Chuunin - A Naruto Community

I wouldn't be surprised, yo.
When I first saw Neji and Hinata, I was like, "Omg, they both look the same! Or is it just me? *nervous giggle*" Such obvious family traits. ^D^

I always hoped the Uchihas intermarried with the Hyuugas...but I doubt it. Sasuke with purple eyes! yey! "I'm blind! Someone help me..."

From:

At least I'm not alone. =D

I think it could go either way as well, because every Uchiha we've seen (with the exception of Sasuke's mom - but I don't even think she's a ninja) has had the Uchiha Creepy Eyes(TM) as well.

I'm sure there could be a million reasons why we don't see the non-creepyeyed family members, if there are any. Unfortunately, most of my ideas are in relation to patriarchal societies and make the feminist in me rage. -.-;;

From:

If the inbreeding went on for so long it would result in deformities and mental retardation. My vote is the Bykuagan (sp?) gene is so strong it shows up in the kid regardless of whether it comes from one or both parents. I think that family is so arrogant that in-laws aren't considered "true" clan members..or something. Hence not being in the family group gatherings.

Yeah, Sasuke's mom was a ninja as well. ^_^

In the databook it says she was a jounin.

From:

agreed on the patriarchy thing. Stupid world run by men. WAR! BLOOD! KILL MY TWIN COS I'M A LOSER! RAAWR!

ok...

I'll stop now...

From:

The other day I read a fic where it was suggested the Uchiha and Hyuuga clan were once the same. I think it makes sense, the Baky-why can't I spell?!-always seemed to me, to be a weaker version of the Sharingan. I can totally see a reality where aaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago the clans were one, then the first B. was a deformity, that person was outcast or something..then it showed up again, and voila, after years, there is a new clan. or something. X_X

From:

What databook?

I totally hate that female ninjas are so disregarded. "why bother learning to be a ninja? your chakra is weaker and you'll just have to become a housewife anyway!" aauugh.

From:

Well, it's mentioned in the manga and the anime that The Uchihas were thought to have originated from the Hyuugas anyway. So, which family would be considered the throwback?

From:

You learn something every day. =D

Wonder if she still went on missions, or if female ninjas (the official term escapes my mind) pretty much give up "ninja life" when the babies come along.
That would suck, in my opinion - to get to jounin level and then have to give up all that you've worked for to take care of kids...
But then again, me + kids = complete loss of sanity. So it's probably just me.

From:

oh okay. I don't read the manga so I'm missing a huge chunk of canon knowledge.
I think the Sharingan is more powerful, and I guess that would make sense genetically if considered an evolution. I always wondered why the hell Sasuke doesn't use it the same way Kakashi does. Why isn't he copying other people's techniques likesayidunno Rasengan, the same way Kakashi copied Zabuza's water techniques?

2nd databook.

Female ninjas are not disregarded. Not within the story at least.

Kunoichi.

It always fascinates me that so many people seem to think raising children is such a lowly and unworthy thing for a person to do...

From:

I think Sasuke has been copying the techniques. I wouldn't be surprised if, when we see him again, he uses rasengan or something against Naruto.

I personally prefer the Byakugan over the Sharingan. As far as I know, it's got a nice strong base and admittedly hasn't evolved much, like sharingan, but it isn't damaging like the new sharingan thingy. *too tired to look for details*
I like the whole, "I seee youuuuu, even from over heeeeere!"

From:

Yes, I imagine that the Byakugan (the spelling! Hate. So much. *gonk*) is a dominant gene.
I think your theory makes loads of sense. My kind of logic.

It also seems that the clan families are extremely patriarchal, at least to me. The few females you see (only one or two) are the mothers of the children. Other than that, women are seemingly nonexistant.
I'd also highly doubt any of them died in childbirth, being that the Narutoverse has mad skillz in medicine. So my bet is that in their mind, Men pwn Women. Kinda sad, really.

From:

uh I mean what *is* a databook.
I think if they have to have a seperate word to say specifically "FEMALE ninja" then it's a bit of a disregard. like not-so-long-ago in the real word when the first women in professions were called "lady doctor" or "lady judge".

From:

Thank you. Let's see me try and remember that tomorrow. =/

Heh, I'm just jaded. I think of it like going to cegep and university - what's the point of going, working super hard to get your degrees, paying countless amount of cash (and maybe even getting into debt) if you're just going to end up having kids after you get out of uni?
My mom went to secretary school, but stopped working when she had me and my sister. She only started working again recently, now that we're old enough to take care of ourselves. But, in the 20 some odd years she's been out of work, word processing went from typewriters and shorthand to Microsoft Word.
/end ramble

Beh. Like I said, I'm just jaded. I know for a fact (having a handicapped sister and me being a hellion) that raising kids takes loads of patience. I just don't have that patience and can't stand most children. V_V;;

From:

*snort GIGGLE!* I love that about it too. Oh christ, you've plotbunnied me.
Neiji: I'm bored. *reads porn over kakashi's shoulder*

but Sasuke has seen the rasengan before. If he could've learned it from the fight on the hospital roof, why not use it during the fight on the waterfall? If it's within his chakra range, I think he should be using it. I can understand him not using the mass shadow clone technique cause that's really not his style. but for the life of me I can't think of any technique Sasuke has copied off someone else after seeing them do it. As far as I know, the Sharingan is ...I dunno, either Sasuke sucks at it because he has no one to train him how to use it, or he doesn't want to use it like kakashi cause he think copying is lame.

From:

Sasuke with purple eyes!
Mary-sue Sasuke? 0_o

There are two databooks now; they basically have a little biography of each character and their stats and some facts about them, like favourite foods and life philosophy and stuff. Then at the back, they have a section about jutsu. They're in Japanese of course and due to their size there isn't a complete translation of either of them, though people are working on it I think and lots of sections have been done and can be found. ^^

I don't see 'kunoichi' as disrespectful. But different people have different levels of sensitivity about it I guess.

From:

Women in Naruto suck in general. I've long been nursing an essay about how disapointing that is.
Men: We go off to war and get killed! you there! reproduce so my blood limit doesn't die with me!
Women: duuuh okay! :D

From:

Yeah, maybe Sasuke likes to stick within Uchiha things, like the Katon-yadda-yadda jutsus etc (Katon could mean bum, the way my spelling goes).
*snort* it'd be funny if he had this awesome sharingan but was never taught how to use it (which apparently, he wasn't) and he's been wandering around going "fire-ball flowers, like daisies! whee!" when he could've been making volcanoes erupt and elephants have babies.

From:

I certainly hope not...
Unless he had matching clothes xD

From:

I think Sasuke's so busy trying to attain the Mangekyou or a new level of Sharingan that he can't see other options as much. However, I could see him copying another's technique if he considers it powerful enough.
