'' The world as we know it, The deadlands. From cold, frozen and unforgiving oceans, thick, humid and overgrown marshlands, and a scorching field of death in the down under... the deadlands are foul, wretched and teeming with dangers amongst the woods, lurking for their merciless prey. A tough place that only breeds tougher nightmares. Home to a plethora of horrifying, monstrous dragons, of all kinds that rule the skies and oceans... towering amongst other beasts, casting their shadow as they fly and burning whatever comes across their path to let their presence be known. The further one travels across the unruly waves will only meet its fate at the world's end. A veil of thick ocean fog, followed by the sound of rushing water and a drop off, down to a insignificant petty death.... nobody truly lives to see what's beyond the gates of hell.''

Kankuro and his relationship with rules and figures of authority

I've written a lot about why I like Kankuro's character and many of his little traits and idiosyncrasies that, in my opinion, make him unique. Another trait of his tho, that I think I've only superficially touched upon, and think deserves more attention, is his tendency to break rules. Or not respecting figures of authority would be more like it. As we all know, one of the main tenets of shinobi is that of complete and utter loyalty to the village, and all that it entails. That also comes with respect to figures of authority (the Kage and clan leaders) as well as their rules. That's what the Will of Fire is, really. A way to indoctrinate children into becoming obedient soldiers who don't question the system.

Now, the will of fire mainly applies to Konoha, so one question I've always had is: What about Suna? Do they share a similar philosophy? The simple answer is: yes, they, of course, do. It might not be called 'Will of fire' in Suna (some fans speculate in Suna it'd be Will of Wind. Even if it's never been named in Canon). But they still follow very similar principles. Heck, I'm pretty sure there's a scene somewhere in the anime, where it is stated the sand sibs stayed in Leaf for a while, to learn from them how they ran their academy system? To implement a similar one in Suna or smth. Especially after Gaara's rise to Kazekage, it's a given fact he's gonna embrace his beloved Naruto's will of fire. In fact, it's also very known that Suna's also way harsher than Konoha, supposedly.

That's where I started thinking of the 3 main sand shinobi we know: the sand siblings. I came to the realization that while it's true that Temari and especially Gaara are very obedient shinobi who abide by the rules. Kankuro really doesn't? At least, he doesn't respect them as much as his sibs. Boy does whatever he wants, not caring about the consequences.

His introduction was very explicitly of him breaking the rules, with Temari urging him to stop it.

One of his lines is him very explicitly saying he just wants to play until the 'boss' (Gaara) comes. He's very clearly going against standard shinobi protocol, picking up a fight with these kids just cause he felt like it. In this instance, he's breaking the rules. They were probably told to keep it low-key while in the Leaf, and he went and immediately did the complete opposite.

It happens again in Shippuden, after Gaara is kidnapped by Deidara and Kankuro is very explicitly told not to engage in combat:

And once again, he does the complete opposite. He not only tracked the two Akatsuki but also tried to fight them on his own. The funny thing is, it was thanks to his rash way of thinking that they managed to get Gaara back. As without him fighting Sasori, he would've never gotten a piece of his cape, and t7 would've never been able to locate their hideout in the desert. There's also the two instances of him picking up a fight with one of the council elders and Oonoki himself in the Kage meeting arc. Kankuro is deep down, very pragmatic. Whenever he approaches a situation, he does so in a practical way that will lead to positive results he can benefit from. Nowhere is that better shown than this scene here in the forest of death:

This is his main philosophy, which is completely detached from any shinobi teachings. Now, some might think that is exactly what shinobi are taught to do, and I'd say: no, not really. With the shinobi world's militaristic ideals, they live by the rule that violence is the solution to everything and to end all problems standing in the way. That diplomacy should only be the outcome after the violence is done to force the losing side into agreeing to the winners' rules. That's how the Uchiha massacre happened and how the shinoby system was enforced, as well as the idea of having jinchuriki as super powerful weapons. Since Konoha was the 1st to do it, and they were the strongest superpower, all other main village's had to follow the same system if they didn't wanna be crushed. If I'm not wrong, and correct me if I am, the chunin exams were also an invention of Konoha, and the other villages joined in. Kankuro twists that into 'violence should only be used in extreme circumstances when there's big profit to be gained from it'. He doesn't see violence as the first and only tool, or even as a solution. He only considers it if the outcome from it would be a preferable one to him and his loved ones (his sibs). It is very clear, too, because when they came across the rain guys in the forest, Kankuro didn't think it was a good idea to get into a fight with them. His plan in his head consisted of first tracking and obtaining an idea of what scroll they had. Only if it was the scroll they needed would they attack. And head to the tower after that, without getting into any other unnecessary fights that could potentially lead to unnecessary losses. It's in stark contrast to team 8, who immediately set up traps to wipe as many people as possible out of the competition, even if they only needed one scroll. Kiba and Co were willing to get into unnecessary fights to get rid of hypothetical problems that other contestants could pose in the long run (Konoha's teachings), whereas Kank evades that, as much as possible. Which is a very strategic way of thinking things when seen in retrospect. He also tells Gaara that while the exam may be no big deal to him, it's still dangerous to Kank and Tem. Once again, highlighting how much he cares about his sibs (Temari in this instance).

