#village when said village never even apologized to him. i mean except iruka. and i want it to be a show where the ninja way is retired

[opens-up-4-nobody]

Boruto things that made me lose my mind (ep 1-24):

Baddie: the time of ninjas is over (Good! Fuck the ninjas)

Why are the children more intelligent than the adults on this show?

Naruto's sullen face on the cliff is fucked up. Make him smile over the village, dammit.

The clan kids all being in one class feels like nepotism bullshit and shino being their teacher despite being a terrible teacher also feels like nepotism bullshit

I don't like how people talk to and about naruto, he's more an idea than a person and that makes me extremely sad

God, hinata didn't really have a personality before but now it's 100% "Naruto's wife". Sad.

You can tell things have changed in konoha bc they didn't immediately jump at the chance to send a child to ninja prison forever

Making naruto miss his hokage ceremony feels really fucked up somehow. Like it's to show his maturity in not caring but why don't the writers ever let naruto have nice things?

Sarada is a parentifed child and I still cannot fathom that she exists

HEY INO??? WHAT THE FUCK??? Sakura has a day off so u take her to stare at the ocean where she and sasuke had their 1st "date"??? That lasted less than 3min???? And that sasuke 100000% does not remember??? HELLO????

Sarada must have been extremely sheltered bc the konoha citizens I know would love the chance to talk abt sasuke the war criminal as they punch his child in the face or something

Sakura: I'm sorry for raising my voice, sarada (hey can u also apologize for that insanely physically violent outburst u had in reaction to an extremely justified question from ur daughter????)

Sarada: why do I feel so at ease when I'm with lord 7th? (Because he's treating u like a child?)

Sarada @ sasuke: don't u care that mom was captured?! (Good christ, don't ask questions u don't wanna kno the answer to)

WHO ASSIGNED TENZO TO WATCH OROCHIMARU???!!! THE BASTARD WHO STOLE HIS CHILDHOOD???!!!

Naruto pls don't bring kids around orochimaru!

WHY THE FUCK IS OROCHIMARU STILL ALLOWED TO CARRY OUT EXPERIMENTS????

Did... did sasuke and sakura get married but never kiss? Has naruto canonically kissed sasuke more than sakura???

[gayninjas]

(1/2) Okay so I'm still new to Naruto so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Also, this is long. I'm sorry. I'll split it.😅

Out of the K12 kids, Naruto, Sasuke and Neji were fucked over by Konoha (either by their clans, the old man hokage or the villagers). I'd include Rock Lee but I think he was just bullied as a small kid for being... weird? or not having chakra?? And he worked super hard and that didn't last long.

Anyway, I've read plenty of reviews about how the series ended poorly and how messages like "you can change your fate" were disregarded. That the the Naruto franchise would've done better staying an actiony, ninja shonen that focused more on changing the shinobi system instead of turning into the forced romantic shojo that it became. I agree with all of that.

And I said that to say this, I really am disgusted with how things went for Naruto, Sasuke and Neji. Naruto doesn't receive any apologies from those who should give him one (like the villagers! I think the old hokage bastard died so.. no apology there I guess). Like, I know Iruka apologizes to him and I don't know why. I know Iruka was Naruto's first bond, what'd he and only him have to apologize for.

Not only that but Naruto just accepts everyone and then hides the fact that those in charge of Konoha planned the Uchiha massacre!!! (Does Sasuke know he's doing that?) It's ridiculous to just hide the genocide committed by the state (because he's patriotic? Wants to stick to the status quo as much as possible while trying to change things??). And it's somehow worse to hide it when you have this intensely close relationship with the lone survivor of that genocide.

Like, why write Naruto like that? To receive no actual closure (imo) on how he grew up in Konoha and tp make him a top tier bootlicker

included the second part of the ask

(2/2) With Sasuke, that genocide happened and he was just left to his own devices on the outskirts. And he's treated as a villian for justifiably wanting to "destroy" Konoha and wanting a revolution. It gets under my skin how much the K12 kids don't give a fuck about stuff like this. (I like all of them (except for 2) and stuff like this sours my opinion on them)

Not only is he treated as a villain, it appears that no one pay's for the Uchiha massacre (except for Itachi?) which is bullshit. It's just swept under the rug. And THEN Sasuke is written to become another Konoha bootlicker??! He has to go off on his own to atone for his sins? What!

And finally Neji. He died as he knew he would, for the main house family. I will hate that forever and always. His destiny didn't change. Little!Neji in the chunin exams exposing how fucked up the Hyuuga clan is, no one (except Naruto?) cares. He gave Hinata a chance to back out before he killed her, which was allowed, she didn't, he was about to end it and then 4 teachers(?) jump in to save her because, special treatment. Can't let the (former) Hyuuga heir die, she means more than the other kids.

