Author’s Note – The reaction to chapter nine was incredible, and I’m so very flattered by the compliments I was given. I truly hope I continue to deliver in regards to making this tale one that everyone enjoys.
I must apologize for the length of time to get this chapter out. As most of my readers now, I’m fighting health issues and trying to get something that will work for me. Add to that, family issues have slowed things down as well. There’s a lot of drama going on, which makes focusing on certain stories next to impossible to do.
Thank you to all who took the time to review and share your thoughts. You really made things enjoyable for me during the stressful time I’ve been going through. I hope everyone enjoys this installment.

Chapter Ten – Progress
It had not taken long for Kakashi to get the paperwork filled out and given to the Hokage, legally adopting Itachi and Sasuke as his sons. Fortunately, the full moon had arrived shortly after the legal issues had been handled and he had conducted the ritual before the news of the survival of the boys was released to the village. The protection of blood was something imperative, and he wouldn’t fail them.
Iruka had listened to his concerns, often giving answers when needed but mostly had just been there to hear him out. It was a bit of a worry in regards to raising three boys, but the Chunin had pointed out that it would give Naruto companions and playmates as well as friends in the two. The main issue though was the abuse the two former Uchiha children had gone through.
Sasuke should be easier considering his younger age and the fact that Naruto was there to help push him into smiling more. Itachi, however, would require a bit more and Kakashi knew he would probably need to find a counselor for the boys. He knew a few in Anbu that might be able to aid them. Between that, a lot of love, and time, both he and Iruka were hopeful that they’d be able to mesh the boys into their family unit and help the pair adjust and heal.
The Jonin leaned against a tree, watching his family as Iruka and Naruto dragged the other two boys into a game that had been devised to make training fun for children. His eye fell onto the newcomers into the Hatake clan, observing the signs of change within the two.
Both boys had taken on the slender frame of the Hatake clan with hints of the height that the men of the clan were known for. Itachi’s hair had taken on a silver sheen, softening the deep black of the long hair that the six year old kept partially tied back. Sasuke had taken on quite a bit of the Hatake traits as his hair went from the odd spikes in the back to the wild spikes that Kakashi had, and the child’s hair turned silver with black highlights. Truthfully, it was an adorable look for both boys and it made the Jonin smile each time he spotted his new sons.
The fall-out from the news of the adoption hadn’t been as bad as the Hokage had feared. The clans that had a form of bloodline trait had supported him during council meetings, effectively shutting down any complaints from the other members that had wanted the two orphans. The leader of Konoha, Kakashi, and the supporting clan heads had effectively told the others that if news got out about the two boys, the group would go looking for the culprit and the results would not be favorable.
It seemed as if the warnings had taken root in fertile soil because there had been no whispers of any survivors of the Uchiha Massacre, and that was how Kakashi and his supporters wanted it. The boys needed a new start, and they were ensuring the children got just that.
The biggest concern had been Itachi as he’d manifested his Sharingan before all of this had happened. The adoption had changed that, much to Kakashi’s surprise. The red iris that appeared when the trait was active had shifted to blue, and it seemed that the normal abilities had altered as well. Itachi had reported that he could see chakra flowing to a point and though he could remember the jutsu being used, he was unable to reproduce it without spending time practicing and refining it. He could see through genjutsu, which was a positive thing in the elder Hatake’s mind.
If he was honest with himself, Kakashi was pleased with the alterations they’d noticed with Itachi’s eyes. He was a believer in hard work, something his father had planted in him and Minato-sensei had reinforced, and most of Uchiha clan had coasted off of what their eyes could do. The ability to replicate something right away had irked him, though the gift had saved his life a few times during missions.
According to his bond brother, the eyes had been restricted so that the deadly phases would never be reached. His sons would not face the risk of madness, and he was grateful for that.
A burst of laughter drew him from his thoughts, making him laugh when he realized that Iruka had caught Sasuke and was tickling him. It was a beautiful sight, making his heart swell with warmth. He adored his family and was so very grateful to Minato-sensei for believing in him, enabling him to have this.
The Chunin burst into laughter when he was play tackled by Naruto and Itachi, though the older boy had been dragged into the attack by the little ball of sunshine. The two boys tickled the adult, encouraging the rich laughter that filled the training yard. This was a sound that Kakashi could listen to the rest of his life and never become tired of hearing it.
