I kinda want to see how Sunshine!Kisame would bounce off of canon Naruto chars. (even himself haha) and since I may or may not have accidentally canon reviewed a little, fun things with canon Kisame sound awesome too. That with Naruto and cross canon folks

also, can I complain about how nonsensical and messed up the timeline is? I swear it's actually contradictory of itself at points sob

I may or may not have made a Zabuza account recently... I know they have some crossover in their paths, but I honestly stopped following the story at some point in Shippuden. Always enjoyed Kisame tho.

Zabuza!!!!!!!! I love all the misties

(yeah, I have never actually finished Shippuden. Kinda stopped shortly after Kisame and the resurrected swordsmen died)

I keep thinking about finishing it lately. But this requires reading manga or reading subtitles/dodging filler. I'm aware of the resurrected swordsman stuff tho. It sounds like it got pretty buckwild at the end which... fair, I guess, for a shonen.

whoa* hello

I haven't played Neji in an age but I'm sure I could

I have my Hinata account ready to use

Neji Neji Neji!

And Hinata!

the resurrected swordsmen eps were pretty good for filler. I liked the personality they gave Ameyuri especially. (also the Kushimaru and Jinpachi ep had some adorable Kakashi and Gai moments)

/gathers all the ninja Let's play together!

yessss~~

are you putting up a musebox post somewhere, or?

Give me like two minutes

no rush I have not canon reviewed at al

but I played him for so long it shouldn't be too hard

bounces I still use Hinata for memes so I’m excited

Captcha Check

and I can write up starters for folks too!

I'd appreciate it! I'm wholly blanking on where to start. I don't remember much about Sunshine!Kisame

I'm eternally trapped in Naruto hell TBH, haven't touched my characters in a hot minute tho

Infy!!! Come play ninjas with us

DON'T FORGET YOU'RE HERE FOREVER

the swordsmen show up in boruto too so rip

I only consume my naruto content in fanfic nowdays lmao

Youkofox13 how about Mizukage visiting (since he ended up accidentally Mizukage by the end of Sunshine. He was going to give it to someone else but no one was playing Mei but it stuck) and Neji is there to be his Konoha-nin escort again?

I mean, yeah. Fanfic tends to fix the things I get annoyed about haha

oh! yes that sounds lovely

excellent! Ninjas Ninjas!

Youkofox13 boom a quick starter!

thank you@

Not sure who/what I'd do

My main was Kisame, I've got journals for Hizashi/Gai/I THINK Kisame's teacher and Lee's journals made it to DW too? I don't think Itachi/Hidan/Zetsu's journals made the jump. And Sasori never had his own journal, it was just a tester icon.

ahhh so many options! Sunshine!Kisame meeting canon Kisame would be great! and I am such a sucker for Gai and Kisame stuff. ...Hizashi and Kisame could work as an AU thing, perhaps, where Kisame gets captured by Konoha or something

any of those appeal?

Hmmm any of them could be interesting

Just forgive the rust with whatever we do, I'm definitely not attempting to canon review Properly for someone like Gai who shows up briefly a lot

That's cool! I don't mind rusty (I mean, it's been a while since I've really played Kisame so!) also, I couldn't decide so I rng'd. rng picked Kisame and Hizashi. Would you like me to put up a starter?

Sure~

Infychu unhappy Kisame for Hizashi! Poor kid just found out he'd been sold out by his teacher to Konoha. existential crisis go

F........

What was he sold out for, leaking intelligence?

well, I'm going with it as Fuguki considered Kisame as an acceptable sacrifice for his plans to get certain info to Konoha uncaught. ( also wasn't expecting Kisame to get captured alive, although Kisame tried very hard to undo that until he found out his teacher was selling things to Konoha. ...Kisame has no idea that he wasn't part of the things being sold)

though if Kisame ends up changing allegiance, Konoha gets a fucking strong ninja, and insight into the inner workings of Kiri, and its Cypher division, even if Kisame himself doesn't know any codes or truly classified info. so yes. Konoha has an interest in getting Kisame to switch sides.

...also Yondaime may or may not have felt kind of bad for the kid

Nice~

Minato just fucking galaxy braining it like "What if I justify that he's so high risk he needs Byakugan supervision, so I can hand him to the one fucking group in this village who know what it's like to be imprisoned and under near constant surveillance?"

yup XD

The pain of bouncing around trying to figure out a timeline If Kisame's 16, then Neji probably hasn't QUITE been born yet.

So he's 29 and only got a couple years left til he gets yeeted

yeah, I figure Neji is either close to being born or is like, less than 6 months.

