Boruto changed into a completely different person. He barely laughs, even at the jokes he would almost piss himself in. He’s not the same person he was months ago, obviously because he almost lost his sensei, but also because he feels guilty of not being able to do anything to help. All he could do was just stand there and hear Sasuke scream for us to run for our lives. You always made sure to reassure Boruto that it’s not his fault and that we were going to lose even if we gave it our all because of the amount of claw grimes Code had summoned.

You and Boruto were taking a break under a shade. He was sitting on a log and you were leaning on a tree drinking water. His back was facing you but you knew he was staring at the ground day dreaming. You walked towards him and hugged him from behind. “Your hair is getting pretty long. Mind if I give you a haircut?” You asked jokingly. “Yeah, if that’s what you’d like.” He replied. You were surprised he said yes. He gave you one of his kunai and sat still so that you wouldn’t mess up. “I’ve been thinking,” he said staying quiet for a bit before continuing. “We should go back to the leaf village to tell Sarada about Master Sasuke. Then come back. I just can’t let her live thinking that he is still ‘alive’ and well with us, you know?” He said. “If that’s what you think, then let’s go. When do you plan on going?” You replied. “As soon as you’re done with my hair. The village is in that direction I think.” Boruto said as he pointed. Once you were done trimming down his hair you patted his shoulder to let him know that it’s time to go. “Alright get your stuff ready. We are going to run the whole way.” He said waiting for you.

“Boruto, let’s take a break, we’ve been running for the past 25 minutes and my lungs feel like they’re about to fall out of my ass.” You told him gasping for air. “Okay then, let’s walk for now.” Nugget was tired too, he didn’t even run at all, you were carrying him the whole time. “Nugget you are being so dramatic. You didn’t even have to run like us! Here, you want some worms?” You asked your duck.

Boruto flinched, “Y/n, I just felt code’s chakra in the village, we have to go now.” He said, then proceeded to run faster than he was before leaving you behind. “Whelp, I know he can take care of Code himself so i’m in no rush,” you sighed. “Here Nugget, i’ll let you fly for now. Chase after me and Boruto okay?” You told Nugget as you set him free to fly. You were tired of holding him when you ran because your arm was getting numb.

You finally pinpointed exactly where Boruto is. Once you arrived, you saw him having his foot shoved on Code’s face mid air then slamming him to the ground. “It’s that kind of sick thinking that creeps girls out…” Boruto said to Code. Code at that moment took advantage of Boruto’s position and tried to slash him with his claws. Unsurprisingly Boruto dodged them landing right in front of Sarada with his back facing her. “I’ve been looking for you, Boruto. I didn’t expect you to show yourself so readily. Makes me regret not coming to Konoha a lot sooner.” Code said.

“Withdraw your monsters, all of them. Do it now, while you’re still able to control them and i’ll let you live.” Boruto replied. “Wait, hold on. What’d you just say? Did you forget how helpless you were against me two years ago? You’ve got some nerve to tell me that you’re going to spare my life!” Code said laughing. “You obviously heard me. So hurry up and do it, or else you’ll lose more than your left eye this time.” Boruto said. “And here I thought i’d heard the worst of your bluffs. What can I do but laugh?” Code said.

“Boruto…” Sarada said quiet enough for only him to hear. “Sarada, there are still lots of folks who haven’t gotten away. Could you help them? Me and y/n will handle Code.” Boruto told her. “Are you sure?” She asked. “We’ll talk later, just stay alive.” He said. Sarada then left leaving You, Boruto and Code alone. You stepped back once you saw boruto touch his sword. Seconds later, all of the claw grimes that were just surrounding us were slaughtered by him alone. “I guess it wasn’t a complete bluff.” Code said.

“If you insist on pressing on, you’ll lose every one of them.” Boruto said. “And you’re being prematurely cocky. These don’t add up to a drop in the bucket. Besides, they’re just tools anyway.” Code replied. “You don’t understand the true horror of ten tails” you said as you jumped back next to Boruto. “I’ll say this one more time Code, i’ll let you live. In return, guide me to where the main body of the ten tails is. I’ll be honest, killing you is easy. So instead of dying in vain, why not do one good act for the world?” Boruto said.

“It’s irrelevant, since you’ll be the one dying.” Code replied. “I guess there’s no cure for idiocy.” Boruto said as he started to walk towards Code creating a Rasengan Uzuhiko. “Rasengan Uzuhiko.” He said. “Rasengan Uzuhiko?” Code asked confused. Code rapidly created claw marks on the floor surrounding you and Boruto. He then went in one and landed right behind him attempting to slash him from behind. Boruto knew what Code was up to but he took advantage of him getting close to him, he quickly turned around and spread his arm out to his face. Code quickly catched it. With Boruto’s free hand, he reached out for his sword but Code also stopped it. “You seem real confident about this jutsu. So it’s a shame you can’t hit me with it.” Code said.

“I told you, killing you is easy. In fact, i’m already halfway there.” Boruto replied. Suddenly visible wind started to coil up around Code’s body. “This is your last warning Code. Take me to where ten tails is. If you refuse, you can die here.” Boruto said. “Very funny. You, kill me? Go ahead and try!” Code shouted as he ran towards Boruto slowly, he didn’t realize he was still being affected with his Rasengan. After many attempts of Code trying to harm Boruto and Boruto easily dodging his attacks, he took action and saw an opening in Code’s body and quickly clenched his stomach. “Rasengan Uzuhiko.”

Code was sent flying to the ground. He quickly stood up to not let his guard down. “I’m surprised. I didn’t except you to still be standing up.” Boruto said. Seconds later Code fell to the ground. “Dammit!! What did you do to me?!” He yelled. “Enjoy. Think of it as a biting counter attack from this planet that you were trying to destroy. The damaging will continue semi-permanently. Semi because your life will run out before the planet stops spinning.” Boruto said.

“You cheekly bastard!” Code said attempting to stand up only to fall back down on his butt again. “Ugh” he groaned crawling backwards until he couldn’t because there’s a tree behind him. “However, there is the option of me stopping this Uzuhiko. Would you rather quietly await death or give me ten tails and live? I think it’s a choice even a fool can make.” Said Boruto.

“Boruto watch out!” You said when you saw Kawaki flying right towards him. Boruto quickly dodged, landing right next to you. “Kawaki!” He said. Everyone else started to arrive including Himiwari. “Boruto!” She said.

“What’re you doing here in Konoha, Boruto?! And what are you discussing with Code?” Shikadai yelled. “We’re trying to make a deal here. Do you mind not interfering?” Boruto said.

Code tried to escape by creating claw marks on the ground only to be stopped by Kawaki destroying them. “Kawaki. Stay away from him and don’t provoke him.” Boruto told him. “Who are you to order me around? If you showed yourself here, you must be prepared to die Boruto!” Kawaki replied. While both Kawaki and Boruto were busy talking, they didn’t realize Code was planning to escape once again. He had summoned a claw grime but kawaki quickly reacted, piercing right through the monster’s chest. That wasn’t enough though, because Code was still able to escape. His chakra was now completely gone. “Shikadai, you all go on agead.” Kawaki said. Then turned to face Boruto. “I’ve got business with this one.”

“It’s been three years. What’s with your outfit? You and Uchiha adoptee now?” Kawaki asked.

“Your smack talk sure hasn’t changed. But im glad to see Himiwari looking well.” Boruto replied. “Why are you guys here? If you’ve come to die at home, i’ll help you, right here, right now.” Kawaki said. “Dying in Konoha doesn’t sound bad, but not today. Butt out of this, kawaki. You’re in my way.” Boruto said. “You’re the only one in anyone’s way, Boruto. Hm? Don’t you think?” Kawaki said. Boruto was going to reply back to him until Koji started talking to him (the little frog). “Infiltration accomplished, Boruto. Code’s returned to base.” You heard him say. “Any signs of ten tails?” He asked. “Not yet, hold on… Confirmed. Ten tails is there.” The frog replied. “Good.” Boruto said disappearing immediately, leaving me and Kawaki alone. You felt awkward because you didn’t know what to say or do. There’s no chance that you can escape because then Kawaki is just going to assume something bad, so instead you decided to pay your aunt a visit. “Wait y/n please.” Kawaki said to you. You turned around to look at him to let him know that you are listening. “I’m sorry. None of this was my intention to make Boruto’s life difficult. It just kind of… happened and I don’t want you to hate me for it.” He said. “Well it’s too late now. I do hate you Kawaki.” You said to him turning back around.

You were almost close to the house. You were nervous meeting her and your cousins again after so long. You suddenly heard quaking. It was just nugget arriving. “You came!! Took you long enough.” You said laughing. “You’re going to have to get used to walking on your feet now Nugget, you’re gaining too much weight that’s why you get tired easily. Even just by watching me walk.” You said placing him down.

You finally arrived. You hesitated on knocking on the door. You took a deep breath and let it out. You knocked on it. You then started to hear the locks unlocking “Mom! She’s back!!” One of your cousin said as they opened the door. “No way! Let me see for myself.” Your aunt said opening the door wider to get out. She quickly gave you a tight hug. “Come on in! We were just about to eat lunch.” She told you as she shut the door behind you. Little did you know, someone was spying on you.

“So how have you been honey? You stopped writing for us a while ago” Your aunt asked you a little sad. “Oh sorry, it’s just things got rough for me and Boruto. Our sensei sacrificed himself in order for him and I to escape and stay alive. We were outnumbered by these monsters called claw grimes. Today people were getting attacked by them. Only two were turned into trees just like Sasuke.” You told them.

“I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that. How can you handle all of this?” Your aunt asked you. “I had Boruto’s company that’s why.” You told her. She then stood up and asked if you wanted anything to eat. “No i’m not that hungry right now. I just want to sleep to be honest. Can I?” You asked her. “Yes! did you forget you also live here silly?” She said laughing. She carried your things to your room. “Thank you. You didn’t have to carry my things all the way here.” You said. “It’s fine, don’t worry. Well, if there’s anything you need, please tell me okay?” She said. “Yeah, thank you.” You replied. She then walked out and closed the door. “Ugh I need a shower before I lay down on the bed.” You told yourself. You went in your bag and pulled out the clothes you were going to wear. You walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind you. You wondered what Boruto could be doing right now. “Why did he have to leave me alone with Kawaki, he could of at least told me where he was going.” You said in your mind. You used to be so close to Kawaki, even liked him too at some point. You wondered if he ever liked you the way you liked him, he was always soft with you but rough on others. He treated you as if you were a delicate flower. People even said they felt uncomfortable with the way he treated you. But there was also Boruto, He was always there for you, and you were always there for him. He was even comfortable enough to talk about personal things.

You knew deep down Kawaki didn’t mean to swap roles with Boruto. He was just expressing his feelings to Eida, and she wasn’t at fault either because she apologized to Boruto afterwards and tried to look forward to undo whatever she did. But oh well, it is what it is. Maybe this happened for a reason. “Damn this shampoo smells so good.” You said.

After you were done showering you brushed your hair and put everything back in its place and went back into your room. The moment you entered, you saw Boruto sitting on your bed. “Hey” he said. “Oh, hey. What are you doing here?” You asked while you put your things on the floor. “Just wanted to tell you some things I learned.” He said. “Yeah, go ahead.” You told him as you sat on the bed next to him. “Okay i’m going to keep it short because it’s just too much. Basically if you get bit or attacked by a claw grime, you turn into a tree. After that happens, a divine tree looking human gets created and uses your chakra to stay alive. And while I was there I saw one that looks just like Master Sasuke. I had to leave as fast as I could because they started to gang up on me. I almost didn’t get away.” He said.

“So they rely on your chakra to stay alive? Do you think in order to kill the divine tree humans we need to remove the human from the actual tree?” You asked. “I think so, but we’re not going to do that.” he replied. “Where are you going now?” You asked when he stood up. “I’m going to see Sarada remember? I’ll be back though don’t worry. Also nugget is outside if you didn’t know.” He said. “Yeah I left him outside. He was going to poop everywhere if I brought him in. And, be careful. I’ll be waiting for you.” You said. He nodded and walked out of your room. You laid back on your bed like a starfish and sighed. You then layed on your side and closed your eyes.

You woke up to noises in your room. You didn’t know where it was coming from because you were still half asleep. You then realized the noises were coming from your window. You stood up to go check and saw that it was kawaki trying to get in. “What the hell are you doing?” You said pushing him out. “Nah, what are you doing here y/n.” He said awkwardly. “What the hell does it look like? I’m at home” you said to him as you locked the window. “I hope Boruto comes here soon” you thought as you got back on the bed and rubbed your eyes. “Y/n! Kawaki is here, he’s coming right your way!” Your aunt says loud enough for you to hear. You let out a scream and covered your mouth. You then stood up quickly trying to shut the door because you saw him twisting the knob.

“get out Kawaki I don’t want to see you.” You yelled. He didn’t listen, instead he opened the door slowly trying not to fling you across the room. “Wheres Boruto?” He asked shutting the door behind him and locking it. “Jeez, not even a hello or something?” You said. “Hello” he replied. “I don’t even care anymore don’t worry. Boruto isn’t here if that’s what you’re here for. So you can find your way out now.” You said pointing at the door. “Don’t worry, I know exactly where he is.” He said. “Then why ask?” He stayed silent. “Let’s go out to eat.” He said looking away. “Are you kidding me? I don’t want to.” You said. “It’s either go out with me or I go after Boruto.” He said. You narrowed your eyes. “Fine, let me get ready, wait for me outside.” You told him. He took a deep breath and walked out. “Why is he so scary now. I could barely recognize him” you thought to yourself as you changed your clothes and quickly did your hair and makeup.

It took you about 15 minutes to finish. Right before you walked out you went to go find your aunt. She was in the backyard with your duck. “Oh hi! Did Kawaki leave?” She asked. “No. Actually, we’re going out to eat. I’ll be back in a few. So don’t worry.” You said smiling. “No wonder you’re dressed so gorgeous. Your duck is so cute!! How does he not fly away? Im surprised.” She asked. “To be honest, I don’t even know so myself.” You laughed. “Okay Im going to go now, bye!” You told her as you went back inside to go out the front door.

When you walked out he was right there leaning on the wall staring at the sky. “Let’s go now mr mysterious.” You said laughing a little, his stance was so cringey. “Where are we going?” You asked. “Hmm…Where would you like to go?” He asked. “I guess lightning burger, man I miss that place.” You said. “Okay then, lightning burger it is.” He replied.

You guys arrived and he payed for everything you ordered. He went to go find a spot to sit while you guys were waiting for the food to be ready. “So.. how have you been y/n?” He asked awkwardly. “I’ve been ehh, it’s not easy being away from home.” You replied. “Why did you leave? There was no reason for you to go with Boruto.” He said. “I don’t know, I guess I just didn’t want him to be alone.” You replied. He only hummed. Our order was ready. You saw that our food was in a bag instead of a tray. “Let’s go somewhere more quiet. Are you okay with it?” He asked. “Yeah, it doesn’t matter.” You replied. He took you to the closest park from your house. “Would you like to eat in the swings with me?” He asked. “Yeah sure.. whats with you acting so formal?” You said. “I just don’t want to dissatisfy you.” He replied in a nervous tone. “Don’t worry” you said as you sat next to him on the swing. He handed you your burger and fries then put your soda on the floor next to his. You unwrapped the burger and took a huge bite. “So gooddd,” you said, “did you know i’ve been having dreams about eating this??” You told him smiling. He smiled back shaking his head. “Are you and Boruto dating?” He asked. You almost started to choke from the food in your mouth. “No, why?” You said nervously. “Nothing, forget I asked.” He said.

“C’mon, now you need to tell me why or else I won’t be able to sleep.” You said. “Sarada and him were acting so close.” He said. “How close?” You asked. “I mean, all I saw was him hugging her a little too hard. Like as if it were the last time they were going to see each other. Her face was all up in his neck too, it was kind of unsettling.” He said. “Oh, I guess they just missed each other.” You laughed. You felt jealous, Just a little though.

“I guess.” He said as he took a bite out of his burger. “If you saw him, why didn’t you just go after him?” You asked. “I wanted to come see you before I did anything. You know, just in case you guys leave because of a fight or something.” He said staring at the floor a little embarrassed.

“Well don’t worry, I don’t think we’re going anywhere yet. I’m not sure though. I’ll see what Boruto says.” You said.

“What Boruto says? Do you need permission to stay or leave or something?” He asked. “No, not really. It’s just, wherever he goes I go, you know.” You said and he just nodded and stayed silent.

“The food was good, thank you Kawaki.” You told him as you threw your trash away. Yeah no problem, if you ever want something from any kind of store store just let me know and i’ll buy it for you, okay? Don’t waste your money when i’m around.” He said. All you could say was thank you. Now that you guys were done eating he decided to take you home.

You heard him scoff and you looked at him confused. You then realized Boruto and Sarada were right behind us. “Let’s go now y/n.” Boruto said. “She can’t, she’s busy.” Kawaki replied. “Stay out of this Kawaki.” Boruto replied.

“You stay out of this, she’s going home with me. If you have a problem with that, then you shouldn’t have had left her alone in the first place.” Kawaki said grabbing your arm and walking to the direction of your house. Leaving Boruto and Sadara behind.

“Thank you Kawaki for walking me home.” You told him as you walked up the porch. “Yeah, see you tomorrow?” He asked. “Maybe” you replied. He smiled and nodded. “Bye now.” You said walking in and closing the door. You sighed knowing Boruto is going to want to talk to you about why you were hanging out with Kawaki. “Hopefully he doesn’t get here yet.” You thought to yourself. You walked in your room and checked around to see if Boruto had arrived. Nope. You placed your things on the bed and grabbed your pjs and underwear to shower.

After you were done showering you started to take out your things to get ready for the night. You rinsed your toothbrush and placed some toothpaste on the bristles then started to brush your teeth. “I hope Boruto doesn’t get upset. None of this would have happened if I declined Kawaki’s invite to go out. But still, if I said no he would have gone to Boruto and create an even bigger scene. Well, it is what it is I guess.” You thought.

After you were done brushing your teeth you brushed your hair because you don’t like sleeping with tangled hair. As you were brushing your hair someone knocked on the door. “It’s occupied!” You said awkwardly. “let me in.” Boruto said. You opened the door and moved to the side so he could walk in. “Jeez couldn’t you have waited outside? What if I was pooping or something?” You said. “If you were, you wouldn’t open the door for me dummy.” He replied. “Hold on, let’s talk in my room i’m finished.” You said as you got your things and walked out of the bathroom and into your room. Boruto followed behind you and closed the door. You heard the lock click but didn’t think much of it. You put your things back in your backpack and set it on the floor. You then walked over to the tv to grab the controller to turn it on. There was nothing good to watch so you just left it on a cooking show and walked to the bed and got under the sheets. You turned around and saw Boruto making a tiny bed on the floor. “Boruto, you know you can sleep on the bed with me right?” You said. “I’m okay here. You can ask Kawaki to sleep next to you, i’m sure he would say yes.” He told you. That reminded you, “hey, what were you going to talk to me about anyways?” You asked. “About him. Why were you guys hanging out together?” He asked. “Because I can.” You told him. “I thought you hated him though.” He said harshly. “I do.” You replied. “But-“ “Boruto, stop it. I can hang out with whoever I want, okay? I hate him for acting selfish and expressing his feelings about wanting to be Naruto’s real son to Eida but he didn’t mean for it to actually happen. It just did. He’s still my friend.” You told him sitting up. “Well it doesn’t look like it.” He said mumbling as he got under the covers with you too. “Why do you care so much? You were with Sadara the whole time and i’m not complaining. To top it off, Kawaki told me you guys were hugging a little too hard. You’re with her but still worry about what I do. Like, what?” You said. “She was the one hugging me like that. I just hugged her back to not seem rude. He told you that to make you jealous.” He said.

