Another omake, seen the film already, was it a blast indeed. This small piece takes place right after Naruto leaves for his training, right after Tsunade sent Kohaku, Yugao, Kurenai, Tayuya to the S-rank mission. The four had to prepare for the mission.
Enjoy.
Omake 2: Uchiha Mikoto
Kaseki Kohaku left the Hokage Tower, adjusting the eyepatch on his head. His team, Yugao, Kurenai and Tayuya had dispersed to gather what they need and assemble at the front gate of Konoha.
The team had an hour to assemble, that left Kohaku some time before his mission began. He rushed home and he had changed his attire from his ANBU uniform to his red t-shirt, black hoodie and dark grey pants.
As he exited his home, his mother was heading to the house along the path.
"Son?" Hiroko greeted him.
"Kaa-san, I have a mission." Kohaku said.
"A mission? On what?"
"The dinosaur attacks, stop this gang war that's been going around our borders." Kohaku said.
"Oh I see. Maybe we can finally stop having these crooks trying to sell us fake gems." Hiroko crossed her arms. Kohaku truthfully was not really too comfortable, having a conversation like this with his mother who did not really have long talks like this then.
"What else is in your mission?" She asked him.
"Uh…" Kohaku was reluctant in sharing the final part of his mission.
"What you're not allowed to tell me?" Hiroko said to him, "Maybe I can help with some advice? Or maybe the whole of the Kaseki Clan can help."
Kohaku considered his options, the situation with the Uchiha he had to bring back. He really should not tell everyone single person about the truth behind the Uchiha. But his clan may be the first one to be called up in aiding the situation when or if the Uchiha in question ends up in Kohaku's custody.
"The village cannot know this Kaa-san." Kohaku said.
"Ok." Hiroko said.
"I mean no one in the village."
"Uhuh."
"I need to find Uchiha Itachi. Satomi was right about what happened with the Uchiha, Danzo was behind it all, Itachi was forced under orders by Danzo. Tsunade-sama has ordered for Itachi's return." Kohaku explained.
It was clear that Hiroko was trying to process what her son just told her.
"Kaa-san I have to go already." He said.
"Oh ok, I'll uh…I'll see if the clan can do something to help when you get back." Hiroko placed her hand on his cheek. "Please take care of yourself."
"I will. Itachi's not going to a problem. Bye." Kohaku took off at that.
Kohaku had left the Kaseki Compound, but there was one last he would like to go to before his mission started.
He was at the cemetery, where all the fallen comrades of Konoha were laid to rest here.
Kaseki Kohaku was standing before the headstone of the person he intended to meet, the one who gave him his new left eye.
Uchiha Mikoto.
"Ok um, hello Uchiha Mikoto." Kohaku was struggling to find the proper words. "Firstly I would like to uh thank you for giving me a left eye." He took off his eyepatch and showed the Sharingan in his left eye socket.
"And uh I would like to let you know that I've been assigned to bringing Itachi back." Kohaku paused at that. "Itachi and I, we knew each other, though we were not really close. I don't know if uh you remember but we uh met before Mikoto-sama. You and your husband arrived into our compound."
Flashback
A twelve year old Kohaku was approaching the Kaseki Compound in the evening, before he opened the doors however he could voices inside.
"I'm sorry Uchiha-sama but the carnivores are not to be on display. Non-active shinobis fall under civilians according to the Hokage." He could heard his uncle Choten speaking.
"We're not here for a tour of the animals you people keep here." Kohaku another male voice. Kohaku opened the door and entered in.
There was Choten, and the Uchiha heads, Fugaku and Mikoto.
They all faced the twelve year old entering the compound.
"Ah my nephew. Kaseki Kohaku." Choten said. Fugaku arms folded had a neutral face, Mikoto gave a smile to the boy.
"Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Mikoto." He heard his mother coming from upstairs of the main building. He stiffened as his mother came down the stairs to join Choten.
"Excuse me." Kohaku bowed and made his way downstairs to the basement.
Kaseki Hiroko stood in front of the two Uchihas. And she was standing just as tall as Fugaku. Mikoto was quite impressed with such a height from a woman.
"Is there something we can help with?" Hiroko said folding arms, her facial expression just like Fugaku.
He overheard Fugaku resuming his conversation with Choten.
"We're here because we want to ask some questions about Uchiha Shisui, he's missing and we have reason to believe of foul play."
Flashback end
Kohaku kept his eyes on the grave stone. "I can't imagine what it would be like for you, to know that your son was going to betray you in the worst way possible. I don't know what it would like for Itachi, taking your own comrades away. But I know what it is likes, to lose family. Losing clan members and dinosaurs when we tried to escape from Kirigakure, losing my father, I never knew him." Kohaku bit his lip. "And losing my sister, and it's…my fault."
Kohaku took a long sigh. "I knew Itachi. I can't promise you anything Mikoto-sama. But I'll do what I can, to bring him back. Maybe we can take down who's truly responsible to answer for this chaos. And…thank you for the eye."
Kohaku left the cemetery at that to join his team, but he was unaware that a pair of eyes watching him. A pair of Mangekyou Sharingan watching him.
