Anonymous said :: I really like that comic with Tobirama! XD If you want, could you tell us more about the warring states verse you mentioned? it sounded interesting [referenced post]

Oh anon

I would love NOTHING MORE than to tell you about this verse~

You can find information about it in my CARRD, as it has it's own full page because this is absolute favorite verse roleplay in!

So, this verse takes place some years after Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju struck peace between their clans, but instead of Konohagakure being built and the system of ninja villages being formed, something occurred that sent it all downhill. There were too many factors at play that undermined the process, killing the peace between the shinobi clans while it was still in its infancy. The clans, despite initially falling for the very tempting, comforting notion of peace, fell back into their rivalries and cycles of revenge, tension rising fast and the more tightly Hashirama tried to hold onto the control of the situation, the faster it all seemed to crack and unravel. At a pace he could not keep up with.

Within three years things had returned almost entirely to the way it had been before, with clans separated, some rivalries having only gotten stronger it seemed.

Without the unification of the clans under the banner of a village, without the sharing of information, techniques, ideas between them, they remained splintered and utterly unable to establish themselves as the far more formidable and superior military force that would have completely rearranged the status quo and knocked the samurai off their perch as the undisputed leaders of most military forces and campaigns for the past centuries. Without this unification, the ninja remained only as powerful as their clan allowed them, limited to what knowledge, abilities and benefits that could be passed down. Without the unification, each individual clan continued to depend on their reputation and credibility to be hired as as spies and infiltrators, assassins and mercenaries. Without the unification, the social elite continued their constant and bloody political intrigues and grasping for land, power and opportunity, with the ninja as merely another set of useful pieces in their schemes, and with the bloody rivalries and conflicts between the clans being of little interest to them.

After almost two decades, will Hashirama give up on his attempts to achieve the dream that had driven him since childhood, but that so many now, after seeing the disaterous result of his efforts, consider to have been just that? The naive dream of a child? But another generation of ninja are growing up in their respective clans. Will they continue the cycle that Hashirama tried to stop? Or will they try to break it once and for all?

Kagami had worked almost tiredlessly all night on trying to bake something that was both edible and presentable -.. yet after almost burning his kitchen down (yet again) he concluded that he just wasn't cut out for baking OR cooking.

So it was a strawberry cake from the more expensive bakery, alongside with a handcrafted hairpin that was nearly tucked into a small box. "Happy birthday, Kaname!" He sung happily as he presented both things to her, hoping both would resonate well with her!

Frankly, from someone who was not family just being congratulated would have been more enough, so she's initially a little bit taken aback when Kagami shows up presenting not one, but two gifts.

But Kaname quickly lights up, gesturing for him to step inside with a look of genuine excitement. "Please, come and share it with me! I'll put on some tea," she chirps, practically skipping ahead into the house.

The cake is delicious, although when he abashedly discloses his struggles with trying to make on on his own, she reassures him that she's touched he still put in so much effort to try and make something so ambitious for her. Now and then she glances at the now opened box with the hairpin, admiring it, and she's looking very happy as they continue to chat over the tea and strawberry cake.

“I want you and I don’t want to be a luxury. I want you to need me. I want you to not be able to concentrate because you’re thinking about me. I want you to reach for your phone because you thought of something you have to share with me. I want you to not even be able to breathe at the thought of never seeing me again, because that’s how I feel about you.”

💋 + kiss on the brow! I'll leave it to your beautiful imagination if it is platonic or romantic! With Kaname please!

Kiss meme

He might just as well have kissed her on the lips, she may have reacted much the same.

Being just about the same height as her, he had to raise his chin slightly to press a soft kiss to the centre of her forehead that lingered for a few heartbeats.

She felt lightheaded, and realized she had stopped breathing the moment Kagami had raised his hand to cup her jaw, and blacked out for a heartbeat when his lips had touched her skin.

His hand was scarred and callused, though no less than her own, but it was warm, and the touch tender. She placed her hand lightly over his, gentle pressure holding it in place as she leans into it and exhaled a soft, wistful sigh.

Her initial tension and surprise melts away.

