The idea of Gaara absentmindedly playing with sand because it helps him think is so endearing I had to draw it 

Requests open!

//Sasori's puppets r creepier than the nun.

Especially the 3rd Kazekage.

Bro be judging u even in death.

He kinda reminds me of Tobirama Senju, ngl...

But knowing they r human puppets gives more... uncanny vibes. But at the same time, I feel like that's the thrill to it for Sasori: he knew he could create something eternal, something everlasting, even after his passing, which in a less moral, more practical way of the shinobi lifestyle, is true. He created living (dead human) weapons to control the battlefield better than the plain, wooden puppet and it shows in the battle against Sakura and chiyo:

The duo singlehandedly managed to defeat all the plain wooden puppets in Sasori's arsenal, but had more trouble against the human puppets and Sasori himself, since they were more weaponized and 3rd kazekage's puppet literally controlled the Iron sand, which a normal puppet would be otherwise unable to do without having proper DNA and chakra signature to do so.

So looking at this whole human puppet situation from Sasori's or puppeteer's eyes, it's completely valid argument, that human puppets make better weapons than normal puppets.

Even in today's world irl, in war or battles, everyday moral compass doesn't apply to the soldiers, because they do whatever they have to, to defend their countries and territories, or take them.

Therefore, in Naruto universe, in sasori's eyes, wasting something that could be everlasting, at least last decades to come instead of rotting in the ground makes perfect sense. Sasori was a genius, because he knew the cost of war and he knew the basics of shinobi rules, one of them being: anything can be a weapon.

In his eyes, humans were flawed, therefore his training as a puppeteer under the great chiyo made him realize, that no matter how people look at you or judge you for your creations, things that would protect the said population, you had to do what you had to do to survive, especially under such harsh conditions of Sunakagure, where lands were nearly unfertile and they had to get by robbery or shinobi work.

Too bad he turned into a bad guy afterwards.

Wish they could make a horror movie with Sasori's puppets...

Would be fucking cool

For the ask bingo: Jinchuriki Temari & Shikadai (need a good mother son tale with a splash of drama) <333

Thank you for joining my 60 sub challenge ask bingo 🖤

This is PART TWO of my newly created jinchuuriki Temari AU. Part one is linked below, and is attached to another ask.

Read down below ✨❣

BLOOD AND GOLD

part one | part two

Word count: 739 words

Tags: Canon divergence. "If G.R.R Martin can then so can I". War.

Shikadai’s favourite sensory games when he was a child was bringing his soft fingers over the rough, scarred wrists of Temari’s. It was something alluring in it, the difference in texture and colour, and it was the perfect distraction when he needed to calm down for bed. Then Temari would hold him in her lap and feed him milky rice as a night snack while he was busy letting his fingers follow trails of scars that powerful chakra cuffs once had created in her wrists.

He often asked where they came from and Temari would tell him that she used to be chained in a cave. And so followed a ton of ‘whys’, which Temari would sometimes reply to, and sometimes not, depending on how fast Shikadai fell asleep after the warm milk and rice combo.

He got to know mother was a jinchuuriki early on, it was as clear at the fact that the sun is hot, and the desert is dangerous. He never got to see Shukaku, only know of the Tailed Beast’s existence on an abstract level. Temari preferred to keep her powers a private matter, and that privacy extended to her son too. Only Shikamaru knew the extension of her being.

It wasn’t until many years later, after Temari had ruled Sunakagure with an, according to Shikamaru, iron fist to avoid the looming civil war, when it wasn’t possible to avoid conflict anymore, that Shikadai got to see her full powers.

The apple didn’t fall too far from the tree and Temari had tried her best after succeeding her father’s seat on the Kage throne after assassinating him with the help of Shikamaru when she was twenty. Was she popular for it among the citizens of Suna? Her existence divided the people, and her murder divided the opinions of her brothers too, even far over a decade after the deed was done. Yet, she didn’t regret anything and, according to herself, did her absolute best in ruling a totalitarian military village.

Too bad her citizens were uncontrollable, like this night when the moon was at its brightest. The guerillas had decided to strike and Temari’s temper burned short. In one single dramatic decent, she flew down from the Kazekage’s tower down to the burning streets of her village, her jewel.

