Kakashi and Sasuke fic Idea
Just wanting to share my very elaborate prompt that I think overnight before real life catches me and I forget about them.
The premise : because of Minato’s seals/Orochimaru’s shenanigans both Kakashi and Sasuke got blasted with a jutsu that made their past selves appear.
Kakashi’s selves = Kid Kakashi pre-Sakumo’s suicide - Chuunin Kakashi - ANBU Kakashi - Jounin Kakashi - Hokage Kakashi
Sasuke’s selves = Kid Sasuke pre-Massacre - Genin Sasuke - Hebi Sasuke - Taka Sasuke - Blank Period Sasuke
Still have no idea about the plot, just their interaction :
Kid Sasuke and Kid Kakashi :
- Kid Sasuke is more reserved than kid Kakashi and kid Kakashi while often being bold is not the type to make friend first so at first I think they will quietly sit while internally freak out on seeing their scary and messy future selves
- Yamato makes shuriken-throwing arena for them to play and they see how the other are very good and start to compete
- Many bullseyes later they move to sparring. Kid Sasuke acknowledges that Kid Kakashi is a genius but still pales in comparison to his best brother Itachi while Kid Kakashi acknowledges that Kid Sasuke is a genius but he AND his brother are still no better than his best father Sakumo.
- Getting stirred up, they start to use ninjutsu. Kid Sasuke uses Fireball and Kid Kakashi uses Mud Wall to counter that but suddenly Kid Sasuke cancels his Fireball. Kid Kakashi asks why and Kid Sasuke answers that in Kid Kakashi’s Mud Wall there’s a dog and Kid Sasuke doesn’t want to hurt it
- Kid Kakashi reassures Kid Sasuke that the dog is just a sculpt based on real dogs in his home. Kid Kakashi starts to talk about his father’s dogs and his future summon dogs while Kid Sasuke starts to talk about cats in Sora-ku and his game from Itachi to get their paw prints. They get into heated debates about which is better, cats or dogs
- Someone (Yamato or Naruto or Sakura) brings them to pet shop then both Kid Kakashi and Kid Sasuke collectively agree that cats and dogs are all good and fluffy
- Even though they have good time and everyone is so nice except their own future versions, they actually kinda feel afraid and don’t like to be thrown into a world so unfamiliar to them. But both Kakashi and Sasuke absolutely believe that soon Sakumo and Itachi will pick them up and bring them home, preferably on piggy-back ride. So they conceal their distress, determined to be good boys and patiently wait for their most loved ones’ appearance. No one dares to ruin it for them.
Genin Sasuke and Chuunin Kakashi :
- HATE their naive kid version, wanting to jump on them when the (younger kids) start to discuss how Itachi and Sakumo are the best humans ever if not for Hokage Kakashi and Blank Period Sasuke’s interference.
- Genin Sasuke expresses envy that someone same age/younger than him is Chuunin already while Chuunin Kakashi remarked that Genin Sasuke is better than a stupid Uchiha he knows a.k.a Obito so he should be Chuunin already, that Konoha’s new rule to disallow early graduate is stupid and he is glad that he’s born earlier than Sasuke so he never experienced that rule.
- Genin Sasuke (in tsundere mode) complained despite his age, Chuunin Kakashi is more reserved than his loud teammates and started to talk about them, Chuunin Kakashi said that Genin Sasuke’s inferior teammates held him back (to be fair Chuunin Kakashi doesn’t understand nuance and thought that Genin Sasuke’s very-not-flattery description is Sasuke’s true feeling) and he should dismiss/ignore them. Genin Sasuke actually gets offended and defends Naruto and Sakura.
- Chuunin Kakashi reluctantly apologizes for his harsh words but then he says that if Sasuke wants to completely focus on his mission, he should not get attached too much to his teammates because there’s the possibility that he must sacrifice them. Genin Sasuke does not like that and says that he gets stronger because he doesn’t want any of his precious people to get hurt ever again.
- Genin Sasuke also says that Kakashi a.k.a his Jounin Sensei is the one who most wants him to treasure his teammates and never abandon them. Genin Sasuke says the famous “In the ninja world, those who don’t follow the rules are trash. But, those who abandon their friends are even worse than trash” quote and Chuunin Kakashi gets completely flabbergasted on why the hell his future self says something like that. But then he also remembers Obito and Rin and (denies to) kinda miss them.
