Look Alive Sunshine ~

New Bulletproof Hearts AU lore just dropped

Here, have Kakashi and Genma’s character intros and thumbnail designs and notes for 6 out of the main 7!!! (I’ve already posted Anko ;) )

(If this is the first Bulletproof Hearts AU post you’re seeing, for context this is my Danger Days inspired AU featuring the tokujo squad and also Kakashi :) )

And now for the official intro:

In the fallout following the Resource Wars , and shortly after we lost Kiri to the waves, the Senju company in collaboration with the Red Fan company establish Neo-Konoha, the new capitol of the remnants of the Land of Fire. A shiny new city free from the troubles of post-war faction life, and the dizzying desert heat.

Here in the city everything runs on chakra energy. No more nuclear or fossil fuels, that’s for the old-world now. By tapping into the “dragon veins” flowing through the earth chakra can be cultivated and converted into the fuel that powers all of Neo-Konoha’s beloved bright lights, hover-cars, gadgets, and gizmos. It’s even opened up the doorway to cybernetics and body-modification. With chakra being an energy source that resonates with life it’s never been easier to merge man and tech. Now, many new companies wanting to make their mark on chakra-tech industries have sprouted up, and Chakra City (Neo-Konoha) is very kind to those wanting to contribute to the expansion of the city, and the growth of the economy.

The city is split into three main branches. The tall buildings and neon lights of the inner-city, the seedy bars and backroom deals of the under-city, and the plastic smiles and white picket fences of the residential district. Everything inside the city walls is labeled as Neo-Konoha, and everything outside in the wide open desert plains is labeled as the Outer-Ring, where many live in the little non-radiated pockets of barely habitable land. Made barely habitable thanks to the over mining of chakra, causing the land to be drained of its vitality. Life in the O.R is rough, it’s a lawless wasteland filled with criminals, thugs, and the kindest and realest people you’ll ever meet. It’s the home of all of those who don’t belong inside the city walls. Those who were cast out, or those who chose to leave, and those who had no choice but to be born.

After the tragic death of chairman Minato Namikaze the Golden Era of Neo-Konoha has been replaced my Sarutobi Hiruzen’s age of radio silence, aided by president of ROOT Danzo Shimra who’s company specializes in keeping the people “in line”. A powerful regime threatened only by a newly established pack of desert rats out in the Outer-Ring consisting of two of Minato’s former bodyguards, the previous head of the intelligence division, a woman who’s more machine than human, a sickly smuggler, and more recently a once-double agent turned pink hearted. These anarchists call themselves Wildfire.

Operating out of an abandoned gas station from back in the old era of gas powered vehicles Wildfire’s unofficial leader Genma Shiranui runs a 24h radio station - titled S.E.N.B.O.N radio - where you can tune in to all of the greatest punk-rock hits AND get all the information you need regarding the movement of Neo-Konoha’s exterminators, soldiers, and SCARECROWs out in the O.R. How to best avoid them, and how to best blast ‘em to one of the four respectable levels of dead without sending yourself sky high with ‘em. Unintentionally Shiranui becomes somewhat of a guardian angel for the people struggling against the chains of oppression out in the wastes. What was once a station created to provide some musical escape with just a sprinkling of survival tricks turned into the stage in which the revolution is set.

In that same gas station that’s home to such an iconic station are all of the other main members of Wildfire. We’ve got Anko Mitarashi, who has a mechanic shop where she can do just about anything given the proper materials. Anything from mods to prosthetics, vehicle repair and customization, making whole new gadgets, and making cyber-cycles from scratch. Meanwhile, when he’s not out on an assignment Raidō Namiashi’s running the “convenience store” that’s really just a front for the whole fence thing they’re running. Ibiki Morino is used as the group’s ‘intimidation and muscle’ but when he’s not scaring Konoha dogs shitless he’s slaving over his pride and joy, a car that’s more modifications than car. Hayate Gekkō manages their connections to the smuggling routes and also makes it his life mission to act like the station’s cat. Agent Yūgao Uzuki, former SCARECROW assigned to take down the rebels, turned double agent, turned Wildfire loyalist tries to take charge of planning as much as she can. After witnessing the state of the leadership in the revolt rocking konoha she’s flabbergasted they accomplished as much as they did.

