Yamato shouldn't exist

One of my biggest Naruto hot takes is that Yamato shouldn't exist.

I really like him as a character, but from a story point of view, you don't need his existence.

Naruto has a general problem of having too big of a cast. As a result, there is no character development other than Naruto, Sasuke and maybe Kakashi.

In the arc we needed a character to explain ROOT to us and a link to Orochimaru. Since Sai is already a ROOT agent, we don't need Yamato to fill that spot. And as for Orochimaru… We already had a great character who was already super popular and should know a lot more about Orochimaru than Yamato: Anko.

She was Orochimaru's student. It could have given Naruto and Sakura incredible insight into what Sasuke's life might be like right now and what he might be going through.

And the other reason he exists is to keep Kurama in check, well… never really worked, did it?

And later in the war, he's only needed for the clones, but even for that, another solution could so easily have been found.

So yeah, his character is pointless and without him you could have given a lot of already existing characters more character development

Ride 757: A small tremor

Pag 1

2: Raging waves!!

3: Swirling ocean currents!!

Pag 2

1: Danchiku!!

2: We're now in the land of the decisive battle, Kyushu!! In Shimonoseki!!

Calm down, Issa, this is Moji. Shimonoseki is on the opposite shore, it's in Yamaguchi Prefecture

3: 1000 years ago, the final battle between Genji and Heike happened here

Pag 3

2: You know that because we did it recently in Japanese History? So you were awake....

3: The master fencer Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kotaro had their duel in the close Ganryu Island!!

Ah... almost, but not really. It's Sasaki Kojiro; Kotaro is a friend of yours

5: Here!!

6: Here it's the starting point of the Inter High!!

8: Us!!

Pag 4

1: Let's become the best in Japan

Danchiku!!

Pag 5

2: Uh......!!

I came here just to chaperone you.... and I was wondering what you were you even talking about until now....

3: But this guy's simple words and feelings-

(Let's go see the sea, Danchiku! It's the sea!

Let's go renew our determination!!)

4: -can always shake my heart!!

Yeah, Issa!!

Pag 6

1: The towel is cast!!*

2: It's “the die is cast”!!*

Die is dice and it means “it's already started so you have to move forward”!! To “throw the towel” means to “give up”!!

(*NdT.: here Issa uses two very similar words: he says “saji” while it's actually “sai”)

3: Ahhh, dammit, I'm really so fired up!!

4: Let's go show this excitement to him!!

Him!?

To Doubashi!! Hahaha

Hm... wait, you want to go to Hakogaku's tent!? You want to march inside? Stop, Issa!!

Pag 7

3: We're here

4: Why are you here- during Doubashi-san's massage

See, look, Issa

Sohoku second years!? Don't come into the enemy's tent without even a greeting!

Doesn't matter

5: Let them through

Pag 8

1: It's been a while. I'm so worked up now, Doubashi!!

“san”, na!!

2: He's huge.....!! Hakogaku's third year, Doubashi Masakiyo!!

He sitting down, and yet he looks like Issa that's standing up!!

3: Is it your ring name!? Sanna Doubashi!?

I told you to use the honorific “san, idiot!! Buah!!

4: Was he this huge last year!? ….. no

He got even bigger during this past year!!

5: There are so many injuries in his knees

6: And even on his elbows there are traces of fights...!!

Pag 9

1: I came to tell you how much stronger I got in this past year

Oi, stop, if you say something like this now, you'll definitely regret it later

Nah, I'll say it

3: There's another person

4: Ah....

5: Is he also..... a regular?

6: Ah, Yes, I'm Sohoku's... second year...

Hahaha I'll introduce you!!

7: Is he your partner, Orange?

Hahaha, that's right!!

8: Our team's name is SS!! His name is Danchiku!!

I'm telling you this for your own good

9: Stop

Pag 10

1: This guy's a “chicken*”

(*NdT.: here the literal translation of the kanji used is "weak-hearted", while the reading says "chicken")

Pag 11

2: He'll run away right away

3: Buah!!

4: Road racing half a mental sport!! The distance is long and there'll be a lot of difficult moments. I don't know what kind of runner this guy is, but he's mentally weak and he'll be crushed by the pressure, especially at the Inter High!!

5: He got my weak point with one shot....!!

