Rules
1. Mun is 30+ so some mature themes may happen on this blog. 
2. No godmodding/metagaming, be respectful, etc. I am not afraid to instantly block anyone who can’t show some basic respect. 
3. I am highly selective and mutually exclusive, if we are not following each other, I will not interact. So please let me know if you’re following for a sideblog so I know we are mutuals then. 
4. Please notify me of your triggers and blocked tags so I can tag appropriately. That said my own triggers are incest, rape, pedophilia, and sexual abuse in general. I will amend this list as other triggers come to light. That said, I do have muses who have SA and CSA as triggers in their info, it is only past mentions of it happening though, my own trigger with SA comes in with images and explicitly detailed writing. Interact with Ash Lynx and Shorter Wong with caution if CSA is a trigger, I write them both as survivors of it. I also black list the tag #one piece, please tag your content be it rp or art, I want nothing to do with this fandom and don't want it on my dash. While I have it in my DNI I understand some fandomless OCs and multi blogs rp in it still, I need you guys to tag your verses and content for it please.
5. I am a multi muse, please specify the muse you want to answer said ask when sending one, the only exception to this is OOC/Mun games, I will answer those as myself. Also if you’re a multi or sideblog please let me know the url/muse the ask is from when sending. I am also multiverse, multi ship. Each ship is in it’s own verse, I do have mains and exclusives though. I am okay with some pre-established stuff as far as platonic goes, friends and familial bonds. All I ask is you just run it by me first to make sure it works with my headcanons, romantic ships though, I prefer chemistry.
6. You are always welcome to turn answered asks into a thread, all I ask is that if you move it to a new post, please @ me because I use thread tracker, I also track my replies by the number of drafts I have. That way by @'ing me, I can throw it into my drafts as soon as I see it and then work on the reply when I have time. I use the thread tracker to keep track of my RPs and x-kit to trim them. Thread tracker tracks the thread by the post number from my own blog. Do not move the post every reply. If from an ask, I will allow you to move it once to a clean post and then I will reblog and track from there.
7. I am not an aesthetics source or RP resource and memes blog, please reblog from the source when possible.

9. Do not reblog in character threads you are not involved in. They are not fanfics, they are for my RP partner/s only. Personals please do not interact on them. Anything tagged #ic is off limits.
10. While I do not fully diverge, my portrayals are headcanon heavy. Keep this in mind when interacting with my muses. As some things may be applicable to them that are not discussed in the canon verses.
11. I will not interact if I find your blog to be utilizing A.I. or reposting stolen/uncredited art.
12. DNI: One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood blogs. 13. My timezone is US EST/GMT-5 (New York Time), so if you can't reach me at a certain hour, I am probably asleep or having connection issues with net and data.

HIIII! I noticed I never made an introduction for my blog but I GUESS BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, RIGHT???
The name's Angi (pronounced 'ahn · ggee'), from "anguila eléctrica" (electric eel) which I'm apparently very akin to???? Anyway-- LKASMDLDMA.
I'm 21 years old (9/12; yes, I'm a Virgo ASASDSA), I'm Latina (South-American), and I speak English like absolute shit. Still I don't seem to have the ability to shut up so be ready if you decide to follow me aaaaaa.
I don't have a DNI, because I don't want anyone to feel like they can't enjoy my blog and its, uh, questionable contents, but please don't be an asshole to me or to other people! Being nice is free, making other people happy is beautiful, and the block button is a wonderful thing lmao.
Some of the fandoms I'm in include:
Resident Evil (specially Luis Serra my papichulo culón).
Batman (Jason Todd simp arfarf)
Jujutsu Kaisen (Suguru Geto, Satoru Gojo, Toji Fushiguro kinda?)
The Evil Within (Stefano Valentini and Juli Kidman)
Outlast (mostly Eddie but I'm down bad for everyone asfads--)
Slasher fandom (Thomas Hewitt, Michael Myers, Ghostface, The Grabber, etc.)
Hollow Knight
Fate (mostly Grand Order)
Naruto (Obito Uchiha, Tobirama Senju)
I know the lore of FNAF but I'm just barely in the fandom (mostly for William "Murder Daddy" Afton content arf arf)
Call Of Duty (mostly MW/John Price)
Miguel O'Hara (así a secas aasfadas--)
And probably many others I can't think of atm aaaaa.
I'm very energetic and I love talking to people online, so I'll be more than happy to interact even if I'm awkward as fuck!! I'm also a proshipper (non-discourse blog) and I'm shamelessly hornyposting like 80% of the time, just in case you may want to keep that in mind.
I occasionally write (#angi writes filth), may drop some headcanons (#angi thinks filth) or ramble about my random ideas (#angi rambles filth), post some memes (#angi memes filth), but more often than not I'll publish some drawings (#angi draws filth). My personal tags are #angi talks filth (for more casual talk), #angi answers filth (for asks and tag games), #angi vents filth (for my sad boi character arc), #angi's filthy love life (for when I'm heartbroken and complaining pipipi), #angi rps filth (for AI chats and the like), #angi fashions filth (for fashion talk) and #angi's filthy face (for the rare occasion I might curse your dashes with my ugly ass face).
I am bisexual and demisexual; my gender's a mystery so don't ask me about it LMAO. OH, and I have DID, but my bois don't like to talk to people so lmao you might not even notice. I'm ALSO a big tiddy goth girlfriend so you'll hear me ramble about fashion probably a lot more than is considered normal.
I'm running out of things to say and this shit's getting long, so THANK YOU and I'M SORRY if you made it this far. I hope we'll get along and something about my blog brightens your day!! BESITOOOOOS~

Sasusaku Month 2022, Day 3 Shared Apartment
And then they were roommates...University AU
When Ino first decides to move to the city, her father is absolutely consumed with worry.
No amount of "But Daddy, Sakura is a black belt!" could calm him, so they ended up compromising that a few trusted mutual parties would have access to her apartment in cases of emergency. 
Emergency being a loose term.
Because, Ino severely underestimated the distance between Sakura and her new apartment from the university and overestimated her willingness to commute. 
Sakura and Ino had specifically chosen their new abode because it was the sweet spot between the university and the bars downtown. But the university was still a 25 minute walk uphill, a 17 minute full sprint run, and the bus system was unreliable at best. 
Which is how Shikamaru finds himself outside the door of his childhood friend's apartment at her behest to grab the report she printed but forgot to bring to class.
Shikamaru had been over to Ino's a few times before, just never in a setting where there wasn't a party involved. 
He unlocks the door gingerly with his spare key that he hadn't ever used before today. The apartment looks so different when it’s not crowded with people and smelling of stale beer.
As he takes off his shoes at the entrance, he hears someone washing the dishes in the kitchen. 
He is about to call out to Ino to ask her where she put the report exactly, when he remembers that Ino is the one who sent him to the apartment.
This is Mr. Inochi's worst nightmare. 
As far as he knew, Sakura had been on campus since 8AM because she is an overachiever like that and Ino is the one who sent him to the apartment. 
Quickly he runs through who could possibly also have a key;
Him. Check.
Choji. On campus.
Possibly Sai? 
Wait, were they that serious yet? And if they were, why was Sai doing the dishes and not running across campus to deliver Ino's report?!
He turns the corner, fully intending to tell Sai to get his shit together.
Instead he finds Sasuke at the sink drying a plate. 
They stare at each other blankly before Sasuke looks away to dry another dish, ignoring Shikamaru completely. 
“Uh…” Shikamaru really does know what to say. 
Sasuke the cryptid of their friend group. The friend of a friend really. 
He had transferred to some fancy boarding school when they were kids and just recently reconnected with Naruto and Sakura. But even then he is still a pretty mysterious figure. 
In fact, he only ever begrudgingly shows up to parties with Naruto or makes an appearance when Sakura is around. Otherwise, he is just the shadow in the corner. He keeps to himself and otherwise only communicates in biting remarks and glares. 
Shikamaru isn’t even sure if he goes to the same university as them. 
So the fact that Sasuke is standing in Ino and Sakura’s kitchen, carefully placing the mugs on the drying rack, makes Shikamaru wonder if the weed he got from Kiba was stronger than advertised. 
“I’m just going to go grab Ino’s report…” 
“Sure.”
Shikamaru makes a mad dash to Ino’s room. 
Sasuke continues to arrange the spoons in the cutlery drawer. 
Once he has the report in hand and is exiting the apartment, he dials Chouji’s number in panic. Because he has tea!
Ino: we have leftovers from yesterday u want?
Chouji: YES
Chouji knows he shouldn’t abuse the powers of the spare key to Ino’s place but hey isn’t free food always an emergency? 
Plus Sakura was supposed home so really it wasn’t like he was just coming for the leftover pizza from yesterday’s party. He was also socializing!
After he opens the door Chouji makes a beeline to the fridge. Piling the pizza boxes in his arms, he turns to the living room to see if Sakura is there and to ask her if missed any other morsels. 
Chouji stops in his tracks.
Sasuke is on the couch folding shirts.
Blouse-y shirts.
Shirts that he is pretty sure he saw Sakura wearing last week.
“How did you get in?”
Chouji had heard about the whole awkward encounter from Shikamaru, but to be honest he thought that his best friend had been stoned and hallucinated the entire exchange. 
But now, seeing the man in the flesh, Chouji owes his buddy an apology. And needs a drink
Sasuke briefly looks up before returning to the laundry, “Sakura.” 
Chouji laughs nervously because Sasuke is still intimidating in lounge wear. “And where’s Sakura? I should say hi….” 
“Napping.” Sasuke answers without even looking up. 
Chouji wants to leave, pizza or no pizza. No free food is worth this. 
— 
“So Sasuke, how are you?” Sai asks the other man who is making two cups of tea in the kitchen.
“Fine,” Sasuke answers the other man who is waiting for his girlfriend to finish getting ready for their date. 
“I see.” 
A moment of silence. 
“And Sakura?” Sai continues, thinking that more conversation will help him befriend the other man. Ino had always said she wanted to go on a double date with Sakura.
“Studying. Big exam is coming up.” Sasuke adds some honey to one cup. 
Another moment of silence.
Ino sure is taking a long time to get beautiful. 
In a last ditch effort, “Do you like sports?”
Thankfully for both of them, Ino comes bursting out of the bathroom. “I’m ready! Let’s go!”
She ushers Sai out the door, “Don’t wait up!” she calls out to Sakura who no doubt has noise canceling headphones on. 
“Bye Sasuke,” Sai tells the other man cheerfully as the door closes. 
Three months later on the rare afternoon that Sasuke isn’t bumming on their couch or goddamn vacuuming their entire apartment, Ino sits Sakura down at their dining table for a much needed heart-to-heart.
“I need you to give it to me straight,” Ino takes a deep calming breath, “Are you two a thing?” 
“What are you talking about?”
“You and Sasuke!” Ino practically screeches. 
Immediately Sakura turns completely red and begins sputtering like a dying fish, “What?! No! NOOOO! We’re friends! Just friends!” 
“Then are you two fucking?”
“NO!” Sakura denies even louder. 
Ino wants to strangle her roommate. 
“You. Can’t. Be. Serious!? He practically lives here!” 
“No he doesn’t! He just comes over to hang out!” Sakura says, digging herself into an even deeper hole. 
“Sakura. Girl. Please.  Sasuke has been doing our dishes for months.”
“He is just being nice!” 
“And your laundry! Just yours!”
“He’s a good guy!” 
Ino screams in frustration. “I swear if you are not at least sucking his-”
Sakura’s phone chimes loudly. 
Ino narrows her eyes at the interruption. “Who’s that?”
Sakura reads the message then turns her phone over to hide the screen, “I don’t want to say.”
— 
These days, Itachi only ever sees his brother in passing. 
Between their busy schedules it’s to be expected, the brothers are like ships in the night. In fact Sasuke the past few months seem to disappear for days on end. 
Today is one of the rare days that Itachi and Sasuke cross paths in their shared apartment. And Itachi is absolutely mystified as to why his brother is packing a small cooler with tupperware. Like enough food for the weekend. 
“Where are you going?”
Sasuke sends a text. “My girlfriend’s.”
A/N: No, Sasuke is not on the lease. And yes, he forgot how to talk to people while in boarding school. Happy Sasusaku Month 2022!

2. what’s his ultimate goal? does he have a plan for afterwards? 3. how does he view konoha as is? the hokage system? the way it runs? 4. what are small quirks he has that no one ever thinks of? 5. his little …….. summons (?) how does he treat them? 6. at the end of the day, what does he want ? how does he go about getting it? 7. who is the person menma looks up the the absolute most?
default verse unless stated otherwise. it’s a lot so i’ll spare the dash of a long post.
2. to find something to do. for a long time, menma didn’t know who he was. he saw himself as a monster, a tool, other things that were completely dehumanizing. it works, he was treated and raised exactly like that and even after, he didn’t really stop that trend. the older he gets the more he wants to find himself, find something to do, some place to settle. he wants to find a way to separate himself from kurama again, but he thinks it’s a lost cause. he doesn’t see an ‘afterwards.’ he sees a today, a tomorrow, a yesterday, but no real long term thing. he’s his friends, he’s not the people who know him, either, he wants to sort his mind before anything else. this takes years, decades, even into the next generation being born he’s still looking.
3. in as little words as possible, he’s anti-government. these people, in menma’s eyes, did a piss poor job in running a village. there’s still orphans in the streets, kids being pulled into the darkness and being trained to kill each other. he doesn’t have enough interest in politics to offer ideas on how to fix it, but he thinks that the villages shouldn’t have formed, or at least people shouldn’t have been beaten into submission to join them. there’s failure after failure because things got so big and while at face value it’s looks nice, there’s so many people still suffering from decisions idled hokage have made. this question in and of itself if more than enough for me to write an essay on, but i won’t.
4. typical captive quirks: fidgeting, pacing, messing with things he has no real interest in, re-establishing his sense of place when people aren’t looking. he nods quite a bit instead of actually answering out of his mouth. he doesn’t like to speak, so he uses an almost alarming amount of hand gestures for a guy. he talks, mostly mumbles, to himself. not to kurama, to himself.
5. his summons are essentially a split up kurama. his relationship with kurama is something completely unique to him, so he was able to actually turn the failed cloak into summons. the logistics behind it is a work in progress, though. he treats them well, though. better than he treats himself, better than he treats other people. he doesn’t use them all that often, not for fighting anyway. more prone to call them for company. he’s soft of all of them even if he won’t admit it.
6. some level of inner peace. to be understood, but also to be feared. he wants people to see him, but he won’t let them in. if you meant in a deep sorta way, then go back to the second question. if you meant in a simple sorta way, he kinda just wants to be left alone by time the end of the day comes. he’ll literally avoid everyone if he has to, vanish completely if he has to.
7. menma doesn’t look up to people. in a really twisted sort of way, even after not wanting to know naruto for so long and flat out hating him and being jealous of him for so, so long, he looks up to naruto the most. not in the same way most people do (because he’s strong and stubborn and gets things done and he keeps his promises and ALL these other things), but because had the roles been reversed and menma was the one left to live naruto’s life and naruto was brought into root, menma knows that he wouldn’t have been able to cope or deal with all of it. he knows of what naruto went through and he finds how naruto managed to keep his mind is something menma looks up to. this doesn’t mean that he wants to talk to naruto or interact with him from his own volition, it doesn’t mean that he wants to be friends or brothers, he doesn’t want to bond and he doesn’t want to hear more about his life. he doesn’t want to swap stories, nor does he want to idolize naruto for not going insane. that’s the only thing he looks up to and even that is barely.

