Summary: Just like any other kids, King Min Yoongi also has his own childhood memories but his involved a mystery girl who he met once and was known as his love at first sight. Will he gets any chance to meet her again? What will he does when he found her? Will the girl remember her too?

After that encounter with the mystery girl, the Crown Prince who never fails to show his playful side before has become such a moody boy. He didn’t eat much, sometimes the food on the plate left untouched. As usual, he will be excited for his next lesson with his scholar Kim but, he became a bit slow in catching up his lessons recently. In the blink of an eye, he became quite contrast from his previous attitude. His sudden burst of sadness has gained attention from people around him, moreover the Min couple.

“What has gotten into Yoongi recently? He looks cheerless.” the King tried to get some answers from the Queen, hoping she knows anything about their precious son. “I don’t know either. Min abruptly changed after the day he ran away from the palace. When I asked about it, Min just sealed his mouth.” Queen showed her concerns. “I miss his gummy smile.” she sighed slowly, looking out of the window. The Queen even commanded the Head Personal Guard and scholar Kim to check out the situation but it looked like they failed the mission.

The King said nothing to the Queen as he is well aware of how concern she is towards his son. “I think it’s better if we visit Min instead. I don’t want him to sink deeper with his untold thoughts.” the King rise from his current spot followed by the Queen.

The three Min just looked at each other. Nobody dares to move or talk. The situation in the Crown Prince’s chamber is too tense until the King himself couldn’t find the right words to start the conversation. As a mother to the Crown Prince, the Queen thought it was better if she asks him first. “Min, if you don’t mind, why don’t you spill your guts to us? We can’t bear to look at your current state.” she convinced her son to talk. Silently, she wiped her tears at the corner of her eyes.

Her action has attracted Min’s attention. He feels so awful as he looked at his mother. He never means to make anyone worried about him but he really can’t shake his mind off of the girl. He doesn’t know why such a mystery girl can give an impact on him. Oh, perhaps he is still far from mature. Needless to say, he scared to tell his parents about this matter as he knows who he is. As someone from the royal blood, he couldn’t choose his queen-to-be. Just like what his father told him, ‘We have rules to follow even though we don’t ought to’.

However, a light bulb went on his mind. Immediately, he pushed his table that has been occupied with his books to the side and startled his elders. “Father! Mother! I want to get married. Find me a wife!” his voice contains with excitement. The Min couple looked at each other with widening eyes. “Perhaps, this is what you have been thinking of lately?” the King knitted his brows again, wondering if his son spooks the truth. No answer left from Min Yoongi as he nodded his head as quick as a flash and widen his gummy smile that his mother insisted to see.

The Queen lets out a soft giggle, asked again and warned her child at the same time. Yoongi blinked his eyes twice as his mother sent out a warning. ‘Is this what I really want? Ah, just say yes. I really want to meet that girl again’ he bites his nail while giving a thought about his decision.

“Alright, if that what you want, Yoongi.” the King also chuckled. Yes, he was shocked with the sudden plea and somehow, he couldn’t believe his own child as Yoongi always acts like a little child even though he is fifteen years old. As a man who was a boy back then, he acknowledged there’s another thing that his child won’t share with them—his feelings, but he lets it pass for now. He determined that this Min will soon realise about his plea today.

A week after the discussion between the royal and the ministers, they have issued the news about the ban of marriage to the public. Mainly, the maidens will submit their names in the maiden list if they want to engage in the selection of the Crown Princess. This selection will give benefit to the maiden’s family as their social class and status will boost up to a higher rank.

“Hyung Sun! Let’s go..” Yoongi pulled his arm excitedly but the Head Personal Guard didn’t budge from his spot. “Your Highness, I think it’s so much better if we just stay here.” he gave his opinion respectably. Everyone in the palace knows that the Crown Prince is the most excited person when the palace announced to hold the selection. They all thought Min is genuinely ready to have a companion in his life but little did they know, Min Yoongi has another purpose. “Didn’t you agreed with my suggestion yesterday? I don’t care! We should go now.” he walked ahead as he couldn’t hold his patience anymore.

‘Here we go again.’ Hyung Sun palmed his face.

 Hyung Sun stayed alert at his surrounding, scared if the King or ministers caught him and the Crown Prince. He doesn’t know why Yoongi wanted to be here. Whereas, the blonde boy is still peeking inside the hall, trying his best to detect the girl he met at the market. Truthfully, it is prohibited for the Crown Prince to interfere with the selection but does this Min concerned about that? The answer is ‘no’. He will do anything to get what he wants.

The blank Min ignored the question and so on the answer Hyung Sun craved has left hanging. Instead, he bites his nail—a bad habit of him, “Based on what I have observed, it looks like she doesn’t belong here…Or..She is someone from here but she doesn’t want to take part in this selection?” the genius Min tried to make his own hypothesis. Hyung Sun looked at him expressionless as he can’t seem to process Yoongi’s statement. “Oh no! This can’t be..” in a flash, Min ran away, leaving the poor Hyung Sun alone.

“Mother!Mother!” he screamed loudly from the outside of Queen’s quarter before he went in. The Queen is in her chamber, getting ready to attend the first selection with the help of the Court Ladies. It startled her and the others but they ignored it as they know whose that voice belongs to. She just kept quiet and didn't look at him as she still busy prepared herself. “L-let’s cancel the selection.” his hand on his knees, tried to take a breath while voice out his words. “You want what?!” now the Queen let her anger took over herself.

After she sent out her Court Ladies from the Queen’s chamber, she asked Min to take a seat before give his full explanation. She commanded his son to speak  while looking at Yoongi with an intense gaze. “I-I have given another thought about this…And I think I am not..ready yet to have someone in my life. I’m beg-” The Queen showed a signal for Min to stop talking because she can’t keep up to listen anymore.

Yoongi hung his head low, well prepared to take another complaint from his mother. Sorrow ate him up as he felt his tears welled up in his black sharp eyes. How he wished he could turn back to two weeks ago. The Queen let a soft sighed escape her small mouth and watching her son with soft eyes. “Since this was the first selection, I will let this slip. Only this time. If you do this again, I’ll just carry on and refuse to take responsibility. Understand?’’ she told her son strictly. The blonde boy just nodded and slipped out after thanked his mother.

Hyung Sun kept glaring at the Crown Prince after they got back from the Queen’s quarter. Absolutely, he heard about the sudden cancellation by the royal palace and he has figured out the problem that Min Yoongi hiding from everyone especially his elders. Later, he found an encouragement inside him and call Yoongi who is sitting at the garden. “Your Highness, I know it’s rude for me to share my opinion with you.” the statement came out from his mouth in a whisper.

Yoongi said nothing but looked at him with a quirked eyebrow. “Prince, please assume this as a friend to friend advice as we have known each other a long time ago. I can sense that you already have a maiden in your heart and with a sudden announcement of selection, you hope to find her but turned out she’s not there in the hall. Meaning, she probably not someone from here.”

The prince nodded, wanted his Head Personal Guard to continue. “After this, you’ll get a tight schedule as you have many things to learn to prepare you as a King. If she has a noble fate, you’ll meet her again. Yes, she probably your first love at first sight but I suppose you to forget her.”

ATTENTION, ATTENTION adult level 1 trauma room 1 ATTENTION, ATTENTION adult level 1 trauma room 1

The overhead speaker cut off their conversation and Sakura had a wishful look on her face as she was talking with Ino. Sakura was a first year surgical resident on her 3rd month, the current senior resident was not interested in having her assist with the level 1 trauma coming. Where did that leave her? Sitting in the cafeteria drinking shitty coffee.

“I don’t know what I did to upset Kabuto so badly! Its not fair that he doesn’t even want me watching the surgery.” Sakura can’t help the big sigh that escapes her as she goes to empty the contents of her coffee cup. She doesn’t care that the it is slightly too hot to take in a big gulp. As the liquid travels down her esophagus, easing her feelings.

“Forehead its probably because you made him look incompetent. You know that most patients adore you due to your bedside manner, its weird for a surgeon to be warm and comforting. Most are brilliant minds, but truly dumb when it comes to human interactions. Plus didn’t you get that question right when he couldn’t answer it, in front of Dr. Senju?” Ino tries to reassure Sakura over the phone, wishing she was there in person to help her friend.

“I guess he isn’t my biggest fan. It was as simple question. The safest trimester for a pregnant woman to have surgery. Its the second, how didn’t he know that!” She starts look at her ALS card, refreshing her memory.

“ He needs to spend less time being Orochimaru's pet and more time caring for patients. “Sakura starts getting her pager and work phone out of her scrub pocket to make sure she hasn’t magically missed any calls. ‘Stupid archaic messaging systems that don’t work half the time.'

Before she can respond to Ino’s comment her work phone starts going off. “Ino give me a second.” As she places her cell on the table.

“Trauma intern, Haruno sp…” “Why the hell aren’t you in my trauma bay, helping with this level 1?!”

Sakura has to pull the phone away from her ear, not believing the Dr. Tsunade Senju was calling her. “ I’m sorry Dr. Senju, but Yakushi told be it would be too crowded and I should work on charting.”

“ Work of charting. If I wasn’t mistaken I have already signed all your notes, now you have 3 minutes to get your ass in this bay to 1st assist me during this surgery, while Kabuto works on his notes for the day. He knows the rules, charting to be done the moment we leave the patient room. “

Before Dr. Senju could fully finish Sakura had quickly shot up and started making her way to the ED to get into the trauma. She would have to sprint to make it, but she sure as hell wouldn’t let this chance slip by.

“ You better be prepared when you get here.” Then Dr. Senju hung up the phone.

Thankfully for Sakura she listened to the EMS report and the nurses discussion when Kabuto was brushing her off.

29 year old male, shot point blank range outside of a business office. GSW to the abdomen, the guy was lucky he didn’t bleed out before getting to the hospital. They would have to do an exploratory lap possible convert to open to fix all of the damage. Plus lots of transfusions to help with the blood loss.

With Adrenaline going through her veins she got to the ED in record time and wasted no mind with looking at the patient’s face, her sole focus was the wound.

8 hours later they had closed. Sutures and derma bond in place. Sakura felt her adrenaline leaving her. She got the side eye from some of the circulating nurses due to her cell going off like crazy with text alerts.

“Alright squirt I want you to stay here and monitor him as he wakes up. This is a high level case you were just on. I want you to put in the orders for admission, you will also be seeing to his care while he is here. “ Dr. Senju ripped off her surgical mask and looked at Sakura, as she quickly went through the orders that the patient would need for admission.

Once she finally sat down watching as anesthesia got ready to extubate did she notice just who the patient was. It was like having ice water flow through her veins.

There laying on the table was no other then Itachi Uchiha, her best friend's older brother: his idol, prodigal child, and certified genius.

Her hands started to shake as she looked at her cell phone. Over 50 missed messages from Sasuke wanting to know if she knew about his brother.

‘He’s just a patient. I will treat him like any other person. I have to be professional, there is no room for emotions to get me overwhelmed.’ Once her resolve was replaced she was able to watch as Itachi took a gasp of air in. He started to moan.

“Uchiha-san calm down. You just had major surgery. We are going to get you into the PACU and then you will have your own room in the hospital for some nights.”

His eyes were unfocused as she talked, but he started to calm down. They were then ready to transport him out of the OR room. Itachi was an easy going patient once they got him to the PACU. His pain tolerance was high and was quickly taken up to his hospital room on the surgical floor.

Sakura had to shake her head, no its not Itachi, its Uchiha-san. She didn’t really know him well. He had graduated high school at 16, went to university and then law school. His parents were proud and sad for him deciding to do Law school oversees and not in Japan. The last time she actually saw him she was 11 and was invited to the graduation party along with Naruto to keep Sasuke entertained.

Thankfully Dr. Senju had talked to his parents. Sakura wouldn’t know how she could handle Fugaku’s ever disapproving eyes on her. She was sure Mikoto would be a big ball of nerves waiting on bated breath to hear what happened to Itachi. Of course Sasuke was probably acting calm as a cucumber most likely.

Sakura walked into the room to see Uchiha-san one more time before signing out to the night resident on. It was then that her predilections were wrong. Fugaku looked warn out, dark circles under his eyes, a slight shake to his hands. Mikoto had puffy read eyes, it was a time where it looked like her age had caught up with her. However, it was Sasuke looked the most shocking, he was showing so much emotion. His eyes were read and puffy, clothes disheveled.

When they saw her Mikoto rushed up to her embracing her in a tight hug. “Dr. Senju said you assisted during the surgery. Thank you so much for helping him, saving him. She said you were able to detect a bleed she would have missed.” Mikoto’s embrace was nearly bone crushing.

“Mikoto-san I was only doing my job.” Sakura slowly patted her back. “ I just need to check on him before I leave for the night, there will be another resident on if there is anything he needs.”

“He has been asleep since he got here.” Sasuke broke their hug. Sakura quickly went over to Itachi to listen to him with her Stethoscope, checking his vitals on the monitor and examining his bandages.

“I’ll be back in the morning. Everyone make sure you get some rest.”

And just like that Sakura walked out of the room and heading to the lounge. A soft ding made her check her phone.

-thank you.

It was from Sasuke. A small smile graced her face as she entered the locker room. It was then she let her defenses down as she slid down the wall and cried. 5 minutes later she got up and headed to report.

An Invincible Summer - ShanaStoryteller, AO3

Link: Here!!

Rating: T for read the warnings, but don’t worry too much because of them

Favorite Quote(s): I legit wanna tattoo this next quote on me somewhere

"Oh, the things that can be accomplished through ignorance of their impossibility," 

And this Straight Up Fact

“There’s no such thing as cheating as long as you win,” Natsu says, and the brat’s not wrong.

