I just want Kakashi's biggest problems to be "Obito got hot" and "everyone desires my father carnally" instead of "everybody I've ever loved is dead," is that too much to ask?

Guardian (Part 1)
Sakumo Hatake x Sarutobi!Reader
Jiraiya x Sarutobi!Reader
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11
Synopsis: Your brother gave you an assignment, "Go ask Sakumo Hatake if he needs help with his newborn." It was a simple task, but it snowballed into so much more.
TW: Mention of death and suicide
Ages:
The reader is the same age as the Sannins - 26 at the beginning
Sakumo is 38 at the beginning
A/n: There will be multiple parts to this. I've never seen this concept before but it may be my favorite.
Naruto Masterlist: Here
Your fist hovered over the wooden door, unsure why you had suddenly grown hesitant. Your brother told you to see if Sakumo Hatake needed help with his newborn considering his wife died during childbirth. It was an assignment, nothing more. But something within you made you feel funny. You, of course, knew what was making you feel so funny, but you had to push it down.
The door swung open, making you jump in your spot, "Sakumo! Hello. Um…" Your mouth grew dry as he looked down at you expectantly. The area under his eyes was dark and heavy; you could tell he hadn't been getting any sleep. Raising a newborn was hard, but it must have been impossible when doing it alone. He nodded at you, encouraging you to continue. "I-"
A shrill cry hit your ears, and your eyes traveled inside the dark house. Sakumo sighed, "Do you or Lord Third need something? If not, I need to go soothe Kakashi-"
"No! No. That's why I'm here. Hiruzen asked me to check and see if you needed a hand."
Sakumo grew silent at that, eyebrows creasing as he tried to figure out what to say. Kakashi's cries rose in volume, and your maternal instincts made you ansty, "May I?" Your question flew out before you could stop it, he needed help, and you knew he wouldn't ask for it.
He stepped to the side and allowed you inside his home. You moved toward the source of the crying before finally ending up in the nursery. Your lip curled into a sweet smile, eyes crinkling as you cooed down at the white-haired baby.
"Hi there, Kakashi."
Sakumo stood frozen in the doorway as he watched your hands cradle the baby before bringing him out of the crib and into your arms, "Do you have milk? I can try rocking him to sleep" Sakumo nodded before silently leaving you two to grab the formula. You began to bounce Kakashi, coos and sweet words leaving your lips as you slowly calmed the babies screeching until all that came out were little whimpers.
Sakumo returned a few minutes later with the formula and found you already in the rocking chair. You shot him a smile before extending out your hand for the food, "Thank you." Your whisper was soothing even to him, "Why don't you lay down? I can watch him through the night."
He liked that idea. He hadn't gotten much sleep in the past few weeks. Without another word, the older man headed to his bedroom, leaving you alone with Kakashi.
3 Years Later
Over time, you had grown closer to the Hatake family and began dating Sakumo. Your brother was initially displeased with the predicament but accepted it once he saw how happy you were. As Hiruzen looked down at the adoption paper, he realized you loved this family more than anything else.
"Are you sure you want to adopt Kakashi?"
You nodded at your brother before repositioning the child on your hip. Sakumo stood beside you, bouncing on his toes as he waited for Lord Third's approval. Hiruzen pursed his lips as he took in the three of you. "Are you two going to get married?" Your eyes widened at the question. Marriage was never brought up; it didn't seem like Sakumo wanted that. You didn't blame him, either. He had lost his wife three years prior, so even just dating you felt wrong. "I won't sign these papers until you promise to marry her someday-"
"Hiruzen-"
"My sister deserves a family, and a family includes marriage, not just kids."
"Hiruzen, that is not true, and you know it-"
Sakumo cut off your angry words by grabbing your free hand, "I'll marry her. Don't worry about that part of it. Please, though, for right now, sign the papers. She already is his mother, but I want that to be legally true as well."
Your mouth and eyes were wide open in shock as you looked at Sakumo beside you. Was he being serious?
"Very well," Hiruzen called out before plucking his pen from the desk. "I expect you two to be married within the year" Sakumo smiled at that before letting go of your hand to move towards your brother. "Thank you, Lord Third. For everything"
Hiruzen sent a glare up at the man. He really didn't intend for you to fall in love with the older man; all he wanted was for you to help. His eyes drifted over to you and Kakashi. A smile proudly adorned your lips as you held the three-year-old close to you. While Hiruzen didn't like how this turned out, he couldn't deny that your happiness made him feel better. Hiruzen sighed and handed the papers to Sakumo before leaning back.
"Within the year."
Sakumo gripped the paper and nodded quickly, "Within the year. You have my word."
The rain pounded down hard against your umbrella as you hurried back home with Kakashi. "Mama, do you think Daddy will be better?" Your blood ran cold at the question. Sakumo had done something against the Ninja code, causing many to turn their backs on him. It broke him, broke him harder than you could heal him. Kakashi's fingers dug into your hand at your silence, silently wincing at how the diamond ring bit into his flesh. His dad had been acting funny. Even though he was four, he knew something was wrong.
