today on unnecessary tanktops

aww how cute look at all the shinobbys in their....tank...tops

why are those little students all wearing tank tops. surely unnecessary midrifts would be frowned upon, you need to keep your skin covered to protect from swords??? unless its a manditory uniform for pre sword students .....

so...does that mean that EVERYONE has had to wear that at some point?

youre welcome.

the only new people that i care about in this cursed school trip arc is the bootleg kisame and the bootleg hidan. they are the only people that are making me watch this

Am I the only one who noticed that Hachiya is clearly enamoured with Sarada at the end? He was totally completely "Yes, Sarada-san" with that blushy-blushy face.

Headcanons for being Kagura Karaitachi's five-year-old sister and Isobu's jinchuriki

Note: I did some changes on the parents, hope you don't mind. Also, I hope that you'll enjoy this.

Genre: fluff

Warnings: protectiveness, violence

Being the grandchildren of the third Mizukage Yagura alone was a big hardship for both you and Kagura, as the two of you were treated coldly by the people of the Kirigakure;

Both of your parents died shortly after your birth and Kagura, then only 9 years old, was forced to be both a sibling and a parent for you;

With great reluctance Kagura enrolled into the Kirigakure Academy to be trained as a shinobi, which also earned the two of you guardianship of the Sixth Mizukage;

At the academy Kagura befriended Tsurushi Hachiya, who would frequently visit and play with you;

Of course, these visits would only occur in Kagura’s presence as he was super protective of you and would only allow you to be alone with a specially assigned Jonin while he himself was at the academy or attended to Lord Sixth;

You, on the other hand, had shown a tremendous potential at a very early age, believed by the Kirigakure council to possess even greater powers than Kagura, making some council members to consider you as the best candidate as Isobu’s jinchuriki vessel, however, Kagura would not allow it and Lord Sixth agreed that such decision would need Kagura’s permission;

Unfortunately, enough, at the age of four, when you were practicing to enroll a pre-academy institution you suffered a fatal injury;

You were climbing a training wall, when suddenly your support rope snapped and you fell, hitting a rock in the process and breaking your spine;

Upon discovering this, Kagura went into a rage at the academy, reducing the main training hall to a rubble;

Kagura agreed for you to become Isobu’s jinchuriki as the last resort of saving your life, which successfully kept you alive (and kept Kagura from awakening his dark, homicidal side);

For the first three moths Lord Sixth gave Kagura leave to stay by your side and also selected more jonin to guard your home, since now you were Isobu’s jinchuriki;

You would wake up every morning with breakfast in bed provided by Kagura;

When you were finally able to get out of your bed regime, but not yet able to successfully walk, Kagura would give you piggy-back rides around the village, stopping by a shop to get you no less than three portions of dumplings;

The best thing which you enjoyed though, was preparing snacks together and it was with great pride that Kagura presented your creations to his colleagues;

He would take you in his arms, when you were frightened by Isobu, who occasionally tried to break out from his restraints and he always stayed by your side when you slept, going as far as sleeping on the armchair in your room, in case you might wake up from nightmares or Isobu’s ragings;

Now that the Three-tails sealed inside of you, people kept away even more than ever, and your brother became the main source of love and kindness for you;

Soon enough minor rumors began to spread of the closeness between you and your brother, despite him already explaining to his classmates that the reason for his protection over you is because you never had parents and currently you were unable to protect yourself;

But as soon as the rumor appeared they were put down (Kagura himself took on the task and did it quietly and masterfully enough for it to not be made a public knowledge);

A year after becoming Isobu’s jinchuriki, you had finally made full recovery from your injury and Kagura had also calmed;

Kagura began to help out other young shinobi and treated them with a similar kindness, which he would share with his sister;

When it was finally time to for you to enter pre-academy institute;

Kagura brought you there whilst holding your hand and offering an assuring smile;

Due to his undivided attention for you and care after your injury, you began to see him more as a father figure than a big brother;

You never knowing your parents also played a major role in the development of a father-child rather than sibling relationship;

Kagura would watch and cheer for you, being proud of your progress at only age of five;

After a rough day of training he had developed a habit of giving you a piggy-back ride home and you were always delighted for his loving treatment.

