#Oh my god Kurama-

[giggly-squiggily]

OKAY SO IM VERY BRAIN

LIGHT SPOILERS FOR YU YU HAKUSHO TOURNAMENT ARC!!!

I’m just thinking of when they’re all in the hotel and Yusuke is just eepin like a madman.

Kurama kneels by his side to try and wake him up, for Kuwabara was being far too rough towards the exhausted boy.

He brushes a stray hair out of his face, calling his name softly.

Yusuke doesn’t even stir.

Something else, he thinks. He starts to gently rub the boy’s upper back and shoulders.

He was half expectant to be met with no response, but he definitely was not anticipating to hear gentle giggles emitting from the sleeping male.

How precious, he thinks as he uses his fingers to trace patterns on his upper back and neck.

Hiei is watching stone faced, but internally scoffing at the inevitable childish side that the punk has. Kuwabara is watching in shock and awe. Urameshi??? Ticklish????

Genkai watches with an amused grin; she’s known this little fact for months.

In the end, Yusuke still doesn’t wake up, but his companions are all relaxed upon hearing his gentle laughter. 

STOP IT

GET OUT

THAT'S SO FREAKING CUTE OH MY GOD-

I wanna be woken up by Kurama now holy-

The fact our favorite fox is just LIVING for it- keeping his touch super gentle and sweet while Hiei's in the background secretly jealous judging them and Kuwabara is surprise Pikachu-ing it cause "Yusuke's ticklish??? HUH????" and Genkai's grinning all knowingly- silently gesturing Kurama to try this and that and Yusuke giggling in his sleep HELP MY HEART???? Oh god I am so soft right now DUCKY THIS WAS SO GOOD AHHHHH!!! Thank you for sharing this oh my HEART *sobs in happy squiggily noises*

My love for Kurama just grew tenfold I'm so flustered just thinking about him now kjlarkjaejkrjaejr

[dizzybizz]

need to learn how to draw spiky hair for hiei need to perfect my art skills for hiei- actually

[ragingbullmode]

uhhh the ghostrider post but im not finishing it bc i destroyed my hand just penciling this shit out

[mixelation]

most problematic ship?

ooooh NOW we're getting spicy

i assume this is asking for the most problematic ship i actually like, because idk why me just saying a fucked up ship would be interesting. however i think most of my ships are pretty meh on the problematic front. like i like them a little unhinged, but i also tend to go for ships where both parties genuinely like each other and have SOME semblance of care for the other person's feelings

i guess probably the soft spot i have for a really fucked up ryou/bakura dynamic? the "you have no friends or people who like you but ME, because i have violently removed all your other relationships" vibe <3 not to mention the super problematic 5000 year age gap!!!

[rouge-the-bat]

anyone else ever notice hieis lil bounce here. bc it makes me lose my mind

[skrunksthatwunk]

mannnn ok i've been waiting for the yyh fixation cycle to put me back on (!!!!!!!) rather than (thing i am so normal about but it's dormant) and it's taken a little longer than i expected and i was worried it was going away but i am happy to announce that WE ARE SO BACK BABYYY

[the-cooler-king]

also since I finished kamisama kiss. Its a slightly better show if you imagine everyone is dating but I loved it. Loving the harem vibe for nanami she deserves it.

Also kurama and mizuki supremacy

[fruiteggsaladit]

I'm so invested in an annoyed Keiko. A fed-up Keiko. A genuinely angry and Pissed Off Keiko. I'm so resistant to her having friends among the Urameshi team bc I want her to have beef with them just so I can feel enriched by her rage!

Mostly I feel it's most logical if she's pissed at Kuwabara for something - they know of each other from school and know each other through Yusuke. The others she knows too little to have strong feelings about (she doesn't even remember getting assaulted and nearly made into a demon by Hiei!).

Him disrupting the wake could have had consequences! What if he managed to knock over the items on the altar? Or even knocked the box so badly that Yusuke's corpse fell out a little? Or what if this was upsetting to Atsuko and Keiko grew angry that he wasn't behaving well (while she was, and she was Yusuke's best and childhood friend.)