“Jealous? As if.” You scoffed. “Then why mention it. Hm?” He said carrying a smirk on his face. “Shut up, i’m going to sleep.” You told him turning your full body around.

You heard him scoff. He got off of the bed to turn off the light. He then grabbed the controller and turned off the Tv. It was pitch black in your room. You felt him get back on the bed and adjust himself to a comfortable position.

You felt eyes pericing holes through your back.

“Stop staring at me Boruto.” You said. Seconds later he turned around. “Y/n” he said. “Yes?” You replied. “I want you to stop hanging out with Kawaki.” He told you. “You say it like as if we’re going to hang out everyday, we’re not even going to stay here for long… Are we?” You said. “Yeah. When I went after Code to find ten tails, I overheard the divine tree humans talking about how they are coming after Sarada, Konohamaru and Eida,” he said still not finished, “we can’t leave knowing what they’re planning. You know?” Boruto said. “Okay that’s fine but you still can’t tell me what to do.” You told him. “Fine do whatever you want.” He said scoffing again.

“Stop scoffing so much!” You said elbowing him right in the ribs. “Ow, you dumb pig!” He said elbowing you back. “Go to sleep or I’ll kick you off my bed.” You told him. “Shut up! I am already!” He replied.

You woke up and felt Boruto big spooning you. You read the clock on the counter next to your bed and it read 9:48 am. It was still a little early so you tried to go back to sleep. Boruto felt you adjusting to a more comfier position in his arms and that made him smile knowing you were awake and okay with the state you guys were in because you would normally push him off. He brought his arms down to hug your waist and got closer to you until there wasn’t any space between you guys. You didn’t know if he was acting bold or if he was still sleeping.

The position was kind of uncomfortable so you turned around fully to hug him. Then put one of your legs between his and brushed your fingers through his hair. His face was still buried in your neck, so you felt him smile against your skin. Boruto felt so happy, it almost reminded him of when his mom would run her fingers through his hair when he couldn’t sleep. “Y/n! Wake up, breakfast is almost ready!” Your aunt told you on the other side of the door. “Okay!” You said in a sleepy voice. You heard Boruto smack his lips. “We can’t have anything nice.” You heard him say. “Says who?!” You yelled tackling him back on the bed. You ended up sitting right on top of him. He looked at you first, then brought his eyes down to where you were sitting. he brought his hands to your waist, then down to your thighs. “It’s not going to end well if you don’t get off.” He said blushing as he leaned his head back on the bed. He liked the way you sat on him. You felt him getting hard on you and it rested against your clit so you grinded on him. He started to moan so you covered his mouth and pecked on his neck. “C’mon, let’s get ready.” You said patting on his chest as you got off of him. He smacked his lips angrily again. “That’s what you get for letting another girl hug you.” You thought to yourself smiling.

“Hey, can I use the shower?” He asked you. “Yeah go ahead. Make it snappy though because i’m going to shower too.” You said rubbing your eyes. “Now i’m going to take longer for sure.” He said walking out with his clothes in his hand. “Since when did you start getting so annoying? I’m going to stop cleaning your clothes watch.” you said loud enough for him to hear. You stood up to go grab your backpack. “Man I need to go shopping, i’m tired of wearing the same cloths.” You said as you pulled out all of the things you needed.

Boruto finally finished showering. “Hurry up, we need to go somewhere.” He told you. “To where?” You asked him. “I’ll tell you once you’re done.” He replied. “Okay.” you said walking out of the room and into the bathroom. You quickly showered, brushed your teeth and did your makeup to not take any of Boruto’s time. It might be important.

“Okay i’m finished, where are we going?” You asked him as you put your things down. “To the Hokage’s Office. Shikamaru summoned the both of us.” He told you. “In a bad way or in a good way?” You asked him. “I’m not sure. But we have to go now.” He told you as he walked out of the room.

“Y/n and Boruto, what are you guys doing here? Do you think it’s okay for you guys to just come back like nothing happened? Are you mocking us or something?!” Shikamaru said harshly. “Lord eighth, I think this is the perfect time for us to explain our sudden appearance, thank you for summoning us.” Boruto said to Shikamaru. “Alright, go ahead.” He said. “Yesterday, me and y/n were planning to come here to Konoha to let Sarada know about what had happened to master Sasuke. And then on our way there we felt Code’s chakra so we ran even faster to get there faster. Once we arrived, I beat his ass so bad he had to retreat. And when he did, I tracked him down and found out where he had the ten tails hidden and teleported right to him. Me and Code got caught up in a terrible situation and saw the victims of the claw grimes already turned into divine tree human looking things. They were discussing on who to come after and I heard each one of them say specific names.” Boruto said. “Well, what were the names?” Shikamaru interrupted impatiently. “All I heard was Sarada Uchiha, Konohamaru Sarutobi, and Eida’s name being called. We decided to stay to come help you guys just incase anything were to happen.” Boruto said finishing with everything he had to say. “Alright thank you. But we don’t need your help. So you guys can find your way out now. And I mean the village.” Shikamaru said pointing a finger towards the door. The second Shikamaru pointed at the door, Kawaki and Sarada bursted in. “Get out! This is private business!” Shikamaru yelled. “We’re not leaving. Let them stay and we do need their help.” Kawaki said making an excuse only for you to stay longer. “But how do we know we can trust them?” Shikamaru asked. “Because it’s coming out of my mouth. If anything were to happen, I could easily stop them. Only I am capable of doing that.” Kawaki explained. “Fine. You’re in custody of them now.” Shikamaru said as he sat back on his chair. “What?! You’ve got to be kidding me!!” Boruto yelled tugging on his hair almost falling to his knees. “You’re excused. Report to me immediately if anything happens Kawaki.” Shikamaru finally said. All of you guys walked out and stayed outside of the room awkwardly. “Hey y/n, it’s been so long!” Sarada said giving you a hug. “Yeah, it has!! How have you been?” You asked. “I’ve been great now that you guys came back!” She replied.

“Y/n, can we talk?” Kawaki asked you. “Privately.” He said as he grabbed your arm and took you out of the building. You felt the furious coming out of Boruto’s body. “What did you want to talk about?” You asked him. “Nothing. I just wanted to make up an excuse so that we could hang out.” He said smiling. “Really?” You said laughing. “I want to spend my money on you. If you’re okay with it of course.” He said. “You don’t have to. But we can walk around the mall.” You told him. “That sounds good, let’s go.” He said. “Not without us though.” Boruto interrupted. “Sure whatever.” Kawaki told Boruto. Then turning around to walk to the direction of the mall.

You guys finally arrived. “Okay get into pairs. Im going with y/n. See you guys around.” Kawaki said leaving Sarada and Boruto behind. You turned around to look at Boruto and gave him a sorry look. Kawaki was doing way too much now. “They could hang out with us too you know.” You told kawaki. “The plan was originally for only us to hang out, not them. Since they wanted to come, they can go shopping too, just not with us.” Kawaki replied. You just nodded. You didn’t like the idea of Boruto and Sarada hanging out together. And Boruto didn’t like the idea of you hanging out with Kawaki either.

“Let’s go in there!” You told kawaki when you saw an arcade store. “I was about to say the same thing.” He said grabbing your arm to lead you inside. Kawaki had bought a 30 minute game card for you guys to play. “Let’s get on these motorcycles” kawaki said as he inserted the card. You and him got on both bikes. “Get ready to eat my dust.” You told him laughing. “We’ll see about that.” He replied in a cocky tone.

Once the game started you were doing good until obstacles started to appear making you have to lean left and right, the bike was too heavy to lean on. Eventually the game finished leaving you at fourth place. “I win! What a loser.” Kawaki told you. “That’s because you got lucky” You said getting off. “Hmm, where to next?” He said looking around. “Great, now you’re here too?” He told Boruto. “Woah, calm down buddy. This store ain’t yours is it?” Boruto said smiling as he walked away with Sarada.

“Let’s go over there Kawaki.” You said pointing at the rows of claw machines. “Yeah sure. I didn’t even see those when we walked in.” He said walking towards them. Some of them didn’t even have cool prizes but you still looked around. “Look at that big ass shark!” You said pointing at one of the machines. “You want it? I’ll get it for you, first try too. Watch.” He said smirking as he scanned the card. He was moving the claw around to a perfect angle and dropped it. “No way you actually got it!!” You said as it went down the hole for you to grab it. “What the hell? I’m even surprised too.” He said laughing. “It’s so big and fluffy! Thank you!” You told him as you gave him a tight hug. Boruto watched the whole thing happen but didn’t react because Sarada was right there. “That should be me winning you that prize y/n.” He thought as he walked over to a fishing game. “Yeah, no problem” Kawaki said smiling. He was happy to see your smile again. “I want to win you something too. Pick something you like and i’ll get it for you.” You told him. “Hmm, this one.” He said pointing at a small little duck. “Aww, did you know I have a real one in my aunt’s back yard?” You told him.

“Yeah, I saw him yesterday when I tried climbing up your window.” He told you. He then scanned the machine for it to start working, you grabbed the knob and moved the claw directly above it. As soon as you were about to click the button Kawaki moved it a little to the right, having his hand on top of yours and pressed on it to drop down the claw. Eventually, you did win him the duck. “Thank you for helping me.” You told him as you stared at him. He stared at you back then smiled. “Thank you too, for winning me this. I wanted it because it reminded me of you.” He said as he squished it. “Let’s go play whack a mole.” You said as you walked over to the game. Boruto saw where you two were heading and quickly ran to the game and scanned it, he turned around and pulled out his tongue in secret to prevent Sarada from seeing him. He grabbed the hammer once he saw the moles starting to pop out. “Watch this.” Kawaki said smiling hard then pulled up next to Boruto and started whacking the moles with his hand to make him mad. “Dude stop it. You’re being annoying.” Boruto said. He then grew tired of kawaki being annoying so he tried to whack him with the hammer. Kawaki caught the hammer pulling it from his hand and hit him with it. Kawaki grabbed your arm and ran out of the store once he saw Boruto running after you guys. He stopped chasing once you two were completely outside to store. “Did you see the way his face looked when he was sprinting?!” You said tugging on your stomach because you felt abs forming from laughing. Kawaki could only nod because he was unable to talk from laughing as well. Everyone was looking at you guys as if you were crazy but you didn’t care. “I need to use the bathroom now, I almost peed myself.” You said as you stood up. “Yeah me too.” He replied.

You guys started to walk through the mall to find the nearest bathrooms. “Right there.” You said pointing at the bathroom sign. You were done using the bathroom and saw that Kawaki was waiting for you right outside. “Do you want to go get something to eat?” He asked you. “Yeah sure! Like what?” You replied. “Let’s walk around, I can’t decide.” He said. You ended up buying a whole rotisserie chicken because of how Juicy it looked on the menu. And Kawaki bought a beef burrito. “You’re going to eat all that?” He asked you worried. “Not really, do you want to share?” You asked him. “Yeah, why not. Take a bite out of my burrito, I want to share with you too.” He said. You leaned in and took a bite out of it. “It’s so good what the hell.” You said. He then cut it and gave you half of his burrito. You ripped the chicken apart and placed it on a plate. You gave him the best pieces and then handed it to him. “If you want more chicken just ask me.” You told him smiling. “The chicken is really good and well marinated. I think I might have to come back here only for the food.” He told you.

“I’m so fulllll.” You said as you threw away the trash. “Yeah so am I, I feel like Im about to pop.” He replied. “Hey I want to go in there.” You told him as you pointed at a clothing store. “Then go in, you don’t have to say anything because i’ll be right behind you.” He told you. As you walked in you saw how beautiful all the clothes were. Kawaki ended up buying you five cute tops and three pants. “Would you like anything else?” He asked you. “No, i’m happy with all of this already, thank you.” You said leaning your head on his shoulder “maybe too quick to be leaning on his shoulder?” You thought to yourself as you removed your head from him. “Hey, let’s go in that candy shop.” He told you. You nodded and followed behind.

“I’ve never seen a candy shop this advanced.” You told him as you looked around. He handed you a bag to put the candies in. “Let’s go to the back corner first.” He said. Kawaki was putting all sorts of candies in his bag and so were you. He placed a chocolate in your mouth quickly to prevent any worker from seeing. You turned to look at him and saw that he was also chewing on one. You slapped his shoulder smiling. “Ouu! These one have juice in them, look.” You said surprised. “Whatt, let me get those.” He told you as he scooped the candies and put them inside his bag. “Hey, I can’t fit any more.” You told him. “Yeah neither can I, let’s go pay now.” He said.

The cashier closed the bags and placed a sticker to keep it closed. “Your total is thirty dollars.” She said. Kawaki handed her the money and gave you your bag. He put his wallet away and grabbed his candy bag and walked out. “I can’t wait to eat these.” You said. “Same, but i’m eating them now.” He told you as he ripped the sticker off. “Try this one.” He said as he pulled out an earth looking candy. You opened your mouth and he fed you it. “Those are really good, I should have gotten those” you said. “Y/n, there you are. I’m leaving with Sarada. Would you like to come with us?” Boruto asked you. “Uh, where are you guys headed to?” You asked him. “To my house! My mom wants to talk to Boruto, but you guys can come along too.” Sadara answered. Honestly, you just wanted to go home. “No it’s okay, you guys can go.” You told them. “Alright then, i’ll see you later y/n.” Boruto said looking at you in a mad expression and left. “What’s his deal?” Kawaki asked. “I don’t know.” You said lying. You knew exactly why Boruto was mad, and it wasn’t about the whack a mole incident, it was because of what he told you last night, to stop hanging out with Kawaki.

You and Kawaki decided to stay longer. “Hey, I heard they have a movie theater in this mall. Want to go check?” He asked you. “Yeah sure why not.” You told him. You both Walked around the mall trying to find the movie theaters. Turns out, it was on the other side of the mall this whole time. Once you guys arrived, you looked at the movies they had available. “How about a horror movie?” He asked you. “Yess” you said excitedly.

Kawaki bought two tickets for the scariest movie they had. “It’s kind of empty in here.” You said. “For me, I prefer for it to be emptier.” He said looking at you. You guys went inside the movie room and sat on your seats, which were the ones all the way in the back. The screen was just playing ads before it began, so it was kind of awkward. “Thank you Kawaki, it was really fun. I never really thought I would find myself being your friend again.” You told him. “Yeah, I had fun too. And sorry again for making you hate me. I really am. Not a day goes by without me regretting what I did to you.” He said grabbing your hand and squeezing it. You looked at his hand holding yours then looked at him. “This is wrong. I can’t do this to Boruto.” You thought to yourself. “Oh it started!” You said adjusting to your seat a little nervous and thankful that it got you out of the situation.

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

“Man that movie wasn’t even scary.” Kawaki said unimpressed. “Yes it was you lunatic! I don’t think i’ll be able to sleep tonight.” You told him. “Scaredy cat.” He whispered in your ear. You tried smacking him but he dodged. You looked around to find a clock to see what time it is. “Damn, it’s almost 7pm!” You said surprised. “Yeah, the movie was like three hours long.” He told you. “I think it’s time for us to leave. I’m getting a headache from staying here too long.” You said. “Yeah that’s okay.” He said. You guys exited the mall and walked back home. “No way it’s this dark already.” You said surprised. “Yep, winter is almost here that’s why.” Kawaki replied.

You guys finally arrived at your house. He handed you all bags that were yours. The sky was completely dark and you could barely see the steps while walking up the porch. He followed behind. You stopped in front of the door and turned around. “Thank you again Kawaki. It was fun.” You told him. “Yeah no problem, I had fun too. This might be selfish of me to do but…” he said as he leaned towards you. He pecked your lips. It left you speechless, but you kind of liked it. You put your things on the floor in front of the door and went up to face him again. You both slowly leaned in, he put a hand on your waist and with the other, he grabbed on your jaw to get a better grip. You took his hand off of your face and wrapped both your arms around his neck and kissed him. The kiss was soft and passionate. He reached under your shirt to feel closer to you and gripped on your waist. That caused you to make a sound. It hurt so good. You opened your mouth to let him in. The kiss was now hard and rough. He was rougher than Boruto. With Kawaki, you couldn’t be in control. Everything was always his way. Kawaki was taking you against the wall, not taking his mouth away from yours. You pushed him off to catch your breath. It looked like he needed to catch his breath too but he didn’t care. As you were breathing, he went down on your neck and started kissing on it aggressively. then licked his way back up to your mouth. He picked you up and you wrapped your legs around his waist. He had one hand on your ass and the other under your shirt feeling every part of your back again. You cupped his face to kiss him easier. You could taste all the candy flavors he was eating on his way here. Realization hit you like a bus. “Kawaki, put me down.” You told him. He listened and placed you back on your feet but went back to your lips. The kiss became so heated it made you fall back into a hypnotic state again. “Kawaki wait.” You said pushing him off once more. “What’s wrong y/n?” He asked. “Nothing, it’s just I have to go back inside.” You told him. You then started to hear heavy footsteps coming your way. “Shit.” you said.

“Get away from her you idiot!!” Boruto yelled pulling kawaki away from you. “Y/n get inside. Now.” He told you. You picked up your things and went inside. “You think I wouldn’t find out?” Boruto said gripping on Kawakis shirt. “That you could kiss her without ME knowing?!” He said. “Don’t fucking touch me!” Kawaki yelled yanking Boruto’s arm off of his shirt. “You guys aren’t even dating. why make a big deal about it?!” He said. “Oh we’re not dating alright. But she’s mine! So back off. Why don’t you go hang out with Eida or something instead huh?!” Boruto asked. “Go ahead and stop me. I don’t want Eida, I want her.” Kawaki said pointing at the house. “You bastard!” Boruto said as he punched Kawaki right in the face. Kawaki tried doing the same but failed. You walked back outside. “Stop it! Both of you!! You’re going to wake up everyone inside!” You told them. You then softly pushed Boruto inside the house. “Fucker.” Was all Boruto said to Kawaki before you closed the door on him. “Are you serious right now Kawaki?” You said. “I didn’t start it, he did! So don’t start blaming shit on me.” He said. “I know you didn’t start it. You just made it worse. I have to go now, bye” You told him as you walked in and closed the door behind you.

You went inside the room not speaking to Boruto at all. You grabbed clean clothes out of your backpack to go shower. You then took out your toothbrush, toothpaste and hairbrush walking out of the room then to the bathroom. You didn’t even want to think about what had just happened. Your mind was blank and angry.

