i especially like ones where naruto’s story follows the same route but some sort of event makes him realize the village will never accept him.

i also like the concept of obito and kakashi’s positions switched, but the story still following the same suit (save for a few tweaks so kakashi ends up on the bad end of things).

i like the idea of naruto maybe losing iruka in something he blames the leaf for, everything up to that moment made sense until he loses the one person who truly accepted him. and then, sasuke, having obito as a sensei instead of kakashi, kind of gets that sense of family again as “tobi-sensei” reveals himself to be an uchiha to sasuke proving he is not alone.

and then maybe naruto chooses to go with orochimaru AFTER training with jiraiya, so he’d been the pupil of two sannin.

as for kakashi and obito the entire ordeal would be terribly emotional and sad. since kakashi would likely blame obito for making him think he was dead, torturing him by ending up with the sharingan eye, which kakashi (in this au) considers to be a curse.

kakashi ends up with the akatsuki and his silly romance reading and never on time personality is how he hides himself like tobi.

meanwhile obito would still be a really funny sensei, much sillier than kakashi obviously. and on top of that i think since naruto is taking sasuke’s position in the story having obito try and convince naruto not to turn on the village just because of loneliness and the lack of acceptance would be really fitting for the both of them.

on top of that i think sasuke in naruto’s position would be a lot more troubling by shippuden. since sasuke’s angst is so much more internalized he would basically just be like kakashi in the normal au.
