“Now what?”

Seriously. What was it this time?

It’s not like she can’t do that too. And in fact, she does.

“Do you need something?”

Chunky Monkey: a names, addresses, nicknames, etc. headcanon.

ㅤItachi is not really one for nicknames. And not really for any special reason? He likes to address someone by their [given] name, on the one hand because it's respectful and, on the other hand and at a more subtle level, because it reinforces their identity as indeed a person — which... may not seem like anything that special but, in a world where most shinobi are treated like tools, subtleties like this can make a difference.

ㅤRegardless, he's not against nicknames either! In fact, if the person is comfortable with them, it's something cute that he enjoys. For example, when referring to Sasuke, it can vary from 'little angel' to 'unstoppable menace', depending. As a curiosity, he is also fond of teasing loved ones by comparing them to any animal that reminds him of them — again, in Sasuke's case, a good example would be to compare him to a grumpy cat during certain occasions.

ㅤAs for himself... Itachi also doesn't really mind if others come up with nicknames for him. Disregarding the more tragic ones like 'clan killer' and all that because that's a whole other headcanon in itself. For example, when he was promoted in the ANBU, a lot of his co-workers and team operatives would affectionately call him Baby Captain due to his age. And it also wasn't unusual for him to be called Weasel even when the porcelain mask was not in place.

“Why do you have a plushy of me?”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Your friends are friends with me, too. That means we're just friends once-removed, right?" he says, asking innocently. "We could be friends, couldn't we, Sasuke?"

How would Tsunade treat Sasuke if she learnt the truth about the Uchiha Massacre?

There is a lot to unpack there.

Tsunade's views about the Uchiha take after her grandfather's ideology. To her, the Uchiha name denotes trusted allies.

Growing up, Uchiha Kagame was a figure she would often encounter. My forever ago interaction with @blurredsharingan's Kagame led to my headcanons that the man was the first encounter young Tsunade had with the Uchiha clan and his friendly approach towards a toddler Senju princess made Tsunade very fond of the nin.

This fondness led to her being friendly with all Uchiha's she encountered as she grew up. They were commands. Friends. Men and women who had her back out in the battle field. People she experienced the horrors of war with. People she bed for and bled with.

Any clan related jibes were always only for fun and amusement - with the sentiment of light heartedly mocking the animosity their ancestors had clung onto.

Then came the fact that on Uchiha Fugaku was on the same gennin team as her brother (HC shared with @fire-hearted-father-blog's Fugaku). Fugaku had the natural talent to make the Senju princess want to match his constant deadpan. Following Nawaki's death, their interaction was limited but each time they crossed paths, Tsunade's sole focus was to annoy the stoic Uchiha. She got a ridiculous amount of amusement out of her attempts. They clashed a lot but Tsunade had a lot of respect for the man and his talent.

The news of the massacre had hurt her - she'd lost friends. Allies. People she had grown up with. It had shaken her a lot. Until her return to Konoha, she'd not faced the reality of what had happened. It was a tragedy of horrendous magnitude.

If/when she finds out about the planned Uchina coup - she wouldn't have been surprised. She'd never understood, nor accepted the discrimination the Uchiha's had faced. She regrets not having done anything to change that. Another regret fates bestowed upon her.

How she would treat Sasuke - as the last of the Uchiha's, she would understand some of his feelings as she herself is the last of an old shinobi blood line. Officially she would have treated her as any other nin. Outside of her official role, she would have tried to show him the respect she had for his lineage. I believe if Orochimaru hadn't fucked things up, she would perhaps had a chance to instill in the Uchiha the same loyalty many of his clan members had towards the idea of Konoha.

I believe there was the possibility of a tentative friendship there.

Bonus: One of my favorite HC's shared between me and my main Sasuke is that Tsunade and Saskue end up forming the most bizarre friendship following the war. It shouldn't have worked with all that has happened and the generational gap. Most of it is snark and jabs shared between the two with the seediest bars as the background but each encounter just so happens to be something both look forward to. He always seeks her out for advice - the fool. She tries to play the wise sage (pfffft) and gives him the best advise she possibly can but its always shit and yet the idiot trusts her (WHY?) to go through with it and always end up in trouble. Still he always comes back for more.

Deidara chewed his lip in frustration when he realized he was being tuned out.

"...And then I killed your brother," he added, deciding to change the topic out of nowhere with a fun, hopefully provoking, lie.

“You need to get laid.” (Kakashi)

There's a pause, then: "Thanks, Sasuke, but I think I can handle my own social life."

[konohagakurekakashi]

“I’m itching to kill you.”

My, my...you always have such warm sentiments for your old sensei, Sasuke-kun. If you keep this up, people might start to think that you're serious.

@chidoricry asked:

Sasuke proceeds to drag his brother by the ear. “You’re coming home for your birthday. Oka-san is expecting you.”

Amidst the rush of gathering last-minute supplies for his party and reconnecting with familiar faces from school, Itachi had lost track of time. Although his mother had urged him to be quick, he finds himself seated on a stool, bewitched by a plate of dango. A birthday treat from one of his aforementioned school friends. It would be impolite to refuse, he reasons, mouth watering in anticipation.

“Itadakima-ouch!” A sudden jolt disrupts his reverie, drawing Itachi’s gaze to the disgruntled expression worn by his little brother. For a fleeting, yearning moment, his gaze flits back to the dango, only for his attention to be redirected as tiny fingers clamp down. “Ouch, ouch, ouch!” Before he can devise a plan of action, Sasuke tugs, and Itachi, knowing resistance could cost him dearly, acquiesces by sliding silently off the stool. “You can let go now.” The pleading falls on deaf ears and Sasuke, holding his ear hostage, continues his march of shame through the Uchiha compound. Walking while hunched is an awkward affair, so Itachi wraps a hand around a small wrist and stops, compelling his brother to pause mid-stride.

Lowering himself to a crouch, Itachi places both palms on Sasuke’s round cheeks and smiles at the distorted expression that greets him in return. “Thank you for collecting me.” Then, effortlessly, he hoists his brother up and onto a hip. His ear burns and continues to do so as Sasuke refuses to let go of it: at least until he has safely escorted his charge to his intended destination. Which is fine. At least Itachi can walk properly now.
