#naruto is the one sealed

[wisteriavines]

Because Time Travel Always Has Consequences

And they’re never easy to predict. Especially when you factor in Naruto’s luck. Anything was possible when he was involved. Even…this, apparently.

This being: Naruto and Kurama (the Kyuubi that was sealed in him) switch places. Somehow.

At least being in Naruto’s toddler body will give them time to figure it out? Uh, hopefully before the village decides Kurama had broken the seal, and try to kill them.

HE WAS SO MAD

[chialattea]

Glimpse of an AU I’m cooking after a convo w a moot…….. hehe I had lots of fun doing this, actually!

impure world reincarnation part 1

Imagine.

Orochimaru ressurects the four hokage during the fourth shinobi war. Hashirama does his whole speech, they get told what’s happening out there, the usual. Suddenly, Tobirama stops silently fighting for control as he’s been doing since he felt the connection to the pure lands shut closed.

“If Madara is behind this war…” everyone can see the mental calculations in his eyes, “where did you steal my Edo Tensei Technique from?”

Orochimaru raises an eyebrow. “A laboratory in the northern mountains. The barrier seals were a work of art, a masterpiece of its own.”

“Did you discover any of my other labs?”

“Other?”

The Second Hokage nods continuously, deep into thought.

“Um, Tobirama?” Hashirama asks sternly. “I know that look on your face, what did you do?” Sasuke notes it’s a tone of voice he can vaguely recall Itachi using on him in their youth — an older brother absolutely done with his younger sibling’s antics.

“I… might have an idea. Wait a moment,” and with that, he teleports out of the room.

The non-Kage stare at the empty spot the Second was standing in a moment ago. Minato lights up.

“Oh, wow, I’ve always wondered how it originally looked,” Hashirama turns around and looks at him, so the Fourth explains, “I improved and mastered it. It was sort of my signature?” He adds a bit sheepishly. Hashirama gives him a smile.

“I’m glad Tobirama’s work is getting continued, then. He was always a great inventor, he just sometimes didn’t know when to stop.” He pointedly side eyes Orochimaru, who ignores it.

Then, Tobirama snaps back into the room. He’s holding a vial of a red liquid. The snake sannin looks very attentive.

“Okay, don’t be mad,” he starts, looking at Hashirama (who quickly rebutts “How do you expect me not to get mad if you start off like this?!”), “but I have an idea on how to throw Madara off, if not stop him in his tracks altogether.”

“What is that?”/“Who is that?” Minato and Orochimaru ask at the same time.

“Uchiha Izuna’s blood.”

21: Cursed

[teatitty]

KakaIru childhood friends AU's should just be them pulling off all sorts of bullshit together [pranks, tricks, insane mission plays etc] and Kakashi bragging about how big of a genius he is and Iruka going "Hey genius it was my idea" and Kakashi going "Well I pulled it off" and then they grapple on the floor about it. Like Nala and Simba yanno

[evilkitten3]

ngl my biggest issue with tobi/izu as a ship or as a friendship or even as a foemance is that there's no reality where it's not a thousand times funnier if they just straight-up hate each other's guts

[void-tiger]

An Idea that is also admittedly OOC but wdyd is…

Kakashi actually tracking down Itachi immediately after the Uchiha Genocide ‘cause let’s face it, he’s that good of a tracker/shinobi (even if Itachi can completely kick his ass) and single-minded when in mission-mode and was clearly not one of the ANBU/Root or S-Rank jonin enlisted for this. (If he’s going rogue instead of bending the rules for a half-hearted sanctioned pursuit? Call it his Obito&Rin Guilt Complex + remaining guilt over not keeping a better eye on his “junior” when Minato literally dragged Kakashi out of that life for a time so he could recover a bit mentally.)

Anyway. Kakashi catches up to Itachi.

But instead of finding the tween prodigy hypervigilent in bloodlust and ready to engage him in a battle, he accidentally finds the kid mid-breakdown absolutely losing it in grief and guilt once Itachi presumed he was a good distance away from any Konoha or Atasuki pursuers.

And well. This is awkward. And not at all what Kakashi expected.

