You guys don’t understand how hard I’m fighting for my life trying to find attractive Boruto Era pictures of some of these people 😂😭

[everykillerbee]

[tippytoes112]

guys i just looked through all the choukarui content in like 48 hours and honestly that’s a shame that there isn’t anymore so i’m just gonna write some fanfiction myself at this point

[dayeongi]

Idols WIP

[full-frontal-lotus]

lemme put forth both Choji and Metal 🧡

Metal Lee

Sexuality Headcanon: Straight (Honestly, it depends on the story and the author.)

Gender Headcanon: Cis Male

A ship I have with said character: Hebiichigo / Metal is my OTP, but I also super love Namida / Metal. (I also ship Team 5 in all combinations, but that's a given.)

A BROTP I have with said character: Love Team 5 together, but Mitsuki and Metal have a potential I feel was set up in the show and then forgotten about. I'd love to see them get along.

I also super want him to meet Yurui, but that's my bias talking.

A NOTP I have with said character: I don't think I have one for Metal. He's got such a small fandom, I don't see enough combinations to have strong feelings on them.

A random headcanon: He has started and dropped a lot of hobbies -- he just loves training more than anything, so nothing's stuck.

General Opinion over said character: He's my precious Metal and he deserves better in every way. It was a shame canon didn't know what to do with him, so they kind of just made him a joke character. I think that's tragic. He was shown in the early series as very capable and very strong, but that was just kind of... forgotten about? Maybe intentionally so? I'm not sure, but that's what I'm here for. If canon won't do him justice, I will. <3

0-0-0

Choji

Sexuality Headcanon: Ace / Demi

Gender Headcanon: Cis Male

A ship I have with said character: NejiCho (I actually have a half-written fanfic about it; I need to get back to it.)

A BROTP I have with said character: Shikamaru and Choji - it's a cop out, but I just love these two together and it is a darn shame they forgot about it in Boruto. I love that Shikamaru and Naruto are friends and coworkers, sure, but where is Choji.

A NOTP I have with said character: Again, I don't really have a NOTP for Choji. He's one of those characters that would probably fit in with anyone; he can be loving to anyone.

A random headcanon: He's semi-retired; he is still a registered shinobi and stays in shape so he can be mobilized if needed and keep track of ChoCho's training, but if left to his own devices, he's mostly focused on the day-to-day politics and admin of his clan.

General Opinion over said character: I love Choji and he is underrated; he is a gentle soul in a violent world and I really like that he's shown to be both capable and very caring. If anyone deserved a peaceful ending in Boruto, it was Choji.

Character Ask Meme

[bitchnojutsu]

karui supports the hobby/habit because she likes having choji’s personality show through his personal touches around the house (she is Not one of those wives who makes everything in the house sad greige and forces her husband to put all of His Things in one designated spot) and also he brings home really cool stuff most of the time.

she does have to have a talk with him at one point though because sometimes one man’s trash is simply trash and there’s no way around that, no treasure to be found no matter what man picks it up, especially if her man picks it up, and it was put on the side of the road for a reason, you should have left it there! now it has to go on the side of OUR road! and she watches at the window while he sadly lugs it to the street and she gets on ninja ebay to find one in better condition for him

choji appreciation. i get the feeling he’s that friend that’s always doing/finding/buying cool/odd things but with his full chest. low impulse control but he follows through on the plans, you know? those random afternoon projects get finished, but then he just has random stuff. he puts a koi pond in the back yard. he finds an old billiards table on the side of the road and refinishes it and sticks it in his living room. of course he has a cinema style popcorn machine in his kitchen. why wouldn’t he?

