#tenzo scenario

[historicfailure]

Hi I wonder if Yamato is having a wet dream while he and his wife were sleep together and his wife saw his member start horny, will she want to suck it out while he is sleep? I’m so thirsty for that. Nsfw.

Sorry for taking so long! I hope you're still around and can enjoy those headcanons ^^

Yamato getting sucked off in his sleep by his wife:

It’s not often that Yamato is at home and is able to sleep with you in the same bed. That’s why you cherish those times even more so. 

Waking up earlier as him is just as rare, and those two coincidences falling together is like meeting a unicorn: almost impossible.

But this morning, you indeed manage to wake up before your husband, who only sleeps in a pair of loose boxers, like always. 

Blinking the sleep out of your eyes, you watch him for a bit.

Yamato favors sleeping on his back, one arm over his stomach, the other stretched out and dangling over the side of the bed.

It’s cute, and you’re about to cuddle up against his side to sleep some more when you spot… it.

The blanket tents just where his dick must be. At the sight, lust washes over you. Maybe, a little bit of morning sex would be just right.

But waking him up? No, the wicked idea crossing your mind is way better. The only question is: can you pull away the blanket to get to the source and execute your plan?

Ever so carefully, your hands sneak beneath the rim of the blanket. You pause when a grunt escapes Yamato, only to relax when he just wiggles a bit closer to you.

You manage to raise the blanket just enough to slip beneath. The scent of his body and sweat greets you, all intense and filling your lungs to every last crevice. 

And there it is: your price. His dick stands at half-mast, all thick and groomed and delicious-looking. Your mouth waters just thinking about your next step.

Still careful and inching closer, you lower your head over his crotch. Overnight, his smell gets stronger, deeper, and almost rich. For a moment, you just watch the dick, which weakly twitches under your eyes. Then, you reach out, and your hand closes around the base of Yamato’s dick.

Hot, heavy and well-groomed. That’s your Yamato. Always well taken care off, shaved and clean. Lost in your admiration, your fingertips scratch over the thick vein at the underside of his dick. He twitches in his sleep, mumbling something under his breath.

You have to act quickly now. Soon, he will wake up. Smiling to yourself, you open your mouth and take the head of his dick between your lips. Only the very crown, then your mouth has to stretch a bit for his width. 

Slowly, but surely, you take the tip in. For a moment, you let him rest on your tongue, the musk overwhelming your senses. Then, you go deeper, breathing deeply through your nose and stopping now and then.

Yamato is too thick to take into your mouth in one go. It takes some time, and you still struggle because it has been some time since you gave him a blowjob. But you want to surprise and please him (and most importantly: you want to see him come undone).

When his hand comes to grab the back of your head, you’re grateful and let out a long, guttural moan. Finally. Yamato woke up.

A wet, hot pussy. Just for him. Soft, warm skin. Always happy to be touched. You, with open arms and naked, your smile promising so many pleasures Yamato doesn’t know what to do first. He wants to gently hold and kiss you, he wants to suck small love bites into your skin, he wants to slide between your legs and rut into you until both of you can’t go on any longer. The lust inside him burns brightly, making him restless and anxious for the moment he is waiting for. His heart is pounding like crazy. Fuck, his dick is definitely reacting to the view, naked, willing and smiling full of love at him. 

Then, suddenly, right before he can touch you, his dick twitches. Yamato looks down and sees another version of you, with your lips around his dick. Hot and wet, burning him to the very core, so much so a mighty tremble goes through his entire body. He can feel your tongue lapping away, following the vein on the underside of his dick he can only feel with his fingers. His toes curl up, and Yamato has to control himself to not just fuck into your mouth. 

He knows how hard it is to take his dick down your throat. You’re always way too happy to oblige, but seeing you choke and sputter while he gains nothing but pleasure from your work doesn’t sit right with him. So, he reaches out, his hand hitting a blanket, then your hair and neck. His fingers lightly cup your head, which is answered with a long, delicious hum. The hum vibrates through your throat and his dick. So good. So nice. The next surge through his blood wakes him up.

His grip on the back of your head is light, but commanding. A shudder wanders down your spine, while molten heat runs through your veins and gathers in your middle. Fuck, you want him. Want him inside you, but first, you will taste him.

Just when your lips close around the base of his dick, the fingers around your head tighten.

“What… That feels… Fuuuck, don’t stop…”

His sleepy voice pleading for you to go on was music to your ears. The fingers in the back of your neck tightened, subconsciously pulling you closer and more onto his dick. 

He was so thick that for a moment, you choked. A few deep breaths through your nose, and you relaxed, with his dick deep down your throat and your nose nestled in his pelvis. 

Yamato sluggishly rolls his hips into your mouth. Not outright fucking your throat, but the promise of it lies on the horizon. Humming again, you crawl more over his lower body, so you can shore yourself on his thick thighs. Your fingers dig into his muscles, which he answers with a low grunt.

“I can’t hold on much longer.” His thighs faintly tremble beneath your touch. “Fuck… I love you.”

Coming up leaves your mouth and throat painfully empty. But you have to, because with your mouth full, you can’t tease him properly. 

“What can I say? You’re looking like such a snack all the time, I couldn’t help but devour you.” A teasing kiss to the weeping tip of his dick, which jumps at the tender touch. “And go on. Fuck my mouth.”

While you talk, you gently caress his dick. The thin layer of your own spittle doesn’t last long, so you go slow and careful. Your thumb, index and middle finger meet just barely as you rub soothing strokes to the base, the knuckles of the other fingers tease the curve of his balls.

One last teasing grin into his sleepy, half-lidded eyes, then you go back to deepthroat him. This time, it’s easier going down, and when you encourage him to grip your head tighter, the wetness between your legs is proof of how much you love the situation you’re in.

“This…” His fingers thread into your hair, gentle caress and warning at the same time. “This is the best morning I had in a while.”

Yamato fucks in short jabs to get you accustomed to his strength. Then, his strokes grow longer, harder, a bit more painful to your throat. His breaths become heavier, almost desperate, and the grip on your head would bruise if he wouldn’t relax his hands from time to time. 

It’s so hot to feel him lose himself in your mouth. Only a few whimpers and chokes escape you, the rest is muffled by either his dick or his pelvis smothering your face.

Only when his entire body tenses up beneath your hands, you know he is close. So, you continue to suck, hollow your cheeks, with your tongue lapping away at his twitching dick, and wait for him to reach his peak.

And what a peak it is. Yamato’s entire body seizes up, his hands pulling you deep down onto his dick, making subconsciously sure that you would swallow every single drop of his burning hot seed. 

You can feel every drop running down your throat, filling your mouth and nearly overflowing, but as dutifully as you can, you swallow everything he gives you. 

The only things in the room loud enough to overcome your heart beat are his labored breath and the wet pop as you finish him off with a last, gratifying ‘pop’ of your mouth when you pull back from him.

“I definitely should surprise you more like that in the morning.”

Needless to say, Yamato returns the favor by eating you out until your legs shake and the next time you are there to witness some morning wood of his, you will definitely try again to suck him off.

Married, Colleagues, Divorced

This thought would enter his mind: Something about it is definitely different. (Gaara Hiden, Ch. 1) | Ten Days of Tenzo (@tendaysoftenzo) Day 5: Kakashi | AO3 |

                          ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Yamato to Kakashi of the Two Normal Eyes: Kakashi. Can I ask you a question...?

Kakashi to Colleague I Think About Such a Normal Amount: Yes, Tenzō?

Yamato: Did you date Iruka?

Kakashi: Why do u ask?

Yamato: Something Naruto said about going on outings with the two of you. Apparently, you even paid. 

Kakashi: We are amicably divorced

Yamato: Elaborate. 

Kakashi: The outings are part of our custody arrangement. The ramen is alimony

Yamato: I understand all of these words but not in this order. 

Kakashi: What’s not to understand. It’s important to model healthy separation for the kids 

Yamato: So you two did date?

Kakashi: No. Next question 

-- 

Kakashi to Standing Tenzōvation: Come sit here

Yamato to Hatake a Bow: I’ll come find you after. We’re going to get in trouble for texting during jōnin council deliberation again. 

Kakashi: I tried talking to u with Anbu hand signals. U said those were too obvious

Yamato: They are too obvious; you should see the message Genma sent me after the last council. Why do I need to sit there anyway? 

Kakashi: I want to eat with u today and if I’m not already occupied after we finish I will be caught in a meeting vortex

Yamato: Comes with the new job-title, Rokudaime-sama.

Kakashi: Not until next week, officially. And I didn’t enjoy any part of that sentence.

Yamato: Well, aren’t you emotionally forthright today? It’s refreshing. 

Kakashi: Does that mean u will buy lunch?

Yamato: You’re the one who just got a promotion. Hokage’s treat? 

Kakashi: I’ll spar u for it

Yamato: You’re on. 

--

Kakashi to Magic Mountain: Soup on your windowsill 

Yamato to Lord Sixth Flags: Thank you. You could come in, you know. 

