ooooh, what is the naughtiest thing all uchiha and senju girlies (ocs) have done? and with who?

All under the cut for these women ✨

Obvi nsfw-ness ahead

Aori - she’s vanilla, so deepthroat morning wake ups

Katsura - she got over her Hashirama crush, she’s not fulfilling Madara’s Hashirama fantasy. But she will cockwarm him. Easiest way to get cuddles and feel dominant for a change. At least while it last 💀

Okami - definitely the Uchiha orgy she helped orchestrate for Konoha (Kawarama) a little for herself too because Uchiha women are hot

Gou - it’s too embarrassing to talk about 💀 gave Itama a nursing handjob. It was an accident, and she’s sticking to it

Next Gen

Miu - missed with Kagami’s prostate while giving him a handjob with him face down ass up. Still giggles about the amount he came from that

Sora - fucking in a hotspring with her Husband (Rei)

Kōmori - rimjob on Sakumo poor Sakumo enjoyed it more than he’d ever admit

Tora - choking /being choked orochimaru while she climaxed

Riki - misuse of Kakuzu’s threads

Next next Gen

Nisshoku - after a lot of convincing and reassurance that he wouldn’t die, face sitting with Manda

Writing Prompts: Canon Divergent AUs - Butterfly Edition!

The idea is to change one (or a couple) aspects of canon and see how the story shifts as a result. It's a great exercise for character comprehension and of course your imagination, while still having canon as a helpful crutch. Not to mention how fun it is to see things play out differently ^_^

Tool Tip: Adding OCs/Places/Powers etc is fine but try to keep things within the rules of the source material!

Pre Start of Main Story:

-Sakumo lives/Kakashi's mystery mother actually exists

-Rin/Obito/Both live/Kakashi dies

-Kushina/Minato/Both survive

-All Uchiha/Mikoto/Fugaku/Shisui survives/Itachi stays

-Orochimaru/Tsunade/Jiraiya/All stay

-Danzo murders Hiruzen (f.e. by having him "KIA with Kyuubi")

-Ichiraku Ramen doesn't exist

-Road To Ninja it: Add a RTN character as the original's twin, or replace them entirely

-Iruka dies alongside his parents/his parents survive the Kyuubi Attack

-Itachi Boogaloo: change his behaviour during the massacre

x. (Crack) Itachi tells Sasuke to keep eating his vegetables, do his homework diligently, stay healthy and make some friends

y. Itachi tells Sasuke the truth inside the genjutsu

z. Early Concept Itachi who is just plain evil

Suggestion: The pressure and war trauma got to him and turned him into a high functioning sociopath. He only acted the part of a kind brother and murdered the Uchiha because he viewed them as weak and beneath him. He kept Sasuke alive because he views him as cute in a 'bug crawling for its life' kind of way and loves seeing his expressions of despair and rage.

Main Story:

-Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura/Kakashi dies during Wave Arc

-Haku/Zabuza/Both survive

-Gaara succeeds in killing Sakura during the Suna Ambush

-Anko takes Sasuke under her wing (curse mark connection)

-Sasuke/Naruto/Both die at VOTE1

-Naruto joins Sasuke in defecting

-Naruto and Sasuke run away together, but not to join Orochimaru

-Orochimaru Foul: He gets fed up with Sasuke's attitude and decides to keep him blind until he's ready to possess him. He steals one/both of Sasuke's eyes in an attempt to keep him docile.

x. Sasuke goes catatonic.

y. Sasuke goes ballistic. He dies/He runs.

z. Sasuke is found and rescued.

Bonuses that you can add:

a. Madara plotline doesn't exist

b. Kaguya plotline doesn't exist

c. Mix and match prompts you want together

P.S. If you write any of these let me know I'd love to read them <3

P.P.S. Follow up with more prompts from later on in the story in the makings. Maybe.

P.P.P.S. Of course you can also change any other aspect I haven't brought up here!

we find love (at halloween)

madara uchiha x sakumo hatake

halloween malewife server exchange fic for @fatummeum <3 -

He had first met Madara Uchiha on October 1st.

A stranger across the street; tall, dark, and handsome and carrying a squealing 1 year old in his arms. Graceful in his movements, contained and composed and altogether handsome, with flowing, black hair and piercing eyes. An intriguing sight, watched from behind the security of drawn blinds with his own toddler clutched in his arms.