"I don't know, baby. I hope so," your voice trailed off as your eyes caught sight of the front door of your house. Sakumo was supposed to be going somewhere; you didn't expect him to return so soon. Your heart raced as you got closer. You tried to be around him whenever possible. It was the only way to keep him safe from himself. "Kakashi baby, sit here, okay? Mama is gonna go in quick."
The four-year-old nodded before sitting in the chair on the porch, happily content with watching the rain. Your breath was shaky as you moved into the house, panic rising in your throat as you saw him on the floor. "Oh… no" Your lip trembled as you approached. Maybe he was just sleeping or relaxing.
Wishful thinking.
"Oh Gods," you cried out quietly, hand clasping over your mouth as you took in Sakumo's lifeless form. Your hand shook violently against your lips, pain seeping through you as you thought through what you needed to do. Who do you go to? Kakashi couldn't see this, but you couldn't just leave him. A name flashed through your head, causing you to inhale sharply. He was the only one who could help you.
You knelt to Sakumo, hand lightly brushing through his hair. His skin was cold against your hand, making you feel lightheaded. "I'm so sorry, Saku," you whispered before kissing his temple. Your tears fell onto his face, cascading down his features before landing on the floor below. Realizing that Kakashi would grow antsy and come in, you stood up and walked towards the door.
Kakashi jumped in the seat as you emerged from the house again, "Is daddy in there?"
Your heart lurched at the question, but you ignored it and picked him up, "We are going to an old friend of mine. Okay?"
The roof extending over his front door did nothing to shield you and Kakashi from the rain. The young boy shivered against you, and you scolded yourself for forgetting the umbrella back at the house. You took a deep breath as you brought your fist up to pound at the door urgently. Retracting your fist, you pulled Kakashi deeper into you, hoping to warm him up. Your hair was sopping wet, and your makeup was ruined. You knew the man behind the door would be concerned. So you prepared for it.
But you weren't prepared for this.
The door swung open, and your eyes widened. The woman before you was scantily clothed, and you fought the urge to cover Kakashi's eyes. "Can I help you?"
"Uh… Is Jiraiya here?"
She pursed her red lips at that before eyeing the child on your hip. "He's busy."
You breathed a sigh of relief, happy he was at least here. "I need to talk to him. Can you please-"
"Jiraiya! Who the hell is this kid!?"
Your eyebrows furrowed at her sudden shift in demeanor, but looking down at Kakashi made you realize what she was getting at. "Oh. No, no, this isn't-"
"JIRAIYA. So HELP ME IF THIS IS YOUR KID-"
"What the hell are you yelling about-"
Jiraiya stumbled out into the hall before freezing at the sight of you and Kakashi. "Y/n" His voice sent you into a spiral as you took him in. He was wearing nothing but boxers, and he was out of breath. You eyed the pair before giving a sheepish smile. "Sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt but-"
"It's okay…" he breathed as he heard the thickness in your voice. He knew you like the back of his hand, and he knew that something serious had happened.
"What do you need, baby?"
"Baby?! Who the hell is she?!"
"Akira, I think you need to go home-"
"Excuse me!? I'm your girlfriend. She needs to go home."
"I need you," you called out between their arguing, not immensely enjoying being the cause of such discourse. Jiraiya nodded before heading back into the bedroom to get dressed. His girlfriend, Akira, as you learned seconds ago, stormed after him. Ranting and raving about how he was cheating on her. He ignored her, causing her to fly out and storm back towards you. "You think you can just come here and take him from me!?"
"No. I'm-" You cut yourself off. Your next word was going to be 'engaged,' it was something you would say to the men at the bar, and it had become second nature when approaching the subject of dating. But it wasn't true anymore. Were you still engaged? Even if he was dead? You let your gaze fall to the floor. "I'm not interested in dating."
You hoped the words would calm her, but they only seemed to anger her. "So you're going to take him from me and leave him?! You're a real bitch-"
"Akira, that's enough. She's engaged."
Akira shut her mouth at that as she let her eyes travel to your left hand dangling by your side. You grew uncomfortable with her staring and adjusted Kakashi on your right hip. Jiraiya brushed past Akira before grabbing your left hand, "Come on. Take me to where you need me."
You nodded before pulling him with you toward your home. Akira still screamed at him, crying out how she'd never see him again if he kept going, but he didn't listen. His only concern right now was you. You, however, couldn't help but feel bad for causing a fight. "So sorry for that-"
"She doesn't matter right now; what's going on?"
His words were sharp with a warning. You came before everyone else; no one could replace your importance to him. You eyed Kakashi, who looked up at the big man with wide eyes, he had never seen anyone so tall before, and while he was shy, he couldn't help his curiosity. "Mama, who's this?"
"An old friend of mine, Kakashi. His name is Jiraiya."
"He's tall."
You smiled softly at his awe-struck face, but it quickly fell once you realized you'd have to explain what happened in a few moments. Jiraiya didn't like that you weren't verbally telling him what was going on, but your actions and demeanor had him connecting the dots.
The house came into view, and you picked up the pace, anxiety filling your chest as you once more set Kakashi on the chair. "We will be right back, okay? Stay here. Do not come in."
"Mama, I miss Daddy."
Your wince went unnoticed by Jiraiya as he entered the house. "I know, baby, I know. Just please stay here and do not come in" Kakashi bit his lip but nodded. Pressing a kiss to his temple, you started towards the door.
