#one being that the Hatake Clan is not a Konoha clan
Text
Kakashi being made Hokage before the war, maybe just before Tsunade wakes up and she decides that he’s gonna keep the stupid job, has potential to be funny
Cuz when Hashirama finds out Konoha had a fourth Hokage he asked about who the new one is
And like
If Orochimaru had said ‘Hatake Kakashi’ the reaction for Hashirama would have been blank, same with Tobirama
But you cannot tell me Hiruzen wouldn’t have shown concern. Man took Kakashimout of Anbu for being ‘too soft’ and considered Itachi ‘Hokage material’ for *checks notes* slaughtering his clan
He thinks this was a bad call
Minato thoug? Man is STRUGGLING between very concerned because the last time he saw his student he was in TERRIBLE condition, but also proud cuz HIS STUDENT IS THE HOKAGE
HE is only slightly disappointed when Orochimaru explains that it was Kakashi’s connection to Sakumo that got him the spot, and Hiruzen is now even more against this choice XD

FINAL ROUND
HATAKE KAKASHI vs SENJU TSUNADE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reasons for submission under the cut
Kakashi
relatable as an adult
he is just an overworked guy who was told to watch some kids w LOTS of issues
needs therapy
good presence and guidance in Narutos life
interesting
cares about and is dedicated to his students very much
he is just cool
he is trying his best despite what he has been through in the past
is up for having fun but still knows when to be serious
was a narcissistic shit but grew out of it
has good intentions
sexy
wonderfully complex and well developed character
incredibly resilient and supportive
a sad and deeply broken man
always willing to give his life to protect them and his other precious people
just wanted everything to be ok for once in his life
hated Danzo
his friendship with Gai is adorable
the way he teases Tenzo is fun
he’s known as cool and aloof but in reality he’s a huge dork
Gai would want him to win
Tsunade
milf….
was the best hokage
the regulation she created to include medics on every team saved so many lives
she's funny and a complex and interesting character
is a bad bitch
probably THE most competently written female character in the entire series
she has a very rich history that plays into her character's actions and motivations
wanting to be the best medic-nin possible in order to save more lives because she lost her love Dan, and also change the way ninja squads operated to always have a medic to save more lives did so much for the better during the war to reduce casualties
after being broken down by so many people she cares about dying, she dips and leaves behind ninja society, which has taken everything from her (including wiping out her clan)
because Tsunade is also one of the most legendary/strongest ninja alive, no one could really stop her or chain her down. It takes the conviction of a child who wants her to save the village and heal his friends to get her back to Konoha, despite the all the trauma she's endured
she's a medic with a fear of blood that overcomes that to fight her own teammate and beat his ass so Orochimaru stops killing and maiming people
she steps up to be a leader because it's what the new generation need and someone has to fix all the stuff broken by her selfish teammates and old teacher
the strongest female character both in physical strength and the strength of her writing. It's like she was written first as a character versus most of the other female characters being written first as Girl and Love Interest
Tsunade is vain and a chronic gambler and drunk, she is really brash and abrasive, she is traumatized. But she's also deeply caring, an incredibly accomplished woman, one of the smartest people/medics in the world, and a great leader
she's multi-layered. She is a woman, but her entire character isn't just Woman
finally finished the job on Jiraiya on previous poll
strong arms
she is strong and smart and quick as a whip but still soft and caring when it comes to her loved ones. Characters with rough exteriors who are mushy inside are very good

For the tsunami au
I really like the idea of Naruto being curious, and kind of like asking nudging questions towards Zabuza and Haku 
Asking where the name Uzumaki (his name his mothers name, not that he knows that yet) came from, where his clan (he has a clan) comes from ,out and away from the listening ears of his sensei and teammates, asking for stories and details and *answers* that he would never be able to get from Konoha. Not trusting (never trusting he’s been hurt too much) but hoping that for once his questions will have answers that they won’t just be ignored.
That Zabuza will see another child (like Haku) lost and hurting and well not take him in (Konoha would never allow it) but just fill the void that his sensei (to filled with grief to look pass the ghosts clouding his vision) and teammates (a boy stuck in a cycle of fear and hatred, and a girl who has not found herself yet) have never tried to fill.
I just desperately want Naruto to get some answers even if they have to come from a missing-nin when it should have come from people who care and love him
~🐍
If Naruto was to start probing Zabuza for Answers you had best believe Zabuza would give them.
Because look, Zabuza isn't stupid enough to think that he'll be able to make off with the kid, not here where the brat's blood is strongest, not with Hatake looking a little more on edge with each passing moment Zabuza spends around the little fishcake.
But ,,,
But it's too good of a chance to pass up. Not only as a way to get a subtle sort of fuck you over on both Hatake and Konoha as a whole but to garner some goodwill with the kid.
With, as far as Zabuza knows, one of the Last Known Uzumaki.
Plus Haku is fond of the brat, not that Zabuza is taking that too far into account of course.
And it never hurts to build connections, especially to someone whose sympathy to them and their cause might one day actually mean something.

"well, the Uzumaki and Uchiha have around 25-ish members again, which would allow them to be reinstated as clans allied to the village by charter right," Tobirama stated, entirely unfazed by the eyes of the many clan heads watching him speak. Itama shifted his tiny (painfully tiny, was he always that small??) body in his hold, gripping on tighter to his mother's fur collar. both he, Kawarama, and Nawaki were heartbreakingly silent through the whole ordeal, even when the resurrection started by way of the lost Hatake boy, Orochimaru.
"but the Hatake and Senju still only have less than 10 and 15 members respectively, meaning that there would be a power imbalance between the four newly resuscitated clans. given the feud that is, arguably, still active to some of us revenant, it doesn't seem wise to leave it be."
and that was the crux of the matter. several members of both the Uchiha and Senju that had been resurrected had died when the Senju-Uchiha blood feud had been ongoing. both his brothers (his brothers!!) had died far before the village had even been a thought in Hashirama's wood cork of a brain, along with Madara's own siblings, like his older brother Hidehiko, Izuna, their younger brother Matsuri and his twin sister Shouko, and their youngest sister Choushi. thats not even mentioning the adult shinobi under the same circumstances; 22 year old Senju Yasuiro and 28 year old Senju Fuushinshi had attacked and injured Uchiha Kouga, and also injured the man's 12 year old niece Uchiha Rukia, before Tobirama, Madara, Hashirama, and Mito managed to tie them all down.
(if Fuushinshi was sporting a break in his arm, in the same place as young Rukia, well. That was between Tobirama and his cousin.)
"Thats not even mentioning the non-clan shinobi who were resurrected, who, in all likelihood, are probably related to one of the four clans in question. if they become affiliated with said clans is entirely by their own choice." he said, his tone brokering no room for argument. Tobirama was honestly surprised that he hadn't been interrupted yet, but it might be the shock of having so many once-dead shinobi in Konoha's meeting hall.
pursing his lips ever so slightly, he looked to Hashirama, holding Kawarama who was making faces at Itama, then to Touka who was standing behind Mito and holding Nawaki. his brother tilted his head and Touka nodded, flickering her chakra in code pattern for 'plan, question.'
Tobirama sighed, mostly as a visual sign of reluctance for the other clan heads present. 'contract, agreement. kill, home-clan; fade, wild-clan.'
Hashirama's eyes sparkled, his smile not fading from his face in the slightest.
"our agreed upon solution to both the power imbalance and the lacking size of the Senju and Hatake clans is to incite the charter's directory number fourteen."
only two of the clan heads seemed to recognize what he was referencing, tjose being the Nara clan head, as expected, and Madara, who literally co-wrote the damn thing with him. Madara threw his head back with thundering laughter, which Tobirama related to on a personal level.
it was extremely ironic that the ones to end the Senju way of life would be the very people who had been hurt by it the most.
Itama jerked in his arms at the noise, so he adjusted his grip to hold him tighter. several eyes landed on the still laughing Madara, who Tobirama knew was not going to explain anything. the Nara head didn't look any worse, so he either knew what the Senju used to be like, or he simply didn't care.
Tobirama had expected most of the clans to not have invested in that particular article after it was written, but... he was extremely unpleased with Hiruzen's puzzled, near silent question of "the what?"
Madara's laughter died off with the (to most) unexpected line of, "wonderful play, Senju." vicious smile almost mocking to anyone unfamiliar with him. which was everyone except him, Mito, Hashirama, and Izuna.
Tobirama simply inclined his head in acknowledgement. he ran one hand through his hair, carefully avoiding the carefully disguised braids he'd tied into it this morning with Hashirama, Touka, and Orocchi.
"to answer your question, Hiruzen, 'the what' is the clause in the village's Constitution that states, 'when a clan is no longer large enough to support itself and its members, an allied clan who is willing and able are to induct the clan into their own, allowing the continued survival of the bloodline. this can be enacted when a clan's number drops beneath the range of the clan's expected member count.'"
clearing his throat, he continues on, projecting his voice to call over the now disorganized shinobi.
"in essence, this means that the senju will join either the Uchiha, Uzumaki, or Hatake clans, as those three have priority over other clans in the village due to both personal and blood relations being closest. thus, to avoid further power imbalance in the number of members to each resurrected clan, the Senju will be hosted by the Hatake clan."

[A Child's] Truth
Kakashi Hatake x reader / Kakashi Hatake and his son
requested by @revasserium - I have no idea what this is
Tumblr media
His name is Sakumo.
His name is Sakumo and he’s barely two weeks old, tiny hands curled around the blanket he’s wrapped in, tiny nose crunched up as he lets out a first whimper. It’s a warning, the beginning of a storm, eardrum-shattering wails, arms flailing in clear distaste.
His name is Sakumo and Kakashi can’t stop looking at him.
Ages ago, when your relationship had not yet been defined by words, the edges still of it still blurred by fear, he’d brought back a dog from his mission.
It had been a mutt from the streets, its fur a dirty mix between black and white, but his eyes had been a deep and trusting brown. 
He’d called it Ume and brought it home and his instinct had been right. You loved it dearly.
Ume slept in your bed when he was away, and brought in the newspaper early when you refused to wake up after a mission ending late. Sometimes he even came home to Pakkun curled up under Ume’s massive paw.
Kakashi liked to think that your communication did not need words. That it transcended beyond the written or spoken language. 
One time - he had been drunk - he even prided himself in being able to read your desires off the curve of your eyebrows. Thankfully it had only been Guy who had been witness to that and he’d sworn his friend to secrecy back then when it turned out that he, Kakashi, could do many things. But if he could have read your desires he sure as hell would not have come home wasted.
But even with a few hiccups here and there, he knew what you meant when you looked at him and you knew what he meant when he curled his fingers or scrunched up his nose. 
It made his home life quiet and his relationship so unspectacular that even the worst gossipers decided to look past the two of you.
Until you came back home from a mission with a baby bound to your back.
It wasn’t his as much as it wasn’t yours. At least biologically. 
But he could read it from the curve of your eyebrows and the slope of your nose that you had tied your life to this child, had thrown your heart at it and lept after it.
And who was he but your devoted disciple?
“His name is Sakumo.” You told him and placed the tiny bundle into his arms, the red of the blanket so fitting against his Hokage coat. 
Sakumo’s face was scrunched up, his head covered by a fluff of white hair and Kakashi could not lie. He fell in love for the second time in his life.
There is a risk in adopting a child from outside the village.
The information you’d been able to gather about him was sparse but sadly promising. 
He had no other relatives, no Clan to call his own. His mother had died bringing him to life, her last wish uttered as she had wrapped her hands around yours and begged you to take her son in. 
No one would come looking for him and Kakashi, who knew all to well how that felt like, vowed to always look after him.
As a child, he’d learned that there were two worlds.
The one adults made up and the one children had to live in.
Adults like to tell him that his father had been a coward, a disgrace to Konoha, someone not worth remembering.
But Kakashi had known the truth and had to live with the reality. No father, no mother, no one who’d come looking if he didn’t come home from training.
Sakumo would have a different life.
Sakumo would grow up in the Hokage tower and see the village as it is.
Filled with people who tried their best under rules that were meant to be bent when necessary. 
Sakumo would learn the truth.
That those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash, but, even more important, that he’d always have someone looking out for him.
His name is Sakumo Hatake.
He has white hair but is six years old. 
He is the son of Kakashi of the Sharingan but has no Kekkai Genkai. 
He has two dogs but loves cats a little bit more. 
He can tell you a lot of lies, but he knows the truth:
He’s named after his grandfather, a hero.