And he was treated as an antagonist for being rightfully pissed off. But no, he just gets over it I guess after befriending Naruto, the Hyuuga clan continues with its slavery bullshit and he dies sacrificing himself for Hinata. What a way to go.

And I know they don't address the slavery Neji wanted to abolish in Boruto. They just ignore it and act like everything's fine and dandy. Naruto isn't one of those series where things just happen offscreen and we know it's cool, right? They can't just expect ppl to think the Hyuuga clan changed right? They don't even focus on them, Neji died and so did any relevance to the Hyuugas because Hinata doesn't do anything.

(Had Neji lived I know he also would've been turned into a major bootlicker too)

In conclusion I can't stand how these 3 boys were screwed over by the village in many ways and then screwed over by bad writing. It's irritating. I love Naruto but there's so many problems with it.

i tried to be concise, hope i covered everything!

I agree that if the Naruto franchise didn’t end off with lackluster romance plots and instead gave closure for all the things they left open ended after the end of the war it would have made a much better ending to the series.

Kishimoto had even admitted he had trouble writing romance in as he hadn’t ever planned on it. He never considered it that relevant so when they did include it, the whole thing felt so forced and awkward it was even kinda ooc for Naruto and Sasuke (scenes like narutos flat ‘im not in touch with my emotions’ reaction to hinatas confession that butchered his character were an absolute pain to sit through)

Nejis death being an awful plot devise to develop NH was a terrible move, like neji sacrificed himself for someone who moments later held narutos hand and went "his hands are warm"??

Don’t even wanna list anything I dislike about ss cause their marriage is so lifeless i feel dead thinking about it.

As for the villagers, they were happy to alienate a poor kid who couldn’t fend for himself and let him believe he was a demon and was deserving of it all but then started licking his boots when they realized they had the equivalent of a nuclear weapon desperate to protect them, and even then they weren’t remorseful of their actions, its all very sickening really,

I think the whole end of Naruto was handled in a way that went against the characters values? like I can easily imagine Naruto being rightfully enraged at the people who issued the massacre of hundreds of innocents, and he wouldn’t ever think of hiding anything like that, especially from the victim who was also his friend??.

How they wrote sasuke as someone who now fucking bows down and becomes a soldier for a village that destroyed him and has done nothing for him is just absolute bs. Although with sasuke, even if one argues his loyalty was for Naruto, the patriotic lines are just too much.

As for the rest, I don’t have much to say cause they never tried to understand why sasuke was doing what he did, they only saw a power hungry uchiha who was seeking revenge.

And yes nejis end was tragic for all the wrong reasons, i was more pissed than sad watching it. He was treated as a tool for nh and his anger at the hyuga clan and their issues was brushed off without much thought because the series never delved into it or resolved it.

And yes we got no real closure for the uchiha massacre, all the messed up things in the hyuga clan and the way Naruto was mistreated his whole life etc. Its aggravating how they expect us to believe its all fixed and fine now

I really do love the pre shippuden arcs like the zabuza and haku arc especially though. They were the peak naruto experience for me and are always the scenes I reminisce and often get nostalgic over.

[conflictedmess95]

My take over what I think about NaruHina. (This will be long as I've been a passionate supporter of NaruHina since elementary and have gotten back into the show recently, so apologies in advance.)

I used to think the comment in The Last about Naruto not telling the difference between love for ramen and love for another was pretty dumb and meant so little. It rubbed me the wrong way. But then I watched the movie in a more forgiving light and remembered that ramen is practically the center of Naruto's universe. He would've married a cup of ramen if he had no love interests. Naruto eats it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; he's a frequent customer at Ichiraku because of his obsession. It's almost obvious Naruto attaches friendly and familial bonds to ramen because Teuchi fed him since he was practically a toddler. Ramen is Naruto's first connection to (and subconcious awareness of) love in his life.

