Thanks to my team helping me. A special thank you to Nick for helping me edit all of this.
No warnings that I can think of apart from maybe referring to the Uchiha massacre in passing as "ghosts".
But now we have Iruka in the fanfic! A Naruto fanfic isn't a Naruto fanfic without Naruto and Iruka bonding!
Naruto wasn't exactly having the time of his life. Sasuke had set 'rules' for helping him, like feeding times or learning how to cook. Again.
Naruto had to be at Sasuke's place half an hour early to make him breakfast, lunch and dinner to beat Sasuke from making anything himself. Why Sasuke was so determined to make his own food he didn't know but Naruto didn't actually know how to cook. He somewhat was guessing what everything should look or taste like. It basically boiled down to does it taste like ramen if so eat it, if not try again. According to Sasuke that didn't qualify as cooking.
Sasuke's house was very nice. Everything looked well lived in. Naruto would have had loved to rent out a place like it, well maybe minus the new charcoal stains around the place considering Sasuke's wall had a black patch on it now and a dead plant. He was sorry about the plant.
That wasn't fun when he first made stains. Sasuke freaked out and ranted about his uncle's kitchen for a good hour but Naruto got through it. Sasuke still looked at it when Sasuke wanted to sort through his aunt's office. All Naruto wanted to do was look through everyone just once.
Naruto thought that helping out your teammates like this was meant to be fun, like one of those sleepovers that he heard about where a bunch of people stay at your place and have fun like on TV. He should have had known that having Sasuke around meant that all fun was destroyed.
Naruto didn't even sleep over at the bastard's place. He just went there a few times a day to do chores and pretend that the bastard wasn't watching his every move. It got to the point where instead of Naruto making food for him they were just eating at Ichiraku's, well at least for lunch and that was pretty great, though for dinner he still had to try to make something that usually had to be turned into breakfast the next day.
Sasuke had claimed that it was "if we're going to be eating ramen every day until I get better because you can't cook for your life, then I want good ramen. You'll be paying for the meal since you're the reason we're in this mess."
Naruto tried to protest but after seeing Sasuke having to take pills along with his meals he couldn't complain. After all his injuries wasn't as bad as Sasuke's injuries, his injuries were practically healed by now and it was only by the faint pain and the yellow bruising on his face that you could tell that he had been punched.
After he went to Sasuke's place for the morning he met with Kakashi in the market place, his teacher was wondering around bookstores while Naruto had been going to see if there was any shops he could get glitter from. Kakashi even looked amused when he asked where he was going and he had also questioned how Sasuke was doing. Naruto vaguely remembered saying that he was being a bastard but it could have had been something else, he was too eager to get to the shops.
He managed to find a place that sold him multicoloured glitter when he had to get groceries for dinner, the shop owner gave him an odd look but it was worth it since he said it was for his little sister, clones were very useful.
If he did it right then he'll be giving Sasuke a glitter bomb for being a stuck up ass. Maybe he could look in the library and see if he could make a seal version of a glitter bomb. That would be awesome!
Luckily for him it was the last day of having to help him. He could hide the glitter bomb anywhere if he finds the right scroll to teach him how to make a seal glitter bomb or find a storage seal and tweak it a bit, he'd sent a couple shadow clones to the library just to try and find a scroll that could teach him how to do the seal. He hoped they come back with a copy of the scroll soon, it was going to be lunch soon and he wanted to find the perfect place to set the bomb up.
Maybe it was a little underhanded of him to use his access to Sasuke's place like this but the bastard needed a bit of fun in his life and what was more fun than a prank?
Naruto whistled while walking down the street. He was headed to Ichiraku's to pick up lunch, and maybe have a few bowls before going to Sasuke's. There were a few people at Ichiraku's already, it was just before the lunch rush and while Naruto wouldn't usually go to lunch during the lunch rush Sasuke had his rules. Spotting a familiar head Naruto grinned to himself.
