Four more parts remain after this... I'm hoping that I won't get delayed since I'm going to see if I can get my keyboard fixed tomorrow...

Hakuoki x Sengoku Night Blood Crossover - A Fleeting Vision A Fortuitous Meeting with a Samurai Episode 1: In the Mist/Fog

Translation by KumoriYami

——This was all so confusing.

I had been on patrol with the Shinesngumi when they got into a fight with some ronin. As staying would have caused them problems, I had just been about to move away when I had been engulfed in a dazzling light.

I don't know if I had lost consciousness, but when I opened my eyes again, I was lying alone in a strange place.

Yamzaki: Yukimura-kun!

Just as I got up, Yamazaki-san ran towards me…

Shortly after——we went to the place where Okita-san and the others were fighting a group of what were known as "Yakuma."

Amidst the cheers celebrating the end of the fight with the Yakuma, I suppressed my growing unease as I asked a question.

Yukimura: Can you tell me more about Shinga——!?

Okita: Hey, Chizuru-chan. What are you doing over there?

Okita-san smiled as he came into view——but his eyes weren't smiling. I knew thta he was on guard against the unfamiliar woman next to me.

Yukimura: Okita-san.

Okita: Anyway, let's head back to everyone else first.

Heronine: U-Um...

Yukimura: In any case, I'm fine now. Thank you for saving me.

I thanked the woman who had gone out of her way to help me, even though she had been in danger herself. It looked like she wanted to say something, but Okita-san grabbed my hand and pulled me away.

Okita: Do you know what’s going on right now? You seem pretty calm.

Yukimura: I'm also not calm too, um, can you let go of my hand...

Okita: I’m holding onto you so you don't do something unnecessary again. Or are you going to give me an order?

Yukimura: I, I don't plan on doing that...

With a casual scoff in response, Okita-san let go of my hand. His face was however still filled with dissatisfaction.

Okita: Forget it. Hey, you didn't say anything about us, did you?

Yukimura: Of course not. I didn't say a word about the Shinsengumi.

Okita: That's good. Given how unclear the circumstances are right now, I hope you’ll be more careful about what you say and do. You also value your life, right?

Yukimura:...I understand.

Okita-san must have been caring for me in his own way, so I obediently replied to him.

Okita:...Good. In any case, I've warned you, and now we need to figure out how to deal with the ones over there.

Okita-san cast his gaze over.

I turned my head to follow his gaze. Although two groups of people had fought together against those Yakuma just now, and while their blades were sheathed, there was an unstable air flowing around them. The monsters called Yakuma had been defeated, but as long as they drew their swords now, the tips of their blades would easily reach the other.

Because of this tense atmosphere, I felt like my heart had been caught in my throat.

Okita: Yosh, foolishly standing around won't resolve this issue, so let's go everyone.

Yukimura:...Okay.

After I followed Okita-san, as we approached the Shinsengumi, Harada-san noticed me first.

Harada: Chizuru!? Are you alright?

Upon hearing his voice, everyone looked at me and Okita-san.

Toudou: You're alright, that's great!

Yukimura: I'm fine. No one got hurt, right?

Toudou: We're perfectly fine, don't worry.

Harada: Nn. Rather than that, the more important questions are where is this and who they are.

Hearing this basic question from Harada-san, everyone shut their mouths. I was about tell everyone what tht woman had told me, but just as I was about to open my mouth——

Saito: There's still too little information available to make any conclusions. We should meet up with the Vice-Commander first.

Yukimura: U-Um…! I have something I want to tell everyone!

Amakasu Kagemochi: Excuse me, please don't be so hostile, I'm not going to come any closer.

Seeing the other person's seemingly gentle smile, Harada-san and Heisuke-kun stopped in front of him. at the same time, the everyone from the Shinsengumi, as if by prior agreement, put their hands onto the hilts of their swords. In the increasingly murderous atmosphere, his smile only looked chilling…

Harada: Although you look like you have something to say to us, so what is it exactly?

Amakasu Kagemochi: You don't look like people from this area. Where did you come from, and what is your purpose… can you tell me that?

Toudou: How can you tell we’re from somewhere else?

Amakasu Kagemochi:...Your question is already the answer. If you knew that this was Uesugi territory, why would you take such brazen actions?