My Ideal Konoha Twelve Team Line-Ups
I got bored and decided to make a post about my ideal Konoha Twelve team line-ups that I think would do best for most to all the character, both students and teachers.
Team 7 Sensei: Kakashi Hatake Students: Sasuke, Hinata, Kiba
This one and Might Guy's teams were a bit on the difficult side because Kakashi and Sasuke have to go hand-in-hand due to Kakashi's Sharigan. But I managed. I think this team fits best because it has a similar dynamic to canon but different due to Hinata's shyness.
I think this dynamic works because two out of the three students will be learning their Clan's fighting style instead of really branching out to begin with. This gives Kakashi more opportunity to train Sasuke while the other two aren't neglected. Kakashi could help Hinata with her self-confidence since I think his easy-going yet hardened personality toward being a Shinobi could work similar to Kurenai's care for Hinata. Kakashi also has a contract with Ninja Dogs and those summons can help Kiba with his training to go with his Clan's training. Plus, Kakashi may be pressured to be a better teacher due to having two Clans hounding on him about their children's training.
In combat, the team is pretty well-rounded, two strong taijutsu users, and two well-rounded individuals that usually stick to using ninjutsu.
Team 8 Sensei: Kurenai Yuhi Students: Sakura, Neji, Choji
Again, I feel like this team has a similar dynamic to Team Seven that could work pretty well in the long run for each of the students. Kurenai is a teacher who likes to be involved in her students' lives and might be able to help them get over their respective issues mentally.
Similar to the last team, this one works well because two out of three members are going to be learning from their Clans, giving Kurenai more opportunity to help Sakura get out of her fangirl phase and become a proper kunoichi. She can also take advantage of Sakura's amazing chakra control to make her into an incredible genjutsu mistress like Kurenai herself. And when Sakura does study under Tsunade, she'll have two teammates that can help her develop her taijutsu skills to go with her super strength.
In combat, it's a pretty decent unit. The two genjutsu users can trap the enemy for the taijutsu users to close the distance and finish them off.
Team 9 Sensei: Might Guy Students: Rock Lee, Shino, Ino
This one was another team that gave me trouble because I had to make the teams while keeping in mind that Lee has to be on Guy's team. I think it came out pretty well and could work as a different type of the Ino-Shika-Cho formation.
Like the last two, this team will have two people that learn more from their Clans, giving Might Guy the chance to teach Lee while the other two aren't as neglected. He'll also be the type of person that will force Ino out of the fangirl mindset through his training methods. Shino is a character I think really works for any team due to his nature.
Like I said, in combat, this team could work similar to the Ino-Shika-Cho formation but with better tracking thanks to Shino. Guy and Lee can keep the enemy back while Shino can pin people down with his bugs so Ino can use her family Jutsu. Then Guy and Lee go for the finisher.
Team 10 Sensei: Asuma Sarutobi Students: Naruto, Shikamaru, Tenten
Funny enough, this is the first team I created. I like the team dynamic here because I think each student can learn a lot from Asuma and the atmosphere feels like it would be the friendliest of the four.
This team can really play on each other's strengths. Tenten will only benefit from being with Asuma because he can teach her Chakra Flow and possibly other techniques to enhance the danger of her weapons. Asuma had already taught Naruto before in canon and is one of the few in Konoha with a Wind Nature like him. Plus, I headcanon that Asuma is like an uncle to Naruto. Shikamaru will be learning from his family mostly but he has a good relationship with Asuma and his brains will help a lot with the team. Not to mention, if Naruto learns how to share his chakra early, it'll help his teammates' weaknesses from not having massive chakra reserves. This means Tenten can better user her weapons that require large amounts of chakra to use, like the Bashōsen, while Shikamaru will have more chakra to use his Shadow Possession jutsu constantly.
In combat, this is a pretty well-rounded team that focuses on close-range. Asuma is a strong close-range combatant with some ninjutsu options. Shikamaru is smart and can make up strategies while pinning the enemy. Naruto can also make creative plans and overwhelm the opponent with Shadow Clones to at least divert their attention for Shikamaru to trap them. Tenten would make good support with her weapons but a strong fighter close-range when she learns Chakra Flow.

Here's an intro for the Junko AU
Uzumaki Junko’s Konoha
Uzumaki Junko is the granddaughter of Uchiha Yorima, one of the great founders of konoha who have brought the current peace to the ninja world. As an Uzumaki, Junko is of noble blood and in line for hokage position, she is trained for it everyday by the best teachers, she’s been taught everything she needs to know since she was very young, she has everything.
Junko longs for a life outside of the village walls, free from the constant watch and expectations, most importantly, she wants the freedom to be a girl with friends and go on missions like everyone else. She has one friend, Hyuuga Honoka. Honoka is the daughter of the main branch closest in age to her. She was also trained her whole life for a single purpose and always kept around Junko as they grew up, and finally when she was old enough to enter the academy Honoka received a special seal, similar to her clan’s branch cage one, a seal to serve and protect a specific person: Junko. And so she became her bodyguard.
Private teachers, personal bodyguard, her own house, everyone in the village knowing her and treating like a princess. Junko has everything.
But there’s just one problem in Junko’s life. And it’s her Uchiha blood.
In this world people are born the same and, althought blood connection can help, anyone can awaken the powers of any clan. Said clans are formed around those powers, and not bloodline.
The Hyuuga are the main clan of the village, after the Uzumakis, who are close to royalty, they have priority over the skills any child awakens. The main branch is made up of blood related “pure” Hyuugas, the branches take in the people who join from other bloodlines. Although rare, branch members can climb their way to the main house, by proving themselves in combat skill.
A child born from any of these clans who awakens the ability specific of another - more noble clan - will be taken to train and join said clan, like Inuzuka Tabata who was born with the byakugan and had to follow their rules for years until finally failing the tests and being bannished back to the Inuzuka.
After the Hyuuga clan comes the InoShikaCho houses and the Aburame, after them the Inuzuka and Sarutobi, and finally the smaller clans like Haruno, Lee, Hatake etc.
There are no Uchihas in konoha. It’s been years since anyone with their rare skills has been born. This is why Junko is so precious, she is a royal Uzumaki with good chances of awakening the sharingan. That’s what she’s trained for, that’s what they teach her. Because that’s what she needs to know.
Uchiha Domin
Domin is what Junko does not need to know. A young boy without a name, he chose Domin as his name when he awakened his sharingan.
He knows about Junko and never cared for her in all of his years working in secret, doing the dirtiest and darkest jobs for konoha. Junko is 12 and has never left on a mission, heck she’s not even officially genin yet, while Domin is 17 and has been killing and fighting for his life for almost a decade now.
He knows he has blood on his hands so that she doesn’t have to, and he doesn’t care because he knows about her, he knows that blood is keeping him alive, but when Junko’s time comes - if it ever comes - it won’t save her. So he doesn’t care and he does his job.
That is until he has to care. He meets the girl by accident, running errands in disguise around the village, when she notices him. And Junko is like the sunshine, she draws him, warms him and sees him. He gets to actually know her in the short period he allows himself to stay close and realizes, too late, the mistake that was. Because Junko shouldn’t know about him.
Domin can’t let this go any longer so he warns her.
“You can’t awaken these eyes! The day you do, you’ll be dead!”
There’s a reason no Uchihas have been seen in years. There’s a reason Domin needs to be useful to stay alive. And there’s a reason Junko and everyone else can’t know about people like Domin.
“Uchihas are cursed and need to be hunted and killed.”
That’s how it is. Junko doesn’t know his name, but she knows the truth now.

