♢ɴᴀʀᴜᴛᴏ ᴜᴢᴜᴍᴀᴋɪ♢
✿oh my baby boy
❀first off: angel. 100%.
✿because u are his angel u feel me
❀he can't go a day without telling u
✿then also just the basic baby
❀but mostly when he wants something from u or he's apologising for dumb stuff he's done
✿puppy eyes and all
❀and also during sexy time
✿it's his most used name for u there
✿fight me on this
❀big on his own self made nicknames for u
✿for instance: u fell down the stairs once?
❀"hey, stairs, how you doin'"
✿and just silly ones like: boo, pookie, apple of my eye
❀he's weird like that c'mon we been knew
Tumblr media
♢ꜱᴀꜱᴜᴋᴇ ᴜᴄʜɪʜᴀ♢
✿now this guy is a wild card
❀he'd prefer ur name through & through
✿but he'd slip in a casual babe sometimes which makes ur knees weak obviously
❀because he barely ever calls u that
✿if ur married he'd only call you his wife
❀doesn't even let you answer questions on your own sometimes just so he can hit them with
❀"well, MY WIFE, thinks you suck ass, so.."
✿during sex he can be quiet mean 
❀I DONT THINK in the derogatory way but more in a teasing way
✿"c'mon, sweetheart, look at me."
❀when ur just about to black out??
✿but like i said 
❀not big on pet names but he'll use them more often if he knows u enjoy it <3
Tumblr media
♢ꜱʜɪᴋᴀᴍᴀʀᴜ ɴᴀʀᴀ♢
✿pretty
❀just pretty bro.
✿not ALL THE TIME, especially not in public as i don't think he's big on PDA
❀but in the comfort of ur own 4 walls? definitely
✿now don't HATE ME for this but,,,
❀woman. and brat.
✿but only in petty situations, like when ur scolding his lazy ass and he hits u with a "go easy on me, woman, i just woke up."
❀or u've been going on his nerves while he's working
✿,,i'm busy, brat.''
❀in bed tho???
✿love or doll
❀i'm almost CERTAIN.
✿like,, can u imagine?? in his dumb fucking charming voice ???
❀PFFF i'm on my knees 
Tumblr media
♢ᴋɪʙᴀ ɪɴᴜᴢᴜᴋᴀ♢
✿now this fucker
❀teasing names through & through
✿ur shorter than him? 
❀"hey, shortie, need help?"
✿ur taller than him?
❀"hey, giant, how's the weather up there?"
✿he's a DICK ok (affectionately ofc)
❀but he can be sweet too i promise
✿he's having fun with calling u bunny during sex or simply baby 
❀also ???? "okay, boss." when he's been annoying u all day and u finally snap at him?
✿he's a menace with nicknames i'm telling u
Tumblr media
♢ꜱʜɪɴᴏ ᴀʙᴜʀᴀᴍᴇ♢
✿you probably guessed it and bully me if you'd like but,,,
❀bug or lovebug
✿come oooon he loves his bugs AND he loves you?? it fits PERFECTLY
❀not one to do it infront of other people either but in your private space he just wouldn't stop calling you one of these
✿i also see him using the regular honey but the abbreviation so hun because it's short and sweet and he doesn't like those long ass names
❀apologies if ur name is long LMAO mine is too tho
✿takes the hun into the bedroom but prefers a gentle love while having sex
❀shino's not a sweet talker in my mind, but the pet names make up for it FOSHOU
✿ALSO big brain idea i just had:
❀i think shino can't fully express his emotions verbally so before going on missions he definitely writes u letters and that's where he's blooming
✿''u keep me going everyday, sunshine.''
❀and it doesn't even matter if you have a bubbly personality or not
✿UGH lovesick fr
Tumblr media
♢ɴᴇᴊɪ ʜʏᴜɢᴀ♢
❀this pretty princess doesn't even know ur name when ur alone with him 
✿ESPECIALLY when ur texting
❀sweetheart, love & darling
✿he'd make u fall in love over again whenever he calls u one of those i'm just saying
❀because he's always so sincere when he's talking to u it drives me crazy just thinking about it 
✿during sexy time too, he would NEVER
❀& i will die on this hill 
✿NEVER use any degrading names for u
❀ur his baby don't make him do that
✿even when ur fighting, he'd always address u in such a kind way i'm actually going insane
❀"have you had dinner yet, dear?"
✿ sedate me pls
Tumblr media
♢ɪʀᴜᴋᴀ ᴜᴍɪɴᴏ♢
✿AAA this guy
❀soo,, like father like son,,, angel
✿u can't change my mind
❀being the kind hearted person he is, it just fits u can't tell me off
✿but i will also say he'd use some funny ones in private because we all know he's just a silly lil guy deep inside
❀i'm thinking toots & peach
✿especially when greeting u !! like ''ey, toots, how's it going?''
❀during sex he will be quiet awkward at the start of ur relationship, settling in angel as he's most familiar with it at first
✿but after some time he'd pull a babydoll or gorgeous on u
❀i mean,,, i'd cry but idk about y'all
✿oVERALL he loves using pet names and wouldn't be opossed to u calling him some sweet ones as well <3
❀call him handsome and he'll go through the roof
Tumblr media
♢ᴋᴀᴋᴀꜱʜɪ ʜᴀᴛᴀᴋᴇ♢
✿AHEM
❀so this man,,
✿at the start of ur relationship he's such a shy lil bean so he'll only use your first name
❀but once he's been with you long enough he gets so so comfortable
✿starts of with the regular baby because u are his baby aight.
❀his most frequently used one too i'd say
✿but then he'd go like 
❀"hey, beautiful." "y'alright, sweetheart?"
✿and idk about u but i'd faint
❀HE KNOWS ABOUT HIS AFFECT ON U TOO
✿uses it against u during sex SO OFTEN
❀grunting a "there y'go, darling." into your ear with a sly smirk on his lips 
✿i'm (s)creaming
❀but he's a very private person so don't expect too much of that in public !!
✿a side from a "yes, ma'am" when u tell him not to die on a mission <3
Tumblr media
a/n: i hope this doesn't SUCK ahemm,,, and i'll see you beans next time bye bye x

