saddest part of naruto is when the teachers are signing their students up for the chunin exams and iruka goes um actually. i JUST saw these kids graduate elementary school. what if we gave it a year or two. And they all spit in his face like he's the fucking devil

naruto examines the water can handed to him by iruka. narrowing his eyes, he looks up. "...so you're sayin' i just gotta water all these plants as punishment?" so weird, really weird. probably the least harsh consequences he's ever been given. honestly...how is this punishment? he ain't gunna say no, because he can totally finish this quickly and go do some training!

"i'll be done before ya can blink!" he declares with a wild grin. hugging the water can to his chest, naruto walks over to the closest tap to begin filling it. not thinking to stay to hear if there's more to this chore.

❛ no, wait — ! ❜ but the boy's already off, and whatever iruka has meant to say transfers itself into a large breath of sigh.

in all honesty, iruka knows that there might be objection about letting naruto water the small garden the academy is growing — not that there are any proper educational value to the garden that it should be earning any wrath from any member of the academy faculty considering it's more decorative than anything. which only further supports iruka's future argument that keeping naruto busy with watering the wild flowers and some poorly-maintained vegetation wouldn't be an issue at all.

as much of headache that would surely bring him, iruka lets the thought slides and re-focuses instead on the kid. naruto is... as enthusiastic as ever, although iruka wonders whether the prospect of a lighter punishment is what's driving that eagerness or is it the very fact that an adult has finally properly paid attention to him that does it. the thought alone shakes iruka enough that whatever anger he's held from the blonde's latest prank ebbs away.

or maybe, like mizuku'd always say, that's just iruka being easy. these days, tired enough, iruka barely has any energy to discern it.

whatever it is, he knows in truth he couldn't fully be mad at naruto long. he's— he's just a kid, after all. a little clumsy and a whole lot of trouble, sure, but he's... he's just lonely, isn't he ? and iruka had told the third before that that might lie the true issue, although all the third had responded iruka with was a long, thoughtful hum. so? he'd asked iruka then. what will you do, iruka-kun?

what will he do, iruka thinks, clenching his firsts by his side and clenching his jaw from the building frustration, before he concludes, in a voice suspiciously similar to his mother's, and determines: what he can.

so iruka marches forward – and this time it's not to yell. he bends forward instead, catches the watering pot naruto's been tilting over to let the water run over a particular flower, and as the blonde looks up, the academy sensei gives the boy a small, disarming smile. he continues, ❛ i'm pretty sure we can't over-water this one, naruto. this one, though, ❜ he points to a pot nearby, ❛ i think it'll be okay with extra. you think you can remember if i start showing you which plants need more water and which doesn't ? we can make a game out of it. if you win, i'll treat you to snacks on top of teuchi-san's ramen. ❜

" you wanna come to the festival happenin' this weekend?" naruto tosses out the invitation all of sudden. it just came to the forefront of his mind and he doesn't wanna forget. he bends down to pick up another kunai from their training session.

"i heard others from our class are gunna be there, figured it be cool to show up as group," he adds sending sakura a quick smile. he brings back all the weapons he collected and puts them in a pile. "if ya gotta work, call out." his blue eyes glitter with his tease. "it'll be fun! play some games and stuff ourselves full of good food." is he trying to entice her? totally.

the festival, right.

she'd nearly forgotten that it's this weekend had naruto not say anything. then again, sooner or later perhaps she could've expected ino to show up and remind her of it. it's a chance to let loose, the yamanaka heiress will predictably say, before sakura teases her on whether or not she's simply badgering sakura at all is because the blonde would be trying to distract herself from the fact that sai hasn't asked her out to the festival when he'd been dropping 'hints' – in whatever ways sai could drop any social hint – all month that he would.

speaking of ... maybe sakura could've had a hand in that. maybe. sai certainly seems fairly oblivious on things that comes quite naturally to others, but she still doesn't think he'd do anything to willingly lead ino on, and they'd be having a big problem the two of them if he were. but anyways— the one who came to her about the festival is definitely not ino. it's naruto. and while she doesn't think there ought to be anything particularly odd, or rather special, in his request, sakura still feels something in her lightens at the thought that he'd care to invite her at all.

she brushes threads of pink hair behind an ear, amused by the prospect of the festival he's offering to her. games and food, of course. not that sakura has any objection. it's perhaps the few things she truly has in common with the boys in team seven : she's competitive and food is heaven-sent, even if sakura can be quite forgetful of it during her shifts at the hospital. deciding to tease him, she cocks her hips, and raises an eyebrow; her tone half-mischievous, but mostly ( in an effort to sell the act ) suspicious.

