Tobirama matter of factly planning a temple of the Shikabane-hime in the middle of Konoha is SENDING me oh my god?? Is Shikako still born to Shikako and Yoshino in this universe? How does everyone react to maybe having a mortal incarnation of their patron deity growing up before their eyes? Wait does Shikabane-hime create the Garden during the Founding era. Is she also worshipped in Sand?? And not to hijack other anon’s prompt but the full saying is “by the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes” so.. Jashin? Does Konoha have beef with Yugakure in this world? I LOVE THIS AU AAHH
First of all, Tobirama is a very clever lad: if a goddess is going to support their village built on the shakiest network of treaties and alliances, then he's going to take that support and use it as a foundation because otherwise all they have to go on is his older brother's charisma and that's NOT going to cut it long term. Also, he really is quite jealous that all Izuna had to do was look at Shikabane-hime to get a cool technique while he has to actually go through the scientific method WHILE ALSO DESIGNING THE VILLAGE.
I think Shikako looks enough like Yoshino that in this universe, they think it's the other way around--that Yoshino is, if not a mortal incarnation of their patron deity (because MAYBE Shikako is immortal in this universe due to the massive amounts of earnest worship actually working to make her a goddess even if she wasn't actually one in the beginning) then some kind of... goddess blessed? Like... this Konoha is so off the rails that there may be a separate order of priest/priestess-nin and Yoshino would be recruited for that.
And, like, I do like the Shikaku and Yoshino's love story, and it would be very sad if they didn't get together, so it's not that the priests/priestesses of the Shikabane-hime CAN'T fall in love and have families (and also, because Shikako is just like. Hey. As long as everyone involved is a consenting adult, the genders of said parties does not matter. Hooray marriage equality decades earlier)
Anyway, then if they do still have child Shikako, it could be a very... !!!! ... A Chosen One!!!! And then, THIS Shikako would be the "she who has divine right" version of Hokage!Shikako from my Hail To The Queen series... but that's maybe getting too self-referential?
I do think Shikabane-hime and Gelel create the Garden during the Founding era--because her arriving in each universe post-Split makes the Garden, if it hasn't already been made--so I would think that, yes, a version of her is also worshiped in Sand. But if she didn't stick around to make contact with the shinobi who would become the founders of Sand, they may know her by a different name? Like, in Land of Wind she is Gelel but in Land of Fire she is Shikabane-hime and it becomes a matter of, like, denominational differences.
Alternatively, rather than the Kazekage clan being called "Sabaku no" (of the Desert) perhaps they are called "Yokuchi no" (of the Oasis)? But I suppose that depends how early on in the timeline she is for Sand.
And finally… IS THAT WHERE THAT PHRASE COMES FROM? Oh my god, I'm so bad at identifying when prompts are references to things. It just goes right over my head T_T
I don't think Yugakure even exists long enough for Konoha to have beef with them. If one of Shikabane-hime/Gelel's early "miracles" DOESN'T include a divine smack down of Jashin, possibly erasing Yugakure--or possibly the whole of Land of Hot Water--from the map via volcano (I mean, hot springs are usually because of geothermals, and if she can make an earthquake she can probably make a volcanic eruption) then I don't know what counts as a miracle.

“What if a reader accidentally hits one of the La Squadra boys with her car? Instead of calling for a ambulance, she freaks out and puts them in her car and drives home and attempted to care for them?” - asked by @jashin-priestess
Ohh, this was a fun one to write! I’m sorry for the wait, but I made it extra long this time~ thank you for sending in that request! ^^
(Under the cut for length!)
Risotto Nero:
You still don’t know how exactly you managed to do it, but apparently the shock made you develop superhuman abilities, because somehow you placed the huge 2-meter man you accidently ran over into the back of your car and drove back to your home with him.  
While you were preparing some cooling pads for his broken leg and bruises, you suddenly feel an icy shiver running down your spine. Turning around slowly, you almost drop the ice with a loud shriek: The man you had placed onto the floor just a few minutes ago in order to tend to his wounds is now kneeling in front of you with a knife in his hand that he points straight at your throat. His gaze out of red eyes resting inside pitch black sclerae is piercing right through you.
“Tell me. Where am I?”, the silver-haired man asks calmly and yet the underlying threat in his dark voice is undeniable. You swallow down an anxious cry and gather together all your courage to answer: “I…I brought you home since I kinda, uhm…I hit you with my car and I wanted to help you. I think yo…your leg is broken.”
For a moment the man keeps on staring at you, before his crimson eyes wander down to his wounded leg. Apparently, he didn’t even realize that he was injured until now.
Seeing him lowering his knife, you feel a confidence bubbling up inside you again and you finally allow yourself to take a deep, steady breath.
“Sorry for not taking you to a hospital”, you mumble, “but I sorta freaked out when I saw the blood on the tires, and I couldn’t even think clearly anymore so I brought you back to my place. I hope it’s okay…yeah?”
The man’s strange eyes still scare you, but despite his intimidating appearance, you move closer to him in order to have a better look on his injuries. His muscles visibly tense when you approach him, but he holds back with any movements. Apparently, he has concluded that you are of no danger to him, so he lets you take care of his leg with the cooling pads.
Some time afterwards the man even decides to break the ear-crushing silence between you two by saying: “Why are you helping me?”
“I feel really bad about the accident”, you respond in shame, “so I want to take care of your wounds. Really, it’s the least I can do.”
Risotto stares at you a tad longer in taciturnity before giving you a short nod.
“Thank you.”
 Prosciutto:
“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god”, you mumble like a mantra under your breath as you try to carry the man you just hit with your car into your living room. Momentarily, you are simply glad that he isn’t that heavy so that it is easy for you to lay him down safely onto your sofa. The blonde groans lowly, eyes shut tight from the pain visibly coursing through his body.
“I am so sorry. I just…I didn’t see you standing there, really, It was so dark and when I noticed you, I hit the brakes too late, and I-“
Your mouth comes to a halt when you receive an angry glare out of blue eyes.
“Why did you bring me to your home then instead of the hospital? Aren’t you afraid of letting a stranger in without even knowing if he is dangerous or not? I could do horrible things to you and you wouldn’t even have the slightest chance to defend yourself! How fucking naïve can you be?”
The man’s words might have been harsh, but there was a concerned undertone in his voice, something akin to the scolding of a teacher. Upon seeing the intimidation present on your face, the blonde lets out a deep sigh.
“Well, it is how it is”, he says with much less vigour than before. “The hospital would have probably been a bad choice anyway. Too risky.”
You look at the stranger, questioningly tilting your head at his remark.
“None of your business.”
He presses his fists into the cushion of the sofa with clenched teeth to get himself into a sitting position, trying to carefully rest his leg onto the pillow you had fetched him earlier from your bedroom. You help him with the whole ordeal the best you possibly can.
During the crushing silence between you two, you finally ask: “So, uhm, your name is…?”
A stern look is thrown your way and you already brace yourself for a chiding retort, but instead he really does answer your question – his name is Prosciutto. How weird.
“Don’t worry, I am going to care for you until you can walk again. It’s the least I can do to make up for the accident”, you say to him while you put some cooling ointment onto his injuries.
Prosciutto opens his mouth to respond, but then closes it again after a moment of overthinking. Surely, he wanted to reprimand you again for your gullibility, however, he decided to let it slide. After all, he really could need some assistance with his wounds for now.
Formaggio:
“Okay so, you are…ouch-!”
“Sorry!”, you say as you dab the cotton drenched in alcohol onto the man’s wound. It would certainly not leave a scar (you think), but nevertheless you need to disinfect it.
“Ngh, never mind, I put up with worse in the past”, the man with the buzzcut says, flashing you a cocky grin, one that quickly melds into a pained grimace when the burning disinfectant meets his bruised skin.
“I gotta say though that I’ve never been the victim of a car accident. There’s a first time for anything, huh?”
You look at him – the man who had introduced himself as Formaggio to you earlier – in shock and you wonder how he is able to laugh at a time like this. Especially since you could have killed him right then and there with your car.
“I am sorry”, you repeat yourself, lowering your head in shame. “I’ll make it up to you, okay? I’ll treat your injuries the best I can, and you can stay here until you feel better. It’s the least I can do.”
Formaggio nods at your words, letting himself fall back into the sofa’s cushion with a yawn.
“Alright then, fine by me! But don’t be too good at your job cuz I could get used to a personal nurse!”, he says with a mischievous smirk on his lips.
Illuso:
You tried to be careful – really! – and yet you still handled his ankle too roughly, making the injured man on your couch cry out in pain.
“Fuck, can you be a little more careful perhaps!?”, he snaps at you.
“S-sorry”, you mumble in response, feeling even worse when you notice the man is grinding his teeth in agony from your treatment. “Can I do anything for you?”
“Yeah, there really is something you could do for me…say, do you have a mirror somewhere?”
You blink, confused about his request.
“Uhm, yes, it’s hanging right there-“
Illuso follows the pointing of your finger with his eyes, looking quite content.
“Ah yes, perfect. I mean…could you get me a glass of water?”
Nodding, you move into the kitchen to fetch the man some water, but once you return to the living room, you draw in a sharp breath.
He…he is gone!