(Naruto and the Ninetails incident seem to have happened when Kisame was 17, if one only takes ages into account)

(Minato also like "and it gives practice for dealing with a sullen teenager! also this kid needs a dad, stat"

as always, all I can offer is Tenten, both Canon and Sunshineverse.

old sunshine buddies

because while I fell off with Boruto, I never left this canon.

it was such a good game

Sunshine buddies! I also adore Tenten, and I can imagine Kisame greatly enjoying teaching her more sword stuff to add to her weapon summoning

I know I dropped the ball on the event itself, but I remember when they switched bodies.

that was so much fun

the body switch was so much fun!

and then I found this meme on bakerstreet and I'm a sucker for soulmate AUs.

god same

I will take anyone and everyone for soulmate AUs have at me!

soulmates and reincarnation are my top two faves

and they go great together!

Dammit Minato, he doesn't need your help learning to be a dad

Man yeah, those are the peanut butter and jelly of memes

shhh. everybody could use more experience!

Kisame is a very hurt and lost young man who never got to be a child right now. sorry Hizashi

/gently squishes his face

You got petty insignificant choices you can make, does that help? Yeah, he didn't think so.

not really, but, well, he kinda almost appreciates the attempt?

So freedom, much choices, he can be sad outside or at home

Woooooow

yup hahaha

but look, Ibiki cleverly kindly gave a reason for bonding over shopping?

Ffffff yes, good job IBiki

Doesn't need to be told twice what his role in good cop bad cop is.

help him pick out some nice things. maybe easy to put on with both hands in casts (was he purposely not healed to keep him handicapped. maybe a little)

Yes good~

The question is, is he allowed to heal Kisame to further build trust or not B|bb

probably a 'use your own judgement' situation

Fair enough~

(Kisame would be... confused. touched, but confused. what is kindness, can he eat it?)

Sometimes! Kindness can be snacks too.

Just imagining him like ??? over getting cooked for instead of just getting gruel slopped in front of him

or having to do it all for himself

Yuuuup

Imagine trying to chop shit with those wounded hands

hahaha sob. he'd have trouble maneuvering a spoon, much less chopsticks or knives likely

Right?

Like BRB feeding this poor guy because he can't hold silverware himself

surfaces slowly at the mention of the shark man

/Jaws theme

hahaha hello! /dangles sharkman as bait

Lunges and chomps

I am on my way to bed, but. yes. the shark man. please

yes come play with shark man yesssss. I look forward to things tomorrow

Maybe protecc?

hehe. Kisame is not sure he wants that. but he's also very willing to start fights he can't win because he's just had a really bad... indeterminate time

Yeeeeeah

Your opinion doesn't matter if it involves baiting someone to kill you, Kisame

... fair point.

he's not gonna apologize though

Teenagers, man

sometimes it just has to be that way. that's his story and he's sticking to it

Okay I'm here and awake! Should I make a starter?

You are welcome to! Or I could make one for you now that I am awake!

Sure!

I have sunshine Naoki but not much else at the moment relevant to shark man

I would adore more things with Sunshine Naoki. I loved their CR so much

Ukki what kind of content are you looking for with Hinata? AU? canon? Something else?

their cr was great. nice kid and massive scary shark man

yes, yes it was! and accidentally mentor??? Kisame was so surprised that it happened.

hmm AU while meeting kisame

any particular flavor of AU you'd like?

hmm i'm thinking she knows kisame is arriving in konoha and she ends up running into him on the street instead

cool! do you want Sunshine AU (Mizukage Kisame), or some other reason for his arrival? (I could totally do a really close to canon one, where Kisame gets separated from Itachi on their mission to capture Naruto and runs into her instead)

ooo mizukage kisame sounds like that would be fun

Mizukage Kisame it is! she could be chosen as his escort for a diplomatic visit!

yes!

ooh, could maybe be a chuunin exam related visit. I'm liking this

sunnycrow how's this?

looks great!

"Sorry you had to hurt your coworker." "Meh. I just gave him local anesthetic, that barely even counts. vv"

Kisame can hold off on feeling guilty until he has to actually stab a motherfucker or something TBH

Kisame is unfortunately traumatized enough by all his mission orders that he feels really guilty anyway. projecting, anyone?

/gently squishes his face

is there any wonder this kid is on suicide watch? nope

Nnnnnope

Kisame do they need to put off shopping so he can heal your ass B|

it's fine. he hardly even feels it. it's fine!

he deserves it

:|

:|

it's fiiiine

[x] doubt

rookadoodle would you like me to do up a starter for Zabuza?

TaoEmpress would you like me to do a starter for Tenten?

Sure, if you have an idea in mind!

