I have nothing Valentines-y to post today
So instead y’all have to stare at my wives and appreciate them
And better post them all together to mark the end of this weird little project. Idk why I challenged myself to redesign all 6 main Naruto girls in 1 week, but I did it.
Maybe because I wanted to test how I could exaggerate them, to explore a wider range of body types. And also for fashion. Can’t forget fashion.
I’m toying with the idea of drawing them as genin, to show how much a person can change in so little time, and the idea of drawing them as icky and awkward 12 year olds is fun to me. Even though, let’s be real, Temari was already a style icon at 13.
I’m unsure for now.
Happy Galetines day!

Inosaku> sasusaku
You may say I'm biased, but Sasuke tried to kill Sakura twice and called her annoying since they were kids. Ino grew up with Sakura and defended her from bullies, and keeps a healthy relationship with Sakura "B-but the chuunin exams! B-but they argue!" Yeah, but they talked it out after the chuunin exams, and other arguments were just harmless rivalries. Literally any ship with Sasuke is toxic.. Even the canon one.

Ino Yamanaka is the person who knows Sakura Haruno the most and to this day I think that if anything were to happen to Sakura, Ino should be the one who points it out immediately, not any other member of Team 7.
Ino was the person who knew Sakura the best before and during the Academy years. Sure, she changed during the genin years with Team 7, but Ino was able to get to know her again during the Chunning Exams. Ino was right there for the big Sakura moment when she cut her hair. And when Naruto and Sasuke left, Ino stayed with Sakura. Through her training years with Tsunade, Ino was there to see Sakura bloom time and time again.
So to me it's a disservice to Ino and Sakura that we didn't get more moments between them in Shippuden. Moments where Sakura felt lost and ran to Ino, moments that make it evident that the one person who has been always there for Sakura is Ino, not Naruto, not even Tsunade, but Ino.
Their rivalry and their friendship deserved better.

me banging on kishimotos door at 2am: why did you make sakura’s bangs as a child a symbol of her lack of self-confidence and then have ino help her overcome it BUT then give sakura bangs again during the war arc when she was reunited with sasuke and clearly made to be self-conscious and feel inferior in the face of him and naruto?? why did you literally put the symbol of discomfort back into her design around sasuke - her love interest - when it blatantly contrasts the safety and confidence she gains around ino who helps her overcome that obstacle??? which one sounds more romantic?? which one sound more healthy?? OPEN THE DOOR—

Hot takes Naruto edition
1) Sasuke and Sakura would have both made better main characters than Naruto
2) Itachi’s an awful brother
3) And a hypernationalist war criminal
4) Who became so because he was a traumatized child manipulated into a fascist government. He’s a tragedy, not some super badass self insert to wank about.
5) Kurenai gets way too much hate for dumb stuff and deserved better than to be Asuma’s baby machine
6) Konoha’s fascist and should have been treated as such
7) As should the Hidden Village system in general
8) Gaara was a boring character in Shippuden and afterwards
9) Ino’s amazing and deserved more screen time
10) Kakashi’s a bootlicker
11) Hinata was complacent in her family’s slavery and did nothing to change it
12) The fact that an actual swing got more screen time than Tenten is unforgivable
13) Karin shouldn’t have liked Sasuke
14) Naruto’s a nationalist, genocide complacent, manipulative asshole
15) He also sexually assaulted Sakura on multiple occasions
16) Tsunade should have stayed hating the Hokage
17) Orochimaru should have died
18) Sasuke shouldn’t have come back to Konoha
19) Sai’s an interesting character but a bad husband
20) The Will of Fire is propaganda
21) Sakura was put on team seven as canon fodder for Naruto and Sasuke and should have realized this at some point
22) Kakashi was a clan-biased, awful teacher
23) Kakashi needed a therapist, not a team of emotionally unstable preteens
24) Gai was the only good sensei even if he showed Lee favoritism
25) Sakura and Sasuke should have been under Kurenai and Kiba and Shino under Kakashi
26) All the Hokages suck
27) Shikamaru’s cool but needs to be slapped multiple times
28) He’s also not very smart and a hypocrite
29) Chouji should have died in the war instead of Neji
30) So should have Kiba and at least two of the senseis
31) Konoha is also autocratic, a military dictatorship, and an oligarchy, and every member of the Konoha 12 sans Sakura, Tenten, Lee, and Sasuke benefitted from this
32) Sakura should have learned genjutsu and/or sealing
33) Hinata is a bad shinobi and that’s okay. She should have put her skills to use in ways other than killing people if she hated it, like ending her clan’s goddamned slave regime.
34) Neji was right.
35) Gaara should have stayed dead
36) Temari deserves better than being Yoshino Nara 2.0
37) Naruto’s a very shallow person who can’t form genuine bonds with people
38) The Akatsuki weren’t right but they were better than doing nothing
39) If there had to be Team Seven - Sannin parallels they should have been Naruto/Jiraiya, Sakura/Orochimaru, Sasuke/Tsunade
40) Ino should have been Rookie of the Year
41) All the hidden villages are authoritarian, fascist military dictatorships
42) Mei should have abolished the Kage position in her village
43) Juugo should have killed Orochimaru
44) Him, Karin, and Suigetsu shouldn’t have continued working for their abuser into adulthood
45) Yamato deserved better, as did Anko, and they both deserved to see Orochimaru die
46) Tenten should have gone on the Sasuke Retrieval Mission
47) Shino deserved better
48) Konohamaru is a whiny little bitch and he’s boring
49) So is Naruto
50) Naruto is a tragedy and Konoha should totally fall in Boruto