For Naruto to equate his strong feelings towards someone to his love for ramen can make sense; it has less to do with him being dense and more to do with how he views strong feelings towards someone. Not once does Naruto come out and say he outright loves Iruka or Teuchi and Ayame or anybody he has deep feelings for who has taken care of him. But it's very obvious he does love them all. Even though I did think the "one-upping Sasuke" thing was odd, the ramen thing does symbolize his "love" for Sakura was superficial. (Personally, I always thought NaruSaku was played for laughs and never taken seriously by Kishimoto, but that's my opinion 🤷🏽‍♀️)

Sakura, in canon but in the novel, said Naruto and Hinata hung out together constantly after the war. Naruto's feelings probably started right after the war, but we never get to see that. Saying Naruto had no development with Hinata simply because we don't see the two years they spent together is like saying Naruto didn't train with Jiraiya in those 2 ½ years away from the village. And maybe saying Naruto's confession came from nowhere (no matter how much this confession leaves a bad taste in my mouth) is like saying Naruto's new jutsus after coming back to the Leaf came out of nowhere. Maybe there was supposed to be development before the events of the movie.

Back to my original point about the ramen, Naruto was around Hinata constantly after the war. He thought Hinata thought of him as a friend but her feelings were more genuine and he subconsciously picks up on that, driving him closer to her (after the war). He himself couldn't answer her confession (because it would've been too soon in the first place so they gave him two whole freaking years to confess) and couldn't realize what he felt for her during these two years. Instead, he equated his feelings to ramen which he has such an obsession over. Was he equating Hinata's feelings to ramen? I don't think so. With Naruto's heavy insecurities (I mean, they show up all throughout the show and make sense with how he grew up), he probably thought Hinata really did only love him as a friend should.

But regardless of how Hinata actually felt, he still got closer to her. Naruto, over the years, learned what it meant to be loved by friends and people he saw as family. Slowly but surely he understood what it meant to love his friends because they loved him back (almost all of them loved him as no more than a friend). Naruto gravitated to Hinata, despite thinking her love was platonic (as almost all the relationships he had), because her love was somehow "different" to him. All he knew was that he "obsessed" over her in the way he obsessed over ramen; he continued to see her after the war. More so than he did before the war. The movie focused more on the end result rather than the necessary buildup over the two years where he most likely developed his romantic feelings for Hinata. This part of their relationship is left to the imagination.

Let me move to the original series leading up to the movie to further explain where I'm getting at:

Should we question why Hinata never did anything and needed to confess again like her confession before meant nothing to Naruto? Yes, we should. Because it leads us to the answer that Naruto couldn't interpret someone having actual feelings for him (whether people hate that answer or not). It's one thing to see Sakura pour her heart over Sasuke, and another thing to see a good friend genuinely confess to him. Wanting to die to protect Naruto? Isn't that enough to prove love? Neji also sacrificed himself. Many people in the village sacrificed themselves during the Pein invasion and during the war; Hinata sacrificing herself for him made him think her confession was platonic. No one had ever said those words to him before and that threw him into a rage when Pein seemingly killed her. I don't think this was romantic, per se, but it showed he cared deeply for someone many anti-NaruHina people consider to be just a side character (as IF Shino or Tenten would spark this rage; people only say this because they think Hinata had absolutely no impact on Naruto). I mean, Naruto came to the battlefield finding out Kakashi was dead and didn't fly into a rage about it. Out of all the possible characters, Kishimoto chose Hinata to make Naruto go off the rails. Sakura had a better chance against Pein, but Kishimoto had her stay put, perhaps for medical reasons — but she could've left that to Katsuyu to go help a friend that she was secretly in love with (according to NaruSaku fans).

This began as a much clearer sign that NaruHina was coming to fruition even if much of it was ignored afterwards (and disappointed a lot of NaruHina fans). Why? Because literally only 32 chapters later when Sakura confesses, he blushes for a little but immediately became furious with her confession. Hinata, he accepted as a genuine confession of love (even if he thought it was platonic) but Sakura, he completely discounted. Saying he hates people who lie to themselves. And it was then that his crush on Sakura was barely noticeable for the rest of the series. His interest in Hinata started growing during the war as they mutually respected and backed each other; both of them giving each other the support they needed, though both of them have been doing this since early in the series. His inferiority complex would show up around Sakura and almost all other characters (except for Iruka), but he never put on a show in front of Hinata.

People have brought up a moment when Minato, upon seeing Naruto and Sakura, thought Sakura was Naruto's girlfriend. Naruto playfully acts as if it's true, and people make it seem as though the crush was still real. Later on, when his father is leaving, he brings up all the stuff his mother would've wanted him to do and that he did. One of the last things Naruto brings up is that his mother wanted him to find someone like her to marry. That someone like her would've been someone like Sakura. And Naruto dismisses it, saying that he couldn't do everything his mother asked him to do. It was a clear sign he didn't care for Sakura despite the war happening in much less than a week. But he didn't say anything about finding love either, so it's left open that he either didn't have feelings for Hinata or was unaware of them (because obviously he ain't, given the movie). Naruto was just aware Sakura wasn't the one.

