AHAHAHAHAHHAA YSSSSSSSS can you imagine Katsuki with Kurama in his brain? Those two are basically on the same wavelength. And not just because of the attitude. Like, Kurama is ALL about the Sage's principles and Katsuki comes from a world where they're like, a step closer to that. They'd be sniping at each other constantly and loving it. And unlike other transmigrated characters, Katsuki would have someone who talks to him like he's an adult. That could be nice.

He'd resent babyhood So Much. Most angry baby ever. Especially if the sitters are doing a terrible job. And if he can do the Evil Sensing thing a lot of people headcanon. He can Sense that everyone hates this stupid baby body and he despises that on principle.

The Demon Child thing will only be reinforced by his attitude and his freakish ability to not only understand everything around him, but pick up speech and chakra moulding. He doesn't care about what people call him. He'd been almost-recruited by the League of Villains and spat in their faces for it! He'd been chained like a wild animal on live television by his own teachers and still proved that he's hero material! And calling him a demon isn't as insulting as they think, he has one in his head, so he would know.

But he'll still show them! He'll become the (Number One Hero) Hokage! And everyone will know he's strong enough to protect them all!

He'd be very self-sufficient after they let him live alone, obviously. And after the Uchiha Massacre he'd 1. Immediately adopt Sasuke and feed him real meals. 2. Get a reality check about what Konoha is. So now becoming Hokage is even more important! Because these people have no idea what a peaceful world where an entire neighborhood doesn't get killed in a single night looks like. Or, you know, where they have Child Protective Services.

I don't think he would be secretive about the reincarnation thing at all. His year-mates would be the only ones who believe him about it at first. Everyone else probably assumes he got all if Minato's smarts and twice Kushina's temper.

Also, him keeping his quirk like in my Katoshi AU because of the quirk-soul connection would be hysterical

Can we get a slightly older Genma coming out to Minato about being bisexual? Genma a little teary eyed as Minato comforts him?

*Gasp* a request. I'll see what I can do, but I make no promises! This goes for requests in general, folks.

weeeeeeeellllll uh. It's not Just Orochimaru. It's so funny that you're bringing this up now because I'm writing a oneshot from Inuzuka Goro's pov as a challenge to myself. We're addressing some of all that there.

Brainwash is a quirk! It didn't come about from anything Kakashi's physical body has.

Hitoshi's soul is connected to it, so when he got punted across the multiverse and reincarnated he brought it with him. Naruto-verse genetics have nothing to do with it, even though his chakra system *did* have to adapt to the weirdness his soul was doing.

Now, in practice it functions as a kekkei genkai. A sort of naturally-occurring Yin Release, like a genjutsu or a Yamanaka technique that doesn't actually require Kakashi to use hand seals.

(If chakra paper reacted to Yin/Yang chakra like it does to elemental chakra Kakashi's would read as Yin.)