This one’s just funny

“Chouza,” Inoichi forces himself to say evenly, “Your teachings produced Ebisu and goddamned Gai.”

“Genma’s pretty normal though,” Chouza sighs, “I never could get through to that boy.”

Gently Gai casually caring about Kakashi’s well-being is my entire reason for living, speaking of which if someone wants to come be my Gai that’d be really fucking nice because us Kakashi’s don’t do too well on our own

He hesitates, but says, "Not that I do not find your newfound mentorship to be a most youthful endeavor, but -"

"I don't know," Kakashi interrupts his friend, "I met her while she was taking her genin exam and she, I don't know, adopted me or something. She just keeps showing up."

Gai nods thoughtfully, "Stubbornness is a useful skill to have when trying to cultivate a friendship with you." Kakashi elbows the other man, but doesn't protest besides that. "She's a good cook."

And this one because I love it when people Get It, ya’know?

That's really why he won't say anything, why he won't reveal that the Kyuubi's container and the fourth Hokage's child is still alive: they already killed him once. Naruto and Shikamaru are the same age, they would have been in the same class, and the idea that anyone could want to harm his innocent, precious son makes his blood boil 

And this one, for accuracy

"This sounds like a most youthful endeavor. I will bring Anko! She will fan the flames of youth in our young Konoha blossom!"

Both Itachi and Kakashi look at Gai, horrified. "Please don't," Itachi says weakly, like he knows it'll fall on deaf ears but he has to try anyway.

"Don't worry," Gai attempts to assure them, going into his Good Guy pose, "They will produce youthful flames of feminine excellence!"

"They're going to burn down Konoha," Kakashi says flatly.

Gai's hair and teeth sparkle in the sunlight, and he doesn't attempt to deny it.

Another important one

"The world is a terrible place," she says, and she has to swallow before she speaks again, "and it's full of terrible people. But I don't have to be one of them." 

I love that Natsu-chan has great balance, this is my number one favorite character trope, and I wish more people would write it

She bends down to look at him upside down, and Itachi can feel that she's not using chakra to stick onto him, and sometimes her balance just isn't logical. 

I just love the idea of tiny genius Naruto, and I love that Natsu-chan is a seal master at like, fucking seven and a half lol

Itachi knows it's actually far more complicated than that, but just as he does not tell her minutia of the past shinobi wars in their history lessons, she does not overcomplicate her explanations of sealing. Usually he's grateful for that, but when she appears to break every known law to sealing and chakra, he's not.

"That's," he blinks and he's not going to tell her it's impossible because it clearly isn't, "new," he settles on.

A mood honestly

Inoichi now feels the urge to bang his head against the table top, because 'a huge pain' to Natsu is 'literally impossible' to everyone else.

Another mood honestly

Inoichi watches his former genin dig in with resignation. “When are you guys going to start picking up the tab? Feeding you all isn’t cheap you know.”

Hana swallows her mouthful, “Sensei, I am but a lone healer’s apprentice –“

“I have been a chunin less than a month,” Kabuto pouts, wounded, “and already you seek to profit-“

“Do you have any idea how much sealing paper and ink costs?” Natsu demands.

“Okay, okay,” Inoichi grumbles, but it’s not very effective considering he’s smiling, “I take it back, jeez.”

Okay so, since this is a 100k+ word fic, I’ve been doing this thing lately literally just now on this fic review where I only feature quotes from the first chapter (Depending on length.) but, I’m making an exception because I’ve never seen these three characters and my thoughts on them summed up so well by someone I don’t know which is to say anyone, no one I know cares about my interests really lol

"Maybe a little," he admits grudgingly, "Sakura's really smart, but she acts dumb for some reason. And her endurance is really bad. She probably would have been failed on that alone if she didn't have such good aim with shuriken. And Sasuke's good at like, everything, I still don't get why he didn't graduate earlier. He's just so-" Kiba rubs his hand over his face.

"So what?" Hana prompts, even though she's heard this particular complaint before.

"Sad," the genin sighs, "He's miserable all the time, and he works hard and if you yell at him for long enough he'll work with you, but - crap, I don't know. He's got this really great poker face so you think he's just a big jerk, but I can smell his emotions, the big idiot, and he's just this sad lonely kid who won't listen to anyone."

Hana hums, because if she opens her mouth she'll probably start cursing the Hokage and his dumb rules and his dumb ideas, and that is not the type of thing that leads to a long life.

Just one last quote because dudes, guys, pals, friends of mine it’s important and you should all stop and read it.

 “Thanks for being cool with – everything. I’m really happy you’re not mad at me for not being honest with you.”

“You are my friend,” Gaara says warmly, “and you have always been honest about that.”

Words & Chapter(s): 136,306 words of greatness, and 6 full chapters of nicely done completion

Summary: When Naruto is five, he's gutted by a drunken civilian and presumed dead.

Six months later a girl with ash pale hair and dark blue eyes enters the Academy. 

(Guys I swear on my cool as fuck username, and all around internet personality as practically satan and probably Lucifer and whatnot that nobody we like stays dead or severely injured)

Score: 13, this is one of my favorites for a reason, this is actually my second technically third time rereading this in as many weeks

Pairing(s): Uchiha Sasuke/Uzumaki Naruto Hatake Kakashi/Umino Iruka, background Haku/Zabuza, but don’t worry anything you’re thinking of is addressed quite nicely in the fic ultra background but still there’s a lot of relationships and I’m not going to tag them all

Warning(s): Naruto technically dies more than once because this is Naruto we’re talking about but they also technically don’t??? You gotta read it, but basically temporary character death, only the bad guys stay dead in this one.

Nobody knows that Naru-chan lived so there’s that angst for you, however, to be fair it’s not like this whole story is just characters mourning and crying and whatnot, at this point it’s mostly just passing thoughts and memories which, again, to be fair, does almost feel worse at times... Huh, regardless it’s not overly angsty

Kakashi is adopted whether he likes it or not by Natsu-chan, we love both of our emotionally fucked over fair-haired ninja in this house so you won’t have to worry about that sorta fic coming outta nowhere from me BTW... but anyways, Kakashi freaks out a bit, much like the abused dog he always reminds me of, but Natsu is the sweetest and most gentle, yet forceful person he could’ve possibly caught the attention of. (This is canon)

The Akatsuki are still bad, BUT ITACHI ISN’T technically SO WHO FUCKING CARES!!!! (The Massacre still happens tho...)

Mentions of The Flower District and what that implies, and also things a Kunoichi might definitely do

Oh my fucking god the Hyuga... Who would willingly do something so horrible as that? Of all the things... Warning for... The Hyuga branch family situation, it’s dealt with nearly as soon as we are informed but, gods, my blood ran cold, and my face whited out, my sister thought someone had died when she saw my face haha,,, who the fuck does this? And do they die? In canon I mean? I think I only watched up to the chunin exams or Pein’s attack, I can’t remember which tho...

Natsu cries because people are nice to her sometimes. And honestly that’s fair, I burst into to tears once because I imagined someone kissing my forehead softly so, Natsu is completely valid... Sidenote, I’m touch-starved and have no cure for this beyond younger siblings and my cat because I don’t have the ability to ask my mom for a hug without literally gross sobbing and I have A Thing about embarrassment sooooo... yeah if anyone has some therapy justu for me that’d be nice

Mentions of Gross Men that apparently want to have Natsu’s increasingly growing collection of the absolute most dangerous people she can befriend pay them a visit. And by that, I mean an old fuckwit has the gall to leer at a TEN-YEAR-OLD and a FUCKING THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD!!!!!! Ugh, I hate those kinds of pathetic worms.

On that note, there is technically underaged things going on, but they are also Ninja soooo???? They’ve killed people and are technically in their version of an army, and by the laws of their lands they’re all adults, actually I’m pretty sure by shinobi life expectancy Kakashi is middle-aged, Inoichi is a senior citizen, and Hiruzen is a walking corpse tbh

Alcoholism??? I don’t really think it is but I’m not sure, but some characters do drink often, and usually when stressed courtesy of Natsu and co. but still... I don’t actually know if it is because it doesn’t actually happen much, more like every few weeks/months

Mentions of past sexual assault, and attempted past sexual assault, neither happen in fic or to any of our main characters, the experiences are not graphic though they do talk about it in chapter five, it’s not to graphically described.

Also, a bunch of off-screen lemon

A Thing (That I copy-pasted from the author so that all of you will see it and not say a single word against it.): If you thought Natsu was too mature for her age - she has seen and been through some really horrible shit. But also: my cousin has, since he was like 4, hung out with kids that were about 4 years older than him because those were the kids that were in his neighborhood or whatever. Point being, even after he started school, his main group of friends was consistently older than him. He very quickly adapted to that, and to this day (he's 12) hangs out with that same group, and considers children his own age 'kids' because he adapted to the behavior of the group he was surrounded with. I hardly believe Natsu would be any different.

And also

4. Quick little note because some people mentioned liking my portrayal of the Sandaime. I base his decisions/motivations (and Itachi and Danzo's to a certain extent) around this quote by Clementine von Radics: "It is so hard to live half monster, to hurt everything you love by trying to protect it wrong."

Pros: Watching Natsu just casually disregard the idea of gender with little to no thought is the greatest thing anyone will ever experience beyond, I dunno, the party we’re all gonna collectively throw when soggy Cheeto dies (I still haven’t decided which song we should make chart number one when that happens)

Given that I’ve technically read this three times you should already know the writing is fucking amazing, like, whoa, mind blown type of amazing, like, wow, so good, I usually hate rereading something I’ve read before, and especially so soon after the fact but geez Louis is this fic amazing

Natsu is just as easy to fall in love with as Naruto, and they are still the same people with slightly different personalities as is to be realistically expected with a situation like Naru’s was.

Also, GENDERFLUID REPRESENTATION DONE FUCKING AMAZINGLY IS ALWAYS A PLUS!!!!!!! 

The author manages to convey a very realistic genderfluid character in an incredibly believable manner, while also still keeping Natsu/Naruto themself. They’re still the Naruto that we knew and loved, but they’re different too, as is to be expected. when Natsu is a girl no-one stumbles, she is a girl without a doubt, even the author doesn’t trip up on societal expectations, and when Naruto is a boy there is next to immediate acceptance of this fact with absolutely zero (0) Zero bullshit from transphobes, which, as a genderfluid person myself, is always fucking nice to see. You’ll have to read it to know more though.

Natsu running around creating seals is honestly the greatest thing ever, and the end scene with the village made me cry a lil bit, and dammit this fic is so fucking good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, there’s a scene, where Natsu heals Kakashi, and the way the author handled explaining the intimate not sexual relationship between two of my favorite characters ever is just, so subtly beautiful, the sibling-bond these two have is beautiful, and a part of me wants to cry sometimes when I read it, and usually do cry a little when I get to this scene, and only partially because of what happened directly before it.

I love the way everybody just gets up and moves past their trauma and just decides to politely ignore it, oh they still have it, they still deal with it, but they care, and they are careful about it, and even though it hurts them like a knife-wound to the kidney in slow-motion they still get back up and keep fucking going. That’s hella admirable and I can respect that, I can respect even more that they slowly but surely let themselves heal as time moves on. This fic is beautiful on so many different levels but it is this one perhaps, that is the most magnificent. Perhaps.

Sasuke is adorable and depressing and adorable and I love it. And Ino is still a bad bitch but she’s a kid so we only see it like a handful of times in the first two chapters. The Akimichi/Yamanaka/Nara are all great, and I occasionally pity Inionchicause like, he’s putting up with a well-informed seal genius that’s still hyper, a slightly frightening medic-kunoichi with giant dogs, another slightly more frightening medic-nin who isn’t the greatest fighter but damn can he be intimidating and also really good at pointing out “Certain Things” while judging you about them which, honestly, is my greatest pastime. Itachi is so sweet and then so tragic oh my gods, and Natsu never even considers giving up on him. Kakashi is so sweet, and he slowly becomes less of a beaten dog as time goes on and I just love all of these characters.

Except for Hiruzen. Well, no, I still love this particular incarnation of Hiruzen, for all that he’s got one hell of a pathetically small backbone, I get why he does shit. But that doesn’t make me happy. Still, he’s better than dumbledouchebag. Granted that’s not difficult, and you might have to actively put an effort in to be as bad as that guy, but still. Plus, his hearts in the right place, and he’s less about the greater good then... certain disgraces to teaching and being in charge of a large group of people... Hiruzen is actually kinda sweet and admits he has issues and actually has an excuse that’s understandable for the shit that he pulls which is great, if sadly uncommon.

Anyways, Sakura is terrifying, and I remembered why I had a crush on her. She’s so badass, also, she ends up Princess Mononoke basically which, honestly, is fucking great, and the best thing we could’ve asked for, I love all of these characters so much!!!

Aesthetic: It reminds me off beefy stew (We don’t eat beef, so we used vegan soy beef stuff instead, and it was just as good.) it reminds me of the warmth, and friendship, and home that I felt after my mom and I make dinner together with nothing but a little music on and jokes passing back and forth between us. It reminds me of scraping my knee and having my friends help me to their mom, it reminds me of loyalty and compassion. It reminds me of dancing outside at night, alone in the forest with nothing but the moon for company and wind for music. It reminds me of the first time I realized that I could love someone despite their gender and that I should despite mine. It reminds me of finely spun handmade lace, and all it’s delicate while also reminding me of the sturdiest of steels, it reminds me of so much. It reminds me of acceptance, and understanding, and so much more. If I were to say what food and drink it reminds me of, I’d say chicken noodle soup, and sweet lavender-lemon tea.

