    Summary

    When Kakashi Hatake finally wrangled his way out of the Hokage’s office, he expected freedom. No paperwork. No councils. No schedules. Just naps, novels, and the quiet life he’d been dreaming of.

    The price? A symbolic union with his successor.

    Apparently, Konoha looks more “stable” if the Sixth Hokage abdicates not only with a successor… but with a wife. And since the Seventh is none other than Uzumaki Naruto—his former student, his comrade, his loudest headache—the council insists on binding them together in name, if not in love.
    Naruto, naturally, thinks it’s simple. “Easy deal. You get retirement, I get the hat. Don’t overthink it, Kakashi-sensei.”

    So they marry. Not in love. Not pretending otherwise. Just Hokage and ex-Hokage, sensei and student, comrades who’ve fought side by side—now bound by a vow neither of them asked for.

    It should’ve been easy. Until, quietly, it isn’t.
