reborn au, tori POV. lead up to a mysterious ANBU social lmao

“Wait,” Tori said, sitting up from where she’d sprawled out on the picnic blanket. “ANBU parties are real?”

“They’re boring,” Itachi told her, not even looking back at her as he made another throw with a kunai. He tossed a second one at it to redirect it at a new angle that would have been otherwise impossible to throw it at. As usual, he hit the bullseye. The target was shoved into the hollow of tree and angled downward; it was an impressive shot.

“This one will be fun,” Shisui promised. “I told you. I’ll be there.”

Itachi tilted his head back, considering.

“I want to go,” Tori said, now sitting up fully. She thought “exclusive ANBU parties” were like… dumb rumors for people who desperately wanted ANBU to be cool. She was shocked this was a real thing ANBU actually did. But also, now that she was forced to accept they were real, she bet they were indeed incredibly boring, or at least deeply weird. She had to see for herself.

“I’m not inviting you,” Shisui replied. “You’re not ANBU.”

“Itachi will invite me,” Tori decided. They went to social events as a couple now. That was kind of part of their whole deal.

Shisui rolled his eyes. “Itachi can’t invite you,” he said. “It’s an ANBU event, not an ANBU-and-friends event.”

“I don’t see who would stop me,” Itachi said, moving slightly to the left so he could try his throw from an even weirder angle. “A few non-ANBU seem to sneak in every time anyway.”

Shisui clicked his tongue.

“Why are you being such a killjoy?” Tori asked Shisui, annoyed. “You’re the one who crashed our date about this.”

“Date…?” Shisui said. “I showed up and Itachi was training and you were reading porn.”

“This is related to the porn,” Itachi said, throwing his kunai. This time he only hit the edge of the bullseye. He frowned.

“How is it…” Shisui started, then shook his head like he didn’t want to know. Itachi moved further away to make his throw even harder. “Anyway, my point is. It’ll be fun, even if Tori gets denied at the door.”

“I won’t be,” Tori said, dismissive. “They want Itachi there, right?”

Shisui’s lips thinned, but he did have a counter argument. Itachi was, to the confusion of everyone who knew him, considered sort of a big deal in most circles. Even though she was objectively correct. Tori found Shisui’s lack of argument disappointing. She already had “then I’ll convince Kakashi it would be funny, and then no force on this earth will be able to stop us” lined up and waiting. She loved pulling that one. It could make everyone from Shisui to the Hokage anxious in two seconds flat.

Itachi’s kunai finally missed.

“Here,” he said, finally turning to Tori. “This is an actual impossible shot.”

Tori hopped to her feet and stood where Itachi indicated. Then she chucked her kunai in the vague direction of the target. It sailed too low, then abruptly changed direction mid-air and slammed point-first into the target’s bullseye.

Shisui’s eyes widened.

“See?” Tori said to Itachi. “The ‘fuinjutsu can only guide a kunai as well as the wielder can throw it’ thing is fake news. Even a civilian could have done that.”

She’d had to mark up the target and her kunai with like five different seals each, which made this particular maneuver basically useless in actual combat, but the scene in the book had been about carnival tricks anyway. Also, the confused look on Shisui’s face was hilarious. She wasn’t going to explain to him what was going on.

Itachi, being a traitor, opened his mouth and immediately explained what was going on.

“It did start as a picnic,” Itachi concluded of his explanation of their “date.” Halfway through lunch, Itachi had objected to the passage of Icha Icha Tori had read out loud as an actually impossible kunai throw, even though Tori’s point was that you totally could make an impossible shot by carefully applied fuinjutsu.

If Shisui thought any of Itachi’s explanation was weird, he didn’t comment on it. This was basically the only thing Tori liked about Shisui: he could listen to Itachi’s insane comments and not even bat an eye.

Shisui stayed around a little longer, not even remotely ashamed that he’d crashed what was ostensibly a private moment. The weather was gorgeous, which was why they’d picked a picnic instead of something more public, and their spot along the river was good for swimming. Shisui pulled off his uniform and did a running jump into the river. Tori watched Itachi stiffen as he hit the water and then relax when his head appeared again, alive and well and laughing.

“You should go in too,” Tori told him. “I’ll be there in a second. I want to finish this chapter.”

They abandoned the river when a group of screaming Academy students showed up. Tori toweled dry, pondering if it would look weird if she invited Deidara to come back later that day.

“Don’t you need to be practicing your aim more?” Itachi asked her while he gathered up their kunai. “Not just making elaborate seals to cheat?”

Tori blanched. “You don’t have to bring that up now,” she said. Not in front of Shisui.

“What’s wrong with your aim?” Shisui asked, teasing. “Is it actually bad, or have you accidentally fallen victim to the Itachi-adjusted rating system?”

“Please,” Tori replied. “We were genin together. Itachi hasn’t shut up about my aim since I was twelve. I’m fine; he’s just insane.”

“She has a missive from the Hokage,” Itachi said blandly.

“Itachi,” Tori hissed.

“Really?” Shisui asked. “Huh. How’d that happen?”

It wasn’t uncommon to get an official assignment from the Hokage’s office to foster a specific skill to benefit the village. But usually it was something unique: training a bloodline limit, developing a combat style that was rare or specially valuable, practice with an unusual weapon, stuff like that. “Practice with kunai” was a very weird thing to get a Hokage-level missive for; it was more like something a captain would tell a subordinate.