Married, Colleagues, Divorced
This thought would enter his mind: Something about it is definitely different. (Gaara Hiden, Ch. 1) | Ten Days of Tenzo (@tendaysoftenzo) Day 5: Kakashi | AO3 |
                          ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Yamato to Kakashi of the Two Normal Eyes: Kakashi. Can I ask you a question...?
Kakashi to Colleague I Think About Such a Normal Amount: Yes, Tenzō?
Yamato: Did you date Iruka?
Kakashi: Why do u ask?
Yamato: Something Naruto said about going on outings with the two of you. Apparently, you even paid. 
Kakashi: We are amicably divorced
Yamato: Elaborate. 
Kakashi: The outings are part of our custody arrangement. The ramen is alimony
Yamato: I understand all of these words but not in this order. 
Kakashi: What’s not to understand. It’s important to model healthy separation for the kids 
Yamato: So you two did date?
Kakashi: No. Next question 
-- 
Kakashi to Standing Tenzōvation: Come sit here
Yamato to Hatake a Bow: I’ll come find you after. We’re going to get in trouble for texting during jōnin council deliberation again. 
Kakashi: I tried talking to u with Anbu hand signals. U said those were too obvious
Yamato: They are too obvious; you should see the message Genma sent me after the last council. Why do I need to sit there anyway? 
Kakashi: I want to eat with u today and if I’m not already occupied after we finish I will be caught in a meeting vortex
Yamato: Comes with the new job-title, Rokudaime-sama.
Kakashi: Not until next week, officially. And I didn’t enjoy any part of that sentence.
Yamato: Well, aren’t you emotionally forthright today? It’s refreshing. 
Kakashi: Does that mean u will buy lunch?
Yamato: You’re the one who just got a promotion. Hokage’s treat? 
Kakashi: I’ll spar u for it
Yamato: You’re on. 
--
Kakashi to Magic Mountain: Soup on your windowsill 
Yamato to Lord Sixth Flags: Thank you. You could come in, you know. 
Kakashi: U need some rest. Plus I have been assigned a mission to have tea with Hyuga-san 2nite
Yamato: That’s a new one. Who assigned that?
Kakashi: Me. 😔 I’ve been told clan relations are my problem now
Yamato: I can hardly wrap my head around you being a politician. 
Kakashi: I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around u nearly getting chakra exhaustion from a spar
Yamato: How many times have YOU gotten chakra exhaustion?
Kakashi: I haven’t kept a count 
Yamato: I have. 16.
Kakashi: That’s not bad. 1.4% of missions. Point is that’s what I expect from me, not u 
Yamato: Give me a break. I’ve only ever fought you when you had your sharingan. I didn’t account for how much stamina you’d have without it. My hospital check-up was quick and painless. 
Kakashi: Easy for u to say, u weren’t awake for the berating when I hauled u in
Yamato: Tsunade-sama or Sakura?
Kakashi: Sakura, thankfully. She still feels bad about hitting me, unlike her shishō
Yamato: Are we in trouble?
Kakashi: Don’t think so. The killing intent stopped after u woke up 
Kakashi: Sakura threatened to abandon her post and become a rogue ninja if we ever do it again, but I have a plan for that
Yamato: Do you anticipate Sakura leaving Konoha?
Kakashi: Not really. But after Sasuke I figured the other two should have contingencies, and I kept adding as u and Sai joined 
Yamato: Are you saying you have a plan for a scenario where all five other members of our team abandon the village? 
Kakashi: Don’t take this the wrong way but I have a 14-step-plan for that scenario
Yamato: Both impressive and concerning. 
Kakashi: That’s what they tell me in ninja therapy
Yamato: You have a therapist? 
Kakashi: Yeah. Don’t u?
Yamato: Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’ve never been more attracted to you.
Kakashi: Hm. What’s your average amount of attraction to me?
Yamato: I abstain from the question.
Kakashi: 🤔😈㊙️❓
--
Sakura to Team Thanks for Pardoning Sasuke, Sensei: reminder that our new team photo will be taken tomorrow. naruto buy a hairbrush. sensei and sasuke remember to show up on time 
Naruto: i own a hairbrush!! it just doesn’t work on my hair y’know
Sakura: bring it and i’ll help. i’m not breaking another one of my combs
Sasuke: Why do I get lumped in with Kakashi? I’m on time.
Sakura: you missed the last three years of team meetings
Sasuke: Touché. 
Sai: Do Yamato-taichō and I need to do anything? 
Sakura: i think you’ll both be fine. don’t worry too much about what kind of smile you need. be natural
Sai: I will join you early so we can practice being natural.
Sakura: that’s not what i meant. but sure we can get breakfast 
Naruto: me too!!!!
Sakura: NOT ichiraku. 
Naruto disliked “NOT ichiraku.” 
Sasuke liked “NOT ichiraku.” 
Naruto: :(((((((((((( ok 
Yamato: Kakashi and I will both have a meeting about the new housing developments first thing. I can make sure we get there.
Naruto: should u be spending so much time together?
Naruto: i don’t want yamato-taichō to catch ur chakra exaustion again kaka-sensei
Kakashi: For the last time, I did not GIVE Yamato chakra exhaustion. U can’t catch it
Sakura: debatable.
Sai: Sakura does offer medical credibility to Naruto’s theory.
Kakashi: Tenzō, tell them.
Yamato: I haven’t ruled it out.
Naruto: SEE. ur contagious sensei 
Kakashi: I miss when u all found me intimidating
Sasuke: We never found you intimidating. 
Sakura liked “We never found you intimidating.”
Naruto liked “We never found you intimidating.”
Yamato: Didn’t you make them homemade bento on their first day? Not your most menacing tactic. 
Naruto: tbh iruka-sensei and jiraiya-sensei had a lot more rules than u 
Naruto: ur gonna have to work on that as Hokage!
Sai: If you would like, I can pretend to find you intimidating. I’m a very good actor. 
Kakashi: Thank u, Sai. 😔🤘 
--
Anko to Jōnin Gone Wild: @Shiranui Genma, Married, Colleagues, Divorce: Gai, Raidō, Aoba 
Genma: Easy. Marry Raidō, Colleagues Gai, Divorce Aoba
Aoba: I understand
Gai: You have ALWAYS been an EXCELLENT Colleague, my friend!!!
Raidō: 👌
Yamato: What kind of a game is this?
Anko: Kakashi invented it. Something about it being a therapy exercise
Kakashi: Actually, my therapist advised against it. But I’m glad we have a new game. Shizune was 2 good at online mahjong
Shizune: You would be too if you grew up with Tsunade-sama. Also your next meeting is 5 minutes. I’ll bring the briefing when I’m upstairs
Kurenai: You know, as Hokage, technically Kakashi is responsible for all active shinobi. He shouldn’t be allowed to date any of his colleagues
Anko: Hahahah, government-mandated celibacy
Kakashi: I’ve been Hokage for like 3 days and none of u respect authority anyways 
Kurenai: Are you saying you DO want to date a jōnin?
Anko emphasized, “Are you saying you DO want to date a jōnin?”
Yamato emphasized, “Are you saying you DO want to date a jōnin?”
Kakashi: U think I don’t know a trap when I see one
Shizune: He has a picture of gljljLKHGLJ
Shizune: I would like everyone to know that Kakashi-sama grabbed my phone when I was writing that message. 
Kakashi: Aiming for meeting brief. New depth perception with 2 eyes. Talk later bye
--
Yamato to Celibacy Senpai: Explain to me how the game works again. Since we’re colleagues, we can’t be married or divorced?
Kakashi to Comrade Featured in Several GROUP Photos: It’s more of a state of mind
Kakashi: Take for example, if I had u, Yugao and Ibiki. I’d Colleagues Yugao, Divorce Ibiki and Marry u. 
Yamato: That implies you were married to Ibiki before me. 
Kakashi: Would it affect ur interest in marrying me?
Yamato: No, but I’d wonder why we didn’t get married first. We get along more.
Kakashi: We prioritized our friendship over other potential kinds of bonds
Yamato: I think we've got a pretty good track record for adapting. Besides, spouses should be friends. Anyway, none of this answers the question of why you’d suddenly marry someone else.
Kakashi: We were separated by a tsunami. U lost ur memory and I couldn’t find u so Ibiki and I got together so the kids could have another role model
Yamato: How long was I gone before you moved on? 
Kakashi: We co-parented but I didn’t move on. That’s why u and I get married 
Yamato: What if I’m more of a long-term-romantic-roommates kind of guy? 
Kakashi: I’d make that work
Yamato: In the game?
Kakashi: Sure. In the game

Naruto: DATING A GUY!!
Yamato: Why didn’t you think it was an option, Naruto? 
Naruto: i mean, everyone thinks that way about guys and girls and everyone 
Naruto: but no one DOES IT, y’know
Sai questioned “i mean, everyone thinks that way about guys and girls and everyone.” 
Sai: Is that true?
Sakura: i think this is the wrong chat to ask that question in 
Yamato emphasized, “i think this is the wrong chat to ask that question in.”
Sai: Why?

Iruka to Senseis R Us: What have you been telling Naruto?
Kakashi: U’ll have to be more specific
Iruka: Why did Naruto say he was going to hang out with my ex-husband?!
Kakashi: What makes u think I have anything to do with it
Iruka: I didn’t say I was talking to you. However, he was going to see your team and I don’t think Yamato-san is responsible for this!!
Yamato: I’m going to leave this one in Kakashi’s capable hands.
Iruka: Kakashi. What is wrong with you?
Yamato: Becoming a chunin at the age of 6, a strangely public black ops career, a possible attachment disorder and some very interesting tan lines. 
Kakashi: That’s the kunai calling the shuriken sharp. 
Kakashi: Also I’ll show u some interesting tan lines
Yamato loved “Also I’ll show u some interesting tan lines.” 
Kakashi: Anyway. I didn’t say much, Naruto was just curious about our history 
Iruka: We don’t have a history?? 
Kakashi: What about when I reupholstered your sofa?
Iruka: Was that... a romantic activity for you?
Kakashi: This is why we’d never work out, Iruka. 
Iruka: Because you text like a member of the cypher corps? 
Yamato: It’s not so bad. His birthday messages are very heartfelt. 
Kakashi loved “It’s not so bad. His birthday messages are very heartfelt.”
Kakashi: Thank you, Tenzō.  
Iruka: Who’s Tenzō?
Yamato liked “Who’s Tenzō?” 
Kakashi loved “Who’s Tenzō?” 
Iruka: This is going on your performance review as an ex-husband.
Kakashi: That’s fair

Yamato to Kakashinova: Have you seen my uniform belt? 
Kakashi to Some Kind of Wooderful: I have not. U do keep taking it off every time we eat if that helps?
Yamato: I can’t get used to the placement. But I’ll need to find it or order another one before my next check-in. You know how they are about item counts. 
Kakashi: U can use one of mine if u want 
Yamato: Your black belt which has Rokudaime Hokage stitched on the inside? I’ll pass, thanks. 
Kakashi: I don’t know why they keep putting that on everything. But u can’t see that part while ur wearing it anyway. It’s the same belt 
Yamato: Yes, but the Anbu would know it was your belt. I get enough heat for how much time we spend together as it is.
Kakashi: Favouritism?
Yamato: More like wisecracks about holding a torch for you. 
Kakashi: Haha why. Do you have a crush on me, Tenzō?
Yamato: You know the answer to this one. Next question.
Kakashi: What makes u think I know the answer?
Yamato: You’re the smartest person in this village. And we see each other every day.
Kakashi: We all have our Shodaime’s nipple
Yamato: Some of us more than most. Let’s try a different question. How many times have we kissed each other?
Kakashi: 7. 9 and a half if u count missions 
Yamato: Where are you getting the half from?
Kakashi: CPR
Yamato: Ah. So, in those nine-and-a-half moments... You didn’t have any suppositions? Inferences? Lessons gleaned from experience? 
Kakashi: Four and a half of them we’d need to discount for recall, and the last few are harder to report on due to observer bias
Yamato: The observer bias in you gauging my romantic feelings.
Kakashi: Yes
Yamato: Because you would like?
Kakashi: You
Yamato: Me to what?
Kakashi: Long-term romantic roommates, eventually
Yamato: Oh.
Kakashi: Yeah. Do you mind?
Yamato: No, I don’t mind. Maybe we can start with dinner and a walk first? 
Yamato: And Kakashi? I long-term romantic roommates you too. 
Kakashi: That’s a funny way to ask me on a date. 💘 See u in an hour?
Yamato: It’s on.

I didn't know i was capable of missing a fictional character until i found out about Shisui anyways
You ever just think about the chaos that would happen if adult! Shisui (around the current time of hope au) and kid! Shisui (just recently started working with Inoichi) got temporarily swapped in their times?
Like the squad goofing off only for one of Raidou's practice seals going off wrong and suddenly a very awkward group of anbu find themselves having to take care of little kid Shisui who is tiny, recently traumatized, doesn't technically know or trust them, and has yet to truly be properly socialized outside of his clan and then on the other side you have adult Shisui being thrown back to a time Danzo is still around without any of his friends/family/allies and having an unknown, limited time frame to try and change things
I've only just seen this ask (😅) but omg
Older!Shisui would only be a few years younger than Inoichi so that would be deeply hilarious because Inoichi has only just started to realise that he's gotta actually, you know, commit to being healthier and being a stable adult role model (parent) and then BAM! This full grown Uchiha, claiming to be his student, starts ripping into Konoha and dragging Inoichi along like he's not insane???? An Uchiha who knows waaaaay too much about Inoichi's Clan secrets and his horribly complicated relationship with his family and (Inoichi, in the future, fit very well with the "boiled frog" analogy. He didn't quite realise, until in hindsight, how deep into the bullshit Shisui had dragged him as they grew together. It's, ah, a shock😂) also lmao Minato is still alive, so is Kushina, Kakashi is a moody little shit and he's so unbelievably angry that this cheerful random Uchiha came up to him and scuffed him like a (naughty puppy) seasoned Hatake 😂
MEANWHILE-
Genma, drunk off his tits, slams his hand down on Raidou's notebook before throwing it at a laughing Shisui's head: and then, hahahaha, I said- OH SHIT!
Genin!Shisui, appearing in a poof of smoke to find himself in the middle of a bar at 1am:
Tumblr media
Squad Two: DID YOU JUST SHRINK?? I DIDNT KNOW UCHIHA COULD DO THAT-! (Raidou: 🤡💩, Genma: 🤩🤣, Tenzo: 😧😶‍🌫️, Kakashi: 🥴📸)
Genin!Shisui: w-where is Inoichi-sensei?! We're on a mission, Jounin-san, what happened???
SQ2: oh shit, GET AN ADULT
Inoichi, upon seeing Genin!Shisui: 😭✨😭✨ oh fuck i forgot how cute you were, cmere and let me cuddle you oh god I can't believe I didn't tell you I loved you for too long and look at your little feet and you can't even carry Akira yet can you oh god- *clutching Shisui to his chest*
Ino, the same age but an inch taller than her nii-san: ✨MY✨TURN✨TO✨BE✨IN✨CHARGE✨
Genin!Shisui: everyone got really tall and really emotional...

