#and suna is currently climbing the ranks...

[causenessus]

me after cold kisses: i never ever ever ever want to do so much research for a smau again

also me (for love notes <3): i must connect my computer to my monitor so that I can display cities in japan that college volleyball teams actually traveled to to play games and then pull up google maps to see how realistic it is that a college volleyball team would travel from one area to another (was thinking of making whatever college everyone goes to be from inarizaki's area but that might be in a completely different area from these cities) (this is important for literally nothing but the way in which I am formatting my song reccs for each chapter)

(i've already read 5 reddit forms and an actual bus website about how college volleyball teams travel)

also i've researched graffiti terms and stuff about photography but they both had like one second of my attention. this whole day has been dedicated to music 😭

To Love an Enemy: Kita Shinsuke 🌊🏖️

Summary: You, [Surname] [Name], are one of the best spies in Japan's yakuza scene. When you turned 20, you were given your first official mission, to retrieve stolen documents in a building the Inarizaki clan has taken over.

However, things don't exactly go your way as you get captured and are forced to work for Inarizaki, things get convoluted when feelings start to come into play, especially when your former nemesis, a.k.a your current boss, can effortlessly make your heart flutter just by talking to you.

No Title Yet (Sakusa Kiyoomi x Reader) 🏖️💧💦

Summary: In a world where powers determine a person's social standings, commoner murder done by nobles is far too common. You are an imperial knight who was saved from this attempted murder by the Empress, then prince's personal knight, who is known as the best knight the Empire has.

Training under her wing, you flourished and quickly climbed up the ranks to the point where you're a personal knight for the princes and princesses of the Empire, even though you have to share the job with this mysterious and brooding knight whose origins are unknown even to the best information collector of the Empire.

But when things take a turn for the worst, you're left in an unstable position, not knowing who to trust while you protect the now incomplete imperial family.

To Love an Enemy: Miya Osamu 💧

Summary: Four years have gone by ever since your twin sister was kidnapped and presumed dead by your family. Four years have you and your brother plotted revenge towards Inarizaki for taking your sister away from your family, causing rebellions and power imbalances in your clan.

On the day you acted on your revenge plot, everything crumbled as your brother's body disappeared while you got kidnapped by Inarizaki, if that's not enough, you got the shock of your life to see your sister not only alive and well, but also co-leading Inarizaki with her husband.

With your old clan reduced to crumbles, you have no choice but to join Inarizaki to continue living, it would've been much easier if the certain twin you've caught feelings for would look at you instead.

Singing My Love to You: Ennoshita Chikara 💧🏖️💦

Summary: Being an idol in a girl group has always been something you've dreamed of ever since you were a child. The flashing lights, the screams of adoring fans, and the influence your presence will have in the media. At 22, you finally got to achieve that dream and become the leader of a girl group of your own through years and years of training, but what you didn't anticipate was how hard it would be.

From the front you've been stuck with for a year, to the toxic fandom you've garnered, to the restrictions it came from being an idol, to problems you have with certain members. Everything you've ever believed in has diminished and you're left with a miserable reality that being an idol isn't as easy and good as it sounded.

To Love an Enemy: Suna Rintarou 💧💦

Summary: Being surrounded by kids has always been something you enjoyed ever since you were young, that's why you ended up becoming a daycare teacher, and at 26 years old, you're living your best life with the cutest and well-behaved little students and reasonable parents that won't blame you mindlessly for every little thing that is out of your control.

You're quite familiar with the parents of each child, so you're quite suspicious of the new, tall and lanky man picking Isui and Hayami up because you've never seen him around, but why is Hayami calling him daddy? Now that you mention it, she never calls her usual parents mommy or daddy, only Isui ever does.

Confronting the handsome man, you instantly feel attracted to him, but what you don't realise is the moment you struck up a conversation with him is when your relatively peaceful life ends.

Singing My Love to You: Kita Shinsuke 💧💦

Summary: Being an idol has never been your dream, you've always wanted to go to university and study until you have a master's degree with a job you love. But fate has never been so kind with its plans and it always seems to disagree with you.

As you reach your third year of high school, it turns out you don't have the money to go to college, not to mention you have two younger siblings to think about, so when an agency offers you a position to be an idol because of a video your friend submitted of you singing, you accept even though you've never liked the idea of being in the spotlight.

You thought you could handle the fact that you have more haters than you do fans, but really, you feel like you're close to your breaking point, and this upcoming movie that you’re forced to star as the main character in isn’t making things better.

