i remember kakashi being a jerk growing up and y/n was probably one too so their kids inherit all of their bad traits. kinda like a you reap what u sow scenario and pakun is sooo tired
hey there friend, thanks for this request.  i hope you enjoy this short fic.  <3
Title:  What You Sow (AO3 Link Here) Summary:  You and Kakashi have two children... and in some ways, they’re more like their parents than you’d hoped. Word Count:  505 Summary:  fem!reader, family feels, children, parenthood, dad!kashi .
”These pups will be the death of me,” Pakkun grumbled, one eye lazily open as he watched the two young menaces race through the yard, chasing one another with sticks and rubber shuriken.
“They can’t be all bad,” you said, watching them carefully and redirecting their energy when necessary to avoid any injuries.
Sakura would not be pleased if you had to bring one or both of them to the hospital for healing again so soon after she set a fractured wrist only last week.
The pug just huffed. “I thought Kakashi was terrible when he was young, but these two are far worse.”
You turned to give Pakkun an affectionate scratch behind the ears. “I suppose that’s my fault,” you said, grinning when he opened both eyes to look at you inquisitively, “I was quite the terror myself when I was young.”
It was something you and Kakashi had talked about before; that your young children were certainly a comeuppance of sorts for all the hell you each wreaked when you were their age.  You grimaced as you recalled all the trouble you got yourself into and how many bones you broke recklessly climbing trees or picking fights with your classmates.
When your youngest turned two, nearly tripling the noise and ruckus in your household overnight, you had almost immediately gone to your parents’ to apologize for being an absolute nightmare child.  Kakashi had summoned Pakkun and made him a special meal, spent hours scratching his belly afterward.
“What’s this for?” Pakkun asked, always skeptical.
“No reason,” Kakashi insisted at the time.
But now Pakkun huffed, apparently realizing the apology treat for what it was.  You reached out and scratched him behind his ears affectionately, noting with a sigh that the fur around his muzzle was distinctly more grey than when you’d met him.
Pakkun was growing old and sometimes you wondered how much time he had left, how long before Kakashi would have to say goodbye to yet another important parental figure.   At least this time he would have you and your children to support him; to love him in Pakkun's eventual absence.
“Thank you,” Pakkun said, settling back down and closing his eyes as your children spun around together and then fell the ground, giggling.
“What for?  Birthing demons?”
But Pakkun ignored your joke and continued seriously, “For giving him a family.  It’s something I think he’s always needed.”
"You're his family too, you know."
Pakkun made a grumbling sound, something you knew he did when he was trying not to let his emotions get the better of him.
And even though only a few short minutes later, you had to scramble across the yard to break up a fight over a plastic kunai, your heart swelled.  Because even if your children often tested your patience and wrought chaos everywhere they went, you knew you wouldn't have it any other way.
Pakkun huffed irritably as you sat beside him, practice kunai safely in hand, but you knew he felt the same.

THE KAGES AND THEIR GREEN BEASTS
But a modern day AU take with the whole family and the ninken! Ningame is chilling at home, thank you very much. :) This thing took much longer to sketch and color than I anticipated. Hahhhh hahahaha.
Headcanons and easter eggs after the cut
RasaDai: Is it crack? Yes. Is it impossible? Yes, yes, they’re both dead. Do I still ship them? HELL YES. My old old man yaoi (crack) rarepair. Rasa inherits the nearly bankrupt firm from his deceased bastard of a father, and had to devote his whole life to work. He loses Karura after she gives birth to Gaara, and now he’s a single dad whose grown up kids hate his guts. Can this old man still find love with an older DILF? Except he’s definitely not going to wear that green tracksuit. (also that’s Suna designer wear on Rasa and Pakkun’s carrier)
KakaGai: These boys. These men. Husbands, rivals, friends, eternal loves. Kakashi with his jorts and baby pink crocs 😂 (thanks @urieskooki for the color pick) with ANBU gibbets. Gai with Daytime Tiger-inspired shoes! I love having Bisuke perching on Gai and adopting his sparkles ✨. Kakashi giving Gai the ‘I’m pinning you down later’ look. Also, if you really want to know what Kakashi’s reading, check the tags. ;)
GaaLee: My loves, my babies 🥰 Okay I gave Gaara his Shippuden pants bands and his shoes are gourd inspired. He’s excited to finally get to hold a puppy and promptly carries the meanest-looking one (Urushi, surprised, gives a tentative tail wag). In the meantime, Lee has their snacks and drinks ready ❤️ The man is smitten with Gaara. He is composing love songs for him as we speak. He’s also rocking dragon-print kicks (I used my own dragon design from the CNY card).
The Ninken: Ok some headcanons. All the dogs were adopted by Kakashi, except for Pakkun who was his dad’s pet before he died. Pakkun prefers to ride in his carrier than to walk in his older years. Akino, being partially blind, sticks close to his emotional support dog (Pakkun). Shiba is giving puppy eyes to Rasa in case he can get pets. Guruko being a naughty baby running between people’s legs. Bull is just chilling with his new collar—Kakashi replaced the spikes with pompoms for comfort. Uhei likes Lee best and stays close to him.
This image wouldn’t have been completed without encouragement and feedback from @egregiousderp @bayheart @urieskooki Glugchat and the good people who enable me at the KakaGai discord. Mwah love you all.

How would chiha's relationship with everyone be if it were the ninja world
I’ll just do the Konoha 12, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Gaara, and Iruka since those are some of the important people in Naruto’s life. We’ll just say they’re twins for the sake of not stretching out the timeline for her birth
Tumblr media
Naruto - they get along great, but argue they argue like most siblings do over personal possessions and home decor. Naruto will also go and fetch her for free ramen when it’s offered. She wouldn’t know how to feel about his hokage dreams (if they were truly possible), but she would support him
Jiraiya - Gives her the ick. Like she gets that he’s a sannin and a sage.. But he’s a pervert. And he took her brother away for two years. Two thumbs down
Kakashi - She would probably ask him more questions than he’d be willing to answer. he’s so cool, but he’s also kinda weird (cause who just reads icha icha in public??)
Iruka - cool teacher. She’d like him for saving Naruto and looking out for them, and view him like their older brother
Sasuke - Doesn’t really know him, but he concerns her and she’s not sure why he and Naruto can’t just get along. THEY’RE TEAMMATES
Sakura - she gets along really well with Sakura, even if it’s in an annoying little sister way, and giggles over some crushes. She doesn’t get Sakura’s crush though, especially when they could become sisters if Sakura-Chan gave her brother a chance
Shikamaru - thinks he’s a smartass and Pakkun should’ve but him harder. They don’t get along, but he is kinda cute when he’s cloud watching and she will never admit that. Especially to him.
Choji - she likes Choji because he’s sweet and polite. Also gave her her first hug for giving him her bag of chips he apparently really liked. They’re good friends!
Ino - she wants Ino’s hair andeyes. Life’s not fair, but at least Ino is nice to her! They share village gossip and fashion tips.
Hinata - they know each other and Chiha thinks it’s funny to act like Naruto is there when he isn’t just to see that hard blush. Overall she thinks Hinata is alright, but needs to put some might in her words
Kiba - she told him she liked cats and dogs equally and they have not gotten along since
Shino - she forgets he exists frequently but doesn’t have an issue with him. In fact, he got her a roach to release in Iruka’s house once as a prank that went terribly wrong
Lee - his enthusiasm is funny to her and they get along well. She would probably make the mistake of challenging him to a exercise contest of some sort and never do that again
Tenten - now this would be her best friend. All the ghost stories and weapons to be had, plus some funny tales of how it is to work with Gai Sensei, Lee, and Neji
Neji - they wouldn’t get along simply because of their personality differences. No hard feelings though; he just wouldn’t want to entertain her hyper moments and she doesn’t enjoy getting angry glares for being silly.
Gaara - PANDA BOY! Not saying she would make him be her pen pal, but she would be very fascinated by him, who is a jinchuriki like her brother, and his sand. So once he’s made kage, she would send him a congratulations letter along with an origami gourd with glitter in it

Day 9: Chosen at first sight
@flufftober
Pakkun took his sweet time to notify Kakashi. He had already started to think that Pakkun wouldn’t show up at all when he finally heard the familiar scratching at his door. With a sigh, Kakashi got up and walked towards the door, opening it in a swift movement. He looked down and as expected, Pakkun sat on his hindlegs and gave him his typical displeased look. He ostentatiously and very slowly lifted his paw and licked it, all the while holding Kakashi’s gaze. Kakashi waited until it became clear that Pakkun wouldn’t speak up, then he asked, “Did you gather all available candidates?”
Pakkun gave his paw another pointed lick before he replied in a disapproving tone, “So you’re not going to even ask me inside?”
Kakashi stifled another sigh and crouched down so that he was at least a bit closer to his ninken. “I’m sorry, Pakkun. Would you like to come inside?”
Kakashi could’ve sworn that he saw a frown on Pakkun’s face when the dog replied, “So that you can waste even more time? No, thank you. Get moving, we’ve got a job to do.”
Something in his ninken’s small face told Kakashi to better not protest and so he did what Pakkun asked from him and followed the dog outside. He couldn’t help but notice that Pakkun was even grumpier and terser than usually. He had known that Pakkun was not happy with his decision and even less pleased with the fact that he had been outvoted by the other ninken but he didn’t expect him to hold this much of a grudge. And somehow, he had a soft spot for Pakkun and couldn’t just ignore his ninken’s feelings.
