Naruto and Sasuke are so transgenderable imo

It’s always “revenge won’t give you back what you lost” and “murder is wrong” and never how was the bloody violent revenge the bloody violent revenge looked fun was it fun

It's late at night, and there's a knock at Iruka's door. Standing on the other side is Sasuke, with Sarada in his arm. She's older now, as some time has passed. She's about a year old now.

He's come to visit. And to show Iruka something.

Even though it's like.... 11:54 PM.

Sasuke looked at the clock. Then at the door. Then... back at the clock.

It was seven minutes past six.

He frowned. Itachi should have been here by now. But he was seven minutes late and, more importantly, not here. What had happened? Why was he late? Had someone decided to take out their misplaced anger on him? Accosted him in the street? Had some enemy attacked him? The possibilities were endless.

Eight minutes.

Nine minutes.

Ten.

If Itachi had a propensity for being late, maybe this would have been fine. But he wasn't. He always made it home either early or on time. Now he was ten minutes late? Something had to be wrong.

Sasuke yanked open the door, but immediately went to the roof. After casting a quick glance around and not seeing a brother quickly making his way home, his hands formed quick signs and he summoned Garuda. Let the hawk search for him from the sky while Sasuke searched from the ground.

Jumping down, Sasuke activated his Sharingan and scanned the crowds and homes he passed by as he ran through the village. He would not stop until Itachi was found.

It's in a small glass box Sasuke's holding, filled with the leaves, dirt, and rocks from where Sasuke found it, as well. "It eats plants," Sasuke tells him, pointing out the spindly hard-shelled creature standing on one of the rocks in the enclosure. It seemed to have evolved from a stickbug, would be Sasuke's guess.

This is presented to Shino.

Sarada is still crying every night. Sasuke is tired. He arrives at Iruka's office doorstep one day, baby tucked against his one arm. "I need help," he says. He looks like a bit of a mess. "She won't sleep through the night." // @irukasenseii

He was just reading. However, apparently everything normal Sasuke did, Deidara found awkward or intimidating. He knows it was because they had previously been enemies, but... Deidara has to get over it.

So Sasuke ignores it. He has a list, he says. Obviously, Sasuke wants to say back, but he dosn't, knowing it would put Deidara on edge even if there was no bite to his tone.

Yet, an eyebrow still arches at the polyester or silk clothing comment. What is this child, a prince? Why is Deidara's child so sensitive? But fine, it's fine. He can only listen, staring and blinking at the rest of it. He can't touch his food... okay. The shouting about the humidifier takes him aback, but Sasuke deals with it calmly, not saying a word. He knows Deidara is emotional and that... there's likely more issues Ame has.

He reads the same books over and over again, apparently. So there's that. The list has a back. He might as well hand over the list, Sasuke's not going to bother memorizing it and getting something wrong; it would apparently be a fatal error.

That's it.

That's a lot. Sasuke's quiet for a moment. He doesn't understand the thing with the plush, but he knows Sarada's attached to the things he's given her, so it makes a little sense. "We can go back to the house. You and I can. We'll ask someone to watch over the children." Someone with patience. Iruka, maybe. "It's not a good idea to bring them."

He pauses. Then adds, "What about you. Don't you want anything."

Deidara found Sasuke in the main room. He did not know why seeing the Uchiha so...easygoing, but it did. Due to that, he paused and stood awkwardly in place until Sasuke acknowledged him. Once he did, the blonde cleared his throat. "I have a list, hn." He said, as if he was obvious enough by the list in his hands.

Ignoring that, he stared down at the paper and started to read: "I want to start by saying Ame is going to need new clothes. Not cotton, either polyester or silk. He's... sensitive." Deidara absent-mindedly rubbed a hand over his stomach.

"Next: for food. He doesn't like eating anything he has to touch, so no sandwiches. He loves salads and soups. And eggs. Nothing with sugar. He hates sweets. A humidifier! He needs a humidifier in his bedroom when he sleeps!" Deidara could only imagine how hard it must've been for his son to sleep with his weak lungs, and it made him a little angry despite the fact that it wasn't Sasuke's fault. How was he to know? So, he took a breath to calm himself.

"Books...so many books. I'll ask Ame to write a list. He has all his books memorized, hn. Ummm...he has sensitive skin, so a hypoallergenic body wash and shampoo," He flipped over the list. Yes, it was filled on the back, too. "And...Blue-Blu! Oh my gosh, Blue-Blu. Is there anyway you can get back to our old house? There's a plush dog Ame has. It's the only toy he has. He got it when--" Deidara unexpectedly choked up as the bad memories came back and shook his head.

