasuke got a stinging pain in his arm and fell down on his knees and coughed up blood just above Naruto’s head.
How did he end up straight above Naruto’s face???? Because his ‘Body moved on its own’. This is some kind of attraction. All the rain droplets pass through his face and fall upon Naruto’s face which creates a Connection.
This kind of pictorial symbolism with rain reminds me of Peter Parker and Mary Jane’s Iconic Upside Down Kiss in the Rain from Spider Man.
It’s funny that the movie came out in 2002. And this chapter came out around 2005. A manga artist has a very high chance to watch a popular comic based movie and he might have inspired from that. (I am just speculating)
You think I am making this up, don’t you??? Kishi watches many Hollywood Movies.
Where do you think Hashirama and Madara statue was inspired from?????
It was from Lord Of The Rings for sure!!! This above fact is from Naruto Manga Chapter 181 where Sasuke leaves the village that was released in 2004. And VoTE fight happens at 2005.
Lord Of The Rings - 2003
Valley of The End - Naruto - 2005
I really don’t find any difference, to be honest!!! The moment I saw the VoTE location, I instantly got reminded of LoTR movie. Similarly, Sasuke’s stare also reminded me of that scene from Spider Man.
Again, Am not saying Sasuke was going to Kiss.
What matters is the visual symbolism. The idea of the most famous kiss in the film industry was being replicated in an innocent way which leaves the seed of curiosity in everyone’s mind that ‘What’s going on here?’. Also, we saw him staring at Naruto for some time. But we don’t know when did he got up and left him, which Kishimoto intentionally left ambiguous. Meaning, He is telling us, you can assume whatever you want with this scene. This is intentionally romantic.
And that’s why this scene was most used in the Anime in Openings, Endings, Fillers because this creates a certain tension which is inevitable.
UNFINISHED SENTENCE
Again, This is another painfully intense scene which arouses some curiosity, ‘What was Sasuke going to say???’ ... It’s definitely not ‘I am Sorry’... The Japanese word Sasuke used here was, ‘Ore wa’..... And was deliberately cut short by the arrival of Rain which leaves some mystery to the viewers.
The very problem with this scene is that Friends don’t hide anything!!! They are always open with each other. Only towards people whom we have certain ‘Unexplainable’ feelings, we do this kind of Abrupt pause. Like we want to say something but we really couldn’t.
OROCHIMARU HIDEOUT
This is the scene where I felt really uncomfortable for unknown reason. Like, ‘What’s going on??? Well, Sasuke What have you become??’.
I see this as another ‘Body moved on it’s own’ thing. Like Sasuke is seeing Naruto after 3 years and somehow he wanted to stand closer to Naruto and then think about whether to kill him or not. LOL. If they were 12 year old kids, It’s absolutely fine. But then they got matured which gives off this undeniable seductive Femme Fatale vibe!!!
If I really have to remove the ‘Uncomfortable’ factor from this scene,
Just remove the ‘intense staring’.... Like they have been staring at each other for many panels.
Oh, By the way.... Friends don’t stare at each other this long!!!
Again, the above one is totally friendly even though Shikamaru was seen hugging and falling upon Naruto.
Why??
Because that’s how friends would behave. They won’t hide anything and instead they just go for a Bro hug without feeling ‘uncomfortable’....
Why Sasuke and Naruto never did a ‘Bro Hug’ so far???? Because the author himself knew it would be awkward for both the characters!!! That’s how intimate, their bond is!!!
LITTLE TOO SUGGESTIVE IN A SPAN OF 2 CHAPTERS
As we all know, Sasuke is the most sexualized character in the Naruto series. Especially in the Manga Part 2. Anime team usually sexualize Hinata.
In a span of 2 chapters, Kishi choose to illustrate him in an awkward situation and that always seems to involves men. When I was watching the Anime, I didn’t notice it, but in the Manga... it was just Blatant and Awkward!!!!
The one on the left is the Poster of Chapter 345.... And the 2 panels on the right are from Chapter 347. Sasuke was seen surrounded by Snakes in many arts. But coiled by Orochimaru’s tongue??? And that too Oro looks like he is hugging Sasuke from behind with his hands on his chest. Yeesh!!!
The other 2 panels need no explanation. Kishi could’ve easily chosen some other character to represent this Oiroke no Jutsu.... Why Sasuke, the Main Character???? Why put him under such a situation to question his Sexuality??? Am not saying Sasuke got knocked off by the beauty of Suigetsu’s naked body. But the fact that he was drawn to be put under such suggestive situation is always questionable.
And in the very next chapter, we see this!!!
“Would you back off?”
Of course, he doesn’t mind the touches when he needs help or someone tries to help him. Like we see, Pinky always tries to force herself upon him whenever she can. But Sasuke usually rejects touches when doesn’t need help. With the sole exception being Ino. LOL. That’s why Sakura fans hate Ino.
Funny thing, Sasuke totally didn’t mind when Naruto occupied his space and Accidentally kissed him...
Larry, you asked me whether Sasuke is Gay or not in your first question??? And again, I am telling you I am not a suitable person to answer this. But, I didn’t even bring Naruto into the picture... Atleast in this section.... But look!! How many suggestive scenes Sasuke was put through which involved only men!!! And how he is particular about rejecting women’s advances. This is another reason why people think Sasuke might be Gay. Added to that, His portrayal as a Casanova in Road to Ninja adds another point to their assumption.
And if I bring Naruto into the picture, the entire context changes. For example, the above panel happens in Chapter 7. Whereas in Chapter 3, Naruto totally came close to Sasuke and ‘Accidentally’ kissed him. The Kiss is not something to be considered very seriously. But the reaction which followed after that... is what matters. He could’ve pushed Naruto just like Sakura or beaten him into a pulp. Instead he just gave an empty threat, “Naruto, I’ll Kill You”.... And that very same kiss was the most prominent panel in Sasuke’s memories just before his death. I am not saying he enjoyed the Kiss... But he didn’t hate that Incident either.
Well, this is just one instance. When you factor in all the above Homoerotic scenes I mentioned above, you will get the picture.
Somehow, SS fans conveniently forget all this and claim nonsensical Headcanons!! Well, when did they ever read the material properly???
ALMOST A NAKED DOLL
If there is one panel/scene that always made me blush and question, ‘WHY?’, then that is this,
What the Hell is this, Man????
I don’t know why this has to happen in this way????
I understand Madara wanted to join the powers of Senju and Uchiha to achieve greatness. There are lot of ways, I could see this happening...
How about asking Hashirama to marry an Uchiha girl???? Alliance can become strong through Marriages in those days. And the baby born to them might have become powerful someday, who knows!!!???? This is one of the genuine way to make it happen.
Or How about creating an Hashirama doll with some Dress on??? I seriously can’t understand this logic.
Kishimoto could have drawn this panel with some dress and it would’ve looked absolutely normal. When Obito was showing this lifeless Hashirama doll to Kabuto, it felt ‘ Slightly Weird’. But the moment I saw the following scene, I got totally knocked flat!!!!! LOL
So, this Madara dude created this naked doll and lived alone with it for 60 years..... And what the hell is that Black Rod anyway??? Why can’t it pop out from Hashirama’s chest or hands or palms???? Why is it popping out from his stomach which looks....ummm... I am not going to say!!! LOLL.....
There’s no way I can imagine this relationship is ‘normal’..... It’s totally abnormal, obsessive and absolutely hilarious at the same time.
Imagine if Sasuke did this with Itachi .....Just for a moment... How creepy would you feel???? And they pull this reincarnated brothers of ‘Ashura’ and ‘Indra’ and shit.... My Ass.... There is no way a brother would do these creepy stuffs with his sibling.... Man!!! LOL....
If my sibling did something shady as fuck like this, I would run away and put her in the hospital.
However, if a friend is doing some crazy stuffs like this.... which means that ‘Friend’ has already stepped out of the limits of friendship.
TATTOO ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CHEST
LOLLOLL.... Do I have to explain anything???
All these... Madara flaunting his boyfriend’s tattoo moments were just Blush-worthy!!!! And on my first watch, I don’t even know why I was blushing.... It was just inherent. But as I progressed through the series, I finally understood why. And I asked couple of people about it... like whether this is a normal scene or am I just over thinking it!!!!
Many people felt the same way as me....
Again, this bastard Kishimoto was always sinister throughout the Manga. He totally could’ve made Madara do this....
Look at Danzo’s arms.... The same Hashirama’s face. Why didn’t Madara do something like this???? If that face was in Madara’s arms, there would’ve have been nothing to feel ‘Weird’ about it... Yes I know, Hashirama stabbed in Madara’s heart and he used Hashi’s cells to patch it up.
But the point is, Madara was flashing Hashi’s face to all the Kages before we even get to know how Madara obtained Hashi’s cells in the first place. He just popped out in the Battlefield and started to do this crazy things... Which totally made me go, ‘Woah!!!! What’s going on???’.... OOF!!!!
And Madara did something else that totally took me from Level-Blush to Level-Ship.
