Stargazer Lily

Words: 1,699

God of Storms AU: Lily

Characters: Hatake Kakashi & Hatake Sakumo

Note: thank you to @mushroombitchboy for giving this a quick read through and pointing out a horrid word placement mistake XD

Sakumo was in the midst of planting his latest creation in the garden just outside of his temple when he heard his daughter’s footsteps behind him.

Light as air, her feet barely touched the ground but gave off just enough sound to alert him to her presence. A calculated move he'd begun making after accidentally sneaking up on the other gods one too many times.

“One second,” he whispered as his hand cradled the flower's delicate petals. “Just need to make sure- yes!”

It was perfect. The flower sat straight and true, displaying its beauty to the world without hesitation.

“Gorgeous,” his daughter spoke, but her voice sounded different from what he was used to. A little bit deeper, and with a bit more happiness than he was used to hearing from her. “Did you just create it?”

“I just finished it,” he confirmed. “The process took a bit longer than usual, but I wanted it to come out perfect and, well-” Turning around, he opened his arms to greet his daughter with a hug, only to stop when his eyes landed on her.

Where she’d once had long, flowing silver hair hanging down below her hips, there was now short spiky hair that pointed up in every direction. Rather than greeting him with that blinding, toothy smile of hers, she said a silent ‘hello’ with a smile that was covered by a cloth mask. It was a smile that still reached all the way up into her eyes and forced them shut, her face glowing with pride in a way Sakumo had never seen before.

Her whole attitude was different.

Her facial features were perfectly covered by the mask, but her auro was full of a confidence she’d never been known to hold herself with before.

“You look-” “Strange?” her back straightened, confidence disappearing from her eyes when she glanced away from him, but shining even brighter than before when she called up the courage to meet his gaze once again.

“Handsome,” dropping his arms down to his side, he tilted his head. “Where did this come from? Last I checked my d-” Stopping himself, he forced himself to take one more careful look at her.

‘Daughter’ didn’t seem to be the correct descriptor anymore. For the first time since he’d held them in his arms, he knew he wasn’t looking at his precious little girl. She was gone, and someone new stood in front of him.

Someone wonderful.

“My child,” he finished, his heart blooming with a comfortable warmth when their eyes lit up with excitement. “What changed?”

“Not much, really,” they shrugged their shoulders and leaned a little to the left to get a better look at the flower he’d just been admiring. “I just sort of realized something about myself.”

“And what was that ‘something’?” taking a step to the side, he watched as their eyes darted up toward him. For a moment they watched him, examining his face before forcing their attention back onto the flower.

Reaching out, they grazed their fingers against the flower’s petals. “Just that I- well,” tucking their bottom lip in under their top teeth, they sighed. “What would you think if you-if I…”

“If my daughter wasn’t my daughter?” Sakumo finished for them, a gentle laugh dancing on his lips. “I don’t think that would matter, really. You’re…” he stopped himself before he could say their name, wondering if it was even the name that they wanted to go by anymore.

“Kakashi,” they whispered, the name lingering in the air between them as Sakumo went over it in his mind. “It’s the name I use when I’m…you know.”

“When you’re with him?” A shy nod serves as an answer to his question. “I see. How long have you been using it?”

“A year, maybe two,” they whispered. “Maybe something like twenty.”

Twenty years. Sakumo couldn’t help but laugh at himself when he’d heard that.

For Twenty years his child had been introducing themselves as someone else to others. Presented themselves as someone completely different from who they had been born as, and never once told Sakumo about it.

“Where did I go wrong?” he asked a deep sadness weighing on his heart as he thought about all of the time he’d lost with the child he was supposed to love.

“Nowhere,” they whispered. “I just didn’t know how to tell you.”

“I should have been the first one you told,” he whispered. “Or at least, the first one you were comfortable with telling.”

“I didn’t tell him either,” they admitted, finally dragging their eyes away from the flower and looking back at him with such deep sadness in their eyes that Sakumo felt his heart breaking. “I just sort of showed up as ‘Kakashi’ and went from there.”

“So he doesn’t know?”

“No one does,” they confirmed. “Except you, now. So, You kind of are the first one I’ve told. It just took me a while to gather up the courage to do it.”

“Twenty years,” Sakumo repeated with a heavy heart. It was such a short amount of time in the grand scheme of things, but it was still too long. Years that he could have spent referring to his child by the correct name, and loving them for who they truly are, were wasted away.

“Father,” Kakashi called out, a tender smile on their face when he dared to lift his eyes off of the ground. “I’m telling you now.”

“But-”

“Twenty years is gone,” they reminded him. “There’s still a few thousand ahead of us. Why don’t we focus on that time instead?”

Thinking about it, Sakumo sighed. “On one condition.”

“And that is?”

Motioning for them to face him, Sakumo waited until they turned their full attention to him. “Introduce yourself.”

“Introduce myself?” they raised an eyebrow. “To my own father?”

“Fine,” he rolled his eyes up toward the sky. “Reintroduce yourself.”

“I-”

“Hello,” holding out a hand, he grinned when Kakashi looked down at it with a bewildered expression. “I’m Sakumo, your father.”

Standing there in front of him, Kakashi stared at his hand for what felt like an eternity before finally reaching out to grasp it in a firm, confident hold. “Hello,” he repeated, his eyes sparkling with joy as he stared back at him once again. “I’m Kakashi, your son.”

There were many times in his life when Sakumo had felt proud of his sons: The first time Obito molded a mortal soul into a star and placed it into the sky, or the moment when Kakashi’s rains first filled the skies and brought life to the withering plants all over the world. Now, standing in front of his son watching as a spark of excitement and joy twinkled in his eyes, he felt the warmth of a father’s pride once more as he watched his son step out of the shell that he’d been hidden in for all of his life.

“Ah,” an idea came to him suddenly. “Let’s celebrate!”

“Celebrate?”

“Yes!” Grabbing his son’s shoulders, he turned him back toward the flower he’d just finished creating and pointed at it. “Your first act as ‘Kakashi, God of Storms’ should be memorable. Something that will be whispered among mortals in a hundred years or so. Naming the flower I’ve just created is the perfect start.”

“You want me,” he pointed at himself, confusion tugging his eyebrows toward the center of his forehead. “To name the flower that you made?”

“I can’t think of anyone better to do it,” he grinned. “Obito would probably call it something silly. He’s amazing at creating things, but naming them…well, I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him after he decided to name that flower he made for Rin ’pickerelweed ‘“ No matter how much his younger son tried to convince him that it was a good name, he refused to agree. Even Jiraiya had better names for the things he created, and he was the man who’d give one of his creations the name ‘Tanuki’.

“Well,” examining the flower, Kakashi tilted his head. “How about, the stargazer?”

“Stargazer?” Sakumo couldn’t help but laugh. “Have you been spending too much time with your brother again?”

“Probably, but that’s not the point,” cupping the flower in his hand, he smiled down at it. “It’s pointed toward the sky, even now when it’s nighttime. It’s like it’s looking at the stars.”