Music Aesthetic: So, I made a playlist while I was reading this the first time around, and instead of a gif or twenty like I would usually prefer to do I’m going to add that playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbhXmTSBbAyjk0m1b4BZUp3t0RHL83LDK

But if I were to add a gif or two it’d be these

Because something about this fic reminds me of rainy days with tea and baggy clothes.

Every time Natsu/Naruto decided to fight ever, to be honest.

Oooookay so 3, 10, 11, 12, 17, 32, 38, 39, 42 and that should be enough lol

Oh man XD Thanks so much, Chloe! I think I quite agree, it’s enough :P

I answered 3, 17, and 32 here! And 39 here!

10. Which was your favorite trial from THH?

I think that the 5/6th trial is an obvious one!It was something built up throughout the game (and it gets a bit ridiculoushow many times we hear about “MukuroIkusaba, the 16th student, hidden somewhere in this school. The one theycall the "ultimate despair."” It put’s Naegi’s and Kirigiri’slives on the line, with Naegi ultimately getting chopped off because he got soclose to the truth that the trial was a farce. And then saved, because of luck?He did a good deed and Alter Ego saved him for it? I guess Kirigiri’s optionwas more of a dream ending than anything canon, anyways, so it doesn’t matter.I remember how hyped I was, because for once no one was actually technicallyblackened… no one actually killed anyone since Sakura’s dying wish moved themthat much. I’m still not really fond of some things, like Hagakure thinkingKirigiri was a ghost in the 5th trial? And I have a few otherthings, like how they all decide Naegi was guilty in the first place. Kirigiriwas pushing them to that conclusion so she could show the trial was a farce inthe first place, and she wasn’t expecting the mastermind to cut the trial shortand lie about who killed Mukuro. I still kind of feel pretty bad about thatpart in particular, although she’s clearly super angry it turned out that way,she really didn’t want Naegi to be voted the blackened. The 6thtrial, though, I really liked the reveal of Junko, not even being the “Junko”they met, and how her face was covered in every picture… As a person whostarted off with the anime, I didn’t exactly have time to catch that particulardetail (I should rewatch it sometime honestly, see how much info was reallyleft out). The world being in an apocalypse… a little bit less exciting I guessthan the Junko reveal. And Naegi being proclaimed the Ultimate Hope was cheesy,but kind of expected and in that moment, it was empowering!

(Although it was hard not to say Sakura’s trial for thisquestion, simply because gosh I LOVE Sakura)

11. Which was your favorite trial from SDR2?

I flipflop between trials five and six, honestly XD I’llchoose the 5th Trial though for now! Trial 5 had my top threecharacters playing really important roles, and it made me appreciate Komaedaand Nanami. I was touched Nanami wasn’t really fighting the fact she wasblackened and there was a mystery to her and Komaeda that is unresolved, andeverything about the trial was a rollercoaster of emotions XD This is great forHinata’s character, as well, as he actually is able to understand Komaeda’splan. The trial breaks my heart in how cruel it was to all of the characters,Komaeda dying horrifically through a plan he made himself, and Nanami, a personso against the killing game, ended up killing someone unknowingly… and Hinatahad been so close to Nanami, and probably the closest person to Komaeda on theisland, that it’s hard not to feel bad for him, too, for his losses. Not to saythe others who died were less, just that they weren’t as close to him. And thenof ourse, the actual plan was chaoticgenius. That was a really wild ride of a trial!

12. Which was your favorite trial from V3?

The only one that really held my interest in a more positiveway was probably the fourth one! Because the rules of the virtual world meantthe creators didn’t have to defy actual laws of physics and, well, commonsense, it actually makes sense.Mostly. The one thing that I guess doesn’t is where Kokichi got the flashbacklight? Anything to do with Kokichi leads to plotholes in the story, I swear… Thatand Miu’s partnership with him is ??? Still, I found it to be an emotionaltrial because… it was really not Gonta’s fault even when it was… I really likedhim, he was really sweet.

But yeah, this trial is the only one that I’d say was a goodmurder case in V3, with the others kind of just working through chance? Pureluck? Idk, they were just so weird…

38. Which character doyou feel is too popular amongst the fans, in your opinion?

Ouma… and look, I really don’t hate him at all, but thereasons people say they like him don’tmatch up. “He’s a complex character!” No, he really isn’t… the creators of thegame explained next to nothing about him and his past. Any bit of complexity isprojected thoughts on his character. My prime example is when someone who knowsJapanese had said that Spike Chunsoft had gave a hint that Ouma hatesmurder/killing, which the translators of the game “removed,” when it waseventually proven by native Japanese speakers that there was no suchcomplicated connotation. So everyone to this day keeps spreading this rumoraround that Ouma hates murder/killing as if it was an integral part of his character.

And my honest thoughts on why people like Ouma is… becausehe likes guys and is dismissed by his classmates. He has a crush on Saihara,clearly, and might have had crushes on Rantarou and Momota. His continueddismissal by Saihara and the others serve as the base for people to project their story on Ouma, with them addingmeaning to him to make him out to be a more complex character. They willed him to be important. They ignoredthe plotholes he creates by having knowledge of things we don’t know why heknows, or having a flashback light from a room a keycard opened, which we nevergo to see where that was, or writing a complete script for Momota for the trialin the three hours he had left to live… This isn’t a complex character- this isthe creators of the game making a decision not to explain important details becausethey can get away with it, as he is a liar. The problem with a liar is that younever really know him at all. You canonly guess.

What I dislike about Ouma is the fact that people arepolicing that he is a complex character based on, well, not that much. He doesn’tgive that much, so they make up things to make him seem more complex than heis. The reasons to like him should be his personality, how silly he is, thefact that he’s a great actor… and it can be that you think you can relate tohim. But just in general, I just don’t like the hype around Ouma and peopleputting their noses up at others who have differentinterpretations of Ouma.

42.  How do you feel about the Danganronpafandom as a whole?

The Danganronpa fandom as a whole… it’s done me a lot ofgood, even with all the bad it’s done, too. Through this fandom, I came out ofmy shell. I’ve never been confident enough to write for a fandom and post it. Ihad, once, when I was in middle school, but with a fandom as large as Naruto,the work got drowned out and it wasn’t all that good, honestly, so I nevertried again XD I absolutely would never have created fanart for the fandom,either XD It was rough in the beginning, but I found my artstyle!

But most importantly of all, I’ve met some really incrediblepeople! It’s because of these friendships I’ve made that I got the courage todo more. I could write, I could draw, I could create pixel art, I couldanimate, I could run events and participate in them, I could become a part of azine, and I could mod a zine… All ofthese things I never would have had the courage to do alone. And even outsideof fandom, they would support me, validate my frustrations, congratulate me onmy victories, listen to me, laugh with me…

I met some important people who I’ll never forget. I havefriends who I hope will stick around for long past the fandom. And well, I foundsomeone I actually really love through this fandom as well ^^ (he runs eventswith me on the Hinaegi blog

I’ll admit, my active participationin the fandom is pretty weak these days with me getting sucked into playingPokemon in my free time instead… but Danganronpa’s left its mark. Even with allthe bad of fandom “discourse,” fandom drama, and some really rude people onsome rare occasions, it was worth it to have found the confidence and supportthat I did!

The fandom is far from dead, rude people may still exist,but at least at the moment, I’m pretty comfortable where I am in it with the otherpeople that have made my stay a welcome one!

#mehere #I hope you know I consider you one of the incredible people I've enjoyed interacting with! #serahne-is-here

Introductions in Order

We begin our journey with quite the unusual scene.

Morgana: "...y" Morgana: "Hey! Wake up!"

Morgana. Waking Joker up, rather than telling him to go to bed.

This must be some sort of elseworld or something.

Also, WHAT IN THE UNHOLY NAME OF SATANAEL IS WRONG WITH MONA’S MODEL HERE JEZUS--

Morgana: "So you're finally up. You do know class has been over for quite a while, right?"

Ren: >"What was that cinema...?" >"What was that butterfly...?"

“W-Wait, he actually saw that butterfly? I kind of assume it was just part of the intro...”

“Those butterflies... Whenever they appear, it means something special is about to happen.”

“Yeah... Like a call for help...”

“...*cough* That is... not the inherent, intended meaning of the Butterfly...”

“...A herald of the Master above even our Master, the blue Butterfly is a symbol of human fate and its potential.”

“So, we’re watching a flick about... potential...? Huh?”

“......”

>Yosuke doesn’t even attempt to comprehend and just stuffs a hand of popcorn in his mouth. He’s seen too much to still be baffled.

Morgana: "Butterfly...? What are you talking about?"

Morgana: "Hey now, get a grip. Did you have a strange dream or something?"

Morgana: "Anyway, now that you're awake, let's go home. We still have to decide what you're going to do today." 

Ren: >Right, let's do that. >I'm still sleepy .

Jesus, Joker, what are you, Makoto Yuuki??

In any case, Morgana acts supportive of our exhaustion, given how this is before the Casino dungeon and he gets everything has been a bit much lately. He tells Ren that he’s got his back. D’aww~ 

In front of the school...

Ryuji: "Finally, class is over! That sure was hell..."

Ryuji: *yawn* 

Ryuji’s animations are adorable.

Ryuji claims he hasn’t been able to sleep lately because their Phantom Thief work has kept him so excited. He says that’s probably why he keeps falling asleep in class. However, a certain cat thinks otherwise.

Morgana: "Um, haven't you ALWAYS been napping in class, Ryuji?"

Ryuji tells him to shuddup. 

Ryuji: "We still got plenty of time till our next deadline, but how about we go gather at the hideout?"

Ren: >”Let's meet up.” >”Should we, though?” >”Let's go have Ramen first.”

I really could go for some Ramen.

Ryuji: "Whoa, you sure are taking it easy... Oh, whatever! I want some Ramen too."

Morgana: "Hey, you guys, it's still too early to think about dinner. Let's go to the hideout first."

First my nighttime slots, now my food. Will Morgana ever stop taking the things I love??

Haru: "Oh, it's you two!"

Ryuji: "Hey, nice timing! We were just talking about going to the hideout."

Haru: "Good, I happen to have some after-school time to spare today. The situation at our company has calmed considerably by now."

Ryuji sends texts for everyone to come in.Everyone replies in 2 seconds flat

Ryuji stares at his phone.

They are all going to Leblanc.

Morgana: "Alright! Then we're unanimous: Today we shall conquer another section of Mementos!"

Not if destiny has a word to put in, Mona.

Futaba: “Roger that! I will put my all into navigating.”

After best girl appears, she gets an intro screen. Everyone does.

FUTABA SAKURA. The adopted daughter of the owner of your current residence. Was a Hikikomori when you first met her. Has genius hacking skills. Her code name within the Phantom Thieves is “Oracle”.

It actually says “Navi”, but for the sake of consistency with the localization, I’ll go with “Oracle”.

“Oh, we’re all getting intros? That’s convenient.”

“Yeah, it’s really going to save time on introductions.”

HARU OKUMURA. A 3rd year at Shujin Academy and thus your Senpai. The heiress of her father’s large company, “Okumura Food”. In some ways, she is rather naive towards the world. Her Code Name is “Noir”.

ANN TAKAMAKI. A 2nd year and your classmate. A 1/4 American girl, with a bright, caring personality. Sometimes works part time as a magazine model. Her Code Name is Panther.

Ann: "Hey, Makoto. I don't mind going to Mementos today, but do you think it's okay to not tackle the Palace yet...?"

Makoto: "Don't worry. Honing our skills first is important. The next one is one battle we can't lose."

It’s nice to have it referenced how important that upcoming dungeon was to Makoto.

“...I remember that day. That was when we gathered at the Hide Out to take Akechi into Mementos for the first time.”

“Why are we seeing that though? I don’t remember anything special happening back then. We fought some Shadows and that was it.”

“...Akechi?”

> Naoto listens up.

“Goro Akechi? You knew him...?”

“Ah... Now, that’s gonna take some explaining...”

“It’s gonna be easier to just let them see. I have a feeling it is coming up anyway.”

MAKOTO NIIJIMA. A 3rd year and your Senpai. An accomplished Student Council President of high moral standards. Occasionally also shows a less restrained side.  Her Code Name is “Queen”. 

YUSUKE KITAGAWA. A second year at Kousei High, where he studies Art. Has promising potential as an artist. Rather eccentric and emotional, he seems to live in his own little world. His Code Name is “Fox”.

MORGANA. A mysterious cat you met in the Metaverse. Transforms from a normal cat into a bizarre mascot. Can also transform into a car. His Code Name is “Mona”.

“... ‘Mona’.” 

> Yosuke squints. 

“Everyone got themselves badass Code Names, and you went for... Mona.”

“J-Just so you know, I object to EVERYTHING in that description!”

“Ah, so you CAN’T transform into a kitty-car! Geez, and bear I was confused about how that would go!”

“...ALMOST everything!”

“... Come to think, you guys are pretty unfazed by the fact that Mona-chan can talk...”

“We have Teddie. We’re beyond surprising.”

“And I’d say at this point, Teddie is only the tip of the proverbial ice berg.”

“It’s actually kind of surprising that there’s something that similar to Morgana out there. I always kind of thought he was one of a kind.”

“I-I AM one of a kind, Lady Ann! You should know that!”

“Yeah! And so am I by the way, Ann-chan~!”

“...Don’t call her that...!”

> Angry cat hissing noises.

Ryuji: “Well, doesn’t matter if Palace or Mementos, we just gotta do it to it!”

 The model looks better from this angle. 

RYUJI SAKAMOTO. A 2nd year. Used to be Star of the Track Team. Passionately hot-blooded and immature. His impulsiveness sometimes gets him into trouble. His Code Name is “Skull”.  