“Shikadai, are you okay?” she screamed when Shikadai managed to shut the fire by the tents in the outskirt of the village. Whatever scraps remained of the tents had disintegrated into powder from his wind attack on it, but the fire was gone. “Where’s Shinki? Are you alone?”

Shikadai’s face was black with soot, but his gaze was hard and sure. He wasn’t afraid. He had grown up as the prince of Suna, the son of the Sunese jinchuuriki, and he had been tested since he was young. He could handle it. Ever since he had learned what his mother’s huge scars on her wrists were of, he could handle anything.

“Shinki’s outside the gates,” Shikadai said, throat hurting and voice raw from inhaling smoke.

“Drink water,” Temari ordered after stroking his shoulder. “You did well. Thank you for helping me.”

“It’s my duty,” Shikadai got out before coughing so much he almost shredded blood out of his windpipe.

“You’ve done more than enough,” Temari assured, stroking his back even more. Her son, her most beloved jewel. “It’s time for you to rest now, my jewel. It’s time for me to put an end to this fucking ruckus.”

Shikadai looked up at her, even if he was just as tall as her now. Still, he looked up.

“Are you sure you can – “ he asked, and the worry in his voice was real. “They’re so many – and not even Dad could stop them last time.“ Shikadai has been deadly terrified of his father’s possible death since Shikamaru stood on the doorstep of death a few months ago. The Kazekage’s husband was strong, but even this turned out to be too much when he tried.

“My jewel,” Temari said and wiped some soot from Shikadai’s cheek. “You’ve forgotten that I am never alone.”

There it was, the grin filled with razor sharp canines.

“Rest, my sweet boy,” Temari repeated. “I will handle it. I will bring peace back to our village.”

The last thing Shikadai saw before Temari turned around and a tail emerged from her back at will was the black eyes shining with gold.

ok these ones are more ab world building sunagakure bc i love the sand sibs and hate how kishimoto went ab that village

Concept: sunakagure was carved like a bowl out of a mountain. The kazekage's building dead centre at the bottom - prob prone to flooding 2:33 AM · Jun 19, 2017

But prob not because the founding fathers of suna would have designed it with a flood drain system and pipes for indoor plumbing or whatever

Bc it HAS to be an oasis. Has to be. There's got to be a bloody underground lake - which would be rad imagine sneaking off to swim

Anyway built like a bowl. Buildings are built like 100ft from the top of the mountain I guess and gradually get lower and lower

Like Santorini just stairs everywhere everyone has killer calves from all the stairs - how gaara can exist as a ninja bc of all the stairs

Anyway I just like making suna cooler than it actually is, god there's so much wasted potential there. Just make Konoha but made out of rock

Like the buildings are made of rock, looks like old Cario or Jaislamer, with basic tunnels in the rock surrounding the village I guess

But with the underground lake, they have greenery and everyone uses colourful fabrics for shade and colours to accent shops and homes

It's not just sandy, windy and basic I like to think.

Naruto visits and Kankuro is like "I warned you about the stairs bro" 4:25 PM · Jun 27, 2017

Suna tots has bubble tea. Fuck it. 8:37 AM · Jul 29, 2017

Suna…. would have public baths too…… 4:20 AM · Aug 1, 2017

i've been looking at some many images of gol gumbaz i completely forgot that my vers of the suna admin building has a central courtyard 1:22 AM · Aug 2, 2017

cause i imaged the first kage to have used the house like the white house is used in america?? and the garden is just something nice

More rad suna: Everyone wears knee length dresses and leggings under their cloaks. There's no difference between men and women's fashion 5:14 AM · Oct 25, 2017

And veils and long dresses/ skirts are a symbol of wealth and are only worn by high society or at weddings by bride and groom

Ninjas are expected to wear midriff exposing outfits to "highlight their power" and to remind guests "yo fucks I got a guy who can kill you"

But only at fancy parties. Ninja's usually wear whatever the fuck they want. See a guy wearing a t-shirt? Yeah he's a ninja

So say high society wind country throws a party and invites the sand sibs to it. They'll all wear veils and long skirts

Temari and Kankuro will bare their midriff while Gaara will not - kazekage, you know him anywhere -- tho u really shouldn't technically ??