To Love an Enemy: Semi Eita 💧💦

Summary: After three years of working at Inarizaki, you're finally sent on an away mission far up in Miyagi to help seal a weapon trade deal with Shiratorizawa. Most things went as expected, except one:

One of the negotiators from Shiratorizawa’s side, Semi Eita, seemed to have taken an interest in you.

You thought it would just be a fleeting crush, but after two years of secretly meeting and texting each other, you’re starting to think that this might end up being something more serious, much more serious than you thought.

So, after negotiating with your bosses, you’re finally given permission to transfer to Shiratorizawa to be closer to Semi, things will be easier from here on out, right?

Singing My Love to You: Suna Rintarou 💧💦

Summary: Being one the most popular idol in your girl group and one of the most popular idols in general has its perks. For one, people treat you better in general and you receive more money from personal projects such as promotions, movies, and whatnot.

But you think it stops there.

You’ve never been able to date freely and have healthy relationships. Most people, whether pursuing a romantic or platonic relationship with you, end up wanting roughly the same thing: money, fame, and pride.

Toxic relationships are nothing new to you at this point in time, you do have good, trustworthy friends though they can be counted on two hands at most, but you wish someone would just swoop in and actually pursue a healthy romantic relationship with you, well, you suppose you still have a long time to find that someone, for now, you’ll just focus on this upcoming collaboration with one of the most popular boybands of Japan.

To Love an Enemy: Ojiro Aran 💧💦

Summary: You never thought this is where you’ll end up. All your life, you thought you’d have a successful job at the age of 25 with a small, happy family in the making, but you ended up dropping out of high school just before you graduated and spent almost a decade killing countless of people and jumping from one man to another.

Now, as you approach your thirties, you can only watch people around you living the life you thought you would have. Even as you try to find that life for yourself, well, as close as you can get to that life at least, you're only met with failure after failure and you're honestly starting to lose hope.

Ｔｅｍｐｏｒａｒｙ Ｓｅｐａｒａｔｏｒ

Singing My Love to You: Semi Eita 💧💦

Summary: Being an idol in a girl group means you've listened to too many songs in almost every single genre known to existence, but somehow, you never really liked indie and alt music, but out of solidarity in your friendship, you decided to watch a concert of Semi Eita's single. Shiratorizawa as a whole was never a band that caught your ears, but damn does Semi's song sound catchy, and he doesn't look too bad himself.

As it turns out, your friend actually knows Semi Eita and dragged you to the backstage for a quick chat. Semi seems to have taken an interest in you and you're honestly flattered by it, if it weren't for the personal problems you have in your bucket right now, you'd probably have been more in tune with the conversation.

But how can you? When the girl group you're apart of, one you love so dearly and is the only source of your livelihood, is thinking of disbanding?

Ｔｅｍｐｏｒａｒｙ Ｓｅｐａｒａｔｏｒ

Singing My Love to You: Kunimi Akira💧💦

Summary: You'd say you're one of the lucky ones compared to your friends and groupmates. You're not forced into some personality that's completely opposite of yours, you don't have an overwhelming amount of haters, and you're generally fine with your job with a few backup plans in any case your group suddenly disbands.

But because of your generally miniscule problems compared to the other girls in your group, or anyone throughout your life for that matter, you don't exactly have a deep bond with anyone, and you wish you have someone to listen to your woes or tell you what's nagging them. You want someone to be there for you and for you to be there for them. You just hope you can make a close friend before something big finally hits you that makes you drop to your all-time low.

Singing My Love to You: Shirabu Kenjirou 💧💦

Summary: A life in the spotlight has always been something you and everyone else around you thought you'd have, you just never really considered being an idol in a girl group would be the path you ended up traversing since you don't think your voice is good enough for it.

But here you are, watching and becoming the middle person in just about any problems your group faces even though you're not the leader and with the added fact that if you're not careful, cameras would be in your face in an instant, you're starting to think a life in the spotlight is not for you.

You hope you have time to wind down, sooner or later.

Finished (in order):

[letshaikyuu]

〆𝐌𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐚 𝐈𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐤𝐢

〆𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭: hi! i can req mafia! au headcanons for shiratorizawa or inarizaki?

〆𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: hot mafia ;3

〆𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭

〆 Boss Kita Shinsuke

I can’t handle the hotness. Kita functions really well as the head of the family. Inarizaki is slowly climbing up the ladder and are close to securing their title as one of the most notorious families out there and you can thank Kita for it.

