Review:
Iruka is supposed to meet Kakashi for a date, but instead of an amorous Jonin, he meets one that seems intend on killing him. Unsure about what is going on, he has to use all his skills to run for his life.

As I am sure you're quite tired of hearing by now, one of the aspects that most appeal to me in Naruto fics are the repercussions of being a ninja. "Hunter's Moon" explores one of the most interesting facets of this: what happens when you are forced to face in battle the ones you love?

I love how Kakashi and Iruka are portrayed in the fic. Kakashi is not heartless, but he puts the safety of the village before anything else. Iruka's level of skill is handled competently - he is neither an incompetent fool or a super powered ninja hiding under the guise of a simple school teacher. All in all, it is not hard to see why this story is considered to be one of the classics of the Kakashi/Iruka ship.

For those that like doujinshins, a manga version of the fic, drawn by Lei-Sam, can be found (with pages out of chronological order) on her gallery at deviantart.