On the side of Neo-Konoha Kakashi Hatake, Mad Dog, agent #07, and Hiruzen’s top SCARECROW, is assigned to take Wildfire down. The group consisting of his old comrades and friends, before they turned traitor. With his soldier prowess and the use of the advanced AI program ‘B2’, created by Obito uchiha, Kakashi is the only individual able to stand against Wildfire, the question is, does his loyalty to Neo-Konoha and his trust in “Obito” outweigh the ache he feels. The niggling feeling that there’s something very wrong, something he’s missing.

This is not a tale about heroes. This is not a tale about glory. This is a tale about people. People living, and people dying, and people clawing their way through life, and people snapping at the hand that tightens the leash. There is no victor, there is no clean cut, just what is left when the fire burns through. The embers that sparked the Wildfire are doomed to fizzle out and die in the infancy of the flame. But as long as you stick around to witness the trees burn, they cannot claim it hadn’t happened at all. When a tree falls in a forest, tune in to the sound. Because remember, they can’t control you if you don’t give in to the silence.

Orrrrr

The tokujo gang fight against the oppressive fascist regime of Neo-Konoha while spreading chaos through the wastes and making Kakashi’s life way harder :)

So yeah, I hope that makes sense T~T it’s so late at night when I’m writing this I fear I may be too cryptic…. BUT PLEASE TELL ME YOU GET THE VISION!!

If anyone is interested in more lore feel free to ask anything <<33 I’m going to try and post some mini comics and blurbs for this AU often-ish (for art practice and also I want to push my brainworms onto y’all) so stay tuned?

Alright I think that’s enough yapping (for now ;) ) if anyone read all of that I shall give you one (1) soft little forehead kith :) 😙💋

Okay byeeee~~~

Made my brother boot up Red Dead for this

God, guys I’m so locked in

Just heard the most devastating Red Dead audio and now I’m thinking about Cowboy AU KakaGai….

*looks at tablet forlornly* hmmmmmm….👀👀

Head empty. Only thoughts of 2020 death note one shot Near.

Just did a few sketches waiting for my dad to be done his meeting so we can watch the death note finale together.

A quick Wild West AU but with my favourite old men :) We’ve got outlaw Kakashi and rancher Gai (also a rough as hell lil bonus comic :))

@kindatiredtho gave me cowboy AU brainworms with their amazing cowboy Genma art, and @alternitavely infected me with KakaGai thoughts so blame them 🤷‍♀️

by some strange inter-dimensional incident, the bulletproof hearts au and ghost fire au peeps meet,,, 👀

(bulletproof heart au by the awesome @konoharfts!! \o/)

Team 12 Genin Photo!!

AKA the party from my first Naruto TTRPG campaign I played like 4 years ago that we called Konoha: Reach for the Stars!

In the pic we’ve got:

- Up top, Shiryoku Hyuuga sensei, local Maito Gai enthusiast and Hiashi’s most insistent thorn in his side. (Played by the GM)

- The one on the left getting absolutely gripped is Yuri Kagame, Suna refuge and queen of overly complex and ultimately convoluted pranks (played by me :))

- The one holding the dog like a burger while giving the lead paint stare is the mad dog mad scientist himself Akuma Inuzuka with his ninken Aoimaru (played by my lil bro)

- On the right thinking she’s slick is Ginha Senju, leader of the Sasuke’s Haters Club and Tsunade’s favourite only niece (played by an old friend)

I was feeling nostalgic so I had to draw them. I’m currently playing a campaign that takes place with Shiryoku’s generation and the GM keeps adding easter eggs that foreshadow the old campaign so blame him.

Anyways thanks for looking at them byee~~

*wakes up from self-induced art coma*

Anyways here’s some 1 panel comics I made featuring some of my favourite Naruto fanfic tropes that make me giggle a little bit :)

We’ve got-

Naruto’s Uzumaki genes locking in when it comes to sealing

Gai’s “Power of Youth” ocean at a sunset rainbows and sparkles visuals just being a genjutsu he does

And then we’ve got the in-universe lore specific cursing

If I had more foresight I’d tag fics that include these but uhhhh forgor…

These are fun, I kinda wanna do more. So if y’all like this I just might teehee >:)

Okay thank you bye~

My brother just said “Rob a man blind? Isn’t that what the Uchiha did?” AND I JUST-

Hatsune Miku Jade Leech, because I remembered I have free will >:)

I ate too much sugar and had a dream last night that Jade (dressed as Hatsune Miku) barged into my room and wouldn’t let me sleep until I watched him perform. He did bad.

He’s been haunting me since, the little worm inside my brain that pilots me like a mech kept telling me to draw it out and inform the masses, so here ya go y’all
