I can't say all the chapters will be this long but at first I was going to make this into two chapters but it seems to go together as you will see. Sorry if there are any errors I don't have a beta.
I like to tell you that I so happy with reviews I got for the last Chapter. Thank you so much. I also like to say I'm also happy with all the people following this story. I hope I make this story worth your wild and I give you a virtual hug.
Chapter 2
Kakashi stood in front of an office seeking someone that could enlighten him on an issue he is currently having with his Genin students. When he had read the file on the Genin they assigned him and if they had passed he thought he would have a problem with Naruto seeing as the kid loved to pull pranks and him being a Jinchuriki. Yet he really didn't have a problem with the boy, he was just too hyper to deal with at times. He also found it pleasant that he would get to see the Fourth's son grow. The boy was so much like his parents in ways.
No his problem was in the Uchiha boy and the Haruno girl. They didn't get along at all and it was messing with their growth in team work. He tried putting them together to work on the chores –cough- missions they were assigned but they always ended up in heated glares and arguments leaving Naruto trying to patch things up or joining in. It was getting on his nerves, once again, why did he pass this team?
Another problem with his Kunoichi was…well he wasn't completely sure really. At first he wondered if she developed a crush on him but that was dismissed almost as quickly as that thought came. She didn't giggle to him or anything that would support that idea besides her staring at time. It wasn't a loving look either. No, it was a look of calculating. Sizing him up almost and he didn't know why she would be doing that. She was respectful to him really yet she always asked question on why they were doing the missions they were assigned. A couple times she asked personal questions for example: Why are you a Shinobi? Why do you hide your face? And she even asked. Would you die to protect us? He answered the question truthfully and that seem to make her happy but why was she asking these questions?
Anyways he was going to deal with all that later today but first he was going to talk to the ANBU captain Uchiha Itachi first about Sasuke. He knocked on the door and waited for an answer. Once he got one to enter he opened the door walked in and closed it behind him. The office was big with a desk, a chair behind it. Two chairs in front of it and a couch off to the right side. Book shelves filled with book were on the wall behind the desk and on the wall with the entry door.
Itachi who was sitting at the desk working on papers that was littered on it looked up to see who knock. Seeing who it was he raised an eyebrow wondering why Kakashi was in his office.
"Kakashi way are you here?" the younger man asked.
Said person walked to one of the chairs in front of the desk and sat down before he began why he was there.
"I came to discuss something about Sasuke." He answered.
Itachi wore a frown at this. He put his pen down to give the man his full attention. He wasn't sure if he should be in parental mood or older brother mood right now. Moments like this reminded him more of the fact that his parents are no longer there to deal with these issues like they were there for him growing up.
Kakashi continued. "I was hoping by now he would have warmed up to our female team member but things are going down hill. Do you know who is on his team?"
"Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura. I've heard almost nothing on the girl though Naruto talks about her at times." He answered.
Kakashi give a nod at this. Nothing surprising. "It's affecting there team work. Do you know why he dislikes her so much?"
"A fangirl?" he asks. If she was one of his fangirls he could see why he would dislike her. Still, his brother should now that team work is needed to complete missions in the future.
The older man gave an eye crinkle- a sign he was smiling. "In fact no she is not. She dislikes him just as much but I'm going to deal with that too. Anything else maybe?" He found it amusing a bit that Sakura wasn't drooling over the boy. The Uchiha's were known to be good looking men to the females.
Itachi found this amusing as well not that he let that show. He sat back in his chair with his elbows on the arm rest and linked his fingers together thinking. His otouto* didn't speak of this girl, the only thing he knows of this young girl was from Naruto; she has pink hair, pretty green eyes and a wonderful smile. All in the young boys words. He would tell that he liked the girl more then friends. Hmm..maybe that was why his otouto didn't like her? He noticed that after their parents' death Sasuke was having a hard time dealing with it, he tried to help but he didn't think it really worked. At one point he would come home looking like he got in a fight and soon after that a blond hyper boy started to show up and Sasuke's behavior slowly improved. He could tell this boy could do something he himself couldn't. He would even be in cranky moods when the boy wasn't around.
