#kushina is MY hokage

[theshadowrealmitself]

“They don’t care about being uzumaki’s-“ and isn’t that sad? in a world where everyone else who’s from a clan knows their clan intimately and has all these customs and history to make them feel closer to their family, the Uzumaki clan is just lonely orphans scattered to the winds?

Isn’t it sad that Naruto lives in a village where his father’s face overlooks it, everyone who knows his dad says he looks like him, wanting to be a hokage is seen as following his dad’s footsteps, that one of his teachers was his dad’s student and the other teacher was his dad’s teacher, and yet Naruto doesn’t have his mom’s chains, or her hair, all he shares with her besides a love for ramen is the burden of being a jinchuuriki and a clan name that he doesn’t care about ?

Isn’t it sad that there used to be a clan and now there’s no one left to mourn or care about them, isn’t it sad that the last two members might as well be considered clan less since there’s nothing tying the two of them together? Isn’t it sad that that 3 separate Uzumaki’s had to bear the burden of being a jinchuuriki for a village that didn’t even bother to remember them? Isn’t it sad?

#and doesn’t it fucking make you angry as hell that the FIRST HOKAGE the most important dude in their history had an Uzumaki wife #and no one bothered to remember her #uzumaki clan #Naruto #naruto uzumaki #karin uzumaki #kushina uzumaki #mito uzumaki #anyways this is my self indulgent blog so they do care about being Uzumaki’s #cry me a river about it

Lowkey feel like Minato would be so into being Tori's house husband.

Or even the trope of like some foreign power overthrowing the kingdom and their leader marrying that country's princess to claim legitimacy. Imagine that but with Tori overthrowing Konoha and Minato being her hostage/husband.

Like Tori would never do that but I bet he secretly wishes she maybe did.

NGL i do kind of like this idea. you're right that tori wouldn't organically come to conclusion she should be in charge, and i do not think she would like the amount of work she'd have to put into it (both to maintain her authority, and just to be anything approaching competent-- if tori decides to do a task, she prefers doing a good job)...... but i like the idea of her and minato mutually going kind of off the deep end. like maybe he could CONVINCE her this would be a good idea because he's like "it's be hot tho" and she'd be like "oh no"

except i was also playing with the idea of them deciding to end all ninja villages

#actually this would be a really fun minakushi fic #like au where kushina goes off the deepend after whirlpool's fall and she's like #'i am forcefully becoming hokage now. you're my hostage-husband' @ minato #he's like: oh noooo... i am not turned on at aaaaall......... (twirls hair) #asynchronicity

#i could add more but idk those seem like the worst. i hesitated to add karin bc her story is interesting and her actions make sense but #ya kno. for me its gotta b rin bc shes not even a character. shes a non entity. just a memory there to welcom obito into the afterlife #and i fucking hate that. but kushina comes in second for me. bc shes written as wanting to be hokage and then has to watch her husband #become hokage and then b happy abt it. that just feels mean. but. i mean. should the answer actually b sakura? #shes not even interesting as a character which is pretty bad. ok i think rin is the worst bc kishimoto forgot to make her a person #and then sakura for forgetting to give her literally anything interesting and useful to do. so much potential wasted #then kushina bc kushina is my baby girl #so so so much potential. oh god but theyre all so badly written. its an impossible question #naruto #naruto ramblings #polls

Naruto as a series in general has a lot of flaws in its writing but the one aspect that makes me wanna commit war crimes all the time is how team Minato was treated when all of the team members (yes kushina is a part of it you can argue with a wall if you disagree) had such a key role to play in the main storyline. They're the one team that really makes me want to go sit rewrite naruto and if not a happier ending atleast a satisfactory time in the plot before killing literally everyone off, I need more kakashi,obito,rin,kushina,and Minato interactions, I need rins character to flesh out more than her just her being a one dimensional sacrifice for trauma purposes there are so many things I wish for this team they really fucking deserved a better narration at the very least .

