Thief AU

.


Here, Sakumo and Kakashi are twins that are caught between Minato's generation and Kakashi's original generation. Here, when Naruto's generation is born they are teenagers just shy of turning twenty. Here, when they earn epithets in the Bingo Book, they are Inugami and Raijin for Sakumo's use of summons and Kakashi's preference for lightning jutsu. Here, they are still Hatake but it is a surname that they chose upon entering the Academy as is traditional for orphans to do - at least those whom wish for a proper surname.

Here, Sakumo is only twenty-something minutes older then Kakashi rather then years.

It wasn't, technically, a family tradition - stealing, that is.

But, before Kakashi, Sakumo had been infamous in Hi no Kuni for somehow managing to sneak into Konohagakure - the ninja village - and steal the Hokage's hat. Of course, after that incident, his father decided that his time was best spent outside of Hi no Kuni with it's swarms of Konoha-nin whom were righteously indignant over some 'common criminal' stealing from their Kage.

Just as well, though, since Sakumo met Kakashi's mother in Kaminari no Kuni.

Still, stealing wasn't a family tradition - particularly not stealing from ninja - but it was, Kakashi found out at a young age, very fun. He knew the risks but by the time he turned thirteen, Kakashi had deemed himself experienced enough to try stealing from Konohagakure - as his father had. It hadn't been inconceivable that he would get caught, not when Kakashi wasn't as skilled as his father had been at the time he attempted such a thing, but it was a bit...irksome to know that he'd been caught because he looked so similar to his father that it raised suspicions.

What was inconceivable, though, was that the Hokage - a different one then the one Sakumo had stolen the hat (which had a place of honor in the sitting room) from, this one a blond - apparently decided that Kakashi should work for him.

Though, it wasn't like he was going to say no - not when he wasn't sure if he'd be killed once he was no longer useful.
