#narutorarepairdecember2018

This has to be one of the most distinguished and oldest of the Naruto pairings that I can recall personally in all of my years as a Naruto fan. Kakashi and Iruka were quite fatherly to Naruto, they worried over Naruto together, especially Iruka but Kakashi was always quick to offer him reassurance. They were always kind to one another, and when Iruka needed protection, Kakashi was there for him when he needed him most. 

Rolling with this “Late but Great” spree here’s SasuIno with Day 21: Winter Solstice.

For as long as I can remember these two could make one another smile easily. I still remember Naruto saying that he wanted to protect Sakura’s smile. She meant a lot to him and whether Sakura wanted to admit it or not, Naruto meant the world to her.

It’s a bit late but gosh dang it I had to submit something for Umoja! I gave my best effort since Mod Dragon and Mod Ghost are doing their super best! PLEASE ENJOY EVERYONE!!!

For Day 11, one of my favorite M|M ships is SasuNeji!

First of all, can we appreciate how Suigetsu was not one to be easily intimidated by Sasuke and vice versa? Both of them had elder brothers whom they greatly looked up to and lost tragically, and that’s something they definitely could have bonded over. Excellent swordsmen, and while Suigetsu made fun of Sasuke for not wanting to hurt others, he’s the same guy who told all the prisoners they released that they owed their freedom to Sasuke. I even think Sasuke taught Suigetsu a little restraint. And when the time came, Suigetsu protected Sasuke and his team with his best efforts and nearly his life.

Honestly these two should have ended up together....Ino brought out the best in Sakura and Sakura always had someone to defend her and be there for her when things were rough. And while Ino protected her, Sakura repayed that favor in kind. There’s a lot unsaid between them but I know in my heart ‘I love you’ is something their actions have said much louder and more clearly than any careless spite.

And, to cap off today’s theme, here’s Ino x Karin!