Casanova (Cheating!Sasuke x AFAB!Reader) - iii
Tumblr media
CW: MINIMAL EDITING !!! mean!sasuke x AFAB!reader, reader pregnancy, homewrecker!reader, deadbeat dad activities, cheating, piv (unprotected), creampie, spitting/spit play, oral (f receiving) degradation (loser, whore), zero after care, breeder!sasuke, generally scummy behavior, lmk if i missed anything. short chapter lol
18+ MDNI !!!!!!!!!!
Sasuke knew he hated himself, like seriously- hated himself. He hated himself because everytime he came home he was reminded that he destroyed the family he loved so much just because he wanted to fuck you. Sure, the first time was an accident, if anything he helped you the first time! At least that’s what he told himself to be able to sleep at night. But the second time? The second time was pure lust, nothing but dirty lust that had taken over him and made him want to fuck you.
What didn’t help was how he heard people talk about you. How they would gossip about how nice your newly found motherhood was, and how it was sweet you’d decided to have your own little family. He hated that whenever people would ask who the father was you’d dodge the question, a flustered blush overwhelming your face as you clutched your chest.
But probably what Sasuke hated most of all was how the days went by and your belly got bigger, he got hard at just the sight of you. Your skin was always glowing, your breasts bigger, and of course your stomach bigger. He would think about how hot it was that he had gotten you pregnant, showing off how you were his, regardless as to how nobody knew it. In fact, the ignorance of how it was him got him unbelievably horny.
Whenever he would fuck his wife, he would put a hand flat on her stomach, feel the way his cock would bulge underneath, and imagine it was you while caressing where your child would’ve been. Sakura had no idea of course, she was just happy to get dicked down after a strange dry spell. Sasuke silently refused to fuck her, out of shame and pity mostly, but after getting hot and bothered by just the sight of you for weeks mixed with the feeling of sexual frustration he had to let himself go.
After the deed was done, his post but clarity kicked in like no tomorrow.
What am I going to do? How fucked am I?
He thought as he looked to his side and watched as his wife would catch her breath, post orgasm. He shook his head, pulling the covers up to his chest to cover himself up. Sakura rolled over, putting a hand to his covered chest.
“We haven’t done that in quite a while, huh?” she softly laughed, still breathing in and out.
“Yeah,” he smiled, looking away quickly. Sakura furrowed her brow.
“Are you okay?” She asked, sitting up and closer to him.
“Um, yeah… why?”
“It’s just… you’ve been so distant lately, and that’s saying something.” She nudged him and Sasuke made a halfhearted laugh. “You’ve been like this for weeks… if I didn’t know any better I’d assume something…” Sasuke tensed up.
“Assume what?” He bit back, jaw clenched. Sakura was taken aback.
“All I’m saying is ever since that genjutsu user got away you’ve been acting strange. You don’t feel bad about her getting away, do you?” Sakura asked, tone softer.
“She didn’t get away…” Sasuke muttered.
“Huh?”
“Oh, um… Her. Yeah, that’s what it is.” Sasuke replied, rolling over and facing away from Sakura. She giggled.
“Oh Sasuke, you’ve always been so hard on yourself.”
“For good reason…” He sighed, once again the feelings of shame and guilt returned.
“There you go again. Why don’t we just change the subject, hmm?” Sakura asked. Sasuke wanted to vomit when she said your name.
“W-what about her?” he felt the bile building up in his throat.
“Well you know how she’s pregnant right?”
“Yes, yes, of course I know she’s pregnant! What about her?”
“Well she’s coming into the hospital tomorrow for an ultrasound! When I found out I just knew I had to be her doctor so I’m going to be giving her her screening!” Sakura chirped happily.
Without a word Sasuke got out of bed, not facing her the whole time.
“Sorry, I just realized I have to go to the bathroom,” he said, walking out the door.
“Oh okay, we’ll can you bring me a glass of water when you come back?” Sakura called as he was already walking down the hall.
“Yup.” He responded. He locked himself in the bathroom and turned the fan on, then vomited into the toilet before tangling his fingers into his hair and silently crying as his heart beat out his chest.
___________________
You had no idea of course, so nobody could imagine the slurry of emotions erupting inside of you when Sakura walked into the room, clipboard in hand for your check up. You laid back on the examination bed, heart beating out of your chest as she made conversation with you about your baby.
“You can tell me, c’mon! Who’s the father,” she asked, pouring jelly on your belly and spreading it around.
“I can’t…” you frowned.
“Why not?” She asked, turning to the screen and flipping it on.
“It’s cause,” you felt sweat bead on your forehead, you felt sick and had no idea how to tell her this was her husbands child. “It’s cause I had a sperm donor.”
Sakura spun around in the seat and looked at you.
“No kidding! So you’ve really wanted to be a mom that badly?” She asked, moving the small device around on your stomach.
“Um… Yeah I guess so,” you mustered a laugh.
“Didn’t they tell you who the donor was? Y’know if I check your appointment date I can see who’s they gave you-“
“Oh no that’s fine! I didn’t have a preference…” You lied as you both shifted your attention to the screen. “Just wanted it to be healthy…”
Soon enough the fetus was on screen and Sakura gasped with delight.
“Well it seems healthy to me!”
“Um, do you know it’s gender yet?” You asked, shamefully curious.
“Well it’s too early to tell, that’s also why it’s so small.” She pressed a little harder against you, and shifted it around. She pointed at the top of the oblong shape. “There’s the head.”
You smiled as you looked at it, then your face dropped. You felt tears roll down your face and soon enough you were crying. Sakura turned her head to see you.
“I’m sorry…” you cried, wiping your face.
“No no! It’s okay, plenty of mothers cry when they get their ultrasound done it’s completely fine! It’s also all those hormones don’t worry.” She sat closer to you and gave you a small hug, running her hand up and down your back.
You wished she had punched you, kicked you, or even yelled at you, maybe then you wouldn’t feel so bad about being her husbands mistress and baby mother. But instead she was coddling you and telling you it would be alright, which it certainly would not be. Eventually you stopped crying and Sakura grabbed her clipboard and started writing down on it. She tore a piece of paper out and handed it to you.
“It’s a list of some prenatal vitamins, they’ll make you feel better especially when you start to get further into your first trimester.” She was too sweet, and you were so shitty.
_______________________
That night after dinner you heard a knock at your door and when you saw who it was you wished you slammed it immediately.
“Can I come in?” Sasuke asked, looking around nervously.
“Get the fuck in here.” You muttered. He shut the door behind him and locked it. You crossed your arms angrily.
“You know it’s already fucked up as it is that I have to raise your child alone, and now i’m reminded that your wife literally exists. You know she gave my ultrasound?” Sasuke cringed. “Yeah. Didn’t think about giving me a heads up?”
“I can explain-“
“Oh! So you did know?”
“Listen-“
“What the fuck…” you cried, sobbing into your hands and turning away from him.
“So emotional…”
“Fuck you, loser.”
“If i didn’t know your hormones were out of control right now I’d remind you that out of the both of us the real loser might be the one carrying the married man’s child.” Sasuke snapped. You growled low, then with an open palm struck him across the face. He winced, a soft grunt escaping his lips.
“I should kill this damn fetus that you find so fascinating. I hate it. I hate you. Everyday i’m reminded there’s something disgusting growing inside of me that you put there, it makes me sick.” You cried again, ugly sobs ripping their way out through your lungs to bounce around the walls of your home.
“It’s not my fault you were acting like such a whore that day.” Sasuke frowned, his hand running over the red skin on his face.
“If you had killed that genjutsu user we wouldn’t be here right now.”
“You got in the way.” You scoffed.
“Always so pretentious, aren’t you?”
“It’s the truth. I could’ve handled it but no, you just needed to show off.”
“Show off? You’re one to talk. You’re practically showing off to the whole village how you got me knocked up everywhere I go.” Your brows furrowed. Sasuke was silent.
He knew you were right. Maybe he knew it was the pot calling the kettle black, but he was backed into a corner. Something about the word ‘loser’ struck a nerve with him. A deadbeat dad with a distant wife- no fault of anyone else but him. Did he somehow think starting a family with you would be some sort of do-over? something to rid him of his guilt?
When he looked at his wife he saw a beautiful woman, strong and accomplished. But how can you have any room for attraction to someone you have so much guilt for. Guilt for his old days of vengeance and hate, guilt for his job that kept him away from home for years.
But you? You were a fresh face. Beaming with optimism and a subtle hint of indifference that he knew he could change. You had something Sasuke couldn’t quite identify, simply being around you now felt dangerous. Sure, it could be, but it was more than the thrill of danger. You were his whim, his drug, the fever he couldn’t sweat out and being inside of you was the only place he wanted to be every hour of everyday. Maybe you have animosity for him now but could this family save you? more importantly- could it save Sasuke?
You took a deep breath in, shakily letting it go.
“You need to leave…” You were about to walk for the door when a possessive hand grasped your wrist. You froze.
“You don’t understand, I need you.” His voice was almost a whisper, the low growl that it almost produced set a shiver up your spine.
“I…” you started, face flush from his sudden shift. “Please, I can’t deal with you right now. You’re just too confusing.”
Sasuke gripped you brash and pinned you against the nearest wall, mounted frames ratted when you made contact. You gasped, your free hand coming to rest at your belly.
“Sasuke! You can’t just do that! It’s not good for the baby, knock it off,” your face burned hot. Sasuke raised a brow, a small smirk pricking up.
“Oh? So you do care about the well being of our baby, huh?” Bastard. He had you.
He leaned down partially, teasing you with a warm breath against your lips. You fought yourself to not close the gap, your mind racing and your face flaming. Soon enough you gave into your impulses and kissed him passionately.
You both let out an exhale, his soft lips making yours wet with his saliva. He opened his mouth to lick your sweet lips, tracing how plush they were only for his tongue to slip past them and feel along your own. His tongue ran along the smooth underside of yours, then swirled back up to trace your rougher taste buds, leaving his own flavor behind.
He grunted when you tangled your fingers in his hair, digging deep towards his roots and gently yanking when he pressed a growing erection into your swollen core. You wrapped your legs around his waist, your arms around his neck and he carried you to your bedroom, where he laid you down onto the mattress as soon as you both arrived.
Sasuke ripped off your pajama pants then ducked down to the valleys of your flesh, kissing in between your thighs to suck deep hickeys into. You moaned and writhed under his chin, then he made haste to your sensitive pussy, licking hard against your clit. You let out a harsh and untamed cry of pleasure, it almost sounded like you were in pain. But the way you bucked your hips into his mouth and dig deeper into his scalp proved otherwise.
You didn’t realize your body was craving Sasuke for so long until mere seconds later you were cumming on his tongue, hoarse moans and soft whimpers escaped your lips without warning as your juices filled his mouth. Sasuke palmed himself when you flooded into him, he swallowed every drop you could’ve given him and when you were done with your orgasm he didn’t stop devouring you until you were shaking like a leaf.
Sasuke roughly grabbed one of your tits as he stood up, looking down at you through narrowed eyes, you quivered under his gaze.
“Off.” He commanded. You took off your tank top and threw it across the room. Sasuke swooped down to caress your tits in his hand and mouth, biting harshly on your sensitive nipples. You clenched around nothing when he did so, thighs clamping shut around his torso.
He quickly came off of you and he undid his pants, you watched as the waistband of his pants and boxers fell to the floor, his large cock standing straight up against his chiseled abdomen.
There were no words spoken between the two of you. No promises of love, no claims of possession, no gifts exchanged or fancy jewelry to court with, no battles won to impress with, and no acts of tenderness. Only one single thing was present and that was the absolute orgasmic pleasure that came from being impaled be Sasukes cock over and over and over again. He got off watching you bounce from underneath him, your tits giggling every time he bottomed out and his balls smacked against your ass.
Sasuke bit his lip to stutter his moans when you started shaking again. Your climax looked almost like a seizure, more whimpers and cries were let out as you shook, only to be met with more tremors the longer he fucked you, continuing to deliver what practically seemed like pleasure epilepsies.
“F-Fuck! Sasuke, you’re so good…” you mewled, toes curling when he hit that good spot deep inside of you.
His hips didn’t slow their violent pace, his thumb traced along your clit, rubbing tight circles against it with he pad of his finger.
“Yeah…” he grunted, pace getting rougher. “You like this dick, huh? You like it so much you got pregnant from it, little whore.” He smirked, teasing you with long, deep strokes that slowed down to an agonizing pace.
You breathed heavily, heart pounding so loud and fast you were scared you might have a heart attack.
“Fuck- yeah…” you blubbered, hips twisting when you felt him bottom out.
“You’re gonna raise my fucking baby, aren’t you?” Sasuke murmured, his pace intensified and yet again you were crying out again.
“Y-yeah,” you whimpered, legs shaking as Sasuke obliterated your leaky pussy.
“That’s right… you’d do anything for this uchiha dick, wouldn’t you?” He asked with a smirk as he jackhammered you raw with his thick rod.
You neared your orgasm, cunt clenching tight and making Sasuke grunt as he continued to rail you. You nodded, eyes rolling back as your eye brows furrowed. Your mouth fell open and Sasuke took this opportunity to spit into it, you shocked yourself when you swallowed it. Sasuke had a feeling you would but watching you do it made him go crazy and his pace inside of you was excruciating.
“Say you want our baby, say you’re keeping it,” Precum was spilling out of you, it was fully mixed in with your arousal and your ass was drenched from your fluids dripping down.
“I want our baby, Sasuke- I… I’m keeping it I promise…” your face burned, your body surprised you would utter such words to the man who ruined you.
It didn’t matter for much longer since you came hard on his cock, appendages flying all around him to get him even closer to you. He complied and pressed himself deeper into you, almost as if he were fusing into you. his cock twitched when he filled you up with hot cum and you loved hearing his soft moans. you wrapped your legs around him to keep him right inside of you and if it wasn’t for the fact it was sasuke who had led you to this misfortunate spot, you wouldn’t be upset by the state you’re in now.
Eventually Sasuke got off of you and clothed himself. His pants covering his sex, almost as if in a way he was ashamed of where it had got him. Hiding it away from the mess he had made.
“I’ve got to go, I’ve already overstayed my welcome.” Sasuke sighed, he turned around and looked back over his shoulder at you. “Goodnight.”
You were still naked and drenched in sweat and sperm, juices leaking down your legs. It was like he injected you with his own venomous guilt for living, having desire, having your own craving for freedom through your sex. That freedom was gone now, only one of you had to deal with this fuck up. Now this venom was killing you. It was as if the most pleasurable knife was jabbed inside of you and you were bleeding out your emotions.
The sheets were all messed up besides you and as you watched him go you were glad he didn’t offer to tuck you in. A good man would’ve offered, a better would’ve tucked you in without even asking. In a way, it was confirmation he was a shitty lover and maybe even a worse partner. It made you feel better he wouldn’t do such an intimate thing for the fling like this when he has a wife and child at home.
Still shaken, you managed to sit upright, angry and defeated. You knew your body and mouth betrayed you of the freedom you wanted so badly. They reinforced his belief that you wanted to keep this anchor of a weight that was Sasuke Uchihas child. You were furious your body betrayed you and led you down a path of self destruction. You felt cheated, then felt worse when you realized that the only person who should really feel that way was Sakura.
AN: i have been LAGGING !!! i am so sorry gang i'm trying to be better with posting like how i used to but somethings been up idk what is is or when it'll be over but i think i just gotta womp womp my way through it. anyways i'm sorry if i forgot to add you to the tag list just leave a comment and i'll add you to the next part.