After all of this, Naruto's relationship with Hinata before the start of the movie but after the war is where they had Naruto attach himself to Hinata as his emotional crutch. From what I remember, Hinata gave Naruto more emotional support than Sakura. Hinata would've been there if she knew about Jiraiya's death when Naruto was depressed, shy or not; Sakura knew but it was Iruka and Shikamaru (both of whom were unaware at first) who helped to snap him out of his depression.

Also let me add: I'm tired of people calling Hinata a stalker; she's rarely around Naruto and only had "stalker" moments in the academy where she was understandably always around her crush (they're in the same class and on the same school grounds, she'd bump into him and hide on multiple occasions). After the academy, this habit obviously stopped. And it's clear she gives Naruto his own space as she continues to train (which is evident in that she's much stronger from Part 1 to Part 2; as well as from the Invasion to the Ninja War; and from the Ninja War to the events of the movie). All we see is her interest in Naruto but what we don't see is her growing confidence and strength. And by that, I mean it ain't shown to us in front of our eyes. Her development is 80% off screen. So people dismissing her as nothing more than a stalker is ridiculous.

Anyhoo, that's the end of my understanding of Naruto and Hinata's relationship. I'm wondering how much I left out though lol. But I've written too much 😅

[lapusas]

in a way, you’re rather pleased with your current situation, the shadow presence of the threat of kara notwithstanding.     ever the optimist, eh ??     you can’t help it though, not really, not in this case, as with many other cases.

you have acquired a nasty habit of talking any chance you get about the entire village being the hokage’s family, yet, as boruto never failed to point out, you hardly got the chance to spend time with your immediate family.     or rather, you hardly allowed yourself the chance, the martyr syndrome well & kicking as you shift from sacrificing bodily safety to sacrificing mental well - being.     & physical well - being  ;     for all your oversleeping in mornings, you actually sleep very little, & most of your wakefulness is either energy drink induced or stress induced.     artificial & naturally manufactured, somewhere between the two.

but in keeping an eye on kawaki, & in the days since your watch over him began, you’ve shifted the priorities of your shadow clone allotment   ( you vaguely remember telling boruto once that you wouldn’t dare place a shadow clone in the hokage’s office.     hah.     well.    ) .     with remaining by the boy’s side, you’ve ended up spending more time around hinata & the kids than you have since you became hokage   ---   which, great, dream achieved, but gods did you miss spending time with your family.     actual family, not symbolical hokage family, much as you care for the village.

you’ve gotten to be the one to greet hinata home for once, you’ve gotten to dole out near spoiling amounts of attention to himawari   ( who’s been absolutely beaming about this fact ) , at least when kawaki’s been docile enough to not need to worry about a bickering fit erupting behind your back with boruto, boruto who, despite his grumbling you are inclined to agree with your daughter, has very much enjoyed your recently consistent presence at the dining table ...

& then there’s kawaki...

so ...

he’s recently started calling you   “ dad ” .

you felt a a wave of mental apologies being sent iruka - sensei’s way at your response the first few times, quiet &   “ do not make a big deal out of this i will even say please ”   as they were, the parallel to your former teacher’s response to you doing the same when you were around kawaki’s age crashing its way into your stinging eyes with the force of a bijuu bomb.     needless to say, you’ve since formed a silent solidarity with iruka - sensei over picking up responsibility for a lonely, bearing - power - he - didn’t - ask - for, & love - starved child & your continued expressions of trust & concern for his well - being resulting in the very tearful realization that you’ve ended up mutually adopting each other as family when said child calls you   “ dad ” .

except, you usually have stuck to calling iruka - sensei   “ iruka - sensei ” , even when he’s insisted that he’s long since stopped being your teacher   ( not that that particularly matters, not to you who still calls yamato - taichou   “ yamato - taichou ”   & will likely never stop calling ero - sennin   “ ero - sennin ”   even in serious conversation ) .

kawaki has all but entirely stopped calling you variations of   “ lord seventh ” , at least around the house, that you’ve noticed.     what that means to you, &, more importantly, what that means for kawaki ...     there’s something about that.     it makes your chest sting a little but also warm, & you realize you’ve been smiling stupidly into your half empty bowl for the past five minutes of dinner when hinata prods at your hand with a chopstick & repeats your name for probably at least the third time.     she asks if you’re okay & you nod & say yeah, sure, of course like you always do, except this time around it actually sounds somewhat convincing.

another second & you decide that you are, in fact, going to make your marshmallow heart everyone else’s problem.