I am Boruto Uzumaki, and I am Hyuuga by PeacefulWarrior82
Anime » Naruto Rated: T, English, Adventure, Naruto U., Hinata H., Boruto U., Himawari U., Words: 13k+, Favs: 139, Follows: 92, Published: Dec 15, 2014 Updated: Dec 28, 2014
52Chapter 1
Naruto Characters are property of Masashi Kishimoto. Many people speculate how Boruto and Himawari could follow in their father's footprints. For a while I felt that also. but then i realized, it was right in my face the entire time of how they can deal with personal struggles. This short story is one such tale, It takes place between ending of Naruto the last movie and chapter 700.
00000000000000000000000000
It was a bright sunny day in Konohagakure, one Hinata Uzumaki was seen with sweat dripping off her face as she reached her last pull up before letting go of the bar in her room. She proceeded to rub her arm and stretch it out. After showering she got dressed and went on about her day. She walked past a family portrait. Himawari was sitting quietly on her lap smiling. Boruto on the other hand was seen struggling and uppercutting punching his father in the throat.
Upon seeing it, Hinata laughed so hard she begged Naruto to let this be their family portrait. Naruto clearly agreed after promptly grounding his son.
" Nee-sama?" Hinata heard from downstairs. She walked down.
" Hanabi! Hi!" Hinata walked over to see that both Hanabi and Hiashi standing in the foyer area. "Hi what's going on?" Hinata asked.
" We decided to stop by, we have something of a rather large matter to discuss. Is Naruto here?" Hiashi asked.
" He took the kids with him to the store, he should be back very soon." Hinata said. " So what's this large matter?"
Hanabi looked to her father who's eyes dimmed. Hinata looked at them.
" What's wrong?" Hinata asked.
Hanabi appeared to be getting emotional. She tried smiling as she spoke " Well…..I'm pregnant…."
Hinata's eyes lit up. " Are you serious!?" She said ecstatically. " That's great news!"
Hanabi looked at her father.
" What is it?" Hinata asked. "*gasp* is the baby ok?"
Hinata looked down at Hanabi's abdomen and activated her Byakugan.
That was when she saw it. She looked back up at Hanabi.
" Oh…" Hinata knew right away why Hanabi was upset. " ...I see."
" I won't do it…" Hanabi said, beginning to cry. " i can't do it."
She reached to hug her sister " Nee-sama don't let them do it!" She cried.
" Hanabi!" Hinata said as she placed her hands on her sister's shoulders, making sure she looked her directly in the eye. " Naruto-kun and I are NOT going to let that happen, do you understand?"
Hanabi shook her head yes, tears still in her eyes.
" Does the council know?" Hinata asked Hiashi.
" No."
" Good, let's keep it that way. The less they know , the better."
Hanabi smiled as tears still came down her face.
" Don't worry about that. Be happy! You're gonna be a mother!"
Hanabi laughed.
" "Jii-san!" Boruto yelled as he dashed towards him.
" *gasp* jii-san! Hanabi baa-chan!" Himawari came running after her brother.
Boruto leapt into his grandfather's arms.
" Boruto!" Hinata said.
" It's ok, these 2 keep me young." Hiashi laughed.
" Let's train!" Boruto yelled. Himawari ran up and hugged her grandfather's leg.
" Maybe later Boruto, Hanabi and i have to talk to your parents about something."
Himawari ran and hugged Hanabi's leg. " Hanabi 'baa-chan, will you play with me today?"
" Of course I will sweetie." Hanabi said.
" Yo!" Naruto said walking in with a bag of groceries.
" Good morning Naruto." Hiashi smiled.
Hanabi bowed.
"Hey guys what's up?"
Later….
" Twins?" Naruto said.
" Hai." Hiashi said.
" I see…"
" Naruto…" Hanabi started. " I always wanted to have just one child so I would never…..but I didn't anticipate this…."
" As you know Naruto, I myself am a twin. But I was the first born, so I was made future head of the clan. My brother Hizashi on the other hand was branded with the caged bird seal, and forced into the branch house. If we allow the council to have their way, it will be the same case for Hanabi." Hiashi said.
" I wanted to do this when I became Hokage, but it looks like it can't wait. Let's go see Kakashi-sensei. He'll help." Naruto said.
" Naruto, that won't work. Kakashi-sama won't be able to do anything." Hiashi said.
" He's the Hokage, he can fix this." Naruto said.
" Naruto…" Hiashi started. " Don't you think the previous Hokage tried to put a stop to this for generations?"
" Well if they had, why is it still around?"
" Naruto, when the fore fathers wanted to build the Hidden Leaf what they needed more than anything was finance. That is why the came to the Hyuuga with their proposal, since they were trying to unite the clans anyway. When they agreed to pay for most of the resources they had stipulations, namely that when the Hyuuga join the Hidden Leaf, the governing bodies stay out of their affairs. This was a stipulation that was to remain intact indefinitely. This in turn explains why no Hokage has been able to do anything." Hiashi said.
" I didn't know that." Naruto said. " But then why come to us?"
Hiashi was silent for a moment. He brought his hands together in front of his face. " Naruto…tell me, how much have you learned about the Uzumaki clan?"
Naruto was silent. " Hiashi, if you know something please tell me and don't dance around it."
Hiashi took a deep breath. " Naruto, the Hyuuga have been around for a very very long time. During that time there was much civil unrest which led to infighting in the clan, Branch and Main families fought constantly. A generation came where the head of the Hyuuga clan at that time realized that this would lead to the extinction of the clan. So he sought out a means to keep the branch members under control. The threat of execution clearly did nothing. So he needed a way to physically disable them from attacking the Main branch. That was when he was approached by a member of the Uzumaki clan."
Naruto and Hinata were shocked.
" You should know by now Naruto, The Uzumaki were masters and innovators of sealing jutsu. The one who approached the Hyuuga was a warden at a prison for the most vile of shinobi criminals. The Uzumaki created this seal to place on the heads of criminals upon admittance to the prison. If an inmate were to attack a guard or a riot broke out. They would simply activate the seal to subdue them."
Naruto looked down at the table, he didn't want to believe it, but everything made sense. " Oh my God, I told Neji I would change the Hyuuga clan, but my ancestors are responsible for his pain.
" Naruto, you cannot blame yourself, nor your clan, it was this one Uzumaki who for all we know desperately needed the money."
" I can't…no…" Naruto stars at the table below him.
" Naruto-kun…" Hinata held his hand. " That Uzumaki was not you. There's nothing we can do about that but we can do something now."
" Like what?"
" Naruto, the Uzumaki always made it a policy to never create a seal without a way to release it." Hiashi said. " You might be able to find out a way through your lineage."
" Gah! I wish my mother had told me more about our clan with the little time we had."
" Well for now, Hanabi you will be staying here. We don't want the council activating their Byakugan and accidentally seeing the babies."
" Nee-sama I can't do that! I don't want to impose." Hanabi said.
" Nonsense!" Hinata said.
" Hanabi baa-chan can sleep in my room!" Said a voice from behind a wall.
" Gah! Way to go sis!" Boruto yelled.
" You 2 were eavesdropping !?" Naruto said, his eyes white with shock and frustration.
The next day….
Boruto was wearing Hyuuga training attire as he attacked his grandfather with a palm strike which Hiashi parried.
" Excellent Boruto!" Hiashi said. He launched a kick to Boruto, He quickly blocked it.
Boruto had been training in Gentle-fist for almost 2 years now. Hiashi couldn't believe his grandson had gotten as far as he did despite not having the Byakugan. However, he managed to adjust thanks to a new style Hiashi travelled abroad to learn so he could teach it to his grandchildren, but that's a story for another time.
As Hiashi trained with Boruto , a young Hyuuga maybe about 7 observed them while he was training with an adult Main family member. He sported brown short hair which he kept parted to one side.
" Kinjo." Said the Main branch member. " Focus on me, nobody else."
Later, A Main house member performed the 8 Trigrams 32 palms of divinity on a striking post.
" Who would like to attempt this technique?" A Main branch member said to the Hyuuga students with Boruto standing alongside them.
All were hesitant.
" Me!" Boruto yelled as he raised his hand, which prompted snickers from the other children.
" Boruto…" Hiashi said walking up to him. " This might not be right for you. You have to be able to see your opponents' Tenketsu for it ti work
Boruto groaned. " Come on Jii-san, let me try!"
Hiashi was hesitant at first. " Ok, now this is a very complicated technique so don't worry if you don't get it the first time."
" All right! Here it goes!" Boruto got into stance. " 8 Trigrams 32 palms!" Boruto struck the post. " 2 palms!" He went back for another round " 4 palms!" He went for another round, " 8 palms! Gah!" Boruto yelled in pain.
"Boruto are you ok?" Hiashi quickly aided his grandson, he saw that one of his fingers was broken.
The Hyuuga children cracked up laughing. Boruto glanced at them angrily in embarrassment.
" Enough of that!" A Main branch member said. " This is a complex move to do and that is a common injury that happens."
" Sir…." Kinjo said raising his hand, " I'd like to go next."
" Very well Kinjo."
He walked up to the post as Hiashi and Boruto backed away.
" 8 Trigrams…" Kinjo started as he activated his Byakugan. He glanced at Boruto and smirked. " 32 Plams!"
" 2 Palms!" He said striking the post.
" 4 Palms!"
"8 Palms!"
" 16 Palms!"
It was then Kinjo stopped.
The Hyuuga children looked on in amazement
" I'm sorry, thats as far as I can get right now."
" Not bad Kinjo, not bad at all." Said the Main branch member.
" gh! show off…." Boruto muttered.
Hiashi looked at Boruto sympathetically. " Boruto…."
Later, Boruto was seen leaving the dojo, his training bag in his hand, his other hand bandaged from his earlier injury. " See ya later Jii-san."
He saw Kinjo sitting on the steps.
" Hmph" Boruto walked by down the steps and onto the courtyard.
" You don't belong here…." Kinjo said.
Boruto turned his head back. " Come again?"
" You heard me." Kinjo stood up.
" The only reason they tolerate you here is because you are Hiashi-sama's grandson. Otherwise you would be laughed out of here."
Boruto looked at Kinjo with a little anger in his eyes.
" You even wear that jacket that displays our clan's symbol, yet you don't even have the Byakugan, aren't you just a little ashamed?"
" kssh! Like I care what you think." Boruto said.
" I don't get it, you can be anything as a ninja. Why go into a form where you have such a clear as day disadvantage?"
" I don't have to explain myself to you. And for your information, my grandfather gave me this patch on my jacket." Boruto said.
" If you had any respect for your grandfather or this clan you would stop trying to be like us. Because no matter how hard you train, no matter how flawless your form becomes, the fact is you will never be one of us."
Boruto was silent. He simply turned and walked away.
Later, Hanabi was seen walking alongside Himawari and Hinata in town. They were headed to Yamanaka flower shop to pick up some flowers for Neji's grave.
A Hyuuga was seen shopping and saw Hanabi alongside her niece. He decided he would come say hello.
That was when he saw Hanabi stop and cradle her midsection, Hinata immediately came to aid her.
" Are you alright?" Hinata asked.
" Hanabi baa-chan are you ok?" Himawari pleaded.
" I'm fine honey." Hanabi ensured.
The Hyuuga stopped, he wondered what made her react that way. Upon activating his Byakugan, he discovered why.
Later…..
Hiashi was approached by a Hyuuga maid.
" Hiashi-sama. The council wishes to see you."
" Wonderful…" Hiashi said with some sarcasm."
Hiashi slid open a door and saw the council waiting for him.
" I was busy, I hope we can make this quick."
" Hiashi, when were you planning to tell us Hanabi was pregnant."
Hiashi was shocked.
" With twins no less." The elder said.
" Elder, I don't know…"
" Hiashi, last month you are offered a position on this council and you betray our trust?"
" This would make sense as to why Hanabi has not been here lately. She's been staying with her sister if I'm not mistaken."
Hiashi was silent.
" Tell Hanabi her presence is requested here. We want to talk to her."

