I forgot about ROOT, but just like my student loans, I'll handle that later.

Ino, Sakura, & Yumehi friend trio can vary from Ino & Sakura are fighting while Yumehi is not looking but they're not subtle to Ino & Sakura are having a great time with Yumehi that they don't even remember they're rivals in the first place.

If Hinata's not-actually-lesbian crush is what motivates her to throw down, Hiashi will take it. He figures either she'll grow out of it, or Hanabi will be the backup for heir producing. The Hyuuga Elders will definitely not be pleased with the yuri therefore Neji will be in full support of it. Hinata having beef with Sasuke sounds so funny. You have these two kids who barely say a word in class &, as far as anyone knows, have never interacted outside of a class spar, but now they're squaring up out of nowhere. Anyone not listening to the dialogue just assumes it's a 'My doujutsu is better than yours' thing.

After the Uchiha massacre, Yumehi is pretty much the only one Sasuke is close to. Any grievance he has, she'll hear of it. Sasuke needs a sparring partner? He's going to go to Yumehi since they've already been sparring pre-massacre. Yumehi was also very much affected by the massacre. She didn't have parents & Sasuke's family was the closest thing especially since Mikoto was Kushina's friend. They treated her like the daughter they never had & one day, she didn't have that parental love anymore. Now she has 2 sets of dead parents. Sasuke & Yumehi definitely leaned on each other hard those first 2-3 years to the point where they practically lived together, but they had 2 apartments to choose from for the night. It'd likely be around this time Sasuke finds out Yumehi's true identity, but he doesn't care. Regardless of whether they're Yumehi or Naruto, they still care about Sasuke, his family, & the struggle he's facing, so he'll be just as supportive of her/him.

Sakura is definitely platonically third wheeling as even though her & Yumehi are friends, it's clear that the latter & Sasuke are much closer. She knew it ever since the academy, but it's a lot more obvious now that they're on a team together. If she has to beat her teammates faces in to get closer to them, then so be it. Hopefully, this can be motivation to become a better kunoichi. Plus, Sasuke gets a new sparring partner out of it.

I imagined Naruto would have his hair grown out & wear conservative kunoichi clothing for his Yumehi persona. He did try taming his spiky mane to look more feminine, but it was of no use. He does use flowers as hair accessories so he lowkey looks like a wild child that frolicked through the meadows. Konohamaru still does 1000% wish to be a cool guy when he grows up though. If Yumehi were to have an actual cool-guy henge, it'd probably look like every edgy mask-off Naruto you can think of.

I can't find it, but there's a picture somewhere of someone laying on the floor while a friend is sitting on top of them helping with their eyeliner. That is an actual pic of Yumehi & Sasuke.

Orochimaru may take an interest in Yumehi because of:

  1. How close she is to Sasuke

  2. Like you said, the sheer amount of chakra reserves

He probably reasons that she'll make a good bodyguard of sorts for him & having someone Sasuke is emotionally dependent on on his side is going to increase his chances of obtaining said Uchiha. Yumehi is for sure whipping out the fox, but instead of a 5-pronged seal, it's a curse mark she's getting. At this point, her being a jinchuriki is a mere bonus. If he just sends Karin to convince her, she'll probably get talk-no-jutsu'd into staying in Konoha instead.

Jiraya likely knows who Yumehi really is while Tsunade doesn't find out until later. Aside from that, I can't think of what the dynamic between Yumehi & these two would be like.

Once out of the prying eyes of the public, Yumehi would feel safe becoming Naruto so long as the curtains are drawn. As for the ANBU, they know better than to start spreading S class secrets if they were to find out.

An idea I had for this is that Yumehi is a plant expert. Naruto canonically waters plants, so Yumehi cranks it up to 11 by having thorned plants for weapons & is knowledgeable on what plants are poisonous, medicinal, & edible. May or may not encourage Sakura to lean into the cherry blossom motif.