Kita knows all the strength and weaknesses of his family and knows how to fix them and/or minimize them. He has a great group of people close to him and people always comment that he’s one phenomenal leader. 

Don’t mess with him because he has all the needed skills to commit mass murder if he wants to. Even though he stays more in the shadows and his underboss is more into showing himself off, there’s no way Kita is letting you off the hook when he feels you’ve betrayed him or his family.

〆 Underboss Miya Atsumu

To some, it seems like Atsumu is the real boss of the Inarizaki family, but he’s still considered too hotheaded to effectively run the family. Deemed one of the most notorious underbosses, Atsumu is very pleased to show to others just why he has this title. 

He’s also a frequent visitor to training because he wants to see just how well the Caporegime are training the soldiers. It is not unusual for him to test out the soldiers’ strength himself and be a participant (or take the Caporegime’s job lol)

Atsumu is the only one in the family that can somewhat talk back to Kita and not have a finger sliced off, but he is still extremely respectful. Also, Kita does the paperwork and accounting because Atsumu is useless in that department 

〆 Consigliere Aran Ojiro

Kita has a lot of trust in his Consigliere and Aran never dissapoints. He is a very valuable asset to the Inarizaki family, but also an enigma to most under-ranked family members. Aran doesn’t shine light on himself often and works exclusively from the shadows

He is, what some consider, a secret weapon. He operates from the shadows and no one other mafia can get in touch with him or know a lot about this Consigliere. On the other hand, Aran has all the dirt on other families. How he does that? One can never know

People sometime’s forget his high rank and tend to act all nonchalant when they meet him out of the blue. While Aran just acts like nothing is wrong, Kita is right there to warn the lower-ranked members to watch their tongue so they don’t get beheaded 

〆 Caporegime Miya Osamu

The only set of twins in the mafia. While his brother is aiming for higher titles, Osamu feels content working with soldiers and spending most of his time in the training room. Some might say that Osamu is able to beat his twin’s ass, but Atsumu definitely packs a punch

When he walks in the training room, it feels like time stops because all the soldiers know he hates everything but discipline. They are very wary of him even though the other Caporegime is more terrifying when it comes to looks. 

He is an important asset in combat and one of the pillars holding up Inarizaki’s title and recognition. He is not unfamiliar with the usage of weaponry and is the one that taught the boss how to effectively and precisely fire a gun. Definitely someone and maybe the only one in the family that can use a sniper

〆  Caporegime Ren Oomimi

As some enemies have stated, just seeing Ren doing combat is scary and you can only imagine just how strong and ruthless he is in battle. That is spot on. Ren relies mostly on his physical strength and fists to win in battle, while Osamu focuses on the usage of guns

Ren’s training is never to be taken lightly because your soul leaves your body after every session. It’s very hard to decipher any emotion of his because he’s constantly stone-faced. 

If there’s someone that can train their soldiers into becoming one of the best in the whole mafia, then that’s Ren. He also focuses on training the soldier’s mentally as well because that is always something that needs to be taught during training

〆 Soldier Akagi Michinari

Even though his figure is not one you’d find often in the mafia, Akagi’s speed and agility that was showcased during battle is not something to think lightly of. It’s very difficult to pinpoint and capture him because he’s quick to squirm out of every hold

He also has no fear and sometimes shocks the enemy by standing directly at gunpoint with a smirk on his face. And as enemies stand there shocked, Akagi swiftly takes the gun out of their hands and the tables have suddenly turned

During training, Akagi is always the one who finishes every exercise first and does them the best. He showcases amazing physical strength, so he is currently under Ren’s wing

〆 Soldier Ginjima Hitoshi

If you were comparing him to Akagi, this soldier can’t rely on his agility or flexibility. The only thing he has mastered and knows he’s good at is using his fists. He is not under Ren’s wing because Osamu knows how to deal with his constant nagging.

No, Ginjima doesn’t do that outwardly, but Osamu knows exactly when Ginjima is just fed up with everything and needs a breather. He doesn’t give him one, but always leaves him behind to chit-chat.

If trained correctly, he can be a very valuable asset. His shooting skills aren’t the best, but his strength will soon be on par with Ren’s and there’s never fist-fitting in the mafia. Trust me.

