“Do you dare me to try and stuff as many marumochi as I can in my mouth?” Why ask Sasuke this? ... Honestly, she had just caught sight of him, and therefore decided to make him her accomplice. “I can do it. I’ve seen people stuff thirty in their mouths before! I’m gonna beat them, just you watch~” And despite the question she asked him... she already had an arsenal of marumochis on a plate. “Can you hold the plate for me? It’d be easier for me so I won’t have to lean over and stuff~” And possibly choke. But there was no need to worry the Brave of Grass.

Well. Not yet anyway.

Sasuke-kun, how old were you when you came to live into Ueda castle? did you get along with Rokuro and Yukimura instantly or it took you some time? :) you must have been a lovely child!!! XD

“I don’t know,” Sasuke replied honestly. Being an orphan who’d been abandoned in the woods, no one knew exactly when he’d been born. It was the younger Sanada brother who had surmised his age, based mostly upon the young boy’s appearance. “Yukimura-sama says I was about four or five,” he answered almost apologetically, wishing there was some way he could give a more accurate answer.

As for how he’d gotten along with Rokurou and Yukimura... Fairly well he’d like to think, especially for a young boy who’d grown up in the woods for the first however many years of his life. The language barrier was the most difficult thing to overcome. Rokurou—who was about fourteen at the time—and Yukimura—around twenty—took turns attempting to teach the forest child how to speak Japanese.

“I liked them,” Sasuke smiled slightly, thinking back on those memories, “I knew they were good people.”

As for being a lovely child, well… he wasn’t so sure about that. He distinctly remembered the young page’s exasperation at some of the creatures he would bring into the castle. His lord usually just laughed at the incidents. Seeing an owl perched on the young boy’s shoulder or a fox trailing at his side as he explored Ueda Castle was really quite a sight after all.

incest

Scale:

fuck no | no thanks | eeeh | not sure | I’d give it a shot | sure why not | omfg yes | there go my pants | holy fuck take me now

It was something that wasn't uncommon in the animal kingdom so it wasn't as though the idea bothered him. However, the young man was also a bit of an orphan. He had absolutely no idea who his birth mother or father were, let alone if he had any siblings or cousins.

"It doesn't matter to me either way..."

wounded

Prompt :: Wounded

Sasuke ignored the blood that trickled down his fingers as he disentangled a small fox from a hunter’s vicious trap. He understood that people needed to eat, but to construct a trap like this, one that caused far more pain than was necessary…

It made him sick.

The creature had been terrified initially upon seeing the Grass Brave, had even snapped his jaws at Sasuke’s hand. The young man’s fingers had taken the brunt of it, the fox’s sharp teeth having nearly hit bone. Sasuke wasn’t angry, there was no way he could bring himself to be. The poor thing was scared after all, it had to defend itself somehow. Once he had calmed the fox down, he was able to speak to it and get it to listen.

It took the young man a few minutes, but he eventually managed to free the small beast, taking it up into his arms gently. Once they’d reached somewhere he deemed safe, Sasuke would patch up the fox’s wounds before taking care of his own.

friendship

Prompt :: Friendship

It was astounding to the Brave of Grass, just how stupid Saizou was when it came to certain things—important things.

Such as how weak he truly was when he wasn’t protecting another. He didn’t have half the drive or determination fighting for himself as he did when he was fighting for Isanami. People fought harder, they were stronger, when they fought for the sake of another. When you’re worried for more than just yourself, you push yourself beyond your normal limits.

Saizou didn’t want to face that fact—was scared of it to some extent—so Sasuke called him out on it. On top of kicking him into the pond.

Or when he suggested Sasuke or Kakei lead the Braves. Was the man blind for God’s sake? It was so obvious that Saizou was the force that bound them all together! It was only logical he be the one to lead them. It pissed him off that the Iga shinobi couldn’t see that.

So he kicked him and they fought once again.

That was just how their friendship worked. Sometimes Saizou had a hard time keeping things simple, but that was something the younger man did very well. And anytime the Brave of Light started to waver from his proper path, Sasuke would be more than happy to kick him back in line.

I have 2 questions for you dear Sasuke :D one, how did you meet Amaheru? and two, if you had to pick one person among the Braves to have a date with, who would you pick and why? :)

It seemed there were a couple of people interested in how he’d met his little, furry companion. Sasuke smiled briefly at the question before responding, “Ameharu was a kit when I met him. That was two years ago. He was alone, like me,” he added somewhat somberly. Sasuke had taken such a shining to the small creature, he’d decided to take him in and raise him himself. Their friendship had blossomed from there.

Upon seeing the second half of the question though, the forest child felt blood rush to his cheeks. “A—a date?? I-I… G-give me a moment!” he stuttered, floundering for some sort of composure. A date? He didn’t really have time for such things, but that didn’t do much to remedy the blush on his face.

Honestly though, out of the Braves he felt there were only a couple of choices. Isanami made the most sense to him—they were around the same age and Sasuke actually was quite fond of her. Not to mention he was always taking her through the woods to meet all the newborn animals anyway, and she seemed to enjoy it a lot. Asking her on a date wouldn’t be too much of a stretch… would it?

Anastasia briefly came to mind as well. And if he had been asked this before her betrayal, he very well might have chosen her. Her betrayal had stung though—more so than he liked to admit. He’d grown very fond of the older Brave of Ice after all their sparring and chatting. To think she’d only been acting the part… it made Sasuke’s heart ache in ways he’d never felt before.

“Isanami,” the Koga ninja answered at last, his blush having faded a little. “We are good friends,” he reasoned, “I think we would have fun.”

fear

Prompt :: Fear

The young forest child was not okay with this. He could feel his heart pounding against his ribs like a scared animal against a cage. Why had Yukimura insisted he be part of this festival again?

...

Right, he’d requested Sasuke keep an eye on the crowds. He just wished it didn’t have to be from within the middle of the dense group. He barely had room to move, let alone breathe! The young shinobi had never liked being around people—particularly large clusters of them. In fact, they kind of scared him…

But… Yukimura believed in him, and Sasuke would never disappoint the older man. He would live up to the title he was bestowed—he would be brave for the sake of his lord.

Peaceful afternoon

Prompt :: Peaceful Afternoon

Blue skies accompanied by a light breeze which carried the scent of newly-flowering trees. Everything around him was alight and bursting with so much life. Sasuke loved all the seasons, but spring had always been his favorite. Smiling contentedly, the Forest Brave settled himself against a tree, a curious, young fox curling against his side. Days like this were rare, but Sasuke was more than happy to appreciate it to its fullest.
