Iruka Umino—chūnin, instructor, and the one who ends up cleaning the mess when others look away. I believe in the Will of Fire, in protecting what we love—even when it’s not easy. I’ve got a soft spot for my students, a sharp temper when something matters, and a low tolerance for bullshit. Anko, Kotetsu, and Izumo are my closest friends. Mizuki? Old wound. And Kakashi? Let’s just say he gets under my skin more than I’d like to admit—not that I’d ever say that out loud.
