Itachi, seeing Neji reading about the massacre: “I asked you to stop bringing the papers into our home.”
Neji, turning the paper around for him: “You did, but this picture is in color, so it brings out your features. You look tired instead of insane.”
Itachi, unimpressed: “You always throw away the pages with your picture on it.”
Neji, with a huff: “Bad angles and poor lighting. Maybe if they printed my pictures in color, people would see that my eyes can take on a slight lavender color. My eyes look terrible in black and white.”

Boruto hater bingo. Wait, if Boruto is Naruto’s Infinite Tsukuyomi, shouldn’t Jiraiya and Neji be alive, NaruSaku should be a thing and Kurama ain’t dead? Although it would be funny if Naruto’s dream world was getting revenge on Sasuke for running away so long by taking his eye. , Meme by Weeblmao.com

What is Michi like as a parent?
Michi is very gentle natured, that wouldn’t change much as a parent
She would have baby in her room for convenience for feedings and she just wants him there. So no point in a nursery for the first year
Co-sleeps. She tries not to do it too often because it’s not the safest thing when he’s so little. But he does have a travel bassinet she can place him in on the bed
Does more baby wearing than putting him in a stroller. The only time he’s in a stroller is if she’s jogging
Calls Madara for advice if Mugen is being particularly fussy because he’s strangely knows a lot of baby things
She believes “it takes a village”, so she’d make sure everyone in their lives is familiar with Mugen and he respects them.
Sets up times to visit all four grandparents
Never expects him to be perfect but ask that he always tries his best
Doesn’t correct people when they think he’s a girl. She doesn’t care what others think, he looks cute
Does yoga with him
Cuddles and hugs him a lot
Tells him his beauty mark on his forehead is an angel kiss from grandfather Hizashi while the one on his mouth was to remind him to use his voice in life.
Let’s him run around barefoot and self dressed despite disapproval from some of the older Hyuga. “He’s a little kid. lighten up.”
Very enthusiastic about the horrid little kid drawings he makes for her
Brings Mugen to visit Neji, Hinata, and Hanabi
Also takes him to parks regularly for fresh air and wild life
Has some issues speaking up for herself, but tries hard to be heard for Mugen’s sake.
Definitely has a bag filled with everything from snacks to bandaids and more. She doesn’t want to be unprepared for things.
As he grows she’d mark his height on a doorframe sort of forced Tenten, Neji, and Lee (and the rest of Neji’s men) to get measured too so Mugen can see how tall everyone is and muses with him how tall he’ll be one day
She’s signing him up for jui-jitsu at an early age because learning martial arts gave her a lot more confidence and it’s a good form of self discipline/defense
Tells him to respect his elders but, they should be be respectful him too. It goes both ways
Encourages him to be nice to his classmates and friends
She’d teach him how to skateboard with Chiha and Tenten. This is their little secret because grandfather Hiashi might actually have a heart attack
Also let him work out with Lee and Neji
Plays restaurant with him and thinks it’s so cute how he tries so hard to be a waiter and gets huff if she or anyone else says something about their “order”
Once he starts at the academy, she’ll cry. HE’S JUST A BABY (he’s literally 4)
Also crying happily at all his accomplishments
Preteen - teen would be hard on her. Not because he’s a bad kid, he’d be a very respectable young man, he’s just really not a baby anymore and very independent. He also is a genius and would end up graduating early. Sending her young teen to college wasn’t on her bingo card 🥲
Still makes him his lunches and ruffles his hair.
Probably does that embarrassing face cleaning thing some moms do still
Definitely the “who’s your friend?” “You should ask them out!😃” mom if she sees he’s expressing interest in anyone.

Check-In
Gai's Birthday Bingo 2023
Prompt: Mask
Words: 3,760
Character: Maito Gai, Yamato, Hatake Kakashi
Notes: Post- Chunin Exams
“A month?” Tenzo just about choked on his tea when he heard the timeline his Senpai had given him for Sasuke’s training. He’d known that Kakashi had plans to focus on his student’s training in preparation for his next chunin exam fight, but to be told that he’d be out of contact for a month seemed a little extreme. In all of the years they’d known each other he’d never known Kakashi to take even a day away from training, but now here he was telling him that he’d be taking an entire month. “What if there’s a mission? Or an attack?”
“I’ll be just outside the village,” Kakashi dismissed his questions with swift answers while stirring the minuscule remains of his tea. “If anyone needs to contact me they’ll be able to. Whether I answer or not will be determined by how important I think the issue is.”