3 Steps Behind
Summary: Omega!Shikamaru x GN!Alpha!Reader an omegaverse fic where Shikamaru and his obsession have the right people but the wrong timing. Passing by one another only to meet again.
@animeomegas [she created the concept of Nara's and their obsessions and I love her writing]
Word count: 3.9K
Warnings: NSFW, Omegaverse, Canon typical violence, Pining, The School Sex Talk
"Alright settle down class, that means you Naruto. Today we have a new student, a young prodigy who was moved up due to their skills." Iruka sensei introduces me to the class. I was only two years younger then the class and my height showed that. The eyes on me allowed me to fit into the mind space of a prodigy with ease, these were not my peers but more people I would prove myself better then. "They may be younger than you but don't let that discourage you from seeing them at the same level as you." Iruka sensi finishes as he points out a seat in the front for me to sit.
Shikamaru who wasn't paying attention before only now takes notice of their new classmate. 'A prodigy? They aren't from any clan I recognize…' He thinks to himself before becoming bored of pondering the newcomer, though he will admit to himself that something was interesting about them…
At lunch two girls, an alpha and an omega are quick to jump me, flinging many questions at me. "What techniques are you good at?" The blonde omega asks while the pink haired alpha asks "What's your alignment?" at the same time.
"I'm good at lots of stuff but I want to specialize in stealth techniques, and I don't know my alignment because I haven't grown into it yet…" I explained, caught off guard by the pink haired alphas question.
“Oh wow really? And they still let you join our class?" The blonde omega says more to herself than me, before being interrupted by the pink haired alpha.
"Anyways, I'm Sakura and that's Ino." Sakura introduces them both, as is expected of an alpha.
"Yeah, we'll be your cool big kid friends." Ino says with flair, making me smile. These two would be fun to hang out with.
"Alright."
Soon the two girls showed me their favourite pasttime: stalking this guy named Sasuke.
"We know you may not understand, pup, but Sasuke is the hottest, cutest alpha/omega." They say at the same time, "How many times do we have to go over this billboard brow?!" Ino yells. It seems she was on team Alpha while Sakura was on team Omega. "What do you mean, Ino-pig?! He literally smells like an omega!" Then they both turn toward you. "What do you think?!" They yell in sync.
"I can't tell; it must be because I'm still basically a pup and don't even have my own scent." I lie; I had a guess, but it was not worth the two fighting.
"Guess we'll never know." Ino laments as all her energy seems to leave her as she slumps down. I'm rather surprised their yelling didn't attract any attention.
"We'll find out, and I know how." Sakura says, with a sly grin and a look in her eyes spelling trouble. She goes over her plans for tomorrow, and we return to finish the rest of class.
Going home from eventful days is always interesting. Iruka Sensi made me stay later to talk about my progress thus far; apparently, it was possible for me to graduate before my new class already. Though that must be more because of the war than anything. I passed by a blonde omega boy on the swing; he seems lonely. Oh well, I have my own things to deal with.
Unbeknownst to me, when I walk into class the next day, it seems Sakura and Ino have talked about me. Their eyes still linger on me as I walk in. I make eye contact with a neutral face well for the most part till I lock eyes with a boy whom Ino seemed to be lecturing. He's Nara, right? I mean, they are a pretty well known clan, unlike me. A natural-born and made prodigy. and not one of luck like me. In his eyes, the weakest embers of challenge and of being upstaged burn, but for the most part he seems disinterested. I was going to take my seat from last class when Sakura calls me over to sit with her and what I assume to be Ino, then class begins.School is easy; it always has been. Sakura agrees with me to a degree, while Ino frowns at us. Iruka Sensi is a good teacher despite the lonely blonde omega boy's outbursts.
"After lunch, we'll be sparring." Iruka Sensi announces dismissing us. This sadly fits perfectly into Sakura's plan from yesterday. I really did not want to be part of it.
"This works perfect! Don't you think, Pup?" Sakura asks excitedly, and I sigh as Ino squeals in delight. "So you're gonna fight Sasuke, and hopefully you're good enough to get him sweating, at which point we'll get his scent and know for sure." Sakura says as I nod along, "It's no use telling them that the old myth of scents is false.
Now face to face with the popular boy known as Sasuke, I quickly pick up two things, or rather confirm them: he's an Uchiha, and he is pissed at the idea that I may be better than him. Better not mess around with this. The fight begins. We're only allowed to use taijustu in the interest of being safe and sharpening that skill. Blows are exchanged quickly. Sasuke is no doubt stronger than me, and maybe even faster too. But he leaves holes in his defense and has poor weight distribution as he kicks. So after long enough for some sweat to show on both of us, I finally took him down by grabbing his kick and flipping him to the ground.
Everyone seems rather stunned for a second, all except for him the Nara, who's barely paying attention; actually, he's asleep? Iruka Sensi is the first to break away from his shock, declaring me the winner as Sasuke stands up angrily, staring at me with a frown. "Beginners luck." He says this while walking away, where some other girls are asking him if he's alright. While Ino and Sakura are all but snorting the air, trying to get his scent. Gross.
"Happy?" I ask the two, who both grin, having figured it out. "He definitely smells like an alpha/omega!" They yell once again conflicted while I facepalmed.
Class falls into the same category. Ino and Sakura continue to refer to me as Pup and drag me into their ridiculous plots against Sasuke. While Iruka sensi throws everything he can at me in terms of education. Well all except the Nara boy, when I asked Sensi why I hadn't spared him he simply stated he couldn't force Shikamaru to do it. Shikamaru was his name then? When he did have to participate, I found myself watching him from a distance for some reason; something about him made me nervous and shy. And, to my luck my two friends were quick to notice, and who were they to let the pup they took in suffer in a one-sided crush?
What I had assumed to be a normal lunch was quickly proven wrong as I watched Sakura and Ino all but push me towards Shikamaru; he seemed just as confused as me by the look on his face. His scent is nice; it smells like the plants that have suffered a terrible drought only to now be granted a cooling rain after months of blistering heat and suffering. Though under that is the smell of a carefully brewed white tea delicate yet potent. I feel my face heat. I was never one to pay much attention to the others scents, but with Shikamaru, it was different.
"What are you doing, Ino?" He asks, rubbing the back of his neck idly.
"Oh, I just wanted to make sure you met the Pup; you know, show them you're not some cool, quiet kid." Ino taunts, making Sakura laugh while I fumble for my own words.
"Hello." What the hell was that? I berate myself mentally.
"Yeah, hi. I'm gonna go now." And with that, Shikamaru takes his leave.
Both girls turn towards me while I use my hands to cover my face. "It seems Pup really does have a crush." Ino teases while Sakura tells me to cheer up: "After all, you can try again with him."
A week of me avoiding Shikamaru doesn't go unnoticed by the two girls I call my friends, even though me avoiding Shikamaru didn't change my routine too much. The teasing begins as soon as I enter the class.
"So, Pup, we couldn't help but notice you avoiding your boyfriend." Ino teases, lengthening the words as my cheeks heat.
"What are you on about?"
"Yeah, Pup, did you and Shikamaru have a falling out?" Sakura joins in the teasing.
"I don't even know him." I was exasperated as I ignored their prompting and sat down at our desks.
"Come on, Pup, no need to be shy after all; you know our crush." Ino says she puffs out her cheeks as she sits too.
"Yeah, so just admit it." Sakura adds, sitting in the seat beside me with Ino at my other side.
"There's nothing for me to admit."
"Wait, are you being like this because he's your first ever crush, Pup?!" Ino asks loudly as I shush her quickly.
"That's totally it, oh my god." Sakura says, and I can tell she starts thinking of a plan, or rather, a scheme, that involves me and Shikamaru.
Thankfully, class begins with a rather uncomfortable lesson. All my classmates have presented so it only made sense to have this lesson but I did not make it any less awkward.
"Alright today we're covering dynamics and mating, so be mature." Iruka sensi says as a few people laugh but he's quick to glare them down into silence. Then the awkward omega and alpha's talk began. Iruka sensi quelled any mocking laughter and answered questions before a knock at the door was heard.
"Perfect you're right on time Shikaku, I really appreciate you coming to talk about your clan." Iruka sensi says scratching his cheek, the higher ranked male made him nervous.
"It's no issue, best they know in class, any of them become my son's obsession." With those words, nearly the entire class, including myself, had their gaze fixed on Shikamaru. His face was flushed, but he pretended not to hear.
"Allow me to explain; some of you may be familiar with some clans having quirks, to say the least. Such as Inuzuka, being a very fruitful clan due to their connection with Nin-ken. The Nara's have something in that same vein called obsessions; when a Nara meets their obsession, it's life-changing and all-encompassing. This tells them who their perfect and only mate is. That's all you kids need to worry about." Shikaku finishes his explanation with a nod and leaves. The classroom is quiet before the blonde boys outburst breaks this atmosphere.
"Hey, Shikamaru, why didn't you tell anyone about that?" As our Sensi sighs, he yells, standing up, and soon the rest of the class joins in loud agreement. This new information has solidified my belief that my silly "crush" was doomed from the start. From now on, it was all about class and becoming an amazing ninja.
Throughout the next month and a half leading up to my early graduation, Ino and Sakura tried to get me to approach Shikamaru, but I avoided all their attempts with varying amounts of effort. I stood in front of the pair after class, ready to break the news that I was moving up and onward. That I would even participate in the Chunin exams soon too. I knew it was temporary, but yet I find myself hesitating just for a moment. Whether it was because of my two friends or my first crush, I did not think more about the topic.
"I graduated early, so this is our goodbye." After I said those words, the pair tackled me into a hug, knocking the breath from my lungs in one quick move.
"Oh, Pup, we're going to miss you." Ino says, putting her face on my shoulder as she wraps around me.
"Yeah, we really will, Pup." Sakura agrees, her face buried into the hair at the top of my head. Though I would never admit it to the two I would miss them too. Time seemed to start moving at light speed; after that, I was placed on a gennin team that had lost a member and then never truly accepted me as a member during my time with them I finally presented. An Alpha my Sensi said I was lucky, but I never felt lucky. My pup scent went away as my alignment took effect. Many changes happened: scars and wounds, tactics, and new jutsus. But even still, I outgrew my team. After passing the Chunin exams quickly, I was assigned to deep undercover Anbu, and with it a new name: Kōmori, the bat tricky to take down in the night yet finding ease in manoeuvring in the dark. Rather fitting due to my stealth specialization.
The missions are dangerous, but when my team gets placed as a plants in Sunagakure, we finally settle; things are rocky there, and Lord Third wants us to keep an eye on things. Suna becomes familiar as years pass, my team watches as their fifth Kazekage takes over. He's young, but I can make no comment on that myself. Eventually, we are sent back to Konohagakure, now under the new Hokage Tsunade.
Two more years pass all of my missions are assassinations, though a new member of my team, a suspected nepotism member, by me and the other members. Quickly decides that my time in Anbu is done, and I find little resistance against this. The slaughtering and the fights have worn me down, night terrors becoming commonplace in my sleep. Though a small part of me that I thought was gone lost to the cruel, unfeeling ninja I had become wonder about mates and pack, and wants that so badly.
Lady Tsunade grants me the rank of Jonin after reading through my file. Then I'm set up with lodging and asked to take it easy and adjust to village life after years of anything but. I am quick to tell the news of my staying to my Dam and Sire; I have visited them many times during my Anbu deployment, but it felt much more personal when I visited with news that I would be in the village full time for at least two weeks. They're happy for me asking questions about where I'm staying, what my plans are, the usually parental things, though soon my Dam mentions the thing I have been dreading.
"So dear, anyone you have you eye on for a mate now that you're gonna be in the village so much?" Dam asks glee in their tone.
"Baby, you can't just ask them that; they've only been in the village for what-a day or two? Wait a week and then we'll have news." My Sire chides happily.
"It's not like that," I pout, packing up the leftovers and fruits they gifted me as I make my escape.
"That child." They sigh.
I wander the streets at night, as despite the changes I still mostly look like me, though more grown up in ways when I am out for things during the day, a few villagers stop me to confirm that I really am that "Big shot village kid turned ninja," though that's mostly light jeering. During one such rare daytime excursion, I see him after all these years, my heart rate speeds up slightly before I rein myself in. Shikamaru is walking through the market opposite of me, list in hand, as he walks his eyes on the list. Before his attention is on me with an almost break neck snap. I'm stunned by the speed of his focus shift we lock eyes for several beats, the noise of the market is lost to me as I stare before I break eye contact.
"Hey, long time no see." I say, feeling awkward as he keeps staring at me. His gaze is intense and focused, a look I never saw during our brief academy time together.
"Its you," Shikamaru finally says. He seems astounded by this observation, and just as quickly his face flushes a bright red.
"Come with me." He says as he leads us away from the market and to a quieter area, following behind him, I catch his scent after the many years away from it. The familiar smell of rain-soaked plants and delicate white tea is strong in my nose, I am quick to gather that he's happy and excited. My heart leaps at the cause being me, while my mind rations that, that makes no sense.
Shikamaru says my name, seeing that my attention isn't on him, "You remember that lesson where my dad came in, right?" He asks once my focus is on him, the flush still on his face but lighter now he stands close to me, making it easy to smell and hear him.
"Yeah, wait are you saying that..."
"Yes, how I didn't know then is troublesome." He says frowning slightly before looking at me once more.
"Well, I hadn't presented at the time, and we weren't exactly close." At my words, he frowns more and whines, catching us both in surprise.
Shikamaru clears his throat before speaking again, "Where have you been?" He asks, but I can tell he has more questions then that on his mind.
"I was part of the Anbu till very recently." I answer honestly. "But that's behind me now..."
"I see..." He trails off with a frown before shaking his head as if to say troublesome once again. "When did you get back to the village?"
"Not very long just a handful of days really. It's been a big adjustment to say the least." I explain with a shrug Shikamaru's frown goes away quickly at my words and now I notice that he's slow inching closer towards me a slight flush on his face.
"Did you miss me..?" He asks his tone quieter as the same intense look in his eyes though with a more airy quality. It was very reminiscent of when Ino and Sakura would look at Sasuke but at least a thousand times more intense.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Nervous with the attention from my childhood crush turned obessioness? What was the right way to describe that perhaps simply my Nara no that felt too intense. I end my train of thoughts as I notice said Nara in question fidget a bit.
"What do you mean?" He asks seeming genuinely confused.
"It's the most intense way anyone has looked at me before." I explain he steps back at my words.
"Is it too much?" He asks nervous tears dotting at his eyes as he attempts to look away from me rather poorly.
"No, I actually find it really comforting." I explain with a smile. The way Shikamaru's face light up left me feeling fuzzy and accomplished.
After that day I was once again briefed on obsessions though this time in the Nara compound main house seated in the tea room across from Shikaku with Shikamaru sitting right beside me or rather on top of me at this point. As his dad explains the importance of taking things slowly so Shikamaru can acclimate properly I feel said omega freeze up.
"Now don't look at me like that." Shikaku scoffs a frown on his face.
"You can't even let go of them as is right now this is certainly more intense then with you mother." He sighs.
Though his words only stress out the omega more, he quickly turns to me for comfort, a barely concealed whine bubbles up his throat.
"Shika I'm sure it will all go fine I mean I've been gone for years before this and you were fine." I explain trying to be gentle I can tell the nickname worked but bringing up my prior absence brought as back to square one.
"No." Shikamaru says moving his face into my neck to start huffing my scent his father sighs once more leaving us alone in the tea room.
"Shika," I start again more cautious; "we have to do this ok I'll be right here with you ok." I coo to him which works perfectly as he removes his face from my neck to actually look at me.
"Promise?" He asks. "Pinkie promise." I say with a grin holding out my pinkie for him the promised now sealed we begin the regiment. If Shikamaru skips a day we have to start over so I make sure to remind him that we must be the first couple to complete this first try.
The first days are deceptively easy as Shikamaru is allowed to see me six hours the first day and one less each day after. When we reach the day where he isn't allowed to see me at all I can tell even though I haven't seen him yet today that he'll break. For his peace of mind I told him I was staying in my apartment all of the day, but surely an unprompted stroll wouldn't count.
Out walking I run into Naruto and Sakura returning from a mission, said woman screams in glee when she sees me charging at me full force. Just able to prep myself for the hug least we both topple over I smile as well. It had been too long.
Sakura also knowing this barrages me with questions of when I got back and if I was staying and such other things. Naruto makes his way to us saving me from Sakura's never ending questions.
"Good to see you." He says with the same grin he always wears though me and Naruto hadn't been close he would often praise me for beating Sasuke and would cheer for me when we'd spar.
"You too so much has changed around the village since I've been gone." I say as the three of us chat about what we've been doing and future plans. I feel eyes on me or rather the eyes of none other then Shikamaru.
"You know I know you're there." I say cutting off Sakura as she was telling me about the new kunai she bought.
"Who's where?" Naruto asks, looking around for anyone out of place.
"Shikamaru." I say both explaining and calling the omega out who comes out from his hiding place fuming. Well that's not the reaction I was expecting.
"Shika?" I question but his attention is on Naruto as he walks over growling and snarling.
"Oh I suppose I forgot to mention that I'm Shikamaru's obsession and that you two should probably leave now." I explain my tone not betraying the true anxiety I felt now. Quickly recalling what to do if Shikamaru had a jealousy flareup I begin pumping out my scent to try and cover up any omega scents on me.
"WHAT!?" The pair yell before Sakura drags Naruto away and the two book it. This gets another snarl from Shikamaru as he readies to chase after before I grab his arm carefully.
"Shika you're not leaving me your alpha are you?" I ask putting empathises on the fact that he had me. This works perfectly as said omega freezes in place before a whole body shiver overtakes him.
"Take me home." His voice just below a whisper and he moans softly clutching onto me now his grip intense on my arm.

Sasuke and Neji rival things in an AU where Konoha isn’t a giant turd and the Hyuuga clan is not toxic and the Uchiha are alive and well.
First off these two are petty as hell. The whole thing started when they met at an important function the Uchiha and Hyuuga had to attend and it’s been going strong ever since.
They genuinely hated each other at first because they were both prodigy children with insecurity issues (such is life when you’re young and have a sibling/cousin that’s The Heir and you’re not. No matter how nice your family is it still gets to you) but as they got older and more adjusted the acid melted away and now they do it for fun.
Sasuke’s phone contact for Neji is ‘Hygge’ (yes, the Danish word) because that’s what it autocorrected to when he first typed it in and he’s never fixed it. Hinata’s name is spelled correctly.
It doesn’t stop in his phone contacts though, anytime Sasuke texts Neji he’ll address him by his last name and the phone will autocorrect. 99% of the messages he sends start something like ‘hey Hygge’
Neji didn’t know Sasuke’s first name for the longest time (he’d forgotten and when they were first introduced Sasuke hadn’t bothered to give his name first) and so he’s only ever referred to him as ‘Uchiha’.
His contact for Sasuke is ‘Uchiha #2’ which frustrates Sasuke to no end
Both of them were really bad at math in the first few years of the academy but started studying really hard to outdo each other.
Everyone knows Sasuke hates sweets so every birthday Neji sends him a giant box of confectionery chocolates and assorted cookies.
One year for Halloween Sasuke left a giant pumpkin carved to look like Neji’s face by the front gate of the Hyuuga mansion. Neji didn’t find out until an esteemed guest commented on it. It still gets brought up at family dinners and everyone has a good laugh because Neji hates pumpkins.
The worst part about their rivalry, at least for Neji, is that Sasuke is a whole year younger than him which means any spiteful feelings Neji has towards Sasuke carries the same energy as an adult getting into a bickering match with a nine year old.
TBC…??

