Ch 9
It had been a whole year and a half since the day that Anko had come into his life. For a year they were just really great friends. And then that friendship blossomed into love. For the last 6 months, Kakashi had felt true love for the first time, and it was really changing him. He found himself not reading his book all of the time while he was out, and he caught himself smiling from time to time. Guy would shout to him about being more youthful, and he could feel it as well. It was like the love he had with Anko allowed him to become happier in his day-to-day. He also found himself spending less time at the stone for the dead shinobi of Konoha, which made him feel better. Him and Anko had become the talk of Konoha within the gossiping circles; they all knew that they were together. The funniest parts were Anko scolding Kakashi for something and chasing down the copy ninja with a kunai, which really livened up Konoha. Hi Kakashi, good morning. Hi Anko, good morning. I actually want to talk to you about something I want to leave. Now Kakashi, who was in love, just felt his heart drop to the floor because he thought that he was about to be broken up with. I want to leave Konoha and go to the Mist to help support Itachi's dream. I actually was thinking this for a while, but then we started to become friends, and now we are a couple. But I really feel like I have been living a life that is not exactly the way I want it. I am sorry to put you in this position because I know you love Konoha, but I really feel like I must leave. I must leave because I know what it is like to be an outsider because I was betrayed by Orichimaru's lies. And the lies of this village helped cover those things up. I really feel like the way that Itachi wants to build the world is correct. Kakashi was stunned because he had a very strong loyalty to the village of Konoha for a very long time. He used to even have a borderline unhealthy need for the village's approval after all of his loved ones died and he had nothing else to hold on to. But Kakashi had learned that he did not need to rely on the past to enjoy life. His life goal now was to have a family and be a father and a good husband. And he knew that he had a rare opportunity with Anko to have someone who could possibly give those things to him. But his sensei was the 4th Hokage. How would he feel about him leaving the village? That would be bad; he then realized that he was living in the past and he was no longer the genin that watched his genin team members die. He was different now; his life had changed him into a man who had to make decisions based on the path in life that he wanted to take. But there was one regret that he had to face. And that regret was his sensei's son. He remembered watching over Kushina, who was Minato's wife, while she was pregnant. That time frame really helped him heal from being in the ANBU at such a young age. He got to see the love that the Yondaime Hokage had for Kushina each day. And how that child was going to grow up as the pride and joy of Konoha. That child was going to be the prince of Konoha. He was going to grow up with the same attention and respect as a Senju child would. But then when the 9 tails attacked the little prince had to become a jinjuriki for the 9 tails demon fox. He was told when the child was born that he would be an orphan so that nobody would know his lineage. And Kakashi did not protest, did not say anything back, and just said, Yes, Hokage-sama. And in his mind, that excuse of you not being allowed to raise him gave him false comfort. Why should he be mad at himself when he can not do anything? But now he cannot help but think of himself as a failure during that time frame because he did not fight for the son of someone who he viewed as a father figure after his own father passed away. That would make him someone who is supposed to be like a big brother to Naruto, and what has he done for the kid? Absolutely nothing helping out the kid when he was being beaten; as an ANBU, it was his job. If any other kid was being beaten, he would have done the exact same thing because it was his job. He had seen the kid unconscious in a pool of blood. He had seen his apartment broken into and all of his things scattered everywhere. He had seen the child not be able to buy things in the market for himself. He saw the sadness the kid had. The kid was hated for the fox inside him, and nobody knew he was Yondaime's child. The child who was supposed to be the prince of Konoha was treated in ways that were unlike the ways that any child or human being should ever be treated. And he knew that the child just needed someone he could trust, and he should have been that since he was born. Kakashi knew what he needed to do. He needed to protect Naruto for the rest of his life and care for him. Even if Naruto hated him, he had to at least protect him. But if Naruto gave him a chance to be in his life, then he would take it and do a good job at it. If Naruto wanted to, he would take him to the hidden mist village with him and Anko. It would make sense for Naruto to leave because nobody is abused or lied to more than Naruto. But if Naruto knew the truth about Minato, he might stay. Kakashi knew that he needed to tell Naruto about Minato so that Naruto could make a decision with all of the facts.Anko I do want to go to the mist with you because I think we can build a family together. I know that it will be hard to cut the ties that I have in the village, but I will do it to build a future with you. Sadly, there is one thing that I need to do in Konoha. What is that? I must talk to Naruto. He is the biggest failure that I have committed since the 9 tails attack. I know you do not know this, but Naruto is Minato's son. He is more than just the 9-tailed jinchuriki. Anko was absolutely stunned that the child of a Hokage was treated like a demon. If that is true, then it makes my resolve to leave for a place without lies even stronger. Because if it were not for lies, then the child of Minato would have been treated a lot more differently without the lies. I completely understand why you must go and try to make amends with your sensei's son. Yeah, you are definitely right, Anko. I love you. I love you too, Kakashi.