“But-”
“There are no buts,” his Senpai continued over him. “Sasuke’s being pitted against that Gaara kid from Suna. Not only did that kid break Itachi’s record for finishing the forest of death, but he just about killed Lee in their battle. If Gai hadn’t stepped in…” his words drifted off, but the weight of what he refused to say still lingered over them.
If Gai hadn’t stepped in, Lee would have died.
Tenzo hadn’t been there to see the fights himself, but he’d heard all about them from Asuma when they met up for drinks shortly after. Every detail had been spilled over Sake, from Asuma’s disappointment over Choji and Ino’s loss’ to his surprise at Naruto’s win.
The fight that he’d talked about, though, was Rock Lee’s. Not a single detail had been spared and by the end of the night, Tenzo could feel the concern that radiated off of Asuma. He’d even expressed some fear about Shikamaru’s upcoming fight against the Suna girl, Temari, but it was nothing compared to his concern about his student facing off against Gaara.
That was the fear of a sensei who didn’t have his student going up against Gaara, though. For his Senpai, the reality was very different. Not only was Sasuke set up to face Gaara in his next match, but according to Kakashi, he was woefully unprepared.
“I have to make sure he does alright,” Kakashi whispered, his eyes focused on the swirling tea in his cup. “I put them into this exam. I need to help them survive, no matter what. Even if it means I ignore missions for a little while.”
Tenzo understood his Senpai’s concerns. Every shinobi in Konoha faced the chunin exams, but it seemed that the risks in these exams were far more than when Kakashi had anticipated. Not only was there the threat that the Gaara kid posed but there was also Orochimaru.
A sannin seeking to steal Sasuke, one of Kakashi’s precious students, and use for their own gain.
The world was stacking the odds against Kakashi and all he could do was try his best to protect his students.
“What about the others?” Tenzo asked, his mind wandering to the other two students Kakashi had taken on. Whenever he spoke of them Kakashi seemed to have nothing but praise. Although he’d been forced into the job, it seemed to Tenzo that he’d taken to it quite well.
His students were his pride and joy and he made sure to remind Tenzo of that fact every time they saw each other.
“Naruto needs to work on his chakra control,” Kakashi answered with ease. “I’ve spoken to Ebisu about training him while I’m helping Sasuke. If he can improve in that area I’m sure he’ll do well in his next match. He is Konoha’s number one unpredictable ninja, after all. No one expected him to make it this far, but here he is.”
Tenzo couldn’t help but laugh at the terrible nickname his Senpai had given Naruto. “Isn’t he going against one of Gai-san’s students? Hyuga Neji, correct?” Kakashi nodded. “I’ve heard a bit about him. Seems like he could pose a bit of a problem to Naruto.”
“He can,” Kakashi confirmed. “But there’s not much I can do for Naruto until he improves his chakra control, and Ebisu’s a better teacher in that regard than I am. Besides, as dangerous as Neji is he’s not going to kill Naruto.”
“Are you sure about that?” Another story he’d heard from Asuma was about Neji’s fight against Hyuga Hinata, and that was a story that said the exact opposite of what his Senpai was telling him.
“Neji is hard, but not that bad,” Kakashi confirmed. “He’s also Gai’s student. I trust that if things get out of hand, Gai will step in if I’m not there too.”
“True,” There was no one who knew Kakashi’s struggles better than Gai. Even Tenzo didn’t know the true extent of what his Senpai had suffered in his life, but he had learned enough over the years to know that he’d do everything in his power to protect Kakashi from more pain. There was no doubt in his mind that Gai felt the same way. “So Naruto will be trained by Ebisu and Sakura?”
“A month without training won’t kill her,” Kakashi sighed. “She’ll have to take care of her training for the time, but I’ll make it up to them all when the exams are done and everything has settled. Once I can breathe then I’ll kick into gear.”
Tenzo cringed at the saying. During his time in team Ro with Kakashi he’d come to understand that ‘Kick into gear’ really meant ‘drive them into the ground until they can’t move, and then do it again’.
Sakura was going to need the month-long break to prepare for what was coming her way.
“So a month,” he sighed, circling back to the beginning of the conversation. “That’s going to be a pretty boring month for me. Though, I guess I can focus a bit more on missions while you’re occupied.”
“Actually,” straightening up, Kakashi locked eyes with Tenzo. “I have a request.”
