I came up with another Tenzo HC that I think you'll like. We all know Tenzo likes reading about architecture, but what if he's also really into flowers and their meanings. So like Petunias are supposed to represent anger or being angry at someone. And then what if... Since ANBU just emotionally stunts our poor Shinobi, what if the way he learns to best communicate is by handing people the relevant flowers to express his feelings.

And we all love that HC of him growing flowers, what if the relevant flowers pop up because he associates that feeling with that flower? Like when it's a really really intense feeling, they just start growing.

Also, i know i share my HC with you a lot but i just feel like you always appreciate them <3

its so funny that u mention this bc just a day or two before i recieved it i was writing yamato and felt compelled to have him use a little flower symbolism! I didn't have him growing any flowers tho, just...ominously looming symbolism clinging onto a heavy thought.

i think this can be a really interesting HC to play with, especially when we consider how nebulous "flower language" is—like, for example the red spider lily has, apparently, the meaning of "elope with me" over here in the US, but in japan, the red spider lily is heavily associated with death, lovers separating, etc-you will see it in anime very often, i remember there was one i watched as a kid (hellgirl, i think?) that had them Everywhere and very ominously

and then there's cases where the flower is Supposed to have a meaning, but bc of how its practically used it has a different or even sometimes contradictory meaning,

for example the lily, in christian spaces the white lily is generally supposed to be indicative of innocence—which is probably why its used at so many funerals (symbolizing god washing out the sins after death and making the soul innocent once more, or something) but the fact that its used at so many funerals means that most people i know, when they see a lily, don't think "aw, how sweet..." we tend to go "oh god. the funeral flower." some even can't stand the smell of it

one of my friends gifted me a piece of jasmine incense he had got once for the same reason, that was a Strongly Funereal smell for him, but it was not for me.

then, there's also the individual meanings that flowers hold for people—

this is jewelweed, one of the most important flowers to me personally! it's native to most swampy, moist areas of the USA, it grows very fast, and tall, and spreads really quickly.

when i was a kid, we'd call this stuff "poppers" on account of how when you touch the green, dangling seed-pods, they would pop! like literally, they would explode, launching their seeds everywhere! here's a video of that.

I'm told that in the language of flowers In General, they represent motherly love, but to me, because of how i played with them as a kid, they will always specifically represent childish joy and wonder, as well as a certain amount of resilience due to how quickly and how well they take over an area (say hello to one of the few plants that can take on the invasive garlic mustard!)

this all to say, the associations between meanings and plants could be something that's really fun to play with—some of his meanings could be gathered from books, some of them could be gathered from the cultural knowledge he has access to, and more still could be developed from his own personal experiences with plants.

i'm not sure where i fall on how much yamato would internalize flower language...or i guess even what kind of flowers hed care about? i see him as somebody who tries to be, first and foremost, practical...

flower language is very poetic and mysterious, but there's practicality in mystery too—he's a ninja, after all, (and, ur right, given Anbu he seems to be a fairly repressed ninja at that) using symbols in order to communicate certain feelings could be very practical, if there are things that are difficult to say...

the only thing is that the person receiving the flowers from him would have to also know what they meant, in order for this to be practical...or there'd have to be a shared understanding of things related to the flowers.

anyway! ur right i did appreciate this, ty for sharing it

#yamswers #supervaca #if anyone else wants to dig into japanese flower language its called hanakotoba (花言葉) i think #i feel like because of the necessities of her profession ino would be far better at flower meanings than yamato #on account of the yamanaka flowershop supplying bouquets and etc #theres also the possibility that he associates certain People with flowers rather than feelings #like perhaps yamato sees dandelions and thinks abt naruto—on account of the hardiness and brightness of that little weed #but also the whimsical nature of it—how when it gets old its seeds are carried by the wind (+ naruto being a wind chakra user) #sakura obviously. sakura. i mean... #perhaps morning glory for sai...they can come in interesting colors and have a smooth graceful shape...but more than that they need a lot #of support—a morning glory is a vining flower...theyre Trying to get up high but they need to be able to cling to things #and metaphorically naruto sakura yamato and kakashi (and ino?) would be his trellis sdhgshdgsdg #the thing is i dont think hed be able to pin a flower on kakashi unless they had some specific encounter with flowers which was impactful #enough that that flower would forever be associated with kakashi #and on top of THAT. kakashi's name translates to "field scarecrow'' so surely it should be some kind of produce hes associated with #kakashi catches on to yamato thinking of flowers abt the kids and is like ''ooooh? do *I* have a flower toooo??'' and yamato #pats him on the shoulder and is like. nope. sorry. you're a rice field. #and kakashis like damn ok fuck you too buddy #yamatos like if it makes you feel better i dont think of myself as a flower either #and kakashis like ''well *i* could assign everyone on the team a dog breed theyd get along with the easiest so i win at w/e this game is'' #yamatos like ''ok whats my dog then?'' and kakshis like ''cat. actually'' and yamato points at him and goes ''see! you're just as bad!!'' #and kakashis like ''no see i have an excuse. you wore a cat mask for 10 years. when have you ever seen me in a rice field?''

I'm Looking For My Husband || Kakashi Hatake x reader

A/n : And here is a non requested fic. As always I take time to answer to requests but I spare time for my own imagiantion. So here is an idea I got a LONG time ago 😂

Masterlist ⚜

Warning : Fluff, heavy make out session, getting caught ??

Summary : You've just arrived in your husband's village to settle in, and once you've finished settling in, you set off in search of him. You meet Naruto, who helps you find him. Little does he knows he DOES know who your husband is

I don’t give permission to repost my work, if you want to share it just reblogue it

Words count : 2193

Kakashi Hatake was a man of many secrets. So few people knew who you were. Of course, there was Guy and Jiraiya, but otherwise no one else in the Hidden Leaf Village. The reality was that on one of his long missions he was paired with a ninja from Suna, aka you. You got along so well that you were entrusted with all missions concerning the common interests of your two countries. Over time, you grew much closer, and Kakashi ended up spending his rare vacations in Suna with you.

Of course, he was far, far from imagining that he would have the emotional capacity to open his heart to someone in this way, and to become romantically attached to them. But it happened, and when he realized it, it came as a shock. Without lying, he wasn't at all happy at first, wondering how he'd react if anything happened to you. Eventually, when all he could think about while lying on his bed at night was you and what you might be up to, and that spread to the whole day, he soon realized that his fear was not going to stop him from doing anything in his plan to keep you close to him.

And what a surprise it was when you told him you reciprocated his feelings fully. He thought he was going to cry, but he didn't have time to do so when he saw your face close to his. His body acted alone and he lowered his mask, letting you taste his lips. A few months later - knowing that you'd been working together for years - you got engaged. Before getting married in a hurry when your time off allowed it. Of course, Tsunade and Gaara - a close friend of yours - accepted the wedding, albeit inter-village.

Very few people knew about the wedding, and frankly no one could have guessed it, with Kakashi's ring hidden behind his protection gloves ( I myself practiced martial art but even in other sports rings are the first thing one has to take off but not here lmao ). And you weren't living in Konoha yet, but you will soon be. Yes, you'd chosen to move in with him rather than the other way round, knowing that the strong ties he had there meant you'd decided to follow him without following his decision to move to Suna instead, what a thoughtful lover he is.