Kakizaki Kageie: Kagemochi, there is no need to ask questions, why don't you just arrest them.

Amakasu Kagemochi: That would be too reckless. They defeated the Yakuma, that should be at least be considered as protecting the people in our domain. Though it doesn't seem.... like that was intentional.

The man in charge of these negotiations’ lips curled into a smile.

Harada-san and Heisuke-kun slowly stepped back to negotiate.

Harada: Hey, what should we do? It seems like if this continues, we'll get arrested.

Okita: If they want to arrest us, they'll be enemies, right? In that case, then it's fine to cut them down, right?

Yukimura: O-Okita-san...! They can hear all of that.

In the midst of this simmering tension, I couldn't help but raise my voice at Okita-san, who was being too careless.

Okita: What a pain, woulddn't bit be easier to just cut everyone down?

Saito: No, we should retreat for now, and go join up with the Vice-Commander and the others who were separated.

Okita: Even if that person isn't here, wee'll be just fine.

Yamazaki: That would be fine if this was Kyoto… in this unfamiliar place, it would be inadvisable to recklessly start a fight.

Toudou: What! This isn't Kyoto?

Okita: It seems so. Heisuke, you're too slow.

Touddou: Shut up. I noticed that a long time ago!

Harada: But even if you say that you're going to look for Hijikata-san, there's no guarantee that he's nearby, right?

Saito: That’s why we should act more carefully right now.

Okita: Alright, alright, I get it.

Saito: Yamazaki, can you go check around and see if the Vice-Commander and the others are nearby.

Yamazaki: Understood. After findding the Vice-Commndderthen I'll join up with you.

If I were to explain things, that would instead cause everyone confusion. While I listened to everyone talk, listening to everyone's conversation, I also considered that.

Toudou: Chizuru, don't be so disappointed! No matter what happens, I will… we'll protect you!

Yukimura: Y-Yes… Thank you, Heisuke-kun.

Harada: Then, let's run away first... Let's go!

Harada-san took a stance with his spear——he just made a feint, and then we turned around and ran.

Naoe Kanetsugu: Aahh! They ran away!!

Uesugi Kagekatsu:...Father, are we going to chase them?

Uesugi Kenshin: No, it's not necessary. Kagemochi also understood that, so he let them go.

Heroine: Eh...

Amakasu Kagemochi: Did you see everything?

Contrary to Kageie-san. who was upset, Kagemochi-san came back with a bitter smile.

Kakizaki Kageie: What were you thinking! Now those suspicious people will be wanddering all over the territory!?

Amakasu Kagemochi: Although the possibility of them being spies cannot be ruled out, their genuine confusion of who we are was worrying.

Heroine: Does Kagemochi-san feel the same way?

Naoe Kanetsugu: Hey, what does tht mean? Do you know something?

Heroine: Maybe they're from another world like me… I got that feeling when I spoke to the woman.

Uesugi Kagekatsu: The same… as you...?

Despite how there was no conclusive evidence, I spoke of what Yukimura had told me——

Uesugi Kenshin: We met them when trying to find the Himemiko…. I can't think that the both of them aren't related.

Heroine:...Hey, Imari-kun, does Himemiko-sama know about this?

Imari: No, no/they aren't/don't. I don't know anything… perhaps Himemiko-sama is the only one who knows.

Heroine: Is that so...

In the end, only Himemiko-sama knew all of the answers.

Naoe Kanetsugu: However, as long as they might have come from another world, there might be a clue for us to find the Himemiko.

Uesugi Kagekatsu: Ah, so that's wwhy Kagemochi-san let them go...?

Amakasu Kagemochi:...Is that how it is? But I do actually want to leave them alone for now.

Everyone wryly laughed because that was response was very much in Kagemochi-sama's style. However, I didn't think they held any clues that would lead us to Himemiko-sama.

Heroine: (In that case, is she like me, a "woman from another world"? Someone that Imari-kun can rely on...?)

While in the midst of this situation full of unsolved mysteries, Kagekatsu-kun gently pulled my sleeve.

Uesugi Kagekatsu: Hey.... are they all from the same world as you?

Heroine: No, it doesn't seem to be the same as mine.