Frantically you look around your living room for the slightest trace of the strange man with the dark pigtails, but there is no trace of him, none at all! It’s as if Illuso had only been a…well, an illusion.
Suddenly, you hear a small noise, something akin to a huff of exertion or pain coming from the mirror that hangs on the wall next to the sofa. Huh, how weird. Maybe you had just imagined that sound, your nerves were still playing tricks on you apparently.
 Pesci:
You watch the man on your couch anxiously as he tries to stretch his leg, only for him to let it drop back onto the cushion of your sofa with a yelp.
“Moving hurts too much”, he groans, trying to fight back tears from the seething pain radiating from his injured limb.
“I am so sorry! I didn’t see you there crossing the street and it was too late for the brakes to work”, you try to explain yourself, the guilt of your careless action making you sick to the stomach.
“Why didn’t you get me to a hospital then?”, the man asks, looking up at you with a pang of fear. “What a-are you gonna do with me now?”
“Well, I just kinda freaked out and then took you back to my place. Don’t worry, really, I’m just trying to help you!”, you add quickly when you notice that the man – Pesci was his name, if you recall correctly – eyed you with apparent fear, his hands slightly trembling.
“I’ll make sure to make you feel alright again! It’s my fault after all that you got involved in a car accident after all.”
Pesci gives you an uncertain look, clearly not too sure how to react to your offer. “That is, uhm, nice. I think. Thank you…” 
Melone:
You could almost cry from relief when the stranger on your couch finally opens his eyes. Well, it’s just one eye if you were exact, because his other eye was covered by a translucent mask and a curtain of lilac hair.
“Where am I?”, he asked, his voice still a bit drowsy. You couldn’t blame him for that, after all he had just woken up from an unpleasant encounter with the bumper of your car.
“You are in my house. I brought you here after I, uhm, after I hit you with my car”, you say, the last few words added very, very quietly. The man blinks two, three times, before he tries to sit up, only to sink back into the cushion when he feels the sizzling pain in his leg.
“Ah, I see”, is his only comment to the whole situation.
The man seems to contemplate about something, the gears in his heads working in pregnant silence, before he finally says: “Melone.”
“Huh?”
You stare at the man in confusion. Melone? Was he hungry or something?
“That´s my name. I think you ought to know now that I am already here in the security of your home.”
The man with the lilac hair looks up to you, his turquois eye throwing an attentive gaze at you.
“I presume you are intending to care for me then? Since you didn’t get me to a hospital for medical treatment?”
Well, he had a point! Panic had overtaken you the moment you decided to take the injured man back to your home instead of getting him proper treatment. So, you simply nod as response to his question.
“Di molto!”
Melone’s mouth curves upwards into a sly smile and suddenly you feel like taking this stranger into your home wasn’t a very good idea.
“You know what, I think I prefer your treatment over the hospital. You are the cutest nurse I have ever had the pleasure to meet!”
Ghiaccio:
“Why didn’t you get me to a fucking hospital? You hit me with your goddamn car!”
The loud voice of the man currently perched on your sofa makes you wince. Apparently, he isn’t all too familiar with the concept of ‘indoor voice’.
“I’m…I’m sorry, everything was just a bit much for me and you ran across the street without looking and I couldn’t stop the car in time and I panicked and then I-“
“Listen, I don’t need you telling me in detail how you fucking RAN ME OVER! It just happened an hour ago and I remember”, the blue haired man tried to sit up, but recoiled in pain when he tried moving his broken foot, “I fucking remember it well…”
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry”, you blurt out again for what feels like the hundredth time. In a fit of panic, you had tried to tend to the stranger’s wounds by yourself – a terrible idea in retrospective.
The snarling man on your sofa had grudgingly introduced himself as Ghiaccio and you truly couldn’t be mad at his foul mood, considering that you were the reason for his current predicament.
However, the prospect of you taking care of him until he could properly walk again was at first met with an iron resistance (and a plethora of excessive cursing), after a while Ghiaccio seemed to accept that he didn’t really have much of a choice anyway.
“Trust me, I will treat you well!”, you assure him.
His response hits you like a frosty blizzard: “I hope for your sake that you fucking will or else you’re gonna regret it.”

I want Cioccolata to give me the good ol' Toma(Amnesia) treatment and put me in a cage. A yandere cioccolata would be dangerous but oh so sexy. I have no shame.
Ooh, you are so right about a yandere Cioccolata! He's definitely one of the more extreme ones out there!

If you were being interrogated by La Squadra who would you want to interrogate you?
Hmmm... Risotto comes to mind first. But I doubt I’d be important enough to be interrogated by the Capo. So, my close second would be Prosciutto. I pick these two because they’d scare the fuck out of me. I could see them calmly asking questions, at first. Risotto would just lean back against the wall as he spoke. If shadows shrouded the room, that’s where he’d be. Prosciutto would walk the room. He’d toy with me and spending most of his time behind me where I can’t see him. I’d be only able to hear his beautiful deep voice. He’d walk up behind me and place his hands on my shoulders and ask calmly one more time before he turns on a dime and the real interrogation begins. When Risotto’s done playing nice, he leaves the wall and approaches. He seemed big before but that’s no comparison to when he’s looming over me. For reasons, I gotta stop here. Lol but yeah, I’d pick Riz or Pro. 💕

Religious Debate
Kind of a spoiler for down the line, but it was fairly obvious that this was going to happen eventually.
In this world, gods need belief to sustain them and help them grow their power and influence. Powerful individuals (such as the Sage of Six Paths) and powerful spirits can ascend to godhood when people believe in them and dedicate themselves to their worship. The power of the god is dependent on the amount of people who believe wholeheartedly in them. The Sage of Six Paths is currently the most powerful deity due to the widespread use and reverence of of chakra and the ninja arts which he propogated.
Mayu’s ability to not only believe wholeheartedly in the StrawHats and live by their tenants, but to convince others to believe in them as well, to the extent that beings who did not even exist in the Naruto world as physical individuals or spirits beforehand materialized and became gods in short order is a highly attractive quality for a follower of a god to have.
Especially if you’re the god of a cult that prizes individual dedication to spreading the word of suffering to all those unfortunate enough to cross your path...

I have this idea for a Kakuzu/Reader fic but I don't even like Kakuzu. It's just an idea that fucks with Hidan, who I do love and apparently love the idea of messing with. So I'm just gonna vent about the idea below the cut.
Implied smut is Implied, rated M.
Summary: Reader is an immortal priestess of Jashin that Hidan wants to bang, but you're not interested in him. His partner tho...
(1st, Boru-what?) Starts with Kakuzu getting so fed up with Hidan jabbering that he agrees to stop by the Jashinist temple after they collect a bounty, if Hidan can keep his mouth shut the rest of the way. Somehow Hidan manages to shut up and Kakazu reluctantly follows him to the temple. Hidan, no longer bound by their deal to be quiet, tells Kakuzu that the visit to the temple might take a few extra hours because he's certain he's finally gonna hook up with the priestess.
Great, Kakuzu thinks this is going to be even more annoying now. But Hidan mentions that the priestess has something in common with them: she's immortal.
Immortal like Kakuzu? As in she's extended her life or like Hidan? Where she cannot die?
Hidan shrugs. Both, he thinks. She performs Jashinist rituals like him, inflicting death blows to herself while her victim dies in her place. But she's been a Jashinist priestess for forever, no one knows how old she really is, though she doesn't look any older than her mid twenties.
Kakazu is only slightly intrigued, but he doesn't quite belive she's any older than 50. She's probably infusing chakra to make herself look young; something like Tsunade. Hidan insists that her immortality is a gift from Jashin, annoying Kakuzu into threatening to kill him again.
When they reach the temple, they find you praying over a recently deceased sacrifice. Hidan immediately lights up and grins as he greets you.
"High priestess," You remind him of your title, as he was too casual with his greeting, and remind him of his place.
Hidan, half caught between his religious dedication and desire to fuck you, stutters out an apology and slightly bows to you.
You nod, neither accepting nor refusing his apology, and reprimand him for daring to show up to the temple without a sacrifice. You tell him that in order to make up for this blunder, his sacrifice should be particularly innocent. Hidan rushes off to find a suitable sacrifice.
Finally you turn your attention to Kakuzu with an inclined head, offering only polite greeting but no deference to him. You tell him that he needn't call you High Priestess and give him permission to use your first name. Kakuzu considers refusing, he doesn't want to be on a first name basis with a Jashinist priestess, but you smirk and tell him it'll annoy Hidan.
Kakuzu chuckles quietly and agrees. As you lead him inside, he muses that it looks like Hidan won't be fucking you any time soon. You roll your eyes and explain that while there are no Jashinist rules against you having an affair with other followers, and Lord Jashin has clearly blessed Hidan, he and most other followers are simply too young for you, they remind you of children.
How old are you?
Hmm, honestly you lost count a long time ago. But your first encounter with Jashinism happened after you nearly died in war, to Madara Uchiha...years before the formation of the Hidden Leaf.
Kakuzu is a little skeptical, but after telling you that he fought against Hashirama Senju, the two of you begin to talk about the warring states Era in a way that confirms, to the both of you, that the two of you are nearly the same age.
