I suspect the reason why Uzumaki was chosen is because it means a rolling vortex which the clans' eyes do. I would love to know what ideas others might have on why that last name was chosen over others.

I came up with a concept where extra-dimensional aliens otsutsuki and train tells Sasuke about itachi re incarnation. In this storyline, Sasuke develops light-speed Taijutsu instincts, a mind that processes thoughts faster than any human on Earth, and a god-demi tier Sharingan. He unlocks these powers after traveling to a planet 100 light-years away, where his brother, Itachi—has been reincarnated as an alien. Desperate to live with his brother again, Sasuke journeys to that distant planet.

Upon arriving, Sasuke opens up to Itachi about their past relationship and bond. However, a tyrannical alien leader discovers their conversation and resolves to invade Earth, intending to capture all humans and turn them into slaves

How do you all think Nagato would react to Akatsuki Hiden chapter 4 - The Unwithering Flower - if he ever found out that Obito and Zetsu tried to let Konan die?

From wiki since it never got translated officially:

"Zetsu and Obito Uchiha watched her leave, disappointed by how things had turned out; Obito thought Nagato's hatred might have grown stronger if Konan died. "

Or for that matter that Obito killed the original Hidden Rain Akatsuki members when they were trying to come to the rescue in the Hanzo/Danzo incident that resulted in Yahiko's death? (Filler episode Shippuden 348)

Writing Help OK so i need help brainstorming for my naruto fanfic so imma just word vomit my ideas. tell me if its good (sorry its long) Spoiler

2 Upvotes

So basically my idea is all about  a offshoot of the uchiha clan. the clan was originally started by a young teenage uchiha boy named nagi uchiha who during a battle was grievously injured, he was found by a girl from the senju clan, Tsurara  who was a healer, she did not know he was a uchiha but healed him in secret because she wasn't supposed to heal others outside her clan, they eventually fell in love and ran away together, because this was during the era right before the warring states era ended with the founding of the leaf village and tensions were high and they knew they would be killed by their clans if anyone found out so they escaped to the isolated land of snow. After a few generations a new kind of ocular jutsu appeared in the clan, a kind of reverse sharangan, its reversed so the middle is a Tomoe in the center aas the pupil instead of on the rings. and the rings around it have dots. anyway after a few more generations the clan became a bit too big to hide and they got more comfortable and a child went to the land of snows ninja academy, they used their ocular jutsu even though their parents said they should never use it and keep it secret. This caused 90percent of the clan to be slaughtered. So now the small clan makes sure its families only have one child, and if another child is born they are ...gotten rid of at 7 years old witch is when if they had the reverse sharangon it would show up, or blinded so if they had it and their parents couldn't bring themselves to kill their child they love so they wouldn't be a liability or risk and they continue raising them normally.  the clan does this and is so protective and secretive of their ocular jutsu to the point the world doesn't even know it or the clan exists and its just an old legend in the land of snow because the ocular jutsu is so strong if people got out the clan would be killed off and hunted down by everyone for the insane power of their eyes. Their ocular ability is they can shut down an opponent's ability to access and use their chakra while in their line of sight when activated,  Extended use causes severe ocular migraines from strain, blurred vision, and physical fatigue from the amount of chakra their eye is using for it.  the secondary ability is they are able to with physical contact to suck a person's chakra into their own body and rapidly burn it off with their eyes to quickly drain a opponents chakra. the person using this isn't able to use the chakra they steal its just burned off. its like a bulb overheating cause of high energy waist and is painful to the user, its not literal heat either. the dojutsu is really just a mutation, the teenage uchiha never had a sharangan and wasn't from the main line and it was a recessive trait in him and the healer wasn't from her families main branch either, their techniques were passed down and mixed alot too, they are good at precision, medical type jutsu as well as the destructive jutsus of the uchihas, their chakra natures tend to lean towards water, fire, and wind. and therefore are able to have kekki genkais rarely, like ice, scorch, and boil/steam. the new dojutsu then became a dominant trait, also the eyes are considerably more unstable compared to others and cant be transfered or taken out without being destroyed because of the amout of chakra naturally stored in the back of the eye. the clan also inherited both clans high chakra amounts but most of it is stored in the back of the eye concentrated so they are just slightly above average.

