When a Sunan heat wave overtakes the village, precious rains bring blessed relief.

Pairing: Rasa / Third Kazekage

Rating: Gen

Warnings: None really, though Rasa and Nadir are distant cousins, so if that is not your cup of tea, you have been duly warned.

Lifeforms, the android had called them, but they were assuredly more than that. Lifeforms that walked on two legs and carried primitive weapons and clothed themselves. Lifeforms that were looking towards her with terrified eyes, whispering words she didn’t understand, a language she didn’t understand. Lifeforms with language .

“…ah, shit.” She cursed aloud. This planet was occupied .  

And that complicated things quite a bit.

Kaguya is sent fifty years into the vacuum of space towards an unknown planet with a single goal: retrieve a powerful energy source for her people. There were not supposed to be sapient lifeforms on the planet’s surface.

She was not supposed to get attached. ((Written for Naruto Sci-Fi Week 2019, for the prompt ‘First Contact’))

@naruto-scifi-week Nov. 18 - Body Mods / Machina

“You don’t understand,” Sakura says, not for the first time. Her accent is not as polished as Ino’s. Sakura has risen out of Konoha’s lower spires on her own. Even if she hadn’t looked into the background of the apprentice of the famous Tsunade, Tenten would’ve been able to intuit Sakura is also not entirely comfortable in the higher levels of the ecumenopolis. Despite her clothing and attitude, she doesn’t seem to feel like she belongs. “The Hyuuga – no one in the galaxy messes with them. Not Iwa, not Kumo, and definitely no one in Konoha.”

“Not since the Massacre, at least,” Ino supplements cheerfully, and Tenten stifles a laugh at the expression on Sakura’s face.

“They don’t – they’re not –“ Sakura starts again, then stops herself. “They look straight into your soul, and that’s with their normal eyes.”

“Hinata is nice. A little too nice, maybe.” Ino pauses and takes a long drag of her straw until she empties her drink, then another one for good measure. The slurp is loud and unlike her, but there’s a hint of a sly smirk playing at the corners at her lips, that lingers even when Sakura stays silent (wisely, Tenten thinks.) “But really. There’s no way she would’ve left on her own.”

Body Mods | Machina for @naruto-scifi-week

Sasori wonders if his new implants will adjust correctly to his mechanical body, or if he will have to pay a friendly visit to his mech dealer.

Winter’s memories may threaten to overtake them, but they fight back and find their fire.

NOTES FOR PARTICIPANTS:

“Unpopular Opinion: I don't think Hidan should have been recruited by the Akatsuki, a religious zealot is way too much of a liability (especially with how Jashinism works). I would have loved him as a wildcard, like some kind of anti-hero/anti-villain who simultaneously helps/harms every sides >:D”

🐱: man what a great question

im gonna take a long time to answer this bc it goes deep into my hcs re: how Hidan feels about Konan and Pein in particular and the Akatsuki overall. Pls note that these are just my opinions and they don’t in any way invalidate anyone’s opinions or preferences.

Without even getting into the details of how Jashinism works, where canon is vague, it is true that the Akatsuki was based in Amegakure, where Pein and Konan were worshipped in a quasi-religious dictatorship. Any true man of god would automatically reject the thought of faith and spiritual matters being used to amass political/secular power—at least in ways that are ingenuine/manipulation. (Well-intentioned theocracies may be tolerated).

Pein made himself into a false god; Konan, just as bad, knowingly supported and bolstered that claim, making herself into the image of an angel and promoting worship of Pein and herself.

I really enjoy that they’re written like this, but it does spark a lot of antagonism between him and the Ame partnership.

Being a criminal organization, the Akatsuki itself is not the issue, in the eyes of Hidan.

It’s the dishonesty. It’s the manipulation. It’s the blatant abuse of religion to consolidate power.

To Hidan, devout and concerned with destruction—

—it’s insulting.

