Kings and wolfs
Chapter 1: a letter from an old friend
Jiraiya took out one of the oldest books in the bookcase. This was one of the Hokage´s private rooms and the door was sealed so that neither civilian nor shinobi would enter the room without permission. But since the hokage was Tsunade he was free to walk around and enter whatever room he wanted, except the Hokage´s bedroom.
Jiraiya sat down on one of the chairs around the table and looked at the brown cover of the book, `Research´. Why he chose to read those old books now he didn´t know, he just had a feeling that it would be "necessary" to read it. He opened the book and looked at the single name that was on the first side.
Hatake Sakumo

Naruto tried with a kick that missed his head with just some millimeters and he jumped back, away from his student, and fell on his knees. Naruto smiled with something that looked like triumph on his face.
"How was that Kaka-sensei?" Naruto said.
Kakashi stood up and brushed his trousers from dust. He looked at his young student and smiled at him; he was not the orange clad teenager anymore and now wore similar clothes like himself, even his hair was a bit longer, almost as long as Minato´s was.
"You are close but need more practice" Kakashi said and crossed his arms.
Naruto´s mouth hang open with shock. "WHAT! But I was only this far away from hitting you." naruto put his thumb and index finger some millimeters away from each other.
Kakashi sighed and walked towards Naruto.
"Yes, but that millimeter can be your death if you fight against someone like me; just think what I could have done if this was a real battle of life and death, well just say it like this:
you should be lying on the ground bleeding to death right now. All I need is a millimeter."
Kakashi said and walked past Naruto towards the gate of Konoha.
Naruto thought about what his sensei would do if he was attacking him and the thought of getting the rakiri in his stomach was not on the nice list, he knew how the chidori felt like when Sasuke had got him in the valley of end. But for the rakiri it was something completely else, bigger damage, sharper lightning, and the speed was incredible. And with Kakashi´s speed to make signs for a jutsu that would have happened.
Naruto turned around and ran after Kakashi.

Jiraiya turned another page and a paper fell out from the book onto the table. Jiraiya took it and turned it around, only to see a family tree with names he hadn´t heard about before.
Why would Sakumo have a family tree in his research if he had nothing to do with them?
Jiraiya turned his attention to the book again.
Research day 6437:
I was on a mission some days ago and the scroll I was suppose to find opened with mistake when one of Raikage´s men attacked me but hit it instead. Some pictures and papers flew out and after that the ninja was eliminated I tried to find as many pieces I could and I found this paper with a family tree. Since I was in a hurry and the building was on its way to explode I put the paper in my weapon-pocket by mistake…and fear to not make it out.
I found it some days ago but I couldn´t write it down in this book just like that.
if something would happen to me either Sandaime-sensei would find it and he can put the blame on the family, I can´t let him do that, not to my son.
I´ve put all of my research on this paper spread out in Konoha so that he will not find it.
The first one lies in the path of bird, where the opening is made of blood and silver.
The next one follows the snake´s spine to the place where the sword hits it face.
The third and last piece is the path of the phoenix, dragon and wolf, where the sun and moon are up at the same time
This is all I can do…and I´m sorry…
Sakumo
Jiraiya stared at the name and gritted his teeth.
"Stupid Sakumo, what have you found now?"
N/A: I can´t put a damn line here so you will have to read this, thank you for your time.
Kakashi stared wide eyed when Naruto was on his 13: e bowl of ramen, and just thinking about eating that much made his stomach turn around.
"Naruto, you shouldn´t eat that much you know." He said with a low voice. Naruto gulped down the last of the food and breathed out.
"But I can´t live without Ramen, it´s like my life fuel." Naruto smiled and relaxed in the chair with his hands behind his head.
Kakashi looked down at his own food but Naruto had already made him lost his appetite.
He pushed it aside towards Naruto, who stared at him with a questioning face.
Kakashi noticed Naruto staring at him and sighed after some seconds.
"What?" He asked with annoyance in his voice. Naruto smiled and grabbed the bowl that Kakashi was suppose to eat.
"I just thought about the times when we tried to unmask you the first time." Naruto said and started to eat the ramen. Kakashi raised a brow and stared up at the ceiling.
"Well, you still haven´t succeeded with that one yet." He said and smiled.
Naruto laughed and paid for the food, since Kakashi hadn´t eat anything and he took his food.
He walked out from the small stand next to Kakashi.
"But why are you hiding your face…oh wait let me guess, horse teeth?"
"No."
"Fish mouth?"
"No."
"A magic face that makes all women fall in love with you?"
"Nope."
"scars?"
"Only my eye."
"oh I know, you don´t have a face, it´s absolutely nothing."
"Where did you even get that idea."
"Saw a show about ghosts yesterday."
Kakashi shook his head and was about to turn left when something slimy hit his whole body.
He backed away quickly and looked up at big thing in front of him.
"Oh I´m sorry Hatake-san." A smaller version of the usual big slug said. Naruto looked at his sensei and laughed when he saw the slime dripping from his hair, face and uniform. Kakashi looked at the younger boy and gave him a angry eye. Naruto saw this and managed to hold his laugh.
"Hello Katsuyu, is there something going on?" Kakashi asked her.
"Tsunade wants to see you Hatake-san. She says it´s important." She said and Kakashi nodded.
"Thanks, tell her I will see her soon."Katsuyu Nodded and disappeared in a smoke screen.
Kakashi turned around and saw Naruto´s red face. He sighed.
"Okay, you can laugh!" Naruto laid his head against a wall while banging on it with his hand and laughed loud.
