5 + 1 Fic Friday Roundup: Tripped into Power

Fics with characters who didn't exactly seek to rule, but instead were subject to an "accidental power acquisition".

The Accidental Warlord and His Pack (AO3) - "Jaskier arrives at Kaer Morhen knowing his family gave him up without a second thought, and absolutely sure that the dreaded Warlord of the North will value him even less than his own blood did. But the White Wolf and his pack are not what Jaskier expected...and if he's unreasonably lucky, Kaer Morhen might become far more of a home than Lettenhove ever was."

The Way of Conquest (AO3) - "All Din wanted to do was find the Child a sorcerer teacher, pick up a job or two, and follow his Creed. Three out of three is good, right? Right?"

Pirate King Laurence (AO3) - "It's bad luck to have a dragon aboard a ship, and this tiny black creature can't be natural at all. Slowed by a gale and bad-luck, the Reliant mutinies and puts Laurence and Temeraire alone on the Amitié. The journey back to England is difficult, and on the way Laurence accidentally finds himself leading a small fleet of fighting ships. As one does."

The War is Far From Over Now (AO3 / FF) - "Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new? Or, Tony Stark, [Accidental] Overlord."

A Comcept of Loyalty (AO3) - "Shisui considered himself devoted, if not fully to his Clan’s agenda or the Sandaime’s manoeuvring then at least to upholding Konohakagure herself. ... He didn't abide by traitors and, above all, he valued loyalty." Set to private.

Bonus: Acronym (AO3) - "They made Tobirama the Senju Clan Head.

...omg they made Tobirama the Senju Clan Head."

ROOT Shisui's Naru-Sai-Shin team being Team 4 because of the fact that "4" in japanese can also be pronounced as "Shi" as in "Death" and since they're a ROOT team working under Danzō I think it'd be cool if that was their team number

[perelka-l]

same anon as the last ask about shisui and danzo. i love morality swap but you know what i love more? shisui and danzo with the same level of fucked up. being malicious TOGETHER. maybe it didnt start out that way. maybe shisui was originally a pure little kid, but came to understand danzo's way of thinking a little too much... maybe he started to agree with it. another of my favorite concepts is ROOT!shisui. i dont think it was ever confirmed in canon, but it sure seems like he was. i have SO many concepts for the intricacies of ROOT

Some time ago someone posted plenty of speculating (with intent of painting Shisui in a very negative light) like whole three posts of meta about how Shisui wasn't a good person at all. Lemme tell ya, I ate that shit up, here is one of them preserved thanks to Wayback.

One thing burrowed its way into my brain and stayed here since then: Shisui and Danzo share their nindo. Which... Really can fuel the way one can see their relationship, something Shisui was either taught or learned himself. That's absolutely delicious.

One of posts from that person suggested that possibly it could be Shisui that leaked informations about coup to Danzo ahead of time and with much more precision than eternally internally conflicted Itachi. That possibility does incredible things to me.

That swiftly goes to an image of Shisui being entirely willing to sacrifice himself for Danzo, even eager to do so. Would they spend their last night together more specially, I wonder.

I mean, Shisui would be a fantastic target for Danzo, who could invite this poor half-orphan to his services, root or not root, and shape him into what he saw right. Danzo could use what he knew about Kagami over Shisui and threw in support that, I assume, Shisui would eagerly use (novel suggests Shisui's dad is a vegetable and I enjoy the thought) and be grateful for it. What a perfect little weapon in the making...

As for Shisui and Danzo being fucked up together... I have no words that sum it up better than this absolute gem of a fic. Gods.

What ideas do you have, nonnie? 👀 👀 👀

[ikemenomegas]

Your additions are so wonderful 😆😍 than YOU for that adorable little dialogue "Oh, man, here we go" yes Sasuke, you have to deal with your beloved nii-san who is very wise in some ways and others very naive.

The idea of Itachi being so scandalized he thinks Sasuke dressing with more skin exposed just has to be lewd is so funny. There are other reasons Itachi! You try and talk to him about this lol and he's like... what other reasons (angry frown)?? Eventually he will admit he understands fashion and self-expression on an intellectual level, but he's still a very protective older brother so... I guess wool is easy to buy as a gift at least? Also Itachi is unfairly naturally beautiful but never really leans into that for anyone but his mate? So I don't think he's the type to do this kind of fashion experimenting. It's up to his alpha to coax him into getting cute clothes if they think that's something he'll enjoy.

Itachi probably has a good relationship with the hospital since his health is still sort of fragile, so I can imagine the person he sees being helpful but also a little horrified 😅, like they that no one automatically knows the answers to the sorts of questions Itachi is asking, but also even a married omega can benefit from knowing these things, and especially an omega shinobi that spent so much time in the field. They are also extremely upset with anbu. That's probably why Itachi ends up with so many pamphlets. Sorry Sasuke, Itachi will make you carry them all home if he can.

I also imagine Sasuke just taking his shirt off very slowly. Like no rudeness because he does respect Itachi (mostly) but full eye contact and full attitude like "and?". Sasuke with sweater paws makes me squeal a bit 🤭, it's just too cute and very soft compared to the otherwise rather edgy way he portrays himself.

Itachi is once again scandalized by the idea of his children wanting to be like Sasuke, very please no, although by that point he's hopefully a touch less afraid of his children being a bit delinquent. Things should be better in the village, so he doesn't have to worry about them getting in trouble for just being Uchiha children.

