#and guy at the beginning of the arc trying to JOIN ANBU

[panharmonium]

@dreamersscape​ - in response to your notes on that other post, oh my gosh, YES, i didn’t even write anything up about Guy, but he really was a HERO in these episodes.  You described it so well - his way of taking care of Kakashi is clumsy sometimes, but it’s in such a pure way that it doesn’t matter.  

I remember thinking something along the same lines after I finished Season 10, when I saw that episode where Kakashi is about to be named Hokage and Guy challenges him to a footrace - I loved that one so much, because it was right after Kakashi and the kids got back from that horrible confrontation with Sasuke, and I remember I felt terrible because Kakashi was coming back from a situation where he a) discovered the real history behind what happened with Itachi and the Uchiha clan, and b) thought he was going to have to kill his own kid, and then before he even has a chance to breathe, the village is like “someone needs to step in as hokage we’ve nominated you,” and he doesn’t even want that job; it’s the last thing he wants to do right now, but he feels like he has to do it, and I just wanted someone to ask him “hey uhh are you okay” - and then Guy showed up!

And like you said, he takes care of Kakashi in his own kind of clumsy, sometimes shortsighted way - he doesn’t understand what’s happened, and Kakashi doesn’t confide in him, either, but Guy still literally checks him all over from head to toe to make sure he’s not hurt, and then he challenges him to that stupid race, which turns out to be the best possible thing anyone could have done.  Kakashi has FUN; he’s LAUGHING; he tells Guy, “This was just what I needed.”  

Guy may not be the friend who always understands everything, or with whom Kakashi necessarily wants to have deep, spill-your-guts conversations about his innermost thoughts, but that’s not the only kind of friend a person needs!  Sometimes you need somebody who will just BE THERE, and who will work to cheer you up whether you talk about your problems or not.  Guy’s particular type of caring is perfect for Kakashi, who doesn’t necessarily open up to people and who would really be in trouble if “sharing your problems” were a prerequisite for people trying to help him - Guy is so determined and passionate about being a good friend that it doesn’t matter to him if Kakashi is as unreceptive as a rock; that just spurs him on to greater heights XD

Guy takes care of Kakashi like this, basically:

and Kakashi just has to deal with it.  It’s good for him.

#and yes the fact that kakashi's classmates intervened on his behalf was AMAZING #when kurenai told the third hokage 'maybe it's not my place; but it has to be said: we've lost enough friends' - #i LOVED that #kakashi's generation was decimated by war #and i loved seeing the few survivors drawing a line and saying 'enough is enough; this isn't right' #'we shouldn't have to lose any more classmates' #their childhoods were already stolen from them #they deserve to have futures that aren't defined by death #'it's like he's in a hurry to die' - that was an INCREDIBLE line #kudos to kurenai for not pulling any punches #and guy at the beginning of the arc trying to JOIN ANBU????? so he could help kakashi more?????? a hero honestly #honestly all of this just made me sadder about asuma #at the beginning of the show it wasn't clear that these guys were in the same class #but now i know and even though i was already sad about asuma it's worse now :( #thinking about kakashi jumping in to take care of asuma's kids immediately afterwards #and nearly getting himself killed multiple times trying to protect them during that fight... #your honor i say again i love him #naruto #pan watches naruto #conversation

Naruto Tag

It took me a couple days to get around to this, sorry! I was tagged by @moonfox22​ and @dimancheetoile​. Thanks guys!

Top 5 characters

1. Kakashi 2. Tobirama 3. Minato 4. Sakura 5. Obito

A character you’ve been disappointed in their development and why

This might be unpopular but Iruka. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my sweet little sensei. But I really don’t like the way he was portrayed in Road to Ninja or the wedding arc at the end of the anime. At the beginning of the show he is built up to be this kind man who learns to understand Naruto and care for him despite the demon fox inside the boy. I took from those things that he was the kind of person who was willing to listen to your problems.

But in Road to Ninja he just flat out yells at Naruto for being sad that his father is dead? He doesn’t even listen to Naruto or try to talk to him about these feelings? Like, yeah at the end of the movie they have that cute scene where Iruka shows up with a cake and that’s nice and all. But I don’t agree with the way they portrayed that conversation at the ramen stand.

Same thing with the very last episode of the anime. Naruto comes over to visit him before his wedding and Iruka screams at him for neglecting her? And he says something like “there are things I failed to teach you about being a human” as if Naruto is doing something wrong just by visiting someone that is supposed to be precious to him? They’re supposed to view each other as brothers, what is supposed to be wrong with Naruto visiting him?

