I'm losing my mind. Everyone is blaming sakura for naruto being all fucked up for sasuke, including sakura.
Insane.
Everyone is looking at naruto like: why is he like this? He must be in love... with sakura
I'm gonna tear my hair out.
Naruto ninjas: who is responsible for this? Must be women

ships huh? hmmmmm. I mean I suppose I can put forth SaiIno at least, that seems easy. and I will also suggest any Hinata ship of your choice cuz I don't actually know if you like any. and then also, LeeSaku, IF you feel up to it.
SaiIno:
He called her beautiful right upon seeing her, now you would say "oh he was just saying that to not anger her", but I say, he could have said" nice" or friendly" or "you look good." but NO, he said beautiful because he meant it
Ino actually was interested in sai right away, she didn't think his beaviour was weird, she didn't think his skin was weird, she just accepted and liked him. hell yea
Of course, we have her saving him from her own mind and then he asked her out because likeeeeeee yeah? I would ask her out too good for sai
I love love love the scen in the Sakura novel when he opens the door to Ino and is only in a towel and doesnt understand why she is embarrassed by that. God i love them.
They are the best parents in their respective age group. They deeply love and support inojin which is so cute and they love each other. I cant believe we got a scene with Sai lying in Ino's lap like we are so blessed.
Sai deserves love. Ino deserves support post war. They can deal with it together, be there for each other. Sai can learn a lot about expression from her, Ino can help him on his way to becoming more like the self he wants to be, not the one he was told to be.
Ok I know i had better reasons for the last reply but UH it just came out of me they are so cute.
I would do LeeHIna since I love it so much but you asked for LeeSaku so for now (also I ship every age appropriate hinata ship as long as she is happy im happy)
NaruHina
I just adore the dynamic of sunshine and shy person. Like, she is so drawn back and quiet, but he just speaks up for her instead and is sort of like "look my wife" because he doesn't mind? peak
He saw her when nobody saw her. A thing that always hurts me with hinata is that she'S so overlooked, even by her own family, but naruto never did that, not a single moment.
She see's him too. Long before others and the village itself. She admires his kindness from their first meeting
I would call it childhood friends to lovers but more like, childhood crush to oh my god I cant believe the shy girl gets the main character???
I will die mad that in the Boruto arc in which Naruto gets kidnapped we didnt get to see Hinata fight and defend him and almost die?????We only hear about it?!?! Becuase??!?! either way, that!
Hinata deserves to be happy, she deserves someone to lift her up and tell her how great she is, how worth she is how loved she is
Naruto deserves someone who fully loves him and knows him well and supports him always, even if that can get complicated.
LeeSaku
Lee is a fucking badass that can punch your face in
Sakure is a fucking badass that can punch your face in even harder
No seriously, they'd be a powercouple, and a pair you'd not like to meet in the dark if you are a bad guy
Apart from that, lee is a good guy, he is an absolutely down to his heart good person. After all the shit Sakura went through, she deserves a good and kind hearted guy
He also defended her several times and yes he did ask her out and profess his love, but he never like called her feelings for Sasuke into question? Thats very considerate of him, because his first priority is her
Sakura needed healing and love after being almost murdered by the guy she harboured so many feelings for and Lee would absolutely provide that. And not in a "oh this girl is very vunerable right now gotta take advantage" but in a "this is the girl i love and the girl i cherish and I will take care of her"
They'd be.. super cute tbh asdfklas
Kind of like Naruhina in the childhood crush to Oh my god yes it worked out yes
Lee would be an insane Sakura fanboy, Sakura would tell lee how beautiful and wonderful he is every day she wouldnt doubt himself anymore
phew, long reply

Can I please ask for a part 2 headcanons on Naruto's mum dating Kakashi, like imagine how bad Naruto will be when they start going out on dates, and god help Kakashi if Naruto catches him doing anything remotely romantic with her. I could imagine him seeing Kakashi and his mum kiss, and he's not sure if he should rip out his own eye balls or Kakashis. But he's also happy because now he has someone on the inside who knows what his face looks like. Sorry I got a bit carried away with this ask.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
part 2 from this!
warnings: fem!reader.
