"Kakashi Sensei! Watch out!" The white haired man felt an intense pain in his chest and then as he fell to the ground the pain went numb. He could only watch as his students kept fighting the blue haired shinobi. They were outnumbered and now his students kept giving him worried looks. He could no longer hold back the blood with his hand and it began to flow out. That's when he noticed one of the blue haired shinobi's about to perform a sneak attack. Kakashi used the last of his strength and he ran in front of the attacker and took the powerful water attack straight on. He fell to the ground for a second time, but this time was different he knew this was his final resting spot. He heard a scream and he saw Yamato and an AMBU force come just in time. He felt a smile reach his face. His students would survive. He saw different faces above him most were blurry. He knew his final moments were coming.

He began to clear his throat and everyone was silent immediately, "Naruto, Sasuke please look after Anko and my king."

"Kakashi Sensei just hold on don't die!" He heard Naruto yell with signs of crying in his voice, "Don't you want to see your kid! Just h-hold o-on."

"Shut up dobe!" Sasuke yelled at Naruto. "Of course we'll look after them Kakashi Sensei, Thank you for e-everything."

"Thank you," Kakashi cleared his throat trying to remove some of the blood. "Remember what you're fighting for and tell everyone I'm sorry for leaving."

Then the white haired man took his final breath and even the most jaded of the ANBU couldn't help, but look away from their dead comrade.

Kakashi watched as the last flower was thrown on his grave before he turned around.

"Yo, it's been awhile." He said.

"How can you be so casual in this situation?" Minato asked.

"You really are weird Kakashi and your super old." Obito said trying to sound mean.

"He's right you're even taller then I am." Minato said pouting.

"Kakashi you really should have taken better care of yourself after we left!" Rin said angrily.

"Ah sorry about that." Kakashi said trying to calm the girl down.

"Well we better get back everyone is waiting for you." Minato said looking at is student.

"I guess we should go then." Kakashi as he slowly looked back at his grave and those that still surrounded it one last time. "Goodbye everyone thank you for caring." He turned back to his old team and said, "I really missed you guys."