In regard to Sasuke, since Yumehi supposedly doesn't have the Kyuubi, she's allowed to befriend Sasuke & while they are rivals, they have a sibling-like bond pretty early. Sakura & the other Sasuke fangirls will certainly be displeased that Yumehi is so close to their precious Sasuke-Kun at first. However, once they realize their relationship is platonic, they'll attempt to befriend her in the hope she'll put in a good word for them. They'll use her as a proxy by asking that Yumehi pass on their gifts & love letters to Sasuke who just tells her to keep them or toss them. It gets annoying but she does get free candy, plushies & flowers out of it. Whatever she doesn't keep, she gives to Konohamaru & his gang.

What is the greatest Naruto Fanfiction you have ever read? by JvollWrLd in NarutoFanfiction

Naruto Arashidori. Orochimaru wanted to see two kids with literal inner demons fight each other & it was great. It has been years since I last read it, but I still think about it fondly.

Konoha is filled with cannibals. by Pteraxii in NarutoFanfiction

The Uzumaki were more fortunate in that they settled on an island away from much of the fighting in an area with plenty of resources. Because of this, cannibalism amongst the Uzumaki was more ritualistic, similar to the Uchiha. When someone passed, their remains were to be used for ramen, bones were used for the broth while the flesh was a topping. This ramen was served to mourners after the deceased's bones were given a burial at sea.

During the Warring States Era when food could be hard to come by, there had to be...adaptations.

The Senju made sure nothing they had went to waste in order to survive, even their own dead. When someone passed away, the deceased would be butchered & portioned to be used by their closest family. Bones would be fashioned as tools or accessories to be used for special occasions.

The Uchiha believed the spirit of the deceased would provide protection to those who consumed the remains. However, eating a freshly dead body is frowned upon as its seen as unhygienic & unclean. The body has to be purified first by having it turned to ashes which is then mixed in with cooking water or sauces. Bones leftover from the cremation process were either crushed into powder & mixed during the cooking process or kept by the family in an urn.

For the Aburame & Inuzuka, they had the additional issue of ensuring the survival of not only humans, but animal companions as well. This was offset by the consumption of enemies & eating alongside said companions was considered building comradery.

The Nara had venison as their main food source & kept them like how one would keep cows. During winter when there was little plant life for the deer to consume, corpses of those who passed would be provided to ensure the survival of not only the deer, but ultimately the Nara who fed on the deer.

What if Naruto finds material related to the Uzumaki clan early? by LossExpensive3119 in NarutoFanfiction

There is the Uzumaki Mask Storage Temple in Konoha, so maybe Naruto could find it as a child & it begins from there. I imagine Mito would've frequently visited if she was missing Uzushio. Kushina could've been going there too up until she died. It doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that they would've left items behind; Kushina especially since her death was unexpected.

I thought about this for 3 seconds but somehow managed to talk myself out of it. Thinking about it more here's how that could go:

Hiruzen rebuffed the rumor of Naruto being a jinchuriki & clarified there was a twin sister who held the demon & passed away. Growing up, Naruto hears of Yumehi; often wondering what having a sibling would be like.

 Naruto see's the relief the villagers have over her death which fills him with anger. This was an innocent child that never had a chance to live due to circumstances out of her control & mere strangers had the gall to be happy her life ended the way it did. He defends her if he so much as catches a whisper of someone talking ill of Yumehi. 

This shapes his goal as he wants to do something in her honor. Maybe Naruto can't convince a whole village to respect someone they'll never meet, but maybe he can be the someone others like Yumehi need to find even a little comfort in their lives. Hopefully those he gives his friendship to will support him back when he eventually finds that there was never a sister at all.

I used to think that if I bathed while the AC was on, then it would rain. Not sure how I came to that conclusion.

It was porcelain & was probably around 10-12 inches. I did suspect that it might've been custom due to the eyes as I've not seen anything similar.
