SCREAMING I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

The joy on her face, the tenderness, the description... im sobbing 😭😭😭

👑 KING 👑

Context: Your baby sister has been feeling down ever since the disastrous trip to the village fair, so you and your co-conspirators decide to surprise her by creating new dresses for an exclusive DIY fashion show.

Bonus: It’s a success and another one of your siblings end up discovering a skill that they are mind-bogglingly good at.

Ft. 5 year old Uzumaki Nana, Nohara Kanna, Kyoko, Ryuu, and Yuji from In Sound Judgement by @negativeaperture

(Character interpretations and scenarios were inspired by the fic. They may not be canon to the version written by the writer and are strictly the artist’s speculations)

I imagine this taking place after the kids had to visit the central village fair for consumable produce, and Nana being an adult stuck in a child’s body got distracted by all the pretty wares and clothes that were being displayed. She had been admiring the dresses, when she was suddenly manhandled by an extremely irate and furious stall owner. A man, who not just a few moments ago had been acting really nice and fondly indulgent towards her.

Nana is saved by Ryuu before the screaming owner can throw her down, and hastily taken away from the gathering crowd. The last thing she sees before Ryuu covers her eyes and ears is the sight of the full-grown adult who had been taking sick satisfaction from her fear rapidly paling in front of a young black-haired child wearing an ANBU mask.

(Ps. The clothes were designed by our dumpster diving legend Kyoko. The expensive fabric scraps and flower pins that they found during their spree may or may not have been left by a concerned ANBU as an apology for being unable to intervene sooner.)

(Ps. Ps. Yes the ANBU was Itachi)

I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS I LOVE TJIS YES YES

This has kicked me into writing this scene now, oh my god you are the best person ever

Sensei

Context: In Classic Team 7 Fashion a mission goes horribly wrong.

(Other versions under the cut)

Wherein Kakashi is frustrated and at a loss, Nana thinks too much and doesn't trust enough, consecutively Team 7 takes the fall.

Or Team 7 is every writer’s chew toy and Fate loves repeating itself.

I totally imagined this as being the mission that forces Kakashi and Nana to actually bond and stop skirting around each other.

Wherein Kakashi actually learns to go past his vulnerability and defences to show Nana that he cares, and Nana learns to lower her defences and let herself be cared for.

I also hc that this has happened to Kakashi before, when he himself was a kid and had fresh out of stumbling upon the cooling body of his father been newly assigned under the tutelage of a very much 16 years old and not ready to handle this mess Minato.

So yes, Kakashi is rapidly re-evaluating everything he thought he knew and understood about his bond with his late Sensei, and gaining a whole new level of mortification about himself respect for the man.

Ft. 5 year old Uzumaki Nana from- In Sound Judgement by @negativeaperture .

Readers: Oh my, look at that young face, look at those innocent eyes, look at that mischievous smile. It sure would be a shame if something bad were to happen and steal them away :)

Author: >:)

Author: Insert- Soul crushing trauma on this character.

Readers :’(

Ps. Yes Nana's hair got spikier by the time she became Genin. This was to show her feelings and suppressed rage towards Konoha and the world in general.

THANK YOU

Uzumaki Nana and Co. Closeups from ISJ (In Sound Judgement) by @negativeaperture

Also yes- Nana gets to have special multi coloured flecks in her eyes. It’s a combo from her parents + A Jinchuuriki thing. Is it cool to look at up close? Absolutely. Does it freak out people inside the universe? Definitely. It’s just one of those things besides their aura which make Jinchuuriki, especially this one- other.

The most uncomfortable part was making Sasuke’s vacant soulless eyes compared to the vibrant ones of the rest of the gang. And yes the only reason Kakashi still has light in his eyes is because of Gai, Yamato and Nana.

Holy SHIT THIS IS INCREDIBLE???? Oh my god you may have single handedly kicked me into gear to keep writing the next chapter

I am losing my mind. Jesus. Thank you so so much

Uzumaki Nana + Co. from ‘In Sound Judgement’ by @negativeaperture

Something about female protagonists who are barely hanging by their fucking fingernails from a cliffs edge and are valiantly sloshing through their moral dilemmas and identity crisis just gets me.

Anon who has been sending me so many asks with awesome questions and theories: I see you and I love you, I'm gonna try and answer some of them soon!