❛ are you asking me out on a date, naruto-kun ? ❜ but the act cracks a little towards the end when sakura could barely hold her laughter, though she tries holding in the expression nevertheless, waiting for his reaction before a large smile overtakes her face, and she waves him off, grabbing the two water bottle for both of them respectively. ❛ i'm kidding ! i did have a few appointment set up that day but ... i think i can spare a few hours, sure. are you gonna come with a yukata then ? ❜

ugh—

there's no way, he thinks rather embarrassedly just as the blonde pinches at his cheek, there's no way kacchan wouldn't know right ?! especially when he calls out on the unspoken fact that izuku, indeed, wants to spend more time with him. although, in izuku's defence, of course he does. ever since they were kids, all he'd wanted was to spend more time with kacchan.

sometimes it feels like all this pent-up devotion were simply because their friendship had cut off so abruptly when they were kids, and izuku, in his confusion, only ever wanted them to be like how it was. one more day of having kacchan by his side; one more day of trailing behind him in the forest; one more day where the summer's warm and he knows they'll be doing it all over again when the sun shines once more.

although... it's different now, isn't it ?

it isn't as simple. but more than that, the thought of spending time with kacchan now doesn't just make his stomach curl in eagerness, it's– it makes the heart inside of izuku's chest races. it makes izuku want to run around the school ten times more to ease off the nerves. either way this sparring goes, kacchan wants to be around him. and god, that's just—

facing the blonde now, the green-haired hero-to-be licks his lips, but stares the other right ahead. undaunted. ❛ i'll give you two minutes, kacchan. two minutes, and we'll end the match if you can't keep up. doesn't matter if we draw. deal ? ❜ because izuku wouldn't lose focus : he would love a weekend out, yes, very badly in fact, but not at the risk of kacchan risking his own body.

and there it was : exactly what bakugou katsuki was after.

katsuki hazarded a guess that it was only a matter of time before izuku conceded, considering blackwhip made it clear where he stood. and when the young bakugou catches his gaze, there's no hiding the victorious smirk that slips across his face, because with that, he knows he had what he wanted within his grasp. he would have another round of training, and it would be with one of the few people who can stay one step ahead. [ midoriya izuku is just so easy for him, isn't he ? ]

though this time, izuku thinks to place a condition on it. what do i get out of it, and katsuki's smirk falters with brows furrowing. [ bold, he thinks. ] what does izuku get ? with gaze momentarily distant, he ponders a suitable bribery, and ...

❛ what ? this ain't enough for you ? ❜ mock hurt laces itself into tone, not at all serious as the blond pointedly pinches a freckled cheek and tugs. ❛ tch. you just wanna spend more time with me. ❜ katsuki refocuses. he's here for a spar. that means he's in it to win, even if more time doesn't sound so bad and the nerd looks stupidly dumb and cute like this. ❛ tell you what, then : you win this last round, and i'll drag you out somewhere this weekend. your choice. you lose, then the location's my choice. either way, you get something out of it, huh ? ❜

if bakugou katsuki can get midoriya izuku to cave to his demands with a look, maybe using his time as a sort of reward system will work, too.

also on a more ( perhaps ) controversial note : i really, really, really dislike the over-sex*alisation of s.akura. i, in fact, do not think she's suave [in terms of flirting] or particularly wanton. s.akura has canonically ever liked one (1) man*, and even then, it didn't go well. ( she was rejected multiple times and s.asuke did try to kill her, like twice, while she tried to kill him one time. ) which meant her frame of reference for romance at all sucks ass. she struggles with self-esteem issue ( canonically referenced multiple time when it came to her inferiority complex in team 7 ) and she is a workaholic!! if s.akura ever tried to flirt with anyone, it'll probably be super awkward and she'll probably come across as extreeeemely nerdy and/or work-obsessed!!

