#shino: i'm a genius

One thing I hate about Naruto is that Kishimoto wasted so much potential for Sakura, Team Gai, Hyūga clan, Kurenai, Shino, and so many others.
For me, Sakura is the most wasted because she's one of the main characters, yet it didn't seem that way. Compare Sakura and the other mains. She is more like a side character who's a fan favorite like Shikamaru, expect a lot people hate her.
It makes sense to not like Sakura in the beginning. That's what character development is for. Sakura was supposed to go from boy-crazy to the strong independent heroine, and if you read the manga, it does feel that way but, in the end, she ends up with Sasuke now, that would be a problem if she didn't immediately forgive him, she was the one who told Naruto to stop seeking Sasuke because she could tell, that it was pointless and the damage is evident. Kishimoto himself said he regretted Sakura's character, failed, and said that even if he expanded on her it wouldn't raise her popularity. It was too late the damage was done. Kishimoto knew Sakura wasn't popular yet chose moments for Sakura that needed understanding of her badly written character.
All of the team members of Gai had so much potential, Gai & Lee being the best Taijutsu users, Neji being the genius of the Hyūga clan, and Tenten even though we don't see her a lot, in the manga, we don't see the fight between her and Temari, but we see a few scratches on Temari. Of course, we didn't see the official fight, and Tenten still got folded, but it's the thought that counts. It's a shame we never got to see her get better. She could have used her chakra and infused it with her weapons like Asuma does. We never got to see them fight after the Kazekage Ark, and we never saw them fight as a team, a beautiful dysfunctional team.
The Hyūga clan at the start was shown was the strongest clan, and we learned a lot about the clan during the chūnin exams. With the Hyūga clan, I see the loss of potential with using about them. Personally, I'm fine with Hyūga clan being put in the sidelines for the Uchiha clan to shine. But we only had two main characters from Hyūga clan, Hinata, and Neji. Compared to the Uchiha clan, we don't see any other characters aside from fillers. I just wished we got to learn more about the Hyūga clan and their connection to the Ōtsutsuki clan, which we only saw during the last movie.
I always feel bad for Kurenai because she was done dirty. We were told she was one of the greatest genjutsu users, and the only time we see her fight is against the greatest genjutsu user, Itachi Uchiha. Of course, she gonna lose against him, and that's the one time we see her fight apart from fillers. Then she ends up pregnant and boom she's nothing but a mother, which is fine. Most of the mothers in anime are dead, but we are told that Kurenai is a genjutsu specialist and we never got a chance to see that canonically.
Shino has shown potential in the fights we have seen him in, but we never went into depth into Shino how he uses his bugs and gets better at using them. Apparently, the Aburame clan can identify and counter genjutsu because their kikaichū don't have the brain structures for it. I mean it's a shame we didn't see especially since the show later was centered around the Uchiha clan.
Overall, the reason many characters got left out of the series or ignored was that Kishimoto focused everything on Naruto, Sasuke, and popular characters due to the fans.

hello!! may i request naruto omegas reacting to their alpha calling them by their full name? i think it would be quite funny ^⁠_^
(Lol, you're right, this was fun to write XD I went for a load of different reasons why the alpha might say their full name haha. I just did a couple of the boys <3)
Naruto:
"Naruto Uzumaki."
Naruto froze where he was, both hands poised to open an instant cup ramen. As his eyes met yours, he started to laugh nervously.
"Er...yes?" he asked sheepishly.
"What part of 'I'm making dinner tonight' did you not understand?" you asked, hands on your hips.
"Um, I'm hungry?"
"Put it back, or so help me."
Sasuke:
"Sasuke Uchiha," you started, steeling yourself with a deep breath. Than hand holding the paper was shaking. "Even back during our academy days, I knew that I was going to marry you. From the moment I declared you prettiest boy in class in front of my parents and asked for money to court you."
Sasuke was watching you intensely, and you were suddenly glad that he'd insisted on so few guests, because the vulnerability was massive.
You continued your speech, and you finally hit the last part.
"And I know that I'm making the best decision of my life today, because a life without you wouldn't be a life worth living. I love you so much sometimes it scares me, so much it burns, but it's still the best feeling I've ever felt."
Sasuke's face screwed up like he was going to cry, but at the last minute he turned his head away from you and the crowd and clearly used every self control mechanism he had to stop himself from shedding any tears.
Kakashi:
"Kakashi Hatake."
Kakashi looked down at you laying on his chest, eyebrow raised in a silent question.
"And Y/N Hatake," you added, smirking up at him. "Don't those names sound great together, 'kashi?"
Kakashi slowly turned red, every muscle tensing underneath you. You found great amusement in dropping marriage hints and watching him panic.
You let it hang for a few moments before laughing and breaking the tension.
"I'm only teasing you," you smiled, feeling him relax a little. "But I wasn't joking."
Itachi - (non-massacre)
"Itachi Uchiha."
He startled from his position reading a book on your bed.
"Yes?" he asked, looking baffled.
"If you don't do something about your brother, I am going to lock him in one of the kitchen cupboards, this is your one warning."
His baffled looked melted into one of amusement.
"What did he do this time?"
You held up the paper sign that you were holding. It read 'kick me, I deserve it'.
"He pinned this to my back this morning."
Itachi started to smile.
"If you laugh I'm putting you in the kitchen cupboard with him."
Shikamaru:
"Shikamaru Nara."
Shikamaru immediately froze, halfway through taking off his shoes in the doorway.
"Whatever it is, I didn't do it," he said, holding up his hands.
You raised an eyebrow but didn't give a response. You could see Shikamaru's brain working overtime to figure out what he'd done, but nothing seemed to come to mind.
You watched him suffer for a bit before bursting out laughing.
"Sorry," you laughed. "I just wanted to see what you'd do if I did that."
Shino:
"Shino Aburame."
"Yes...?" he answered hesitantly, seeming unsure of what you were doing.
"That's the best idea ever, you're a genuis!"
Shino blushed a little.
"I am not a genius," he denied. "Why? The solution was quite simple and I was happy to provide it."
"Genius," you reiterated, grabbing his face and pressing your lips against his. "Thank you so much!"
You ran off, leaving Shino standing there, in crisis from the kiss.

