*Obito and Kakashi at a store* Obito: Thanks again for helping me, Bakashi. I had no idea what Rin might like for Valentine's Day. Kakashi: I'm just shocked that you've finally gotten up the nerve to confess to her. I had bets going with Minato-sensei on how long it'd take you. Obito, scowling: Love your confidence in me. Okay ... *they come to a section of stuffed toys* Which kind should I get her? What kind would YOU want? Kakashi: I'd want the pink wolf, but, Rin might want the bear? Obito: No, I'll get the wolf. You two have similar tastes. Kakashi: You better hope so ... every single thing you got for her is something that I'd pick for myself. The flowers, the candy, and now this toy ... Obito: *takes the things up to the register* Have more faith in yourself, man. *Obito pays and the two head outside the store* Kakashi: Well, I'll get going home, now. I don't want to be a third wheel when you take these things to her. Good luck! Remember to -- Obito, blushing: Um ... um ... *holds out everything in his arms* T-these are actually for you ... Kakashi: W-what? Obito: I wanted to be sure that everything I got you was something you'd really want. R-rin suggested I do it this way, to break the ice. I ... I've wanted to confess to you for the longest time, but I wasn't sure how you'd react. Obito: *chances it to take Kakashi's hands in his own* Obito: Bakashi, I love you, and it would make me really happy if we dated. W-what do you say? Kakashi: *Kakashi drops Obito's hands, and Obito panics, thinking he made a horrible mistake* Obito: O-oi! Hey I'm sorry, please forget I said that stuff, I don't want to lose your friendship or -- Kakashi: *reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a small, neatly wrapped box* Kakashi, blushing: F-for you ... *Obito opens the box with shaky hands to reveal two hand-carved beads on a silver chain. One bead is a small cat, the other a dog* Obito: K-kakashi -- ! Kakashi: I wanted to give this to you for a long time, too. But I didn't want to stand in the way of you and Rin, because you two are my best friends. But if Rin understands, and you feel the same about me, then ... Obito: *grabs Kakashi's face and kisses him* YES! Kakashi: *blushes and hugs Obito tightly* Yes. And now that we're boyfriends, can I tell you something important? Something said with total honesty? Obito: Of course! That's the only type of relationship I'd want to have with you! Kakashi: Okay. Your mouth tastes like sour cream, ramen, and dango. I don't know WHAT kind of insane diet you have going on, but I think it's something we need to work on. Obito: Obito: Maybe total honesty isn't the best thing ...

today seems to be chat day for me, so while i'm at it already...
what's up with the hatake and the whole wolf contact, nomadic, wild clan? i don't wanna say a hc is wrong bc it's a hc.... but this is possibly the wrongest hc i've ever seen
everything abt hatake we know is hinted toward farming. kakashi = scarecrow, sakumo = crops, hatake = field, and their clan symbol resembles a rice field. what about that screams nomads??? wolves???
i assume it must be bc sakumo is known as the white fang, but otherwise... that's it. like, sorry but it just doesn't fit
first of all, the inuzuka clan already exists, and it's kind of cheap to make the hatake clan a copy paste version of them, but bigger and more feral bc "wolves are cooler than dogs"
it's perfectly fine to think that the inuzuka are not feral enough, i actually agree; they could be wilder imo. but the foundations are already there - fandom could simply expand on them. tsume's dog is practically a mean wolfdog already, you could just take what's already there and mold it to your tastes
secondly, this whole "pack" hc in which the hatake see family above all elese and form their own packs could not fit kakashi less if you tried. the man lost his team and shrugged it off. when they came back, he had no issues adding sai or giving them over to tenzou. he loves his team, but he is not possessive over them and has never been. that's not expansion of what could've been anymore, that's outright out of character
thirdly, kishi didn't leave us with absolutely nothing abt the hatake. their names are already hints. it's hinting at agriculture. you could come up with so much worldbuilding with this, how the hatake mostly only used ninjutsu for farming, how sakumo and kakashi broke those traditions and became both top shinobi konoha's of their time. not to mention who kakashi's mother might've been...
i'm obviously not saying ppl shouldn't enjoy their hcs, i am only saying that it's crazy the most popular fanon abt the hatake became the one that directly opposes the only bit we were given canonically
fanon somehow jumped from farmer to nomads and wolves of all things, all the while the inuzuka already exists, and most ppl don't even seem to realize it...

~~~
Warmth
When your eyes opened, the clock read 4:32 am. You stared at it in bewilderment, wondering why you’d woken up so early. You were an early riser, but your body normally woke you up closer to 6. You shook your head and rolled over, trying to get into a comfortable position so you could go back to sleep.
But as soon as you moved, you felt it. That dull, throbbing ache in your abdomen that you were cursed with every month. You normally kept good track of it so you could get ahead of it with painkillers, but this month, it caught you off guard by arriving a day early.
You sat up, a low groan escaping your lips as your hand pressed against your belly. You carefully glanced down at Kakashi, but he was still sleeping on his side of the bed, undisturbed. Relieved, you crept to the bathroom and fished out your supplies from under the sink.
Once you were certain no blood was going to leak, you grabbed the bottle of painkillers from the cabinet. You shook two out and clung to them like a lifeline as you snuck back across the apartment. You carefully opened the fridge and pulled out the jug of water, then poured it into a mug that had been hanging from the wall. You wolfed down the pills and chased them down with the water, praying they would kick in soon.
“Everything ok?”
You sighed as you heard Kakashi’s tired voice come from the bed. “Don’t worry about me,” you said. “Just go back to sleep.”
Kakashi walked over to you, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “Too late, I’m already worried,” he said. “What’s wrong?”
“Cramps,” you muttered, wincing as another wave hit you. “I’m sorry for waking you.”
He immediately closed the distance between you, pulling your back into his bare chest and wrapping his arms around you. “I’m sorry,” he said.
You relaxed into his hold. “You don’t have to be sorry,” you said. “You didn’t do anything.”
“No, but the woman I love is in pain,” Kakashi replied. “And I want to help.”
“There’s not really anything to do at this point,” you said. “I’ve taken medicine, so now all I can do is wait.”
He gently kissed the top of your head. “Do you want to stay here and wait, or would you be more comfortable laying back down?”
“…Laying down,” you replied.
A moment later, you pouted at the loss of his warmth against your back as he released you. You returned to your bed, curling up in a fetal position on your side.
Kakashi knelt in front of you and tenderly stroked your hair. “Are you comfortable?” he asked.
“As I can be,” you replied. A cold shiver passed through your body, causing a fresh wave of pain as your muscles tensed.
“Cold?” he asked.
You nodded.
He pressed a kiss against your fingers, then pulled the covers up around you and tucked you in. “I’ll be right back,” he promised.
You nodded, watching him curiously as he walked to his closet.
He reached in and pulled out a little stuffed dog. He then walked over to the microwave and put the dog inside.
“Kakashi?” you asked, confused.
“It’s a heating pad,” he explained, holding up his hand. “Don’t worry, I’m not going to burn the apartment down.”
“Oh,” you said. “You just…had that?”
“No,” Kakashi said. “I bought it last week to give to you next time you had cramps. I just wasn’t expecting it to be so soon.”
A tear trickled from your eye. “Kakashi…”
The microwave beeped. Kakashi pulled the plush dog out and brought it to you. “Here,” he said.
You reached out from the blankets and took the plush from him. It was so soft and just the right temperature. You settled it against your stomach, relishing the warmth as it soaked into your muscles.
Kakashi’s smile was as warm as the dog’s. He rounded the bed and slid in behind you. He snaked one arm under your neck and the other over your waist, pressing his chest against your back once more. “Feeling any better?”
“Starting to,” you replied. You laid your hand over his, savoring the warmth he added. “Thank you, Kakashi. This really helps.”
“Of course,” he murmured. “You know if you ever need anything, all you have to do is ask, right?”
“I do.”

Just had a LOT of thoughts on first Gai and Kakashi. (It was a sad one) in GOS.
What if this was Kakashi's first mortal friend. Like Kakashi knows about humans and how they work in theory! After all its been a few hundred years and (s)he's a very bright child, thank you very much!
But this may be one of the first times he made direct contact with a human, specifically one who is his own age (maturity / physically wise)! And who made such a scene trying to get to him and who was funny and kind and sweet and who LOVED his dogs- and he's like:
"...new friend! FIRST FRIEND. BEST FRIEND. THIS IS GREAT!" He's going to get his dad, and Tenzo, and all these other gods to get these humans up to speed because the tribe's a bit behind the other humans he knows and who worship gods. They only knew about 4 gods, which is not enough! There is a lot to learn. But he'll do a lot to get his best friend and his funny dad up to speed! ("See Gai's dad? That's how you should be." *nudge Sakumo* "That's how you be cool.")"
But... Kakashi... doesn't fully understand what it means to be mortal. And every time he leaves, Gai gets bigger. He's changing. The tribe is starting to look like a proper village but his "brief stints away" can go from many months, to years in between.
And Gai still fills him in of what happened in his life and all the progress being made every time they meet. He teases Kakashi about growing taller than him. (At some point he's like "look Kakashi! I think you grew an inch!" And Kakashi is beaming for months!). And maybe Kakashi actually tells Gai about being a boy and wonders how to tell his dad... and Gai, who now is an adult at this point gives him some advice and how his dad and him would talk about anything.
And that's the first hint Kakashi gets something is off because he just realized... he hasn't seen Dai in a while. Its been three visits. Where is your silly old man?
And Gai has to explain his dad died five years ago...
And Kakashi... is confused but... he tries to rationalize it. Its sad he missed that but he's also confused because... Dai was right there. Just a little while ago. Its liked he blinked and he was gone... and its hard to process for Kakashi.
But Gai is alright! He grew a silly beard like Dai had too so...he has to be okay right? He'll still be here when he comes back!
But Kakashi has not processed just how fleeting human lives are. And so when he meets Gai again after taking a bit of time to process all this information, the next time they meet, Gai has white in his hair. He just accuses him of copying him!
On Gai's part. He too adores his friend. Especially when they were young/ first met, he had a crush on them. Even after they told him he was a boy the crush stayed. And he tried to copy him and do what he said bringing agriculture to the land with his papa. Trying to make dogs happen with the wolf (instead he just got MORE, slightly-less-mean wolves!!! Domestication is taking a while.) Learning about the gods Kakashi introduced him to or taught him, dancing in the rain, cheering on every storm that passed through!
But as Gai grows older, the friendship remains the same, but the crush fades fast. Because he realizes... he and Kakashi will always be at different wave lengths. Kakashi is wise, intelligent, and clever... but he's a child. And when Kakashi pops in talking about things that happened years ago like it was yesterday, he fully understands the difference between them. And he never takes the relationship for granted, he loves how youthful Kakashi can be make him feel young again but its like... he knows he's now the adult in the situation, even though Kakashi has all the power.
Before he grows too old, he makes one last trip up the mountain. And makes the mural of Kakashi and his dogs. Adding more for dramatic effect, and also making Kakashi seem older and more masculine, because even that's not how Kakashi looks to him now, its how Kakashi mentioned he would want to look. And although Gai knows he'll never see it, he hopes Kakashi will get his wish and this is what he'll look like some day. He sends a prayer and a thank you to Kakashi, asking him to come see the art when he has time. And a thank you for all he's done for the village and himself. And he goes back down the mountain.
Kakashi hears the prayer but he's a bit busy. So he makes a note to check on it soon! And when he does, he LOVES it. Its a bit dusty, but he loves it SO much and he goes to tell Gai all about it.
But by the time he makes it to Gai. He's not....in the village any more. And he can't find him anywhere. He ends up asking around and eventually someone understand who they're talking to... and leads him to a grave.
Gai died one year ago.
And Kakashi learns this way...how short a mortal life really is.
To make it worse reincarnation may not be a thing yet and may be something Obito experiments with in a few hundred years so to him...it was the end of his first mortal friend.. and it would be forever. And he wasn't there for it.
Its probably the only lifetime Kakashi isn't there when Gai passes. But also the first time he ends up flooding the world over his friend's death.
(I could see his dad needing to comfort him after this happens.)
(Sorry again if this was long)
Was I right about any of that?
Oh gosh Kakashi flooding the world because the sadness overwhelms him abd he’s still working on control.
He didn’t mean to hurt people. His intention was never to take lives
But it’s what happens.
The realization hits him and suddenly there’s water flooding everywhere, consuming the workd. Hashirama and Mito have to act fast to organize the gods and save people, but a lot of them still die
The great flood is the first instance of the terrible reality of Kakashi’s rain’s. They’re life giving, but they can also just as easily take life in an instant.
Obito see’s this and doesn’t want to see his brother hurt like that (mimicking how Obito in cannon doesn’t really want to see Kakashi hurt. He wants him to live in a dream world where he can stop hurting) so he takes that bew soul he got that he hadn’t thought too much and places it in the sky.
It’s not the first star, but it’s among the first and it’s the first one Obito saves for his brother. The only one he ever saves for Kakashi.
And then he starts experimenting with reincarnation. There’s some failures and a lot of learning to do, but a few hundred years later while the people of the village are still in a very basic agricultural state (far away from any major growth. Let them take their time) he finally gets it and brings Gai back, but he doesn’t tell Kakashi because he wants to make sure it really worked
But the. Gai grows up and challenges a god and everyone comes to realize just what Obito did

List under cut
Fair warning: It's long :)

Gen Kakashi-centric fics:
Renegade by @/pbjamas - Teen - Multi-chap - Complete- Graphic depictions of violence, Major character death - Gen - Missing-Nin Kakashi, Whump Kakashi, ANBU Kakashi

(Mind tags) What if the Hatake clan was blessed by gods, a teensy, little more unhinged (just a tiny bit), and a lot more powerful? This fic explores that and man is it good
Shadows, Blinding by Pesto - General - Multi-chap - Ongoing - Creator chose not to use archive warnings - Gen - Hatake clan lore, Family secrets, Dog-teeth Kakashi
(Mind tags) Kakashi dies and wakes up in a valley full of people that have familar hair and eyes.
Peak "everyone is hiding something" vibes. When the author tagged family secrets, they weren't kidding. Everything is layered and Kakashi is trying to get back to his kids while also trying not to succumb his clan traits.
I love the Hatake Ocs in this fic. Akio is such an asshole, I love him. Nana is scary sjdjsjd
Year of the Ghost by scrappybook - Teen - Multi-chap - Ongoing - No archive warnings apply - Gen - Canon divergence, Greif/mourning, Anbu Kakashi, Slice of life
Kakashi retires shortly after the Kyuubi attacks the village. Two words: Farmer Kakashi. For all the domesticity in this fic, I love how Kakashi is still involved in politics. Also him innovating Fuuinjutsu for domestic use instead of combat,,,, waa I love when fics explore that.
Wolf-Nin by Scribulus - Mature - Multi-chap - Ongoing - Graphic depictions of violence - Eventual Kakashi/Zabuza, MinaKushi - Time travel, Wolf-instincts, Cannibalism, Blood and gore, Body horror, Good Orochimaru
(Mind Content warnings and tags) Kakashi dies 36, wakes up in his 6 year old body, and decides he's going to drastically change the fate of his village. Canid summoning contract my beloved, Kakashi goes absolutely feral in this fic and it's glorious. Featuring Mentor!Orochimaru :D
Team Minato-centric Fics:
Alone No More by Emily Violet - Teen - Multi-chap - Ongoing - Graphic depictions of violence, Child abuse - Gen - Misunderstandings, Hatake clan lore, Team Minato as family, Major character injury
An exploration of what if Kakashi was hated by the village similarly to how Naruto was treated? Except now, Hatake clan lore is at play.
