2/29/24 Happy birthday, Kabuto-san!

[lizard-isms]

congratulations to deeply strange individuals with symbolically significant round frame glasses, identity issues, purple color-coding, and middle part bangs, who lie, have an eventual twist betrayal, and are trapped near-inextricably in their circumstances (at least in part) by the hand of an evil horrifically manipulative groomer. and have leap year birthdays!!!

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 15: PAINFUL RE:BAKE - Episode 22: "Never Again" One More Time

Banri: “This is me. This is my acting.”

Kabuto: You’re too good. That’s bad.

Banri: Don’t give such nonsensical advice, man.

Kabuto: Judas’s acting that touches people’s hearts shouldn’t be perfect here.

Banri: … I understand the reasonin’.

Kabuto: I’m sure.

Kabuto: — So, Baal.

Juza: Yeah.

Kabuto: You’re not exuding any of his otherworldly air. This is a guy who thinks he’s the future of theater.

Juza: — Got it.

Kabuto: Show me the results of having you two act as each other in the etudes. The point wasn’t to have you imitate each other’s tone of voice and posture.

Kabuto: I wrote this with you two as beginners in mind, so you should be able to do it even better. There’s no passion in this at all.

Banri: Hold up, how long are ya gonna make us play each other’s roles for?

Kabuto: If you don’t reach the level I’m looking for, you might be playing these roles longer than your actual ones.

Juza: Wha…

Banri: Are you for real…

Kabuto: Guess I need the handcuffs. Hey, go bring—

Banri: NO NEED! Quit bringing up random shit from the past.

Juza: Please spare us.

-

Kabuto: There are no problems with this formation.

Banri: Got it.

Kabuto: You’re stupidly good at making stuff like this.

Banri: Thanks.

Banri: (The hell’s stupidly supposed to mean?)

Kabuto: The lighting, sound, hair and makeup and projection images are all set. All that’s left is the play’s most important part: acting.

Banri: I’ll definitely do something about that, as the lead.

Kabuto: You’re not thinking it’ll all be solved by the magic of acting right before the curtain rises, are you?

Banri: ——

Kabuto: It’s a common misconception inexperienced people have, but as time passes, you realize that if you can’t do something in the practice room, you won’t be able to do it on the actual stage.

Kabuto: … Have you guys grown comfortable with each other?

Kabuto: Back during your debut with Picaresque, the entirety of the Autumn Troupe, but especially you two, were so ready to tear the stage apart that I could feel it through the video.

Kabuto: You may not be able to go back to those times, but you should be able to remember them. Give me what you had back then, or even more than that.

Kabuto: If you can’t do that, what did you leave the comfort of your company and come here for?

Banri: You’re right, back then…

[Flashback starts]

Banri: ——

Juza: ——

Banri: … I win.

Juza: … I win.

[Flashback ends]

Banri: (That time in Picaresque I was so moved… That I acted unconsciously.)

Banri: (Right now, us members of the Autumn Troupe are trying to find an impulse that surpasses what we had before, in order to perform the Picaresque sequel.)

Banri: (But something that becomes a formative experience ain’t something you go through half-heartedly, and it ain’t something you can just look for and experience.)

Banri: (That was also a once-in-a-lifetime miracle.)

Banri: (... I wonder if a moment like that will ever come again.)

Banri: …

Kabuto: But still, Juza Hyodo’s too boring to mess around with.

Kabuto: He nods his head sincerely no matter what I tell him. I wish I could see him go “Stop fuckin’ around” the way you do.

Banri: Ahh?

Kabuto: Well, I’ll be having a one-on-one interview with him tonight. I’ll pull a sweet one on him and reveal his true self. (1)

-

Itaru: GW. That troublesome Senpai won’t be coming at all today, TY for your all-nighter. 

Banri: I’m beat from practice, man…

Itaru: That’s exactly when gaming comes in clutch.

Banri: Ughhhh…

Itaru: What’s practice at Hyakka Troupe like?

Banri: The director made Hyodo and I exchange roles and is workin’ us to the bone. Said he won’t let us play our actual roles till we perfect this.

Itaru: You exchanged roles? That director’s got some interesting tricks up his sleeve again.

Banri: Yeah, well, he saw a video of Picaresque and told us to bring the same fire as back then, and not just act half-heartedly.

Itaru: He sure researched you two thoroughly. Ah, disable the trap there, pls.

Banri: kk. And it seems he even watched Hyodo’s Portrait.

Itaru: That reminds me… we were gaming like this while everyone else in the Autumn Troupe were writing their Portraits. You were the only one slacking off.

Banri: Ahhhh…

Itaru: That’s from back when you were young and arrogant.

Itaru: Looks like that director’s not someone you can fool, same as our Director-san.

Banri: IKR…

Banri: It’s exactly because his abilities as both an actor and director are top-notch, that I want to take as much from him as I can and grow.

Banri: And then, put all that into Picaresque’s sequel.

Itaru: IKWYM.

Banri: Reminds me, the Spring Troupe’s RomiJuli sequel was pretty good.

Itaru: TY. Doing a sequel inevitably reminds you of all sorts of things.

Itaru: Yuzo-san criticized us pretty harshly for the first time in a good while, too.

