About Kamiya Dojo Monogatari:

Tales of Kamiya dojo is written by Kaoru Kurosaki and published along with the “Rurouni Kenshin Hokkaido” arc in JUMPSQ. The tale involves the Rurouni Kenshin character in daily life that takes time between Kenshin and Kaoru marriage until the epilogue chapter in the original manga before the Hokkaido Arc. Until this month (June 2024) there are a total 78 chapters in Tales of Kamiya dojo. This is an unofficial translation.

Kenshin leapt from the railing and first he swung down one bouncer on the bridge with the wet tablecloth on his hand.

“Uwaa!” 

Clang. The tablecloth hit the bouncer in the face. Kenshin landed on the bridge, kicking another bouncer who held a sword. 

The man whose face was pasted with a cloth was covering his face with his hands and groaned, "My eyes...! The other man who had been kicked was screaming "Aaaah" as his kicked sword fell under the bridge.

In no time at all, the two men on the bridge were out of combat.

“I owe you!” Mikio said to Kenshin and ran off across the bridge to somewhere else. It’s typical of him, a person who did not hesitate to run away.

“...”

Kenshin looked straight at Suwa. He was in the middle of washing dishes, so he had no reverse sword. How far could the opponent go against him with his bare hands and Kenji on his back?

“Tch. He is just a baby sister, what are you doing? Hey guys!"

Suwa backed up and looked at the three men who were waiting for him.

 The men step forward to protect Suwa and hold their swords ready.

Kenshin was standing on a narrow bridge over a waterway which was used for daily life. With the two men who were unable to fight and Kenshin himself, it was already cramped.

The three new men couldn’t attack Kenshin at once.

“Ah.. this…” Kenshin spoke to Kenji on his back.

“Yahiko once asked me about a way to fight multiple enemies by yourself.”

“Da—?”

“This situation is similar to the strategy we talked about then.”

That strategy to make the opponent come to himself one-on-one had come by chance on this narrow bridge.

Without a sword and with Kenji on his back, Kenshin had no choice but to play it safe and deal with the situation one-on-one.

“What’s wrong, hey babysitter? You talk to a baby. If you want to beg for your life, come to me."

Suwa wondered if it was a coincidence that Kenshin, who didn't have a sword, had knocked them both off the bridge at once. He completely underestimated Kenshin, who was carrying a child on his back.

“It’s an important old story between father and son, that it is.”

Kenshin took a fighting stance.

“Shut up, you’re a mess!”

 One of the men flashed a white blade at Kenshin, with all his might.

・

Meanwhile, a little while before that.

“I'm really sorry to bother you on such a big day… Oh, why on the first day of the cafe's opening,” Shino was talking to Megumi in a tone that sounded like she was asking for advice.

“What's wrong?”

“My stomach's just getting contractions…” Shino smiled helplessly and rubbed her stomach.

“Since when?”

“A little while ago. I was planning on asking a midwife near the tenement house to help me, but... ouch…”

“Then let's go back to the tenement house and get ready for the birth.”

“What if the baby is born now?”

Megumi encouraged the anxious Shino, “It'll be fine. The baby won't be born so soon. Anyway, where's the manager? By the way, I can't find him anywhere. Where is he?”

The only person who can take Shino home is her husband, Mikio. Megumi looked around and asked where Mikio was.

“Um, you see... he was called by a customer earlier and left. He hasn't come back since…” Tsubame said with a troubled look on her face.

“He's not here when he’s needed!” Megumi was irritated but still gave instructions,“So, where's Ken-san?”

“I just checked the washing area outside, but he wasn't there,” Yahiko reported immediately.

“We need a man! Oh dear! It can't be helped. I can't let Shino-san walk back to the tenement house, so I need to carry her on a two-wheeled-cart.”

“If Shino-san gives birth, it's a major event for the Nagaoka family... so... um, I'll do my best,” Tsubame offered.

“With your weak arms, it would be quicker for Shino-san to walk,” Megumi flatly refused.

“Ah... okay,” Tsubame retreated sheepishly.

“There's not enough strength here…” Megumi glanced at Kaoru.

"I'll do it! Got it. I'll borrow a handcart from a neighbor."

Kaoru rushed out of the store.

“I'll help too.”

“Me too!” Yahiko and Misao shouted.

“You guys stay here,” Megumi gave instructions to them .

“Since we won't have any adults here, don't let any new customers in from now on.”

“I got it!” Misao replied cheerfully.

“Then, once the customers who are currently in the store leave, we'll close up the store, a little earlier than planned.”

“We can run the store on our own.”

Yahiko pouted. He didn't want to close down the store early, which it's been going well.

“We deal with money and food, so when something goes wrong, we can't just say, 'The kids took care of it.'”

“We're not children.”

“If this was a shop that had been established for years, we'd leave it to you. Even though we're adults, we still don't know what to do…”

“Well, I guess there's nothing we can do,” Yahiko reluctantly agreed to Megumi's words.

“But... We'd have to turn away customers who want to come in... It’s regrettable…” Tsubame responded.

Misao made a suggestion, “If we close the shop, we'll have some leftover baked goods prepared for today, so why not give them out as an apology?”

“That's a good idea! If the cakes are delicious, maybe they'll come back again,” Tsubame smiled.

“It'll also be good advertising,” Yahiko nodded.

“Let's do that. The manager is not here to help us make decisions, but we can't ask permission from someone who's slacking off, so it can't be helped,”Megumi also agreed with the idea of ​​handing out baked goods.

And so, the group split up into a storekeeping team and a childbirth team.

・

“I've borrowed the two-wheeled cart!” Kaoru, who had rushed out earlier, jumped in.

“Leave the rest to us.”

Kaoru and Megumi put Shino on the platform of the two-wheeled cart.

“I'm so sorry... I wish my husband had been here.” Shino seemed to be in pain, so she obediently let herself be put on the two-wheeled cart.

“If you say that, this is a crucial time and none of our staff are here... Anyway, let's do our best!” Kaoru put in a lot of strength and pushed the cart. This thing was hard to start moving at beginning, she needed to put all her strength.

“Leave the cafe to us!”

“Please be careful!”

“Take care!”

Yahiko, Misao, and Tsubame sent them off until the cart was out of sight, then changed the "Open" sign hanging at the cafe’s entrance to "Getting Ready."

Not long after that,

“Oh, are you closed already?” A middle-aged male customer came in and asked regretfully.

“Yes. I'm sorry, sir. Please take this as an apology,” Tsubame handed him a baked cake.

“It's the first day of business, why are you closing so early?”

“Ojisan, today is an auspicious day for the opening of the café, but we have something even better to celebrate!” Misao blabbered on about the manager's wife giving birth.

“Oh, that's great! Then I think I'll share the sweets with my eldest son's wife, maybe she’ll get some luck.”

"That would be great."

Thanks to Misao's customer service skills, what she learned from Aoiya, even the customers who couldn't get in the store received sweets and left with smiles on their faces.

And then…

Something noisy started going on inside the store.

“Where is it? Where…?”

Mikio came in through the back door and was making a big fuss inside the store.

“Damn, what the hell is that guy doing here just now!”

 Yahiko returned to the store, leaving Misao and Tsubame to give out the sweets.

“Hey you! Where's the sakabato?” Mikio’s face was pale and he was searching for the sakabato.

“What? There's no way someone like you would touch Kenshin's precious sword. You should keep talking in your sleep!”

“Shut up, I really need it! Ah, there it is!” Mikio found the sword on his own, grabbed it, and  left through the entrance of the store.

“Oi, wait! Hey!” Yahiko tried to stop Mikio, but unfortunately...

“Excuse me, can I have the bill please?” 

A customer who was still in the store called him. Yahiko couldn't ignore him, so he served the customer.

“Mikio-sama?” Tsubame, who was handing out sweets at the entrance, noticed Mikio but she didn't quite understand what happened to him.

“Hey you! There’s something important!” Misao tried to tell him about Shino, but Mikio ran past as fast as he could, as if that wasn't the time for him.

“Hey! Listen to what I’m saying!” Misao called out, but Mikio only showed his back as he ran away and her voice didn't reach him.

・

“This is getting messy”

One of the men flashed his white blade at Kenshin with all his might.

The blade almost hit Kenji if Kenshin didn’t dodge it in time, so he jumped back and landed behind the bridge.

All he had left as a weapon was the tablecloth in his hand. He put some distance between himself and his enemy, buying himself some time to think about what to do. At that moment...

"Here you go! Now there's no debt!” Mikio's voice rang out as the Sakabato came flying.

Kenshin caught it with his hand.

“Kyaa kyaa!” Kenji cried out happily.

“Hey! But what's the point of handing a sword to some babysitter?” Suwa still underestimated Kenshin.

But...

Kenshin quickly pulls out his sword.

“!”

Blood drained from Suwa's face.

“That's a reverse-blade sword... A cross scar on his cheek... That babysitter, I can’t believe this…”

Boruto: Tenchijin Chapter Four; Inevitable Reunion

Genre: Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Action

Summary: More side characters struggle with daily routine and work while the antagonist shows a glimpse of his motives.

Date:Jan.20th 2042

"Hyaa!" Himawari rotates around herself at incredible speed to deflect the rivers of venomous insects, another torrent of insects coming from under the ground to attack the defenseless young girl inside the chakra-made hemisphere. Himawari screams as her body is slammed on the ground so hard that the people around can hear her bones crack.

"You missed your shot, Shino." Kiba teases his old friend, grinning. Himawari's body is substituted with an explosive tag that blows up and burns down Shino's bugs, annoying him because he cares for the bonds he forms with each insect of his.

"You little-" Shino murmurs, gritting teeth and gathers his summon animals inside of his grey trenchcoat, not affording to lose a single precious tiny little friend of his for a sparring match.

"This party's getting crazy!" Kiba shouts, stretching out his arms and warms up. "Let's rock, Akamaru!"

"Woof!" Akamaru barks, goes into the fighting stance, prepared to flex his seamless cooperation with Kiba.

"Yay! Go get her, Uncle Kiba!" Mirai screams, cheering up her mother's beloved former pupil.

Eight trigrams vacuum palm!

Himawari shots numerous vaccuum sheels at Kiba and Shino, who evade her attacks without having to look behind.

Himawari's skill with gentle fist style greatly improving during these three years and having been promoted to chunin rank, being renowned as the prodigy of her generation.

Fang over fang!

Kiba and Akamaru move so fast they appear to be blurs in Himawari's eyes, leaving thousands of afterimages as they crawl on ground and spin around Himawari, the man-beast duo attack her from opposite-angles, Kiba from front and Akemaru from behind.

"Gaah!" Himawari lets out a cry of agony and before her body touches the ground, Mirai catches her. Himawari takes brief moments to recover from the injuries inflicted on her and finally stands on her feet without Mirai's help.

"That was a reckless act. You could've paralyzed her." Shino insists.

"I'm a veteran shinobi, man. I know i'm not as smart as you are but i can tell the difference between sturdy kunoichi and fragile child. Besides, i'm a jonin for god's sake. If i couldn't control my chakra properly then i'd be no more than the sore loser i was back then in academy." Kiba responds.

"I mean Uncle Kiba has a point." Mirai says.

"Why would you only cheer for him and not me?" Shino asks Mirai, who pouts and blushes, having no excuse for her deed.

"Someone's jealous." Kiba teases Shino, walking toward Himawari and pats her on top of the head. "Keep it up. You were amazing."

"But is that enough?" Himawari murmurs.

"Hima..." Mirai whispers.

"I am pretty sure that i can't catch up to Boruto. Not like this." Himawari continues.

"Do you really believe that Boruto can be redeemed?" Shino asks the young hyuuga.

"I have this feeling that tells me my parents are still alive... and safe..." Himawari says. "If my father were here, he'd have thought of nothing but chasing Boruto to the ends of the world... to bring him home. At very least he'd have tried his best, because that's the right thing." Himawari adds.

"Of course you'd say that." Kiba smiles. "Don't forget that my friend was forgiving, i'd dare say that she was even more of a weirdo than your dad in my eyes."

"Yeah..." Himawari says.

"About the other question, even i am not ready for that Code and his herd of beasts. Naruto and Sasuke aren't here, neither is your Tsubasa-sensei. Sometimes i wonder if i can make it out alive when they invade konoha?" Kiba states, sitting crosslegged infront of Himawari.

"You dummy!" Tamaki yells at Kiba, punches him on top of the head. "Button it!"

"Ouch!" Kiba grunts. "That's gonna leave a mark."

"Kurenai-san always talked about how you were the most arrogant kid in your generation and now look at you... How tragic." A teenage girl speaks.

"Mother and daughter woke up and decided to gang up on daddy." Kiba rubs the spot where his wife landed the hit as he is standing up.

"You are used to be the pride of you-our clan. For god's sake, don't let people look down on you." The girl says, approaching Kiba. "I want everyone to say nothing bad about my dad. Aren't you the coolest dad in the world?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe if you'd-" Kiba is interrupted as the younger girl scolding him wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him on cheek. "Ugh. I needed that."

"You're welcome." Kiba's daughter giggles.