And other things Kakashi did not hallucinate by cyan96 - Teen - One-shot - No archive warnings apply - Gen - Kind of crack treated seriously, Anbu Hatake Kakashi, Jinchuuriki Nohara Rin
Kakashi thinks he's hallucinating his dead teammates that occasionally stop by and make sure he's self-caring. Idk how a fic can be so funny yet so gut-wrenchingly sad, but this managed to do it and it's great. I go back to this once in a while because I love this concept sm
chasing visions of our futures by @/kirpyee - Teen - Multi-chap - Complete - No archive warnings apply - Obkk - Anbu Kakashi, Anbu Obito, Anbu Rin, Jinchuuriki Nohara Rin, Hurt/comfort
Kushina is put in charge of taking care of the aftermath of Team 7. *holds this au gently* ah I wanted to sucker punch Danzou in the jaw soooo badly while reading this. It was marvelous <3 Also Bamf!Kushina and Minato facing the consequences of his inactions (he's still learning) my beloved
the dog who dies is the one who is mourned by hallowed nebulae - Teen - One-shot - Major character death - Obkk, implied Kagumo - Self-esteem issues, Graphic character death, Minato is a bad teacher (He tried though)

Before the Morning Comes by myadamantiumheart - Explicit - Multi-chap - Ongoing - Graphic depictions of violence - KkObiRin- Jinchuuriki Nohara Rin, Running away, Uzushiogakure, Team Minato as family, Rin-centric
Fic summary: Or, the one where Team Seven runs away and builds a better world on their own. I have no idea how to word my thoughts to describe the sheer amount of love I have this fic. All that I can say is that these kids are just kids and deserve a break and oh my god does this fic deliver. Also, the politics is top-tier.
To Be Given A Second Chance (God, We Didn't Ask for This) by why is this a thing now - Teen - Multi-chap - Ongoing - Graphic depictions of violence - Gen - Time Travel Fix-It, Team Minato as family
After passing, reconciling, and accidentally being given a second chance, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin are once again alive and are going to change their fate and future. This is part of the let's do teh time warp again series by the same author. I also recommend reading Akatuski no Tobi - The Fuckening 1 and 2. It's the same au, now further in the timeline with KkObiRin and it's hilarious.
the rabbit child who danced in the moonflower fields by Digi Noir, hallowed nebulae - Teen - Multi-chap - Discontinued - Creators chose not to use archive warnings - Obkk, Past Kagumo - Hatake clan lore, Hatake clan is from Uzushiogakure, Worldbuilding, Self-hatred, Panic attacks, Nonbinary Kakashi
I recommend reading the fic summary, if I even try to remotely summarize it, I'll have several paragraphs. This is an incredibly interesting take on the Hatake clan and I absolutely love it. Kakashi is not only carrying the burden of his father's death but also the culture of his clan and the lasting effects of colonization from the Uzumaki clan, physically and mentally.
nothing lasts by @/kirpyee - Mature - Multi-chap - Complete - Graphic depictions of violence, Major character death - Obkk, MinaKushi - Human experimentation, Anbu Kakashi, Root, Torture

SJDNFKJADF SCREAMING AND CRYING Team Minato does not get a break in this fic and ahg my heart </3 Some people also made alternative endings, I recommend go reading them as well :D
Team Seven-centric Fics:
And So, The Sensei Supports His Students by ihopethelightwillshineupon - General - Multi-chap - Complete - No Content Warnings - Gen - Team as Family, 5+1 fic
A series of disconnected stories with Team 7 from different ages as they all grow and Kakashi tries to be a supportive teacher, its really cute :]
How to Make a Team by Pleasedial123 - No rating - Series (Incomplete) - 2 completed multi-chap works - Creator chose not to use archive warnings, Canon-typical violence - Gen - Kakashi is a good teacher, Team as family, Medic-nin Uchiha Sasuke, Bamf!Sakura, worldbuilding, politics
Just typing out the name of this series has me all giddy in my seat. Kakashi decides to take his grief and the reflections of his old team and motivate himself to stop history from repeating itself. The worldbuilding, headcanons, and characterization are all phenomenal. If you are looking for a good Team 7 as family series, I cannot recommend this enough.
Theif-Nin Sakura by Hemerodromus - Mature - Multi-chap - Ongoing - Graphic depictions of violence, Major character death - SakuIno - Bamf!Sakura, Sakura-centric, Chakra theory, Kakashi is a good teacher, Politics, Kakashi becomes Sakura's mentor
While cleaning the corpses off the bridge (read: corpse looting), Sakura finds a scroll to Haku's kekkei genkai. And so the Copy-Cat teaches the Klepto-Kitten Honestly the idea that kekkei genkai can be replicated with super fine chakra control is so galaxy brain and I love this concept sm.
Dance of the Dog by Tartarun ff.net ao3 - General audiences - Multi-chap - Ongoing - No archive warnings apply, Canon-typical violence - Gen - Sensei Obito, Missing-nin Kakashi, Rin lives, Bamf!Sakura, Team 7 as family, Politics, Everyone is lying, Empty graves
Fic Summary: "Kakashi loved Konoha a little less and his father a bit more. What happens next changes the face of history. However, Team 7's destiny years later is still wrapped with the silver-haired man's and an intricate dance begins." Fic is being edited and uploaded to Ao3, but ff.net has more chapters. THIS FIC. I cannot put into words how much this fic makes me froth at the mouth and make me want to commit 20 different felonies. Everything is so interconnected, character interactions and dialogues are heavily loaded and the sub-text is so tasty. You never truly know what the character's motivations are, what they are hiding, and how they are using others around them. Everyone is lying and eventually, everything happens at once. If you want to know how fucking good this fic is, even though the summary outright tells you Kakashi is alive, how the author presents it, it's nearly impossible to tell if it's Kakashi or not if you haven't read it. And in terms of the narrative? That makes sense. The characters can't tell if Kakashi is even alive or if that is Sakumo, or someone else completely.
Everyone is morally grey and using each other and It Is So Good.
Hellbent by LuckySeven - Mature - Multi-chap - Ongoing - Graphic depictions of violence - SakuNaru, IruKaka, InoMari - Missing-nin Team 7, Fuinjutsu master Sakura, Medic-nin Sasuke, BAMF Naruto, Kakashi is a good teacher, Politics, Team 7 as family
Orochimaru tells Team 7 the truth about Naruto's parents and Sasuke's clan back in the Forest of Death. As a result, the genin decide the village is not for them and Kakashi is there to keep his kids safe. Uzushio rep FUCK YEA. From protective Kakashi to Fuinjutsu and Medical theory, this fic is amazing. There are actual stakes present and what goes on in the shinobi world is not just isolated to Konoha. All of the factors and groups are at play in this fic are incredibly engaging and makes the world seem more active and lively.
It’s Just That Any One of Us Is Half Without Another One Is You by Branch - Mature - Complete - Graphic depictions of violence - SakuNaruSasu - Team 7 as family, Kakashi is a good teacher, Medic-nin Naruto, Spy Sakura, Politics
Itachi stays the villain, Madara has no manipulated minion to do his bidding, and Team 7 is not a repeat of its predecessors. Really nice character exploration that is actually consistent. Kishimoto could never do what this fic did skdfaldf It's so good
Shinobi: Team 7 by Gallyrat - Not rated - Multi-chap - Indefinite hiatus - Gen - Worldbuilding, Politics, AU
An AU where the author completely rebuilds Naruto from the ground up. Naruto's true lineage is properly hidden, Sakura's knowledge in history becomes far more useful, Sasuke is trying to live outside of the shadow cast by his brother. Konoha and all other major hidden villages have a history that is far more intertwined. Power balancing is reasonable and realistic and the author still stays true to canon characterization. Also, Danzo's role as a necessary evil for the good of the village actually makes sense and does justice to his character. (It was this fic that introduced me to the idea of Root Commander!Kakashi, and I've been hooked on it since)
Time travel/Dimension Hopping: (I have a lot of favorites in this type of au, I'm a sucker for this trope <3)
me wa kokoro no kagami; the eyes are the window to the soul by BoyGirlBothNoneImTheUniverse - Mature - Multi-chap - Complete - Creator chose not to use Archive Warnings - Gen - Team 7 as family, body swap, Time travel au
The first work in the Kishikaise series (incomplete), where Team 7 travels back in time. Things go a bit different than what was expected and political shenanigans ensue and Team 7 has to find a way to play with the cards they have been dealt.
Nidaime Otokage by DuskBeforeDawn - Mature - Multi-chap - Incomplete (last updated in 2019) - Graphic depictions of violence - Gen - Team 7 as Family, Team 7 are little shits, Kakashi is a little shit, Kakashi-centric
Kakashi and Team 7 wake up in the past and alternate universe to that of their own. The two groups must now navigate the new world while trying to find each other. It's crack taken seriously, and great.
Once More With Feeling by Chicken Train and Laser Beam - Mature - Multi-chap - Incomplete (Last updated 2019) - Gen - Kakashi-centric, Politics, Time-travel au
Don't let the fact that it's only 5 chapters long and last updated in 2019 fool you. It has 130k+ words and It Is A Fic To Read. If you like unlikely team-ups, I think you'll like Kakashi, Tsunade, and Jiraiya in this fic. The characterization is fucking amazing. The plot? *chefs kiss* Power balancing and character arcs are handled so well AND it has one of The Most Satisfying character death scenes that I have ever read. Just utter the line "Do you deny it?" And I will go ape shit insane at a flip of a switch. The entire time, in that scene, you KNOW Kakashi was playing with his food, only dragging it out for his enjoyment and to make him feel fear. Even better: The authors spent 3 hours getting a whole ass cake with "Ding Dong our problems are gone" in icing to celebrate killing off that character. If that doesn't show you how much love, dedication, and effort is put in this fic and I don't know what will.
Saving the World (On Accident and Through Other People) by xwannaflyx - Teen - Series (Ongoing) - 3 completed works - No archive warnings apply, Canon typical violence - Gen - Kakashi-centric, Sensei Orochimaru
Kakashi goes back in time to save the world with no plan, only to inadvertently do that when Tsunade realizes how much of a hot mess Kakashi and Orochimaru are. I have a huge weak spot for aus where Orochimaru becomes Kakashi's mentor, especially when the both of them are super dysfunctional, out of touch, socially awkward prodigies. They're trying their best <3
Love Will Find You (This Is a Threat) by @/sthene - Mature - Multi-chap - Ongoing - Author chose not to use archive warnings - ObKk, SasuNaru, SakuHina, ItaRin - Team 7 as family, Fairy-tale elements, Mythology, Good!Obito, Slow burn, Kakashi is trying his best, Everyone needs a hug
Infinite Tsukuyomi was set off a bit too early, and Kurama was forced to transport Team 7 to another universe in order to save them. Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke now are forced to navigate a world so closely alike yet oh so different from their own. All the while, a lot more things seem to be at play.
With the number of times I draw, write theories, scream, yell, cry, or just straight up go ape shit insane about this fic on this blog, how can I not include this fic? Every scene and chapter is so beautifully written and detailed. Not knowing the full story, every detail is loaded; even the imagery is a hint for what is to come (THE FUCKING TREE AND WOLF PUNS). The characterization and headcanons are *Chefs kiss* The angst will make you scream, cry, and you will love every single second of it. Team 7's dynamic is amazing. It's balanced with fluff, and I love Sthene's take of an alternate universe where Team 7 are the ghosts of their loved ones. If you love to overanalyze details, Hatake clan lore, world-building, Japanese mythology, and fairy-tale elements, this fic is for you.
failures to learn from, not dwell on by lavilleons - Not rated - Multi-chap - Incomplete - Author chose not to use archive warnings - Hatake Clan lore
Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi die in the Fourth Shinobi War, only to wake up nearly 3 decades earlier and with the knowledge of yet to come. Unsure how to stop the fate of the world, they try to prevent the village's first failure that they can realistically enact at their age: Hatake Sakumo's death.
One of the most unique time-travel fix-it au's I've read in terms of plot. The Hatake clan headcanons are great and I love kid!Kakashi in this fic, he's such a little shit sdflakdfsnlsidf
Wolves of Fire Country by Midnite Republic - Teen - Multi-chap - Ongoing - Creator chose not to use archive warnings, Canon typical violence - Eventual Kakashi/Izuna - Slow burn, Hatake clan lore & headcanons, Team as family, Warring states era
Another mission gone awry, Kakashi and his students find themselves decades in the past and now need to navigate it. Love the Hatake clan history here
Time Waits for No Man by LaughingWombat - Teen - Multi-chap - Complete - No archive warnings apply - MinaKushi - Kakashi-centric, Team Minato as family, Politics, Hurt/comfort
Hokage!Kakashi gets sent back in time from an assassination attempt and finds himself in his 12 year old body. He has no idea whether or not his actions will affect the future he fought and suffered so hard for. I love the conflict in this fic sm. While you would understandably get frustrated by how each character reacts to Kakashi knowing the future, it's understandable. The moral dilemmas and misunderstandings flesh them out so well.
Enemy of the World by Kelakair - Teen - Multi-chap -Ongoing - Creator chose not to use archive warnings, Graphic depictions of violence - Obkk - Dimension hop, Edo tensei, Hatake Sakumo lives
Tobi accidentally ends up in a parallel universe where Sakumo lives and Team Minato is still united; the ideal world. Obito decides to destroy it all.
I am just. a small creture. you must not know how much stress i am in. *chefs kiss* to all the twists and turns
Blinding Loyalty and Bitter Hearts by Myst Marshall - Mature - Multi-chap - Ongoing - Graphic depictions of violence - Major character death - Gen - Body swap, Missing-nin Kakashi, Anbu Root Kakashi, Murder mystery, Revenge, Betrayal
Two Kakashi's from different universes swap I'm a sucker for body swap au, but holy shit the author is swapping two au!Kakashi's. It's incredibly intriguing to find how the same characters differ so much from each other and where that point of divergence begins.
Three's A Crowd (But Pack Sticks Together) by ShiiroiKitsune21 - Multi-chap - Complete - MinaKushi - Canon-typical violence, Jinchuuriki Kakashi, Third Shinobi War, Team Minato as family
Kurama and Kakashi are the last surivors after Kaguya decimated everyone. In a desperate attempt, the two go back in time and Kurama is sealed in 12 year old Kakashi. The writing in the first couple chapters can come off as a bit cheesy, even the author admitted that when they went back and edited it, but when it picks up, oh it picks up. It's one of my favorite comfort long fics to go back and read on, I love how you can see how the author progresses in their writing over time.
buried alive series by @/doggoneloser - Teen - 1 completed, 1 ongoing work - Major character death - Gen - Kakashi-centric, Third Shinobi War, Hurt/comfort, Parallel universes
Kakashi dies during Pein's attack, goes back in time, decides to fix history at the cost of himself. This was the first Kakashi time travel fic I have ever read and MAN did it get me hooked to this trope. An absolute great read that I've gone back to time and time again <3

scars like wings by hyugesoo - Mature - Multi-chap - Ongoing Graphic depictions of violence - Gen - Child soldiers, Kid fic, Kakashi-centric, Animal instincts
A crossover with the anime, Noragami. The God of War and Calamity, Yato, is reborn into Kakashi.
