"What do you think?"
"Well, I don't know her."
"That's exactly the point. No one in the whole village seems to know her."
"Minato…"
"Hmm?"
The Hokage was sitting in his chair behind the desk and looked out of the window watching the pink hair kunoichi passing by the tower. As Sarutobi, who was standing beside him also watching the unfamiliar girl, didn't went on, Minato looked at him.
"…It doesn't matter. I am seeing things", the former Hokage sighed "How long has she been here?"
"About six hours", the blond man answered.
"Did she mention something…which made you feel suspicious?" The old man asked in a low voice.
"That's the problem…she wouldn't tell us much-" Just in that moment he remembered something Sakura had said, when she had arrived.
"Why didn't it work, Tsunade-sama?!"
"Actually…she seems to know Tsunade-hime", Minato said.
"Tsunade? That's strange…usually she doesn't get involved with people except she wants money", Sarutobi giggled at the thought of his former student.
"Mmh…should we get Tsunade here? Maybe she can give us some answers", the Hokage suggested not very convinced himself.
"No…let us observe the stranger at first and then, when we get too suspicious, we can still call Tsunade here."
Both of them turned away from the window. As Sarutobi sat down on the chair on the opposite of the Hokage's desk, he smiled widely at the blond man.
"Well?"
"Well what?" Minato asked confused by the old man's smile and question.
"How does your relationship with Kushina-san go?"
"Where the hell could he be?" Sakura wondered, when she wandered along the streets of Konoha passing by the Hokage tower not aware that she was being observed.
The pink hair girl was searching for a certain shinobi…her future sensei. She wanted to talk to him and ask him what exactly his problem was. Of course she was a stranger and she knew, that everybody had had the right of being suspicious of her, but that didn't give Kakashi the right to act like the way he had done towards her.
Sakura spaced out and remembered her talk with Kakashi-sensei in the future.
"I was not very friendly and…very suspicious of everything. I guess I will give you a hard time, when you are in the past"
'You didn't have to understate this much', she sighed 'You were a damn brat! You could have told me that!'
"Ah! The memorial!" Sakura's head shot up, as she thought of the place Kakashi first had told them about his best friend.
She hurried and ran to the training ground. Each step, which brought her nearer to the memorial, made her more nervous. Suddenly she was kind of shy - almost afraid. But this was her Sensei she wanted to talk to and not some crazy murderer. There was no need to feel that way. However the glance of Kakashi, when he first saw her or when she was told that she could become a member of his team, was more than frightening. Just like he wanted to say: 'I am going to kill you sooner or later.'
She sighed again.
'I am going to kill her sooner or later, Obito…Rin', Kakashi thought, as he stood in front of the memorial stone 'As soon as I can prove that she is a spy, she will be dead! I won't accept that she will take your place! She won't be a part of our team…ever! I promise.'
Kakashi closed his eye and remembered the most painful moments in his life.
"Are you okay? Rin…? Kakashi…?"
"Obito!" Kakashi and Rin shouted shocked to see their teammate lying under the rock.
Kakashi ran to him and tried to lift the rock in order to get Obito out of there, but-
"Stop it, Kakashi. For me…it is over. The right side of my body is totally squashed…I don't feel anything…"
Kakashi panted because of his useless attempt to lift the rock.
"No…Obito…why…", tears were visible in Rin's eyes.
The half dead Uchiha coughed blood running down his jaw.
"Obito!" Rin shouted worried.
"Damn it!" Kakashi yelled. "If only I had come with you from the very beginning to save Rin…! Then this wouldn't have happened…!"
Obito looked at Kakashi with a pensive glance.
"I am an idiot! And not a Jonin…!" Kakashi felt so guilty.
"Oh, right…I almost forgot…", Obito smiled with his bloody mouth, "Kakashi, I had not given you anything as a present for you becoming a Jonin…"
Rin, who now cried silently, and Kakashi regarded him wondering what he was trying to say.
"I have been thinking about something for the whole time…now…I came up with something….don't worry…it is not useless…"
Kakashi waited for him to carry on.
"I give you this Sharingan…!"
Both of the unhurt shinobi were taken by surprise.
"No matter what people say…you are an excellent Jonin…This eye is…my congratulation…please accept it."
Rin wiped away her tears knowing what she had to do next.
"Rin…please implant my Sharingan….into Kakashi's left eye…"
"Kakashi…Come over here! We are starting right away!" Rin said decidedly.
As Kakashi hesitated, Obito added:
"I am going to die soon…I will become your eye and…I will see the future…"
"Obito…" Kakashi sighed.
"So…Obito was the name of your best friend?" Sakura asked approaching the Copy Ninja.
Kakashi turned around and glared once again at Sakura with the intention to kill her. He was indeed frightening, but she tried to keep in mind, that he was her sensei…or would be…soon. Though he almost killed her with his bare glance she kept approaching him.
"What do you want?" He hissed through his teeth.
"Well…originally I intended to argue with you, however, now I just want to talk to you in order to understand you better…"
"There is no need to do that because we won't ever have to do anything with each other!" He put his hands in his pockets and started to walk away.
"We are teammates from now on…", she was not sure if that was the right thing to say at the moment.
"No! We are not! Our team already has four members!"
Geez…he really was stubborn for his age.
"Kakashi, you need to get over his death…he won't come back."
The silver hair teenager stopped in his tracks. He couldn't believe that he had to listen to that bullshit. He was so damn furious…he wanted to hit something do badly. And he wouldn't mind if he hit that girl.
"Don't talk as if you know what you are talking about! You know nothing!" He hissed again because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep his voice down.
"I know what I am talking about! You know, my teammate left Konoha because he wanted to get more power in order to take revenge on his brother! And for that he went to Orochimaru and betrayed his friends!" Sakura couldn't stop her anger.
She didn't like it that Kakashi acted like he was the only one who had to suffer because of a lost friend.
"You can't compare that! Obito is dead! He was forced to leave this world!"
"Oh, yes! It is so much better to know that someone left because he wanted to!" Sakura said sarcastically.
Once again Kakashi turned around to face her with blue thunders in his right hand. Now he really would kill her.
"Didn't. I. Tell. You. To. Shut. Up." He emphasized each single word.
"Come on, Copy Cat…Show me what you can do!" Sakura was immediately in fighting mode.
The silver hair guy was about to attack her, when a strict voice approached them.
"Kakashi! Sakura! Stop it!"
Both of them stopped in their tracks. Kakashi's Chidori vanished and they looked to the blond man.
"Minato-sensei", Kakashi sounded guilty.
Sakura snapped out of it and noticed what she almost had done. All her chakra was concentrated in her left hand and she was ready to beat the hell out of her future sensei.
"Hokage-sama", she sounded as guilty as Kakashi.
"Are you two aware of what-", he let out a heavy sigh "okay, I won't lecture you…I think you know what would have happened, if I hadn't stopped you."
Minato stopped a few meters away from them and watched every move of his students. Of course he noticed the amount of chakra Sakura had concentrated in her left hand a few seconds ago. It was obvious what damage she could have done.
"If this happens ever again, I will have you two quitting as Shinobi…do you understand me?" His anger didn't allow antagonism.
"And…as teammates I want you to cooperate as such."
"But…Sensei…" Kakashi tried to disagree.
"No, Kakashi! No buts! This is an order!"
Kakashi flinched.
'An order…', the Copy Ninja repeated in his mind.