The reason the leaf was founded was so that children could grow up in peace, safe from war
If this had worked out, what do you think the Konoha 13 would do for a living? Sai would still be an artist
We all love the idea if Sasuke being good with animals so I'm saying a wild life specialist who lives in safari clothes, he can just walk up to lions and other dangerous animals and give them scritches
This is adorable and the idea of Sasuke working with animals instead of becoming a cop like most of his family is *chefs kiss*
Imagine Sasuke starts by helping Kiba part time at Hana's vet clinic and falls in love with the job!!
Sakura could totally be a teacher, I can see it, I would love to see it!
Naruto would be an artist! He takes a liking to painting at first and experimenting with all sorts of colors and materials, then meets Sai and they could study together~ both having very different styles.
Kiba's a vet, so Shino could study insects, like his dad, he starts out by helping him in the village's research lab or something like that and just feels comfortable following his steps :)
Imagine Hinata would be raised by her dad to be a model or actress from a very young age, but she doesn't enjoy it and still wants to find something for herself.
And then Neji could work with pharmacy? Chemistry? Vaccines? He's like a young genius big nerd and takes Hinata to help, while she figures out what she wants to do with her life.
Ino obviously still works at the flower shop, BUT Gaara moves to work with her because life in Konoha is much better than his family life and gardening is great therapy!
I can't imagine Shikamaru really doing anything so he can become sort of a guide to his clan's deer forest, if Shino needs some data he takes him there, or if Neji is studying some healing property from the deer antlers he goes with him... Like that.
Since the Akimichi are one of the main/noble clans I wanna say Chouji still becomes a ninja, but only when he's older. I believe a few clans or some members would still be kept as fighters to protect the village or take smaller jobs as bodyguards and stuff.
Hear me out... Lee as a mail man! Which is the equivalent of a marathon runner! Imagine his attitude at making sure everyone got their letters and messages on time!
I think Tenten would switch places with Gaara and get herself some internship in Suna working with Kankuro and puppets~

RANDOM DRONERS HEADCANONS BC WHY NOT AAAAA
I'm going to age them up a little here, the youngest being Mouse who will be 16!
Hannah is a mean lesbian. That's it. I'm not going to take this another way, she's just a lesbian icon
Manta swears. Like a lot. He knows every cuss word in existence and would give many sailors a run for their money
Corto can't cook. Like, she burns almost everything that she touches. Meanwhile Mouse is an absolute genius when it comes to food. She measures everything perfectly, everything needs to be done precisely and according to the recepie. And it shows, her cooking is really good. Enki also is a good cook, but he doesn't measure shit and his food also always turns out to be perfect. He doesn't like to cook tho, so he does it really rarely. His methods frustrate Mouse, she can't understand how he does everything without measuring and following the recepie. His cooking is like, ingredients? we have something in the frige, yeah? Recepie? just follow the vibe. Time of cooking/baking? oh my, what a cute butterfly! Mouse can't stand it and she doesn't allow Enki in the kitchen
Shino loves bunnies
Mina actually has a crush on Corto, but she doesn't know how to deal with it so she decides to be mean to her instead. I think that she is a bi-romantic asexual
I'll prolly add more later hah

Do we know how old Hanataru is? I seem to recall it was implied somewhere he and his brother died rather than being born in the soul society though i may be wrong
Hanataro and Seinosuke were born of two human souls in the soul society and they were killed by a hollow. A young Seinosuke picked up his (literal) baby brother and ran away as fast as he could. Ever since he watched that hollow destroy his home and kill his parents, he had been enamored by them. He began to study as much as he could on hollows and became obsessed. He was a good kid trying to feed his little brother while they were homeless and orphaned, but his obsession with hollows lead him to the gotei 13 where he graduated the Shino Academy in just one year with unreal grades and intelligence. He was made lieutenant of squad 4 the day he graduated and that was unprecedented. He became mad with power and hubris, became a sadistic narcissist. He began to abuse Hanataro verbally and emotionally and destroyed any semblance of self worth or confidence he might have had as a child. Seinosuke then joined a cult and jumped out the window in a mask one night after saying something strange and cryptic to Hanataro and abandoning him. Hana had still been in the academy as a new student at that time. Unohana had been looking after the two and became quite attached to them as basically her children. She helped Hanataro graduate as he was never good at kendo or any fighting at all. She knew he shared the gift of incredible kaido with his older brother. "It seems this raw natural talent in kaido runs in the Yamada line", she thought. Hanataro graduates and is made 10th seat (really just because he's Unomama's precious baby boy) I think because she wanted him close by so she could protect him from violent patients and she knew his kaido would improve enough for him to move up anyway. Present day, it has been 100 years since Seinosuke disappeared. That means Hana is over 100 years old. Rukia was 150 and she was considered a kid still, very young and like an 18 year old maybe? Like how I see people under 20 working at my store and I think "Gasp! A baby!" (I'm 26) But then I want to know what year Hisana died and what year did Byakuya adopt her because Rukia was a young child when Hisana died and basically a teen in soul years when she was adopted and I think Hanataro and Rukia are very close in age but I think Hanataro is older than her by a little bit because in the bount arc, Hana's gigai form doesn't start going to school with Ichigo and Rukia, he immediately gets a job without even mentioning or considering that? So maybe he's too old for it somehow? It could also be because he was bullied a lot in Shino Academy so he avoids schools idk But then how old is Seinosuke now and how old is Byakuya now? Are they close in age? I feel like Seinosuke is older than Byakuya. Byakuya was a kid being taught by Yoruichi but Hisana was a kid maybe and Rukia not even born yet so what year did she train him in that scene? What year did she leave the seireitei? Idk my answer is I believe Hanataro is probably 180 years old maybe 165? 170? Idk but he's very young while also being an adult and definitely close to Rukia's age of 150. I think Hana is anywhere from 160 to 180 tops. He was friends with Momo in the academy too so he'd have been there with the others. Shuhei said that Hanataro came from a year (or "generation") of geniuses. Hanataro answers that everyone was a genius in that graduating year except for him, to which Shuhei very swiftly yelled that Hanataro is a genius of that class too! Because his kaido is legendary. Seinosuke was a prodigy and the most skilled kaido practitioner in squad 4 just under Unohana (Isane was still a young member at the time she could have even been new as she is definitely younger than Seinosuke). Hanataro was called the most skilled just under lieutenant Isane Kotetsu so I'm really proud of him.

