Their last night together…

Going feral over the blue hair, thank you Mr. Jon

Today i finished watching Naruto! And i found this gem in the ending credits: one pure team Minato hug! 💜🧡🩶

The idea for a scene I was planning...

How it was supposed to be vs How it looked in my head

Meaningful Highlights from Kakashi Retsuden:

Minato catching Kakashi before he falls, the same way Kakashi always does for his students. And Kakashi, even at eight or nine years old, straight out of his father's funeral and before being his student, immediately relaxing when he runs into Minato: His feet tangled beneath him and he pitched forward. Into someone’s back. “You were really strong back there,” a voice told him, and he suddenly saw bright golden hair. He felt his breathing become a little easier. The Yellow Flash of Konoha. Namikaze Minato.

Kakashi describing his current feelings about his father: Now he felt proud from the bottom of his heart to have been born the child of the White Fang of Konoha.

Kakashi wanting to help the people of Redaku in a way that they can sustain themselves, even as he actually is providing a great deal of support through the process: The people of this country had to learn how to stand up and walk under their own strength. Give a starving person bread or teach them how to grow wheat. As Hokage, Kakashi had always chosen the latter.

Kakashi reflecting on his time as Sixth Hokage he eschewed tradition to build something that developed beyond shinobi: A never-ending peace. That was what Kakashi had sought as the Sixth Hokage. An orderly society that would go on and on even when he was not the Hokage, even when the day came when the role of Hokage disappeared. To create a framework so that they would never again fall into the quagmire of war.

The way Kakashi shows that he still views all of the former students taught by him and his friends in a parental and protective way: They had long since reached adulthood, and some were now parents while others were active on the front lines as shinobi. Even so, no matter how many years passed, to Kakashi, they were his precious students and the next generation who needed to be protected. Seeing them having so much fun was enough to ease his heart.

My favorite trio

The thing about Obito is that when his literal mask breaks.....he's still playing a part, but now the part he's playing IS Obito! Like hes literally trying to break Kakashi & Minato's (and by extension Naruto) spirit/hope and he thinks the quickest way is to show just how HORRIFICALLY they allegedly failed. So that speech, where hes all scorched earth and shit talking minato and fighting kakashi, isnt "madara." That isn't the character hes playing anymore. That is the meanest and rawest and most cuttingly pessimistic voice in Obito's head that he's almost always too dissociated to voice so directly, and is, quite honestly. the CLOSEST ACT TO HIS "REAL SELF" that we ever see until naruto slips into his mind.

So how, HOW am I suppopsed to watch *gestures at Obito's. everything just all of it* and then not get enough cognitive dissoncence to give me a migrane, when he tells Kakashi to be the Hokage? Are you kidding me? You want me to believe this bitch respects and trusts the usefulness of THE HOKAGE?? Obito "you're always too late when it matters most" uchiha? remember when he said he was glad his sensei fulfilled his dream and became hokage =) because now it's ruined the thought forever <3 <3 that's MY obito! The obito that summoned the nine tails ON RIN'S GRAVE would NOT! fucking! say that!!!

TEAM SEVEN AS HALLOWEEN MONSTERS

Chapiter 239: « Side Story: Mission Start »

Black to the narutovers !

Poor Sakura, thinking she's going to just be a ninja and that's the end of it, probably experience a bit of romance.

Unbeknownst to her she gets put on a team with three orphans who are constantly on the verge of dying and she has to try and stop them.

Kakashi: *Fighting for his life and using up all his chakra.*

Sakura: Kakashi-sensei, please we need to retreat!!

Naruto: *Grows two tails and starts biting people.*

Sakura: Naruto, no! What have I told you about biting people!?

Sasuke: *Already on the floor bleeding to death.*

Sakura: I'm twelve what the fuck.

HAVE A VERY NARUTO CHRISTMAS!!!

Team Minato Week 2023: Day 3: any AU

In this AU Obito suffers from severe hearing loss (after the kannabi mission). Kakashi and Rin learn sign language together with him. The image is heavily inspired by a beautiful one-shot "Signing" (by Kikuneesama). Go read it if you haven't 💛

(I used ASL instead of JSL simply because I know nothing about Japanese T_T and was afraid I'd make a mistake).

I'm sorry I'm late with my contribution 😶‍🌫️ @teamminatoweek

Here's the rest of Kenshi raising Naruto to warm my heart~
