#rock lee's springtime of youth

[mossphorescent]

Happy Birthday Kakuzu 🥳🥳🥳

To celebrate please enjoy this edit of a pic from the Rock Lee spinoff made to look like he is actually wearing a bikini

Original ↓

Tenten from Naruto as Tenten from Hello Dracula/幽幻道士 !!

The left pic is taken from naruto sd episode 43!! I always thought her outfit looked familiar but i could never pinpoint it until now LDMFSKAN

It seems like a reference to 幽幻道士, which is a Taiwanese horror/comedy film from the 80s!! It's pretty obscure in the west (i dont even think it has English subs) but it's something i watched growing up!! The movie is also pretty popular in japan, so i don't think its crazy to assume this was a direct reference. Both of the characters have the same name too, テンテン (Tenten) in japanese and 天天/恬恬 (Tiantian) in chinese!!

Here are a few more pics of 恬恬 !!

Like wow thats the exact same outfit lol

Team Gai = Team 3

In Naruto SD, the Naruto spinoff that focused on Rock Lee and Team Gai

There was an episode that referred to Team Gai as team 3

Plus they refer to them multiple times as team 3, even in a Naruto Shippuden filler episode

So even though it was treated as if they were just the third team for that episode,

My headcanon and I saw that this was more widespread than I thought is that Team Gai was Team 3 similar to Team Kakashi was Team 7, Team Asuma Team 10, and Team Kurenai Team 8

Doesn't really mean much but in a lot of fanfics and other past headcanons they're usually team 9 since it was the one team missing from the sequence of 7, 8, 10

From a world-building perspective, it can also explain some nonessential questions

There were about 27 kids in Naruto’s graduating class

Which for genin squads of 3 makes 9 teams

And we know there was a 33% pass rate so of the 9 teams 3 were the likelihood of passing

Hence Teams 7, 8, & 10

But since they used team 10 for nine teams that means either there are teams still in circulation so they couldn't use that number

Or it was just skipped over as they weren't an important team

But when we meet Team Gai they're not called Team 3 but they are Team Gai similar to Kakashi now calling his team Kakashi when they could have been called team 7

So I guess the numbered team's are just for the rookie year team so when they get passed that rookie year they can be an official team as Team Gai is a year older than Naruto and co so they are an official team and their leader is Gai

That or Jonin (or chunin) captains are always the title name of that team so that even if Naruto was working with team 3 it'll still be called team Gai as it's Gai’s team not just the combination of Lee Tenten and Neji

But then there's Team Kakashi with Yamato as captain but that's because Kalashi was unavailable

So I guess my theory is that Team 3 was Team Gai they're first year then after a year they became officially team gai so team 3 was opened up again

But since we know only teams 7, and 8 & 10 passed the next year team 3 is still untaken so it's still ok to use Team 3 for Team Gai as there isn't another team 3 in circulation

Which I guess carries on into Shippudden as we don't know much about the following genin outside of Konohomaru’s which is called Team Konohamaru

But its a 1/7 chance they would have been called team 3 of the remaining seven of ten numbers

Let alone when you open it up more like in Boruto there's a Team 40

There's also a theory there's a connection with the numbered team like the two interactions of teams 7 & 10 (naruto and boruto era) highly mirror each other but haven't seen a team 8 as maybe there's not a team we've seen that fills that sensory tracking team they were in boruto

I'm rambling :P

It’s the short condescending laugh for me.

The way SD all but confirms Kabuto and Orochimaru are basically a couple and Neji is down bad for Hinata... This show is wild

[hirazuki]

For @skaelds, inspired by her fic and Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth Naruto spinoff, which is such a bizarre, specific intersections of interests that probably only we share XD Based on this super cute Orochi and Kabuto fanart here!

i’ve been watching naruto since i was 9 years old and started with rock lee springtime of youth and immediately felt inlove with neji, then in high school i started watching naruto seriously and i’ve become so angsty over the fact that neji died and again stopped watching it at 14

now im 17 back watching it and i promised myself i won’t get mad over the silliest things and stupid fans opinions. i’ll just enjoy watching my beloved kids aka team guy and read romantic fanfics about my other two beloved babies aka nejiten and listen to naruto’s songs like a 2000s otaku teen

Hi!

First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing the everymadara manga screenshots. I always look forward to seeing your posts every time I open tumblr :))))

Will you be including (chibi) Madara featured in the spin-off comics "Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth" by Kenji Taira?

I understand if you won't. If we're going by manga-by-kishimoto canon, then this one is definitely disqualified.

Just wanna know.

That's all! Thanks for doing the Lord's work ehehehe. I see your tags every now and then about the lil gymnastics that you do for an optimum screenshot (and non-super pixelated version lol) of Mads so this is me throwing additional heap of thanks for taking the time to do so ❤️

Sending much love and have a good day!!! :DDD

Hi! And thank you for the compliments, they're appreciated :D I honestly didn't intend to add content outside of manga content, but maybe once I finish posting all the panels, I'll consider it!

when you think about it the big upturn of my life when i stopped being really depressed and started thinking positively coincided with me getting back into naruto and once again becoming obsessed with rock lee and gai. i used to get depressed and think to myself it’s ok because this is the springtime of my youth and i would feel better… autism is incredible