She could be pissed off about something "stupid", but I'm very fond of the concept of her being Pissed and Right For It! Especially fond of Kuwabara "All women are queens!!!!" Kazuma having constant interactions w a girl who does not make it a secret that she dislikes him and he can't even say she's wrong for it. He wants to make up for it! But Keiko won't let him because she's uninterested in that.

These started as tags but then it devolved into yyh alternate universes concept so I'm putting them into the main text here:

We need more aus goddamit! #5

Abstract:

Kurama and Keiko know each other before Kurama knows Yusuke through a study group that was a guise for group date possibilities but then turned into an actual study group.

Kurama would be next logical target of Keiko's ire if one was to be making something up, a studious person who goes to a human school in the human world and who she knows through Yusuke and Kuwabara. Do you get more upset if a walrus stole your grandfather clock or if a fairy did it?

She could be upset with him for being smarter than her, and this appearing to be an effortless intelligence. Big fish meets bigger fish in a new pond sort of feeling. Regardless if they both needed to study in academic matters to get the results they wanted, Kurama getting better grades if they had the opportunity to compare could be an easy sore spot for Keiko.

Maybe it could be an after-school inter-school study session.... Noting his good results, Keiko compliments him, and Kurama is being a touch too humble and polite for Keiko's liking, doing the "It's not much, not really" routine four rounds more than necessary, and things quickly devolving from there.

Sudden inspiration from Saiki K: what if Kurama purposefully got himself good-enough grades instead of perfect grades so as to seem more like an average human boy who doesn't want to rock the boat in any way. Oooh, this would definitely piss off Keiko if she ever got close enough to realise! She believes in effort! She would not like this, I think she'd understand if given an explanation and accept it, but she still would not like that. Growing up with Yusuke, her first instinct might even be that Kurama would be getting average grades on purpose for the kick of it.

Kurama would know she doesn't like him or bears some grudge against him, and I don't think he'd mind it very much, but he would be impressed (sweatdrop kind) that she can keep a straight face for the most part while studying with him and the others in the study group.

Surprisingly and somehow that's enough to create a genuine friendship between them, which is a strange but pleasant surprise to Yukimura "You're the only Real One here" Keiko and a balm to Kurama's "my mum is fucking dying" and Hiei's "I'm enslaving humanity and am not noticing you being uncomfortable with it as a half-human with human family".

Does he reach out to her when shit gets real? No, but he won't do that even with Shiori, his mum, or Maya, a presumably childhood friend whose memory pertains to Kurama he erases!!

Boy does it feel awkard though to see her in the Hiei-Yusuke confrontation though! And when Keiko eventually sees him again and can recognise him.

[rayshippouuchiha]

Can i get your thoughts on something?

So in quite a few naruto fics i have read the author adds a fox summoning contract as a thing (which vibes, i love it!) but with that being a thing, could the hypothetical summoner summon the kyuubi despite him being inside a jinchuuriki?

Since Kurama is a giant fox and probably would be on par with, if not surpass, the power levels of like Manda, Gamabunta, and Katsuyu.

(I find this idea so interesting tbh and would totally suspend my belief for it ngl)

Oh god I am such a huge fan of the Fox Summoning. I adore it.

I've always felt like it's a thing that could go a couple of different ways really depending on how you wanna play with it.

For example:

You could say that the biju, being what they are, exist outside of the context of the summoning contracts. Even if you want to have them taking the top-ranking spot of the animal that they manifest as, you could still say they are not actually tied to the summoning line given their very nature.

You could say that the biju are tied to the summoning contracts but the various seals that keep them inside the jinchuuriki keep them from being summoned by blocking the chakra pull etc etc.

OR you could have fun and say that anyone who actually manages to sign the summoning contract a biju belongs to and attempts to summon the Boss Summon aka the appropriate Biju instead summons that biju's jinchuuriki. So say someone besides Naruto gets the Fox Summon scroll and decides to summon the Boss? Poof, they end up with Naruto blinking at them all "what the fuck?"

[hamspamandjamsandwich]

honestly I was satisfied with the kurahi content in the live action

they made Hiei so openly jealous, I LOVE IT

The face he pulls when he says “that spirit detective?”