So that's how you found yourself with a suitcase containing all the belongings of a shinobi, a straw hat on your head to protect you from the sun of Suna ( either you see this as a reference to One Piece or to the scarecrow Kakashi ;) )

However, there was a shadow over the picture : while you knew all the important points in the village, you didn't know the hell where your apartment was, though your ninja techniques enabled you to find it rather easily. Apartment check, Kakashi... not check. So you began to wander through the village under the curious gazes of ordinary inhabitants who didn't know who the hell you were, ninjas though knew since Tsunade preferred to tell them a ninja from Suna was going to settle there to save you from trouble with the police, thanks to her for respecting your privacy.

Suddenly a golden-haired boy you'd come to know, thanks to your now husband Kakashi, as Naruto, the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, leapt in front of you.

"Hello miss, are you new around here ? I don't remember seeing you before ? What are you up to ?"

"It's incredible to talk so fast" you thought "He's really as energetic as Kakashi told me and he looks taller than in the photo frame" you thought before speaking aloud "Wo we don't know each other, I've just moved to Konoha and I'm looking for my husband"

"Oooh he's from Konoha I see ! Well welcome then. Perhaps I can help you ?"

At these words you smiled "Yes, I'd like that", thinking it over you added "He's probably training, but I've no idea where exactly"

"I know this village like the back of my hand, I'll probably be able to find it easily dattebayo ! Follow me !" he shouted before starting to run in one direction before stopping and looking at you sheepishly "Let's take a walk instead, I'm sure you've come a long way"

( He could have asked your husband's name before running off 😂 )

You nodded, laughing "Indeed, walking sounds more restful" and with that you made your way to the training area Naruto had described to you. He did disappear for a short moment telling you he needed to talk to someone before leading you to the training areas.

A long stretch of open ground, with what looked like a man-made waterfall and a forest below. Speaking of sunken, here was your husband, reading his book on a wooden bench not far from the foot of the waterfall.

Naruto, unaware of this detail, continued "Hey look there ! That's Kakashi sensei. He's going to help you find your husband. But as he's still reading his pervy book, we're going to have trouble moving him"

"Hhhh Jiraiya's books, they're pretty good"

"You know Jiraiya from where you come ?"

"Of course who doesn't ?!?” you said proudly before Naruto continued.

"Well then, you'll get along just fine" he said as he jumped off the waterfall, leaving you chuckling to yourself for a moment before you followed.

Even lying like that he looked hot.

"Kakashi sensei ! Kakashi sensei ! I have with me-"

"Naruto we are on a break, you'll start training again in half an hour" he said in a monotone yet commanding voice without lifting his nose from the book.

"But this lady is looking for her husband and I thought you might be able to help her"

Before he could even lift his nose from the book, you snapped back, "Can you even see daylight with that in front of your eyes ?"

The mere sound of your voice made him lose his composure, and he dropped his book, which came crashing down on his face as he struggled to get up from his lying position to look presentable, almost slipping in the process. As he finally managed to stand up, his book lay face down on the floor.

His dark eyes widened as he met your mischievous ones, a light red settling on his cheekbones, visible on one side of his face. He didn't know you'd be coming so soon "H-hey-"

"Kakashi sensei she's looking for her husband, that means she's no longer to be seduced"

"That's quite true" you said, holding back a laugh at the young boy's clueless state.

Kakashi smirked beneath his mask : "You're right, Naruto, her husband will probably do just fine. Go back to training, I'll help her"

"Ah, at last ! Good luck, miss !" shouted the boy before setting off for the training ground with a cheerful step.

Turning his attention back to you, Kakashi spoke more confidently, "So you're looking for your husband huh", bringing his hands to his hips.

Out of earshot, you seductively replied "Yes, I've had a long trip and I just need to spend some quality time with him"

"Oooh is that so ? "he replied, his voice dropping an octave as he took a step towards you, careful to keep his distance if anyone was watching. You hadn't yet discussed whether it was safe enough to make your relationship public. But living together, it would eventually come out.

He turned quickly, picking up his book and putting it in his back pocket. Then he raised his arm in the air, gesturing to another ninja a few yards away, before pointing at you. The other brown ninja, wearing a forehead protector, saluted you before giving Kakashi a thumbs-up, taking the time to give him a knowing look.

"Don't worry, that's typical Tenzo, he's always making funny faces" you chuckled at his words before greeting the boy. Then you started walking away from the training area.

"I hope you had a good trip. You didn't get lost on the way" he said, his voice much softer and giddier, with a joking tone, now that you were out of earshot.

"How could I have gotten lost knowing that my needy husband was always bringing me to Konohagakure to secretly spend time with me" you replied, making him chuckle nervously while scratching the back of his head.

The more you were walking and chatting the more he wanted to get close to you, he was itching to have his mouth pressed against yours. But in the middle of the village it was impossible. "Where are we going by the way this isn't the way home"

"No it isn't, we're a bit far from there. So I just thought- here" and with that he grabbed you by the hand and pulled you towards an alleyway out of sight.

"You just have to tell yourself it's an aperitif of what is to come" he said in a husky voice, lowering his mask before pressing his lips against yours, pushing you harshly against the nearest wall, his hands resting on either side of your head. Pouring into this kiss all the effect of the lack your absence has had on him.

"Ooh getting risky I like it" you said, wrapping your arms around his neck "What is going to come next ?"

"Keep this up and you might soon find out" and with that he grabbed your hips before lifting you up and as you wrapped your legs around his waist. He put his mouth back on yours, this time directly going to French kiss you ( French like me lmao ). His tongue caressed yours over and over again until your legs tightened around his waist.

That's when you both felt another chakra close to you. Its source was unknown to you, but the same could not be said for Kakashi. As he stepped back, Kakashi instinctively pulled up his mask, before gently placing you on the ground. As you gently resumed your breathing, your eyes lifted to the source of the chakra.

"S-sorry I didn't want to disturb you but Naruto told me earlier that she was looking for her husband I-I d-"

“Oooh so that’s were he went” you thought before exchanging a glance before kakashi interrupted him "Don't worry she found him"

Iruka's mouth opened and closed like a fish, his index fingers pointing at you and then at him repeatedly "you- erm eh ?" ( yeah that mean "You're married ?" )

You took a quick step before reaching out to shake his hand, "I'm Y/n Hatake. Kakashi's wife" you smiled widely, you've been dying since forever to say that. Kakashi under his mask was smiling too because he too was dying since forever to hear you say that. Hotter than any Icha Icha he has read.

Iruka stretched out his hand towards you, a genuine smile coming over his face which a few seconds ago had been totally embarrassed "Nice to meet you under that name" he chuckled nervously, still embarrassed by the situation before. Indeed, you have the brief opportunity to cross paths one day in the hokage's office during your travels on missions defending the interests of Suna and Konohagakure.

Suddenly as if he remembered with full force what he had stumbled on he spoke again " I-I-I'll leave you now, you're in good hands" "I bet she is " Kakashi said under his breath, as Iruka waved at you both before disappearing as fast as he appeared ( Naruto wasn't near going to hear the end of this, well I mean Iruka is going to slap the back of his head without ever telling him why )

Kakashi whose hands were encircling your waist from behind spoke up "So were were we my beautiful wife ?"