"Iruka-sensei!" It was the only warning he gave the man before he jumped on his back causing the man to choke on his ramen. Turning around Iruka spotted him and choked a reply. Naruto winced a bit before releasing the man, patting his back a few times. He did give his favourite teacher some warning.
"Naruto-kun!" Iruka wheezed, "I didn't know that you were coming today." Naruto grinned in response and sat in the seat beside Iruka.
"I'm just here for lunch," Iruka smiled at Naruto, "Hey old man! I'd like two bowls of Miso with extra pork, one chicken with extra boiled egg and one beef with extra beef! The last two in take away!"
"Naruto! At least get a vegetarian bowl!" scolded Iruka, starting eat his ramen. A ninja a seat over snorted into his ramen, his friend elbowed him laughing slightly. Naruto pouted before relenting.
"Okay, make that a vegetarian bowl as well but with extra boiled egg and Iruka-sensei is paying for it!" Iruka sighed before allowing it.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm paying for it but only that bowl. No more than that." Naruto pouted again but let Iruka's hand ruffle his hair, it's been a while since Iruka had ruffled his hair.
"So what have you been doing?" asked Iruka. It was nice. He hadn't really been asked that before, well Iruka had but that was the day after public holidays and the few three day holidays or week long holidays that the village had. It was like, like a month by now. It really was a long time without Iruka.
"I've been having to look after the bastard-"
"Language!"
"-since he hurt his hand."
"First bowl, miso with extra pork!" shouted Teuchi before sliding the first bowl to Naruto. He very promptly broke his chopsticks before getting into the taste of heaven.
"Thanks for the meal!" Iruka liked it when Naruto did small things like saying thanks for the meal or telling him when he was leaving for a mission.
"Is he alright?"
Naruto made muffled sounds as he tried to talk while eating. Iruka laughed at him lightly before scolding him again. He finished his first bowl before trying to speak again so Iruka didn't scold him.
"Yeah the bas-er, Sasuke-kun is doing just fine. He's just pissy that he can't train. Kakashi-sensei is making me help him out, it's really boring. All he does it watch me do chores to make sure that I'm doing them and making me cook things for dinner. He yelled at me for setting off his smoke alert five times last night." Iruka winced with a pained expression.
Iruka took a deep breath, his face doing that weird smile thing, "It looks like you're having fun then."
Naruto pulled a face before getting into his second bowl of miso that Teuchi silently gave him with a smile.
"Mifts nopp fun." Iruka scolded him again but Naruto could see the smile he was covering up. When Iruka laughs everything seemed better and yeah maybe it was funny that somehow he managed to get the ceiling to catch on fire. It was stupid but pretty funny.
Naruto started to laugh, mainly because Iruka was trying real hard not to smile, which was a really bad decision. He choked on his favourite ramen, which was so not cool. He was hit on the back a couple of times -until he stopped coughing, Iruka was making concerned sounds from where he was sitting next to him. He tried to give Iruka a grin but he had a feeling that his watery eyes made his grin not look so mischievous (Iruka liked to call it that) as he hoped that it would.
"And this is why you don't laugh while eating." Naruto stuck his tongue out, he's had enough of lectures from the academy without Iruka telling him more lectures. Iruka laughed and he hoped that Iruka didn't choke as well, he had the feeling that Iruka would blame him for choking.
"What am I going to do with you?" Iruka sighed but the smile he wore said that he wasn't serious.
Naruto grinned cheekily, "Pay for my ramen?"
Iruka laughed again, "Good try but I'm not paying for anything more than that single one, you'll make me bankrupt if I paid for all of them." Naruto pouted, well Iruka was right about the ramen but he still wanted free ramen.
The final bowl of ramen was the vegetarian ramen, full of green vegetables and thin stringy mushrooms. It looked gross but it was ramen so Naruto still ate it, just a bit slower than the usual ones. Iruka looked proud like those parents at graduation, Naruto felt a blush hot on his cheeks.
It was super embarrassing!
"Stop it!"
"Stop what?" Iruka looked amused, one arm on the bench and the other one propping his head up.