And oh my GOD I was foaming at the mouth when Hiei stormed away from Kurama and Yuusuke and said “go ahead and enjoy each others company.”

Oh so he’s JEALOUS jealous!

Honestly really great subtlety over all with them and it makes my heart SIIIIING

Naruto u. X civilian single mom!reader?

- “an angel” -

STARRING : Naruto Uzumaki x Single Mom Civilian Reader SFW CW: injury , blood, fem!reader, 20y!Naruto , hokageintraining!Naruto , singlemom!reader ,

links : masterlist .+. request rules

﹒⪩⪨﹒

Naruto winces from where he's limping down the dark, empty streets of Konoha. His hand clutches his broken and bleeding arm, dragging himself at a slow pace. His clothes are tattered, pieces of fabric practically breaking away in the wind. His pant legs and sleeves are gone, his jacket is falling apart at the seams with burn marks and holes. God, he thinks he's leaving a trail of blood behind him-

Sakura's going to have his head when he shows up at the hospital like this. He shivers at the blurry thought of the pink-haired woman. She would kill him if she knew that he insisted the chunin at the guard gates not call anyone to assist him to the hospital, promising to them that he could do it himself and that the wounds were superficial. And he could! He survived a war damnit, chakra exhaustion and blood loss is nothing!

Oh wow, he was so dizzy. His chakra veins are almost empty, stores drained. What little is flowing through his body is sluggish, moving at a snail's pace. Distantly, he could hear Kurama in a panic. Hm. That's probably not good.

Naruto giggles deliriously against the wall of the building he was using to support himself. He looks up at the sky, bursting into a fit of laughter. The moon was so pretty and round tonight... it was such a beautiful night. The wind was soft, the moon was full, the crickets were screaming...

Huh, he didn't know crickets could scream.

And was that thunder he heard? Movement close to him catches the corner of his eye, and he barely manages to turn his head before his knees buckle and he's collapsing onto the concrete. He doesn't react to the skin being scrapped off his uncovered knees, body numb. Wow, is this what floating feels like? Maybe that's why his vision is going spotty and dark.

He feels gentle hands grab at his face, tilting them up. His eyes meet a pair of sparkling ones wrinkled in concern. The figure was wreathed by the moonlight, body alit with a soft, white glow. It looks like wings. A soft voice calls out to him through the static in his ears, mouth forming the words, "-Ar- you alri-?" The last thought Naruto has is, "an angel," before his head droops and he blacks out.

﹒⪩⪨﹒

You weren’t sure what you were expecting when you were taking your 3 year old daughter to the hospital because she had the flu, but it certainly wasn’t seeing the savior of Konoha bleeding out and almost dying on the side of a street.

You stand there in shock before screaming, beginning to run towards him with urgency, your daughter in your arms. As you approach you watch as he drops to his knees. Hurriedly setting your daughter down, you grab at his face, hand immediately going to his pulse on his neck.

“Oh my god, are you alright?!” You say, panicked. His eyes are glassy, and he only manages to weakly giggle before his head drops and his body slumps, eyes closing. “Oh my god! Uzumaki-sama!”

You can’t just leave him here, but the only thing you could do is run to the hospital- But what if he dies out here? You can’t have that on your conscience! But you can’t carry him, you don’t have that strength-

You scoop up your confused daughter and make a run for the hospital two streets down, your shoes pounding against the pavement.

﹒⪩⪨﹒ He wakes up to the sound of heart monitors beeping steadily, his eyes groggily opening. Fluorescent lights beam into his sensitive gaze and he groans, closing them again. He knew heaven had to be bright but he didn't know it was hospital-light bright...

Naruto heard soft giggling reach his ears, and he blearily blinked his eyes, craning his stiff neck to stare at his surroundings. By his side sat a beautiful woman. Her hair sparkled in the light, her eyes soft and gentle. He stared in awe. Was this the angel he saw?

In her lap was a small child. Her hair was just like the woman’s in color, except it was pulled back into two pigtails. She wore a little mask that covered the bottom half of her face but her eyes glittered with mirth. Was this the angel’s daughter? A cherub, was that what they were called?

