Missing Nin AU: Designs! (Later additions to the team.) + Full Team Lineup!

Again, massive thanks to the best boyfriend in the world for doing the lineart for digitalizing these and so quickly at that! It's lovely and I cannot thank him enough.

Entire 'Missing Nin' team lineup!

SO! Continuing from my last post-

The group of three begin to fend for themselves in the real world, but they need to stay off of the radar as much as possible. They (and by they I mean pretty much Obito and Kakashi being commanded by Obito) steal from smaller villages for necessities like food, water, and clothing. Neither of the boys tell Rin the truth of how they obtain their necessities, as they know they'll be scolded.

Rin would tag along with the two, however, with her tailed beast around behind a hardly functioning seal meant to break, for the time being, she's best off staying put by their campsites.

Over time, the nin adjust and (with a lot of manipulation and convincing) start working towards the goal of Obito's perfect world. He knows it's achievable thanks to Madara's "words of wisdom", but he's mostly left to figure it out on his own. Zetsu visits every now and again to check on his progress as Madara's successor of course, but these meetings are private and are strictly between Obito and Zetsu. Nobody else knows.

Eventually, Rin, seeing herself in some of the foes they happen to face along the way, recruits new members into the group. (Mostly without Obito's consent.) But to please her, he goes along with it. (Besides, 6 heads are better than 3).

Zabuza is the first to be recruited, being newly outcast from his village for his tendency to rely on bloodlust and inability to keep himself under control. So he sets out on his own as a rogue ninja. Although he's quickly intercepted by Rin and invited to join them. At least for a short while. (He stays forever, but that's okay. Kakashi takes quite the liking to him. Wink Wink Nudge Nudge-).

Kabuto is recruited next as he is intercepted just before becoming a spy for Danzo. Kabuto takes an instant liking to Rin as she reminds him of Nonou, and through listening to his love for her, Rin promised to help find her to reunite the two. In the meantime though, she takes on a very much parental and motherly role towards him. This, in turn, causes Kabuto to become very close to and protective of Rin, even developing a slight crush on her.

Finally, Utakata is recruited after finding him lounging around, seemingly carefree. Zabuza recognizes him as the 6 tails jinchuriki, and with that information, Rin develops an immediate kinship with him, doing her best to seize the opportunity to learn from a fellow jinchuriki. (And Obito is entirely good with it. Having more tailed beasts around makes his plan easier.)

Everyone on the team has their own important role to play, and ultimately, it pays off when they're eventually found by Minato. But that, again, is for another post.

TLDR: Now that the team could adequately take care of themselves, Rin felt the responsibility to recruit others in similar situations to them, as, to her, they deserved acceptance and love. These new Recruits are Zabuza, Kabuto, and Utakata.

AGAIN! If you read all of this, thank you so so much!! This AU means the world to me, and if anyone here is able to enjoy it, I'm the happiest person on the planet. Thank you all for all of the support!!

Work Equally Revered

The heaviness in my heart is gone. (Part II, Ep. 225). | Discord 30 Minute Gift Exchange (Ghosts of Narutos Past) for @ohayohimawari | Prompt: The Cursed Ghost Ship, Tranquility. 

                            ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“You know, Zabuza-kun, I didn’t take you for much of a dog person,” Kakashi says lightly. He reaches out to scratch Pakkun, who looks surprisingly content in the rogue ninja’s arms.

“They’re easier to get along with when they’re not biting me,” Zabuza replies wryly. His tone is equally conversational. “Besides that, we’ve had time to get to know one another.” 

Helpfully, Pakkun tells Kakashi, “He’s alright.” 

Nodding, Kakashi replies, “About that...” He leans against the wall of what had been his previously single-occupant room aboard this ship. He supposes he should give his guards a lecture later, given that no one else has come bursting in yet. “I don’t mean to be rude, but aren’t you dead?” 

Zabuza takes the liberty of setting Pakkun down on Kakashi’s bed, and sitting there himself. “As far as I know.” 

“So, what? You heard in the Pure Lands we were visiting Kirigakure, and thought you’d come say hi to Mei-san?” 

His companion laughs. At which part, Kakashi isn’t sure. In either case, it is a much less harsh sound than Kakashi remembers, and it makes Kakashi’s own lips quirk upward. “You’re the one who summoned me,” Zabuza says, as if this is enough of an explanation. With a once-over of Kakashi, he adds, “Nice outfit.”

Kakashi looks down at his Hokage robes, and then at Zabuza, who, on this occasion, is once again favouring a bare chest and cow print. “I’m not sure you’re qualified to give fashion advice. And what do you mean, I summoned you?”

Zabuza inclines his head towards Kubikiribōchō, resting in the corner of the room. The main purpose of this voyage. Then, he looks at Pakkun. “You know how summoning works, don’t you? Seals bound by blood. You’re not very careful about who your dogs bite, are you?” 