Also, given that Tori was a Special Jounin, it was an embarrassing thing to pitch as a skill she had to work on. That was the type of order you gave to a new genin, or a chunin that’d spent too many days doing desk work.

Her kunai skills were perfectly on par for her rank, thank you very much. It was just that Itachi was a freaky genius whose favorite hobby was doing trickshots, and his standards were insane. Minato just wanted her to push herself from good to exceptional, not just with standard kunai but with specialized ones, because she was learning Hiraishin and he wanted her to be able to use it the way he did.

Tori wasn’t sure she was going to just copy him, once she had the actual jutsu mastered. It didn’t really feel like her style. But then again, she almost never thought about how to apply her research and jutsu to combat until she was actively staring a threat in the face, and being able to slap a seal onto a kunai and throw it wherever she wanted was undeniably a vital skill. She would do the extra practice without complaint.

But Itachi didn’t have to run his mouth about it!

They walked back to the village proper together, taking the windy foot trail rather than hopping into the trees. A lazy day, indeed.

“I’m going to walk Tori home,” Itachi said once they hit the paved streets of Konoha. He very pointedly took Tori’s hand.

“Sure,” Shisui said. “See you tomorrow night?”

“He’ll be there,” Tori promised.

Shisui, she would begrudgingly admit, was an extremely charismatic and friendly guy that most people fell in love with on sight. But, in her experience, most ANBU she’d meet were anti-social weirdos with personalities like burnt toast. She absolutely needed to see what their weird-ass parties were like. For science.

Itachi dropped her hand the second Shisui was out of sight. It wasn’t that they didn’t like each other; it was just that neither of them really saw the point in hand-holding. Tori didn’t like how doing it for more than a couple minutes made her palm sweaty, and Itachi had more than once said something wild like, We would mutually improve our defensive capabilities with both hands free.

Plenty of couples didn’t hold hands, Tori was sure. It was just very important to Itachi to be carrying a metaphorical sign that said, I AM TAKEN. DO NOT APPROACH.

“It would be convenient if you did get denied at the door,” Itachi said conversationally. “Then we could leave. If we did it together, we’d seem united without doing any real work.”

“But I want to go,” Tori said. “I want to study your little ANBU guys under a microscope, like a petri dish of amoebas.”

“Don’t tell them that,” Itachi said, a tiny little smile cracking over his face.

“Don’t worry, I’ll give you special treatment,” Tori said. “I’d tag my Itachi-amoeba with red fluorescent protein.”

Itachi snorted with amusement.

Team 7 introductions are like:

Naruto: I want to obtain POWER so I can force people to look at me like an actual human being and not a monster, haha! They won't ignore me or isolate me anymore! They're gonna BEG ME and put their lives on my hands and— Oh and ramen. All the ramen. And maybe prove to everyone that they are dumb ass fuck for not believing in me? Yeah, prove them wrong, that's cool! And and and Iruka-sensei is cool! I'm so happy when someone does the bare minimum and respects my life and acknowledges the fact that I'm just a kid and that I'm suffering (one of) the craziest discrimination acts applied by our government Hokage...

Sakura: you know how the first real goal I got like the first thing I wanted for myself after years of being bullied and being nobody and wanting to disappear was the affection of this boy? Well, all these other girls think I don't stand a chance and that they'll get the boy, so I'm gonna win the boy and laugh at their faces. Does it mean that I need validation and affection and attention and love? Not, what are you saying, I have a perfect normal life and parents that are totally involved in my life and I am happy! So happy! I wouldn't know what sadness or loneliness is like! Never! I'm normal and totally nothing to worry about!

Sasuke: you'll find that the things you like in life are meaningless when you carry the trauma of being the sole survivor of a genocide committed by the brother you loved and adored. I want him dead which shouldn't be surprising given that we live in a society ruled by violence, right? I hate a lot of things because I'm painfully aware of how miserable our reality is. Since this is my trauma, no one else has the right to do something about it. They certainly didn't seemto have the balls to go after him, even when they call him criminal, so I'm gonna kill Itachi myself. Obsessed you said? Try enjoying life when you know someone can commit genocide and no one would give a fuck and the government won't do a thing. Try caring for others knowing they can get kill any day and you'll have to look the other way. I dare you to.

Kakashi: *most emotionally neglected adult in the village, abandoned as a kid, saw his father do the right thing and get so socially pressured he ended up commiting suicide and the government didn't give a shit, forced to become a perfect weapon at young age to show off the village strength, forced to become an elite assassin as a kid, people in the village widely making fun of his trauma and acting like he's just weird / peculiar and not on the verge of losing his mind for real, a champ at dissociation and a minute more away taking roots in front of the graves of his mistakes because he spent way too much time there in self-punishment, basically the most miserable jounin in the whole village*

Kakashi: hm, I won't let you get to know me or get close to me because everything I touch dies and I don't want to get attachments because you're soldiers and you might die and it doesn't matter that I have history with two of your families and that you all remind every single minute of the boy I watched die and the girl that I killed and the boy used to be. You will never know any of that. I am a whole man with a whole life that you'll never know because I am just your superior here and you must obey me in our missions. I'm definitely not hiding the fact that the village just failed me and set me up to be the one who failed you all in case you get killed or lose your shit once and for all.

