Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Only the characters I created and the new story plot belong to me.
I am the embodiment of my father especially in looks and temperament, although I have never actually met him. He disappeared not long after I was born. They say he was killed in action, although his body had never been recovered. My mother used to tell me stories about him and I promised her one day I would search and find the truth to his disappearance. She said with a smile that would make her happy and proud.
Her stories would always be about this famous ninja known throughout the five nations. While many respected him, there were more who feared him. He knew many styles and forms of jutsu and was one of the best in our village. She also, remembered the softer side of him.
From the way he courted her to the times he brought her to the memorial stone which revealed a side most people didn't imagine. At first she didn't want anything to do with him, but as time wore on he grew on her. His reputation was renowned and then again so was hers. The Wolf Sage of the Inuzuka clan was nothing to scoff at. She knew and heard how talented he was, yet what he did in his spare time didn't impress her. Nevertheless, after his disappearance she kept all of his 'dirty' books. I've often wondered why. Perhaps, the memories weren't enough and she needed something more tangible. Then again, she might have been saving them for me.
My story begins at the young age of seventeen, after the death of my mother. I owe her my life and the promise I was never able to fulfill until now. I am an anbu black op and part of Ibiki's interrogation squad. Yes, that sadist is still around, he's too stubborn to retire. The current Hokage is Naruto Uzamaki.
My name is Kai Hatake.