Was she truly so touch-starved, or was it just because it was him?

Mito presses a kiss on her beloved daughter's forehead affectionately; a token of maternal love for Kana's birthday. Toka's given her a brand new chokutō she'd had forged specifically for her in the vast forests of their homeland and flowers, more specifically peonies. Happy birthday Kaname !! 💕✨

Kaname feels her heart swell and ache in her chest, warmed by the affection of two women she loved and admired so much. She hugs her mother tightly, holding onto her as if she was a little girl again, seeking comfort and protection within Mito's presence. The chokutō is beautifully made, and although she has a sword she will always favor over any other, even if it was old and not made for her, she will nonetheless treasure the one Toka put so much thought into having made for her. It will be given a spot on the katanakake in her room, right next to the one gifted to her by Ashina. Maybe, one day it would actually get to see proper use, and not just be reduced to decoration like its companion.

She will set up the peonies in her room as well, in a spot where she will see them when she step into the room, and when she wakes up in the morning. She always loved peonies, and it made her happy that Toka remembered it.

She will hug her as well, and thank her deeply for the gifts, her well wishes and thank them both for all the support she's been given by them over the years. It means the world to her.

She does laugh, and hopes the flush from their training hid the blush that heated her cheeks.

“Unless it bothers you there's nothing that needs avoiding,” she assures, lowering the cloth once she felt overall sure that she had gotten the worst of the blood off her face. “Last time...I really didn’t mind the questions, and I liked the flowers a lot.” 

Flirting was one thing. It was fun, especially when it was reciprocated. And it was wonderful to feel the warmth and shivers of such feelings again. Wonderful, but a bit frightening. It was startling how excited she had been when she'd learned Kagami was back in the village, and how he had popped up in her head during the months he was gone, making her feel all sorts of restless.  It was so similar to how it had been with Shigeki. She was older now, and that experience had made her a bit wiser… but it still felt so good. In the midst of the anxiousness and insecurity, it felt good, it made her feel happy. And she was sorely lacking things that made her feel really happy.  Flirting doesn't hurt anyone, she had told herself. Flirting didn't have to lead anywhere. She could allow herself this happiness for however long it would last, couldn't she?

A smile curls Kaname's lips as she faces him again, sweeping her hair over her shoulder in an exaggerated flourish. "But I'm a simple woman to please; kick my ass in a spar and take me out for lunch is more than enough for you to make me happy."

Now that he was more aware of it, the wound did sting a lot more- like any wound honestly. The Uchiha held still while Kaname tended to the wound, a soft sigh escaping him when she had the shell wrapped up. "Only visiting? I thought you would take me in and spoil me like I was a feverish child!" A gentle tease from which he hoped to incite another of those bright laughs that she had, it was one of the very few sounds and sights that made him forget all the bad things outside the wall... And all the bad things that stuck to his name.

"Sparring with you-.. I always look forward to it, whenever my mission ends and I am on my way back." It was almost like a ritual every since they were young. Even though he had been teamed up with Shimura Danzo and Akimichi Torifu, it was being set up with Kaname for a spar that he counted as one of the rather great things that happened while learning. She did not use mean mockery as a tactic and she did not immediately saw his short stature as a disadvantage- contrary, something about the way she fought with him sparked the will to use his shortness as an advantage. Ever since then, Kagami had practically pestered her for a spar. "How about I invite you for lunch as soon as we caught our breath? I can't cook but I know a few very good places."

Danzo would take that opportunity to tease him, calling him a lovestricken idiot and her way out of his league- truthfully, Kaname is an incredibly attractive woman, smart and strong as well. But he also knew that his line of work promises for a short life and that is nothing he wanted to impose on any romantic partner in his life.

"I'll also avoid bringing flowers this time, so we won't be annoyed with stupid questions again." He added with a sheepish laugh.

“One day it just clicks… You realise what is important and what isn’t, you learn to care less about what other people think of you and care more about what you think of yourself. You realise how far you have come and you remember thinking that things were such a mess they’d never recover and then you smile. You smile because you’re truly proud of the person you have fought to become.”