Temari hates the class system and only dresses up for important events. Kankuro loves dressing up for every event. They're both best dressed

Gaara… Gaara just wears a nice casual dress and pants and throws on his white scarf over his head. They hate him bc he's beautiful still!

Temari eventually drops Wind country fashion for Fire country fashion 5:32 AM · Oct 25, 2017

The More the Merrier 7A: Hinata just catched her Husband Naruto enjoying Timido tits, what to do with this cheating couple... join them of course

Hints was a strong woman, ninja, and wife; having fought in pitched battles that changed the tide of history. So, she loved the peace and relaxing lifestyle she now enjoyed as wife of the hokage, even if the politicking of the world would still call her husband away for days to weeks at a time. It was necessary to continue to preserve the peace between nations.

That also meant she had read and helped approve the Relief Nin Corps; having seen firsthand on many occasions how being pent-up affected her team-mates when she was a Genin. So, when the leader of the Hyuuga and wife of the leader of all of Konoha strutted into her husband's office to 'enjoy' his company that evening and found him caressing Timido's head as he fucked her tits; she just smiled. She watched as both ninja turned to look at her, a loving smile from Naruto and a look of shock and embarrassment from Timido.

"M-my lady; I-I didn't know," Timido yelped as she tried to cover her body. Hinata couldn't help but lick her lips, she always loved when Relief Nin didn't know about how her relationship with Naruto worked.

"Take them out, as a Relief Nin; leaving a man unsatisfied is the biggest failing you can make." Hinata tutted at Timido as she stripped herself of her top and carelessly threw her bra over her shoulder. "That is my husband and he just returned from a mission to the Sunakagure for a month. I knew he'd be pent-up because he always forgets to look after himself. So I had one of his good friends meet him," Hinata gave Timido a pointed look as she knelt in front of her, sandwiching Naruto in between them. "There's no way a single Relief Nin could empty his balls. The Kyuubi affected his body; meaning he has more energy and producing ten times the cum of a normal ninja." Hinata leaned forward and kissed Naruto's pre-slick cock as she looked into his appreciative eyes.

"That's why I let him cheat on me, let him fuck who he wants, where he wants, how he wants. So long as I get to partake and watch as he ruins them." Hinata finally finished explaining to Timido as she cupped her own fat tits. She watched the realisation finally set in for Timido and felt the pinkette smash her tits into hers. The two moved in wild but synchronised movements, each was good, but together they were amazing. Amazing enough to pull deep, hungry groans from Naruto.

"O-Oh god, I fucking love fucking these tits," Hinata smiled as Naruto started to thrust harder and faster into their tits. "I can't wait to shower you both in my cum."

Those words fueled a dark and hungry part of Hinata's mind, she leaned over and kissed Timido in front of him, slipping her tongue into the pinkette's mouth before timidly looking up at Naruto and fluttering her eyes. That was what pushed Naruto beyond his limit, Hinata felt him unleash a hot eruption of cum and mewled as she and Timido were painted in his seed. Hinata giggled as she knew what was about to happen.

"Shadow clone jutsu!" Hinata heard the boisterous shout from her husband, as she pulled away from Timido's wet and eager mouth; she saw that they were surrounded by at least nine clones and her husband.

"Hmmm... Tonight is going to be fun," Hinata purred as she smiled at each and every clone. "I want to watch, so whoever wants to fuck me, you can only use my ass, hands, and pussy." Hinata couldn't help but giggle as she was pulled away by four clones as the remaining five and Naruto surrounded Timido. "When you're finished with her, I expect to not see a single strand of her pink hair."

"You heard her, let's give Timido everything we've got!" Naruto shouted out as he mounted the Relief Nin; the clones all dove in to use her pussy, mouth, and hands. "We won't fail. Believe it!"

