hatake haruka makes me a little insane, actually. she is the head of a clan that will die, if not in her time, by the next generation and she knows it. she plays favorites among those she has left. sheâs spent more time without her siblings than with them. sheâs goofy as hell. haruka the woman that you areâŚ.
anyways, would love to hear more about that time traveling kakashi trunk au. him getting doted on is cute. at what point do they just. destroy the trunk so he stays (and can they go through the trunk? do they try to change the hatake clan fate?)
Hatake Haruka, the woman that u are,,, I love her so much,, Pls have some art of her bc u made me want to draw her
NO BUT IM SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU LIKE HER !!! She consumes me,, Haruka my beloved,, She is so silly but also deeply comlex in the way that the silliest of guys tend to be. She is living her life to the fullest every single day both for the little girl she used to be and for all of those she's seen die along her path. She would commit horrible atrocities to keep her clan safe and not feel an inch of regret about it so long as her special people were happy. She refuses to share who's the father of her child and she sleeps around so much literally no one can fucking guess bc it could be anyone. She's my favorite shitty old woman in the entire world
ALSO OOO I HAVENT THOUGHT ABOUT THAT AU IN A WHILE !!
Kid Kakashi, some time after his fathers death, while exploring the old abandoned buildings in his clan compound finds a magic chest that transports him to the warring states era Hatake lands,,, He's picked up by the scruff by his very own grandmother as they try to figure out who he is and where he came from (and he tries to figure out if he's dreaming or not) and decide that, no matter what's going on with the mystery of how he came to be there, he's theirs now.
I don't remember if I went in depth on this au before or if I just mentioned the premise? I think I just mentioned the premise. It'd be a super self indlugent thing if I did write it, bc it'd have a ton of my Hatake ocs in it (and I always feel kinda cringe and self concious when it comes to writing long aus that involve them heavily interacting w canon)
BUT LIKE I HAVE AN EXCUSE TO TALK AB IT NOW. SO. SORRY IN ADVANCE FOR THE MANY OCS FEATURED BELOW BC ITS TIME TO TALK AB ⨠kid kakashi gets narnia'd to the warring states â¨
So I'm debating on his age, but something pre-kannabi bridge. So anywhere from 6 to 10? Because I want Rin and Obito involvement here ,, yk what I'm gonna go with like. 10. So he has some agency n real skill n stuff but is still baby. But like, a traumatized baby who serves in the military, with authority and trust issues that will make the whole healing thing way harder
Kakashi, for whatever reason, has decided to clean out some of the old houses in his clan compound. They're abandoned, total health hazards tbh-- falling apart, left to rot for some decades. Kakashi's never been in them before, but there's a first time for everything which leads him to here and now. And then leads him to finding a really old looking chest in a small dilapidated storehouse
Thinking. It has seals all over it, including carved into it, and it was created by Tobirama as a gift to his aunt-- it's meant to act as basically a bag of holding. But it didn't come out quite right and was shoved in a corner and forgotten about. And when Kakashi opens it, it seems... bottomless? The shadows in it went deep, and reaching into it, he couldn't find it's bottom. Which is how he somehow manages to fall into it
After tumbling through the dark for a concerning amount of time, he's tossed out the other end in another storage shed. One that looks a whole lot different from the one he'd just been in.
So. Kakashi has no idea where he is now.
He's a smart kid, and has to assume this was just some really impressive transportation jutsu he'd never seen or heard of before. That also just so happens to lead to his fucking backyard. Which, concerning, actually. Especially considering the fact that Konoha is still in the middle of a war
So like he snoops around and where the fuccckkkkk is heeee??? (Iron woods, 2 years before the Hatake leave for Konoha, that's where) But he's very quickly caught by one Hatake Tetsuo, the at the time 18ish year old clan heir, who was in the middle of playing some game of hide and seek w the younger kids and 100% thought Kakashi was one of the boys.
So Tetsuo is grabbing Kakashi by the scruff going "Alright, I caught you so quit--" and then he makes eyecontact with Kakashi. And Kakashi makes eye contact with him. And like a solid 5 seconds pass in perfect silence before Tetsuo finally cracks and goes "Wh-Who are you? Whos child is this? What the fuck?"
