shisui's potential as Iruka's first love in a kkir au is sooooo fun. like they have the same vibe, so they'll get along swingingly (pun very much intended) but then!!!! shisui still kills himself!!!!!! like Sakumo!!! he gives his eyes away!!!! like Obito!!!

so you have Iruka getting hit by two of Kakashi's traumas in one guy! a guy he really liked!! but he still... he's still Iruka, bright, passionate, hot-headed Iruka!!

all it does is like... make him less inclinded to form relationships. tired of getting hurt by all his loved ones dying.

have him look at the way his relationship with Kakashi is going, all the ramen outings with team seven, bonding over Naruto, and see how Kakashi has a stupidly high mortality rate (age, profession, all the bingo books he's in) and have Iruka go "uhm. are we really going to be friends with him?" only for their chunin exam argument to make that progress die in the water. Iruka's pissed bc this time he's hurt bc someone he liked wasn't actually his friend and loosing him is just as bad as him dying.

and Kakashi over there like "hm. hmmmmm. how do i fix my mistake?" bc he's actually very fond of Iruka and it's a bit gloomy without him around. not aware Iruka's over there trying to close off his heart so it'll never get broken ever again.

ohohohoho

big fan of how a couple of hints were dropped that iruka is actually way stronger than he lets on and then nothing came of that

this post has been on my mind all week

Happy birthday Sensei! My babygirl

[irukaamerite]

my favourite thing ab the anbu Iruka theory is like. There's a high enough chance Kakashi didn't get reinstated and with how well Iruka hides, he probably isn't even in the know that Iruka is in anbu now.

so it adds a layer to their relationship. Kakashi's like "what a relief it is to have Iruka village bound and never out on anything more dangerous than a B rank when he does go out on a mission," assuming he hasn't gone snooping through personnel files and found the record of Iruka's 12 A rank missions from before he started teaching.

bc now it's like, Iruka's still probably mostly village bound, but in much more dangerous situations than simply inexperienced children throwing weapons around and the frustrations of bureaucracy. and there's a high chance Tsunade might send him out on a mission for his highly specialised skills.

he might come back banged up worse than after Mizuki, and Kakashi might go "... rough B rank huh, can you tell me what happened," plotting how to conveniently make a detour to extract revenge on the guys who attacked Iruka, not knowing that their corpses are lying on some autopsy table at that very moment.

like. it sorta reverses it? but not quite.

like it adds more conflict! Kakashi not wanting Iruka to die like all his other precious people friends seem to do, but Iruka actively putting himself in danger and not telling anyone the truth behind all his new injuries. Kakashi getting more and more worried, "Lady Tsunade, please stop sending Iruka on B ranks, he's getting hurt," and it taking aaall of her willpower not to laugh in Kakashi's face that Iruka's been going on S ranks and is honestly coming back home in better shape than expected!

And then perhaps it slips up? A messenger bird for anbu sings it's song while Iruka and Kakashi are hanging out, and Kakashi's like "huh, i guess someone close by has a mission," Iruka hums in agreement before going "wow! excuse me, i drank too much i gotta go," and runs off to the bathroom. he comes back like "aaaaaaah it would have been bad if i held it in any longer! do you want another beer?" and he conks out, Kakashi sneakily recording Iruka's drunken state with the sharingan only to freeze up; this is a fucking clone. when the fuck did Iruka swap with a clone!? he's not still doing filing at the tower is he? Kakashi's been in arms reach all day, he'd have noticed Iruka slipping off—— just now, in the bathroom, maybe he made a clone to entertain Kakashi before he succumbed to sleep??? he goes to check the bathroom and the crazy theory is proven wrong by the emptiness of it. it was after the bird called for an anbu agent——

he doesn't like that idea. he teleports directly into Tsunade's office. demands to know what's going on with Iruka and Tsunade reluctantly agrees to tell him, bc while she wants to respect her cousin's wishes for secrecy, not telling people like Kakashi is just going to cause unnecessary grief.

so he stands there, listening to Tsunade recount the events that led to Iruka joining anbu (a mixture of needing the manpower and noticing how much he holds back in everything he does), that all the misions Iruka's been on since she took office have been S ranks.

and Kakashi is like. my silly little wonderful Iruka-sensei who values every life he meets?? has been going on anbu missions?? for months????? his injuries are from anbu missions?????? he might have died on an s class mission it could have been deemed classified information that he'd never know¹. he's. he's a bit... his world has shifted, he's lost

and he keeps finding Iruka in the village???? a quick sweep with his sharingan and it's... clones, and after trailing them, he finds that they've got... seal tags they activate with some chakra whenever one's about to naturally expire², they pull out a tag and a new one takes it's place. he hangs around, and is mildly surprised that each clone manages to catch kunai and other things that would have popped the clone with ease.

