Hey y'all! Well, I decided to make a thread for precious baby boy Shina-chan (I know you don't like being called that, but you're too cute *squeezes cheeks*)! If any of you don't know, in an interview years ago, Kishimoto was asked if Naruto would have any children, and Kishimoto said he might have a son, and that if he did he would most likely call him "Shinachiku." Shinachiku, like Naruto and Menma, is a ramen topping. It is a condiment made from dried bamboo strips and is synonymous with Menma. Well, since Naruto has ended, the NaruSaku fandom has never forgotten that comment, and so, we have adopted precious Shinachiku as our fandom's NaruSaku baby! If you go to tumblr, you'll find all sorts of things about him. Here is where we can talk about him, love him, cry about him, and create headcanons for him! I hope you love him as much as I do! Here are some headcanons, drawings, and gifs about him to get you all started <3
The basics:
Shinachiku was born on May 30, when Sakura was 25 and Naruto was 24. He is a sweet boy with blonde hair like his dad and green eyes like his mom. He's full of energy and love, and is rambunctious and loves to pull pranks, like his father did when he was his age. In spite of that, he is actually quite sensitive. He adores both of his parents, as both of them take lots of time to spend with him. While he's quite similar to his father in personality, he's more like his mother when it comes to studying in school. He does really well in class, and as he gets older he discovers he has a passion for medical ninjutsu. He uses the catch phrases "Dattebaro!" and "Shannebayo!" interchangeably, both of them mixtures of his parent's phrases "Shannaro!" and "Dattebayo!"

Heacanons:
Naruto’s hokage cloak always end up getting dirty because Shinachiku loves to run around the house wearing it and pretending to be a cool Hokage like his dad. So Sakura makes a smaller cloak that look just like Naruto’s for him. He is so happy and every time they went to play at the playground he will wear that cloak and says “I AM YOUR HOKAGE! CALL ME HOKAGE-SAMA ‘ttebaro!” to the other kids.

Shinachiku has a ramen obsession like his daddy and Sakura now has to make a ramen budget.

Shinachiku begged Sakura for a puppy to take care of and when Sakura said no he ran to his father to help him convice Sakura. after Naruto and Shinachiku pleaded with Sakura and after they flashed their puppy eyes, Sakura finally gave in and let Shinachiku have a puppy.

"Shinachiku is a very cute and bright boy. He goes to Sakura’s medical office or Naruto’s hokage office right after school and tell them about the things he learned in class. They smile and ruffle his hair or kiss his head, and tell him how proud they are of him.
He sometimes sits down on Naruto/Sakura’s lap, or fiddles with things and asks a bunch of questions on just about anything, especially on stories when they were field shinobi.
Shinachiku’s favorite so far is of a blond hyperactive knuckleheaded boy who made a promise of a lifetime to a brilliant and beautiful pink haired girl out of pure love. He really likes that one.
He also likes it when his parents look at the clock and give him a wink and get out of work early or take a break so they can go get the other spouse from their work ((Naruto likes to make funny faces with Shinachiku from the window of Sakura’s office until she notices them)) and spend time together as a family."

Can I just say that I can imagine Shikachiku and Naruto playing pirate in Shikachi’s room, on his bed acting like the ground was the sea and had monsters in it, him as the captain and Naruto as a crew member. “Hoist the sails, Shanabayo!” “Aye aye Cap’n ttebayo!”
And Sakura would be like. “Like father like son.”

4 year old Shinachiku see his parents’ wedding photos for the first time and bursts into tears because he wasn’t there to see the wedding..(lol) After numerous failed attempts to console him, Naruto & Sakura decide to re-enact the entire ceremony just for him, leading to both Naruto & Shinachiku tearing up when Sakura steps out in her old wedding dress…

Quotes about Shinachiku from non-NS shippers:
"I just really wanted to tell someone... I've been thinking, and I finally understand why I, as a non-NS shipper, like Shinachiku so much. It's because I feel like "this child will be loved." By his parents, his grandparents, his aunts and uncles, his great grandma. All the ones that couldn't be there. The "king" everyone fought for, the happiness of the next generation, comes to life in him."

"*crawls out of the NaruSasu fandom to bring you a message* *winks, as she is slowly pulled back into the hole by hundreds of claws* LET ME TELL YOU ONE LAST THING, SHINACHIKU IS HELLA CUTE~"

"I've never been a fan of NaruSaku, I never hated it but I never loved it but with this ending I was actually very disappointed because they just seemed so perfect for each other! As a SasuHina fan I knew my ship was never going to become canon but its crazy to me that your guys didn't! Your picture of the precious NaruSaku child is beautiful and keep going strong because your ship is beautiful and you guys deserved so much more than you guys go! Don't let that haters get to you!(:"

"LOL I don't ship NaruSaku since I'm a fan of NaruHina, but lately with your posts of NaruSaku's son, I've slightly started to ship NaruSaku and it's made my day kinda better! Thanks! XD"
