#added some of my rebel jounin obito headcanons :3

[cool-thymus]

Oh sure! Here's a tiny list of my headcanons for the Rebel Jounin Obito AU:

Obito does not support some of the key policies endorsed by the elders and the hokage. (For example, he could be fighting for raising the age for getting a ninja rank or for modernizing rehabilitation services or ... there's so much to choose from, really, pick your favorite vice of that system).

After years of unsuccessful negotiations, protests, and campaigns, Obito decides that he doesn't want to be a part of this and leaves. Mb he wants to go find like-minded people and form an alliance to bring change on a higher level; mb he wants to act on his own behalf and save people instead of working for a village; or mb he's going full revolution and is plotting to get rid of the old conservative jackasses who hold the village back;

Obito might be targeted by ROOT for his activities, and Kakashi himself asks Obito to leave bc he wants to keep him safe. Or Kakashi can be against Obito leaving and is left heartbroken when his everything says he can't stay in the village any longer even if it means parting ways. Kakashi can't go with him bc he believes that the change must come from within, and they should keep trying.

No matter the circumstances of their separation, they still end up finding each other in secret. If the village finds out, Kakashi will be labeled a traitor, so they are as careful and discreet as ninja can be.

They both hate the ways things are now, but they stay true to their convictions and their love too. They still have kamui, and it's the safest place on earth.

They miss each other a lot.

the rest is up to interpretation 😌💛

Hello there! To answer some of your questions in the tags (mind you, it's going to be long):

The overall story-idea was Good/Konoha loyal!Obito being Kakashi's lover on the battlefield. He thinks, but never vocalises his concerns about Kakashi. Kakashi, who is always doing his utmost best, always so dependable, strong, the perfect soldier. But Kakashi isn't invincible, and he's crumbling under all the weight the world (and himself) puts on his shoulders. Kakashi, who can only ever be vulnerable when no one sees him. But Obito knows but doesn't say. So he lets his actions speak and picks up his lover and embraces him, tries to soothe him.

BUT even if this is the original idea, there are many possibilities and I couldn't choose one so I changed the outcome of the few pages a lot. This is a bit my problem, soI struggle with flow and paneling a lot.

There are so many interesting ideas to explore after all!

It is his Father's signature sleeve pattern! I just kinda love the idea of Kakashi wearing it to honor his father (and sometimes/most of the time I HC it as a clan thingy!)

The rest is more 'up to interpretation of the viewer' but I'll type my thoughts on it:

Storywise:

The idea started - like I mentioned - as Good-Obito finding a distressed Kakashi. But I started to draw Obito in his War/arc uniform, but then I thought 'hmmmm maybe Obito is Akatsuki here?' So this can both be 'Teammate Obito in a fancy outfit' OR 'Akatsuki/Mizukage/stalker!Obito' who keeps an eye on Kakashi.

Then another idea I got: "What if it is Konoha-loyal-Kakashi and Akatsuki!Obito having a forbidden/secret relationship??" Like, the loyaltyconflict Kakashi must have! The pull Obito feels towards a past and furture with Kakashi by his side (lover or friendship-wise), the 'what did I get myself into??' of both of them.

The scarred arm: or a slip of control on Kakashi's part where he couldn't control his Chidori OR/AND afterwards he'd had flashbacks and started tearing up his arm like he did in the anime after Rin's death. (Rin is still deceased in this short comic)

Outfit-wise:

The War!arc Obito outfit is one of my faves overall (except the high neck, but hey... can't have everything can we?) and I have a great dislike for the standard Konoha vest in general. Idk. It's not his colour? So I decided to draw that.

Voilà, my thoughts on the little comic ^.^

OMG!! Rose, thank you for sharing your vision! 😍🙏🌻 Obito soothing Kakashi by just being gentle with him is very Obito of him. I frequently find myself thinking that in their dark moments, obkk would be mostly silent, relying on proximity that would give them comfort and a sense of security. Especially the way you drew that embrace - i'm sure it worked on Kakashi and made him feel if not better, but safer.

"A forbidden/secret relationship" between Konoha loyal Kakashi and Akatsuki Obito! YES! I'm a big fan! I have a personal daydream au where good Jounin Obito leaves the village bc he doesn't support the cruel politics of the hokage and the higher-ups and essentially becomes a rebel. Kakashi doesn't follow him, but they can't stay apart for too long, bc they worry sick about each other and still meet in secret. Your illustrations fall in line with this hc of mine and it makes me daydream HARDER xD These are the comments for this beautiful post, check it out if you've missed it 💛
