I Have Like. A Little Scrabble Of It Somewhere But I Wrote It In Like 2017/2018 So I Doubt It's Legible Lmao - Tumblr Posts

I recently bought the full collection of the "Scythe" series by Neal Shuterman because I was like "Oh yeah I used to be obsessed with that series but they only had the first few books at my local library" and upon rereading it. I'm reminded of how much merit the idea of a Scythe x Naruto crossover has. I would read the fuck out of that au. Especially with the Uchiha as Scythes? With *Itachi* as a Scythe? Pls.

The scene where the elder scythe tells the mc that the first requirement to be a Scythe is to not want to be one. Tell me that doesn't have Itachi written all over it.

Man. A fic that follows Itachi going from a child curious about human nature in a world so perfected. To an apprentice trying to grasp the concept of what makes a kill 'righteous' or 'evil' for himself as he trains behind probably either Danzo, Madara, or Orochimaru. Him becoming a full fledged scythe and trying his damndest to fit into a world he doesn't want to be in.

Not to mention his motivation could be to become one in order to assure Sasuke gets eternal immunity. Danzo recruiting him to be his student with the reminder that if he accepts. Itachi will never have to fear for his brother's safety again.

Just. There's so many overlaying themes. That would be so fun to see explored.