Gai’s apartment was easy to locate. Not only did Tenzo have the apartment number that his Senpai had written down on a small piece of paper for him, three-zero-five written in giant blocky letters so that he wouldn’t misread any of the numbers, but there was also a sign hanging on the front of the door that announced who was living there with pride.
A simple wooden sign that Tenzo recalled making himself just a few years ago for Gai’s birthday. He hadn’t known what to get for the overly energetic Jonin until his Senpai had shown him a picture of his tortoise summon that he’d snuck during one of his outings as ‘Sukea’. Now here it was, staring back at Tenzo after a year. Telling him exactly what he needed to know.
He was in the right place.
Now all he had to do was knock.
“Come on,” he lifted his right hand and took a deep breath, but nothing happened. His hand refused to move. “You can do it, Tenzo. It’s just a quick check-up. Poke your head in, make sure he’s alive and functioning, and go. That’s all. It’s easy.”
He took another deep, slow breath, but still nothing happened.
His hand just hovered there in front of the door, neither lowering nor reaching out to knock. Stuck in a limbo of inactivity that Tenzo couldn’t seem to force it out of.
“Just one knock,” he whispered, cringing when his hand refused to move. “Come on. He’s not going to hurt you.”
Gai was a good man. Stranger and perhaps a little too much for Tenzo to handle most days, but a good man. Short of harming Kakashi, which he would never think of doing, or one of his students, there was nothing Tenzo could think of that he could do to upset Gai.
Even if there was, Checking up on him certainly wasn’t on the list.
“Just go,” he insisted. “One knock and-”
Before he could finish that train of thought the door swung open and he found himself face to face with Maito Gai.
Smiley, energetic, always pleasant Maito Gai.
Except, none of those descriptors seemed to fit the man that he was staring at today. Not because Gai wasn’t trying to portray himself as the exact same person he always with, with a smile that spread across his entire face, but because that smile didn’t match at all with the tired, defeated look in his eyes.
“You look…”
“Great?” Gai cheered, though his voice sounded a little flatter than usual. “Wonderful? Ready to jump out and greet the day with the full power of my youth?”
Tenzo shook his head. “Awful.”
As soon as the word left his mouth the smile dropped off of Gai’s face and his shoulders slumped. “You’re learning from Kakashi, aren’t you?” he sighed, all of his usual energy missing from his voice. “
“I am a trained Anbu operative,” Tenzo argued, just a little insulted by the implication that he would need his Senpai to tell him what to look out for when he approached Gai. His Senpai had, of course, given him a few hints of what to keep an eye out for, but that didn’t matter. He was trained to read people’s emotions and body language. To look deeper and see all of the subtle signals that they were trying to hide from him.
“Ah,” waving off his protests, Gai leaned forward and peered down the hallway. “He’s not with you, is he?”
Tenzo could only sigh. “He’s out training Sasuke for his next match,” he assured the green-clad dork that his Senpai called ‘rival’. “That’s why I’m here.”
“To check up on me?” jutting his bottom lip out, Gai huffed. “I’m fine. I don’t need someone to pop in and make sure everything is alright. I’m not-”
He stopped himself, but Tenzo knew exactly what he wanted to say.
I’m not Kakashi.
A low blow, but a rather deserved one. In the twenty years that he’d known his Senpai one undeniable fact that Tenzo had learned was that his Senpai didn’t handle loss or disaster well. He would always put on a front, masking his emotions behind an aloof attitude, but deep down he was spiraling.
Tenzo didn’t think Gai would have the same reaction. His experiences with pain, as far as Tenzo knew, were different than Kakashi’s and his personality was almost the complete opposite.
That didn’t stop him from worrying, though. Everyone had a breaking point and although he hadn’t met any of Gai’s students, he’d heard enough about them to know just how much Gai cared about Lee.
If there was someone out there in the world whose death would cause Gai to crumble, it was either Kakashi or Lee. Kakashi because of their long-standing friendship and rivalry, and Lee because of how much Gai had come to care about him in such a short amount of time.
Tenzo wasn’t keen to find out which one it was anytime soon. The energy that Gai brought to the village was strange but comforting. The world needed more of the bright, youthful energy and less destroyed, irreparable spirits.
