They’re assholes but Karin is, even at Supposedly Age Three, babbling at Tobirama about proper lab protocol and chemical reactions and isn’t that just the most adorable thing?.

(Also none of them are particularly pressed to ditch the Senju and find their clans.

(It’s not kidnapping if they show up and break into your house first.).

“…Tobirama, did you steal these children?” “Are the Uchiha going to accuse us of stealing a clan child?” “Two of them are trying to kill each other.”

I’m considering the tent of tranquility idea (courtesy of and I’ve come to the decision that Tobirama’s… probably going to end up with Several Holes in it, and burns, and cuts, because Karin and Suigetsu never stop fighting, and if they’re fighting, they’re not paying attention to how soon Juugo’s going to lose his grip on control.

I’ve read so many “Team Seven time-travels and is de-aged, get adopted by the Founders” or “a Founder time-travels forward and adopts Naruto, subsequently picking up the others” and they’re good but I now want the same plot with an even more dysfunctional collection of… eldritch mishaps? The AO3 feel of “I want this fic I just read, again, but a step to the left so it feels fresh and new”.

Marginally more ethical than Orochimaru.Įveryone around them is like “This is a terrible idea and it’s all going to end horribly” and he’s just like “Ah, these are now my children.” I am falling more and more in love with the idea of Tobirama ending up with custody of Team Taka somehow. Deaging Team Seven for the sake of tossing them back in time for a Founder to adopt is pretty common, but I’m trash for Taka so this AU started with me brainstorming the asshole team.
