Hana’s ninken are the closest the Leaf has to a ninja therapist. They’re the whole village’s therapy dogs.

[naatsukashii]

@scnsei from HERE.

The pain throughout her body is miniscule compared to the pain in her heart. Nurses had brought Naruto into her room after she had demanded it, but she couldn’t hold him; she wouldn’t be allowed to lift anything until her wounds were healed. He was alive, though. He was alive and healthy and strong.

The same could not be said for her husband, whose funeral, she was told, was being handled by Hiruzen. He would be down to confirm, and she already had choice words picked out; she wouldn’t let him and the council decide how to handle Minato’s procession. Kushina knew she could figure it out, that she could handle it all on her own. (Without him.) She had to.

They had taken Naruto back to the nursery despite her protests, and she listens to the voices that come through the door. Whispers of ‘not now’ and ‘she needs rest’, but the sound of a sniffling child. Again, Kushina demands. (”Who’s outside?”) A student, her student: Iruka. He’d been waiting for her to wake up. “Let him in,” she demands. She had never had Minato’s grace or his way with people. They prop her up as much as they can and usher him in and stand watch from the corner.

His parents were dead, gone in the attack. She feels ill. The details were hazy, but she wasn’t a complete fool (and always rushed to take the blame), Kushina knew the attack was her own fault. Knew that word was spreading throughout the village that she had been the host of the Nine-Tails and they knew that Naruto was now. What a mess she and Minato had made.

A shuddering breath leaves dry lips, tears running down her own face. “I’m so sorry, Iruka. So, so sorry.” Finally, she cries. She had been awake for hours, hours that felt like days, weeks, months. The nurse that watches them steps a bit closer and when she suggests Iruka come back later, places a gentle hand on his shoulder, she nearly bolts up. Her expression shifts in a moment; from peace to anger, to white hot rage. 

“Get out!”

The nurse jumps, fear and shock evident, but she nods and hurries from the room. Kushina lays back with a sigh and the tears begin again. (Even her anger feels different without Kurama.) Her hand shakes when she reaches for him; rubs his head, but she lets him cry. It would do them both some good to feel this, she hopes. She can’t lie to him, she won’t tell him it’ll all be okay.

“You--You don’t need to know.” Her voice is hoarse, her body shakes and it hurts everywhere. Her hand is heavy and when she can’t keep it up anymore, she rests it against his head. “You’re gonna come stay with me...if you’d like that.” She gives him her best smile, but her lips still tremble. “You and me and Naruto.”

try and tell me minato didn’t introduce kushina to kakashi pretty quickly after taking him on as a student. it was chill for maybe 5-10 minutes tops before kushina just lost it and threatened to beat up a five year old.

[naatsukashii]

Not sure if sickest ninja or highest ninja 🤔

[naatsukashii]

me, creating the gekkō fam: i love them : ) me, remembering i’m killing all of them: : (

[naatsukashii]

i haven’t been here because i’ve been playing ff7 remake but cloud + aerith’s little high five interaction gave me kushina + kakashi feels:

kushina trying to high five him twice, but she can tell he’s clearly not into it so she drops it, but they complete a task together and kakashi, thinking she’s going to high five him raises his hand, but quickly stops because she didn’t start it like he thought she would, and she just

kushina: did you just--? kakashi: nope. kushina: we’ll get it right next time!! 

[naatsukashii]

i know kishimoto can’t keep his own story straight / character’s ages but hayate was in the academy with iruka, kotetsu, and izumo

[naatsukashii]

Hayate buys a plant every time he has a bad day and his little apartment if absolutely filled with them.

Unmute !

when she saw the three of them ( three, not four ), kushina was entirely convinced obito was playing some sort of prank on her. it hadn’t been uncommon for her to rearrange her schedule to welcome them home from missions, and she refused to put two-and-two together when they returned without him; he must have thought he was being funny, must have been trying to get a reaction out of her ( even if she knows he wouldn’t do something like that ).

she was so, so angry. angry she couldn’t do anything for him, angry she wasn’t there ( though there was no logical reason for her to have gone with them: she had her own missions, her own team to look after ). a lot of that anger she took out on minato simply because she had nowhere else to put it.

he tried to tell her, then and there at the gate in front of rin and kakashi, but she refused to listen; she cut him off when he dared to utter the word dead to her ( “do not say it !”, she barely remembers it, anger and grief all wrapped up in one, she had never known how to be subtle with her emotions. don’t tell me, don’t tell me. i don’t want to know, i can’t bear it. ). kushina avoided him for days, filling the time with her own team, with helping obito’s grandmother, with kakashi and rin.

she was up at night sobbing, curled up on their living room sofa where she had taken to sleeping when she was able to; it had thrown her whole worldview into chaos. ( “If we have a child…I want them to grow up to be just like Obito.” ) the complete anguish grips her so tightly she worries she’ll never be happy again, that it will overwhelm and drown her. losing obito was like losing every dream she’d ever had; she doesn’t want to think about a world without him in it, a world where her children were sent to fight and die. she wasn’t sure she could stand to lose another.

finally, after days of pushing him away, she crawls into bed next to minato, curls up against him, confesses that she is terrified of having children; that losing obito felt like someone had ripped her heart out and she wasn’t sure she’d ever recover from it.

@scnsei -- CONTINUED FROM HERE.

She let’s him finish. Cute, that he thinks he’s intimidating her. She’s known him too long, has been threatened by him enough to know that he’s full of shit. It’s a subject she treads lightly with Iruka--one she’s gentle about--one she waits for him to initiate (when they go through a rough patch, usually about 2 to 4 weeks after they’ve gotten back together, Hana is there to comfort him and tries not to say anything that could push him back into Mizuki’s arms : “I wish he were kinder to you...” has become her go to.)