"Thanks very much, Kitsuna-chan." Kiba says, holding his daughter in arms.

Kitsuna Inuzuka, fifteen years old, one hundred fifty nine centimeters tall, a girl of golden complexion with light brown hair and light yellow eyes, having an athletic body and relatively muscular compared to her peers including those of opposite gender. Kitsuna is blunt but shy, energetic but only when it's for what she deems to be fun like sparring with her parents and cooking, and she derives great pleaaure eating and or drinking spicy hot stuff. Kitsuna does enjoy socializing but hates unwanted physical contact and the chances she'd rip a poor soul's eyes out for touching her isn't low.

"Shino-kun." Shino turns around to see the lady uttering his name with endearment.

"Shiho." Shino embraces his wife in a gentle hug. "Don't push yourself too hard."

"Nuh-oh. I'm a workaholic maniac in a league of my own. There is no stopping me." Shiho insists.

"Imagine you not losing to these little babies." A girl with deep voice mutters, holding a sweets box in her hands.

"Yokan!" Shiho licks her lips as she spots her fave dessert is waiting for her.

"I can tell that you got heart eyes seeing them." Shino mutters, puts his hand on Shiho's shoulder.

"Are they all mine?" Shiho asks the girl that carries her favorite meal.

"Only if you promise to come home and have dinner with us." The girl says.

"You mean-oh! of course..." Shiho rubs her nose. "Okay, deal!"

"Here." The girl hands over the sweets box to Shiho who rushes to open it and put one yokan in her mouth, passionately chewing the heavenly slice as her cheeks burn up.

"You. Are. My. Savior. Hiei-chan!" Shiho confesses, pinching her daughter on cheek.

"I know, right?" Hiei shrugs off her shoulders, proud of herself.

"Thank you, Hiei." Shino says, pats Hiei on her back.

"Mhm." Hiei beams and her glowing eyes visible despite her wearing sunglasses.

Hiei Aburame, fiften years old, standing at one hundred sixty five centimeters tall, dark blonde hair and sky blue eyes, a lean girl of pale white complexion with a shade of gold. Hiei is introverted and geeky like her parents, precautious in nature which leads to her dealing with overwhelming perturbation.

.

.

.

"The last one." Hako mutters, as she transports the last of Code's iron claw marks to a separate dimension with Renga and Sai pressing palms of their hands against the kunoichi's back, channeling his chakra into her. Code's claw marks are spotted on konoha's outskirts on daily basis and it is upon Team Sai to seal them all away since Code's iron claw marks are indestructible and made of huge amount of compressed nature energy that makes it difficult for most of the skilled shinobi with large chakra reserves to take on such task.

Hako Kuroi and Renga Kokubo have been officialy promoted to Anbu rank and occasionally led by Houki Taketori on S-rank mission. Three years has passed since they were appointed as anbu, and around two years since Houki was chosen as the eighth hokage's bodyguard.

"I'm done." Raiga exhales, jumping on his feet. "I feel like i'm getting rusty if i keep doing this. Sai-senpai, when will lord eighth assign us to a classic mission where we could throw hands with some punks?"

"We might get one for the next weekend. I'm not sure so you can take this with a grain of salt." Sai states.

"Wonderful." Houki whispers with the exhausted look on her face.

Two jonins from guards patrol that watch over the village are passing behind Team Sai and look at the anbu squad.

"Good job." One of the jonins says.

"Don't move." Hako shouts, turns back immediately.

"What's the matter?" The other jonin asks.

Sai squad teleport to guards patrol's side, Sai himself grabs the jonins by back of their vests and pulls them.

"How did you not feel anything stuck on your skin?" Sai questions the confused duo.

"Th-that's impossible!" The older jonin in his early thirties with grey hair stutters.

"Oh,you don't say." Hako mocks the jonin.

"Take your vests off." Renga tells the jonins.

"Shit." The younger jonin in late twenties with blue hair murmurs.

The guards patrol duo take off their vests and shirts, Sai squad seal away the iron claws on their backs.

"I guess it's yet another mystical property of Code's claw marks." Hako speculates.

"That guy's a pain in the ass." Renga admits.

"He's worse. Much worse." Sai asserts.

.

.

.

It's been over three years since Code swore revenge and told Ada he'll have her fate in the palm of his hand once he becomes an Otsutsuki.

Three years since Code realize he needed to retreat and not only attain a power beyond measure, but also come up with a plan to eliminate those who are a nuisance to him.

There's no one in the existence who has gone through hell during this three years period of time to perfect themself and if they did, They have not pushed themself to limits the way Code did.

In order to defeat Boruto, Code took it upon himself to learn what it takes to be a shinobi as he was studying thousands of the books Isshiki left for him. Code chose the most difficult methods to strenghten both mind and body, and with his photographic memory and superior adaptation, He learnt how to neutralize almost any and all techniques as he visualized battles against the most competent fighters of the present time using his extraordinarily developed imagination, and attained immunity to most techniques that target the soul and mind.

Swoosh!

Code stands behind Kawaki, who is panting and covered in blood and sweats, frozen in his place.

"Pathetic bastard." Code is disgusted at sight of the heart in the palm of his hand, throws it away.

Kawaki falls on his knees the moment his stolen heart hits the ground, crimson rivers finding their way down from his coat. "The fuck..."

Code opens his eyes, exhaling deeply.

Raising on his feet, Code heads toward Juubi that is wrapped in iron claws and no longer struggling to break free. Code has come to conclusion that this beast has just accepted it's fate and that it's no chance against himself. Juubi cannot feel emotions at all. This being is unable to comprehend pain, envy, hate, love, sadness, disgust, and fear. It's merely incarnation of the abstract concept chaos, serving no purpose other than turning into a divine tree and bearing chakra fruit.

Code's might has eventually far exceeded that of Isshiki Otsutsuki at the height of his power, before being desperate enough to make Jigen as his vessel. Isshiki never could reclaim his lost strength, and once he had the opportunity, he met his doom.

Before falling short to his demise, Isshiki bestowed his will upon Code. Code's goal as the carrier of Otsutsuki God's will may be as unambigious as it can possibly be: Feed a pure-blooded otsutsuki to juubi, cultivate the same divine tree that draws chakra from the entire population of earth, the devour the chakra fruit it bears which will turn him into an otsutsuki god whose might surpasses that of Shibai Otsutsuki's when he transcended concepts of space and time. And then, not even Daemon would pose a threat to Code.

Code runs fingers through his hair with his left hand, slides it down to rub his neck gently, cracks his shoulders and inhales deeply. A grin appears on his face, satisfied with the results of his training, prepared to crush the two people he hates the most in this extistence.

"Ada...once i'm done with Boruto and Kawaki, our reunion will be inevitable..." Code murmurs, knowing well that the woman who backstabbed him is keeping a weather eye on him with her divine waxing moon orb.

"Hey." Mitsuki whispers in Ada's ear, stretching out his arm to rub her shoulder.

"Sometimes i look back and witness the way i treated Code... and then see how Kawaki keeps ignoring me..." Ada deactivates her senrigan and nods her head. "I think i know Code's pain..." Ada says, dropping her head.

"What do you think he'll do once he has you at his mercy?" Mitsuki asks Ada who turns to him with a worried expression on her face.

"I... i just..." Ada hugs herself as she imagines the possiblity of Code taking out all of his adversaries to have her in the palm of his hand, utterly vulnerable once he has become a full-fledged otsutsuki. "...He won't forgive me..."

"Do you really believe that the love Code has for you will fade away once he is not affected by your love charm?" Mitsuki asks Ada, turns to her and sees she is digging her arms with her fingernails, gently takes her trembling hands in holds them in his hands, she freezes at his cold touch.

"In his mind, i betrayed him... how could one forgive the person who has broken their heart?" Ada questions Mitsuki, locking gazes with him.

"Code has experienced this feeling before with Isshiki and he still has stayed true to Isshiki's ideals and obeys his god's will." Mitsuki responds.

"But i am not his god!" Ada shouts.

"Ada." Mitsuki whispers Ada's name in a gentle manner that calms her. "Love runs deeper than that. You might think that Code is only obsessed with you because he is bedazzled by your love charm but from what i hear from you, It doesn't seem like he is like the rest of people." Mitsuki continues.

"That is impossible..." Ada claims.

"Do you really mean that?" Mitsuki asks Ada again.

"What..?"

"Do you think that i don't love you from bottom of my heart?"

Mitsuki's words shock Ada and makes her doubt her perspective of the reality.

"I hope you really love me." Ada answers Mitsuki.

"For a very long time, i wondered if i could ever understand what love truly is. I befriended fellow classmates, spent time with my family. I can tell that that i don't wish to lose any of them but is this really love or merely a grand obsession?" Mitsuki confuses Ada once more.

"Is that the reason why you are so sad..?" Ada wonders.

"All i am saying is that Amado might be the reason you can't let go of Kawaki and look for someone who would cherish you." Mitsuki responds.

Ada is left speechless, and a part of her wants her to slap Mitsuki across the face, scream at him and scold him for being presumtous as he is. However, Ada takes a few moments to stay still and ponder to consider the possiblity of her emotions and mind having been altered by Amado. She is aware that Amado is capable of doing that but what is there for him to gain?

"Sorry..." Mitsuki murmurs, pulling Ada out of the sea of fears and doubts. "...For overstepping my boundaries." Mitsuki turns to side.

"Don't say that." Ada whispers, leaning onto Mitsuki's shoulder and rests her head on it as Mitsuki has often been the only who cares about her well-being. Mitsuki embraces Ada in shelter of his arm. Would he ever let anyone see the everlasting snow in his heart?

[kikaichuno]

Tobi falls out of a nearby tree, hitting just about every branch on the way down. Without missing a beat, he stands up and looks at Shino.

"AAH! It's one of those bug dudes! I'm sorry I sat on that anthill! It was an accident! Deidara pushed me into it!"

( @orangespiralmask )

@orangespiralmask

Shino watches the Akatsuki's mysterious member pathetically fall down every branch of a tree, not moved by the display in the slightest. Nothing in this man's behavior will push him to underestimate him, which he has a vague feeling this might be the purpose of this ridiculous act.

He stares back, insects ready to attack if need be. He recalls this Deidara to be the bomber that took Gaara. If every member of this organization have the skills to take down a jinchuriki, then this man doesn't make an exception. Shino has to wonder where he was heading to, he himself wasn't on a mission regarding the Akatsuki at all, them crossing path is purely a coincidence.

"What are you doing?" The Aburame ignores whatever nonsense the man just said, instead going straight for a simple question. His insects aren't detecting the presence of this Deidara anywhere nearby.

Desert Flower Part 17

Yuri vs. Yukina and Kankuro vs. Misumi,

Yuri passed Naruto as she started to walk down the stairs.

"You got this, Yuri!"

"I know." She smiled and headed towards the center to meet her opponent. The girl from the sound ninjas team. Yuri eyed her, looking at her from top to bottom. Yukina looked timid and meek, glancing away from Yuri, looking down. She looked so scrawny and pathetic. This was actually sad.

"You may start whenever you're ready." Hayate spoke.

Neither of them made a move. Yuri frowned and she turned to look at Hayate.

"Um, is it too late to change opponents?" she asked him.

"The choice that was made is final." 

Yuri glanced down at her handmade canteen tied to her side, remembering that there was still some water inside of it. "One more question. Is anything that was used in the last bout allowed, if it can help with a jutsu?" Yuri asked Hayate.

"If it's not illegal then it's fine."

Yuri turned back to Yukina. "Are you going to attack or am I going to have to?"

Yukina's eyes widen then she pulled out her kunais and threw them at Yuri. Yuri quickly moved out of the way dodging them. Then Yuri heard a whistle coming from Yukina. Yuri was knocked back by an invisible force and got cut up a little. Yuri got up, looking at Yukina. Yukina didn't answer her and Yuri charged at her. Yukina made another whistle noise again. Then Yuri saw something heading towards her. She quickly moved out of the way, seeing an invisible blade fly past and it slammed into the wall behind her.

Yuri quickly turned back, looking at Yukina seeing her running at her. Yuri quickly made a hand sign.

"Water Style! Water Prison Jutsu!" The water quickly flowed out of her canteen, growing bigger and rushed towards Yukina encasing her inside of it. Yukina squirmed inside as she tried to break out but couldn't. Yuri walked closer towards the water prison.

"Are you going to give up?" 

Yukina stared at her and stopped struggling as if she was accepting that she was going to die. Yuri's eyes widen when she noticed. She quickly released the justu. The water splashed down and Yukina fell to the ground, coughing, as she struggled to catch her breath. From the beginning of the match, Yuri noticed that the girl had not said a single word. She bent down to Yukina's level.

"Can you not talk?" Yuri asked her. Yukina panted as she stared back at Yuri but made a slow short nod.

"You looked like you wanted to die; did you not want to take the exams? Why did you even take it if you didn't want to?" Yuri asked her. Yuri saw Yukina glanced over her and she turned to see Dosu, one of the sound ninjas that had attack them. She glared at him then turned back to Yukina.

"They made you do it."