Цуруши Хачия. Из первого взгляда он высокомерный и грубый парень. Но на самом деле он милашка. Он добрый красивый и сильный. Он не плохой посмотрите на его глаза он в отчаянии. Как и любой человек в детстве он тоже мечтал сделать что-то действительно крутое и из-за этого не нужно его винить, ненавидеть. Хачия не слабый хоть он в силе немного уступает всех, но он силён в том что может понять собственные ошибки и любой момент просить прощение. А ведь это не мене важно.

Meeting shizuma headcanons

For that lovely polite nonnie <3

 Hassaku

Shizuma found hassaku scurrying around in the dark of his villain lair hideout . hassaku was arguing with his family and gone out for a walk in monsoon season. He had ducked into the building to get out of the rain. Shizuma found him nearly asleep on one of the gantries. Startled and spoiling for a fight hassaku attacked shizuma but he was no match for him.  Shizuma can smell emotional vulnerability a mile away, like blood in the water .hassaku is in marvel at how easily this man knocked his ass to the ground and now? Listening to him is like savlon of the soul. When shizuma asks him to join him hassaku jumps at the chance .

Buntan

Buntan and shizuma met at the academy but not the way you’d think. They were in the same year but not the same class. They would occasionally make goo-goo eyes at one another across the canteen , buntans friends telling her to ask him out, but it never went any further than that. They didn’t have any real interaction until the chunin exams.

The year they graduated the exam took place in suna; all the kiri kids are water babes and as such they were suffering in suna’s dry heat. Buntan and Shizuma were paired up at random by their tutor for a quick sparing match early in the morning before it became too hot for them all. Buntan was taking her training seriously but shizuma was just playing around. As far as he was concerned the exam was beneath him. Buntan called him arrogant , until he told her it was beneath someone of  her skill too; buntan was struck dumb. Shizuma took advantage of the situation to win the match but honestly she couldn’t bring herself to bear much of a grudge .

Especially not after he invited her out for dinner to make up for it. They got to talking and realised how much they had in common ( regarding the blood mist anyway)

Theyve been pretty inseparably since.

Ichirota

Shizuma went looking for Ichirota.  Hes a year or two his senior so i doubt they were in the same class. He might have seen shizuma around the academy but its been implied that shizuma was a poor student so i doubt they associated much . mr Ichirota “perfect grade” oniyuzu does not affiliate with second class low achieving scum. Especially not a low chaste member of kiri like a hoshigaki.

Ichirota is terminally bored of life. Hes looking for anything to make things interesting for him . no one is more surprised than Ichirota when shizuma slides into his life with his ideas of revolution.. it doesn’t take long for Ichirota to become completely devoted to the idea and by affiliation, shizuma.

 Hebiichigo

Hebiichigo was out of the academy for over a year before she met shizuma. They were both on penance for botched missions at the time: doing menial labor around kiri . hebii is tiny. Labor is not for her, she tried to tell the powers that be that she couldn’t do something like that but no one listened. Bitter and grumpy everyone else on penance avoided her for fear of stabbing. nobody noticed hebiichigo get knocked over and stuck under a pile of logs . shizuma herd her swearing and squeeking by accident and simply came over to investigate out of curiosity. He eventually got her out, after about 20 minutes of laughing and even offered to help  her finish her work as a reward for giving him a good laugh.

He then discovered that hebiichigo has a damn good right hook. He recruited her because she is mean as all hell and always ready to fight. if youre going to war you need an angry goblin like hebiichigo

Kyoho

No one knows where shizuma found kyoho. He speaks so little the only reason everyone in the stripe squad knows his name is even kyoho is because he has it on the door of his room.

The prevailing theory is that kyoho used to participate in a lot of underground illegal sparing matches in and around kiri. They’re pretty popular since fighting to the death is discouraged now  thanks chojuro . they think shizuma must have gone to watch or participate and found kyoho down there like some sort of kiri god of war. Impressed by his bloodlust and sheer strength there was no way shizuma was going to leave someone of his skill alone. He just sort of showed up one day with a suitcase ( no one knows what was in it) and moved in to their hideout. Shizuma just acted like it was totally normal and everyone was too freaked out by this behemoth of a man showing up on their doorstep to ask.