Kakashi manages to take advantage of his shock to kick him in the face and skitter away, but Tetsuo is quick to snap out of it and follow because HOLY SHIT WHOS KID IS THAT??????????????? SERIOUSLY WHOS FUCKING KID IS THAT?????????? WHAT THE FUCK????????
There are, to be clear, all of 26 Hatake total. And only three of them are proper children. Kakashi stood NO chance at hiding or blending in EVER, as every time someone sees him they immediately go "holy shit whos child is that????" They all know each other and there are only so many of them.
So Kakashi is now essentially playing a very high stakes game of tag with an entire clan of wolf people. The more he runs the more people spot him or hear the noise and join in. He tries to go back for the chest, but is caught right before he can get to the storage shed-- scruffed by the collar by a woman with a deep voice and his fathers face.
Uhh so family reunion time <333 idk how this would go exactly but everyone is fighting to get to see the new kid and Kakashi is kind of freaking the fuck out. He can't decide if this is good or not (though he's at least kind of figured out what's happening) He is certainly having A Time(tm) tho. Somehow simultaneously terrified and starstruck, and not half convinced he isn't just dreaming this all up
He's not gonna confess about the time travel. He doesn't trust what's happening enough to confess (just yet) Which is too bad bc the biggest question everyone has for him is "where the fuck did you come from"
But. The thing is about the warring states Hatake is that they do technically have their own time travel expert of sorts-- Tsuki, who had his own incident with being trapped in time for some years. And also, yk, a demon inside him that can sense weird spiritual shit. That also helps.
So Tsuki makes eye contact with Kakashi and just kinda "Oh boy! You shouldn't be here, now should you? :))"
Instant call out. Kakashi is fucked. But also, like, unless pressed there's a very good chance Tsuki would just keep that information to himself unless presented with the opportunity to use it to fuck with someone. Soley because it's funny to him. Also because Kakashi is so cute and Tsuki wants to be the favorite (and also bc yes, Tsuki is not above blackmailing an actual 10 year old)
So Tsuki is going "ok Ill keep ur secret so lets be friends now <33" and Kakashi is looking at him like he's crazy (which he is, to be fair) but also with a cautious sort of hope, and they shake on it and everything
(Tsuki is like 16 here btw. (technically 18 but he got frozen in time for some years and came out the same age, so, 16) Kakashi does not know what he's getting into)
But yeah lots of bonding and clan things and family time <33
Kakashi is getting adopted so hard by Haruka, who would possibly default into thinking he's the kid of her dead brother just like in here before and after me. But also maybe not, if Tsuki hints he knows smthn. (Haruka knows by now that not even she can get Tsuki to talk when he doesnt want to)
Kakashi is also getting big brothered by Tetsuo so hard. Tetsuo was Sakumo's godfather and sort of big brother, he helped to raise him along with Haruka and then did raise him after everyone died (till he also died) So I think Kakashi could look at him and see a lot of Sakumo in his general demeanor, which would be fun. Also kid Kakashi 100% respects and gravitates towards voice of reason type people, and Tetsuo is, unfortunately, one of the only voices of reason in that fucking clan
Of the kids of the clan, there are the 13 year old twins who are super taken with kakashi and trying so hard to get him to open up to them (they are very slowly getting somewhere,,,) they are luring him into playing pranks with them even as Kakashi insists this is stupid and a waste of time
There is also the like 6ish year old Kurumi who seems to have adopted Kakashi as her big brother and will bite anyone who says otherwise (including Kakashi himself)
Tsuki is watching Kakashi very curiously, it's unclear how much he knows. I think it would be fun if Kakashi used him as a sort of confidante and from the very start of this he gets to know most of the full story. He's just not fucking sharing with the clan bc he doesnt feel like it. Sorry <3
I think the Tsuki-Kakashi dynamic could also be interesting bc of Kakashi's own dynamic with Kushina, and how he might think Tsuki is a jinchuriki (hes not, hes something else) and how that could challenge Kakashi's own thoughts on what a jinchuriki is. Idk what I'd do with that thread, but it's a thread that exists and I'm squinting at it bc of that
Tetsuo is trying very hard to pry Tsuki away from Kakashi, begging Kakashi to have better taste in the friends he chooses among the clan, but its too late now bc Tsuki likes him. Sorry Tetsuo !! He called dibs !!
Anyways as all of this develops and Kakashi forms relationships with his clan from ages past, he's also using the chest to go back and forth between there and home.
