This story is for @spookythevoidsinger​, @dawen​, @dominaaurum​, @greencuttingmat​, and @kurakura0-0​, all of whom chimed in on my discord server as I was writing it and suggested so many of the ideas which made it into this story.

Truly, it takes a village.

Kurotsuchi creeps into the room, silently thanking all the gods that the daimyo of Hatō no Kuni is arrogant enough not to pay for proper guards. If this monstrosity of a castle was being patrolled by shinobi from Amegakure, this would be a lot trickier.

As it is though, he puts far too much faith in his nobles and their soldiers.

She crawls down the walls, careful to avoid placing even the slightest pressure on the nightingale floor - she doesn't want to give herself away now, not after she spent so much effort getting into a country she has no business being in - and stretches her hand out for the pot which rests in the tokonoma.

An unassuming brown and made out of simple clay, she has trouble imagining that this is one of Kumogakure's greatest treasures, a tool handed down from the Sage of Six Paths himself. But everything her people have been able to discovers says that it's the Kohaku no Jōhei, and she smirks as she lays a hand on it.

Only... it doesn't move.

Is it... stuck?

She grabs it with both hands and yanks, only to find herself tugged in the opposite direction.

"Sorry, but this one's mine." The amused voice is low for a woman, but unmistakably feminine. "Don't you see our symbol on it?"

Buntan Kurosuki Headcanons

ok so there are a few nsfwish ones mixed in at the top but i tried to put them more to the bottom and nothing really explicit .

 Mother is a prostitute ( i mean she literally called her daughter Hoe) hence how she has no relation to Raiga , and has a great distain for the man who left her with a child

Her mother was Raigas favourite so she does know a fair bit about him which is why she could tell buntan about it.

However what she doesn’t tell buntan about is that Raiga didn’t leave of his own accord. She made him leave after finding out about his love of burying people alive.

She does have a little care for buntan ( like microscopic) as she was worried that if she ever found out she would leave in search of her father.

That being said i could also she her having literally ZERO fucks given towards buntan. Like girl could get eaten by bears and her mom wouldn’t care

Her mother is also bordering on an alcoholic. Buntan had to get herself to and from school from no age.

They lived in her mothers ‘place of work’ for many years. When Buntan turned 18 she left to go live with shizuma in their cool hideout™

Because of having to care for her blackout drunk mother on various occasions, she is very domestic but utterly resents it. She  keeps her room as messy as possible and acts like an utter slob just to spite this.

She usually leaves a trail of destruction wherever she goes. Socks lying on the floor, wrappers and empty cups and bowls can are a sign that buntan is in the near vicinity

Acts like a bitchy sorority girl but secretly is a very damaged girl. Doesn’t even feel comfortable enough to drop this act around shizuma

When they were dating she was constantly worried about whether shizuma would like the real her or if he just liked her bitch facade

Pitch black sense of humor. If someone is going to cross the line with a black humor joke its going to be her buntan dead baby jokes aren’t funny, weve been  over this..

She was born with sharp teeth unlike her mother or raiga which made her mother hope she wasn’t actually raigas. However as she grew the resemblance was undeniable

Her favorite food is actually just a regular old grilled cheese sandwich. It was the first thing she learned to make herself when she was a child and even now when shes in a bad mood one of these well done can cheer her right up.

She also loves foreign foods like pasta and garlic bread. The others hate it though so she never gets to eat it

Her least favorite however is anything alcoholic. She has a good tolerance for alcohol but since finding out alcoholism can run in families she hasn’t touched the stuff.

Shes pretty street smart and savvy. She actually developed a sort of hop in-hop out system for their hideout similar to konan, yahiko and nagatos

She has really bad knees and finds all the jumping around and backflips she has to do as part of being a ninja really  painful.  If you notice during her fight with Sarada she tends to walk and only jumps out of the way when she has no choice.

That being said she is or at least was a big fan of ice skating. She cant really do all the moves anymore but just going round in circles on the rink makes her happy.

She really doesn’t like kekkai genkki users. She’d probably flip her lid if she ever found out about her dad and Ranmaru

Her and hebiichigo get along really well.... or as well as two very unstable people can. Sure they have fights, which always end in blood. But theyve usually patched things up again within minutes so they can resume giving everyone and their mother the side eye, talking shit behind their backs

She 100% smokes. She was one of those chicks who smoked in the bathrooms and behind the bike shed at the academy. Hebii smokes sometimes too but shes usually the first to give buntan shit about it because c’mon bunbun it’ll make you sick.

yESS HER NICKNAME IS BUNBUN

She would never tell  him but the fact that Shizuma is related to someone Kisame scares her because she’s heard the stories and the man was a BEAST

nsfw-ish below the cut

Since her mom is a hooker buntan is both pretty liberal when it comes to sex and insanely conservative . she has no problem talking about every kind of kink under the rainbow, shes got an encyclopedic knowledge of everything sex related and would never slut shame  or kink shame anyone. Basically if you want sex advice you go to Buntan

But you try any of that shit with her and you’re going to get stabbed. If you even MENTION her in any kind of sexual context she will flip her lid. The thought of HER actually doing the nasty as opposed to other people makes her want to puke.

Shes not asexual per say as shes still attracted to people but she is really sex repulsed when it comes to herself.