"Stop looking like that!" Naruto tried to look serious but he could feel his lips twitch.
"I can't help looking the way that I look."
"I'm pretty sure that you can, dattebayo!"
The ninja that had laughed before leaned over, "Hey, Umino-san, I knew that you have like thirty kids but I didn't know you decided to actually keep one." His friend that had ribbed him laughed along. Naruto could feel his blush deepening and could see Iruka starting to blush as well.
"Hey old man! I'll take the take away now, dattebayo!" He struggled to grab his awesome Gama-chan from his jumpsuit to hand over his money. Teuchi chuckled before handing over a wooden container while Ayame took the money.
"Don't forget to return the container." Naruto nodded seriously to Teuchi before high tailing out of there with the container, unable to keep the grin off of his face as he ran away. He could faintly hear Iruka shouting about telling Sasuke that he said hello.
He had thought about it a few times; Iruka adopting him.
It would practically be a dream come true to have a family that cares about him but it never came up. He didn't mention it and Iruka never said anything then Mizuki happened and Naruto graduated and the opportunity was lost. He never quite knew what would have happened if he had been adopted. Probably would have been nice, maybe a bit more than nice.
The streets past him as he ran towards Sasuke's house, the route to Sasuke's place from Ichiraku's was simple.
Right, straight until the park, then take the left, go straight along past the tea houses with green pillars along the main road towards the nearest gate wall and turn on the forked road around the massive house, go towards the abandoned compound that everyone says has the ghosts of the people that lived there still roaming and take a right, then another right over the hot spring water, left and walk until you see the abandoned creepy Uchiha compound.
Simple.
There had been talk about turning the haunted compound into a new apartment complex but it never came to pass. Naruto was glad because he had a feeling he would be one of the ones that would have had to live there if it did turn into an apartment complex and he was never good with ghosts, there was something about ghosts that just creeps him out, even just thinking about them creeps him out. Naruto didn't even fight the full body shiver.
Seeing Sasuke's overpriced compound made him want to groan, in relief or agony it didn't matter. How did Sasuke even get to keep the whole compound to himself? The place was massive and obviously meant for a large amount of people. Unfortunately the bastard's place was towards the back but not like back-back but more middle back. It was still creepy to be around because everything was dusty like a horror film, not that Naruto was scared of horror films or anything like that but it was the exact type of place for a horror film to be in especially since from the compound you couldn't hear any life from the main business districts either.
Knocking on Sasuke's door he waited to be let in.
And waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Slowly setting down the container of precious goodness he made sure that it wouldn't tip over or be moved from where it was sitting. He took a deep breath, he was going to need it.
"YOU BASTARD! OPEN THE DOOR ALREADY, DATTEBAYO! IT'S LUNCHTIME!" shouted Naruto. There was a yell from upstairs and also a faint sound from within Sasuke's house. Sasuke opened the door looking just as stuffy as every other day, he had his usual glare and a down turned mouth.
"Do you know how to use an inside voice, at all?" The words idiot echoed around them and only served to get Naruto angrier. Picking up the container of ramen he shoved it into Sasuke's arms and pushed his way into the house to take off his shoes, he shouldn't even be here since the bastard's hand was practically healed, it was only because today was the last day that Sasuke needed to take the pills was the only reason why he was here.
"You should be thanking me!"
"For what? Blackening my walls? Not knowing how to cook anything? Impersonating a member of my clan?" Naruto clicked his tongue and looked around to check what chores he'll need to do while the bastard ate.
"For getting you lunch! And you punched me for impersonating your clan so you don't get to use that excuse, dattebayo!" Sasuke made a 'hmph' sound and his way to his table to eat. Bastard. He heard him shut the door, near silently like every other time he was in the bastard's house, the first time he heard him do that he nearly freaked out thinking that he was going to murder him. Though that could have also been the bastard's face.
"I only need you to clean my up my scrolls and cook dinner tonight." Naruto pulled a face at Sasuke who looked down at Naruto, silently eating his ramen without spilling any of it or making that slurping sound. Even his eating habits had to be perfect!
