    Summary

    “Are you single?” Gaara asks. He’s not sure how he’s meant to do this.

    “Oh, I see,” the man says after a pause. “I’ve read about this. You’re asking me out, and I should answer based on my interest rather than my actual relationship status.”

    Good, he’s making this easy, Gaara thinks.

    OR: Gaara asks Sai out.

    Summary

    "Maybe a marriage would be the way to go," Madara says eventually, half out of exasperation but also half because it wasn't actually a bad idea. Except for all the ways in which it was terrible.

    "But not," Izuna says with a wrinkle of his nose, "with Hashirama."

    "No," Madara says, holding back a laugh at Izuna's expense out of politeness even though Izuna will feel the full brunt of how funny Madara thinks the idea is. "There are, however, other Senju."

    Summary

    The Cursed Seal of Heaven has a very specific purpose—to heighten and aggravate emotions and physical strength. After all, a man obsessed is a man easily manipulated.

    And there is no one more obsessive than Sasuke Uchiha.

    Orochimaru is counting on the seal to amplify Sasuke’s need for vengeance and power until he comes crawling to Orochimaru on his own, thirsting for the knowledge to defeat his brother.

    What Orochimaru didn’t count on, was that Sasuke Uchiha had become just as obsessed with mother-henning his own teammates.

    Something Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi are finding out the hard way.

    Essentially, as soon as Sasuke wakes up after the invasion, he panics, kidnaps his teammates from the hospital, and locks them away in his apartment.

    Summary

    “As Rokudaime Hokage, it is my responsibility to indicate a successor to the Council, prior to my retirement,” Kakashi says, steepling his fingers together like he didn’t take office under the promise and threat of Nanadaime Hokage Uzumaki Naruto. “Upon formally submitting his candidacy, the Council’s responsibility is to vet the candidate for suitability and liabilities.”

    Iruka wants to gesture for Kakashi to get on with it and stop being so dramatic about information Iruka already knows, but is aware that will only extend this further.

    “The Council has determined that Naruto is unfit to take on the office of Hokage,” Kakashi says.

    Summary

    “Will you come watch the Free Skate as well?” Itachi asks.

    And look, Kisame doesn’t know what the fuck a Free Skate is but, “If I haven’t been castrated by then, yeah.”

    The words have barely left his mouth and he’s already wincing. Why does he say things without his brain’s permission? Why is he always looking like an absolute moron in front of the unfairly beautiful figure skater?

    A small huff cuts through Kisame’s self-recriminations and he looks up cautiously.

    Itachi’s eyes spark with genuine amusement, his mouth curved into a smirk. “That would be a shame.” He sighs faintly, almost inaudible. “And then what would I do with you?”