"We were about to go home because I'm not gonna get caught twice in the same day during my first day here"

"At least they'll know who you belong too" he chuckled a hint of possessiveness in his tone

"Well if I were the one hiding under a mask I'd say the same. But everybody sees my damn face so it's without me" you said as you made your way out of the alley "If you want it you'll have to get it" you said seductively before jumping and disappearing out of his sight.

For a second he was stunned, a smirk plastered on his face. Oh you wanted to play. Fine but should be careful because he is a hell of a player. You'd challenged him, so he was going to find you. He could still smell you trailing a track. Better be ready because he'll find you very quickly and he won't need to ask anyone if they've seen his wife. It's your game but here you're on his field. You won't be able to escape him. But you wouldn't have it any other way.

A/n : I hope you guys liked it ! 🍩🥗 Again my requests are open 🥯🍮

A/n 2 : In the original version Naruto was supposed to think Y/n's husband disappeared and he was going to tell the whole village if they saw her husband. Y/n would have been so stunned by the way Naruto handles it she would have just followed to see what he was gonna do. At the end they would have eneded up at Tsunade's office and Kakashi would have been there and Y/n just goes : "Thank you for helping me" and she goes to stand next to Kakashi and Naruto is like 😃🤠🤡

But then I wouldn't have been able to add the French kiss scene 👀🤣😭

Without further ado, here is the wrap-up!

appreciation by Anonymous 

The one where the Land of Waves arc goes badly, but Momochi Zabuza's soft-spot for child-tools doesn't stop him from doing what has to be done.

The Hatake Heir by BelleDayNight

As the sole heir of the Hatake clan, Kakashi has known since he was five years old that he would marry the daughter of the Harunos. Sakura on the other hand is blissfully unaware that the man that will one day be her sensei is in fact her betrothed. There's a reason no man asks Sakura out on a date-- her husband has been quietly scaring them off for years...

Not a Love Like Mine, a Ruin by stargliders

Their captor hummed in contemplation. "This is my show, and whatever I say goes. I think I’ll start by shutting that smart mouth of yours for good." Kakashi closed his eyes, letting out a slow breath. "Take me instead." "But you…you can’t," Sakura said. The words she desperately wanted to tell him refused to come out. (I love you. Please, don’t die.)

take me down (won't you take me down) by xylazine

In a moment of reckless bravery, Sakura volunteers to be taken by none other than the demon of Konoha. Little does she realize how much she's in for.

Please, Please, Please (Let Me Get What I Want) by twofortea

Kakashi-sensei looked so different when he was sleeping.

Consequences by gremlint

Kakashi fucked around, and now he's going to find out. Or: the consequences of neglecting a brat's aftercare.

Hold On Tight by Typhlobasia

Konoha’s Official Exam for Head Interrogators, part two: required practical section, Combined Test of Shinobi Mental Perseverance. This is something Sakura knows she wants to pass for her team; she can persevere, can earn her title, do her part protecting the village, make Lady Tsunade proud for all the efforts she invested into her student over the years… But, seeing her moon-lit reflection in the hitai-ate on Kakashi’s forehead, her friend and former sensei towering over her as she is strapped into the interrogation chair, Sakura’s old fears slither their way back in. “So, Sakura…” Her eyes snap to his, hopeful. Pleading. Kakashi takes a small step forward on the stone floor, the sound of it sharp and echoing in the dim room, “shall we begin?”

Wolf in Scarecrow's Clothing by Fusionblitz28

In which Yamanaka Ino doesn't protect Sakura from bullies and becomes her first friend. Nor does Sakura obsessively crush over Uchiha Sasuke. Rather, her ANBU in shining armor and crush are one in the same person. Eventually the polish fades to reveal something rather unlike its original condition. Maybe it's always been that way and Sakura was too naive to see it sooner. OR; Sakura falls in love at five years old. With none other than one Hatake Kakashi. Kakashi exploits that.

La Petite Mort by rosebrided

“I love you, Sakura,” he whispers like she can hear him even now, the words coming out in a wisp of a breath. And then he adds, “Forgive me.” - In which Sakura is gone from this life, and Kakashi struggles to cope after discovering her body.

That Shattered Soul by twofortea

The bright green of her eyes had dulled, her expression made vacant. She was like a broken doll, a preview of what Sasori planned to turn her into.

cat nap by xylazine 

Curled around his pink kitten, Kakashi the cat slips into a rather person like dream.

breathe me by twofortea 

Every time the nightmares started up again, he found someone new to bury himself in. He lost himself in another person, another nameless face, another warm body—buried the nightmares in warmth, life, lust.

On The Brink by gremlint

Kakashi and Sakura have the unfortunate luck to be captured by some rather imaginative enemies. What they experience will change their relationship forever.

Dancing With a Ghost by stargliders

There was nothing else they could do. The talk therapy had failed. So had both rounds of electroshock. (The lightning Kakashi wielded all these years—had it made him immune? Even as Sakura watched his toes and fingers rattle against the table?) But a doctor in Kirigakure, Shizune explained, had recently invented a procedure that settled the overactive zones in the frontal lobes of the brain. Maybe, just maybe, he could be happy again.

Living-Dead by Komorebi_3

Obito Uchiha decides to send a clone to the 5 Kage summit and observe Naruto and Kakashi in the shadows after revealing information about Itachi and Sasuke. He finds himself a bit bored with the turn of events until a certain pink-haired Kunoichi strolls in confessing her love to Naruto. Everything about her reminds him of Rin and his already fragile state of mind just spirals out of control from there. Or, Obito becomes partially delusional and kidnaps Sakura for his own sick pleasure, but of course Kakashi Hatake can't let that happen so he volunteers to be taken instead.

No Good Deed by Heartensoul

Kakashi had given Sasuke so many chances to make it right—to do right by Sakura. Now, he was going to take matters into his own hands.

compulsion by xylazine

Kakashi has driven her mad with need for years until Sakura finally snaps and takes matters into her own hands.

[depressedhatakekakashi]

-throws toilet paper- wait.. thats not how this is supposed to go, sorry im foreign uhm... trick or treat

*throws toilet paper back at you* trying to TP my house or something? 🤣🤣🤣

Treat for the amazing person!

“Candy!” Obito threw his arms up into the air, sending treats flying in every direction. “So much candy!”

Kakashi shook his head while Rin tried her best to hide her laughter behind her own bucket of well earned candy.

Meanwhile, Minato stared at the mess his student had made and sighed. “How much have you had, Obito?”

“Not enough!” The Uchiha insisted, already digging his hands into his bucket to locate another chocolate bar.

“We might have gone a bit too far,” Rin giggled. “Maybe we should have stopped half way through?”

Kakashi scuffed. “Just because Obito can’t control himself doesn’t mean we should stop.”

“But-“

“The point of Halloween is to get as much candy as possible, isn’t it?”

“Well, yes, but-“

“And that’s what we did. We got candy from every single house in Konoha. If Obito makes himself sick on it that’s his problem.”