Uesugi Kagekatsu: I see... but it would be nice if we could find a way back with them… [not sure if this more in the 'you can find a way back home', or 'we can send them home' context)

Heroine: Yes...

Uesugi Kenshin: Kagekatsu, Kanetsugu.

Naoe Kanetsugu: Here.

Uesugi Kagekatsu:……Here.

Uesugi Kenshin: Go after those people and offer them assistance. If they want to talk, bring them back to the town.

Kakizaki Kageie: Kenshin-sama...! Are you going to leave these suspicious people alone?

Uesugi Kenshin: If they truly are messengers of the Himemiko, then we must protect them. That's all I have to say.

After Kagekatsu-kun and the others received Kenshin-san's orders, they immediately set off into action.

Yoichi and Shigehira Sequel Cute moments - Part 1

Shigehira: "I couldn't have done it if Yoichi-san hadn't supported me! He deserves all the credit, not me!"

Yoichi: "Stop whining and accept people's compliments sometimes! It wouldn't hurt! That's why you're such a baby!"

Shigehira: "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BABY!?"

Yoshino and the soldiers: *sigh*

???: "YOSH! It's time to celebrate!"

Shigehira, Yoichi and all the soldiers: "What the!?"

Yoshino: *blushing*

Morinaga (Half-naked): "The 4 Brawny Men will celebrate your victory!"

Morinaga (Half-naked): "I---Adachi Morinaga!"

Benkei (Half-naked): "I---Mushashibo Benkei."

Ibuki (Half-naked): "I don't even know why I am here but these two forced me to take off my clothes so yeah....I----Shuten Doji Ibuki."

Kurama (Half-naked): "I---the King Of All Brawny Men, Kurama."

Ibuki(Half-naked): "Don't add unnecessary titles."

Yoichi: "What's going on here? Why are you four half-naked?"

Shigehira: "What is this 4 Brawny Men?"

Benkei: "I took off my clothes to wipe my sweat and then I saw Morinaga doing the same thing, next to me."

Morinaga: "I thought it was fate and also asked Kurama and Ibuki to join us."

Yoshino (blushing): "That doesn't explain anything...."

Kurama: "Stupid woman."

Ibuki: "Don't overthink. Just feel it."

(F-F-Feel....?)

Yoichi: "Yes yes. That's enough, you'll give her a nosebleed. Don't take them too seriously, Yoshino."

Yoichi: "Whatever it is, I can't believe that Benkei, who is always serious, would take part in something like this."

Benkei: "This will benefit the relationship between the three forces. Also...."

Benkei: "You lazy bastard. You always skip meetings and trainings to sleep. It's time I get my revenge on you."

Yoichi: "Hey! Don't take advantage of this opportunity to take out your daily grudges."

Both Morinaga-san and Benkei approached Shigehira-kun and Yoichi-san.

Both Shigehira-kun and Yoichi-san awkwardly stepped back.

Morinaga: "It's time for World's First Ever Brawny Palanquin!"

Morinaga-san and Benkei picked up both Shigehira-kun and Yoichi-san.

Morinaga: "Come on, Ibuki. Kurama. Let's make the Brawny Palanquin together!"

Ibuki: "Why do I have to do so much physical labor?"

Kurama: "Why must I carry someone one other than Yoshitsune?"

(As long as it's Yoshitsune-sama, he's fine, huh?)

Benkei: "We're straight going to the banquet hall."

Morinaga: "We all decided to prepare a victory feast for you two, as one big happy family."

Morinaga: "I have also prepared sake from the Shogunate's very own brewery."

Kurama: "Sake? Why didn't say that first?"

Ibuki: "The Shogunate's own brewery, huh? Not bad, not bad."

Both Ibuki and Kurama joined to carry Yoichi-san and Shigehira-kun.

Kurama: "Haa...this is too slow."

Kurama, in annoyance, spreads his wings.

Shigehira: "Ah! I'm gonna fall!"

Benkei: "You idiot! Don't fly on your own."

Kurama: "I can't keep up with your movements like insects crawling on the ground."

Yoichi: "Woah! If you fly from one side, the whole palanquin thing will slant on one side, and we will fall on top of each other."

Morinaga: "That's okay. Yoichi and Shigehira can support each other!"