Yukina slowly nodded. Yuri felt her blood began to boil, getting a little angry. This whole exam really was a sham from the very start! Mindless entertainment for sick people's amusement and for profit for the sake of their villages' pride. Was this really the shinobi way? This feels so wrong...

"Here's what we're going to do." Yuri told her and she began whispering to Yukina her plan. Yukina's eyes widen and she quickly nodded.

Yuri created two shadow clones of herself then made another hand sign. "Sexy Jutsu!"

A loud pop was heard, and the arena was covered in smoke. Yukina's mouth dropped in shock, her nose bleeding a little. So did everyone else in the room at what they saw. Yuri had made herself a little older and taller, her hair was longer and her body was even more curvier. The mist covered up hiding the upper part and lower part of her body as well. Yuri giggled flirtatiously and winked. Naruto laughed.

Kiba gaped in shock, Shino began to twitch a little, while Hinata blushed. Neji's eyes widen, his mouth dropping a little. Lee screamed and so did Gai, as they both had a nosebleed. Ten Ten covered her eyes and was blushing and twitching, a little annoyed. Shikamaru and Choji stared in disbelief. Sakura and Ino were both staring completely flabbergasted. Kankuro's eyes were wide as saucers and mouth dropped almost as if it was going to fall off. Temari stared in disbelief, blushing a little. Gaara's eyes widen a little caught off guard, but still stayed emotionless. 

Yukina fell back, completely overwhelmed and passed out from blood loss from her nose bleed.

"Winner, Yuri!" Hayate coughed and wiped his nose.

"Yeah!" Naruto cheered.

"Yes! That's my girl!" Kisuke shouted as he leaned over the railings, almost about to fall off. Iruka was holding on to him.

Gaara stared quietly as he watched Yuri heading back up the stairs. Kankuro noticed and saw Gaara was twitching a little, as well. Kankuro's eye widen a little in worry and so did Temari's. They noticed the blood that Yukina had sprayed all over the floor and glanced at each other in worry.

"Oh no. That's not good!"

Several medics came and took Yukina out of the arena. The next match was about to start as Kankuro's name was drawn and he was fighting against, Tsurugi Misumi, another person from Kabuto's team.

"Unlike Yoroi, even against little punks, I show no mercy. I'll say it now, if I put my techniques on you, it's over. Give up immediately."

"Then I..." Kankuro smirked and he pulled off his puppet, setting it on the ground beside him. "Will end this quickly."

"I won't give you the chance to do anything!" Misumi shouted.

"What?" Kankuro's eye widen when Misumi grabbed Kankuro's wrist and the shinobi's body started to wrap around Kankuro's, like a snake and slowly started constricting him.

"In order to gather information, my body as been altered to be able to fit into any space. So I can keep squeezing until I break your bones. If you don't give up, I'll keep squeezing harder." Misumi smirked and his body started to wrap around Kankuro's getting even tighter.

"I don't know what kind of ninja tools you use but you can't do anything like this. But try something funny and I won't wait until you give up. I'll break your neck, immediately. Hurry up and give up."

"No way." Kankuro smirked.

"Do you want to die?"

"You're the one who's gonna die." Kankuro chuckled a little. Then a sickening noise was heard as Kankuro's neck had been snapped. Yuri gasped covering her mouth and Naruto gasped as well in shock.

"His neck is broken!" Lee cried out.

"Stupid." Gaara murmured.

"Damn...What an idiot." Misumi spoke and slowly unraveled his body, releasing Kankuro. "You made me kill you." Kankuro's body slowly turned around and revealed his face to be cracked and lenses for eyes?

"Then is it my turn now?~" Kankuro spoke as he taunted Misumi. Misumi's eyes widen in shock.

"What!?"

Then suddenly more arms pulled out of Kankuro's body and began to trap Misumi. Kankuro's face slowly began peeling and crumbling away, revealing a strange doll of some sort and it began wrapping it's around Misumi so he couldn't move.

"This is a puppet!?" Misumi cried out in shock. The puppet that Kankuro had set down earlier began to move and the real Kankuro busted through the wrappings. He had created chakra strings and made it attached to the puppet to control its movements. Kankuro smirked.

"If I break your bones, you'll be even softer, right?" Kankuro made the puppet squeeze tighter. Misumi cried out in pain. 

"Give up and I'll go easy on your neck."

"The battle can not be continued. The winner is Kankuro!" Hayate shouted.

"Hey, Kakashi sensei, that guy's cheating! It's 2 against 1! Is that even allowed!?" Naruto shouted.

"It's not cheating." Yuri spoke. Naruto turned back to her.

"Huh?"

"She's right." Kakashi said as well. "It's just a doll."

"Well, more like his ninja weapon." Yuri told Naruto.

"It's more than that. He's controlling the doll using his chakra. It's the same as using a shuriken or any other tool." Sakura spoke.

"We will begin the next match." Hayate spoke and the score board slowly began flipping again to pick out the next challengers.

"Geez! There's a lot of weirdos here!" Naruto said.

"You're one to talk." Kakashi replied, sarcastically.

"Hah! Good one!" Sakura laughed.

"I wouldn't be laughing, Sakura." Yuri pointed out.

"Huh?" Sakura blinked confused and turned to the score board. 

"Sakura Haruno vs. Ino Yamanaka."

[dark-elf-writes]

In Venomous Naruto: Naruto is the only one to pass the bell test.

Not only does he know about it from Orochimaru, know the true meaning behind the test, but for all that he does not excel at book learning to test taking his practical skills are far above the average academy graduate. (They have to be with the deadly games he and his siblings play. Have to be to follow his mother’s every step like an excited kit. Have to be to even begin to touch the ocean of chakra in him that sometimes makes his skin feel too tight if he doesn’t use enough.)

So after he tries to tell the others about the truth of the test, tries to get them to listen to him so they could all win together, and only gets left behind as a result Naruto eventually shrugs.

If they won’t work with him, if they would leave their teammate behind, then they weren’t much of a team were they?

It’s not like he needs other people to be a team. Not when he can summon his shadow clones. Not when mother and his siblings had each passed their knowledge along to make sure their littlest monster could hold his own in a cruel world. Not when he could sometimes manage to land a hit on Anko or Tenzo when they were play fighting.

So Naruto makes two clones, readies his fans and senbon, and launches his own attack.

He gets the bells, sweating and panting, and turns from Kakashi before he can say anything to throw them at the feet of his supposed team mates, slitted blue eyes barred on them and his fangs flashing in challenge.

“You passed because I’m letting you. Because I’m not stupid enough to leave my team behind. Because the whole point of this was to work together.”

He leaves. Two bells glinting in the dust at his teammates feet. His teacher not bothering to stop him as he glared at his two remaining students. Naruto goes home, finds his mother pouring over a book in the afternoon sun, and collapses against him with a sob as the frustration and hurt reach their height now that he was in the safety of his home.

He wishes he had been put on a team with Shino instead.

Kakashi-Sensei Moments with Konoha 12 (Except Team 7)

- Angry at Gai for teaching Lee self-destructive jutsu

- Held Neji’s hand to stop him from killing Hinata

- Asking the condition of other Genin on Sasuke retrieval mission

- Accompany Team 10 on their pursuit towards Hidan and Kakuzu to prevent them from doing anything reckless

He also protected Shikamaru and Choji from Hidan and Kakuzu’s deadly combi attack with his body.

- Explaining and Praising Shino’s Ability

- Sacrifice his life to protect Choji

- Visualize Konoha 12 in his mind just before his death

- Assess Kiba, Lee, and Sai’s condition then move them to a safe place from the middle of the road

little note : if we assume that he carried Kiba first and Lee the last, then he purposely put Akamaru besides Kiba and away from others. And that’s so cute of him, especially since later their sleeping gesture turned into this :

- Grieve for Neji’s death and recount him as one of his friends whom he swore to protect but failed.

Bonus 

- Praise Kankurou for his quick-thinking

- Reassure Gaara and accept his issues

This is anime-only scene, but it’s too golden to be left out (I am biased and I regret nothing).

Then, when they truly got ambushed by Suna shinobis:

Tl : dr : Even though Kakashi is Team 7 jounin sensei, he cares for all future generations and they’re equal in Kakashi’s eyes. Kakashi is always ready to help those kids, even at the expense of his own life. 

[tabaciberez]

Tbh my read is that it's a bit more complex, but if I had to describe it shortly; "yes, and..."

Like we start with the misogyny, the regular shit, because it exists in spades. Asuna is (in early volumes) hardly a strong female character, but she still puts out more than enough strength to put the chuds off their feed. Worse, she's superficially exactly what they want; someone who is ready and willing to get in the kitchen, but also can, will, and does kick ass outside it. Other female characters are worse by their view: Liz is a respectable working professional, Sinon is a talented and driven lesbian, Silica and Yui are explicitly daughter figures to the main cast and thereby untouchable, Yuuki is the triple threat of gay for their waifu and a religious minority that does their shit better than them (and then dies well so they can't wish her death), and Alice is a deuteragonist in her own right. Every single female named character in SAO exists to kick these basement neckbeards in the goddamn chin, in short.

After the misogyny, we get into the general acceptance of LGBT themes in SAO. Every single one of those boxes gets checked textually or with a minimum effort reading, so I'm lumping the objections to them together too. Sinon and Yuuki hold up the lesbian side of the equation, Kirito slams the gay out of the park in Alicization (and the inherent homoeroticism of Furinkazan should be mentioned), Klein is textually bisexual, and trans readings of Kirito, Sinon, and Liz are all easily developed. Even when it's difficult for Reki to call out and address sexuality and gender directly or specifically, he does handle the elision with respectable grace. The man knows he can't hit every ball, so he doesn't try. Adaptions may not follow this to the letter, but enough of the core gets through to engage debates.

Then there's parentage and parenting, because holy fuck does this manage to trigger every mommy and daddy issue in the books. Showing good parenting and bad parenting in the same piece of media would already do this of course, because we can't have nuance and comparison anymore, but this is added onto by the fact that the kids are alright. Kirito and Asuna do a fundamentally good job of taking care of Yui, explicitly, end line. Sure, they make mistakes (especially in the LN) but they're relatively minor and easily buried under the fact Kirito reorientares his entire education around what can be described as developing assistance devices for his physically disabled daughter. Take that in for a moment. Asuna does no worse, either, either with Yui as a mother or Silica as a parental figure who understands what their daughter went through. Surprisingly, Silica gets it even better in the adaptions; what else can we describe Asuna diving into the path of the dragon for her as in Ordinal Scale? Compare this to Asuna's own mother, who seesaws between depicting her daughter as an irrecoverable cripple and a perfectly fine member of society who needs no accommodation for her physical and mental issues.

Which, in an interesting segway, leads us to disability! All the SAO survivors are disabled! No, we're not going to debate on this! Both physical and mental afflictions are shown and given the attention and care they're due, from Kirito's lack of physical ability in Fairy Dance to Ordinal Scale to Yuuki's deliberating fight with AIDS that leaves her entombed in the Medcuboid; to Asuna and Shino's long-running push and pull against their PTSD and traumatic experiences. This is nowhere more apparent than in Alice, whom is the final refrain in Kirito's argument that digital persons are still people. She has been attacked mentally and turned into what she believes is a different person by her experiences being turned into Alice Synthesis Thirty. She's physically disabled, relying on an android frame to exist in the material frame as a full-body prosthetic of varying degrees of quality that refuses to allow her the full breadth of human experience. Despite this, she prevails and perseveres to earn her roll as a character that exemplifies internal strength that other, equally and more powerful, characters can rely on and draw fortitude from.

Reki has, if not "by complete accident" then certainly "by knowing when to gracefully handle in passing" created a story that handles a multitude of things that make the Basement Reich hate him while being cloaked in the corpses of things they love like harem tropes and video games. Not even the clowns in A-1 pictures can break that; and in many cases the line staff agree and participate in the themes that cause all the rage. After all- nobody was forcing them to make the trans read so easy in the Phantom Bullet arc, or express Liz's lesbian torch for Asuna so clearly.

Even in the bottom of the deep, deep well of shit that makes up the bad parts of the series like Kiss and Fly, there's still a light of hope. The series does a lot of things right, and we can measure how much right they do from how loud the idiots scream in a pinch.

yknow how sword art online got repeatedly slandered into the ground by mainstream western anime "fans", mostly for reasons that are either massively overblown or just straight-up incorrect?

well i realised something:

^the general anime fandom has been treating kirito like a girl from day fucking one^

like i kind of already figured it all felt similar to vriscourse garbage where people would demonise vriska and then turn around and excuse similar or worse shit from eridan or gamzee without a single ounce of self-awareness

it's the double standards, the utter unwillingness to deal with the actual character motivations beyond the surface level, just to then proclaim the surface is all there is

tldr: kirito has been suffering from the same misogynistuc double standards as vriska from their respective fandoms. this is because they're both trans girls and even if people refuse to acknowledge that they still behave accordingly

that is all

Lumiere of Bonds Lit in the Dim Night

I’ve been so bored with nothing to do, so I figured why not jump aboard the translation train? I’m pretty much a newborn baby when it comes to translating, as I am still learning the language. That said, thank you and I hope you enjoy~

⋆⁺₊⋆☾⋆⁺₊⋆Chapter 1⋆⁺₊⋆☾⋆⁺₊⋆

One day when a cool breeze was blowing. 