“Sakumo Hatake,” he had announced, not even an hour later, holding out a hand to the stranger as Kakashi had stood at his leg, eying down the equally curious Uchiha child.

“Madara,” the other man had replied, the name rolling off his tongue like something rich, exotic, a spell only broken with the naming of his own child. “And, Obito.”

Not Madara’s own as Sakumo would find out, something nearer to a nephew, adopted at birth from another member of the family but as much his son now as any ‘true’ offspring.

The first of many meetings, of house visits spurred on by Kakashi's curiosity and Sakumo's own budding crush. Not at the Hatake's home, no, the sharp barks and growls of Buru and the others had quickly put an end to that; Sakumo's horror and embarrassment at Kakashi's own pup, Pakkun attempting to take a nibble of Madara's ankle enough to raise a deep red into his cheeks despite the other man's seemingly careless attitude.

Not that the Uchiha household was anything less than interesting.

A blend of modern and traditional, splashed with red and white and dotted with antiques among more modern fixtures. An incense bowl atop the small fridge. Samurai armor of a deep red hung within the closet between suits and t-shirts. A screen bearing hand painted figures dancing through flames angled just enough for the light of the television to reflect. Betta fish in large tanks, swimming amongst carved onyx figurines and lit black candles.

Heirlooms, Madara had called them, Obito resting on his knee, teething toy in hand as Sakumo had marveled at the quality and age of the paintings upon the wall, the aura that had seemed to flow from the eyes of the individuals surely long since gone.

And, looking back, a hint that his new neighbor had not been human.

One of many signs, signs that had only increased in frequency as the autumn days had pressed on, falling like leaves into his lap.

Hawks swooping in low, lazy circles over the roof of the house. A sudden rain storm to drown out the noise of a party down the street. A bonfire seemly started with a snap of his fingers, and the flick of a lighter too small for such a flame. Small, pressing things stored in the back of Sakumo's mind and yet never quite connecting.

Until he had transformed.

The plan had been simple, a night of trick or treating with Sakumo graciously offering to take Obito along with Kakashi's candy run, the two of them in matching shinobi costumes complete with plastic swords and a mask pulled up over cold noses. Two bags full of candy, two boys filled with chocolate and once they had passed out in warm beds, two drinks shared and perhaps if the liquid courage was enough, a cautious, careful question.

The candy bit at least, had gone off without a hitch.

Well past 11 when Kakashi had fallen asleep, hand still clinging to a chocolate bar as Sakumo had pulled the cover over his shoulders, kissed the child on the head, stepped out into his hallway ...

... and almost screamed.

"Hush," Madara had whispered, hand pressed over Sakumo's mouth. "You'll wake him."

A costume, Sakumo had thought, heart beating widely in his chest as he had watched the taloned hand pull away from his mouth, tucked back within the sleeve of Madara's long, flowing robes. A costume.

And yet, clearly not.

Where before a human, a man, something, knowable had stood now appeared wholly supernatural. Large, dark, drooping wings spread to either side of his form, black feathers to match the growth up up his face and neck, silken plume alongside a now curved nose and a mouth filled with sharper teeth.

And above all, crimson, glowing eyes that had peered directly into his soul.

"Tengu," Madara had whispered, leaning close as though conspiring upon some secret plan. "In case you were wondering."

Tengu. A beast, a monster. A myth.

Touching him.

It had been minutes, maybe hours before he had been able to speak again, to push out the questions on the tip of his tongue and risk a touch of the midnight dipped wings.

How old?

"Many centuries."

How?

"This world hides a great many realities that mankind has long since deemed myths."

Why?

"Why not? Should I be confined to a cave?"

A life spent living a double life, soaring upon moonless nights and dipping down in the dawn to climb into a ruby red car. Watching over his family, his kin, for generations and stepping in to provide for the ones too small to make it within the world. Manifesting something like magic, and content to spend an evening with his son curled up against him, television loud and bright.

"And now a question of my own, Sakumo. When do you think you fell for me?"

The confession in his heart, but not from his lips but it hadn't seemed to matter, not when Madara had brushed the sharp point of his finger over his cheek and pressed a kiss to his mouth, a burning thing that had sent his head reeling and his heart thumping in his ears once more.

