The Beginning

Kakashi laid in his bed staring up at the ceiling deep in thought. Kakashi didn't think of his past much, he really didn't like to think about it at all. He remembered his father barely, his best friend, and most of his boy hood. He loved and respected his father dearly all his life, until he lost his father due to a decision that would change his life forever. Kakashi had his hand over his face holding his left eye. He was unaware that he was shedding tears. He was thinking about his father and his best friend that actually forged his personality. The way that Kakashi acted now at the age of 27 was due to his best friend Uchiha Obito.

"Why did you have to leave me so soon in life father, why did you have to die Obito? And you Rin, why are you gone?" He thought to himself.

Kakashi looked around his room for a moment before he removed his hand from his face. He sat up slowly as he started to recall his past. It came to him like a bad dream. His father Hatake Sakumo was on a mission when Kakashi was nothing but a small boy in the Konoha academy. Sakumo was faced with an extremely hard decision; he had to choose either his companions or the success of the mission. Sakumo chose to save his friends lives, going against the village rules. The failure of the mission cost Konoha greatly, and the village and Sukumo's companions blamed him for the loss, even though he was the one who risked his life and honor to save him. Kakashi stood up from his seating position on the edge of his bed. He looked over towards the bathroom as his face was laid back and tired looking. He didn't show much feelings when he thought about what happened to his father. Kakashi walked over to the window to the side of the bed. He stared out of his window at the beautiful leaf village, as he began to recall his past again. He remembered that his father took his own life because he couldn't handle the dishonor. Sakumo was becoming weak physically and mentally. Kakashi soon was going through his years as a ninja since then following closely by the rules and regulations. Kakashi turned around and went to the bathroom as he ran his bath water. He stared at the water thinking about all his years in life, he remembered how his old friend Ibito used to act. Always late, and making up excuses all the time; and after the day that his friend died on the first day as a Jounin and as a commander. He was given Obito's left eye as a present and from there on he adopted Obito's personality. They became one. Kakashi turned off the water and got undressed. He got into the tub and relaxed. Today was the day that he needed to train the new genin graduates. He would meet his new team today.

Kakashi smiled as he rubbed his chest and stomach. He worked hard for his nice body and he was darn proud of it. He smirked as he an hour before he needed to go to meet the students. He would be late as always, that was his nature that he adopted after his friends passing. It was the least he can do for his friend, to carry on his memory. Kakashi looked around the bathroom and picked up one of his books. He had it in the bathroom; he couldn't get enough of the book. He picked up his book and began to read it.

"Come Come Paradise, I wonder what happens next?" He asked himself softly as he began to read it.

The time flew by quickly but he didn't care, he needed to meet his team at noon that day, and it was already eleven thirty. He didn't even take his bath yet, he was just soaking. It will take another forty five minutes for him once he takes his shower. He put down his book satisfied with his progress in the book. He stood up and drained the tub. He stepped out of the bath putting his book down. He grabbed his shampoo and a wash cloth as he turned around and turned the faucet on again. He ran the water till it got the desired temperature. Kakashi giggled a bit as he thought about the ending to the book he was reading, he ran the shower and got in. Finally he was done and late as ever. Kakashi finally got dressed after he got done brushing his teeth, and hair. He got dressed and made sure to grab a bit to eat, and put his book away into his pouch. He walked out the door and headed towards the academy where he would meet his team for the first time. He took his time and finally arrived in the academy where his team was waiting at. Naruto laughed as he set up a trap in the room. It was a simple trap; he put an eraser in the top of the door and shut it till it held it alone. He wanted to see if this elite ninja of theirs would be able to detect it or fall for this simple prank. Sakura was having a fit she was yelling at Naruto but her inner Sakura was yelling out.

"Heck ya this is good."

She loved the idea of what Naruto was doing but she didn't want to say anything. Sazuke was sitting there without saying anything to anyone. He was to busy being off in his own little world. Kakashi opened the door and poked his head in the room, the eraser fell on his head and he didn't say anything as Naruto laughed and Sakura began to apologize.

"So far I have come to this determination upon meeting you guys I hate you." He finished up while he looked at everyone before turning around and walking out of the class room.

"Let's go." He commanded in a lazy type of voice.

The three was in shocked at what he said and they followed after him. Kakashi took his team to a small location where he instructed them to sit down. They did take their places as they looked at him.

"Alright tell me what you guys are all about." Naruto looked on in confusion.

"Huh, what do you mean?" He wasn't the brightest out of all of them, but he was sure interesting.

"What is your name, your likes dislikes, hobbies. Stuff like that." He sighed as he looked at everyone who still had puzzle looks on their faces.

"Alright I will go first. My name is Hatake Kakashi; I am the type of guy who doesn't like to talk about his likes or dislikes. My dreams are none of your business, and sure I have lots of hobbies. Now it's your turn there on the right." He pointed to Naruto.

"So all we learned was his name?" Sakura whispered to everyone.

They nodded disappointed.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, I love cup ramen, and I really love when Umino Iruka treats me to the ramen." Naruto was still talking, as Kakashi looked off.

"Man he really likes ramen." He finished up while listening to Naruto again.

"I hate waiting the tree minutes after I pour in the boiling water. And my dreams are to Hokage one day, and the villagers will have no other choice but to acknowledge me." He smiled as she sat back down.

Kakashi looked at Naruto and smiled under his mask.

"This boy is interesting." He thought. He looked at Sasuke.

"Your turn, young man," He looked at Sazuke as Kakashi kept his arms crossed.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I have plenty of dislikes and they are none of your business, since I don't like many things. Dream is nothing but a word. My goal is to kill him." He finished up still sitting there with his hands crossed in front of his face and his elbows on his knees.

"To kill," Sakura asked puzzled like.

"Thought so," Kakashi thought to himself.

"Now you young lady," Sakura smiled.

"Well my name is Haruno Sakura, well I like, well it's not a thing, but a person, a boy. Oh well, hehe, on to my dreams. Well, what I hate is Naruto." She looked at Naruto as Naruto hung his head.

"So it seems that girls are more interested in boys than Genjutsu." He sighed at this thought.

He began to think about his book again, and then about other things. He was off in thought when he decided to end this meeting for today.

"Alright that's enough, tomorrow we start your training; survival training. Meet me on the bridge at five in the morning. Be there on time."

He smiled as she raised a hand and disappeared. With quickness he landed top of some buildings in the far distance as he jumped down to the streets below. He began to walk the streets reading his book, "Come Come Paradise," smiling.

To be continued…