I have a new sasusaku au idea.
So say after the third shinobi war, Leaf and Sand made a peace agreement via arranged marriage. The sand would provide a relative of the Kazakage's family to be a bride for one of the head families of Konoha's clans.
The Uchiha clan was chosen to receive the bride. It wasn't decided yet if she would wed Itachi or Sasuke but she would be for one of them.
As for the bride herself, there was a debate to send the Kazakage's daughter Temari, but then Suna's council remembered that Karura had a sister who had a daughter.
Sakura knew her whole life that she would eventually be sent to Konoha as a peace bride. Her childhood was kinda lonely because of it. Suna's council started her ninja training young because they knew the Uchiah's were a ninja clan by trade and that they value strength. They gave her to Lady Chiyo to train. Sakura never really took to puppetry, not like Kankuro, but she did excell under Lady Chiyo's posion teachings and beginner medical training.
When Sakura wasn't with Lady Chiyo, she was with her cousins. She was closest to Gaara since both of them were being raised to be used in service to the village (Gaara as a weapon and Sakura as a peace offering) which left them both pretty isolated as children. This isolation also left Sakura a little oblivious to the village's fear of her favorite cousin. All she knew was that Gaara was a sweet boy who just needed some extra training to control his powers. Yes, she did know that Gaara had Shukaku in him and sometimes he lost control of his powers, but like most kids, she doesn't fully understand what that means.
Sakura and Gaara's relationship took a hit when their uncle, Yashamaru, tried to kill Gaara and then proceeded to blow himself up. Gone was the sweet boy who wanted to love and be loved. Gaara was now colder, and while Sakura still cared greatly for her cousin, it felt like he only tolerated her now. She was still one of his closest relationships, along with his siblings.
When Sakura was twelve, she was given two items. The first was a chain with a ring on it. The ring was silver with a red jewel. Purple chakra swirled in the jewel. The second item was a headband with Konoha's symbol on it.
It was time for her to go to the Leaf Village.
On Konoha's side after the Uchiha massacre the council looked for ways to keep Sasuke in line. They remembered the deal with Suna and made the arrangements to officially betrothed Sasuke and Sakura. Not that they told him.
The deal was that once Sasuke graduated from the Academy, they would bring Sakura to the village and assign her to his genin team. Kakashi about damn near had heart failure when his third student was escorted in with two Sand anbu behind her. Gai had to console him later.
Sakura looked around curiously at everything as she followed Kakashi to meet her other teammates. There was a lot more color in Konoha than Suna, especially the color green. Her teacher was curious, too. He introduced himself as Kakashi Hatake. Hmm, the only Hatake Sakura knew about was the White Fang Sakumo, and Lady Chiyo wanted him dead. She wonders if Kakashi is related.
Sakura is behind Kakashi when he opens the door to a classroom and an erasure falls on his head. A loud laugh was heard from the inside. Was that her betrothed or her other teammate?
"That's what you get for being late!" The voice shouted.
We're they late? Sakura winced. That was probably her fault. Kakashi did have to get her from the Hokage's tower.
Kakashi only humed as he stepped into the room, Sakura following behind. Two boys turned their stares from their sensei to her. She scanned them, one was a blonde with whisker like marks on his face, the other had black hair and eyes. While she couldn't verify via the Uchiah symbol, Sakura had to guess the dark eyed boy was her betrothed Sasuke. She was told the Uchiah's typically had darker features.
Kakashi humed again. "My first impress of you three, I hate all of you."
Well damn, that's not good. Sakura needs allies if she's gonna survive here and make sure to maintain the peace agreement. Having her sensei hate her right off the bat doesn't bode well for her.
They're led up to the roof where Kakashi has them introduce themselves, not that he offered up much info.
The blonde boy started. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I like ramen, especially the ramen at Ichiraku! But I hate having to wait the three minutes for it to cook. And my dream is to be the greatest Hokage!"
Well, he was energetic. But this did confirm Sakura's suspicions.
Sasuke spoke next. "My name is Sasuke Uchiah. I dislike a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anyone. I don't have a dream because I will make it a reality. I will restore my clan and kill a certain someone."
Oh, well, there's some familiarity of home with her betrothed. At least she'll have some knowledge on how to approach her betrothed thanks to Gaara.
The boys turned towards her and Kakashi tilted his head. We'll go on.
Sakura blushed. Oh, right. "I'm Sakura Haruno. What I like, I mean, um-" Damn her accent slipped, and after her tutors worked so hard to make sure it was perfect. "I like studying. . ." Can't say posions, won't look good since she's suppsed to be a peace offering. ". . .medical plants and the effect they have on the body. My dislikes are um. . ." What was safe to say? She didn't get a chance to study her teammates before, and there wasn't much info her anbu escorts gave her either.
Kakashi seemed to take pity on her. "And your dream for the future?"
That was easy. "To maintain the peace and alliance between Konoha and Suna."
"How come we've never seen you before?" Naruto asked her.
The boys looked at her confused. Sakura looked at Sasuke confused. Why was he confused? He's the other half to making this peace agreement work.
Kakashi cleared his throat. "Sakura is from another village, but she has been put on this team as part of an alliance agreement. Now for tomorrow we'll have our first mission."
Sakura tensed as Kakashi explained that of the graduates only nine ever make it to genin and the rest are sent back to the academy. What does that mean for her? Would she be sent back to Suna? That can't happen, not if they want to peace agreement to work out, she can't fail this!
Sakura went to speak with Sasuke after they were dismissed. She knows they officially just met but they did need to talk about their engagement. Kakashi pulled them both back.
Kakashi pulled a silver ring on a chain out of his pocket. Sakura knew that ring. It was the matching ring to the one she wore around her neck, except it had her chakra in it instead of Sasuke's. Why would Kakashi have it?
Kakashi handed the chain to Sasuke. "Did your parents ever tell you about your engagement?"
Sasuke's face fell into a scowl. "What?"
Sakura began to grow mortified.
"The alliance agreement between Konoha and Suna was sealed with an arranged marriage between the Uchiha clan and a relative of Suna's leader, the Kazekage," Kakashi explained. "Sakura is the Kazakage's niece, and per the agreement, you two will be living together from this point on."
Sasuke turned his glare on to Sakura. Sakura was thankful she gotten used to Gaara's glares.

One thing is even if naruto acknowledged itachi's words not bearing everything alone that doesn't matter to Sasuke bc naruto is align with the system, like him also his friends they are blinded by WOF of Konoha, so they can't understand why Sasuke's revolution is important
Sasuke understands that the ninja system and missions based on usage of warfare, spying and proxy wars and WOF created autocratic blind and extreme nationalism like hokage's words are final laws who can change anything on a whim or may not reform anything from past hokage's mistakes as their blind amoral loyalist nationalism refrain them for any reform the best examples are
Hiruzen who did not reform anything for uchiha or Naruto who still teaches children endure and die for the village bc they are your family, child soldiers custom, unnecessary chunin exam ,
so for these reason sasuke can't align himself with these villages bc they have different types of ultra nationalist propaganda like WoF from Konoha, WoR from Iwa etc. where you can't choose different ways of life even if those ways of yours are harmless to the overall village population and you can't follow or advocate your ways bc corrupt and prejudiced and autocratic kage and elders will not let you go against any custom of shinobi as you just have to act and endure like a blind loyal tool without no question according to those kage and elders otherwise you will be executed or marginalized in your respective village even accept being bullied and shunned and hatred from villagers for their war trauma scapegoat like mainly kekegenkai clans and jinchurikii , you have to endure oppression from shinobi system and its shinobi and kage bc enduring for greater good and greater goals means being ninja that lies being align with the village where you can't advocate individual or certain group rights otherwise you will be targeted by corrupt and fascist and nationalist and autocratic people like Onoki, Danzo, Raikage, tobirama, Hiruzen and konoha elders and Suna elders, Kurotsuchi etc. who will do anything to maintain their respective village hegemony many examples in the whole naruto series for such these scenarios and mindsets and principle values for examples:
1.rin dying for greater of the village without relying on kakashi as she is blindly indoctrinated from the childhood even kakashi in the waves arc saying how "we" as shinobi are
2. Itachi being indoctrinated with blind nationalism of WOF which clouded his moral judgement and couldn't help him saying how segregation and confinement to one job were dangerous policy from authority and pure injustice for Uchiha and then daily bad words from villagers, even tho Uchiha also suffered so much from wars and missions and invasions
3. Sakumo hatake's suicide, amegakure and small villages being pillaged, naruto being shunned, jinchuriki practice, zabusa and haku's yuki caln genocide, uchiha clan genocide, iatchi and shisui immoral spying on their own people, neji's father death, hyuga slavery and curse, Madara being ostracized by tobirama from being hokage bc of sharaingan power without given any chance and proof for at least as beginner, child soldiers practice, immoral anbu spying practice, supressing your emotions for missions, glorifying your ancestors as Gods and WOF like propaganda without knowing their bad sides and betraying or opposing and leaving village means death, hokage's words and judgement are constitution no one can oppose, covering uo genocide, grooming and indoctrinated child soldiers in exteme belief of WoF propaganda like itachi, shikimaru, rin, naruto etc. and so on
Sasuke knew most of the people live in this shinobi framework which destined to bring disaster and inhuman and injustice to certain groups of people and individuals and disagreeing to opposition and different views where change and reform can't be possible in the long run as they all are in village circle blinded by this propaganda and shinobi system which is casuing child soldiers practice, jinchuriki practice, various tragedy, bullying, mass killing, genocide, systematic and direct oppression, cycle of hatred among clans, individuals and villages in the shinobi frame work, for the sole reason why Sasuke have to be alone for his revolution bc whole shinobi worlds are blinded by shinobi customs and propaganda in shinobi framework or shinobi system
So to cure the darkness that shinobi system created without time to time reform or fact checking, Sasuke have to be alone bc everyone is blinded by the system and stupid enduring meaning of the shinobi, so revolution is important no bloody it is bc people alrady died bc of this blind nationalist system that created only violence after violence down the line, either you maintain and judge it with impartial executioner like Sasuke or abandons this fascist and stop being ninja,
Being alone is necessary for Sasuke's revolution bc all of the shinobi people are blinded by shinobi village system, even in peace time child soldier still in practice where children still taught in ninja academy about fighting but not history of its dark side, in konoha shinden mirai still glorifies 3rd hokage without knowing his dirty secret and many house women talking about their children being in ninja academy but why chidren needs to go to ninja academy or shinobi missions only adults can go as it is peace time meaning nor kakashi nor naruto did not change a thing still practicing child soldier shinobi custom, bc of this non changing mindset of shinobi from these villages which is why Sasuke has to bear his Revolution alone so he could slowly uprooted it little by little and thus he can completely change the past of this shinobi village system no he will slowly destroy it to the core until shinobi start to live like normal civilian people so past will be totally transformed slowly
For sole reason why sasuke has to bear darkness alone in his revolution as darkness of the village causes proxy and cold wars or genocide or cycle of hatred, personal tragedy, brainwashing people immorally etc. which causes more and great war geopolitically down the line in the shinobi world and why changing the past of the shinobi system is necessary as everyone is blinded by the system
so in easy term sasuke has to do his revolution solely alone to be impartial as everyone is blinded by the system and behaves like blind brainwashed tool where no will understand his point how dangerous they have become under shinobi system and by becoming a darkness that darkness that shinobi system has been using for its villages hegemony and its interest and to destroy the past that current shinobi system has been based upon that caused so many inhuman acts and injustice that made everyone blind and ignorant to the truth and humanity and created paradoxical aspect in its nature and core