- Both Genin Sasuke and Chuunin Kakashi feel kindling spirit and logically want each other as teammates so they can train and improve better but in their hearts they can feel that teaming with someone so coldly similar and not bright personality like Naruto/Sakura and Obito/Rin will make them less happy
- I also imagine that Chuunin Kakashi is in the middle of developing Chidori and Genin Sasuke is in the middle of learning Chidori so they can talk about their half-finished Chidori (I have no idea how to handle curse mark stuff tho)
Hebi Sasuke and ANBU Kakashi
- Hebi Sasuke is VERY ANNOYED to suddenly be back in Konoha when he had important stuff to do (in the middle of the recruiting team) and ANBU Kakashi is more bothered by the fact that his future self becomes Hokage and not, like, died soon.
- Hebi Sasuke tries to escape and ANBU Kakashi is one of people who tries to stop him. Hebi Sasuke sneers that ANBU Kakashi butts in on a matter that doesn’t concern him while his future version is not bothered to join Team 7 on Tenchi Bridge mission. ANBU Kakashi agrees that Hebi Sasuke’s matters are not his concern but his job at ANBU is to stop and eliminate nukenin like Hebi Sasuke.
- Hebi Sasuke (denies) feeling a little bit upset that a Kakashi sees him with such cold eyes and lethal intent but convinces himself that if Kakashi tries to kill Sasuke, Sasuke can and is willing to kill Kakashi, despite his non-lethal policy and overall (denied) unwillingness to seriously kill his teammates
- ANBU Kakashi sees Hebi Sasuke’s Chidori and asks if his future version taught him that. Hebi Sasuke confirmed it but also said that he shouldn’t take too much credit because his version is superior and listing all the things he did with Chidori post-leaving Konoha. When ANBU Kakashi hears that Sasuke used Chidori to ram Naruto’s chest a.k.a Sasuke’s teammate a.k.a Minato’s son he lets out a self-depressing laugh that makes even Hebi Sasuke concerned
- ANBU Kakashi actually doesn’t object to Hebi Sasuke’s decision to leave Team 7, but on the premise that Hebi Sasuke is dangerous and full of darkness (on Kakashi’s perception) so his decision to isolate himself and throw his life for his mission is correct
- “It’s okay for you to give your life on your revenge mission, but you should die alone” at this point Hokage Kakashi and Blank Period Sasuke choose to separate them.
- Or maybe this ANBU Kakashi already has Itachi on his team so he feels disbelief but also responsible?
- All angsty scenario aside, ANBU Kakashi is impressed with Kirin actually
Taka Sasuke and Jounin Kakashi
- No one has a good time in this segment. Taka Sasuke tries to kill Jounin Kakashi for “stealing” Uchiha’s eye, Hokage Kakashi because, well, he’s Hokage, AND Hebi Sasuke because Taka Sasuke has a very deep self-loathing
- Blank Period Sasuke has full authority to subdue Taka Sasuke and I think they will have a talk about their perception of Uchiha, Itachi, dan Konoha
- Hokage Kakashi contemplates letting Taka Sasuke kill Homura and Koharu to pacify him (I am not hardcore anti-Konoha but I really don’t like the fact that they are still alive on Boruto)
- Jounin Kakashi’s last memory of Sasuke is him teaching Chidori so he’s understandably unprepared to receive Sasuke’s hate. When he learns about Uchiha Massacre I think he will be surprised and feel sad for Itachi but not really shocked
- Jounin Kakashi contemplates telling Taka Sasuke about how he received his Sharingan but he wonders whether he will make things worse. Plus he very very doesn’t want to do that, or overall idea to tell anyone about his past experience. Blank Period Sasuke sighs at this, thinking that more openings from an adult in his life will greatly help him, but understands why Jounin Kakashi is like that
- Jounin Kakashi asks Hokage Kakashi how much he will fail from that point on, why the fuck he became Hokage, and what happened to Obito’s eye while Hokage Kakashi can just reassure him that everything will be better in the end
- I think there will be very little interaction between Taka Sasuke and Jounin Kakashi because interaction between a misunderstood teen and a closed-off adult is bound to be disaster, so with them there will be more of their interaction with their (weirdly peaceful) future selves.
Hokage Kakashi and Blank Period Sasuke
- Their messy past selves manifest in their era so they start to ponder what deity they offend for that, and their overall misfortune in their whole lives
- I think they will look at their innocent kid versions and feel weird yet soft and mournful
- Hokage Kakashi (and Team 7) sees like 80% of Sasuke’s versions so Sasuke has little qualms about Kakashi (and everyone) seeing his multiple versions, but Kakashi’s multiple versions are 70% carefully hidden by him so the fact that all of them are exist for everyone to see made Hokage Kakashi lowkey horrified and little ashamed.
I planned on more interaction between each versions like Hebi Sasuke with Chuunin Kakashi or Taka Kakashi with ANBU Kakashi but overall those are ones that I can imagine clearly in my head.