Jiraiya knelt beside Sakumo, fingers pressed into his neck as if checking for a faint pulse. "I don't know what to do" Your words were soft as you moved to him. Jiraiya looked up at you sadly as if apologizing for not finding a pulse; it made you sick. "We need to get your brother-"
"What about Kakashi? He needs to know. How do I… How do I even tell him what happened?"
Jiraiya didn't say anything. For he didn't know how to tell a child that their father was so sad he couldn't keep living. He couldn't bear it. Turning on your heel, you headed back to Kakashi. You wouldn't tell him everything, just enough for his little brain to understand.
The cool air hit your face as you exited the house, lips trembling as you prepared for the most brutal talk of your life. "Can I come in now, mommy?" You shook your head before kneeling in front of him. How the hell were you going to do this?
"Daddy's not okay, is he, mommy?"
You shook your head at him, tears brimming along your lash line as you fought the urge to throw up. "Daddy is not okay," your confirmation caused his brown eyes to well up with tears as you ran a hand through his wet hair. "Can I say goodbye?" You winced at the question before shaking your head no at him. A cry flew from his lips, and you drug him into your embrace, "I'm sorry, baby. Just know he loved you more than anything. Okay?" This would be his first time experiencing death, and you would have to help him through it. You had to be strong for him.
There was no time to mourn.
Kakashi sobbed into your shoulder harder as you rocked him back and forth, cooing and promising him that you were there. Jiraiya stood by the door, watching you comfort the child. He knew you would push the emotions down until you exploded. You would put Kakashi first. Rightfully so, of course, but as he watched you both comfort and fight off your own pain, he realized you needed him around.
Akira would not like this.

Writing Prompts: Canon Divergent AUs - Butterfly Edition!
The idea is to change one (or a couple) aspects of canon and see how the story shifts as a result. It's a great exercise for character comprehension and of course your imagination, while still having canon as a helpful crutch. Not to mention how fun it is to see things play out differently ^_^
Tool Tip: Adding OCs/Places/Powers etc is fine but try to keep things within the rules of the source material!
Pre Start of Main Story:
-Sakumo lives/Kakashi's mystery mother actually exists
-Rin/Obito/Both live/Kakashi dies
-Kushina/Minato/Both survive
-All Uchiha/Mikoto/Fugaku/Shisui survives/Itachi stays
-Orochimaru/Tsunade/Jiraiya/All stay
-Danzo murders Hiruzen (f.e. by having him "KIA with Kyuubi")
-Ichiraku Ramen doesn't exist
-Road To Ninja it: Add a RTN character as the original's twin, or replace them entirely
-Iruka dies alongside his parents/his parents survive the Kyuubi Attack
-Itachi Boogaloo: change his behaviour during the massacre
x. (Crack) Itachi tells Sasuke to keep eating his vegetables, do his homework diligently, stay healthy and make some friends
y. Itachi tells Sasuke the truth inside the genjutsu
z. Early Concept Itachi who is just plain evil
Suggestion: The pressure and war trauma got to him and turned him into a high functioning sociopath. He only acted the part of a kind brother and murdered the Uchiha because he viewed them as weak and beneath him. He kept Sasuke alive because he views him as cute in a 'bug crawling for its life' kind of way and loves seeing his expressions of despair and rage.
Main Story:
-Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura/Kakashi dies during Wave Arc
-Haku/Zabuza/Both survive
-Gaara succeeds in killing Sakura during the Suna Ambush
-Anko takes Sasuke under her wing (curse mark connection)
-Sasuke/Naruto/Both die at VOTE1
-Naruto joins Sasuke in defecting
-Naruto and Sasuke run away together, but not to join Orochimaru
-Orochimaru Foul: He gets fed up with Sasuke's attitude and decides to keep him blind until he's ready to possess him. He steals one/both of Sasuke's eyes in an attempt to keep him docile.
x. Sasuke goes catatonic.
y. Sasuke goes ballistic. He dies/He runs.
z. Sasuke is found and rescued.
Bonuses that you can add:
a. Madara plotline doesn't exist
b. Kaguya plotline doesn't exist
c. Mix and match prompts you want together
P.S. If you write any of these let me know I'd love to read them <3
P.P.S. Follow up with more prompts from later on in the story in the makings. Maybe.
P.P.P.S. Of course you can also change any other aspect I haven't brought up here!

TBH I think Orochimaru's obsession with developing and discovering new jutsu is just a byproduct of his desire for immortality at any cost, and that his views of self-serving immortality was a gradual logical conclusion for him than an innate one.
Early Years
He was orphaned as a child and showed a desire to see his parents again. Hiruzen commented that the shed snake skin on his parents' graves is a symbol of rebirth and rejuvenation, and so Orochimaru naturally took that to heart and it became a motif of his fighting style and abilities. He grew up to see Jiraiya, despite being a fool, as a comrade, and he greatly respected Tsunade's chakra control and spirited nature (Orochimaru is far from a misogynist in any respect) as well as her ability to put Jiraiya in his place when he got too goofy. Orochimaru took Tsunade's little brother Nawaki under his wing, or at least doted on him as a friend of the Senju family or like an uncle. He was his sensei, so at least in an official capacity he had responsibilities toward him, responsibilities that were not inherently self-serving. And so he had at least four people (Hiruzen included) upon which he could say he was close to.