Soooo I’ve done this quite a while (2 months?) and posted it initially on my main blog. Sorry for the poor quality, trash is my speciality,

Hey look, I spent a lot time to make a crappy comic of my OC Akana and Gaara! 

~~~~~~~~

More of my art

Akana’s very few memories from her childhood are connected to Gaara since they were born in the same village and going through a similar “problem”.

She isn’t really aware of any feelings for him since she’s a very gloomy person and tends to keep away everyone, but she somehow feels safe in his presence. Even thought they almost killed each other after Orochimaru’s attack in the Chunin Exam arc. 

She also sees love as a “antidote” to hate, and nothing more for now. Seeing the kanji of Gaara’s forehead helped her remember a valuable lesson from her mother.

Arranged Love | Pt 2

Thank you to Mrs. Hatake for requesting this prompt to me!

In which: f!reader is interested in being in a fwb like relationship, but is forced into an arranged marriage with the one and only, Hatake Kakashi. Both (y/n) and Kakashi only agree to marry for the sake of convivence. (y/n) with her needs, and Kakashi with his wish to revive his clan.

My first date, eh?

This ought to go terribly-

What did I do to deserve this?

I must be in hell because it'll feel like repenting for my sins.

You anxiously paced your room as your best friends, Yuhi Kurenai and Mitarashi Anko sat at the foot of your bed. "Why'd ya call us so urgently, (y/n)?" Kurenai asked, playing with a lock of her beautiful black hair.

You let out an exasperated sigh as you flopped face-first into your plush mattress, "Date..." was all you could muster up.

"YOU'RE GOIN' ON A DATE!" Anko cheered quite loudly, "Etto, sorry..." She realized her volume, "What I meant was, congrats!"

"Honestly, it's not something to congratulate me on..." Your face fell, "It's not my choice..."

Kurenai cupped your face, "Arranged?" She asked, to which you nodded, "Who'd your parents choose?"

"That silver-haired prick, Hatake." You grumbled, tightly hugging your lavender body-sized pillow. Reluctantly, you gave in to the girl's request for more information.

"Listen, (y/n)," Kurenai tried to reassure you with her calming words, "He's not as bad he used to be. Kakashi's became quite relaxed nowadays." To which, Anko nodded in agreement.

"Sure," You shrugged, "But I think he still hates me..."

Anko poked your cheek, "Just give him a good impression tonight. Things might change, ya know."

"I highly doubt that," You muttered, "Plus, I'm terrible at all things guy-related!"

"We'll help you get ready, just trust us on this," Kurenai told you, her tone telling you that she was serious. Even as a 25-year-old, your friends had a tendency to baby you. Sure, they were older than you, but it tended to be quite troublesome.

"Alright..."

Ding dong, the doorbell to your apartment chimed. At least he's only 25 minutes late... Your inner self grumbled as you went to greet Kakashi at the door. "Kon'nichiwa," You nodded at him with minimal enthusiasm.

"Kon'nichiwa, (l/n)," Kakashi replied in an equally unhappy tone. His eyes flitted up and down your form as the two of you walked out into town.

"What is it, Hatake?" You demanded, arching your eyebrow, "My eyes are up here." For once, you were unhappy with the fact that you were, let's just say, well endowed.

Kakashi shook his head, "Nothing, nothing at all, (l/n)." Incoherently, you muttered all sorts of colorful insults under your breath. So much trying to be in a good mood...

"So, where are we going?" You attempted to lighten up the rocky mood. "Try to start a casual conversation. That not too easy to mess up," Kurenai had told you.

"My house." Kakashi didn't even spare you even the quickest glance. What's up with him! I tried to be friendly. Stuck-up idiot! "We're just having dinner, alright. No more questions." With a soft sigh, you nodded, walking the rest of the way in silence. "Here," Kakashi took your fall jacket, shoving it into the coat closet along with his own. "I'll go warm up the food. You can just have a seat over there." He pointed at a little dining table near a window, "The restroom is over there, in case you need to wash up."

"Itadakimasu," both of you whispered to yourselves, digging into your aromatic dinner of (f/f). The two of you ate the meal in almost complete silence, not sparing the other a glance. To you, the food was simply too good to divert your attention from. You made a mental note to ask Kakashi where he had gotten it from.

Halfway through the meal, Kakashi sighed, placing down his chopsticks, "Why are you here?" He asked, but then rephrased, "As in, what about us are you in for?"

You put down your chopsticks, "I'm not here bec-" You looked up, but were caught off guard by a little something. His face...your mind said in awe at the beauty. Your gaze studied his unmasked face, yet still unable to see his legendary Sharingan eye, which was covered by his hitai-ate. Kakashi's elegant nose, the scar that ran across his left eye, his sharp jawline, and then to the beauty mark that graced a spot close to his ever so slightly chapped lips.