Hello! Can I request for a Team 8 story where Kiba and Shino meet Kawaki for the first time and was introduced as a new addition to the Uzumaki family? Thanks in advance! 😁
Sure!
***
Hinata didn't often surprise Kiba too much, but when she did, she went above and beyond. He would have supposed that being married to someone like Naruto had rubbed off on her, but she'd always been this way, whether it was standing up to her genius cousin or going up against a godlike entity like Pain.
Still, she could have at least told her best friends that she'd been hiding a secret son in a broom closet or something for years and years.
Akamaru seemed to be taking a liking to this...Kawaki's new scent, sniffing his torn pants while the new kid absentmindedly scratched Akamaru's sagging ears. The boy was rapidly leaving his teenage years behind, with a gloomy, sulking expression so typical of people that age.
An odd black mark marred his left palm. Kawaki kept glancing at it every few seconds with the barest flickers of unease. Like it was a bomb ready to go off. Seemed about right, in Kiba's opinion.
"Tea is ready!" Hinata said cheerfully, smiling in a way that suggested she had no idea what bombshell revelation she had just dropped on Team 8. A secret son. She had a secret son. Whose existence she'd apparently hid. For...eighteen...nineteen years? How? Why?
He knew he wasn't the smartest person on Team 8, but he was pretty sure that if Hinata had been having kids years and years ago...he kinda would have noticed. He wasn't that stupid. He wasn't.
Kiba glanced at Shino out of the corner of his eye in a silent plea for help. Unfortunately, Shino gave him a look that plainly said, I'm just as lost as you are.
"So, Hinata..." Shino began. He brought the teacup to his lips and took a small sip, only to spit it out in a large plume, gagging.
Hinata seemed to not care. (Maybe Hinata kind of scared Kiba. Just a little.)
"I'm sorry, Shino-kun, but you'll have to adjust. Kawaki really loves bitter black tea with no sugar. And milk tea with a lot of sugar. And green tea. And barley tea. And pretty much every tea. He keeps saying that everything I give him is the greatest thing he's ever tasted."
Shino opened his mouth, then closed it, then opened it again, then closed it again. He looked like a goldfish, and a few kikaichuu scurried down his face in confusion. Kiba would have laughed at Shino, but he was sure that he didn't look any better.
"I don't know the full story of what happened to him, but I think Kara was feeding him only gruel and food pills for years and years...have no idea why he doesn't look too malnourished, though..." Hinata, once again, seemed unaware that her words were understandable to no one but herself. "Maybe it's because of all those scientific ninja tools inplanted in his body?"
Gruel. Food pills.
Scientific ninja tools.
...Kara?
So this...Kawaki...was not in fact Hinata's secret son, but some...cyborg she'd found somewhere and adopted? Because that was definitely something Hinata would do. She always was too compassionate for her own good.
Kiba downed his cup of hideously bitter tea in a single gulp like it was sake.

