Summary
Kakashi was barely nine before his first assignment to a mission of an abhorrent kind. He never thought about these missions. He thought instead about all the death he had witnessed, and the absence of love in his life, and the damage he inflicted on the innocents around him. The work he was assigned to outside of his team didn’t affect him. He really only remembered these missions during his nightmares. Or during close contact. Or while teaching his students. But he didn't ever think of them.
Gai knows when something is off with Kakashi. He’d never let Kakashi know that he knows something is wrong, but he still lets Kakashi know that it doesn’t change the way he feels, in his own way. Eternal Rival means forever. It means through thick and thin. It means being there even when you are not wanted. A promise for forever should not be taken lightly.

Summary
(The works in this series can be read independently)
Truth was, life was boring. Kakashi couldn’t say his relationship with Gai had ended with a bang or a whimper or even ended at all. Hell, he wasn’t even sure it had ever properly started. Try as he might to fit this puzzle into an Icha Icha Romance narrative, all his mind could piece together was this: the story of a childhood friendship growing into something messy under their circumstances and then wasting away in their twenties, gradually crushed under the weight of their inadequacies.
Kakashi returns from the Land of the Waves, exhausted and triggered.
Meanwhile, Gai is satisfied with how his team is doing.
They both sign their kids up for the chuunin exams, and find themselves interacting again after months of awkward distance.
The events that unfurl take them, and their relationship, to an even rockier place.Kakagai-centric retelling of Naruto from after the Land of Waves to right before Shippuden.

Summary
Sasuke’s entire life revolves around a single night. An empty house, blood on the floor, his mother’s body, and Itachi’s voice echoing in his mind until hatred becomes the only thing keeping him upright.
Kakashi knows exactly where that path leads. He recognizes the emptiness, the constant silence, the poorly contained rage, and the precise moment when someone starts to sink.
He promised himself he wouldn’t get attached to anyone. After losing so much, he learned that keeping his distance was easier than carrying the weight of someone else disappearing through his fingers again.
And yet, the more he watches Sasuke, the harder it becomes to ignore the way the weight of the Uchiha clan seems to be destroying him from the inside out. What begins as simple concern slowly turns into something far more difficult to name: a constant presence, half-finished conversations, and a hand that always appears just before the fall.
And as Kakashi starts to take up a place in Sasuke’s life neither of them ever expected, the only truth Sasuke has built his entire existence on begins to crack.
Because if Itachi truly was a monster… why is it getting harder and harder to believe it?Bookmarked by OrigamiOwls

Summary
When a training exercise accidentally lands the freshly-minted Team Seven in the Land of Rain, the stakes of their little practice mission abruptly get a lot higher. Amegakure, paranoid as it is, isn’t all that thrilled to have S-rank foreign shinobi Kakashi of the Sharingan wandering into the country unannounced, after all.
Consequently, Kakashi is taken captive and marched off to Amegakure for interrogation and probably execution. Sakura, mistaken for a fugitive criminal, is taken captive along with him. Sasuke and Naruto are left behind, left to fend for themselves and forced to learn how to work together in order to rescue their teammates.
As they’re transported towards an unpleasant fate in Amegakure, Sakura and Kakashi will have to adapt quickly if they want any chance of escaping. Sakura will have to find her confidence as a shinobi, while she’s surrounded by people who don’t even believe she is one. And Kakashi will have to teach her how to do that, despite how unused he is to his role as a teacher.
The odds are against them in many ways. In spite of that, each member of Team Seven will fight tooth and nail to defend their brand-new teammates’ safety.
