Summer of Whump Day 27: Injured

Fandom: Naruto

Rating: T

Pairing: Hatake Kakashi & Umino Iruka

WC: ~1970

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply; kid whump

Notes: Caning. Tied up. Academy-age Iruka, ANBU Kakashi. Post-Kyūbi attack. AU where Iruka and Kakashi were once friends.

A/N: Happy Birthday To Me!!! I've been looking forward to this one for over a week :)

A/N 2: Combo with my Bad Things Happen Bingo Board square: Caning

Kakashi sighs, watching Iruka walk home without a care in the world. That prank he pulled today was genius, and it caught a genin team unawares while they were out cat-catching, but Sandaime-sama could have been a bit harsher during the disciplinary hearing. Kakashi had been in the room—the kid had zoned out, Sarutobi sighed like this was a waste of time, and then the two of them sat down and played shogi and had tea for an hour.

Kakashi steps away as Umino unlocks his door and goes inside. One of these days, his pranks are going to come back to bite him. And worse, he’ll have deserved it.

Iruka is particularly proud of today’s prank, having dropped a barrel of day-old frying oil on a genin team because they were too absorbed in their mission and not aware of their surroundings. Really, he did them a favor. If they’d been in a real combat situation, it could have ended with one of them dying instead of the lot of them just needing a serious bath.

He closes and locks the door behind him and slips out of his sandals. He’ll have to wait at least a week to perform the next—

The window is open.

He never leaves the window open.

Iruka fumbles back for the doorknob but there’s already someone behind him, and he yelps and turns around to face them. The kid—he’s not much older than Iruka, how did he get past the wards on his window??—grins maniacally down at him and crowds him back. Iruka takes a few steps further into the apartment, and screams around the hand that covers his mouth from behind. The one behind him drags him into the center of his studio apartment with their other arm around Iruka’s chest, pinning his arms to his side.

He goes to kick out behind himself, to get at the one holding him, but a third sticks a kunai under his chin just before he readies his foot and tsks at him.

Iruka settles down. He’s really outnumbered.

“What’s the Hokage got you doing as punishment?” The first one, the one blocking the way to his door, asks.

Iruka can’t answer. The second one still has their hand over his mouth.

The third one snaps his fingers. “That's right! I heard all about it!” His face darkens and he glowers down at Iruka, “Fucking nothing. A slap on the wrist and an afternoon of tea and shogi with the Hokage—what a punishment!”

This is the genin team he caught in his trap earlier, he realizes. And, Oh, shit, they’re angry.

Number One pulls out a spool of chakra wire with a grin. He takes Iruka’s hands and ties them together in front of him, wrapping the wire between his fingers to keep them still and preventing him from making hand-seals—as if he knew any jutsu that would be particularly useful here. The other end of the wire is threaded through the handle of Number Three’s kunai, and then Three throws it up into the ceiling where it sticks.

“Get the window, Hiro,” Number One says, and Number Two—Hiro—goes and shuts the window, and then pulls back the curtains. Number One pulls on the chakra wire, yanking Iruka’s arms up above his head until he’s on his toes.

He whimpers. “Guys, really, it was just a joke—a prank! I didn’t mean any harm by it! I’m sorry!”

“That’s right,” Number Three sneers, “You should be groveling for forgiveness.”

“Doesn’t mean we have to give it to you,” Hiro says, producing a thin wooden cane from out of his pack and tapping it against his palm.

“Ready for your real punishment, kohai?” Number One grins, stepping forward and pushing a bandana into Iruka’s mouth. He ties it behind Iruka’s head. He then takes a knife to Iruka’s shirt down his back and slices away the fabric, against his muffled cries.

“I think ten strikes should be enough to get the point through to him,” Number Three says, putting his finger into the tears running down Iruka’s cheeks. “Ten strikes each, of course. He wronged all of us.”

