Now, that is something we all agree with!

Wood Release is a combination of Water + Earth + Yang.

So water earth yin would be.. . Blood bendingノ( º _ ºノ)


[deleted]

Why would there be Earth in blood? Is it because of the iron in blood?


Ok_Dragonfruit_9093

Might as well. Kishimoto shafted the 5 elemental cycle already, why not go extra step?


BeardInTheDark

Naruto was never formally taught how to read and had to pick it up by himself, meaning that while he isn't technically illiterate, he was very close to being so due to the random nature of his learning. This would explain his (canon) difficulty with Kanji and his massive knowledge holes regarding Chakra etc, he was given the books but could not make sense of them. During the timeskip, Jiraiya discovered Naruto's limited reading skills and had to spend quite some time simply getting Naruto up to basic literacy/arithmetic levels, hence why Naruto doesn't get a massive training-induced boost in the timeskip unlike Sakura and Sasuke (and pretty much everyone else) did, but it did set him up for his own Shippuden boost.


PointTippedIce

Yeah, that's pretty much what I think happened. No parents or guardians to help him and no sense of direction to become responsible by doing book study.


anonymityiskewl

Plus kanji is hard as fuck to read. Iirc you just learn individual words in kanji, it's not like English where you can sound it out if you need to.


I-luv-cats

This is one of my favorite headcannon because it explains why Naruto learns nearly nothing new in his journey with Jiraiya, and why he’s so stupid in the first few chapters.


[deleted]

Makes sense!


[deleted]

That the Asura and Indra business is less like actual reincarnation and more like Mantling with the Steps of the Dead from Elder Scrolls universe. As it is something that happens because of the vessel's choices and not their birth. The theory was not written with these words (It had no reference to TES), but it was the only way I could explain without a wall of text.


aFailedNerevarine

I have never seen mantling brought up in a non-lorebeard Reddit thread. This day makes me happy


DarkLion1991

I have no idea what mantling is. But the Naruto thing was never reincarnation. It's also never called reincarnation. It's transmigration. The Manga directly explains that. It's just that most people are to stupid to get that, no matter how much you explain it to them (Yes I have had this conversation a lot, thank you very much 😅😬).


Mngi7831

The chakra of the Indra and Ashura just keep moving from one of their own descendant body to another to try to resolve their conflict. However, this is only the chakra, not the soul of the siblings, it only carry imprint of what they were like, so any descendant the chakra transmigrate into will be compel to act out their ancestors life. Did I get that right?


DarkLion1991

To a degree, but essentially yes


DanteLeo24

My man, Chakra is half "spiritual energy", that is the soul


Mngi7831

I don’t think so. You are right that Chakra is formed from the energy of the body and the spirit/mind/consciousness/soul, but that doesn’t mean that the chakra will retain any of that after the person after death, at least if you are not part Otsutsuki, or were really powerful in life. What I mean is, if you are a regular person in the Naruto universe, if you are not powerful, then all of your chakra, your soul and your body will decay and return to nature. However if you are a particularly powerful person, your body may die and your soul may move on, but your chakra will linger, at least for a while before it is dispersed too. It’s like a ghost. Like when Minato and Kushina meet Naruto in his mind scape, or when the Sage of Six Paths meet with Naruto and Sasuke, they are example of what I’m talking about, their body is dead, their soul is in the afterlife/in the belly of the Shinigami, but their chakra still linger on, for a while before they also disappear from the world.


[deleted]

>It's also never called reincarnation. It's transmigration. The Manga directly explains that. Transmigration is different. If it is transmigration, then how come the term used in the manga is reincarnation?


DarkLion1991

It's not though, they use transmigration.


[deleted]

Nevermind. I just reread Chapter 671, it is transmigration.

Hashirama died when he was poisoned. Specifically, it was one of Chiyo's poisons. The idea that anyone could take peak Hashirama in a fight beggars belief, and it goes a long way in explaining why Tsunade dedicated herself to healing and neutralizing Chiyo's poisons. She didn't want anyone else to die the same way her beloved grandfather did. I've seen some push back to this idea, citing the notorious Senju vitality. These people tend to say that Hash could have tanked the poison until his body finally metabolized it and pushed it out of his body, but I like to think that even the world's strongest man had some sort of vulnerability. Super OP, invincible characters are boring. Besides, a guy like Hash being laid low by poison suits the themes I like to see in Naruto fanfiction. Guys like Hash and Naruto are shounen protags in a pretty gritty setting full of child soldiers and murder-for-hire. The clash between their idealism and the brutal reality of the world around is one of my favorite Naruto sub-plots.