“I see,” shoving those thoughts to the side for the moment, he leaned to the right just enough to get a view into the room behind Gai. The layout was the same as every other Jonin apartment in the building but with a few weights laying out on the floor and a workout mat half haphazardly thrown into the corner beside Gai’s desk. On the desk, there was a bit more of a mess, with dishes piling up on the back near the wall and three books of various sizes spread open along the desk. “And what is it you’re reading about?”
“Uh, well,” glancing back over his shoulder, Gai cringed. “I was just looking up some information. It’s important to keep up to date with our knowledge.”
There it was again. That wide, toothy grin that Gai always wore on his face.
A grin that Tenzo had once viewed with caution, but which he’d come to enjoy over the years.
“Stop it.”
“Stop what?” Gai blinked, the smile dropping away for just a split second, only to return as soon as Gai realized it was gone. “Stop reading?”
“Smiling.” Tenzo huffed, hating the words that were coming out of his mouth. As much as he liked to complain about Gai’s seemingly endless amounts of energy, he had genuinely come to love his smile.
It was one of the brightest, most genuine smiles he had ever seen in his life, and whenever Gai turned it toward him he felt a strange warmth spreading in his chest. Kakashi had laughed at him the first time he talked about it and told him that everyone felt that way about Gai’s smile, but he hadn’t believed him.
Now, though, that warmth was missing. He couldn’t look at Gai’s smile and feel happy to see it because deep down he knew it was a lie. A mask that Gai was using to hide away the pain he was experiencing.
“I don’t-”
Deciding to make a daring move, Tenzo pushed past Gai into his apartment and headed straight for the desk. His goal was the pile of dishes that sat at the back of the desk, but as he reached out for them he couldn’t help but gaze down at the books.
Medical books, all turned to pages with detailed pictures of leg muscles or leg bones.
Kakashi had been right to ask him to check in on Gai.
“You’re worried,” he noted, focusing his attention back on the dishes and slowly starting to move them from the desk into a small space between his left arm and chest.. “You’re overthinking Lee’s condition and trying to make up for your lack of knowledge on the subject by studying as much as you can.”
“What are you, an interrogator?” Gai huffed.
“No,’ That line of work had been a part of Tenzo’s job once, a long time ago, but it was rare for him to take on that role in Anbu. “I’m a friend,” placing the last dish on the pile that now teetered in his arm, he maneuvered his right arm around it for a bit more support and turned toward the kitchen. “A friend who has specifically been sent by another friend to check in on you.”
“Always straight to the point,” Gai sighed as he followed Tenzo toward the kitchen, dragging his feet along the floor. “And what are you doing with my dishes?”
“Cleaning them, obviously,” coming to a stop in front of the sink, he leaned down and carefully placed the dishes down so they didn’t topple over. The last thing he wanted to do today was go shopping for a new set of dishes after destroying all of the ones Gai had. “Since you’re too focused on improving your knowledge pool someone has to make sure you’re going to be eating off of clean plates.”
“I can-” turning his head, he glared straight at Gai. “N-never mind.”
“That’s what I thought,” with that argument sufficiently killed he focused back on the daunting task he’d taken on. “Well, I’m doing the dishes maybe you can make some tea?”
“Tea?”
“Yes,” Tezno confirmed. “You do still remember what tea is, right?”
Gai sputtered, tripping over his words a few times before finally taking a deep breath. “Green tea?” His voice came out strained, but the question was quickly followed by the sound of feet shuffling and cupboards being pulled open.
“Green tea is fine,” Tenzo confirmed. Turning on the tap he watched as water flowed into the sink. The pile he’d collected was taller than anything he’d ever tackled before, but he was certain that it was a task he could finish in under ten minutes. Just enough time for Gai to make them some tea. Once the dishes were clean and the two of them were seated with their drink, then he would start asking the questions that were already swirling around in his mind.
How long has it been since you went outside?
When was the last time you got yourself some dango?
How is he doing?
Those were questions that would have to wait till later, though. Things he would ask when the two of them were sitting face to face with their hands wrapped around a warm cup of tea.
Until then, they would continue swirling around in his mind demanding an answer to the nagging concerns that came with each one of them.
“You don’t have to worry, you know,” Gai spoke as he stepped up to Tenzo’s side and held out his kettle to him. Taking the kettle, Tenzo popped it open and placed it under the tap. Once it was about halfway full he pulled it back and returned it to Gai. “I’m fine.”
“Fine,” he couldn’t help but laugh. Every moment he’d heard Kakashi say that exact line to him came rushing back to him. Bombarding him with memories of exhausted, haunted eyes staring through him as if he wasn’t even there. “Your student is in the hospital.”