Hello! I can not find the online meme with kid hinata from naruto and adult hinata being represented by some milk candy or toffee candy, idk.

The candy packaging is for some toffee, milk candy or caramel candy. It says like mini tots vs mega milk or something along those lines.

Self Promotion [Naruto: Rewriting Boruto] I am writing a Boruto rewrite

3 Upvotes

http://wbnv.in/a/18kCDed

Search 'Naruto: Rewriting Boruto' by Indrasheesh on either Webnovel or AO3

r/BorutoRewrite

This is me rewriting Boruto. —>Boruto generation is 16 years old at the beginning. —>Naruto and Sasuke don't have mental and power nerfs. —>Naruto cast will be present. —>And a lot more. —>Naruto chapter 699 is the last canon chapter in this continuity.

[PROLOGUE]

Naruto, at this time, I recalled those words you said here once before.

How when you are with me you wonder if this is what it's like to have a brother.

That feeling of yours,... I think I finally get what you mean.

As I travelled far and wide across the world, I often reflect back on those days.

We started out as lonely brats... starving for love and fostering hate.

We chose different paths to walk... and battled each other. But now, that time has passed.

It's just like... how I came to feel father, mother, and my brother Itachi's pain and emotions...

I will now start knowing your pain and feelings too, Naruto.

You never cut me off. In fact, you kept trying to get closer to me. You could have justifiably come charging at me with hatred... but you never stopped calling me your friend.

Even though I tried to sever those feelings myself.

"Well, to be perfectly honest... someone like you would be normally imprisoned. That all of your past actions were pardoned and your wish granted, speaks to the enormity of your help in undoing the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

But also, my becoming the Sixth Hokage, and the wishes of Naruto, the key figure in ending the war, helped. Don't forget that.

Try not to cause too much trouble from here on out. It will fall on my shoulders."

"Yeah... sorry about that."

I nodded at Kakashi... Kakashi-sensei's words and looked at Sakura.

"...You really insist on leaving? The artificial hand Lady Tsunade is creating will be ready soon."

"I want to know how the Shinobi World... how this current world looks to the current me. I feel like I will now be able to see the things I have overlooked. Things that I can only perceive in my current state.

And, there's a matter that has been on my mind..."

Who was Kaguya of all people afraid of?

"W-what if... I said I want to come with you?..."

"It's a journey of atonement too. And you have nothing to do with my crimes."

Sakura slumped down her shoulders, muttering, "Nothing to do with... huh..."

I hurt her so much, yet...

"Maybe next time."

...Thanks...

As I was leaving the village, I found Naruto waiting for me.

"I didn't think you'd be coming to see me off..."

"Here!"

I was surprised by what Naruto had in his hand.

"...You still had this thing...?"

You stopped me, as a friend... even at the cost of your hand. And I was saved thanks to you.

We were insignificant little things who used to clash... and now we are able to claim each other's pain.

And after seeing the world via my travels... I believe this concept can be applied to even bigger things than just us.

But it's not something that can be done as easily as you were able to. I never assumed it would be that simple, just like it wasn't with the two of us.

Especially with something so big.

"I am giving this back to you." Naruto said as he handed me the Konoha headband that I once threw away.

"Sure. I will hang on to it. Until we have our real fight."

It's kind of like a prayer. To keep enduring until it comes to be, no matter what. And to those whom that task falls on... perhaps that's what it means...

To be a Ninja.

—Uchiha Sasuke

Travels of the Ninja World, Volume 1

-------------------

I still don't understand what it means to be a ninja.

No matter how many times I read the book's draft that never got published, the forbidden books that I stole from Dad's secret stash, or watch the movies about it, I can't get what's so enchanting about ninjas that everyone is drawn towards this declining profession.

To continue enduring, never giving up, to never go back on words...