6: Nah, Orange!! Let's have a serious race, the two of us

Ah!?

And bring a better guy than this!! Ah!?

7: This one's no good, he can't run!!

That's what the sensor in my polished body are telling me

8: Doesn't Sohoku have a reserve!? You should.....

Pag 12

1: Replace him right now

4: Yuuto lost to a guy like this?

Ah!?

Well, I guess you had quite an advantage since it was a rcae in your hometown

Danchiku won!!

5: Would it be better if I was replaced...? No

He's not a bad guy, but.... sometimes he says bad stuff. Last year, too-

6: No, that's not true!!

What am I saying!! I'll run!! I'll be the one running!!

Pag 13

1: In the Inter High!! Together with Issa!!

2: Ehi, welcome back. Did you have fun on your walk?

… yeah

I've done the oiling and the gear check

Did you see the sea?

It was fired up!!

3: Fired up?

The sea was fired up!!

4: “My heart is small”

“Yours is much bigger”

5: Sugimoto-san.....

Once you get dressed could you try ride it?

Pag 14

1: Uhm, Sugimoto-san

3: Hm?

4: Hy.... hypothetically

5: If right now

6: I said I couldn't run, what would you do?

Pag 15

4: Since the day I was chosen as a reserve

5: I haven't taken even one day off practice

7: The members may seem to be in perfect condition, but they could accidentally fall and get injured, or get ill

Be ready to run the moment you know someone can't run, that's what a reserve is

I

8: I spent my time wishing that all my efforts would be in vain

Pag 16

1: I would run for all three days!!

Now I'll put this toolbox down, put on the my cleats and prepare my own bike!!

Can be done in fifteen minutes!!

Pag 17

2: Be prepared!!

4: I-I'm sorry!!

I'm sorry for saying stupid things

5: In road racing a reserve can only be subbed in until the start of the first day

The rules say that you can't change during the race

6: Is that so!?

You didn't know that!?

7: Once the race starts, if someone can't run, he can't be substituted

He retires and the number of people in the tea decreases... that's road racing

8: If your condition isn't good, tell us now

It's more advantageous is all six people run

9: It's alright, if you made that decision

Pag 18

1: No one will blame you

Pag 19

1: This trial run on the course is terrific, Danchiku

The sea is in full view!!

2: That tanker is huugee!!

“No one will blame you”

3: Don't hang your head, don't look down

What a I thinking!!

Raise your head!!

4: Issa is here

5: The Inter High I've longed for

6: “Stop”

“Chicken”

7: The die is cast!!

Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from all formats. Virat, Rohit, Jadeja have retired from t20s. Ishant Sharma is basically retired. Mahi the leader amd the captain left the international arena. Raina and Yuvi are gone. Bhuvi and Rahane's comeback looks impossible at this point. Ashwin is mostly a Test bowler now. The team that I've watched and loved since childhood, which made me fall in love with cricket has gradually left the game, leaving behind an incredible legacy and even better memories.

I opened Pinterest for the first time in months.

That made me realize a lot about how bad I was actually doing and how much of a Waffle House Index use of Pinterest is for adult me, apparently.

I hadn’t realized it had grown that foundational to me in a healthy-brain-exercise-and-hobby-joy way. Nice to know moving forward! It’s another sign I can keep track of and use to spot correlation/indicator patterns earlier my behavior.

I love this kind of thing, it makes me so excited!

OO has me in a fucking vice grip with the urge to lunge at Seph's throat!!!!!!! I can't fucking believe he convinced Kadaj to join him!!!!!! I'm gonna go fucking feral!!!! Leave my sonboy alone!!!!! He has no free will!!! He keeps being used for what Jenova wants cuz of the cells and he keeps being used by Seph as a remnant!!! Daj can never truly have something of his own accord cuz of the very meaning of his existence!!!!! He can never be an individual cuz of them, but without them he wouldn't exist!!!! LET HIM BE HIS OWN PERSON!!!!

And to top it off, Team Ninja dangles a Loz and Yazoo tease in my face after I just said I need Kadaj to have his real brothers back!!!! FUCK!!!! I FUCKING HATE FINAL FANTASY!!!!!!!

ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE.

