Summary
“You’ve changed, Boss. You’re more careful on missions. Even with us, you never approach a battle the same way. You’re not reckless anymore. You hold back.”
“You’re saying I’m fighting like an old man now, eh?” Sakumo cocked an eyebrow.
“No—I’m saying you fight like a father. Remember, I was here when your parents were on the field. It’s the same with all you humans,” Pakkun harrumphed. “Akino will say the same. You all start reckless, with nothing held back; young, with the idea that you have nothing to lose.”
Sakumo’s gaze slid to where Kakashi was climbing Bull, to the joy plastered on the young Hatake’s face, and the enthusiastic, bright sparkling of the ninkens’ eyes as they watched.
“And now I have everything to lose,” he said softly.
[i.e. Sakumo takes Kakashi on a trip to the mountains and introduces the boy to the pack for the first time]

Summary
Umino Iruka regarded the man standing before his shop counter with what was probably poorly-veiled irritation.
"Yes, thank you," he said. "I know how a triple-layered chakra lock works."
Long years of experience kept Iruka's tone even: losing his temper meant losing customers, even if there weren't very many people in Konoha who did what he did.
* * *
The canon-divergent au in which Iruka graduates the academy, does 3 D-rank missions, and then retires, because his leg was badly crushed in the kyuubi attack—so he re-trains as a locksmith and makes chakra-manipulated locks.
A story about systemic structural power imbalances between shinobi and civilians and the various ways in which expectations of physical strength and implicit ableism are detrimental to community trust. In which Iruka finds himself stuck between worlds, all because Sharingan Kakashi demanded the impossible, and Iruka made him a quadruple-layered chakra lock.

Summary
The wolf he finds standing in the clearing is magnificent. All powerful legs, and muscular body covered in thick, slate grey fur. If his smell hadn’t made it apparent enough, his size definitely did - this was an Alpha. Iruka is cautious as he approaches, keeping his head low in submission, tail tentatively wagging in an invitation.This could go either way - either this wolf is in search of a mate, or he has intentionally lured in the pathetic omega who has dared intrude upon his territory.