I'll be honest, I never watched Noragami but the writing does really shine through with Yato's characterization and his past before he became Kakashi. I wasn't as lost to the story of his character. Also, I love the Minato in this fic. He may be a parental figure, but he's still training child soldiers

A BNHA crossover: Kakashi dies in Pein's attack and is reborn as Shinsou Hitoshi. I have never read or watched BNHA, but this au and fic has me HOOKED. Just the idea of Kakashi getting a normal childhood and actually getting the affection and love he never had as a kid is an easy way to get me invested. I also recommend checking out the Road to Nowhere Extended Universe, has a lot of great fics inspired by this au.

I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED AN AU LIKE THIS UNTIL NOW (this fic was posted this week while I was making this list and I went: Oh shit yea, I'm definitely gonna rec this nvkwsflakdsd) Kakashi and Gojo are a force to be reckoned with, poor Suguru didn't sign up for this

JJK crossover: Kakashi dies in the 4th war, Obito curses him, and ends up as Satoru's older brother. Also, Obito is attached to Kakashi as a dormant curse. It was this fic that pushed me into watching the anime and reading the manga. AAAAA IT'S SO GOOD. I went back so many times rereading the chapters. I love Kakashi and Satoru's brotherly relationship, I love how Kakashi still has to deal with chakra exaustion. I love the worldbuilding and incorporation of chakra and cursed energy sdflakdnsjdhf everything is so gooooooood

Team seven is broken, people are dead, and Sakura is hurt and frightened and a very long way from home. Alternative summary: In which Sakura carries half of Hidan across two countries, leaving a trail of blood, bodies, and other people's legs."

Pink Fang by Avulle - Teen - Multi-chap - Ongoing - Graphic depictions of violence - Gen - Sakura-centric, Kakashi is a good teacher, Chakra theory, Bamf!Sakura, Politics, Sakura is a little shit
Fic summary: "One day, after a particularly unpleasant failure of a mission, Kakashi takes a detour through the civilian quarter of Konoha and stumbles on a little pink-haired civilian girl who performs a flawless transformation technique with the wrong set of hand seals."

Naruto Fic Rec Masterpost!
Tumblr media
Adoption by Defenestration; or, A Family Can Be A Fox Demon, Its Jinchuuriki, and Three Dozen Highly-Trained Assassins  by elumish Oneshot, Gen, Fluff, child neglect, Naruto gets unofficially adopted by his anbu guards and it’s incredibly cute Summary: He will not be the ANBU who let the jinchuuriki plummet to his death out a fourth story window. Let that be another ANBU’s legacy.
Being Over-Prepared is Impossible (and other mottos)  by Pleasedial123 Longfic, Gen, Team Seven, team as family, Bamf Kakashi, Bamf team 7, au, kakashi pov, Complete but part of a three part series and the third part is still ongoing, still highly recommend, what team 7 should have been, Skilled Teacher! Kakashi Summary: In one world, Kakashi awoke, felt grieved at being assigned a team he sees his own in, and he let that grief make him a lazy teacher.  He saw himself in Sasuke, Obito in Naruto, and Rin in Sakura. He woke, saw himself in them, and took a large step back, regretting accepting them as his new team.  In that world he was quite hands off - merely a watcher because it was so very painful to watch. He saw himself and all his mistakes in this new team of his. 
In this world, Kakashi awoke, saw the similarities, and instantly panicked. 
He suddenly realised what he had done, passing a team.  Kakashi was left scrambling not to repeat old mistakes and regrets. This team would not suffer the fate of his team.
In this world, simply put, Kakashi became a teacher.  This is the beginning of a new team seven.
Something in the water by maldoror_gw  Oneshot, Gen, Teen and Up for language, hilarious, Tsunade pov, fluff, mild crack, pre-shippuden post naruto,
Summary: "Sakura...what is that man reading?" Tsunade asked in a dangerous voice. Sakura's gaze twitched away from her ex-teacher to her new - and temperamental - mentor. "Erm...a book...written by a...well-respected member of the community...about...romance?" Tsunade noted with passing approval that Sakura was demonstrating both loyalty and quite a lot of imagination in defending her one-time team leader (who was now trying to edge around a pillar to get away from Tsunade's venomous glare).
backslide by blackkat Time travel, time travel fix it, mature, fluff, team seven, m/m, slow build romance, Naruto adopts himself, Uzumaki heritage, bamf Naruto, complete longfic, Summary: Naruto’s friends are gone, his lover is dying, Konoha is destroyed, and Madara’s second return has pushed the entire world to the brink. Hunted and harried, Naruto is sent back in time to upend Madara’s plan before it even starts, and sets about changing everything. Butterfly effect nothing: the world is at stake, and Naruto is hardly about to let it fall to ruin once more. Not while he’s still breathing.
Tobirama Kicks Some Sense Into Konoha by allseer15 Hurt/comfort, whump, emotional whump, time travel, fix it, time travel fix it, The ‘what if Tobirama came to the future saw an orphaned Naruto and adopted the shit out of him’ Fic, Iconique, child neglect, child abandonment, fluff, so much fluff, completed longfic, look I have a weakness for the time travel fix it trope at the best of times but this fic is good even looking at it without focusing on that! Prolonged Tobirama content, Senju lore, senju feels, Summary: The Hidden Leaf Village in Naruto's time seems to have forgotten just why the village was founded and have lost their way.  Through a mishap with a hiraishin seal, Tobirama finds himself during Naruto's time and he is having none of this nonsense. His brother may be gone, but he won't stand to have Hashirama's dream trampled so. And if he has to cause a civil war or burn the village down to the ground? Well that depends on how much resistance he meets. All Tobirama does know for certain is that no child will suffer underneath the protection of Konoha and if he has to take them in and care for them himself, then he will.
Hardest of hearts by blackkat Oneshot, Gen, look I really like blackkat’s naruto fic okay, part one of a completed three part series, all three parts are great, Fix its are the best, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Time Travel, Time Travel Fix It, Orochimaru redemption story, the sheer shadenfreude of one baddie fucking over another baddie, in this case Danzo, Obito has a ‘bad guy but not that bad of a guy’ solidarity moment with Orochimaru at the start and I loved it so there’s that, featuring a low key constantly horrified at this turn of events Minato,
Summary: Orochimaru gets one more chance. Just maybe, it will be enough to save him—and the entire world as well. 
A Snake In the Grass, a Wolf At the Door by blackkat Mature, Completed ten chapter fic, Orochimaru redemption story, Orochimaru/Kakashi’s dad, you read that right, quality Sakumo content, Families of Choice, Humour, Fluff and Angst, somewhat crackish, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, baby Kakashi being a cutie Summary: Orochimaru is on the edge of breaking when someone unexpected pulls him back to solid ground. When the time comes, he returns the favour.
Nukenin by WhisperingDarkness Gen, dimension travel, team seven, team as family, Kakashi actually being a good sensei even when he’s not a sensei at all, possessive kakashi, Team Seven is his team, Kinda Fluffy, Protective Kakashi, the ‘this might as well happen’ adaptability is real, Kakashi adopts team seven and team seven adopts kakashi, even though he’s illegal, 4 chapter fic, marked as complete as author doesn’t plan to continue it, but even taking these chapters as stand alone this fic is great,
Summary:  In the sealed scroll he finds a Bingo Book – his own page marking him as an S-class nukenin with flee-on-sight orders.  “Ok. That is definitely different.”  In his head he blames Naruto – even if his number one unpredictable student had been nowhere near him on this mission. When things go this stupidly impossibly wrong it must somehow be the future Hokage’s fault.
Ear to the Wall by Vodkassassin Ongoing, it’s really really good though! great Kakashi content, Minato is very stressed and I love him, Sickfic, Hurt/Comfort, whump, PTSD’d Kakashi gets to relive his childhood but gets a little bit of a real childhood along the way, ADHD Rin, time travel fix it, look I like what I like and what I like is fix its and time travel apparently, Kakashi adopts Orochimaru before he descends into douchbaggery, Orochimaru Redemption story, everyone is alive,   Summary: The Minato-sensei beams at him, and replies, “Kakashi! I’m glad you’re awake,” and, yup, that’s Minato-sensei’s voice. Kakashi falls back down against the bed, closing his eyes. It’s too short of a way down, and he clenches hands that are too tiny and feeble and not his in dog-print sheets he hasn’t owned for decades.
How To Save The World With No One Even Realising by IncompleteSentanc (Erava) Gen, Teen and Up, Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death, time travel fix it, Canonically Accurate OP Team 7, SuperBadass!Sakura, SuperBadass!Sasuke, SuperBadass!Naruto, RegularBadass!Shikamaru, Canonically Violent Sasuke, Equally Violent Sakura, Saving The World One Murder At A Time, Various Jinchuuriki, Team 7 As Super Villains, Doing Super Villainy Stuff, Like Murder, And Professional Eyeball Removal, Poor Obito, Poor Minato, AKA The Worst Four Months of Minato's Life, And Everyone Else's Too, Dark Humor, Bittersweet Ending, Dark Comedy, Crack treated seriously, completed 3 chapter fic, Well worth the read, Team 7 To The End! Summary: Minato knows at the beginning of the week that it's going to be a hellish one. Mostly because it starts with the kidnapping of one of his two remaining students, only a year after they'd lost the first one. He just doesn't realise at the time that it's not going to be a hellish week - it's going to be hell for quite a bit longer than that. It all starts with Rin's kidnapping, and her subsequent rescue at the hands of a mysteriously appearing, monstrously strong, murderously violent woman. A woman with cotton candy pink hair. It only devolves from there.
Just Killing Time by Elizabeth Culmer (edenfalling) Gen, Oneshot, Short and Sweet, Classic of The Fandom, Ficlet, Team 7, Kids being Kids, Fluff, Fluff and Humour, Slice of Life, Cute Kids
Summary: After Wave Country and before the chuunin exam, Team 7 kills time while waiting for Kakashi to show up. 
there lies a trail of fire behind us by BowAndDagger Gen, Madara is extremely confused but mostly on board, Time Travel au, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Bamf Naruto Uzumaki, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Except Zetsu, Alternate Universe - Time Travel, Fix-It, Founders Era, clan wars era, Pre-Slash, POV Uchiha Madara, the Completed part one of an Ongoing/Incomplete series, completed 4 chapter fic, Summary: As he returns from a mission, Madara makes a strange encounter with an even stranger shinobi. Then, he’s summarily kidnapped to go on a quest to save the world by said weird shinobi. (He absolutely did not choose to follow the stranger on his own free will. He was kidnapped. He did not give chase. He did not.)
A Political Perspective by VJ Riddle  / MueraRashaye Ongoing, Possibly (Probably) Discontinued, Teen and Up, Gen, Team 7, training montage deluxe, Konoha is a murder village, Good Teacher! Kakashi, AU, slowly developing into Bamf team 7, Bamf Kakashi, slowly developing into Team as Family, lots of fun ideas, not crack, Minor Spoiler: Zabuza and Haku get x’d before their character development gets its chance to shine in this fic, Sometimes people don’t warn for that in the tags and it can be a dealbreaker in fic for me as I love those two, not a dealbreaker in the case of this fic though! Really good fic so far, kind of verging on dry in places but it always stays fun in the end with lots of interesting elements, I enjoy the character insight from the pov switching, and also how much of a headcase Kakashi is, graphic depictions of violence, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence,
Summary: Hatake Kakashi was a shinobi, and as a shinobi, the only people who could give him orders were his military superiors. The idea that a Council made up of civilians and peers was under the impression they could give him orders...displeased him. Or: He was ordered to pass Team 7. He was fine with that, until they actually passed.
Integrity by Liz_Starling Oneshot, Gen, Canon-Typical Violence, Canon Compliant, Integrity, Child Neglect, BAMF Uzumaki Naruto, Reflections on Naruto’s inner workings as a person, promises,
Summary: Naruto keeps his word. Some people are loyal to their families. Some, their orders. Naruto is loyal to the only thing he’s been able to count on; the promises he makes.
Foundation (Build It Higher, Bury It Deeper) by RayShippouUchiha Ongoing, BUT EXCELLENT, it made me cry, Naruto feels, 6 chapter fic thus far, Bamf Naruto, Bamf Tsunade, Naruto deserved better, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Canon-Typical Violence, Gen, Mature, Team 7, Uzumaki Feels, Abandonment, Tsunade gives Naruto the personal talk he deserved instead of finding out from a chakra imprint when he was dying, so we stan, I love this fic
Summary: It’s just… he’d thought, given his fight against Neji and then his confrontation with Gaara, that someone would finally really acknowledge what he’d done.  That beyond Iruka-sensei’s crushing hug and Kakashi-sensei’s absent pat, someone would actually notice that he’d won against both of them.
That he’d beaten a genius on his own and then had battled another jinchūriki to a stand still.
So while he hadn’t really expected to be promoted too he’d still ...

-Going Between Dimensions -
Part 20 - Slowly going back to normal
Hatake Kakashi x reader
Masterlist
Tag list: @ari-hatake15, @fuzzyfestcat
Tumblr media
When morning came around you carefully sneak out of the bedroom to not wake Kakashi. He seemed to still be asleep, and the more sleep he got the more willing he might be when it came to help you out with the whole situation you were in. Sneaking around silently in your own appartment is something you haven't done since Naruto was a baby, but it seems those 4 years helped that ability as you has sucessfully sent out Mirai for the groceries at ms, Tamichi's and made yourself tea without waking the copy ninja who were a light sleeper.
You carefully put your cup down and summoned your documents back. The small dream you had during the night might be the answer to the problems. The third and final unlock was named balance, and soo far it seems to go on emotions, meaning 1st stage and 2nd stage were just one side each. 1st were the good, 2nd the bad.. With a soft hum you started to write down your notes. You had to combine both sides, to get to the final stage.. To controll some of the darkness, you needed light. Dark thoughts can be controlled by happy ones, bad memories replaced with happy ones.. It just made sence. Almost making you look stupid for not thinking about it before. You had a smile on your face as you picked up the cup of tea and looked at the notes. It felt like you just had solved the hard rebux the teacher gave you.
Now all you had to do was convince Lady Tsunade to allow this training in a locked eria, aswell as making sure no one was gonna try to stop it. "You still working on that stuff?" You looked up at Mirai as he sat down, still the bag in his mouth. "Offcourse, I think I solved it too" you finnished the tea and got up before taking the bag from him to look inside. "She sent some food for you too this time?" your eyes fell on the wolf in front of you as you raised a brow. "The lady loves me.. Let her give me a bellyrub and I can have whatever" He took his food from the bag making you sigh as you watched him. For being a wolf he acted like a dog.. You rolled your eyes and went to put away the groceries while Mirai could enjoy his meal.