“I just wanted to show you all Hashirama’s face”
God!!!! ROFL.... This is just crazy. At this point I didn’t know anything about Hashirama but the seeds of Shipping was already laid here and when I saw their flashback I officially started to ship them.
Madara is just an Open, Intense and a crazy IDGAF person who doesn’t feel shy to show off Hashi’s face to the public.
NOW I GO SHIRTLESS BEFORE AN ENTIRE ARMY
Ummm... I find this to be weird, awkward and creepy as fuck. With Hashirama kneeling, Madara being shirtless with Hashi’s face on his chest, strangling Hashi and absorbing his Senjutsu Chakra....
Alright... I just want to leave it here.
And this is Madara showing the Entire world that he has Hashirama.... standing in a seductive pose!!!!
Do you really want me to consider this as an ‘Affection between Friends’???...
TOTALLY VULNERABLE AND UNNECCESSARY
Does it look ‘Brotherly’ or ‘Friendly’??? ....
It looks like two boys who fought until they cannot even move an inch were about to rest on each other’s shoulder for comfort. And their faces are really close to each other... Plus they are panting next to each other’s faces. LOL.
But why ‘Comfort’ ???? Resting on each other for comfort was something that always belongs to ‘Romantic’ trope, wasn’t it????
The above picture is where I felt the seed of Realization that may be these guys are not just Friends after all. The visual imagery totally projected them as ‘Lovers’... not ‘Friends’. And by the end of that episode, I could no longer see them as Friends.
Because it looks so intimate.
Let me show you how a Friend would fall upon his close friend.
This kind of Falling upon another is usually used only when someone is dying on another. The above one looks utterly shocking and devastating for us viewers just like how Nagato looks here. Because we never knew How Yahiko died and on knowing the reason now, it just looks hauntingly terrible.
But anyways, I showed you the difference...
That panel of Naruto and Sasuke looks vulnerable and intimate but totally unnecessary whereas the one with Yahiko and Nagato looked painful and haunting.
UNCONVENTIONAL ANGLE, AGAIN!!!
Like I said before, Manga is an Visual and Art media where you perceive everything through your eyes. Unlike TV series or Movies, you don’t have sound effects or music to convey the mood of the atmosphere. And Manga artist always pay extra attention when using Angles, Background and Expressions.
This panel is totally normal. Nothing to explain or think a lot about.
Whereas,
This panel looks totally different, considering the Angle... Isn’t it almost similar to Zabuza and Haku’s dying panel??? Well, not exactly similar.... Sasuke’s face seems to be touching Naruto’s face with a very vulnerable expression...
Of Course nobody is making any physical contact here. But This Angle is totally unnecessary which could’ve been drawn in many different ways.
SEXY JUTSU - VARIANT
Part 2 of Naruto Manga starts at Chapter 245. We notice Naruto had grown up and become strong. There is this long held suspense that Naruto had developed a new Perverted Ninjutsu which he was about to show off to Konohamaru.
But Sakura punched Naruto before we even get to see what it was.
When Konohamaru made the Sexy-Jutsu with Sasuke and Sai.... Naruto acted disgusted!!!! Ummm.. Well.... Okay.
Again Naruto does this Harem no Jutsu which we is callback to Episode 2 when Naruto does this to knock off Ebisu Sensei.
Now finally we are getting that much teased Perverted Ninjutsu which Naruto boasted in Chapter 245
LOL. At first, I find it very funny and moved on!!!! Just while reading the manga, I realized,
Why Naruto got disgusted when Konohamaru did the same Jutsu??
Why were girls in Harem no Jutsu looks very similar to each other with Whiskers on their cheeks???
But when it comes to Boy version, everyone looks very creative and distinct without any whiskers???
I don’t know whether this qualify under Homo-eroticness or not. But it’s an undeniable fact that Naruto researched a lot of Erotic magazines related to Men to come up with such a Jutsu. And he practiced it a lot more than Rasengan..... LOLLLL......
But there is a catch......
Naruto, a boy of 15 years, felt boring after reading Jiraiya’s popular smut novel Icha Icha Tactics. I wonder, a boy of his age must be very horny and interested in such stuffs, isn’t it??? Usually that’s the age their hormones boil a lot.
Food for thought!!!
AFFECTION BETWEEN FRIENDS
Well, What is affection by the way????
Caring someone genuinely. That’s all. Yes, It also borders on romantic love as well. But Friendly Affection is very different.
Another best example of Friendship is Kakashi and Obito.
Obito evolved his Sharingan for Kakashi.
He started this entire moon plan for Rin and Kakashi.
He gave his Sharingan to Kakashi when he thought he was going to die.
Obito never ever tried to retrieve his eyes back even though it would enable him greater powers like, Susanoo, Kamui at a great speed.
Obito treasured both of his teammates like his own family.
Fun Fact: Even during his sleep he murmurs Rin’s name as well as Bakakashi’s name (Baka means ‘Idiot’) ... LOL
And yet I never felt Obito and Kakashi’s bond as weird or unusual. They were just being themselves. We could clearly distinguish what kind of love Obito had for Rin and what kind of love he had for Kakashi.
Nonetheless...
Why do I feel Sasuke and Madara evolving their Sharingan is very different from Obito evolving his Sharingan for Kakashi???
That’s because.... Obito was just a lovely boy who treasures friendship deeply. With the way, his flashback was shown, That Bridge of Kannabi was his first mission and he was facing his first on-field Battle and he was not shown to have any emotional Trauma in his life. He saw Kakashi lost his eyes in order to save him and then his Sharingan popped out. Good!!! After that when Rin was killed, Obito evolved his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Whereas, Sasuke has went through a big Trauma in his life and he awakened his Sharingan but he wasn’t aware of it. He reawakened it when trying to protect Naruto. After that he had a chance to evolve for Sakura when she was pinned by Gaara with his sand. But he didn’t. Instead he evolved his 3rd Tomoe when he decided to cut his bond from Naruto. How is his ‘supposed love of his life’ in danger couldn’t evoke anything in him whereas breaking up with ‘a mere friend’ could evoke such a strong feelings???? Let’s leave that..... How can Sasuke decide that killing Naruto will fetch him Mangekyo but not Sakura, ‘his supposed love of his life’????
Let’s look at Madara. He lost 3 brothers so far. But he couldn’t evolve his Sharingan for them whereas ‘severing his bond’ with a boy whom he just met for a month could evolve his Sharingan for the first time!!!!! And then rest is the history.
The thing is Sasuke & Madara had many chances to evolve their Sharingan and yet they could evolve only for a selected people. Whereas Obito showed his love for both of his team mates and evolved his eyes for both of them.
These are called Affection between two friends.
Now, how is this different from the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke???
Just Scroll above and look at the scenes between Naruto and Sasuke... how it is different from the bond between Obito and Kakashi.
There is no Obsession, no Repressed Feelings, no question of ‘What am I to you?’, no Unusual Body Touches, no Spitting Blood on other’s face, no Rain Water passing through one’s face and falls upon the other’s face, no Longing Stares and for fuck’s sake.... there is no confession at every time they meet alone!!!!
Naruto and Sasuke were alone during their battle with Haku - “I hated you... My Body moved on it’s own.... Don’t you die” - A confession.
They were alone during VoTE1 - “To me, you’ve become my closest friend” - A Confession.
Under the Bridge, inside Psychic Plane - “You are my Goal. I wanted to be cool and strong like you”. - A confession.
VoTE2 - Chapter 698 is entirely a confession....
What the fuck is this?????
Why confess if they see each other as Brothers or Friends???? Kakashi and Obito had never confessed that they have become friends... It just happened on it’s own.
Why is it that when it comes to Naruto and Sasuke, Hashirama and Madara, to an extent Haku and Zabuza (Even though I don’t ship them)..... Many of those Romantic tropes have been played between them???
Or let me put it this way, Why is it that the relationship between Obito and Kakashi felt neat, direct and no-weird??? Whereas the relationship between Hashirama and Madara felt unusual, intense, obsessive and sometimes uneasy???
It’s because Hashi and Madara were never written to be friends or brothers.
[[Disclaimer: I used the word ‘Creeped out’, ‘uneasy’ a lot throughout this post. Don’t mistake me that I got creeped out because such an intense scene was happening between two guys. It’s quite the opposite. If only those ‘creepy’ scenes happened between a boy and a girl.... I would have freaked out and stopped watching it. Because I watched this series under the assumption that it’s an anime that targets 12 year old kids. If only Hashirama was a girl and Madara flashed Hashi’s face like a trophy...it would be much more horrible ]]
Anyways, to conclude this super-lengthy post...
I am totally not the right person to say whether Sasuke is Gay or not. But with the way he was written, Sasuke definitely has certain child-like ‘attraction’ on Naruto, I mean, Sasuke liked Naruto’s presence and narratively he was the most sexualized character in Naruto Series.
We really need only two brain cells to realize ‘Why does the most Sexualized character in Naruto series always ends up being in an awkward situation which involves only Men and especially he has certain Obsession & Weakness towards Naruto?’
