Neji ▪︎ Howlite

Now initially, I thought Neji being a pearl would suit him since pearls are gems you own and treat as your maid. But despite how thats fitting to Neji's lore pearl's don't exactly fight. I like to think Neji is obsessed with becoming better, willing to stop anything in his way if it means exceeding others expextations. Why Howlite? Well apperantly it represents patience, perspective and reducing stress, the reason why I thought of this was that I like to think that despite being property of other higher gems, he tries to force himself to forgive and forget. Despite how deep down being unhappy with his role, he puts himself in the perspective on the higher ups and blames himaelf for being a nuisance. And it leads me to think his gem placement would be on his forehead, gems with forehead placements are more logical and wise, not fully comprehending emotions because they see it as illogical. So in result, he forces himself to get stronger, become wiser to be enough for his higher ups, he wouldn't see the other gems as being cruel to him, more as if giving him a scolding for slacking off.

Sasuke • Onyx

I'll be honest, I picked this gemstone for asthetic and cuz the name sounded agnsty, fitting for Sasuke. He's dark and brooding so I thought a black gemstone would suit him, but all I could find is that they all mean grounding and protection. But anyway going off what I have, Sasuke would also be a fighting gem, but he would've gone rogue like the crystal gems. Sure he would fight for wars but I doubt he'd join a rebellion group ngl, he's too much of a loner for that. Though I found it a bit tricky to stick his canon lore to make it sense in this alien gematone space world. For the protection concept, I guess I could say he was betrayed by someoje close to him and thats why he rebelled, in a spinel way? Unwilling to let himself be hurt like that again he refuses to let anyone in, and due to this betrayal he is consumed by hatred and seeking revenge. I know very original. His gem placement would be in his chest, these types of gems are very emotional and easy to agitate, but considering this is Sasuke he would force himself to supress these emotions and trying his best in becoming a cold hearted soldier. Though it doesn't always work in his favor, he can't stay nonchalant for long.

NARUTO has always had a crush on you. Sure, there was that tiny little thing he had for Sakura at one point. But he likes to think he moved on from her. Especially when he started to go on more missions with you.

You never pushed him away, or turn your nose up at him, nor did you smack him around like Sakura tended to do when he got on her nerves or "being annoying" as Sakura liked to put it.

You weren't scary at all.

And learning you were an Uchiha didn't change his view at all. A last name doesn't matter in his eyes. Sure the eye thing is cool and all. And yeah, he'll definitely goad you into fighting with Sasuke to see who's Sharingan is better. But that didn't change anything with how he saw you as a person.

Because you treated him the same way. Even after you learned his secret too.

SAKURA was surprised to say the least. She thought she knew everything there was to know about you. Especially with how much you and her shared with one another.

She tried not to look too giddy at the prospect of another Uchiha being around but it was exciting. Of course she would poke and prod at you about your eyes and if you and Sasuke ever had those "clan" meetings together.

But whatever.

She took the news in stride. And even though she was a little more excited to ask you more questions about things. She still treated you like her friend while also hoping you don't see her obvious crush she had on you.

SASUKE always knew you were an Uchiha. And it wasn't like you kept it secret either. The two of you joined the academy at the same age and would walk home together as well.

So with everyone else learning you were an Uchiha was a pretty funny sight to see. Amusing, even.

Now, some would whisper at how he would obviously have a crush on her. Him and you were technically the last Uchihas after all. But little did everyone else know, he had long had a crush on you. Way before the massacre even. Not that anyone else had to know that.

And if you didn't feel the same way, then that was fine too. He wasn't going to hold the prospect of "restoring" the clan over your head just so he could have you. That would be stupid. Instead, he would love you quietly. Unless you showed the same signs of care and love towards him just as he had for you.

NEJI suspected you were an Uchiha for a long time. His point was proven when you activated your sharingan to win a fight against him. You came close of course, but still fell short.

Even though he would have preferred if you had shared this secret of yours with him in a different way, he was still grateful that he was the only one who knew. And even if it was selfish, he hoped you would only keep said secret with him alone.

Though, he wasn't going to stop you from sharing with someone else, of course. Caging the person he likes was the last thing he wanted to do.

ROCK LEE did not keep his secret of having a crush on you a secret just as you did not keep being an Uchiha from him a secret either. Your friendship was built on trust with one another and he hoped that one day that friendship could be something more.