BORUTO-VERSE RE-IMAGINING

Fourth War Casualties

New Konoha

Hello Boruto fandom, Never once watched Boruto, never even got past the Kazekage Rescue Arc, personally I think Ikemoto is a bit off his rocker because- how in the world did you manage to make this world even MORE sexist but y'know

so I'm having fun with what i would have liked to see in the next gen, as an original fan, and I am desperately trying to get rid of the ninja brainworms that have gripped me before workflow picks back up. (I'm actually going crazy on Milanotes)

I did some other rough brainstorming in the past and this is kinda building off that: Boruto Hinata

Thoughts:

It strikes me as really odd, for how catastrophic and world-ending the fourth war was, that there were seemingly no major repercussions or casualties. That's just not realistic to me. More than one main character should've died. It gives more emotional weight to someone like Kiba, who doesn't have any big role beyond the War, and thus gives his character a purpose that isn't just "Im gonna be Hokage #57"

The front lines weren't the only places being targeted, villages and safe houses were under siege, resulting in countless civilian, genin, and chunin deaths.

Mei stays Mizukage instead of that spineless, random guy.

I have some ideas for the injuries that the "crippling wounds" category sustains, but it's important to mention that "crippling" only means "not fit for active shinobi duty" since that's the bread and butter job of ninja society, so the severity of the injuries varies greatly.

I'm also aware that medical ninjutsu is like a magic eraser when it comes to stuff like that, but I rationalize that medics were more concerned about helping their patients survive rather than making sure their patients will be able to fully recover. Everyone in the injured category went too long without the proper surgery because they wanted civilians and lower ranks to have access first. Even then, the medical team was stretched extremely thin, so- consequences.

Retired: again, in context of "retired from shinobi duty". Majority still have active jobs. Alongside T&I, Ino still runs her flower shop; Tenten sets up a weapons shop right next to it; Shizune is the volunteer hospital head, meaning she doesn't get paid much, and tutors/helps/does paperwork (Sakura is a top medic who occasionally visits for emergencies- she's mostly busy with medical-related missions); Kurenai and The Boys™ teach at the academy; Karui's teammate, Omoi, moved with her to Konoha and he is now the best babysitter in town- though really he mostly looks after Chōchō and Shikadai when their parents are busy. He lives with Karui and her family, they're like siblings.

Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon were all trained under Naruto during the blank period. However, Moegi was the only one able to reach her full potential because she managed to escape the War with no major wounds. She is now currently stronger than Canon Konohamaru Sensei was.

Marriages:

Nara Shikamaru & Nara Temari

Akimichi Choji & Akimichi Karui

Yamanaka Ino & Yamanaka Sai

Uchiha Sasuke & Haruno Sakura

Shinki, Mitsuki, and Kagura were all part of a Transfer Student Project. All willingly went, All are now full citizens.

I really didn't see Metal or any of the other evicted teammates serving a purpose to the Narrative.. Maybe Metal still exists in the future, the others I do not care about I'm sorry.

I just fucking hate Inojin

Kawaki was adopted when Boruto was around one (1) and a half. Himawari wasn't conceived yet.

Jonin Sensei and Teams:

Team Four (4): Shino, Sarada, Kawaki, Boruto

Team Eight (8): Karui, Iwabe, Kagura, Shikadai

Team Seven (7): Anko, Sai, Shinki, Sumire, Chōchō, Mitsuki

[bandsandwristbands]

*slams the door* I SAW YOU MENTIONING OC HI

Do you have any original characters? And do you post them somewhere if that's the case? *O*

Shshhddvjdd I am going to disappoint you lol

Technically I do have OCs but I don't give them a ton of public attention or thought because they're usually some sort of self insert (cringe) or a supplemental character to fill out mundane roles or to facilitate an extremely delusional scenario of mine.

So I don't have fully thought out character sheets but I mention them in passing in fics usually (I don't like *background* characters, in real life you vaguely know all your coworkers names and there are tertiary friends in a group, etc, so I just like mentally filling those in) so you can't find em anywhere but I'll post about a couple Naruto ocs here for you 👉👈

Firstly there's Fazluna who is mentioned in my recent fic snippet and included in the vaguest way in this post

She heads guard/security scheduling, vacations, pto, medical leave for the corps etc

She's really good at her job but she's a little awkward, not shy per se but has a difficult time disagreeing with her superiors because she wants to do a good job but she does it anyways because sometimes your boss is stupid and wrong and she wants to do a good job