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟

After you were done with everything you walked out of the bathroom and into your room, sat on the bed and rubbed lotion all over your body. Boruto then walked out with his things to shower as well. You wanted to cry because of all the emotions you have bottled up inside you. You missed Sasuke and missed how things were before he was turned into a tree. You felt so confused and frustrated. You don’t know what to do.

You began to sob uncontrollably, tears started to run down your face like a flowing stream of water. “Of course he has to walk in on me crying.” You said to yourself hiding your face from Boruto. You couldn’t breathe because of your boogers clogging up your nose. “Y/n? What’s wrong!?” Boruto said dropping his things and running straight to you. You didn’t say anything. You just hugged him, crying even more. He hugged you back. His embrace was all you needed. “I’m sorry Boruto.” You told him. “For what silly?” He said. “For everything” you told him. “I’m sorry too.” He told you as he stood up and walked out of your room. He came back with a tissue box. “Here you go.” He said handing you the box. You grabbed a tissue and cleaned the tears off of your face and blew your nose. You were done crying and stood up to throw away the tissues. “Why did you have to punch Kawaki? You know Shikamaru can kick us out for that right?” You told him as you turned off the lights and locked the door. “I got out of control, I couldn’t stand it. Especially after I saw how he was all up on you like that. Like come on, not even a week here in Konoha and you’re already letting him get on you like that. Not even to me! When i’ve been with you longer!” He said as he sat down on the edge of the bed. “I’ll stay away from him now. Just for you.” You told him as you walked up to him. You lifted up his chin and pecked him on the lips. “Scoot back.” You told him as you got on him. “I’m yours.” You said in his ear. You felt him nod. “And you’re mine.” He said. You grabbed his head and lowered it down to your chest. He kissed it passionately and softly and worked his way up to your lips. You put a finger over his lips to stop him. You took off his shirt then yours too and ran your fingers down on his back to give him tingles and succeeded when you felt his goosebumps.

You got close to his face but didn’t kiss him. He did the same and now you guys were teasing each other. your lips brushed against each other but still never touched. Once again, he was growing hard on you, it made you groan in pleasure because it rested against your clit. “Fuckk...” he moaned quietly. “Shhh” you said as you connected your lips to his. It was a soft yet needy kiss. It was full of emotion, love and anger. The moon’s light reflecting inside your room made the setting even better, it made your room look almost dark blue.

You got off of him to take your shorts off. He admired your body, your cute matching underwear and bra as well. He then stood up and did the same, throwing his pjs across the room. He walked up to you and kissed you once more. You broke the kiss to sit him down on the edge of the bed and got on your knees, never breaking eye contact.

He ran his fingers through your hair. “We have to be quick.” You told him as you looked back at the door smiling. He nodded again staying quiet. You could tell Boruto was nervous so you brought his hand up to where he could feel your heartbeat. “Don’t worry, I’m nervous too.” You told him as he felt your rapid heart. “If you want me to stop, just let me know okay?” You said. “No it’s fine. It’s just, it’s my first time you know.” He told you. “Me too.” Was all you said. You pulled on his boxers and gave him a ‘can I?’ Look. He nodded smiling. You then started to pull on them until his dick was fully out. “Dayum!” You said. “What’s wrong?” He asked. “Nothing, it just jump scared me.” You said as you started to laugh leaning your head on his thigh. You looked at it, it was pretty big. You’d say about six or seven inches. You got up from his thigh and adjusted yourself because your knees were already hurting.

you grabbed it and leaned in to kiss his tip. You looked up at him only to see him looking back at you. He gave you a sweet and innocent look with his shiny eyes. He looked so adorable. You then put your whole mouth on it bopping your head up and down. The only thing he could do was watch and make noises. He brought a hand to your hair and gripped on a handful and was now the one controlling your head’s movements. You were now gagging on it. The only thing you worried about was throwing up on it. You grabbed his hand and took it off of your hair.

You stood up and got on him. He leaned in to your lips and give you a very rough and wet kiss. You moved your panties to the side and he placed his dick right outside your entrance before starting. “Are you sure you want this?” He asked you. You nodded pushing the risk of you getting pregnant aside. You then started to lower down, feeling him entering you. He closed his eyes burrowing his eyebrows and started to breathe heavy. You took him fully and started to thrust into him. He gripped on your waist and found his way to your mouth. The kiss was sloppy and messy, full of vibrations due to both of you guys humming through the kiss.

Your knees started to grow tired. “It’s your turn.” You said as you got off of him to lay down on the bed. He turned around and reached down to kiss your stomach. Every kiss counting as him giving you his love. He then worked his way up and eventually was the one on top. He leaned in and gave you a passionate kiss. It wasn’t full of lust and hunger. It was different, it felt like the ‘i’d be happy to make us a family’, like the type of kiss you’d see in disney movies. (Not to be corny.)

He had his dick in his hand so that he could put it in you and you moved your panties to the side.

You both made eye contact as he was going in. He burrowed his eyebrows once again and started to whimper, trying his best to stay quiet. Once it was fully in, you relaxed knowing all you had to do was just lay there. He got into a comfortable position and started to thrust inside you. You instinctively wrapped your legs around him. You closed your eyes in pleasure but he grabbed on your jaw softly. “Please look at me.” He said as he pecked your lips.

You could tell he was about to reach his climax when you noticed his hips moving slower. you removed your legs around him just incase you accidentally lock him in to release inside you. He eventually backed up a bit and started to thrust his dick right above your stomach. You then started to feel warm liquid drop on it. Since you didn’t really finish, you started to touch yourself watching him touch himself. He looked down and saw what you were doing and smiled. It only took seconds for you both to finish. The room was full of heavy panting. He dropped himself right next to you. “I have to clean your stomach up.” He said laughing as he stood back up to grab some tissues from the tissue box he had given you when you were crying earlier. After he was done cleaning the mess he made, he asked if you wanted water or anything. “Nope, just you.” You said opening your arms for him to come cuddle with you. You heard him faintly laugh as he dived in your arms. “I love you y/n.” He told you. “I love you more.” You replied as you closed your eyes to sleep.

It was now morning, and Boruto was shifting around the bed uncomfortable. “Y/n they’re here. Wake up!!” Boruto shouted as he woke up.

Naruto Episode Comments, Ep. 1-20

(Context: I know a lot of the character’s names and some of the big plot points, but I’m going in blind otherwise)

Ep 1:

-Naruto is kinda annoying but also he’s just a lil gremlin and I can respect that

-I kinda love Iruka. Also he’s hot.

-”Clone jutsu? That’s my worst jutsu!” says Naruto, known for his Shadow Clone jutsu

-there’s just something so charming about the old anime style (but also some of the expressions are so goofy)

-HOLY SHIT IRUKA IS A REAL ONE

-I don’t trust the Hokage. I don’t really have a concrete reason for this yet, but his vibes are off

-oooh Irukaaaaa you’re so sexy for not being an asshole to the traumatized child

-oh I guess Shadow Clone jutsu is different from regular clones so disregard my earlier comment

-honestly this was a better first episode than I was expecting. I’m sold!

Ep 2:

-Naruto continues to be a lil gremlin

-Naruto pls for the love of god stop using your stupid ass “sexy jutsu”

-the Hokage really has had enough of these little kids and honestly I can’t even blame him

-I love the voice of Konohamaru’s trainer (I’m watching dub btw), it’s so pompous

-I love the ninja sandals. I want a pair.

-I like that Naruto’s voice actually sounds childish. It’s a tad bit grating sometimes but I think I’ll get used to it quickly

-STOP IT WITH THE SEXY JUTSU

-STOPPPPPP

-anyways #KonohamaruForHokage

Ep 3:

-again, the ninja sandals are so fucking drippy

-Ino wtf is up with your outfit. Why is half of it bandages

-the amount of sheer passive-aggressiveness in these 12 year old girls-

-Naruto has a crush on Sakura at first???? I didn’t know that lol

-Sasuke does not give a singular shit about anything other than his brooding and tbh I didn’t expect anything less

-Sakura’s little inner monologue is so feral lmao

-I don’t like Sasuke’s voice so far. It’s monotone, but not in an edgy way, just in a kinda dull way? Also he doesn’t really sound like a kid

-no hate to Shikamaru but his ponytail looks painful. My scalp hurts just looking at it

-oh my god not Sakura ragging on Naruto for being an orphan-

-lmao the amount of fucking drama with this team of kids is crazy

-why are the Hokage and Kakashi just casually breaking into Naruto’s home to look around

-rip Naruto’s bowels

Ep 4:

-I was not expecting Kakashi to sound like that but I’m kinda here for it actually

-oh I can already tell I’m gonna hate how the female characters are written in this show. Sakura honey I’m so sorry

-I know Sasuke’s got trauma or whatever but god he’s so fucking edgy. “I hate most things and I don’t like anything” bitch just say your favorite food or something

-oh my god Naruto is so tiny compared to Kakashi

-ok I already see why people love Kakashi so much

Ep 5:

-Kakashi is raining hell down on these children and I’m so here for it

-Kakashi is so COOL

-fucking “HEADHUNTER JUTSU” is the most metal name for a jutsu

-“you think like little kids” says Kakashi to the 12 year olds

-Kakashi really didn’t need to give his “you failed” monologue while pinning Sasuke to the ground. Bro was just doing it to assert dominance lmao

-I know that Sasuke’s reasoning for sharing is logical and not because he cares about Naruto, but I like that he offers his food to Naruto first

-aw the squad is starting to squad just a teeny tiny bit

Ep 6:

-booooo Naruto is a cat hater :(

-I love that Naruto is shorter than Sakura

-I like that we get some worldbuilding early on (also I’m a sucker for a good map so the scene explaining the different regions was cool)

-okay Sasuke is a badass

-Kakashi is also a badass but I already knew that

-I love how chill Kakashi is about literally everything

Ep 7:

-Kakashi is so over the bridge builder guy’s bullshit

-I do wish there was more of a sense of scale regarding how far apart the different locations are, since I have no idea how far away from Konoha the Land of Waves actually is

-okay I was NOT expecting Zabuza to fucking THROW HIS GIANT CLOUD STRIFE SWORD LIKE A BOOMERANG???

-Zabuza 🤝 Kakashi

not wearing their headbands correctly

-I like Zabuza’s voice

-the sharingan doesn’t make that much sense to me in terms of how it works but I’ll just chalk it up to anime logic

EP 8:

-oh the Water Prison jutsu is kinda terrifying to think about

-I can’t get over Zabuza’s fuckin armwarmer thingies

-ah yes gotta love the choppy old anime fight animation

-between Kakashi and Zabuza, Sasuke really cannot get a break from being pinned to the ground

-the demon wind shuriken is so sick-looking

-okay good on Naruto and Sasuke for working together but couldn’t they have given Sakura something to do

Ep 9:

-binging this makes the flashbacks at the beginning of episodes very annoying

-oh Kakashi is fucking PISSED

-shoutout to whoever animated all the hand signs for the jutsus holy shit

-yeah Kakashi would be so annoying to fight ngl

-Sakura is constantly calling Naruto out on his bullshit and that’s the kind of hater behavior I’m here for

-the soundtrack is hitting different this episode

-wow Naruto really saw another kid kill a man and got immediate imposter syndrome lmao

Ep 10:

-I like Haku’s painted nails

-aw Kakashi is actually a really encouraging teacher

-how is Naruto so bad with chakra control and yet was able to master Shadow Clone jutsu????

-Kakashi casually defying gravity to walk up a tree with his crutches was actually kinda hilarious to me for some reason

-I’m still not sold on Sasuke’s voice. There are moments when it’s fine but otherwise it’s just so stiff

-YAY FOR SAKURA GETTING A WIN OVER THE BOYS

-aw Naruto encouraging Sakura was cute (even though he was salty about her beating him)

-I like the difference that’s set up between having a lot of chakra (like Naruto) versus good chakra control (like Sakura)- hopefully this means people are going to go about how they train and fight differently

-Naruto asking Sakura for advice and asking her not to tell Sasuke anything was actually kinda endearing lol

Ep 11:

-dumb question maybe but if Gato is so against the bridge being built and he has the resources to hire a bunch of goons, why doesn’t he just bomb the bridge or something

-ah yes Sakura discovers poverty

-Sasuke is slowly growing on me. He’s very awkward

-Sakura I’m so sorry you have to deal with those two idiots as teammates

-holy fuck Inari’s backstory with Kaiza was darker than I thought it would be

-also rip Kaiza you were a real one

Ep 12:

-lmao not Naruto thinking Haku is prettier than Sakura fjfhshhajasisa-

-aw Sasuke helping Naruto walk home after training was nice, there’s definitely very slight development happening in their relationship as rivals

-Kakashi’s talk with Inari was a really nice moment

Ep 13:

-I like the way Haku talks. It’s very impassive and mysterious

-I’m always a fan of when the MC inspires literally everyone around them and Naruto is no exception

-Haku’s painted nails continue to slay (also I realized his toenails are painted too)

-the needles Haku fights with are really cool-looking but also seem really impractical

-YEAHHHHH NARUTO TIME

-aw Kakashi is proud of his kids

-goddamn Haku is so cool

Ep 14:

-I’m only thinking about this now but did Naruto never wonder why he had a big seal on his stomach

-literally half this episode was recap which was kinda annoying

-Naruto I love you but you’re so stupid

Ep 15:

-I really wish they gave Sakura more to do in this fight. I get that Kakashi’s the only one who can take Zabuza and that we need to see Naruto and Sasuke fighting together, but Sakura is kinda just standing there the whole time

-Haku needs to go to therapy ASAP

-I’m still confused about how Kakashi’s sharingan works tbh

Ep 16:

-aw yeah baby Sasuke sharingan time

-aw yeahhhh Sasuke saving Naruto

-god fucking dammit I think Sasuke is my favorite Team 7 member and I hate that for me

-oh boy Naruto is about to go apeshit

-also there is no way in hell anyone watching this actually believed Sasuke died

Ep 17:

-geez the animation quality really went up this episode

-yeah Haku’s backstory is just as tragic as I thought it would be but also Jesus Christ his relationship with Zabuza is so fucked up

-I’m very curious as to why Kakashi has the sharingan if it’s a bloodline trait of the Uchiha clan (and also why he only has it in one eye)

-Kakashi summoning fucking dogs was so random but also hell yeah doggies

-andddd Kakashi’s a lightningbender? I thought the sharingan was his main thing but apparently not

-Haku PLEASE go to therapy

Ep 18:

-this show’s soundtrack has actually been so good so far

-so like was Naruto actually gonna kill Haku before Haku stopped him

-oh FUCK rip Haku (also first real-time death of the series!)

-Kakashi closing Haku’s eyes and saving his body was nice, you can tell that he feels bad about him dying even though he was on Zabuza’s side

-also they didn’t hold back on the blood, goddamn

-I like that the bridge builder seems to have a bit of a soft spot for Sakura since she’s been with him the most

Ep 19:

-Gato is literally so fucking disgusting I need him dead ASAP

-Kakashi wrangling Naruto back from attacking Gato was kinda funny

-ah yes the big Shonen Protagonist Speech™ from Naruto

-Zabuza’s last hurrah was fucking epic, I really like how his and Haku’s story ended (also the line “where he’s going, I cannot follow” about Zabuza joining Haku in the afterlife was metal). I like that Zabuza got a last moment of humanization

-aw Naruto is such a wholesome, determined lil guy

-oh Naruto is gonna be so insufferable when he finds out the bridge is named after him

Ep 20:

-HELL YEAH CHUNIN EXAM TIMEEEE IM SO EXCITED

-wow Naruto is really out here fantasizing about being Sasuke’s knight in shining armor

-Sasuke is a cocky little shit but also he’s technically right about Naruto and Sakura being “worse” than him

-so far Sakura’s biggest fight has been her beating up fuckin Konohamaru

-SAND SIBLINGS SPOTTED!!!

-I don’t like Temari’s voice

i just saw a posts about novels that went like

sarada told sasuke he has lipstick stain, sasuke tries to wipes it off and she says he doesn't have one and sakura doesn't wear lipstick.

how do they defend this novels with their lives? it confirms sasuke never kisses sakura and doesn't know if she wears lipstick or not and kisses someone else who wears lipstick. it also confirms naruto likes to wear lipstick XD.

Please. These novels are ridiculous. Kishimoto already confirmed they’ve never kissed in Gaiden. Twice.

(* something nicer = meant the forehead poke)

Though I wouldn't believe anyone if they said they actually like these novels, because the story (or lack thereof) is complete shit, but it’s fine if they do. A good story isn't the intention unfortunately. I genuinely wish that people understood what exactly it is they are defending. I’m writing a post for someone who asked something regarding canon, but I need to take brakes from it because it pisses me off that this happens constantly to franchises— not just Naruto.

And in this case it’s even worse, or perhaps it’s just a prime example, because Jun Esaka (writer for some of these novels) made such a fool of herself on twt by making it all too obvious what her intentions were by writing them. (If it wasn’t already obvious.) First, when people pointed out the many flaws, she admitted that it’s “just her story” and “just her interpretation” (she had only read 'Naruto' for the first time a few months before that), but when other ss-shippers started to defend her and said she was a better writer than Kishimoto (as there’s 0 love between SS when he writes), she basked in that glory and went along with it. Even to the point that she completely disrespected Kishimoto, the story, the craft, openly made fun of other characters (mostly Hinata) and ships like NH and demanded her other novels to be animated as well. It’s unprofessional af. And then when fans asked her for a nsfw novel for SS she agreed and told them to harass the company about it. (She didn’t say ‘harass’ exactly, but come on you can’t be that dense given their reputation with staff.)

What are they defending?

How can you defend anything when the motive is so obviously just personal bias/gain and/or financial profit to a company where both in this case don’t give a shit about the original story. It's not about shipping though, it happens all the damn time to all my favorite franchises and I'm genuinely sick of it. And it's not even about a writer writing about what they want either because I already expected that, but Esaka did her absolute best to try and disprove the bond between Naruto and Sasuke and change narratives completely even for individual cases for the sake of telling her "story". SNS-moments weren’t romantic to her and she quite literally made fun of it by copying them in her story to point out its "irrelevance", but give them to her het-ship and now all of a sudden it is romantic???? She basically calls Kishimoto a liar because ‘Sasuke Retsuden’ in particular is a direct response to ‘Gaiden’ (made by Kishimoto). She blatantly tried to disprove anything he said and indicated about her ship. She wrote about characters that, yes, have the same name as those in ‘Naruto’, but are so out of character it hurts. It took me months to recover my lost braincells.

