When the golden heart stopped beating in your arms...

one of my all time favourite moments in the entire naruto manga is gai’s face when he hears taijutsu is the only thing that will work on madara

that is the face of a man who is going to fuck someone up

Soothing Sentence Starters

“It’s okay. I’m right here.” “Just take a deep breath.” “You can hold my hand if you need to.” “Everything’s all right.” “I’m not going to let anything happen to you.” “Shhhh. You’re fine.” “Do you want me to stay with you?” “Let’s count to ten together, okay?” “Concentrate on my heartbeat. Don’t listen to anything else.” “I’ve got you. You’re going to be fine.” “Look at me. Just look at me and nowhere else.” “I won’t leave you behind.” “I’ll stay as long as you need me to.”

on the chunin exams: neji vs naruto battle

- I said it once, I’ll say it again: NEJI IS A TIGHTLY WOUND BOTTLE OF ANGER. Concertina wire built like a boy. His movements are fluid and flowing, but I wouldn’t call them graceful - it’s more like liquid steel or the grim gleam of ninja wire. But for all of his distant facade Neji is actually easy to upset, and he lashes out surprisingly wildly. His hurt has stewed and fermented into an animal violence disguised as ruthless skill. A ruthlessness he doesn’t adequately take responsibility for, at this point in his life.

- NARUTO + NEJI DYNAMIC HAS SO MUCH FIC AND ART POTENTIAL, PEOPLE. Two boys with life-defining seals. Who are, in some way, looked down upon by the people who should love them. Boys thick with anger and grief. Who have dedicated themselves to their anger, and the goals stemming from that anger. The headstrong, act-first-get-permission-later, trickster, unstoppable force, sunshine boy with no family or legacy who won’t let anyone define his fate, and the determined, no-nonsense, simmering, stubbornly unmovable boy so deep in his own dark he forgot the light. If Naruto is the sun and Sasuke is the moon, then Neji is the fucking eclipse. Both will burn your eyes if you look too long.

- Naruto’s Kage Bunshin are special. Not only do they possess complete chakra systems and solidity, but they have their own personalities, and each clone acts as if it is alive. Other people’s shadow clones follow orders without question; Naruto’s don’t. They feel fear, at times they try to prioritize their safety over his, they express desire, etc.

- The Chunin Exam arc can be summed up as “Genius versus Guts” in that it asks us to closely compare Lee, Hinata, and Naruto against Gaara, Neji, and Neji/Sasuke. We have the respective “deadlasts” and “top of the class” facing off… All seven are dealing with anger and hurt in very different ways….I’ll make another post about this later maybe

- As a Branch member Neji lives with rules and regulations and threat looming (literally) over his head every waking moment. After fighting Naruto, Neji catches himself rebeling in small ways: busting a seam on an otherwise perfect formal Hyuga robe and wearing it to mandatory gatherings. Bowing a fraction lower to Main members. Walking around the compound without his headband on with his Caged Bird Seal out. A purple hair tie. The feathers of a sparrow that beat died beating itself against a shop window. A tiny, tiny dandelion in a tiny clay pot on his windowsill, bright and jarring and yellow against the neutral tones of his room. Tiny infractions that slowly chip away at the cage he’s built around himself.

- Kage Bunshin is a jonin level technique. / Naruto with tight chakra control would be frightening

- Of the Konoha kids, Neji is one of, if not /the/ most, dangerous. Yes, he has unparalleled taijutsu skills and a solid defense, but those don’t matter as much as Neji’s willingness to seriously injure his fellow shinobi. He’s not blood thirsty the way Gaara is, but Neji refuses to pull his punches. We see throughout this battle that Neji is the king of overkill; between stopping your chakra flow and stopping your heart, he’s going to pick the most finite one. He targets Hinata and Naruto’s hearts immediately to trigger organ failure. I think this stems from his difficult, almost desperate desire to believe in all of the determinist bullshit he spouts at naruto, when he’s fighting his blows are punctuation points at the end of truisms Neji himself is desperate to believe. He beats down every underdog and upstart type because he’s projecting his own desire to rebel onto them and trying to subject them/himself.

- Neji is the master of projecting onto other people.

- Neji doesn’t smile, only smirks. If you made him laugh or smile his face would probably hurt for the rest of the day.

Neji Hyuga from Naruto deserved better!