[Fool and Genius's Summer Vacation]
A wonderful comic focused on Neji and Lee by PEYO, a talented artist who passed away in 2020.
I loved it and wanted to share its translation. I don't want to repost arts so I'm posting the translation separately, hope it conveys the story.
Translation starts below the cut.
Page 1.
[Fool and Genius's Summer Vacation]
°Drawings by PEYO
2.
Neji (studying a scroll outside his room, notices Lee):
Lee. You're here again.
Rock Lee: Neji! Today, it's a match!
N: I thought I told you not to come again.. Leave.
R: \\A match! A match!//
Neji:
[During summer vacation, this boy, with two sheets of seaweeds stuck on his face, would always be louder than cicadas.]
3.
R: *wearing a rubber float* Neji, we decide by swimming.
N: I decline. You can't swim anyway.
R: *bringing Shino* Neji, let's settle by catching bugs. I've brought an expert from neighborhood, he's unbeatable.
N: Declined. Why is it 2 vs 1 all of a sudden?
R: *brings a bowl of shaved ice* THEN IT'S A SHAVED ICE EATING COMPETITION!
*Lee shoving shaved ice into his face*
What's up? If you don't catch up, I'll win!
Uwgh.. stomachache...
N: SHUT UP! JUST STOP THESE NONSENSE!
R: *jolts*
4.
N: You're an eyesore.
R: *sweats worriedly*
N: ...
... Rock paper scissor to settle this, so go home already.
R: *beams up*
GOT IT! If I lose, 200 laps around the village on handstand before sunset. It's a promise!!
5.
(rocks paper scissor result:
Lee = paper, Neji = scissor)
(...)
R: *standing on his hands*
I'm off! Also, Neji, once I'm done with it, please consider the next match!
N: Sure.
(200 laps before sunset? That's ridiculous. How far will he take this Guy-imitation?)
R: HERE I GOOO..!!
*Lee rushes away on his hands*
N: A real fool.
To be honest, I'm rather jealous of him.
6.
(Lee walking on handstand around the village festivals as promised, Tenten accompanies him while having some sweets.)
Tenten: Did you mess with Neji again?
You big knucklehead. You'll step on a landmine without knowing a thing.
R: What do you mean?
T: Isn't he in a terrible mood lately? I wanted to invite him to the summer festival, but his atmosphere wasn't like that at all. He's impossible.
If I remember right, he had the same mood around this time last year, as well.
... Come to think of it, tomorrow is Mukaebon*, isn't it?
(*Mukaebon is the first day of Bon festival, when departed souls are believed to return home.)
Maybe, for Neji,
7.
It's a bit complicated time.
-
*Neji alone inside a shrine, door slides open. Hinata walks inside.*
Hinata: Excuse me,
Um, Neji ni-san...
8.
I've made these with my sister, so, if you don't mind...
*lifts a plate of offering for the shrine*
N:... Thank you.
*Hinata places the platter and makes a quick prayer*
H: Speaking of which, Neji ni-san... about tonight's firework display...
N:
H: ... Neji ni-san?
*notices Neji fast asleep*
-
9.
H: it's rare for him to fall asleep all of a sudden... Neji ni-san seems worn out lately.
(!)
*Hinata notices Neji's notebook and picks it up*
This...
A-amazing.. Such a dense note, all to the details of the Meridian system...
.. Could it be that Neji ni-san is trying to acquire Head family's secret arts by himself?
...!
-
"Neji,"
*scene changes to Neji's dream. A young Neji is surrounded by Hyuga elders as lamps are floating away on the water, tribute to the departed during a Mukaebon ceremony*
"come here, Neji"
10.
*A Hyuga elder pats the back of young Neji*
"Here, Neji, Send Farewell to your late father."
*Young Neji stays silent, crying by himself*
N: Bunch of lies. He didn't come back.
Obon? Greeting the departed souls, sending them off?
Stop joking with me.
You people killed my father.
And now you want your redemption with these rituals?
11.
*flashbacks of Hizashi being Punished by Hiashi*
Hizashi: "My head!!"
Hiashi: "Leave. I'll tolerate this foolishness only today. Never forget your place again!"
*scene changes to young Neji*
N: One day, I, too, will become one of them...
-
(gasps)
*Neji wakes up from his slumber inside the home shrine*
N: A dream..
...
12.
*Neji notices a piece of paper tucked under Hinata's offerings, Hinata isn't around. Neji picks it up*
[Hinata's note:
To Neji ni-san,
you seem very tired lately. Please don't overwork, and take care of yourself at times.]
N: I was tired?
Why does any of it have to be the headache of a Head family member? Did she think father would return riding on these-
.. Darn it.
*Neji takes off his headband, walks to the sink and washes his face*
-
I should've known.. that there was no point in making an effort.
Trying to do something for own future is meaningless.
After all, it's about living for the Head family and getting killed if I oppose.
My life had never been my own.
13.
And yet, the reason I desperately try to catch at straws at this time of the year, is perhaps, that I can't let go of the glimmer of hope of his return.
Perhaps just that, if only once I could hear him say,
*Hizashi's voice is heard from the back of the room:*
"Neji, you worked so hard."
N: ... that's all I could wish for-
*Neji realizes he just heard Hizashi from behind him*
!! ...FA-
14.
-ther...
*quickly turns his head in anticipation, there's nothing.*
...
Why do I work hard?
*cicadas buzz away, as the scene changes to Rock Lee still venturing the village streets on his hands*
15.
R: Haa... Haaa..
*villages whisper to each other*
(Uwah, he's still at it? That kid is circling all over the place on his hands since daytime!)
(He's under Guy's tutelage, isn't he?)
(Mom, that boy...)
(shh, don't look!)
(is he okay?)
(he bought some stuff from store a while at ago..)
R:.. One more lap...!!
.. Neji... Wait for me!!
(!)
16.
*Sun is setting. Neji finds Lee slumped at his door*
-
N: Oi, Lee.
Why are you sleeping here? Wake up.
*Lee doesn't respond, his entire body looks banged up and dirty.*
Don't tell me, did he really run 200 laps?
...
*Neji reaches out Lee, then grabs his shirt right and yanks him up*
17.
N: Why do you keep coming back?
(How are you able to do this?
If I were a fool like you, would I not be afraid to make an effort? Had there not been a mark on my forehead, would I be able to believe in a future like you?)
*Tears drop from Neji's eyes*
Lee, stop chasing this mediocre me till it kills you.
18.
I... can't work as hard as you do...
(Neji calling himself mediocre is a reference to ch. 197 quote, "I can't give up for those who believe this mediocre me is a genius")
19.
R: !
*wakes up as Neji's tears trickle down his face*
...NEJI!
N: *jolts*
W-what?
R: A rematch! As promised, now you have to accept it!
N: A match, you say...
*brings out a pack of firecrackers*8
R: Tada! Let's decide it with firecrackers!
I bought them from a firework stall during my run.
Rules are simple! One whose firecracker extinguishes first loses, so..
... Neji?
*Neji rubs his forehead in resignation*
N: I don't get you. Did you run 200 laps for these?
R:..? Yes.
...
*Night falls quickly*
R: The Obon lanterns will be up soon.
Ah, I've brought the matches!
N:....
20.
*Neji sits idly, his firecracker still burning. Lee is tensed. His firecracker is out*
N: You know, even your luck is terrible.
It's my 5th win on a row.
R:...........
N: Why don't you give up already?
R: I won't!
Not yet!! Until effort (?) triumphs over the genius....!
N: You should stop seeing me as a villain because people call me a genius.
Coming up with one childish games one after another...
How long do you want me to cater to your self satisfaction?
It's starting to annoy me.
21.
R: Please don't be mistaken. It's not like I don't want to lose to you because you're a genius.
I don't want to lose to you because you're a genius who also works hard.
-
N: Wh...
*Neji snaps*
What are you talking about?? What do you know about me?
R: That's right. I don't have the slightest idea about things going on in your family.
But,
22.
What it feels like to try hard while being bound by fate is something I know really well.
N: ...
R: But I keep losing to you.
Again, and again...
Just when I thought I could win and let you see a glimpse of a different world, even if I'm not able to save you, still...
...At the very least, I had this thought for a second.
It's another summer that you dislike so much, but you won't be able to enjoy it once it's over!
*Neji recalls Lee buzzing around trying to challenge him*
\\A swimming contest! //
\\bug catching contest! //
\\eating contest!//
N:....!
23.
R: It's okay if it's for just a while. At least, right now,
*grabs Neji's hands to give him a new firecracker*
Rather than living for someone else, live at the moment for these matches against me!
Deal?
24.
*Neji looks at the firecracker*
N: Was it..
always so beautiful?
-
*the atmosphere lights up*
R: The fireworks have started.
Man, I really don't want summer to end..
N: Oi, don't take your eyes off.
R: Eh?
25.
N: I've lost.
R: Huh? Wha-??
*Lee notices that Neji's firecracker is out, his own is still burning*
I DID IT!!! GUY SENSEI...!!! OWOW... HOT!
N: Hey, we still have few more firecrackers.
Let's do it again.
I'm not gonna lose this time.
26.
*Neji smiles to himself*
N: Really.
... a big fool.

