Kakashi's Legacy
Chapter 1
My name is Kasaru Hatake and I am the number one genin of Konoha. I don't say it with boastfulness but with lots of humility. I wish not to be as powerful as I am. People expect too much from me. But I can see why. My father was the 6th Hokage, Kakashi of the Sharingan. And my mother is the spokes person for all of the ANBU black ops in Konoha. I have very tall shadows that cover me wherever I go. All I hear is honorable son of the 6th Hokage or Yugao-senpai's son. I want to be just Kasaru-san or Kasaru-kun.
"Kasaru," shouted my mother from the kitchen."Dinners ready," I came down from my room to eat. I sat down at the dining room table across from my mother. There was an empty seat between us where my father used to sit before my parents split up. "So you went to see your sister today," she asked really wanting to know about my dad? You see my father cheated on my mom when she was pregnant with me. And to make matters worse she didn't find out until she saw Noemi at the academy with me. She says there is without a doubt that Noemi is the daughter of my dad.
"Yeah, we're leaving for a mission together and she wanted to work on our combination jutsu," my mom looked up.
"Combination jutsu of what," she asked slurping up the ramen from the bowl.
"Well I use my water element jutsu to get my opponent wet and she combines her lightning to increase her attack ten folds. Our timing is close; we still need a lot of practice," my mom just smiled at me. "What's so amusing mom," I asked?
"You just reminded me of an old friend named Hayate. We had a combination jutsu just like you and your sister," she began to cry moments later. She quickly wiped away he tears.
"Did you love him mom? More than dad," I asked? She didn't reply but I didn't push the issue.
"Go to sleep Kasaru you have a B-ranked mission tomorrow. I need to go somewhere," I finished my dinner and went to bed but I wanted to know what my mom "needed" to do. When she left I followed her leaving through my window. She was holding flowers and crying. It hurt me to see her like this. I followed her all the way to the K.I.A memorial stone. To my surprise my father was there as well. I snuck closer to hear what they were saying.
"Did you come to pay respect to Hayate," my father asked?
"Yes. And you Obito," she asked laying down the flowers?
"I can't stop regretting the mistakes of my life. All Obito asked was that I protect her and I couldn't even do that. And then Noemi," my father looked down shaking his head in disapproval of himself.
"Noemi is not a mistake. You always loved Anko. You and I were just…" I jumped out of the bushes cutting her off.
"You were just a what? You were a couple with a kid, a family! Why did you cheat on mom? Do you know how embarrassing it is when kids ask why me and Noemi don't have the same mom," I asked screaming at him?
"Kasaru I didn't even notice you were here that's very impressive. You're more stealthy than most of the Chunin. You know the Chunin exams are coming up," he said changing the subject.
"It seems Kakashi that you and Kasaru need a heart to heart. He can spend the night with you and Anko," my mom left in the direction of our house. I just began walking to his house not wanting to chat.
"Kasaru please let me explain," he asked following me.
"Explain to me what a freak like Anko has over my mom," he stopped shocked at my rudeness.
"Don't talk about her like that," he said defending her!
"Why," I asked?
"Because I love her," he said making me vomit in my mouth.
"No. Why did you leave us Dad. I need you. I don't know how to tie a tie, I don't know how to do your signature jutsu, and I don't know how to talk to girls without blushing. I need you more than Noemi," for the first time in my life I saw my father cry.
"I'm sorry son from the bottom of my heart. I am only a human. Yes I was Hokage but that doesn't make me perfect. I made a mistake I can't fix. But I will make it up to you," and then he came and gave me a hug. I finally was able to forgive him for cheating on my mother.
"I forgive you dad," I could see him smile from his mask.
"Thanks, now just don't tell anyone I cried," I began to laugh as we walked through the door.
"What are you doing here Kasaru," Noemi asked putting down her scroll titled Lightning element lvl2?
"I needed some male bonding. Moms getting a little too hormonal," I said elbowing my dad.
"I want to bond too dad," Noemi said smiling.
"Well it wouldn't be much of male bonding if you were a part of it would it," Anko asked coming from the backroom. Noemi just picked up her scroll and began studying some more. My dad and I went into the family room to have some "male bonding."