Masterlist ⚜
I don’t give permission to repost my work, if you want to share it just reblogue it
Words count : 4086
Kakashi Hatake :
Tumblr media
You were very close to the Uchiha clan and you were devastated by the events of that famous night which had deprived you forever of your two best friends Shisui and Itachi.
It seemed to be a twist of fate when you stumbled upon a strange black notebook that you had found in the forest under a bramble bush - ouch
Once you got to know the God of Death, whom you discovered was called Ryuk, you decided to use the extraodinary power of this find to avenge the death of your friends and the Uchiha clan
The first person you used it on was of course Danzo Shimura, the one who caused the situation to go wrong
Of course you didn't do this in the normal way, you could have just written his name down and made him die of a heart attack but you made a show of it, you made him go to the public square, explain his crimes, show the eye he had stolen from Shisui and the eyes he had grafted in his right arm, after that you made him tear out his eye and cut off his arm before cutting off his tongue, the tongue that had caused so much harm before he stuck the kunai in his lung and let him die of asphyxiation
Of course everyone - or almost everyone - had witnessed the scene and was almost more shocked at what he had done while he was alive than at the violence of his death
Kakashi had noticed that day that the atmosphere in the village had changed, a climate of fear reigned
All thought it was made by a Genjutsu but Sasuke had disappeared, only Kakashi remained, who of course knew that he had done nothing. However he noticed that you didn't seem to be really upset, dare he even say that you seemed happy about it. After all it was legitimate but still
So he decided not to worry but to keep an eye on you, not because he suspected you but in case the author of this act tried to come after you
But if only he knew
After that you started to go on missions for the Hokage, without telling him, you always took missions that would allow you to be in the same area as the enemies that you wanted to get ride of with your Death Note and thanks to the power of the Shinigami eyes
No one ever made the connection between your missions and his unexpected deaths
Well, nobody except Kakashi, who noticed that the deaths were taking place during the same periods as your absences, he just didn't know where you were going or where the enemies you were killing were
He had also noticed a strange change in your aura, a kind of melancholy associated with eagerness but what he didn't know. It also seemed that on the rare occasions when you were in Konoha and he came to spend time with you, you refused to go out all the time and even did everything to get him out of your house as soon as possible, as if you had better things to do
He would have advised you to sleep, because of the dark circles under your eyes that showed your lack of sleep
But EVERYTHING went wrong one evening, when he was walking in the forest to clear his head, he stumbled upon a familiar figure lying on her stomach on the ground behind a bush, writing frantically and laughing psychotically
His eyes widened and he stepped on a branch that cracked making you stop moving before whipping your head towards him
"Y/n what are you doing here ?" he asked his voice shaking as if it knew something more than he did. He held his hand out to you to help you up, but it didn't have the desired effect at all
"Don't touch it ! Stay back !" you yelled clutching the Death Note against your chest, he took another step in your direction, resuming in you throwing a kunai at his feet made him stop his advance
"Y/n what the hell are you doing ?" he asked surprised in his voice clear and noticeably out of breath
Another noise was heard and Anbus ninjas, which obviously took you in tailing for a while already, unfortunately your measures did not allow you to escape
"L/n Y/n you are under arrest" one of them shouted at you but you didn't listen to anything
You quickly wrote their names while avoiding their attacks, they all started to fight again one another and the last one fell down dead of a heart attack in the next 30 seconds under the frightened eyes of Kakashi
"I'm ridding the world of evil and creating a utopia. No matter how much time I have, it won't be enough. I have no time to loose on you"
He couldn't believe his eyes, his legs were shaking slightly and his breathing was shallow "Oh no not again" he thought, he felt like the day he had seen Obito again after all those years thinking he was dead
Your wild eyes locked on his, and he took a step backwards for fear that you would decide to attack him if you felt rushed by his proximity
"Please Y/n put that down we'll settle-"
"No ! I did this for all of us ! I have avenged the village and I will continue to purify the world as a vengeful and protective deity-"
"Protective deity ? Can you hear yourself talk ?!?" his brain was working at full speed, how should he handle the situation, should he arrest you or let you execute criminals at all, should he go as far as killing you- no no it's impossible, he already lost everything, he can't afford to lose the person he cares about the most to die, not by his hand, not again ( I'm not saying that he loved Rin only that he killed her with his hand )
"Don't you find life in the village better now that I have blessed it with my power ! Don't you feel the serenity of the place ?
"Y/n..." he said sadly, his voice low, "You are rambling. You are not in your right mind. Let me help you-" he took another step slowly towards you
"Not one more move or I'll have to clean the village of your presence as well !" your trembling hand holding your pen, holding it perpendicular to the page of the notebook, your voice echoed in the moonlit forest in a frightening manner
Kakashi couldn't believe his eyes you were going to coldly kill him, but he couldn't let you do that, however he couldn't bring himself to kill you either, but little by little he realized that it was either you or him, and who knows what you would be capable of doing after killing the man you had shared your life with for all those years
Suddenly you saw him put his hand in the pocket of his bag and you rushed to write his name on the notebook
"Kakashi Hata-"
Too late, an erasure coming down from your "A" scratched the bottom of the page as your hand jerked uncontrollably as the pen - your weapon - slipped from your hand, as the kunai in your throat made you choke, so that you spat blood on the open page of the notebook and dropped it to the ground
Kakashi had acted without thinking, out of survival, he didn't think either when he set fire to the damned book he thought was cursed
He took you in his trembling arms, tears forming in his eyes, he uttered apologies expressing all the regret that consumed him secondes after what he did, but nothing reached your ears which could only hear a white and continuous sound, like a whistle
You continued to flail frantically in his arms as you watched your Death Note burn, until exhaustion forced you to close your eyes
You wondered if it was the kunai that would take your life first or if it was the burning notebook that would have the upper hand, but wasn't it you who started it all ?
"It was the right thing to do... you'll be more useful to them than me" you coughed blood on his chest leaning over you, as if the old you wanted to speak one last time
"Don't wear yourself out, I-I'll take you back to the village, you'll be fine, I-I love you please stay with me" he was talking so fast, but yet he was slowly realizing what was happening and that maybe you wouldn't make it
You closed your eyes in exhaustion, feeling his love surround you, it almost didn't hurt anymore with his warmth against you
He panicked as he felt your body relax in his arms, he repeated your name over and over frantically like a mantra, tears flowing from his eyes like streams
And just like that it was over, after a lifetime together with each other, you were going separate ways for the first time
Kakashi would continue to curse himself for the rest of his life for not knowing how to handle the situation in a better way and for not realizing it before
However what was done was done and he would have to live with it, he just hoped that once everything was over he would be able to find you, in heaven or in hell
During his next battle he will be informed that his pupil has changed, thanks to you he developed the Mangekyō Sharingan
Shikamaru Nara :
Tumblr media
Let's say that if you found the Death Note and got the Shinigami eyes 5 months ago, well he was suspecting it since the first month
Actually you knew each other since your first year at the Ninja school and you were dating for almost 3 years now
His intelligence helped him a lot but contrary to what we can think it's not a change of your behavior that made him have this intuition
In fact, your intelligence was neck and neck with his, so you always pretended to be less intelligent than you were, so that those who thought were manipulating you would be caught in their own trap
However in this case you got caught in your own trap, at first you only used your eyes to know the names of the people you had to kill for the sake of the Ninja World - you were convinced of that, after all who could have done it if you didn't
But it only lasted a month and soon you turned to bigger and bigger criminals, which of course attracted the attention of Konoha's intelligence services
It was Shikaku, Shikamaru's father, who realized that the killer had to be from Konoha, because the deaths happened just after the said criminal had harmed Konoha in any way
Of course to complete your mission you had to infiltrate the Intelligence Service to keep up to date with everything that was going on and so you know about their progress on the investigation
Shikamaru noticed the dark circles under your eyes, or the twitch of your eyes the moments when someone made you angry, you could really look mad in those moments but being the relaxed boy he is he didn't pay more attention to it but he smtill kept it in a corner of his mind... just in case
The moment you got caught was the moment you let your feelings show the most
Indeed, Azuma sensei had been killed by Hidan's hand with the assistance of Kakuzu his Akatsuki companion. Shikamaru, Ino and Shoji were devastated
Shikamaru's eyes were full of sadness and hatred, which made you do what would start the process that would end your reign
Just two days after this tragic event you returned to your room and retrieved your Death Note which you had cleverly hidden in a wall in your room. You had been on the said mission which had ended with the death of your boyfriend's sensei, so you had thanks to your Shinigami eyes been able to see the first and last names of Hidan and Kakazu, and it was a piece of cake for you to remember them
You began to smile unhealthily as you wrote down the little story you had prepared for their grand finale
You made sure to manipulate Naruto ( sorry bro but I had to ) so that he asked the 3 ex-team members of Team 10 to go near the Konoha village gate
As you expected, Hidan and Kakazu arrived, all your friends who attended the scene mouth agape for some and jaw clenched for Shikamaru, he tried to use the Shadow Possession Jutsu to stop them but nothing happened for the good and simple reason that the power of the Death Note was greater
The two men continued to walk with ease, in an almost robotic way until they reached the group. Once they were at a decent distance, they bent down to 90 % and in a monotonous voice apologized for what they had done. Kakazu gave a kunai to Hidan, everyone jumped backwards but Hidan turned the weapon towards Kakuzu and pierced all his hearts and he died in a pool of blood. Then Hidan ( I'm so sorry baby T.T ) took the kunai and after apologizing one last time he stuck it in the throat, under the astonished eyes of everyone
Of course you knew that because that's what you had written, for obvious reasons you couldn't risk going to blow your cover on the field
Of course this was hidden from the other members of the village and the Intelligence Service started to do the necessary research to find the origin of what had just happened
After this eventful night, Shikamaru went to the Intelligence Office reluctantly, he went to get the information about the serial deaths. Of course it didn't take him long before he was caught by a colleague of his father and was thrown into his office. His father half-heartedly made it clear to him that you were the prime suspect and Shikamaru reluctantly explained what he had seen change in you over the past 4 months
And so in the same way that L found out that Kira was living in Tokyo, it was broadcast on your television that Shikamaru had died, killed by the same cold hand that had perpetrated all these murders, and you had run to his house, losing all notion of your plan, forgetting that it could only be a crazy scheme, and you had screamed that you it wasn't possible, taht something else must have killed him and that the killer was going to pay from your hand
But as you were about to go home to think, you felt that you had lost control of your body and you were completely frozen in place
"Shadow Possession Jutsu now complete"
When you recognized him you burst into tears, not only out of relief but also because you realized that you had they must have found out
"No I-I-I did everything for the good of the village y-YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME ! NOT AFTER ALL I'VE DONE !" as you started to scream your voice had changed in a frightening way and you started to shout to - it seemed to someone that nobody else could see - to do something
Shikamaru was frightened and disconcerted by the situation, he grabbed you in his arms as if he suspected that it might be the last time he could hold you like this, he understood why you did it but he couldn't validate your way of doing it
"Ryuk you FUKCING PIECE OF SHIT I'M YOUR MASTER YOU MUST OBEY-"
"Shhhhhh Y/n please don't make it anymore difficult" Shikamaru's voice slightly broke which made you look up at him, your crazy eyes staring into his, a pang in your heart was felt when you saw the tears rolling down his cheeks
You tried to bring your hands to his cheeks but you couldn't move any more "I did it for you Shikamaru, for us, for the village" as you spoke you thought of everything, maybe you could give up the Death Note and get the Shinigami eyes back until the division of your life expectancy would be not enough to keep you alive but unfortunately it was impossible the Death Note was still in your house
You were thrown into the dungeon, of course they tried to make you talk, but nothing happened as they expected, it seemed that you had found a way to get a piece of a page of the Death Note with which you proceeded to assassinate Ibiki, his screams were almost hidden by bursts of voice as you stood over him "I am righteous ! I'm the Hero who's liberating people from fear. I'm the Savior who's going to be like a Goddess of this perfect new world !"
Then everyone agreed on the fact that you were a threat to Konoha and they chose to end your life as quickly as possible
Of course back in those days no one knew what had happened to you and Shikamaru didn't learn this until years later when he was hired as the Hokage's right hand man.
The news took him back to that very dark part of your childhood and he was once again devastated
But did he know that you managed to escape just in time ? How could he ? Konoha had been so ashamed that they preferred not to mention anywhere this important information In any case you were still there preparing your return. Oh yes, it was going to be a blast "That's right. I win !"
Naruto Uzumaki :
Tumblr media
Naruto is a smart boy but in this case it's not him who will realize it, not by himself, maybe Shikamaru will tell him or he will realize that Tsunade is hiding something from him, if for example she would ask him to keep an eye on you for your safety, when he is already doing it, or if she would ask Yamato or Sai to follow you
You used the Death Note to get rid of the Akatsuki members who were stealing their lives ( except Itachi  because he deserves the world )
Of course nobody understood and everybody was chocked when they learned the news of the death of the powerful nunkenins who formed the Akatsuki
Your behavior had also changed a lot, dark circles had appeared under your eyes, you fidgeted a lot, but most of the time you managed to keep the act of the happy girl you used to be, wonderfully foolinganyone who crossed your path
Finally the only problem was that you didn't think that Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox spirit that Naruto had just befriended, would have the ability to see the God of Death that had been with you since you had found the Death Note. And of course he had told his host
Naruto couldn't believe his ears, how could he believe that you, his sweet and compassionate girl, would be able to kill in such an arbitrary way
"They say that love makes you blind Naruto, not stupid" Kurama had warned him and his words were still echoing in the head of the blond after 3 good days
Naruto being Naruto he didn't bother to think about it and just confronted you
Of course he didn't lose sight of your objective and refuted everything he said with a big smile painted on your lips
Of course convinced that you would never do any harm in this way he left your house reassured and serene
While you quickly went back to your room to add some names in your Death Note
But if you thought you were alone now that Naruto was gone, you didn't count on a ninja sent by Tsunade who had totally disappeared his presence to spy on you
Of course you were caught, and taken by force to the office of the Hokage, your Death Note forgotten on your desk, too bad Tsunade should have taken an Anbu rather than a vulgar jönin
Of course your screams had alerted many people and Naruto had found himself in less time than it takes to say it in the 5th Hokage's office
"Grandma Tsunade ! Where is Y/n ?!? Why did you take her ?!?"
"That's none of your business Naruto !!" she roared at him
He immediately understood that if she didn't want to tell him it was because you were in a bad situation
He rushed into the dungeons, once in front of it he stopped dead in his tracks when he heard your screams, he panicked thinking that you were being tortured, he moved forward discreetly to be able to hit from behind whoever was hurting you but when he arrived in front of your cell he only saw you and he could hear clearly what you were saying, and it was as if his world had just collapsed
"I order you to let me out of here you subhuman. I've never been so humiliated in my entire life"
"Y-Y/n ?"
"Naruto ?!? Please come and help me ! I'm the only one who can save the village !"
He didn't understand what you had to save the village from and obviously his lack of action made you snap at him
"Naruto write her name in my notebook ! Don't listen to anyone and write her name ! Don't let her keep us apart like this !"
He shook his head as he took a few steps towards you "Y/n what are you talking about-"
"I'll tell you how to do it ! Just get me out of this cell !"
"Sorry I can't-" you didn't listen to the rest of his excuse and invoked your Death Note ready to manipulate anyone - even him - to get you out of that damn cell
"Hey no ! Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu !" a clone of Naruto caught you in his arms and kicked the notebook out of the cell
Held in his arms you were fussing around like a wild animal "Don't you dare touch me I'm your Goddess !
"Dattebayo Y/n calm down ! What's wrong with you !"
You started to shake and suffocate in his arms, he was going to ruin everything you've been doing all this time just like that with a stupid clone when you had the power of a God of Death on your side
"Y/n ! Oh fuck ! Dattebayo breathe !" he prayed as he ran his hand reassuringly over your back "It's okay we'll get through this together ! All is not lost !"
And finally by dint of talking you were forced to listen to him and breathe calmly, his words gave you hope, but not like he would have wanted
 If you were thinking well the Death Note was not the only way to come to your ends. There were great ninjas out there who had left the village to try to become more powerful - cough cough Orochimaru - that you could try to find and try to be the student of
You looked up and met Naruto's eyes, he had succeeded in making peace with Kyubi, the Nine-Tailed Fox spirit so why couldn't you succeed in leaving the village and following the teachings of these great ninjas
You couldn't give up on the Death Note though because if you did you would forget the fight you had now decided to lead
"Fine" you let your body clamor in the arms of his clone as he brushed your hair with his fingers, far from thinking that now and with half of the life you had left you were going to do everything to reach this divine power in another way than with the help of Ryuk
Whether you like it or not, you will get out of this cell, you will leave this village and you will become powerful and you will purify the world of the filth that poisons it
And they would fear the wrath of a Goddess, they would fear you
Cut to Naruto following you all around the country like he did with Sasuke

