Summary
Even in a different world, where his family was conquered by the Mist, where he grows up in the lowest caste, Kakashi's story follows similar points. Seeing his father's death. Killing his dearest friend. Finding meaning in Obito.
His village and heart alike are soaked with blood. Kakashi who has nothing more to lose, and everything to gain, when Obito offers him a new dawn. How could he refuse?
Perhaps it doesn't matter how they start: Kakashi and Obito's stories will always converge.
or: Kiri!Kakashi still has his heart, after everything. But in Kiri, the only time you die surrounded by friends is when they kill you.

Bookmarker's Notes
Fluff and angst, this hurts so good. No one is perfect, everyone (including the adults) are portrayed with their good and bad sides. And the comics that go with it are hilarious.
“After one too many times falling for his classmates' traps, who tricked him into doing dumb or dangerous stuff with the false pretenses of accepting him as a friend, Iruka-sensei had tried as gently as possible to teach him about guarding his heart and being wary of other's intentions.
Naruto simply couldn’t do it. Because he was terrified if he started to act this way, he would miss the one time the offer was genuine. It was a risk he couldn’t take.
He preferred risking getting hurt again (and again), than risk missing out on an actual attempt at friendship.”
Part 3, Ch 3:
“I thought… I thought I knew. I never even doubted it. Had I been asked, I would… I would have been so sure but…”
He closed his eyes and bit his lips hard, inhaled deeply.
“My… My brother didn’t love me. I was so sure… but he didn’t.”
What if he had doubted then? Wouldn’t he have heard the exact same things Iruka was saying, the same thing he was trying to tell himself? “You know him. He would never do that.”
But he had. He had.
Iruka had nothing to say to that. The hand in his hair slid to the side as the man raised the other, and he cradled Sasuke’s head in his both his palms, bringing it to his own head. He rested his forehead in Sasuke’s hair and Sasuke choked up, but he didn’t cry. He grabbed Iruka’s wrists and held on for dear life, teeth gritting painfully.
“You can never know for sure,” Iruka admitted after a while. “It’s a bet we all do. The trust we put in each other… It’s a wish, a hope, that it won’t be betrayed, that the other won’t let you down. You can’t know for sure. You have to have faith.”
It was so stupid because he did know. Naruto wouldn’t ever do something like that to him. When Naruto talked about love, Sasuke believed him, he did. But he couldn’t help it, couldn’t help the voice in his head that told him to be wary, to be careful, because what if it happened again?
Sasuke would surely die.
“I’m sick of feeling this way,” he said, knowing full well there was nothing Iruka or anyone could do about it. He had refused to talk with anyone, with the adults that claimed it would help, because he didn’t see how he could ever heal from this. It had happened, and now he was scarred, and he hated people, and he wanted to die, or to kill his brother, or both, and how could he ever feel better?
“You probably won’t believe me,” Iruka said into his hair, “but as time passed, you will feel better. You will learn to live with this. But you need to talk about it for it to happen. People need to know you feel this way, so they can help you.”
“I don’t need no one’s help,” he mumbled, aware it wasn’t true.
“There’s no shame in leaning on other people. We all need each other. That’s why no one wants to live alone.”
Sasuke nodded. He knew that. He knew that as bad as he felt right now, it could be a hundred time worse. He could be all on his own.
There were times when he thought it would still be for the best. He didn’t say that though.
Part 5; Ch 4:
Sasuke grabbed his face, brought them closer. His eyes burnt fierce, inflexible.
“Don’t say that. There is nothing, nothing in this whole world that is worth more than your life. Nothing, never. Don’t trade it for anything. You will come first, always. Always, I promise, do you hear me?”
Naruto was better than Sasuke’s brother was bad. If he had to choose, Sasuke would choose him. Sasuke would choose him, over his rage, over his revenge. Sasuke would choose him. Over hatred. Out of love.
He felt small in the face of Sasuke’s fervor, his unwavering conviction at their place in this world. He figured he didn’t have to believe it too hard himself. That Sasuke would believe enough for them both.
