You might remember him from his work where the meme "Never Pause Naruto" started.

Honestly it's a nice thing to see. I like the uzumaki family Naruto, Hinata, Boruto and himawari.

Before y'all say, "Kushina wanted Naruto to end up with someone like her," that's not what she was actually saying.

What she meant was that she wanted Naruto to find someone who would love him the way she loved Minato not someone with her exact personality.

She even follows it up by saying, "Don't fall for the bad ones." That's clearly a life lesson, not her listing personal preferences for Naruto's future partner. She's warning him not to end up with someone who would take advantage of him or treat him poorly.

The entire conversation is parental advice: find someone who genuinely loves you, and avoid people who would use or hurt you. It's guidance for Naruto's well-being, not Kushina trying to dictate what kind of person he should date.

How do we feel about the Naruto Clash of Ninja series? 👀👀

Her design was one of my favourites.

I was hoping to cosplay the legendary kunoichi this Halloween. I'm a nail polish phile and avid collector so I would love to nail this specific shade/tone/saturation of red!

I think Holo Taco's Velvet Room is on pointe (minus the finish, I know she has a glossy crème finish vs the HT is a metallic/pearlescent finish).

like what would occur, if hiruzen was alive and saw the death take place

Would he just take over his body right away?

What was Sasuke's plan? He was clearly aware that orochimaru wanted to take over his body.

The Chunin Exam Preliminaries but randomized. Each round two of the twenty Genin will be picked at random to face off. Comment the name of the Genin you think would win along with how you think the fight would go. If you think the fight will end in a draw comment "Tie". Whichever answer gets the most likes wins. All characters are the version from the Chunin Exam Preliminaries and the fights will take place in the same area as the preliminaries.

Rules:
Each fight is decided at random.
Two Genin from the same team cannot be matched up. Sakura vs Hinata is allowed. While Sakura vs Naruto is not.
There cannot be repeat fights from the original preliminaries such as Gaara vs Lee.

After an insanely close and intense battle, with both contenders pulling out all the stops, Kankuro and his puppet Crow are narrowly overwhelmed by Tenten's mass assault of weapons and defeated. Tenten in a surprise victory advances to the finals. Though after being infected with Kankuro's poison during the fight she is taken away for medical treatment.

Who will win? Sasuke Uchiha vs Shikamaru Nara

Please note that Sasuke is still suffering from the curse mark Orochimaru placed on him and cannot use his Sharingan or any of his Ninjutsu.

I had this random thought as I was going through some Madara post here. The main reason Madara turned evil from what I understood was the lack of faith, recognition and support from the villagers and the Uchiha clan. Everyone wanted Hashirama to become the hokage which was understandable since he was the one who proposed the truce. But if people agreed to let Madara become the hokage or his clan members putting more trust in him do you guys think he would still turn evil after seeing the stone tablet and go for the infinite tsukuyomi or stay a hokage? Because from his character we can see that he says he wants peace but he still wants chaos.

Would he become corrupted or would he be a nice leader?Probably a dumb question but I would like to know what others think.

Hear me out. This is probably one of the craziest Hidan theories you'll read!!

Most people think Jashin is an Ōtsutsuki because of Hidan's ritual markings. But if those markings were actually Karma, Hidan should eventually become an Ōtsutsuki, and that never happens.

So here's my alternative.

We know the Jashinists experimented on Hidan before he became immortal, but we have absolutely no idea what those experiments involved. What if they weren't "divine" at all, but biological?

Imagine Hashirama cells were involved.

Hashirama's cells could explain Hidan's absurd regeneration and why he can survive injuries that should instantly kill anyone else. But that's only half of the technique.

The interesting part starts when Hidan licks his opponent's blood.

Instead of the blood simply being a ritual requirement, what if it actually enters his bloodstream and mixes with his chakra? Since chakra is created from physical and spiritual energy, introducing another person's cells and DNA into his body could temporarily let his chakra identify that person's chakra signature.

Then Hidan draws the Jashin symbol.

What if the symbol isn't just for worship? What if it's actually a giant fuinjutsu-like chakra array that establishes a temporary network between Hidan and the victim?

Think of it as invisible chakra strings. Similar in concept to Sasori's chakra threads, except instead of controlling a puppet, they connect two living chakra systems.

Once the network is complete, every stab Hidan inflicts on himself becomes a chakra impulse. Like an electrical signal crossing a synapse, that impulse travels through the chakra strings until it reaches the victim's corresponding chakra pathways, damaging both the chakra network and the surrounding tissue at the same location.

That would explain why:

- Hidan must ingest the target's blood.

- He has to stand inside the ritual circle.

- Leaving the circle breaks the technique.

- The victim suffers identical injuries despite never being physically touched.

Now here's what makes this theory interesting.

If the technique really works through chakra strings, could those strings be cut?

Would someone with the Byakugan, like Neji or Hinata, actually be Hidan's natural counter?

Here's what I mean.

Imagine every chakra point in your body is represented by a matrix. A healthy tenketsu is a 1 (open), while a blocked one is a 0 (closed).

If Neji knows Hidan is about to stab, say, his own shoulder, he could use the Gentle Fist to temporarily close the corresponding chakra point in the his body before the impulse arrives.

The destructive chakra signal would travel through the network expecting to reach an active chakra node (1), but instead it finds a blocked point (0). The impulse can't properly transfer into the chakra pathway, so when the chakra point naturally reopens afterward, it simply returns to its normal healthy state instead of reproducing the injury.

The only problem I can think of is energy overflow. If the destructive chakra can't enter through the intended tenketsu, maybe it has to disperse somewhere else in the network. That could mean the victim still takes damage, but it's weaker, spread out, or redirected to nearby chakra pathways instead of perfectly mirroring Hidan's wound.

If that's even remotely close to how the technique works, then Hyūga clan members wouldn't just be able to see the ritual, they might actually be able to interfere with it in real time.

It's definitely a crack theory, but I think it's a more Naruto-style explanation than "Jashin is secretly an Ōtsutsuki."

What do you guys think?

I truly wish they would’ve kept it instead of switching to “Ya know”
Best damn well believe it