Sasuke may not be Gay... He may very well be an asexual or pan-sexual or demi-sexual. But he isn’t Straight either. He was never interested nor obsessed with any girl. Added to that, his portrayal as a Casanova in Road to Ninja, I am very positive that he is not Straight.
When 2 people of same Gender show their love without hiding any feelings, without obsessing over the other, then that is called just Affection.
When 2 friends of same Gender are ‘attracted’ (non-sexually or sexually) and at the same time ‘Obsessed’ with each other with some crazy amount of repressed feelings, which makes you wonder, ‘Wait!!!! What’s going on?’ then that is called Homo-Eroticism...

2. favorite fic of the year
How could you make me choose?! I don't wanna play favorites between the lovely people on tumblr, so I'll link some older ones. You might not have read them yet, and some of them are pretty old, but please give them a shot!

Or: How one Uzumaki Naruto convinced every single member of his significant other's clan to adopt him. Or maybe he was the one to adopt them. No one can really tell.

It's late and, well… I've got a date with my number one girl tomorrow."/ In which a sixteen-year-old Konohamaru spends the day with his young cousin, Mirai. After all, who else could his number one girl be? - One-shot. Focuses on family fluff. Some implied pairings present.
The Recessive Gene by the point. For Hinata and Naruto, it doesn't matter if Boruto and Himawari have blue eyes. For the Hyuga, it is another matter altogether. NaruHina one-shot.
A Way With Words by NaniMok. Minato stumbles upon a gloomy Hyuga and decides to strike a conversation with her. Naruhina based Oneshot.
Scars by Awkward Inc. "It's not fair." She whispered, Hinata's eyes never leaving his hands. They were so ridiculously soft, not a single rough spot to the touch nor visible to the eye.
Close Proximities by Camomile Tea. She found out that Naruto wasn't quite familiar with the term 'personal space'. /NH, fluff./
Trip the Light Fantastic by firefly. Being forced to choose between remedial dance lessons and probation is one thing, but it's another thing altogether when your dance partner is someone you can't stand. Neji. Ino. Crackfic.
Bumpy Rumpy Tumpty by Maimaktes. Sai did not stop at reading Icha-Icha. He annotated it. He did research on it. He drew theories out of it. When he started using said theories to psychoanalyze people, Yamanaka Ino knew she had to step in, in order to avoid a bloodbath. Gen, InoSai-ish.
For Every Season by Shawny Wong. It started in the spring with laughter. It grew in the summer under her touch. By the time it was winter, Naruto finally figured it out. NaruHina. Oneshot.

HALLOKNEE
Manager!Seijoh
a/n: a halloween special with our boys and the mess it is
summary: lets just say,, things get weird during halloween
okay so first of
halloween isnt a favorite holiday of most of the boys
like they all ltr are towers and skyscrapers but these kids are absolutely terrified of it all
but you just really like the holiday bc of yanno, candy, scary stuff, and omg costumes!
so you were basically very hyped and excited about it and you were excitedly humming to yourself as the date grew closer
the boys were confused as to why you were actually happy and in a good mood but they didnt complain bc they love seeing you happy
the flowery aura makes them heart eyes
HEART GOES DOKIDOKI
oikawa ran over and he stood behind you as you were distractedly humming to your clipboard
‘watcha doing, y/n-chan?’
he whispered to your ear
normally, you would shriek or flinch but you didnt and instead, turned and flashed him a grin
‘checking our schedule! i have a surprise for you all and i want to make sure theres nothing happening to stop it from happening!’
the boys grimaced and held a hand to their heart at your joy and they didnt even question what was going on or why you were so excited
all they know is you were happy
lmao oikawa got the hardest shot to it
he was front seat and his eyes widened and he froze
then he pulled you to his chest and nuzzled his face into your neck
‘aawwww~~!!!! youre so cute y/n-chan!!’
these idiots are so whipped and simp for you so hard that they completely forgot everything
your happiness continued for another week and my god that was probably the best week of their life bc you were just fluttering and giggling and skfjdslkjfdlflfkjs
to be fair though, you mentioned halloween being close and you were looking forward to a family night of watching scary movies in tv and duh these boys were already arguing with each other on who would protect you
‘I WANNA SIT NEXT TO Y/N-CHAN!’
‘WHY?! SO YOU CAN HAVE AN EXCUSE TO HOLD HER?! YOURE A PERVERT SHITTYKAWA!’
‘AS IF YOURE NOT ANY BETTER IWAIZUMI!’
‘HANAMAKI STAY OUT OF THIS!’
ltr its just a big warcry between the third years while the second and first years already were getting head pats from you for being brave boys and were comfy right next to you
‘my boys are so cute~’
ITS A LOVE SHOT! NAAA NANANANANANANAANANAAAAAA
by then, the surprise was getting closer and you were already jumping in your toes
the night before, you texted the group chat to meet you at the school by 8 pm tomorrow
they all sent replies saying okay with no questions
‘okay love you y/n-chan! <3′
‘got it! good night!’
‘sweet dreams darling!’
at around 7:30, you were standing by the school bus since coach mizoguchi omg bless his heart was going to drive you all
the boys were all dressed in warm clothing and my gosh they all looked like models what the heck
we’re just going to ignore and forget that hideous infamous oikawa outfit
but you didnt focus on that and instead waved at them happily
‘you guys!’
oikawa jumped joyfully at your voice before naruto running over to you and scooping you in his arms
‘y/n-chan!’
he shouted and you didnt mind being twirled around since you were giggling and laughing
after iwa punched his head, oikawa had to let you down and they continued bickering so you took this chance to go over to the others by the side
‘are you all excited?’
you asked and they smiled softly
kunimi ruffled your hair and you grabbed his hand
‘it’s really sweet you planned something for us, y/n’
watari reached over to pat your head and you wholeheartedly accepted the affection
‘oi, just tell us’
kyotani grumbled but you cutely smiled and held a peace sign
‘nooo~~!’
you checked your watch and you jumped
‘oh my! we need to hurry on the bus now!’
you herded everyone to sit in their seats and oikawa raised an eyebrow at the driver
‘oh? why is-’
‘your dear manager wanted to have a bonding exercise for the team. how could we refuse? oh, coach irihata said to make sure you know how to breathe and calm down’
the last sentence made question marks appear on everyone’s heads but you waved it off
‘oh come on, mizoguchi-san! dont ruin the surprise!’
you whined from your seat and the elder caught your eye at the rearview
‘just making sure to warn them, especially oikawa’
‘me?’
but he went unanswered
the team gave up trying to ask you bc you would just mischieviously smile and shake your head cutely
‘nope~! not tellingggg~!’
but oh my they were answered
mizoguchi dropped everyone off in front of a building where there was also other people at
owo the people just simply stared bc omg like 12 boys? thats freaking great and i have finally lived and can die peacefully now
the team blinked as they got off the shuttle bus and they were so confused that you waved mizoguchi off to make sure the boys wouldn’t run back to the bus if they figure it out
ofc our ever smart baby kunimi was the first to figure it out and his mouth opened
‘why,,, do you hate us, y/n-chan?’
slowly the light bulbs turned on in everyone’s heads and they all had the same shocked look
DKFLSJDKFJLDKFLJ LIKE IN OHSHC WHEN THEY FIGURED OUT HARUHI’S A GIRL OMG I MISS THAT SHOW
‘nope! im going home!’
kindaichi started to walk but you hurriedly grabbed his arm
‘nooo yuu-kun!!! noo!! please stay!! i worked so hard!!!’
you looked up with your puppy dog eyes and kindaichi scrunched his face up
no no no fight it kindaichi
but ofc hes weak to you so he sighed and went back with the group
‘oi, are you insane or what?’
kyotani, despite his tough facade, wasnt exactly the greatest with any jumpscares in movies so having a jumpscare in real life wouldn’t exaclty be,,,, not violent
but you trust he can handle it and leave the place without a charge for assault
it was clear the others were already regretting it and you got sad bc you did work hard on getting a reservation since this haunted house was the most haunted in this part of japan
your figure in front of them made them tear their eyes away from the scary windows which they swore had someone staring at them
‘come on, you guys! we’ll have fun! i promise! its not that scary!’
you assured but they still didnt look convinced
‘you know, i just,,, i wanted everyone to,, bond and,,, have fun,,,,,, and because halloween is my favorite holiday,, i thought i could share it with you all. but im sorry that i was selfish and,,,, did it even though you guys dont like it’
not at y/n being totally manipulative and using their affections and attraction to her to help her case
your downcast expression and sad eyes snapped them out of it and they just sucked it up and they all shared a look that practically meant
‘suck it up, and make sure y/n is having fun. forget about us, its her time right now’
this led to you guys standing in front of the door guy and he cracked up at the sight of this cute little girl bouncing in her shoes with a group of guys who looked pale and nauseous
‘reservation name?’