Rin's confession scene and its rough timing

"the friend who liked her just died and THAT'S when she decided to confess to another guy?" that's what I heard about this scene. is it really this selfish? what's the point of her confessing right then? well, let's see

contents | the scene itself · lost in translation · prerequisites

CH. 244. First version.

to begin with, I looked at the original scan, and it turns out that both English translations distort the essence. I also don't know Japanese and I will talk about it really shallowly.

why did I mention both translations? here's another one.

I'll give this one as a better example and later will summarise the translation thing in general.

The scene itself

Obito is dead. Kakashi and Rin have just said goodbye to him forever (yeah, the irony) and are in the middle of a battle with Iwagakure ninjas, who are much stronger. that's Kakashi and Rin's conflict I'm going to talk about.

so, Kakashi is not even considering the option that Rin will fight now, he is so set up for the idea of protecting her that this is the only attitude for him now, and it is not surprising for a child who has just lost a friend in battle. the same description can be applied to Rin. she also just lost a friend and is as afraid that she might lose another one. when Kakashi tells her to leave, she objects because she wants to protect him the same way he's protecting her now, and the same way Obito protected both of them (what a bunch of self-sacrificers). this is actually the central theme of their conflict.

so the first component of their conflict is Rin's care for Kakashi, from which the second component comes out — Rin's confession of her feelings for Kakashi. why so?

Lost in translation

now let's linger on the original, and see what was really meant there.

CH. 244 Page 13

Rough translation (tell me if I messed it up)

Kakashi: Obito liked you... he liked you so much... you were important to him. that's why I'll risk my life to save it.

Rin: if that's the case! Kakashi... my feelings—

okay, how exactly is their dialogue built? Kakashi says about Obito's feelings for Rin and emphasizes that he is ready to risk his life to protect what was very important to Obito (saving Rin) in tribute to the dead comrade.

in response, Rin uses the word "nara" [ なら ] [second picture, frame on the left], which means "then, in that case, if". thus she makes a link with Kakashi's remark, which means that Rin intends to continue the meaning of what the boy said with his phrase.

the thing is, Kakashi's phrase contains two thoughts:

Obito, who just died in the fight, did it because he loved you very much and wanted for you to be safe.

I respect that and I want to fulfill his wish by protecting you. that's why you should go away.

Kakashi focuses on the second thought, while Rin focuses on the first one. this is where they have a conflict, they understood the meaning of what was said in different ways. or they choose what they wanted to hear.

Rin focuses on the first thought because with the second one Kakashi decided everything for her — after what happened. she needs to find an argument for why exactly she can stay and protect Kakashi, and this argument has already been said by Kakashi in relation to Obito, so why wouldn't he understand her in this?

what she intended to say can be read as follows: "since you understand Obito's position, you should understand why I don't want to leave you. the way I was dear to Obito, you are dear to me. and that's why I'm not leaving the battlefield."

her confession here is so hasty, forced, she needs to say it to explain her intentions. there's no selfishness actually and I think she didn't even wanted to tell this to him in such way, because she does it really cautiously, just enough to explain and not shout "I LOVE YOU", as Hinata did, for example. so, she just had to.

why is this "my feelings" phrase a declaration of love to him, and not something else? after all, feelings can be about a lot in such a context, and we are not given a direct lead, are we?

Kakashi: I... I was once... the scum that would abandon you...

after Rin's words, Kakashi doesn't talk about anything but himself. he says that he has already let Rin down once, as if showing her that he is not worthy of Rin feeling for him anything comparable to what he mentioned before. we can also see that he is hesitating a bit, trying to find what to say, as if Rin's words were unexpected (but not traumatizing) for him anyways. however, he obviously interrupts her, that is, he does not want to hear the full phrase, again for the reason above.

Prerequisites

a couple of additional "why then" reasons.

Rin was being kidnapped, and she probably blamed herself for it. due to her abduction, kkobkk opened a side quest to rescue her, which led to the site of their last battle together (cave) and the enemy's trap (collapse). and the conflict scene with Kakashi takes place right after. can you imagine how it feels to feel guilty about everything that happened and find yourself in a situation where the best thing you can do is not get in the way? Rin's tears here, as well as her desire to help Kakashi after everything, are really justified, and I feel very sorry for the poor girl.

CH. 239

and even while being kidnapped, Rin protected Kakashi and Obito in her own way. before the mission, she gave Kakashi a first aid kit, which helped a lot when he was injured.

well, what am I all about. this is not a random moment for confession, and you should not blame Rin for allegedly not respecting Obito's feelings. she? didn't respect Obito's feelings? can you hear yourself? she's the last person you can say that about. I love her. be nice to the cutie.

Imagine… retired Kakashi who has to wear reading glasses after years of carrying a power he had no wish for in the first place. Who still suffers to this day from migraines and the occasional trauma response in memory of the sharingan he no longer possesses.

Kakashi, who was always reading using only one eye for at least a decade, went on to become Hokage, with it huge piles of paperwork and records. It was no wonder he eventually needed the help of glasses despite his muttered grumbles and protests that he could see perfectly fine. After all, what shinobi worth their salt couldn’t see?

Kakashi, who eventually accepts your help, finally understanding your worries whenever his pain would wake him—and you—in the night. Kakashi, who never wanted to hear your voice full of pain and anguish again as you rubbed tenderly at his aching temples, and applied a cool rag to his forehead.

Kakashi, who is relieved to discover he only needs glasses for reading and that his vision at range is still within the acceptable levels of an active shinobi, even if he is meant to be retired now. Who begrudgingly places his new eyewear on when you catch him reading the newspaper without them on with a dramatic sigh and roll of his eyes.