@animeomegas This post crossed my dash and I immediately thought of you with cockblock sasuke headcanons haha. Itachi might be exasperated at worst and desperately horny at best during that time, thinking he understands and Sasuke will too when he's older. But I love the idea of Itachi who is sorely mistaken, has pups by the time Sasuke is courting, and is just like this. Suddenly extremely concerned for Sasuke's modesty, "are they making you wear that?" when Sasuke wears something revealing, tries to be nice because he knows Sasuke wouldn't accept someone he's not already serious about, but Itachi's eye is sort of twitching and his alpha has their second child in their arms and are staring at him like "are you okay?" when they have a second alone at a family dinner. He realizes Sasuke might be having extramarital sex and accidentally squeezes a chicken too hard when he's carrying it around in the garden and gets screamed at by a hen - not like Itachi didn't also, but Itachi was already practically married by then! and is his stupid cute little brother being safe? is it possible to be sneaky about taking him to the doctor to get checked out?

Itachi might be a little insufferable during Sasuke's teenage emo/goth rebellion too. Like he learns how to make clothes specifically because he knows Sasuke will wear anything Itachi gets him and they're all cute bulky sweaters or comfortable traditional robes. Sasuke mostly wears them around his house or when he's visiting Itachi, but it lets Itachi delude himself into some semblance of imagining Sasuke dresses like that most of the time instead of being bare chest out in the streets.

Ooh! and maybe part of Sasuke's courting story is running into his future alpha on the way back to his family's home from Itachi's house and he gets flustered and embarrassed at how obviously adorable they find him in sweater paws instead of his current off-both-shoulders, no juban, open-down-to-the-navel uniform.

[oh-no-its-bird]

Itachi shoved the thermometer back into the drawer maybe a bit more violently than necessary and resolved to pretend he had never used it. Fever? What fever? Itachi was a strong Konoha shinobi and about to embark on his first ever overnight training session with his team. His team of ANBU agents. Because Itachi had made ANBU. 'And ANBU agents,' Itachi thought, firmly shutting the drawer. 'Do not get sick.' Or; Itachi gets sick. A "training session" gets turned into more of a "sleepover at the captain's house" (much to Shisui's delight) as team Ro takes care of him.

What's that?? A Team Ro kid Itachi sick fic?? Ft. Begrudgingly team mom Kakashi, still recovering from ROOT but trying his best to protect his teammates the only way he knows how Tenzo, and Shisui just kind of having a good time? In the wild??? Well now you have to read it.

So yeah I wrote a fic in participation with the secret santa fic exchange on the nin burger server. I had fun writing it, I hope u guys can have fun reading it

[vulpisnocturna]

Can I request Shisui #4. 🥺 Debatably, in my eyes, he normally would be a passionate person. What if one time he let it all out.

Incoming my first Shisui x Reader smut! This is long and not proofread lol

#4: “No”, says Character. A pull of the hair, making them lift their face. “Eyes open. Keep them on the mirror, my love. I want you to watch me take you apart”

NSFW - Minors do not interact

Warnings: pleasure dom/hard dom Shisui, edging, oral sex (f! and m! receiving), vaginal sex, praise kink, dirty talk, slight humiliation kink, Shisui is a tease, make up sex, improper use of genjutsu (did I say he likes to tease?), jealousy, creampie

Shisui gritted his teeth, his eyes narrowing and getting darker and darker with his rage. You just stared at him, pinching the bridge of your nose.

‘Leave me alone, Shisui’ you muttered, ‘It’s not that way, and I’ve already said that’

‘We’re not done talking’ he said, spreading his arms and swiftly appearing in front of you wherever you turned to walk away, utilising his skills to be annoying.

‘What is there to explain? He kissed me- believe me, I didn’t want to and pushed him away’ you groaned, repeating it another time. Shisui ran a hand on his face and through his wavy hair.

‘Yeah, and now you’re going on a week-long mission with him. You see how that would make me feel? I trust you, baby, but that prick- I do not want him around you’ he said, trying to sweet-talk his way out of it. You scoffed, crossing your arms.

‘You trust me. It doesn’t seem that way’ you said, trying to push your way past him. It wasn’t entirely fair to get angry at him, but he was so pushy sometimes it made you mad.

He grabbed you, pulling you against his body, splaying his fingers on your stomach.

‘I know you don’t mind the fact that I’m a bit jealous. Now I’m starting to want to show you you’re mine, and that you love being mine’ he said against your ear, his lips skimming your jaw as he dipped his head, ‘I have a way of making you forget all about him’

You forced yourself to get out of his embrace, glowering at him, even though you could feel the warmth in your lower stomach. He couldn’t always use sex as a way to resolve arguments, knowing he could get everything he wanted that way.

‘I’m not even thinking about him! You’re the one who’s obsessed with him. Maybe you should go fuck him’ you yelled, and Shisui snapped, his eyes gleaming of crimson as his Sharingan activated and he pushed you against the wall. You went to push him away again, but his hands were quick to grab your wrists and pin them above you.

‘I’m tired of arguing now. I want you- to know- just what I mean, because you’re not listening to me and it’s starting to irritate me’ he said darkly, staring at you, rooting you to the spot. You could not look away and you felt yourself fall in a genjutsu.

You were tied up to the bed, on the verge of an orgasm, and Shisui had his fingers between your legs, smirking at you as he stopped moving.

‘You want me. You want only me. Look. You can’t help it’ he said, starting to move again, his tongue on your nipples, his palm rubbing against your clit, his fingers curling.