Weighing the name in his mind, Sakumo chuckled. “Well, it does sound like a good name, and I have no doubt Obito will like it too,” in fact, he was certain that as soon as he heard the name Obito would try to claim the flower as his own. Unfortunately for him, this one already belonged to someone. “A perfect flower for a perfect son, don’t you think?”

Kakashi’s head whipped around, his eyes wide as he stared at Sakumo. “P-perfect?”

“Of course!” laying a hand on his son’s shoulder, he smiled so wide that his face actually hurt a little from the way his lips stretched all the way up into his cheeks. “My gift to you, to celebrate.”

Today wasn’t supposed to be a day of celebration. He hadn’t planned to create a flower to commemorate such an important milestone in his son’s life, but there was only one God who could see the future, and it wasn’t Sakumo.

So, when the future came barreling toward him and introduced him to his son, whom he’d been calling by the wrong name for years, he simply rolled with it.

“A Stargazer lily,” the flower opened a little wider as if greeting them when it heard him call its name. “A gift for you, to celebrate today.”

Kakashi simply shook his head. “You are such a dork.”

“Ah, true,” moving his hand off of his son’s shoulder, he reached up into his hair and rumpled his hair. “But I’m your dad, so you’re stuck with it.”

Kakashi’s smile only grew wider when he heard that, and for once instead of complaining about his hair being ‘ruined’, he leaned into the touch. A silent offer to let his father continue messing up his hair, which Sakumo happily accepted.

Face What I Deserve

youtube

Ouch, Kakashi…behold one most displeased and desperate copy-nin lashing out in words — or rather, trying not to unleash in action 😬. Bloody hell, poor dearly devoted Gai 😢 …another mind I’d never thought I’d take my rusty scalpel to.

And, of course, dearly dog-tired Genma wondering ‘why tf are the ones I fall for always the diehard guilt-riddled bastards with a deathwish?’ 💔 (noble causes notwithstanding)

Ah, OC cameo of Mizugumo enjoying her new lease on life 🖤

Heaven Hold Us plot beating my brainpan like a drum. Gods bless Queued posts. Might be the last one for a while, as I regenerate lost braincells and energy pennies. Insomnia remains the costly coin of my realm 😵‍💫.

I won't run, the guilt is mine / Too long denying all my crimes / Face what I deserve / Here comes judgement day

Song inspo: Judgement Day by Stealth

POV: Kakashi

Full lyrics 👇🏼

I can feel the floor shaking and the glass begin to break

The air is getting thinner with every breath that I take

The calm before the storm, you could hear the drop of a pin

Never been claustrophobic, but now the walls are closing in

I've crossed every line

Broken every boundary

And now it's retribution time, 'cause the church that I went to

It ain't that holy

So strike me down, take me away

Debts are due, it's time to pay

Face what I deserve

Here comes judgement day

I won't run, the guilt is mine

Too long denying all my crimes

Face what I deserve

Here comes judgement day

Of all the love I have taken

All the hearts I've turned to hate

Hearts are easily broken when you've being made in the shade

I've crossed every line

Broken every boundary

Now it's retribution time, 'cause the church that I went to

It ain't that holy

Strike me down, take me away

Debts are due, it's time to pay

Face what I deserve

Here comes judgement day

I won't run, the guilt is mine

Too long denying all my crimes

Face what I deserve

Here comes judgement day

Standing at the gate

Ready to meet my fate

Cleanse my soul if it's not too late

So bring on judgement day

Strike me down, take me away

Debts are due, it's time to pay

Face what I deserve

Here comes judgement day

I won't run, the guilt is mine

Too long denying all my crimes

Face what I deserve

Here comes judgement day

➜ Pairing: Various!character x reader

➜ Warnings: Gn!reader, toxic relationship dynamic

➜ Word Count: 0.6k

➜ Notes: “Crawling back to you”

It was the same thing every time, and it was always him. You’d never felt like this with anyone else, so drawn to them and addicted the way you were to him. You’d never had such a hard time moving on, leaving. But everything was different with him.

You swore to yourself that it would never happen again. You swore to yourself that it was over, that you were done with him. So why were you in this situation again? Rubbing the sleep out of your eyes and pulling yourself out of bed at such an absurd hour to open the door for him? Why was it so hard for you to ignore him, move on from him, like you had all the rest? You couldn’t understand it.

“What are you doing here?” you asked, leaning against the door frame, and blocking the inside of your apartment from his view. The cold air from outside bit at your exposed skin, making you shiver under your pajamas and curl into yourself.

“I missed you...” He answered, looking away to avoid your hard eyes. You scoffed, you couldn’t do this again with him, you didn’t have the time or the energy and not nearly enough tears left in you. You turned away, ready to close the door and collapse back into your bed. This time would be different, this time you wouldn’t let him real you back in. This time you’d break the god-awful cycle. This time you really were over. This time you’d tell him no.

But his hand slipped in between the door before you could close it, holding it open and forcing you to look back at him, “Please, just listen to me at least,” You looked up at him, eyes meeting his pleading gaze and all the resolve in you crumbled.

“Okay,” you whispered. And you found yourself agreeing, opening the door for him and letting him in, letting him real you back in the way you had told yourself you wouldn’t. Same as always.

Once he was inside, he opened his mouth but you beat him to it, “I can't do this again with you.” Your voice sounded small, barley over a whisper, shaking as you spoke and your eyes stung with traitorous tears. He sucked in a sharp breath.

“It’ll be different this time, better, I’ll be better. I swear.” You could feel his words pulling you into the eye of the storm. Back into the cycle of pain that you wanted so badly to leave behind, and move on from, but you always came back to him. You wanted to yell at yourself for the next words that left your mouth.

Your gaze flitted up to him, “Really?” he nodded, “you promise?” he nodded again, but you knew he was lying. He was always lying, since the minute he stepped into your life.

He reached out taking your hand in his waiting for your answer. Letting you think even when you both knew what it would be. You should shove him out that door right now, the reasonable voice in your head told you, make him leave and end this.

Instead you swallowed harshly, “Okay,” you whispered

“Okay.”

And then he was pulling you into him, hands letting go of your own to cup your face and bring your lips to his and all your worry's seemed to melt away the way only he could make them. You let the tears fall as you kissed him, and then let him wipe them away, reassure you all over again that it would be different, that he changed, that he would be better. You let him lie through his teeth as he pushed you against your bed and kissed down your neck.

And then, you let yourself believe them.

I agree team RWBY haven’t made remnant worse but I question what they’ve done to make it better? There is ruby’s message which does “unite” them in a vague sense. But as far as actual institutional change they haven’t done much, the white fang has ghira in charge again so they’re more or less the same as before sienna, stopping Adam was the right thing to do but it doesn’t make life better for the Faunus, it just stops it from getting worse.

The status quo hasn’t really been changed except as a result of Salem’s actions.

This isn’t to say team RWBY aren’t still hero’s and deserve praise for what they’ve accomplished tho. They’re doing their absolute best to keep the world from burning lol.

First of all, I should note that our heroes had barely been given their licenses during the Atlas arc. This grants them at least some measure of legit authority to actually do anything about the status quo from a grander perspective. They are not politicians, they are not leaders, they are barely children as far as the rest of the world is concerned. The idea that it's all on them is a little ridiculous to me.