Kakashi, who starts to realise that you look at him a little differently when he wears his glasses. Who notices the slight glaze covering your eyes, the almost imperceptible twitch at the corner of your lips and the breathy sigh you try to conceal with a yawn. It makes him a little giddy, not expecting to find a new way to fluster you after all these years together.

Kakashi, who intentionally peers at you over the rim of his new favourite pair of frames whilst perched in his favourite reading spot. Beckoning you towards him with a crook of the finger, his book laid to the side, forgotten. Kakashi, who teases you over his new look and your obvious admiration. Who kisses you passionately, making love to you right then and there until you scream his name loud enough to carry on the wind.

Kakashi, who notices a reduction in the frequency of his migraines after a few months. Who still wakes in the night on occasion but the pain is never on the same level as once before. Perhaps he should have listened to you sooner, a fleeting thought that drifts through his mind whilst he gazes lovingly at your sleeping form next to him.

Kakashi, who will wear his glasses happily now. Thrilled that he no longer has debilitating pain to deal with, as well as a wife who clearly finds him attractive either with or without the frames adorning his face.

Kakashi, who loves you endlessly and would do anything to see you smile… never wishing to be the reason worry lined your expression ever again.

(this was meant to be a lot shorter but thoughts kept popping into my brain. As a glasses wearer and migraine sufferer this was rather self-indulgent but there is no way that Kakashi doesn’t suffer migraines after hosting the sharingan for so long…)

hi kit !! :3 hope you’re well <3

can i request "why are you doing this?" "because i love you." w kakashi for the prompts ? tysm !!

⁙ conundrum

(noun) a confusing and difficult problem or question

‣ modern au! ceo! hatake kakashi x personal assistant! gn! reader; 0.63k wc; hints of enemies-to-lovers trope; sickfic; one mention of drinking, throwing up, hangover; idiots in love; love confessions; tooth-rotting fluff; domestic fluff

‣ hey jess (@pupkashi)!! ofc you can!!!! tysm and hope you'll like this <333

‣ first time writing for the sixth hokage with minimum knowledge possible on naruto manga/anime. gif, divider and characters ain't mine. please don't plagiarize, translate or repost this. enjoy reading! ❤️

a conundrum.

a baffling, bewitching conundrum is what you are to hatake kakashi.

from your first day as the man's personal assistant when you call the black coffee he drinks as 'overpriced water'...

... to the day, a month later, you fib on there being heaps of work to be done, thus you being in office – when you finished everything two days prior; besides it being a Sunday, the death anniversary of his father and kakashi the only one working there...

... to the day you chatter his ears off, listing the reasons why you, 'the most tolerant assistant ever' (not his words, yours) deserve a pay hike – the main reason being 'the twenty times in the past six months you hauled his drunk ass to his penthouse on the thirtieth floor, ensured he didn't die choking on his puke or from a hangover headache, and dealt with every task of his for the next two days – what with him being a fucking lightweight and all' (again not his words, yours)...

... to now, when you're at his bedside, applying a piece of wet cloth to his forehead, a worried scowl twisting your pretty features.

a shadow of a smirk plays with the corner of his lips as he asks, "you do realize, right, unlike before, i won't increase your salary for playing nurse to me this time?"

"i know," you mutter, as you dial in the doctor's number. the call goes unanswered yet again, kakashi discerns from the quiet sigh falling past your lips. keeping your phone next to the night lamp, you return your attention to him and caress his cheek with a cool palm.

despite leaning into the comfort you offer him from his fever-stricken state, the man's smirk at you doesn't budge one bit.

"then, why are you doing this?"

your hand stills over the apple of his cheek.

in the soft light of the afternoon sun filtering in through the curtains, kakashi watches the way your gaze darts anxiously (and dare he say, coyly) from him to the wall clock and back to him, your teeth nibbling on your lower lip – before a tiny smile blooms on your lips.

"because i love you."

it's kakashi's turn to grow still now.

jaw hanging wide open, the man stares and stares at you - the you who just keeps smiling at him, all sweet and innocent, as if you did not just drop the bomb of a fucking love confession on his sick self - when a sudden hiccup escapes him and you burst out laughing.

"you're such a dumbass, sir," you wheeze, giving him a glass of water from the bedside table. kakashi accepts it silently, lips pressed into a thin line and eyes shooting daggers.

you continue with an unruffled grin, "don't worry, sir. i might not be the most ideal employee but i ain't that unideal to start a relationship with my boss- much less if he's the ceo. much less if it's you."

irked, kakashi opens his mouth to throw back a quip - only to be cut off by a doorbell before he can get a word out. giving him a wide grin and a wink, you hurry to get the door and the man slumps back in his bed, watching your receding figure.

yeah, you and him getting together can only cause problems, power imbalance the foremost amongst them, kakashi thinks as relief floods him from knowing your confession was a hoax – before you walk in, brows pinched together as you check whether you've received every medicine ordered or not – and an unbidden thought hurtles through the man's mind.

what might his life look like with you in it – not as his assistant but as his partner?

happy halloween! maybe naruto if ur still into it? loved the kakairu dynamic u wrote in invincible summer 🧡🎃

set in godnonsensical verse and a continuation of 1

Once they get back from Wave and all his brats have settled back in their respective homes, he does what he should have done in the first place.

Gather tactical information on his opponents.