“I know that.” Snatching the kettle back, Gai turned away with a huff. Instead of making his way toward the stove, though, he just stood there. His back facing Tenzo and his kettle clutched in his hand. “I know that…”
At that moment, Tenzo regretted agreeing to his Senpai’s request.
If he’d been smart he would have insisted Kakashi come instead. He would have pressured his Senpai to put off Sasuke’s training for just a few hours to check in on his friend. It was Kakashi, not Tenzo, who knew how best to support Gai.
He hadn’t, though.
Instead, he’d promised to take care of it. Assured his Senpai that he would make sure Gai was taken care of when he couldn’t be there for him. Now he was stuck with a pile of dishes higher than he’d ever seen, with no idea what to say next.
Well, there was one thing he could say. Something that he was certain he would never dare to utter in front of anyone else, even under threat of torture, but which seemed fitting in this moment.
“If it was Kakashi-Senpai, I’d be a mess.”
Gai spun round, an expression of utter horror on his face as he stared at Tenzo. “What?”
Grabbing the first dish from the pile he took a deep breath and started cleaning. “If it was Kakashi-Senpai in the hospital,” he continued. “I would be a mess. Or even Yugao, or you.”
It was difficult for him to admit, but all of his years of being trained to cut himself off from others and deny himself any emotional bonds had failed. Part of it was because of his Senpai’s insistence on friendship, which had rubbed off on him over the years, but there was also a piece of him that knew he never would have been able to succeed.
His friends were important to him. No matter how much he wanted to cut himself off from them, he couldn’t. It’s exactly the weakness that Kakashi had exploited when he found out about Tenzo’s mission to kill him, and what had led to him going against Danzo’s orders for the first time in his life.
If any of his friends were stuck in the hospital with an injury that might never be healed, he would throw himself into his work much like Kakashi always did. There wouldn’t be a pile of dishes growing on his desk or open medical textbooks, but his mental health would take a turn for the worst.
And if or when that happened, he knew two things for certain.
Kakashi would show up at his door dragging him outside for some fresh air insisting that he can’t give up, and Gai would be right behind him with that brilliant smile and promises of dango and spars to cheer him up.
“All I’m saying is…” finishing with the first bowl he placed it under the tap to wash away the leftover soap and placed it into the small drying rack beside the sink. “I get it. You don’t have to pretend to be alright for me, Gai.”
For a second the two of them just stood there. Gai holding onto his kettle full of water, and Tenzo washing dishes. The only sound that echoed in the small apartment was running water and the light clink of dishes as Tenzo added them to the drying rack.
Then, without any warning, Gai set the kettle down on the counter, threw his arms around Tenzo’s shoulders, and pulled him into a bone-crushing hug.
“Gai-” Tenzo croaked out as his bones cried out in pain. Immediately the Jonin loosened his hold, though he still kept Tenzo pinned against his body as he buried his face into his right shoulder.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered into Tenzo’s shirt.
“No apologies,” placing his hand on Gai’s arm, he ignored the water dripping from his fingers. There wasn’t much for him to say at the moment. Comforting other people wasn’t something he was good at, and he wasn’t about to pretend to be.
Comfort wasn’t what Gai needed, though. Kind words wouldn’t wash away the reality of the situation his student was in. They wouldn’t rid him of the memories of Lee’s battle, or the sight of his student laying in a hospital bed lucky that he had survived but with little hope for a continued life as a shinobi.
Kind words would do nothing for Gai during this time, so Tenzo didn’t bother to try and come up with any. Instead, he simply stood there and let Gai hide his face in his shoulder while he hugged him.
‘Just be there for him,’ Kakashi had told him when he’d asked why he wanted him to go check in on his best friend. ‘He needs someone right now. Usually, I would go, but I only have a month to prepare Sasuke for this next fight. So go in my place, please.’
So, that’s what Tenzo resolved to do.
Be there for Gai.
Ask him questions, check in on his well-being, and just listen.
There was nothing he could say to make the situation better, but if Kakashi was right he wouldn’t need to. All Gai needed was company, and that was something Tenzo could provide in spades.

Shippuden is so funny because there were a million reasonable ways for Naruto to realize why Sasuke acted like he did, but Kishimoto and the people involved in the production of the manga and anime were allergic to logic.
