#konoha 12

[gainahan]

when team gai does the good cop bad cop thing tenten is the bad cop. neither Lee or Neji is the good cop but neji plays the eerily calm voice of reason and/or lie detector. when they were genin he was bad cop and she was good cop. Lee is emotional support.

team 7 doesn’t do the good cop bad cop thing. Sakura does the good cop bad cop thing. all the other members of team 7 give sakura’s interrogation room a wide berth. Naruto tries to play good cop but he’s jusst as jumpy as the prisoner is. in my head Sasuke is a really awkward interrogator. they’d expect him to be good at it but he’s gotta stay nonchalant ig

when team 8 does it akamaru is the bad cop. all 3 members of team 8 are human lie detectors. all they have to do is ask a few yes or no questions and pretend to hold akamaru back. it also doesn’t hurt that 2/4 of them can be really fucking creepy if they so choose.

when team 10 does it ino is the good cop and she doesn’t need a bad cop. she’s been interrogating since she could speak. shikamaru gives her a list of questions to ask and rolls over for a nap.

This is what Kenshi sees when he goes visit his husband's AU.

Some good old redesigns to slowly get me back to drawing! - half of these are @dolce-tenebra-toscana 's designs, the other half are mine based off hers.

[tora-the-cat]

Sakura drinks like a fish, EXACTLY as bad as Tsunade when she lets herself, because her and Ino got competetive over THAT too as teenagers. Sasuke will only consume alcohol if it doesn't taste bad, BUT he likes bitter/sour things, so he'll lean towards beer. Naruto thinks cocktails are gay but likes sweet things, so it's usually Sojo for him...Shikamaru would just do a finger or two of whiskey and drink it slowly cause if he's not careful he either passes out or REALLY runs his damn mouth. Choji only drinks cocktails, of course, make him a daiquiri! Lee blacks out when he drinks, so I think he'd avoid doing it because he's wary of being an alcoholic- but when he does he goes just as hard as Ino and Sakura (to his dismay. he does NOT take the pride they do in it). Neji says that a relationship with alcohol is indicative of a weak mind and spirit, BUT really the trick is he'll only go out for a night on the town if Tenten or Lee is the one inviting/dragging him. He will order exactly one gin and tonic and nurse it all night, but he's having more fun then anyone thinks he is just by watching everyone. Tenten drinks a lot, but somehow never too much- she isn't competitive, just having fun. Also mainly drinks beer, but actually enjoys brandy more- she's just a little too snobby about it and a little too poor to indulge, most of the time. Neji buys her a REALLY nice top shelf bottle of brandy for her birthday one year, and everyone stares at him like he handed her a porno mag cause it's NOT what they expected from him lol. I don't think team 8 goes to the bar much anyway. they're more 'stay home and smoke' kinda buds. BUT Kiba actually likes wine quite a bit not in a snobby way like tenten, he doesn't need anything super fancy, he just likes how it tastes, like, with dinner sometimes. Hinata will ONLY drink at home cause she's too shy and self-conscious to let herself go like that in public, and it's for the best cause she's SUCH a lightweight (so is Sasuke, which is another bit of why THEY don't drink much either lol). If kiba gets a glass of wine at team dinner though, she will too. Not cause of peer pressure, she just doesn't want him to feel lonely. Shino just doesn't like alcohol. he thinks it tastes bad and has no reason to drink it. he doesn't get why this confuses people.

New adorable official Naruto art 😍

[oodearest]

Still in my Naruto brain rot era so here’s another AU I desperately need to see.

A podcast run by Naruto where his co-hosts are team 7 and other famous connections.

This is post war. It’s just them talking about their past and goofing off, but given how unhinged their lives were it’s just a series of crazy reveals

For example:

Yeah I kissed my girlfriend for the first time on the moon

Random stories of how Kakashi, their current Hokage, is lame. Sometimes he crashes those episodes too

A running joke about how many times Sasuke tried to kill them

The Konoha 12 talking about Gaara’s homocidal era and Lee joking that he gets an apology gift each year after Gaara almost ended his career

One episode where the Hyuuga cousins who look like they get along, let it slip that Neji tried to kill Hinata once. And Naruto regales everyone the tale of avenging Hinata’s honour during the Chuunin exams.