#naruto #team minato #hatake kakashi #uchiha obito #rin nohara #kushina uzumaki #minato namikaze #i will be honest when i say this that team minato had all the potential to become the main focus point of the series #its literally a powerhouse #both in the aspects of rin and kushina being a jinchuriki obito being an underdog uchiha minato being the yellow flash cue hokage #and kakashi being the prodigy product because of his own high iq and by training with sakumo and minato #and the aspect where all of them have extremely indepth plots and complex characterizations to offer to the story #anyways I'll end my rants just thought about them and my brain malfunctioned #so had to take it out in this hellsite

[nomadicrusalka]

I have a new naruto au in my mind and gahhhh it's making me go crazy!! I want to do like concept art pieces for it,,, but I need to plan it all out first hh

#just some thoughts #it's uzushio still exists and is all fine au #i just love the uzumaki clan okay?? #i love them #i love the red hair on characters too #and so much changes with uzushio still existing?? because like #in my head naruto would live there with kushina #but minato is still his father and the hokage of konoha #so they dont interact that much i guess?? #and if that whole thing is the case then whats up with the kyuubi jinchuuriki #is naruto one?? is kushina still one?? #why would konoha accept them chilling back in uzushio?? #idk man idk!! #its making my brain go brr tho!!

Plus these two pairs! I had to search deep in my memories and try to bring back how teen me thought these kids would be, back when the manga was being published, and I had no certainty these ships would actually be endgame. For their looks at least.

NaruHina girl is Kushina shaped Hinata colored. She's also lowkey a middle finger to Boruto's Naruto, who, in my heart would give up on his dream of being hokage with no hesitation if it meant making his child the happiest ever.

Sasusaku girl is a little Itachi copy, with a hint of Sakura's temper. The boy has the angsty Uchiha genes, and is a mama's boy.

Just a normal day at the Hokage office! xD Minato bragging with his cute lil' baby boy ~ (Actually, Kushina not feeling well was just an excuse, he'd been wanting to do this the whole time!)

Another add to my red haired Naruto au headcanon. This idea just popped into my mind. Minato, the famous 4th Hokage, legendary Yellow Flash, greeting shinobi in his office with a baby strapped to his chest - what a sight to behold! The switch between his role as Hokage and dad-mode isn't easy but Minato masters it fluidly. The thought was so hilarious that I needed to draw it! xD

Also I'm currently working on another project for this redhead Naruto headcanon, another short comic. It's just taking me longer than I thought, because it got a lot longer than actually planned. I hope it won't take me too long to finish it. So for the meantime have this little comic piece.

Thanks for taking a look! :)

WAIT WAIT WAIT someone is like 'pfft marrying their jinchurriki. obviously its political' and minato is like. you accuse me. of NOT LOVING MY WIFE? RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME? ILL HAVE YOU KNOW-

minato rips off his shirt to reveal a full chest tattoo that says I LOVE KUSHINA 5EVER

#i the context of #reborn au #kushina being a jinchuriki is a very well kept secret #but if we keep my headcanon that uzushio was attacked specifically because #people were afraid that minato getting the hat AND being married to kushina would mean uzushio would join the war on konoha's side #then yes i bet lots of people outside of konoha think it was a political marriage #(no one in konoha thinks this because anyone who's talked to minato for five minutes knows he loves his wife) #also yes i think minato could stand there and listen to people say insane and inaccurate and possibly cruel things about HIM all day #but you speak ill of his family?????? RIP u #idk obviously we want to make him 'break character' at ninjacon but i've been debating how #was considering a scenario where someone says something weird af to tori and he's like #'i can't believe he would say that to you IN FRONT OF ME' #like he's very aware weird dudes say inappropriate things to teen girls ok. he signs off on missions involving teenage girls with knives #taking advantage of that #but also he's been hokage for like a decade. usually people behave in front fo him????????

Please do talk more about Naruto, I have a lot of thoughts about The Boy. I wish the anime expanded more on the Uzumaki tbh, they seemed really cool.

