Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto Shippuden S21
What a tender intro omg also why is this filler so well animated
The introduction of modern technology will never not be funny to me. Kakashi on a laptop. Gaara sending emails. What has the ninja world come to 
I know it’s just superfluous background motion but that angry little cat design was amazing. Takes me tf out 
Hello again New English Iruka Voice time to feel slightly uncomfortable 
Doesn’t Inuyasha have a monopoly on this baby with a red ball imagery
Why! Is! No one! Making sure! Naruto is fed! He’s a baby!!!!!!
Naruto and Sasuke were such adorable children my heart
SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THE FAMILY WHERE ONE OF THE CHILDREN IS JUST A FROG? WHO IS DOING THESE BACKGROUND ANIMATIONS?????
In case you thought I wasn’t being literal:
Tumblr media
[Accompanying dialogue to this image: “Did you hear the rumours that Lord Fourth died because of him?” WHO IS THIS FROG CHILD WITH A VENDETTA AGAINST MINATO]
This ninja cowboy music seems slightly misplaced but okay
Hiruzen. U r the literal ninja president. Naruto is foraging in the forest for food bc no one is taking care of him! How r u like ‘Hahah I’m hungry too :D’ 
“The things that we inconsequential humans worry about are often very petty indeed” “You’re right” It’s Philosophy Hours ft. Pre-Schoolers 
“Are you sure these mushrooms are safe to eat? “Won’t know ‘til we eat ‘em” HIRUZEN PICK UP THE PHONE 
SCREAMS FIVE YEAR OLD NARUTO JUST JUMPED OFF THE HOKAGE MONUMENT AHHHHHH
I miss Neji :((((((((((((((((
“Please make sure that you look after Neji” show us Neji’s mum you cowards!!!
“You have to be more positive, and confident!” Nejiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii my boy
“I wish that I could switch places with you, big brother” There’s a lot to unpack here and I’m wildly concerned about all of it. This episode ought to be titled Konoha Desperately Requires Child Welfare Programs
Making an mini-episode which largely depicts Neji’s tragic backstory and centring its ending on Hinata seems like an odd angle to take
 “I’m alone. I don’t have anyone, but I never cry” NARUTOOOOO
KJHFKJHG THIS NINJA BASEBALL OUTRO I LOVE IT 
SASUKE USING HIS SHARINGAN TO CHEAT AT BASEBALL I WHEEZE
Also not that I don’t like Genma but why is he a central figure in this ending. Has he had more than a single conversation with Naruto in his life
Lmao @ Sasuke and Itachi’s child versions going back to having their adult voices. Pick a lane SP!!!
“Things in season are always cheap and tasty” “Oh, is that so, Sasuke? Hahaha” Sasuke learning about the ninja economy
“We’re going to visit your mother’s family” Two questions: 1) Aren’t your families the same family (eep) and 2) Don’t they all live in the same part of the village
90% of this dialogue is recycled from prior episodes except delivered more slowly and it’s a little confusing 
Itachi sure knows a lot about cooking for an eleven-year-old 
Sasuke being a clumsy child is such a cute character detail ahhhh I love him so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
“[Confused laughter] You want to be like me?” What a Mood Itachi
Sakura’s hideout in the woods is so sweet yes 2 semi-normal childhoods
Poor little Sakura already concerned about her appearance they never let girls live do they
“You’re really cute Sakura, don’t hide it” Ino and Sakura are the most adorable children in the WORLD I love their relationship 4ever
“If she’s cute like you say, then I would love to meet her” who will stop all men
“But Ino, aren’t you good friends with Sakura?” “No, not really” Okay not to project but. I have a lot of thoughts on this narrative 
GASP Inner Sakura’s first appearance!!
Tiny Team 7 is all I need in the world honestly I would watch a whole show that was just those three growing up
I have only just now noticed Suigetsu as third baseman. This ninja baseball game and season in general raise so many questions
Noooo Gaara don’t cry you are gonna be so loved in the future
Rasa, can I just say, from the bottom of my heart, I’m going to yeet you into the sun
“When I look up at the sky, the pain inside my heart feels a little bit better” He’s like 4!!!!!!! >:(
“Instead of a mother, you get to have me, Lord Gaara” Yashamaru: Self-Diagnosed Mumncle 
Ngl baby Gaara’s recollection of Karura is nothing like she looked like
I really don’t care for this new Iruka voice I just keep listening to him like ‘that’s not the sound of Naruto’s dad!!’
I will admit him spooking the sleeping children was cute I don’t know why I always find that so funny kjhgkjhg
“Let me buy into this fight” who taught seven-year-old Naruto to gamble
Christ alive the implication that Naruto has been doing the sexy jutsu since he was seven who will put this boy in ninja therapy
If Orochimaru had just continued to be Jiraiya’s long-suffering friend he might be half-endearing but alas he is fecal matter personified 
“Come on out, I made plenty, so you might as well stay and eat” Hjgjfjgfgffg I’m not sure what’s funnier about this scene the implication that Obito and Rin both independently followed Kakashi home without noticing each other, or that Kakashi did notice and rather than question this turn of events was just like “Guess I should make more fish”
“When you’re older, do you think you’ll become a chef” I would pay to see the AU where Kakashi becomes a professional chef why couldn’t that have been his Road to Ninja persona 
Ngl I spent the first half of Kakashi’s minisode wondering if Sakumo was dead or simply too depressed to take care of Kakashi and I think dead is the less upsetting outcome 
“It’s no fun when you’re not around, Kakashi” Obitooooooooooooooo
I’m not saying it’s suspicious that Sakumo is given two different depictions of his grave site in the anime but Sakumo fucked an alien and I stand by that statement 
All I remember from Sasuke Shinden is that a character called Sasuke “Sassy” as a nickname and if they do that in the Eng dub I won’t survive
“[Deep sigh] Alright Sakura, what is it?” Fhfjhfkjh what’s your damage Kakashi can’t your kids come to visit when people start exploding
God Sakura and Ino’s relationship is the realest.... she went to the Hokage bc her gal was worried abt her family friend and then comforted her from her loss... the looooooooove
Hinata not to devalue your work in any way but why did u collapse after poking one (1) man in the chakra point isn’t gentle fist based in taijutsu
Fhjfhkjhf I’ve seen that gif before of Kakashi knowing that Sakura was thinking about Sasuke but it’s still funny
Sasuke just hanging in the woods with kittycats what kinda redemption journey is this lmao
Ehehehe I’m still not over the fact that Sasuke recognizes Sai’s jutsu and Kakashi uses it to communicate like there are six members of team 7 and this arc PROVES IT HELL YEAH
I can’t believe I forgot the circus ninja oh my god 
“There’s good money to be found for performers like us” MOVE OVER EXPLODING HUMANS WHERE’S MY EPISODE ABOUT THE NINJA CIRCUS 
Everyone always commenting on the pupils and sclera of the Hyuga and Uchiha but nobody caring about Old Man Demon Eyes from the Bamboo Village:
Tumblr media
You’d think at this point no amount of genjutsu could traumatize Sasuke 
They’re leaning wholeheartedly into the ninja cowboy music
That is not how I thought they would pronounce “Sassy” this show is full of twists and turns
“What about reviving the Uchiha clan? You’re the lone survivor right?” said Chino, inquiring about when Sasuke was planning to have vaginal sex
“You really think you’re going to find him inside that seriously scary looking cave?” GASP IT’S TENZO TIME
AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE IT’S MY BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
“You’re Sasuke, right?” asked Yamato, as if Sasuke had not provided the memorable introduction of stabbing a seasoned ANBU in the shoulder as a sixteen-year-old during a dramatic reunion with his team
“It would be easier for us to keep things coordinated, if you sent us progress reports as you went...” Okay not to be that gal but I love that Tenzo and Kakashi are an “us” in this mini-lecture about how Sasuke should call his father (Kakashi) more often
P sure that’s Yamato’s last speaking role goodbye sweet man we knew ye well
“So does this mean that you trust me?” GO TO JAIL OROCHIMARU
Every time that Orochimaru touches Sasuke I want to leap through the screen you leave that boy alone!!! Go! To! Jail!
Sasuke having to explain his social life to Taka is a dynamic I never knew I needed. What more do I want from Naruto than frames like this:
Tumblr media
"By showing everyone that Sasuke isn’t in the Hidden Leaf Village and that he’s still out journeying around the world, it reduces the possibility that the village will be harmed” “So are you saying that Sasuke has to keep travelling forever” “That might be so” I can’t believe the entirety of Taka came up with a better explanation for Sasuke staying outside Konoha than Kishimoto himself
“Compared to me, the likelihood that Kabuto will return to evil is extremely low”
He still helped kill......... 40,000 people????? Okay dude
I CAN’T BELIEVE OROCHIMARU IS ACKNOWLEDGING HE IS STILL EVIL!!!! GO TO JAIL!!
I’m gonna pretend I don’t see Tenzo following Stranger Danger and he’s on vacation on a beach where he belongs
Fhjkhfkjhfkj what’s the meaning of this Orochimaru you’ve looked the same since you were 25:
Sasuke: No. She’s older than I am
Orochimaru: [Soft gasp] What?
Man I remember vaguely Sasuke being involved in this fight based on the Tenzo novel scene later on but hoo boy I do not like this
SCREAMMMM TENZO TRYING TO PROTECT PPL IN THE AREA HE’S HELPING
“I can’t make direct contact with him, so I better go now” I hope it is because you filed a restraining order, Yamato
“To increase the rarity, what I’ve even done is, had all but one person in a clan killed” at this point En Oyashiro is just trying to bait Sasuke
God I love how righteous Sasuke is being rn like this is the kind of dismantling of oppression I wanted for him instead of sad murder times
This battle is bonkers:
Villain: Looks like you brought a sword to a dodgeball fight
Sasuke: Looks like you brought a dodgeball to a magic eyes fight!!
Well I certainly breezed past this part of Sasuke Shinden hello Fushin
I find it hard to believe that anyone but Naruto could best Sasuke rn 
I keep joking that those eyes in the sky look like Tenzo but I’m right and I should say it
What a long, drawn-out and slightly suspicious backstory for Chino (looking at you, Fushin of two personality types)
“But now you’re still able to travel freely... and that is all because you have people who love and protect you” Team 7 cutaway with closeups of Sakura and Naruto, Narusasusaku game strong
“For the Leaf’s nourishment, your entire clan was absorbed by your village’s Roots” wow what a shitty time for such an excellent pun
Unbelievable kkhkjhfk and by this I mean completely believable:  
Chino: Please explain your change of heart re: village corruption
Sasuke: I got a boyfriend
Unbelievable x2:
Chino: KILL ME 
Sasuke: Consider this.... you have.... boy who is friend. Good enough
Chino: Wow Sasuke, you’re right
Lmao @ Kakashi proudly announcing that Sasuke is about to enter an unsanctioned jutsu fight in a bet to free enslaved people how did this letter go “Dear Hokage-dad-Kakashi, I am writing to inform you...”
Even funnier: If Tenzo wrote the letter bc Sasuke is shite at contacting people: “Dear Kakashi-senpai, Brace yourself to be worried and proud—”
“Are you Sasuke’s...” yes Chino, whatever the end of that sentence is, you’re correct
Huh I could’ve sworn at least a good chunk of these freed people go to the Leaf. I didn’t make that conversation up. I have discussed it many times!!! My poor Tenzo cut out for more logical story lines I guess 
Omggggggg the Raikage is telling Sasuke about Naruto’s most vulnerable Sasuke moment..... the love!!! Is this the only reason they invited A lmao
En Oyashiro joining Rasa and Hiashi in the Bad Dad Club
I’ve said this before but Naruto and Sakura going on a date to talk about Sasuke is the most legit representation for their relationship I’ve ever seen that’s it that’s what them dating would be like 
“You’re just like a one man police force” lol @ them cutting out the fact that Sakura said this bc Sakura’s not allowed to have individual connections to Sasuke and also just like....... how much Sasuke still wants to be a cop kjhgkjhgk baby stop
I’ve belatedly realized that Kakashi types to the beat of the intro music and it makes me giggle
“The adult world can be complicated” is that ur way of saying ‘nepotism’ Kakashi
“I’m startin’ to get a belly” “I don’t want to hear about all that” PLS
“You two are really the only ones who are special to me” aw Shikamaru
That slap was A  Lot, Temari, surely there are better ways to tell Shikamaru you want him to be your boyfriend
“You don’t really think that Sai has—” “Well, he is very innocent.” 
Kakashi about Sai: He’s the baby of the family
Sai: I’m the oldest and most experienced of all the youth???
Kakashi: I mark ur ages by when I got you xoxo ur legal age is 3
I’m not sure that that’s the intonation I expected for Hinoko but I guess that’s on me for stereotyping teen girls hahah
“That’s my ninja way” “Our ninja way” I feel like this is shinobi flirtation
The outro with Little Team 7 fading to Big Team 7... I have but one heart
Also the implication that they took a photo immediately post war jhgkjhgkj. Kakashi still has a barely healed stab wound and twenty years of trauma. Sasuke and Naruto both just lost an arm. Also who brought a camera to the battlefield. Who took this picture. (Tenzo waking up from a 224 episode coma: We gotta take a family photo)
“You might consider yourself a member of Team 7, but I wonder if they think the same of you” [Naruto voice] Believe it!!!!!!
“If we just kill the lookouts, it’ll be like easy to get past the checkpoint” okay calm down Soku
Lmao Shikamaru struggling to deal with rebellious teens jhghjkg why are the anime episodes I watch so fitting to my own life
Man not to get 2 real it’s fucked up that Soku fears peace wyd militarism 
I don’t really believe that Soku is deserting the village but it’s a good tactic
[Panning to the bird scene at the beginning of this arc] We call that foreshadowing
Komori’s judgement seems to be clouded by his lowkey crush on Soku
“I’ve just been having these really bizarre dreams lately” that’s PTSD Shikamaru
“Feudal lords are always [tyrants] no matter where you go” then why.... do you have.... feudalism.......... [Tobirama screams in the afterlife]
Not to judge these guys so much but like.... ur ANBU and a veteran ninja surely you should have a disguise after faking your death??????? Kakashi, Iruka, what shinobi standards are you teaching exactly?? U didn’t even change ur hairstyles???
“Something similar happened to me as well” what are you... are you talking about when you pretended to be asleep during the Chunin exams because that’s not the same thing as sleeping under a pile of corpses Shikamaru 
NOOOOOOOOOO SAI WHY ARE THEY HANGING MY ANGEL FROM A CRUCIFIX 
AHHHHHHH I don’t like seeing Sai like this, Kakashi’s right he’s a baby!!
“Let’s just say I’ve found the place where I belong” Fhdjskhfksjhf this is definitely Root Code for something because Kakashi uses this line on Tenzo in his Tsukuyomi dream
“Then why didn’t Naruto come to get me? You and I have never been particularly close, so why were you the one who came here?” LMAO SAI ‘you’re not on my list of eligible rescuers Shikamaru 😒😒😒😒’ 
“Fret not, to me this is but a trifle” said Ro, lying prostrate on the ground in between groans of pain (same)
I mean... Gengo makes some pretty compelling arguments abt the shinobi system
“The alliance of nations that the Leaf is currently a part of... is only going to maintain a dark, tenuous peace” I mean... Gengo’s right even if he is a dick
“Lord Hokage told me everything... and I had a hell of a time getting it out of him too” “I don’t want to know what you did... I don’t even want to imagine it” JHGKJHGKJHG I WANNA SEE TEMARI INTERROGATING A FORMER ANBU, KAGE-LEVEL NINJA I LOVE IT
Wait are these last twelve outros dedicated to each of the rookie teams + Team Guy bc that would be adorable
JHGJHGGHGJHG DO WE ACTUALLY GET TO SEE TEMARI YELL AT KAKASHI
Update from 3 seconds later: We don’t but Kakashi’s “Euh?” sound as she knocks down his door is still very funny
“Friendship is useless” “If that’s true, then why are you crying right now” he’s been taking Sasuke lessons in his spare time
“Do you know of a man named ‘Zabuza Momochi’” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“These are my only friends” said Sai, about two giant cartoon lions 
Sai’s genjutsu scene was actually much sweeter in the book bc Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi and Yamato’s chakra were all protecting him inside his own mind but I don’t mind my boy getting a hug
HAHAHAHAHA WHAT IS THIS CUTAWAY TO NARUTO BATHED IN GOLDEN LIGHT ANNOUNCING “RAMEN” LIKE IT’S A WHOLE SENTENCE OKAY STUDIO PIERROT U NEED A BREAK I GET IT
“What in the hell was that?” that was also my question Shikamaru
Shikamaru with full conviction: To be lazy.... that is my dream 
Hahahaha it’s Ninja Teen Romance Hours I guess
“Oh, you don’t want to [go out on a date]?” No that’s not what I’m saying” [walks away] TEMARI PLS
“Going on a date without a strategy, would be like trying to fight a tailed beast unarmed” [Nodding] “You have zero chance of winning, that way” I suddenly understand Kakashi’s dating life a lot more
They really rely on you being aware of Naruto the Last huh gjkhgkjhgk there’s been no mention in any of this filler of Naruto and Hinata even being in a relationship to this point as far as I remember
Fhjkfhkjhfkfh poor Iruka none of the kids know he’s President of the Naruto’s Dad Society
“I know I’m supposed to be striving to get ahead in my career, but there’s also a part of me that really wants to just continue teaching kids, one on one” Irukaaaaa <3333333
Looool even as Hokage, Kakashi just drops out of nowhere to give cryptic life advice and then leaves
Smash the statue, Tsukune, don’t let the establishment tell u what to do!!
