#kenta speaks : out of chakra

[cc-sasuke]

Sasuke's birthday's on the 23rd of July (yesterday for me) so let me fanboy about him!

Sasuke was one of my many single-muse blogs I made, before realising I could just make a multi-muse instead lmao. I am a sucker for the redeemed antagonist due to being able to RP out their growth, and AUs on that.

As for ships, it was nice to RP out SasuSaku, and dive into AU ships like SasuHina and SasuIno, thanks to my interactions on this blog! This also helped me hash out side muses to this blog like Naruto which turned into their own multi-muse blog.

So thank you to everyone who's still following this blog, who has RPed with my Sasuke, and sent this blog things recently and over the years!

for any birthday asks/prompts I will get to them during the week before getting back to my drafts, thanks!

[cc-naruto-s-rank-shinobi]

For my birthday (July 10), I want to talk about why I put Naruto as an option for muses that fit with my vibe (over Sasuke) for my poll from here

The (attention seeking) pranks I do with my Naruto (and Obito) are an extension of myself if I had the courage/time/finances to pull it off and the cleanup after. Like Naruto, I felt like I was behind through school (almost repeated a year) and went through that and life in non standard/traditional way, as in my story would surprise some haha.

I can relate to Naruto/Sasuke growing up, while I still have my family around, I never really found someone (IRL) I could call my brother through friendship, or a close group of friends that stuck around long enough to keep in touch with, so there was a sense of loneliness/isolation with that. Still, I worked hard, continued to put myself out there, and now have groups of online friends that I would be happy to visit one day, just like Naruto/Sasuke with their friend group they grew up with.

I have my derp/dumbass moments like Naruto does, and also the wrong place at the wrong time scenarios, lmao. I love my ramen (which usually has naruto in too), and my cup/instant noodles which I usually have while on holidays. I can be creative like Naruto does with his jutsu, and can be a good teacher when the situation calls for it.

My wife I feel is a mix of Sakura and Hinata, like I am a mix of Naruto/Sasuke. As for (next gen) family, like my version of Naruto (and Sasuke) I know I would find a work/family balance and make it work without neglecting either. Actually, I think I am around Naruto’s age at the start of Boruto Next Gen, so all the more fitting, lmao.

Thanks to @historias-multorum for this writing prompt (which was to write about your fav Naruto character), and for all our interactions/ships over the years, even the recent new ones that got me to >> << lmao.

Thank you @the-silver-peahen-residence for helping develop our OCs with the (ship) interactions and headcanons!

This also goes out to the anons sending things in, I was pleasantly surprised at how much it helped build headcanons and interactions I wouldn't have considered otherwise!

Fade Out by ShadyTi

Anime » Naruto Rated: K+, English, Naruto U., Sasuke U., Boruto U., Sarada U., Words: 1k+, Favs: 1, Follows: 2, Published: Apr 18

Author's Note

A small characterization inspired by Uchiha Sarada: Ways to become Hokage by ZsaberTooth, an ao3 fic.

Context: As far as everyone is concerned, Boruto went rogue. Sarada and a fairly large team were dispatched to hunt him down and bring him back. This happens when they finally bring him back. The second point of note is that ZsaberTooth envisioned the Jougan as this semi-sentient entity that is capable of carrying out it's wielders will, really cool if you ask me.

Note: This was originally a comment on the aforementioned work, I thought It'd be catching dust sitting under there, so, ended up posting it.

Definitely go read the original, It's really, really good.

(link to original: archiveofourown (insert dot here) org/works/33592276/)

Boruto has his hands cuffed in front of him as he walks up to Konoha's gates. Sasuke, Sarada, Mitsuki, Shikadai, Inojin, Daiki flanked him while Kenta and the other girl trailed behind them. He could see his father waiting at the gate with a gaunt face. He knows there's a storm coming, he left everyone and disappeared into the night, he expected an emotional assault, mostly one of disappointment and anguish, but then, life seems to like shitting on him more than usual of late.

There's a soft, audible rush of wind behind the group. They turn, Boruto does too. A girl, roughly his height, unhealthily pale skin, lavender hair simply walks into existence, no portal, no nothing. Yep, that witch did decide to show her face after all. "Nae-sama" is all he says. Biologically, he's 100% Otsustuki, so yeah, she might as well be his elder sister.

Legs apart, she dramatically swings her arms downwards, pointing squarely at the group, "I can't let you steal my Otouto."

