242 files and 21 subfolders

I’ve been collecting (archiving) If/Then official pictures as many as possible, for 5-6 years. Initially I was going to pick highest quality ones, sort them by production (Broadway, Tour, etc), and upload on Flickr. But it takes hella time and I feel like I will never finish, so I decided to upload all of them here.

The image files are mostly sorted by source website. There are a lot of same photos in different qualities.

Hope you can have fun with them as your desktop picture, or for your edits and moodboards etc!

To ensure the Yamanaka Clan is further protected, they strike a deal with the daimyo clan of the Uchiha. Ino is chosen to marry one of the Uchiha, but she elopes with her lover the night before she is supposed to be wedded. Inoichi decides against calling off the deal to save face and demands Deidara, her twin brother, to take her place.

Read on AO3 and/or FFN.

Chapter Excerpt:

Obito leans back when Sakura gives him a look. He clears his throat and stares up at the ceiling, his arms crossed against his chest. Deidara rubs temples with his fingers.

“Stop acting like my mother,” Deidara murmurs when Tobi clears his throat the fifth time.