Hidan busts in, interrupting your conversation Kakuzu, to show you the sacrifice he captured. But you scold him again, this time for bringing a mess inside. Hidan pouts and asks if you are going to join the ritual. You tell him that you have a guest, and that as one of Lord Jashin's chosen, he should be perfectly capable of performing the ritual himself.
Hidan opens his mouth, about to argue Kakuzu's apparent favored status, but you cut him off. You tell him that once he's done with the ritual, dinner should be ready and he can join you ( and Kakuzu, tho Hidan doesn't seem to realize you've included Kakuzu) inside for the meal. He leaves excitedly to do the ritual at the alter.
Kakuzu praises you on your ability to shut him up and send him away. You smile, "I was always good with kids." And make him laugh.
You and Kakuzu are quietly eating, almost done, when Hidan returns and,after glaring at Kakuzu, tells you that the ritual is complete and that he's ready for dinner. You give him a dramatic sigh, and tell him he's not eating at your table covered in blood and gore like that, that he should have cleaned up first before barging in.
Hidan rushes off again and you can barely hold in a fit of giggles at Hidan's eagerness. Kakuzu raises a brow but doesn't have time to ask what so funny as Hidan, a little out of breath, announces that he's back.
"And did you clean up the alter? Hm?"
Hidan instantly deflates and goes to clean the alter.
After you clear your and Kakuzu's plates from the table, you return with a deceptive smile. "Want to see if he can survive a heart attack?"
"What do you have in mind?"
"Ahhh! WHAT THE FUCK! MY EYES! JASHIN!" Hidan curses as he returns, only to walk in and see Kakuzu's bare ass as he fucks you over the table.

Still Breathing | Cioccolata x F!Reader
This is a commissioned piece for @jashin-priestess! Please heed the warnings on this one before you read it - it is very dark.
CW: Non-Con, Extreme Violence, Mutilation, Amputation, Blood, Knives, Mind Break Elements, Guro, Broken Bones, Bondage/Restraint 
The building located at the address you were given, had you been a regular citizen strolling down the streets in the pleasant warmth of the evening, wouldn’t have been worth giving a second glance. It looked to be rather old and desolate, vines crawling up the crumbling brick and debris scattered on the cracking steps leading to the entrance. When you look at the building, though, a chill wracks your body so violently that you almost decide to abandon your mission in favor of fleeing.
The potential rewards that would come from your visit convinced you to stay and carry out your personal desires.
Every single thing about your target, Cioccolata, made your skin crawl – from the way he always smelled like rotten flesh to the cold and spindly fingers he always tried to touch you with whenever you were unlucky enough to deliver a package to him. Not to mention his strange assistant, always crouched on the floor in a full-body suit, eying you with noticeable interest that made you uncomfortable.
The building in front of you was a different location than usual – the packages you’d delivered previously had been exchanged on neutral ground. There would have been no reason for your mission, had you not been subjected to rumors from other members of Passione that left you horrified and insatiably curious. If they were true, though, there was potential for extorting the doctor.
(If only you’d know then, you thought – as cold metal sliced into your skin unforgivingly – how wrong you’d been.)
Eyeing the street to make sure it was empty; you approach the house cautiously and glance at the windows – boarded shut and covered by dark curtains. Your plan had been to approach directly, but an escape route would be necessary for back up. It wasn’t exactly smart, to take on another member of Passione, but your greed for knowledge left you to make a decision you’d come to regret.
It was now or never, then. Smoothing down your skirt – pausing to ensure your gun was holstered and in reach – you lean forward and knock on the door in a symbol that he’d recognize as another member of Passione. You only hoped that a visit from someone else wasn’t a rarity, lest you make a spectacle of yourself immediately.
The beat that passes between the time it takes you to remove your hand from the door and how fast it opens startles you – you’re immediately met by Cioccolata’s assistant at the door, panting and staring at you with what you hope is recognition.
“Hello?” You try, pulling your lips up into the best smile you could muster. The man in front of you smells so rotten that you want to retch, but that wouldn’t exactly gain you any favors. The man in the suit tilts his head and grunts, moving to a frog-like position and sitting as still as a statue.
“Secco?” Cioccolata’s deep voice rings out from the darkness of the house (ah, so Secco was his assistant’s name) before you hear heavy footsteps approach the front door. When he appears, almost melting in from the darkness like some otherworldly creature, he’s wearing a crooked grin. Secco grunts at Cioccolata and his eyes slide to your thighs for the briefest moment before he turns his intense gaze back to you.
“Oh! A guest, this late?” His smile doesn’t falter, but his eyes widen after he looks at you for a moment longer. “Ah, I haven’t seen you in quite some time, cara. You’ve come at the perfect time, come in, come in!”
Cioccolata almost sounds manic in the way he speaks to you, his eyes shining brightly as he waves an emphatic arm to welcome you inside. Secco scampers away and you’re left to stand on the doorstep, the burn in your gut telling you to run and never look back.
“Well?” He continues to grin at you, still waving his arm. With a nervous chuckle, you take slow steps forward until you’re inside the dimly lit house – suddenly aware of how unlived and dusty it looks. Grimly, you realize that perhaps you’ve bitten off more than you can chew. The door shuts behind you and you’re shrouded in complete darkness. A hand comes to rest on your lower back and the hair on the nape of your neck stands up, a chill wracking your body like it had outside the house.
A dim light appears from low on the floor, along with a blinking red light. The room is lit up enough that the bloodstains marring the floor stick out to you like a beacon, making your heart pound uncomfortably fast. Cioccolata hums, deep and low, and starts to trail his hand down your body.
Attack him. Run. Do anything – but the screaming in your mind can’t overcome to fear running through your veins and gluing you to the rickety floor, directly in line of that flashing red light. Your breath hitches when Cioccolata’s hand dips beneath the hem of your skirt and cold fingertips trail your exposed thigh – and then it dawns on you that he’s inches away from touching the gun you had snug on your thigh.
It’s too late though – he senses the change in your breathing and the way your heartrate increases even faster. His fingers close the gap and you wince when they close around the handle of the gun, sliding it gingerly out of its holster, cold metal trailing against your skin as it pulls it above your skirt and presses it to your temple.
“That’s curious. You don’t have a Stand, do you?” Cioccolata digs the metal into your temple when you hesitate to answer. The red light doesn’t stop blinking, but the light travels slowly up your body until its resting on your face.
“N-no,” you whisper. Your voice betrays you by cracking and Cioccolata lowers the gun, trailing it against your jaw before he fits it in his own pants.
“Ooh, you’re getting all of this on camera, Secco?” The sudden shift of Cioccolata’s voice makes your stomach drop – he could so easily switch from menacing to a sadistic glee in seconds. Secco grunts and nods eagerly, holding the camera steady. Cioccolata’s hand comes to cup your jaw, fingers pressing hard into the thin skin. “Good, good! This is the best part, when they lose hope… Oh, you have lots more to go through, so this is just a taste. How long can your pretty little face hold up?”
– And then everything is a rush of white-hot pain, wood floor biting into your skin and splinters tearing at your hands scrambling for purchase, warm liquid trickling down your aching head. There’s a searing pressure digging into your right leg and you want to cry out as it melts into your flesh – god, it’s bubbling, and you have no idea what it is, but it burns, like your flesh is being flayed into a million little hot pieces – and then everything is black. The last thing you see is the blinking of the red light and the glint of excitement in Secco’s eyes, dimly lit from the camera.
-
There’s darkness, when you pry your heavy eyes open. It stings – there’s something sticky stuck to the insides of your eyelids – you grit your teeth and hiss through the uncomfortable sensation. It takes a moment for your vision to adjust, darkness ebbing away to a dimly lit room, too poorly lit to see beyond your own body.  
Your whole body aches horribly, head throbbing so insistently that you want to throw up. It’s nothing compared to the ache in your back and lower body – and then you look down and your vision goes white and you thrash your head to the side, and whatever was left in your stomach is heaved onto the floor as you realize your entire right leg below your knee is gone. The skin looks like it’s melting off your body, sinewy red flesh dangling from the jagged tear.
There’s a horrific searing pain gnawing at the stump that’s been left behind, a strange dull ache pulsing behind it, and you want to scream but it comes out hollow. It’s almost enough to send you back into darkness – you have to stay awake if you want to live, though, so you do your best to even out your rapid breathing and try to focus on anything but the unbearable pain blooming from what’s left of your leg and the ache afflicting the rest of your body.
Looking down, you see that you’ve been stripped naked, the dim lighting making your skin look sallow. Metal scraping against something draws your attention to the far corner of the room and you realize the door is being opened. Panicked, you try to move but realize your arms and legs are strapped to the table you’re laid out on. A wheeze escapes from your throat, fear coursing through your veins.
“Awake already? Hm, you’ve exceeded my expectations.” Your eyes dart wildly as you try to find Cioccolata’s location, but an insistent press on the knee of your right leg makes you cry out.
“Secco, leave that alone for now, you’ll have your fun later.”
You flail in the restraints hopelessly, not wanting to find out what later meant. Secco grunts near your leg, hot breath fanning over the raw flesh and making you shudder. Footsteps echo across the room until you realize they’ve stopped and there’s a presence looming behind you. Cioccolata grabs your jaw and holds your head in place, staring intently at you with bright green eyes. The smile he had earlier is replaced with the curl of his lip, smug.