First rule from the Classic is that no one had the right to tell Naruto about his parents and ehdjdjdj???? Totally forbidden for the kid to discover the part of his heritage that echoed the Uchiha tragedy. Sasuke and Naruto can't bond through the destruction of their clans and tge sacrifice of their people, 'cause then how are they gonna blow each other arms in an epic fight at the end of the world?
They never touched the Hyuga saga either 'cause they realized it would have to involve Naruto and they would have to connect it to the Uchihas, another possible resolution that would impact their epic final. They couldn't properly develop the relationship between Hinata and Naruto because it was based on Konoha's politics and that was not the place they wanted for Naruto in the story.
We're talking about the same Naruto that on the Classic was like, fuck the Hokages, fuck the senseis, fuck the bingo book criminals, fuck the sannins, fuck the Konoha clans. He basically swore to change Konoha politics to Hinata and Neji in front of representatives of other secret villages like it was nothing. He said "fuck whatever y'all think you're doing to Gaara because you'd be doing it to me". In his first mission ever he screamed so much at Zabuza until he suicide.
Shippuden makes no sense because it erases whatever happened on the Classic in favor to sustain a deformed memory of the "old good days". All characters are a parody of who they were before. Suddenly all adults are useful and not incompetent in keeping the younger generation protected. The corruption in the core of Konoha never tainted Hiruzen legacy and Sasuke and Naruto were prohibited to bond over how fucked over they were given the things that old men did or failed to do.
The best way to view it is as two different stories with a common root. One talks about politics and ninjas and a corrupted state that couldn't protect it's youth and needed to be changed. The other is an epic tale of destiny and aliens and nostalgia.
They are not the same.

Neji would be an absolute bastard after this. Not only can he back up his shit talking, but so can his eternal partner who is likely looming like a fox shaped threat behind him staring the soul out of everyone. 
Neji: Your skill set is frankly underwhelming Hidan. Though I suppose it should be expected of a man that overcompensates with a three bladed scythe.
Hidan: What the fuck did you just say to me you mother fu-
Naruto glowing red with visible chakra surrounding him:
Hidan: …do I need to convert to whatever the fuck he’s on?
Sunshine and sunshine protector but the sunshine has an entire demon as a mental roommate and will also fold a god like origami if it meant that Neji would give him like half a smile.
Unsurprisingly quite a few Shinobi take one look at the pair of them and decide that they are above their pay grade. Both of them have a ‘Flee on sight’ status in just about every bingo book.

Hi! I was wondering what the rules for putting our entries in are? Do we use a certain tag, @ this blog or both? There is another event placed around the same time that is using #nejiweek2024, and I was wondering if there was a different tag you are using so it doesn't get mixed up. Also, do we have to complete a certain amount of prompts on the bingo card, or as many as we want/can?
Yes! We originally wanted to be the ones hosting Neji Week, but another blog has been promoting the event, so it's been a little confusing for us. So yes, the biggest difference is that the other one is a more general audience event, tops PG-13 ratings for the works.
So, we have to we want to refocus the event on it being more mature since neither of us is interested in censoring or limiting what participant do. So far we are using the #Neji Bingo, #Neji Bingo 2024 tags or you can tag the blog.
I have also been considering creating an open collection for AO3, but I have yet to check how to handle that.
It would be cool if you got bingo (5 consecutives prompts) in either a row, a column or a diagonal. But you can do as many or as little as you want!

neji and tenten for the character bingo (of course)
And temari
Anon you have activated me
the context!
NEJI:
HE!!!!! Obviously he’s one of my number one top faves ever. Like all other members of Team Gai he deserved so so much better. The number of times I have complained about his story. I will complain more. I cannot EVEN
I feel like I have to call Neji a pathetic wet cat since I literally described him that way in a fic once LOL I also would say he’s done nothing wrong but Lee would…actually, Lee would be very forgiving and not say anything bitter but Lee SHOULD beg to differ. Tenten should too, honestly; I think that their friendship was fairly one-sided up until after he and Naruto fought and that he and Tenten had to learn how to be actual reciprocal friends just as much as he and Lee did. I need both friendship evolutions in writing.