See You In Other Worlds #9 (Sasuke x Sakura)
Deals Sealed With Blood And Kisses
Sasuke has everything ready for the ritual. He is at the old church on the outskirts of Konoha. It’s nearly three a.m on the 1st of October. He had spent a good chunk of his evening preparing everything. Around the room, seven different obsidian incense burners held a mixture of amber resin and artemisia, the bittersweet smoke sticks to the back of his throat in an uncomfortable manner. On the ground, under the stained glass vaguely illuminated by the moonlight, lies his mother’s old mirror—a large oval piece with a frame made of gold and mother-of-pearl shaped like cherry blossoms. It has been in the family for at least a couple of centuries, and for that it’s going to be a great aid to tonight's task.
Eight drops of his blood are placed in it, four for each cardinal point, and the others for the elements of fire, earth, water, and air. A ninth drop is contained in the jade cup in his right hand. Finally, the grimoire that lies open on the old altar, waiting for him to pronounce the ancient words of the ritual. Even the old church had been selected carefully, as it was built over a ley line, all of this to amplify the reach and ensure the success of tonight’s ritual.
Sasuke has been preparing for this ritual for a long time, almost since the day his family lost their lives, it wouldn’t have been needed if Madara’s old Spirit Compass hadn’t been broken twenty years before he was born. Fugaku tried to repair it at some point, but he, like the rest of the family, was clueless about what made the small purple compass point that allowed the communication with the other life work. This was the reason on why Sasuke was going to perform today’s ritual, once he managed to contact with Madara Uchiha to ask him how he created the Compass, and once he manages to fix it or create another compass point, Sasuke is going to be able to contact with his parents and brother, there has not been a day he didn’t miss his mother embrace, the way his brother teased him or even the silent love of his father camouflaged under grunts and layers of strict discipline. 
The Uchiha family has been surrounded by tragedy and death for centuries, nobody is sure when the curse started, but generation after generation, accidents, illness, natural disasters  even murders had been claiming those with the Uchiha surname, very soon their family name was associated with the fatality, and their numbers were small compared to other ancient magical families, the only thing that escaped the family misfortune was their wealth, and it was that what kept their bloodline from extinction, the immense Uchiha wealth still lured less important magical families into marrying an Uchiha like a siren’s song, no matter how many times the tragedy struck. The family curse seems to have it’s own set of rules, no matter what at least one Uchiha member is going to remain alive despite everything, that surviving Uchiha is blessed/cursed with being able to die of old age, it has been proven useless to try to stop the family from going outside or removing potential dangerous items from their homes, death always finds a way to claim the Uchihas, they tried to get rid of their money, it was useless again, no matter if they incurred on huge debts, gift away all their money, invested in the most stupid projects or even burned it, the wealth always found a way to return to them. 
The sound of his digital watch alerts Sasuke that it is already three in the morning, and he needs to proceed. With a deep breath he walks to the old grimoire and begins to chant the almost faded spell, it needs to be repeated it three times to be effective before finally dropping the last drop of his blood in the middle of the mirror that is going to serve as a portal for him to communicate with Madara. The air begins to frizzle with electricity in the exterior of the church, it looks like an electric storm brewing over, inside the building instead, the heat begins to escalate the smoke of the incense feels heavier after each second while he keeps chanting in that old language that has taken years of his life to learn, he is in the middle of the final repetition when Sasuke begins to walk towards the mirror after the spell is completed, finally, he lets the blood fall into the mirror. 
Several heart beats pass, and nothing seems to happen, but suddenly the surface of the mirror turns opaque, the blood drops begin to move, forming symbols in a language that Sasuke doesn’t understand at fast speed. The doors of the church open with a gust of wind that fills the room with the smell of princess of the night, honeysuckles and cherry blossoms, in the same manner the doors were opened, they close with a big slam, outside the loud boom of a thunder can be hear, before the clatter of a downpour of rain starts to hit the roof, followed by more thunders and lightning. His focus shifts again to the mirror, his surface now expels a dark liquid that in contact with floor seems to be burning more of those weird symbols into the stone but as soon it reaches the ivy that grows everywhere in the chapel it begins to burn it emanating a thick heavy smoke that should smell like fire but it doesn’t. In his hassle to move out of the way of the liquid, Sasuke fails to see the rest of one of the wooden benches of the church and falls to the ground hitting his head against the stone. 
It’s unknown for Sasuke how much time he spends unconscious on the ground, but when he regains his senses again his eyes fluttering open the first thing he notices is that the storm still is going on outside, the second  he feels a bit dazed and has resounding pain in the back of his skull, finally that isn’t Madara’s black eyes the ones he is seeing now, instead he meets a pair of jade eyes that look at him intensely. They belong to a pale girl or maybe she is a woman, it’s difficult to calculate her age for she looks young but all around her screams old, she is sitting in the old altar next to his grimoire, clad on a long red dress so thin and sheer that he can see the shape of her body underneath it, her pretty face is framed by long pink locks of hair, her lips are also red, in the same shade of the blood freshly spilled, atop of her head like a crown, a pair of green horns with lavender swirls on them. 
–Finally you wake up, while I was sure the deal with Madara prevented you from dying, I didn’t know how long it would take for you to regain consciousness.– Her voice sounds oddly musical, and it takes him more time that he would like to get up from the floor to confront her. –Your deal with Madara? And where is he? I was supposed to be talking to him right now about fixing the compass–. –The compass…? Ah, you mean Hashirama's prison.– –No, I'm talking about the compass that allowed the person holding it to talk with the other side, the one that broke…–She cuts him off, dismissing the rest of his words with a movement of her hand. –That was never a compass, it was Hashirama’s prison, Madara Uchiha sought a deal with me the night the planets aligned on a straight line in this very same place, four centuries ago, he was extremely jealous of Hashirama Senju success, he was convinced that he had taken his position in the Concilum, stolen his bride and mocked his abilities every time he left the room, Madara was a dexterous creator of magical artifacts, he presented to me what it looked like a compass, but it was meant to be a prison for Hashirama’s soul, with him out of the picture the Senju’s will fade into the obscurity while the Uchiha’s would be present in the history for the eternity, and nothing would stop their wealth and their power.– She licks her lips before resuming her tale. –As you can see, I’m no guardian angel nor a genie, I don’t grant wishes I make deals, he was aware that the price for his desires would be payed with the life of the last Uchiha so I could do as I please with them, and the blood of his descendants as well their life’s ending too soon, except the one that would ensure that as long the family held the prison in their power they should continue paying for the wealth and the fame associated with it, Hashirama's soul trapped as the compass point, until the family either gives away the prison to someone else or breaks it and tries to contact Madara o reaches the age of 34, those were the terms of our deal.- 
With a small hop she descends from the altar she was seated on, and begins to approach him in a way that reminds Sasuke of a hunter stalking its prey until she is standing in front of him, she is way shorter than him, the top of her head from where her horns grow doesn’t reach his chin, still he feels the power emanating from her form, and something more that beckons him to close the small distance between them, to keep looking at that body that is covered and bared at the same time for his eyes, to touch her, stubbornly Sasuke resists to do so, and it's taking all the strength he has to do it, his hands are in tight fists next to his sides, shaking with the effort of not let them wander through her body. – I believe that with the pass of the time what your family forgot that it was the poor old Hashirama what was there and mistook it for the other side, when the prison broke his soul was free to meet again his loved ones in the after life– one of her small hands reaches to cradle his face on her palm, her thumb caressing his cheek, her tact feels incredibly warm against his skin, the same smell of flowers clings to her with a hint something more, something he can only describe as sin, maybe the smell it’s a warning of her presence on the first place–  and you Sasuke Uchiha now belong to me.– An attempt to bargain with her dies at the tip of his tongue, when she stands on her tiptoes and deposits a soft kiss on his lips. –I know that you didn’t have a part in this deal, and you feel that it is unfair that you are the final payment of it– She uses her hands to make sure he is looking straight into her hypnotic eyes, the puffs of her breath tickle his lips. – You know, from the very first moment I knew I didn’t like Madara Uchiha, he was too full of himself believing to be above everyone and everything, his future family and me included, but because of that he never stopped to think that there was a loophole on what he offered as payment. I know that you feel a pulse traveling through your body that grew bigger and bigger as I was coming closer to you, everything in me demands from you to touch, grab, sniff, kiss and lick every part of me you can have– again she wets those red lips – let your control over yourself go Sasuke, touch me as we know you want to do, have the last laugh against Madara by enjoying your new position next to me for the eternity. - 
Sasuke knows that this demon could be trying to tricking him, that she may have not told the truth about the compass giving him a plausible fake explanation about his ancestor that it’s wildly infamous for being was shady on his best day and downright evil on the worst, but she is not lying about his desires right now, since he laid his eyes on her the rest of the world has faded to a mute grey in the background while she has set herself as the only source of light for him too vibrant against a dull setting, but maybe she is telling the truth and his soul was already lost centuries before he was born and there is nothing he can do to fight back, Sasuke unclenches his fists, his nails leave bloody half moons imprinted at the palms of his hands, and proceeds to hold her form close to him, her breasts tightly pressed against his chest since she still is standing on her tiptoes. –And what should I call you? My master? My sinful queen? My love?– She lets out a laugh full of a dark mirth, that small movement against him feels like wildfire spreading through his veins all over his body –The last two sound good, but for now Sakura will do– He dives for a new kiss, his tongue slipping inside her mouth, sealing more than his fate this way.
  ~ᰔᩚ~ 
Somewhere on hell a frustrated Madara groans when a set of chains drags him out of the chamber he had been waiting for the last centuries after his death, when he had struck the deal with Sakura, she assured him that eventually he would have to pay himself for the imprisoning Hashirama’s soul and the earlier disposal of almost all of his family, Madara had wager her that his last descendant would fight her for his freedom, the selfishness in the blood of the Uchihas fuelling their actions in the same manner it was fuelling Madara’s, and if he was right, and Madara was always right, Sakura would allow him to walk out the rest of the eternity debt free. But the boy had to surrender himself to her will without a fuss, probably the vixen found a way to lure his descendant or maybe she cheated by reincarnating the soul of a fallen lover on his bloodline to ensure she wins their bet.
I love the idea of demon Sakura. All comments are welcomed

Finch Rambles: Trying to explain anime shows I haven't seen
One Piece
This is that one with over a thousand episodes
Main characters: Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper (different from the Star Wars character), skeleton dude
Luffy can stretch his limbs really far because he ate some weird fruit
Zoro apparently gets lost a lot. I've seen the memes.
There's a live action adaptation that was all over Tumblr's ads a while back. Including that somewhat creepy clown.
The crew's called the straw hats. As far as I know, only one of them actually has a straw hat.
What even is this "one piece" they're looking for?
Haikyuu
Volleyball
Main character: Hinata (short kid with orange hair). I don't know the other characters' names.
One of the volleyball teams is called the Crows or something? My friend told me that.
What is the deal with sports anime? (Asking this because I'm a sci-fi and fantasy girlie)
Naruto
Main characters: Naruto (obviously), Sasuke, Sakura. There's also a Hinata, but she's a girl and she's different from the Hinata in Haikyuu.
"Beneath my mask is another mask!" -- Kakashi
Invented one of the most iconic styles of running.
Ninjas
What I know about the main character: he likes ramen and he has some kind of fox demon inside of him.
I know there's shipping wars in the fandom. I'll be sure to avoid those.
Sakura gets a lot of hate for some reason. I'm willing to bet the reason is misogyny in the fandom.
My impression of Sasuke is that he's an emo kid.
Jujitsu Kaisen (is that how you spell it?)
The main character (Itadori) has a demon living inside him. Also he always wears a red scarf. Also, he sometimes eats fingers.
The white-haired dude (Gojo) sometimes wears sunglasses, sometimes he wears a blindfold. I don't know why.
I think there's some blood? I don't know.
Also there's this dude with a really tacky-looking tie.
Other main characters: Nobara and Megumi. I think they and Itadori are high schoolers?
Neon Genesis Evangelion
"Shinji get in the robot"
Apparently there's some biblical imagery. (According to my dad, who watched it.)
The music is pretty good. Well, "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" is a banger at least.
War, child soldiers, giant robots, lots of messed up stuff.
There's two girls: Rei and Asuka. (If I had a nickel for every character named Rei that I know of, I'd have a lot of nickels.)
Gundam
Another series with giant robots
Safe to say there is also war involved
There's like a ton of shows and movies in this franchise if I remember right.
Attack on Titan
Hey, this is another one my dad watched.
Characters: Eren, Levi, Mikasa. I forget the others.
There's these giant monsters (titans) that are attacking humanity.
Everyone lives in walled cities so the titans don't get them. I'm guessing this solution isn't foolproof, otherwise there wouldn't be an anime about it.
One of the main characters can turn into a titan. I think he ate something that lets him do that.
I am 99.99 percent sure there is bloodshed involved in this show.
Hunter x Hunter
The main character is trying to find his dad, who is a Hunter.
Main character's friend is a kid with white hair.
What even is a "hunter" in this context?
There's this freaky looking guy with what looks like clown makeup.
Why is the "x" there if you're not supposed to pronounce it?!
How did I do? Is there anything I missed?