Kakashi started to head to Naruto's apartment, but he did not see the child at home, which was surprising since it was nighttime. He then went to where he heard Naruto would go, which was the Hokage mountain. Naruto was sitting on the Hokage mountain thinking about him leaving Konoha and how this Itachi guy seemed so cool. Naruto saw a tall, gray-haired young man appear right in front of him, and he felt himself tense and got ready to try to run away. When people beat him up, usually the shinobi would be much harder to run away from, so he was getting ready to run away from the gray-haired man. I am not going to hurt you; I only want to talk to you. My name is Kakashi Hatake. I am an ANBU, so we met while I was wearing my ANBU mask, Naruto. I sadly have made many mistakes in my life, and you are one of them. I want you to know that I do not expect any special treatment from you, and if you wish to hate me, then I understand. I will be leaving soon, and you must know before I leave. I am going to tell you things that will be very surprising to you. I knew your father and mother very well, and I have a lot of regret not doing this earlier. You Naruto are the 9-tailed Jinjuriki and the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Naruto felt extreme shock; finally now he was understanding why people would hate him if he had something to do with the 9 tails. What is a jinchuriki? A jinchuriki is when a biju is put into a child through a seal so that the biju is restrained and the child becomes very strong and can have special abilities. So all of those times that people called me a demon fox is because I am the demon fox? No, you are not the fox; it is sealed inside you like a kunia in a scroll. Oh, okay, that makes sense. And also I have never heard of those two ninjas in my books. What rank were my parents? Wow, I guess the rumors of Naruto not being the brightest bulb were not wrong. You are sitting on his head. Minato Namikaze was the Yondaime Hokage, and Kushina was a jonin-level ninja who was the jinjuriki before you. Naruto started to have tears streaming down his eyes because he now knew the truth. He had only known hatred from everyone. To go from that to someone who was the son of a kage was the most shocking thing. He knew that his parents were dead, but now at least he would not have to wonder if his parents were alive. He did feel pride in being someone who was the son of a Kage, but it made him hate the people who treated him so poorly even more. Why has nobody told me those things? Because people would try to kill you if they found out because of the war with the land of earth. And Minato was my sensei, and I am sorry that I was not in your life up until now. Even though I am not allowed to adopt you, I can visit you when I am not on missions and pick you up from school sometimes. Naruto was crying even more now because the idea of having someone looking out for him and that someone he could trust that was an adult was something that he had always wanted. I am going to be leaving in 6 months, though, to the mist village. I can not stay here. Who is taking you? I am not allowed to tell it is a secret. I made a promise, and I always keep my promises! Okay, well, what if I told you I am leaving to go to the mist as well? How about this: you do not have to tell me their names, but was it someone from your school? Yes, it is. Okay, that makes sense. I will leave with you to the mist when you leave. I have to go now. I will see you tomorrow if I do not have a mission. Okay, thank you for telling me about my parents. Yes, Naruto, your life will be very different from here on.