(Just because they’re his genin and he sort of likes them isn’t relevant information.)

Iruka Umino is still awake and grading when Kakashi jumps in through his window. He's not expecting the smoke bomb to the face that opening the window triggers and he ends up falling off the window sill and onto the ground three stories below. He cushions the impact with chakra so it doesn't hurt, but still.

Iruka leans out the window, blinking down at him blearily. "Hatake? Aren't you out of village?"

"You taught Naruto about pranking," he accuses, hands on his hips.

He scratches the scar on across his nose. "I taught Naruto basic ninja skills, just like the rest of my students. How he applies those skills is his own business."

"Can I come in?" Kakashi asks, not really wanting to continue this conversation where anyone could overhear them.

Iruka's eyes narrow but he shrugs and steps away from the window. Kakashi decides to take that as an invitation and jumps back up, slightly more cautious as he steps inside the apartment.

“Tea?” he asks, already moving towards the stove.

“Sure,” he says. “What can you tell me about my kids?”

Iruka doesn’t so much as blink. “What do you want to know?”

He wants to know how well these little schemers have been scamming the village. But he can’t say that, so he has to go after this a little sidewise. “Our C rank turned into an A rank. They faced the Demon Brothers and the Demon of the Mist.”

He’s expecting an explosion – Iruka is notoriously overprotective of his students, and fond of Naruto on top of that – but instead he just frowns. The silence stretches on until it’s interrupted by the kettle. Iruka pours the water into the teapot, finally saying, “That must have been quite a surprise.”

Annoyingly ambiguous. He has to be doing it on purpose. “You’re not concerned?”

“You’re back and you’re here. That wouldn’t be the case if any of them were dead,” he answers, which is true. Damn.

“Why didn’t Sasuke graduate early?” Kakashi asks. “He’s certainly capable of it.”

All of them are capable of it, but if Iruka doesn’t already know then Kakashi isn’t going to reveal the secrets that his kids have gone to so much effort to maintain.

Iruka holds out a cup of steaming tea to him. “Children should be able to set their own pace. If I have a child that does not want to graduate early, then what I have is a child who is not ready to graduate early.”

They could just be talking about Sasuke. “What about Naruto?” he asks. “You passed him even though he failed the exam.”

Iruka’s face darkens, which isn’t the reaction Kakashi had expected from mentioning his favorite student. “A failing of childhood, especially a ninja one, is the belief that they’re responsible for things adults are meant to handle. When a child acts in accordance to that belief, the behavior and accompanying consequences must be corrected.”

He knows. He must have figured out that Naruto failed on purpose to draw out Mizuki, which means he knows that Naruto was capable of graduating all along.

“Any tips?” Kakashi sighs, holding the tea cup between is hands so the warmth can sink into his skin.

Iruka smiles. He doesn’t think Iruka has ever smiled at him before. It’s kinda nice. “Despite appearances, they’re good kids. You’ll be fine.”

He’s not so sure, but he appreciated the sentiment.

Hello! Im not the pimple request anon but can I ask for Neji and Shino too? I also go through periods where I get addicted to those videos, they are so satisfying 😂

Part 1

A/N: I know its been a long time but here it is. Part 1 (Kakashi, Itachi & Madara)

Naruto Characters & Reader Popping Their Pimples

Obito

Obito will be so surprised that you just don't let them be.

He'll be more excited than you to do all this. He will be asking a lot of questions and to your excitement, you will be happy to answer all of them.

Even if you make a mistake he'll take it down as a "don't" in the little mental list that he is creating.

The next time he'll do it will be when you'll be sitting right next to him. He'll want to show off to you how he paid attention to all of that and is basically an expert now.

But once you tell him that YOU like to do it he will let you know and may even let you in on a few tricks that he figured out himself!

Naruto

At first, he'll be excited about it as well. Just like Obito, he had no clue that this was a THING.

So he'll lie down, bring your all the things you'll need. But as soon as you apply rubbing alcohol to his pimple and it starts to sting he'll sit right up, "YOU NEVER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GONNA HURT."

You tried to laugh it off and said that this hurts because of the alcohol and only this step hurts.

The poor guy believed you but when you squeezed it, he was in the other corner of the room, "I think it is better if we let it be." with a "YOU LIED" face hahaha it'll be so funny that you won't be able to stop laughing.

Although your puppy face is all he needs to endure all the "Pain". Even though his training hurts like 100X times he'll be so sensitive which will be the funniest thing for you to watch.

Secretly you made a video that you showed to Sakura.

Sasuke

He'll be disgusted right from the start. First of all, he doesn't even touch it why would he let YOU touch it?

But after you gnaw at him for HOURS he will let you do it.

Still, be very disgusted the entire time.

Once it is all done and you asked him to take a look in the mirror he denied it and went on with the day to get rid of all the weird feelings that process gave him.

But when he'll see the mirror later he'll be a little impressed and might ask you to do it again depending on how bad it is. If it is too bad he'll NEVER in the world would let you touch it. Not because he is insecure or anything but he just hates the entire idea.

Neji

Just like Sasuke, he'll be against the whole idea.

But unline Sasuke he WILL BE insecure about it which is why he is insecure about it.

What if you came closer and realized how bad it actually is. Because let's be honest, Neji is the sort of guy who must be very hygienic and cautious about his looks even if he doesn't show it but I can imagine that he does a lot.

So the fact that you even noticed that he has a pimple made him a bit insecure.