It's also worthy of note that the only authority we've ever seen Kankuro actively respect is that of his siblings

Which should tell us everything we need to know: Kankuro really doesn't care about shinobi rules or ideals, as long as his siblings are safe and out of danger. While yeah, in this image, he's shown fretting about their plan. Let's also keep in mind that once the attack started, they went against it by carrying Gaara away from the village so he wouldn't cause any real damage. Also, he's literally deferring to his sister here on what to do, a sister who not only is just 1 year older than him, but was also pretty much against this whole invasion instead of going to ask his adult jounin instructor for advice, which once again, shows how little he respects figures of authority. He does so once again when him and Temari are in the forest, on the run from Sasuke, and he asks her for instructions. I don't know how else to say that Kankuro doesn't follow shinobi rules strictly. He just takes the decisions that will ensure the safety of his siblings. He's following the rules of his heart.

Another instance of him following the rules of his heart is by comparing his speech to his squad to the one Gaara gave to the whole alliance

Kankurou doesn't give big talks about protecting the whole world and its authorities. He's highlighting the things that matter the most to him: family. That is his main motivator. Protect his family cause they're his loved ones. If we look at Gaara's speech on the other hand:

I don't wanna say it's bad, but he's practically saying that his main motivator is protecting Naruto. Through his speech, he brings Naruto as the golden standard of friendship and breaking village barriers that they should aspire to and protect. Also, he ends his speech by stating the fact that they're all shinobi, which feels pretty much like an admission of 'we were raised to fight and die against the bigger bad no matter our differences'. He's saying that instead of wasting time fighting each other, they should concentrate on becoming friends to defeat this common enemy who's looking to hurt Naruto and the whole world as a result. He, at no point, brings up their families or loved ones as motivators for these people to keep fighting. Naruto is the motivator that comes to Gaara's mind and how he made an intrinsic relation between Naruto's safety and the safety of the whole world. In Gaara's mind, the world is safe as long as Naruto is. If anything happens to Naruto, the whole world goes to heck. Which, when seen in retrospect, isn't that motivating. Knowing that the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of some 16 year old, and the role of every other person in the alliance is to die to protect and ensure the safety of said 16 year old cause he's the most important one. That's what Gaara was saying, basically. Also, looking at it: Naruto ends up becoming an authority, the most powerful in the world, in fact. So, Gaara's speech is all about protecting a future figure of authority to ensure the safety of the world as a result.

Last one here, but this characterization, is kept consistent even in fillers. In the 2nd rendition of the chunin exams, there's a part that took place in the Suna desert, and a big sandstorm happened, putting the contestants' lives at stake. When it's decided that Kankuro and Temari would have to go rescue them, this was his reaction:

He's complaining about having to rescue the contestants but ends up agreeing with it only because the command came from Gaara. You can bet if the order came from anyone else but Gaara (or even Temari), Kankuro would've tried to argue and come up with ideas to ensure the safety of the participants without having to endanger his or Temari's lives. Even when he agreed to it tho, and they go rescue these people, Kankuro is still pouting, and he doesn't even let them ride on Salamander for safety. Once again, showing how he doesn't abide by the rules, he does whatever th he wants, as long as his sibs aren't in danger.