His friends or rather, his prison-guards settle, arms drifting towards kunais, shuriken, katanas, nanjatos. "What are you going to do about it?" It is Sasuke-san who speaks.

"Kill you all and steal him back of course!" the girl chirps happily. Bolt wouldn't call her possessive, she was more motherly in nature, but her protectiveness over him always put him on edge.

"Good." Sarada stiffens when she hears her blond teammate, Boruto notices the horror in her face as she glances at him. Sasuke-san glances at him too, that alone says enough.

Boruto takes a deep breath letting himself fade, letting his thoughts fade, letting his surroundings fall aways . . . until there is nothing left. He's intensely aware of everything. The Jougan is inactive. He does not feel his own weight on his feet or the cuffs around his wrist. He wasn't using chakra to enhance his perception, he was falling back on primal apparatus - the unconscious, reflexive mind prioritizes, processes and responds to everything that does not need conscious attention and does it faster and more precisely while he could plan through what matters. He can see nothing but the attacker, he can hear absolutely nothing because none of the sounds are of any importance.

The girl has her blade drawn and swinging in the blink of an eye, straight at Sarada's throat. Boruto is leaning into her swipe, his handcuffs in the blade's path. He knows nothing of this, it is not important. He needs to put space between this girl and his friends, whether he could still call them that or not never crosses his mind, that thought is crushed and thrown aside by the older survival-driven parts of his mind. With his hands now free, he doesn't leap back or duck or attempt to block the blade that is now swinging towards his throat, a fact that is again locked out of his thinking perceptions.

Sarada's eyes widen, will she lose him? fail the mission at the gates?

Boruto extends his arm, reaching out as far as he can, his fingers-tips touching the lavender blade-wielders stomach. Her blade draws close to his throat. His fingers now rest on her stomach. He has moved forward enough that the part of the blade near the hilt touches the skin on his neck instead of the outer edge. His palm makes contact "Wind Style: Gale palm," he whispers as he sends her flying. The momentum of her swing has her blade cutting into his neck as she flies backward. Boruto of course doesn't even feel this.

They fly into a clash. Sarada and Sasuke keep up because of their Sharingan. The others see a blur, they can easily follow where each combatant is and what they're doing but the details are lost in the speed. Boruto's body moves of its own volition. It's the most expressive Sarada and the others have seen him since the beginning of the journey. The expression that his face flies through aren't refined. They're raw and primal, one second its anger, the next it's fear, the next it's concern. It feels artificial and freaky how fast he flips through emotions.

Boruto is oblivious of it all. In his sleep-deprived, chakra-drained, weaponless state, he can't get past nae-san's nanjato. He doesn't have enough chakra to pull off a jutsu that would hurt her, that is why he needs to end this fast - either stab her, snap her neck or chop her up. If it was the Jougan carrying out his will, he would have wondered how long this fight has gone on but his primal instincts decide that such a consideration is not worth the attention of his conscious mind at this point. It floats him an inkling of an idea instead. Freed up from needless nonsense like processing visuals, sounds, smells, and fighting back, he quickly expands on and finalised his attack plan.

Just like that, he is aware of himself ducking below a swing of the nanjato, he can hear the air turbulence in the wake of the blade with perfect clarity as he straightens up grabbing at her long lavender hair. He's aware of her sword arm reversing direction seeking to hit him in the temples with the hilt, maybe knock him out. Nae-san is not her to hurt him. He will not let her hurt his friends. He glides around her effortlessly, as if he were on Ice, away from the approaching hilt. Facing her back, her hair now around her neck like a shawl, he grabs the base of her hair with his other free hand, and now holding both ends, puts his foot to her lower back hard. It forces her neck down against her hair. This is in the preview of his attention and he is forced to gulp down every horrendous second in full detail. The way the the awkward grip and extreme force causes her hair to rip away from her scalp, pull skin with it here and there, the way hair bites into her neck, cutting like a blade just as much at it is tearing through flesh, the firm thump as the makeshift noose cuts past her windpipe and stops against her spine, the sputtering as she tries to breathe as blood leaks all round and into her windpipe.

The fight is finished, the threat health with.

Boruto is out of his trance, he feels everything now, he sees and hears everything too. His hands feel warm. He looks down. There's blood on his hand, dripping from all over the place. The thin strands of hair have cut into his palm with a thousand tiny cuts. He is still but his palm trembles, every one notices that, he is sure of it. With nothing holding his thoughts at bay, the horror and brutality of his actions flood his mind. What have I done? What will Sarada think? Mitsuki? Sasuke-san? What will mom and Himawari think? I don't really care about this, just what others think, I'm really a monster aren't I? . . . This wouldn't be the first time he's felt this particular brand of mental and emotional assault, it wouldn't be the last. Naturally, he goes numb and drops the body.