A whole episode dedicated to Sakura listing the stupid ways Sasuke and Naruto got injured.

Team 7, after popular request talking about what it’s like to train with the Sannin but it’s just them complaining about what a hot mess each one was. “Pervy Sage would leave me alone with the toads for weeks.” “Orochimaru was actually an alright teacher, when he wasn’t committing crimes against humanity.” “When Tsunade wasn’t on a bender, she’d train me by breaking my bones in a spar then making me heal them.”

An episode where Team 7 just for the chaos go an interview the main shop owners that used to bully Naruto

Naruto dropping casual lore like oh yeah I met my Dad the Fourth Hokage etc

Sasuke mentioning what he got up to with Team Taka and dropping lore on his fugitive days. “Yeah we were bounty hunter for a week to make money. Jyuugo’s good at knitting, we sold scarves in the market to make extra cash. Suigetsu grave robbed Zabuza’s sword. The Great Naruto bridge looks good tho.”

One episode they bring on everyone that was involved in the Sasuke retrieval mission and they recount it to an ashamed and guilty Sasuke. Shino mediates the episode and is sullen for not being included. He keeps muttering under his breath “If I was there you would’ve gotten him.”

Sakura brings Sai and Yamato on an episode and has them explain how traumatising their brief time with team 7 was.

The possibilities are endless and there’s so much lore between all the characters the amount of reveals they could drop!

more Konoha 12 headcanons bleaker

i’m gonna assume that last word is a typo???? unsure. BUT HAVE MORE HEADCANONS!!!!

team 7 and team gai are always together and team 10 and team 8 are always together. such is the consequence of your jounin senseis dating

tenten’s Eternal RivalTM is temari but she’s never actually admitted it out loud. shikamaru is so scared that tenten is going to steal his girlfriend through the power of youth and sweaty challenges

lee and sasuke are both insane about training and randomly challenge each other to taijutsu battles. as well as lee and naruto get along, him and sasuke have a similar intensity and focus level when it comes to training and lee prefers to train with sasuke when he can’t train with any of his team or with sakura

speaking of team 7 and taijutsu, sakura trains with team gai all of the time, especially with lee. their sparring has gotten so out of hand that tsunade had a special training ground made for them out in the mountains so they’d stop breaking the communal training grounds and pissing off all the chunin and jounin.

shikamaru and neji play shogi together all the time. neji has only beaten shikamaru a few times, always when he’s distracted thinking about something else

ino, shino, and tenten are the snoops/detectives and somehow know everything about everyone all the time

slugs aren’t bugs but shino still goes wild over sakura’s slug summon. deeply upset about naruto’s toad summons though

choji and lee have spicy curry eating contests all the time and are basically keeping the curry of life shop open with their patronage alone

kiba, naruto, and tenten are the agents of chaos of the group and their victim is somehow always neji

hinata hangs out a lot with team gai because of neji and is really close with lee and tenten. lee is one of the people who helps bring hinata out of her shell and become more confident in herself

shino insists on addressing all of team gai with ‘senpai’ until they finally get him to stop after they all get promoted in the second chunin exams.