Secondly, I'd say the "status quo" has been shifting constantly since the days of Oz and Salem. Humanity 1.0 had magic, a full moon, and gods to hear their prayers. The gods then killed humanity, left the moon shattered, and a bitter and broken Salem behind.

Humanity 2.0 had aura, dust, semblances, Grimm everywhere until Oz and Salem came along as the "New Gods" as it were. Unfortunately, their period didn't last thanks to Oz and Salem's...disputes on what they wanted to do with the world.

So, you have a long period where Oz is stuck for what to do until The Great War. Following that, the monarchies are abandoned and the council systems with the Huntsmen Academies are born...as well as the Faunus War and Faunus Rights Revolution and Vytal Festival. None of THAT had Salem's hand in it.

Spoilers obviously for RWBY, and Naruto, under the cut.

As for what our heroes have accomplished, well, let's really look:

Stopping a master criminal that ran circles around other criminal organizations, the police, AND Ozpin and huntsmen he sent after them for years. Which then STOPPED crime, according to Qrow.

Safeguarding Vale, or at least aiding in its defense. They stopped the hack, Torchwick died (there goes any and all of Adam's new toys too thanks to them stopping the Breach), the Wyvern was frozen, and Neo turned on Cinder. Plus, Vale itself still stands thanks to them and isn't covered in Grimm (Beacon itself is, but last we saw? The teachers and others of Beacon were working to drive them out and keep them out of Vale).

The Nucklevee was storming up and down Mistral's countryside for DECADES before Team RNJR finally killed it in V4 (it's the same massive Grimm that attacked Ren's village and attacked other places in the modern day too).

Raven Branwen appears to have had a change of heart, if the V9 epilogue animatic is anything to go by. That's a HUGE change from Bandit Leader, Darwinist, "Survival of the fittest" Raven from V4 and V5.

Haven and Mistral as a whole were saved thanks to our heroes and attitudes toward Faunus IN MISTRAL have BEGUN to shift thanks to saving the ENTIRE KINGDOM from Adam. Because you can BET he wasn't ever going to stop with just blowing up the school. It's similar to Naruto and Sasuke saving the entire world at the end of Naruto. Sasuke still served a year's worth of jailtime that should've been a life sentence but was pardoned thanks to Naruto and Kakashi swaying the various Kages, considering his actions helped SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD and Naruto vouched for him. Change like that isn't going to happen overnight, but saving an entire kingdom from being either blown up or swallowed by literally negative emotion demons SHOULD count for something! If it doesn't, then what? Just leave them to die? Hardly a heroic thing or moral thing to do! Leverage it for change in the country, though, and then you've got something.

According to the novels, Vacuoans attitudes towards outsiders are shifting thanks to Team CVFY, SSSN, and others helping to get through to them and teaming up to save everyone from The Crown and the Grimm that followed. It's a SLOW process, but still.

When Qrow and Ozpin, the supposed leaders and most experienced people, gave up when things got tough? Team RWBY, with help from Maria, helped them back into fighting shape. It's here where Ruby herself takes command (thus breaking one BIG status quo element of Ozpin being the one in charge).

Caroline Cordovin being reminded that she serves the people was another, after a huge fight, otherwise the city of Argus would've been wiped out.

Getting very close to uniting Mantle and Atlas counts, because that broke the status quo of "Atlas above all else". Ironwood going full fascist doesn't negate that accomplishment or their efforts in pushing him mainly.

Investigating into and arresting Jacques. Pity they had no real time to celebrate it, but unseating the patriarch of the Schnee family and head of the SDC, getting him shoved in jail, and immediately thereafter trying to use their ships to evacuate people in Mantle? Those aren't nothing.

Trapping Watts and Tyrian. Those two seemed...untouchable until that point.

I'd say getting the message out there at all and shattering Salem's aura of secrecy is another good thing. If the massive crowd of ships and the memorial was anything to go by from V9's epilogue animatic, there are a lot of people that saw and followed Ruby's message to meet in Vacuo and unite to face their common threat. As I said earlier, it'll take a long time to truly address everything but getting people to see eye to eye AT ALL after DECADES of tension is sure to bear some fruit.

Upsetting the Red Prince and beating him? Helping Little become Somewhat and having them and Juniper as the Ever After's protectors? SAVING and helping Neo realize a few things that she needs to change about herself? Hell, even helping Jaune through his problems and the Paper Pleasers ascending into the Gems, the Cat being trounced, and helping people survive the ARMY of Neo Jaberwockers is a good thing.

Heck, if you'd like me to get a little into Salem's status quo's that they've broken? They blew her up, turned at least three people that she had in her clutches against her, destroyed one of the largest Grimm she had in her possession, and have generally been a thorn in her side since the beginning. Salem's faction is down from an entire network of spies, turncoats, and villains...to just. four. people thanks to our heroes.

Basically, what I'm saying is this: The changes to the Status Quo in RWBY's entire story doesn't hinge on just Salem's actions by proxy. Everyone has a hand in changing the way things are going.

To truly expect everything to be on our heroes' shoulders is...well, to quote Chloe Bourgeois from Miraculous Ladybug? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

Will they have a more active role to play in coming events? Absolutely. But it's worth pointing out their actions have had effects. From something as small as helping Penny have friends and getting Weiss and Blake to get along, to starting the uniting of the entire world, I truly believe our heroes have had major impacts.

It just requires a larger perspective.

I wanna hear about "Noir!"

Okay. *rolls up sleeves* I hope you're comfortable, because this is a journey of epic ambition that goes through the deepest, darkest forms of denial and procrastination. For now it's contained and just passes for doable, but oh man. Like a parasite in my head it can transform into a monster at the drop of a hat.

In its first, baby incarnation, this was going to be an FE3H fic. I had just finished playing Supergiant Games' Transistor and I was absolutely in love with the look and feel and art of it all. I had this image of Dorothea as Red, a singer who'd lost her voice and was looking for someone (Byleth). She joins a private detective (Yuri) initially following a lead on an unsolved murder (Jeralt's death) and the big sprawling city of Fodlan unfolds before them.

The Empire was an 'old money' business empire. The Alliance was an alliance of 'new money'-types with questionable and shady reasons for their success. The Kingdom was 'old money' former mafia that had renounced its former ways and was now, with the blessing of the region's church, struggling to do good but was constantly being dragged back down by its past. -- Anyway, at this point, it became a monster and I just. Cried and couldn't. Not by myself. I entertained the idea of recruiting other authors to help me world-build this, create a collection of stories that could co-habit this AU and eventually merge into a climactic showdown (Byleth is found and we decide which route the ending will take). But, again, the ambition was too great and my commitment plus activity in the fandom not strong enough. So it languished.

But god the aesthetics! I couldn't just walk away from it. I wanted it. I needed to create something with it. And if I couldn't wrangle it into something feasible within FE3H, well, maybe I just needed to change the fandom?

So it entered it's second incarnation in a second fandom with a narrower scope. I call it: Kakashi x Sakura (Spy/Assassin Secret Society) Noir.

