okay so misaki (inuzuka) hatake is a kunoichi of the hidden leaf. she & sakumo don't get closer until later in life but they become this really cool team. misaki is not nearly as powerful as sakumo [ as sakumo is literally on the same level as the sanin - this is canon ] but they work in tandem really well. i once described their dynamic as ' misaki is the warning bell, sakumo is the promised storm ' . misaki grows up embracing brutality, coldness, she expects & wants to die for her village so it's a surprise when she survives past childhood. her team doesn't, but she does. it leaves her in a spot very similar to kakashi's canon where she gets deep in the ' live for the village, die for the village' perspective & her expertise in tracking down & killing people drives her to rise in ranks.

she's a natural but brutal leader. efficiency was her middle name. she didn't care who had to die for success, herself included. this starts to change after she's assigned to work with sakumo a little more. where she used to delight in bloodshed, he makes her question the patterns she's been taught. he poses the question of ' is it worth it? ' & she really cannot answer that. satisfaction is nice, yes. she loves to feed her pride. but what does she have to show for all the blood on her hands? nightmares that's what. she starts to forge a friendship with him though they are often at odds. but he shows her a way much different than her own & she likes it.

she was an expert tracker as well, she had two ninken she worked with regularly. absolute nightmare dogs with curly tails. they're pretty small for inuzuka ninken, but it works better that way. they can hide & fight when necessary without putting themselves at risk needlessly. i think sakumo has an interest in ninken & training some of his own. misaki, who oversee's some of the breeding works with him to train & raise ninken of his own. which ultimately shows him a side of her he didn't know existed. this softness about her that's spared only for her pups.

sakumo starts to catch feelings. shenanigans ensue. misaki is a natural beauty, but sakumo is a legendary shinobi. misaki's pride keeps her from swooning like all the other girls, which adds to the draw sakumo feels towards her. misaki isn't interested at first. She has things to do, she isn't going to swoon over the white fang like so many others were prone to do. But she likes that he wants her. There's actually one scene I've always imagined for them / wrote once where sakumo gets her flowers, tries to give them to her while she's reading in the park, she trips him & keeps reading, stepping over him & keeping on her way. but she finds him so endearing.

they work together not only in raising ninken, but also on more missions. Misaki begins to recognize how he values life, which is rare. especially during this time.. For example, this is the time of the sanin. This is during & right after the second shinobi war. Brutality is expected, but Sakumo surprises her constantly. Eventually she catches feelings too & their romance is fast & hard. I have a headcanon about sakumo having bpd, feeling everything to the max & this being part of the reason why his despair is so strong. why it is so isolating. but, this also leads him to love so hard with every fiber of his being. in doing this, his fire melts the ice around her heart it's all very poetic.

buttttt i think misaki dies a little bit after kakashi's third birthday. she's on a mission, she gets captured & rather than wait to be rescued, she tears through her opponents. which was sooo unescessary like if she would have waited even 15 minutes she would have had the backup she needed i'm talking she emerges from the enemy's hideout, her knees give out on her & sakumo catches her before she hits the ground. thats how close she was to having help & surviving. but she's not patient like that, you see. She dies in his arms & he carries her body back to the village to bury her.

very shortly after this, kakahsi chooses his name. there is a post somewhere that i will link when i can find it that talks about kakashi naming himself after the scarecrow in his mother's garden & i abide by it because i think it i such a lovely concept. also tragic. i love tragedy. i think this whole generation is full of tragedy though. like don't get me wrong, the third shinobi war is awful. but the second one is worse. there are no boundaries, limits for what is expected of all of these people ( only a generation & a half after the warring states period ) experience. but if i get deep into second shinobi war talk it's over. I'll need a whole google doc about that.

I think the great thing about TWEWY as a series is that like any well-written teenage bildungsroman, it’s able to look past the bullshit teenagers project about themselves/others and call them out on it while at the same time, being completely understanding towards them. Teenagers in games tend to be incredibly annoying and difficult to withstand for a lot of players out there since teenagers, like you and me probably were/are at some point, are often incredibly annoying, hormonal balls of angst. TWEWY never lets these traits hang, and is always extremely critical of the characters, rather than just implying that they suck, and makes the characters come across as kids going through that awkward phase in their lives.

The other half is that the games are also aware that these characters are human, and these traits don’t just pop up out of nowhere. Neku is dealing with survivor guilt concerning the death of his best friend and feels overwhelmed by the world. Shiki is completely lost in who she wants to be and what to do, hence her imposter syndrome and self-esteem issues. Beat is terrified that his tough guy attitude will hurt the people he cares about but doesn’t know any other way to be, which he hates himself for.

Rindo is deathly afraid of taking responsibility for potentially life-changing decisions and tries to avoid it by clinging onto others for guidance so that if things do go wrong, he has a scapegoat to conveniently pass his responsibilities onto, hence why he lashes out whenever people try to force those choices onto him. Fret has PTSD over his best friend’s suicide and is trying to hide his true feelings out of fear of getting hurt again, hence his overly enthusiastic behavior and seemingly carefree attitude. Nagi is a hyperempath who struggles with trying to find an appropriate channel through which to express her feelings and suffers from social AND performance anxiety. And then there’s everything about Shoka.

When these characters act obnoxious, weird, etc, there’s always a reason, always an understandable way to trace these behaviors. It wants the characters (and by extension, you) to grow past their flaws and allows them to be flawed but nonetheless likable/interesting characters, which I think is really important for the demographic these games are mainly catered towards.