But once you said, "What is wrong with it, you too have them and it is better to get rid of them rather than them leaving a mark later." He was a little convinced.

But was asking you to be very careful while doing everything.

Shino

He won't be against it but might feel a bit uncomfortable because after the whole process is done he cannot let his insects touch it.

He never stops them from anything but this was a bit odd for him.

He will be his quiet self as you start but just like Naruto, he'll jump out of his place as soon as it stings.

"You said it won't hurt." he'd say without sounding angry even though he is a bit caught off guard.

He'll still agree to do it since you want him to. But would complain a lot like a baby.

Heyyyy if you know any, could you rec any good kakairu fic? Haven't found any I liked, but I do love their dynamic!

Hi Anon ! Your ask sent me on a reading spree. It's still on-going, but I'm emerging long enough to give you some reading material, if you'll have it.

How to File Form 39-B by thehoyden - "The first time Iruka met Hatake Kakashi, he was still on some pretty good painkillers."

This one's a classic, and with good reason. Starts right after the first Mizuki incident and sees them get to know each other. Fantastic characterization and gives us a brilliant line about Iruka looking good in bed and out of his mind that has been haunting me for years it's so well set up.

An imperfect understanding by tucuxi - "After the Fourth Shinobi War, Kakashi asks a question Iruka really doesn't want to answer."

Haven't been able to find this on AO3 but it's so damn good. Kakashi hassles Iruka into considering applying for tokubetsu. There's training, old family memories, and a total failure at proper communication.

Dinner with the Special Assassination and Tactical Squad by pentapus - "Genma held up a photo pinched between his first and second fingers. Iruka’s smile froze on his face. “What are you doing with this?”"

Another classic (what counts as a classic? my say-so). So darn delightful to read. An incident from Iruka's childhood torments him all the way into adulthood--or is it a misunderstanding? This work has real pieces of ANBU shenanigans and extremely entertaining shinobi interactions, so read and find out!

Paper Release: Elegant Rising Cranes by megyal - "A Hokage's assistant is a very important post."

A lovely fic featuring a job interview, an administrative jutsu, a teen Iruka and insight as to why, really, there was no doubt as to who would get the job.

of riceballs and jello cups by 100demons - "Iruka has lunch with the Legendary Sharingan no Kakashi." "It was not not peaceful. In a way, it was rather like having lunch with a chair. A chair that read porn and was also capable of assassinating people with a dull spoon."

I am glad the author uses the above quote as their summary because I love it. A meeting in Konoha Hospital's mess hall leads to a shared meal and a tentative, promising acquaintanceship. Iruka's voice in there is nailed.

This seems, to me, like an ideal starter pack. You've got great and prolific fic writers in there, so that if you share my tastes you've still got plenty works left to browse.

I love your writing! You do so well writing Obito’s headspace! Hmmm…okay. If Obito is going through all this emotional turmoil, then what is going through Kakashi’s head? Is he feeling anything? Or is he forcing himself to stay apart from it?

Re: Obito in prison & Obito in denial

It's often hard for me to imagine Kakashi's headspace and especially his possible (romantic?) feelings and fears, so I had to ask for @cool-thymus 's opinion since we've been discussing this AU for a while xD

This AU has grown out of Anon asks & my doodles and jokes, so it's very random, probably illogical and not thought through really. If we imagine that the plot goes like this:

Obito somehow lives and is at first under house arrest (under Kakashi's direct control ofc xD) since his fate is not decided yet. Some court sessions might be going on. Konoha ppl and others start gossiping about Hokage's "kept man", “boy toy”, etc., and Obito dislikes that. Finally the court decides that he can either contrinue being under house arrest or go to prison, and Obito wishes for some alone time in prison, to brood and enjoy his denial in peace xD And ponder on some way he can be actually useful again. Being a lifer in prison or sitting in four walls like a home pet are really useless options. It's not like he was brought back to life to waste his time like that. So he's thinking if there's anything else he can offer to the world at his state. Now, Kakashi, and I shamelessly quote Ana here xD

If Kakashi already had Obito living with him, and then the drama happened, i think these ideas would plague Kakashi's mind: a) Obito is mad because my recklessness caused him more trouble b) he chose prison over my home.. omg am i so terrible? i must be... c) i don't know what to do now because it seems like every choice i make about him makes things worse d) HURT ( what do you mean he's not there when i come home???) e) What if HE gets hurt in prison?! I no longer can check up on him whenever i feel anxious or worried. SHIT!

At first he'd feel super insecure and hurt and upset. But since he'd already got a taste of living with Obito he'd want him back. And all the worrying would take its toll anyway. So he'd initiate the conversation of him coming back home. At first these kinda talks would be brief and one-sided, but he'd pinpoint smth that Obito's not telling him.

End quote xD Obito finally agrees to return if Kakashi finds something for him to do, something where Obito can apply at least some of his skills that don't rely on the chakra since his chakra is sealed. If Obito can serve some good cause again, help Kakashi or Naruto, or something, he would go back, and he hopes he'll just focus on it instead of certain feelings he can't accept in himself.

#don't look for too much logic here #xD #and thank you anon!!#kept man au #i'm glad you enjoyed my thoughts on Obito <333 #awww <33 #you're sweet

so… do you always take care of kakashi when he’s feeling a bit.. not well? I want some examples of what you do for him since you’re such a mother hen

Sweet Sage! I’ve told you little cretins before: mother henning doesn’t just apply to Hatake. I do it to everyone. Hatake just tends to be the one who needs it the most at any given time.

