Not entirely happy with this chapter. I think a lot about the relationship between Sasuke and Kakashi after the war, but I never really wrote about it before this. Let me know what you think.

Also, THIS CHAPTER HAS SASUNARU. Or mentions thereof. I am incapable of writing sauce without it like honestly I am trash.


Sasuke.

Well, I suppose I should be grateful you are reading this, if you are. You were never one for this sort of sentimentality, though I'll wager Naruto forced you into it.

Don't worry, the purpose of this letter is not to go on about the past. After, what's a little attempted murder between friends? Several of my friends have tried to kill me. I seem to attract that sort of thing. Mind you, several of them have been Uchihas, so who knows what the common factor is.

Moving on.

I deliberated for a long time over this letter. There was an older one, from before you left the village, but I got rid of it after you left. I was unsure if I should leave you this, but regardless of your actions, you are my student.

I assume you are losing patience by now, so I will get to the point. I have two things I am leaving you. The first can be found in a box at the Hatake estate, on the mantelpiece in the main room of the largest house. Inside the box are photographs and objects.

I never told you this, but I knew your brother, before the massacre. He was on my ANBU squad, and we spent a lot of time together. During that time, another squad member took some photographs of us. It was against protocol, but I still have them. I thought you might like to have them.

I always felt like something was off with the report regarding the Uchiha massacre and Itachi. Since Danzo was involved, I should have known better then to believe what I was told.

Regarding the Hatake estate, I am leaving you that as well. I assume you will not want to go back to the Hatake estate, and the likelihood of anyone letting you rent and apartment is quite small. Also, until you and Naruto get over whatever it is between you too and just get together already, I doubt you will want to keep sleeping on his floor. You can do whatever you like with the estate, as there is no one left who needs it. You and Naruto can move in and work on that whole reviving the clan thing. (Yes I realize that is impossible, but an excuse for lots of sex is always good.) Technically part of the estate may belong to Naruto, if he decides to accept my offer, but you can take that up with him. Aside from that, all you will need to do is change the tatami mats in the grand bedroom on the first floor of the main house. In case you ever need to know, it's pretty much impossible to get blood out of tatami flooring.

That's all, I suppose. I may have some documents on the Sharingan somewhere, but I doubt you would find them helpful.

Live a good life, Sasuke. Do not let yourself be ruled by your ghosts forever. Take it from someone who knows.

-Kakashi Hatake
