Teaching the Next Generation To Blame Danzo: A Jounin Sensei Quest (A Naruto AU)

[X]The Grass Earth Route: Grass has always been an opportunistic bunch, but they have always been lax on border security, as well as several dozen other stupid shit if the stories you heard from Ayako were true. But in the last war, they were opportunistic against Earth Nin, and they have a heavily guarded border, with a lot of trade and merchant traffic. Maybe you could sneak in.

Again the siblings would be good. Also I think one of the movies had another family member but he was just normal criminal scum. Not a tragic misunderstood villain.

I like the much healthier interactions he has with the kids.
I like the fact that he's teaching all three of them, and not just the one with the Special Pink Eye. I liked the OG Naruto but one of my biggest complaints is that Naruto doesn't really learn any new techniques. Nor do they lean into the fact that just from what we see on screen he's an absolutely terrifying stealth specialist. I just would have liked it if they lent more into the actual Ninja theme over the Super Powers. Maybe even lean more into the politics of the area.
 
[X]The Grass Earth Route

Stealth is the way to go when you have a guy who can sink into wood, a genin who pranks root and can play distraction with Shadow clones, an Illusion specialist with reality warping. Hmm. I forgot someone? Impossible. The idea that there is some third member who lacks broken ass abilities that favor sneaking is ridiculous. Your crazy.

That would mean the rest of the sand siblings are Uzumaki's...

You know what I'm okay with that head canon. :V
Basically it might be actual canon. Think about the timing. Perfect to be refugees from the destruction of uzugakure. Other than garra and his father who do you see in sand with that shade of red hair? The fact that he was the first person to try dealing this thing since the original bearer and managed to get some solid passive sand manipulation and apparently trap a bit of his wife's soul in there too.

Yamato is a traumatized war orphan who has empathy to those around him and is going to therapy to work out his issues.

His three students are on very levels of broken, from issues that were not their fault or that they were born into... And he wants to make them better people who are strong enough to not be broken like he was, and others were.

Looking at you Kakashi.

And guess what, it's working. A lot. Because having someone who can help them through their fucked up issues is honestly something they need right now.

Well it wouldn't be a good Jounin Quest if we weren't teaching the kids properly now, would it.

After all, we aren't Kakashi, we aren't blinded by our grief and our trauma.

We're getting through that trauma and becoming a better person.

All I will say is this:

Sasuke is really good at Poker, even without his special eyes.

It's just Naruto is much lukier, so if you want to make huge stacks of cash on Konoha's dime... you have the team for it.

... I'm not bowing to the whims... but I am going to be very... interested.
 
New bloodlines can emerge you know. Almost all elemental bloodlines did not present in either Kaguya or her immediate descendants.

Frequent genetic bottlenecks are bit of a risk when some random person can, and from what we've seen often does, start wiping out villages by the dozen, and the guys with superpowers are a lot more likely to successfully pass on their genes than Formerly-living Farmer #5.

Annnnnnnd that's relevant how?
Big and frequent genetic bottlenecks mean a lot of common ancestors, and the Uzumaki are old, have a predisposition for inheriting strength (and thus being less likely to die horribly to some random crazy person), and unlike the Hyuugas or Uchiha aren't all that likely to violently hunt down any illegitimate children or relatives outside of the Clan's control. Odds are they're a pretty common sight if you start tracing the family trees back far enough.

It's a heavy burden but it's a burden to be expected of his (future) position!
Wonder if telling him this possible use would get him to learn to hold a clone/henge for even as short a trip a travel thru Earth?
You will have a write in for travel stuff…

Don't worry it will be fun as I roll to see who is trying to kill you first.