Later that night, Hanabi sat before the council. Hiashi was in the back with Naruto, Boruto and Himawari, Hinata had to use the rest room.
" Hanabi, when were you planning to tell us?" The Elder said.
" Hey Elder? Sorry but my wife kind of asked if you could wait 'til she got back before grilling Hanabi." Naruto said.
Meanwhile, Himawari climbed on her grandfather who proceeded to tickle her. Boruto not wanting to be left out joined in on the fun.
As the Elder was trying to speak he found Himawari's laughter overshadowing his voice.
" As I was saying…." The Elder tried to continue.
" I'm gonna get you…" Hiashi laughed as he tickled Himawari. Boruto climbed on his grandfather's back.
Boruto laughed as he wrapped his arms around Hiashi trying to wrestle him.
" Hiashi! Do you mind?"
" Not at all, you're not bothering me." Hiashi quipped.
"That's not what (sigh) any way Uzumaki-san, I don't know what you're doing here. This is a Hyuuga matter."
" Wrong, I got some nephews or nieces coming and that makes it my business." Naruto said.
" Nailed it Tou-chan!" Boruto declared.
Naruto gave Boruto a thumbs up.
" Uzumaki-san, if your children possessed our Kekki-Genkai and had a chance of succeeding our clan, perhaps we would consider your opinion but seeing how it is that is not the case…"
" Wow, hey at least you waited a whole 5 minutes before bringing that up for the millionth time." Naruto said. " And like I said the million times before that, so what?"
" Which also begs the question, what are they doing here? This is not a day care center?"
" Hey we aint babies!" Boruto yelled.
" Will you keep it down!" The elder said.
" You're mean!" Himawari said to the elder in huff.
" Hiashi! Will you keep you God Damn grandchildren under control!" The Elder yelled.
Suddenly a slam was heard from downstairs.
" WHO'S CURSING AT MY KIDS!?" Hinata yelled, which shook the house.
" Oh God…" Naruto said. He quickly turned to his father-in-law " Hiashi!"
" Already on it, come on kids…" Hiashi said in a haste, at this point he didn't want to be within 200 feet of the Elder. " Elder, nice knowing you."
Hanabi was quick to get up as well, she has seen this before and knew what was coming.
The council was shaken by the bark. But what Truly shook them was what happened next. The door to the room flew open and a dark radiating figure appeared in the doorway, her eyes glowing purple and her hair wild and flailing. This was Hinata Uzumaki in a rare form usually when it came to her family, her kids in particular.
The head Elder was particularly startled as a few beads of sweat came down the side of his face. he tried to regain control of the situation. " h-Hinata we are conducting business so I sugg-"
" You Suggest What!?" Hinata said.
The Elder was at a loss for words.
" I Do Not Like Foul Language! Especially Around My Kids! Much Less At Them!"
" Honey…" Naruto interjected.
Hinata looked back at him.
" Just wanna mention, he also brought up the whole no Byakugan thing again." Naruto said as sweetly as he could.
" Oh! Here We Go Again! My Kids Are Great Elder! Byakugan Or No! If You Have Something To Say About My Kids, Say It To Me!"
" I….I…I" The Elder was trying to string a sentence together. The Council shook at the sight of this mother of Uzumaki.
" Ka-chan I think you scared the jerk out of him Datte-bassa!." Boruto joked.
Hinata turned and clapped her hands together. " Were you 2 making noise while they were trying to talk?" Hinata said firmly.
" …hai…" Boruto and Himawari said in unison.
" What have I said about that?"
" Don't do it…." They said in unison.
Hinata pointed to a part of the wall. " Come over here and sit."
Nearly everyone in the room got up to follow Hinata's order, even some of the elders.
" Not you! The Kids!"
Boruto and Himawari ran over to the wall and sat. Hinata and Hanabi came to the same area and sat together. Hiashi and Naruto joined them.
The Elder took a deep breath to regain his composure. " Hanabi, I don't see why you kept this from us."
Hanabi took a deep breath. " I don't want the seal placed on one of my children."
" Hanabi, I know it's difficult, your grandfather also had a hard time accepting this with your father and uncle. But Hanabi, it is this seal that has allowed our clan to survive for as long as it has. We cannot simply choose who is to be sealed and who is not solely based on sentiment."
" But…." Hanabi's eyes dimmed. " What good has this seal really done? It has caused complete bitter resentment with in the Hyuuga."
" Hanabi, we have to maintain a level of control, otherwise we would be attacked and over run. Down the road we simply must place the seal on the second-born."
" You're not putting that on my cousin!" Boruto yelled.
Hinata looked at Boruto, her face showing she expects him to quiet down. Boruto saw this expression on her face. He crossed his arms and looked down to the side with a scowl.
" Please Elder, there must be another way." Hanabi pleaded.
" I'm sorry, but there is not."
" Neji nii-san…." Hinata began. " Lived half his short life in hatred because of this seal…..he came to resent the Main branch, you saw this, yet you continue to do it no matter whose lives you destroy. You say it's to maintain order, but let's be honest….you do it this because you fear the branch families might rival or surpass you.
" Hinata that is ridiculous, we fear the cadet branches may attack us yes. But it's absurd to think they could surpass us. Neji was a different story."
"All deserve a right to choose their own destiny when brought into this world. Not have it forced on them." Hinata said.
" Hinata, the issue is closed."
" Like hell it is!" Naruto yelled.
" The issue is not closed Elder." Hiashi said.
" Hanabi, understand something. It is a heavy burden to be head of the Hyuuga, every head in past generations has had to make sacrifices, I'm sorry that you had to make this one." The Elder got up.
" We are not done here." Hinata said.
" Hinata, you were originally supposed to be the head of this clan. I tried to help you reclaim that right, but you refused. You are partially responsible for Hanabi's burden." The Elders took their leave.
Hinata was in a state of surprise.
" Hey ! What did you say to my wife!?" Naruto stood up.
" Naruto-kun, let it go." Hinata said.
Later….
Hinata was walking with her family.
" Hinata…." Hiashi said. " The Elder had no right saying that."
" I….I understand." Hinata said.
Himawari seeing her mother upset grabbed her hand.
The Next Day…..
The elders were sitting on the porch of the courtyard.
" Well that escalated rather quickly."
" Yes I thought you were going to cry when Hinata yelled at you." One of the elders teased.
The head Elder crossed his arms and closed his eyes in annoyance." I didn't see you standing up to her last night."
" This isn't the end is it?"
" No, it isn't…..curse those Uzumakis. I'm growing tired of them constantly sticking their noses into our affairs. It's bad enough they have their loser son hanging around here all the time trying to play Hyuuga."
" Well you have to admit. He's come quite far despite not having the Byakugan."
" Spare me….." The Elder said as he watched Kinjo practicing with a Main branch member.
" He can train all he wants, but the second he faces a Byakugan user he would fall . Spirit only gets you so far. Yet Hiashi continues to train him. Making him think he could actually be one of us."
" It can't be helped I'm afraid. Hiashi won't budge on it."
The Elder continued watching Kinjo.
" Kinjo now…..he's quite amazing. A true beacon of a promising Hyuuga future."
The Elder watched Kinjo for a while. He turned to the other Elders " I might have an idea."
Boruto and Hiashi were sparring in the dojo when the door slid open.
" Hiashi. I thought i might find you here. Am i interrupting?"
" Boruto and I were just sparring."
" I beat 'Jii-san like 4 rounds already."
" Hm, well maybe I should stop letting you win." Hiashi smiled.
" You stopped letting me win after 2 rounds." Boruto quipped.
" n-Nani?" Hiashi laughed.
" Hiashi, I would like a moment of your time." the Elder said.
" Hm, Boruto I think now is a good time to call it a day." Hiashi said.
" Ok 'Jii-san!" Boruto ran over to pack his stuff.
As Boruto packed his things he saw the Elder and Hiashi conversing.
" Are you out of your mind!?" Hiashi said a few moments later.
Boruto stood there, not sure what was going on.
" Naruto already knows that the Uzumaki created the cage bird seal, he will find a way to undo it! We don't need this ridiculous proposal!" Hiashi said.
"But who knows how long that will take." The Elder retorted.
" 'Jii-san?" Boruto said as he walked up beside him. " What's going on?"
" Nothing Boruto, let's go I'm taking you home."
" Discuss it with the boy's parents. He wants to be a Hyuuga so bad, let him act like one." The Elder said as Hiashi and Boruto left.
" 'Jii-san, what's he talking about?"
" Nothing Boruto."
Later...
" He what?" Hinata said. " Boruto is only 6!"
" The boy they want him to fight is only 7."
" Absolutely not." Hinata said.
Boruto was upstairs listening in.
" Go back and tell the Elder if he would like a match between myself and him, I'll gladly accept."
" You know he won't adhere to that."
" So if Boruto were to fight this kid, and win, they would agree not to seal either twin?"
" Naruto-kun why are you even entertaining this?" Hinata asked.
"Hiashi…." Naruto began. " This kid the elders picked. Is he good?"
" Naruto, I won't lie. He's the best in his generation amongst the Hyuuga."
" Can Boruto beat him?" Naruto asked.
Hiashi was silent for a moment. " Boruto has surpassed the expectations of everyone who doubted his ability in our style, he does not have the Byakugan, but that never stopped him from trying. But Kinjo Hyuuga is also very skilled, the Byakugan I'm sad to say does work in his favor, I don't know if Boruto can defeat him."
Boruto's eyes widened when he heard his grandfather's words. His eyes gleamed as though he were about to cry as a scowl came across his face. his fist tightened.
" The answer is no." Hinata said.
Boruto sneered, he walked into his room looking out the window. He let out an angry sigh.
(((Flashback)))
4 year old Boruto is learning palm strikes with his grandfather while wearing Hyuuga training attire. He looks around to see other Hyuuga children around his own age training. He sees Byakugan eyes around him everywhere. Some of the other children shoot him smirks of superiority.
Later Boruto sees some of them sitting on the porch in the courtyard eating lunch. He quickly runs over and sits next to them.
" Hi!" Boruto says as enthusiastic as always, he did take primarily after his father after all.
The Hyuuga children look at him with complete indifference. Not even offering a courteous hello back. Boruto just simply ate his rice paddy beside them. One of the Hyuuga children let out an annoyed sigh. The Hyuuga then walked off the porch to train some more, leaving Boruto behind.
Later, Boruto walked through the hallways of the Hyuuga house hold trying to find his grandfather.
As he did, he passed along many members of the Hyuuga house hold.
" Hey do you know where 'Jii-san is?" Boruto asked a Hyuuga.
The Hyuuga shot him an irritated look and continued walking.
Boruto didn't understand why.
(((End Flashback)))
Later, Boruto was eating dinner with his family. Hiashi and Hanabi were over as well. Hinata looked over and saw the look on her son's face as he looked down at the table. Her son had been quite uncharacteristically quiet all day today.
" Honey?" Hinata asked. " Are you ok?"
Hiashi who was sitting next to Boruto looked at him with concern.
Boruto's fist tightened. " 'Jii-san…." he said as he looked Hiashi dead in the eye." When you go back tonight….tell them I accept."