Kakashi patrols the village vigilantly, and keeps thinking about the three genin covered in frying oil. He tries to be sympathetic. Dirty oil has a way of staining, he supposes; they’ll be lucky to be able to salvage any of what they’d been wearing.

Really, Iruka did those kids a favor. If it had been a field mission and they’d been caught off-guard like that… He won’t admit it out loud, but if losing their clothes and having to wash frying oil out of their hair will teach that genin team to remain vigilant, Iruka likely did them a great service.

Earlier, they had been outside the Hokage’s office, asking about what disciplinary actions were going to be taken against Umino. And they had been pissed to hear that Sandaime-sama only gave him a stern talking-to.

Kakashi wonders if, maybe, he should check in with their jōnin-sensei.

Iruka screams through the gag. With each strike of the cane against his back, he sobs harder. He wonders if anyone will notice; probably not. If anyone will care; definitely not. Sandaime-sama says the village is a family but really? An orphan is an orphan. No one will—

“My turn, Kaoru,” Hiro says. Number One, Kaoru apparently, gets one more strike in before handing off the cane. He won’t be able to sleep tonight. Should he go to the hospital after this? How was he going to get to the hospital after this? Would anyone believe him that it wasn’t a prank, that he’s been attacked in his own village?

Iruka cries, trying to beg for mercy through the gag. The genin team ignores him, and Hiro moves into position. The cane comes down onto his back.

“I don’t keep track of them after training,” Yūto-sensei says. “As for that Umino kid, he deserves what he gets if he gets something worse than how Sarutobi disciplined him.”

Kakashi makes the call to leave his patrol and head for Umino’s apartment. He doesn’t call his team; he’d make it there faster alone. And he has a bad feeling that he should have stayed after following him home.

Iruka sobs heavily, his chin resting against his chest; until the tip of the cane is there, lifting with gentle pressure and sure threat. Iruka meets the eyes of Number Three—Shiori, he’s learned. As if knowing their names makes any difference. In a normal hostage situation, the textbooks say to try and develop a rapport with your captors and find out their names, offer your own. This isn’t a hostage situation; it’s torture.

They haven’t gotten to the torture resistance unit yet.

“Take the gag off,” Shiori orders. Kaoru does so.

Iruka gasps, heaves deep breaths. He licks his lips and then says, “I’m sorry,” over and over again.

Shiori puts the cane against his lips and Iruka whimpers. “I know,” he says, “but you still have to be punished. And I want to hear you scream, unburdened.”

“Shiori—” Hiro starts nervously.

“No one cares about him,” Shiori says, rolling his eyes. “So what if he screams? He’s just another orphan, having another nightmare.” He drags the cane along Iruka’s bare side as he takes up position behind him.

“Please, don’t…” Iruka whines. “No more. I’m sorry.”

“Bad kids need to be taught. You don’t have parents anymore, and if the Sandaime won’t do it, then it falls to us, your senpai, to teach you.”

The cane comes down.

Iruka cries out, thrashing in the chakra wire. Kaoru and Hiro look around nervously as the cane comes down again, pulling another scream from Iruka’s lips.

The third time, a knock comes on his door. “Umino-kun, are you alright?”

A kunai is at his throat immediately, Shiori dropping the cane aside.

Iruka doesn’t know how to respond. He needs to get away from these guys, but he doesn’t know who’s on the other side of the door—it could be a shinobi, but it could also just be the old couple who manages his apartment. He can’t tell by the voice.

“Tell them it was just a bad dream," Shiori orders, hissing in his ear.

He decides to take a chance. He pings a line of chakra through the door, something small, hoping it will hit whoever’s there and alert them. “I—I’m sorry. Bad dream,” he calls back.

He’s relieved to receive a ping of chakra back.

“If you’re sure,” the shinobi at the door says. “Have a good night, Umino-kun.”

“Thank-you,” he mutters.