chapter 4: Fated Friendships
Story Masterlist
pairing: Kakashi Hatake x female reader
warnings: SFW (NSFW in later chapters), mentions of panic attacks
wc: 2.5k
synopsis: Kakashi Hatake, newly appointed Hokage, is struggling with transitioning from active duty to being sat behind a desk. Sure, he might not be placing his life on the line every day but perhaps now is the time he puts something else out there instead, his heart.
Meanwhile, things aren’t quite adding up. There is a discrepancy in the records that cannot be explained, and it falls to you to investigate. Never did you expect it would lead you to the door of the Hokage’s office, a man you had admired from a safe distance until now. What happens next leads you into a closely guarded secret that will change the rest of your life.
In a story where the past might be harder to let go of than usual, can two strangers find a semblance of happiness and peace?
beta reader: a huge thanks to @niatheangel for continuing to be my beta reader and for holding my hand as always!! <3
Tumblr media
The path was peaceful; it usually was whenever he made this journey and he wished he could say the same for his mind. Kakashi had difficulty sleeping the previous night, thoughts of that fortuitous meeting in his office and the unsavoury predicament that he found himself in wouldn’t leave him long enough to find restful sleep.
Having become accustomed to long drawn-out days since taking office, it was alarming how much worse today had been. Meetings that seemed as if they would never end, monotonous voices that droned on incessantly and a clock that seemed to refuse to move any faster. The tick of the second hand had been a cruel reminder that the day was not yet over.
At long last he was free from the shackles of his responsibilities and after a quick detour home to change into more comfortable attire, Kakashi was once again out and walking the streets of Konoha as the evening dusk began to settle. It hadn’t taken long for him to reach the outskirts of the village, detouring into the dense foliage, and picking his way through the undergrowth until he reached a faint path that only he and less than a handful of people were aware even existed. Only having traversed it many times meant he was able to follow the patches of bare earth where no grass or flora grew.
It wasn’t a quick walk, but it was a welcome distraction from thinking about you.
Kakashi found that the harder he tried not to let his mind wander to you and your image within his mind’s eye, the more likely he was to become swept into a myriad of thoughts and they all had you at the centre. There was a lingering doubt in his mind that he had acted rashly in inviting you to have dinner with him under the necessity of distracting you. If he were honest, he wanted your company for personal reasons and mixing it with business could lead to misunderstandings that he’d rather avoid.
Did you consider his invitation as a date? He had meant it as one, but the scope for misinterpretations was problematic and something he would have to address at the earliest opportunity.
A weary hand ran through his rumpled hair and Kakashi swore to himself that he would keep thoughts of you locked away for now, this evening was going to be tough enough without stopping constantly to get lost in imagined scenarios of how things might or might not go. It was foolish to even consider how he might manage to charm his way into kissing you goodnight, or how your small fingers might feel within his. He may as well be back as an adolescent – ruled by his hormones with little regard for common sense.
Deep into the forests surrounding the village, close to the boundary of the Nara clan’s sacred forest, stood a small structure. Parts of it came into view after rounding a few branch-laden trees that obscured much of the dwelling from sight. Any shinobi worth their salt would locate it with ease but the presence of a smaller protective barrier akin to the one surrounding Konoha alerted the occupier of any presence drawing near with substantial chakra pools.
“You’re early.”
The gruff voice called from the front door that stood ajar, the navy paint peeling from the wood in places. Kakashi lowered his head with a chuckle, it was exactly the welcome he expected, and he held up a hand in greeting.
“Always a pleasure to see you too, Obito.”
Obito Uchiha leant against his porch with arms folded over his chest and a look that could only be described as deep mistrust etched across his face. The large man was slightly stooped which gave the appearance that Kakashi was the taller of the two, a trivial thing that once would have given Obito much joy to rub in the face of his ‘friend’ – the fact that he was the taller of the two.
His hair was powder white; thick and shaggy as if it needed a good cut and a comb, which it did. Matte black eyes narrowed as he approached, his head tilting to regard Kakashi with a silent request for an explanation for his unexpected arrival, but it was merely met with a shrug and a passive smile.
Would it ever get any easier to see the deep rivers of scars that covered the entirety of the right side of his body? The fissures that burrowed into the skin of his face and twisted those features into only a phantom of the young man he had once known. Guilt nipped at Kakashi, not simply because of the tragic events that had led to Obito’s changes in appearance but for also thinking that he was any less of a man because of it. He knew that wasn’t the case, the Uchiha had adapted well to the physical alterations, but he couldn’t be certain that they hadn’t impacted him in other, deeper ways.
“Something tells me I’m not going to like the reason for your visit, Bakashi,” Obito stated with a narrowed glance, stepping sideways to allow Kakashi to pass him but brushing shoulders with him in the process.
“For once, you might be right…”
~
A ringing silence filled the sparse living room, punctured by the whistle of the kettle atop the stove in the adjoining kitchen. Obito blinked. Now, surely, he had misheard something within the little story he had finished listening to.
No, no, no.
He opened his mouth once, not able to find suitable words and closed it again. Kakashi stared at him with sorrowful eyes and that only made the thump of his heart escalate even more. He didn’t need that from him right now, didn’t want the empathy. He had no use for the even tone and measured words, what he wanted was his old rival and friend that would jab at him without prompting. Sarcasm dripping from every syllable – yes – that’s what he longed for.
Normality – was it so hard to attain? To wish that he could live like he wanted to without the heavy burden of what had come before? This was meant to be his chance at finding redemption, even if he were convinced that he would never be worthy of such a thing. When he thought of the risks that had been taken to make this possible… fuck, it didn’t bear considering.
“They’ve found out that the documents are gone, and you’ve got a date?” he asked, finally fighting past the lump in his throat.
Kakashi laughed, looking away with what looked like a blush creeping over his cheeks.
What the fuck, Kakashi Hatake, blushing? This must be a dream, a nightmare brought on by goodness knows what, but I cannot be witnessing Kakashi getting bashful over a girl.
“You’re turning into a tomato; did you know that?”
“Will you shut up! We are not discussing the colour of my cheeks, but I can put the mask back on if it bothers you that much,” he retorted with a scowl.
Obito watched him toy with the mask that rested around his throat, he still wasn’t used to his old friend removing it in his presence when he had never chosen to do so back in their youth. Whether it was meant to symbolise some kind of trust or not he wasn’t sure, but whatever it was or wasn’t, it continued to irk him.
“No need in hiding your embarrassment from me. I didn’t think it would take you this long to finally go on a date but here we are.” Standing from his beaten old couch, Obito wandered towards the hissing kettle and poured out two cups of tea. “So, what’s she like? Must be something special to have you flustered, Hatake.”
Kakashi choked on his saliva, meeting midnight eyes shining with boyish humour. He took the offered tea, setting it down and bristling at where this conversation seemed to be heading. They should be discussing what to do about the discovery of Obito’s missing death certificates, but the Uchiha didn’t seem keen on that course of action.
“Have you been out in the sun too long again? This is hardly the time or place to be talking about my love life, however non-existent you might believe it to be,” he said with a dismissive wave of his hand.
He did not want to tell him about you.
There wasn’t a single intention in his mind to share the little facts he learned so far and the many undeniable reasons he wanted to get to know you all the more. If Obito were to learn that he had stalked you in the halls of the Hokage tower rather than simply introducing himself like a normal person…
What he failed to realise was that Obito was clinging to any opportunity not to think or talk about the very real and serious situation he was facing. At the mere thought, cold sweat gathered at the nape of his neck and his stomach churned. The panic he had worked hard to subdue in the past few years threatened to swallow him whole at the prospect and he silently begged Kakashi not to say exactly what he knew he was about to say.
Sadly, his silent plea fell on deaf ears.
“Perhaps it would be for the best to declare yourself as alive. You would have my full support and protection. I could set you up in a proper home in the village, and find you a job to your liking. You deserve a shot at a second chance, take it.”
The teacup in his hand shook, rattling as he placed it down before he poured the burning liquid down his front. Obito took a deep breath, turning away from the silver-haired shinobi – now Hokage – and attempted to control the tendrils of fear that lunged for him. Like coiled ropes of barbed wire, they twisted around his limbs until he felt immobile, and his eyes widened suddenly in blind panic.
He would lose himself to a trip down memory lane if he wasn’t careful. It was imperative to regain the upper hand, to remind himself that he was no longer the puppet for a mastermind far more wicked than could have ever been comprehended. A hand landed on his shoulder, he jumped in response and swung around wildly, shoving a palm against a solid chest that did move but not as much as he’d have liked. So much strength, lost.
“Breathe, Obito. I didn’t think—look… I’m sorry.” The words sounded whispered over a great distance, not spoken in front of him and Obito sat heavily and let his head fall back against the couch.
The pain in his head dissipated slowly, and the first wash of shame hit him hard. Grinding his teeth, he scrubbed a palm down his face and refused to look at Kakashi who stood over him with an unreadable expression.
“I do not want or need your pity so whatever is going through that mind of yours, just forget it alright?”
“Why do you continue to shut me out? I thought we were over this dumb shit. We are meant to be friends, as loosely as you might want to apply that term, but friends should be there for each other.”
Obito scoffed, couldn’t he see the hypocrisy in his words? “Oh, you mean like how you refuse to talk to me about this girl that’s got you acting like a damn fool. You asked her on a date to distract the poor thing from her job, how very fucking rational of you.”
This was better, he could deal with the burn of irritation far easier than the torment of past traumas. As quickly as he had sat down, Obito was back on his feet and the two men looked ready to square off. 
Just when it looked like they might relive old times and go for a round of sparring, Kakashi blew out a breath and retreated a few steps. His hands dug deep into his pockets, assessing the situation for what it was, diversion tactics.
“If I tell you a bit about her, will you talk to me about what I mentioned? I know it’s not an easy subject but it’s become necessary to tackle it sooner rather than later,” Kakashi asked, once more extending the olive branch of friendship and peace.
A head of snowy hair nodded solemnly, his throat working furiously but resigning himself to the fact that Kakashi was right but he really could use the temporary distraction.
~
“Well, it’s a fine mess you’ve landed yourself in,” Obito surmised after Kakashi had finished going through the details he was happy to share. There were things being left unsaid but he didn’t push further. He could keep his precious secrets for now. Funny how he was sure they’d come to light in one way or another.
“I— it’s not that bad! You make it sound like I’ve led her on… wait, do you think I have?”
Obito shrugged, leaning back and taking a long sip of his tea. “Maybe not led her on but the water is so muddy you can’t see an inch in front of your face. Are you genuinely interested in her outside of the fact that she is on the right track to discovering my existence and ruining your perfect boy reputation?”
Kakashi stiffened and he was about to reply when he was interrupted. “‘Cause from what you’ve said and how you’ve said it, you like her a lot more than you’re admitting to me. It scares you, doesn’t it? First time even contemplating listening to your heart and it’s not as straightforward as you’d like it to be.”
“Stop speaking rationally, it doesn’t suit you… idiot. Anyway, I’ll fix it tomorrow.”
“Yeah yeah, whatever. Just remember that honesty is the best policy,” Obito quipped with a pointed finger.
Kakashi smiled despite himself, the ghost of his former squad mate’s bright grin enough to alleviate any immediate concerns over his upcoming dinner. “Is that right? So I should tell her all about you then, huh?”
“Whoa now, let’s not be hasty!”
“Uh-huh… that’s what I thought. Setting aside my failings, I think it’s about time we discussed more serious matters.”
It was going to be a long night; the two men chatting and arguing until the first rays of the morning sun leaked through the trees. Whilst the topic may have been heavy, neither could deny that it was nice to be in each other’s company for longer than their usual visits.
Maybe there would be a way out of this whole mess without hurting anyone and with a positive outcome for all. It seemed unlikely, but stranger things had happened so why rule it out?

