#yukimaru

We all know that Akashi is an equestrian and has a horse named Yukimaru.

I was just randomly wondering what would happen after Akashi dies. Be it after a few years (for example: suicide or heart attack from overworking - all this stress and expectations he has to fulfill (and prove himself to his father and the world); or an illness (be it similar or different from Shiori's...) or old age.

If Akashi dies of old age,by then Yukimaru would have been dead for several decades, and any possible descendants (son or daughter) too. So that leaves the third,or even the fourth, generation.

If Akashi dies in his middle ages(from 30s to 50s), then possibly Yukimaru's closest descendants would be alive to see it.

But if Akashi dies in his early to late 20s, Yukimaru would be alive to see his human soulmate's death.

And I was left thinking... What if one of Akashi's last wishes,not only as just a human, but also an equestrian at heart, was to leave the world like Bob Haigh Sr. and J.Joe Harney?

What if his last wish is to be cremated and his ashes be put in a cloth,attached to the saddle, so he can ride his horse (either Yukimaru or a possible descendant) for the very last time? What if he wants to go for a ride even in death? To relive those happy memories he had riding his beloved horse(s)?

*(continues from part 1 - part 2 - part 3)

Last time I'm doing this, since there aren't interesting characters left. Well, you can tell me if there's anyone you think I could add, and I'll consider it since there's still space in this batch (doesn't mean I will add it for sure).

61. Mask shop guy: Zankoku 残酷

It means "cruel", a name more than fitting for this jerk ò_ó.

62. Konoha woman: Kurumi

She was the lady that Konohamaru transformed into after meeting Naruto. No special meaning on her name, just a random one that I felt suited her.

63. Village headman: Gorou

He was the chief of the village that bandit leader Baji abused. Seiyuu's name.

64. Headman's granddaughter: Seiko

This little girl was kidnapped as a safety hostage. Also seiyuu's name.

65. Kumogakure's head ninja: Sagishi 詐欺師

The kanji translate as "fraudster" or "swindler", for obvious reasons.

66. Land of Rice Fields daimyō: Yasui Damasare

This name is actually a single word in Japanese. Damasareyasui refers to a person that's naive and gullible, which this man totally was for believing Orochimaru.

67. Wind minister: Hōdōkan 報道官

For a long time I've believed there was some kind of mistranslation about this man. He, a daimyō? No chance, he doesn't look the part. All daimyō wear that fan-style hat, but this one looks lots closer to the Fire daimyō's counselors. I think he was actually meant to be a spokesperson, so that's what I've called him as.

68. Yuukimaru's mother: Mokuren 木蓮

Also supposed to be Yagura's lover (the fourth mizukage). Since both Guren and Yuukimaru had all this theme about white and red flowers, I named her after another that can be pink or purple.

69. Land of Vegetables minister: Hyourihiko 表裏彦

The adjective hyouri is how you call a two-faced person in Japanese (literally "front and back"). The -hiko is just a common suffix for male names.

70. Momiji's grandmother: Meishin 迷信

She could find hidden water using less-than-scientific ways, hence her name means "superstition".

71. Land of Sea fishmonger: Uobe 魚部

It means "fish club/department".

72. Land of Sea woman: Moguri 潜り

This woman's husband was spirited away while they were fishing near the cursed island. Moguri is one of several words to refer to a diver.

73. Shiore's teammates: Batsu and Tsumi

Named after their tags, batsu (the masked one) means "punishment" and tsumi (the bald one) means "crime".

74. Moroi's subordinate: Kedarui 気だるい

Unsure if this was correctly translated... but it's supposed to mean "demotivated". Just look at his face!

75. Onoki's bodyguard: Koubutsu 鉱物

Since he comes from the Land of Earth (ground, soil, whatever), I gave him a related name to that theme. It means "mineral".

*(the character was requested by @cherrybombshh)

76. Chubby hostess: Shokubi 薔薇

You know, Japanese is quite an entertaining language when you get the gist of it XDDD.

This poor lady was made fun of by Jiraiya due to being overweight, hence I wanted to give her a beautiful name to compensate. And what's the most universally loved flower ever? Roses, which you call bara in Japanese (薔薇).

Now, thing is... among the different readings of its kanji, the first one can coincidentally be read as shoku, which normally would mean "meal" (though that would be a totally different kanji).