The first kiss of a relationship.

A first sign of trust.

The pieces had fallen into place quickly after that; a first date, a first pet name, a first explanation to the children at their feet.

"Ew," Obito had replied, tongue stuck out in a face of disgust as Madara had pressed a kiss to his lover's jaw, the act of affection becoming a chuckle at the the toddler's despair.

"You're not pleased to have a possible brother?"

The two children had turned to each other then, taken in the traded shirts from one another's closets, and shrugged, acts of icky affection forgotten in the face of a family bond.

Nights spent in quiet contemplation, Madara's hand in motion as he had spoken of the past, of creatures out of folklore, friends who he only met in passing now. A forest spirit in the shape of a human, marked with dried tree sap and clothed in vines. A dragon whose nest had long since sunken to the bottom of the ocean, a stern figure of white hair and cold eyes. A kitsune of nine, elegant tails, beautiful in her human form, and even older than he.

Secrets laid bare, and not all of them Madara's.

"For about two years now."

A bottle clutched in Sakumo's hand, a billion nerves in his stomach.

"I had Kakashi myself, the surgery a year or so before that."

Stammering on his words, a hand over the scars laid bare.

And Madara's words as warm, as kind as ever.

"And do you think it changes things between us? Not all of my clan are the same as I, but our love is beyond the measure of a human."

Milestones like footsteps in clay, holidays marked more vivid, more joyful than before.

A Christmas spent together with wine and a tree marked with handmade decorations. A dozen presents under the tree and two squabbling boys trying to stay awake until midnight.

Cold, winter evenings made warmer by Sakumo's hands on Madara's chest, a fever like blush on his cheeks and a scarf wrapped tight around his neck.

Valentine's Day spent together in a bed of silk, a first, nervous love making that had bought stars to his eyes, hands held tight in Madara's mane and confessions of love spoken again, and again, and again.

Spring flowers, and walks in the park. Tiny hands clutched to their large ones, and tangled leashes held tight against the pulling of six too excited dogs. Crayons scattered across the floor and a scribbled family portrait proudly gracing the wall of a home now shared by four.

Summers at the beach, spoiled children with ice cream cones and Sakumo's laughter at kisses stolen beneath umbrellas. Fireworks high in the sky and a first flight taken amongst the stars with Madara's wings spread about him, a whirl of wind beneath both of their feet.

And then, Halloween again.

There is a warmth in his belly tonight, the taste of warm chocolate on his lips as he straddles Madara, feels the talons dance down his back and bends to kiss his lover, his soon to be husband and moans when the Uchiha lifts his hips, the tips of his wings rising and falling like the beats of his heart.

Scraps of long since tattered costumes upon the floor, sweat upon Madara's face and Sakumo's neck littered with marks of passion. Love and love making and a monster beneath him, pleading for his mercy, for more and more, and more.

A year of discovery, of understanding, and forming bonds. A second son, someone to call his own, and a life that Sakumo wonders is even real.

"I love you," Madara whispers, and there is a tenderness in his eyes as he brings up his wings to wrap about the Hatake's body, a a lovesick smile when Sakumo holds his face, repeats his words back and lets the night melt away in the background, a flickering candle against their flame.

He had first met Madara Uchiha on October 1st.

And he will know him now, forever.

[tobimina]

I think one thing that's fascinating about Naruto's fandom is the compulsive urge to make fix-its. I've talked abt this before: around here you could toss a rock and hit a 25k-word fic about preventing the Uchiha Massacre or some "what if [x] didn't die/what if [x] was killed early on". People form attachments to characters with 2 scenes and form full-fledged personalities for them just because of who they might've been if we'd seen more of them.

But what fascinates me the most is the adamance on ignoring that Naruto is based around militaries and thus will operate like militaries

See what I'm extremely attached to in the story is the political nature of the series. Believe it or not the funny ninjas are STEEPED in political responsibility and military themes. Up to the neck. EVERYTHING Danzō did was political, and thus every fallout was political. Every major event was political. Everything everything everything. All of these characters are in a military, and thus are a part of politics.

