Kakashi's Past
Chapter One: Depressing Start
"Hey Kakashi-sensei?" Asked Sakura. "What is it Sakura?" he replied. She looked a little nervous. "Can you tell us about your past?" He immediately stiffened. "I don't like to talk about it, sorry." With that he left. Sakura wondered what happened to him in the past that made him not want to talk about it.
She told the others about this and they were equally confused. They didn't notice that Asuma had overheard everything and approached them. "The reason he doesn't like to talk about it is because it's quite depressing." He said. They all looked at him. "Can you tell us about his past?" asked Ino. "I guess I can. Although, it is a very personal thing to talk about." "Ok let's start with when he was born. His mother died when he was born, so he grew up with only his father. He started training to be in the academy when he was three. So he went in the academy when he was four." Everyone gasped. "Seriously?! That's amazing!" said Sakura. "Well he was a prodigy. Anyway, he then graduated and became a genin at age five. He wasn't put on a genin team though because he was too young. So, instead, he got trained by his dad, Sakumo Hatake, and also a chūnin named Minato Namikaze, who later became the fourth hokage. When Kakashi was six, he took, and passed, the chūnin exams and became a chūnin." "Six year old chūnin? Is that even possible?" asked Naruto. "It is when you're really, really smart and talented. He was then teamed with Minato for missions, since Minato was then a jōnin. When Kakashi was still six, his dad failed a mission by saving his comrades. He was then a failure to almost everyone in the village, well almost everyone. Kakashi still loved his dad. Then one day when Kakashi got home from a mission, his house was really quiet. So, he decided to see if his dad was asleep. He walked into his dad's study and found him. Sakumo was lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood. Can you imagine that? Finding your father dead at such a young age?" Everyone gasped. "Oh gosh, that's horrible!" said Sakura. "Yeah, I know. But it did happen, Sakumo took his own life. Although, he was hoping Kakashi wouldn't be the one to find him. He had a letter written to his son saying that he loved him, but he couldn't take it anymore. The next day, Minato checked on Kakashi, wondering why he didn't show up for training, what he saw was horrific. He found Kakashi lying next to his father, both lying deathly still. Fearing that Kakashi was dead he kneeled next to him and checked for a pulse. Thankfully he found one, not a strong one, but Kakashi was still alive. Though he saw that Sakumo was in fact dead. He took Kakashi out of there and to his own home to stay for a while." Asuma said. Everyone was thinking the same thing: 'Kakashi-sensei's past is really sad'. "Then," Asuma began. "A few years later, Minato decided to be a jōnin sensei. So he and Kakashi got two genin on their team; Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara. They were both nine."
That's it for chapter 1. Please review. This is my first story I've written about Kakashi, so don't be too hard on me. ^_^ Also if you guys want I can have Asuma x Kakashi in later chapters. Thank you.