I dunno, it just bothered me that they seem to jump Iruka’s personality around from caring to careless whenever they need a convenient plot disturbance.

A character you wish had more panel/screen time

I wish we could have seen Ino actually doing something. We saw her flitting about Konoha and she appeared in some battles but usually did very little. I would have loved to see some of her actually being the bad ass I know she can be. I wanted to see her working in the Intelligence division like her father before her or destroying minds with her jutsu.

Favourite arc

Kakashi Gaiden. The whole thing. Hands down. Not only was the story line centered entirely around my ultimate fav, but it was a good story line. It showed Kakashi growing and changing, learning new things and letting that new knowledge change him as a person. We got to see the cold cruel beginning but also the moments of mercy and the proof that his humanity was still there. Knowing what he went through when he was younger changed everything about how I watched his older self interact with the people and events around him.

Favourite antagonist and why

I think a toss-up between Pein and Kisame. Neither of them were inherently evil but they were pushed towards evil acts by their disillusionment with the world around them. Pein as Nagato was such a little cinnamon roll who just wanted to make the world a better place and protect his friends. Then when he lost the most important person in his world he thought “fuck you I will force the world to be better”. Kisame was similar; he was just trying to do what he was told and be an obedient shinobi. When he questioned how actually fucked up the things he was asked to do were, he was punished for it. He joined the Akatsuki because they were trying to build a perfect world and, being really disillusioned with reality, he was happy to help with that plan. Not to mention - and yes I am this petty - Kisame is kinda hot!

Thoughts on Akatsuki and its evolution in the plot

The characters were very different from each other and very interesting. I liked the strange thing they had going on where they were fighting for world peace by murdering everyone. xD It was just kind of unique to me that their end goal was the perfect world that would make everyone happy, but of course they’re ruthless and willing to make sacrifices to achieve that goal.

By the end though I was more in to the individual characters than the Akatsuki as a whole because the organization got weird and messy and not written very well plot-wise. I wish we had more arcs on those characters, where they came from and what they had gone through while in this organization.

Choose a fixed point in the manga, alter it and give me your canon divergence

Instead of just leaving Obito’s body behind, Minato and his two surviving students wait for the earthquake to settle then go about retrieving their fallen friend. Oh, hey, surprise! Obito isn’t dead! They bring him back to the Leaf and he receives mass amounts of healing. They are able to save his organs but his arm and leg are fitted for prosthetics. Kakashi keeps the eye. They train together and become the single most terrifying duo you will ever face on any battlefield ever. Maybe fall in love along the way *winkwink*. Madara might find someone else to try and help with his plans but they fail as soon as they try and all of my precious babies live happily ever after. U.U

A canon ship that didn’t disappoint (hard, I know)

Can I use a FRIENDship instead of a relationship? Does that count? Because Kakashi and Gai are BroTP forever. These two idiots have literally never let each other down. They will fight for each other and believe in each other until they have both dragged in their dying breath.

Favourite rare pair/crack ship

Fav crack pairing will always be MadaKaka xD

A piece of fanart you love and wish to promote the artist

Uhhhh everything that anyone has ever drawn for me? 

@syndellwins has done so many pieces for me and they are all wonderful. Hard to choose between them but I think this one of one of my KakaHana sequels might still be my fav.

@mrsvasiliev has gifted me the world’s best Kaka-butt more than once, starting with this glorious piece, also of one of my KakaHana soulmate au’s. 

@thetoxicstrawberry knows exactly what she’s done. Of the ones on tumblr I would have to say my fav from her art is Madara in gotdamn footie pajamas! Drawn for a small MadaKaka piece written by me. 

And most recently but certainly not least @redhothollyberries has created some beautiful art for the MadaTobi sequel I am almost half done. I might still be drooling on this. *shhhh*

You are all incredible and amazing people! I bow to your talents!

Top 5 Naruto fanfictions you even read

Hnnngggg uhm there are way too many. I’m just going to list the first ones that I can think of.

(Force) Trick or Treat by  Hiruma_Musouka Pairing: MadaraTobirama Summary: Uchiha Tajima has developed a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy regarding his sons' social lives since Madara and Izuna met the Senju family. This is because whenever Izuna tells him things, he generally regrets asking. (Or: The only thing more ridiculous than Uchiha and Senju in proximity to one another are Uchiha and Senju in proximity to Halloween parties.) "

As Is The Sea Marvelous by blackkat Pairing: MadaraTobirama Summary: Tobirama is willing to give absolutely anything for Hashirama and his dream.