Itaru: He told us to re-evaluate what we want to accomplish with this performance, and what we want to convey.

Itaru: So, on Sakuya’s recommendation, we all tried to sleep on the stage again.

Itaru: And then, he said that he wants to take on new challenges, so he won’t lose to how his old self used to be…

Itaru: So we all tried something new and came back a little improved.

Itaru: And on the first day, after everything that happened, our leader said–

[Flashback starts]

Sakuya: We each took on new challenges in preparation for the New Fleur Award, so I feel like we can return to this stage with new feelings.

Sakuya: Although we can only stand on stage for the first time once, we can have many other “firsts” from now on.

Sakuya: We can remember those feelings again and again. That courage we had when leaping into a brand-new world–

Sakuya: Let’s take all our “firsts” in a positive light and have fun together!

[Flashback ends]

Banri: That’s the Spring Troupe’s leader for ya.

Itaru: IKR.

Banri: (I can’t lose to Sakuya.)

Banri: (There’s no point if Spring and Summer are the only ones doin’ well.)

Banri: (In order for MANKAI Company to keep growing further, us Autumn Troupe’s also gotta put on a performance that surpasses the debut’s hype.)

Banri: (Honestly, since it happened once at the start, I figured it’d never happen again.)

Banri: (It’s exactly ‘cause I had this faintest feeling that we might not be able to surpass what we felt during the debut performance that I gave everyone a pep talk, saying that we absolutely have to…)

Banri: (I got no time to be twiddling my thumbs.)

Banri: (There’s no way I… we can’t surpass it.)

Banri: (The Autumn Troupe, and I as their leader, can definitely surpass the past. I’m sure of that…)

NOTES:

(1) kabuto here replaces the 一杯 in 一杯食わせる (to play a trick on someone, or deceive them) with 甘味 (sweets), since juza likes sweets. i did the same with an english phrase to match the original vibe he's got going on

[lilysayurii]

i have a headcanon that when sasuke joins orochimaru and begins training with the sword he DEFINITELY would be the kind of thirteen-year-old that carries his sword everywhere because he's Cool like that.

kabuto teases him saying that he even sleeps with it, cuddling it like a teddy bear. he does NOT. he sleeps with it in his hand, like a MAN ready for battle. the thing is that he's kind of an idiot just like naruto and he keeps it unsheathed just in case there are enemies approaching. he stops doing that the time he wakes up with a gash on his arm that leaves a scar. if anybody asks he tells them he fought a tiger

[tora-the-cat]

ask game!! 🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?

oooh, that's a good one- A couple come to mind...but I'll go with how I REALLY don't vibe with the theory that Tobirama's mom was a Hatake. Honestly, I love aus where the Hatake are a cool ninja clan for one reason or another, but I don't think it works well as a theory for canon. It REALLY feels like something that would've come up at SOME point, if KAKASHI was the last scion of an old disgraced clan lol

February 29: Happy Birthday to Orochimaru’s spy and right-hand man, was once also a spy working for Sasori, a former ally of Obito Uchiha with the Akatsuki during the Fourth Great Ninja War, currently in charge of his childhood orphanage over at the Leaf Village in the Naruto character of Kabuto Yakushi.

DAY 5 - KABUTO & CAST

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KABUTO!!

I'm so happy to have participated in kabutoweek fr, I love all my fellow Kabuto lovers on Tumblr <3

Thank you for all the reposts and supportive comments, now let's celebrate the one in four years birthday of our favourite snake boy

[fictional-birthdays]

Happy Birthday, Kabuto Yakushi! (Naruto)

[ashley-yakushi]

Kabuto deepest birthday wishes for u ❤️❤️

[koolaidaddictedkid]

dropping 1 ton anvils on people is super underrated nowadays we should start doing it again

[thatsneakymedic]

Happy Birthday! :D

As a double gift, Lord Danzo places down a birthday cake (it does not contain poison) for Vani. He also dumps a few corpses (for Kabuto) in your inbox.

@lord-danzo

// And I would gladly take that cake since surely me taking a cake from strangers is a great idea and I love cake! Especially when this seemingly kind old man who may or may not be trying to sabotage my health because I rp a known "traitor" of the organization that Kabuto used to work for!

But tbh thank you for sending me this! My day has been well and you guys sending me these is only making my day better! Oh and great news, the hurricane managed to only skip my area only by a few inches so while I'll get rain, I won't get all of the trouble and the damaging winds! So I'm safe!

Best birthday present ever! :D

Meanwhile Kabuto:

*Takes a look at the bodies and is just going to tremble as he starts to chuckle darkly now.*

"These are the bodies of the recent protestors and their assistants that were against or at least tried to negotiate with the other elders about some of Konoha's unfair laws from the local news? Is that what you think of me now, Danzo? As your "personal corpse dispenser" since there's no more room in your headquarters for the vast amounts of bodies ROOT has left behind?"

He laughs even louder, "I can't believe that I'm not even that mad about this. Since these corpses are exactly the kind I actually needed for my collection. I don't know if I should be thankful or not, I might need to have a word with Lord Orochimaru on if I'm even able to keep these or not."

(He's confused but not entirely mad, thank you Danzo! :D)
