Oh yeah, right next to the Iruka dolphin, I drew what I thought Kakashi's mom could look like but then I didn't like how I couldn't recreate her hair and I kept debating about her existence until I drew the dolphin. So...maybe?

[cloudabserk]

if you feed naruto. then he’ll know you love him

[stmnn]

fav Naruto ship?

well...

Kakairu were originally favorites..I don't draw them much, but I adore them with all my heart. If we talk about others, for example Obito, then this is definitely Obirin, then Obikaka and/or Tobidei will go a little lower. I love Kakayama too. Hashimada. Kakuhida. Kakagui. Ohh.. There's so many good ships... I can't choose..

I love all of them, but i do have favourites like Kakairu, Obirin and Kakuhida

Anbu Kakairu 📸

which one should I draw next time?

[borealwrites]

Whenever there was a storm, Iruka remembers his parents hiding him away. The barrier seals that cover his windows dull the thunder into a low rumble, like how he remembers the sea, and all he can see through the glass is an inky darkness. Those seals are the first ones they teach him, and they tell him to always have them on hand.

When he’s a little older, he asks why he can’t watch the storm like his friends. They tell him that around when he was born, there was a terrible storm that lasted for weeks. In desperation, his grandfather prayed to the storm gods, offering up his newly born grandson as a sacrifice if they would make them stop. And the storms stopped. Unwilling to let such a fate befall their child, his parents took him and fled to Konoha.

Iruka isn’t sure he believes in storm gods, but he loves his parents. Then the kyuubi comes, and suddenly gods don’t seem so fake anymore. So he covers his room at the orphanage and then his apartment with wards, and bites back the defensiveness when Mizuki makes fun of him. It isn’t the thunder and lightning he’s afraid of, it’s what they could bring.

When storms are coming, he can feel his skin crawl, like someone is watching him. Iruka strengthens the wards on his apartment and doesn’t take missions, instead hiding away in the Hokage Tower, where nobody can touch him. Some storms make it feel like someone if pounding at his barriers. On those nights he tucks himself into the corner of his apartment, as far from his windows as he can, and huddles under a blanket, wishing he weren’t so alone.

But Iruka cannot outrun and avoid storms forever. There’s a stillness in the air when he’s assigned a mission with Hatake Kakashi that he cannot refuse. Overhead the clouds are full and heavy with rain, and there’s a tinge of ozone that sets Iruka’s nerves on edge. Thunder rumbles in the distant sky when they find the enemy’s trail, and the clouds burst upon first clash.

It takes every bit of Iruka’s skill to keep from being overwhelmed. The enemy is too strong, and his heart too soft. All the warnings his parents repeated tug at him, and he’s too distracted.

Lightning strikes the tree that Iruka’s opponent is crouched in, close enough he can feel the heat. The air is saturated with enough chakra that Iruka feels drunk off it, even as it makes his hair stand on end. Blinking to clear the searing light from his eyes, Iruka chokes on a gasp.

Before him stands Kakashi, his arm buried in the chest of the now very crispy enemy ninja, sparks of electricity arcing almost lazily across his body. With a flick of his wrist Kakashi’s arm is free, and he glares down at the corpse. Something feels wrong, and while Iruka’s common sense screams at him to move, he feels rooted to the spot. Two eyes, one storm cloud grey and the other heat lightning red, lock onto his.

Kakashi’s hand, the one that had just killed a man, cups Iruka’s cheek. Once, while experimenting with seals, Iruka had shocked himself with a raiton based seal. It had hurt, and left his arm numb for two days. The merest brush of Kakashi’s fingers brings the same feelings for half a second before subsiding into a strange tingling sensation.

“I can finally touch you, my Iruka, my bride,” Kakashi’s voice was a low growl, an almost predatory sound that made Iruka jerk back. As soon as he broke contact with Kakashi, it seemed like all of Iruka’s strength left him. Like a puppet with cut strings he collapsed, and was only saved by Kakashi gathering him into his arms.