“Eating ramen everyday isn’t healthy you know” am I to believe that Kakashi, the man who told Naruto, ‘if you're going to be a ninja, you need to eat your vegetables’ is on a ramen-only diet?? Falsehoods
“And it’s all thanks to you Iruka” khjhgkjhgjhg alright.... you win this round KKIR shippers
WHO IS ANIMATING THIS SCENE IT IS BUCKWILD??? There is no character model to speak of, most of the kids don’t have noses, everyone’s upside down or spinning around, and Iruka is... hiding in a frog sign???
Tumblr media
There is no English translation of this caption???? EXPLAIN JAPAN. TELL ME YOUR FROG SECRETS YOU KNOW I LOVE FROGS [INSERT PICTURE OF TENZO HERE]
(Update I looked it up in the sub and the caption offers no more insight. “IRUKA UMINO, AROUND 30 YEARS OLD. STEALTHILY”)
“This is for Hinata, so let’s all try our hardest” Kiba loves Hinata MOST
You know how if you pause in the middle of an animated action, you sometimes linger on an in-between image that looks goofy because it was meant to add to the motion rather than be focused on? This whole episode is animated like one of those images
It’s okay Lee the only dumbbell Naruto is fixated on is Sasuke Uchiha
I know don’t usually post so many images in these liveblogs, but I really need anyone reading this to see the Leaf Village’s semi-canonical Unofficial Mascot Konorin:
Tumblr media
He is??? The love of my life???
“I don’t even have a boyfriend and train every day from morning til night” yes you do. His name is Neji Hyuga and he’s very alive and he’s a jonin sensei and he will buy you all the knives you want after he takes all of Hiashi’s money and redistributes it. In this essay I will—
You see what I mean??? Neji wants to be there for Tenten (and Lee)!!!
Tenten: What would Neji do if he were here now
Neji: [starts manifesting]
“It’s you since you’re a taijutsu specialist, but Naruto and Hinata aren’t” yes????? Hinata is???? She doesn’t use weapons but Gentle Fist is entirely taijutsu??? Why does everyone keep forgetting
KHKGJHKJHGKFHKJHFKJ I CAN’T GET OVER NEJI JUST. MANIFESTING ABOVE LEE’S BED TO GIVE HIM SHITTY WEDDING GIFT IDEAS 
“And don’t forget: Hyuga” Neji........ what.... does this mean!!!!!!!!
Why say “Neji” like that Orochimaru and in fact why say anything at all [Konan voice] I’m the Hokage now, the entire criminal justice system is on its way you are going to jail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really can’t believe that the Naruto writers looked at Tenzo’s role in Naruto SD and decided “let’s do that.... but worse” 
They animated?????????? A smaller Lee??????????? Into Lee’s mouth???????????? As if the animation style wasn’t enough. I need a minute
They are really going full Naruto SD huh??? Cut away skit like a ‘genjutsu’ scne. Lee and Guy playing a married couple and Tenten a baby. Neji in drag. This is a choice
“How can you misunderstand Neji so much” “Even if it’s only as a ghost, I’m sure that Neji would appear” I need. Several minutes
Fhjkhfkjfh Shikamaru’s vision of Gaara, Bee, Kakashi and Tsunade hanging out at this fancy restaurant. Is this who he thinks Kakashi’s social circle is these days (he might be right)
“Okay, I’ll hear you out!” Is this implication of this scene that Temari thinks Shikamaru’s idea of a first date is marriage... and she’s WILLING TO GO ALONG WITH THAT. TEMARI PLS
“Hey Ino, why would you go out of your way to make something I love? Bc she looooves you Sakura
“Sakura, I thought the same thing” GOD JUST GET MARRIED
“It’ll be too late once we go in, I could get all caught up in the mood or something like that” wait........ does Temari think Shikamaru wants to get married or fuck???? Or both??? OH MY GOD
Gaara: Naruto’s getting married.... without meeeeeeeeeee
God I love Gaara’s Blank Period hair it is truly careless and happy hair
“His ramen’s extravagent?” JKGHKHKJH everyone in the Leaf Village trying to convince Gaara that Naruto’s taste is incredibly obnoxious which is true but not in the way being described 
Kankuro what’s your damage let Gaara buy a nice and personal present for the love of his life 
Every time I think this arc can’t get more ridiculous it exceeds my expectations:
Tumblr media
[Vaguely horrified accompanying dialogue: “The Raikage—” “—Will do the Hidden Cloud Dance?”]
“Well then, Gaara is just going to have to do the Hidden Sand Samba” Ah. Of course. The Hidden Sand Samba. Why didn’t anyone think of this plan before
Gaara is blushing because his new dream is just to samba dance with Naruto into the night
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Teuchi giving Naruto an “all you can eat forever” coupon that’s cute our sweet boy is so loved 
Gaara: My wedding gift to you, Naruto... is me :)
“I’m just disappointed that we aren’t going to get to see you dance, Gaara” you know what that’s fair Kankuro me too 
Hahahaha Shino dissing Kiba’s plight for becoming Hokage to these random kids
I can’t pay attention to anything this ninja cat is saying because they’ve got Naruto’s voice and it is very distracting
There’s something to be curious about how it would be if Kiba married into a family that has a contract with the Uchiha lmao
Literally the girl who Kiba is supposed to be in love with is given Hinata’s voice #kibahinarights
“Oh, just take it. Money means nothing to me” the Beekeeper is truly one of the strangest characters in the Naruto universe just conceptually. Why are they wearing a giant bee stinger on their butt?
LMAO @ Kiba having absolutely no self-doubt whatsoever. Goals!!
Shino becoming a teacher after the war is actually one of the post-699 futures I like, good for him!
Iruka sweet man Naruto has compared you to a father like 1500 times have you not overheard him one (1) time
Kakashi is such a dumb stubborn bitch trying to find a way for Naruto to have a happy wedding... I love him
“This is my fault, I never taught him how to treat women! Not that I even really know about that kind of thing of course” Iruka Umino confirmed canonically gay
“I just have to bow my head a little” KKIR: 2; Me: 0
I love this tradition of Hokage boys bowing their heads for cooperation between villages yesssssssssssss
Outro for the whole OG Team 7.... I’m fine everything’s fine I’m good cool cool cool cool cool
The implication that they just sell Kakashi wigs in the village... amazing
I know this is about to be an emotionally poignant moment but what Naruto’s presence is reminding is that the only word he has said in the past 6 episodes is “ramen” LMAO
“I’m going to have to apologize to her for raising you as a such a thoughtless, inconsiderate man” raising you... RAISING YOU..................... TRULY PRESIDENT OF THE NARUTO’S DAD SOCIETY GOD BLESS IRUKA UMINO
LOOK AT THIS CRYBABY NINJA THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PARTS OF KONOHA HIDEN WAS HOW IRUKA KEPT BURSTING INTO TEARS OVER NARUTO EVERY OTHER MINUTE THIS IS WHAT BONDS LOOK LIKE
God..................... the Team 7 lover in me just despairs of this final episode bc they’re all separated and also Tenzo needs justice 4 being Kakashi’s co-wedding planner it’s in the book I read it!!!!
I will set aside my feelings to recognize that Kakashi looks very handsome
Goodbye Naruto you were certainly an experience and I mean that in every possible intonation

Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto Shippuden S20 (Pt. 4)
Hashirama’s “:O” face at everything is so endearing
Hagoromo is now really the time for a family story there are three children and a sad old man in need
“It was a few thousand years ago” Zetsu just said it was 1,000 years ago how bad are you guys at telling time 
I wonder how Hashirama feels about Madara being his Soulmate™
“I want make sure [the Tailed Beasts] don’t fight amongst each other, and that people don’t use their powers for evil” better 2 have tried and failed I guess 
“That’s because a toad’s dream is destiny” weird flex but ok
“So then, will everything I do now be meaningless?” “Don’t waste your time worrying” Ffgkjhfgkjh damn I didn’t ask for a lecture on fatalism in my Naruto liveblog
Lmao @ this dude revealing his thievery scheme after talking to Hagoromo for 0.5 seconds what makes him think everyone will be on board with it 
“I only want you to go away as soon as possible” ah looks like Hagoromo made a friend lmao 
“If we make it too sturdy, you’ll break your bones when you try to destroy it” they actually did a really good job of making Hagoromo charming like consider me charmed I wanna hear abt ur ninja way
Hahahah I admire Futami for not bringing up the horns for the entire length of time it took them to build the bridge 
Futami: Hagoromo-sensei gave me a high-five one time and it touched my heart so I formed a cult around him
Wait if Hagoromo only gave 8 disciples chakra are the nine of them together responsible for fathering all the shinobi world what kind of Gengis Khan fuckery
Minus the Hyuga, who, for some reason are moon aliens, I guess
“Throughout this long history men appeared, one after another, with the desire to use the tailed beasts for their own evil purposes. And that turned the tailed beasts against mankind. Anyway, back to my story.” Hahahaha did Hagoromo just go “(A/N: Fuck Obito and Madara lol)”
Unbelievable you’re telling me there was someone who wanted to get with this old man with horns and three eyes who leads a cult and you won’t show me WHO where is the justice 
OH HEY FUTAMI HELPING RAISE THE KIDS I GUESS? WILD
Mmmm I love Ashura already 1000/10 endearing impulsive baby
Some filler storyboard artist who I respect beyond reason: But what if... we added.... a dog
“It might even be bigger than yours” please don’t tell me they fished Zetsu out of the river
"I didn’t realize you thought so deeply about [chakra being used as a weapon]” “Yeah, well” “But then again, what will be, will be” what kind of parenting is this Hagoromo kjhgkjhgkjhg
Indra, 10 years old: I am concerned about the ethical impact of my innovation
Hagoromo: YOLO, son ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“I’ll be watching you” Is that the voice of......... Pubescent Zetsu 
LMAO IT IS
These kids are really emotionally unprepared for the boar considering they were following boar tracks into the woods 
ARE YOU SHITTING ME THEY EVEN USED THE SAME FILLER DOG NAME LMAO WHO IS WRITING THIS 
I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY KILLED THE DOG I’M SO MAD
Wow @ them having Indra invent chidori instead hkjhgkhg poor Kakashi
Indra awoke his sharingan over losing his dog I cannot believe this how are dogs the central plot device of multiple arcs
“Whatever is in this village belongs to everyone - that’s the law” wow along with fatalism this arc is also teaching us about the practical failings of communism 
“The law is still the law” where’s the post that says Sasuke is ethnically a cop. Because that’s this arc
Not 2 be that gal again but Indra’s voice is also nice on the ears he has inherited his grandmother’s kekkei genkai of having an attractive voice and a terrible moral compass
...............kekkei grandma 
“Looking into his eyes reminds me of my mother’s eyes” I was kind of joking about the kekkei grandma thing but fair
“At that moment I felt that I understood for the first time why heaven had blessed me with two sons” have you ever considered your eldest son is mean in part because you make comments like this 
“What will the two of you do when you are out in the world alone” wow Hagoromo is giving his kids some kind of High-Stakes Bell Test 
Hahaha I like Taizo I hope they don’t do anything to him but they probably will because he’s had so much screen time
HAHAHAHA I LOVE THIS SQUAD it’s the first ninja team and the boy is the healer!!!
Ashura: OH NO I’VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO GENJUTSU
Kanna and Taizo: WE GOT U BUDDY WE GOT BATS
I thought I was going bananas for a sec but the intro did change lol 
Poor Tenzo I think he’s been officially discarded from OPs RIP
Side note: Having a Naruto blog has made me so wary of Kakashi and Sakura standing next to each other I don’t trust the ppl on this website to be normal for a second RIP x2
“They’ll suffer, sure, but everyone dies eventually” okay calm down Taizo
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s possible or not, because I’ve decided to do it” I admire Ashura’s blind optimism lmao
Not to poke too many holes but why would the water in the well not be affected by the Divine Tree
I take my comment about healing back ludicrously all the men get to display chakra natures and the women can only display glowing yin chakra hands booooo
Omg there is a Tenzo after all in an ED at least!! This is the first time I’ve seen all three members of the Naruto’s Dad Association in one place!!! Bless up
A shot of them standing all together!!!! My heart!!!!!!!!
SASUKE AND NARUTO’S GRINS AT EACH OTHER I WEEEP
[Hagoromo as Kakashi voice]: TEAMWORK!!
I was very much expecting Indra to go crazy and kill those two guys but wow that was a scene
“Enough to make you fall in love with him and follow him all the way here” At least Ashura gets like a real wife instead of Hagoromo’s ‘ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ she dead’
Hagoromo: Indra’s a dick because his eyes are red trust me it has nothing to do with my parenting I’m a chakra scientist
“Indra, just what is the meaning of this” it’s a temper tantrum lmao
Was it really necessary to kill both of those guys Indra one best friend death usually suffices for mangekyo my dude
Minato joining Kakashi in the club of Boyz Who Jutsu Was Plagiarized
Hagoromo really has absolutely zero hesitation to attack his son and you wonder why Indra has a complex
“THIS IS THE POWER OF OUR BOOOOOND” he said, as he punched his brother in the face with a thousand wooden hands (mood)
Indra’s Lightning Teleportation Jutsu is really doing The Most the Raikage is not nearly this dramatic about it 
Can you... just.... declare that your soul will be reincarnated? Is that how that works? 
Also. Who slept with Indra?! U made him out to be like. Very Not Okay. But he’s the forefather of the Uchiha?? WHERE ARE THESE CHILDREN COMING FROM TELL ME WHO IS BANGING THIS OUT OF CONTROL FAMILY
Hahahahaha I’M SO READY FOR THIS RIDICULOUS TEAM 7 TRYING TO UNMASK KAKASHI EPISODE BRING IT THE FUCK ON
I knew the Sukea voice would be different but omg I’m still thrown
“S-kay-a” is really not how I thought that would be pronounced wow 
“If I’m able to capture this Kakashi guy without a mask on, it’ll be the biggest scoop since the Leaf was established” a little arrogant Kakashi but okay kjhgkjhgkjhgjhg
This is such an adorable and weird bonding exercise of Kakashi teaching his kids how to break into Konoha’s archives I’M WHEEZING
I would pay money to see Kakashi explain what he was doing to all those dudes in ANBU who probably thought he was intimidating as all fuck catching him a wig with three twelve-year-olds breaking into his own file
“Who cares what I look like anyway!” THIS IS SO DUMB I LOOOOVE IT
“I think that a woman might’ve drowned right over there on the river bank” HINATA!!!!! UR TOO NICE TO BE ENLISTED INTO THIS SCHEMING HAHAHA
Oh I remember seeing reference to this scene booooo do they really have to make it weird all the time
This concept is even MORE ridiculous in the show bc it expands beyond Team 7 to all the other Konoha rookies like Kakashi how much do u enjoy teasing the children that this is how you’re spending your day
HAHAHAH Kakashi is lucky that the person who knows him best has face blindness and can’t call him out for his schemes 
Okay not to betray my own brand but ᵏᵏᵍᵃᶦ ᶜᵘᵗᵉ
They really designed a nicer apartment for Kakashi just so they could animate his silhouette in the shower STUDIO PIERROT PLEASE
Fhkjhkjfhkjhkf that last scene made me so uncomfortable I don’t really like seeing Kakashi’s mouth while he talks it’s weird
You know I spent a lot of this interlude chanting main arc main arc in my head but alas now that we have arrived I’ve remembered that the war arc climax is a mess
“If my chakra runs out, I’m done” seriously Obito.......... how are you here
Can you imagine if Naruto actually died.... what would that even mean for this series I can’t imagine 
“I already marked this space, so I can hide out in my time-space” I want to know how Obito “marks a space” is it like a jutsu or does he just have to nod at it and go “my space now”
 I would also pay money to see what Obito and Sakura talked about when they had to hang out in Kamui for a solid two minutes lmao 
“So you’re friends with sensei huh?” “Yeah it’s complicated but I think we’re cool now” “Yeah, same with us and Sasuke” “Sorry about that” “I don’t forgive you but thanks”
“You alright?” define ‘alright’ but also Obito’s never been alright a day in his life, Sakura 
Uh oh foreshadowing to the heavy gravity space where Obito d*es
Okay maybe this is the part of me that is still clings to their Part I friendship but Sasuke helping Sakura stand really brings out my inner soft bitch
 “It would’ve been helpful if we could’ve received this advice a bit earlier” Tobirama’s bitter about sitting through five episodes of filler
Tobirama: Why haven’t u been helping this whole time
Hagoromo: It all comes down to Madara’s magic pelvis—
“This man lent me his power and that’s why we were able to get here” does Sakura not know Obito’s name either khgkjhgjkgh
How many times will we watch these same two flashbacks of Obito’s life
Looks like Kakashi brought a knife to a taijutsu fight LMAO
God Rin is such a good friend to Obito and he repays her by literally defacing her grave 
“Am I powerless to do anything but sit here and watch” it’s not really your fault you can’t fly Kakashi tho u could try throwing some kunai or smth ur not a one sharingan pony
Ddkjhsdkjhd why does Obito get a line worrying about Naruto’s death but Kakashi doesn’t he’s spent the past two days trying to kill Naruto
I’m still emo abt Kakashi trying to die for Sasuke that’s his soooon
“Rin... this time, let’s spend some alone time together, just you and me” Why phrase it like that, Obito
"Why save someone useless like me” Kakashi get some therapy
“A fool full of only mistakes” it’s hard to disagree with Zetsu when they’re flashing back to every mistake Obito has ever made
Where’s the graphics set where Obito goes ‘admittedly I lost my cool here’ because that’s what that flashback was 
Update: found it
“Don’t cry, Obito, you’ll just get laughed at” this fantasy is an indication that Obito has no real comprehension of how fucked up Kakashi was by Rin’s death
Can you believe that Rin still dies in Obito’s jonin AU like....what. It’s not even like “AU of what I want” it’s like “AU where I learn how to cope with trauma” 
Also was this just an out for not designing an adult Rin bc he’s been thinking about Rin endlessly for like three episodes straight so..... what up with that
It’s still so fucking funny that Iruka’s in Obito’s jonin fantasy like when did they meet did he just absorb secondhand Iruka appreciation from Naruto 
“But, if you screw up, I won’t hesitate to step up as a candidate for Hokage myself” yesssssssss let Kakashi be the playful menace he truly aspires to be
Gjghjkhgjhg Obito’s “euuuuuuuuehhhh” when the paperwork dropped was funny
Sasuke’s face when Sakura punched Naruto was also v funny 
Honestly to be real for a second Obito imagining himself as buddies with Team 7 makes me mad u’ve done nothing but make these kids’ life TERRIBLE until today babysitting license REVOKED!!!!!!
