there is no god

... I hereby renounce my faith in humanity.

... You remember the kid who wrote me? the one I thought was 12 old or younger -- maybe even, you know... ten?

She wrote back.

She's eighteen.

18.

18.

I am going to cry in my corner now.

god, that will teach me to be all nice and understanding.

unless she LIES... yes, that must be is. *goes on believing that she lied because it's better than the alternative*


edit: here's the mail. it was on top of my whole mail, not even cut out, and in bold royal blue. my eyes.

well i'm sorry too !!! your right sex isn't nasty i was stupid i'm 18 and well i watch anime too!!! sorry aboutt

I don't know if she was cut off or what, but that's all there is. Oh, what-the-fuck-EVER. I wash my hands of the whole matter. *delete delete*

sharingan-people timeline thing yay~

So I promised joosetta a Kakashi and Itachi during their ANBU days fic and I really want to write it right -- also, I really REALLY want a good idea of the timeline in general, which is why Sasuke was added on. SO.

According to narutofan.com, at the start of the series, kakashi is 27, Itachi 17 and Sasuke 12. We'll take these baselines -- so this means Kakashi is 10 years older than Itachi who is 5 years older than Sasuke, give or take a few months.

I don't know if my numbers are correct and I don't know where to find references, so if you know an age I'm missing or have an idea of the chapter in which I can find that info, please tell me.

-Kakashi is born- no Itachi yet- no sasuke yet
-Kakashi(6?)Genin- No Itachi yet- no Sasuke yet
-Kakashi(10)- Itachi is born- No Sasuke yet-
(...)

-Kakashi (13?) Jounin (Obito dies)- Itachi(3?)- No Sasuke yet-
-Kakashi(15)- Itachi(5)- Sasuke is born- YAY KYUUBI.
-Kakashi(18?)- Itachi(8) Sharingan? - Sasuke (3)
+?
-Kakashi(?)ANBU- Itachi(?) - Sasuke(?)-
(...)

-Kakashi(?)- Itachi(? but less than 13)Jounin-ANBU- Sasuke(?)-
(...)

-Kakashi(23)?- Itachi(13)Uchiha Massacre- Sasuke(8)-
(...)
-Kakashi(27)- Itachi(17)- Sasuke(12)- Beginning of the series
-Kakashi(28)- Itachi(18)- Sasuke(13 or almost)- TIMESKIP.


I need to know:

-How old was Itachi when he first activated his sharingan? when he became a genin? when he because a jounin? when he entered ANBU? If you don't have numbers -- well he was supposedly even younger than Kakashi when he did all that, so if it doesn't contradict canon I can extrapolate.

-How old was Kakashi when he became ANBU? presumably after Obito's death -- how old was he when his dad died? when Obito died? 13? so he'd have been 13 or 14 or later when he made ANBU. When did he stop? MYSTERY. So long as he's ANBU while Itachi is, no problem.


Random idea:If Sasuke was a few months old when Kyuubi attacked, and if I don't remember wrong about Itachi getting his sharingan at 6, Itachi might have developped his sharingan in response to the trauma of the Kyuubi attack. Interesting idea, to check and possibly explore. aw, no, he was apparently 8. damn.

Also, were there other conflicts in progress during these years? I seem to remember something regarding tension between the Hyuugas and a rival Kage, but I'm hazy on the details.


EDIT: Thanks everyone!! That was really informative. I now have several sources, all geekier than the previous one, huhuhuhu. *captures bunnies and cages them* <3<3<3<3