In conclusion: I just find it interesting how much of a rebel Kankuro is. Now, yeah. You can say that, at the end of the day, Kankuro is just serving Gaara, who abides by Konoha's will of fire. So, Kankuro ends up abiding to it as a result. While that might be true, I think we shouldn't miss the main point of his character: his main purpose is protecting Gaara. That is the role he plays in the large scheme of things. Whether he has to follow any shinobi rules to do it is an entirely different matter. He's the type to follow rules, only if said rules ensure the safety of his family. Also, he doesn't view Gaara as an authority figure. He views him as a little brother. So, when he wants to protect Gaara, he's just doing his elder brother role, not looking after his political leader. It's very obvious, too, in how when Suna was destroyed by Deidara, Kank didn't give two shits about his village, and instead went running after the criminals who kidnapped his brother. I just think it's such a phenomenal character trait that makes him stand out, and more people should take it into account.

a lot of fandom exchange/events etiquette seems very strongly agreed upon by people whose entire lives are devoted to fandom rather than juggling it as a hobby alongside school/work/childcare etc, which makes sense because i don't think anyone else would have the time to be this passionate about the rigidity of those rules, and man it shows

“The Three Saints”, print on cardstock, pavement outside Findlater’s at London Bridge Station, London, April 2025

The collector of this fine modern art piece notes the surprising location of the piece when found, namely: abandoned, recently trodden on, and in a generally dilapidated state.

It was subsequently concluded that the circumstances surrounding the piece added to its artistic value; whereby it was left where it was found for the appreciation of others.

I keep imagining the whole 'I'm still here sequence from treasure planet' scenario that must have gone down between rye and varric before the game starts and rye with their wide newly hopeful eyes like 'boy hope no one weaponizes this rare warm safe nurturing relationship in my life that makes me feel real and alive for the first time in so long against me in some of the cruelest and most premeditated ways imaginable somewhere down the line because that would sort of wreck me as a person maybe'. and then I don't feel so bad about where I'm headed

Please read this by putting it through google translate image translation feature on phone and cry with me,

or i can summarize it to you

"Why does human help the weak?" [ You just do it automatically, don't u think? ] - Kalim [ I was taught to do so. ] - Deuce [ Helping others is a beautiful thing. ] - Rook [ It's a natural for the strong to help the weak. ] - Riddle

[ It's just human's instinct of wanting to survive together, is it not? ] - Trey Jade finds it weird, because in the sea, no thought will be given to the weak. The strongest will survive. Call it an ego on land if you want, but that is how it has always been in that big pool of deep never ending water.

Jade is a mermaid type who is rather sensitive when turned into human. Walking with legs feel like walking on knives for him. To counter that problem, he always had his transforming potion mixed with a lot amount of pain killers.

One time he started to feel pain on his feet, he refused to be helped as he is fixated of being a strong creature & not wanting to be positioned as something weak. When he finally let trey helped him, he kept asking if there's any compensation he had to pay for having Trey helped him. "It is just pure kindness for underclassman", Trey said. Having it not sitting right on him, Jade told Trey his secret about his human legs' sensitivity problem as a form of payment. "That's too much information for that price." "Such critical thing! I never tell anyone that information as it would endanger my life!" "So.., are you telling me because you trust me?"

"No. I am telling you because I want (to keep receiving) that pure goodwill from you, my senior."

"That's an unnatural & greedy remark from a benevolent Octavinelle's student. Such a bad boy, Jade." Trey touched Jade's face in soft scolding manner & it made the mermaid quietly flustered with feeling he never knew he could felt before. Finding Trey's affection dear to him, at some other time later, he pretended that his feet hurts. And he lied about not bringing any pain killers with him. Trey who was wary about lying Jade, used his magic to overwrite the pain on Jade's feet, so he could walk by himself. But Jade sulked. Because, rly, he just wants to be carried by Trey again. Sensing this, Trey gave in, and carried Jade on his back, pleasing him.

Previously seeing Trey danced with Cater & Rook at other events, Jade invited Trey to go to an abandoned castle. He asked him to dance with him.

"I want to look good in front of you. But I'm not good at dancing," Trey said.

"Good." Jade replied with a smile, happy with his awkwardness. "I am not familiar with human's dance either."

They started to dance. And flirted a little. "Your eye is like olive." (Typical TREY) And when they were about to kiss, 3 overblot ghosts broke in.

"'ll take responsibility" Jade said, instantly feeling responsible as he was the one who brought them there. He managed to defeat one of the ghost. But in the middle of battle, the usual pain started to seep in to Jade's feet. For real, this time. His legs gave out.

With 2 overblot ghosts left still, Trey put himself into the middle of the fight. "I don't have enough magic to both overwrite your pain & defeat these overblot ghosts at the same time. So, run away while I try to hold them back."

Jade started to think how unacceptable it is that he is protected by someone who is supposed to be weaker than him. He should have been the one protecting Trey as mermaid is a stronger being, however he is nothing but a hindrance right now. Trey would even win the fight if it was not because of him.

So Jade found a way. He made noise to get the overblot attention's. He directed them to him so he could take them out by letting the chandelier fall over all of them together, including him. He was so ready to be crushed & took all those responsibility with him.