〆 Associate Suna Rintarou

He may seem like a simple Associate, but Suna is one of the most feared people in the mafia. Why? Like Aran, he is an enigma to many and the Inarizaki family as well, but they’re aware he’s good at what he does. Gives off massive assassin vibes and definitely effective in that field

He’s also not one to think fondly of because many think Suna’s able to turn his back on you and ruin you. Not the one to lie, but he’s definitely someone who’d do that, especially if he notices the change in someone’s behavior.

Only an associate because he doesn’t want to be held down by any mafia family. He does his own thing and doesn’t want anyone dictating him what to do and when to do it. If you want his services, you play by his rules. Leave it or take it.

Pretty Close to Perfect

Rare was the morning when he could wake and just be, of course that was promptly ruined when there was the sound of pounding feet and his door being thrown open in an exuberant rush before he was jumped on by his niece. He grunted at the impacted and peeled open an eye to stare at her excited aloof expression.

“Today’s the day!” she declared excitedly.

“Hn?” he grunted as he shifted, she slid onto his lap, quivering in excitement and he yawned as he stretched. “Aren’t you supposed to wake your parents?”

“Papa said to come get you,” she announced gleefully excited now.

“Of course he would,” Itachi sighed as he rubbed his eyes. He looked over at the empty spot beside him before he pushed his niece off his lap onto the empty futon, she squealed, and he smiled. Itachi and Izumi had never had children, she had perished bearing their first, and their first had died soon after; a disease in the blood. He had never remarried, instead he had lived with his brother and his brother’s wife, helping out with their daughter.

“Come on!” Sarada squealed excitedly, clambering behind him and shoving him up.

“Have you no respect for your Hokage!?” he sputtered at his niece’s manhandling.

“Come on!” she whined, he surrendered to being dragged out by his niece, and stumbling a bit, she grinned as she skidded into their dining room, taking a seat at the table just as her mother served their breakfasts.

“Morning Itachi,” Sakura smiled at him.

Sasuke smiled a bit at him too as he sat.

“Good morning Sakura.” He greeted, tapping his brother’s brow as he sat.

“Today’s the day!” Sarada sang as she squirmed.

“Aa,” he and Sasuke nodded.

“You sicced a menace on me,” Itachi yawned.

“She woke us up two hours ago in excitement,” Sasuke said.

“Kami, where does she get the exuberance?” Itachi wondered as he accepted a serving of eggs and bacon. Sasuke tilted his head in his wife’s direction as answer which had Itachi chuckling.

“You promised!” Sarada accused them.

“Yes, we did, eat your breakfast so we can go,” Sasuke said.

“Can we take Shisui too!?” Sarada asked excitedly.

“Of course, we’ll stop by his house and wake him,” Itachi grinned at the prospect. Shisui was a forever bachelor with a soft spot for Sarada, however, being rudely leapt on to wake up was always an entertaining endeavor with Shisui because the shinobi always reacted as if he had been stabbed.

“Yay!” the five year old threw her hands up in glee and triumph.

“Eat up,” Sasuke said to her.

Sarada enthusiastically shoveled her food in her mouth. Itachi had found much to have changed in the years since his Clan’s plots for a coup. Tentative negotiations between the Fourth and his father had saved their village for certain, rescuing their Clan from a civil war or a massacre. And though the Second Hokage’s hatred tainted much of how the village viewed them, things had gotten better under the Fourth Hokage. Even now, he, the Sixth Hokage, had been nominated the position by a Senju, changing all the village’s views on the Uchiha. He was humbled and honored at the position title, though he found it left him with little time to pursue a life outside of the Hokage office.

Today though was very different.

Today he had cleared from Hokage duties to spend it with his family, his little brother, sister-in-law, and niece; if they persuaded Shisui along then he’d spend a day with his best friend too. Which would be a nice reprieve from the demands of being Hokage.

They were going to the zoo for Sarada’s birthday; though it was a month late, but this was the first time they were all here. Sasuke had been on a long mission gathering intel on the Ōtsutsuki, and Sakura had been handing a plague outbreak in Suna. So today was a very special day for his niece, he knew that as he watched the five year old quiver in her excitement; he wouldn’t be surprised if she activated her Sharingan in her excitement.

“Mom!”

“Yes darling?”

“I want a baby brother,” Sarada announced promptly. “For my birthday gift!”

“Oh?”

“Yeah! Boruto got Hima! I want a baby brother!” She decided. “And Shikadai got Chika! But I don’t want a baby sister, I want a baby brother.”

