Having insane thoughts about Mito outliving her husband, her entire generation, her married Clan, her homeland and what it means for her to be the first Jinchuuriki
Mito ramble below:
This was an excuse to draw elderly Mito but also I genuinely believe Mito becoming the jinchuuriki had….ramifications beyond what canon showed us
Like the tailed beasts were canonically free romaning prior to Madara and Hashirama’s gotta-catch-them-all Pokémon spree, you can’t be telling me people weren’t worshipping these giant chakra beasts as some kind of greater spirit or even god akin to yokai worship in Japan. Or at the very least, forces of nature that were something people fear to meddle with. Like in a “I don’t really practice [religion]”, but I’m not going to go desecrate the old shrine by the old tree, that’s bad luck kind of way
So. capturing the tailed beast within you. That’s unheard of. Insanity. Blasphemy. Is Mito still a human, can a human even contain a god? Or is she the fox now, wearing human skin? When her eyes turn red and slitted and she smiles a fox’s smile and her shadow belies something much older and angry and void of humanity, can anyone really trust that she is in control?
At least she had Hashirama, the god of shinobi to ‘contain’ her. And then she did not.
There has to be a section of people who believe Mito containing the Fox has cursed the land with the Fox’s vengeance. Uzushio, Konoha, the Senju grounds. And when early Konoha embroils itself in war and remembers Madara bringing the fox, or later Konoha experiences the fox Again, and Uzushio falls and so do the Senju,
isn’t that a logical conclusion?
Mito watching history pass her by, “blessed” with the Uzumaki’s long lifespan and whatever the fox dealt her. She married into the Senju, she belongs to that clan and not the Uzumaki anymore. But the Senju is gone and so is her husband and her brother in law, his body never recovered. Her natal clan is scattered to the winds and now she is princess of nothing. The survivors of Uzu, the diaspora that flees to Konoha, bitter over Konoha’s lack of action and claiming she has forgotten her roots, do not approach her.
The empty Senju compound rots around her and Uzushio becomes ruins she cannot return to, people grow up terrified and blaming her in equal breath for misfortune, for thinking that she deserved the power of a god. But what else is left for her now, but to continue living with the kyuubi sealed within her?
I don’t think the vitrol against jinchuuriki only started in naruto’s era, when the fox broke free of Kushina. I think it started much earlier from the very beginning.
So Mito is alone for a very long time, and yet she’s not, because she has with her the very curse that she is the jailer for, and when she finally nears the end and Kushina asks her how she managed it, Mito tells this sweet, cheerful little child to love the fox, because with weight and social ostracisation of being a jinchuuriki plus Uzumaki longevity (if not even the god of shinobi gets the chance to walk with an Uzumaki to the very end of life, who else can?) it is the only way to endure and carry this duty to the very end.

from @kokodrawings role reversal au: naruto as ambassador of the shinobi nations. please give some love for the beautiful design and read the tags on the original post for the full context 🧡
the idea just took root in my mind and i really think this would be such a beautiful life for naruto post-war. discovering the world, making it his home, and everyone welcoming him like family.
he would share stories, help people, spreading love, hope and peace. and even write about his travels ! the book would probably read like a wackjob wrote it but it would be so heartfelt :')
i've always loved the idea that a post-war naruto would feel such peace and happiness that he often (accidentally) goes into sage mode simply by breathing. like someone's talking to him and then maybe a moment of silence would pass and when they look back at him the markings of sage mode are on him. also, i imagine in this au he also lets kurama's chakra leak freely (kind of like he's letting him stretch) so he would sometimes have sharper features because of it too.
the necklace he wears are trinkets from the five great nations, each an official seal from the kage of each village, a sign of their acknowledgement and also works like a pass to wander through the countries freely.
I was re-watching Naruto and realised what masashi kishimoto shouldn't have bothered with female characters in the series at all. If you remove all the female characters from the series it makes no difference in the entire outcome of the series whatsoever. Everything would happen exactly as it did. Naruto would still have his 4 close best friends and 3 of those would be his gay situationships the other 4th would be his pet fox.
Kishimoto did such a bad job at writing female characters that literally every single woman in the entire series exists to serve a man. All the women were created for a male character and not a single woman has an ounce personality or character depth of their own when compared to what their male counterparts got. There are moments in the series when kishimoto tried to show "feminism" and "gender equality" but it's from such a male perspective it makes me want to puke.
The character designs of female characters were good and I even liked some of them. There was so much potential to create some really amazing female characters but he did such a bad job at writing the women in narutoverse it makes me question whether he has ever met or interacted with a human woman ever.
