"Naruto and Friends" by Becky (Stareyes) Harbison

Series: Naruto
Characters: Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke

Yes, I realize the only way I could have made the title even more uncreative was to just name the characters. But, look! Student ninja with mystical powers!

A very late birthday gift for my friend Lasafara (that's a screenname, obviously) -- she really likes the ship Naruto/Sasuke (well, once they are old enough so that the thought of romance isn't OMG!Squick), but I didn't quite feel comfortable drawing shippy pictures without knowing the characters (I'm weird and she always picks complicated, twisted ships). So she got a gen picture inspired by one of my little brother's drawing books on making cast pictures. Sakura also got stuck in there, because it seemed appropriate to have all three team memebrs in if it wasn't a shippy picture.