•••
let's say it's been three months since that dinner together.
he's pretty chill about his sensei and his mom dating now, he says, while having an existential crisis after seeing you, his MOM, kissing kakashi's cheek. worse of all was seeing that lazy old man BLUSHING because of it!!!
god, he's gonna beat him into a pulp, he's gonna beat his ass so hard it will be as flat as concrete, he's gonna obliterate him and CHEW on his bones out of SPITE, he's gonna-
iruka is helping naruto work on his anger issues, ok. he's actually a very good therapist for the boy, he really cares about him.
naruto is just a very insecure child with the mind of a feral gremlin, he's jealous of his sensei and scared you're gonna love and care about kakashi more than about him.
and the only way to stop that from happening is the absolute extermination of the competition aka, old lazy and pervert kakashi.
"he's 26 and you can't kill your sensei, naruto," iruka will scold him.
"WHY ARE YOU AND MOM ALWAYS LYING TO ME?!! DON'T YOU LOVE ME?!!!"
iruka will lose some braincells trying to make naruto understand that kakashi is not an old fuck, and that "because he's dating my mom" is not a good excuse for murder, it's still wrong.
of course he's not going to kill kakashi, he's just mad.
but if kakashi happened to trip around somewhere and fall to his death, he wouldn't complain. 
don't get him wrong, he was pretty chill about it at first, he was happy for you being happy!
but then kakashi started patting his head after training and saying "I'm proud of you," and hugging sometimes and saying "that's my boy!", he'd buy naruto ramen and act like a proud dad afterwards and naruto is HAVING A MENTAL BREAKDOWN!!
like, just the thought of having kakashi as his dad makes him go absolute batshit insane. KAKASHI, his FATHER.
he wants to find whoever created the world and beat their ass until they remake it again but with kakashi far away from him and his mom, this time.
naruto would rather kiss sasuke and his entire ugly family on the mouth ten times than to call kakashi "dad" ONCE. 
that's IRUKA'S place!!! his father is and will always gonna be IRUKA, that's the only dad he wants, the only dad he needs, kakashi can die and be reborn two hundred times over and in NONE of them he'd be as great as IRUKA. 
and also iruka is not so insanely ugly that he needs to wear a mask all the time so people won't have their eyes melted by the ugliness. 
he also hates pakkun so much, ON GOD HE HATES that stupid dog so fucking much!!
he only refers to kakashi as "naruto's dad" and naruto is too fucking small to have this much unhinged rage inside him, I swear.
please, don't EVER let him catch you two kissing for everything's that sacred. 
he's gonna go full on nine tails on kakashi and is just... you're gonna lose your boyfriend and your child, because one will die and the other will be IN JAIL for murder. 
he IS going to drag iruka to ALL family dinners as well, to make a point. and honestly, like, aside from iruka that's dying from the awkwardness of this, and naruto that is very petty, you both don't care.
kakashi doesn't want to be naruto's dad, like, he knows he can never replace iruka's importance's in the boy's life and he doesn't want it either. he wants to be a present figure, like, someone naruto can also count on.
they are a family now, and he wants naruto to know kakashi is not in this only for his mom, he's here to support naruto in whatever the boy needs, to care for him too.
and like, it's gonna take some time, but eventually, naruto will see that. slowly, he'll finally understand that kakashi doesn't want to rob him of his mom, or steal iruka's place. he'll realize that kakashi wants nothing more but to love you, and to his surprise, him too.
it's gonna make this boy cry, silently in his room, when he understands that for the first time in his life, he has a complete family now. with one, wonderful, mom and two dads.

Star Wars: Visions thoughts and discussion
Been on a bit of a Star Wars binge lately. Getting ready for the Book of Fett and the return of The Mandalorian soon, just finished playing the Jedi: Fallen Order game, and recently "Star Wars: Visions" dropped on Disney+ (not to be confused with the, like, half-dozen other Star Wars properties that use "Visions" as their title). If you've got the streaming service and haven't watched the series yet, I can honestly suggest you should do so. The whole thing is a series of very short episodes and is entirely non-canon to the setting, so you don't even need a hard understanding of Star Wars to enjoy it.
In fact, it's actually better if you don't know anything about Star Wars going in. Spoilers and brief episode discussion after the jump.
Tumblr media
Episode 1: The Duel As soon as I saw a lightsaber umbrella and a R2 droid in a hat, I knew this one was going to be a must-watch.
I REPEAT. LIGHTSABER. UMBRELLA.
Tumblr media
Solid kick-off for the short series. Dig the aesthetic, dig the classic samurai vibe (even if it's more of an homage than a direct application of the style), dig the simple story. The particular animation style they chose here was a little wonky but I quickly got used to the visuals and loved a bunch of the design choices too much to care. This one was very action/style-focused and clearly chosen as the leading episode for that reason, which I don't fault them at all for.
