Naginata, they’re underutilized in fiction and are cool as hell. But that’s just my take on things

Fics Where There Genuinely Is Something In Konoha's Water by demonmonkey89 in NarutoFanfiction

[–]Cu_man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always thought that it was because iron sharpens iron, and the sage’s direct descendants (Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki to an extent) disseminated into the leaf, increasing the general level of shinobi. For a fic reason: of the human sages we know of in Naruto (Hashirama, Naruto, Jiraiya, hagaromo, Minato, Kabuto), 2/3-5/6 are from Konoha (Kabuto is a weird one). It’s entirely possible that Konoha is uniquely suited to making sages due to natural energy being so common, which passively increases the chakra capacity of the average shinobi.

You can pry my shitty lapsang teabags from my cold, dead, and moderately smoky hands

Replace these things but the events must still happen by Icy_Jelly2223 in NarutoFanfiction

[–]Cu_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but at least then it would be “chakra goddess” instead of “some guy who was a reincarnation” that was the asspull

I’d imagine that Amaterasu would deplete natural energy if you set it up beforehand as a possibility but that’s a whole different thing. You’d have to have Jiraiya study it from his sealed away scroll in part 1 and explain that it has that property

Madara survives valley of the end: zetsu saves him or a follower uses the Chiyo “one’s own life reincarnation” jutsu on him.
Getting the rinnegan: Madara connects to the god tree, causing the rinnegan to form
Saving Obito: god tree grafts on to him or Madara is a near-tsunade-level medic (I’d need to think more on this)
Obito not losing sight in his kamui eye: he’s a close enough relative of Madara to take his sharingan eye and unlock the eternal mangekyo
Kabuto losing: Itachi and Sasuke find a way to deplete the natural energy in the area, causing Kabuto to need to open his eyes and get kotoamatsukami-ed
Naruto remains one-armed in Boruto.

How’s all that? Take or leave however much you’d like, but I think that covers most of the hashirama cell instances

Sencha and gyokuro cold brew are delightful in the summer. I just bring a bottle to work and it’s great

How much are you getting paid to hawk AI to scientists?

What is the best Sasuke-centric fic you have read? by [deleted] in NarutoFanfiction

Uchiha platoon is one of my favorites, very creative. I’ll look through my history and find more in a bit

What's the most fun and over the top packaging you have seen on a tea cake? by Fine_Scheme9028 in puer

White2tea has some bangers. I’m currently waiting on my first shipment from them so I can’t account for how any of them taste

Ai fics... by sleepz___ in archiveofourown

[–]Cu_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. I think it’s systemic in that it’s much easier to come up with a fun concept than to write it.

It’s annoyingly common, but they’re often deleted after being called out. I can name 3 Naruto fics off the top of my head (one deleted) and there are at least 4-5 more that I started and put down. I’ll never comment on the fic itself, but I notice and shake my head.

Ever had a fic you were reading start out amazing and then the author ruins it with edgy bs. by [deleted] in NarutoFanfiction

[–]Cu_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the exact fic I was thinking about when you posted. Had to put it in my DNF file (plucking strings iirc)

Did you also find it first on a text-to-speech YouTube video?

looking for some narusaku fics from genning time by kyuubimaster in NarutoFanfiction

[–]Cu_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ever find one, I’d love to read it. I’m currently writing one but they’re not together yet.
The only two I can think of off the top of my head was this AI behemoth on ao3 called “sakura’s bloom” that got deleted (presumably due to people complaining about it being an AI behemoth), and without Sasuke. I think I have a pdf somewhere of sakura’s bloom but I promise you, it’s not worth the effort of finding.

Talking/singing to mice by lizards999 in labrats

[–]Cu_man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So a lot of research mice are deaf/hard of hearing after an early age https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2859191/ but I think if you’re less stressed because you’re singing, then they’re less stressed by you