‘seijoh!’
you exclaimed and he looked in the list before nodding
‘okay. so first, the rope is what guides you all. make sure, whatever you do, never lose grip on it bc you might get lost. keep in mind, this is an actual abandoned hospital and is known to actually be haunted so unless you want to go ghost-hunting and meet unknown people or spirits, dont stray off’
that warning should’ve scared you like the boys but you just agreed with a bright grin
‘yep!’
the doorguy chuckled before reaching into the box beside him
ngl oikawa was already so scared that he flinched, not knowing what was inside of it
‘a flashlight to help you guide yourselves’
you held it tight and yahaba was already holding on to your jacket sleeve
‘also, phones in the bin, please’
‘hah?!’
iwaizumi started but you placed a hand on his chest
‘its to make sure no one films anything and ruins the surprise’
you assured and he stopped but continued glaring
everyone hesitantly placed their phones into the bin where they saw it being locked into a locker and the key was given to you
‘you can get it back when you exit so dont worry’
you nodded and the team rolled their eyes but nodded anyways
brats
‘all set? okay! go on in! happy hunting!’
omg you were slightly regretting it already
kyotani refused to not be away from you so he was holding your hand while yahaba remained clutching you
the third years wanted to appear all tough so they took the lead but oikawa was screeching and screaming at the littlest things which caused makki to scream and mattsun to also scream and then iwa and everyone else
it was like a screaming train
you even heard kyo gasp multiple times and you tightened your grip on his hand to assure him he was okay and you were right there
everything was going smoothly excused the screaming and everyone was actually having a little bit of fun since it was funny watching everyone scream at the littlest things
‘NOOO!!!!!!’
‘WAAAAHHHH!!!!!!’
the many rooms had the actors and dear god they should be emmy winning by how they just stared at you all and still sent shivers down your spines
then the unthinkable happened
the flashlight that iwaizumi was holding started to flicker and eventually died, leaving you all stranded in the pitch-dark
there wasnt even any light above you so everything was just black
everyone stopped, your breathing being paused and no one made a sound
‘RAAAA!’
someone from beside you shouted in your ear and you screamed so loudly and in instinct, everyone bolted forward with no direction on where to go
kunimi and kindaichi were holding each others hands and ran also dragging along watari since he was holding kunimi’s sleeve and also yahaba and you and kyo
‘IWA-CHAN!!!’
oikawa instinctively shouted and they all held on to each other
mattsun expected to catch ahold of watari’s hoodie since he was behind him but there was nothing but air
‘uh, you guys?’
he wished and prayed and hoped your voice would answer back but there was silence
‘oi! l/n y/n!’
he shouted and makki trembled in fear
‘iwaizumi? oikawa?’
‘h-huh!’
iwaizumi grunted and my goodness was this really happening
everything was going too smoothly that something bad happening shouldve been seen from the get-go!
the 4 third years were thankfully with each other since they were already huddled up at the front but their kouhais were nowhere near them
‘iwa-chan! what do we do!’
oikawa cried and iwaizumi hit him to keep him quiet
‘shut up shittykawa!’
‘oi! stop fighting and think about this!’
mattsun quieted them down into shaking forms
‘the team is gone. theyre somewhere in this hospital and there’s a chance theyve strayed off the path’
makki shakily breathed
‘so what should we do?’
iwaizumi bit his lip to think of a plan
‘should we just go around and shout and scream for them?’
oikawa suggested but makki turned it down
‘no. that would ruin it for everyone else. we’re not the only ones in here’
oikawa blanched
‘i dont care about the other people! who knows what happened to y/n! i give no fck about strangers when she could be lost somewhere in this big ass hospital!’
they were stumped with no solutions so they just agreed to iwa’s suggestion
‘lets just hurry and get this over with and meet the people outside and get their help’
‘or! we can ask the staff in here, the actors, to help us! this is an accident’
‘you stupid or dumb? you think they would help us? its an us problem, not theirs, so theyre not going to abandon their post and look for them’
ltr maybe its the panic thats making them all crazy but they just settledon hurrying up and finishing the maze so they could get help
but the moment they turned to what seems to be a corner, they already managed to get themselves lost
iwaizumi felt around for the familiar texture of the rope which is supposed to be at his right but in the end, his hand reached nothing
‘fck!’
he shouted and scared the other 3
‘WHAT?!’
makki yelled
‘the rope. the rope’s not here anymore’
silence
then oikawa sobbed
‘oh my god im going to die’
he whimpered and makki sniffled
‘i wanna go home’
mattsun and iwa were the only at least stable ones and they finally resigned to defeat and grabbed their friends and walked to nowhere
on to your side!!
you and the others finally stopped running but the beating of your hearts still pumped at a fast speed
‘are we safe now?!’
kindaichi shouted and there was a chorus of confusion amongst the others
‘iwa-san?’
you checked and usually he would grunt but there was just silence
it was quiet and the familiar voice of oikawa was nowhere in sight
‘i dont know about you guys but my oikawa sensors just shut off’
yahaba pointed out and you gasped
‘where are they?’
kyotani refused to let go so you felt around with your left hand for the rope
to your relief, it was still there but the feeling of the missing boys outweighed it and made your anxiety levels spike up
‘should we call them? lets call them’
yahaba started but kyotani bonked his head
‘baka. they took our phones earlier’
the reminder of the confiscated form of communication meant that there was no other way you could contact the others
panic bubbled over kindaichi watari and yahaba while you kunimi and kyotani were busy thinking of something
‘i think theyve strayed off. if they didn’t, they wouldve heard us from up there’
kunimi mumbled
‘but where else could they have gone to?’
you asked and kyotani huffed beside you
‘we cant see anything. hell, i cant even see you. obviously theres probably a hallway they ran down to without even knowing they went there’
‘so youre saying theyre lost? without any way to contact us? what do we do?’
you whimpered, finally realizing and the idea of the others being gone settling in
‘this is all my fault. i shouldnt have dragged you here. i made a mistake-’
‘hey, dont freak out. im right here’
even though you couldnt see him, kenta maneuvered his way to cup your face and you felt his forehead press against yours and his nose nuzzling your cheek
the smell of cherry blossoms and vanilla with the slightest hint of sandalwood
kyotani’s scent comforted you and you were able to calm down
‘we’ll figure this out. its okay, you got me’
he whispered and you nodded
‘youre right here. we’ll be okay, okay?’
you giggled a little bit at the repitition of the word but smiled when he pulled you close to his chest
ugh i mightve already written a kyo route but that doesnt stop me from putting in kyo moments :”)
the other 4 were figuring out a plan that was eerily similar to the 3rd years
‘lets just finish this and ask the staff for help later’
they all agreed to kunimi’s idea and hurriedly gripped the rope to start going back to the path
you were in between kindaichi and kyotani with the former in front and the latter behind you
‘im right here. you got this’
kyotani would occasionally whisper and you were so grateful to have someone to be there
then the lights flickered and your eyes caught sight of something down the hallway to your left and you noticed a shadow
a shadow of a tall figure that was kinda familiar
‘y/n-chan~’
you flinched and the voice of your blocker filled your ears
‘mattsun-san?’
you were too focused on the voice to hear the others questions of what was happening
‘over here, y/n-chan~’
there it was again
‘mattsun-san!’
you shouted and bolted to the hallway where you were sure the voice was at and you were ignoring the shouts of the others and kyotani hurriedly ran after you
‘mattsun-san!’
you shouted again and you ended up at the hallway, with the lights still flickering but there was no one
kyotani panted as he caught up to you before snatching your hand
‘oi! dont run off like that!’
it seems the others were too scared to let go of the rope that they were fine if kyotani went after you bc he was strong so he could protect you both if needed
right?
kyotani is a bark bark woof woof boy not a priest
you felt his warm hand grip your again as if to signal that you werent running off alone again
‘i heard him i swea-’
‘to your left, y/n-chan~’
ok ngl im getting chills writing this
the flickering lights allowed you to see the shadow again and yep there it was
it was at the end of the hallway to your left and once you turned and saw it, it ran to the right
‘mattsun-san! wait!’
as you were going to run, kyotani refused to let you go
he placed strong hands to your shoulders and you looked up at him, your eyes manic
‘listen to me, y/n. youre hearing things’
he firmly said
‘i dont hear matsukawa or anyone’
you started breathing heavily, the air seemingly getting colder and thinner
‘you dont understand! he was right there! his shadow-!’