Ibuki: "Such a beautiful way to help each other out, isn't it?"

Shigehira and Yoichi: *awkward*

The two men, who were about to fall off, hugged each other awkwardly.

At the same time...

Tamamo (Confused): "I brought the sake you asked for and.....what the hell is going on over there?"

Sueharu (Faceplams): "Probably one of their most embarrassing nightmares coming to live."

Along with Tamamo and Sueharu, the others were also standing besides them.

Yoshitsune (expressionless): ".......That looks fun."

Kagetoki (Serious face): "I see that you too have unique taste. What about you?"

Akihito ((◕‿◕)): "I'd rather ride in a regular palanquin."

Yasuchika (Very serious): "Of course! Akihito-sama will not be carried on such a barbaric-looking palanquin."

Yoritomo (⌒‿⌒): "Do whatever you want and however you want, but please bring those two to the banquet as soon as possible."

All the soldiers: " YES!!!"

Both Shigehira-kun and Yoichi-san gave up resisting and were finally put down in the banquet hall.

Shattered Hero ~ Origins of the Ink Demon: Episode Maka Pt. 15~

[Soleanna ~ Forest - Mariko Nanba]

Winry : Yosh! I win again!

Lan Fan : Ah nuts! You win again, Rockbell! You bested me again.

Mei Chang : Yeah, girl. You just realized that this is the sport or game that we are playing. We're playing Toe Wrestling aren't we?

Riza Hawkeye : And tell me why we are doing the Soles wrestling to see who's best at wrestling toes, this is much weirder than any kind of wrestling?

Major Armstrong : Not to worry that much. I do any kind of wrestling, and besides I doing arm wrestle with Edward's teacher.

(WHAM!)

Major Armstrong : SWEET JAMBA JUICE! MY HAND!

Winry : And what about Edward doing the thumb wrestling thing?

Lan Fan : Oh yeah! I know someone who does a little bit of thumb wrestling.

Ling Yao : Ow! Ow! Ow! Let go of my thumb, man! You're hurting me! I'm tapping out! I'm tapping out!

Lan Fan : Nah. I'm just sticking to this kind of form of wrestling. That's why this sport was originated from a flirting game that everyone plays.

Winry : On the contrary, that's a sexual attraction, not to mention it. But I do know that I have been the winner of the Toe Wrestling championship. I hold the title as "the First Automail mechanic to ever be a Toe Wrestling champion". Pretty cool, huh? I win Toe Wrestling every day, and I was king of it all! Nothing says about my soles being that quite strong.

Lan Fan : How did you excatly make your soles way stronger.

Winry : Well, perhaps, I did some yoga when I as the age of this, I used my toes to go tippy-toes on it. Get it, "Tippy-toes"? Like I was standing on one feet at a time and I also did some push-ups, without my sandals on!

Lan Fan : Heh, you're kinda funny by the way. But if you really think that you're the the first automail mechanic as Toe Wrestling champion, I won the achievements of as "the First Xing Mercenary to ever be a Toe Wrestling champion". And therefore, my soles are vicious predators at night and they contain the most ancient forms of sole wrestling. Once, I used meditation and one step on my toes, and that's reason that I am famous.

Mei Chang : So does mine. They are the strongest type, so what if I'm ready to take the next challenge.

Winry : Alright! You insist! The first one to win the Toe-Wrestling is the winner!

Lan Fan : You're on, Rockbell. Let's get to it!

(scene flips)

Winry : What!? Ahh, you bested my soles, Lan Fan! No one in the world would ever beat me in a Toe Wrestling battle!

Lan Fan : I told you, my soles are the deadliest forms in all of toe wrestling, Soles or no soles, I get to win.

Winry : Well, I'm getting the last laugh. Alright, let's go again!

[BOOM!]

Winry : Uhh, Lan Fan? Did your feet just even stomped to the ground and cause an earthquake?

Lan Fan : Uhh, that's not my feet that is stomping to the ground.

Winry : Then what's with the--

[BOOM!]

[Zakat - Toshiyuki Kakuta]

Darkside (?) : ELRIC BROTHERS! I'VE COME BACK TO GET MY REVENGE!