Upon receiving the request, we visited a small village in the central country. 

Shino: “This is the last piece of rubble blocking the road. I’ll lift it up.”

Heathcliff: “All right. Lepse Vive Lupusnos”

Shino: “Matztzah Sudipas”

When Heathcliff and Shino cast their spells there is a heavy sound, and fallen trees and earth and sand are gradually pushed to the side of the road. 

The roof tiles that were blocking the way were removed, and we can finally get through the road. 

Akira: “Shino, Heath. Thank you for your hard work.”

Heathcliff: “Master Sage.”

Shino: “It doesn’t really matter to me. More than that Sage, this is just a chore no matter how you look at it.”

Shino: “I heard this was an important mission, so I came here with a lot of energy…”

Heathcliff: “It’s not a chore. When you came here, the Master Sage explained the details of the request.” 

Heathcliff: “It’s reconstruction work for a village damaged by the influence of <The Great Disaster>.”

Shino: “Was it? Anyway, a flashy one like subjugating monsters would have been good.”

Shino: “And I don’t like that Oz stands out. Look at that.”

Shino bends his mouth and sends a glance. 

Ahead of him was Oz, who was helping with some work in the distance. 

Oz: “Vox Nox”

As soon as Oz casts his spell, rubble floats in the air, and the flattened houses begin to regain their shape. 

And then the pile of tiles disappeared, and a house was completed in a beautiful state as if nothing had happened. 

Akira: “It’s like time is rewinding……It’s as amazing as ever.”

Shino: “Well, thanks to him, it seems like it’ll be over soon.”

Heathcliff: “I’m sure there’s more to help with other than the reconstruction.”

Akira: “Yes. I’ve also received a request to prepare for the amulet ceremony that’s held every year in this village.”

Akira; “I’ve asked Chloe, Shylock, and Cain to restore the costumes for the ceremony, but……” 

Heathcliff: “Some people in black are coming this way. Huh, those clothes…..”

The three people walking towards me, waving their hands, had changed into unfamiliar clothes before I knew it. 

Cain: “Good work, you three! How are you doing?”

Akira: “Thank you for your hard work. Things are going well here.”

Shino: “Those clothes are cool. Looks strong.”

Shylock: “It’s an amulet ritual costume. The less damaged costumes were repaired and made by the villagers.”

Shylock: “I want us to have fun too.”

Chloe: “Even though it’s such a cool costume, it’s a shame that most of it got burned under the influence of <The Great Disaster>.”

Chloe: “Oz-sama is repairing the village so fast, we have to hurry up and get ready!”

With a booming voice, Chloe spins around as if to show off his majestic costume once again. 

I’m sure it’s a big job to repair the costumes of all the villagers. 

Well, with these talented people, it won’t take them long to get ready. 

Shino: “By the way, what did you mean by ceremonial ritual?”

Heathcliff: “You really haven’t heard much of what the Master Sage has to say….”

Cain: “It’s a ritual to keep monsters away. A long time ago, at this time of year, this village was attacked every year by hordes of monsters!”

Cain: “So the villagers thought of a countermeasure. That is to light a big bonfire and light lanterns all over the village.”

Heathcliff: “By enveloping the entire village in flames they succeeded in driving the monsters back, isn’t that right?”

Akira: “Since then, every year, they decorate the lanterns with fire so that the monsters don’t come.”

Akira: “This year there was damage and the progress of the ceremony was delayed…..”

Chloe: “So, the villagers who felt uneasy gave us a request.”

Heathcliff: “Besides, the ritual isn’t too formal, right?”

Cain: “Yeah. Put on special clothes and make-up, gather around the bonfire, and spend the night like a festival.”

Cain: “I’ve heard that it’s a very fun traditional event with great food, singing and dancing!”

Shino: “Hmm……But does it really make sense?”

Shino: “In fact, even if the ritual is delayed, I don’t feel the presence of monsters around here.”

Shylock: “Well, who knows. However, there are many beasts and monsters who are not good with fire and light.”

Shylock: “Besides, the light can ease the fears and anxieties that lurk in people’s hearts.”

Shylock: “In that sense, it is an important ritual that serves as a stronghold for the villagers.”

As we were talking, Faust and Nero, who were working in another place, came towards us. 

Faust: “Sage, can I have a minute?”

Akira: “Faust, Nero. What’s wrong?”

Faust: “The villagers asked me to do something. While the village is being restored, could you take a look at the abandoned altar in the back of the village?”

Akira: “Altar…..?”

Nero: “Yeah. It looks like a mansion where a wizard used to live. There’s no one there now, but there’s a number of people in the village who say they’ve seen a shadow.”

Nero: “Some people said they heard an eerie squealing noise, and that there might be a ghost or some kind of monster living there.”

Heathcliff: “G, ghosts!?”

In contrast to Heathcliff, who turned pale at the two’s talk, Shino’s eyes lit up. 

Shino: “Let’s go now. It doesn’t matter if it’s a ghost or a monster.”

Shino: “It seems like a much easier task to accomplish than preparing for restoration or rituals.”

Nero: “We don’t know if there’s even any real danger. There’s been no harm done, so it’s probably just a stray dog living there.”

Shino: “Still, it’s much more competitive than cleaning up rubble. Let’s go quickly.”

Faust: “…Well, I suppose so. We’re wizards of the east, so I’ll take a quick look.”

Faust: “Just as Nero said, I don’t feel any strange presences. Sage, is that okay?”

Akira: “Yes. Just in case, since it’s an additional request, please allow me to accompany you.”

Akira: “Ah…. but if that happens, Oz might be the only one helping with the reconstruction…..”

I look back to say a word to Oz in the distance. 

Akira: “Oz! It’s okay to leave it for a while…”

Oz: “Vox Nox”

Oz was alone and silently repairing the village. 

Occasionally, the surrounding villagers would cheer. 

Villagers: “Oh, wow…..!”

Villagers: “Roof tiles that didn’t move even with the help of ten people look like dead leaves….”.

Akira: (A, as expected…..)

Cain: “I’ll tell Oz. He’ll be fine on his own, I’m better at talking to the villagers anyway.”

Shylock: “As for repairing the clothes, there are also fast and skilled tailors here.”

Chloe: “Yeah, we’ll finish it perfectly! So, leave it to us!”

Guided by Faust, we proceed deeper into the village. 

The popularity gradually faded away, and a silence enveloped the area. 

This area is also littered with rubble, giving it a more ominous atmosphere. 

Akira: (Not only the people, but also the number of houses is also getting less and less…..)

As I was looking around, Faust suddenly stopped. 

Faust: “Over there.”

What Faust was pointing at was a tall, old Western-style building nearly buried in overgrown vegetation. 

Shino: “It's a rag shop.”

Heathcliff: “Oh yeah. I mean, there’s a pretty good atmosphere…..”

Kurenai's Test

“The hell did she go?” Kiba spun around, eyes darting back and forth. Hinata cringed away from his overbearing demeanor while Shino seemed unaffected. The three spent a minute looking around before Shino chimed in.

“She’s likely put us under a genjutsu.” Shino spoke plainly, and Hinata nodded in agreement. He turned his attention to her. “The byakugan can see through genjutsu, can’t it?”

“O-oh-“ Hinata swallowed, eyes darting back and forth between the two boys, “i-it can be resistant to it, b-but not immune…and I’m not really sure if mine has developed e-enough to do so…”

“Can’t you try?” Kiba asked, gruffly. Hinata poked her fingers together for a moment before nodding, activating her byakugan. Both boys couldn’t resist leaning towards her, the first time either was getting the chance to be so close to an activated byakugan. She tried her best to brush off her nervousness and scanned the training grounds. Impatiently, Kiba stepped forward. “Well?”

“I-I’m not picking up her chakra signature…” Hinata said, softly as she strained her eyes to extend.

“She did say she was a master of genjutsu.” Shino let out a sigh, looking away from Hinata. “I should have planted a beetle on her.”

“Ew.” Kiba scrunched his nose. “Well, won’t get anywhere standing around. Let’s look for her.”

Kurenai watched with amusement from a distant tree at the trio. Shino was correct that she had placed a genjutsu over the trio, and she was curious to see if the young Hyūga could see through it yet. Evidently not, despite the weakness of the genjutsu. It was still just the first hour, so she held out hope they would be able to work out a strategy to find her and capture her.

“D-don’t Inuzuka have a s-strong sense of smell?” Hinata asked meekly.

“Well, yeah!” Kiba nodded, inhaling deeply. “But I can’t pick her up at all. You boy?” He raised his eyes to look up at his forehead. Akamaru let out a disappointed whine and Kiba shook his head.

“Genjutsu effects all senses.” Shino whispered, but was cut off by Kiba.

“Wait! I think I picked her up!” Kiba shouted, pointing in the direction of nothing at all. “Yeah, she’s over there!” Just as suddenly, he broke into a bolt towards whatever he was sensing, and Shino and Hinata exchanged a look before taking off after him. They watched in abject horror as Kiba seemed to be battling nothing at all.

“K-Kiba?” Hinata couldn’t get her volume high enough for him to hear over his grunting.

“C’mon, help me out here!” Kiba yelled after them as he seemingly was thrown into the ground. To him, he was battling Kurenai directly with the help of Akamaru. She was quick, dodging and countering his attacks as quickly as they came. The injuries he was sustaining were real.

“Seems she’s placed different genjutsu’s on us…” Shino quietly told Hinata. She watched as he attempted to intervene in Kiba’s fight, stepping in front of the boy. “It’s genjutsu-“

“Out of the way!” Kiba barked, shoving Shino to the side forcefully enough that he crashed on the ground. Hinata gasped, rushing to Shino’s side on the ground. His eyebrows were low now as he readjusted his glasses. “If you’re not gonna help, don’t get in my way!”

“K-K-K-“ Hinata could barely utter his name as she watched with fear as Kiba continued to be pummeled by an illusion.

“Idiot…” Shino muttered, climbing back to his feet. “We have to force him to stop.”

“H-how?” Hinata frowned, looking up at him. He shook his head.

“Hyūga are skilled in taijutsu, correct? Try to force him to fight you while I bound my beetles around him.” Hinata frowned at the idea of battling Kiba but nodded none the less. She knew he was likely the more intelligent of the two of them and was keen to trust him. “Step in front of him as he is about to launch a punch and block it. I’ll ready my beetles.”

“R-right.” Hinata sighed, wiggling her fingers as she focused chakra in her hands. “Byakugan!” She hopped onto a tree branch above the fight Kiba was engaging in with the illusion and scanned his movements for the right time. As he wound his arm, she let out a puff of air, letting herself fall in front of him and jutting out her forearm to take the brunt of the blow. He stumbled with wide eyes at the distraction.

“H-Hinata?!” He choked out, regaining his composure. “The hell? We’re supposed to fighting her, not each other!”

“K-Kiba, i-it’s a genjutsu!” She cried, holding her fists up ready to battle. “A-an illusion! You have to snap out of it!”

“I can smell her! It’s her! Now quit it and help me out, would ya?!” Kiba shouted, causing her to cringe away. He rolled his eyes and tried to hop over her to get to his illusionary enemy, but she swept his leg before his feet could hit the ground, causing him to fumble forward. “Shit!”

“I’m sorry.” She whispered as he looked at her with incredulous eyes that turned to fury.

“You’re not gonna make me fail!” Kiba growled, launching at her, but she was ready for him, chakra focused in her palms as he attempted to launch a barrage of hits on her. She skipped backwards as she blocked each one of them, ducking and returning with palms to his chest. She found his movements to be too clumsy, uncoordinated, unplanned. He didn’t seem to have a real strategy, just hit. It was unpredictable, she supposed, but easy to counter. She was trying her best not to land any critical blows. Suddenly she found her training with her father to be quite helpful. When she landed a blow hard enough to force him to the ground, he let out a painful chuckle. “Alright, you’re pretty good, I’ll give you that. I won’t go so easy, then-“ Kiba tried to raise to his feet only to find his feet bound. His eyebrows raised and eyes went wide as he realized- “what the HELL?! Get these gross things off me!” He shot his head up to Shino as he watched in panic as beetles made their way to his arms, bounding them to his torso.

“I’m sorry…” Hinata repeated, relaxing her hands to drop to her sides and deactivating her byakugan.

“So what, huh?!” Kiba spat as Akamaru whined, paws also tied up now. “You guys think I’m weak, right? So you’re gonna make me fail so you don’t have to be on a team with me?!” His eyes darkened. “Think you’re better than me.”

“N-no!” Hinata gasped, holding her hands out as if to pause him. Shino stayed silent. “K-Kiba, i-it’s not like that at all-“

“Since you’re a princess, you think you’re better than me!” Kiba accused, looking directly at her now. Her mouth dropped open as she took a step back from his heated words. “News flash, you’re not!”

“That’s enough.” Shino finally chimed in, stepping in front of Hinata.