“You’re quite energetic. The human body is tenacious, isn’t it?” His fingers clench around your jaw harder, like he’s trying to dig through the skull under your flesh. You wince and try to bite back the cry of pain that leaves your lips. Cioccolata tuts. “Don’t hold anything back, now.”
Whimpering, you avert your eyes and try to look for an exit – it appears that the one door is your only way out. Cioccolata follows your eyes and chuckles.
“Looking to leave already? I am curious as to what your plans were.” The fingers around your jaw unclench and instead stroke at your cheek, making you grimace. “Actually…” Cioccolata trails off and moves around your body, unfastening the restraints that tied you to the table. The skin is red and rubbed raw from pulling, but the lack of pressure gives you the slightest bit of relief – though the relief is short lived when you see Cioccolata’s smile. “Go on, then, coniglietta. Try to escape or attack me, whatever you were going to do. I’ll give you a head start since you’ve got that pesky leg problem.”
It’s a trap, you already know by the look on his face (and the state of your body, already broken) but the irrational part of your brain has you heaving yourself off of the table and trying to balance on your left leg – it’s numb, though, and you immediately topple over. Pain shoots through your entire body, right leg throbbing so hard that you cry out, but you manage to drag yourself forward, chest heaving from exertion.
You only get a few feet from the table before you see that little red light start blinking from the darkest corner of the room, and your heart constricts in your chest. There’s not time to think before a crushing pain assaults your left side, loud crack resounding in the air as you wail pitifully and try to crawl away – the next breath you take is followed by an unbearable pain in your ribcage. Still, you desperately claw at the floor and try to crawl forward.
There’s an impact against your left side again and you grunt loudly when you’re flipped onto your back, chest painfully contracting as you try to draw in a full breath. Cioccolata is staring down at you with that same smirk, eyes hungrily trailing over the purple and black bruises rising under your skin.
“Surely you had more in mind than that? Though bringing a gun…” Cioccolata brings his foot down on your right shoulder and presses in with his full weight, excruciating pain flaring under his impact. A sob escapes from your throat and you writhe under his foot. “It’s a good thing Passione won’t miss someone as worthless as you.” Another press of his foot to your shoulder and you wail. Cioccolata drags his heel down your chest, the pass of it over your ribcage unbearable as your body seizes under him.
“I’m not,” you pant, dredging up the last will you had to fight. Cioccolata tilts his head and watches you struggle to speak, amused. “—not worthless.” It’s merely a strained whisper. Cioccolata’s face falls into a frown and his shoe slides back up your chest, heel dragging slowly, until it’s resting square on your face.
“Speak up or it’s no fun.” Cioccolata’s foot lifts up and slams down directly on your nose, loud crack as the cartilage is crushed under the heavy weight of his heel. The impact has you screaming as blood gushes from your nose, dribbling into your mouth and down the sides of your face. “That’s what I like to hear!” Cioccolata lifts the bloodied heel of his shoe from your face to look at the aftermath.
The stinging pain in your nose is nothing compared to the brutal pain biting at your severed leg – you never thought you’d be crying out for mercy so early, hoping for Cioccolata to end your suffering.
“Please,” you manage to choke out. The blood in your mouth tastes bitter, and you spit weakly before catching your breath. “Please stop.”
“Oh?” Cioccolata kneels down beside you, close enough that you can smell the mix of his cologne among the rotten smell in the basement, making your aching stomach twist unpleasantly. “But we’ve barely started! I suppose there’s other things we can do.”
From the corner, Secco shuffles closer and keeps the camera obediently trained on your body. With a muted horror, you realized he’s been filming the entire encounter – it was a rumor you had hoped was true due to it’s potential for blackmail, but now, you just felt ill.
The hope that he’d end your suffering early was snuffed out like a flame. Cioccolata stands from your side and briefly disappears into the darkness, only to come back moments later with a large butcher knife. You finally find your voice and scream again, wiggling on the ground helplessly and trying to pull yourself with your good arm and leg.
“Don’t throw a fit, I’m not using this yet.” Cioccolata places the knife to the side of the table you were strapped to earlier before he turns back and lifts you off the ground with ease. Weakly you claw at his back, but the thick material of his white shirt leaves your efforts fruitless. With a resounding crack, Cioccolata drops you onto the table and lets your head bounce from the impact, leaving your vision starry as you try t to get your bearings.
You weakly protest when you feel your arms being tugged at roughly until they’re snug in the straps again, ropes rubbing at the already torn skin around your wrists. There’s pressure near your wounded leg again and you expect to look down to see Secco nudging at it, but instead it’s Cioccolata attending to it with a wet cloth and bandages.
“Why?” You grumble. Cioccolata lifts his head at your question, but he continues working on your leg. The pain radiating from there doesn’t lessen, but the cool washcloth gives you the barest reprieve as the wound is cleaned.
“I can’t have you giving out on me yet. You practically gifted yourself to me, it’d be a waste to throw you in the trash so quickly.” His response makes you whimper weakly – you shouldn’t have expected anything else. The time that passes is lost to you as you fade in and out of consciousness, called back by the feel of his fingers digging into your wound, until you’re made aware of his face inches from yours, bright green eyes looking hungrily at you.
The camera that Secco’s been handling is shoved into the other side of your face and you cough weakly, a mix of saliva and your own blood running in a thin line down your chin. Cioccolata leans forward and licks a stripe up your bloodied face. Any struggle you’d had left is long gone so you’re forced to whine in discomfort as his hot tongue swipes across your bottom lip.
Cioccolata’s tongue forces its way into your mouth with no resistance, trailing against your teeth and exploring the wet cavern thoroughly, your stomach rolling in disgust. He pulls back, leaving a trail of bloodied saliva connecting your lips – and then you hear the sound of a belt buckle being undone.
You know what’s coming and you don’t want to look, don’t want to think about it, but your eyes fall to the side and find Cioccolata’s erect cock freed from his white pants. It’s thick and veiny, coarse green public hair at the base with heavy balls. His free hand darts out to grip your sore jaw when he catches you staring.
He pulls his foreskin back and steps forward until his cock is resting on your face – you feel sick when he slides his heavy member under your still bloodied nose and slicks it with blood before trailing it to your mouth, swollen purple head nudging insistently at your lips.
“Surely you don’t need to be told what to do?” Numbly, you open your mouth, gagging at the strong musky smell that invades your senses despite your stuffed nose.
“Good, good,” Cioccolata muses, sliding his cock inch by inch into your mouth. “Secco, you’re still filming?” There’s a series of grunts from behind you, and you hear rustling followed by the sound of heavy chomping. “So obedient today, very good.”
All you want to do is cry out for him to stop, or fade out from consciousness again, but your body is clinging to every painful and uncomfortable sensation it can find – the burning pain of your broken nose, every sharp breath rattling your broken ribs, the almost unbearable pain of your mutilated leg – and now the feeling of gagging on Cioccolata’s cock, slowly pushing in and out of your mouth.
You groan around his cock in protest, but it only pulls a moan from Cioccolata and he pushes his cock in even deeper, drawing tears from the corners of your eyes.
“Make sure you’re recording her face, Secco. We’re nearly at the best part!”
Cioccolata’s thrusts start to grow erratic, the sensation of his cock repeatedly slamming into your throat drawing pained whines from your mouth – the vibrations have Cioccolata growling from above you, staring at you in sadistic glee as tears roll down your face. Without warning he rams his cock all the way in, hot and bitter ropes of cum shooting directly down your throat. You gag around his cock and try to roll away, but it only causes your good leg to dangle off the table.
He milks himself fully in your mouth, keeping his cock snug in your throat until every last drop has been released. With a wet pop, he pulls out and a mixture of saliva and cum bubble over your swollen lips.
“If you keep that up, maybe we’ll have a use for you here after all.” Cioccolata swipes his thumb along your dirtied cheek and holds his thumb out to Secco, who eagerly leans over you and sucks at the taller man’s thumb. Secco drools on you when he pulls back and grunts, staring at you with wide violet eyes. “Yes, Secco, you might have a new playmate if she holds up. Don’t put that camera down, now.” Cioccolata fondly rubs at Secco’s covered head before trailing his eyes down your naked body.
One of his wide hands comes to rest on the center of your tender chest, purple and black splotches blooming under the injured skin – his hand almost spans the entire width of your chest. A quiet moan leaves your mouth and you don’t know if it’s because this is the first gentle touch you’ve felt, but you feel sick when you just push your body into his hand. Anything would be better than pain; the delirious haze in your mind was growing worse by the minute.
“So sensitive, just from that?” Cioccolata moves his hand to brush over one of your nipples, the bud already hardened from the cold air. You cry out again and he rolls the nub between his fingers until it’s red and sensitive. “Do you want more? Are you going to give in so easy?” You want to squeeze your eyes shut but you look at him, eyes half lidded, and nod against your better judgment.
His hand moves and tends to your other nipple in the same way – the arousal building in your stomach is fighting with the burning disgust you feel for him, but his warm mouth coming down around one of your nipples distracts you. He sucks at your nipple hard enough to hurt and you cry out in pain. The harsh sucking fades to a gentle pull of his mouth while his tongue rolls over your nipple – it’s enough to pull a real moan from you, enough to have tears of shame pricking in the corners of your eyes and rolling down your already wet cheeks.
