Team 7 gets zapped into the warring states era but it's like, team 7 either mid or directly after wave-arc.
They're babies!! They're untrained little babies!!! None of them have gotten that good good character development yet!! Kakashi is still actively desperately wanting to not teach them!! (tho he may have just gotten his "ahh fuck. I actually have to teach them, huh." Moment)
Sasuke looks like a carbon copy of a younger Izuna and it's going to cause problems
Naruto thankfully doesn't look much like an Uzumaki, but his tendency to very loudly introduce himself is going to get him into trouble
Going w my usual flavor of "the Hatake are a very small but very famous clan known for being fucking insane", people are seeing Kakashi and going "oh god oh fuck what are one of THOSE guys doing here oh sage preserve us please don't eat me" as Kakashi just kinda stands there like š§āāļø
Sakura is the only one safe from not being fucked up and over her clan, good for her!
-> back to the Hatake thing.
The kids still know virtually nothing about their sensei so they're learning all this stuff about his clan and believing every word of it, from the believable rumors to the insane.
Sakura, in a hushed, worried voice: "Sensei,, is it true ur clan eats people??"
Kakashi, who's father died before he could tell him almost anything about their clan and genuinely doesn't know but at this point is starting to get a little worried about it:
Kakashi, who also never passes up the opportunity to fuck with someone: "only stupid little students who ask stupid little questions <3"
Sakura and Sasuke: *worriedly look at a confused Naruto*
For convoluted reasons they run into the Hatake of the era and after introductions they look at the kids and are like,
"Oh!!! Ok, so this is your kid, right? :)" pointing at Sakura.
And Kakashi is like. ",,no."
"Ohhh, ok. So this one is your kid then?" *points at Naruto*
",,,,,,,,no."
They look at him confused then nod at Sasuke. "So then that one's your kid, right?"
"None of them are my children."
*visibly disapproving / disbelieving side eye*
One big difference between this and the team ro time travel one is how much less trustworthy Kakashi comes off to literally everyone who looks at him.
He's a trained adult shinobi, probable bloodline thief (with no way to prove his innocence), and he has 3 children from 3 different clans (2 of which are indirectly enemies bc the Uzumaki is a Senju ally) (1 of which might have a direct relation to the Uchiha main house) and comes from an infamously volatile "wild clan" from another country entirely (Iron country)
He is NOT getting out of this with talk no jutsu bullshit. He has a target on his back from day 1 and it will take a minor miracle to get even a single person hear him out
Anyways uhhā
Saying Tajima and Butsuma are still alive but due to die in some months (till team 7 accidentally interfere and somehow accidentally save Tajima, maybe also Butsuma but I'm more biased towards Tajima so I'm thinking just him actually)
Kakashi sees baby Kagami and feels like he's been hit by a truck bc he looks just like a miniature Shisui and he has hang-ups about his "suicide"
Half-Hatake Tobirama is catching HEAT from Kakashi's antics. Why does one of ur cousins have a sharingan. Where did he get those children. Do you know anything about this. Is it your duty to help hunt him down bc hes your blood. If not yours then it's definatley the Hatake's, call them immediately and tell them to clean up their mess.
Bloodline theft is like THE ultimate no-no for all shinobi, especially in this era. To the point that even ancient enemies will sometimes temporarily set aside grudges to kill bloodline theives. Kakashi is so fucked, someone get him out of there
Mmmm there are like still bits and pieces of thoughts floating around in my head for this but I can feel myself getting distracted and want to get back to art fight so I'll leave it here for now
[vibrates in place] YES!!11!!!!1
Maybe it's Tobirama's responsibility to, if not catch the rogue Hatake himself, at least tell the clan that "ayo, we got a feral cousin, come get your mans" bc u can pry "Hatake are extremely possessive to other Hatake bc mmm pack" from my Cold. Dead. Hands. Another Hatake headconon u can pry from my cold dead hands is "Hatake's aren't meant to be alone, so they go a lil bit crazy if they don't got pack around". Which gives you a great way out from Kakashi being a suspicious motherfucker!
So people keep hitting Tobirama up bc hey, u got a lookalike that's fucking shit up everywhere and also fucking stole our kids maybe?!?! Dude! Not cool! And he's like "oh hell nah" and almost immediately sets out to go visit granny Kama (scythe, I know, incredibly basic of me) and when he gets there, he tells her all about this supposed Hatake that's causing problems and apparently stealing kids? Like shinobi kids. Real weird, maybe your reputation is getting even worse-
Granny Kama, Grandma Supreme, Head of the Hatake, Absolutely Terrifying Woman, smacks some sense into her grandkid.
