So, if you've been following me for a while, you might remember this unspecified naruto character that I have a feud going on with. While I was rewatching the Chunin exams arc 2022/23, I spotted this old fuck:
If you remember this time period of me posting, you might also know that I was quite pissed at him. He didn't do anything, but why is this minimum fourty year old fuck here??? That's not a shinobi, that's a distinguished gentleman. Get him out of the army. My man literally has his hitai-ate tied in a bow?? Hello??
But. It gets crazier.
you might think that this is a regular screenshot of mr.bow but NO! This is him still sitting in the exams room after the tenth question was asked. BOW MAN PASSED THE THEORETICAL CHUNIN EXAMS. That's crazy! This man probably was in the forest of death, IN THAT OUTFIT.
And if you thought that was all. Here's my new discovery-
HE'S CANON. HE EXISTS IN THE NARUTO MANGA THIS IS AN ACTUAL CHARACTER. NOT JUST SOME FUCKER MADE UP BY STUDIO PIERROT.

I feel like we don't give enough credit to the fact that Sakura did not have to cheat on the written portion of the chunin exam. They had to sneak in ranked, fully adult members and Sakura is just like "oop better get started this exam is a little long."

NaruFox AU Second fight - Sakura vs Shino: A battle of brains!
Prev / Next
Sakura knows she still can’t use powerful genjutsu, she only hoped it would last enough for her to get Shino to surrender.

one thing i think people tend to overlook is that genin neji— the angry, self-righteous, arrogant prodigy— actively chose not to punch down.
he knew lee was weaker than him and didn’t get involved in senseless fights with him. if they were training, sure they fought, but neji and lee are framed as narrative rivals. you think we’d have a filler episode or a single manga panel showing them having a naruto/sasuke level fight over something stupid, but we don’t. (and i’m pretty sure lee instigated every single one of their fights.)
neji just so happened to come across team ten in the forest of death, and while they (hilariously) tried plan after plan to negotiate with him for their lives— mind you, this is one kid against an entire team of other kids— he walked away.
when neji was chosen to 1v1 hinata, he tried to talk her into avoiding that situation altogether. they both knew what the outcome of that match was going to be, and he spent a good bit of time trying to talk her out of fighting him, even trying to scare her out of proceeding with the match before it began.
and he did the exact same thing to naruto, which was yet another match he was *supposed* to win by a landslide. obviously we the audience know how that turned out, but no one in-universe knew that naruto v. neji was going to be a major upset, including naruto and neji. neji tried to make naruto stop fighting him even when he was winning.
and, like. you can chalk it up to neji being a smug little brat if you want. he was a smug little brat. but i think it’s very telling that The Kid To Beat only chose violence when his opponents did first.

Do you think sasuke wore that onesie to the final part of the chunin exam as a nod to Rock Lee.
Like he got one upped by Lee, then Lee got his shit rocked by Gaara, then Sasuke had to fight Gaara.
Like I think he did it to be like yea well I make onesies look cool.