"Nevermind. He just needs that plush. He loves it so much, hn. And that's it--" For now. But he didn't want to say that. That was a lot, and he didn't want to exhaust Sasuke's generosity. Though, being in his house around him and his daughter may be doing him no favours. But once Deidara could get himself and Ame situated, Sasuke wouldn't have to deal with them as they kept to their side of the house.

After the war, Sasuke spent a lot of time traveling throughout various lands, stopping at whatever village he might pass through to buy supplies. He was currently visiting a village, he didn't know the name, that he'd never been to before. Stopped at a fruit store, he pointed at the apples. "Five of these, thank you." They were loaded into a bag, and Sasuke's hand stretched out to take them, when he paused, hand hovering in the air.

A familiar chakra signature.

Frowning, he took the bag, tossed some money at the vendor, and was off in that direction, being as hidden as possible (which was quite hidden) as he nearly caught up to confirm who it was.

Well, well, well. Deidara of the Akatsuki. Formerly. Alone, unguarded. Sasuke smirked. This could be fun. He watched Deidara walk down a street. Tucking his bag into his pack, he used Kamui to teleport to a place Deidara would be walking by in a few seconds.

So, Deidara would find Sasuke leaning against the wall, casually, arms folded, looking at him. "Hey," he'd say, smirking. "Long time, no see."

Itachi draws his hands back, promptly noticing Sasuke's wince. Sasuke knows that, since Itachi touched the stump in the first place, he had no idea it would hurt -- which means he still doesn't know why Sasuke winced. Internally, Sasuke debates telling him. Is it worth explaining. He finally settles on not saying anything, as too much time has passed. It's fine. Itachi will be fine.

So as he leans back into his brother, he's able to catch the tiny breath that's let out. He doesn't know it's a sigh of relief -- how could he? But he lets out his own exhale because it's nice to soak up the comfort of his elder brother's closeness.

Eyebrows knit at the comment about borrowing one of Itachi's arms. Sasuke takes him quite seriously, considering Itachi was ready to give him his eyes. "I want you to stay intact and alive. You deserve it." That's when he reaches out, his own hand placed atop Itachi's. Then the dough in the oven comment sinks in, and Sasuke realizes he's joking. Eyes narrow, but he doesn't comment. Itachi is fine the way he is. Not like dough that hasn't risen. Whatever that means.

"Hn," Sasuke responds at the final joke. "If I'm taller, maybe people will twice about threatening you if I am there." Not that... he knows people will threaten Itachi, but there is always a chance.

ㅤOkay, okay... slower then. Respect the wild cat. Don't rush, even if the intention was good. Promptly realizing that his touch was not entirely welcome or, at the very least, it provoked a lot of ambivalent feelings, Itachi says a quiet but sincere, «I'm sorry,» and brings his hands away. Leaves them on his lap instead, semi entertained with the fabric of the bed covers underneath. It's all right. They have all the time in the world.

ㅤSilence stretches on and it doesn't completely worry him, because Sasuke has not fled the bed yet nor has attempted to hop out of the bedroom window altogether - and the elder brother will gladly take every single small victory that he can get. Seems like his patience is rewarded then, eventually, as his brother tentatively snuggles back into him, and Itachi must admit he just released a very tiny breath he wasn't aware he'd been holding in. Relief.

ㅤ«I would let you have one of mine, but that might ruin your whole aesthetic. Alas, I'm much paler and my muscles are more like dough that was put in the oven but it never really grew.» Lighthearted humor should be okay, right? Not elicit any more fight-or-flight responses? It's no lie, anyway. Praise the gods and, lost arms aside, Sasuke is a perfectly healthy young man. Speaking of which, another cue for another terrible joke. «In fact, if one day you end up being taller than me, I will be equal parts very proud and very upset.»

Sasuke woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, an ache in his chest, and a throbbing in his head. He was in an inn somewhere close to Kirigakure, on... an interesting little detour.

He had heard Suigetsu was living in Kiri now, having decided not to return to Orochimaru and, honestly, Sasuke had been relieved to hear it. But it didn't assuage his guilt over abandoning Taka, or his feeling that he simply should have done more, and should really visit them more often.

Relationships were difficult when, throughout your life, most of them were built upon unrealistic expectations thrust upon you. Sasuke didn't quite know how to show how much he cared about them still, didn't exactly feel comfortable expressing it.

Which was why he hadn't simply opened a portal right to Suigetsu and walked right up to him. No, instead he was staying at an inn nearby. Except now he was having nightmares about it. Stupid nightmares.

So Sasuke wrenched himself out of bed, slipped on his vest and his cloak, and after tidying up a bit (but he still looked pretty bad), decided now was as good a time as ever.

Suigetsu would get a rather interesting visitor tonight.
