I don't own Naruto, Kishi is the master behind every character.


He found the first one on the field where they used to train Naruto. He was just there one day, wandering around, thinking about everything.

Life. Death.

The air was chilly and a gentle breeze blew over the green grass.

He closed his eyes as he walked over the field. The sun shone down over his face and body.
Why couldn't life be just this simple?
Trees, grass, sunbeams and a good book. It would be perfect.

But deep inside, the copy ninja knew that he never would have the patience to sit down day after day, just watching people pass by, doing the things they did best. He would slowly go crazy.

Ah, the book.
He was just about to reach for it in his hip pouch when his foot stepped on something big and pointy.
Kakashi moved his foot away and looked down on the grass, prepared to see something similar to a stone, but the small item that laid under him were not even close to such a thing.

It was a figure. A small ANBU soldier made out of wood, probably carved by someone's own hands.
He leaned forward and picked it up, examined every inch of it, twisted and turned.
Under something that looked like a small platform that the wooden soldier stood on, someone had carved in tiny tiny letters that formed the words; You. It's all because of you.

Him? Impossible. Someone must had dropped it off by a coincidence.
Then again, he started to think, why here?
The bright haired ninja closed his eyes again and bent over to sit down on the ground. It didn't take long until he even was laying on the warm grass, scratching his forehead and still holding the wood figure in his right hand.

He had his suspicions… Or, who could it else be?
It had to be him.
What did he mean by those words? Someone had clearly done something to him, something that made him feel bad.

You. It's all because of you.
What did it mean?
The soft breeze was back and swirled around the place. It was like a human, someone that danced around in circles and put life in the trees, the grass, the flowers…
"I'm too tired for this" he murmured as he slowly dozed off in to a peaceful sleep, with his hand wrapped around the tiny soldier.