"What? My face?" Kakashi chuckled, "We're going to get married, you better eat used to it." He looked at you happily for just a split-second. Yet the very next moment, he reverted to his original stoic state, "As I was saying, what in this for you?"

You had to take a moment to recover from seeing Kakashi's face, "I-I u-uh..!" You mentally scolded yourself, telling yourself to get your act together. "I'm not here because I want to. It's all arranged by my parents. Hell, I didn't know that you were coming until I came home myself. This is all against my will."

"Hm," Kakashi studied your expression, "That's not exactly how your parents described your situation, but alright."

"What did they tell you?" You asked, your tone drier than the sands of Sunakagure no Sato.

A smirk formed on Kakashi's features, "They said that your love life is quite non-existent. Also, they just wanted to help give you a nudge in that department."

Your eyes widened as a flush adorned your cheeks, either caused by the sake you drank, or out of embarrassment. "N-no! It's not like that! I-it's just not the right time for me. I love my job, and I don't want to settle down just yet. Plus, I haven't found my Mr. Right just yet!" You tried to reason with Kakashi, who was flashing you an amused look. He was probably thriving off of how uncomfortable you felt.

"Actually..." He scratched his cheek, "That makes some sense..."

"So you’re backing out?!" Your eyes glittered with hope.

"Nope," Kakashi shook his head much to your dismay, "Trust me, I like this just as much as you do."

"Then why are we trying to make things work?! Neither of us likes this case, so why give it a chance?" You demanded in despair.

"You have a point," Kakashi pointed out, "But you see, it'll be beneficial for both sides if we work."

You pouted, "How so?"

"For you, your parents will stop nagging you." Kakashi stated, "And I'll get to revive my clan. And also, seeing that you and your parents are the last of your clan, you kekkei genkai May end up being a trademark for the Hatake's."

You rolled your eyes and mumbled, "So you just want to impregnate me, and relabel metal release as a Hatake thing?"

"You make it sound like I'm some kind of bad guy..." Kakashi raised his uncovered eyebrow.

"Well, you definitely aren't under a good light in my mind." You groaned angrily.

Kakashi face-palmed, "I was trying to be nice, and ask about how you were feeling about all of this."

"Well, I'm simply doing this for the sake of connivance." You finished, brushing a lock of your (h/c) hair out of your (e/c) eyes. In full honesty, you were somewhat surprised that Kakashi at least thought about how you felt about the predicament. It definitely wasn't something that you liked. But you had no way out...There goes my freedom...

"Your father told me to give you this..." Kakashi trailed off, sticking his hand into his pocket, fishing an object out of it. You sucked in your breath when you saw it...a ring. Your family's heirloom to be exact. It was beautiful, without a doubt. You had even adored polishing it as a young girl, dreaming about the day you would get to wear it. This was not how you imagined the day go. Tough luck. Life's a bitch, it ain't always cute, you told yourself.

"Well?" Kakashi looked at you expectantly.

With incredible amounts of regret and remorse, you gave him your right hand, "I hate you, Anata," you told him as he slid the beautiful rose gold ring up your ring finger. You had channeled as much sarcasm into the affectionate term, anata. You had spat it out like poison.

"And I loath you, Koishii." Kakashi told you, saying darling just the same way as you had called him dear.

There you were, engaged to your hater. The man who was to marry you for sheer convenience. No love, no respect. Nothing. It was arranged love.

Bent Right To Your Wind

I have a new fic out! I’ve been working on this for weeks it feels like (honestly since Christmas maybe?) because I need more content for this pairing, which I love. This clocks in at a little over 9k words, so make yourself comfy while you read. :)  Enjoy a sneak peek below! 👀👀👀

Title: Bent Right To Your Wind

Pairing: Kankuro x Haruno Sakura

Rating: Explicit. Be warned. Smutty times are ahead.

Description: Sakura and Kankurō have become good friends over the years, thanks to both of their villages participating in a medical exchange program. It only makes sense that lines get blurred, feelings get caught, and Sakura is overwhelmed by her realizations on her latest trip to Sunakagure. Right?

