Sasuke’s head started to pound. Anger, confusion, hurt, despair; these emotions ran through him. His heart racing. His chest tightening. It felt as if he was drowning. The light so far away, there wasn’t a glimmer of hope that he could swim to safety. Beyond his strong emotions was a faint sense of tranquility. He would die here. That’s what his body was telling him.

He swung his head back, tilting in the chair. A loud menacing laugh sprung from the depths of his lungs. It came from the pit of his stomach. The feeling of despair. The feeling of impending doom. And he knew no other way to handle it. This went on for a fair minute.

Suddenly, the laughing stopped. He glanced at Shino through the corner of his eye. Sasuke’s smile was cold, his eyes like a dead fish.

“How do you know so much about my kid? Are you some kind of pervert?” This was said in the most lighthearted way someone with a broken spirit could muster.

Sasuke didn’t want to know anymore. This was useless. He didn’t want to be brought down by a false reality and whatever transpired in it. He just wanted to figure out a way home.

Sasuke’s laugh sent silence though the bar, it was a laugh that sent a frozen chill down the spine of even talented shinobi. A sickly feeling spread through Shino, unknowing what to do but answer the few questions he was given.

“I’m an academy instructor, I tend to know a bit about my students” came a dry and humorless reply, much like the ambiance of the entire room. Casually taking out payment from his vest he turned towards the emptiness that was Sasuke. “Let’s go get you a room for the night, we have been here long enough”

The stares from the patrons were filled with annoyance, anger and fear. All of this was being directed at Sasuke. Being well aware of this Shino wanted to leave quickly without incident, however this was no longer in his hands.

Two patrons had walked up to Sasuke, they were drunk and wanted to get a real laugh out of  him and started to make sport out of him through nasty comments.

Wait was Shino… judging her? Comparing her to Hinata? Implying Hinata is better than her? Was it simply because they were teammates that her favored Hinata? His creepy chuckle tore her from the thoughts. His words of a reminder her that the day was not over yet. If she made this horrid face for too long she’d get wrinkles for sure. So when he spoke again she was more than a little reviled. God bless this bug boy! A wide smile crossed her face as he mentioned combining their classes. She could flip the table and hug him! Instead she regained herself. “You’ll scare them into submission right?” She half joked. What else could they really do to her? They had threw mud-pies at her. Hit her with an eraser, threw sticks and leaves in her hair. How children with such short arms even managed that was beyond her.

A boastful smile appeared on Shino’s face as Ino spoke. He did enjoy being the focus of attention, he was confident that the rest of Ino’s day would go smoothly thanks to his actions.

“While I do not go out of my way to scare my students, they have been made well aware of the ‘creepy crawlies’ that exist beyond the fence. For some reason they do not seem eager to play hide and seek with me past those trees.” The most brilliant part was that, even without the risk of danger to the children the mere idea was more chilling then some empty threat of violence.

Finishing his drink Shino took out a handheld device, he started to check various things. The technological era simply did make things easier.

“We’ll walk back to the academy after you have enjoyed the deserved cream puff”, clear and concise Shino continued with his device.

Thirty one. Thirty fucking one. Yesterday, Shino was seventeen.

Sasuke was in shock. He had very few ideas as to what and how this happened, and even less answers. His heart started to race. It felt like it would certainly break his ribcage. Coma? Dumb, he would have woken up in the hospital. Genjutsu? Unlikely he wouldn’t know, and anyone who could do a genjutsu this complicated is related to him. Not exactly a threat.  Alternate dimension? He had heard stories of the power of a rinnegan, but what would the reason be?

After a few minutes of absorbing the information, running as many scenarios he could think of through his head; it finally sunk in. Gabbing about girls had so far helped him keep his calm, distracting him from the realities of the situation. In an immediate and swift movement, he banged his hand down against the bar. The wood cracked in half. His fist stuck between splinters.

Sasuke looked up at Shino, his sharingan reflecting in the other man’s visors.

“Where am I?” His tone was dark and serious, an extreme turn from his earlier demeanor.

Drinking, trivial conversation and friendly digging at one another, the end of all these things tonight had come. There had been a slow build up to this moment, as the wood cracked Shino barely flinched, his eyes gazing at Sasuke. Shino had never been the most compassionate, however the idea of being completely alone in a world of ‘false’ would be something of nightmares. He felt compelled to help, and intended to keep this from throwing certain people into a frenzy.

