SEMIFINALS
GAARA vs SENJU TSUNADE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reasons for submission under the cut
Gaara
he overcame his incredible loneliness and childhood trauma with a lot of grace
he acknowledged the people he may have hurt (rock Lee) and did everything in his power to build up from there
he was always very caring (like when he brought the girl he accidentally hurt an apology gift when he was a child)
he was someone who understood Sasuke and shed tears for him
he motivated an entire army of shinobi that were fighting amongst each other, and he did it purely with love for Naruto, showing how powerful his kindness is
serial killer turned babushka. Quite possibly the sweetest and funniest character transformation [submitter]'s ever seen
he enjoys succulent and cactus gardening, based as always
his gardening outfit is the cutest shit ever seen
he has cat eyes which are very cute
nothing but respect for my goth teenaged president 🫡
he's so polite,,
his character development is amazing, he went from being a crazy murderer, to gaining the trust of his whole village and becoming the Kazekage
despite how drastic his character development was, it still feels understandable due to how badly he was treated as a child, and how deep down he always wanted to love but was simply punished for it
eeeing him recover from his trauma thanks to Naruto is really heartwarming
one of the best redeemed villain characters ever imo
very cool character design
storyline that made [submitter] cry like a baby three different times
he's so full of love
has a cool transformation
enjoyable demeanor once he got the help he needs
nice to see a quiet but social introvert succeed in life, overcome his trauma, and learn his self worth
he was an edgy 12 year old who talked like shadow from shadow the hedgehog (2005) how can u not like that
he's funny
he's pretty cool when he's older, a good leader
his arc is [submitters] favorite in the series
lovely to see how far he came and how hard he worked to overcome his demons
Tsunade
milf….
was the best hokage
the regulation she created to include medics on every team saved so many lives
she's funny and a complex and interesting character
is a bad bitch
probably THE most competently written female character in the entire series
she has a very rich history that plays into her character's actions and motivations
wanting to be the best medic-nin possible in order to save more lives because she lost her love Dan, and also change the way ninja squads operated to always have a medic to save more lives did so much for the better during the war to reduce casualties
after being broken down by so many people she cares about dying, she dips and leaves behind ninja society, which has taken everything from her (including wiping out her clan)
because Tsunade is also one of the most legendary/strongest ninja alive, no one could really stop her or chain her down. It takes the conviction of a child who wants her to save the village and heal his friends to get her back to Konoha, despite the all the trauma she's endured
she's a medic with a fear of blood that overcomes that to fight her own teammate and beat his ass so Orochimaru stops killing and maiming people
she steps up to be a leader because it's what the new generation need and someone has to fix all the stuff broken by her selfish teammates and old teacher
the strongest female character both in physical strength and the strength of her writing. It's like she was written first as a character versus most of the other female characters being written first as Girl and Love Interest
Tsunade is vain and a chronic gambler and drunk, she is really brash and abrasive, she is traumatized. But she's also deeply caring, an incredibly accomplished woman, one of the smartest people/medics in the world, and a great leader
she's multi-layered. She is a woman, but her entire character isn't just Woman
finally finished the job on Jiraiya on previous poll
strong arms
she is strong and smart and quick as a whip but still soft and caring when it comes to her loved ones. Characters with rough exteriors who are mushy inside are very good

love how madara doesnt miss a chance to be an impossibly huge cunt to everyone he meets in battle. telling ohnoki that he sucks at fighting wasnt enough, he had to tell him that he's ugly as well

watching this to figure out exactly how far I got without having to read dozens and dozens of episode summaries and kinda surprised I barely got more than half way
#well maybe a little closer to 2/3 than 1/2 considering the 20ish minute animation tangent#but basically i remember everything clearly up to jiraiaya's death then i think i started mentally checking out#but like i kept going 'oh yeah i remember the sage (frog) training' 'oh yeah hinata getting beat up'#i think i truly checked out when naruto showed mercy to pain after beating him. yeah yeah in character but still felt like a cop out#bc then i have huge gaps in memory until the 5 kage summit and another huge gap until sakura's confession to naruto#not done watching the video though so maybe i have watched more than i remember but i was def just going through the motions at that point#until whenever i dropped it#its before neji's death though i can tell you that lol. i remember hearing about it happening in the manga way before the anime got to it a#and being sooooo pissed#but ykno i did enjoy most of what i watched so vicariously reliving it through the retelling was also fun to listen through#update: okay i also vaguely remember danzo vs sasuke#update 2: was the sasuke vs kakashi fight really this far in bc i loved that fight wtf#update 3: oooooooh naruto parents' backstory... yeah i remember that too. maybe i really did watch more than i remembered oops#okay final update yeah i dont remember konan vs obito and definitely didnt know abt his new mask so i guess i watched abt 3/4 of the series#man i really checked out bc i never realized how present obito was for so much of this#also sucks that konan's fight was RIGHT after i dropped it bc i remember being so intrigued by her but i was also just so fed up by this po#point* that i couldnt bring myself to keep watching#MAN THEN GAARA GETS A BIGGER ROLE AGAIN THIS SUCKS MAN HES ONE OF MY FAVES

