The long-awaited meeting with God.

Last big post for these two methinks! Mostly focused on Kakuzu this time! Because he's dead in canon so he's my oc now uwu (for legal reasons this is a joke)

Merfolk AU because I had the fun idea in May! Hideo is a red Halfmoon Betta fish and Kakuzu is a Sturgeon <3 I wasn't sure if that's what I'd go for with them, but then I started sketching and fell in love. So they now get to be lumped in with my other Merfolk!~

Werewolf!Kakuzu, which is the highest honor I can give to a character. If they get a werecreature form, they are special. Anyway, as a small gist- he's a turned wolf who was turned by stealing the heart of a werewolf, thus transferring the lycanthropy. He had amnesia the first few times, and his wolf form is absolutely feral and basically his lack of patience manifest because big boy is out to maul everyone who isn't his small vampire boyfriend. I love him v much.

My own personal version of his usual Naruto self!! Instead of threads and Earth Grudge Fear, he is an Eldritch entity obsessed with money because it's the only thing that makes him happy in this godforsaken immortal life other than, of course, Hideo. He does have a full monster form, but tbh can't be fucked to use it unless completely necessary because it uses too much energy. He's found a form that he enjoys appearing in and he's sticking with it. He's got lots of teeth and I joke that he's basically a mimic on steroids.

another part with some wips that will be in the zine about them

LMAO okay this is the funniest shit now

we do remember that neither Nagato nor Obito need money for their endgame goal, right? both of them only need the Beasts for their global pacification plan. who knows why they don't solo the verse themselves and rely on a bunch of mentally ill international renegades for that goal, maybe they're woke like that, whatever, Obito's been scratching his ass on the couch for like 16 years now, he isn't about to become more productive, and Nagato is clearly a power of friendship type of guy

here we see Kakuzu throwing a fat juicy fuck you to the Tailed Beast bit, he's on the sigma grindset, and apparently the leadership didn't do anything about that lmao?

did it go like this?

Kakuzu: I have some side hustles to do before the Tailed Beast thing, this will have to wait until the end of the quarter

Pain (and Obito spying on them from Kamui): no, Kakuzu.

Kakuzu: ...you do realize I'm just going to stop paying salaries to everyone, unionize them and all of us will go on a strike, correct?

Pain (and Obito in Kamui): okay, Kakuzu.

The administrators of that extremely early city had to keep track of lots of things, and doing this by memory alone was a nightmare. These spreadsheets were devised as a solution to that as an evolution of an earlier system that used clay tokens and balls.

i think i actually like how it turned off.