“And you!” Kiba turned his attention to the Aburame. “You think you’re the leader of this team, huh? You’re just as stuck up as her!”

“Where is Kurenai-sensei, Kiba?” Shino asked, eyebrows raised expectantly. Kiba darted his eyes around before grimacing.

“You guys let her get away!”

“She was never here!” Both Hinata and Kiba leaned back in surprise at Shino’s raised voice. They had never heard him speak above an even level. He brought his index and middle finger to the bridge of his nose, pinching, annoyed. “You need to clear your head, Kiba. You’re acting irrationally, and that’s what she expects of you. That’s why she targeted you.” Kiba opened his mouth to interrupt, but Shino continued. “But it was a genjutsu. We need to take some time to analyze our surroundings, and we have to be strategic.”

Kiba finally shut his mouth, contemplating the words. As silence hung over them, Kurenai folded her arms, smiling. Shino had it figured out, it seemed. She did indeed target Kiba intentionally, sensing his hot-blooded temper and tendency to act before thinking. She also had a feeling Shino would be able to come up with a strategy to knock him out of the secondary genjutsu. And based on what she knew of the Hyūga's taijutsu, she figured Hinata would play a role in subduing him. Now she had to wait and see if they could pinpoint her, which is when the real fun would begin. She glanced up to see the sun directly above them, signaling noon.

“Perhaps we should eat before we continue…” Hinata said, quietly as she pulled her pack off her back, setting it down. Both boys raised their eyebrows at her.

“Didn’t bring anything.” Kiba said, roughly, looking away. Shino nodded in agreement. Hinata finally broke into a small smile.

“I brought you two some.” They looked up as she carefully pulled out three bento boxes. She walked up to Shino and shyly offered one, to which the boy reluctantly took it. Then she knelt down next to Kiba, still with his arms bound. He looked at her with suspicion. “Sh-Shino, could you unbound Kiba’s arms?”

Shino stared down at the boy momentarily. Kiba rolled his eyes. “C’mon! I’m not gonna do anything.” Finally, Shino nodded, recalling the beetles around his torso, but leaving the ones around his ankles. Hinata gingerly held out the other bento.

“Th-there’s extra meat in there, for Akamaru.” She smiled at him, and he looked up at her in surprise, then back down.

“Uh-that’s nice of you I guess, but he’s got a specific diet…” He mumbled, pulling open the bento and taking a sniff of the section she seemed to portion for the pup. His look of surprise returned as he didn’t detect anything out of the ordinary from the meat, in fact, it was close to how he himself would prepare for Akamaru. “Well…I mean, I guess…” He glanced back up at her to find her eyes closed with a little smile and he couldn’t help but return it.

“Thank you, Hinata.” Shino sat with his legs crossed next to the pair.

“Yeah, thanks.” Kiba nodded in agreement as Akamaru hopped to the ground between he and she, giving a tiny bark of gratitude before starting his meal.

The team ate quietly as each pondered their next course of action. Hinata found herself disappointed in her abilities, unable to see through the genjutsu like her clansmen could. Logically, she knew it was something that had to be practiced and came with time, but she still couldn’t shake the thought of her father’s disappointment if he found out. When she finished her lunch, she packed away the bento and then reactivated her byakugan to see if she could scan for their sensei.

“Trying again?” Kiba asked as he shoveled food in his mouth. Hinata wordlessly nodded without looking at him. Kiba darted his eyes over to Shino. “Can you let me out now? I think my time out should be over.” He pouted, eyeing the bugs around his ankles warily.

“You should apologize to Hinata.” Shino said, quietly. Kiba rolled his eyes.

“I’m sorry, alright?!” Hinata flinched at his accusatory tone as he turned his attention to her. At her unease, he softened, willing himself to lower his tone, something he would have to get used to doing. “I-I’m sorry, Hinata. I didn’t mean those things.” She finally turned to him and he looked with mild awe at the veins around her eyes. He couldn’t tell if he thought it looked freaky or cool. Maybe both. He cleared his throat. “You don’t seem stuck up. I have…kind of a temper. I’ll work on it.”

“We can help you work on it.” She offered with a small smile. He snickered.

“I dunno, I kind of do think you are stuck up, Shino.” He bounced his eyes back to the stoic boy who turned his head from him, unaffected. “Don’t think you can take the title of leader so easily.”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Shino said, coolly as he recalled the beetles around his ankles. Kiba let out a sigh of relief as he stretched his legs.

“See anything Hinata?” Kiba asked as he lidded the bento, handing it to her. She shook her head gently, deactivating the byakugan.

“I may be able to detect her.” Shino chimed in, and both looked at him. “Kikaichu are immune to genjutsu. If I can focus chakra enough, they may be able to seek her out without being fooled by an illusion.”

“Oh yeah?” Kiba jumped up, hands on his hips. “Why didn’t you do that in the first place, genius?” Shino crinkled his nose at the sarcasm.

“Because I wasn’t sure if it would work, I’ve never had my beetles face genjutsu before. I wanted to try other strategies first.” Shino said. “I do not see you coming up with any other ideas.”

Hinata stood up as well and poked her fingers together. “P-please don’t fight. Could you try it, Shino? Perhaps if they find her, I can attempt to confirm with my byakugan.”

Shino nodded, getting to his feet as well. He closed is eyes as he raised his hands, Kiba flinching at what seemed like hundreds of beetles flowing from underneath his sleeves. Hinata watched with amazement, eyes following their path. She activated her byakugan once more to see the hundreds of tiny, tiny little chakra signatures. Kiba glanced at Hinata’s look of wonder, then at Shino, who was looking at Hinata with a small smile behind his collar. Kiba’s cheeks reddened as he realized Shino was expressing happiness at Hinata’s seeming enjoyment of the beetles. He rolled his eyes, shaking his head.

“So? They find her?” Kiba asked, hurriedly. Shino didn’t respond, so Hinata responded for him.

“Give it some time, m-maybe? It isn’t likely to be-instant.” Shino nodded, focusing his attention on a certain direction. Kiba huffed impatiently while Akamaru let out a high-pitched growl. He folded his arms and turned his body the same way Shino was facing, tapping his foot.

The trio stood in silence, the only sound between them being the low buzzing of the beetles. Hinata continued to scan with her byakugan, willing herself to extend it’s reach. She made sure to keep an eye on where the signatures of the swarms of beetles were going as well. Kiba focused chakra to his nose as he tried to detect her, but knew it was mostly useless, unfortunately. He was trying to shake off the feeling that he was the loser of the team.

In the trees, Kurenai grinned as she held out the palm of her hand for a beetle to land on it. “Well done, Shino.” She whispered as it settled. She chuckled as she heard Kiba’s boisterous call for them to get going, now that Shino seemed to have a lock on her. “Here they come.”

The four looked on as Kurenai hit the ground in front of them, one knee on the ground and hands planted. Hinata quickly scanned her with the byakugan and the two boys and pup looked at her expectantly. Quickly, she nodded her confirmation that it was indeed Kurenai’s chakra network she was viewing and they begun their attempt at capturing her. Hinata launched first, to become toe to toe with Kurenai, and they engaged in hand to hand. Behind her Shino had hopped backwards and held out his arm for a healthy swarm of beetles to engage. Then, Kiba weaved a quick hand sign to engage in his Four Legs Technique.

Hinata gracefully dodged and blocked Kurenai’s attacks, but found herself struggling to land any hits herself. She gasped when Kiba came barreling down behind Kurenai, looking quite different, more animalistic than she remembered as he came down to strike her. Kurenai seemed ready though, and ducked so that he was face to face with Hinata, about to unleash a blow on her instead. Suddenly, Shino’s beetles formed a protective wall in front of Hinata, taking the brunt of Kiba’s assault.

“Shit!” Kiba shouted, bouncing off of the bugs as if they were springy. He shot his glare from the beetles to Shino’s location, and couldn’t act fast enough when he saw Kurenai appear behind him. “Shino!”

Hinata gasped as Kurenai swiftly struck him in the small of his back, causing him to double over, falling to his hands and knees. Both scrambled to aid him, but once they were with him, she had already quickly weaved another hand sign and vanished.

“Are you okay, Shino?” Hinata dropped to her knees and grabbed his shoulders, gently pulling him up. Shino let out a haggard cough, as he straightened up.

“C’mon, up! We can’t let her get away!” Kiba growled, roughly grabbing Shino’s forearm to yank him up. Hinata held out her palms to steady him, looking at him with concern. He shuddered slightly at all of the physical contact his teammates were giving him, but brushed it off, nodding towards Kiba. The other two nodded resolutely as Hinata scanned for her again. Quickly, she pointed at the treetops and Shino sent his beetles flying that way. Kiba cracked his knuckles, “let’s see if we can draw her towards us, huh?”

“Right.” Shino nodded in agreement as he followed Kiba’s line of logic that because he wasn’t as skilled at hand-to-hand combat, they should stick together and bait her out. His beetles swarmed her, following her as she leapt away. He reached into his right satchel and pulled out several shuriken, readying them. Hinata put a foot forward as Kurenai landed back on the ground, elegantly evading the beetles attempt to encage her. Kiba got back into his Four Leg position, Akamaru at his side as Kurenai suddenly disappeared from their vision. Almost instinctively, the four formed something like a triangle, backs to one another as they carefully scanned for her. All of them shivered simultaneously as something seemingly washed over them, relieving a weight they did not know was there.

“I believe the genjutsu has been released…” Hinata whispered. Kiba perked an eyebrow as he inhaled deeply.

“But I can’t smell her.” Kiba frowned, darting his eyes back and forth. Akamaru growled in agreement.

“And I can’t see her…” Hinata said as well.

“My kaikachu cannot sense her.” Shino’s quiet voice added.

Then, suddenly, she appeared in front of them with a wide smile, causing all four to jump slightly. She held up her hands as a show to have them back down, and all relaxed, albeit confused as they turned to face her. “You three…” she paused at Akamaru’s quiet growl, then added, “-four-pass!”

“What?” Kiba yelled, though Kurenai did not flinch. “We didn’t even capture you!” Hinata nodded tentatively in agreement. Kurenai giggled, setting a light hand on top of his messy hair.

“You wouldn’t be able to if you tried.” Kurenai teased, albeit seriously. “The test was of your ability to strategize and work as a team.”

“Hm.” Shino hummed, tilting his head.

“And you four did wonderfully! You had a rough time at first, but were able to quickly realize where the weaknesses in each other were, and compensated for each other appropriately.” She explained. “By the end of it, you had a solid strategy in place and seemed quite ready to take me on. Now, we will work on improving your strengths, and lessening your weaknesses. You complement each other quite well, even if you do not realize it yet.”

The confusion on Hinata and Kiba’s faces slowly turned to one of happiness, perhaps pride, and though Shino was quite expressionless, a small smile was evident on his features.

“But we won’t worry about that just yet.” Kurenai assured with a smile. “We will start the real work tomorrow. Today, we will have our first meal together as team eight.” Kiba fist pumped at the offer. “Any objections to sushi? My treat.”

The four looked at each other briefly, seemingly taking a moment to let her words sink in. Today was the day team eight would be officially formed under Kurenai. All seemed to feel a sense of pride, completely unaware of what their future would hold, the good and the bad. For now, they were bright eyed and ready to take on whatever challenges they were faced, as a team.

ーrevenge

Naruto wants revenge. He is usually the type of guy who can forgive people rather easily. But, this time, he doesn't have it in him to forgive Kiba and Shino. He wants revenge.

What Hinata said yesterday really got him so mad, and dare he say, jealous.

"Uh-hum. There were times Kiba-kun and Shino-kun tried to set me up with some guys, in attempt to help me moving on from you."

"What?! They have no right to make you give up on your feelings!"

"Well, I was so helpless back then. I guess, they couldn't stand it anymore, that's why..."

Naruto clenches his fist, fully prepared to execute his plan, ready to attack. He approaches Kiba who is now walking with Akamaru on his side, seems like they're going to the training ground.

When Naruto gets near him, he lifts up his palm and slaps his back, hard. Really hard. So hard that he could bet there is a reddening palm mark beneath his clothes.

"What the actual fuckㅡ!!" Kiba curses loudly, ready to take a stance and fight whoever the hell makes his back hurt, "N-Naruto?!!! What the fuck was that for?!!!"

"Oh, my bad! There was a big mosquito on your back!"

Naruto opens his palm for Kiba to see. Kiba's eyes widens when he notices there's actually a scribble 'mosquito' written on his palm.

"That's my revenge for setting up Hinata with some random dude back then," Naruto says with a sly grin then dashes in a lighting speed, disappearing within the woods.

Leaving Kiba with his jaw dropped, gaping like a fish trying to breathe in air.

Serve him right.

Now, where are you, Shino?

[lexpressobean]

I've been thinking about these 3 alot...

... and how much they seem to really respect Shino. I know it's a filler, but, like... Why does it seem like Shino has a knack for finding children who have wondered off away from school? Like, he's just taking a walk, making his way around the village or surrounding forest, and then there they are. Kids playing hooky or some shit. And Shino just takes it upon himself to approach them and steer them back to where they should be, while getting them attached to him somehow in the process??