"My otouto seems to depend on Naruto as a friend. Perhaps he feels threatened by this girl." He voices his new theory.
Kakashi blinks at this news. "Jealousy?" He hasn't thought of that. He can tell that the boys have a strong bond, maybe even considered each other like brothers. He has noticed that Naruto has a crush on the pinkette. Could Sasuke feel threaten by that? "Hmm…interesting. I think your right. Now that I know the cause I'll have to find something to fix that." he stood up from his sit. "Thank you Itachi. I'll be on my way now."
Addressed man gave a nod. Secretly thinking of what he could do to improve this on his side of the line.
~3~
Kakashi was now walking through the streets of Konoha reading his book but really thinking about what he just found out about his one student. The more he thought about it the more amused he found it. To think Uchiha Sasuke was jealous of the pink hair girl. It was laughable really. Maybe this was also going on with this female student. She probably knows that the boys friendship was strong and possible jealous of Sasuke that he has that with Naruto. He can tell she cares very much for the blond hair boy but nothing more then friendship unlike Naruto. She at times reminds him of a mother scolding their kid for doing something wrong.
Reaching his destination, a nice average two story house he put away his orange book. He doesn't need Sakura parents to question about having their daughter around a man that reads that kind of book. Ah, how his students already dislike his book even though they don't know what kind it is. One thing they all have in common. He knocked on the down and waited for someone to answer it. A minute went by and gave a knock again. This time he heard movement inside. A few second later the door opens a few inches, a mans face looks out and sees him. He opens the door a bit more to lend on it.
"What do you want?" he asked rudely and a bit slurred. The man was drunk or on his way to be Kakashi noticed.
"Mr. Haruno is your wife home? I would like to discuss something with the both of you."
The drunken man looked too think about that before answering. "My wife is at work. She's a nurse at the Hospital. What is it you need to talk about?" he asked.
"I'm Sakura's Jonin sensei and I wanted to talk to the both of you about her progress. I think-
"That twerp? Talk to my wife about that." He said almost in anger and slammed the door in Kakashi's face.
Kakashi's eye narrowed at the door. The part having the door slammed in his face wasn't really a big deal to him but the drunken man attitude changed when he found out it was about Sakura. He turned away from the door and started towards the Hospital. He was going to say they could talk about it another time when they both were able to and sober before he was interrupted. It was mid-day and the man was drunk. He didn't think anything wrong was going on in Sakura's home life seeing she actually had two parents, they both had a job to provide and nothing was reported. Yet Mr. Haruno was drunk this early in the day and he didn't seem to be a happy one. That was the first time he meet the man so he really couldn't say he was like that all the time but maybe he'll check up on her once in a while.
Reaching the place he hated to visit he paused. Silently wondering why he passed his team. Walking into the building and up to the front desk a middle age women was working on the computer. She looked up for a second about to say something when she did a double take.
"Mr. Hakate? Am I seeing things or are you coming in here voluntarily?" she gave an amused yet confused look up at him.
He gave a laugh and brought his hand up to rub the back on his head. So she knew his dislike for hospitals. "Well I'm not here as a patient. If you could page Mrs. Haruno for me that would be nice." He asked.
She paged the women for him and he took a side step for anyone else that needed to talk to the women. In all the times he was unluckily been here he doesn't remember meeting Mrs. Haruno. Minutes later when a woman asked the lady behind the desk what was needed of her he noticed that this woman doesn't have pink hair. After meeting Sakura's father he thought in the back of his head she must look like her mother but this women had short blond hair and blue eyes, though they both had a heart shape face.
"Hello sir, how may I help you?" she asked.
"Hello Mrs. Haruno. I was hoping to talk to you about your daughter." He informed her.
She blinked not thinking the matter would be about her daughter. The woman said something to the lady behind the desk and led him outside where the patients would go for fresh air. They picked a table and sat down across from each other. She looked worried.