boruto starts excusing himself from the table, finished eating, but you halt him halfway across the room with a hold up, getting up & stopping somewhere in the middle of boruto & the table.     hinata has, no doubt, already recognized the expression on your face ‘cause she is looking at you with that soft, good - willed smile that makes you feel even more sentimentally sappy & you end up putting more of a slightly childish demand in your tone than you’d intended as you spread your arms out & announce  :        ❛     that’s it, dad’s feelin’ mushy, that means it’s family bearhug time  ;     get in here.     ❜

himawari grins open - mouthed & is only all too eager to get in there, after wolfing   ( foxing ??     ... kurama isn’t amused )   down the rest of her food, of course, so you give her a specially tight separate hug before hinata joins in & your arms are officially opened for everyone.     boruto hangs back feigning annoyance & you hardly need to tell him to get on over, kiddo for him to get on over.

you then look to the table & notice kawaki has yet to move much from his seat.     you smile, warm as the late spring sun, & tell him with a slight humor to your tone & nod of your head,      ❛     family bearhugs are good for the heart.     now, c’mere.    ❜

he seems to hesitate a little, but eventually shuffles over into the empty space waiting for him to complete the little group, & the moment he’s in place your arms tighten around everyone & you thank whatever heavens deigned you worthy of two growth spurts because your relative size allows you to near completely wind around your family & they fit perfectly in your hold.

himawari’s buried her face in your stomach, small but ferocious hands gripping at you with the same strength of your initial individual hug.     hinata’s got one arm on himawari & the other on the boys, head resting against the crook of your neck & you can’t help pressing your cheek against the top of her head when you tighten the hold of your hug.     boruto’s in much the same position as himawari, holding onto you about as tightly, no doubt hiding his face against you in silent giddy embarrassment   ( you can practically feel him grinning through the layers of fabric ) .

kawaki   ...   doesn’t seem sure of what to do other than stand there & take the hug, but you kind of get that.     hugs tend to be jarring at first when you’ve been deprived of such contact for too long.     you kind of really get that.     the hand closest to him reaches up & ruffles at the boy’s hair before just   ...   resting there against the back of his head, not unlike the first time you hugged him.     it feels right.

you stand still like that for a few more seconds before winding your arms tight as they can around everyone again in one final affectionate smother, & you know you’ve squeezed the living daylights outta them when hima & boruto start laughing their variants of   “ daaaaad ”   with a slight wheeze.     you laugh in return & loosen your grip & boruto uses the chance to slip out entirely, still half laughing, saying something about suffocating if he stays in there any longer.

❛     welp, i was gonna end it off there with a ludicrously sappy   “ i love you all ” , but you went & spoiled that moment.     ❜     you can’t help smiling even as you try to say it with a straight face & end up laughing as boruto retreats with a grin announcing he’s going to bed.          ❛     sleep tight !!    ❜

the hug has more or less dispersed with that, though himawari’s still loyally clinging to you, & you remove the hands still on hinata & kawaki to pry off the little cub only to pick her up & let her sit in your arms long enough to lightly touch at her nose with a      ❛     you should be heading to bed, too, hima,     ❜     before handing her over to hinata with a kiss to her forehead.

you stand in the middle of the room, watching the two of them disappear off upstairs, waving a nighty - night to a now sleepy - looking himawari with a soft smile.

& then you’re left alone, along with kawaki, & all you can do is sigh in earnest contentment,     ❛     family’s great.     ❜          the everything of it sounds corny & hardly necessary, even to you, but you only say it because it’s true.     & you know that something similar, at least in sentiment, is going through kawaki’s mind.     & you know how sometimes it helps reaffirm the positive if someone else says the same thing you’re thinking out loud.

you throw another soft smile kawaki’s way.     then you proceed to return to the table & scarf down the leftovers in your bowl, resuming the usual evening motions, as though a family bearhug hadn’t interrupted the whole thing.

Dear whoever cares chapter three

Shikamaru's pov

   My hands shook as I grasped the note reading the first few paragraphs or so that was addressed to everyone. How had he lived through all of this without any of us noticing what a strain it was putting on the blond? How had he kept up the smiles how had he been so selfless that he hid his pain to not bother us? Why hadn't he come to me? Goddammit, why Naruto I could've helped this whole thing could've been avoided...you should be beside me while I'm complaining about how troublesome a mission is. But you're not and to be honest, I'm not so sure anyone would have noticed anything was wrong if you hadn't of done this. That's right your just so good at that...that stupid facade and because of it no one really saw you. We saw a projected piece of yourself that you wanted us all to see and it worked.

