Gai: Oh no, a cockroach!

Kakashi: Well, take off your shoe and kill it!

Gai: [takes his shoe off and smashes it with his bare foot]

Neji: NO-

Lee: GAI-SENSEI-

Tenten: OH MY GOD WHY-

[actualegg]

Let me slip on something a little more comfortable *slips into a deep depression*

[actualegg]

one thing i think people tend to overlook is that genin neji— the angry, self-righteous, arrogant prodigy— actively chose not to punch down.

he knew lee was weaker than him and didn’t get involved in senseless fights with him. if they were training, sure they fought, but neji and lee are framed as narrative rivals. you think we’d have a filler episode or a single manga panel showing them having a naruto/sasuke level fight over something stupid, but we don’t. (and i’m pretty sure lee instigated every single one of their fights.)

neji just so happened to come across team ten in the forest of death, and while they (hilariously) tried plan after plan to negotiate with him for their lives— mind you, this is one kid against an entire team of other kids— he walked away.

when neji was chosen to 1v1 hinata, he tried to talk her into avoiding that situation altogether. they both knew what the outcome of that match was going to be, and he spent a good bit of time trying to talk her out of fighting him, even trying to scare her out of proceeding with the match before it began.

and he did the exact same thing to naruto, which was yet another match he was *supposed* to win by a landslide. obviously we the audience know how that turned out, but no one in-universe knew that naruto v. neji was going to be a major upset, including naruto and neji. neji tried to make naruto stop fighting him even when he was winning.

and, like. you can chalk it up to neji being a smug little brat if you want. he was a smug little brat. but i think it’s very telling that The Kid To Beat only chose violence when his opponents did first.

My Naruto Headcanons

Tenten never married because she and Neji were secretly in love and were going to tell everyone after the war

It's still her biggest secret

Sakura and Shikamaru are Naruto's best friends

Sakura and Sasuke break up when Sarada is about 5 but co-parent so they can be with people they truly love

Kakashi and Iruka are in love and have been official life partners since the end of the war

Konohamaru wants to find his true love like Naruto and Hinata

Gaara and Rock Lee are very much in love but they didn't admit it until after Metal was born

Guy was Kakashi's first boyfriend but they agreed they were better as friends

Shikamaru refuses to believe he's turning into his father

Choji is happily turning into his father

Sai spent years trying to find his birth family after the war and never did

Karui wanted more kids but Choji was afraid to be a parent to even one

Killer B visits the Leaf so often everyone thinks he should move there

Naruto spends every one of Jiraiya's birthdays at Mount Myōboku and brings his kids when they're old enough

Himawari is everyone's favorite of the Uzumaki family

Shino is asexual but is deeply romantic

[actualegg]

Lost opportunities and the fact that we never got an alternative universe where Sasuke was friends with Shino and Neji.

Oh, who would know how it feels for a brother to sacrifice himself in place of his sibling, in a way that no one else would know what he did but it'd cause the sibling to suffer for what he brother did and what was done to him?

Shino had an older brother who went to Root so they wouldn't take Shino. Sasuke had Itachi, who killed his family BECAUSE OF DANZO TOO and sold himself as a traitor so Sasuke could live. Neji might not have a sibling, but that's the story of how his dad died in place of his twin brother, all because the youngest one must be the slave of the oldest one.

I know that in some other world they ended up in Anbu together. They all are so misunderstood and portrayed as cold, when in fact they love and care for their teammates so much they'd not doubt to kill anyone who threatened them.

The byakugan, the sharingan and the Aburame's bugs in one team? That'd be so cool. I think you only need to add Sai and the team of "fucked up siblings history" is complete.

Neji: whenever Tenten is mad at me, I go and tighten the lids of all the jars, so she has to come to me for help.

*sounds of glass breaking in the background*

Neji: it hasn't worked yet, but it'll happen.

[actualegg]

Hi! I was wondering if it at all possible can you show us how to draw Neji (just his face)? For some reason for the life of me I can’t get him! Hinata yes, neji no? I think it’s just those sharp , handsome, mysterious eyes of his 😍😚 I’m really trying to improve and I also think your artwork is amazing so why not learn from the best?

Ps I love the lantern/festival picture you did of them so romantic 💘

Hi)

Thank you!

Oki, I tried to analyze their face differences, hope this will be helpful

Official Naruto/Boruto Artwork

[actualegg]

these two panels side by side hahaa

[actualegg]

no turning back

[actualegg]

It’s so funny how one of the best relationships in the Boruto series is Ino and Sai

I mean Im not saying the other ships are bad but I mean look at these two

Been cute since day one (and I know people are gonna say “uhhh he didn’t even like her when they met” Sai didn’t like anyone. He was a menace with no filter but we loved him anyway)

They’re hot, they’re in love, they have a happy family. I mean they’re both winning