read boruto's two blue vortex... and i just find it... boring? it doesn't really incite any kind of curiosity or excitement within me, rather i just find too many things they need to address with the trajectory they're going for.
and personally? i think ikemoto might actually be a good mangaka IF he's given the opportunity to make his own story, not to take the burden of someone else's vision. like his art skill is good, and there are things from the manga that made me go "hmm if this is from a different manga i would actually be interested" but because boruto as a whole carry the burden of being a sequel (?), which means ADDRESSING TONS of shit that have already been set-up from HUNDREDS of chapters... forgot one thing and people's gonna start questioning how reliable your narrative truly is. that sounds like an author's worst nightmare, ngl
anyway, all of the critics aside, i think the divine trees turning sentient from the thoughts of people they absorbed is a pretty cool concept 🤔 i just find it a bit meh that the guy who absorbed sasuke's conscience wants to "eat sarada" because if they're going for the "i am curious of this feeling i got from my human host" thing, that "not-sasuke" should actually be really REALLY bewildered by sasuke's memories of naruto and in turns wants to consume him to satisfy his curiosity.
like... idk man a married guy who don't even wear his wedding ring but to have his most precious physical treasure be an old gift from his Very Best Friend is Very Curious, you know???
but also i just think it's cheap for him to obviously target sarada because "oh sarada's an uchiha ofc the personification of her dad's memories wanna eat her!" like idk... give me an actual good justification than just family ties... to add intrigue to your story, you MUST fight against your reader's expectations AND genre's conventions because people nowadays have already know every single narrative trick a bit too much. so rather than depending on their logic, you should always betray that and give them not a formulaic story, but a Very Emotional experience.
(that's why chainsaw man works btw, its not just about fighting genre's convention, fujimoto just really write a very good, heartfelt story)

huh. i really am the string holding the kids raised by dad/stepmom together huh
#kage rattles#just had a really eye opening talk w one of my sisters#i knew the 2 of them dont have the same kind of relationship w each other that that they do w me#and thats okay. i cant really blame either of them#but i love both of them a lot and i cant say that having a complicated thing w family going on is something thats new to me#but its just really. wild i guess. that im basically the reason either of them see each other for more than just the odd holiday#not that they see each other terribly often but they live in different areas of the province so like fair#but they dont really...talk either#and im not mad about it or anything like theyre more than allowed to not talk much or have much of a relationship like it doesnt affect#mine w either of them at all thats not quite what i mean#i guess its just sorta strange to think about#i wont lie & say it does put a bit of pressure to basically be the one thing keeping this part of my family together#but its not intentional on my sisters part and i know that & i absolutely dont resent either of them for it#and its not really News that 90% of whats keeping them together is me bc i knew that as well#but i guess HOW true that was is a...surprise?#its just sort of a lot to take in i suppose??#and theyre a LOT closer in age than they are to me (30 & 27 vs 21)#so i was really young when a lot of shit happened. so theres so much i know i dont know#and its not really my business but i dunno. on top of how im the only one of the 3 thats not stepmoms kid i cant help but feel this#massive disconnect in one way or another#& again its not their faults and never will be but. i dont know. im just sorta feeling things without understanding what im feeling#its been a weird day

