Self Promoting Random Snippets From My Fic Even Though I Have Exactly One (1) Post? More Likely Than

Self promoting random snippets from my fic even though I have exactly one (1) post? More likely than you'd think!

Context:

Naruto just wants to befriend Gaara, why is everyone acting as if he is about to die?

Cuts to Kankuro about to have a heart attack

I feel like a lot of people don't give Obito the respect he deserves, and mostly because they tend to disregard his actual reasons

There's a lot of jokes about Obito never getting over Rin, but many people actually think everything he ever did was indeed to see her again; and yes, while he does aim to see her again on Tsukuyomi, including talking about how the 'Rin of this world cannot be real, because to be real she had to be alive' that's not the actual reason for all he did.

Obito's story isn't supposed to be about a lover who lost his precious person, but about a man who lost all hope in the entire world, not just his world. Obito himself calls Kakashi out for thinking that all he did was because of him and Rin.

While, as a fictional history it may be easy for us to choose reality over ilusion, in the ninja world where everyone faces death everyday, you have to agree that the chance to live a happy, peaceful life, even if it's under a genjutsu, would be a choice many would choose. Hell, most people in our world would choose it as well.

Tldr: What made Obito rebel wasn't Rin's death, but the circumstances of the world that allowed it to happen.

ALSO! Consider the human freakiness:

Obito is half plant. Like, he has Hashirama's cells AND half of his body is Zetsu. Just consider: an photosynthetic no-need-for-food, not-breathing, half-my-body-is-artificial, maniacal Uchiha who has maybe one or two healthy neurons, since the rest is all burning with inherent insanity.

Also, he's hard to kill. Insanely, comically hard to kill. You cut his arm? No problem, he will just find a Zetsu and glue another one in place

The most important thing to remember while writing Obito is that he is a freak. You are legally obligated to have him say, think or do something that will make the reader go "hey obito what the fuck" every other paragraph. He is not allowed to be normal.

That goes double for any time he is anywhere near Kakashi, who is also a freak but in a different way, and who only makes Obito more insane

Wild take but what if Sasuke... Revengen't? Like, just live your life crazy boy, rebel by ignoring your sociopathic brother's request

Itachi: if you want reveng-

Sasuke: you JUST killed our parents I'm NOT listening to you

Itachi:

Sasuke: I'm DRINKING my daily water and going to SLEEP and having GOOD dreams SAYONARA

The closest Gaara ever gets to trying to kill Lee again is when Lee wakes him up at the crack of dawn to train (it's a daily occurrence)

I saw him today and had to doodle him between working
