#kaguaino

I know. You’ve done your best.

When your maid actually has to do maid things instead of staring at the sky with you for hours... what a pain... I wish Shippuden EP #460 was an arc instead of just one episode... Aino and Kaguya I miss you. I love them so much I can't put it into words

au where instead of black zetsu orchestrating events in naruto, it's aino. kaguya uses her alien powers to bring aino back to life and then sends her away (to keep her safe while she conducts the divine tree ritual). kaguya also transfers powerful chakra to aino when she revives her, which is latent until kaguya is sealed into the moon.

years later, far away, aino feels a surge of power under the moonlight and knows in her heart that something is wrong. she returns home and learns that everyone else sees kaguya as a villain. a monster. aino's not much of a fighter, but she knows she's kaguya's only hope to escape from this eternal prison. and aino has never stopped loving kaguya. so she devotes her life to trying to save her. by any means necessary.

people acting like sasuke and naruto invented being gay as if kaguya’s falling in love with her handmaiden isn’t the reason for the entire sequence of events that led to them existing at all

Left untouched, Aino’s life might have had a trajectory that, given all else, would have been unremarkable in the least, and Aino would have continued to be entirely unremarkable.

But then Lady Kaguya arrived.

[ylvasart]

Today it will be a rather less known rarepair that had caught my interest since last month.

Kaguai, or Kaguaino (seen been used by either ship name) from Naruto Shippuden.

I am not in the fandom per se, but stumbled upon these two and got hooked. I mean it's a rarepair. Of course it would hook my interested in it hahaha!

GUYS KAGUYA WAS SO GAY

like maybe she fucked that dumbass lord tenji or whatever but you CANNOT tell me that wasnt for politics or strategem. she was an alien who was captured and brought to this lord by his soldiers, and her best bet at getting food and shelter and all that was to live with him and stay in his good books. we also dont know how much importance her alien culture placed on sex so it could have been like a favour or something. 

and she was clearly in a relationship with her handmaid Aino:

like my girl aino just telepathetically sensed that kaguya couldnt sleep and came to her

and stayed with her like LOOK they’re girlfriends

i just??? can’t? they’re cute? aino’s drooling on her shoulder and she so does not mind? like kishimoto maybe you shouldn’t have made the villain this cute with her girlfriend? huh? did you maybe think about that? 

and aino’s first instinct when this warmonger attacked was to sheild kaguya and put herself in front of her oh my god

aino said “Lady Kaguya, please run” and kaguya’s response WAS TO PULL HER ALONG. it’s just this dialogue:

“run, please, save yourself”

“not without you”

MY HEART?

and aino just saw kaguya murder like 15 people and she STILL just wants to save kaguya, look at her pull her away from the soldiers and into some kind of forest like that seems a lot like unconditional love to me lads

(and also look at this man. he probably loved kaguya but i dont think she loved him back. and he also just seems like a really foolish ruler. does he really think his enemies are honorable after all the bullshit they’ve pulled? does he think they’re going to leave him alone if he gives them her head? like what’s his logic? and his enemies didnt tell him to pass a law saying anyone who defends themselves will be beheaded, he did that all on his own. is there a limit to this dumbassery? probably not.)

and that part where dumbass lord’s soldiers fire arrows at them? kaguya instantly pushes aino out of the way and stands in between her and the FLAMING ARROWS

AND BLASTS THEM AWAY. THAT’S- THAT’S NOT A NORMAL MISTRESS/HANDMAIDEN DYNAMIC. it could be alien culture to protect everyone you meet but then she wouldn’t have let the lord go off on his own, would she now?

and aino is implicitly trusting kaguya. like she doesn’t know what this divine tree is, she doesn’t know what kaguya wants with it (at least that we know of, kaguya might have told her off-screen) and she’s still following her. blindly.

“I need to get to the Divine Tree.” -“Please go. I will stop them.”

AGAIN we see aino trusting blindly in the fact that whatever Kaguya wants must be good. AGAIN aino puts her life on the line for Kaguya. SHE JUST RAN STRAIGHT AT AN ARMY ALL ALONE to prevent them attacking kaguya.

and you can see kaguya, an alien who came to earth with some sort of higher purpose, in pain, probably barely standing, surrounded by flaming arrows, actually considering running after her handmaid who’s sacrificing her life for her.

aino’s been shot twice and she’s still trying to run and save kaguya I WILL CRY

anD WE HAVE KAGUYA SHOWING THE MOST EMOTION SHE’S SHOWN SO FAR WHEN AINO’S SHOT

AINO IS SHOT DOWN SHE LITERALLY CANT MOVE AT THIS POINT AND SHE’S STILL TRYING TO GET UP AND RUN TOWARDS THE ARMY THAT SHOT HER. WHY? FOR KAGUYA. 

AND SHE’S STILL SAYING KAGUYA’S NAME. HER LAST WISH WAS FOR KAGUYA TO HAVE A HEALTHY CHILD.

AND KAGUYA WENT INTO COMPLETE SHOCK SHE’S SCREAMING AINO’S NAME. SHE’S ROOTED TO THE SPOT. SHE STOPPED HER MAD RUSH TO THE TREE BECAUSE AINO.

Like you can SEE the minute she’s decided that this world needs to end because it’s incomplete without aino. i’m full on sobbing at this point.

LOOK AT HER FACE SHE DOESNT EVEN CARE ANYMORE.

i can just FEEL her thinking “for aino” while she does this aaaaaaaah

LOOK SEE WHAT DID I SAY. WORLD? ENDED.

the man she “loves” is lifeless and mindless at her own hand and she has no emotion on her face. NONE. no reaction. she’s watching him die and she’s completely calm (maybe even a little vindictive, because he’s the reason aino died. maybe that’s why she saved him for last.)

she’s fulfilling aino’s last wish. this sentence is to say that “yes, i am going to have children and they are going to be strong and healthy.” just as aino wanted. kaguya’s children and her safe birth are aino’s last wish.

her wish was dashed when humans killed the only one of them she’d come to love. she hated humans for killing her lover. she hated them for killing Aino specifically. she only ran  to the Tree AFTER she and Aino were attacked, she’d been perfectly content living as she was.

she ate the fruit of the Divine Tree to protect everything Aino wished for her to have. Her children are Aino’s keepsakes, not Tenji’s.