Edward Elric: Oh no! Shou Tucker! The most hated characters has been turned into a heartless! AKA, the worst father known to man!

Scar : Damn! So he turned into a heartless? I see.

Darkside (Shou Tucker) : Hahahahaha! That's right fools, after I was killed by that guy wearing shades, I have the rights to have my heart swallowed by the darkness, and with that, I will get my revenge on you two state-alchemists!

Edward Elric : Not if after what you did Nina and her dog, everyone in the world will never forgive, even the Black Arms leader thinks that he's a dick to the people of Mobius, including the robotniks!

Darkside (Shou Tucker) : Oh, that? Fair enough. If Arakawa that she created the most controversial character to known man, this proves that I will unleash the power of Darkness to have your lives ruined!

Winry : Oh yeah?! Then just go back to hell, Shou f**ker!

Darkside (Shou Tucker) : Then you can all go to hell, without me!

Winry : Yeah, I don't think so! But not today, Shou F**ker! Here comes video game logic! Ready, Lan Fan!

Lan Fan : Ready! (both eats a mega mushroom and to enlarges their selves)

Winry : You think you can that you can easily defeat us in that kind of form? Heh! You may have bested the keyblade wielders, but you haven't bested the world's greastest sole fighter in all of humanity! I'm the first automail mechanic to fight barefoot and that is why we call it earthing on the ground!

Darkside (Shou Tucker) : I should've known that by now!

*DBZ SFX : LIGHT SHINING*

Darkside (Shou Tucker) : That light! coming from underneath, what's that!?

Winry : It's the power of light, baby. And you know it that creatures like you aren't the ones that are interested any girls that are barefooted all the time.

Lan Fan : But this will make yourself going back to hell!

Darkside (Shou Tucker) : Oh! Dang fetishes!

*DBZ SFX : STRONG KICK+EXPLOSION*

Winry : The light within our soles can really kick your ass!

Lan Fan : Huh! That's should finally putting you back in to your own place.

Darkside (Shou Tucker) : Why did ever deserve this by the likes of you girls!? (disappears into nothingness)

(Winry and Lan Fan shrinks back to their normal sizes)

Winry : Hey, I'm back to my normal size!

Lan Fan : Me too! I just don't know what happened when our soles were shining from the light underneath us. Some women just like to go barefooted all the time during earthing.

Edward Elric : Thank goodness, Winry! You just kicked that heartless butt without your sandals and used your "bare soles" to knock that guy back into hell! How on earth did you do it!?

Winry : Basically, it's a mystery Edward and I bet you won't even know it.

(scene later cuts)

Winry : Now that you mentioned it from earlier before, why did the light shined on my soles like that? Is there a reason what's so special about not wearing sandlas or shoes. I think there might an answer on how did our soles managed to use the power of light? I'm getting weird facts that powerful soles don't exist, but it's actually true. We did destroyed the heartless of Shou Tucker when my sole was in enlightenment. This is power in our soles is just weird, can't seem to feel anything. But where does the light coming from my feet? If that matters.

Lan Fan : No dice, no light. But I get the feeling that the light in my sole shines brighter than the sun. I wonder if we destroyed when light and darkness is coming from our soles underneath. Sounds like a mystery of having a weird supernatural ability that is used by our soles behind.

Mei Chang : You're bight about that. When there's darkness and light from within in the soles, they shine a greater power than before. You've known being barefooted is not the only thing that I'm interested at. When we don't know that whether we wear something, we found that our "Soles" can be used as weapons to defeat the evil, that's why I trained meditation and did a little earthing after you guys. Promise that we make take care of our feet, just don't make Arakawa get the fans a little "pervy" about it. And I have one question about it. You sure that Edward's leg doesn't have athlete's foot.

Winry : ....Umm, Mei? *Angry vein* For the last and 412th time...*RUMBLING* (yelling) THE NEW LEG THAT I MADE FOR HIM IS MADE OF METAL, YOU IDIOT!

Mei Chang : Oh...Whoops! My mistake.

Winry : Even though, after a horrible accident that Edward made the ultimate taboo, It only costs him an arm and a leg that would eventually the steep price to pay.