Kagura

Shizuma only took the position of senpai at the academy teaching all those little snotty brats how not to use a sword  because his parents told him it would be good for him ( or rather they said do it or suffer our wrath)  Shizuma was just a bored instructor half heartedly supervising until he saw kagura. He’d heard the rumours ; that Yaguras grandson was in the academy, but he didn’t believe it until he saw kagura for himself. Ever since then kept an uncomfortably close eye on kagura waiting for the chance to  get closer to him.

Kagura being the little cinnamon roll he is never noticed shizuma trying to monopolise his time, never realised that shizuma was the one spreading rumours about kaguras viciousness around the academy in an attempt to drive him to shizumas side. Not until it was too late anyway

 BONUS

Tsurushi Hachiya

Tsurushi fell in with shizuma totally by accident and got too deep in way to fast. The light closed above him and now he was sort of stuck with a crazed murderer. He knew from the start that this new group of friends was bad news but he didn’t care. He had a group of “friends” who listened to him, who looked up to him. Shizuma saw he had a large following of blind fools who just wanted to cause trouble

Their first meeting was cool enough. Shizuma took him and a load of others out to dinner , flaunting his power by getting them a private table in the back room. Tsurushi felt like a kid at the adults table but he didn’t care because this was just so cool!.

Things  were going swimmingly...untill shizuma reviled he knew several of his minions had betrayed him. Their food poisoned they were dead within minutes leaving the rest him stairing in abject horror while the rest of the table looked on in apathy.

Shizuma could only smile at his reactions.”how cute” he had said. Tsurushi wasn’t used to death, especially not when it had fallen on his lap before the hors d'oeuvres.  It didn’t occur to Tsurushi until much later that this wasn’t just an efficient way to get rid of his enemies; it was a warning to him and him specifically. “ this is what happens when you mess with me.”

Tsurushi will forever be grateful to boruto and sarada for getting him out of that situation and putting shizuma away.

[stripesquadsideblog]

also where the shit is Tsurushi?

[stripesquadsideblog]

little heart necklace?

so ignore whats happening and focus on the necklace. i thought at first it was just some random shape like borutos twisty thing but this is the best picture ive got of it and its clearly a heart <3

why would a big tough ninja wear a little silver heart necklace?

its defiantly a family heirloom. or maybe even his family emblem/ crest? do you think Hachiyas are all medical ninja? or maybe they’re lovers not fighters and they all just love hearts or something?

i headcanon that his big sister left for Kumo when he was young, it actually belongs to her and she left it for him so he wouldnt miss her

like i mean we find out in later eps that hes a total softie and it makes more sense then but still <3

[stripesquadsideblog]

Tsurushi Hachiya headcanons

Poor boy is a mess. He comes across all tough but really he is a smol squishy cinnamon roll who cries when he stands on ladybugs.

He has 0 self confidence . i think his parents have him that way unintentionally by constantly going on about how great and successful his sister is. They don’t put him down per say its just that now when he accomplishes anything he doesn’t feel like its worth mentioning in comparison to her.

Has an older sister who is a pretty high ranking Jōnin. She currently lives in Kumo as a teacher in a sort of exchange program teaching the kumo kids the ways of the hidden mist sword techniques.

Although she actually specializes in barrier and sealing techniques.

She loves Tsurushi dearly but isn’t above smacking him for his stupidity .

His parents call her over after the field trip incident because they just don’t know what to do with him anymore and she is 1000% ready to murder him ...until she sees all the cuts and scars and bruises that shizuma gave him.

He lied to his parents and told them he got carried away in training but his sister waS HAVING NONE OF IT WHO DID THIS TO YOU I WILL EAT THEM.

PROTECTIVE SISTER MODE ACTIVATED.

His parents are non ninja and have absolutely no idea how dangerous being a ninja actually is.