Prelude to the storm was my pilot run using the 2022 Wumptober prompt 'Lost Voice' and kksk event prompt 'Swapped'.

This. This was doable. This... could manifest into a real fic!

But as I tried to flesh out an outline, ambition once more got the better of me. Inclusion of any kind of Uchiha clan-related plot just explodes the story arc, you know? And anything that looks like it'll be more than +50K is daunting to even think about. I had recently lost the luxury of all-night binge writing (it isn't good for my health or sanity). So I had to shelf the idea for a year.

I'm now in a more stable and confident (accepting) frame of mind and... so what if it might end up over 50K? Or, worse, end up perpetually unfinished? It's a concept and theme I seem to keep coming back to. So one of my 2024 resolutions is to finally start writing this.

I still haven't quite pinned down the vibe of the story, but I'm leaning heavily into this cut scene from Transistor and Halsey's If I can't have love I want power album. Specifically, these lyrics:

But what's worse? / Tellin' you my feelings / Or to die without revealing / That you crawled inside my head / And set a fire there instead? / Letting all my insecurity / Devour me with certainty / That love is just a currency

youtube

So. Yeah. Noir.

#my wip #noir au #the fe3h AU that never was #kakasaku fanfic #if you haven't played supergiant games' transistor at least see the cutscenes on youtube #because they are GORGEOUS and the voice acting SMOLDERING #i have never been so simultaneously turned on and moved to tears by a giant weaponized USB stick confessing 'I love you.'#i probably never will be again #naiatabris #you asked i answered

For the take two au. I think that at some point you said that you want to keep the reincarnations to just team 7 so I'm not seriously suggesting this just wanted to share.

One of the recent post made me think of the idea that Mic is a reincarnation of Guy but that while kakshizwa is having teenage angst about it miguy is like well better get on with it and just having a ball. With both of them being like this personality type I know how to deal with this and befriending each other, but neither of them putting it together until the trio shows up at which point miguy is like 'oh my God Kakashi?!!?!'

I've been cracking up over the concept. Mostly because I keep picturing like super angsty teen eraser with eyeliner and a perpetual storm cloud jump cutting to teen mic like skipping guy-style through fields of flowers and rainbows.

If I was going to go the Gai-is-Mic route this is probably how I'd do it.

Messy's Fic Recs

Main Focus: Politics, Worldbuilding, characterization, story writing, interpersonal connections, reimagining of canon or filling in the empty spaces

Honestly compiled this list just for fun. These are my favorite fanfics that have inspired FUBAR in some way and I know some folks may be wondering where to find more. This list will be regularly updated and polished to include more stories when I find them cause...yeah Messy disorganized her online library oops.

"Sanatize" by sage_thrasher | Absolutely phenomenal story. Founder's Era, OC-insert, the medical advancement of the Naruto world is emphasized with mind blowing consideration.

"paint your lips with carmine" by Keanblade | Fantastic. Founder's Era, Madatobi, cutting edge in terms of reimagining of a different priority for the conception of Konoha. Cleverly constructed politics!

"a symbol of subjugation" by evocates | Don't think I could EVER get away with not mentioned ASoS as an inspiring piece of literature. Founder's Era, the world building so deeply understood by the author that it's incredible to read through first, second, third time. Will admit, some of the subjects and exposition can be somewhat hard to read through, but exceptionally well thought out.

"Count Your Blessings" by MadMothMadame | GOD TIER fanfic. Founder's Era, Tobirama-centric, they got everything here, the politics, the drama, the interpersonal relationship and an incredibly well fleshed out Tobirama.

"Doing the Work" by MarbleGlove | not Founder Era, instead we're set post-Uchiha Massacre with a civilian-OC and holy shit I cannot get enough of this story. A reimagining of civilian culture that live beside their shinobi counterparts, where instead of a complete segregation of understanding between the two cultures they're more interlinked.

"Tsundoku" by CherShare | another GOD TIER fanfic. OC-insert, Kakashi generation but set after Team 7's bell test and omg I cannot gush enough the wonderous worldbuilding, shinobi culture, and refreshing personalities introduced in this story.

"Satori (Between the Lines)" by jaylene | Sakura-Centric, Academy days, incredible fanfic where politics, shinobi career pathing, and the cultures between civilian and shinobi are impressively showcased.

------------------------------

Non-Naruto Fic Recs

still focused on worldbuilding, politics, culture inclusion, and phenomenal storytelling

"This Bites!" by Xomniac | One Piece Fanfic, OC-insert but the story is PHENOMINAL! Incredible world building, extraordinary plot! if you love political drama THIS IS THE FANFIC to have wet dreams about. Truly a masterpiece.

"have you heard" by peradi | Star Wars Fanfic, Post Episode-7, this story left me speechless by how incredible it is. A reimagining of the culture of storm troopers and while it's not political there is SO MUCH going on in terms of propaganda, rumor milling, and the character of war.

"Certain Point" by esama | Star Wars Fanfic, Obi-Wan Kenobi time travel, the politics and war games in this one left me breathless. Incredibly defining in the priority of wars and how propaganda works to properly display the narrative.

The Hatake were not always as they are. In fact, they used to be a branch of another clan, trusted as strong, dutiful protectors of their family. But one day, when fate weaved Kakashi’s life into the tapestry of time, everyone’s hair turned white. No one knew why, but soon rumors of a god’s curse spread and suspicion was turned towards the branch members. After a string of unrelated deaths in the main family, they were banished from clan grounds and cast into the wilderness as no names.

With nothing and no one, not even a name, the branch members rallied together and claimed a territory far off from the main family’s as their own. They grew green things from the rich soil and named themselves after their life sustaining grounds: Hatake, or “farmland.”

But for all their name implied inaction and serenity, they were protectors at heart with steel in their spines and restlessness in their blood. So after their grounds were claimed and settled, the Hatake went out to explore the forests and venture into the wild in small groups. In packs some joked.

Lurking in shadows and behind ancient trees, the wolves watched their trek warily for it was never good when men ventured beyond their grounds. They always stripped the land of its life and trampled over new growth, eliminating any chance of healing. They forced the wolves away into new lands and pushed them further and further away from their ancestors place of origin. It would not happen again. The wolves wouldn’t allow it.

But as they watched, the wolves realized something was different about these humans. Their feet were silent and their presence a whisper. No creature was killed for fun then left behind. Only out of necessity. They were like them, the wolves thought. Another displaced pack hunting for food and making a safe den for their young.

The wolves grew fond of this odd two legged pack and their wildness. Grew fond of the little white haired pups that explored the forests with wonder and respect. Thus, it did not take long for the wolves to show themselves and offer to share the lands knowingly. It was not a surprise when the pack, Hatake as they called themselves, accepted. The pups that ran forward to burry tiny hand in course fur, however, was. But, the wolves realize as they watch the human pups grow into sharp fanged predators, perhaps it should not have been.