Grumbling Naruto summoned a shadow clone to get started on the dinner for the night while he headed towards the bastard's room. It was covered in scrolls and books but a lot neater than his own room. He grabbed the scrolls and shoved them on to the shelf roughly. It was stupid to be taking his anger on books but Sasuke could do it himself, he was practically healed! A couple of books fell down from the treatment.
"Watch what you're doing. Those books are worth more than you are." Naruto jumped at the sound, he didn't expect Sasuke to be there but there he was standing in the doorway. He had the whole 'I'm the best and you're worthless but I'll allow you near me' face on. Naruto liked to call it bastard face#2, it was the second most common face that he had other than the normal 'I'm just better' face that Naruto liked to call bastard face number one.
"Have you had your pills yet?" countered Naruto and if there was one thing he knew about Sasuke was that he hated to be told what to do, especially by Naruto and Naruto milked every opportunity he could get to tell Sasuke to do something or not do something. Sasuke clicked his tongue at him and went to go get his pills.
Naruto sighed. At least this would be the last time, any longer and they would have killed each other and the only reason they hadn't killed each other is because Sasuke couldn't physically wrap both his hands over Naruto's neck. He went to place the books back where they belonged, God forbid that his books would be out of order unlike his scrolls.
All the titles of the books were boring like the red one that dropped was all about the marriages in the Uchiha clan according to the title, the open black one was about illusions and it didn't even have any pictures! It was all writing! What kind of book doesn't have pictures?
"Sasuke-kun, you have old man books," Naruto called out as loudly as he could as he came back to the kitchen. Sasuke choke on his ramen as his clone was trying to figure out dinner, "I mean they're all boring! They're all writing and no pictures! Even chakra scrolls have pictures!"
Sasuke growled, "Just clean up the books." before going back to the ramen and eating it like it wasn't the best thing in the world. Not liking ramen just proved that Sasuke was a terrible person. Naruto shook his head while watching Sasuke eat.
The glitter bomb in the marriage book would be the best place to put it. Naruto didn't even believe that Sasuke was going to marry anytime soon so it would be like a delay time bomb! Cheerfully Naruto couldn't wait to get back into Sasuke's room and mess with the book.
"Oi! Idiot-" "I'm not an idiot!""-do you want the other ramen bowl? I can't finish it off." Sasuke got out the beef ramen bowl from the container, the scent sweetly entered the air and serenaded Naruto. He could feel his mouth watering from the scent, it still looked warm.
"Just eat it! Don't make eyes at it!" shouted Sasuke, shoving the bowl towards Naruto, the soup almost spilling making Naruto jump towards it in order to save it. Actually both Narutos had jumped to save it but the other one had also failed to go anywhere near it, brained himself against a counter and promptly destroyed itself. There was a puff of smoke both boys ignored, well Sasuke ignored it while Naruto winced at the phantom pain just by looking at his clone, before going back to what they were doing. For Sasuke it was eating and for Naruto it was summoning another clone because the other one was destroyed.
"Thanks for the meal!" Not that Naruto was thanking Sasuke for the meal, he did pay for it after all so it was merely his share of the food. It was the principle of the thing more than anything else. Anyone who said otherwise was a big fat liar.
They ate in silence, which meant that Naruto was slurping down his ramen and Sasuke was looking disgusted by how fast and messy he was eating his ramen.
"Oh! This reminds me-" "Don't eat with your mouth full, nobody wants to see what you're chewing." "-Iruka-sensei wanted me to say hello to you."
Sasuke stared at Naruto for a few minutes, doing his weird look that he sometimes like he didn't really know what to expect.
"You're still in regular contact with Iruka-sensei?"
"Yep! Iruka-sensei is the best, dattebayo! He treats me to ramen every week and we talk too! I saw him right after our first C ranked mission too where he treated me to as much bowls of ramen that I wanted!"