Kakashi: U need some rest. Plus I have been assigned a mission to have tea with Hyuga-san 2nite

Yamato: That’s a new one. Who assigned that?

Kakashi: Me. 😔 I’ve been told clan relations are my problem now

Yamato: I can hardly wrap my head around you being a politician. 

Kakashi: I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around u nearly getting chakra exhaustion from a spar

Yamato: How many times have YOU gotten chakra exhaustion?

Kakashi: I haven’t kept a count 

Yamato: I have. 16.

Kakashi: That’s not bad. 1.4% of missions. Point is that’s what I expect from me, not u 

Yamato: Give me a break. I’ve only ever fought you when you had your sharingan. I didn’t account for how much stamina you’d have without it. My hospital check-up was quick and painless. 

Kakashi: Easy for u to say, u weren’t awake for the berating when I hauled u in

Yamato: Tsunade-sama or Sakura?

Kakashi: Sakura, thankfully. She still feels bad about hitting me, unlike her shishō

Yamato: Are we in trouble?

Kakashi: Don’t think so. The killing intent stopped after u woke up 

Kakashi: Sakura threatened to abandon her post and become a rogue ninja if we ever do it again, but I have a plan for that

Yamato: Do you anticipate Sakura leaving Konoha?

Kakashi: Not really. But after Sasuke I figured the other two should have contingencies, and I kept adding as u and Sai joined 

Yamato: Are you saying you have a plan for a scenario where all five other members of our team abandon the village? 

Kakashi: Don’t take this the wrong way but I have a 14-step-plan for that scenario

Yamato: Both impressive and concerning. 

Kakashi: That’s what they tell me in ninja therapy

Yamato: You have a therapist? 

Kakashi: Yeah. Don’t u?

Yamato: Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’ve never been more attracted to you.

Kakashi: Hm. What’s your average amount of attraction to me?

Yamato: I abstain from the question.

Kakashi: 🤔😈㊙️❓

Sakura to Team Thanks for Pardoning Sasuke, Sensei: reminder that our new team photo will be taken tomorrow. naruto buy a hairbrush. sensei and sasuke remember to show up on time 

Naruto: i own a hairbrush!! it just doesn’t work on my hair y’know

Sakura: bring it and i’ll help. i’m not breaking another one of my combs

Sasuke: Why do I get lumped in with Kakashi? I’m on time.

Sakura: you missed the last three years of team meetings

Sasuke: Touché. 

Sai: Do Yamato-taichō and I need to do anything? 

Sakura: i think you’ll both be fine. don’t worry too much about what kind of smile you need. be natural

Sai: I will join you early so we can practice being natural.

Sakura: that’s not what i meant. but sure we can get breakfast 

Naruto: me too!!!!

Sakura: NOT ichiraku. 

Naruto disliked “NOT ichiraku.” 

Sasuke liked “NOT ichiraku.” 

Naruto: :(((((((((((( ok 

Yamato: Kakashi and I will both have a meeting about the new housing developments first thing. I can make sure we get there.

Naruto: should u be spending so much time together?

Naruto: i don’t want yamato-taichō to catch ur chakra exaustion again kaka-sensei

Kakashi: For the last time, I did not GIVE Yamato chakra exhaustion. U can’t catch it

Sakura: debatable.

Sai: Sakura does offer medical credibility to Naruto’s theory.

Kakashi: Tenzō, tell them.

Yamato: I haven’t ruled it out.

Naruto: SEE. ur contagious sensei 

Kakashi: I miss when u all found me intimidating

Sasuke: We never found you intimidating. 

Sakura liked “We never found you intimidating.”

Naruto liked “We never found you intimidating.”

Yamato: Didn’t you make them homemade bento on their first day? Not your most menacing tactic. 

Naruto: tbh iruka-sensei and jiraiya-sensei had a lot more rules than u 

Naruto: ur gonna have to work on that as Hokage!

Sai: If you would like, I can pretend to find you intimidating. I’m a very good actor. 

Kakashi: Thank u, Sai. 😔🤘

Anko to Jōnin Gone Wild: @Shiranui Genma, Married, Colleagues, Divorce: Gai, Raidō, Aoba 

Genma: Easy. Marry Raidō, Colleagues Gai, Divorce Aoba

Aoba: I understand

Gai: You have ALWAYS been an EXCELLENT Colleague, my friend!!!

Raidō: 👌

Yamato: What kind of a game is this?

Anko: Kakashi invented it. Something about it being a therapy exercise

Kakashi: Actually, my therapist advised against it. But I’m glad we have a new game. Shizune was 2 good at online mahjong

Shizune: You would be too if you grew up with Tsunade-sama. Also your next meeting is 5 minutes. I’ll bring the briefing when I’m upstairs

Kurenai: You know, as Hokage, technically Kakashi is responsible for all active shinobi. He shouldn’t be allowed to date any of his colleagues

Anko: Hahahah, government-mandated celibacy

Kakashi: I’ve been Hokage for like 3 days and none of u respect authority anyways 

Kurenai: Are you saying you DO want to date a jōnin?

Anko emphasized, “Are you saying you DO want to date a jōnin?”

Yamato emphasized, “Are you saying you DO want to date a jōnin?”

Kakashi: U think I don’t know a trap when I see one

Shizune: He has a picture of gljljLKHGLJ

Shizune: I would like everyone to know that Kakashi-sama grabbed my phone when I was writing that message. 

Kakashi: Aiming for meeting brief. New depth perception with 2 eyes. Talk later bye

--

Yamato to Celibacy Senpai: Explain to me how the game works again. Since we’re colleagues, we can’t be married or divorced?

Kakashi to Comrade Featured in Several GROUP Photos: It’s more of a state of mind

Kakashi: Take for example, if I had u, Yugao and Ibiki. I’d Colleagues Yugao, Divorce Ibiki and Marry u. 

Yamato: That implies you were married to Ibiki before me. 

Kakashi: Would it affect ur interest in marrying me?

Yamato: No, but I’d wonder why we didn’t get married first. We get along more.

Kakashi: We prioritized our friendship over other potential kinds of bonds

Yamato: I think we've got a pretty good track record for adapting. Besides, spouses should be friends. Anyway, none of this answers the question of why you’d suddenly marry someone else.

Kakashi: We were separated by a tsunami. U lost ur memory and I couldn’t find u so Ibiki and I got together so the kids could have another role model

Yamato: How long was I gone before you moved on? 

Kakashi: We co-parented but I didn’t move on. That’s why u and I get married 

Yamato: What if I’m more of a long-term-romantic-roommates kind of guy? 

Kakashi: I’d make that work

Yamato: In the game?

Kakashi: Sure. In the game

--

Naruto to Team Congratulations Chūbu Sai: i went 2 the yamanaka flower shop for plant food after we met up and u’ll never guess what i saw!! u know the bandana guy?

Yamato: Genma? 

Kakashi: Ibiki?

Sakura: Ebisu-sensei? 

Naruto: no. sasuke hair

Kakashi: Izumo

Yamato: Izumo. 

Naruto: yeah him!! he was buying flowers for that other guy. big stick.

Sakura: 🤨

Kakashi: That’s Kotetsu. And? 

Naruto: he was BUYING FLOWERS. for that GUY. for a DATE!!!!!

Sai: Ino tells me it is customary to bring your partner gifts like flowers to show your affection. 

Naruto: I DIDN’T KNOW THAT WAS AN OPTION!!

Kakashi: Dating Kotetsu? It isn’t. He’s in a relationship. And he’s too old for u

Naruto: DATING A GUY!!

Yamato: Why didn’t you think it was an option, Naruto? 

Naruto: i mean, everyone thinks that way about guys and girls and everyone 

Naruto: but no one DOES IT, y’know

Sai questioned “i mean, everyone thinks that way about guys and girls and everyone.” 

Sai: Is that true?

Sakura: i think this is the wrong chat to ask that question in 

Yamato emphasized, “i think this is the wrong chat to ask that question in.”

Sai: Why? 

Kakashi: I can give u a book that will explain it, Sai. Anyway Naruto, people can date anyone they want, within reason. As long as the people involved like each other

Naruto: anyone?

Kakashi: Yeah. Even more than one person at once. Right, Sasuke? 👨🏻‍🎤

Sasuke: What’s that emoji supposed to mean?

Kakashi: I just like to make sure ur phone is on. 

Naruto: i gotta go for a walk

--

Yamato to It’s Kakamplicated: I’m going to tell him.

Kakashi to Konoha’s Next Top Anbu (Not a Sex Thing. Maybe A Sex Thing): Give him a few more days, he’ll figure it out 

Yamato: …How long did it take you to figure it out?

Kakashi: I abstain from the question

Yamato: 🙄

Kakashi: Fine. 19. 

Yamato: Age or years?

Kakashi: Definitely one of those two things. Next question 

--

Iruka to Senseis R Us: What have you been telling Naruto?

Kakashi: U’ll have to be more specific

Iruka: Why did Naruto say he was going to hang out with my ex-husband?!