#I try to though #usually he’s not super receptive to visitors so he ignores me #or has me come in and just sit next to him as I work on paperwork or tip my senbon #sometimes he just wants to he held by another human who *understands* on some level what he’s struggling with #(although usually the dogs ask me for him in that case since he would never admit that aloud)#but that’s not something specific to Kakashi #none of that is #I do the same for Anko and Hayate and Raidou and Ram and Rat and Ebisu and Gai and Iruka and Asuma #any of my friends who just need someone else there in that moment #or I’m making extra food and dropping it off #leaving antidotes in mission packs #watering their plants and restocking their fridges when they’re on a mission #making sure they’re not coming home to a dusty and dead apartment #genma shiranui #shiranui genma #kakashi hatake #hatake kakashi #mother hen genma shiranui #anbu shenanigans #tokubetsu jonins shenanigans #anbu genma shiranui

I am having a Shikamaru brain rot phase these days, so how about some general relationship headcanons or general married hcs, sfw and nsfw mainly for Shikamaru, but if it isn’t too much trouble, Kakashi and Neji would be appreciated too 💙

Ah yes, haven’t we all? Thanks for the suggestion! <3

(I left out Neji for this one just because I don't feel like I would've done him justice. Forgive me!)

Also, I know I’ve been gone for so long, but please enjoy this lil headcanon moment. I’ve been trying to keep my head on straight here and I finally found the chance to post. I’m still alive, I promise!

Domestic Headcanons | Shikamaru & Kakashi | SFW & NSFW

- We all know Shikamaru is the certified king of leisure, and that certainly applies to his home life.

- Shika may act allergic to chores, but it doesn’t stop him from sliding in next to you and helping with the dishes after you’ve just made him a meal that absolutely rocked his world.

- He is your biggest fan in all aspects, and that’s especially true with your cooking. He could reach heaven with every bite, even if you cook something he’s unsure of.

- Shikamaru isn’t one for PDA, but in the comfort of your home? He finds any excuse to touch you. He’ll keep an arm secured around your shoulders or waist while you’re lazing on the couch and watching a movie, or he’ll make sure to play with your hair absently while you talk about your day.

- There’s no shortage of mindless brushes and light contact when he’s nearby, some more intentional than others. When his arm slips to the small of your back and his lips are inches away from your ear, you know exactly how Shika is feeling, and exactly what he wants.

- He prefers to be more suggestive than blunt, often throwing those lustful looks your way, or brushing against each sensitive place on your body that he’s well aware of. He knows his antics have worked the moment you squirm closer to him for more, needy for his touch.

- Shikamaru may seem put together and self assured on the outside, but the moment your fingers run through his hair, he’s an absolute goner. He crumbles immediately and bends at your will. This applies in both innocent and suggestive instances.

- Shika would never let anyone else know, but he’s an absolute sucker for when you play with his hair. Whether you’ve released it from its ponytail after a long day, or if its freshly washed after a shower, your gentle petting is to die for. He melts under your touch and even whines if you stop too soon.

- The moment your fingers tighten within his dark tresses while he goes down on you, his hum of pleasure courses through your entire body, to both of your delight.

- There’s no limit of oral-giving in your small household. In fact, it’s Shikamaru’s favourite for both giving and receiving. If you sink to your knees after a long, frustrating day, you won’t hear a single complaint from him.

- You and Shikamaru are infamous switches. You both find pleasure in being dominant or submissive, and anything goes. His favourite position is when you ride him, since he gets to take in the show and feel every skilled movement of yours.

- Shikamaru loves having you completely naked, whether you’re under or on top of him, so he can take in your figure as if it’s the first time, every time. He can’t get enough of you.

- He probably calls you Sweetheart or Babe.

- When Shikamaru is exhausted or upset, he becomes the biggest man baby and demands your unwavering attention. He pretends to hate when you tease him about it, but Shika secretly loves how you dottle over him, and he knows you love it too.

- “Feeling brave enough to take it all down your throat tonight, huh Babe?” “I bet you’ve been dreaming about me fucking you senseless all day.” “That’s my good pet.”

- Kakashi puts on a mask to deflect anything and everything in front of others, but for you, he shows you every side of him. The good, the bad, and of course the aloofness—you’ve seen it all.

- Being surprisingly domestic, Kakashi is a definite home-body. He loves being wrapped up in the comfort of you and your shared space, where he can be completely himself and face no judgement.

- Kakashi was touch-starved all his life, and after meeting you, he has never known anything less than pure, addictive bliss just from having you near.

- Every stray touch and lingering affection has its affect on him, and Kakashi will quite literally turn to mush. Something as small as your arm grazing his back while moving past him to grab something, Kakashi hums in delight.

- You are a drug to him in every sense of the word, and he will never have enough of you.

- The tough, resilient Kakashi everyone else knows needs time to be coddled and listened to while at home. You are a safe place for him, and Kakashi will always appreciate you for it.

- One of his favourite things to do is sit in your company while you both do your own thing. Even better, he loves sitting on the couch with your head in his lap, both reading in the peaceful silence. It’s like combining his two loves at once.

- While it’s true he’s usually very soft around you, Kakashi is no stranger to letting his more aggressive, dominant side come out in the bedroom. The first time he tossed you over with a rough hand to take you from behind, you were in complete shock, yet it quickly fizzled into pure pleasure the moment he entered you again.