Eyeing his youngest student, Minato sighed. There was only one reason he could think of that Kakashi, a kid who hated sweets, would take a sweet filled holiday so seriously.

“Omg,” Rin fell over, clutching her arms around her ribs as she laughed. “You dork!”

“Dork?” Obito looked up from his bucket. “I’m not a dork! I’m the coolest shinobi on all of Konoha!”

Kakashi simply shook his head. “One: no you’re not. Two: she was calling ME a dork.”

Obito stared at Kakashi intently, not a single thought in his mind judging by the blank look Minato could see in his eyes.

Knowing that his student wasn’t going to understand the situation without a little bit of help, Minato sighed. “Gai challenged you to see who could get more candy, didn’t he?”

“He did,” Kakashi confirmed “and,” lifting his bucket up he showed it off to everyone, but pulled it back just before Obito could snatch a candy bar off of it “and there’s no way i didn’t win.”

“You- i-“ slapping a hand over his face, he sighed. There was one student on the road to a sugar crash, and another student who took his challenges way too seriously.

At least he had Rin. She was normal.

“I bet Gai’s still trick or treating,” Rin said with a thoughtful expression. “And i think i have a second costume at home. If we change quickly.”

Obito scrambled to his feet. “I’m going to be a dog this time!” He cheered as he made a beeline straight for his house.

“I guess i could change,” Kakashi grumbled while picking at the pieces of straw sticking out of his shirt. A perfect little scarecrow costume. “Oh! I have the perfect idea.”

And with that, he was gone leaving Minato standing there with a smiling Rin.

“Why?” He asked, the exhaustion from a long night of trick or treating beginning to set in.

“Name one time you’ve seen Kakashi have so much fun,” Rin grinned. “You can’t.”

The truth had never wounded him so much. Not just because Rin was right, but because her being right meant he had another hour of walking around ahead of him when all he wanted to do was go back to Kushina’s and cuddle up with her.

“Oh, and Sensei,” Rin called out to him as she set her bucket down beside Obito’s discarded candy. “We could use an extra bag to carry all this candy.”

I love this pairing. I especially love same age au where kakashi don't know how to handle sakura's snark & also time travel when sakura end's up in bratty kakashi timeline.🤪

Fortune & Favour

You’re my favourite healer,” he said, his teeth bared by his crooked smile. She imagined that smile unnerved a lot of others. Maybe that was the real reason he always sought her out. She didn’t mind the pointed teeth, or that he sometimes still had a smudge of blood across his canines when he sought her care.

His manners, however, were more than a little grating. - Sakura's door is always open for anyone in need, but there's always someone that takes advantage.

If you think about it Sarada's name meaning salad is not that weird. Naruto's name is a food too. That swirly thing they put in ramen.

True, little boy fish cake here has an odd name meaning (tho its also maelstrom or something). But I mean objectively kakashi (scarecrow) and iruka (dolphin) are also kinda weird. A lot of names have weird meanings, it's just a matter of how common/normalized they are

#i mean my irl name meaning is real weird to me bc its like half a Sentence? or a descriptive? #which doesnt make sense to me idk #naruto #uzumaki naruto

Kakashi Tattoo Au headcanons?

Kakashi is Minato’s apprentice turned business partner/shop owner

He’s literally always booked and has been in quite a few tattoo magazines featuring his work and ink.

He’s actually very kind to clients with low pain tolerance and will chat with them to try and help them think of something else. If they need a break, take a break. You’re not winning an award for sitting well (maybe a better tattoo though)

Because he’s the boss, he makes his own hours and will never show up before 1 pm. Ever.

Has one of the pet food wi-fi cams so he can watch and talk his dogs. Naruto and Sakura also like talking to the dogs and will take his phone to do it

Yamato is the only employee allowed in his studio area as the others tend to want to camp out and talk his ear off

Uchiha affiliated, not by choice thanks Obito, but they are some of his most loyal clients and that’s how he met/acquired Sasuke as an apprentice.

Taught Sasuke his best techniques. Like, he knew the kid had talent but even he was impressed with how well he picked up tattooing.

Constantly warning Naruto about his bangers. Consistency is still important and not every client is going to want HIS idea on their bodies forever just do the design they chose, even if it’s Sasuke’s

Trusts Sakura and Yamato to order all the supplies the shop may need. It’s not that he can’t, they’re just very reliable

Has asked Shisui to not hang around Sakura at the front desk. Sasuke’s fans are bad enough, but at least Sasuke doesn’t entertain them like Shisui does. Doesn’t help that Sakura gos along with Shisui’s stunts. They totally have had a bet on who could get the most numbers

Looks after Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Sai. Totally has received calls from them in the middle of the night to rescue one, if not all of them at some point. It’s the only reason he keeps his old van actually

Yes, he has access to luxury cars and SUVs but he still uses his first vehicle that his father and Minato helped him fix as a teen. Those days of laughing, arguing, and kid naruto pretending drive are is own little treasures (and he’s keeping them)

Shop dad. Unofficial mediator. Smut recommender. Guitar teacher. 2 coffees in and still tired. Black belt. Recipient of shop pranks. Photographer. Dog dad. Yakuza arm candy. Unenthusiastic backup karaoke singer. He holds many titles~

A little more invested in dramas than anyone would think he is. Knows about the upcoming ones before anyone else and wants to watch them in the home theater

Drives his dad places just to spend time with him.

Helps Obito train and has been doing so since they were kids. He actually can fight very well too, but he doesn’t want to and is more than happy to support Obito’s career.

Lowkey thinks it’s funny when Obito gets taken to the mat by an opponent after talking a big game. Obito should’ve trained harder and stopped trying to grab his ass

Enjoys when Rin washes his hair for him in the bath, but will never ask her to do it. He’s just grateful it’s somewhat a weekly if not daily occurrence.

Also enjoys when Obito lays his head on his lap to nap while he’s reading. He’s basically Kakashi’s one and only cat 🐈‍⬛

Plays coy with his lovers when they try to seduce him. They want him? Interesting~

Also makes sex tapes with them for his own viewing pleasure. They can watch them too if they want, and Obito definitely wants to. Rin is more shy about it/says she experienced it and doesn’t need to see herself like that. You go ahead guys 😳

Lives in sweatpants around the house

Once he becomes a dad, he’s bringing home temporary tattoos for them. It’s pretty much a tradition Minato started and the shop has them, so why not?

Makes the kids breakfast with scarecrow faces made of fruit and whipped cream

Goes to all their tournaments and games

Is the pillow for at least two people at all times

Has a wall of black and white photos he’s taken starting from middle school and going all the way up to the kids latest candid moments. He sometimes will stand in front of it and just take in all the memories

[punk-pandame]

trans kakashi origin story nobody asked for-

he literally named himself after an actual scarecrow.

see, his original given name was after his late mother. but given what went down with sakumo and the fact that he'd never known his mother, he wanted to cut ties. but not all the way. he wanted his name to be a reminder of something happy, something that tied them into his life but still allowed him to be his own person.

he had remembered the field in the back of their house that had once been for growing crops. most of it was just used for training grounds and the ninken when kakashi was little, but there was a square fenced off for sakumo to grow fruits and veggies. in the middle was a single scarecrow. and kakashi had been obsessed with that scarecrow as a baby. his father said he'd babbled to it when he was Very Tiny, and once he got a little older he would talk to it. the scarecrow was basically kakashi's version of an imaginary friend. their morning routine included a long stay in the garden so kakashi could play with his scarecrow friend and sakumo could tend the plants in relative peace. some of his most vivid memories of his father are of him kneeling in the dirt with gloved hands and a grin, the scarecrow in kakashi's periphery.

not long after sakumo died, dai told kakashi that his mother had drawn the henohenomoheji design on it when she first moved in with sakumo. it was one of sakumo's fondest memories of her, watching her laugh like mad after drawing a silly face on the scarecrow. and it became one of the few stories kakashi actually had about his mother.

so he decided to name himself kakashi, and to use the henohenomoheji as his callsign.

