Oh, OTP, How Can You Be So Adorable?


A have decided to share a picspam with you - the shippiest scene in recent memory, from Naruto episode 81:

First, Sakura is brooding in the rain, wondering if this is truly the most boring training sequence in Naruto (it is) or if she's being punished for something (only for being female) when suddenly the rain stops....





....because Sai has drawn them a little ink umbrella and is holding it over her.



I have no commentary for the cuteness that is that line. Also, I would totally trade fic for an icon of them standing together.



Sakura: I'm just worrying over the fact that we've apparently entered a dimension during which time has no meaning.
[livejournal.com profile] redbrunja : tell me about it.





Sai tries to cheer her up, because even after Root did its best to quash all emotion out of his soul, he knows that girls are much more likely to put out if they're happy.


But Sakura is uncheered, because she knows that in anther arc Naruto will be stealing her signature power and will probably end up marrying Sasuke and getting the white dress she always dreamed of.



Sai looks at her.



And looks at her.



And stares at her mouth some more. I can't emphasize how long this scene went on, with Sai just staring at her lips, and I want to drag everyone who thinks Sai thinks Sakura is ugly over to this and make them watch it, because, I am sorry, you do not just stare at the mouth of someone you think is unattractive. You just don't.



Sai's all "I have been instructed in the ways of smiling deviously by Kyouya.... do you feel the need to fall to your knees and worship me yet?"



Seriously, worship the pretty.




Sai: well, she punched me the last time I insulted a teammate.... I really hope I can get her to do that again.

'cause Sai understand the hotness that is Sakura punching people and you totally know he's a bit of a machicist.



Sakura decides to main a tree instead of a teammate. Kakashi would be so proud. Although, he'd probably prefer she take out the competition, you know?







Sakura makes tree sorry that it was around when Sai was shooting off his mouth.



And Sai is back staring at her mouth while she speaks poinards, and ever word stabs.





....besides that his penis is tiny? Because we all know that!






Sai: Sakura, I thought we were saving that for the bedroom.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] enderxenocide  pointed out that even as he edges away, he keeps the umbrella over her. I'm a sucker for people who take care of others without having it come off as a lack of respect.

And the above screencap would also make a good icon. I'm just saying.



Sakura: You brought me yaoi? Maybe you do have potential.



Sakura: Well, I certainly know what I'm going to be doing what Naruto is all like, 'blah, blah, woe is me, let's train dramatically in the rain.'



I'd like to note that Sai gave her the umbrella before scampering off.



...Sakura watches him go....



And Sakura continues watching with this sort-smile on her face.

Oh, OTP.

I haven't gotten this good of fanservice since Zuko was rolling around on the floor with Katara and going off to commit bloody revenge at her side.

*squeal!* OH MY GOD THE INK UMBRELLA IS CUTEST THING EVAR IN THE HISTORY OF CUTE.

I mean, the umbrella thing in general is cute, but he drew it for her with his special ink jutsu! Sai is like a BADASS version of Harold and the purple crayon! OMG!

I almost want to watch the anime, even with its notorious failsome filler episodes, just for that!

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
And you didn't even see the part where it's sort of this bat-bird before it curls its wings and turns into an umbrella.

Oh, man, he totally is! What a delightful image!

Wait, what? Did that happen in the manga? That's frickin adorable.

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It didn't, unfortunately.

I'm thrilled that they added it, though.

[identity profile] cutecrazyice.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, my God. That's just so adorable. Sakura is so pretty when angry, and Sai...can you say HOT?! Wow. :p What episode is this in the anime?

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It's episode 81.

And yes, Sakura is truly one of those people who look honestly attractive while angry, and Sai is just.... all the hotness that most people asssociate with Sasuke is, for me, all about Sai.

(Who in my head is like, Sai= all the hotness Sasuke doesn't have.)

[identity profile] lalagirl208.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)

Okay, that is adorable. <3

And psht, guys. Sai doesn't think she's ugly, he calls her that after reading that you need to tell girls the opposite of what you think :P

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it?

That's what I've argued. Rereading the manga, it's written pretty unclearly, and the anime totally screws that section up and has it say the opposite.

But I have always believed that he called her Hag because she was clearly pretty.

your entire commentary just cracks me up, but those three parts expecially

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I saw that one shot of Sai and it reminded me of Kyouya just SO hardcore, especially with Sai being all clever and good-naturedly manipulative.

And someone pointed out that they love the trope of Sai enjoying Sakura hitting him, and with all I've heard about how screwy people get will abuse, I could totally see Sai thinking of it affectionatly, because at least he's getting attention, you know?

This is cuuuuute. Thanks for posting since I'm pretty much just up-to-date with what's out in the US as far as the manga goes (I don't watch the dub -- ew) right now. Though I have been reading your spoilers to make sure Kakashi doesn't die... DAMN IT.

Also, "besides that his penis is tiny, because we all know that!" made me LOL very hard. It'd be awesome to insert that line under what's already there and have some good iconnage. :D

OMG YAY!!!

...I really wish I could offer something more insightful, but I just can't stop the squeeing. Thanks for sharing! I kinda love you forever now.

[identity profile] slytherinpunk.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
It was really cute--even if the scene wasn't in the manga...

Thanks for sharing!

Now a better question: "Why do we not have icons of it yet?"

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
You're very welcome!

And I don't know why there aren't icons! Please direct that question to someone who has even the vaguest bit of artistic talent.

[personal profile] strange_quark 2008-11-20 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
... Sai totally, totally has a crush on her. It's canon. I'm convinced.

Hell, I'll worship that. Sai is so pretty, omfg. Sakura too: the anime artists do a good job with her. Kishimoto's spotty in his art.

Gawd this pairing is cute. I can't stand it.

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, Sai totally does. It's utterly impossible for me to imagine Sai NOT crushing on Sakura and yet having no idea that he actually is.

And one reason I greatly prefer anime icons to the manga ones, is that the anime is SO much better animated than the manga is drawn. I mean, the early stuff is just so. very. painful.

[identity profile] raistlynn.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I absolutely love these two, I am so happy you posted these pictures, especially how Sai looks in the 'youthful' outfit that Gai gave him ^^

It is only in the anime, and it's totally, totally adorable. I'm sad I didn't manage to get a shot where you can see that it's a creature that he morphed into an umbrella - for one minute you see this bat-thing with wings and then the wings fold together to make the umbrella.

I had photoshop open, so I tried to fiddle with the screen caps a bit and see if I could come up with anything, and here's the result. Feel free to use them, if you like. :p

Anyways, thank you for the picspam! I haven't followed the anime in ages (I haven't seen any of the Shippuuden, in fact), so it was nice to see Sai animated. ♥ *should try to catch up with the anime at some point*

GODDAMN IT.

Here's the thing.

I'm catching up on the anime right now, and last night I watched the episode where Team Kakashi is in Fuen's labyrinth, and Sai does that whole saving-Sakura-are-you-impressed-you-are-aren't-you? thing. And for the first time ever I was like HOSHIT HE IS SEXY OMG NO DON'T PAIR THEM.

Then you posted this.
And I died a little inside.
And officially converted.

GODDAMN IT.

And I love converting people to my OTPs.

[identity profile] korinacaffeine.livejournal.com 2008-11-20 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh shit, the anime did something right!

This scene and the Kakuzu-Hidan arc were my favorite. The only ones I liked, actually.

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2008-11-21 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
I honestly haven't watched the Kakuzu-Hidan arc. I just watched the Shikamaru brooding episode. Which was very pretty. If too long.