Dear whoever cares,

I'm fine

has always been my cry of 'help me' because I'm not fine nor have I ever been fine.

I'm fine has always been someone help me please,

I'm fine has always been I'm hurting but I won't tell you because I rather not ruin your evening,

I'm fine has always been save me from myself, from the villagers, from my resolve, ...from everything

   I see it now ''I'm fine'' had always been your way of asking for help because you were too scared to ask for help. So many bad experiences do that to a person you were afraid to trust so you hid how you were really feeling. And somehow despite yourself, you were still hoping someone would hold you and tell you they knew you weren't really fine. But that person never came and you lost hope of ever finding them and yet now that I'm reading your outlook on yourself and everyone, in general, I can't help but wish I could've been that person for you. I wasn't but I will if you just wake up for me.

But no one ever knew that, did they? Course not because I'm nothing but the damned Kyuubi to everyone.

Face it, I know that's right I know that I wasn't important to any of you but what did I expect? My existence, my entire being was nothing but a mistake and I'm so sorry for those of you have suffered from me, after all, I am nothing but a monster. And I know hell everyone knows that I'm just a disposable piece of trash that would've been thrown away after you all were done with me.

You're right we may not have known but you're wrong no one see's you as the Kyuubi except the idiotic villagers to blinded by their own hate to see the kind hearted boy right in front of them. You're so important to us I can't even imagine a life without you because there is none you are my world. Your not a mistake and you never made anyone suffer but I'm telling you this right now people are suffering and will continue to do so if you don't wake up. The only monsters are the villagers who treat you like this not you, never you. Priceless is what you are meant to be prized and never disposed of.

The next line made me blanch.

Monsters aren't meant to live after all am I right? Well here let me do you a favor let me just stop-.....-just stop living because it will be better this way everyone will be happy.

When will you see yourself the way we do the way I do? It's obvious you don't like yourself but there's enough of my love for you to share. And you will love yourself the way everyone else does.

I was despised absolutely hated by even the kindest of people until I defeated Pein.

...I hadn't known that.

In fact, I remember on my 14th birthday I...god this is hard to write...

It's hard for me to read.

anyways ..I had to go out and buy some groceries because if I didn't do it then the only women who even allowed me to step foot much less buy food in a store wouldn't be working much longer.

...They went that far to show their distaste for such a small boy who had only been 14 at the time!? It's not his fault! He-...he didn't ask to have such a burden to hold on his shoulders. He didn't ask to be parentless he didn't ask to be lonely he didn't ask to be hated just for being alive. He didn't ask for any of it!

So against my better judgment, I walked out of my barricaded apartment meant to protect me from the villager's wrath.

You shouldn't have had to protect yourself from the very village you protect.

I tried to stay out of sight, stayed hidden in dark alleyways and made sure I wasn't attracting any unwanted attention. Just as the grocery store finally came into view I thought I actually thought that I would be able to get necessities without getting a beating. 

They beat you?! I let a growl out surprising everyone else in the room who were waiting to read the note as well. I knew it had been bad but to beat a child made me sick. What an idiot I was right because at that moment I heard someone that hated me and knew I was screwed.

''Oi Dobe?!''  I had turned on my heel looking at a smug looking Sasuke.  ...Let's just say things hadn't ended in the least bit pleasant as I had ticked him off and ended up with a bruised cheek. I glared at Sasuke who remained silent although he looked slightly confused.Nothing new though Sasuke hated me. Once he stalked off I realized the women was no longer working and I would have to go without food for the next week.  

 Is that why you're so skinny is because your deprived of food? I know how skinny you are Naruto and I know how much you've tried to hide it behind that oversized orange jumpsuit. But I've seen how utterly frail you are your wrist is so small and your cheekbones are so prominent they practically jut out. I-I had never thought...never wanted to think that you were being starved so I guess it slipped my mind.

That in mind I continued the way back to my apartment but halfway there I was stopped by a drunken villager. Said by just being alive I had ruined his whole life I tried apologizing but what exactly should I have said when It was clearly my fault?

Don't apologize that villager had no right I wish I could give them a piece of my mind.

Yeah, he wasn't taking it and that's when the beating started. A bottle had been crashed upon my head, kicks, punches, insults, and at one point he had drawn out a knife and plunged it into my chest. I let it happen though because I deserved it and apparently someone else thought so too,

Isn't that right Sakura you watched the whole time did you enjoy it? Did you enjoy watching as pain was inflicted upon me? Sure looked like it.

