Jiraiya: Orochimaru, stop! This isn't you, you've gone mad with power!

Orochimaru: Well of course I have!

Orochimaru: Have you ever tried going mad without power?

Orochimaru: It's boring.

thinking about the sannin and abandonment and the past following you wherever you go no matter how hard you try to leave it behind and staying and clinging to whatever you have left until it twists you into something unrecognizable and chases you out and clinging to it even after that while getting worse and worse and watching everything you love die and pushing away whatever you have left and abandoning people who need you because staying is killing you and leaving and leaving also killing you and the worst coping mechanisms known to man and trying so hard not to remember when you were just three kids with a teacher who adored you before everything collapsed in on itself now none of you can stand the sight of each other and the devastation of war and fame gained through clinging to your life and being so defined by survival that you forget to do anything else and people trying to rely on you when you can't even rely on you and dying alone with your regrets and the endless cycle of rebirth and alcoholism

#naruto #naruto shippuden #the legendary sannin #densetsu no sannin #jiraiya #senju tsunade #orochimaru #sarutobi hiruzen #i know jiraiya is. awful but. i do like him when he's not being gross #and there's a Lot going on there. it's just that the grossness is also there a lot #tsunade is so full of issues. like so full of them #also i find it really interesting how jiraiya left and tsunade left and orochimaru stayed #he always had problems too ofc but he became what he became because unlike jiraiya and tsunade he didn't leave #until he had to #how jiraiya and tsunade left for selfish reasons but were ultimately right to do so #how orochimaru stayed and destroyed himself #how sarutobi was the catalyst for so much bc he cared too much in the wrong ways #trusting people you've known for so long and trying so hard to be the man your teacher thought you could be #but never fully realizing the flaws in him or in your comrades or your students or yourself #being given a mantle you didn't ask for bc you offered yourself up as a sacrifice #being placed on a pedestal and being too afraid to step away from it or view yourself outside of it #being a sad tired old man who tried too hard in the wrong ways and not enough in the right ones #dying at the hands of someone you adored but also abandoned in your own right #loyalty and treachery and becoming something new and trying and failing and the consequences of your actions #killing someone you love. loving the person who's killing you. being morned by people who should and one day will hate you #fighting for an ideal that doesn't exist and never existed and never could exist but you can't admit it or else what's the point #living in a world that no longer remembers what a childhood looks like and maybe never knew to begin with #the world breaks you and everyone you love and you break yourself and the world and everyone you love and everyone you love breaks you too #also there's monkeys

one thing that I find really really interesting is that in practically every scene where it's just jiraiya and tsunade alone, kishimoto very deliberately draws at least a panel of the two of them being completely silent in each other's companies, even refusing to look at each other.

when jiraiya got drinks with tsunade in og

when he got drinks with her before he left. notice that neither of them are making any eye contact, refusing to look at each other.

the iconic bench scene ofc

why this is important to me is cause I think it's an excellent way on kishi's part to show the dynamic and history between the two of them (and the sannin as a whole too). ((note this isn't a jiratsu post))

the few scenes we get of the two of them talking alone, you always get the impression that there's a secondary, entirely silent conversation going on in the background that only the two of them even know about. a conversation about all the things they cannot say. and he conveys that so well in these deliberate panels. you can SEE in their expressions, in the things that they do say when they choose to break the silence. there's so much between them, so much they yearn to say. and the weight of all of that, the depth of those feelings and emotions, is ultimately what makes them not say anything at all.

because you've known each other since you were SIX years old, you fought WARS together, this is a person you'd put your life on the line for without a second of hesitation. yet. there is a 20 year gap. you haven't spoken with each other for as long as you grew up together too. they've lived an entire lifetime together, but then an entire equally as long lifetime apart. they're the same person they've always been but yet... you can't really recognise the person in front of you. they both can see that they've become shells of the people they used to be. you both have gone through so much, and you know the the other person knows this. you know it so intimately, what things you can say, what things you can't. youre being so careful yet you both know there's this pretense going on.

there's so much left, yet so little. after all of that, what is there even left to be said? what CAN be said? they're already so intimately aware of what the other is thinking, there's nothing new, yet somehow, there's this gap. there's this emptiness that both know they can't really do anything about.

in the end, the sannin are a tragic trio. and kishi does an excellent job of showing this through their stories and histories, sure. but he does an even better job at showing it through their small interactions together. the way they always end up talking about the past, the attempt to bring up happier times (like tsunade trying to reminisce about their genin days as team hiruzen), yet how they ALWAYS come back to ultimately how they fell apart, and the world kept spinning, and all they can do is try to make sure the future doesn't make the same mistakes they did.

what can you even say to someone like that? it must've been so freeing, to have someone that understands them to such an extent. that would know them more than anyone else in the world ever could imagine. and yet. so suffocating. because they're a reminder. a reminder of what you used to be, a reminder of what could've been, a reminder of how everything went wrong, every single mistake you ever made. and so despite the person in front of you being the only person in the world that likely knows exactly how you're feeling, what you're going through, all your experiences, they're also somehow the last person you can ever speak to about any of it. because it becomes like a trap almost. they're constantly reminded of their pasts when they look at each other. how can you ever begin to move on with someone like that right in front of you?

once upon a time, they were the hope of konoha. they were the young shinobi, meant to bring in a new era of peace, meant to be the change. and they wholeheartedly believed this too. and then, to make it to 50, after everything they went through, and realising they were no better off than the generation before them. that everything they ever stood for, ever fought for, were all practically in vain. and how suddenly the people meant to be the change for the future can only hope to make sure there is still even a chance for change for the next generation.

really, what else are they meant to do around each other than continue their little dance or chess game and let the unspoken remain unspoken?

#like i said i have a lot of feelings and thoughts about the sannin #i cannot get enough of their dynamic #it doesnt help that kishi barely explores them at all #i want to see more of them #i wanna see how three carefree children grow up together and become as fractured as they did #theyre so different from team 7 too #cause team 7 doesnt have that much history that much shared experiences #team 7 are what the sannin couldve been if the sannin didnt give up sure #but there is definitely a reason that made the sannin give up in the first place #we need a prequel #sannin #jiraiya #tsunade #meta #hc #nart #naruto #naruto shippuden #the sannin #the legendary sannin #densetsu no sannin #tsunade senju #sorry im a rambler at heart #a yapper #i cant help myself #what is left????#this is what people mean when they say the silence is so loud its deafening #analysis #stream of consciousness #NOT A SHIP POST

Oh yeah and that scene where orochimaru finds the snakeskin by his parents graves….bs. That was supposed to be a defining moment and they butchered that shit bc

1. How did a child named OROCHIMARU NOT know what a snake shed looked like (his ass definitely knew what that was he has snake GENES)

2. You literally actually CANNOT tell what color a snake was/is by its shed skin????

#i have a pet snake who’s ORANGE AS HELL #and his shed does NOT give that away #like this was written like mega ass poopy #i can understand him not knowing the meaning of a white snake #but come on. get Fuckin real #orochimaru #naruto #boruto #sannin #the legendary sannin

“You're wrong, that's not what makes a shinobi. You never did get it. A real ninja is one who endures no matter what gets thrown at him… Let me explain something to you, there is only one thing that matters if you are a shinobi, and it isn't the number of techniques you possess. All you do need, is the guts to never give up.„~ Jiraiya to Orochimaru
