    Summary

    Worse than receiving the mark - to have to stay still under Butsuma while he carved it in his skin - is the aftermath, when his father spits in his head, looks at it with pride every time he sees it even if it is covered with his happuri, he makes sure to torment Tobirama, to never let him forget it what was done to him.

    Summary

    Written for Tobirama Week 2024

    DAY 6 ∘ 02/18 ∘ HEART / TECHNIQUE / BODY

    What your soulmate thinks about you the hardest or the most appears on your body as writing. But there is often a duality to it before soulmates find each other—What they think of their unknown soulmate, and what they think of you as a person. And sometimes the gap between the two can be a painful chasm, too wide for the one in the know to dare to try to cross.

    Summary

    Tobirama's worst nightmare would definitely be seeing his brothers die. All of them. All over again. Without being able to protect them. Or save them. But he does. First Kawarama. Then Itama. Then… Izuna? And then, after years, Hashirama leaves him too… Only for Tobirama to eventually end up where he started: Back as a child, Kawarama and Itama at his side, Izuna at his opponent on the battlefield... Everything starting anew, with no way to end the cycle. He tries. Really. He makes plans, he tried to save those he loves. Even those he barely knows and makes a bunch of new friends. But with every failure, a new loop comes. Again, again, again, without anyone to confide into. Until… one day, someone offers his help.

    Summary

    Not all jōnin become Sensei. Some just don't have the talent for it — the knack for soothing burning palms and flying tempers, of riding almost half a decade of teenage hormones if they're lucky, of breaking off pieces of their hearts only to hand them over, still bleeding, to grubby-handed genin — and those jōnin tease the good ones, the ones who do have the talent: Babysitting, Kakashi? Teaching the Youths, Guy? Finally stuck back in Konoha, Asuma? Enjoying the grading, Kurenai? And yeah, they all laugh along with them or bare their teeth under their mask or blow their smoke a little harder, a little meaner, but they know what they are, what being a Sensei really means.

    Or, a series of snapshots showing off little moments between a Sensei and their team