Shiori waits barely another minute before putting the gag back in Iruka’s mouth and raising the cane again; but he only gets one more strike in, Iruka’s muffled cry echoing in the studio apartment one last time, before the door is kicked in. The ANBU from earlier today stands in the doorway—the one who had picked him up from the scene of his prank and brought him before Sandaime, and who thought he was stealthily following him home but was stupidly obvious.

The three genin try to escape through the window, but they had carefully closed it earlier and aren’t smart enough to break the glass to get away. The ANBU closes the distance easily, performing non-lethal blows and knocking Kaoru and Hiro out; and then when Shiori realizes that he’s outclassed, he tries pulling his kunai back out to threaten Iruka, but the ANBU flickers across the studio and disarms him, first, then knocks him out.

With his attackers unconscious, Iruka’s sobs turn from pained to relieved.

The ANBU stands before him and cuts the chakra wire holding his wrists together above his head. His back aches and he cries out as they ease his shoulders down; he grits his teeth and cuts off the cry, muttering, “Hurts.” He leans into the ANBU chest plate and sniffles.

“Do you need medical assistance?”

Iruka looks up at the voice and, finally, recognizes the mask—Hound. And he’s familiar with the mask, and who’s under the mask; they were friends, once, weren’t they?

“Kaka—”

“Hound,” Kakashi mutters. “In the mask, it’s Hound. Do you need medical assistance?”

Iruka nods, leaning against his friend from long ago. His armor is cold; refreshing against the feverish heat of Iruka’s chest. Kakashi holds him, his gloved hands gently prodding at his back where there aren’t marks. A growl rumbles against Iruka’s temple.

Kakashi seethes above him, and Iruka tries unsuccessfully to tune it out. “In the village, no less. You should have been safe…” Behind his back, Hound makes a series of seals and says, “Kuchiyose no Jutsu.”

Summoning smoke poofs around in the corner of his view, and then Hound says, “Bull, stand guard. Shiba, Akino, go to T&I and have a team come and collect these three. I’ll report later.”

“Why not—?”

“Iruka’s injured,” Hound murmurs. He holds Iruka still, and then turns and crouches down, reaching back for Iruka’s hands. Getting the idea, Iruka flushes, but settles himself over Kakashi’s back and wraps his arms around Kakashi’s neck, letting the older teen position them in a way he’ll be able to run without worrying about Iruka accidentally choking him. Then, he slips his hands under Iruka’s thighs, pulls them around his waist, and stands up. He carries Iruka on his back like he weighs nothing. Iruka hides his face in Kakashi’s neck. “I’m going to get him to the hospital first, then I’ll meet at T&I to debrief.”

“Kakashi—”

“Hound, Iruka,” he says. “Don’t worry. I’ve got you.” His voice deepens into a growl as he continues, “You won’t get hurt again, not on my watch.”

Iruka closes his eyes, finally feeling safe, and rests as Kakashi flickers them away.

Interest check results

Thank you so much to the 19 people for filling out the Interest check for the 🐬 Umino Iruka 🐬 2024 🎉 birthday 🎉 event! This is very exciting. You have spoken, and really, as long as it’s about Umino Iruka, you seem up for anything. That being said there was a slight preference for a BINGO so that is what we’ll be doing! The majority of you also voted for a 4x4 bingo board with no specific theme and you would be happy to choose from pre-set boards.

Since the boards will be pre-set Mod is thinking you will be given a choice of 2-4 general or SFW boards and potentially also 1 NSFW, 1 DARK and 1 mixed NSFW and DARK boards (depending on how the prompt suggestions go).

Considering no theme voting will take place and no sign ups will be required, we will jump straight into prompt suggestions and have that going for a longer period instead. So keep an eye out for the post with the link to the prompt suggestion form!

Updated timeline

Prompt suggestions: March 14th to April 14th

Boards revealed: April 14th to April 26th

Creation period: April 14th to May 31st

Posting period: May 1st to May 31st

Master list: June 1st to June 7th

Feedback form: June 8th to June 30th

The event is run on Tumblr with an accompanying collection on Ao3.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to drop them in asks.