For the Naruto SI seeker! In Sound Judgement by NegativeAperture is pretty incredible, since it follows a human rights lawyer who is isekai’d into Naruto himself, and names herself Nana. It’s very Konoha critical and while the beginning is slow and a bit wonky, it picks up quickly and shows so much worldbuilding happening in the background as a result of minor changes caused by the MC! There’s also a hint of feral Kakashi…

!!!!!

[negativeaperture]

okay, let’s just recap.

three years ago, little kakashi came to the third hokage and said “your second-in-command is plotting to assassinate you.  i know this because he encouraged me to steal confidential documents about your whereabouts so he could ambush you on your next journey.”  danzo made the predicted attempt on sarutobi’s life; it failed because of kakashi’s intel; and then when sarutobi got back to his office and saw danzo sitting in his chair prematurely celebrating his supposed death, sarutobi did…nothing.  the most powerful man in the village looked away, and danzo retained all of his power and suffered no consequences.

three years after that, teenage kakashi comes to the third hokage again - beaten, bleeding, poisoned - and says ���your second-in-command just tried to kill me.  i’m afraid he’s going to retaliate against the child who refused to finish the job.”  when he begs the most powerful man in the village to do something about this, sarutobi is almost…TAKEN ABACK at being asked to act.  he hesitates, sighs, and eventually, finally, sends yugao to the foundation with a note for danzo to come see him.

a note.

so kakashi - who knows that danzo got away with this shit before, who knows that the foundation’s sentries are just going to brush yugao off, who knows that a note is not going to save yamato in time - takes matters into his own hands.  the third hokage tells him to go to the hospital, and kakashi lies to him, saying that he will.  “yes, sir,” he says, and then he goes straight to the foundation, where he breaks into the forbidden facility, incapacitates danzo’s guards, rescues yamato from the lab where he’s lying shackled to an examination chair, and attempts to fight all of danzo’s forces AND danzo himself on his way out the door.  he literally confronts konoha’s equivalent of the vice president (a man who just tried to have kakashi killed), after lying to the actual president, while trespassing in bowels of the cia.  he commits TREASON.  he breaks every rule on the books, because THOSE WHO BREAK THE RULES ARE SCUM, BUT THOSE WHO ABANDON THEIR FRIENDS ARE WORSE THAN SCUM.

and then, when sarutobi finally does show up (at which point he witnesses danzo attacking two young teenagers, when he already knows that danzo tried to have kakashi murdered for as-yet-unclear reasons), the most powerful man in the village once again does NOTHING.  he uses the situation to leverage yamato out of the foundation, and once the valuable wood-style user is in his own hands (how convenient for him), he lets everything else go, saying “we’ll consider this settled amicably.”  he doesn’t hold danzo accountable for a single thing.  there are NO consequences to anything danzo did.  sarutobi KNOWS yamato is a product of orochimaru’s experiments, and he doesn’t ask danzo a single thing about that.  he KNOWS danzo ordered a hit on kakashi, and he lets him walk away with all of his power and resources intact - while kakashi is right there watching!  danzo tried to have kakashi killed, and the third hokage knows he did that, and it doesn’t matter.  

what does that tell kakashi about how little his life is worth?  how expendable is he, how insignificant is his suffering, that one of the village’s leaders can just make an attempt on his life without fear of reprisal?  how unimportant is kakashi, ultimately, if the village’s second-in-command can try to have him murdered, and the first-in-command can just handwave it away and tell kakashi to forget it happened?  

the fact that kakashi in the present day continues to suffer for this man’s sins (and the fact that i suspect he’s also going to end up being the person responsible for cleaning up this man’s mess) makes me so frustrated.  kakashi, when he was just a CHILD, gave the hokage everything he needed to put a stop to danzo’s misdeeds long before his crimes culminated in the uchiha massacre.  kakashi came to the third hokage again and again with proof of serious abuses; he sounded the alarm, once, twice; he gave the third hokage all the information necessary to stop this train before danzo drove it off a cliff.  the third hokage knew - because kakashi told him so - that danzo ordered kakashi to steal confidential documents, that he tried to have sarutobi assassinated, that he tried to have teenage kakashi killed, that he was secretly in possession of a wood-style user who had been kidnapped by orochimaru as an infant and experimented upon.  it’s not like sarutobi didn’t believe these accusations - he knew they were true.  he just actively chose to let all of it slide.  he kept danzo at his side, kept looking the other way, until his leniency (his cowardice) led to a genocide.

