super funny to me how fuinjuutsu specialists are functionally the wizards even among the ninja wizard populace of naruto. give them some paper and prep time and they start playing with reality like it's made of dough. anyways, some things iruka does with his fuinjuutsu that are cool and fun and thematically resonant:

he gains the most renown for his seals, of course, but has carved out a niche for himself in learning how to enchant weapons and clothing. for iruka, who does everything he can for others, this was a natural progression. (fuinjuutsu, like anything else in this world made possible with chakra and grit, is about intention, and will, and some healthy disregard for the laws of reality. iruka's only desire had ever been to protect as many people as he could, to let them be as safe as they could be, to come home. of course he would learn to make their clothes tough enough to deflect blades. of course he would gift weapons that don't break, that could cleave mountains in two if the wielder tried hard enough. violence is the way of this world, and iruka has learned about survival since he was a child; he will give others what they need to survive, until the world no longer needs such things. it will be considered a kindness until it isn't.) his fuinjuutsu mastery becomes so refined and covetous that the daimyos have received enchanted items by him, as well as the other kages, but iruka gives away most of his craft to the general populace, and most often for free, because they are the ones who need it most, and the most deserving besides.

if cursed seals exist, then surely the opposite can as well? iruka is willing to experiment and kakashi is more than willing to be the test subject. it's desire and willpower made manifest into ink, put onto skin, but instead of kakashi carrying around the remnants of ambition and greed, he has iruka's love for him, writ large and deep, so deep he can feel it to his marrow. there is no pain, just warmth and a soft pressure, like a kiss, like a hand on his shoulder. that blessed seal, like many other things kakashi carries on his body, will come to save his life many times. and if nothing else, it serves as a beautiful tattoo, inked on his left arm, covering his anbu mark. call it a shedding of the skin, at last, for a man who's worn too many it became so heavy. let it be a start to him writing a better ending for himself, with iruka's hand to help steady him, his generous heart reminding kakashi that he can want better for himself. iruka always could see the potential in everyone.

Sworn to Devotion: Chapter 1 - Part 5

>> April decides to bite the arm of the kidnapper.

(Art by @lovelyladylavie)

While her kidnapper’s gaze is steadfast in keeping eye contact with April’s guard, his hand wielding the knife lacks the same unwavering commitment. The white-knuckled fist clenching the dagger shakes mid-air, and the jitters are enough for the blade’s tip to leave her neck. 

It’s a split-second decision. So fast in fact that April’s tasting blood in her mouth before she realizes she’s sunk her teeth into the flesh of her captor.

However, this isn't the first person she's bitten, and he won't be the last.

The man screeches as he tries to pull his hand out of her mouth. The muscles in his hand twitch and seize as April’s teeth sink deeper. The blade clatters to the floor, forgotten as the man tries to free himself.

“What are you? An animal?!” The kidnapper finally rips his hand from her mouth and shoves her away from him. 

April throws her arms out in front of her, wincing as her arms collide with the rough surface of the cavern’s floor. Twinges of pain shoot up her arms, and she wouldn’t be surprised if the sharp gravel cut through the thin fabric of her sleeves. 

“You’re gonna pay for tha-ack!”

April whips her head around to see the yokai guard thrusting the previously abandoned dagger into the man’s chest. The guard twists it, a sickening squelching noise originating from the open wound being shredded. The man wetly gasps, desperately trying to get air into his lungs—though it will certainly not save him.

The yokai guard pushes the kidnapper to the floor, leaving him to take his last gasps of life. He then looks at the dagger and scowls. 

“Condescending hum, the weapon of thieves and criminals.” He holds the blade’s hilt between his thumb and index finger—like it’s covered in filth—before tossing the bloody blade aside, far away from April and her kidnappers.

April watches her guard as he looks over the bodies once more—presumably to make sure they’re dead—before his eyes fall on her. He jolts, his eyebrows—comically drawn onto his purple mask— shooting upward as if he’s surprised that she’s looking at him.

He rushes to her side, offering his weird three-fingered hands to her. “Ahem! Princess, ah… April. Are you alright?”

April narrows her eyes. Did he momentarily forget her name? And his question lacked any warmth and concern. April isn’t going to get anything but the bare minimum from him, is she?

But she doesn’t have time to wallow in self-pity.

She takes his hands, letting him pull her to her feet before wiping the blood from her mouth with her sleeve. “Y-yeah. I’m… I’m fine. The blade didn’t hurt me or anything like that.” Her gaze drops to her arms and she frowns at the blood blotching the shredded fabric. “Scraped my arms up a bit though.”

“Ah! Let me assist you, I have a small aid kit in my possession.”

He guides her over to one of the large rocks in the cave and sits her down. The torn sleeves of her dress are pushed past her shoulder, revealing the collection of small abrasions scattered across her forearms. April hisses as the open air touches the wounds, though she tries to swallow down her discomfort.

The yokai guard does not comment, only pulling a small sack out from underneath his armor and rummaging through the contents. He pulls out an amber bottle and gauze, popping the cork off and pouring the clear fluid onto the fabric strip.

He then places the bottle on the floor and takes one of April’s arms in his hands. “This will sting.”

That’s about all the warning April gets before the fluid-soaked gauze is wiped across her arms. She bites her tongue, trying not to cry in pain as the guard makes quick work of disinfecting her arms. 

He’s certainly not being very gentle, but considering how he was glaring at her earlier this week, April’s just happy he’s taking the time to clean her wounds. He’s at least doing the bare minimum. 

Once the guard is satisfied, he tosses the used gauze on the floor and delves back into his bag. April watches as he takes a large roll of gauze and wraps up her arms, covering all of her scraps and cuts completely.

He finishes securing the bindings before nodding his head. “There. Are you injured anywhere else?”

April runs her hands along the gauze, pleased with his work. “No. I think that’s good. Though... where are we?”

>> April looks around the cave.

OPTION 1: The walls of the cave are made of grey-and-white speckled granite, smoothed over time. However, a thick layer of gravel coats the floor, and the cave continues to tunnel deeper into the earth, the path downward shrouded in darkness. Distant sounds of dropping water echo through the cave.

OPTION 2: The walls of the cave are plain gray with white quartz crystals. Some are small and barely the size of a thumbnail, while others reach right up to her hip. It’s almost magical the way the crystals catch the light filtering in from the outside. Nestled behind one of the crystal clusters is a chest, the green paint peeling away from the weathered wood.

OPTION 3: The walls of the cave are dark grey, with unlit torches lining the stone surfaces. There are a few wooden boxes littered along the sides, all bearing a red footmark. The cave continues to tunnel deeper into the earth, the path downward shrouded in darkness. The air coming up from the deep tastes almost stale.

Silver?

I, ah… Almost forgot to tell you, Happy Mother’s Day. I haven’t celebrated it in a while, but… You deserve a day all to yourself.

@the-devoted-ninja

"Thank you Espio, it means a lot to me." *Silver said, giving the chameleon a hug and a small kiss on the cheek.*

okay but… Splinter was never like Superfly.

He was like Baxter.

He wanted his boys to be safe, to be able to have a family around them. He wanted to protect them.

Superfly saw themselves as the same, but they never were.
