I just want Kakashi's biggest problems to be "Obito got hot" and "everyone desires my father carnally" instead of "everybody I've ever loved is dead," is that too much to ask?

Guys, I need a TITLE

the concept of orochimaru and sakumo having been a thing is so funny to me, especially from kakashi's perspective. imagine your government-assigned babysitting charge runs away to go live with an evil scientist war criminal. who is also your stepmom. you speak of this to no one

They are so in love... Sakumo gets seduced shamelessly and he is proud of that.

Naruto edits in the year of our lord 2023

AKA my boruto parentage headcanons/'fix-it's

1. Ino-Shika-Cho

I love Chouchou with all my heart, she is perfect. Inojin comes in two variants: SakuIno and SakuInoSai. Shikadai is Shikamaru and Neji's child, or for those enlightened (me and like. 2 people), he's the child of Shikamaru, Neji, Tenten, and Temari. His hair is not as spiky as usual Nara hair, so I gave him the ponytail from Iruka lol.

2. Double trouble / SNS fraternal twins

The non-cursed version only (the alternative is a mini karin and a mini menma and. no). Kishimoto already made Naruto accidentally canonically transmasc so... Also, Boruto's red hair - inherited from Naruto, or skipped a generation from Kushina? You decide! They also both have the capacity to awaken a sharingan, of course.

Sidenote I wanted to make their skintone darker as well but I am simply not skilled enough with editing to make it look good. I'm using firealpaca.

3. Baby Snek

And finally, Mitsuki my beloved son, child/grandchild of Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo. In my daydreams I like to age up Rogu to be Kakashi's half-brother and in Naruto's age-group, and then have Mitsuki as his son. And traditional Hebi no Hatake clan markings, of course!

A Solitary Echo

(Fic/Art collaboration with @beluageist for the 2022 Naruto Big Bang event.)

Ship: Hatake Sakumo/Orochimaru

Rating: General Audiences

Summary:

As Sakumo studies Orochimaru in earnest, it’s his eyes that catch Sakumo’s notice first. They hold a manic, almost despairing look; one the Hatake recognizes all too well. One like so many comrades he’s stood next to on the battlefield, facing certain death while desperate to live.

It's also an expression that he sees in the mirror every morning while thinking acidic, hateful thoughts. Thoughts that corrode his will. Thoughts that make him forget his son, his village, and everything he has left to live for.

I’ve exhausted the sakuoro tag on ao3, and now I don’t know what to do with myself 🙃

(i’m glad we didn’t actually get to see Orochimaru’s Infinite Tsukuyomi dream, but like, could you imagine if he and Tsunade both dreamt about Jiraiya being a perv? glorious. nearly funny enough to make me forget how tragic it would be if they dreamt of Sakumo and Dan respectively 🥲)

Why I like Sakumo x Orochimaru

I just looked up Sakumo x Orochimaru for the first time here on Tumblr despite me reading every single SakuOro fic there ever was, and apparently people don’t like it? I mean, I suppose at first, I was skeptical as well, like? How would that even happen? They didn’t even interact with one another. But then I eventually fell in love with the ship, probably because I like Orochimaru lol.

So first, let me talk about what I like about Orochimaru, or at least the Orochimaru that exists in my mind. I am under the impression, from the flashbacks, that Orochimaru wasn’t all that bad back when the Sannin was still complete. Jiraiya and Tsunade were there for him and made sure to keep him in the light. As we see during the time when he offered to kill off the three orphans. To me, that shows that Orochimaru was morally gray even before, but I don’t think he was malicious during that scenario. Think of it this way, they were orphans in a war-stricken place in a shinobi world, they would steal for food and they’d be able to survive, but time will come where they’d be caught and killed or taken and sold. Either way, had Jiraiya not stayed with them, they were going to suffer regardless. So, in my eyes, Orochimaru believed he was being helpful. (Or maybe I try to look too much for a good side in people lol I’m working on it I swear)

Then Jiraiya stayed behind with the orphans. Then Tsunade left. Then Sarutobi was busy with his Hokage duties, and we all know Orochimaru wouldn’t run to him for help anyway. And suddenly, Orochimaru was all alone in a village that barely tolerated him. Because the villagers didn’t really like Orochimaru like how they adored his two other teammates – who left the village in wartime might I add! Furthermore, he was also grieving because I assume that Nawaki was his student since he was with him on the mission that eventually killed him and his teammates. 

He was isolated and grieving without his two anchors. He was already morally gray even before all of this happened, so I see why he had ended up doing those horrible experiments. He started becoming obsessed with eternal life back when his parents died, now with his genin team dead and his teammates leaving him, I can see how he’d end up the way he did. And I bet my entire arm that Danzo had a hand in how Orochimaru eventually started with the experiments. Who else would provide him with orphans to experiment in but that ugly, slimy, disgusting, war-hawk bastard? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not excusing Orochimaru’s experiments because those are horrible and he deserves death at least 100x, but also, what if he wasn’t alone and he had someone to keep him afloat before he even went down that road? That’s where Sakumo comes in.

We are all suckers for aloof morally gray men with golden retriever boyfriends! Admit it!! Okay maybe not all of us, but I bet a lot of us like that pairing! I adore those pairings aaaaa

I’m not incredibly certain regarding the timeline of when Sakumo died and when Orochimaru left, but let’s pretend that after Tsunade left Sakumo was still alive. What if Sakumo was there for Orochimaru when his teammates left him and his genin died? What if, in return, Orochimaru was there for him when the villagers were being stupid and hating on him for saving his team? What if they were there for each other before everything went bad? It’s all of those “what ifs” that makes the Sakumo x Orochimaru ship really attractive to me personally.

Side note: I also like how good of a parent Orochimaru is to Mitsuki and I want Kashi to have a nice childhood that’s all.

I’m not saying everyone should ship SakuOro because that’s silly, we all have different tastes and I know a lot of Naruto fans aren’t fond of Oro and that’s perfectly fine! I just wanted to give insight on why I, personally, like the ship. <3

Fluffffff

not a direct illustration of blackkats A Snake In the Grass, a Wolf At the Door

thinking about a sakumo/orochimaru black-haired kid Kakashi 🤔 everybody knows Sakumo's son doesn't quite look like his father, but his mother's identity is a secret nobody can pry from either of them. Konoha's White Fang and Black Wolf...

I have thoughts. But mostly I wanna see Kakashi with black hair.

im having hadestown au thoughts involving naruto

so basically its hades!orochimaru and persephone!sakumo

eurydice!sasuke and orpheus!naruto bc gosh darn i may not fully support sasunaru but it fits the hadestown narrative pretty good, especially since all i can think of is hades!oro and persephone!sakumo bc it fits sooo goood (or maybe actually switch them and make sakumo hades and oro persephone)

and everyone remembers how sasuke was being chased after by oro in cannon

but due to au stuff it would only parallel both hades town and the anime not be a carbon copy

unfortunately i cant draw it because of a weird combo of art block and burnout(eww yucky) and the general busy schedule