Am I a hypocrite for enjoying AUs ft. Obito? Mayhaps!!!
“You told me that saving you was pretty much the same as saving the whole world, remember?” (Well.)
“I’d say, you did your best” You know that post that said it makes sense that Rin said this bc she’s a Scorpio. I’m still upset about it
You know... Naruto’s “the coolest guy” (“nothing but awesome”) comment about Obito is a direct parallel to “Bravest man I ever knew” in HP and that’s why, if I were to meet either adult man, I would dropkick both of them. In this essay I will—
“It’s kind of annoying seeing [Kakashi] all stiff and useless” u right Obito
Kishimoto pick up the phone I just want to talk about that rabbit bijuu design 
“A Susano’o? But whose?” DAD’S HEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRE
Kakashi with Six Paths Power REALLY feeds into my theory that Kakashi is Hagoromo’s transmigrant 
THAT’S MY TEAM READY TO SAVE THE WORLD TOGETHER!!!!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 KAKASHI GETS HER VULNERABLE AND THEN THE BOYS ATTACK WHILE KAKASHI GUARDS THEIR BACKS AND SAKURA FORCES HER INTO PLACE THIS IS WHOLEASS TEAMWORK
“I really love you guys” YEAH HE DOES 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Okay arc over haha right guys we’re good now RIGHT GUYS??
In part, Kakashi jumping around to save his students feels very much reminiscent of Part I’s “MY SENSEI SENSES ARE TINGLING” swoop and scoop that he and Gai loved to do
Lmao @ Kaguya spitting Madara out like he’s a bad-tasting vegetable
Coming up with an OP specifically for VOTE2 is so extra but I kind of love it the Diver parallels!!!!
Sasuke is SUCH a liar abt his attitude towards Team 7 - more specifically towards Sakura and Kakashi bc he has already granted that he cares for Naruto
Sasuke: Comrades? I don’t know her
Also Sasuke: Constantly urging Sakura and Kakashi to get to safety and actively intervening when they’re not
“Honestly at this point I don’t think anything could shock me anymore” Sakura really needs a hug and a nap
“I shall be sure to ask Obito tell me that tale in the afterworld” the real question is if Obito will still look 12 when he takes Hagoromo on the harrowing journey that is his life
Kakashi truly has endless love in his stupid ass heart Obito’s like, “Hmmm... whoops sorry 4 committing mass murder” and Kakashi’s like “Hehe, we all mess up sometimes :) See u in heaven”
Madara and Hashirama really did invent being in gay love huh
WOW I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO TEAR UP BUT KJHFKJHFKJH MY BABY BOY SAYING GOODBYE TO HIS DAD HE IS THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SWEETHEART
“You’ve now finally settled things with Madara” Tobirama has been waiting for like a hundred years for his brother to get over his ex
Hagoromo: Naruto’s your new conference room congrats kids 
Mmmmm I don’t like aaaaannnnnny of this
“You’re suggesting that I enjoy a roooOoomance” why say it like that Sasuke
I genuinely think this is the maddest that Kakashi’s ever been at Sasuke that boy is very, very grounded
“I, too, had two children at one time” OMG KAKASHI OFFICIALLY DESIGNATED TEAM 7 DAD BY HAGOROMO (ur miscounting tho Kakashi actually has four (4) children)
“I think I shall let Naruto handle this” said Hagoromo, and everyone who encountered any problem in this series ever
I’m very distracted from Sasuke’s dictatorship speech by the fact he looks so much like an alien. What is UP with his eyes they never look like this???? Why are they so far apart and narrow and angled
“Your blood will be the last that I shed” what r u just gonna keep genjutsuing ppl Sasuke? Could just keep the Tsukuyomi on then, homie
It also plays into the Hagoromo and Kakashi are related (spiritually or literally) that Hagoromo is equally as useless with advice to him lmao
Kakashi: What should I be doing, sir?
Hagoromo: Sometimes I like to pray :) 
Fjkkjgkjhgkjhk Sasuke claiming that Naruto is his only bond never ceases to amaze me like Sakura and Kakashi are RIGHT THERE ghkjhgkjhgkj u have been protecting them this whole time while they shout how much they care abt u. Just admit u have a crush on Naruto and go!!!
“I know your heart well by now. And you mine” Sasuke u unintentionally romantic dumbass
“Finally decided to kill me, huh,” said a thrilled Sasuke, taking a lesson from the Kakashi School of Very Much Needing Ninja Therapy
This entire fight is the Life or Death equivalent of this tweet:
Tumblr media
Lmao one of these boys lost a tooth I want to know which of them has a dental implant 
Omg............... Iruka what is going ON.... u are suddenly v pale and also I think ur VA might be different could they not get the same Iruka or has he just forgotten how Iruka sounds
It was real unclear until this fight that Sasuke had any of the same powers as Nagato
“Now I can finally be alone... farewell, my one and only... friend” again... Sasuke... u can be in love with Naruto and still have other friends!!!!!!! Ask Naruto he has tons of friends he’s not in love with*
*Disclaimer: they are all in love with him
The idea that everyone Naruto’s ever cared about is spiritually trying to help him kick Sasuke’s ass is p funny
“Sakura and Kakashi are still there, they’ll figure something out” cute that you have such an assload of faith in your loved ones in ur life-flashing-before-you moment Sasuke but with what jutsu lmao
“I began to see a shadow of my own family in Squad 7″ YEAH HE DID  😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I still can’t believe that Kishimoto really wrote that all it took for Sasuke to return to Konoha was Naruto explaining to him how love and empathy work 
Omg Sasuke laughing...... I missed your laugh you precious boy
“Release the infinite Tsukuyomi once I’m dead by transplanting my left eye into Kakashi or someone else” Fhjfhkfh it detracts a little from the significance of Sasuke offering his eye to Kakashi to add the “someone else” but I guess they gotta make the syllables match up
Why is every Uchiha’s long-term plan just to die before they have to deal with the consequences of their actions
“I’m sorry” “Sorry? For what” “For everything” “You got that right” Sasuke I think u need to treat all of ur teammates to ramen 
“It’s finally back to the way it was” Kakashi loooves his baaabies 
TENZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
Omg they included Guren from the filler arc in this crowd hahahaha
Gaara and Naruto enveloped in that same beam of light like Kakashi and Tenzo in the Tsukuyomi kghjghkgh SP said gentle gay rights
“I’m forbidden to talk about it” Team 7 would RIOT if Sasuke was locked up in a cell like that fuck you
Hahahaha I wish I could see the scene where Kakashi and Iruka decided to ambush Naruto with study materials 
Okay this is definitely a different Iruka ahhhhh weird I don’t like it
Iruka bursting into tears whenever Naruto talks about his progress.... same
I 100% believe that the vast majority of the reason Kakashi became Hokage was to pardon Sasuke but also that prison scene still seems appalling to me STOP MAKING THINGS WORSE THAN THEY WERE SHOWN TO BE
"Maybe next time” is super funny in the context that he does take her on his next mission outside the village and comes back with one (1) whole baby
Sasuke’s introspection usually seems to amount to “Birth is a curse and existence is a prison... oh hey Naruto <3″ 
The moral of the story seems to be that the best way to show someone you love them in ninja language is by telling them you want to keep punching them for the rest of your life

Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto Shippuden S20 (Pt. 3)
I wonder if going after Karin’s Tsukuyomi bulb was happenstance or whether Tobirama went “I smell an Uzumaki” and had at it
“Just be quiet for a bit” How dare you speak to your father this way Sasuke, Kakashi does nothing but love you
“EVERYONE WILL OWN A DOG. GO GET A DOG, HOKAGE’S DECREE!“ you’ve got my vote, Kiba
Mirai as a baby is an absolute unit and I love it
Shikamaru, getting down on one knee in front of Temari: Will you not marry me?
You know what. All these dreams are extremely realistic. I buy it. A teenage boy would totally dream about kicking his friends’ asses for fun even if he had the opportunity to do anything in the world. 10/10 believability 
Sai dreams about being told he has a nice smile and being twirled around by Naruto my boooooy 😭😭😭😭😭😭
“[My Sasori transformer] will be the guardian deity of the Sand” Kankuro pls
Omg Temari’s dream is so cute she wants her little brothers to need her
God the fact Gaara’s dream is about having a happy childhood PICK UP THE PHONE RASA I JUST NEED TO TALK
“Madara, don’t you dare talk about the Uchiha. The only one who has that right, is my big brother.” But he did... murder them, Sasuke. That is a thing that happened. My dear. My dude. He done did it.  
Having read Itachi Shinden none of this should be shocking but FUGAKU REALLY YOUR SON IS FOUR WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS
“Listen Itachi, never forget this sight” well he sure won’t now that you’ve given him CHILD PTSD FUGAKU
“We finally have peace, and we must do our best to maintain it” Hmmm.... must you, Fugaku? Is that a thing you must do?
“What is life, anyway?” Damn my existential dread didn’t kick in at least until I was in school, Itachi
Sasuke was such a weird-looking newborn I love him
I wonder how the English dub will deal with the mild implications of inc/est between Itachi and Izumi
Please Mikoto your son is like 6 why are you having him babysit
God I am so used to every version of Itachi having the voice of a grownass man that hearing a child-like voice even when he is 6 is almost off-putting lmao
Full offence Obito but why do you have to be such a little bitch
“Oh good, I knew that you’d be alright” HE’S 6 FUGAKU
Why is Naruto just sitting in a basket on top of his father’s grave??? Who let you do this? Hiruzen what is wrong with you??
“I’m glad that you didn’t die” an accurate representation of Itachi’s social skills at all ages
DFhsdjfhkdsjhfk I love that Itachi has accidentally become these kids’ leader 
AHHHHH I guess that’s Hana next to Itachi I wanna see the cat ninja and dog ninja fight 
“If the fighting can be stopped, I’d like to stop it” Shisui <3 
Itachi’s sweet tooth is so goddamn cute ahhhh what a little nerd
Hhgfkhjfhl SASUKE’S PAW ENCYCLOPEDIA THE PREQUEL THIS IS WHAT I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED
“I mean, [ladies] are clueless” “How dare you insult my woman” Turns out the alcohol this cat was drinking was Respect Women Juice
God I love Minazuki-sensei he’s such a mess
“No they blew away in the wind” guess Itachi hasn’t picked up his snitching tendencies yet lmao
Baby Sasuke has acquired a younger voice too I guess. It is real late in the game to be establishing these lmao
Obito. I’m. Stop???? Please. Is this how Kakashi felt during the war
God I love Shisui the tiny ninja detective they really have left off some of the cooler aspects of being a shinobi in all the wild and flashy jutsu like during the Land of Waves arc when Kakashi kept noticing relatively mundane clues
“Shisui picked up on how I felt right from the beginning” welcome to empathy Itachi
“I’ll hand this intel over to Lord Hokage, and he will deliver a just and fair judgment” I like this ANBU vs. ROOT dichotomy but bold of you to assume Hiruzen won’t ultimately let Danzo do whatever he wants lol
Damn what the shit how does Shisui know who the foundation already isn’t he like 12 
The animation of this arc is nice but also so weird they really did make Itachi and Shisui’s eyes like half of their face
These wholeass adults getting between by two prepubescents lmao 
“A teleportation jutsu has no mass” wait WHAT I have so many questions Shisui what does that MEAN 
“I want to you to think of me as your older brother” HELL YEAH HE DOES
Ffgdfkghkjh what an abrupt voice change between age 8 and 11 Itachi
How many times have they animated these same goddamn Itachi scenes 
Holy shit it’s like they tried to tell the story of the Itachi Shinden novels and then got bored halfway through gfkhgfkhgkjh
“I’m exhaAAAUsted from my mission” Itachi pls why say it like that
“You have the Mangekyo as well?” Fugaku had a friend???? Unrealistic. Blocked
THEY KIDNAPPED NARUTO??? I DON’T REMEMBER THIS IN ITACHI SHINDEN
Genjutsu but I don’t remember that either ?!?!?! Doesn’t Fugaku spend all of Itachi Shinden being emotionally distant and sending Itachi mixed moral messages
Who is the Fugaku hater on this storyboard staff lmao I’m crying
I have a lot of thoughts about this art direction honestly why is everything in the shadows why are the character models so weird why is Itachi suddenly outside in the lightning for his murder discussion meeting instead of inside the council room if you had to shout over lightning people could hear you 
“I challenge you to the high jump” “You’re no match for me” Sasuke you’re the most obnoxious seven-year-old in the world I love it
“There’s something that I’d like you to help me with” a very casual opener when you’re proposing the murder of your entire clan but okay
They really leaned into the horror movie aesthetic huh fair enough 
I have some objections to register about Izumi’s death like both options are weird but at least in Itachi Shinden she wasn’t humiliated by Obito begging for Itachi to save her she had a degree of awareness and it was an impactful if strange scene
FUCK THE TOBI VOICE I KNEW IT WAS COMING BUT I’M WHEEZING
Cute new ED but also the idea of Tobirama giving anyone a fistbump amuses me immensely 
“Who would’ve thought that that scuzzy bearded jerk would’ve been able to use a taijutsu like that” RUDE but also ‘scuzzy’ jhfjghkjhfgj
Omg that’s so funny they literally gave the former owner of Zabuza’s blade the same voice
This doesn’t make any fucking sense how could Juzo have the executioner’s blade when Zabuza would be like 21 when Itachi was 13 oh my god 
“The Hidden Mist doesn’t keep any prisoners” unsurprising but interesting
Is this meant to imply that Juzo is killed and then Zabuza immediately finds the sword and starts a coup because that’s hilarious
Wait how does them fighting the Mizukage make any sense isn’t Yagura under Obito’s control lmao who wrote this
Did Itachi just.... accidentally cripple the Mizukage omg [Zabuza screams in the distance]
Hahahaha I know it’s supposed to be evil but it’s really funny that Kakuzu killed his partner for being too slow
“I wouldn’t know how to cater to your moods” kjfhgkdhfgjh Kakuzu just got wrecked by a thirteen-year-old LMAO 
“I’m not sure what to do with you... whether to kill you right now or find a way to use you” KILL OROCHIMARU, ITACHI, IT’S GONNA SAVE YOU A LOT OF TROUBLE 
Why the hell would Kabuto be hanging out near the Akatsuki anyway isn’t he in a long term infiltration of the Leaf Village lmao or can Orochimaru summon him like a snake
On what basis does Pain decide these partnerships did Kisame and Sasori take a babysitting course or smth
The cutaway without the “This... is art” scene is almost funnier because it implies Itachi just had to flash his eyes at Deidara and Deidara was like, “HELLO AKATSUKI I AM HERE”
“I wouldn’t mind giving you a taste of my art” [insert ninja sex joke about Deidara’s mouth hands here]
Deidara really should not be old enough to be here by this point in the narrative but this entire arc has been wacky timeline wise
Man it must be fucked up to fight a puppet version of your own corpse
“What I really wanted... was to get a hold of Itachi’s body” you are the definition of stranger danger Orochimaru
From what I remember the video games had Kakuzu and Orochimaru approaching Hidan and not Konan and Itachi but I’m game for any Orochimaru erasure lmao
 I’m pretty sure all of that blood was Hidan’s?? World-building whomst
“He licked Kakuzu’s blood” did he though?? Show me his wound Itachi
OMG they’re really heavy-handed with Leaf!Itachi as if we did not just watch a bunch of episodes of Itachi caring about his village like honestly look at this:
Kisame: So even you have feelings for your birthplace, is that it?
