dumb-naruto-headcanons

I need somewhere to throw up the version of Naruto I write in my head. At first I respected canon but then I decided to throw it to the garbage.

[dumb-naruto-headcanons]

So I drew how I imagine older Naruto after I decided to not give a fuck about canon. I used to be like "oh I need to respect canon", "Naruto can't not wear orange", "Naruto HAS to have those whiskers", "Naruto is not supposed to be hot". But THEN. I saw how Boruto looked. Now I usually refuse to even acknowledge Boruto's existence and avoid anything remotely related to it, but against my will I came across some images and to my horror, realized that he looked cool. They had the nerve to make that spin-off wannabe look cool after 20 years of Naruto looking like an orange monstruosity who transformed in a onesie-wearing lightbulb for battle.

That was IT. After that I was like "hell with canon". I let my imagination loose and changed the entire story and character designs. What's gonna happen? The Naruto police will get me? I'm tired of hiding my embarrasing Naruto obsession and the delusional version of it I made up in my head for years, I need to put it somewhere

Next up is adult Hinata. Those awful bangs need to go.

I made an OC as Shikamaru's wife. I don't hate shilatema, but as I've said in a previous post, the idea of Temari giving up literally everything in her life to become a housewife really bothers me. And when you say stuff like that people go "oh you're so sexist hating on housewives" but my issue is not with housewives, it's with a male author who clearly just throws female characters in that position when he can't be bothered to think of an actual purpose for them.

Maybe the people crying about those of us who criticize female characters getting thrown into being nothing but an extension of their husbands and calling us woman-haters should redirect that energy to demand actual housewife characters who are also smart and strong and important. Think of Catelyn from ASOIAF, she's "just" a mother and wife, yet she's one of the main character, she's complex, flawed, smart, strong, and she moved the plot forward. She didn't need fighting or magical powers or some grand position, she was simply a well written character.

So as a delusional Naruto headcanoner (?), I'll try to make my contribution. So I made her. A traditional housewife who I imagine being an intelligent and strong woman. Not a woman who had to give up her dreams for her husband but someone who simply enjoys to take care of the house and family. I imagine her liking to cook and handling the family finances (which is a job a lot of housewives do without recognition). I also imagine her often managing the Nara clan even if she's not the leader since Shikamaru is too busy. As for her plot relevance, my brain is fried and I can't think of anything but one day I will. I don't claim to make a well written character since I'm just a dumbass making shit up but I do what I can. Unlike some other people whose entire job is literally to write.

Sorry. Rant over.

Young adult Naruto with his genin team.

I have no names for them but I do have some headcanons.

The boy I see using the double blade style I imagine Naruto using, mixed with wind release to extend the range. He's based off of Gintoki from Gintama so I picture him having a similar personality.

The short haired girl in the back is the quiet genius one, I want the quiet genius to be a girl. Loosely based on Tsukuyo. I imagine her learning the flying thunder god technique and all sort of space time ninjutsu. I don't think Naruto can use those techniques but he has access to scrolls that explain it and he gave them to her when he realized she was so talented.

The girl in the middle is an Uzumaki. She's really strong physically and can use those chakra chains thingies. And one day she will be able to use senjutsu. She's also a dumbass. I like the dumbass one being a girl too. And she's inspired by Kagura who's dumb as a brick but also very valuable and lovable.

And the three of them would eventually learn the rasengan, sealing techniques and at least one nature style because I like to think that Naruto is a good teacher who covered some basis with the three of them and then differentiated their training based on their particular talents.

Just a random, crappy drawing of my version of naruhina.

I think I got most of my headcanons out of my system for now. I want to make more detailed and not-so-crappy drawings one day but I'm waiting for the motivation to hit.

I want justice for the older ladies in Naruto

[dumb-naruto-headcanons]

Leaders of the Leaf Village and Sound Village discussing important matters. But I made the table too small and it looks like a date... 🤷🏻‍♀️

I headcanon that Hinata paints as a hobby and is good, but makes extremely creepy and disturbing art. The girl has some dark stuff hidden deep in her brain.

[dumb-naruto-headcanons]

The adult Hinata redesign that's been on my mind lately

[dumb-naruto-headcanons]

I'm sorry I keep drawing a stubble on naruto instead of the whiskers but I'm actually not sorry because I like it

[dumb-naruto-headcanons]

I headcanon Tsunade using wood release.

Also, I'm way too lazy to even attempt to properly draw wood.

[dumb-naruto-headcanons]

I think that after whining so much here, I finally came around Hinata's bangs. Maybe the effect of venting.

I still think her canon design sucks though, poor girl deserves better so I'm always trying to make her look cooler while still in character. I also gave her the moon earrings from The Last. Not a fan of that movie at all but those earrings were very pretty.

AU where even after coming back from his training with Jiraiya and being basically kage level, Naruto was not allowed to do dangerous missions. It was decided by powerful people like the feudal lord and whatever politicians there are runing the country. People who are above Tsunade.

They do this in part to keep him protected and in part because they just don't like him and are actively trying to sabotage him. They see him as a weapon that has to be kept on a leash.

I would like it if Naruto was disliked and underestimated by most for much longer (I'm a sucker for the trope of powerful characters being seen as goofy weaklings). But that's a headcanon I'll expand on another day.

Crappy drawing of my headcanon version of naruhina in their mid-thirties with their headcanon kids. I imagine their kids getting Hinata's last name.

I don't actually have names for these ocs, but I do have some thoughts about them.

The older boy is a Hyuga through and through, which in my headcanon world includes some sort of blood manipulation. The hyugas seriously needed something to buff them up and that crap I what I came up with.

He's the future hyuga leader. I like the idea of both Hinata and Naruto becoming the Hyuga leader and the hokage not because they wanted to, but because they felt it as a responsibility, and I like the idea that Hinata's kid will also struggle with that expectation. Obviously, Hinata is not an asshole like her father, but she also has responsabilities herself, she made huge changes in the clan but she still need someone that will keep those changes to succed her.

He's an introvert, calm dude. Not shy but doesn't like to stand out. I imagine him similar to Fushiguro from JJK, kind of like the typical quiet guy in shonen but less angry or edgy.

The girl I imagine as similar to Kisame in the sense that she's "a jinchuriki without a bijuu" and having and abnormally huge amount of chakra. For that reason, I picture her having a similar fighting style to Naruto which is very chakra-consuming.

She's a tiny bit messed up. She's really strong and knows it. And she's cute and knows it. So she likes to act all sweet and innocent in general and then going ham while fighting.

The little one is the Naruto mini-me, he's a hyperactive, loud, obnoxious ball of energy.

He's really good with genjutsu and uses it to make the stupidest pranks.

Hinata an my ever-changing design for her...

[dumb-naruto-headcanons]

Before this blog, when I started posting Naruto stuff in my main one, someone asked me to draw Ino as catwoman or something like that (I deleted all the Naruto stuff in that blog so I don't remember). I was about to delete the image but figured I might as well post it before doing it.

[dumb-naruto-headcanons]

heyy I was wondering, would you draw a genderbend hokage naruto in the same outfit as your pinned one/pfp? Only if you want to ofc!! I Just love your redesigns!!

Something like this?

It's kind of half-assed and was too lazy to color. Sorry.

[dumb-naruto-headcanons]

Team 8 as I headcanon them through the years.

By the end I got bored and didn't even try with the hands...