Naruto Characters are property of Masashi Kishimoto. Many people speculate how Boruto and Himawari could follow in their father's footprints. For a while I felt that also. but then i realized, it was right in my face the entire time of how they can deal with personal struggles. This short story is one such tale, It takes place between ending of Naruto the last movie and chapter 700.
00000000000000000000000000
Naruto stood atop his household with his back against a wall and his arms crossed looking at his son. Boruto sat across from him staring at the ground.
" What is this about?" Naruto asked.
" Nothing, I just wanna do this ok?" Boruto said. " Why ya making such a big deal about this?"
" Boruto! You could get hurt!" Naruto said.
" I know Juu-ken to!" Boruto said.
" And you're really good at it. But this kid has the Byakugan, and when it comes to Juu-ken, that's a big advantage."
" I know where all the organs are. I know if I hit that area it will get hurt. I don't need x-ray vision for that."
" Son, you know fully that the Byakugan is nowhere near that simple."
" Point is, I don't need it to fight." Boruto said.
" Boruto, what is this really about?"
" I also wanna make sure none of Hanabi baa-chan's babies gets sealed."
" Boruto, I can figure out a way to destroy that seal. I have to just find out which ancestor created it and see where it goes from there."
" Tou-chan that might take forever, and you may not find it."
" Do you understand that this kid is not gonna go easy on you? He's fighting to win."
" So am I!" Boruto yelled.
Naruto sighed.
" I just have to do this Tou-chan."
" Why do you think you have to do this?"
" Because they said I don't belong there!" Boruto yelled.
Naruto was shocked.
" The whole reason I even started Juu-ken was because someone told me I'd never be able to do it. But no matter how good I get all anyone talks about is how I don't have the Byakugan. That's all they ever talk about. I'm gonna show them that I don't need to Byakugan to be a great fighter. I'm gonna show them that I do belong there."
" Boruto…." Naruto began.
" Tou-chan, I don't just want to prove it to them….." Boruto said.
Naruto looked at his son. The day Boruto was born, Naruto swore that things would be different for his son than they were for him. But now after only 6 years here was his son, struggling for acceptance. Even willing to go this far to gain it. Naruto's eyes dimmed as he looked at his son sympathetically.
Later….
Naruto walked into the room where Hinata, Hanabi and Hiashi were waiting for him.
Naruto came and sat down. He looked downward. " Let's let him do this." He said.
The 3 Hyuuga were shocked.
" I thought you were going to talk him out of it." Hinata said.
Naruto breathed deeply. " Boruto has something to prove. I can't deny him this."
" Naruto, this is not like a Chuunin exam match. In Hyuuga matches genjutsu, ninjutsu and weapons are prohibited. It is strictly hand to hand combat." Hiashi said.
" He knows that." Naruto said.
" Naruto-kun, he could get hurt." Hinata said.
" He knows that to." Naruto said.
" Naruto-kun , we can't let him do this. He has nothing to prove. Shame on the council for even thinking about this match." Hinata said.
" To put the freedom of his cousin on the shoulders of a 6 year old boy, Naruto that's just too much to put on him. He does not need to do this for me. We can find a different way." Hanabi said.
" You all didn't see the look in his eyes." Naruto said. He looked to Hinata. " He had the eyes you and I once had."
Hinata was shocked.
" Growing up….being left out or outcasted. I swore that when I had children they would never feel this…but here it is." Naruto said. " Hiashi…you have been training Boruto for almost 2 years now. Do you feel Boruto may have a shot at winning?"
" (sigh) he's too damn stubborn to admit defeat. Takes after his father." Hiashi said.
Naruto looked to Hinata. " Honey, Boruto wants this. We have to face facts that he's not a baby anymore. He's trying to make his way in this world now."
Hinata crossed her arms and looked to her side. Her eyes quivered. She would never admit that, she couldn't face the idea of Boruto facing a Hyuuga in battle, no matter what age.
" He wants to prove something to himself."
" And what if he loses?" Hinata asked.
" If he loses, he loses. That's not the end of the world for him. He'll learn from a failure, that's never a bad thing." Naruto said. " We'll be there to help get him through it."
Hinata clearly showed she was getting emotional as she slowly nodded her head.
" Hinata, if you don't want to let him, we won't. But Boruto is going to have to grow up some time."
Hinata said. " You want me to just say ok son go fight a Hyuuga who might seriously hurt you? I'm his mother…."
That was when they saw Boruto standing in the doorway.
" Honey…" Hinata said.
Boruto walked up to his mother. " Ka-chan…let me do this."
Hinata's eyes quivered. She put her hands on her son's shoulders " …..ok…." she said.
Boruto put his hand atop his mother's as he smiled at her.
" Jii-san, how long do I have?" Boruto asked.
" 2 weeks." Hiashi said.
" Let's train now." Boruto said.
" Hai." Hiashi said.
Moments later Boruto and Hiashi are seen in the back patio training.
Later...
Hinata sat up in bed as Naruto sat beside her. She lowered her eyes, thinking very hard about the path Boruto is taking. As his mother she knew what she had to do next.
The next morning, Hiashi was training Boruto hard. Sweat dripped off the young Uzumaki's face as he was being pushed to a new level in his training. That was when the dojo door slid open.
Hiashi and Boruto looked to the side to see that Hinata had arrived, donning Hyuuga training gear.
" Ka-chan." Boruto said.
" I will be helping you train. If that's ok with you Oto-sama." Hinata said.
" Of course." Hiashi said.
" Hinata-sama." Hinata looked over to see Ko sitting to the side. The years passed didn't seem to take too harsh a toll on him. His hair however was much shorter. " Good afternoon."
" Konichiwa Ko." Hinata said
" I am just going to observe you for now . " Hinata said to her father.
Hiashi nodded.
Hinata went and sat next to Ko. They then watched Boruto train with Hiashi.
" Hinata-sama, I have never seen anyone who trains quite as hard as your son. You must be very proud." Ko said.
" More than you realize Ko." Hinata said.
" Boruto is so determined." Ko added.
Hinata continued watching. Suddenly she began picking up the weaknesses in Boruto's technique after 5 minutes.
" Oto-sama." Hinata said. " I would like to switch with you."
" Very well. I could use a break anyway." Hiashi said.
Hinata walked onto the floor facing Boruto to whom this was a little awkward since he had not really trained with his mother before. Hinata took up her stance and Boruto took up his.
10 minutes later….
Sweat was dripping off Boruto's face profusely. He took a knee as he looked up at his mother, breathing heavily. Hinata's arms were covered with scuff marks. She looked at her son, this had been the first time she had actually pushed him to such a limit in training.
Hinata's eyes quivered looking at her son. As a mother it was only instinct to want to protect your child. But her child insisted on facing the challenges of the world. So her next option was that if she could not shelter him from the world, she could prepare him for it.
Hinata's eyes became firm once more." Stand up Boruto." Hinata said.
Boruto looked up at his mother. A smile came across his face. He stood up.
" Ok….now that we got a few practice rounds out of the way, how about we train for real?" Boruto declared.
Hinata nodded. " Of course."
Ko and Hiashi smiled.
Later….
Hinata was walking home with her son. " We'll have to do it like this every training session Boruto."
" What are you talking about? This was light for me. We gotta get more serious." Boruto said, putting up his tough facade.
Hinata smiled. " You really are your father's son." she thought.
Suddenly she saw Boruto sitting on a park bench. He was fast asleep. Hinata smiled as she shook her head. She hoisted her son up on her back and carried him home.
The Next Day…...
Boruto was walking home from the Hyuuga compound. His training bag in tow. He kept his other hand in his pocket. He looked out across the streets of Konohagakure. As he walked by, there were 3 Hyuuga children eating at a dango shop.
One saw Boruto and notified the other 2. They followed him. As they walked away, ChouChou Akimichi was also enjoying a dango that day. She saw the 3 boys follow after Uzumaki. she in turn followed after them.
She almost lost track until she heard. " You're really gonna fight Kinjo? Baka! Stupid Baka! Who do you think you're fooling?
ChouChou walked up and peaked through a hole in the fence. She saw the 3 Hyuuga boys confronting Boruto.
" You don't even deserve to train with us, and you think you can take down our top guy? Baka!" One of the Hyuuga boys said.
" So is that your word for me today?" Boruto said annoyed.
" That's our word for you everyday!"
ChouChou was getting nervous. She was afraid a 3 on one fight was going to break out.
" Look whatever, I got stuff to do. So if you're done wasting my time…." Boruto walked past the Hyuuga boys.
" If this Baka continues to keep training with us, soon his Baka sister will want to try to." One of the Hyuugas said.
Boruto stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around staring at the hyuuga like the grim reaper.
" I dare you to say that again…." Boruto said, losing control of himself. He dropped his bag.
" You think we're afraid of you?" All 3 Hyuugas activated their Byakugan.
Boruto got into stance.
One of the Hyuuga jumped in with a kick but Boruto quickly parried it. A palm strike, the Hyuuga boy was caught by surprise and had no defense for the attack coming at such a speed. Boruto however, stopped his strike at the last second when he remembered one of the conditions of the match.
(((Flashback)))
"One of the conditions is, you will not attack Kinjo, or any Hyuuga for that matter until the day of the match. If you break this condition, the deal is off." The Hyuuga Elder said.
Boruto retracted his hand. He looked the Hyuuga square in the eye. " Never talk about my sister again." Boruto picked up his bag leaving the Hyuuga boy frightened and relieved that he did not catch a palm strike to the face. The other 2 Hyuuga boys after seeing their friend almost get pummeled were in no mood to attack Uzumaki.
" Man, Boruto's fast…" ChouChou said.
" pretty fast…" Kinjo said.
ChouChou was stunned to see Kinjo was observing the entire incident with his Byakugan through the fence.
Kinjo walked away, his hands in his pockets. " Boruto Uzumaki, come that day I will break you."

For a while I felt that also. but then i realized, it was right in my face the entire time of how they can deal with personal struggles. This short story is one such tale, It takes place between ending of Naruto the last movie and chapter 700.
00000000000000000000000000
Boruto stood at a striking post in the genin training grounds. His focus unwavering.
" I saw you there other day..." said a voice from behind him.
" Boruto turned to see Kinjo Hyuuga standing there. " ...With those 3 clansmen."
Boruto shot him a glare then went back to striking the post. " What about it? They attacked me first, i didn't even hit them."
Kinjo walked to the side of the post Boruto was striking. " You are so selfish."
Boruto stopped immediately and looked at Kinjo. " What the hell are you talking about? You trying to start a fight!? Can't you wait a week?"
" I'll explain." Kinjo said. " When Hanabi-sama's children are born, they're going to have the Byakugan."
" No kidding!" Boruto said.
" And since their father died on a mission, it's going to fall on Hiashi-sama to train with them."
" So you're saying I don't wanna share Jii-san with my cousins? That's crap! I share him with my sister all the time!" Boruto argued.
" You're missing the point." Kinjo said.
Boruto looked at him his eyes wincing.
" When Hiashi-sama starts training with them, they're going to start performing techniques that you need the Byakugan for." Kinjo said.
" I am sick and tired of hearing about..." Boruto began.
" Can you do the Heavenly Whirl without the Byakugan?" Kinjo said.
Boruto was caught off guard, he had no response.
" What about The 64 palms of divinity?" Kinjo said.
Boruto stood there.
" you can estimate where a person's vital organs are. But striking the Tenketsu requires absolute precision. Without the Byakugan, it's useless."
Boruto said nothing, he stood there having taken in all of Kinjo's statement.
" He's going to have the opportunity to have real grandchildren, and you're taking that away from him." Kinjo said.
" How am I..."
" Hiashi-sama will want to teach them techniques, techniques you won't be able to do. But he probably won't because he won't want to make you feel bad."
Kinjo walked away. " Thanks a lot for holding back our clan...selfish..."
Boruto stood there, he brought his hands up to the post as he looked down. He had never once thought of that.
Later...
Boruto is seen sparring with Hiashi. Hiashi knew something was wrong.
" Your chakra's all over the place." Hiashi said.
Boruto didn't respond. He threw a leg kick to which Hiashi dodged and backed away.
" What's troubling you?" Hiashi asked.
" Nothing, let's keep going." Boruto said.
" We are not moving another step until you tell me what is wrong." Hiashi said.
" Fine! Then I'm going home!" Boruto walked over to get his training bag.
He turned around to see Hiashi stand before him.
" Boruto, why will you not talk to me?" Hiashi asked.
" Just..." Boruto was getting emotional.
" Just what? Talk to me." Hiashi said.
" Just maybe everyone's right ok!?" Boruto yelled.
Hiashi was shocked. " Right? About what?"
" Maybe I don't belong here!" He said.
Hiashi looked at his grandson in disbelief. " Boruto, what happened? Who has been talking to you? Tell me who told you this!"
" Nobody!" Boruto said. " When my cousins are born, they're gonna have the Byakugan. And you're gonna want to train them."
" And you think I'll forget about you."
" No! That's the point!" Boruto yelled.
Hiashi was shocked.
" You're gonna limit your training with them, just so I won't feel left out!" Boruto looked to the side scowling. " ...I don't wanna slow you down." he muttered.
Hiashi was dumbfounded by this.
Boruto angled his eyes at his grandfather then back to the side. "(sigh) I know you love me. And I love being here with you. But I want you to make my cousins as strong as you possibly can. I...would just be a burden."
Hiashi was speechless.
" No matter how strong I get, no matter how many jutsu I learn, I don't have the Byakugan and without that I can't learn the best techniques you can teach."
" Boruto I..." Hiashi tried to bring a sentence together.
Boruto faced his grandfather. " Happy? Can I go now?" Boruto then walked around his grandfather out of the dojo. " Next week I'm gonna drop this clown and make sure my cousins don't get sealed. After that, focus on them when they're born so they can become strong."
Hiashi turned and watched his grandson go out the door, still distraught by what he said.
Later...
Hiashi was sitting on the porch as the sun began setting.
(((Flashback)))
Hiashi waits in the waiting room of Konohagakure hospital along with Hanabi, Natsu and Ko, Naruto walked out, a smile on his face bigger than the moon.
" It's a boy!" He said.
" Congratulations!" Hiashi placed his hands on Naruto's shoulders.
" Now...he doesn't have the Byakugan."
" Hiashi didn't expect that comment. He was surprised for a second. The smile came back on his face. " That's fine, can we see him?"
" Sure!" Naruto smiled.
Later, The Hyuugas observe alongside Naruto through the glass his son.
" Which one is he?" Hanabi asked eagerly awaiting to see her new nephew.
Her question was answered right away by the sounds of powerful cries coming from the baby in the far left. Seeing 2 whisker marks on each side of his face , the tiny strands of blonde hair and the strong spirit it was no doubt whose son it was.
" Naruto, he looks just like you!" Hiashi stated proudly.
Naruto smiled with joy.
Hiashi smiled as he gazed upon his grandson. Words could not express the pride he felt.
4 Years Later...
4 year Old Boruto Uzumaki ran down the hall of the Hyuuga compound. He looked through the opening of a door to see Hyuugas practicing Juu-ken.
" Wow..." Boruto said.
" What do you think you're doing?" An older Hyuuga boy said from behind him.
Boruto turned around. " I was just watching..."
" It's not for you to watch, it's not like you can do it." The Hyuuga said.
" I can to!" Boruto yelled back.
" You don't have the Byakugan. You'll never be able to do it." He said.
It was at this point all the Hyuuga who were practicing stopped as they heard the commotion going on.
" Boruto..." Hiashi said walking up from the hallway. " There you are, you shouldn't run off like that." He looked to the Hyuuga boy standing by him.
" Can I help you young man?" Hiashi stated.
" I caught him spying on our Kata Hiashi-sama." The boy said respectfully.
" I wasn't spying!" Boruto said.
" You can't do it. It's pointless to watch." said the boy.
" Yes I can!" Boruto yelled.
Hiashi was stunned.
" You may leave now..." Hiashi said to the boy. " I will talk to my grandson."
The Hyuuga boy took his leave.
Hiashi saw the Hyuuga in the dojo staring at Boruto, some quite venomously. " Don't you all have training to do?" Hiashi said.
The Hyuuga continued their training. Hiashi smiled at his grandson and extended his hand. Boruto took it and walked alongside his grandfather.
" Boruto, do you like what you saw in there?"
Boruto took a deep breath and shook his head yes.
" You know... all the people in there using that form. They have the Byakugan, which means they can see all the parts inside the body. Do you know what I mean by that?'
Boruto pointed to parts on his body. " Heart, liver , kidneys, stomach..."

pls tell me if you have naruto tumblr blog headcanons and i know for sure sasuke would be that bitch who would get a call out post every 3 months or so but naruto would always come to defend sasuke while sasuke literally does not care and also not tumblr related in a way but in a modern au team 10 needs to wear crazy earrings like ino one day would wear pretty floral earrings but the next day wear actual matchboxes as earrings
i love this ask sm this is such a fun little niche..... i talked abt this ask w my friend we agreed:
sakura would be like im an empath thats why im healer ❤️ and then bully her anons. she would send sasuke anon hate and defend him in his notes and then send naruto hate off anon.
neji would be inactive and come back once in a blue moon to start drama. then leave again. u know hes lurking and he cant help himself when he sees some dumb shit by someone he hates (most users) on the dash but so u never know when hes gonna break his silence and strike...
konohamaru runs a naruto stan blog
naruto made a bunch of callouts for sasuke when he was like 12 and then when hes like 15 he starts vagueposting about how much he misses “him” and then age 17 he rescinds all previous callouts about sasuke because “he’s my boyfriend now(long story)”
gai is warriormale. kakashi is just legitimately kakashi-vibes.
gaara posts aesthetic stuff of deserts/raccoons that get periodically broken up by his vents and how he kinda misses just killing everyone indiscriminately when mad/sad
feel free to add more if you have any!