Shikaku Nara It is so nice to see you. Kakshi Why did you come over to my house at this troublesome hour? Well, I just wanted to talk about the watery Yondaime's legacy. Shikaku felt a jolt in his spine and realized that he was talking about Naruto and the mist village, which is where he is taking him. Why do you want to talk about the Yondaime's legacy, Kakashi? Well, I am going to start looking after him, and he told me something interesting. And I just wanted to talk to you about me liking water as much as you liking water. Kakashi Hatake wants to leave and go to the mist; he is a very loyal ninja. I do know that him and Anko are together, so I could see a scenario where she would want to leave, and he went with her. Well, this could go two ways. Either he was sent by the Hokage to try to figure out that my clan and other clans are going to the hidden mist village. But he would not have used the word Naruto if he was trying to bait me because he would not have had that conversation with Naruto just to do research to see if I am planning to leave. He would probably pressure my son or a clansman to give him that information, which means that he must be telling the truth. Sure, you can come in and talk about your water taste. Thank you, Shikaku-sama. I am going to be watching over Naruto, and Anko wants to leave to go to the mist, so I will go with them. Naruto did not tell me that you were going to the mist, but he did tell me that he is going with a student. And if he was asking other students about going to the mist, I would have already heard about it, and he would be under watch. And the only person in that room full of 8 year old kids who would be able to read that Naruto would want to leave would be your son, which led me here. So when are you leaving? In 6 months, and it is not just me; the Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Aburame are all leaving. Shikaku could see the stunned look in Kakashi's eyes. 4 of the great clans of Konoha are leaving all at once? Yes, they are, even though it is troublesome. Okay, just send someone to my house the day before so I can get ready to leave. Actually, since you are here, I wanted to talk about getting Naruto a gift from his father before we leave. And I am sure that the Jonnin commander would know where it is.
Naruto was at the end of his day in school, and he was thinking about his talk yesterday with Kakashi. That one guy with the gray hair really said that I was the son of the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha. I am so furious at people for treating me so badly because my father died for this village. I know that I have the 9 tails inside of me, which is why they beat me growing up. How does that not get outweighed by the fact that I am the son of the Yondaime Hokage? Did he not do enough for this village? I do not want to talk to anyone anymore since I know that it is pointless. Nobody has ever cared about me on a consistent basis before, and nobody ever will. I have been beaten by a lot of drunk people. I am sure that the gray-haired man was just drunk and spilled the truth. He probably will never talk to me again. Nobody in this world is just good or nice just to be nice. I used to think that I would become something great and earn everyone's trust, but what is the point? My father was the hokage, and his son gets beaten and has to be an orphan. Like, how does that even happen? How would me trying to gain everyone else's trust and respect work when my father was a hokage, but his son gets beaten up? ringggggg . Class is dismissed; do not forget to continue your shuriken throwing practice. Well, it is time to go home. The worst part about leaving class is watching all of the other kids get to meet their parents after school. Yeah, that gray-haired man will not be here either. It is best not to get my hopes up.Naruto was walking out of the gate of the school into the street when he heard, Hi, Naruto. Naruto turned and saw the gray-haired man he saw the other day. Hi Kakashi, What are you doing here? I told you when I am not working that I will pick you up from the academy. How was your day? Naruto felt something tighten in his chest, and then he felt watery eyes and looked away; it was good; he didn't really remember what they talked about today. Naruto felt a brief warmth on his shoulder, and it was Kakashi who had his hand on his shoulder and said, You will never have to walk home again alone while I am not on missions because you are my little brother. Naruto hugged Kakashi while crying and then felt himself being picked up by the gray-haired man. Ma Ma , I am going to take you to my house so you can meet Anko. Anko, we are home! Hi, you must be Naruto. It is so nice to meet you. Come on in; I will make some tea, and we can talk. Oooo, I have a question: What was my dad like? Well, your dad was very protective and gentle with people he cared about. He also would be very strict as a sensei. I got scolded by your father so many times. And these types of stories would go on for the rest of the day. Naruto felt his anger that he was feeling that day get replaced by a foreign feeling that can only be described as home. A place that he could go to talk about his stress and be protected from others. It was a very foreign idea to him, but he actually felt like his smiles through story after story became more and more real.
Next chapter we are going to be in the mist village!!!