When it was all done you walked back to your notes. "what did you figure out soo far?" Mirai shaked his fur and tilted his head as he eyed you carefully. "Well, happy and negative thoughts.. Basically.. To controll black viper, I need to be able to balance it out with good thoughts" The wolf scoffed as he finnished his meal. "You think it is that easy? You know we are talking about pure negativity here" It didn’t sounds like Mirai belived in your theory that much at all, maybe he even had a point. "I know it would not be easy.. But if I active it on my own, we'll have a month to work on it.. And you should try to encourage me, you know? You are supposed to be the nice wolf, no matter the black fur of yours"
"I call it as I see it.. And that black cloak hurts like hell" You reached over and pats his head with a smile. "no worries, won't summon you this time.. Soo you won't be affected like that" You agree, the black cloak is something else.. More intense and almost burns your skin of.. If it's not controlled the negativity of it will destroy you, even the scroll said soo. It was not that you became more powerful having it all balanced, only a bit more.. But the chakra controll of it and being able to use all the jutsus equally would help alot.. "Well, We have to see what Lady Tsunade says before we do anything anyway.. If it all gets controlled we have one thing less to worry about." If you remember correctly it was just 7 months until the akatsuki would start to move, which gave little to no time getting stronger to make sure Naruto would be safe.. At the same time it means Sasuke needed to be saved aswell, before Orichimaru turned him into a vessel. Two big things coming up, and not enough time to prepare and get ready to save them both.
"I didn't know you were allready up?" You looked at Mirai who looked thowards the hallway. You followed his eyes and saw Kakashi standing there, before giving him a smile. "morning" You greeted and closed the notebook. "How long have you been up?" You held back a laugh as you could hear the confusion and sleep in his voice. "just a hour or two, had to get some things done" You got up and placed the notebook away. "tea?" When he confirmed with a nodd you walked to the kitchen to make him some, and even make yourself another cup since you had time anyway. You gave him the cup and let him sit down as you started on the breakfast. The sooner you both were fed, the faster you could go to the hokages office to request the meeting. "You still working on those scrolls aren't you" You turned around to look at him and nodded. "I do, and I think I have figured it out too.. Now I just have to do it" you made sure to put on the most innocent smile you could, since it always worked on people it should work on Kakashi too.
Kakashi just sighed in return, not ready to take the fight while you were standing there with the frying pan and spatula. "Why is this soo important for you.. Thats all I wanna know.." You made sure to look away as he pulled his mask down to drink, giving him his space. At least he asked this time, letting you belive he is willing to atleast listen to your views. "It has soon been 3 years.. You know whats coming.. For both of them" you put the eggs on the plate, togheter with the rest you had made. "If I couldn't beat Orichimaru then, I will have no chance now.. Not until I have full controll over my own chakra.." the plate got placed down on the table as you sat down. "If I can do this I will not have to worry about it loosing controll again.." the last thing you wanted was for something to happen to anyone you cared about.. At least by your hands..
"Do you know you can do this?" He had allready finnished his plate before you even had taken the first bite. "Yes, I know I can." Kakashi got quiet as you conntinued to eat. He didn't look impressed, more unimpressed as usual.. Why the man was always soo hard to read could be frustrating, but at least he might think about it since he asked. "If I agree to this, how long will it take?" He broke the silence when you had finnished your food. "From it being activated on my own.. I have a month to master it" You answered honestly. "and I belive It can be mastered in 3 weeks if I am lucky and well rested before" He gave a small nodd, before getting up and putting his plate away. "I need to read the documents.. And we need to talk with Lady Tsunade.. I still think it is to much of a risk.. But I get where you are coming from"
You looked at him, trying to hold back a grin. "You really mean that? You help me?" Kakashi scoffed a bit, but nodded as he looked back at you. "If you belive you can do it, I should too.. Even thought I don't like the risks" You wanted to jump at him and hug him, but held back as you knew he was not a touchy person. You smiled and got up as you went to get the notes before giving it to him. "Two brains are better than one, if you see something I don't let me know" You gave it to him, trusting he would actually read it this time. "I didn't know it was this much.." He muttered looking at the scrolls and notebooks in his hands. "well, this is actually not much at all.. It should have been more if you ask me" You could have sworn he made a face under that mask of his as he looked at it. "ok, Give me a week.. I read throught this and you rest up.. Then we see what happends" You nodded and smiled. "sounds like a plan."
You did as he said, spending the week relaxing and hanging out with Kurenai and Asuma. You needed that more than you had known, just catching up and be around friends. Just having the tea at the normal tea shop at the corner with some dumplings on the side meant everything to you, as long as it was with your friends. "soo have Konohamaru started his games with you yet?" Asuma smiled as he eyed you. "no? What games?" You knew Konohamaru had decleared Naruto as his rival, which was very cute. "Well, He is soon taking the Genin exam, meaning he is practicing not only the sexy justu... But also his hiding skills for when Naruto returns" Asuma said amused. "he is getting really good too"
"Don't even remind me of that jutsu..." You groaned.. "Hopefully he don't try it, I don't like to be suprised like that" Asuma shaked his head as he chuckled, calm as always. "Soo, all the kids are Chunin now.. How are you two dealing with it?" It had been months since the Chunin exams that was had with the hidden sand village.. And everyone passed, which was amazing for them. "I have more freetime, and missions.. But we are proud" The loving look he gave Kurenai always made you smile. It was cute to see your teammates togheter like that, happy and in love. And since Asuma was like a brother it just made sence to be happy for them. "Maybe you should ask Lady Hokage to get a team of your own? You have always been good with kids" Kurenai looked at you, head slightly tilted.
"I don't think I have whats needed for that.. I have enough on my plate as it is" the soft chuckle leaving your lips made your friends nodd. "Lets not wait too long until next time.." You finnished your tea and got up. "This week felt too good, maybe I should retire?" You joked and gave them a small wave before you left the shop. All you had to do was some grocery shopping, and then go home and take a nap or read a book. You jump up on the fence as you normally do as you balanced on it thowards the shopping district. It was a habit at This point, something you always had done. "aren't you a bit old for that?" Kakashi's voice starttles you as you almost lost your balance, but quickly retrained it. You noticed him on the other side of the fence, almost right beneath you, reading his book.
"You really need to stop sneaking up on me while I am on the fence" You jumped down and looked at him. "On the fence for what?" He lifted his head a bit, looking over at you. "No, not like that.. Uh, forget it" You sighed, knowing he was just gonna try to twist the words if you tried to explain more. "Was the tea good?" He lowered his book as he closed his eye, showing a smile. "how did you?" he cut you off as he tilted his head. "I have seen you sitting there, had to make sure you actually took the week off as requested.." the way he explained it made you almost sound like a kid that couldn't sit still at all. "I know how to relax, belive it or not.. Even took the trip to the hotsprings and got a private one just to relax" You couldn't help but smile, it almost made you wanna go back right away.
"Between your usual reading and you spying on me... Were you able to read the documents?" your brows were slightly raised as you watched him, almost amused that he seemed to actually blush. "I didn't spy, but yes I did.. I come by you later with them and what I found out" The book got placed in his pocket before he crossed his arms over his chest. "ok, I am exited to see what you found" You were about to walk away, but stopped in your tracks as you remembered something. "ah, Guy was looking for you earlier... He didn't say what it was about, but he was asking for you" You smiled and walked off. Since you ran into Kakashi anyway, why not tell him Guy was asking for him.
When you reached the shopping district you got your groceries, and even added some ice cream to the list. Sometimes you just needed something sweet, and ice cream was something that helped no matter what season you were in. The week off had really done wonders, even though you had to caught yourself missing Kakashi of all people. It must be that you two had been working too much togheter... It was the only thing making sense. When you got home you quickly put the food away and got changed into some more comfortable clothes and sat down to have your ice cream and read the book you had been planning on reading the whole week. It was the ideal girl night, just time to yourself the book and ice cream. "something is missing" you mumbled as you placed the ice cream and book down. You ran into the bedroom and got the blanket and pulled it around yourself, almost walking around like a blanket ghost. You ran back to the couch and got comfy as you started to eat your ice cream and read the book.
The book was more exiting than you first thought it was gonna be. It almost made you forget you were eating ice cream all togheter. A little romance book was not that bad after all.. It didn’t have those cheeky stuff that you normally read, and it was written in a more realistic way. Normally you read what you could about ninja history and those kind of stuff, but it seems like you have missed out on good reading material in this world to say it like that. "How long did you expect me to knock on that door?" You jumped as the voice starttled you for a secound time today. "Did you knock?" You noticed Kakashi in your window as he just nodded and stepped inside. "Are you sick or something?" His eye narrowed as he look at you, almost suprised to see you tucked in a blanket with ice cream in one hand and a book in the other. "no, I am just having a good time"
"Like that?" he pointed at you, almost sounding amused. "Yeah.. This is a perfect way to spend a day off, ask any woman" You placed a marker in the book to not loose your spot as you put it down and made some space for him on the couch. "And who will I ask?" Kakashi sat down next to you and tilted his head as he looked you up and down, still amused by this whole thing. "I know I can't be the only one, thats all I am saying.. This is comfy.. And warm" You put the lid back on before getting up to put the ice cream away. Kakashi took your book and looked at it while you did that. He left out a little hum as he read the back of it. "when did you start to read romance?"
"Thats my first actually, it is good soo far" You walked back and sat back down before wrapping your blanket around you again. "What is it about?" He sounded almost to curious about this book.. You didn’t think he would even be intrested. "Well, soo far it is the same old as any other, boy meets girl, kind of thing.. I haven't gotten that far yet, but the way the writer describe it, it sounds kind of like a thing that actually could be a true story." At least the parts you have read soo far, but just being on chapter 5 don't give you much to go on. "I see.. Never thought of you would pick something like that up" He placed the book down. Kakashi was suprised indeed. If he saw you with a book it was about the shinobi, history or that kind of stuff. "Well, Kurenai let me borrow it.. She couldn't put it down when she got it. Soo far I can see why"
"But we are not here to discuss romance novels.. I wanna hear what you found" he nodded as he gave you back the notebook. "I gave Lady Tsunade the rest to look at, soo she could decide what team would work for this.." He explained as he opened the book in your hands to show his notes. "I came to the same conclusion as you.. And also it can help to have people you are close with around to make you focus" You started to read some of his note, almost suprised by his handwriting. It had gotten better indeed. "Soo.. I should have people there.... You think?" That did not sound like a option.. Not with the risks it had. "Yeah, choose two or three.. If you start to loose any controll they can snap you out of it" He explained calmly as he noticed your expression. "you don't agree with that do you?"
"Yeah.. It is bad enough that anyone has to be around during it.. In case anything happends.." You finnished reading his notes as you thought a bit. "I rather be locked in a room alone, than ending up hurting anyone.."
"Well, you can't.. You should choose who you wanna have there with you.. That was the hokages terms to allow this" Kakashi felt it was a small victory, that this might change your mind on doing this. He promised to help, but he didn't promise to make sure you got what you wanted in this. "ok.. Just have to choose the ones that actually have no problems kicking my ass then" His smile faded beneath his mask as he looked at you. "and who would that be?"
"You, Tenzo and Asuma.. You are stronger in many ways, and Tenzo and Asuma have no problems kicking my ass if they need too" You smiled as you watched his eye widen by your words. He was not expecting that combo. "No, I don't like it" Kakashi shaked his head and got up, not happy about this solution of yours. "Well, I can go with just Tenzo and Asuma too.." You shrugged. He knew he should have said minimum three people, instead of two.. "You have to make them agree then.."
"They will, soo that I'm not worried about.. All I need to do now is to prepare and plan a time to start" you felt confident about this, it was time to take the next step and finally be done with that part of yourself. "if you say soo.." He huffed a bit, putting his hands in his pockets. You got up and walked over to him, smiling as you had a idea. "Ok, vest off. Same with headband" You commanded as he backed away a bit. "what are you doing?" You hushed him and just smiled as you waited for him to follow the command. It took a few minutes before he took off the jonin vest and his headband. "good, I make tea, you get your book.." You grabbed the blanket and pulled it over him, and pushed him down onto the couch.
Kakashi did not look impressed as he was covered by the blanket in the couch. His hair pushed into his face because you made sure to put the blanket over his head aswell. "now, start reading, and I get tea" And a new blanket you thought for yourself as you ran out to the kitchen. When you came back with the tea and blanket he hadn't moved at all, making you giggle. "Hey, Don't resist it.. You will like it I promise" As you sat down you made sure to correct the blanket to make it more comfortable for him. "Why am I letting you do this to me?" his eye were on you, while you removed some hair from his face. "Because you wanted to try it?" His frown deepened, it was very visable even with his mask on. "no, thats not it"
The way he just leaned back in the couch not even trying to throw the blanket away gave it away. He liked it, just didn't want to admit it. You pulled the other blanket around you and smiled happily. "see, It is good, and comfy... Like a hug" You grabbed your tea and relaxed. For some reasion you both were back to the point you used to be as kids.. As long as you two were alone and no one could see you could talk him into almost whatever, as long as it didn't go across bounderies that is. He picked up his book and started to read for himself, he couldn't help but try it out.. since you allready had kind of gotten him to do this. "This is like the braiding thing all over again" He muttered in a low voice as he had his eye on his book. You looked over at him a bit puzzled before you remembered what the braiding thing was.
"I forgot about that.." it happened when you both was around 7, and you had finally been able to convince him to spend a day off with you. Since he was allready out on missions as a genin while you were stuck in the academy. "It was cute though.. You looked adorable with that little braid on the side" It wasen't a big one, just a small one and he even forgot to take it out too. The fact you just had to ask him once for him to agree was the most suprising.. At least with how he was back then. "Adorable? Do you know how hard it was to get it out?" It made you laugh a bit. He sounded soo fed up with that and it happened around 20 years ago. "I was 7, it was not like I was amazing at it.. And your hair was suprisingly softer than the girls at the academy.. It was a mission in itself" You shrugged, knowing softer hair were much harder to braid, at least when you were 7. "Maybe I am just to nice with you" He went back to reading. He might have a point there.. There were things only you were allowed to do to him.. Like Guy and him had his challanges he would never do with anyone else.. "Maybe, but you look comfortable" you grabbed your book and smiled as you started to read again, missing the blush on the exposed part of Kakashi's cheek.

Hello, snickiebear! Congratulations on your 200 followers! If you have the time, would you mind writing Shisui x Sakura in a nonmass au? I’m actually curious about your take on a time travel scenario with this pairing, but I also understand that a lot of works have been written on time travel already, so it’s still awesome if you don’t do the time travel part!
Congratulations again and thanks for taking the time to read this ask! Your works are really enjoyable to read. Thank you so much for writing and for doing this 200-follower event!
hello lovely anon!!! thank YOU for reading and requesting!!!! this one was so much fun to write! you ask for time travel + nonmass + shisaku? i am helpless to deliver!! this is a bit more angsty than i wanted but are we surprised? (nope, not at all lmao) this is also now on AO3 bc i really liked it!
also, apologies that this took a bit!! lifes been a real fuckin bitch and the wall of writer's block hit me like a train AHAHAHA but i hope you like this one!!! :)))
The sky is sunny and the spring beautiful when the sky splits itself in half with a brillant, blinding flash of light.
Shisui, masked and riding the after mission high, can only stare as a body plummets from that crack, limp and silent.
It is as if the heavens have spit out what they have deemed unworthy.
Or perhaps, the heavens are dropping a gift on their doorstep.
Either way, Shisui is moving before he knows what is happening, catching that body— a woman with shaven pink hair— and holding her close, head tucked under his chin.
She’s breathing, chest rising and lowering feebly.