AFTER A LONG UNEXPECTED FIGHT KAKASHI AND TEAM 7 APPEAR IN A WORLD THAT DOESN’T BELONG TO THEM BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO TAKE INTO THEIR HANDS AND MAKE IT WORK, BECAUSE IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THERE YOU CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE. WILL THE CITY OF NEW YORK BE TOO MUCH FOR THEM?

KAKASHI/FEMREADER, ORIGINAL CHARACTER. SOON IN AO3.

The City That Never Sleeps.

Kakashi knew this was a lost battle. He only needed to earn some time to find a way to get out of it with dignity and safe and sound. Once again, he coursed Lord Third from sending him and his rookie team on a mission that was too much for them.

Of course, everything started with a low-rank mission in which Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke would have to move some files from Konoha to the Sound Village, no more, no less, and deep inside him, Kakashi knew that that would only mean trouble. As if Hiruzen didn't know the situation well. With Orochimaru following Sasuke's steps, the seal on the kid's shoulder getting weaker every day, and Sakura and Naruto not training as he would like to, this stupid mission would only be a disaster at any moment. And Kakashi once more was no wrong.

Ten rogue ninjas circled them. Kakashi knew them well. They were all in the Bingo Book; they were strong, and something about them made them no ordinary. He wondered if this was just a random attack or a planned one. Even if they were rogue shinobis from the Sound Village, he had already identified them, and it seemed like a very well-planned attack. Organized, practical and clean. Were they after the files or after Sasuke? Or, even worst, would they be after the Kyubi?

Time... Kakashi needed time. It didn't sound logical to go after some old files. Even if he didn't know what they had inside, he knew enough to understand that the ten ninjas were too many assets for some papers. If Orochimaru was directly behind the attack and he wanted Sasuke, then he wouldn't have allowed his minions to hurt the boy; quite the contrary, so they must have been targeting Naruto, right?

Time... Why? Why couldn't he think clearly and come up with a saviour idea? Maybe because he was too preoccupied with the kid's safe, who were already exhausted and hurt for trying to fight back, perhaps because he was too angry, again, with the Sandaime for the decisions he made in which Kakashi felt like constantly losing, or maybe it was just the Sharingan draining what was left of his chakra fighting these idiots.

He didn't have the time to keep on wondering things. He had to act. He would end with the ten ninjas on his own if it was necessary, no matter how. It was awful, even for him, but he would if he had to use it. One more shot and It could be done: Kakashi would use the Mangekyō, and it would be all.

Fog, red, grey and black were all that surrounded Kakashi. His left eye hurting like hell and the torturous screams from the ninjas sounded in his ears. It worked. He finally defeated the rogue ninjas, and Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto would be okay eventually. He had to let the Mangekyō go, or he would lose consciousness. However, something caught his attention: behind the fog, the leftovers of the fight, the shinobis still trapped in the jutsu, the red and black, and the dizziness, there was a man, and Kakashi knew that something worst than all his speculations was about to happen.

Danzō was there in front of him, undaunted. Looking at him with pettiness and hunger at the same time. Kakashi heard his voice. He said something about his stolen Sharingan, that bastard. He also said something about Minato Sensei, but Kakashi was too weak to react.

"It's time Kakashi." Danzō said, "It's over, and you are not going to be capable of doing anything this time." And just like that, the maniac man in front of him pulled out an old scroll, and when he started unrolling it, the world around Kakashi began to turn, and everything around him started to shake and tremble below his feet.

Kakashi had time for only one movement, he could have killed Danzō right there once and for all, but he wasn't going to leave unprotected his children, so with the only strength left that he had, he jumped over the three boys letting the darkness embraced him and with some luck his dead father, Obito, Minato and Rin too.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

"Kakashi Sensei...Sensei." Sakura said, shaking Kakashi's arm a little.

"Is he...? Is he..." Sasuke's voice sounded stressed for the first time in what seemed a lifetime.

"You have to do it louder Sakura-Chan!!" Naruto said in his always too cheery voice, "Like this: Sensei!!!! Kakashi Sensei!!!"

"Stop it, you idiot. What if you hurt him more? Move," Sasuke said, moving Naruto away. "Sakura, we need to get to Konoha General, what do we do?"

"I don't think we are in Konoha anymore, kids..." Kakashi said, looking around a hating every minute of his life since he left his bed early that morning.
