hi bestie!!

tbh I never paid attention to Hitsugi either, I either ignored him in the final or didn't pay attention to him at all but then I decided that i'm going to make up stuff about him because I am weird✨

Honestly I'm pretty sure the only reason I remembered he existed was because he was mentioned in a few fics I read!!

in one of them oboro beat him up in training after he annoyed him

and in another one of them (i need to reread the series, the oboro works in a convenience store one) I think it was implied that oboro and him were friends

honestly I just made up stuff about him to add to my own delusions about the naraku since we don't really have any real inside information on them and he's giving loser energy

What we do know about him from the series is that:

he is very loyal to Utsuro, the final is where we see his opinion on Utsuro's immortality dilemma after he experiences it for himself. Because he destroyed the altana heart the others were protecting because he knew it would aid utsuro in his plan for finally dying. I think that was interesting because he decided to destroy it instead of retrieving it for the tendoshu because he now understood a some of utsuro's pain after receiving altana blood and being unable to die himself while having to stay alive as his flesh was rotting and his limbs fell off. So he wanted to free Utsuro of immortality by destroying the heart

He is the second feather (tbh I don't remember if he was the first or second, I don't even remember which one oboro was. But we all know Nobume was the third feather)

He tried to kill sadaharu (we do not stan him for that :/)

he became chief after Oboro died 🥺 (i personally like to think that he became chief because utsuro didn't want to do it, and because there was no one left)

I think his name is interesting because it means coffin (who tf is naming these people in the naraku)

Anyway in terms of his relationship with others :

With Utsuro we know that he is as loyal and devoted to him as any other member in the naraku, and that he must be skilled and powerful to be named on of the three feathers.

But with Oboro, they never had any interactions or were referenced to each other so I just made up stuff about him in terms of his relationship with oboro and I came up with two versions of it

Oboro and Hitsugi ✨crack version✨:

oboro and hitsugi are the same age and grew alongside each other in the naraku

Hitsugi simps for oboro

he likes him

he saw the quiet kid in corner of the classroom and befriended him even though oboro did not say more than a full sentence to him

when he met kid oboro secretly training and offered to help him kid hitsugi was happy because he made a friend and was very saddened when Oboro disappeared one day

but was happy when he met oboro again two years later after Oboro painfully beat his ass in training

he thought that him and oboro training, doing missions and becoming apart of the three feathers together meant that Oboro likes him back as much as hitsugi likes him

hitsugi is very much a simp for oboro, he always brings oboro a towel and water after oboro is done training, he always offers to train and spar with oboro because they are both strong and he likes spending time with oboro. He also gives oboro food and offers to help him with his duties because he cares about him and doesn't like seeing him overworked and stressed

hitsugi would do anything for oboro tbh, even if it meant betraying Utsuro, he would do it in a heartbeat because in hitsugi's opinion Oboro is the chief of the naraku who earned his position and improved the organization, he is loyal to oboro

hitsugi would gift oboro new fancy weapons and poisons he finds because when he looked at it, he decided to buy it for oboro because he knew oboro would like it or was interested in it

when utsuro returned at the end of the joui war hitsugi did not like him at all simply because oboro changed in the man's presence and hitsugi thought utsuro didn't value oboro like he does

Hitsugi also does not like Utsuro because Oboro now spends all his time doing utsuro's will and wishes instead of sparing together with him like they used to before

He also does not like the fact that oboro bows before utsuro

or that oboro is so devoted to utsuro even though he's coughing up blood and clearly dying (hitusugi hates oboro injured, in pain or hurt)

hitsugi is the type of person to be so soft and devoted to oboro because he loves him. He would exit a car first, open the door on oboro's side, kneel or bow down, and extend his hand to help oboro out of the car

hitsugi would treat oboro as something fragile and value him so much because he loves oboro and knows he's deadly but in a beautiful way

yeah all in all hitsugi is an oboro simp

he thinks oboro is beautiful, beautiful when he's concentrating on paperwork, when surrounded by enemies and gracefully killing them, when he's dressed up in fancy formal robes to attend parties at the royal palace, when he's drenched in blood, when he's thoroughly beating others in training, when the moonlight reflects on his misty hair and pale skin, and yes, anything Oboro does is beautiful to Hitsugi