With each generation the Hatake pack clan grow closer to the wolves and to the wildness around them. Their teeth grow longer and sharper, their hearing now able to pick up the smallest whispers, and their noses able to track prey miles away. In turn, the wolves grow smarter, more canny, and intelligent. But the Hatake also begin to feel something inside of them, something sharp and crackling like a storm. They, raised amid the wild, do not bother to keep a part of themselves locked inside and release in shock of storm born lightning.

It’s chakra the wolves tell them. The energy of the wild made manifest in their cores. It’s a blessing the Hatake know as they use their gift to hunt the ones who dare try and take from their forest until it has nothing left to give.

The men they cull carry weapons that the Hatake have not had new for generation. Weapons that react to their lighting in beautiful beautiful ways.

It does not take long for some to decide to go to the source of the weapons and gather more. But by doing so, men begin know of them again and gradually they are pulled into war. Long bloody war that wears at their numbers until they are but a scant few.

When a place in a village is offered they are wary but accept. The man who offers smells of forest and growth, a memory of what their forests used to be while they still had the numbers to protect it. They could not refuse, not truly.

They ask for a compound on the edge of the village with the forests behind them. They are not asked why, so they do not tell of the wolves (summons now, for they left the mortal plain when too many of their kind passed on in the war and resources grew too few) that followed them.

But in this village they were not safe as promised for war touched this place too. Their numbers grew fewer yet and loyalty that was once wholly devoted to the pack was now divided between clan and village. But their traditions kept strong, and one day when a man with wolf summons went on a mission for his village, he returned with two teammates alive instead of dead. Good his summons growled. The team first as it should be. But the village did not agree and the man was soon dead and his child soon alone.

The child grew the best that a lonely pup could. Raised more by his own summons, a final gift from his father, than anyone else. The child found connection with his team, but did not realize they were pack too until it was too late.

At least that’s how it was until he got saddled with a team of his own three brats, one of which is at least just as wild as he is. Though, he notes watching the orange clad blonde yip in excitement, that one is more fox than wolf.

The wolves watch as this cub, more of a pup than a wolf after so long with only his patchwork pack to teach him how to hunt, how to live, how to survive. They watch him grow into his fangs then hide them away from the world behind a mask. They watch him lose everything over and over again.

They watch him find cubs of his own (well cubs and a kit) and bow to himself, to them whether he knows it or not, that he won’t allow history to repeat again.

The pack survives. Through storm and blood, through hunger and loss, through everything the pack would survive.

From The Ground Up

Words: 1,168

God of Storms AU: Farmer

Characters: Hatake Kakashi & Akimichi Choji

“I’ll help you with the harvest this year. In fact, I’ll bring the students along and you can give them a nice lesson about farming.”

Kakashi had just stared at Gai. Not a single word came out of his mouth as he tried to think of an excuse, any excuse, for Gai not to come to his farm and help with the harvesting. Nothing came to mind, unfortunately, and rather than detouring his lover from coming to a farm that didn’t actually exist, Kakashi had put on an act and promised him that he’d supply lunch for everyone.

There was just one thing he needed to do before they came over.

“A farm?” Choji, the God of harvests, stared at him. “You want me to help you build a farm?”

“A small one, with some eggplants maybe, but yes.”

Choji raised an eyebrow. “You can build a farm on your own.”

“I could,” he agreed. “But only you have the capabilities to take the seeds I plant and make them grow in an instant. That’s not within my power.”

“Right,” examining the p[lot of land that Kakashi had picked out, he began drumming his fingers against his cheek. A small thing that he always seemed to do when he was thinking really deeply.

“So,” stepping forward, Kakashi waved his hand out in front of himself and watched as a small house, just big enough for one person, rose from the ground and took shape. “What I need is some vegetables. Things that would grow in the spring.”

Everything had to be believable, and he had made the mistake of falling in love with a well-educated man. If he had even one crop growing out of season Gai would know something was up, and this was a lifetime he didn’t want to read about in the history books that mortals wrote. They always got so much information wrong. For once he just wanted to keep his precious memories to himself, untouched by those who would misinterpret them.

“Spring vegetables,” Choji nodded, the wheels in his mind beginning to spin. “Well, we could start with a nice peach tree near the house. It won’t bloom around this time, but every farmer has a fruit tree.”

“A fruit tree,” Kakashi nodded along with Choji’s words. “That does sound nice.”

Peaches also happened to be one of Gai’s favorite fruits, so that was a bonus.

“One peach tree beside the house,” Waving a hand, Choji grinned as a tree grew right beside the house, leaves extending out of the branches and reaching out in every direction. “And one beside the field,” as he waved his other hand the two of them watched as a second tree grew. This one came out of the ground on the far end of the plot, marking a perfect boundary for the land with two simple trees. “And now that we have trees,” he turned his attention to the land and raised his arms. “It’s time for the vegetables.’

Kakashi watched in amazement as the empty land burst to life. Snap Endou* grew close to the furthest peach tree and some small wooden poles sprang up beside them, allowing them to wrap around them for support. Next came some Nanohana*, and then some Soramame*.

One by one the vegetables arrived side by side until the small plot was overflowing with them. What had been an empty plot of land just a few short minutes ago, was now one of the most beautiful farms Kakashi had ever seen.

It almost looked like a farmer had actually poured all of their hard work and love into creating it.

“You are…”

“Going to get one-third of the vegetables when your boyfriend is done harvesting them,” Choji finished for him, his smile now splitting across his face. “Right?”

“Only half?” the number was surprising. Given the situation, he had expected Choji to ask for all of the vegetables that he’d grown or at least ninety percent of them. One-third felt like he was cheating the Harvest God out of his well-earned reward.

“It’s enough,” Choji assured him as he looked over the garden. “The other two-thirds can go to the village. I’m sure there are some people who could make use of it.”

It was true. Kakashi could think of at least five people he had seen in the village who could use a little more food on their plate. In Gai’s classroom there were two kids who always looked underfed, and never turned down an offering of someone else’s untouched food.

“Always so kind,” he whispered. “First you help me make an entire garden just to keep up my ruse, and then you offer over half of that garden to others.”

“Am I supposed to keep it for myself?” Choji asked.

“No,” only the cruel would choose to hoard something they didn’t need, and cruel was the last word he would ever use to describe Choji.

It was a descriptor more suited for Kakuzu, or Danzo.

“I’ll be back tomorrow evening for my food,” Choji promised with a kind smile. “Oh, and good luck.”

With that he disappeared, leaving Kakashi standing alone in front of his beautiful new farm. A farm that had taken him and Choji a combined two minutes to create, and which would take even less time to get rid of after Gai’s visit tomorrow.

“Or maybe,” he whispered, a thought springing to mind all of a sudden. “It seems silly, but perhaps keeping it would be beneficial.”

A sprinkle of seeds over the ground, and some light rain would do wonders for the vegetation. Plus, if he ever had trouble growing the crops he could always ask Choji for a little bit of help.

If everything went smoothly tomorrow, which he hoped it did, Gai would want to visit again. Not just for harvests, but for sewing and caring as well.

The farm would become another place for them to spend time together, even if it was only once in a while. Tearing it down and rebuilding it every time Gai wanted to visit would become tiresome rather quickly.

For his sanity, it would be better to simply keep it up and care for it. After all, caring for a farm was easy for a God.