lee cries whenever someone calls him senpai

the girls all hang out together regularly and have sleepovers at each others’ places all the time. the guys see the girls making plans to hang out and THEN decide they should plan something too

neji isnt allowed to play card games because everyone thinks he’ll use his byakugan to cheat. hinata is allowed to play but nobody ever notices that she keeps using her byakugan. kiba has lost so much money betting against her

sasuke nearly gets banned a few times for trying to use his sharingan but he gets clowned on for it because it’s so noticeable and he gives up after that

sakura loves using her strength to carry people around. she’ll just pick up her friends and start walking around, especially if she’s drunk

speaking of getting drunk, sakura tenten and choji have insane alcohol tolerances and because of that they’re usually the one paying for drinks when the k12 go out. sakura is the one to beat in drinking contests and the only one who has is tsunade

naruto driving headcanons

Naruto - definitely not licensed. debatable whether he actually knows which one is the brake pedal. as long as Sakura is alive he will not be allowed behind the wheel of a car. unknowable/10

Sasuke - also not technically licensed, but all things considered a pretty decent driver. probably started driving well before he was legally old enough to. 7.5/10

Sakura - road rage extraordinaire. swears up and down she goes the speed limit but in truth goes at minimum 10 over. “speed limit is a suggestion” more like speed limit is a challenge. at the very least she gets them where they need to go. 5.5/10

Sai - never learned to drive until he met team 7. between Naruto and Sakura’s influences, he won’t be getting licensed for at least the next 6 years. good luck/10

Shikamaru - truly cannot be arsed. if asked to drive he claims to not have a license, but he definitely does. another unknowable/10 but I like to think in a pinch he’d be pretty good at it.

Choji - reliable driver but has a tendency to be late. gets stressed out when he has more than a few passengers. 6/10

Ino - wants to be a passenger princess soo badly. unfortunately for her, she’s the best on her team. being good at driving is her curse. woefully, 10/10

Kiba - team 8’s designated driver, believe it or not. he is…not good at it, per se, but better than the rest of them. having two sets of eyes on the road tends to help. 6.5/10

Hinata - gets so stressed out she forgets how to brake. she’ll be white knuckling the wheel going 50 in a residential while her passengers pray for their lives in the backseat. -2/10 her dad’s insurance is through the roof

Shino - morally opposed to driving. he hasn’t confirmed why but the running theory is that a swarm of his bugs faceplanted into the windshield once and traumatized him. unknowable/10

Neji - doesn’t believe in right-of-way. refuses to use his mirrors. whole heartedly believes he is god’s gift to the interstate. by some miracle has never gotten into a crash, but if any of his passengers are sensible people he is banned from the wheel. 0/10

Tenten - makes Sakura’s road rage look like divinely inspired patience. honestly she’s not even mad she just enjoys it. has to be actively talked down from brake checking people. banned from the wheel 0/10

Lee - while technically a perfect driver (obeys every speed limit, never makes an illegal turn, maneuvers like butter), having him in the front seat is such an intolerable experience he’s also banned from the wheel. those unfortunate enough to have witnessed it don’t speak of their experience, but rumors involve something along the lines of a custom-made Gai inspirational quotes driving playlist. 0/10

Temari - grew up driving her brothers around. Absolutely hates it. when she’s in a car she’s got her feet up on the dashboard and always has the aux. if she were to drive again, 9.5/10

Gaara - an…extremely calm, level headed driver? side effect of RBF is that everyone is always waiting for him to snap and run someone over. he never has. probably listens to calming classical music or something while in traffic jams. 10000/10

Kankuro - I find it funny to believe he’s the actual passenger princess. unknowable/10

[whtybsshe]

It really astounds me how some of “If Konoha 12 would have *insert modern thing*/music, TV, etc etc”, Neji is depicted to be usually against them, and a super duper strict traditionalist which I don’t really know where that came from in the first place. Just because he likes meditation, and he appears to be stoic, doesn’t mean he didn’t almost have a mental breakdown and almost killed his sister during the Chuunins and afterwards revealed the entire clan slavery for the world to hear. In focus he has an entire conflict with destiny and clan rules that had held him down since birth. So if anything, Neji would embrace anything that can cut him off from the shackles, so to speak. It might seem like a very exaggerated example to give on a pretty trivial matter, but this just falls on people who have not interpreted a character well (Konoha 12 isn’t the pinnacle of writing but whatever we know about them) , and as a result, depict said characters in an unfit position.

