The Chunin Exams: Formation InoShikaNar - 100percentfluffster

Baby shino trying to make friends: I too know what it’s like to have a creature within me.

sasuke to itachi: you're my reason to live (derogatory)

My proposal is that his teleport has a range of around 2 konohas (yes wonderful measurement tool ik). The reason for this is primarily the scene from the kyuubi attack where he yeets the bijuu bomb thrown at him into a nearby mountain. Presumably, if the hiraishin range was unlimited, he would've sent it out into the ocean or smth. So my suggestion is that he threw it as far as he could, which eyeballing it is maybe 2 villages over.

This limited range would help solve a lot of plot holes - primarily the "where the fuck was Minato when X horrible thing was happening to Kakashi???". Easy, he was out of range.

(This is going off only the manga, idk if the anime ever explained his abilites better)

Like he and Shikamaru are walking in the woods and Naruto sees some bones laid out in a weird pattern so he’s like hey do you care if I look into this or do you want to go back? And behind him he hears shika’s voice say “we should go in the cave” and he just has to whirl around bc ain’t no way Shikamaru said that stupid fucking shit.

And sure enough Naruto repeats the question looking at shika and he watches him say no.

@leozitic said they were shikanaru coded. obviously. obviously.

it's actually impossible to know who of the two is happier rn

Itachi hugged him and pet his hair until he fell asleep, but just before he did Sasuke told Itachi that he loves him more than their mom or dad but not to tell them.

Itachi stays up all night thinking about it.

itachi left home when sasuke was young even after he had been groomed to take over the family company his whole life, and ended up starting his own business which quickly rose to the top of the industry (there are a LOT of rumors of dirty/backroom dealings there)

meanwhile sasuke inherited the uchiha family business after their parents died and he'd spent the last years being groomed in the same capacity itachi was (this is why he does, logically, understand why itachi left, but he still cant reconcile the love and hatred and abandonment)