‘let her play a game, boy!’
matsukawa’s voice this time took a harsh tone and even kyotani jumped, holding you to his chest protectively
‘oi! matsukawa! its not funny anymore!’
your eyes looked over kyo’s shoulder and you saw the shadow again from behind him
‘please trust me, kyo! hm?’
you begged and he sighed
‘im holding on to you. im not letting you go again’
this wouldve been romantic if you werent in an actual paranormal story
you chased after the ghost and it would occasionally whisper in your ear to keep your attention until you ran into a pitch-black hallway
‘what do we do now, y/n?’
kyo whispered and you trembled
‘mattsun-san!’
you weakly cried, knowing there was a strong possibility he wouldnt answer back
but a loud screech from the far right brought hope into you
‘Y/N-CHAN!’
is that-
‘oikawa-san?!’
you shrieked and there was a trample of footsteps running over to you and naturally, kyotani pulled you behind him
then a hand made you shriek
‘relax. its just me, y/n-chan’
mattsun’s voice sounded clearer this time since he was right beside you and you hugged him
‘come on. everyone hold hands so that no one will get lost. we’ll take about this later’
iwa commanded and as the true leader of the gang, everyone followed his lead
there was a red sign with the most amazing word on top of it
‘EXIT’
it looked like a door that was only meant for staff but at this point, you all were desperate to just leave
as you reached the handle, the voice came back
‘aw~ leaving so soon?’
you turned around, halting mattsun and kyotani as they held your hands and felt you stop
‘show yourself. i know you’re not mattsun-san so stop using his voice’
you demanded and you turned, feeling a chilly air rush behind you
‘boo~’
it whispered to your ear and you eyes widened at the sight from further down the hallway
you could make out a mass of a body and at the top, there was bright red eyes and white teeth smiling menacingly
‘oh my god’
you whispered and the boys saw exactly what you were seeing
‘what is that’
oikawa whimpered
its mouth obviously moved as it spoke
‘are you leaving me, y/n-chan? so cruel~’
its voice was sickly sweet and sounded like a teenage boy’s but was so mean and hate-filled
you started sobbing and oikawa turned the door to run but it stayed put and didnt budge
‘you were so fun to play with~ are your friends fun too~?’
it looked like it was coming closer with a hand outstretched and you started shivering and your voice ripped into a scream
‘stop! go away!’
iwa mustered all his strength and ran against the metal door but it opened on its own, leaving the boy to land on the grass from outside
you were pulled by the others before it could touch you and you were already hysterically crying before the first and second years ran over and engulfed you to a hug
you were being hushed by the them and you tightly held on to someone’s arms
‘sshhh its okay, we’re right here’
you reduced to hiccups before looking around
‘w-where’s the other people?’
you asked, taking notice of the empty field
‘are we at the back?’
the boys shared a confused look
‘huh? what are you talking about, y/n?’
you looked at yahaba like he was crazy
‘the other people! the other people wanting to go in! and the doorguy! the haunted event! the haunted house!’
their eyes flickered everywhere to try and make sense of what you were saying but in the end resulted to just pure confusion and fear
‘y/n, we’re not at some event’
iwa started and your eyes widened
‘w-what?’
makki shakingly placed a hand on your shoulder
‘y/n, you dragged us here to go ghost-hunting. and there’s no doorguy’
your eyes flickered down as your mind tried to wrap itself with what was going on
‘what do you mean? i took you here for a haunted attraction! the doorguy took our phones and locked them in a locker, remember?’
you wildly waved your arms around but they still didnt understand
‘and the flashlight! and the rope! w-we had to hold on to the rope! the rope made sure we didnt stray off the path! bu-but the flashlight! the flashlight died!’
kunimi noticed the beginning of a panic attack so he pulled you close to him and made sure you could feel his heartbeat
‘listen to me, y/n. you took us here because we all lost a bet with you and this was what you wanted since its halloween and we trespassed to go here and there was no doorguy who took our phones because all our phones died the moment we got here and we saw a rope hanging from the ceiling and we had no flashlight in the first place’
he whispered to your ear and you pushed away from him, curling your arms around yourself
‘no! what bet?! i took you here for bonding time for our volleyball team! you were getting busy for inter high so i figured this could help you have fun!’
now that took the cake
‘what volleyball team?’
your eyes finally settled on your ‘captain’
‘what do you mean, ‘what volleyball team’, oikawa-san?’
totally disregarding the fact that you just called him by his last name instead of his first, he focused on what you were talking about
‘if you wanted to bond with the volleyball team, then you brought the wrong sport team over then’
oikawa scoffed, feeling rage bubbling inside him at the familiar players of the volleyball team
‘you shouldve brought over nagisa and rin and them, then, y/n’
makki bitterly mumbled and you were just so exhausted and tired and confused
‘WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT’
you bursted and started crying which ofc prompted the others to calm down and focus on you
‘y/n, love, we’re the swimming team, not the little ball playing game’
mattsun reminded and you shook your head, disbelief and utter fear present in your face
‘then-then! oikawa-san! give me your right knee!’
you ran over and he questioningly raised his leg
‘uhh,, what are you doing, y/n?’
kunimi asked but you waved him off, determination in your eyes
‘this should prove hes a volleyball player’
then you punched it really hard which resulted with a sickening pop
oikawa screamed
a/n: idk if the concept is clear enough but uwu send in a guess and ill answer if you got it right

Writing Romance: Opposites Attract
One of the most widespread among romantic tropes is opposites attract, and with good reason. When a couple are opposites, they’re meant to be one of a few things to each other:
1. An inverse reflection of each other.
2. Compliment each other
3. Cover each other’s shortcomings
In a sense, a good Opposites Attract serves to turn two incomplete people into one solid force. If they’re a battle couple, they’ll tend to fight very well together, often balancing force and finesse, melee and ranged, or physical and magical abilities. If the show or book has a lot of time dedicated to foils and character moments, they are more likely to be the ones that each other lean on, since their opposing characters makes them interesting to react off one another. Their roles, story arcs, and backstories tend to run opposite or parallel to one another depending on the series. If one character’s arc is to mature and become more responsible, likely their partner’s arc might be to learn to loosen up and have fun, learn to trust people, or to face a trauma in their past that made them so mature at a young age.
In terms of design, opposites attract partners tend to be inverse in color schemes. Light and dark hair or eyes, warm and cool color schemes, clashing or complimentary fashion styles, etc. The degree in opposition also varies. Some opposites attract look very similar with only a slight difference, indicating that something small is what set them on different paths in life but are otherwise very similar, almost as two sides of the same coin. Other couples are stark contrasts with virtually nothing in common to really emphasize their differences so that they can better make each other whole, as shown very literally through the character of Garnet in Steven Universe.
Femme and Butch
While typically, you’re mostly going to see this in femmeslash/yuri pairings, this dynamic is actually fairly universal. This divide focuses on a pairing where each couple reflects the values of masculinity and femininity. Although mostly used as lesbian terms, a femme and butch pairing can also be gay or heterosexual. A fashion-loving twink who cries during romantic movies dating a jock who likes sports and drinks beer is still an example of Femme and Butch. Heterosexual is rather obvious, but can also be inversed, with a tough, assertive woman partnered with a sweet, sensitive man, such as Calhoun and Felix in Wreck-It Ralph. A Femme and Butch pairing doesn’t need to check off every box on this list of traits, but these traits tend to be common in these types of relationships.
Brains and Brawn
Also known as Jock and Nerd, this romantic dynamic prioritizes the usefulness of both intelligence and brute strength. Another variation is Book Smarts vs Street Smarts. The Brains will be good at doing research, organizing, and will tend to fight more strategically while the Brawn is primarily going to be good at fighting and likely protecting the Brains from serious harm. Princess and Bodyguard is another possible example of this dynamic, albeit a little less directly.
Hot and Cold
Hot or Warm characters tend to be friendly, outgoing, upbeat, loudmouthed, temperamental, boisterous, and battle-ready. Cold or Cool personalities tend to be shy, calm, quiet, logical, reserved, serious, and emotionally withdrawn. However, while these extreme opposites of hot-head and cold-shoulder balance each other out, it’s worth discussing same heat relationships. Kiribaku is an example of a Hot/Warm relationship, as Bakugou Katsuki is an angry little spitfire with an aggressive streak, while Kirishima Eijirou is a happy-go-lucky sweetheart with a good attitude. This is sort of the same concept, just that both boys are on the warm side of the spectrum, with Kirishima being the cooler counter to Bakugou’s temperamental hot-head. This also works inversely, as the ship Tododeku is a Cold/Cool relationship. Midoriya is a shy, but upbeat young man who tends not to draw too much attention to himself, while Todoroki is stoic, logical, and a bit dense socially. In this case, Midoriya is Cool while Todoriki is Cold, with Midoriya serving as the “Hot” aspect of their relationship as the more friendly and outgoing of the two.
Light and Shadow
This archetype is often used as a “opposite sides of the same coin” format, where the characters serve as foils to one another. In Teen Titans, Raven’s powers are dark and demonic, while Starfire’s are bright and extraterrestrial. Both girls get their powers from their emotions, but where Starfire revels in her emotions to make her powerful, Raven must suppress her emotions to retain control of her powers. As the only two girls, they stick out as the obvious foils of the group. Many times, when this trope appears, it’s in the form of Classic Paragon Hero vs Cynical Anti-Hero. Superman and Batman are a great example. Superman is a boyscout token good guy, while Batman is a brooding loner. One is the hope for justice and goodness to always triumph while the other acknowledges that people are flawed, and maybe not everyone deserves to be saved. Naruto is interesting because he has two dark reflections. The first is Sasuke. While Naruto is the golden-haired idealist who befriends villains almost as often as Steven Universe, Sasuke is a dark counter consumed by a thirst for vengeance and the power to exact it. Naruto’s other dark counter however is Gaara. Both are Jinchuriki, but whereas Naruto eventually found friends and love in his fellow genin, Gaara was very much still alone when he met Naruto, reflecting what Naruto could have become without that love and support in this life.