“How long are you going to be angry with me, Pakkun?” he asked while he followed the dog along the streets of Konoha.
Pakkun paused for a moment but didn’t look at Kakashi. “I am not angry with you, boy,” Pakkun growled.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow even though Pakkun couldn’t see it. “It sure seems like it,” he said.
This time, Pakkun came to a halt. He sat down on a fence post, almost the same height as Kakashi’s chest which was an improvement at least. The dog gave him a long look before he sighed himself – which was rather adorable, considering Pakkun’s pug-like appearance – and finally revealed what was bothering him. “What if the new guy won’t be a good fit? You won’t be the one doing most of the training, I’ll be the one stuck with it.”
Kakashi couldn’t help but smile in relief. “How about we choose the new teammate together?”
Pakkun’s ears perked up and suddenly, his eyes took on a hopeful look. “Are you for real?” he asked, his tail slowly starting to wag.
Kakashi nodded and felt his tension fade away when Pakkun’s face went from grumpy to almost cheerful. “Now that’s way better, boy!” Pakkun barked excitedly.
When he set himself into motion again, his movements were way more vigorous and Kakashi almost had to run to keep up with him.
After another ten minutes of brisk walking, they finally reached the remote training ground that Pakkun had chosen for the presentation of the candidates. Even though Kakashi didn’t consider himself to be overly delightful, he couldn’t help but mutter a small “Aww!” to himself when he saw the half dozen of puppies playing in the grass around an old, dignified ninken. He started smiling almost without noticing when they walked towards the older ninken. Pakkun didn’t seem to take notice of the puppies but Kakashi couldn’t help but notice their big dark eyes and the tiny pink tongues that stuck out while they were tussling in the grass.
When they reached the other ninken, Kakashi bowed respectfully. The dog replied with a graceful nod before he spoke up. “These are the candidates we would like to present,” he said in a raspy voice. “Please take a careful look at them before you make your decision.”
Kakashi nodded and after Pakkun and the other ninken had exchanged a couple barks, they both walked towards the pack of puppies. All of them were of different shapes and colors, big, small, light and dark fur, one had big spots and another had pointy ears that perked up when Kakashi and Pakkun came closer. While the puppies did seem somewhat interested in the newcomers, they didn’t stop playing with each other until Pakkun exhorted them with a bark. One after another came toddling towards Kakashi and Pakkun, each giving them a good sniff before they sat down in a rather chaotic line in front of them. The older ninken came closer and started presenting the puppies to them, mentioning their names and the personalities they started to show as they grew older.
Kakashi wasn’t entirely sure at what point in their life a ninken puppy started to take on the traits and abilities that made them a suitable companion for a shinobi. Pakkun had already warned him that those puppies would be too young to speak yet, at least in a way that Kakashi would understand. This was also one of the things that Kakashi’s other ninken would have to teach the new puppy. However, Kakashi could already see the wit glisten in their dark eyes when the puppies examined him. Choosing a ninken was usually a delicate process in which not only the shinobi had to make a decision, but also his other companions and especially the new puppy itself. After all, they would form a bond for a whole life span.
Kakashi let his eye wander over the puppies. All of them were more than adorable and they even showed their potential by sitting mostly still, obeying the older ninken’s orders. But while examining the puppies, something caught Kakashi’s eye. A bit behind them, the grass rustled even though it was a windless day. He exchanged a look with Pakkun who also curiously gazed at the moving patches of grass. Suddenly, the tip of a black tail appeared between the blades of grass, slowly moving closer as if something – or rather a little someone – was steadily creeping closer towards them. The other puppies did not seem to notice the threat closing in on them but Kakashi couldn’t keep his eye of the small tail which now started wagging excitedly. And just as he was about to say something, something jumped out of grass and into the line of puppies, sending them tumbling to both sides. Wild barking ensued when the startled puppies faced their attacker. It stood five against one but the small black puppy fiercely stood its ground, digging its little white paws into the ground. It bared its tiny teeth and growled, all the while still wagging his tail. And before the older ninken had a chance to get things in line, all of the puppies started chasing each other around again. The ninken let out a massive sigh and barked at them. The black puppy ducked its head and ruefully put its tail between its stubby legs. But in its dark eyes, Kakashi could see a hint of mischief.
Kakashi glanced at Pakkun and once he saw his amused look, he gave him a nod. Pakkun returned the nod, letting his tongue hang out in a rather gleeful manner. Kakashi sat down and ignored the stern look the older ninken gave him. The black puppy gave him a keen look and before the older ninken even allowed him to, it slowly toddled towards Kakashi, its nose wiggling curiously. Kakashi held out his hand and the puppy cautiously sniffed at it – and before Kakashi had the chance to react, the puppy gave his fingers a big lick and started wagging its tail cheerfully.
Kakashi started smiling and when the puppy askingly nudged his hand with its small head, he instantly started petting it. “Who is this?” he asked the ninken who eyed them with a whimsical look in his eyes.
“Her name is Kiyo. She’s the youngest of the bunch but she does show early signs of fierceness and perseverance,” the ninken said reluctantly. And while the puppy stared at Kakashi with its big, dark eyes, he added more softly. “She’s a kind spirit.”
Kakashi gave Pakkun one last glance to assure himself that his ninken had also made his decision and when Pakkun gave him an approving smile, he gave the puppy a solemn look. It did seem to notice that something grand was happening and it sat down in front of him, eyeing him patiently. Its little white paws shuffled slightly as if excited for what Kakashi was about to say.
Kakashi nodded to himself and gave the puppy a soft smile. “Would you like to be a part of our team, Kiyo?”
The puppy seemed to consider his question. It tilted its head thoughtfully and blinked two times. And then, Kiyo started wagging her tail excitedly. With a big hop, she jumped into Kakashi’s lap and started licking his fingers enthusiastically.
Pakkun grinned at Kakashi and came closer, sniffing Kiyo curiously. “Welcome to the team, little one,” he growled proudly.

Okay but Sakura having Kakashi's ninkens as summon is such a amazing idea! Could you make more hc/plot points about it??
Sakura would be so hesitent at first because she can’t really think of a reason they would be a good match for her, but Kakashi convinces her to give it a try. He’ll summon them and she’ll work with them and see if there’s a bond
There is
Sakura works so well with the hounds. They may not be genjutsu focused but they bond well with her earth nature (when Kakashi uses jutsu’s that include the hounds they’re earth style) and they’re fiercly loyal and protective
She decides after two hours that they’re the perfect summons for her
Now i have this headcannon that every hound summoner gets their own hound. One that no other summoner before them has. For Kakashi that’s Pakkun. Sakumo had Akino, etc. Sakura tries out the summon for the first time and instead of one of the eight dogs she knows really well she is greeted with a Sakhalin Husky.
A big dog ready to go and so excited to introduce itself to her. It’s delightful, she loves it. As such, she actually doesn’t get access to Pakkun who has only ever been Kakashi’s hound and would prefer for it to stay that way, but she does get the other seven hounds alongside her new cutie.
Her and her husky bond extremely well. The both of them are very hard headed and brash but incredibly smart. It doesn’t take them long at all to figure out how to work together and Kakashi is watching the entire process like a damn proud Sensei.
Training with the hounds also helps Sakura improve her speed a lot because they are fast buggers and they do not go easy on her at all. Kakashi gives her a training excersis to catch one during one of their first session’s without the boys and this poor girl ends up face first in the dirt with aero captured hounds. It’s pathetic but she’s determined to get better and rectify this situation as soon as she can move again.
She loves to tease Pakkun whenever she see’s him. Bugs him about not thinking she’s good enough for her, and then as she gets to know him and understand his bond with Kakashi she begins teasing him for being a sucker for her weirdo of a Sensei.
During the Kazekage rescue arc it’s Sakura who summons the hounds to track Sasori and Naruto just about falls over when she does it. He was not expecting her to have gotten a summon, let alone their Sensei’s summon. It feels a bit like favoritism but he’s not complaining (much)
Her new dog also works with her to learn new Jutsu’s that she can use with the hounds, teaching her how to summon them to track an enemy using their blood (as Kakashi does using his own blood to track down Zabuza). She even learns the technique Kakashi used on Sasuke in the first bell test to bury him under ground, from her hound. She tries to use it against Kakashi but he avoids her and the humiliation. Her first successful use of that move is against sasori and he’s SO MAD about it but the hounds are damn proud

📓📓📓!! <3333
Put "📓" or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I'll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven't written but daydream about.
ok right the ever so brainrotting sharingan cult arc of my AU. im gonna try to keep this short because i could rant about it for ages and nobody cares ok.
essentially, Ko, who is ofc a spy, gives information to this cult of weirdo people who want the sharingan, at best the mangekyou, at very very best the sweet rinnegan version.s he tells them there are 3 uchiha grown up alive in the village, one has no eyes, one has the mangekyou and one is the sweet rinnegan boy. what these dudes to with that information is no concert to her.