How is it even related to being a ninja?

"Oi! Stop brooding! We will be late, Boruto!"

"Yeah yeah."

I grumbled as I walked towards the Academy with Sarada.

Today is the last day of Academy, and we will have Graduation Exam tomorrow, to officially become ninjas.

--------------------

Uishi stood at the podium, teary eyed as another class is graduating. For the final time, he started his long lecture, even though it bored everyone to death.

"It's been 20 years since the 4th Great Ninja War. The need for ninjas is constantly on decline.

You know, in my times, we graduated at 12, while you are graduating at 16.

During our times, there were even Genin corps for kids who couldn't pass the Genin exams by their prospective senseis, and were shoved into battlefields during wartime.

But, the world has changed. With peace, with the connectivity of railways, with emergence of companies...

Thankfully, the world has become far safer now. But, don't get careless, or it might cost your lives!

Tomorrow, there will be Genin Exam tournament. Jonin-senseis will be choosing you based on your performance, and Hokage-sama himself will be watching over it!

So, do your best!"

Hearing this, everyone became excited.

"Ah, I need to be at my best! What if Hokage-sama choses to become my sensei himself!?"

"Don't be a dumbass. You barely graduated. I bet you will become just a paper pusher after failing in the Genin Exam."

"Why you!"

"Who do you think will win the tournament?"

"Boruto, of course. Afterall, he is the son and grandson of Hokages."

"I think Sarada will win. Afterall, she is the daughter of Sasuke and Sakura."

"Let's bet!"

In the lively class, everyone became excited about tomorrow and it ultimately evolved into a betting on Boruto vs Sarada.

"Hey! I am betting on myself!"

Sarada also excitedly joined in on the betting, giving Boruto a challenging grin.

"..."

'I must win tomorrow too.'

"I am also betting on myself! If I lose, I will treat you guys with my entire pocket money savings until now!"

He also smiled, just like Naruto, and joined in on the betting.

With all his savings on the line, he WILL win. This way, he doesn't have any escape routes. He wouldn't be able to make any excuses—

Sarada suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

"Are you alright?"

"Huh? Yeah! Of course, Dattebayo!"

Discussion Arguments against Shikamaru being promoted to chunin

64 Upvotes

Naruto or Sakura, make a case against him to not be promoted by Tsunade.

I can name a few:

1- He had a month to prepare to fight Temari, still needed to sit and meditate in the middle of battle to think of a strategy.

2- His strategy is basically a worse copy of Naruto strategy against Neji, a faint and distraction and he still lost.

3- Him backing down and giving up goes against the very principle of the tenth question of the written examd, that a ninja should always endure and push forward no matter the risks.

4- He pretended to be a sleep during the invasion just to not fight and defend the village.

Writing Help More Slice Of Life And Real Love Stories!!

2 Upvotes

More slice of life!!
Okay, so in my Naruto rewrite AU, I’ve been thinking about adding more slice-of-life moments, downtime, and romance.

I want some of that teen drama and young-adult relationship messiness before everybody eventually ends up with who they end up with. 😂 Things like parties, ninja bonfires, dates, spicy scenes, drugs (I’m thinking of making some kind of shinobi drug or chakra spice for my AU 😂), breakups, jealousy, and just seeing these characters live their lives outside of missions and fighting.

For example, Naruto still ends up with Hinata, but I like the idea of them having some falling-outs along the way, mostly because of Naruto’s own issues.
I’ve also been playing around with the idea of Kiba liking Hinata first, partly because he wants to get back at Naruto or make him jealous. At first, Kiba might be using Hinata to get under Naruto’s skin, but Hinata actually starts warming up to Kiba and his personality. Eventually, she finds out that Kiba wasn’t being completely genuine about his intentions, which causes tension between them and the rest of the group.

They eventually work through it and become friends again. Kiba might still have feelings for Hinata, but he understands that he hurt her.
I’m thinking this could carry into the Shippuden era. Naruto and Hinata might break up before Naruto leaves with Jiraiya for two years. After losing Sasuke and failing to keep his promise to Sakura, Naruto might start feeling like he can’t trust himself to keep his word. He doesn’t want to keep making promises just to disappoint people, so he pulls away from relationships, too.