Kakashi: What makes u think I have anything to do with it

Iruka: I didn’t say I was talking to you. However, he was going to see your team and I don’t think Yamato-san is responsible for this!!

Yamato: I’m going to leave this one in Kakashi’s capable hands.

Iruka: Kakashi. What is wrong with you?

Yamato: Becoming a chunin at the age of 6, a strangely public black ops career, a possible attachment disorder and some very interesting tan lines. 

Kakashi: That’s the kunai calling the shuriken sharp. 

Kakashi: Also I’ll show u some interesting tan lines

Yamato loved “Also I’ll show u some interesting tan lines.” 

Kakashi: Anyway. I didn’t say much, Naruto was just curious about our history 

Iruka: We don’t have a history?? 

Kakashi: What about when I reupholstered your sofa?

Iruka: Was that... a romantic activity for you?

Kakashi: This is why we’d never work out, Iruka. 

Iruka: Because you text like a member of the cypher corps? 

Yamato: It’s not so bad. His birthday messages are very heartfelt. 

Kakashi loved “It’s not so bad. His birthday messages are very heartfelt.”

Kakashi: Thank you, Tenzō.  

Iruka: Who’s Tenzō?

Yamato liked “Who’s Tenzō?” 

Kakashi loved “Who’s Tenzō?” 

Iruka: This is going on your performance review as an ex-husband.

Kakashi: That’s fair

Yamato to Kakashinova: Have you seen my uniform belt? 

Kakashi to Some Kind of Wooderful: I have not. U do keep taking it off every time we eat if that helps?

Yamato: I can’t get used to the placement. But I’ll need to find it or order another one before my next check-in. You know how they are about item counts. 

Kakashi: U can use one of mine if u want 

Yamato: Your black belt which has Rokudaime Hokage stitched on the inside? I’ll pass, thanks. 

Kakashi: I don’t know why they keep putting that on everything. But u can’t see that part while ur wearing it anyway. It’s the same belt 

Yamato: Yes, but the Anbu would know it was your belt. I get enough heat for how much time we spend together as it is.

Kakashi: Favouritism?

Yamato: More like wisecracks about holding a torch for you. 

Kakashi: Haha why. Do you have a crush on me, Tenzō?

Yamato: You know the answer to this one. Next question.

Kakashi: What makes u think I know the answer?

Yamato: You’re the smartest person in this village. And we see each other every day.

Kakashi: We all have our Shodaime’s nipple

Yamato: Some of us more than most. Let’s try a different question. How many times have we kissed each other?

Kakashi: 7. 9 and a half if u count missions 

Yamato: Where are you getting the half from?

Kakashi: CPR

Yamato: Ah. So, in those nine-and-a-half moments... You didn’t have any suppositions? Inferences? Lessons gleaned from experience? 

Kakashi: Four and a half of them we’d need to discount for recall, and the last few are harder to report on due to observer bias

Yamato: The observer bias in you gauging my romantic feelings.

Kakashi: Yes

Yamato: Because you would like?

Kakashi: You

Yamato: Me to what?

Kakashi: Long-term romantic roommates, eventually

Yamato: Oh.

Kakashi: Yeah. Do you mind?

Yamato: No, I don’t mind. Maybe we can start with dinner and a walk first? 

Yamato: And Kakashi? I long-term romantic roommates you too. 

Kakashi: That’s a funny way to ask me on a date. 💘 See u in an hour?

Yamato: It’s on.

[x-authorship-x]

Plot twist the HOPE AU for the Actor AU is just Shisui&Friends fed up with the bullshit that is the OG Naruto script and they decide to make a side-series What If scenario all by themselves... It starts as a sort of joke (maybe an internet series at first?) but then it gets serious and it gets taken off of YT or wherever they were uploading it originally in favor of it becoming an actual series

Naruto is this huge film franchise but Kakashi is one of the few actors who have been in every single one of the films (the kids are obviously covered by a medley of very good child actors) so he's kinda THE face of the series and hes also a massive troll and a liar so he starts this rumor about shisui being originally this stunt man who had to step into the acting role for Sasuke's tragic backstory cameos... And the writers liked him so much that they're doing a multiverse where Shisui didn't die but his body was transported into an alternative reality because of his magic power stuff (Kakashi is very... Uh irreverent lol)

Interviewer: what an incredible finale to the most famous franchise of this century

Kakashi, paper bag on his head: oh it's not over

Interviewer: wh.. what? It's not!?

Kakashi: nah, my buddy Shisui is actually alive lol, it's this crazy inception-type situation (🤡)

Naturally, the world loses it's tits

Shisui, absolutely not prepared for this, gets jumped by the press pack when he's collecting his mail at his shitty little city apartment and stupidly sticks his foot in it

What Shisui actually says: oh uh I don't think I can talk about it

What shisui means: can I phone a friend real quick

What the world hears: I SIGNED A CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT ON THIS PROJECT, ITS TRUE, ITS REAL, IT'S HAPPENING

Inoichi, questioned at a different premier: oh I'd love to work with the Naruto actors again, I really enjoyed the energy on set and I think Shisui is a really exciting new face on the scene, I would love to work together, reprising my role :)

The press: ARGH CONFIRMATION

Mikoto, overprotective mama of child star Itachi, makes it worse by refusing to comment, which looks like an admission of guilt

Tenzo is the star of top of this bullshit by liking all the posts about it on his socials and stirring the hoards like crazy 😂

[ikemenomegas]

Any thoughts to shake loose on any of your Naruto guys, Io? I like your mun-name!! 💕

From the notebook

Loose leaf ideas:

I'm so sorry, I have no idea what a mun-name is but thank you anyways 😅. Also sorry it's taken so long, I was trying to do the Make a Wish prompts, which I've finally gotten mostly bullet pointed out. Lucky thing because I all but finished one of the last two and then lost it due to my own stupidity... so I've been sadly trying to rewrite it /sigh. I decided to finally shake free those ideas in the mean time, since I haven't posted any writing in a while

Yamato (Tenzo, but this name is for private use)

Because he was raised in Root, he mostly emotes via micro expressions so his Alpha has learned to be really good at reading those looks. His Alpha can literally stare at his face for hours while they talk. Yamato stares right back. Please ask for a booth if you go to a restaurant with him. Everyone thinks you're making bedroom eyes at each other when you're figuring out your next week's meal prep. Actual bedroom eyes are near lethal levels.

He's a pretty tall guy so when you first started spending time at his place, all the cups and plates and things are also really high up. He barely used any of his lower cupboards. When you first move in together, he asks you where all of your stuff is and you think he's joking until you realize he genuinely doesn't check any of those cabinets or drawers that he doesn't use...

All of his furniture is handmade, as in through the wood style. It's all very functional, lots of squares, but elegant. If want different shapes he's really willing and eager to learn how intricate he can get with his jutsu. He's got a remarkably artistic streak, despite his serious demeanor. You'll never have to buy a new bookshelf again, he'll just make them.

Yamato likes quality time and gifts as his receiving love languages. He works really hard for the village and having someone focused on him and appreciative of his hard work and attentive to his needs is key to being a good partner for him

You can't go wrong if you show your appreciation by making him things that he likes, ie a craft, homemade item, or really involved food. He's also not opposed to an evening of pampering where he has your full undivided attention after a day spent sight seeing.

Gaara

He doesn't make the first move in a relationship, which leaves him in a fun lil' stalemate for a while with his eventual mate, because you can't make moves on the Kazekage and he's thinking "I'm the Kazekage, it would be an unfair power dynamic to tell them I think about them every time I write poetry lately..." On a trip back to Suna, Temari takes one look at him and you and then scolds Kankuro because "I can't be the one to manage both kinds of diplomatic relations. Please do something to make my life a little easier." Kankuro then attempts to organize scenarios for you and Gaara to meet. These go poorly in the way of all comedic anime interludes but do result in the two of you bonding more closely.

Gaara was raised to be the leader of a military nation, but he winds down by engaging in more traditional artistic pursuits. All three of the siblings actually have a talent in at least one area of the more refined arts. Gaara is very accomplished at calligraphy, and I'm not kidding about the poetry, he really does compose different works and a lot of them are very good. He even worked hard at some point during his courtship to create a public stone garden in the village which he sometimes alters during festivals so it has different designs.

He is very responsible when it comes to Kazekage duties. He's also been performing them since before he turned 15, and has almost no penchant for mischief. However, he can be easily coaxed away from his office in the name of training his children/students, where he can be further tricked into simply enjoying himself. He's actually a really patient, insightful teacher.

He has an unfortunate habit, only slightly curbed by age, of being willing to drag everyone into a goal he decides is worthwhile. While he mostly used credible threats to get what he wanted as a child, he's since become very adept at manipulation. Mostly, he's genuine and persistent, but he also knows how to get other people to want to follow him. This includes knowing the exact Look to give his mate whenever he wants something.

