MATURE CONTENT - 18+ The war is over, but healing takes time. As the villages begin to rebuild, missions become survival, and survival demands teamwork. When Sakura, now one of the most skilled medic in the shinobi world, is paired with her former mentor Kakashi Hatake, neither of them expects more than routine work. But silent glances turn into shared silences... and something unspoken begins to grow. She was never supposed to look at him that way-he was never supposed to want her back. What happens when two comrades cross the lines they spent years pretending didn't exist? This is a slow-burn,Adult and mature story exploring the shift from comradeship to something deeper... and maybe even dangerous. Note- So for the story purpose Kakashi is currently 30 years old n Sakura is 18 years old. Also it will contain lemon 🍋 / smut chapters. I don't own any Naruto characters or anything except this fanfiction.
