Summary
Kakashi just wants to finish his decade-long mission when his attention is suddenly grabbed by the mission desk chuunin who dares to stand up to him.
~
Or: The one where Kakashi openly walking around in his ANBU uniform actually makes sense, because he’s ANBU's poster boy (with a secret mission).

Summary
Umino Iruka regarded the man standing before his shop counter with what was probably poorly-veiled irritation.
"Yes, thank you," he said. "I know how a triple-layered chakra lock works."
Long years of experience kept Iruka's tone even: losing his temper meant losing customers, even if there weren't very many people in Konoha who did what he did.
* * *
The canon-divergent au in which Iruka graduates the academy, does 3 D-rank missions, and then retires, because his leg was badly crushed in the kyuubi attack—so he re-trains as a locksmith and makes chakra-manipulated locks.
A story about systemic structural power imbalances between shinobi and civilians and the various ways in which expectations of physical strength and implicit ableism are detrimental to community trust. In which Iruka finds himself stuck between worlds, all because Sharingan Kakashi demanded the impossible, and Iruka made him a quadruple-layered chakra lock.

Summary
An argument has Naruto revealing a number of insecurities and doubts. It finally becomes clear to Kakashi that he has a lot of damage control to do if he'd ever like to fix things with the charismatic teen. Especially when Naruto's convinced that his Sensei never cared in the first place.
Showing Naruto just how much he cares proves to be much easier to do after nearly losing the blonde in an ambush.