I think you could easily write him as demiromantic/aromantic. He isn't romantically attracted to anyone right away, and if he does develop those feelings they aren't all-consuming, but there are certain people he can see himself partnering with for the rest of his life, and certain triggers for kicking those feelings off with his alpha.

Nagato

The more I research him, the more it is clear his canon outcome is the bad-end version of the shonen trio trope. Yahiko and Konan were in love with one another, and Nagato was the one who loved them both enough to follow them to the ends of the earth. Nothing in any world was ever going to deter him from that, so his Alpha needs to be pointed in the same direction, ideally devoted to Yahiko and his original Akatsuki as well.

Nagato is the one who guides his Alpha in believing in the ideals of Akatsuki. Before the original trio falls apart, this is done without any ultimatum or ulterior motive. Nagato genuinely believes in the dream Yahiko has, and felt very motivated to bring that hope to his Alpha. It was only afterwards that he truly started to fall in love with them, although that was the original spark.

He likes to read, although he seldom has the time or opportunity to do so. Jiraiya's taught all of the Ame orphans to read and write. He truly enjoys ready philosophical treatises and dialogues. He is a fan of fiction but very slow when reading these because he prefers to experience the world himself first hand, interacting with people and places. He once dreamed of traveling throughout Amegakure and the surrounding nations as a kind of pilgrim.

Nagato nearly died after he fought Hanzo for the first time, not because of his injuries, but because chakra depletion left him unable to sense his Alpha. Believing them dead while he was near delirious, he himself nearly died from the grief of losing Yahiko, and them on top of this loss, despite Yahiko's final wish.

In a version of the world where his Alpha does not survive Obito's slaughter of the original Akatsuki members, Nagato recovers their body and turns it into the Preta Path of Pain, appropriate given the path's callback to possessiveness and desire, and representation of the Hungry Ghost Realm. In the version where his Alpha survives, Nagato becomes very possessive over them, only willing to let them take missions for the Akatsuki alongside Konan, alone, or preferably not at all as you three nurse your grief within Amegakure.

Shisui

You know I love those Uchiha men. They just have a vibe... Shisui in particular. His appearances never make me think first of his death, but of his kindness and his protectiveness over the people he cares for; he dies smiling. Unfortunately, Shisui's path really only works in a non-massacre scenario, since he is approximately sixteen when he dies, which is too young for him to have a mating bond, although I do HC him as considering courting someone at the time the coup starts to take over his life. The with-massacre scenario is one in which Itachi is able to get Shisui out of the village, possibly that he secretly survives the fall thanks to his summons.

Shisui's parents were either not ninjas, or are individuals who have had to retire for the corp for some reason. What we know about him says he was the family breadwinner after he was made a jounin, which leads me to lean towards non-ninja parents. This is particularly interesting for Uchiha clan members, since we don't get to see what the civilian members of clan families do in the Naruto world and most assume the Uchiha clan is shinobi-dominated. It's doubly intriguing when we also know the famous Kagami Uchiha was his ancestor (likely grandfather > great grandfather if we base off other known generations). Since we don't have canon confirmation of this stuff, I guess it counts as a HC?

Given the above, he's the most likely of the Uchiha on my list to willingly and happily take on a civilian Alpha. While I haven't totally fleshed out the background for this pairing, I have toyed around with the idea of an acid-tongued relative of someone from the Daimyo's court whom Shisui met on a mission catching his attention. This oc is a bit of a tsundere with an infamous temper who only Shisui with his notable empathetic and pleasant demeanor is immune to. They become one of the Land of Fire ambassadors and Shisui travels with them on a sort of long-term assignment before they eventually settle together in the village.

The reason they settle in the village is that Shisui decides he wants to have kids and knows that the Uchiha will never risk the sharingan passing into the control of another family or political body. His alpha has to sign a bunch of paperwork relinquishing their ability to inherit anything that might give their family power over their and Shisui's children, but enjoys arguing enough that they remain an ambassador even after settling in Konoha so they can wipe the floor with anyone who has anything to say about Shisui being the reason for their departure.

In the survive-the-fall scenario, Shisui remains blind, retires from being a ninja, and lives with his Alpha in a civilian city, where they help hide his identity and spoil him as much as he will allow. There's potential in this scenario for a path which probably fixes Sasuke btw. There's a lot of options here.

Sai

He intentionally emotes more than Yamato, however while Yamato mostly keeps his facial expressions hidden, his reactions to his Alpha are almost always honest. Sai explicitly cultivates his ability to make facial expressions because he was trying to fit in with normal people, throw them off guard, and do his job as a spy better. This makes it more difficult for his Alpha to tell whether Sai is actually showing that he likes something or not. It takes a long time to figure it out. Eventually, his reactions naturally start to correspond with his emotions around family and friends so it's easier on everyone.

His Alpha thinks that Sai really doesn't like them at the beginning. Although he doesn't necessarily understand why, he picks up on this very quickly and tries to fix the situation throughout the next few months, to varying degrees of success. Eventually, he decides to show you how he feels by painting a portrait of you as he sees you. It's exactly as intimate as you'd think it would be. For better or worse, Sai eventually has to come out and say he can't come up with any courting gift more genuine than the portrait to show you how he feels about you personally, which will tip his Alpha off that he is interested in them.

Because he has difficulties showing his emotions, and also in understanding the nuances behind others' reactions, he likes straightforward methods of communication. He trusts his Alpha implicitly and is incredibly perceptive so he is able to read their responses to him. He enjoys words of affirmation the most and appreciates when his Alpha takes the time to talk through things with him. He also likes physical contact, craves it even, but can quickly become overstimulated depending on the situation. He genuinely wants people to like him and to have sincere connections with the people he meets by acting like himself. Although Sai works hard to "earn" his place among the other people in his generation, it takes him a long time to see that everyone has already accepted him, and to understand that relationships take time and hard work.

For many years, he believes he physically can't have children because Root made all of its operatives starting about 5 years before Sai joined infertile. This insights conflicting feelings in him. On the one hand he never has to worry about accidentally becoming pregnant, which is very nice when he starts navigating his physical desires with his mate. On the other hand, he will never have the option and that hurts, because so much was taken from him in the way of choice and this is another one of those things. The procedure may be reversible in some members because I can see Root forcing long-term operatives to have families with their targets to get closer to them, or being gross enough to try and breed operatives, but Sai doesn't know this.

He likes swimming. He has a favorite swimming spot on the Konoha river. It's the kind of activity that sincerely has no purpose, and he finds a serenity in it, in a similar way that lots of people find a zone of focus when running.

[perelka-l]

Since I know you like kind of fucked up ships (same), ever thought about Orochimaru/Tenzō? I think about them so frequently. I feel like human experiment/the one who created them is one of my favorite kind of fucked up ship

Sorry for taking so long to answer, I feel so disattached from tunglr lately ;; Thank you for anon though~ Hehe, hello fellow fucked up ships enjoyer how are youu *winks*

Tbh I would see it as more... incestual in my eyes tbh? Like, I never can't unsee Tenzo as sort of a child in a way of Oro and Danzo (a happy nb family~) so... I wonder. On the other hand in canon Oro didn't really did much for Oro aside from creating Tenzo and then going AH WELL BYE and Danzo being a single dad /delulu

(On that note though, there is something charming about momson with one of parties not being aware of the other's identity. It's one of my favourite ObiMada scenarios tbh uwu)

But any AU with Orochimaru owning it up and taking care of Tenzo, that is a lovely thought indeed. I'd imagine Oro would be completely unlike the milfery vibes Bort supplied us with (people may bitch about Bort but I am insanely grateful for milf Oro uwu), spooky and yet caring in his own way, Tenzo being more treated as a successfully done experiment to toy and play with rather than a creation. One could assume Oro could have plans in the first place during mokuton experiments tbh, I don't think they'd just go for it without some plans. Maybe over time they'd grow... well, early Oro version of "fond" is somewhat peculiar, especially with those lovely intense enjoyment of young boys uwu but yeah.

It's an interesting thought you have planted here, maybe it's not a ship that I'd ride to hell with but it is quite a nice thing to experiment with. Hehehehe.

We looked like Giants (3)

It is sunday again, whoo. Here is another chapter :) I want to point out that in the flashback scene Sayuri is 11 and in emotional distress so don't think too harshly of her emotional reaction.

Thank you to @lemony-snickers for beta reading.

Sayuri looks like this.

Hatake Kakashi x OC

Rated E (eventual smut)

6948 words

On the cusp of an all out war between the big villages and the Akatsuki Uchiha Sayuri suddenly returns to her hometown of Konoha after over ten years of absence. Her return throws Kakashis life out of order. Or- If Hatake Kakashi had a ryo for everytime a childhood friend he thought was dead came back to life he would have two ryo, which isn’t much, but it is weird that it happened twice.

3. disagreements.

