This is fantastic. Such a perfect snapshot, you've got the personalities down pat.

i didnt understand the story in the beginning but in the end it was clear what he meant by "trial" i thought iruka sensei had a trial and kakashi is gonna protect him :/

Very nice.

-smiles-

glad they made up. liked the fic, mostly, 'cept when Ruka was rationalizing things using God...seems to fatalistic and impractical for a ninja. meh, whatever.

Perfection. Raw emotion spilling out. REAL shinobi issues Perfect.

wonderfully written, as always and touching... i love how human and convincing and in-character they sound~

keep up the marvellous job just because you're brilliant.

Very powerful, you've manipulated the reader's (my) emotions well.

"... the tears he refuses to shed..."

I'd almost helped him...

Haha! "O-jounin-sama". Lovely! I want to see him get punished...Haha! Very nice read! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So fuckin sweet. Loved it. I mean, LOVED it. I love all your stories. Keep up the excellent work and continue producing more!

simply beautiful... i just love the emotions that were brought out to the surface. i could feel the heartache. and then you brought it to a lovely/fluffy ending.

thank you very much for sharing this piece! i look forward to reading more of your kakairu stories.

I love the angst in this chapter; it was present but wasn't there just to make the reader bawl or anything. Good job with this!

PS About damn time Iruka becomes a jounin...XD

Nice fight. I've been thinking about fights lately, for some reason. And this was a good one. Well written and in character. An excellent piece of fiction.

huh...

I think Kaka is gonna be late for his mission. I wonder how long it will take for Iruka to get a genin squad to teach. The horrors.