I don't think my post about it is still up, but to name a few things in that novel if you're interested: Sasuke resents Naruto and his test-tube daughter because he’d rather travel with Sakura, his wife whom he loves so much. But he has to do stuff just because Hokage Naruto said so and his daughter wants to stay in Konoha so he has no choice but to comply. Being apart from his wife-(did we mention he loves her so much? because he does. so much.)- makes him feel so very lonely and he misses her body so much because he knows it so well. He fails to do anything other than being jealous about the women-deprived prisoners going after the new hot doctor, Sakura, who is his wife btw. that he loves a lot in case you missed it. and he rather stares at trees that remind him of her than helping his friend Naruto who’s apparently dying from his own chakra or whatever kind of bs. Sasuke lets himself be bullied by prison-guards that aren’t even Shinobi, for having long hair and looking like a girl, though Esaka makes sure to mention how so very handsome he is and he looks like a cat. Sasuke loses a battle against an overgrown lizard and tries the same damn jutsu 4 times(!!!!) before realizing it may actually not work, I think because he forgot how to fight, but he can however create anything from ice like Elsa (Frozen), or from dirt like some Gaara-hybrid to make Sakura a ring because he loves her so much ofc… oh and he’s now a healer too. Sasuke sacrifices people’s lives even when it’s not necessary at all bc ig Esaka thinks he's a killer, and also he wouldn’t mind being brought back with Edo Tensei if it means he can stay with Sakura, because fuck everything they’ve been through in the original story, yeah? They also immediately forgive the bad guy cuz he's so relatable even though he just murdered I dunno how many people. SS kiss while an injured Naruto is squished in between them because SS-shippers have some sort of “Naruto has to watch our ship being in love to really make it legit because that’ll learn him for getting in between!”-kink (that's real actually) and according to Esaka, Sasuke is so worried about his daughter and in fact did meet up with them during those 10+ years because he loves them oh-so-much and fuck you Kishimoto that’s why.

Be so fr right now. It’s such a joke. And these are just the few things on the top of my head that I remembered ;-; ...

Again, what are they defending exactly? It would be nice to just have a genuine fan of the story write an actual story. No other motive other than "I really like the story and would love to explore some options while respecting Kishimoto's work because it'd be fun!" Except, that's unfortunately not very marketable and ffs it's just sad. (I know there's a Kakashi version and I personally really want to know more about his role as Hokage and what he's done etc, but alas.)

Baby Sarada's Adventure - Part 4

Prev: Part 3 Next:

“Any luck with the baby?” Hiruzen looks at Kakashi expectedly, they had talked about it previously on how unsafe it was for Mayumi to stay with Sasuke. If there was a chance that she was an Uchiha then most likely she could be Sasuke’s niece. It was the only explanation they had given how old she looks as there were no Uchiha other than the two. And even then, that was a big if as neither can imagine Itachi Uchiha taking such risks.

Certainly not with him being a missing nin and having to stay low.

“We can’t dismiss it entirely, he’s still a boy.” Homura added.

They had to take every consideration, who knows maybe he never knew he got a random woman pregnant. If word did get out about their potentially being another Uchiha what would happen to her? To Konoha? Would Itachi come back to see for himself? They had to take Mayumi off Sasuke’s hands and keep her low.

“And if she is?” Kakashi asked.

“We’ll give her to an ordinary family. Keep an eye on her, we can’t risk anyone finding out about her being an Uchiha.” Danzo suggested, Kakashi couldn’t help but scoff at that. They had no idea what they were doing and put no thoughts or consideration to how Mayumi would feel. They couldn’t hide the secret of her being an Uchiha from herself, still the main priority now was convincing Sasuke to give her up.

Kakashi figured he could count on his students, the two would be able to change his mind.

…

Okay, maybe Naruto wouldn’t be the best candidate. If anything, he would probably try his best on finding a way for them to keep Mayumi if she and Sasuke were related. Sakura on the other hand would understand.

Could she find it in her heart to disagree with him though? That would be another thing.

Either way, they were the two Kakashi was counting on.

“Now how exactly are going to pry the little one off him?”

“I have an idea.”

“Ah… about that…” The Hokage doesn’t give an impressed look whilst Kakashi rubbed the back of his head chuckling nervously. Sasuke fully believed she was Uchiha, whether he accepted that she could be Itachi’s daughter or not was another thing, but the boy was determined to protect the little one and unfortunately for Kakashi it also seemed she was as equally as attached to Sasuke.

And Sakura. Kakashi recalls, something didn’t add up. He could understand why she would cling to Sasuke, but Sakura was another matter. Perhaps it was because so far, she was the only girl and therefore the closest ‘mother figure’ she had. Maybe even that was why she was so attached to Sasuke.

“Time is of the essence; I’m doing my best to keep the council off your case because I trust you. Does the boy realise there’s a chance she may not even be an Uchiha?”

“I understand, give it time. Sasuke is a smart boy, he’ll come around. I can tell ‘parenting’ is tiring him out and no he fully believes she’s an Uchiha.”

~~~

“Is there a way we can get her back? She can’t stay in our past!” What if she hurts herself, Sasuke wouldn’t even think of the worst-case scenario but then if something did happen wouldn’t they remember it? Maybe she isn’t even with them.

“You’re the boy with the rinnegan aren’t you?” The strange woman approached him, he kept his guard up yet allowed her to stand in front of him. Including tugging his face down (for someone who seemed so fragile she certainly didn’t feel like one) staring right into the rinnegan. As if inspecting it of sorts? Both Sakura and Naruto looked at each other bewildered not exactly sure if they could trust her or not.

“Hmm yes I think I can come up with something.”

“You can?” Sakura asked, voice hopeful.

“Yes, the rinnegan allows you to create portals to other dimensions, yes? I can cast a spell that will allow you to travel back in time however it’s on you on where you want to go. There’s a good chance that wherever you’ll pick she would have moved on elsewhere. For example, let’s say you chose the day in which you were born, she could be in your teenage years. Understand?” Sasuke nodded taking in the information whilst Sakura cursed muttering ‘freaking spells, Gods, aliens.’

Well, they had experienced so many strange things and now their daughter was involved too.

“Isn’t going back to the past dangerous though?” Wouldn’t it mess up their timeline. What if he did something and it changed everything here?

“Don’t be stupid my boy, imagine the chaos that would exists if that was such a thing. As soon as she transports herself to another of your memories then the previous you or whoever she’s with will forget all about her. The same would go for you when you travel back, as soon as you get to your next destination then all memorise will be erased until you find yourself back here.”

Now the three of them were even more confused.

“Wait so you’re saying our daughter will come back to us anyway?” She couldn’t have said that sooner? And who the hell would come up with designing a rattle of all things to bring you back to the past?

For what purpose did it serve?

“Well yes, what do you take me for? An idiot? But it’s only if she still holds it. If she loses it, then she’ll be stuck there.” So, they did have a reason to worry. Sarada wouldn’t understand and who knows what danger she’s in. Although that did give him an advantage, if she won’t go time travelling in a flash it should be easy to get to her.

“Yeah, you ARE an idiot! What kind of person designs a rattle for such power? I mean what grown up is going to want that?” Naruto screamed snapping at the older woman completely annoyed, whilst still holding onto a sleeping Boruto. What was she thinking? What was it with older people and their weird ways?

“You were the one who brought it were you not?”

“Why you-”

“ENOUGH!! We aren’t going to get anywhere by screaming. I just want my baby back; you said you could help so do something now.” Although she did agree with Naruto that this woman was rather… batty.

“Sakura’s right, you mentioned about my rinnegan. I need to get to my daughter!”

“Ah, follow me.” The woman walked into another room; Sakura was about to follow before Sasuke halted her grabbing her wrist. She knew that look.

“I’m coming with you.”

“No, it’s best for you to stay home in case Sarada returns.”

“What? No! I can’t do that. She’s my daughter too Sasuke.”

“I’m the one with the rinnegan so odds are I’ll be the only one she can do this with. Besides, if there is a chance she’ll return one of us needs to be there.”

“Sasuke’s right, I know it’s difficult but think of Sarada. She’ll be scared if she’s the only one alone in the house.” Boruto who had now awakened after all the commotion reached with his small hand to place on Sakura’s. As if he was also trying to comfort her. She smiled softly appreciating the gesture but how was a mother not to worry about their child.

“Fine.” She didn’t like it, yet what choice did she have. Sasuke took her by surprise by grabbing hold of her hand and kissing her knuckles softly.

“I promise I’ll find our daughter; I won’t let anything happen to her.”

She didn’t doubt him one bit.

~~~

The shopping had been a successful trip but unnecessary in Sasuke’s opinion since now they had too much clothing for Mayumi. And yet she was smiling away in Sakura’s arms having a fun time whilst he and Naruto were the ones carrying the luggage. How did they get themselves into this situation again? Yet he didn’t have it in him to refuse their proposal on going to the park.

“This looks like a great spot, you two can put the bags down here.” Sakura pointed to a tree with shade, they were right next to the playground equipment, but Mayumi would be too young for them anyway.

“Ee gab!” Sarada agreed nodding. Oh, how generous of them Sasuke could only roll his eyes.

“Finally!” Naruto collapsed onto the grass. “Man going shopping is worse than taking missions.”

“Quit being dramatic. It’s called being a gentleman, you can’t let a lady carry her own bags.”

“What about equal rights?” Naruto grumbled as Sakura stuck out her tongue. She then turned to Mayumi. “Isn’t that right Mayumi, they’re strong boys. They can handle a little heavy lifting.” The girl giggled agreeing with everything her mother was saying.

On the outside, Sakura was laughing having fun but inside dreading on how to bring up the topic of letting Mayumi go. The longer she stayed with Sasuke -with them- the harder it would be for him to give her up. Even if she wasn’t an Uchiha, it wouldn’t break the bond they formed.

Although would that be a simple solution?

To suggest a DNA test to prove Mayumi and him weren’t related. Sure, it would still be difficult to say goodbye but perhaps it would make him see sense in that he couldn’t keep her and who knows. Perhaps her parents were alive and looking for her. She could have been kidnapped and left forgotten or maybe something did happen to them.

Either way, she would be safer with the adults, right?

The three of them were now sitting down the cool grass as Sarada sat in the middle playing with the grass and mud. Sasuke kept trying to take it away from her before she could put it in her mouth. It seemed she enjoyed exploring by seeing what could ‘eat.’ Including Sakura’s hair.

“It’s nice to hang out like this without the stress of any missions.” Sakura commented, it wasn’t like either she or Naruto were opposed to the idea of meeting up outside of missions. Kakashi even encouraging them too, but Sasuke wasn’t really one to socialise.

“Yeah, and to think you didn’t want any part of this eh Sasuke?”

“Weren’t you the one complaining about carrying the bags?” He remarked keeping his eyes on Mayumi trying to pry the grass out of her hands. She had a strong grip for sure.

“Hey-” Sakura sighed, they couldn’t enjoy the peace and not bicker for one day? Good grief.

“So, are you actually going to keep her?” And by ‘her’ the two knew he was referring to Mayumi. Leave it to Naruto to bring up such a sensitive question. But knowing him, he probably didn’t realise that it was one to begin with. Should she stop him before things get out of hand?

“She’s my responsibility, where else is she going to go?” Said baby crawled over to Sakura wanting to be on her lap as she lost interest in eating the grass.

“Hey, I know that, but you told us that your goal was to kill a certain someone right? How can you do that and look after Mayumi-Chan?” It was a valid question, and one Sasuke still didn’t have an answer for. He knew at most that he would have to give up on looking for Itachi if he wanted to take care of the baby. But what if Itachi appears and he wasn’t strong enough to keep her safe?

He couldn’t lose another person, especially as she was a baby who had no fault or idea on what happened. But if he gave her up, there was still a chance that whoever she would end up with not being strong enough to look after her either. If word did get out of her being an Uchiha, he would show up to find her.

No matter what, there was no answer in Sasuke’s mind, but he would protect Mayumi at all costs.

Surprisingly Naruto shrugged not waiting for him to reply.

“Eh? I’m sure we’ll think of something!”

There was that ‘we’ again.

“We?”

“Yeah, we! We’re a team now, Kakashi said so himself. So, we’ll come up with something together on how to look after Mayumi.”

Sakura inwardly facepalmed. She should have seen this coming and whilst she would love nothing more than to keep Mayumi, with them being ninjas and taking on missions. The idea of keeping a baby seemed laughable. Who would look after her whilst they were all gone?

Her own parents?

“Right Sakura-Chan?” Naruto turned to her, expecting her to agree.

“Eh? Well…” What could she say? She knew Kakashi wanted her to talk Sasuke over but if even Naruto was on his side, then it was two against one wasn’t it. Three if Mayumi counted herself with her big eyes looking up at her adoringly.

“It’s… it’s going to be hard work. I even hear taking care of a baby can be more challenging than missions.” Because looking after one is permanent whereas with missions, at least afterwards you can rest up.

“I’ll manage, I don’t need your help.”

“But Sakura-Chan’s right, it is hard work. Which is why you WILL need our help, and we’ll work better as a team.” That wasn’t exactly what Sakura was going for, she sweat dropped. Sakura admired Naruto’s attitude and wanting to keep them as a family, but they were only twelve. It would be too much for them to be parents.

“Even so-”

“Watch out!!” Someone called as a football swung spinning towards them almost aiming for Sakura and Sarada. Sasuke stood up blocking it with ease as Sarada watched. Her eyes sparkled amazed at how effortlessly her Papa was able to save them from the ball.

“You should be more careful next time.” Sasuke told the two boys as they ran up to get their ball back. They both bowed apologetically towards Sakura and Sarada.

“We’re sorry.”

In response there was a gurgle from Sarada’s tummy, and she looked up to her mother expectingly wanting food.

“I guess she’s the only one who hasn’t eaten yet.” Sakura smiled waving her hand to dismiss and let them go. Talk about timing, perhaps speaking to him privately about it would be a better idea.

“Ah, I have her food here.” Sasuke stated ruffling through the bag. He came prepared with bringing extra clothes, food and even a small plushie to keep her distracted if necessary. Sakura continued to hold Mayumi whilst Sasuke found a spoon and scooped up the glob intending to feed it to Mayumi.

She merely looked at it and him blankly, confused as to why she wasn’t eating it he tried bringing the food closer and she snubbed him. Turning her head away refusing to eat.

Oh no, she wasn’t going to make him do that now was she?

In front of them?

Yet Mayumi continued to stare and smile as if waiting for something which confused his two teammates.

“You enjoy torturing me, don’t you?” An ‘angelic’ smile appeared on her face as she clasped her tiny hands together waiting patiently.

“Fine, he- here comes the train…” Sasuke awkwardly said with a light blush. At hearing the Uchiha attempting to ‘coo’ Naruto couldn’t help but burst into a fit of laughter. Which annoyed Sasuke but he tried to ignore him and concentrated on Mayumi.

He’ll kill him later.

“She has you wrapped around her finger, doesn’t she?” Sakura giggled as the girl happily began to eat munching away. Oh, she knew very well of the power she had on him.

She was Papa’s Princess.

After eating Sarada made some motion wanting to be put down on the grass again. The little girl crawled over to her Papa who was right in front of she and her Mama and slightly tugged his hand so she could place it onto Mama’s that was resting on the grass hoping they would get the message. The two found themselves staring at one another confused at what was happening until Sakura felt her face turn red with how close they were.

“What are you two doing?” Naruto looked at them suspiciously.

“Nothing!!” They both said in union pulling their hands away startling Sarada.

She pouted folding her arms.

Her parents were stubborn.

~~~

“It’s getting late now. I should go back home.” With all the fun they’ve been having neither realised how quickly the time went. Sakura attempted to pass Mayumi back over to Sasuke, as if he also doesn’t have bags of clothing to carry but he’ll let Naruto do the work.

It was just as much his fault anyway.

However, Sarada had refused to let go of Sakura instead quickly took hold of her sleeve whilst she was back in Sasuke’s arms on the verge of tears. She didn’t understand why Mama was leaving again and not going home with her and Papa like she would normally do. Was she still upset with Papa? Haven’t they made up yet?

What if Papa cries later in the night again because he misses Mama?

Noticing the distress Sakura bent down to her ruffling her hair whilst gently prying her off.

“It’s okay sweetie, I’ll see you tomorrow, okay? We all need to go home now.” Again, Sarada quickly took hold of Sakura’s dress, refusing to let go. She gave her the biggest puppy dog eyes she could muster and wanted to cry. Couldn’t Mama see that they needed her?

“Wow, she’s really attached to Sakura-Chan.” Sasuke had no idea what was up with this girl, they’ve known each other for about a day and yet she wouldn’t leave Sakura’s side.

“What exactly do you want? For her to stay and have a sleepover?” And sure, enough in a blink of an eye Sasuke found his teammates at his house for a ‘sleepover.’ With all three futons spread across the floor. Mayumi would share with the two of them. He didn’t mean it but no matter how many times they tried they couldn’t pry Mayumi off Sakura.

It was almost comical.

“A baby’s strength shouldn’t be this strong!” He thought as he tried to pull her away. Even when they were successful, she somehow managed to snag onto something else. Either her hair, another piece of clothing and at one point somehow, she was no longer in his arms and clinging to Sakura’s leg.

Could she teleport or something?

He finally relented and went with the idea of a sleepover, this also meant Naruto had to join to which he greatly appreciated. It would feel weird and awkward if Sakura was the only one here, given all the stunts Mayumi has pulled. If he didn’t know any better, it was almost like she was trying to push them together.

Perhaps in a way it did make sense the more he thought about it.

With the way they were acting, you could say they did act like parents to her and parents wouldn’t separate so to her it was probably confusing on why they had to go to their own homes now. But Sakura couldn’t move in with them.

Maybe overtime she’ll lose interest.

Maybe…

He looked over the two, she was again in Sakura’s lap watching her speak to Naruto.

“Hey, hey!! Let’s tell each other ghost stories, that’s what normally happens right?”

“In front of Mayumi?” Was that wise?

“Oh, come on Sakura-Chan, she’s not going to understand.” He pointed out as she was looking up at him curiously sucking on her hand. “See?”

“I’d still rather not risk frightening her, what if the story is too scary for you and you scare her?” Sakura teased Naruto knowing what he was like. He made a dramatic pose pretending to be hurt and offended but clasped his hands in a begging motion.

“Come on, pleeease. Just one?” Sakura looked over at Sasuke hoping he would make him see sense, but he merely shrugged not seeing the big deal.

“Only one, I’d much rather get some sleep.” Going on a mission and taking care of a baby at the same time was exhausting.

“Gee, your fun.” Naruto muttered but grateful Sasuke was on his side for a change.

“So, who’s got one?”

For someone was eager to stay up late listening to ghost stories Naruto quickly fell asleep after Mayumi with his arms and legs sprawled out on the floor. The two couldn’t help but smile lightly, in a way Naruto wasn’t much different from a child himself.

Speaking of which, the little girl was in the middle between Sasuke and Sakura. He didn’t trust Naruto enough knowing he would hit her in the face. At least this way she was still with Sakura and safely tucked in-between them.

“Sasuke-Kun, can I speak with you?” She knew he would want to sleep but with the two of them being the only ones awake now was the perfect time.

“This is about what you were going to say before isn’t it?” Nothing could get past him.

“Well…”

“You don’t think I should keep Mayumi?” He wasn’t surprised she felt this way, Sakura was smart and thought things through strategically. And in most cases, he would too but this was something bigger, more complicated and with too many emotions in the way.

Sakura knew that deep down Sasuke knew the truth about Mayumi.

That there was a good chance they weren’t related, but…

“It’s just… we don’t know if she’s really an Uchiha-”

“Of course she is!” He was still in denial.

“You may believe so but think about it, if she is an Uchiha that could only mean she’s related to a certain someone. Do you really believe your brother would get another woman pregnant after… what with…” She couldn’t bring herself to bring up the Uchiha massacre. It wasn’t something you could blurt out to make a point but even so why would Itachi get another woman pregnant (even if it was by accident) given he was the one who killed everyone.

None of it made any sense with the image they have of the man and given Mayumi’s age; it was impossible for her to be a baby that ‘survived’ the massacre as Sasuke himself was so young at the time.

Wouldn’t she at least be a little older?

“I knew I shouldn’t have confided in you.” That stung.

“That’s not fair.”

“What’s not fair is you expecting me to give up the only family I have remaining. And given how attached she is to you as well I’m surprised; you’re so easily agreeing to this.”

He had her there, and it wasn’t like this was easy for her either. She looked down at the young one who was still snoozing peacefully.

“It’s not like it doesn’t hurt me any less, of course I feel a bond with Mayumi. I mean she’s adorable, but I also know I’m not ready to take such a full responsibility. And I know you know better too Sasuke. We have no idea who she is, what if she was kidnapped and there’s someone out there looking for her.” Despite how low their voices were, Sarada still stirred feeling the tension and hearing her parents arguing. They hadn’t even noticed she was awake looking up at them worryingly.

“You don’t need to get involved. I told you she’s my responsibility, not yours or Naruto’s!”

He never asked for their help to begin with.

“I know but-” She stopped when Sasuke got up abruptly halting her from speaking. “If that’s how you truly feel, then you should leave.” He wasn’t sure what hurt the most, hearing the harsh truth or that Sakura wasn’t taking his side. And to think Mayumi made a fuss of her and yet Sakura was so willing to let her go.

She felt a pang in her chest but knew better than to argue further. Sakura wanted to help, to make Sasuke realise that keeping the baby was wrong and selfish. Sure, she understood why, but there was no concrete proof of her being an Uchiha. He wasn’t being fair to himself or to Mayumi.

“I’m sorry.” She didn’t know what else to say.

Watching and feeling the warmth from her parents vanish, Sarada rolled on her side quickly trying to reach Mama before she left.

“Am am aaah,” no matter how hard Sarada tried to say Mama nothing but baby sounds came out. She wanted to cry and call for her, hoping that saying her name would bring her back, but the door closed and Sarada had no way to stop her.

She hadn’t meant for things to turn the way they did but sometimes she would act before thinking. A habit she hated, with all the running Sakura hadn’t noticed a man in front of her and bumped into him before she could stop herself.

“Oh, excuse me.” The man froze at hearing a familiar voice. He let out a cough but didn’t bother to look at her. “It’s fine, be more careful.” And he quickly vanished before she could get a good look at him.

Odd.