so they decide: how can we get these adults to come fight us? thats right, we attack their children. and so 3 attacks happen at the same time. ren and takeshi uchiha (sasukes twin boys, both 2 1/2) get attacked in a forest (in which tehy shouldnt have been, but takeshi was adventurous and ren followed). takeshi gets injured greatly, but sasuke swoops in to save his sons(and kill the person responsible). (@queen-tabris) shisui (about 4) gets attackedw hile in the uchiha clan house while his mother is having a nap with his sister (about 2) which draw itachi out, and tho itachi has no eyes he like gets rid of the guy pretty much instantly (@uchiharomance). lastly there is obito, kakashis son, who is alone at home because his father is working and his mother is on mission and his sister is in school. he is 5. he has no way to defend himself until naruto comes in and whoosh saves him.
naruto brings obito to kakashi. there they all meet (Sasuke is there and itachi is there, all talk about what happened.) they realise that the only common denominator is that they are uchiha born children. tho its strange to them how intruders could even make it intot he village (hello ko). kakashi calls saya (anbu fox) and tells her to go out and get sayuri from her mission RIGHT AWAY.
unfortunately sayuri is already by then in deep shit, being completely surrounded by wayy to many enemies for her to handle alone.. so when saya finds her she is locked up somewhere and dying. Saya sends pakkun (Who is with her) and kakashi comes (tho tenzo says its better if he wasnt gonna go in case something is very wrong). either way kakashi is hokage and he does not care so he goes. when they arrive tenzo tells him that it would be good to keep one person alive to question them and kakashi is like yea yea
but then he throws like one look at sayuri and she is dying for real and he kind of forgets about that?? well sayuri uses her last strength to blink away from her captors and into kakahis arms and he scolds her that he told her not to use the mangekyou anymore because she could go blind. she cant even say anything in reply she just passes out. ANYWAY he kills them all. of course
at home its like security is doubled and sayuri is in the hospital for a long long time after that. it does not seem to pop up again but the issue is, how did they even manage to get into the village in the first place?
...... anyway i think a lot about that fic that i will never write.

anytime we take my dog anywhere we get all sorts of “oh can i pet her?” comments but the look that kakashi would have if some random civilian was like “what a cute puppy! can i pet him? awww what a good boy! what your name?” and pakkuns pug face is somehow even more exasperated and tired and grumpy than pugs normally are and his dignity is in shambles and this isnt even a kid, a fully grown human just used baby voice to him but he responds “my name is pakkun, please dont touch my head” and kakashi in the back half horrified half gleeful about how funny this is and 100% grateful his mask is hiding most of his expression
People really do just think all dogs are fine to approach and it’s simply not the case. I’m also not fond of dog owners that let their dogs off the lead and don’t recall them when they bound up to other dogs that are on the lead or children and say things like “oh don’t worry, they’re friendly.” Yeah I’m very sure they are friendly but maybe this child is scared of dogs? Maybe my dog isn’t friendly with other dogs? Grrr.
As for Pakkun and Kakashi… this is a very funny scenario and one I’m sure has happened on many occasions. Poor Pakkun, he’s such a cute pup and I really love him a lot but I’d definitely treat him with respect. I won’t lie… I’d maybe do some baby talk more to be silly and tease him and I’m sure I’d get told off from Kakashi but it’d be fun and worth it.

Do you like cats? I have this little imagine: Kakashi who finds a little stray kitten and it's eventually raised with the ninkens, being the part of the pack. How do you think Kakashi would name the kitten? Imagine Bull being big and all soft, letting it sleep under his chin, and Pakkun being all grumpy!
And the moment the kitten discovers its little deadly claws! :D
hello. remember i said i received a bunch of very nice asks the other day? well, this was one of them and here is a silly little fic inspired by it. thank you to my anonymous friend(s) recruited by an "anonymous" friend to be kind to me. <3
Title: Cats & Dogs  (AO3 Link Here) Summary: Kakashi brings home a stray and Pakkun is less than thrilled. Word Count: 905 Warnings: none, this be fluff. .
Pakkun is furious.
He's trying to sit still and play it cool, but the soft tap-tap-tap of his front claws against the linoleum is a dead giveaway that he's upset.
"Something on your mind, Pakkun?" Kakashi asks.
The pug huffs, the flaps of skin around his mouth fluttering out as he does so. Then he shakes his head, velvety ears flapping against the metal plate emblazoned with Konoha's leaf insignia on his forehead.
"Not a thing, Boss."
Pakkun is a terrible liar and they both know it, but Kakashi doesn't press, just smirks beneath his mask as he turns the page of his book. "If you say so."
Pakkun grunts, scrunching up his already scrunched face as he watches Kakashi continue reading.
Lying on the couch.
With that thing on his chest.
It's... purring or whatever, the vibration of it like a foghorn in Pakkun's ears; loud and obtrusive. Obnoxious.
Pakkun huffs again, turning himself in a circle until he finds a comfortable spot and plunks down, back purposefully to the couch and face pillowed on his crossed front paws.
If Kakashi is going to insist on keeping the stupid stray, then Pakkun is going to insist on being petulant about it. When he'd brought the thing home originally, all drenched from the rain and scrawny, looking equal parts pathetic and manic, Pakkun assumed it was just a passing fancy. Kakashi once again proving his endless amounts of empathy, despite insisting he had none.
But it had been almost two weeks, now, and the thing is still living in Kakashi's apartment. Every time he summons Pakkun or the rest of the pack, there it is... sunning itself in the window, licking its paws clean after a meal, chasing after some tinfoil ball like an idiot.
It had even taken to tucking itself under Bull's chin when the big dog napped and Bull seems to enjoy it.
In fact, the whole rest of the pack appears strangely okay with their new addition. Pakkun, however, remains steadfastly against the idea of adding a feline to their ranks.
Send the mangy creature to the abandoned Uchiha complex and be done with it. As far as Pakkun is concerned, any cat that can't survive on its own in the wild is hardly a cat, anyway.
What were those terrifyingly sharp claws for if not catching food? Instead, the ball of fur currently perching on Kakashi's chest—in Pakkun's spot, no less—receives cans of tuna and specially-made beef something-or-other that makes Pakkun salivate, but he isn't allowed to touch.
Since when were treats not shared equally?! Kakashi had always made sure every member of the pack received identical rewards for their hard work.
Okay, so maybe occasionally Pakkun might get a few extra head scratches or sleep at home with him, but that's because Pakkun had known Kakashi since he was only a pup—they were beholden to a summoning contract Kakashi had signed as a genin, they were bound together... for life.
The cat can't even be summoned! It can't talk, it can't track. All it can do is chase tinfoil balls and scratch up the furniture and hiss at Pakkun when he comes too close to its food dish.
Pakkun's ears perk up when he hears the thing's paws hit the floor. It must be slinking away to its delicious-smelling food dish, he assumes, exhaling loudly through his nose.
"Pakkun."
His instinct is to stand and turn toward Kakashi immediately, but Pakkun resists. Though, he can't stop the instinctive wagging of his short, curled tail when he hears his name uttered so affectionately in Kakashi's familiar voice, no matter how hard he tries.
"Yeah, Boss."
He hears the book close, a soft sigh.
"Can you come here, please?"
Pakkun wishes he could roll his eyes, but that is a trait reserved only for his human companion. Instead, he makes a grand show of getting up, stretching and yawning as if it is a supreme inconvenience to be asked to move from his spot on the floor even though he wants nothing more than to relocate to the couch with his summoner.
When he finally turns, Kakashi is looking at him with a knowing smirk on his face and Pakkun gives up the act, dropping his head in shame the moment their eyes meet.
"Sorry, Boss," he grumbles, padding his way over to the couch. A quick peek to his left proves he was right, the cat's nibbling at something in its bowl.
Kakashi just chuckles. "It's okay," he says, as he helps Pakkun up onto the couch so the pug can settle—finally—against his chest.
His shirt smells like the stupid cat and Pakkun wrinkles his nose.
Kakashi pets his ears soothingly. "I'm sorry I've been ignoring you," he says, "I just want to make sure Inu feels at home here before I have to leave for my next mission."
Pakkun's ears perk up. "You named the cat... Inu?" he asks.
Kakashi smiles, baring his teeth in a mischievous expression Pakkun has known for more than two decades.
"I did," he says, sliding a treat out of his pocket and handing it to Pakkun, who chews greedily while Kakashi continues to pet him.
Pakkun's tail wags furiously in response.
If Kakashi has decided to call the cat "dog," then maybe there is some hope for the pack's new addition after all.

Naruto (Part 1 - Team 7)
Man, I’ve got strong opinions on some of these *cough* Kakashi *cough*, but some of the others I’m flexible about. It depends on the story you’re telling with the character. These are the ones I have for the canon/near canon of the Naruto show itself (incl. Shippuden, but not Boruto). Here goes... something:
Naruto Uzumaki gives off so much bi energy, with the way he falls hard for both Sakura and later Sasuke as well. He’s a cis boy who uses he/him pronouns, and wouldn’t realise you were talking about him if you used any others. He’s biromantic and demisexual (asexual until he has a deeper emotional connection with someone). He’s also definitely an ADHD kid, and would have been diagnosed rather quickly if he’d tried at any point. His mind jumps from topic to topic, and can’t concentrate on anything if he’s not hyperfixated on it at the moment.
