Lesson 00: Prologue
Kanoha orphanage| Six months before the Kyuubi attack
We find ourselves in front of the orphanage. There stood two figures. One was a tall lean man with gravity defying silver hair, and a headband with a leaf symbol, signifying his status as a ninja of the leaf, across his left eye. The man was wearing blue shinobi pants, blue shinobi sandals, a dark blue-black long sleeve shirt, black fingerless gloves with metal plates on both, the standard Jonin flack jacket, and lastly a mask that went up to the top of his nose.
The second figure was a short woman. She was the director of the orphanage.
"Mr. Hatake, are you sure that you want to go through with this? Once you sign the adoption papers there is no going back. Do you understand that, Kakashi?" Asked the director.
"I've never been more sure about anything in my life. I want this and this child needs a father." Replied the man now known as Kakashi Hatake.
Once that was said the two went inside. Kakashi signed the aforementioned adoption papers. He had officially became the father of a two year old boy.
The boy was quite unique in terms of appearance. He had spiky yet shaggy hair like that of an Inuzuka. The color of his hair stood out, it was silver, so much so that it made Kakashi's look white, with a single black streak that went down to the root of his head. The second thing was his almost neon-ice blue eyes.
"Now what to name you? Lets see, Saito… nah. Jiro, defiantly not. Ah-ha, I know, I'll call you Kage Kotei. You like that?"
You see despite being an orphan and not knowing what his first name was, they knew his last name was Kotei. The last of the Kotei clan, one of the lesser known founders of Kanohagakure or Kanoha for short.
"Ok then Kage Kotei it is. Congrats, Kakashi Hatake you are now a father."
Hokage's office| one hour later
Sitting behind a desk buried beneath a metric-shit-ton of paper work, the one enemy no Kage could ever hope to defeat save for one man was Minato Namikaze, the forth Hokage and his pregnant wife by 4 months, Kushina Uzumaki a.k.a. the red habanero.
As Minato was signing papers with a speed that made the Hirashin look as slow as a snail the door to his office was practically blown down startling both him and Kusina. Standing before the two was none other than Kakashi Hatake and his newly adopted son.
"For the love of Kami-sama, Kakashi don't do tha… is that a toddler in your arms?"
"Sorry, Sensei. It's-you see I-I want you both to meet my son, Kage Kotei."
Dumbfounded by the declaration as well as the sight, Minato and Kushina just stood there stunned.
"Uh… congrats." Said Kushina finally composing herself.
For the six months to come Kakashi would be the most happiest person in the whole of Kanoha.
Time skip| during the Kyuubi attack
As the Kyuubi continued its rampage the whole village was in a state of chaos. People and ninja alike being killed.
On this day four great losses would occur. The first being the destruction of the village. The second being the death of the fourth Hokage. The third being the sealing of the Kyuubi into the son of Minato and Kushina, Naruto Uzumaki. The forth would hit one person more that any other. Kakashi Hatake had lost his son in all the chaos. The only good thing was that he knew his son wasn't dead, someone had kidnaped him.
This would lead to a sad time for all. Yet, unbeknownst to all, this would actually be the start of a great many things to come. After all, you have to fall down first before you can stand and rise.
