Bakugou Katsuki reincarnating as Naruto Uzumaki after defeating All for One. Konoha either gets all its problems solved in a week, or ends up as a crater.

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

Sorry, my brain grabbed your idea and just RAN

Say, I wonder what Minato and I assume Shikaku and Inoichi is around the same age group think about Katoshi?

And speaking of Katoshi, does he count as an unreliable narrator? He had this habit of downplaying his achievement. Nevermind that he was ,I assume almost at his 50s if he view people near 30s are young?

Shikaku thinks there's something fishy. He's a genius from a clan of geniuses so he knows what a six year old with too many brains is actually supposed to act like. Atm he kind of thinks Orochimaru is at fault for Katoshi's weirdly grown up behavior. That combined with the fact that Kakashi was taking care of Sakumo and not the other way around for years before he died.

Minato mostly takes what Kakashi does in stride. He may be a genius but he actually isn't good with people/kids, especially not at this age, so he was relieved he could actually have normal conversations (aka very difficult jutsu theory discussions) with Kakashi more than anything.

More of that as the war progresses!

Katoshi is 1000% an unreliable narrator. And he was 31 when he died (same age as Auregonian's Road to Nowhere Kakashi who died during Pein's attack), he just thinks 30 year olds are young because he thinks of *himself* as relatively young.

So, the fic, I'm having a feeling that Inuzukas are esp wary of Katoshi cuz they smell Orochimaru's or specifically, snake scent all over him. So, dog scent and Snake scent to inuzuka= double trouble in animal sense. Does the same apply to Aburame and any summon or animal specialists?

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.

But yeah, in this story I am sort of leaning into the animal trait thing and the inter-clan difficulties those traits might exacerbate.

IM CRYING YOUR GENMA MINATO ART MADE MY HEART SOAR!!!! I yearn for content of pre hokage minato and everybody else as kids. Thank you for blessing us with this beautiful content

YAY IT MADE MINE SOAR AS I WAS DRAWING IT TOO!!!!! Kakashi's generation as kids and their sensei are full of potential for some fun exploration. I've been thinking about them quite a bit since my crossover story happens around that time so I got a couple of headcanons lurkin in the noggin

[anidiotlearning]

After seeing your Minato and Genma art I have a request….

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.

I use this blog mostly to draw whatever is on my mind at that moment (seriously I'll make plans for something just hours before and then I'm no longer feeling it when I sit down to draw) and to keep my creative juices flowing. So I'll keep the idea in mind and see if I'm up to it, ok?

[anidiotlearning]

I love your art !!! I adore how you draw Yamato and kid Naruto together, so cute 😭

Thank you! That's very nice of you to say :) I'm frankly amazed by the response those drawings got. Definitely my most popular atm. The people are really hungry for Yamato and Naruto found family apparently? Well, I guess I am too. That's why I drew them. But still! I was surprised

I should have asked earlier (maybe for giggles) but will the whole mystery of unmasking shemanigans happen again? Katoshi did claim his main reason to use mask is cuz his nose is very sensitive. The whole Fangirl stuff is downright scary, even as a girl myself. Imagine you use mask cuz you're allergic and when you just wanna drink everyone stare at you like you're the last black friday grocery sale. I'd run immediately if I were him, rudeness be darned.

Oh, we've not seen the last of the Academy Girl Gang I promise. They're lying low for the moment because village sentiment towards the Hatake isn't great. They so much as mention the object of their fascination around any adult whatsoever and get Scary Looks.

But you can bet this only enhances the Mystery for them. The Pathos. The Tragedy! Especially when they hear the rumors of how Kakashi's father, the war hero the White Fang, nobly took his own life for the preservation of his family's honor! Despite the reason for the dishonor being equally noble itself! How romantic! (Classical version of romance not the lovey-dovey type.)

The civilian girls who get more cultural contact with the Capital (books, poetry, plays, etc.) would see the parallels between Kakashi's life and those stories. I imagine the Fire Capital has a lot of cultural similarities with late Edo Period Japan. So those vibes. The civilian girls have... an influence on shinobi girls who didn't necessarily grow up on the same norms.

Now that I think about it it would be really funny if they formed factions because of the "Cannibal Kakashi" thing. The fandom could split between 1. The ones who Do Not believe their pure precious baby would ever do anything like that and anyone who thinks so is evil and not a True Fan and 2. The ones who think it's Cool and Dark and probably imagine him biting their enemies. There would be more shinobi-born girls in group 2 I think. But who knows?

Ok but don't take the last paragraph as gospel I literally just thought that up lol