[PigeonBlood OST : Discretion]

Winry : Ever since that since fated incident between two countries, Maka Albarn was mistaken for being a villain as the world turned against her. The inhabitants of Soul World treated the one who framed her as a slave to Shinra's kind. She was then founded by the Mobian Death God Grim and imprisoned at a room in Hang Castle, prior to given herself a 10 year sentence in the castle. Three years later, Grim had to release her when they are strange occurrences going on over in the year 2006. Bad things started to happen and when things changed, everything will never be the same. So that's why we just gotta move on, and face the fact that who or what killed my parents on that tragic day. But that all changed when I finally realized that revenge is not the answer!

Lan Fan : ...Lan Fan....CHOP!

*BAM+BOING!*

Winry : Sorry! I meant to say that Revenge is a dish best served cold and is also even not the right answer.

Lan Fan : That's better.

Winry : So, Lan Fan. Do you think we could ever be trusted that knowing that our Soles might have light and darkness?

Lan Fan : That's your call. I both have the light and the Darkness within my soles, but yours have the light within them, aren't you? Of course, as a matter of my appreciation, I trust you.

Winry : That's good to hear.

News Anchor : Once again in our top story news! Kamek the Magikoopa who disguised himself as the Meister Ox Ford, who is running around at three stormy areas, Stormy Cushy Cloud, Final Fortress, and F-Zero's Lightning area with Harvar D Eclair's true killers! All citizens of Real World must evacute the three remaining areas. We repeat : All citizens of Real World AU must evacute the three remaining...

Winry : The ones who killed that Shikimaru wannabe! They're at the stormy areas! The Final Fortress was the part of the crime incident caused by Metal Sonic around three years ago! We gotta get there on time and stop that crazy magician from running rampant!

Lan-Fan : Come on, Winry! We don't need our shoes without a proper fight. The one solution to fight against evil, with the amazing powers from our soles!

Winry : Yeah! Let's defeat the evil with our soles!

"It'll be just like the Devil's Foortprints."

"The word Devil is the codename to the oldest hero, Shinra."

"Our soles have never been this blessed by it's wisdom."

Random Boss Monster: now that I have your changers, all of you are powerless against me.

Tametomo: *whispers* Remember the plan okay, Juuru, Fire?

Juuru: *nods*

RBM: What are you two whispering about?!

Tametomo: C'mon man, he may be our red, but he's still a kid.

Tametomo: I'm just comforting him like a teammate would.

Juuru: Tame-kun?

Tametomo: Yosh, yosh, we're going to be alright, Juuru.

RBM: Ha! scared red! Now I've seen everything!

RBM: Comfort him all you want, soon your teammates will be captured in no time.

Tametomo: You're not going to get away with this.

RBM: I already have.

--sometime later---

Juuru: *draws on sketchbook*

RBM: *confiscates sketchbook*

Juuru: Tame-kun... He... he took my sketchbook.

Tametomo: Fine we admit, the two of us might be goners,

Tametomo: You have a strong chance of winning against everyone

Tametomo: Could you make it easier for the kid to cope?.

RBM: humph, fine, enjoy your last hours living. *throws back the sketchbook*

--sometime later---

RBM: Looks like your teammates also saw the futility of fighting back.

RBM: And they say you defeated the Yodom Empire, laughable.

RBM: I was right and those were mere exagerrations.

RBM: Hmm, who shall I take.

Tametomo: What? You're taking one of us there?

RBM: Assurance that all four of the remaining Kiramagers are there.

RBM: And if they're not, well one of you is going to die faster than anticipated.

RBM: Hmmm

Tametomo: Take me!

Juuru: Tame-kun! No!

Tametomo: It's fine, okay Juru, everything will be fine.

RBM: Cease comforting a doomed kid.

RBM: He'll meet you soon enough after he's dead.

---in a different location---

Sena: Tametomo!

RBM: Not so fast girly!

RBM: Your changers first.

RBM: Faster...

RBM: or else *proceeds to strike at Tametomo, tearing off a majority of his shirt.*

Sayo: No!

Takamichi: This is bad, what do we do?

Shiguru: What about Juru?

RBM: Oh your scaredy red?

RBM: He's back there *points to where he and Tametomo came from* he's had to be comforted for his looming death.

RBM: Come on, your changers

*suddenly a huge trapezoidal weight that has "100 tons" written on it, fell on the monster, followed by blocks of ice.

