[uchiha--hikaku]

Starter for @theredpalace

By amaterasus holy flame... No one had told him it would be getting this cold up here but what did he expect? Being properly prepared by his elders before getting sent up here? Yeah, sure. 'No Hikaku, a travel cloak should suffice' and now it felt as if a few of his toes had already froze off. The next thing was him doubting that the elders really had announced his arrival via that 'super official letter' they had sent, of course.

That is why every Samurai was giving him that wary look, gladly he was already trembling so at least he didn't obvious look as insecure as he felt on the inside.

As one of them approached him he was about to say that he was looking for Musashi Uchiha, one of his kin, but before he could even stutter a formal greeting, he was promptly ordered to follow. It was hard keeping up, since his legs have been screaming with pain for the last two days. Damn that cold!

First it got him feeling suspicious when he had been led to a dojo, being eyed by even more Samurai who already had their hands ready on their Katanas, prepared to draw them if Hikaku even much as made a threatening face. It was a little unnerving for him, because he mostly was used to being respected throughout the village, since he was one of the clans strongest. One of them disappeared inside, probably to announce his arrival he guessed and it took a few moments before he was allowed to step inside, the difference between the icy cold and the warmer Dojo making his fingertips burn.

He looked a complete mess as he stood before Musashi and Mifune, a confused look to those deep anthracite eyes before he gave a respectful bow. "I uhm." Clearing his throat to sound more clear before he spoke up again. "My name is Uchiha Hikaku. I was sent here by my clanelders to uh... Negotiate a few things.. which you know of, I hope?" Probably not, but who was he to believe they would hold true to their words.

@theredpalace sent a random ask:

(post-advancement to Chunin) "Ugh." Hahari held up the flak jacket, the symbol of maturity as a shinobi, with utter distaste. "Why does our promotion come with such a bland vest? It needs a total do-over!"

Sakura's eyes stare dreamily at the jacket she trained so much for, for the past years. Seeing her hand finally holding on to the piece of garment signifying her growth as a shinobi of the Leaf, it is hard to keep the smile from growing.

" Eh? What did you say, Hahari-chan? “ Sakura looks at her fellow pinkette, confused how come she doesn’t look as pleased, “ Mou, don’t tell me you will customise your flak jacket. Wait. Hang on...maybe. Hey, that is not a bad idea, isn’t it? “

Green eyes sparkle with excitement, memories of the fun times goofing around Hahari’s bedroom floods her mind at that moment, “ Ne, what kind of do-over do you have in mind? “

I’ve heard this story had a slow-burn romance, which is one of my favorite romance tropes in fantasy books! 😍 . . . h a s h t a g s : #theredpalace #junehur #fantasybooks #fantasyromance #romantasy #historicalfiction #yahistoricalfiction #yafantasy #youngadultbooks #yabookstagram #yabooks #bookishlove #booklover #booknerdigans #booknerds #beautifulbooks #exclusivebooks #smallmomentsofcalm #aestheticposts #aesthetics #hyggelife #annotatedbooks #bookannotations #cozybookstagram (at Weekend Vibes) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd1pp97O8eR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@theredpalace​ :

"You have the tastes of a designer ma'am." Shani said politely, nodding in agreement. "We most certainly can collaborate on something. All I need are your measurements and we can get to work on deciding fabrics and patterns."

“Er.. thank you,” Atria’s not one to accept compliments easily, especially when she knows her drawing is a little more than rough. “If it helps I have this--” She pulls out a long, golden chain decorated with moons and stars. The decorations occasionally spin.

“I want to use this as some type of decoration--maybe hanging off the belt? I think I would like a stiff fabric for the upper bodice and belt because--” She blushed a little, “But I want more moveable fabric for the skirts or bottom of the dress. I still want it to be weighted, so they don’t fly everywhere--”

  Finally, Hahari was pregnant again. No one besides him and her knew yet, even Momotaro was kept in a dark, because they both knew he would get so excited he would tell everyone about his new sibling. And today was the day they were about to tell Momotaro – and this way, to everyone else in Konoha too.

  The Hokage ordered a layered cake with strawberries, so Momotaro would be assured it’s good news. He also bought Gomo a toy and there were two gifts wrapped on the table, one for their son and another one for his wife.

  Lately, he has been happy, trying to live as peacefully as he could and somehow, it was working.

[whispersofdeceit]

@theredpalace​: Shani seems happy. "Your cooking is coming along nicely." She complimented, having started lessons only a month before. "It tastes wonderful."

    Oh, it did? That’s good...maybe he was more of a natural at this than being a shinobi...? No...well, maybe.

     “Th--thank you. Um...” He felt weird accepting the compliment when he knew he had a long way to go still. He wanted to perfect at least one dish before...y’know, presenting it to the person he liked.

[uchiha-madara]

@theredpalace asked:

Young Momotaro Senju, at twelve, looked big enough to be sixteen at least, with strength of someone thrice his age. "Madara-sensei-" He was a little puzzled, hefting a large weight on his back. "-what's this exercise supposed to be again?"