3, 14, 17, 24, 27, aaaand 34
I IMEMDIATELY FORGOT I REBLOGGED THIS i feel like it's been so long since i've seen this kind of ask meme. i'm happy to see them again they are fun
3. "3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?" -The Phantom of The Paradise -Dune 1984 - Jan Svankmajer's Alice
I agonized over this but this three make me scream the whole time every time i'm obsessed with these films please watch these films i can reccomend more films after you watch these ones thank god i decided not to pursue art direction for films but i used to be so into films. i should get back into films more
14."what’s something you’ve always wanted to do but maybe been to scared to do?" I think very many things. I lived my life in fear for a long time. I've been able to drive for quite a while now so I really need and want to get over traveling fears...I've never been on a plane because it's so expensive but also because it seems scary D: in general i am trying to enter an era where i have less regard for my own safety lol. i want to ride a rollercoaster without fainting. i want to have fune
17."name 3 things that make you happy" -human and animal companionship everybody so beautiful world so wonderful -reading about historical religious schisms and in-fighting -singing or yelling songs loudly while being drowned out by my sewing machine or at shitty karaoke or in the car with my mom. my mom and i's top car yelling choices are black sabbath, system of a down, and rage against the machine
24."what’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for?" this is a well-timed question to reflect on thank you. i feel like after i graduated i lost all momentum immediately and like everything had been such a waste of time and i hadn't accomplished what i wanted. but i worked really hard and grew a lot and in terms of like academic achievement my underclassmen voted for me to get a mentorship award which really really touched my heart. in the past four years i've gone from barely being able to leave my home or talk to anyone to achieving that, learning to drive, making friends, having lots of different jobs...it's hard for me to remember those things and feel a consistent sense of pride and growth, but i'm working on it.
27."any nicknames?" idk how to spell out the most common one. Saus-Cha. Sas Cha. two words. Also sauce, sauce-uh, saazh, and Sote (complex backstory inside joke matching nickname with my bff). my mom will call my like victorian men's names like frederick or chester. my older brother often calls me sasuke which i feel like coming from an older brother specifically could legally be considered a threat
34."any pet peeves?" i definitely have very many because i am a hater but i'm blanking on any of them now. i really hate when men effect that specific Stupid Vapid Woman Voice

❛ @mythcaels said . . . Sasuke finds himself waking up when he swears he hears his name. The darkness of the room with only the light that the moon offers tells him that it is still late. His name is uttered again, it's in such a tone that spells out the sadness and it's coming from Naruto who is still very much asleep. His two different colored eyes notice tears on the blonde, he's crying in his sleep. His heart clenches in his chest and just when he's about to move and shake the blonde awake, he instead snaps up and his breaths just seem so uneven and Sasuke knows he's about to break down into sobs. He looks like his entire world just shattered, it hurts Sasuke to see him like this. Instantly he's turning Naruto's head to make sure he sees that he is here, he's leaning and pressing lips against forehead then kissing tears away, the tip of his nose is kissed next, a soft peck against lips. All these things to try and ground him and let him know that he's here. He pulls Naruto into his hold and then fingers gently card through those blonde locks ❛ I'm here. It's alright. Lean on me and focus on my heartbeat. I'm here . . . ❜ ❜
Tumblr media
𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐓𝐎𝐒𝐒 𝐔𝐏. will he wake up on the verge of tears ? or will he get a peaceful nights sleep ? it's a roulette game naruto hates playing. and tonight it seems he's lost. he can't find sasuke. no matter how far he runs or how many times he searches the village the uchiha is nowhere to be seen and naruto is beginning to panic. dreams of this variety were frequent and often gave naruto the most anxiety. losing sasuke was a constant fear, one he could never entirely shake. sure, sasuke had come home finally after all this time but what if things got bad again ? what if he got tired of naruto ? it's in that anxiety he forms these nightmares that leave him running around the recesses of his mind to find his lover.
❛ sasuke !! ❜ but when eyes open he's no longer running. it's dark and the only thing he see's is his own hands shaking in his lap. a nightmare . . . it's just a nightmare. but a hand forces his focus onto sasuke who is clearly worried, multi - colored hues scanning naruto quickly before lips press to cold skin. sasuke he's . . . he's here. just the sight of his boyfriend is enough to calm him ever so slightly. sucking in a breath tears roll down whiskered cheeks, a sob wracking his frame. being weak in front of the other was nothing knew. but even for naruto he feels fragile in this moment. but sasuke's here to pick up the pieces this time.
without a word naruto rests his head onto the raven's shoulder, sliding down until he's using sasuke as a pillow. his heart beats a bit quicker, probably surprised by the situation. naruto must have woken him in his fit. guilt crosses his mind but in the moment he feels far too selfish to care. sasuke is here and fine. arms wrap around his midsection tightly, making sure that he cannot leave the bed even if he wanted to. holding onto sasuke for dear life he cries softly into his chest, attempting to pull himself together after a minute or so. sasuke needs sleep and he simply cannot spend the entire night sobbing into his chest despite the desire to do so.
❛ m ' sorry. ❜ is all naruto manages, grip tightening on sasuke's shirt. tomorrow they could talk about it more but right now, all naruto wants is to fall asleep in sasuke's arms.

Naruto is a Full Moon Lunar exalted, with the Fox as his spirit shape. His tell is his whisker markings on his face. He obviously makes use of Cunning Anglerfish Decoy and, when he reaches Essence 3, Ant-and-Starfish Trick to employ his shadow clones. There's actually a number of ways to work in Sexy Jutsu. The Rasengan is odd, though, because it's actually probably a Sorcery spell - and his control spell, at that. (The whole Frog Sage thing is almost CERTAINLY a Sorcerous Initiation. Hell, Sage Chakra is basically how Sorcerous Motes work.) Fox Mode is just his hybrid form, and becoming the Fox uses the Kaiju charms. (For what it is worth, Kurama is likely the name of his previous incarnation, and he gets unusually strong memories/perceptions of that incarnation later on.)
Sasuke is odd for a number of reasons - he's a Solaroid, but picking between Solar and Infernal depends on a lot of things. Either way, he's Day/Nadir caste, perfect for being a Ninja. Plus, the Uchiha clan is clearly a (probably Fire) Dragon-Blooded clan. The Sharingan is probably a Sorcerous Working with unique Evocations, which are probably Resonant with those of Uchiha descent - hence why Kakashi isn't as strong with it. His Cursed Form could definitely be inspiration for a Devil-Body if he's Infernal (and Susanoo could be an offshoot of that, for ease of use) Either way he's probably Naruto's Solar(/Infernal) Mate. (Whether that's romantic or not is. Up to interpretation.) Also like Naruto he has a Snake Sage Sorcerous Awakening and his Command Spell is the Chidori, probably.
Sakura... Is weird in that she exalts much later than Sasuke and Naruto, it being during her training with Tsunade. She could theoretically also be a Twilight Solar with Medicine Supernal and Brawl Charms - her Seal would be a Sorcerous Working, and she has a Sorcerous Initiation with the Slugs. She could also be an Exigent to a Medicine God of some variety, and her Seal could theoretically be a proper Charm Tree. (She's a rare Exigent that is on equal footing to Celestial Exalted)
Kakashi is... probably a Dragon-Blood, given his position in the village and what it means. I'd guess Wood Aspect or Earth Aspect, but we know very little about the Hatake clan. The White Light Chakra Saber is almost certainly an Artifact of White Jade (hence Earth Aspect) and he got his eye via Sorcerous Working (and has invested in it via Evocations.) His Sorcerous Control Spell is the dogs, somehow...
Sai is a Chosen of Secrets Sidereal (despite Endings being a better color), his birth and exaltation signs being The Sword and The Mask, respectively. His art technique is a Sidereal Martial Art (Sable Ink of Imitation, with the Scripture of the Lonely Maiden.) He's heavily invested in Integrity charms (hence he seems emotionless) but also in his SMA, as well as a normal martial art using a brush. (Don't ask me to name it now I can't) The reason no one remembers him until he shows up is Arcane Fate, and he is using a Resplendant Destiny.
Shikako (Dreaming of Sunshine) is a Getimian, which I find endlessly funny that she slots perfectly into this. Despite Summer being the right color, she's got the vibes of a Spring caste. Her Origin is either the DoS timeline, or the Real World, and either way she can pull a lot of shenanigans with that Origin. Her Seals may be odd applications of the Alchemy Tinctures that Getimians get, unclear because we only have a partial look at them. Most of her "I know how things go" is from her Origin stuff and Intelligence charms, though.
Maybe later I'll do Team 8 but they're two Lunars and a Sidereal/Solar (still deciding for Hinata) so they're going to be cracked. InoShikaCho are all Dragon-Blooded, clan shit is too integral to their whole deal. Aspects to be decided later.
Akatsuki is also going to be odd but I do know Pain is a Heart-Eater. Probably the only Heart-Eater of the series.
... oh and Orochimaru is probably a Lunar? Maybe???

Get to know your mutuals
Thanks for the tag @fassbender-mcavoyobsessed! 💕

If you work, what's your profession? Not telling <3
If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? I wish I didn't have to work at all. I'm not one of those people who say they'd be bored, I love too many things. Rather than an actual job I appreciate being allowed to do home office, being flexible with start and end times, etc.
Something you're good at: I think I'm an ok writer. Decent, even. I've also been told I'm a good judge of character.
Something you're bad at: Going easy on myself.
Something you love: Books.
Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: Anything I'm fangirling about, and Barbie doll history & lore.

Something you collect: Fashion dolls.
Something you forget: How to spell certain German words, like Streichholzheftchen.

What were you like as a child? Introverted and a bit of a know-it-all.
Favorite subject at school? History and English
Least favorite subject: Math
What's your best character trait? I'm kind of funny, I guess.
What's your worst character trait? I'm a blabbermouth. I'm working on it but it's so damn hard.
If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be? I'd make myself more assertive when talking to people whose opinion actually matters to me so I don't feel I need to please or appease them.
If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet? A Beatles concert in the 60s. Or Elvis further back.
Tag as as many mutuals as you want: @cannedpeachess and @rats-socks, and whoever else wants to jump in!

In 2021 I got really into reading books.
One of my favorite aspects of it was getting to see my stats at the end of the year. Something about seeing it all in neat little charts and graphs was really satisfying to me. In 2022 I got back into fan fiction and was annoyed at the lack of anything similar.
I set out this year to rectify that for myself.
Starting with a Notion that eventually moved over to Sheets with an attached form to fill out, I tracked each and every fic I read this year, all 168 of them. 
The above images are the results. 
(Q&A + Fic Recs under the cut)
Q&A Time - Readers Addition
While looking around to see what other fic readers included on their AO3 Unwraps I stumbled across this fun questionnaire ask box meme. I figured instead of posting and waiting for questions I’d just answer them because I really wanted to. 
You can check out the original post of questions by clicking here! 
Fic you clicked on the most times this year?
That would be Kings and Pawns by HittoSama.  Now there are some caveats to this. First, it was the fic I was reading while building my first fic tracker over on Notion. While building it and then again when building it in Sheets, I had to go copy the link a good few times. It’s also a pretty long fic and I was reading it before I was downloading to read them in Books. Between reading on different devices, as well as going back to link it on a few rec lists I made this year for friends….it racked up the hits from me! But it is a great fic, wonderfully written, and has some of the best Shikamaru characterization I’ve come across so you should all go check it out. 
First fic you clicked on this year?
Also Kings and Pawns. It was my first read of the year. 
Your most read Fandom this year?
Naruto. It’s actually the only fandom I’ve read this year. I have plans to branch out in 2024 but we’ll see how that goes. 
Your most read pairing this year? 
Kakashi Hatake / Sasuke Uchiha.  I’ve read 72 works for them this year.
Most popular fic by hits you read this year?
In Good Company by Weialala reigns supreme with over 404,000 hits. 
Your personal favorite fic you read this year?
In Good Company and its sequel Ragnarǫkr by Weialala were both standouts this year that I ended up rereading three times. 
Most recent fic you clicked on?
Technically Ragnarǫkr as I needed to fetch the spelling but not counting stuff looked up for this challenge, last clicked on fic would be The Blood-Soaked Road to Paradise by Renyanen. I’ve not read it yet but I was compiling my tbr for 2024 and it’s one I’m looking forward to checking out. 
Highest word count fic you read this year?
An unpublished story I co-wrote with my friend. It comes in at 643,478 words and is based on the concept of Itachi taking Sasuke with him to the Akatsuki. It’s my favorite thing and honestly very self indulgent and unlikely to ever see the light of day. Ten of ten recommend every fic writer to have one of these.  
Shout out an incomplete fic you read this year?
From This Earth by Embers.  I’m really looking forward to reading more of it in the future! 
Oldest fic you read this year?
I’m pretty sure nothing else I read beats In Good Company by Weialala. She began writing it over on FF.Net back in 2008. It’s sequel is currently incomplete and I await the day she returns to finish it. 🙏🏻
That more or less wraps us up here!
As a final section, as I take my leave, I want to give a small recommendation list based on my favorite fics I read this year. Many of these were mentioned above in the questions and images, some of them weren’t but still come highly recced from me. Enjoy!
The Rec List (in no particular order):
Kings and Pawns by HittoSama Sharingan Rising Series (In Good Company / Ragnarǫkr) by Weialala Wild Things by TheAdventuresOf From This Earth by Embers Eye to Eye by Embers Scarlet Ink and Paper Swords by Renyanen Mosaic Eyes by BitchBot3000 Hold Your head Up and Run by TakaGang Why Storms Are Named After People by Naava

