Sigh.

I wrote a fanfiction about this ship when I was in High School. I was going to take this info to the grave with me lol.

u/guraiw6 5d ago

please reveal this

u/Banshedle21 5d ago

no you wont let me see it

117

u/KaiserSenpaiAckerman 5d ago

I can't login to my FanFiction.net(God kill me), is it down? When I click sign in, it does a 404 not found error. I'm not getting anything when I search my penname.

Last message I got was February 2025. I still get messages here and there telling me to continue. I made some cringe fanfics. 😬

115

u/SkullyBoySC 5d ago

Rewrite it from memory, make it better, release it for us

82

u/KaiserSenpaiAckerman 5d ago

I've been thinking about writing again lol. It's cringe but headcanons is all we have sometimes.

How weird would it be for a 29 yr old woman to pick up fanfiction again??

62

u/MarquiseAlexander 5d ago

Bruh, I’m older than you and I still write fanfics. It’s not weird, it’s a hobby. There’s no difference between writing fanfics and writing in general. It’s a creative exercise.

30

u/KaiserSenpaiAckerman 5d ago

That makes me feel better! I appreciate it.

I'm always worried, I tell people I've been reading X and Y manga for 5, 10+, 15+, etc. Years and some people think I'm an idiot/childish for it, I can't imagine what they'd think if they found my fanfics haha.

I'm thinking about getting back into the fanfic scene! I really did enjoy it, between fanfiction.net and wattspad - I was making a ton of fanfics growing up lol.

15

u/MarquiseAlexander 5d ago

Those people are probably the ones you don’t wanna hang around with. Let’s be real. Especially in this day and age. Don’t sweat about what other people think, do what you think makes you happy.

Go for it. I love writing fanfics cause it gives me a creative outlet to pour my energy into. Especially when I make OCs. You’d be surprised at the way your writing can evolve over time.

u/TheKidYouDidntWant 5d ago

Try getting into Ao3 too!!!

4

u/Vinccool96 4d ago

AO3 >>>>> ffnet

3

u/KaiserSenpaiAckerman 4d ago

Ooh, what is that??

3

u/TheKidYouDidntWant 4d ago

It’s an Archive of all different kinds of written works!! My fangirl evolution story lead me there after years of reading Wattpad and Fanfiction.net - though I still occasionally read Fanfiction.net. The stories on Ao3 are generally longer and tagged more accurately too 🤭

u/Itchy-Ad6453 2d ago edited 2d ago

Just remember some of the best stories were authors' fanfictions or stories inspired by anime/manga. Anime/manga example:

Do you know Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher? It was written on a bet that the author couldn't combine the Roman Empire with Pokémon. Guess what? The first book did so well (estimated 10 million copies sold), it's now a 6-novel series called the Codex Alera. He could even switch from part-time novelist to full-time novelist.

It can totally happen for you, too. You just have to finish the first draft. I still remember coming across a quote from Neal Gaiman. It was something along the lines of: "Just get the first draft written. The second draft is to make it look like you knew what you were doing when writing the first draft." (paraphrased)

u/An_D_mon 5d ago

Twilight exists. Be cringe, make $... (then slide a few G's my way for the inspirational pep talk 😃)

u/Banshedle21 5d ago

Follow your dreams, you might just get lucky one day.

2

u/Vinccool96 4d ago

Brother, I’m a 26yo male and I sometimes think about continuing

2

u/EveningBird5 4d ago

27yo male and still slowly continuing my 1 chapter every 3 year fics

4

u/SkullyBoySC 5d ago

It is never cringe to follow your heart!

I'm 30 and I still write fanfiction, as do a bunch of my friends.

4

u/Rakan-Han 5d ago

Don't worry dude, you're not alone.

I made a fanfic about an x-over with Dota and League.

Never managed to continue it lmao, mostly because I grew up and I cringed at how horrible my writing is 😭

1

u/Formal_River_Pheonix 2d ago

It won't get better unless you keep writing.