   Sakura had just watched? She just watched...as he was beaten to a bloody pulp! It all made sense now why she hadn't visited. She doesn't deserve to have a friend like Naruto anyways and she would pay I'm sure everyone else would gladly oblige to the idea.

'' Well I found out why Sakura isn't here and It's quite disturbing she deserves to pay.''I gritted out waiting for a response surprising Ino was the first to speak up.

'' Hey! Whatever she did it can't be that ba-..''I cut her angrily.

'' It was his birthday! His bloody birthday all he wanted was some food but some idiotic deranged villager beat him to a bloody pulp and where was Sakura in all of this you may ask. Oh right she was standing right there just watching, enjoying Naruto's pain so don't you dare tell me that useless pink banshee doesn't deserve what's coming her way!'' I yelled out angrily as everyone's eyes widened before angry expressions set on their faces.

'  ' Your right.'' Kiba agreed as everyone else nodded before I went back to the note as I read the last two sentences I decided to skip down to the part addressed to me deciding it would be rude of me to invade on anyone else's considering they were personally for them.

Shikamaru-

It's funny as I'm writing this you're blowing up my phone with texts and calls. Makes me think you might actually care...I'm getting off topic here. I might as well tell you this I just wish I could've done so sooner but I love you I don't know when this feeling surfaced or how. Go ahead and laugh or mock me I can't really find it in myself to care especially since I'll be dead by the time you read this. When we were just kids...before Iruka got over his hate towards me you were always there.

You didn't let others opinions or hate affect your view of me. You're just so different from everyone else and it always shocked me the fact that you let yourself associate with a demon like me despite all the risks shocked me. You risked your father's approval he didn't want you' to interact with me in the slightest. Yet you did, you went against everyone's preconceived notions and showed me that I wasn't just a withholder of a demon. You got to know me for me and I can't tell you how thankful I am for that. Do you remember when we were younger I had felt the need to put myself in danger just to get people to 'like me.' I was told that if I brought something back from the forest then I would be accepted. I'd have friends it occurred to me that they were just using me but I was desperate I didn't care. So I went in the forest and I recklessly put my life on the line doing so, but I hadn't thought that my absence would be noticed. Iruka told me while he was cleaning up my injuries that you had told him of my whereabouts. You must've been eavesdropping on the conversation not that I really mind. Something really stuck with me though It was something Iruka had said something along the lines of you being extremely worried and blowing up on the kids. I knew but never had the courage to ask why I mean where you just nice to me because it was too tiring to treat me otherwise, or did you truly care? Well...I don't have much else to say but I need to do this quick the tears won't stop and I know if I don't do this now I'll back out.

So...I love you Shikamaru, goodbye as you would say 'sorry for being so troublesome.'

I love you all dearly and I'm so glad you were a part of my life I may not be missed but I will miss you all. Sorry, it had to be this way I just couldn't take it anymore.

Goodbye sincerely,

Naruto Uzumaki.

  N-Naruto loves me? I had always thought my feelings were one-sided. Oh if I had only told him sooner maybe he wouldn't have felt so unloved. He wouldn't have done this if he knew someone truly loved him.  I'm so stupid! I could've saved him, I could've stopped him, I should've been there in time.  And if he never woke up or if he dies the last thing he'll remember is me texting him about how troublesome he is. If he doesn't make it he will never know that I love him. If he doesn't make it he will have gone through his life truly believing no one needed him, that he was replaceable, a burden, and worthless. I can't let that happen but I need you to wake up Naruto if not for yourself then for me, for your friends, because we're your family just as you are ours.

And without you, life just isn't worth living.

Filler - Bikōchū search mission and Kaguya's story (My hype was real)

  What is your…

·         OTP (explain why) - NaruHina. Why? Because when I watched the show for the first time, I saw how Naruto was ignored and hated for no reason, and Hinata was there, cheering up in silence... in that moment I said... THEY MUST BE TOGETHER FOREVER. And they are :D (I love you, Kishimoto)

·         NoTP (without being a dick, explain why) - NaruSaku, because Sakura reminds me of Kushina, and I see them as brothers. Their love is like brother and sister, and I love them.