Does this finally knock Kakashi a bit out of his avoidant apathy to take a more active interest in Sasuke’s and Naruto’s lives? Maybe? But well, it’s a start. Only trash abandon their comrades.

Sometimes you glimpse a character who barely shows up but has such tantalizing implications and possibility of depth that it haunts you forever

[justsomeoneunordinary]

If we tweak canon just a teensy bit, we can make Katsuyu a sea slug (she certainly already looks it) instead of a terrestrial one, from the seas surrounding Uzushio, thus giving Tsunade a connection to her Uzumaki side that Kishimoto failed to do so himself

[macsdayoff]

hey gang <3 umm new etsy listing just dropped i'm doing anime sprites! i have the ones shown here but i also do custom ones so if you want a character not on here there's an option for that too :D

I'm kinda curious about the period of time when Minato was Hokage, because there's so much you could say about Konoha depending on it. It could be that I don't remember what the manga says about it too, but anyway.

We know that before Minato was Hokage, the discrimination towards jinchuurikis was high. We know it from Kushina's story. After Minato, the jinchuurikis discrimination was not exactly as bad as it could have been (and the bar is soooo low) in physical terms, but the level of sheer isolation was ridiculous. Sure, Kushina had guards and she lived in a tower with a perimeter drawn around it, one that she couldn't surpass. The difference is that Kushina knew why she was being isolated, there was someone willing to teach her about it right from the start, a family member even if distant, someone with the same experience.

All Naruto knew is that he was unwanted. He had no family, no one was willing to guide him. No, not even Iruka. I'm talking about before in the manga, before Iruka realized how much Naruto needed him and did something about it.

If that was before and after, how was it during the time Minato was Hokage?

Did Minato push for Kushina to become Hokage? Was the idea rejected? Did he get angry? It was her dream after all. Or did they realize it would be impossible so they pushed Minato to go for it? Were they sad about the idea of Kushina having to live her dream through Minato, because they wouldn't let her go for it? When did Kushina give up and change her goal in life?

Did Minato tell anyone about his plan on how to get rid of the jinchuuriki discrimination? Did he talk about it with Kushina? We know that they planned Naruto's birth and tried to make it as safe as possible. When the time to seal Kurama within Naruto came, they both knew how Konoha would treat Naruto. Minato wanted Naruto to be viewed as the son of a hero, but his wishes were thrown aside as soon as his body was cold enough.

With no law to protect the jinchuuriki of the kyubi, I wonder how bold the people of Konoha were in their discrimination against Kushina while Minato was Hokage. Times were different, Minato was highly respected and feared, but how many times did he have to tell someone to mind their words? How many times did he catch Kushina avoiding a certain restaurant or a street? Did he ever feel a slight of resentment against his home for the way they treated his wife? His pregnant wife?

Were there rumors of the child being a monster for being the son of a jinchuuriki? It could be that some Konoha parents telling their kids to not play with the little Uzumaki/Namikaze was a thing before Naruto was even born?

From what I've seen, Konoha has no gentleness for kids of prestigious lineages. Being a child of a powerful shinobi makes your life worse, in fact. A million times over: it happened to Sasuke, to Neji, it happened to Kakashi in the generation before them, it happened to Itachi in the in-between.

I don't think that being the son of the hokage would have saved Naruto for being mistreated by the village. Not when his mother was a jinchuuriki.

It just makes me wonder, you know?

In the time he had, how did Minato try to change things to protect his family?

Was it a matter of needing more time? Or there wasn't a plan at all?

In commemoration of this

Let us remember what Frida can do canonically

gave her the ol' Shikamaru's Kagemane no Jutsu treatment for ninpo which is fitting really since

And what's more ninja than shadow manipulation?

Just y'know, from a 90s weeb standpoint who saw how fucking obsessed U.S media was with ninja in the 80s and 90s, the earlier TMNT could have stood to be MORE ninja. The newer iterations kinda sorta have gotten "more ninja" instead of generic milk chocolate martial arts with a shiny ninja candy coating

Alright, friends. Two day collectors convention starting today. Most of the day I will be unavailable, I will be back later tonight! I can always try discord, but the convention center is notorious for bad signal.