“All right,” he called out. “Time for the pups to go and wash up; it’s time for lessons.”
The trio hurried into the house, leaving the two adults to tidy up the mess in the yard. The training tools were put away, and the toys were placed into the outdoor toy box that Iruka had made to store the play items.
“You seemed far away earlier,” the Chunin began, watching the other adult. “Is everything all right?”
“Was thinking how pleased I am over the changes so far,” Kakashi answered. “The boys are settling in fairly well, and Naru-chan adores them. It’s been going well, and I hope it will continue to stay that way.”
“I was thinking we should get Itachi in to talk to someone,” Iruka ventured. “I know the Hokage has removed the fast track for the kids of higher IQ, but he’ll need it before going back to the Academy.”
“I had the same idea,” the silver haired male replied. “If what I know of the clan is true, he’s going to need help to break through the shell they tried to put him into. I want him to be a happy, well rounded child.”
“So do I,” the other agreed. “All three of them deserve it, and we’ll just have to keep doing our best to ensure they have a very happy childhood. I think we’re doing a fairly good job at the moment.”
Kakashi nodded, closing the toy box as he did so. He looked over at the other male, smiling a bit as the sunlight made his darker skin glow.
“Iruka, are you adverse to same gender relationships?”
“No, love is love and no one should be penalized for falling in love with someone the same gender as they are,” he pointed out. “Why do you ask?”
“It’s a topic we’ve never really discussed,” the Jonin began. “And it’s been preying on my mind lately since I was hoping you’d be open to going out on a date with me sometime.”
Iruka’s smile gentled into a soft, shy one, and Kakashi gave a smile back to the other.
“Really?”
“Yes, Iruka, really. I’ve been thinking about it for a while and hope you’ll agree to go out with me.”
The smile brightened, and the long haired male nodded. His voice was full of happy delight, telling Kakashi that he’d done the right thing in asking.
“I would love to, Kakashi,” he answered, almost bouncing in excitement. “When do you want to do this?”
“Tomorrow night? I can ask and see if one of the Anbu members are free to babysit,” the other told him. “I think Neko or Hebi would be willing to do it; they both enjoyed it the last time they watched Naru-chan.”
“Why don’t you go ahead and send a message, see if they can do so? If not, maybe the commander can ask to see who wants to watch our kids for the evening. We’ll get free entertainment this afternoon when he announces it.”
Kakashi started laughing, shaking his head. He remembered the last time the normal babysitters had been off on missions. The commander had announced the request, asking for volunteers, and the next thing that happened was the huge argument on who was going to get to do it. Everyone was sparring against the others, fighting for the opportunity, and both he and Iruka had seen a lot of it due to their proximity to the Anbu training areas.
“I wonder if we could sell tickets for it,” the Jonin joked. “I should be able to get those book sets we need for the kids if I did that.”
“I’ve got that covered,” Iruka said with a soft laugh. “I did a few extra missions to get the sets as well as the other important items Sasuke and Itachi will need.”
“I didn’t realize you’d done that,” he said, leaning closer to the other. “We’ll be fine though as the Hokage is giving us extra help from the Uchiha funds. I told him to convert it into an Hatake account and keep it generating interest so the boys can use it when they’re older.”
“Good,” the Chunin answered. “They deserve any kind of head start they can get, and I say that for all of our boys.”
“Definitely,” Kakashi agreed. “Now, I need to talk to the Anbu Commander while you get the boys started on their lessons. I’ll see you in a bit.”
The silver haired male adjusted his mask and then headed out, leaving Iruka to stand at the door for a moment. He smiled, happy to know his interest in his housemate was returned, and hummed under his breath as he went to the study to begin the boys’ studies for the day.
Tomorrow would be wonderful, and he couldn’t wait!
Author’s End Note – I hope everyone has enjoyed this; I’m sorry it’s shorter than normal. After their first date, I’ll be doing some time skips to help things move forward. Now we have the answer to how the Hatake blood alters the Sharingan. I bounced the idea off of a friend of mine who adores the show and manga, and she loved what I did. I just hated the whole over powered aspect of the eyes and wanted to tame it somewhat. Anyway, I’ll see everyone next chapter! ~ Laran
