I've always thought that Kishimoto creates a great relationship between children and villains.

Is raising a kid with a Kekkei Genkai mandatory for the 7 Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?

(SPECIAL) Naruto Modern AU/Hollywood pt.8 - Keeping Up with Swordmen of the Mist pt.2

hey before diving into this post, the concept/idea comes from one of the prompts for #Kisame Week 2024 by @kisames-corner.

It's over but I like the prompt for Day 5 (Keeping up with Swordmen of the Mist) so i decided to do a part.2 with our favorite Kiri boys.

This a rundown of their episode on Killer Bee's Showtime.

It went down in history as one of the most watched episode of the show. Juuzo, Zabuza and Kisame were invited as special guests.

(if you knows, you knows)

babygirl Raiga for @misttiddies

[Image ID: a digital fanart of Raiga, he's posing seductively laying down on a patch of grass, a blade of grass in his smiling mouth. His two kiba blades are planted next to him. The background is a cloudy sky. /.End ID]

[thekingwhereitallends]

hi do you think think ameyuri ringo died before 1 NB Might Duy killed 4 of them ameyuri might’ve already died from that disease

Raiga becomes a holder of kiba and Raiga defects from Kiri, taking Kiba with him. I'm not sure when he defects

How old was ringo maybe 30 I don't know what do you think?

We don't know when Raiga got killed and the only reason people think he survived the battle against Duy is anime-only arc but the issue is that is not stated anywhere in databooks or any canon material. There is that.

Ameyuri might have died sometime before 1 BN or after it. How old was she? I doubt she was older than 30, perhaps died in early or mid 20s. It's been stated that she died young due to being mortally ill, don't know what "young" indicates.

So yeah, Ameyuri might have been alive and in the same squad that Mangetsu was.

Socra’s Naruto Liveblog, Ep. 152-157

(aka the Kurosuki Removal Mission)

Ep 152:

-anddd we’re already starting with someone getting buried alive. Yikes.

-goddamn Naruto is really just carrying three whole adults on his back

-LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MY SPECIAL SON AW HE WORKS SO HARD

-Anko stealing Tsunade’s food was kinda iconic

-I love that Tsunade calls Gai’s team “your kids” lol

-and then Gai really said “I love those kids more than anything in the world”, MY HEART 😭

-Naruto is so much shorter than all of Team Gai lmao (altho in my head Tenten is very short)

-I stan Lee so hard. He could literally say anything and I’ll just smile and be like “that’s my boy”

-Neji has really chilled out so much from before the Chunin Exams, he actually was kinda smiling at some of Naruto’s antics

-Gai and Lee running in their sleep is so unserious

-oh my god as someone with really bad spice tolerance, I felt for everyone so much when they tried the curry

-omg the curry was so spicy it made Neji activate his Byakugan, that’s actually fucking hilarious

Ep 153:

-the graveyard of people who were buried alive is one of the darkest things I’ve seen in the show so far I think

-between this mission and the beetle mission, it’s so interesting to see Naruto interact with other teams and clash with their established dynamics and way of doing things

-who the FUCK is this Raiga dude talking to on his back. It’s so creepy

-I don’t like the way Karashi talks

-I love Lee’s little notebook

Ep 154:

-I’m very curious about the abilities of whoever the Ranmaru person on Raiga’s back is. Whoever they are, they seem to be super powerful

-ohhhh fuck the kids are in trouble

-Lee fighting in his sleep will never not be funny

-ah so Ranmaru is very much another Haku situation then. The show even acknowledges it

Ep 155:

-again, the way Karashi talks annoys me. His hair slays tho

-the black tornado jutsu with the Kurosuki goons all stacked on top of each other was deeply unserious

-yay I like that we’re actually getting to see Tenten fight!

-god Lee has such a big heart

-Grandma Sancho is kinda an icon. I love little old lady characters

-I know there’s still two episodes of this arc so I’m just waiting for shit to go wrong now

-this is extremely off-topic but Ranmaru’s hair is literally the same as Bugsy’s from Pokemon Gold and Silver

-welp. Shit went wrong.

Ep 156:

-oh god Tenten is going to get her ass kicked isn’t she

-wait okay she actually put up a decent fight

-also Tenten stabbing her wooden staff into Raiga’s foot made me giggle

-ugh Karashi is such a whiney lil bitch. He needs to take a page out of Kimimaro’s book and grow a spine (see what I did there lmao)

-welp rip Neji and Naruto. It’s fuckin LEE time now

-AW SHIT THE WEIGHTS ARE COMING OFF

-Tenten is both nice to Ranmaru and also kind of done with him

Ep 157:

-the animation of Lee tumbling down the rocks was fucking hilarious

-oh Grandma Sancho the icon that you are-

-oh my god Lee is such a fucking GOOBER

-Ranmaru is seriously OP as fuck

-also Ranmaru trying to guide Raiga and himself off a cliff is some dark shit

-YESSSSS DRUNK LEE COMEBACK

-the animators must have so much fun animating drunk Lee

-I feel like Neji passing out each time he’s fed the alcoholic curry of life is confirming that he’s both a) a MEGA lightweight and b) a sleepy drunk

-Raiga has kinda overstayed his welcome, I needed him gone like an episode ago

-okay I will say that him going out in a literal blaze of glory via lightning was kinda epic tho

-aw Ranmaru is staying at the curry shop! That’s really nice actually:)

-Lee is such a cutie patootie

Making a Move (in the Opposite Direction)

Summary:

Crows are not a migratory species.

(But they'll move if they need to.)

Takes place in 1919 and 1920.

Rating: Mature Fandom: Naruto Relationship: Hoshigaki Kisame/Uchiha Itachi Word Count: approximately 10K (Complete and posts one chapter daily)

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.