There's something lurking in the water (SNSMonth24 prompts - week 1)

Hiiiii late to the party as usual, but I have been participating in this year's @snsmonth24. This time, I've paired each official prompt with a monster and "spooktober" prompt just to spice them up and 'tis the season. Here are the week 1 story summaries. As always, full fics can be read here on my AO3 😊

AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR FAVOURITE MONSTER, HORROR, SUPERNATURAL, AND SPOOKY WRITING AUs AND TROPES ARE!! I GOT 31 OF THESE TO COOK UP 👹

----------------------------------------------------------

1 - Sun and Moon | Murder investigation

The palm on her left-hand stings, and she digs her nails into the small circular ring forever burned into her skin. A silent fuck off to Sasuke who'd become nosier than ever since they started their investigation into this string of serial murders. She used to rely on the fact that she could feel his emotions through their connection, that Sasuke the unreachable finally was. Now she understands why he used to get so pissed off about the lack of privacy.

(While investigating a brutal serial murder, Sasuke silently comforts a disturbed Naruto.)

----------------------------------------------------------

2 - Beach | Siren AU Murderous mermaids (Siren!AU)

"Hey. Naruto, right?"

She nodded slowly, not quite sure if this was a dream. His smile only grew wider, revealing his long, sharp teeth.

"Cool. Now, we're even."

He'd pushed himself off the shore with ease, jumping back into the water and swam away.

(Naruto had always been drawn to the oceans surrounding Uzushio, but she never imagined that the mythical tales of monsters swirling beneath the surface could ever be real.)

----------------------------------------------------------

3 - A happy ending | Murderous mermaids (Siren!AU)

“No.”

“Sasuke, please. There must be some truth to—”

“—I’d have to kill you, Naruto,” he eventually blurted out, fingers wrapped around her throat as he lividly barred down over her. “I’d have to kill you. And there would be no guarantee that it would work. The last story of a human being turned is over two centuries old, and that’s assuming it’s real.”

(Sister fic to "Beach" and pt. II of the "Siren AU" spooktober prompt.)

----------------------------------------------------------

4 - On a date | Halloween Party

"I'm not going to apologize for how good my ass looks in those shorts, and it's your fault for agreeing to go to a business meeting with your father outside of town during the Halloween weekend where you know Ino's house party is always the biggest, baddest event everyone goes to."

If Sasuke could breath fire right now, he would.

(In which Ino post's a picture of Naruto on Instagram captioned "Make Men Sluts Again™")

----------------------------------------------------------

5 - Canon divergence | Demon sacrifice

She just—she never thought she'd use it at all let alone this young. She'd never expected Sasuke to switch sides months ago. She never thought their rotten friendship would blossom through the layers of thorns into something more. She tried to swallow away her regret.

(In which Naruto activates the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.)

----------------------------------------------------------

6 - Travelling together | Hunting a cryptid

"We are not going to get jumped by strange mythical creatures in the forest. The worst thing that can get us, is a coyote or a bear."

"You saw the statue of his metal ass. You don't know what he's capable of."

"Are you afraid of sleeping in the woods, Naruto?" Sasuke sneered, briefly glancing at her before his eyes returned to the winding road ahead. "Or are you too chicken shit to admit that maybe this hot idea Kiba had was actually stupid?"

(While camping with their friends, Sasuke and Naruto encounter something mischievous lurking in the woods.)

----------------------------------------------------------

7 - Jealousy (Monstrous enough)

Honestly, her suitors were lucky she was mostly oblivious to someone paying attention to her in a romantic or flirtatious way. It made it easier for him, that he didn’t need to rip out someone’s spine through their throat with his bare hands or scrub their eye sockets clean with kunai when she’d punch people out first or a simple icy glare would be enough to cause a recoil.

He never imagined however, that his undoing would be that stupid fucking pillow she bought.

(The only monstrous thing about this one, is Sasuke's hilariously monstrous jealousy.)

what if whenever ashura and indora reincarnate like all their lives do that, no separate souls or however it works
