au where orochimaru manages to use edo tensei to summon madara at some point pre-canon

tsunade: where'd you even get his dna?

orochimaru: oh the senju mansion

tsunade: ...why was uchiha madara's dna in my grandfather's house?

orochimaru: ...are you in the right headspace to receive information that could possibly hurt you

I think part of what makes the older (50+) Naruto characters so interesting is that they're functionally from a very different time period than the main characters. I mean the Sannin, Danzō, Hiruzen, etc. Like Tsunade is literally Hashirama's granddaughter! He was still alive when she was young!

When you take into consideration how new the villages were when they were growing up, it really provides so much more insight into their actions and their thought processes. These are people who grew up when things were still new, still unstable, still full of the hesitation and trepidation of the promise of a better future. Of course they were willing to do anything they thought would help keep it. In their eyes it was still uncertain, and they wanted to hold onto anything that would stabilize it

#no matter how much hiruzen and danzō suck i will always be fascinated by them because they truly thought they were doing the right thing #it's wild but it's so interesting to think about #personal #naruto meta #naruto analysis #naruto #naruto shippudden #densetsu no sannin #hiruzen sarutobi #danzo shimura #tsunade #orochimaru #jiraiya #fandom: naruto #type: meta

The whole “three-way deadlock” metaphor for the Sannin doesn’t really hold up once you realize Tsunade could easily snap the other two in half.

Naruto AU

Aight so I’ve got this idea in my head about a Sannin-centric Naruto AU where all the Sannin still leave the village but like in the same situation of like Jiraiya’s departure. Meaning that they’re still kind of loyal (yes, even Orochimaru) and they still help the village in little ways but they just don’t live there. So anyway, in this AU the shinobi population of Konoha are kind of sick and tired of the third hokage and all his fuckery. Since he’d been reinstated after the Kyuubi attack, he made lots of decisions (Hyuuga affair, segregation of Uchiha clan, etc.) that just really frayed his relationship with the shinobi. Basically, at this point everyone’s like “we need to get that old man out of that fucking chair” and Hiruzen agrees! He thinks he’s way too old to still be doing this shit. He already retired once for a reason. But of course there’s no one in the village who can really replace him. No one really has both the strength as a shinobi and political clout necessary to becoming a Kage and the only people that do are kind of fucked in the head (coughcoughdanzocoughcough). So everyone’s thinking it over and then someone’s like “hey. why don’t we drag the Sannin back to Konoha” and Hiruzen’s like “yes I think we should do that.

Now the Sannin, during this time (I imagine they all left pre Kyuubi attack), have been wandering around the elemental nations collecting kids. Jiraiya went to Ame and fully adopted Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato and now the four of them are a part of Konoha’s spy network (fuck the akatsuki and fuck making ame a better place). The kids gained Konoha jounin status by working with Jiraiya and shit.

Tsunade, of course, is running around with Shizune and Tenzo, still an alcoholic but not as anti-Konoha as she is in canon before Naruto drags her ass back. Shizune is also a Konoha jounin who is a medic-nin and poison specialist. Tenzo, in my head, is the biological child of Dan and Tsunade and was born with Mokuton which isn’t as powerful as his great-grandfather’s but is strong nonetheless. So Tenzo and Shizune are cousins.

Now Orochimaru. I absolutely adore Orochimaru in this AU. Loyal/good Orochimaru is my shit but add motherhen Orochimaru to the mix and I’m properly dead (i mostly thought of this AU by having constant intrusive thoughts of Orochimaru being the best parent/teacher anyone could ever ask for) When Orochimaru left the village, he left with little Anko right on his heels. They traveled and shit doing their mad scientists thing and pick up a couple gremlins along the way. First, they get Kabuto, who is living with Yakushi Nonou. Nonou lets Orochimaru leave with Kabuto with the promise that he’ll make Kabuto a fucking great leaf shinobi (and with the promise to visit lots :) ). Next, they rescue Karin from being a slave for those shinobi (and they help Karin with burning down the village for killing her mother or whatever) Then, with the help of Karin’s sensor abilities, they find Kimimaro locked in the tiny ass dirty ass cage the Kaguya clan locked him in while they weren’t using him as a dog to sic on whoever they’re fighting and Orochimaru’s just like “the Kaguya clan is too distracted getting massacred to notice me taking this malnourished and unloved child to take care of” And then, once again with the help of Karin’s sensor abilities, they find Juugo hiding in a tree near his burning village and its just like “oh no a lonely child who’s entire life was just destroyed time to adopt” Juugo mostly agrees because with the despair of losing everything he’s ever known he loses control of his powers and he just goes all monster when he gets mad like he does in canon and Kimimaro’s kekkei genkai is the only thing that can control him when he gets like that. Finally, they complete their crew with the addition of baby Mitsuki who is not a test tube baby but as an abandoned baby who was weirdly left in a dense chakra zone (think a body of land that seems to be so imbued with chakra that it feels like the land is alive (kind of like how Uzushio is often depicted in fanon)). 