Nawaki's Death
While Orochimaru was a quietly confident, reserved, and cagey individual in his early years, Nawaki's horrible death shook him as much as it did Tsunade. For the first time since the death of his parents, he felt an emptiness and sorrow that he was unable to properly fix the source of. He was powerless to reverse death then as a child as he was in that moment while watching Tsunade sob uncontrollably over her little brother's body. He was not one for tears, he was not one to feel despair in the capacity that everyone around him seemed freely able to do, but in his own way he felt it. The fragility of life, the ease in which people can pass away, and the finality of mortality -- pointless, it was pointless. And so his heart hardened more that day.
Dan's Death and Tsunade
Upon Tsunade's second tragedy with the death of her lover Dan (during the Second Shinobi World War), I feel like Orochimaru had by then developed his views to the point that love was not enough to shield people from their ultimate expendability in life. Tsunade loved Nawaki fiercely, and he died. Tsunade loved Dan fiercely, and he died. Orochimaru was orphaned at a very young age but he doesn't recall hating his parents, and they were dead.
He admired Tsunade's concurrent crusade to train medical nin and place them in team cells so as to significantly lower the mortality rate during missions--now pushed even more fiercely after Dan's death, but deep down inside he knew it was staving off the inevitable. Still, he did not find her contemptible for such efforts because they were driven by logic and strategy as well as passion.
Ame Orphans
Another thought: Before the Sannin split up to do their own thing (Jiraiya to travel; Tsunade to train medic nin, at least initially; Orochimaru to work with Danzo, I guess), the Sannin met Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato in the Rain village, again during the Second War. Orochimaru's first instinct was to kill them, but the line delivery of his suggestion was not one of malice or sadism but pity, and not even a mocking pity. The war with Hanzo and the destruction that they the Sannin had caused was not unknown to Orochimaru since he had a huge part in it, nor did he feel guilt about it, per se. He was realistic about it, just as he was realistic in claiming that the trio of kids would likely suffer from starvation and disease before dying cold and alone in some burned-down house. This was a very accurate assessment of the situation before Jiraiya intervened and decided to train them for a spell. This was perhaps one of the final times that Orochimaru displayed genuine sentiment at the thought of death as a form of personal loss and suffering rather than the individual as a unit/pawn that can be cultivated, manipulated, and ultimately broken or discarded when it can no longer be used.
Sakumo Hatake and Disaffection with the Leaf
While Tsunade has clearly shown that tragedy and death do not necessarily break an individual, shinobi are successful partly because that is one of their most enduring rules -- no emotion, get the mission done. This is just conjecture, but it is unlikely that Orochimaru had not at least had a passing conversation with Sakumo Hatake, given how much renown he accumulated as the “White Fang of Konoha” during the Second War, and the news of his suicide after being branded a disgrace for choosing to put the lives of his team over the success of the mission may have further solidified Orochimaru’s growing conviction that people fear death so much that they are willing to act irrationally and forego what is logically most beneficial for the group because death’s severing of peoples’ close bonds is more detrimental and dangerous than the potential for failure.
And even though Sakumo succeeded in preventing the deaths of his comrades, his very human decision--a decision he was able to pull off because he was strong enough and capable enough to do so, an ability that Orochimaru did not possess in the moment when Nawaki died, an ability Tsunade did not possess when Dan died in her arms--still led to his death by his own hand. Tragic irony by this point was only becoming somewhat comical to Orochimaru, something that you can't help but laugh at because it is so ridiculous and yet the people around him are so blind. I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch that this scandal, if Orochimaru had paid attention to it at all, wouldn’t have furthered his graudal dissatisfaction and contempt of the Leaf for their circumstantial and hypocritical war time politics. Orochimaru always operated in shades of gray, but the Leaf's inability to reconcile the psychological anchors of their soldiers with the requirements of a shinobi must have read to him as being foolish and wasteful and a futile attempt at denying human beings' true nature, a nature that he himself had begun to gradually shed over the years.
Little Side Note of Orochimaru's Ability to Connect with Others
To say "camaraderie" and "friendship" would sound too Shonen, because Orochimaru did not grow up without enjoying the company of his sensei and teammates, but he was someone who either had the willpower to cut those ties and find satisfaction in his own company (like how some people just prefer to be alone and never report feeling 'lonely'), and thus psychically fulfilled with his own person (arguably, like Sasori, or Kakuzu to a certain extent) or he was born with something that allowed him to form bonds with others but those bonds were separate from his Self. He could live and thrive without them, sever them if he had to when he pleased if they furthered his own goals. Opportunistic and self-sufficient, independent but not the point of being incapable of working in tandem with others. Mentally, he was more than versatile and can not be be placed squarely in either the "Does Not Play Nice With Others" or "A True Team Player" boxes. Whatever is best for the situation and the long run is good enough for him, and he is not someone who does not clutch his chest in pain when his actions unintentionally benefit another, unless that benefit interferes with his own net gain.
