Kisame Week 2025.
Day 6: Wait by the River.

Also by the way. In a 'team minato lives au' kiri is a fucking hole on the map. like even in a world where minato died Obito spent DECADES driving them into economic and political ruin. turned kiri into a fucking pool of blood. AND NOW MINATO AND KUSHINA ARE ALIVE. AND RIN'S VENGFUL ASS IS A JINCHURIKI. AND KAKASHI ISN'T DEPRESSED HE'S JUST PISSED??? oh it's never been more over….nobody fully clocked how brutal and cruel Obito and his plans could be until he showed up to the 'what do we do about kiri' meeting with plans so crazy they make even Minato pause and go 'hm. I think maybe this would kill too many people.' (A sentance no one including himself thought him capable of saying!) by the end of it, Rin's vindictive match-his-crazy ride-or-die-since-dipars ass is the only one still smiling and nodding. Minato is having the first moment of intense self reflection in his life.
Thought I would share my swordsmen of the mist ref sheet with the rest of you all that I put together and use for my art. You kind of get a good idea for the different official "uniform" conventions in the mist when all the characters are lined up like this. As a heads up the colored in Zabuza lineups aren't my own, they're from tumblr user @anbubox - links to their zabuza settei sheet upscales: set one and set two. I also couldn't find any proper turnarounds for Ameyuri Ringo, so I made use of her naruto online sprite sheets here as well - you can view those and others on the spriters-resource website.
Some more Ringo refs using those sprites:
If you want to see the other settei sheets I ripped from though, I mostly uploaded them on their own separately here on this post. There's also links to some Kisame settei sheets on that post too!

For official height comparisons, I also put together this handy dandy lineup of all the (non boruto era) swordsmen of the mist:
And I actually created an additional height chart with all the characters in kiri that have official heights listed as well that I could find:
Again, not using anything Boruto era here, might do that separately in another post though for Kirigakure specifically again. Please note that Chojuro and Suigetsu's heights listed are from their age during the time frame that Shippuden takes place.
I also put together a bit of an eye color chart as well. Since most of the characters you see show up during edo tensei in the anime, I tried to pull from the anime specifically since the anime gives edo tensei characters their eye color while alive, but with black sclera. Fuguki Suikazan is an example of this, since we see him alive during a flashback scene where his eye color is visible, as well as when he is reanimated during edo tensei. His brown eye color during both is roughly about the same.
I've noticed a lot of video games and other extended materials tend to default to giving all edo tensei characters white eyes with dark sclera, so I tried to avoid using those as eye color reference specifically. Anime seems to work best here, although there's a caveat - the scene where the seven ninja swordsmen once reanimated are first introduced as a group. During that scene, the anime shows them all with the same ghostly white eyes. As an example, Zabuza shows up prior to the rest of the swordsmen in the edo tensei arc, and has his brown eyes like he did while alive. During the scene where all the ninja swordsmen are introduced together though as a full lineup, he suddenly reverts to white eyes like all of the others.
In their individual scenes in the anime episodes after this, actual eye colors are used once again for the most part. The main outliers unfortunately seem to be Ameyuri Ringo and Jinin Akebino who are instead shown with flat dark filled in eyes during edo tensei, so there wasn't much to pull from there. But I added them to the chart anyway.
It's too bad we don't really see Mangetsu much after this introduction, so we can't say for sure what his eye color while alive could have been. It may have also been purple like Suigetsu, but I figured I'd include Gengetsu into the lineup as another Hozuki to give options - Mangetsu's eye color may have also been light blue too, we just can't say for sure. Anyway Raiga's eye color seems to just change depending on scene lighting from shades of blue to green, so I included some options there to get an idea for range.
any other village he would burn to the ground, but kirigakure? drowning it in its own blood is the only option

10 things I would have liked instead of Boruto (this is NOT a dissing post!)
If you like Boruto, well, good for you? I simply couldn’t care less about it personally. However, there are things that I did totally care about, and I’m quite sad and disappointed they’re most likely never going to happen.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1. Madara’s missing siblings
This is something I’ve always felt unfair. We got to know all four Senju brothers both by face and name (even if they’re just a leaf in the whole forest), but not the five Uchiha siblings. I’m not even asking for much, just give me a single panel of them with a name and I’d already be glad enough.
I was so iffed by this, that I named them myself in my Uchiha clan tree, following the common convention of naming all five siblings after the Northern Shinshu range. By the way, mothers would have been appreciated too…
2. Uzushio's lore
For being the home of one of the most influential clans in the series, we were only fed a few crumbs. Lore states it was destroyed, but barely anything is known about this village (my joke theory of it).
3. Sakumo Hatake’s mission
It’s difficult to believe how popular this character is for the very little we know of him. Yes, he’s Kakashi’s father, a supposed hero of Konoha until he fell in disgrace and offed himself.
That’s all, literally ALL we know! Which is not near enough. I keep hopelessly hoping that some day Kishimoto might write another anniversary oneshot for Sakumo, like he did for Minato.
4. Jinchuriki background
Ok, at least this one I’m sure many fans will agree with. Out of the nine jinchuriki, we only got decent story for 1/3 of them (Naruto, Gaara and Killer Bee). That leaves 6 people with nothing! Look, I’m not saying they have to be as fleshed out as the very protagonist… but c’mon, can’t you really give me anything?
This is one of the times that I deeply thank Studio Pierrot for at least bringing us the Utakata’s filler arc, and making Fuu showing up in the second chuunin exams.
5. The new Three-Deadlock
Sigh, so much for trying to sell us Team 7 as the new sannin… In reality? Meh, not so much. Listen, I’m partial to Sasuke but I totally love Sakura, and I think they should have been given sage mode too. In fact, I never understood why Tsunade and Orochimaru never got it.
6. Hashirama’s and Mito’s family
Self-explanatory. Who the heck were HashiMito children/Tsunade’s parents? O_O
7. Kirigakure's bloody story
We don’t know how, why or when it began. Some theories attribute it to Yagura, but others appoint it to the third mizukage, whom we don’t even know the name of, less his personality.
If you're interested, I fan-named him here, along many other Naruto characters.
8. Origins of Hidan and Kakuzu
They are the only two akatsuki we don’t know how they ended up like that. It is said that Kakuzu was a Taki-nin that stole a forbidden jutsu and defected, but we don’t really know anything about his life aside that. Hidan is the same case.
9. The downfall of Konoha’s counselors
Those two crawling maggots, those two hypocritical cockroaches, those stinky rotten corrupted… yeah, you know who I’m talking about for sure, even without names. Danzou had it coming, but those two never got the karma fix they deserved! Ò_Ó
10. Legendary battles that we never saw happen
This soon will get a future post itself, so stay tuned! XD
EDIT: it's already done!
