Oh gosh, I don’t know. Kakashi is pretty interesting from an outside perspective because he can be really silly but also complicated. Kankurou and Kiba are both fun because they bounce of Shikako really well being snarky. And Sasuke is the opposite – being very deadpan when things happen.
A/N1: Because Chapter 105 reminded me about just how wonderfully ruthless and cunning Shikako really is, and I’m always a sucker for the categorization of things. As for the title–I’m not promising that I will do the other teams/characters, but I’m also not saying that I won’t.
On the TVTropes page, the members of Team Seven have already been labelled into their respective roles within the Freudian Trio / Four-Temperament Ensemble / Five-Man Band (don’t worry about the numbers, it will all make sense later). Which, for the most part, I agree with (my problem has more to do with how the website defines the roles than the allocation of them, but with TVTropes you really do have to read everything with a grain of salt).
However, I wanted to add some of my own analysis and labeling because, well, my brain thinks it’s fun. And maybe some of my fellow DoS fans will get some enjoyment out of reading this.
Here are the members of Team Seven and their respective allocations. The normal font is from the TVTropes site while the bolded and italicized are my own additions/adjustments.
Naruto
the Id (the Superego) Sanguine The Hero E(N/s)FP – Idealist Gryffindor Chaotic Good
Sasuke
the Superego (the Id) Choleric (Melancholic) The Lancer IS(T/f)J – Guardian Hufflepuff True Neutral
Shikako
the Ego Melancholic (Choleric) The Smart Chick (I/e=A)NTP – Rational Slytherin Chaotic Neutral
Kakashi
the Mentor Phlegmatic The Big Guy IST(P/j) – Artisan Ravenclaw Neutral Good
Kakashi never gets an easy time of it. Poor thing. He tries his hardest, but by this point in his life I think he’s very used to failure (at least in particular ways) and his team really don’t make things easy on him.
[that doesn’t involve death or pointy objects] is a lot to ask of ninja really, isn’t it?
Sounds about right. You can’t say she’s still her ‘adult’ age, when her body is young and developing and people are treating her like a child and she’s acting like a child either naturally or purposefully… and its certainly not a continuing count like I’ve seen some people suggest ‘adult life + 13 ninja years’…
It does result in Shikako having higher standards for herself than others might.
Now that’s a complicated one. Both the question and Kakashi’s thoughts…
I think he did want to take on Team 7. Maybe wasn’t so convinced it was a good idea or that he knew how to teach them, but he has connections to Naruto and Sasuke.
I don’t think he expected to really care for them as much as he grew to. Really care, as people, not just as comrades he won’t let die. And of course, I don’t think he expected how much trouble they would get into and how often he would worry about them. Kakashi is a person who has lost a lot of people – not being there, being too late, making mistakes… – and I think he’s pretty desperate to not lose any more.
I haven’t read that one in a while, so I can’t give specifics, but I answered a similar question a little while ago and the summary is basically that Shikako is going to be suspicious of people she can immediately pinpoint as ‘being out of place’. Because they’ll cause ripples and that puts all her knowledge and information into question. And also because she’s in a very precarious position of knowing a lot of secrets but not being able to stop the people responsible just yet.
I guess that depends on how obvious that it was that the other person was reincarnated. Because there’s a lot of room between the lines for siblings to exist (Chiyako doesn’t, for one and we know next to nothing about the families of other rookies).
So the first part of the question ‘what if Konoha 12 had siblings’ gets a very non-reaction because it’s not a big deal. (Unless, you know, it was someone who’s family life probably should have rated a mention, like Sasuke or Naruto.)
The second part of the question is more ‘how would she react to another SI’. And, lets be honest, that would probably not be great. There’s a lot of danger in the Naruto world in having dangerous secrets – and more in other people knowing you have them. Shikako tries to minimize her personal risk by keeping her head down, especially early on, and you can never be totally convinced that someone else is going to follow through with a plan like that. Or do it well enough to not get caught. Or not spill the beans about you if they are.
See what I’m saying?
In summary, would probably come down to who that SI was, and what they were like and how they acted – and whether they identified her as out-of-place or not.
So I’ve given a couple of answers to variations of this here and here. The important thing to remember, really, is that Shikako is playing a high stakes game of ninja chess for basically her entire life – another reincarnated person is going to be a wild card. And she’s really not going to like or trust that.
If you picture her suspicion and distrust of Sai when he showed up early on, and then realise exactly how much she knows about the inside of his head and how many strings to pull and what his goals/backstory is and who he reports to… and then realise a reincarnated person is going to be a giant blank spot who potentially holds some serious blackmail material over her if they realise she is also a reincarnation…. yeah.
Even if they mean well – and there’s a good chance they won’t, remember – they’re still coming very close to what might be her most viciously defended secret. It’s not going to be pretty, is what I’m saying.