Your Most Important Person by Yunyu Pairing: KakashiSakura Summary: Some people got their soulmarks on their arms or faces or some other place that was more difficult to hide. He remembered how Minato-sensei’s hair would sometimes be lifted by the wind enough to reveal “Uzumaki Kushina dattebane!” written boldly across the back of his neck in crimson. His teacher had sometimes laughed in his gentle way about it, saying that fate was determined to make things easy for him.

The Nature Of Water Is To Find Another Path by Aesolucian Pairing: TobiramaIzuna Summary: This is a story about how a cat drastically changed the course of history. This is a story about trying not to be human. This is a story about Senju Tobirama and his family.

The Bijozakura Seal by megyal Pairing: KakashiIruka Summary: Kakashi and Iruka are bonded together, entirely against their wishes. While Iruka begins to deal with it, Kakashi still has... doubts.

The More We Get Together by KakashiSauce Pairing: KakashiTenzou Summary: Tenzou has been accepted into ANBU and is looking forward to his new life, with what he hopes will be his new friends. His vision of a harmonious team dynamic is shattered when his captain is introduced to him; and makes it quite clear from the start that he is NOT going to make things easy for Tenzou. The more we get together, the happier we'll be.

Okay I did six, so sue me. There are so many favs and I wanted to put them all in.

What is your opinion on the last arc, Kaguya and the whole “children of the Sage, destined to fight, blablabla”

*sigh*

That’s it. That’s the whole opinion.

Your fondest memory while reading/watching Naruto

Uhhhhh…I don’t know. Every time one of the main characters accomplishes something I’m just bawling like a proud mama.

When you started Naruto, what was the arc? What made you want to read/watch more?

The very first episode just had me, you know? xD This little boy who no one liked and was always mean to found out why and found a person to love him. The anger on his face when he told Mizuki to never lay a hand on his sensei again was just *clutches heart* sign me up for more.

If Kishimoto gave you a chance to write a filler, what would it be about?

The adults! I would see what Minato got up to during his childhood or maybe an episode about Sakumo and Kakashi’s mom. If not them then possibly Genma and Raidou? I just want to know everything about everyone, okay???

I’m not tagging anyone because I am super late with this and I don’t know who all has done it. If you haven’t done it yet feel free to and tag me so I can read your responses!

Naruto alternare universe

So i like the way naruto went (well, some things better than other (screw you kaguya)) but i think that it could have went in a waaaay different route. So here i go (hope you won’t get bored): Everything goes the same until Naruto Shippuden, except in the Pain arc no one is revived, so i think the series might have done this:

Naruto becomes REALLY messed up, lots and lots of people he knew and love died BUT, sakura is alive, but if you remember she did nothing to stop Pain, she just sat there and cried for help (do you see where I’m going??) Naruto at first is glad that sakura is alive but because of all the emotional pain he just can’t stand that she did nothing but everyone else did every last friking bit to try stop the six paths, so sakura decides to grab tsunade and start to take care of her while training by herself (kinda like what happened allways buy now she actually improved).

Meanwhile naruto just enters in this emotional crisis but he makes a movement to rescue the survivors (before sakura leaves she helps at this) and start a new village; but almost everyone is dead so they just make a little group that will be dedicated only to the extermination of akatsuki. They select a powerful ninja to be a provisional “hokage” (maybe might guy or someone like that) and they have lots of arcs of just naruto and this group making everything to regrow the leaf village and avoid anyone of knowing; so they just close the fire continent or something like that until they get themselves back up.

Meanwhile sasuke kills itachi, blah blah. But remember that after all of that crisis now that the village has been reduced to nothing danzo and his root servants want to take over the fire land; so we have an arc of naruto in wich while he is doing everything the anbus try to take over and he discovers with sasuke all of the shit danzo made, so then in one arc naruto is trying to capture danzo while sasuke is trying to kill him. Naruto knows that he joined the akatsuki and so they have an epic battle over danzo.

In the end danzo gets the upper hand and is about to kill sasuke bit naruto kills him before, not for anykind of friendship but because he sees it as an opportunity to calm the raikage and show the strength that the leaf has been missing (as you can see naruto has learned a lot, in the arc before all of this he learned how the whole country worked because he needed to reconstruct it, so he is no longer the empty head but he has already begun to be a respected shinobi).

