    Summary

    “You want my help?” Sukuna’s voice was measured, almost quiet.

    Yuji dropped to his knees, his head bowed, shoulders trembling with the weight of his plea. “Yes. Help me. Teach me. Please.” His voice was raw, breaking with desperation.

    He didn’t care how humiliated he looked. He didn’t care about pride. If it meant protecting people, he’d gladly discard it.

    Sukuna watched him, he scanned the boy who knelt before him, his form bent and vulnerable. For a fleeting moment, he felt something foreign, different from mockery or disdain.

    Summary

    It’s just … he’d thought, given his fight against Neji and then his confrontation with Gaara, that someone would finally really acknowledge what he’d done.  That beyond Iruka-sensei’s crushing hug and Kakashi-sensei’s absent pat, someone would actually notice that he’d won against both of them.

    That he’d beaten a genius on his own and then had battled another jinchūriki to a stand still.

    So while he hadn’t really expected to be promoted too he’d still ...

    Summary

    They made Tobirama the Senju Clan Head.

    ...omg they made Tobirama the Senju Clan Head.

    ***

    This is the story where Tobirama is made Clan Head, fucks shit up. We find out more about what goes on between the clans during the Warring Clan Era, shit still gets fucked up. Power dynamics change, history as you know it will be erased, and you got another thing coming if you think that Senju-fucking-Tobirama will stand back now that he's given center stage.

    It all goes F.U.B.A.R. from here on out.

    Summary

    Hashirama saved Izuna and Madara agreed to peace. Konoha is standing on its new foundation, resting on the shoulders of two giants.

    But where does that leave their loyal shadows? The little brothers that swore themselves to the way of war? What good are their sharp edges when the world wants to learn to be soft?
    Who would understand that it's not so easy to let go of living your life in ever-present readiness to fight, to kill?

    [despite this vague summary this is actually very much a fix-it for the Founder's era. Izuna lives. The Shinobi Wars sort of don't happen. Sort of. Everyone lives. Hashimada is canon. Couple of OCs kicking around to fill the background.]

    Summary

    Obito thought quickly. "They're part of a... club... for babysitters."

    "A club," said Kakashi, flat.

    "Yep. A... babysitter's club."

    "I see," said Kakashi, who clearly didn't see at all.

    "Yeah, the clouds on the coats are supposed to be a soothing visual for kids?" Obito said, as he decided to dig himself deeper.

    "In red and black."

    "Okay, the color scheme could maybe stand to be changed," Obito conceded. He heard Konan snort from underneath the table.

    He glanced briefly at Hidan, who was now shaking his shoulders, and the entire curtain, laughing at Obito.