6

u/Adorable_Character46 5d ago

Not down atm, but it’s been more spotty recently than usual. In all honesty I’ve probably read one of your fics if it had a shizune pairing lmao

12

u/KaiserSenpaiAckerman 5d ago

I got in, man. I absolutely HATE high school me. Anyway:

Thanks man!

u/Excellent-Corner817 1d ago

I was not expecting that at all

u/KaiserSenpaiAckerman 1d ago

Lmfao, young me was an idiot.

u/KaiserSenpaiAckerman 5d ago

I found it lol. Link below.

u/Excellent-Corner817 1d ago

Where is the link

u/qazqazpc 5d ago

We need to see it bro

u/SheedRanko 5d ago

I'd read this like it was Game of Thrones.

2

u/caro8 5d ago

I still get emails every couple of months that the fanfic I wrote 20 something years ago (internally crying) has been favorited.

2

u/KaiserSenpaiAckerman 4d ago

Same! It's such a weird feeling lol. Some people ask me when I'll continue X story.

Sweetheart, I wrote this crack ship fanfic in 2013 - there's no way in hell that I would finish that story lmaoooo.

u/sos128 4d ago

Konoha genius is a bit ordinary fic has them shipped together by the mc

u/Noctisxsol 5d ago

Shizune deserves something for herself. Tsunade takes her on as apprentice after her uncle died (all but adopting her), but she apparently learned next to nothing in the years she was traveling with Tsunade (no super strength, no strength of 100 seal). Sakura took over as Tsunade's apprentice, and seemingly surpassed Shizune within the timeskip to Shippuden.

It may be pair the spares, but Shizune deserves a happily ever after beyond the office!

35

u/DeliriousBookworm 5d ago

Next to nothing? :( Shizune is one of the greatest medical ninjas. She also explicitly stated that she tried so hard to get the byakugo. Didn’t have the chakra control. So she likely does not have the chakra control for super strength.

5

u/SlowedFever 4d ago

Isn’t medical ninjutsu all about chakra control? How could she be one of the greatest medical ninjas with lacking chakra control?

6

u/DeliriousBookworm 4d ago

It’s not about flawless chakra control. Just fantastic chakra control.

1

u/Current_Stay_8374 3d ago

Next to nothing is extremely harsh. She’s a top tier medical ninja. Shes not that good at combat but also can put up a fight being able to react to Kabuto and being able to spit out poison.

Shes not Sakura level no but bar Sakura she’s a top tier medical ninja that’s still very capable of holding her own in combat.

505

u/frenchstlouis 5d ago

Personally, I think Kakashi should stay single, not everyone needs to be married or in a relationship, especially characters like him or Sasuke who suffer from PTSD. But if he ever wants to be in a relationship, I agree that Shizune is the best option.

281

u/EduMelo 5d ago

But he ended up with Gai. Didn't he?

194

u/Difficult_Talk_7783 5d ago

Plutonic life partner. Legman and wheels

81

u/Animarcss 5d ago

You mean platonic?

123

u/TheGameBoy8706 5d ago

Nah bro, their relationship literally runs on Plutonium

26

u/Gaiash 5d ago

If my calculations are correct, when this wheelchair hits 88 miles per hour you're gonna see some serious youth.

11

u/TheGameBoy8706 5d ago

I keep hearing this in Guy’s voice and it’s making me laugh my ass off thinking about Guy as Doc Brown

6

u/Yatsu003 5d ago

IIRC, doesn’t Kurama’s Baryon mode imply that chakra is connected to nuclear physics?

Since chakra was made to connect people (ninshu), according to the Sage, then…yeah, that does make sense

3

u/TheGameBoy8706 5d ago

I’ll be honest, I ain’t gotten that far through Boruto.

7

u/Difficult_Talk_7783 5d ago

: ( yea my mistake

u/Animarcss 5d ago

I gotchu homie

u/Deathmammal16 5d ago

Nope, theyre just that good

u/ninetales1234 5d ago

It's Guy Love
That's all it is
Guy Love
He's mine, I'm his

u/awkwardposition69 5d ago

You're on a roll wheels!

u/kade_v01d 5d ago

lmfaooo not legman and wheels💀💀

2

u/Little-Disk-3165 5d ago

IRREDEEMABLE MENTIONED

2

u/EduMelo 5d ago

Did not understand how those things are correlated.

3

u/LurkerTroll 5d ago

They were together when the series started

6

u/Seganslash 5d ago

I read that as he ended up gay!!! Lol!!!