#s.akura talking abt the complication of heart surgery on the 1st date u best believe #she is a girlfailure in romance and we love that for her <33333 #ok. i'll admit: this stems from me seeing depiction of s.akura where shes like????? seducing men left and right #and im like 😭😭😭😭 WHEN #my girl was technically doing her medical degree since she was 12 #she has NO proper concept of genuine romance #especially one that's directed towards HER bc her frame of references are skewed!!!! #also i put an asterisk * is because we canonically have been reaffirmed that she's held feelings for s.asuke #buuuuut i do believe there was this brief overlap of romance @ n.aruto as well #bc again. her view of romance is skewed #i could talk abt that further but! perhaps another day :)) #but the summary is this: she does relate romance closely with the thought of being abandoned #sakura. #sakura; headcanons.

you can do this, says sasuke-kun, and sakura lifts her green eyes at him. the space between her brows are furrowing. the roots where her hairline begins are layered in sweat. he's calm, serious as ever. handsome, of course, and for a moment she nearly wants to laugh at the absurdity of the thought. handsome, while kami knows how she looks like.

he's always seems so... untouchable to her. unfathomable.

the boy who left her when they're twelve, and returned as some being close to god. him and naruto both, except naruto's always been... a tad warmer, she supposes. easier to laugh with, engage with, scold at even. while sasuke-kun... well, sasuke-kun's calm and composed. refine-looking. quiet, but steady. even now, as he's bleeding, he's the one who's comforting her.

useless. when will she ever grow from the kid who constantly needed to be saved ?

but she soundlessly takes his canteen of water. in truth, it isn't so much that she's panicking which is causing this unsteadiness, but more so that she's simply chakra-depleted. she can't fail though, because sasuke-kun's depending on her. and this is, after all, the one area she's supposed to be an expert at. so, with the swipe of the back of her hand against her lips after she's gulped her share of water, sakura nods her head. determined: ❛ you'll be alright, sasuke-kun. ❜

she tells him, and it's a smile she would've used on any worried shinobi during the war before she begins a necessary procedure: assuring. confident. with that, sakura tries again, focusing, and then slowly, but surely, the skin knits together.

❛⠀c'mon. lean on me. you'll need an emergency surgery when we arrive in konoha and no, i'm not taking no as an answer, sasuke-kun. ❜

Continued from here with @fightaers

Sasuke's leaning up against a tree, breathing slowly as blood seeps from his open wound. Sakura tries to close it, her hands glowing with healing chakra, though she's already expended so much during their fight. He can tell she's anxious about it, which worries him, considering he himself can tell he's got some internal damage.

It's his fault for not handling the enemies on his own. He should have, and then Sakura wouldn't have had to use so much of her chakra that she wouldn't be able to properly heal his wounds.

He didn't see her as useless, after all. She was an excellent medic. He trusted she'd be able to at least close the wound, once she focused.

If she could stop panicking.

To that end, he lifts his only hand and places it on her shoulder. "You can do this," he reassures her quietly. He fumbles in his bag for a canteen of water and hands it to her. "Drink a little. Take a deep breath... and try again."

"I'M FINE, JUST GO ON WITHOUT ME!" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

i can handle this myself.

you go on ahead. i'll catch up in a minute.

well, that complicates things just a bit.

i think it's better if i stay here.

i'll just hold you back.

i'm not leaving without you.

just go on without me!

i'll catch up with you! keep going!

it's not worth it! i won't make it in time!

you know what you have to do.

i'll find another way out!

i'm not leaving you to die!

i think i'm stuck down here!

the door's jammed! i can't get it open!

can you hear me? you need to keep moving!

don't waste your time with me!

get up! on your feet! i'm not leaving without you!

we always knew this was a one way trip.

i'll get them back to the ship. you go on ahead.

i won't be much use to you up there. might as well stay here.

i'll just rest here.

you don't have time to patch me up.

i don't think i can walk anymore.

i'll come back for you. i promise.

this isn't how we planned it.

this never should have happened.

we should have been smarter about this.

i don't want to do this without you.

you have to get up. please get up.

we're supposed to finish this together.

i promised [name] i wouldn't leave you here.

i need you to stay strong for me.

stay here and hide. i'll be back for you.

i'll carry you if i have to.

i'm only going to slow you down. it's not worth it.

listen to me. you have to do this without me.

i'll meet you there. i promise.

one of us has to survive this! might as well be you!

if you stay, we'll both die. do you understand?

they need you more than they need me.

no matter what happens... know that i love you.

this isn't goodbye.

maybe iruka's in a genjutsu.

he... doesn't think he is. he'd like to think that the world he's living in is, in fact, the reality. after all, for the first time in all of shinobi history perhaps, there is a union among the villages made possible by the conclusion of the fourth war. the same war naruto had helped won. naruto, who has grown up beyond being the mischievous kid pulling up pranks every other day. iruka would really, really like this to be the reality: because it means naruto isn't alone anymore. because it means he's recognised, and he's— happy, somewhat. fulfilled, iruka hopes. and that the village will, from now on, thrives.