“Yes,” he decided. “I think I'll keep it around. At least for now.”

With that decided, he lifted his hand and waved it toward the garden. With a little effort and a lot of thought, he created one final piece for an already perfect plot of land.

Something to make it feel a bit more like home.

“Perfect,” he grinned. “Gai will love it.”

There, in the middle of the field surrounded by picture-perfect vegetables, stood his final masterpiece.

The most beautiful scarecrow he’d ever seen, with long grey pants and a black t-shirt stuffed full of straw, a potato sack with the Henohenomoheji drawn on the front of the head, and a little straw dog at its side.

Okay, hear me out.

Imagine having been attracted to Kakashi for years and then being on a mission away from Konoha with him. You planned on just sleeping in the forest with one of you keeping watch, but there is a terrible storm coming.

It starts pouring and there's thunder and lightning and wind and it's so bad it's not safe outside anymore.

So both of you are just running to find some kind of shelter and to your relief you find an inn. But - there is only one room with one bed left *gasp* How unexpected. 😱

So you have no choice but to take the room because you're both soaking wet from the storm. And you're eyeing each other really closely as you come out of the small bathroom after taking a shower. Both just covering up with tiny towels from the inn but also kind of wanting the other person to look.

As you are both trying to sleep in that little, single bed, the heat and the sexual tension just becomes too much to take. So when you realize that he cannot sleep either you just get overwhelmed with the passion and desire to fuck him right then and there. You straddle his hips and start grinding on him, your pussy already so wet it soaked your panties.

But Kakashi can't stand the fact that he didn't make the first move and that he is not in control so he grabs you and turns you and just growls "Not like this. I have been fantasizing about his for too long. This is not how I imagined it". And then he kisses you passionately and demanding while laying on top of you with your legs over his shoulders and absolutely destroying your pussy for the rest of the night.

Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest to get it out of my head. That man drives me crazy.

Anyway, thanks for bearing with me ✌️

MY GOD I AM LISTENING AND THIS HAD ME GIGGLING.

no because he loves to take control in bed. he’s always wanting to make the first move, and if he doesn’t he’ll make sure to take over once you’ve gotten everything started. he’s such a dirty talker too 😩. ugh, could you imagine him talking to you? UGHHHHHH HE DRIVES ME INSANE

The missing Rock Lee moment

So I love Rock Lee

And I still can't get over his lesser role in Shippudden

(I understand that Kishimoto outlined a good chunk of Shippuden with the possibility Lee was dead because of part 1 stuff)

(And Naruto SD was made because of his massive popularity but it's also not canon so...)

But once you get past team 7

Shikamaru Hinata and Lee should have been the next three to get more focus imo

Shikamaru obviously got it

Hinata even though she didn't get the win like Shikamaru had a big moment in the pain arc and if not she has the moments in the war and the whole the last movie

Lee didn't have one major moment in manga canon Shippuden (as they give stuff to him in fillers and the movies he's in)

As him throwing the kunai in the war is not big enough for me

And it would be a lot to rewrite Shippuden to give Lee his arc but also a keep the plot and story the same for the most part it's hard to do that

And the one idea I had kinda changes things but I think could work

Lee should of beat Kisame instead of Gai/Guy

So for Gai’s and Kisame’s last fight we got to see the peak of Gai before the eighth gate

But especially with hindsight, we didn't need to see Gai at his “peak” then as we get to see it later on against Madara

So my proposal is that whether Lee tags along or is going instead of Gai to the Island with Naruto and co when it's time to fight Kisame Lee is the one that goes seventh gate and gets the win

As even though the Gai vs Kisame thing was built up since part 1

This way it can be more compared to the Kakashi vs Itachi

Had the part 1 fight post Konoha Crush, then the clone part in the Kazekage rescue mission then nothing. As Sasuke “defeats” Itachi, the “student” did it instead which I think can be mirrored with Lee

As it wasn't intended to be with Sasuke and Kakashi but it's a good passing of the torch moment that can be used with Lee and Gai

As I can see Kisame being disappointed to fight the essentially mini Gai that he trapped with the water prison but then with Lee being serious and his no ninjutsu being a problem for Kisame being turned into a more serious battle

Plus with dialogue can have Lee give the bond and history he has with Gai and how Lee will taken his masters place and etc

And Lee can get Hirudora or if not can make something up like that Leaf Dragon God from the filler episode

As I think since Gai gets his big moment against Madara, we can sacrifice his Kisame win to give Lee his big moment

Plus it's a different kind of revenge moment, Sasuke Naruto and Shikamaru got it because their person died

Lee’s didn't die but their bond makes Lee want to honor and uphold his sensei amongst other things like his own pride in getting stronger

But yeah that's my suggestion as power wise Lee going seventh gate doesn't change anything as its kinda implied he can we just didn't see it plus the line about Gai saying to Lee to watch closely can mean more as we know more firmly that Lee is one gate away and not potentially two

And story-wise Gai’s moments on the island are gone but that's now Lee for the most part and can maybe build on the more brotherly rivalry friendship bond Lee and Naruto had

And in the war it still will make sense Lee would be behind Gai and everything plus Gai with Kakashi doesn't change much either

So yeah the only really negative is that we don't get the real conclusion to the Gai vs Kisame fights and Hirudora potentially

And with the tag-along example if they fight him together they can do that team-up beatdown they did in the filler that even got loosely adapted as an ultimate in storm 4

That's my “simple” change

(Jazz hands) ROLE REVERSAL

7:30 AM · Nov 19, 2017

Kakashi sensei is a.... character. He's very precise and very relaxed individual, his students claim him to be lazy - until they find themselves in a lecture. He's very thorough and adamant.

He's the only person in the damn village to give Naruto his full undivided attention. It morphs into some sort of family bond later and he wants to tear his eyes out bc of it.

Kakashi regularly makes sure the kid is eating his veggies. And cares so much ab him passing his final exam he ends up fighting Mizuki and getting a huge damn shuriken through his back

Naruto cries and does KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU and passes and now Kakashi is crying bc his son is happy and sage (and not bc of the pain no)

Iruka Umino ex elite anbu ninja, failed all his previous genin teams cause they never meet his impossibly high standards gets assigned Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke

Kakashi is gonna piss himself bc of course Naruto would end up with that guy! Of course! Still worried if Nar will pass tho. He thinks he did a FAB job teaching them

Iruka sorta jokes around with them - his prankster days never died - and finds their complete uncoordination appalling. Bad match up, awful, why these three together - oh wait, they have empathy for another? That's new

So he signs up as their jounin sensei. He's actually kinda excited - don't let Anko find out, she'll tell everyone he actually likes kids.

And then Naruto drags him to a ramen stand and they're waiting for someone --- "Iruka sensei please meet Kakashi neechan!" "Naruto they're Konoha ninja they probably know each other"

And simultainously both Iruka and Kakashi go "Naruto respect your elders" bc they are not having this kid go around calling Kakashi his brother /in public/

They smile. This won't be so bad. Cut to four weeks down the road when Kakashi hires them to wash his dogs for the 3rd time annonsomsly.

