[oh-no-its-bird]

<climbs in through your windows and falls fca first onto the floor>

Hey so uh I don't remember if you found a third to Huohua and Hana's team and I just wanted to jump in real quick with a suggestion that I think is around the same age as them-

Nara Ensui

My reasons are thus:

1. While the Ino-Shika-Cho trio is a big thing, clearly not all Yamanakas/Naras/Akimichis can be in one of those cells, and based on the naming convention, it seems to mainly apply to the clan heirs/main family, probably for political relations reasons

2. Ensui (seemingly) wears eyeliner and I feel like that should make him pivotal to the plot

I did actually choose someone to be their third on the team !! They're getting stuck with Kabuto bc I find him fascinating and it'll be a fun way to get Houhua dropped onto Orochimaru's radar

However Ensui is such a fun choice too, I might have to put him in my back pocket for later use. Ur so right, any character w eyeliner immediatley deserves to be elected for plot significance

I will say, I think it'd be so fun if he was added and we did play with like. There weren't enough kids to make an even number of ino-shika-choi teams. Do u think he'd feel left out? How do you think he'd be chosen to be the one excluded that year? So many fun thoughts ,,

Might have to play with that later actually, I like the crumbs of that narrative. Idk if Houhua is gonna pass the chunin exam yet so if he doesn't, maybe his second team can include him? Hana would pass for sure, and Kabuto's whole thing is that he fails it every year.

Actually quick side, note: the fact that this is possibly Kabuto's first chunnin exam (how old is he again ?? I don't fucking remember but not that old) is interesting too, he won't know what he's going into like he does other years

Anyways team (whatever number) my beloveds <3

Does their team number change w the teachers they're given ? Bc like, they were handed to Kakashi first, which would make them team 7 (for like half a day) but after that, are they still team 7? Could be cute if they're called smthn like team 7 and a half

Their team number is constantly shifting w each new teacher they're thrown at, the other teams just start calling them team 7 and a half to make fun of them and it sticks

Team 7 and a half my beloveds <3

Actually. Thinking ab Kabuto now. Having thoughts. Experiencing emotions.

I do think the most interesting result in Houhua being on a team w him would be he recognizes that Kabuto wants to fail the exam on purpose, then somehow, some way, tricks or corners him into passing.

VERY big wrench in Kabuto's plans and Houhua is suddenly on his list of least favorite people. He has BEEF. No idea how we'd get there tho, or if I even wanna fr take it there, I just think it'd be interesting.

ANYWAYS UHH

While I'm here and talking ab the au, take this comment from the vault fic chapter where I posted about the au:

I absoloutley think Jun and Kisame should get to know eachother for sure, itd be so fun !! Idk how exactly, but if nothing else Kisame seems to be great at handling standoffish ice prince bitches (*cough* Itachi *cough*) so he should be surprisingly good w interacting w Jun !

Which also brings up the fact that like. Jun and Itachi interacting would be the funniest thing ever. Because before Itachi hearing that Houhua has some mystery relationship w this guy, they're probably just standing next to eachother in dead silence (it's very peaceful)

But then Jun gets potentially rather violently recruited into Akatsuki, so now he's being very frosty (they are still standing together in dead silence)

And then by the time he melts a little, Itachi has noted the weirdness w Houhua. And now he's being super frosty and incredibly passive aggressive. And also possibly plotting a silent murder.

But Jun has no fucking clue who Houhua even IS so he literally has nothing he can say to explain this shit to calm Itachi down. And also does not care enough to even try to explain. And also Itachi is Itachi and isn't explaining why he himself is mad anyways so Jun has no fucking way of knowing why he's even mad. Or even telling that he is mad bc hes shit at reading people

(They are still standing next to eachother in dead silence)

Kisame comments on how whenever they're w Jun, Itachi is the most animated he's ever seen him. Very impressive work there Jun!

I do not think that Itachi would make a conscious plot to pretend to be in a relationship with Kisame. But I do think it'd be really fucking funny if Itachi, completely without thinking it through, blurts out that he's in a relationship w Kisame w some very vague (and possibly a little manic) only half-thought idea of making Houhua jealous.