‘Shisui- fuck’ you moaned, helplessly rutting against his hand, chasing an orgasm that was always away from your reach.

‘What do you want?’ he asked, licking his lips and staring at you with those hypnotising eyes.

‘Please let me cum- Shisui, I need it… please’ you whined, tears prickling at the corners of your eyes. Usually, Shisui wasn’t this mean. He liked to tease, but he did not usually edge you that much.

‘I don’t think you need it enough. You see now?’ he crooned, and you were transported back to reality, where you found yourself on the bed, Shisui hovering above you.

There was an uncomfortable tightness in your lower stomach, and your panties were drenched. Your breath was uneven, your thighs kept rubbing together.

‘Need something? Need me to help you, baby?’ he grinned, smug and clearly turned on as you stared at the bulge in his trousers.

‘Fuck you, Shisui’ you breathed, pulling him down by his shirt lapel and kissing him roughly, passionately, twisting your hips to straddle him and invert your positions.

You bit down on his lip, sucking it, but Shisui didn’t look as though he’d let you have your way that day, because he pushed you against the bed, trapping you, choking you and starting to sloppily make out with you, more roughly than he was usually, jabbing his tongue in your mouth and taking control completely as he pinned your hands above your head.

‘You make me lose my damn mind, baby. I don’t want to be gentle today. I need to prove a thing or two to you’ he said, unzipping your vest and tossing it away, doing the same with the rest of your clothes before you could gather yourself and fully grasp what he was doing. And before you could react, his mouth was on your throat, kissing and licking and biting.

‘No marks, Shi- ahhh’ you moaned when he sucked harshly, palming your tits, keeping you still, for the first time utilising his strength to pin you down.

‘Need everyone to know you belong to me’ he said, pinching your nipple and dipping his head to suck on it and scrape it with his teeth. You squirmed, hating how turned on you were, how much you wanted him to continue, how you’d completely forgotten your anger and only wanted him to devour you. Because Shisui was always passionate, but he was never this rough and demanding, he’d never made you feel like this. Like your body was on fire.

‘Aww. You’re so worked up, baby. Need that pretty mouth on my cock, m’kay?’ he cooed, smirking at you, his eyes still red with his sharingan as he took off his t-shirt and pulled you between his legs as he sat on the edge of the bed, making you whimper as he fisted your hair and freed his cock, holding it in front of your lips.

You let out a small moan, looking up at him, finding it immensely hot how he had his sharingan activated as you twirled your tongue around the tip of his cock and sucked it slowly. There was something darker about him now, something dangerous that let you know he was, after all, one of the strongest shinobi in the world.

‘That’s a good girl. He would never understand how it feels to know how hot and sweet your pretty mouth is around my cock’ he let out, pushing more inside your mouth, almost making you gag.

‘Fuck. Wanna fuck your mouth’ he breathed, licking his lips, and you moaned. He had never done it before, always letting you go at your own pace, but you found that the thought made you shiver, your clit pulsing as you got even more turned on.

You slid a hand between your legs, wanting to play with your clit, but Shisui snapped his tongue against his teeth and swatted it away.

‘I make you cum. You’ll have to wait. Understood?’ he groaned, looking down at you. You let out a whine, bobbing your head, your eyes tearing up. He smirked at you, stroking your cheek with his thumb before he started to snap his hips against your face. You braced yourself on his hip, your jaw slackening to accommodate his length, your tongue attempting to tease the underside of his cock, drool starting to coat him and your chin.

'Pretty. You look so pretty' he breathed, lightly pushing your head against his pelvis, his fingers curling on your scalp, soft moans pouring out of his lips.

You were starting to get tired, and seeing was becoming increasingly difficult with the tears in your eyes, but Shisui’s hot moans were egging you on, and his praises were making you want him to cum in your mouth.

‘I’m close- swallow like a good girl, yeah?’ he moaned, and you did the same, hollowing your cheeks and making your mouth tighter just so you could hear him lose his mind. And he did, his hips twitching as he came down your throat, his head hanging back, long, dark eyelashes sweeping the tops of his cheeks as his eyelids fluttered. You swallowed heavily, pulling your head back and licking your lips.

‘Fuck. Shit, my perfect girl’ he grunted, looking back at you and roughly tossing you on the bed, climbing on top of you and kissing you, seemingly taken by passion as his hands roamed your body, groping your ass, fingertips digging in your thigh, mouth latching onto your nipples.

‘Gonna lick your cute little cunt, baby’ he said, removing the rest of his clothes and kissing a line down your stomach, spreading your legs, giving you a smouldering look before he dragged his tongue up your drenched labia. Your hips twitched, your hands shooting to the wavy strands of his hair, a lewd whine tearing through you.

‘That’s it. You need this from me- need my tongue on your pretty cunt?’ he smirked, his eyes on your face as he did it again, lingering and pressing on your clit. You squirmed, pinned down by his large hands, whimpering again.

‘Sh-isui… oh God. Yes’ your lips parted as you nodded, arching your back as he sucked your clit, your eyes closing, your eyebrows arching, a small crease forming between them, your mouth agape. You needed release so bad, needed him to make you cum.

‘Good girl. Keep moaning for me’ he grunted, blowing cold air on your clit, relentlessly keeping you still and flush against his face as he flung your thighs on his shoulders and dipped his tongue inside you, his nose pressing against your clit.

‘Ahh, Shisui- almost there’ you keened, and he started licking your clit up and down and from side to side, sucking it occasionally, until you started trembling and thrashing, the impending orgasm making you tense up everywhere. And then he stopped.

