Kakashi was training Naruto with change in chakra. Then that night when Naruto was walking home from a lot of drinking he got took. Will Kakashi find him? What will Kakashi do? Can Kakashi save Naruto, the love of his life? What will happen to Naruto? Well if you read you will find out all.

Even the best of us start off with a mask. (guys pls stop reading it's terrible)

Kakashi loves Naruto. The problem is that Kakashi did not confess his love to Naruto and he is growing more and more popular with the ladies after the Ninja War. Kakashi has a plan...sort of. Will it work?

Summary: "He isn't very interesting. Just another idiot of the village who is loud and quick tempered. I'd like to say that at least. It'd make things so much easier for us if it were true. I could make excuses for myself over and over and it wouldn't change a thing. I still love the idiot who is the only genin left among his peers. And I can't change that..nor would I choose to." Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN THE STORY JUST THE WORDS THAT ARE WRITTEN. I DO NOT CONDONE OR ENCOURAGE TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS CENTERED AROUND THE CONCEPT OF GROOMING. This is not that kind of story either since neither of the pairing fit under the term. It is a fluff piece about two lost souls moving forward apart and together. Has malexmale and there is an age difference but it is legal and consensual with little to no angst. Enjoy!

Updates at random times Naruto confesses his love to his sensei- Kakashi, but kakashi turns his student down in hopes the child will find someone else to love him as he does not deserve the innocent child. Yet two and a half years pass by and with the return of Naruto, there will be changes to the leaf village-Will it be from kakashi's love beginning to Narutos goal no longer being Hokage-but someone who works behind the scenes are both things no one would suspect to happen.