“You’re telling me that you came here because I called Pakkun?” Kakashi shakes his head. “The ninken bit you years ago. Besides, your body was sealed during the war.”

“The sword and the dog have absorbed my chakra and blood. I don’t need a physical carcass any more than a summons does.”

Kakashi needs to sit down, and so he finds himself on the bed alongside his former-enemy-turned-acquaintance-turned-ghost-roommate. “You’ve always had such a way with words,” he deadpans. “So, how exactly do we help you find peace now that you’re here?”

“You’re going to Kiri?” Zabuza confirms. When Kakashi nods, the man offers a sharp, lively grin. “Well, Haku always said I ought to do more community service.”

Kakashi and Zabuza - going somewhere new together for the first time. for @kanekolinkk

“Hey, don’t stare! Have y’all not learned that starin’ is rude!” Zabuza gribs the sword at his back aggressively. “I will cut ya head off-“

“I don’t think that would prevent them from staring if you’d do that,” Kakashi says in this dry voice he uses when he is joking. He seems rather unbothered by the commotion the two of them are causing with just walking down the street next to each other.

Zabuza lets his sword go and spits out in front of him. “I told you we should just make a sign,” Kakashi continues. “Hang it over my back. Have all the questions answered before they are asked. Just tap the sign. But you said that would be ridiculous.”

“Because it is!” Zabuza barks back. “Just say that you aren’t takin’ this seriously at all. People would have thought that you are just jokin’.”

Kakashi waves with his free hand. “Yes, yes.” They’ve had this discussion the entire way from Kirigakure to Konohagakure and always landed on the same conclusion: Ripping off the bandaid quickly and decisively was probably the easiest way point of action. Even if that meant people would stare.

It’s not like Kakashi is forced to date among the options that are plenty in his home village. He has no family or clan to report to, no duty to conform with what the villagers or the Hokage expects of him. Still, Konoha is his home, and if he wants to live her again full time, move away from the damp and dark and rainy of Kirigakure, then there is no other option then to bring Zabuza with him, introduce him for what he is, explain how it happened.

Well, Zabuza needed to get used to Konoha equally as much. He was just too used to dark places that never questioned is motives and morals, well at least until Kakashi came around.

The village of Konoha and the shinobi Zabuza, they would just have to circle each other like wild animals and sniff each other out for a while and the easiest way to do that was to put all the cards on the table. The quicker everyone accepted the state of things, the easier it was to just continue living.

Because ultimately that’s what Kakashi wants: to continue living a normal life. He has done the jumping between hoops of visiting Kirigakure for months on end and then returning to his normal life in Konoha again, because there were jobs to be done and people do be cared about. It was exciting at first but then always a little annoying. When he was here he missed there and when he was there he missed here. It was easier to just bring both places together.

And yes, it was just easier to bite the bullet one time, have people stare at them as Kakashi walks Zabuza down village streets as his official partner, then to bring the entire village of Konoha to the Land of Water. Even if that might be a little too much public attention for Zabuza, who could never resist complaining and yelling about stuff that bothered him, it would get better with time.

“They are all starin’ like they’ never seen a Kirigakure shinobi before,” Zabuza growls a little quieter than usual, but still loud enough for everyone around to hear. Kakashi knows telling him that he knows well enough that this is not why they are staring.

“For many of them that is probably true,” he says instead. “It doesn’t happen so often that one of them comes to visit.”

His partner grumbles. “Right.”

“They will get used to it,” Kakashi states what he is confident about. “It’s just because we have never been her together before.” He moves just a little closer to Zabuza, holding his hand a little tighter between his own.

“You promised it would be fine,” he says.

“It will,” Kakashi replies without hesitation.

Kakazabu is funny cuz on the one hand you have over protective Haku who’s glaring daggers at Kakashi and threatening to murder him if he hurts zabuza

And on the other hand you have Naruto, sasuke and sakura trying to help Zabuza plan out the perfect dates with Kakashi and giving him pointers on how to woo their dumb sensei

As suddenly as it had come, it stopped, leaving Zabuza sprawled on his back on the ground. 'What the hell was that,' he rasped.

Kakashi ignored him, panting from the exertion of casting such a complex jutsu as his eyes searched their new surroundings. They had landed on the porch of an unlit house, with acres of unkempt fields as far as he could see.

The night air smelled sweeter and Kakashi pulled his mask down to breathe it in unfiltered. 'It worked,' he whispered in astonishment, 'we’re here.

'Stardew Valley,' Kakashi smiled."

Zabuza sidles over slowly with a scowl, his arms folded until he finally stands next to Kakashi. Flicking his eyes up to the mistletoe and then turning his head to look away when Kakashi notices what he's looking at.

“Cute,” Kakashi chuckled, unafraid of embarrassing Zabuza even more than he already was. “Were you wanting a kiss under the mistletoe?”

Swoop in close, he pulled down his mask at the last moment and kissed Zabuza’s cheek.