Episode 2: Tatooine Rhapsody I'm sorry, I don't recall giving Star Wars permission to be this fucking adorable, how dare you.
Tumblr media
The tale of a Padawan survivor of Order 66 who makes a new life for himself not with the power of the Force, but with the power of Rock and Roll and Friendship. Bitchin'. Super adorable, semi-chibi art style that's honestly ringing, like, a dozen different bells in my head for trying to figure out all the different styles it's drawing from. Good fun, if a bit bland in the end. The biggest problem is the music. The story relies on "using music to save the day", which is fine. But when you use that trope you need an absolutely face-melting banger of a performance, which this just doesn't have. An enjoyable entry all the same though. Not bad, not great, cute designs; the quirky story of how Jabba the Hutt got a new slave band to play at his den.
Episode 3: The Twins This entire episode is animated by the team who brought us Kill la Kill and that should really tell you everything you need to know.
You know how if you get a bunch of little kids together, they'll start playing make-believe games where they just invent stories and plot twists and super powers like "I have whatever you can do, but infinity plus 1 better!" shit like that? That's what this short is. It has only the vaguest allusions to the setting proper and immediately hurls every semblance of consistency, logic, and sense out the window with both hands. It is 1,000,000% style over substance.
Okay, y'know what, no, that's not enough to describe the utter insanity this episode is. All I can find online is pictures of the main villain character pulling a General Grievous impression or the protag snaring lightsaber whips on his lightsaber, but that is fucking tiddlywinks compared to where this episode goes.
Tumblr media
There is a scene in this short where the protag, who is ghost-riding the hood of his X-Wing upside down in space without a space suit, super-charges his lightsaber into a giant rainbow of FUCK YOU GEORGE LUCAS with the power of familial love and fabulousness, using said rainbow super saber to CUT AN ENTIRE STAR DESTROYER IN HALF WHILE ACCELERATING TO HYPERSPEED, all to save his twin sister's life by making her explode in a somehow non-harmful manner.
This short is utterly nonsensical drivel and yes I would like more right the fuck now, please and thank you.
Episode 4: The Village Bride Wait, we're actually trying to tell a reasonable story in this series? Sorry, I was still on a sugar high from the previous episode. Lemme sit down.
Tumblr media
The Village Bride is great. Excellent short that's just dripping with atmosphere and a slow, purposeful pace to its writing. It's short and sweet with little focus on the Force-using characters themselves, which actually serves to its credit. Even in the Star Wars universe, the Ainu people can't catch a fucking break. Easily one of my favorites in the whole run.
Episode 5: The Ninth Jedi The fact that two characters in this short have Sasuke's haircut was extremely distracting. But I actually really enjoyed this entry overall.
Tumblr media
Despite playing extremely loose with the established lore around how lightsabers work, this episode over all others really embraces the original setting and tells a slow-burn story about the potential revival of the Jedi Order. A little meandering at times, but it's a solid piece and well worth exploring. Of all the shorts in the series, this one has the greatest potential to actually continue on as a standalone series or be folded into the canon franchise. Main protag is an adorable bean and I love her.
Episode 6: T0-B1 This episode is simultaneously a love letter to Astro Boy and a giant middle finger to Star Wars lore purists.
Tumblr media
The tale of an imaginative Droid named T0-B1 who dreams of becoming a hero like the Jedi he's heard so many stories of. This short gets extra credit for being so unyieldingly stylish and charming. On the surface of its presentation and story choices it seems like it doesn't know anything about Star Wars lore, but it's actually packed full of some pretty deep cuts that show the folk behind it do know what they're talking about and just don't fucking care what purists have to say. The entire thing is just "Yeah, I'm ignoring your lore, but I'm doing it in a fun way that makes the setting more interesting, and I'm so genuine about it that you can't be mad at me". I can respect that. Plus the old dude in that screenshot is an armless Jedi who's retired to be a botanist and that's just fucking cool.
Episode 7: The Elder I'm Episode 1, but better.
Tumblr media
This one. This shit right here. This is the good shit.
I'm sure y'all have heard before that Star Wars is directly inspired by Kurosawa and samurai films in general, but The Elder really digs into that hard. Where Episode 1 styles itself after a samurai tale, Episode 7 is a samurai tale. Subdued, methodical storytelling, slow-burn pace, charming dialogue amid believable characters, and a truly intimidating villain who provokes a brief but striking duel. This is my vibe. I crave more of this. Far and away the best short of the entire series.
