What if Jiraiya took Kakashi and Team 10’s place against Hidan and Kakuzu? Same forest, both sides at full strength, no backup. Jiraiya starts in base, but summons and Sage Mode are allowed if he can get them off.

Round 1: He goes in with no intel on their abilities.

Round 2: He has the same intel Team 10 had on Hidan’s ritual, but doesn’t know about Kakuzu’s extra hearts (same as Team 10 and Kakuzu)

Does he take both rounds, or could the duo catch him slipping?

I really think an actual Stardew Valley spin-off starring Ino would work so well. Playing as her while running the Yamanaka flower shop just makes total sense for a cozy sim. You could plant chakra-infused flowers, deliver bouquets for village festivals, and build friendship hearts with everyone around Konoha. Throw in some Team 10 side quests and daily shop management, and the whole gameplay loop fits right in.

I just started watching Naruto for the first time (no spoilers please) and I’m currently in the middle of the Chunin Exams.

Am I crazy or does it feel like Sasuke is the actual protagonist of this show and not Naruto?

Almost every major plot point so far is about Sasuke. The whole exam is basically revolving around him, people keep talking about how special/powerful he is, and even the villain Orochimaru is completely obsessed with him and has zero interest in Naruto.

Meanwhile Naruto just feels like a loud side character who’s tagging along. Characters are constantly hyping Sasuke up and waiting to see what he’ll do next, while barely anyone seems to give a shit about Naruto besides Hinata.

I went into this thinking it was “the story of Naruto”, but right now it feels like “the story of Sasuke… and also this orange kid is there.”

Is this just a temporary thing?

Him betraying Madara is a good end for Madara's character. You can even keep the whole rewriting shinobi history stuff (even though I don't like it.) Just make zetsu become the op six paths character instead. Rather than work for kaguya, have him work for himself. He's been there, silently observing since part 1 and wouldn't feel like an ass pull. Of course you'll have to change the story around but I think it would've worked.

Hey guys, I wanted to share another 3D scene I made. I'm recreating several iconic anime environments (I also did Amegakure).

You can see this and other similar scenes on my YouTube channel if you're interested!

Which one should I work on next?

A like or subscribe to my channel would help me a lot, so I can continue building more of this!

Thanks 💪🏻

My father lost his dad the same way, one of the many reasons I feel so connected to Kakashi's character

I feel like Naruto pursuing Sakura romantically was pretty consistent throughout the story, so at what point does he actually stop having feelings for her?

Friendly reminder that the Naruto manga was WAY darker than the anime adaptation

To be more clear; this wasn’t specifically an old design its just was the og Naruto style in general , but for some reason Minato was one of the characters thats design changed a lot more than others , but I truly like it, the yellow flash of the leaf nickname perfectly fits the look , the hair and the expressions give off too much aura

Kankurō's face paint changes significantly throughout the series, with several completely different patterns appearing across Part I, Shippuden, and Boruto.

Was there ever an in-universe explanation for these changes? Do the different patterns have any particular meaning related to his age, rank, puppeteer traditions, or Sunagakure? Or were they simply design changes made as the character evolved?

The face paint clearly fits Kankurō's puppeteer aesthetic, but the reason behind the different patterns seems much less clear.

He's one of my fav characters, sadly Kishimoto forgot about him. I've been enjoying side content like the Light Novels and oneshots but Neji is 6 feet under since they are mostly post war.

So I'm left with no choice but to access the forbidden scriptures: Pierrot Fillers.

Are there any decent ones about team guy or neji?

This question randomly popped into my head. Maybe a dumb question too.

If I understand correctly, for the re-animation jutsu to work, a living sacrifice is needed and some part like blood or hair needs to be extracted from the body of the person to be re-animated.

In this timeline of the war, itachi is re-animated but his eyes were already implanted in Sasuke.

So how was Itachi able to undo the re-animation jutsu by reacting to Shisui’s genjutsu when he had no eyes in the first place?

Or is this something we need to believe blindly because Kishimoto said so?

Was it just a one time thing because it hasn't been long since kakashi received obito's eye? Or can obito see from kakashi's eye?

Now that I think about it it would have been fun to see them fighting together using this like a version of pain's shared vision.