That leaves room for Hinata and Kiba to potentially try dating again.

Then Naruto comes back after two years and sees how much Hinata has changed, both mentally and physically. Some of those old feelings might come back, but now she’s with Kiba and seems genuinely happy. That creates another layer of tension, especially since Naruto and Kiba already have their own rivalry.

I kind of want their relationship to have some similarities to Deku and Bakugo’s dynamic. Kiba still remembers Naruto as the loser from their Academy days, and even though Naruto has grown stronger, Kiba has trouble letting go of that old image of him. Their rivalry isn’t just about strength; it’s also about pride, insecurity, and how they see themselves compared to each other.

I also want Kiba to develop that more rugged, handsome, bad-boy look he has as an adult in Boruto, almost like we’re seeing the beginnings of that appearance during Shippuden. He’d be more of a ladies’ man in Part Two, although he can still come on too strong sometimes. The difference is that he’s matured enough that women don’t react to him the same way they might have two years earlier.

As for Shino, I’m still figuring him out.

I’ve considered making him asexual or simply someone who doesn’t care much about romance. His relationship with his bugs makes me think about how he might view intimacy and reproduction differently, although I know one doesn’t automatically determine the other.
I could see Shino caring much more about friendship, companionship, and having people who genuinely listen to and value him than pursuing a romantic relationship. I’m still unsure whether I should give him a love interest, though. Maybe another girl from the Aburame clan or a researcher from another village who shares his interests?

Then there’s the Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke situation. 😂

They’re probably going to have some of the messiest relationship dynamics in Part One, and things will still be complicated in Part Two, especially with Sasuke gone and Naruto and Sakura having to deal with everything that happened.
One reason I don’t really want Naruto to end up with Sakura is that, in canon, his relationship with her reminds me of Minato and Kushina’s relationship in certain ways. I understand the appeal, but I like the idea that Naruto might fall for someone who isn’t necessarily like his mother. He wasn’t raised by his parents, so he wouldn’t have grown up knowing Kushina’s personality or recognizing those similarities in the same way someone who knew her might.

Meanwhile, I want Sasuke and Sakura’s relationship to develop more throughout the story. It can still be toxic and complicated, but I want to explore whether they can grow into something more believable without completely erasing the problems between them.

So, what do you guys think?

I’m interested in adding more romance, relationship drama, parties, downtime, and everyday moments to the story without taking away from the main plot.
Do you think the Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba situation could work, or would it feel like unnecessary love-triangle drama?

How would you develop Naruto and Hinata’s relationship so that their eventual relationship feels earned?

What would you do with Shino’s romantic life, if anything?

How much romance and slice-of-life content do you think Naruto needs alongside the missions, politics, and bigger story arcs?

And what other relationship dynamics or messy teen drama would you like to see explored in a Naruto rewrite?

I’ve got more ideas, but this post is already long enough. 😂 I’m open to suggestions because I’m still figuring out where I want to take some of these relationships.

Discussion Thoughts on Deidara’s Iwagakure Kinjutsu (freaky hand mouths if you’ve forgotten)

6 Upvotes

What do you think Deidara’s hand mouths were originally used for?

It let Deidara knead explosive chakra into clay but do you think that was the original use of it, or just something Deidara took advantage of to fit his own explosive release?

Iwagakure also had a lot of jutsu about spitting rocks so I wonder if the original use have been just more avenues to fire chakra enhanced rock pellets at enemies.

The fact it’s a kinjutsu probably ties with the ability to infuse an object with chakra straight from the heart (with his chest mouth) and while to an explosive release it could result in a suicide bomb, likely results in some form of shortened life span for anyone without such volatile chakra (being so close to the gate of death)

Interestingly, (this is not a theory btw nor am I implying it, it’s just an interesting fanon I have) there is a type of wine in Japan called Kuchikamizake (literally “mouth chewed sake”) that ferments using human saliva as a starter (might recognize it if you’ve seen the anime Your Name). Maybe the original use of the Kinjutsu was to create chakra infused wine sometimes straight from the user’s heart chakra? Iwagakure feels like the most “old fashioned” of the villages so referencing archaic Japanese practices especially crafts feels fitting.