His mom knows some techniques but shes more just a stay at home cookie baker

Unless one of her kids is out of line then its more like “by kami not in my damn house may the lord have mercy for i will have none”

His dad is kind of dippy . like Tanaka from black butler. He mostly leaves the kids to his lovely wife because shes got this ,she knows what shes doin

Even when shes about to murder someone he’d probably be like “ ill just hold your flower bby, go kick some ass”

Basically his parents are cool.

That being said they do remember how bad the village was during the blood mist days and are ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED TO FIND OUT THAT TSURUSHI WANTS THINGS TO GO BACK TO THAT , PLZ NO SON OF MINE.

They do their best to dissuade him with all the horror stories of stuff they saw but mostly they just hope hes going through a phase

However after the field trip arc when they catch wind of him being around a bad influence like Shizuma .they decide theyve had enough of his delinquency and poor grades and send him to Kumo to live with his sister.

Initially he doesn’t like Kumo but as hes pretty handy with a sword and one of only a few Water style users in the village he eventually comes to love it.

After meeting sarada he was pretty smitten. He was incredibly grateful to her for healing him and allowing him to help fix his mistake, but he was also pretty taken in by her skill. Not only was he impressed she could take on Buntan despite only being a Genin but he was amazed by her medical abilities

because of this he decided to become a medic ninja himself

As i mentioned boi is a mess. He does eventually manage to learn how to heal people but its mostly small stuff  ( idk like all the knife and swords wounds his friends get after training )

If he panics he loses any ability to fine tune his chakra so hes not really dependable in a high stress situation

But speaking of chakra hes actually pretty versatile in a fight. jack of all trades master of none sort of thing.  He’d be pretty good at filling in any gaps in a team but just don’t expect anything higher than Chunin levels of skill from him

Right now water style is his best but after moving to Kumo he learns wind style to upset the lightning users

Being the little ball of Panic he is he really works better in a team than by himself

This isn’t to say he COULDNT work alone. But he’d spend so much time second guessing himself it’d likely get him hurt

NGL hes a bit of a drama queen . one of the main reasons he fell in with shizuma was because he is an attention monster and shizuma knew how to prey on that.

He’s not attention starved per say but of you want to get on his good side you better make everything about him till hes hooked in

When you have hooked him in he will follow you like a lost puppy

Speaking of slightly unhealthy relationships, i know hes only a bby BUT hes defiantly a sub. Like really “YES MISS SARADA” while hes carrying her on his back? BOI IS WHIPPED

That being said hes not spineless...at least not totally. He will actually turn the air blue swearing at stuff.  A habit he picked up from his older sister and mom.

His first complete sentence was “ where the shit are my keys”

His favourite food is castellan and coffee icecream. He lives off of Mochas

His least favourite food is anything pickled

@dreamer-and-rude thanks for all your help with these

[stripesquadsideblog]

Perhaps I should concentrate at work? Well, not gonna happen anyway XD 2,4,5,9,11,28,35,41 if you don't mind.

big post so brace yourself

2. Hate

Tsurushi is not a hateful person by any stretch ofthe word. He likes to put on a tough guy facade, pretend that everything sucksin that stereotypical teenage angsty way. He says he hate many things: peace, foreigners,his class mates, his clan mates and basically anything different from hisfriends narrow world view.

Everything Tsurushi hates is simply for the sake offitting in.

After the field trip arc he patches things up withKagura and stops hanging out with a bad crowd and eventually the little cuddlebug he is comes back out. He’ll never be a flower child with a smile and a hugfor every living thing like some of his clan mates but Tsurushi is generally areally nice person with a kind heart.

Ichirota on the other hand can be a very hatefulyoung man. He is bitter towards his parents for essentially isolating him whenhe was younger (even as an adult now he fails to understand it was for his owngood as he was very ill), he hates the era he lives in and Chojuro for creatingthis world of peace were people like him just don’t fit in and he really hatesoutsiders who preach chojuros peaceful nonsense without understanding what it’sreally like to live in a peaceful kiri.

