Summary
Sasuke could never understand Naruto, that was the only reason Sasuke observed Naruto so much, curiosity never love.
Or
Years and years of meticulous observations about Naruto had made Sasuke understand a lot of things, what is care, love, pain and missing.Bookmarked by Aster_l0

Summary
His plan was simple: he would reach the village gates before *anyone* noticed his absence. In his mind, it was a race against time, a dangerous game where every second counted. He had to move like a shadow, silently and quickly, to disappear. ...disappear.
No one was watching him. That's what he kept telling himself. No one cared enough to watch him, he told himself as he waited for the perfect moment to leave. Slowly, climbing out of his window, the first thing he felt was the cold night air whipping his face, but he wasn't cold and he wasn't going back to his apartment.
Using the shadows and branches of the trees as a cloak, he ran and ran. He moved with desperate agility and speed, jumping between the roofs of the slums and the treetops, careful enough not to alert anyone. Each movement was accompanied by a silent prayer not to be seen.
Was anyone watching him?.

Summary
Will the ceremony be over by the time Sasuke makes it back? Is the news even accurate? Maybe Naruto’s not getting married, he’s getting…carried, somewhere. On a palanquin. Or he’s getting buried. No, that’s worse.
(Sasuke is convinced by a passing rumour that the love of his life, Uzumaki Naruto, is about to throw the biggest and most extravagant wedding ceremony in Konoha's history...but he's not the groom. How could such a disaster have happened to him?)

Summary
They have always walked a thin line—between love and hatred, between rivalry and devotion, between the need to destroy and the need to save.
Sasuke has returned to Konoha, but redemption is a battlefield of its own. The village watches him with wary eyes, and the ghosts of his past weigh heavier than ever. He expects judgment, punishment. What he doesn’t expect is Naruto—still relentless, still burning with the same stupid, stubborn hope, still looking at him like he’s worth saving.
Their fights escalate—a fight too brutal, too raw. Sasuke’s back hits the ground, Naruto’s hands are on him—fists curled in his shirt, breath hot and heavy. And then, silence.
Naruto’s voice shakes when he says, “Tell me you don’t feel it.”
Sasuke can’t.
But love has never been a soft thing between them. It’s jagged edges and unspoken words, it’s the sharp taste of blood and the unbearable weight of wanting. It’s knowing they could destroy each other, and choosing to do it anyway.
Because Sasuke has always been on the edge of a blade. And Naruto—Naruto is the only thing that has ever kept him from falling. -

Summary
At 19, he understood what it meant to be a field ninja and he realized in tandem that he could never teach himself to wash blood out of the clothes he was always told his parents were proud to wear.
At 20, he understood what it meant to be a teacher and he learned that no amount of re-reading could change how abysmally low the rate of survival for genin who didn’t retain everything they had been taught.
At 21, he met Naruto Uzumaki.
At 21… Iruka Umino finally understood why his parents could throw away everything so easily. He understood, because he was looking at Naruto clutching his stomach hungrily as bruises littered whatever his baggy clothes didn’t. Grabby hands beckoning for his help even in fitful sleep the way a baby would beg for it’s mother’s comfort, whimpers that quieted themselves like a child who no longer believed they’d be heard by anyone helpful.