Itachi: No. Not at all. [Sasuke, I hope that you’re safe.] 
(Me too Itachi 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭)
“It’s been a long time... Saaasuke” could you say his name a little less weirdly please Itachi
You really can’t get mad at Kakashi for teaching Sasuke chidori Itachi like maybe if you would murder less people Kakashi would feel a little less overprotective
God was the only point of animating and voicing these scenes again so that Itachi could mentally apologize every twelve seconds? You know what fair enough, anxiety and depression be like that sometimes
“You still have people who’ll protect you” Oh plot twist Itachi was actually writing a “Nice” list instead of a “Naughty” list and Kakashi, Jiraiya and Naruto are all on it
Oh yeah I kind of forgot that this was all supposed to be like a 5 minute span for Sasuke’s flashback of Itachi’s entire life lmao
You know.... it’s real unclear to me how Obito wakes up from his trance lmao he may not be in a cocoon but he’s certainly exposed to the light
“Be careful. We’re surrounded on all sides by four of his shadows” “Yeah I know that” Yeah, Naruto knows it, but Sasuke’s warning where the Shadow Madaras are entirely for Kakashi and Sakura’s benefit BC HE WORRIES MY BABY BOYYYY
“This chakra is even way stronger than Ten-Tails” I really heard “Tenten” there and I was like, wait what did I miss with Tenten kfhkjhgkjhg
OH GOOD ANOTHER UCHIHA FLESH MOUNTAIN JUST WHAT WE NEEDED
“They’re turned into White Zetsu” I hate this nonsensical bit of world-building it made more sense and felt less weird when they were Hashirama clones like what the fuck
Oh I can’t believe this is making me feel almost bad for Madara did Zetsu really edit the Uchiha Stone Tablet’s Tsukuyomi section to say “Peace Plans” ain’t that how like the CIA entraps people 
“Hashirama... where did I go wrong” We’d need a lot more time than you have to unpack that Madara
“Countless nights passed” I mean. Was it countless nights. Because I think it was. A couple hours. This war arc spans like two days. I have spent more human hours on this arc than they’ve spent ninja hours in this war
“I can’t believe such a person existed” neither can I Sasuke it’s almost like she was invented specifically for this arc
For real Obito no offence but like why aren’t you dead it just doesn’t make much sense khkjfdhkjhgkjh
Hmmm not 2 be that gal but Kaguya’s voice is v pleasant on the ears 
“Sorry to be so rough with you, Obito” Kakashi. You loving, kind, dumb bitch. He stabbed you THREE TIMES in the past two days you really owe him like -1000 apologies
“This is also one of those times where your body just moves on its own” SASUKE CALLED OUT FOR LOVING HIS COMRADES
“I’ve got to get to Naruto” I love your dedication Minato but I feel as though the loss of both of your arms makes helping more difficult
Kakashi is not NEARLY as surprised about this levitation thing as he should be. I think as this point he’s just like. ‘This might as well happen’
All other things aside Kaguya’s really fun to look at damn
Okay okay okay not to look for too much logic in this ninja show but don’t both Naruto and Sasuke have Six Paths chakra why can only Naruto float is a metaphor for Sasuke’s fall from grace
“I am Kaguya’s child” I can only imagine a Game of Thrones-eque shadow flying out the hooha situation
“Just before the seal took hold, she gave birth to me, in order that she could be restored” I can only assume Kaguya fucked Bitterness and Regret and you know.... fair enough
I gotta tell you Zetsu being the primary narrator of this arc is jarring
Tenji seems kinda nice it’s a shame something terrible will probably happen to him
Say what you will about SP’s animation inconsistencies they can animate some beautiful-ass skies
“Is there anything that you desire” Get u a man like Tenji
Fellas is it gay to sit under the stars with your handmaiden who adores you in comfortable silence
“Even now you’re not scared. That just makes me like you more” take a shot every time a man is Like That (bah dum tss) 
“Do Not Touch Me,” wow Kaguya mood
I will clarify I said that BEFORE she exploded the men gkhkjfhgkhh
Tenji, that Aino lady is your subordinate are you really gonna leave her with the creepy That man u are not the man I thought you were
“Just tell him, and I’m sure that Lord Tenji will forgive you” to be fair Aino you could’ve elaborated u were just like ‘yup she killed them’ and left it at that
WOW I RESCIND ALL COMPLIMENTS TO TENJI CALM DOWN DUDE
When life gives u lemons use people as fertilizer for ur infinite lemon tree I guess
Are you telling me 1) Gamamaru has existed since the DAWN OF CHAKRA and 2) He knew all about this Tsukuyomi shit just like. Kept it on the DL. WHAT KINDA WORLD-BUILDING
Okay but for real did the Otsutsuki clan stem like.... all the clans, because there’s the Kaguya clan (through Hamura I guess?), and the Hyuga clan definitely through Hamura, and then the Senju, Uchiha, and Uzumaki through Hagoromo like just how many people did your kids sleep with and for that matter how long ago was this
“A real talking toad! Think people would like it if we caught it and took it home?” Why are Hagoromo and Hamura the cutest things in the world this is the sibling content we deserve
“You’re just a snake oil salesman, and not a very good one” oh I think I love Hamura oh no I would love a character who gets stuck on the moon 
Take a shot every time a woman exists to die and make a man sad 
“She fell in love with the ruler of this land and in time she became pregnant with the two of you” notice that at no point does Gamamaru say they got married can u believe Kaguya invented premarital sex
You know none of this goes against mine and Sloane’s Kagumo theory
“How can you see so far into a toad’s heart that clearly” Gamamaru and Hagoromo’s interactions are killing me
How much time has passed for Hamura’s hair to grow that long
Hamura @ Kaguya: BROTHERS BEFORE MOTHERS
HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED FOR HAGOROMO TO DEVELOP THIS BROW RIDGE SAGE LAND TAKES A TOLL 
Tenji doesn’t even appear in this flashback about love and betrayal it’s just Kaguya being bitter bc her gal Aino died they were in lesbians together
Every so often I’m reminded that Kishimoto has a twin brother and I wonder what he thinks about making the twins fight
“You enabled me to awaken the mangekyo sharingan and rinnegan” how do u even have words for those things. Didn’t they just happen right this moment
Wow this is all very Little Shop of Horrors, Momma feeds the tree with people juice and in turn it wants to protect her from harm
“I split the Ten Tails into nine souls” SOULS? HAGOROMO CAN... JUST MAKE SOULS. COULD HE POINT AT GAMAMARU AND SAY “YOU ARE TWO FROGS NOW” AND THAT’D JUST BE TRUE?
“We won’t be that far apart,” said Hagoromo, just as his brother was about to teleport to the moon
Side note: Maybe ur crops were failing bc without the moon the tides are all out of whack and you know, the moon was apparently just invented right now
“Time passed, and so did Hagoromo” I love this particular literary device
“Time after time I’d approach the reincarnates of Indra and Ashura” okay so we’re supposed to be down for not only regular reincarnation in Naruto but Indra and Ashura ONLY BEING BORN TO THE SENJU AND UCHIHA CLANS REPEATEDLY WHAT WHO WROTE THIS
Does this mean that people Naruto and Sasuke every 50 years????You’d think the Land of Fire would just. Get used to it
“Just with that alone, a thousands years passed” well at least we have some idea of how much time it’s been since Kaguya era lmao 
Ur telling me that this horseshit happened bc Tobirama doesn’t know to leave dead bodies well enough alone
SHHHHH I PREFER THE ZETSU BEING WEIRD HASHIRAMA CLONES
This montage of Zetsu taking credit for everything Madara and Obito did is not appreciated lmao take some responsibility for your actions!!!!
I’m gonna keep harping on this for the rest of the war honestly like where is the ACCOUNTABILITY
“So your teen rebellion continues” LMAO UR NOT WRONG
“I know that this could be our last hurrah, but we gotta give it our best shot” not much of a plan Naruto sweetheart but fair
Tag urself I’m Kakashi’s look of despair at his hormonal students
“And Sasuke? Sorry that my sexy jutsu didn’t work” I was not prepared for the sincerity with which that line was delivered
The Sad Old Man™ energy radiating off Obito is... Immense 
“We’re all ready to die” R U THINKING OF RIN BC SHE WAS READY TO DIE OR BC UR READY TO SEE HER EITHER WAY IT’S SAD KAKASHI
“I want to thank you for helping me out. And for helping Sasuke” “No, there’s no need to thank me” this is the first time Obito has been right about something since the age of 13
“I’m not going to waste time on speeches,” said Obito, in the middle of a dramatic speech 
Minato..... how did you chop the branch.... with no hands to pick up a kunai???????? What kind of yoga contortion was involved
What I imagine the subtext of this scene to be:
Hagoromo: New old son!!!! I am dad now
Hashirama, whose dad was Butsuma: [choking back tears] Okay
Tobirama: I also hate our father
They’re all taking to this “demi-god pops out of the bottom half of dead ex-comrade” thing pretty well but to be fair they’ve had a complicated day

Lmao @ Shikamaru flirting with Temari before greeting the Kazekage #Priorities 
Why bother giving these kids the data from those chunin exams they were there they ARE the data
“You'd know more about the reason behind the interruption of the final rounds and its chronology” Shizune fucking calling out the Sand omg ‘remember when u tried to murder us? I do’
“She hasn't changed a bit” and u love her for it Shikamaru
Why is Kakashi even here lmao he doesn't have a team of Genin this time around it's just because he's competent and adorable I guess
The Team 7 outro I weep SP is really stabbing me in the heart
Fu is a handful and I love it
“You want to find some way to bond with the rebels?” historically that's actually worked out pretty well it seems
I'M SCREAMING ARE WE GONNA SEE SAKURA'S CHUNIN EXAM
“She just might be tougher than [Shikamaru]” Ino <3 Sakura 5ever
KAKASHI COME INSPIRE YOUR BABY GENIN SHE DESERVES THIS
I feel a little ripped off that Kakashi didn't get to be the Angel of Cheering People Up but I'm proud of Sakura either way and I am i n  l o v e with the idea of watching her Chunin exams
They were so excited to see Naruto it's a shame he's not real
This timeline where everyone takes the Chunin exams a year before Naruto comes back implies that there were at minimum 9 Leaf Chunin made in a single exam
It also puts very little distance between Neji making Chunin and Jonin but I guess to be fair Kakashi was made a jonin at 9
Hjghdskhfhlvhl Team Guy Dynamics:
Tenten: We're being split up?
Lee: We'll be on our own for this?
Neji: [already walking away]
SHIKAMARU INVIGILATES LIKE A SUPER VILLAIN WHAT A DRAMA HOE
“Thanks for having my back” Literally half of Shikamaru's screen time is flirting with Temari I love it
Neji why do you have to be so dramatic do you really need to use jutsu as visual aids in your explanations
THIS BITCH FIGHT BETWEEN NEJI AND THE SAND SHINOBI IS SO GREAT
Sand Siblings @ Gaara probably: Will you stop talking about Naruto for like ten fucking seconds
Neji stepping in to save his girl Tenten my heart
Fu is so cute omg “I want to make a hundred friends”
I'm willing to believe Neji can recognize a jinchuriki's chakra right away bc of his fight with Naruto
“Dwelling on the misfortunes of birth is meaningless” same Shira same
I have a hard time believing Sakura couldn't take down that scorpion without Fu but plot I guess
I CAN'T BELIEVE FU JUST ASKED THE KAZEKAGE TO TAKE A BATH WITH HER
“Gaara!” “Sorry, just thinking” Fuck how often does Temari have to shake Gaara out of thinking about Naruto lmao
Kiba has to spread his legs as widely as possible mid-air his philosophy is truly ‘Dicks out for Shinobi’
Ninja who are about to partake in infiltration, loudly: Scatter!
I also have a hard time believing that a Byakugan user of Neji's skill would be so easily taken in by genjutsu
Honestly Team Guy is prime OT3 material their teamwork is amazing and they lift each other up constantly  
This is the second time in this set of exams that Team Guy has helped not only their competitors but also ninja from a different village the Leaf truly raises their babies right
“I wanna know which one's more valuable to the village... is it the boulder or you?” Still working on the charisma thing huh Gaara
Every mission Team Guy goes on:
Tenten/Neji: Lee how about we think about this before we start-
Lee: JUMPING INTO ACTION
“Please apologize to him!” I adore Lee
I'M SCREAMING NEJI IMPLYING THAT HE IS RIVALS WITH NARUTO INSTEAD OF LEE HE'S TRYING TO BREAK UP THE BAND
‘Hey Shira what's your technique?’ ‘Breathing really hard’
“Two Heaven scrolls. When should I break it to them?” Further proof that Dad!Neji would be ridiculous he has trouble breaking bad news to friends let alone babies
Kiba @ Hinata: Pay! Attention! To! Me!
I fucking love how Kiba has no qualms about anything gross like biting a slimy guy ‘let me at him’, breathing into my dog's nose ‘of course’, running around covered in dog urine ‘just a Tuesday’
These episodes have reawakened the inner Kiba/Hinata shipper in me
“Forget I ever mentioned Naruto okay?” omg I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Kiba blush before but the second he was called out about Naruto there it is
“Their persistence is extraordinary” this is true about the entire village tbh 
It’s not fair of you to compare your shadow clone abilities to a boy with a chakra demon inside of him Kiba 
“I can tell just how hard Naruto trained out here” so what ur saying is that u smell Naruto’s sweat
Kiba’s sure ready to brag for someone whose plan was just playing dead
“It’s the fault of the whole team” I don’t remember this guy’s name but I have a feeling that if Minato were alive he’d love him
“No you’re wrong it was me” Ggfkjghdfkghkd Kiba pls why are you like this
“Be nice and give us your scroll” tru Shinobi of the Leaf 
The Look(TM) Neji gives Lee when he gets Tenten in a bad mood
TENTEN’S HONESTLY WATCHING NEJI FROM THE BUSHES WHILE HE TRAINS LIKE HE DOES NOT HAVE THE BYAKUGAN 
“We’re able to fight so aggressively because we know that you have our backs” Guy is such a supportive sensei 10/10 (no pun intended)
“How did they turn out anyway?” “I have my doubts about them” LEE PLS
Real talk does the Akatsuki not know that the person hosting these exams is a jinchuriki he is the Kazekage
“Hi there, are you guys cliff-climbing too? Hang in there” KAKASHI HATAKE WITH SHITTY TRAINING PUNS COMING 2 SAVE MY LIFE 
Honestly Guy is the only sensei who seems to train his own kunoichi directly because both Ino and Hinata have clan-based jutsu and all of Kakashi’s babies were taken in by the Sanin
“The great nations don’t understand pain” like half the Leaf Village is orphans what more do u want from them Ajisai
“The Hidden Rain will soon be reborn” “Does that mean you’re gonna be more friendly then?” suffice to say the answer was no
Love my Leaf boys who won’t let people from other villages be attacked in an unfair way even by their own fellow villagers
Lee realizing that trash-talking insects doesn’t really work lmao 
Props to Lee for not holding a grudge against Gaara because he was both the reason he was injured before the last invasion and also one of the invaders  
“Sensei, have I gotten stronger since the last Chunin exam?” “Well, you should have” Inspiring self-confidence with Might Guy 
What a gentle and peppy intro it’s a change of pace from the intense bops
Thank you!!!!! I still don’t understand why Sakura couldn’t take out the first insect because she’s like the strongest woman alive
Omg Ino gently taking Sakura’s hand to heal it my bisexual heart <3 
“Where’s Shikamaru?” “He’s seeing off the delegates from the Hidden Sand” HE’S FLIRTING WITH TEMARI MY BOI
I aspire 2 be as committed to avoiding talking about my feelings as Asuma Sarutobi
Tsunade just doesn’t have the energy to entertain student rivalry lol 
“You just broke my concentration since you kept peeking over at me” this entire episode is incredibly gay and I love it 
“Because of you, I’m going to the place where I belong” this is ninja code for gay marriage (see: Tenzo’s infinite Tsukuyomi scene)
I LOVE SAKURA SHE PICKED A FIGHT WITH A SCORPION TO GET DINNER FOR HER FRIENDS MY KIND OF GAL
It actually makes complete sense that Tsunade never intended for Ino to become a medical ninja because it’s not Ino’s strongest technique but it’s useful on multiple levels 
I don’t know what Ino’s future job is supposed to be but I hope it’s Head of the intelligence division bc of Inoichi’s legacy
Honestly Sakura becomes even more impressive when you consider every battle she fought up until the war she was consistently depleting her chakra it’s a disadvantage similar to Kakashi’s sharingan and yet she not only managed to keep from being hospitalized but also was able to fight the Akatsuki and perform surgery
Honestly what on earth is this Sasuke business what a non-sequitor
Take a shot every time Orochimaru kidnaps a child
The fact that Sakura braces for impact bc she won’t even consider dodging at the cost of abandoning Ino’s body nfdgbfdgjdhfb
“I don’t care about the Chunin exams, I want to have my revenge!” okay Anime Bride of Chuckie 
“He’s probably forgotten all about you and has already found a better partner” Kurama truly hitting Naruto where it hurts 
I’m so proud of Sakura she is absolutely fucking adorable 
“Gaara, let’s get dinner” I’ve never heard those words said so intensely
Why is the animation on this sand so much better than the animation on literally anything else 
“Make sure he doesn’t step foot outside” lmao @ Gaara’s siblings trying to babysit him even though he’s the leader of the village
FURTHER LAUGHTER AT GAARA SNEAKING OUT OF HIS ROOM LIKE THE TEENAGER HE IS 
“This will take a lot more than gutsiness to overcome” [Naruto in the distance: How dare u Neji]
TEAM GUY CUDDLING OUT THE SANDSTORM I LOVE THEM!!!!