"Is something wrong? Is she hurt?" she asked.
"She's fine Mrs. Haruno. I'm Sakura Jonin sensei. Kakashi Hatake." He informed her of who he was.
She looked relieve to hear her daughter was not hurt. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Hatake." He could tell she meant that.
"I hope I'm not interrupting something important."
"Not at all. I drop just about anything for Sakura. What can I do for you?"
"Well, I was hoping you could help me with something really. I'm not sure how much you know about being a Shinobi and it's my job to prepare your daughter for her future career as one. I'm teaching my students about team work and she's having a hard time getting along with one of her team mates. " He told her the problem.
She gave a sigh. "I see what you're getting at Mr. Hatake. I've been in battles myself in the past." She spoke. She looked off to the side thinking about something he noted. After a couple minutes of collecting her thoughts she turned to him. "I'm not sure how…informed you are about Sakura. I'm sure there's a file you got when you were assigned to team 7."
He gave a nod to this and wondering where she was going.
"I'm sure you know that we moved to Konoha when she was eight years old. She… much to my pain for her was bullied there by the other kids. It was awful and as her mother it pained me to see. We moved here hoping for a better life for her. You can't imagine how happy I was when she came home from the academy one day saying how she made a friend. I didn't even care that it was a boy. I've meet him before here, he's come into this hospital more then I like but he always has a smile on his face. I don't even think he knows I'm Sakura's mother." She gave a small laugh at that.
He could tell how it pained her on what her daughter went through and how she lit up talking about Sakura's happiness. This was a mother who truly loved her child.
"I'm not saying everything's been perfect since we moved here, I know a lot of the girls were mean to her but she's made friends here. She's an intelligent young women, I swear I've seen wisdom in her eyes far from what a twelve year old would know. I've seen such passion too but the thing is Mr. Hatake, she doesn't trust easily. You have to earn it."
Kakashi took in her words. He sees what she means, about Sakura's trust in people. That's what he's been seeing yet something he didn't put the word too. For a smart man like himself he just assumed she would trust them, her comrades. It was people out side of the village you couldn't really trust completely. That's what she been doing, asking him questions, see if he answered them and if honestly. She was trying to get to the point where she could trust him. There was nothing really wrong with that, if you trusted people easily you were a dead man. That's really…something of her. She knows she needs to trust her comrade yet she wasn't trying with Sasuke. Naruto, she already trusted.
"I see what you mean Mrs. Haruno. I see what she has been doing by asking me question all the time."
She gave a laugh at that. "I hope it's not too annoying. She want ask anything too personal but if she happens too and you don't answer she'll understand."
He gave a small smile that his. "No she's fine. Do you know anything else about her team?"
"Hmm..she said that her friend Naruto was on her team and that another boy was. She usually refers to the boy as 'him'. I can tell she respects you as a shinobi by the way."
"The other boy is Uchiha Sasuke…" He stopped seeing how this name connected something for her. So she must have heard of this boy. "So you heard of this boy before?" It could be that she heard what happened with the Uchiha clan years back.
She gave a pitiful laugh. "Yes I have. I see you have a hard job to do. It seems that he called her hair color ugly once and was jealous that she was friends with Naruto. Also that he…what did she call them…oh, his fangirls, that he was the reason why most of the girls were so mean to her." She told him.
He gave a mental sigh at that news. He had a lot of work to do to have her trust Sasuke but it's up to the boy too. He probably won't make it easy. "I see."
"If that is all you need to talk about I should get back to work."
"Yes. Thank you very much Mrs. Haruno."
"Your welcome. If you need to talk about anything in the future you can talk to me Mr. Hatake. Have a good day." She departed with a smile.
It seemed he had a lot of planning to do. How did these kids pass his test again? He should of tested her too like he did with Sasuke but she seemed to be willing to work with him to get the bell. Was there something there that could help him?
~3~
The next morning at the bridge where team seven meets Kakashi finely showed up only two hours late, he was greeted with his new normal; Naruto and Sakura yelling 'you're late' and Sasuke glaring his way. Oh how fun it was to mess with his young students.
