“I think–” he says, then stops. He looks toward the back of the cave, face wan in the pre-dawn light. “If you could start all over again,” he starts again, very soft, “would you?”
There is blood lingering in the lines of Sakura’s palms. She has not been fully clean in a long time. It would have been hell on Kakashi’s nose, she notes distantly. It had been, back when there were more of them, when they felt safest clumped together, when there were enough of them to clump together.
“Yes,” she replies, just as soft. “I would make it better.”
more of my “kaguya causes the apocalypse” au, which is also a time travel fix-it according to my earliest draft. listen. obito and sakura would be a fucking power team. they’ve got an itemized list of lives to save and asses to kick.
gnnn OP your tags, i lov:
#they wld also be hilarious bc i mean. cmon. obito spent like sixteen years pretending to be madara and at least one year of being tobi #mash those two things together and you get some wretched hashirama-madara child #with all of madara’s angst and all of hashirama’s traits that madara HATED #in the bingo books they publish his family as madara and hashirama and sakura almost cries with laughter #like – ideally someone will resurrect madara anyway and there’s also hashirama and tobirama and minato etc etc. #madara is yelling HASHIRAMAAAAAA as is his wont. gearing up for a truly villainous speech #and then – #naruto (yelling up at him): HEY! HAVING A KID WITH HASHIRAMA WASN’T ENOUGH?! YOU WANT TO /COMBINE YOUR BODIES/ TOO?! #madara stops short and is like … What #hashirama (who has been blithely ignoring madara) tunes back in like Wait ? Kid? What? #naruto: YOU DIDNT EVEN TELL HIM HE WAS A FATHER?!?!!!?! #obito (somewhat further back): DAD HOW COULD YOU?