“I told you I was right,” said Mikoshi, as he began to drown in a pit of sand
Oh my god Fu wants to make a hundred friends to end all wars what a gal
“He sounds exactly like the kind of guy I’d like to meet and become friends with” that’s actually sad both because she dies before she can really know Naruto but he does meet her eventually through the tailed beasts
“Well, see ya!” jbfjhdkfjhgkjh Team Jonin Sensei is truly a beautiful thing 
It takes the Akatsuki like three days to extract a tailed beast and this dude is trying to do it in 30 seconds good luck my dude
Poor Neji he can’t stand to disappoint other people 
“We can’t just ignore someone in distress” Team Guy Saving People During the Chunin Exams Count: 4 <333
Take a shot every time someone on this show fantasizes about Naruto
“Yes, but that’s only because he’s a fool” this might be the closest Gaara has come to insulting Naruto in years
I want so badly for Neji and Gaara to be friends I love lonely ninja boys
"Get ready Fu, you’re next!” “Okay!!” I’ve never seen someone look so excited to get poked in the stomach
“I thank you, Neji. Never thought you’d rescue me” Team Guy Saving People During the Chunin Exams Count: 7
Take a shot every time Gaara tells someone about his crush on Naruto
“I wanted to try to heal the hurt I’d caused everyone” Gaara <3
Why are there so many heaven scrolls that seems to be all that anyone has
Gaara @ all the exam participants: You get to be a Chunin! You get to be a Chunin! Everyone gets to be a Chunin! 
OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED THAT AJISAI IS ONE OF THE BODIES OF PAIN I DIDN’T REALIZE IT UNTIL THE EXAM WAS OVER BUT THEY’RE ABOUT TO CONFIRM IT
Are we about to watch a montage of all the people who died since the Chunin exams 
Oh my GOD Fu trying to befriend Kakuzu RIP 
Well I guess Neji’s double promotion makes way more sense than him taking a Jonin exam like months after his Chunin exam but still what an arbitrary decision-making process

Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto Shippuden S18
“I put the entire burden on you Naruto” The Entire Burden is a nickname for Sasuke and I love it
Team 7 protecting each other while still making time to flirt is my aesthetic
In terms of actually using all three members in a cohesive unit Team 10 has by far the best teamwork in their year
Episodes since Tenzo has been missing: 117!!!! FREE HIM
Sakura doesn’t trust Sasuke and that’s good because she has no reason to do so
“I’m over it” said Kakashi for the first time in his life ever
Poor Minato he is being traumatized even in the afterlife 
“That was anticlimactic” amazing that even in times of war Sasuke still finds time to be a bitch
What is this out of continuity Frankenstein episode
I THOUGHT FOR A SECOND OROCHIMARU BUILT A FAKE SASUKE
Sasuke walks away from the village just like he walks away from his emotional issues
I can already tell this two episode arc is going to be very stupid but I love it because I miss Tenzo and Neji 
This doesn’t make any sense because Asuma died while Naruto was training to learn the Rasenshuriken so Ino, Choji and Shikamaru should living their most tragic lives atm
I liked it better when Orochimaru was making a fake Sasuke 
Naruto’s two dramatic dads coming to the rescue 
“Don’t worry, it’s okay. This is where Kakashi and I used to come to make out,” said the Gay Subtext 
I can’t believe they’re taking Akamaru but not Kiba kgjhkjdfhgdkfjhgkh KAKASHI HAS EIGHT DOGS OF HIS OWN
So Kiba is coming though this party seems a little large for this kind of mission lmao
I’m not sure what’s funnier that Kakashi is still reading Makeout Paradise or that he has finally stuffed his team members inside a box for their own protection
Me @ those horrified Hokage faces: ....Same
“Wait, who’s holding the front? No one’s theeeeere” KAKASHI PLS
If the Gaara handshake and Kakashi piggyback are the best two minutes of anime I’ve ever seen then this was definitely the worst two minutes the rainbow vomit and Neji’s fall from the sky I will never recover
Naruto’s heart eyes @ Gaara: SAME X2
I guess even Gaara is vulnerable to his Fifteen Year Old Boy Pride
“He was with me earlier but he ditched me” Orochimaru sounds like Sasuke’s bitter girlfriend
REVERSE SNAKE DIGESTION AND OROCHIMARU’S GIGGLE I HAVE NO WORDS
ITACHI PLEASE why would you be so highkey about protecting your brother literally his forehead said “Itachi” I’m livid and yet I’m also living 
Gaara the Hidden Leaf is burning to the ground what kinda priorities 
Filler Sakura is much more into Naruto than Canon Tragic Trashbag-Loving Sakura
I never thought I’d be eager to get back to tragedy and yet here we are
“That Sasuke... he’s bright” Sasuke gets the dad approval and Itachi gave Naruto the older brother approval so I’m not saying you’re supposed to get married but that’s exactly what I’m saying  
Well that’s gross Obito
“Time for my Raijin Flash Super Circle Dance Howl Stage 3″ WHO LETS MINATO NAME THINGS
QUIT TRYING TO SEVER THE PAST SASUKE ALL TEAM 7 WANTS TO DO IS LOVE YOU
“He’s just like a snake” Well this is a perfect time for Sasuke Uchiha, Snake Expert
Yikes @ Minato watching Obito being swallowed by his flesh prison
For about ten seconds I was rooting for Obito to live for Minato and Kakashi’s sake but surprise surprise he continues to be the wooooOooOrst
Every time Sasuke wraps Naruto protectively in his Susano my heart swells three sizes 
“Here, you can have this back” bless you Tobirama
Temari is so supportive she is Team Shikamaru all the way
“Smiling? Both of them?” Sakura is shocked to hear Sasuke remembers how to smile
Tobirama is increasingly embarrassed by the Namikaze clan nerds
Minato is taking the blame onto himself for all that became of his comrades just as Kakashi does, like sensei like student
KURAMA GIVING MINATO INSPIRATIONAL SPEECHES FROM WITHIN IS MY AESTHETIC
Tomorrow is Naruto’s birthday and also his parents’ deathday what a yikes life
Minato has saved everyone in the world even after his own death my Namikaze boys I love them so much
“What kind of child-rearing led to this?” Kakashi and Iruka’s lmao
This outro is literally Naruto and Sasuke running to each other on a beach at sunset bless this homoerotic animation studio
“I know you’re not an idiot” do u know that Tobirama 
The real question is who is worse at dealing with emotional intimacy Sasuke or Kurama
Are you honestly still bitter about Naruto’s success Sasuke come on dude learn to adjust
381 Episodes into the series and the Sage of Six Paths gets a name 
At this point there are going to be like 100 Shinobi left in the whole world
Shikamaru doesn’t deserve this 
Can I just say I’m glad Kakashi is in the intro? Because it gives me hope that he will not be Tenzo’d in this arc
“He seems to be in a foul mood” when is Sasuke not in a foul mood
IS EVERYONE ON THE BATTLEFIELD GOING TO EXPERIENCE NARUTO’S LOVE FOR SASUKE I’M SCREAMING
This is a pretty shitty way for Hiruzen to find out his son died
Everyone is pissed off and inspired by all the pain that Naruto has been through
Current list of Sasuke’s titles: Bitch, snake expert and Smart Boi
Fhfkgjhsjghsdkjgh Hashirama is the most beautiful person dead or alive:
Tobirama: We’ll assign the Tailed Beasts based on power balance but you’re required to pay
Hashirama: [whispers loudly] They’re not free?
Tobirama: Shut it!
“A Shinobi’s Dream” is 10/10, inspirational and beautiful episode I love it
“There’s no one more qualified than me to be Naruto’s advisor” I mean that was very poetic Shikamaru but Kakashi is at least equally adept if not more so
KAKASHI JUST SUTURED HIS OWN STAB WOUND THIS MAN IS TRULY MY DREAM
Hiruzen bossing Orochimaru around makes me happy in a weird way
My girl Sakura protecting the whole Shinobi world with her sensei 
KAKASHI COME SAVE YOUR CHILDREN THIS IS YOUR BAT SIGNAL
Sasuke keeps encouraging Naruto to keep fighting and coming back to his side it’s adorable
Kakashi’s babies are back together and he’s getting the live feed god bless
Obito’s dream of just being a ninja in the Leaf was very depressing
This must be Kakashi and Minato’s dream I’ve never seen so much teamwork at once
Kakashi and Obito with Team 7 vkcjbhkjvhbjk oh my goodness my feelings
Tiny heartthrob Kakashi is adorable and I love him
So the reason Kakashi got placed on Team Minato is because he couldn’t play well with others oh my rude little boy
Obito’s struggles being late to everything are #relatable
This is so funny though because when Kakashi’s babies went to the Chunin exam he literally brought Sasuke in like hours late
“A guy’s gotta have a scar or two get some cred” but how many scars must Kakashi’s heart endure Obito
Lmao @ Tsunade calling “hold” for Team Minato to deal with their Emotional Issues
In all fairness to Kakashi, Minato, he did his fair share of lecturing before you arrived
What is it with these boys and sitting atop each other for minutes at a time while reliving their memories together
“I’ve thought that this world is hell too” Minato gets to hear about the burden Kakashi has been carrying for twenty years
“So that’s where Madara is” you’d think the giant wooden dragon would also be a give-away
I’m very concerned about Gaara but I’m proud of him for making peace with Shukaku
I don't know if Hinata's voice actor changed or if she forgot how to do young Hinata or if I forgot how she sounds but something seems odd
My boy Neji!!! I miss him so much
Why are the Hyuga like this I need reformation #JusticeForNeji
Hanabi discovers that her sister is a peeping tom at the age of 5
The fact that sunset on the beach ending is accompanied by the lyrics “I shouldn't love you, no, no, no” as Naruto and Sasuke meet this is truly the Gay Agenda
So many Naruto episodes are just retelling Part 1 events through different perspectives lmao 
Hanabi WHY ARE YOU HAVING A FLASHBACK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED TEN SECONDS AGO
I have so many feelings about Neji and Hinata like he is her Excessively Pretentious Older Brother why is his life so sad!!!! Revive him and let him uncle her babies 
“I want to choose my own path without being influenced by anyone else” all of your memories are about how Hinata was being influenced by Naruto Hanabi but I understand your sentiment 
I know this is supposed to be a recounting of a very serious moment but I can't stop laughing about Kakashi's five hour straddle of Obito like sensei like student
“You just lie there, okay?” Kakashi is so gentle with the friend he was just trying to murder  
“What's that?” Hashirama should really be more fazed about being a face titty on his bff
Black Zetsu is such a dick Kakashi and Minato don't deserve this 
Madara: Family reunion?
Sasuke: How about I kill you instead
Madara: Why does everyone I invite keep saying this 
Real talk how does Madara even know what Sasuke's eyes look like if he HAS NO EYES CURRENTLY
This episode is called "The Hidden Heart" and I hope it's a joke about Madara's heart being hidden under his Hashirama face titty
In a way the Tailed Beasts are all like bickering siblings
Nothing livens up a party like auto-cannibalism
Kakashi, three seconds after declaring possible victory: I failed
Gaara and Shukaku's friendship means the world to me we've come so far my tiny murder child
FLY SAND BOY FLY LIKE THE WIND
Hashirama, after witnessing Madara kill literally thousands of people: Madara is fundamentally kind
Tobirama is already pinned down Madara now you're just being mean
“To be honest, I've been wanting to do this to you for a very long time now” Kinkshame Madara Uchiha
Tenzo's jutsu is strong enough to hold off the five Kage and I'm very emo about it
“He's using wood style... who is he?” I WONDER WHO IT COULD BE OF THE THE TWO WOOD STYLE USERS TO EVER EXIST IN THE UNIVERSE ONE OF WHOM IS DEAD
“I asked you what does it feel like to poo” Swirly still asking the tough questions over 17 years later
God bless Sakura shouting words of encouragement as she heals Naruto
Naruto and Sasuke vowed to die together and they are so hardcore committed both of their hearts stopped at the same time

My demands for Kakashi’s life post-war, as a person who has not finished the series:
He lives together in a tree-house with his husband Tenzo and they adopt every orphan in the village and they all play with his eight dogs (ideal)
Or, he becomes Hokage, beloved by all the village and honoured for his accomplishments. He is proud of his baby shinobi who are all excellent Leaf citizens. Maybe he finds a spouse and has a baby, maybe he doesn’t. He retires early to pass on his hat to Naruto, and becomes a dog hermit in the stylings of Jiraiya 
Or, he absconds ninja life completely. His name is known throughout all lands as the man who raised the next generation of greatness. No one ever hears from him again, but any and all former members of Team 7 occasionally receive crudely drawn pictures of dogs on their birthdays or other important events

Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto Shippuden S17
It’s ironic that Kakashi is criticizing the logic of Obito’s Hokage stone face plans when he wanted to keep his mask on when they were going to put his face up
Kakashi’s not even fighting back my poor baby
“These Leaf Shinobi, they all act so tough” YOU BET THEY DO
How has no one wondered where Tenzo is the duration of this whole war 
“Nine-Tails, you’re acting kind of like a captain” I can’t believe Kakashi is making friends with the creature who killed his sensei
I guess even massive demonic chakra animals need to rest sometimes
“I’ll make you Hokage inside this jutsu” Obito needs to stop trying to fulfill people’s dreams through murder
I am simultaneously so relieved and frightened that the Allied Shinobi Forces have finally arrived
Sakura my daughter goes straight to healing Kakashi as soon as she arrives I love her so much 
Logically Kakashi is the only one who stands a chance against Obito but I don’t think anyone wants to ask that of him
Ten-Tails is sporting quite a Look 
Jesus Christ haven’t Shikamaru and Ino been through enough
“Shikamaru and Ino’s fathers might say that as Shinobi they’re glad they died before their children” Neji is trying to comfort Naruto about a death that didn’t even happen to someone he loves
The Hyuga are so beautiful and dramatic bless them
I’m so concerned for Neji please don’t hurt him
NEJI NO
“You hold more than one life in your hands” Even Neji’s last words are about protecting Hinata RIP me but mostly RIP Neji fuck
But who is going to be Tenten’s old man husband 
Sasuke for once in your goddamn life please don’t make things worse
“It looks he’s a bit concerned... about Naruto” Even Orochimaru fucking knows about Naruto and Sasuke how much more Extra can they be
I’m not saying it means something that Ino says “optimistic love” and they cut from her thinking of Sasuke to her thinking of Sakura but  👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
“Which is why I keep telling myself, this time, I will protect them, but then I end up having to face the fact I couldn’t once more” Kakashi has tried so hard to protect everyone but especially his Baby Shinobi and everyone keeps kicking his heart in the ass
 Lee has lost his best friend oh no
Hinata’s so metal she just smacked Naruto’s shoulder back into place midair 
Fkfghdjfgkdfhg these cutaways are killing me always switching between Naruto and Sasuke after they’ve said something Gay
“Let’s go... to the place where all the secrets sleep” Orochimaru loves vague drama too like mentor like student
Sasuke misses the Leaf Itachi you woke up his little bitch heart bless you 
ARE WE GOING TO SEE THE HOKAGE COME TO THE BATTLE
MINATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
For once it’s actually unclear where Sasuke has made things worse or not but I’m very excited
“How, Mr. Orochimaru?” Minato’s so cute and polite event to his enemies
I love Hashirama he’s so beautiful and ridiculous 
“No clan feels deeper love than the Uchiha, and that’s why they suppressed and sealed it away” Tobimara has just summarized Sasuke’s entire life
Listen................. now that we know Uchiha power awakens because of love and Sasuke’s Sharingan awakened because of Naruto........ Sasuke’s love for Naruto is #exposed to the world
“I don’t care, for I am neither innocent nor a child” I mean at least one of those things is true
Sasuke is v bitter about everyone calling him ‘this child’
At this point who isn’t made of Hashirama’s cells it’s like [Oprah voice] “you get a skin graft, you get a skin graft, everybody gets a skin graft!”