Kisame is ???????? but doesn't argue bc Itachi is... probably going somewhere with this? Tho he doesn't understand where.......?

Itachi immediately regrets it (his face is still dead blank and unreadable, but he's screaming internally) but refuses to backtread bc that's embarrassing. He has never admitted to a mistake in his life, and he is not going to start here. (Kisame is going to RUTHLESSLY make fun of him for all of this later, and he will deserve it)

Itachi also blurted this out like. Totally unprompted and probably in the middle of a battle. No one (especially not Houhua) fucking asked. So Houhua, very very confused, goes "????? Good for you ???????? You still murdered our entire clan tho so um ?? I'm gonna keep fighting u? If thats ok?"

(No one in this conversation is leaving with their dignity intact)

I THINK ITD BE SUPER INTERESTING IF HE DID ACTUALLY? Hmm I might have to think ab that one. I wanna make sure all the mangekyou awakenings in this au are as heavy and significant as they really should be, yk? So idk if I'd wanna use Houhua's play dead jutsu for it, it'd feel a bit cheaper to me, just a bit. But then if I played it right ig it could be as heavy as it deserves. Mmmm, choices

Kabuto and Houhua are making direct eye contact going "I smell a rat in here and I KNOW it's not just me"

Once Shikaku realised that his son was in fact not hurt, he chuckled at the spectacle that lay before him. Who knew Shikamaru could still be so dramatic?

“You do realise that this is how normal children behave, right? That is Naras are the exception to the rule, and even then some of us aren’t quite so lazy. Ensui would rarely sleep during the day when he was this age… pain in the butt.”

Shikaku shifted his grip on Mirai and gently set her down, “How about you go and sleep and Mirai and I will spend some time together?”

Shikaku couldn’t contain his grin as he picked up his little granddaughter and hugged her tightly, “Don’t worry about that, little doe. It’s just a bit of flour.”

He frowned, however, as he approached the kotatsu.

“Son, are you alright? Do you need a healer?” He asked calmly, hoping not to worry Mirai.

@shikaku-the-nara said:

Shikaku trudged into the Nara family home covered in mud, dirt and bruises. The mission had lasted for close to three months, and he had barely made it out alive. The senior Shinobi knew that protocol stated he was to report to the Hokage as soon as he had returned to the village, but he was so damn sore and felt disgusting caked in filth.

He would have a shower and then report in, he decided. Dumping his bag on the living room floor, he went straight to the shower. He had no idea if Shikamaru was home, and if he was he hoped that his arrival hadn't woken him so early in the morning.

   He had fallen asleep just around three at night, like he had every night these past four weeks. Two weeks prior, it had been around 1:30 AM. But as time passed he’d grown more and more anxious which had left him unable to let his body and mind rest at all. 

   His eyes snapped open as he heard movement inside and the door shutting. Was it Ensui coming to check on him again? No. Not at this hour. Someone was clearly moving about as if in their own house. Someone felt at home.

   Shikamaru’s breath stuttered as he stared up at his ceiling. Tears of relief began to well out and tickled the side of his face as they made their way into his hair just above his ears.

   He got up, walked quietly down the hall to the bathroom and listened to the shower from inside. 

   He was home... He’s home. He’s alive and home. 

   Shikamaru bit his lip and paced back and forth in the hallway, went to the kitchen, walked around the living room and then back to restlessly wait for his father to finish, fiddling impatiently with Asuma’s old lighter the entire time. When the door finally opened, Shikamaru spun to face Shikaku, waited only half a second before he threw his arms over Shikaku’s shoulders and around his neck. 

   He didn’t say a word.

[babyybitchhh]

You know what, I take back what I said in my last post. Fuck Ogata.

Umanosuke looks like he came straight out of the Nara clan. He’s like some wildly sexy amalgamation of Shikaku, Shikamaru and Ensui all wrapped up in one with an eyepatch. I’m actually weak right now. I guess that’s just my type from here on out and I’m gonna have to live with that for the rest of my life. Fuck.