Ryuji: "By the way, where's that guy? This would be our first time taking him to Mementos, too..."

Ryuji: "I mean, it'd be a shame if we had to just 'forget' about him..."

Akechi: Sorry to make you wait.”

Ryuji: “Ugh.”

Futaba: “Speak of the devil.”

“That’s...”

“Goro Akechi. I did hear that he had infiltrated the ranks of the Phantom Thieves for a while during the mission that lead to the temporary capture of their leader.”

“I see... I wasn’t allowed access to the files regarding the case, so I had no idea.” 

GORO AKECHI. A third year student. A high school aged private detective. His sharp sense for deduction and reasoning, as well as his looks have earned him a lot of fame. He is also called “The second coming of the Detective Prince”. His Code Name is “Crow”.

“Whoaaaaa! What a Bishie! He’s almost up there with me on the pretty-boy scale...!!”

“Yeah, that is one thing he had going for him...”

“ Mitsuru-san, if I may ask...”

“Of course. Once we’re done here, I will give you a complete copy of the case file, Shirogane.”

“Thank you. This is all very interesting...”

“Infiltration, huh...? Yeah, that’s the right word for it...”

“Not like we fell for it, of course. But we did need to play along with him for just a while. Else we wouldn’t have been able to put an end to his games.”

“His ‘games’, huh...”

> Yosuke already doesn’t like the guy. 

> Your Code Name is “Joker”. You are the Leader of the Phantom Thieves.

“I thought I felt something ‘Senpai’-ish from that guy...”

“Yeah, that guy does feel special... He may have the same power as Sensei and Ai-chan!”

“The power of the ‘Wild Card’...”

“...”

>Marie looks up, seemingly slightly disinterested. 

“I don’t know what you mean. Yu is Yu. There’s only one of him.”

“That may be. But even so, it is surprising, to see that there is such a number of Persona Users who share the same powers as...”

“...”

“In any case. It will be interesting to see how this, as they say ‘plays out’.”

After this scene, the Phantom Thieves head out for Mementos. There’s a badass cutscene which shall be shared.

Eyes on you

Mini serie ( Chapter 1 ) | ( Chapter 2 ) | ( Chapter 3 ) | ( Chapter 4)

Genre: Drama, Romance, Mature, Action

Author: Sakura Choi (Me)

 A/n: Surprise Character.

Was early in the morning when you woke up, everyone was still asleep. You looked at your brother to see him without half of the blanket. You tucked him and gave a kiss in his forehead ‘’how can he sleep so peacefully’’ you thought to yourself as your head off to the kitchen. You went to coco, give her food, and change her bowl of water as you played a little bit with that little white ball.

It was time to cook the breakfast ‘’maybe is rare for them to eat home cocked food’’ you murmured to yourself when you looked to the kitchen looking for the ingredients. You decide to make the typical American breakfast first to Mark, Tom luad moo for Bambam, Rice porridge for your brother just like mom used to make and for the rest you made Soondubu Stew with many side dishes. You made enough of each food for everyone cold eat, like those moms that cook for an entire month. You had your headphones on, so you didn’t noticed the boys gathering around the dining table as they looked at you cocking they talked, after a while you got surprised.

‘’Oh my god, why didn’t you told your guys were here already?’’ you said catching your breath again ‘’Nonna we didn’t want to disturb you’’ said Yugyeom ‘’But wow you made quite a lot’’ said Jinyoung with his mouth open surprised ‘’Well, I figured you guys don’t eat too much home cocked food so there you go’’ you smiled ‘’where is Jiji ?’’ you looked around and the boys made gestures that indicate that he was still asleep, you went to wake him up ‘’Jiji wake up~ I made Rice porridge for you’’ you told him as you pulled him out of bed.

You served the table and went to eat with them ‘’Wow it’s delicious thank you so much Y/N’’ said Mark stuffing his mouth with the food ‘’Nonna you cook thai food very well’’ said Bambam while he gave a little to Youngjae who didn’t said something at all he just stuff his mouth with the food the entire time ‘’Y/A-ah I am thankfull for the food, tell us later if we can do something for you’’ Jaebum said as he have you a soft smile ‘’Thank you Jae’’ you replied Jackson interrupted you saying ‘’Let’s play rock, paper, scissors the loser wash the dishes’’ in the game Jaebum lose and Jackson smirked ‘’no one is going to make a movement on my sister’’ he thought to himself as Jaebum quietly laughed and went to do the chores, which was not a lot only what they used the rest was already clean.

‘’Jiji, can you go with me to rent a car? This week I need to start looking for apartments, job and need to look to the university I will go’’ you said to Jackson ad you stand up and stretch ‘’Already? You can stay here if you want’’ he said pouting to you ‘’You know I can’t, this is your place I want to have my space, you know it’s always been like that’’ you said hugging him as you pushed him to the bedroom so you two could talk better.

‘’She is really something, isn’t she?’’ said Youngjae to the boys, they all agreed. After a while, you left the room already change while Jackson was still showering to go with you. You had some tight jeans and a white blouse that showed a little bit of your shoulder and your black jacket. ‘’Wow you look pretty Y/N’’ said Youngjae to you ‘’thank you oppa?’’ you laughed as his opened his eyes ‘’can I call you like that?’’ he nodeed excited you smiled as you headed to the balcony where Jaebum was you didn’t noticed at first but you kind of wanted to talk with him ‘’Can I sit here with you Jae?’’ he looked at you and nodded ‘’of course’’ he took a deep breath and said ‘’You look pretty’’ you smiled and blushed ‘’Thank you’’ you said ‘’Do you have any plans for today?’’ you asked  ‘’Well not really, today is my day off all of the boys are leaving after a while and will come home late today I think Jackson too, didn’t he told you?’’ Jaebum said ‘’Ah yeah, he told me to drop him at the company before coming home’’ you replied looking to your phone. The word home played in Jaebum’s hear like a thousand times ‘’So Y/A-ah do you want to go eat something t-tonight ?’’ he cleared his throat as he spoke, you looked at him surprised ‘’For me its good but you better take me to some place nice’’ you both laughed really loud as he nodded to you ‘’don’t worry’’

Inside of the house Jinyoung and Mark were talking when they suddenly heard you two laughing ‘’These two are getting along very well more than I expected’’ Said Jinyoung to Mark ‘’You are right, but Jaebum doesn’t have a girlfriend?’’ said mark raising his eyebrow ‘’Yeah, he cant be like that but I don’t think is nothing serious after all is Jackson sister he need to be good to her’’ said Jinyoung trying to avoid any other thought about it as he left the living room.

You left the house with your brother to rent a car for you ‘’Where are you going to do you Master?’’ asked Jackson while the manager took you both in the car ‘’I didn’t told? I got this scholarship in Seoul University’’ you told Jackson like if was not a big deal ‘’YOU WHAT? WHERE?’’ he said really surprised ‘’Oh my god my little sister is a genius’’ he said squeezing you ‘’Stop it’s not a big deal really, I just want to get some money to help mom and dad, go there once in a while since you can’t because you are busy’’  he nodded ‘’And I sorry for that you know, but every time I go I try to visit them’’ he made a sad face ‘’When you finish promoting your album lets go for a weekend there, it’s been so long since we all have been together’’ you said to him.

‘’Ah also, Jae is taking me to dinner tonight since no one is going to be around. That’s ok, right?’’ you asked your brother who immediately frowned ‘’He is what?’’ he exclaimed ‘’Look Y/A-ah I love Jaebum Hyung but be careful with him, ok? I don’t want you to end up hurt’’ you looked at your brother surprised ‘’Do you really think I am looking for a relationship now? Also. he is the leader of the group and famous, I barely make money with my job’’ you said in an angry tone to Jackson ‘’Also he is just being nice with because I am your sister, I get your jealous side and you are worried but c’mon’’ you raised your voice a little bit. You were not the kind of person to get angry or raise your voice with your brother, Jackson looked surprised at you ‘’I know I am sorry, its just because I know what kind of guy he is’’ re replied and the conversation stopped in that moment, because you both arrived at the company to rent the car, after that you both forgot that you even talked about it.

In the way to JYP while you were driving, you and your brother just listened to some music, laughing and just talking in general. ‘’Can you go inside with me for a bit ? I want to introduce you to someone, is my friend that will be in this show with me’’ Jackson said ‘’Sure Jiji, talking about it you should tell your Boss Park Jinyoung that mom send him something, she is still very thankful for that time we brought her and dad here’’ you said smiling ‘’It was a shame I couldn’t come’ you pouted ‘’But hey now you are here, we can spent most of the time together’’ said Jackson giggling.

Both arrived at the JYP building as you went your brother introduced you to everyone that he knew, you received a lot of strange looks and you were starting to feel a little uncomfortable you tugged Jackson shirt as a sign that you wanted to leave he understood ‘’Wait,  he is here in this room after this you leave’’ you nodded to him and entered in the room with you brother where he was, Jooheon from Monsta X. He was a little bit more tall than you brother but ‘’Oh man, he has a nice body’’ you thought to yourself.

‘’YO MY BROTHER’’ Jackson yelled to Jooheon, he looked to Jackson ‘’YO MY MAN” and yelled back, the two started goofing around and you stood there looking confused, without knowing what to do.  ‘’Jooheon-ah this is my sister Y/A, I wanted to introduce her to you’’ said Jackson grabbing your arm pulling you closer to him, you slight bowed to him ‘’Nice to meet you’’ you said ‘’Oh, I am sorry for my rudeness and loudness. I am Jooheon, nice to meet you Y/A’’. That little sentence made you heart flutter ‘’don’t worry about it Jooheon-shi’’ you replied and gave the warmest smile you could ever give ‘’Shinkun (Heart fluttler)’’ screamed Jackson you hit your brother arm to make he stop ‘’Well its great to meet you but I have to go now’’ you said you goodbyes and kissed your brother in the cheek and hugged him. Once you got in the car you received a message on Kakao talk ‘’Hey Y/A its Joonheon, Jackson gave me your number in case he can’t communicate with you, so you can talk to me’’ you looked flustered because you knew what your brother was up too ‘’It’s ok, let’s talk later I will drive now’’ you replied and sent a emoticon to not sound so serious and he replied with another one ‘’Be careful on your way’’

You put some music, got the GPS ready and left. In your way to the dorm you started thinking about what your brother meant when he said he knew what kind of guy Jaebum was ‘’maybe he is a fuckboy or something like ?’’ you thought to yourself ‘’well is none of my business it’s not that I like him or anything’’ you murmured, you didn’t give too much thought as you drive, jammed to the songs of your playlist.

Once you arrived at dorm, you heard the television on and went to the living room to only see Jaebum napping on the couch ‘’isn’t he cold?’’ you murmured, you grabbed a blanket and put it over him to cover his body, once you were leaving he grabbed your hand ‘’d-don’t leave me’’ he murmured..

Across the Blue Fields

Ichi , Ni , San 

Chapter Four

"Shi"

She clings to him when she has no one else to cling on to.

When Naruto has finally realized that she would never return his feelings and had started looking towards Hinata's way.

She clings to him when memories of the empty valley save for the blonde jinchuuriki resurface.

She clings to him when she has had a particularly bad day and she couldn't erase the sight of those lifeless eyes.

She clings to him.

She clings to Nara Shikamaru.

And he clings to her too.

It happens when Ino gets too busy because she has immersed herself in her missions.

It happens the moment Temari stops visiting. She never asks him why but assumes it must be too troublesome to delve into.

It happens every time he visits the graves of the two men who made the biggest impact in his life.

Their relationship is built on mutual respect and understanding because they both know exactly how it feels.

To know that they could've done something more to save the people they love.

But they allow themselves this. Two shinobi with high IQ who are seeking comfort from the other because they don't want anyone to see it.

.

.

.

The fact that they are far too vulnerable to do anything else.

______________

She doesn't know how many times he has caught her doing it. Probably more than five times or a more specific number if he had given himself a moment to think about it.

Still though, he isn't the person she expected to come comfort her during a time like this.

In the beginning, whenever he saw her crying, he would give her a little talk on how she shouldn't be. Or a random compliment like "you're stronger than this" to make her feel better. But after a while, she had noticed that Shikamaru merely gave her his silence and a firm hand on her shoulder whenever he unintentionally stumbles upon her crying alone in her office.

Of course, if Ino were there, she would've listened, and she would've done something to distract her from the sadness. But her blonde best friend had been trying to move on as well, had taken a long mission with Sai, saying that it was her way of asking the former anbu on a date.

So when four years pass without news of Uchiha Sasuke's whereabouts. And four years was too long to be searching for someone without any leads, Team Seven finally decided to come to terms with the fact that he may never be found.

At first, they would've wanted to plaster MIA on his status. Sakura preferred it that way. Still hopeful that was indeed the case.

Until one day, in the fourth year of Sasuke's birthday without knowing if he was still alive, Naruto finally breaks the silence, and at the same time shatters their hopes.

It had been the team's tradition: Celebrating his birthday by themselves, knowing fully well that Sasuke himself wouldn't have celebrated it on his own.

The blonde shinobi had suddenly broken down crying after having a few drinks, mumbling incoherent words until they no longer seemed incoherent.

"I killed him."

"I killed my best friend."

Sakura's eyes had widened and she had not hesitated in wrapping her arms around him. Kakashi gave her a look and they both sat down to listen to what Naruto had to say.

"I'm so sorry Sakura-chan. Sasuke's dead because of me. He's dead! I killed him!"

Her tears had started flowing without her noticing.

"We haven't found a body yet."

"Sakura's right."

Kakashi's grip on his student's shoulder tightens.

"He could be somewhere Naruto. Don't blame yourself for this."

"You don't get it Sakura-chan. I would've died if you weren't there. He could've died too."