How about a mission together, before either of them defected. Maybe cue realization that they're not as alone in hating everything current Kiri stands for?

oooh I like

Excellent. I shall start on a starter!

rookadoodle and starter start is this a good one for you?

I am having very decision paralysis about where to go with Naoki and Kisame

hmm, mission? training session? taking a break by petting giant shark summons?

Naoki definitely likes petting giant shark summons. the danger fish are cute

they are not cute. Kisame insists that they are elegant and sheer predatory perfection!

yes, of course. and they just happen to like having their noses rubbed.

exactly! it's not cute at all. it's deadly and beautiful

very cute fierce.

anyway. I am home from work and hoping to unwind. WingsOfCover would you be interested in me putting up a shark petting tiems starter?

It looks good! I have some canon reviewing to do, then I'm coming atcha

I'm excited!

sounds good to me. i am very tired so it won't be until tomorrow <3

okay! I'll work on it and post a link here when I get it done!

I may have gotten a little lost on paleo youtube, but a starter!

cute fierce graceful sharks

Hehehe.

i will hopefully get to the tag things. today has not gone my way

It's cool! I didn't get to any tagging today either.

im late but i still have kakashi!! sunshine kakashi too if needed

i also have The Nart, the legend, if you needed anymore main character energy

kakashiiii

kakaaaashiiii

it's been a while but he's still alive

I've been eyeing that soulmate meme, don't you worry. life adjustments have just had me really busy.

Kakashi!!!! Naruto!!!! Honestly I'd love both.

hell yeeeah i'd definitely be up for whatever you fancy!
nart is obviously more applicable to like.. everything because of the way he is, but i'm down for a thread for both of them!

kakashi just has to be lured out a bit more

confused Sunshine!Kisame wandering close to canon Konoha and intercepted by a very worried Kakashi?

also part of me wants to see how quickly Naruto can convert Kisame (because look, that's what Naruto does and Kisame is mostly only a villain because Madarabito (and I can't figure out who, honestly. why are the timelines so screwy) got to him first)

also TaoEmpress :3 at the soulmate meme hehehe

naruto conversion therapy, all the kids are doing it

i like sunshine/canon cross overs yes yes

I have ideas! starters incoming (Kisame's sharks being loyal... but not wanting him to die!!! ...and then Naruto can come in and start healing the bitterness in his heart haha)

I like the idea of everyone being born with a running clock counting down to the moment they meet their soulmate. I can only imagine how nerve-racking it would be for a shinobi.

hahaha I love it. and it would be so nerve wracking

mirobug how are this and this for starters?

I'm figuring that Naruto's later canon abilities will serve him well in finding Kisame (especially if he activated them again to get out of the trapped water prison)

also this meme called out to me haha

oooh

THESE GOOD i will reply ASAP! ♥

bear im gonna be real, i dont remember details about canon to a finite point so if i miss anything/say something wrong, pls let me know LOL

how much of my naruto knowledge was a fever dream? time to find out

I love them! and I'm kinda in the same boat. because I basically only canon reviewed the stuff that Kisame appeared in /cough

but yes, behold Kisame's sharks treating him like an unruly kid who doesn't know his manners XD

also I am so loving every thread in this post. I'm so glad I had the itch and you all said 'yes, let's!'

pfft. Kisame doesn't like this possible show of trust. he's not trustworthy dammit yes, yes he is. he just doesn't trust himself to be trustworthy yet

kisame is so smart seeing naruto letting his guard down, naruto is just like, huh? i was just trying to concentrate

he doesn't have enough brain power to do multiple things at once 8')

hahaha

oh Naruto. such a sweet idiot

so dumb.... so disarmingly dumb and willing to listen

yup. Kisame just like 'why'

so... I don't know if you saw my message on Discord but I think I decided on a different/better summons for Naoki in addition to retconning the markings

Nippy Little Mink!mink are so cute ; ;

mink are so adorable (and yeah, I haven't been on discord today so I missed it)

little water murder fuzzies

water murder fuzzies is a great way to describe them hahaha

they really are though

Such good responses! I'm loving all these threads

Also, I know how I am so if anyone is feeling awkward about time between tags, don't be! I love all tags even if they're a super long delay

i am perma slow but i am doing my best to tag at least once a day 💪

these threads are lovely im having a wonderful time

I love them so much! I'm working on replies right now

Kisame: okay, I see three options here. Either I'm in Kiri working under Mei as one of the Seven, I'm already dead, or I went rogue. (or a combination but really, those are the three main thrusts of different choices he can easily picture)

and he's pretty sure Mei would try to slaughter him him given any of those options. Kiri is so friendly!

kiri is THE holiday location, bring your kids! you won't make it home, but you sure can bring them!

hehehe!