One of Cioccolata’s hands snakes down your lower body and you startle, thrashing in the restraints.
“N-no,” you whisper, throat too sore to shout. “Not there, please—”
“Are you sure about that?” Cioccolata slides a finger down until it makes contact with your already slick center, giving him no resistance when he pushes in the tip of his long finger. The shame in your gut isn’t enough to push back the arousal and you instinctively push into his finger, biting back the moan you want to let out. Cioccolata tilts his head up from your chest and meets your gaze, blood-smeared lips pulled up in a smile. “Weak little girls like you are easy to read.” He sinks another finger inside of you and curls them up, drawing a muffled moan from you. “You were already all spread out for me anyways. Secco, you saw her throw her leg over the table, didn’t you?”
Secco makes a loud affirmative sound, earning a cube from Cioccolata’s pocket, thrown as he lifts himself away from your body. Your eyes widen in fear when you look down and see that he’s fully hard again, thick member still dripping with his release and a mixture of your blood.
He shrugs his pants off before he adjusts the table you’re laid on, sliding in-between your legs and leering down at you. Helplessly, you tug at your arm restraints and try to move your legs, but your mangled leg is useless, and your good leg barely has enough strength left to try and push him away.
“Stop, stop,” you whine – you desperately want to pass out, or just have him end it all, but there’s a tiny part of your body that’s aching and begging for friction. Cioccolata responds to your pleas by rubbing his thick cock head against your entrance, smearing your juices onto himself with a pleased groan. His hands dig into your hips to pull your lower half towards himself, leaving you hanging off the edge by the slightest bit.
“Secco, make sure you get her face for this part. The despair in their eyes… It’s always exquisite.”
There’s only a brief pause before he sinks himself into you with a deep thrust – and you scream. You’ve never been with anyone this big and his thick cock stretches you apart with no mercy, walls burning from the violation. “It’s too big,” you whimper, willing your body to adjust before he tears you apart.
Cioccolata doesn’t heed your complaint and starts rocking into you, cock pulling painfully against your walls as he draws all the way back before pushing back in again. Tears roll down your face as he continues pumping into you, but eventually the burn begins to turn pleasant – the pleasure clouding your mind has you focusing on the way his cock rubs against your inner walls.
“Good, good, keep taking it.” Cioccolata lilts. He continues his slow pace for another minute until he pauses to throw your good leg up over his shoulder. When he pumps back in, the burning stretch return as his cock pushes inside your pussy even deeper than before. It feels like your guts are being pushed to the side, if it were possible – when he bottoms out, he pauses, looking at your stomach with an expression of surprise. Your eyes follow his to find a noticeable distention in your stomach – when he pulls back and thrusts, the bulge follows his motions.
“What a good little whore you’re turning out to be.” The admonishment sends a shameful jolt of arousal through your body – it makes you feel disgusted at how eagerly you’re responding to his cock, at how your body aches with every movement, yet you still find yourself feeling sated from the friction being granted by Cioccolata’s cock. You clench around him involuntarily and draw forth a pleased growl.
Every thrust is punctuated by throbbing pain in the rest of your body, each pained breath you’re taking contracting achingly in your chest. And yet when Cioccolata starts pounding into you harder, heavy balls slapping against you with a wet smack, you feel whatever was left of your rational mind fade away as you weakly rock your hips in time with his movements and moan shamelessly.
“I knew you’d be easy to break the moment I saw you,” Cioccolata pants. His hand slides under what’s left of your mangled thigh and squeezes at the flesh before trailing down to the bandaged stump, gripping it tight.
A sob rips from your throat at the overwhelming pain from his fingers digging into the still-fresh wound, almost certainly raw and festering underneath the bandages. Your agonized cry has Cioccolata thrusting into you erratically as he fondles the stump, his eyes darting between his cock pumping inside of you, distending your stomach with every thrust, and the way your face contorts under his ministrations.
Cioccolata chases his release with a final set of frenzied thrusts, burying his thick cock deep inside of you with a final push to fill you with his hot cum. Despite his earlier release into your mouth, his load is sizable and oozes out from you when he withdraws, his cock covered with a disgusting mixture of juices and your blood.
Your body contracts around nothing – the aching in your core was practically pulsing, begging for release just to have something else to focus on besides the pain assaulting the rest of your body.
Secco appears next to Cioccolata to get a close-up of your swollen and dripping pussy, pushing in close enough that you can feel the cold lens nudge against your clit, and you whine quietly.
“What’s that?” Cioccolata pushes Secco away and puts the heel of his hand on your clit, feather light pressure making you squirm. “What a fun little subject you are.” He presses down again, harder this time, and you try to rut against him. “I think you should use your words.”
“Please,” you whine – you want nothing else right now and the disgust you felt for his touch earlier has ebbed into desperation. “Please let me cum.”
The words feel wrong in your mouth, almost as if you’re not there (and maybe you aren’t – your mind is in a hazy and delirious cloud from all the pain throughout your body), but you repeat them until you’re sobbing, until Cioccolata is moving his hand in a steady rhythm over your clit.
“Good, good. I may have use for you yet.” Cioccolata’s praise, even just the tiniest bit of it, sends you over the edge with a strained moan, leaving your body shaking as your orgasm washes over you. He works his hand over your clit until you’re whimpering from overstimulation, pulling away when the table rattles from how hard you tug at your wrist restraints.
You roll your head to the side and stare blankly at the wall, completely and utterly defeated in both body and mind. For a few minutes you’re left to yourself while Cioccolata and Secco exit the room – only to feel panic rise in your chest when you hear the door opening again. The fear of what could come next still sends adrenaline shooting through your veins, yet you couldn’t find it in yourself to pull at your restraints as you lay there drying in a puddle of semen and blood.
“So obedient already. She’ll be a good pet, Secco.” A moment later you feel your lower half being pulled around, and your left ankle is strapped back into the restraint. Another restraint is soon tied taut to your left leg, so tight that it makes you groan in discomfort. “Now stay still like a good pet and this will hurt less.” You want to scream and cry, but there’s nothing left – whatever hope you had of escape is slipping away by the second.
You finally roll your head up to look at Cioccolata, manic grin on his face as he brandishes the massive butcher knife you saw him put down earlier.
“God, no” you plead, your voice finally coming back to you, but Cioccolata tuts in response.
“Shh, now.”
Before you can protest any further, you watch with horror as the butcher knife slices through the air and begins its assault on your leg – all you’re doing is screaming, screaming so loud that it’s all you can hear and whatever pain you had felt earlier is nothing compared to the blade tearing and slicing at your skin. You’re fading in and out of consciousness and when you look down – oh god, you wish you hadn’t and you wish you were dead – there’s deep red blood gushing from the wound, spilling over your leg and onto the table and floor below. The last thing you see is the blade slicing through the air again before your body mercifully gives out in what you hope is the final time.
-
It’s dark, when you wake up – there’s a heavy sensation around your neck. For a moment, and you hope so badly that it’s true, you wonder if this is just part of death, a weird in-between place that you’re stuck in. The agonizing ache of your body, though, has silent tears rolling down your dirtied face as you realize you’re still alive. You’re positioned on the floor, against a wall, but you’re unsure if you’re in the same room as you were earlier.
When you twist your head to look, there’s a clinking noise and suddenly you’re pulled back violently – your body flops awkwardly and you try to right yourself. The pain, despite how all-consuming it is, isn’t as prominent as it was before you passed out, and you blearily wonder how much time has passed.
When you look down, you see that your other leg is gone – but the shock you had felt when you looked down the first time is gone. It was expected, now. Both stumps have bandages on them, clearly more carefully wrapped and well-tended to. You’re still naked, too, and each shallow breath you take is sending a shooting pain through your chest.
A door opens and you hear footsteps scampering along the floor, followed by heavy footsteps you recognize as Cioccolata’s. You blink in pain when low light floods the room, not daring to look down at yourself. Secco sits on the floor beside you and grunts, leaning over to nudge at you.
“Careful, Secco, she’s still fresh. You can play later.” Cioccolata stands over you, kneeling down to pull your chin up with his hand. “You were very good for me, pet. You’ve done better than I expected.” You try to turn your head, but his grip is too strong.
“Why didn’t you kill me?” You murmur – your voice doesn’t sound like your own anymore. Cioccolata clicks his tongue at you and squeezes your jaw between his fingers painfully tight until you whimper.
“Behave. That’s no way to talk to your master.” With a final squeeze, he releases you jaw and instead slides his hand down to press on your chest, making you wheeze and cough up bloodied spit. “Are you going to listen to me?”
There’s nothing left to do but nod your head, resigning yourself to your fate. When you meet his gaze, he quirks an eyebrow. Taking a shaky breath, wincing at the pain, you reply. “Yes, master.”
“Very good.” He removes his hand and stands back up, Secco following suit to perch next to Cioccolata on the floor. He gives you a sick smile before he leans forward, towering over your helpless body.
“If you keep behaving, perhaps I’ll grant you that wish of yours. Good pets get rewarded.”

