YESSSSSSSSS

꒰ ୨୧ ꒱ — surprise hug.

|| very self-explanatory. you merely wanted to give your lover a hug.

— ꒰⁠ the eccentric squad ꒱. fluff.

word count ( combined ). 612.

content warning. absolutely nothing apart from everyone ( except 'nushi ) being surprised pikachu face, but different flavors.

additional notes. please have this really short and kinda rushed piece until i work something out for my 100 followers special that isn't just a kabukimono drawing thanks 🤍

星. ( wc: 114 )

out of the four — kuronushi is the least surprised one. but you do earn an amused yet warm smile out of him. his arms would envelope you in a soft embrace.

despite the calm disposition; you had his heart soaring in his chest. and truly, even if something was weighing on your mind, he would still reciprocate with a heartbeat because if there is one thing the kasan adores; it's spoil his loving darling with love.

“what’s with the sudden gesture, songbird?” he'd ask in a knowing tone, which earns him a slightly sweeter smile and for your gentle embrace to tighten slightly in response.

that was all he needed for an answer.

太陽. ( wc: 146 )

kabukimono undergoes the five stages of grief, but make it surprise.

first it would be him being the very embodiment of a statue as he remains still in place, rightfully taken aback. the second would have him internalizing that this is reality, he wasn't having another fleeting dream again. the third would leave him internalizing this some more as his arms subconsciously wrap around your figure. the fourth would be the stage of realization as a small smile adorns his face, a smile that eventually softens then brightens as the fifth stage would be him enthusiastically reciprocating the embrace.

“you startled me for a bit there,” the puppet would confess with a slight laugh, “is something wrong?”

“not at all,” you'd respond, your tone warm and reassuring as ever. which only makes his smile widen in sheer joy.

“i just wanted to give you a hug.”

月. ( wc: 173 )

out of the four — kunikuzushi is the most surprised one. the definition of a statue as his mind short circuits. the tension hugged him tighter in contrast to you, and he looks at you; confusion clouding the incredibly faint glimmer of curiosity in his eyes.

just what exactly is going on through your head this time to distract him from doing his nails? honestly, how annoyingly unpredictable could you get. but the balladeer digressed, choosing to situate a hand of his on your back. it was the best he could do for now.

“what is it?” he'd ask in a quiet tone, his gaze expressing indifference yet his touch on you is gentle and lingering as he brought you a little bit closer to him. his hand subconsciously trailing down to your lower back as your embrace grew warmer and more reassuring to him, causing the tension to leave his body bit by bit.

“nothing.” you replied, still maintaining that smile of yours as you felt his arm loosely wrap around you.

日食. ( wc: 179 )

the wanderer is a bit of both kabukimono and kunikuzushi. sure, you suddenly decided to hug him while he was occupied with cooking lunch for the two of you and nahida, but the gesture wasn't unwelcome. neither was it unwanted.

he was still occupied with cutting the zaytun peaches and the bulle fruits for the little sprout, so how he reciprocates your embrace is by pausing his work and leaning his head slightly against yours, a slight smile adorning his face as he observes the way your expression brightens at his choice of how to reciprocate the gesture.

his lips sneakily find their way to plant a featherlight kiss to your head before he directs his attention back to slicing the bulle fruits into neat, ever so slightly uneven cuts. and the wanderer relishes in being able to feel your gaze on him, better yet, being in your arms from behind. but such words are feelings are better left unsaid.

after all, you are aware and so is he. what's the point in expressing such feelings through words?

[magic-kunai]

The Academy days following were very much like the one Haruto learnt to access his chakra; conditioning in the morning followed by familiarizing themselves with their chakra (those who hadn’t yet were still attempting to access their chakra) then lunch, after lunch they’d do some form of bookwork before working with weapons until they were let loose for the day.

Sunday, though, found Haruto at a rather large building with a sign reading Konoha Toshokan by it’s front door. The village’s library was opened to the general public- there were somethings that had certain requirements to access but, generally, things with restricted access were located in the village’s archive library- so it was located at the center of the village like the hospital was, which meant that getting there took longer then getting to the Academy even if he took the majority of it at a jog and the dirt path from the Orphanage to the Academy at a run.