Oboro and Hitsugi, serious version🫣:

Hitsugi hates oboro

He thinks oboro is unworthy and a fraud

hitsugi hated oboro the moment he saw him as a kid walking side by side Utsuro-sama while hitsugi spent all day training and didn't get acknowledged for it

hitsugi hated how oboro received the status as utsuro's paige but was forbidden from even learning the ways of the naraku

hitsugi blames oboro for utsuro running away and becoming Shouyou, robbing the naraku of their leader

he was happy when he learned oboro died, but felt so much anger when he spotted oboro very much alive and with the same rank as him a few years later

hitsugi hated oboro more and they always fought in the training halls, sometimes oboro wins, sometimes hitsugi wins, sometimes they need people to stop their fights and pull them apart

they are rivals (not the kakashi and guy kind but a more extreme and serious version of sougo and hijikata where sougo fr fr fr wants to kill hijikata and would do it, that's hitsugi and oboro)

hitsugi hates when he and oboro are sent on missions together and will try to kill him or sabotage him

hitsugi hates oboro with so much passion he's always attempting to kill him, poison him or do anything to get him out of the picture or life (which is always frustrating for him because oboro has altana blood and will not die even if hitsugi manages to injure him fatally)

hitsugi and oboro are both strong, the higher ups have their eyes on them and they both know it. This causes their rivalry to increase, hitsugi does not want oboro to succeed and oboro has his own reasons to get to the top ( we all know why) and he's no afraid to lie, cheat, murder and betray people to do this

with the war and everything, hitsugi gets jealous when others start to talk about oboro and his feats in the war of taking out the enemies

he would work hard to beat oboro's now high kill count and record but it keeps going up

because of the war, they are both promoted to be apart of the three feathers of the naraku when two positions are opened at the same time. Their promotion ceremony was a two in one

because of their new positions they are sent on missions together

hitsugi thinks that maybe oboro isn't so bad after all since they are no longer fighting for the top

the war continues and they get sent on different missions and posts far away from each other

everything is peaceful in the truce hitsugi decided between them

until the shogun demands a new yatagurasu be put in place and the higher ups of the organization are deciding on who to give it too, Oboro or Hitsugi

unfortunately for hitsugi he doesn't know that Oboro is the one they want as chief and not him

unknown to hitsugi, oboro never stopped after achieving a rank in the three feathers, he worked hard to gain good favour in order to become chief

hitsugi doesn't know many years later oboro had the shogun, tendoshu and higher ups of the organization in his favour from the start, or that oboro was the once who whispered in the shogun's ear that they needed a yatagurasu, or that oboro held the shogun's fancy to help him get the position.

Of course Hitsugi doesn't know this but still worked hard and when the time came for their to be a battle to decide the new chief of the organization hitsugi was ready to put kill oboro and use his body as a footrest for when he sat on the naraku throne

So the day comes, a gladiator style battle between Hitsugi and Oboro for the throne of the yatagurasu held in an arena in front of thousands of naraku soldiers, the shogun and others influential figures, and the tendoshu.

