                                ❛    THANKS  I’LL  TRY  TO  REMEMBER  THAT  FOR  THE  NEXT  HOST  —    ❜    he  sneers,  trying  his  best  to  bite  his  tongue  yet  it  does  not  hold  the  VENOM  seeping  through  his  teeth.  he  knows  there  will  be  no  OTHER,  he  will  not  be  bound  to  any  one  side  from  naruto  &  kurama  preferred  it  this  way  –  not  because  they  were  FRIENDS,  but  because  the  boy  provided  suitable  taste  in  chakra  ;  that  was  all.  a  frown  stemming  on  his  porcelain  like  face  as  he  threw  but  bitter  words.

                                                   ❛    i’m  no  ones  pet,  &  if  you  do  not  wish  of  me  to  make  a  pet  out  of  YOU,  i  suggest  you  hold  your  tongue,  tanuki.  i  do  as  i  please,  i’m  not  bound  as  you  are,  bound  to  wonder  aimlessly  in  search  of  someone  who  gives  a  shit.    ❜    he  spat  harshly,  crimson  opals  wide  with  annoyance  –  even  in  this  form  he  was  plenty  strong,  his  body  but  a  fake  yet  it  held  enough  power  to  destroy  a  country  if  he  so  pleased.

     “Hey, hey, hey--!! I never said I needed anyone to give a shit, let alone you, you stupid fox.” Oh, this was perfect. Shukaku was relishing in Kurama’s souring mood, and he’d stay on this track as long as possible. “The only bound one around here is your fuzzy ass -- I’m free of Gaara and I can do whatever I wanna.”

     He snickers, single tail flicking back and forth like a pleased feline’s. “The second Naruto needs you.... Poof!! No more Kurama to bother the great me!!”

“the only thing i’ve ever been in trouble for is listening to music when i shouldn’t have been. other than that i’m a perfect daughter.” and maybe a little reckless and carefree– but whatever. she jumps, pushing chakra through her feet to a more safe place before jumping behind him. “–that was rude. here i am, trying to be your friend and you just push me away.” dusting herself off from the sand that had collected on her, “do you really want to make a fool out of yourself, today, shukaku-san?” 

     What a stupid little girl, thinking that Shukaku had actually tried. ‘Sunagakure’s Hope’ she may be, Yodo was little more than a single grain of sand compared to Shukaku’s desert of chakra. He could crush her in a second if he wanted.

     It was then that he’d forgotten his promise to Gaara, his tail flicking with the intent to send her flying the moment the kunoichi decided her best course of action was to place herself in his periphery. “I told you to get lost.”

     sunagakure

     Per the Naruto Wikia: “In Gaara Hiden, it was noted that the village's strange, sunken terrain is not thought to be natural, which, during the time of myths, was thought that it might be the result of a god, such as Susanoo or Amaterasu, using a technique beyond human knowledge.” (reference image here)

     Although Shukaku won’t admit to the act, it was its own power that created Sunagakure’s unnatural terrain. What used to have lain in the village’s current placement had been an ancient plateau during Shukaku’s time as a newborn Bijuu. After the Sage of Six Paths sent Shukaku to guard the temple in the desert just before his death, Shukaku became frustrated beyond belief once discovering Hagoromo had died.

     Shukaku had nearly destroyed the temple it had guarded, but refrained under the sole pretense that it would continue to follow in the Sage’s wishes for it. Its frustration then focused on what had been the terrain’s only noticeable landmark -- the massive plateau in the distance. Shukaku had sent a Bijuudama in the plateau’s direction with the intent to destroy it completely, only to later discover it hadn’t completely destroyed it, but instead had made the crater that would later become Sunagakure.

     “Give it a try sometimes. ‘S more fun when they don’t sleep.”

     “Though... Now yer just Naruto’s little bitch, ain’t’cha? Gotta cute little collar and everything?” Never one to miss and opportunity to rile the fox, Shukaku’s gaze narrowed accusingly at Kurama’s fall from the fearsome Nine-Tails to the Hero of Konoha’s tame pet.

     That’s not to say Shukaku wasn’t also on that level -- he’d come to Gaara’s aid in a moment should it be asked of him (perhaps with more than a little complaining), but at least he wasn’t still tied to a host. Even he could tell this wasn’t actually Kurama, but merely a cheap imitation that did the fox’s bidding.

     “Does he even know you’re all the way out here?”

“–do you really want papa pissed at you for killing his precious daughter? his only daughter? his daughter who does no wrong– ever?” 

     “I don’t even think Gaara would believe that shit. Get the fuck outta here, ya shit.” With little warning Shukaku gave a wave of his hand that anyone would have thought familiar had they fought his former host. Sand from the village’s pathways collected and formed a small wave that would easily carry the girl back to where she belonged.

     “I think the more important question is how you found me lookin’ like this. The point isn’t to be found by brats like you.”

     Grin pulls wide across the tanuki’s expression, sharpened canines glinting before screeching laughter bellowed from his gut. “Oi, oi, oi--!!! Don’t go pretending like you were any better, shitty fox!!”

     A near dreamy sigh fell past his lips, one clawed hand cupping his own cheek as if he was reliving the very moment. “I almost miss it... Hearing poor, innocent Gaara cry and scream as if I gave a shit about what anyone thought of him as..!!” Another bout of ear-piercing cackling follow quickly, both of Shukaku’s arms wrapping around his middle to steady himself from toppling to the ground. “You did the same to Naruto--!!”

     “Oi, brat. Th’ hell’re you doin’ back here -- go back to your old man already. You said I was lame, ya little shit.”

     Regardless, clawed fingers reach out with surprising delicacy to pluck the treat off the ground and toss it back into its mouth, basket and all.

her eyes widen as she shifts in the sand when he stands, and despite everything, she finds herself swallowing. okay, okay, she gets it. she's /too/ young to understand anything. standing she dusts herself off and pulls the hood back over her face to hide her expression of disappointment. "--that's fine. this is lame anyways." she can be a brat too.

     Shukaku huffs, its massive form then beginning to turn in order to head back toward the temple.

     “So’re you, ya brat.”

     Perhaps it was better she leave anyway. Shukaku was a beast, a monster not to be trusted with someone that could so easily be killed in its presence. A missed step, a casual stretch or a lazy flick of its tail and she would no longer be in this life.

     At least Gaara wouldn’t have to give it that lecture.