I’m here now, though. Haruto thought as he breathed in twice through his nose before letting it out through his mouth, it made his exhales sound like a loud, gusty sigh but he figured it was better then straight out panting. Only once he got his breathing under control did he enter, flushing at the amused look the woman at the front desk sent him.

...I can probably find what I want by myself. He decided, turning to walk further into the library rather then ask the woman. There were, actually, quite a few things Haruto wanted to look up and the first were what kind of trees that grew in Konohagakure.

Jo knew how to make a wand.

Granted, it was vague knowledge like how one learns to play an instrument without ever actually practicing- all theory and no practical experience. There, also, weren’t any of the typical wand cores available but he- well, Jo- knew that he could get around with things besides what Ollivanders offered to first years, it wasn’t as if there were any laws here about using blood to make a wand. Barring a wand, there were always other mediums for him to look into- he just would prefer a wand due to previous experience.

Trees of Konohagakure was, actually, less helpful then Haruto had original assumed. The book had spoke of trees in the village but it could be summed up as the author being a fan of the Shodai with a detailed description of the Hashirama trees and how the first Hokage used them during his life. It wasn’t until a Yamanaka took pity on him and handed him a book called A Civilian’s Guide To What Is Grown In Konohagakure that Haruto learnt more then just Hashirama trees and the various uses for it’s wood.

Alder, Apple, Ash, Cedar, Cherry, Chestnut, Dogwood,  Elm, Fir, Holly, Maple, Oak, Pine, Willow, Yew. Haruto wrote down carefully. There were, he knew, likely some missing from his list due to both different names and because Jo had never memorized all the kinds of woods that were used to make wands- only her own, her friends and ones that stood out like ‘dogwood’ did.

The notebook- traded from one of his roommates in exchange for doing their chores for two weeks- was tucked away and the book returned before Haruto moved on to the next thing on his list was to look for a bestiary but, after a moment, decided to hold off on that incase it were covered in class. Thus, the next thing he looked for was cultural differences between the nations because he had to know if there was anything any where that hinted at magic or English.

Haruto went through several books, reading until things started getting mixed up in his head and writing seemed to dance upon the page- danced on in his mind when he shut the book and closed his eyes against hands that tried to rubbed at them. There were aspects that were familiar, from Kaze no Kuni’s habit of siesta to how many countries celebrated christmas of all things, but it was a cold comfort given how foreign everything else was to what Jo recalled. From fashion and technology to food and entertainment, things were so different that he felt keenly that he was on a completely different world then Earth.

That's to say nothing about the views on killing, war and child soldiers here.

All orphans, when they reach admissions age, are automatically applied to the Academy to learn how to be a ninja - those whom fail the physical or flunk out before the final year a shunted off to other, civilian schools. Meanwhile the ones who do make it to graduation yet didn't manage to make it onto a genin team with a jōnin-sensei are drafted into service in divisions such as Career Genin, Research and Development, Intelligence, Medical or such things. Of course those shuffled into those spots can climb ranks also, even Career Genin can petition to take the Chūnin Exams if they wish to.

It was a good system overall and is a great help to make sure that orphans don't wind up reaching their majority with absolutely no means to take care of themselves, but still - child soldiers.

Haruto...kind of wished that he never regained Jo's memories, for all that magic might be useful in the future, he really wished that he could regain the same excitement he had over training to become a ninja. Then there was the presence of magic itself that was problematic; he trusted the Hokage and the other people in charge of the village, less now that he had a different perspective on the Academy, but he was also acutely aware of how valuable kekkai genkai were. And there's no one in the orphanage who hasn't heard a whispered horror story of students whom developed odd abilities being snatched up - some say by Orochimaru, others say that the Council have a special program for new bloodlines with no clans to protect them - and never heard from again.

No one is going to go looking for one more missing orphan - not when it's likely that they simply ran away.

Unless I become visible enough - famous enough - or important enough to be noticed missing, Haruto mused. He was unable to take those tales as completely false, not when there was a noticeable amount of orphans missing; the adults may wave it off as runaways whom formed a gang and dragged new members in to join, but there were a few missing kids whom he had known, if not well then enough to be aware that each had dreams that couldn't be accomplished by running away.I can't risk letting anyone know about my magic.