"You see my gold fish-"
"Lie." Sakura stated with narrowed eyes. "I don't believe you could keep a gold fish alive."
Kakashi put on a mock hurt expression and voice. "I'm hurt Sakura. And to think you said that after I wake up this morning finding Mr. Goldie dead."
Naruto looked to be thinking if this was also a lie while Sasuke could tell it was completely an act.
Sakura on the other hand reacted to this. Her eyes went wide and her hands went to her mouth. She looked to believe this. "Kakashi-sensei I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Do you want to have a funeral for Mr. Goldie?" she asked quiet sad and reached out towards him but not anywhere near touching him.
Kakashi blinked at this. Oh my acting seems to have improved.
Naruto was still thinking.
Sasuke's eye brow rose. Is she really buying that? "He's still lying Sakura." He told her.
She seems to be not sure if to believe Sasuke. "Kakashi-sensei?" she asked.
He scratched under his chin. "Well…I didn't know my acting was that good…" he confessed.
She looked pissed now. Eyes narrowed and a frown on her face. She crossed her arms over her chest and turn away from him. Giving him a good view of her back.
Nice going Kakashi. What a smooth move you just made after learning she has trust issues. His mind tells him.
"Let's hope nothing happens to that orange book of yours sensei." Sakura spoke like she was talking about the weather.
Naruto snaps out of his thoughts after she said that and looked at her. He gave a nervous laugh. A glance toward their sensei he say, "I be really scared if I were you Kakashi sensei."
Sasuke actually give a smirk after Naruto warmed their sensei. "You shouldn't piss her off."
Oh Kami what did he really get himself into if Sasuke was warming him? Not one to ignore advice about a woman he would be paying close attention to the book he has with him today.
Giving a cough he got to what they are doing today and it's a good thing he planed this. "Well, about our mission for today." He started. He wanted to bring out his book to read.
"Yeah! What is it? Its not more stupid chores is it?" Naruto asked first excited but that quickly left at the possibility of more dumb chores.
"Those were missions Naruto how many times do I have to say that? And no that's not what we will be doing. This is far more important." He spoke.
Naruto lit up are this. Sasuke lend closer and Sakura still had her back towards him.
"WHAT IS IT? Are we fighting a rogue ninja? Protecting a princess?" Naruto asked.
"No. We are…
He really wanted to pull his book out and continue to read it.
"…going to…"
Damn his stupid habit to make up stupid excuses for being late to places.
~3~
"We are going to work on your team work." Kakashi explained again. It has only been ten minutes since he told them what their goal was for the day. They were sitting on the ground in their training spot in a circle format.
"What's wrong with it? Naruto asked confused.
"The facts that Sakura and Sasuke fight none stop. I've been thinking on what we can do to improve this. First I think we should get to know each other more, build a comfort spot so to speak." Kakashi informed.
"And this is going to improve our team work?" Sasuke clarified. His brother had said something yesterday about trusting your comrades with your life. Did Kakashi talk to his ani?
"But we've known each other for years! This is a waste of time Kakashi-sensei." Naruto wined.
Sigh. "I've noticed in our time together that not all of you trust your team mates. Trust in your team mates is very important, it can mean life or death, you understand now? There will be rules for this. One; answer the best you can. If you don't feel comfortable with the question then say so and the rest of us will have to deal. Two; no interrupting the person speaking. Got it guys?"
"Yeah."
"Hai."
"Hn."
Sakura was already feeling uncomfortable about this set up. What ever they asked of her she would have to answer but he did say that if she wasn't comfortable with the question she didn't have too. Hopefully they didn't ask anything she couldn't answer. She did see that their team work wasn't the best and this would give her a chance to work on that with Sasuke. And it seems that sensei noticed her distrust.
