i want a series about a class from a school for adults who never finished their secondary education and it’s composed entirely of the tropes of a high school shojo manga except everyone is in their 30s trying to get their GED
the absolute *chef's kiss*, depth, angst, and clownery of the kakagai dynamic this fic has is beyond insane and amazing and I am not ashamed to say that I have binged it at least 7 times
Now, my lovelies, please read "Sunflower" by cloudynebula and lapifors once more and bask in its utter perfection. But make sure you're in the right headspace for it because it's really heavy and dark tho! Please take care of yourself first <3
comic update 1.1: quality of life changes! mixed my own art style with naruto sd's to make it significantly easier on the eyes! lee is no longer pale as hell like he is in sd!!!
In Naruto SD, the Naruto spinoff that focused on Rock Lee and Team Gai
There was an episode that referred to Team Gai as team 3
Plus they refer to them multiple times as team 3, even in a Naruto Shippuden filler episode
So even though it was treated as if they were just the third team for that episode,
My headcanon and I saw that this was more widespread than I thought is that Team Gai was Team 3 similar to Team Kakashi was Team 7, Team Asuma Team 10, and Team Kurenai Team 8
Doesn't really mean much but in a lot of fanfics and other past headcanons they're usually team 9 since it was the one team missing from the sequence of 7, 8, 10
From a world-building perspective, it can also explain some nonessential questions
There were about 27 kids in Naruto’s graduating class
Which for genin squads of 3 makes 9 teams
And we know there was a 33% pass rate so of the 9 teams 3 were the likelihood of passing
Hence Teams 7, 8, & 10
But since they used team 10 for nine teams that means either there are teams still in circulation so they couldn't use that number
Or it was just skipped over as they weren't an important team
But when we meet Team Gai they're not called Team 3 but they are Team Gai similar to Kakashi now calling his team Kakashi when they could have been called team 7
So I guess the numbered team's are just for the rookie year team so when they get passed that rookie year they can be an official team as Team Gai is a year older than Naruto and co so they are an official team and their leader is Gai
That or Jonin (or chunin) captains are always the title name of that team so that even if Naruto was working with team 3 it'll still be called team Gai as it's Gai’s team not just the combination of Lee Tenten and Neji
But then there's Team Kakashi with Yamato as captain but that's because Kalashi was unavailable
So I guess my theory is that Team 3 was Team Gai they're first year then after a year they became officially team gai so team 3 was opened up again
But since we know only teams 7, and 8 & 10 passed the next year team 3 is still untaken so it's still ok to use Team 3 for Team Gai as there isn't another team 3 in circulation
Which I guess carries on into Shippudden as we don't know much about the following genin outside of Konohomaru’s which is called Team Konohamaru
But its a 1/7 chance they would have been called team 3 of the remaining seven of ten numbers
Let alone when you open it up more like in Boruto there's a Team 40
There's also a theory there's a connection with the numbered team like the two interactions of teams 7 & 10 (naruto and boruto era) highly mirror each other but haven't seen a team 8 as maybe there's not a team we've seen that fills that sensory tracking team they were in boruto
¡Magnifico Team Choza!