Would’ve been nice for Naruto to learn more of his heritage/more about Minato and Kushina

I think at this point I know all the canon info on the uzumaki and I agree, I wish there was more but also that leaves a lot of room for speculation. Which is also fun. I have a lot of thoughts on kushina specifically bc as soon as she appeared she instantly became one of my top 10 characters

#like i specifically have a lot of thoughts on the dynamic between kushina and minato and how he became hokage #bc i lov kushina so much but minato is kind of baffling and narratively broken imo. so i have a lot of thoughts on fixing that #but i know hes in more eps so im kinda waiting to get there so i have more a grip on his personality #also i wanna know how all the alien bullshit works #but i have thoughts on how seal construction works and how chakra flows #and my ultimate naruto self indulgent fantasy is probably the idea of kushina and iruka interacting #like i want iruka to gush abt naruto and kushina to b like waaah thank u so much for looking out for my amazing son #and iruka would b like wah thank u for saving his life and allowing me to meet him 😭 #but yeah i need more info on the alien nonsense before i can get into my thoughts on the uzumaki. i think. maybe not #the hard part is my brain tells me i have to draw my thoughts into existence and also those thoughts have #to fit into the prompts in my prompt book. which it is getting increasingly difficult to do naruto related things for lmao #unrelated #naruto

The baby sannin and the Senju. OK IDEAS UNDER THE CUT

I’ve read it a few times (not often enough) in fic that because of Tsunade’s lineage/family, it’s possible that the baby sannin got to know Hashirama, Tobirama, Mito etc. Basically the esteemed, almost royal, Senju family. By virtue of just being Tsunade’s teammates, I’m sure both Orochimaru and Jiraiya would’ve been kids the family wanted to get to know, and might’ve even come under intense scrutiny and/or affection lmao.

I know the warring era timeline is fuzzy, but it seems like Tsunade knew her grandpa for a while. It’s unlikely for the sannin to be a trio until they’re genin (would be cute tho), but I think would still warrant Tobirama knowing who they are. I’m assuming Sarutobi was already teaching the three, during the Nidaime’s rule, before he takes up the hat. Mito is still alive in Kushina’s time, so she’d definitely see the other two often.

Regardless, I like the thought of this being possible lmao. Tsunade roping her two buddies into her family compound and stuff. (Orochimaru is orphaned at some point and it squeezes my heart at the thought that the Tsunade tries her best to help) ((There’s probably something about the clan not taking orphans, because favouritism and all that but eugh PRETEND))

In any case, I think any students linked to the Hokage or the Hokage’s students are always a big deal as they’re likely to be the next candidates, so the sannin were a very special team from the get go. It then makes sense then for Nawaki, Tsunade’s brother, to be entrusted to Orochimaru (not at all canonically proven to be a sensei-student relation, but still entrusted because it’s Orochimaru, Tsunade’s teammate). This is probably a death that was a rather big deal for the Senju family tbh, and it’d be news in Konoha at the very least, tied to Oro’s name possibly? Fast forward to when Oro’s the only Sannin left in Konoha and the small and dwindling Senju clan, he’s quite terribly alone, leading to Danzo, Root, etc. He made the choice to be a horrible human, but quite a lot leads up to it/molds him into it. Anyway, lmao how awkward it’d be to reincarnate Tsunade’s grandpa and granduncle with Edo Tensei sldkfjngsdg. The god of shinobi going “Omg you’ve grown so tall now, you used to be so kawaii” XD

#naruto #orochimaru #tsunade #jiraiya #hashirama #mito uzumaki #tobirama #doodle #doodles #fanart #i really want a sannin centric fic exploring this very phenomena #and maybe another oro one #where the four hokage talk to him and about him #lmao oro knowing all four hokage personally #i love the thought that him and minato knew each other and don't actually have too much beef #mostly because I feel the oro wants to be hokage thing to be rather folly lol #just doesn't seem to fit his mo and feels like something danzo pushed forth? #maybe im wrong there idk

[forthereaderinserts]

Minato: Why is Jiraiya just now taking care of my son when he should have been doing that when I died?

You: He probably wasn’t allowed to, Danzo vetoed any decision he could as he wanted to take Naruto in and turn him into a weapon.

