Summary
The first time Hashirama sees the Hiraishin in action, he hardly knows what it means, let alone what it is. Tobirama tries to explain, but all Hashirama knows is that his brother is there one moment and gone the next, more elusive than the smell of petrichor during Fire Country's summer season. Still, Hashirama is nothing but resilient like the trees he so easily bends to his will, and there is something important in the little kunai and its seal.
Or, a snapshot of Hashirama and Tobirama's relationship through the creation and founding of Konohagakure told by the Hiraishin.

Summary
Not all jōnin become Sensei. Some just don't have the talent for it — the knack for soothing burning palms and flying tempers, of riding almost half a decade of teenage hormones if they're lucky, of breaking off pieces of their hearts only to hand them over, still bleeding, to grubby-handed genin — and those jōnin tease the good ones, the ones who do have the talent: Babysitting, Kakashi? Teaching the Youths, Guy? Finally stuck back in Konoha, Asuma? Enjoying the grading, Kurenai? And yeah, they all laugh along with them or bare their teeth under their mask or blow their smoke a little harder, a little meaner, but they know what they are, what being a Sensei really means.
Or, a series of snapshots showing off little moments between a Sensei and their team

Summary
The crux of the matter is that Kakashi’s old. By the time he finally gives up the hat, he’s nearly forty and growing older, and while he’s faced death too many times to still remember to fear it, he certainly thinks about it. He can’t help it. He blames the Nidaime — staring at Senju Tobirama’s reanimated face reminds Kakashi of everything that will die with him: his clan, their history, an entire generation. The realization leaves him unsettled, and as his body starts to ache more and more, he finds himself wishing for a world in which he isn’t so alone.
Or, Kakashi returns to the Hatake compound in an attempt to speak with his ancestors and promptly forgets that the Hiraishin is, above all else, an experimental time/space jutsu. By activating it, he finds himself in a world not quite like his own.
