Summary
“Right,” the man drawled. “So instead of finding a new nanny, you decided to become a missing nin. That makes perfect sense.”
Kakashi twitched. “Maa, stranger-san, what makes you think—”
“Injured shinobi don’t run in the opposite direction of their village like that unless they’re expecting to be hunted.”
---
Upon returning from a harrowing mission, Kakashi finds Naruto injured in his crib at the orphanage he was sent to. It's the last straw--just one of a dozen different ways the village has failed Naruto--and Kakashi makes the impulsive decision to take the boy and run. Injured from his own previous mission and with no real plan in mind, Kakashi knows it will take a miracle for them to survive, especially since it's only a matter of time before Konoha sends someone to track them down.
That miracle takes the form of the mysterious and elusive Iruka, a man who not only saves Kakashi when his injuries prove too much to handle, but also offers Naruto all the love and care Kakashi could only hope to give him. But Iruka has his own secrets, and danger nips constantly at Kakashi's heels. Even if they can learn to trust each other, it might not be enough to keep any of them safe.

Summary
The day after the Nine-Tails’ attack, Kakashi leaves Konoha. He’s fourteen, he’s alone, and he’s had enough. Shinobi life has done nothing for him, apart from taking everything – everyone – that he holds dear.
So he leaves. He just wants to be alone; people only ever die around him, anyway. He tries his best to never care about anyone again.
Ten years later, Naruto stumbles across a silver-haired half-dead missing-nin in the woods – and he becomes determined to turn this stranger into his first and only friend.