While he’s not usually outspoken in his hate ofthings, he gets a lot worse after the field trip arc. He’s prone to violentoutbursts and huffing like a child when his views are challenged. His parentssuspect he’s resentful towards shizuma for failing him but they don’t quiteknow how to ask.

 4. Fears

Tsurushi as I’ve mentioned is a mess with anobvious anxiety disorder bubbling in the background. It might not be a fullblown illness right now but he’s defiantly going to struggle with it in thefuture.

In terms of actual quantifiable fears Tsurushi isafraid of Shizuma. Not so much after seeing him beaten and broken by boruto andkagura, reduced to a bloody mess on the floor a dejected look on his face as herealises how badly he just fucked up. No after seeing shizuma like that he can’tbring himself to be afraid of him anymore. He’s dangerous, like a caged animalyes but Tsurushi only pities him now.

When Tsurushi was a child he was afraid of caves aswell. There are a lot of caves in and around kiri that fill with water becomingwatery coffins for anyone unlucky enough to be trapped in them. After going tothe academy and learning some basic water survival he’s mostly conquered thisfear but still shudders occasionally on a stormy day during high tide.

Ichirota is afraid of lots of things. Not that youwould ever know that. He keeps his fears hidden behind a veil of confidence.But this mask is paper thin, it wouldn’t exactly take someone like Ibiki morinoto push the wrong buttons or pull the right string and have it all crumblingdown.

Ichirotas biggest fear is actually being trapped:inside a cell or a room or a coffin. The size doesn’t really matter he justneeds to know that he can get out

5. Crying

Ichirota and Tsurushi are both ugly criers. Their facesare red and their noses are running and they sob and hiccup like children.

However where they differ is in the details: Tsurushigoes from 0 to 10 awful fast. He could be ok one second and the next you need alife raft to escape the deluge of tears. However it doesn’t really take much tostop him crying again and get his face back to normal. One well timed joke andhe’ll nose laugh himself happy again.

Ichirota on the other hand is a real slow builder. Ittakes A LOT to make him cry but when he does he just can’t stop. He gets prettymelodramatic about it too, like if HE is crying then the world must be ending. It’spretty difficult to get him to stop and it takes hours for the flush to fadefrom his face and the redness to fade from his eyes.

9. Music

There is always music in kiri so both of them grewup with it. I think they can both play some sort of instrument. Tsurushis momsings and plays the piano and I think he probably did too at some point. He eithergave it up when he became a big tough ninja or gave it up when people found outhe liked to sing and play the ninja equivalent of Mozart because don’t be such a girl Tsurushi. He tries to hide it but if there’s musicplaying he probably knows it and will sing the lyrics under his breath

Ichirota has really grown to hate music. His parentsforced him to play when he was younger. They tried everything to get him interested:different tutors, about 20 different instruments and even bribery. He would getgenuinely interested every now and again because he was too sick to play with the other kids so he might as well. But gradually interest dwindles and he windsup staring at the ceiling again.

11. Best Friend

Tsurushi has a lot of friends, or at least thatwhat he tells himself when the group gets together to try and cause somemischief. But when he’s home alone he realises that none of them would come ifhe called and it makes him pretty depressed. He looks at a photo of kagura andhim when they were academy kids and wonders if he made the right decision tofollow shizuma if it meant being such a jerk.

He tends to just push those thoughts to the sidebecause who needs a best friend when you have as many friends as him?

Ichirota never had friends as a child. He developeda bit of a superiority complex to cope with it. A sort of “I don’t care if you don’t like me, I’m too good to be your friendanyway” thing. He was ill and then so socially maladjusted he didn’t makehis first friend until he was a genin and put into a team. Ichirota was prettystandoffish at first. I mean he was essentially forced to be friends with thesesecond class losers.

But as time wore on, he eventually he came to lovethe people in his team. The worked flawlessly together and he has photos ofthem together everywhere he goes.

But like most things with growing up eventually theteam had to move on. One member left to marry her fiancé. They live in sunanow. The other member was asked to join the hunter squad. Even if Ichirotawanted to talk to her he probably wouldn’t be allowed.