Was equal parts intrigued and disgusted when she found a porn stash in the abandoned building they called bagsies on

For badness she threw one of the more ratty books at Ichirota to see him scream  and flail because eww germs and also EWW WHO USED THIS

No one currently knows where the porn stash is

A new sex shop opened up in kiri and she was the first to check it out. She didn’t want to buy anything in there or even ever use it if it was bought for her, she was just curious

She got free lub and threw that at Ichirota too.

Sexuality? Buntan isn’t bi-curious shes bi-furious

RAIGA had a DAUGHTER, did you see!!!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!!????????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????!?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!!?!??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????????????????????!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!

Alright, alright, this is gonna get rambly, but hear me out:

*adjusts tin foil hat*

I’m sure none of this is intentional, and SP merely forgot their own canonical nuances in a rush to make this arc. I’m sure it was some combination of laziness and forgetfulness. Raiga is apparently a vague fever dream to most fans, however big of a shame that is. Naruto’s always sucked at Kirigakure consistency; I get it.

But, listen. Listen…

Episode 30 has me STUCK on the Orochimaru theory. I mean, I’m all for Raiga having a daughter! I love Buntan!! BUT I don’t think what they’ve given us makes a whole lot of sense. At least, not without someone like Orochimaru to fill in the gaps.

Based on what we’ve been given so far, I think we’re supposed to believe that Raiga went lucid and spent at least one night with a non-Ranmaru person whom he never buried alive (presumably because he didn’t interact with her again?). That person then went on to raise Raiga’s pointy-toothed daughter, pissed about the whole thing. She hates the man that Buntan is “just like.” Ostensibly, she hates Raiga.

But, wait. What’s this? Raiga’s daughter has pointed teeth, even in her childhood flashback!? And Raiga DOES NOT have pointed teeth!? Even though the Curry of Life arc is at least soft-canon now, since Buntan blamed Naruto for his demise? What’s up with that??

“They’re filed,” I hear you suggesting. But, by who? Buntan’s mom doesn’t seem to want ANYTHING to do with the person Buntan reminds her of– not even her adorable “I caught the moon!” optimism. Surely, she wouldn’t help her daughter file her teeth to fit in with the organization Raiga was a part of. Or, if it was Buntan, when did she get time away from her bucket-kicking, dream-crushing mom to file them down? Wouldn’t her mom stop her? Or pull all her teeth out, or something?

Sure, sure, there’s a chance Buntan’s mom likes the 7NS, but just not Raiga, and made some kind of a deal in which Buntan could join if she didn’t act like her father or take his swords (a deal Buntan made knowing full well she’d take his swords ANYWAY because YOU DON’T OWN ME MOM.)  But, if she’s had pointed teeth since she was a little kid, I think it might be more likely that they’re genetic, and there was nothing Buntan’s salty mom could do about them.

“Maybe Raiga’s non-pointy teeth were recessive.” Okay, that’s fair. But… BUT… bUT whAT IF OrochiMARU—

*Ahem* To get right to it, I find it deliciously plausible that Orochimaru made a deal with Buntan’s mom, in an effort to breed pointy-toothed trouble-makers. But, whatever he offered her, it wasn’t what she ended up with. She feels cheated by Orochimaru, and disgruntled with her lil’ moon-catching consolation prize.

Maybe she really DID like Raiga, and wanted his baby, but called shenanigans when the supposed child of Raiga that Orochimaru gave her had his eyes AND blond hair AND pointy teeth. Or, maybe she was expecting to meet the real Raiga, only to wake up pregnant in a cave somewhere with a kidney missing. Or, maybe she came to Orochimaru for fertility treatments or something, and ended up FURIOUS because sHE JUST WANTED A NORMAL BABY, AND YOU GAVE HER A SWORDSMAN!? WHAT’S UP WITH THESE KUROSUKI-LOOKIN’ EYES, OROCHIMARU!?!

*Gesturing rainbows* The options are ENDLESS when you’re with OROCHIMARUUUUUUUUUUU~

And, that’s the thing for me. Buntan being Raiga’s natural, no-shenanigans daughter requires a shortlist of specific assumptions and/or headcanons. Interesting, fair assumptions and/or headcanons, but still.

Orochimaru, on the other hand… well, you can more or less drop his name into this scenario and see the pieces line up, regardless of the specifics. He’s the easier option to me. And, if SP wants me to believe otherwise, they’ve gotta step their backstory game up and show me something indisputable. They’ve gotta make me Believe It™ And a daughter who only shares eyes with a father she’s never met and has a mother who looks nothing like her, nor is ever shown with the father, does NOT make me BELIEVE IT™

Making a Move (in the Opposite Direction)

This story is for @dominaaurum​ and @kurakura0-0​ who introduced me to both Kagura and Shizuma. It's also for @denialcity​ who kindly gave me permission to use their idea about how a particular song becomes a love song that the whole Uchiha clan knows, as well as @misttiddies​, @dawen​ and @shinigami-mine​ who inspired the scene in chapter 12.

Itachi lays out the morning meal, keeping his anxiety to himself as much as he can.

His hands are steady as he places rice and fish at everyone's places, his back is straight and his movements graceful, but he knows that his fretting is still visible in the overly precise positioning of each dish.

Hinata-kun pats his wrist, a gentle reassurance, and he smiles at her ruefully. She can read him just as easily as he reads her, even without their dōjutsu, and they both know it, but he can't bring himself to act naturally today.
