Minato took a shaky breath, he slowly picked up the book. "Okay I will read the rest of the chapter," he glanced at Kushina, "will you all be alright if I do?"
They all nodded, determined to plow through the book, to set everything right again. Minato nodded, clearing his throat.
Kakashi immediately leaped into action. "All non-combatants must leave the area immediately and to go into hiding! Shinobi... Fight!"
The citizens through their panic and fear just barely heard him, swiftly following his orders. The Konoha Police Force (the Uchihas), ushered them away from the malevolent aura that exuded from the demon's figure.
Kakashi seeing that the villagers in the area were in good hands, dashed with a burst of chakra towards the battle. 'Sensei, Kushina-neechan... Please be safe.'
He carefully weaved through the debris that was caused by one of the Kyuubi's tails crashing into one of the many buildings in the village. He was just about to enter the battlefield when he was suddenly stopped by an ANBU agent.
Obito's eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard that. "What?! Why is that ANBU stopping him? There's a demon fox destroying the village!"
Rin shook her head violently. "Oh no..."
Jiraiya's eyes glinted in understanding. "I see... that ANBU is probably going to take Kakashi somewhere away from the battle."
This time, Kakashi spoke up. "But why? We need all the help we can get."
He shrugged.
"Hatake Kakashi, you must come with me."
Kakashi's eyes narrowed. "Are you insane? The Kyuubi is desolating everything. I need to help! Yondaime-sama and Lady Kushina might need me!"
The agent cocked his head to the side. "We understand the situation. But, I was ordered by Sandaime-sama to escort you to a secure location, therefore you must come with me."
Kakashi faltered at the words, 'ordered by Sandaime-sama'. Any hope of assisting his fellow shinobi was dashed. Direct orders meant that he had to go, right now, or suffer the consequences.
He nodded his assent, quickly being brought to the secured location by the ANBU agent. When he got there, he saw a startling sight. He wasn't the only one to have been brought there. Kurenai, Asuma, Gai, and the others that made up his generation was there as well. Standing in front of them was Kurenai's father.
Something sank in his gut, for the usually joyful man's mouth was set in a grim line. Weariness painting his features, exhaustion weighing heavily on his shoulders. He looked at them, eyes dull.
"It pains me to say this, for I know how much you want to assist in the effort against the Nine Tails. But, I have been ordered by the Third Hokage to protect the young ones in the most efficient way possible." he looked at them all in the eye. "For the remainder of the battle, you will all remain here."
Kushina covered her mouth in shock, "Oh no. They aren't going to like that."
Tsunade nodded her head in agreement. "No they won't. I have to wonder if this is why Kakashi harbors negative feelings towards Sensei." she glanced at him swiftly. "It would certainly make sense."
Kurenai being the daughter of Yuuhi Kotaro, protested vehemently. "What?! That's cannot be! Our village is being attacked, we deserve the chance to fight along side everyone... Including you!"
Kotaro shot her a look, his eyes softening. He put his hand on her shoulder, gripping it slightly. "I know and I understand your discontent. But you are the future, all of you are. And someday you will produce a beautiful grand child and then they will grow up and protect the village. But that can't happen if you die here."
Kurenai stared at him in shock, eyes widening. Kotaro stepped back and nodded at the other ANBU agents that stood around them. At his signal, they performed hand signs that after the sequence was completed, made a barrier form around them.
"No, no, no! FATHER! Don't leave us here, we need to fight! Father!" screamed Kurenai, tears cascading down her cheeks. Kotaro shook hi head, smiled at her, and left. Preparing to go into battle.
This action seemed to snap everyone else out of their daze, they soon knew that they were being left there. Kakashi banged on the barrier wall desperately."Let us out! Sensei and Kushina-neechan need me! Let me go!"
Minato slowly put the back on the table. "That's the end of the chapter."
He looked around. "Who wants to go next?"
Everyone looked hesitantly at each other, they were still rattled by what was read. Kakashi had seemed so desperate and insane with worry. No wonder he hated the Third. Sandaime-sama had tore him away from the only chance that he could take to help out his two most precious people.
What the others didn't notice was that Kakashi's (the one in that very room) eyes had darkened. Opting for a blank, cold gaze instead of the lively charcoal they were earlier. Thinking always seemed to do that to him.
'The Sandaime, huh?'