How do you manage to be so positive on social media? Tumblr and twitter especially have a lot of negative and toxic people with big followings that surely occasionally cross your dash; do you have any tips on maintaining emotional wellness and a clear head?
That's my secret anon,
Tumblr media
I am not well.
haha, kidding, here are some tips:
1. Take breaks: Unfortunately, my mom WAS right. The internet will rot your brain and you should not spend all day online. Neopets and Naruto AMVs really were a slippery slope smh.
I've recently started putting daily timers on my social media so I am forced to take breaks and be away. Before the pandemic there were more natural breaks where I'd go do other things. The most useful and consistent thing I've done is leave my phone at home when I go for long runs. Even an hour or two away with no notifications really does feel freeing. Touch grass, get lost, stare at the sun 👍 a real + actual solutions.
2. Perspective: Some things matter, but let's be honest, not EVERYTHING matters. And frankly, if you tried to care about everything you'd pretty much end up doing nothing. There's too much of it. For both real life and online I try to prioritize the things that really matter to me personally. While I stand in solidarity with other issues, I don't necessarily stick my nose in them.
Tbh I also suffer from a terminal case of nihilism, like things matter, but none of it actually matters, ya know? I do care, I do, but I don't really understand how some of you care so much. The universe is large and meaningless and unknowable and I could care less about celebrities gender presentation.
3. Stay in your lane: Not to brag or anything, but I grew up with an angry man in my house. One of the big things you learn to do when you're navigating a home life with someone poised to explode all the time is that you take a step way the fuck back.
One of the big phrases I weaponized was the "that's a you problem," and later on the more sophisticated "your emotions are your own responsibility." If people want to be angry or upset or cruel on their posts then that's a them problem.
And if they get angry at me (for small things)? Their emotions are their own responsibility. I try to take responsibility for myself, my feelings, and my mistakes so I hope others do the same in return. And I keep on trucking.

Trouvaille
Chapter 2: The fantasia in her mind
Hinata woke with a start, forehead drenched in sweat, chest pounding a mile a minute and the grogginess of her slumber still weighing on her.
The alarm clock on her desk flashed a bright red 7:52, reminding her that it was only less than ten minutes before Hanabi would call her.
“Shit.” She jumped from her bed, fighting off the heaviness of sleep and dashed to her vanity in order to freshen up.
Make-up, dried shampoo, a good blush here and there and she was off.
Oh, and don’t forget the granola bar.
Speeding her way towards the elevator, She texted a short apology to her sister, explaining that she might be a tad bit late to her Dress Fitting.
Hina: Hanabi hey, so um i maybe kinda woke up late. Plssss don’t get mad at me :3
Hana: u klutz, be grateful the shop hasn’t opened up yet. You better drag your ass over here. NOW
Hina: I’m sorry :<
Hana: yeah whatever, just make sure you don’t get stuck in traffic. Run a red light or smthn. Just DONT BE LATE!!
Hina: Anything for you my beloved sister. I think I’ll take a taxi.
I’m omw. I love you <3
Hana: k
Hinata giggled at her reply, she was no foreigner to her sister’s coldness in chat. She knew Hanabi loved her, she knew she wasn’t all that upset, and she also knew that if this damned elevator door didn’t open any minute soon, Hanabi just might find herself a different Maid Of Honor.
The elevator opened with a ding and Hinata had never been happier.
As she stood alone inside the confines of the metallic walls, her thoughts couldn’t help but linger back to her weird dream.
No, what she saw back there…
That wasn’t a dream .
At least, it didn’t feel like it.
They seemed so vivid, so real.
Too real to shrug it off as something unsubstantial. They seemed like visions, apparitions, a film that’s been played in her head on and on and on.
A film she knew all too well.
A blonde man, a palace, her duties, her uniform, their secret affair, their love.
A love like theirs seemed all too monumental to be passed off as some figment of her imagination . To be perceived as nothing but dreams.
No, they weren’t dreams.
They were something else.
Memories.
***
The fountain waters flickered under the night, the moon’s pearlescent glow reflecting off of her eyes like stardust.  Her eyes were the cosmos in and of itself.
They were seated in his balcony, hiding from the world, instead, basking in their own whimsical fantasy.
Naruto pecked a soft kiss to her neck, feeling the shiver of her skin underneath his lips.
He smiled at the thought. “You act as if this is still your first time. Why do you act so coy when you’re around me?”
Hinata blushed, still not quite accustomed to his flirtatious remarks. “W-When I’m with you, I find it d-difficult to control these mannerisms. It’s as if I’m… bewitched by you.”
“ Bewitched by me ?” He said, smirking. “Well, you’d be happy to know I’m just as bewitched by you, as you are with me. More, even.”
“M-More? What do you–”
Naruto gently pressed his lips against hers, the tip of his tongue teasing its plumpness and it’s as if he’s drowning in euphoria, just as he was moments prior.
How one person could taste this addictive, he’d never know.
He was obsessed, haunted with thoughts of her. Her lips akin to a phantom’s touch, her delectable taste lingering on his mouth, taunting him nightly, as if she were a scratch aching to be itched.
He was smitten.
Absolutely smitten.
He continued ravishing her, suckling lightly on the bottom curve of her lips, she sighed into his mouth and upon the sound of her breathy moans, something feral unleashed.
Something possessive .
He kissed her harder, more passionate, more all-consuming, more. Cherry red and bruised from his onslaught of kisses, a newfound sensation washed over him. The deadliest of sins, the most carnal of desires.
Hunger.
Greed.
Lust.
With her, he felt invincible.
With her, he felt infinite.
He parted for air, a string of saliva connecting their lips.
“I love you.”
She laid her forehead atop his, smiling serenely. “I... I love you too, Naruto. So, so much.”
He couldn’t help his cheeky grin, even if he fought it. “I love it when you say my name.”
It had only been recently when she started addressing him as Naruto instead of his usual royal honorifics. But only inside the privacy of their intimacy, so as not to attract attention.
A blush overcame her. “S-Stop teasing me. You know how easily flustered I get.”
“Hinata, my love, that is exactly why I tease you. I love seeing you blush and stutter. You’re so cute, it makes my heart ache.”
She pouted.
“You’re incredibly unkind.”
“And you’re incredibly beautiful, that I cannot–” He lifted her up to the heavens, peppering kisses across her face. “Stop myself—” Kiss. “From being–” Kiss, “So wholly–” Kiss. “In love with you!!!”
He spun her around, his hands latched onto her waist. She giggled and smiled and glowed underneath the immortal light of the moon, and his heart skittered like a pebble in the sea as they twirled, danced and giggled away the night, chests overflowing with this euphoric, heady sensation. Drunken with happiness, drunken with love.
He was in love with her.
So, so in love with her.
With her, he was flying.
And he never wanted to land back down.
***
Her grin threatened to fall off of her cheeks from the genuinity of it. She was smiling. She was happy. Immensely happy that she fears she might die of this bliss consuming her entirely.
So, this is what falling in love felt like.
Being cocooned in sunlight.
Being doused in sunshine and lavender.
Her spirit frolicked in the meadow, his eyes, his smile, his touch a world she was oh so lost in.
Warm.
Invigorating.
Real.
Naruto, the Naruto Uzumaki, Prince of Uzushio, soon to be King of this barren land was…. in love with her.
He was in love with her!
She couldn’t help but squeal as she trotted down his staircase.
“Hyuga! What the hell are you doing out here so late?!”
She froze. Oh no.
Her head gazed behind her shoulder, her knees trembling. “Good e-evening Miss Anko. Lovely to s-see yo–”
“Dear heavens child, Speak up! You’re already lacking in looks, and yet you still cannot compensate for your slow mind!”
The anger evident in her voice, Anko took one step closer to berate her even more, only to notice the bright, red hickey standing out from her neck.
All color left Hinata right then and there.
“W-What?! Why do you have–! W-Who have you been whoring yourself off to?!! You are a servant to the royal family, not their courtesan!!”
Anko was furious at the sight of it. And Hinata was all too familiar with how circumstances like these ended with her.
She instinctively gripped her palm.
“Who in their right minds would even settle for rubbish like you?!?”
This is fine. She reminds herself. You’re used to this.
Gazing from her previous path, Anko’s eyes widened even more upon finally connecting the dots.
The spiraling stairwell. The only path to his chambers.
Hinata’s heart sank.
“H-Have you been…” Anko swallowed, disbelieving. “Have you been engaging in....in r-raunchy affairs with the prince?! How dare you?! You are mere garbage!! Nothing but cinder and soot covering up your face!”
Her heart was beating so loudly in her chest, she could hear the rhythm of it drumming in her ears.
“And you had the audacity to walk right up to his room and seduce him! Someone as ugly as you…. w-wenching with the prince?!”
“W-What? No! Naruto and I–”
“Naruto?!” Anko shrieked. “Have you no shame running your tongue so casually?! Address your prince as he is, you low level scum!”
Anko tugged her forcibly by the wrist, long nails digging into her skin. Hinata resisted and fought but the power she had over her was much too strong for her to overcome.
She clenched around her wrist even tighter. “I’ll let you remember exactly who you are, child. You need to remember your place in this world.”
“M-Miss Anko, p-please I promise I-I won’t–”
“Silence!” She demanded, her nails pushing too tightly into her wrist, a bruise was forming in and had Hinata to fight back the tears from falling.
“If you won’t get this inside that stubborn head of yours, then I’ll beat it into you."
She dragged her to the maid’s quarters, all the way to the back of the room with soot and ash scattered all over. Anko pushed her to the ground, forcing her to kneel upright with both her palms splayed open in front of her. In the furthest corner of their room, a leather whip hid behind the grimy walls.
A shiver ran down her spine.
No, not again.
She spat in front of her. “Do you think so highly of yourself now that you’ve involved yourself with the prince, hm?”
“We didn’t do anything!”
Thwack!
“You speak only when permitted to!”
White hot tears cascaded down her cheeks. Her chest burned. Her eyes seethed.
Her palms throbbed.
“I-I’m sorry. I’m so–”
Thwack!
“Be quiet!”
Crimson singed into her skin, grazed and bruised, her hands stained red.
She wanted to cry.
She wanted to scream.
“Apologize this instant! Admit that you are nothing but scum! That you have no place beside the prince!”
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I am rubble, I am trash! I d-deserve no place beside Na–”
Thwack!
“....T-The prince! I do not deserve a place beside the prince! F-For I am merely scum! Wretched scum!”
Her cries reverberated louder than the crack of the whip. The cynical glint in Anko’s eyes burned into her memory.
Naruto… please…
“Say it again! Say that you are scum! Rubble! Filth!”
Thwack!
“Say it or you will be given far worse punishment!!”
Naruto…
Thwack!
“Say it!”
Please...
"SAY IT!"
I need you…