·         Crackship/s - KibaIno. I don't know why, but I think they look really cute together and I love it :3

·         BroTP - As I said before, NaruSaku, but also, NaruSasu (I ship them as a romantic couple too), KibaHina and ItaShisui (Itachi and Shisui :3)

·         OT3 - Sand sibblings, they are everything :3

·         Crossover ship - Hmmmm, I never think about it, I don't know :/

 M I S C E L L A N E O U S

·         Do you have any headcanons? When Naruto sleeps, he hugs Hinata as he hugs his pillow :3 Hmmm... when someone bothers Himawari, Boruto takes revenge >:) EHMMM I don't know D':

·         Are you happy with the ending? Hmmm, yes and no. Yes because NaruHina is fuckin' cannon and that makes me really happy :D But no, because the story have a lot of characters We have not seen all their development, the girls, they become housewives, and I think that is really retrograde :(

·         How do you feel about the Next Generation? I’m really excited, I want to see more of my little sunflower, and I'm hoping that this new story give me a lot of BoruHima, I need them D:

·         Say something about your favorite character. I'll say it about Naruto. He is really amazing, a hard worker, and he looks dumb, but he is smart and I love him, and I'm so proud of him... :') (I know, he is fictional, but I don't care)

·         What would a child between your OTP look like? They are perfect as they are :D 

·         Say something genuinely nice about your NoTP.: Naruto is really sweet with Sakura. He would be a nice boyfriend :)

·         Say something negative about your OTP. Naruto, you blind idiot... SERIOUSLY!? And Hinata... please, girl CONFESS CLEARLY! 

·         Is there anyway you could be convinced to ship your NoTP? What would make you change your mind about the pairing? I've seen many fanarts and read many stories about them. I liked it, but I think I could not ship them.

·         What makes you mad about the series? Jiraiya and Neji's death... I mean... REALLY!? IT WAS THAT NECESSARY!? 

·         If you could see anything happen in the series, what would it be? A talk between Minato and Kushina talkin' about their meeting with his lovely son.

·         What would you say to Kishimoto if given the chance? Thank you for creating an anime that actually changed my life. It helped me through inexplicably dark times and helped me discover who I was. (I'm not changin' the answer, but I have to say... THANK YOU FOR THE NARUHINA :3)

 In your opinion…

·         Most attractive male? Sasuke is really handsome, but I think that Kakashi wins this batle.

·         Most attractive female? Ino. She is really beautiful (especially, in the Last *^*)

·         Most overestimated? I don’t know...

·         Not appreciated enough? Sakura! I mean, please... really? She is really strong!

·         What is the greatest thing about Naruto? I’d marry him if he were real (well... I don't know if I'd marry him or adopte him and hug him until the end of the days)

·         The worst? I can't meet them ;(

·         The saddest moment? Deaths. I mean, Neji and Jiraiya deaths are insurmountable... and Naruto reading Jiraiya's book :(

·         The most defining? - It has a lot... the first chapter, when he makes the jutsu of the forbidden scroll, when he fights with Sasuke, when Iruka recognizes him, when we discovered the truth about Itachi, when we knew that the Fourth Hokage was Naruto's father, when he forgives Nagato, when Kurama accepts him... and his wedding is gonna be... really really unforgettable (MY BABYYYYYYY T___T)

·         GO! - Okay I think I’m going to rant about Iruka sensei (like you didn’t all see this coming). OKAY. Iruka fucking Umino is my god. HE WAS THERE FOR NARUTO FIRST (with the exception of Hinata and Shikamaru of course) but he was the first adult to treat Naruto like he was an actual human being. He stood up for Naruto, TOOK A SHURIKEN TO THE BACK FOR HIM, cried for him, was hard on him, pushed him, and TRULY BELIEVED IN HIS DREAM TO BE HOKAGE! In Road to Ninja when he made Naruto a cake to apologize for being so hard on him I LOST MY SHIT. I watched that part 800 times, Naruto’s smile was the most brightest and beautiful AND IRUKA’S “WELCOME HOME” WAS SO PRECIOUS!! He was there to share Naruto’s pain when Jiraiya died and was still there for him when he refused to sit on the sidelines during the war even though he was terrified of losing Naruto. He supported his marriage with Hinata and was SO FUCKING PROUD when he became Hokage. He made Naruto the man he is today and I think he would’ve turned into someone full of hate like Sasuke if it weren’t for Iruka. If I don’t stop now I’m going to go on for another 10 minutes at least. So, in conclusion, Iruka Umino is underrated as fuck and I think he deserves so much love it’s ridiculous. PS. This whole post has been a rant for me, I’m sorry, please enjoy!) by @obiistobi (leaving this here because TRUE!!!!!!) (Me too! AMEN!)

·         Why the actual fuck did  Utaka have to die and leave Hotaru????? (That's right!!!!!)

·         Why doesn’t Kakashi have a wife yet????????????/// (Because he is waitin' for me)

·         Actually I can’ type anymore or else it’ll never end. (This is fuckin' long OMG!)
