Nightingale - 51

Fandom: Naruto Pairing: Hatake Kakashi x Fem!OC Contents: Worry, angst, attempt at domestic fluff. Unproofed. A/N: My heart is not really in this fic anymore (among other reasons due to lack of reactions but mostly real life) so I’ll be rounding it up prematurely and retire it within a few chapters. Thanks for what likes and reblogs I’ve gotten so far.

Chapter 51

It’s not until he calms himself down enough to think that Kakashi realizes where his nightingale could have gone to. Quick and discreet, he makes his way through town to the water tower where he once met the mysterious girl...and finds it empty.

Shit! Then where?

There are several other elevated positions in or around town, but none of them that Uguïsu tends to frequent. So instead of throwing himself into a wild goose chase, he does the hardest thing: he goes home.

And waits.

And waits.

It’s nearly midnight when the door opens and closes with a whisper, barely audible over the soft huffing and puffing of the ninken.

“Uguïsu?” He barely believes it even though she’s standing right there. “Where have you been?” It comes out harder than intended and he sees her wince and the sharpness in his voice and still she takes her time to take off the shoes and put them neatly aside before turning to face him.

“I got your message,” she simply states, deadpan, as if that explains everything.

“Then why di-” Kakashi has to stop himself or he would end up raising his voice.

Instead of talking he takes in the woman before him. He notices the clenched hands and the thinly drawn lips, the furrow of her brow.  Suddenly, he realizes that it’s not defiance oozing from her pores but fear and yearning and he steps forward with the arms spread. Uguïsu steps right into the embrace and he feels her tremble.

None of them say anything for a while.

“I went to the meadow to think instead of doing something stupid,” Uguïsu eventually confesses.

Kakashi sighs. “I’m glad that’s what you did...but I would have liked to know.” He can feel the woman squirm a little and loosens his grip on her a little. “I was worried. Why didn’t you send Pakkun or one of the others to tell me?”

“...what would you have done if you knew?” she asks in return.

I see. “You needed the space and didn’t need me barging in on you.”

“Haï. Sorry.”

“No, it’s okay.” But in reality, it stings.

He knows that he’d have sought her out, knows he’d have come running as soon a he could. It’s uncanny to be called out like this. Kakashi would have sought her out out of concern, out of worry both for her safety but also to help her with whatever she must have been struggling with as she sat by herself in the clearing. He can see it in his mind: a lone woman sitting in the tall grass and wildflowers, hands balled into fists, unless she’s occupying them by braiding her hair over and over again. Pakkun and the others were there. And immediately the image adapts – fills up with dogs that are either keeping watch or keeping company – and it seems less lonely. Yes, she didn’t need me there...not this time.

“What do you need from me?” What can I do?

“Distract me,” she suggests. “Tell me about how your day was?”

Of course he complies, sparing no detail as he finally has a chance to reveal his true feelings of relief and concern to someone who might understand.

...

Kakashi wakes from the light slumber as Uguïsu slips out of bed. It’s still night and he can see little more than a shadow in the darkness.

“Can’t sleep?” he whispers to the retreating figure.

She pauses, then returns to sitting on the edge of the bed. “Didn’t mean to wake you...”

“It’s okay.”

“I keep thinking he’ll appear and take away everything I’ve finally got going for me.”

There’s no quake to the voice, just a plain matter-of-fact dullness that somehow is worse than a million tears would be.

Opening his arms, Kakashi motions for her to return to bed and she snuggles up close, allowing him to wrap her in his arms. And as they lie there for a moment, quiet in each others’ company, the world holds its breath.

“The thing is...” Uguïsu begins, “I don’t know how I’ll ever be free of him unless he dies...but I can’t kill him myself, I think.” Kakashi stays quiet as she searches for the right words. “There’s still some part of me that belongs to him...and I hate it...but he took me in and raised me when I had no one.”

“That was his doing though,” Kakashi argues gently.

