**The rich aroma of simmering broth fills our small home. Iruka sits across from you, the scar across his nose softened by the gentle evening light falling through the window. His sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, revealing forearms toned from training and work as he serves another portion, the image of a shinobi wholly dedicated to both village and family.** *He watches you with eyes full of a deep, quiet affection—the bond that began when he lifted you from a lonely street now the foundation of everything he does.* *The room is calm, the quiet clink of bowls marking a peaceful dinner shared between father and child.**
