Kaname just physically and verbally assaulting and threatening Konoha’s golden boy in the middle of the village

I’m sure it was in no way warranted and that she deserves the bullshit that followed when his dad got upset -_-

Could you give us more context about the moment Kaname hit that golden boy in the middle of the village? 🥺🥺

Hiruzen Sarutobi had not been that interested in Kaname. She was nice to look at, but he did see her as a bit off limits, both because she was the daughter of his mentor and because she very clearly had no interest in him. Beyond very casual flirting, which was not reciprocated, he never actively pursued her. 

Not until his father started telling him to do so. Sasuke Sarutobi was both ambitious, and proud of his son. Senju Hashirama had taken no students of his own, except for the prodigy Hiruzen. It was a great honor. And he wanted to solidify Hiruzen’s future and legacy in the village by setting him up with a bride that was of Hashirama’s blood; Kaname. Sasuke’s attempts at suggesting this to Hashirama went nowhere, so he encouraged his son to go for a more direct approach. He was talented, charming, well liked by the populace of the village, and handsome, and the Sarutobi were a respectable clan, why wouldn’t Kaname like him? He just had to be diligent, really show her what she was missing.

Hiruzen was a bit hesitant, but did as he was told. 

On Kaname’s end, while Hiruzen was starting to try and court her, she was already entertaining a discreet love affair with a young Hyuga, her first love, so was understandably even less interested. But things turned notably bad when the Hyuga clan head at the time found out and disapproved of the whole thing. She forced Shigeki, as his name was, to end things with Kaname, and even brought the matter straight to Hashirama just to ensure that he understood that the Hyuga did not tolerate such brazen attempts at bloodline theft. His daughter had no power, but she was certainly not going be be allowed to to secure some for her otherwise unremarkable legacy from the Hyuga. She demanded that Hashirama ensure that this dalliance had not resulted in a this far unknown pregnancy (it had not, Kaname was very careful), and that he would keep his daughter far away from the Hyuga henceforth. They cared not for the Senju blood, and even less for Kaname's condition. The Hyuga had been slow to join Konoha, and they were proud and exclusive, knowing that Hashirama had wanted them to join for a long time and therefore felt they had the right to make demands and to insist on following their own rules and traditions before anybody else's. And Hashirama, overall, let them. They were valuable additions to the village.

So when her father reluctantly sided with the Hyuga clan head, Kaname was furious.  And Shigeki said nothing. Not a single word of defiance or defense. From that day on, he didn't even look at her, much less speak to her. At this time, Kaname did not know about the Hyuga's cursed seal and the control it granted the main branch, but even if she did, she would probably not have been able to forgive him.

Following this, Kana was steeped in fury, heartbreak, shame, embarrassment and grief. She was angry with Shigeki, with the Hyuga, with her father, with clan and village politics that once again ripped hope and happiness from her hands with no recompense. And at the same time, Hiruzen was doubling up on his charm. For a while, Kaname tried to politely tell him off, to tell him she wanted to be alone, that she was not interested. She had been heartbroken and betrayed and humiliated, she wanted space for herself, not to have another man push himself onto her. The longer it went on, the more Hiruzen could see that things were not going anywhere, and he tried to tell his father that she really didn't seem at all interested, in fact she seemed to dislike him more now than ever. But Sasuke just told him to keep at it.

Which eventually leads us to the event. A hand at the small of her back, a couple of words that were lost in the static of her blood boiling inside her as her patience ran out. The slap she delivered to the side of his face was enough to make his eye swell shut, his nose bleed and his brain rattle in his skull. She was in a state of frenzied rage, as all civility and thoughts of public image went straight out of the window.

She did not care that people watched, that in their eyes she was prowling towards Hiruzen's dazed and shocked and bleeding form with every intention of making him bleed more. She grabbed him by the collar, shaking him, screaming into his face of how she had told him a million times now to stay away from her, that she wanted nothing from him, not his compliments, not his charm and certainly not his hands on her body, how he could so daft as to not take the fucking hint.

Had Danma not been there to quickly hold her back, she may very well have continued beating him, screaming at him, until he gathered the wherewithal to defend himself. As her brother pulled her away and started dragging her away from the scene, she finished by saying that if he ever came near her, if he ever touched her again, then she would kill him.

It did not take long before Sasuke Sarutobi came furiously knocking on Hashirama's door, outraged by the attack on his son and public threat. But Kaname argued to his face, full of anger and defiance, fed up with propriety and the delicate nature of clan politics after the Hyuga ordeal, that she had defended herself when her boundaries had been violated one time too many, and all her attempts at being civil had been repeatedly ignored. She was furious, but at lest this time Hashirama stood with her. Maybe he realized that if he didn't, she may actually leave for good, fed up with the treatment she was forced to endure in this village, having had enough of him never taking her side, or maybe he actually saw this whole mess as not being her fault in any way. He firmly told both of the Sarutobi's to apologize for the grief they had caused his daughter despite her repeatedly rejecting Hiruzen's advances and giving him many chances to back off, that her reaction was more than warranted considering the circumstances, and gave Hiruzen the ultimatum of staying away from Kaname from then on or be dismissed as both his and Tobirama's student. The bare minimum. Kaname was still angry, especially as she had already told her father about Hiruzen's unwanted attention before that point, but it had changed nothing. She was mad that it had to go this far. But least she was rid of the Sarutobi nuisance at last. Sasuke Sarutobi died about a year after this, and Hiruzen stood by his promise. He did not go near her unless it was absolutely necessary and on the orders of the Hokage or Tobirama, and even after the deaths of the Hashirama and Tobirama he didn't interact with her much.

Hiruzen sarutobi harassed kaname how was the whole thing?

He only really pursued harassed her because he was doing what his father told him, but it doesn't make it less bad.

Kaname hated it, that's how it was XD Here is a post where I talk a bit about it
