Darkness Past

What started as a team, ended like a family

Recap:

All of the sudden they hear the door knob turn.

They all stared at the door, waiting to see what happens.

The door opened and they see a man wearing a mask over his face walk in. Then they see the eraser fall on his head.

They all looked shocked for a moment, then Naruto started busting out laughing.

"I-I can't believe he fell for it." Naruto said while laughing.

"My first impression of you three," Kakashi said as they all leaned in to hear. "You're a bunch of idiots."

"Alright, go have lunch, then meet me at training ground 10. You have half an hour to eat and get there. Okay?" Kakashi Explained?

"Hai" They all replied. Then hey ran outside to have lunch.

"Isn't it kind of late to eat lunch? I mean it's almost dinner time." Naruto said.

"Just forget about it and eat. We have to get to the training grounds soon." Sasuke said.

"Why do we have to get there so soon?" Naruto asked?

"Because we've barely have time to train." Sasuke explained.

"Oh, ok. Want to go get some Ramen together Hinata?" Naruto asked.

"Um…H-Hai" Hinata whispered with a blush on her face.

"Huh? What did you say? I couldn't hear you." Said Naruto with a stupid look on his face.

"She said yes Dobe, now hurry up and eat, we have to go soon" Sasuke said with a annoyed look on his face. "Let's go Hinata. I'm starving." Naruto said

"H-Hai Naruto-Kun." Hinata said, still blushing.

20 MINUTES LATER

"Man I'm full. Ready to go Hinata?" Naruto asked. "H-Hai I'm r-ready." She said with a blush on her face. "Hinata, your face is red, are you ok? Naruto asked. "H-H-Hai" She said with her blush increasing ten fold.

"Naruto, Hinata, are you ready to go? Sasuke asked. "Yeah, hold on where coming."

Naruto paid for his and Hinata's food and the left.

They made it to the Training ground in about 8 minutes.

"Hm, you guys are 2 minutes early. Maybe you guys aren't so bad." Kakashi said. "And you thought we would be late Sasuke." Naruto said.

"We would've been late if I hadn't rushed you." Sasuke said. "Anyways, since I don't know you, why don't we start with introductions? Kakashi asked.

"Um…Why don't you go first Sensei, so we can see how it's done?" Naruto suggested. "Okay. My name is Hatake Kakashi. I don't feel like telling you my likes and dislikes. I have a lot of hobbies. Dreams for the future? Well okay. Now you." He said pointing at Naruto.

'All we learned was his name.' The 3 Genin all thought. "Okay. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like to eat ramen. Especially the one at the Ichiraku Ramen shop where Iruka-Sensei takes me. I hate the 3 minutes it takes to warm up the ramen. My hobbies are to taste and compare the different kids of ramen I eat. My dream is to become Hokage so every one would show me respect." Naruto said.

"Interesting. Okay, now you." He said Pointing at Hinata. "M-my name is H-Hinata H-Hyuuga. I l-like to s-study medical j-jutsus, e-even though I'm n-not so good a-at it. I d-dislike p-people who m-make fun o-of others. My h-hobby is t-to meditate i-in the g-garden. M-my dreams f-for the f-future is t-to become stronger s-so my father w-will be p-proud of me." Hinata said.

"Hm, okay. Last but not least you." He said pointing at Sasuke. "Hn. My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I don't really like anything, and I dislike a lot of things. My hobbies are to train and take walks. I don't have a dream, for it is an ambition. To kill a certain someone." Sasuke said.

"Hm, okay. You all have Interesting goals. Well that ends today. Come tomorrow at 6 A.M sharp, don't be late. Oh, and I wouldn't eat breakfast if I were you. Bye." And with that, he was gone.

"I wonder what we have to do tomorrow. Naruto wondered out loud. "Hn, it should be interesting. Maybe it's our first mission." Sasuke said.

All three of them were walking in town, when all of a sudden, a crowd formed around them. "Wh-What's going on?" Hinata asked. "What do they want?" Naruto asked.

"Pfft, look at them. The perfect team. The demon boy who will probably destroy the village one day. The last Uchiha who will most likely kill every one who is close to him for power. And the weak Hyuuga girl who can't beat her 7 year old sister. Pathetic." One man said from the crowd.

"W-what are they talking about?" Hinata asked on the verge of tears. Sasuke and Naruto grew quiet, shocked that someone said that about them. Sasuke started getting angry. "I would never kill anyone who is close to me!" Sasuke yelled, his eyes started to get lighter. "Why would you say something like that? Huh!" Naruto yelled.

"Shut up. You two will be the destruction of this village. They probably put you three on teams hoping you would kill each other." A lady in the crowd said. "W-why are y-you saying s-such things?" Hinata asked through her tears.

"Maybe we can save the future by killing them." One said, taking out his kunai. They all pulled out their weapons, and started closing in on them. When a puff of smoke appeared before the three Genin. "Stay away from them." Said a voice.

"K-Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto yelled. "It's okay Naruto, they won't hurt you as long as I'm here." Kakashi said, giving Naruto a smile.

"T-that's the Copy Ninja, Hatake Kakashi." A man said. "Why would he protect these worthless ninja?" another asked. "We can't take him now, we have to leave and regroup." One said.

They all left without a trace. "You guys okay?" Kakashi asked. Hinata was still crying, Sasuke was looking off into space, and Naruto was looking at Kakashi. "Why did you protect us Kakashi-Sensei? Naruto asked. "Why? Because I care about you guys." Kakashi said with a sincere look on his face.

"Y-you care about us?" Naruto asked surprised. "Yea, I do. Why were they treating you like that?" Kakashi asked. I, I don't know. They've always treated me like that. Naruto said. "I don't know either, but I'm sick of it already. If they don't like me hear, then I'll leave." Sasuke said with an angry look on his face.

"Don't think like tha-" "I agree with you Sasuke, I don't like it either. I want to leave this village." Naruto said. "Don't be so hasty guys. Naruto, if you leave the village, you will never become Hokage." Kakashi said. "I don't want to be Hokage anymore. I don't care if they respect me anymore or not, because I hate them." Naruto said seriously.

Kakashi turned to Sasuke and said, "Sasuke, where would you go if you leave? What would you live for?" "I don't care where I go, and I will live to kill my brother for killing the only people who cared about me." Sasuke said, and started to walk away with Naruto.

"Well, if you're going to leave, I guess I'll go with you. There is nothing to do and I have nothing to live for. Everyone I cared for has died, so I'll go." Kakashi said. This made both Naruto and Sasuke stop dead in their tracks. They never thought that Kakashi would let them go. Let alone, go with them.

"A-are you serious Kakashi-Sensei?" Naruto asked "yea, let's go to your houses so you can get packed." He said. Then they started to walk away. 'I-I want to go, b-but I don't want t-to get in the way.' Hinata thought. The three of them stopped walking, and turned around to look at Hinata. "You coming?" Asked Kakashi smiling warmly at her.

She looked up at him shocked. "H-Hai!" She said smiling, then they all stood up, and left to go get packed.

After they got packed, they walked to the gate. "Are you all sure you want to leave?" Kakashi asked. "Hai" They all replied. "Alright, let's go." He said. Then they walked out of the village.
