#Akatsuki are reincarnated as part of their parol

Submission mk.II

Sanjuno, it is SO COLD here and I’m distracting myself with your Tumblr and found the ‘fics I haven’t written’ page. I am still cold but also interested and intrigued enough to be only mostly depressingly sad it’s all unwritten. 'Thin Line,’ 'Fire Shall Waken,’ 'Rumors, Slander and Heresay’ all sound like a festival of hilarious chaos but the one that caugh my eye was 'Fire of Will and Conquest.’ Just….Ace, my fiery boy, raised by NINJA. By Obito Go Die In A Fire Uchiha & Kakashi Troll Them To Unhappy Insanity B/C That Shit Does Not Fly Hatake. And I imagine ASL as Akatsuki’s honorary nephews.

……and Whitebeard.  The under the table “it’s good for you” slaver. Because consent is a thing and I cannot even imagine how Obito and Akatsuki who were manipulated puppets the last time will deal with their family’s kid’s experience with Whitebeard. 

Does Shanks know Ace is Roger’s kid? Does Marineford still happen? Because I’m now picturing 4 pirate ships (shanks, akatsuki, Ace & Luffy’s) sailing up to the execution like, “You’ve done it now.”

I’m having so much fun with these mental gymnastics and I’m so looking forward to the day you apply your awesomeness to this plotline.

Hahaha, well I’m sure if you hang around long enough you stumble across one of my metafic plot outlines in which you will be able to experience where my brain goes when I get a new idea for a fic. As for Wills of Fire and Conquest, it is a grand adventure from start to finish. Especially since this crossover is part of what I call the “Kakashi ghost-married Obito and now he is Akatsuki’s eternal Parol Officer” crossover series. The way my favourite ninja husbands scramble the different canons upside-down and sideways after reincarnation is glorious.

Seeing various members of Akatsuki get whapped over the head with Kakashi’s latest romance novel when they misbehave is the hill I have chosen to pitch my tent on. String up a hammock, I’m going to be here for a while. XD

Whitebeard comes very close to a pre-canon death when he pulls that shanghai shit with Ace in this ‘verse. Kakashi and Obito raised him well, and Ace knows better than to break his cover considering there’s no way he’ll be able to kill all the Whitebeard pirates before someone gets word out about Ace’s abilities, but dammit. Whitebeard has it coming for talking shit about Ace’s Kachan. The Moby Dick is saturated in pranks of unhappy jounin levels while Ace waits for the 100 day time limit to pass by.

Then on Day 100 Marco manages to find out what Whitebeard did to piss Ace off, passes that info on to Whitebeard, and Whitebeard apologizes for insulting Ace’s mother. Ace is mature enough to accept the apology and stops plotting Whitebeard’s ANBU-style assassination. He’s sulky about it, but he still stops planning to actually kill Whitebeard.

Then the Killing Mists rise up and the Red Dawn sails up next to the Moby Dick and Ace knows exactly how he’s going to rub Whitebeard’s face in it. Obito comes on deck with his KI raging full force and Ace leaps for him with a cry of “Tochan!” and a koala hug. Whitebeard is now grumpy and jealous, because he’s never had someone turn his adoption down so blatantly before. Obito glares at Whitebeard while the Spades grab their things and scramble over to the Red Dawn.

“I’m watching you, Edward.” Obito hisses before be takes his kid and his kid’s crew and leaves the Whitebeard Pirates in a cold sweat because the Red Dawn is a nightmare. It’s like Davy Jones got bored and repainted the Flying Dutchman so he could moonlight among the living.

As for Shanks, he does know that Ace is Roger’s kid. Mostly because he remembers Rouge’s kid brother Portgas D Crow mentioning that she was pregnant and Roger was going to get the mother of all shovel talks. But aside from Shanks and Garp pretty much everyone else believes that Ace is Obito's kid. With Kakashi, naturally. Because “strange things happen on the Grand Line”. XP

I'm just going through your master list and rereading your versed and for Wills of Fire and Conquest, I think you're missing parts of them. If you ever talked about how Kakashi and Obito got the ASL group and how they even got to OP, it's not there.

Uh, dunno if I ever did post about it, actually… hm.

Well, to answer, I have a series of crossovers which all stem from the basic premise that the Shinigami has booted the Akatsuki out of Naruto-verse for being naughty hooligans. Kakashi ends up being their long suffering parol officer, except he’s usually too retired to care about doing anything more complicated than distracting Obito via romantic subplots.

Wills of Fire and Conquest is one of these “karma reinforces community service via world saving crossover fixits” ideas.

Kakashi reincarnated as “Portgas D Crow”, who is Portgas D Rouge’s younger brother. Kakashi ends up going to Dawn with baby Ace, and the usual “ninja need Clans to maintain a healthy mental balance” headcanon kicks in, so Kakashi adopts the ASL. Having the Rokudaime Hokage as their primary parental figure means the ASL don’t get separated during the Grey Terminal Fire events, and so Ace’s backstory is significantly less sad.

Shenanigans happen, and Kakashi founds a new Uzushio somewhere on the Red Line. Ace wants to be the next Uzukage. Luffy still wants to be Pirate King. Sabo wants to destroy the established world order via anarchy, the right to self governance, and arson.

As you can probably guess, Sabo is Obito’s favourite stepchild.

Obito and the rest of the Akatsuki gremlin hoard are currently being pirates. Then Obito overhears rumours regarding Kakashi, Revolutionary Dragon, and someone being left penniless and pregnant. Obito proceeds to rock up to Baltigo to scream at Dragon for being a home wrecker.

ASL get raised by S-ranked ninja from the word go and develop very odd worldviews in the process.

One Piece canon goes flying off the rails, rolls over a cliff, and explodes spectacularly.

And that’s a basic summary of Wills of Fire and Conquest.
