NARUTO

CHAPTER 1:PROLOGUE

The silver haired Jounin smashed his two fists to the ground in anger. He let his team down. He was just a newly elected Jounin and this is his first mission but that is no excuse for failure. Obito was now dying and it was all because of him. Obito can only be seen on his left side now. His right side of the body is completely crushed by the rock.

"What kind of Jounin am I?" He said, almost crying to no one in particular.

"A good one." Came a weak reply. It was Obito. "You know, I was wondering what I should give you as a present for becoming a Jounin and I have finally thought of one."

Kakashi glared at his friend in confusion. Rin was wiping her tears looking at her dying friend.

"My… Sharingan. With Rin's medical Jutsu, she can plant my Sharingan to your now damaged eye. I can still see the future with my eye in you."

Kakashi looked at his friend in confusion. It is true that his left eye is damaged but he is giving his Sharingan, his family's bloodline ability to him.

"Come on Kakashi. We have to do this fast." Rin said, preparing the surgery. Kakashi had doubts but this was his last request from his new friend and he obliged.

The operation was a fast one and soon, Kakashi has the eye of an Uchiha in his left eye socket. Not wasting time, Kakashi jumped out of the rock cave and faced his enemy. His enemy was cleaning his wound on his shoulder that damaged him earlier. He looked at Kakashi.

"Well, you're a stubborn one, aren't you?" He asked amused that the young Jounin was still alive.

Kakashi looked at him with anger in his eyes, his Sharingan looking at him. His killing intent has never been so big and the rock ninja felt it. He looked at Kakashi's left eye and realized his eye was red.

'He looks different,' the rock nin thought.

Kakashi made the first move and leapt at him. The rock ninja fought with him, hand to hand combat. With his new Sharingan, Kakashi has the advantage. He was able to predict his enemy's movements and block all his attempts. It was like Kakashi's speed increased. They finally broke of the fight and Kakashi made his hand seals.

"Raikiri!" He shouted, producing a ball of lightning in his right hand. The chakra was huge and this brought fear to the Rock nin. Taking out two blades, the two ran face to face and whoever made the first blow will kill them.

In the cave, Rin was taking of the dying Obito. She tried to push the rock crushed on Obito away but it was useless. After hearing the battle outside stopped, the two waited. Did Kakashi beat the Rock nin. They did not know when finally, a figure emerged. Rin saw the figure and recognized it as the Rock nin. This brought fear to her and she took a step back, trying to fish out her kunai from her pouch.

"Relax Rin." Obito told Rin.

The Rock nin then fell dead, much to Rin's surprise and revealed Kakashi behind the Rock nin, panting. It seems that using the Raikiri is proving too much for the young Jounin and since that he is not an Uchiha, the Sharingan is using too much Chakra.

"Rin, we have to get out of here." Kakashi said, panting and gasping for air.

As if on cue, more Rock ninja's arrived and saw Kakashi as a leaf ninja. They immediately started forming seals and Kakashi stared at them in fear. He turned back to Rin, "Rin! We have to get out of here, NOW!" He raised his voice and offered her his hand. She hesitated and looked at the dying Uchiha.

"Go Rin…" Obito said and with tears in her eyes, grabbed Kakashi's hand. He pulled her up just in time as the cave collapsed and Obito with it. The two of them started to run, trying to lose the Rock ninjas. They were fast and with Kakashi still having his Sharingan, he is losing chakra at a fast rate. When they finally lost the Rock nin's, Kakashi dropped on the tree branch.

However, Kakashi felt a presence and formed seals for one last time. He knew he was outnumbered and Rin looked at Kakashi with a confused look. Kakashi created another Raikiri and looked at Rin, "Rin, get out of here. I will buy you some time."

That was when she noticed Rock ninja's appearing in front of them.

"Whoa kid. You have spirit, I'll give you that. But your life ends here!"

Kakashi urged Rin to run but she refused. She was going to die with her team mate.

"Rin, Obito loved you. I will protect you until I die. So please, get out of here!"