‘Shisui, please’ you whined, almost sobbed, panting. Shisui laughed, making your face burn as he pulled back and licked his lips.

‘Aren’t you cute, begging me to fuck you. You want me so badly?’ he taunted, stroking your cheek.

‘Fuck you’ you spat, and he smirked lazily at you, glaring at you when your hand went to your clit.

‘Tsk, tsk… not good, baby. I’m going to have to tie your bratty hands up’ he said, quick to catch your arms and twist them behind your back, turning you and keeping you still as he grabbed a rope from the holster on the floor and tying you up.

‘You’re a prick, Shisui’ you muttered, sounding damnably needy instead of angry. Shisui lifted himself up, dragging the floor mirror on the other side of the room in front of the bed. He lifted you up and sat you down on his lap, and you felt your face burn as you stared at yourself, your legs blocked by his knees, your hair a mess, your face tear-stained, your expression dazed.

‘That’s what you look like when I fuck you. And only I get to see this look. I’m going to make you watch as I fuck you. And then, you’ll see just how fucked out you look when I make you mine’ he crooned, lifting your hips and sinking into your cunt, stretching you out, his thick cock rubbing against all the right places, making you whimper and squirm, helpless against the bindings and the lock of his knees.

‘Fuck, you are so tight and wet. See? You were made for my cock’ he breathed, touching your tits, his long fingers curling to palm them, encouraging you to grind your ass against his hips, desperately chasing the orgasm that you had craved for too long.

‘Shisui… need it harder’ you moaned, and Shisui’s hands settled on your hips, bouncing you in his cock. You keened loudly, your head dropping forward, your lips parting, incoherent pleas leaving your mouth as you let your eyes close.

For a minute, Shisui merely fucked you relentlessly, his cock rubbing against your g-spot, making you moan unabashedly, but then, he pulled on your hair, making you lift your face.

‘No. Eyes open. Keep them on the mirror, my love. I want you to watch me take you apart” he said against your ear, sucking on your throat. You obeyed, opening your eyes, almost orgasming at the sight of your flushed body, your expression, your cunt sucking in Shisui’s cock, the slick glistening on your inner thighs, his lust-laden, intense eyes staring at all of you. You looked fucked stupid. You looked dirty, lewd, with your eyes glazed over and your mouth agape with every thrust, your tits bouncing with the movement. You looked helpless in his arms, like a plaything. And it made you throb with need around him.

‘Aren’t you a pretty thing? You look so dirty, baby. Pretty slut. Fuck, you like that? You like me telling you how filthy and sexy you look with my cock between your legs? You look like a proper slut. I’m going to remember this sight’ he said, making you moan and clamp around his cock, milking it as it pounded into you.

‘Shisui, please… need to cum so bad’ you cried, desperately throbbing around his cock.

‘Mhh. Can anyone fuck that face into you, mh? Tell me, and I might make you cum’ he pressed, and you shook your head meekly, entranced by that lewd sight.

‘No- you’re the only one- Shisui, it’s so much… please, please’ you pleaded, sobbing, and Shisui hummed in appreciation, bouncing you faster and harder, slamming into you at a pace that made you scream with your orgasm. You came around his cock, forcing yourself to watch your reflection as your mouth opened in a gasp, your eyes glazed. Shisui looked heavenly, dark curls sticking to his pale forehead, red, swollen lips, being bulging in his forearms and hands as he gripped your hips possessively.

‘My good little slut. You feel so good. Can that idiot fuck you like this? Can he make you scream like a slut for him?’ he grunted, continuing his relentless assault.

‘No- Shi- sui… so good’ you whined, leaning against him, trembling with your comedown.

He did not stop, licking your throat and biting down on it, moaning along with you.

‘You’re mine. My pretty girl’ he grunted, his hand slipping to rub at your clit until you were sobbing and moaning for all the neighbours to hear.

‘Yes- yes, I’m yours-‘ you moaned, trembling in his lap, feeling a second, more violent orgasm building inside you.

‘Want me to fill you up with my cum, baby? Of course you do. A little slut like you… not so stubborn like this, mh? That’s right. Beg me to cum inside you’ he urged, rolling your clit between his talented fingers until you started panting, throbbing and clamping repeatedly around him.

‘Please, cum inside me, Shisui- please. Gonna cum again’ you breathed, and Shisui wrapped a hand around your throat, forcing you to watch as he pushed two fingers in your mouth and let you bounce on his cock and chase your orgasm as he choked you and praised you, whispering more filth and angling his hips to better pound against your g-spot.

‘Yeah- cum for me, pretty slut- cum for me’ he groaned, and you had no choice but to obey, with a jolt of your hips and a scream muffled by his fingers.

He also let out a strained moan, his teeth sinking above your clavicle as he spilled his cum deep inside you.

‘Told you so’ he said after a few minutes of holding you against him as you steadied your breathing.

You let out a long breath, exhausted.

‘You’re an asshole, Shisui’ you breathed, a smile ghosting your lips. He laughed, looking at your reflection in the mirror.

‘And yet you love me’ he said with a smile.

‘And yet, I love you’ you conceded, completely forgetting what you’d been arguing about.

Sakura Haruno fic recs: ANBU

AHHHH!!!! I love ANBU fics, especially when they involve Sakura. It was such a cool concept, which was unfortunately never fully expanded upon. However, our lack of knowledge regarding the shadow corps allows for some really cool fic ideas since authors can take creative liberty on the structure and workings of the division.