Forsaken Ninja's Self Saving System.
I will be honest, I almost went feral. The rush of serotonin this just gave me left me lightheaded. Also, I petition for Hatake Sakumo to win OroYuan's hand in marriage. I know SY is canonically oblivious to his orientation but I feel that he shouldn't be /as/ dense. Like, a smidgen quicker at realizing that he likes the guy.
But to counter the fact that he's not in a stallion novel, he's still massively distracted by all his new kids. This sick 20-something, who has likely never interacted for long with babies, now has, like, 20 of them and he's expected to experiment on them.
And on that note, he's desperately trying to figure out a way to rat out Danzo without marking himself for death. Well, more than a Sanin that everyone on the other side would really like to kill off and can be conveniently blamed if OroYuan ends up dead.
If this is during the war, after he's already experimenting, that means Nawaki already died (ps, Oro was his jounin sensei, so extra whump for the Sanins) so Oro was already looking into ways to bring Nawaki back. Maybe he remembers more about Edo Tensei so he can bring Nawaki back sooner so Tsunade comes back. Unless you want OroYuan to decide not to play God. Or make it a System Task since that was one of Oro's life goals, beyond getting his parents back from the Reincarnation cycle.
Maybe he sends a message to Jiraiya telling him to pack up his Ame kids (Konan, Nagato and Yahiko, the OG Akatsuki) and get his ass back to Konoha. Or maybe he tells Kushina that Jiraiya found an Uzumaki and isn't bringing him back to Konoha. That'll fix That problem.
Anyways, for Sakumo. He's pack minded. All those little puppies he can enjoy. OroYuan may have snakes he can summon to babysit, but snakes vs wolves/dogs? (I can't remember which Sakumo had) Scaly vs fluffy? Sakumo is the favorite. Plus, Sakumo's summons are happier puppy sitting than OroYuan's snakes are to watch the hatchlings. Also, I really ship OroSakumo. OroYuan's main hangup in this (beyond having to accept he's at least bi 🙄) is he's a single father of 20. Sakumo thinks this is fine. He's a dying clan anyway, new blood welcomed. (Same for Oro) Anyways, OroYuan is very pretty and tries his best with his new orphanage (that can be the cover story OroYuan is rolling with).
Also, I really want him to set things up to fuck over Danzo and Sarutobi. I know Oro wanted the Hat but OroYuan is like, Dictator with 20 kids and having to do research to help improve Konoha? Hahaha, no. Minato can keep the Hat. In fact, OroYuan is /invested/ in keeping Minato in power. After all, Minato purged (to an extent) Danzo's ROOT program. OroYuan just has to point out a few hidden bases here and there. Plus making sure Minato knows about whatever Danzo's using to keep his agents quiet. I forget if it's the tongue seal at this point. (An argument was made that Oro also had a seal put on him and that was part of why he went crazy, since it wasn't perfect and Oro was already mentally and emotionally unstable after losing his parents as a toddler, his jounin sensei losing trust in his humanity (that no one nurtured), his best friend runs off during the war and vanishes, his genin all die in the war, Tsunade leaving him after he let (couldn't save) her brother die, being overlooked by his sensei for the Hat when he's been the only one of his team who stayed for Jiraiya's student, and the civilians (and some other ninjas) are scared of his looks so he's always isolated) Anyways, his time at Konoha is not fun. But Sakumo takes care of all of his teammates, which is what was used to kick off the 3rd War. So he would be accepting of Oro/OroYuan.
If OroYuan wants to improve everything (if the System let's him) he could do "recon" and find out that there's a captured Uchiha and Konoha should rescue them ASAP. If Obito is in the Mountains Graveyard, I believe that it's close enough to Konoha to make them worried so twice as likely to actually do something. Hopefully, that can derail Tobi. But that's for future OroYuan to worry about.
Right now, Minato and his generation are probably chunin or thereabouts. So OroYuan can't even count on Minato to take over yet. Maybe he can install Sakumo as the Yondaime. After all, he was in the running before Danzo sabotaged him and he killed himself. So OroYuan still ends up as a dictators husband. Just one that is actually like by his people and probably doesn't blow off his work so much.
Shen Yuan quickly learns and masters Kage Bushin No Jutsu - one caretaker for every wailing baby, naturally. Oh and a clone to help him wash all that long silky black hair so that it remains silky.
(No, you don't want to know how much conditioner and shampoo he goes through every month to wash out all that baby drool.)
And well, this is a ninja village who does notice Orochimaru's increase in shampoo and conditioner purchases... and they spy on his baby supply shopping spree.
The ninja-moms quickly rope Orochimaru into their mother association meetings. Some people even come up to Orochimaru, un solicitated, to give him well intended baby care advise.
As Shen Yuan is already extremely overwhelmed about babies... he's very grateful for all this unsolicited advice because he's starting from like. Step -100.
Ninja-babies are HARD to take care of, okay? He has to deal with baby chakra monsters and bloodlines popping out at inopportune times. Especially when one baby start throwing tantrums and sobbing like the world is ending, a chain reaction begins and now Shen Yuan has a whole orchestra of screaming babies to handle.
And with chakra comes a whole new set of autoimmune disorders (related to chakra) that Shen Yuan gets to explore and learn about. First hand. Yippee /s
He's also busy trying to figure out more about Orochimaru's backstory since he didn't read that much of Naruto. And, like, this is the prequel and stuff. So many strange faces and unknown names floating around that he doesn't recognize as being in canon timeline.
Plus all the experiments he's running. He's got a lot of ideas of trying to recreate a lot of modern medicine techniques and technology into this world.
Anyways, this is to say that Shen Yuan is very appreciative of the support he's getting from the village and it shows... so people are now less nervous about going up to the snake sanin. This does wonders for Orochimaru's reputation in the village.
It also uh... starts a Orochimaru fangroup.
Anyways, with 20 kids on his hands and being an introvert surrounded by just too many fucking people day in and day out, Shen Yuan isn't going to be hunting down Jiraiya anytime soon.
Out of sight, out of mind, and Shen Yuan doesn't like perverts around him. Or influencing his kids.
Baby minds are much too malleable and can learn bad habits early on after all.
He doesn't mind Jiraiya's kid hanging around though. Minato makes a great assistant, fetching groceries and putting in orders for more baby supplies.
And then there's the really nice ninja who keeps bringing his large dogs over to cuddle the babies.
For all that Shen Yuan feels overwhelmed, he feels quite supported by the group of people he has around them. They are even helping him with naming the babies!
Oh Shen Yuan...
(Just wait for him to realize that those large dogs are, in fact, wolves. Oh and both Minato and Sukumo have crushes on him. But that's not happening any time soon.)
[More in the #shen yuan transmigrates into orochimaru's body and the naruto universe instead au]