Rin cried the entire way home. Not loud or attention grabbing, just quietly to herself. A seemingly never ending flow of tears that expressed her grief clearer than any words could have. Kakashi tried sneaking glances at her as often as he could, making sure she was still with them, still breathing and as bad as it sounded he felt relieved at hearing her sobs. It meant she was still alive. Part of him wanted to cry like this too, just sob tears after tears until there were none left in his head. But he had once cried as much for his father, many years ago, and could no longer do it. As if losing so much at age five had drained all the tears from him forever. Still, he felt more miserable than he had back then. After his father's death he felt anger and resentment. For his father, for his old comrades that had shunned him, for the village that wasn't supportive. But now Kakashi felt only regret and disappointment about himself. He despised himself. Obito's eye hurt in its new place in Kakashi's left eye socket. It had burned ever since it was put there, draining Kakashi of his chakra quicker than he could replenish it. To Kakashi, this was a sign the eye knew he wasn't its rightful owner. That he had no right to have it, no right to use it as he had before. From now on, Obito's eye in his face would always remind him of his first failure as Jonin.

///

Sweating and breathing heavily, Kakashi ripped his eyes open to find he had rolled off his bed to the floor. He shook himself, the last memories fading to the back of his mind where he usually kept them during the day. Only nightmares could remind him of the worst days of his life, his many failures and mistakes. He sat up and leaned against the bed frame, eyes closed. He tried to still his breathing and at the same time focus on where he was. The wood of his floor, the smell of his bedsheets, the low hum of the fridge from the kitchen. It had just been another nightmare. Still, when he opened his eyes again his hands still shook. Nightmares were nothing new to him, they happened frequently and with differing intensity. It was usually a different roster of memories Kakashi sought to forget: His father lying on the ground dead, Obito crushed under a rock, his own hand in splattered blood, while a hole had been put through Rin, Minato impaled on a Kyuubi nail, bodies upon dead bodies of Uchiha members, Naruto on the ground lifeless, Sakura crying. Additionally, his mind also made up fun scenarios to play through: Gai with a hole in his chest instead of Rin, Tenzo injured and bleeding out, Sasuke full of darkness in Orochimaru's likeness. He didn't like any of these dreams much.

✨

Look, I'm finally answering!

7. What is your favourite sexual scenario you’ve ever come up with?

Being experimented on. Like me, being tied up, being observed so intensely. Just a variety of toys, and different utensils and other things. I want him to watch how I clench when he uses a bullet or smacks my inner thigh. I want him to stretch me and see how far it will go. I want him to look at me so intensely that I feel so vulnerable and naked. Bonus points if he writes it down.

Characters I see most likely doing the above: Kakashi, Tenzo, Obito, Tobirama, Geto, Nanami, VULCAN, Kirishima (RWTGI)

11. Do you have something you haven’t tried yet, but you still KNOW you’ll like?

A lot of things. Sounding a man, lactation are the first couple to come to mind.

12. Do you have something you haven’t tried yet, but you still KNOW you’ll dislike?

SCAT. That's a big hard no from me.

20. Do you have any kinks or fetishes you really didn’t expect to be into?

Honestly, most things on the domme side of things. Like I know when I was a teen I liked the idea of like fighting for dominance, like wrestling... But I never imagined I would enjoy choking a man.

[naruto-scenarios-plus-akatsuki]

Hi! I love your works and I've read almost all of them

We could all use more Yamato, haha. Thank you for the request and thank you for reading my works :)

Slices of love, Yamato

“Oh shoot!” You exclaimed as your eyes widened.

You rushed to stop the bleeding, making countless noise as you dropped the blade you were holding, and it scattered to the kitchen floor.

You quickly went to the sink and ran the tap water, drenching your bleeding hand.

The commotion drew the attention of your boyfriend, Yamato, that was residing in the living room next door as he arrived into the kitchen.

“Babe, what happened?!” He questioned with concern in his voice.

“I fricken cut myself on accident while mincing onions,” you mentioned while cleaning your hand and wincing from the sting of the soap.

“Is it bad?” Yamato asked while coming up behind you to inspect the damage. He grabbed some paper towels and waited to hand them off to you once you turned the faucet off.

“No, its not bad, I don’t think.” You shut the water off, shaking your hands of the excess droplets before inspecting the cut on your hand.

“Let me take a look at it,” he offered.

You turned around to him and showed him your wet hand. He patted it dry with the paper towels, blotching up some of the blood. The wound was slowly bleeding already. Yamato looked at it closely, his lips puckered in thought.

“It doesn’t look like you need stitches. You should be good. Let me go get the med kit. You should take a seat, babe,” Yamato instructed, wrapping his hand around yours to make you clutch the paper towel to your wound.

He took off in search of the med kit. You huffed, annoyed at your own situation. You hated it when you messed up. It wasn’t like you never cooked before. You resigned and went to sit down at the kitchen table.

It didn’t take Yamato long to return. He placed the med kit down on the table and grabbed a chair to sit across from you. He immediately set to work on cleaning up your wound and wrapping it. You didn’t fight him but did complain when it hurt. He apologized as he never liked to see you in pain, but his focus was on the task at hand. When he was all done, he lifted your hand to kiss it.

You smiled at him, gratefully. “Thank you. Sorry, I’m such a clutz.”

He gave a light smile. “You got to be more careful.”

“Yea, you think with all the ninja training, I wouldn’t be so stupid and accidently cut myself,” you joked with a roll of your eyes, feeling embarrassed.

“Y/N, you’re not stupid,” Yamato stated all serious, looking right into your eyes. The warmth of his hand in yours grounding you to the situation. You knew how he felt about you bringing yourself down. He never liked to hear it and he didn’t want you to think like that.

Your face blushed as you looked away. “I feel like it when I do stuff like this.”

You were a bit of a perfectionist and Yamato knew that.

“Everyone makes mistakes. You’re not stupid. You’re smart and beautiful, but how about I finish up making lunch?” Yamato suggested with a humorous smile.

You nodded with a laugh. “I think so, since I’m out of commissioned.” You emphasized with a wave of your wrapped-up hand.

Yamato chuckled getting up from his seat. He kissed the top of your head with affection before walking over to the mess you started, picking up the knife that was scattered to the floor. You watched as he rinsed the knife off in the sink before he went to inspect the onion you were cutting up. He then continued where you left off.

Your eyes held adoration for your boyfriend, knowing there would be no one else that would care for you as deeply as he did and be so protective of you, even from yourself.

[faevi]

We fell asleep on the couch together on accident, how did my hand end up in your hair? Were you breathing on my neck?! (Why did I get tingly???????) for yamato pls?

I hope you enjoy ; w ;

——————————————————————————–

SCENARIO: Y/N & Yamato accidentally fall asleep together on the couch.

Note: 2,398 words. Feels!

“Thank you for helping me with the paperwork, Yamato-kun. I would have been there all night if it wasn’t for you.”

“It is a pleasure to help you, Y/N-chan. I understand the importance of paperwork but rest is also important, correct?”

The corners of Y/N’s lip curl up to form a small smile at the male’s words, hugging the last book to put away tightly to her chest. For several long nights, the female had to suffer alone with the workload. No shinobi were willing to give her aid, despite having no missions. She could understand why, though. Rest is important and yet, Yamato came to her rescue despite only arriving a few hours ago after an intense mission with team seven. Perhaps she does feel a little guilty but she did tell him to go rest and he insisted on helping her. He makes her feel good.

Her fingertips glide along the spines of the textbooks before seeing the empty spot on the highest shelf and before Y/N even attempted to lean up on her toes to place the book back, Yamato quietly plucks it from her grip and towers above her before sliding the book into the empty slot with ease. Y/N could feel her cheeks heat up from feeling his firm chest resting against her back.

The brown-haired male realises the physical contact and quickly pulls away. Yamato attempts to ignore the fluttering feeling in his stomach but it’s quite odd and he’s confused as to why it only happens around Y/N and especially when their bodies make contact. He knows to respect the distance between them, as the mere thought of making the female uncomfortable, makes him rather upset. Yamato never, ever wants to make the lovely female feel any kind of discomfort.

She misses the touch. It was brief but provided her with such warm comfort but, Y/N knows that the jōnin is too polite to step over any boundaries. Y/N wipes her hands together as she smiles up at him, tapping his forehead protector in a playful manner. “Come over and I’ll make you some tea?” She offers in a soft voice, cheeks dusted with a light pink. Yamato smiles warmly, bowing his head slightly.

“Thank you, I’d love to have tea.”

They both set off to depart from the quiet library and be happily embraced by the warm night. Y/N extends her arms out wide as she smiles up at the starry sky. “I love summer nights. They’re so relaxing. Not too hot and not too cold.” The female expresses and Yamato finds himself silently admiring the twinkle of happiness in her gaze. He’s glad that he was able to help her. The amount of times he witnesses her get buried underneath all the paperwork is not only exhausting for her but exhausting to see.

“Have you been getting enough sleep, Y/N-chan?”

“Mm, not really. I have to finish everything before the next day but it’s okay! I want to help our village in anyway possible.”

“Maybe I should talk to Hokage-sama.. Your health is important, too.”

“You often take care of me, Yamato-kun. But, it’s okay. Really!”