Ah, sorry! I meant after they get married and maybe are starting a family, which omegas would become stay at home parents vs working parents
-sauce anon
Okay, I got it! Here are my thoughts~ I've just done parents, because I don't think many of them would retire after a marriage. I think the only ones who might retire after marriage might be Kankuro and maybe Sai. Itachi would too, if he was allowed, but eh, the clan probably don't agree to it until he's pregnant.
Working parentings (workload that takes them away from family time more often):
Naruto - Becoming hokage was his dream, and he feels a great responsibility for his village that he could never let go off. It's a massive part of his life, and he couldn't give it up, no matter what.
Sasuke - He does not have the mental fortitude to be a stay-at-home parent. He quite simply couldn't cope feeling cooped up and trapped by his child. Sasuke is a better parent when he has some time alone, and some time to travel a bit.
Shikamaru - I've put him here and in the category below, because I think it does fluctuate. He has a massive workload, and it's something he feels he doesn't have a choice in taking. He's the sort of person who never feels like he's done enough, and yet is always working too much. It's not his identity though. He works because he feels he has to.
Gaara - Again, another kage here, with the massive workload that comes with that. To his credit, I think Gaara manages to find the best balance out of the men in this category, but he still works a lot. I think, like Naruto, he feels the responsibility and care to his village, and he could never abandon them.
Working parents (workload that keeps them around more often):
Shino - He's a teacher at the academy, so while he is a working parent, he is around a lot, as he goes to school with the pups, and then also walks home with them. That being said, he would probably take leave when his pups were babies/toddlers and stay at home full time, unless his alpha was staying at home with them. Aburame culture dictates that one parent should stay at home if there are pups, and the clan helps support that financially.
Shikamaru (again) - However, continuing on Shikamaru, if his alpha ever made a breakthrough on getting him to make his own decisions, or it got to the point where Shikamaru had to step back from being the Hokage's aid to run the clan, he's around a bit more. I think this balance would be the one that made him happiest, but he needs a push to get there.
Iruka - He's similar to Shino, although depending on his age, he might be the head of the academy. He stops taking extra shifts or missions once he has children and focuses on teaching. He could never leave his students. I think he would get bored just staying at home, so working suits him better.
Flexible parents (those that might not work, but might as well, depends on the circumstances):
Chouji - I think he would want to be around when his pups were very young for sure, but after that, I think it depends. He would eventually be taking over the clan, but that might be when his children are older anyway. He might run missions on occasion, if he's well suited. If his children needed him more for whatever reason, he wouldn't though. It's very situational.
Kisame - I think he wouldn't mind staying home with small children, but once they hit school age, he would get too bored without things to do. I'm not sure what work he would be doing in a world where he was stable enough to have children, but he'd find something, maybe collecting bounties.
Yamato - He wants his children to know that he is always there for them no matter what, so I think he'd feel guilty working. But once they were in school, he'd probably find a job that fit around school hours. Even if it was just helping around the village with the mokuton. I think he'd like to do that.
Stay-at-home parents:
Kiba - He's got far too many to dump on someone else XD No, Kiba is happiest with his family. Work schmerk. There is literally no way he could be bored. With how many he has, he often has a child small enough to require attention all day.
Neji - He is determined to go back to work after having a baby. Absolutely, 100% sure. But every time it gets to the point where he should be returning to taking missions, he makes up some arbitrary reason why he can't. "They've been anxious about nursery, I think I should stay at home until they settle", "They need to finish their medicine for the infection, I'll stay home to make sure they take it", "They said they don't enjoy school... maybe I should homeschool?" He ends up staying home until they leave the house, and by then his priorities have changed.
Itachi - All he wants to do is stay at home. He would have retired after marriage if his clan wouldn't have thrown a fit over it. Once he quits taking missions, he's never going back. He's a bit lost after his children leave home, and he mourns not having as many as he would have liked. Until he's provided with grandchildren or chickens to look after lol.
(I was really, really torn on Minato and how I wanted to characterise him, so I left him off. If it was canon Minato, it would be the top one for sure, but I don't know if that's how I want to go with him, idk.)