Itachi laughed at the bewildered look her parents had.

“Sarada, it… takes a lot of time,” Sakura started.

“We’ll see,” was all his brother said.

“I want a little brother for my birthday!” Sarada persisted.

Itachi laughed even harder at his brother’s and Sakura’s embarrassed expressions.

“We’ll see what we can do,” Sasuke offered tightly. That seemed to pacify his niece as they finished breakfast and he scooped Sarada up onto his shoulders. Getting ready was a quick task, Sarada was impatient though, which had him teasing her, as he leaned heavily on the pushig five year old, who was insistent about getting Shisui for their expedition to the zoo.

“Come on!” she whined.

“Gravity’s increasing,” he informed her.

“No it’s not Uncle!” she whined.

“Yes it, same thing happen just last week,” he insisted.

“You crazy Uncle!” she announced, he laughed as she darted out from behind him, her shoving ceasing and leapt at her father, who caught her with ease with his one arm. “Papa! Uncle’s being weird again.”

“Uncle’s always weird,” Sasuke announced.

“And Sakura’s always annoying,” Itachi chided his baby brother who gave him a bland look.

“I am not annoying!” Sakura gasped, dramatically clutching her heart in offense.

“Aa, you are,” Sasuke informed his wife.

“Well, you’re always a teme,” Sakura teased as she walked over, her arm looped with Itachi’s. “Itachi, your brother’s bullying me,” she pleaded.

“The fool,” Itachi mocked.

“I know!”

“Let’s go!” Sarada grinned, she clambered up to her father’s shoulders, hugging Sasuke’s head. His little brother, the most powerful and dangerous Uchiha sired since Madara, and a revered shinobi in the ANBU ranks, only rivaled by Uzumaki Naruto in terms of power and ability, was currently sporting an enthusiastic five year old with ease. Nothing about his little brother screamed dangerous right then.

“We’re coming sweetheart,” Sakura chuckled as she walked over to them, her hand entwining fingers with Sasuke. Itachi found everything about his brother and Sakura to be a soft sweet match though they didn’t display much affection.

“To Shisui! Then the Zoo!” Sarada grinned.

“And you must jump on Shisui,” Sasuke instructed.

“Let’s hope he doesn’t have a hang over again,” Sakura chuckled.

“It was a celebration!” Itachi defended.

“Sure, it was,” Sakura waved him off with a smile. He chuckled a bit as they wound their way through the Uchiha district to Shisui’s house. It was nearest to the village, and always open; Shisui reasoned only a fool would attack him, so he left the house open as an invite. Sarada leapt off Sasuke, and ran into Shisui’s house, happy and excited.

“Should we…?” Sakura started.

A shrill scream with manic laughter erupted from the house with a mighty crash.

“Never mind,” Sakura sighed leaning on Sasuke. Itachi watched as Sasuke’s only hand fully twined with Sakura’s and again thought it sweet that his little brother was so in love with his wife. Itachi remembered feeling that love for Izumi, and still feeling it, as he had a sharp pang remembering his wife and child, but was happy to be with his family still.

Itachi chuckled, as there was a commotion and Sarada came skipping out with a haggard Shisui behind her.

“Your spawn is a diabolical little creature!” Shisui informed Sasuke.

“She gets it from her father,” Sakura stated.

“No,” Sasuke shook his head vehemently at that declaration.

“Papa! Uncle Shisui is coming with us!” Sarada grinned. Itachi laughed as his friend waved them off to get ready for the outing, reappearing a few moments later fully dressed and Uchiha composure restored.

“Oi, demon spawn!” Shisui addressed Sarada.

“Today’s the day!”

“Of course it is! So what’d you ask for demon spawn!?” Shisui asked catching Sarada as she jumped from her father’s shoulder’s towards Shisui. She laughed when Shisui caught her by the ankle and dangled her.

“Shisui! You should be gentler with children!” Itachi chided, not that it mattered as Sarada was clambering up and perched on Shisui’s shoulders.

“She doesn’t mind,” Sakura teased.

“Monkey,” Sasuke announced to them, which had them laughing as Sarada fell back against Shisui’s back, giggling manically. Shisui kept a firm grasp of Sarada’s ankles though so he didn’t loose the girl.

“I want a baby brother!” she said hoisting herself back up and burying her hands in Shisui’s hair.

“Oh?”

“Yeah! Papa and Mama said they’d do it!”