"this isn't quite what I expected" Hinata and [whomever you think would be funniest.]
Arranged Marriage Starters
Hmmmmm okay fuck it we’re doing time-travel.
Warning for... very odd attitudes about ‘breeding’ from clan POV. Like... you know what I mean. (The weird fanon eugenics vibes of the Hyuuga do not gel with me, so I’m just going to treat them like purebred cats.)
Also this did NOT end up ‘whatever is funniest,’ holy smokes.
She is seventeen, unsealed, and... perfect.
She is not a perfect warrior, no. She is not even a perfect lady, or a perfect spy. No, the woman from the future is the perfection of a Main Line child unmarred by the inbreeding they are so careful to avoid but so liable to run into.
The examination of her eyes leaves the medic breathless. Her skin is clearer than they think possible--apparently the formation of a village will lead to better nutrition, better hygiene, better hospitals. Her hair is like silk.
She is as perfect as a doll.
“I am not a broodmare,” she says, when the whispers first start. “And I refuse to allow the barbarism of the Caged Bird Seal to continue.”
“Hold your tongue, girl!”
She lifts her head. She watches.
She is far too calm.
“I promised my cousin, as he died on the battlefield, that I would abolish the seal. I keep my promises, Honorable Elder. It is my nindo.”
A porcelain doll with a backbone of steel.
-----
She was born the heir, and for all that she is an intruder to this era, Hinata is still an heir. The current clan head is young, and has no children. With Hinata unsealed and powerful, young and lithe and useful, she is easily slotted into the role of heir. Her blood befits it, supposedly.
Oh they titter, for sure. Hinata is capable of wearing the clothing of the time, but she prefers things in a cut closer to what she arrived in. She spent years building up her confidence to the point where she could bare her arms. She had months with Ino coaching her into taking pride in her muscles, teaching her to be unashamed of her chest. Hinata refuses to let them take that away from her.
They sneer, some of them, but Hinata is not the child she once was. She fought in the Fourth War. She attacked Pein alone. She has fought a Rinnegan and survived, if only because of the man she loved, and she is no longer the kind of girl that is cowed by an elderly fool with a cutting remark.
But she is still an heir, and not a clan head in her own right. There is no affection to hold back Hyuuga Hideki, not as there was with Hiashi or as there would have been with Hanabi. Hideki does not know her, for all that her genealogy lists him as her great-grandfather, and he thinks little of setting her up for a marriage.
“Am I to know the name of my groom?” Hinata asks.
(She does not worry for leaving the clan. They would not waste a Byakugan as clear as hers. They will bring in new, strong blood, for the so-called purity of Hinata’s line is a scant generation from breaking to something ugly, but they will keep her and her groom within the clan. Her children, her eyes, belong to the clan. They dare not let her leave, and to sell her off is anathema.)
“No,” Hideki tells her. “We haven’t decided.”
“I see.”
-----
There’s a pang in her heart, when she looks at the wedding kimono. She’d hoped for love, before. She’d hoped for Naruto’s hand in hers, or if he did not want her, to find and grow a relationship with another. She’d have been able to have her pick of the pack, so to speak.
Perfect, unmarred heiress.
(What a disgusting role, truly.)
Several branch members help her into the layers and layers of formal dress. They comb her hair into too-complex twists and paint her face in ways that feel old and unpleasant.
(Tradition is as tradition does, but to be nearly a century in the past is stifling.)
Hinata is not a broodmare, and she has been clear on such a point, but she is still a valuable piece on the board that the clan has received without expectation. They use her as they use anyone. She is here to battle on the field, if necessary, but she is far more vital in securing an alliance. Principled, they call her. Headstrong for ideals that barely exist yet, ideals that won’t be commonplace for decades yet.
“Silk hiding steel,” one elderly branch woman says, approval in her eyes and on her tongue. “I hope they keep you.”
Hinata never wanted to be clan head, but there is no Hanabi here to take up Neji’s cause and drive it to completion. There are no others willing to dedicate themselves to abolishing this wretched seal, and so it falls to Hinata. She will not fail.
Her groom makes such a thing more than feasible.
-----
The wedding is traditional, rigid, and ultimately successful. Hinata is ‘hitched,’ as Kiba might have said, and she keeps her face pleasantly disinterested for the whole of it. The party afterwards is livelier, but only because of the clan she has tied herself to.
They retire soon enough. The marriage is not complete, after all.
“I don’t suppose the Hyuuga are one of the clans willing to take a person’s word for consummation,” her new husband says.
“There are ways of checking after the fact,” she says. She passes a hand over the wall, and the designs painted into the wood glow faintly. “But for the act itself, we have privacy.”
She is eighteen, almost nineteen. She is newly wedded to a man who is a stranger in all but name, and she plans to change history every bit as much as he does.
He still grimaces. “You are... a bit young.”
“You flatter me,” she says. “But I am of an age to be wed, and so of an age to engage in... more carnal matters.”
This does not soothe him. “If you are to beget a child this young... it’s old enough that you’d avoid the worst of the consequences, but the risk is still there. Your body is still changing, as likely as not.”
She cannot help it. She laughs. “I’ve no need to secure a pregnancy as of yet, Honored Husband. While the contract may have stated we consummate immediately, my own clan’s elders have chosen to look the other way if we take a few years to solidify the alliance with a child.”
He’s less than five years older than her, and walks as though he expects and even asks to carry the weight of the world on his own two shoulders. The relief that breaks across his face is almost childlike in its openness.
“I was not informed,” he says. “I am glad to hear it.”
Hinata ducks her head and smiles. “Your concern for me is appreciated. I have some small medical training of my own, and can prevent a pregnancy with relatively little ease until the village your brother spoke of is formed. They would not want to waste a kunoichi with battlefield experience, after all.”
He nods. He hesitates. He asks, nonetheless, “Are you truly so firm in your belief of such? They said you supported the concept of the village, but to see you speak of it so confidently is a surprise.”
Hinata watches him for a moment, and then stands and moves to the armoire. She has very few things left from the future she cannot return to, but there are two she has kept for this situation.
She returns to her husband with her forehead protector in one hand, a ragged bingo book in the other, and a scroll tucked into her obi.
He looks them over. He turns the pages with a crease in his brow, feels at the woven mesh and linen the metal is riveted to. He looks up and asks, “How many decades?”
“Hideki-sama would have been my grandfather. However, as things stand, that is no longer assured,” she says. “You were some fifty years dead when I was sent back in time.”
“I see,” he says, and looks back down. “There are not many Senju or Uchiha in this booklet. Did they not defect at high rates, or...”
“Both clans were down to a single surviving member by the time I was seventeen,” Hinata tells him. “The Uzumaki down to two.”
“So the village system--”
“Was not at fault,” Hinata says. He looks up sharply, and she smiles. “I can tell you how it all happened, and what can be done to prevent it, but it will not be easy.”
“Such things never are,” he says. He looks back down at the bingo book, frowning. “You choose to help save my clan, after I have married into yours. I expect you hope for some aid in return?”
“Oh, to prevent the destruction the Senju and Uchiha is to prevent the end of the world,” she says. “I would do this even if it wasn’t, but as it stands, there is indeed something I will ask you to help with.”
“Something equal to preventing the end of the world?” he asks, and she thinks he may be trying to add a dash of humor to the heavy conversation. She appreciates the attempt, for all that it fails.
“It is to me,” she says instead, and pulls the scroll from her obi. “You are a fuuinjutsu master, are you not?”
“My sister-in-law is better,” he says. “But yes, I’m nearing such a level.”
Hinata nods. “The history books said as much.”
He eyes her for a moment, brows narrowed, and then unfurls the scroll.
She waits.
It doesn’t take long for him to inhale sharply. “This is barbaric.”
“Yes, I agree,” she says, calm and pleasant. “I’m not supposed to be showing you this. I hope you understand.”
He looks at her. “You want me to change it?”
“Removal first,” she says. “We need a substitute ready when we do so, to prevent at least one angle of argument. A seal that still destroys the eyes at death, but without the... more unpleasant aspects.”
“You want me to help you stage a coup in your own clan.”
“Not a coup. If Hideki is willing to allow for the changes to the seal, then I am uninterested in replacing him. I have no great dreams of leadership, Honored Husband. I simply wish to free my family of their bonds.”
“And to help me save my clan.”
“By saving the world, yes.” She smiles at him. “I’ll save your clan if you save mine?”
He closes his eyes and shakes his head. “I can’t... well. This isn’t quite what I expected.”
“Of that, I’m sure.”
"I agree to your terms,” he says. “Also... while I am like to officially outrank you on the battlefield and in the village that will be, I was under the impression that, within the confines of the Hyuuga compound, you outrank me, and outside of it, we are equals.”
“That is correct.”
“In that regard, please stop addressing me as ‘Honored Husband,’” he says. “It is surprisingly uncomfortable to hear.”
Hinata can’t help but laugh at him again. “Of course. Shall I call you Tobirama-kun instead, then?”
“Am I to address you as ‘Hinata-chan?’” He asks, a tad too dry. “Or simply dear?”
“Darling.”
“Sweetheart.”
“Beloved.”
“I’m not one for pet names.”
“What a shame. I am.”
Yes. She rather thinks this will turn out splendidly. She may not have the true love of her dreams, but this... this will work.
She’ll make sure of it.

Summary: % Sweet - What’s a guy to do when he has a cute customer?  Bubble tea shop AU.
Part 1 of a series of fluffy short one-shots in Modern AU.
For @badluckbrebis for NaruHina Secret Santa 2020!  I have more planned for this gift exchange, so please stay tuned.  I REALLY HOPE YOU LIKE THESE.
Rating: G
% Sweet
With a gallon of milk in each hand, Naruto saunters down the road from the nearby supermarket back to Kyuu-Tea, his part-time.
The sun’s finally starting to set, sending a golden hue across the cooling afternoon.  It’s been good weather.  Which means they’ll have a good amount of customers heading in for a boba drink before dinner.  Hopefully, that girl, too-
The sound of a car door shutting closed draws his attention.
Her.  Long, dark blue hair and skin as creamy as genmaicha milk tea.
His heart thumps almost violently in his chest like a gunshot at a race.  He’s making a mad dash back to the shop, throwing the door open, bursting in, and he announces to Sasuke with an uncontrolled yell, "SHE'S COMING!  I saw her!!"
Sasuke stands straighter behind the counter with a concerned and curious, “Who?”
But he’s already rushing into the back to shove the milk into the fridge before flying back out to the floor.  “The girl from last night,” he gasps as he frantically straightens chairs and takes panicked glances at each table for any stray straw wrappers lying around.
Sasuke’s brows are high on his forehead as Naruto runs back behind the counter and pushes him away from the register.
And hardly five seconds later, he sees her appearing on the other side of the windows, pulling the door open, laughing with a friend with double buns.  The friend’s got that street-sporty look that he’d usually be into, but the girl is just soo pretty...and especially after what Sakura told him...
Naruto can’t help smiling stupidly at her.
She glances at him, and her gaze dances away, a shy smile coloring her sweet face.  She approaches the counter, her eyes focused on the menu, but he’s quite certain that she’s already decided.
“Hi,” he greets.
“Hello,” and finally, she looks at him head-on, and damn, he’s really never seen eyes like hers before in his life.
“The same as last time?” he asks.
Those light eyes widen in surprise, and he can’t help mentally patting himself on the back.  “Oh, yes,” she murmurs in soft tones that leave him wanting to hear more.
“Medium Winter Melon Tea Latte?”
She nods.
“With light sugar?”
She nods again, that blush on her cheeks almost good enough to compensate for her silence.
He taps her order onto the touchscreen.  “...And small boba?”
“Yes, thank you.”
He grins despite knowing that he’s way too excited about such a customary phrase.  “That’ll be $4.95.”
She nods again, opening her purse and retrieving a $5 bill for him.
“Thank you...here’s your change.”
She takes it and promptly drops the nickel into the tip jar.
He’s still smiling at her even as she turns around.
She’s cutely biting her lips, and he hears her quietly remark to her friend, “He remembered my order.”
“What, really?” the other girl gasps.
He smiles wider and steps away from the register, super proud of himself.  “Sasuke, can you get the next one for me?”
“Oh.”  Sasuke hands him the plastic cup for that girl before taking his spot at the register back.
And Naruto gets to work, all the while wondering if she’s watching him or not.
Gods, he really hopes she’s into him like Sakura said she is.
Sealing the lid to the cup, he grabs a big straw for her and neglects calling out that her finished order is ready in favor of taking it directly to the table where she and her friend are seated.  “Here’s your Winter Melon Tea Latte.”
Again, she looks at him with that incredibly surprised expression.  “O-oh, thank you.”
“No problem.”  He grins for a second before turning around, but disappointment quickly settles in.  That’s pretty much the end of their interactions for the rest of the night.
The number of customers starts picking up again, as he predicted.
But his straying gaze to her table doesn’t go unnoticed.  She catches him every so often, blushes, and looks away.
He hopes that he’s not coming off as creepy.  It's just that he can’t stop thinking about her.
And who can really blame him?  When they came last night, Sakura quickly told him before they left the shop that her friend thinks he’s hot!
Hot, as in like, should he try to pursue her?  Or was that just a passing, shallow compliment?
But they’re here again and…
Turning to Sasuke, he blurts out his conundrum in as hushed an urgent whisper as he can.  “Should I try talking to her?”
But Sasuke seems not nearly as invested in this as he should be.  “If you wanna talk to her, then talk to her.”
He wishes he wasn’t such a dork.  Then maybe he’d have the nonchalant attitude necessary to just walk up to girls and start hitting on them.
They could leave at any second now.  And now is as good as it’s going to get while there’s a lull in the work.
So sucking up his self-consciousness, he strides over to their table again.
She’s looking at him shyly.
“Uh, hi,” he starts.  Really smooth of him.
Her friend is making eyes between the two of them, and, honestly, this is the most awkward thing he’s ever tried to do in his life.
“Hello,” she greets.
The friend also says, “Hi.”
“I heard you-”  He abruptly stops.  What’s he actually trying to say here, that he heard she thinks he’s hot?!  “-I, I’m friends with Sakura, and uh-”
She’s nodding.
Thankfully, the friend intervenes.  “Yeah, Sakura wanted to show us this place where her friends work.  You guys have good tea.”
“Thanks.”  He awkwardly smiles, wondering how he got himself into this mess.  Why can’t he talk like a normal person right now?  “Glad you guys liked it enough to come back again.”
She smiles and nods.
“Uh…”  Now what.  Now what is he supposed to do.  “...Can I have your number?  O-or, I could give you mine if you’d be more comfortable…”
She’s nodding, taking out her phone.
“...with that… um…”  He watches her unlock her phone and open up a new contact page.  “My number is…”
She taps in his phone number, and he really hopes she’ll actually contact him, and that he’s not going to be the next fool in their girl-talk.
But with that sweetly shy look, she peeks back up at him, and his hope multiplies ten-fold.  He must be doing something right for her to look at him like that...
“Um...what was your name again?” she nearly whispers.
Embarrassed heat slams into his face and beats down at his neck.  “Oh!"  He really is a fool of all fools.  "I’m Naruto.  Naruto Uzumaki.  Sorry…”
She shakes her head, a small smile playing at her lips as she enters his name into her phone.
“A-and your name?” he ventures to ask.  He wishes he could start this whole conversation over.  They are definitely going to be laughing about him after this.
“I’m Hinata.  And-”  She looks at her friend.  “-This is Tenten.”
Tenten raises a hand up from the table as if to separate herself from their conversation.  “Don’t mind me.”
He grimaces in renewed embarrassment, muttering an apology that he’s not sure the other girl heard over Hinata’s much more embarrassed cry of, “Tenten!”
The buns girl is just laughing at them.
“So uh, Hinata,” he redirects, “Text me sometime?”
She nods, her cheeks adorably flushed.  “I am.  Right now.”
Unchecked, stupid joy floods him, and he knows he's smiling way too much to look cool.  “Great, thanks.”
The little bell at the door chimes as more customers walk in.
He has to get back to work.  But first, he makes sure to seal this with a promise.  “I’ll talk to you later, then?"
She nods easily, and he turns around to give Sasuke a victorious grin.
Back behind the counter, his phone vibrates in his pocket, and a quick glance shows a short message: “Hello this is Hinata Hyuuga :)”
A flashed smile at Hinata, a wave of his phone to show that he got her message, and she’s blushing that adorable smile back at him.  “Thanks for texting me back,” he taps out and sends before he finally starts focusing on making drinks.
Only a few minutes later, he notices them cleaning up, getting ready to leave.
“Thank you!” he shouts out.
She turns, mouthing a “thank you” in return, with that sweet smile that dazzles him each time, and he can already tell she’s exactly what he wants.
Even if her boba tea is 25% sweetness, Hinata is definitely 125% extra sugar.