I don’t want to direct this to anyone in particular, I just want to give my take as someone who is studying for a phd in Neji Hyūga🫶

“Falls first, falls harder” but with the Konoha 12 🙈

Falls first

Naruto, who gives away his love like the blazing sun: uncaring of the intensity, expecting nothing in return, and in perpetuity

Hinata falls hard and fast, and then she just sits with it and hopes.

Oh, Shino is falling from afar, long before he ever dares to make a move.

Ino knows she's going to fall in love before she does, but she still does it super fast. Then it's just a waiting game as to when the other person will finally catch up.

Love at First Sight, thy name is Rock Lee.

Tenten falls first only in comparison to her age mates, who are all unhinged, maladapted, and intense in ways she just isn't.

Falls harder

Sasuke, who will rail against the dying light up until the very moment he accepts his love for what it is. Upon acceptance, he'd merrily burn the world for said love.

Sakura would actually take some time, but feel so deeply when it comes to really loving someone.

Kiba might not shy away from puppy love, but it takes some time for him to truly love someone. Once he does, though, he's nuts, I tell you.

Shikamaru may cerebrally know that he's going to fall in love with someone. He could embrace this, even. But it's different when he finally, really feels it. Good god, he's intense about the object of his affection is all I'm saying.

Choji is a little guarded with his heart, but once he can trust someone with it, it's all theirs.

Neji is another one who rails against the dying light, but gets Really Intense once he embraces his destiny.

‹𝟹 :: ⭑⭒  🗨 !!  naruto characters and their social media habits

warnings: rushed and out-of-character

note: this is just something I decided to create on a whim, though I was inspired by a post on a clock app. i imagined how these characters might use social media, so here it is.

characters: konoha 12

𓋭  ۫   ☔️ ﹒ ❊  ͚

uzumaki naruto

this guy’s the reigning king of shitposting. he’s got a knack for calling out anything he deems “overrated,” and he doesn’t hold back. his feed is a never-ending stream of complaints about everything from minor inconveniences to full-blown disasters. you might see posts about how his ramen was too hot or things like pineapple on pizza. he’s the kind of troll who wouldn’t hesitate to pick a fight with kids on roblox, turning every argument into a battle that leaves them in tears and scrambling to save face (konohamaru). he would also be the type to start internet beefs over the most mundane things. if you’re ever scrolling through your feed and see a heated argument about why a certain trend is lame, chances are he is behind it.

haruno sakura

the feminist and activist extraordinaire! she’s the type of woman who not only supports human rights in every way possible but also cheers on the LGBTQ+ community with gusto—because, spoiler alert, she’s part of it. she’s someone who’s fully aware of the impact social media can have and is determined to use it to amplify her voice and make a real difference. i also think she has multiple social media accounts like a pro—there’s her private twitter account where she rants about how messed up the government is, her ao3 account where she writes fan fiction with a side of social commentary, and of course, her tumblr where she’s a curator of memes, political discourse, and everything in between. (me)

uchiha sasuke

god, bruh. this dude is basically a social media ghost—he hardly ever posts anything, but when he does, it’s like the internet has just won the lottery. he’s that guy who seems to do absolutely nothing yet somehow manages to grab everyone’s attention. he’s not really into posting on social media, but when he does, it’s always so aesthetically pleasing that you’d think he has a personal stylist and a professional photographer on speed dial. he doesn’t even try to make his posts look good; he just rolls out of bed and somehow manages to be effortlessly cool. man could post a picture of his breakfast and it would still get more likes than your entire feed.

nara shikamaru

this lazy ass (me) would probably end up being a streamer, posting about his win streaks and achievements in every game he plays. despite barely lifting a finger to do anything else, he’d be all over social media, bragging about every victory and high score. he’s the kind of guy who’d stream his gaming marathons from the comfort of his bed, racking up followers while casually lounging around in sweatpants. If there’s a leaderboard, you can bet he’s at the top, and he’s not shy about letting everyone know it.

