WHY IS HANABI SO UNDERDEVELOPED IN THE MANGA! AOIFJAOIFJAOIFJASO!

Luckily, we have awesome fanon-Hanabis like this one to tide us over. I liked the Hanabi/Neji interaction the best-there's tension and trauma there, but also the standard attitudes of siblings interacting, which was a good nod to the fact that Hanabi's not actually very old and in many ways, she's still kind of an innocent.

One thing I did NOT like (...shocker, I know) was the very opening line "blood." Usually you keep it very clean and matter of fact, so it avoids the cliche, but it seemed to toe the line on this one. That's minor, though.

Awesome, awesome job. You've developed the ultimate fanon-Hanabi.

Hanabi is a pretty blank slate in the series, odd when you think of how much detail Kishimoto usually gives. Still, it's always interesting to see what an author can make of her, and this is an excellent example of what can be done. I really like how Hanabi is kinda naive and pretty creepy but still just a kid.

an interesting character study on a character who we see to little or in both cannon and fic. Thanks for this!

I like your interpretation of Hanabi. I agree, I wish we could see more of her in canon, but I suppose it lets you imagine how she might have turned out.

I think my favorites were "head," because it hints at the huge role politics plays in her life, and "ankle" and "feet," since they show nicely the balance between finding freedom without rebellion.

Wow, great one-shot, I wish more people would write Hanabi this way. (or write about her at all, lol)

Oh, I love the name you gave for Hanabi...the Firecracker...for some reason, this version of her reminds me a LOT of Toph from Avatar: the Last Airbender.

Awesome I love it! I'm the same person as slug lass

Oh- I forgot! I love wrist- the whole idea of Hanabi trying to sneak up on Neji, and the line, "Ninja are paranoid.." And, have you heard the song "The Ninjas" by Barenaked Ladies?

The ninja are deadly and silent/They're also unspeakably violent/They speak Japanese, they do whatever they please/and if you tear off their masks they'll be smiling.

This may be a bit of an unusual suggestion, but..are you going to do these for any of the boy shinobi? *wants to see Neji's* And if not, how about 15 Fragments of Tayuya? She seems so interesting...

This was great! I know Hanabi doesn't have a very big part in Kishimoto-san's story, but that's what fanfic is for, neh? This is just how I imagined her-confused about her family, stubborn, and more than a tad violent. My favorites are nose, knee, and feet. Arigato for this lovely story!

hmm how about fragments of hinata as well XD

I like this so much because, not only is it well-written, Hanabi doesn't get enough attention :( She's one of my favorite characters.

Hanabi means "Firecracker"? I didn't know that! This is an excellent fic, I love Hanabi and all of this stuff is true about her!

My favorite one here was fingers. Another job well done with a hard-to-work-with character.

Good job :)

The 'hands' was my favorite. Hanabi's a minor character but you still got her to perfectly match.