warnings: mentions of blood and death, angst!!! asshole Uchiha nonsense, dad mode Kakashi, reader is a bully lmfao, uhhhh long as shit
wc: 7840
next final
Tumblr media
You were born to be best friends. At least, that’s what each of your parents had in mind. When Hae Uchiha told Mikoto that she was once again pregnant, the latter practically jumped for joy. She was a few months along with another boy, and she imagined your mother’s next child would make a perfect pal for her second born. Itachi and Shisui got along famously, the two borderline inseparable. 
Mikoto extended her hand to cover Hae’s not-yet showing stomach. “How far along?” She asked with a warm smile on her lips. 
Hae closed her eyes and returned the same embraceful grin. “Just a few months, she should be born soon after your boy!” 
“She! How exciting, I’m sure Sasuke will protect her for her whole life! Have you decided on a name yet?”
“Y/N…I always dreamed of naming my daughter Y/N.”
Mikoto returns her hand to her own stomach, her bump showing through. “That’s beautiful, Sasuke and Y/N…yes, they’ll be another version of our Itachi and Shisui!”
Hae beamed, knowing that her daughter would have a forever ally. 
Well, she had hoped, anyway. 
Nonetheless, you and Sasuke never spoke. He went out of his way to stay out of your path and you did the same for him. Truth be told, there was a great reason. There was hurt, and anger, and most forcefully, the fear, and what you had to do to hide. 
You had been friends, once. Just like your mothers had wanted, from birth, the two of you became inseparable. Where Shisui was a few years older than Itachi, feeling like an older brother to two now; Sasuke was only a few months your senior, making the two of you closer than even your own siblings.
Make no mistake, Shisui’s love for his younger sister was widely known and highly regarded. One might mistake you as his own daughter, if he wasn’t just nine years old. You were a much anticipated gift to the boy, he had been begging for a sibling for years. And his parents tried and tried to fulfill this wish, overjoyed when it came true. You truly were the pride of your branch, as hard as it may be to believe with Shisui’s reputation. Itachi was always kind, about six years older than you. Itachi would often babysit the two of you, being the perfectly responsible young man he was. Itachi was just happy to see Sasuke happy, and bonus points for you as well. He seemed oddly relieved that Sasuke had someone to grow attached to.
So you were, for about six years. You learned to walk together, he learned how to spell your name before he learned to spell his own, you refused to take naps without him. Once, Shisui and Itachi built little tricycles for the two of you, Sasuke’s purple and yours green. You rode those tricycles all over the village, laughing in the hot Konoha sun. You would traverse to the mountains and collect fruits to bring back for your mother to bake into sweet pastries. It was magical, it was perfect. Until that infamous night. 
That fateful night, the night that tore apart mind and soul, body and spirit. You thought it couldn’t get any worse. A hole had been left behind when Shisui died, something irreparable and ever painful. You couldn’t call it a void, for it was too powerful. It was nearly two years ago now, your tiny body and soul already weighed down with his loss. It created a rift between you and Sasuke, too. Itachi was blamed for his death for a while, and it hurt even more to feel so alone. You felt like you were drowning and no one was there to pull you back up, no one to even notice you slipping away… 
You had grown numb to the life that was without Shisui and Sasuke, you went to training and classes like you were supposed to. You did what you were told at home, your parents just as much a shell of themselves as you were. Everything that was colorvision faded to dull grays and empty blacks. Where you once saw beauty, you saw injustice. Where there was once love there was now ugly pain that had rooted, hatred growing in its place. Hatred for who? For Shisui, for dying? For Sasuke, for letting rumors pull you apart? For the forces of the universe that caused it all to begin with? You weren’t quite sure, maybe it was a mixture of all three. 
When you came home that evening, it took you a moment to realize. The house had been quiet since Shisui passed, there was simply no joy without him. Yet still, you were used to the sound of your father’s footsteps shuffling through the kitchen, the clink of dishes. The sound of your mother turning pages in her book–everything was silent. Eerily so. A dread washed over you, familiar with the haunting ache. What was left of your heart sank in your stomach as you realize there was blood on the walls. Your breathing became rapid and shaky, you crept down the hall, hoping it was some cruel joke from the village or–or maybe it was paint!
There was no humor in what laid before you that night. Your parents lay slumped over, almost like they were sleeping. Kagami laid propped up against the wall, seated perfectly on the floor with his head tucked into his chest. Your mother’s head lay in his lap, her torso twisted at an awkward angle, legs sprawled. 
Tears cloud your vision immediately. You could feel your knees wobble and buckle, seemingly too heavy for yourself all of a sudden. You fell forward, hands and knees catching you and making a sickening squelch. You realize the stickiness soaking into your skirt was blood, the dark red blood of your parents. You scream. It’s more of a wail, your entire body wracked with emotion so strong, your eyes begin to burn. It hurts, it gives you a headache, and when you force your eyes open again, the world looks different. It felt…slower. You can see a glistening trail of what you can identify as chakra, it glows all over the house, coming in through a window and leaving through the front door. This had happened before, when Shisui died. Your sharingan was activated for the first time. This was different, it felt like a new level. You pull yourself up, running at the door. You throw it open and run into the street, tracking the chakra house to house where you only find more slumped over bodies. The entire clan, everyone…they’re gone. They’ve been slaughtered, every last one. You can’t bear it when the chakra trail leads you down Sasuke’s path, knowing you would find the last of your home in there. You never got to make amends, never got to reunite. Sasuke would be dead, just like everyone else you ever cared for. 
You’re stopped in your tracks when you see a figure in the street, you notice glowing red eyes, the pattern so familiar you couldn’t help but gasp. “I-itachi?” Your chin wobbled, the tears coming back as you ran closer, relieved to find someone alive, someone you know. 
“Back away, child.” His voice thundered, it chilled you to the bone. He had never spoken to you like that. 
“Itachi, it’s m-me! Y/N, you know me! I-I’m scared Itachi!” You plead with him, the new vision of yours highlighting the blood on his clothes the closer you got to him. 
“The second tomoe..” He revered, a nod of approval following, just as quick as it came, the familiarity left. He was icy again when he spoke, “You should be scared. You’ve realized what I’m capable of.” 
You fall back, astonished. This couldn’t have been, no, you refuse to believe such a thing. Itachi wasn’t…capable of this? He looked as if he was going to speak again, but another figure moving rapidly towards you grabbed his attention. It was Sasuke, alive after all. 
“I don’t believe it!” Sasuke said, tears streamed down his face, “This is too unlike you, Big Brother. I mean…” He looked around wildly, finding solace in your presence, relief. You couldn’t help the tears, the same relief he had coursing through your own mind. Itachi had spared you both, but why?
“You have the potential to become my opponent.” He directed his voice to his younger brother, ignoring you completely for the time being. “You are someone who could be able to use Mangekyo Sharingan just like me…” The wind blew ceremoniously, whipping up leaves from the ground and sacrificing them to the sky, to the full moon that was the only light to go by. “However, on one condition…that you must kill your closest friend..Just like I did.” His gaze flickers to you then, making Sasuke’s eyes widen. 
Sasuke gasps, as do you. Itachi really did kill Shisui. He has now killed your entire family. Your brother, his best friend, died senselessly to the little brother he never had. You were wrecked, this realization makes your head spin, the boy you’ve known since birth…Itachi Uchiha was a cold blooded killer, and your life was forever destroyed because of him. 
“That was…your doing?” Sasuke’s brows knit together in shock and confusion. “Big Brother, you…killed Shisui?” 
“That’s right…and because of that I obtained these eyes.” Itachi replied stone-faced. As if you needed the confirmation, but hearing the words from his very mouth absolutely ruined whatever remained of your soul. You felt your eyes burn once again, the vision skewing, leaving you momentarily blind before you blinked and everything was clear again. It was clearer than before, you could sense the movements of two brothers before they did them, this shouldn’t be possible. You had just awoken your second tomoe minutes earlier, had you already gained the third through this extreme emotional distress? There was rigorous training involved to level up your eyes, you could feel the drain it put on your body as it began to sway in the wind, feeling light. You couldn’t hold on much longer, you knew that, but you were in danger…and so was Sasuke, you had to fight for consciousness. 
“If you attain these eyes, you will become the third person including myself to utilize the Mangekyo Sharingan. However,” He turns abruptly, startling you both. “Neither of you are worth killing. And one day, Sasuke, when you have the same eyes I do…come and stand before me!” Itachi challenges, his eyes swirling into his familiar triangular pattern. 
“And you…” Itachi says, beckoning you forward with the point of his finger. “Come here, child.” He says, issuing an order. Sasuke makes a strangled struggling noise before he falls to the ground, the emotional distress leveling his eyes too fast as well. He was in a genjutsu, you realize, by the sounds he was making on the ground, crying out in agony. 
“Let him out of that! I’ll go with you, I won’t fight. Let him out.” You plead, not in the position to make any demands yourself. Even fighting wouldn’t get you out of this, Itachi was far too powerful, you could never hope to escape. 
Itachi chuckled dryly and shook his head. “No. He needs this. He will foster hatred and turn it into immense power. You…you have to be hidden.” He says, his voice in a dream-like state. He was thinking deeply, wondering what he should reveal to you. Enough to keep you alive, and nothing more. “You will stay away from Sasuke…until it’s time. No one can know your identity. It’s imperative you understand this, child.” He says, and if you didn’t know any better you would think he was panicked. Itachi kept calling you that, child, as if he were not. He was only 14, but he clearly felt much older. 
You were confused, but didn’t even know where to start asking him questions. He didn’t wait for a response, just sweeping you up in his arms and jumping from rooftop to rooftop until he was in the trees with you, Sasuke long abandoned on the outskirts of the village. Itachi was taking you somewhere, apparently to be hidden. “Itachi-san–please, I’m scared, I don’t understand!” 
“You need to be scared! You have to understand. Force yourself to. They can’t know that I left you alive, they know Sasuke will live…they can’t know that you do as well…it would be most troublesome…” Itachi explains without explaining a single thing. Who are “they”, and what involvement do they have in this? “A male and a female Uchiha could save the clan, they will not let that happen. I owe this to Shisui.” Itachi says quietly, dropping down in front of someone’s door. 
A man opens the door before Itachi can make a single noise. He was waiting for Itachi, you realize. 
“Here she is.. Train her to be strong, stronger than you. Keep them apart, keep them safe.” Itachi pleads, or as close to it as he can get. He sets you down, letting you see your new caretaker for the first time. 
“I understand, Itachi. It’s best if you get a move on, they’ll be on your scent soon.” The taller man says, the cover of the night obscuring your vision of him. 
Itachi nods, taking one last look at you with a trace of pain in his eyes. You look down at your feet, not sure what to make of the situation, everything happened so fast. “Thank you, Captain.” Itachi says with a curt nod before disappearing into a puff of smoke. 
It was silent. The wind blew again, whipping your hair into your face and pushing the clouds across the moon like it was a normal night. You begin to cry, everything so overwhelming you couldn’t help but do anything else. You’ve lost everything. Your family is dead, every single one. You, the sole survivor, have been placed with a stranger by the very man that murdered everyone you love. The last person alive that you care for is trapped in a genjutsu, lying on the pavement outside the house of his murdered family. 
The man crouched down to be on your level. He looked young, but you couldn’t really tell. His face was mostly covered, his shinobi headband covering his left eye and a black mask pulled over the lower half of his face. The most notable thing about him was his tall and spiky gray hair. His one brown eye looked at you sadly, and at once you knew he understood. You felt more at ease nearly immediately. You were still wary, after all he seemingly knew what was going on and had worked with Itachi. But the look in his eye and the expressive way he puts his hands on either arm of yours makes you feel safer. He knew sadness too, you recognized it in him. 
“Hello, little one. I know this has been…a horrible night, to understate…but you’re strong. You’re safe now, I’m Kakashi, and I’ll make sure of that.” He nodded determinedly, searching your expression for your next move. He frowns under his mask as you cry, unsure of how to console a young girl at his age of twenty two years. 
“What’s wrong with your face?” You ask, sniffling out your sentences and wiping viciously at your eyes. Your mind was all over the place, you didn’t want to think of this night anymore but the only other thing you could ponder was why the man in front of you dressed like that. 
He chuckled earnestly. “Oh!” He pushed his headband up to reveal a long scar running lengthwise over his eye and down his cheek to where the mask starts, but most strikingly a sharingan sat in the eye he kept covered. The sharingan consumes a massive amount of chakra for non-Uchiha wielders, so you gather that the eye was given or stolen almost immediately. 
“That’s partially why he left you with me. I can help with some of your training. You’re in luck, little one. The Hokage has just released me to be a jonin Sensei. So you’ll get first class training living with me. I…I know I can’t replace what you’ve lost, or hell..even understand what you’re going through.” Kakashi slipped his mask down just for you in this moment, wanting to earn the trust of his new foster child. “I will protect you and make you strong, smart, and ready for this world. It’s you and me now. I set up a room for you..” he adds rather sheepishly, sliding his mask back up after a nervous smile. “We can..make changes to it as time goes on, I wasn’t sure what would best be suitable for a girl of your age.”
You blink at him,eyes still bleary from leftover tears. You wipe at your eyes, your own sharingan taking in his full appearance and making a mental note. His half-baked motivational speech was partly moving, and you could tell he was genuine in this. You tilt your head to the side to analyze him further. He was young, taking on a six year old at his age was surely difficult. He was nervous, you could see that much, but his chakra was powerful and in a way, calming. 
“What about Sasuke?” You managed as he opened the door to his place. 
Kakashi sighs. “He will be taken care of, don’t worry. We have to keep you separate for now, it’s for the best. When you start school it may be different. Do you remember what Itachi said?” He asks, partly wondering what all the boy even told you. 
You nod. “He said they can’t know he left me alive. I don’t know who they are though.” You say, feeling everything all the time all at once. Pain, numbness, sadness, fear, nervousness and wonder. Your eyes were wide and your sharingan kept glowing, a red beacon in the dark night. You looked inside the home, small and neat. It looked like…a real place, which surprised you for some reason. With the night’s events it was becoming difficult to predict what would happen next, in your mind he was going to open the door to a slaughterhouse or some medical lab for testing. You were relieved to see it was a completely normal apartment. The young man led you to a decently sized bedroom right across the hall from the bathroom. It was decorated haphazardly, pink cherry blossom wallpaper was slapped on the wall, a little bed covered up with pink blankets sat in the middle of the room. There was even a closet outfitted with a few changes of clothes, luckily regularly colored. It was a nice effort, you recognized. It was natural for any young man to assume a six year old girl would love pink. Your favorite was green. It reminded you of rolling down hills and the bushes you would pluck fruit from, the trees the sun peeked over, the tricycle your brother built…and Sasuke’s was purple. 
“I hate pink.” You say solemnly, feeling bad almost immediately, he had tried to think of your comfort and here you were, being rude. “B-but it looks nice! Thank you…” You looked to him a bit confused on how you should address him. 
“Kakashi, that’s fine for now.” He rubbed the back of his head nervously, feeling a bit embarrassed for giving you a stereotypical girl room. It was clear that there was nothing to be assumed about you. “What color do you prefer, in that case? I can work on a replacement tomorrow.” Kakashi offered with a closed-eyed smile. 
“Purple.”
Tumblr media
Kakashi followed through on his promise. The next time you went into your room, the walls were painted a deep plum, the covers that decorate your bed were as purple as the evening sky after the sun had left, and on a table you noticed a few more trinkets and accessories. There were hair ties and clips, little earrings and a purple headband. He heard the word purple and ran with it. Kakashi wasn’t sure why he displayed all this effort, well he had an idea.
He had knocked against your open door, just to alert you to his standing there. You still looked so sad. It had only been a day after all. At least you had stopped crying, he would happily take the progress. He leaned against the doorway, arms folded over his chest. “I hope some of those things make you feel a little more at home, Kurenai helped me pick them out…” He mentioned, once again, scratching at the back of his head nervously.That was his nervous tick, you noted. 
“Thank you, they’re pretty..” You say with a small smile, reaching for the headband and slipping it over the long black locks signature of your clan, luckily it was also a common characteristic of the citizens of the Stone village. That’s the story, anyway. Kakashi found you on a mission while in Iwagakure. You were newly orphaned, and had no one else to take you in. Which, now that you think about it, isn’t much of a lie at all. You were new to the Leaf village, and Kakashi was your young and kind foster father. It gave him a reason to change, and he didn’t know if he liked that yet; he did know that he wanted you to grow into a powerful kunoichi, and he had no doubt you could accomplish that. 
He cleared his throat. “You know, Y/N…I..” He hesitated, wondering if it was worth mentioning at this moment. He sighed out and continued. “I lost my father when I was six, as well. I don’t pretend to know everything you feel, but I do understand some of your pain. You can talk to me, when or if you ever want to. I’ll listen.” 
You look to your feet, the tears pooling in your eyes again. His kindness was overwhelming at times, you hadn’t expected him to be so warm. He just retired from the Anbu after all, and you were old enough to know what that meant. You nod your head after a minute, picking up a purple fuzzy stress ball. You squeeze down, finding it helps temporarily. 
“Mhm, I will..thank you for being here.” You mutter out after a few beats.  
“A-Alright. We’ll go out for dinner around 7. I’ll come get you.” Kakashi hummed pleasantly, touched by your gratefulness.
You were thankful that you wound up with someone like Kakashi. Last you’d heard, Sasuke was set up in a nice apartment, well taken care of and monitored by Lord Third himself. But he was alone, and that worried you. He was sure to become a cold shadow of the former joyous boy he had been, just as you are. But even you had another person around, someone to at least distract you from the constant pain. Sasuke didn’t have that, he didn’t even know if you were alive. The last thing he saw was his older brother sweeping you up and leaving with you. 
The purple made you feel better. It helped you feel just a little closer to where he was. You hoped he would make friends with the kids in his building, if there was any. You hoped he could power through and find happiness in the little things. Would he try to remember you? Find you, even? Your heart ached, you physically covered it with your hand and winced.  
You decided you hate Itachi. That you would do everything and anything it took to get to him and kill him. You came from a powerful line of the clan too, Shisui was a prodigy and the youngest to ever awaken his sharingan before you did it at four from his death. You committed, promised yourself in Kakashi’s apartment that you would train until your eyes bled, you would master genjutsu just as Shisui had, you would master chakra control. You would learn everything Shisui had mastered, and you would kill Itachi the same way he had killed your brother. 
Little did you know that Sasuke had made himself the same promise. He would avenge his family, your brother in your honor, he would become a worthy opponent and he would use Mangekyo to kill the man that had caused all this pain. 
He was beyond lonely, there was no word to describe the hell he was living. He relived his parents’ death again and again, trapped in a genjutsu by his older brother. But the nightmare was reality. He had no one, everything was destroyed. The only person left was missing at best, dead at the worst. Even once he was released from the genjutsu’s chakra control, the only thing burned into his eyelids was the scene of his parents' slaughter. The only thing he can hear is the sound of your tears as Itachi admits to killing your brother, it’s miserable. 
 Why did Itachi spare them both, did he really just want to fight? Well, Sasuke could give him that. He couldn’t wait to start the academy, to refine his talents and find a rival and friend that could fulfill his needs for the Mangekyo Sharingan his brother wants him to have so badly. There wasn’t a reality that existed where he would kill you for it, as his brother insinuated. He was sure that his new friends would suffice, when the time came. 
Tumblr media
Kakashi had arranged for him to proctor your bypass exam the following year. The rules for the Academy aren’t concrete, and you were a prodigy after all. Kakashi stressed your physical prowess and shadow clone jutsu to get you through the Academy in just one year, passing your genin exam easily. 
Over time, your numbness had resided. You found yourself motivated by revenge and desire for rebuilding what was taken from you. Kakashi was a friend and mentor, and he helped you train your eyes and genjutsu regularly. He had to, as you weren’t allowed to display this power outside of the training grounds with no one else around. You had to train harder over the next few years, both your sharingan abilities and those you would use to cover your identity. 
Kakashi and yourself had landed on a plant style jutsu, where you could summon different plants, both poisonous and strangling variations. It reminded many of Hashirama Senju’s wood style jutsu. Your chakra control was impressive, and your inclination toward medical nin was just another tool in your arsenal. You owe most of this to your mentor, who, so far, has followed through on his promise to make you as strong as he can. 
He was impressed by you, a prodigy indeed. It was no surprise you were Shisui’s younger sister. He wondered how you could have absorbed so much from him since he passed when you were so young, now a girl of twelve. He can’t believe he’s had you in his charge for six years now, and how you’ve grown in that time. He cared for you like his own child, even though he was not much older than a kid himself when he decided to take you in. 
It was hard work, especially now. He had been assigned as Sasuke’s sensei, along with two other promising shinobi. He was splitting most of his time between his new team and the child he’s been training for years. He found it hard to hand you over to Kurenai, even though the woman was somewhat familiar with your delicate case. She didn’t know your true identity, as Kakashi would never risk that knowledge to anyone, but she had helped Kakashi with the more delicate matters of your girlhood your entire life. He had kept you in his own training since you graduated the academy, it was time for you to join a team and attempt the chunin exams. He knows you’ll pass easily, so why is it that he’s so nervous? 
Because he knows the days of keeping you and Sasuke apart are over. He knew he wouldn’t be able to prevent it forever, but he wasn’t ready for you to revisit that time in your mind. He didn’t wan your hard work to crumble once you faced your old friend again, under the guise of an adopted Hatake. Would Sasuke call you out immediately? He hadn’t been given the same warnings to stay away, as far as Kakashi knew. The boy was angry, and he was boiling over with immense talent. He had been working with the boy on chidori and other sharingan practices that he had once done with you.  Kakashi knew that there was nothing he could do to prevent Sasuke from seeking revenge, and it bothered him…deep down inside he knew you were the same way, your anger tamed to your own mind. You were quiet all the time, your chakra a lime green–just a few shades lighter than your brothers. He could feel your emotions and recklessness bubble inside you. It was just a matter of time, but the seasoned shinobi worried what would come of the girl once she was faced with the Lone Uchiha, and what would come of him when he saw her. 
Tumblr media
You were first. The beginning match was you against a girl named TenTen. You thought she looked silly. Ridiculous, almost. Her speciality was weapons, you heard her talking about it as all the chunin hopefuls piled into the colosseum type building. As far as you could tell, she had no special control of chakra or any impressive jutsu. This would be over quickly. 
The two of you stepped forward, the sound of your first name making Sasuke’s heart stop. He looked over at the scene, brows knitting together in confusion. His teammates, Naruto and Sakura started whispering about the match. But they truly don’t know how to whisper, Sasuke tuning into their every word. Y/N? Hatake…? It looked like you, at least close to what he could remember. But you were definitely an Uchiha, and surely he would have known if you were living in the village this whole time?
“Kakashi Sensei’s daughter?” Naruto asked with a sense of disbelief. “I didn’t know Kakashi Sensei had a family!” He adds.
Sakura slaps him lightly on the arm. “He rescued her from the Stone! She was six when her parents died and the villagers were just too busy to take care of her, that’s what I heard.” 
Sasuke arched his brow in curiosity. Kakashi really hadn’t mentioned you, and the way you walked around the battle ring piqued his interest. You were confident, cocky even. You let TenTen throw a few exploding kunai at you, easily outjumping them. You weren’t using sharingan, he noted, but there was no mistaking that smirk. That truly hadn’t changed a bit, your features easily identifiable to him. It seems like Kakashi attempted bleaching your hair at one point, but it had grown out now. You had dark black roots, your eyes big and dark brown. It was you, there was no argument to be made otherwise. You chuckled at TenTen, making her scrunch her nose up in anger. She charged at you with another kunai. You grasped her wrist, quickly turning it and making her drop the weapon, kicking her hard in the stomach, sending her flying through the air. 
The crowd gasped, knowing the other girl would be seriously hurt if she landed on the hard ground from that height, the power of your chakra control something to be feared. You closed your eyes and weaved a hand sign. Out of nowhere, a giant lilypad caught TenTen, keeping her from serious harm. As the crowd sighed with relief, everyone watched more vines burst free from the ground, tying the opponent to the lilypad without any fuss. 
Needless to say, you won the match effortlessly. Kakashi took a deep breath of relief, wandering over to his own team of hopefuls. 
Sasuke stared at you, watching you help TenTen out of the plant trap once the winner was announced. He didn’t even notice Kakashi coming up behind them. 
“Certainly an exciting first match!” Their sensei said with delight, as if he didn’t know anything about you and was just as surprised as everyone else. 
Naruto nodded with widened eyes before remembering that Kakashi hadn’t mentioned being a father. “Hey, Kakashi Sensei, how come you didn’t tell us you adopted that girl?” 
Sasuke tore his studying gaze away from you to hear the answer to this. 
Kakashi shrugged. “It never came up, of course. My job is to train you as shinobi, not teach you my life story.” He replied coolly, as if they were unreasonable for wondering. 
Sasuke narrowed his gaze at Kakashi, identifying that there was more to the story. There was something he was missing, why would they change your name and try to hide your hair? Why would Kakashi be involved? He needs to find you and ask you himself, because he clearly wasn’t getting anywhere with his sensei. 
But how could he be certain you would talk to him? The last memory you share is his brother basically saying he kept you alive so that he could kill you later. Maybe you were trying to distance yourself from him specifically. Maybe you didn’t know he was here just as much as he didn’t know you were. It was his turn to fight next, but he planned to track you down after the battle was quickly won. You beat TenTen in 18 seconds, his goal was to beat that time. Then he would just have to make you understand that he wasn’t a threat to you. 
He beat your time by six seconds, dismantling Choji Akimichi in 12. You smiled to yourself as you watched him, he was very good. Just as you hoped. It would always hurt to stay apart, you realized then. He surely recognized you from your fight, so now you had to work to keep him away. Just as the battle was wrapping up, you pushed through the crowds, getting stopped by some of the girls your age. You had briefly talked to some of them, but you didn’t care to now. You had to get away, distance yourself. He would surely come looking for you. 
“Y/N-chan! Who do you think the hottest boy here is?” Ino asks, a beautiful blond girl with a ditsy grin. 
You roll your eyes at the question. “Really, that’s what you’re worried about right now?” You ask, confused by her priorities. You turn your head, noticing people parting a little down the way, knowing what that means you turn back to the girl. 
Ino giggles and nods. “I’m a great multi-tasker! I know all the girls are dying to get closer to Sasuke Uchiha!” She purrs, cheeks turning red at the mention of his name. 
You sigh, with forced disgust you groan. “I for one don’t want to be anywhere near Sasuke Uchiha.” You say, folding your arms and walking onwards, hoping the digging comment would keep Sasuke at arms length. 
You should know better than to think yourself lucky. You feel a weight on your shoulder, keeping you from getting away. 
“Why would you say that?” He asked, voice on the quiet side as he stared at your back. Your hair was wavier than it was when you were younger, or maybe it was just because it was so long. 
You scoff. “I don’t owe you anything.” 
It was his turn to scoff. “Y/N Hatake?” He practically hisses at you. “I think you owe it to me to explain why you’re not using your sharingan.” 
You turn and clap your hand down over his mouth. Your eyes are wide with a frenzied type of fear, searching around to make sure no one heard him. “Don’t say that. You don’t understand.” 
He pushed you off him easily, looking at you with a mix of frustration and confusion. “No I don’t understand because no one tells me anything! I didn’t even know you were in the village!” He says angrily. 
You bite the inside of your lip, debating your options. Maybe it would be easier to explain it all, maybe if he could understand why this was happening he could play his role and you could both stay safe. You know that would help put Kakashi at ease. 
“Come with me.” You order pointedly, walking out of the building with the knowledge that you had at least twenty minutes until your next battle. You keep walking, far away from the building or any people.
Sasuke follows you into the treeline, mind racing. He didn’t know what to expect. He eyes you with his sharingan, noticing your abundance of chakra and power. He blinks his doujutsu away.
 “Now.” He orders expectantly, folding his arms over his chest. 
“I don’t know why…” You admit with a shrug, thinking back to what Itachi said that night, both about Mangekyo and how important it is to keep away from Sasuke. “But when Itachi took me away, he said ‘they’ couldn’t know that he spared me, that it was dangerous to have a male and a female. He said it was imperative for us to stay away from each other, “until it is time.” I’m not sure what that means, really. But Kakashi agrees…there’s more to this that I don’t even know.” You explain cautiously, your eyes trained on the boy in front of you. He hadn’t changed much, except for the most striking thing. His features were haunted by grief, the once happy and smiling eyes turned cold and empty. You wonder if he thinks the same of you. 
“I would never hurt you.” He says simply, a hint of annoyance laced through it. 
You blink at him a few times, unsure of how to respond. “I’m not scared of you.” You clarify for him, looking at a spot on the ground. “I’m scared of the ‘they’ Itachi was worried about.”
He considers this, looking at the same spot on the ground that you are, as if there were hidden answers stored there. “So that’s why Kakashi Sensei never mentioned you, then. He doesn’t want me around you.” He determines, the annoyance gone and replaced with a hint of sorrow. 
“It’s not a personal grudge, he knows how hard it’s been on me…” You defend softly, the corners of your lips dropping. “Until we know who I’m hiding from, I have to stay under cover like this. I’m sorry..”
His body tensed with anger, you could tell he was close to snapping. “I want revenge, I swear I’ll kill him, I’ll kill him for what he did to me, what he did to you!” He announces, eyes teeming with tears of anger. “We can get revenge together, we can find and destroy those that caused this, and you can live as an Uchiha, like you’re supposed to! You can’t be a kunoichi without your sharingan!” 
You sympathize with his pain, after all, you feel the same way. His offer of revenge sounds nice, so you nod. “When the day comes where we are ready to seek revenge, I’ll accompany you.” You say, envisioning the two of you as jounin, ready to track Itachi down. 
He smiles when he hears this. “Until then.” He says, taking another look at you. If he wasn’t so damned angry, his heart would be relieved to see your familiar face, just a few years older. You were utterly unchanged, even the grief written into your face seemed to disappear when you smiled. He would keep his distance like you requested, until it was time to enact revenge. 
You wait for Sasuke to disappear back into the treeline before you begin to walk back to the arena. It would be your turn soon, and you intend to impress–without your sharingan–just to prove how powerful you really can be. 
By the end of your second match against Sakura, the crowd of other expecting chunin whispered amongst themselves. It really wasn’t her fault, she was like the others. She was completely unfocused on being strong, only desiring to look desirable. It’s a shame, you hoped she would change after this. Your Venus Flytrap jutsu was too much against any opponent, she was just its latest victim. Your giant flower sprouts from the ground and grabs the unsuspecting opponent in its teeth, releasing venom on your command. You wouldn’t take it that far unless you wished to kill. You make a few hand signs, “Release!” You call, letting Sakura tumble from the mouth of your monstrous flytrap. 
Still the crowd spoke of your victories, all quick and painless. You were surely impressive, and it was no wonder you graduated to genin in a year, just like your adoptive father. “You can tell she’s trained by Kakashi Sensei.” Someone said as you walked past, shaking their head in wonder. 
“She’ll be another heartless Anbu member in no time, just like her dad.” Someone else declared, linking your emotionless victories back to Kakashi’s vicious streak. You wanted to lash out in his defense, but maybe it’s better if they thought that of you. It’s good for them to compare you, as if you were related the whole time. It kept them from thinking anything was off, so you’d take it for now. 
Sasuke was thoroughly impressed with your abilities, though he’d likely never say so aloud. Naruto was also occupying his mind as his rival was also the other popular subject amongst his classmates. Naruto won all of his battles that day, all his classmates plus the mysterious Y/N Hatake made it to chunin. 
Tumblr media
Things only spiraled from that day. Kakashi relaxed a little when you told him that Sasuke understood why you needed to keep your distance. He didn’t mind for his team to interact with you as much now, but Sasuke did. 
He hated being close to you while not being able to be close to you. That annoying Naruto was quickly becoming a close friend to you, leaving Sakura to obsess over him. Needless to say he hated everything about that arrangement. He didn’t want Naruto near you in the slightest, and he hated pathetic girls like Sakura. He hated everyone, no one seemed to understand. He was training for a real goal, meanwhile the others just wanted to be cool. He wanted more, he needed more. He would never relinquish this goal. He would never admit that Naruto was stronger than him, even if it meant he had to leave to become stronger. 
You told him that you would go with him, right? That when the day came, when he was ready to seek revenge, you would go with him. That’s what you said. So Sasuke was loud about his plans, he didn’t care to put Naruto down when he tried to stop him from leaving that day. 
Even when Kakashi explained to him that revenge was not all he thinks it is, he was undeterred. The emotions swirling inside him, the life that was stolen away…he had to get that back. And if Kakashi wouldn’t help him do it, then he would find someone who will. 
Sakura tried to stop him too, right on the edge of the village. The two of you sprinted there when you heard, Sakura a mess of tears, you a mess of nerves and emotion. 
You watched with your mouth agape as Sakura begged him not to go, only met with fierce rebuttals and disapproval from the Lone Uchiha. She even offered to go with him, which evoked a warped laugh from the dark haired boy. 
He was different. Completely consumed by his grief and desire for justice. He wasn’t thinking properly, and your heart dropped when you saw several shinobi from a different village drop from the trees. They’re here as escorts?
“Sasuke!” You shout in disappointment. “You’ll make yourself an enemy of the Leaf, just settle down and think about this for a minute, please!” You step forward, past Sakura and her unyielding tears. 
He chuckled with mirth. “This is all I can think about, Y/N. I refuse to let Sakura join me on this, she’ll just ruin her name.” He groaned, appearing behind the girl and knocking her out in a swift motion, laying her body on a bench. You eye him in disbelief. He was serious about this. You didn’t doubt your ability to stop him by force, excepting the three or four sound village ninja that would surely interfere. 
He looks at you with a crazed glint in his eyes. He holds out his hand to you. “Are you ready to go?”
You look from his hand and then back to him, shaking your head in shock. It’s that curse mark, you think to yourself. This isn’t him, he just needs to see that. “Sasuke, you’re being controlled. You’re not thinking clearly.” 
His mouth drops open in surprise. “Oh on the contrary, dear Y/N. I’m thinking clearly for the first time!” He protests, staring at you with disgust. “You told me you wanted revenge too, you told me you’d join me!” 
“I thought you meant when we were finished training! As Jounin! I didn’t think you meant defecting!” You defend yourself, thinking of Naruto’s heartbreak once he discovered that he wasn’t able to keep Sasuke. 
“Pathetic.” Sasuke hissed, shaking his head at you. “You’re weak. That’s why you can’t bring yourself to leave. You know you can’t take revenge, I wouldn’t want you weighing me down anyway.” He spat, his words cut like a knife. 
“Please don’t do this. They’ll send people after you! You can’t do this by yourself..” You plead desperately, hoping against all hope that you could get to the friend you once held so dearly. 
“Watch me.” He says, casting one last disappointed glare over his shoulder before walking to the shinobi waiting to guide him away. 
You watch him leave, the figures disappearing into the trees without a trace. You didn’t even notice the tears begin to roll down your face, nor did you hear Naruto and Kakashi land on either side of your body. 
“Wh-what just happened, Y/N-chan?” Naruto asked innocently, trying to delude himself against the truth before he even heard it. 
“Sasuke left the Leaf.” You reply, eyes fixated on the spot he last occupied in front of you. He was bound to be tracked down or hurt by someone dangerous before he could come to his senses. Had you upset him so badly that he would speak of your secret? Kakashi seems to know what you’re thinking as you make eye contact. You knew he wasn’t thinking clearly, the curse…you can get him, bring him back and have the mark removed. 
“I can catch him if I go now..”

