    Summary

    The woman crouches down, long hair piled up into a haphazard bun during the time he had looked away. Her eyes are level with his. “Don’t worry, Kabuto. Shimura Memorial Orphanage is a good place. If we can’t find your parents, you can stay here, okay?”

    An orphanage.

    He is in an orphanage and, he looks down at his hands with a familiar hollow ache in his chest, and he is a child.

    He is dead, and he is in an orphanage, and he is a child.

    Kabuto laughs and laughs and laughs.

    ...

    Or, a deeply unstable Root graduate with no concept of selfhood and only the most tenuous grasp of what sanity might be supposed to look like in sterile lab conditions makes friends, does his best to figure out how independence is supposed to work, terrifies a lot of responsible adults (and less responsible "peers") who really just want to help, and fends off “I can fix him” attempts on all sides (reciprocating with an “I can make him worse” aoe aura). Depressing introspection and unfortunate perspective gaps are only to be expected. This is the best Kabuto's mental health has been ... ever, and the eighth panic attack Hizashi has had this week.

    Summary

    Pakkun stands blinking slowly for several seconds, watching his packmate vanish into the trees around the Dog village, a sinking feeling in his heart, the grief that still feels so present, so urgent and immediate that it takes his breath away.

    He never expected to say the ritual words twice.

    Summary

    Iruka’s life has fallen apart in the year since the kyuubi attack. He spends his days pulling pranks, arguing with his least favourite ANBU, Hound, and becoming more obsessed with teenage jounin Hatake Kakashi for reasons he doesn’t entirely understand. Then he starts hearing the stories.

    Several orphans have gone missing – branded as runaways by a village still licking its wounds, no one is searching for them. But there are rumours whispered by the village children: rumours of the bogeyman, a shadowy figure who emerges from the underworld, perhaps a man or a monster, with messages from dead parents to lure the orphans back to the Land of the Dead.

    Iruka doesn’t know what to believe. But the danger is real, the adults aren’t listening, and somebody needs to stop the bogeyman. It might as well be him.
