Stupid fic concept I low key love:

The Akatsuki gets isekai'd into a modern-esque world. All individually. Not realizing it had happened to anyone else. And gradually find each other months or years later. Just squinting at each other as they see how they each managed to make a living / survive in this new world. Like dude I've seen you burn a man's flesh off his bones what do you mean you work at the library and host themed learning months for the kids now.

Based on this post about Shang Quinghua reincarnating into Naruto as Uchiha Izumi (Itachi's vaguely romantic interest as a kid)

SQH ends up in Naruto with a time limit and a guarantee that he'll die "for realizes" this time unless he somehow manages to become a relevant and important character in a colorful cast of literal hundreds. Oh yeah, and he only has like 13 years before the system expects him to die.

Oops?

The act of surviving would issue a punishment protocol + retract enough points to kill him anyways, so SQH is kinda damned if he do, damned if he dont— unless he somehow manages to get enough points to survive.

So basically SQH has 2 goals:

1. Get enough points to be able to survive their subtraction after he goes against the system and survives the massacre

2. Actually survive the massacre

I think once he survives the massacre he's left with like, literally a SINGLE point left. THE only thing keeping him alive.

From there he grants himself a bit of a break, then realizes he has a golden ticket to character relevance in the form of taking care of Sasuke-- then probably accidentally becomes attached on the way.

Later he'll try to steal some of Sasuke's own character beats by trying very hard to get Orochimaru's attention, then taking Sasuke's place in defecting from Konoha. Very messy, very fun, he is begging the system on his KNEES to know if he's finally done enough to get a pass for this life but the system refuses to tell him SHIT till "the main story is done"

Thanks, system. Really.

Anyways: I think growing up he had to balance whether he wanted to go for the child prodigy route (probably bad for the long run knowing what the village liked to do to them, but good for his narrative, so...?)

He probably dreams of being a desk shinobi, and would also be disgustingly good at it from being head of the logistic peak, but he showed his skills too early in the game and that kind of locked him into being a frontline fighter (he is suffering.)

His own ideal ending for himself is like, being an assistant to the Hokage probably. Very important role !!!! Narrative potential guarenteed!!! Also: he doesn't have to leave the village.

I think he specializes in fuinjutsu and also poisons. He's famous among his peers for being incredibly paranoid and overpacking to SHIT, he carries everything in those bags of his fr. He probably invents some space time storage seal to make a bag of holding

For a hatake!Tobirama au I think it'd be incredibly funny if he and Kakashi knew each other and were like. "Yeah no this is just how we interact. Nothing weird here." but any Hatake could tell from a mile away that they had accidentally become pack / imprinted on each other as family

One of the most bittersweet / morbidly funny parts about writing Itachi fanfic is how little anyone reading trusts me to give him a honest to god victory. Every time something goes well for him I get a barrage of comments / DMs going "That went too well I don't trust it :I" or "What's the catch you sick fuck" like shit who hurt you guys

Kisame whenever anyone questions his appearance: I have a skin condition and my body modifications (gills) make me feel more comfortable about it >:( how about you mind your own buisness. Oh, you know a good doctor? Is there something wrong with how I look? Maybe I'm comfortable in my body >:(

He got tiktok for cool shark videos and quickly realized if he did this enough they wouldn't press it / he wouldn't end up in a tank somewhere

Itachi may be a genius, but he needs guidance, and I decided early on that Sasuke wouldn’t blow up his cover easily, but it’s not more important than protecting Itachi from what’s about to happen.
