Mun Info + Rules

Hey there, my name is Shane (he/him)! I'm in my early twenties and currently going to University for a degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology. That, of course, will keep me busy, so my activity will be sporadic. I'm very bad with talking to people, I promise I'm only a little weird because I get very nervous interacting (I enjoy talking and making friends--I can't help the nervous thing, unfortunately).

For my rules, I'd say the obvious stuff:

  1. Please read my muse’s information before asking a question, there is a possibility it may be answered there.
  2. I’m not a huge fan of crossovers, so I most likely won’t interact with characters outside of the Naruto universe: I don’t mind roleplaying with different  Naruto versions/verses of a character from outside Naruto, though.
  3. Like an open starter if you wanna reblog the post with a continuation. If you see someone has reblogged that post or liked it that means it's closed. Or, if you would like to respond and it’s already reblogged by someone else, don’t be afraid to tag me in a different post. This is for neatness and organization really.
  4. No SMUT, both my muse and myself don't really vibe with that stuff.
  5. If you want to ship with my muse, please send me a message so we can discuss.
  6. Remember to have fun and don’t be afraid to chat with me out of character!!! :)

They trained you, huh?” It was ironic to Sasuke. Being trained to hate and born into hatred, how different as the color of their hair. Having lived his entire life in loathing outside of his own will, he couldn’t imagine being forced that way. He can say that now, after living his life, but he’ll can’t doubt he’d be any different than Zenjiro, had it been all the same.
The smile was horrific. Beautiful and serene with unadulterated feelings behind it, but for Zenjiro, this was a doppelganger fooling the Uchiha. 
And yet, this Uchiha smiled back. A smallish upturn of the corners with soft eyes.
Maybe you’re getting sick,” his face twisted into a forced neutrality. Don’t do that again, Sasuke scolded himself. His face hurt.
Clapping a black glove over his mouth, he rubbed the soreness out of unused muscles,” you’ve been ANBU all your life, then.

ᒥ嫌いᒧ—                     He nods, and soon he stares down at the ground. A small chuckle escapes him at the sick comment, finding it amusing. "Most of it, if you're not opposed to the violence you rise up through ranks pretty fast. Bloodshed never made me hesitate, my superiors liked that." It sounds so transactional, and it was.

"I needed the funds to survive and the higher I climbed up in ranks the easier it was to sustain myself. The system is all about who is the most obedient dog and then they're rewarded. I needed to survive and they offered me the means." Exploitation at its finest, and Zenjiro was aware his skill was being used for others' gain. It was simply how a government functioned for most of his youth.

Why was he speaking about this? Something once again compelled him to be open with the other man, but this wasn't curiosity. With a sigh, he dismisses the thought and looks to Sasuke.

Hurt Starters

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down! You don't want to get even more hurt, do you?" "Tell me where it hurts." "Whoa, that's purple… It looks like your shoulder is dislocated." "Oh my god. Are you okay?" "You're bleeding… You're bleeding bad…" "This is gonna hurt…" "Holy crap! I may not know much about human anatomy, but legs don't bend that way!" "It's all swollen up…" "You have a black eye. Were you fighting with someone?" "Okay… Okay, hospital. Hospital, now." "I think you have a concussion." "Calm down! Calm down! Your ankle is sprained, okay?" "Here, lean on me." "I'm gonna need more bandaids…" "What the hell happened to you!?" "Here, I need to clean you up. This might sting a bit…" "We need to get the bullet out…" "Oh my god, you've been shot!" "Did… did you get beat up!?" "Just hold on. You're gonna be fine…" "Look out for that car!" "Wake up! Oh god, please wake up!" "You're alive! Oh, thank god!" "I'm no doctor, but you should have that looked at. It's bleeding a lot…" "What is that? Are there bandages under your shirt?" "Why is your arm wrapped up like that? And are those blood stains!?" "You must have hit the back of your head really hard." "Look at me. Just look at me and stay awake. Can you do that?"

Hearing such things out loud instilled a perspective Sasuke didn’t know he could have. He heavily sympathized with the notion of hate — putting it lightly. “It takes one to know one,” he answered loosely, doubting that a mutual hatred of mankind is really what brought these two together. 
In his own confidence, Sasuke was sure their bond was born from something outside of their internal struggles and tortured past. Namely the unserious demeanor Sasuke carried with him when he wasn’t feeling hunted by every elite and former friend he had in the village. It was easy with strangers, well, formerly stranger now.
Friends?” he repeated back to him like he was hearing Zenjiro through the downpour of rain. “Hm.
I used to recoil at the usage of that term,” he started, eyes now focused on the redhead next to him,” it doesn’t sound so bad coming from you.
Am I finally moving on? He thought in passing, praying to Amaterasu it was both true and untrue. He’d hate to lose his last bit of ferocity. 

ᒥ嫌いᒧ—                     "Its that easy, huh?" Zenjiro is smiling some, chuckling even. "They trained me to be a cold, calculated killer for years...I didn't think it was easy to make friends. I wasn't expected to have many, actually." Something about bonds holding back potential, and he believed it for the longest time.

"But the times are changing," He often felt like he was the last of his kind, a true shinobi bred for war stuck in an era of growing peace. "So maybe I should, too, y'know?" Zenjiro looks to Sasuke, offering a genuine smile. "I think this is a good start. Making a friend."

His features then contorts into something more like disgust, and he turns to look out over the scenery before them. “I’ve never said something so cheesy and sappy like that before, gross...”

“Well I couldn’t just let you collapse from exhaustion now could I?” Ino said, finishing up with the healing. “You must have been working hard on something to have been in such a state.” She added. 

ᒥ嫌いᒧ—                     The Uzumaki grumbles to himself, then speaks aloud. "Its just training, you don't grow stronger if you don't push yourself a little further each time." He might as well just shout that he's an overachiever.