His eyes drifted to the woman again, her face framed by the fluorescent light behind her.

“Beautiful.” He muttered.

His raspy croak caught the attention of the woman. She gasped. “Uzumaki-sama, you’re awake!”

“‘m not dead?” He slurred, blinking his eyes again. Wow, he was dizzy. His head hurts.

“No, you’re not. But you could have been, you idiot.” came a familiar voice from the foot of his bed, and he felt sweat drops bead down his forehead. Ah. So he wasn’t dead.

“Listen, Sakura-“

“Don’t ‘Listen Sakura’ me, you knucklehead!” The pink headed medic hissed. “A broken arm, pulled hamstring, fracture in 5 of your ribs, several gashes on your legs and broken arm, a severe concussion, severe blood loss, severe chakra exhaustion and you told the gate chunin, 'I'm fine'?!”

Naruto winced. He didn’t know it had been that bad-

“If Mrs. (Y/N) here hadn’t been there to see you bleeding out and dying on the side of that road, who knows what could have happened!” Sakura said, exasperated. She pointed at the woman who was sitting by the side of his bed. “You were lucky she was there!”

Naruto’s gaze turned back to her. Wow. She really was beautiful. “Thank you,” he said sheepishly, uninjured arm going to rub at the back of his neck.

“It was no problem.” She said with a smile. Naruto tried to ignore the sound of his heart rate monitor beeping faster. “I’m just lucky this little one here needed some cold medicine,” she says, giving her daughter a finger to wrap her tiny hand around, muffled giggles coming from behind the mask.

The gaze of the small kid turned onto Naruto who was still lying down, before she twisted in her mother’s lap and asked, “is he going to be my new daddy?”

Naruto thinks he just choked.

“Don’t be silly, love, Uzumaki-sama is just a man who needed help.” The woman chides, tapping her daughter on the nose.

Naruto isn’t listening. He’s too busy trying to force his heart rate to stay normal.

“I’ll be taking my leave now, I have to drop my daughter off at daycare then go to work.” The woman says, getting up with her child in her arms. She smiles at Naruto once more. “I hope you make a full recovery, Uzumaki-sama.”

“…W-wait-“ Naruto says frantically, searching the room. “Sakura can I borrow your clipboard and pen-“

“What? Here, just take some paper and the pen.”

His attention turns back to the woman. “Write your number or address down? I want to thank you properly bu so you sometime when I get out of the hospital.” He says, gesturing for Sakura to hand her the pen and paper.

“Oh, I couldn’t! It was just basic human decency, you needed help-“

“Please? For- for my sake. It’s not basic human decency, you saved my life.” He pleads.

She hesitates, before sighing and taking the pen, scribbling on the paper. “Okay, if you insist, Uzumaki-sama. I’ll leave my telephone number with you.”

His heart soars. “Thank you.” The woman begins leaving the room, smiling at him. “Once again, I wish you a safe recovery Uzumaki-sama!”

Oh, Naruto was cursed from the beginning. When Namkize and Uzumakis fall for someone, they fall hard. And Naruto was both.

He thinks his face is red and his heart won’t go back to beating at a normal pace as much as he wants it to.

“Sakura?”

“Hm? Yes, Naruto?”

“Can you punch me?”

“Wha- are you insane? You’re still concussed!”

“Do you have cures for love sickness?”

“What are you talking about? No.”

“Then I need you to punch me. Because I’m in love.”

“…Oh! Oh. Oh, Naruto.”

“Yeah…”

Feral

Summary: Kurama goes Feral. It's more amusing than one would think. (1000 ish words, humor and friendship)

***

“Uh… what is happening here?” Yusuke asked, staring at a scene he hadn’t quite expected to walk in on.

Hiei at Yusuke's side, simply nodded along, his eyes fixed on the scene before him.

Kuwabara, battered and bruised, with some silver cuffs on his wrists that suppressed his Reiki, was sitting awkwardly, more or less in Youko Kurama’s lap. The great Youko had his arms wrapped around Kuwabara’s waist and was alternating between rubbing his face against the back of Kuwabara’s throat, cheeks, and the top of his head. Youko's white silvery tail was thumping loudly against the floorboards, as he cuddled and nuzzled against Kuwabara, whining like an overexcited animal.