“Oh I’m sure they did,” Shisui grinned lewdly as he waggled his eye brows.

“Shisui!” Sakura barked, turning red as she glared at him. Itachi laughed though seeing his little brother’s look of serious contemplation at Sarada’s demand.

“What? I’m sure you will do it, a lot,” Shisui chuckled.

Itachi wacked his cousin’s shoulder before Sakura made a crater out of him. “Be polite,” he chided.

“Buzz kill.”

“Oh look, dango,” Itachi said spotting the dango stand, Sarada leapt from Shisui and into his arms, which had him chuckling. They bought some for himself, Sakura and Sarada before they continued their quest to the zoo. Most of the villagers bowed at him, because he was their Hokage, but for the most part they didn’t attract notice until they made it to the zoo where Kisame was waiting for them.

“Kisame!” Sarada grinned as she ran from his arms straight for the giant shinobi.

“Heyya squirt,” Kisame greeted, as he caught Sarada with his leg, and lifted her up, she giggled as she hung off Kisame’s leg like a little money.

“Guess what!?” she grinned as she climbed all the way up to Kisame’s shoulders.

“I don’t know,what?” he asked. Itachi knew that Kisame was always bemused by Sarada, because she; unlike most children who fled on sight of seeing him, always ran towards him fearlessly. He also knew Kisame had a soft spot for his niece because of her innocent outlook at everything; that’s what came with being a child though.

“Mama and Papa are going to get me a baby brother!” Sarada announced.

“Sarada!” Sakura shrieked, her face completely red at the announcement.

“Is that so?” Kisame asked, amused.

“Yes! They promised!” she grinned.

“At least you two make a good brat unlike most the others,” Kisame decided approvingly.

“Hn,” Sasuke shrugged.

Itachi laughed a bit more as he caught his niece, and they walked in.

“To the tigers!” Sarada announced with triumphant glee.

“I thought you wanted to see the sharks first,” Kisame mused.

“Why would we need to see the sharks first when we have you?” Shisui teased.

Itachi watched the bickering between his best friend and his other friend unfold and sighed in amusement. This was the perfect life, he decided. He was so happy he had gone to the Fourth rather than listening to Danzō and the Third about massacring his Clan to restore balance. Why, he’d even dare to say his parents would be proud of the lives they had here. Though Fugaku and Mikoto wouldn’t ever know it, they had perished in the Fifth Great Shinobi War defending the village against Orochimaru.

“Can I name my baby brother?” Sarada demanded, rousing him from his thoughts.

“That’s not…”

“I want to name him Rasengan!”

“No.” Sasuke immediately stated, which had Itachi snickering as Shisui exploded with laughter.

“But Uncle Naruto said to tell you it’s a good name for a baby brother!” Sarada persisted.

“No.”

“Fine,” she pouted.

“Sarada, first you have to have a baby brother before you can name it,” Shisui informed her.

“But!”

“It’s not like a ninken,” he promised.

“You two might want to hurry up on making the baby brother, she doesn’t seem inclined to let this go,” Kisame commented. Itachi watched as Sasuke pulled his wife into his chest so she could hide her red face, and he chuckled.

“Can we please stop asking for the little brother!?” Sakura pleaded.

“But mama! I must have a little brother, Shikadai’s annoying and Boruto’s a dobe!” she whined.

“Never say that!” Sasuke pleaded.

Itachi laughed harder as he and Shisui propped each other up.

“But Boruto is a dobe!” Sarada persisted.

“He means annoying, Sarada,” Itachi laughed.

“But Shikadai’s very annoying,” Sarada declared.

Sasuke groaned, and Sakura giggled, and he was howling with laughter; the Uchiha composure always broke when it came at the expense of Sasuke being embarrassed by his daughter. Sasuke glared at him and Shisui.

[lerrryyyyy]

Were you ever planning on doing more with your Naruto VIXX AU? Could you tell us more about it, even if you weren't? :)

Hi! I’m sorry for the late reply. I only found the time to sit down and write this huhu QuQ But, to answer your question, I actually do have a plot for it. To be honest, this all stemmed from a small TaekBin plot I thought of, and it kind of just spiralled into giving everyone roles haha. Idk if you’ll be interested in that though (I can tell you about that too if you want haha), but I can definitely tell a bit about all the characters.