Winner becomes chief of the naraku

it's a fight to the death or until either one of them can't get up anymore

it's a long, bloody, skilled and crazy fight between oboro and hitsugi, both of them are fighting for something important, their 100% serious, using all their power, any slightest mistake can lead to death and defeat for the person who made it

of course it won't be easy but oboro wins by getting hitsugi to collapse unconscious with blood loss, and using his own poisoned blade on him

Oboro wins the fight the moment Hitsugi falls to the ground and can't get up, Oboro's first order from as chief is to get him treated because he wants hitsugi alive

when hitsugi regains consciousness and learns he lost and oboro ordered him to stay alive he hated him more than ever when he learns that he has to participate in the coronation

that doesn't stop hitsugi from trying to kill oboro at all, because he knows that upon oboro's death, he is next in line to become chief and hitsugi wants that to happen sooner than later

anyway Oboro's coronation is a beautiful one, he wears fancy robes, gets a new pewter staff made of gold, and is presented with the mask of the yatagurasu to wear.

oboro takes his vows all that's left is to drink the holy water or ceremonial sake in front off the thousands watching

to hitsugi's delight, he is the one who has to pour the drink for oboro so that gives him the perfect opportunity to poison him, so he gets the strongest, most lethal poison of this earth and the most deadly amanto one and mixes them together and presents it as the ceremonial drink

when oboro takes the cup from the velvet cushion hitsugi presents it to him on hitsugi has to keep his head lowered because he doesn't want to smile and give away his intentions

when the crowd gasps in shock hitsugi knows he's won but is shocked to see oboro drink the entire cup and reach his hand out wanting more, and oboro will look down at hitsugi kneeling before him and reach out and take the bottle of poisoned sake from him and drink the entire bottle of what is meant to be a fast acting poison, drink every last drop, smile and ask for more

then when it is time to swear allegiance to the new chief hitsugi will be called upon first and on shaking legs that feel like they were made of jelly he will bite his tongue, bow down to oboro and swear fidelity to him

anyway oboro becoming chief of the organization does nothing to extinguish the hate hitsugi has for him

like how sougo is always trying to blow up, slice, stab and poison hijikata, Hitsugi will do the same to oboro but more extreme and dangerous 

oboro knows to never take any food, drink or even items given to him by hitsugi because he knows hitsugi wants his position

oboro is always on edge and aware of his surroundings because he knows hitsugi would attempt to take him out 

he still spars with hitsugi but now hitsugi never wins, he always loses

hitsugi attempts to get followers to overthrow oboro but it is hard because none on them can survive in a fight against him 

when utsuro returns hitsugi is happy because he expects utsuro to take the position away from oboro but is disappointed when he doesn’t 

when hitsugi finally gets alone with utsuro and begs him to dethrone oboro utsuro will leave a scar across his in warning to never talk to him so casually again 

so yes, years will go buy of hitsugi biting his tongue and following oboro’s orders but that will not stop him from attempting to kill him and poison oboro at all

years later when the former shogun sadasada is killed and oboro fails in his mission hitsugi will not let that slide, he will bring up oboro’s past errors like mukuro and the fact that she is still alive and gain followers to overthrow oboro’s rule

with utsuro elsewhere hitsugi will gets others on his side and call for oboro to be stripped of his position

hitsugi will plead with the tendoshu on how their yatagurasu is weak and needs to be dethroned and with the backing of others there will be another battle between hitsugi and oboro for the title of chief

hitsugi, will think he can win with oboro’s recent defeat and injury but will once again be on his back with oboro standing over him, giving him a scar on his face to match his own while defeating hitsugi and maintaining his position once again

so hitsugi lets up on his assassination attempts of oboro and will only resume them when he returns from a mission to see oboro missing an eye

he still loses their fight even if oboro is missing part of his sight 

when the naraku are called to deal with the rebels on the island hitsugi is ecstatic when he learns oboro has been maimed and defeated, but before hitsugi can make the call to depose him he is surprised when utsuro once again stops him and takes command of the naraku

it is after utsuro returns from his business on rakuyou that oboro does not return with him, utsuro makes hitsugi chief but also grants him the power of immortality 

yeah this did not make sense in the slightest but I got carried away 🫣

also yeah ik there’s def spelling mistakes in here but I am too lazy to fix them🫠

but yeah here is the answer to your ask bestie <3