Iruka's Birthday Bingo, prompt: singing

Wth it’s been two months since I last posted any art 👀👀👀

Art block’s been on my case and still is but I managed to sketch some today 🙌

My first attempt at doing something for the @kakairu-discord-server Iruka's Birthday Bingo event (which ends tomorrow ahahaha). They look so young though!? Idk what happened. Had fun coloring, I don’t think I have colored the same way in any of my latest pieces - I’m trying to find “my coloring style” which is out there somewhere.

Empty Bottles - Chapter 1 (the rest)

Here's the rest of chapter 1 of Empty Bottles! I hope you enjoy ~

CW: Self-harm implications, parental abuse, anxiety

Pale green eyes stare at a form she doesn’t recognize.

Papa was angrier than usual.

The night prior, Sakura had been subjected to a punishment because of her low physical exam scores. When she had gotten the sheet from Iruka-sensei and saw the number, her face paled. Sakura knew what her parents were going to say. She knew they wouldn’t be happy. She knew she would be punished.

It didn’t stop her from going home.

Sakura had been correct; she had been treated to a vicious punishment. Her Papa made sure to cover her stomach and back in crimson, plum, and coal. The cuts were deep enough to need bandages, but not stitches. Last night, her Papa drew lightning into her. He made sure to stomp, punch, and wale first though – a ‘prep for what’s to come’ as he would say.

Her thin fingers trail the marks on her stomach. A faint apple glow coating her fingers as she went. They closed the wounds while leaving raised pink in their wake, a twisted sort of road map. Sakura looks up and catches her pale eyes once more, unsure of who is looking back at her.

The dull pink strands cling to her person like a second skin. Her parents won’t buy her real shampoo and conditioner, they give her a strawberry scented dog two-in-one because it’s “cheaper” and they don’t want to spend the extra cash.

Her once hopeful and lively eyes are the equivalent of a corpse now. From a bright apple to a dull emerald, they don’t shine anymore.

Her pale skin is a reminder that she doesn’t get to be outside like other kids her age. When other students leave for the day and run around the park or their homes, Sakura is sequestered into her home and held captive. The place she should want to return to is her own hell.

Sakura can almost forgive the stranger in the mirror. She can tell the stranger is surviving, and she was proud of that survival until today. Besides her usual badges of honor, Sakura looks at her betrayal. They are leaking slowly, drops of scarlet falling to the tile below. Her lines are precise, careful. One for each year of her captivity.

“Happy 12th Birthday to me.”

. . & . .

By the time Sakura graduates the academy, she and Iruka are aggravated.

Iruka has spent the last two years trying to figure out his student to the best of his ability. It became much harder to do so once his adoption of Naruto went through. He couldn’t focus on the seemingly abused girl when he had an abused orphan who needed his attention.

Sakura spent the last two years avoiding her sensei. It didn’t take her long to realize Iruka was paying too close attention to her. The attention had caused a panic attack or five and she worries he’s getting close to the truth. Sakura isn’t sure what he would do if he found out the truth; she’s more worried about what will happen to her though. If Mama and Papa found out their secret was out…shudders wrack Sakura’s small frame.

That’s why she’s slightly relieved when the man shifts his focus from her to the loud mouthed blonde in the class. She had felt his indecision, his want to keep up with his routine, but Naruto proved to need more work.

It’s alright; Mama always says no one would believe me anyway. And if they did, they’d be ‘dealt with’ quickly.

Things look up.

Until:

“Team 7,” Iruka calls out, “Uzumaki, Naruto. Uchiha, Sasuke. Haruno, Sakura.”

Sakura POV

What did I do to deserve this?

I clench my fists as tightly as possible. Small pools gather between my fingers before I let go. My heart is hammering against my ribs. It feels as though Papa is giving me one of his punishments, but there isn’t anyone in front of me. Swiveling my neck, I notice that Iruka has called all the teams.