So the Sannin are all walking around with their kids and sometimes they interact with each other occasionally. Like when Kimimaro begins showing signs of sickness Orochi immediately bum-rushes Tsunade and is like “my kid’s dying fic him.” Or like sometimes they all just get together and chill with each other. Sometimes Jiraiya and Orochi meet up so Karin and Nagato can spend some cousin time together. Maybe they even take them to the ruins of Uzushiogakure to find some of their clan’s fuuinjutsu so they can learn it. 

And boy do I have an idea for the Uzumaki Clan archives !! I’ll get into later since I’m getting so far off track.

So anyway the Sannin are training their kids and making super powerful shinobi and all of the kids become leaf shinobi with the permission of Hiruzen because he knows what his students have been getting up to. But like the rest of the Konoha doesn’t know about them. So when the Sannin are called back to Konoha to discuss the future of the village everyone’s kind of like, “why the fuck is there so much people we only asked for like three” Introductions and new friendships ensue.

-

I’m totally gonna flesh out this idea later and I might even make a whole AU tag. This will become my magnum opus.

thinking about the sannin and abandonment and the past following you wherever you go no matter how hard you try to leave it behind and staying and clinging to whatever you have left until it twists you into something unrecognizable and chases you out and clinging to it even after that while getting worse and worse and watching everything you love die and pushing away whatever you have left and abandoning people who need you because staying is killing you and leaving and leaving also killing you and the worst coping mechanisms known to man and trying so hard not to remember when you were just three kids with a teacher who adored you before everything collapsed in on itself now none of you can stand the sight of each other and the devastation of war and fame gained through clinging to your life and being so defined by survival that you forget to do anything else and people trying to rely on you when you can't even rely on you and dying alone with your regrets and the endless cycle of rebirth and alcoholism

#naruto #naruto shippuden #the legendary sannin #densetsu no sannin #jiraiya #senju tsunade #orochimaru #sarutobi hiruzen #i know jiraiya is. awful but. i do like him when he's not being gross #and there's a Lot going on there. it's just that the grossness is also there a lot #tsunade is so full of issues. like so full of them #also i find it really interesting how jiraiya left and tsunade left and orochimaru stayed #he always had problems too ofc but he became what he became because unlike jiraiya and tsunade he didn't leave #until he had to #how jiraiya and tsunade left for selfish reasons but were ultimately right to do so #how orochimaru stayed and destroyed himself #how sarutobi was the catalyst for so much bc he cared too much in the wrong ways #trusting people you've known for so long and trying so hard to be the man your teacher thought you could be #but never fully realizing the flaws in him or in your comrades or your students or yourself #being given a mantle you didn't ask for bc you offered yourself up as a sacrifice #being placed on a pedestal and being too afraid to step away from it or view yourself outside of it #being a sad tired old man who tried too hard in the wrong ways and not enough in the right ones #dying at the hands of someone you adored but also abandoned in your own right #loyalty and treachery and becoming something new and trying and failing and the consequences of your actions #killing someone you love. loving the person who's killing you. being morned by people who should and one day will hate you #fighting for an ideal that doesn't exist and never existed and never could exist but you can't admit it or else what's the point #living in a world that no longer remembers what a childhood looks like and maybe never knew to begin with #the world breaks you and everyone you love and you break yourself and the world and everyone you love and everyone you love breaks you too #also there's monkeys

[jaguarys]

Out of all the characters' dynamics I will literally always return to the Sannin because how could you not... the deadlock. The fallout of decades of love.

There's nowhere they can go from where they are. No way to fix it. Because it's been too long and there's been so much time to grow bitter. They've hurt each other in too many ways to be able to see eye to eye in ways that no one else could. Because they knew each other so well, knew everything about one another or thought they did. And in the end that knowledge is only used to twist the knife.

The love and hate and exhaustion in their relationship is just so palpable.

Character Statistics: Naruto, Densetsu no Sannin

Genin

--- Chuunin

--- Jounin

--- Legend

--- Tsunade

Orochimaru

Jiraiya

~

A/N: The Sannin! I made the Sannin because I do have a fanfic revolving around a team of contemporaries and I needed to make sure they were consistently less (but not too much so) than the Legendary Three. The series is called (In)Difference, but this is independent of that.

So... please let me know if anything looks off to you or if you think there are some data points that ought to be adjusted.

I’m not entirely sure when in the timeline they became chuunin and jounin ranked respective to the shinobi world wars (because... time is weird in the Naruto world) so... I am open to alternatives and if the logic is sound then I’ll edit the data.

Please enjoy! :D

edit: tweaked Orochimaru’s Jounin Speed