Also I just really wanted a Sunan girl with some middle eastern energy and to be visibly religious for my Suna Religion AU

Second Ayana Aburame

Shino's chill younger sister, she hangs out with Hinatas younger sister Hanabi (same age group) she's also trans (and is a little jaded because she faced harassment for it), she's quiet like Shino but she doesn't take anyone's shit, she'll get in your face like "wtf are you looking at" or like "don't fucking talk to me no you can't buy me a drink or sit with us, asshole" she's fun at parties and gives excellent tough love pep talks. (She's really inspired by my most assertive irl girlfriends who I always thought were so cool because I am a people pleaser)

Aniyah

She's a DJ and producer and is the definition of "I listen to every genre", she's the ultimate hype girl and loves pushing people out of their shell and encouraging them to be confident/carefree. A true girls girl. Excellent karaoke friend.

She's from the cloud village, she's friends with Karui and tight with Kankuro after introduction and eventually gets pretty friendly with Gaara too. (Gets him wasted and dancing on tables with her at a random after party once that no one is allowed to talk about)

She thinks everyone is hot all the time and should absolutely be flexing it. Very artsy in general. She's a dancer, and physically affectionate, throws ass on everyone, will kiss the homies on the mouth if you let her.

She was very much inspired into existence when I was planning out my Sand Sib Punk Band AU

[bestnarutoduo]

It took a bit of figuring out, but i’ve taken all the submissions and blindly organized them into match ups. For those trio’s/teams that do not have a picture together i’ll be using seperate pictures of the three.

I’ll figure out how that works as i go.

The first round will go up on Monday at 10am MST.

Left Side

Team Ro Vs Naruto, Sakura, & Lee

Team Gai Vs Kakashi, Yamato, & Gai

Kakashi, Yamato, & Iruka Vs Naruto, Sasuke, & Shikamaru

Danzo, Hamura, & Koharu Vs The Sand Siblings

Right Side

Ame Trio Vs Kakashi, Gai, & Tsunade

Team Taka Vs Team 8

Team 7 Vs Karui, Omoi, & Bee

Legendary Sannin Vs Team 10

[spatio-rift]

9/10 and 24/25 :3

Yesss thank you Smiles so sweetly. 💙

9. worst part of canon: we all know about this... taka(+orochimaru)s characterization thrown away in the war for jokes or to act as plot devices... i fear i may never forgive kishimoto. the atmosphere wasnt so tense that we needed karin to be crazy about sasuke again + that overt about wanting sasuke to bite her (?!). why is suigetsu acting like he wasnt captured and experimented on by orochimaru but worked for him like karin. why is juugo acting like sasuke is kimimaro when he clearly made the difference before. orochimarus weirdass change of heart because we needed the hokages to show up. or even suigetsu randomly stumbling upon a convenient scroll detailing how to undo shiki fuujin and his first thought (before he meets sasuke again) is to pocket it because it would be useful for sasuke?? like why was it in suigetsus hideout of all places. why does suigetsu even know what it means. im sorry i just dont think orochimaru discussed the matter of his arms & the first 4 hokages souls over the vivisection table and i dont believe sasuke ever brought it up during hebitaka because WHY WOULD HEEE. etc etc etc like am i making sense? they really are just there to move the plot along and play out a joke once in a while. nothing about what happened when taka separated matters at all in the war theyre barely even characters

10. worst part of fanon: 100% the tendency to make everyone friends i think its so boring!!! like in what world are taka invited to karuis wedding? in what world is karin a guest star on the real housewives of konoha (=joining them for brunch). what exactly do temari and karin have in common other than both having the Kishimoto Woman Personality Type #1.

its so much more fun to have characters who just cant stand each other. naruto dislikes taka for literally no reason and its hilarious we should keep it that way. no way im ever believing karui genuinely befriends sakura i think they should HATE having to see each other all the time because their girls are besties. it will always feel more natural &balanced to me + im more inclined to believe 2 characters whove never talked to each other could be great friends if youve also considered who they DONT mesh with at all.