Tanzaku Town and the Offer of Resurrection
When Orochimaru and Tsunade finally met again in Tanzaku, I honestly don't think that Orochimaru was kidding when he said he would resurrect Tsunade's loved ones in exchange for her healing his arms. He had been working on this technique for a long-ass time, upgrading it from Tobirama's original jutsu, and he was more than willing to show it off and give her a taste of it in return for her services. This here is where Orochimaru's demented way of thinking seems to reveal itself most clearly, though: For Orochimaru, the most powerful driving force that can encourage or break someone is grief and love. He saw how Dan and Nawaki's deaths ruined Tsunade for a time and changed her to the point that she developed a severe phobia of blood after the former died of blood loss (something he used to shake her up to compel her to agree, what an asshole). Playing with her head aside, I think that in that moment, him offering her her loved ones back seemed logical to him. She had been pining for them for so long beneath all that brassy exterior and gambling and medical ninjutsu, so why would she not jump at the chance to see them again?
But he underestimated Tsunade's grudge factor and her own maturity. She was able to throw away the ability to see them because of what he had done to the Leaf Village, the place that all three Sannin had grown disillusioned with in their own way, and that surprised him big time because on top of him having been one of her closest companions for a long time and seeing how their deaths wrecked her he had also become a master at manipulation and human psychology to Hannibal Lecter-like levels.
Aaaand that's all I got. At what point he went all Dr. Machiavellian Mengele, I have no clue, but he wasn't a completely heartless bastard in the beginning.
Edit: Added a few more ideas cuz my thoughts were running in every direction when I first wrote this and I wanted to get them down as soon as possible. P.S. If you have any more insights or want to debate with me on any of the characters or backstories I have mentioned, please do. I am not an Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, or Sakumo stan, so any of your insights would be coolio. Also, apologies for long-winded sentences. I don't breathe sometimes when I'm trying to make a thought and it reflects in how I write :O

Why I like Sakumo x Orochimaru
I just looked up Sakumo x Orochimaru for the first time here on Tumblr despite me reading every single SakuOro fic there ever was, and apparently people don’t like it? I mean, I suppose at first, I was skeptical as well, like? How would that even happen? They didn’t even interact with one another. But then I eventually fell in love with the ship, probably because I like Orochimaru lol.
So first, let me talk about what I like about Orochimaru, or at least the Orochimaru that exists in my mind. I am under the impression, from the flashbacks, that Orochimaru wasn’t all that bad back when the Sannin was still complete. Jiraiya and Tsunade were there for him and made sure to keep him in the light. As we see during the time when he offered to kill off the three orphans. To me, that shows that Orochimaru was morally gray even before, but I don’t think he was malicious during that scenario. Think of it this way, they were orphans in a war-stricken place in a shinobi world, they would steal for food and they’d be able to survive, but time will come where they’d be caught and killed or taken and sold. Either way, had Jiraiya not stayed with them, they were going to suffer regardless. So, in my eyes, Orochimaru believed he was being helpful. (Or maybe I try to look too much for a good side in people lol I’m working on it I swear)
Then Jiraiya stayed behind with the orphans. Then Tsunade left. Then Sarutobi was busy with his Hokage duties, and we all know Orochimaru wouldn’t run to him for help anyway. And suddenly, Orochimaru was all alone in a village that barely tolerated him. Because the villagers didn’t really like Orochimaru like how they adored his two other teammates – who left the village in wartime might I add! Furthermore, he was also grieving because I assume that Nawaki was his student since he was with him on the mission that eventually killed him and his teammates.
He was isolated and grieving without his two anchors. He was already morally gray even before all of this happened, so I see why he had ended up doing those horrible experiments. He started becoming obsessed with eternal life back when his parents died, now with his genin team dead and his teammates leaving him, I can see how he’d end up the way he did. And I bet my entire arm that Danzo had a hand in how Orochimaru eventually started with the experiments. Who else would provide him with orphans to experiment in but that ugly, slimy, disgusting, war-hawk bastard? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not excusing Orochimaru’s experiments because those are horrible and he deserves death at least 100x, but also, what if he wasn’t alone and he had someone to keep him afloat before he even went down that road? That’s where Sakumo comes in.
We are all suckers for aloof morally gray men with golden retriever boyfriends! Admit it!! Okay maybe not all of us, but I bet a lot of us like that pairing! I adore those pairings aaaaa
I’m not incredibly certain regarding the timeline of when Sakumo died and when Orochimaru left, but let’s pretend that after Tsunade left Sakumo was still alive. What if Sakumo was there for Orochimaru when his teammates left him and his genin died? What if, in return, Orochimaru was there for him when the villagers were being stupid and hating on him for saving his team? What if they were there for each other before everything went bad? It’s all of those “what ifs” that makes the Sakumo x Orochimaru ship really attractive to me personally.
Side note: I also like how good of a parent Orochimaru is to Mitsuki and I want Kashi to have a nice childhood that’s all.