Sasuke Uchiha is very much gay. He is so gay, extremely gay. The gayest. At no point does he show any kind of attraction towards Sakura, or any other woman, but Naruto on the other hand. It’s obvious that he cares, but he doesn’t want to care. He’s probably demiromantic and demisexual, since it took him having an emotional connection with Naruto before he actually fell for him. He’s a cis man who uses he/they pronouns, not really caring which people use more. There is a chance he is autistic or OCD, given his obsessiveness in hunting down Itachi, but I haven’t thought about that one enough to really be sure in any way.
Sakura Haruno is probably bi, with a preference towards men. She seems to be greyromantic bisexual, and fell for Sasuke immediately. It took her a while longer to fall for Naruto, and she didn’t realise that what she felt for Ino was a crush until they were already very close. She could be read as either cis or trans, but honestly I see her as a cis woman most of the time. Definitely she/her pronouns and would get angry at anyone who got it wrong (which probably wouldn’t happen unless she was trans).
Kakashi Hatake. Oh boi do I have a lot to say about Kakashi. He’s my favourite character in the whole show, and the only reason I kept watching in the first place, so there’s definitely some projecting going on here. First and foremost, Kakashi is aromantic and asexual. At no point in the show has he shown romantic or sexual interest in anyone. By the end of it they are one of the few people who doesn’t have a love interest whatsoever, and that is perfect for them. They’re a good example of the fact that aroace people can still enjoy sexual media, although I’m quite certain he reads Icha-Icha for the plot (why else would spoilers bother them so much?). Next up, gender~ Kakashi is transmasc (afab) and bigender, fluctuating between male and agender. They use he/they pronouns, although which they prefer over the other fluctuates between the two depending on which of them he’s feeling at the moment. Kakashi being transmasc is barely disproven by canon (only two filler episodes show him shirtless, other than that he is always wearing his ��binder’) and some moments definitely feel like they’re feeding the headcanon. Kakashi is autistic. He isn’t good at social interactions, and he’s bad at showing his emotions correctly. The mask is likely to block smells so he doesn’t get overstimulated as easily. Their extremely quick progression through the ranks shows that their special interests are likely fighting-based. A lot of autistic people hold rules in extremely high regard, as we see young Kakashi doing. Him joining the ANBU was likely a way to find strict routine, and it’s once again evident that he’s extremely dedicated to it. Once he found the Icha Icha series, that became one of his special interests. Later we can see that he’s always late, because his routine of visiting the memorial stone is extremely important to him. Also his dogs! They’re his comfort animals, and Pakkun especially seems like he knows how to calm him down when he’s stressed. It’s quite probable that Kakashi is ADHD as well. Their mind works fast, but they often seem to get distracted by their own thoughts, and unless there’s a fight or something going on he always seems to be lost in thought (or Icha-Icha, if he’s reading).
As you can see, long post. I had a lot to say and now I’ve said it, thank you for reading if you bothered at all!

九つの命/9 Lives Translation
Hi!! So, @foxy-and-tales asked me to tell her what was going on in the comic mentioned in this post. After skimming through it, I thought it'd be good practice - and it'd be easier to answer her question - if I just went through it and told her what it all meant. I realised by that point I was doing a translation, and since I was going to the trouble anyway, I thought I'd post it publicly.
So, the full comic is here. It's basically a comic that has 7 little stories about Kakashi's ninja hounds and their lives with Kakashi. It's an adorable, heartfelt story and I absolutely love the personalities that the artist gave all the ninja hounds and the depictions of their relationships with Kakashi.
My translation will be this post, follow it as a script. I don't have the skill or knowledge to edit and typeset and change the images myself - and I wouldn't do that anyway, as it would involve reposting the art and changing it without the artist's consent. But I do think that not referring to the pictures as you're reading through the script really harms how sweet this story is, so if you can go through the comic slowly whilst referring to my (amateur) translation of it, I hope you can get a glimpse of that!
WARNINGS: There is a depiction of an already dead dog in part 4 😢, and some (human!) male partial nudity in part 6 (😉)
Tagging: @scaredlittlefoxy @lemony-snickers @backalleykat @whatshernameis @gwedosuns @topsyturvy-dream @ice-icebaby @cosmiclattes
This is also the artist’s note that follows after the comic, that I’m putting here:
(Artist’s note translation)
"This is a story about the daily life of Kakashi and the eight ninken.
The ninja dogs’ personalities etc mightn’t be faithful to the source material.
The dogs live free range in Kakashi’s house.
There is an illustration of a dog dying, though it isn’t any of the ninken. Please take note.
You don’t have to read it, but below this are the dogs’ personalities:
Shiba: Friendly and sensitive
Biscuit: Childish and Selfish
Akino: Calm and cool demeanour
Bull: Timid and Quiet
Urushi: Ladykiller. A little bit dim. (Note: Himbo!)
Guruko: Annoyingly helpful and naggy
Uhei: Pure-hearted and cheerful
Pakkun: Same as in the series"
Some notes and then onwards into the translation under the cut:
Please take heed before continuing:
I’m not a professional translator, in fact I’ve done very little of this, so there’s some guesswork and liberties taken, and I don't claim that that there’ll be no mistakes.
I’ve separated it out by sections and pages, so you should be able to follow the story from following the speech bubbles (right to left) and referencing the lines here by speaker
Each space between a line denotes that it’s the next speech bubble
A new line but no change in speaker will denote that it’s the same character talking, but in the next panel or speech bubble
Italics means the character is thinking or flashbacks. I'll try and make this obvious as I go but the artwork should make that clear too.
Brackets are my additions, or me translating things like signs etc, or brackets will have smaller background dialogue not in speech bubbles. I'll try to make this clear as I go.
Stuff surrounded by * denotes actions or onomatopoeic actions/words in panels
Ask me if there’s any parts that confuse you about the story!! The way I’ve done this isn’t easy to follow but it's the best my dumb brain could come up with
TRANSLATION:
Title page
(p.1)
ここのつのいのち
9 Lives
(p.2)
1. ‘I won’t tell anyone’
(SFX: dogs playing and wagging tails)
Kakashi: Hm? You’re not gonna play, Shiba?
Shiba: …No. …Hey, Kakashi’
Kakashi: Hm? What?’
Shiba: There’s a girl I like’
Kakashi: Ohhh… I won’t tell anybody.
I won’t tell ~ I won’t tell ~
(p. 3)
Shiba: She’s really cute…
Kakashi: That’s great ~
Shiba: But I haven’t even spoken to her once
Kakashi: You should go for it ~
(SFX: *happy dog panting*)
Shiba: I’ll come back as soon as I’ve talked to her!’
Kakashi: Yep!
Shiba: I’ll be right back, definitely!
Kakashi: Ok, ok (lit. Yes yes)
(p.4)
Shiba: She’s already got someone (lit. she’s already in a couple/has a mate)
Kakashi: I see…
Shiba: She said her mate hurt his leg and can’t walk so he's staying at home…
(p.5)
Kakashi: Shiba, you know.. have feet that can walk anywhere…
So maybe you’ll meet an amazing girl again, won’t you?
(*dog cries*)
Kakashi: ...I won’t tell anyone. (*Comforting doggy*)
I won’t say anything. I won’t say anything.
(Kakashi: Aw, Shiba is pretty sweet to me, huh?)
2. Biscuit’s Sausage (note: I know his name is technically Bisuke in Japanese, but Biscuit is his dub name and it’s too adorable so that’s what I’m going with here! Also suits the personality he has in this story. What a biscuithead this boy is)
(p.6)
Biscuit: -You’re so sneaky, Kakashi! I wanted to eat sausages!
*crying dog noises*
(Uhei: Sorry, Kakashi…
Guruko: I told you!!)
Kakashi: You know if you eat sausages, Biscuit, your tummy will get sick, right? I’m boiling cod for you right now
(*tantrum noises, pounding feet and barking*)
Biscuit: *angry puppy noises* I hate fish, you idiot! I said I want to eat sausages! Sausages! Sausages!
Kakashi: *sternly* Biscuit
Biscuit: *whimper*
(p.7)
Biscuit: Kakashi, you IDIOT!
(2. Biscuit’s Sausage)
Biscuit: *sniff*
(Sign says Konoha Pet Food)
Biscuit: This is the store that sells the dog food Kakashi buys! Wow, maybe they have sausages here too!
(p.8)
Biscuit: I wonder if I'll be able to eat as much as I want… *gulp*
But if I did that, Kakashi would get in trouble
No, maybe…
*heart pounding*
Kakashi kept it (this) a secret just from me, because I'll get sick...
(Apron says Konoha Pet Food)
Shop Lady: *shuffles*
Biscuit: I didn't do anything yet!!! * heart pounding*
Shop Lady: Oh my… you really just talked!
Shop lady: You’re Kakashi’s pup, aren’t you?
(p.9)
Shop lady: Kakashi got you to come here, huh?
(Shop lady: you’re a good boy!)
Bisuke: Oh, no-
Shop lady: Though, he shouldn't have made you come pick it up without contacting us, huh? Here, sausages!
Biscuit: Sausages?!
Shop lady: There’s a pup among you guys that can’t have normal sausages, right?
It was a request from Kakashi.
He said he wanted me to make some especially for the puppy who can’t handle meat.
(p.10)
Shop lady: Well, here you go!! You’ll tell Kakashi we’re sorry for making him wait, won’t you?
Biscuit: Oh, um… But I don’t have any money…
Shop lady: It’s fine, because it’s Kakashi!