Do you ship Neji with anyone?
Hehe. I answered this once but I'll definitely talk more on it. I love Shikamaru/Neji, and considering I published fic for them as recently as of 2021 those feelings are still going strong. Generally I prefer my ships to have a little more, er, content, but they captured my imagination so what can I say ...
If my followers will forgive me for getting indulgent for a spell, there's something very charming about how, in the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, Neji is keeping up with Shikamaru.
Tumblr media
When they're trapped by Jirobo, Neji seems a little surprised by Shikamaru's false surrender, but keeps quiet. Now he's not a loudmouth like Kiba and Naruto, but he's also not shy about speaking his mind. However, between his own observational skills, a likely respect for the command structure, and Choji's words, he doesn't interfere. He's then right in step with Shikamaru and Choji when the plan starts.
Tumblr media
Neji then explains that he observed everything Shikamaru did (that the prison recovered from Kiba's attacks at different rates) and why Shikamaru spoke to the enemy and so on. We expect Choji to work well with Shikamaru 'cause they're besties, but Neji was essentially a stranger to them and he's right there with them because he can get why Shikamaru does what Shikamaru does.
When they break free, Neji briefly assumes command to stop Kiba and Naruto from attacking while Shikamaru is busy thinking of another solution. Shikamaru names Neji his second-in-command -- and I know it didn't come up earlier because it wasn't relevant to the story, but in a more Watsonian perspective, it seems like Shikamaru should have done this at mission start. Neji is the shinobi with the most experience there. So did Shikamaru just assume they wouldn't have to split up or he wouldn't die (optimistic) or would he prefer to evaluate someone's leadership potential before trusting the lives of his buddies to them? I'm more inclined to believe the latter.
From all this we gather that they're both intelligent, observant people who quickly gain a mutual respect of each other when asked to work together. I happen to be a big fan of relationships between people who are both strong-willed and opinionated leader types. Yes, they can clash, but so long as they're respectful of each other there's so much potential for an interesting dynamic to explore.
They're also both lowkey people with compatible lowkey hobbies (cloud gazing & bird watching, napping & meditating) who I think could just relax together, though Neji's got a more active personality to keep some of that spark and spice. Neji needs some relaxation in his life ... Shikamaru can be very tender and emotionally intelligent if he feels like it, and Neji could use that too. What does Shikamaru need? Someone who is unafraid to challenge him, haha.
In fact, figuring out what Shikamaru wants (answer: a hardass with a nice smile) is easy because we see it in canon, but what about Neji? That, my friends, is a separate post I will make because I get very sidetracked from just gushing about my little rarepair.
Thank you for the question! ♥ In the end, I stand by my opinion that so long as Neji is getting some love all's fair! I've read or at least seen art of every Neji ship that exists I'm pretty sure … I just want good things for him. ✌️ Also, if you want to talk more specific shippy stuff, feel free to hit me up on my Naruto sideblog @hallwaydodge!