His brows knit together out of mild concern but he decides to not press on. They arrive at her apartment rather quickly, the jōnin offering his arm as they walk up the steps to the first level of apartments and admires how rosy her cheeks become at the innocent, physical contact. Yamato knows that he should be keeping his mind from thinking thoughts of desire for the female, especially since nothing could happen. They’re friends, nothing more.

Y/N swiftly unlocks the door and pushes it open, stepping out of her shoes before looking over her shoulder with a sweet smile. “Come on in and make yourself comfortable. I would assume you definitely prefer tea over any kind of drink?” The female cocks her head to the side as she walks further into the open area, leaning over the counter to flick the kettle on. Yamato smiles softly, pulling his forehead protector off of his head, sighing out of relief. As much as he enjoys being a shinobi, it can be quite tiring to have his face restricted by the large metal pieces but hey, it’s protection. He has witnesses too many kunais injuring his teammates’ faces over the years that he opted for a unique forehead protector that does more than just protecting his forehead. Despite the determination to wear it on missions and around the village, Yamato longs for the end of the day where he can take it off.

Yamato sets it on the coffee table, large hands rubbing over his face before he tilts his head, dark pupils staring at the kind female before him. The sight of her warm smile relaxing him. Right, he’s not on a mission right now. He can relax. “Tea is a perfect way to help with rest tonight, I think. Though, I’d be happy with anything.” He states with quiet confidence before settling on the couch. His body is relaxed but continuing to stay straight. It’s natural for him and he’s never the kind to slouch compared to jōnins like Kakashi. It’s something Y/N finds herself admiring. How could someone be so comfortable with perfect posture and never daring to have shoulders that slouch unless they’re feeling defeated by life?

The female hums softly, pushing strands of silky hair out of her eyes, setting two pristine mugs down, setting the teabags in and listening to the sound of the water beginning to boil. “Was your previous mission difficult? I bumped into Naruto and he looks like he was about to die on the spot from how tiring it was.. And Naruto is rarely like that. He’s always full of life. Just a little concerned that you came to help me when you could have slept.” Y/N attempts to reason with her tone laced with worry.

His hands instantly wave around, letting out a laugh. “I’m honestly fine, Y/N-chan! I couldn’t stand the idea of not helping you. So please, just let it go and do not fret. You have a few days off now for finishing it in advance, right? Please do not think about it any longer.” He reassures with the warmth never leaving his dark eyes. Y/N chews on her bottom lip, fingers tapping anxiously against the bench. Why was she still so worried? Did she still feel like a burden? Guilty? She could remember Shikamaru being annoyed with having to lend a hand and perhaps ever since then, Y/N hates bothering people. Still… It’s Yamato asking her to let go.

With the sound of the water completely boiled and the switch flicking back into place; Y/N grabs the handle and pours in the water. The female squeezes the rest of the tea out of the teabags before finally binning them. She could feel the tiredness beginning to kick in, muscles slowly aching and a yawn escaping. There’s a concern thought that invades her mind and prompts her to frown. He lives rather far away and it’s late.

“You can stay over if you’d like.”

“No, no. It’s okay, Y/N-chan. I do not want to be trouble.”

“Nonsense! You’re never trouble for me. You just live far away. I have a guest room, you know. So please, just stay.”

“I guess I can’t really reject such a kind offer.”

Y/N smiles with the success of her victory and sets the mugs on the table before him. “Excellent. Now drink up.” The female giggles softly as she flops down onto the small couch besides him. They’ve often been close so it’s no surprise that their thighs make contact and no one flinches. It’s definitely a friendly touch. Not intimate and that justifies that it’s okay in his mind. The brown-haired male gently rests a hand on her shoulder to squeeze before reaching out to take a small sip of the tea. He could feel himself beginning to wind down from the lovely aroma and warm liquid gliding down his throat.

Y/N rubs at her eyes as she sips from her own tea, gazing up at him soon after. “When’s your next mission?” She asks quietly, concern glazing over her eyes. Yamato let’s out a polite chuckle, eyes shaping like moon crescents as he smiles. “Not for a week. Requests have been quiet for a while. I guess a sign of some peace finally settling in. Though, I am sad to say it’s only temporary in this world.” He states quietly, as if worried about disturbing the comfortable quietness between them. The female puffs her cheeks out before smiling with her lips pressing against the rim of the mug.

“That’s a pity for the world. Though, I do know I’ll have peace for a long time. You bring me peace.”

Wait. That doesn’t sound like something a friend would say. Her cheeks flush red and she sets the mug down on the table before her feet come up onto the couch, hugging her knees. Yamato stares at her rather blankly, though with no menace or disgust. In fact, he feels better than before. He could relate to the words as they were… really good friends, right? He suddenly notices how her eyes already begin to droop and doesn’t shift away as her head rests lightly on his broad shoulder.

“I’m not tired, I’m just resting my eyes..”

The corners of his lips curl up into a small smile, an arm carefully wrapping around her shoulders, calloused fingertips caressing her bare skin. “Go ahead and rest them. I won’t move..” He mumbles quietly as his eyes didn’t dare look away from her face. It seems that the second her eyelids closed, slumber wanted to embrace her. Her soft lips are parted slightly as she breathes in and out, her chest raising with inhale and in Yamato’s opinion, she looks so incredibly beautiful even in her sleep. Her hand weakly holding onto a few of his fingers as she leans further into him.

This is okay. It’s more than okay. It shows that she trusts him enough to be at her most vulnerable around him. He wouldn’t dare move. Definitely not. That would be rude. His body is still, holding her gently yet cautiously. He’s starting to feel tired himself but it looks like he’s going to pull an all-nighter.

“Sweet dreams, Y/N-chan. You bring me peace, too..”

—————————

A low groan escapes him as he finds his back throbbing slightly with pain. His back is pressed against the back of the couch and thankfully with his skills, he instantly remembers where he is despite feeling groggy. He’s on her couch. Y/N’s small couch that would definitely not fit two laying people on it. No wonder he’s sore. Even though the ANBU member is slowly waking up, he didn’t want to open his eyes. Yamato focuses on another sense than sight. His touch. He could feel the silkiest hair through his fingers and the tips pressing against Y/N’s scalp.

His fingers are tangled into the female’s hair. His other arm wrapped so protectively around her as if he was worried someone would hurt her in her peaceful slumber. Y/N’s hands were gripping onto his untucked shirt, hot breath fanning against his exposed neck and it sends such heavenly tingles along his body. This is not how a friend holds another friend and he definitely should not be enjoying holding onto her body during their sleep. Yamato realises it now. He fell asleep by accident and failed his attempt at an all-nighter.

He’s silently disappointed in himself, especially since he’s still not pulling away. Yamato wants to hold her. He didn’t want her to wake up and realise their intimate position. His eyes eventually open, nose nuzzling against the top of her head as he sighs softly. Yamato is no oblivious fool. He’s just stubborn about not wanting to step boundaries but this is clearly stepping over it. He feels so warm as if it was sunshine flowing in his veins than blood. It’s wonderful. A new, wonderful feeling.

“Mm..Yamato-kun..”

He glances down, watching as Y/N wears an adorable pout and rubs the sleep out of her eyes before staring at him. Yamato gently squeezes her as he smiles softly. “I apologise, I didn’t mean to wake you. Take your time getting up.” He murmurs and he misses her touch already as she begins to set up. At least he could move his muscles now. The tone muscles flex and stretch as he sits up with her. Their eyes make contact and both of their cheeks turn a bright red. Could she sense it, too? The sparks that’s threatening to start a flame of passion and love between them?

Y/N smiles sheepishly, stretching her arms out. “Thank you for providing warmth. I’m an idiot for falling asleep on the couch.” She says with an amused giggle escaping, pressing a chaste kiss to the older male’s cheek. His eyes widen slightly, gently touching the spot that feels as if it’s tingling even stronger but he says nothing. He just smiles. The female jumps up to her feet, arms swinging around her body as she hums.

“I’m craving pancakes. Shall we clean up and get some?”

“It’d be a pleasure to accompany you, Y/N-chan.”

There’s a fluttery feeling in her stomach and she playfully bumps against him before rushing off to refresh herself. It’s nice that they didn’t make a huge fuss over their bodies being pressed up against each other so intimately during sleep. It’s natural. The ANBU member walks into the kitchen to splash water over his face before drying it off. Yamato tucks his shirt into his pants, grabbing his forehead protector to adjust back over his forehead with the cold metal touching his cheeks. There’s a sense of courage growing inside of him.

Several minutes past, the sun shining through the cracks between the curtains and finally, Y/N is ready. She has a wide grin on her face, opening the door for the both of them.

“Shall we?”

Yamato gently takes hold of her hand, their fingers lacing together and leans down to press a soft kiss against her forehead.

“We shall.”

Her cheeks flush red but before she could even properly respond, Yamato leads her out of the apartment to start their day together.

I feel like I've asked you before but I can't remember. I've tried looking through your posts but didn't find anything but here goes.