and yet— there is some dissonance in witnessing the former defected uchiha here around the mission desk, writing a report through a crow summon. he's even turned around now, uchiha itachi, presenting whatever he's written with the sort of politeness that strangely has iruka tethered this entire affair as not-a-genjutsu-at-all, because that's certainly the sort of formal speech he'd expected from members of konoha's noble houses, fallen or otherwise.

well, when they're not being an asshole about ranks and their powers and all that, which he, too, is all too familiar with.

iruka gathers the report, and he reads through both papers and it's—it's perfect, iruka thinks around an unexpectedly warm smile. had he been the other's teacher, perhaps iruka would even say he's proud. or maybe he's simply thought of sasuke, a long time ago, when he still had the boy as one of his students. sullen, unhappy sasuke. iruka's heart clenches a little. should've he had done more before ? could he have done more ?

he shakes the thought, and smiles at itachi instead. ❛⠀you did well, itachi-san. although good for you, you've no need to write anything so thoroughly like this. ❜ iruka then proceeds to fish out a few documents from the rejected pile. he begins to sit down, explains to itachi one-by-one on why they'd rejected one report to the next, what itachi could look out for when he begins receiving report after report. one shinobi had forgotten to write a whole entire section. another didn't elaborate well enough. the next one barely had legitimate handwriting.

❛⠀they'll try to intimidate you, because no shinobis like being told 'no' in case it's incomplete, but it's important to stand your ground. ❜ iruka told itachi next, before proceeds to direct the other man into the sorting pile. here's the assorted missions from rank A to D. S-ranks are always directly reported to the hokage, so we wouldn't be finding them here. then to the part of the office where they'd store already-accepted mission reports, and where finance would typically sort them to compensate the correct shinobis before it's moved to archives.

❛⠀i hope you wouldn't mind me sitting next to you the first day, itachi-san. ❜ iruka takes his seat, scratching at his nose, half-embarrassed. and he hopes the other shinobi wouldn't take this as iruka undermining his skills as jōnin-level above would tend to do, it's just ... iruka couldn't predict how other people would react being around a former traitor, and he just—he couldn't stand bullies, okay?

ㅤThankfully for all parts involved, Itachi is quite adept at dealing gracefully with awkward situations; courtesy of wisdom beyond his years and, just as much, extensive practice in dissociation ever since the dreadful night of the massacre.

ㅤOne wouldn't need functional eyes to see how uncomfortable Iruka seems to be with the situation as a whole, and the Uchiha reckons the sensei can't be blamed for it. Maybe he shouldn't have been so candid in revealing his... condition, so to call it? Couldn't be helped, though. Even as a young child, Itachi already had a knack for deadpanning matters that ought to be treated perhaps more delicately; not out of malice, but out of not understanding why it was such a big deal to start with. Yes, he is blind now. What of it? Mangekyou are the eyes that allow him to wield the power of literal gods, it's only [morbidly] fair that such comes at high price.

ㅤAnd, if he learned anything from it, it was that grown-ups don't take well to being asked what the meaning of life is by a four-year-old. Definitely not how to grow less earnest about this kind of matters.

«Let us give it a try. In fact - maybe I can improve upon my original idea.»

ㅤActually, how come he didn't think of this before? Then again, he's only rather recently been released from the hospital; with Tsunade's and Sakura's attention on him most of the time, not to mention a nurse always ready to heed his calls, Itachi truly hasn't had much need to adapt to almost-total blindness. Only now, trying to gradually return to regular life, small challenges keep arising one after the other. Which is fine by him, tenacious and resourceful person that he is.

But, yes, improve the idea.

ㅤWith Satoshi hopping over to perch himself atop the nearest shoulder, Itachi activates his sharingan and takes a moment to connect with his summon. Once their consciousnesses are joined, he experimentally attempts to share the visual enhancements as well and - ah! Success! He is, indeed, able to see through the crow's eyes while, at the same time, maintaining access to the sharingan's attributes. Reaching over, he next grabs a blank sheet of paper and a pen and quickly writes down a perfect copy of the mission report Satoshi is currently staring at - handing it over to Iruka for appreciation.

ㅤ«Can you tell me if there are any mistakes, compared to the original? If not, then I'd say I'm ready to start working.»
