#from taking in the jinchuurichi

[lesbiankoby]

Kakashi's too depressed to adopt as a teen and young adult, but god damn, if he really wanted to he could just walk in and leave-- like a Doordasher. Just fucking picks up baby Naruto from whatever crib they've got him in like "mine now", and the nurse's like "aight 😐". Like damn, Konoha just leaves orphaned children in an apartment alone at age 5, there's LITTLE that could stop ppl from snatching children no consequence if they rlly wanna

nrjdjrjrjr i mean i’m sure hiruzen would have opinions about kakashi just taking the kid apropos of nothing i just think kakashi is on his list of approved caretakers if they ever bothered to ask him about it (for instance i think jiraiya COULD just up and grab naruto for various reasons though he is incredibly incredibly unsuitable as a guardian on all fronts)

au where the jinchuurichi was thrown at former field agent yakushi nono works out chronologically (nono was re-recruited by danzo in the months following the kyuubi attack, probably) AND puts her immediately in hiruzens crosshairs, preventing danzo from re-collecting a military asset, lmao. i think he’d be super annoyed by this… danzo doesn’t particularly care about kabuto outside of using him as pressure to get nono to do what he wants also, imo. if nono wound up inadvertently (and conveniently for her!) taking command of an operation that goes over danzo’s authority, he can’t like… pull her out of her orphanage now.

OROCHIMARU wants kabuto, though… hm. he becomes a missing-nin in the four years following the kyuubi attack, because he was still a konoha ninja when danzo recruited kabuto/nono and wasn’t when kabuto killed his mom.
