  Summary

  Kakashi was thrusted into fatherhood unexpectedly from a drunken (and frankly depressing) night. Now, he has to fight to chase his demons away to give his child the best childhood than he ever had. She becomes the balm to soothe his rough upbringing. And as she grows in the ninja world, she comes to realize it is not all about missions, growing stronger, and perfecting jutsus. Healing is what is needed in a world where children are considered adults at the tender age of 12.