“...Uh… well…” Kuwabara shrugged, going through a series of sounds as he tried to find the words to explain his odd situation, “Uh… the guy who captured us injected Kurama with something that turned Kurama into his Youko form… but he’s all… kinda feral now? He won’t talk to me either, he just makes these noises…”

Kuwabara was cut off as Youko let out a stranger chattering sound, followed by a keening yip, and then proceeded to cuddle Kuwabara harder. He buried his face into the back of his throat, his tail wagging even more enthusiastically.

Kuwabara sheepishly pat Kurama's leg and with a touch of embarrassment, but plenty of affection, cooed, "Yeah, you're just a sweet guy, ain't ya Kurama?"

“He’s become a cuddle monster,” Yusuke managed incredulously, his voice a mix of awe and delight. It seemed he might laugh at any moment, but was somehow managing to keep the amusement at bay, if at least for his own safety.

“The demon who captured you both and drugged Kurama. Where is he now?” Hiei asked stepping into the room. He was doing much better than Yusuke at keeping a straight face, though his eyes were rather wide.

Kuwabara smirked, and then gestured to the corner by their door, “Oh, well. I guess the guy was hoping Kurama was gonna like eat me or kill me, or something other than cuddle me. But Kurama sniffed me, and just started to cuddle, and it pissed the dude off. He got real pissy about it.”

A bubble of laughter snuck out of Yusuke’s throat as he started to reach his breaking point of keeping a neutral expression.

Kuwabara lifted his voice and continued to speak over him as he kept up with his explanation, “So the guy came towards us, clearly ready to do something to us, or well, really me. And Kurama attacked him. Just leaped at him with this ferocious snarl, fangs out, claws out, and boom! Snapped his neck, and left him in the corner!” Kuwabara lifted his cuffed hands and pointed to the corner of the room by the door again.

Yusuke and Hiei stepped further into the room and peeked behind the door. There, slumped in a heap, was the demon who had abducted Kurama and Kuwabara several hours ago.

Yusuke lost it, “Oh my God. I’ve been scared shitless, and Kurama, in a feral state, just snapped a dude’s neck that we couldn't take out as a team! And he’s here cuddling you like you’re his kit!” He threw back his head and laughed, ignoring Kuwabara who snapped at him to shut it.

Hiei stepped further into the room, and Kurama suddenly darted at him.

Yusuke’s amusement fell away as he tensed with worry, but it was unnecessary.

Kurama had rushed Hiei, sniffed him, and then made another high-pitched keening sound, and began to rub himself against Hiei, cuddling and nuzzling Hiei as if he was greeting an old friend. Kurama had even gone as far as dropping to his knees, so he could tuck himself under Hiei’s chin, and nuzzle at the fire demon’s throat. 

Hiei smirked at Kurama’s behavior, and chuckled, “Putting Kurama in a feral state was a foolish thing to do. We have Kurama’s scent on us. Even in a feral state, he would be able to recognize his own scent on someone and know if it made them his enemy of friend. He most likely regards us as his pack mates; his family.”

“That would explain why he keeps trying to feed me rats,” Kuwabara sighed, holding out his hands towards Yusuke.

Understanding immediately, Yusuke approached Kuwabara and carefully snapped the cuffs off, the silver shackles falling to pieces on the floor. Kuwabara sighed with relief and rubbed his wrists, before he stretched his palm and sent a sparkle of his Reiki over his hands. “Oh thank goodness. It’s back.”

“Kurama’s been trying to feed you rats?” Yusuke asked, sliding under one of Kuwabara’s arms, and hauling the large man to his feet.

Bruised and aching, but not too bad off, Kuwabara kept a hand curled around Yusuke’s shoulder and leaned on him for support. “Yeah. There were rats in the room. Kurama hunted them down, and he’s been trying to get me to eat them!” Kuwabara gave a sheepish grin, and gestured to a thin blanket behind them, “I’ve been stuffing them under there to appease him!”