[drabblesfromthevoid]

Edmund Pevensie knows betrayal and loyalty. He is reborn to a father who loves him tenderly like he's the only last bastion of good in the world when Edmund knows that he is not.

Once, Edmund had been named for kings - had been held to high standards and found himself wanting and let the rage and fear of not being enough swallow him whole until he'd been drowning and a hand had reached down and given him a second chance to find his feet again. Edmund knows what it is like to claw up from the depths, to fight for every single last bit of respect, to be judged and found on the wrong end of the scale.

He knows what it is like to reach for an outstretched hand.

Edmund is no stranger to crawling out of hell on his hands and knees. He is no stranger to hard work and change and forgiveness but it is so, so hard to do when you are small and alone again, like the feeling of stumbling out of the wardrobe and stumbling on your feet like you haven't done in years - like turning around to open the door again, hope and fear in your throat only to find endless winter coats and no snow in sight.

It is going home and looking at your parents and only seeing strangers.

In this life, he is named after a scarecrow. It burns and stings at first, to have given up the name that was his in the place of this mockery. He stews in his own anger and rage, and it feels like the very worst bits of his past, and he hates it.

A thought comes to him, then, and it is so absolutely familiar and heart wrenching that he is swamped by homesickness for a moment. "Look, Edmund!" his little sister had exclaimed in a life long gone. "A scarecrow! Aren't they amazing? They're protectors of the field, you know."

He is named scarecrow, but perhaps it is not the straw doll with no heart he is thinking of. Perhaps. Perhaps, he is named protector and guardian. Edmund, who was once brother and king, finds that he doesn't mind it quite as badly.

The memory of Lucy sparks something lost and aching in him. He misses Peter's steadfastness and Susan's caring and Lucy's cheer, but there is none of that here - in a world so unlike Earth or Narnia or anything he has ever known. Edmund does not fit in here. He is an alien - an imposter in his own skin - and his father's oblivious, loving gaze burns.

But perhaps, the most tragic thing about reincarnation is this:

Edmund Pevensie, once brother to three siblings and never having a second to himself - now Hatake Kakashi - is reborn an only child.

#edmund reborn as kakashi #yes you read that right #recently stumbled upon narnia stuff again and was reminded that this AU existed so here you go #naruto x narnia #narnia x naruto #follows the movies more than the books #sorry folks #hatake kakashi #edmund pevensie #narnia #naruto #kakashi hatake #reincarnation au

SIMP OBITO ANON I love that you are living your best life, but I’m gonna copy/paste your thoughts under a cut rather than publishing! They might be a bit triggery for some folks, so this is just to make sure folks can avoid this stuff if they need to! x

Some of this is a bit far out of my comfort zone. But I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself, and I don’t mind getting asks on this subject! I might not publish them all, though.

The one boundary I’ll set is: please don’t send me anything involving graphic noncon. I’m sure you wouldn’t, but just to be sure! References are fine, but please not anything detailed.

CW: mentions of stalking, extreme jealousy, an mpreg fantasy, mentioned baby-death, and general creepy behaviour

Anonymous asked:

Alright you asked for it. More tidbits for the Obito is a creepy stalker/simp asks.

Obito wants to understand Kakashi better, and in order to do that he starts to dig up the family history of the Hatakes. Who is Kakashis mother? And why is Kakashi the last Hatake? What happened to the others? He ends up gathering a whole treasure tomb for Kakashi to explore when he joins Obito at his lair. A big collection of clan histories, jewelry, armor, weapons and clothing. Nothing is too much for his Kakashi.

Naturally finding out how to become best friends with Kakashis Ninken is a big priority. Obito using disguises and genjutsu to take classes in "how to become best friends with you boyfriends ninja hounds", and "how to treat you treat, and his dog" or something else really stupid, mostly attending with civilian women. Obito somehow ends up really drunk at most of these classes since the other attendees love to drink wine while they practice and gossip. So yes, wine club, gossip girl Obito - he needs to let his frustrations out somewhere.

On an escorting mission a princess keeps trying to flirt with Kakashi. So once the mission is complete and Kakashi is gone Obito uses a genjutsu on her out if jealousy. He couldn't do it while Kakashi was there because he wanted his mission to succeed, and also because Kakashi didn't really seem interested. The genjutsu is violent though and makes her go crazy. She starts killing her staff and family one by one, and spirals from there until she is caught and the genjutsu stops. Forcing her to live with all she has done. (This became a bit dark).

Obito wants to be perfect for his Kakashi so he practice kissing with his henchmen (what I have decedide to call the Akatsuki now). One kiss with each henchman, so Obito can feel experienced enough for what Kakashi might like. He won't go any further though, that belongs to Kakashi. (Kakuzu was particularly different though).

Obito desperately wants an heir with Kakashi. So in the beginning of the nightly genjutsus he tried to get Kakashi pregnant. But it keept failing: either Kakashi or the baby would die. So even the fantasy world had its limits. That's why he had now basically adopted Kakashis three genin as theirs. One is even an Uchiha, so perfect.

I feel creepy typing this out. Tell me to stop 😅

Anonymous asked:

Okay so continuing the Obito is a creepy simp asks. What am I on now, part 4? Sorry, but I thought of something else to add and this time it's maybe a bit more humorous. And since I'm never gonna write it, I'll just put it here.

So what if the Akatsuki members come back to the lair and there is Tobi sitting with a person in his lap going: "look what I caught!".

And of course it is a scarecrow dressed a Kakashi that he places in the middle of the room. "Boss says that you should be nice to your new mom. He will be home soon!" And then he dances away, leaving the scarecrow.

Since all the members know of their leaders obsession with Kakashi they are only a little freaked out, and somehow start using the doll as a confessional. Like a priest or a phone room in a bad reality program they start using the scarecrow as a way to bitch about each other and their leader.

Also what if Obito is the one giving Naruto the Kakashi shaped teddy's. Because he has so many himself, and Naruto is so much like him personality wise, that he knows he will appreciate them. Maybe he will tell it later to Kakashi like "see how well I'm taking care of our son!"

By: n3vulaa_undercover (Ao3) & BlueCalibriFont (Ao3)

Book Summary: Inumaki tears through reality like it's made of paper, and he and his classmates find themselves in a world not their own. Violence, sleep-deprived Gojo's and shenanigans ensue.