sarutobi is the hokage.  he’s the most powerful man in the village.  he’s the one with the ability and the authority to stop his subordinates from hurting other people, and when it’s brought to his attention - multiple times, by a child - that danzo is, in fact, hurting other people, it’s sarutobi’s responsibility to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.  kakashi is just a teenager, one whose own life is in such a shambles it’s a miracle he’s even functional enough to take this amount of action; and he’s been targeted by danzo specifically because he’s so vulnerable - when a foundation ninja tells danzo that attacking a member of the uchiha to steal the sharingan will be high-risk, danzo responds, “there is one with the sharingan who is not an uchiha, who has neither parents nor teachers” - ie, there’s someone out there who is all alone.  kakashi has no parents to take care of him, no teachers to protect him, no clan to back him up.  he’s targeted because he doesn’t have the power or the connections of the uchiha clan, and because danzo thinks no one will kick up a fuss or ask inconvenient questions when he “accidentally” dies in the field.  kakashi is the injured antelope separated from the herd.  he’s what danzo sees as an easy mark.  it’s easier to murder an orphaned, sensei-less teenager than it is to take on one of the the most powerful clans in the village, and danzo, expecting that sarutobi will avert his eyes from most of his dirty work, is not afraid to attempt to kill a child and loot his body for parts.

it’s infuriating to me, how right danzo is about this.  kakashi begs the third hokage for help, and sarutobi responds with the absolute least amount of assistance possible.  he’s worse than useless.  he’s worse than danzo, even, because he’s so self-deluded.  danzo is evil, but he doesn’t lie to himself about who and what he is - whereas the third hokage, on the other hand, genuinely sees himself as a benevolent patriarch who loves his people and “takes care” of the village’s children, when really he’s a coward who lets orochimaru and danzo get away with murder.  

kakashi, as a child, goes far beyond the scope of his own responsibilities in order to stop danzo from hurting people, long before things get to the point where we’re at now.  he does everything within his limited power, and whenever he takes his concerns to the person who’s truly responsible for dealing with the situation, the third hokage is like “thanks for bringing this to my attention; don’t worry; i’ll handle it from here.”  but after the crisis, behind the scenes, sarutobi’s version of “handling it” just looks like letting danzo continue to do whatever he wants, up until the moment when danzo exterminates an entire ethnic group, at which point it’s too late.  AND THEN SARUTOBI COVERS FOR HIM, EVEN THEN.

kakashi has spent his entire life picking up messes that the third hokage made, and i do mean his Entire Life - sarutobi was hokage during the previous generation’s time, too, and he clearly was just as unwilling to intervene when one of his most respected jonin was being publicly harassed and driven to suicide as he is about everything happening in the present day.  sarutobi has spent decades declining to act when the situation called for courage, and his legacy is precisely what kakashi describes to tazuna in the land of waves arc: “to know what is right and choose to ignore it is the act of a coward.”  

i hate the idea that kakashi is probably going to have to spend even more of his life cleaning up after this man, but he’s the only person i trust to do it right.  and that’s a sentiment i suspect will be shared by the “wood-style user” whom kakashi rescues immediately after the end of the above gifset, because - and i say this with full offense intended to sarutobi - sending a NOTE to someone who just tried to murder a child doesn’t cut it.

Hello everyone! I decided to do a fanfic writer appreciation week! Staring on August 1st, talk about your favorite fanfics, write meta, create gifsets, whatever. Just make sure to link the fic and tag the author if you know their social. At least mention the handle. And leaving comments would be great too! Just let your local Fanfic author know how much you care. The prompts are just optional, and a way to get you started. Good luck, have fun, and see you then!

[negativeaperture]

Quick headsup: don’t do this shit please. If you drop a story, you really don’t have to let everyone know in a bookmark. Idk, maybe it’s just me, but the sheer frustration at seeing someone mark my work as uninteresting and publicly announcing that on their profile makes me irritated as hell.

Not only that, but why are you bookmarking a story you’ve lost interest in????

Anyway it’s ridiculous and really, really not warranted. If you have to do it, make it a private bookmark. I’m not asking for your feedback or criticism, I’m writing a story in my spare time for fun.
