    Summary

    “Naruto is a person with a name,” Iruka snapped, already way past the limit of his patience for the day. Funny, how he could spend all day with small children, but a single council meeting wore him down to the bone. “Use it.”
    “Hmm.”
    For a long second, Iruka thought that he was about to die. And then Hatake’s eye curled in a friendly crinkle, an approximation of a smile.
    “You’ll do,” Hatake said.

    Summary

    That’s a fucking kid, is the first thing that Iruka thinks.

    That’s the fucking jinchuriki, is the second.

    The first thought comes back, even stronger, overwhelming him with outrage, with fury, with a sick sort of disgust, and now it comes out as a shouted,

    “That’s a fucking kid.”

    Summary

    “Naruto’s a strong kid,” Kakashi says, who has sauntered up to them in the meantime. “He’ll be fine.”

    Iruka smiles sadly. “I hope so. Thank you for helping us." He says and bows as deeply as he can manage with Naruto clinging to him – which isn’t very deep. “If you hadn’t been there…” He pauses, the imagery of what could have happened too violent in his mind. and he shakes his head to get rid of it.

    “Please,” he says. “Can I do anything to repay you?”

    “Maa, sensei,” Kakashi says, sticking his hands in his pockets. “I didn’t do it to get anything in return.”

    “I know that, Jounin-san, but I want to,” Iruka says, and blurts the first thing that pops up in his mind, “how about dinner?”

    .
    .

    A fight late at night sparks an unlikely friendship between two unlikely people. Naruto is just along for the ride.

    Summary

    Shikamaru ran into a small blond boy wearing a mask accidentally while trying to find a quiet spot to take a nap.

    Shunned for all of his life, the boy holds onto the most feared within him and because of it, a curse was placed on him. Majority of the people in Konoha prays that he will activate it and begone from this world.

    Uncharacteristically, Shikamaru took interest.
