Summary
This is not how things was supposed to go. Sakura and Naruto had been running themselves ragged to line up the perfect promotional cycle for Naruto’s solo debut, and establishing himself as the ‘visual of visuals’ was a crucial part of the plan. For this complete streaming rando to overtake that title on this ranking list was beyond comprehension.
Or, up and coming idol Uzumaki Naruto is peeved that some masked internet streamer has taken his rightful spot as the most handsome man on the internet. He plots to one-up the guy by joining his livestream. He ends up in a very, very different situation.

Summary
In an era of delicate peace, Tsunade asks Naruto to join the Special Assassination and Tactical Squad. Under the codename Frog, he also finds himself drawn ever nearer to the ANBU legacy of Wolf, complicating his relationship with the man Kakashi himself. Violence, sex, grief, and power all intermingle, ink into water into blood. How Naruto fractures and whether he comes out of it some kind of whole again will require a complete descent into the shadows.
A companion piece to Guidance, this time from Naruto's perspective, but can be read as a standalone story.

Summary
When Tsunade informs Kakashi of her decision to draft Naruto into ANBU, he recalls that ANBU cope and process their work in...unusual ways. He offers his unwavering support to his former student and the Savior of the World, a promise to be there for Naruto no matter what the need.

Summary
The Hatake clan, while known for their immense shinobi prowess, were less known for their specific kind of genetic color-blindness. In a world of bloodlines passing on powers unknown to ordinary humans, Hatake Kakashi thought it was irrelevant to mention his monochromatic world to others...What perhaps was more notable was that the colorblindness had everything to do with love and soulmates, and even as an adult Kakashi had a difficult time imagining that he out of all people in this village would be subject to such a ridiculous bloodline limit. Supposedly the world would become color when he met ~The One~ and…well, then what?

Summary
If you asked him outright, Kakashi couldn't quite tell you when they fell into this routine, and this realization struck him uncomfortably as he stared at Naruto's tall frame in the kitchen, listening to the quick snipping of the scissors cutting green onions over the bowls of rice and sautéed miso eggplant with tofu. Oneshot Kaka/Naru, or not, depending on how you squint.