Characters in this Chapter: Kugisaki Nobara, Fushiguro Megumi, Uzumaki Naruto, Hatake Kakashi, Haruno Sakura, various Shikigami

Chapter 2 Word Count: 3895

Chapter Summary:

Nobara hates falling. She falls from the sky.

Fushiguro is lucky he has a massive hawk.

Nobara thinks the person that looks a little like Gojo-sensei is terrible, stupid and every synonym for awful.

Naruto likes the big dog, that's nicer than Kakashi-sensei's dogs.

Kakashi isn't a fan of this development, the people that fell from the sky.

Sakura is the only person to exist here with an ounce of common sense.

Chapter Notes:

Nobara, my dear murder gremlin. I'd like to formally apologize for the fear of heights I gave u <3

Update: Nobara was not pleased with the fear of heights. She started insulting everyone and threatening homicide. Which makes her a slightly unreliable Narrator.

Chapter 2:

Nobara is falling.

She's falling, she's falling and she can feel her hair wildly lashing at her face, she's going to die, going to hit the ground- that she can't see because she's falling, and her eyes are burning as the wind whips about at higher speed, and there's nothing she can do to so much as slow herself down. Where's Fushiguro and Itadori? Where's Inumaki-senpai?

Where is Gojo-sensei to catch her -the one time she needs it- with that insufferable laugh, with his stupid, idiotic -notcomfortingno- know-it-all grin?

She is going to die, she realizes, with a clarity she hadn't realized one could achieve when falling at sixty miles per hour. There's no Gojo-sensei to save the day at the last moment, and Itadori and Fushiguro were probably falling with her, just as incoherently panicked, and the last she'd seen of Inumaki he'd been choking on his own blood, flowing out of his mouth, falling through a rift in worlds- not even conscious.

She's helpless. She can't do anything, her techniques -that she worked so hard for- won't, can’t help her in this situation, she can't even save herself. And she thinks she sees the ground now- hurtling closer, and she's going to die-

Something grabs her by the shoulder, razor-sharp claws- no, talons, breaking skin and drawing blood that she can't see- whycan’tsheseeit- but she can feel it, sticky and warm as it trickles down her arm, and the momentum continues to –grab-pull-wrench- her downwards; she can feel it, gravity pulling her down- until she manages to jerk in a breath, and her vision clears slowly.

She cranes her neck to get a look at her saviour, and sees a mess ochre feathers, atop which she catches a glimpse of familiar spiky black hair.

Fushiguro.

Trying to shake off the terror and still riding the high of panicked adrenaline, she scowls up at him. "Took your sweet fucking time!" She shouts, internally cringing at her trembling voice. Fushiguro either doesn't hear her weakness over the roaring of the wind, or graciously chooses to look past it.

"I could always drop you," he shoots back wryly, and though she knows he isn't serious- has lived with him long enough to parse through his deadpan tones, she can't help but tense, just a little. She doesn't ever want to fall like that again. She doesn't want to ever be that helpless again. And she won't be, not if she has anything to say about it.

"Any sign of Itadori or Inumaki-senpai?" She asks, changing the subject with all the grace of a drunk bull in a china shop. She is genuinely interested though, genuinely worried. Those two… had fallen through the... portal? Hole? Whatever it was that Inumaki had done, before her, and now that she can see just how close the ground is...

There's no response. The silence is answer enough.

Her insides clench in a way entirely unrelated to the nauseating heights.

"I'm going to kill them." She mutters to herself, because they have to be alive to be killed, and they are alive. They have to be. Itadori is too stubborn to die anyways, something she knows from firsthand experience, and though she doesn't know Inumaki-senpai all that well, she’s sure he will be alive, he'd been doing this for longer than she has, so surely, surely, he must have some tricks up his sleeve.

Never mind that Inumaki could've been dead before he even hit the ground back in the courtyard, drowned in his own blood because of their boredom. Ignoring that relying on Sukuna, the literal King of Curses to heal Itadori again if he'd been killed- again- was worse than naive, worse than foolish-

They would be fine. They had to be fine.

"I don't feel their cursed energy." Fushiguro says quietly, so quietly that she almost doesn't hear him. "Maybe the portal spat them out somewhere else."

Maybe.

Maybe it's stupid to hope. Maybe she should expect the worst so that she isn't disappointed when they find their broken, bloodied bodies. If they find them at all.

But the last time she'd thought a classmate dead, he'd jumped out of a stupid box with an even stupider grin on his face, so maybe, just maybe, she'll hold on to that flickering spark of hope for now.

Without warning, Nue dives sharply, and Nobara will take her ensuing startled shriek to the grave. She'll see to it that Fushiguro will too.

The landing is rough and awkward, with Nue pre-emptively dropping her onto the floor. Nobara lands shakily on her feet, still feeling faintly nauseous, and glares up at Fushiguro, who stares back, decidedly unbothered as he slides off of his Shikigami.

"I'm going to cave your skull in if you breathe a word of this to anyone." She threatens; he blinks what she takes to be his consent. Fushiguro goes to dispel Nue, but not before Nobara ruffles the birds' feathers in thanks.

"You're my favourite teammate," she whispers to it, eying Fushiguro smugly. He rolls his eyes at her antics, and finishes the banishment, bringing forth Divine Dog in Nue’s place.

She stares at the dog because- is he bigger? Judging by Fushiguro's baffled stare, he doesn't know why his Shikigami is now the size of a small pony either. Well, it's his technique, and therefore his problem.

"For tracking." Fushiguro adds unnecessarily, snapping out of his confused reverie, and the two of them set off in search for their classmates.

They travel in uncomfortable silence, the absence of Itadori like a reopened wound in their usual dynamic. The silence is occasionally interspersed with Divine Dogs sniffling and Nobara’s muffled cursing whenever she almost trips over an upturned root, but neither of them dare start up a proper conversation.

"The cursed energy is weird here." Nobara remarks, finally mustering up the courage to break the suffocating quiet. "Clean. It's everywhere too," she elaborates, and Megumi frowns pensively. "Mm." He agrees wordlessly. "Where do you think we are?" She continues, and Fushiguro shrugs, clearly just as clueless as she is.

There's something fundamentally wrong with this place. Like something is missing, something she hadn't been aware of until now, when she can't feel it anymore. Maybe it's how shiny and pervasive the cursed energy is here.

She scowls irritably, thoroughly done with this weird-ass forest and it's too-bright cursed energy when something- cold and hard presses against her neck.

"Don't move." Her attacker’s voice is cold and indifferent, deep voice likely indicative of a males. Her throat tightens and she feels like she's falling all over again, the same bitter helplessness choking her.

Fushiguro's eyes are wide, and Divine Dog is barking furiously, but they can't retaliate because she's a fucking hostage-

And just like that, her indignation overpowers her crippling fear, because she's no one’s fucking hostage, thank you very much, so she grabs the kunai, ignoring the white-hot agony of the ensuing cut with practiced ease, and elbows her attacker in the gut. He seems surprised, and she draws back, leaping over to Fushiguro. She finally gets a good look at her attacker, and she balks, because-

Gojo-sensei? Wait no, of course not.