I’m not saying everyone should ship SakuOro because that’s silly, we all have different tastes and I know a lot of Naruto fans aren’t fond of Oro and that’s perfectly fine! I just wanted to give insight on why I, personally, like the ship. <3
#Sakumo x Orochimaru#SakuOro#Naruto#Parent Orochimaru#Sensei Orochimaru?#Sakumo Hatake#Kakashi Hatake as Orochimaru's kid#I 100% blame Kalira and Blackkat for my love of this ship#They wrote it so beautifully I eventually fell in love#Orochimaru

Sudden temptation to doodle tweaked Canon AU, in the sense that the Uzumaki-Senju women are given spotlight, and Uzumaki-Senju Nawaki is Oro's student:
So I've always enjoyed the idea that the Senju family (Mito, Nawaki, Tsunade's parents etc.) sort of pull Tsunades's teammates into their orbit. So in a sense Oro and Jiraiya are dear to grandma Mito, and knew Nawaki since he was a kid.
Orochimaru is Nawaki's sensei, Tsunade has Shizune and Jiraiya has Minato eventually. Something something giving Orochimaru some of the most prized students (Nawaki Senju -Uzumaki, and eventually Kushina) to ensure his ties to the village since he's "clanless". On the other hand, Jiraiya's implicitly trusted I guess 🤔, basically Sandaime's way of instilling loyalty in his concern for his pupil I guess idk.
lots of other people have written how a lot of potential yondaime candidates get off-ed (Dan, Sakumo, Nawaki could be indirect needling at Tsunade) so forth, and that this is all Danzo's ploy. In this Au, taking that to be true, I enjoy the thought of Mito and Tsunade using their political weight to protect Nawaki/Oro as much as possible and stuff.
Lol my thoughts are really jumbled but I think it's cool for the Sannin to be absorbed into Tsunade's influential family, and as a result remain faithful to the village not the corrupt higher-ups sort of sense. Mostly interested in the Oro X Senju/Uzumaki shenanigans and general Women Being Awesome And Influencing Plot 👌😂
Maybe I'll draw stuff that will clarify all this further since words are not my forte.
TLDR more Sannin Era general interactions focused on Tsunade and the people around her 👌👌👌👌👌

002 for Oro if you will~
doot da doot yay memes | accepting !
002 | Give me a character & I will tell you
How I feel about this character: NO BUT HONEEEYYYY, LEMME TELL YOU - i only got hooked on naruto bc this snakeperson!!! fr!! when i first saw orochi, i knew they were going to be one of the very best characters - i love orochi!!!
All the people I ship romantically with this character: i'm a multiship trash so it's no wonder that i also ship a lot of characters with orochi - my main otp for orochi is jiraoro!! i've recently got into madaoro as well as orotsu too, however my one true love is sakumo x orochi, also?? koji x orochi too bc i'm a whore
My non-romantic OTP for this character: i really like the idea of amado and orochimaru as a crazy scientist brotp - it's been eating my brain for some time now lmao
My unpopular opinion about this character: they are not as evil and unfeeling as they like to think ( and present ) themself to be - hear me out, i get that everything orochi did is BAD and AWFULLY INHUMAN BUT- you can see the emotions bubbling under the surface, they cry when killing the sandaime, they are visibly sad that nawaki ( and later jiraiya ) died, and so and so. for that reason i loved the turn the character had in boruto, even tho oro was nerfed a lot.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: a filler where they and jiraiya talk - either during the time they were on the same team or while jiraiya tracked them. we got something like it once but it was so brief that left me wanting more ( we also get to see that orochi took a technique that jiraiya uses and adapted it to fit their own abilities, which makes me so happy bc in a way that's orochimaru's own way of acknowledging that jiraiya is talented )
my OTP: sakumo x orochi and jiraoro for sure, but also?? orojiratsu & jiramadaoro ftw
my cross over ship: ofc it's gonna be muzan/orochi bc reasons
a headcanon fact: orochi sometimes ( not often, of course ) visits jiraiya's grave. doesn't say a word, nor prays or anything like that - but they sure smile when a warm breeze passes them when they are leaving, a sense of familiarity to it - as if jiraiya is watching over them from wherever he is ( spoiler: he is, and he's so happy oro came back to konoha )

Guardian (Part 2)
Jiraiya x Sarutobi!Reader
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12
Synopsis: Your brother gave you an assignment, "Go ask Sakumo Hatake if he needs help with his newborn." It was a simple task, but it snowballed into so much more.
A/n: Jiraiya makes me want to bark man.
Naruto Masterlist: Here
His brown eyes were wide as he stared shyly at the big man. You and Kakashi had been staying with Jiraiya for a couple of months now, and while the young child had grown fond of the Sannin, he was still unbearably shy. It didn't help that you had moved from your home, his safe space. It was something you felt terrible about, but you just couldn't get the image of Sakumo on the floor out of your head; it gave you nightmares to the point that Jiraiya was begging you to move in with him, even if it was for a little bit.
Upon agreeing to the change, Jiraiya quickly made his apartment feel like home for both of you. He even painted the spare room Kakashi's favorite color before filling it with all the toys a young boy could only dream of having. It was sickeningly sweet, and while the darkness still weighed heavy on your heart and mind, you were starting to see the light. Working at the daycare helped. It brought in extra money and allowed you to take Kakashi along with you as he was at the age you were caring for. Jiraiya had told you many times you didn't have to work and that he'd take care of you, but you wanted to do this.
It was a good distraction.
Which is how you were here, blabbering about your day while cooking. Kakashi stood wide-eyed at Jiraiya's feet while Jiraiya listened adamantly to your every word. The big man felt Kakashi's gaze and looked down at him with a soft smile; he knew what he wanted.