But honestly. If this was just one of many times this had happened, I'd say Shino does this not out of his knack for teaching or having a way with kids. Rather, he developed a way with kids and easily applies that to his teaching because he has a strong desire to simply protect children. And it's not even from some paternal instinct as much as survival, because I think it stems from the developing trauma of losing Torune to Danzo. And I don't think it's all subconscious either.

Like I know the novel and anime frames his desicion to teach as a sort of a new goal in life as the war has ended for a couple years already and a noticable Peace has been achieved by the Blank Period and well... He's an Aburame.

Like, the Aburame are literal living, breathing, walking bioweapons. With no fight to utilize that, what else is there? Well, much like the Nara have the Nara forest and Pharmacology specifically, The Aburame most likely have a historical stake in the area of Konoha, perhaps it was simply in their Ancestral Home. Idk, but they're here to stay, they ain't budging. They're Clan Culture is very Martial and I'd argue Spartan in nature, but otherwise, they do other things too. I think they'd do well as major players in the conservation and research of native species of animals and plants, but definitely insects too. I bet they play a huge part in the general area's ecosystem, especially due to the fact that the Kamizuru clan attacked with a whole clan's worth of non-native Hymenoptera that could very well have become and still are an irritatingly and consistent problem as invasive species tend to be. And as a far as goods go, why not put some of them to use and handle an apiary? Honey is a great good to sell. All of this is great as a clan that no longer needs to fight. But, what about individual members in general, and so Shino?

Well Shino is the Heir of this clan. This Noble Clan. This "ready to throw hands at any moment" clan. It's future is in his hands, so to speak. So I doubt Shino would completely sever his connection to Shinobi life all together. And so, teaching at the Academy would be a great way to keep that connection. Teachers have to know their stuff, after all.

But what if in order to ensure teaching was his calling, Shino did his absolute best to make Jounin ASAP so he could take on a Genin Team. And. And by chance, it ended up being these three?? And they are absolutely STOKED!!! And they also pass Shino's genin test, which... would probably be a feat in it's own right. But they already know Shino, and Shino has bestowed upon them some wisdom they actually took to heart! Yeah, well, in reality they might be just a tad too old to be Shino's first official genin squad, but they were still his squad one point in a sense, right?

Kon Nohara, Tano Ikemoto, and Aoki Kobayashi

I even gave them names help Imagine these three are already chuunin at least and decide they want to pay Shino a visit and even volunteer to help Shino during class time on a collective day off because they admire him so much (T~T)

But even then if not these three kiddos, maybe these three li'l shits lol

Even in times of Peace, Shino's special set of skills seem too useful to waste, and being a Jounin teacher would definitely have been a way he could still go on missions, but also definitely commit to becoming a Sensei at the academy once he was 100% sure and got older. Kurenai became a Jounin/Genin Squad Leader in her late twenties, but in comparison I see Shino doing that more mid-20s. (He needs some time to travel and find his big bug friend and generally live a little?)

Kurenai was a Genjutsu Specialist who manned a Tracker/Sensing based team. This sounds like it was a highly beneficial combination, even if she ended up being somewhat sadistic lol. Asuma was bound to Team 10 by Tradition as InoShikaCho and Sarutobi have that Pact together. Kakashi's team was literally Cherry Picked for him specifically by the 3rd Hokage. And Gai, a Taijutsu Specialist, had a team that Specialized in Taijutsu and Physical Offense.

Of all four teams, Kurenai and Gai were very suited to their teams, Gai in a complimentary way and Kurenai in a Challenging way. In that same vein, I think Shino would imitate Gai. Shino as a Shinobi himself has a general set of skills, but the way he goes about them are very niche. But, he was always very stealthy, and could sneak up on nearly anyone. Gags aside, he could go unnoticed as long as he wanted too, and by the time he was noticed or was ready to attack, he has you quite literally surrounded. Honestly I can see why Search and Destroy would be an Aburame's forte, but when there's no need, a person with a personal skill of high quality stealth could probably man a team with an emphasis on Reconnaissance and/or Surveillance, even Bodyguarding. I feel like Shino would probably put an emphasis on Stealth and Tracking too, utilizing his insects as sort of assistants that keep tabs on his students (Stealth Test) as well as to encourage just enough fear during too much down time in his students to inspire quality training opportunities, so maybe Kurenai rubbed off on Shino more than they all realized haha

(Plus I'm sure his students would be be smart and thoughtful enough to eventually understand what Shino and his bugs are: a complete unit. They realize just how strong and dedicated Sensei really is to be the way he is, and they all learn more in depth about Kikaichu and it's like WOW SENSEI YOU REALLY ARE RISKING BEING EATEN ALIVE EVERY SINGLE DAY, AREN'T YOU? But he's still here, because THAT'S how strong he's become over the years and the confidence to manipulate the Kikaichu while having to think of current chakra level, the most efficient use at any given time, how many he actually needs, how long usage will last, ect. They are high maintenance, man!)

Shino would no doubt produce highly skilled Bodyguards and Masters of Stealth. Maybe the type that would end up being in high demand for the eventual Celebrities that start to pop up as times change, but still very much needed when it comes to Criminal Activity, like in Sora-Ku?

But as time passes and he decided to teach at the Academy, he'd feel very at ease to do so. He'd be happy to be put in charge of all these children, because he would be able to help teach them things they need to know to defend themselves and others in a world where adults like Danzo had and will continue to exist. Maybe while he's at it, he'd use his stance as a Noble Clan Heir and accomplished Shinobi to push for changes in government with Sai's help and with Naruto and Shikamaru's cooperation? Like, the truth does come out, everyone on the Council were actually horrible and had too much power. So HERE are some ideas and REASONS why these ideas should be implemented because Shino's not going to let his brother's life and death be in vain!? HELL no, we WILL make some changes around here. Shino sees his students and just wants a future where no kid ever has to live in fear of being completely taken advantage of by the very system that was supposed to keep them safe and they pledged allegiance to.

I cannot help but think of the quiet but absolute fear little Shino was harboring for the years to come after Torune was taken by that strange man and Father Shibi didn't even attempt to stop him. His own father didn't dare beat the shit out of this strange man who came looking for him, and the only solution for Shino to stay was for Torune to make himself look more desirable as an asset and be taken instead. I bet there was a lot of misplaced resentment there for a while, and talks that just didn't happen. Maybe a classmate doesn't show up to class one day and Shino is IMMEDIATELY stressed out and just... takes it upon himself to look for them after class. And he's relieved when he see they're simply at home with a fever. Shit like that just fucks with Shino, because theres people taking kids and no one is doing anything about it?? And then as Shino grew older he realized exactly what happened and how slimy the machine of Konoha really is and it was never completely Shibi's fault that Torune had to leave. He grows mentally at a faster rate than most of his classmates, and knows more than a kid really needs to know.

Shino doesn't want that for any other child. Shino is the kind of person who hears kids screaming outside of his house and he can't tell if they're playing or being murdered and it's stressful to the point he'll check through his window and he sees them for himself. He get stressed out seeing a kid in public unattended and WANTS to approach them to help if need be but also maybe he's overthinking it and the parents are there somewhere and he'd just end up looking suspicious. Like, that's what I kind of figure for Shino. He's so hyperaware of the power dynamic between kids and adults and seeing a kid so ready to fall victim to that makes Shino feel ill the more he thinks of what could happen. And he wonders if watching the kid in the market until they finally reunite with their parent so he could move on with the rest of his day causes him even a fraction of the the utterly disgusting flurry of nerves and fear that Shibi must have felt all those years ago. It goes along with his desire to spare every single little insect's life he can. It goes a long with the fact he only gets violent unless absolutely necessary. Like he wants to be strong but he doesn't want to go mad with power either, less he becomes the very thing that hurt him and his family in the first place.

Originally Shino wanted to become strong to be able to defend himself because at a very young age adults failed him and Torune. But then that changes to defend not only himself, but others as he grows on a team, and realizes trust is important. And then he figured if there must be adults out there that would hurt a child, it's only logical that he should become one that would only nurture and teach one to be strong as well.

Anyway, yeah. Had some feelings. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Wasted life chapter one

Sakura...Sakura Haruno..ready to do anything to get her precious uchiha boy to love her anything..even murder...or trying to murder...

It was a calm morning in konoha everyone was with their family and loved one..The nanadaime hokage Uzumaki Naruto was home with his loving wife and his beloved children spending a chill morning in their living room next to Neji's picture on the Tv stand was the picture of a 17 years old girl with dark skin, deep black hair style in a bun and rinnegan in both of her eyes smiling with one arm around naruto's shoulders while he had one around her waist in a friendly way his other arm was holding hinata's hand while she was smiling with them that girl..was the last living uchiha female..

Uchiha Ahmya

She was shisui's little sister born from a mistake shisui's father made by conceiving her with an uzumaki named himari,she was a janitor at the police station.Having your husband cheating on you is one thing but having the kid born from that mistake under your roof is another thing..so shisui's mother killed herself two month after ahmya's birth himari did not handle the situation and end up deserting konoha lefting her daugther behind...

So ahmya grow up with shisui's mom death on her mind and grow up with sasuke,they were really close and were always seen together since her father never get over his wife death he couldnt take care of ahmya and since shisui was really busy at that time being an anbu she would spend days at sasuke's place she even got her own toothbrush in their bathroom,her own seat at the kitchen table, have some of her chooses in their genkan.Mikoto and fugaku were aware of how she get into the world but they never blamed her for her father's mistake neither did shisui who was a loving big brother.

When shisui die ahmya move in sasuke's home and became a part of the family she even called fugaku and mikoto "mom and dad" at least even tho it was hard to get over her big bro's death she was happy to live with sasuke cause nobody was bullying her anymore cause nobody want to mess with the uchiha leader's daugther

People use to bully and avoid her because of she was born with rinnegan eyes the mix of uzumaki and uchiha made her have both of ashura's and indra's chakra so she obtain the rikudo's eyes:rinnegan but people were still scared even Danzo was aware of the birth of a child with rinnegan and it made him more eager to end the uchiha.

After itachi killed the whole clan sasuke and her were stuck together always together they even move in together...when sasuke leave the village to join orochimaru he kissed her on the side of her head..a promise that he will come back..

Years and years later during the 4th ninja war they were figthing together..ahmya was seriously injured and disapear from sasuke 's eyes for a while after kaguya got sealed sakura suddenly came out of nowhere and claim that ahmya was dead sasuke was shattered...completly shattered sakura was chill about it naruto and the others were also hurt especially kurenai who was her third mother,tsunade who made her the youngest doctor the awoke byakugou

Naruto, her brother from the heart, hinata and ino her besties for life,shikamaru her eternal shoji partner, temari her partner in crime, shino her dear friend she make him confident about himself and gain selflove,choji her best buddy to go eat with, kiba her playing mate, Neji her best partner to go on mission with,rock lee and Gai sensei who teach her how to be Youthful like a lotus flower, Tenten who teach many tricks about ninja weapons , Asuma sensei who gave her the habit of smoking and teach how to use her wind chakra nature,kakashi sensei who read with her and go buy the new edition of icha icha paradise ...All of them were missing her but no one saw her body and sakura been quiet about it and never want to answer..

Everyone know what happend after that..everyone try to get over it and get married but everyone knows that sakura have always hate ahmya and they dont believe her but they say nothing thinking that they will found out the truth one day Sai and the other men were still investigating about ahmya's "death"

Sakura is happy she marry the man of her dream and had a 13years-old chunin teen daugther but little she knows that karma is a bitch...

This chapter was an introduction the actual story will start in chapter 2 and ill go into details about her relationship with each of them in it thank you for reeading it .❤❤❤

[depressedhatakekakashi]

It's rainy season here where i'm from and y'know what that means- Insects, lots and lots of insects coming in your house like nobody's business. If you don't close your lights then flies of an unknown variety would go swirling around the lightbulb like a tornado pretty much the entire night (and they also really like humans so invest in earplugs and be ready to wake up itchy and find a massacre of bugs on your bed) so it basically means that the entire neighborhood looks like it had a black out, also they're just really noisy?? like holy cow i could still hear the little shits over the goddamn thunder,

This is basically just a long way of saying that Team 8 sleepovers must be a blast when it's Shino's turn- atleast then they're friendly and won't circle around you like a mob ready to attack you inside your ear T.T

Shino is used to the sound of the bugs and it’s actually comforting to him so it doesn’t even occure to him during the first sleep over that the bugs could bother Hinata and Kiba

But as soon as Kiba complain’s shino’s like ‘oh, ok’ and then the bugs just stop. They’ll get to have their fun tomorrow during the day, they need to chill tonight so his friends can sleep.