First off, no judging family, you always have your family's back and give them the benefit of the doubt, especially with all the Hatake hate from all the boring stupid outsiders. So if there's a Hatake going crazy out there, you better sympathize.
Second off, stealing kids? Feral behavior. Clearly, this Hatake is in the middle of dying from mental health issues bc Hatake don't survive without pack, so this Hatake literally grasping at straws to not die, aka stealing people who could easily become pack. Again, sympathize and you're gonna offer your help or I will feed you to my wolf partner.
Third off, any kid, especially any shinobi kid, that's been stolen clearly weren't being protected enough and therefore the kids now legally belong to the Hatake, unless someone wants to challenge that? .... didn't think so.
Fourth off, you know, you don't have any kids, Tobi-chan, and no Hatake living with you in the Senju compound, and you barely visit, so maybe this is a sign from the gods that you should woo this mysterious Hatake and nurse them back to healt-
And that's about where Tobirama very rudely stands up, gives her a hug, and then leaves without another word (at least, it feels rude, but the Hatake don't really care about politeness, so it's not rude at all, he gave her a hug, that's the only part that would've been mean to not do).
Meanwhile, Kakashi is running through a forest with three kids that are barely keeping up and a fourth kid in his arms that he didn't have five minutes ago bc he has little to no self control. But he definitely does not at all have any problem with adoption or needing a pack or anything at all, really. He is so healthy.
A Great Fireball flies by over their heads.
So, so healthy.
Reusing one of my favorite lines from another post sorry, but I LOVE the mental image of Tobirama sending his aunt the ninja equivalent of a lost dog poster going "yo auntie come get your dog it's tearing my lawn up"
Kakashi is NOT beating the mother hen allegations.
I honestly think it'd be kind of funny if u stick to canon and like, he's actually a little bad with kids / genuinley wants nothing to do with his team. BUT the Hatake thing ab them being serial adopters + not being good when left alone is also real. (Kakashi is just either an outlier or his instincts are buried under all that trauma + general avoidance of children as a whole)
So like. Kakashi is standing there, arms filled with children (that he did not ask for!!!) and everyone who looks at him is going "oh no,,, his Hatake instincts have overtaken him,,, he got so desperate he stole children this is literally so sad,,"
BUT NO !!! THESE ARE NOT HIS KIDS !!!! HE WANTS OUT !!!!!!!
But like. Also they've time traveled. There's no one to pass them off to or place to hide from them he's now their legal guardian as their sensei and also the only adult who can reasonably be trusted to care for them till they can get back home.
It's like one of those situations where ur mother is constantly asking when you're going to get married/have kids, and you can't just tell her to fuck off bc that's your MOM. So you just kind of squirm in ur seat and deflect
(And then eventually he slowly slips from genuinley wanting out to actually seeing them as his kids but also being DEEP in denial about it
Kids?? What kids?? He doesn't have any kids. Those brats??? Nah he hates them (he says while pausing to buy their favorite foods in the middle of a life or death chase)
Anyways ->
A) @eularin, you're a genius
B) I wanna propose an alternative, the Uchiha hear him out and decide he has to do a ghost marriage to Obito in order to keep the eye. So instead of Kakashi lying ab being married to Obito he is actually now legally married to his (not actually all that dead) ghost (oops)
Not that he fuckin knows it tho!
Also this way the Uchiha get to own his ass (and sharingan) + also get Sasuke and the other bonus children (they mostly care about Sasuke)
Anyways uhh.
Really big fan of taking the half-hatake Tobirama train and then also saying he's Kakashi's uncle (his mother was sisters with Kakashi's grandma) and saying Kakashi actually resembles him a decent amount
It's shown up a couple times in my fics actually. Every time I sprinkle a little "When he glares he resembles Tobirama" line in my fics my depression gets a little better
But my point is -> there's SOME kind of implications with Sasuke being a little Izuna look alike running around w a guy who resembles Tobirama. I don't know what implications (Tobirama doesn't have his reputation for being a mad scientist yet or else I'd say someone do a "clones gone wrong" theory) but like. Idk there's potential for smthn there
Don't ask me what tho