Regardless of his empathy, the sight of red along his visor agitated his entire chakra network as if responding to a surprise attack. Slowly he calmed the various insects in his body, their job was to reaffirm that everything was real. 

“You are in a bar, in a Konoha that is not the same as your own”. Despite his very frank tone, Shino struggled with finding something to say next. Taking a swig of his drink he wished for any kind of placebo effect. His starting place was beyond important and picking only one was already giving the Aburame a pounding headache.

“In this Konoha you have daughter. She is analytical, talented and above all has a gentle heart”. No context, no details. This fact was likely the most important, and without warning he would now have to process and deal with having some form of a daughter.

[windhype]

“Don’t tell anyone, alright?” She hated being left vulnerable. It churned her stomach but it couldn’t be helped, they already know what she had been trying to hide. ‘I can’t believe I have to say this…’ “I’m… trusting you not to tell anyone.” 

[pridefulteacher-blog]

@windhype

Her worn eye’s looked up at him, empty and void from sternly fooling those around her. Shino could do little else but silently nod.

He had first seen her in the simple streets of Konoha, Temari after all stood out among the crowd. She clung to styles that reminded her of her village, her home. However there was distress in her eyes, her movements ‘odd’ and her steps uneasy. The signs were all there, he had seen them before.

In moments a huge commotion occurred in the shopping district as bugs descended above all, causing shrill screams of shock and awe as they spread. No trace was left at the scene as the moment had briefly taken her unconscious, her mind beyond exhaustion.

She awoke in upon a soft mound of dirt, in a special place rarely visited by a stream, It was the best he could do for her while not drawing attention.

Having ensured her hydration the majority of words were left unsaid.

‘Trust’, such a thing did not exist naturally between the two. They only knew one another indirectly, what kind of bond did these two share?

Shino nodded silently, his face relaxed as he looked gently into Temari’s worn eye’s, a sense of defeat upon them.

‘Healthy dating life’ she laughed a little too freely. “I never thought of it that way. I’ve just always thought I would have children.” That’s right she never considered not having children yet she hadn’t considered her clan forcing her into a marriage either. Who would they have forced me to marry? She wondered.  Ah well such thoughts didn’t matter now. “Well I’m glad you’ve been able to handle the children.” Who would’ve thought Shino - of all people would become an academy teacher?

When he mentioned Hinata’s name she winced at the thought. That poor girl, could she handle it ? “It would be quite the experience for Hinata, has she done it before?” Kurenai though, she had a way about her. I wonder if she could put the whole class under genjutsu and just make them behave silently for the whole day. Why didn’t she have any cool jutsu like that. “I think I need a Cream Puff for surviving the day.” She pulled a leaf from her hair and set it on the table.

Ino’s reaction was predictable, Hinata however had long since overcome the ordeals of an ordinary substitute teacher. “Multiple times, we sometimes stood in for a teacher together back when we were teenagers” Shino remarked before reaching casually reaching into one of his inner pockets, he produced a thick comb that he slid across the table without any discussion.

Why did Shino have such a comb? The obvious answer was because his hair needed to be teased if his unique hairstyle was to be maintained. Shino also was confident that Ino would as one of the many blessed mothers discovered that with a skilled Aburame working at the Academy, cases of head lice were completely eradicated.

“Hinata is not a very strict teacher even now, however being able to see the entire classroom naturally has a way of stopping most types of shenanigans” Although in saying that Shino did recall the first time Hinata had frighted a young boy with her byakugan, which caused her to become an absolute mess after the day was over.

With a slightly dark chuckle Shino forcibly reminded Ino of an inevitable fact. “I do hope that you will return to the academy, as the day it is only lunchtime” quickly Shino moved to relive the agony that Ino was likely feeling.

“I’ve already asked to combined our classes in the afternoon. Practical stuff outside, basic shruikdn skills and finally hand to hand combat” he paused to enjoy his drink, not barraging Ino with information.

Baking with a Friend || with byakubaby

@byakubaby

Shino had simply missed one of the most important memo’s in his teaching career, one that if ignored could make it look as if he did not care for the student body as a whole. Tomorrow was the school bake day and certain faculty members were obligated to participate. Shino had presumed that only students would be making tasty treats, but instead he had been selected to participate. Information he received last minute from a well meaning teacher.

When it came to making food Shino was able to follow very basic recipes. In saying that, he rarely made anything sweet.

