Bring on the Ponies: The Further Adventures of Sasuke Uchiha

[beachlass]

So, you might remember back in February na_no_nai the misfortune pleasure of hosting a series of drabbles in her comments thread about Sasuke and his ponies.

Well.

My son's Sasuke figurine has been living in one of my cupholders in the car for the last week or so. I'm slightly creeped out in the mornings, when I have to move Sasuke out of the way for my travel mug, but I've been polite, and he hasn't unleashed snakes or a katon-no-jutsu on me yet, so it's been ok, all things considered. Until the day that my son pipes up from the back seat, and tells me that Sasuke likes hanging out in the cupholder because it's his hot tub. "Sasuke likes chillin' in his hot tub", the eight year old informs me. "Uh huh" I reply, glancing at Sasuke sitting in the cupholder. It is just about the right size for a hot tub actually. "He's waiting for his ponies" the boy in the back seat adds. "He likes to hang out in the hot tub naked with his ponies." This is the point at which I damn near drive off the road. Because somehow, it just seems sort of plausible, in that platonic boy and his pony kind of way.

And the whole Sasuke and his ponies thing was just delicious over the top fruitcake craziness, to lighten the tormented emo-kid bent on revenge. And then this week's chapter (which, clearly, I just got around to tonight) NINJA CATS??? Honestly. Might as well be ponies. Ninja Cats??? I saw that on an icon earlier in the week, and assumed someone was fooling around with the text... I didn't think it was really from the scanlations.

sigh.

However, the ninja cats and Juugo channeling Scarlet O'Hara by wrapping himself in the curtains was utterly redeemed by the appearance of Kiba, Shino and Hinata. Except when I realized that Kakashi seems to be leading them because apparently Kurenai is completely useless now that she's pregnant. grr.....

um. That's my fan ranting quota for the day.

(and yes this came from a conversation about Sasuke naked with ponies in a hottub)

Unless there is something more than just genetic with bloodline traits. Which would make sense, since Orochimaru can clone people -- oe whatever he did to make the #1 Ninja to take with you camping ... but out of all the clones, he was the only one to develope the 3rds wood abilities.

Or at least I think cause I'm all manga searched out to go digging for it :) So maybe boodlines have somethign more than genetic going for them, like the (and enter the land of pure guesswork) like the chakra of the parent does something to the sperm or egg that causes it to develope a certain way to have that ability?

Or it's the ninja kitten's fault.

Like, you develop the blood line limit depending on the chakra network of the mothers womb?

Sooo, the uchida bloodline's dead cause it's carrie don maternally anyway???

You have no words?

You broke me. Either that or lj ate my post.

What I was trying to say was that askerian wrote a smutty Uchiha-matrilineal story.

I think I've read that t one.

THat'd almost make sense. That your chakra would be shaped by you mother chakra.

So Kurenai's it might look like (insert random nin here...) but it'd probably have her abilities.
