#and Obito would have free reign to bug the shit out of Kakashi for his entire reign

[depressedhatakekakashi]

Au where everyone lives and Kakashi becomes Hokage when Hiruzen retires :)

The elder’s try to get Minato, but Shikaku still nominates Kakashi because he thinks he’d be a good Hokage, and ultimately Kakashi is chosen

Naturally Obito is a little crushed, but he quickly gets over it and decides to become the most obnoxious right hand man ever

He does not actually get to be the ‘right hand’ but is instead put on the new council Kakashi forms after retiring the elders. A voice Kakashi will happily listen to, and just as happily ignore if he thinks Obito is being hard headed