- Kakashi was by no means an expert when you two first got together, but after learning what pushed you closer to your climax, he has become a master at drawing those ground-breaking, sheet-clenching orgasms out of you. He has a raw skill you can’t deny, whether it’s the way he sucks on your clit, how his fingers move inside you, or how he finds those perfect angles with his cock, Kakashi knows exactly what he’s doing.

- Kakashi isn’t opposed to you taking control, since he does enjoy the change from time to time, but he would rather work on making you cum before he finds his own bliss.

- Kakashi is a major giver when it comes to sex. He knows it can be difficult for you to finish, so he does everything he can to make that happen. He’s only selfish in his determination to find out just how many times he can make you cum.

- It’s a huge turn-on for him when you ride him with only one of his oversized shirts on, especially when it’s just tight enough to show every curve of your breasts.

- Tracing your skin while you come down from your high is Kakashi’s favourite part of it all. When your skin is still warm to the touch, the last few tremors are coursing through your body, and you only have enough strength left to lay out across his chest. That’s when Kakashi feels the most at home and at peace with the person of his dreams.

- He will probably call you My Love, Darling, or Doll.

- “Did I get you this worked up, hm?” “If the neighbours don’t know my name already, they will soon.” “Be a good girl for me and cum, will you?”

Madara's Best Friend

If Madara and the others in this post lived under different circumstances, I think it makes more sense for Madara to be ‘best friends’ with either Tobirama or Gai. They are more compatible with Madara than Hashirama. Not considering Izuna as Madara’s best friend since that wouldn’t be fair. Izuna probably knew Madara better than Madara knew his own hand. No I don’t ship Mads with Hashirama, Tobirama, Izuna, or Gai, but seeing wholesome MadaGai comics made me think how this entire time, those artists had a point.

Hashirama

Others have discussed this extensively, but while Hashirama is the only one who can fight Madara as an equal, he wasn’t a good friend to Madara. Beyond the initial founding of Konoha, which stemmed from a genuine desire for peace and wanting a better future for young ones, Hashirama was selfish in his motivations for why he wanted Madara to stay in Konoha. It was always about the village for Hashi. There was never genuine reflection about Madara’s concerns or consideration for his well-being, even when Madara was basically screaming for help in his own way. Hashirama was also not even close to Madara on an intellectual level. Not that I think Hashirama was the total airhead he liked to present himself as. On the contrary, I think he was often quite manipulative when he pretended to be dumber than he is. But whereas Madara had the capacity to foresee far into the future the issues about shinobi villages due to their social structures, Hashirama was set on his ideals of what the village must be like and unwilling to stand up to defend his ‘friend’ Madara. And then he killed his best friend over his flawed beliefs once Madara no longer played by his rules.

I think Hashirama would only be suitable for being Madara’s true sparring partner/rival, even if Gai would exuberantly declare himself ‘rival’ anyways.

Tobirama

This only applies if Tobirama left Izuna alone.

Tobirama tried to make the village work. And to his credit, the village worked. It survived well into the future thanks to social structures and policies enacted by Tobirama. Tobirama was the one who propped up the village and ensured it ran smoothly after its founding, not so much Hashirama, even if Tobi’s ways eventually lent themselves to the dark underbelly of Konoha that Madara foresaw. The intentions were noble, even if his methods flawed.

If neither Tobi nor Hashi killed Izuna, Izuna would likely have survived until much later. If Madara was somehow convinced for a truce and to build a village anyways, Izuna at his side would be a much more level-headed negotiator than Madara and would ensure the treaty was fair to the other founding clan, the Uchiha, too. If the canon events had been even slightly different, I believe there was ample opportunity for the Uchiha to thrive as well. The entire story could have been so different.

Despite the abundant past misgivings between the Uchiha and Senju, I believe Madara and Tobirama could be friends who respect each other if Izuna lived and they were all working on Konoha together. They are much closer intellectually, quieter and more introspective, would be able to bounce more realistic ideas off each other, maybe invent new jutsu together. Tobirama was pragmatic and logical, which could be a better foil to Madara than Hashirama, who seemed to often drive Madara to extreme emotion.

Gai

This lovely cinnamon bun is among the purest characters in Naruto. There isn’t a single vile or dark thing about him. Even his teeth are shiny. He would be so good for Madara and his mental wellbeing, like he was for Kakashi. Gai tried to hang out with Kakashi when the Copy Cat was traumatized by multiple deaths so he wouldn’t be alone, protected Kakashi when he was distracted on a mission and almost got killed, and was just there when needed. Even when he was pushed away repeatedly, Gai never gave up on his friend.

If Madara had a real friend in Gai like Kakashi did, one who will be present and support his buddies through anything, who knows? I’m sure the grouchy hermit Madara would resist and try to push this overbearing green beast away too, but that wouldn’t stop Gai’s insistence. The ridiculousness to ensue would have been a balm for Madara’s tortured soul. Both men’s dedication to the future generations and physical training are also bonding points. With someone who still cared for him, maybe Madara wouldn’t have gone down the path he did so readily? Madara was at a point of total isolation without Izuna and the support of his clan, an untrusted outcast left with no one who still wanted his protection when he abandoned Konoha. At that point, he didn’t have anyone to look out for his back. He was also abandoned. It’s really tragic.

Have a picture of happy Madara. It’s uncommon.