In my opinion, Sakura had the most potential out of team 7 to join ANBU (at least more than Naruto). It's all about being discreet and efficient and although she wasn't strong during og, she possessed abilities that would be valuable for this. Her clever mind, chakra control, and genjutsu potential would've made her a good fit. Naruto was too flamboyant and Sasuke was too reckless and cocky, but this is just my take. However, with her new skill set from her training with Tsunade, I don't think she would be able to go down that path anymore.

Also, try out my ANBU ROOT list (some overlap).

Started: 2024.08.06

Last Updated: 2024.08.29

note: feel free to check out my master list which has a bunch of Sakura Haruno fic recs (all organized)!

----

Masks by mads999 || ao3 || kakasaku || E || canon divergent || complete

1. Sakura's Inner is far more diabolical than anyone ever expected 2. Crows prove to be cruel mentors 3. Sakura comes to learn exactly how much she hates Kakashi (as well as how alike they are, in the most terrible of ways)

Kakashi is a hateful turd and Sakura is spiteful! I hate this ship and I'm not a big fan of Kakashi here, but boy is this fic good. One of the best character developments I've read for Sakura and she certainly becomes of force to be reconned with. The ANBU lore in Masks is absolutely phenomenal and I love the whole system that is put into place as it adds for some drama (lol). Also, can we talk about how awesome crow summons are????

.

Five Kingdoms for the Dead - Evil Is A Relative Term || ffn || M || canon divergence || complete

After the Forest of Death, Sakura comes to realize that being weak is no longer an option. However, she finds that change is sometimes painful and that truth doesn't always come easy. Luckily, she'll have some help along the way.

It's been a while since I've read Five Kingdoms for the Dead, but I just remember it being absolutely great! I'll be honest, I found a lot of the mind stuff pretty confusing at times, but it was still enjoyable. Also, some great characters are utilized in this fic such as Neji, Sai, and Itachi. Makes me really wish that we saw more of Sakura and Neji working together in Naruto since I think they compliment each other quite well.

.

Trials of Change - Espoiretreves || ao3 || gen || time travel AU || complete

Haruno Sakura made a promise. Looking in the eyes of her Shisou and the reanimated Hokage, she took on the most important mission of her life. Go back in time and try to prevent the 4th Shinobi War. Now, Sakura is back to her 5-year-old body, with all the knowledge and haunting memories of the future. She vows to keep her precious people safe and stop certain events from happening, without altering the timeline too much. The trials her emotions and logic put her through have her questioning her very existence, but for the sake of peace, she has to push forward. No matter what.

Trials of Change is actually apart of a time travel series and I have to say that it is probably one of the best of the genre! Now, Sakura is not in ANBU here, but she works very closely with team Ro (Kakashi's ANBU team) and it's a huge part of the story, so I'm choosing to count it anyway. I really adore all of the worldbuilding and backstories going on here in addition to the fact that there are breaks. Yes, the story keeps moving, but there are other things going on, like playdates, and not just Sakura trying to save the world. Also, if you love Shisui then definitely check this out since he has a huge role and his and Sakura's friendship is just so precious.

.

bite me and see, said the fly to the spider - MirrorImage003 || ao3 || itasaku || T || non-massacre AU || ongoing

In which Sakura is not initially a part of Team 7. In which she wears her failures like armor and brandishes her fears like her most trusted weapons. In which I do what hundreds of other authors have done before me, and rewrite Sakura's story. Non-massacre AU. Canon Divergent. Slow-burn.

After Sakura's first team, consisting of the graduating class's "expendables," dies, she joins team 7 and faces backlash along her shinobi journey. Sakura doesn't join ANBU until the later chapters so fair warning that there isn't too much content in that regards (unless it updates). Nonetheless, Sakura views ANBU as vital to her career as it offers her the highest clearance she can get. Gaining her opportunities for information her civilian-born status didn't allow her privy to.

.

The Sixth Shadow - thinknicht || ao3 || kakasaku || M || canon divergent - eventual time travel AU || ongoing

No one seemed to find it odd when little Haruno Sakura threw herself smack dab in front of a Chidori and Rasengan. Not even Kakashi stopped to wonder.(He really should have.)

The story of how Sakura came to be the sixth hogake despite all of the challenges thrown her way. I especially love Sakura's drive in addition to the political aspects. However, be warned that Kakashi is an absolute HATER (in the beginning), but he gets better! The Sixth Shadow is extremely long and I only just recently got to Sakura's introduction to ANBU, so I can't say too much in that regard.

.

Daughter of Fire - justjstuff || ao3 || kakasaku || E || canon divergence || incomplete (maybe ongoing)

Sakura got up and didn’t bother brushing the dirt from her dress. She had a feeling she was about to get even dirtier.She looked at the memorial stone one last time, memorizing the characters without even realizing she was doing it. It would serve from that moment on as a reminder of her determination. She wouldn’t let Naruto and Sasuke join the names carved on that stone.That was her nindo.

Sakura's growth throughout Daughter of Fire is great and realistic all while pointing out aspects from the original series which were flawed and dare I say misogynistic. I struggled a bit in the beginning to justify her abilities, but overall the story is really well done and the ANBU aspects are quite intriguing.