His reasoning was spot on, and just as bit as convincing as when he gave her his promise of a life time.

The news hinders her resolve, but she tries to push through anyway.

"Sasuke-kun is strong, as strong as you, he could've, he could've... He wanted to become hokage so he wouldn't have given up so easily..."

She knows at this point that she isn't making any sense, mentioning Sasuke's spur of the moment announcement. And she knows that out of everyone, Naruto was the one who had the strongest bond with the last Uchiha.

If he was giving up like this.

Then...

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise Sakura-chan."

She hugs him tighter.

"Don't...You don't have to apologize. You shoudn't have to apologize. I'm the one who's sorry for putting that burden on you."

Their sensei is looking at them with the saddest eyes she's ever seen and then proceeds to put a hand on her shoulder as well.

Sakura closes her orbs and lets her tears fall freely, whole body being choked with sobs.

"You saved us. You saved us. Sasuke-kun wanted to... he wanted to kill the kages..."

"He admitted that he lost."

Her breath hitches at the revelation.

"He told me to transfer his rinnegan to Kakashi-sensei, to undo the tsukiyomi. He came back Sakura-chan, he came back! I got through to him."

"Naruto..."

"He died... while I lost consciousness...someone or something probably took him away. It's my fault. It's all my fault."

And that's the last thing Naruto says, before his sobs drain all his energy and the alcohol's depressing effects finally put him to sleep.

She is left there with Kakashi as she lets the news sink in.

Sasuke is dead.

"Sakura."

A hand goes to wipe away the tears in her eyes.

"We should have a proper burial for him."

"Sakura."

"He should be known as a hero to everyone."

"Sakura."

"And his brother too."

"Okay."

"He was good in the end, wasn't he sensei? He was good."

It is the first time Sakura sees her mentor tear up. So she hugs him, as she too continues to cry.

.

.

.

They are the only ones who mourn over Uchiha Sasuke's death.

______________

"What are you still doing here?"

Her shoulder flinches.

"The wind is harsh today, and it's autumn, so the leaves are already making a mess of things Shannaro."

"Do you need any help?"

Sakura looks over her shoulder to acknowledge Shikamaru. He is still wearing his black clothes, with a cigarette in his hand.

"I'm fine. I can manage."

"You're not fine."

The pinkette halts her actions.

"I suppose not. But you don't have to worry about me Shikamaru."

He bends down to pick up some of the leaves to uncover the name on the grave.

"Actually, I do. Ino would kill me if I leave you alone. She's hurrying back."

"What? she doesn't need to."

"I know you'd do the same for her."

It is then when she starts crying again and she pats her hands over her dress to dust off the traces of the fall wind. A pale, and chilled hand goes to her pocket to get the incense.

She's trying to light them up, but her tears hinder her vision and she ends up having difficulty in accomplishing such a simple task.

"Here, let me."

He takes out his lighter.

The dark haired genius claps his hands with her as they say their prayers. Then he gets up and offers his hand to help her stand. Sakura accepts his chivalry.

Shikamaru takes another cigarette out of his pocket, lights it and inhales deeply then lets out a stream of smoke.

"You should come over and play shogi with me some time."

The suggestion is surprising and extremely flattering considering her superior's intellect.

"Wouldn't you be constantly winning though? Besides, I haven't played that game much."

He smirks.

"You probably just need some practice. It's a strategy game. You'd definitely be good at it."

Her classmate was too full of surprises. Maybe he approached her with the intention of answering to his teammate's whims, but what he was doing now is super thoughtful.

She tilts her head to try to understand him more.

"I used to play it with Asuma-sensei. When he died, my father was the only one who could challenge me on it, and then he... well you remember what happened."

"I'm sorry for your loss."

"Nah, that was four years ago. But thank you."

There is a comfortable silence there as Sakura takes one last glimpse at the name that has been in her heart for so many years.

.

.

.

"I'll take you up on that offer then."

______________

There is a certain connection between them. It's there every time they play shogi and she gives him a smug look when he pauses for too long before making his next move.

She moves her chip onto a spot she couldn't recall considering.

"You're distracted."

"Eh?"

"Come on Sakura, with that, you and I both know that I'd win in three more moves."

She glances at the board and sits up straight.

"You're right."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine actually. Slept late is all."

"Naruto wanted to talk again huh?"

At this point, she has already accepted the truth that not only was Shikamaru a good strategist, but he was good at reading people too.

"Look at you, you should work with me in the children's clinic."

"Again, I don't think I'll ever be good with kids."

She laughs and makes a move that will ensure that the game ends.

When he makes his last move, a heavy silence falls between them.

"He just wanted someone who could understand."

"He has Hinata."

"True, but he looks for me. Hinata can see that there are times that Naruto needs my comfort."

"That makes sense. But who is comforting you?"

Her eyes widen at his question. Ino had returned to Konoha for two weeks to help her through the loss of her former teammate, but like all shinobi, she had to go back to her duties. She never thought that she'd need that much comfort. She was thankful enough for Ino's.

Shikamaru is looking at her with an expression that is daring her to tell him that she's fine. After all, two months have already passed since they had the funeral.

She gently smiles.

"I guess it's you then?"

He lets out a smirk.

"Okay. Next game."

It is a steady friendship, one that builds up to something more in the successive months that pass by.

.

.

.

Sakura thinks that she is slowly moving on as well.

______________

"I'm going too."

"You'd be more useful here than in some far off village."

"It's dangerous."

"True, but I think she's the only one who can handle this with absolute discretion."

"Kakashi-sensei, I think Shikamaru's right, someone has to go with Sakura-chan."

"It's too risky. I trust my people, but not with this type of information. The only ones who know are the four of us."

"The Hokage is making a calculated decision you guys."

All three men turn to look at her.

"Such a thing existing... It's alarming. But we shouldn't jump hastily into it. We don't want to draw suspicion to that village."

"But what if they use it against you?"

A tough smile graces her features.

"Then I will have to fight it out right?"

"This woman."

Kakashi finishes signing the necessary paperwork, casting a jutsu to keep it sealed.

"The Nakanos have trusted us with this information. Based on their history, I am glad that the highest position went to someone who is wise and kind like Senji."

"And he is aware of the risks involved right? He knows what it can do?"

She has a serious expression on her face.

"He knows about the being we fought during the war."

Shikamaru scratches his head.

"Damn it."

"Then I'll go!"

Sakura turns to her blonde friend.

"Naruto. You have to believe in me this time. If you were sent there, with your current status, everyone would be suspicious. And while I trust in the kages, the information is just too risky to share with anyone else."

"But."

"I hate to do it, but I agree with Sakura. No one would think that she was visiting for any other reason than teaching medical ninjitsu. I don't like it. But it’s logical, considering that she's one of the four people who was able to take down Kaguya."

"We don't even know yet if what the Nakanos have is the real thing. We are just being cautious."

All shinobi turn silent.

Sakura stretches her arms to clasp them behind her back.

"As part of the neo-sannin, I am confident that I can do this."

"I still don't like it though."

"You're my boyfriend, of course you wouldn't."

She takes hold of Shikamaru's hand, immediately warming the man's cheeks.

"I promise I'll come back."

He squeezes her hand in return.

"I guess I'll have to find another person to play shogi with for the next six months."

______________

Her arm extends to the sky to accommodate the hawk carrying Shikamaru's latest letter.

"Sakura,

Your best friend says hi, she asked me to include this package since your whereabouts are still being kept confidential."

Sakura opens the parcel and gasps when she sees the framed picture of Ino with her engagement ring.

"She says that you owe her a present and that you better come home for the wedding. She's being troublesome, asking me about the details of our relationship. I'll leave that to you."

The young medic laughs.

"On a more serious note, Kakashi and I still think that the only solution is to keep its existence a secret. I understand that you believe that the civilians should be taught the basic ways of chakra control to be able to protect it but I know that even then, the risk would still be there.

It seems to me that your private lessons with the daimyo are making progress, considering that he was able to lift that boulder as you said.

We are relieved that the tree hasn't born fruit yet, but once it does, we cannot be too trusting. Send for back up immediately. But for now. The details of your mission should remain the same.

I've been doing some research, it was honestly a lot of work. I haven't had time to do anything else. But according to my readings, because the bud is still small, then there might be something else we can do to prevent it from growing. There is no record of anyone obtaining power from a bud.

The only thing I can think of is if it were sent to a place no one else can get to.

And like you said, uprooting it could not be done. What other strategies have you come up with?

Take care.

-Shikamaru."

She closes the letter immediately. Eyes lighting up with understanding, and gears turning in her head to form an answer because of Shikamaru's suggestion.

She pockets the letter and runs as fast as she can to the guest house. Her steps are light and quick. It doesn't take her a minute before she's pushing the door to his room open.

"Sasuke-kun."

The raven-haired nin bolts up, sleep evident in his eyes, considering that it is four in the morning.

"What... Sakura?"

He looks confused and obviously surprised. She wastes no time in going to the foot of his bed, excitement in her eyes.

"You can still use the Rinnegan right?"

Sasuke could only nod, not minding the fact that he was completely shirtless.

The Girl Who Waited [6/10]

Disclaimer & Other Warnings

Author's Note: Manako Inuzuka is an original character belonging to KuriQuinn. Don't use her without contacting the author for permission.

It’s been almost four months since Sasuke left. Four months since Sakura’s entire life was upended and thrown onto a path she never would’ve imagined. For herself or her friends.

She hasn’t seen Naruto in a weeks, not since he started travelling and training with Lord Jiraiya. He sends letters when he can, but they’re rare. She barely sees Kakashi anymore, either—he’s always off on one mission or another. And, of course, Sakura herself is busy training with Tsunade and interning at the hospital. Most days, she can push away the hurt and worry, but other days, it feels like the glaring absences in her life are even more obvious.

She supposes that’s why she makes the rounds on Valentine’s Day, passing out chocolate to her male friends. Anything for a bit of normalcy. Anything to pretend like she’s still a kid and not training until she bleeds almost every day to be strong enough to save the boy she loves.

Because she does love him.

Sakura knew she cared for Sasuke when they were little, but his complete absence in her life has created a gnawing, hollow void. The sensation is too painful for her feelings to have been a simple crush.

Somewhere along the line while she was on his team, learning to become a shinobi alongside him, Sasuke stopped being just a good-looking, smart boy to her. Sakura got to know him—the darkness he wore like armour, and the light he only revealed in his rarest, most unguarded moments. The boy who thanked her for loving him, instead of outright rejecting her even when he was leaving her behind. That boy needs to be saved, even if it is from himself. It’s why she let Naruto make a promise to bring him back. And, no matter what, she will be right beside him when they do.

Until that moment, she’s taking every day one at a time, trying to enjoy the little things that used to make her happy.

This year, there’s no way to send anything to Naruto—even if there was, she suspects Lord Jiraiya would eat it before her friend got a chance. The guy is a complete lout, legendary shinobi or not. As for Kakashi, with his frequent absences, he’s hard to pin down. Sakura considers giving her small gift to Gai-sensei to pass on, but she honestly can’t take his overwhelming exuberance today.

Instead, she heads downtown to Manako’s shop. If Kakashi checks in with anyone when he gets back from a mission, it’s either his rival or his...well, whatever Manako is to him. In any case, the Inuzuka woman is the more perceptive and relaxed of the two options.

Upon entering her little shop, the familiar scent of parchment, ink, and gunpowder wash over Sakura. Shelves with different scrolls and tags line the walls, each one able to create explosive blasts of varying degrees of severity and with different effects. Manako is a genius of demolition—probably due to her keen senses—and, for a civilian, understands the shinobi world better than most.

The woman herself is hunched over the counter, frowning at several complex equations on a scroll from beneath a fringe of dark hair. As Sakura ventures closer, Manako sniffs and glances up, smirking in recognition.

“Well, well, well. Look who it is,” she drawls, sliding her work away then straightening up, arms crossed. “It’s funny. You kind of remind me of this kid who used to come in here to buy tags. Skinny little thing, about so high?” She makes a motion toward her hip with one hand. “Usually with a loud, blond brat who smells like ramen?”

“Knock it off. I was here last month.”

“I’m just saying you used to be in here more often,” Manako sighs dramatically. “I still keep your usual order in stock, too. But then again, you don’t really have much use for that Sakura Fubuki technique of yours anymore, do you? Is it true that old Tsunade’s teaching you to break mountains?”

Sakura goes red. “Where did you hear that?”

“Well, Scarecrow talks a lot, doesn’t he?” she shrugs and then leers suggestively. “Or at least he does when you know what he likes.”

Sakura’s flattered modesty turns into embarrassed disgust just as fast. “Please stop talking now.”

It’s like thinking about parent-sex! Ugh. I should have gone with Gai-sensei after all!

But Manako laughs and mimes zipping her lips. “What can I do for you, kiddo?”

“I’m only here to drop something off for Kakashi. I always miss him when he’s home, so leaving it outside his apartment seems silly,” Sakura explains, handing over the small box of chocolates. “I mean, I doubt he’ll care either way, but...it’s Valentine’s Day.” She shrugs. “If you want them, go ahead.”

“Nah, never touch the stuff. Me and most of my family are allergic to it.”

Sakura blinks in surprise.

“That…makes sense. Hey, wait! Kiba always used to accept chocolate when we were in the Academy. He used to fight Naruto over it almost every year.”

“That’s because my brother’s a stubborn little bastard who would eat himself sick just to prove a point,” Manako replies dryly, reaching out to take the box. “But I can keep these in my fridge for Kakashi. He’ll wander by, eventually.” She eyes the small sack Sakura is carrying with her and raises an eyebrow. “More stops today?”