~~~

That was a close call. Sasuke thought to himself, he had only gotten here and despite what the woman had said he didn’t want to risk walking around as ‘himself.’ The best thing to do would be to disguise himself and then he could go and ask the whereabouts of Sarada.

about vote1: smth I've wanted to talk about for a while now is how insecure naruto is in regards to how sasuke views him. we know that naruto was vying for sasuke's acknowledgement from the very start. naruto also saw how sasuke was willing to die for him at the low, but when naruto asked him why, sasuke didn't really give naruto an answer beyond 'idk' and 'I used to hate you'. so naruto assumes, as the story progresses, that they are... friends. but he doesn't know for sure how sasuke feels. as much as sasuke asks 'why', naruto does as well given his past. they are both characters that want verbal reassurance.

at the start of vote1 naruto asks sasuke 'why' after thinking about all the time they spent together. naruto looks so vulnerable. and sasuke looks affected too, surprised.

but then naruto follows up with a 'what's wrong with you?' instead of actually asking the real reason behind his 'why', as in: 'I thought we were friends so why?' and sasuke's demeanour changes too. the panel also focuses on the side of his face affected by orochimaru's mark. it was the 'wrong' thing to ask.

sasuke then says he's done with konoha done with naruto but instead of talking about their bond specifically, naruto goes on about how shikamaru, how chouji, how kiba, how neji, how lee, risked their lives to save him. but naruto doesn't include himself in that list of people. testing the waters maybe...

naruto then thinks about how others in konoha are willing to go after sasuke even though they don't particularly like him, but we all know that this isn't the case for naruto. he loves sasuke and is going after him because he cares about him and his safety. and naruto asks sasuke this:

do I mean nothing to you?

naruto's afraid to talk about his real feelings (maybe he's scared of the answer). and as the course of the fight progresses both of them begin to open up. naruto ends up questioning his relevance in sasuke's life. but when naruto does ask 'the real why', when he's finally being honest, sasuke is also honest in turn.

but naruto can't reconcile his own insecurities and the events that are unfolding between his very eyes. he keeps asking questions but this time sasuke won't say anything further and naruto decides to test it out himself.

and then..........

so what's the truth?

but when sasuke's fist is through naruto's chest all naruto thinks about is that maybe everything was just wishful thinking on his part. naruto still questions his standing in sasuke's life, and naruto thinks about how it must've been only him who thought they were friends... but that would make him so stupid :( but at the end, even if it was just wishful thinking on his part, he just doesn't want orochimaru to get his hands on sasuke. because naruto is worried about sasuke.

but at the end things become clearer.

and then naruto wakes up. and ends up deciding to be a fool all his life for sasuke.

#sasunaru #narusasu #my stuff #vote1 #and naruto truly stuck to his word #lovesick fool

I know that these take a long time to make Hc and also a drawing (sometimes we all just don't want to draw a character 😭) and yet I want an Hc for each child of Ringo and Wolfgang. 😭😭 ...but couls you at least do Wolfgang's first child before leaving Konoha?Asahi right ?

At least you acknowledge that it’s a lot of work 😆 Asahi is a good pick to get to know~

His birth was a big deal as his mother is the baby of her family having her first baby, a child Wolfang swore he’d never have, and he’s also the first grandchild of Ebba, Sara, and Kane.

So that meant there was a lot of excitable Uchiha, Senju, and Inuzuka to welcome Asahi into the world

His name made Sumi frown a bit as she knows Ebba only suggested it because of Asako

The Senju brothers congratulated their cousin on joining them in fatherhood with a healthy boy

The Uchiha brothers threatened him about being a good father to their nephew

He was a super fussy little one, so Sumi had to help Ringo find what soothed him best (which happened to be being walked for hours on end)

Asahi would cry almost non stop on Wolfgang but became instantly content when Kawarama, Hashirama, or Tobirama held him (which was annoying to poor Wolfgang)

But his first world was calling for his father, so it made those first few hellish months seem like nothing

Once he got adjusted to the world, they realized he was a shy little boy

Preferring to stay by his parents sides verses playing with his many cousins

When his own siblings started popping up, he finally made some friends

He was the socially awkward one of the bunch, but he tried to be a good big brother

Growing up, he was often confused for being a girl and it didn’t help that he was smaller than a lot of boys his age

Which lead to him training with his mother and father to have something to go all day

He was really only able to make friends with the other outcast, Ivan. Who happened to be blind (which was more of an inconvenience than a problem if you asked Ivan)

They spent a lot of time talking about what they’d like to do one day and Ivan thought Asahi how to listen more carefully to what’s around him

He was rather impressed with how his friend could identify sounds so well

Wolfgang gave him the all black wolf pup he named Kage

He almost got in serious trouble with the village leader for beating up his sons who were bullying him and Ivan

That was until Ebba brought up that the village leaders psycho brats didn’t just injure her grandson, but also his ninken and thus they should’ve been punished worse than a few bruises and a broken nose by their own laws

Even though no punishment came to Asahi and many villagers sided with him defending himself and his ninken, he chose to withdraw from most of the world

Instead focusing on training Kage and helping train a dog for his friend to be able to navigate the world with

He even was able to convince his father to train Ivan to use his wind release to further improve his performance

He eventually found that his sense of smell was abnormal even amongst Inuzuka and that, along with Ivan’s training, helped him win hunting competitions.

Ivan’s father took notice of the skills Asahi possessed and how much he helped his son without expecting anything

He offered him a job as a bounty hunter. It wasn’t a job most people would wanted their kids in, but he saw potential in Asahi (mainly because he heard of the Uchiha’s sharingan and wanted to see it in action)

Asahi knew his parents would disapprove, so he asked his grandmother what he should do

To which he was given her earrings and told to live his life how he wants to. His parents can’t live it for him and she can’t tell him what to do as he was nearing an age of independence

So he joined us friend and his father on a “hunt” and found that he liked the trill of bounty hunting

Wolfgang eventually caught on to what his oldest was up to and tried to talk some sense into him, but Asahi argued back that this is no different than what he did in the land of fire

The only difference is that his friend’s father only took them on bounties that didn’t require them to kill anyone

He also argued that with how big their family was, this insured they could buy enough grain for the winter

It was also during that heated argument that his parents learned he had awakened his sharingan and hid it from them

It actually awakened after that fight with the village leader’s sons when he was worried about Kage’s injuries

His rebellious personality slowly started to seep out as he shed his once shy persona despite him still having that sweet boyish smile

Not having to hide his bounty hunting anymore allowed him to take on much more dangerous hunts

earning him renown and many admirers

Even more so when he hit his growth spurt and stood slightly above his father’s height

Despite his new found popularity, he still kept to himself, Ivan, and his family

Kuri was always annoyed with how secretive he was and swore she hated his stupid friend (Ivan) for turning him into this moody guy

He knew Rickrack was trying to keep up with him, and he allowed it to an extent. but he also told him he had to be good. Their mom didn’t deserve two headache inducing sons

The triplets were always in his stuff and demanding sweets, which was annoying to him

Elke? She was a good mellow kid whole would give him her dessert if the triplets took his

Arashi was always breaking his things and that was even more annoying

As the grew into young men, they stayed good friends with Asahi attending his best friends wedding to his sister, Kuri 🙃

His big jobs allowed him to take more time off and rebuild the relationship he almost destroyed with his own father pursuing his career

The biggest controversy he had was a few years down the road when paying off a fiery red haired girls debt, thus freeing her but her following him home despite him trying to ditch her multiple times

Somehow everyone assumed he purchased her and as she still had a collar on and was sleeping in the chicken coop

He eventually got out of her that she had no place to go and didn’t even know how to get home

he reluctantly agreed to let her stay at his home as long as she didn’t get in his way

he worked on getting that horrid collar off and made sure to tell her to tell people he was not her master and she could leave whenever she wants

He found out her name was Kichijo (Kiki for short), and she was an Uzumaki

She just didn’t want to (there’s plenty to eat, it’s warm, he doesn’t require her to be in his bed, and he can speak her language. It’s a dream deal) and Kage didn’t want her to leave either

Four legged traitor

Most days were spent in a comfortable silence, but he’d occasionally come home to hear her singing or humming while cooking

It puts a smile on his face for a brief moment

When they do argue, it’s usually about him blowing off his family’s invitations to dinners

Because it’s none of her business what he does with his family

And because she would give anything to have her own family back and he doesn’t seem to realize or care how special that is

they call a truce instead of actually apologizing 9/10

Thus he has a non wife soon to be wife

"Festival Lights"

Pairings:Shikamaru/Temari, Sasuke/Karin

Written for @shikatemamonth24 x @fuckyeahsasukarin

Week 3: Festival

---

The bustling festival in Konoha was in full swing. Summer lights illuminated the village, turning it into a magical place where the glow of lanterns reflected in the eyes of the guests. People from Konoha and other villages strolled along the brightly lit stalls, buying sweets, playing traditional games, and admiring the colorful performances.

Shikamaru stood by one of the stalls, watching the lively crowd with little interest. His gaze, however, often lingered on one specific figure—Temari, who was picking out food nearby. She was wearing a traditional kimono, which was a rare sight for Shikamaru, who was used to seeing her in battle gear.

“You know,” Temari started as she approached him with a plate full of sweet rice balls, “I thought you’d be bored at this festival.”

“I am,” he replied with a lazy smile, his hands tucked into his pockets. “But if I hadn’t come, you’d drag me here anyway.”

“Exactly,” she smirked, “at least you can relax.”

“It’s hard to relax with you around,” he muttered quietly, but she still heard him.

Temari chuckled, saying nothing more as she continued watching the events unfold.

***

Meanwhile, Karin and Sasuke were also at the festival. Unlike the usual chaotic environments they found themselves in during missions, this was much calmer. Karin kept clinging to Sasuke’s arm as they made their way through the crowd, afraid of getting lost in the sea of people.

“You don’t have to hold onto me; I won’t get lost,” Sasuke said calmly, glancing at her.

Karin only snickered quietly but didn’t loosen her grip. She knew Sasuke didn’t like crowds, though he’d never admit it. And deep down, it was comforting to hold his arm—it made her feel close to him, knowing he was safe.

“Oh, look, there’s a charm stall!” Karin exclaimed, tugging him in that direction.

Before Sasuke could protest, she was already pulling him toward the stall, which was filled with all sorts of charms and trinkets. The woman selling them greeted the guests cheerfully.

“Shall we get matching charms?” Karin suggested, picking up two red ones with images of a phoenix and a dragon.

“You know they don’t mean anything,” Sasuke responded dryly, though his eyes briefly flickered to the charms Karin had chosen.

Karin smirked, leaning slightly closer to him.

“It’s not about the meaning. It’s about the symbolism, and they’re beautiful.”

He sighed quietly, knowing there was no point in arguing, and took the charms from her.

***

In the evening, fire lanterns rose into the sky, bathing it in a soft golden light. Shikamaru and Temari stood together on a bridge, watching the beauty of the fireworks, the echoes of their blasts reverberating through the quiet night.

“A beautiful evening,” Temari noted, crossing her arms. Her gaze was focused on the fiery bursts in the sky.

“Quite,” Shikamaru agreed lazily. “Though a bit loud.”

She laughed softly, nudging him in the side.

“You just don’t know how to enjoy the moment.”

“Maybe,” he smiled slightly, noticing her warm gaze out of the corner of his eye.

Sasuke and Karin also stood nearby, admiring the fireworks. Unable to resist, Karin leaned slightly against Sasuke’s shoulder, and surprisingly, he didn’t pull away.

“Maybe they do mean something after all,” Sasuke muttered, glancing at the charms now hanging from his belt.

Karin, caught off guard by his words, couldn’t help but smile.

“So, we didn’t get them for nothing.”

And in that moment, a silent but meaningful feeling settled between the two pairs—they were with the people who mattered. The festival was merely a backdrop to that realization, but it highlighted it with its bright lights and the warmth of the summer night.

Omg thank you for the innsights!!! I also find Naruto hard to write and I personally find him very annoying lmao. Bleak!primadonna au is amazing because it builds on the last big conversation shikako and naruto have before he leaves, in the land of birds, where shikako tells him to find a better solution then years later in a similar situation (avenging a twin!!!) he can’t. We all know that if shikamaru is not okay, shikako is also not okay. And if shikamaru died shikako would burn the world for him. Also this is your ‘verse, but i headcannon that after the war the twins find a bit more balance in their relationship (not amazing but not a cold war either) and without shikamaru, even if she hasnt needed him to orient her in this world for a long time, post canon without him she just loses her need/will the be a ninja. Nothing matter anymore. She has been close to breaking for a long time already in canon and i just think she was closer to breaking as a person than everyone realized. Also i think tsunade would find it naruto is the one who mismanaged his ninja and deprived konoha of it’s seal master and jonin commander in the same move. Like i think she would totally ask him if losing shikako, purely as a resource (sensor, seal mistress, political, reputation, former anbu) is worth the slight to his morals? Like to tsunades reign she was probably one of her most valuable resources and the loss of such a resource is not to be taken lightly. But she 100% thinks shikako was rash and foolish, but thinks naruto should have had the foresight and known shikako better.

Also i headcanon that shikako resigned from anbu under kakashi, so she never swore absolute loyalty to naruto, which i think would be a very interesting dynamic, especially if he tries to use the tattoo function to (like the hyuga main line!!!!!!!!) to remind her of her vows and his orders and will and then she just turns around and reminds him she was never anbu under his command. (Like i don’t know if this is in character for naruto at this stage of his life, but naruto loves to remind people of their responsibilities and doing the right thing so???). Ahhh delicious delicious conflict!! (Hope i didn’t step on your toes or anything, i am like 99.9% sure i will never write anything in any form for this so it’s all up for editing/interpreting/ignoring) i love this verse and your writing thank you so much <3

Hi again, anon! Let's keep this bleak!primadonna AU brain rot party going! :D

Because, oh my god, I agree so much.

Naruto is hard to write! Or, well, he’s hard to write in such a way where his naivety/stubborness is charming/endearing instead of annoying/ridiculous :( I think SQ does thread that needle pretty well in DoS, but I think there’s also a reason why Sasuke has more “screen time” than Naruto even if you take into account the whole “Naruto is traveling with Jiraiya and Sasuke didn’t defect.” Even in the fandom, there’s more fanfic with Sasuke than Naruto because he’s just so difficult to write him well! He is a moral compass in a fandom that loves nuance, RIP.

I also think that the twins find a better balance in their relationship, especially because so much of Shikako’s secret keeping was because she wanted to keep Shikamaru safe from the incoming S-rank threats. Now that the war is over, no more S-rank threats (theoretically) and so significantly less secrets that need to be kept from Shikamaru. (She does still keep secrets, because I think that’s just how she functions, but a lot less than before.) But yes, definitely for her to be so blindsided by his assassination and then being denied her right to avenge him IS so final straw for her that she would just snap. Like I said before, it almost would have been understandable to her if their dad had been the one assassinated or, at least, Shikamaru would have been alive to slow down Shikako’s immediate, brutal revenge, but for her to lose Shikamaru after EVERYTHING they’ve been through? Like if it were the Akatsuki or something, then she’d almost understand it—or, at least, it would be justified for her to take out that level of S-rank threat. But some weird political bullshit trying to get Temari to go back to Sand, and then when Kankurou sends the councilors over as weregild, Naruto DENIES her that justified revenge? WHAT?! HOW DARE HE? It truly would be a betrayal to Shikako that Naruto would hold his own moral opinions above the Nara clan’s political/legal right to mete out whatever punishment they choose for the Sand councilors that killed their heir.

And yeah, Tsuande definitely thinks Naruto made the first mistake. Shikako reacted extremely to it, which was a mistake as well, but the FIRST mistake was definitely on Naruto for that reason.

I love the headcanon that Shikako resigned from ANBU under Kakashi—less because of the “oath to the Hokage” thing, but more because of a matter of timing? Because the reason why she even joined ANBU in the first place is because of her rapid promotions and also the fact that her (and Sasuke’s) reputation(s) were growing much faster than their skill. They needed to be able to gain experience without having a major target on their backs while also leveling up skill-wise enough to match their reputations. So by the time Naruto would have been Hokage, there’s no need for that subterfuge anymore. Shikako’s time better serves Konoha by being open about her movements/missions/abilities. I see it a lot in Kakashi-centric fic, but the idea that after the Uchiha Massacre in particular, they really flaunted Kakashi’s reputation around as a sort of “see we still have a Sharingan and it’s sooooo powerful, woooow” kind of thing to the point that they wouldn’t even let him do ANBU missions anymore because they needed him doing missions under the Sharingan no Kakashi PR as opposed to the (semi-)anonymous ANBU Hound.