The reason the shinobi became shinobi is because they were militarized: they obtained chakra, and thus, something meant to be a tool for things like agricultural use became weapons. You can take a shinobi out of his military but you can't take the military out of a shinobi.

Not without getting rid of chakra and politics altogether.

And, well. I don't see too many Naruto fanfics aiming to support chakra-less anarcho-communism because chakra and jutsu are cool and we wanna use our ninja powers to have fun and all that. Obv the chakra is the hook of the series?? But. Point being, unless you go that route you CAN'T achieve peace in that universe. Really all you CAN do is play with your characters like dolls though. Sakumo's alive and he loves Kakashi very much!! Itachi isn't a war-torn toddler anymore!! That whole thing with Madara and Zetsu never happened bc Madara died a peaceful death and Zetsu never existed!!

#its endlessly fascinating playing around with the series

[lycheefreeze]

Took some random pair suggestions on discord and made up some kids!!

In order:

Kakuzu x Hidan

Tobirama x Minato

Kakashi x Obito (they named him Sakumo)

Naruto x Hidan

Madara x Tobirama

Which one is your fave? Who should I do for next time?

[kankuroplease]

what was the reaction of the husbands of your Ocs grils when they learned that they were pregnant (Au founders)don't forget Sho and Manda pls they are so cute 🥰

Pregnancy mentions under the cut 🤰

Butsuma (Asako’s husband)

He’s not overly excited about it, but he’s concerned. He’ll be stern about what she can and can’t do now that she’s carrying his child like she’ll listen

Tajima (Sumi’s husband)

He’s so ready for this, don’t play with his emotions, Sumi. A shaky “are you certain?” and he’s got the goofiest smile spreading across his face before he embraces her and tells her he can’t wait to meet their child

Kawarama (Okami’s husband)

Overjoyed! He’s peppering her with kisses and can’t even hide his excitement! Everyone is going to know he’s going to a father by the end of the week because he finds ways to just bring it up

Tobirama (Aori’s husband)

It’s a logical consequence of not exercising self restraint. He wasn’t jumping up and down, but he felt accomplished on the inside giving his wife something she’s always wanted. He’s adding food from his plate to hers from then onwards to keep her and the baby well fed

Itama (Gou’s Husband)

He’s relieved. Gou’s been sick, and now this all makes sense. They’re going to have a baby! He is happy and a little nervous about it, but he knows he can ask his brothers about what to do next.

Madara (Katsura’s husband)

“I suspected as much” he’s smug about it because he knew she was pregnant before she did. He’s getting an heir, so he’s satisfied

Kagami (miu’s husband)

He’s confused. He thought pregnancy was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but Miu is crying and blaming him for impregnating her? It takes a few days for the news to truly settle in, but he’s excited for this new adventure and will talk Miu down from her dramatic edge she’s not her grandmother, he’s not letting her go on missions pregnant. Sorry, dear

Rei (Sora’s Husband)

Scared and guilty feeling. Sora’s the one good thing that’s happened to him and if he lost her he’d be a wreck. It’s his fault not really, she wanted to start a family and he’s going to make sure she stays happy and healthy

Sakumo (Kōmori’s husband)

He’s caught off guard by her stating she has been sensing a a faint chakra growing in her over dinner. It takes a second to realize what she meant, but he’s happy. Happy enough to cry and kisses her sweetly

Suzaku (Erika and Aja’s husband)

He’s happy at first! Erika was the first to announce her pregnancy, which made Aja a bit sad as they’d planned to be pregnant together. Then he’s stressing. It wouldn’t matter to him if Aja was unable to carry children, but it mattered to her. So the relief he (and Erika) felt when it actually happened a few months later for Aja was enough for him to laugh. Two pregnant wives under one roof is stress he welcomes if they’re happy.

Orochimaru (Tora’s situationship)

Didn’t find out he was father until the child was a toddler. He found it to be an interesting development coming from Tora

Manda (Sho’s husband)

He’s a little embarrassed. It means everyone knows they’ve been having unprotected sex 💀 But he’s really happy! Building a family with Sho is beyond his wildest dreams.

Father & Son

Day 5, leggo. This was uh, a better idea then what I did with it! Someday some better author will take this and write something better with it, because .. im very not happy.

Kakashi & Sakumo

3732 words

mentions of suicide and suicidal thoughts (damn it sakumo!)