Naruto didn't see the point of this. They should be training and getting stronger but if Kakashi-sensei said they needed to work on their team work then he had no choice. Well.. Sasuke and Sakura didn't work well together. Okay he could see where the masked man was coming from. Maybe this was he's chance to get them to be friends. He's been hoping that for years now. Okay start of operation GET-SASUKE-AND-SAKURA-BEST-FRIENDS. Wait! No not best friends he doesn't want them to leave him out or oh ramen! What if teme starts to like Sakura!? No, no, no that can't happen.
Sasuke was reluctant on doing this team building training but he wouldn't have this girl be the reason they failed a mission because she couldn't work with him. If they could just get to a point that they worked well together then he wouldn't have to be around her more. Did he trust her? He didn't think she do something stupid during a mission on purpose, she did seem more level headed then Naruto.
Sakura spoke up first in a curious voice. "Naruto, do you consider Sasuke loyal?
"Eh? Well he's a bastard most of the time but yeah I trust him." Naruto gave a shrug at the end.
Sasuke gave a glare at both of them. They were talking like he wasn't even there. So she doesn't trust me? Sasuke thought. Kakashi listened on amused.
"Sasuke, why do you dislike me so much?" Sakura asked.
"I could ask the same thing." Sasuke replied back.
"You called her ugly teme!"
"I don't remember saying that dobe."
"When we were nine. It was lunch time and it was hot that day. It was the first time we saw her hair." Naruto supplied the time.
"I said the color pink was ugly." He clarified.
"Which her hair is!"
"She didn't like me before that anyways!"
"She's shy!" Naruto shouted.
"I was gone for two days and I come back you two are best friends. How is that being shy?"
"Boys. Why don't we let Sakura explain shall we?" Kakashi interrupted before a fight could happen. All three of them looked to her.
Sakura gave a small blush at having all of their attention. "I…um… I don't like being put on the spot." She explained.
"Take your time. We have all day." Kakashi said with a smile.
She took a big gulp before starting. "Well its not so much that I didn't like you its just you didn't seem to like the other kids besides Naruto and when I befriended him all the girls were mean to me and saying stuff so I thought it was best if I stayed away from you as much as I could."
"WHAT! Why didn't you tell me they were being mean! I would have beaten them up." Naruto was understandingly mad that he wasn't told of this and he didn't protect her. Damn why didn't I see that?
Sasuke blinked at what he learned. He was starting to see it from her point of view. So that was why she acted like he wasn't even there?! Because the girls were mean to her?
"It's okay Naruto."
"No it's not Sakura. I'm your friend, I should have known. Is that why you aren't friends with Ino now? Cause I've noticed that. Believe it." She could tell he was upset since he left out the 'chan' at the end of her name.
"Ino? …. No, that's not why and I don't want to talk about her."
"You have to tell about this stuff from now on. Got that?" Naruto gave her a scolding look.
She bit her lower lips. Feeling more of her daily lie towards him heavier. "I'm sorry Naruto. I didn't want to bother you with it."
"Bother? It's not a problem Sakura-chan. It's what friends do."
She gave a sniff feeling her eyes becoming moist. She really did feel bad about not telling him something he wanted to know yet it was the past and it's nothing that can be changed now. But she also knew that if he knew she was still lying to him it would hurt him more. What would be more painful, knowing the truth or being lied to?
"AH! Don't cry Sakura-chan, I didn't mean to be so harsh." Naruto said worried while pulling at his hair doing a worried dance.
"Dobe."
"Well, shall we move on? Sasuke why don't you tell Sakura why you dislike her since she answered." Kakashi spoke. He did not like seeing girls cry.
"She's annoying."
"What is it that you find annoying?" Sakura asked annoyed herself.
Sasuke glared at the ground for a few seconds. "Next question." There was no way he would tell them the reason.
They all blinked. Did that mean he was uncomfortable?
After a couple minutes of silent's Kakashi wanted to hurry this up since he had other plans to help them, he couldn't wait to see them make a fool of themselves.
"How about I throw some questions out there for you to answer. It may help you understand the person better next to you." He threw this option out there but they really didn't have a choice. "Sasuke why do you want to branch away from your Clan?"
