Chapter 7 Where Is He Now
Kakashi POV
I looked at Sasuke he was asleep peacefully on the couch and I smiled at him gently lifting him up and holding him in my arms for a moment just cradling him. Before I started to walk up the stairs so that I could put him to bed. By the time that I got him to the top of the stairs he started to move slightly. "Dad" I just placed him on the bed pulling the blankets up to his chin while closing the blinds of the windows. Making sure that there was no light slipping into the room. When I turned back to look at Sasuke his eyes were slowly fluttering open as he looked at me. This look of exhaustion spreading on his face as I walked over to the bed resting a hand on top of his head. I watched his eyes search the room for a moment before letting out a low groan.
"Where are you going?" I laughed at him as he groans out and looked at me his eyes starting to squint as the light filtered through little holes into the room as he looked at me. "Dad where are you going." I looked at him as he slowly started to rise out of the bed holding himself up on his elbows. I smiled lightly and pushed him down on the bed, kissing his temple lightly. "I'm going to head to the bridge and train the kids. I will be back okay?" I watch him slowly nodding his head as he rolled onto his side and slowly closed his eyes. I watched him sleep for a few moment, I don't know what's up with him. Maybe another nightmare that kept him up all night and worried him.
I walked down the street the sun beating against my skin the summer winds whipping around me forcing me to sweat. I sighed to myself soon it would be Sasuke's birthday and by then maybe things will have started to become normal. I smiled at the people that were looking at me smiling and waving at me as they passed. But was mind was cluttered and busy with everything that has happened lately. Eventually, I was going to talk to Itachi about all of this there's so much that he has more to tell me I could tell by the look on his face that he wanted to tell me something. Not to mention that Mikoto's birthday is tomorrow my thoughts and my emotions were going to be all over the place. I smiled to myself but I felt it drop from my face when I noticed that Naruto was running over to me this couldn't have been good.
His bright blue eyes were sparkling with excitement as he held his hands to his chest. "I heard that Sasuke was back home, come he didn't tell me." I looked past Naruto's orange-clad shoulder to see that Sakura was looking at me. Her bright green eyes widening as she shifted her vision to Naruto and then her eye widens even bigger. I knew at that moment that she realized that she wasn't supposed to telling Naruto. I sighed and turn back to look at Naruto his bright blue eyes sparkling as he waited for me to respond. "Well, the reason is that Sasuke wanted nothing to do with you. Oh wait that wasn't what I meant, he just didn't want to make a big deal about it and he knew that you would." He looked at me this shocked expression on his face as the smile dropped from his face and a frown started to form.
The rest of the training was awkward, and Naruto ran the moment that it ended and I walked slowly down the roads. I looked up to see that there was a black crow flying ahead. That had to be Itachi as I looked back down at the road the crow was in the middle of the road as I walked towards him and the bird flew off. I chased after it and ended up deep in the woods where I was met with a shadowy figure. I watch him for a moment before walking closer. I walked closer to him till I was able to see the black and red pattern of his Sharingan, did the kid never use his normal eyes. I watched him but there was no change his posture."So what do you know about Orochimaru and what he intended to do with Sasuke."
I rested the back of my head to see the sun was setting off in the distance, the bright blue sky began to darken. I looked down to see that Itachi was frowning as he looked at me "Orochimaru is going to come to get Sasuke when he is ready. Which could be whenever. Did you ask the village about the massacre? I could tell that you didn't believe me the other night." I nodded my head he was right there was no chance in hell that I would ever believe anything that he ever said without there being proof. I glared at him, before nodding my head, "Yeah I did, now what do you mean, and how did you know where he was." I looked at him as he let out this large sigh. "I was tracking you actually and after awhile I managed to see Kabuto and I followed him back to the cave. When I saw what they were doing to him it broke my heart so I went in there and helped bust him out. "
I let out this sigh and nodded my head I didn't even think to go searching for one of his lackeys or to use Itachi to my advantage. I nodded my head there wasn't much to say and this kid had like no conversational skills. "Well if you really want to know what's going on with Orochimaru and Sasuke then you are going to have to ask him." I heard the way he phrased it like it was my fault he was taken. Yeah like I knew I was going to be put under a genjutsu and did nothing to stop it. But as I looked at his eyes there was something clawing at me, like there was a question in my mind that I had to ask.
"It's your mothers birthday tomorrow are you going to see her?" I look at him he really had no right to go see her after what he did. Even if he didn't have a choice if he wanted to save his still could have tried harder than one conversation with them. He could have spared them anyway there were so many ways to work around that ultimatum but he didn't and that was his choice. When I looked at him he let out this aggravated sigh/snarl I guess he could see what I was really thinking through my eyes.I let out my own growl in return but he didn't say a word. What was this kid? "I don't think I can ever tell Sasuke the truth about any of it and I don't want you to either, not till I figure out how it will affect him." I looked at Itachi, this corner lighting, his eyes as he looked at me.
But he didn't say a word, didn't disagree, didn't say that he should know the truth, or that it wasn't fair he was hated but the village wasn't. All he did was nod his head and walk away without a word. I was so tired it that stoic shit it was fucking annoying all the Uchiha did that. Buried their feeling and pretend like they weren't there it is what lead up to their explosive tempers. But what can I do but head home and think this all out? I ran off back to the house at top speed I am sure that Sasuke didn't enjoy spending the night alone in the same house he was taken from. I was almost back to the house when I heard this yelling coming from the house, it sounded like, two people arguing what the hell was happening. I was only gone for a couple of minutes. I ran to the house and looked through the window, I could see this bright blonde hair. Great! Naruto.