So yesterday we finished watching "Wednesday". I highly recommend it if someone hasn't seen it - quite a nice series, although it hurts me a bit that Wednesday is shown as a genius in places, and sometimes she is stupid and does not anticipate the most obvious moves of the opponent. Especially the last two episodes show this.
And now a question for those who have already watched…
Okay, admit here, who among you guessed that Eugene would turn out to be Shino Aburame? XD Honestly, I've been betting on it since the 2nd episode with his participation, when my husband asked me "what is Eugene's power of a freak", where I casually replied "he probably controls insects". Nevertheless… he had a nice final scene. I like it.
I'm disappointed though, because during the Xavier arrest scene, I was sure it was Wednesday who planted the evidence and that she did it to provoke the real Hyde into a fight… Another stupid thing was… Seriously, the Addams member didn't anticipate the poison attack? I can understand the headmistress, but Wednesday should have foreseen this! She was supposed to be the smart one! The scene of her being stabbed in the crypt was also idiotic, as if she totally wanted to die. And why didn't she bring a dagger to fight Pilgrim? Overall, the last two episodes, especially the last one, let me down a bit…
But my first thought turned out be the most hitting. In the first episode, when the characters appeared and the redhead appeared, even before she introduced herself as "normal", I was like "oh, she must be killing". Ta-dah!

Team 8 vs Team 8 (I wanna know who you think would win 👀 and why it's probably Shino lol)
And you are right! I think it would be Shino and here's why:
Tumblr media
First of all, we must take into account what time we are talking about, whether in Naruto or in Shippuden.
Although I think that in both cases he is the winner there is a big difference and that is Hinata (I'm sorry Kiba, I love you but you are the weakest member of your team and one of the weakest of the Konoha12, but that's not your fault, everyone else is overpowered).
Tumblr media
In the first part Hinata was strong, the reason why she looks weak is because she is surrounded by prodigies and she had to fight with her cousin the genius and she was a woman, so she never had her moment to shine in a fight (in fact, she is the strongest kunoichi of her generation).
I can't talk much about her in the second part because she didn't appear as much as other characters (just like the rest of her team) and I can't talk too much about her battle skills other than speculation because the only major fight she ever had was:
1.-When she was 12 years old and didn't even have a year of experience being a ninja
2.-The fight served to raise the problem of the Hyuuga clan and the family tension between Neji and Hinata.
3.-She fought against someone considered a genius who also had more experience than her (and she still resisted like a champion).
And his other important fight was against fucking Pain.
Tumblr media
On the other hand there is Kiba, he is a strong opponent and I think he has good physical abilities in general (stamina, speed, strength, etc), his biggest problem is that he thinks without acting and is very hasty (at least in the first part). Another problem is his intelligence, he is not stupid but his teammates are more of the type to think before acting and that works in their favor.
And then there's Shino
Tumblr media
I don't even know where to start with him.
I think his strongest point is his intelligence. He has already shown that he is a great strategist in battle and a difficult opponent to face because his specialty (unlike his teammates) is long range attacks.
In addition to the fact that he hasn't lost in any fight in which he appeared in the manga (there have only been 2... but they are still 2 more than his teammates so).
And can we talk about how in all his fights he barely moves? In his fight with Kankuro most of his moves were to dodge attacks and in the fourth ninja war he literally destroyed a 10 tails mini clone with a fist bump and I think that's awesome.
If it comes to just taijutsu:
I'm not sure who would win, if Kiba or Hinata, but Shino would totally lose no matter if it's in Naruto or Shippuden (or any other era). I think the one with the most resistance of the 2 would win (and although I'm not sure, my balance leans more towards Kiba in this regard).
If it comes to just ninjutsu:
This is a bit difficult, the ninjutsu of the 3 is very good. While Kiba specializes in brute force and direct attacks, Shino is more of lethal and precise indirect attacks that require good chakra control (come on, you're going to tell me that controlling thousands of bugs at once so they all do the same thing doesn't require precise chakra control?) and Hinata is a perfect combination of both styles.
Hinata could win if she landed a punch, but
1.-I think Kiba is faster than her so this would not be easy at all, so again, I think whoever has more resistance would win.
2.-I'm not sure if she could dodge Shino's bugs if he decided to cover her with them. (And you can say, what about Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven? But did she ever learn it?)
Regarding point 1, sooner or later Kiba will have to approach her if he wants to win and when that happens Hinata can easily beat him.
And as for Shino, he makes his bugs fight for him while he's hiding, which doesn't help much because of her byakugan and his sense of smell.
Still, I think that Shino would win.
He is a better strategist than the 2 of them and his insects are more versatile and cover a greater range.
But like I said before, if Hinata lands a punch she wins.
If it comes to just genjutsu:
... they even know genjutsu?
Uhh, I guess Hinata's byakugan can help her, and Shino's bugs can get him out of a genjutsu (but I'm not sure if this is canon or if I read it from someone else and is now my headcanon, so take it with a great of salt) and Kiba uhh, kudos for trying I guess.
Conclusion:
It all depends in who uses the best strategy and we already know that Shino is the best strategist of his team, so Shino wins.
But it won't be easy, because neither Hinata nor Kiba are someone to underestimate.
But why make them fight each other when you can make them fight someone else as a team and win in a badass way like this