“Rest, Iruka. I’ll take care of everything else,” Kakashi cooed, and Iruka found himself helpless to resist. His last thought before he sank into unconsciousness was if his parents would be disappointed he didn’t fight harder.

yeah so 1 week left, right?

Prompt 1 - I wanted to do Meet Cute (not that cute but as a first meeting I hope it qualifies)

Oh God I wanted to do this in time but this semester I am fucking constantly running around clinics and I love it so much but I am always just so tired

It's been a LONG time since I drew ~them~ so watch me fuck up Kakashi's hair less and less with each entry as the magic comes back to my hand lol

@kakairu-rocks thank you so much for the event

[introspectivememories]

ahh yes, the naruto experience™

[tendercrysp]

I'm not arting like I want & I'm about to cry over it in a hot second. Also, please, if you guys are also seeing Iruka in a specific suit too, I NEED TO KNOW WHERE IT'S COMING FROM. Keep the mini trend alive while I fight for my life 😭

"How does a week of teaching at the academy sound?"

........

Like a task best suited for Iruka-sensei.

Iruka Shisui Friendship Circle

“You shouldn’t have done that,” Shisui rasps out. 

“What?” It comes out snappier than he means it too, but he thinks he can be forgiven since it’s highly likely he’s about to be executed one way or another. 

Shisui finally looks up from his knees, and Iruka realizes it’s the first time he’s gotten a good look at his face since this mess began. He wears his hitai-ate the traditional way across his forehead. His hair is dark like most Uchiha, short and shaggy as it curls around his ears. His dark eyes bore into Iruka’s, searching for something, but whatever it is, Iruka can’t give it to him. 

“I said, you shouldn’t have done that.” 

“And why the hell not?” Anger rises swiftly, and Iruka latches onto it. Anger is easier than despair. Anger sets him in motion. 

“Don’t you get it,” Shisui asks, incredulously. “Danzo is probably with the Hokage as we speak, spinning some bullshit story that’ll get us tried for treason and executed.” He laughs then, and it’s the most joyless sound Iruka has ever heard in his life.

I have come to a realisation why I don't like Boruto:Next Gen. It isn't quite the turn they have decided, but it focuses more on the handling of Naruto and his actions as a father. I truly, and utterly believe, that this is what turned me off from the show, albeit some storylines of the show is iffy to me its fine.

Naruto, in my whole opinion, would try to emulate Iruka Umino. He would try to be there for his son, for his failings and his successes even before and after as Hokage. This kid would become Hokage and immediately go to Iruka and ask how to balance work and private so he can be there for his son, he might go to Kakashi as well but let's be honestly does he have a life outside of his work as a ninja? Anyways.

This is what got me off of the show. I couldn't watch Naruto as a parent of Boruto because I don't think he would be handling it like that. He would take his son out after forcing him to clean the faces for ramen or burgers to get him to speak up about it. He would try to emulate the father-figure Iruka was to him in his early life, and he would be the same with Himawari.

That is my realisation. I know that if Naruto parented differently, there would or could be bigger changes in Boruto Canon. I am fine with cherry picking what I like from it, but Naruto being an absent parent is not what I see for him.

If I have anything wrong, do tell me, I will like to be stand corrected over this :)

This is just 300 words of Asuma re-evaluating his entire life after learning Iruka is younger than he thought. Rip to him we've all been there

---

Title/Link: He's Feeling 22 Rating: Gen Pairing: Asuma & Iruka Additional Tags: Humour, Fluff, Big Brother Sarutobi Asuma, me having fun with Iruka's databook entries Word Count: 368 [I think this is the shortest thing I've ever done lol]

Summary/Preview:

Arm slung over Iruka's shoulder, Asuma asks, "Hey, so, when is your birthday anyway?"

"May," Iruka responds, looking confused. "Why?"

"Hmmm. So you're a year younger than Kakashi huh...."

Iruka blinks very - very - slowly at him. "Asuma," he says, equally slow, "I'm twenty-two."