Free spaces I’m deciding to talk about Boruto era. I could talk forever about him dying but tbH. Part of me is happy he was killed off because I don’t want to know what his Boruto era would have been like. We know that seal didn’t go anywhere and he would not have struck out on his own or become Tenten’s househusband so I don’t care LMFAO
TENTEN:
A BINGO!! Of course. This is my girl. This is my WIFE. The wasted potential is so strong with her but all the Tenten stans know what’s up (including the filler team, the biggest Tenten stans of all). I would die for her. Like I’m just rotating her in my brain constantly. She is such a good parallel to Lee too with her specialty being so baseline but taking it to new heights. The sealing specialty of hers really should have been explored more as well. It’s so beautiful that we all agree that she would try to learn the Hiraishin. Tenten fam I love you 5ever
Free space: In the same way that I’m sort of happy Neji died, I’m glad Tenten didn’t just end up becoming His Wife (though I’m actually not sure she would have been since they didn’t pair her off comphet-ly with Lee, so maybe they wouldn’t have with Neji either! I’m imagining a world where Boruto era Team Gai are all alive and ALL single and it’s so beautiful. I can make my own romance don’t mess them up for me) Like at least she gets to run a business AND didn’t have kids! That she’s the ONLY childfree girl in her cohort is ridiculous. Based though. She is the unbothered queen of my heart. What is romance?? Dead childhood boyfriend whomst??? She doesn’t give a single fuck and for that we all simply have to stan
TEMARI:
I love her!!! could say so much about her but she was probably my favorite character during my childhood watch and the Sand Siblings in general are really near and dear to my heart for lots of reasons. If there’s any of the younger characters I feel is most “like” me, it’s her. She’s really special to me. I think half the reason I don’t write her more is because it’s too close to home honestly (what I mean when I say “I don’t go here” lol more like I CAN’T go here without SHOWING my ASS)
Free space: Boruto era is a straight up crime. I’m sorry. I can excuse her leaving the active duty part of her life but I cannot excuse her doing that in order to raise Nara babies. Never. Not Even Once. Let her continue to be an ambassador!! Let her teach!! Let her be on the Suna Council!! ANYTHING!!!! I’ll fight everyone

I noticed that when sasuke takes charge naruto always argues with him, but when naruto takes charge sasuke goes along with his plan. I can't believe naruto explained his reverse harem jutsu to sasuke and sasuke said okay I'll create an opening for you. He's always asking naruto about his plans and agreeing with him. Sasuke really makes so many exceptions for naruto. A question though: in episode 479 there were a lot of scenes that weren't in the manga like naruto studying to be a jounin and sasuke being detained... do you think these things actually happened in the manga?
Naruto don't mind following a plan laid by Kakashi or Shikamaru or Neji or even Kiba... But the moment Sasuke opens his mouth for anything, Naruto would argue Tooth and Nail with Sasuke XD XD. That's one of the USP of their dynamics. [[This goes for Sasuke too]].
As for those extra scenes in Episode 479..
This is what Kishimoto talked about Naruto's Journey from Genin to Hokage without becoming Jounin. If the Author himself says that Naruto was never meant to become Jounin, I don't know why the Anime made him do that... But Probably you could take that as a Comic Relief the Anime added in order to adapt a 18 page Manga Chapter into a 20 minute Episode.
As for Detaining Sasuke... Boy!! I never knew that scene triggered SNS fandom in the past and made many Sasuke leaning SNS fans to vehemently hate Naruto but ship SNS. All for a stupid filler scene... Anyways,
Look at this... Everyone in the Battlefield wants to kill and hack Obito into 1000 pieces. And they have very valid reason to.
And yet Tsunade stops them as their Hokage and left Obito with Minato as a case to be sorted out between Team Minato. If Tsunade can show such an Empathy towards a guy like Obito.... Do you think Tsunade or Kakashi (His own Sensei along with a Strong pillar like Naruto) would let Sasuke to be tortured in a Prison?
Do you really think it would have happened that way like they had shown in the Anime???
“I suppose it’s true that my bounty is worth less than yours... According to the book... And both were much less than Orochimaru sama”
Here, Kabuto is casually saying that Sasuke is in the Bingo book and has a higher place than Kabuto... but less than Orochimaru. Even Tsunade forgave Orochimaru after he came to save her in the War Arc.
Kabuto was keeping an Orphanage in the Gaiden and Well, Orochimaru.... You know what’s going on with him, Right? Do you think that they forgave all these shady villains.... But they abused Sasuke alone in the Prison????
None of the subtexts in the Manga indicates that he was tortured or abused. At the most, there might have been an Investigation where Naruto spoke on behalf of Sasuke in front of all the other Kages and he was forgiven. This is what I think had happened in the Manga.
