Hiruzen: Did you confirm if Seiko-chan is aware of the Fox?

Jiraya: Yep, we sparred a bit and she confirmed she knew when I had a kunai to her throat.

Hiruzen:

Hiruzen: You did WHAT-

the hokage's perfect team formulation is kind of biting him in the ass. it turns out that actually dropping a hyper competent team on his least responsible student is going to backfire greatly.

The Minato chapter was good. Definitely showed how dude was OP. Glad I voted for him in the popularity poll😅. It's crazy seeing how strong he was at that age. On Quora I found this old post cementing how cold Minato was(last pic) . Dude definitely was 1of1 💯. The world is definitely lucky he didn't grow old

Something I failed to realize/remember even though I read the series during it's run, is that the Stone village had two Jinchuriki 😭. What makes this insane is that you should very well know it's that same village who told folks to flee on sight if they see Minato 😅(Which is still the coldest respect you can show someone). That shit is so crazy. Imagine you're in a war and you have two nuclear bombs just waiting. But yet you tell everyone to get the hell outta dodge if you see 1 man😭. That's nothing but respect for him🫡.

A day in the life of Team Jiraiya

Teuchi and Mikoto are training. Jiraiya and Minato are heading to the training place. But, Jiraiya notices the sauna and goes inside the women’s section. He gets kicked out.

Jiraiya: Can I join you girls?

Girl A: Ahhh! Get out of here!

Girl B: Leave, you pervert!

Girl C: No men allowed!

The three girls notice Minato who is covering his eyes.

Girl A: Hello? No need to cover your eyes. We’re all girls.

Girl B: Please, join us.

Girl C: But, close the door behind you. There’s a weird guy out there.

Jiraiya:… (eavesdropping from behind the door)

Minato: (hasn’t taken his hands off his eyes) You’re making a mistake, miss. I’m not-

Girl A: Did you just move here?

Girl B: We know all of the girls in The Hidden Leaf Village.

Girl C: How old are you?

Minato: I’m 13.

Jiraiya: They think he’s a girl?!

Minato: *They think I’m a girl?* Ummm, I’m sorry. But, I should probably get back to Master Jiraiya.

A few minutes later…

Teuchi: Hahahaha! They thought you were a girl?

Minato: It’s not that funny. *sniff*

Mikoto: He’s right. Don’t laugh at him, Teuchi.

Jiraiya: I mean, look at it this way Minato. They mistook you for a girl because, you’re just that pretty. I mean, come to think of it? I honestly thought you were a girl the first time I saw you.

Minato: You did? *starts crying even louder*

Mikoto: Master Jiraiya, you’re not helping! *gives Minato a comforting hug* Don’t cry, Minato. Who cares what those three girls think.

A random Hidden Leaf Villager passes by: Hey! Why’s that little girl crying?

The Third Kazekage: Excuse me. Your blonde daughter looks pretty enough. Would you be interested in an arranged marriage? Rasa, here. (Pushes a quiet 14 year old Rasa in front of him) is next in line on becoming Kazekage. His family is quite prestigious.

Teuchi: Hahahaha! They all think you’re a girl?

Mikoto: Stop it!

Another kakashi focussed comic!

This will be my last naruto comic for a little bit, but I had so much fun making these that the odds of me never doing another one are slim. I’m going to gather them all up to make a zine out of soon.

I hope you enjoy this last one. This one is a little more loosey goosey.

Sakumo being a super popular borderline sex symbol in his era will never stop being my favorite hc, I need to see more of it

All the people his age and younger had a crush on him. It was just a Thing(tm) where 9 times out of 10, a Konoha shinobi's first crush was probably Sakumo. Even other villages young shinobi hung up his bingo book picture above their bunk and dreamed of both killing him, being killed by him (in a hot way), having a battlefield fling with him, and more. There was blackmarket fanfiction. He was incredibly popular among civilians all over fire country. Some popular romance novels had love interests very blatantly based off him.

Even before they were on a team together, Obito and Rin both had a silly kid crush on Kakashi's dad (Obito more than Rin) and he was aware of it. This did not help make him like them any more. (By the time hearing smthn positive ab his dad would have made Kakashi softer, they'd both gotten better at hiding the crush, so to Kakashi it looked like they'd gotten over Sakumo.) Even Minato had a bit of a thing for him, not really but like— strong, popular, feard and very friendly ninja who is now paying him some attention (bc hes his kids teacher) he's not immune. Kushina understands, she is also not immune. (Kakashi is going to throw a fucking fit)

Even after his failed mission, when his reputation crashes and burns within the village, he still can't completely shake his admirers— they possibly just get more disrespectful ab the attraction when it mixes with the hate. (Which tbh could make for an interesting discussion all on its own)

Kakashi is haunted by his father's insane popularity for decades after his death. He does his very best to ignore the lingering evidence of people being insane ab his father.

One day he realizes one of his favorite romance novels has a romance interest based off Sakumo and has a break down ab it and can never read the series again.

When raiding an old abandoned enemy camp w Team Ro, he finds an old, autographed photo of his dad covered in lipstick marks in the communal bathroom. He chooses to ignore it but it's quickly spotted by his teammates, who do not know who Sakumk is, and v quickly begin to remark on the poster, who this mysterious Konoha nin is, and ahaha damn he is kinda good looking, huh? (Kakashi wants to DIE)

Shisui ends up taking the poster back to Konoha with them and hangs it up in the ANBU communal quarters where it is VERY quickly recognized. And also some of the people in that room recognize it so quick bc they also used to own a similar poster. (Kakashi wants to DIE someone PLEASE kill him now)

Its only when he's given team 7 that he finally thinks he's escaped the legacy of his father as Konoha's Most Sexiest Shinobi. Only for Naruto, when being trained by Jiriyah, to find his drafts for Icha Icha very clearly inspired by his dad. Which he can never publish for multiple reasons (lingering respect for Sakumo. Also for Kakashi, who is his biggest fan and would probably never look at him again.)