yamanaka ino

girlie is the famous influencer! she’s always buzzing with posts about the latest fashion trends, beauty tips, and social events. like, you know, the kind of Instagram girlie who’s always flaunting her ootd and setting style standards. she’s practically a fashion icon with every outfit she wears. she’s also the type to post inspirational messages like “wear whatever makes you feel good” or “your body, your choice.” she’s incredibly popular across all her social media platforms and has a tiktok account—she’s all about those thirst traps and dance covers.

akimichi choji

my boi would definitely be the type to either watch mukbangs obsessively or become a mukbanger himself. he’d spend hours trying to replicate recipes he’s seen online, turning his kitchen into a culinary experiment zone. and you can bet he’d be posting all about it—sharing his attempts, successes, and occasional fails. his feed would be full of mouthwatering food shots and videos of him devouring his creations, proving that he’s just as passionate about cooking and eating as he is about sharing it with the world.

tenten

she’d regularly post about her daily life, giving followers an inside look at her studies or work. her feed would be filled with a lot of photos showcasing her favorite books, snapshots of her workout routines, and candid moments with her for lifers. she’s all about fitness, making her social media a hub for health tips and personal growth. you’d see her posting everything from meal prep ideas to gym selfies. she’d be the type to inspire others with her discipline and positivity.

rock lee

lee would be the type to flood his feed with gym and fitness content, sharing everything from his daily workout routines to personal fitness goals. his posts would be packed with enthusiasm and motivational messages, like “don’t judge a person because of their appearance” and other self-improvement quotes. despite his positive energy, not everyone’s a fan—especially naruto and kiba, who might be more inclined to roll their eyes and make a shitty rant about his optimism.

hyuga neji

this dude, much like sasuke, is totally indifferent to social media. he doesn’t bother with frequent posts but when he does, they’re thoughtful and deliberate. you might see him sharing reflections on life, articles he’s stumbled upon, or insightful news about everyday occurrences. he avoids jumping into pointless online drama or trends, yet somehow, he’s always clued in. that’s thanks to lee and tenten, who can’t stop talking about the latest gossip and social media happenings. despite his apparent disinterest, he picks up on all the chatter and remains surprisingly well-informed about the buzz. so, even though he’s a low-key user, he’s never completely out of the loop.

inuzuka kiba

his socials would be about random rants and memes. he’d post exaggerated complaints about the most trivial matters. his feed would be a fucking mess of humorous and offbeat content—think sarcastic comments, goofy polls, and plenty of memes featuring akamaru. he’d frequently stir up controversies, posting impulsively and diving headfirst into debates. his online presence would be a whirlwind of arguments, especially with naruto, where they often argue over who’s the dumbest between them.

hyuga hinata

she’s the type to be a crocheter, the kind you see on tiktok with an account just for her yarn creations. her feed would be packed with posts showcasing her latest crocheting projects—everything from cozy blankets and stylish scarves to adorable amigurumi (crocheted plush toys). she’d share detailed photos and videos of her work. her account would also feature tutorials and tips for fellow crocheters, helping them improve their skills. she might post about her extensive yarn collection, offer free patterns, and give followers a peek into her crafting process. whether she’s showing off her latest masterpiece or sharing a behind-the-scenes look at her studio, her feed would be a inspiring hub for all things crochet.

aburame shino

the random entomologist on your feed. he would be all about his shit for insects and the natural world. his posts would feature photos of various bugs, often accompanied by educational captions about their behavior, ecology, and characteristics. his feed would include updates from his fieldwork, observations on insect behavior, and informative posts about conservation efforts. while he might occasionally share glimpses of his other interests or hobbies, the focus would remain firmly on nature and entomology. whether he’s showcasing a rare beetle he’s spotted or sharing insights on preserving insect habitats, his content would be a treasure trove of knowledge for fellow nature enthusiasts.
