Summary
If you asked anyone in Konoha about the relationship between Umino Iruka and Hatake Kakashi, they would probably shudder. As far as anyone knows, they were born hating each other.
The truth is that their antagonism goes far back to their childhood and the strength of emotions between the pair has always been intense. This is the slow evolution of a relationship between two very different individuals over the years as those emotions take on a different intensity.

Summary
They say that if you pray to an inugami at midnight, it will grant whatever you ask for. But you have to be careful with your words, because ancient spirits always exact a heavy toll.
Iruka Umino found out too late. Between debts, disastrous relationships, and a chronic exhaustion weighing deep in his bones, all he could bring himself to do was beg a stone statue for a real, safe, and devoted love. Just drunken foolishness, he thought.
The problem is that on the other side, after centuries of silence and guilt, a millennial beast opened its eyes with a hungry smile and a single certainty in its mind: I found you.

Summary
After years of settling into a comfortable life as a sensei, Iruka is pulled back into the field for an S-rank he has no business being on, utilizing an ability he’s hardly ever trained, with the same mission captain who had overseen his final fuckup in the field years ago. A mission captain who doesn’t seem particularly happy to be working with him again.
Iruka probably wouldn’t be particularly happy about this, either, if he wasn’t focused on just trying to make it home alive.