Tobirama: WHAT?!

You: And the third Hokage didn’t allow Mikoto Uchiha to take him in because he didn’t want the Uchiha to have the nine tailed fox, despite the fact that she was willing to adopt him because not only was she Kushina’s best friend but Minato’s teammate.

Tobirama: …When they die, we will be having words. And I’ll be kicking their asses.

Minato: Y/n you need to help me beat the shit out of the living.

[ID: A Naruto comic. Sarutobi stands in a bright white void and says, "Mm, so this must be the after--" He looks forward and sweats. "... life." Looming in front of him are Minato and Kushina, fists in palms and their eyes shadowed but expressions coldly furious. Sarutobi says, "Ah--" End ID]

——

‘I promise to take care of Naruto.’ He said before ditching a four year old pariah alone into an apartment, tossing some money at him, and telling him to figure it out.

It’s a love/hate thing with the Third Hokage when it comes to me.

Happy birthday, Shana! 🎉🎉🌻🌻

Untamed or Naruto?

When Naruto is born, the nine tailed fox is pulled from Kushina along with her and it's only because of Minato's quick application of a seal that keeps disaster from becoming even worse.

Dozens of buildings and hundreds of lives are lost in the devestation. Still, it could have been a far worse attack, if Naruto had not been a suitable host for the demon.

It's a risk, one that Kushina screams at him for taking. The seal might not hold. Babies are not meant to be containers. It could kill their daughter, and sure, the nine tail might die along with her, but at what cost?

The seal holds. Naruto's strength holds.

The ordeal nearly kills Kushina and weakens her enough that she'll never again be an active duty ninja.

Minato sleeps at his office after that. Kushina doesn't even let him hold her until she's six months old and it's not until Naruto is almost two that she lets him move back into their home.

Still. Things aren't quite the same between them after that, when Kushina saw how he quick he was to sacrifice his daughter for the village.

Practically, she understands.

But no one has ever accused Kushina of being practical.

~

A container forced to spend their whole life fighting the fox will be weak. There's nothing for it - all their energy and chakra and time is spent subduing the fox, consciously or subconsciously.

Her daughter has been sabotaged from her first breath, made a target and given no way to defend herself.

"You want me to marry your daughter?" Kakashi squeaks, wondering if this is some new cruel prank she's playing on him. "She's a baby!"

But Kushina is serious. She's serious a lot these days, but at his question she almost smiles. "Not now. In about twenty years."

"Why," he starts, and then doesn't know how to continue.

"You're selfish," she says and his shoulders hunch. "Naruto won't be able to protect herself when people discover what she is and start coming after her. Minato has seen to that. My identity as the container was a well kept secret. Thanks to the attack, half of Konoha knows what Naruto is, and the other nations will hear of it, and they will come for her."

"I can protect her without marrying her," he insists, looking down at the baby in Kushina's arms. The idea that anyone, never mind him, will marry her someday is ridiculous.

"You're selfish," she repeats. "You'll choose her if she belongs to you."

Kakashi doesn't know what to say to that. He knows why Minato hasn't come home.

He goes to him, and his teacher just shrugs and says, "Don't you want to be my son-in-law, Kakashi?" Then, "Don't worry about it for the next twenty years. A lot can happen between now and then."

Gai hears he's been betrothed - uhg - to the hokage's daughter and congratulates him on an excellent political match and then takes pity on him and takes him to a bar.

It's his first time drinking and he probably shouldn't have let Gai goad him into a drinking contest.

~

Naruto is wary of people.

Some people love her, coo over her being the hokage's daughter and a brave little girl, patting her head and shoving sweets into her hands.

Some people glare at her, hiss about her being a demon who's killed the hokage's real daughter, and slam doors in her face and throw rocks at her back.

"Is it weird having a husband?" Ino asks while they make flower crowns from the days discarded flowers. It's the end to their first week at the academy and her parents are fighting - again - so Naruto had gone home with Ino instead. The Yamanakas are always nice to her.

