Summary
The last thing Iruka ever expected was to end up having to protect Naruto from the one person he thought would always have their backs; but here he is, ANBU mask tied neatly on, a glassy-eyed Naruto by his side, and every intention of outplaying his former-lover-turned-renegade.

“I left because I had to do what was right. I couldn’t stand it anymore, Iruka. I couldn’t stand the way this village treats its orphans, treats its ninja. I couldn’t stand the way it treated us. We were children, Iruka.
“We were children, in Bingo Books, going on back-to-back missions we sometimes weren’t even expected to come back from. We were children raising the Yondaime’s son, my sensei’s toddler son, while everyone in the village treated him like he was some sort of monster instead of an unwilling hero.
“Don’t you get it, Iruka?” Up close Iruka can see the way Kakashi’s mask crinkles at the mouth, like he’s biting his lip. “Naruto’s been in Bingo Books since the day he was born. There was a major, ninja criminal organisation after him and what was anybody doing? What was The Leaf doing? I couldn’t stay at home playing perfect little soldier while there were people out there hunting down the people I loved. I had to do something.”
