#namiashi raidou

the way i gasped when this opening came on was borderline dangerous

Save the Ashes (Genma, Raidou, Ryouma, Jiraiya, Nijo) — Jiraiya and the officers of Team Six arrive at the flaming ruins of Orochimaru’s lair, with a celestial tiger and a lot of questions. They’re late — but maybe not too late.

It's been a while since we've caught up with this half of Team Six. If you're struggling to remember how they got here, the last chapter where we saw Raidou and Genma was Keep Sanding with a Higher Grit

for Genmaweek2026 :)

posting this old fic series because i've been told it was a "classic." :D it's at least 17 years old, so by that definition, i guess it is! i actually haven't read it in some time, so idk if it's cringey or not lmao. maybe i'll read it today :)

warning: this series is unfinished and is likely to remain that way. i think most of the chapters can be read as one-shots anyway--that's how they were posted back in the day, i believe.

Genma resolved early on that he'd never put the moves on his best friend, Raidou. And he kept that promise - until, one night, he couldn't any longer. Pre-canon, early twenties Genma and Raidou.