And it’s not just HIS bugs that chill. His bugs get all the other bugs to chill so there’s nothing. No flies in Kiba’s face, no spiders tryna sneak up on Hinata while she’s walking under a tree

The bugs like shino because he’s nice to them so they keep away when he’s with friends (when it’s just him the swarm him because they adore him and he adores all of them)

Finding shino hanging in a forest with spiders and bee’s and all sorts of insects around him is a perfectly normal occurence (Shibi and Torune and other Aburames as well) they’re like disney princess’ but for bugs XD

Sick Day

{Harumo’s room}

The Sun rises to the world of Tokyo,dark areas illuminated, the greens and living beings, everyone in the world of the unknown,And speaking of unknown, in one of the dorms rooms of Shinjuku Academy lies a young chubby boy with hundreds of simps [literally] lay dormant in his room resting from all the fighting and all nighters they do because everyday is a new huge event for him, The curtains sway lightly as the wind  passes through,the room begins to bring color as the rising run brings joy to some individuals, There the chubby hero name Harumo covered in blankets still asleep even though he was about to be late for his classes starting right........now..

Lil Salomon: Wakey-wakey master its time to get up, You’re going to be late for school again.....Master?

Your forevor close buddy familiar attempts to wake you up,however you appear  unresponsive to his pleas. But something about your silence begins to worry him.

Lil Salomon: Master!,Master!,Wake up!

Attempting to wake you up again in a panic state,circling around your blankets shaking any area to atleast make you twitch,however it doesn’t work.. This only made your butler more worried,because of the fact he can’t be seen by other people and only you can see him, he cannot go to your classmates for aid as well as his father Mr Mononobe whom can see Salomon if he has the ring,that is now in your right ring finger.

[KNOCKING OF A DOOR]

Lil Salomon:  Who could that be?!

Shiro: Harumo?,are you up!, You’re gonna be late again for class.

Lil Salomon: What Luck!... Master!, you’re friends are here to see you,Master please wake up.

He tries to wake you up again,

Lil Salomon: Ma-Master?, {Touches forehead}...ow! Oh my goodness!, Master you’re burning up! 

Harumo.....*soft groan*....

{Thud}

Ryota: Did you guys hear that?

Shiro: Yes, i did,Harumo what was that noise?

Kengo:Step aside you two.

Ryota: Kengo?, what are you doing?

Kengo: Im gonna punch that cute ass of his if he doesn’t wake up.

Shiro:Absolutely not Kengo!, You’re going to break school property!.

Lil Salomon: How am i going to tell them,,,Uhmm......Oooohhhhhh thats it!HOLD ON MASTER!

.

.

Ryota: Wahhh!,,what the?,, 

A  piece of paper mysteriously appeared on Ryota’s shoe..

 Ryota: HELP?!

Shiro: What the?...HARUMO!,,{KNOCKING}

Shiro: Kengo break the door!

Kengo: RARRRGGHHH!

With no hesitation Kengo easily breaks the door down with his mighty kick as strong as horse’s gallop.A loud bang with a surprise for the trio waiting for them as they found themselves shocked to enter your room with you on the floor,

Ryota: Harumo!, 

Kengo:Partner what happen?!

Shiro touches your forehead.

Shiro:{Gasp} Harumo,you’re burning up! 

Ryota: Shiro, we have to bring them to the clinic 

Shiro: Kengo grab Harumo and bring them to Shennong’s clinic,Hurry!

Kengo: Right! Hold on partner! will get you to Shennong! so hang in there!

Kengo lifts you up with both hands carrying you as Kengo looks at you with a serious yet scared face followed by Shiro,whom is both running with him as he checks on your body along with Ryota, who is seen almost on the verge of tears as he looks upon his friend while hearing the soft groans as a slight displacement is enough to hurt them...

{Kabukicho} 

In a old abandoned building in Kabukicho, a lone transient is seen sleeping on the couch, with his usual expression, though in some moments it changes to a happy one, where he could be seen smiling. i wonder what they’re dreaming about?

.

{Shino”s Dream} 

.

.

In a calm peaceful forest in Shino”s homeworld, Lays a medium sized hut with a  large window next to the entrance with a small workshop underneath it. There the chimney is seen being lit as puffs of smoke exits from it,indicating that someone is cooking...Waiking slowly to the door the gray fured therian sees.. 

Shino: Beloved,,, i have returned... 

.

.

.

Harumo: Hello Shino, Welcome back! 

Shino: Yes, my dear. that smells nice,

Harumo: Well, thats because im cooking your favorite today,

*COUGHING* 

.

Shino: Harumo?.... 

His ears twitch as he went to see his dear coughing and it appears They’re trying to cover it. 

Shino: Harumo...are you ill?..

Harumo:*coughing small amounts of blood*...

Shino:.you’re not well!, you medical assistance! 

Harumo:*coughing....

Shino steps in to catch you from falling as your knees begin to gave out,,as soon as he lifts you up in his arms like a knight carrying they’re princess,

But as soon,as Shino turns back...

.

.

.

.

Shino: {Gasp}..... NO!!!....

.

.

{PIERCING SOUND}

An unexpected arrow,was fired as Shino’s back....

Shino: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hunter:i’’ve found him!....

Other Hunter:There he is!,, Fire! 

Shino: Harumo!...Hold on!

Harumo:Ahhh!,,

Shino: I won’t let them harm you my beloved! 

Hunter: Fire at him! 

{Piercing sound} 

Shino: Thaaaa! 

Even with arrows sticking out of his back, Shino takes a stance in fury and readys his sword,with his paw clutched,Shino could never forgive the ones that try to harm his dearly beloved.

Other Hunter: He’s gettin ready to attack,,defend yourself! 

Shino: I WILL TEARS OFF YOUR HEADS! ..

Harumo:*Coughing*

Hunter:His coming! 

Running furiously,sword in hand and paw ready to grab the head,  Shino,,full on runs towards the two hunters in rabid speeds even though he was hit with two arrows on his back,but it seems to have no effect on him as he was about near the hunter who shot the first arrow...

Shino: YOUR HEAD!

Hunter: aHHHH!

Harumo: SHINOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Shino: Huh,,,Harumo....

Just moments away from pulling his neck, Shino heard the cries of his beloved and stopped him from taking his life,,,however hunters,,,give no mercy to their prey.....

Shino: You dispicable!

Harumo:...*coughing

With his sharp animal senses, and even more high alert, Shino spots the hunter about to stab him,. 

Harumo: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! 

Shino:I DON’T THINK SO!

Other hunter: No! {Fires an arrow}

 Shino dodges the incoming arrow,with the unconcious hunter out of commisioned,the now calm Shino hurrys back and sweeps up and hunt continues on..

Harumo:*coughing*....

Shino: Just hold on a little longer, and we’ll be there. 

Harumo: T-thank you Shino,,,,for sparing his life..

Shino:.....

 .

.

Shino: Look, we’re nearly out,,just hold on a--

{Pierce}  

Harumo: Ahhh!!! 

Shino: Harumoooo!!!!

While near the exit of the forest,a lone hunter is seen in a firing postion,as though they have been waiting for a while and shotted an arrow hitting Harumo in they’re right side....

Shino: Harumo....Harumo!!...YOU!!!!!

As the blood of his beloved’s body spreads, 

Harumo: Ahhhhhh!!!,,,,,*Coughs blood. 

Shino tries to take down the lone hunter,,but alas,,,the hunter had shot an arrow in Shino’s chest piercing his heart...as they fall,,and slowly close they’re eyes,,,The image of his beloved covered in blood on the ground as Shino can only see the life of his beloved eye’s slowly fade away....

{WAKES UP} 

Shino: Thaaa!!!----*gasping* *sweating*....

Shino: *Gasping* I..its...its just a dream...*gasping*  

Shino:My lord.....

Ebisu: Phew.......{sips tea}

Resting calmy  on a bench, he stares blankly at the tranquil sea, as it reflects the rays of the sun,and the many fishing boats moving rapidly to their fishing spots. 

Ebisu: Its so beautiful....*sigh*

Sitting on the bench,reminded him of the person who sat next to him, in comfort, 

Ebisu:......

{Memory}

Harumo: Can i sit here? 

Ebisu: .....

Moritaka: I--Well,,thank you for the compliement!

As soon as Toji enters,he immediately examines your forehead, to check your temperature..

Toji: huh...you’re burning up.

Chernobog: My Heroic one,

Harumo: Never seen you wore the uniform before...

Chernobog: Yes, it came to me just now,,its a miracle they found a size for me.

Shiro: Moritaka, is the towel cold? 

Chernobog: What is the purpose of this towel on you? 

Chernobog points at your towel that Moritaka checks if its cold. 

Moritaka: This is a towel that they use to cool down Harumo, we drenched it in cold water and put it on their forehead..Oh no! 

Shiro: What is it Moritaka? 

Moritaka: The water is warm now. 

Chernobog: Let me..

Chernobog summons a small cloud over the bowl of water and rained ice from it. 

Moritaka: That was amazing Chernobog, how did you do that.?

Ryota: You’re a wizard Chernobog.!

Chernobog: it is the power granted to me of being the dark lord of Bald Mountain. 

Moritaka dips the towel into the now cold water that is giving off a cold air, 

Moritaka: Its so cold!, that my hands are going to freeze, There we go! 

Harumo: Shhhhh,,,ahhhh,,,,

Chernobog: Is it too cold Harumo? 

Harumo: No,,,Its just right...

Ryota: Okay, I know you haven’t eaten in a while, so,, i packed you some delicious snacks and also Choji ask me to feed you some chicken soup.. 

Ryota places a handful of snacks comprise of chips, fruit juices and also Karaage that Choji saved for you.

Shiro:Good thinking Choji,it will surely help Harumo

Harumo: ....ow....uhm,,can you feed it to me?

Ryota: W-what?,,o-okay say ahhhhh....

Ryota takes a spoon of chicken soup ..

Harumo:Ahhhhhh,,,  Mmmmmm,,,This is delicious.. 

Chernobog: Is this a tradition when one is ill? 

Harumo: Do you want to feed me too Chernobog? 

Chernobog: I-....Well...if it aids in your recovery. then  i shall..

Ryota hands Chernobog the spoon, and gently takes a spoon of chicken soup,being cautious as to not break or drop it,by his massive fingers.

Chernobog: Say ahhhhh...

{Mmmmmm,,,,,*Gulp*} 

Chernobog: Is it to your liking? 

Harumo: It was delicious Thank you Chernobog!

A smile finally appears to your face as,, you have seen all the people that will take care of you...

Chernobog: My pleasure.. .

Harumo: ahh.....my...throat .

You hold your throat as you try to speak,,in every second you try to speak your throat feels like a burning furnace inside you.. 

Ryota: Here Harumo,,,some orange juice,,

Ryota hands you a can of  orange juice with a straw in it...and slowly sip.

You can still feel a slight sharp pierceing feeling,when you sip the orange juice,, as your tonsils are inflammed.. 

Harumo: Mmmm,,mmm,,, 

You start to feel drowsy and fatigued as you slowly lean on your backside.

Your friends can only watch you wreath in pain and sweat like you’re running a marathon, as they have seen you triump in many hard battles, and always went ahead with a fierce smile on your face, but now,,that smile is nay in the present ,for as they see infront of them is a highschool student in pain,,, 

As Ryota wipes away your sweat, he worrys more,as he looks more closely to your face, 

.

Ryota: Harumo..whats wrong?!

Moritaka: Ryota move!

.

.

Harumo:Blaaaagghhhh!!

Chernobog:Harumo! 

Shiro: Moritaka,,could you go flush Harumo’s vomit away.

Moritaka: Oof!, that is most unpleasant.

 Toji: You were:somewhat aware of that happening..

Moritaka: To tell you the truth, I’ve experienced having fevers from past years during those times and i have learned the symptoms.

Harumo: *groans*  

Shiro: Oh Harumo...

 Kengo: Partner...

{Door Opens} 

..

.

Shennong: Whoah!,,,well this is,,uhm,,  

.Shiro: Shennong, Harumo just vommited just now, what does that mean? 

Shennong: Lets see....

Taking into account that Shennong was the military medic of the Warmongers,and you could expect that whenever training goes into the walls of Penitentia Academy, you would expect the training regime to be brutalizing.

 To the point where some trainess would even vomit out of exhaustion or go cranky, or even losing their lives to its merciful dictatorship, whereas  Shennong have seen the dark side of being a medic and as he calmly examines  

The body of the that person, he as already a prognosis. 

Shennong: Well, They’re temperature hasn’t changed, Lets just give them some rest, I’’ll have one of you take Harumo in a wheel chair, so you can get them back to their dorm,after school,because i won’t be present by that time.   

. Shiro: Understood Shennong. 

Kengo: Yeah, but whose gonna take them? 

Shiro: Well off course it should be me, 

Kengo: Huh!, who made you chief here? im going to do it. 

Ryota: Shouldn’t it be me, since im the closest to his dorm.

Moritaka: Comrades, cease yourselves, im much more qualified to do it!

Toji: I’ll have to intefere with that bold proclamation of yours Inuzuka. I swore to protect Harumo, so I’ll be escorting them, 

Ryota: No ME! 

Shiro and Kengo: ME! 

Bickering over to whom shall be entrusted to carry out the responsibility of escorting them back to their dorm, one individual angrily intervenes. 

.

Chernobog: RRRR...ENOUGH!

 Everyone:.....

Harumo: {Shivering} 

Chernobog: Your bickering has cause Harumo discomfort, I’ll be the one escorting them back to their dorm room, Do i make myself clear! 

