Orquidee-e - ナオリ

emerges from hiatus thinking once again about Naruto; specifically the Uchiha 🖤

Naori Uchiha’s Mangekyō Sharingan (TW: SA, matricide, Trauma, grief, war)

Naori was a member of the Uchiha clan during the second Shinobi world war era, and she was a badass! With her Mangekyō Sharingan, she is assumed to be the first of the Uchiha clan to utilize the Izanami (a powerful genjutsu that entraps the target’s mind in a loop), as well as its inventor.

Her story is rather sad, and honestly I think a great representation of female grief and rage resulting from trauma. She was bullied for being a powerful Kunoichi (female Shinobi). As she grew up, she was feared in her clan by most of the men, and forced to marry a lustful older man by her mother, which triggered her trauma from a previous attempted sexual assault incident. She came to her mother, the only person in the clan who Naori believed understood her, and impaled her with a sword. Upon her death, Naori’s mother told her, “You grew up to be the woman I always wanted you to be. Thank you Naori.” After which, Naori’s Mangekyō was awakened.

Naori’s Mangekyō is shaped like a flower, as a reminder of her mother’s fleeting life.

I feel like we are not talking enough about the fact that Sasuke and Itachi are the sons of a police officer. Imagine a no-massacre AU where their respective friend group comes up with some brain-dead idea that will most definitely get them in trouble.

Sasuke: "NOOOO. That's illegal. I don't want to sit in an interrogation room with my dad or his work buddies."

Itachi: "Wouldn't it be humiliating for the police captain if his son ended up being a criminal offender, though? Anyway, ANBU-issued legal immunity goes brr"

I love the complete look with spiderweb haori, crescent moon bag, and cat in the moon obidome.

just random sad bird clan things i drew and never posted

Stares at with big ol’ chibi eyes.

Naori blinks slowly, feeling something like cuteness aggression bubbling in her chest.

"... Are you lost?"

*stares everything from the heaven where the fillers and death characters exist.*

Sasuke is so lucky that Itachi’s blind ass couldn’t see him coz that man would be scandalised by his fashion sense. Like I’m completely convinced he’d break character just to tell him to cover up.

Sasuke: I’m here to avenge our fam—

Itachi: what the fuck are you wearing?

Sasuke: excuse me?

Itachi: you’re excused. And please cover up. Are you not cold? Stop showing your bare chest like that. Did your shirt get torn up? I told you to always have a spare.

Sasuke:…

Idk why the hell some people from this fandom care about what other ship so much to the point where they have to hate ask in a page..

I’m telling u. Coming from someone who used to ship itaizu also but like her individually (she has so much potential.) it’s mostly her self inserts.. most itaizu fans are sasusaku fans, which u know are crazy (mostly) I have witnessed.. a lot.

And talking about her potential character. She could’ve been a cool uchiha girl “cousin”. Yk like a shisui girl counterpart or someone like Naori. We could’ve had a cool uchiha girl (I want an unhinge uchiha women 😤 or maybe not unhinge just someone cool and well written. Maybe someone like azula from avatar? Or idk anyone cool that u could think of) but reality speaking. she was only made to fill the “lover” spot for itachi’s sob backstory and she doesn’t even contribute to the story. Whether obito mentioned the lover or not, whether she’s invented or not. Nothing changes.. 🫤

Exactly. Izumi was done dirtier than Rin. They're both "male sob story enhancers" with no life of their own, but Izumi didn't even get the courtesy of existing before Obito mentioned a lover and people obviously needed an explanation...

And then, the poor girl didn't even reach the status of "male character development catalyst" like Rin did. Her whole existence built up to an anti-climatic courtesy hallucination when she was killed and Itachi never once did or said anything suggesting that she existed, let alone mattered to him.

If they had at least shown Itachi to reciprocate her feelings a little bit instead of being just another shonen boy who pursues anything other than romance but gets the girl without trying anyway... At least it'd leave a lasting impression of Itachi losing something of value, but the anime didn't even consider her important enough to die the way she did in the novel.

She could have been an interesting character. She was willing to challenge and criticize Itachi and I think her biggest moment was when she meant to visit him but talked to his father instead and moved him to tears. She could have meant so much.