Rin was crying and could not do it. She knew that Obito had a crush on her and now knowing the truth broke her heart. She wanted to die. And without giving them a chance to flee, all the Rock nin's jumped at them to deliver the final blow.

"Rin, RUN!!" Kakashi shouted as his vision was starting to blur. He did not know what was happening but he has finally used up all his chakra due to his Sharingan. The world went black and he knew he was dead.

Kakashi felt life returning to him once more. He opened his eyes and he was looking at the stars. 'Am I dead?' Kakashi thought to himself. He did not want to live but he felt a familiar presence near him. He sat up and saw that Minato Namikaze, the blonde shinobi also known as 'The Yellow Flash of Konoha' and his sensei was sitting next to him.

"Rin!" He said aloud. That was the first thing that came to his mind.

"Relax Kakashi. She's safe." He pointed and Kakashi saw her looking up at the stars. Confusion struck Kakashi as he thought they should have been dead.

"But when… How?"

"I saved you Kakashi." Minato explained, "The kunai I have you earlier was a special kunai. When you dropped it, I was immediately teleported to your location. I killed those Rock nin's. And I'm sorry Kakashi. I heard the story from Rin about Obito. I wish I got there sooner."

Kakashi did not listen however. He was lost in his own thoughts. It was because of him that Obito died. If only he had went with him earlier. At least he finally opened his eyes. He knew now that his father actually did the right thing in saving his comrades. Kakashi glared at Rin once more. She was also deep in thought. Probably about her team mate, Uchiha Obito. Kakashi vowed from that day on, that he will never, ever let his team mate's die on him ever again.

************

A month after the death of Uchiha Obito, Kakashi was walking in the hall of the Hokage tower. He was summoned by his sensei about something the 3rd Hokage wanted to inform them. 'I wonder what is so important that the whole team has to be involed.' Kakashi thought to himself. When he finally reached the door, he took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in," The voice on the other side answered.

Kakashi turned the door knob and entered the room. His sensei was already there and so was Rin. He looked around the room and Sarutobi was sited behind his desk.

"You're late, Kakashi." Minato said to his student.

"I apologise sensei," Kakashi answered, taking of an excuse, "I, err… Got lost in the road of life?"

Kakashi was hoping that his lame excuse was enough. He did not have any other exucse and all three people in the room stared at him. He was actually at the memorial sight, looking at Obito's name carved on it.

The 3rd Hokage sighed, "Alright, so I will get straight to the point. Minato, the reason why I summoned you here is that I have found a replacement for your… missing team member. He is an Uchiha and will be useful in your team since he can probably teach Kakashi how to master his Sharingan. You are to meet the Uchiha leader about the details in an hour. Any other questions?"

Minato scratched his head, "Well, what rank is he? And how old is he?"

Sarutobi smiled. He knew that the answer he is going to give might be shocking. "He has no rank yet. He has not entered the academy and he is 5 years old."

Minato did not show surprise in the outside but in his head, he could not believe it. Surely he's not asking a 5 years old inexperienced Uchiha to be in his team. Kakashi and Rin were about to protest when Sarutobi stopped them.

"I know what you're thinking," Sarutobi suddenly said, "And yes, he is very young. But I assure you, I have seen him fight in a sparring match with a Chuunin and he actually beat him. He has high chakra reserves it seems and somehow, has already mastered the Sharingan. His Sharingan is already level 3 but his Sharingan is a little different."

"I see…" Minato replied, rubbing his chin. Minato is already starting to have an idea on who that kid might be. He has heard of an Uchiha genius arising, a rival to Uchiha Itachi. And beating the Chuunin was a news that was spreading like wild fire. He knew that kid's name but he had to confirm it.

"What is his name, Hokage-sama?" He asked.

Sarutobi smiled, "His name… is Uchiha Maki."

There. The main character's name is Uchiha Maki. Do review soon and updating the new chapter will take some time cuz I m also writing another story at the same time.