Episode 8: Lop and Ocho Oh for fuck's sake, there's going to be so much porn of this bunny girl character, isn't there?
Tumblr media
This entry is another that kind of meanders with the story it's trying to tell and plays very loose with the lore. It reimagines a lot of what we know of the Jedi/The Rebels and Sith/The Empire into a feudal faction-based conflict akin to what you'd see in a period samurai drama. Modernization and callous industry crushing the spirit of the people and breaking apart families. A decent work overall, but nothing really all that impressive in the end. It takes too long to get going and then peters out halfway through its pay-off for some reason.
Episode 9: Akakiri The fact that I had to look up this episode's name and scenes online and still could not remember anything about it should tell you a lot.
Tumblr media
The series ends on a downer with the dramatic tale of a fallen Jedi who sacrifices himself and succumbs to the Dark Side. Turning evil for... the greater good? Wha? Had some pretty neat visuals, but I genuinely cannot remember a damn thing about this episode or its characters. Big swing and a miss in terms of impact.

Iruka :)
How I feel about this character
i feel STRONGLY.... iruka’s literally such an important character and its so crackheaded that he gets paid DUST in shippuden like the fact that people have the audacity to think of jiriaya or kakashi as more integral figures to naruto’s life is literally insane.... i could not think of a more important character to naruto’s story other than maybe sasuke.... the thing is that iruka literally wasn’t even particularly cruel to naruto, he just treated him like any other student in the beginning!! but like SCREAMS when he takes that big ass shuriken to the back for naruto and he apologizes to naruto, crying for him oh my god im tearing up just thinking about it because in this ENTIRE village of useless scummy fuckers iruka’s the ONLY person in the whole series to ever apologize to naruto for how he’s treated!!!!!!!!!!! iruka getting over the hatred he has towards the kyuubi for killing his parents and being able to see naruto for who he is and be the first person to extend genuine kindness towards naruto, to risk his life because he understands naruto and sees what no one else will in him i just . SCREAMS I LOVELOVELOVE IRUKA SOOOOO MUCH THE SERIES WOULD LITERALLY BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IF IRUKA WASN’T THERE TO GIVE NARUTO THAT EMPATHY AND KINDESS. it makes me SO mad that he gets DUST in shippuden like other than killer bee acknowledging that iruka’s important to naruto iruka gets NOTHING while we lick kakashi’s toes like UUUGHHHHHH.... 
All the people I ship romantically with this character
eye..... gai and kakashi ................. i guess .......... but liek i’ll keep it absolutely real i don’t care about either of them that much LOL i ship them w iruka but it’s more about iruka like if i could dropkick kakashi out of all the art he’s in with iruka and take his place and treat iruka right myself i would. i jus wanna see my man happy T__T 
My non-romantic OTP for this character
oh him and naruto umino-uzumaki household all fucking DAY baby!!!!!!!!!! literally i can’t stand that his and naruto’s relationship like other than iruka buying naruto ramen just like... comes to a halt after shippuden like it’s so unrealistic that we just stop seeing them interact point blank period??? because iruka really treated naruto so fondly and like when i remember that iruka was canonly up worrying his ass off (rightly so LOL) when naruto was in the land of waves i jus ;W; because you could not have a more tender relationship, like the MEANING of it all. iruka sees himself in naruto and lmfaoo considering all the trash ass comparisons that happen in this stupid manga he’s probably the only adult in the whole series who actually rightly sees himself in a younger character and he ACTS RIGHT ABOUT IT..... he’s really the only adult that ever actually cared for naruto and i love their relationship and bond so sosososososo much i loove thinking about them and how iruka’s so young but he’s jus basically got a kid now. and you know what? it slaps 
My unpopular opinion about this character
THE FACT PEOPLE TAKE LIKE... FILLER.... AS AN EXCUSE TO HATE IRUKA LMFAOOOOOOOOO. LIKE THE HATE IRUKA GETS IS SO COMPLETELY DUMBLY UNFOUNDED LIKE ITS FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AT ALL OTHER THAN???? RACISM ??? I DONT KNOW??? THE WAY PEOPLE JUS DISLIKE HIM FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING??? its so SCHEWPID like folks will genuinely watch one episode of filler where iruka smacks naruto upside the head and be like oh... he’s so awful and abusive.... and then they’ll check the time and hurry off for suckle kakashi’s nuts o clock. literally iruka should be one of THE most loved characters in the fandom like the way people make eyes at itachi and obito and kakashi is how we should be adoring iruka jus no one here has TASTE and also i literally go feral when i remember kishi saying he wishes he put iruka in more scenes i cant STAND EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SERIES AND ITS FANDOM
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
i wish he had more scenes jus in general because overall i really like iruka’s canon personality in pt 1 and pt 2 :( like seeing him with naruto is jus so enjoyable but oh we can absolutely scrap that shit in the light novels where iruka’s like “aahhh narutos getting married. man im lonely” like what the fuck kind of clown shit LOL? ig one thing i would have really liked is if iruka’s proficiency for sealing was expanded on? like honestly no one in konoha knows fuck shit about naruto’s seal when jiraiya isn’t around and it’s a little aggravating. oh ANNDDD i think that iruka should have been the one to jump in and save naruto during the pein fight sorry hinata but like idk how iruka could NOT ??