Okay so let’s start with Hakyeon. Hakyeon originally came from an ordinary civilian village. He never really considered being a shinobi until a group of them came to his village and fought off rogues that tried to wreak havoc there. Since then, Hakyeon became determined to learn to protect people just like them. He chooses to go to Konoha because it’s where the shinobis that protected them came from. Although he starts training later than the expected age for aspiring ninjas to start, Hakyeon’s hard work eventually pays off and he becomes one of the most respected shinobis around. In the current storyline, he’s a jounin with his own genin team. [Also, I’ve always thought of the Land of Fire as a pretty big territory, so it would probably have a lot of civilian villages. I feel like Hakyeon comes from one of those, so it’s only logical that he chooses Konoha to go to - especially coz it one of the renowned hidden villages].

I’m gonna just go by age so next is Taekwoon. Taekwoon comes from a clan known for the use of ninja felines as companions, much like the Inuzuka clan. Each one has a partner that can grow to the size of lions (though they’re still basically cats – just large sized). Taekwoon’s partner is a black fluffy cat named Leo (I’m very creative) who he dotes on a lot. Taekwoon had always known that he was going to follow the path expected of him, which is to be a shinobi. He climbs the ranks pretty quickly and eventually gains reputation for being one of the most skilled shinobis around. In the current storyline, he’s ANBU; his mask is a cat. [I don’t have a specific reason as to why I chose Konoha for Taekwoon except that it’s the village I pictured him in and I just really wanted him there haha… also I wanted his clan to be one of the renowned in the village alongside the other clans].

Next is Jaehwan. Although he currently lives in Konoha, he originally lived in Kumogakure. Jaehwan isn’t a medic-nin, but he is versed in some medical jutsus because of his affinity with using poisons. Jaehwan has extensive knowledge about plant life that makes him adept in using them. However, gathering diverse plants is so exhausting in a place like Kumo due to the climate and the location of their village. That’s why, on a mission that leads them to Konoha, Jaehwan basically falls in love with the climate and the number of plants he can use there, so he asks special permission to stay. He’s currently a chuunin but is actually skilled enough to become a jounin. However, Jaehwan is pretty content about his rank so he doesn’t really bother trying to be promoted. [I mostly chose Kumo for Jaehwan because the elemental jutsus associated with it - lightning, water, air - are the ones I can imagine Jaehwan specialising in]

Then there’s Wonshik. Wonshik is one of the shinobis in charge of Suna’s borders. He’s one of the Kazekage’s most trusted people and one of the best in keeping watch of the borders. Many think Wonshik became in charge of the borders due to his strength, but, unbeknownst to them, Wonshik actually has a clever mind when it comes to strategizing the best way to keep the village safe. Ever since he was assigned there, Suna has become a lot harder to infiltrate. He is currently a jounin and practically leads the teams that are in charge of Suna’s protection. [I always thought that being in charge of a village’s border patrol would suit Wonshik a lot, so I placed him in Suna - the village with one of the best fortifications around.]

Next is Hongbin. Hongbin lives a kind of sheltered life in Takigakure - having only a few opportunities to actually leave the village for missions. He learns most of what happens outside through reports and books. He possesses a bloodline that gives him the ability to have an understanding with different animals - which is rather useful for both tracking and actual battles. He is also quite versed with some medical jutsus but he is not trained to specifically be a medic-nin. Although Hongbin’s skills may be considered on the level of a jounin, he doesn’t get much opportunity to show his strength to its fullest, which is why he’s still a chuunin. [Takigakure isn’t one of the renowned hidden villages, but they’re known to produce strong jonin and they’ve never been successfully invaded. I feel like that reflected Hongbin in some way - he may not seem like a strong shinobi, but he actually hides a formidable strength.]

And lastly, Sanghyuk. Sanghyuk is from Konoha. Although he isn’t from any esteemed clans he is actually considered a prodigy. It doesn’t show during his younger years though as he didn’t have much drive to actually pursue being a shinobi. However, anyone that had the opportunity to assess him always noticed Sanghyuk’s ability to pick up skills and knowledge so quickly and execute them with relative ease. It is said that if he had been more serious when he was younger, he would’ve already made jounin at the age of thirteen. Sanghyuk eventually becomes more serious about his career as a shinobi after witnessing something horrendous during a mission. He is currently a part of ANBU; his mask is a fox. [Although Sanghyuk could probably be placed in other villages, I just honestly think that Konoha is the best choice for him.]

That’s some of the basic info I did for them so far OvO
