#kannabi bridge

[lessnowon]

i want a fic about post-kannabi bridge kakashi actually using obito's eye to record happy moments and beautiful sights and things that he thinks obito would enjoy. i want a fic where kakashi uses the sharingan as more than just a tool, where it isnt reduced to a weapon, where it does more than burden him with guilt.

[waffliesinyoface]

see, the thing about Hidan is he is presented as kind of a one note character. Funny murder man who yells a lot and screams about his death cult. Fantastic. Love that for him.

but the other thing about Hidan is that the akatsuki is almost* entirely composed of people who were fucked over by the system in some way, so if he was JUST a funny murder man, he would be an outlier. (*zetsu does NOT count)

and the other other thing about Hidan is that Jashinism is explicitly about shared suffering. Hidan feels all of it. Hidan revels in all of it. Hidan believes that the bond of suffering is where humans truly understand one another on a fundamental level. He's not just killing and sacrificing people, he's sacrificing himself. He just gets back up.

And given that Pein & Konan's goals as the akatsuki are to crush the world with war the same way that Ame was crushed by war, and Yugakure went from a shinobi village to a hot springs town, implying they lost so much manpower that they literally couldn't function with a ninja-based economy anymore... hey, Hidan? What suffering have you experienced, that you want to share with others?

I want to understand you, Hidan.

“ In the shinobi world, those that break the written and unwritten rules are deemed trash... but be that as it may... Those that would disregard their comrades so easily are even worse than trash. And those who don't have the decency to respect the memories of their comrades are the worst. „

~ Kakashi to Obito Uchiha

(I had to do research for this one.)

Kakashi's face always looks lopsided. there's a logical explanation for that.

Obito's eye never grew with him.

eyeballs happen to grow, most notably around puberty. since Obito would have been going through puberty around the time of Kannabi bridge, his eyeballs would have grown.

so when he gave his sharingan to Kakashi, at first, it was bigger than Kakashi's own eye, making him look lopsided.

then, when Kakashi's eyeball grew to the same size as Obito's, it made him look relatively normal.

then later on in life, after his eye had fully grown, Obito's eye looked small, making him look lopsided again.

[slitherred]

Time Travel AU but it was the Juubi that got sent back in the past, and kid Obito accidentally befriended it. 

Alternative summary: Everything sucked so a young and desperate Obito prayed for a new best friend and faith gave him an eldritch being. Lilo and stitch style.

Also includes:

"Obito, what is that thing-?" 

"a dog!" 

"NO"

"My dog can do tricks too. Watch- Datara, speak!"

Did the cave system were mdr was actually had a name I can't remember

[centralnart]

Kakashi is a friend and a son first, then a Hatake second. And at the very bottom of the list of the things that make him, he is of Konoha.

(Written for Team Minato Week. Day 5: Sacrifice.)

late entry for @teamminatoweek !! i really wanted to get this drabble out because this song is in my hatake clan lore playlist and the title is perfect for this au

[bougiebutchbitch]

IS THAT SMALL KAKASHI?

>:3

[zincbot]

will of fire was pretty good

[darkclouud9]

I'll cry, how have I seen no one talk about the fact that in one of the games, when Lee and Kakashi both think Gai died, Kakashi kneels down, realises that Gai isn't dead, and to confirm that, he rests his head on his chest to listen for a heartbeat.

you mean Kakashi. understood someone (Naruto) saved Gai, and he just. thinks to check for the heartbeat. I'm so.

[floridecuts]

More of red haired Naruto and big brother Kakashi. A few scenes with the adopted Kakashi and lil' Naruto growing up together. The last few days there was a lot of activity here on tumblr with some of my older works which got me very motivated to draw this! So THANK YOU all for this! <3

Note: Kakashi doesn't have the scar on his eye or the Sharingan here because in this AU idea of mine the tragedy at Kannabi Bridge never happened.

Thanks for taking a look! :)

Kannabi bridge AU

[green-crocs12]

for context, obito lives after kannabi bridge mission au and kakashis left the team to join anbu (it’s been around 2 years since they’ve properly talked to the guy)

little bonus scene + the sketch :)

[r--kt]

Okay, but why the "Kannabi" Bridge? I mean, why is this called that? Turns out, this is an amazing and very beautiful metaphor.

Kakashi Gaiden analysis. Kannabi — the bridge between two worlds

I will look at this from the side of Shinto culture (based on the materials that I could find, feel free to correct me if you know more about this) and from the side of Kakashi and Obito's storylines.

Contents | cultural code · significance for the plot structure · the idea itself (this one is really important!)

Cultural code

In Shinto culture, it is not customary to divide the world into human and sacred, especially into divine and demonic principles — everything exists in harmony with each other, in a single system.

Kannabi (神奈備) refers to a region that is a shintai (repositories in which kami reside) itself, or hosts a kami. In fact, Kannabi is a place of connection between the human and the spiritual. Usually these are mountains, rivers, and forests that stand out for their beauty. These are such accumulations of natural energy, so sacred that their presence requires observance of a certain rite. So, if in relatively modern times be present next to the blossoming sakura, picnics in picturesque mountains and the like has normalized in Japanese culture, then in ancient times people did not dare to disturb mountains or groves with their presence. In such places, people performed rituals of worship to the deity, wrestling matches, divination, sacred dances, offerings, etc. The territory of the kami did not completely coincide with the territory of worship to them, people still tried to move away from the center of the sacred place so as not to bother their deity. To mark the border of entry into Kannabi, symbolic gates were installed — most often in the form of torii.

examples of kannabi in real life. Mount Fuji and Nachi Falls. [ as I understand, shintai and kannabi are synonymous concepts, but kannabi is broader in meaning. ]

It's all about how important the term is in a cultural context. A place of divine power that cannot be desecrated. From here, the Kannabi Bridge and the surrounding area can also be considered endowed with divine energy — and here the most interesting thing begins.