And on second glance, the previously uncanny similarities fade away, replaced by the glaring differences. For one, this man’s hair is a dull silver-grey in stark contrast to her teacher’s snowy white locks. And his single visible eye too, is a dark gray, almost black. Speaking of, a good three fourths of the man’s face is obscured by a mask and some kind of headband for whatever reason. Maybe it was a fashion statement? Or maybe he was hiding some horrific scarring under there. Might be a potential weakness. But perhaps the most obvious difference between the two is their cursed energy. Gojo's is a massive, wild thing, an unfathomably deep ocean of power that he flaunts at every given moment like the diva he is. This man is lightning, controlled and restrained like a leashed dog. And obnoxiously bright, just like everything else in this fucking forest.

The dull ache of her palm brings her back to reality, just in time for her to see two more irritatingly bright spots jump down from the trees. She's going to have a headache soon if more people keep appearing from the underbrush.

"Why did you attack us?" Fushiguro demands, Divine Dog bristling behind him. "Who gives a shit." Nobara hisses, pulling out her hammer and nails. "I'm going to kick their asses anyway."

"What village are you from?" Disco ball #1 asks, tense and loud, ignoring Megumi's question. He's young, can't be older than fourteen, and there's something underlying to his dazzling cursed energy that she hadn't noticed before, something dark and angry. Something that feels familiar, and like actual cursed energy instead of whatever the other two's Kleenexed bullshit is supposed to be. It still doesn't feel or look right, but something about it almost reminds her of Itadori.

"What, you want to exchange addresses? Have a little slumber party?" Nobara mocks, because she sure as hell isn't telling these random people where her hometown is. What kind of question even is that? Does she look like that much of a country-girl? "Nobara. Look at their clothes." Fushiguro mutters to her and bold of him to assume she hasn't already been judging their sense of style since they leapt from the trees, but she takes a second look anyways. They're all wearing a bizarre combination of ninja cosplay mixed with tactical gear. They also all have forehead protector engraved with identical insignias. Are they part of some cult? Or a maybe clan? She doesn't recognize the sigil, but they might be from one of the minor families that she doesn't know of.

"So? They're really dedicated LARP-ers. Or they have a shit sense of fashion." It's a weak explanation, even to her own ears. Their clothes look worn from practical use, and pretty damaged, like they'd been in a fight recently. Much like their wearers now that she looks closer at them.

She's actually kind of offended. Disco balls #1 and #2 look to be on the verge of passing out, and Discount Gojo's uniform was torn and bloodied in several areas. Did they really deem her such a low-level threat that they felt they could take her and Fushiguro on looking like that? She's almost impressed by their audacity.

"Maybe we should all just calm down-" Discount Gojo says slowly, and ha, isn't that rich. "You're the one who held me at knifepoint, asshole," she reminds him snappishly, brandishing her hammer defensively. But Divine Dog isn't growling anymore, and Fushiguro has lowered his fists, even if he's still in a defensive stance. She shoots him a betrayed look.

Discount Gojo blinks slowly and tilts his head. "I suppose I did. My bad" He muses, and Nobara bristles. He supposes? He fucking supposes? She's going to kill this asshole, screw diplomacy or whatever it is that Fushiguro is trying to accomplish. She lunges forward with murderous intent, and she can see both Disco Balls startle into defensive positions, but something, no, someone grabs her by the collar and tugs her back. Alright, Discount Gojo can wait, Fushiguro just made it to the top of her hitlist.

"Let me go- you crusty sea urchin-looking bastard!" She shrieks, struggling to break free. Fushiguro, used to her insults by now, merely blinks. "Kugisaki. They're the only chance we have of figuring out where we are right now. Control yourself," he hisses. "Or they could slit our throats!" she spits back, furious, but stops struggling.

He's right.

They're out in the middle of nowhere, with no idea if they're even still in Japan, surrounded by foreign cursed energy that she at this point isn't even is cursed energy, and their only source of information had held her at knifepoint.

She really should've stayed in bed today.

"Fine." She grinds out after a long moment. "Fucking, fine." Fushiguro lets her go reluctantly, and she slowly gets to her feet. She stares at him indecipherably, before taking a deep breath. She then socks him in the jaw, hard enough to bruise, maybe even knock out a tooth or two. He grunts, a thing of surprise and pain, before stumbling back a few feet. He glares at her darkly, rubbing his jaw. "Overkill much?" He grumbles to himself, and Nobara graciously pretends not to hear him.

"I believe introductions are in order?" Discount Gojo calls, reminding the two of his existence.

Honestly Nobara would've been content to continue referring to him and his minions as Discount Gojo and Disco Balls #1 and #2 respectively, but whatever.

"..."

"Fushiguro Megumi." Her classmate says after a moment of hesitation. "Kugisaki Nobara." She adds reluctantly at his insistent glare.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto!" Disco Ball #1 grins, and his cursed energy somehow glows impossibly brighter.

Goddamn-

If this is what Gojo-sensei sees all the time she'll buy him some new sunglasses. And maybe some Ibuprofen. No wonder he walks around in that ugly blindfold, this is torture.

"Haruno Sakura." The other one with the pink hair says, eying them suspiciously. Well, at least someone here has some self-preservation instincts. Good for her. "And I'm Kakashi Hatake." Discount Gojo says. His tone is light enough, but there's something in his eye that looks assessing, calculating. He's testing them on something. "Is that name supposed to mean something to me?" Nobara asks flatly, and Hatake stares her down, still assessing, still looking for something, a reaction maybe, until he relents. "No, I suppose not." He says finally. This man and his supposing, God she wants to kill something.

Why's your chakra all weird?" Uzumaki blurts out, and Haruno immediately elbows him in the stomach.

"Naruto!" She chides, "you can't just ask someone why their chakra is weird, it's rude." But Pinky is obviously curious too, if her inquisitive side-eye is anything to go by. And chakra? Was that what this wrong cursed energy was? Or did they use a different dialect here? Wherever here was. She exchanges looks with Fushiguro, who seems to be thinking along the same lines as her.

"What do you mean, weird?" He asks finally, turning to Uzumaki, who's face scrunches up in a way that might've been adorable if she wasn't still contemplating the pros and cons of committing manslaughter.

"It's... Wrong." The kid says finally, which clears absolutely nothing up. Uzumaki flushes at her and Fushiguro's unimpressed stare and hastily continues. "I don't know! I'm not a sensor! You just feel wrong."

That still explains absolutely nothing. Although, if these people look like highlighters with their pure, bright 'chakra' to her, and she presumes Fushiguro too, she doesn't think she'll look too flattering with her cursed energy.

Emphasis on cursed.

"So, mind explaining what you're doing here?" Hatake asks mildly, his tone betraying nothing of the interested gleam in his singular eye.

"What's it to you?" Nobara snaps back immediately, and already she knows that she was too defensive, that she may has as well have straight-up admitted to whatever crime this man suspected her of. "Can't two teenagers go for a walk in the woods?" She continues unnecessarily. Hatake looks almost bemused now, the asshole.

"Not when there was a massive shockwave of chakra just above the two of you that felt remarkably similar your auras."

They'd felt Inumaki's portal? To be fair, it must've been hard not to, it had radiated power and a sense of wrong even back in the courtyard where she'd been mostly focusing on making sure that her idiot classmates didn't get themselves killed.

