Summary
In a shinobi's world, the line between good and evil is often written in blood and shadow. Hatake Kakashi learned this truth not as a philosophy, but through a lifetime of loss, his ideals forged in the fire of battlefield betrayals and hard-won loyalty. He knew the face of the enemy, and he had long ago made peace with the monsters etched in Konoha's history.
But when a near-fatal injury leads to an impossible rescue, Kakashi is forced to question the very foundation of his reality. Trapped in a fragile ceasefire with the man he swore was a demon, every quiet moment and professional courtesy chips away at the monstrous legend. The efficient healer tending his wounds bears no resemblance to the psychopath of the stories.
Now, the greatest threat is not death, but the devastating revelation that the truth he holds so certain may be nothing more than an illusion.
|| OR when a solo mission went wrong and death came to claim him on a dark, stormy afternoon, Kakashi didn't expect to wake up sheltered and patched up. If his confusion wasn't enough, Uchiha Itachi's presence did nothing to answer his questions.