"You...you really like Iruka-sensei." Naruto nodded as he ate the rest of his ramen, it had taken years of practice to get the ability to eat and talk at the same time without people thinking that it was gross and while Naruto was talented he wasn't that talented. Sasuke remained silent.
"You should go home instead of making dinner tonight, my hand is healed and I took the last of the medicine."
"Hah? You made me clean up your scrolls and bring you lunch for nothing!"
"It wasn't nothing, you watched me take my medicine and did a chore. You did what you were supposed to do but I'm not letting you try and cook again. My ceiling is blackened and I am one layer closer to the spare bedroom, I'm not risking you making a hole in the floors either with you trying to cook me dinner."
Admittedly Naruto didn't want to be one step closer to the roof either but he wasn't to give up, taking care of Sasuke was given to him by Kakashi and he would never give up a mission even if the person that he had to take care of was going to be stubborn about it.
"No way! I said that I'll complete this and I will!"
Sasuke slammed his hands on the table, "It's practically complete! You don't need to be here!" Naruto eyed his injured hand tentatively before deciding that if Sasuke was well enough to be bashing his hands around then he was going to be fine.
"I'm going to make you dinner and that's final, dattebayo!" Why couldn't the bastard just let him do this one thing then leave?
"It's my house!"
"It's my job to take care of you!"
"I don't need your help!" growled Sasuke glaring at Naruto for all that he was worth, Naruto just glared back because he was going to win this damnit and the bastard was just going to live with it.
"You hurt your hand! Of course you need my help!"
"I could have had done it by myself!" Sasuke picked up his bowl and threw it at him, he barely dodged the Ichiraku bowl especially when it came from a pissed off Uchiha but the bowl hit the ground harshly creating a nauseating sound. He hoped it wasn't broken but he couldn't afford to keep his eyes away from Sasuke to check either.
"How? By hurting your hand even more? I knew that you were a bastard but I never knew how much of a stubborn bastard you are!"
"That doesn't make any sense!"
"It does too, dattebayo!"
"I want you out of here!"
There was another silence. Sasuke was huffing and had the sharingan out (when did that happen?), and Naruto, Naruto just slid back into his seat.
Naruto was trying to remember his nīndo way, it was a little hard with Sasuke's words echoing through his head and took a couple of breaths. Slowly he got up, Sasuke shooting him a victorious grin, and walked into the kitchen to help with the dinner.
There was a pause before a chair scrapped against the wooden floor and the thumping of feet came closer to where Naruto had started to peel potatoes. Why were potatoes so weird to touch?
"What are you doing? I thought I told you to get out."
"Yeah but I'm not giving up my nindō ways. It doesn't matter if this was just Kakashi-sensei asking me to help you, I'm not giving up."
"This has nothing to do with your nindō ways."
"It has everything to do with my nindō ways. It means that I don't give up, not on a mission, not on the village and especially not on my stubborn bastard teammate who doesn't accept help from anyone."
There was another pause before Sasuke clicked his tongue, "Do what you want but if you're going to continue making dinner I'm going to supervise you so you don't burn my house down."
"Bastard."
"Shut up and peel the potatoes properly."
Sasuke went to hovering over his shoulder, which for the record was super annoying and it's like the bastard wanted Naruto to mess up with all the hovering, not that he would call it hovering. The bastard probably called it something stupid like 'protecting his kitchen'.
"I can hear you being awkward, bastard. You might as well just say what you want to say." There was just one part of the potato that dipped in and he kept having to peel more and more from the potato just to get to that one spot. It was really annoying, this is why ramen was better; there were no weird dips in it that made everything lumpy.
Sasuke clicked his tongue and said, "I want you to teach me the shadow clone jutsu." Naruto accidentally dropped the potato, it was just so slippery and did Sasuke really say that?
"Did you just really say that?" Naruto had to know and stared at Sasuke, the bastard was looking away but there was definitely a faint blush on his cheeks causing Naruto to grin. Embarrassing Sasuke was the best, it was hard to do so but so worth it especially when Sakura wasn't around to scold him or say how cool Sasuke was.
