i just think theyre neat

[annonymouslyannoying]

Okay but did anyone ever notice that the handle of Kubikiribōchō is literally detachable- Like Suigetsu wears part of the handle on his side

Like- why is this is the case? What's the point-? Just seems like extra work to me but HEY it's cool so

SO I’m slowly getting back to the Naruto/Boruto fandom after some years and wanted to complete this snippet I’ve had sitting around for a while ^*^ I hope you guys enjoy and feedback are always appreciated!

Izumi and Satoru are my OCs from Kirigakure/The Mist

…

“You don’t know what you’re doing, woman,” Suigetsu muttered under his breath, although he was barely standing up on his feet. “You can’t just allow a fugitive to escape-”

“You are not a fugitive.” Although she too was on the last reserves of her chakra, especially after the… bloodshed they had just escaped, Izumi was still able to support the Hozuki while dragging Kubikiribocho behind her. The white haired man was aware that she was shaking slightly… and not just from fatigue.

“It wasn’t your fault.” he mumbled in what he hoped was a non-judgmental tone.

“I suppose we can tell that to Hebiichigo.” As much as the redhead tried to keep her voice nonchalant, there was the tremor in it. “Oh wait… we can’t.” And now it was laced with bitterness and discontempt.

“There wasn’t anything you could do about it.”

“Suigetsu just - please… don’t try to make this better for me.”

The man was successful in suppressing a sigh. Whatever he said now, it wouldn’t matter… words couldn’t ease the guilt she felt. Not while the pain was still so raw. Not with the only person she had was him, who was never good with words… what she needed was distraction.

“Any ideas how we’re going to get out of Kiri then?”

“I have an acquaintance in the docks. He will get us out of here if it’s the last thing he does.”

“Not if I have a say about it.”

Suigetsu did not recognize the new voice that joined them, but it was clear the redhead kunoichi did as she froze on the spot, bringing him to an agonizing halt as well. With a grunt, the white haired man fell to the ground.

It was a sign of the agitation Izumi was feeling as she didn’t even acknowledge this unceremonious act with an apology as she whipped back, brandishing the legendary sword sloppily in her hands. “Satoru…”

“Izumi.” The dark haired man simply stated as he walked forward, his gaze as well as his sword hand steady. There was a cold, unyielding look in his eyes. “Surely… you aren’t trying to run away with this criminal?”

“He is no criminal.” Despite how exhausted she felt, Izumi still managed to deliver her words in an unwavering tone. “He was invited here by the Mizukage’s orders. He helped us in this war as much as any of our ninjas. What crime do you even blame him with?”

“So you claim he’s totally innocent eh? That he’s some sort of… war hero…” Satoru jerked his head to behind them, towards the docks. “Why is he running away, then, with one of our swords nonetheless?”

Izumi gaped at him, lost of words for a moment. “You… didn’t you hear what happened in town?” Her voice broke in the end. “Don’t you know…?”

“I heard a thing or two,” the man’s voice, on the other hand, was almost careless. “That’s why he’s hightailing it?”

“I’m letting him escape. I will notify Lord Mizukage and Mei about my decision. And I will definitely bring Kubikiribocho back. This is my word. This is on my head.” The redhead stood a little stronger, squaring her shoulders. “I will not let him face the same carnage Hebiichigo and her friends did.”

“Izumi, Izumi…” Satoru shook his head, and Izumi wondered, with an uneasy pang of disgust in her heart, if what she saw was the hint of a smile on his face. “You don’t really expect people who’d been hurt by them to stand idly aside and let them be, do you? Of course there was going to be some sort of retaliation.”

“Retaliation?” Izumi almost shouted in angry disbelief. “A young, innocent girl was murdered in cold blood you mongrel!”

“She wasn’t so innocent when she joined that Shizuma bastard in rebellion years ago. One has to take responsibility for what they-”

Satoru didn’t get to finish his sentence. With a cry of pure rage, Izumi had lunged at him, the legendary sword held high. The man just had the time to rise his own. The two blades clashed, but it was apparent that Kubikiribocho had the upper hand.

“You were behind this too, weren’t you?” Izumi hissed in his face. “You were a perpetrator in that goddamn attack!”

“So what if I was?” Satoru leered, unfazed. “Excuse me if I’m not going to cry over a bunch of scum.”

“You monster!” Izumi cried as she made a big slash with the sword, and Satoru had to jump back with a grunt as it passed by mere inches from his face. “They fought for Kiri, they were here to help!”

