Happy anniversary of your first meeting, my OTPst of OTPs!
(Yes, it's today. It was seven days to the beginning of the Chuunin Exam, which begun on July 1st.)
10 years later, 20 years later, whatever, depends on whether they're 22 or 32 in the "present", take your pick. :)
(If we're counting by when the manga chapter where they met was first published, it actually has this year been 14 (if going by when the chapter was first published in Japan) or 10 (if going by when it was first published in English) years in our world since they first met. But I mean the title as in-universe.)
Speaking of relevant shippy dates, have I mentioned
the Fan Day is July 28 this year? Still a bit more than a month left to prepare! :D