Shisui catches his breath as the fracture within the sky closes and only then does he notice the mask.
Porcelain and painted. A combination of a snake and fox, a wolf and slug.
His ANBU team materializes next to him, Dog-taicho’s chakra going from lazy to alert at the sight of the woman. “That’s…”
“Yeah.” Shisui says hoarsely. “She- she needs medical attention. I think.” There is a lot of blood, she’s dripping in it. But he can’t see where she’s bleeding from… or if all that blood is even hers.
“Let’s go.” Dog-taicho cuts through his thoughts, voice hard and a bit panicked. Afterall, Kakashi owes his life to this woman, they all did.
Team Ro blurred out of existence in their race to Kohona, their Savior clutched within his arms.
.
.
.
It's funny, really. When she looks back, as she so often does now, it's laughable. The fact that Haruno Sakura, the civilian born, the nobody, the weak one of Team 7 is the only one left.
Sakura was the only one left in the war against Kaguya and she had done what she has always done; what was needed.
So, Sakura was the only one left and she figured out what was left of Naruto’s seals and shot herself through time to fix everything, to save everyone. To take down Danzo, Hanzo, Madara, to save Sai, the Uchihas, Kakashi.
She was the one to heal Obito, to save Rin, to make sure that Itachi’s hands would never be stained with his family’s blood.
And now, now she sits in a T&I room and she laughs, laughs herself hoarse because she succeeded, she won. And now she is in the future, her intended destination, but it is not the same.
In this future, Haruno Sakura does not exist. She is nothing and no one.
Naruto and Sasuke are alive and well and happy. They get to live the lives they could have only dreamed about.
And Sakura. She doesn’t exist.
She laughs herself hoarse, the laughs turning into broken sobs and she drops her forehead to the table, hiccuping and clenching her hands into blood inducing fists.
Alone. As she always has been.
The door creaks open and Ibiki steps in, a folder in hand.
Sakura’s head snaps up, wiping her face as she almost sighs in relief. She loved (loves?) Ibiki, he once was one of her closest friends near the end. She knows Ibiki, trusts him. Or, at least, she had.
Sakura straightens in her chair, careful of the chakra suppressing handcuffs that really do nothing for her, just acting as a hindrance. But, she does not remove them because she is not a threat to Konoha, she never has been, never intends to be.
Ibiki sits down in front of her, eyeing her carefully and it almost feels like coming home. “You say your name is Haruno Sakura.”
“Yes.” She rasps, licking her cracked and bleeding lips. “That’s right.”
Her eyes flit to the glass window, ignoring her own reflection as she narrows her eyes at whoever is behind the wall. An unknown chakra signature, wild and worried. And— and—
Kakashi.
His cool and lazy chakra, almost like a current of electricity. She would know that chakra any where, as if it is engrained deep in her bones. And right now he’s interested, almost antsy.
Swallowing, Sakura looks back to Ibiki, who had been watching her keenly. “You already had Inoichi-san do a mind walk. You know everything I do.” Shoulders back, chin tilted, spine steeled.
The dead man that sits in front of her hums and opens a folder, “We believe you—”
“It is not a matter of believing.” Sakura snaps, eyes flashing. “You know it is a fact. He saw, he showed you, you saw. How could I ever make something like that up?”
“What we know,” Ibiki says too calmly, too pleasantly, “Is that you are severely traumatized.”
And Sakura well, she laughs again. Because. Because what else is she supposed to do? She gives and gives and gives and is given nothing back.
There are no fruits for her labor, no reward for her sacrifice.
Shoulders shaking as she cries and laughs, scrubbing at her face. “We were friends, you know.” She manages. “I made you laugh twice, once after I lost my middle finger,” Sakura holds up her hand to show him, unsure of why she is even talking. “The second when you were dying in my arms.”
Silence rings out as Sakura gathers herself, swallowing harshly. Ibiki is still looking at her, but the way is no longer cynical, no longer studying.
“Haruno—”
“Just Sakura,” She says wearily.
“Sakura-san,” He continues, “When you were brought in you had a mask on. A mask that has been seen countless times saving Konoha shinobi.”
Sakura does not dare mention the fact that she has also interfered with Suna, giving Gaara the childhood he deserves. And with Mist, cutting the head off the snake quickly enough that the caste system would never truly solidify.
So, she nods. “I am aware.”
“And you claim you are the person behind the mask on every occasion.”
Sighing, she runs a hand over what is left of her hair and makes direct eye contact with her once friend, giving a curt nod, “I am the person behind the mask.”
“One last question, Sakura-san.” Ibiki murmurs, jotting something down in his folder. Sakura forces herself not to read the familiar writing. Though, she is well equipped to read upside down. “How did you come to possess the rinnegan?”
The air drops from mildly uncomfortable to freezing and Sakura does not balk at the question. “You saw it for yourself, Ibiki. It was a gift.”
“Yes, but from who?”
Her heart aches, squeezes at the thought of Naruto, of Sasuke, phantom pains. It is as if she has lost a limb, a piece of her heart when they had turned to ash between her fingers. But Sakura does not waver as she says, “It was a parting gift from Uchiha Sasuke before he died.”
The unknown chakra behind the wall erupts into a mess of emotions while Kakashi’s is mildly surprised if not wary. There is tension between the both of them though.
Which is incredibly amusing considering it wasn’t until much, much later did Kakashi ever see anything to be wary about in her.
(It took her flicking the ground and allowing it to split open and swallow any of their pursuers to convince him that she could very well tear him in half without a second thought.
She wouldn’t though. Team 7 and its members will always be a soft and deeply bruised spot for her. A wound she could never quite heal. Sakura cannot remember a time when she has ever been bruiseless. She has come to terms with being wounded.)
Ibiki closes the folder and taps it on the steel table between them, he motions over his shoulder and the door opens swiftly, revealing Kakashi and another Uchiha with curly hair.
He’s just as she remembers him, except not. Her Kakashi had slouched, had a certain energy about him.
This one, he looks the same, has the scar, the slight slouch. But it is clear that ghosts no longer beat on his back, the world's weight no longer bends him to its will.
Pain races through her heart, echoing physically throughout her body. It hurts. It shouldn’t, seeing her old sensei, her once friend, happy. But it does.
Because while she cannot live without Team 7, it is clear Team 7 can live without her.
She straightens, eyes sharp and body tense as Ibiki stands, chair scraping harshly against the floor and then takes her hands into his, calluses and scars scraping against each other.
Sakura could only imagine what Tsunade-shishou would say if she were to see her, riddled with scars and missing fingers. She could have healed them without a second thought, but chakra had been precious then. Every single ounce had been poured into keeping her precious people safe and herself alive enough to keep fighting.
Her once friend produces a key and unlocks the handcuffs, letting them drop heavily into his awaiting hands before standing up, “Sakura-san, this is Hatake Kakashi,” Her former teacher gives her a hard once over. “And Uchiha Shisui.”
Her skin itches and crawls at Kakashi’s look, cold and unfond, nothing like how she remembers him. And of course, of course he wouldn’t be the man who she had come to adore. He is someone else in this carefully constructed future of her own doing.
The blame, as always, rests upon her weakening shoulders. Sakura is crumbling, her sanity chipping away ever so slowly. It is laughable, really. She wants to throw her head back and howl, she wants to bow and allow herself to scream.
But, if she were to begin to scream, she is not sure she would be able to stop.
So, she gives a curt nod, “Hatake-san. Uchiha-san.”
“Shisui, and therefore the Uchiha, have volunteered to bring you into their custody.” Ibiki goes on, taking a step back. Sakura stays where she is, rooted.
A chill runs up her spine and she looks to Ibiki almost pleadingly. “And you can’t simply dump me into ANBU instead?”
“Mah, Sakura-san.” Kakashi drawls and Sakura’s will cracks. (That bruise will never quite heal.) “I can promise that the Uchiha aren’t as bad as they seem.”
Shisui smiles and it is unlike any smile she has seen before.
She cannot remember the last time she had seen a smile.
“Don’t listen to the old man, Sakura-san.” Shisui says and she’s caught off guard at how friendly he sounds, deep and welcoming. Sakura swallows harshly. “We’re a bunch of assholes but no harm will come to you, we can promise that.”
Uchiha men, she thinks with distaste, will always hold a knife to her heart. And they will always know how to twist the wretched blade to get her to bend for them.
But. But perhaps Sakura could bend, bend and lay and rest. Just once. And this time she'll bend for herself. Perhaps.
She finds herself nodding, hands shaking despite the steel in her spine, her shoulders still straight. “You’re going to just let me go.”
Ibiki gives her a hard look and Sakura’s lips twitch. Ah, of course not. The Uchiha compound is just a glorified prison. Then again, it is much better than anything she thought would happen.
Then again, Saura never thought this would happen.
Too desperate, too blind with the possibility of a chance to see them again, to be whole again. She, for all her brains, all her genius, had not even stopped to think of the possibility that her future would no longer exist.
It is laughable, really.
So she laughs, she clutches her stomach and laughs because what else can she do?
Sakura has done what she has always done; what was needed. And once again, like every other time, there is nothing but black at the end of the tunnel. No light exists for her.
She is to blame for her own destruction, her own crumbling.
.
.
.
“You can come out,” Sakura’s voice calls out and Shisui grins.
He steps from the shadows, two mugs in hand as he comes to sit next to her, offering her the drink. She takes it without hesitation but swirls it before sipping from it, Shisui watches as her eyes light up just a little bit.
Hot cocoa with peanut butter. He had noticed, the last time the clan had it, that she’d snuck four mugs worth.
If Sakura was surprised he noticed, she didn’t show it. She was like that, a one way mirror, giving nothing away even as she saw everything.
“Did you want something, Shisui-san?” She twitches as he scoots a little closer, the fireflies floating around the backyard. “Or did you just want some company?”
Shisui smiles boyishly, tilting his head back to look at her, “Heard that Minato-sama called you into the Hokage’s office again.”
“You mean you heard from Genma, who told Itachi while on their date, who then told you that the Hokage summoned me for the fourth time this week.” Sakura snorts, taking a long drink from her mug. There's a little foam on her upper lip that he fights to not wipe away. “He and his wife keep trying to convince me to let them look at the seals I used.”
Shisui pauses, eyes trained on Sakura as she looks to the sky, head leaning back. Her hair has grown out a little, more fuzz on her head than anything, she looks more alive, well fed. Deep bags under her one visible eye, three nasty scars dissect her face and the rest of her body isn’t any better.
She is the most beautiful, most terrifying, most devastating thing he has ever seen.
“The seals you used…”
“To go back and hop through time like a jack rabbit to save the entire world?” She asks, a wry smile on her face. “Yes, Shisui, those seals.”
He hums, leaning back on the heels on her hands, “Why don’t you just let them look?”
“They aren’t my seals to share.” Sakura half snaps, shoulders curling in, her body strung tight. “Naru— my friend was the one to draw them out, I just figured out the last bit of it. Plus, there is no reason why they need to see those seals.” Her tone sharp, unyielding almost pleading.
Shisui stays quiet until Sakura begins to slowly relax. She gets like this sometimes, tense and defensive. As if trying to convince herself rather than him of her deeds. He knew better than to push, he knew that she had gone through more than anyone would ever go through.
The way Ibiki and Inoichi look at her with the utmost respect can verify that. The way Kakashi and Rin and Obito have gone out of their way to greet her, to help her speaks volumes.
He takes a drink from his mug, studying the stars winking above them. “Hey Sakura,”
“Yes?” She sounds oh so weary. His very soul aches.
“Thank you, for everything.” He doesn’t dare look at her, barely hearing himself over the pounding of his heart. “You don’t talk much about what happened but I know, I can tell that it was horrible. And thank you for saving us, the world.”
She had lost everything, everyone. In that future that she had protected them from Sasuke died, Itachi died, he was dead. He could only imagine what the ruins of that world looked like. He could only imagine what Sakura had to do to survive.
Sakura’s fingers are cold, freezing as they brushes the back of his hand. Shisui fights a shiver, the trail of goosebumps, the thrill. “Oh, oh Shisui.” Her voice is heartbreaking and full of nothing but steel. “I would never allow anyone to endure that. You will never have to endure that, I made sure of it. Never. No one will. I promise.”
Her hand draws back as she brings her knees to her chest, eyes far away and breathes quick. And Shisui, he doesn’t know what comes over him as he scoots even closer and carefully wraps his arm around her strong shoulders, drawing her closer.
And. And Sakura, she allows it. She moves to his side, not quite leaning but touching.
“Are you happy here?” Shisui finds himself asking after long minutes of silence. Sakura’s breath evened out and she sits with her chin on her knees.
Her eye flits to him, weighing and heavy. She looks at him and Shisui cannot help but see the age, the ancientness that has taken root. He wants to pull out the misery within her, wants to hold her tight enough that she will never fall apart without somewhere there to catch the pieces.
He wants to love her, he wants her to let him love her.
“No.” Sakura whispers, as if her unhappiness in a world that does not know her, that has done nothing for her is such an awful, wretched thing. “I miss everyone.”
Shisui cannot say anything so he does what he does best; what he wants.
He stays with her, arm resting on her shoulders and slowly, Sakura allows herself to lean into his side.
Around them, the night settles and the crickets chirp. The heavens had nothing to do with Haruno Sakura, with their Savior, coming to them. No, Sakura is the catalyst of this, of this paradise they now all reside in.
If anything, she is the heavens themselves. And it is about time someone tells her that, shows her that.
.
.
.
Sakura sees them for the first time in the five months she has landed in this new future. Itachi invited her to meet his genin team. Itachi, the man who had once been a mass murderer, is now a mednin and a jounin sensei.
Shisui joins her because of course he does, he has been the one constant throughout this entire ordeal. The Uchihas are nothing like she thought they would be. The Uchihas are everything she hoped they would.
They are loving, friendly, welcoming, and thankful. Mikoto is nothing but heaven sent sunshine and cloud soft embraces, Fukago is nothing but a deep rumbling laugh and fond looks.
No one is the same, nothing is the same.
Shisui is there though, at her side, at her back. She trusts him, gods, she trusts him. Despite her better judgement, despite everything. Sakura trusts Shisui.
So, Shisui joins her as she takes to the roofs and to training field 7. She’s finally been cleared for the mission roster and given her jounin blues. Though, Sakura has yet to decide if she even would enjoy going on missions.
Maybe with Shisui.
But she does not think she has a taste for violence anymore, for killing. Maybe she'll spend her days with Kakashi's dogs and holed up in the libraries. Maybe she'll visit Gaara or Chojuro.
She had yet to meet Tsunade, who had been hunting for her since Minato (the bastard) had let it slip that Sakura was in possession of the rinnegan and the byakugan seal. Shisui is exceptionally good at playing discractor as Sakura flees to rock in a corner until he finds her. He's good at that, holding her, letting her breathe, allowing her to find solace within his arms and his space.
They step onto the training fields and Sakura freezes mid step to watch as Sasuke, Naruto, and Sai (oh, oh Sai. Sweet Sai, oh.) attack in perfect sync.
They’re fourteen if her math is correct.
They move smooth and swift, nonverbal communication as if they had been working like this for years. It's beautiful, really.
Something ugly claws at her heart, catching on an already scabbing part to rip open a new wound. Simply another reminder that Sakura is not needed. She never was.
It's laughable, really.