As the Akatsuki commits crimes under order of Pein and Konan, the hypocrisy of the Amegakure theocracy only becomes more pronounced. Hence, remaining in the Akatsuki for prolonged periods of time will eventually create some sort of cognitive dissonance for Hidan— “how can I serve these heretics?”

Once it becomes intolerable, he will leave, and because he cannot be killed, he cannot be silenced. (Except by cutting him into pieces fjdhdjfjfhdjhs)

Konan and Pein’s way of doing things is canonically opposed to his way of life. Not even taking into account the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan (which would end free will destroyed and the world being sucked dry by another false goddess), a world of peace ruled by idolators would be.... mmmph, not for him, thanks.

So, recruiting him? A big whoops.

But I don’t think Konan or Pein were thinking of this when they recruited Hidan (or for that matter Kishimoto when he was designing him). It was stated in an interview that Jashinism was supposed to have a bigger role in the original Naruto plot; it may be that in the original, Hidan was meant to defect. Or at the very least burst out of his hole like,

“Ey, heathens, it’s ya boi!”

Before wrecking havoc on the world at large lololol

He may help the good guys as a “fuck you” to those that abandoned him. Conversely he may sacrifice the good guys to his god bc that’s just the mood Jashin’s in this week. He is a zealot, as you said—has no loyalty to anyone but himself and his mission.

obligatory disclaimer: these are just my preferences and different opinions are just as valid

Hidan in canon stuck around because he was promised that once the Akatsuki controls everything, he’d be able to preach and sacrifice freely under their protection. But that makes no sense to me. Kishimoto created a character who thrived in conflict and death, who craved intense emotions and experiences. A character who was resentful towards his village for choosing peace. Someone who hated false gods and money  Hidan should curse capitalism

🐱: This is a v interesting question, thx for asking!!

Personally I hc that the Akatsuki v v rarely shares the same space together, outside of their partners. Each “senior” (most experienced) partner has their own base of operations, which the junior partner shares—though, unfortunately they are not roommates.

By equally dispersing their bases, and occasionally moving, this makes the Akatsuki as a whole a lot harder to pin down and destroy. After all one target is easier to hit than five or six or ten! (I will change this for AUs simply bc it’s easier to write them together when they have one base.)

That said, Hidan spends the most time with Kakuzu, occasionally meeting up with Sasori and Deidara when mid-range/distance fighters are needed for an operation. So he would try to recruit those people the most.

Deidara will actually pay attention to Hidan bc he appreciates the loud and bombastic, and is not nearly as stuck up as Sasori. However, he will most likely dismiss Jashinism as Hidan’s immortality contradicts his basic principle of art, which is impermanence of life. Hidan would most likely appeal to Deidara by pointing out that Jashinism celebrates the fleeting nature of humanity, and the inevitability of death.

I’d say that his chances of converting Deidara are high, but then Deidara will soon abdicate because he loses interest in the religious practices and repetition, hates praying, etc, etc. He also questions in a way that ticks Hidan off.

ONTO THE NEXT VICTIM.

Sasori is interesting bc he absolutely doesn’t listen to Hidan at first. He believes the man is loud and dumb and so is his god. But, through perseverance alone, Hidan will eventually piss off Sasori into debating the topic, in which case he will find out that they both believe in eternal things (gods/art).

I think it is more difficult to convert Sasori, but once he is converted he would remain loyal. It’s hard to tell if Hidan spends enough time with Sasori to manage this, however.

TO INFINITY & BEYOND.

Hidan would spend most of his time with Kakuzu as the man’s partner. Further, he would spend most of his efforts trying to CONVERT Kakuzu because 1) Kakuzu embodies everything Jashinism is (killing/healing) and 2) he is immortal hence worthy and 3) the poor old bastard is simply a convenient target for proselytizing and can neither escape nor kill Hidan.

Depending on your AU/ship preferences, there might be more feelings here, but at any rate Hidan is highly driven to ‘save’ Kakuzu, whether it is for himself or his god.

I don’t think he’s successful at all. The man worships money. If there is faith, it is superficial, or only used to make his own gains.