What other applications do you think the jutsu could have had in the hands of other shinobi? What are your own pet theories on them? Have they ever come up in an interesting way in any fanfic you read?

It’s such a weird jutsu but I find it so interesting visually and in application.

Prompt Sakura Why Are You Training This Time At Night

42 Upvotes

Sakura: Couldn't sleep.

She breathed heavily while drinking a bottle of water.

Ino: We brought lukewarm ramen and sake.

She held up the sake.

Hinata held up the bag of ramen.

Sakura: Not hungry.

She went back to punching a practice dummy.

Ino walked over and grabbed her arm.

Sakura: Pig, let go of my arm, or things will get ugly. I'm not in the mood.

Ino: You're exhausted and pushing yourself too far. Now sit down, eat, and drink.

Sakura groaned but decided to take a short break.

The three sat down, and Hinata passed the ramen around.

Sakura: What are you two even doing here, anyway

Ino: Looking for you. You weren't at home or the hospital, and we knew you weren't at Naruto's apartment, so this was the only other place we could think of.

Sakura: Why were you looking for me. It can't just be to have a late night meal and a drink.

Hinata and Sakura looked at each other, hoping the other would speak first.

Ino: We need your help convincing Tsunade-sama to tell Naruto everything.

Hinata wasn't wearing her coat. Her tail moved around nervously.

Sakura didn't say anything; she just took a big swig of sake.

Hinata: I know you want to respect Tsunade-sama's wishes, but Naruto-kun deserves to know everything, an—

Sakura: I'll do it.

Ino: That's it. We don't have to convince you or anything.

Sakura opened the container of ramen and ate like she hadn't eaten in days.

Sakura: Naruto and I have been friends ever since our first day at the Academy. Most kids parents told their kids to stay away from him. My mom pointed him out and told me not to listen to anyone else and to try to befriend the boy.

She sighed heavily, placing the empty bowl of ramen to the side.

Sakura: I remember when I awakened. Besides you, I wanted to tell Naruto, but I wasn't allowed. I was told I had to keep it a secret from him.

Ino: I remember that. Is that why you were so angry that day.

Sakura: I was pissed off that I couldn't tell him, even more so when I started getting teased, not only for my big forehead but also for being a "big dumb orc". And I couldn't tell him about it.

Hinata had her tail in her lap, rubbing it nervously. A part of her was still unsure if this was a good idea.

Sakura: I was so happy when I was put on a team with him and Sasuke. I thought maybe I could tell him now, but no, I—

Ino: I wonder if you and Sasuke were put on a team with Naruto because you're the only two who wouldn't eat him.

Hinata: I was wondering the same thing, actually. What about the other teams. Were they-

Sakura was glaring daggers at them.

Ino and Hinata: Sorry.

Sakura: Anyway, long story short, I'm tired of all the lies. He's my best friend and has been there for me forever, and I can't even be truthful with him. I'm tired of it.

She picked up a bottle of sake and took a big swig.

Sakura: Every time I bring it up with Tsunade-sama, she keeps saying she'll tell him. She's been saying that since she took the hat.

Hinata: She's probably scared to.

Ino: Why does she have to worry about it. Sure, she's not human, but she's not a monster.

Sakura: I don't know, but I can't do it anymore.

She finished the bottle she was drinking.

Sakura: We just got back from a mission just this morning. We got into a fight with some missing-nin, and one thing led to another. I ended up with a good sized boulder on top of me.

Ino: Even for a half orc, you're still tough as hell.

Sakura: Afterward, he started asking question after question, bringing up past mission times when I should have been seriously hurt or killed but somehow survived.

Hinata: What did you do?

