AN: Hey everyone. Sorry it took me so long to post this chapter. I got a bit of writers block. I'm not sure how long it would take me to get the next chapter to all of you guys. Any suggestions to what you want in the story are welcome. It might help me a bit if I get some inspiration.

Well, I hope you all enjoy the chapter.

Updated 22/6/13: Last part of the chapter hadn't been betaed yet so I edited it.

Chapter 20

Kakashi was finally recovered enough that he was allowed to train again, though he was only allowed to train for a few hours and not too extensively. Today, he could finally start to learn about his own heritage and it secretly made him quite excited.

As they reached the Hatake training grounds, Akiyo immediately started to make the seals for the summoning jutsu after having bitten his thumb to draw the required blood. In a puff of smoke Urufu and his team appeared. A wolfish grin spread over the elderly wolf as he immediately sensed the change.

"I'm surprised you actually accomplished it." Urufu complimented.

"Aa, though it was quite hellish to go through." Kakashi replied, giving the wolf an eye smile while rubbing the back of his head.

"I can imagine that." Urufu nodded. "Good, now that that problem is out of the way, we can start the training."

Urufu motioned for Akira to come forward, who then stepped towards Kakashi and stopped in front of him. He took a scroll from his back and summoned a Tanto, much like the one he used when he was younger that his father had given him. Kakashi took it, a glint appearing in his eyes as he experimentally slashed the air with it to get a feel of it.

Kakashi then called forward the white chakra. To his surprise, and all those in his presence, it burst forward more intense than he intended. It would have scorched him if he hadn't pulled the white chakra back at the last minute. In his surprise the elder Hatake fell backward to the ground .

"Well, that was surprising. Are you alright, dad?" Akiyo asked.

"I'm fine. I didn't expected that to happen." Kakashi said, frowning a little as he pulled himself back up.

"I think you speak for all of us. It seems that that eye did something good after all." Urufu said.

"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked confused.

"By suppressing the white chakra for all those years, it helped to build up the chakra's strength." Urufu explained.

"No kidding!" Kakashi breathed.

He stared at his hands. The chakra that had flowed through him had felt definitely different. More pure, maybe…he wasn't really sure how else to describe it. His chakra capability had surely increased.

"I advise doing some chakra control exercises. The white chakra can be quite self-damaging if you don't have it under your control." Urufu advised.

Kakashi nodded and sighed. It seems it would take him quite some time until he could finally learn about his heritage…though he was happy that he had finally gotten access to it without getting hurt by it.

The coming weeks after Kakashi's first try at using the white chakra, Akiyo finally started doing some low leveled D-Rank missions. As he did those missions, his dad would be focusing on his chakra control while Akiyo himself would busy himself doing the various chores the clients asked for.

Akiyo found it quite refreshing doing the chores on his own will and not being forced to do them. This was what ninja's did, though he supposed the higher ranked missions would be quite different.

He was still in training so he really didn't mind. Plus he would be able to spend more time with his dad since he was assigned to tutor him. Though there would come a time when he would be put into a team and become a Genin for real. His dad would then be put back as the leader of team 7, the team Sakura-san and this Naruto were a part of. (He hadn't met Naruto yet, though from what he had heard about the boy he would probably like him.)

Right now he was put on a mission to catch a cat. The cat's name was Tora and his dad had warned him the beast was an evil little bastard.

Akiyo decided to test his sense of smell and see if he could tranquilize the cat using one of the spells of those wizards. He hadn't really been practicing any techniques he had found in the wizard ministry. Even his dad didn't know about it.

It didn't take long for him to track down the cat. As he approached the feline, it seemed to be wary of him. Making sure the cat wouldn't notice him, he quickly used his converted version of the spell that would stun people…or, in this case, an animal.

"Shisshin." He said quietly, sending the red colored beam in the direction of the cat.

Before the feline could react it had already been hit and successfully been stunned. Akiyo could then easily pick up the animal without the danger of being scratched.

"Oi, Dad, I got the cat. How's your training going?" Akiyo said through his ear piece.

"Already? I could have done with some more time." His dad replied.

"Well, you can continue after we report this mission in." Akiyo told his dad.

"Fine, meet me at the Hokage tower." Said the elder Hatake in return.

Kakashi looked perplexed at the unconscious cat in his son's arms.

"What exactly did you do to it?" He asked.

"I only stunned it. The technique will wear off after a while." Akiyo answered in reassurance.

"I hope you're right." Kakashi replied as he lead his son to the Mission Assignment Desk to report their mission in of capturing the Fire Daimyo's wife's cat, Tora.

"Oh, my sweet Tora!" Said Madam Shijimi. "Look at him sleeping! He must have tired himself out, the poor thing!"

Akiyo sweat dropped at the woman's antics. If he were the cat, he would've probably run away, too. Since they were finished reporting the mission, both Hatake's went to the Hatake training grounds. Kakashi returned to his chakra control exercises, while Akiyo just relaxed.

Some time passed by again, and aside from training with his dad and the low ranked missions he completed, he found some time to spend with his friends.

It was the weekend now. This meant he could spend most of the day with his friends since they didn't have to go to the academy on the weekends.