What would the warlords with Nobunaga, Leyasu, Mitsuhide, Yukimaru, Hideyoshi and Kenshin oh also Montoari ( can’t spell his freaking name 😭 )
Reaction to a Mc that knows nothing about Japanese culture
Hello! I can imagine the chaos that would be XD, thank you for requesting.
MC that knows nothing about Japanese culture.
Oda forces.
Nobunaga Oda.
It was a mess, you didn’t even know who he was when you two met. Even when he says that he is Oda Nobunaga, you will just stare at him for a while and then say “… who?”. Nobunaga will find it impossible for you to not know who he is, this will make him wonder if you could possibly be foreign. He will certainly be intrigued that you saved a complete stranger and doesn’t even know who he is after he told you his name.
Even after the truth is revealed, about you being from the future, he will still think it’s hard for you to not know him, since they would teach about him in classes. Nobunaga will arrange for you to have lessons on Japanese history (at least to that point of time). Sasuke would be much helpful though, since he would know more.
Hideyoshi Toyotomi.
His reaction, at first, will be confusion and frustration (since he will first suspect you of being a spy from the enemy), he will seriously wonder if you are just pretending to be ignorant or if you genuinely don’t know anything about Japanese culture. As he gets to know you, he will notice that you really don’t know anything, since you would often find yourself having trouble with work.
He will be very patient when teaching you everything you needed to know, he wouldn’t scold you or be harsh, but his teaching was a bit intense.
Mitsuhide Akechi.
Right from the start, he could tell you knew nothing of their culture. As we know, he will suggest to be your tutor right away, to try and test your skills, see if you were a commoner or possibly a daughter from a Daimyo. And… he will be surprised to see that you would fail everything. You didn’t know anything.
Well… he might as well teach you everything up to that point. Different from Hideyoshi, his teaching will be a bit harsh. Mitsuhide will try to make you know everything he taught you. He would tease you about giving a reward for getting his questions right or give you punishment for failing.
Ieyasu Tokugawa.
He is frustrated, right away. How is it that you don’t know things that are basic? You would need to ask him to teach you about Japanese culture, and it would be a little bit hard to convince him. He isn’t a patient tutor and wouldn’t repeat himself, so you would better take note of everything he said.
Despite everything, his teaching was really good, it would help you know everything about their culture, costumes etc. And as time goes by, he would become a softer teacher (a little bit).
Uesugi-takeda alliance.
Kenshin Uesugi.
At first he won’t notice, but eventually he will become more aware of that, sometimes raising an eyebrow when you made questions that, to him, were pretty obvious. Kenshin was quite knowledgeable, and he would be, surprisingly, a good tutor. He was much better at teaching sword fighting and at teaching his ninja spies.
Of course, he will take it easy with you and you won’t even notice that. Kenshin will answer all your questions as he gets closer to you.
Yukimura Sanada.
He will seriously question you about whether you are a real dummy or not, and that will naturally make you angry at him since you really didn’t know a thing about Japanese culture. He will always sigh when you ask about something you didn’t know, but he will always answer you. He will eventually stop being annoyed and will just answer you normally.
Will not be a good teacher, but will try his best to help you.
Lone forces.
Motonari Mouri.
Motonari is not only knowledgeable on Japanese culture and history, but he also knows from other countries (at least as much as a merchant would know). So he will wonder just how many flowers are growing in your head for you to not know anything. He won’t be a good tutor, and won’t try too.
He will, however, make someone else teach you. He will also answer your questions, as long as there aren’t too many.