.

cut the head off the snake - itsthechocopuff || ao3 || T || time travel AU || complete

when eighteen-year-old, post-war Sakura is thrown back into her tiny, pre-Academy body, she makes a decision. she'd had a childhood once already, and this time, she's more interested in Not Dying when the inevitable shit hits the proverbial fan. so she will work harder, care less, kill more, and smile when she's done.and hey, if she ends up reviving an extinct nature transformation to attract the most corrupt, power-hungry man from her timeline, all the better for her, right?

Such a unique take on a time travel AU and Cut the Head Off the Snake executes it perfectly. Sakura decides that her first order of business is to infiltrate ROOT and that's exactly what she does. Sai, Shin, and Shisui are all great characters and team Ro is present as well. Very good!

.

Flowers - Idunmy || ao3 || E || kakasaku || canon divergence || ongoing

Flowers only bloom just before they wilt When Sakura loses her fight against Ino in her Chuunin exams, she questions her ability to ever become a kunoichi, too weak to protect herself, let alone her village One wrongful promotion later and Sakura gets a second chance in the shape of a mysterious new teacher who against all odds is willing to put her faith in a young girl with potential and a willingness to fight. Or- a fix-it inspired fic where Sakura grows to be the powerhouse she was destined to become.

Flowers is a newer series (which has recent updates) and I love it! Critiques are made towards the medical ninja training, which I believe needed to be discussed and it's refreshing to see. In most ANBU fics I've read, Sakura is immediately put onto the strongest team, but here it's a bit different. She begins on a demolition squad, which not only suits her skill set quite well, but is a realistic approach to how she would be introduced to the corps. Anyway, it's one of my favorite reads at the moment and I really like where the story is going.

names. - waterpllar || ao3 || T || gen || canon divergence || complete

There are no names or faces in ANBU. Everything is designed to be strictly formal, efficient and professional. A recently orphaned Sakura, however, learns that some regulations aren't meant to be followed, and finds a place in Team Ro after being shunned from her former teammates. (fic prompt from anon on tumblr: orphaned sakura in anbu with yamato, genma, and team ro.)

AHHHH poor Sakura. After her parents' death Sakura seeks Tsunade's help out of desperation to become useful. Under recommendation, Sakura's new goal is to make it into ANBU.

Equinox - FM_White || ao3 || itasaku || M || anbu AU || complete

ItaSaku (Post Uchiha Massacre) AU: Climbing through the ranks of Konoha, Sakura finds herself with the invitation to join ANBU and a chance to learn from one of the most renowned and legendary ninja in the world. Despite her efforts to grow stronger however, she finds the world isn't as black and white as it looks and that some truths are easier to hide than others.

I don't remember Equinox very well, but I love most works by this author sooo. Anyway, Itachi stays in Konoha and instead it's Sasuke that goes rougue. Sakura, Naruto, and Shikamaru are newly joined ANBU members and all placed on a team with Itachi and things go from there.

stars in our eyes as we dream of the heavens (the gods walk among us, sweet child, do not forget) - snickiebear || ao3 || kakasaku || T || age-swap AU || oneshot complete

“Kakashi-sensei,” Naruto whispered, staring at his teacher, horror plain on his face. “You’re married?” Lazily, Kakashi looked down at his gloveless hand where his ring rested, “It would appear so.”

Sakura is born in the same generation as Kakashi and turns out as a badass ANBU married to him. This is super wholesome as it's a lot of the two of them bonding with Kakashi's genin team (Sai makes three) in an effort to help them out. It's a series so you can read more of the events taking place prior to the fic.

Anachronistic Drift  - Elesrea  || ffn || gen || T || time travel AU || incomplete

Her plan was flawless. Save Shisui. Save the world. Time-travel, Sakura-centric AU

Sakura spends years training to be sent back in time and save the world from Sasuke. She isn't in ANBU, but rather poses as one in order to keep an anonymous status on her doings both in and out of the village.

Sakura - lilac haze || ffn/ao3 || M || minasaku || time travel AU || complete

AU. Non-Canon. Time Travel. Please see inside for full warnings. Cross posted on Ao3. On his deathbed he was granted eternal peace and place to rest for all of time. Of course that was not appealing to him. Ever unpredictable to the end he had a counter offer. One that the Sage had to consider. In which Sakura's going to have a rough time. A really rough time.

Sakura is probably one of my all time favorite fics because the emotions are just spectacular. The story is pretty heavy on ANBU and ROOT aspects, which I always enjoy, but I wouldn't say it's a major focus. However, there is an emphasis on the unfair treatment towards kunoichi. Anyway, the characterizations and storytelling are beautifully done. Please share this author some love.

Check TWs before hand!!

Hope y'all enjoy these recs, and please feel free to send me some if you have any!!!! I really appreciate when you do :)

Girl fuck you omg?? Fake ass fan gtf out of here

is shisui overrated? yes, he is

Most of the content we have is not even canon and we didn't even see much of him he wasn't a big deal to be called one of the best uchihas.

that being said, he's my baby and i love him.

[uchihaharlot]

Hello! I hope you are fine <3🤲💗

I wanted to ask you about some Uchiha HCs as parents (especially Shisui haha). Idk, things like "How they would react if their Y/N told them they were going to be parents" or "How many children would they have if they had them and how would they treat them?"

🥹 mmm Shisui. Yes. 🙌🏻 Since I’m in a fog, I’ll choose Obito and Shisui — I will probably add more later and reblog then. Focusing more on Shisui though.

(I sort of expanded on this a bit. Leading up to birth etc).

Suggestive themes — mostly N/SFW; pregnancy reactions; and some other cute shit idk how to categorize. Ok yea, I went a bit crazy on Shisui, he’s my blorbo.