Significance for the plot structure

Now about the scenario composition. In general, the Battle of Kannabi, as the event itself in Kakashi and Obito's storylines, according to Joseph Campbell's «hero's journey», is a stage of transition between worlds. That's what the symbolism of the place also works for. This is the moment when the hero assumes responsibility for the beliefs he carries and their consequences, and literally or symbolically crosses the threshold between the safe and familiar world to the dangerous and unknown one, embarks on the path of reflection and prepares to meet the unconscious.

Thus, briefly speaking, Kakashi finds the strength to resolve his internal conflict in favor of his father's attitudes about the value of each Shinobi, and Obito sacrifices himself, protecting his loved ones and defending his ideals. Then their paths got separate so that each one could face with the unknown by himself.

In the context of the monomyph model, this is how the beginning of the initiation stage is demonstrated (i.e., the transition from one state to another, which is accompanied by some kind of ritual). Since Kannabi in culture is the boundary between the human and the divine, it can be concluded that this very transition is shown almost literally, thanks to the sharingan awakening and the broken tanto. This is the first turning point in history, structurally coinciding with the end of the first act.

The idea itself

And what do we see in general? In the battle of Kannabi, the religious Shinto subtext is vividly read. For the battle in a sacred place, the moral positive change of the hero (Kakashi) or his original courage (Obito) and a certain sacrifice (Kakashi's eye), the deities give a reward: the power of sharingan, which helps them save Rin, which is shared between Obito and Kakashi and in the future generally serves as a direct demonstration of the spiritual connection between them. At the same time, for the desecration of a sacred place (the goal of the mission was to blow up a bridge), heroes are punished: from this point of view, Obito's death is a certain sacrifice for the damage inflicted on the deity.

There is also information that the name of the bridge - Kannabi-kyo (神無毘橋) - can also be interpreted as «A bridge where the gods won't help». idk if it's true, but sounds cool.

Moreover, the very name of Obito's mangekyo — Kamui (神威) — literally translates as «The Power of Gods». Perhaps it is based on the mentioned concept of the place where Kakashi and Obito received the power of sharingan. And maybe that's why they call the technique the same way: because they treat it rather with such a religious meaning.

and thanks for reading to the end ♡

*teen Obito bringing Kakashi home for the first time * Obito: Grandpa, this is Kakashi Hatake. Kakashi, this is my grandfather, Madara Uchiha.

Kakashi: *bows his head* It’s an honor to meet you, sir. 

Madara: Mm. You’re the young man who’s been courting my grandson?

Kakashi: Yes, sir.

Madara: *carefully looks him over* Well, you seem sturdy enough. Decent height, good muscle tone. My grandson tells me they consider you to be a genius in the village, so I know you have brains. 

Madara: *points at the strap covering Kakashi’s eye* Ah, but, your eye is damaged? Well, Obito, it looks like you’re not the only clumsy one around here.

Kakashi: No, sir, my eye isn’t damaged … I wear the wrap to cover up my sharingan.

Madara:

Madara: Your … what?

Kakashi: My sharingan. *moves his wrap and shows him* You know, the one Obito gave me at Kannabi bridge, when he thought he was going to die. It drains a lot of my chakra so I prefer to keep it covered.

Madara:

Madara: I … see. Obito, I have a question for you.

Obito: Grandpa, please don’t —

Madara: Are you crazy, boy?! You gave the sharingan to a non-Uchiha?? I thought you LOST that eye, but here you gave our clans most precious gift, to an outsider?! Dying or not, how could you exercise such poor judgment? I have half a mind to —

Kakashi: Ah, please, sir; I don’t want to get Obito in trouble …

Kakashi: *takes a kunai out of his pocket*

Kakashi: Obi, take it back.

Obito: W-what??

Kakashi: This eye belongs in your clan. I can’t keep such an important thing; I’m not worthy. So here, take this and cut it out.

Obito: Kakashi, I can’t just —

Madara: You’re willing to have him cut into the most sensitive part of your flesh, just like that? No anesthetic or anything to ease the pain?

Kakashi: Yes, sir.

Madara:

Madara: *claps Kakashi hard on the back* What an upstanding young man! Tough and brave, not a trace of fear anywhere! If only my grandson were as strong as you; but no, this fool cried for weeks after being hit with a tiny rock.

Obito: IT WASN’T A “TINY” ROCK, GRANDFATHER! IT WAS A BOULDER THAT CRUSHED OVER 50% OF MY BODY!!

Madara, ignoring Obito: Kakashi, you may keep the eye on the condition that you marry into my clan one day. I know my grandson isn’t the ideal mate but I’ll work hard on training him to be up to your caliber.

Madara: Boy. Go out into the yard and lift those weights. 1000 reps. And then jog around the perimeter of the village until dark. And I swear if I hear one whining word out of you about being “tired” or “feeling like your arm is going to disconnect”, I’ll come out there and REALLY put you through the paces.

Madara, hand on Kakashi’s back: Come; let’s have tea and you can tell me more about yourself, grandson.

Obito:
