Summary
Seven years after the Kyuubi attack, the Sandaime Hokage’s sudden assassination threw Konoha into chaos, and at the end of the night, two factions arose in its shinobi forces: those who stayed and those who ran. Of those who ran, many were shinobi that the new administration denounced as traitors, deserters, and murderers.
Two years later, a ragged group of children who vanished the night of the Sandaime's assassination, who would have been raised in relative peace but instead grew up running, were recruited to fight a war for the homes they barely remembered.
In which Kakashi is forced to the forefront of yet another war, Itachi is given to maudlin internal monologues, Shisui alternates between coping and dissociating, and Zabuza wonders why he couldn’t have left the honor to the fucking samurai.

Summary
“One of you will be the Hokage after me,” the Sandaime says. His pipe lies smoking in an ashtray on the desk before him. “And the other will be the pillar who supports him.” This is not friendly supposition as to the future. This is a decree.
Itachi thinks of his brother and his parents and his clan, he thinks of a best friend who disappeared in the night and left corpses and his oaths behind, he thinks of a village at peace instead of haunted by the shadows of war, and says, “Hai.”
But Kakashi says, “With respect, I would rather not, Hokage-sama.”
To which the Sandaime says, “And if I make it an order?”
Kakashi’s face is perfectly bland. “No,” he says.
The Sandaime makes it an order.
(Itachi-centric: In which Itachi lives his Best Life and nobody wants to be Hokage.)