Summoners: ........Okay....

Shennong: I’’ll also have to mention that someone has to stay with them, incase they feel any pain or to replace their towel with cold water. 

The room falls into an awkward silence,An uneasy stare off, and then.

.

.

.

Shiro and Kengo: I’ll be staying with them! No me! 

Ryota: NO ME! 

Moritaka and Toji: ME! 

Chernobog: RRRRRRRR.....

 Harumo: *groan*,,,guys,,,,*coughing*

As you attempt to breath out a word, you continue to cough aggresively.

Harumo: .....Guys....please.. don’t fight!.....

You released those words just before falling sleep, 

.

.Shennong: Thats it!, im going to the one assigning,,,, Chernobog, you’d be the one to escort them back to their dorm and gonna spend the night with them..Do i make myself clear!      

Summoners:..Yes.. 

Shennong: Good, use that whellchair there to transport them after school,got it? 

Chernobog: Yes, i understand.

Shennong: Check if his towel is cold before  going to bed,and you will the one feeding them, i highly recommend feeding them soup, 

Shennong:That way its digestable,and if they can’t taste it,do not worry,  its normal when you have fever and after meals, have them swallow this pills,..Understand Chernobog? 

Chernobog: i understand it all. 

 Shennong: Thats good to hear, now run along kids, lunch time is over by this hour correct? 

 Shiro: Oh crap!, We have to hurry you lot! See you later Harumo.. 

After every visitor have said they’re goodbyes to them, The afternoon classes can finally resume.. 

Chernobog:.....

.

.

.

.

[Dorm} 

Meanwhile, As the afternoon classes had begun, a lone figure slowly waiks in a  familiar room, only to discover a scene that sends chills down their spine. 

.

.

Horkeu Kamui: Huh?,,,What the?!

Horkeu Kamui: What on earth happened here?

The worried shocked faced transient, looks inside to find it to be a total mess,as scattered pieces of wood are scattered throughout the floor,the airconditioner still open,and a stack of books,journals and other reading material spread around their study desk. 

its as if someone had broken inside, maybe someone very strong broke in and did someting to that person,  

.

Horkeu Kamui: MY HERO!?.

.

The screams of his worry echoes throught out the halls of the dormitory, as if a vengeful ghost is screamed in fury.. But, he does not know that his beloved hero is safely in the clinic, resting,.. 

 .But to him, he interpreted it as much more sinister, for he’d had witness the deaths of his students over and over at the hands of a certain dark lord..  

.Who will tell him that his beloved hero is just resting, and not in danger, as per everyday they are always in constant danger.  

..

.

.

While,back in Nakano. 

After work....

A pink-haired chubby boy , is seen mopping away the grime and dirty water off the floor as the massive crowd did a lot of running for Ebisu. 

But he still is conflicted about a certain issue that boggles his mind.

.

Ebisu:....

.

.After the treasure hunt, A part of Ebisu was confronted and it did him wonders after, for as they have said they’re goodbyes after departing from each other...

Ebisu had a strange feeling, to him atleast,but for everyone to witness, its perfectly obvious that Ebisu has a thing or somehow special connection with a certain someone. 

 But for Ebisu, he is somehow confuse about what to feel about them, for he has been debating whether they like Harumo as a friend, or Love Harumo as a lover. 

For as he continues to mop away, He’s expression changes to a slightly annoyed Ebisu, as he is infact nervous to tell them, As he continues on, 

  Ebisu: ahhhhhhh!!....

Ebisu: C’mon Ebisu!,

He holds  two pudgy cheeks,

Ebisu: *Inhale* ....*exhale*.....Okay...

Ebisu: Do you like Harumo?, Ebisu?,

Ebisu: I do like them,,Do i love them? 

Ebisu: Well.....

  .

.

Employee: Listen to your feelings for once Ebisu...

Ebisu: Whaa!....Oh..sir..I didn’t know you were there..

Employee: The part about questioning yourself is only i heard..but.you should ask  those questions to the person. not yourself,.. 

Emplyee: How could will you get the answer that you want,when you already have a sure way to answer it..

The 6ft tall employee stands infront of Ebisu as if he was a fatherly figure just now. for as they and Ebisu are both Papa and Son, 

Ebisu: Sir...

Employee: Works over, so call me Papa,..Now, you’ve been acting differently ever since you returned from your voyage, Its as if you have close your scars now. 

Ebisu: Thats because during that long journey i  have learned to not feel about what people expect of me, and i have finally got my answer..But...mmm

Papa: But?...

Ebisu: But i don’t know, i...can’t make out what this feelings thats stirring up in my head...

Ebisu: I’ve already know how to not feel about people’s expectations, but why do i expect them to feel the same way that i do feel for them..

As continues to release his frustations, the tall dad figure kneels down to meet his eye level, and looks directly into to his eyes as if he wants to convey something to him.

 Papa: Ebisu,let me ask you one question...

Ebisu:....

Papa: Does Harumo expect something from you?

He puts his hands on both of Ebisu’s shoulders.. 

Ebisu:No..

 Papa: Do you expect them to feel the same way you are feeling? 

 Ebisu:No...

Papa:Then you have nothing to worry about.

Ebisu: Huh?.

Papa: Did i ever told you,that i used to have massive love interest to one person when i was your age?

Ebisu: You did?!..and what happened? 

Papa: Well, i was so confused about what my feelings for them mean to me, i couldn’t even sleep,thinking about ,,, what will they say to me?... 

Papa: I can’t stop thinking...but in the end, i mustered up all of my courage to tell them about what i feel about them,,..

 Ebisu: And?...what did they say?..

Papa, takes a moment to answer as Ebisu waits for his response.

.

.

Papa: They said: “i love you too, but. I don’t want it to be romantic” 

Ebisu: Did you get rejected?!...

Papa: It didn’t feel as a rejection, its more like i finally got my answer..

and ever since that day.. i was satisfied with their answer..

Papa: For as i didn’t expect them to either to be my lover nor i want them to be mine. but,, the thought of them answering ,,, was enough for me...and to this day..that friend of mine,are still friends..             

.Papa: Our relationship to each other hasn’t changed back to my childhood days. and im glad it didn’t...Hahaha. 

.Papa: So, now that you heard my story, what are you going to do?...Uh..Ebisu? 

.

Ebisu: Im....IM GOING TO CONFESS TO THEM!...

Papa: Whoah easy there, you gonna burn down the kitchen if you keep this up! 

Ebisu: Thank you Papa, i know what i must do!, Thank you very much!..

Papa: Your welcome.,,oh and as an added bonus, give them this here rainbow buns that i saved, for you know..when...

 Ebjisu: Wait..don’t tell you knew this was gonna happen, did you?.

 Papa: Well,. it was 50/50,but im glad you know what you need to do now..

Ebisu: Yes,,Thank you a bunch papa. i have hurry now, before the train leaves.! 

Papa: Hehehe, Go, you better reel in a good one!.

Ebisu: Yes!..    

Tightly grasping a medium box in his hand,The confident pink haired boy sprints in a hurry to catch up to the train station and soon follows his destination...Shinjuku...

Ebisu: Harumo,,if you’re gonna reject me!,its fine by me,,but i want to know your answer, and to figure that out ,i have to tell you the truth..of what i feel about you!.     

.

.

{Shinjuku Dormitory} 

After school..in the mid afternoon.

 Chernobog prepares your wheel chair as you try to get out of bed, but sadly, the strength that pull everyday is no longer present ,as every step feels as if you’re dragging 10 pounds of weight, and every step you take,

  leaves you out of breath as you lean onto Chernobog for support, 

.Harumo:{breathing softly} 

 Chernobog:Harumo, we’ll be going back to your room now, so you can rest easy now, 

 Harumo:....W-we?...

Chernobog: Yes...

Chernobog:Per instruction, is to accompany you and that is to sleep beside you.

Harumo: ...Oh..cool...Nurse Chernobog..

Chernobog: Lets us make haste now.. Onward! 

.

.And as the drama begins, the two of you slowly make your towards the dormitory so that you may sleep.

.

.

On your way towards the exit of the school, you encounter a familiar student leaning on the side of the door frame, its as if that said person is waiting for someone in particular. 

.

 .

.

 Harumo: Kengo?..

Kengo: Hey partner, I’ve been ..waiting for you..

Harumo: For me?..

Kengo: Yeah...i just...i just want to guard you,make sure you both are safe, An enemy could take advantage of your fever, so i want to make sure.

Chernobog: I am mostly grateful for your intent of protecting Harumo, 

Harumo: Okay,...Lets go...

The second strongest member of the Summoners and The Dark Lord of Bald Mountain, had became your escort, its as if two alphas are protecting their King. as they keep an eye out for anyone that will attack out of the blue..

.

..

.

After reaching the entrance of the dormitory,

Chernobog: Calm yourself Horkeu, you misunderstand the situation.

Harumo: HorkeuKamui, calm down for a sec...

Kengo:Hey, Quit you two!, nows not the time ! 

Kengo steps in-between the two people who have a sharp gaze at each other as they look deep into each others eyes

 As if they are about to pounce at each other.. Their gaze are almost sharp daggers that pierce into each other’s soul. as Kengo becomes the peacekeeper.

Harumo:ENOUGH YOU TWO! {Coughing} 

As you try to scream at the top of your lungs,your voice becomes hoarse as your tonsils are inflammed,

 After that, you continue to cough aggresively as you hold your neck feeling the sharp pain of your tonsils, your sweating more and more as the two feuding have snapped to their senses. And return to your eyes as you are weaken.

Kengo: Partner, don’t taik, Thats you two idiots, Harumo is screaming because of you’se two keep on bickering,

A mention of your name, the three escorts quickly turn their sights at a lone chuby figure behind you.

Harumo: That voice...

Ebisu slowly waiks towards to you shyly. 

Horkeu Kamui: Who are you?

Kawaki Academy Arc: The School Festival

Welcome to the Boruto anime’s Mandatory School Festival Episode!

We start off with a flashback to last night, where Kawaki chased off the assassin. Kae wakes up 5 seconds after the attempt, and Kawaki walks her home. He asks why her butler isn’t here doing his job, and she says Batora had to go do...things. 

Because Kae is so excited about tomorrow, Kawaki decides to sit on the whole assassination thing until the festival is over. After all, they’ll be surrounded by people, so the assassin wouldn’t dare attack in front of witnesses, right? 

The next morning, we see the class setting up for the big day. During preparations, Hana-sensei gets a migraine and collapses to the floor. She excuses herself, saying she stayed up all night preparing for the festival and is just tired. Except no, she did not, because the kids were there that night and she was nowhere to be seen.

But nobody calls her out on that, instead urging her to stumble off to the infirmary. She’ll spend the rest of the episode appearing and disappearing at suspiciously convenient times, often spaced perfectly around when the assassin shows up. But I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.

Meanwhile, we see Boruto and his old classmates enjoying the festival. Chocho gives the sweets kid the Gordon Ramsey treatment. Team 5 gets traumatized by the Haunted House, which was populated by Neon’s drones and Harika’s bugs. And Boruto and Sarada compete to see who can hoard the most prizes from the kunai game booth.

Kawaki acts twitchy and suspicious the whole time. At one point he confronts a man in a hood, who turns out to be a random dad, and Kawaki starts to wonder if maybe the cloaked figure last night was also innocent. Because there are so many non-murderous reasons for a masked figure to hold a kunai above a young princess’s neck.

Eventually it’s time for the play. We don’t even get past the first line before the explosions start. The terrorist left notes around the school saying the first bomb was a show of power, and in 20 minutes they’d blow up the whole school. If anyone tried to contact the outside for help, the terrorist would blow up the school sooner.

So we see Shino and his old class going around the school defusing bombs. It’s a nice way to keep the other characters occupied without looking  completely incompetent. 

Although I have to ask: How did everyone not notice the thousand explosive tags papered around the building until now??? Did the terrorist put all those up while everyone was waiting for the play to start? Was not a single person still enjoying the nice weather or taking a smoke break or something? 

The students and civilians are told to stay inside the training hall, which has been cleared for safety. So of course some of the kids immediately sneak out to “help.” Kawaki, Ehou, and Eiki find a massive wall of explosive tags ready to blow. Kawaki grabs the biggest one, sends a shadow clone up in the air, and turns the bomb into a harmless firework. 

Meanwhile, someone sets off smoke bombs in the training hall. Himawari, always the MVP, knocks the assassin out of the way before they can kill Kae. The assassin chases the two of them outside, and revealing their fashionably coordinated mask and outfit.

Kawaki comes to save the day. The two fight, and the assassin throws some more explosives before disappearing into the smoke. The bombs go off, and under the rubble we see an unconscious Hana-sensei, who had been looking for Kawaki and the others after they left the safe zone without telling anyone. 

We suddenly cut forward to nighttime, where ambulance workers are carrying Hana-sensei away. Kae confronts Kawaki, saying she’s figured out she was the assassination target and Kawaki was her secret bodyguard. It turns out the teenager who can one-shot flame bears wasn’t a real student! Shocking.
