Summary
Naruto, after almost four years spent mostly on the streets by that point, had been in awe when Sarutobi, the great and wise Monkey King himself, had descended from his perch and whisked him away into the deep woods one chilly spring morning.
At the time Naruto had taken that as an act of kindness, as a rescue of sorts from the cruelty and hunger that dogged his every step.
But now, years later, Naruto knows better.
What Sarutobi had done to him, the gift Naruto had been given, had been just short of exile.
Had been, in Naruto’s opinion, a far crueler thing to do.

Summary
“Stay here, stay safe, and take care of the place for me,” Kakashi tells the kitsune, leaning down to press an impulsive kiss right between those startlingly blue eyes. “Hopefully you’ll still be here when I get back. I think it’d be nice to have someone to welcome me home again.”
And, much to Kakashi’s surprise, that seems to settle the kitsune down in a way nothing else has.
The kitsune follows him all the way right up to the territory’s boundaries but no further, yipping out what sounds suspiciously like a goodbye as Kakashi moves further away.
Kakashi doesn’t look back.
He never does when he leaves.
But, for the first time in a long time, a part of him wants to.

Summary
“Konoha is our home,” Naruto whispers as he stares up at him, eyes a burning blue and pupils slit like a fox. The words, unprompted as they are, sound like a vow. “The Great Tree must be protected. The rot burned away. We could not allow him to cut away an entire bough that could still be saved.”
‘Oh,’ Hiruzen thinks somewhat helplessly as he stares down at this prince of two villages that he in his weakness had left to be twisted and tainted like this, ‘oh may the gods see me damned.’
Or
After yet another incident results in Naruto in the hospital and his assigned caretakers dead, Sarutobi gives Naruto to Danzo to raise and things take a rather abrupt step sideways.

Summary
"Thought you'd be off with Gai-sensei," Naruto says instead of answering even as he crosses the room to place his mask on the edge of his bed.
Kakashi just blinks at him for a long moment, eyes tracing over the way that Naruto has moved to cover his hair with that black cloth Ibiki-style.
"I pointed Anko in his direction," Kakashi says. "She had saké and a fistful of senbon, so he'll be busy for hours. Now, again, what are you doing?"
"Poor Gai-sensei," Naruto mutters as he finishes fiddling with his haircloth, confident that not a single blond hair will show for the rest of the night. It’d be easier, of course, if he could just use a henge but there are measures to detect that sort of thing at all of the stalls and his more thorough transformation is well known by this point. The old-fashioned way will have to do. "I'm getting ready for the festival."

Summary
“Babysitter indeed,” Mito scoffs as she clutches a third saké bottle to her chest. “We need to find some idiot stubborn and strong enough to put up with both of them. Someone who can bridg-”
Mito breaks off suddenly, sitting bolt upright from where she’d slowly begun to slump towards the table.
“Mito?” Hashirama blinks and stares at his wife who is staring into the distance with a look of glee slowly beginning to dawn across her face.
Mito’s moving in the next second, saké bottle still clutched in one hand as the other sweeps out across the table, sending the cups, papers, and the tea set flying across the room.
Hashirama just raises his hands above his head to keep his saké from spilling and waits her out.
“Oh, it’s perfect,” Mito cackles, a truly disturbing grin splitting open her lovely face.
