Brutal Revenge:
Prologue
Kakashi's POV.
I walked leisurely through the busy streets of Konoha, carrying my grocery bags gingerly. I had about six of them, one bag devoted to only miso ramen. Having a pregnant fiancée whose temper is enough to make a horrible storm seem like a walk in the park isn't easy. And when she craves ramen; I damn well have to give it to her. But apart from that, having Anko around is wonderful. The way she smiles, laughs and cooks! Heaven-sent I tell you. I turned a corner and the first thing I noticed was that there was a messenger bird by my window. I sighed, knowing that it's more than likely a mission. I've grown to hate missions after what I've been through some while back. Even though it's only been a month since I've returned, the experiences that I've had will last an eternity. Because of that, I don't want to go back into the forest, I don't train like everyone else as a matter of fact, and all I do is eat, sleep, and look after Anko and things like those. Now, I just want to relax and enjoy the things in life. I realized that my pace has slowed, as I never wanted the bird to see me. But unfortunately, I had to go home. After a few minutes, I reached the front door. I kicked on it because my hands are full. When Anko had opened the door, I was greeted with a huge smile. I blushed but she couldn't see it. I went into the house, heading towards the kitchen. But as I dropped the bags on the counter, my eyes caught the bird perched on my window sill. I sighed in defeat, and took the note from it. I opened it and was shocked to see that is wasn't a mission but it was to meet with the Hokage.
"What for?" I said aloud.
"What's it say?" Anko asked me. I gave her the paper, her brows instantly knotted. "Why do you have to meet with her? Is it a mission?"
"I don't know, and I sincerely hope not." I answered. I pulled down my mask and kissed her. After that I headed to the Hokage Tower. I walked the streets once more but then I encountered Gai and Asuma.
"My eternal rival!" Gai bellowed at me. He ran towards me, in a burst of youthful energy. I rolled my eyes with disgust and answered, "What do you want, now?"
"Have you heard that Tsunade's retiring?" Asuma said. I was shocked. Why would she be retiring? Everyone loves her.
"Why?" I asked, "What caused that?"
"I have no clue. But I wonder who's going to be the new Hokage." Gai said.
"Maybe it's Naruto." I laughed. "He's the only person I know with a passion to be Hokage."
"Well, let's wait and see." Asuma said, "Maybe it will be Shikaku."
"I don't know, but I'm in a rush right now." I waved goodbye to the two men and darted to the Tower. Upon reaching the doors, I practically sprinted to her office. When I opened the door, I was basically panting, as I forgot to use chakra or any of the transporting elements. She looked at me and smiled.
"You're here early."
I froze. I was early? That's a first in years. "I was close by." I lied. She kept looking at me, staring to be exact. "Why stare?" I asked.
"Ever since you returned, you've been in shorts and t-shirts." She said. "What happened to your uniform?"
"So many ninjas don't wear that uniform. Gai, Anko, Kurenai, Hinata, Neji even Naruto, bright orange…" I stopped because we both know that the list goes on.
"I know but anyway down to business." Her tone changed completely, giving me a feeling of dread. I began to have a feeling that it's something to do with my so-called mental disorder. She moved to her window and smiled. Then she turned and looked me in the eye.
"I have made my decision. As you know, I'd be retiring as Hokage." Tsunade seemed sad but I didn't say anything. "So I have decided to make you Konoha's Rokudaime." I felt like dying. Being exiled from the village was awful but to be Hokage?! My life has officially ended. No more freedom, idling, slacking off, but worst of all, no more time to read my Icha-Icha books! This is torture. My worst nightmare is coming true but what can I do? It's the current Hokage's decision anyway.
"That's it, dismissed."
"Not yet. Why did you choose me? Of all the ninjas in the entire village, why me?"
"When you get sworn into office, then you'll see my reason." She said as she gestured me to get out. I rolled my eyes and headed through the door. This can't be happening. This cannot be happening! I accepted my fate and walked into the streets. I then turned to look at the mountain and sighed. Soon my face will be up there. Soon, I will be in that office, buried in documents, assigning missions and all that shit. Such…a…drag. But anyway I evoked wind and transported myself home.
