"Kakashi! It's time for us to go on another hunt!"

"Just a minute, Father." Kakashi said to his father before picking up a blade, a bow and a couple of arrows before leaving out of their tent. It had been seven years since he was reborn, as the son of Noelle and Yukio. Even though his new life was nothing like the past, Kakashi could say that the past seven years could be one of the happiest time of his life.

He loved his father in his past life and he never knew his mother since she died when she had given birth to him. However, he never experienced that family love since his father had the duty as a Shinobi of the Leaf, not to mention that his father had ended his own life, so his childhood wasn't something that he could call pleasant. Noelle and Yukio, meanwhile, raised him with love and great care, giving him everything that they thought was good for their first child.

So he waited for a few months, to the day he 'learnt' to read and speak. Kakashi couldn't risk acting like an adult while he was simply an infant, so Kakashi let himself growing normal at first, acting like a child his age, with childish and happy behaviors, but rarely cried. As a skilled Shinobi, it wasn't that hard for Kakashi to act like that, but in the past two years, those child-like acts were never entirely fakes, as he was truly happy with his life, and wanted to feel his new childhood to the fullest.

Though once he'd reached a certain age, he'd began wearing his trademark mask. His parents were very much confused why their son would cover half off his face but they didn't see the harm in something like that.

During his time in the new world, Kakashi was able to learn a couple of things about his new life so far. His parents and the other tribe members were apparently specialize in hunting these creatures known as Danger Beast, some of them weren't that hard to hunt down but there were a few he heard about that were too dangerous to hunt alone. He was raised like a regular child would but was also taught in the ways of hunting and killing Danger Beasts, his parents would allow him to go on his own hunts once in a while but he'd take the chance to train himself.

Apparently, he really did have the ability to use his Chakra, he'd trained himself so his new body would get used to the strain of using jutsu, taijutsu and using his new Sharingan. Thankfully, he was able to control it properly unlike in his previous life, which was better so his parents would question why he has red eyes. However, his current body was still too weak to use the Mangekyō Sharingan but he was still skilled with his shinobi abilities, not known by his parents and fellow tribe members.

Once Kakashi's parents had learned that their child was showing signs as a prodigy, they did their best to help him learn more about their hunting skills. From his mother, Noelle, he learned how to use a bow and arrow while his father, Yukio had shown him a couple of skills he'd remember during his time as a shinobi but still learned from his father.

Kakashi meet with his father and he lowered his head. "I'm ready for today's hunt, father."

Yukio only chuckled at his son's action. "Good to hear that, then let's head out." His father said before the two of them made their way out of the village. As they were walking, Kakashi noticed the chief of their village and his daughter, who were chatting with each other.

Kakashi knew of the chief's view on life, the weak should fall while the strong survive. That type of motto wasn't something Kakashi would agree with but he knew not to bother with it, knowing that the chief could never be convinced that his way of thinking was wrong. Even if someone is weak, they have a chance at becoming the strongest, Naruto being the perfect example of that.

Kakashi shook his head before returning his attention besides his father. "So father, mind if I ask what we're hunting today?"

Yukio looked towards his son, giving him a smile. "Oh nothing too big, we're just going after a couple of Velox."

Kakashi nodded his head as the two of them finally left the village. The trip was at least twenty minutes as they were currently waiting on a cliff's edge as a strong snowstorm appeared, though thanks to his time spent in training out here by himself, the cold didn't bother him nor affect his vision.

The two took a glance around their area as there were trying to locate a group of Velox, which was a blue reptile-like danger beasts that were pretty common things to find in the area. As they continued to look, Yukio grinned as he finally stopped a couple of them running from the distance.

"Alright Kakashi, there's our preys." Yukio pointed, causing Kakashi to look towards the same direction his father was pointing to.

He was able to see a heard of Velox heading towards their direction, he saw his father getting up as he was preparing to take at least one down.

"Father," Kakashi spoke up, earning his father's attention. "I was wondering if I can handle this hunt myself."

Yukio was slightly surprised by his son's request but he just gave Kakashi a smile. "Sure, let's see what you'll do." Yukio said as he waited to see what Kakashi will do.

Kakashi gave his father a nod before looking towards the heard of Velox that were coming closer. He brought out his bow and three of his arrows as he aimed it where the Velox should be. Once they were in his sights, he fired his arrows one by one as each of them took out a Velox and only two were left and Kakashi jumped off the cliff.

He landed in front of the remaining Velox as he brought out his blade, staring down at the creatures. The Velox could only growl at the sight of Kakashi before charging towards him, Kakashi jumped over one of them and kicking it in the face as he used it as a springboard and did a flip, landing behind the other Velox as the first one slammed into the ground with a sickening thud.

Kakashi then rushed towards the Danger Beast and one of them tried to bite down at Kakashi, only for the masked shinobi to avoid the attack and counter by thrusting his blade into the Velox's torso. The Velox let out a cry of pain as Kakashi soon pulled his blade away, seeing the Danger Beast falling to the ground. Kakashi could only stare at the beast slowly losing its life, but he felt a pat on the back.

He looked to see his father grinning. "Great job, Kakashi. You're really proving you're a great hunter."

"It's thanks to both yours and mother's training, father." Kakashi said, though some of it were from his training he did in his previous life time.

Yukino could only let out a sheepish chuckle from his son's word. "Well I know you'll surpass us soon, heck, you might even surpass the chief." His father praised before looking towards the Velox and bringing out his own knife. "Well, time to for the butchering process."