“I know...but still. I didn’t know what he’d done for years. I thought -” she cuts herself off and exhales heavily before continuing -”but then I think of what might have been instead if he hadn’t come to my village...and I think of what I have now...and I hate him.”

Finally, there’s a passion to the voice, a seething anger that should rightfully be able to make plants shrivel up and birds fall dead from the sky. It makes every hair on Kakashi's body stand on end as a shiver races from the top of his head to the very tip of his toes. There it is. The righteous fury. The bitterness. The fear.

“One thing you’ve got now are friends who’d stand by your side,” the jōnin suggests.

Uguïsu turns her face towards him and this close he can see that there’s a single tear escaping a dark eye; a tear that Kakashi feels privileged to wipe away. “That’s why I think there’s a chance...but he must be taken down quickly...with one giant blow.”

I think the reason why Naruto fans get so passionate and upset about the series is because of how real it can be. Naruto isn’t about paragon heroes outdoing dastardly villains. It’s about human beings fighting tooth and nail to survive in a world surrounded by death. It’s about broken systems made and perpetuated by broken people.

The Hyuga clan isn’t just antagonistic or pretentious, they practice slavery.

The Uchiha clan weren’t just killed by some raging psychopath, they were systematically massacred.

Itachi isn’t just cruel to Sasuke because he’s a bad brother, he’s cruel because he’d been told time and time again that you can only survive by being cruel and he wants nothing more than for Sasuke to survive.

Nagato isn’t trying to take over the world just for the sake of power, he’s trying to take over the world because it beat him down to the point of believing that the only chance at peace there is is the world being forced into compliance through fear.

Iruka isn’t hard on Naruto just because he’s a strict teacher, he’s hard on Naruto because he knows from experience how unforgiving the world is towards orphans.

Kakashi isn’t just some silly and slightly lazy teacher, he’s a contract killer still grieving his loved ones and struggling to do better without knowing how he’s supposed to.

Sakura isn’t just a fangirl, she’s a normal girl in a very dangerous and abnormal world constantly being made to choose between what she’s supposed to do and what she feels.

Sasuke isn’t just some edgelord, he’s a survivor who lost everything then gets repeatedly told that he has to choose between keeping what he’s gained and doing better than his brother.

Naruto isn’t just trying to be the best Hokage there ever was, he’s trying to prove his worth to a society that abandoned him just for existing and, in a way, confirm his worth to himself.

The Naruto story is about humans trying to force themselves into the role of weapons because that’s what they were told they had to be. It’s a story where everyone is a perpetrator but no one is trying to do wrong. It’s a story where everyone is a victim but no one is a perfect victim.

The world and the characters aren’t simple and trying to simplify them only takes away from them. So of course we get passionate about showing off all the reasons why they shouldn’t be simplified and all of the ways they’re complicated. Of course we get upset when we see others simplifying them or selling certain aspects of their characters short. Of course we get upset when the series itself simplifies them. Of course we get upset when the series chooses to abandon them. Because it not only feels like the characters are giving up, it feels like the series is betraying anyone who chose to get invested in its complexities.

The Snowman Series!

Notes: Kakashi just wants to read in peace. Kid Kakashi wants his father to teach him the 'dog jutsu' as soon as possible. Maddy and Zetsu have made the Canonical Juubito Snowball (Kishi invented him first). It was Obito's last laugh that day... Sleeveless Obito's gonna bring a spicy Mugen Tsukuyomi. Shikamaru and Kakashi didn't bother to make a snowman ^^ Too troublesome 🙃 Winter-themed Naruto pics, initially created for some of my Tumblr friends! 💜 Thank you for making this year of my being in the fandom so much more fun and exciting and for all your support!

One of the nice commenters reminded me that many people don't see dark colors, so I added a version with a higher exposure

And of course, I’ll also leave the color sketches here There is something special about them, despite the fact that in general these are not full-fledged works In the last sketch, Kakashi is wearing Sakumo's scarf.

"It takes more than a headband and some flashy ninja moves and a name tag that says "Hello, I am a ninja" to become a ninja, Naruto"