But, of course, Trey can't have that! Trey saved Jade at the last minute. He pushed Jade away, so the chandelier missed him. But in consequence, Trey had his legs broken as they were the ones that got crushed by the chandelier, instead -- together with the remaining overblot ghosts.

Jade who still didn't realize the situation, said "... Oh. That's too unreasonable to suddenly jump in, under the chandelier and come..." "I can't help it."

Jade slowly turned his head.

"It's too easy to want to help the person you love." "...So let me help you out." The horror of the current situation finally creeped to Jade's face.

"T-TREY-SAN! TREY-SAN!!!!!!!"

[ What do i do now?? What do i do??? ]

"Go, return by yourself even without me..."

Jade started to think of all his options. Phone? out of range. Magic? Out of the question, he just realized that his magic gem is now broken. The only mirror to come back to the school was at the foot of the mountain, while the castle they were in was at the very top of it.

[ Carry this person on your back. ] The voice in his head said...

"Carry this person on my back--?" he turned his head, and suddenly imagined the path of 'knives' he had to step on to go back. Not alone even.., but together with this person. ...The additional weight surely would pressed his feet harder to the ground, causing even more pain.

Trembling from the thought of the pain, Jade thought... "This is bad..., I only have one more painkiller...."

He took out that single pain killer in his pocket, and put into his mouth, seemingly ready and prepared to walk; at least a few steps back without pain. But no, he refused to do so. Trey is wounded. He must experience pain too right now. Lips-to-lips, he gave the wounded Trey the painkiller & let him swallow it.

"I'll help you now..." Jade said, repaying on Trey's deed & now walking back without painkiller, with his dear senior on his back.

His feet hurts. So badly that he started to bit his lips & let them bleed. The sudden thought of wild animals attacking them in this situation, made him shuddered.

Near them, he spotted a good running river.

...

[ I can just abandoned this person... and jump into the river. ...With that I can easily reach the foot of the mountain. ... With that, I can become a strong creature again, not the helpless one like what I am right now. ]

...

For a second Jade lost in thought of abandoning the weak like what the sea always taught him to do. But then, reminiscing how Trey carried him at that crucial time when he needed him to, he said to himself...

"No. That doesn't matter... "

"Because right now ..., I am helping him out of pure love."

And so, he kept enduring, until Idia who wandered at night to get his late night snack from the school's vending machine, found them who successfully came back, fainted at the hallway.

--

Time passed.

--

...

"Jade refuses to walk for awhile now." Floyd said, guiding Trey further inside to the longue. It might be because that event; so traumatic & painful, that Jade just wanted to forget entirely about walking all together. Or maybe it was out of guilt, for him being the reason that Trey had to be confined in the hospital room to recover & not being able to go anywhere. That's why, Jade isolated himself in the glass wall as a way to punish himself & share the same feeling with Trey.

"Sorry for the trouble." Trey replied, pushing his wheelchair with his hands.

"It's okay. It's Jade's own fault." Floyd replied, nonchalantly. Just like he always been. Oddly comforting, at the current situation. "Jade, sea turtle is here~~"

There he is. Jade, swimming in his mermaid form. Their eyes met. Seeing Trey sitting on a wheel chair, his eyes, glistened.

--

"So will your legs heal?" Jade was still in his mermaid form. He perched on surface of the longue's glass wall he was in, to talk to Trey.

"Yes."

"It's not just the bone fractures, right? It's also the ability to walk, right?"

"Of course."

...

Jade was relief. But he was still burdened with other feelings from the incident.

" --- IF I NEVER MET you, after graduating, I would have returned to the sea and keep being a strong creature forever....." "I am so scared and feeling so pathetic......."

...

Trey reminiscing the moment Jade carried him on his back, while enduring the tremendous pain on his feet, said, "You are...? At that time though, you looked like the strongest person in the world to me..." He patted Jade's head, consoling him.

Jade was relieved once again. " ... Trey-san ... " But it seems that this mermaid still has something in his mind...

"...When you risked your life, and let yourself be crushed under the chandelier..., was it all just because of the natural instinct inhabits in your body, OR-"

He didn't finish his question, and yet Trey answered. "It's because, I like you."

...

Jade proceeded to come out of the water, having his tail transformed to legs, once again after a long while. He approached Trey who sat there still with his immobilized legs.

"...I never thought I would ever need my legs again... He gazed Trey in the eyes. "But it is necessary...." "...There are a lot of things I want to do with you, with these legs..."

"...Many..."

And they both shared a kiss, which became the start of everything else.