"Shut up!" Sasuke now had crossed his arms and was facing away from Naruto but Naruto knew, he knew that he had seen that blush, "I just want to learn the shadow clone jutsu."
Naruto pretended to think about it, well he was thinking about it but not the way most would, no he was thinking about what he would make Sasuke do before he taught him the shadow clone. Sure, he could keep the jutsu to himself since it was his speciality but this was one of his teammates and if Sakura had asked him to learn it he would gladly teach her without embarrassing her.
Naruto didn't even bother to wipe the grin off of his face, "I'll teach you but first you have to do the sexy no jutsu." Sasuke's head turned so fast that Naruto felt a vague concern about his health before squishing it.
"No."
"That's my condition to teaching the shadow clone jutsu. You have to learn and perform the sexy no jutsu first and it has to be good, dattebayo!"
"I won't learn it!"
"Then you won't learn the shadow clones either." Naruto was now having the time of his life, he was going to make Sasuke do the sexy no jutsu and get away with it. Where was a camera when he needed it?
"The so called 'sexy no jutsu' is just a transformation of women! It's not even a new jutsu or anything!"
"Then no shadow clone."
"Fine! I'll do your stupid jutsu but you better keep your end of the deal!" Naruto grinned harder than he had done so in months. Now this was helping a teammate out.
Kakashi had been a bit concerned, only a little, about his wayward students. Sakura was easy, she just needed to find a reason to be a better kunoichi. He wasn't going to help her on it since it was really her problem to find a reason and not his but still she was the easiest student he had and good chakra control with the bonus of no major mental health issues.
Now Naruto and Sasuke on the other hand...
Kakashi had talked to Naruto a bit earlier when he was looking for the knockoff versions of the Icha Icha series when he met Naruto in the civilian shopping district. From what Naruto had said their relationship still wasn't good, what was the point of forcing them together if they didn't get along? Icha Icha Violence lied to him.
So here he was in Uchiha complex slowly making his way to Sasuke's registered house. He didn't even need to know Sasuke's address for the house (he did know it) since all he had to do was follow the sound of shouting.
The closer he got the louder it got, which was impressive considering that the walls were insulated to be at the very least semi soundproof.
Knocking on Sasuke's door, heavily because you don't hear anything from lightly knocking, Kakashi could hear more shouting and thumping from the other side. Were they fighting again?
The door opened, finally, revealing a blonde woman, almost fully naked apart from the smoke tastefully covering up certain areas, and a black haired woman, this one with clothing. It was like he stumbled upon a private floating world within the apartment and made him question for a second if he had got the right apartment, however he knew for a fact that the blonde woman was Naruto and that meant that the black haired woman was Sasuke.
"Kakashi-sensei!" chirped the blonde one, well Naruto with more assets then he had two hours ago.
Kakashi hummed, to make an inappropriate comment or not? These were his underage students and he wasn't that horrible that he would hit on them even if it was for a joke, they might take him seriously and that was a seal tag that he wasn't going to touch.
"So what's going on here?" asked Kakashi as casually as he could, it wouldn't do for his students to become too flustered. Sasuke blushed faintly, he really did make a nice looking woman but that didn't answer his question.
"I'm helping the bastard out!" Naruto was all grins that looked like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, Kakashi was rather impressed that Naruto even got Sasuke to do a transformation like this especially in his own home. Maybe Icha Icha Violence didn't lie to him after all.
"Oh?" One worded questions were the best questions, they didn't give anything away and they usually made people talk as well, not that he needed that with Naruto since Naruto talks anyway.
"Yep! I said that I'd teach Sasuke-kun the shadow clone jutsu if he did a proper sexy no jutsu!" Kakashi felt the amused smile on his face freeze. Ah, this wasn't good, not good at all.