Now as an adult he is loyal to a fault and dare Ieven say a bit clingy. He was willing to die by explosion for shizuma and hisplans. I think it goes a bit beyond best friends with shizuma, almost to an unhealthydegree. There’s a little bit of idolization and hero worship in there thatsomeone emotionally unbalanced as Ichirota could do without

28. Home

Home for Tsurushi is the hachiya family plot. It isquite unlike the rest of kiri. It is lush and full of life and greenery. Hachiyashouse is covered in constantly blooming flowers and wildlife. The inside of hishouse is always the perfect temperature, inviting and present. The wet climateof kiri is perfect for growing things but the cold tends to let them down. As suchthe family land is heated constantly by their fire style users and is now someof the most fertile growing land in all of kiri.

The hachiya family uses this to grow herbs and medicinesfor most of the village. They are among the kindest clans in kiri and have noproblem sharing with anyone who might need it even outsiders. Now you mightthink that kiri Nin would eat such kindness alive but you’d be wrong. Everyone hasa sort of fearful respect for the high ranking Hachiyas because if they everrealise what kind of power they have in being the village healers (and thendecide to withhold it from anyone who’s mean to them) the whole of kiri wouldbe collectively f’d in the A.

Ichirotas house is constantly cold even in themiddle of summer. To the untrained eye it looks inviting and lavish. The oniyuzufamily are mostly non ninja with expensive tastes. They like things they knowand have a fondness for antiques. The clans land is decorated like a feudalvillage. With the clans enormous wealth they have found a way to incorporatethe latest technology in with the old world aesthetic.

Ichirotas house is not his home. When he joined thestripe squad they let him in on their little secret: an abandoned building theyhave turned into their head quarters. Shizuma shows him to his room. It’s easilya 1/8 of the size of the one he’s used to but he loves it 100x more. Because it’shis and he earned it and he can decorated it whatever way he wants. Home for Ichirotais a pokey shoe box room in a crappy old building decorated with lights andphotos and best of all no antiques.

 35. Guilt

Tsurushi has massive amounts of guilt about prettymuch everything he’s done in the last few years. Try as he might he just keepsmaking stupid decisions because he’s justso afraid of sticking out .he wants friends and he wants to fit in but atwhat cost?

He acts out of course in different ways trying tocope with it. Yells at people who don’t deserve it for asking questions “why don’tyou hang out with that karatachi boy anymore? He was lovely, such a politeyoung man.” Eventually the guilt keeps him awake at night. By the time thefield trip arc rolls around he’s hardly sleeping at night, frequently nappingduring class and in the afternoon when he should be up and about.

After the field trip incident he decides to make achange. He stops talking to shizumas messenger boys and makes up with kagura. Theguilt doesn’t fade like he wanted it to but he hope with time, things willchange.

Even after being caught and getting in trouble. Evenafter hurting a lot of people and even after he finds out about all shizumasmurders Ichirota refuses to feel oraccept any guilt. He remains stubborn even as his mother is crying in the chairacross the room for him just begging him to admit he was wrong and say he’s sorry.“I didn’t do anything wrong” he says through gritted teeth causing his motherto sob and his father to shake his head in anger. “I didn’t do anything wrong” he repeats it like a mantra as theycart him away in hand cuffs.

By the time he reaches his cell it’s more of aquestion than a statement

41. Memory

So I’m not sure if this refers to a specific memoryor their ability to remember stuff so I’ll just go with if they have a goodmemory or not

Tsurushi has an ok memory. He frequently forgets toput on matching socks, grab his lunch on the way to class and leaves hispartially done homework on his desk but he always knows what day it is, whenpeoples birthdays are and how many bottles of his favourite soda are left inthe fridge.

Ichirota hates forgetting things. Really trulyresents it. He has very few memories from early child hood. He spent so muchtime in hospital back then he tells himself it’s probably not worthremembering. He’s beginning to getting more forgetful lately too which reallyscares him. Both sets of his grandparents had some sort of dementia and hewonders if it’s hereditary or that his illness may have set it off prematurely.He brings his concerns to his parents who tell him he’s probably just stressedor tired. he thinks to himself that he can’t wait to forget about them.