Clans in Naruto
The worldbuilding in Naruto is unfortunately very sparse and kinda patchwork in a lot of aspects. We know that the villages are essentially dozens of clans banded together to become a bigger picture and there are even certain hierarchies among the clans, what with there being 4 noble clans (Akimichi, Aburame, Hyuuga and Uchiha) yet we never once get like an indication that the first two are anything special.
The Akimichi kinda makes sense because I think it was said that historically the Nara and Yamanaka clans were sort of retainers, and they've had this historic alliance, but whatever such hierarchy existed between them definitely doesn't in the present day, because all Nara are apparently high IQ leaders whose big brains definitely make for the best commanders, so if there is a leadership position in that alliance, it is definitely the Nara. Also, the Sarutobi are involved somehow, what with the giving the earrings thing, but I am not sure if this tradition predates Konoha or not, because they said it happens when they make chunin which is not something that existed before Konoha did.
It's interesting, and a bit frustrating because I don't think we are sure what that means? Like, you can see the synergy and reason for the Akimichi-Yamanaka-Nara alliance, and sure, more people in the alliance makes it stronger, but what exactly is the role of the Sarutobi there? Why did those three clans grant the Sarutobi this ceremonial but elevating duty? What is the connection there and how did that evolve? It's fun to speculate as a fan, and it's true that we don't really need this information for the story, but I have to say, I personally would have been more interesting in the whole clan history than the bunch of dimensional aliens the story later threw at us.
As to the maybe prominence of the Akimichi, you can hazard a guess, of course. Generally speaking the Akimichi are the physically strongest fighters, so strictly speaking, that might have given them the more dominant position, but then again, the Naruto world tends to have quite a few "geniuses" who are so much stronger than everyone else that a clan just needs to have one or two of those, and the overall strength of the clan doesn't matter all that much in comparison. I guess the Nara or Yamanaka never really had that, so they remained the support and enablers for the Akimichi to deliver devastating attacks.
And I don't super mind that, but I kinda wish the clans would be explored more. What makes the Aburame a noble clan, for example, and how come the Senju don't make the cut for noble clan? Especially seeing Uchiha and Senju were the two strongest clans and the founders, with the first two Hokage being Senju.
I guess the implication being that the Senju all died out eventually but a) how did that happen anyway and b) surely the noble clan stuff is not a recent thing, so when Konoha was founded, there were enough Senju alive to constitute a clan, especially seeing that Hashirama and Tobirama were around, so what disqualified the Senju from noble clan status?
The Hatake are a clan, but as far as we knew, the most amount of clan members they had were two. I don't think a single person constitutes as a clan, especially one that has been disgraced for so long as the Hatake were, but at least they had been a clan.
So now that I have learned that there is a Lee clan, with Rock Lee and his son, I'm not sure what a clan even is, anymore. What is the difference between a clan and a family? Because I would have assumed that a clan necessitates a certain size, at least at some point in history. Then there are traditions, techniques, and even bloodline limits, and while Lee can start a tradition or techniques to pass down on, I feel like to proclaim you and your son a clan feels a bit hasty.
I do find the notion interesting that despite banding together in a village, quite a few clans seem to have been depleted to single individuals when they maintained large numbers in the Warring Clans era.
The Senju had been in an all out war with the Uchiha for generations and with dozens of other clans, and the maintained hundreds of family members. But the second they formed Konoha with the Uchiha and many other clans, the Senju were reduced to one person who was in her 50s within two generations. And that was with the first two Hokage being Senju and the third being a Senju student.
What happened there?
Now, you can again theorize. I liked the fan theory that it was kinda Tobirama's unintended fault. That by making it so that the Uchiha were the police force within the village, which distanced them from the village population who viewed them as the unpopular cops who couldn't really earn glory and fame on the battlefield as almost all of them were stuck in the village, it also protected them from dying on the battlefield.
And it wasn't like there weren't any wars or fighting, so the Uchiha, their strongest fighters next to the Senju, were stuck in the village and couldn't go out and meet the strongest enemies in battle, so the Senju had to pick up the slack and more of them died until they couldn't maintain an active population anymore and none of the Hokage who definitely had their best interest in mind noticed or were able to do anything about it.
So the plan worked in that it alienated the Uchiha from the village and curbed their power, but it also was an abject failure because it resulted in the very thing Tobirama wanted to prevent, the deaths of his clan members.
That is of course just a theory, but it kinda rings true to me.
Not going to go into the Hyuuga now because nothing makes sense about them except the fact that they were designed to suck.
But yeah, I wish the clans were explored more, that we got a bit more about their histories and maybe like, that more of them have goals and ambitions beyond just protecting the village. Or that we learned how some clans still have hundreds of members while others have been completely decimated even though the village framework should have prevented that very thing.
Sorry, was a bit rambly and all over the place.

Hi ! So glad I find your master worldbuilding mind!
Quick question, how do you think we went from a clan-based village to actual Konoha where several clans (Senju, Sarutobi?, Uchiha, Danzo clan? , Hatake if it's a clan) have disapear? Did the village care ou try to protect them? Did other clans are treathen by the possibilities to be let down?
Because you said that Tobirama trust Uchiha with police force but Sarutobi was obsessed by clan balance and all. I know Sarutobi is old, so a lot could have happening.
Any thought?
Hi! Okay so this ask is actually based on a slightly flawed premise (not your fault it's Kishi's worldbuilding again) in that we do not actually see a lot of "wiped out" clans. What we see is Kishi not bothering to flesh out the clans he has because what is attention span. For example; the Sarutobi are not wiped out! There is exactly one shot of the Sarutobi clan in the 4th war arc that is in both the manga and the anime (in the anime the shot is actually narrower so you can't see as many as in the manga shot) where a bunch of their jounin and chuunin members (like easily double digits, I forget the exact number but I wanna say around 20ish? With more implied to be off screen) breathe fire at the juubi in sync. And it is confirmed they are all Sarutobi. There's like one guy who's essentially like: COME ON GUYS LET'S SHOW THEM THE SARUTOBI CLAN KICKS ASS.
So the Sarutobi clan is actually a decent enough/healthy enough size, we just literally never hear or see it until that one single shot. So it's reasonable to assume most clans are healthy and protected by Konoha. This is kind of implicitly supported by the narrative too, because things like the Uchiha and Hatake and Senju being nearly extinct are things that people comment on and find noteworthy, which means it's *not* the norm.
As for how the three clans we know of being wiped out *got* wiped out, I think that is less the fault of Konoha itself (tho Hiruzen is directly at fault for allowing the Uchiha massacre thanks) and more a side effect of that transition from clan based society to village based society. Namely the multiple shinobi wars. As I mentioned in my economics rant, the shinobi wars were something entirely out of the league of clan wars back in the day in terms of scale and destruction, so clans that got hammered likely were ones either already on the small size (like the Hatake probably were) or ones that would have been intentionally targeted by the enemy out of fear (Senju and Uchiha). The sheer scale of the conflict and clashing powers would have decimated targeted clans, and the villages would have been unprepared for that kind of issue until it was too late. After that, the surviving members could have easily died out without having kids post war, or if they were female members in the case of, say, the Senju, they didn't die out but the *name* died out, because it's still traditional in Naruto world cultures for the woman to join the family of the man and not the other way around (with the exception of the Uchiha and other regularly manifesting kekkei genkai clans I imagine).
We don't see anything about the Shimura clan either way beyond Danzo, which is again a flaw in the kishi worldbuilding, so we don't know if he actually has a clan still running around, or if they were just a small clan that got hammered in the multiple shinobi wars. On that note you can apply this same worldbuilding problem to almost every other village in the show. Kumo, Iwa, and Suna all have characters who are implied to be from a clan or have kekkei genkai that appear to be hereditary but no clan is mentioned. So we just do not know if there IS a clan of say- people with hand mouths like Deidara, or if they are one-off manifestations of a kekkei genkai, or if they are survivors of other villages' clans that got hammered casualty-wise by the wars like the Senju and Hatake presumably were.
Logistically speaking it would be beneficial for the villages as a whole to do everything they could to keep their clans alive, since their clans are where their powerhouses tend to come from while civilian-born shinobi fill out the ranks with more mid-level shinobi. There would probably be incentives and benefits offered by the village for clan shinobi to marry and have kids that bear the clan name, etc etc. And clans that are still a healthy size work hard to keep it that way.
I hope that answered your question?