Sitting Nendoroids
While it’s true it’s possible to pose a Nendo as if he/she were sitting despite it not having sitting parts... well those make the work a lot easier and better on a visual level.
There are lots of female Nendo who come with sitting parts (120 so far plus the Nendoroid more sets) but not so many male Nendo (20 so far!).
While in the past it was completely okay as there were few male Nendo, the increase of male Nendo makes sad how they didn’t provide more with sitting parts (which is why I sort of bugged Goodsmile in hope they’ll make a Nendoroid more set with male sitting parts).
Still to fully realize the huge amount in difference I’m going to list all the Nendo who had sitting parts and let you see how many are females and how few are males.
I also think it can be useful to you if you’re searching for sitting parts.
Mind you, I’m listing only the Nendo that were commercialized as capable of sitting. If there are Nendo who can sit but it wasn’t said... well, that’s all good but I couldn’t know.
So... let’s start with the girls first... as they’re a lot. I could count 120 of them (though I might have missed some...)

And with this the list of girls Nendo that can sit end. But your chances to sit down a female Nendo don’t end here as we’ two Nendoroid more female only set that allow you to sit your Nendo.
Nendoroid More: Dress Up Pajamas
(It actually includes 6 pajamas but one is a secret one. I guess you can have a male Nendo wear the blue pajama but it wasn’t really thought for males...)
Tumblr media
Nendoroid More: Dress Up Swimming Wear
(It actually includes 6 swimming suits, two are school swimsuits like the one below, three are bikinis like the one below and one is a secret one. They’re clearly all for female Nendo)
Tumblr media
Now let’s look at the boys.
They’re sadly a lot less... -_-
017 Nendoroid L
Tumblr media
117 Nendoroid Ciel Phantomhive
Tumblr media
147 Nendoroid Hideyoshi Kinoshita (I don’t know this series but it seems Kinoshita’s gender is up to debate... though Goodsmile gives this one as a male Nendo in its description so I’ll go with it because they thought at this as a male Nendo. Take this not as a classification based on the character’s gender but just on the Nendo made by Goodsmile)
Tumblr media
151 Nendoroid Moritaka Mashiro
Tumblr media
177 Nendoroid Prince

1063 Nendoroid Mukuro Rokudo
Tumblr media
And with this the list of the male Nendo that can sit down end. It counts 20 Nendo, some of those are rather old and hard to find.
Mind you, it can be that some other male Nendo can sit down due to their legs having joints that allow for more poses but as I wasn’t sure they can I didn’t list them.
For the sake of this being a complete list I list the remaining Nendo that have sitting parts... but those sitting parts can’t really be used on other Nendo due to those parts being... not human.
234 Nendoroid Jack Frost
Tumblr media
313 Nendoroid Monokuma
Tumblr media
793 Nendoroid Morgana
Tumblr media
796 Nendoroid Alphonse Elric
Tumblr media
836 Nendoroid Ariel
Tumblr media
980 Nendoroid Jashin-chan
Tumblr media
996 Nendoroid Winnie the Pooh & Piglet Set
Tumblr media
1065 Nendoroid Danboard
Tumblr media
And this ends the list of Nendo that can sit down.
As you can see the male department is seriously lacking so I truly hope Goodsmile will take care of it, hopefully in a Nendoroid more extension.
(Also it would be lovely to have a male swimming suit dress up version or an Onsen version... it’s a bit sad the boys can’t really splash in the water...)

Konoha Hiden - The Wedding Part 2
Fanfiction Net Link Here! Make sure you read the first part before reading this, or it won’t make much sense!
Submission for the NaruHina Wedding Event!
Words: 4.900
Finally! After a full year, numerous re-writes and revisions, and whole lot of procrastination and head-banging, the second chapter is ready!
I was very hesitant to release the chapter. In the first one I somehow managed to imitate Sho Hinata's style adequately and it actually seemed to tie in quite well with the original novel but this... this...
...Lets just say that my style of goofy irrelevant hunor took over and leave it at that... I hope that you will still enjoy it!
Konoha Hiden airing is a big factor I managed to finally finish this. And the fact that there was an upcoming Naruhina wedding wedvent @naruhinamonth
This chapter deals with Naruto and Hinata's wedding ritual. Even though the style is somewhat different from the first chapter, it still references it quite a lot, so if you haven’t read the first chapter, do it now or this won't make a whole lot of sense.
On with the show...
'Thoughts'
"Dialogue"
It was the single most disturbing thing Sukea had ever seen…
It wasn't the most traumatizing thing he had ever seen. It wasn't something that caused him great emotional and physical pain. It wasn't something that would irrevocably scar him and cause him to have nightmares for the rest of his life.
(Kami knows he has had his fair share of those types of experiences over the years)
No, it was the single most disturbing thing he had ever seen. As in what he was witnessing right now caused him a great sense of discomfort and unease, as well as a sudden urge to drop every single thing that he was doing and run straight for the hills. It was disturbing him and it was affecting him in ways he never thought it would be possible…
...The bride was cupping the groom's cheek in her hand and she was smiling at him…
...and the groom was cupping her hand and smiling back…
...in a way he had never seen him smile before…
Two hours ago...
Flash! Click!
The priest was not having a good day…
His trip from Yugakure (oh how he could use the hot-springs right about now) was long and tiring, and he hardly had any time to rest since he had arrived. The wedding was going to be one of the biggest religious events in the known shinobi world, and arranging the specifics -setting up the temple, placing the ornaments and the saké, interviewing/interrogating the Miko maidens - was taking a huge strain on him.
His face involuntarily scrunched up as he recalled some of the answers he had been given from some of the Miko Maidens. How many times did he have to tell them? No, they couldn't have their cake and eat it too. They couldn't pursue relationships AND keep getting that precious virginal Miko maiden income…
...no matter how creative they were in pursuing that goal…
...there was something seriously wrong with young girls today...
Adherence to religious morals was very important to him. He was from a family whose members were all involved with religion in some shape or form. His mother was a former Miko maiden (she was very strict in matters of purity and reverence), while his father was a former practitioner of a strange religion that believed in reincarnation and Nirvana which worshipped some sort of guy in meditating position. His sister left home to become a Shinmei-Ryu priestess while his cousin…
...was exiled from the village for worshipping a strange dark god called Jashin who required constant blood sacrifices in order to obtain eternal life, or more accurately prevent corporeal death. Normally, Yugakure was a place where all religions were tolerable, where all faiths and systems of belief were welcome…
...but him chopping off his torso after hanging himself on a lamp-post to show off his god's greatness, was going a bit too far for the visiting daimyo's tastes.
The priest sighed. He rather missed his cousin. He was fun to be around. Especially when he started rambling and the little bits of frothy spit started appearing around his mouth. Last he heard, he joined a strange organization that was working on bringing about the end of the world.
He always wondered how that turned out...
He turned his attention back to the hopefully-soon-to-be-wedded couple.
About thirty minutes ago he had announced the Shubatsu and had ordered all those in attendance of the wedding to go through the purification rite which would involve kneeling down in front of him and washing their hands. The wedded couple would go through the rite first and then walk into the shrine. It was a simple, quick ceremony which normally took no longer than five minutes.
...Normally...
As things stood right now, the couple was still standing in front of him, arm-in-arm, fingers and palms interlocked with each other, both with a deep blush on their face.
...the groom was still nodding for the bride to go first…
...the bride was still nodding to the groom to go instead…
...with no visible concession in sight...
A Shinto priest is supposed to be patient and understanding. He is trained in a religion that talks of being calm when others are becoming angry, to view the world as a big family, and stay tranquil and collected in his everyday life…
...and yet even he, with all his training, couldn't take any more of this!
"Look, are we going to move on with the wedding ceremony or not? It's going to get dark in a while."
Both the bride and the groom smiled at each other.
"It's embarrassing but…"
"I don't want to let go of his/her hand!" the couple said simultaneously.
The Hyuga clan leader and the groom's "father" merely shook their heads while a teenage girl that was standing near them began to snicker. She was holding a picture of a man that seemed vaguely familiar to Sukea. The man's picture had a black ribbon tied around it, which meant that he must have passed away at some point before the wedding. His face on the picture seemed stern and expressionless.
Sukea thought he should be able to recognize that man, that he must have encountered him at some point in his life, but for the life of him, he couldn't put a name to that face. He was very similar to the bride's father, so he was definitely related to the bride, but he couldn't quite remember what sort of encounter they had. It must've happened a long time ago…
...almost like in a past life...
"Geez! Will you two stop being so sickeningly sweet?" the teenage girl snapped. "I think I can see flies gathering around you!"
The girl's words made the bride immediately stop smiling as if she realized something extremely important that she had missed up until that point. She immediately activated her Byakugan and began scanning the area around her. Eventually, she pinpointed a spot above her and she started to focus, and then focus even harder, until she found what she was looking for.
The insect was small. Much too small to make out its features. To the untrained eye it seemed like a fly, but Sukea's eyes, and apparently the bride's could clearly make out that it was some sort of black beetle.
"I am sorry Shino-kun, but this is supposed to be a small, private wedding ceremony." said the bride. Her voice sounded delicate and low, but for some reason it seemed like it carried an edge that could cut through steel.