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse: im trying to remember the sort of discourse ive seen on twitter… but i think i will be boring and say like anything about sakura honestly and especially her relationship with sasuke. the only thing i can think about rn is her fake confession to naruto i dont know what about it gets people going THAT much but they are naastyyy about it.

discourse about Saradas REAL Mom i also steer clear of as much as i can. disgusting. nasty. rancid. i hate that its still a thing people argue about in 2024

you could literally say anything about a naruto woman and it will bring up disgusting discourse honestly

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing: i cant remember anything specific and i know i will feel silly right after posting because like 5 different things will immediately come back to me. here are a few

-> that sasukes ending sucks but everything could be fixed if he got to travel the world with taka. because he #DeservesIt. no the fuck he doesnttttt he should go on his own since he wants them to leave him alone so much.

-> i guess more generally all the complaints about narutos ending SPECIFICALLY about everyone getting married and having kids. i really dont careeee the kids are cute the pairings were set in stone from the beginning everyone is happy. im happy. who give a shit.

also its not exactly a complaint but every other comment on any kind of naruto side content (like sasuke retsuden manga etc) being like "this is awesome not like that trash boruto" SHUT UP!!!! i understand not liking the story of boruto and i understand feeling disappointed by it as a sequel to naruto but you dont have to bring it up all the time!! just move on!!! ignore it!!! you will be much happier!!!

BFCD Masterlist || Black Femme x Asian Character Relationships

This is a list of the ships with at least one Black female character x at least one Asian person or performer (Instances in which the characters aren't human will count as the person portraying the character's race).

As of the 4 Year Anniversary of blackfemmecharacterdependency April 30th, 2024, I am not going to be active. I decided to simply post what I had. The list is incomplete for the foreseeable future, but everyone is welcome to add on to it. Especially because I had several ships planned that I didn't get a chance to add before I had to stop maintaining the blog.

General Tags:

Black + Asian (This is for People with Black and Asian in them. They aren't necessarily ship representation, but sort of are because they are a product of such relationships and may be used for FC's if you have a character of similar makeup)

Black x Asian (This is for ships) | Black women with Asian men | Black women with Asian women | Black Woman with a Bigender Asian | Black Woman with Nonbinary Asian

Exceptions include if there is a nonbinary performer who plays the role of a female character, or vice versa, on the Black end. If there is an EXPLICITLY AFAB MALE, please do not suggest or expect them to appear.

List will include people from and with backgrounds from the countries on the map, but I don't intend to put any from Russia's portions, unless a special circumstance appears.

It was a little bit difficult for me to figure out how to curate the list (there are more of these relationships than I realized. So, for now, its mostly separated by regions of Asia, with the left portions on one list and the right portions on another. Not a perfect breakdown but everything to the left of China (west) and South is going to be the first part, and China to the east will be the second.

Prompt

Since Karui is with Samui and Naruto is at his office, Chocho uses this opportunity to wear that reverse bunny suit without a care. If her father sees it, she won't hide it since her mother isn't around. And after implying that she is leaving to fuck, she will leave and head to the Naruto's office to seduce him.

(let's keep choji blissfully happy and unaware, poor guy doesn't need the heartbreak)

Somehow, despite Chocho being as blatant as possible, stopping short of outright saying out loud "i am daddy Naruto's fucktoy", Chouji had not noticed.

When she said she was wearign "somethign special for the Hokage", Chouji had answered that it was good she was tryign to impress her idol, and had glanced at her just long enough (and she was standing behidn a table) to se her from the back, and just think it was a some kind of latex or skintight outfit. Inquiring about if it was too tight for her or not, Chocho's words that "i'm as tight for Naruto as i can be" were answered with some confusion at her phrasing, but a relief by her father that she was fine with that outfit.

Chocho discardign all her clothes bar that outfit and just strutting aroudn the house? Chouji happened to never look at her from the front once, and his half-hearted comments that it was a revealing oufit and she needed to change were just answered with giggles.

Even when Chocho left, with her parting words being that "i'm gonna see the Hokage and he's going to rail me like nothing" were taken as some kind of slang or something related to training with Naruto, and chouji happily wishing her a fun session and that his friend wouldn't tire her out too much, or hurt her.