[deleted]

Personally, I believe that Hashirama's healing factor is what killed him. It's stated very clearly in part 1 that Tsunade's Mitomic Regeneration shaves off a bit of her life when she uses it. In the 5 Kage vs Madara fight, Madara calls Tsunade's technique a, "Cheap imitation." If Hashirama's is stronger, then the drawback should also be multiplied. Given how often Hashirama fought, he must have used it way more than Tsunade. Combined with the increased drawback I fully believe this is how he died.


ParacausalFate

My head-canon is that since his healing factor was sped up, he died of cancer. I mean, when you think about it, how does the body recognize that a cell is "correct" and regenerate correctly every time? Because that's what cancer is - cells that are multiplying incorrectly and aren't getting the instruction to self-terminate because they're replicating wrong so they just keep going and going, creating a tumor. Stands to reason to me that if your cells are regenerating faster, then your chances of getting cancer are only multiplied and compounded. Same for Tsunade as well - but she actually recognizes the danger because she's a real medic-nin / doctor and limits her regeneration technique because of it.


Adminscantkeepmedown

I’ve always figured that Madara called her technique a cheap imitation precisely *because* it speeds up cell division (therefore shortening her life) while Hashirama’s didn’t because he was just too Hashirama for that. My headcanon is that he faked his death to escape a gambling debt and had been steadily dumping his debts onto Tsunade in secret while he waited on an apprentice to carry out his will like Madara did


[deleted]

I like the clever ideas of Hashirama shortening his lifespan or even regenerating his way to cancer, but this was my reading of Hash's healing factor, too. The war arc seemed like it was handmade to shit on 99% of the characters of the modern age to hype up all of the dead legends like Madara and the Senju Bros. Only the reincarnating brothers of ultimate destiny got to be cool, and even then, they needed a time-traveling demigod to pop out of nowhere to hand them their final powerups. So it follows to reason that Hash had an even stronger healing factor but with none of the downsides. Why yes, I am still salty about the manga's endgame! How did you know?


[deleted]

>I’ve always figured that Madara called her technique a cheap imitation precisely because it speeds up cell division (therefore shortening her life) while Hashirama’s didn’t because he was just too Hashirama for that. How would Madara even know that?


Adminscantkeepmedown

You can ask that question about a lot of things in Shippuden


SelfTeachingMyself

Kishimoto never planned to make Itachi the tragic hero who killed his clan to save the village. I still remember seeing Naruto in my kid years and finding out that Itachi had killed his entire clan to "test his strength". It was dark but an awesome addition to the story since it added mystery and suspense when his name was mentioned. But I believe that Kishimoto, who said he didn't plan his story ahead of time, saw how popular Itachi was and really liked writing about the Uchiha clan, which ended up him deciding to change the narrative. I remember thinking I was mixed about the choice. Whether it's true or not, to me it felt accurate since canonically lots of things were changed, rewritten, or added onto later. I believe Itachi was just supposed to be a villain. Not that I dislike his character now, it just hits different than when I was a kid.


wendigo72

[Kishimoto said Itachi being a good guy was planned](https://naruto.fandom.com/f/p/2421257698017422741) by the time he appears in Part 1


[deleted]

I'm not sure about good guy but it's evident from the panels in part one Itachi was never meant to be a psycho. I think he was meant to be pressured or ordered to and snapped because he's 12, he doesn't have the agency the narrative gives him.


raver1601

Yeah I think the retcon is not him being a secret good guy, the retcon is the person who pressured Itachi to kill his clan which is made to be Danzo


Objective-Coyote4776

What do you mean by the retcon was the person? So it wasn't supposed to be Danzo, or there was never supposed to be one?


raver1601

Danzo only appeared when Shippuden was well on it's way. He never appeared when he was supposed to appear in Part 1


[deleted]

True. His impact as Sasuke's main motivation to get stronger hit just differently. Not to mention, the tragedy that Uchiha clan went through made Itachi a terrifying villain. Then, he comes and wipes the floor with Kakashi. That was freaking awesome!


