THE RIGHT PERSON He came with the dusk- a shadow at the edge of the corridor, a glance held a second too long. He never said much. But Iruka noticed him anyway. And Iruka, with his steady voice and worn smile, wasn't supposed to matter. Not to someone like Kakashi. Not in the way he did.

Iruka Umino has always been the quiet heart of Konoha-the teacher who never stops caring, even when his own scars ache. Kakashi Hatake has always been the village's shadow-aloof, untouchable, a man everyone respects and fears. They orbit each other, bound by their connection to Naruto. But when old memories resurface and new bonds form under one roof, Kakashi finds himself drawn to Iruka in ways he can't ignore. Naruto's laughter, Iruka's warmth, Kakashi's silence-together, they form an unlikely family. Yet shadows linger. Kakashi fears closeness; Iruka fears abandonment. Slowly, between bickering breakfasts, scoldings, and soft, stolen glances, walls begin to crumble. In a village still healing from war, can two scarred souls find peace in each other? Or will masks and fears keep them apart? A slow-burn KakaIru story filled with angst, fluff, and the messy tenderness of family.
