Summary
Sent on a mission he feels wholly under qualified for, Umino Iruka is sent to investigate the sudden shortage in quality inksticks under the guise of a cultural exchange. With a potential succession crisis putting a vital village resource at risk, Iruka would be less stressed if his mission didn't involve weekly reports to the jonin who makes it his life mission to rile Iruka up. To make matters worse, instead of blending in as he hoped, he somehow managed to draw attention to himself as a traveling freelance photographer takes an interest on him his first night there.

Summary
“Tanuki of the Information Security Subdivision, reporting as ordered.”
He raised his head and the piercing red of the sharingan glared back at him, glowing through the shadow cast by the mask of its owner. Iruka clutched his uniform a little tighter and felt pathetic for it. Hound dropped his gaze and turned away from him.
“I’ll be going ahead,” he said to no one in particular.

Summary
Iruka Umino had a list of things she hated, and Hatake Kakashi was very much at the top.
Unfortunately for her, Kakashi had a list too—except hers was full of people she liked to flirt with until they developed symptoms of emotional distress.
Iruka was, regrettably, her favorite case study.

Summary
This is a retelling of Naruto’s journey, starting from his days as a troublemaking orphan to becoming the hero of the Hidden Leaf. With the ghosts of his parents subtly guiding him and bonds forming deeper than in canon, Naruto navigates the challenges of being a jinchūriki, a genin, and eventually, a legend. Explore a richer Team 7 dynamic, a slow-burn SasuNaru relationship, and underutilized characters getting their due. Themes of loneliness, resilience, and found family take center stage as Naruto strives to prove himself—not just to the village, but to himself. Canon-divergent but faithful to the heart of the original story.
or
A canon-divergent Naruto rewrite with deeper character bonds, ghostly parental guidance, and a slow-burn SasuNaru romance. Team 7 and everyone else gets the development they deserve with the relationships they deserve.

Naruto, gayer and sadder, written by me, a naruto fan since the womb bascially.

Summary
Kakashi and Iruka clash over their differing viewpoints on how shinobi should be treated, and it all comes to a head when the jounin senseis nominate their squads for the chuunin exams. Iruka is forced to confront his worries for his students, as well as his own self doubt, prompting him to make a decision that he thinks is for the best.
It’s possible to read this as a stand alone, but it might make more sense if you read the previous fics in the series first.

Summary
In his twenty-seven years, Iruka has learned many useful things: how to know when you're being cheated, what alleys not to use as shortcuts, and which shopkeepers wouldn't take your hand if you lifted their goods. He’s also learned that the world hates orphans, and luck favors the wealthy. Besieged by debts and having nowhere else to turn, Iruka enters a tournament where common folk can earn the chance to marry into a noble family. He didn't expect a one-night-stand with a noble to turn into something more, nor did he expect to do well in the tournament.
Now, an entirely different problem presents itself: Iruka doesn't want to marry Prince Kakashi; he wants to marry his noble-born lover, Sukea.

Summary
Ирука всегда считал, что все его неудачи на личном фронте связаны с неумением готовить. Какаши любовь казалась мифом — полусмешной выдумкой со страниц романов Жабьего Отшельника.

Summary
Iruka breaking the hanahaki curse the hard way should have been a walk in the park; he's not particularly fond of anyone besides Naruto and they've already fessed up to considering the other as family. But his childhood crush, the one he never-ever confessed to, on account of never-ever going to get their secret identity, comes to mind and he coughs up morning glories. Worse yet, Kakashi keeps wanting to help him out and he's too distracting.

Summary
Gai est parti, et Iruka s'est fait kidnappé.
Assis confortablement dans son fauteuil de Rokudaime, Kakashi surplombe le village caché de la feuille. Le même qui semble rire de lui alors qu'il se rend compte d'une chose : Rien n'a de sens si l'on n'est pas capable de garder près de soit les personnes que l'on aime.
Il est dit des cicatrices qu'elles sont les marques laissées après une guérison. La réalité est pourtant bien plus cruelle que ça, lorsqu'elles ne sont que le déguisements de plaies béantes vous rongeant de l'intérieur. Cette vérité cruelle, Kakashi l'a toujours connu. Iruka ne méritait pas de la connaître, et pourtant elles sont là.
Les marques le retenant dans les ténèbres.

Summary
Description updated!!
Iruka and Kakashi both haven't had a serious relationship before, but what happens when they try? Kakashi x Iruka slow burn, where the two try to figure out how to be in a serious, stable relationship and how to love another person (and themselves!). Will have some mature content along the way. Part one of a three-part series, with this first part running up to the beginning of Shippuden. The second part will cover most of Shippuden. Part 3 will be non-sequential drabbles, occurring after the Fourth War and prior to Boruto!
First few chapters are short, but subsequent chapters are longer! Join me for the ride! I'm trying to keep it pretty much canon compliant, but small divergences may occur here or there! A note on spelling convention - I know it's fairly common to use Jōnin or Chūnin, but it's easier for me to use Jounin and Chuunin. I do not own these characters and am not making a profit on this activity. I just really ship these two and want to write about it.