“Mm-hm,” Sakura acknowledges, readjusting her gloves; they are still too large for her, but she wears them everywhere. “I’ve got a bunch to give out to my other friends before my shift starts at the hospital.”

Lee should have just gotten back from a mission. Shikamaru and Chōji probably talked Ino into getting them barbecue. Sakura even caved and picked up something for Neji, even though he’s never been what she might call friendly to her. She doubts he’ll eat any of it, but he was part of the team who went after Sasuke to bring him back. She will be eternally grateful for that.

Sakura’s throat aches at the reminder, a sure sign that if she keeps thinking on this, she’ll start crying again. She clears her throat and suggests, “Then...should I get something different for Kiba?”

“Feh! Why bother? By now, it’s almost tradition. Baby brother pukes his guts up, Mom yells at him, and Hana fusses over the little runt until he’s feeling better—a vicious, unending cycle.”

“That’s ridiculous. If it’s something he knows hurts him, why does he keep doing it?”

Manako shrugs. “People don’t always like what’s good for them.”

Isn’t that the truth.

The words hit a little too close to home, so Sakura decides to cut the visit short. She pastes a smile on her face. “Anyway, that’s all I came in here for.”

Manako nods, her face taking on a more thoughtful cast than Sakura expects from her. After a beat, she asks, “How’re you holding up?”

The question is unexpected, considering she and Manako don’t exactly have a close friendship, but there’s no doubt to what she’s referring. Everyone in the village knows of Sakura’s one-sided feelings for the youngest Uchiha traitor. She knows people say things when they think she can’t hear, but she’s never taken Manako to listen to or care much for gossip.

In the hopes of side-stepping the issue, Sakura continues to smile, but it’s a little more strained now. “What do you mean? I’m fine.”

“No, you’re not,” Manako replies. “But I won’t push it if you’re set on faking it. Sometimes, it’s the only way to make it through the day.”

“What...what do you mean by that?”

She shrugs, piling her parchment and ink on top of the chocolates for Kakashi. “Nothing.”

But now Sakura is annoyed. “So, why did you say anything?”

The bomb-maker is silent for a long moment, but at the last second, pauses in her journey to the back of the shop. “Look, you’re not the first woman to get her heart broken by an Uchiha,” she tells her bluntly, though not in an altogether unkind manner. “It hurts. In a way, it will hurt forever. But that just makes you stronger. And at least yours is still alive, right? So, just hold on to that. And go out there and kick ass.”

She disappears into the back of the shop, leaving Sakura puzzling over that. The implications are strange and yet not as surprising as she would expect. Sakura forgets sometimes that Sasuke wasn’t always the only Uchiha in the village. In fact, if the reports she’s glimpsed on Lady Tsunade’s desk are any sign, he still isn’t.

Once, there was a whole clan, people who were part of this village. There are probably people still alive today who knew them, and now...now everyone pretends they didn’t exist.

The notion bothers her, and it’s still in her thoughts as she wanders alone through the Uchiha district at the end of her day. In her hands, she carries a small, potted cherry tomato plant which she bought at the market on her way home. She plants it behind Sasuke’s empty apartment, in a spot she knows from her last visit here gets a lot of sun.

Looking down at the lonely little plant, she thinks on Manako’s words and clenches her fists.

He’s alive. Somewhere, he’s alive. He will come back. And I’ll make sure no one forgets him!

Summoner/Subaki C-S Support

Written by Shauni

C SUPPORT

(y/n): …

(y/n): … Here he comes. Quick, act natural.

Subaki: So that’s where you were, Summoner! Do you have a moment?

(y/n): Hello, Subaki. I still have a few minutes before attending the war meeting, so yes. Is there something you need?

Subaki: Actually, yes, there is. I’ve just finished my training for today and was hoping you’d have some work for me.

(y/n): Work? Well, I suppose there’s always something that needs to be done around here… If I remember correctly, the armory could use some tidying…

Subaki: Oh, I’ve taken care of it this morning.

(y/n): Of course you did… Alright then… The archers left the training grounds without cleaning up behind them-

Subaki: I’ve already picked up the arrows. I’ve also disposed of the damaged targets and replaced them with new ones.

(y/n): … You’ve already sharpened the swords and replaced the training dummies as well, haven’t you?

Subaki: That’s right~ You know me well, Summoner~

(y/n): Not really. I was here when you did all that. In that case, I’m sorry, I don’t think there’s anything left to do.

Subaki: You… what?

(y/n): So you really didn’t see me? I followed you all morning. Not in a creepy way, of course, I just wanted to see if you really were going to take care of everything. And you did. Which is… pretty concerning, I have to say.

Subaki: (I… didn’t notice him/her at all…) What exactly do you mean by “concerning”?

(y/n): I mean you’re not alone in this army, Subaki. You should leave it to your fellow heroes to do certain tasks. From time to time, at least. I don’t want you to work yourself to death.

Subaki: … I see. Thank you for your solicitude, Summoner, but I am in tip-top form. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go back to training.

(y/n): Hey, wait! Subaki!… He left. This is gonna be harder than I thought.

[(y/n) and Subaki have reached support rank C.]

B SUPPORT

Subaki: *panting* Huff… Huff… That’s weird… I have been training for only 20 minutes and I’m already out of breath. That’s no good. Thankfully there’s no one to see me like this…

(y/n): Good morning, Subaki.

Subaki: Ah!

(y/n): Wah! My apologies, I didn’t mean to startle you.

Subaki: *panting* Summoner?! How did you sneak up on me again?!… I-It’s nothing. Nothing at all. What brings you here so early?

(y/n): Nothing much. Just checking on you. You know, the whole “don’t work yourself to death” thing I mentioned last time.

Subaki: Your worry is appreciated but truly unecessary. As I said before, I am as fresh as a daisy, as flawless as ever~

(y/n): No, you’re not! You look awful!

Subaki: Excuse me?

(y/n): No, not your face! I mean you’re visibly exhausted. If you could see yourself… Are you sure you don’t have a fever? Your cheeks are all red and you’re all sweaty and–

Subaki: !! Stop! Please spare me the details!

(y/n): Why? There’s nothing wrong with that. You’re very hardworking, all the time. I’d question your humanity if you weren’t… well, red and sweaty and–

Subaki: I said stop!

(y/n): …

Subaki: …

(y/n): … I’m sorry.

Subaki: Don’t be… I apologize for raising my voice. I shouldn’t have. After all, you just expressed concern for my well-being, right? I should be thankful.

(y/n): … Are you?

Subaki: …

(y/n): … What are you so afraid of? Imperfection?

Subaki: Well… I’m a perfectionist, if that’s what you mean… I believe everyone here knows it very well.

(y/n): Subaki, there is a line between perfectionism and phobia. I think you’ve crossed it.

Subaki: I’m afraid I don’t see your point. I am the living proof that perfection is attainable. Isn’t it logical to refuse to accept any standard short of perfection? Most people might be content with being “average”, but it is not my case. I strike to be as good as it is possible to be. How is that reproachable in any way?

(y/n): How? I’ll tell you how. Your quest for the best is not about a deep love for meticulousness. It’s about fear. Fear of messing up. Fear of failure. Fear of disappointing others… To be honest, I am worried. It must be so hard being you.

Subaki: !! That’s… My perfectionism is merely one of my personality traits. I take offence to hear you treating it as a disorder.

(y/n): Subaki, I–

Subaki: Let’s end this conversation here, Summoner. Please. Surely we both have better things to do.

(y/n): … Very well. Have a good day, Subaki.

[(y/n) and Subaki have reached support rank B.]

A SUPPORT

(y/n): Um… Subaki?

Subaki: Oh, Summoner. Are you here to continue our last conversation?

(y/n): N-no… Actually, I wanted to apologize. I told you mean, disrespectful things… and acted like I knew you better than you do yourself. I’m truly sorry. This won’t happen again.

Subaki: … *sigh* I accept your apologies. Will you please accept mine as well?

(y/n): Yours?

Subaki: Yes… I got defensive. And harsh. I should have handled this situation better.

(y/n): (Oh no, he’s dwelling on his mistakes again…) It’s okay! We’re both sorry then. You forgive me and I forgive you. Deal?

Subaki: Haha~ Deal.

(y/n): What a relief… Well then, I’ll leave you to your training. Glad this matter is settled.

[The Summoner leaves.]

Subaki: …

Subaki: Wait, Summoner!

[The Summoner comes back.]

(y/n): Yes?

Subaki: I… would like to discuss something with you. About what you said last time. However, I don’t think I can do this twice…

(y/n): Then I’m all ears. You won’t have to repeat, promise.

Subaki: Thank you.

Subaki: I come from a noble Hoshidan house. My family has served the royal family for generations and its reputation is immaculate. My parents, as well as my more distant family members, had great expectations for me before I was even born.

(y/n): This sounds… stressful beyond words.

Subaki: Indeed. As you know, I am one of Lady Sakura’s retainers. She is the youngest member of the Hoshidan royal family. I must appear perfect in all circumstances – socially, militarily and as a friend of hers. Everyone thinks of me as a prodigy… but the truth is… is…

(y/n): It’s alright, Subaki. Take your time.

Subaki: *panting* I… I’m no genius. My prowesses are not the result of effortless first tries, but of countless hours, days, weeks, months, sometimes years, of hard, meticulous and repetitive training. As a child, I was forced to train – not until I got it right, but until I was unable to get it wrong. When I was ten, I started getting dark circles under my eyes and cysts because of the stress… and even these were treated as imperfections to be eradicated. “Offences”, as my parents called them.

(y/n): This is… Oh my God, Subaki… I have no words.

Subaki: What I wanted to say is, you were right… I don’t particularly enjoy being the way I am. It’s my fear of failure that keeps me going.

Subaki: … Oh gods, there, I said it. I– I understand if you wish to send me back home now…

(y/n): Subaki… You will go back to Hoshido, when the times comes. But I’m not sending you back because you expressed your humanity. What kind of monster would do this?

Subaki: …

(y/n): … I think I know how you feel. But, listen, you did not disappoint me, alright? I am actually impressed. I didn’t think you’d be able to admit your flaws. To be completely honest with me. Especially after I harassed you so much about that.

Subaki: So… you won’t look down on me for not being the best?

(y/n): Everybody’s best is different, Subaki. You can’t always be the best… but you can always do your best. I know you always do. And let’s be honest, your best is pretty darn amazing.

Subaki: Haha! Normally I’d take offence to that… but this time, it’s music to my ears. Thank you, Summoner.

[(y/n) and Subaki have reached support rank A.]

S SUPPORT

(y/n): Well, I think we can call it a day! Thank you for helping me with these battle plans, Subaki. You provided invaluable advice.

Subaki: It was my pleasure, (y/n). I’m surprised you didn’t ask Robin or Soren to help you though. They are, after all, actual tacticians.

(y/n): Um… Soren would have… you know, been himself. And Robin wasn’t available. Training.

Subaki: Oh, really? Because I’ve seen him on my way here. He told me he offered his help and  you declined~

(y/n): !! T-that’s…

Subaki: Yes~? Can’t think of an excuse, can you?

(y/n): Argh! Alright, alright, you wipe that cocky grin off your face this instant! I just wanted to spend more time with you, okay?

Subaki: …

(y/n): Besides I knew you’d be good at this! Robin would have probably ended up planning everything on his own, making me stand here feeling useless…

Subaki: …

(y/n): … Subaki?

Subaki: … I can’t do this anymore.

(y/n): Um, what?

Subaki: You just said you want to spend more time with me, yes? Well, I do too. Much, much more time.

(y/n): Are you implying what I think you’re implying…?

Subaki: If you think that I find you incomparably charming and that I’ve fallen for you, then yes, I am. What about your feelings? I-I’d understand if they don’t match mine… after what I confessed last time.

(y/n): You mean, you not being a prodigy? Oh, Subaki. Come on, look at us. We come from two completely different worlds, met in a third world which existence was unheard of, and we don’t even know when we’ll be able to go home. You not being perfect is the most reassuring, realistic, comforting fact I’ve heard in a very, very long time.

Subaki: Then does this mean…

(y/n): Yes. Gosh, I’m stuck here in the middle of a war and I couldn’t possibly be more out of place or scared, but here I am, in love with you and refusing to let go.

Subaki: Gods, I… (y/n), I will always be a perfectionist. There is no turning back from it. But… around you… I feel like I can be as imperfect as I wish. So I have to ask you… Will… will you still love me when I mess up? When I… fail?

(y/n): Yes. Yes, always, yes.

Subaki: Won’t you get angry at me? Or be disappointed?

(y/n): Never. Remember, you’re just human. You’re not supposed to be perfect.

Subaki: And yet it took me years to learn to pretend to be perfect. I’m afraid it might take me years to accept that I, in fact, can not. Are you willing to remind me until then?

(y/n): *laughing* For you, I’ll make an ‘incomparably charming’ parrot.

Subaki: *laughing* Not even for a moment would I entertain the idea that you would not. Now, come here~

[(y/n) and Subaki have reached support rank S.]

Confession quote:

Subaki: We are so imperfect and yet so perfect for each other, darling. You and me, until forever ends.

15, 16 & 19 :) Also, I'm curious about what you think of the caracter of Sakura, like, she was my favourite and still is (only in fanon, 'cause in canon Kimi let a lot to desire xC) so I'm curious about what you think Kimi could have done to give she a really good role.