“Doesn’t erase their sins from the past, though, does it?”

It was like a red mist had clouded her vision. She wasn’t aware that she had moved, but the next moment, she engaged Satoru.

Izumi didn’t need words to convey her feelings after that point. Instead she let Kubikiribocho talk, and felt like she was empowered by every parry, every thrust. It was like the sword understood her insatiable wrath, even felt the very same way. She felt like it was singing, singing her fury to the darkening sky.

Was it how wielding a legendary sword felt like, she wondered. She… was enjoying it.

On and on they went, and she lost track of time completely. It could’ve been ten minutes or hours… She could hear Satoru’s breath hitching and it was like her chakra reserve was full from the beginning, she didn’t feel even a single drop of sweat on herself.

Your rightful anger is giving you all the strength you need, a voice mused in her head.

Satoru’s sword flew away from his hands. He winced as he landed hard on his back and couldn’t get up. When he looked up at her, the kunoichi saw his eyes widening and a look of panic… no, almost fear settling into them.

She’d never once beaten him in a sword fight after all.

Having locked eyes with him, Izumi didn’t immediately move for the last strike. She just kept gazing at the man that once held her heart, but now she hated him with all her being. One by one scenes flew before her eyes. Satoru subtly but mercilessly making fun of her, blaming her for Masaki’s awful injuries… Proposing to her like it was nothing, like her feelings and humiliation did not matter, like she did not matter… And now this, rallying ignorant people against those who came to their aid in Kiri’s most troubled moment…

This man was the embodiment of everything she hated and resented. Izumi raised Kubikiribocho even higher.

For all there was to it, she had completely forgotten about Suigetsu, for her no one existed but her and Satoru. That was why she was completely taken aback when she couldn’t move the sword any further, that it was being pulled back.

“That will do.” came the calm voice of the Hozuki from behind her. How was he so calm?

“No.” she said, and her tone was another shock. It was so cold, almost devoid of emotions. “He needs to die. I will end this here and now.”

Before Suigetsu could say anything more, Satoru acted. He dived for his sword, rolled and stood up again. Izumi was more than ready to continue their battle, she was actually yearning for it, but there was a tug in her hands and Kubikiribocho was no longer hers.

She had never seen another warrior wielding a sword like this, maybe only Chojuro. It didn’t even look like Suigetsu was fighting, it was more like a deadly dance. The winner was determined from the very beginning.

In no time at all, maybe even less time than it took for her to defeat him, Suigetsu had the legendary sword against Satoru’s throat. He was such a… natural he seemed, at that moment, just the rightful person to carry a legendary sword, like it was his birthright. She felt a shiver going down her spine. It was a formidable sight.

“You will return to the village.” The white haired man said in a tone that somehow held the authority of a kage. And still, he was so calm. Izumi could not understand it. “You will not pursue us, and I will spare you.”

“You, spare me? Who the hell do you think you are?”

“That’s for you to find out if you’re foolish enough.” Inexplicably, he turned his back to the man on the ground. “Come on, Izumi, let’s go.”

Satoru got to his feet, a look of disgust settling in his eyes as he directed his gaze to the kunoichi himself. “Mark my words, I will never forget this.” He spat towards the back of Suigetsu.

Izumi knew it would take only a spark to ignite the fury inside her, and that was it. Sprinting from her place, she was by the white haired man in a second, her hand reaching for the legendary sword once more.

And then there was a sharp pain to the back of her head, and she saw no more.

…

She opened her eyes to a strong breeze whipping her face, and the smell of salt water filling her nostrils. Blinking, her companion came into view, sitting just a few feet in front of her.

“Where are we?” Her voice was a little groggy.

“Isn’t it obvious?” came Suigetsu’s answer, not looking at her. She noticed Kubikiribocho on his lap and one of his hands trailing in the sea. At first she thought nothing of it, but slowly, she noticed the many wounds he had received were healing. Just by small degrees, but they were. “We are sailing away from the Mist.”

“I didn’t know water could heal you as well.”

Suigetsu scoffed, but it was without humor. “Shows just how much you Kiri people know.”

She was so, so tired that she didn’t bother to merit this with an appropriate answer. Instead, she found herself just staring at the sword. “You should’ve allowed me to finish what I started.” she mumbled. Oh she so wanted to hold the blade again…

“No.” The man’s answer was curt, delivered with a finality. It made Izumi frown up at him.

“I can wield a legendary sword perfectly well, thank you very much, and I believe I showed how capable I am just now.”