His dad has decided to take him and his friends to a festival being held in a neighboring village. Akiyo had never gone on a trip before, let alone to a festival of any kind. When he still lived with the Dursleys, they always let Mrs. Figg watch him as they went to do something fun.

According to them, freaks didn't deserve to have fun and go on day trips. Even now he hadn't done anything of the like. He had stayed in the village spending time with his dad, going to the academy and making some friend to spend some time with.

The occasion for the festival was for the good harvest brought in that year. There were many activities to do, and things to try. His dad had explained about all the stands that were put up on such occasions. There were food stands selling all kinds of treats, games to play such as goldfish scooping, and there were even some competitions you could participate in.

Akiyo watched with his eyes popping out as they arrived. The place was busting with people. It made him kind of nervous. Noticing the boy's distress, the elder Hatake put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it reassuringly. Akiyo looked up to see his dad smiling back at him, using his eye smile, since the elder Hatake refused to go out without his mask on.

His dad was just weird like that. At least he wasn't as weird as Maito Gai. He just hoped the two wouldn't meet today, as he was sure they would compete in one of the competitions. While his dad wasn't as crazy as Gai, he did occasionally accept one of the Green Beast's crazy challenges. And since Kakashi was recovered, he was sure that Gai wanted to challenge his dad again.

Akiyo wasn't quite sure what to do first. There was so much stuff going on, but he really didn't want to go wander off on his own. He had just barely gotten used to the people of Konoha. These were complete strangers to him, people he wasn't sure he could trust.

"How about the goldfish scooping?" Kakashi suggested, noticing his son's unease.

Akiyo just nodded and was then led by the elder Hatake to the goldfish scooping booth. Even though it seemed easy, it took him quite a while to actually scoop up a goldfish. After the end of the game he had won himself a wolf plushie. He grinned from ear to ear, being quite happy he had won something.

They went from game to game as the day progressed, while getting something to eat from one of the food stalls around lunchtime. After lunchtime they went to watch one of the competitions. It was an eating contest and Akiyo was quite amazed at how much and fast some people could digest food.

"Hey, what do you say about competing in that one?" Shigeru asked, pointing to a rather large stand with a crowd of people around the entrance. The sign announcing what it had housed underneath was posted above two draped pieces of cloth.

"A knife throwing competition?" Akiyo asked as he read the billboard with the information on.

"D'you think it would be fair if we go and compete in that one? Wouldn't we have an advantage or something?" Hanabi asked skeptically.

"Well, actually you won't have. This kind of competition is especially made for Genin level ninja." Kakashi put in.

"Really?" Akiyo asked.

The elder Hatake just nodded and gave them his usual eye smile.

"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go sign up!" Shigeru grinned.

Kakashi watched the children with some amusement as they ran up to the registration desk. He still remembered the time he, himself had joined a knife throwing contest. Minato had taken him to this same festival when he was seven, though it had only been the two of them.

It didn't take long for the competition to start, and the elder Hatake wasn't surprised by how good his son and two charges were fairing. Akiyo had been training with his friends quite a lot, so both the Nara and the Hyuga were at least at Genin level already. He wouldn't be surprised if the other two would graduate early as well, with the rate they were advancing.

None of them actually won, though they did come close. Akiyo managed to snag fourth place.

"Man, this sucks. We were so close to winning." Shigeru whined.

"I did say it was a competition on Genin level. Most of the competitors were at least a Genin for a year, which means they had more experience." Kakashi replied.

"We did good for being rookies though, ne dad?" Akiyo grinned at his father.

He got a hair ruffle and an eye smile in return.

Albus Dumbledore had finally found a way to cross the dimensions. What was required was an extremely difficult set of runes and quite a lot of magic power. He knew that doing this alone would be quite foolish, so he had gathered the Order of the Phoenix for this very important task.

"So, you finally found the boy?" Minerva asked.

"Fawkes did, though something happened that broke the bond between us." Albus replied.

"So, what you're saying is that we can't rely on that bird anymore?" Snape asked, frowning.

"I'm afraid not; however, I did find another way to reach the boy, but I will need the help of three others." Albus answered.

"Count me in." came from none other than Remus Lupin.

Albus nodded. He had thought that at least the werewolf would wanted to join, though the old man was a little surprised as Severus also stepped forward .

"It would seem we will need just one more volunteer." Albus said as all the other order members seemed hesitant to step forward.

Eventually, it was Arthur Weasley who took the step forward.

"Arthur! What about the children?" reprimanded Molly.

"I know that what we're about to do can be quite dangerous, but what about You-Know-Who? If he somehow is able to return we would be in even greater danger. That boy is our only hope, and if dimension jumping is our only chance to get him back, I would gladly do it." Arthur replied with confidence.

"Well-spoken Arthur." Dumbledore nodded in the Weasley's direction. "If everyone is ready then let's get started."

All four men took their place in the pre drawn circle of runes. All of them sat down in a lotus position and took a dagger in their hand. At the exact same time all of them cut the palm of their other hand to let the blood drip down onto a predetermined spot in front of them.

With one word, said simultaneously, they activated the runes. The runes started to light up and, with a sudden flash, all four men were gone from the room.

AN: I hope you all liked it and I really hope for some suggestions to help me to keep going.