Like. If Naruto is to a level of being Hokage, then Shikako (who in all practicality, is the better Hokage candidate) is similarly such an overt S-rank nin that being in ANBU would, if anything, hinder her abilities since she’d have to anonymize her skills.

I also don’t know if Naruto would try to use the tattoo function in that way—although, that would absolutely be such a… hm… not dark arc, per se, but a “you have crossed a line and we can never go back to what we were” sort of thing. Like in a desperation to just get her to listen he tries it and it doesn’t work but that fact that he even tried it. I don’t think it does torture/pain like the Caged Bird Seal, but it probably does a “pay attention to me” type of thing. Like if the Hokage needs to signal their ANBU guards without being too obvious about it kind of thing. So it’s more of a “hey, listen, I’m about to drop a secret mission on you” than a “you must submit to my will or else” but I think it is the chakra equivalent of grabbing someone’s arm when you’re in the middle of an argument which is sort of like escalating from words into potential violence. Especially if the argument started as Shikako to Naruto, former teammates and childhood friends, both feeling betrayed by each other and mourning Shikamaru but then Naruto trying to use the ANBU tattoo to make her listen to his side suddenly brings in his Hokage status and how legally he can do whatever he wants—it is a military dictatorship, after all, “peace” or no—but then it also highlights the whole issue of this bleak!primadonna AU which is that, legal or no, Shikako literally can do whatever she wants due to her power and ingenuity.

Oh, the Hokage says these people are going to jail instead of receiving the capital punishment? What, is he going to protect them personally 24 hours a day for the rest of their lives? And so what if he does? Shikako’s far sneakier than that. What obstacle has Shikako ever been up against that she couldn’t solve eventually? And it’s so easy for her to do harm, she often has to actively curb her more harmful ideas, it’s so much harder for Naruto to enforce his incorrect decision than it is for Shikako to enact hers. Which, again, the whole issue of this AU.

Anyway, anon, I really appreciate your enthusiasm for this weird AU I made. It makes me so happy that other people are thinking about it as often as I do :D

KakaGai Week 2024: Fire Country's Wilderness

Words: 1,947 Pairing: KakaGai Promt: Collectables

Excitement ran through Kakashi’s veins as he jumped from one building to another on his way to the training ground where he knew Gai would be with his students. He just hoped he was almost finished, because what he had discovered had priority over any training. Or that was his opinion, anyways.

As expected, his friend was torturing the young genin with personalized exercises that would no doubt help them to become chunnin soon. The Hatake didn’t do a lot of that anymore, since Naruto had left with Jiraiya, Sakura was under Tsunade’s supervision and Sasuke… Well, he tried not to think too much about how he had failed him in order to avoid his brain messing up with him even more.

“Yo!” he exclaimed as he reached the team.

“My rival!” Gai greeted with way too much energy. “Have you come to join us in a youthful training?!”

Judging by Tenten’s and Neji’s expressions, the activity was being more a tortuous than youthful. Then again, they had to deal with a high-energy Gai for most of their day, so…

“Not really” he deadpanned. “Could I talk to you for a moment?”

Kakashi put emphasis on sounding serious but not urgent, though the matter was rather pressing, if they asked him. His friend, obviously noticing that, nodded while walking behind him until they were at a safe distance from the genin. Tenten and Neji took that as a signal for taking a break, while Lee started to do push-ups. He really was like a mini clone of Gai.

“So, what is it, rival? A mission?”

“Ah… No” the Hatake said. “I saw a new international delivery entering the village an hour ago.”

“Okay…” the other man nodded, as if waiting for something more. “And…?”

“It was an international delivery, Gai” he pressed.

A few seconds passed before his friend opened his eyes wide.

“Oh! OH! I see!” the taijutsu master exclaimed, suddenly excited and barely containing his energy. A moment after, his expression changed into a sour one as he looked back at the genin and then to Kakashi as if he didn’t know what to do. “I, uh… I know I promised you we would do this together, but my students…”

“Mah, Gai… You promised to open and build them together, but never said anything about shopping, so…”

“You’re right! GREAT!” he beamed, taking out his wallet the next second and offering him a bunch of money. “Here, there should be enough for two or three. We’re almost finished with the training, so maybe we can meet at your house in half an hour?”

The Hatake quickly took the money and put it away before the genin could start wondering what was going on.

“Sounds about right” he nodded. “See you in a bit.”

Not wanting to wait one more second, he shunshined back to almost Konoha’s center. There, at the corner of a building in a secondary street, an international shop brought items from all over the world once a month or so. It was a tricky business, since the provider had to have permits from all the countries to move freely and then be checked in every entrance to ensure they weren’t bringing anything dangerous to the villages. However, the price at which the products were sold definitely compensated those problems to the owners.

A few months ago, when Naruto left the village to study under Jiraiya’s supervision and Sakura told him about wanting to become a medic-nin, Kakashi had gone back to a normal jounin duty. That meant a higher number of dangerous missions and, since he was feeling rather guilty and useless about the whole situation, he also accepted those that nobody else wanted for morale or just because they bordered the suicidal. For several weeks his routine seemed to go back almost to what it was when he was in ANBU, the world grey around him. Of course, as soon as Tsunade noticed —she either paid more attention or cared more than other Kages—, he forced him to step down, but his guilt and sense of being useless remained there.

Until Gai intervened, that was.

Even after so many years, he still didn’t understand how it was possible for that man to find him at his lowest and manage to put him back together. One day, when he’d find the strength to do it, he would tell him how much that meant for the Hatake.

In that occasion, Gai had opted to make him focus on other things. Stupid things.

‘Maybe we should find a hobby for when we’re off-duty’ the taijutsu master had said. ‘We have too much money saved, anyways.’

It was a stupid suggestion. Shinobi didn’t need hobbies. And yet, the other man had dragged him through all Konoha’s streets until they found the international shop. There were a lot of different products they had never tried, so Gai made a challenge to finally do it. One of the things they bought were a couple of rectangular white boxes that were supposed to contain a puzzle or something like that. Obviously, the intention of buying two was too see who could put it together faster.

Once at Gai’s home, the package revealed to have not puzzles, but some kind of figures that could be put together to make a three-dimensional landscape of a well-known part of the world. And it was not one puzzle, but a series of collectables ones that could appear randomly in the box. The whole building process turned out to be way more difficult than what they had initially predicted, but the result was rather accurate and pleasant to the sight. And that without counting that each landscape was constructed to act as some kind of day-to-day object, like a pot, a door’s holder or fishbowl.

The thing was that, after hours of building those things, Gai won the challenge and Kakashi was left with the desire to get some of the other constructions that appeared in the pamphlet. One in particular became his favorite with just a simple look, but he would never admit it. As stablished before, to have a hobby like that was stupid for a shinobi. And those things were expensive to buy, even with their jounin pays.

The next day, Gai appeared at his house with two more and they spent all the afternoon at it again.

Little was needed after that, the activity becoming something satisfactory for both of them. To Gai, it was another opportunity for a challenge. To Kakashi, it was a relaxing activity. And, of course, it was also a nice way to spend time together without having to factor feelings in the equation. That was as completely different story.

One thing they didn’t consider after buying the six available constructions at the shop, was that once they were all finished they had to wait until the next delivery to get more, which could take from one to three months.

Thus, why Kakashi had run to find Gai the moment he had seen the international delivery arriving to Konoha. Now, he waited in his little apartment with four white boxes mocking him on the desk. They were challenging him to be opened and reveal if they had gotten anything new. Up until then, they had bought eight boxes —plus those four— and gotten five different landscapes and one duplicate twice. They both had one of the repeated, while the other four had been distributed by tossing a coin and the duplicates had been given to some friends. And they still had twelve more to collect each of them. The Hatake had opted to not do the math to calculate how much money he would need to make the whole collection.

What was most annoying —especially being a shinobi—, was that it was impossible for them to know what was inside of the box without opening it, which of course you could only do once bought. There was no serial number to check and the weights seemed to be identical.

“I’m here!” a loud voice exclaimed while banging at his door. “Open up, rival!”

Sighing after having to wait for so long, the Hatake left the chair to let his friend come inside.

“Four again?” Gai huffed, looking at the packages on the desk. “I really thought they would consider my suggestion of bringing more next time!”

“I guess we’re the only ones buying them for now” Kakashi shrugged. “So bringing more would probably take up space for other best-selling items, even if we do leave a fortune in this... Anyways, are you ready?”

“Always, rival!” his friend beamed. “You’ll see, I’m sure this time we won’t get any duplicate!”

They got two duplicates. Yup, their financial savings were going to disappear thanks to those collectables, Kakashi was sure of that now.

At least they got two news, too. And not some random ones, no, they got it. The one he had been waiting for since the first time. Called ‘Fire Country’s wilderness’, it was a small fountain and lamp that worked connected to the electricity by a plug. It had a conical form, with the most famous animal species of the territory, all replicated with absolute precision and a landscape so beautiful that it brought peace to the Hatake just by looking at it. That, together with the soft running of the water and the dim light, made of it an object that he would appreciate for the rest of his life. If he got it, that was.

“Well, then” he coughed, trying to look nonchalant. “Should we toss the coin to see who takes which?”

“We could, but I don’t think it will be necessary this time.”

That look again. The damn look indicating that Gai was able to read him like an open book even when the only visible part of his face was an eye. He hated and loved it at the same time.

“Are you sure? It would only be fair.”

“Of course I’m sure, rival!” the other man assured, patting him on the back. “You take the fountain, and I’ll take the Wind Country oasis, see? That way we’re all happy.”

Trying to hide how delighted he actually was about it, Kakashi took the object in his hands and found the perfect spot for it in the corner of the desk next to the bookshelf. There, it would be protected from falling and a plug was accessible to connect it so it could act as a lamp and a fountain when turned on. He did so almost immediately, satisfied with the calm sound of the thin creek running down.

“Would you like to stay for lunch?” he asked before thinking about it, his mind still focused on the warm feeling in his belly.

“Are you sure, rival? I wouldn’t want to impose…”

He wasn’t.

“I wouldn’t ask otherwise, Gai.”

“Well, in that case… Of course!”

They would slip. Again. Either if it was only making out or more, he knew it would happen. Some time ago, he had tried to promise himself to stop that kind of relationship with Gai until he could offer him what he really wanted: a partner. They had even —more or less— talked about it in the past and agreed it was for the best to not keep getting involved like that.

Evidently, the decision was not working for them. Not as long as Gai’s hands kept finding their place on his hips while he cooked in the kitchen. But it was ok, he tried to convince himself. That would be the last time. For sure. No more slips.

It was not the last time.

Glowing around you - Sasuhina Month Day 22

So I got the idea from seeing the prompt. Oddly, despite this show being one of my absolute favourites, it never accured to me to do a CCS SasuHina AU. I thought about it when I first started watching it, but not much ever came of it. But here we are. To make the ages a bit more clear, Sasuke, Hinata, Ino, Temari, Gaara and Naruto (last 3 are in here for like 1/4 of the story) are in middle school, specifically their last year. Kakashi and Iruka are in their first year of college. There is still age difference but a lot less weird if they were their standard ages. Kakashi's father adopted Hinata when she was a child, which is kinda mentioned but not fully dived into. Who knows, maybe I'll do another fic for this au. Enjoy. Neat & Messy | Ordenado y Desordenado

Capture & Release | Capturar y Liberar

@sasuhinamonth

The sounds of a sword cutting through the air was mainly heard when you walked through the door of the Uchiha apartment. Sasuke was sure anyone else would be very concerned at the sight of him practising with his sword in the middle of the living room but thankfully Itachi was more than used to it. his brother dropped the bags he held onto the kitchen island before grabbing the water pitcher from the fridge. Sasuke let the sword switch back into its sealed form when his brother handed him a glass of water.

“I’m telling you now, I’m not cooking.” Itachi said after his own sip. “It’s too hot to do anything.”

Summer was almost near an end and the second semester would start soon for the middle school students, including Sasuke. Not that he felt like he got that much of a break. Summer homework took what felt like ages to finish, not to mention all the Namikaze Cards.

Months ago, Sasuke moved from his home in Shanghai to Konoha, Japan for one reason. Powerful cards, filled with personalized magic created by the most powerful wizard of all time had been scattered all over Konoha by a seemingly normal girl. One who had no magic but managed to unlock the book keeping the cards contained and summon a card with no issue whatsoever. Sasuke was here to try and get the rest of the cards that were created by Namikaze Minato and become the new master. But he had competition, the seemingly normal girl. Hyuuga Hinata.

Sasuke didn’t care for the story of how the book came to be in her family’s possession, just that she got the affection of the guardian of the cards Kurama – the same one who fell asleep on the job which caused Hinata to accidently scatter them – who gave her the means to capture the cards. She could do what he couldn’t, return the card’s physical form back into a card and she was proving to be just as stubborn as he was in being the one the card choose to follow. But even competing against each other, Hinata went out of her way to be nice to him and as much as he wanted to ignore it, she was making increasingly hard. Most of the time he was helping her rather than trying to get ahead of her.

“Mm, before I forget,” Itachi said, putting his glass down and flopping on the couch, “there was a flyer for a festival at the Tsukimine Shrine. You should go. Also, put the groceries away.” He ordered.

Rolling his eyes, Sasuke did as he was ordered while complaining. “Why would I go to a festival?”

“Because you rarely ever do anything? If it’s not school or involving the Namikaze Cards, you’re at home training, studying or reading. Just, be a normal 15-year-old for once and go have fun. Who knows, maybe the delightful Hinata will be there.”

After an incident involving the Move Card, Hinata came to his house to get dry clothes and met his brother, who was completely taken with her. He thought her delightful and a breath of fresh air. Sasuke was sure his eyes had never rolled so much in one afternoon. Not to mention, Itachi kept trying to poke at him, telling him to be nicer and how good it was that he wasn’t being such a bully to her anymore and oh, how their mother would love her. Not to mention asking about certain things, like what Sasuke thought of Hinata, did she suit whatever costume she was given by her friend and partner in crime Ino gave her, how was she? He had zero clue what his brother was trying to pull, though, that feeling was most of the time.

“If you don’t go,” Itachi warned when Sasuke still scoffed at the idea, “I’m going to tell mom.”

Their mother might be the one related to Namikaze and the reason her children knew magic but she was also the one who wanted them to have a normal childhood.

So, he went. he was only planning on it for an hour to make his brother happy enough for him to not call their mother but he got sucked into a shooting game and was winning, a lot, when Hinata found him.

“Uchiha-kun!” Hinata waved at him from where she was with her friends and their classmates, including Ino with her ever-present camera. Her yukata was lavender with pink and yellow flowers on it, a wicker purse hanging off her wrist. “You’re here too?”

“Woah, nice haul.” Temari noted, looking at all the prizes he’d won, mainly food and a few small plushes. Her younger brother Gaara wouldn’t take his eyes off the raccoon plushes he managed to get.

“That’s very impressive.” Sasuke felt everything still at that voice. Turning, he spotted Iruka smiling down at him. Sasuke didn’t even think, he just grabbed some of the food he managed to win and handed it over. “Is it ok if I have it?” Sasuke didn’t speak, so much as nod in answer. “Thank you very much. You’re pretty amazing Uchiha.”

When Itachi came out as gay, in childlike curiosity, Sasuke thought he might be too but quickly dismissed it. he thought his mother was the most perfect woman in the world and wanted to marry her when he got older. After he was usually too focused on studying and practising magic to focus on girls, but he was still pretty sure of his sexuality, at least until he came to Konoha. His first meeting with Hinata had involved his attempt at stealing the cards back only for Hinata’s brother to spot him. He was ready to fight a college student when Iruka found his best friend and hopped the fence. He hadn’t read the room, gushing about the amount of steamed buns he’d gotten. Sasuke took one look and he was pretty sure he was bi. No one had ever flustered him that much, to the point of running away.

Hinata and Sasuke weren’t only fighting for the Cards, they were fighting for Iruka’s attention. If Hinata having a guardian and the ability to seal the cards didn’t frustrate him, it was her luck that Iruka’s best friend was her older brother Kakashi. It felt even worse when she wouldn’t lord these achievements over his head. oddly enough, even though Sasuke had mentioned Iruka to his brother constantly, he was always more interested in Hinata and what she would do whenever they’d compete for attention.

“Oh, Hinata, look!” Ino said, distracting them from Hinata trying to wave away her water yoyo Iruka won for her. The blonde photographer pointed at a bunny plush wearing overalls. “Isn’t he cute? You like bunnies right?”

Hinata’s face lit up. “Yeah. He’s adorable!”

“He looks very soft. That fox plush you have, maybe he wants a friend?” Iruka said, opening one of the food packages and tilting it towards Kakashi.

He hadn’t been focusing on Kurama, just that Iruka noticed something about it. he had to get it for him. He wasn’t sure why Kakashi followed him but they glared at each other as they slammed their money down for the ring toss. By the time the stall attendant took pity on them and gave them both a plush, Ino was standing there by herself filming them. Temari and Gaara were also still there, the younger boy stealing the raccoon items he’d won.

“Where’s Hinata?” Kakashi asked.

“She and Iruka went to go explore.” Ino explained.

Sasuke took off at that, Kakashi after him. They found the two near the back of the shrine, far away from the festival. While Kakashi embarrassingly handed his plush to his sister, Sasuke silently handed the one he got to Iruka.

“I can have this too?” Sasuke nodded. “Thank you.”

“We were gonna grab snow cones. Did you wanna come with or are we splitting up again?” Temari asked.

“Do you want one?” how was Sasuke supposed to answer? He nodded regardless but was stopped when Hinata grabbed his arm. “Are you guys coming?”

“We’ll be right there.” Hinata promised, letting the others walk ahead.

Ino turned to them, eyebrow raised. “Ok, what’s going on?”

Sasuke asked the same as he pulled his arm away. When Hinata shushed him, he was ready to snap when glowing green orbs started to fall out of a tree. Sasuke looked up, taking in the lights as they floated down like snowflakes.

“I can’t even sense it.” Sasuke noted.

“I can’t either, but I had a dream about this. Kurama scolded me for not remembering it but when it started falling, that’s when I knew.”

Hinata was staring at the lights as well as Sasuke stared at her. She was constantly surprising him, reminding him how strong she actually was, even with no training. Cards were constantly coming to her because they knew about her and most had decided they liked her. It was easy to compete with her for Cards and Iruka’s attention, to be slightly jealous how easy this seemed to be for her, but it was hard to ignore how kind and friendly she was. It didn’t matter they were opponents, to her, he was a friend and someone she could trust. It was starting to be hard to see her as just an opponent.

“Release!” Hinata called, unlocking her Sealing Staff from its key form. “Return to the guise you once held, Namikaze Card!” the glowing lights all converged to her staff until it took the shape of a card and it floated into Hinata’s hand. “GLOW. That’s what it’s called. I wonder if Minato created it like he did FLOWER, just wanting to bring a smile to people’s face.”

The bright one on her face made the answer very clear. It was no surprise the Cards liked her.