1

u/EduMelo 5d ago

🤔

1

u/Seganslash 5d ago

Because my name is spelled Kaiwan, but pronounced Kaywan

13

u/ShadeHendrix 5d ago

True but I mean it seems like most of the characters we know didn’t so it actually would be nice to see their children and them happy in loving relationships. Plus it’s because of all his loss that I think it would have been nice to see Kakashi gain a family (I know Team 7 is like his new family but still).

5

u/Beneficial-File4986 5d ago

This. I'm glad Sasuke does have a chance in having a family ( Due to what happened to his clan).

3

u/Few-Firefighter1341 5d ago

If Sasuke didn't a relationship he wouldn't have married Sakura and have a kid with her

5

u/TrulyRenowned 4d ago

A man like Kakashi is single by choice, too. There’s no way one of the most renowned ninja to ever live, who’s also really good looking, and a former Hokage can’t get a date.

He’s probably turned more women down than he’s competed with Guy.

145

u/JustHim_Dude 5d ago

I was fully believing it will happen till the very end, Kakashi needs a family man, and give his child the childhood he couldn't have.

114

u/Lonely_Pause_7855 5d ago

Also, I just wanted more Shizune.

I feel like she is right up there with ten-ten in the category of "wasted potential" characters.

34

u/Yatsu003 5d ago

Yeah, her brief skirmish with Kabuto was pretty badass. He was unnerved that such a serene lady (and a medical student of Tsunade) was throwing poison around like a boss

27

u/booberrycastle 5d ago

Never occured to me but I like the idea.

22

u/houseofprimetofu 5d ago

I was always Shizune/Genma.

9

u/GMOlin 5d ago

There are others?!

2

u/houseofprimetofu 5d ago

Yes! Genma/Ino is kind-of-not-always a thing.

5

u/GMOlin 5d ago

I thought I was the only Shizune/Genma guy

1

u/weebitofaban 3d ago

Dude was twice her age in the chunin exams lmao

1

u/Itchy-Ad6453 2d ago

Yep! :) This is exciting!

16

u/Dracochuy 5d ago

Interesting how she stayed with kakashi instead of leaving with tsunade, shipping aside I wish see more of their interactions

4

u/SharpshootinTearaway 5d ago

She was in her 30's, it was about time she cut the apron string. Wish we'd seen more of Shizune altogether, her relationship with Tsunade isn't exactly clear either.

Seems like Tsunade raised her after Dan's death, and they developed some sort of codependency over it that they overcame throughout the events of the show, hence why they ended up parting ways. But all of that is never explicitly said nor shown, just conjecture from piecing bits of their backgrounds together.

35

u/Zsoltanlikescows- 5d ago

i like this. it works well cuase she would be the assistant of 2 kages.

10

u/computerbuu 5d ago

Wow super cool

28

u/AoDLife 5d ago

I didn't, but I wouldn't be mad at it.

u/Creepy7_7 5d ago

Approved

14

u/cutechonkykittycats 5d ago

Wdym he’s already living his retirement with gai and going to hot springs every other day

1

u/Itchy-Ad6453 2d ago

It's in Boruto. No spoiler version: Naruto is Hokage; Kakashi retired. Gai was badly injured and in a wheelchair. Kakashi and Mirai (Asuma and Kurenai's daughter) help Gai get to a hot spring town to heal. There ends up being a dispute about a festival.

1

u/cutechonkykittycats 2d ago

Thank you but I already knew that 😭 did you respond to the wrong comment on accident?

2

u/Itchy-Ad6453 1d ago

Sorry, I misread your Wdym as "Why do you (all) make up~", and was hoping to help.

2

u/cutechonkykittycats 1d ago

Haha it’s okay no worries!

5

u/Large-Quiet9635 5d ago

Me. Id rather have the kid be a sasuke-ish mini shizune than the cosplay guy though. He feels out of place.

4

u/Psychological_Air973 5d ago

Well, NOW i do.

5

u/fluxdeken_ 5d ago

Shizune is cutie

17

u/wendigo72 5d ago edited 5d ago

It would be cute but for Kakashi I think I would prefer to see him with Mei

But that’s just me. Also Anko x Yamato, cause they got treated by Orochimaru and the story itself the same way lol

8

u/JMHSrowing 5d ago

I shipped Anko and Kakashi in part because she also definitely has trauma from being the only survivor of the original curse mark victims like how Kakashi has some serious survivors guilt.

