Yukiko Reference sheet : Shippuden (2024)
「 NARUTO SHIPPUDEN | YUKIKO NAKAMURA 」
Yukiko was now married to Aiizen, Lord Nakamura, who expressed the urge to get an heir for the Kekkai Genkai to stay in the clan. She knew he would use their children like weapons for his conquest. With the help of the clan's Dean, she escaped the Land of Iron and hid in Konoha.
Ino warned Gaara of her presence. Yukiko told everyone her husband was dead, and refused to elaborate. It was easier this way. Ino was disappointed to see that Yukiko wasn't the witty confident girl she used to be, and could not imagine the traumas she was withholding.
Yukiko decided to search for her "brother" Tiago and her mother's clan. It was a great distraction to avoid facing her grief. Gaara accompanied her, pretexting to have a diplomatic event to attend in the Land of Iron anyway.
He quickly figured Aizen was still alive and that her lie was hiding an even uglier truth. It was comforting for her to cling to the idea that once she found her people everything would be alright. But when she found them and Tiago she was quickly confronted with the reality: they were not her people, to them she was the enemy like every Nakamura.
But trying to prove she was nothing like them she hurt the people around her, like a Nakamura. She ended up embracing her identity as "The Queen of Thorns". There was no escaping her fate. What she had to do was to vanquish her husband and be a better leader than him.
If her relationship with Gaara in part 1 was giving him the space, love, and support to change and become a better person, in Shippuden he gave it back by supporting her in her journey and helping her heal her trauma. Letting her make her choices and mistakes, respecting her boundaries... He just couldn't get involved in her political matters as the Kazekage. Defeating Aizen she had to do on her own. Even if there are mutual feelings they decided to wait to be both healed and ready to get in a relationship not to be toxic to each other.

Assclass Wild West Au 🐎🐎🐎
And honestly i love Nagisa's design, I love the concept of the assclass girls hiding guns underneath their dresses and everyone riding horses and nagisa being a bomb bounty hunter, but wtf is kayano's hat and karma's fashion choices here?? Like hes wearing this blue cheeta print shirt and red pants and he put his sheriff star like in the bottom middle of his coat and he's carrying a missile launcher?!?!
Aside from that, im strangely hooked onto this au like nagisa being the best bounty hunter and constantly in a standoff with sheriff karma and trusting the sweet innkeeper kayano only to find out shes been one of his bountys for the longest time. Meanwhile karma being a lazy sheriff whose constantly throwing Terasaka's gang of bandits in jail. And then theres the saloon sisters being the shadow leaders who use kanzaki to lure people into the bar and then okuda makes strong liquor to inebriate them and then nakamura learns all their secrets to run the town. Also i love the gold digger joke between isogai and maehara, i imagine them trying to manifest destiny and traveling to the gold mines in california
If I do plan on adding the rest of the class, like i need to come up with terasaka gang's bandit designs. Also, I picture cowboy sugino going on a horseback ride with kanzaki and getting absolutely robbed by the highway men and kanzaki having to pull out her gun and save him lmao
Edit: I'm really sorry for my original post and for offending any Native Americans. In my original post, I included the assassination classroom official art where there was a depiction of Hayami in a Native American outfit and I admittedly, did not do as much research into the history behind it as I should have. When I have more free time, I wanted to do a research deep dive into the Indian culture and understand what they wore and their lifestyle during that time period in order to properly do this AU. I never meant to culturally appropriate the Native American culture or erase their existing culture with a stereotypical "American" version of it. It was a pretty spontaneous decision based on the designs and my limited knowledge of the western genre and the history during that era, so I really do apologize. Again, I'm sorry for showing a depiction of the stereotype and I will do more research in order to be more respectful if I do decide to continue with this AU.

Mineko Old Art Dump
Alrighty, gonna do this now. This’ll be two parts since I’ve got quite a bit stocked up (I don’t necessarily draw her very frequently… it’s just, when I do, I get into a li’l Mineko mood). I think they can all fit in one post, but I’m still thinking it may be too much for one, so imma separate the traditional from the digital and make it its own smaller post. I’ll share some info about her in that part, too.
*Disclaimer*: I’m putting these in order of when I drew them (the digital pieces, at least. I’ll try to put the traditional pieces in order as best I can. Very rarely do I mark my drawings with a year, much less a date). I started drawing her in 2021, so, em… don’t mind the old art too much ^^;
(Also, not everything’s gonna make it onto here: either it’s too sketchy/horrid to share, haha, or, for the traditional drawings, I’ve misplaced some notebooks some sketches were in and haven’t had any luck finding them (which really sucks because one or two, at least, were kingdom au sketches 😩). That, and also some sketches, I’d like to make them actual pieces or clean them up some more—I draw Mineko with her brothers, I do, but they fall into that category. On that note, boy am I glad I can add Mineko into family posts without worrying about posting it now that she’s finally public 🥳 haha)
Anyway, on to it!
Part 1 of 2 :