“That’s not it, you idiot.” The Hozuki sighed, passing a hand through his eyes. “You… have no idea about the kind of power these swords have, do you? About their true potential?”

Izumi was surprised, and she didn’t answer for a moment. “I know about as much as any Kirigakure ninja.” she replied honestly.

“So in short, you know next to nothing.” There was the scoff again, which was beginning to get on the woman’s nerves. “Yet you get to claim the swords truly belong to the Mist… The ignorance is laughable.”

“Well, why don’t you spit it out then?” Her tone was a little more aggressive than she imagined, but she couldn’t help it.

“This is not the time. Go back to sleep. There’s still a long way to the Land of Fire.”

It was Izumi’s turn to scoff. “I didn’t sleep. You knocked me out.”

“It was just as well. If Kubikiribocho got a hold of you while you were at your weakest… Well, you can thank me later when you hear the whole story.”

Izumi looked away, though it was hard, and out into the open water, towards the land piece they were leaving behind. “How come you know the whole story then?”

“You ever heard about Hozuki Mangetsu? From the unbeatable legendary warriors, the first group?” There was a pause. “He was my brother.”

“Oh.” The woman didn’t know what else to say. From what she heard, Mangetsu wasn’t alive anymore.

“He had mastered all of the seven swords. And that was what cost him his life. That much power… isn’t meant for one person only.” Another smirk. “It’s not only about learning taijutsu and kenjutsu, you see. There’s a whole lore behind it.”

“I honestly don’t understand what you’re saying…” Trying to decipher the meaning was already giving her a headache. “But I’m more than eager to listen to that lore when we can… and decide whether I’ll thank you for it or not.”

“I suppose I should thank you for getting me out of that hellhole as well,” this time, the man’s smile, albeit a small one, was genuine as he finally looked at her. “But let’s not turn this into a tradition, shall we?”

Izumi smiled herself. “No. Let’s not.” Then she settled as best as she could into the boat for a restless sleep.

kakashi on day 8: i am fucked ^-^

[croutonconfidential]

give me "Akatsuki? I think you mean polycule" for 500 please

😳 omg its bird hiiii~!

so the full title is "Akatsuki? I Think You Mean To Say The Polycule Of Dangerous Assassins That Want World Piece?" and im possibly goin to change it but the title works well for what im planing i just hope as i write it that the title still matches the tone im going for

the premise i had for this was that everyone in akatsuki actually wants world peace and to destroy the government/unionize against the shinobi system. basically, there is no secret puppet master getting them all to bring back kaguya and akatsuki is able to purse its original purpose of forming ninja union and stop wars. the recruitment pitches worked on all the original akastuki cast and eventually they all fall in love forming the akatsuki polycule and adding on to it with each new recruit.

the reason this is still a wip is because the large cast of people, the work that would need to go into building a timeline and tweaking cannon and i cant figure out if i want plot or character study for this project. the basic run down i have so far is as follows ....

obito committed too hard to international terrorism bit and it became real, the polycule led to him forming human connection and seeing akatsuki as more than a tool to puppet to the eye of moon plan so he committed to the bit because he began to want the bit to be real

orochimaru has been kicked out of the polycule for attacking itatchi for his eyeballs, because itachi is the polycule baby when he first joined and orochimaru tried to steal the kids eyeballs which is a big no-no

orochimaru has intense divorced energy with sasaori and kakuzu and is affronted that he has effectively been replaced with deidara and hidan because they are both loud noisy and stupid and the only thing the three have in common is that they are dramatic hoes that wont stop talking and orohcimaru refuses to see any similarity

kisame is mostly in akatsuki for the job security and the ninja union that obito promised him but like hmmm these people are honest with him about stuff and wont betray them because they share a common goal and are the strongest relationship he has and also maybe juzo biwa(previous owner of kubikiribocho before zabuza got it) is here in the polycule and maybe kiri nins stick together idk what to do with kisame's romantic life yet maybe hes not doing anything romantic idk

kakuzu is moneysexual here(im joking but not really) hes got something going on with hidan but i cant go into it since i have yet to build up how i want to write hidan

not everyone is dating each other or even dating anyone at all but they are all like sardines in a can and are a close knit group very insular so they are all very close