Shisui’s fingers massages the sides of her neck with his fingers, the spot where her skull and neck meet. “You’re tense.”
“They have beautiful teamwork.” She chokes out.
He looks at her, long and open, “We can go home, if you want.”
Shisui’s good at that t00, the open ended question, the way of making her not feel trapped. He's too perceptive for his own good, she has yet to tell him anything except what is on record. But, but. He knows. He knows of Kakashi, of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sai. It is both a relief and a terror. “No.” She manages, curling her hands. She is Haruno Sakura. She has faced the impossible her entire life. Ghosts are nothing compared to gods.
At least, that is what she tells herself.
“I’ll be fine.” Sakura glances up at him, licking her lips. He watches the movement before his eyes flit back up hers and he offers one of her favorite smiles. The one where his dimples are visible, where she can see the small chip of his front tooth and the way his top canin is a little crooked.
Itachi calls the spar minutes later, the boys slumping onto the ground and breathing heavily. Sakura offers a small smile as Itachi nears them, waving a hand in greeting.
“Ah, Sakura-chan.” He grins, then looks to Shisui, dry amusement clear in his tone, “Shisui.”
“You’ve trained them well,” Sakura praises, watching as Naruto (oh gods, Naruto with his big blue eyes and blonde, blonde hair) pulls a limp Sasuke (a Sasuke who laughs freely, who smiles, and is loved) onto his feet, Sai huffing a chuckle from the ground.
Itachi practically beams at the praise, “They are very talented. And you would like to meet them, yes?”
Shisui’s thumb traces the bumps of her spine and Sakura is reminded that she has forged herself from the ashes of her friends, that she is borne from war and steel. She can do this. Shisui is here and she can do this. “Yes, I would love to, Itachi.”
Shisui’s hand burns through her clothes as they follow Itachi, the boys immediately catching sight and freezing at the sight of them. Sakura will never admit it out loud that she has been avoiding any and all people from her past (present? future?).
One look at Ino, whole and happy and sassy, and Sakura had almost gone insane. And then Shikamaru and Chouji, all together, all smiling. Gods, Sakura had fallen to her knees at the sight. Such grief, such loneliness—
She’s better now. She is.
“Team 7.” Itachi says, “This Haruno Sakura, and you already know Shisui.”
Silence.
Sakura shifts under the wide eyed gazes of the boys, the men she loved (loves?) with her entire being. “It is a pleasure to meet you,”
Naruto recovers first because of course he does. And he smiles at her, he smiles at her and Sakura wants to claw at her skin and cry. Shisui intertwines their hands, as if sensing that urge.
“I’m Uzumaki Naruto!” He’s fourteen and he's alive and he’s happy. He isn’t out of the village, he’s here because he has a clan, he has a family. “Is it true that you’re the Savior?”
Sasuke smacks him in the back of the head with a scowl, “Be polite, dobe.” To Sakura he offers a bow, “It is pleasure to meet you, Haruno-san. I am Uchiha Sasuke.”
Sakura’s lips twitch despite herself. Never, not once, did Sasuke ever bow to anyone. He had always been arrogant, but here? Now? It's laughable, really.
She glances to Sai and he isn’t as pale as he once was, his cheeks are full of color, his eyes brimming with life. “I am Senju Sai, Haruno-san.”
And. Sakura pauses at that. Senju Sai, huh. Perhaps she'll have to face Tsunade sooner than later. The thought added to the dread filled pool in her stomach. But. But, she could do it. Maybe.
“It is very nice to meet you all,” She croaks and then offers a very brittle smile. “And Naruto-kun,” She fights a shiver at the honorific. “That information is S class, but find me when you make jounin, hm?” And for a moment she could pretend that everything was okay and she was teasing her Naruto. Just for a moment.
Much to her amusement, all three boys pout, looking to Itachi who shrugs, “You heard Sakura, now, let’s see formation Alpha but reverse.”
The boys groan and Sakura can’t help the smile, a smile with teeth.
She can feel Shisui’s eyes on her before she even turns to look at him. Her body is shaking, Sakura realizes blankly but Shisui still holds her sweating hands, squeezing ever so slightly. “Ready to go?”
Sakura swallows, staring up at him, studying him. And oh, she is so tempted to uncover her eye, to memorize his face. “Yes. Let’s… let's go home.”
.
.
.
He wakes to warmth pressed against his chest, warm breaths against his neck. Their legs are tangled, her arm thrown over his side and brushes against the bare skin of his back. Both of them are missing their clothes, Sakura preferred being able to feel the skin on him, the brush of flesh between them.
What they have, it is something deeper than any type of physical act. No, what they have… well, Shisui can not put it to words. There are no words. There will never be words.
It is rare for Sakura to sleep soundlessly and through the entire night. Shisui kisses her forehead, above her seal, on one of the many scars of her face. She doesn’t stir except to shift ever so slightly, hugging him closer.
And if Shisui’s heart melts, no one else is there to see the absolute brilliant smile on his lips.
“Sakura,” He murmurs because if she doesn’t get up soon, she’ll miss her lunch with Ibiki (who gets very grumpy when his time with Sakura is cut short), “Sakura.”
She grumbles, limbs tensing for a moment, a single breath before melting once more. “Shisui,” Her voice is rough with sleep, the sound swirls and dances around his bones. “G’mornin’.”
Shisui laughs, a soft push of air, as Sakura leans back to peer at him, both eyes uncovered as she studies him, the look like a physical caress. “Good morning.” He whispers, kissing her forehead once again.
“What time is it?” She murmurs, eyes drooping closed.
“You’ve got about an hour before Ibiki comes knocking.” Shisui chuckles.
Sakura snorts, pulling away to stretch her arms above her head, arching her back in the way that Shisui can admire every muscle, every scar, every part of her. “Then I better get up,”
“Or, you could always stay,” Shisui cajools, to which Sakura only laughs. The sound is beautiful and full and makes his heart beat a little faster.
“The last time I canceled on Ibiki was when I had to help Itachi with his and Genma’s wedding plans, and he sent little Terror Ino after me for a week.”
Shisui cracks an even wider grin, “Well, at least you got some nice clothes out of it.”
Laughing again, Sakura leans down to kiss him, “Yeah, I guess you’re right.”
“Go on,” Shisui shoos, making a little gesture with his hand. “Have fun, I’ll be here when you get back.”
“Promise?”
“Always.”
She cups his face, thumbing the sharp of his cheek bone before leaning forward to kiss him again, "I love you." Then. "I am glad that my suffering brought me to you, that I landed here."
"I love you." He returns, barely a whisper as he brushes hair behind her ears. His heart beats for her, cracks and aches and swells. All for her. "There will never be a time that I will not love you. There will never be a time where I do not see you and see everything you are, everything you have done."
The sky is sunny and the spring beautiful as Sakura, the very heavens themselves, mouth splits into a brilliant, blinding smile.
(Sakura has crumbled and broken, she has fallen apart over and over. She has always known how to put herself together, until she couldn’t.
But Shisui, oh Shisui, he has always been readily available with glue and tape. He will always be there to hold her together with his bare hands, ready to bleed for her, with her.
She has given and given and given. He is willing to give everything back to her tenfold.
It is the very least she deserves, the very least the world can gift her. Shisui will always be willing to give more.)

The Only Way Out (of these awkward conversations)
@anbu-legacy @nezumiko @saunterleftside @ninjaeyecandy
"Raidou was generous to his sick-listed teammates, and scheduled it for well after dawn." - - THIS MAN IS TOO MUCH. STOP HIM.
"“Don’t mind me,” Kakashi muttered. “I’ll just be doing Panting Wolf on my face.”" - - I want this drawn. Everyone in normal, comple yoga positions, and Kakashi face down, ass up, moping.
"By 0730, they were sweaty, tired, a little out of breath, and very limber." - - to be the type of people who have a full workout done by 730am.....
"“Um.” Genma took a steadying sip of tea. “I… There’s something else I wanted to talk to you about, though. Besides your jutsu and your homework, I mean.”" - - I'm dying. They go on insane missions, touched Gods, kill for a living- and this conversation about dating is causing apprehension. The Priorities of these people.
Has...has Genma ever fumbled a simple idea (the three of us are dating each other) that badly. I'm getting second hand embarassment and sweats.
"“I was worried you’d be angry, or I don’t know. Upset. After all the emphasis Taichou’s put on boundaries,” Genma said." - - And Kakashi and Ryouma would have a RIGHT too. The hypocrisy.
"“I’m much more fun when I’m not terrified,” Ryouma said with a firm nod. " - - Omg...His wariness of Kurenai is killing me
"“No.” He missed his dogs. " - -  NOOO I DIDNT THINK OF THAT. I was hoping he'd be relaxing and resting in the best doggie pile.
"Which left…“Hey, Deadlast.” Obito wasn’t the best company, but at least he was always free. " - - :') You guys don't have to always do a 180...cute other options, and then a stab to the heart.
"“I’m not breaking up with you because you have emotions. Continue.”" - - They're ridiculous.
"Which left today. And the certainty that tomorrow was unknowable. It was a freeing thought, in a morbid way. " - - Love this line, and this whole conversation so far.
"“So I’d come tell you afterwards. With just enough detail to make you jealous, let’s say.” He leaned in, voice dipping to a lower, huskier register. “And then… you show me what jealousy looks like on you?” A dark little thrill tightened in Kakashi’s chest. “You just want to be tied to a bed, don’t you?” - - Oh hello, my kinks. I hate that I can't really commission anyone to write these because then I'd also have to cover the 20+ hours needed for them to READ this series before starting writing. Hardest part of being an Anbu Legacy fan rip
" Fought the urge to kick several more, mostly at Ryouma’s face. " - - Amazing.
Okay, I couldn't find just one line to quote for that whole section between "Ryouma snickered. “I do appreciate the results of your research.”  and "and it was probably a miracle you’d both limped along this far together. " Because it's GORGEOUS and PERFECT!!!!! The irony of my-body-is-a-tool Kakashi having to beat self-confidence into Ryouma is hilarious and maddening. I love them both so much, and how far they've grown. GOD, REMEMBER THEIR FIRST INTERACTIONS?? AHHH. The growth and characterization of these two is On Point and I'm so deeply in love. Thank you <3

Trick or Treat Shana!!!! Could you maybe do something Naruto related? I love how you spin the show
Naruto insists that theywere the best of friends from the beginning, inseparable from the moment thathe knocked her over while running from an irate shop keeper at the age of five.
Sakura rolls her eyes andinsists that it was only once they started the academy at the age of seven thatthey became real friends.
It doesn’t make much ofdifference about which one of them is right. The end result is the same.
~
Sakura doesn’t really have a crush on Sasuke. For one,she’s used to loud and bright and cheerful, and his stoic angst just gives hera headache. For another, Sasuke thinks Naruto is an idiot, which he kind of is,but he’s her idiot, so. That being said, competing for his attention with Inois usually a lot of fun, and there’s a thrill of triumph at her shrill cry ofdespair at Sakura being put on Sasuke’s team instead of her. Unfortunately,it’s pretty much immediately overwhelmed with the knowledge that she’s been puton a team with her best friend and a silent, stubborn jerk.
She meets Naruto’s gazeacross the room, and he shrugs in ‘what can you do’ gesture. Sakura sighs,because in her ideal world she’d have been put on a team with Ino and Naruto –even Kiba would have been okay – but training with Sasuke is going to be such apain.
“Troublesome,” shemutters. Shikamaru (who is well aware of her true feelings and always has been)laughs.
~
On top of the roof,staring at their new sensei and trying not to snort at the bit of chalk duststill in his hair, Naruto looks at Sasuke out of the corner of his eye. Handsshoved in his pockets and shoulder’s hunched, he just looks kind of …. lonely. Naruto’s pressed up next to Sakura from shoulder to hip, but it’s kind of justoccurring to him that he’s never actually seen Sasuke touch anybody before,unless it was sparring.
He’s knocked out of histhought process by Sakura elbowing him in the ribs. “Hey!” he rubs his side,but doesn’t move away from her. “What was that for?”
“Sensei’s talking toyou,” she says, glaring, but he’s known her way too long not to notice thespark of amusement hidden in her eyes.
“Oh, right. What?” heblinks.
Kakashi’s eye is stillclosed and it looks like he’s grinning under the mask, but Naruto is verycertain he’s irritated. It’s what Naruto does best after all. “I said, you gofirst.”
“Go first for what?” he asks. Sakura coughs to hide a laugh. He knocks their shins together.
“Name, likes, dislikes,dreams …” Kakashi repeats.
Naruto thinks if helistened carefully he could hear the man gritting his teeth. “Oh. I’m NarutoUzumaki! I like Sakura, and training, and ramen, and Iruka-sensei! Idislike….uh,” he scratches his head, eyes squinting. He’s probably laying in ona little thick, but Sakura is nearly turning red to keep from laughing so it’sworth it. “I dislike the four minutes it takes ramen to cook, and the Councilbecause they give Jiji headaches. I’m going to be Hokage!” He ended thisdeclaration with throwing both hands up in victory signs.
Kakashi blinks. “…Right.Pinky, you next.”
“Okay!” Sakura chirps andflutters her eyes at him, and now it’s Naruto’s turn to keep from laughing.“I’m Sakura Haruno. I like Naruto, cooking, and reading.” Naruto shoots her awounded look, and she rolls her eyes. “Training is fun too, I guess. I dislikepeople who are mean to my friends. My dream is to be a top class kunoichi, andprove that ninjas from civilian backgrounds can be just as good!”
“Yatta!” Naruto andSakura high five.
Kakashi is blinkingprobably more than he needs to. If he’s thrown off by them now, Naruto isseriously looking forward to working with him, even if he’s late always. “Okay.Your turn,” he jerks his chin towards Sasuke. Both Naruto and Sakura turn tolook at the last Uchiha in interest, because as far as they’re aware Sasule’sonly hobbies are training and being a bastard.
The kid grunts andstraightens part way from his crouch, “Sasuke Uchiha. I like getting stronger.I dislike being weak. My dream is to rebuild my clan and avenge their deaths.”
Sakura slumps so most ofher weight is on Naruto. He pats her shoulder, and they don’t have to look ateach other to know they’re both having the same thought:
We’re doomed.
~
Kakashi is, if he’s beinghonest with himself, intrigued by this group of genin. They’d all hidden whenhe’s said the test was about to begin, but Sasuke’s off on his own while Narutoand Sakura have hidden themselves up the top of one of trees at the edgeof the clearing. With a little bit of chakra, it’s easy enough to pick up theirconversation.
“-Academy! This isinsane!” That’s Naruto, far too loud for someone supposedly hiding.
Sakura responds, tornbetween frustrated and whining, “I know! A genin against a jounin –“
“Oh not just any jounin.Copy-Nin Kakashi, he’s S-Ranked in the Bingo Book. He’s also Ex-Anbu.”
Kakashi blinks, becauseno one below Chunnin should have access to a Bingo Book, and anyways how the fuck does Naruto know he used to be anANBU?
“Naruto, how the hell do you know that?”
“Who used to babysit me?”Naruto returns. Kakashi isn’t even seeing the words in his book anymore,because Naruto wasn’t actually supposed to know he was being watched by Anbu.And if, as an organization, they’d been beat by a kid, he was turning in hisheadband.
“Huh,” Sakura says, “Anytips?”