Obito:

• Even if it’s planned, he’s going to spiral. It worked on the first time? Duh, Uchiha. Really just stupid luck.

• ‘Already?’ — Obito; ‘….I mean…that’s what happens when you have sex..’ — her. She’s so patient though with him.

• Obito will spend the next few days not necessarily moping, but in minor distress. The whole thing about having a baby this soon, even though it was planned. Has really got him thinking.

• ‘I need to get my shit together.’ He’s not wrong, but they’re not in a bad place. All the financial matters were sorted out before she even went off the pill. She’s going to spend a lot of time easing his worries when he should be settling hers.

• He thinks they can’t have sex anymore 😂 ‘I’ll hurt the baby.’ This woman will have to coax him to satisfy her needs and being hormonal, he’s going to get scared and cave.

• Every time she’s sick, he’s sick. lol. Obito is one of those husbands that are sympathy ill when their wife is unwell, pregnant or not. Though the morning sickness he had worse than her.

• When she actually starts showing, the tables are turned. Obito can’t keep his hands off her. This is amazing! ‘I put that in you…’ —🫠 👈🏻 her. Yea, he did, that big dummy stuffed her good.

• When she is too big to do anything for herself, Obito takes center stage in everything. He matured rather quickly, strange how the prospect of becoming a dad alters an individual.

• 😅 Hit it from the back too rough and ultimately the orgasm she had made her go into labor (I know this is false advertisement but it’s Obito, he’s that guy).

• Nearly passes out as his wife is sprawled up on the stirrups, looks anyways and dear lord, ‘are you recording this?’ She says. Yea, he is. Unintentionally the sharingan populates and he might as well.

• Holds his son for the first time and cries. I think most men do, he’s the most precious thing in this world. Obito didn’t think he could ever make up for what he did in the past, but this one human. This tiny, itty bitty baby boy might just be his Hail Mary. That he could even bring something so good into the world makes him soften even more.

Shisui:

• Family man. 100%. They’ve been trying, and it’s not taking. Not because they’re incapable of it, both healthy and young. He’s just so busy. The days they end up trying don’t line up with her cycle and I mean they’re not just going to not have sex. Any chance he gets to put a bit of him and a little Uchiha inside her are precious moments.

• Firm believer in holding her legs up for a half hour 😂 ‘it has to marinate.’ Big eye rolls from his wife, who just lets him do things his way. After a few months, she finally begs him to just take a week off when she’s the most susceptible of his seed taking root.

• The mere idea that she is rearing and ready to go has Shisui taking his wife at the most unexpected of times. Maybe a week off was a good idea. Needless to say, the house chores are piling up. She wasn’t particularly fond of being shoved head first in the dryer either.

• ‘Making baby is the fun part…’ is his excuse when she chides him for it. Dear lord, this man shooting blanks and still trying.

• Then the unimaginable is announced, well not unimaginable but it felt like too long to actually confirm they were successful. Shisui from this point forward makes sure his pregnant wife gets everything she wants and then some.

• There is no shock period. This was all planned, Shisui is eternally grateful that his wife will be ushering their next of kin into the world. All the hard work is on her now and he is going to make sure she is treated like royalty.

• Though he questions some of her cravings, ‘…really? Ok….’ He won’t judge her, but goddamn it’s not something he’d eat.

• Copious amounts of pampering. Spends ridiculous amounts of money to have her swollen feet pedicured once a month, if she doesn’t want that he will do it himself. Her care is nonnegotiable and she is getting big with life inside of her! She needs some reprieve from the constant drain on her body.

• We aren’t even going to lie, they pretty much have sex up until the baby is born, though not like how Obito did. It’s maybe twice a week, which is less often but enough. If she’s not in the mood for it herself, she would offer to relieve him. Though he might feel guilty, so he would just use his mouth in return if she wasn’t opposed to something less invasive on her aching body. She’ll agree, Shisui is talented in those regards.

• She was making tea in the kitchen when her water broke, Shisui was out on a mission!!! She had to get Itachi to send word of bird and less than an hour he’s back. Exhausted and tired, he made it for the birth. He knew that he shouldn’t have taken that mission but she was adamant he do what he felt necessary for their village. Such a understanding woman!

• Is planting kisses to her forehead, cheeks and lips whenever she starts pushing. Holds one of her legs when the baby is finally crowning, and watches the miracle of birth. The fruit of their passion and love is wayfered into this big world. So beautiful and precious. A son, I often hc Shisui would name his first son Kagami. (I’m pretty sure the series alluded them being related).

• 🥹🥹🥹🥹 👈🏻 shisui 👉🏻 🥴😴 his wife after labor. He is wholly enamored at the tiny being in his arms. Takes the time to figure out which features their baby got from who. Undoubtedly this kid has his mop head of curls. Her nose and eye color, his eye shape and ears. 100% them.

I saw "9/10th with Fem!Naruto" and immediately thought "okay but platonic"

Because this is a village full of ANBU and jounin and That Bitch Danzo. So, being a stalker yandere would be kinda hard. BUT Tiny!Naru has ANBU guards and ROOT was still legally operating when he was smol so there probably was ROOT in his guard.

What I'm saying is that Tiny!Sai thinks Fem!Naruto must be the will of Amatersau Hi no Kami walking or her daughter or something because there is no other way she's that warm and bright in both personality and complexion otherwise. But the important thing is that he thinks she's one of the divine.