I'm writing a fic, Sasuke x oc / reader or whatever. I've gotten into the habit of writing usually from the character pov but I feel like sasuke is a difficult character to write for so I'm not sure if I should switch it up to the oc's pov instead. Another thing is that, it takes place during Shippuden. I'm not good with writing battle scenes and I'm not sure I want to even write that. How would you suggest I go about it? Any suggestions?

Oh I forgot to add, they'd part ways after the orochimaru absorption thingy as I thought her traveling with him would be a little cliche? So there's the question about the povs

I sent an ask a couple days ago and I hope you don't feel pressured to answer it! I hope you're doing well. Writing can be so stressful sometimes, especially when you want to write something but nothing is coming out. Everyone is here to support you whether you're writing or not! I hope things get better!

~ X ~

Hey there! So sorry I only get now to this ask, I felt like it deserved some proper thinking and answering on my part, and not just a nilly-willy response.

This is definitely an interesting fic you're writing ^^ As I don't have much experience myself with writing Sasuke, but my adivce would be to just try "him" out. Try to write the next scene from his perspective and see how that works out!

Giving a different POV to the reader can definitely spice things up a bit, as it shows the motivation and characteristics of the other side, so to speak, more clearly than descriptions of the original POV could. Especially with a closed-off character like Sasuke, that could open things up a bit.

Then again, depending on the end goal you want to achieve, writing his POV too early or revealing too much of his motivation could severely damage the impact you want to have on your readers later on.

If I might be so daring: in my fic "It was a long way" I mostly wrote in the POV of my character, only switching things up partly and later on (I believe, from chapter 10 or 11 onwards). By then, the big reveal had happened and the switch of POV or the memories from another perspective helped highlight the story between chapter 1 and 9 in another light. If I had included the POV of Yamato/Tenzo from, let's say, chapter 2 onwards, that would have ruined a lot of the tension and questioning, what the intentions of him would have been. But that is just an example on my part.

After all, every story is different and every writer works a bit differently. What works for me might not work for you, or you don't feel my advice at all, which is also fine. I can only tell you what my look on the matter is :)

And to the point of battle scenes... Yeah, I'm myself not very good at them, and I constantly try to avoid them as much as I can ^^" My best take would be to also try your best on one battle scene and see what that feels like. Better yet, try more than once, different scenarios.

Just a few little pointers: battle scenes don't have to be long, you don't have to describe every little innate detail. The adrenaline is rising high and smaller stuff will escape the characters in the heat of the moment. Also, there will be objectives for each character in their mind: one might want to protect the other, while the other is more focused on winning the battle instead of caring about their battle partner.

I hope this helps! Thank you so much for your lovely asks, and sorry again for the long wait!

helloo! i just found ur blog and i love the way u write!! could i request relationship headcanons w tenzo? maybe with a male reader if thats okay 👉🏻👈🏻

Tenzo with a male s/o:

author’s note: hello! thank you so much for requesting! I LOVE TENZO! He deserved and deserves so much love! Also, thank you so much for liking my writing! I hope you like it!

words: 1191

genre: fluffy like a lamb!

warnings: you may cry from tenzo’s cuteness

When I say Tenzo is the SWEETEST boyfriend, I mean it.

He spent most of his life by himself, so finding someone who he gets to spend time with, see on a daily basis (unless he’s, well, on missions or with Team 7,) kiss, cuddle, SPOIL? Man, he is in HEAVEN.

Matching outfits! It doesn’t have to be everything, but if you come out wearing a same colored sweater, he literally blushes and won’t stop thinking about how the both of you are matching (He really wants to make sure that everyone else knows you’re his, so, matching outfits are a go-to )

He is actually a really sweet person and he thinks about others all the time instead of himself, so you bet he’s constantly thinking about where to take you on the next date, or what he’ll cook for you!

He cooks often. Before he leaves for missions, he likes to at least leave you with a breakfast platter before he leaves.

Since he’s away on missions for a long time, he likes to leave little notes that you’ll find throughout his absence!

 “You’re so handsome!”

 “You’re my ray of sunshine”

 “Even though I’m far away from you… I have you in my heart”

Yes, they’re cheesy, but he actually likes cheesiness every once in a while, and ever since he bought the “100 Ways To Tell Your Boyfriend You Love Him” book, he’s been writing nonstop.

Doesn’t care what others think. He spent most of his life under the shadows, and so when he started dating you, all he really wanted to do was spend time with you. Whether it is eating in or going out on a cute, cheesy date, he’ll definitely show his love for you.

 Although he’s not the type to just make out with you in front of others, he often holds your hand or holds your waist close to him, always making sure that others know you’re happy with him.

 Puts you first! If you’re ever upset about something that he said or did, he immediately apologizes and fixes the problem.

Your happiness is his priority, 100%.

 He blushes and tries to act all “cool” like Kakashi every time you compliment him, but he fails.

 “Babe you look so handsome.” Immediately reddens, can’t breathe, has to look at the wall while saying “Uh, uh, thank you.”

Is shy when he first started dating you, and his complements were soft-spoken and short, but now he will literately write a whole novel about how the color of your eyelashes reminds him of the sun and the moon changing places during sunsets.

He’s a bit insecure of himself, but once you started complimenting how good looking he was and how sweet-natured he is even though he’s been through a lot, he eventually became a lot more confident and now tries different clothing styles.

 Is really afraid (AT FIRST) that you’ll prefer Kakashi over him because he looks up to Kakashi and knows how many men fawn over him. Even if you insist that he’s the only one you want in your life, it takes a lot of convincing for him to not be afraid anymore.

After he becomes really confident, however, he begins bragging about you to Kakashi.

 “Hey Kakashi, did you see Y/N yesterday during our lunch? He looked so dreamy, didn’t he?”

Absolutely LOVES being the little spoon.

He rests his head against your chest while your arms are around him, and he often falls asleep to the sound of your heartbeat.

You have a lot of talks about life if he manages to stay up past 11:30PM (let’s be real, Tenzo is a little baby. He is overworked, he never sleeps, and he has to babysit Naruto.)

He apologizes WAY TOO MUCH. You have to eventually kiss him to shut him up. (He eventually does but requests more kisses.)

Jealousy. Let’s just say that he doesn’t want you to leave for someone else, and if another guy walks up to you and tries to talk to you, you know Tenzo is immediately at your side. He gives the guy *that* (yeah that one that always scared Naruto) look and goes, “This is MY boyfriend.” Darth Vader type, really. 

He doesn’t try to be possessive, though, he knows you’re independent and he LOVES INDEPENDENT MEN! You do your thing, come home for dinner, cuddles, REPEAT.

 If you support him and his work, he’ll be the most grateful man in the world. His job isn’t the easiest to handle, with all the secrecy and all, so knowing you’re 100% on board with him working and coming home late, he’ll never make you regret dating him.

Supports you 100%.

 You have decided to just start working at a flower shop? Will cry when you give him a bouquet even if some of the flowers start falling off.

You have decided to start painting? Will come home with hundreds of canvases, paints, and other supplies needed.

He’s the first to cry in romantic movies. “He just loved her so much!” “Did you see the way she looked at her? It was LOVE.”

 Is the type to kiss you if a couple is kissing in a movie. (He always says he just felt like it, but you KNOW he just wants to feel like the characters in the movie.)

He also talks during movies. They’re just too exciting! 

 Is NOT afraid to knock someone else for you (especially if they’re homophobic --like, why even be homophobic? in this household we LOVE everyone.) 

The minute he hears about some jerks calling you names? He’s on their trail with his ANBU uniform and the whole, “Oh so you bothered my boyfriend?” attitude. (No one will bother you ever again.)

He likes cheesy nicknames.

 “Hey, honey!” “My lovely reason to be!” “Hi, baby boy!” “Pumpkin!”

 Is SUCH A DAD. He wears those neon tropical shirts just because. “Hey, it’s my day off!”

CLUMSY CLUMSY CLUMSY! Tries to leave early for a mission and ends up tripping over his shoes that he placed right by the bed so he wouldn’t forget about them. 

“Sorry for waking you up baby.” 

 Will lecture you if you say something negative about yourself. “Oh, I’m sorry, I JUST CARE ABOUT YOU! YOU’RE SO WONDERFUL! DON’T YOU DARE TALK BAD ABOUT YOURSELF! I LOVE YOU.”

 He doesn’t talk about his past too much, but he always talks about his sister and how much he misses her. The few times he’s talked about his past with you, he always insists that he’s 100% okay now, no matter how much of a lie it really is.

If you have arguments that aren’t immediately fixed and will end up with both of you being angry at each other, he’ll still say “I love you.” every time he sees you, which causes you to forgive him (most of the time.)

He bought you roses on your first date but forgot to pick them up after work and had you accompany him to the flower shop.

He loves butterfly kisses, cheek kisses, neck kisses, hand kisses, any type of kisses (as long as they’re in private.)

Overall, Tenzo is such a sweet, loving, and dedicated boyfriend that will just try to win you over and over again! He really cherishes you and is such a cute, clumsy boyfriend.