“He smells like dogs and,unlike most of ANBU, almost never like blood,” Naruto offers, dry.
Sakura groans, whileKakashi mentally puts down training with the Inuzuka for Naruto whether theypass or not based on his sense of smell alone. “So he’s either really, reallyinsanely good, or watching you wasn’t healing time.”
“Watching me was alwayshealing time,” Naruto says immediately, and for being a supposed dead lastNaruto is proving himself to be an annoyingly perceptive little kid. “Why elsewould they waste Anbu on me? It was a mission, but a mission with like, zerorisk. And Kakashi-sensei is really,really insanely good, so there’s no way they’d waste him on me if he couldperform other missions. “
“Unless there’s apersonal tie between you,” Sakura says, and hoo boy, wow, what a smart littlekiunoichi in training she is. He’s going to destroy her.
“You know,” he sayscheerfully, shiriwaming to right next to them, “You two should be more quiet ifyou’re trying to hide your position.”
“AAAHHH!” Naruto screams,and then falls out of the tree. Sakura follows Naruto down, more controlledin her decent, but they both hit the ground softly, rolling to their feet andrunning across the field without breaking momentum. He throws a katon jutsoafter them, and the fireball goes wide, but Naruto still yelps and ducks.Kakashi leans against the branch, and hopes it will have the effect of drawingSasuke out as well.
Kakashi leaves a clonelazily reading Icha Icha in the tree, and goes to trail the genin. He findsthem in another clearing, this time with a low level notice-me-not jutsu aroundthem. Of course, it’s only effective if the person doesn’t know who they’relooking for, but it’s a nice try.
“We need a plan,” Sakurais saying, “We can’t just hide from him, we’ll never get the bells from himthis way.”
“We can’t get the bellsfrom him at all,” Naruto sighs, “He’s a jounin,”
“Theoretically, a fewgenin can take out a jounin.”
“Yeah, maybe, but certainly not alone. Andwe’re awesome Sakura, we’re great, but –“
“We’re no match forKakashi-sensei,” Sakura agrees, slumping.
Naruto huffs and thensquints, looking eerily close to where Kakashi is hiding. He crosses his arms,“I could just send a couple hundred shadow clones at him to wear him down?”Kakashi really hopes Naruto’s exaggerating, but he read Iruka Imuno’s report,so he knows he isn’t.
“You know, we could ask Sasuke for help,” Sakura says.
Kakashi blinks. This ispromising.
Naruto snorts, “Oh, yeah,like he’ll go for that. You heard him, he’s all avenging lone wolf.”
Sakura grumbles, “We’lljust beat him up until he agrees.”
“I don’t want to waste mychakra beating sense into Sasuke. That could exhaust even my reserves.”
“Naruto, you justsuggested making a few hundred shadow clones. I’ve literally seen you expelchakra from your hands for hoursbecause the shimmering was more amusing than Iruka-Sensei’s lecture. Yourchakra reserves are never a cause for concern. Your chakra control on the other hand –“
“Oh, shut up,” he shovesher, but they’re both smiling. A sudden scream of thwarted rage echoes acrossthe clearing, and Kakashi blinks as his clone is dispelled and he gets thememories of Sasuke leading him into a trap that he never would have fallen for, but his shadow clone apparently didso cheerfully and waved at Sasuke as he was expelled.
Both Naruto and Sakuraare looking towards the sound of the scream. “Well,” Naruto sighs, “at least we know where he is.” He stands, holding out a hand to pull Sakura to her feet.“If he tries to kill us on sight, I’m blaming you,” he says, already dartingaway.
“If he succeeds, I’mblaming you,” Sakura counters.
Kakashi silently followsthem. Even if Sasuke flat out rejects them, he still might pass them. Narutoand Sakura clearly understand the value of teamwork, and clearly not just witheach other. That’s valuable, especially in ninja so young.

Naruto Fantasy Week - Day 2 - Mythical/Monstrous
For @naruto-fantasy-week
Day 2: Mythical/Monstrous
Team Seven
Kakashi moves into a supposedly empty mansion, only to find out that it is inhabited by a possibly crazy trio of kids. 
====
It is the growing feeling of being crushed, unique to a busy city, that drives Kakashi away from the concrete jungle and to a more rural area. He still has work so he can't move far, but luckily an hour by car from the heart of the metropolis lands him in the countryside. Jiraiya, an old family friend, had offered to lend one of his many mansions to him and Kakashi had seen no reason to not take it.
Jiraiya's mansion, now temporarily his, is located a little up in the mountains. There are a handful of other mansions located nearby, but they are far enough away that unless Kakashi actively goes looking, he will most likely never meet their occupants.  
The key Jiraiya had handed him along with the address is big and old fashioned, and Kakashi finds himself increasingly excited as he pulls up in front of his new living space. Large wooden double doors mark the entrance of the place, and there is a satisfying click when he unlocks them. 
The inside is dark, but there is enough light for Kakashi to make out a large set of stairs on the far side of the entrance. There are doors leading both left and right, and he can see the mouth of a corridor at the top of the stairs.
He cannot wait to explore.
Somebody purposefully clears their throat and Kakashi’s head whips up. A girl dressed in a witch outfit is perched on the rails of the second floor. How had he missed such a big, pointy hat during his first scan of the room?
“Oh my, are you lost?” The girl asks. “You look lost. I guess that makes you mine.”
Kakashi stares, but before he can tell her that Halloween is months away, another voice cuts in from behind him. 
“He’s clearly an intruder. That makes him mine.”
Kakashi freezes and slowly glances over his shoulder. A raven-haired boy stands with his back against the doorframe. He wonders if the dramatic fluttering of his cloak had been an available upgrade that came with the online bought vampire outfit.
The girl lets out a scoff. “You said that about the last guy!” She exclaims angrily. “Thanks to you we no longer get the newspaper!”
“He smelt like an intruder!”
“And clearly we can’t trust your sense of smell!”
“Or maybe, he’s a visitor?” A third voice chirps in from the top of the stairs. A blond boy stares down at him with bright blue eyes and a friendly grin plastered onto his face. “Say, are you the guy the pervy old man said would be living here from now on?”
“Wait, really?” The girl pushes herself off the ledge and Kakashi feels his body moving towards her automatically because the fall from her height will be sure to break her ankles, despite knowing he will never get there in time, only to skid to an abrupt half and take two steps back because she lands nimbly on some surface he clearly cannot see a little above the actual floor. 
Of course there is an invisible ground there, because what, was she standing on air?
The girl skips over and leans into his face. “They look nothing alike,” she says.
“No one said they were related,” the Vampire wannabe says. “Just that they were family friends?”
“Something like that.” The blond hops onto the handrail of the stairs and gracefully slides down. “What’s your name again? Bakashi?”
“Kakashi,” the pink girl says. She elbows the blond. “Be nice.” The wolf boy chuckles. “Right, sorry about that.”
Kakashi hears the sharp sound of heels clicking on wood, and the vampire boy is behind him. “Why’re you wearing a mask?” He asks. “Are you sick? Do you have a cold? We don’t want human colds here.”
The blond laughs. “More like the remedy to said colds come from Sakura and they make you wish you’d rather suffered through a few coughs-”
The girl, Sakura, whacks the blond upside the head. “Rude,” she snaps. “That’s not what you said the last time you ate something weird and wanted something for your upset stomach.”
“That’s cause the idiot eats anything he finds,” the raven says. “Like an idiot.”
“What did you say bastard?”
“Boys,” Sakura says, and Kakashi gets the impression that she is used to this. 
“Uh, can I ask a question?” He asks slowly.
The blond turns to him. “Yeah, sure?”
“Who are you?”
“Oh.” The boy scratches the back of his head. “Right, we didn’t say. I’m Naruto, the bastard over there is Sasuke, and the pink chic-girl, the pink girl is Sakura.”
Sakura slowly lowers her clenched fist, a tight smile on her face. “Nice to meet you, Kakashi.”
“Hn.”
Kakashi feels a headache coming. “And why are you here? Do you know Jiraiya?”
Naruto brightens. “Yeah! He used to be our link to the human world, but recently he said something about writing a book? So we were looking for a replacement and BAM, here you are.”
Kakashi blinks. Link to the human world? “So you are a bunch of shut-ins?”
“What, no!” Sakura exclaimed. “What gave you that impression?”
Kakashi pointedly looks at their outfits and from the way the girl blushes she knows what he is trying to say. 
“Well, we don’t actually have to dress like this, but it gets us in the mood, you know? Besides, it was you humans that imagined us to be like this, so if you’ve got a complaint, go take it up with your ancestors or something.” She flicks the tip of her hat. “Like, what is this even for?”
“At least you can find a look for yourself without having to look like a dirty mop!” Naruto retorts. “Half the stuff I’ve got to look through has chest hair.”
“Fur,” Sasuke says. “I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be fur.” The boy is standing straight with his cloak wrapped around himself, like a vampire from a movie. He is repeatedly biting his lip and, as Kakashi watches, finally seems to grasp the ‘one visible sharp tooth’ thing. 
“You don’t even have to change your wardrobe,” Naruto continues. “You’re all black and doom and gloom, to begin with.”
Sasuke scoffs. “Admit it, you’re just jealous this looks good on me.” He tilts his head a little and Kakashi has to admit, he can be the promotion character to a Halloween party or something.
“You know, that set included gloves too?” Sakura says offhandedly. “But it was such a bother to get the ketch-blood, it was such a bother to get the blood out every single time, so we scrapped it.” She claps her hands together. “Anyways, we didn’t know you were arriving so soon, Kakahi,” she says. “We were planning to clean the place up a bit, maybe get something nice to eat?”
“Like a welcoming party!” Naruto chirps.
Sakura ignores him. “But since you came early without notice, we’ve got none of that done. The place is a mess, not that anyone seems bothered by it.”
“You’re the one with the broom,” Naruto says.
Sakura looks offended. “You want me to clean with it? How would you feel if I swept the floor with your tail?”
“Sad.”
“Exactly.”
Sasuke rolls his eyes. “Anyways, what she means to say is, absolutely nothing is prepared for your arrival. Unless you have food on you, you’re going hungry tonight.”
“Did you just assume what she was going to say?”
The two boys start bickering again and Kakashi feels the strength leave his body in one go. He staggers backwards, scrambling for his phone, to talk to Jiraiya, to try and make sense of anything. He turns on his phone and is met with the message screen. He scrolls down to the text Jiraiya had sent him, the one with the address on it, and he scans through it. 
Hi Kakashi!
I’ve attached the map and the address to the message, just in case. The place is in good condition, I’ve made sure of it. There’s no other person occupying the place, so use it as you like. All I ask if for you to take up the small project I left behind, it’s nothing too difficult. You’ll see when you get there and you’ll come to love it I’m sure.
Anyways, that’s all for now. I’ll see you sometime soon!
“Jiraiya mentions nothing about occupants in his house,” he said. “I don’t doubt you know him, but are you supposed to be here?”
“Lemme see that.” Naruto snatches the phone from him and squints at the screen. “Uhh...ah! See, he says ‘no other person’. Person. There is definitely no other person here.”
Kakashi pointedly looks at him and Naruto grins. “Person. We’re not persons-”
“People,” Sasuke corrects.
“Shut it. As I was saying, we’re definitely not people.”
Kakashi rolls his eyes. “What, you classify as a vampire, witch, and-” he stares at Naruto. “Cat man?”
Sasuke chokes on his spit and Sakura has a smile on her face. 
“What? I’m a wolf!” Naruto says indignantly.
“Right, anyways, you say you’re not people.” 
The three of them nod.
“And you, what, live here?”
“That’s right,” Sakura says. “We work here too.”
Kakashi is left stricken once again, but the three in front of him seem to take this as the end of his questions. 
“Now that’s done with, let’s move onto the tour!” Naruto grabs him by the shoulder and begins pushing him towards the stairs. “There’s a lot to see, and a whole bunch of things to be careful of. You don’t want to step onto the third-floor cause that’s the attic and Sasuke’s occupied the entirety of it as his lair or something. You might want to be careful of which room you pick as yours too, cause the bats aren’t very smart and they hit the windows when they’re trying to head in for the day. The far wing is Sakura’s area and she makes a whole load of weird stuff. She claims they're potions and whatnot but I swear she’s just mixing poison to mess with the rest of us. Regardless, the air there is nasty. If you’re not careful you might wake up the next day with a hand growing out of your stomach.”
"I suggest staying out of the dungeons as well,” Sakura helpfully says. “It smells like a pack of wet dogs down there. Unless you wish to never be able to smell anything for the rest of your life, stay far away.”
“And buy earplugs then next time you go down to the city,” Sasuke adds. “Because ear pain-inducing howling is apparently what passes as singing among his kind.”
Kakashi’s brain chooses that moment to decide that it is officially overloaded. He faints. 
====
Kakashi wakes up to a comfortable bed and an unfamiliar ceiling. There is an eerie smoke wafting around and he turns his head slowly, catching a glimpse of Sakura approaching him with a cup in hand. 
“How’re you feeling?”
Kakashi thinks this over for a second. “No idea, honestly.” Sakura laughs and holds up the cup. “It’s water. You can ask questions, I’ll try to answer them.” Kakashi sits up and gratefully takes the cup. He drinks until it is empty. “Where’s…” He waves a hand. 
“Naruto and Sasuke?” Sakura takes the cup from him and places it on the bedside table. “A client came by, so they’re dealing with her.”
“Client?”
Sakura nods. “I said we work here too, remember?” 
“Right. You never said what you do though.” Kakashi looks around. The room he is in is small but well furnished. There is a doorway that leads off somewhere, and a shelf stocked full of something near it. The curtains are open and he can see that the sun is already setting. “How long was I out for?”
“Just a few hours. And yeah, we didn’t, but you didn’t ask.”
Sakura is smiling at him happily, and Kakashi swallows. “Oh, so, what do you do?”
The girl claps her hands together. “This gets a little long, but you know? So, there’s this woman, she’s called Tsunade. She’s like our leader. And where we come from, we’re put into groups of three. Our group was me, Naruto and Sasuke, and Tsunade, she didn’t like us very much. Well, I think she liked me because I was her apprentice and everything, but Naruto and Sasuke got into a lot of trouble. One day, Tsunade decided that she was done with them, and by extension me, and she sent us off to solve cases out in the human world before she considers taking us back-”
“I’m sorry, wait a second.” Kakashi notes that Sakura is not a very good storyteller. “So, this Tsunade is your leader, and as punishment or something she sent the three of you here to solve cases.”
Sakura slowly nods through his analysis. “Yup.”
“Where did she send you off from?”
“Our house. We lived in a big mansion, but she kicked the three of us out.”
“Right, and what do you mean by ‘cases’?” “We’re like private consultants!” Sakura turns to look at the clock located above the doorway. “Like, our current client is Ino. We know her from back home, by the way. She’s a siren, see, and recently some human dude’s been pestering her. Probably a victim to her voice, the poor bloke. Some people are just more sensitive to it. Anyways, she came by for something to make him more resistant to the pull, so I’m whipping together a potion to do just that. You could call us troubleshooters for those of our kind who live out in the human world.”
“And by your kind, you mean…”
“The supernatural,” Sakura says. “The magical, the fantasy, the mythical and monstrous.”
Kakashi swallows. He is either stuck in the grasps of a trio of crazy kids, or he is stuck in the grasps of a trio of creatures he had previously thought only to exist in books and movies. “Does Jiraiya know about this?”