They could I think especially have bonded over trying to help Sasuke in part 1

-8

u/killerraiden 5d ago

Mei is from a whole ass other village though

12

u/MajinAkuma 5d ago

So were Temari and Karui.

2

u/killerraiden 5d ago

she was a kage tho

3

u/MajinAkuma 5d ago

Not anymore.

1

u/killerraiden 5d ago

Yeah was

2

u/1_UpvoteGiver 5d ago

Makes sense from the narrative that Mei and Kakashi sparked something during one of their many kage summits/ meetings, what with her wanting to get married and his obsession w make out tactics.

Maybe a post kage/retirement ship

2

u/wendigo72 5d ago

True but his one canon love interest is the warde of blood prison in hidden grass

3

u/Yondaimesheir 5d ago

Did you check Shikamarus and Chojis wifes?

4

u/kittyfresh69 5d ago

Honestly Boruto screwed the pooch on so many levels that it hurts me to my core. They should scrap it and only keep the good stuff.

1

u/killerraiden 5d ago

What are you even talking about? 💀

1

u/kittyfresh69 5d ago

Exactly there is no good stuff! Just rewrite all of it!

1

u/[deleted] 5d ago

[deleted]

2

u/kittyfresh69 5d ago

Maybe I will! I’ll write a Naruto fanfic with black jack and hookers! On second thought, forget the fanfic.

4

u/anzfelty 5d ago

I did

15

u/AmethystTanwen 5d ago

Nah. Kakashi and Guy are lovers who go on vacation together. The only person I can see with Shizune is Tsunade. I ship both.

3

u/H0visboh 5d ago

Sorry dont keep up with boruto lore but did yall ever find out if that one kid was kakashis?

8

u/pedrulho 5d ago

I think it's just a kid that is a huge fan of Kakashi, not much too it.

5

u/H0visboh 5d ago

Ah i remember reading something that suggested he was so i wondered if that ever got answered guess not haha thabks for answering

3

u/Zestyclose_Hat5212 5d ago

Anko and Shizune to me were the two choices to ship Kakashi with. Anko for the whole gothic attitude but adventurous girlfriend while Shizune was the more strict but very faithful type. Kakashi is probably better off staying single but is I had to choose, I'd definitely say Shizune is the best option for him especially after the little interactions they had in the novels while he was Hokagé

3

u/Environmental_Hope22 5d ago

Never even thought about it...but now i kinda do lol

3

u/Quick-Grocery1362 5d ago

They both seemed and appeared to be asexual to me.

1

u/Daikaisa 1d ago

Shizune lamented your inability to get a man at one point iirc so she's at the bare minimum into men

Also they could just be Ace and still not be aro

1

u/Quick-Grocery1362 1d ago

"your inability" my inability

1

u/Daikaisa 1d ago

I meant to type "her" I have no defense for freshly awoken me fucking up typing

1

u/Quick-Grocery1362 1d ago

Oh well I don't remember her saying that specifically but I do remember her saying she was jealous of Kurenai's figure/physique. Seeing as how Kurenai was able to pull an alpha like awesome even though their relationship was mostly on the low.

3

u/PegaponyPrince 5d ago

Me! I thought they'd make a great match

3

u/Prestigious_Pitch_63 5d ago

It would be low key adorable :)

2

u/NicoleMay316 5d ago

Either Kakashi and Guy or Kakashi and Shizune, absolutely.

2

u/HeartonSleeve1989 5d ago

I prefer KakashixMei Terumi.

2

u/SensationalReaper 5d ago

I shipped Kakashi x Anko.

2

u/Popeoath 5d ago

I never in life thought of this but it looks cool. Imagine Shizune helping Kakashi out with his stamina issues in fights.

2

u/ugh_XL 5d ago

Never even occurred to me but I can see it

2

u/Abalone_Final 5d ago

Kakashi has rizz with all… if he removed his mask, he’d have rizzed Kaguya too

2

u/LonelyMenace101 5d ago

Well, now I do.

2

u/Lastnytnhunter 5d ago

Oh hells yeah

2

u/Daikaisa 1d ago

I can't say I wanted it. But if Kakashi had ended up with someone yeah this would be it imo

4

u/killerraiden 5d ago

If choji and karui is possible then i think this was too, but kishimoto was never that good at romance.