Time works weird between the chests, and he finds that whenever he returns to the past, barely any time has passed since he left. But when he returns to the future, the amount of time he's been gone varies wildly. It seems like the more he uses the chest, the more time it takes from his future. Or something. Idk I dont wanna think ab it too hard, but like, time is weird
Kakashi's time with his clan is helping him a lot with his general everything, and his teammates are starting to notice the changes. Minato especially, seems very proud on his students attitude improvements. (Till he starts taking Haruka's advice and biting his teammates, anyways)
But just like. Kakashi's teammates noticing that something is up with him and that he's very often disappearing, nowhere to be found. Once in a while Kakashi will slip up and mention one of his clanmates in conversation then have to come up with increasingly convoluted lies about them. Maybe we can get a chapter where Kakashi, swearing Tsuki to secrecy, drags him to the future to back up his stories so that his teammates stop thinking he's making up friends.
Minato tries to adopt kakashi, talking ab how he feels bad knowing Kakashi lives all alone in that clan compound and so much time has passed, and maybe it's finally time for him to move in with sensei,,, Only for Kakashi, very much embaressed and very much NOT WANTING THAT, to blurt out that actually, he lives with his uncle Tetsuo.
And Minato very hesitantly says that he didn't know Kakashi had an uncle, and now Kakashi has to think up this whole backstory about it. And Minato, kind of frowning because yes he thinks Kakashi would lie about this to get out of the situation, asks if he can meet him.
"Sorry sensei, he lives far away, so you can't"
"But I thought you lived with him?"
"I mean. He is far away. On a mission. He'll be back. Soon. Obviously."
"Well then when he is back we should meet, I want to know who my student is living with. Maybe we can have a dinner together?"
Kakashi, very quietly, "fuck."
And now Kakashi has to beg Tsuki to pretend to be Tetsuo and come to the future to have dinner with his sensei so he stops trying to adopt him.
Tsuki is absolutely DELIGHTED, this is exactly why ur his favorite Kakashi-- no one else would think up such an insane scenario for Tsuki to get to play in.
Tsuki, who is incredible territorial and also has some quiet yandere tendencies but shhh don't look at that, it mostly comes out with Tetsuo then proceeds to have the most passive aggressive dinner with the also quietly territorial Minato who wanted (and wants) to adopt Kakashi. Kakashi is sweating BULLETS sitting between them, largely bc Tsuki keeps deliberately saying things that hint towards the truth, just to make him squirm
Minato, watching Kakashi grow increasingly uncomfortable, is convinced there's something wrong with this Tetsuo guy. He's begging Kakashi to tell him if something is wrong or if "Tetsuo" is hurting him or blackmailing him or just makes him uncomfortable. Kakashi's desperation to get the actual fuck out of that conversation only makes Minato feel worse about it all
(And then, when Kushina comes home later, the demon fox in her rears it's head at the lingering miasma in their dinning room. Instantly recognizing another yokai on it's territory. And that yokai no less-- he thought it had returned to it's sea decades ago. Kushina feels shock and edge, and can tell something is offputting about the chakraleft in their home, but Kurama refuses to talk to her about it bc he thinks she's a bitch. So she's left in the dark)
But ! Tsuki and Kakashi return home peacefully! Mission complete, good job everyone. Kakashi, make sure to tell Tsuki if you ever need any help dealing with that blonde twink because Tsuki is soooooo happy to help <3 Any time <3
So like, the good ending here is obviously that Kakashi stays with them and is loved and cherished and all that. And also him being there somehow changes history in small implied ways that end w the Hatake surviving up to modern day. But Kakashi doesn't know that, because no matter how much he might want to stay, no matter how much he is loved and cherished by these people, no matter how much he is given of that connection he's always yearned for-- he is first and foremost a loyal konoha shinobi.
Womp womp, child soldier brainwashing
(I say that like the warring states werent the exact same just in opposite, ur loyalties being 100% towards ur clan instead of ur village.)
so like, the Hatake have a TRIAL ahead of them of trying to convince him to stay. Especially when he does have people willing to fight for him (Minato, notably, would not just let his student go. Especially so now that he thinks theres something fishy happening)
Anyways. I think an endgame I'd want to see is Kakashi trying to leave his clan only for one or two of them to come through to his era to get him. What do u mean goodbye?? Ur one of us now, come back u silly guy <3
Treating this like a hypothetical fic, I think if I got to that point I'd ask people who they'd wanna see going to get him the most. Bc tbh my options are all very very fun and I can not choose myself. Mostly tho I'd think the two most fun options would be. Haruka or Tsuki going to get him.