With the same blank face he's kept all day back on, he walk towards his jailors and holds out his hands.

It is Sasuke who speaks "You could escape."

"Yes."

"But you're not?" the Uchia asks, this tone gives nothing away. He has the same bland expression as usual.

"No."

"Then you don't need cuffs." the raven-head declares.

They walk the last few meters to the gate. Naruto never moved. If anything, his more grim than before. Father and son stand facing each other, "Just tell me one thing. Why did you leave?"

"I had a mission" Boruto replies, looking into Naruto's eyes daring as if daring his father to challenge him.

"Why. Did. You. Leave?" Naruto asks again, anger barely contained.

"I. Had. A. Mission."

Sarada drily notes that that the first non-mono-syllabic reply Boruto has given since they met.

The next second has everyone in shock, and Boruto has 5 fingers firmly planted on his cheeks. "Cut the bullshit!" Naruto roars.

Hinata is standing to the side of the entrance and Boruto hasn't seen her yet. That is maybe for the best because it looks like her heart just shattered.

Boruto gazes past Naruto at Kakashi as he draws up to the pair, "Ask Kakashi."

"It's the truth," Kakashi cuts in before anything else can happen.

Naruto turns to face Kakashi so fast it's surprising his neck didn't snap. He has a . . . Damn, I couldn't describe his expression even if I tried.

"Before all of that, could you decide whether you're sending me to T&I or solitary confinement?" It's not that Boruto didn't understand the emotional bomb he just dropped considering how close Naruto and his sensei are, nor was he an insensitive jerk, he just didn't have the time, patience, or sleep for this. "Slap a chakra restraining seal, no, two chakra restraining seals and lemme go to sleep. Haven't slept in a week."

Naruto has no clue how to reply, the others don't dare cut in, other than Sasuke that is, "Two seals would probably kill you."

Blondie shoots back, "Better safe than sorry. At least, no one can say you didn't try." The annoyance is clear in his voice.

Boruto looks expectantly at his father for an answer. Thirty seconds. A minute. It's dead silent, you could hear the wind. A minute and a half. "Fine, I'll just head to solitary."

Boruto flicks his hand, the Karma seal growing active, as ANBU move into action. He opens a portal to solitary, It's not completely black, the corridor leading up to solitary is visible clearly beyond that. The ANBU still, but continue to scrutinize Boruto with eagle eyes. He steps through as if nothing really happened. "I'm booking into solitary and slap two chakra restrictors on me," he says for the benefit of his father as well as the guards staring at him not knowing what to do.

"One's enough, don't wanna kill him," Sasuke calls behind him.

If not for the charged situation, Sarada would be wondering about the absurdity of it all and how the hell her father and Kakashi seemed so calm and casual about it all.

With everything moving, Naruto can't just let things drift, "Sasuke, guard his cell. Kakashi, to my office. Now."

like with my Naruto multi-muse @cc-naruto-s-rank-shinobi may be doing drabbles in between (RP) posts, since I have a lot of ideas/AUs with Sasuke!

[cc-naruto-s-rank-shinobi]

Since it’s Itachi’s Birthday (June 9), and the King’s Birthday public holiday (June 10, a day after?) here in (the future) Australia, I decree that Itachi is the King of the Uchiha!

-angry Madara/Obito noises in the background-

[kaito-akimoto]

Sorry for my inactivity again! Life has gotten busier, I’m still transitioning to the beta editor, and of course once I have enough time to try and catch up, there’s a heat wave here FML. Thank you everyone for still following for bearing with me, I’m hoping I’ll be able to hop onto my other RP blogs too like my Naruto one soon!

I've also happened to make over 100 (333 actually) posts on this blog with that last post, so I just wanted to say a big thank you for the interactions over the years, they help make Kaito (and my other OCs) that much better!

[cc-naruto-s-rank-shinobi]

updated blog icon above to celebrate Naruto’s 20th anniversary

I will be slowly catching up to threads, especially old ones

you are not obligated to reply to them and can drop if you wish

please let me know if there’s any you still wish to continue

I will prioritise one interaction per muse/mun if we have multiple

thank you everyone for your patience as always, appreciate it!

[cc-naruto-s-rank-shinobi]

To celebrate Naruto’s 20th Anniversary and Naruto’s birthday, I shall be going through some of my icons for (my) Naruto and this blog!