__________________

Hinata felt her body wake up as she opened her eyes and stared at the dim sunlight shinning in through the window. She could hear Kurama snoring on the pillow behind her and when she got up, he was hiding behind his tails, all curled up. She started to flatten her hair, the curls that came from sleeping getting a mind of its own when she looked at the handkerchief sitting on her desk.

Had that only been a week ago?

Hinata thought her life was crazy, being an adopted girl of a single father and his son and having magic, enough to unlock a book of powerful cards and use them. she thought that’s all it was, just her hiding what she could do, even when Ino found her out after a day and when Sasuke came into her life. Except her brother had powers, his ability to see ghosts and maybe more – she knew MIRROR definitely knew something was up with her brother. These powers he’d recently handed over to his best friend, Hinata’s crush for the longest time and the hidden vessel of the other Guardian of the Cards, Toneri. The name Hinata knew him by, Umino Iruka. Iruka’s whole disguise had been supported by Namikaze Minato’s magic, mainly from the cards under Toneri’s rule. Hinata had enough magic to support Kurama’s hidden vessel but not enough for both. Iruka was going to fade away and depending on how bad it got, Toneri would have disappeared as well. So Kakashi gave his magic to him, had been trying since Hinata started changing the Cards into Hinata Cards. Hinata felt guilty that she wasn’t strong enough, that her brother had to put himself in harm’s way to save her, again. Like she said, MIRROR definitely knew her brother beyond keeping him busy.

After she found out her brother knew, about Iruka and no doubt about her, and she realized how close she’d been to losing Iruka, she knew she had to tell him how she felt. She did, still feeling guilty for almost losing him. She knew, she wasn’t stupid, that her feelings wouldn’t be returned. But as foolishly as she used to hope that her birth father would come back for her, she hoped he’d say yes to the little middle school girl who’d loved him since the first day she met him. He let her down so gently and it clicked for her when he told her he had feelings for someone else. It was Kakashi, Kakashi was the one Iruka loved. She was happy for them, really, but she felt her heart breaking that someone wanted her sibling more than her. She had it happen with her birth family, having it happen with the family who took her in and loved and cared for her made her heart break more.

Sasuke was walking her home when she burst into tears. She talked about how her birth father blamed her for her mother’s death and gave her away, how she thought she wasn’t worth his love no matter how much she begged and how even though Iruka knew she’d find love someday, she was sure it would never happen.

“It will.” Sasuke said, handing her the same handkerchief she held now. “Iruka does love you, not in the way you wanted, but he does. So does your brother and your dad, not to mention Ino. Your birth father didn’t know the type of person he was turning his back on but not once have you let that stop how much love you give. The person who earns your heart, they’re going to be incredibly lucky.”

Sasuke was awkward with words, normally scolding her for not thinking things through but he was so soft and kind, she felt safe and comforted. He was right, her feelings might not have been returned but she still had so much in return. Letting go of her feelings for Iruka was, easy, once she remembered she wouldn’t lose him and that he wouldn’t stop caring for her. He’d been someone other than her family who liked her and she was sure it was possible that she’d latched onto that tighter than necessary. Sasuke’s words helped bring her back to earth and ground her, much like he helped do so many times in her quest to change the Namikaze Cards and figure out what was causing the odd situations where she’d sense his magic. She wanted to do something to thank him.

She got the idea when she left for school. There was a flyer for the winter festival at Tsukimine Shrine. Sasuke seemed to enjoy the other festivals they’d done, clearing out the game stalls like it was no big deal. But she knew from when they got the FREEZE Card, he wasn’t a fan of the cold. And that’s when it hit her. She started planning as she rushed to school and found Sasuke in the classroom doing morning chores.

“Sasuke-kun!”

Wrapping the old flowers in tissue paper, Sasuke looked up, his cheeks dusting red. It was slightly cold in the classroom. “Morning.”

“What are you doing this Sunday?”

Looking confused, Sasuke answered, “Nothing? Unless Itachi decides I’m slacking on magic studies and demands I study more.”

They both knew his brother insisted he get out of the house more, away from studying.

“There’s a festival at the shrine. Come with me.” She stilled for a moment, noting how rude it sounded to demand he go with her but he nodded regardless.

“Sure. what time?”

“6 pm. We’ll meet at the shrine?” when Sasuke agreed, she felt her smile get larger. her plan might actually work. “Here, I’ll go throw the flowers out. you can hand me the vase too.”

Sasuke slid the closed package of dying flowers to Hinata and turned to take the vase off where they kept their winter jackets. “Hinata? I’m glad you’re smiling again.”

Hinata felt herself get slightly red. “I’m fine, really. But thank you. I’ll be right back.”

She greeted Naruto as she passed him out the door, thinking of how to ask Ino to help. It was a slightly ambitious plan, but she wanted to do it, wanted it to be perfect as her way of saying thank you. the relationship she had with Sasuke could have easily never changed from rivals or he could have headed back to Shanghai after she became the new master. She couldn’t be more grateful he was still here. She just hoped he understood that with her gift.

Her father was a godsend, giving her an easy pattern to follow and Ino was able to answer questions she had. Poor Sasuke though, he sat behind her and he worried over her looking more and more tired as Sunday got closer. It was on Saturday, on their half day, that he finally snapped.

“What is going on? you told me you don’t even feel tired anymore whenever you change cards so unless you’re changing them in massive batches again, you shouldn’t look so exhausted.” He demanded to know when they were finally let go. Hinata was still trying to wake up as Sasuke stood over her, begging for an answer.

“It’s fine.”

“Stop saying that!” it had been her answer whenever people mentioned she seemed happier.

“but I am. really.”

“Sorry,” Ino interrupted, “but I’m stealing her. We’re supposed to go shopping. I’ll see you tomorrow Uchiha.”

“6 pm, don’t forget.” Hinata reminded as Ino collected both their jackets and led them to the door. Once they were a good deal away and Sasuke didn’t seem to be following, Hinata let out a sigh. “Thank you Ino.”

“Of course.” Ino said nonchalantly. “do you think you’ll finish in time? He wasn’t wrong, you’ve stayed up so much trying to finish it.”

“I think if I stay up tonight I can get it done. Kakashi caught up with all the chores since dad has been calling him out of school to recover from transferring her powers, so I’ll also be free before 6 pm. Do you think he’ll like it?”

Ino gave him this smile, one that said she knew more than Hinata did. “Trust me, he’ll love it.”

She held onto that, using it to help her finish. Flopping back and listening to Kurama talk about how happy it was over, Hinata took a deep breath and slipped her thumbs into the holes on her turtle necked shirt. She checked the time; glad she was still set for time when the doorbell rang. Assuming it might have been Ino decided to be nice, she was surprised to see Sasuke on the other side of the door.

“What are you doing here?”

Sasuke looked embarrassed, digging his hands deeper into the bomber jacket he wore. “You were so exhausted yesterday that…”

“You came to check on me?” Hinata asked, smiling softly when Sasuke nodded. “Thank you. we can walk over to the shrine together, let me just go get my things.”

She locked the door behind her and followed him as they started walking to the shrine that had so many ties to the Cards and Minato.

“Kurama isn’t coming?” Sasuke asked.

“No, he’s been staying up with me. I’ve been instructed to bring back modern-yaki, rice crackers and at least one sweet item. Itachi ask you to bring anything back?”

“A smile.” Sasuke answered seriously. He kept glancing at the bag she brought, more of a gift bag than any of her standard ones.

“I have something for you.” she said when she clipped the top button on her jacket together. she moved to stand in front of him and pulled out the muffler she’d been working on plus the handkerchief she’d washed. “It’s a thank you, for listening to me that day. And for what you said.” Sasuke stared at it before looking at her and she started to feel self-conscious. “Unless you don’t want it?”

“No!” he yelled, swiping the items from her hand, wrapping the scarf around his neck before turning to her, this incredibly soft smile on his face. It wasn’t the same one he’d given her at the park, but it was close. “Thank you.”

“I should be thanking you, but I know if I start, we’ll go in a circle over and over.” she wasn’t wrong. “Ino said she’d meet us at the shrine,” she said instead, continuing to walk to the shrine. “I also invited Kakashi and Iruka, but I haven’t seen Iruka since that day so who knows if he’ll be there.”

“Don’t you think it’s possible he’s avoided meeting you because he’s scared of how you’ll feel. You feel bad for not noticing his power was vanishing and he feels bad for rejecting you for your brother.”

“But I’m not mad at him! Really I’m not.”

“Hinata, I don’t know if you realise just how much people don’t want to hurt you, even if it’s just a little.”

Sasuke sounded so sure of the fact that Hinata didn’t know how to respond. Iruka did arrive with her brother, looking awkward and out of place and she grabbed his hand to drag him with her. Normally she would have waited for him to do that to her but she realised it was better to treat him like she did Kakashi. Obviously she was nicer to him and made her actual brother pay for everything. She realised when she wasn’t pressured to try and impress him or stare at him through love hazed glasses, it was easy to hang out with him.

She sent Kakashi off to get them juice, Iruka following to help him carry everything and what was supposed to be a quiet break where she showed Ino and Sasuke the Moon Mirror Pond, turned into another fight with a creature reeking of Minato’s magical signature. Thanks to Sasuke’s attempt at stopping it, she got the idea to use the Pond and the THUNDER Card to fully electrocute the creature. It worked, but with a downside. Electrical wires had been pulled off during the fight, leaving the whole Shrine in darkness.

“They might have to cancel the whole thing.” Iruka said out loud when he and Kakashi rushed over to see if they were ok. “It’s not like they have a way to light the place up again.”

She and Sasuke shared a look. The Shrine staff didn’t, but she did.

“I’ll be right back!” she said, grabbing Sasuke’s arm and dragging him with her, Ino following.

“Where are you guys going?” Kakashi yelled after them.

With her Star Wand out again, Hinata pulled the GLOW Card from one of the pockets inside her jacket, tossing it out in front of her. “Shed your old form and become anew, under our contract, I beseech you. GLOW!”

the yellow and blue Card turned into the pale lavender of the Hinata Cards as GLOW was released and the little fairy flew up into the sky and released the lights. Just like when she caught the card, the sky was full of the glowing lights gently falling like snow. Hinata held her hands out to catch the lights, her Staff tucked into her arm. She gently blew the lights out of her hands, giggling as they swirled in circles before floated down. she noticed Sasuke was staring at her, his own small handful of lights in hand. She barely noticed Ino taking pictures of them both.

“What?”

“Nothing. I’m…I’m just really glad you’re happy again.”

Ino texted her pictures later that night. they were of them all at the festival, including the action pictures from during the fight of Sasuke using his thunder and wind talismans, jumping on the tree, defending Hinata while she changed the WOOD and THUNDER Cards and when they were within GLOW’s lights. There was also another picture within the batch, an older one. It was one where she’d caught GLOW originally, but it was just before then, when she’d been staring up at the falling lights. The picture was of behind them, Sasuke staring at her as she stared at the lights. There was a similar picture from today, plus one of the two of them looking at each other.

It's crazy how things can change and yet be so similar. Sometimes, things are feeling the same, but a person just doesn’t know it yet.

Ooh question, you mentioned rewatching as an adult, and I'm curious, what kinds of things do you view differently now? I'm rereading the manga after a long time too, and the big thing I'm noticing is that I have more compassion now, especially towards characters who I didn't realize reminded me of myself and not in the best ways 😂 And especially during part 1 I found myself wondering why we don't see their parents more often (for those who still have them) and who took care of them growing up (for the others).

I have felt similar!! Ok I’m gonna maybe list stuff out on what I’ve noticed I view differently.

Very long post under the cut of me rambling (again)!

1. My Opinion on What I Consider Good Media Has Changed

Starting with this one as I feel it’s a big overarching thing that’ll dictate all my other opinions and thoughts. I’ve watched, read, and listened to A LOT of other series and media since I first started watching Naruto (also you know life experience and such), so I have a better idea of what is “good” media and what is “bad.” When I was younger, I considered Naruto to be the best of the best, but I don’t think that now (as far as anime that title now goes to FMA:B it’s very good please watch it if you haven’t oh my god). It has a lot of flaws, some endearing and others… not so much. Granted that’s any piece of media. Nothing is perfect (not even FMA:B). But despite that, I’ve also learned that it’s ok to still enjoy it!! Imo it’s not all bad, I mean, we’re still here discussing it yea?

I guess the TLDR of this part is: it’s cringe but that’s ok cuz life is short and we should enjoy the stuff we like.

2. Female Characters/Feminism

I feel like, while these are different topics, they’re very linked together in how I watch Naruto now so I’m putting them together. When I was younger, I didn’t like really any of the female cast (except Tenten). I found them “annoying,” to put it simply. Sakura always chasing after Sasuke?? Lame. Ino being obsessed with her looks?? Shallow. Hinata losing to Neji? Weak. I began to think that I didn’t like those characters because I didn’t like female characters mostly as a whole (which is kinda hilarious cuz I did start making Chihiro back then who does in fact identify as a woman LOL!!). But this negative attitude towards female characters not only leaked into how I consumed other media, but how I saw myself and other women irl. Like I distinctly remember believing that a woman could never beat a guy in anything. Which is uh… not true!! And kinda fucked up!!!

Now that I’m older I just realize that kishimoto doesn’t know how to write women all that well. Imo, it’s not the girls’ faults, it’s their creator. Which is disappointing but also freeing almost?? Plus, I can now appreciate what good they do have to offer!! (I talked a little about the konoha 12 girls and what I like about them in this ask in case you’d like details on individual characters)

I think also being exposed to other fans with differing opinions and views has helped me with this as well. When I first started watching I didn’t really go online (wasn’t a thing in Cuba plus I wasn’t really interested), so I didn’t really have other perspectives to bounce off of.

Also wanted to add that there are definitely parts of the show I laughed off before but you know, just are not acceptable nowadays. Mainly thinking of Shikamaru talking down on girls/women, Neji made a rude comment about girls too (that Tenten corrected him on tho thank you queen), and some bits that could be perceived as a little transphobic (I’m not trans tho so I don’t wanna speak for them on that bit). Its viewpoints that I feel are a product of the time, but does not make the overall series bad per se.

3. Seeing Other Children as a Child VS as an Adult

Ngl since I grew up with Naruto, I feel as if I will always see them as my peers in a sense. If anything, almost like the “older kids” in school. Like I don’t know if this is a common perception, but I remember when I was like in 2nd grade I saw 6th graders as like tiny adults, but then when I was in 6th grade I saw 2nd graders as like babies. Does that make sense?? Anyway, it’s interesting rewatching Naruto as an adult and seeing my “peers” when they were younger. I remember thinking that 12 & 13 year olds were badass and cool and practically ready for the real world (I was like 8 or 9 when I first started watching leave me alone), and being amazed at stuff like the chunin exams. Nowadays my brain just kinda goes “why are we letting these CHILDREN go to war???” It’s a similar story with like the sensei. Thinking they’re so experienced and old and… now I’m the same age as them and I’m still young!!

4. Might Gai is Cringe and I Love Him For That

The way I didn’t appreciate this man when I was a kid is a CRIME. Teaching his students (and friends) that it’s important to find joy in life is SO IMPORTANT and Gai just does an EXCELLENT job with that!! He strives to be a source of light for the people in his life, and to show others it’s important to smile and laugh from time to time. It warms my cold dead grownup heart what can I say. There’s a line in OG Naruto after Lee beats Sasuke in their fight before the chunin exams, where Naruto turns to Sasuke and Sakura as their cringing at Lee and Gai and says, “actually, it’s kinda sweet how they’re all hugging and stuff!” And that kinda summarizes my thoughts on them.

TLDR Might Gai is cringe but he is free and I love him so much for that.

5. Seeing Myself in Characters I Didn’t Before

Off the top of my head, the three characters I see myself in more so now than when I was younger is definitely Choji, Lee, and Tenten.

I was never popular growing up, especially when I moved back to the US after living in Cuba. Kids just didn’t wanna play with me or have me on their sports teams, so I was purposefully left out oftentimes, kinda like how choji was when he was younger. Rewatching that part made me cry honestly HAHA I saw myself so clearly. I’m also plus size so the beauty standards he has to deal with really speak to me. I remember Shikamaru telling him one time that girls don’t have to be skinny to be pretty and I would be lying if that didn’t give me a huge amount of confidence in myself.

Rock Lee’s story has always been top notch, but as someone who chose to specialize in a path that I didn’t really have natural talent for myself it REALLY speaks to me now. I’ll be 100% honest, I was never really one of those “been drawing since I could hold a pencil” kind of kids. I liked it, but I didn’t really consider myself any good until like 8th grade or so. Anyway, there’s this scene where Lee is crying at the training grounds cuz he’s scared that, no matter how hard he works, it’ll all be for nothing and that he’ll always be a loser, and uh… had to turn the show off cuz that struck WAAAAAAAY too close to home for me as an artist with a… let’s be real, a failing art business. Anyway, he inspires me though to keep going cuz this is what brings me joy. I may take longer than most, but that doesn’t mean I’m less of a person for it.

Tenten I’ve honestly seen a lot of myself in even when I was younger! But there’s this filler episode that goes into detail on how she tried really hard to be just like Tsunade, since that was her dream since she was little. Turns out she doesn’t have the capacity to do that (not being able to do medical ninjutsu well, etc), but she finds her own strengths along the way. What really spoke to me was letting go of your childhood dreams. It’s hard. It feels like you’re failing in a way. But Tenten was able to persevere and find a new and even better path forward for herself. And that’s just amazing. I love seeing that, and it helps me feel as if I too and maybe find my path.

6. Final Thoughts and Random Little Things

I think it’s also safe to say that I can pick up on story flaws (I’m looking at you 4th great ninja war arc) and inconsistencies (how the heck does the hyuga clan work wtf). It’s a long series and nowadays you can binge the whole thing in one sitting (I don’t recommend that please take care of yourself). Back in my day I had to wait a whole week to watch the next 26 minute episode with commercials in between. Also I was a kid. AHAHA!! But again, long series, so I’m sure Kishi forgot about certain details while he was being pushed to continue the series.

Also my views on certain things that happened in the series changed based on what I know what happens later, which I find to be quite fun!

Overall I still enjoy the series, both for similar reasons as I did back in the day (Neji) and for new reasons!! Flaws and all. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

didn’t the self-rec ask say five favorites? are there not four more?

So it appears I know how to write but I do not know how to read haha. Thank you for letting me know.

I'm gonna copy paste my first answer so we get all five in one post!

1. Silhouettes: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38185219

It's a fic centred around Shikaku, Ionichi and Chouza's first Chuunin exam as kids. It's been over a year and I still really really wanna write more fics in this universe with them.

There are fic that I am maybe more emotional about, but it's one where I've never been like "okay this isn't optimal, but I'm gonna go with that" while writing. I'm really happy with how I could explore intergenerational relationships in Konoha, both on an interpersonal level, and on a political level with how quick the world has changed and how each generation has lived through extremely different times.

Also I don't often write fights and I had several here and I think they're good? I'm happy about them at least.

2. In You: https://archiveofourown.org/works/36072856

I think it's a fic from the moment where I was really starting to fall in love with bittersweet ambiences and mundane daily life (I have not changed since then). It's a KakaGai fic about Kakashi's routine after Gai's death and his state of mourning. I promise it's not that sad. I love it a lot.

