First of all I wanna give @NaruSakuFaninKentucky for spreading the word out on Twitter/ X, but in case you guys dont know.

I have been temporarily suspended due apparent illegal crypto activity which is so bizarre because none of my banks have ever been associated with any of my social media accounts. Which honestly i dont really know when or if Ill return to that place considering how downhill its been going since the last couple years.

Considering that whole mess I would just say unfollow my account from Twitter / X because its just so ugh 🙄 it might be a weird blessing in disguise.

In the bright side though, it means for the foreseeable future, ill be sticking with BlueSky, Tumblr.

Also more importantly Ill be more active on here again. Which does make me super excited because Ive lately been feeling some sick of not being here in so long. 🥹

It's been a long time since I've been on here, and a lot of has just been me dealing with a lot of things IRL with work, and spending a lot of time  revising my book so that I could finally get to the point of seeking out a publisher by the end of the year, and hope to get things published by early to mid 2026. 

 

That and I've also been working towards building a new channel dedicated to CloTi (Cloud x Tifa) from Final Fantasy 7, and of course catching up on some for a lot of discussions I've been meaning practically since August.

 

That being where I was 10 years when I was 20  vs where  I am now at 30 yrs old (recently turned in January) is honestly quite different, and while Naruto as whole hasn't really been as huge on my radar for discussions especially for YouTube these days.   Though, come summer I'll be spending more time on continuing fanfic stories like The Tale of Sachiko Uzumaki, and A Blossoms in the Wind which I think many of you know is kinda like my own Kaika Saisei... Not necessarily the story itself, but in the sense that both fanfics come from a place of love and care.  

 

 

As for when in the summer they will return? 

 

Blossoms in the Wind will will return with Chapter 2  on May 10 2025

 

The Tale of Sachiko Uzumaki will return with Chapter 3 May 24 2025. 

 

 

 

I do still appreciate and love the conversations we have together be it Naruto,  movies, shows, games, real life, etc.   

 

and hope that everyone is having a fantastic day and a wonderful weekend. 

 
It's honestly crazy to think that 10 years I kick started this thread, and seeing the discussions still be carried on too this day just makes me so incredibly happy with how engaged you guys all have been for all those years.. Even though, I might've dipped out a after a certain period of time, I never stopped reading the manga because of what this meant for me.
 
Having said that, Looking back on how I started that initial post... I do have one confession to make and it has got to be the biggest oversight on my part.   That is this opening statement right here on November 20th 2014:
 
 

So for the past couple of days ever since Naruto ended, I've been trying to find a series to fill the void (aside from Bleach, Fairy Tail, and Attack on Titan). There needed to be a proper void to make things satisfying that it could take Naruto's place. So a couple weeks now, Ive came been keeping my eye on Weekly Shonen Jump's rankings, and I saw this manga get between #1 and 5 during those couple of weeks. 

 

 

 

 

I had actually started My Hero Academia prior to making this thread, it was August 25th 2014 which was a little over 3 months before Naruto came to an end. A lot of my attention at the time was on Naruto  as it was coming to an end so a lot of my personal investment was there, and My Hero Academia had fallen into the very back corner of my mind at the time especially around the conclusion of the Kaguya and leaning into the the Naruto vs Sasuke fight.

 

Then when it came to an end, Many of us were left in devestation and pure depression over what had transpired, and looking for that space to fill a void from what happened with Naruto. In fact I can even say that a lot of the other series I was into at the time I gave little to no importance especially for like newer shounen manga anime because of the legendary status Naruto had.  Due to that, I subconsciously forgot about My Hero Academia in that 3 month time span because of Naruto, and factoring dealing with being in my first year in College too... Grades were another huge factor that i swallowed into to distract myself from what happened with Naruto. 

 

 

Then comes the middle of November,  I came across My Hero Academia without having realized that I had actually read it before which kinda shows how badly Naruto's ending had devastated me personally that I had forgotten even when I had originally My Hero at all.

