Chapter 1: Kakashi's Final Thoughts
Kakashi couldn't move as much as he tried. He was on his back in the grass where him and his team had been ambushed. He knew his injuries were serious but all he could think of was how to get his comrades to safety. He turned his head to assess the others' condition. One look told him everything. Kakashi Hatake was the only surviving member of the ANBU team that had been sent to the Land the Rain in search of the Aratsuki that had been rumored to have hiding out in this land of turmoil.
Kakashi groaned from the pain caused by a deep gash on his right leg. He wasn't a medical ninja but from years of experience in the field and seeing many men and women die from this sort of wound, that his femoral artery had been severed. It wouldn't be long now. He was losing large amounts of blood and he was too weak from using his Mangekyo Sharingan to try and stop the bleeding.
"What's the point?" he thought. "Everyone is dead and there is no way I could get to Konoha even if I did stop the bleeding."
He looked up at the sky and through the heavy canopy of trees he could see the stars shining brightly. His head began to spin and his vision was becoming blurred. He began to see faces, his sensei the Fourth Hokage, his father Konoha's White Fang, Obito, Rin. Was he hallucinating from the blood loss or were they welcoming him to the world of the dead? Kakashi only wished he could have said goodbye to friends back home; Asuma, Iruka, Kurenai, Gai, and of course his former students Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. He hadn't seen them in two years; ever since Sasuke came back to the Leaf Village after Orochimaru's failed attempt to take over his body. After some time Sasuke had rejoined Team 7. The Fifth Hokage sent Team 7 lead by Anko to gather intel on Orochimaru. He was sure they had become fine adults as well as excellent shinobis. It would one of his greater regrets that he never would get to see them again.
That was the last thought to cross the copy ninja's mind before his whole would went black.