Suddenly twirling around in a circle, Sakura gasped as she was dragged into a solid chest, strong arms coming to wrap around her tense body. Looking up, her shoulders relaxed but she scowled up at Kankurō’s smiling face. Devoid of his usual purple face paint, Sakura sucked in a tiny breath as she gazed at his bare face, soft brown hair falling into his brown eyes flecked with green. Kami, when did he get so handsome, she wondered. Abandoning her thoughts before she started blushing, Sakura cleared her throat and slapped Kankurō on the chest.

“Damn it, Kankurō, you scared me,” she growled, a small smile threatening to show. “I thought I told you not to use your chakra strings on me.”

“Oh please, you love it,” Kankurō practically purred, smirk wide on his face. He tightened his hold on her when she made to move away, only pulling her closer. This close she could smell freshly cut wood tinged with citrus, and she had to stop herself from taking a deep breath, getting lost in his scent. She ignored how her heart sped up at the sight of the smirk on his face. She hoped he couldn’t feel her heartbeat.

"Do we have to? They're really scary!"

Quinn shuddered as she tried to convince her brother to head back home. They had an off day from all missions. It wasn't for the fact they were tired just that they weren't together as much they were used to.

"You say that but you were drooling over them when we first saw them and proceeded to cry when you found out one of them is in a relationship."

Itani huffed a laugh as his sister pouted at his words. They were going to Sunakagure to visit a friend of theirs. On the way they-more like Itani-decided to stop and say 'Hi' to the infamous Sand Siblings.

They had met them on a mission they got along with Shikamaru. The Nara shinobi was supposed to go out with the sand kunoichi aswell.

Quinn sobbed twice that day, she didn't know that her friend was in a relationship. She was trying her best to remeber if she crossed any lines. All she got was simple hugs and hand holding.

The second time was when she saw Temari. She was soo pretty, it killed her to think about making her think Shikamaru was being unfaithful. The girl stayed away from the male for a solid four weeks.

"Did you have to remind me? Four whole weeks without cloud watching with pineapple head and you laugh at me!"

Itani ignored his sister in favor of wrapped his arm and rubbing her head. They were nearing the village gates, a small smile tugged at their lips.

[plunnies-n-shit]

ok ive realized something that annoys me about the Naruto Universe where the fuck is their cultural clothing like, i understand the usual argument "they're all japanese!!!!" first of all stfu Kishimoto has the same problem as most mangaka in that, aside from the two joke characters, he draws all of his characters as the same light-skinned-pretty-noble japanese and that's some right bullshit there's so much more variation in people also, two, culture, especially regarding food and clothing, is largely influenced by region and climate, and you cannot tell me that a (im generously gonna call it a) "continent" consisting of enough unique and drastically different biomes that they're called "elemental nations" doesn't have as many different cultures as it has hidden villages. give me Konohagakure jonin in furs of the animals native to the forests around the village-- draped over their shoulders, stitched into their vests, flung around their wastes, the natural patterns that are impossible to replicate allowing them to all but disappear into the shadows and undergrowth of their forests and masking their scent from trackers. People in the Land of Mists and especially in the Land of Rains wear clothing made from the hides of seals or native reptiles or cloth/leather that has been waxed, and it has to be almost reverently cared for so that it never loses its waterproof qualities. waterproof shoes, especially, are worth their weight in whatever metal is considered super valuable to Shinobi (imma go with "titanium") I think Kankurō was the only one i saw from Sunakagure that i think was dressed properly-- in the desert? with the sand and the wind and the sun? You don't leave your skin bare unless you wanna get burnt, then sanded to hell and back, and the black paint around his eyes would actually be beneficial to keep the constant, strong sunlight from damaging his eyes without having to obstruct his vision in any way. Gaara im gonna give you a pass for your sand shield, but Temari? put some clothes on girl!!!!! Long, flowing linen robes breathe easily while still protecting you from sun and sand!! headwraps prevent the scalp from being damaged by the sun!!!! sandals and footwraps keep your feet safe while also not getting absolutely filled with sand in two seconds flat!!!!!! Also???? The weaponry???? Are you telling me that "anything goes so long as you win" shinobi wouldnt take every element of surprise available to them including but not limited to taking their little murder children to the armory to pick an additional weapon or 3 to master? Youve introduced storage scrolls!!! You dont even need to worry about lugging them around!!! Even if we're just talking japanese weapons: naginata and bladed fans would be popular among the kunoichi. Kama and other chain weapons would be wildly popular among capture-interrogation teams. Staffs especially would be good for medicnin and "weak point" team members who need to be focused on defense And that's before you start pulling weapons from around the world bc of course shinobi smiths would jump all over the chance to design new and unique weapons What im saying is Kishimoto youre lazy and a coward and you were already on my Fite List for the bullshit apologetics you pulled to traumatize babyNaruto for the plot point, but youve moved up a couple spaces.