idk if you're still doing prompts but nh + fluff 15? I'm sorry about all the fluff pieces but I live for fluff 😅
I’m sorry if it isn’t as fluffy as usual but I HAD to write something Team 8 centric to soothe my soul today. I can see this turning into a full fanfic though...at some point (I promise)
Fluff #15: “She’s/he’s not my boyfriend!”
After Hinata confesses to Naruto—and her “I love you” goes right over his head—Kiba takes matters into his hands to (finally) get the two idiots together.
Post Pain-Arc | Canon Divergence | Jealous (!) Naruto | Ao3
Tumblr media
“You look cute today,” Kiba said nonchalantly to his teammate as she walked towards him. 
The Hyuga beauty had uncharacteristically pulled her hair up onto the top of her head in a high ponytail, her delicate features now on display for the world to see.
Hinata, already used to Kiba’s compliments, didn’t bat an eye when he said it, she simply responded, “Thank you! I just wanted to try something a little different,” She patted Akamaru’s head in greeting, the gentle giant licking her palm as she giggled.
Kiba took the opportunity to sneak up behind her and pull on her ponytail slightly, wanting to fix the slight hairs that were sticking out. He adjusted the simple lavender tie she had placed upon the top of it for good measure as well. 
Had anyone happened upon the pair, they probably would have thought there was more between them than a simple friendship, but they were used to it. Hinata didn’t even try to push him off, she simply let him fix her hair and looked up at him with a thankful smile when he was finished.
They were meeting up to have lunch, a much needed distraction after all the chaos that had ensued in the village during Pain’s attack. Unfortunately Shino was unable to join the pair for a well-deserved day off, leaving them to their own devices.
Kiba nodded as he stepped back and appreciated his work, “I like it. I’m sure Naruto will too,” He smirked.
She exhaled, her cheeks red and splotchy, “We’re not going to let it go, are we?”
“Hinata, you confessed to him.”
“It was in the middle of battle...spur of the moment,” She tried, suddenly regretting admitting to Kiba and Shino that she had, in fact, told the love of her life, Naruto Uzumaki, her true feelings for him. She knew they’d never let it go, not until Naruto gave her an answer either way. 
She just wasn’t ready to hear what he had to say. Even if he was ready to face what she had said to him head-on, “Besides,” she mumbled, “he didn’t even acknowledge it...”
“You told him you loved him...you literally died for him. How could the idiot not see it?”
She shrugged pathetically, “It is what it is, don’t worry, Kiba.”
He sighed and stuffed his hands in his pockets when suddenly it hit him. An idea so genius, even Shino had to approve. Akamaru, sensing that Kiba was about to say something Shino would in fact not approve of, whined and hit his master gently on his leg with his paw. 
Kiba ignored him, knowing that what he had in mind was just too perfect not to share, “Hinata?”
“Yes?”
“What if...what if we made Naruto jealous? Just to make him see what he’s missing.”
“W-what?”
“It’s the oldest trick in the book, Hyuga,” He took her hand into his as if he had done it millions of times before, “We go on a fake date, act all cute and shit, and when he sees us together he’ll magically realize his feelings for you. You know, because someone else has what he thought was his and all that bullshit?”
“You’re insane.”
“I know what boys are like, Hinata.”
She looked down at their interlaced fingers and sighed, “You’re sure this will work?”
“If it doesn’t, I’ll pay for lunch.”
“And dessert?”
“As many cinnamon rolls as your heart desires.”
Hinata exhaled and nodded, “Alright. I mean, there’s nothing left to lose, right?”
“That’s the spirit!” 
Kiba led Hinata forward, Akamaru following close behind. He was sure his plan was going to work, after all, he barely had enough to cover his portion of lunch. That alone should have proved how confident Kiba was that he’d get Naruto and Hinata to finally acknowledge their feelings for each other. 
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Okay, just follow my lead,” Kiba said as he spotted Naruto at his usual stool at Ichiraku. 
“Naruto! How are you? Healing up okay?” Kiba asked as he sat down next to the blonde, his hand still in Hinata’s.
Naruto squinted at them, tilting his head, “I-I’m fine. Thanks for asking...”
“That’s good to hear, we all deserve some time off after that mess, right Hinata?”
Hinata didn’t dare meet Naruto’s gaze, simply nodded and pretended as if he wasn’t even there. 
“Two bowls of pork miso ramen, please!” Akamaru barked and Kiba smiled down at him, “Oh right, it’s a special occasion. Make that three bowls!”
“Special occasion?” Naruto asked.
“Nothing you have to worry about, just celebrating a certain someone saying yes to a question I asked,” He said, looking at Hinata.
Naruto’s cheeks grew redder by the second as he studied them, “W-what?”
“I asked Hinata to be my girlfriend,” Kiba said, holding up her hand in his, “And she said yes.” He roughly pulled her into his embrace and pressed his cheek to hers, “Isn’t it great?”
Akamaru groaned behind the three, trying to ignore what was happening before him. It was getting a little too painful to watch. Kiba had never been known for his tact after all.
“So you two...are...dating?”
Hinata tried to interject, feeling sick over everything that was unfolding, “N-no we-” 
Kiba quickly slapped a hand over Hinata’s mouth and laughed, “Yeah! I confessed to her right after we got back to the village. I mean, it just seemed to be the right time and all, considering everything that happened.”
Naruto let out a breath and instead of continuing the conversation further, he flagged down Teuchi, “Old man, how much do I owe you?”
Teuchi quickly put up a hand and waved Naruto off, “Oh, no, we could never charge the village hero. Not after everything. Consider it on the house.”
Naruto nodded solemnly, gave a glance Kiba and Hinata’s way, and quickly turned to leave.
“Kiba!” Hinata said in a panic, “That definitely couldn’t have been a part of your plan!”
Kiba huffed, “Yeah...I didn’t think he’d just walk away like that. Maybe we need to try a different-”
Hinata ignored Kiba and decided to take matters into her own hands, what she should have done in the first place, really.
She got up from her seat, a flustered mess, and chased after Naruto. She screamed out without thinking, “Naruto-Kun!”
His head turned immediately towards her, his brow furrowed in confusion, “Hinata?”
“Naruto-” She panted, attempting to catch her breath as she caught up to him. 
“What are you doing? Aren’t you on...” He took a breath as he stuffed his hands in his pockets, a pout playing upon his lips, “Aren’t you on a date with your boyfriend?”
“He’s not my boyfriend!” She yelled out, a little too passionately.
Naruto stifled a laugh at how ridiculously cute she looked. Her ponytail was slightly askew, her cheeks flushed and her lips ridiculously red from her biting her bottom lip. He had been biding his time since he had returned from the village, waiting to approach Hinata and talk about everything that had happened. About what she had said to him.
“Then why did he...”
Hinata sighed, so clearly embarrassed for going along with it. But...she quickly realized that Naruto was...jealous? She could see it in his eyes, the way he acted back at Ichiraku. He was clearly bothered by what had happened. Kiba was actually...right.
So she gathered her courage and firmly asked, “Why do you care?”
“Huh?”
“Whether or not Kiba and I are dating....why do you care?”
Naruto furrowed his brow, “I don’t, I-I just,” He groaned, “Hinata, it doesn’t matter.”
“It does matter!”
“Why!?”
“I told you I loved you!”
Naruto looked at her wide-eyed, clearly in shock. Of course he knew she had confessed her feelings, but...they were also in the middle of a battle. He thought that...that maybe it wasn’t true. It was an adrenaline-fueled confession that she would walk back the moment they got back. That maybe...maybe she meant she loved him like she loved her teammates. That he was her precious friend, just as Sakura and Sasuke were his. He never imagined in his wildest dreams that the girl he’d always taken notice of always wanted to protect had been watching him too. That he’d grow to want to take care of her, to ensure she was okay. He didn’t know what that meant then, but he did now.
He didn’t understand his feelings until that day, in the midst of battle, and it killed him to think it took them nearly dying for him to comprehend that what he felt for her was far greater than friendship. 
“I-I know...” He managed to mutter, “It was just such a crazy day, Hinata. I thought that maybe I misheard you, or that you didn’t mean it in the way you did. I didn’t want to embarrass you by bringing it up again. I mean...we haven’t even talked since we got back.”
“Then let’s talk,” She said, looking down and shyly placing a strand of hair behind her ear.
“I-I’d like that.”
“Yeah?”
Naruto grabbed the same hand Kiba had intertwined in his earlier, and claimed it as his, protectively interlacing his fingers in hers and squeezing her hand for good measure. 
It wasn’t like with Kiba at all, Hinata realized. Her heartbeat was out of time, her knees felt weak. Feeling Naruto under her touch was nearly too much for her to handle.
“Oh..um...” Naruto blushed as he met her gaze, “I really like your hair up, you know?”
“O-oh,” She smiled as she looked away, unable to look at him head on.
“It’s really cute.”
“T-thank you.”
He chuckled, “Yeah, of course. Um, why don’t we go get something sweet, yeah? We can talk at the tea shop?”
“Okay.”
The pair, hands still intertwined, walked toward the tea shop, a blush upon each of their faces.
Kiba, watching from outside Ichiraku, smiled to himself as he said to Akamaru, “See boy, it all went exactly as I said it would. Didn’t it? Next thing you know, we’ll be helping Hinata pick out a wedding dress.”
Akamaru rolled his eyes and continued eating from the offered bowl of ramen. It was better to let Kiba think he had won this round.
“Ah, first love,” Kiba sighed dreamily as he sat back down on his stool, “I can’t wait to see it all play out.”