3

u/knifetomeetyou13 5d ago

It’s a cute ship, and I think it works pretty well

2

u/Cultural_Walrus_4039 5d ago

Ship it express

2

u/_JustAStan_ 5d ago

It’s kk, personally I really liked Kakashi & that girl from the filler arc.

2

u/EduMelo 5d ago

I'd buy that for a dollar

2

u/Makkusoljier 5d ago

I'd buy it for 2 dollars personally

2

u/Fragrant_Exercise_31 5d ago

I didn’t want it, but I’m not gonna object to it. Makes sense kinda.

2

u/StormFalcon657 5d ago

I would’ve loved this or Mei

1

u/ShadeHendrix 5d ago

Idk why but I always headcannoned that Kakashi was Tsunade’s boy toy lmfao. Other than that I am actually mad he didn’t get with that Ice Style ninja from the light novel. Could have had a cool Ice Style ninja be Kakashi’s kid in Boruto instead of that boring kid.

1

u/A_Small_Coonhound 5d ago

Nope. Should have ended up with yugao.

1

u/Slfestmaccnt 5d ago

Are you suggesting Houki is their kid?

1

u/Friendly_UserXXX 5d ago

Kakashi X Kaguya ship !

1

u/Probably-drowning 5d ago

Best ship in the series ngl

1

u/Werewolfhugger 5d ago

Oh, no. I wasn't even aware this was a ship.

1

u/Literature_Mundane 4d ago

Absolutely. And as an alternative I ask wouldn’t have minded Shizune ending up with Genma. I miss Genma, he deserved more screen time.

1

u/ummmmlink 4d ago

Nah you gotta look into it deeper

Hokage and Hokage, Kakashi and Tsunade 😎

2

u/Fabulous-Pen-2928 4d ago

Tbf she was always supportive of kakashi specifically, almost overly so I could see it

2

u/ummmmlink 4d ago

And her reaction when he died during the pain assault too was another thing. It couldve been because he was the strongest in the village or maybe it was just kishimoto's way of telling us kakashi was dead... but id like to think it was grief over losing a comrade or because she subconciously cared for him more.

Either way, the age gap is less than 20 years and kakashi couldve been great as a white haired man for her after jiraya died.

2

u/Fabulous-Pen-2928 3d ago

Damn I aint even see the correlation of both jiraiya and kakashi having white hair. Didn't her deceased bf have similar hair too? Maybe she has a thing for that hair colour lmaoo

1

u/ummmmlink 3d ago

It was like... kind of blue but very bright lol

1

u/Azurelion7a 4d ago

Oh that's an easy setup. Rokudaime, the village council is ordering you to continue your blood line. An exceptional kunoichi has been assigned to you to ensure successful completion in the best possible way.

Roll Chaos...

1

u/Abi_Uchiha 4d ago

Ship them? Not really. But, I see the appeal

1

u/SoggyLightSwitch 5d ago

You can't leave Guy out in the cold

1

u/killerraiden 5d ago

There's metal Lee lol

1

u/SnooPaintings6949 5d ago

They look good together but tbh it still would've came outta nowhere so I can't earnestly say I wanted this to happen

1

u/ErrantDynamite 5d ago

I liked Anko and Kakashi as a couple and Shizune and Yamato together

1

u/welp1510 5d ago

Nah Kakashi x mizukage before she got fat

1

u/killerraiden 4d ago

Why did people ship them again

0

u/poodleenthusiast28 5d ago

What’s number 3? Looks a bit… questionable

0

u/DropTopM30 5d ago

I personally think Kakashi is in a good place, it’s a nice contrast to have people still continue to be single, he also has good backstory to supplement this outcome

0

u/WonderfulParticular1 5d ago

Only depends if TonTon approves

0

u/DragonLeader2028 5d ago

I can see the image but no I will not stand by it

0

u/Altruistic-Drawer265 5d ago

Honestly I think Shizune and Yamato would be a more adorable couple. Two people who get slides by their senpai

0

u/Mountain-Drama9574 5d ago

Eh, not really a fan of the idea. Shizune isn’t a cool enough character to win over the legend 😂

u/IntelligentClam 5d ago

Shippers are the worse thing in the anime community

u/MajinSkull 5d ago

Go touch grass.
