Summary
Tsunade’s words slice as sharp as a scalpel, each one sliding into the softest parts of him with lethal accuracy. “Don’t forget that Sasuke might not want to return willingly,” she says evenly. “You must be prepared to kill him first.”
“And then,” she adds, “you can use what you have learnt to save him.”
Under the Fifth Hokage’s tutelage, as Tsunade’s apprentice, Uzumaki Naruto learns the art of healing.

Summary
The time has come for Naruto to choose a husband – surely, out of twenty-four men from twelve different villages, he’ll be able to find the love of his life?
Unfortunately for him, the love of his life is less enthusiastic about the whole thing.
(Good thing neither of them has any common sense.)

Summary
When the Rokudaime finds himself without an assistant, Iruka begrudgingly steps up to the plate as a replacement. He convinces himself of two things: that the position is only temporary, and that his long-harbored feelings surely won’t get in the way of serving his new hokage.
…Exactly how long he can keep up that charade is another matter entirely.