They waited for him to answer the question. They could see he was thinking about something, maybe if he was going to answer. Naruto looked like he already knew. Sakura looked at him seeing the slight crease in his forehead and the intense look in his dark eyes.
"I don't want to be judge just because I'm an Uchiha." He answered keeping his eyes on the ground. A lot of people judged him because of his last name, saying how better he should be, how he should act and frankly because of that and Naruto's whining he joined in on the dobes pranks at times.
Sakura could see that he meant was he said. She glanced at Naruto and he was nodding his head to no one just in agreement. She thought about if she should say what she was thinking or to just let it go but if he was to warm up to her even a little bit maybe she should? She was learning stuff about him by paying close attention to his reactions.
"I never judged you because of your Clan Sasuke. I don't think I ever meet anyone besides you let alone know anything about your clan."
"Hn." That strangely made him feel better.
Naruto saw Sakura lean her head to the side in a questioning way. "Eh, I think that means, thank you?" he said to help with understanding Sasuke-nese. He was use to what Sasuke's hn's meant but he knew Sakura wasn't.
Sasuke glared at Naruto. That was not what he meant; he was just saying he heard what she said.
Sakura gave a small smile and a 'your welcome.'
Kakashi mentally nodded this was going good so far. "Great next question. Sakura I see that you weren't born in Konoha. Why don't you tell us about where you lived?"
Naruto perked up at this question since she didn't really talk about where she lived before. Sasuke looked towards her. He didn't know anything about her before she moved here. Over the last four years or so he caught bits here and there about her from Naruto.
They didn't expect her reaction. She froze in the middle of taking a breath, her hands clutching her pants to the point her knuckles turned white. She mentally kicked herself for reacting like this. Was it because this was a team bonding moment? Didn't she prepare her self for this or a question like this? Why was she reacting like this for kami sake?
Sakura relax now! Her inner voice barked at her. It was enough to bring back her senses. She relaxed her hands that creaked and took a deep breath. Looking at her team mates they gave her mixed looks. Naruto looked concern, Sasuke lifted an eye brow and Kakashi-sensei was looking at her steady.
He was thinking about her reaction. He knows her mother said she was bullied but that bad to get a response to tense up like that? Something else happened most likely but what?
She looked at the ground. "No."
"But Sakura-chan…"
"No." she said with more force. Looking away from them.
Sasuke replied. "This whole thing is about gaining trust so tell us."
Not exactly how it works, Kakashi thought about Sasukes remark. "Sakura why don't you tell them what happened." He spoke it in a way that may sound like he was in on the secret.
She gave him a calculating looking. Did he some how know? Doubt it or I be speaking with the Hokage. He's fishing. "You said that if…"
"I know what I said but I think talking about it will help." He truly thought it might.
Would it help to talk about some of it? She lowered her head letting her hair shadow her face from them. They already knew something wasn't right by her response so she couldn't really just let it go. Half-truths then. Her inner helped. Yes she should give pieces. How far into the truth should she go?
Her voice was soft and slow and didn't look up encase she couldn't control her face expressions yet despite her soft voice it almost sounded detached at what she was saying. "Okay I'll answer. The village I lived in was Buki Mori its east-south from Konohagakure…The place is beautiful really but looks are misleading at least for me. As far back as I can remember the villagers… shunned, tormented and terrorize me for something I had no control over." Should she say more? She was really scared about what they would do or say next. Did she say too much?
The boys were not expecting this tale. Tormented? Terrorize? How far did they go towards a little girl? Naruto was gritting his teeth in anger. It sounded similar to his childhood and the thought that Sakura went through anything like that pained and angered him. It was because of the nine-tailed demon inside him (not that it made it any righteous and not that he knew at the time until the night before he became a Genin) but why would people hurt his Sakura? Is that way she doesn't like to be yelled at?
Sasuke stared at her openly. His mind was in disbelief yet the way she sat there trembling a little gave away that it was not an ugly joke. How did…why? Ran threw his mind. Why?
Kakashi frown. Her mother said that she was bullied but anything farther then that is cruel. No wonder they moved. Just how far did those acts from her old village scar her?