Whenever he has free time, he comes to pay.
I have a deal with him, you see. And he can't get the food if he's not here...
Next time, come together with Kakashi, okay?
(p. 11)
Kakashi: *casually picks up Bisuke* Thank you! This is for you ~
Shop lady: Thank you, come again!
Biscuit: Kakashi…
Kakashi: Hm?
Biscuit: Sorry…
Kakashi: Yeah…
I’m sorry too. I gave everyone else sausages while keeping it a secret from you.
I thought you’d definitely want some if you saw…
(Kakashi: But I got caught.)
(p. 12)
Kakashi: But…. Everyone’ll want some if they see this, too.
How about stopping by the park and eating it there?
We’ll keep it a secret from everyone 😊
Bisuke: *happy face licking and barking* When we get home, I’ll eat the cod too!!
Kakashi: Uhh… Well, Uhei and Guruko already ate it…
Bisuke: WHAT?!!!
(Flashback, Uhei and Guruko saying ‘Cod! Me too!! Me too! I want to eat some too!’)
3. Kakashi’s smile
(p. 13)
*paws thudding on ground/running away*
Kakashi: …Got you.
Akino: Ack!
It’s always only me that you brush so roughly, Kakashi!
Kakashi: It can’t be helped, can it? You have the thickest fur, Akino
*brushing softly* It’ll be over soon, it’ll be over soon…
Other doggies: That seems nice to me, Akino…
Kakashi: Hey, it’s falling out, it’s falling out ~
Akino: !!!
Kakashi: Look, it’s a mini Akino!! So much fur…
Akino: That’s too much hair off the bottom, Kakashi! Wha…
(p. 14)
*Kakashi continuing to laugh at his mini Akino*
Akino: There are times now where Kakashi summons us, even if he doesn’t have any business for us to take care of…
(Back then) he never ever summoned us outside of missions…
(p. 15)
Akino: He was doing all kinds of things, but he was the kind of person who never had a smile on his face…
Kakashi: If I had more time, I could make an even hairier one, you know
(Other dogs: *laughing* Akino: That’s a lie!)
Akino: Kakashi…. You're having fun?
Kakashi: *genuine smile* Yep, I am!
Akino: *smile* If you feel like it, you can keep going…
Kakashi: Oh?
(Later, Akino notices Kakashi has put sunglasses on the mini Akino)
4. Timid Bull (CW Animal Death)
(p. 16)
Bull: I’m the last ninja hound that came to Kakashi’s home.
Before that, I was living in a training centre for ninja hounds.
(4. Timid Bull)
The dogs I lived together with there… were all adopted when they were puppies.
But I still lived at the training centre, even as I became fully grown.
Ninja Hey, that dog looks tough, doesn’t he?
Centre manager: Yes, but… he’s not all that suited for battling…
Despite how he looks, he’s actually a timid dog.
Bull: I… I’m scared of insects. I’m scared of noises.
I’m scared of blood.
Centre manager: Because he can understand the stories of troubled humans, you see…
Bull: I’m scared of anything other than myself.
(p. 17)
Bull: Nobody would want a dog like me, right?
Kakashi: I found a good boy ~
Bull: *panicking* There’s no manager here!
Kakashi: Hello ~
Bull: …Hello… *heart pounding*
Kakashi: Ah, one that talks, huh…
Would you like to become one of my pups?
(p. 18)
Bull: Me…? Me, really? Quit it… That’s enough joking around.
Kakashi: What do you mean?
Bull: No-one wants me (😢)
Kakashi: No-one?
I want you, though.
Bull: What kind of a strange person would want me, I thought
(p. 19)
Bull: There were lots of dogs at Kakashi’s house
(Happy barking doggy noises)
Uhei: Woah, you’re huge! But among these guys, I have the fastest legs, you know!!!
Guruko: And I have the best nose!!
Biscuit: And I’m whiny!! (Note: lit. ‘I’m selfish!’)
Shiba: I have the sharpest bite!
Pakkun: I am the wisest. (Note: Pakkun I think uses Kansai-dialect Japanese lol so he sounds kinda... distinct. This is hard to convey for me lol)
Urushi: I’m popular with the ladies ;)
(Akino: I’m the fluffiest!)
Bull: I was so confused
You… you’re not scared of me?
I’m huge, and I have a scary face… So no one comes near me.
They all said they weren’t scared.
The reason, they said together, was…
(p. 20)
‘Because Kakashi brought you, Bull!’
Everyone was totally relaxed, as if they had no worries at all.
They all clung to me as if it was completely natural to do so.
I realised that there’d always be someone beside me.
(p. 21)
*sounds of paws scuffling against ground in first two panels*
*jumping to the ground noise in third panel*
Kakashi: …Bull, this way is a dead end.
Bull: …Sorry.
I couldn’t go back to where you were, and I thought so, but -
(p.22)
Bull: *looking at dog* He asked me to stay by his side.
…He was an enemy, but he was already dying.
That’s why, Kakashi….
Kakashi: …Yep.
Let’s give him a send-off together.
(Note: this was a tricky one because Kakashi says 送る, which means send, and is used with mail etc, but can mean to say farewells to the deceased, which is why Bull comments on it on the next page)
(p. 23)
Bull: He wanted to say ‘I want to bury him’
But Kakashi said ‘send-off’.
Lightly, as if his life force was still there
There… there are a lot of things that scare me.
When I was waiting for this dog, I was scared.
But I couldn’t refuse his request.
(p. 24)
Bull: …I’m spineless.
Kakashi: Everyone else has lots of things they’re scared of, you know.
That’s why they all stay by your side, Bull.
If you’re there, everything will be alright. That’s how everyone feels.
If you’re close by, everyone’s able to feel safe.
(p. 25)
Kakashi: ….This puppy, too.
Dying dog: …Please…
Bull: That dog…
Dying dog: Stay with me, until the end…
Kakashi: Because you stayed with him, Bull, he felt at peace, didn’t he?
Bull: I don’t think that dog was happy…
…Kakashi.
He was very thin, and he also smelt like he was sick
To protect themselves, his owner didn’t treasure this [this dog’s] life.
Kakashi, I…
Somehow, I..
I’m very…
(p. 26)
Bull: I wanted to cry out as loud as I could..
Kakashi: Yeah… (I’m not sure who’s saying this line)
Bull: For feeling guilty towards that dog, and for knowing Kakashi…
For my life being here now.
For my life, I wanted to cry it out until the blood came out of my throat.
(p. 27)
Bull: That dog…
I wonder, was that dog ever able to feel like this, even once?
(Flashback) Doggies: Because Kakashi brought you, Bull!
Uhei: Hey!!! Bull!!
Shiba: You’re late!!
I was worried, you know!
Guruko: (to others) Hey, Bull came back!!
Bull: I’m Bull. The dog that Kakashi found.
5. Urushi’s scales
(p.28)
Urushi: I think I’m good looking
(5. Urushi’s scales)
Girl pups: Ahh~ Urushi…~
Urushi: I’m popular with the ladies
(note: he uses メス, which means bitch in the literal sense - a female dog - and all the puppers use it to refer to human women too. So I just left it as ladies, as I don't think the pups mean it to be crass, they just use dog language and apply it to humans as well as themselves)
Sometimes I’m told ‘it’s probably because you’re one of Kakashi’s ninken’, but…
(Background lettering over the other dogs says ‘Unstylish/Uncool/Lame’)
But my other friends aren’t all that popular, really.
Still, I think it’s because I really am good-looking after all.
(Choruses of ‘Urushi~’, ‘Ahh…; and ‘Let’s play together, Urushi)
Urushi: Hehehe…
Being good-looking is a great thing.
Guruko: Hey, Kakashi!
(p. 29)
Guruko: You got hit by a girl again, didn’t you?!
Kakashi: *laughing* No…
Akino: Why were you hit by a girl? Do girls not like you?
Uhei: It looks like it hurts…
Kakashi: Nooo ~
Shiba: You’re so strong, Kakashi, why were you hit?
Biscuit: You couldn’t avoid it?
Guruko: *Steam from nostrils* I’ll fight her for you!
Kakashi: It’s fine, it’s fine ~
What are you saying?
(p. 30.)
Urushi: Kakashi said ‘I took responsibility’.
Sometimes humans say things I don’t understand…
Girl dog: Urushi… pair up with me.
Urushi: If Kakashi’s saying it, it must be important…
Be… Because I’m one of Kakashi’s ninken?
Girl dog: It has nothing to do with that. I like you, Urushi
Urushi: Wow… *heart pounding*
Girl dog: Pair up with me, and…
I want you to leave the ninken. (Lit. Stop being a ninken)
(p. 31)
Girl dog: I love you, Urushi, but what if, on a mission, you…
I can’t stand the thought of that!
Leave the ninken, and… always stay in the village with me?
Urushi: This girl’s a beauty, and has a kind personality…
I think that I might want to be with her…
Should I leave the ninken?
(p. 32)
Urushi: *perplexed*
Kakashi, Bull and Biscuit: *zzz, sleeping sounds*
Urushi: If I said I wanted to leave the ninken…
Kakashi: (in Urushi’s imagination) If that’s what you want, Urushi
It’s fine with me! (Background: It would be a shame, though…)
Urushi: I feel like Kakashi would say something like that…
Do I want to do that…? Not really, but… *sigh*
Hey, Pakkun.