So Haruka looks. Very, very much like her grandson. Which is to say she looks very, very much like her son son, Sakumo. So there's literally no chance in hell in her denying any relations bc everyone who sees her running around is immediately going "who the actual fuck was that"
Which is fine by her and if anyone asks she's totally Sakumo's big sister, dont worry about it (she'd claim to be his mother but doesn't know how old he was when he died and figured that possibly wouldn't go over too well if he was around her age. Which, seeing as he was only like a decade younger, yeah.)
And that excuse works fine on some people but eventually she's running into uhhhhhhh (rolling my dice here one sec.)
Tsunade. She's running into Tsunade, who's going "Excuse me I know Sakumo is an only child, actually. Now put the brat down or else."
And Haruka is like, "Oops, I've been caught!" and Tsunade obviously demand to know who tf she is, and she doesnt seem to like the very jokingly said "maybe I'm his time traveling mother <3" answer that she gives her (it's not Haruka's fault she wont believe her,,,)
before booking it bc she feels almost a little bit bad (not really) and Kakashi clearly cares about his village, so, best not to try and kill anyone? Give me the Tsunade vs Haruka 1v1 tho, it'd be fun. Technically Haruka is Tsunade's great aunt or smthn I think, since she's Hashirama's aunt, but neither of them know that
I want. Haruka to interact w Orochimaru specifically bc she actually has a history with the Orochi clan, which could go somewhere interesting, and Orochimaru had a friendly relationship with Sakumo, which could also go somewhere interesting. And that isn't even account for the fact that he's eventually going to turn traitor, so there's lots to explore on how he could see Kakashi potentially leaving the village
Haruka would also be a very recognizable face to a select few elders in Konoha, including the Hokage. So like, there's stuff there that can be poked at. And just in general, Kakashi's grandma !!! Coming to get him !!!!
Anyways, for the Tsuki option ->
While Haruka is very "Im going to get Kakashi and bring him back no matter what, and no one can stop me!" Tsuki is very. "Im going to get Kakashi and bring him back no matter what, and I really hope someone tries to stop me because it would be super funny to get to see what they throw at me, and I really want to drop some of them into the spiral demons domain, just for fun <3"
So like. That would go about as well as you'd think. Also, again: possessed by a demon and mistaken as a jinchuriki by Kakashi. Lot's of potential to do smthn there. Don't ask me what tho bc I dont know yet.
I think it'd be fun if Tetsuo maybe went with him, to try and keep him on a leash and also bc I love their dynamic. He JUST found out time travel exists like 3 minutes ago and has no fucking clue what's going on, but can always rely on his duty of making sure Tsuki doesnt blow people up for fun.
Pls know this is what I'm picturing rn:
Hatake "Voice of reason" Tetsuo and Hatake "I'm going to put that blond guy (Minato) in spiral demon purgatory for fun" Tsuki on their way to go get their kid (Kakashi)
These two might actually also be recognizable to a select few elders (specifically the Hokage) bc they were the last 2 Hatake standing before they also died (leaving only Sakumo), and Tetsuo for sure yelled at Sarutobi after his entire fucking clan died on a mission HE sent them on as one of his first acts as Hokage. So like, Sarutobi seeing them late at night somewhere in the village and recognizing them and going "holy shit I think I drank too much"
Anyways I want Tsuki and Minato to square up and fight over Kakashi bc it would be cool. Or maybe Tsuki and Kushina because demon things?
Tsuki locks eyes with Kushina and goes no fucking way. Then immediately starts talking directly to her stomach like "holy shit they got u !!! look at u !!! what a loser !!! the demon fox dragged down so low !! how does it feel to be in prison you LOSER !!!!" as Kurama is going "what the actual fuck how are you (addressing the demon, not Tsuki) here"
Tsuki is, to be clear, the amalgamation of man and demon. He is neither the man who was eaten by the spiral demon, nor is he the spiral demon, but something new and horrible in human form. A man made demon-- A demon made human. He is not a jinchuriki because there is no prison, no container, only him. The spiral demon itself is not a biiju but a proper force of nature demon with no consciousness, only will. When it ate Tsuki and then became one with him by accident, it gained a consciousness via being shoved into Tsuki's. If that makes any sense?