He really was completely pathetic and stupid to miss all her hints, but the moment Chocho left her home she forgot entirely about him. He was fat, ugly, and dumb, and he did not matter in the slightest. The only thing that mattered to her was Naruto, pleasuring him, and being the best slut possible for him.

So when she arrived at Naruto's office, proudly showing off her reverse bunny outfit, Chocho was very happy to see Naruto's dick grow in his pants.

[hcaivoices]

ok so I was the one who requested romano sing in danish, I am not danish myself so I don't know a lot of danish songs😭 but, the only one I can think of really is "Leve som dem" from disney "the little mermaid", maybe you can take the one from the live action movie?🧐 (artist/dub voice is: KARUI)

song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz75pfR1Y3w&pp=ygUTS0FSVUkgbGlsbGUgaGF2cmZ1ZQ%3D%3D

I went with the original Disney version. I just like that one better. I wonder how he did. We'll need a Danish person to confirm.

MP3 on Discord Romano made by me Posting for entertainment only

I actually want to have everyone sing Disney songs in their own languages at some point. I'm going to do that eventually. I did it for Jacks Lament around Halloween. Don't request for me to do that though please. I'm letting you know now that I won't do it. As you can imagine it's a lot of work. It's a lot of different versions I have to edit and download.

Bonus:

including Romano's version because I think the guy who sings it sings it in a very 'Romano' way.

[tamelee]

Pleaaaseee there is a tier list on ships from Naruto would love to see that one!

Okay I found a decent list to fill in, here you go:

There were many ships that are completely random so I just threw them all into one category..

About the last category

SakuLee.. I actually thought they were going to be a thing when I first saw the show because no way Sasuke was ever going to give in to her advances. And I was right about that last part because he didn't. And gradually Sakura was little by little being a bit nicer about Lee when she decided to visit him at the hospital.. and wow!! For her, that's amazing development because at the time and even now her entire character is based on that selfish love (Kishimoto's words not mine) she has for Sasuke. And so she even said to Ino that the flowers she brought with her weren't just for Sasuke- it was explicitly stated in the Manga- so that visual AND text said a whole lot about her... buuuuuut then that went down the drain real fast too. And so, no this ship doesn't make sense but I think it could've been if x, y and z..

ObiRin!! Okay, I know I have KakaRin in the category where I get that people ship it, but not ObiRin- why? Because Rin loved Kakashi and not Obito. And so shipping ObiRin for me doesn't make sense since I am also against other one-sided ships. Rin to me however is an entirely different character from.. let's say Sakura or Hinata and so are the dynamics between them within Team Minato. Rin genuinely cares for both Obito and Kakashi equally, but she doesn't love Obito in a romantic sense. She also didn't chase after Kakashi rabidly trying to get him to like her back, that's why, although Rin showed many gestures towards Obito that really shouldn't be underestimated, I wonder how it would've played out with Kakashi under different circumstances. His resolve and beliefs were already swaying during that mission thanks to Obito- if they succeeded, perhaps Kakashi grew up learning to love that way. Perhaps that would've been Rin. (Or maybe not.)

SakuHina.. just put them together and let them be miserable together? I see many benefits from this tbh. Two of the most selfish characters to have ever existed if not the most selfish characters ever- lump them together, never bother anyone else- problem solved.

SaiIno.. I don't really have a problem with this ship but.. Sai is really gay. I'm sorry but what is he doing with Ino? He found her ugly and they're pretty much together for the sake of.. well kids/next gen stuff. For Ino I think it's fine, Sai sorta looks like Sasuke so it makes sense for her.. but Sai being in love with Ino, canonically? Weird. I know, SaiIno shippers will fight me on it, that's fine, you people have great art though, I'm not complaining.

Jiraiya/Tsunade.. I haven't really seen them being shipped together other than places like IG and Reddit. And some of them were really protective of them- Jiraiya would've always put his WoF above Tsunade which she accepted... why is this a good ship? I don't have much to say for this other than my surprise of their popularity..