Protagonist and Rival
Another case of “two sides of the same coin”, most anime protagonists and their rival tend to either have very similar backstories, very similar motivations, or very similar personalities, if not some combination of the three. Both Naruto and Sasuke were abandoned in the world at a young age with the Hokage looking out for them from afar. Naruto started off having nobody, and was always reaching out hoping to connect with anyone. Meanwhile, Sasuke started with a family and lost it, and decided to keep everyone at arm’s length and isolate himself further. Rin Okumura and Ryuji Suguro are practically the same person. Both lost their families and homes due to Satan, both are strong-willed loudmouthed tough guys with a knack for leadership, and both share the goal of killing Satan. Natsu Dragneel is immature and battle-ready, but while Grey Fullbuster at least pretends to be above it, he’ll jump into a fight with Natsu practically unprompted. The main appeal of the anime protagonist and his rival is that they push each other to succeed, often coming from very similar roots, but where they end up is entirely up to the effort they put in and the path they choose to take. They both refuse to lose to each other, and that propells them to constantly want to out-do each other.
Sweet and Sour
My best friend and I are polar opposites in this sense. When we met, she was far too trusting, submissive, and far too forgiving. Meanwhile, I was a lot more cynical, mean-spirited, and unfortunately, a little more closed-minded than I’d like to admit. After five years of friendship, my friend is far more assertive, has a lot more confidence in herself, is a lot better at handling criticism, and rather than just submitting in an argument, she now has the nerve to get in someone’s face and make her point heard. Because of her, I’ve become less stand-offish, more patient and polite, less of a control freak, more aware of valuing other people’s emotions, and more tolerant of a group I hadn’t realized I’d been intolerant toward. We saw the world in such distinctly different ways that we have managed to rub off on each other, and now we’re both such stronger and more complete people for having known each other.
Serious and Goofball
A classic comedy duo, the comedian and the straight man. The Goofball character tends to be immature, a knucklehead, a jokester, and comes off as a bit inexperienced. Meanwhile, the Serious character tends to be mature, responsible, disciplined, but comes off as a bit aloof. The Goofball reminds the Serious character to have a little fun every once in a while, while the Serious character reins in the Goofball before they hurt themselves or somebody else.
Hero and Sidekick
The hero has their act together and the sidekick is just doing their best. This happens a lot in Action movies where the handsome tough guy and the hapless damsel (who he kidnaps a little too often for my liking) is just kind of along for the ride. The two live in entirely different worlds. Sometimes this comes in the variant of Starlet and Manager where one in the relationship takes center stage while the other is content to help them run their life, promote their career, and help them. Another variation is Superstar and Random Extra, wherein one person leads a very visible life in the public eye being adored by millions of fans while their partner works 9-5 in an office dealing with insurance claims. Although they coe from very different worlds and lead very different lives, that doesn’t mean they still haven’t found love in an unlikely place. Often, the reason the hero or big shot loves this random nobody is because they fell in love with them before they ever became famous, or they didn’t know/care who the celebrity was and just liked them as a person without interest in using their celebrity to climb the social ladder.
Loud and Quiet
She’s quirky, outgoing, bubbly, energetic, and talkative. Too talkative. She never shuts up. He’s quiet, simple, down-to-earth, and calm. Too Calm. He never gets excited. This pairing works to push and pull each other until they’ve harmonized. The Quiet one will be pulled out of their shell and learn to be more open and talkative, while the Loud one will learn to think before they act. This couple is divided along lines of Introversion and Extroversion, and together can navigate the anxiety-triggering unease of a social gathering, and finding joy and pleasure in just enjoying each other’s company without needing to fill the silence with pointless chatter.
To be fair, many Opposites Attract couples will fit into more than one of these archetypes, and there’s probably more I didn’t list. But if you’re wanting to create a couple that balances each other out, I hope you find this helpful to you in your writing.

Hai Char!! I wanna know what eps/scene/anything from Naruto/Shippuden that made you fall in love with Naruhina? :)))
AAA I LOVE THESE TYPES OF ASKS OKAY2 SO WHERE DO I BEGIN
I recently started watching Naruto last year in quarantine because I needed something to cope through because aaahh things were a bit rocky that time of month😅 So yeah, i didnt know jackshit about Naruto, I didnt even know what a rasengan was. I gave it a shot and not gonna lie, it took me a few weeks to actually invest myself in it because PACING. I guess I wasnt used to it haha. Then I got into the chuunin exams arc, I finally understood the hype behind it but I still wasnt as invested as everyone in the fandom but THATS WHEN IT HAPPENED. THERE, I SAW THAT ONE PARTICULAR EPISODE THAT WILL FOREVER BE A PART OF ME TIL THIS DAY FORTH.
After seeing her perserverance and how my girl fought back, I fell in love with her IMMEDIATELY. I thought she was cute at first letting Naruto cheat off of her test but when she just bounced back and Bitchslapped Neji, Hyuga Style, I wanted to be her soooo badd. AND WHATS EVEN CUTER WAS WHEN NARUTO, OUT OF NOWHERE, DESPITE CALLING HER A WEIRDO AND BARELY KNOWING HER AT ALL, CHEERED FOR HER AND BOOSTED HER CONFIDENCE TENFOLDS
AND AND, NOT ONLY THAT. BUT MY BOI WAS SO EXTRA, HE JUST JUMPED DOWN AND YELLED AT NEJI FOR BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF HIS HUBBY AND SWORE A MF BLOOD OATH TO AVENGE HER
He was even looking for her after the fight 😭
Also when Naruto accidentally came across Hinata in the training grounds and became vulnerable around her for a sec that he was "uncharacteristically depressed" and Hina was all like; "Nooo, I think you're awesome and so cool! Even though you fail and fail, you still look cool doing it!!!"
Then ik alot of ppl dislike NH because of the fillers and fanservice but idc honestly😸 the fillers made me love them even more haha
ngl, I kinda shipped Narusaku pre shippuden but when I reached the Pain Fight, I was HOOKED. I cried at that episode. She is so precious, becaause God I love her😭
Then THIS. The way he just closed his eyes for a sec and relished the gentleness of her hand after experienceing the traumatic death of his comrade T^T He's so touch starved that this mustve felt so foreign to him akdhdka ☹💖
THIS!!!!!!!
And then I watched the movie because HELLO, it was practically their love story and idgaf what ppl say abt it. It was adorable as heck. And the more I rewatch it, the more I fall in love with it. Every👏damn👏time
also this will forever be my favorite scene in that entire movie (second to their kiss ofc)
The way his eyes were wavering, practically mesmerized by her beauty, and how he just STOPPED and looked at her in that intimate way that screams awe and amazement. Freakdk, I love them 😣
I've reached the 10 image limit so imma stop😆 Why do I love Nh so much? Idk, its just the juxtaposition of their personalities and how theyre each others biggest fans and anchors. they help the other stay grounded and believe in each other's abiities so much THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER SO WELL, ITS UNREAL. EVEN THEIR COLOR SCHEME MATCHES. LIKE WHAT
The way I see it, their love is so tender and pure and I love that theyre so patient with each other. I could write essays and essays as to why I fucking love NH but i think my stories are enough to express that 😆 Im so sorry for the longass answer anon, I just get so hyped when it comes to them eeeee youve unleashed the fangirl in me💔

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ Want to give everyone a show? ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆
✞ synopsis: Kyōtani took his s/o to an anime convention. he thought everything would go ok until your favorite character came around....
✞ pairing: Kyōtani Kentaro x gn! ( I didn’t proof read but I think it is) reader
✞genre: 1.2k WORDS OF PURE FLUFF FOR KYŌ
“ Please Kyo!” you pleaded to your boyfriend, “ You know how much I’ve wanted to go to the anime convention! Plus it’ll only be in Miyagi for two days!” Kyotani, your boyfriend of two years now, continued looking at the movie playing in front of you two. You knew he would take you, he couldn’t say no. You were his weak spot and you were determined to use it to your advantage. “ Pleaseeeee baby?” you asked again but this time with puppy dog eyes. “ If you know my answer why do you keep asking?” he replied in his usual annoyed voice but dating him for so long let you know that he was just teasing you. “ I just wanted to hear you say it” you sighed, turning your attention back to the movie. Silence ruled over the room for only 5 minutes before Kyotani softly turned, kissing you on your cheek. “ Yes. I’ll take you. Now go tell my mom you’re going to stay over, she loves you more” you happily jumped out of Kyotani’s bed knowing you had gotten your way.
It had felt as if it was an eternity before Saturday. Kyotani had scolded you to stop being so jittery. How could you not? You were going to be in a convention hall full of cosplayers of your favorite anime characters along with so much merchandise and this is why Kyotani scolded you. “ Kyo, can I stay over today and over the weekend, I’m not sure at what time we’ll leave the convention and I don’t want to bother my family getting home super late” you asked as the both of you walked to your house after practice. “ You want to be with me that bad huh?” He shot you a cocky smile, quickly holding your hand. You loved this part of Kyotani the most. The side of him that turned goofy when you two were alone. The deep cherry colored blush filled your face, to which Kyotani held both your cheeks and kissed you passionately. “Babe, you do notice we are out in the middle of the street right?” you managed to say as both of you caught your breath. “ Want to give everyone a show?” he told you, hands still cupping your cheeks.