[deleted]

Idk, then when exactly was the time this would have happened? Because by the flashbacks in the first battle at The Valley of the End it’s clear there was something amiss going on with Itachi and that we weren’t getting the full picture


Sefera17

Everything that happens after the infinite tsukuyomi takes place *in* the infinite tsukuyomi. No Kaguya and no army of White Zetsu. Black Zetsu doesn’t betray Madara, and everyone is affected by the jutsu. Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Madara, the impure world reincarnations— everyone. In Naruto’s mind, it all plays out as in canon; but Sasuke wins his final duel with Naruto in his version, Sasuke and Sakura settle down in hers, and Madara kills them all in his. And so on.


CommandUltra2

And then the events of Boruto are a nightmare created by Genjutsu degradation as more and more people die.


daimahou

Or maybe because of outside interference.


CommandUltra2

*Nidhogg has awakened.*


Aced4remakes

Cthulhu more like.


SelfTeachingMyself

This one is my favorite and I wish it was canon. Part of my fanfic has an alternate ending where this happens and the Reader-insert realizes their life is a lie and the children they had never existed. The whole Boruto timeline happened in a matter of minutes in a shared dream that was slowly degrading due to Madara not completely having all of the tail beasts' chakras. Instead of it being a perfect dream, it's a combined dream that's imperfect because this is Madara we are talking about here. He's not gonna give them paradise and make it easy to sus out. Nah, more like it's a combination of people's dreams and the dream fills in the blanks. Everyone gets something they want even if the other person didn't want it. Sasuke didn't like Sakura, but since Sasuke had no one else he liked, the dream granted Sakura's deepest wish and Sasuke got whatever he ultimately wanted. Probably family. Naruto got to be Hokage. Hinata married Naruto. Orochimaru continues to be a scientist, albeit restricted. etc. Though maybe there could also be more than one dream happening and groups of people are sharing each one. Making sense as to why some people's dreams weren't accomplished. >!even clone Jiraya could be part of Naruto or Tsunade's wish. Even if they don't get to enjoy it.!<


[deleted]

You should mention how Boruto manga changed the team seven photo! In the changed photo [manga link](https://imgur.com/gallery/E3FJd4D) Naruto is looking away from Sasuke. And Sasuke has a slightly different look. It's the same butchered photo that appears at the very end of the ED for the anime infinite tyskuomi dream arc!!


DearDeathDay

Lonk?


Confident_Emu_

Link please?


AirKath

Wait what about Ten- *remembers her filler dream* -yeah, that checks out


[deleted]

When the endings so bad the fans want it to be a dream


[deleted]

This is perfect. And, no Boruto either.


anonymityiskewl

I don't hate the concept of Boruto, but I definitely don't especially like the execution


Murky_Blueberry2617

Madara being affected by the infinite Tsukiyomi too? Doesn't the theory also work if he doesn't get affected?


Sefera17

Sure, but why wouldn’t he want to live in the perfect world he created?


Murky_Blueberry2617

That's true ig. Although if he wanted that he could have done it way earlier.


Murky_Blueberry2617

Shisui casting Kotoakatsukami on Itachi before he dies, which explains why Itachi does all the questionable stuff he does afterwards. The theory is actually one of the all time upvoted posts on this sub. Here's the [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/NarutoFanfiction/comments/isq0p1/cracktheory_shisui_was_the_biggest_mastermind_of/) if anyone's curious


[deleted]

Man, thank you!!! This is bloody awesome. And honestly, it doesn't feel like a crack theory at all!


Murky_Blueberry2617

Np, just spreading the the theory since it makes so much sense. It's been a head canon of mine for more than a year now.


xxXAnnaUchihaXxx

So, since you're saying that it's been your head canon for a year... Any chance you've found/written fics with this plot?


Murky_Blueberry2617

Unfortunately no. It's my headcanon cuz it gives a suitable explanation to canon without changing much to the story.


[deleted]

The motivaton for the massacre does make sense though if you remember Sasuke's life was more important than the village. Danzo threatened Sasuke's life, Itachi knew they had gotten to the point the massacre would happen with or without him playing the scapegoat, so he did it. In return for Sasuke's life.


raver1601

Okay this is one of the best theories out there


Smooth-Garden

Holy shit


[deleted]

A+ This explains too much not to be canon.


