Summary
“Yes, Tsunade-sama. Though, could I ask why I was chosen for this specifically?” Iruka stumbles out.
His Hokage lets out a thoughtful hmmm before replying. “If you can handle almost 30 pre-genin, I think you’re proficient enough to handle one Hatake Kakashi. I also heard that you guys have been frequently exchanging letters?”
Iruka flushes, thinking about how the Copy-Nin would occasionally give him letters from Naruto at the Mission Desk when he was handing in his reports or sometimes at Ichiraku, where they would talk about Naruto’s progress and exchange stories about him. The sparse interactions he had with the man were nice, and usually brought him to a more content mood after reading Naruto’s letters and knowing that he was doing well.
Tsunade simply smiles at his expression.
“Am I wrong?”
He shakes his head. It was probably best that he didn’t tell people about Naruto’s letters so he wouldn’t be in danger, however slim the chance.
(Or, where Iruka has to take care of a stubborn Kakashi and realises he's pining.)