Your alarm awoke you from your cozy, warm slumber under Kyotani’s strong arms. Ever since the Seijoh sleepover , which you had to drag Kyotani to, at the gym where Oikawa tried to pry you away from Kyotani all night , Kyotani always held you close to his chest whenever you two slept in the same bed. You tried to escape his grasp to quiet your alarm. You purposefully set your alarm 15 minutes earlier because you knew this would happen. After twenty minutes of pure struggling, Kyotani was able to wake up. “ Isn’t it way too fucking early?” he said with his incredibly hot, groggy sleepy voice. “ Baby,” you said, kissing him all over his face, “i love you to death but if we miss the train I will make you walk home” Kyotani didn’t seem fazed by your threat. “ Calling my house ‘home’ huh? Damn you love me that much” he said, sitting up in bed. You were so used to referring to each other's houses as “home” that you didn’t even notice. Kyotani’s hands wrapping themselves around your wait like two loving snakes broke you from your pensive state. “ Hurry up and get dressed or I’ll leave you here.
The train ride was quite short in distance but felt long by your excitement. “ Princess, you’re shaking,” Kyotani said, worried. “ I’m just so excited” you say, rapidly tapping your feet. The train came to a stop and you were the first one waiting for the doors to slide open. Kyotani felt as if he had a small golden retriever puppy on a leash. Your father had gotten the both of you fast admission entrance to the convention so you wouldn’t have to wait in line. Being one of the first to enter, your whole happiness was centered in one place. Kyotani swore that he saw stars in your eyes. Noticing your frozen state of happiness, Kyotani took your hand. “ Come on baby, you wanted to come so bad, don’t enjoy it from one spot”. By Kyotani’s olders, you two ate first. There was a booth serving the icon ramen from Naruto where you two ate. Despite ordering two bowls, Kyotani finished by saying “ My grandmother makes better ramen, I’ll take you to visit her one day”. After paying the booth owner, you two started to walk around. Kyotani took pictures of you with some of your favorite characters that were being cosplayed. The Bakugou cosplayer had the same attitude as the real Bakugou and Kyotani almost talked back, but you quickly took him away. “ Look Kyotani, its Sailor Mars, isn’t she your favorite?” you asked, pointing at the Sailor Moon display. “ No, you’re my favorite princess,” he said, walking a tad bit faster. “ Babe, they’re not even princesses and plus come on”, you said starting to pull him towards the booth, “ let's get you a picture so I can show your mom” Ten minutes later you had a multitude of pictures with Sailor Mars hugging an overly-blushing Kyotani.
Kyotani did have his moments of jealousy. When you hid your blushing face in your hands after an Aizawa cosplayer said hi to you, Kyotani started to think coming here was a bad idea. He knew he had nothing to be jealous of since he was the one that held you at night but he still felt jealous. What pushed Kyotani over the ledge was when you stood still when walking. Looking back at you, he saw Haru from Fugou Keiji put an arm around your shoulder, getting ready for a picture. When Daisuke came around to join the picture, Kyotani didn’t know what to feel. Daisuke left right after but that left you with Haru, which didn’t help Kyotani’s emotions. Before you could get Haru to sign anything from you, Kyotani yanked you away, pulling you outside. “ What the hell Kyotani, I wasn’t done” you wanted to growl like he was known for. Kyotani couldn't look you in the eyes. Anger and embarrassment flooded his mind. Anger from you being so excited to see another man and embarrassment from getting angry at you being excited seeing your favorite anime character. You noticed quickly what was happening, you grabbed Kyotani’s cheeks and softly gave him eskimo kisses. You knew eskimo kisses calmed him down, especially when he was angry. “ I’m sorry” he muttered to you. “ Did you get jealous Kyo?” you asked softly, not wanting to speak loud. “ I’m sorry” is all Kyotani could say. He knew you were so excited and he probably ruined everything for you. You knew reassurance would help him so you stood on your tippy toes and gave him a kiss. A kiss quite like the one he gave you in the middle of the street. Before he could respond, you asked with a cocky smirk on your face, “Want to give everyone a show?”

star guy looks like that dude in ep1 where he was next to deku and said that he could be a hero (i dont know the exact words as jt has been froever since i last watched it and im too lazy to check)
That's just him, you have a nice memory!
Horikoshi is bringing back the characters that got to know Deku in a more personal way in order to show and defend his humanity. So well probably get to see more characters from the past arcs!
Including villains, kids from other schools, maybe some characters from the movies that really exist on the bnha manga, characters that were there for a few minutes but we get to know, maybe the kids Shoto and Bakugo interacted with in the Hero License arc...
I think Horikoshi is a big fan of Naruto and I have this feeling that he's gonna give us a big shot of all the characters together for the final arc, even the civilians. Of course the final fight is gonna be more private, but he's gonna give a big closure.
I'm excited to see what exactly he's going to do. I love the fact that he's using an underground labyrinth once more (we saw it on the Overhaul arc and a little on the War arc), because he's diving the teams to give personal spotlights and different tasks that need to be individually done for Deku to reach Tomura and AFO.
So yeah, let's see what's he's going to do!

Solution (Iruka x Kakashi)
Rating: T
Summary: In which Konoha's laws are the problem, and Kakashi and Iruka just might be each other's solution.
A/N: Written for KakaIru Month ( @kakairu-fest ) Day 24 Prompt: Fake Dating (although this fic is more of a pretend relationship/marraige of convenience flavor)
ao3 link
Iruka downs his cup of sake in one gulp and winces, feeling the sweet, sticky liquid burn his throat. When he asks for another cup, the bartender gives him a concerned look but doesn’t say anything, and a bitter smile curls Iruka’s lips. He knows he must be a pitiful sight – it’s way too early on a Friday afternoon to be this drunk – yet, he can hardly find it in him to care.
It was supposed to be a great day – how did everything go so wrong?
Earlier that day, Iruka had a meeting with Hokage, during which he was going to tell Hiruzen that he wanted to adopt Naruto. If someone had told him just a year ago that he, a new Academy teacher who has just turned eighteen, would be adopting a child, Iruka would have laughed at them, but life has a way of surprising people.
When he first saw how lonely Naruto is, despite his friendly nature and his sun-bright smile, Iruka’s heart clenched, and he had to reach out to the boy. Becoming friends with Naruto was surprisingly easy and, before Iruka even noticed, their friendship blossomed into an almost familial bond.
He vividly remembered the evening Naruto fell asleep on his couch while watching a movie. Iruka couldn’t help but smile as he picked him up to carry him to a futon that he’d set up in a spare room. In recent weeks, Naruto stayed at his apartment quite frequently, and Iruka suspected it was because he hated living alone. As Iruka carried him down the corridor, Naruto mumbled something sleepily.
“What are you saying, Naruto?” Iruka asked softly.
“So warm and safe,” Naruto murmured, “I wonder if that’s what it feels like when a father holds you?”
Iruka felt a lump in his throat as he looked down at the boy. He, at least, had memories of his parents to hold on to, but Naruto had been an orphan since birth. How must it be for him, never to have felt familiar love?
Iruka couldn’t sleep all night, haunted by the thought. While there was nothing he could do to bring Naruto’s parents back, there still was something he could do for him. When the morning came, and he and Naruto settled at the kitchen table for breakfast, Iruka asked, “Naruto, would you like me to adopt you?”
The next thing Iruka knew, Naruto flung himself at him, squeezing Iruka in a tight hug.
“Of course, I would, Iruka-sensei,” he said, smiling brightly, “You better believe it!”
And so, the decision was made.
Iruka had no doubt that all will go well, and he’ll get custody of Naruto – until he had the meeting with Hiruzen.
They were having tea on the balcony of the Hokage tower – as they often did during their meetings - when Iruka said, “I want to adopt Naruto.”
“Oh?” Hiruzen tilted his head to the side, looking at Iruka with a curious expression, “I suppose congratulations are in order then. Though I must say, I’m a little surprised – you never mentioned you were…involved with anyone.”
“Involved?” Iruka repeated, confused.
“Yes,” Hiruzen nodded, taking a sip of his tea, “As you know, only married couples can adopt children in Konoha – after all, it’s much better for children to grow up in full families. So tell me, who is it you are marrying?”
Iruka felt color drain from his face – he has never heard of such a requirement. Before he could say anything, however, an ANBU flickered in front of them.
“Hokage-sama, your presence is required urgently…”
Iruka had never been more grateful for an interruption of his meeting with Hiruzen.
Now, sitting at the bar, Iruka cannot help but feel angry and bitter. The adoption rule is arbitrary and utterly ridiculous - and isn’t it better for the orphans to have at least some family than no family at all? Iruka has no idea how he will tell Naruto the truth, and the image of Naruto’s distraught face breaks his heart. Before he starts crying, Iruka downs another cup of sake.
“Rough day, Iruka-sensei?” says a familiar voice.
