#like not your typical ninja who only smacks you to death but an ACTUAL human of great intellect

[purpleajisai]

Yes! He isn't some perfect gigachad, he's just a normal dude with an evil plan, lots of chakra and lots of HAIR who was gifted by puberty with a nice voice. I think that he's very insecure about looking like a random dude instead of a Mighty and Legendary Shinobi™. But he's surely got a snatched waist 👀

Idk if this'll make sense but I do love how Madara is like.... Physically built like a normal person bc there are some characters like the raikage who are built like the hulk and madara's dub voice is extremely deep and villainous but I like how he has a normal stature (he's like 5' 10") and his original voice is still intimidating, but not as cliche as the eng dub.

I feel like him being physically average helps emphasize that although he's the big bad of Naruto and he's got the powers of a god, he's still just as much of a human being who's grieving the people he's lost as any other person.

TKAB Original Oneshot

A/N: So I don’t think most of the people reading the fic knows this but TKAB actually is based off this thing I did for the 100th chapter of another of my fics. I wrote a series of short little oneshots about the OC-insert from that fic in different animes/mangas, all of which I found myself enjoying immensely whilst writing - especially the Naruto one. 

TKAB ended up being entirely different (MUCH darker and with the main character having a very different personality overall) so it is kinda funny to see how it stemmed from a oneshot intended to be entirely for humour

Kakashi perched on a railing with his book held in one hand, barely casting any attention upon the three teenagers before him. "So, your turn. You, first on the right." He pointed towards the orange-clad blonde.

"Believe it! I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I like-"

"Ramen. We all know you like god damn ramen. You live off the stuff. We get it already." Sakura, hair short and somewhat scruffy, sneered at the boy, making him pout.

"Jeez, okay Sakura-chan. I guess my dream is then to beCOME HOKAGE!" He ended loudly, jumping to his feet.

"If you become Hokage I'm defecting with no regrets."

"Sakura-chan!"

"Well then," Kakashi continued. "You, on the left, tell us about you."

The dark haired boy linked his fingers together. "I'm Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan and kill a certain man."

"Oh wow, we have fucking Emo Badass over here who hates the world." Sakura ignored the filthy look she got from Sasuke. "Go cry to somebody who gives a fuck, we aren't your god damn therapists."

Naruto sniggered, Sakura raising her eyebrows at him and effectively shutting him up.

"Why don't you tell us about you now since you have so much to say." Kakashi gestured to the girl who rolled her eyes.

"I'm Sakura Haruno. I like spending time with my family as, considering the percentage of orphans around here, they'll probably die soon in some horrific affair. I don't like these two idiots with one of them thinking that orange is the best colour for a fucking ninja and the other intent on being the most angst-ridden teenager that ever roamed this earth. My dream is to get through this whole ordeal without murdering someone due to their colossal stupidity." She finished with a pointed look at the two boys beside her, Naruto moping about her irritation with him and Sasuke looking as though he was going to slit her neck.

"What a lovely team I have been entrusted with." Kakashi drawled.

As soon as the jounin started the timer, Sasuke darted away, Kakashi noting quite boredly that he had done a good job of concealing himself.

For a genin.

He then cast his eyes upon the two who hadn't moved, dully surprised by the supposed smartest of the group's presence next to the apparent stupidest. "You know, protocol states that you should hide from someone stronger than you." Kakashi pointed out.

"Heh, I'm not scared of you!" Naruto declared proudly, Sakura looking decidedly done with him.

Seeing that the man was waiting for an answer, she crossed her arms, standing in a deceptively relaxed pose. "Hiding may be protocol but in this situation it's basically useless considering how large the gap is between us and you. We should be escaping, however, all we'd be doing is showing our backs to you whilst running for it. Anyway, the aim is not to run, the aim is to get those bells." She indicated to the two round metal objects tied to his belt.

"So you're conserving energy?" He was purposefully ignoring Naruto's cries for the man to pay attention to him.

Sakura shrugged. "Actually, it's less about conserving energy, more about completing the real aim of this test. As a show of teamwork, I'm going to say sarcastic, supportive comments as Naruto gets his ass handed to him." She gestured to the boy.

"Hey! I'm not going to lose!" The blonde protested.

"I would've chosen to 'support' Sasuke but he'd probably say some stupid thing like 'I work alone' or 'you'll drag me down', whilst Naruto here is most likely ecstatic I stayed with him."

The said 'ecstatic' boy was still protesting about Sakura's low expectations of him.

"Well done, you all pass!" Kakashi beamed at the three, Sasuke still holding up his food to the tied up Naruto. "This was a test about teamwork, as Sakura correctly deduced. Although, you didn't really do anything other than tell Naruto that he was doing better than you thought he would when I threw him into a tree. And you didn't offer him your food either."

Sakura scoffed, her lunch already half gone. "I'm fucking hungry, like hell I'm sharing."

"I received word however that, unlike Sasuke and Naruto, you actually ate breakfast." Kakashi continued, the blonde gasping at the unfairness whilst Sasuke glared at her.

She snorted. "Of course I did, it's the most important meal of the day."

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto shrieked as the jounin was pulled to pieces by the enemies' chains, the bridge builder Tazuna gasping in horror whilst Sasuke drew out a kunai.

Sakura, on the other hand, rolled her eyes.

"He's a dramatic piece of shit." She declared, none too gently kicking Tazuna away before throwing her own two bladed weapons. The enemies smacked them away with their chains, beginning to sneer something condescending at the girl only for a large explosion to occur. "You owe me five explosive tags, asshole." She then declared, Naruto gasping when Kakashi emerged from the smoke with both enemies dragged behind him.

"How did you know I was alive?" He asked, not really too shocked by her correct deduction.

"I'd be worried about our village's survival if jounins were so easily killed." Sakura told him, turning and clicking her tongue as Tazuna started groaning about there probably being internal bleeding. "Pathetic."

"You're going to all die!" Tazuna's grandson, Inari, declared loudly as team seven sat in the kitchen.

Sakura took him in with dry amusement. "Oh look, Sasuke, it's your new best friend who hates the world as much as you."

"Sakura, shut up."

"All in all, I think this ended pretty well." Kakashi crinkled his eyes, smiling at his students, two of which were lying on the ground.

"Yeah, one of us ending up as the human version of a porcupine and the other releasing a bit of his inner demon is really what I call a good end to a mission." Sakura drawled, Naruto shooting up in shock and Kakashi's smile disappearing. "What? You thought I didn't know about Naruto having a giant fox inside him?"

"Sakura…" Kakashi began in a warning tone, seeing Sasuke sit up with furrowed eyebrows in his curiosity.

"For a secret punishable by death if told, it was stupidly easy to find out. Come on, he was born on the day of the attack and has goddamn whiskers on his face!" Sakura looked astounded by how shocked Sasuke looked. "It's so obvious! People are basically screaming demon at him every time he walks down the street!"

"I thought it was a metaphor," Sasuke mumbled.

Sakura threw her hands up in the air. "Typical! There's practically a neon sign screaming that Naruto has the Kyuubi inside of him and everyone just goes 'oh man, what could that sign possibly mean?'! And, by the way, I don't dislike you for having that asshole hanging out in your stomach, Naruto, I get pissed with you because you're a ninja wearing orange."

"Sakura-chan…" The blonde looked somewhat touched through his confusion.

Well, Kakashi thought as the pink haired girl then turned her attention back to berating Sasuke for not noticing the condition of their teammate. That didn't go as expected.