Ao3 link [x]

for @teamminatoweek Day 5: Resurrection

Hatake Sakumo gets the Edo-tensei treatment and Kakashi learns he has some things left to say.

As if the battle wouldn’t already be hard enough against Madara and his hordes of White Zetsu, the shinobi alliance is also faced with enemies that are reanimated loved ones or legendary ninja with special abilities. That this is done on purpose to rile up the hearts and minds of the alliance fighters is obvious, but doesn’t make it any less easy to deal with. Additionally, most of them are also very skilled fighters and their time in the grave apparently did not diminish their abilities.

So Kakashi is just done sending Zabuza and Haku back to their well earned rest, when a breathless and sweating shinobi of his squad, originally from Kumogakure, stops in front of him. “Kakashi-taichou”, he breathes heavily, putting his hand into his arms. “I ran here as fast as I could…” Kakashi almost drops the sword he is holding when the other man tells him the news.

It isn’t the greatest choice to abandon his current spot with his squad and run into the opposite direction, but Kakashi knows this specific reanimated person was his to deal with, they were animated to deal with him as well. Maybe their clash has always been coming. It doesn’t take Kakashi long to catch up with another group of shinobi fighting a mix of Zetsus and reanimated people that Kakashi all together does not know. He only knows one of them, or used to know him.

His hair is as long as it is in Kakashi’s memory, hanging in a ponytail over his left shoulder. The sleeve of his undershirt is swaying in the wind while his right hand is holding the tantou that should actually lay at home in Kakashi’s apartment. The eyes are as dark as the eyes of any other reanimated person so far, but Kakashi can still make out the light in them that he has missed so much over the years. His father is right in front of his eyes, Hatake Sakumo.

Kakashi stops for a second before jumping into the scene, something inside of him hesitates just a little to take the leap. Technically, his father and him had a good talk not that many months ago, in which they talked at length about their time together, their time apart and his mother. But here Sakumo is again, swirling and dancing around opponents by a force that is not his own.

Finally, he puts himself together. The leap comes easy once he has jumped and he lands right behind his dad, who swirls around to try and attack him with his tantou. Kakashi has the kunai out fast, spins it in his finger so he can defend himself and push his father back. They are a mess of legs and hands fighting each other before either of them says a word. Kakashi is convinced though that he can see a light cross his father’s eyes.

“You came”, Sakumo says when they separate long enough for him to talk. “I knew they wanted me to fight you specifically, but I thought you might be very busy.” Flattery, Kakashi thinks but he just lifts his eyes slightly: “You are my responsibility.”

Technically, Sakumo has always been Kakashi’s responsibility, at least most of Kakashi’s life. When he was small maybe his dad had been there to be the one who shouldered all the burdens of the family, but as soon as Sakumo took his life all of the family burdens had moved on to Kakashi where they still reside. 

Sakumo laughs: “Yes, I figured you would say that.” A pull to his body forces him forward, his fingers weaving signs to infuse a jutsu into the knife. Kakashi hasn’t really seen his father fight, at least not at full force, so he resorts to only dodging at first, who knew what the old man had in his sleeve.

“You’re great”, Sakumo notes with unmasked admiration. “You are strategizing how you can counter my chakra nature and you can do that even in your weakened state. You’ve really become such a great shinobi. I always knew you would be.” 

A shuriken passes by Kakashi’s ear and he turns around to let his eyes find Sai on stand-by with his scroll for sealing. Sakumo doesn’t seem like someone that can just easily be trapped via a shadow possession jutsu or mind transfer one either, this would need to be a decisive victory and it needed to be fast.

“Thank you. You’re not so bad either for someone who has had no training in 25 years”, Kakashi gives back with a wink and then quickly forms an earth wall to shield himself from an incoming white lightning. So his father also has the lighting nature, he thinks and realises he never knew. There is just so much about him that he didn’t know ever.

“Can’t you tell me what your abilities are, so that I could take you down?” Kakashi asks and he ignores how his heart feels when Sakumo smiles back at him. His father used to have this very proud way of looking at him, as if Kakashi was the most important thing that had happened to him. But if Kakashi had been the most important thing that had ever happened to Sakumo, why did he … The thought spiral was always the same.

