#third mizukage

[starcry-the-wolf]

Stained glass with the Seven. =)

By the way, I accidentally forgot Jinin and realised it only when I was almost done. Well... good work. x) Let's pretend it was Jinin who did this stained glass. I didn't mean to forget him and I'm truly sorry (might draw something with him later).

And yes, it's Yagura' silhouette on the second version.

Okay, look, I've been hyperfixated on Naruto on-and-off for a decade now and I am still not over the utter neglect that the series' background characters suffer. So many of them have such interesting character designs and a considerable amount of thought put into their names, only to receive the barest amount of context. And I can appreciate the attempt to flesh out the world and make it seem wider, more alive, etc., but creating fanworks based on a skeleton of what-could-have-beens hurts sometimes, hhhhhhhngh.

Kishimoto-sensei. When I catch you, Kishimoto-sensei—

a non-exhaustive list of Yagura headcanons

(because im having a Time)

big sweet tooth. keeps sweets and candies hidden away in little pockets in his little. poncho thing. what do u call that.

very childish, even in adulthood; this could be attributed to making up for the childhood that he didn't really get to enjoy from ages 9-25.

the Karatachi family was a decently well-known crime family from a small island about a day's boat trip from the main Kirigakure island known as the land of sea glass. Yagura was sent to the main island as a gesture of good faith to the Mizukage.

the third Mizukage took a liking to Yagura's curiosity and ruthlessness in battle/training, and took him as his student when Yagura graduated the academy. Yagura was 9 and Sandaime was 61.

upon Yagura having Isobu sealed inside of him (age 13), Sandaime put him under intense training to get perfect control over the bijuu.

around this time is when Obito set his sights on Kirigakure; seeking out the new sanbi jinchuuriki, Obito cast his genjutsu as soon as he'd gotten word that the new jinchuuriki had achieved perfect status. this took two years, and Obito cast his genjutsu on Yagura early in the same year Yagura would turn 15.

Yagura is generally credited with dealing the killing blow to the Sandaime, however it's extremely murky territory due to the genjutsu.

he was a lot more lively once the genjutsu was broken; it was largely there to keep him complacent and to keep him, primarily, under Obito's control so that Yagura could do his bidding whilst Obito was elsewhere.

Yagura was held under the genjutsu for 9 years, and had around 5-6 years to play catch up before he was ultimately killed in battle at age 30. this 5-6 year "free time" is when Yagura unified the islands of the Land of Water.

Just some rant...

You know it had never fully bothered me that I trend to hyperfocus on “insignificant” things of “vague” stuff whatever, probably because I never acknowledged it until now.

But dude, trying to get all my adult work done and can’t stop think about Kirigakure lore and why the third Mizukage had pearls in his head while I’m attending to meetings and replying emails fast so I can start my research...

In other news...I may had started working on a theory of those stupid pearls

End of rant

[ofrolysdogs]

[ headcanon that the seven ninja swordsmen weren't actually meant to be ruthless but like guardians for kirigakure until further down the generation people had more ruthless intentions because kirigakure became poorer and poorer and instead of protecting the village they only protected themselves and started killing people that they saw as a threat. ]

[ another headcanon that kirigakure's clans didn't have clans that possessed kekkei genkai unless it was the hozuki, and like other clans the hozuki were attacked and killed off because they feared their hydrofication jutsus, and they were actually planning on overthrowing the second mizukage because he was a hozuki and mu's fight with him was a set up thing to get him killed off and the third mizukage was planning it all along for him to be the next mizukage because he personally despised the hozuki clan so uh.... THAT was a very long and wild explanation but hopefully it makes sense. ]