Lemme Rant ‘bout Hinata Hyuuga In Boruto Real Quick
i will NEVER forgive kishimoto or whoever the fuck worked on Boruto for turning Hinata into a HOUSE WIFE in that show. I know i said i love traditional femininity in a female character in one of my last posts, but i also said that i only love it when it’s in a natural and believable context that flows naturally! her being a housewife would have been TOTALLY fine.....
IF HER WHOLE STORYLINE HADN’T BEEN HER TRYING TO BECOME STRONG TO PROVE TO HER FATHER SHE DESERVED HER TITLE AS CLAN HEIRESS AND TO STAND BESIDE NARUTO AS A STRONG KUNOICHI WHO COULD PROTECT HIM LIKE HE DID HER.
Bro, it literally looks like as SOON as she got to the point where her and Naruto finally had a relationship, they just made her stop giving a FUCK about being a good kunoichi!! she’s not even an active duty ninja anymore y’all, COME ON. AND THEY STILL ENDED UP GIVING THE TITLE OF HYUUGA HEIRESS TO HANABI??? ARE YOU SERIOUS??
i get it, she’s not technically a hyuuga anymore, but through that fact they definitely could have opened a storyline about the connections of clans and the calming of the whole pureblood ‘you can only belong to one clan’ mindsets clans like the hyuuga had!!! Her story is SO unsatisfying to me because of this now, i don’t care what you say. they did all of that god awful development, only to reduce her back to simply a love interest and mother when you KNOW, that if she wanted to she could be those things AND A BADASS KUNOICHI. JUST LOOK AT SAKURA DOING HER THING, AND INO HAVING LIKE 5 JOBS BRO.
even in boruto the women haven’t gotten better, the writers have just started disguising how much they don’t care about them by giving them small amounts of screen time, and letting Sakura have her own fights.
i hate it here.

The relationship Naruto and Sakura deserved was disaster bi best friends who tease each other about their ineptitude around their crush. Now that’s mlm/wlw solidarity and the closest we ever got was the road to ninja movie :(

The CRIMINALLY underrated Inooo
She was actually quite difficult to design for, mainly because so many things I tried didn’t FEEL like Ino. And there’s this fine line between looking like Ino, and looking like Lola Bunny.
I think the rule of thumb is: Exposed stomach and purple
I’m not really rewriting Naruto or anything, just coming up with new backstories and storylines for the girls. Say what you like about Naruto, good and bad, but I think we can all agree the girls were done dirty.
The series was fundamentally uninterested in them as people, just as endlessly loyal and supportive love interests. They deserve better than that.

Kishimoto claims to be shit at writing female is bull
Yes that's right. But before going further, I actually can't help but asking, does he honestly and genuinely know the right characteristics from the wrong ones? Especially when it comes to female characters?
Because honestly, if he's so bad at writing females and that he intentionally sets Sakura as one of 3 MCs...then why on Earth does he make her so much worse than Ino, and not even giving the audiences any good qualities about Sakura?
1. He made Sakura the one who cut friendship with Ino, over a guy. Like, I'm sorry, as audience am I supposed to see her as antagonist? But hey, protagonist with flaws...okay trying to be openminded here.
2. He made Ino the one who chased Sakura to mend the friendship, not Sakura, the one who cut it in the first place years ago. And here I thought it's Sakura who will do the whole "apology and learns from her mistakes" thing to redeem her character. Turns out nope, nada.
3. He made Sakura being unapologetic about what she did to Ino.
4. Still in the topic of Friendship with Ino, we are shown that Sarada acted rude to Ino when Ino (in her genuinely good-natured way as well as being thankfully ignorant to this PoS she called as bestfriend) just waved to Sasuke and Sakura. And Sakura is shown to awakwardly chuckle at it.
Forget the whole non sense pairing that SasuSaku is, this little fact alone makes her a shitty friend and honestly makes me wonder : is Kishimoto intentionally making Sakura, his 1 out of 3 MCs, canonically being this sad pathetic excuse of character who treats her bestfriend like shit? If so, then why on earth does he expect from us audience to like her?
And why does he make Ino the one having all these qualities and characteristics that usually & commonly owned by stereotypical, generic heroine in anime history?

So after posting my last sketch I got ~inspired~ to draw my fav Girl Gang.
The deserved so muc better tbh, Sakura deserved to be recognised as the strongest kunoichi in the Narutoverse, Ino deserved to be head of Konoha’s T&I department, making her dad proud, Hinata deserved to be Hyuuga clan head, abolishing slavery alongside Neji and Tenten deserved to become a badass on the field, practically indestructible with her weapons knowledge, or at the very least she deserved a surname ffs!!
Instead they all got turned into sad housewives, it really be like that huh Kishimoto.
And don’t even get me started on how he butchered my girl Temari, the only reason she’s not in this is because she’s a Sandy Boi and she deserved to remain in Suna, taking Shikamaru as her trophy husband as she crushed the political frontier, alas, Kishimoto doesn’t know wtf ‘femoids’ want or act like.