RBM: Wha-

Tametomo: *kicks the monster's feet, knocking him down before they were joined by Juuru.

Juuru: Tame-kun!

Tametomo: Its fine, Juuru, nice save.

Juuru: It was your plan.

Juuru: Here. *hands changer*

RBM: How?!

Tametomo: We knew you didn't have complete information on us, the Kiramagers.

Tametomo: You thought we were the easiest sentai team to beat and use us as a way intimidate or make the other sentai teams or make them lose rational thinking for killing us in anger

Tametomo: But you didn't know of our many aces we keep hidden.

Juuru: and we have no intention of informing you this time.

Mabushina: *from Mashin Zabyun* Good luck, everyone!

Juru: Let's go everyone!

Kiramagers: KIRAMEI CHANGE!

*one monster beatdown later*

Emu: You're lucky that you only gained a scratch, Tametomo-kun.

Emu: But why call me?

Juuru: Sayo-san has a surgery in a few hours and we wanted to make her rest.

Emu: I see.

Emu: Since you only garnered a scratch, there's no need to bandage you, but do call me if you feel uncomfortable.

You should make this into an actual fanfic you know XD

[purple-possibilities]

Hi, love your blog!! (Don't usually reblog because my blog isn't really for anime, but I love seeing you on my dash!) Just wanted to let you know that I've got all the people I'm working with today (as in, I don't know any of these people and will never see them again) (we're setting up tables) to scream "THE POWER OF YOUTH!!" every time we lift a table. The best part? All of them are literal grandmas. I hope Gai is proud of me.

Hey! Firstly, thanks so much, that’s really sweet of you to say. I’m glad to hear that!

Secondly, (and more importantly) OH MY GOD THAT IS AMAZING! That’s on my bucket list now. I can just imagine how hilarious and amazing that would be to watch/be apart of. Gai is so sooo proud of you, in fact, I can hear him now…

“YYYYYYOSH! It is one thing to hear that a group of Lovely Lotus Blossoms are Working Hard Together—despite being total strangers—to complete a most Youthful Mission, but”—Gai’s voice warbles as Tears of Youth start pouring from his eyes—“to hear”—he chokes up a bit—“that they employed”—his voice gains strength, and he practically booms out—“THE POWER OF YOUTH”—Gai is rapidly striking various poses, unable to choose which is most Youthful, tears still streaming down his cheeks—“TO MOTIVATE ONE ANOTHER, AND TO CELEBRATE AND DEMONSTRATE THAT EVEN GRANDMOTHERS CAN STILL BE IN THE PEAK OF THE SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH, IS THE MOST DAZZLING, SPECTACULAR, AND YOUTHFUL DEMONSTRATION I HAVE EVER HEARD OF! YOSH!!!” Gai finally settles on his Good Gai Pose, one hand on his hip, the other brandishing a thumbs-up like a trophy, while behind him blooms a glorious sunset over a beach, complete with fireworks in the shape of lotus flowers and the word ‘YOUTH’ exploding in the illusion’s sky. Gai turns swiftly towards Lee, who is similarity moved by the news and inflamed with passion from Gai’s speech. “LEE! TAKE NOTE!!”

Lee rapidly scrambles to pull out his notebook and pen, finding them with ease despite the excited trembling affecting his entire body. With the items in his hands, Lee snaps his feet together and pumps out an almost violent salute, bellowing, “YES, GAI-SENSEI!!!” before slamming his pen onto a clean page and scribbling down both the story and Gai-sensei’s reaction—a small drawing of Gai’s chosen genjutsu being outlined to be coloured in later. Gai’s arm juts out, looping around his youthful student’s shoulders and jerking the boy into his side to check that Lee’s notes are appropriate.

“LEE! As always, your Youthful Enthusiasm Alights my Heart with enough Passion to Pump Out One-Thousand Push-Ups right Here and Now.” Gai’s words cause Lee’s pen to pause as a wide grin splits his face, a red flush blooming on his cheeks all the way up to his ears and down his neck to disappear under his Green Jumpsuit. “However,” Gai continues, a tad somber, “you have Missed the Point of our Youthful Muse’s Actions.”