With time against him Shino, quickly went to the store to gather supplies; before heading towards Hinata Hyuuga’s home. Shino truly hated imposing, his face was stricken with guilt as he essentially leapt through the village to get one of his closest friends to help with his last minute homework.

Shino knocked on Hinata’s front door, his palms pushed together, ready to earnestly apologize and explain the ‘great’ dilemma he was in.

He truly wanted to truly impress and be accepted by his faculty peers, even within simple school events. The Academy was where he saw his future. The slightest lack of effort may keep him in dreaded the role of ‘substitute teacher’.

[pridefulteacher-blog]

Mun question: What is something you would change about the canon portrayal of your muse?

Thank you for the question.

I feel that Shino has little time to show much of his character. My main issue with his canon portrayal involves his lack of development or arc.

Shino lacks any real ‘goal’ even an unrealistic one, such as for example Kiba becoming Hokage which is later developed in being a protector of the village. Shino wishes to be remembered, to have an impact on the people around him, instead he is relegated to dreaming about kaiju bugs.

This is somewhat corrected in anime fillers as Shino (and team eight as a whole), have three filler episodes that highlight their growth as a team. 

In Shino’s case he is shown to be closed off from his teammates  and trying to take his own burdens without help. The knowledge of just how deep a bond he holds with Hinata and Kiba is shown by Shino by the end of his arc. He begins to feel that he does not truly need to make a name for himself out of a great actions but instead protecting his friends and making smaller changes.

The novel also helps his portrayal and gives him the push to become a teacher, however I do not find it as a core dream of Shino simply a strong way to achieve another dream.

Being hit by the eraser hadn’t saved her from the bigger game. Though that theoretically made a whole lot of sense to her. She did her best not to laugh when he mentioned insecticides. He probably hadn’t found the idea very amusing. “Sounds like a lot of work, I had no idea how much went into being a teacher. Did you ever consider having kids of your own?” Maybe that was too personal, well too late now. Iruka-Sensai never have children either. They probably had enough of the little monsters in class, why would they want to bring that home.

That was a cruel joke, well if Shino even knew he was doing it. That small pause that seemed like minutes. “Oh, that’s good.” Thank heavens. If they had asked her to teach tomorrow she might of cried herself to sleep. There was no way she could decline. “Oh yeah,” It was good thinking if these kids pulled what they did on her to another poor soul… “Who’s filling in tomorrow?” Yes, who would that poor soul be.

There was little thought put into asking an innocent but personal question by Ino, which was generally the case. It was a question that was very common however, he was past his twenties and did not even have a stable women in his life.

“It was often considered, however without a clan bloodline forcing me into fathering an heir I see no reason to without a true relationship” 

Of the desires Shino had, having children was not a priority. After all he was assured to be the uncle of more children he could handle. Although it seemed Kiba would not be joining him in a life as a permanent uncle.

“In contrast, have you been able to ever imagine yourself without a child in the past? It is curious to think that certain clans traditions required your team to ensure to have a healthy dating life” 

“As for the new replacement it is either Hinata or Kurenai-sensei, both have agreed” He was confident that either one would put the class on a comfortably short leash.

Ino left out a soft sigh, “Welcoming…suuuure.”  She really wanted to agree with his statement but she was just not convinced.“How does one, say… counter being pelted with an eraser?” She leaned forward seeking the magic answer. How would you do it, hmm? It must of happened to him before, kids always got creative with their eraser tricks. Naruto had nearly been a master of ideas himself. Shino sure had changed a lot since they were young.

“Y-yes… the courtyard.” Her eyes looked away from his. She would leave out the part where a group jumped the fence and ran off into the forest. “I wouldn’t say teaching is my specialty.” She said with a nervous laugh. The fun with the erasers was just the beginning of her mess filled day. “The normal teacher will be back tomorrow, right?” Please, please say yes!

The magical eraser, the first and most tenacious of enemies of a teacher.

There were many strategies to countering such a foe, the use of clones or scouting tactics proved useful for sneak attacks. 

“Sometimes it is best not to counter the eraser, this is because restless children without a success will move onto bigger game” he explained, ignoring the fact that he tracked every eraser in his classroom with pheromones, both ensuring to never be caught unaware and to have a ‘psychic’ ability of finding the culprit.

“Children after all are curious creatures, there may never be an end to new ideas to reveal certain secrets, however plans that involve various insecticides are the most unoriginal.” 