Choji and Karui.. apparently their relationship was "explained" in filler novels. Choji simply said he was "interested in her". So they married and made a baby for 'Boruto'. Although 'Boruto-canon', this shit makes no sense.

ShikaIno, look I shipped them. I mean, I used to when I first watched the show because I liked their team-work and I thought Ino's very extra behavior balanced well with Shikamaru's more calm nature. I mean, if anything, he had misogynistic thoughts which he sometimes voiced out loud.. so perhaps a bit ignorant at the time, but I thought Ino was the one helping him with that development partly because of her appearance (since well.. the genre..) instead of Temari, but alas. And I think this is better anyway.

KankuSaku.. LISTEN! Hear me out~ Ship makes no sense at all. BUT. She came all the way from Konoha, saved his life just in time, playing doctor in a way where she didn't need to be all worshipped as a Mary Sue in some weird- godforsaken jail (ESAKA TAKE NOTES), but actually was useful because she learned, developed and took action- then bonded with Chiyo which Kankuro also somewhat has a relationship with- whom he then takes care of the puppets for after she dies.. there are connections and things that can be used to have them bond over. MISSED OPPORTUNITY OKAY- that's all I'm sayin'.

Most of you know how I feel about Sakura, but one of the scenes where I think she DID very much shine (as most of her fans think she so much deserves for some reason)- is when she tried her best to befriend Sai who actually was pretty rude at the beginning. It was Sakura who asked him what he was drawing when she went out to find him and what it meant to him. It was Sakura who tried to figure out more about him to see if she could help him (and their case) somehow- which surprised me pleasantly!! She for once didn't do this for selfish reasons. Now, both Sakura and Sai don't really grasp situations well especially when it comes to Naruto and Sasuke, but they sorta bonded over it a little. Sai while genuinely wanting to understand and Sakura while genuinely wanting to deny. It's not a ship, nor a really good ship- Because Sai.. and Sakura.. but I still wanted to point it out.

*-* anyway- there is too much to say about so many of these, I'll think I'll try to keep it short 💕

SS Month ‘23 - Day 25

Day 24 | Day 25 | Day 26

Prompt: Conference

WARNING(S): Mentions of injury, bullying

“Thank you for coming in, Mr. Uchiha, Mrs. Uchiha.” The principal tapped his fingers against the desk, an exhausted note to his aged face.

“You said Sarada was facing suspension,” Sasuke began, eyes narrowing as the child on the other side of him squirmed in her chair at the reminder. “What happened?”

“My daughter’s never been a troublemaker in her life! I don’t know how it happened, but this is not how we raised her.” Sakura added with a glance of concern to the little girl.

“Ah, yes. Well.” Clearing his throat, the older man pulled a sheet of paper out from the little stack on his desk and turned it so they could read. “Today at recess, she got into an altercation with a boy from another class. There are several witnesses as well as the recess monitor herself, who can verify if needed.”

“Yes, but what happened?” Sasuke pressed, leaning closer to the desk. “That can’t be all. Sarada doesn’t pick fights unless provoked.”

Here, the man paused. He glanced towards Sarada, who up to this point had been quiet. “Sarada? Would you mind telling your parents what happened?”

All eyes on the dark-haired girl, her face flushed with embarrassment and a twinge of upset. “He called Chocho fat, Mama. I had to hit him.”

Sakura’s brow furrowed. “Your friend, Chocho? Chouji and Karui's girl?”

“Yes.” Sarada folded her arms across her chest. “He’s a bully. He always picks on her and I’m tired of nobody doing anything about it.”

“... So you hit him.” Her father deadpanned, his face unreadable.

She pouted. “I didn’t hit him hard…”

“Sarada, I get that you were upset for your friend, but you have to understand that hitting others is wrong.” The principal persuaded, a frown wrinkling his face. “You needed to tell Miss Kuroi--”

“Miss Kuroi knows he’s been bullying Chocho and she doesn’t do anything about it!” The little girl exclaimed.