(p. 33)
Pakkun: Something bothering you?
Urushi: Yeah, there is
I have to decide between two things, but it’s difficult…
I want both of them, but I can’t have them.
Pakkun: … Is it a girl problem?
Urushi: Yep ~
Pakkun: That’s just like you, Urushi. (Pakkun’s imagination shows two girl pups arguing:
Urushi!! Which one will you choose, me or her?! *indignant barking*)
When making a decision about something, one needs to think about what’s most.
...important to oneself.
Let’s say you balance both sides on your scales…
Urushi: My scales?
Pakkun: For example….
(p. 34)
It’s not the physical weight, but the weight of what you think is precious and important. It’s the weight of those feelings.
If you think about which is heavier, you’ll find the answer.
Kakashi: You guys are having a kinda complicated conversation, huh…?
Pakkun: Oh, Kakashi, you woke up, did you?
Urushi: *heart pounding*
Kakashi: My scales lean towards sleep, you know..
Let’s eat soon, okay? Please…
Urushi: Kakashi…. Are you happy that I’m here?
(p. 35)
Kakashi: Hm? Yeah, I’m happy!
Urushi, of course I’m happy ~
(Note: the word Kakashi uses is 嬉しい, which is ‘ureshii’ so Kakashi is making a pun with Urushi’s name here.)
Urushi: *blush* Okay!
Pakkun: What we were just talking about… Don’t talk about it in front of Shiba.
Urushi: Huh? Why?
Pakkun: Seems like he recently had his heart broken…
(p. 36)
Urushi: The thing that’s most important and precious to me… isn’t you.
That’s why I can’t be with you.
I can’t be with you, but… you’re a beautiful and amazing lady.
So, let’s meet again one day ~
Biscuit: Kakashi! Kakashiiiii! It’s awful!!
(p. 37)
(*throbbing pain*)
Biscuit: Urushi’s hurt!!
(*dogs barking*)
Guruko: Let’s go fight them!! *steam from nostrils*
Shiba: No way, is it a girl? Kakashi, you better tell him off!!!
Kakashi: Did you get into a fight with a dog from the village?
Urushi: No, it’s not that…
I took responsibility.
I’ve got a manly mark on my face, heh~
Shiba: You better tell him off!! *bark*
Pakkun: That’s it…
6. Kakashi’s Helper Team!
(p. 38)
Kakashi: I’m home~!!!
Guruko: ?!!! Kakashi, you stink!!
Kakashi: *sweetly smiling* Oh, stop it…
I saw Asuma after a long time, and we talked and ended up getting some drinks… It was nice to see him… *flops down on floor*
Guruko: Take a bath!!!
Don’t go to sleep!!
(*soundly sleeping*)
(p. 39.)
Guruko: Uhei! Uheiii!
Uhei: What is it?
Guruko: Let’s clean up Kakashi!
(6. Kakashi’s Helper Team!)
Uhei: Ehh… But if he wakes up, he’ll take a bath himself, won’t he?
(SFX: Heave-ho! Heave-ho!)
Guruko: We can’t leave Kakashi as he is when he’s this stinky! It’s fine, take it off!
Uhei: Uh, this is stuck half way, I can’t take it off
Guruko: Because you haven’t taken off his leg bandages!
(p. 40)
Guruko: Damn, this is stuck half way *pulling*
Uhei: Isn’t that because you haven’t taken off his headband?!
Guruko: This is enough, let’s carry him to the bath like this!
(*dragging noises*)
Uhei: Won’t his clothes get wet?
Guruko: It’s fine, because we’re going to wash them anyway!
Uhei: It’s amazing… Kakashi still hasn’t woken up!
Guruko: Okay, let’s wash him!
Uhei: Isn’t that… the shampoo that we use?
Guruko: It’s totally safe!!
If it’s fine for us to use, it’ll be fine for Kakashi too, right?
Uhei: I guess…
(p. 41)
Uhei: We can wash his body, but what about his clothes?
(SFX: *scrub scrub*)
Guruko: If we wash them together, it’ll be fine! Hey, pour some hot water over here ~
Uhei: Okay!
(SFX: *splash*)
Kakashi: *suddenly yelling* I’m gonna die!!
Guruko: *screaming*
Kakashi: Even with my face covered, if you pour hot water on me, I can’t breathe, you know!! You really can’t do that.
Guruko: You woke up…
(SFX: *heart pounding*)
Uhei: You really scared me…
(p. 42)
Kakashi: You’d started something, and I wondered how far you’d carry on… Ah, I’m drenched.
Guruko: Ah, I’m sorry, Kakashi!!
Kakashi: Well, anyway.. you guys ended up cleaning yourselves pretty good too. You’re all drenched, too.
Guruko: Then I’ll go get some towels!!
Uhei: Kakashi, Kakashi
Guruko acts the way he does, but he really loves looking after you!
Kakashi: I know.
Biscuit: I want to have a bath with Kakashi too ~
Guruko: That’s not it! It’s just all slippery (note: not accurate, but the gist is that Biscuit misunderstands and Guruko puts him straight)
7. I’ll always love you
(p. 43)
(Flashback)
Sakumo: Pakkun…
Pakkun…
I have a favour to ask.
(Present)
Pakkun…
(SFX: Snoring)
Kakashi: Pakkun..
(SFX: Gasp)
Pakkun: Huh?
Kakashi: It’s time to eat.
(p. 44)
Pakkun: Alright.
(Other dogs: Food~ Food ~
Kakashi: Yes ~ Yes ~)
(Flashback)
Sakumo: Pakkun…
Pakkun….
Pakkun..
(p. 45)
Pakkun: Kakashi?
Kakashi: Hm?
Pakkun: For the mission report before… You didn't need me, did you?
Why did you bring me?
Other dogs: We want to come too!!
Kakashi: It’s just Pakkun for today
Kakashi: Hmm…
Hey, let’s relax here for a little while.
Pakkun: What’s this…
Kakashi: Come on…
Well…
(p. 46)
Kakashi: I want to talk about Dad.
…No. Maybe it’s a confession?
Talking about Dad…. Felt like something we couldn’t even broach. Ever.
I think you felt this way too, right, Pakkun?
I couldn’t tell you earlier that ‘it’s all right now’. Even though it was.
It was just a matter of timing, I guess…
Pakkun: But I wasn’t waiting for you to say that… Even if you’d have said it earlier, that’d have been good, but..
Why, out of the blue like this?
A change like that… Just like…
Just like…
(p. 47)
(Flashback)
Sakumo: I have a favour.
(Present)
Kakashi: The day Dad died…
Ever since then, for a long time, now… I became strange.
I’ve been nothing but trouble for you.
Pakkun: Kakashi-
Kakashi: Even though… you were hurting over Dad not being here too.
(p. 48)
Kakashi: Dad was your first master, right?
You really were precious to him.
….The other day, when you were having a nap, I woke you up, didn’t I?
It might have been because of the food, but your nose was twitching.
At first, I thought you were growling.
When I woke you up, you had a really startled expression when you looked at me.
I understood right away.
You were thinking about Dad, right?
(p. 49)
Kakashi: You were having a dream about Dad that time, right?
Thank you for always being considerate towards me…
But it’s alright now.
From now on, I want you to tell me…
The things about Dad that only you know.
(p. 50)
Pakkun: Sakumo…
(Sakumo: Pakkun…)
Pakkun: …really was a loving, kind man.
Kind, and…
(Sakumo: Pakkun…)
Pakkun: Kind, and…
…Kakashi.
I’ll tell you about Sakumo.
The things I’ve always wanted to tell you
I’ll tell you now.
Kakashi: Okay.
(p. 51)
Kakashi: Thank you for telling me about Dad, Pakkun.
Pakkun: …Don’t you dare die.
(Pakkun…)
I’ve had enough now.
Yeah. Enough.
(p. 52)
(Sakumo: I’m asking.…)
Pakkun: Sakumo…
The two of you are exactly alike.
Kakashi: Oh, really?
Pakkun: Everything’s alright now.
(p. 53)
“Kakashi!”
(p. 54)
(No text)
(p. 55)
Kakashi!
(p. 56)
Kakashi
(Note: I think the favour Sakumo asked of Pakkun was to take care of and be mindful of Kakashi always. This isn't outright stated)

Hi Al! As you know, I am obsessed with Neighbourly 🤭 So here I am, back again to ask a couple of Qs about Kakashi's POV if you're open to answering some :)
In Ch 1, I have always been curious about what went through Kakashi's mind after he called Sakura a bitch, before realising he got the situation VERY wrong when Sakura handed Pakkun back to him. I've always wondered if he felt remorse, especially in Ch 2 when Sakura drunkenly told him that he hurt her feelings. I also wonder if that (returning his dog to him) was the point he began to develop feelings for her? Idk why, but him calling her all those names really stuck with me and I've always wondered whether he struggled with that after she shut the door in his face.
I am also interested in what went through Kakashi's mind in Ch 14, after Sakura finally lost it and confessed her feelings for him (while covered in poop), and then proceeded to ask for some time alone. After reading it, I imagined he felt something akin to regret because of how he doubted her and likely ruined something good. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this! 🥰
hi kurious!! yes ma'am u know i love to divulge our sad boy's secrets!