“We do not know if she will be feeling well by tomorrow” Shino stated matter of frank, deciding to enjoy his drink for a moment to watch his exhausted friend squirm for just a few moments longer with the weight of his role.

“However we do have another substitute scheduled to take her place, because it is unreasonable to ask for multiple days from one person out of an entire village”

3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don’t have any, is there a reason?

An Aburame’s body is not one that often would gain singular significant scars, but multiple wounds.

This is due to the hidden techniques allowing the kikaichu to leave their bodies through sweat glands. Therefore Shino’s body can often look sore with after intense battle.

However due to the majority of insects leaving through his arms there are many dark wounds along them.

4.) How vain is your character? Do they find themselves attractive?

Shino is not particularly vain in his opinion. He does however feel that his overall appearance is above average.

Sasuke hated talking to men. It was all the same. How to woo and no actions. Incredibly boring. They had a plethora of unanswered questions, and all Shino could talk about was getting his dick wet. Sasuke conviently ignored that he, infact, started this conversation and continuted to egg it on. That was simply not worth remembering.

He looked at the visors currently worn by the older man. Was that in style now? What were they even for? Did they do anything? Now that Sasuke thought about it, he noticed a ton of strange gadgets around town. Was this the future?

“Hinata, Sakura and Ino. I wouldn’t call any of them smart for being so evasive. Hinata is in love with Menma, dumb, his clan sucks and he’s stupid. Sakura is to serious for her own good…” he paused for a second, looking around the bar for eavesdroppers. “And Ino is evil.”

He paused for another second, not wanting to give Shino time to respond before a question of his own. “How old are you?”

Listening to the short list of ‘evasive’ women Shino, had quite a few new questions ‘Who is Menma?’, ‘What about Tenten?’, ‘Exactly how evil was Ino?’

Before anything else could be said, the young Uchiha’s patience finally broke.

“Thirty-One years old”

There was no hesitance or reluctance in Shino’s voice, this boy wanted answers and the time for civil calm had clearly passed.

“It may come as a shock, but this...reality is long after the fourth shinobi war. It has been long enough for the members of our class to no longer be the current generation.” 

They adult’s now, with children of their very own to take care of. 

“I am certain there are many things you desire to know. However do not feel rushed, because I will ensure that you are remain comfortable until you are able to return”

There was no way of knowing anything about traveling between certain realities, however this could not be a completely isolated incident.

Because there was no such thing.

30 Days of Character Development

1.) Describe your character’s relationship with their mother or their father, or both. Was it good? Bad? Were they spoiled rotten, ignored? Do they still get along now, or no?

Shino’s father (Shibi Aburame) was very protective both by his own nature and the painful truth that Shino was one of the last ties he had to his wife.

Neither one talked openly about themselves. Shino felt that his dad both believed and respected  his ability as a shinobi, but there was very little in terms of nurturing given to Shino, keeping to his own areas of the house and communicating in necessities rather then idle conversation.

 Later in life Shibi and Shino have bonded closer, however the dynamic between the two did not change to a great degree, both comfortable with such a relationship.

If Shino truly needed a parent he knew where to find his father.

2.) What are your characters most prominent physical features?

Shino’s height in particular comes to mind which along with his manner of clothing leads to a very clear and distinct impressions.

Ino had been delighted to substitute at the academy. The idea of nostalgia and fond memories of being there. That’s what she hoped for. Would she find a mini Ino? Which one is most like me, when I was their age? The day went nothing like she expected. Ino had never felt so much peer pressure in her life. A room full of tiny eyes begging her to go on a ‘outdoor excursion’. Which was really just their ploy behind a secret plan to run amuck.  

Ino entered the bakery ten minutes late looking a mess. White dust clearly visible on her dark purple skirt. Evidence of being smeared various places with mud. A small twig and leaves visible in her hair. “I didn’t forget.” She assured him, melting into the seat across from his. “Don’t judge me,” He probably wasn’t. ”Those kids are little monsters.”

Shino smirked upon the sight of the messy Yamanka, children never respected a substitute teacher no matter how strong willed, kind or battle hardened. 

“There is no need to worry, because being ten minutes late is an achievement as a substitute teacher” he assured.

“Kids truly have spectacular minds, they do not doubt for a second the impossibility of achieving their goals, often uniting against their teachers. Such spirit is beyond welcoming..” Shino began to fondly speak 

“...after you have learnt how to counter them without feeling like a villain”

Calmly and with a smile, he asked the muddy blond the inevitable question.