Then he thought about graduating and being assigned a genin team and a jōnin-sensei, about long-term missions that'd keep them in close contact and dangerous ones that would make him use everything available to survive and winced.

I can't just quit the Academy, he thought.

Technically, quitting the Academy wasn't illegal - there are some people who just can't handle being a ninja or even the thought of it once the teachers and lessons start chipping away at the naïve ideal of what a ninja is - but it's kind of a social stigma to do so. Many viewed being a ninja as a noble thing, saw ninja as protecting the village, and to have a child whom had the potential to be a ninja but choose not to? It was shameful.

Of course there was nothing shameful if the Academy decided you weren't cut out to be a ninja and dropped you, no that was just shrugged off as not everyone can be ninja - they were a completely different breed of humans, after all. Haruto huffed a sigh as he placed that last book - So You Wish To Visit Kaze no Kuni? - back where he'd gotten it, deciding that he deserved some comfort food if he were going to have to deal with the mess that was now his life.

He left the library to went at a trot to the market district.

The orphanage didn't provide them with money to buy things, everything they needed was provided for them after all, but it was an unspoken rule that the people whom worked in the market district would pay you a bit of ryō to do small tasks - such as small deliveries to or help clean. As a whole, people didn't really want to see or think about orphans - didn't want to spend time of their busy daily lives to think of such tragedies - but they did enjoy the good reputation that they gained from helping one of poor parentless kids.

Granted, some of the people were genuinely good people - like those who ran that one ramen shop that let the blond everyone hated help out for free meals - but the majority cared about their reputation and how it affected their business.

Which is why none of those 'decent folk' will help the blond, Haruto thought darkly, too much risk in a dip in business for helping the kid everyone hated. For a moment, he pondered on that but then he arrived at a bustling market district and filed the thought away as the boy's parents being traitors and everyone hating him by association to focus on working his way through the crowd to Saitama, a fabric store whose owner thought him as 'sweet' and tended to pay more then usual for his assistance.

Saitama Natsu, the owner's grandson whom worked the counter, glanced at him as he entered before calling out, "Obāsan! Your Haru-chan is here again!"

Haruto pulled a face at the nickname and Natsu smirked at him as a girlish squeal came from the back room, "Haru-chan!? Give me a moment- I'll be right there!" the older woman called out, and shuffling could be heard before she called once more, "Did you eat all the snacks I made, Tsu-kun!? I can't find them!"

"I didn't!" the teen denied, looking long-suffering at his own nickname. "I put them in the oven to keep warm!" Then, turning his attention to Haruto, asked, "So, how long are you going to be mooching?"

"I'm not mooching," Haruto defended, "I do things!"

Natsu raised a brow, "Proportional to the amount Obāsan feeds and pays you?" He flushed and the teen nodded, "So my question remains."

"I'll pay back what I owe when I become a ninja," Haruto said.

"And if you don't become a ninja?" the teen pressed.

I'll use magic, he thought but said, "I'll think of something if I am dropped - but I will pay you guys back."

"Oh, there's no need for that, Haru-chan." Saitama Nana beamed at him as she entered the room with a tray of senbei. "Tsu-kun is just worrying about money since there's a rumor going around that Kaminari no Kuni will be abolishing all current trade agreements with Hi no Kuni. Apparently Kumo's held a grudge since that incident with the Hyūga four years ago and has finally managed to convince their Daimyō to cut off trade with Hi no Kuni in retaliation - or so the rumors say. Senbei?"

Haruto blinked at the sudden topic change but took a rice cracker and bit a piece, grabbing three more when urged to though his mind was more focused on the rumor. "Could it be true? And why is trade with Kaminari no Kuni important?"

"It's important to you specifically because a fifth of the metal the village uses to make ninja tools like kunai are mined there, which means that your ninja toys' cost will be hiking up real soon." Natsu answered, emphasizing the 'you' with a jab in his direction. "For us, though, a full third of the cotton we use to make our fabrics are grown in Kaminari no Kuni." The teen scowled at the woman, "Which means we have to pay attention to the money we use."

Nana waved him off, "Piffle, it's just rumors. What is you called it? All hot air and no substance?"

"Obāsan this is serious-!" Natsu hissed.