His father has no issue defending his legs as they find him. “I think you should be able to figure this out yourself, Kakashi. This is a teaching moment! Something I never got to do for you” Sakumo smiles and lets Kakashi's ankles go.

Somehow, this innocent comment sends something in Kakashi’s mind off. “Well, you could have. You chose not to.” He notices his voice is colder than he expected it to be.

Father and son stare at each other for a moment, Kakashi takes the time to press his left eye close to save more chakra. Sakumo’s eyes darken a little, but when he talks again the smile on his face is lopsided and thin: “I’m sorry about that, son. You are right of course.”

Kakashi turns a kunai in his finger and presses out a: “It is okay, dad. It is in the past.” But he feels in his heart that the resentment is still there. Sakumo jumps forward again and their weapons meet in the air, loud noises echoing off the tree trunks around them. Once they are close to each other Sakumo says: “Is it really?” And Kakashi nods so quickly that he doesn’t even have time to consider it.

For years he has gotten so good at burying the feelings about his father deep down. At first he used to hate Sakumo for what he had done to himself and to kakashi. The resentment had driven him into the deepest hole of grief he had ever found himself in and in the end only his friendship with Obito and Rin had pulled him out. Then he had for years tried to forget his father. Not look into the mirror to see how similar his face was getting, how their eyes were the same.

Eventually, just a few years ago, he had settled on accepting that his father had troubles, that living had been hard for him and he hadn’t seen another way. That didn't make it better, but at least it gave Kakashi a possibility to turn the page, to finally leave the chapter Sakumo behind him. Then their fireside chat had happened and Kakashi found himself open to forgive.

Still, seeing him now here, laughing, chatting, fighting, praising his son, Kakashi can not help but feel that bitterness again that he felt as a child. If only Sakumo had been a little stronger, a little more resilient for his son, then they could have always been together like this, but instead Kakashi had to survive on his own for all of life.

“I don’t think it is fine,” Sakumo deduces from just watching Kakashi’s movements. It is basic knowledge that fighting another shinbi opens up more information about them and neither Sakumo nor Kakashi ever really could fight each other. “I think you are mad. You should be mad.” Sakumo throws a kunai infused with lightning and Kakashi defends it with his own.

He puts his hands in his pocket and slouches as he tends to do: “I’m not a child anymore. I was mad then, I am fine now. You did what you had to do.” It's wrong to say it that way, but he says it anyway.

“Don’t you think I was being unfair to you for leaving the way I did? I would not blame you if you were”, Sakumo mentions and Kakashi gets the feeling that his father intentionally tries to rile him up. Maybe they do have the same self destructive tendencies, well his father had killed himself after all.

But Kakashi is not in the mood to play games, what he needs to do is get his father in a chokehold so he can be sealed. The more he looks into his face, the more he misses their time together and the more memories flood back in. Kakashi is good without his father, he’s made it so far, he doesn’t need his childish feelings to come back now.

“I’m good. We should send you back to - mom though don’t you think.” Kakashi can’t help his voice dying before he mentions his mother, who he never got to meet. Sakumo too stops in his tracks at the word coming out of his son’s mouth. The edo tensei seems rather odd like that, it allows the reanimated person to regain complete consciousness over their body if they could get their own memories back. 

Sakumo shakes himself and for a moment it seems like he broke the seal, but then he goes back into an attacking stance. “I would love to go back there,” Sakumo says, “Tell her how great of a person, a leader, a hero, her son has become.” They clash once again. “How proud we are of him. He had to do so much on his own.”

It is bait. Kakashi can smell the bait. His father is fishing for an anger reaction. But Kakashi learned how to deal with these emotions long ago. He doesn’t need them anymore. On top of that he has trained himself not to get angry easily, so his father might try, but he would not get far by provoking him.

“I can’t imagine how hard it must have been, and you did it all so well, grown up so strong and -” Sakumo’s sentence was cut short by a galloping lion who had tried pinning him down. 

Kakashi looks over to Sai and shakes his head at him. No, they probably would not be able to seal Sakumo like they had others before him. Not only is he a much more skilled shinobi and hard to pin down, but also Kakashi doesn’t want to see him on the ground like this for some reason. The idea that his father would be held down by two big animals, even when drawn, just makes him feel uncomfortable.