15. Favorite Naruto fan fiction?

Oh boi is this a hard one. I don’t really have one favourite but several, so i’ll post the top 3 that have stuck with me the longest throughout my time in the fandom ^^

Stormborn - SasuNaruSasu

Baby Animals, Weddings, And Other Things Not Normally Associated With Uchiha Sasuke - SasuNaru

Things Just Ain’t the Same Any Time the Hunter Gets Captured by the Game - KakaNaruKaka (*sweats*)

16. If you got one thing to say to kishi what would it be? 

Fuck you Kishi I both love and hate you 

I would tell him that Although I love what he’s created, I also hate how he’s let the character’s fall so out of character from those we used to know and love, and for writing some of his plot so badly (*looking at you the entire Uchiha Massacre like what the actual heck on a pancake*)

 19. Favorite arc?

100% The war arc, up to just before Kaguya comes about… not really fond of her tbh, Madara was much cooler B) 

The asks are from this post here. Thank you for asking! :)   

My thought’s on Sakura’s character???

In Fanon, she’s easily one of my favourite character’s. I really like how some people have portrayed her to be strong, sassy and just an awesome person who gets over her faults and brings strength and support to her team mates.

In Canon on the other hand? 

At first I didn’t really like her, her overall character was weak and annoying in my eyes, and her obsession with Sasuke and her constant beating of Naruto whenever he did anything she didn’t like got annoying fast. As Naruto continued, and Sakura started to shape herself as a character I started to like her a little more, although I still didn’t like her habit to rely on Sasuke and Naruto to do things for her. For a girl supposedly dubbed as the genius of the girls, she didn’t really give me that impression at the time. 

Overall at the beginning I found her rather annoying, pretty darn materialistic, and kinda stalkerish?? Like man idk what 13 y/o’s Kishi was basing her off of but lemme tell you I know none near me who straight up stalk the boy’s they like O.O

When Shippuden started up though, and the time skip happened in the manga?? Oh wee boi did I go from meh with her to loving her. I liked that she actually improved herself, and not only became a healer but a kickass fighter as well who could literally break through rock, tree, and most definitely bone. We also got to see her away from Sasuke which in my eyes did good for her. Although at this point she had flaws, as do all character’s, I really started liking her here and she quickly became one of my favorites. 

Tbh I liked her alot all the way through Shippuden, up until a certain point. I loved how her and Naruto’s friendship developed, loved how she became friends with Sai, how they became rather close nit, something of a team as everything went on. Then everything kind of got a bit ruined for me when she did the fake confession to Naruto. Considering NaruSaku is one of my low-key ships, it left me with a sour note when she did something that could be seen as rather inconsiderate towards her friend. Not only that, but her suddenly giving up on Sasuke made me sad like?? Gurl don’t you dare. 

Ahh man, so that left me a bit sour?? Which I put aside as it went on, I really loved her in the war arc, like I actually ADORED her in the war arc. My badass girl, healing ass, kicking ass, with her boys again. Just, man idk, I just like that she wasnt put to sleep and shoved aside like everyone else, and though she didnt do as much as Naruto and Sasuke, she still was a part of the war effort’s, and we still see her at the end helping to defeat the evil.

And then of course it gets ruined again, due to her inclination towards Sasuke. Her plea to him left me cold to her, like I guess i’d kind of wished she’d finally out grow the obsession she had with Sauske (And I mean in the way she has this set ideal of him and what he needs and chases after that instead of listening to what he wants) but alas this wasn’t the case. She further get’s ruined with the ending, turning out to simply be a housewife to her away husband who doesn’t even kiss her. 

I don’t find there to be anything wrong with being a housewife/househusband but she was literally just shoved aside into this role, most of her development shoved aside because of Sasuke (thought i’m not trying to blame him just saying that when she comes to Sasuke her development dips). 

Overall in all of it, though I did love part’s of Sakura, and looked forward to her development at one point, I was disappointed with how she ended up. 

I’m curious about what you think Kimi could have done to give she a really good role.

I think Kishi should have had her outgrown the childish crush she used to have on Sasuke when she was younger. Don’t get me wrong i’m not saying that further on, maybe if he came back, maybe another time, she couldn’t then develop true feelings for him then, just that the one’s she first developed should have been grown out of. I would have loved to see her develop more and more skill wise, actually using the genjutsu she supposedly could have had a knack for into use, branch out and show she’s the genius that she was once dubbed. 

At the end, I would have loved for her to have been shown as the head to the hospital, to have been a figure of power and responsibility. Or just for her to still be on active duty, still helping other’s, and fighting for her village (Though that village still wasn’t the best but that’s another discussion altogether lol) Her kind of being thrown to the side at the end was really shitty of him, especially since she’s the heroine in Naruto. 

I wish a lot of things tbh, her role should have been one showing her beside’s Naruto and Sasuke, not once again watching them from her home, continuously waiting as she once did. 

Sorry If some if this is rambly, I didn’t want to write too much on this, while still getting my point across (I was quite repetitive at some points too ToT). I hope that helps with your curiosity, if there are any question’s i’d be happy to answer :)

[barrimyr-adin]

Well here’s the Akatsuki Suppression arc notes

I hope you enjoy it because I sure fucking didn’t.

Ugh, i'm going to have to endure a bunch of Shikamaru bullshit in this arc.

Kishimoto is gonna turn Yugito into fodder, isn't he?

Asuma looked so douchey when he was younger.

I'd also like to know how he's doing all this ninja shit when he's been smoking for like twenty years.

I will admit that the OP music is pretty dope. I really like listening to it.

Is Konohamaru's voice actor also Ino's voice actor?

Part 1 Tsunade > Part 2 Tsunade

How is angrily stamping a bunch of documents while not even looking through them supposed to be taking your work seriously?

So why is Tsunade a princess but Naruto and Asuma aren't princes?

We all know damn well that the reason Kishimoto made Tsunade so "incompetent" is because she was the only female Hokage and Kishimoto fucking hates letting his female characters be good at anything other than being pretty.

I fucking hate these old dudes.

So Jiraiya just ditched Naruto and Tsunade to go on recon and didn't even stay in contact? What the fuck?

Pretty sure Kishimoto just needed him out of the way, because if he was there then he would have solved most problems super easily and Naruto wouldn't have had enough chances to act like a fucking moron.

The fact that Kakashi and Tsunade are encouraging Naruto's obsession with Sasuke is honestly disgusting.

Fuck you, Kishimoto. Just fuck you, you piece of garbage. Why do you hate women that much? You didn't just beat Yugito, you had to fucking disrespect her like that too!? And if you wanted her to lose, then you shouldn't have made her so badass in the first place. Fuck you, you were so damn lazy that you couldn't even give an explanation for how she was beat either!? For fucks' sake Kishimoto, just fuck off. I'm sick of your shit.

If this series wasn't anything other than garbage than Yugito would have fucking demolished Kakuzu and Hidan.

I hate how the Akatsuki can barely stand each other. Making the villains hate each other is a cheap way of dehumanising them.

You'd think Naruto would be more buff after three years of training with Jiraiya.

So is every Akatsuki pair just gonna be two douchebags who do nothing but argue about minor ideological differences?

This monk is dope as hell! Can he be the main character?

For fuck's sake, now we have to deal with these douchebags beating another person who should fucking wreck them.

And of course, we're not gonna get an explanation for how they win again. Because Kishimoto is lazy and has no respect for his story, characters, or audience. And apparently no one told him about the whole "show, don't tell" rule.

Am I honestly supposed to believe that Naruto "there-are-no-shortcuts-on-the-road-to-Hokage" Uzumaki is asking Kakashi to give him another trick to speed up his training? Somewhere along the path, Kishimoto entirely forgot who the fuck and what the fuck he was writing.

How the hell are we back to Naruto wanting to catch up with Sasuke? Wasn't like the entirety of Part 1 devoted entirely to that? And maybe you would be in the same league as Sasuke if you actually fucking did something in the past three years, Naruto.

Yamato is me right before exams.

I fucking love Sai.

So why are Sakura and Sai just sitting around marveling at Naruto instead of training themselves? I mean seriously, Kakashi, Yamato, you guys know they are also members of Team 7 right?

Sakura, why are you being passive aggressive towards your fucking elementary school teacher? If there's a teacher you should be pissed at, it's Kakashi.

Tsunade's plan seems clumsy as hell.

Aren't Ino-Shika-Cho supposed to be one of the closest teams? Why the hell are Asuma and Shikamaru going out with Izumo and Kotetsu instead of Choji and Ino? Does Kishimoto really not give a fuck about them at all? Don't answer that, I already know.

Like I heard about how people got pissed that Kishi pushed aside Ino and Choji to focus on Shikamaru but this is something else, man.

Is Sakura's character ever going to not revolve around another man?

Naruto, not bothering to rest is the dumbest fucking thing you could do. You know what Sasuke was doing when you guys found him? He was asleep. RESTING! Then he whooped your asses. The key to success is rest.

I thought his signature jutsu was the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Rasengan.

Why do I feel like I missed a bunch of shit in the filler arc before this?

Like, I don't know who this monk dude was, but I'm gonna assume him and Asuma were boyfriends.

That bounty comment is kinda fucked up, Asuma.

How long is this ramen bullshit gonna go on for?

I literally could not give fewer fucks about Hidan and Kakuzu.

The reason I actually liked Kisame and Itachi is because they actually got along, especially in comparison to Orochimaru and his cronies. But fuck, the rest of the Akatsuki are just a bunch of assholes.

How is a change in chakra nature supposed to make the Rasengan stronger? The Chidori is both a change in form and nature but the Rasengan was more powerful (at least in Part 1 before all of Kishimoto's shitty retcons).

So from what I heard about Team Minato, I still think it's bull that Kakashi even knows the Rasengan. I think it would have made more sense if Obito, the obvious Naruto parallel, was able to learn the Rasengan through hard work but Kakashi the apathetic genius couldn't get it as easily as he got everything else, so instead he created the Chidori, something he could get easier. But to be fair, knowing the Chidori and the Rasengan and wielding the Sharingan helps with the whole image of being likely the most versatile ninja in the world, especially since Kakashi really hasn't been living up to his hype.

Are you really going to teach Naruto to create a new Rasengan before he's even mastered the normal fucking version?

I don't really get how a Rasengan with a change in chakra nature is considered unachievable? I mean, that's basically the Chidori.

I'm calling bullshit, Kakashi. You don't actually think that Naruto could surpass the fourth Hokage. If you did, you wouldn't having fucking ignored him for all of Part 1 and then just let him be taken out of the village. The only one of your students you believed in was Sasuke.

Naruto used to be the guy that nobody believed in. The kid that had to do everything on his own because nobody around him thought he was worth helping. Everyone thought he was a hopeless case. And i'm not saying that we still need that. But now we can't even have a single arc pass without like three or four people fucking raving about how much they believe in Naruto. It's like, for fuck's sake Kishi, how could you go so far from the heart of your series? How could you stray so far in the opposite direction from what was working?

You don't actually think you're going to fight the Akatsuki do you, Ino? Kishimoto is just gonna make you get your ass handed to you and then have one of his faves swoop down to save the day.

Choji is a really good friend.

For fuck's sake, Kishi. You couldn't even let Choji use his own fucking words? You just had to have it be about how kewl Shikamaru is. Ugh.

They were fucking, Shikamaru. Their relationship was obviously romantic.

Kakuzu, I really don't think you're allowed to just carry corpses into public bathrooms like that.

If the Akatsuki are known as international terrorists, then how the hell are they able to just go around wherever they want in their very distinctive robes without anyone giving a damn?

When did the Akatsuki become such fucking gimmicks?

Still pisses me off that we have Izumo and Kotetsu here instead of Ino and Choji.

Asuma seems to be overreacting to Hidan and Kakuzu. They've barely even engaged and Asuma's already making them out to be invincible.

I don't understand why Kishimoto is having such difficulty making Hidan and Kakuzu actually seem threatening. He refused to let us see how they beat Yugito, he refused to let us see how they beat the monk, and now Asuma is fearful of them for no reason. Kishi really forgot about the whole "show, don't tell" rule.

I see Kishimoto hasn't fixed Shikamaru's problem of sitting still for an extended period of time to think of shitty strategies while his opponent just fucking stands around doing nothing but watching him for no goddamn reason.

I get that all these shogi metaphors are supposed to make Shikamaru look smart, but they just sound like nonsense. It really just makes Shikamaru seem delusional. The battlefield is not a shogi set and your comrades aren't pieces. If you can't understand the situation without an elaborate metaphor about a board game, then you are a ridiculously limited strategist.

These monk techniques are fucking dope.

Immortal jerk is the only insult you could come up with, Shikamaru?

Asuma's Burning Ash jutsu doesn't make any sense but I'll let it slide.

The new OP shows a bunch of the Konoha 12 but its all lies. Kishi doesn't even remember that they exist.

Hidan went all hammy insane villain. How shocking. I've never seen that before. What a unique character.

I want to die.

I can't take Hidan seriously because he sounds like Billy Crystal.

I want you to imagine every scene with Hidan in it, but replace him with Mike Wazowski.

So Shikamaru was only able to save him because Hidan spent too much time screaming useless bullshit?

Yeah, guys. Shikamaru is such a badass. Such a genius. Incredibly intelligent ninja. Doesn't rely on luck or ridiculously stupid villains at all.

I fucking hate you, Shikamaru.

Thanks for reminding me about Sasori dying, Shikamaru. Still fucking angry over that.

Why would Shikamaru even doubt that Deidara is dead? Is Shikamaru's so-called intelligence ever going to make any sense or at least not be bullshit?

These fucking shogi metaphors are just getting goddamn annoying.

Look if you need to fucking stop time for 10 fucking minutes just to have your character analyse the situation then they're not a very smart character. And it's bad pacing and you're wasting time.

Your character is also not impressive if you need to make one of their opponents stand watching with their thumb up their ass instead of actually doing something for no goddamn reason just so they stand a chance.

So are Izumo and Kotetsu going to fucking do anything?