Kakashi had initially found Sakura annoying, but in a fun way. He was enjoying getting on her nerves because he felt she deserved it, but also, there was just a hint of attraction there. When Pakkun went missing and he realized Sakura had something to do with it, in his mind, Sakura went from a firecracker to an atom bomb. Suddenly, all the impulsive, annoying things she did weren't cute anymore.
It takes a lot to get Kakashi angry, but endangering his Boy is definitely one way to do it. So, in that moment, Kakashi is seeing Sakura as a selfish, careless person who has put his dog at risk just because of a stupid envelope being stuffed in her mailbox.
When she proves him wrong, his instant reaction is PANIC. He is beside himself, because the tables have absolutely been turned on him, and now he's been made out to be the impulsive, angry one between them, and how did she do that to him??? Panic, because, shit, he really was a complete asshole to her in that moment, and panic, because, shit, she is something else. This is definitely where Kakashi starts seeing Sakura as more than just the cute girl across the hall who too easily gets riled up.
Ch 2 was Kakashi's "apology". He's always been more of an actions speak louder than words person, so he tries to make amends by helping her out, which explodes spectacularly in his face, though there is a part of him (deep down) that is sort of satisfied by watching her vomit on Tenzou.
He almost almost even tells her how he's feeling while she's talking about Tenzou.
“You are remarkably difficult to hate.”
This is as close as he gets, alluding to how charming he's beginning to find her. When she follows it up with how he had hurt her feelings, he's floored. He never imagined that he could shake her confidence, because she really does seem so sure-footed. He's definitely hit with a pang of guilt, but he's mostly just stunned that she would ever care what he thinks of her. It's another shove in the direction of really, actually, terrifyingly liking her. He offers her a hangover cure for the morning (coffee and breakfast with Pakkun) as another olive branch. (He is deeply disappointed when she doesn't take it)
Kakashi's panic and disappointment routine continues in Ch 14 with Sakura's angry I like you speech. He's so relieved to hear her say it, and while worry is already sinking in, because he had jumped to conclusions (again) and incorrectly called her out (again) and he's just hoping they can take their mutual feelings and push past it. When Sakura doesn't let that happen, Kakashi honestly understands, but he's hurt.
He absolutely feels like he's ruined something before it ever really even started. He let his insecurities get the better of him, and instead of just talking to her about it, he had let it foster until it exploded. He spends the rest of his day (until he gets that text from Ino) feeling frustrated and disappointed in himself.

Can you do some fluff headcanons for Kakashi and his gf ? ❣️
A/N: So I really just dyed my hair blonde.. and it looks.. interesting to say the least..
Also, I’m so hyped I got this request I love Kakashi 😫 So I will project all this relationship yearning into this headcanon:
✎ Kakashi Fluff Headcanons
A lil heads up: in order to date kakashi in the first place I think you’d need to have an understanding that he has had a lot of emotional trauma, so it will take him a while to actually fully adjust to a relationship. Just for the sake of these being fluffy hc’s I didn’t really take into account a lot of the angsty shit bc than that would have defeated the purpose but anyways I did try my best
So idc what anyone says Kakashi will be a clingy and horny piece of shit when you start dating. Like he lives for physical contact. I’m convinced both him and Yamato are touch starved. So anyways, what that means is that he loves cuddling. Always wants to be the big spoon, he loves being the big spoon. Will wrap an arm and a leg around you and he will attach himself like a suction cup. Also really Likes burying his head in your neck, bonus if your hair is down.
He loves showing you affection, but if you wanna show him affection? He will die of happiness. Like you wanna come over to the couch and lay down with your legs on his lap? He’ll Melt. Give him hugs from behind? He’s melting alright. Oh boy and if you take care of him after a mission.. you will have him in the palm of your hand for the rest of your life. Like you wanna clean up his wounds and start a shower for him, then play with his hair till he falls asleep? He will become the biggest simp.
He’s also bomb at cooking and he also loves to show off to you tbh. Therefore, he will cook for you whenever he can and the food will be amazing. He also prefers staying at home rather than going out on dates. He’s just that type to want to relax on the couch with his s/o and watch a movie or read a book while cuddling. It’s probably because he’s always busy with Team 7 or he’s on a mission, so when he isn’t he wants to cherish that time to relax.
Secretly adores sitting on the roof of the apartment and talking for a long time. He really likes when you two stay up late just talking. Loves the sound of your voice and will sometimes just make you talk the whole time so he can listen to you.
When he’s away on long missions he’s thinking about you alright, a lot. Like when his squad sets up camp for the night and he lays down to watch the clouds in the dark sky, he’ll think about you and all the conversations you’ve had together on his roof. Will probably cuddle his pillow to make up for the empty space next to him. Or if something crazy happens he thinks about what your reaction will be like when he tells you about it. He’s kinda like a lost puppy, but refuses to let anyone else know that.
As I said before, mans clingy. So when he feels like you’re not getting enough time together because he’s on missions or both of you are just busy, he will bring you with him to train team 7. Don’t get me wrong, team 7 loves you, but when they see kakashi has brought you along to a training day they internally scream because they know he is gonna give them some next level hard shit. They know it’s because he’s trying to keep them busy and finesse some free time with you.
But if he doesn’t bring you along for training, If you stop by to bring him lunch or something like that he will be so happy. He’ll act all cool about it when he’s infront of his squad but when he comes home he will thank you with cuddles or kisses. Also, if you swing by and bring the whole team some food, they will all love you forever.
PDA is a tricky thing with him, for starters he’s always wearing his mask outside so he doesn’t really give you any kisses while in public. He doesn’t mind holding hands but he really likes having an arm around you instead. Whether it’s on your back or around your waist. He loves it 10/10.
When you’re at home and the mask is off, you can expect to be smothered in kisses for a good couple of minutes. He’s just making up for the time could have kissed you when the mask was on. Loves to give neck kisses and forehead kisses, but he loves when you give him kisses on his nose or his forehead and literally anywhere else, but the forehead is his fav.
He can be very trusting with you but can also be the opposite at times as well. He doesn’t want you going on super hard missions and will probably ask you more than once to reconsider. Probably because a) he doesn’t want to lose you, he’s lost a lot of people close to him already and b) if the enemy has run Into Kakashi before and they find out you’re dating him, they would probably more than enjoy the opportunity to take the Copy Ninjas s/o away from him. If you still insist you want to go, he’ll send Pakkun out to tail you in secret, but will feel guilty afterwards. On the other hand though, he has no problem having you hang out with other guys, he’s not the jealous type at all. He fully trusts you and the relationship, but will step in if he can sense you’re uncomfortable.
He can pick up on whenever you’re upset or If there is change to your mood. At first he won’t pry, but when he notices it getting worse he will ask what’s wrong. He wants to help figure it out and doesn’t want to see his s/o upset, especially if there is a way he can stop it. I also think he’s good at talking about emotions and dealing with them for the most part. I mean he has to deal with Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Sasukes emo hours so he has experience.
For gifts he goes with the classics: flowers, jewelry and chocolate. He gets all his romantic tips off of Makeout Paradise and all his other books so expect the most cliche gifts or the most questionable ones.
To conclude, I feel like Kakashi would be a great boyfriend, 100%

Eye to Eye
Day 5 :) Whoop. Based on my favourite OBKK fanart of all time [x]
Hatake Kakashi & Uchiha Obito
2470 words.
Rated T, canon typical violence
Ao3 link [x]
For @kakaobiweek Day 5: Disguise.
Kakashi is tasked to follow a man that allegedely helped Itachi murder the Uchiha clan.
Kakashi had long known that he was the best operative in the Hokage’s arsenal. That he had proven himself through countless missions and operations he always cleared without major issues. A born ANBU member, someone who did not care about himself, his name or his reputation. Who could kill without regard for human life. Deplorable as Kakashi felt about himself, he was a good little soldier for the system.
Still, he’d always felt like he somehow needed a team by his side to get his jobs done. Not only because he trusted his team with his eyes blind, Tenzo especially, but also because his skills alone just weren’t as great in comparison to their combined skills. He had very much noticed his own faults when Itachi had joined his team. A real boy genius- not just kinda lucky in life like himself. But Itachi, well, Itachi had turned out a major disappointment in a way. He had not been a good little soldier for the system.
So when Kakashi had been asked to follow someone out of Land of Fire borders, a top secret mission as this could breach an already very weak peace, he was surprised to be told he had to go alone. Danzo was involved again, the man that smelled like death and conspiracy, but it had been sanctioned off by Lord Third, so there had been no chance of rebuttal. He was sent out quietly, unofficially, to find someone who supposedly helped Itachi murder his whole family. Some had seen him, possibly, and Kakashi was to take him back - or take him out. His choice.
His wish would have been to follow Itachi wherever he had gone. He had been his team member in the first place and as such he felt like Kakashi’s responsibility. Somehow, somewhere, he thought that there must have been a mistake with him, that he must have been confused somehow. His deeds just didn’t match the person Kakashi had met. But then again still waters do run deep. Who knew anyway. 
Kakashi questioned people along the way about the fateful night. The ones who had claimed to have seen someone with Itachi. They were all frightened of what they called “The Uchiha Wrath” as if Itachi would jump down from a tree any second and off them, but in the end they often did tell Kakashi what they’d seen anyway. A mysterious sounding man. Black hair, orange mask. Kakashi thought it must just be another Uchiha. They must have done it together.
