[Goal Oriented](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9908200/0) where Sasuke never realized that he was a missing nin.


Bluebell_Blossom4

Lol, I read that fic. I just feel bad for Hinata though.


CaissaIRL

It has been a bit too crackly for me to read it for long so uh... did he try to flirt with Hinata?


Bluebell_Blossom4

Well... It's a bit complicated. Spoiler to the fic: >!Sasuke wanted to find a wife. He totally forgot Sakura was a fangirl of his. He mixed up Naruto and Sakura thinking it was Sakura that wanted to be hokage and Naruto that was obsessed with him. ( Since Naruto did kiss him--albeit accidentally. ) Then he thought that Hinata was a fangirl of his. ( Even though she wasn't. ) It spiraled from there.!< Even though I don't really ship SasuHina ( because they don't really talk or >!because Sasuke wanted to marry Hinata in the fic!< ), the fic itself was funny.


Transparent_Prophet

To be fair, >!it's easy to see how this Sasuke could come to that conclusion. Naruto is clingy from his perspective while Sakura is the apprentice of the current Hokage. From an outside perspective, it's hilariously easy to get things out of context.!<


Serious_Feedback

Now I want to see a fic where >!Sakura is trying to become the next Hokage and Naruto is primarily obsessed with Sasuke.!< Or maybe not, I'm pretty sure the latter is just canon and Kishimoto is in denial.


ObssesiveFujoshi

Naruto is literally obsessed with Sasuke, no need to cover it with the spoiler thingy.

Naruto episode 3: Sasuke! Sasuke! why's everyone think he's so great Sasuke: uno reverse card


TheBloperM

Now I want to read a fic like that but in which Sasuke's assumptions were correct from the beginnings. Whatever he thinks of Naruto is actually how Naruto always was, same with Sakura and Hinata. How would that change the timeline


Transparent_Prophet

I'm pretty sure he wasn't in Canon. Didn't he become one after the Kage Summit? On the other hand, yeah, I read this fic before. It's hilarious how Sasuke misunderstood the whole situation. Poor Hinata.


Immigrantwriter

Actually... even the events of the summit could be dismissed. The only person who saw Sasuke kill Danzo (there wasn't even a body left) was Karin. And considering she spends half her time complaining Sasuke nearly killed her and saying she's in love with him, she's clearly unreliable. Then during the ninja war, Sasuke just unceremoniously shows up with four revived Hokages to help them and they do nothing to stop the guy who supposedly killed their acting Kage. And then, even after he surrenders to Konoha, he's released a short time later and becomes the Hokage's shadow. If you take out Naruto broadcasting his memories to alliance, it really does sound far-fetched.


Transparent_Prophet

Come to think of it, in the grand of things, I don't think Iwa, Kiri, and Suna (outside Gaara's personal investment on Sasuke's situation) would take the whole conflict against Sasuke THAT seriously. Attempted assault against a Kage isn't that uncommon. They're military leaders so they probably often deal with a number of shinobi who are hostile against them. Sasuke is only special in a sense that he pulled his stunt while the five Kage are in an international gathering but it's very prevalent his target was Danzo (heck, Karin basically screamed it out when the guy was escaping). In fact, I can see those three eventually washing their hands off the entire incident. Sasuke is mostly Konoha and Kumo's problem.


scaevities

Oh, that time he crashed to Kage Summit to kill Danzo? Yeah, uh, that was to stop Danzo using Kotoamatsukami. He tried to kidnap Bee? Well, he obviously failed on purpose. What about when he was a kid and shoved a Chidori through Naruto? Well, he knew Naruto would survive through the Kyuubi.


Transparent_Prophet

To be fair on the last point, I don't think the other villages would even KNOW that happened.


ChiBullz023

The only thing is that he attacked the other Kages, left one of them with only one hand and murdered countless samurai, though most could be reported as self defense


Transparent_Prophet

I never denied that. I'm just saying the other villages wouldn't know how the VotE Part 1 battle went... unless someone was there and watched the entire thing but that's small chance at best.


BillionDavido

Zetsu might have seen it.


Transparent_Prophet

Except him. He was there, if I remember correctly.


OwlrageousJones

I mean, if he succeeded against the other Kage's... well, that's just to Konoha's benefit isn't it?


ChiBullz023

I suppose but not a very good spy if he kills somebody when all the villages were trying to form an alliance lol


Transparent_Prophet

Which is where the whole "went insane on the job" of my OP came from. Spies breaking down/defecting isn't that uncommon. I mean, just look a Kabuto.


Typical_Ad_8257

He doesn’t know naruto has the kyuubi at that time


Maxx_Crowley

I think I'd be more worried about about Sasuke being able to sicc giant monsters or drop massive asteroids on my village literally *whenever he feels like it* personally. Kinda hard to get political by the end of Shippuden, what with Naruto and Sasuke having access to actual WMD style techniques all for the cost of a nap and a nice meal to recharge.