 

It actually took me until The Dark Hero Arc where I really sat on the direction of the series and a lot of what Deku was going through at the time.... How he had distanced himself from everyone. Ironically,  when I had my seizure for the first time back in May 2021 That was when I truly remembered where My own journey with this series happened before Naruto ended. 

 

So I do deeply apologize for the confusion on this everyone, and it probably doesn't mean much to anyone, but.... It was just a realization I've had for a while, and I wanted to bring that to light as the guy who kick started this thread. 

   

 

Now with that said, I can finally share my two cents.... Don't take this as review on whether the ending is good or bad.... Just tackling a few points that have been made..

 

This was originally conceived as a one shot  that I've had in the back of my mind for a very very long time, but then as I began typing again it made me realize that there was so much more  to tell here. 

 

 

 

 

 

Synopsis: The world is recovering from the devastation of The Fourth Great Ninja War, and Naruto enters a new phase in his life with new challenges ahead as he is accompanied by his teammate Sakura Haruno, and together a they grow and become even more in-sync as team.. Perhaps even on a deeper understanding beyond friendship.

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1 -  Next to You! : https://www.fanficti...oms-in-the-Wind

Off by a day. but  just wanna everyone a great and beautiful start to this amazing and wonderful new year! 

Kirisuna is so popular that it became DLC it an entirely separate series (Tales of Arise). Nobody but the most ardent Naruto fanboys gives a crap about Sasuke and Sakura (which is why the SS manga failed miserably).

 

 

The beautiful thing I love about Kirisuna is that that they didn't take the story waiting to become a couple... it happened during the very first arc of the series, and what's beautiful is seeing how Reki Kawahara (at least Post - Fairy Dance arc) focused on how their lives are after becoming a couple and its something  wish many other writers would do! 

 

 

Naruto fanboys are just too stuck in sand ignoring what writers do to execute a beautiful love story sub plot.

And I'm sorry, but there's no way that poll can ever taken seriously.  NaruHina and SasuSaku ranking higher than Twiyor and Kirisuna is an absolute joke.  Especially when even the series itself has taken cracks at NaruHina by pointing that Hinata is an incompetent mother by having Naruto insult her for abandoning their kids, to Toneri straight-out saying to Boruto that Hinata was a consolation prize for his father. 

 

 

Higher than Kirisuna??? What!! 

 

That's definitely a joke! 

Been a while since I was last here, but I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

 

 

 

NaLu (Natsu x Lucy) - Fairy Tail 

 

 

 

I've been very in-tuned with the Hiro Mashima spirit after the announcement of Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest anime and that also reignated a very slow burn love I've had with the Natsu and Lucy chemistry.  I may've mentioned it before, but initially I wasn't super big on Natsu x Lucy like many others because their designs felt very similar to Haru and Elie from Rave Master, but with that said, I really loved their chemistry and interactions.  Even though, it was mostly one-sided from Lucy in terms of showcasing romantic interest in Natsu.  Though, 100 Years Quest has really made me really made me apreciate the pairing too.   

Okay, I'm curious:  What moment are you referring to?

Its when shes crying when coming to realization about her feeling. The moment was so wholesome, but she hasnt told Rin as of yet in the manga.

Naruto Ninja Storm manages to have worse decisions than the manga, like this one here.

Sakura vs Sasuke?

I think that one was handled really well. it gave us a chance to see Sakura take on Sasuke unlike the anime and the manga.

 
Just more reinforcement when it comes to LuNa IMO. 

We are totally on the same page there my guy. Its amazing! 😁

The kind of thing you wish was relevant in storytelling, and its what I appreciate more about Nojima as a writer

That is word for word from the official novelization from Traces of Two Pasts!


But really Kishi shouldve took cues from FFVII in writing romance like how it was handled between CloTi.

 

 

 

 

Cloti (Cloud x Tifa) - Final Fantasy VII 

 

They are simply just perfect, and the chemistry just clicks instantly!