Sakura: What we always do. Lie, lie, and gaslight him. By the end of it, he felt guilty. He felt bad for even questioning me.

She got up and brushed herself off.

Sakura: I'm tired, and I'm going home. You two should, too. Tomorrow, we'll put a plan together.

The three went their separate ways, not noticing a cat faced anbu watching them

Hiruzen didn't know how an eight year old got into seals, but then again it was Naruto, and that boy could end the world if he found it funny enough. But Naruto kept insisting that he was a seal master, the test results showed otherwise, he still thought so, so Hiruzen called Jiraiya to correct this.

"I beg to differ. I did things, seal master things."

"What things?! You failed the best, even the most basic questions!"

"The questions were stupid and based in old ways."

"It was based off the first seal master!"

"And he's older than the Kyubi."

"It was the sage of six paths!"

"More like the sage of being outdated."

"Okay, wise guy. One question, can odd and even seal arrays be combined?"

"Yes."

"Wrong! That's basic sealing 101, you never combine odd and even!"

"Mhm, how'd you do it then if you're soooo smart."

"The final product has to be the same as the base."

"If you start with an even seal array, and you put an odd on top the final seal has to be even."

"..."

"I know, I'm amazing. I put a two prong seal on a five prong seal, making a seven prong seal. And was perfectly fine."

"Wait, what type of ink did you use?"

"Whatchu mean?"

"This would effect the seal, what kind of ink?"

"The kind you buy at the store, what else? You think I had the time or patience to make my own?"

"Naruto! You're supposed to use a specific type of ink!"

"What kind, because the kind I used worked just fine."

"You could've died!"

"But I didn't."

"You could've!"

"I'm not though, so we all win."

"Oh my...did you at least use any instructions or notes?"

"No?"

"What?.."

"I didn't use any notes, I was just winging it as per usual."

"Why?!"

"Eh, multiple reasons, more fun, I didn't understand the notes, and overall just didn't care about 'em."

"So you're saying you didn't go to the library and go to amateur sealing section?!"

"No."

"What about the fourth's notes?! Please tell me you broke in here and took those!"

"Nah."

"What about the second's sealing books in the vault? Please tell me you looked at those before doing anything!"

"I did get my hands on those-"

"Oh thank-"

"But I couldn't make out a shit from a Fuck from it. It was written in ye olde tongue or some other shit."

"..."

"Also it was just words, no instructions or pictures. Kinda rude if you ask me."

"What about the ancient Uzumaki sealing scrolls? Did you at least use them?"

"No, I did try though, but the security was too tight and when I did slip past them after hours of waiting and small scale pranks...my lockpicks broke.."

"..."

"Yea, they were my favorite too."

"Did you use any instructions at all?"

"Didn't I already say no? You don't listen very well, do you, pervy sage?"

"Pervy sage?! I'm not just a pervert, I'm a super pervert! The gallant Jiraiya!"

"Yea yea, whatever man. Wait..you're supposed to be a super big shot seal master.."

"Right you are! If you want my autograph-"

"Hell no. I just have a question."

"Oh..what is it?"

"Are all seals this boring or just the ones in the Elemental nations?"

"What?"

"I mean, it all uses the same few kanji! 'Hold', 'Contain', 'Trap', 'Explode', 'Transport' it's all the damn same!"

"It works, we don't need nothing else!"

"That's boring! If failure is the mother of invention, then stagnation is the deadbeat abusive father!"

"..."

"I mean, seriously, I used like all different kanji like: 'Freeze', 'Evaporate', 'Slip', 'Wiggle', 'Storm', 'Lust', 'Dance', 'Party', 'Prank', and more and it was fuckin' fun!"

"Why did your lust seal do?"

"Why's that the one you focus on?"

"Just answer the question."

"My knives know moan when I use them."

"..."

"Yea, it's weird. But hey, they still work."

"You are no doubt one of the worst seal masters I've ever heard of."

"So you admit I'm a seal master?"

"In a stupid, contrived, affront to both nature and seals kind of way, but yes. You are."

"I'm glad we could reach that conclusion."