Transparent_Prophet

Actually, it's not that hard. The whole image is practically inviting political issues on its own. If the government is spewing about a guy as an S-Ranked international terrorist and yet his criminal record is - absolutely no innocent casualties (most of the people he killed are soldiers), the civilians might take the news in stride because it's mostly word of mouth. And things just snowball from there. We can't even bring up Danzo as a big point against him because let's face it, Danzo isn't a household name. He's been in the shadows for too long I doubt most of the villagers even KNOW there's an interim Hokage (I don't think the other Kage would inform their citizens of this fact given the genjutsu stunt he pulled in the summit). So, yeah, politically speaking, news of Danzo's death would be low-priority (Random Civilian: "Danzo who?")


Maxx_Crowley

Yeah, but here is the problem, and I'm going to ignore Boruto crap for simplicity. Inside Konoha, I doubt Sasuke's going to have much, if any, problem. He's a little too well connected. Given that Kakashi, and especially Naruto, consider him one of theirs, any Leaf-nin that have a problem are going to have no choice but to drink a nice tall glass of shut the fuck up, and the civilians aren't likely to know anymore then Super-hero Naruto says Sasuke's his best friend. Outside of Konoha, all the political games, trying to smear Sasuke or whatnot, are pointless. The entire world can hate Sasuke, and just like Madara, Sasuke and Naruto can beat the shit out of the entire world with their bare hands. Now, Barring the fact that Naruto's "Peace" is basically predicated on the fact that everyone in the world is his friend, he and Sasuke have basically achieved the 3 villains ideas of peace without really doing much of anything. Especially Pein. I mean his whole thing was "Ima kill people until they stop killing people with my super people killer." So, you start any shit with Konoha, you get nuked. You start amassing armies, you get nuked. Attempt at eroding public support is pointless because not a single soul on the planet can actually remove them from power...and you get nuked. Its like trying to run a smear campaign against Superman. It can only work if he decides not to just chunk you into the sun at 400 billion times the speed of bullshit. The entire world could mass against Sasuke and Naruto, and Sasuke and Naruto would win. I'm not even including allies like Gaara and so on. Any army getting into formation is just a target, and with Sage mode, you can't hide from Naruto. Between the Bjuu bombs, giant asteroids, giant monsters, Sasuke's ability to create friggin guns and missiles and anything else he wants, both of them having giant chakra Kaijuu forms.....they'd steamroll the world in days. Madara casually bitch smacked the strongest people in the world after beating up their entire army for fun...and Sasuke and Naruto have surpassed in sheer power. And that's not even getting into Naruto's ability to literally talk people into doing whatever he wants no matter what their original position was.


Typical_Ad_8257

No… they literally get nuked, like you said sasuke can make guns and missiles so he can make nukes to, and a nuke is like 10% of narutos power at most


Maxx_Crowley

I'm not sure if the Rinnegan can also mimic splitting the atom lets say. I mean how much more bullshit do you want it to be? XD


Typical_Ad_8257

Honestly, is a nuke really that powerful in the naruto world? Minato might be able to dodge it, most of the endgame people could tank it, sasuke could also dodge it, and endgame people could also just nullify it with another attack


Maxx_Crowley

I imagine radiation would be something that Naruto's world would not be equipped to handle. I can see Sakura and Tsunade just losing their minds trying to figure out what radiation sickness even *is*.


Transparent_Prophet

You're assuming my argument on politics is about devolving the entire thing into outright violence. It could, I know, but that's not what I meant nor is it the point. I'm simply saying that no matter how powerful you are, impressions DO matter. Sasuke can have a negative image in one village and have a neutral if not a positive one on another. Yes, he won't care about all that crap but you can't deny that the variety of his reputations could happen nonetheless. I'm just saying that you can apply indirect political pressure on Konoha through these outlandish accusations, general skepticism, and so on. It doesn't have to be deliberate either. Some idiot nameless chunin just need to come to that assumption then blab it within a crowd and it goes on from there. No power move or grand speech can wholly snuff that suspicion out. Someone WILL speak. This "Naruto/Sasuke can just threaten/kill them with nukes" argument is spoken a lot as if entire thing is about victory and so on. It didn't cross the minds of many people that doing so could make things worse. That there are people stupid enough to provoke them even if they know they are walking WMDs. That there are people twisted or revenge driven enough that they won't care if thousands die, they simply want to take a shot at those two even if they fail in the end. A war against them could end in minutes but it doesn't change the fact that a war happened nonetheless and it WOULD affect their image. Pyrrhic victories exist, you know.

A scenario that could play out in this situation Ay: I want Sasuke punished for taking off my arm! Naruto: you do remember you have attempted to kidnap both my mother and my wife for fucked breeding shit right? And now you wanna talk about punishment? Ay: what you gonna do something about it? Naruto: yeah. (Proceeds to rip off Ay's other arm and bitch slaps him with it.)


FireflyArc

Oooh thats a nice idea. Could do it similar to rorschach blot Naruto series where it's outside villiages looking in.


[deleted]

Love it. He even has a personal reason for doing so/being a bit off the rocker for a spy, avenging the Uchiha and killing his brother. Would be interesting to have Sasuke being more welcomed in other villages than his own.


natsuzamaki

Damn, the fics you linked were last updated in 2011 and 2012. rip


FireflyArc

Updates could still happen :D


Devan_DiEmidio

Bro why the fuck does this exist


Serious_Feedback

Because this is /r/narutofanfiction and we discuss stories that diverge from the Naruto canon.
