Okay, so Sasuke never intended to travel back in time. It just sort of happened. Accidentally. And in the process of reorienting himself, he kinda-sorta came across Naruto, who'd been left behind by the rest of Team Seven after the bell test concluded to get out of the ropes all by himself. When he hadn't actually learned how to escape ropes at the Academy. Teaching him how to do so probably wouldn't trigger any major changes, right?Well, he could try his darndest to avoid meddling any further... but that just feels wrong. He could make like Naruto and tell everyone the honest, unvarnished truth... but given that the Sandaime is still in charge, and Danzo's still kicking around, that hardly seems like the best option either. He could pull a Sakura and start punching everything he doesn't like... tempting, but he finds himself drawn toward their teacher's preferred methodology.So begins The Kakashi Way, an Naruto work wherein Sasuke, now calling himself "Indra", deals with his unintentional Peggy Sue plot by setting himself up as a Trickster Mentor, aiming to nudge others in the right direction while observing the fallout from a distance... and trolling the heck out of everyone along the way. Though of course, he's not afraid to sprinkle in Sakura-style servings of cathartic justice, starting with old Danzo...

Sure, Let's Go with That: "Indra" rolls with Sasuke's presumption that he's an Uchiha who was outside of Konoha at the time of the Massacre, mentally noting that he's technically not entirely wrong.

Poor Communication Kills
 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Danzo counted upon this when he canceled Sasuke's mandatory mind-healing sessions after the Uchiha Massacre, anticipating that nobody would catch on until it was far too late to address the matter, with his name censored on the official records. While Hiruzen has access to a jutsu that can uncensor the original file, he only checks it after Inoichi storms in demanding to know why he allowed Sasuke to go untreated in the first place. Thanks to Kakashi's petty prank causing Ebisu to show up late to Team Seven's meeting spot, he mistakenly believed that the genin were ditching said meetups instead of giving up when he failed to show up on time. As a direct result of this, Indra is able to position himself as the kids' substitute jounin instructor himself, with nobody realizing that they've been meeting up with a complete stranger until a full week has gone by.

 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_1f250372
comment
I Need a Freaking Drink: Hiruzen takes a long drag of his pipe before he informs Kakashi that Sasuke in the hospital being treated for shock and starting mandatory mind-healing sessions. He also tends to light up during conversations about the revelations regarding Danzo. After getting to review Danzo's private files for a few hours, Jiraiya finds himself wanting a drink. Or ten. Or the whole damned bar. Inoichi gets a turn at this after Kakashi's Missing Time incident, much to Shikaku's amusement. When he tracks down Tsunade, she immediately drains the rest of the bottle she was drinking. He then offers her his own Toad Sage sake, declaring that she'll need the "peace offering" in order to cope with what he's about to tell her.

comment
Adaptational Villainy: Over the course of the story, Danzo is revealed to have had a hand in many, many terrible events, far beyond the ones he is canonically known to have been involved with. This includes having played a role in the Kannabi bridge incident and the shunning and isolation that led to Sakumo's suicide, the latter coming after failing to eliminate him via suicide mission. He also set up the demise of Nawaki and Dan Kubo, Tsunade's little brother and love interest.

The Farmer and the Viper: While Hiruzen knew that Danzo was ambitious, and that he had a lot of strong feelings about "how Konoha should be run", he still offered him the benefit of the doubt despite the concerns of others. Naturally, this did nothing to curtail those ambitions, resulting in his old friend being free to do a lot of damage before the future Sasuke stepped in.

Plot Parallel
 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_685d06d
comment
Plot Parallel: Hiruzen's relationship with Danzo darkly reflects Naruto's connection with Sasuke. Despite some initial distrust, Naruto latches onto him HARD, both as his teammate in the original timeline and as his newfound adoptive big brother Indra. He stubbornly hangs onto this faith even when it gets challenged, much like Hiruzen insisted upon believing the best in Danzo despite all evidence that his rival wasn't trustworthy. But while Naruto's trust ultimately pays off, Hiruzen's proves to have been tragically misplaced.

Super Breeding Program
 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_7041e520
comment
Super Breeding Program: Referenced; in the past, Uchiha and Hyuuga attempted to have children together in hopes that the kids would inherit traits of both of their respective "special eyes". Unfortunately, anyone who did wind up with both tended to die from the sheer amount of chakra their bodies required; the drain even claimed the lives of several mothers before the kids were even born.