Lee’s elation has dimmed—his posture slumping slightly—but not his enthusiasm. Always the eager student, and never deterred when being corrected, Lee’s back snaps straight, his body fully turned to face his sensei, hands (still clutching his notebook and pen) balled under his chin. Bowing his head, Lee’s voice is contrite despite his volume as he utters a most heartfelt apology, tacking on the familiar plea, “PLEASE TEACH ME, GAI-SENSEI!!!”

Gai, with a proud smirk on his face for his student’s excellent work ethic and unbreakable determination, affects his Lecturing Pose: one finger pointed skywards, the other hand on his hip, his head titled high and his eyes closed thoughtfully (it was hard working that one out in the mirror—not even Gai can see through closed eyes, despite how much he’s tried—but Lee’s continued, reverent response to this Pose is always reassuring). “Our Most Youthful Muse’s actions were the Perfect Demonstration of the Springtime of Youth in Action, that is Certain.” Gai’s Lecturing Voice is still booming, but manages to be soft on the edges. “However, taking note of that will only help you in one situation. What’s most Important, is to understand the Lesson—as my Hip and Too Cool Rival would say—Underneath the Underneath.” Gai pauses dramatically, and all that can be heard is the frantic scribble of Lee’s pen.

“You see,” Gai continues, “Life is known for throwing us into Unexpected Situations—that is doubly so, for the life of a ninja—but how we react in those Situations is what defines who we are as people. Our Youthful Muse was faced with a Worthy Mission, to be sure, but surrounded by unknowns. Instead of letting that be intimidating, our Muse found a way to not only Transform said Mission into an Exciting Challenge, but also managed to Create New Bonds and inspire the Power of Youth in all who were present. Our Muse is a Shining Example of how the Springtime of Youth is not merely a phase, or a Way of Life, but a State of Mind. It is the Will to take on anything with Passion and Hard Work, to make the Most of any Situation! It can Bloom in us all, regardless of our age, or how Tough a Challenge!”

Gai takes a moment to peek out from one eye to check on his student. Tears of Youth are streaming down Lee’s face, so overwhelmed is he by Gai’s passionate words of wisdom. Despite those tears, Lee is still diligently taking notes—even if they were more like messy scribbles, due to the excitement still causing shudders to overtake his body, and his blurred vision. Gai feels the Pride that is always present whenever he looks at his students Bloom once more, the intensity of the feeling almost overwhelming him—almost, because Konoha’s Noble Green Beast was never overwhelmed, simply Challenging his Limits.

Content with his student, Gai is ready to present the moral of his lesson.

“It is this same Ethos that manages to Enflame even my Cool Blooded Eternal Rival—and my own Youthful Self, of course—allowing us to make any Task or Mission a Worthy Rival Challenge! From Janken to Drink—ah, ahem—Eating Contests, to Races and Spars! Our Muse has seen what only the most Sage Lotuses can See: that Life is merely a series of Worthy Challenges set before us. And, by using the Power of Youth, not only will our Springtime be ever Blossoming, but our Friends, Comrades, and even strangers, will be Swept Up in the Fragrant Flowers of our Youthful Spirits, setting Fire to the Blood and Bringing People from all walks of Life Together in the most Beautiful Display of Harmony!” Gai is crying again, and Lee, so overwhelmed with emotion, can no longer focus on his writing.

“GAI-SENSEI!” Lee calls, one arm covering his eyes in an attempt to stop the stream of tears.

“LEE!” Gai’s arms spread open.

“GAI-SENSEI!” Lee launches himself into Gai’s arms.

“LEE!” The pair embrace, squishing their faces together, their tears mingling, a sunset blooming behind them, cherry blossoms billowing delicately in the illusion’s wind.

“And that, Lee, my wonderful student,” Gai adds, his voice nasally from crying, “is the Pinnacle of what it means to Celebrate the Springtime of Youth.”

“T-thank you, for the Lesson, Gai-sensei!” Lee sputters through his tears.

Gai puffs up with pride once more, content in the knowledge that not only is his youthful student well on the path to Eternal Youth, but that others—even those he has never met—are taking these lessons to heart, and spreading the Joy and Energy of the Springtime of Youth with the world.

Yeah, I think he’s proud 😜