zetsu if he does exist in the story , my first thought was that he slowly drifts away from akastuki as they are no longer a useful organization to manipulate anymore and obito is slowly not listening to madara's will anymore so he goes to find other methods to do the eye of moon plant and either creates conflict with akatsuki for plot and the polycule has to save the world or i just retcon zetsu based of his first appearance cuz i recall hearing how kishimoto had retconned zetsu and a lot of naruto's plot to make the kaguya plot to divert from the inevitable conflict of naruto confronting akastuki and to in turn face the corruption and flaws of the shoinobi system because during the time naruto was being written there was a sudden rightwing movement in japan and kishimoto switched up his story writing for naruto because he was on the right but i for real can't recall the details and i fear i may be terribly misinformed about all of this but the short of it is i might retcon zetsu cuz kishimoto may have retconned zetsu first and i want to unretcon him and play with the character he could have been, its really complicated and i have no idea what im doing

i havent gotten the relationship chart set up but i really want them all to be a big found family that cares about each other even if they only care for bad or stupid reasons and a good portion of them are dating each other

[kankuroplease]

What are your best headcanons for KisaSaku?

These will be all sorts of random because why not? Tw: mentions of violence, age gap relationship, sexual themes, and my own brainrot ✨

Getting the obvious out the way, Sakura would be a young adult meeting Kisame in an alternative timeline au. Age gap still intact, but she’s not a kid

How they meet?

Totally by chance

The worlds falling apart in a totally different way than anyone ever expected, but at least they found questionable company in each other

Sakura’s guard is up with him, but she finds herself smiling along his infectious smile after a short time

Kisame hasn’t had a partner since Itachi and little miss konoha is a difference vibe

She talks a lot, maybe too much. But he doesn’t mind it, it’s made getting to know her easier and feels his day with something other than his own assumptions and disillusionment

Her life up until now was a lot more sheltered than his, so he would feel that she needed to prove herself a bit

She’s trained under the notorious copycat ninja and a hokage, so he has no doubt she is capable

Because of this, Kisame does not baby Sakura when it comes to fighting. It’s so or die, pinkie pie

like, girl he’s seen you level a building with a well placed punch. You got this (also he’s not going to let her die unlike how he acts as if he would)

Because of this, Sakura learns to trust her own strength and train harder in her free time

Which, tbh is probably would be what attracts him to her the most

Pretty faces are a dime a dozen, but this girl won’t quit trying to keep up and improve herself

Samehada lowkey likes to steal a little chakra from Sakura, but she can feel it and lectures the sword because who does it think it is

Kisame thinks this is SO funny/cute and will cackle about it

You like her, Same? He thinks he does too

Occasionally Kisame will merge with Samehada when they’re near the ocean for training and a little special sea food dinner for two

If Sakura gets in the water with him, he’ll playfully circle her while she’s floating. Just to keep her on her toes before swimming back off

Sakura has tried to deep dive with him before but that didn’t end so well for her 💀

Sakura becomes enamored with the swords of the swordsmen of the mist and Kisame figures why not retrieve one with her

He can see what she’s made of while welding a blade and there’s a few he will mull over that might be a good fit for cherry girl

First that comes to mind would be The Kabutowari. She’s definitely strong enough to wield it, but it’s size and training may be burdensome

Then there is the Kubikiribocho, it’s another powerful sword that she could easily wield. There’s only the problem of Suigetsu. She might be able to seduce it of him or just beat him up

The sleeper one would be the Nuibari; small but extremely effective and brutal with wielded correctly. Just imagining her tossing it like a javelin through their opponents repeatedly making that dreaded knot of corpses would be quite a thrill.

But the choice is hers, just know she’ll have to earn the right to wield them

Sakura wouldn’t see him in a sexual attraction way at first, but training to wield swords with him and seeing his more, albeit subtle, caring side would have her thinking about it

blue and gilly, he is charmingly unique. Plus his body looks amazing despite not being in his prime and she’s seen the print of what he’s working with in his pants… my the sage, Ino would be slack jawed if she heard her thinking like this

When did she become a pervert? It must be her period talking💀

Speaking of, he totally let her use his hand as a make shift heating pad for her lower abdomen and that melted her heart a bit

After a year of being called every cutesy nickname in the book by him, she’d hit him with a “don’t hurt yourselves now, handsome” after pulling him up by his wrist off a crumbled cliff side

He’s confused. He’s usually the one poking fun at her

This leads to a bunch of not so subtle flirting between the two, testing each other’s interest and limits

Lots of stolen glances between before one of them (Sakura) cracks and slides into the others sleeping bag

Finally saying “fuck it” and crossing that line they’ve both been standing at the edge of dating each other to make a move

Yeah, Ino would definitely faint if she knew. Especially about the double dicks

But that’s Sakura’s little secret in her new life 🤫