Armor-Piercing Question
 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_7b6e47a5
comment
Armor-Piercing Question: Indra gets Naruto to reconsider his knee-jerk rejection of D-Rank missions by asking him two in rapid succession: Followed shortly by "Would you want to send Sakura up against a whole group of missing-nin?", further driving home the importance of getting stronger and learning how to work with his teammates before facing such threats. When Sakura tells Indra that she wants to be stronger, he presses her with "Why?" until she admits her deeper motivations. Upon seeing Sasuke for the first time in several days, Naruto asks him what's wrong. When Sasuke denies that anything's bothering him, the blond asks "Then why are you crying?", causing him to realize he was shedding tears without realizing it. While reviewing the Kannabi bridge incident with Kakashi, Inoichi asks him "Why do you sound as if you regret that he saved you?" Kakashi swears internally and refuses to answer. During an argument with Kurama wherein the Kyuubi demands that he not use his name, Naruto catches him completely off guard by asking what he should call him instead. Kurama is taken aback by Naruto's willingness to respect his wishes despite not understanding why he doesn't want to be addressed in that way. Indra/Sasuke hits Hiruzen with three in a row in Chapter 15: During Tsunade's argument with Hiruzen, she's thrown off balance by his remarking that he's so desperate for a solution that he's asking somebody whom he knows hates the village for advice:

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_7d89315b
comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In Chapter 14, Indra passes his training schedules for Team Seven over to Kakashi and bluntly takes him to task for how poorly he'd been handling them on his own. Chapter 15 has Indra/Sasuke confronting Hiruzen over how he knew just what kind of man Danzo was — enough that he was determined to keep the power of the Hokage out of his hands — and yet effectively allowed him to "rule from the shadows" anyway by refusing to deal with him directly. Tsunade also calls Hiruzen out upon her return; however, Hiruzen stands his ground and calls her out in turn for believing that she can simply sweep into Konoha and kill Danzo as if she's the only one he's hurt.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Played With — Kakashi's decision to Troll Ebisu by deliberately sabotaging his ability to meet up with Team Seven gives Indra ample room to step in and act as their substitute teacher instead. While this arguably works out quite well for Indra and the genin, it also causes a LOT of panic when Kakashi finally learns that his students have been meeting up with a complete stranger for a full week. More seriously, Indra trolling Kurama by casually revealing the Rinnegan and his knowledge of the Fox's name enrages Kurama enough that he tries breaking out of the seal then and there.

Open Secret: Discussed after Naruto's teammates learn about his status as the Kyuubi's jinchuuriki, as Sasuke swiftly realizes that this was the real reason the blond was mistreated. This spurs both him and Sakura to question Hiruzen's logic, pointing out that the supposed secrecy doesn't appear to have actually protected Naruto at all. Not from threats inside Konoha, anyway.

Fatal Flaw
 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_aba8065b
comment
Fatal Flaw: For Hiruzen, it all boils down to denial. Not only did he not want to face the notion that Danzo posed a serious threat to Konoha, he also hoped to find another successor after Minato's passing, and didn't want to acknowledge that his second term as Hokage was stretching out far longer than he liked. Dealing with Danzo meant admitting he was locked in for the long haul, and he outright refused to do so, to his eventual regret.

Armor-Piercing Response: After learning about Indra, Hiruzen lectures Naruto, but is struck silent by his reply: When Indra takes Kakashi to task for how poorly he'd handled Team Seven's training the first go-round, he finishes by declaring "This is your legacy, Hatake, whether you want it to be or not. Your choice what to do with it." Kakashi finds himself unable to respond to that.

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: After learning that Hiruzen lost his wife Biwako during the Kyuubi's rampage, Sasuke/Indra muses to himself that the old Sandaime was effectively forced to retake a job he didn't want without the support network people like Biwako and Minato had provided in the past. While he appreciates the perspective this adds, he also believes this in no way excuses how he allowed Danzo to go largely unchecked.

There Is Another: Played With; "Indra" invokes this in order to explain his existence to Team Seven without revealing the truth about himself. Sasuke is utterly flummoxed, then furious at the notion that the Sandaime and others kept him Locked Out of the Loop regarding Indra, unaware that they don't know about the other Uchiha.