"Hey, buddy. Do you want up?"
Kakashi curled into himself while his fingers played with one another. He averted his gaze before nodding; once he got the taste of seeing the world at Jiraiya's height, he couldn't get enough. You gazed at the pair over your shoulder with a smile on your lips as Jiraiya bent down to pull Kakashi up onto his hip. If you hadn't known that Kakashi's father was Sakumo, you would have thought Jiraiya was his father instead.
Both of their brown eyes moved to you, and you giggled at their cuteness, but it quickly morphed into pain as the image of Sakumo holding Kakashi flashed through your mind. Jiraiya's eyebrows furrowed as you pursed your lips and returned to the food. Jiraiya moved slowly to you before wrapping his free arm across your back, "What's wrong, sweetheart?" His whisper was soothing but didn't ease the ache in your soul. "Nothing. You just look like him sometimes, and I-" You cut yourself off as you swallowed down the thickness in your throat. Grief was hard.
This was hard.
Jiraiya nodded. He didn't need anything more than that to understand what was happening behind your pretty eyes. "It'll be okay. I got you," he whispered before kissing your temple. Both of you froze at the action, fully aware that a boundary was just crossed. You had just lost your fiancé, and he was dating someone, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that-"
You turned off the stove before stepping out of his embrace, "The food is almost done. Can you set the table for me?" He bit his lip at your sharp tone but nodded before moving towards the dining area to do as you asked. Your teary eyes stared at the food below you, stomach-churning as you felt the guilt eat you up inside. You only wanted to curl up in his arms and forget the world.
But he was gone, and with him, he took your world.
A small giggle floated through the air and brought you out of your depressing thoughts. You leaned forward to peek into the dining area, and a smile ghosted your lips at the sight. Kakashi was running around with a toy, giggling and playing like he didn't have a care in the world. Did Sakumo take your world with him? Wasn't the young child in the other room already your entire world?
"Y/n. Tables set," Jiraiya called out as he scooped up Kakashi. The child let out a playful squeal as Jiraiya ran him around the room like he was a superhero. A chuckle fell from your lips as you grabbed the bowls of prepared food. "Okay, okay, be careful! Don't break anything now," you scolded cheekily as you set the food on the table. Jiraiya let out a light laugh before plopping Kakashi in his booster seat.
Within minutes, the three of you had food and happily ate as a family. Your e/c eyes drifted between them, and they softened at that thought. A family. It was something you wanted with Sakumo, something you craved. But maybe you could still have that, even if it was just you and Kakashi against the world. You looked down at your food with a soft smile; what if you and Sakumo had another kid? What if none of this had ever happened?
A hand caressed yours, and it was then that you realized you were crying. You didn't look at Jiraiya, knowing that the sight of him would only break your heart further. Why did he have to look like him so much? "Is Mommy okay?" Kakashi's voice floated through your mind, which successfully snapped you out of it. You inhaled sharply and wiped the tears away as you shot a sweet smile in Kakashi's direction. His eyebrows were furrowed in confusion and worry; there had been a couple of times when he had unknowingly brought you out of the darkness of your mind. It scared him each time.
"Mommy is fine, baby. How is your food?"
Kakashi's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly before blabbering about how good it was. It was his favorite meal, and you made it specifically for him. "Good! I'm glad you like it. After dinner, I thought I could read you to sleep. How does that sound?"
He inhaled sharply at the question before clapping happily in his seat, "Yes, please!!!" the innocent tone caused a genuine smile to form on your lips, but it didn't reach your eyes. Jiraiya held his breath as he watched you tentatively; when it didn't seem like you'd break down, he took his hand away from yours.
Your frown turned into a scowl at the loss of his touch, and he was quick to put his hand back where it was seconds prior, a sheepish apology falling from his lips as he did so. You nodded at the apology before moving your hand to lace your fingers with his. It was an awkward angle, but you didn't care; you just needed to feel him. You still wouldn't look at him, but he didn't mind. Kakashi looked at your hands, and his little face scrunched up. You used to do that with his father, "Mama. Do you not love Daddy anymore?"
You flinched before looking at him in confusion, didn't love him anymore? He was all you could think about. But once you saw his eyes trained on where your fingers were laced with Jiraiya's, did you understand the question. Pulling your hand away from Jiraiya, you shook your head at the child, "I still love Daddy very much, buddy."
"Then why does Jiraiya do things with you like Daddy did?"
The guilt was eating away at you, but you didn't know how to answer. You knew what he meant. There had been many times that he'd seen Jiraiya holding you close while whispering sweet words in your ear. It looked suspicious, but what Kakashi didn't know - what he wouldn't understand - is that what Jiraiya was doing was comforting you as a friend.
"Jiraiya is just my friend, honey. No one will be able to replace your father."
Jiraiya didn't mean to wince at that statement, he knew it was empty; that sooner or later, you would move on. But you sounded so sure. Kakashi nodded at you before resuming eating, happy with your statement that you still loved his father. You shot a glance at Jiraiya, who had also started eating again, and if you hadn't known him for so long, you would have missed the pain in his eyes. Your words were true, at least for right now in your life. You loved Sakumo more than life itself; that would be a hard thing to replace.