“So you clearly enjoyed being the liberator of the class, with little eyes wide and ready to explore the outside courtyard?”

Sasuke ordered another drink and winked at Shino.

“My advice isn’t free.”

He waited a few momments for his drink to be served before continuting. Sasuke took in the sights and smell of the lowly bar. This was still the same. His favorite seat was still there, the chair in the corner still only had three legs. Just like always it faintly smelt like dispair and lonliness. Everything felt just like home, he’d be hard pressed to belive it wasn’t home.

Clearly Shino wasn’t interesed in divulging about this world, but Sasuke had no better leads. The best plan of action would be entertaining this man until more information could be gathered.

Sasuke sighed, at least it wasn’t someone as exasperating as Neji.

“Mystery is a given. I’m an Uchiha, just the name is enough to put chills down someones spine,” Sasuke said. Putting on his classic charmer smile. He wasn’t interested in letting Shino know how worried he was over the situation.

“It’s not hard. Woman love words, a few compliments, a little charm, they become puddy,” Sasuke twirrled the straw in his drink, “It’s sad really, few woman are a challenge.”

He looked at Shino through the corner of his eye. “Although you couldn’t really understand, even the looses of woman would be a challange for you,” he said shrugging.

Watching the young Uchiha, Shino felt a slight sense of wariness. It was a feeling that was well justified in this situation. There was a desire in Shino to discuss this Sasuke’s past or for Shino to try and explain the situation of this him.

He however did not want to come off aggressive and continued casual conversation.

“The Aburame name on the other hand, involves a lot of questions and alienation in the eyes of the dating world”. It was an honest truth, as many people thought of many ill incorrect ideas about their insect filled bodies.

“I think you would find I do understand flirtation. Despite a terrible handicap, I have gotten along with women in the past” True there was absolutely no girl in his life right now, but he had at least been in relationships in the past; short and bittersweet relationships.  

“There is one other thing, you clearly have no respect for a woman who is easy to woo, therefore question is which ones are smart enough to reject your advances? One of them must be more than a simple woman to you”.

The lunchtime bell had rung and Shino stood there waiting for his class to leave with a smile, regardless of the class he taught there was never a need to remind anyone what the bell after class meant, only the ones before.

Being a teacher was quite a different from where Shino would have imagined himself be when he was a child. He had found however that he cherished the moments students would look up to him for advice or seeing delight at the first clone jutsu. Such moments were of great importance, of great impact despite not changing the world drastically.

But the ability of a teacher to impact their students was more powerful then most would ever know.

Putting his class materials in a sealed compartment, Shino left the classroom. 

Today a member of his own class was helping fill in for a sick instructor, as a thank you Shino had insisted that he take her to lunch.

Using his past experiences Shino had chosen a quaint bakery nearby which was known to also serve tea and coffee. He had reasoned that it would be nice for Ino to be invited someplace that was not the BBQ house.

Sitting down Shino ordered a melon tea and waited for Ino to join him. Calm and collected Shino’s main concern, as always, was that they would have nothing to talk about. 

However unlike in the past he was not anxious about this, he had matured,  just like everyone else.

Well that’s dumb. Sure, Shino suddenly looked 15 years older, but maybe he just didn’t take care of his skin. Not everyone could be blessed with a beautiful young face.

Sasuke tilted back, looking at the celing. He supposed it was less dumb than other options. Although living in a world where Shino wasn’t a failure was a werid one. His brain moved on to more important questions. He had thousands of things he was wondering. What was he like here? Menma? Itachi? His parents? His eyes shifted to Shino. His drinking companion didn’t seem keen on answering his questions.

His serious expression changed into a cunning smile. “So Shino, from what I gather, you’ve never seen the skill of an Uchiha.” Sasuke didn’t know what ‘the other Sasuke’ was like, but surley he was just as handsome. There is no way he could have gone through life unloved. “Woman are woman, they love a pretty face. I know you can’t understand, but try to imagine

.”Never, not even once” Shino replied curtly and with a smirk continued. 

“In fact none of my friends had talent for impressing a women, so I am intrigued exactly what kind of talent you think you have, if any at all”

Shino was honestly very doubtful that this teenager knew anything about romance or intimacy. His boast compared to that of Kiba’s. Loud, obnoxious and heavily exaggerated in scope.

“Women are also ‘known’ to love a little mystery. However I’ll be patient, waiting for you to tell me something about women I somehow do not already know”