Day by day he fought himself through thick forests and trees, hiding in caves and behind waterfalls, eating nothing but meal balls day in and day out, all on the track of the masked man. He wondered if there was even a chance to find him, someone who seemed to appear here, there and everywhere at random times, as if he could vanish into thin air and turn up in some other place the next. A real sly technique that Kakashi admired his adversary for. If only he could too.
Three weeks passed in solitude, too much time for the young man alone with his thoughts and regrets. He hadn’t slept more than two hours in the last three days, trying to focus on the mission ahead and failing to keep the memories out. He wanted to give up, he was mentally exhausted, but he decided to give it another day. Just one more day. Pakkun had found a new trail leading south and Kakashi followed it. One more time, if not he’d return even if that meant he failed the task.
The dogs stopped just outside of a wide clearing, sun streaming down in beams of light through the tops of the trees. “Here, boss” Pakkun said matter of factly and Kakashi saw the figure through the trees. A man, not much taller, but a little broader than he himself, was standing and by what Kakashi could see, talking to himself. His hair was long and black and his mask, which had black flames on it, was bright orange. No doubt about it, he finally found what he had been looking for. He praised the dogs with a whisper, scratched Pakkun’s ears as a reward and then dismissed them.
Kakashi stared down into the clearing, his Hound mask steadfast on his face. How would he go about this, he wondered. This guy could possibly vanish into thin air, maybe like some sort of invisibility. He was very likely a surviving Uchiha and possessed the sharingan. Any jutsu could just be copied in seconds. He felt for his katana on his back. There was probably only head on violence left, which often led to the death of the subject. Just a little casualty. He was authorised to kill if necessary and it usually was. Kakashi was tired and this needed an end.
There was no time to decide on the when and how because the Orange mask guy turned around and aimed his gaze right at Kakashi. “Took you long enough”, he growled in a low, threatening voice. “Have been trailing me for weeks now without any luck, have we?” Of course Kakashi was surprised, he had been so careful. Erasing his presence and becoming nobody was one of his specialties. He did not let this face him, however, little complications could always happen. He brought himself to his full height, striding down the tree he had been hiding in as casually and unbothered as possible: “You did give me quite the run around.”
The orange mask only had one hole to see through, a red eye shining dangerously behind it. Kakashi had been right in his assessment. It was an Uchiha. “So”, he said, his head stretched to the left shoulder, “You helped my team mate commit mass murder.” The other shrugged his shoulders, a cold laugh leaving his mouth. “As if you’ve never done it, Copy Cat.” Ah, so he knows me, Kakashi thought, arms leisurely crossed in front of his chest. “I did not say I didn’t.” 
“People like you always feel so superior. So high and mighty about themselves. When in truth you are just as murderous as the rest of us”, the man said, spinning a branch between his fingers. Kakashi followed with his uncovered eye as the other walked around, circling around like two cats ready to pounce onto each other. With all the preparation he’d done during the weeks of tracking, he unfortunately had not discovered many abilities of his adversary outside of appearing and disappearing at will. Kakashi had to be on the lookout.
Kakashi scoffed a little, shrugging his slender shoulders lazily. “I know I’m a murderer,” he said, continuing the casual tone of voice, “I don’t act superior about it.” He shook his hair and watched the other man stumble a little. “I just wish you could tell me why my team member killed his own family. I understand his reasoning, but I would like to hear yours.“ The orange mask looked almost menacing now that the other man had started walking into the shadows of the trees. Kakashi followed him from a distance. His hand was ready to jump to his katana in defence.
“My reasoning? My opinion on things in this world has not mattered since I was a child”, the masked man spat back, laughing hollowly. “I didn’t do anything. He came to me and asked for help. I just provided it.” Kakashi took a sharp breath. He still had a hard time imagining that Itachi had come up with this massacre idea himself. That was not how he’d known him in his ANBU team. But why would this person lie? What would he have to gain for that? “Well, if you don’t want to reply to me, then I just have to take you out,” Kakashi growled and pulled the katana from his back. He slowly uncovered his red eye.
Both jumped at the same time, launching towards each while waving signs. Kakashi had his chidori tingling around his hands instantaneously, while the other man sent a fireball. A classic jutsu passed on through most of the Uchiha clan. Both dodged each other without further issues, but the other man suddenly materialised a metal chain that he wrapped around Kakashi’s throat and grabbed it tight. Kakashi coughed at the cokehold gripping with his hands at the metal to get relief.
“You think you found me here”, the man growled into Kakashi’s ear, his face only inches away, “but I allowed you to find me.” Kakashi kept grabbing at the chain and found a bit of air somewhere. “Why would you do something so reckless and stupid?”, he asked and the masked man laughed another hollow laugh. “I decided it was time to kill you” he said, his wood mask hitting the back of Kakashi’s head. “I thought at first you might be a threat, but now I realise you are nothing.” The man loosened his grip on the chain just enough for Kakashi to knock him back with his shoulder, jumping away to free himself.
He took a few deep breaths, rubbing his throat where the chain had left a mark. “I am nothing”, he said calmly, straightening up his back, “but you won’t kill me.” He jumped forward again, this time just attacking with taijutsu. “You are so weak,” the masked man said and to Kakashi’s surprise the punch he had thrown phased right through the other, as if he’d never been there. Was it a clone? He moved his head to see if there were any clouds from a popped clone, but instead got a knee kick to the face. No, this was definitely a real person.
Alright, so he could disappear and reappear, Kakashi thought, trying to get his mind back together after the direct hit. He shook himself and dodged the next knee as it was coming  and then his adversary disappeared again, half his body dodging the chidori Kakashi had brought out of thin air. “You could never defeat me”, the man laughed from somewhere Kakashi could not access. “I have surpassed you so long ago.” 
“I didn’t know we had a contest”, Kakashi replied, rapidly moving his sharingan eye around to figure out where the other man would return, thoughts spiralling in his head. So the other needed to be present in full flesh to hit him, so Kakashi would have to let him get close to ensure he couldn’t just phase himself away. That was risky, letting an enemy get close, maybe hit him directly, but it seemed like there was no choice.
“You don't know so many things”, the man said and finally was visible again, a wooden stick growing out of the palm of his hand. Wood Style, Kakashi noted quickly, but he had no chance to be surprised, because he already needed to dodge backwards again. He jumped away and threw a punch under the other man's chin at the same time and this time it hit directly. The orange mask moved slightly and Kakashi could clearly see the sharingan eye gleaming behind it.
The man fell backwards, stumbling, but catching himself again. Kakashi blinked. He’d not met anyone that had the mokuton except for Tenzo, and he’d never seen Tenzo use the ability so offensively, so deadly. The spike was still in the palm of the man’s hand, sharp and violent, and Kakashi knew that he would have to dodge it or he might actually be killed from it. “You are an Uchiha too, then?” Kakashi said out loud, imitating his usual casual voice to mask the thoughts in his head. “You killed your own family just because a distant cousin asked you?”
“None of that matters”, the man said, “This world is nothing.” The man jumped again, the chain out of air back in his hands. Kakashi dodged both the chain and the wood spike, only getting a little cut on his arm. “I’m curious who you are”, Kakashi said, landing gracefully on both his feet. “If you are going to kill me anyway, you could just tell me.” If he could gain such information and pass it on to Pakkun, the dog could give it over to the hokage, telling him which Uchiha was still alive, even if Kakashi died. The man laughed again, his hands spinning for just another fire jutsu. Kakashi copied it and defended himself without much ease. “I don’t think so,” the man said, black hair waving with every movement. “I guess I will have to find it out then”, Kakashi launched himself forward one more time.
They fought mid air, a mess of arms and legs punching and showing each other. The other man summoned and dismissed his mokuton spike freely, moving it around Kakashi’s upper body until it was full of scratches. Kakashi kept trying to reach the mask, a thin wooden structure that didn’t seem particularly strongly attached to the band behind it. A strong grip should loosen it, so he could take it completely, or at least have a chance to look at the person beneath it.
However, with the incredibly annoying ability of being able to phase in and out of things, it was difficult for Kakashi to even touch the other man, who by now had figured out what he was trying to do. There was only one way that he’d get it done: by letting his opponent come as close to him as possible, attack and possibly wound him and then quickly pick the mask off the face. This could injure him greatly and was a risk, but one he had to try.
He unlocked himself from the other and shook his head to get his concentration back, then he launched again, chidori sizzling around his fingers. The masked man phased away, exactly as Kakashi had anticipated, and phased back in behind him, the wooden spike growing quickly out of his hand. Kakashi turned his head around, let the spike hit his neck, buried itself in it, and moved his arm.
With a last stretch of his hand Kakashi reached for the mask, the wooden spike right at his neck drawing blood. He grabbed it, at the same time as the masked man grabbed his, and they both ripped it off simultaneously like a performance they had practised and perfected. Like two dancers in complete sync.
Wood clanked twice as both masks dropped to the floor, an echo along the trees of the clearing. Kakashi took a breath and another, his sharingan eye looking straight ahead in a mirrored version of it. The same eye, a different head. The next breath choked in his throat, his heart stopping for just a second. 
It was nothing more than a whispered breath.
“Obito.”
