I’m your reasoned alibis
I’m inside, open your eyes
I’m you

Something more recent. This was started back when Naruto chapter 493 came out and finished just under a month ago, when Kushina showed up. She was a late addition but her appearance gave me the impetus to finish this pic. So we have Kushina on one side, Kyuubi on the other and Naruto - all of him - in the middle.

I still love the idea that Naruto does have a mess of unresolved issues and a hell of a lot of hidden resentment. I'm not so keen on it being 'hugged' away however. In this pic at least Naruto hasn't been able to hug his darkness away.

This image was for anatomy practise mostly. Reference was used. Not 100% happy with it still but there's only so much you can repaint things sometimes. So I'll leave it for now. I'd rather not hear that dark!Naruto looks Hollow-like, please. .__. I'm aware. I haven't been able to fix that yet.

The suggester wrote: "When *orin posted : Naruto - ONE :, I found myself fumbling for words to describe it and being unable to succeed. It incorporated so much of what has recently been occurring in the Naruto series; amazingly depicting the struggles and perils that the main character has been trying to overcome. It's frightfully intense, quite realistic and seemed more than deserving of a DD." ( Suggested by *SweetYuya and Featured by ^rydi1689 )

Wow, I love the symbolism of Kushina's love and Kyuubi's hate as the forces driving the outcome of the events on Naruto's day of birth and his battle with Kyuubi for its chakra. The hatred and resentment Naruto carries and has faced being shown as a parasite latching on to him and preventing him from moving forward just adds to the turmulous/conflicted feelings going on in the piece. Not to mention that the whole thing is fantastically done. 11/10 stars!
