uhhhhh can we PLEASE hear that theory about ninja either taking showers or learning to read

LMAO i didn’t know if anyone read that tag but hsjdfjsd okay

the shower/reading dichotomy is another theory at my house that came from the marriage of a long-standing “naruto uzumaki is functionally illiterate and there is canon evidence to this fact” joke and the single use clothing sasuke theory. 

basically we figured naruto can’t read and sasuke doesn’t shower (because he just wears his clothes once and throws them out #singleusesasuke) and thought it would be funny and in-character if they could do the thing the other couldn’t. so naruto can’t read but probably showers from time to time, whereas sasuke is well-read af but hasn’t bathed since he was 8. 

anyway it got out of control and we realised you can apply it to anyone. shikamaru can read but is too lazy to shower. ino showers (probably too much) but secretly can’t read and makes shikamaru do it for her. hinata can’t read but showers, neji reads but doesn’t shower. sakura can do both and kiba blissfully makes no attempt to do either. 

it’s called the shower-literacy test and it’s the world’s most lose/lose tag yourself