In the end obito rescues sasuke and gives him the eyes of his brother. Naruto had summoned the kages to show the custody of sasuke and explain how the whole village was moving to show that they still had the power to be at the same level of the lands, but then obito appears and rescues sasuke. He needs to make the war so we get an awesome little battle of obito straight up kamuing all of the kages (may be he makes naruto unstable so the kages need to fight naruto and obito) at the end when the kages are taking a bit of the upper hand obito just knocks out naruto with one hit ore something like that and says -I didn’t wanted to just tell you that I’m madara uchiha, i wanted to show off- then he explains his plan and declares the war; he tries to take naruto but we get a clever move of the kages that stop him (maybe naruto regains consciousness and gives the final blow).

After that they make the shinobi alliance but they lower the rank of naruto because he just proved that he can’t control the kyubi and that he means a lot; then sakura comes back with tsunade who becomes hokage again.

They send naruto to the turtle island with bee, but naruto now actually knows what’s the whole war (he isn’t just a kid saying LETS KICK ASS NOW) so he just wanders in the island and bee teaches him to control the kyubi. But now is a whole lot more emotional because he has been only concentrated in recovering the leaf village, and he didn’t had the time to cry and talk to someone. So meeting kushina and just talking with her allows him to forgive sasuke, sakura and try to make a plan to win the war.

Meanwhile sauske makes his sasuke things, only now he is upset because of how naruto treated him, but he can’t admit that even though he was a dick he always looked at naruto and was glad that someone actually cared for him, not because his eyes, body, actions, but because it was an actual concern of a friend for a friend. So he confused leaves obito and goes in the search for naruto.

The whole war changes a lot, because they don’t have the people that died in the village every shinobi that we have known and seen how the have become a whole lot powerful and mature the few soldiers of the leaf become super valious for the war because everyone had to be at least chunin in the whole recovering the leaf arc. We could see children like konohamaru fighting, even though they are young they are really powerful, giving the war a lot of topics and curious new battles.

Naruto gets to controll the kyubi and makes the whole clony thingy, sasuke in his search of naruto encounters itachi, they both go to kabuto and have the epic battle, but instead of having a boring and confusing guide of izanami itachi just says all the things that he wanted to say to sasuke, and sasuke tells him how in all of his vengance he always found confort in the thought that he had someone waiting for him, and all of that juicy feeling stuff. Itachi teaches him that he can still have that someone, but he had to apologize and stop being a bitch, so sasuke goes to naruto.

Naruto and sasuke meet, they fight while arguing until they just leave everything and accept that they are friends, and both want to save the leaf, so they go but first they get sakura (because of her training they both ACTUALLY recognize her power and want her in the team) we could get a little orochimaru redemption arc in wich he revives kakashi and the four hokages. And all of them go to the front line.

In the front line madara was revived, and they are having all of that battle with the statue and everything, they revive the ten tails and all of that.

Now we have a battle of the team 7 with kakashi, we see awesome stuff because they all have become great shinobi and we see how they learn to fight together and kakashi is just amazed and leaved a bit behind.

Óbito fights kakashi but kakashi convinces him to join them giving a whole speech of how naruto and sasuke went on a worse path than them but they were able to become friends again (bit we NEEED that to happen after the awesome battle they had in the original series just because is Awesooomeee)

Obito joins naruto and them, but madara uses black zetzu to control him so he can revive, all of that good stuff. Madara becomes the ten tails jinchuriki and the battle begins and everything goes as it went. We get a bit of explanation about the six paths sage life and mother, but instead of making her alien, she is a force of nature, and madara now has become said force and wants to be whole again (in his thoughts this is the way of making perfect peace, by making everyone the same thing).

They seal madara (they made him a lot less op, and also all of the characters have been buffed a lot, so even though the battle is SUPER difficult they survive and win because of everything that they have learnt).

And now…. Naruto and Sasuke go to the final valley, sasuke says he enjoys to be the friend of naruto but he believes that he will make the village the way danzo made it to be, or some thingy there. The point is that their points clash and they fight to be the next hokage. Again epic battle and in the end they both lose their arms and try to be nice and cool with each other and rule the village together.

The end

How was it? It’s my first post so I’m worried that is súper big, anyway, if you enjoyed and want more just tell me a book, anime, manga, story and i will make an alternate universe or something like this : D Goodnight