"Father," Kakashi spoke up. "Do you mind if you can handle the butchering process?"

Yukino nodded his head. "I don't mind, after all, you managed to take all of them down." Yukio said as Kakashi stood behind his father as he faced the opposite direction. "I guess you're still uncomfortable with the butchering process." Yukio pointed out as he cut open the beast and began looking for the eggs that can be found within the beast.

"I'm sorry." Kakashi said, he could handle the killing but butchering the creatures was something he wasn't fond of doing.

Yukio shook his head as he brought out a bag and began placing the green colored eggs in the bag. "There's nothing to apologize for, in fact, I admire that side of you. You're truly one of a kind, you're not completely heartless like everyone else in the village. I mean, look at the chief's daughter, she's able to kill and butcher without a single sign of hesitation and that kinda scares me." Yukio admitted as he moved on to the next body to gather more eggs.

"All because of the chief's way of thinking." Kakashi stated as he crossed his arm over his chest.

Yukio couldn't help but let out a sigh. "I know what you mean, but that's been the rule of the tribe ever since the birth of it. Your mother and I have been taught this rule by the pervious chief and we just gotten too use to it that we're not even bothered by it. But it doesn't mean that I agree with those rules, I just don't see us changing our ways anytime soon."

Kakashi fell silent as he remembered a couple of things about the chief's way of thinking. He was little when this happened but he still remembered so clearly of the attack on the tribe by a large number of Danger Beasts that invaded their home. Many people had passed away on that day, including Esdeath's mother and when one of the tribe members asked their chief if he was fine.

'Of course I am, why wouldn't I be? She died because she was weak, it couldn't be helped if she wasn't strong.' Kakashi remembered those words and he couldn't help but feel upset at that man. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt his father's hand on his shoulder. Kakashi turned to see his father.

"Well that's enough hunting for a day, let's head back home to your mother." Yukio said, earning a nod from Kakashi as they began traveling back to their village. They finally reached their village and they were greeted by the village's chief.

"Ah, Yukio, you've returned." The chief called out as he walked towards them, Esdeath was by his side.

Yukio nodded his head before handing the bag to their chief. "Yeah, the hunt went well. We managed to find some Velox and Kakashi here was able to take them down." Yukio said as he placed his hand on his son's shoulder.

"Is that so?" The chief said with an impressed tone as he looked at Kakashi. "You're quite an excellent hunter for your age, though Esdeath has been showing some impressive progress as well."

Esdeath turned to her father as she gave him a smile. "Thank you, Father."

The chief looked between both Kakashi and Esdeath before a small smirk formed across his lips and facing Yukio. "Say, Yukio, how about a friendly competition?"

"Competition?" Yukio repeated as a slight surprised look appeared on his face, as well as Kakashi.

The chief nodded his head before continuing to speak. "That's correct, I can't help but notice our two children being skilled hunters for at their young age. So why not have a friendly competition to see who can hunt down the biggest Danger Beast they can find?"

Yukio couldn't help but fall silent in worry, sure he'd let Kakashi go out to hunting by himself but he'd only bring back something that he can handle. Yukio could only scratch the back of his head. "I'm not sure about that, wouldn't it be dangerous to let the kids go out to find something too big for them to handle?"

The chief let out a chuckle as he placed his hand on Esdeath's shoulder. "There's nothing to worry about, I know my Esdeath is strong enough to handle something as simple as that."

Yukio was still uncomfortable with the idea but he snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Kakashi speaking.

"Father, you don't need to worry about me. I'm sure I'll be able to handle myself." Kakashi said, earning a sigh from Yukio.

"If you say so." Yukio said as he faced the chief. "Well I guess we'll be having that competition after all."

"Excellent." The chief said as he turned to Kakashi and his daughter. "So you'll have some time to gather the equipment you'll need and I expect the two of you to return in the morning with the prizes you've earn."

"I'll do my best, Father." Esdeath said before giving a quick glance to Kakashi as she left to gather what she need.

Kakashi soon did the same as he went to gather his own supplies, it took him a couple of minutes but he'd managed to pack some pieces of woods for a fire, a blanket, arrows, his bow and his blade as well as a leather canteen with water. Kakashi was about to leave the village but he had to go see someone before he did, returning to his family's tent, he opened it and saw his mother currently knitting something.

His mother looked at him with a happy expression as she placed her stuff down before rushing towards Kakashi to embrace him in a hug. "Kakashi, I'm glad to see you've returned."

Kakashi couldn't help but smile softly underneath his mask as she returned the hug to his mother, he wasn't used to receiving a motherly love in his old world but he was glad to have a mother by his side in this one.

She soon pulled apart from the hug as she looked down at him. "Where's your father?"

"Father had to leave today's hunt somewhere, however, I have to leave for another hunt soon." Kakashi answered, earning a surprised expression from his mother.

"Another hunt? So soon?" She asked.

Kakashi nodded his head before speaking. "Yeah, the chief had requested a competition between Esdeath and I. The two of us has to head out soon for the hunting competition."

Noelle couldn't help but let out a sigh. "Oh dear, is that so? Well…Just promise me that you'll be careful, alright?"

Kakashi gave his mother a nod, earning a smile from her before she gave his forehead a kiss. "Then go show them who's the better hunter."

Kakashi smiled softly underneath his mask as he left the tent. As he stated earlier, he wasn't used to having motherly love in his life but he was thankful he did. He would be sure to hunt the biggest Danger beast he could find and make his family proud.