// one of the first icons I made for my first (Naruto) RP with @frogprinceus​‘s Jiraiya where Jiraiya becomes the new Animal Path and is later revived! One of my favourite AUs to this day!

// the first icon I used for this blog, it works for the blog’s RP theme, but super hard for me to recognise the blog for myself lmao, so I used a Naruto icon instead

// my most spammed Naruto icon (for RPs), to the point that even Naruto got annoyed by it! I then made that the blog’s icon for a while just to spite him for it lmao

more under the cut

// Christmas icon for this blog, which I left there for a while. So I came up with the headcanon that my Naruto chakra super glued his Santa hat to his head and can’t take it off!

// then I found this cute icon and added on that Naruto just put his nightcap over to cover it up and probably really stinks too ew

so I think it’s time for another blog icon change now/soon! 

[kaito-akimoto]

// welp somehow I forgot that the most simplest thing to do to celebrate a muse's birthday, is to reblog their promo lmao

my birthday (and Kaito's) was on the 10th, so will be answering any bday asks first. I am very happy with how Kaito developed over the years, first starting as an OC for a Naruto Highschool forum RPG (based on the second NS ending), and expanding to many AUs and verses in other fandoms!

[cc-naruto-s-rank-shinobi]

❉ What is a dream AU for you? If you haven’t done it yet, why not? (With Naruto or Shikamaru. Whoever you feel like answering for.)

// June 18

It’s Munday!

// My dream AU is one with alternative crossover ships from canon such as NaruSaku, ShikaIno, SasuHina, NejiTen, JiraiTsu, and probs more!

Shipping aside, also AUs where certain characters survive such as Minato/Kushina, Itachi, Asuma, Neji, Shikaku, Inoichi, Obito and so on

for Naruto, being Hokage with Sakura by his side, and Shikamaru being Naruto's advisor with support from Ino, and all four go on double dates together!

As for setting it all up, it depends on the mun if they’re willing and have (most) of the female muses mentioned and interested in interacting with mine, just reach out and plot with me, and we'll figure something out!

[cc-naruto-s-rank-shinobi]

whiskeysmulti asked: ✄ What is an idea you originally had in mind for your muse, but ended up scrapping? Why? (Shikamaru)

It’s Munday!

@whiskeysmulti // June 18

// so I have a lot of ideas, most actually from answered asks and headcanons on this blog, like the hoarder I am, I just can’t let myself scrap them lmao. But they will probably become drabbles in between RPs, also to help keep my inspo going for muses! Not just for Shikamaru, but muses like Itachi, Minato, and Naruto too!

But one idea I had for Shikamaru way back though, it is kind of dark so I probably won’t do a drabble on it haha, details will be under the cut below:

Shikamaru sacrifices his life by snapping his own neck (with his own shadow) when he’s used as a hostage to stop Naruto from doing what he must do to protect the village, also acting as a trigger so Naruto doesn’t hold back after either, a dark end like AU.

[cc-naruto-s-rank-shinobi]

// my Naruto muse (inspo) took a hit since last time, but it's back I'll be (more) busy come July, so I want to take the chance to plot/discuss RPs this month so I can focus on RPing then and onwards! So please feel free to reach out to me over IMs/DMs!

Will be focusing on (old) threads/drafts first then will try for new interactions, maybe even drabbles/headcanons in between to keep the muses going, thanks for everyone's patience as always!

this extends to my Sasuke blog @cc-sasuke too!

[kaito-akimoto]

"✖" (absolutely)

Send "✖" if you think my oc is well written.

// thank you Whiskey! It also really helps when I can flesh Kaito (and my other OCs) out with interactions with other OCs and canons like yours, especially with AUs!

[kaito-akimoto]

// since I've been reaching for new interactions, going to keep my pinned post updated more often when I can just so people are informed about my status/muse/etc, thanks!

Might be updating some (outdated) tags too!

[kaito-akimoto]

// Going to take the chance to update Kaito's info (and related side muses) in between RP posts, coz GDI they're outdated AF lmao.

especially his My Hero Academia verse with the anime coming back, and since I'm assuming most of you following are familiar with it and Naruto, will stick with having an OC Class 1/2/3-C with my OCs and Naruto muses there. This means I'll be up for starting new interactions with that verse alongside Kaito's main Naruto one.

In Kaito's adult and older verses, his teenage years will just be part of his backstory, which can still be RPed out if you want with discussion, thanks!