Oh no I just realized Minato doesn’t know what Obito has become
Fdfghkjdfhgkfjhg Hashirama and Madara were so adorable 
“To make amends, I’ll let you throw me into the river” HASHIRAMA PLS
I’m not sure what I love more Hashirama’s depressive episodes or his unending snark 
Oh no poor little Senju what has he done except exist
“I considered Madara a gift from the divine” the gayest season of all bless
Madara and Hashirama decided to found a village like most kids decide to form a band
There are so many things which could serve as references to Tenzo but no one is trying to help him
I never expected to have so many feelings about Hashirama and Madara but here they are
[Hashirama as Flynn Rider voice]: Madara you were my new dream
Tobirama wants to propose democracy in a feudal state let’s be real man you created an oligarchy
Hashirama sits on top of his own face to meditate
All the Uchiha want is love and when they get it they’re like “no stop get away from me”
EVERY TIME:
Tobirama: Elder brother’s naivete
Hashirama: [soft indignant gasp]
If Sasuke’s doling out apologies for trying to murder his friends I can think of at least three people who VERY MUCH NEED IT
Madara is hyped af to see Hashirama he’s going wild with glee
Rin used to be a jinchuriki oh no “jinchuriki are treated the same way in every village” :(((
“I won’t be alone,” said Kakashi, before summoning nine puppies
Every time I think Kakashi’s life can’t get any sadder I am wrong
“This hole was opened up by this world of hell” jesus Obito you’re so dramatic
He’s just like Itachi trying to save everyone around him from themselves in the middle of a battle please don’t hurt this sweet and gentle man
I DEMAND that Kakashi live to see Sasuke change he needs this right now 
I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT THESE EPISODES ARE CALLED “HOLE” AND “SOMETHING TO FILL THE HOLE” WHO ALLOWED THIS WHO MADE THAT ACTUAL DECISION
Ten-Tails is completing with Orochimaru for grossest thing alive
“If we’re going to die anyway, we might as well die fighting” SAKURAAAAA
JKGFDKJGHFKJDHGDJHFKJ KURAMA LOVES MINATO
Why does Sasuke say “Sakura huh” as if hasn’t seen her for forty years it’s been like a few months at the most??
“I will become Hokage” SASUKE PLEASE
BOYFRIENDS AS CO-HOKAGE I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Literally everyone on this battlefield thinks Sasuke is Rosemary’s baby and Sakura and Naruto are just like “SASUKE IS OURS NOW GOODBYE”
Shino is so bitter about being ignored for three years that he’s loving the opportunity to make fun of Kiba
“Kiba, well I heard you loud and clear” Hinata sticks up for her bff’s unrealistic dreams
I was a little hesitant about Sasuke coming back to the village after listening to a story from the Hokage but fucking showing up in the middle of everything to declare he’s going to eventually run the village without even bothering to says sorry first is the most Sasuke thing to happen ever probably
I’m so glad Sakura stood up for herself and decided to fight with the boys 
It’s unsurprising that Sasuke’s first real smile in three years was because of an explosion
YASSSSSSSSSSSS SAKURA KDJGGKHFGHKJ TAKE THEM ALL ON
I think Sasuke finding out that Sakura could’ve killed him turns him on a little bit
I love it when Sakura makes boys frown it’s beautiful
Lmao @ Naruto and Sasuke checking each other out on the battlefield 
This is exactly what happens when you put a bunch of teens together they all start flirting and showing off even if it’s a war zone
Sasuke glancing at Sai: Listen bitch I have the monopoly on the dark-haired strategist on Team 7
NO ONE DOES DRAMA LIKE TEAM 7 MY BABIES
“He tried to kill me and it was irresistible” someone get Karin in therapy
I can’t believe the villains are having a weird-off contest
I understand Orochimaru even less than I ever have but I’m glad Gaara’s going to be okay

Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto Shippuden S20 (Pt. 2)
Why does everyone in this anime dream of Sasuke as a shojo protagonist
So Karin’s mama was the Uzumaki! The implication here is that Naruto is the only one to carry on the Uzumaki name of the named clan members
“Your mother alone isn’t enough this time” Karin is a wholeass child what the shit I really hate the ninja government
“We brought your mother’s body back to your house for you” wow how nice to bring the body of the woman you abused into her child’s home
Karin is the only one of the Taka to know about Sasuke’s fashion choices
“If you join me, no one will ever lay a hand on you again,” he said, right before people immediately began laying hands on her again
Karin’s Tsukuyomi filler is viscerally upsetting I thought it was just going to be [dramatic cowboy music] naked Sasuke
Karin’s ultimate desires are dying and Sasuke smiling and honestly a Mood
Ahhh!!! I’ve been waiting for this intro. I was so excited about the visuals and I’m not disappointed esp with the Kakashi and Obito frames. And my boy Tenzo made it in!!!!!!!! Bless up
Why does Hiruzen say “happening” like that? It’s so weird
“The alliance between the Uchiha and Senju has remained strong” said Minato, right before Itachi lurked in the shadows looking like he was going to murder his entire family
“Lord Hokage this, Lord Hokage that” don’t be a Boruto, Naruto
Fdsfjhskjfh this universe is exactly what I wanted for these kids, Sasuke belligerently denying that he has friends while spending all of his time with them and also there’s a dog for some reason??? I love it
Kakashi sounds so tired his entire voice screams “release me”
OH MY GOD IS KAKASHI SHOWING TEAM 7 SAKUMO’S GRAVE??? I LIVE!!!!!
What world is this where genin are assigned S-rank missions anyway? They’re supposed to be doing C and D rank wyd Minato
“Thanks to some favouritism, even a loser could follow in the Hokage’s footsteps” now I’m not criticizing Kakashi or Naruto but ur right Sasuke it’s all nepotism lmao 
Cripes SP just went AFTER the biggest plot hole in this goddamn universe with the resealing half of Kurama into Kushina I’m screaming 
Gfgfgjhkjh baby boy:
Asuma: Under no circumstances rush in to try to rescue them
Naruto, ten seconds later: I’m gonna rescue every last one of those guys
Whomst is this young boy he just looks like the generic schoolchildren that Kakashi failed in his bell test they really ran out of filler designs huh
They referred to Izumo and Kotetsu as “missing jonin” but I’m pretty sure they’re chunin? Unless they jump in rank in AU world
How does Minato keep a straight face while his son is being so ridiculous
Minato, the Ninja President: Maybe we should send... the babies
I’M WHEEZING Kakashi literally collapsed to the ground, gasped and was swallowed by tentacles before Sakura noticed anything was happening jesus christ
WHY DO NONE OF THESE GENIN NOTICE THEIR GASPING SENSEI
Team Guy living up to their “beautiful and competent” reputation by being the only team to actually realize what’s happening to their teacher
Son of a bitch I see ur painted toenails Akatsuki boy
I love that even a Naruto raised by Minato is still kind of a dumbass
This poses an interesting question about what happens when ur Jashin sacrifice has such a strong healing factor 
Omg that was Nagato’s normal jutsu does that mean he’s not decrepit
Is that YAHIKO I HEAR?!!?!?!?! 
Update from five seconds later: YEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M SCREAMIN
“The one to prove that there isn’t any hope to be found anywhere, not in a cursed shinobi world” is Obito a fake scientist now or is Jiraiya bad
Have I mentioned that I’m in love with Yahiko because I am 
“Technically our name’s the Akatsuki, but I don’t really think it’s too catchy or cool at all” #shotsfired 
Yahiko why are you beating up these twelve-year-olds for no reason
“But we’ll rise up and set aside bitterness” he said bitterly, thrusting his sword at a twelve-year-old boy basically unprovoked
Kakashi’s noodle legs flying in the wind before being tossed onto the ground my precious pile of human jello
How do u know if that’s what happened to Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura was staring off into the distance while Kakashi was dying
Nagato has knocked down a whole house while having an Episode, Ninja PTSD is truly wild 
I can’t believe none of these six ninja were fast enough to save those kids
Lmao @ them repeating the same fucking scene every episode so as to remind us they’re still in the Infinite Tsukuyomi
Hoo boy Shikamaru’s pragmatism is being challenged by guilt 
Sasuke is shook by Neji taking his place as Naruto wrangler and ngl so am I
“They put the rules of their village ahead of the lives of children” why are you lecturing Naruto and Neji on this as if they are not also children
Lmao AU where the Hyuga are as terrible at dealing with their problems as the Uchiha I guess. My money is on Hizashi for this world’s Tobi bc he’s the only dead named Hyuga
Akatsuki is conducting the world’s most convoluted bell test
“We can show the world what freedom is about” Yahiko ur like 31 goddamn years old quit asking these pre-teens to join ur cult
“Are you trying to imply that we’re weak” again! Yahiko! 31! Control urself
AU Sasuke is basically Baby Kakashi utterly fixated on the rules 
The height difference between Neji and Naruto gives me peace ahh 
Hahaha the Danzo actor plays every nasty old man in this anime
“You think that choosing death is the same as choosing freedom” I’m with you Hiashi 
If the events of Hizashi’s death played out the same way I’m a little confused as to who this guy could be. Hiashi? A double AU Neji?
“I’m at a really good part right now” a little self-congratulatory but ok
“Would you like to find out with me?” why emphasize it that way 
“A shinobi prioritizes the rules” shut up Sasuke in canonverse u immediately disobeyed orders the second Kakashi was captured by Zabuza u dumb fuck
In a way this is like a really fucked up chunin exam 
Lmao Sasori’s poison in this world is much more fast acting Sasuke took three seconds to fall to pieces 
Good finally an adult even if it is a mess like Jiraiya 
“There is simply no way that Sakura, my beloved apprentice, would ever be this meek” omg Tsunade coming to her pupil’s defence I love it
“Do not worry, I won’t let them be killed” said the definitely trustworthy masked man who had just facilitated the poisoning of a twelve-year-old boy
Huh so this is suggesting AU Sakura can use medical ninjutsu even as an early genin
“I’ve secretly been apprenticing with Lady Tsunade” guess that answers that question
Omg Minato has literally put a lifelong tracker on his baby he’s That Parent
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My boys!! Father and son! AHHH! “Right dad” I cry
Fugaku’s so bad at parenting ‘my seven-year-old can’t do this chunin-level jutsu on the first try guess he’s incompetent’
Based on that reaction to Hinata I’m gonna double down on my Hiashi theory
“And on our side, there are ten, including me, plus a dog” I appreciate Sasuke acknowledging Akamaru’s battle strength
Jiraiya is definitely the adult character most committed to his voice role these days lmao though Yahiko’s a close second (I’m biased though bc he shares a voice with Tenzo my baby)
“If they’re guided in the right direction the world will change for the better but if guided wrongly they’ll bring about great ruin” 
Highkey this prophecy is way more fitting for Minato than Jiraiya because while Naruto does a good job bringing people together... ultimately they are brought together by the Allied Shinobi Forces. Like Naruto touches hearts and everything, but their fight with a common enemy is what brings them together.
And Nagato doesn’t bring about great ruin either. He’s not exactly a facilitator of positive change, but he does a good thing before dies
But! Obito! He brings about catastrophic damages. And you know who ends up changing the world for the better? Kakashi! He becomes Hokage and seems to be the only one actually trying to change the way shinobi treat children. The shinobi system itself hasn’t changed all that much. I know Naruto’s pretty new to the Hokage thing but he doesn’t seem particularly inclined towards reformation right now, more administration. He’s just trying to get by, at this point. So from an actual practical standpoint, if this prophecy had been delivered to Minato it would’ve actually come to fruition thanks for coming to my TedTalk
It seems unfair to judge the whole village by merit of Sasuke’s failures
They’re really powering up these children for this filler Sasuke shouldn’t have three tomoe until he leaves the village
“Even if our intentions may be different, we cannot just ignore the needs of our friends” I love Rock Lee 
“Only two shinobi are able to do this, Jiraiya-sensei and myself” [Kakashi Hatake clutches his heart in the distance]
What kind of inflammable jumpsuit can withstand the Nine Tails’ chakra
Not 2 poke too many holes but is it really prioritizing your comrades if you just let Naruto fix everything all the time
What do u know it was Hizashi my first guess was right?? Is he dead or??
On a scale of Kakashi Hatake to Neji Hyuga how well are you handling the knowledge that your presumed to be dead loved one is a mysterious masked man intent on messing with your comrades
I hope the jonin are just like.... at a hot spring or smth I’d die
“How embarrassing” R u telling me these dumb ninja could not possibly get out of those ropes on their own?? Kakashi was in ANBU for ten years
Why does Hizashi address Kakashi directly?? Is it just bc he’s the default leader or do they know each other?
“I’ll change the way of the Hyuga clan... after I become Hokage” but will you, Naruto? 
Guy coming to comfort his baby ninja 10/10 would recommend 
HEY WHAT THE FUCK I KNEW AS SOON AS THEY SENT YAHIKO OFF ON HIS OWN THAT SOMETHING TERRIBLE WAS GONNA HAPPEN 
“I’ll find a body that’s even more beautiful” “Oh that’s unlikely” omg they did really not think that reply through
Orochimaru’s shimmy as he disappears thanks I hate it
“Your older brother would’ve handled all this far better than you have” by murdering everyone??? Itachi is Not Good at handling things Fugaku
Dfdjfkhdkjhfkh what’s with Sasuke’s dog backstory 
I really wish that Sasuke was not Like That all the time but he’s gotta be so wound-up for ambition 24/7
Actually Jiraiya: Is that ur crush Naruto
“Oh it’s just you” why are you like this Fugaku 
I guess Sasuke’s tragic backstory in this AU is just daddy issues
“Normally, someone would just be happy to have gotten this far... but then, this is so like you” Sasuke has been #calledout by Kakashi
Minato is so caught off-guard by the look of pure murder in Sasuke’s eyes
Oh no poor Sakura she was just standing there quietly while Naruto abandoned their team 
Take a shot every time Sasuke has a crazed look in his eyes
Hahaha I cackle over my darling Minato’s memories of Mount Myoboku
HAS EVERYONE JUST FORGOTTEN THAT KAKASHI IS THEIR SENSEI POOR GUY HE TURNS AWAY FOR TEN SECONDS AND HIS TEAM HAS ALL GOT NEW TEACHERS
“The next time around he’ll be past his prime” “someone young beautiful and strong” sound a bit more like a predator Orochimaru
“Thanks for the last three years” Sasuke’s gratitude to Shisui could not sound less sincere
Jesus Sasuke is encouraging police brutality I don’t know why I’m surprised
“If we hurt them enough, bad guys won’t resort to crime anymore” that’s it that’s the entire ninja philosophy
How dare u Sasuke, Itachi only gives u love and affection in this AU
I can’t believe Sasuke single-handedly ruined Konoha’s economy
I don’t know what Danzo’s doing here but I can only guess he’s here to ruin everything 
“Leave them alone!” Sasuke defends Naruto and Sakura openly for the first time in like ten years
“I want to take advantage of you too” why phrase it like that Sasuke??
I’m not into Sasuke’s life choices but his fashion sense is much better 
This is the only time the entrance to the Leaf has ever had a guard standing there when someone absconded in the night
Finally!!!!!!! Kakashi collect your son Fugaku has done a terrible job I make the rules and you’re his dad now 
Filler Kakashi’s really having a rough time of it huh. Can’t even take on a genjutsu from someone with far less experience than Itachi
It really took this long for Minato to address Kakashi directly my god
“Why are meeting in the classroom” emotional backdrop 
I want to make an edit of that chalkboard with graffiti that says ‘Sasuke wuz here’
What a ridiculous plot device Kiba’s tunnel outside of the village for moonlit walks what kind of security system does this village have
Itachi where are you surely if you’re a Leaf ninja you should be on the Sasuke retrieval squad 
Kushina is so cute I love her with all my heart
Why is Yugao part of the Foundation?? Why is Anko part of the Foundation??? She hates Orochimaru would she really be complacent with his ally
Lee’s chunin ass really thinks he can take on ANBU veterans 
What an unexpectedly sweet ED about Sasuke aw
“I don’t care if they’re underground or above ground”‘ I love you Naruto
God can I say how much I love it that Tenten is in the Sasuke retrieval squad in this AU? 
“To tell you the truth, I’m not really as strong as you think I am” WAIT THIS MAN IS COUGHING IS THIS HAYATE ARE HE AND YUGAO ROOT TOGETHER? CRIMINAL ROMANCE!!!!
I really love this weird rivalry between the two (current) youngest members of the Akatsuki this is what happens when you ask teens to join your terrorist organization 
Oh my god did Deidara kill Yahiko how dare you
HEY FUCK ALL YOU GUYS THE AME TRIO WAS DOING SO WELL WHY WOULD YOU PIT THEM AGAINST MINATO
MINATO WOULD NEVER!!!!
