So Everyone in Naruto had kids at the age of 20?

Damn! No wonder so many of them struggle with being parents! I’m not saying that all young parents are doomed to fail, but studies shows that having kids after more maturity dramatically increases the happiness of your family!

(That, and marrying the people you actually have the strongest feelings for, but that’s none of my business)

I am so honoured!!! Thank you so much for writing a beautiful, insightful analysis of my story's themes and recommending it.

One of the best and most heartbreaking SNS stories (here) was updated tonight and completed. It offers one consideration of how Konoha was embroiled in a war caused by its own contradictions and still failed to

1) stop training child soldiers

2) acknowledge the Uchiha, most particularly Itachi, and what the village did to them

3) bring the main house of the Hyuuga to accountability for the caged bird seals

4) create a future for its two heroes that did not involve bad hair, bad parenting, flat affect, and loveless straight marriages.

We all know Konoha is built upon contradictions. And we all know that the only way for it to survive those contradictions was to create hypocritical and morally ambiguous defenders of its shinobi (looking at you, Kakashi). Katie Madison in this story shows just how much of a mind-fuck it would actually take for the village to maintain so many of its old ways in the wake of the war. 

G R O S S! UGH! What the fuck is this bullshit?!

Can you imagine behavior like this in real life? You kindly greet your friend's long-absent partner and their kid gets in between you to try and keep YOU AWAY FROM THEM as your friend LAUGHS?! I'd be furious and publicly humiliated! What the fuck has Sakura been telling her daughter about her supposed best friend? And how dramatic and stupid is Sarada to make such a scene in public over a simple greeting?!

Fuck! What an anti-social, unbearable, and wretched family! Ino, yet again, is shafted by being forced to play along with this garbage. Honestly!!!

Love how they kept in Sarada feeling the need to protect her father from her mother’s friend with Sakura laughing, awkward and embarrassed in the background

still can’t believe itachi’s ultimate dream was to be a housewife that would just cook, raise sasuke, and tend to chickens, but his clan was just like “oh shit this four year old can do sick flips with a knife” and forced him to kill people. wild.

EXCUSE ME? Are my eyes betraying me? Why is the frame of this shot almost looking up this girl's crotch? All the way up her entire leg?!

What happened to the Kishimoto who felt awkward about drawing Sakura in a bathing suit? What about all of the praise he got for NOT sexualizing Ino/Sakura/Hinata/Tenten/Temari when they were preteens? What is UP with those HEELS??? Where is her weapons holder? Oh, right! Because drawing one in would only emphasize the fact that this girl isN'T WEARING SHORTS OR PANTS OR ANYTHING!

Why spend all this time adding in stupid, impractical details like a bow around her neck and a belt with a tassle while forgetting the BASICS of costume design?

Just a thought - maybe you wouldn't HAVE to try and win over the Pervert Consumer demographic if you gave her a compelling character drive or personality!!!

Cover reveal! 🌟

The Naruto: Sasuke's Story--Star Pupil novel releases October 6th, 2020. 🌟

Naruto, arms folded with his pouty, close-eyed fox expression: Come on! Like you guys haven't all had erotic dreams about your teammates after they saved your lives which made it hard to look at them the next time you met!? Don't lie.

The Konoha 9 (-Naruto & -Sasuke): 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀

Kakashi, dreaming about Obito most nights and also every time he sees his own eyes: No, no, you're right; it's normal.

Obito, miles away doing recon on Konoha: (X)o👁️

The thing that is truly insulting about them copying this scene is that there is NO WAY it holds the same emotional impact as the original.

Naruto crying out that he didn't need to be be saved, still so unable to Cope with the idea that somebody, let alone someone incredible like Sasuke, valued him enough to protect him, and Sasuke willing to die before yet another precious person was taken away before him, prickly to the very idea of a loudmouth like Naruto, but knowing nonetheless that Naruto is precious to him...

And then there was Haku in the background, one of the most heart-breaking 'villains' who understood what he was seeing, and even complimented Sasuke for his will, chillingly echoing that same behavior to save his own precious person...

It was a beautiful scene, and Boruto is just milking our memories with lukewarm reenactments with none of the heart : /

did they just-

Dean: Woah! It's too tall!!!