Yusuke started to laugh again when the yipping Youko was suddenly invading his space. He snipped Yusuke’s cheeks, and neck, and then made a pleased, “mrrr,” sound before cuddling into Yusuke’s space, and rubbing his cheek against Yusuke’s throat.

“Whoa! Whoa!” Yusuke gasped, half laughing, “Wow, he’s happy to see us.”

“This isn’t like… gonna be forever is it?” Kuwabara asked, reaching out to gently pet one of Kurama’s long ears.

Kurama purred and then gave Kuwabara’s chest a nuzzle, happy for the attention.

“I have an idea of what they gave him, so I’m sure it’ll wear off,” Hiei said, grinning at Kurama. Kurama for his part, saw Hiei’s grin and rushed back to Hiei to rub against him a few more times before darting back to Yusuke. Kurama bounced between his three friends, yipping and whining, his tail wagging rapidly with excitement.

“He’s going to be mortified!” Hiei added with a cackle.

“Well, let’s head on out. We can stop by Koenma’s, or go see Yukina. Someone. Let’s make sure we fix this,” Yusuke sighed, grinning at Kurama as he affectionately nipped at Yusuke’s jawline. Yusuke used a free hand to gently push Kurama away, and chuckled, “While I bet his mom would love a more cuddly Kurama, we can’t let him stay like this for too long.”

“He’ll follow us right?” Kuwabara asked, limping as Yusuke helped to guide him out of the room.

“Oh, I don’t think we have to worry about that!” Hiei snorted, holding the door open for Yusuke and Kuwabara. The moment the pair cleared the threshold, Kurama darted off after them, before coming back to Hiei and whining.

Hiei reached out and patted Kurama’s cheek, “Calm down, I’m coming too. Go on now.” 

Kurama yipped and then exited the room. Hiei followed, snorting with amusement as he followed after his friends, “I can’t wait for Kurama to go back to normal. He’s never going to live this down.” He then laughed loudly and shut the food firmly.

The villain, whose body was still slumped in the corner, dead for his efforts, was quietly and easily forgotten.

SSR "Amanojaku, the Prison Guard of Hell" Ushio Kurama Card Story: The Student Staying Up Late and The Teacher Working At Night (Part 1)

　Location: HAMA HOUSE OX ROOM

Ushio: 7 seconds left until midnight... 6...

Here you go... the latest news from Midnight Radio "WEB DIVE"...

..., ....

A... PatiBato collaboration cafeeee!?!?

(yikes, I ended up yelling, hopefully Mu-chan won'tー)

Muneuji: zzz...zzz...

Ushio: (ーoh, I didn't wake him. Thank god he's a deep sleeper...)

*sighー... so? When is it? Where is it being held? Is there any new merch? Why is that information always kept a secret for later? Actually, won't these small bursts of information be better for my heart...?

.... well, time to let it all out on my private account.

(Though, I wonder if any of my otaku buds would want to talk about it together...)

(Wait, but there's probably no one as excited for it as I am. They might misinterpret and things would just end up awkward)

Heh... got so riled up my throat ended up dry. Might as well go down for a drink.

　Location: HAMA HOUSE DINING HALL

Ushio: (...? The lights are still on. Is there someone there?)

Sakujiro: This goes here and that goes there and down here, hehehee...

Ushio: (Ka-Karigane-san....? He looks like he's making clothes again but his hands their leaving afterimages so fast he look like an Asura... That's terrifying, let me just slip away...)

Sakujiro: Hm... seems using this material would leave some skin exposed when being worn

Kurama-kun, what do you think?

Ushio: Wh-wha!? You found me out so fa-...., how you could notice I was there even without looking at me is gross...

Sakujiro: There may be no test tomorrow, but staying up all night when you don't need it is poison for your body.

Ushio: ...there was just something I need to do. Not like midnight counts as late nights anyways.

Sakujiro: Then it was my mistake. Forgive me for being a nuisance

Ushio: Well, there's no harm in knowing, I was just stopping by the kitchen before going back to my room.

Sakujiro: Is that so? Then I presume you were taking a nightly walk for a fresh change of pace? I was also about take some time for myself as well

Ushio: Huh...