[some reflection with Kakashi ab Iruka here that makes him comfort with this new development and how much he wants to support him here that i won't elaborate bc of tine constraints]

and so when Iruka arrives back in the dead of the night, still in his anbu blacks, some scrapes and bruises, crawling in through his window, Kakashi is there waiting for him. Iruka obviously freaks out a little, and then starts apologizing for not sayihg anything about this, asking how he found out. Kakashi sheepishly confesses to using the sharingan to uhm record Iruka's drunken stupor, and finding out about the clone and clones... but also that he's like. he wants to support Iruka. that when he was in anbu, having someone at home waiting for him would have helped, and he'd like to, well, do that for Iruka. be someone he can come home to

¹until he became hokage and privy to those files hehehehehe

²assuming clones have limited lifespans, that's more to of a timer than chakra amount, if they're being made with fuuinjutsu.

alright so my new and improved anbu Iruka thoughts. this guy ↓

so this part opens with Pain and his clones infiltrating konoha and doing terrorist organization things. one of the very first interactions we see, is Pain approaching Iruka and Kakashi jumping in to take the fight. the chapter ends with Tsunade looking out the window as a cloaked anbu and some guy make their reports.

in the next chapter, one of the first pieces of dialogue that we get, immediately after we're shown this, is this lovely line from Iruka, saying how he's told Tsunade already.

but we don't actually see him do that. we get to see Ino rush into a I&T meeting to tell everyone what's happened.

all we're shown is the random ninja and the cloaked anbu.

this might not even be the same one shown later accompanying Tsunade, but the Iruka looking one doesn't even have the tattoo, and pair that with the whole "you'll never know how strong he is," from the character book, he likes to hide, so he might even switch out masks. especially if he's got the mind to cover himself up like that while in Tsunade's office

like. there's official art out there with him using a sword. anbu gear is equipped with a sword!

MY NEW THEORY is that Tsunade got to see how strong Iruka-sensei really is and had him signed up for anbu. and to keep his identity truly hidden, he goes through a lot of trouble.

"what about the Iruka that spoke to Sakura" a clone. he's a helpful guy, he made some clones and had them run around helping.

I'd even argue that Kakashi jumped in to save a clone. pain fighting a clone without the main body around to finish the fight would just be a waste.

Happy b-day Iruka Kakashi didn't buy anything, so he is improvising

PLEASE PLEASE DRAW IRUKA AS A WATERBENDER

I wanted to make a really cool doodle but I'm not feeling it, F, sorry it took so long I mean, when you asked for Iruka waterbender I was thinking in this fic a lot (is one of my fav even if is incomplete) https://archiveofourown.org/works/564731/chapters/1010097

Iruka as a waterbender is a really cool combo ;x;

[irukaamerite]

With all my doodles, is there any idea that I should draw more? I'm curious. I want to doodle more, but I'm not sure where to start.

[irukaamerite]

i want to

- draw iruka zabuza fankids

- finish chapter two

- post the rest of what I've got written of the Hokage Iruka fic like "OK SO SINCE WRITING THIS IVE HAD DIFFERENT IDEAS AND REWRITING EVERYTHING SEEMS LIKE A PAIN SO HERE!! ENJOY!!!!"

- use the fifty pinterest refs i saved

- draw backgrounds

[irukaamerite]

My favorite KakaIru fic tropes:

Kakashi handing shitty mission reports just so Iruka can yell at him because he thinks Iruka is very hot when angry

Iruka being very popular and well-liked in the village without knowing cuz he sees himself as Very Average ™ (Danganronpa protag ass-)

Anko being Iruka's bff and ready to kill Kakashi if he hurts her bestie

Naruto firmly believing Kakashi is not good enough for Iruka even if he does support their relationship

Kakashi's crush on Iruka dating all the way back to his ANBU days but he has zero idea what to do

Kakashi stalking Iruka because he has feelings for him and his love language is "keeping an eye on him"

Iruka being actually much more skilled and stronger than people think but he likes being a chunnin and, more importantly, a teacher

All jonin drinking their Respect Iruka Juice™ either because they've come to like him or because Iruka put them in their places (and Kakashi made sure the lesson stuck)

Kakashi being a simp

Kakashi being so damn horny and also touch starved so even the most brief of touches from Iruka leave him fighting a raging boner

The students adopting Iruka as their honorary parent and Kakashi being so down bad for Iruka's nurturing and loving nature he kinda just accepts he'll also be adopting 30 kids if they get together

Kakashi trying to keep Iruka at a distance cuz he thinks himself too dangerous and undeserving and Iruka having none of that

The pack liking Iruka more (and Pakkun in particular teasing Kakashi over it)

Kakashi wanting to ask for love advice but his options are Gai or Genma and he'd rather chew Orochimaru's hair than ask either of them (he still gets advice, though, because they can see he's struggling)

The Hokage of the moment just Knowing ™ (Gaydar no Jutsu seems to be a requirement for Hokage)

Damn, they’re just so 😩😩😩💞💞💞

I NEED more kakairu Yuri, please, I need them as two silly high school students, please 🥺🥺🥺

I think that requesting something from me is like a monkey's paw; there is a chance you can get the request, but most of the time, there is a twist.

I love delinquents... IN FICTION

I always end doodling a delinquent in no matter what fandom I end.

Don't worry, in school both are role students, it's just outside when they act unhinged)?
