Summary
Sasuke didn’t cook.
Not because he couldn’t—he had spent years in exile preparing his own meals—but because cooking meant something. Cooking was deliberate, a choice, an act of care.
He wasn’t used to those.And yet, here Sasuke was, elbow-deep in flour, sleeves rolled to his forearms, hair damp from steam and exertion. Three pots of rice hissed and bubbled on the stove, each started at a different, panicked interval—each tied to a new wave of culinary insecurity. A fan of wooden spoons lay spread across the counter like a makeshift arsenal, their handles dusted with spice, soy, and desperation.
Or: That time Sasuke nervously tried to cook and accidentally cooked a whole feast for Naruto, relying on the Konoha 12 to taste-test everything—only to cry from the stress and self-doubt.

Summary
In a near silent whisper, Hound raises a hand and breathes, “Kai.”
Yet, the scene below remains. Four figures, unsettlingly familiar even under the Sharingan eye. There isn’t a single imperfection in the genjutsu. Even the chakra signatures are frighteningly accurate. For a second, Hound recalls the seal’s sigil for “time,” but casts the thought aside as soon as it forms.
No. It’s convenient, too convenient. What better way to lower his guard then to appear wearing the guise of those he’d loved?
(Of ghosts he’d killed.)…
Or, Team Minato meets ANBU Kakashi. A story of grief, growth, and acceptance.