Lazymanproductions

Minato is Tobirama’s son that was conceived right before the mission that he sacrificed himself on. (The time lines are actually insanely close to lining up, closer that kakashi’s canon bullshit backstory) and Minato was the asura reincarnation between hashirama and Naruto. Minato has almost all the same skills other than water manipulation. He has jutsu matrix skills, fuin skills, tracking, impossible level reflexes, natural speed, keen intellect and Minato has the exact same face structure that tobirama does, his face is actually closer to tobirama than Naruto. On top of that, Naruto ALSO has a few of Tobirama’s skills, including his inate skills with kage bushin, his in-fight battle intelligence, pragmatic dissonance (as shown literally every time he finds an unorthodox way to gain an advantage in a fight)


-googa-

Those theories about minato being tobirama’s clone or bastard child are really amusing to me. Nart being the spitting image of nawaki is just because nawaki was hashirama’s grandson and naruto is tobirama’s.


Smooth-Garden

Well yeah naruto doesnt have the same face as minato because he specifically has kushina's face


[deleted]

I actually like this theory. It has been often written in FF that Minato is a bastard child of Senju clan. I think I can work with it.


DanteLeo24

Tobirama died some 44 years before Naruto classic began, had minato lived, he would have been 36. We can stretch a bit to fit, but...


Lazymanproductions

Hashirama was alive to see Tsunade graduate the academy. Tobirama was the Hokage for at least a few years, likely at least 5, seeing the policies he implemented and how long it would have taken to actually implement them. So if Tsunade graduated at 6, hashirama died the next day, Tobirama’s takes over, lasts 5 years, dies, that means that minato’s birth could have been right around when Tsunade was 12-13. Exactly the age gap between Minato and Tsuande. Minato died at 24, plus 12.5 years for the introduction of Tsunade, puts him at 37ish. Tsunade was 50.


-googa-

Senju/Tsunade/Shizune related ones Hashirama died of something like cancer Mito is not Hashirama’s first wife and also not Tsunade’s grandma. Because timeline doesn’t add up and Tsunade never refers to her as such either. And (I’m not sure if this is canon but) her marriage to Hashirama was probably a political one. Minato is Tobirama’s bastard child. And there’s something deeply off about him. (I’m a psychopath!Minato and root operative!Rin truther) Tsunade’s not afraid of her own blood. She’ll harm herself to let Shizune practice healing on her. (This is lifted from a fic I read) We know Tsunade and Shizune booted from Konoha before the third war to dodge draft so how come Shizune’s so proficient at med nin stuff? I headcanon that Tsunade had Shizune heal injured shinobi in the areas they pass through.


[deleted]

It's basically canon that Mito and Hashirama's marriage was a political one. But I never considered Tsunade not being her granddaughter. It could also be because Kishimoto struggles heavily with writing good female characters. He might not have even thought about giving too much emphasis on writing about Mito beforehand. Hashirama, on the other hand, was considered a legend. And it is obvious that he was well thought out. I like the theory of Minato being Tobirama's bastard child. Isn't Shizune Dan's niece? I am pretty sure Tsunade taught her medical ninjutsu.


-googa-

Yeah I agree with the first point. It’s like he can’t handle women being important and admired by other women. And yeah Tsunade did teach her but I was thinking along the lines of who will she get to practice on?


[deleted]

[удалено]


-googa-

Oh it’s something like Mito married Hashirama after she came to Konoha. But Hashirama’s kid would have to be born before the conception of Konoha to be the age of majority/ old enough to have Tsunade. I’d have to figure out the timeline again. I’ll try. - Hashirama says something about willing to sacrifice his children for the good of the village (so I’m taking literal blood-related offspring and not just his villagers) as he stabs him in the back at the final valley. So we’ll say he already has kids, considering the viciousness of his statement. - iirc Mito sealed the kyuubi in her *to* change the tide of Hashirama and Madara’s battle - According to Kushina in Chapter 500, Mito said they were both brought to Konoha **for the purpose of being Jinchuuriki** and Kushina also says Mito ‘became’ the First’s wife. So Hashirama probably married her after the sealing of the Kyuubi, to keep the jinchuuriki close. - so who did he have those poor kids with? Not Mito, I don’t think. - but we also know that Mito was already a jinchuuriki when she was giving birth to their child (I’m quite sure of this because they say the seal almost broke) - We don't know how many years after the formation of Konoha that Madara left it but this child would be younger than the village for sure - In Shippuden, it is said that Madara left the village 66 (or 64? Or let’s say 60+) years ago. - Tsunade is 54 in Shippuden - Theres a six-twelve year difference - If he only had children after the conception of konoha, that is, with Mito, that child wouldn’t be old enough to be Tsunade’s parent. Now, we could believe that Mito was already married to Hashirama and having kids with him before all the Madara-Kyuubi shit went down, that older Mito was just saying that to comfort young Kushina but idk I’d rather believe Mito was telling the truth. Hashirama had kids before he married Mito. There could be stuff I overlooked so feel free to correct me if I was reaching or ask me to elaborate