It was several minutes before anyone spoke. It was sakura who spoke first. She no longer stared at the ground with blank eyes remembering things she wished to forget but looked up. Her eyes took on a different emotion. "I may have been bullied here but it is nothing to what I went through before." She looked over at Naruto. "When I moved here I thought it was so strange to be around people who were kind. Naruto, you were my very first friend. I remember the first time I went to do a prank with you. I was so scared and you gave me your goofy smile and reassured me saying that if we got caught you would take the fall so I wouldn't get in trouble. Sure enough I messed it up and we got caught and you did exactly what you said you do. I admire you so much for being strong and I do believe that one day you will reach your goal. I'll be right there scolding those who didn't believe." She gave a smile thinking about how much he has changed her life for the better.
"Dobe, you crying?" Sasuke asked seeing Naruto rubbing at his eyes.
"No! I just have dirt in my eyes that's all." The blond boy defended even though you could tell by his voice that he was in fact very touched by Sakura's words. Once the 'dirt' was out of his eyes he gave a bright smile at his pink hair friend. "Thanks Sakura-chan."
She looked over at her dark hair team mate. "I know you aren't happy that I'm friends with Naruto but you're going to have to get over it. We're on a team now and (breath) if we can put the past behind us that would be best I think. I'll start trying to have more trust in you and Kakashi-sensei. Can we start new?" she asked Sasuke.
"Hn." Starting new sound good to him.
"That means yes." Naruto inform everyone.
"Great. Sasuke if you could speak more words towards me that would be helpful. And Kakashi-sensei I'm sorry if I've been in any way disrespectful towards you."
"Not at all Sakura. I think this went well. I feel like I've learn more about you three." Kakashi gave a smile.
"EH? I didn't even talk much sensei." Naruto spoke.
"Well, no you didn't but words aren't the only way to learn something about a person."
"Kakashi-sensei we didn't learn anything about you. Can I ask why you always carry around that orange book? What is it even about?" Sakura asked with a slant of her head.
A few things happened then. Naruto eyes bugged out of his head, Sasuke glared at his teacher and said teacher rubbed the back of his head.
"Try and tell her I'll burn that book." Sasuke threatened Kakashi.
"I'll piss on the other books you have of that series." Naruto added on.
Both boys had learned what that orange book was and there was no way that they were going to let Sakura know. Secret mission started; keep Sakura as innocent as long as they can. Also as safe as they can from now on.
Kakashi sweat dropped at both boys reaction while Sakura made a comment on how gross she found Naruto's comment. Well it seems that today was every effective. And not only did he have his kunoichi after his book but the boys too. He gave a nerves laugh. "Well I say today was great. Oh look at the time, I say we're done for the day. Bye!" With that he poofed out as quick as he could. Saving his orange book and not being able to finish what else he had planed.
I got to say I really enjoyed writing this in Kakashi POV. Can't say at this moment if I'll have another chapter with us following him but I thought this be a good way to learn more about our characters. I wasn't expecting Sakura to get so serious but it's what happened.
Here is more background on Sakura and Sasuke. And damn, can you believe Naruto is the good one? I also had fun with the scenes about Kakashi's books. If you think Itachi seems off, its because I'm not really sure about his character, since he didn't kill his clan and I'll probably have some trouble with Sasuke too because he didn't lose all of his clan members. You do learn that his parents are dead though. I'm trying to keep Naruto basically the same but with some difference since he grew up with friends. And Sakura is different a lot in ways because of her past I made up.
Otouto-younger brother.
Ani- older brother
Buki Mori- I made this village up by the way. It means weapon forest. The village I had them living in was known for their black smith's.
I think that's the only terms I used. please review and let me know what you think. I didn't really go into detail with what happened with sakura in this chapter but what she did share, do you think that was to much or okay since she doesn't trust Kakashi and sasuke? Naruto didn't know because Sakura in a way thinks its some how protecting him. plus its not something you like to share, to talk about ya know.
