A photo taken from a certain someone's birthday party this month. And it's still that month of March, so I'm still on time as far as my books go! Wanted to include all the members of the seven swordsmen we have knowledge of, which YES includes the two unnamed users of the Hiramekarei and Shibuki we see in the Might Dai flashback. Everybody is here! Kisame is having a GREAT time! Never mind the very late Ides of March happening in the back, this ain't about them -

Make your guesses as to who took the photo, I think it would be fun to see what people come up with in the reblogs/tags.

Version of the art unframed:

Eerie autumn night outfit, pairing a misty green kimono with flowy writings, with a chilling obi depicting pampa grass shining in the moonlight.

Halloween Batch Wave 04!

With the wild appearance of a Fenris from dragon age, and an absolutely unhinged plot for more Old Man Madara content unfolding on the sidelines, we reach the conclusion of the Halloween Sketch Sale!

Kisame week : day 5 ! (You may ask me "but wasn't it supposed to be yesterday?" to which I will respond "yeah but time is a social construct and sleep isn't")

Does this drawing respects the timeline and general ages of these characters ? Probably not.

Do I care ? Take a guess.

The Swordmen of the Mist have secrets, many of them being secret sword techniques passed down from generations to generations. You don't get to read those scrolls until you can be trusted with those secrets, because loose lips with sink ships and all that, so apprentices are not allowed to read them.

Zabuza and Mangetsu, though, decided they could bypass the rules and sneak in the temple to read the interesting stuff early on.

Honestly, that's very cute of them to assume they're the first one to try that. As if every single apprentice in the past hasn't done the exact same thing, to the point the real scrolls had to be put somewhere else and it's become an unofficial tradition to 'kindly' remind the newbies to not learn ultimate techniques before the basics.

Today is Kisame's turn to teach that lesson and he's been waiting years for that - ever since he suffered the same embarrassing fate at their age. Someone - or some two - are about to get a beating they'll never forget.