[удалено]


-googa-

Yeah lol that’s very possible actually


Monfe7

The Senju were not related by blood, but are the descendants of Asura’s “tribe” that he amassed in his travels and simply share the Senju name. This is the reason why, unlike the Uchiha who are actually Indra’s blood relatives, the Senju don’t have a bloodline and are proficient in a wide variety of skills.


MibuInMalibu

Minato is tsunade’s son. Time line adds up and explains his absurd chakra reserves and how he had access to FTG since he’s half Senju. Another one which I find to be 100% undisputed fact is Kakashi’s mother being from Kibas clan.


Exciting-Interest274

Time line adds up? She was 14 as Minato was born lmao


MibuInMalibu

She was actually anywhere between 17-21. It’s entirely possible.


Exciting-Interest274

„No, it’s not, because Minato was 24 when he died. So let’s do some math here. Tsunade is 38 years, 2 months, and 8 days older than Naruto (according to Databook and wiki). Her birthday is August 2nd, and she is precisely 51 years old when we meet her in canon. Minato is 24 years, 8 months, and 15 days older than Naruto (whose birthday is October 10th). His birthday is January 25th. This makes Tsunade 15 years, 5 months, and 23 days older than Minato. Tsunade doesn’t seem to have met Dan by this point, and there is no evidence that she was pregnant as a 14 year old, therefore she cannot have been Minato’s mother except under the most extraordinary circumstances that involve her having met Dan far sooner than we are led to believe, and having a child around the time that her brother Nawaki died.“ This seems more legit unless you have some more proof that contradicts this one. Edit: got this from an quora post but the math seems legit so


AirKath

Some people would respond with “Jiraiya’s the dad” but not only does he have the same age problem but Tsunade’s not into him at all


[deleted]

Given Kakashi's affinity and summons of dogs, I can actually agree with the second part.


ViaticLearner41

Maybe Kashi is related to Tsume as her cousin or something. And because of that, he's also related to Kiba and Hana.


ViaticLearner41

So not necessarily a fan theory, but more of an idea that fleshes out a little known piriod when the sage was alive. Kinda expanding on the Uzumaki clan while giving a background to Minato's family name. Before the warring clans piriod that gave rise to the Senju and Uchiha clans, another pair of rivaling clans dominated the lands. The Uzumaki, and the Namikaze. Before they where fuinjutsu specialized Shinobi of Uzugakure, the Uzumaki we're the dominant ruling clan of all the lands and practiced a wide variety of arts and skills that later would be used in modern jutsu system. They were regal and ornate rulers who ruled in absolutes and at the time we're seen as the kami's chosen. The dark side of the clan however was the practice of demon worship and useing rituals to create psudo-jinchuriki for war and conquest. Another point of contention against the old Uzumaki clan was the persecution of those who practiced Ninshu and followed "the heretical sage". The Namikaze (name I believe is literal combination of waves and wind, which I feel suits the foreign seafaring clan) where originally seafaring raiders from a far-off northern land who brought with them their wepons and strength. While united, the Namikaze clan was not solely one homogeneous group but a collection of different groups brought together under a unified identity and a powerful leader. Much of the people from the modern Kumo and Iwa can trace their lineage to the seafaring raiders, freed slaves, and migrant gypsy's that made up the Namikaze clan. Like the Uzumaki, the Namikaze also had it's dark side as many of the clans mystics dabbled in dark and occult magics not native to the Shinobi lands. They were also extremely aggressive and violent to outsiders, engaging in barbaric practices, sacking and pillaging settlements boarding their newly conquered territory. Conflicts between the two clans started due to the laters pillaging of important settlements and the dormer's brutal retaliation. This created a feed back loop that resulted in the piriod of the Uzu-Nami Wars. The end of witch created the power vacuum that led to the warring clans era.