Also obsessed with how she’s the physical and metaphorical embodiment of a cherry blossom…
In Japan, the cherry blossom possesses contradicting significances and embodies matters that are mutually incompatible.
While cherry blossoms are aesthetically beautiful, they also represent violence and the ephemerality of life. From an individual level, cherry blossoms displayed both the joy of life (reproductivity, feminine sexuality, etc.) and the sorrowful side of life (impermanence of things and the significance of death).
The dual nature of cherry blossoms is present in Sakura as a character. This is made blatant through the appearance of sakura vs inner sakura which is clearly a metaphor for the concept of honne vs tatemae.
To further elaborate, the dual nature of her character is the crux of many of her inner conflicts throughout the series and it is also what fuels her growth. In both of these situations, Sakura is unable to express how she truly feels. Her actions contradict her thoughts and feelings, this is a consistent aspect of character within the manga.
(ino vs sakura and kage summit arc for instance)
Throughout the manga, she mentally struggles with being a shinobi. Her growth as a character is dependent upon her inner conflicts contradicting one another in an attempt to understand what it means to be a shinobi. Are they merely tools for the state, or is there something more?
The land of waves arc covers this explicitly but this question is posed once again for Sakura during Sasori vs Sakura where Sakura’s opponent, Sasori, quite literally turned himself into an emotionless puppet in order to deal with being a shinobi. He is the product of the teachings of Sunagakure, an oppressive military regime like many other shinobi villages, but also the result of someone who refuses to let go thus filling him with grief and resentment over the years (Art is eternal). It is no coincidence that Sakura, whose namesake symbolizes the fleeting impermanence of human existence, is the one to fight him.
Tied to the Buddhist themes of mortality, mindfulness and living in the present, Japanese cherry blossoms are a timeless metaphor for human existence. According to Buddhism, we live in the very midst of universal, fleeting impermanence. Any refusal to let go entirely whatever has now vanished inevitably leads to pain.
The meaning of cherry blossoms is also said to reflect the philosophy of a Japanese person, who lives in a country of impermanence, of earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanos. Thus, like cherry petals, they are willing to fall at the height of one’s life due to their awareness of the impermanence of life. The death of one’s flesh means a returning to the kami’s land, and the cherry flower becomes the bridge that links life to death.

As we know, in Naruto, awakening new powers and body moves on its own when your loved one was in trouble or in danger.
Tumblr media
This was when he uses Kage bunshin no Jutsu for the first time to protect Iruka.
1. Zabuza attacking Sasuke
No. Of shadow clones increasing when Sasuke was in trouble
Tumblr media
Ah... Shadow clones.... And quite a lot of them...
2. Sasuke's death
Tumblr media
This is the first time we see Naruto awaken this Nine tails power despite all the hatred he accumulated during his childhood when the villagers treated him badly. The reason for his awakening was none other than Sasuke.
3. Gaara vs Sasuke
When Sasuke admitted that he too was his precious comrade and that he could save Sakura, he could make Tajū kage bunshin no jutsu. Meanwhile, when it comes to Sakura's rescue...he was only able to make 4 Kage Bunshins compared to thousands.
Tumblr media
TO PROTECT SOMEONE IMPORTANT.... NARUTO BECOMES EVEN STRONGER!!
4. Sasuke retrieval arc
I already talked about this particular arc in my previous post [link]
"NARUTO LETS OUT A WAR CRY AS HE PREPARES TO RETRIEVE SASUKE!!"
Tumblr media
"WITH THE MONSTROUS MULTIPLE SHADOW CLONE INITIATION, NARUTO'S RAGE SURROUNDS KIMIMARO!"
Tumblr media
"YOU WON'T TAKE SASUKE!" NARUTO'S RAGE SURROUNDS KIMIMARO!"
5. The reason for Naruto to enter the fourth tails form.
Tumblr media
"USING SASUKE'S NAME TO TAUNT NARUTO... OROCHIMARU INCITES A TEMPEST OF RAGE!!!"
Hearing Orochimaru say 'My Sasuke-kun' sends him into a rage that activates his nine tails power
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"EXTREME POWER BORN OF A RAGE VERGING ON MADNESS!!"
Tumblr media
"OROCHIMARU CONTINUES WITH YET ANOTHER TAUNT... UPON HEARING IT, NARUTO UNDERGOES AN EVEN GREATER TRANSFORMATION!?"
"THE DREADED FOURTH TAIL MAKES ITS APPEARANCE WHAT IS THIS OMINOUS TRANSFIGURATION NARUTO HAS UNDERGONE!!?"

Minato/Sasuke because it's funny
omg i ship it. i don't usually go for ships because of outsiders' reactions (i know "everyone freaks out" is the point of crackships for some people, no disrespect) but consider
pretty
sasuke's incredibly toxic everything vs minato being the most supportive partner in the world
the inevitable minato corruption arc catalyzed by sasuke's iconic toxicity. it starts off with minato being like "SASUKE NO" and sitting on him and slowly morphs into "yeah we SHOULD murder all the kage, what a good idea, i'll help you--"
team 7 losing their goddamn minds