He did the Crescent Moon Dance! Definitely Hayate omg 
AHHHHHH I did not know I needed Yugao and Tenten to fight but I definitely did (Kakashi in the distance probably: “Yugao how dare you attack a baby this is not Team Ro behaviour”)
Pls tell me the last cloaked figure is not Tenzo he doesn’t deserve that
Christ Sasuke what was that “Soon” growl maybe calm down for a minute
HOOD’S DOWN NOW IT’S SAI THAT’S SOMEHOW WORSE
Well if I had any possible doubts they were completely dispelled by the ink clone lmao
“Well I shouldn’t get greedy, one is enough” have I mentioned that I love Neji Hyuga and also for real I didn’t know how badly I needed Team Guy to fight the jonin/ANBU until now
“I’ve watched you two all this time. The one who can sway Sasuke, the one who can bring him back, is you, Naruto” Shikamaru admits that he’s noticed Sasuke and Naruto’s Extra Intimate Bond
OH NO HONEY THAT’S NOT HOW I WANTED TENZO TO APPEAR 
Take a shot every time I want to cry about Tenzo and then perish due to alcohol poisoning bc I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FREE HIM!!!!
This is like the definition of “thanks I hate it” the only thing that could’ve made Sasuke leaving the village worse was if Orochimaru was standing right there manipulating Sasuke and look there he is
Sasuke, Kakashi taught you better than to use chidori on a comrade!!!!
That face punch was.... a really weird choice of frames to put in slow mo good lord
“I thought you were the one person in the village who was able to understand all that” STOP THIS!!!! STOP HURTING MY BOYS
I also really hate the implication that Sasuke would leave the village for almost no reason like he was pushed so hard in the manga/original anime he had Orochimaru preying on him at his most vulnerable and he couldn’t protect his comrades (first with Sakura against Gaara, then with Naruto against Itachi, who kept telling him to foster his hatred) and he had just had a really difficult conversation with Kakashi when the Sound Four came to threaten him on Orochimaru’s behalf and he was like 13 years old and faced with so much loss like this filler arc is interesting and all but Sasuke’s motivations were complex!!! Don’t short change my boy
Sasuke had to almost die to get those ridiculous hand wings before but alright
Someone pls explain the Itachi force ghost is he dead or not
Oh no mangekyo sharingan I guess that means he died??????? How and why!!!
“I’m sorry, but we couldn’t track them due to the rain” that was a problem for Kakashi bc his tracking is scent-based are you telling me the Byakugan can literally see through solid walls but not rain
“Our pain, will become the whole world’s pain” God fucking damn it Nagato get your head out of your ass 
Minato why are you just standing there? You were able to stop a tailed beast bomb multiple times but somehow not Nagato’s jutsu
Are you telling Sakura was on a mission while the person she loved was doing all this fuckery I mean I know she’s a chunin but pls it was a Big Thing for the two of them
HEY GUY HOW’S IT GOING YOUR BABIES ARE SAFE OUTSIDE
TSUNADE AND KUSHINA DOING FUINJUTSU TOGETHER IS ALSO SOMETHING I DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED UZUMAKI GIRLS UNITE !!!!!!!! (Also Certified Best Husband Minato knows his wife is as strong as a Hokage too)
Where is Kakashi I know they keep nerfing him but really buddy the entire village is about to be crushed
“No way... six tails” you could express a little more shock Sakura in your voice your friend has turned into a burning mass of chakra with a skeleton wrapped around him
Wow there’s a wild jinchuriki on the loose and theoreticallly no Minato in Naruto’s seal if only the Hidden Leaf had a wood style user 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
OH NO Kushina is about to do something heroic and I’m sure I’m gonna be upset about it
“I’m gonna make my power and my will live” Mom’s here!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The visual of Kushina and Naruto doing the fist bump fkjghkjdhfgkjhfkgh STOP HURTING ME LIKE THIS (don’t stop I love it) but also stop hurting Naruto like this that’s his mom!!!
Sorry 2 go back to poking holes but aren’t those chakra rods binding to tailed beast chakra how can Naruto stick them in like that in Nine Tails mode without consequence
“We just have to become friends with everyone” YAHIKO I LOVE YOU
The serpent hand sign is not generally standard practice for releasing a jutsu but eh I appreciate the sentiment
“Your command of the Leaf Police force was nothing short of exemplary” what a weird bromance between Fugaku and Minato lmao
“The consequences I’m suffering are my own fault” Fugaku handling a situation in a reasonable fashion? Unrealistic. Blocked.
Is Sasori the mastermind behind Akatsuki now? Lmao what is Obito even up to these days
“This contradiction, why don’t you make it right?” mm no thanks Sasori
SP is really determined to cover the entirety of Shippuden in like 20 episodes godgdamn 
Ffdgjkdfjglkfdjg soft gasp makes a comeback
Sasori: First, we’ll crush the Leaf village
Sasuke, an international terrorist: [soft gasp]
“I just want to destroy the current system that has the Fourth Hokage at its helm. I’m not looking to destroy the Leaf itself” how unexpectedly reasonable Sasuke
“Itachi! I thought you were dead” “I can’t die, while your future and that of the Uchiha are so uncertain” I’mabadbitchyoucan’tkillme.jpg
It’s slightly unreasonable to expect Team Guy to be able to fend off Kakuzu on their own considering none of them use elemental-style attacks in canon but you know what fair enough
“Hold up there! That’s a land mine you know” How nice of Deidara to warn his opponents about his own attack lmao
“I would have been happy to take you on anytime” [insert ninja sex joke here]
SOOKSUKE HERE TO DEFEND HIS BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND YES
“I don’t get it, why’d you save me” “Because I’ll be the one to take you down” 10/10 accurate representation of how ninjas flirt
The only way I can understand this formation of the Akatsuki is if this is a babushka doll situation and inside Sasori is an even smaller Obito bc like really where the hell is he
R u telling me Sasori and Orochimaru were buddies working on a project together? Double unrealistic. Blocked again. I may not care for Sasori but I do experience “ready 2 throw hands with Orochimaru” solidarity
I’M SCREAMING TEAM 7 AT IT AGAIN WITH THEIR OT3 LOVE:
Sakura: [punches a giant block of metal]
Naruto: Wow... awesome!
Sasuke: I’ll say!
Wh— How could Sasori beat Onoki, Mei, and A? Even Madara didn’t manage to take them out completely and he was immortal!!!! Really Sasori what up with this
Guess Aoda won’t be offering Sasuke any familial advice anymore he’s in pieces think of his poor snake children
“Why do you insist upon doing everything yourself Sasuke? You have comrades with you” Pot-kettle Itachi
So they’re not only cutting out Kakashi’s relevance but also Sakura’s bc she didn’t do much in that battle scene except stand around even though she defeated Sasori alright alright alright
“I’ll change the shinobi world, and I’ll do it my way” Sasuke could you please like... chill for sec
This Uchiha Oppression flashback oh dear
JHFGJHKFHGFDKH THE UCHIHA AND UZUMAKI-NAMIKAZE FAMILIES STANDING TOGETHER YES!!!
“You just.... jumped in and saved that dog!” “Listen, my body just moved on its own!!” Are you telling me this stupid rivalry started because Naruto was quicker to save a puppy when they were seven that’s the dumbest reason ever dfkhkhgkfdh who wrote this I love it
This entire battle scene really sounds like Sasuke’s going “I’m sapiosexual” and then trying to murder Naruto because he’s a dumbass and Sasuke is attracted to him anyway
If I thought the slow mo punch was a mistake that has nothing on the animation in this scene good lord
I’m waiting for Kakashi to show up and spin these boys around into the nearest objects
“You always could jump into action in any situation and shine. It was blinding to see that” Sasuke pls keep it in your pants
“And that’s what true friendship is about” THIS IS THE KIND OF MEDIOCRE DUMB MOTIVATIONS/OUTCOME I NEEDED FOR A NARUTO FIGHT I LIKE IT THANKS SP
They really retold the entirety of Parts I and II in 18 episodes huh dsjfjdfgj
That was a lovely end shot but what happened to Tenzo and Sai you put them in Root and then left it at that like???? Are they okay??
HOKAGE DAN BRINGS HIS WIFE TSUNADE TO THE KAGE SUMMIT WHAT A CHAMP

Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto: The Will of Fire 
Omg @ Sai just letting himself fall out of the sky... same 
Nart loves Sai god bless 
Guess my boy Tenzo is otherwise occupied I miss him 
Gfdgkjdfhgdfkhg Kakashi trying to explain to Sai that Sakura really cares about him through the only way he understands: books 
Kakashi carries the bells around everywhere I love him so much he loves his babies 
“For the ANBU, abandoning your friends is fine as long as you complete the mission” damn Sai 
“You really had a dark childhood, didn’t you?” asked the boy who had a demon sealed inside him at birth 
Why does Kakashi gotta say “see ya later” like he’s about 2 die man 
I guess for all that the Leaf is unbearably kind they also end up with a shit ton of powerful ninja absconding and leaving the world at their mercy
It’s too early for the 4th great ninja war man Sasuke hasn’t even made that much of a mess of his life yet
U know Gaara is also a kekkei genkai user what makes Kakashi so special there’s also the Byakugan but I guess that’s gotta be saved for the plot of Naruto: Moon Ninja Incest
Also: it is not actually Kakashi’s kekkei genkai?? It’s his eye now sure but it’s the genetic trait of Sasuke and Itachi
“I’ve heard the jutsu formula requires a special kind of light” how did you hear about this why were y’all just sitting on this crazy information for ten years also was Tsunade even in the village ten years ago??
“I cannot sacrifice you to save the village. You know how unkind history would be to a Hokage who’d do that?” Turns out, not that unkind. (See: Hiruzen Sarutobi)
I guess Asuma is definitely dead at this point in the narrative 
Lmao @ Kakashi taking the village guards out with one punch each so much for the vanguard 
Team 7 is really not taking Kakashi’s departure well it’s like Post-Traumatic Sasuke Disorder
“Can you bring him back? With your own two hands?” Omg my previous statement was real fucking accurate truly traumatized by their love
“I will follow Shikamaru as team captain” funny enough Neji outranks him now
Poor Sai he’s being left out of the Konoha 11 bonding mission 
But truly.... where is Yamato 
“She said to forget Kakashi, those are the Hokage’s orders” ur a fucking hypocrite Shikamaru Team 10 literally just avenged Asuma
“Well well, looks like you actually know what you’re doing” this could be Team Guy’s tagline 
What is the point of a gate if there’s a people-sized hole to jump through
I guess that’s where Yam is... he’s busy voicing the villains lmao 
This is my fave combo attack Lee and Neji my excellent boys enhancing each other’s jutsu
This is my least favourite combo attack could you be a little less gross
Jiraiya’s face as he says “Naruto” to Gaara lmao subtle call-out for being In Love 
“Where is Gaara now?” gone to protect the love of his life 
How unlike Naruto to be the one who stays behind usually he’s the one who fights last 
Poor Gaara I mean he makes a fair point about Naruto’s hypocrisy
“To a ninja of the village, the Hokage’s orders are absolute” LIARS YOU’RE ALL LIARS EVERYONE IGNORES THE HOKAGE’S ORDERS SHIKAMARU KAKASHI NARUTO WHENEVER IT’S CONVENIENT 
“I’m gonna stop Naruto even if I have to kill him” okay a little extreme 
Not to detract from the severity of the situation but Kakashi is so pretty in his sleeveless turtlenecks
Take a shot every time we have to relive Kakashi’s deepest traumas 
So what this dude is saying is that he was basically Diet Orochimaru
“Time for me to undergo the body synthesis and become a perfect ninja” I enjoy that Kakashi is everyone’s idea of The Perfect Ninja
“The village I love just doesn’t do things that way” I mean don’t me wrong I love the Leaf too Naruto but that’s kind of historically how they have done things (See: Itachi Uchiha)
“So this is what Jiraiya was talking about” Unadulterated stubbornness? 
If he was pulled into the Kamui dimension Kakashi wouldn’t die so much as disappear and then run into Obito’s various body parts
This obviously isn’t the conclusion bc there are 20 more minutes
Since Jiraiya is still alive this is the closest Naruto has come to losing a parental figure since his own died 
“A woman can become infinitely strong in order to protect the man that she loves” I’m not sure which one Sai’s accusing her of loving but probs Naruto 
Lmao you know Naruto has a fair point Kakashi taught them one lesson about friendship and it informed his entire ninja experience 
[Insert Kakashi loves to twirl post here]
Why would he put the last kekkei genkai on his chest it’s an eyeball
Jesus Christ what kinda demon mouth 
The implication here is that Naruto is permanently damaging his chakra network to use that jutsu bc he doesn’t have sage mode rn
“By now I should’ve absorbed you and achieved a perfect body” Kakashi’s perfect body ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
“You should’ve bonded with your friends” Kakashi is so gentle with his enemies he’s always cradling them and giving them moral lessons 
Peppy teens summarily ignoring the corpse on the ground 
Poor Kakashi every time he tries to be nice it all goes terribly awry

Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto Shippuden S20 (Pt. 1)
Starting this season on a light note with the death of two teenage boys 
Sakura manually forcing Naruto’s heart to beat while flying through the air she is the love of my life honestly
“Going full speed” Gaara giving Sakura a sand seatbelt fjghkjdfhgfgdk
Even Tobirama wants to save Sasuke and he hates the Uchiha that’s my garbage boy somehow stealing everyone’s hearts 
“Just who is he?” Release him!!!!!!!!!!! Tenzo does not deserve this 
Sasuke’s weird group of ambiguously evil friends to the rescue I suppose 
“Is this where his wind ceases to blow?” There’s a Naruto sex joke in there somewhere 
“Neji, why did you have to go and leave me here alone with these two guys?” JKHFGKJFHGKHF THE CUTAWAY TO NEJI IN GOLDEN LIGHT TENTEN PLS 
Poor Minato he has to watch his baby boy dying on the battlefield oh no
It’s real fucked up that Kakashi has to take Obito’s eye once again 
The only time making a jinchuriki has ever been a good idea and it was interrupted by Black Zetsu smh 
This Naruto episode has me highkey wondering what happened to Bee
“Tell me now, what am I to you?” Obito trying to get some weird form of closure from his great grand-uncle who turns out just to be a self-obsessed dick 
“Madara is defined as he who rejects this world. All who hold that thought in their heart and strive towards achieving the infinite tsukuyomi are Madara” I bet $15 that someone has put this on UrbanDictionary
How’s Minato supposed to do anything without either of his arms jhgkfhgkjdfh even he can’t weave foot signs 
“I can’t wait to see what my great grandchildren will look like Obito” “Grandma I’m only five years old” OMG THESE KIDS 
IS THIS GOING TO BE THE JUNIOR SHINOBI CONTEST I’VE HEARD ABOUT I LOVE THIS 
“Saving my friends no matter what, that’s my ninja way” KAKASHI PLS IT’S KICK THE CAN
Oh my god this is such a sad insight about what Kakashi was like before his father died he valued his friends and gave Obito compliments oh no
Personally I think Baby Kakashi was a little bit of a show-off 
“Hey Grandma, am I more like my mom or my dad?” This kind of has me wondering Obito if murdered his own grandma
I know this is supposed to be very sad but what an unusually low voice for like a nine year old lmao 
“One day I’m gonna surprise him big time” well you certainly did Obito 
“He may excel in technique, but as a person I’m afraid he has much to learn” why u gotta come after Kakashi like this Hiruzen
I like that in spite of wonky timelines they acknowledge Kakashi’s graduation from the academy at 5 and subsequent missions 
“What are you, chicken?” “What’d you say?” DKJGHJKFHGJKFHG the beginning of a tru rivalry 
Lmao @ Rin outing Obito for his admiration of Kakashi 
“I’m just going to have to connect the two of you” DAMN ARE ALL TEAM 7s HIGHKEY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER ALL AT ONCE??
BABY KAKASHI OH NO
Obito: Haven’t you heard of [your dad]?
Kakashi: No. 