Her mother doesn't want her to attend the academy, says its a waste of time and dangerous anyway. Her father says that the child of the hokage can't not attend the academy.

Neither of them had asked her what she wanted.

She pauses, thinking. Kakashi greets her and bows to her but he's ANBU, something she's not supposed to know but seems very obvious, so she doesn't really see him outside of when he comes by to talk to her parents sometimes. "No? He's not my husband yet anyway."

She's overheard him a couple times asking her father to find her a different husband, saying that he'll be bodyguard forever if only he doesn't have to marry her.

It hurts that Kakashi thinks she's a demon too. She'd always thought he was really cool and had thought it was nice that she'd have a nice, cool husband when she was older.

But she doesn't think she wants to marry someone who hates her.

~

The Uchihas aren't always nice to her, but Mikoto always is, coming over to her house to talk to her mother and dragging her sons with her, or keeping her door open to Naruto whenever she comes knocking.

Itachi stops coming early on, promoted quickly and no time to tag along to his mother's house visits. Sasuke is there and he scows and pouts but can be efficiently bullied into helping her get into whatever trouble she's decided is most worth her attention that day, so he's pretty all right, for a boy.

Naruto has to pay a lot of really close attention to people, because she never knows if they're going to be nice and mean, and the Uchihas aren't like the Yamanakas. Their reactions differ, so she has to pay attention.

Something is wrong.

Her mother doesn't believe her.

Her father doesn't listen.

She goes to Kakashi out of desperation. She tries to avoid him as much as she can, but he's the one person who might be able to convince her father that something is wrong.

"Ah, Naruto-hime, what can I do for you?" he asks, tone respectful. When she was younger, she liked that nickname. Now she knows that he's mocking her.

"Something is wrong with the Uchiha and you need to get my father to do something about it," she says.

His face is hidden by his stupid mask but she can tell he's frowning. "Why would you-"

She cuts him off, wanting this conversation to be as short as possible. He doesn't believe her either - shocker - but he agrees to look into because it's the quickest way to end the conversation.

Danzo is quietly, secretly, executed for treason. Madara Uchiha is listed as an active S class missing Konoha nin.

There are lots of talks about what, exactly, to do about the Uchihas, on how to handle their almost betrayal. Considering the outside manipulation, her father is inclined to ignore it, but something has to be done. Symbolically, if nothing else.

"If they feel excluded, then do something to make them feel included," Naruto says, nine years old and exhausted from the years of tension between the Uchihas and - well, everyone. Sasuke is so worried about his reputation that it takes ages to get him to do anything fun. It's almost quicker to get Shikamaru involved, which is saying something. "Do something no one else can question."

"Itachi or Sasuke?" her father asks, head bent over his paperwork.

She doesn't know what he's talking about. "For what?"

"Which do you prefer?" he asks.

"Sasuke?" she says, because Itachi is always very nice to her, especially after she helped prevent him from becoming a mass murderer, but he's never once helped her prank Iruka-sensei.

He nods and says nothing more and she rolls her eyes and goes to find something to do. Kiba has started training with Akamaru and she bets she can totally derail that without getting yelled at by Tsume.

A week later Sasuke climbs into her window and hisses furiously, "We're getting married?"

Huh.

Well, it looks like Kakashi got what he wanted.

She decided a long time ago she didn't want to marry him, and Sasuke is her friend, so this is fine. It's better.

Sasuke pats her shoulder and doesn't even yell at her when she ruins his shirt with tears.

He's already a better husband than Kakashi could ever be.

~

Minato is dreading today. Enrolling Naruto into the Academy had seemed like the right thing to do seven years ago, because what would people say about a hokage who didn't, but now that it's Graduation Day and he's going to have to deal with the gossip around the Hokage's daughter failing to even become a genin.

Iruka comes to drop off the team assignments and he does a double take when looking through them. "She passed?"

The chunin blinks and then asks, "Who, Hokage-sama? Haruno Sakura? It's rare for a civilian child, but her academic scores are quite high, even if her physical is lacking. She has a lot of potential."

He waves a dismissive hand. "No. My daughter."