Sukea could see the small insect do circles in the air.
"I will be fine, Shino-kun. I am touched that you care for me so much but we all agreed that only close family members would attend it."
The beetle began to do a complicated dance. The bride smiled softly as she picked up whatever message the insect was sending and addressed the air once more.
"Of course we're family Shino-kun." she said in a considerably softer voice. "You, Kiba-kun and Akamaru-kun are my precious brothers. We have fought and bled together. We have laughed and cried together. I really wish I could have bought you in to watch the ceremony as well. But the custom requires only the relatives to attend it. Sakura isn't attending the ceremony either, remember? And Iruka-sensei is only able to attend as a Father surrogate."
The insect zigzagged softly through the air as if finally conceding to her point.
"I will talk to you and Kiba-kun right after the ceremony, OK?"
The small insect left, passing between the Hyūga Clan Leader and the teenage Girl. They looked at it, and then at each other not believing what they had just seen. They both stood there dumbfounded for about a minute.
There was a moment of silence.
"I swear, I meant it as a joke." eventually said the girl.
"I'll have to install bug traps around the bedroom. " said the groom in a barely audible voice.
"What was that, Naruto-kun?"
"Uhm, nothing! Nothing! Shino is very... "
"He is more sentimental and considerate than people give him credit for. Yes."
"Ahem!"
Naruto and Hinata turned their heads to looked at the priest who seemed like he was about to blow a gasket.
"Will one of you please let go of the other's hand so that we can finally go through the purification rite?"
The young couple looked each other in the eyes and softly smiled at each other.
"I think we have a better idea."
They both approached the priest and knelt down before him at the same time.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"We wish to go through the Shubatsu together."
The Shinto priest wondered if it was too late to convert to the church of Jashin like his cousin did a long time ago. He had once told him that a Jashin wedding typically involves the priest bashing the couple's heads together until they both pass out, at which point they are bludgeoned and stomped upon. It wouldn't get him any wedding license revenue but it would work wonders for his nerves right now.
Not that he would ever consider joining the church of Jashin, or course. His cousin was a ridiculous, raving, nonsensical lunatic that worshiped an evil god which required blood sacrifices. The religion his cousin followed was evil and deplorable, right?
Right!
He furiously rubbed his temples and resisted the urge to brutally beat the crap out of the couple that was standing in front of him. The Shubatsu wasn't normally performed like this, but it was either this or watch them playfully argue about who would go first for the next few hours. Besides, one could argue that it was symbolic in a way, their love for one another purifying them and bringing out the best in each other and stuff… that sort of thing…
"Fine!" he said with an audible sigh and ceremoniously poured water over their hands resisting the urge to hit them with the ceremonial ladle and crown their heads with the ceremonial bucket.
The bride softly smiled as she started rubbing and washing the groom's hands. Her fingers went around his wrist and softly started caressing his fingers. The groom opened his palm and engulfed hers as if he was trying to protect her hand, not wash it. It was as if her hands were the most precious thing in the world.
The bride softly pushed against the groom's palm, opening it, and allowing the ceremonial water to pour inside. She softly scratched it while the groom gently touched her wrists with his thumbs. It was like a slow, delicate dance, neither of them wanting to let go of the other, and taking extra care to thoroughly protect each other.
Hardly a word was exchanged between them. But you could see it in the way their eyes shined, in the way their cheeks blushed and in the way their smiles radiated. This was a very intimate moment.
The bride and the groom moved their faces closer to each other.
"Ahem!"
The young couple looked upwards to see the disapproving look of the Shinto priest.
"Oh, right… sorry. We got a bit carried away…"
"Please step inside the ceremonial room and wait until everyone here has completed the purification rite."
The bride and the groom could literally feel the italics in the priest's sentence. His message was perfectly clear.
They both walked inside quietly.
The priest nodded for the rest of the wedding attendants to proceed with the purification rite. They all complied and entered the ceremonial chamber.
Flash! Click!
Other than those little incidents at the start the rest of the ceremony went rather smoothly. The Shinto priest performed the Norito-sojo by announcing the name of the bride and the groom.
"Uzumaki Naruto and Hyūga Hinata are about to have their lives connected through holy matrimony in front of the gods."
The priest did a conscious effort to exclude Jashin from the "God Assembly" he had formed inside his head. Now was not the time nor the place to consider Jashinism as a viable religion.
The young couple walked by the rest of the wedding attendants who all bowed respectfully and kneeled in front of the wedding altar silently as the priest offered a prayer to the gods, Jashin excluded.
Sukea kneeled outside the wedding room and offered a prayer to the gods as well. He wasn't a very religious man, but he believed in the groom and believed that he deserved happiness with someone who loved and cherished him.
"I wish you all the happiness in the world, dobe."
The wedding attendants stood up and the Shinto priest gestured for one of the helpers to bring in the ceremonial saké.
"We shall now perform the San San Kudo, the ceremonial drinking of saké. Will the bride and the groom approach the altar, without holding hands please?"
The couple silently complied.
"Each of you shall now drink from each one of those three cups. The small, the medium and the big one. This symbolizes the moments you two are going to spend together, the small, the big and the uh… average ones?"
The priest just shook his head, as he didn't quite get that part either. Maybe he wasn't cut for this sort of religion?
"You will bring your lips to each cup two times without drinking the saké, and then on the third time you will drink it in full. This uh…"
He stopped as he realized with horror that he completely forgot what the hell that gesture was supposed to represent. His mind flashed with an image of him wearing a black cloak covered with red clouds, roaming the landscape and massacring shinobi in the quest for blood and immortality.
He quickly pushed that image in the back of his mind. Now was not the time, nor the place.
"Never mind that." he said with a quick smile on his face as tried to push all thoughts of Jashinism (and blood), and sacrifices (and blood) into the darkest recesses of his psyche. "Please drink the saké now."
The groom stepped in front of the altar, took one of the cups and brought in to his face. He touched the saké with his lips two times, and drank it with the third. The cup was the refilled and handed over to the bride, who repeated the groom's actions with a warm smile shining on her face.
'She probably thinks of it as an indirect kiss,' the priest thought. 'Jashin help me, these sort of couples make me sick.'
His eyes shot wide open as he realized what he just thought. He nervously stood up and performed a ceremonial walk around the couple, internally cursing the time he decided to have a passing look at the books his cousin left behind after he was exiled. He actually liked being a Shinto priest. It was an easy job, it was safe, it paid well and had lots of benefits. That being said, Jashin kept popping up in his head at the most inopportune times.
Did the couple finish the drinking ritual already?
He rushed towards the couple to perform the next part.
"The groom shall now perform the Seishi Sodoku, the wedding oath. He shall read out a statement of love and faith towards his future bride."
He looked at the groom curiously.
"You asked to prepare the wedding oath yourself?"
The groom grinned and produced a scroll from his hand.
"Sure did!"
He opened up the scroll and started reading.
The groom was known throughout the whole Shinobi World as the master of what was now affectionately called the "Talk-No-Jutsu". He was known to change minds and hearts with nothing more than a fight and a speech. Souls who considered themselves forever lost in the dark found their way back to the light. Entire leaders who were previously hostile became his friends. Villains who encountered him changed their ways and joined the side of good.
Yes, the groom certainly had a talent for improvising words after a long and tiring fight or during the heat of battle…
"When I first saw you Hinata Hyūga, I thought you were a complete and utter weirdo…"
...Actually preparing words in isolation was another matter entirely.
The father of the bride, the groom's surrogate father and the teenage girl all collectively slapped their foreheads, while the bride tried her best not to cringe. For a split second Sukea thought he saw the young man in the picture rub his temples.
"You gave me that ointment during the chūnin exams, which was unbelievably cool of you, because nobody ever gave me free stuff before . And that was after you watched me fart on your teammate's face. I don't know who else would actually want to be with me after that."
Sukea shook his head as he kept listening to the groom's speech. This had to be the worst wedding oath he ever heard. Granted, it was the only wedding oath he had ever heard, but he was pretty sure that you weren't supposed to publicly embarrass yourself and the bride in front of the gods and her family.
"I mean, the last time I farted in front of Sakura, she beat the living crap out me."
And now he was mentioning her, his first crush, in front of his future bride.
'I can't believe he's fumbling his own wedding vows.' Sukea thought. 'No, scratch that. I've known the guy for most of my life. I would be more shocked if he didn't fumble them.'
The groom's hands started shaking as he read the scroll. He was beginning to realize that he was messing up.
"And then we had that 'ramen eating contest' and I thought how amazing you were because you ate twelve bowls of Miso Pork ramen and I was in the back alley puking my guts out after I had only six and… and…"
He started panicking.
"And this is wrong! This is all wrong! It all sounded so good in my head while I was writing this! But now that I'm saying it out loud it sounds so inappropriate and stupid! I knew I should have allowed Iruka-Sensei to check it out! How could I be so…"
That was when it happened.
The bride approached the groom and put her palm on his face. It wasn't quite a slap, but it caused an audible sound that even Sukea could hear outside the temple.
Her action caused the groom to cease his panic attack, freeze and look at her.
The bride didn't say a word. She didn't have to. All she had to do was look him in the eyes and give him a warm smile.