Minato’s so bubbly all the time it’s hard to reconcile that with him being able to kill a dozen people in a minute
Damn does every first C-rank mission go horribly awry or is just every one of Kakashi’s
“You’ll be in my way” can’t say that little Kakashi has a way with people
Can I just how jarring it is that they’ve all suddenly decided to pronounce Rin in a different way than the way they’ve been doing it since she was introduced 
I think Minato is very upset that Baby Kakashi would rather save a mission than a person
“I’m glad my final op is with you” quit being dramatic Kakashi you’re going to live until you’re like a hundred 
Sharingan boys @ Madara: Talk shit get hit 
Tag teams who don’t need to verbalize to know each other’s moves are my weakness 
In the same way that Kakashi has a “my babies are about to get hurt” radar, Guy has a “Kakashi’s about to get his ass kicked” radar 
Lmao @ Tobirama helping this weird snake man he just met save Sasuke
“If it isn’t the Hokage I respect most, Lord Second” that is definitely an insult, Tobirama
My darling Minato the No-Armed Ninja having a conversation with a kunai in his mouth djhgkjflkjfdhjkdl
Five-year-old Kakashi did not ask for so many rivals but there they were
“Thank you for your support” Might Dai is the parent we all need
Jesus what is wrong with these ninja he’s five years old 
Kakashi Hatake, Prince Charming to the Rescue (c. age 5)
That was extraordinarily sweet for an ending about ramen omg 
Omg I take back what I said earlier Baby Kakashi is the biggest show-off in Konoha and I love him for it this tiny bitch wouldn’t even leave his seat
Dai is trying to set his son up on a battle playdate omg 
“If that genius trains just as hard as I do, what chance do I possibly have to beat him?” I’m crying bc Baby Kakashi definitely trains in secret to make himself seem cooler 
“But remember, you cannot graduate from youth” same man same
Is there a single person in the Hidden Leaf without severe daddy issues 
When they cut to Lee at “fresh green leaves” stealing my heart w/ visual metaphors Guy 
Does Lee really need his gates open to just stand there watching
“You can still dance, can’t you?” Madara’s relationship with Hashirama really fucked him up for trash talk it always comes out a little flirty
Oooooh Hagoromo talks pseudo-Shakespearean I wonder how this comes across in Japanese is it like an older dialect or smth
“Forgive me, I’m an anachronism” is there a word for when you’re describing something and doing it at the same time bc calling himself an anachronism is definitely an anachronism 
“Oh yeah, for real? Then I’ll keep going like this, I’m much pleased” omg Hagoromo 
Hagoromo is pulling a full on Rafiki in this magical Naruto water 
“No matter how exceptional both parents may be, there’s no guarantee one will inherit outright either of their abilities” [Hagoromo as Oprah voice] you’re stupid! My son Asura’s stupid! Everyone’s stupid!
Can’t say I care much for the reincarnating fratricide but that’s life I guess
But for real..... how many people have been living in Naruto his whole life?? His dad.... his mom... a giant chakra demon.... an exhausted dunce from the dawn of ninja.... no wonder the boy’s had such a hard time he’s had a whole peanut gallery in him since birth
“So basically it’s like you’ve been watching your kids’ sibling rivalry this whole time?” Hagoromo received eternal punishment for bad parenting
Can Naruto really be the child of two different prophecies? Excessive
I appreciate that Tenzo made Naruto’s friends collage (release him)
Did they make Sasuke left-handed purely for this visual or bc he’s got Problems™ and there was that old wives’ tale about lefties and Satan
This is such a sweet scene but I keep thinking about that post where Sakumo goes “I’m high as balls”
Madara, giggling like a schoolgirl: I very nearly died 
“I think that I can change everything now” convenient that Naruto gets Actual Ninja Magic right during Sensei Mutilation Period 
“You can do this jutsu even if you’re stupid” what a self-burn Naruto 
I hope someone came across Konohamaru yelling at his water balloon in the forest
“Maybe if I escalate the sexiness it’ll all come together nicely” fgkfdjgkfdgh the mind of twelve year old boys is amazing 
Moegi’s Death Look at this Ebisu’s porn collection is a Mood
Can you imagine if Kakashi taught lessons like Naruto?
Sasuke: Please explain the chakra change necessary for chidori
Kakashi: Crack crinkle crinkle crinkle 
This is such a dumb interlude but I do miss the Leaf 
There’s a lot of weird voice acting in this episode like Kakashi sounded so put-out to direct Konohamaru to Naruto, and Tenzo straight up sounded like a different person (also why would he call Kakashi “sensei”??)
Maybe it’s just because it skipped through 1/3 of Shippuden but that was the longest filler episode of my life 
“He’s touching Madara’s rod but isn’t affected” that’s what she said 
“When you finally become the Hokage, we should go have a drink together sometime” I CAN’T BELIEVE GAARA JUST ASKED NARUTO OUT WE ARE #BLESSED 
Sakura’s really the only one who gives Obito the grief he deserves like in spite of trying to kill him Kakashi’s a bit like “ლ(✿☉ ᴗ ☉)ლ” after Obito switches sides but I feel like more people should be telling him how much of a dick he’s been for the past 16 years 
Obito @ Sakura: Do an enemy a solid my gal 
What is with the Namikaze boys and putting kunai in their mouth like puppies
Poor Kakashi he got his eye ripped out on the same day as his heart
Take a shot every time someone transplants an eye without the help of a medical ninja so much for the optic nerve
Madara is responsible for most of the pain in Kakashi’s life and he didn’t even do it on purpose he just happened to go after everyone that Kakashi cares about
Sasuke’s such a liar I love him
Sasuke: [worries about Kakashi and Sakura staying alert]
Also Sasuke: Comrades? I can’t read suddenly 
Kakashi monologuing about how much his children have changed is my aesthetic 
“You haven’t forgotten the lesson from trying to steal the bells have you?” “Of course not, the answer is teamwork!” BABIES ALL GROWN UP AND STILL A TEAM MY HEART
Seems real unfair that Madara jacked Obito’s other eye when he has two of his own now like did he just toss it into Obito’s void
“According to that stone tablet” how many things are on this one stone tablet man did Hagoromo write a whole ass essay
It’s always bothered me that Hiruzen calls out to “Yamato” bc he was given that codename for Team Kakashi like remember ur own backstories Kishimoto 
“What happened to me?” without context Tenzo must think he’s dead because he’s seeing the Third Hokage in a world of bright light
Tenzo’s first thought after he wakes up is about Naruto RIP my tree husband
I can’t tell if it’s just because Yamato’s Having an Emotion or bc it’s been ages since Yamato had a speaking role but the voice is hella different
“Have you finally realized it? That there’s no doubt that this is where you truly belong” Can you........... bELIEVE....heterosexuality who
“It’s been a while Yamato” 171 EPISODES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen this makes me sadder than any other episodes because this man could have anything... anything in this dream world and what he wants is to protect Team 7 and have Kakashi tell him he belongs like WHAT THE FUCK 
He even wants Sasuke on his team! Sasuke, who stabbed him!!
Ur shitting me Minato got thrown all the way back to THE LEAF VILLAGE
Lmao @ Tenten’s fantasies being about Lee being better dressed and Neji criticizing her underwear 
“I don’t need a cheap flirt like you!” I do, I love Slutsuke 
The real question is if Tenten had that scroll in her titties the whole time how did Neji not see it
Love that Sakura makes Tenten’s list of research nerds
“I have goals of my own to pursue and I don’t want any of you to get in my way” In absence of the real Sasuke, Tenten is the Angst Teen
Other world Kurenai has such a wide emotional range omg
Tenten: Ur disrespecting my dead friend but the plain dumplings are the last straw
Road to Ninja!Hidden Leaf has a much better security system than the normal Leaf u can just walk out of the village at any time
Even Fake Lee and Neji love Tenten the real OT3 MVPs
Every time Team Guy takes their eyes off the village it bursts into flames
It’s nice that Menma is being helpful and everything but isn’t he..... evil??
“The fact that I’m alive, and that the world is safe, is all thank to you” Tenten loves Neji so much honestly where is the justice
Okay but didn’t Eight Tails get extracted from Bee I’m really confused about how he’s still alive I know it’s canon but ??????
OH MY GOD WHY ARE THE TAILED BEASTS SO TINY I LOVE IT
Bee wants to form a reverse Akatsuki where he just frees jinchuriki from captivity 
TGtjkghfdkjg Naruto’s cage is IN TSUNADE’S MOUTH
“What about my ramen?” “We’ll get it somewhere else” Naruto and Gaara are still dating in Bee’s Tsukuyomi dream
“I’d like to.... examine the dice first” truly kage-level subterfuge Gaara
Honestly I thought Bee’s dream would be at least 50% more about titties 
MY BOY TENZO LEADING THE ANBU BLACK OPS I LOVE IT
Rappuden Tenzo and Yugao seems to be A Thing which is funny because in his own dream Tenzo was only interested in being near Kakashi
“Everyone hates arithmetic” you are correct Naruto 
“I’m leaving the Akatsuki. I’m leaving, and so is Nagato” Itachi pls 
Gaara just circling threateningly in the air I’m crying 
“Looks like Fu has softened up to Gaara” Bee’s real dream is compulsory heterosexuality 
Omg even in a world where the Leaf village traps Naruto in a mountain he still wants Sasuke to return there no boy has ever been this loyal to the Leaf and his comrades
“You’re the one who’s been kidnapping the children?”
Naruto: There’s only one thing worse than a kidnapper
Naruto: [removes card to reveal “child kidnapper”]
Sasuke: A child!
Naruto: NO-
“Not going to lie, I’ve been better” I, too, dream of giving Orochimaru motion sickness 
Bee has beaten Yagura’s pre-teen angst with the power of Empathy 
“Aunty Yugito?” “What was that?” “I mean... Big Sis Yugito” Naruto referring to everyone he meets as family will never cease to endear me
“That is kind of artsy” I can’t believe Bee dreams of Jinchuriki Power Rangers

Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto Shippuden S15-S16
“So Bee, what were you doing for the entire length of season 14?” “Pissing” Writing at its finest
The reveal that Tobi isn’t actually Madara puts all his dramatic monologues about days gone by in a very different light
Part of the reason Naruto may look so much like Nawaki is that they are actually related
It’s times like this I’m actually eternally grateful Kakashi isn’t Hokage because the Kage are always in the line of fire and he is just a tired dog dad
Five Kage battle somebody is definitely going to die and I pray that it’s not Gaara
Eight seasons later we finally get to see how Utakata was captured and get a montage about how he was highkey in love with Hotaru
“I wonder why I even started feeling that way. Why did I wish for a dream like that?” Are all Jinchuriki this oblivious about their feelings
“Thank you for listening,” said Utakata, right before trying to blow Naruto up
[Ominous Eight Tails voice]: For real
Lmao @ the Nine Tails listening in on this conversation apparently the secret to mastering your Tailed Beast is backhanded compliments
Kakashi’s students being attacked is like his bat signal it doesn’t matter where in the world he is, he will come
“I already know these eyes seek the darkness quite well” jesus Sasuke you’re always so dramatic
Suigetsu’s second favourite activity is cock-blocking
I’m loving this Tailed Beast discourse on animal cruelty
“Don’t let your guard down just because I’m here” Kakashi instills such a sense of comfort in everyone he meets that his students can’t help but trust he will protect them
Kakashi is the smartest person in the Leaf outside the Nara clan
Ah, the lesser known Son Goku
“It seems that Kurama has trained you well” 556 episodes into the franchise and the Nine Tails finally gets a name
Tailed Beasts destroy things indiscriminately because they want attention I guess Sasuke has that in common with them
I haven’t felt this way about Naruto since he faced Pain my darling boy of sincerity and peace
“By the way, I ate you, what are you going to do now?” “Oh yeah, I forgot about that” amazing
Even Kurama uses Sasuke to get to Naruto there’s not a single person in the world who doesn’t know that Naruto loves Sasuke
Sakura healing platoons of shinobi while fighting off impostors and then immediately returning to combat my sweet child
“Don’t thank me, it weirds me out” Kurama has issues with accepting affection
I’m pretty sure throwing one bomb at another bomb does not help anyone that’s not how science works
Shukaku’s not invited to the Jinchuriki party but I imagine if he was it’d go something like this
“You’ve never kissed a girl either, Naruto. Actually the only person you’ve ever really kissed... is Sasuke.” KURAMA PLS
“Sasuke? Kisses? What was that like?” Lord Fourth Mizukage is nosy and I love it
OH MY GOD BABY TAILED BEASTS AND THEIR SAGE DAD
“I just learned a whole bunch of really difficult names all at once” this episode is gold
I would watch a spin off that was just about Jinchuriki based on this adorable musical number
During this battle I have gone from “Where are my children?” to “No, children, stay away!” and now I know how it feels to be Kakashi Hatake 
“The spring time of our youth is far from over, Guy!” Road to Ninja!Guy and Kakashi make an appearance
Sasuke is truly a petty bitch who lives for drama he loves this storm just so he can dramatically turn to ninja cowboy music
Omg Jugo “According to these birds....”
Oh no the Leaf village babies still call him “big brother Sasuke”
Itachi please come and knock some sense into your brother you broke him now fix him
If the way to achieve Hashirama’s power is by grafting his face onto your body where does Yamato have a face grafted onto
“A woman, but I am not a weak woman” Tsunade takes down Misogyny Madara 
DOES THIS INTRO MEAN THAT SASUKE IS FIGHTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ALLIED FORCES LIKE ITACHI MY HEART
This entire arc is just about how hyperdramatic the Uchiha are
“I simply can’t stand taking orders from others” Itachi :(
Sasuke dressing up in a mini version Itachi’s Anbu Black Ops outfit ngkfghjfdhgkfjhg
I love the Uchiha brothers loving each other so much I am such a slut for this season
“My operation to destroy the Leaf is nothing like yours” [Insert “Cool motive, still murder” gif here]
Kabuto gets an origin story I hope this means he will die
Danzo is an incredible piece of shit he’s literally threatening an orphanage I’m sensing some holes in this story like Kabuto being Sasori’s spy and the son of the Head of the Medical Corps
I guess Kabuto was one of Orochimaru’s creepy adoptees too
Itachi is hella philosophical right now trying to guide everyone in this room into finding themselves
“It’s clear that what he’s doing is wrong, but he’s not completely to blame for not realizing that” I think we’re no longer talking about Kabuto
“You could come home with me” I think this Rear Guard Shinobi just asked his comrade to marry him
I haven’t cried over this show over the past 100+ episodes but Itachi and the episode “I Will Love You Always” has ruined me forever
Dan Kato: [apologizes for dying]
Suigetsu hiding behind Kabuto’s dead ass statue
Oh no Kakashi’s eyes and Tobi’s are linked this means he’s definitely Obito and he’s about to hurt Kakashi all over again
I think Kakashi is about to have a panic attack and I can understand why considering he’s been fighting a nonstop war losing comrades he was in charge of, facing all the Tailed Beasts, and now the one person he’s modeled his life after seems to be evil
“Who is he?” This is Kakashi’s Sasuke
Kakashi has seriously never been this upset in his life and he’s seen a lot of people die
“That means if I team up with Kakashi then we’ll be even stronger” WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU OBITO
I can’t believe that Obito was raised in a cave by Zetsu
“Both our vocabulary skills and mental acuity are greater than yours! But we still don’t poo” christ
“What’s a Stupid Kakashi?” The only type of Kakashi there is poor boy
KAKASHI’S MANGEKYO SHARINGAN AWAKENED BECAUSE HE KILLED THE PERSON HE AND OBITO CARED ABOUT MOST
Obito wants both Kakashi and Rin to exist in his dream world oh no
Nagato’s eyes were Madara’s what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck
So if Nagato is of Senju bloodline and he’s of Uzumaki heritage as well does that mean that he’s a direct descendant of Hashirama?
“Yahiko, can you help me out with some training?” this is so cute I love that “training” is often ninja code for “a date”
“Kakashi, hurry up already and become the kind of man who can be a hero in my novels” HE IS HE IS HE IS
Every time Danzo appears on screen he’s there to be the worst person that ever lived and that’s hard considering this cast
“You, Redhead,” is not actually a useful order when you are speaking to two people with ginger and auburn hair
A season that is entirely about Kakashi Hatake this is everything I have ever wanted
Lmao @ Danzo criticizing Orochimaru for being unlikeable 
Kakashi was Anbu because of the Fourth Hokage rip me my son
Is there much point in an Anbu mask if you are so tiny that everyone knows which one you are
Kakashi is indirectly responsible for the Nine Tails attack on the village if he ever learns about this he will lose his mind
So in the span of like a year Kakashi loses his remaining teammate, his sensei and his sensei’s wife whom he had been guarding for her whole pregnancy he has to be in the running for one of the most traumatized teens in history
BABY YAMATENZO MY SWEETHEART
Tenzo has been Team Kakashi since day one that’s my boy
Tenzo and Kakashi have been through so much together
Kakashi is seventeen now how does he go from a young man in Anbu who has no one in the world and knows nothing but pain to a lovable sensei who uses the bell test and reads pervy novels
Tenzo’s hair is so long here omg 
“Should we investigate what’s inside together?” Ahhhhh teaming up <3
“Did you wanna die?” Kakashi is very sensitive about suicide
KAKASHI IS THE ONE WHO GAVE TENZO HIS REAL NAME MY SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL SHINOBI
Kakashi was a mentor of Itachi’s when he was 20 why is his life so sad
Guy is truly the friend that Kakashi has needed his whole life
Everything that’s wrong with the Leaf village is because of Danzo oh my god 
The Foundation is finally dissolved fucking finally
Kakashi has ignored the offer of dumplings for nearly 17 years
Third Hokage acknowledging that he creates very unbalanced squads on his whims 
Lmao @ the Hokage ‘I made the squad this way because I think they all have crushes on each other’
“Are you waiting for me, Tenzo?” “I wish you’d stop calling me Tenzo, Captain” JUST DATE
I can only conclude from this season that I will never love any man as much as I love Kakashi Hatake