I'm having a super terrible week so do you mind sharing some cute hcs about Okami and Kiba, how they got together, some cute romantic stuff if you have the mood and time? 🥺
(How many times Hana teased her because she smelled like Kiba, and how fast did the entire village acquire this very important information the first time it happened 😏 and Katsura racepalming ofc)
I’m sorry your weeks been bad 😔
Here’s some Okami and Kiba HCs, I hope they cheer you up a little 🖤
Okami has always looked up to Hana. She’s smart, funny, and has her dream job, medical ninja vet??? Sign her up.
Kiba is one of the people that call her O more than Okami because he too knows the ninken she’s named after that that’s just weird… they do kind of look like if you ask him.
Despite Okami’s free spirit like ways, the girl is a scientific genius. She just doesn’t flex it without cause but will assist others if they need help.
She made a “super snack” (dietary supplement/vitamin for ninken) that helps with speed. Upside, dogs LOVE it, will tackle her for them on the streets. Down side, hyperactive dogs. She’s still working out the formula.
Kiba tells her not to give Akamaru that “weird shit” or put bows on him… she does both anyways 🤭
She also loves teasing Kiba, but can’t take much of it back.
So imagine her horror when Hana, someone she idolizes, mistakes her for Kiba by her scent (to be fair, she thought it was both of them).
She’s a terrible liar and her panicked explanation that made no sense made it pretty clear what happened.
Thankfully Hana promised her secret was safe with her.
But also told her it wouldn’t be the same if their mother finds out
New fear unlocked and hygienic routine gained.
Did this stop her? No. Did Katsura find out? Yes, because Okami told her in full DETAIL exactly what they did.
As for romance, Okami is all about nicknames; babe, sexy, handsome, puppy, etc.
Kiba loves them all expect Puppy in public. That’s a them only nickname.
That couple that will do PDA almost anywhere.
If one of them has a love bite, so does the other. Sort of an unspoken rule between the two of them.
Lots of play fighting with these two
Kiba got her a stuffie that looked like her fallen ninken
And Okami treasures it 😭
Lots of moonlit strolls when they both have days off that align.
Kiba even got Shino to have fireflies gather for one of them
Skinny dipping also happens on these outings
Okami will hose Kiba off in the yard if he’s to smelly from training. Which usually leads to them just goofing off in the water because they’re both childish at times