I'm also saying that the reason of Danzo "dying of old age" being Tiny!Sai heard Uchiha Shisui say "she's adorable" once would be hilarious. Instant trust. Like I can just imagine the wheels turning in both of their adorable little heads.

Shisui "he can't advocate against the clan if he's dead" Uchiha

&

Sai "I heard him talk shit about the Little Goddess one time and it will be his last"

I mean there are plot holes because Sai didn't graduate until later for one but. Just imagine. After Danzo's death many younger ROOT children just get shown into the academy/genin corps and suddenly Naruto has a following because they're easily manipulated if something is presented as a fact and Sai can't shut the fuck up.

I'm sorry this ran away with me but this got me really excited I might even write it but also everyone else is welcome to write this because I find the whole thing hilarious

Oh god this would be great platonic like you said, it'd be great as Naruto/Sai, or even a Naruto/Harem kinda of thing because yes ye yes to it all

[theheirofthesharingan]

Very random but do you have any headcanons about Itachi and by extension Shisui's lifestyle in the modern era? For example, would they use Android or Iphone, or what sort of food preferences they would have like gluten free or vegan? Or what about their workout regimen? Not to mention, the kind of shampoo they would use (sorry if that's too specific)

I personally see Itachi as a very reticent person who would thrive in marathon training outside of any combat training. Do you have any opinions about that or anything related to Itachi headcanons in general?

In the modern AU, I see Itachi going through the same kind of things he does in canon, but on a lesser scale. His dynamic with his family and Shisui would be more or less the same.

Itachi is the Android person. He doesn't like showing off and is content with the simpler things in life. He is vegetarian. Shisui doesn't mind eggs and some seafood.

His favourite person is Sasuke. Obviously. But Shisui is up close as well. There were times in Itachi's life when he had no idea what was going on and Shisui stood beside him. Itachi is always thankful for that.

The only thing Itachi doesn't compromise with is his hair. So, he regularly does shampoo and uses conditioner on his hair. Shisui doesn't really care about his own and if he's running out of time, he doesn't mind using washing powder on his hair either.

Itachi is definitely introverted. Though since in the modern world he might not be training rigorously because he's not a ninja, he'll spend a lot of time studying.

He reads Kafka, Murakami, Plath, Dazai, Dostoevsky, Nabokov, and Camus a lot. Shisui tries to get him to read something else as well but Itachi gets bored of his recs real soon. Shisui and he argue a lot on the kind of books they like. Sasuke just stays out of their arguments because he's more of a comic book person. His arguments tend to be with Naruto the most. And they're never on the same page.

Itachi has a strained relationship with his parents. It's not too bad, but he feels uncomfortable whenever he's home. He knows he's loved, but he can't bring himself to be comfortable with his parents around. His strict father and his mom being an ideal wife have contributed a lot to him being inexpressive. Being a genius, a prodigy, best at everything is tiring. Everyone thinks he's having the best of all worlds, but in fact, he sometimes breaks down because he can't handle it. As if he's not allowed to fail. He wants his parents to be proud of him.

He knows he's the best at what he does. It's not outright arrogance but confidence that shows in his persona. He always ends up stealing the limelight, no matter who the object of centre is meant to be. It occasionally causes a rift between him and Sasuke. No, Sasuke doesn't say it out loud, but Itachi understands that Itachi stealing the attention that Sasuke deserved hurt his little brother. He hates seeing Sasuke sad because of him. Once he understands what is wrong, Itachi always removes himself from the picture, making last minute excuses why he can't make it. It happens with him and Shisui too. But Shisui tries to make him understand that he doesn't mind it and it isn't his fault. Though Itachi won't listen. He doesn't like being inconvenience to the people he loves.

Itachi is Sasuke's rock. Every time Sasuke needs something or wants someone to root for him, he always has Itachi's support. What he doesn't realize is that Itachi needs his support just as much. Itachi finds dinners with his parents comfortable only when Sasuke is around. Sasuke talks a lot, and that's therapeutic for Itachi. Sasuke's presence makes his life so much easier.

Both the brothers sometimes have heart-to-heart with each other. Sasuke mostly rants about his life and Itachi offers his opinions and suggestions, most of them work out for Sasuke. Sasuke wants to know about Itachi too and Itachi has no idea what to say about himself and his life. He doesn't want to burden Sasuke with all that he feels. Not that Sasuke doesn't manage to get some answers out of Itachi. He's understood that asking his older brother questions directly won't help. So he beats around the bush a lot until Itachi begins to speak.

One day when their parents were out of town, Sasuke managed to pry some answers out of his brother, and was horrified to know that the Itachi Uchiha had struggles too.

Ever since they were kids, Shisui would come over to the Uchiha household for sleepovers. And when Mikoto and Fugaku fell asleep, all three kids would indulge in pillow fights. Sasuke and Shisui would gang up on Itachi because that's one of those things that draw some reaction out of Itachi.

The brainrot over ROOT Shisui-sensei with Naruto-Sai-Shin as his students/team is back with a vengeance

Currently going feral over the idea of Danzō being able to convince Hiruzen that getting Naruto into ROOT would be the best course of action to start training him as soon as possible on how to be obedient and use the Kyuubi's power "for the better of the village" and growing up alongside Sai and of course Shisui is also there because Danzō needs someone who is openly capable of keeping the Kyuubi under control (since Danzō can't admit that he has stolen Mokuton and Sharingans) and maybe Shin doesn't die so Naruto Sai and Shin can become a team under Shisui's guidance as their sensei