"Anyways, Haru-chan," she cut the teen off, bustling about until she grabbed three medium-sized boxes and offered them to him, "I've got three deliveries for you today, I've marked on the boxes where they need to go already. Two hundred ryō for the deliveries - oh and let me bag a few of these to take with you!"

Haruto waited until the woman had bustled away before asking, "How likely is it that the rumors are true?"

"Very." Natsu said grimly as he stuffed the boxes into the book bag he'd brought with him (mindful of his notebook and writing supplies), taking note of the places - Toyama, Shiga, Haruno - listed as he did so. "Kumo never really dropped the whole Hyūga Affair, they're pissed they didn't get their hands on the Byakugan, so it's likely that they'd cut off trade - if they can't attack Konoha directly, they could still inconvenience us."

He mused on that - while he may not knowing much about the incident, Jo was intimately familiar with people holding grudges so the entire thing seemed more likely. "What other important things do we get from Kaminari?"

The teen seemed startled for a moment but answered, seeming pleased that someone was taking the situation seriously. "Dairy and meat but Hi no Kuni is bountiful enough on it's own that we'd only really be missing the luxury brands like the Stormy brand line. We get half our tobacco from them which will make the Sarutobi clan unhappy and everyone hates an unhappy Hokage."

"We also," Natsu said darkly, "Get caffeine from Kaminari which Hikari-chan says is a major ingredient in those soldier pills that the ninja use."

That...that's very bad, he winced. Everyone knew about soldier pills, an invention of Tsunade-sama's during the end of the Second Shinobi War, and how vital they had been during the Third Shinobi War in ensuring a Konoha victory by giving the fighting ninja the extra boost they needed.

He didn't get the chance to comment because Nana had returned, carrying a baggie that evidently had more then just a 'few' senbei inside. "Here you go~!" She sang, handing over the bag then pushing two 100 bills of ryō into his hand. "I'll have none of your 'paying after the job is done' business, Haru-chan! I know you'll do as promised and I'm sure you can make better use of your time then coming back just for payment. Now, shoo!"

Haruto left the store obediently, thinking worriedly about the potential consequences of the - possible- loss of trade as he back tracked a bit to reach Toyama. He didn't speak to the worker there, though he accepted the 50 ryō coin with a brief nod of thanks before trotting deeper into the market district towards Shiga. The girl working at Shiga only paid him two 10 ryō coins but did pass on that she'd heard from her cousin - who worked at the capital as a servant in the Daimyō's house - that there had been some missives from Kaminari no Kuni that the Daimyō had been displeased about.

Then he was trotting off to the Haruno clothing shop at the far end of the district, deciding if he failed at becoming a ninja then he could always be a delivery guy. Or information broker with how much gossip people seemed to readily tell him.

Or a witch doctor, he mused as he entered the Haruno's store. He'd passed by the building plenty of times before but had never been inside, the clothes that were made and sold here were far too fine for an orphan like him to own - there's no way he could save up the money to buy something here, and if he did then it'd likely be stolen and sold off the minute he turned his back.

Haruto was more then a bit startled to see the familiar face of his classmate - he certainly remembered her pink hair - seated behind the counter. She blinked at him, "Konoha-kun?"

He made a face at the name.

Don't get him wrong, Haruto loved his village like any other citizen, he just hated how it emphasized how he was an orphan. Konoha no Haruto was his full name, the one that the matron had given him after he'd arrived at the orphanage with no documentation to speak of and with no one the wiser as what his real name - and birthday - was or who his parents had been.

"Haruno-chan," he greeted politely, digging through his bag for the box. "It is good to see you well."

She nodded, "Um. You too? Why are you here? You-"

"Delivery," Haruto cut her off before she could mention how much he could not afford the stuff here, moving to place the box on the counter. "From Saitama."

Her eyes lit up, "Kāchan has been waiting for this! Oh, um, am I supposed to pay you?"

"You don't have to, I was paid by Saitama to deliver these," He shrugged, "But I do generally get a tip."

Haruno bit her lip, glanced at the register then back at him before nodding, "That's fair." She said before ruffling through the register and offering him a 100 ryō bill. "Here."

That...that was way more then a 'tip'.

Not that I am going to be the one to tell her that, Haruto decided, taking the bill with a thanks before leaving.  He made a bee-line for a food stall selling tsukemono, Jo had given him a brand new appreciation for pickled cucumbers.