Reviving Sunflowers in the Dark
Chapter 1 
SH Month Day 1 (Memory)
Hinata had just finished packing the last box as Kiba, Shino, and Akamaru arrived. After loading all the boxes onto the cart, they decided to take a quick break in her small apartment. Kiba sat and ate one of her sandwiches while feeding the large white dog with some of the meat she had specially prepared for him. Shino and Hinata quietly drank tea as they watched their teammate dote on Akamaru.
“ I don’t like this, you know,” Kiba said as he patted the dog’s head. He wagged as tail in delight.
“ Kiba, we have already discussed this. Please…” Shino sighed.
“ I know, I know! ‘Don’t make this harder on Hinata, blah blah.’ I just don’t know what Tsunade was thinking!” He angrily cried.
“ Kiba-kun…I was the one who volunteered. Please don’t blame her…” Hinata quietly spoke.
Akamaru laid on the floor as he softly whimpered. Though he could not understand what they were saying, he knew his master and friends were not happy with each other. It made him feel sad, but he decided to stay quiet and hoped they would solve whatever problem they were having right now. Besides, the treats in front of him were too delicious to ignore.
“ I know! I’m mad she didn’t reject it. I don’t understand, Hinata. I don’t understand why you have to put yourself through this. He’s fucking crazy! We don’t know what he’s capable of, but I know if he wanted to, he can have this whole fucking village destroyed in less than a minute. He’s a dangerous fucking asshole and everyone knows it!” Kiba slammed his fists on the table as he stood up in anger. Shino quickly stood up to calm him down by gently gripping his shoulder. Letting a deep breath out, Kiba sat back down.
“ He needs help, Kiba-kun,” Hinata softly looked into his eyes, hoping he would understand.
“ Then get Sakura! She’s a fucking medic nin. Or get the old hag herself. You aren’t even qualified!”
“ They are needed at the hospital. I am only going there to live with him for a year to watch over him and take notes. It will help Tsunade-sama in assessing him and in making sure he will attend therapy sessions,” She calmly responded.
“ A fucking year?! Hinata, are you insane?! He is dangerous and psychotic. Who knows what he’s thinking and who fucking cares anyways! He should have gotten the death penalty, if not at least prison.”
“ He has his chakra sealed…He may be dangerous, but he isn’t psychotic. He needs therapy. Kiba-kun, he needs help. We can help him,” She defended.
“ He’s hurt a lot of people. He can hurt you, chakra or not. I don’t want you near him. He may have saved us during the war, but he was part of what caused it in the first place. I don’t trust him. I don’t trust him one bit. He’s probably thinking about how to destroy this village at this very moment!” Kiba angrily huffed in his chair.
“ Kiba, please do not cause any more argument. Hinata, have you really thought this through? Are you really sure that you want to do this?” Shino calmly asked as he turned to the dark blue haired girl.
Hinata tightened her grip on the teacup. She knew that Kiba was worried about her, he wouldn’t have become so angry otherwise. And although Shino had remained calm throughout their argument, she knew that he too was worried. She would have been lying, if she had said that she was not afraid of the man. However, he needed help. She knew that he needed help, and she was the only one who could do it. She was the only one who was willing to anyways.
“ I…I want to help him. I would be lying if I were to say that I am not afraid of him. I know that he… has hurt many people. He is dangerous, but I don’t feel that he is evil.” Hinata responded. She could feel him staring at her behind his dark shades, analyzing what she had just said. Shino was a quiet man, but she knew that he held a lot of emotions. He was just much more mature and logical at viewing things in comparison to their hotheaded friend.