(I can't see past him so I shouldn't bother... but, the outfit he's making now...)

Um, is the outfit you're making of.. that popular TCG character? From "Malice of the Guardians"... if I wasn't mistaken.

Sakujiro: Oh, are you aware of it?

Ushio: Rare and popular cards fetch quite a high price, collectors also have the card locked up...., ....so I haven't even seen it on spine.

Sakujiro: Indeed. The "Crying Red Demon" came from "MotG"... this is a cosplay outfit for that blood red demon.

Ushio: Huh... being able to know things I don't even know of it is something.

Sakujiro: Thank you very much. It's just that thin fabric is quite worrying to me.

I also need a way to cut down the budget needed for the weapon, thought I haven't found a way how.

Ushio: Eh... You're not only making the outfit but the weapon too? It's a metal bat so it should be metal... right...?

Sakujiro: Oh! So you understand? The feel of the material is its most important point this time. A cosplay without any sort of familiarity are but clothes that don't catch eyesー

Ushio: Not really.. I was just interested is all...

(Yikes, ended up talking too much about otaku stuff...! Gotta change the subject somehow..)

Why do you need to make this kind of outfit anyways? Will HAMA TOURS be needing something like this or...?

Sakujiro: Au contraire, this here outfit is solely a personal project of mine.

Ushio: !

(A cosplay of a TCG character, for a personal project...? No way...)

Uh... Karigane-sanー

Sakujiro: Speaking.

Ushio: Are you, by any chance... an otaku...?

[sasukesun]

kishimoto literally said in an interview that neji died as a cupid for naruhina, not that it’s not clear enough by the manga, but the creator said that himself. how can anyone take his death seriously? and when you look at the writing it’s just clownery after clownery.

as this post says, you have the wooden spears being fired, enough time for not one, but two people to jump in front of the attack, but not enough time to use a jutsu to break them, nor to push who’s getting attacked, and the spears aren’t even powerful enough to impale multiple people, just one. so neji, a jounin, end up taking the shot.

and then neji starts his final words with this:

it seems that he is trying to push hinata to naruto, which makes no sense of his character to do that. of course he continues with this:

and that makes a bit more of sense considering that if hinata’s life is at risk, it means his is as well, because, you know, he is her slave and must do that. but still, neji and naruto’s relationship has never been about hinata, it’s out of character of neji to do that, in his final moments above all.

neji isn’t dying for naruto, he isn’t dying for his comrade, the wooden spike would only kill hinata, neji is dying for her, it makes no sense of him to say this either, they tried to push this idea that neji was dying for naruto because “he was called a genius” but i can’t buy any of that when it just looks like he was used as a cupid (and confirmed by kishi after).

and then what happens after obito mocks neji’s death? hinata says this:

pushing some guilt trippy will of fire discourse onto him, and not only that, but the content itself sounds similar to naruto’s speech to his dark self only to repress it, that he needs to be the man, the hero, people expect him to be, which we know it’s bullshit, another part of the story that doesn’t look like it’s taken seriously by kishimoto either.

(would also like to comment about hinata saying “what inspired neji and carried him this far were those very principles” because they are again trying to mask how neji died for hinata as her slave, sweeping things under the rug much).

hinata’s speech to him, which is complemented by kurama for some reason (why is everybody out of character in this moment oh my god), isn’t even that romantic if you look at it, it has a lot of “will of fire” content, and it makes waterfall of truth and boruto (and naruhina consequently) even more ironic and goofy imo. incredible how the parts of naruto’s character going wrong at the ending are all tied to boruto huh.

and if you look at naruto holding hinata’s hand… it’s still not shippy on naruto’s side… he had just thought about everybody “who’s been on his side” (those people… wtf really), and says it’s because of all of those people, not just hinata. even after all this bullshit, naruto can’t genuinely reciprocate her lol.

just can’t wrap my head around how unserious this entire moment is, how damaging it is to the ending and naruto’s character, how it was set up only to push for the cash cow that is boruto, the level gets so low when the own writer doesn’t care about the writing.

disclaimer: sasusaku shippers dni, your ship is just as bad