About Jaune ships...
I have opinions. You may not agree, but they are mine. They may change in time, but not now.
LANCASTER ( RUBY X JAUNE )
The old tried and true. I mean, what's not to like? Cute girl falls for first guy she meets at Beacon? Classic romance trope, and after reading how much Ruby loves romance stories (I consider certain parts in the manga canon), it makes sense. In fact, after Arkos sank (A moment of silence, please . . . Thank you), many moved to Lancaster, which isn't bad. Happens all the time in fandoms. Sad thing, though, is far I think she'll last. If we're talking Volume 5 or earlier, then maybe. However, I feel if Ruby were to have an endgame in romance, it would be RoseGarden (I have opinions on that as well, but today isn't the day to discuss that), mostly because Oscar bumped Jaune's role from male lead to male side. Not to mention that while Jaune is becoming a beast in his own right, Ruby is a different creature altogether and evolving her character more rapidly and chaotically than anyone else (Must be all that screentime).
TLDR: I want it to be canon, but I might just be hoping.
WHITE KNIGHT ( WEISS X JAUNE)
Doofus in tin foil meets princess who hates daddy (Am I in the romance section of the library? You know, the corner for adults only?) No, but I do like this ship. I'm always a sucker for the fantasy genre, and using a zero to hero male makes it relatable. I also kind of ship it because the same reason I ship NaruSaku in the Naruto fandom: he likes her and he's willing to go the distance. But enough about that; instead let's talk about canon. Will they hook up? It's a soft maybe for me, for two reasons. 1. Rosegarden is most likely to be endgame, and after Ruby and Pyrrha, I'd say Weiss is Jaune's next to be his love interest. 2. Weiss has warmed up to Jaune. Sure, not lover or crush level (Yet), but she's definitely changed her opinion on him. In Volume 1, Jaune was bugging her, like all the time, which I could see as him getting mixed signals on (Exhibit A: Tall, blonde, and scraggly). When Volume 5 came around, everyone jumped onboard because he saved her life (Don't lie, because I'll admit that I did it, too). Not the best reason, but still reason enough, I'd say. Then in Volume 7, she hangs out with him and Oscar to the movies (It was either that or awkward Bumbleby all night. I feel ya, sister). Nothing romantic happens, but it does show how much their relationship has developed. If Weiss is Jaune's endgame, then they have set the pieces up perfectly to do so.
TLDR: High likelihood to be canon and I'm a sucker for Knight/Princess ships.
KNIGHTSHADE ( BLAKE X JAUNE)
This is the part where I say definitely not. Not in a million years, but I'll explain why I like the ship, though. As for why it won't work, the answer is Bumbleby. They haven't kissed yet, but you know they're going to eventually (Because if they don't, the fans will attack like a swarm of hornets). But here's the question you might be asking now: why do I ship this? Well, it's part of the allure of "opposites attract" ('Cause I'm dressed like a cat!). Blake is an intelligent, outspoken, and agile ninja with a criminal history of terrorism who spends her free time reading novels. Jaune is a B at best on his tests, soft-hearted, and ground-based knight who's worst crime is fraud (Still a crime, but peanuts compared to literal terrorism) and spends his free time hanging out with his team. Day and night. But they also tried that with Sun for a season and a half and it didn't last (BECAUSE BEES).
TLDR: Not even a snowball's chance in the summer sun, but so much story potential if you do (Which I do)!
DRAGONSLAYER ( YANG X JAUNE )
This, I would say, is the opposite of Knightshade, where Jaune is the day and Blake is night, here Yang is the Sun and Jaune is the Moon (Like their crests! Remember those? Y'know, when they were relevant?) Will it work? Even less so than Knightshade. However, it does open up some interesting paths considering how... provocative Yang can be, and Jaune, compared to the other guys, is the nerdiest, geekiest dude at Beacon. It's like the cheerleader/nerd romance, except the cheerleader is the captain of every sports team... and rides a motorcycle. The Volume 8 preview introduced us to Yang and Jaune riding motorcycles and we went nuts over it. Yang was back in her element, roaring down the street, riding on walls, popping off tricks with Oscar riding- Back to what I was saying, people were asking, "How did he know how to ride a motorcycle?" and the elementary answer is "He didn't." He almost fell off his bike from a small box in the road. True, anyone would, but look at how he reacts: he stiffens, he refocuses on the road. This kid literally started riding at breakfast, and I DARE you to prove me wrong. But hey, great fic material right there, though, eh?
TLDR: Never gonna happen, but I don't care. All I care about is writing that they love each other. And they also fu-!
ARKOS ( PYRRHA X JAUNE )
I'm sorry, I need a moment. . . . Alright. Do it for her. This ship... was perfect. Probably the best ship out them all. I legit almost cry every time I think about Volume 3. Pyrrha was everyone's favorite. Her background, her interactions, her choreography, everything! But, of course, like everything in our lives, she was too good to be true. But let's honor her memory by talking about her ship, Arkos. Pyrrha was the champion of the world, the Brothers' and Oums' gift to Remnant. She could do no wrong and she HATED it. Her plight was with how she was seen. Everybody knew her! Everybody, except Jaune. And he only figured out she was "a big deal" was because Weiss had to spell it out for him! As time went on, they became the best of friends, two peas in a pod, the perfect odd couple! They worked together and trusted each other, they cared for and supported each other, they lo- No. No, I can't say it. It's been years, and it still hurts. So, I'll explain something else: the reason why Jaune SHOULD NOT be shipped right now. That reason is Pyrrha. Jaune was helpless to save her. He's suffering from survivor's guilt and he's still grieving. In Volume 4, he would sneak away and train until late at night to scroll recording of her. In Volume 5, he confronted Cinder and got Weiss almost killed because he let his grief for Pyrrha take control of him and let his emotions run wild. In Volume 6, he finds the Pyrrha statue and he... I don't know how to say this, but he let's go. He accepts that Pyrrha is gone and he's starting the healing process. He's finally ready to move forward.
TLDR: T.T I never felt that it was wise to wish too much~
MARTIAL ARCS ( REN X JAUNE)
I'll be honest, I don't really ship it. Yeah, it's cute, and it falls perfectly into the "if I had to pick a guy" part of me, but to be honest, I don't ship it. 10% because Renora and 90% it just doesn't click with me. They both just seem too soft, too quiet, too introverted. Best friends? Yes, definitely! But lovers? Eeeeeh, not really.
TLDR: I will only ship as neccessary.
NORA'S ARC ( NORA X JAUNE )
I've only just got in this deep with the fandom only recently, so I don't know if a lot of you know me. Heck, I'm probably just some RWBY fan you happen to spot as you move through your dash. However, old or new, I want to be made absolutely positively clear on this. Of all the ships here, this has got to be my-
O T FUDGIN' P
Wow! Never thought I'd feel so strongly about a crack ship like this. And yes, as sad it is to say, this is a crack ship. Renora was planned from day one, so it can't be helped. At least it didn't blast me in the face all of the sudden (OH NO, NOT THE BEES! AAAAARGH! THEY'RE IN MY EYES!). But why this ship? Well, for one thing, it's that whole opposites attract thing with Nora as the bubbly, outspoken, airhead powerhouse and Jaune as the soft spoken, introverted, nerd tactician. But wait, there's more to this trope, because it can go deeper: Order VS Chaos! Who makes all the messes? Who cleans up those messes? Who follows all the rules? Who makes their own doors? It's just. So. Damn! GOOD! One sad thing about this ship though is that it's not only not canon because of Renora, it's anti-canon because Renora. Every fan fic of Nora's Arc requires an explanation for Ren and Nora to not be together-together, like you have to write a formal apology to the FNDM for liking something that's different from what is canon or commonly accepted. If that's the case, then I'll be the anarchist here!
TLDR: I LOVE IT! What's that? Not canon? Who gives a damn?! I just explained why Jaune won't be shipped anyways! Now, if you'll excuse, I have some fan fics to find.
ARCFALL ( CINDER X JAUNE )
Oh, here it goes! Now, if we're talking ships that'll never happen, this is where we find better reasons than "it's not canon" and "character development". No, this... This is a declaration of war. Allow me to explain. Cinder Fall is evil. Like, down to her core. She wants power and she'll cut through anyone to get to it. Including Pyrrha. This woman sank Arkos by means other than "X and Y kissed, so..." She killed X, leaving Y alone. And her interactions with Jaune tell me she wouldn't even be worth a hate-bang. But, as Momma always, there's a thin line between love and hate. This is where the appeal comes in. Cinder is evil with no past, which leaves the previous chapter's of her life story blank to be filled in. Jaune is good with a troublesome, albeit easy past, but untapped potential for more. It's another opposites attract, but different from INTRO VS EXTRO and CHAOS VS ORDER; this is GOOD VS EVIL. Who will win this battle of wills; will our hero purify the tainted heart, or will he slip deeper into darkness, never to return to the light?
TLDR: Should be a NOTP, and yet the allure pulls me in.
What do y'all think? Do you agree? Let me know!

do you have any tips on writing sasuke and naruto? specifically things like inner thoughts and dialogue?
Oh!!! This is such a cool question, thank you so much anon. This...actually got really, really long, but I hope it’s actually helpful!! This is just the way I write them, so take everything I say with a grain of salt!!
I’ll put it under a read more because it got so long haha :)
General advice:
For dialogue, generally, I feel like what actually helped me a ton was when I had to transcribe a bunch of interviews for school. You have to include everything, the body language, the ums, the stutters - so I’d actually really recommend trying that? Ideally finding something that isn’t edited, like a livestream or something, and trying to write down a few minutes of what the person says perfectly. It’s actually really, really hard!! Your brain automatically deletes the repetitions and stutters and spare words, so forcing yourself to identify them really helps with figuring out how people talk and writing more realistic dialogue. An example would be something like:
“I went to the—like the—the, um, ba—the store in the back alley, you know?”
(Things in there: (1) repetitions of “the”, (2) people say “like” a lot and your brain tends to delete that, (3) same with ums/uhs/other noises of thought, and (4) the way your brain can skip ahead to the next out-of-order word and you back up and go back to finish the thought. That happens a lot!)
You do have to balance it with readability, I find, because some people stutter a lot (especially if they’re in thought), but writing it all out like that really helped me learn how people talk, so I really recommend it!! I think if you can hear their voice saying it in your head, you’re on the right track.
For things like inner thoughts, it’s…sort of like dialogue, but less restrained. Inner thoughts are really fun because you not only get to play with being an unreliable narrator, but you also get to have people’s thoughts betray themselves. You can control your thoughts, but only to some extent, so something I really like to play with is cutting off a thought that’s about too admit something the character isn’t ready to admit (but something that they know, deep down). Like:
“Of course, his shirt did…smell nice. Like him. And there was something warm and settling about being here. Not that—not that this felt like home, or anything, it was just nice, and comfortable, and he just wasn’t used to these sorts of things so of course he—
He shook his head.
Never mind. He ought to get out of here anyway.”
Inner thoughts also are fun to tell a bit of a story with. You can contradict yourself or correct yourself, and a metaphor can sort of change the more the character things about it. Your writing doesn’t have to be perfect because thoughts really aren’t—but they will probably be real run-on sentences hahaha. Dashes and commas everywhere!!! The thoughts never end!!
Character-specific advice:
A big part of how I write Sasuke and Naruto depends on the AU it is set in. I’ll write generally about canon here, but obviously things change if Sasuke grew up with a family, if Naruto got some therapy - they might be more in tune with their emotions, they might be more explicit about the way they feel or more honest. A good example of this is in Something Good, where Sasuke is much more honest about himself and emotions and all that than he would be in canon—this is really only because he had Itachi and actually got help for his trauma. This effects Naruto a lot in AUs too because he doesn’t always have the same tendency to really repress himself, the way he does in canon. So you actually have a lot of wiggle room, as long as you’re focusing on the way your characters have lived until they got to this point.
Another bit to think about: my ability to really delve into character’s heads comes from the fact that I write Third Person Limited, which is third person but in specific perspectives as opposed Third Person Omniscient, which has the sort of free-floating narrator where you can be in everyone’s heads all at once, so it will definitely read differently.
For Naruto:
Naruto speaks more casually:
 He swears more, but not as much as Kiba
 He tends to slur some words together, saying things like kinda and gotcha and sorta where Sasuke wouldn’t
Where Sasuke might say something like “this was certainly…powerful” Naruto would say something like “this was real fucking strong!!!’
More exclamation marks, more straightforward, more sort of loud?? Types of thought and dialogue???
Naruto is grammatically incorrect! Spell check is often angry with me about this
Naruto will be the first to notice something is wrong with someone else and spend loads of time thinking and assessing it
Naruto will be the last person to acknowledge and assess something that is wrong with himself
His head is pretty straight forward, he’s less likely to use metaphors and flowery comparisons to describe things
E.g. Sasuke’s eyes were just—weird. Like the could see right through you, right into you—Naruto felt like some part of him needed to hide, because if he kept looking for a second longer Sasuke would know everything—
He looked away.
He tends to repeat himself and not really describe the way he feels, because he doesn’t really understand it. This also goes for positive emotions!! There is a lot of “huh I felt something. Anyway,” with Naruto dfsfs
Naruto expresses a lot of affection by doing stuff for people - this expands past Sasuke, but can come back to bite him. He’s eager to say yes to favours but this links back to him putting others before himself/wanting everyone to love him
For Sasuke:
Sasuke speaks more formally, but not as formal as Itachi
 Also mostly grammatically correct, uses mostly full punctuation in text messages (Itachi uses full punctuation, Naruto is probably all chatspeak but I write it as partial chatspeak to make it easier to read)
Sasuke’s head will run away with itself all the time
He’s quite poetic and romantic, he’ll speak in much more metaphors
E.g. “Naruto’s eyes were like the sky. Like breathing in the air after it rained—when it was cool and crisp and alive, when the world awoke again after it had all been grey. Something in Sasuke certainly felt…alive.”
Sasuke’s more of an asshole
 He’s sarcastic and sort of eyeroll-y at lots of stuff, including himself and his own thoughts. He tends to be more pessimistic and negative, too!
Exception: Naruto. Naruto is amazing and Sasuke secretly believes he can do literally anything. He will NEVER say it out loud unless Naruto forces him out of it (read: in moments where Naruto is being negative/down on himself/being out character in a way that Sasuke feels like he’s a bit scared and needs to shake him with something honest and true) but he will say it in his own head because he can’t control that. Take that, Sasuke
 He can be real judgy—e.g. in Enter Naruto where he calls Itachi’s coat pretentious.
He can be even more judgy about himself. He’s pretty hard on himself and will frequently put himself down in his thoughts, which he thinks about as factual statements
E.g. “nothing compared to his brother, of course, but Itachi was perfect and Sasuke was still...just himself.
 Now if only his father could realize that, too.”
E.g. “And Naruto looked at him as if it was true, but Sasuke knew it wasn’t. Sasuke had chosen this path, and he’d walked down it. Naruto seemed to think he could simply turn around, but Sasuke…knew better.”
He speaks less, which is helped by the fact that you can totally call him out if you’re writing his POV, or you can use Naruto to call him out because Naruto knows him like the back of his hand
His affection is more quiet?? More nonverbal, in general, than Naruto’s. Not that Naruto is like super good at expressing himself either but he will get closer than Sasuke will out loud
That said, Sasuke is really fun to write as not being able to control the way he seeks Naruto out, through small intimate actions like folding his clothes or wanting to spar or sitting just a little too close to Naruto on the couch. Sort of partially unconscious expressions of love - Sasuke is all over those. (He doesn’t have to be, but it’s really fun to write him that way; you all know how I love writing deeply-in-love Sasuke)
Their fatal flaws when it comes to writing Third Person Limited: both of these assholes are really unlikely to comment on specific details, so you’re gonna have to write from somebody else’s POV if you really want to hit home about how cute Sakura’s new outfit looks. You’re only gonna get to describe it if she’s like...asking Naruto about it in some way, or if Sasuke is being a judgy dick about it or something shfsdkhfd
BUT, they will notice those things about each other, especially if they are in love or are starting to fall, and it’s one of those quiet little ways you can play with to make their emotions evident.
I feel like I could actually keep going about all this but this is SO LONG and I might start repeating myself, so I’ll stop here. Thank you for the ask, anon, I hope it was helpful!!! It was fun to answer :)