3. Take Your Heart Above the Water: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38403286/

It's a Blank Period NaruHina and SasuNaru fic that explores their respective relationships to family, love and home, as they try to figure out if and how they want to be/stay with one another.

I am very soft for Naruto wanting to be a dad.

4. The Smell of the Rain: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46041961/

This one hasn't always been easy to write but it's my biggest worldbuilding baby. Full of headcanons about Konohan legal structure and history, clan politics in Konoha and Suna, Kankurou's relationship to puppetry, Sand Family dynamics, Aburame clan history and traditions... Plus some sweet sweet uncle Kankurou and uncle Shino content and cute babies.

This series has done a lot for how my writing process and style and interests have evolved this past year and I'm very glad it did.

5. Before a Doll: https://archiveofourown.org/works/43038387/

Honnestly it's hard to chose a fic from this series because I love all of them to pieces, and the current WIP might over take this one when it's done, I don't know, but yeah.

KankuShika modern AU, I got to write several scene about their respective relationshipd to gender and sexuality and queerness and coming out and I was very happy to get the space to do so much on that front.

I'm really loving writing the Sand Siblings dynamic in this series too, I think they have a great balance between struggling to make it work between them because they are very different and it's hard, but also genuinely wanting to put in the effort because they care deeply. Love them.

That's 5 this time! Most of my fics belong to series. They can usually be read independently (if not it'll be in the notes), but that means if you like anything you can usually find more to keep going afterwards haha

Edit: now I did five more here!

Like why did Kishimoto make the Uchihas cops?

Konoha is a military village, so there can’t be that many civilians. Like we have Ayame and the Ichiruki ramen guy (did we ever get his name?). We don’t really know anything about Tenten and Lee’s families and we barely know anything about Sakuras (her dad was a ninja I think). Other than that all of the Konoha characters are ninjas and the parents that we get to know were also ninjas. So like how many civilians could there really be? Not that many. So then who were the Uchiha police force meant to police? The soldiers when they were off duty? On duty? It could be, but why would Tobirama give the Uchihas that much systemic power when he didn’t really like them and wanted to oppress them? Is it because of the whole “people don’t tend to like the ones that crack down on crime” thing? Like “Boohoo people don’t like cops because they have systemic power and have a tendency to abuse it”, “Poor them”. what?

Like why did Kishimoto decide to make this weird connection between a fictional oppressed group (the Uchihas) and a real life oppressor group (cops)? He didn’t have to do it, but he still did. And like why? It’s not really needed for the plot to work, but he still kept bringing it up. What was his intention with this? Is he just stupid?

#Naruto #uchiha clan #I will never understand kishimoto and the way he comes up with plots #This was such a nonsensical plot😭😭#what was Kishimoto thinking?#I’m very inclined to say that kishimoto is ‘blue lives matter’#but considering how he ended up doing the Uchiha plot line #he seem to be more ‘fuck cops’#that said though the story as a whole is very ‘pro’ military and imperialism #so like #what did he mean with this?#kishimoto is just stupid #ignore my rant😭😭😭

Worth The Risk Chapter 16

Extreme content/trigger warning! This chapter contains graphic descriptions of physical/sexual violence.

ALSO: I’ve gotten some feedback that Naruto seems like too nice a person to do something so awful, but that’s why I chose him as the villain! The character is supposed to seem super good-natured to everyone who doesn’t know the truth, which is why Sakura wasn’t able to convince any of her friends in Konoha.

This is also just a fanfiction.

The real Naruto would never do something like this, of course.

Thanks again for reading, y'all!

“Whoa, Sasuke, calm down! What happened?” Itachi lifted both hands in a calming manner as his little brother paced back and forth, red in the face, cursing unintelligibly, and overwhelmingly pissed off.

“I swear to fuckin’ god, I’m gonna kill them both.”

This morning, Sasuke uncharacteristically wanted to dote on Sakura, to kiss her, hold her, and smother her with gifts just because he could. Now, he wished she was in front of him so he could wrap his hands around her neck and- ‘Don’t lie to your damn self, you sad sack of shit. If she was here, you wouldn’t lay a finger on her.’

The thought only made the younger Uchiha brother angrier.

“Tell me what happened, or I won’t be able to help,” the elder one said, an expert at dealing with his sibling’s violent temper.

Sasuke stopped pacing and faced him, nearly shouting, “She played me. That’s what happened. Sakura fucking- She-!” He groaned before returning to the therapeutic act of walking back and forth in the large bedroom. Itachi asked, “What did Sakura do? And where is she? Doesn’t she usually come home with you?”

~One Hour Ago~

“My name’s Naruto. What’s yours?”

Sasuke’s red-tinted gaze locked onto the blonde-haired, blue-eyed dickhead Sakura was cowering behind, “If you want to live to see tomorrow, shut your fuckin’ mouth.”

The tan-skinned man, apparently named Naruto, was about the same height and only slightly less muscular. He grinned sheepishly as though he hadn’t grasped how serious the Uchiha man was about that threat, “Well, I can’t just let you talk to my girlfriend like that, can I? I’m not that type of guy.”

‘Did he just say boyfriend?’ Sasuke’s dark eyes turned onto Sakura again, who refused to meet his gaze and continued staring at the ground with a pale face and trembling limbs.

“You’re her ex,” he said, more of a statement than a question.

Naruto’s grin faltered slightly before returning in full, “Not anymore. We’re back together, right?” Sakura subtly nodded but refused to do anything else.

“So, are you gonna back off? I don’t want to fight you, but I will,” his blue eyes were warm and cheerful, as was his voice, “I’m a lot stronger than I look.”

Sasuke’s hand slid into his pocket, wrapping around his knife, “I’m not going to fight you, asshole. I’m gonna kill you.”

“Please, stop. Both of you,” Sakura suddenly said, her voice softer than usual.

~Back To The Present~

“-and my dumb ass actually let them leave.”

Itachi’s eyes were narrowed, unfocused, and directed at the ground as he thought aloud, “It doesn’t make any sense. Sakura said she doesn’t have anyone.”

“Yeah, well, she said a lot of shit, didn’t she? The lyin’ bitch.” Sasuke was masking his hurt with rage. Both brothers knew it but didn’t acknowledge it.

“I don’t know, Little Brother. Something seems off about all of this. I think we should ask Nagato for the info he has on her.”

The Akatsuki gang would never allow someone to live under their main house’s roof, much less offer them a position among their ranks, without doing a more than thorough and highly illegal background check. Hospital, police, and court records, all of which were sealed, had been hacked into and copied for the gang’s personnel files.

Sasuke wasn’t having any of his brother’s coolheadedness, though. No, he was still full of anger and dying to murder something or someone with his bare hands, “Who gives a fuck about her past? She’s as good as dead to me.”

‘That’s not true, and you know it. You weak, fragile man.’

Itachi rolled his eyes, coming to a stand and opening the bedroom door, “Well, if you won’t do it, then I will. I’ll let you know if I find anything.”

‘Fuck him. Why can’t he just get mad with me? If she doesn’t want anything to do with me, then I don’t want anything to do with her.’

The younger Uchiha man finally gave up pacing and pretending to be angry, falling heavily onto the bed with his hands in his hair and glaring at the ceiling. After all they did last night and even how calm things were when they woke up together this morning, Sasuke never expected this to happen.

It was all too confusing.

Besides the few short-lived relationships with crazy bitches like Tayuya and Yugao, Sasuke’s entirely new to the idea of a relationship. He and Sakura didn’t outright agree to date, but it was obvious that was where they were headed. It’d have been his very first actual girlfriend that he didn’t intend to drop before their one-month anniversary.

Even before last night, he’d occasionally catch Sakura looking at him with an unfamiliar, warm expression that no one’s ever sent his way. At first, he didn’t know what it was and even felt a little awkward, but once he realized it was her inability to completely mask her feelings for him, it made him happy and a little prideful when he noticed.

‘How did all of that change over the course of a few hours? Did she seriously sleep with me while dating someone else?’ Sasuke never imagined she’d be capable of such a thing. Even now that he witnessed it with his own eyes, he struggled to believe it.

Sakura was so terrified she couldn’t contain her trembling as Naruto all but dragged her along up the stairs of the house he’d rented out. ‘Something terrible’s about to happen; I just know it.’

After four years of tiptoeing around the violent man, sensing when he was about to have an outburst became second nature, and all her alarms were going off at max volume. The biggest hint was that the blonde didn’t speak a word or even look at her the entire car ride here.

Upon unlocking and opening the front door, her fears were confirmed when she was shoved roughly inside, stumbling and barely stopping herself from falling onto the hardwood floor.

“Why would that low-life care if we’re dating, Sakura?” His voice was calm, as was how he steadily locked the door and turned to face her.

“When we signed the employment contract, he agreed to protect me, that’s all.”

Naruto held out his hand, “Give me your phone.”

Sakura stepped back, her grip tightening on the device, “Why?”

“I said, give me your phone. Hand it over.”

For a split second, the duo stared at one another, and nothing happened. There was no sound or movement. Then, all hell broke loose.

The woman turned her back to Naruto, holding the phone to her midsection with both hands as he wrapped his arms around and tried to pry her fingers away, “Let go!”

“No!”

After about a minute of struggling, the man became fed up with Sakura’s defiance and grabbed a firm handful of her hair at the scalp. He pulled her through a hallway, “Why do you always make me do this? You know I don’t like it.”

She clawed at his grip with her free hand, crying and trying to kick him while stumbling not to fall. He opened the last door in the long hallway before pulling her down a set of wooden steps.

“N-Naruto, what are you doing? Where are we going?” It wasn’t lit well, and Sakura couldn’t turn to look ahead without losing her balance.

“Where do you think I’m taking you?”

‘...No….’

Just before she broke up with him and he threw her through that window, he’d locked her in the spare bedroom of their house for three entire days. You can probably guess what he did to her during that time. It was the last straw for the pinkette and why she chose to run for her life.

They entered a small room in the basement, and then Sakura was tossed unceremoniously onto a small metal cot with a thin mattress atop it. Before she could gather her bearings, Naruto was on top of her, wrestling her arms down to the bed as he tried to pry the phone from her fingers. The woman sobbed as he finally won. He pressed his knees down onto her biceps to keep her from fighting as he went through the device.

“N-Naruto, please! It hurts!” Her bones wouldn’t break from this, but the bruising would be substantial, not to mention the muscle soreness.

The plea was ignored. A minute later, the blonde tossed the phone to the foot of the bed, “There. I told Sasuke you won’t be coming to work for a few days.” Naruto moved back to straddle Sakura’s hips, his cheerful grin and warm expression in place as though he wasn’t about to torture the poor woman, “Now, what should I do with you? I’m still hurt you thought you could hide, Babe. What do you have to say for yourself.”

‘Just go along with whatever he says. Do what he wants, or it’ll only make things worse.’

Sakura knew from experience not to misbehave when at his disposal like this, so she nodded, “I-I’m sorry! I was wrong. Please forgive me. I’ll never do it again!” He paused as he searched her tearful, scared face before kissing her. She wanted to puke but choked it back because it’d only anger him further.

At first, the woman begrudgingly went along with the kiss, but when she felt his cold fingers slide under her shirt to hold her waist, she pressed her hands to his shoulders and tried to shove him away. Naruto’s nails dug into her skin, his lips leaving hers. His hot breath dusted her face as he said, “If you keep fighting me, I’ll have no choice but to teach you again.”

The threat sent a flight response through her, and she frantically tried to kick and shove the man away with all her strength.

“Just when I think you’ve gotten smart, you pull something like this,” Naruto hissed. While quickly holding her down with one hand, he removed his belt with the other before skillfully tying her wrists together with it.

‘He’s going to hurt me! I can’t do this….not again.’

“Please, no! I’ll stop! I’ll behave, Naruto, please!” All her fighting didn’t matter much to the man, and he made quick work of removing her clothes, tearing some of them in the process to make things go smoother.

Then he was forcing himself inside, between her legs. She cried, screamed, and fought, but nothing helped. A harsh pain came across her cheek, and then a hand wrapped around her throat, effectively quieting the woman.

Naruto glared at her, not pausing in his disgusting actions, “If you don’t stop, I’ll have to be rough. Don’t make me do that.”

Before she could react, those baby blue eyes became distracted, dropping to her shoulder. The monster stopped moving as he released her throat and moved her hair away from where he was looking. His face gradually reddened, the faux cheerfulness disappearing as his glare turned onto her face, “Did he touch you?”

Sakura was so distraught she could barely speak, but she tried, “I-I didn’t-We-!” “Did you let him fucking touch you, Sakura?!” Naruto bellowed, making the woman squeeze her eyes closed and prepare to be hit while sobbing helplessly.

‘I’m going to die. I’m sure of it.’

The next day passed in a whirlwind of rage for Sasuke. Last night, Sakura had the audacity to text him, saying she’d be gone for a few days with an excuse as weak as not feeling well. He knew better. She was just too scared to face him after what she’d done. He didn’t bother replying because all he had to say was for her to go fuck herself.

Itachi called him earlier, between classes, to inform him that Nagato was emailing over all he had on the pinkette, but Sasuke just hung up on him.

‘Why should I care? Fuck her.’ His elder brother tried calling him three times after that, even texting, saying he needed to talk to him about something important, but he knew better. ‘All he’s gonna do is try and convince me Sakura’s not at fucking fault here because she has some stupid ass sob-story-past. I don’t wanna hear it.’

Upon arriving home just before dark, Itachi grabbed his arm and all but dragged him into Nagato’s office, where the redhead, Konan, and Yahiko were waiting. To his surprise, but not that much, another man was there, but he was beaten, bloody, and tied to a chair with a cloth bag covering his head.

Sasuke pulled away, glaring at his brother as the door was closed, “What the fuck?”

“You need to sit down and listen to-” “I don’t need to do shit, Itachi! Get the hell out of my way before I move you myself,” the younger Uchiha threatened, really not in the mood for whatever game they were all trying to play.

“Sakura has been compromised.”

He froze, facing their leader with a paling face, “What did you just say?”

Yahiko repeated himself, “Sakura has been compromised. It’s your duty to take care of this.”

Sasuke shook his head, utterly confused, “What do you mean “compromised”? She may be a cheating bitch, but she wouldn’t do something that stupid.”

Konan then stood, crossed the room, and removed the sack from the bloody man’s head, revealing the white-haired teacher Sakura always hung around. He’d even been at the Christmas party as a plus one of another, trusted guest. Seeing him didn’t clarify anything, and the others seemed to understand that because Itachi explained, “He’s not really a teacher. He’s an undercover cop from Konoha.”

‘No fucking way. This has to be a joke.’

He tried to reason with them, “So? What’s that have to do with-” “I went through Sakura’s records and discovered she’s been in an abusive relationship for over four years. When I looked into the man, his father turned out to be a cop, and who else but Professor Kakashi Hatake stood beside him in their unit photo.”

Itachi was obviously angry, probably because he’d come to like the pink-haired girl. Now, because of this asshole, she was going to die.

Sasuke saw red, speaking directly to the undercover agent, “Why would you do this to her? You had to know what’d happen if we found out.”

“I could’ve brought you all down weeks ago, but I didn’t because I didn’t want her caught in the crossfire.”

“You expect me to believe that horseshit?”

“He’s telling the truth,” Nagato interrupted. “We went through his phone; he has enough proof to send us all to prison. It seems they’ve been watching all of us, Sakura included, for over a month.”

Sasuke needed to sit down, but also couldn’t because too much uncomfortable energy was shooting through his veins, “I don’t understand….”

“Sakura never met me before coming here, but I knew of her well before this assignment,” Kakashi explained, his voice quiet and raspy as he breathed through his injuries, “My unit captain is her ex’s father, and she’d often visit the station with his son when we worked late.”

‘What the hell is he going on about?’

“I don’t think Captain Minato knew about it, but I noticed immediately. My mother was in an abusive relationship when I was a teenager, and it was like I was looking at her all over again.”

“So you knew she was being hurt. That doesn’t explain why you’d sit on the bust of the century for the girl,” Yahiko said.

Kakashi winced, swallowing hard before continuing, “All those photos. Did you bother checking who they came from?”

The Akatsuki leader shared a look with Nagato, who nodded and began typing on his laptop. Itachi shared a glance with Sasuke, but the man looked away to glare at the cop, who was staring as though waiting for him to do something. After a minute, Nagato said, “Found it. All the photos were sent from a phone belonging to someone named Naruto Uzumaki.”

Sasuke’s blood turned to ice. “My name’s Naruto. What’s yours?”

Then, Sasuke had to sit down because if he didn’t, his legs might’ve given out from the guilt that suddenly weighed on him like a ton of bricks.

‘How was I supposed to know?! Why didn’t she tell me?’

Sakura undoubtedly went along with that blonde asshole to prevent those photos from being leaked. It didn’t take a genius to figure that out. Of course, they’d already been handed over to the police, but she hadn’t known that, or else she probably would’ve either told him about it or disappeared without a trace.

She ran to the person she’d been running from, and the Uchiha man showed zero faith, blaming her for playing with his feelings and calling her names.

“Naruto is her ex-boyfriend,” Kakashi added.

Sasuke scoffed, “Yeah, no shit. We’ve gathered that.”

“I chose to wait to do anything until I could get Sakura to trust me enough to listen when I told her to run. I wanted to prevent her from getting caught by that boy again.”

For some reason, the younger Uchiha’s blood turned to fire again, and he punched the man’s face harshly before Itachi grabbed his arm and pulled him back. He still yelled, though, “You have some sick fuckin’ pedophile crush on her? If you care about her so much, how come she still ended up with that asshole?”

‘He knew. He fuckin’ knew she was in danger and didn’t stop it, even before she came to Oto. This fuckin’ jackass. I’ll kill him. I’ll slit his goddamn throat.’

At that moment, all Sasuke could think about was the scars. All of those scars on Sakura’s body. The reason he knew she’d lied about them being from a car wreck was because they were at different points of healing. Some were fresh, some were newly scarred, and some appeared years old and faded.

‘But they were from that blonde guy.’ He pictured Naruto’s outreached hand when he introduced himself yesterday, ‘With those hands, he put her through years of bullshit.’ Sasuke suddenly stood, gaze like fire, and directed on the white-haired cop, “Where is he?”

“He has a rental near the college. I’ll give you the address if you swear not to hurt Sakura.”

Yahiko interjected, “We can’t do that. Because of her carelessness, you have incriminating photos of us all.”

Kakashi shook his head, “I haven’t sent them to anyone else or even backed them up to any hard drives, I swear. You can do whatever you want to me, but leave her out of it. She’s innocent.”

“Is there a way to verify his claim, Nagato?” Konan asked, but her orange eyes were hard on Sasuke in a silent threat to shut up so she could try to help.

The redhead responded, “Yes, but there’s no guarantee this Naruto person hasn’t shared them. I’ll need his devices or at least his IP address.”

The Akatsuki leader said, “If we can locate this boy and prevent the photos from being leaked, then I swear not to harm Sakura.”

“And if Naruto’s sent them to someone else?”

“Then he, Sakura, you, and whoever else has knowledge of this incident will be dealt with.”