Boruto 215
This new episode apparently added some scenes with the old gen to spice up the manga content. I know I should be grateful, but you guys: they did everyone so dirty. I'm laugh-crying.
So everybody is freaking out because Isshiki is coming to possess Kawaki and reincarnate. Sai tells Naruto he has a super secret place to hide Kawaki. A place known only to the head of Anbu. A place even an alien god's Byakugan couldn't find.
Tumblr media
THEY SHALL HIDE BEHIND A DOOR COVERED IN POST-IT NOTES. (I know those are seals but still.)
Above ground, all the active-duty adult ninja gather to receive marching orders. They may not be sannin like Naruto or Sasuke or Sakura (who doesn't show up the entire episode, btw), but surely the tactical genius Shikamaru has a plan to tip the scales in their favor.
Tumblr media
He has no plan. But everyone is a good sport, saying they can band together and figure things out as they go.
Then Ino uses her psychic intercom to tell everyone that the guest of dishonor is here, and he is not wearing shoes. His pedicure is on point though.
Tumblr media
The genius Shikamaru does not send any Hyuuga to help against the Byakugan wielder. He doesn't send any Aburame either, although their ability to control venomous bugs would be the perfect counter to the Sukunahikona, since lsshiki can't zap living beings to his pocket dimension, and the rinkaichu literally fight on a microscopic level. I'm not saying Hanabi or Shino could have beaten an Otsutsuki, but damn they would have been helpful.
So how does "figuring things out as we go" pan out? Well, since they weren't given any plan, Konoha's top five fighters come up with the brilliant idea to attack the alien from the same direction. Because god forbid any of the village's top ninja try a sneak attack.
Tumblr media
They all get knocked out in one hit. Konohamaru manages to stand up and try again, and Isshiki tries to kill him with an anvil-type thing to add insult to injury. Luckily everyone survives, but damn, they all really got the fodder treatment.
Oh, and apparently Sasuke's master plan to defeat the alien was to throw a child at it. Naruto was not pleased.

Training Partners
Dedicated to @pain-somnia and @unassailablewizard I hope both of you guys like it!
Setting: An everybody lives AU.
...
1 month. She only had 1 month to prepare for the fourth round of the chunin exams. Sakura never felt so accomplished in her life. She, like Naruto and Sasuke all passed the written tests, came out alive from the Forest of Death, and won their matches. Sasuke easily defeating a Sound ninja, Naruto beating Kiba, and Sakura by escaping the mind transfer technique Ino casted on her. She counted herself lucky to beat her best friend and rival. It turned out that those sparring sessions with Izumi-senpai paid off.
Her inner victory got shattered when she learned who her opponent for the final round would be, Neji Hyuga. At the revelation of that, Naruto urged her to drop out which angered her greatly and was this close to beat him up until his father, the Fourth Hokage scolded him for discouraging her. Sasuke's words on the other hand, made her feel giddy. "I don't see why you're worried Naruto, Sakura's very sharp, I'm sure she'll figure out a way to outsmart Hyuga." He confidently tells him. "If I were you, I'd start training really soon considering who your opponent is." He was referring to Shino, and at that, Naruto's face turned green at the thought of being exposed to a 1,000,000 insects.
"Likewise Sasuke, along with your mother, I will also be training you" Kakashi intervened, and then turns to Sakura, smiling underneath his mask "you as well Sakura." Sakura's eyes widened at hearing that.
"Hey no fair sensei!" Naruto whines at feeling left out.
"Now, now, Naruto I will only be teaching Sasuke a new jutsu that can help him win against Gaara, every thing else he'll do with his mother and possibly with Itachi and Shisui." He explains to his sensei's son.
"As for Sakura, since she doesn't come from a family of trained shinobi, it is only befitting that I be the one to train her. After all she is up against my rival's genius student."
"Oh alright sensei, you win." He pouts, knowing that there's no way to change Kakashi's mind.
After Kakashi left, Sasuke notices Sakura looking very pale as if she awakened from a gruesome genjutsu.
He walks up to her, and lightly taps her shoulder, "Hey, you shouldn't worry too much. The more you worry the less you'll be able to unleash your full potential."
"That's easy for you to say Sasuke-kun, you were named rookie of the year, and you know my stamina can't be increased in just one month." She shyly plays with her newly chopped short hair.
"How about...we train together." He suggests with a tiny blush forming on his face. He tells himself that it's only to be a good teammate to her, after all she practically fought to death for him and Naruto at the Forest of Death.
"Are you sure? I don't want to hold you back on your own training."
Trust Sakura to be so annoying, sighing he says "Yes Sakura I'm sure. We'll start today at sunset. Don't be late." He quickly walks away from her before she sees the redness forming on the apples of his cheeks.
...
In case any of you are wondering, Sasuke's mother in canon was a Jonin ninja.

heres itachi being an awful teacher to team 8 again
[minatos alive n hokage btw]
minato: so.... itachi. i dont know how to tell you this, so let me be direct. i have, um. ive received some complaints about your teaching methods
itachi: [honestly surprised] what. how.. what happened. did i do something wrong
minato: listen, itachi. ill tell you what. why dont we think about all of your previous teachers n how they used to teach things
itachi, a child prodigy n genius: they.... i'm sorry but i dont think they ever taught me anything
minato: ...
minato: ok, first id just like to say that im sure youre doing your best. however. ive heard your classes can become rather...... philosophical
itachi: yes?
minato: [sigh] itachi. is it true that when hinata said she thought she was doing a fighting stance wrong you told her to "not worry herself" because "wrong and right are merely human constructs according to which we organize our moral system"
itachi: yes. why? do you disagree
minato: n- im - thats not the point. when kiba asked you if you thought he would be good with genjutsu you just said "to find yourself, look within yourself. think for thyself"?
itachi: oh that one helped me a lot through life actually
minato: OK. ok. just.... one more. when all of them, including shino, expressed their wishes for you to actually teach them more things, you said "i cannot teach anybody anything, i can only make them think"???????

Uh... the house being dirty never stopped you from letting me go inside before. [Sighs as she opens the door to the bathhouse, fully aware that she's not going to get any more information out of Sofia] Anyway, nothing new has been going on with me. I just came back from staying at Phillip's place for a few days, so I'm really just catching up on work.
[Scampers inside of the bathhouse behind her friend, offering a cheerful wave to Shino and Sakuya as the two make their way to the baths.] Oh really? [Hums in curiosity, blatantly ignoring the first part of Raven’s statement.]
How are things with you and him by the way? You always seem so sad whenever he’s in town! [You’re playing with fire here Sofia. She knew that, but she couldn’t help from poking some gossip from her friend none the less. And if she acts like she doesn’t know how things are going, Raven will never suspect a thing. Genius.]
Plus I see the way he looks at you when you two are together, seems like he really can’t stand you ♥.