"You are out of your mind."
You said, watching the black velvet locks falling on your best friend's eyes.
"Why? This is a good deal."
Well, it wasn't really a good one.
Your best friend was known around the school for making bets with everyone about everything, luckily for him he was usually winning all of them.
But you just couldn't stop thinking about a day coming when he would lose and, what would follow, getting himself into inevitable trouble.
"Baekhyun, it would be an alright deal if it was just another student. But breaking into our principal's office and leaving your bluetooth box behind a plant to pretend a ghost through your phone later doesn't appear very good to me." You said, looking at your reflection on your black phone screen to wipe away a little smudge which came from your red lipstick.
"Y/N, this kid said he would do my whole literature assignment for me if I pulled this off." Baekhyun let out a deep breath, making his dark bangs fly up and gently fall on his eyes again. "And before you say anything, it would be a win and win situation because I also made a bet with Sehun that-"
"I thought that I clearly told you not to bet with my stupid brother anymore you jackass!"
"But Y/N" Baekhyun whined, tugging on your right arm. "I made a bet with Sehun that I will win two bets today, and if I fail I will have to wash his socks for a month."
You held back a laugh. "Well then good luck with that, because I doubt that you will get out of it without trauma after dealing with Sehun's used smelly socks."
Baekhyun gave you a mortified look. "I don't want to die of lack of fresh air to breathe." He continued whining. "I already won one today, and nobody beside that kid from class one is willing to bet."
"Then provide yourself a mask for a date with my older brother's socks."
"Y/N, this is for real" Baekhyun now was leaning his cheek on your head. "I need to find a beneficial bet, like, right in this moment."
"Beneficial my foot."
"Foot? Wait." He said, straightening himself. "Foot..."
You looked at him questioningly before speaking again. "Baekhyun, I'm not glueing anyone's shoes to the floor with you, if that's what you just thought of."
"No, no, actually I thought of something more classic." He said, tapping on his lower lip with his finger. "What about the good old if I run there and there in, I don't know, for example four minutes I will win this and this"
"And who do you want to ask?" You asked.
"Well" Baekhyun smiled. "What about my dear best friend?" He gently pulled you closer to him circling your waist with his left arm, waiting for your reply.
"No way, I know you too well, you will ask for some stupid sick stuff which will make a clown out of me in the end." You said, jokingly pushing his arm away.
"I promise I won't ask for sick stuff, I would rather ask for something..." He paused, taking the opportunity to gently pull you closer again. "Something sweet in return."
"And that sweet thing would be what, precisely?" You asked.
Baekhyun let go of your waist, stretching out his arm and pointing ahead of you. "Let's say, if I manage to Naruto run through the entire hallway until the end and back to you in one minute, you will let me kiss you. On your lips." He told you, his smile becoming always wider as he presented you his wonderful idea of which, he seemed to be a little too proud of.
You only widened your eyes, looking at him with disbelief.
Your crazy best friend wanted to do what?
Out of all possible things you could take for a stupid bet, he decided to go a little, and by little you meant a lot, overboard with his idea.
For some girls maybe it wouldn't be a particularly big deal, but knowing that you out of all people still haven't given your first kiss, it didn't appear as the most optimal thing to you in that moment.
"What the freak Baek" You said. "I'm not doing this, this would be my first ever kiss!"
"I know." He replied.
And there you were, thinking that his impertinent smile couldn't become any bigger.
Well, you thought wrong.
"Yeah, that's why you can't do that." You continued. "And even if I agreed to this clownery bet, you would need at least three minutes to run to the end of the hallway and back to where we are now, so this is impossible."
"If you think that this is impossible for me to do, then what do you care? Just agree." He said.
To be completely honest, even if you thought that Baekhyun would lose that one anyway, for some reason you still weren't wholly convinced.
"And for starters, why out of all things Naruto running?" You asked, letting out a soft laugh. "And what will I get if you lose?"
Baekhyun lightly tapped his lower lip again, thinking. "Well, if I lose I will buy you inari sushi for the whole week." He said. "And Naruto run will be funnier than running normally, so"
"Yeah, funnier to watch you fail." You said.
"So do we have a deal?"
"Deal. Better prepare your wallet for my inari already." You said, pulling out your phone. There was no way you weren't going to film this spectacle.
"I'll run on three." He said, throwing his arms back. "One... Two... Three!" He bolted forward at a high speed, accelerating as much as only possible as if there was no tomorrow.
The school hallway was completely empty in that moment, given that most of the students already finished their lessons and left whilst those who had evening lessons were on a break somewhere else.
You watched as Baekhyun became always smaller and smaller in the distance, given that the hallway was indeed amazingly long. You started to wonder if he decided to make running through it a bet only because, like already mentioned, it was completely empty besides the two of you and he knew that he had way better chances of winning.
You tried to push this thought aside as you glanced at your phone, checking the time.
Thirty seconds left.
To your surprise and disbelief, he was already reaching the end of the hallway only to quickly turn around and start running back to you.
Twenty seconds left.
You watched still in a complete disbelief how Baekhyun was dashing forward, almost reaching you.
Ten seconds left.
It was a literal race between him and time, and as much as you hoped for the timer to finally start ringing before he made it back to where you were standing, he was already there panting, three seconds before the alarm.
"How on earth-" You started, visibly flabbergasted.
Baekhyun only gave you a wide smile in response, running his slender fingers through his black hair. "I won."
No, no, no.
It couldn't be.
As your best friend's grin grew always wider and wider, you started to realize the inevitable, slowly starting to get mad at yourself for agreeing to all this in the first place.
You really lost that stupid bet.
And now you would have to sacrifice your first kiss for that.
AND, the person you would have to give it to would be none other than your very own best friend.
For a moment you were just quietly looking at some invisible point in the air, only to be pulled back into the cruel reality by a gentle, soft touch on both sides of your face.
You looked up, being met with Baekhyun's sparkling brown eyes and never disappearing smile. "I won, Y/N. You know what that means-"
"Buuuut-" You interrupted him, looking to the right and to the left, trying to make up some excuse.
To be honest, you didn't believe the efficiency of any excuse in this situation yourself, but it couldn't hurt to try, could it?
You were about to say something else, when you felt Baekhyun's hands slide gently from your cheeks to your neck, softly caressing your loose hair.
Alright, now the red blush which you felt creeping up your dewy cheeks must have been literally beaming.
"But, um, Baek, I'm wearing red lipstick." You said, not even knowing for what you were hoping anymore.
"So?"
"It's, um, it's not date proof." You said, finally looking at him. "So, you know, maybe it will be better to just leave it, it will smudge and stain and you know, we will look like some clowns-"
"Y/N." He slowly pulled you even closer to himself. "I don't care."
"But-"
"Smudge my entire face for all I care. I don't mind." He said, his lips now only millimeters away from yours.
"Baekhyun-"
But before you could say anything else, you felt a soft, warm sensation against your lips, followed by his hands still gently caressing your hair.
It was so gentle, so careful, and really slow, making you feel as if the time stopped around you.
And when you finally gave in closing your eyes and kissing him back, you immediately felt him smiling against your lips, only to deepen the kiss as if it was all he really cared about in this world.
It lasted for about a minute, and when you pulled away, the scarlet stains on Baekhyun's lips, chin, and even cheeks were the first thing you saw.
You felt your already blushing cheeks warming up even more, imagining how you must have looked yourself.
"You were right." Baekhyun said, caressing your, probably equally, lipstick stained cheek. "We really do be looking like clowns right now."
You looked up. You didn't know anymore if the red on his cheeks was only your lipstick, or if he was blushing himself too.
"I told you." You said quietly.
"Y/N." He started again, not breaking the eye contact. "I think this is the right moment to tell you that I really don't want you to look like clowns with anyone else who isn't me."
You only looked back at him, lost in his dazzling eyes.
You didn't need to ask anything else, it was obvious to you what was the real meaning behind his sentence.
"Don't worry, you are the one and only clown I care about." You said, giving him a sweet smile.
The way his face lit up after hearing that, could make even the sun jealous of his radiance.
For a moment you just stood there in the hallway, looking in each other's eyes and smiling.
You didn't even care when the students who came back to their evening lessons were giving you questionable and weird looks when they noticed your scarlet smudged faces.
You finally snapped back into reality, acknowledging the time.
"Baek, we need to go to our classroom." You said. "But-" You paused. "We might want to go and clean this up." You added, pointing at the glossy stains.
Baekhyun gave you what felt like the thousandth smile today.
"Bet who will Naruto run faster to the bathroom?"
"Baekhyun!"

so i made the boys’ houses on the sims for my fic
this is a couple angles of naruto’s apartment. it’s much smaller, think like ~450 sqft, but it was pretty hard to make something that small in the sims and still have room for how i wanted the kitchen set up. also, it wouldn’t be alone like this, it’s an apartment so it’d be connected to other units on both sides, maybe even behind as well. it’d also be in a run down part of the city, not somewhere green and sunny like this location in the sims. 
this is modeled after my best friend’s old apartment, actually! but he lived in a much better area heh.
if you’d like to read my fic, it’s called You’re My Favorite Place and it’s on ao3, where i have the same username as my url! it’s a sasunaru fic and it’s a/b/o. like, omegaverse. kind of a study of how classist that society can be. extremely high class omega sasuke meets extremely low class alpha naruto. :D
screenshots under the read more so i don’t clog up any dashes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
small things i added after i had sasuke move in in the sims, like the bookshelf and that chair and his laptop on the island. i also used to have clutter everywhere all over the place, and dirty laundry, but i had to pick it up when sasuke moved in cause he’s a neat sim LOL
sorry it’s kinda misshapen. and badly decorated. i’m actually really bad at building in the sims. and interior design. i’m proud of what i did with sasuke’s room tho~ 
edit: i forgot the little dish by the door that sasuke bought for keys and mail and such. so i went to add one but all i could find is this bowl of fruit. just pretend there’s no fruit in it ok
Tumblr media
anyway here’s sasuke’s room!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
there’s supposed to be a kind of wooden thing he can climb on next to his window, but i don’t have the romance pack and the custom content i downloaded for it won’t show up for me to buy in game??? so i’ll just post a reference of it
Tumblr media
maybe not those grapes tho. lol. also he’s got a lil table out on his patio with some forgotten books!
Tumblr media
also here’s his bathroom. sorry for all the screenshots ;;
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and that’s all i have for you! whew. *wipes brow* 
i was super afraid that sasuke’s room would be like. GONE cause i had him move. and i’d have to rely on old screenshots. BUT THANKFULLY TWAS NOT THE CASE
hope this helps yall visualize their homes!

Hii good evening <3, I didn't get what you meant when you posted about why Naruto is supposed to be bad and why you should feel bad about it, mainly because I'm not sure wether you mean the character or the series hahah
either way I just didn't generally get what you're talking about so I wanted to know :] I tried google translate on your tag, but it wasn't great (though I think I got what you meant?)
Oh, that was just me still baffled about that incredible illogical argument of that one terf/swerf today. She (I'm bad, I'm assuming gender here, but honestly: terfs are almost ever cis women) said that naruto is bad and I should feel bad about it and then something about queer = evil because kink = predatory = paraphilia community and also queer enforces heternormativity and sie also outright denies that swerf is a thing and it all just doesn't make sense even with the context. My first reblog was in the context from where I actually reblogged that terrible take from, because it is from a bnf in the Naruto fandom agreeing with a terf.
On a side note: terfs tend to flock together. Have you ever noticed that suddenly terf accounts plop up in the suggested follow corner of your dash? That happens, when an account you're following either follows terfs or has a terf sideblog and/or follows terfs from a secret sideblog. So when you notice that an otherwise harmless-seeming fandom blog reblogs terfs every now and then, even if the posts might not be about typical terf topics, it's very likely that this account itself is run by a terf, especially if that person then also agrees on such a topic (queer = slur), because that is, definitely, a terf dogwhistle. Like the well-known statement: "I'm not a Nazi, but!" It's exactly the same. That's why I call Terfs fascho asses aka fascists.
Guess I'm the wrong kind of trans aka not trans at all in her eyes and therefore in a heternormative relationship, because being on the aroace spec and poly doesn't count for this kind of people. Since I'm not enough lgbt (we're dropping the qia+ here of course), I'm not allowed in their illustrious circles. Oh, and of course we're not talking about leatherpride because fuck pride history or whatever. /s
They don't even know their own history.
*guestures vaguely* I don't know either! Those people are just completely lost! Arguing with them is useless. And they're saying that trans is a cult, how ironic o.0