Hana eyes him as he sits back, seemingly proud of himself over absolutely nothing. Idiot. Like she hadn’t heard that one before.

“ Don’t talk about him like that---calling him those little names. You know it hurts him. Makes you sound like a pigheaded asshole. ” The words come out calm, with a sigh; tired of dealing with him. She sets down her tea on the table, nudges it gently to her right.

It’s a subtle, slow movement. Her hand is lithe as she reaches across to him---until it isn’t. Nails sharpen, eyes narrow as she digs two fingers down the collar of his shirt and she yanks him forward. Inuzukas were not known for shying away from causing a scene, but she’ll wrap this up before Iruka returns.

Finally, she smiles at him, fangs protruding from behind lips and she leans forward so that they’re close.

“ I’ll talk slow so that you can follow-- ” her voice is kind and low, but it drips with venom. She’s half tempted to spit on him. “ Your business is my business when you treat my friend like that. ” The dogs at her feet have picked up on her tone, all three have lifted their heads and are peering at Mizuki. Saya bares his teeth as well, though he makes no sound.

“ You’ll be an ex again soon yet I will still be around. If you try and manipulate him into not seeing me-- ” she picks up a piece of meat left on her plat and drops it into Kaigara’s waiting mouth; his jaws close with a SNAP. “ you’ll be getting your food through a tube. How’s that sound ? ”

She pauses before she lets him go, leaning back, and picking another scrap out for Saya and Hikari. She picks up her tea again with one hand and pets Saya’s head with the other, uttering a soft, “ Good boy. ” at him with a smile.

Kushina talk about Naruto ? :)

@fightingdreamcrs | ASK MY MUSE HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT SOMEONE

“ My sunshine boy !! ” She sighs, dreamily; what couldn’t she say about her most wonderful boy, it would certainly be easier to discuss the things she didn’t feel towards him. “ He’s the love of my life, of course ! ” Hands are on hips, it was an insult to think of him being anything else to her. “ More than that, even...he’s everything.

I was worried in the beginning that he would be like me. I know I shouldn’t have thought like that. I would love him no matter what, ‘ttebane ! I just thought him not being like me would have been easier for him.

Minato is better at making friends and is more agreeable than I’ve ever been. I was good at picking fights and being loud when we were kids, and none of it ever helped me fit in. I didn’t want him to feel left out or weird like I did growing up, so him being more like Minato was the most obvious answer.

It made me happy that he looked like his dad ! I didn’t want him getting called stupid names like I was by some dumb snotty kids ! 

But, my Naruto is so much more than that. He’s more like me than I had ever thought he could be. I see so much of myself in him and it makes me so, so happy. Happier than I could have imagined. It seems so silly that I hadn’t wanted him to end up like me. All of those little things I didn’t like about myself I see in him and I love in him. They’re all perfect on him, they make him who he is and I love every part of who he is. He’s shown me that I can love those things about myself too.

We’re loud and overbearing with our love and our affection. He’s an Uzumaki at heart, like me and like Mito-sama. I know how much it hurts to care and love until every part of you feels raw, and it can be hard to understand when people don’t love in the same ways we do, but I’m so proud of everything he’s done, the person he’s become, the hardships he’s overcome. Naruto is kind and brave and wonderful and I love him more than anything else in this world. ”

How does Hana feel about tayuya?

@scnsei ( feat. @flutewield ) | ASK MY MUSE HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT SOMEONE

Of course he would ask her that. She had wondered how long it would take him to bring up the topic of his new adoptee. Hana doesn’t answer right away ( she rarely does; she needs the time to think before responding to questions like ‘ how do you feel about Tayuya ? ’ ). Lips pucker before she gives him a smile.

“ I wasn’t sure what to make of her at first. . . Kiba wasn’t happy when I told him you took her in. ” An unimportant detail in the scheme of things, but she’s stalling to better put her thoughts into words. She had never been one to let her brother’s opinion color her own, but she understood why he felt the way he did, given the outcome of their mission.

She’s thoughtful for just another moment, expression soft as she watches him. “ She’s a fine addition to the village; I worry, though. ” A sigh and she grows quickly concerned at the thoughts that enter her head. “ --not about her character, but about her. I...don’t know what she went through, ” she was confident that she didn’t want to know the details, either. 

“ But, I want her to be happy, to move on from it, whatever that may mean for her. Who knows how long that could take, or if she’ll ever be able to, but I want that for her more than anything else... I do enjoy her company. The triplets say they like her, too. ” Dark eyes drift down to where the three dogs lay at their feet. Part of her concern came from the way the brothers greeted Tayuya; bounding over to her almost immediately upon catching her scent, the way they often had to Iruka when they were children. The way they still liked to now on bad days. “ You know how they are with people, they can tell when someone needs them. They want to cheer her up. ” Saya is the first to lift his head when the discussion turns to them, and he’s on his feet, putting his head into Iruka’s lap; offering comfort.

“ She’s good, though, inside and out. Strong and dependable. All good traits of a fine kunoichi. She’s incredibly loyal to you. If it were to anyone else I’d say it was to a fault, but there’s no one better for her to look up to. Tayuya needs love, as Sensei would say. ”

A pause and she manages an embarrassed grin, cheeks burning red. “ I may have mentioned Mizuki to her...accidentally, of course. I’m pretty sure she was as ready as I was to...well, you know. It’s how I knew I liked her.

---If she wants to tag along with me on housecalls or come and sit in the clinic while I work I’d love to have her, and the boys would like it, too. It’s like having a little sister around. It’ll give her a chance to get to know more people in the village, too. ”
