The four ninjas set off. They were off to find the Atasuki members that had caused Iruka the heartbreak.

"Master Yamato, why did I have to come?" The young Genin, Kohonamru, asked.

" To lay a friend to rest and to give Iruka some piece!" Yamato quietly explained trying to not let Iruka hear.

"But I don't even like him! I hate his father! He can't be any different!" Kohonamaru yelled back.

Iruka stopped and Yamato gave the Genin a look that would have burned his face if Yamato's eyes could produce fire.

"What does his father have to do with him? Yeah, his father may have been a failure in some people's eyes but to the people like Minato, Jiraya, Obito, Rin and I, he was a hero. Kakashi may look like his father on the outside but on the inside, if you can see there, he is his mother and Minato! Kakashi may not let most people in but it is because he is scared! Very scared! If you would see past his father, his abilities and the way he seems to act you could get to know a great ninja and, even more, an amazing person! If it wasn't for Kakashi I may not be here today. Those days where the void in my heart grew to be huge and I couldn't see the light anymore, Kakashi made me feel wanted and that someone actually cared about me! He was there when I needed to fall. He has accomplished more than the four of us put together! They may call Naruto the 4th Hokage's legacy but if you ask me, especially when he smiles, I see more of Minato in Kakashi than Naruto. He is a great Jounin no matter what anyone says! So sure, he may have his faults

and flaws but I love him and he means more to me than anyone in the world!" Iruka yelled at Kohonamaru keeping a straight face.

" Kohonamaru! If You Ever Say Anything Like That To One Of My Friends Again, You Will Have To Feel The Pain Of Neji Hyuga!" Neji yelled at him.

" Kohonamaru, go Home! If you don't want to be here leave! If you want to stay, stay! We just don't need someone who isn't going to help being here!" Yamato said.

" I'll stay! Iruka, I think I can understand where you are coming from! I think I can sort of understand Kakashi now! He's like me! He wants to be known for him not his father! Now let's go kick some Atasuki butt!" Kohonamaru yelled.

"It's not fair!" Obito said as he sat beside Kakashi.

"What isn't fair?" Kakashi questioned.

" You got so tall and your smart. Plus your known everywhere for your copying skills and assignations. I wish I was you. Your so... perfect." Obito said then looked up at him.

" I may be all those things but I had it hard after you guys left. When you died I was really sad. Then Rin died and I didn't know what to do with myself. Sensei helped me though it... but not after I tried to kill myself. Then when he died... everything I knew turned to stone. It hurt so bad and I didn't feel like being around anymore. That was when I met my new friends. Asuma, he taught me how to be tough, Gai, he made me train hard again, Anko, she showed me that even if you are screwed up you can still be loud and have fun with life and Iruka, he found my light and he holds it safe for me... he's my life." Kakashi said then looked up.

Obito slid away from him and glared.

"What!" Obito yelled.

"What do you mean by what?" Kakashi asked confused.

"Don't you remember everything I gave you? Everything we did... Our love..?" Obito asked sounding hurt.

"You were dead! I had to move on. I couldn't live my life in the past. Sensei taught me that. I never forgot our love and I never will. You mean a lot to me." Kakashi said then grabbed Obito's hands and pulled him back beside him.

"Don't ever leave me..." Obito said.

"I'll try." Kakashi said then smiled.