Internal Reveal
 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_c5ccf60f
comment
Internal Reveal: Sasuke's first major move upon resolving to change the future for the better is to disarm Danzo, divest him of his stolen Sharingan, and drop him off at the hospital before leaving the arm on Sasuke's doorstep, ensuring that the theft and deception he engaged in is swiftly revealed and leading to further investigation. In Chapter 4, Inoichi informs Kakashi that they discovered Danzo set up the Kannabi Bridge incident to deliberately sabotage Minato. Chapter 5 has Sasuke meet Indra, learning that There Is Another Uchiha aside from Itachi and himself, with Sakura taking Naruto aside to explain to him about the Uchiha Massacre. Indra also, with Naruto's blessing, informs his teammates of how he was sabotaged at the Academy. In Chapter 9, Kakashi finally learns the unexpected consequences of the prank he pulled on Ebisu. Chapter 10 features Jiraiya getting Tsunade caught up on recent revelations. Indra also reveals that he has the Rinnegan to Naruto, and casually refers to the Kyuubi by their true name, which results in Naruto meeting Kurama for the first time, along with Naruto deciding to tell his teammates about the Fox. Chapter 11 has Hiruzen help bring the rest of Team Seven up to speed about the jinchuuriki situation, explaining his reasoning for why he handled it the way that he did. Near the end, Sakura proceeds to realize just who Naruto's father is.

Cassandra Truth: Alluded to; Sasuke muses that while telling everyone the truth about his original timeline would likely provoke plenty of amusing reactions, he doesn't trust that everybody would listen... especially when Hiruzen still considers Danzo to be a friend. Naturally comes up once Indra is interrogated, as he simply tells the truth. To be fair, having photographic evidence of the future helps.

 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_d397657d
comment
Hoist by His Own Petard: Danzo's meddling dramatically shaped Sasuke's psyche, denying him the psychological support he needed to cope with the Uchiha Massacre and setting the original Sasuke down a path that eventually led to him becoming an incredibly powerful shinobi... who then manages to pull a Peggy Sue by accident, coming back in time and promptly kicking Danzo's head in and exposing his treachery. Danzo also kept extensive private records chronicling all of his schemes. As Hiruzen notes shortly after they're uncovered, it appears that his old friend's paranoia about having his plots uncovered was ultimately overshadowed by his overconfidence that nobody would ever catch on or discover said personal records.

Contrived Coincidence: Discussed when Hiruzen speaks to Indra for the first time. The Sandaime suggests that it's strangely convenient for him to have evidence of his true identity, asking him if he makes a habit of carrying around things that would utterly destroy him during any undercover missions. Indra just snorts and declares the only worse choices for any kind of undercover missions would be his teammates.

A Taste of Their Own Medicine
 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_defd0c58
comment
A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Part of the reason that Sasuke decides to employ "the Kakashi way" for dealing with his temporal displacement is that he rather likes the idea of paying back his teacher for how he trolled Team Seven so often while teaching them. He even blithely admits as much when confronted over how Kakashi wound up under suspicion for the attack on Danzo, calling it 'a happy accident' and claiming he finally understood why he trolled them so much in the first place. Hiruzen also considers giving Indra a taste of his own medicine by making him his successor, knowing he can't actually do so but musing that 'It was almost worth the joke just to troll the guy back'.

 The Kakashi Way (Fanfic) / int_e83f211c

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Jiraiya immediately realizes that something's seriously bothering Hiruzen when he barely reacts to him popping up unexpectedly. In order to impress upon Tsunade just how serious he is when he tracks her down to deliver the news about who was responsible for Nawaki and Dan's deaths, Jiraiya very pointedly holds eye contact with her, without sparing so much as a glance down to her chest. Team Seven is thrown for a loop when Kakashi not only shows up to their meeting spot on time, but tells them to meet him at Training Ground Three in five minutes... and is actually there when they arrive.

Played With — Kakashi's decision to Troll Ebisu by deliberately sabotaging his ability to meet up with Team Seven gives Indra ample room to step in and act as their substitute teacher instead. While this arguably works out quite well for Indra and the genin, it also causes a LOT of panic when Kakashi finally learns that his students have been meeting up with a complete stranger for a full week.

Exact Words: Indra!Sasuke exploits this heavily when meeting his younger self for the first time, explaining that the reason he left him by himself for so long was because he only got back to Konoha a few days ago, while his younger counterpart was still in the hospital. He also tells him that he used to be just like him. Kakashi attempts to set this up when informed that he needs to promise that he won't act against Danzo or anyone else in his family. Inoichi states that he's taking note of the loopholes Kakashi is leaving for himself in his wording, but wants to trust him not to act upon those. Kakashi also used this against Ebisu. As he eventually explains, he stated that he meets Team Seven at 10AM on the bridge. What he left out was that he usually tells them to meet him there around 7 or 8AM.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Deconstructed: One of the main reasons Hiruzen turned a blind eye towards Danzo's scheming for so long was that he firmly believed his old friend fell into this category, and that for all his flaws, he truly cared about Konohagakure above all else. This proves to have been an utterly awful idea that makes the Sandaime partially responsible for all the pain and suffering Danzo caused.