Deciding to ignore his heartbroken face, you looked down at your food, picking at it as if you weren't hungry. Grief was hard, so very hard. But you'd get through it.
You had to.

Hidden in the Leaves Update
I’ve updated Hidden in the Leaves with chapter four: The Unthinkable.
Hidden in the Leaves
Rated: M; no major archive warnings apply
Pairings: Sakumo x Kakashi’s Mom (a Naruto OC: Raiu Kurama)
Story summary: “What if Sakumo survived? This is his story, as imagined if he lived to watch his son's progress in the shinobi world. Follow along as he questions where his loyalty lies, his relationship with his son is tested, and as he unravels the mystery of what happened to his wife.”
This chapter includes the lovely illustration that @birkastan2018 commissioned from @mallml of my character, Raiu Kurama:
Chapter four preview: “’I haven’t asked you for details about her departure because I thought it would be cruel to make you relive it, but,’ Jiraiya continued, cautiously, ‘perhaps a little more information would be helpful, and enough time has passed for you to give it?’ Sakumo exhaled sharply through his nose, and he closed his eyes to search his memories. He then lifted his gaze and one of his hands to point at the fence that stood between the Hatake home and the rice paddies in front of it. ‘The last time that I saw Raiu, she was standing there,’ he forced himself to recall every detail of a moment that he didn’t expect to be so significant at the time. ‘Her hair whipped around in the wind like a ribbon. I waved goodbye to her, and she smiled, saying she’d return soon. I turned around and went back into the house; if I’d known—’ Sakumo shut his mouth and his eyes tightly and shook his head. ‘I had no reason to think it would be the last time.’”

Future Art News
»»-————- ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ -————-««
FOR NARUTO:
As I mentioned in my previous Blog Updates post, I have several artworks planned for our beloved Naruto characters. For each character, I tried to make an OC, and I will be including mini headcanons and/or fic ideas for each drawing. My question is, since I really just thought of the OC's background and not really on their appearance, would you like me to open up requests where you can send me what you'd want each particular OC to look like?
For example, whilst I’m working on my current art for the Naruto OC series (Jiraiya x OC for now), I'll open up asks wherein you can send in descriptions on what Minato and Sasuke’s OCs appearances should be (it can be anything from what you look like or even to what you imagine would look best with the character, etc). Currently, the customisable stuff will be on the OC's hair style, hair colour, eye colour, skin colour, clothing and its colour, and any accessories.
In terms of picking, it'll either be first come first serve [like I'll announce the time I'll open my ask box and the first person to send in their descriptions gets chosen] or I'll make a poll [the description that gets most votes gets picked]. In terms of timing, I'm planning to release drawings of two characters per month, so I can open up the ask box/polls one week before the month ends. Ultimately, it's really up to what all of you prefer hahahaha! 🤗
Aside from this, I'm also planning to draw "sexy times" art (18+) for each of these characters, which will be posted in Twitter. My Twitter account is @ topsyturvydream and you can find all my smutty artworks there. I'll be using the same appearance of the OCs per character.
For November 2020, I am working on and planning to release: ♔ Jiraiya x OC ♔ Minato x OC ♔ Sasuke x OC
I currently have a backlog of smutty art, but I’ll definitely be finishing them. Release dates will most likely be in December 2020 or January 2021. These art are for: ⊱ Yamato x OC ⊱ Hashirama x OC ⊱ Jiraiya x OC ⊱ Minato x OC ⊱ Sasuke x OC
Current list of characters with OCs (those not mentioned above): ♡ Gaara ♡ Hatake Kakashi ♡ Hatake Sakumo ♡ Hyuga Neji ♡ Kankuro ♡ Nara Shikaku ♡ Sai ♡ Shiranui Genma ♡ Uchiha Itachi ♡ Uchiha Madara ♡ Uchiha Shisui ♡ Uchiha Obito ♡ Umino Iruka ♡ Uzumaki Naruto
So far, these are all I have, but I'm definitely open to suggestions of other characters not included in this list. Also, just to clarify, I’m currently not taking requests for someone else’s OC (that would be for the mini-blog celebration). The focus is on the idea behind the OCs which I have created, so regardless or not the customisable appearance thingo will push through, I will still be posting these artworks (but I’ll probably just be using those OC generators 😔).

FOR CHOICES:
I also have a few art planned for Choices; however, they may take longer to release as I'm currently focusing on my Naruto OCs first. I do, however, have several WIPs that I will be finishing (but not yet sure when I'll be posting), and these include: ✼ Beckett Harrington x MC ✼ Maxwell Beaumont x MC ✼ Marc Antony x MC ✼ Ethan Ramsey x MC ✼ Bryce Lahela x MC ✼ Thomas Hunt x MC ✼ Matt Rodriguez x MC
I'm slowly playing through the new books though, and MTFL and Distant Shores are both really inspiring me, but no promises for now.
#topsy talks#blog updates#did i make sense with my nart art rambles?#i'm just really excited to create ocs because it helps in sharpening my creativity#i just thought the customisable appearance thingo will keep my blog more interactive friendly#also as you can see i have a thing for uchihas#i promise i will finish all of these artworks#it may take some time to post it all but i will draw them