Startled, Iruka glances to his right to see none other than Kakashi Hatake, sitting on a barstool next to him. If Iruka was a little more sober, he would have felt guilty about not greeting Kakashi earlier – and about the number of empty cups before him - but he’s drunk. So drunk, in fact, that he somehow missed Kakashi’s arrival.
“Like you wouldn’t believe it,” he mutters.
The bartender arrives, placing three shot glasses in front of Kakashi. Iruka stares, mesmerized, as Kakashi empties all three glasses so quick that it seems he never takes off his mask.
“It looks like you had a rough day too,” Iruka remarks then, “Tough mission.”
“I’ll tell you my grievances if you tell me yours,” Kakashi says wryly.
They aren’t close, not at all – Kakashi had given him advice on approaching Naruto once, and, outside of that, they’ve only spoken briefly during Iruka’s shifts at the mission desk. Kakashi is not the person Iruka normally shares his problems with, but alcohol does a wondrous job at loosening people’s tongues.
“Did you know that to adopt a child in this village, you need to be married?” he says, with a sigh, “Well, I didn’t, but apparently that’s the rule. Which, I think is very stupid – there are so many orphans here, wouldn’t it be better for them to have at least one loving parent rather than no parents at all?”
Kakashi stares at him intently but remains quiet, so Iruka continues.
“But no, apparently only “full families” count, so now I have to go tell Naruto that I cannot adopt him because I’m not married. And, mind you, I care for the boy so much, I would have gotten married if I was seeing someone – but between the work at the Academy, shifts at the Mission desk, and missions, what time do I have to date? If only…” realizing that he’s rambling, Iruka stops abruptly.
Even though his drunken haze, he feels a little embarrassed. Kakashi is lending him a sympathetic ear, and instead of talking about his real problem – the fact that he could not adopt Naruto – he started rambling about his lack of a dating life.
Kakashi remains quiet, looking at Iruka pensively. As silence stretches, Iruka shifts uncomfortably in his seat.
“So,” Iruka smiles awkwardly, “I’ve told you my troubles – now it’s your turn.”
“I… don’t really believe in fate, sensei, but I must say, this is quite the coincidence,” Kakashi finally says.
“What do you mean?” Iruka frowns.
“You see, the reason that I’m here, drowning my sorrows, is because I’ve had the exact same conversation with the Hokage earlier today,” Kakashi explains, “Only, I was speaking to him about Sasuke Uchiha.”
Iruka feels a lump in his throat at Kakashi’s words. Sasuke… He still hasn’t been released from the hospital after what happened to his family. As his homeroom teacher, Iruka went to visit Sasuke a few times and could hardly bear the empty, dejected look on the boy’s face.
Still, Kakashi’s revelation surprises Iruka.
“I didn’t know you were close to his family,” Iruka says, meeting Kakashi’s gaze.
“I wasn’t,” Kakashi admits, “Or, at least, not with his parents. But I think I owe it to him – if I had only noticed that Itachi…”
Kakashi stops himself, but Iruka can guess the rest. Though officially, the identities of the ANBU operatives were a secret, in reality, it wasn’t difficult to put two and two together. There was hardly a shinobi in the village who didn’t know that Kakashi and Itachi were both in the ANBU. Perhaps, they were on the same team…
Before Iruka can say anything, the bartender comes by again, placing two cups of sake before Kakashi. Next thing he knows, Kakashi’s sliding one cup towards him. Liquid sloshes over the edge of the cup as Iruka catches it, and, when he absent-mindedly lifts his fingers to his lips to lick sake from them, he notices something shift in Kakashi’s gaze and feels shivers run up his spine.
“I think we can help each other,” Kakashi says, his voice a little hoarse.
“How so?” Iruka asks.
“We could get married,” Kakashi shrugs nonchalantly.
Iruka nearly chokes on his drink.
“What?” is all he could manage.
“It’s only logical,” Kakashi continues, “You want to adopt Naruto, I want to adopt Sasuke, the only thing standing in the way is the marriage requirement. If we get married, that problem will be solved.”
Iruka stares at Kakashi, utterly dumbfounded, uncertain where to start. Sure, when Kakashi puts it like that, in theory, it might make sense for them to get married, but in reality…
“Kakashi-san,” Iruka says slowly, “With all due respect – we barely know each other. Do you think it would be wise for us to get married?”
“You said you wouldn’t mind getting married if that meant you could adopt Naruto,” Kakashi replies, leaning his elbows on the bar and resting his chin on his palm.
“I said I wouldn’t mind getting married if I was seeing someone,” Iruka says pointedly.
“But you aren’t,” Kakashi’s eye curves, and Iruka can tell that he’s smiling under the mask, “So, it seems, this is the next best thing.”
Iruka wasn’t much of a romantic – shinobi life quickly disabuses anyone of such delusions – and still, he couldn’t fathom getting married to a man he hardly knew. But, in his drunken haze, Kakashi’s arguments almost made sense. If this lets him adopt Naruto, maybe it’s worth it…
“Perhaps, you are right,” Iruka laughs, then shakes his head, “I have heard that you, the jounin, are crazy, but you must be the craziest of all. What normal person would propose to a man he barely knows?”
“I know you are a Konoha shinobi through and through, responsible and good with children,” Kakashi shrugs, emptying his drink in one swift motion, “And that’s enough for me.”
Iruka can hardly stop himself from rolling his eyes.
“I’d also think someone like you would have other options,” he adds.
“What do you mean?” Kakashi frowns.
Iruka sighs. <em>He cannot possibly be that oblivious. </em>
“Well, Kakashi-san,” Iruka says in a tone in which he usually explains things to his youngest students, “You are the famous copy-ninja. I’d expect there to be a line all the way to the village’s gate if you were to say that you were looking for someone to marry.”
Kakashi laughs then – and it’s the first time Iruka hears the sound and, somehow, he cannot help but smile.
“Sorry to disappoint, Iruka-sensei, but the reality hardly matches your expectations,” Kakashi murmurs, then shifts a little closer and adds, “So, do you accept my proposal?”
Iruka looks at Kakashi for a moment, wondering what he’s getting himself into, then, emboldened by the liquid courage running through his veins, says, “Fine.”
“See, I knew you’d come around,” Kakashi smiles.
A million thoughts run through Iruka’s mind – there are so many things they need to discuss. Where will they live? His apartment certainly isn’t big enough for four people, and he has no idea about Kakashi’s own living arrangements. How will they tell Naruto and Sasuke, and when should they tell them? What does Kakashi <em>expect</em> out of this marriage?
But, before Iruka can say a single word, Kakashi glances at the clock and gets up from his seat.
“Time to go,” he says.
“Go where?” Iruka asks, confused.
“To the civil registrar’s office, of course,” Kakashi replies, “It’s half past four, so we have about half an hour, which should be enough time to get married. Otherwise, we’ll have to wait till Monday, and I have a bad feeling that I’ll get sent on a mission before then. So, both the marriage and the adoption will need to happen today.”
“Shouldn’t we tell Naruto and Sasuke first?” Iruka protests but still gets up from his seat.
“No time for that now,” Kakashi shakes his head, “Besides, what’s the issue? You <em>did</em> agree.”
“I didn’t think we were going to do this today,” Iruka says weakly.
His head is spinning from all the sake, so he grasps at the bar to steady himself.
“A shinobi must always be prepared for the unexpected,” Kakashi sounds amused as he cites the rules at him, “And what better time than now?”
Before Iruka could protest, Kakashi wraps his arm around his waist, pulling him closer.
“What are you doing?” Iruka almost hisses, embarrassed at the warmth that floods his body on the contact.
“There is no time to walk, so I’m going to flicker us,” Kakashi says, quickly forming a seal with one hand, “Now hold on.”
*
“You want to get married now?” the chunin at the registration office seems equal parts annoyed and unimpressed.
Iruka knows the look all too well – it’s the look of someone who’s been hoping to leave the office ten minutes early all day and now has a sudden influx of work, right at the close.
“Well, you know how it is,” Kakashi says, unaffected, “True love can’t wait. Right, Iruka?”
The sudden familiarity of his tone, combined with the way Kakashi reaches out and pulls Iruka against his side, makes heat rise in Iruka’s cheeks.
“Right…Kakashi,” Iruka replies. The name without the honorific feels strange on his tongue, but Iruka knows he’ll have to get used to it.
The chunin stares at them for a moment, then sighs and walks over to her desk to fill out the necessary forms. To Iruka’s surprise, Kakashi doesn’t let go of him while she works.
“Sign here,” the chunin says after a few minutes as she turns the form she’d been filling out towards them.
It’s as if in a haze that Iruka walks over to the desk, takes the pen, and signs his name right next to Kakashi’s.
“Congratulations,” the chunin tells them, “You are now married.”
As Iruka looks at the marriage license in front of him, the reality of the situation slowly begins to sink in. He just married Kakashi of all people.
What has he gotten himself into?
“Is that all?” the chunin’s adds in a voice that makes it clear that the last thing she wants to do is to fill out more documents.
“Actually,” Iruka knows Kakashi’s smiling under his mask as he says it, “We are going to need adoption paperwork…”