So how many more people are we gonna have to listen to kiss Shikamaru's ass?

Actually, there's really only one person kissing his ass. And its Kishimoto, who will never miss a chance to insert himself into the story in order to yell at the audience "LOOK AT SHIKAMARU, ISN'T HE SO COOL!?"

I swear, Kakuzu and Hidan are such fucking idiots.

Stitching Hidan's neck back together isn't going to change the fact that his inner organs have been sliced open.

So that super well-animated fight in the OP isn't going to actually happen? It was just for the OP? Man, fuck that.

The only person we've seen use crows is Itachi, so why is he attacking one of his own? Well, besides the bullshit plot twist I know is coming.

So who's this dude with the glasses and how's he going all Aquaman with the crows?

Jfc this taijutsu is horrible, it's only ever worth a damn either in OPs or in the ultimate climactic fights that the studios are saving up all their money for. But even so, this taijutsu is fucking trash to look at. Same with the Team Gai clone fights.

Holy shit, its Pain.

Not the voice I was expecting for Pain.

Where is he though? That is some fucking scenery.

I know I've already said this, but I really hate how the Akatsuki just turned into a bunch of douchebags just waiting to kill each other for no goddamn reason.

Is Shikamaru really trying to make Ino and Choji be quiet and listen to Asuma right  after he fucking yelled at Asuma to shut up?

Did Asuma just take his last fucking moments to fatshame Choji?

Man, Asuma really is a fucking dick.

Asuma, shut the fuck up. Shikamaru would be the shittiest fucking Hokage possible.

Man, Asuma. You sure are taking a long time to fucking die.

Asuma, are you going to spend all your damn time fatshaming Choji? It's not like his weight is holding him back as a ninja, in fact it's his strength. Maybe he'd be the super strong shinobi you wanted him to be if you spent some actual time training him instead of fatshaming him and playing fucking board games with Shikamaru.

Thanks for reminding me about how Shikamaru was promoted to chunin first. Still fucking pissed about that.

Is it bad that I felt literally nothing during Asuma's death?

Still think it's fucking stupid that Naruto still needs shadow clones just to make a normal Rasengan.

So in theory, Naruto could make several shadow clones and then then have all of them go through his Nine-Tails Transformation? Dude, no one could stand against him if someone just trained him to control the Nine-Tails' power.

Still think this shadow clone cheat is fucking bullshit.

It fucking sucks that Kishimoto thought making Sakura more violent was somehow actual development. She used to be one of the more intelligent, calm, and rational members of the team. Now she just threatens to beat anyone who disagrees with her.

Pain has been monologuing for so long that he's lost my attention. I know that he's explaining his intentions but it's dragging on for so damn long that I don't even care anymore.

Nevermind, it all just amounts to world domination anyways. So not much to even care about.

So the Wind Style: Rasengan is just a Rasengan with air pressure? How exactly is this superior to the Giant Rasengan? Or superior to making Naruto's training over the timeskip not shitty?

What's with this stylistic change in the Kurenai scene? Felt like I stepped into a psychological thriller.

I feel like we've seen Konohamaru cry at too many funerals. Can someone just give this kid a break?

Why does this lady have an irish accent?

"I'll be here for you" he says as he walks away from his own son while he's crying in agony.

Man, Shikamaru is a dick, Shikaku is a dick. Is there a Nara that isn't a dick?

Why are these fucking shots of Shikamaru's face and hands better animated than the fight Asuma died in?

Okay, I know I've said this before, but using shogi as a device designed to represent Shikamaru's intelligence is ridiculous.

Also why does it feel like the animation and art style have changed?

So why is it okay for Shikamaru to define the meaning of his life by vengeance but everyone gives Sasuke shit for wanting revenge against Itachi?

How the fuck did Kakashi and Tsunade just know to be at that specific place at that specific time? Wouldn't it have made more sense if Tsunade had brought Kakashi along in case they refused to back down? Its just stupidly convenient that the both of them just happened to know that Team 10 would be there at that specific time.

And why the fuck is Kakashi willing to go on this mission!? He tied Sasuke down to a fucking tree just to give him a speech on the futility of revenge, but he's perfectly willing to let Shikamaru go after revenge, even willing to help him? That's fucking bullshit. And yet another instance of Kishi going out of his way to make things go well for Shikamaru, even when all sense would point to everything going wrong for him.

And why not just bring Naruto instead of Kakashi? It's been established that Naruto is closer to Shikamaru than he is to others and he just mastered a new powerful jutsu. Plus you don't have to mess up his character to bring him along the way you have to with Kakashi.

Better yet, why didn't Kishimoto choose Kurenai instead of Kakashi? (the answer to this question is: sexism) At least then it would make sense for her to want revenge. Plus Naruto could continue training with Kakashi and maybe Team 8 could come in as back-up instead of Team 7. Give them some fucking focus.

Also, once again, Tsunade's characterisation has fucking sucked in Part 2. She used to be a very enjoyable character, now she's just an asshole who runs around shouting at people, letting everyone do whatever the fuck they want, and going on about how she believes in Naruto. I'm also sick of how everyone disrespects her, nobody acted this way towards Sarutobi.

Man, Kakuzu fucking dragged Hidan in front of the entire Akatsuki.

Tbh, Hidan is a fucking joke.

Wait, Ino is a skinchanger!? So dope!

That thing with Kakuzu and the bird was dumb in so many ways.

Jesus christ, did Kakuzu and Hidan really fall for that shitty fucking trap.

Shikamaru's new jutsu didn't even make sense. Not to mention that it came out of nowhere with literally no forshadowing.

I can't believe that Kishi is making Kakuzu fucking go on about Shikamaru being a good tactician when that was literally the flimsiest fucking plan possible.

They are really gonna drag out the process of Hidan mirroring Shikamaru's movements, aren't they?

So is Kakuzu a human puppet too like Sasori?

So Choji can harden his hair now? Since when could he harden his body at all?

I don't like how apparently every element is weak or strong against another particular element. It should be about the skill of the ninja, not about whatever fucking element they have. Plus, it just feels like it was shoehorned in right at the end.

To think that for a second I thought we were done with Kakuzu. I got my hopes up, thinking we were almost done with these fools' bullshit but nope. Kishi loves to torture me.

Kakuzu's special attack: getting uglier than usual.

Did Kakuzu just summon a bunch of No Faces?

Or were they hollows?

How the hell is your mask still on after that wind attack, Kakashi!?

Kakuzu named his giant fire attack after a headache?

Did Hidan just scream out "Heeyaah!"?

I feel like the animation has suddenly gotten so much better.

Or maybe not better, just... more fluid?

FUCK YOU, SHIKAMARU! I WAS SO READY TO SEE CHOJI WHOOP HIDAN'S ASS!

So are Choji and Ino gonna be able to do anything?

Oh yay, Kishi ruined Choji's character.

Why are you like this, Kishimoto?

So did Choji just conveniently forget to bring his clan's food pills?

Hidan and Kakuzu suddenly went from zero to badass in like a millisecond.

How did Shikamaru even catch Hidan in that Shadow Possession? Every other time he needed to make the hand signs just to keep the jutsu up.

So I guess of all the Akatsuki we've seen so far, Kakuzu seems to be the strongest. Though it still feels like a bunch of bullshit pulled out right at the end.

And Hidan seems to be the weakest, outside of Zetsu and Tobi who we haven't seen in action yet.

Well this new animation style is much more appealing, only problem is a lack of facial consistency.

So Kakashi has mastered earth style, lightning style, and water style?

When the fuck did Shikamaru become the protagonist of this series?

Seeing Hidan so chill is honestly unsettling me. He looks like me after I've failed an exam. Motherfucker just looks dead inside.

I don't get it. Was Hidan's jutsu connected to Shikamaru or Kakuzu? And if it was connected to Shikamaru, why isn't he finally fucking dead!?

So if it was Kakuzu connected to the jutsu, then what was that bullshit with Shikamaru about "not being deep enough"?

This may be the only time Shikamaru has actually been smart, although I still hate the whole masterplan-that-we-had-no-idea-about-being-revealed-at-the-end trope. It occasionally works with villains, but not with heroes. The protagonists shouldn't be misleading their own audience and in most cases it just feels like an asspull.

Also, even if the concept of Shikamaru's plan was smart, the whole thing would have fallen apart if Kakashi hadn't coincidently, conveniently, and nonsensically been in the right place at the right time and agreed to go with them (I still don't fucking understand why he went with them). Their whole plan would have been fucked if Kakashi hadn't been there, which shows bad planning and a lack of foresight on Shikamaru's part.

There will never be anything in existence as bullshit as Shikamaru splashing Kakuzu's blood onto Hidan's fucking needle of a blade as he's about to fucking stab him. Except maybe the fact that Hidan apparently didn't fucking notice it despite the fact that Shikamaru did it right in front of him. Like, he didn't even try to hide it.

Ugh, Kishi, if you want me to believe that Shikamaru is a genius then stop pitting him against fucking morons.

Did Kakashi just judge Kakuzu for killing without remorse when Kakashi is a fucking ninja?

AGAIN! WHY THE HELL IS KAKASHI OKAY WITH SHIKAMARU TRYING TO GET REVENGE!? He's not just fine with it, he's supporting and enabling it! It's completely out of character. After all that bullshit with Sasuke and the futility of revenge, he's just gonna do all the work so Shikamaru can get his revenge? Why?

Because Shikamaru is Kishi's self-insert, that's why. Fucking hate this character.

Why is Kakuzu even dead? Shouldn't he have three more hearts?

Why the fuck didn't we get to see Choji use that Expansion Jutsu: Super Slam on Hidan!?

Oh ffs, why is Kishi so insistent on not letting Choji and Ino do anything at all

im just so sick of this

Well, Kakuzu's back. When will I be free from this bullshit!?

I'm not complaining but why do all the Akatsuki members paint their nails

Hidan's laugh is depressing.

Did you really need to name each of them, Ino? As if everyone can't see them. And why the fuck did you leave out Yamato?

Sakura, we both know the smartest person in the Land of Fire is named Shino Aburame.

Of course Kishi had to insert a fucking flashback just to kiss Shikamaru's ass.

Apparently Will of Fire means being a lazy ass now.

How inobservant can Hidan be.

How many asspulls is Shikamaru gonna get?

And Asuma's ghost just randomly fucking appears? Yeah, that makes sense.

Why does Naruto have the slitted pupils but still has blue irises?

Ugh, it seems like Naruto has adopted Shikamaru's style of combat. Do almost nothing while your enemy just fucking watches.

Ffs, just let Choji do something!

How the hell does Wind Style: Rasenshuriken befit the Nine-Tailed Fox, Kakuzu?

When I heard about the Rasenshuriken, I imagined Naruto changing the shape of the Rasengan, making it thinner but wider and spinning at speeds high enough to slash through things. I imagined it being his own unique creation, a long-range Rasengan that could be thrown. Which would allow him to cover his bases and make up for his weakness when at long distance. But nope, it's just the Rasengan but bigger. Which is redundant considering he already has the Giant Rasengan.

And of course, Naruto fucked up again. Can you do anything right?

Didn't Kakashi say he's already used the Chidori four times that day? Isn't that his limit? Shouldn't he be fucking dead!?

Even Choji notes that the Rasenshuriken is fucking stupid.

Seriously, what's up with Naruto's eyes?

Ffs, Naruto you can barely do anything at all but you're talking about surpassing the Fourth Hokage? Man, fuck off.

And once again, Naruto is putting his pride before the mission. And somehow this is supposed to be endearing. And for some stupid fucking reason, everyone's okay with it. And for some even fucking dumber reason, Kakuzu hasn't killed them all yet.

Why do these deer look like demons?

He isn't that good, Sai. The author just loves the taste of his ass.

I'd say that I hope Hidan gets out and destroys the whole village one day, but let's be honest, Hidan is such a dumbass he wouldn't be able to get anything done even if he did get out.

A long preparation time is supposed to be a disadvantage to an attack, usually added only to extremely powerful attacks. But in this dumbass series, that doesn't matter because your opponents will always just fucking sit there and watch you do your stupid fucking preparations instead of actually fighting you.

I think the animation went back to its old style.

If Kakuzu is so focused on Naruto, why doesn't Ino just take the opportunity and use her Mind Transfer Jutsu to take control over him? This whole thing could have been fucking solved 10 episodes ago if Kishi gave a damn about his side characters.

God, the Rasenshuriken is fucking ridiculous.

Is it just me or has Kakashi gotten hotter?

Naruto hasn't surpassed you in the fucking least, Kakashi.

This is the fucking fifth time Kakashi has used the Chidori today! How is he not fucking dead!?

Man, Kakashi can be a real savage when it comes to trash talk.

Why the fuck are we seeing Shikamaru interact with Kurenai but not with her own fucking team?

ugh why do i ask questions i already know the answer to

did shikamaru just like.. lay claim on Kurenai's baby? he didnt even fucking ask her or anything

jesus christ even the pieces are the same. just call the fucking game chess

i feel like shikamaru has gotten even more arrogant than he was before

so naruto's body can regenerate the incinerated flesh after entering the four-tailed form but he can't take some extra chakra and wind pressure? that makes a lot of fucking sense

....

i just wanna die

so apparently the rasenshuriken is basically the eight trigrams sixty four palms ghdvuybfdjgfjwkjfdjJUST FUCKING KILL ME

it doesnt even make sense!

thats not how fucking wind works!

and when the hell has naruto ever been precise!?

and why can't he just heal!?

why am i still watching this trash series?

who the fuck is this lady orochimaru wants and why should i even care

how the hell is the rasenshuriken gonna be a last resort when he can't fucking do anything else?