[x-authorship-x]

Anon's idea is good but like, what would happen? Would the squad just go attack Danzō? Would they go to the Hokage? Would Kakashi tell them about the time Danzō told him to kill Hiruzen and he told Hiruzen and he did nothing and that he's probably not going to do anything this time as well?

Oh, but maybe they go to Inoichi after making sure Shisui won't die on them. I could see Shisui asking them not to take him to the hospital in the chance Danzō is keeping an eye on it to find him

I think the major difference is that, in HOPE AU, none of the really bad shit had happened yet so Danzo was in the dark, Shisui hadn't revealed to him what exactly Kotoamatsukami could do, and there was no physical evidence so Inoichi took the legal route as much as possible. That....wouldn't happen here 😏

If Shisui, on the night he died, went to his Squadmates... Things would develop extremely quickly and violently. We're talking a possible ANBU revolt against Danzo, made possible because of ROOT infiltrating the Ranks so it actually looks like ANBU in-fighting, the Uchiha arriving late to the party just to kick off, the other Clans freaking the fuck out about bloodline theft, and it all turn's over within the course of hours/days instead of days/weeks/months!

As for the Squad taking Shisui to Inoichi, it would probs go more like;

1) holy shit we need to kill Danzo (queue Kakashi's thing about Danzo trying to get him to kill Sarutobi without consequences + Tenzo probably having a Moment™)

2) holy shit Shisui's still bleeding and almost died (we need to kill Danzo and get the eye back)

3) holy shit we need help... Who here knows a good adult????? Shisui's not-dad Inoichi! Crap!

They'd go to him but the chances of Inoichi slowing down the ^^^ above scenario of events unfolding... Slim. He's more concerned about Shisui and also getting to rip Danzo's mind to mush.... He'd go to Shikaku and Chouza, he'd get the other clan heads involved, they'd probably storm the hokage tower just in time to see ANBU arrive, having taken ROOT down and possibly holding Danzo's head! Ta dah!

Coffins (Yamato - Gen)

Summary: Yamato builds coffins. He doesn’t know what else to build. Words: 1.540 Rating/Warnings: Teen / Mentions of death, slight verbal/mental abuse, darker themes Inspiration: My Boy Builds Coffins - Florence + the Machine  Part 1 of the Florence Fics Series (Also on AO3) 

The first time Yamato uses his Mokuton to build something useful, instead of as a weapon of war, he isn’t sure how he feels. A small voice at the back of his mind says he is wasting his time, using a tool as a toy. He is being careless, foolish, stupid. But another voice tells him that what he is doing is okay. It is good to use something like his Mokuton to help others, rather than harm them. It is good to build, than to destroy.

Still, the doubt lingers and the item - a small wooden top - sits untouched in a drawer for quite some time.

The second time is almost the same. A lightness in his stomach as he creates something good and useful, followed by the tightness in his chest as words of disapproval crowd his mind. The second voice is quiet, but still it is there.

It doesn’t take long for Yamato to realize that the first voice - the one to berate him and insult him and remind him that the Mokuton is a weapon, that he is a weapon - belongs to Danzo. But the second voice is harder to identify. He doesn’t know where such soft, kind words come from. It certainly isn’t himself, and he knows no one else who’d encourage him like this. Yet the voice is still there, letting him know it is okay to create for good.

Yamato learns to build all sorts of things. Chairs and tables, rocking horses and dolls, walls and buildings. He even builds a bench for Kakashi, one of the very few people who’ve been a near constant in his life. But it isn’t the only thing he builds.

Secretly, as the years pass and he watches comrades and dear ones fall in battle, Yamato builds coffins. The first one is very roughly hewn and lopsided - a result of being made during extreme emotion. Fear, anger, sorrow. The first coffin belongs to another member of ANBU and Yamato has never felt more ashamed of something he’s created.

He isn’t sure how to feel about making coffins. They are, in his opinion, halfway between good and bad. They keep bugs out and keep bodies in - they preserve and protect, which is good. But it is a reminder that whoever the coffin is for, is dead. Dead from battle, from disease, from themselves. One way or another, it is the same. Making coffins seems to be on the very edge of a thin line teetering between good and bad like Yamato himself. He still wonders if he is good, or if he is bad. It is far too easy for people in power to twist their stories and make him believe he’s doing good, when he’s not. So he sticks to what he does know, which is that he can create with wood and he’s a ninja of the Leaf Village.

Yamato makes a lot of coffins. Large ones and small ones - since war and death do not care about age or status. He builds coffins for ANBU, for teachers, for genin, even a few civilians. The more he makes, the better he gets. He hates the fact that he is so good at making things like coffins. What he hates even more is that he knows one day he’ll have to make the coffin he dreads most.

One day he makes a plain coffin with splintered edges and dull wood, just large enough to fit the body - his body. He knows one day he’ll need one and if he can make it now, it saves trouble for somebody else later. Even when it’s for himself, he only thinks of other people and how he can make sure he isn’t inconveniencing anyone. He hates the idea of being a bother even after death.

He sets it away in his apartment to forget about it, but he can never forget about it. Death is on his mind constantly. Death surrounds him on every mission. He wonders if somebody will find it after he dies and bury him in it - or if it’ll be forgotten, only to be unearthed weeks or months later when the landlord decides to rent out his empty apartment to somebody else. He wants to leave the wooden box alone, but he can’t help but wipe it down every now and again. He doesn’t want it collecting dust - doesn’t want to get too comfortable with the fact that his daily reminder of death is going untouched. Yes, he’s lived another day - but that just means he’s closer to using the coffin.

Yamato’s habit becomes an obsession and soon he is building coffins for everyone he knows, everyone he has ever interacted with. Some are haphazard, created in the dead of night as anxiety and guilt overtake him and he can’t stop thinking, “One day they’ll need this, one day they’ll need this,” but he hopes and prays that that day isn’t soon. Sometimes he gets his wish - and the coffins go unused for a long time. Sometimes he isn’t too lucky, and  only a short time later is the wooden box loaded up and buried deep under the cold earth. There are weeks when he cannot sleep because someone’s died before he’s made their coffin. He feels like he’s failed - he wasn’t ready for them. There’s far too many of them, far too many deaths and far too many coffins to be built.

Some of the coffins he builds are nicer, created under a strange sense of calmness. They have round corners and blended seams and small details that make them unique to their future resident. He doesn’t know how to present them to the people he’s built them for. It is too strange to admit to them he’s thought of their death and, just in case, he’s prepared their eternal resting place out of obsession.

Out of the hundreds of coffins he’s built, there is one that stands out as his treasured work - a morbid favorite that he is both proud of and terrified of. It is the one he was most afraid to create. It is made of smooth, polished wood that reflects like a mirror. It is cold to the touch, but has the softest edges and nearly invisible seams. The inside is just as smooth and smells faintly of the great forests surrounding the village; he’s made it a bit larger than it needs to be. He doesn’t want the person to feel crowded, even in the afterlife. He knows they’ve always felt like they’ve been suffocated - by expectation, by ridicule, by rumor, by life itself. Perhaps, if only in death, he could give them the comfort of having enough space to breathe.

Yamato hides this coffin in his apartment beside his. He is afraid of when this one will be called up and used. He is afraid it’ll be before he gets to use his. He is afraid it’ll be long after he’s buried himself. The coffins go together - one rough hewn and splintering, one glossy and refined. He can find no time to be at peace as the days and months and years drag on and the coffins go unused. He knows one day - one day - one day. He dreams maybe not ever; but he hopes maybe they’ll go the same day. The coffins can’t be separated - he’s decided it now - they have to be buried together.

One day Yamato realizes he hasn’t built anything other than coffins - no toys, no benches, no buildings or walls. Just the dark wooden boxes that lie buried underneath the grass in the village cemetery. He thinks it’s a shame he doesn’t get to see the more lovely ones; and he can’t tell if that’s from the perspective of a craftsman, or something darker. But that same day he realizes he hasn’t heard Danzo’s criticizing voice telling him what he’s doing is wrong or foolish or selfish. In fact, Yamato can’t see what Danzo would complain about - he may not be using his Mokuton for a weapon anymore, but he’s still building things that remind him daily of the fleeting lives of those around him, the causalities of war, of death and destruction and all things evil.

And one day, as he’s wiping down the glossy surface of the second coffin shoved into his tiny apartment, he realizes he knows that second voice. The one that encourages him and lets him know that what he is doing is okay; that he can use his powers to create for good. It is a voice he’s heard so many times over the years; a voice that hangs on the air and is ingrained into every mental conversation he replays.

It is Kakashi’s voice.

And Yamato hasn’t realized until now, hasn’t realize this voice that has been taking care of him all these years is the same voice that has given him commands, guided him through missions, talked to him until the early hours as he - as they both - recovered from nightmares. He doesn’t know how he missed it, how he couldn’t tell it was his dear friend, especially since the voice was loudest when he was polishing his treasured piece - his magnum opus - the most elegant coffin - Kakashi’s coffin.
