Okay, so. No one needs to hear me out on this. I’m just saying. One day I’m going to crack and heave out all my biting commentary about Naruto gender and clan and lineage politics through the lens of an always-a-different-sex Kakashi fic or outline, and it’s just going to… exist… out there.

No one else gets changed, it’s just Kakashi, and it’s going to be a nightmare from start to finish that’s definitely also heavily tinged by my personal perspective on being agender aro ace.

#somehow I feel like this should get its own tag…#idk #I’ll figure it out later if the idea strongly persists #ANYWAY right out of the get go #you immediately have the shift in how Sakumo interacts with Kakashi #and especially the more toxic tinges of what ‘honor’ means for female shinobi #on top of Kakashi’s existing trauma around Sakumo’s death #PRO TO OFFSET THIS CON THOUGH #MORE KUSHINA #HI KUSHINA #I LOVE YOU KUSHINA #and fuck YES I’d heavily explore how this changes the team Minato dynamics #because from Kakashi’s side you have even more struggles over fitting ‘ideal expectations’ of being a shinobi #then contrasting with Rin’s perspective on the interplay of frontline vs support roles for female members #then poor Obito who you canNOT convince me was entirely properly socialized #and puts his foot in his mouth many times with Kakashi #not just due to what he absorbs from the Uchiha clan but also as the only male member on the team now #and then the whole friend killer thing still happens YIKES #ITS EVEN WORSE NOW #because Kakashi is growing into the teenage years without Minato or Kushina’a support anymore #and it’s time for gross lineage/heir politics that Kakashi escapes from by flinging herself into ANBU #even harder than canon maybe #clan raised vs civilian raised gender morality in the context of shinobi life FIGHT