But then again everything concerning his father makes him feel weird. Including the smile on his face, the hair in the wind, the way he speaks so casually. Until their talk by the fireside Kakashi had completely forgotten his fathers voice and while it was now from months back on his mind, it shook him nonetheless to hear it again now. And the words he was saying…

“Kakashi”, Sakumo says with a smile, “It is alright to be angry at me, you know. I’m angry at myself. I abandoned you. I was a coward.”

“You were a hero, the village shouldn’t have treated you the way they did” Kakashi replies and it feels like he is just repeating what he told himself for years before this. After all, it isn’t a lie at all. The village should have treated Sakumo, who objectively made a good choice that saved lives, better. But did that justify leaving a five year old behind? “You had it hard”, he adds quickly.

Sakumo steps forward, as if he is now in control of his own body, as if he is willing his own body to move when he shouldn’t be able to. He is just about an arms-length away from Kakashi when he stops and says softly: “But you had it hard too. I left all the problems I had accumulated up to you. It was a selfish move through and through.”

Kakashi looks up to his father for the first time for real. Before he can hold back he is already asking the question that's been on his mind for years: “Did you even think about me? Was I on your mind that… that day?” He feels like a child.

“Yes and no,” Sakumo replies. “I thought of you and assumed you would have a better future without me around. I thought of myself mostly though, how I just couldn’t take the stares anymore. I didn’t want to meet anyone or see anyone or talk to anyone anymore. I tried not to think of you too much, because it might have changed my mind.”

Kakashi breaths out sharply now, something deep inside him quivering as if he feels a little sick. His father continues: “I thought if you don’t have to see me anymore, if nobody has to see me anymore, then it would be alright. I thought you’d be relieved.” His voice is breaking as he says the last part of that sentence.

It’s that voice quiver that hits Kakashi the hardest. He can feel his heartbeat against his chest, the childish pain that he’s been burying coming up like lava through a hot volcano. When he speaks his voice is angry and shaking: “But it was not alright. Instead of you they stared at me.”

“I’m sorry to hear that,” Sakumo says and lifts a hand to put it on Kakashi’s shoulder. Kakashi doesn’t know where the sudden urge to be bratty comes from, but he pushes his fathers’ arm away and takes a step out of his range. HIs fingers are shaking now.

“You say you thought of me, but then you also say you thought of yourself first. That’s just not what parents should do. You left when I needed you and I had to be by myself. I was only 5! I was too young to understand why you did what you did and I needed a caretaker. You didn't even consider that because you were so held up in your own issues. And maybe you should have considered that, as you were my parent. My only parent.”

Sakumo’s arm slumps down, but the smile stays on his face. When Kakashi looks up his father was still looking at him. “You are right. I should have,” Sakumo says calmly.

They seem polar opposites. With Sakumo smiling calmly through the onslaught of accusations and Kakashi getting more and more angry the more he was saying. As if all the things he had held back as a kid and a teenager now broke out in one big storm.

“You know I had to organise the burial and the wake on my own. I had to stand and listen to others talk down on you day by day when I was young. It took me years to find myself again, maybe I never have until now.” He stops for a moment to bring his thoughts together. Then: “I always admired you like a god. My personal hero. And when you left me I think it was such a personal betrayal that it took me until meeting Obito to remember that.” 

His fathers mouth opens, but Kakashi answers the question before it can be asked. “Obito was my teammate. We were four. But now there is only me left. Do you understand that? I lost everything I had when I was 14 and you weren’t there. When Obito was crushed to death or Rin was impaled or the fox killed my teacher. You were not there and you should have been.”

Sakumo smiles and nods: “I agree with you. I’m sorry.”

“As- as if an apology can just set it right. I understand you know, Dad, I’m over it. I’m an adult and holding onto childish resentments is just making your life harder than it should be. That doesn’t mean that at the time it wasn’t incredibly hard. The way I took might have made me strong, but I would have endlessly prefered not to have to take it in the first place. Do you know they say I should be Hokage?”

Kakashi does not know why he tells his father this. Especially since the discussion about him being hokage tires him so much. He doesn’t see himself as a leader at all, even if they’d made him commander in this war. 

