↠ act I: type of fathers ↞

No one knows how Pain/Nagato came to have a child. He just walked into base one day with a child held close to his chest, and no one dared to question it. He comes off rather cold towards you, but it's something you become used to and something you realize is just part of who he is. For as busy as he is, he always has time to hear about your day and put you to bed, maybe reading you a bedtime story if you ask him. He's strict but only because he cares. He's loving, but not too doting. Pain wants you to be the best you can be, and supports whatever it is you want to do in life. The only one he really trusts you around is Konan.

Konan cannot find the right words to describe just the warm feeling she felt holding you in her arms for the first time. She is a very loving, sweet and compassionate mother. You see a side of her that only Nagato has ever seen. She smiles when she's with you, she feels more energized and determined with her missions knowing she has you to return to. She's a wonderful mother, and I can see her having had a lot of knowledge on parenting beforehand, whether for observation or reading. Every need of yours is taken care of in the span of a single finger snap. She's calm, patient, and understanding. She's a truly wonderful mother.

Tobi is a fun, carefree father who's parenting is sometimes questioning with just how lenient and relaxed he is towards you. In later years, Deidara may even joke -- though it leans to be more serious -- on how you parent him more than he parents you. You are like a saving grace to him. He is blessed to have you in his life and wants to insure you have a good childhood whilst being surrounded by a group of criminals. You'll be one of the few to know anything about his past, or to see him without his mask on a "regular" occurrence. It's a bit of a bumpy ride with Tobi as a father, but it's a fun one, so hold on to your seats ladies and gentlemen.

Family is everything to Itachi. You are everything to him. Though he never really saw himself with a child, considering his illness and the fate he has sealed himself with, he uses everything in his power to give you a somewhat happy, and normal life. The sad truth is, he probably will not live long enough to ever see you grow past a teenager. And he prepares you for that at an early age, whether it be with distancing or just explaining to you when you're old enough to understand. Even so, he's one of the better fathers. He tends to every one of your needs and gives endless love through the little things he does for you.

Kisame is another who falls into the "one of the better fathers" category. He's awkward and a little stiff when it comes to being a father, but there is no denying the love he feels for you, and it practically radiates off of him whenever he's near you, completely visible to everyone around him. He's a bit of a worrier; He worries about the little things such as whether he remembered to warm the bottle. And he worries about the big things such as whether his appearance scares you, or if his ties to the Akatsuki puts you in danger. But the two of you have each other, which is more than enough for Kisame. And he has the help of Itachi when he needs it, who admits to seeing a more affable change in his partner since your arrival.

I've read in a few places, whether on Twitter or Tumblr that Hidan would be a horrible father or cruel to his child since it was the last thing he wanted. I don't disagree, but I disagree. Certainly, having a child was not on Hidan's 'to-do list' and was certainly something that at the beginning, he was pissed about. But you are still his child, and in no way could he conflict harm or let alone bare the idea of seeing you upset. He has a soft look in his eyes when he looks at you that is so gentle and foreign of him that Kakuzu had to pinch himself once to determine if he was really witnessing this. He knows absolutely nothing about parenting and though his pride will prevent him from asking for help, he will need it. You will be a Jashinist. The only way he'd ever disown you, or even try to sacrifice you to Jashin, is if you were not a Jashinist; but growing up with your father, even if you are much more tame than him, you are still his blood. He does love you very much, though at times it will not always show. He'll always have your back no matter what. You're lucky you're the cutest little Jashinist he's ever seen.

Kakuzu lives by the notion as, "I'm not your friend, I'm your parent." Is very strict and takes no bullshit; always swift with punishment and does not like a bratty child. He won't hesitate to punish you if you just as much raise your voice at him in the slightest. But hey, you're his bratty child. Probably one of the better fathers of the group. He's not too doting but he's not too cold towards you either. He knows what he needs to do for your health, education, and happiness. You are the only person he'll actively spend money on, and though it may pain his hearts when he has to purchase something particularly expensive if it's for you, he will.

The other members were convinced Deidara was still a virgin considering he's still somewhat of a child himself. That was until he arrived at the base very sheepishly with you swaddled in blankets. Deidara is a good father. Like most members, knows nothing about parenting, but wants to be the best father he can be. He's fun, energetic, supportive, you keep him on his toes and he keeps you on yours. He's always making you some new toy out of clay, and when you're old enough, begins to teach you all about art and ninjutsu.

You are not the biological child of Sasori. I find it more believable that he found you abandoned. It could be questioned if it's in his nature to really care about coming across an abandoned baby in the bushes. But he couldn't deny that when he first saw you, something drew him to you; maybe he saw something of himself in your eyes. He, like Kakuzu, is strict. But he is much more willing to partake in silly games like dress-up or tea parties with you. Always expect a new puppet as a little gift outside your door. Will not opt to turn you into a puppet, unless it were your choice.

Zetsu is... an ok father. At times, he can be somewhat neglectful towards you; ironically, like if someone were to forget to water the plants one day. However, when he is around and is spending time with you, he's always wanting to hear about your day and always trying to find things to make up for his absences. He is constantly having to resist the urge to disappear underground when something becomes overwhelming. His two sides are constantly bickering with each other on being too soft or too hard on you. He is definitely a father who relies a little on the other members to help.

Orochimaru is a twisted man, and that can come into play with his parenting. He's a strict father and wants his child to be nothing but perfection, and he will do whatever he needs to do to make sure his child is perfect. He is still a caring father and will always consider your interests, and at times shows you some fatherly affection. In the beginning, you were just an experiment and something he created out of boredom. But as you grow older and older, he realizes that weird tug in his heart is actually his love for you.

You: On a general consumption, you are a strong kid, and you somewhat have to be when you're a child of an Akatsuki member. But you're still a child after all. In your baby or toddler years, strength is relative, and depending on your father/mother, there will be some unique traits.

Future notes:

- I will be referring to Pain/Nagato as Pain
- Orochimaru's scenarios take place after he's left the Akatsuki