“ While I disagree with your opinions, I will support your decision, if that is what you truly wish to do.”  
Hearing his response made Hinata smile. After a few moments, Kiba sighed in defeat as he realized that this was an argument he was not going to win. Although he still felt angry at the situation, in the end, if Hinata really wanted to go through with it then he would support it. She was like a little sister after all.
“  Fine, fine. I still don’t like it though, but if you really wanna do this then I won’t stop you. If it gets too much for you make sure to tell us.” Kiba said.
Nodding her head, Hinata felt both relieved and happy that Kiba and Shino had supported her decision. Although they were both still unhappy with it, they would set aside their differences. Their friendship was more important.
However, there was still something that Shino did not quite understand.
“ Hinata…”
Hinata looked at the man curiously.
“ Yes, Shino-kun?”
“ Why do you want to help him?” Hearing this, Kiba instinctively turned to face her.
There was a long pause from both people. Shino was patiently waiting for a response. Akamaru had also lifted his head up to look at her. If she were to be honest with herself, she did not really have an answer for it. The war had ended only a few days ago, leaving behind wounds that were still fresh in everyone’s mind. Her friends had been hurt, some more severe than others. Her home had been destroyed, reduced to piles of broken wood and stone. Her cousin had died for her leaving behind an emptiness that she still hadn’t quite fully processed yet.  Her dear teammates had been injured and were still in recovery. Sakura, the pink brunette who had been working hard day and night to treat the injured, had fainted from exhaustion leaving only the Hokage herself to treat the rest.
Konoha was in scrambles due to the tiresome war, something the last Uchiha had helped brought forth. Many had blamed him and had become furious when Tsunade had made the announcement of his punishment. Many were unhappy with the Hokage’s decision to not use the death penalty as punishment for his crimes. The complaints and riots along with the injured civilians had pushed the blonde woman to her limits. Her duties had left her exhausted. All for the sake of one blonde man’s wish.
She knew that Sasuke Uchiha deserved punishment for what he did, but she also knew that he was the one who had helped end the war. That did not and would not ever erase what he had done, but it made Hinata feel conflicted. He was a rogue ninja who had been an accomplice in a war that had destroyed the land. He deserved the death penalty, it was only fitting. One death for the justice of all the others who had died. After all, he was the only “leader” left that was still alive from the war.
And yet…
She had wanted to check on Naruto, the blonde injured man that had been knocked unconscious due to exhaustion. He had been severely injured as well, but the medics had treated him well, leaving him to rest for the remainder of the recovery. He was surrounded by people of all sorts though, many cheering for joy at the end of the war. Many proclaimed him as a hero, some were already advocating him for Hokage. Overall, it was a joyous occasion for most.
And then there was Sasuke Uchiha.
She remembered the strands of black hair soaked with blood and dirt that clung to his forehead, and the dried blood that stained his cheeks and eyes. His arm had been torn. The flesh that held it bled out profusely. He was lying on the ground near Naruto, yet not one person stood by his side. While Naruto was being treated with great care surrounded by joys of the people, Sasuke had been left in the cold alone. He was still bleeding when Hinata had noticed him, his eyes still opened. However, despite bleeding red second by second, he remained quiet. He did not move nor did he speak.
Hinata did not know how long she had stared at him, but he eventually turned his head at her direction. He had sensed her gaze. This shocked Hinata, causing her to jump.
White eyes met black.
It was then that Tsunade had finally decided to come over to Sasuke’s side. Green energy formed around her hands as she worked to heal the superficial wounds around his body. Yelling for a medic team, they all proceeded to carry him away to further heal him. His eyes never left hers.
Even after they were long gone, she had continued to stare at the direction they had gone to. A strange feeling washed over her as she replayed the moment in her mind. Despite winning the war and saving the land, despite the cries of happiness that had engulfed the two -
Sasuke’s eyes had remained vacant the entire time.
“ When I saw him that day after the war had ended…”
Looking at the ground with a somber expression, Hinata walked to the cart in preparation for the ride. Her teammates followed behind her. They helped her secure the boxes as they silently waited for her to finish. As she fastened the last box in place, the strange feeling came back again. Feeling an emptiness tug at her heart, she turned to Shino and Kiba one last time before getting on.
“ I couldn’t help but feel sad.”