Pakkun is tired of these brats being so rough, so he goes "I can't believe Kakashi hired you all again" The room goes quiet. Iruka bites his cheek to keep from laughing. Naruto explodes. Sakura and Sasuke join him. They're throwing wet sponges everywhere

It's chaos and loud and everything is sogged and Kakashi races onto the scene like "stop this!!!" Naruto throws a soggy sponge at him like "you stop hiring us to wash yoyr dogs!!!"

Iruka is laughing his was off as Kakashi and Naruto argue over the benefit of this job. Sakura and Sasuke resume washing the dogs. Pakkun regrets.

By the end of it, Kakashi is serving dinner in the hatake mansion to his previous students and their new teacher and all his dogs. He says he hates it but he's lying

ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CUTE JOUNIN SENSEI OFFERS HIS ASSITANCE. god damn you could bounce a yen off that man's ass

Now Iruka gets them a super cool mission bc they won't stop complaining - Sasuke has started voicing his opinions dear gods - they're escorting an old guy to the wave country

He repeats himself like "children. This is work and you need to be responsible. We are protecting a civilian from harm. Don't be a hero. You will die."

So Zabuza shows up like EYYY LEMME AT EM and Naruto almost dies ish but yo look at that kyubii magic. Haku shows up like "thanks for that" and they all leave

They make it to their destination but can't go home because there's a shitty storm and so Iruka teaches the kids how to climb trees like the monkeys they oughta be

But like, he not only gives them the basics, but a lecture on it too so maybe visualising the process in their head will help. He gets them to try walking along the walls barefoot - they pretty much succeed

So he takes them into the wilderness like "now try that on these trees" and Sakura fucking masters it in one go.

Sasuke and Naruto return to Iruka for instruction, and Iruka rubs his chin like "alright, you both learn by doing, yeah, so here's what we do" and constructs this obstacle course in the woods for them

He's got a thin board over a puddle of mud like "you can stay on using balance, but if i don't see you walk across as you would on ground, you're getting pushed off."

So Sasuke ends up fighting it out before Naruto and Naruto gets crabby bc of it, but now Sasuke and Sakura are very interested in keeping him on par with their skills. So they give him tips and pointers. Iruka couldn't be more proud

On the day Naruto gets it, and they decide to take their training to the water - the gang attacks. And it's solved in like zero minutes bc Iruka is a seals master and thanks to barrier tag traps everything is ok

They all get arrested and somehow Zabuza and Haku flee but no one is too worried bc they're together and that's all that matters

So they stick around to help construction - Iruka thinks it'll give them more stamina and there's chakra control practice by walking on the water. Which they all get sorta, Naruto sinks a little but he's still upright so!

They return to little fan fare but Kakashi's dumb worrying face that is the same as his regular face but u can tell bc his eyes are a little more open. He treats them to ichiraku

Team 7 is like "Kakashi watch this!" And the three of them are walking up the walls and ceiling of his dining room like cicadas and he might cry if Iruka wasn't laughing

"They named the bridge after Naruto!" He says, "I did all the work and he gets the name bc he's too likable!" Kakashi smiles fondly under his mask like 'ain't that the truth'

So circa chunin exams Iruka has taught them more neat ninja skills - Sasuke finds seals to be hella interesting, Sakura has apparently some super rare bloodline and Kakashi's old friend is giving her lessons on that and Naruto is....

Naruto is interested in summoning. He likes the idea of calling things into existence. Kakashi won't help by explaining how his ninken summoning works and Gai's student Tenten isnt too hot on tutorial either

So Iruka has been writing letters up the Wahoo to Jiraiya to try and get the man's help. "Come back." He pleads. "Naruto wants to summon."

So Jiraiya returns solely to fight Iruka for being a nag. Literally. "Iruka Umino you're just like your mother. Annoying." Iruka flicks a smoke bomb at the old man and they play this game of cat and mouse

Only each time Iruka uses a smoke bomb, he's been planting a barrier seal attached to a kunai that's been laced with chakra wire. He's weaving a basket around Jiraiya and catches the old fart in 40 minutes

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi and Tenzou stare in awe. Iruka just did that. "Naruto, this man will teach you how to summon frogs. Have fun" and leaves. The audience stares at the space he had been and Jiraiya snorts.

So this is how Jiraiya teaches Naruto how to summon. Sasuke vows to be as good as Iruka one day. Sakura and Tenzou build a dog house for Kakashi's dogs. And Kakashi finds Iruka alone at the noodle stand

He's like "whyd you leave like that" "Oh you see, you have to leave Jiraiya alone with what you want him to do. It's the only way." "No really" "Ok I was starving and am not going to pay for Naruto's bottomless pit let alone four more mouths"

And they have a weird date and discuss the upcoming Curnin exams. They agree the kids would be good to go. Iruka laments he idea of getting stuck in a scroll for three days - hes a busy man (and ex anbu! Like!) and Kakashi takes his shoulder "I'll do it"

So they make plans that if their kids try the chunin exams and pass the first round - Kakashi will be there in the scroll for when they pass. It has been decided.

So when the exams get announced, Naruto has one animal summon, Sasuke has five neat barrier tricks and ten more up for circumstance and Sakura can create and will wooden blocks. Plus they all have stellar chakra control!

Iruka thinks they're good to fucking go. Plus he's socialized them well so they shouldn't be picking fights with other Konoha shinobi bc they think they're better than them. He scoffs, imagine, Sasuke picking a fight with Rock Lee! What a weird world that'd be!

They're weirded put by the sand sibs but like, this is before Power of Friendship Gaara so who isn't, really. Iruka's already planning playdates bc jinjurikis should prob stick together, ya know, bond with those who know your suffering

Kakashi is looking over Iruka's shoulder like "dont. Do not write that. Gaara will not come over - he's the Wind's tailed beast we can't trust him"

So the kids pass their first test. Naruto just fakes it, doesn't write nothing, completely confident. Sakura and Sasuke get everything filled out with the correct answers.

So Kakashi gets wasted the night before he goes into the seal. Iruka shows up like at 8 like "don't forget! The thing is tomorrow" And by the power of booze, joy and fondness he kisses Iruka smack on the lips.

They pull apart, Iruka dazzled and looking a little deshelved, Kakashi a dumb love struck smile, and Kakashi closes the door humming.

Iruka kind of staggers home. Lost. Confused. Warm. Light. Cheeks burning and a smiling tugging at his weary frown.

So now it's morning of the second exam, Kakashi is fighting off a mild hangover and as he's getting set up to do the thing, he catches Iruka skirt around the room, why isn't he saying hello --- oh no.

So he's stuck in the scroll - idk can they do stuff in that void, are they just sleeping, suspended animation - for what feels like forever

Iruka HAS NOT been avoiding Kakashi bc of last night's kiss. Nah, he forgot it happened until he made coffee. He's just literally on security detail and can't say hello bc anbu mask - why is Kakashi staring at him???

Kakashi seems to know that he's the monkey or sm bc he won't take his eyes off him and it's pissing Iruka off so he blows the dumb man a kiss He sartles out of his trance and looks away. Iruka rolls his eyes and Anko takes his attention.