So like. Not a jinchuriki. And also very much having STRONG opinions about the jinchuriki. Freaks of nature! Abominations against the order of the world! Sure to backfire and kill everyone around them! How fun!
Anyways all of that is to say that he thinks Kurama is a loser for being trapped in his situation and Kushina is a DELIGHT and a ticking time bomb (his favorite kind of person tbh) and they should totally fight <33
Sorry, demon lore rant done we can get back to the Kakashi kidnapping
So like. Minato and Kushina vs Tetsuo and Tsuki custody battle for Kakashi, pass it on. Could be cool. This is a younger Minato, so he's not on the same level as where he will one day be, but he's still really fucking talented. I don't like power scaling and especially don't like putting my own ocs on levels of canon characters, but for the sake of the story at least we're going to need Tetsuo and Tsuki to at minimum get away with Kakashi, so yk,
If it helps at all, Tsuki is supposed to be my most powerful oc. Fuck that guy fr
Anyways Tsuki and Tetsuo kidnap Kakashi and ask him to pretty please not run away because they all love him VERY much (it's mostly Tetsuo doing the emotional talk here tbh, that shit is not Tsuki's strong suit and he should be shut up before he tries to say anything bc his mouth tends to only make things worse)
And they have a #EmotionalAndHealing talk and then everything turns out ok as kakashi agrees to come back with them. Yippie !!
Retreating to where I said all my options are fun: I fucking lied, the Tsuki and Tetsuo option is way more fun than anyone else. Sorry Haruka! It just makes more sense!
Also I really want to see the Minato vs Tsuki custody battle. Posessive morally grey pretty boy vs posessive morally grey pretty boy. Who will win!? (the one with plot armor and a demon lmao)
So anyways, moving on to another aspect of this story.
A thing about my Hatake timeline is that two winters before they come to Konoha, the clan is hit by a terrible sickness that kills five of them. And this sets off a sort of chain reaction that leads them to joining Konoha.
So I'm thinking, winter hits some time after Kakashi officially moved there, and some of his clanmates fall deathly ill. And, because of Kakashi's presence there changing the timeline in little ways, some of the people falling sick are the ocs who were never meant to die, and people Kakashi has come to care for.
One thing leads to another and in trying to think of a way to save them, Kakashi decides he has to somehow return to Konoha and bring back someone who can heal them
So anyways RIN AND OBITO TIME TRAVEL TIME !!!!!!!!
Kakashi returns, intending to steal Rin with some thoughts about how she could hopefully help since she's such a good mednin and how medical knowledge must have improved since the past. But as he sneaks into her house at night, he finds that Obito is also there for some team bonding sleepover shit or smthn
They're like, "holy shit, Kakashi! You got kidnapped by those guys who blew up a building and put sensei in purgatory! and now ur here!"
and Kakashi is like "Um. So. About that." and then has to explain that those guys were actually his family (yes, for real) and also they're sick now and can you pretty please come back with him to help heal them maybeee??
And they argue ofc, because BRO YOU WERE KIDNAPPED??? AND NOW UR TRYING TO LURE US INTO A SECOND LOCATION WITH UR KIDNAPPERS??????????????
And Kakashi is like "This was stupid, nevermind, forget I was ever here" and Rin and Obito reach out to stop him bc he is NOT just LEAVING AGAIN??
And in the end, somehow, hesitantly, they agree to go with him. Because team 7 is team 7 and over the course of this story (and with Kakashi's clan's help on his healing and general wellbeing) they have bonded some. And even if that hadn't happened, Obito and Rin are so ride or die it's stupid.
So. Time to prove it by doing something stupid. Aka OBITO AND RIN TIME TRAVEL TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uhh then Obito and Rin get to go to the warring states and meet everyone and Rin is able to help heal them due to how illnesses and cures have progressed in the modern age (and also she's just that good) and then uhh. More plot things happen, probably
Idk this ended up being really long, but I had fun thinking about it (and also talking about my silly guys) So I think I'll just end up leaving this here
Thank you so much for your ask !!! I'm always happy to talk when given an excuse to talk ab my silly little guys