“Is that so?” Sakumo asks and steps forward towards Kakashi again. “I can see why. They all seem to listen to you and admire you very much.” He makes a gesture to the people around them. Kakashi looks around him to see people from his squad squaring off against Zetsu one one side and the sealing squad standing ready for him on the other. They all look as if they are awaiting his instruction with bated breath. Kakashi doesn't like when people stare. He looks away.

He’s being childish. As if his father’s appearance made him five years old again.

“I was in ANBU for ten years. It made me a person I hated, but for that time I didn’t want to be myself. My fave always reminded me of you and my eyes always reminded me of Obito and I wanted to be neither. I just didn’t want to be at all. Dad, in those times, I thought often of just following you.” Kakashi has never admitted that truth about himself out loud.

Sakumo steps forward and this time Kakashi lets him touch him. His father pulls at his sleeve and draws him in. It isn’t a hug, but they are very close to each other now. “But you did not”, Sakumo whispers in his ear. “Because you are a more noble, stronger, less selfish shinobi than I ever was.”

They are standing there together, body to body. Kakashi is taller than his father, he realises. “I wanted to be angry at you when we talked last time,” Kakashi says. “But I was just so happy to see you again.”

“Yes, I was also happy to see you again”, Sakumo replies and draws Kakashi a little closer still. “I am happy though that you were honest to me now. I think you can only forgive and move on if you face those feelings. Wouldn’t you agree? What would you tell the students you love so much?” 

Kakashi chuckles: “Yes, I would tell them exactly that.”

For a while they just remain like this, then Kakashi asks: “When did you break the seal that bound you to the shinobi that reanimated you?” For a while Sakumo’s body has done exactly what he wanted it to, no show of any unwanted attacks. “Oh, pretty early on. I just wanted to fight you a little. I thought that would be interesting”, Sakumo explains and tucks in a “Sorry.” He seems a little embarrassed.

“Your verdict?” Kakashi grins now too, just under his mask.

“Oh, you’re perfect. You’re everything. You’ve always been everything. I should have known that 25 years ago.” His father’s hand bumps lightly on Kakashi’s shoulder.

His words somehow make Kakashi choke up and he has to avert his eyes. He is in a war after all. This kind of emotional manipulation is exactly why Sakumo has been revived in the first place. 

“I think you should let them seal me,” Sakumo says as he finally draws back from their embrace. Kakashi looks up at him and squirms. Somehow the idea of his father disappearing again makes him uneasy, even if it is the right step. No, it is better this way. His father was dragged back to this world against his will and deserves some rest.

Kakashi looks up and smiles: “If you so wish.” 

Sakumo steps back and gives Kakashi the opportunity to call Sai in. The boy walks over slowly, looking from the older man to the younger version of him. It is then that Kakashi realises suddenly how similar they look. He is almost as old now as Sakumo was when he died, of course they look similar. 

“Kakashi-sensei?” Sai asks carefully and it is Sakumo who answers with a little laugh: “Would be very nice of you if you could send me back to my wife, I have kept her waiting long enough.” 

After nodding his head to Kakashi and getting the go ahead, Sai summons his sealing animals that jump forward to crawl on Sakumo. Kakashi doesn’t like the look, exactly like he expected he wouldn’t, but his father is smiling above it all. 

“I’m so glad we got to talk about this,” he says and sounds genuine. “I always felt like you deserved to yell at me a little. I’m glad you did. You’re such a good kid.”

Then, suddenly, as if a gush of wind had picked up, Sakumo’s hair started scattering in tiny pieces of paper. Sai noticed immediately and his jutsu dispelled into black ink that fell on the ground around him. Somehow Sakumo had been released by himself, maybe by the feeling of having closed a chapter that was still unresolved. 

Slowly paper was flying off, piece by piece. Kakashi stepped to his father again, so close that he could talk quietly to him only. “Please give my best to mom,” he said. “I can’t wait to see you again soon. Both of you.”

Sakumo, who’s lower half had all but disappeared at this point, bumped his head into Kakashi playfully again: “Don’t let it be too soon.” Then he looked up and added: “Oh there is something I should have told you back then that I couldn’t.”

“What is it?” Kakashi asked.

“I love you.”

With the next gush of wind, he was gone again.

“I love you too, Dad,” Kakashi said into the empty space in front of him.
