Summary
The life of a ninja is a dangerous one, doubly so if you belong to one of the lesser, smaller villages. When Waterfall is overrun by Rock, young Chūnin Umino Iruka is tasked to flee to Fire Country with his village's two most precious assets; their young prince, Shibuki, and the jinchūriki of the Shichibi, Fū. He's hardly surprised when Fire allows them to citizenship - the draw of a second jinchūriki is a strong incentive. Building a life in a new country is hard, but Iruka is determined to full fill his last mission as a Waterfall-nin; provide a happy, healthy home for his charges. Everything is going well - until he meets Uzumaki Naruto.
Suddenly, Iruka is a single father of three at sixteen, living with what has to be the strangest, rudest (and attractive) Alphas he's ever met; Hatake Kakashi.

Summary
Kakashi's life had a routine; wake up, train, hover around the memorial stone, go on shift or leave for a mission, be bored out of his mind (for the first), kill a lot of people (for the second), come home, drink with his teammates, go to sleep in his shoebox of an apartment. Repeat. Kakashi had a routine; he liked his routine. It was comfortable, familiar. So when the Hokage suddenly orders him to open the old Hatake Compound and move in with a strange Omega and three children, he's not happy. Even if the Omega is kinda of cute.

Summary
Not that Hatake Iruka would ever would know it, but his arrival in the village all those years go irreparably changed the face of the Leaf forever. A clan heir stolen, marriages arranged, a mystical tree planted, clans decimated and strengthened. The balance of power is shifting in the village, with the Hatake at the epicenter of it all. Not everyone is happy about it and it'll be their children that will face of the brunt of it all. But that's okay; he and Kakashi raised them to be strong. Naruto in particular isn't afraid. He's ready to show the whole village just how strong the Hatake Clan is. Believe it.
