Kakashi was surprised at his team. They were pretty good for newbies. They actually were, probably, ready to become Genin. But, alas, he still wasn't sure.

The girl, Rindou, was a decent weapon and trap specialist. She surprised him with the pure multitude of traps. Then there was her brother. Yuki. He was almost her total opposite. He had no compatibly for weapons. And Senji just kinda was there.

On another note, Kakashi wasn't sure if he could take care of a team. He couldn't just let these talented kids go back to the academy... What to do?

A certian blond pulled him out of his thoughts," hungry..."

kakashi looked at the boy. He was holding his stomach and givinthing the puppy dog eyes. Glancing at the clock he noticed his team still had an hour to get the bells. He gave Naruto a bento and had thin sit by a tree.

it is still a mystery what happened next. a newly formed genin team captured Kakashi's son and was holding him hostage.

"sensei, give us the bells," it was Yuki that spoke. He was standing behind his sister, who was holding a kunai to his throat. Senji was sitting by Naruto.

"And if I don't?" That made the kids falter. Kakashi held back his laughter. Naruto was sitting straight up, wide eyed and... Crying? Kakashi disarmed the genin and took naruto from their grasps.

That was the last straw. These kids think they can capture a small child. Not to mention a child from their own village. how could a group be so ruthless to use a child? And it was his child. Not some random kid; Naruto was his!

Naruto held onto Kakashi for dear life. It was just like the other times... people are so mean.

The villagers hit, kicked, pushed, cussed, yelled, and anything else you can think of. He had been put in many homes and each time they hurt him. Or just kicked him out. He learned not to talk to the families very much.

The team stood in shock. They had almost gotten the bells. The plan had failed. They looked at each other.

"YOU DON'T ISE CHILDREN AS HOSTAGES!" Kakashi screamed at the team,"I should strip you of your status and have a Hyuga cut off your chakra and..."

Kakashi continued his rant for about an hour. " And lastly, I think i am just going to pass you to another instructor. You have the potential of becoming great ninja but, you need to get your goals straight. I refuse to teach a team that puts a child's life at risk, on PURPOSE!" With that Kakashi and Naruto disappeared.

The team glared at the stop the two just disappeared from. Each looked at each other and simply left. They were going to the Hokage...

A tear slid down the young boy's face. He was shaking in the arms of his guardian. His big blue eyes were filled to the brim.

Kakashi hugged the child closer to him. He whispered kind words into his ears. Kakashi just couldn't believe those kids would do that.. well, on the contrary, when he was that age, he probably would have done the same thing if the option had arisen.

But, not anymore. The academy taught better nowadays. Iruka made sure of that. They had even stopped letting kids start early.

Soon, Kakashi put the sleeping boy on his back and raced off to the Hokage. The streets were unusually crowded today. There must be a carnival or something going on... Kakashi ignored it and kept running to the Hokage Tower.

He reached the Hokage relatively fast. It had been a couple hours since he told his...uh.. team to, pretty much, get lost. They had probably already been here and on their way but, what did he care?

He enter in his normal fashion, aka:the window. The Hokage looked worried. His posture was tense and his hand was running through his hair.

"Kakashi..." the Hokage's voice was stern.

" I know you wanted me to take a team but, Hokage-sama, I won't have a team that risks the lives of children. Give them to Ibisu or Gai. I just can't have them.. Plus now I can spend more time with naruto and on missions.

" and also, they would end up getting killed... And like I said naruto. There isn't many people I can trust with him. I can trust Anko, Kurenai, Iruka, Gai or Ibiki and maybe a few clan leaders. I can't leave him with just anyone. this way you won't be short an Anbu. Me and Yuugao can still be the top team"

"Kakashi, you're serious about this...okay I will give the team to Ibisu. Just remember that you eventually will take a team"

Kakashi flashed an infamous eye-smile to his leader. He won. He loved how he could manipulate people. It was almost unreal.

The Hokage dismissed the two quickly and went to more on the paper work Kakashi just gave him. Ibisu would make a good teacher. He had the determination to teach students.

Kakashi carefully, as to not wake the sleeping boy, walked back to his home. He set the blond in his bed and went through his usual routine for the day, which was just reading really. Just as he was setting down his book for a nap Naruto ran in the room as hyper as ever. His sunshine colored hair glittered in the afternoon light that was coning in from the windows.

A smile was upon Naruto's face. It would soon be infamous. Naruto looked up at his new parent. He was so, oh so, very tall, like a giant Naruto started giggling again. Much to Kakashi's dismay, He wouldn't stop. But,hey, at least he is making a sound! The boy never talked.

A thought hit him. Had the boy ever experienced the joy of Christmas?

"Naruto, have you ever gotten a present?" The boy looked up at him and shook his head, an obvious no. Kakashi was a bit surprised. None at all? where had his gifts gone?

"Do you want to help me get gifts for everyone? Nad maybe Santa will come," He got a questioning look," Santa Clause is a man who brings presents to kids everywhere. He brings them to the kids house but, they have to be good, because Santa is watching. He wears a red suit and has a white beard."

He explained the best he could. He never believe in Santa but, his family was messed up as a kid. Naruto smiled at him and said something like okay. Kakashi picked up the small child and walked out to the shed behind the house. Hopefully the Christmas lights still work.

A dust bowl and few spiders later, they had the boxes of decorations out. They got to work sorting it out. An ornament here and a reef there. By late afternoon everything was about of the boxes and sorted.

Deciding to get the tree another day, Kakashi had the blonde and tinsel around the house and set out small Christmas dolls. By evening the house was al decked out for christmas. all that was left to do was decorate

Naruto pulled on his dad's pant leg and looked up with big, pleading eyes. Kakashi determined the look almost immediately. The boy was hungry. He scooped up his son and went to make dinner. Mac n cheese was the perfect dinner.

After dinner Kakashi gave Naruto a bath. (A/N is it bad that as I wrote this I diagrammed that sentence... Naruto is an indirect object) Naruto, who was not to keen on baths, ran to his favorite hiding place; under the table. His three-year old mind knew Kakashi wouldn't find him. Of course, he was wrong.

"Kashi, No!" Naruto yelled as he was picked up. He squirmed as much as he could but, it held no avail.

"Naru, You gotta take a bath or else you won't get to play," Kakashi used the blond's greatest love against him. Play time was the best part. After his bath he got to play until Kashi made him go to bed!

Naruto took his bath peacefully that night. Once he was all dressed and ready to play he spied something shiny. It was a silver platform just sitting in the bathroom. It was also called a scale. Naruto jumped on it and saw all the numbers go up. He could read a little and the first number was a three and the second was a... two?

"Kashi, how much I cost?" His sentences were improving little by little.

And once again Kakashi almost burst out laughing. The kid knew so little. "It's a scale and it tells your weight,"

Kakashi was grinning under his mask. Man, how he loved this kid. He was glad he adopted him. The youngster brightened his days. He would give him up for anything. The three-year old was just so cute!

Maybe, just maybe, he had been right adopting the boy. It was Minato's wish and Kakashi had his other reasons.

"Naru, do you want to see Hinata and Shikamaru tomorrow," He already knew the answer and he went to call, Lady Hyuga and Shikaku.

Sorry I had a horrible time writing this. i had SO much writers block. Here ya go. sasu?