Read the rest on AO3.

Naruto Modern AU/Hollywood pt.2 - Kiri & The All-Star Team

There is a silent hierarchy among all countries and the terrible assumption that bigger countries are better than smaller ones. The large presence and funds of various territories, like the country of fire, wind, earth, and lightning, overwhelms and overshadows small nations, especially in sports where each country dominates certain disciplines.

The land of fire (Konoha): badminton, soccer, gymnastics, and martial arts

The land of lightning (Kumo): Tennis, basketball, and athleticism

The land of earth (Iwa): cross country, marathon, weightlifting, and cycling

But in the last decade, the land of water emerged in the sports scene. It was coming out of years of political conflict that left the country in shambles with record levels of poverty, putting them at the bottom of the economic ladder. Not only was it a smaller nation, but a lot of its endeavors and way of life were unknown to the rest of the world because of the long-lasting reign of violence that controlled the country for decades.

Well, Kiri has been perceived as "these islands far away" with the highest crime rate in the world for the longest but Its newly found peace brought interesting things; industrialization,  a new economy open to the world, the exportation of its products, but specifically the creation of various social classes. This was not the case before, since it was, the government/military vs the rest of the population in poverty.

This modernized economy brought the country a new middle class and other social statuses. It recently started experiencing the concept of celebrities like the rest of the world and most are athletes.

Being surrounded by large bodies of water, any form of water activity has always been intuitive to them. To the point where many accuse them of having a "genetic advantage". Athletes from Kiri/Country of Water can now join world competitions and are killing the game in the water department and making a serious name for their country. They are undefeatable in all forms of swimming kayaking, boat racing, surfing, diving, synchronized/artistic swimming, water polo, etc. Now most of the competitions for these sports are held there.

Kiri is getting recognized overseas for many things, but recently certain people have attained celebrity status for unconventional reasons building a solid international fan base

Mei Terumi, the female president, for her breathtaking beauty

Haku is the new sensation in figure skating. A discipline Kiri started to dominate recently but the young man’s high level of skills made him reach first place in all competitions. His likeability, pure heart, and pretty looks opened many doors for him, he often features in variety shows and commercials. He is also a good friend of the #1 YouTuber/streamer and boxer Naruto Uzumaki and often appears on his channel

Ever since basketball was invented, Kumogakure dominated the sport, but in the past year, the mysterious national basketball team of Kiri has made a name for themselves.

Overnight, a team of 195 cm tall men came out of nowhere and climbed up the world ranking to second place. The team’s name is the Swordsman of the Mist and the current coach is Gengetsu Hozuki It may not seem like it, but many of the members have interesting inheritances and backgrounds.

Kisame Hoshigaki: leader and tallest. Surprisingly decent from a prestigious clan from Kiri. Kisame is an academic genius, who has a diploma in biology from the most prestigious universities in the country of Water but decided to use the basketball scholarship he received instead.

His son Shizuma Hoshigaki is a part-time social media influencer. He is problematic in his own way, but not enough to be canceled yet. Shizuma is not worried because he is a trust fund kid but wishes to outshine his father as a professional swimmer. The jokes write themselves since he barely practices the sport but is among the greatest and fastest the world has to offer (his shark DNA, I guess). He is dating Raiga’s daughter Buntan, and her father is really salty about it

Zabuza Momochi: nobody knows about his background. He is the most muscular. Him and Kisame get the most brand deals and promotions. Zabuza is also one of Haku’s coaches. He took him under his wing under unknown circumstances. He is the first to recognize the boy’s unique talent and aiding him in his journey as an athlete regardless of their differences. Zabuza always had a sweet spot for Haku and considered him like a son. So, he is often absent to prioritize the figure skater’s training.

Kisame knows Zabuza well, they are lifelong friends. The leader lets him get away with missing practices (even if it drives their coach insane). His best friend is a man of a few words, and above all works extremely hard and exercises double their training schedule in his own free time.

Juuzo Biwa: He is the third star player along with Kisame and Zabuza (The Killer Trio). He has no sense of personal space. Ironically, he is the wealthiest because he owns a successful brand of luxury cars coveted by the new high class. He is genuinely funny, and the variety show's favorite.

Raiga: Loudest laugh. Lost a lot of money due to his jewelry addiction. He smokes a pack with the blood of his enemies. The mother of his child is still getting child support payments, and he is bitter, even if they’re legally separated.

Because of His herratic behaviour and anger issues, he is kinda of a self-made outcast. The other members can cooporate as co-workers and teamates but nothing beyond that (Raiga has is own circle of friends). Since Raiga is so unhinged, no matter their coach's efforts, him and Zabuza do not get along.

Hassaku Onomichi: professional dunker. He befriended a lot of Kumo basketball players. He often gets caught up in beefs with anyone.

The popularity of the basketball team has offered them fans all across the world for their incredible talent, pleasant chemistry, unique sense of humor, and good looks to the point where tabloids from Konoha have launched a misinformation campaign to stain their image and effort to defend their basketball teams after getting constantly crushed by those "foreigners".

The last match of the International Basketball League’s series opposing The Swordmen of the Mist from Kiri against The Lightnings from Kumo was the most anticipated and heated match ever organized. Taking place in Konoha, it made record engagement and attendance. For the first time in history, Kumo lost the finale to first timers. The news traveled all across the world and, certified Kiri’s team's celebrity status since they won.

With their success, many shady investors like Gato started to take interest in basketball as a means of proposing Kiri overseas and for other shady dealings. The weight of all those rumors pushed many fans who knew Gato’s involvement in Haku’s career to beg him to change his manager/owner ASAP.
