Rating: Mature Fandom: Naruto Relationship: Terumi Mei/Yamato | Tenzō Word Count: approximately 16K (Complete and posts one chapter daily)

This story is for @longliveustherecklessandthebrave​ and @hellotheremaryrose​ who watched me write out the outline of this story as not!fic in the Kisame's Corner discord server, and for @misttiddies​ who kept me updated on the Great Sea Battle of Kirigakure arc in Boruto as they watched it.

I cannot thank the three of them enough.

"Enough!" Mei slams her hands down on the table and takes a deep breath, struggling to contain her chakra so that she exhales air and not acid. It takes a few moments but she finally regains her calm. "You know that we can't go on like this. We need the trade."

The room erupts in a babble of protest, but Mei doesn't bother to sort out which arguments are being advanced by whom. It's all a repetition of the same words which have been spoken again and again, amounting to little more than 'but this is the way we've always done it.' She already knows who her adversaries are anyway, and it's the ones who don't speak who are of most interest to her.

Headcanons of Naruto 12 years old knowing that his best friend Yagura Karatachis daughter age 12 had insecurity issues with being a strong woman with swords because Sasuke said that he hated scary women when he was younger and Naruto knew that it affected her self esteem greatly and she told Naruto about what Sasuke said about it.

Note: all hail to Naruto for comforting people with some Ramen!!!🥰🥰🥰

Warnings: a little bit of sexism.

Headcanons:

Naruto was fuming and ready to punch some sense into his male teammate;

Naruto knew full well that you were very sensetive when it came to other people's opinion and that your self-esteem was mainly based on that;

One day you would skip your training, which was then followed by another and another...;

Naruto's worries got the best of him and he rushed to your house, only to find you rolled up into a pile of blankets, your face all red and puffy from crying;

He made the two of you some ramen, which he had picked on his way to your place and after your bellies were filled, you finally revealed the reason, why you had skipped the practice;

Apparantely you had overheard a conversation between Sasuke and another fellow shinobi, where Sasuke shared his past experience of encountering a female shinobi, who nearly killed him and that women should be taking care of the household not running around with a katana (just like his mother took care of the demestic stuff by being the wife of the Uchiha clan's former leader Fugaku);

You also were under the impression that he was reffering this partially to you since you were the only person in team 7 to wield a katana;

So currently Naruto was running full speed towards Sasuke, despite you pleading with him that it wasn't Sasuke's fault, since he wouldn't know that you overheard the conversation;

However, before Naruto's fist made contact with the back of Sasuke's head, Kakashi stopped him (you alerted Kakashi as soon as Naruto jumped out from the window of your apartment);

Kakashi would then lecture both boys - Naruto for acting so rashly and Sasuke for speaking things aloud without considering that it might hurt someone, regardless of whether he's unaware of someone else's (in this case your) presence;

You, on the other hand, resumed you'r practice and were also assigned to have some private training with Kurenai Yuhi, so that you would finally accept that any person that carries on the Will of Fire can be a shinobi, regardless of the person's gender.