The Moment Love Hits

Tenten x Hikari Tachibana

Of course they got stuck like this on their first mission together. Of course.

It was a B-rank, a simple message delivery mission to the Sand village. With Lee still out of commission, Lady Fifth sent one of her own students with them, and it just had to be the one girl that Tenten absolutely lost all train of thought around. She was stunning, a ray of sunshine in the midst of a monsoon. Hikari Tachibana. Theyd become very used to eachother at this point, Tsunade often sent her to train her acrobatics and such with Gai sensei. But still, for some reason, Tenten's mind had a slight buffer everytime she was around.

Either way, they were walking towards Sunakagure, on a 3 days journey, and Hikari was so close and speaking about some new dessert she tried. She spoke all the time but the sound of her voice was music in a silent world.

"And it was topped with a drizzle of honey, oh my goodness, Tenten-chan, it was to die for!"

"It sounds lovely, Tachibana." She replied, just to show she was listening, while Neji snickered at the delay. God, he knew her too well.

"Stop with the last name, just call me Hika, silly." Hikari replied, tugging Tenten's sleeve playfully.

"Okay, okay, Hika-kun then." Tenten laughed, a blush rushing across her cheeks. What was it about this girl that made her so flustered?

"Plenty of time for talking later, if you all dont use your youth to move quicker, Ill win!" Sensei yelled from ahead and Hika giggled before running up and leap-frogging over his shoulders.

"Not today, Sensei!!!" She called as she did a few back flips ahead of him. Sensei laughed along with Tenten at her energy but they all stopped for a second as Neji called out.

"Stop! Formation, now." His byakugan was active and Tenten could see an immediate shift in energy as they formed a circle back to back. He whispered as they settled, enemies unseen by anyone but the kekeigenkai user.

"Theyre at 4, 7, 10 and 12." He said and Hika immediately transferred the scroll to Gai sensei.

The first shuriken whizzed past Tenten's face and before any other attacks could come, a skew of kunai throttled towards the source. The rest of the enemies revealed themselves, engaging in hand to hand with the boys individually and the third attempting to handle both Tenten and Hikari's attacks. Tenten began whizzing hundreds of tools at him, while Hika flipped to avoid them and landed her signature senbon to the back of his neck, triggering her genjutsu-like effects of the poison.

"You bitch! Why cant I see?" He shrieked, holding his eyes, and she just laughed, sweeping his legs from under him. Messing with them while theyre blinded was the best part.

Her laugh was cut off as she looked up to see a shuriken graze Tenten's cheek, the small stream of blood running down her face. Hika's golden eyes narrowed as the man revealed himself, obviously a bit injured from Tenten's initial stream. Tenten locked eyes with her, and they nodded slowly before she summoned her 2 new katana, dual weilding for the first time. She stood at defense, and Hika winked with a smile as she launched herself up, releasing 3 genjutsu senbon before tucking back to land herself. Tenten swiped twice, and the man was out of commission. She turned to see the men handled their enemies as well, practically untouched. And then she looked at Hika again. The danger gone, Hikari's eyes softened as she stepped towards her.

"Ill never let you get hurt again." She said, her honey-sweet voice melting Tenten's heart for a moment as she touched the blood streamed cheek of Tentens face. The cooling sensation of the healing jutsu seeped into her skin and she laughed nervously.

"Its really not that big of a deal." She tittered at Hika's fingers on her cheek, and then coughed to change the subject, "That last guy didnt have a chance, did he, Hika-kun?"

"Against us? No god could help him." She responded, her smile brightening the world again and stunning Tenten as she brushed her lips against the once-wounded cheek. "You're all set, Tenten-chan. Not even a scar."

She backed away, running to the rest of the team to brag about their girl power pose moment and Tenten simply stood with her hand to her cheek and a single thought in her head.

Lord help me, Im in love with her.