The groom closed his eyes and cupped her hand with his, dropping his scroll on the floor. He then bought his forehead close to hers and smiled back.
"You did it again…" the groom said "You saved me…"
He held his bride's hands and kept going.
"During the darkest moments of my life, whenever I lost faith in myself, whenever I was ready to give up on everything, you were always the one who kept me going, who gave me the strength to do what I had to do."
Sukea couldn't believe what he was seeing. Was that really the same groom as before?
"You once told me that whenever you looked at me you got an intense feeling in your heart, that my smile somehow 'saved you'. I am here to tell you… I feel the same way! Whenever I look at you, I feel as if my heart is going to burst out of my chest."
The bride's smile radiated like the sun.
"Your smile saved me!"
The groom looked at the scroll that was currently on the floor.
"For the past few days, I've been struggling to write a proper oath, but I just couldn't do it. I mean… How could mere words express what you mean to me? How valuable and irreplaceable you are in my life?"
He looked again at his bride and bought her hands close to his heart.
"Can you feel how my heart beats right now? It's beating for you! Only for you! Nobody else but you! I guess what I am trying to tell you is… I love you Hinata! You are the most important person in my life! Nothing would make me happier than having a family with you!"
The bride's smile urged him to go on.
"I don't know what the future will hold for us. I don't know if the peace we have both worked so far to protect will last. But what I do know is that, until the day I draw my final breath, I will always love you, I will always cherish you…"
"...And I will never go back on my words… because that is our ninja way…"
The groom leaned his forehead on the bride's. Their mouths opened up in preparation for a kiss.
...it was at this point that the priest forcibly separated the couple before any "impure" gestures took place.
"That will do for a wedding oath!" he said in the defeated tone of voice of someone who has had quite enough and was going to quietly retire for the rest of the evening in order to get drunk inside the temple's saké cellar. "And will you two please refrain from eating each other's faces until after you exit the temple? This is supposed to be a holy place!"
The couple bowed apologetically in unison.
"We are so sorry!"
The priest slapped his forehead and tried to compose himself. He rather envied his cousin right about now. He might have been a psychotic idiot but at least the god he worshipped didn't have stupid ceremonies like this! He started angrily spouting the words of the Tamagushi Hoten, the ritual which signifies the end of the ceremony.
'Jashin would have just said, bash their heads and be done with it, but NO! I gotta be stuck with these two lovebirds who are more sappy than pancake syrup!'
He got as far away from the couple as he possibly could without exiting the temple. This was seriously creeping him out. He gestured towards the shrine maidens in order for the sakaki branch to be handed to the couple and for that ceremony to end.
This was getting to be more than he could handle.
The present...
Flash! Click!
As the couple exchanged their wedding rings and the ceremonial saké was passed around to the guests, signifying the end of the wedding ceremony, Sukea was standing still, completely lost in his own thoughts.
The image of the bride holding the groom's face and bringing him back to his senses was plaguing his mind.
What sort of strange power did this tiny woman have over his friend? She had managed to take the groom from a moment of panic and make him composed enough to deliver an acceptable wedding oath. And she did it with nothing but a touch and a smile.
It was uncanny. It was incredible.
And at the same time, it was scary.
Because he knew that a single hurtful word from her, a single scold, a single act of betrayal from this woman would have utterly destroyed him.
Is this what it means to be in love? To completely place your heart in the hands of another? To trust them implicitly and absolutely with every fiber of your being?
He always considered such feelings, such bonds, a weakness. He had never allowed himself to trust anybody, he never opened up about his feelings and his pain to anybody. Even when people were trying to reach him, to offer him their friendship and their love he firmly rejected it. He always believed that to trust somebody, to place your heart in somebody else's hands, to let yourself be dependent on someone else like this, would make him more vulnerable.
But the groom, his friend, had always depended on other people like this and he was one of the strongest people he knew. The only person who had managed to best him. Even when all of his friends and comrades were trapped inside the infinite tsukuyomi, even after having his chakra drained, he still managed to muster enough strength to give him one final strike and save him. Because he wasn't just fighting for himself, he was fighting to save the people he cared about, the people he loved. What he believed was the groom's weakness turned out to be his biggest asset.
And even after understanding this, even after witnessing things on his travels that reinforced that understanding, Sukea was still reluctant to trust people, to let his old self go.
He was still reluctant to place his heart inside her hands. He cared for her and he wanted to be with her, but couldn't bring himself to actually do it. He once thought that it was because he considered her love a weakness, but now, as he saw the bride and the groom walk together down the temple, he finally understood.
He was afraid.
Afraid that she would discard him. That she would leave him for somebody else. For somebody who wasn't hurting her and wasn't leaving her. For somebody who was treating her right.
For somebody she deserved!
How could he ever place his heart inside her hands when he had already caused her so much misery and pain? When he crushed her dreams with his spare hands? When he rejected her love and her affection in the worst possible way? When he left her alone for so long to fend for herself.
When he had already killed her in more ways than one.
That was the main difference between Sukea and the groom.
The groom deserved to be loved. He deserved to have his heart valued and cherished.
Sukea on the other hand only deserved pain. After everything he had done, after everything he squandered, all the people whose death he caused, all those bonds he broke or attempted to break, he didn't deserve love, least of all by her. He only deserved to die alone surrounded by jackals who would feast on his flesh as soon as he drew his final breath. He didn't even deserve to leave a corpse behind for his friends to cry over.
At least, that's what Sukea himself believed.
And yet…
A part of him wished to go back to her. To allow himself to get lost inside her beautiful emerald green eyes. To chuckle as she throws a tantrum and something funny happens to her. To be by her side and hold her, to stand by her, to help her…
...to love her… to be loved by her…
As he observed the bride and the groom, he began to realize that this was something he wanted more than anything else…
…he craved… her.
He pointed the camera at the couple once more. Now was not the time to ponder such things.
Flash! Click!
The clicking sound of the camera attracted the groom's attention, who started to eye Sukea curiously.
"You know, you look familiar. I can't shake the feeling that we've met before."
Sukea smiled goofily and started sweating nervously. He was afraid this would happen.
"As a matter of fact, we have. I am Sukea. Freelance reporter."
He could practically see the gears inside the groom's brain start to grind.
"Uhh… remember me?"
The groom's face brightened as the memory came back to him.
"Of course I remember you! You're that photographer who was trying to get a picture of Kakashi-sensei's unmasked face! How are you doing?! I haven't seen you in ages!"
The groom's hand fell on Sukea's shoulder.
"I always wondered what happened to you! Last I heard, you weren't allowed to return to the village ever again."
"I… uh… managed to get a pardon from the sixth Hokage just for this occasion."
"Nice to see you again!"
The reporter tried his best to smile and move backwards . He knew how he was supposed to act and he was really happy to see the groom on the happiest day of his life, but such displays of happiness were not something that came naturally to him.
"Uhm… nice to see you again too."
He watched as the groom held his bride tighter and started walking with her towards the wedding reception. He inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. As much as he cared for the groom, him recognizing who he actually was would put a big damper on things.
The newlywed couple had finally reached the wedding reception. The crowd around them cheered and started clapping as they gathered around them.
Sukea pointed the camera towards the couple once more.
Flash! Click!
The wedding reception started to get busier.
And we are finally done with the Naruto and Hinata's wedding! I was actually intending to include the wedding reception there too, but the chapter turned out to be really long as it was. So the next chapter is going to deal with the NaruHina wedding reception and how the guests interrupt with our favourite couple.
And yes... Sasuke and Sakura are going to finally interact there!
So now you know why Kakashi chose for Sasuke to disguise himself as Sukea, the photographer from "The Book of Wind". The idea is that Naruto and will connect the familiarity with the photographer not Sasuke. And if he tries to check if the photographer is lying he will see that he is telling the truth because... well... Sasuke was also there when Team 7 and Sukea (actually Kakashi in disguise back then) were trying to find out how he was looking under the mask.
Now... about the Shinto priest...
The character originated from a joke question I asked myself. Namely what would a Jashin wedding be like? I mean, since it's supposed to be a viable religion, it's also going to have some wedding nuptials, right? Thus, the Shinto priest turns out to be Hidan's cousin and his personality is what would happen if Hidan had decided at the very last moment to follow shintoism instead of Jashinism. I enjoyed writing him so much that he ended up taking a bigger part in the fic than I had originally intended. I might give him a part in one of the fics next chapter if I get positive feedback on him.
Yes, the fic is not done yet. The next chapter will focus on the wedding reception (it will be based on "The Last"'s credit sequence), after which there will be an epilogue chapter which chronicles what happens to various Naruto characters after the wedding and connects the end of Konoha Hiden with the Boruto Movie / Upcoming Series. I am also thinking of implement a "Kabuto's Report" chapter, which is going to focus on what happens in the wedding reception after the credit sequence, but I am having problems coming up with ideas for it.
Hopefully it will take me less than a year to complete whatever it is I want to do...
See you next chapter (Hopefully)...

Piety (I sure hope it's worth something)

Sakura wasn't who or even what everyone thought she was and that was okay. Her end goal wasn't to prove them wrong, okay maybe a little bit, but she would follow the path laid out for her in the stars. Kaguya was a dead woman from the second she decided she would forsake the other beings and Sakura was going to make it happen
