*weakly* here I am with my ninja clan

my birthday is in july! :)

shout-out to characters who let their childhood friend situationship dictate the course of their life to a degree that spits in the face of any and all reason. they're doing important work.

hey does this shoutout apply to people who may or may not actually be like this in real life ..? asking for a friend

no sorry it's one of those things that's only enjoyable in fiction. like child soldiers or blonde men.

care and tenderness as violating and coercive acts. being forced into vulnerability for your own good by someone who does not actually see you as a person but as a symbol or a figure too valuable to let die. you have power over so much but not your own body. you have lost the right to risk. everybody cheered

Kabuto's backstory was so funny for confirming that Konoha does in fact have an orphanage, which means they put Naruto, Sasuke and countless other orphans through All That for no goddamn reason

I was going to add tags to the original post about Hiruzen selectively choosing when to care that his child soldiers aren't growing up with caretakers but then I remembered that Kabuto hasn't, like, ever met him. Nor do I remember him ever visiting the orphanage. Nono was probably running that shit independently, all things considered.

this lamb keeps trying to sacrifice itself even though no one really needs or wants it to do that

The dash is boring and depressing right now, which means it's time to have Naruto opinions. Does anyone a topic that the fandom as a whole hasn't discussed about 80 times over in the past 2 decades.

More than ever we need to see butsuma's death.... it's somehow more emotional than expected.... perhaps he had youthful dreams too... we get a flashback whrre he briefly hoped for peacd before abbandonning the idead and leaving the responsability to the next generation.... 3 second hsmd battlefield meeting after their dad died... there is hope again after all ALTHOUGH all is doomer... tbrm wistfully enter butsumas office.... he will support peace now..he's ambivalent about the change but he has ideas.... he knocks down a scroll which opens itself... last shot the camera zooms in on it IT WAS SEWER PLANS BUTSUMA WAS WORKING ON

woke deadbeat father: i'm just going to get some oat milk

you can make deeply personal post on the internet & someone will reply to it with "this is so sasuke" and i think that's beautiful