"I told you that the sexy no jutsu isn't even a real jutsu! It's just something that you made up to cover for the fact that you are just using a basic jutsu!" scolded Sasuke, her arms awkwardly trying to find a good way of folding over her chest. If they're going to use transforms like that then they should probably also be taught basic gender gestures as well, something to look into.
"Now, now, no complaining about a jutsu that could help you. Any and all jutsu are to be learned," Sasuke looked like Kakashi was bullshitting him, well he was, partly, while Naruto had another shit eating grin. However, "Naruto-kun, you can't teach Sasuke-kun the shadow clone jutsu."
"What?!" Sasuke looked disbelieving and that was more expression then he's seen on the boy in a while, maybe he could keep making Sasuke use the sexy no jutsu so he wouldn't be so blank anymore? Maybe not, his reputation (not that he has a good one) would go down very, very fast if he did that, he might even be taken away from his cute little students.
"I can too!"
"I mean, you're not the best teacher for him."
Naruto looked crestfallen, "I can do it though," Kakashi sighed, this is why he didn't want his students to have overlapping abilities, "I mean I'll do just of a good job as you, so why can't I teach him?"
"Naruto-kun, do you remember the risks involved with the shadow clone jutsu?"
Naruto blinked a few times before asking, "There's risks?" with Sasuke echoing him.
"You never told me there were risks!"
"I never knew there were risks, dattebayo!"
"How did you not know?"
"I was interrupted while reading the scroll!"
Kakashi placed a hand on each of their heads to get them to shut up. He definitely wasn't ever going to have children, these students of his were enough.
"Right, so new rule, any jutsu that you learn you have to learn the risks and benefits to each jutsu before you're able to teach it to someone else."
"So I can't teach Sasuke-kun the shadow clone jutsu?"
"No, but if Sasuke-kun wants to learn the shadow clone jutsu he will need to ask me."
"I'm right here." growled Sasuke as he let go of the transformation jutsu, Kakashi's hand had sat on top of air for a second before gravity made it land on a much smaller Sasuke's head. Kakashi turned a one eyed smile on Sasuke, extra bright because if the boy was going to ask for training then Kakashi was going to enjoy this moment.
Sasuke clicked his tongue before walking further into his apartment leaving a smiling Kakashi and pouting female Naruto.
"Well I guess he doesn't want to learn the shadow clone jutsu."
"But it's so awesome, dattebayo!" Naruto released his 'sexy no jutsu' as well, Kakashi made a mental reminder to test how long he could keep a transformation jutsu for, "Are there really risks to it though?"
"Yes, Naruto-kun, however you seem to be safe from them so you shouldn't worry too much about it." Naruto nodded before walking further into the house.
"Oi! Bastard, I still need to cook you dinner!"
"I don't want your charcoal!"
"Oi! I'm a great cook!"
"Ramen doesn't count as cooking!"
"Don't you insult ramen like that, dattebayo!"
Kakashi smiled to himself before letting himself into the house and having a look around. Mainly neat apart from a bowl from Ichiraku's on the ground and a similar bowl on the table with a container from Ichiraku's as well.
"Is that a potato on the ground?" asked Kakashi lazily as he got his shoes off.
"Ah!" shouted Naruto that was quickly followed by Sasuke's, "Moron!"
Yeah, these cute little students of his were just enough for him. He didn't need children when his legacy was staring him right in the face. Kakashi winced when he saw Naruto accidentally break a bowl, yeah he definitely didn't need or want children of his own.
So my Narutoverse commentary is somewhat running low but what I'm currently on is trying to make Neji was right 2k18 a thing. This is because Neji was absolutely right during the last part of the chunin exams where he goes on about how lineage and privilege means everything in the world.
It is an almost perfect commentary of a jaded individual about the world around him before he got infected with Naruto Friendship no jutsu(TM).
Of course this doesn't excuse the fact that he tried to kill his cousin and possible future head of house but like damn Neji knew his philosophy and sociology of his world.
Also if you didn't know Neji is one of my favourite characters. He's basically the reason I'm writing this fanfic due to my reaction of "No, what do you mean he's dead? He can't be dead."