The silence turns frigid and when he looks up it's too Iruka outright glaring at him. He's so taken aback that he can't even reprimand him for it. Iruka swallows, visibly forcing his face into less mutinous expression, and says, "Naruto is Top Kunoichi. That's why she's on the same team as Sasuke, who's Rookie of the Year, even though I was hesitant on putting them together when they already work so well together. They could use variety. Sakura is Dead Last, but only because of her physical skills. With the right teacher, she'll shape up quickly."

"Top Kunoichi," he repeats dubiously. "I've seen her test scores."

"Not since I took over her class, apparently," he says, and that tone should get him in trouble, but Minato doesn't care about that now. "Her previous instructor was ... biased. Under fair instruction, she excels."

She can't excel. She's handicapped, and it's his fault, not hers, but that doesn't change what she's capable of. "That's not possible."

Iruka's eyes narrow. "She's passed my tests. Now it's up to her jounin sensei."

Assigning someone with no biases is impossible, but he can at least assign someone who's never matched the shinobi art of lying about things they don't care about.

~

Naruto hopes this is a nightmare. Sasuke is pinching the bridge of his nose and not looking at any of them.

"Um," Sakura says hesitantly, "nice to meet you, Tsume-sensei."

She scowls at all of them. "I hope you fail. I have a clan to run! I don't have time to deal with untrained, undisciplined puppies!"

They probably shouldn't have broken into the Inuzuka compound so many times. Tsume has plenty of reasons to make their lives miserable. Or, well, hers and Sasuke's. Sakura's never done anything to her.

At least it's not Kakashi.

[komihoyinsblog]

Let's talk a bit about a fact that was given exactly zero attention in canon(at least as far as I remember it). Correct me @r--kt if I'm wrong. How was it for Minato to find out that his dead apprentice had started the worst war ever and sent Kyuubi to walk around the village, destroying a huge part of it and killing a lot of shinobi? And then did it again 15 years later, but with Nagato? What was it like for Minato to find out that his apprentice killed him, his wife and almost killed his newborn child (threatened with kunai, explosive seals and so on)? How was it for Minato to know that his apprentice chose to go to Madara willingly, to choose all these crazy plans, even though he still had people who loved him and could wait, happy for his return? What was it like for Minato to find out that from the looks of it, all those years together had meant little to Obito? That his apprentice didn't work for the good of the village, but went to another village and set up a bloody dictatorship? That he was ready to kill his sensei's son again? That he deliberately cultivated hatred in the village for his clan and then killed everyone?

I honestly feel like we don't talk much about Minato's(and Kushina's) feelings about Obito's betrayal. Yes, they can be kind and understanding. Yes, Minato can still keep Kakashi from killing Obito. But. Minato prevents Kakashi from killing his teammate. But what about the man who didn't give Minato and Kushina a chance to live and see their son grow up? Who condemned their son to an admittedly horrible existence in the village? Konoha hated Naruto and it was Obito's fault. It's really just the horrible side of the situation that Kishimoto chose to hide under the rug. The overpowering feeling of betrayal. Yes, we can see Kakashi's feelings, but how does Minato feel then???? Obito ruined not only his life, but also his dream. Minato was Hokage for how long? Six months? A year??? That's fucked up.

I think the only thing Minato could be thankful for is Obito not touching Kakashi. Though that's a very questionable gratitude too, huh. Yeah, Kakashi survived, but what about his morale? Obito is clearly responsible for some of Kakashi's mental problems.

The whole thing is a big, huge mess. Yes, Obito was manipulated and brainwashed a bit, but he still did it. And I still think that some part of what Obito did he didn't regret until the very end.

I wonder how many times Minato thought after the resurrection that he never should have taken on more students in addition to Kakashi? That he should have just trained Kakashi and that was it? That the world should never have seen Minato's team? That Kakashi, Obito, and Rin should never have been on the same team? Very good questions. Minato would clearly regret something, except what exactly? What would he have changed in the past? Probably never would have let Kakashi and Obito meet, but that's just my thoughts.