“Of course! He’s actually a close friend of Tsunade’s. They drink together a lot. He’s in the human world a lot yeah? And he’s well known there too. When there’s a particularly difficult case that needs a shove from the human side he’s the one we usually talk to.” She gets to her feet. “Give me a second, I need to go check the cauldron.”
The girl vanishes through the doorway and Kakashi stares after her. Seconds later, he hears a platter of footsteps and Naruto bursts through the door. “Sakura-chan! Oh, Kakashi! You’re awake! Perfect timing!” Sakura sticks her head out from the other room. “I’m almost done. If the pig’s complaining, tell her she can-”
“No, no!” Naruto rushes towards her. “Gaara’s here, like we promised.”
Sakura raises both eyebrows. “I didn’t think he’d come,” she admits. 
“Well, I never doubted.” Naruto is grinning, and Kakashi assumes this is another case. Sakura smiles at her friend’s enthusiasm. “Well, he came at a good time. Kakashi’s up and ready to go.” Kakashi blinks. “Me? Go where?”
Naruto rolls his eyes. “Gaara’s house, duh.”
“Why?”
“Gaara’s like us, but it’s a little weird cause he seems artificial. We suspect he was once human, and someone forcefully planted a supernatural into him.”
“Why?” Was that even possible? “How?”
Naruto laughs. “That’s what you’re going to go find out.”
Kakashi cannot see where this is going. He doesn't know how it had come to this. “No?”
“We tracked down Gaara’s family, but we need someone to go look into it. You’re human, you’re perfect for the role!”
“What? No, I-I don’t-you can’t-” Kakashi wants to pull his hair out. He wants to faint again, because then at least he doesn’t have to think at all. “Can’t you just, like, can’t Sakura make a truth serum or-or-Sasuke go turn them into vampire slaves by sucking their blood or something?”
Somewhere, somehow, he has begun talking and thinking as though he has accepted that they are supernatural. He does not even question it. 
“We can’t hurt humans,” Sakura tells him. “Unless they deserve it, of course. That’s one of the rules Tsunade put in place.”
Naruto gives his shoulder a pat. “Come on, Kakashi. It’s late today and I know you humans need sleep, so you can go tomorrow. I’ll have Gaara write down the address or something.” “Gaara should stay the night too,” Sakura says. “Like you said, it’s late.”
“Cool! I’ll go tell him that. Sasuke’s entertaining him right now.”
Sakura hands the blond a bottle. “Give that to the pig while you’re at it.”
Kakashi blinks. He is done, he decides. He thanks whatever resides above the clouds when he faints a second time.

♡ + Kakash/Miki!
( SEND ME ♡ + A SHIP AND I’LL TELL YOU…)
Who is the most affectionate? Outwardly? Probably Miki, even once you get past that tsundere shell of hers lol.
Who initiates the handholding? Miki. Just hold onto it, u ass!
Who worries more for the other? Probably Miki. Not that Kakashi is a particularly reckless person, but he's very quiet and troubled. I think he probably gets stuck in his own head a lot.
Who is more likely to ask for help? Miki. Kakashi and all his lone wolf bs. Though I think he's probably more inclined to accept help from others after all the stuff with Naruto.
Who is the one always losing the keys? Kakashi maybe? Kakashi strikes me as the person who knows where all his belongings are at all times......or also never knows where anything is ever.......Hm.
Who leaves little love notes for the other? I can't imagine either of them doing this skdjhgkjdfhg. Maybe Miki would do it to annoy him? Like it looks like a love not then its just like "haha u stink" with a little winky face.
Who can’t sleep unless the other is there? Maybe Kakashi. I think over time he'd come to appreciate the calming presence of another.
Who is more likely to propose to the other? I feel like Kakashi would ask something like this in a very weird and offhand way that you're not even sure its serious. But he is.
Who introduced the other to their family first? Miki is the only one with a living relative so her, I guess. (Her mom is a civilian and not dead! wow!)
Who is more likely to play with the other’s hair? Miki. Kakashi's hair is an enigma. How's it stand up like that? Is it soft? Crunchy? Thick? She must know.
Who makes sure the other has meals/stays hydrated? Miki. Kakashi? I think they both think a balanced diet is important lol. They both fear for Naruto and his ramen diet. Kid's gonna get scurvy.
Who is more likely to stand up to anyone for the other? Kakashi. In that quiet cool guy way. You know the way that Gai is always screaming about.
Who is the most likely to prepare a surprise for the other? Miki. I feel like Kakashi hates surprise but she'd like...plan a giant dog themed birthday party or something. Put all of the ninken in party hats. There's a cake in the shape of a bone. Stuff like that.
Who makes the other pinky promise not to do certain things? Kakashi asks Miki to not do the opposite of everything requested. Miki does not.
Who puts a blanket over the other when they fall asleep on the couch? Kakashi. Girl will fall asleep in weird places, including but not limited to her desk.

They were seen as play things. As a means to an end. As anything but equal to an Alpha. It had been this way for the past hundred years, society punishing Omegas for bringing out the worst in Alphas.
It was an Alpha world, and Sakura was just living in it.
A dystopian omegaverse.
Double Edged by nimblnymph | Complete | M *
Seduction is like a double-edged sword. You never know when you'll go from being the seducer to being the seduced. 
your most important person by @fineillsignup​ | Complete | M
Some people got their soulmarks on their arms or faces or some other place that was more difficult to hide. He remembered how Minato-sensei’s hair would sometimes be lifted by the wind enough to reveal “Uzumaki Kushina dattebane!” written boldly across the back of his neck in crimson. His teacher had sometimes laughed in his gentle way about it, saying that fate was determined to make things easy for him.
Your Most Important Person
Or, Kakashi tries to fight fate and fate fights back.
Or, how many ways can a soulmark screw you over?
Or, sometimes you just have to take what you can get.

A few years after the war, they're still trying to regain their footing.
Friendship by Numbers series by Oroburos69 | Ongoing | M
Sakura's too young, Kakashi's too...different, and neither knows what to do with a real, live friend. Clueless and incompetent, they stumble down the path of friendship, accidentally getting naked and engaged along the way. Seriously.
Take my past and take my sins by @thekatthatbarks​ | Complete | M
Sakura narrowed her eyes at him, not wanting him to play it off like he always did. Her hands came up to his face. “You look like you haven’t slept in months, Kakashi.” Before he could respond, her hands went down to his waist and she tugged at the hem of his pants. Unsurprisingly, there was slack. “And you’ve lost weight.”
“Sakura –“ Kakashi started, grabbing the hand that was at his pants.
A thought crossed her mind, making her blood go cold as she realized. She cut him off with a glare, “You picked up the mask again, didn’t you?”
A Poor Imitation by leafygirl | Complete | M
Sakura is injured on a mission, forgetting everything she knew of life in Konoha.
The Samurai and the Oni Girl by selberias | Complete | T

It's Something Unpredictable (But in the End is Right) by BasicallyAnIdiot | Completed | G
The problem was not that Sakura broke into his apartment.
It was that she had opinions about his defences.
Scar Tissue by @TipsyRacounteur | Complete | M
She comes to him on the type of day that he has way too often—the type of day that almost breaks a man—and she asks him to let her take care of him. And just like that, he starts to let her in, without ever even meaning to. (For KakaSaku Month 2018 Healing Prompt.)
Better Man by Kakashisgf | Complete | M
Sakura and Sasuke have been married for over a decade, but things are far from perfect, and Sakura's beginning to realize that maybe she deserves better. KakaSaku
Say it Again by @nyxako​ | Ongoing | M
A story in which Kakashi loses his hearing during a mission, only to later realize that the only thing he can hear anymore is the sound of Sakura's voice. [KakaSaku]
The Taste Of Fire by @alienwritesstuff​ | Ongoing | M *
**Hogwarts AU** Like a moth to the flame, Kakashi couldn't seem to stay away from her. He knows it's wrong, knows it's too dangerous. But, he's drawn to the fire. And fires like these tear the whole world apart.
Aposematism by @youngjusticewriter​ | Ongoing | T
Pretty things were dangerous more often than not. They had to be.
Don’t you know that the world has a tendency of yanking beautiful things up and leaving them to slowly die wherever they were taken to?
Dear fellow traveler by youngjusticewriter | Ongoing | M
“You’re thinking too much. Let me make you stop,” Sukea offered and, yes, his voice was different but Sakura liked it even if something about it made her mind inch.
“Okay,” she agreed before closing her eyes. She didn’t want to (see the world, she just wanted to wake up to find out the mission had been a bad dream) see Sukea and think on the things that she kept picking up on from him. All Sakura wanted was to be Chinami who was just a traveler just like Sukea was. A traveler who didn’t have people’s lives slip through her hands because she wasn’t good enough.
Destroy the middle, it’s a waste of time by youngjusticewriter | Ongoing | T
“Another one?” Mrs. Takahashi asked, “You’re going to burn yourself out.”
(You’re not good enough to keep working; you can’t endure like others do. You’re too young. You’re supposed to just wait around until your teammates get back because those who abandon their teammates are worst than scum.
And Sakura wanted to laugh despite the loneliness that had dug itself into her skin, and had made her bleed, so not to be shaken off.
They left - they left and now it was just her so why should she wait until they got back? She wasn’t a piece of cake that could be discarded.
Sakura had wanted Sasuke and now she wanted to be better in serving her village. Her crush, her teammate, refuting her didn’t stop her chasing after him even though she should have respected his choice. What was their opinions, strangers opinions, compared to that?)
Then I burn, were the words Sakura wanted to spill out from her tongue, to spew out as though they were poison she studied and used, and I get up from my ashes.
Don’t slam the door, Sakura thought as paws pressed into her hand as though to hold it. It (having to pay for another door) wouldn’t be worth it.
(Don't) lay me to sleep by youngjusticewriter | Ongoing | G
Sakura doesn’t need defending though.
Sakura smiled at the girl, because that’s what Ami is and what Sakura hasn’t been since her dreams started, with tired eyes (with eyes too old because that’s what happens when your soulmate is a jonin with a pretty painted mask).
You got to choose before the choice is pulled from you by youngjusticewriter | Complete | G
Kakashi didn’t greet her with an apology, a lie, or even with a hello. (He wasn’t too for gone that he had neglected himself to point he couldn’t sense her coming.)
That’s okay because Sakura doesn’t smile up at him, she doesn’t (lie) promise everything is going to be okay, nor does she greet her husband like she would have this morning if he wasn’t already out of the house. Sakura didn’t even take one of Kakashi’s hands into her own and give it a small squeeze in comfort, in a subtle way to remind him she was still here. No, instead Sakura exhaled the breath she had been holding in and it doesn’t remove the heaviness she feels in her chest.
“You need to come home.” Sakura doesn’t ask for him to do it for her even though Sakura had too lost their child. (We’re not dead, Sakura wanted to yell, and if you continue to keep your company with them, with the dead, then one day when you do come home we might just have become the company you prefer to keep. We might just become the dead you idolize because you were too late in life to realize how much your loved ones meant to you.)
Ceremonial by youngjusticewriter | Complete | T
With bloodied lips and sharp canines Kakashi smiles at the sight - it’s only for a night after all. In the past he had tried to shove it down, had never voiced that sin unlike the others (so many others) to the tombstones of his fallen comrades, but he’s dying now. He can have it just for a little bit. The air is hard to breath in, its too cold or maybe he’s too out of breath, and there’s clothe from his destroyed mask in his bloodied mouth but that’s okay. It’ll be over soon.
Twisted fingers - Kakashi could actually see a bone poking out of one - reach up to touch but it’s too late.
come through (like the sweetener you are) by exarite | Complete | M
Kakashi was not Sakura's sugar daddy.
(Or was he?)
It Wasn't Even Us In The End by tedthedead | Complete | M 
How many years?
How many years had he been lovesick, a yearning child needy for her comforting touch, a desperate man aching for the soft silk of her skin?

Tell me to stop, please XD
Tsume - The Goddess of Hunt. She adores hunters, but only those who hunt fairly and with actual need for meat, skins and bones as raw materials.
Once, when the world was still young she and her wolf were hunting rabbits in the nearby forest. When she was about to strike the prey, a small whimper echoed through the woods.
"A pup?" She thought.
Another mewl echoed, and something moved the wild and erratic heart of the Goddess. Drawn by her curiosity, she followed the sound, ordering Kuromaru to help her find the little ones.
What was her amazement, when she found that it wasn't any pup, but a little girl sitting in the deep ditch, holding small bundle in her hands, little palms sticking out of it.
"Is Tenzō running wild somewhere again, that he didn't see those children?"
Knowing that the children won't survive on their own, the Goddess took them from the depths of the forest, promising that as soon as she'll make them warm and fed, Kuromaru and her will look for their parents.
Time passed, and the search was for nothing. Even the sensitive nose of her wolf couldn't find any trace that would lead them to chidden parents.
But over time, the Goddess became attached to them. As the children were growing, her wild heard became bit more calm, bringing the peace to her unsteady nature.
Over time she started to call them and threat them as they would be her own.
She named the girl Hana. She became one lesser deity, known for helping wounded animals both wild and domestic.
The boy was named Kiba. He became minor deity more similar to his adoptive mother, with wildness in his heart he still runs along Tsume during hunts.
Ahhhh ADOPTED FAMILY INUZUKAS I LOVE IT.
And the little added bit with Tenzo, you're so amazing T.T
Kiba loves to run around with the pack, making sure that hunters are being fair and kind. If a hunter is cruel and leaves an animal to suffer in its death, Kiba doesn't think twice about acting out and attacking them. He always calls his big sister Hana to help during those times, watching as she takes care of the animal with steady confident hands.
Kiba also gets a partner dog just like his adoptive mother, but his is special. A gift that Tsume asked Kakashi to creater, not from his lightning but from his rain water.
Akamaru is swift and moves with ease between treats. He can hide himself in plain sight as a puddle, and can hear Kiba no matter where he calls him from.
When Kiba was first presented with the pup, Akamaru was translucent just like rain. Kiba could see his reflection in Akamaru's tiny body, and he was wet to the touch.
Sometimes while they're out on a run together, the sun will his akamaru just right and produce a rainbow. It's the first instance of a rainbow being seen by mortals, usuall a hidden gift from Kakashi to the gods. But Akamaru shares that gift with mortals, allowing them to see those beautiful bright colours and becoming known as the dog who brights light down onto the world after a rainy day.

He Is Mild And He Is Meek
Summary:  He is mild and he is meek, he is Momo and he is what I seek. Suki always wanted three things in life. One was to become a professional soccer player. The second was to live in a cute apartment filled with succulents. The third was to get a cat. Momo probably wasn’t anyone’s first pick as a pet but Suki was determined to get this cat to love her as much as she loved him. If only he’d accept he had a home now.

The Spirits Threw Down Their Spears and Watered Heaven With Their Tears
Summary: Weak at birth, Tui asked Agni and the Blue Spirit to give the Fire Nation’s prince life. A few months later, she asked La and Tienhai to do the same for the Northern Water Tribe’s princess. She hoped they would live normal lives. She didn’t expect them to gain the power of transformation. | A dragon and a sea serpent, they don’t have much of a place in human society but all the loneliness was worth the wait to find each other and people who would accept them.
