Chronicles of Hatake Kakashi
By Lindosa Haddon
Chapter 2: Training
Kakashi kept reading his book as the time went by slowly. He was so indulged in the book that he forgot about a meeting that he needed to attend in the Hokage's office. The third was waiting for him so he could talk about his new team. Kakashi looked around a bit before he remembered what time it was.
"We need to get watches." He thought to himself.
He moved quickly as he made his way to the Hokage's office. He finally arrived still reading his book as always he walked into the office.
"You are late Kakashi." The third stood up, as he shifted in his seat.
He walked towards the window that over looked the whole village. He had a magnificent place to stay in, and it was quite roomy.
"I am sorrySandaime Hokage (Third FireShadow)." Sarutobi smiled at Kakashi.
"You know you can call me by my real name Kakashi." He shifted again by the window.
Kakashi was reading but he put his book away before Sarutobi looked at him. He puffed on his pipe blowing the smoke here and there as he walked towards his desk again. Kakashi smiled at the third as he watched him moved around his desk and sit down.
"Tell me what your new team is like?" He smiled as he looked at his crystal ball.
Kakashi looked at the Hokage lazily like and spoke in a boring tone.
"I don't like them." He shrugged as the Hokage laughed.
"Very well, that is all Kakashi." He nodded as Kakashi walked out the door and outside.
He pulled out his book once again as he walked slowly down the street. It was already an hour past the time he was supposed to meet his new team. But he didn't mind being late. It was in his nature to do that.
Kakashi stopped reading to look up at the sky above. It was silent in the village no one was really out and about. It was a perfect place to relax and just have some ramen. He thought about Naruto who loved ramen and especially when it came from Ichiraku Ramen. Kakashi was passing the book stand when he stopped dead in his tracts. His leg was stretched all the way out in front of him about to make a step when he was caught in a daze. He ran over to the book stand and began to skim the shelves giggling and making weird noises.
"Ohh Hehe Ohh," He was caught up in his thoughts that he didn't realize the huge build board behind him that had an advertisement for Jiraiya's new movie.
"Make-out Paradise," Kakashi turned around and stared up at the huge sign.
"Oh Oh my," He ran over to the sign and practically had a heart attack.
"A movie, I have to go reserve my ticket." He ran off towards his house.
Kakashi walked around a bit more reading his book when it dawned on him that he was suppose to meet his students on the bridge three hours ago.
"Oops." He said to himself with a slight smirk creeping on his face under his mask.
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were all waiting on the bridge since five in the morning and it was now eight and Kakashi still hasn't arrived.
"Where is he?" Naruto pouted as he looked around.
Sakura was tired and she didn't want to wait there any longer. Sasuke didn't even say anything he just stood there as Naruto complained.
"Would you shut you, idiot," Sasuke looked at Naruto when he said it.
Kakashi disappeared in a split and finally arrived on top of the bridge with such stealth and speed that no one noticed him at first.
"Good morning, guys." He smiled as he held up his hand in a waving position.
Naruto looked at Sasuke and growled in frustration and anger.
"What did you say?" Right when Naruto was going to jump at Sasuke, they were interrupted by Kakashi appearing and speaking to them.
Naruto looked up at Kakashi and began to yell.
"Where the heck have you been?" Kakashi smiled under his mask.
"I got lost on the road to life." He held up his hand a little longer before putting it down.
"You are a liar!" Naruto yelled on top of his lungs at his sensei.
"You are late and do you know what time it is?" He pointed as he yelled.
His face was cringed up and red from anger and frustration.
"Well, let's get going." Kakashi jumped down and led the way to the woods.
"Ok, this is your task get these two bells from before noon or you will not eat." Kakashi took out a timer and sat it on a log.
"Alright begin." He hit the timer and everyone disappeared.
He looked around to make sure everyone was concealed. Kakashi didn't move an inch he made sure everyone was concealed before he decided to sit down. He was about to read his book when he remembered something.
He thought to himself, "The basics of a ninja are being able to hide yourself well. Good they are well hidden as I would expect."
Kakashi sat down on the log and looked up at the sky for a moment but then he decided to get up.
"Come and fight me!" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs.
Kakashi was a little annoyed. A sweat drop appeared on the back of his head as he looked at Naruto.
"You seem to be a little off with the whole concept of a ninja concealing oneself." He held his head for a moment pondering on what to do.
"I said fight me." Naruto ran towards Kakashi with full force.
Kakashi only smiled. He shifted a bit and reached into his pouch. Naruto stopped dead in his tracks.
"A weapon?" he asked himself, but Kakashi only pulled out his book.
He began to read it.
"A…That's a book. What are you doing with a book?" Naruto was puzzled and astonished.
"Well, duh I wanted to know what comes next, where you going to attack me or what?" He began to read as Naruto attacked.
Kakashi was too skilled and he easily dodged Naruto's clumsy attacks. Sasuke and Sakura watched in amazement at the movements that Kakashi was showing.
"So this is what a Jounin is like?" Sasuke commented to himself.
He only watched as Naruto tried helplessly to hit Kakashi. But all of his efforts were useless. Kakashi went back to reading his book as he looked up to see Naruto flying through the air and into the lake in front of them. Naruto landed with a huge splash as he sank to the bottom. He puffed his cheeks up angry that he was caught off guard. He began to formulate a plan to get Kakashi and get a bell before noon.
