Hi 👋 welcome to my humble naruto blog!

You can call me Coraline and I go by she/her pronouns!

I like writing (a lot), I like drawing (no) and I love Naruto (sometimes)

The character I love thee most in Naruto is Karin! Other characters I adore are Hinata, Tenten, Fuu, Naruto and Team Minato!

Honorary mentions are: Rock Lee, Itachi, Sakura, Kimimaro and Haku!

Okay take care now

Debunking “Sasuke never cared about Team Taka”

Many believe that the relationship between Sasuke and Team Taka are just surface level and that Sasuke merely regards them as a tools.

But it was shown time and time again that Sasuke has a deep connection with Team Taka so much so that they reminded him of the bond he had with Team 7 and this is where he unlocked a new ability just to save them (Chapter 414)

More below the line 👇

The theme of becoming strong for those you care about has existed since the start of the manga (Chapter 21):

And prior to unlocking his abilities, he had displayed multiple looks of worry towards his team. (Chapter 413)

And here’s another moment.

His bond with them was brought into question, yet he made a worried expression. If Sasuke didn’t care about them, he wouldn’t have made that face. (Chapter 579]

“He saved them because he needed to use (them as tools)”

If that was the case then he wouldn’t have said this:

You’re probably saying, “doesn’t this go against his bond with them?”

And it’s actually the opposite, he chose them first (out of all the options he had) and didn’t want to force them to go along with him if they had refused.

Him saying “I’ll try someone else” implies he had other people in mind, yet if he regarded Team Taka as tools plus had a backup plan, why would he go out of his way to save someone he could replace while also blinding himself further?

Another thing to note is that this all occurred after Itachi’s death and the revelation/truth of his clan. Meaning he still had a mental wound and was going through grief, yet he still very much displayed care towards his team (the bee fight).

Here is them together, at Sasuke’s most vulnerable moment.

This is the very first time Sasuke has cried throughout the whole series. Would he show such a side to people he didn’t care about ?

The second (and last) time he cried was with Naruto, the person who understood him the most.

This shows they mean something to him and that he truly did care.

my creative braincells are not working but heres a little jonin rin for ur viewing pleasure

[karinsperfume]

Madara calling Obito his lil’ rugrat… that’s father right there

[karinsperfume]

She’s actually terrifying

Also the anime for some reason gave her light in her eyes.. like nuh uh that’s not the Rin Nohara I know

And because of that I did this tiny edit

[karinsperfume]

quick manga edit

a lot of people say that Naruto would want to get along with a fellow family member because of his upbringing, and I think that would be the case if Naruto and Karin had met during Naruto part 1 or early Shippuden. But with Naruto getting more mature throughout the series, even if he was desperate for familial connection, he probably would dislike Karin for her ethics…

but who knows 🤷‍♀️ Naruto did forgive a lot of bad people throughout his life

also peep the Uzumaki symbol on Naruto’s side but not on Karin’s. She hasn’t ever identified herself as an Uzumaki (it was Kabuto that revealed it) and I headcanon it has something to do with her upbringing.

and finally the big Uzumaki symbol in the middle that ties the both of them together, whether they like it or not.

Rin while watching Kakashi vs Obito

[lacyramen]

I can’t hate any Naruto girl because I think all of them deserve to be even worse shittier people. And yet they are not. Sad

[obitoslover]

That's why I wholeheartedly ignore the author's intention to say Rin, had she been alive, would have sided with Obito, and in canon she likes him way more than she likes anyone and anything else cuz

Ah yes. Obito definitely kept working real hard to achieve the promise he told her... about becoming a hokage and saving the world. Surely he did... when he attempted to bomb their sensei's newborn in front of his parents just for revenge. which Rin is fully aware about, mind you, as she admitted her afterlife stalking

I genuinely can't believe Kishimoto managed to accidentally write a character as crazy as her

[tessalat3]

Been really obsessed w sakukarin of late and the idea of sakura teaching karin medical ninjutsu so she wouldn't have to rely on her kekkei genkai (which led to her being sexually exploited & her mother dying - sakura doesnt know that but she can See Signs) and karin just being very badly adjusted about it and insisting that she's too special for all that

[karinsperfume]

Sasuke who’s very wary of physical touch vs Naruto who can’t keep his hands to himself

Hinata being weirded out ☝️

[karinsperfume]

Sarada needs to continue the tradition of piercing a friend with the chidori

though she did try!

[nohara-rin-dot-mp3]

guess he'll be happy, then. i'm glad.

Orochimaru taking it as a compliment + Jiraiya is gagged (good way)

Entity Rin

explanation below 👇

Okay so timeline is after Sasuke Vs Kakashi, Sakura and Naruto after the Five Kage Summit arc so around here

Since Karin’s sensory is really good + she’s at death door I thought wouldn’t it be cool if she saw Rin ?! So originally, it was supposed to be with Obito instead of Kakashi that Karin saw Rin BUT Karin was relatively healthy when Obito was around and and I thought it would a nicer touch if Rin became spiritually attached to the person who killed her 🥰

+ i kinda rambled about it in this post near the bottom

I also kept changing Rin’s headband’s symbol, to either question mark or the leaf insignia buttt I stuck with the question mark since I thought it looked neat on her and matched her vibe iykwim..

Sorry if this is all incoherent and low quality mess, I rushed through this but I really needed to get this out of my mind 🥹✌️

[karinsperfume]

He’s actually hilarious for saying this after seeing Sasuke give Karin the Kakashi special

And the full panel makes it so 😭😭

When characters that you love have absolutely nothing to do with one another end up acknowledging each other’s existence (barely) 🥹❤️‍🩹

More Karin and Team Minato moments 👇

Okay firsties is mr Obito (her face is killing me 😭)

Then Kakashi! this scene was saur cute + him laughing at what she’s saying 😭

And for Minato, sadly they didn't talk even tho they both were 2 feet away from each other 💔 He was literally behind Tobirama in this panel

All of them staring at her and being weirded tf OUT #realfreak

Which brings me to the last person, Rin...

In the Narutoverse, Karin has the most versatile sensory abilities (l'll make a thread about that another day BUT there's this really good in depth post someone made), but TLDR she can sense from very far away, can sense emotions, genjutsu, lies, difference between a shadow clone and and a real body etc.

and in short she could've sensed Rin next to Obito and Kakashi during the battle IDK I MIGHT be taking shit out of my ass but Karin would see something kinda like this👇

And then its kinda super very freaky to Karin because she’s never seen this before and who the hell is this dead entity thingy ?!?

Anyways, I love team Minato 👍
