I haven't drawn anything more adequate yet. I can only show this quick sketch as a warm-up.

My idea if Shikamaru had a tailed beast (I traced Shikamaru on affinity designer doing a different layer for each part and it took forever)

AITA for gently encouraging my host to break up with his boyfriend?

i (4729295184m anthropomorphic fox spirit) have been sealed inside my jinchuuriki host N (18m) for basically his entire life now. we got off to a rocky start because long story short his mother was a massive bitch but he annoyed me into friendship so we’re on good terms now.

i am NOT on good terms with his boyfriend (18m) who we can just call S. there are several reasons i don’t like S. his face is annoying his voice is annoying and most importantly he’s a descendant of a guy who fucked me over pretty bad like a hundred years ago, which is obviously unforgivable.

of course N is CRAZY about him and has been pining for like four years, so one can imagine he’s pretty happy now that they’re finally together. whateverrrrrrrr. S is obviously unstable and needs to leave.

so basically i’ve been taking over N’s mortal form for a few hours a night so i can hide S’s various possessions, hoping he’d blame N (who’s known for pranks) and spark up some conflict that’d break them up. and S was getting pretty annoyed, which was entertaining to watch btw. but N figured out what i was doing and now he’s mad at me, even though i’m only looking out for our best interests…. am i the asshole?

Biju-inherited kekei genkai (1): the Kyubi bloodline descended from Uzumaki Kushina

I know that Boruto is something of a swear word around these parts but on some choice occasions I like to play around with the retcon worldbuilding implications, so hear me out

for those of you who refuse to keep up with Boruto (a choice I respect), around the end of part 1 Kurama uses up all his life force to beat a bad guy and die, and a bit later Naruto gets sealed off and out of the pictures. Then, in part 2, Kurama respawns directly into Himawari, conveniently giving her a jinchuriki power up mid-fight.

(Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, chapter 10)

This sounds like BS for anyone who knows anything about how jinchuriki work—what do you mean the biju spawned right into her belly, no sealing involved??

Then the concept is further developed in chapter 25:

The gist of it is that 1) Kurama spawned right into Himawari cuz she have exceptional compatibility with his chakra, supposedly more so than even Naruto, because of her bloodline 2) Himawari is not really a jinchuriki, she's actually closer to becoming a biju-like chakra beast herself.

Here, I'm done talking about the Boruto manga, pinky promise.

So the interesting idea is that jinchuriki ancestry has an impact of some sort on a bloodline, And even more if you have several jinchuriki of the same biju—so we get a greater compatibility to said biju, and something akin to a kekei genkai.

The bloodline descended from Uzumaki Kushina is proof of concept.

Naruto’s iconic Fox whisker marks are obviously a Kyûbi thing —they react and widen when the Fox chakra is leaking— but he didn’t gain them from becoming a jinchuriki. Note how neither Kushina nor Mito have those! Naruto was actually born with the whisker marks, a trait we can reasonably infer is due to having a Kyûbi jinchuriki mother.

So being the son of a Kyûbi jinchuriki makes Naruto even more compatible to be in turn a Kyubi jinchuriki, and the face marks are just a physical proof of it.

The Boruto generation confirms it, with both of Naruto’s children having the whiskers (and Himawari’s canon crazy compatibility with Kurama). The only counterintuitive thing is that Boruto and Hima have weaker fox trait than Naruto (2 whiskers instead of 3), altho they have TWO generations of Kyubi jinchuriki in a row in their direct parentage, and their father Naruto is supposedly a much more perfect jinchuriki than Kushina was. I have two possible answers for that: either the Hyuga bloodline strongly balance it out (but Kurama’s words to Himawari seem to hint to the contrary), or their traits are weaker because the jinchuriki bloodline is on their father’s side instead of their mother’s —> they didn’t stew in Kyubi chakra for the whole pregnancy.

From all that I conclude that repeatedly having a specific Biju’s jinchuriki in a bloodline make said biju’s power slowly seep into the bloodline. That entices both a stronger natural compatibility to the Biju among that family line, and a kekei genkai based on that Biju’s own powers.

Kurama doesn’t have any fun elemental release to play with tho, only his fox form and an indecent amount of chakra.

A much more interesting example to poke at would be whatever the fuck is going on in Suna between Shukaku and the Kazekage clan, which I do here :3
