So I just made angsty headcanons of Naruto and Saten’s platonic relationship.
Like the first time Saten up and goes to say something to Naruto, he’s overjoyed, happy that someone is actually talking to him friendly other than Iruka and and isn’t given out the monster bullshit and when people judge Saten for it, all she does is glare and mentally wonder whom gave them to right to talk to a kid like that. He’s also happy that she’s starting to open up and not ignore everyone because of the stuff she’s recently went through.
Imagine after knowing that she had lost people she had cared about, Naruto is so overjoyed that Saten had graduated from the academy. He’s excited for her, and he can’t wait to get to the same rank as her. So he just hugs her tight from her accomplishments but is sad that he probably won’t see her every day now.
Imagine Saten and Naruto rarely hanging out as they both have become actual ninjas now, but when they do, they’re talking and laughing about their adventures. Naruto talks about how he has a rival and how he’s going to try to make sure he becomes strong enough to become Hokage. Saten talking about how much of a rough start her group had and how they’re becoming so close, but always reminds Naruto that his close to her heart so he doesn’t feel upset or jealous towards her group.
Imagine in the Chunin Exams when Naruto has no idea what is going on with Saten, but she seems so much dimmer now and he doesn’t understand what’s going on with her. All she’s said is hi and walked away and he knows she’s hurting inside from something, so he constantly roots for her in the Chunin Exams, especially the prelims where she had to fight Kabuto to the finals where she actually fought her own teammate in the exam and when she had won, he wrapped his arms around her and said he’s proud of her. However Saten can’t find it in her mind but to push him away, telling him there’s nothing wrong with her because she’s so fucking scared that he’s going to get involved and she’s horrified of loosing another person. Naruto doesn’t understand why Saten is so depressed so instead of getting, frustrated, he just compliments her more, trying to make her feel like a human being.
Then, Saten gets dragged in with a mission of Naruto and her fears almost get recognized. She finally runs into the man that has recently put her life into a living hell and sees Kabuto again. Naruto sees the horror in her eyes and doesn’t understand why she’s so scared and depressed, but then sees the very reason why she was so afraid and why she was so departing from him and the others. He solmly understands why she did what she did but doesn’t want her to go through this. So he tells Saten it isn’t a crime to want to live and she just freezes. She never, ever thought that could happen after the past few weeks of what she had been through and because of his and everyone else’s support. She gets to the point where she hates herself for giving up so easily.
Finally, after the incident, Saten just hears how Naruto sees that she was so broken and knows she’s hiding all that pain and he just tells her it’s okay to cry and Saten just bursts into tears about EVERYTHING and says that she feels like she won’t be able to accomplish a thing. Naruto just holds her there and tells her that everyone won’t give up on her, especially him.
Now imagine Naruto waking up after that battle with Sasuke. He had heard what happened to Saten that she had been beaten down and been in a coma, and he just walks into her hospital room when she finally wakes up and cries over her being okay, crying over the fact that one of his friends had been brought back at least. He’s thankful he didn’t lose both her and Sasuke that day and gives her the biggest hug and tells her that she shouldn’t give up because she got jumped and tells her to once again use that motivation of her clan and friends to make her stronger.
I’m done with this just *lays here in feels* These two are always here for each other.
If you should be on here with a thread we have, even if it's buried like 2300046 years down, shoot me a message and I'll add it. I'll keep adding threads until the end of this week.
For the sake of no clutter, all threads that aren't on there by next week will be considered 'dropped'.
Mini-threads will not be included and usually stop when interaction stops for the day, unless otherwise specified.