Later she's going to seriously ask him if he and Kakashi are a thing. He is going to sputter his beer into her face. She is going to pull a knife and go "try that again lover boy and you won't have any lips" Gods she's awful

So as a weird brother figure, he confirms that they have had one (1) kiss and that he catches Kakashi refer to team 7 as "their kids" often

Anko's grin might tear her face in two. "I win! That's so much money! No one thought you'd go for lazy chunin sensei Kakashi Hatake BUT I CALLED IT!" Iruka is so shocked he can't ask her to be quiet or how ---- "Come on, I know your type, family men."

He diverts the conversation to the examination bc holy shit he can't deal with any of this information. "You met Naruto today didn't you?" "Oh yeah, that kids a riot. Almost had him shit his pants. Good kid."

Iruka buys her a drink for that. Can't have that kid too comfortable around strangers. So they get off their break and return to work. Anko's going back to the tower and Iruka is going to patrol.

Nothing worth noting on the go, pretty quiet and nice, kinda worrying bc of all the foreign ninja - they /all/ can't be this chill can they??? So Iruka clocks out and heads to his fave ramen stand

Anko slithers in after he orders his second bowl and she's like "the money from the bet." He looks at her like 'why aren't you using this to buy more dango??'

"Look I was the only other person besides Asuma who bet on Kakashi. Out of our group" Iruka grimaces, all the ninja in the village have been placing bets on his love life. "So split between me and Asuma, I still have 5000 yen left. Figured to give you half"

"What because you can make easy money off of my love life?" "Nonsense! I still haven't decided what to bet on for your love life!" She looks out of existence like a true shadow clone and Iruka uses the 2500 yen to buy more ramen

What had happened was that Asuma had seen Iruka dressed in his anbu monkey mask entertaining a sullen Kakashi years and years ago. He told Anko one night, piss drunk and now they support it

Iruka doesn't remember the encounter, there's so much bs from being a child in anbu that makes him forget the good times. Kakashi recalls clearly that summer's day when Monkey tried to cheer him up.

Kakashi has the sharingan, but it's also dead. He was able to become a teacher bc he was useless and not an asset to the village.

So depression and ptsd from loosing his friends and family took it's toll and now he thinks it best if he can help teach these children so that maybe these mistakes won't happen again

Anyway so the kids breeze through the forest of certain death like a cake walk, got through as the 4th team they were so good at it Sakura punched kabuto in the face on reflex and he dropped his scroll and since Iruka hadn't introduced them, they dont trust him lmao

They do the scroll thing and out pops Kakashi Sensei with the most stupid smile on his face like "yo. Congrats, you passed" and it's kinda the least climatic thing to happen to them all week.

So the four of them hang around the tower until it's finished - Kakashi has no where to be, he had booked a week off for this. So the kids share with him their new skills - and he supervises spars between the kids who've finished.

The sand sibs end up watching the leaf genin fight each other, and Kakashi asks them if they want to join in. "It'll be like class!" The rookie nine all groan, fuck you Kakashi sensei

So he organises a short spar competition. Five minutes each fight and no weapons, no shots to kill. He includes Gaara in on it and kankuro and temari freeze up. Gaara just nods, slightly pissy but also confused.

So he's got the sand genin and the leaf genin play fighting each other while they wait for the actual fights to clear up. It's not until Rock Lee and Naruto are giving Gaara of the Sand taijutsu pointers that the irony dawns on him.

Monkey shows up like "Hatake-sensei what the fuck is going on here" and Kakashi is no where near afraid of the anbu in the room But the fight stops dead Naruto pipes up "eeeehhhh we're just socializing properly Iruka-sensei, what's the big deal" Everyone stops. Kakashi chokes

Iruka laughs, takes off his mask and smashes it, "well, so much for that." He looks at the group if kids with a big smile, "So are you all being nice to each other?"

We have Shino and Kankuro gushing ab bugs, in the corner, the girls all huddled together like they were always meant to be best friends, Rock Lee and Naruto and Sasuke talking to Gaara like he's not some monster

Kiba and Neiji were just in the middle of a mock flight, still froze stiff. Naruto goes "yes /daaad/ now go kiss Kakashi sensei or something, we're on to something here" And he turns back to the other boys like nothing he just said was life changing.

Iruka sits back down next to kakashi, who has picked up the shards of the mask and the kids continue existing as if they didn't have any supervision

"Was it really that obvious?" Iruka asks. Kakashi isn't sure what he's asking about, be it Monkey, their dumb mutual crush or their family fondness over these brats. But the answer is the same to all of these questions. "Yeah,"

So they watch Neiji and Kiba fight, then watch Ino and Temari spar, their hands lightly laced together as Kakashi hides his face behind a book

Eventually Naruto gets loud and very agitated, Iruka goes over to check on him. "It's the stupid seal, me n Sasuke can't fix it" Turns out Gaara has his stomach exposed to display the shoddiest seal work ever.

"Do you want me to do it?" "See knucklehead, I said Iruka sensei would know what to do!" "Yeah but he's my damn friend I wanna be the one to help!" Iruka smiles and almost cries bc Naruto is so honest and gaara looks startled

Temari and kankuro join them like "you can… Help him??" As if they can't believe the words coming out of his mouth Iruka nods, "it's a simple seal, but I can patch it up and add more so that it doesn't wear away." They look to be near tears

Naruto grins and looks to his new friend like "See, told ya, we jinjuriki gotta stay together" and Gaara looks so lost, the poor boy. So Kakashi suanders over like "damnit Iruka"

So Iruka whips up a draft to show them, explains what it does, compares it to Naruto's and Gaara's, all the kids are pretty engrossed with what he's saying and Sasuke is writing notes

We're back tracking to the first time team Naru-Sasu-Saku meet Iru

So Iruka's like "ah yes hello I'm Iruka Umino, I'll be your jounin instructor - if you pass my own genin examination. If not, you're all getting sent back to the academy! But I'd like to meet you all first"

So they do the thing they do in canon, where Sakura goes "I like Sasuke" Naruto goes "I'm gonna be the Hokage" and Sasuke does his "I want revenge" bc he's been festering in hate for the last 82 years

But instead of "oh well you're all weird kids" Iruka almost looses his mind and almost sends them all back then and there

Alright, alright, he goes, you're all children, but these things aren't gonna help you become ninja. Naruto, your goal is admirable, good, that's good. Least stupid. Tells me how far you're willing to go.

Sakura, you being in love tells me you can form bonds - which is good for teamwork, but you need to take it back a bit, and bond with your other team mates as well.

And then he turns to Sasuke. Revenge will not help you. You will not gain anything from that. Bad things are always happening and there's never any reason for it. He tells off Sasuke for his bs bc Iruka doesn't have a filter and will fight these kids

And the kids are like Sasuke: offended Sakura: offended Natuto: laughing his ass off

"I'd like to send you all back to the academy for this but! I said I was gonna give you all a chance to be full fledged genin. So! Here's my test!" And makes this weird quiz thing that is sorta like the bell test where the goal is for them to display teamwork 5:59 PM · Dec 3, 2017