"Stamina training. Being able to use monstrous strength is good, but not any good at all if you can't keep it. I'm trying to teach you how to make your strength more reliable to you in battle."

It was essentially the same as wearing weights--but this was a little more in-depth, scaled for his strength specifically.

"Tired yet?"

[abyssaldespair]

Obito sighs. “You wouldn’t be ruining my chance, I would be ruining my chance to-EEH” He yelps in both surprise and pain as Musashi suddenly tugs at his leg, the movement stretching the wrong nerve and hurting his back. His phone is thrown aside on his bed, Obito flails to free himself and fall on his knees on the floor. 

“Don’t do that!” He urges in a high pitched voice, “I’m coming, alright?” That tug really hurt, his injuries are sensitive today... Which means he really doesn’t want to fight back, so he’ll do it. He’ll study. As much as he hates it, he’ll do it...

Lee nodded. He understood her perfectly. He often set himself almost impossible goals and tried to achieve them. Gai-sensei was his inspiration.

"I understand you perfectly! The more difficult tasks you set for yourself, the stronger you will become by completing them!"

Apparently, she was somewhat similar to him. It was interesting. Maybe he should try tightrope walking too?

"Then failure shouldn't discourage you. You should try again and again until you succeed. That's the key to success for a shinobi! My name is Rock Lee, by the way! What's your name?"

[i-minato-chan]

continued from here

Minato was under cover as a civilian, but that didn’t stop him from perusing the wares of the balcksmiths he passed. Thier work was exquisite, and something about the steady clang of metal on metal was... relaxing, maybe? It spoke to Minato about patience, and determination, and craftsmanship honed over years and decades of ceaseless practice. The masks confirmed as much, an endless variety of fearsome creatures both real and imaginary, but all of the highest quality.

The hustle and bustle of activity made those on no errand stand out, so Minato made a point of ducking in and out of shops, haggling with merchants, and making it look as if he was going somewhere with a purpose. To that end, he ended up with a knife forged by an apprentice as a practice blade - perfectly serviceable, but nothing to look at - which he then dropped off to be sharpened at a different smith’s.

And then he saw the woman. The striking pattern of her clothing made it obvious she was his contact, but Minato retained a certain degree of wariness. Fleeing was an option, always, but it would jeopardise the rest of his mission.

“Good afternoon.” He said as he approached. “Perfect weather to visit a teahouse, don’t you think?”

[historias-multorum]

Tsukimi: "I want a baby... Musashi's baby." (To Madara, remember theredpalace's Musashi, his son with Hahari? 😆)

Send 'I want a baby' to see how my muse reacts

Plotted starter @theredpalace

The forlorn mood surrounding the streets of Konoha hangs in the air hours after the last flower offering has been laid upon the tombstone of the late Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But for a pinkette, the heavy feeling lies way beyond the fact they are now a village without a leader. It was all because of the simple reminder how easy it is to lose someone monumental in one's life as they live the life of a shinobi.

A sigh, followed by determined footsteps taking her towards the possible location of someone she hasn't spoken to in years.

“Hahari-chan, can we talk? Now?”

[eclipsedsun1989]

Momotaro was in awe of the tall Uchiha in armor before him and waved hello. "Wow! Are you tou-chan's best friend?!"

“Huh?” Madara turned around with surprised expression just to find out tiny child. Tou-chan’s…? For a second, he was confused. And then it hit him.

“Are you Hashirama’s br… boy?” He asked with visible fear. “What are you doing here?! In the middle of battlefield?!”

SPARKLE ✨ samuraiisms

@samuraiisms // put a sparkle in my inbox and let me tell u how great u are

Let me start with Hahari and Shani. Because I initially followed @theredpalace first all those years ago and--I'm so very happy I did. I really enjoyed how you write them and how flexible you are with your au/different thread types--and how you were able to incorporate two very different women into a shinobi system peacefully. Which was part of my inspiration with astra--

And then we had Musashi-- which he's our boy. Best boy. He's tough on the outside but has a soft interior which you capture--it's easy to just make characters like him one-dimensional but you keep him well-rounded enough to make him believable. And that trait, my friend, is dangerous.

To do so takes a writer that knows their muses inside and out--someone who has given so much thought and put so much effort into them, given them polish to make them shine.

And now @samuraiisms , with Mifune.

You've taken a character with very little lore, very little backstory and given him a rich wealth of personality, likes, dislikes, mannerisms--and made him tangible. So real. You write him so well that I think that I prefer your canon to the one that was given to us--one where you've taken traditional aspects of their lives and made it into who they were, are and going to be and that's difficult to do. Not only do you explain who he is but you're able to navigate the culture you've created in the land of iron quite masterfully while showing how (sometimes) difficult it is for Mifune, who struggles with his desire to be honorable and traditional but also be progressive in a way that will move his home forward.

The flavor? immaculate.