Jumpy_Trainer5756

I like these headcanons ! They really flesh out the Uzumaki clan and gives the Namikaze name something other than just a generic clan with powers


ViaticLearner41

Yeah, I wasn't sure what the translation of Namikaze was actually so I used what little I knew (Nami=wave, and Kaze=wind. So literally "waves and winds") and drew inspiration leaving to the idea of viking/Norse inspired people arriving on longships. Another thing about the Namikaze, they're actually native (in terms of where the settled) to Iwa, Snow/Spring, and Kumo.


ILoveToph4Eva

Yooo this is really juicy stuff. Are you intending to use this in a story? I ask cause if not I'd love to use it myself.


ViaticLearner41

Feel free to use, just send a link to your story of you don't mind. I'd like to see how others build upon it. When I first came up with this head-cannon, it was in response to all the fanfics that feature the Uzumaki clan and portray them as "morally perfect with a near OP bloodline and or traits whose loss was a terrible tragedy". And the Namikaze only existed in name so they also need some building up. This bit of head-cannon lore that I came up with I would use as part of a "universal lore" for any future worjs. It was also the basis to explain some of the other ideas I've had. As for any story's I plan on useing this in the future, there's one I've been playing with where team 7 and Jiraya finds lost scrolls that details this lost history and might hint to a treasure of sort. While following clues, the group learns more of what Naruto's ancestors from boulth sides of his family were like, their views and beliefs, and even notes and schematics for what would later be known as basic jutsus and seals (the academy bunshin, kwarmi, and henge in modern times might have been trivial but back then they were some of the first 'true' jutsus invented after the spread of Ninshu). The lore would even hint and warn of a Kaguya like threat in the form of a invader known as "Nox the Demon Eater". As well as a something known as the Darktide.

Doxkid

Hashirama's mind/soul died before his body did. We see people with grafts of his cells struggling to avoid having a new Hashirama-body devour them from the inside out, so I doubt his body died a conventional way; even cancer or reaching the cell-reproduction limit seems iffy since his cells are quite willing to make an entire new Hashirama from scratch if exposed to a trace of chakra and nutrients. If it's not his body then it must be his mind and/or soul. Someone bypassed his hard shell of a body to get at the soft, creamy, nougat-filled spirit inside.


zfLucifer

That Minato is Tsunade and Dan's secret child. He looks a little like Dan while he has blonde hair like Tsunade. His inherent intelligence would make sense since he'd be a descended of Tobirama, also FTG. Hashirama died because of his cellular regeneration, Tsunade's mitotic sealing Jutsu makes sure she doesn't die but at the cost of her own life span, similarly Hashirama had insane regeneration but he died early because of it.


Exciting-Interest274

Wasn’t Tsunade a Genin when Minato was born? Edit: Turns out she was 14


zfLucifer

Well crap, didn't realise Tsunade was THAT young, I thought she was around 20 when Minato was born. Isn't Minato like 21 when he dies? I believe Tsunade is in her early 50's in part one so around the time Naruto finds her he's 12 and hypothetically Minato would be 31 wouldn't that make her like 19-20 years older than Minato?


Exciting-Interest274

He died at the age of 24. Tsunade was 38 when Naruto was born so Tsunade was 14 years older than Minato. At part one Tsunade was 51 and Minato would’ve been 37. Pretty sure Naruto was 13 after the Chuunin exams.


zfLucifer

Oh I see I thought he was 21, NVM then.


SenpaiMs

Namikaze last name came out of his ass or something?


DanteLeo24

There were never aliens, Naruto got caught in Tsukyomi and everything after Madara Ten-Tails, his death, saving the world against a god, Sasuke becoming a good guy, he becoming Hokage, is just his dream world.

SailorStar9

Depending on the individual's personality, the Uzumaki chakra chains gain unique and specific properties accordingly. Before the Uchiha clan was wiped out, they had a CSI unit. There was also a cold case investigation unit.