Hatake is still eying them expectantly, waiting for an explanation. Well too bad, Nobara is feeling distinctly uncharitable. Fushiguro can explain given how eager he is to make nice with these strangers. And explain he does. "There was a... training accident with our upperclassman." He says haltingly. "We got separated in the chaos and we landed here."

“Must've been some accident." Hatake muses blandly, prying for more.

"It was." Fushiguro responds, just as unbothered. He at least has the good sense not to give away more detail than absolutely necessary. There's an awkward silence as each party waits for the other to make the next move.

Uzumaki breaks first.

"So where are you from?" he asks, fidgety and bright-eyed. "I can't see your hitai-ate. You aren't missing-nin are you?"

Nobara blinks at him. Missing-nin? Hitai-ate? What the hell is this kid babbling on about.

"We're from Tokyo Jujutsu High." Fushiguro answers, the only non-personal answer he could really give to a nonsensical question like that.

Five baffled eyes stare at them.

"Where's Tokyo?" Haruno asks, smiling faux-politely in a way that sets Nobara’s teeth on edge. "I don't think I've heard of it before."

"Excuse me?" Nobara asks, more rhetorical than anything because it's the only thing she can think of to say. Because- how can they not know where Tokyo is?

Sure, they could be outside of Japan, and if that was the case she could simply chalk it up to ignorant foreigners, but they're all speaking perfect Japanese, so where are they if not Japan?

Something fucking weird is going on, and she's going to punch Inumaki-senpai when they find him for getting them into this mess into the first place.

"You... haven't heard of Tokyo?" She says slowly. The three shake their heads in unison, with varying levels of vigor. "Should we have?" Haruno asks, wincing apologetically.

"Where are we right now?" Nobara asks instead of answering Pinky Pie’s question.

"You're in Fire Country, just outside Konohagakure." Hatake says, like that explains anything, like that's a real place. She waits for elaboration, but there's none coming, so she counts to ten and determinedly doesn't bash everyone's skull in with her hammer.

Speaking of, she should probably put that away. She doesn't want to ruin this tentative truce that they've reached by giving into the urge to brutally whack everything in this stupid, nonsensical forest to death.

The ensuing silence is awkward as she pockets her weapon and both sides try and understand what the hell is going on.

"Can I pet your dog?" Uzumaki asks, oblivious to the tension and wow, he really has absolutely no impulse control, huh. Divine Dog has been sitting quietly for the most part, but he perks up now, tilting his head to the side. Fushiguro blinks once, then purses his lips. He looks like he's about to deny the kids request, but then-

"Sure." He grumbles, relenting, and Uzumaki lights up like a toddler in candy store, bolting at Divine Dog who only regards him indifferently. Nobara throws a look at Fushiguro, who shrugs like he isn't entirely sure why he let this stranger pet his dog either.

"How many of your classmates were involved with this accident?" Hatake asks, his eye never leaving Uzumaki like he's afraid Divine Dog will swallow the kid whole if he looks away for so much as a second. He doesn't actually look afraid, or even concerned, but Nobara is familiar enough with Gojo-sensei to recognize that kind of nonchalant, hidden worry. She wonders if Hatake is also a teacher. If Uzumaki and Haruno get into just as much trouble as she, Itadori and Fushiguro do-

"Two, maybe three more." Fushiguro answers- and that's right, Maki-senpai might've fallen in after them. She really hopes not, Maki shouldn't have to put up with the Land of Fire and its shiny chakra bullshit or whatever this damn place is called. She's already put up with enough of their shenanigan's.

"Mm. Could you tell me more about this accident?" Hatake asks, eye gleaming, and isn't that just a fucking loaded question.

Stupid ninja cosplayers.

"We're not sure what happened ourselves. It all just happened so fast." Nobara responds, half-lies half-honest, smile all saccharine sweetness and hidden thorns. She can't see it, but she's sure that Hatake is smiling back under that mask of his, just as sharp and deceiving as her own.

She doesn't like Hatake, she decides then. Something about him reminds her of Gojo-sensei at his worst, but at the same time Hatake is so indisputably, fundamentally different from her teacher that looking at him feels like staring into a distorted funhouse mirror while high on crayon fumes. (That had been an... interesting afternoon. She was never taking another mission in a circus again.)

There's also the fact that he'd threatened to slit her throat, which really doesn't help her opinion of him. at all.

"Of course." Hatake says, tone so falsely amicable that Nobara is glad she put her hammer away, because it sets all her hair on end. "I'm sure you wouldn't mind coming with us for some further questioning though. Is that alright?"

It's not a request, and they all know it, even Uzumaki who briefly looks up warily from his dedicated petting.

"Kakashi-sensei-" So this man is a teacher after all, "are you sure that's a-"

"Sure!" Nobara interrupts brightly, grin widening menacingly.

They need more information on this 'Land of Fire' place, and Nobara is fairly confident that she and Fushiguro would be able to overpower a bunch of exhausted kids and their bleeding, asshole of a teacher, sparkly cursed energy be damned.

Fushiguro stares at her for a moment, surprised by her easy compliance, but nods his assent. "Excellent." Hatake eye-smiles, and sets off at a brisk amble, expectation of their compliance palpable. Nobara bristles at the sheer fucking audacity of this man, but follows after him anyway. Divine Dog trails after them, much to Uzumaki's vocal disappointment.

His dismay doesn't last long however, and he soon latches onto Fushiguro and starts badgering him with rapid-fire questions that she has trouble keeping up with, much less actually understand. She can't help but snort at the overwhelmed look on her classmate’s face as he turns to her, silently begging for help.

She skips away merrily, leaving him to his misery, and joins up with Haruno. "So," She says, startling the kid who flinches minutely. "Why do you all look like you got into a fight with a feral cat and lost?" Haruno's expression shutters the moment the question leaves her mouth, and she looks away.

Her hair is a paler pink than Itadori's, more like the sakura blossoms she must've been named after, Nobara reflects absently as she waits for a response.

It never comes.

Rude. Or maybe Haruno had picked up on her barely suppressed murderous rage earlier and is smartly not sharing any potential weakness with a possible future enemy.

It only serves to reinforces Nobara's opinion that she must be the only one of the group with common sense, because no one resembling Gojo-sensei as much as Hatake does would ever be even remotely stable, or sane- or anything remotely close to un-traumatized- and Uzumaki is displaying a truly remarkable lack of survival instinct as he continues pestering an increasingly irate Fushiguro, who looks like he's regretting all of his choices that have led him to this moment.

Nobara's gaze is drawn back to the bobbing mop of pink hair in front of her, thoughts returning to the welfare of her friend with similar burnt-rose locks.

Itadori better be alive, or she's going to kill him herself.

End Notes:

Kakashi: Give me all your money if you want to live!

Yuuji: Bold of you to assume I have money! Megumi: Bold of you to assume I want to live. Nobara: Bold of you to assume that value my life over money. Gojo: Bold of you to assume that I can die.

Look. Is it out of character for Kakashi to attack a bunch of random kids? Maybe... However this man is PTSD, depression and co-dependence on (1) golden child staying alive, wrapped up into a bag and stuffed into a box.

I was originally going to put Itadori's chapter in here as well, but ultimately decided against it. So now you get two separate chapters!