Naruto somehow accidentally brings this up with Kakashi who like. Has war flashbacks and immediatley stands up and walks away as Jiryah scrambles to try to explain himself and Tsunade looks on in scorn (she will approach him later to carefully ask for the drafts while trying to seem like she's not really asking for them bc she's too proud to admit it)

Naruto and Sakura discover Kakashi-sensei's dad was a sex symbol. I don't even know how they'd react but like. Oh my god. Oh my god you guys.

Funniest option would be they accidentally revive his popularity a little bit by being so loud ab it they like, remind people ab him. + introduce another generation to the idea of him

Kakashi is crouched on the floor with his face in his hands. When will he be freed from this hell.

Sasuke does not escape tho, he goes to sound and finds a picture of Sensei's dad in Orochimaru's office (???????)

This is such a shitty sketch but the vision:

Itachi, who learned who Sakumo was from that poster thing, goes on to find a photo of him in ""Madara's"" belongings and gets super weirded out but ultimately doesn't. Super care. But also. Like. What. What.

After Itachi finds the photo, which Obito genuinley forgot he fucking had and keeps in part just bc its like one of the only belongings that remained from his Konoha days, he shoves it somewhere in Kamui to forget about.

But then in the Obito vs Kakashi Kamui fight, it fucking flutters down in the middle of the fight and Obito fucking dies of humiliation as Kakashi realizes he will truly Never Escape and that this reality is his own personal hell

Uhh endgame Kakashi becomes Hokage and accidentally retreads his father's path in becoming the new Konoha Sexy Man. Which simultaneously crushes him (he will never escape) and fills him with delight (he will now be able to impart the pain of having your father figure be lusted after by all ur friends and acquaintances onto his students)

Love the new chapter! I really love all the dynamics, especially Jiraiya walking in and accidentally ruining his own dynamic with them. I really get the feeling that it never occurred to him that his students could *not* trust him. Like, I don't think it even occurred to him that his students wouldn't already respect him and be vying for his attention like he did in his old team. You mentioned him seeing Seiko as like Orochimaru due to the genius thing, and im just. So curious. Was he doing the immature equivalent thing of trying to one up a kid as an f u to his childhood rival? Does he want Seiko to like/respect him to feel vindicated? That's going to end interestingly. I wonder what it looks like from the outside, that his team watch their backs around him and eye him like he'll do something, and he thinks it's normal. Do they they think it's funny that a Sanin can't get a bunch of kids to like him? Are they concerned that there is no teacher student bonds forming like is traditional and expected? What does it mean in konoha society for a genin student to fundamentally not trust their teacher? For the entire team to stand with them and close ranks with their Sensei on the outside? Idk I feel like people are going to form Opinions about it

LONG WINDED RESPONSE! warning you all now! will contain spoilers related to my characterization of jiraiya!

I really get the feeling that it never occurred to him that his students could not trust him.

jiraiya doesn't really understand what position these kids are coming from, nor does he understand on any deeper level What It Means to be a jonin teacher. or a teacher worthy of trust in general. this isn't me bashing him, i think that while he CAN be a fun and engaging teacher, he doesn't really respect the impact he has on these kids' lives.

with his sensei he already respected him simply because he was the hokage. and, on top of that, hiruzen was an agreeable affable person. he commanded respect easily and his students trusted him not to lead them astray (at least while they were genin). jiraiya has taken this dynamic for granted and believes that to be the default. it is not.

as for the ame orphans, he was ALL THEY HAD. his mercy in choosing to teach them ingratiated them significantly more to him from the get go. this isn't the case for his genin team. his genin team just got some random guy who everyone says is strong, and now they're having to feel him out for if he's a good person and good teacher.

Was he doing the immature equivalent thing of trying to one up a kid as an f u to his childhood rival? Does he want Seiko to like/respect him to feel vindicated? That's going to end interestingly.

for jiraiya, i think what he did was totally normal and fine. yeah she's just a pipsqueak genin, but she's advanced for her age. she can handle a little spar.

in my head, jonin and chunin do use spars as a private space to check on each other, to check each other's loyalties too. shinobi are always more honest with a weapon in hand, the saying goes. so jiraiya just sees this as a opprotunity to privately ask if seiko knows what he and the hokage thinks she knows.

spoiler:

the hokage did not ask jiraiya to figure it out in the way jiraiya did. the hokage just mentioned that he suspected she knew, and that he wanted to know if she did or not. that sort of thing is important to accommodate for considering no one else in kushina's age group is aware of what she is. ill go over this in a later chapter, but there's your answer to if the hokage is trying to scare poor seiko half to death.

What does it mean in konoha society for a genin student to fundamentally not trust their teacher? For the entire team to stand with them and close ranks with their Sensei on the outside? Idk I feel like people are going to form Opinions about it

:)

ty for your ask!!

i love getting asks its like i got a little letter from a friend who lives far away and who's asking after me and my children's health. very very fun. lmk if you have any other ideas or thoughts about the kids! or of the side characters like the ino-shika-cho trio. im excited to write more of them.

Team Jiraiya

Minato: I’m surprised we managed to survive that. I don’t even know how the three of us are still alive. How are we even unharmed?

Teuchi: Perhaps we should all die next time. (Sarcastic voice)

Mikoto: You could’ve dodged faster, Teuchi.