The Uchiha run the police force – Mama and Papa aren’t going to like this.

“You guys take lunch. After, you’ll be meeting your Jounin sensei. Dismissed!”

As usual, everyone leaves the classroom. Some stick with their normal cliques and others who are braver approach their new teammates, asking to eat together.

I know better than to try that. Sasuke, like every good clan kid, only associates with other clan kids. It isn’t too hard to do in our class – most of them are clan kids with a few exceptions like myself. But even so, Sasuke only has eyes for his older brother and cousin when it comes to really spending time with other people. The only exception for our age group is Naruto. I don’t doubt that he went outside to eat, hopeful that his brother would be out there waiting to eat with him. Naruto has Iruka. They go to the teachers’ lounge together and eat lunch every day. Once Iruka adopted Naruto, he took it upon himself to tutor Naruto during lunch.

It’s hard for me to admit, but with Iruka’s extra lessons and tutelage, Naruto grew leaps and bounds. He still pulls pranks and acts a bit immature, but he stopped failing and improved as the years went by. His smiles are more genuine and he started making friends. He even stars as half of the most well-known rivalry in the Leaf – him and Sasuke.

My teammates have people who support them. They know each other well and are leaps and bounds ahead of me. I don’t understand how I ended up on this team besides to become the spare wheel. A clan heir (the spare) and a boy who houses an almost endless red chakra stuck with a pathetic civilian.

How fitting.

. ~ . ~ . ~ .

Our Jounin sensei seems…interesting.

His name is Hatake, Kakashi. I’ve seen his face in Mama and Papa’s bingo book. With gravity defying silver hair and a mysterious persona, I’m not quite sure what to make of him. He keeps smiling at us, but I can tell it isn’t genuine. They’re smiles like the ones I give Iruka-sensei when he asks if I’m doing okay.

Kakashi-sensei must be hurting.

“Why don’t you introduce yourselves to me?” he suggests.

“Why don’t you introduce yourself first sensei,” Naruto says, “so we can see how it’s done!”

The Jounin seems to think over Naruto’s request for a moment before he concedes.

“Alright,” he starts, “my name is Hatake, Kakashi. I like many things, and dislike about twice that amount. I don’t have any dreams, and hobbies…well, you wouldn’t be interested.” He ends with an eye crinkle smile, even though he’s obviously smug about his answers. “You go first, blondie.”

Naruto and Sasuke both huff for a moment before Naruto goes.

“My name is Uzumaki, Naruto! I love ramen and my adopted dad. I dislike waiting for instant ramen to warm and mean people. My dream is to become Hokage like Jiji!”

That’s a nice dream.

Kakashi-sensei nods at Naruto before turning to Sasuke next.

Oh no, that means I’ll be next.

“My name is Uchiha, Sasuke. I like training and learning my clans’ techniques. I dislike wasting time that could be spent training. My dream is to be strong.”

Kakashi takes his answer in stride, something like ‘expected’ radiating from his person; he must know something Sasuke hasn’t explicitly said out loud. Then he turns his single eye my way.

I slide my eyes down to his chin, keeping away from that eye that seems to see through people. I don’t have to look at Sasuke and Naruto to know they’re looking at me – I can feel their eyes. I’m sure they’re curious as to what I’ll say seeing as I rarely spoke in class. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sasuke doesn’t even know what my voice sounds like.

My heartbeat picks up again as I feel their eyes on me.

They shouldn’t be looking at me, I’m nothing.

They don’t stop.

“M-My name is Haruno, Sakura,” I manage to say. My voice is horse even to my own ears, so I try to clear my throat before I continue, “I don’t have many likes.”

Suspicious.

“I dislike…people.”

You’re fucking blowing it.

“And my dream…my dream is….”

To survive

To make it all stop.

To make it to my next birthday.

Not to die.

Make Mama and Papa happy.

Get out of my home.

To live.

“My dream is to make my parents proud.”

I can feel a piece of me shrivel and die with that lie.
