i want to write a fic where naruto and sasuke get saddled with a child who orochimaru made out of their respective genetic material... but like have it be kind of realistic? because like. they would be bad parents at least at first. in boruto sasuke is an absentee deadbeat and naruto doesn't pay enough attention to his kids and i think that's a lot to do with their respective marriages as well but like. every time i read a fic where they have to take care of a sns baby they're always magically attached to it immediately. like oh little baby i feel a spiritual connection to you and i love you!! which is true for many parents but ALSO if two traumatized war veterans with a weird cosmic situationship suddenly had a biological child i think they would have strange feelings about it at the least. like come on neither of them know how to take care of children even a little bit. it would be a disaster! and to be fair raising a baby is often a nightmare when they're still babies like... dirty diapers, waking up constantly, them crying, you're always tired, like. it's exhausting. they would never hurt the baby on purpose but they would absolutely be flying blind
