Naruto Nostalgia

would also explain why kakashi looked high during their first c-rank
...and made such...questionable decisions

 

so i'm rewatching the sasuke retrieval arc, which i LOVED when i was a middle schooler--i watched so many angsty amvs about the squad fightin through the pain

on the rewatch i think kiba's fight is my favorite? like, lil dog boy has a piss-based strategy. incredible. incredible!! sakon gets peed on TWICE. can't come back from that.

 

Consider: AU with Maito Gai as the academy's taijutsu sensei. The genin coming out would be so scary

How am I supposed to help when you've inflicted this on me and one shot me in the process

 

who are those people

 

The McElroy Brothers
Temari is Justin, Kankuro is Travis, Griffin is Gaara

 

There are some real characterization decisions made in this and I'm not sure I disagree with any of them

 

It might just be age order. Temari is the oldest, Kankuro is the middlest, and Gaara is the sweet baby brother.

 

To this day I still sit down and think about Waves Arc and sigh wistfully