“Hold on. Wait.” Sakura held up a hand, a stern look directed towards her daughter. “You’ve tried telling an adult.”

“Yes.”

“You told your friends.”

“They saw everything.”

“And your friends told the adult.”

“She just told him to ‘play nice’.” Sarada’s stare was almost as searing as her mother’s as she air-quoted it.

Slowly,  she turned her burning stare on the principal. A bead of sweat trickled down his face. “Why are you allowing your staff to overlook obvious signs of bullying? This is ridiculous. We pay you a good sum of money for a good education for our daughter and this is what you call ‘teaching’?”

“U- um, well, Mrs. Uchiha, Miss Kuroi is new here, and isn’t quite used to our code of conduct…”

“So instead of taking the time to teach your staff how to deal with this, you would rather be content to wait until someone gets hurt - like my daughter punching a bully because he’s hurting her friend - to reap the consequences?” She scoffed, folding her arms, brow pinched. “I am a licensed children’s psychologist, Mr. Hamada. I’ve seen firsthand how abusive behavior between children will lead to emotional and mental issues later in life. I've been that bully before. I know how damaging that can be to a young mind.”

“This is unacceptable,” Sasuke agreed, irritation in his voice. “What about the boy? Has he gotten consequences for what he did?”

“Not for being punched, he hasn’t!” The principal balked. “My staff has had to discipline him once or twice for bad behavior, but he’s done nothing to be suspended over.”

“According to the student handbook, repeated abusive behavior is liable for suspension, regardless if it’s a student or staff member. So you would rather let him bully other students and cause them harm than admit you messed up somewhere?” Sakura’s voice was very close to raising, but a hand on her shoulder from her husband made her take a steadying breath. “Mr. Hamada, I will not be accepting my daughter’s suspension. In fact, if you do suspend her for fighting, we will personally take her out of this school and find somewhere else for her education. I will not allow adults to be bad influences for my daughter in a place preparing her for the adult world.”

“Bad influences? Mrs. Haruno, surely--”

“You will reverse the suspension.” The mother’s voice was a deadly quiet.

“I- I can’t just veto a decision that my staff and I have come together to make,” he protested weakly, shrinking under the father’s glare. “The best I can do is reconvene and-- and have a parent-teacher conference with the Akimichis as well…?”

“And the boy’s parents,” she firmly added.

“And the Garous,” the principal said quietly.

“Make a date, then we’ll talk about suspensions.” The pink-haired woman grabbed her purse and her husband’s arm, rising from her chair. “We’ll be taking Sarada for the rest of the day.”

“Of course, ma’am.” Mr. Hamada nodded rapidly, dabbing at his forehead with a handkerchief from his pocket. “You, uh, you have a wonderful day now.”

“We’ll certainly try,” Sasuke flatly answered, taking Sarada’s hand and leading her out of the room behind his wife.

As soon as the door was shut behind them, Sarada looked up, worried. “Am I in trouble?” She asked quietly.

Almost immediately, Sakura’s fierce expression melted into something soft, and she knelt before her. “No, Sara. In fact, I’m very proud of you. You did the right thing.”

“But… but I got in trouble for punching him.”

"Well, yes, but you did everything I told you to do in that situation: you notified an adult, you got witnesses to tell an adult, and you tried to de-escalate. You only used force as a last resort, not a first."

“You showed restraint.” Sasuke chimed in, making her look up at him. There was a strange sort of amusement in his face. “Had it been your mother, the kid definitely would’ve kept a wide berth after that. You really would've gotten suspended.”

“Anata,” Sakura groaned, cheeks burning red. "I'm not that hotheaded anymore..."

"No," he agreed with a chuckle in his voice. "You're fierce."

Sarada giggled at her mother’s embarrassment, stepping closer for a hug. Her perfume tickled her senses pleasantly, as did her soft pink hair against her cheek.

“C’mon,” the dark-haired man gestured towards the door. “Let’s get some ice cream.”

The joy in his daughter’s face brought a smile to his own as he walked with his good hand pressed gently against Sakura’s back, the little girl’s arms wrapped around her mother’s.
