He took me in and raised me as his own child. He taught me the ways of the ninja. I learned basic jutsus. At the age of five, I became a genin.
I remember the time when I was trying to release charka from my body. (Well, I wasn't releasing anything in the first place.) That's when he taught me what the weird shell-like symbol meant.
"Concentration…" He always told me during training.
"Demo, how do I CONCENTRATE!" I always gave him that answer.
Funny, it took me 2 months trying to learn how to release charka.
Is that what I remember most from my childhood? What was the most significant thing that happened to me during my childhood? I know… How could I ever forget…?
It was spring, much like now. I remember it clearly though it was twenty-one years ago. The cherry blossom trees were pink. The petals were being blown by the wind. I was strolling along the damp green grass. I stopped by a cherry blossom tree on a hill. There, I saw her for the first time…
She had long brown braided hair wearing a cute pink kimono. Her beautiful deep set of blue eyes illuminated but somehow it didn't glow. She was the prettiest person in the entire world, for me…
"Hi!" she said with a big smile.
"Hi!" I waved back.
"I'm Akiru Amakusa!" she introduced herself. "But you can call me Aki-chan!"
"I'm Kakashi Hatake!" I offered a hand shake. "It sure is nice meeting you!"
And indeed it was…because it was the first and last time I fell in love.
I didn't notice time pass by. Spring became summer. Summer became autumn. Autumn became winter. I took the chounin exam. Funny though, the more I try to remember the questions the more I seem to forget them. I never expected to pass that examination, but I passed with flying colors at that.
After passing the exam, I met the person I most admired. He was Yondaime, my sensei. He had blue eyes and blonde hair. He had all the great qualities of a true ninja, even though he was known for his quick temper and brashness he was better known for his smile and his ability to inspire confidence and admiration in others. That's what earn him the title "The yellow flash" and of course "The Fourth Hokage". That's the reason why I am in awe of him.
I was disappointed because Aki was not under my sensei. Nonetheless, I was happy in that team because I was able to meet my best friend. When I first saw him, I was afraid. It was probably because of his appearance. He had black eyes and black hair. He had a strange symbol on the back of his outfit. It was a red paper fan. I was really scared to approach him. I wanted to walk away but I knew I couldn't. He stared at me with a deadly look in his eyes. I stood motionless. I didn't know what to do. Strange, the expression on his face changed. He smiled and approached me. He offered a hand shake.
"Hi!" he said. "I'm Uchiha Obito. It's nice to meet you!"
That's when my best friend and I first talked. That's when I thought I had a brother. Well, to be honest I never showed that I was fond of him because I would get emotionally involved. I would never have the same fate my father had. I will always obey the rules… I promised myself that…
Life went smoothly for a long time. Until one summer's day…
I was walking alone on an alley. I could feel the scorching heat of the sun. I felt the sand of the dusty road on my feet. I could also hear the rustling of the leaves caused by the dry hot summer breeze. I sensed people approaching me. I wanted to test my ninja hiding abilities, so I decided to spy on them.
"Have you seen the kid named Kakashi?" I was surprised to hear one of them say.
"Yeah, I've seen him…the demon, right?" Another said.
"I heard he had nice blue eyes." The third person said. "He must be a handsome demon."
Me, a demon? Am I a demon? Up to now, I still don't know why I listened to them talking.
"I heard he became a chounin at 6…"
"That sure is young…He must be talented!"
"No, he's not. He has demonic powers. That's the very cause of his father's cursed destiny. That was punishment from kami-sama."
"Then, it is true he killed his parents."
What? I just couldn't take it anymore. I am not a demon. I am just an eight-year-old kid! How could I do such thing! Why would I want to kill my father and mother? I loved them both so much! What did I do to deserve this accusation? I ran and ran as I fast as my feet could carry me. I did not have any idea to where I was running to. I just wanted to run away from it all…
Without realizing it, I was under the cherry blossom trees. I panted hoping to contain my tears; but I couldn't. I looked up the tree hoping to return the tears to my eyes. Now matter how I tried, I could not stop them from flowing down my cheeks.
"Hey, Kakashi-kun!" a voice suddenly said. "What are you doing here?"
I immediately wiped my eyes. "Nothing…"
Then, she looked at my eyes. But, I gazed into her eyes…(that's what I thought it was…) I felt strange when I looked into hers; her bluish grey eyes. I saw every reflection of light. And for a while, I seem to have forgotten what I was crying about. Was that the feeling of being lost in someone's eyes? Because how would I know, I was just eight years old back then…
" Why did you cry?"
Somehow when she said those words, it made me irritated and thankful at the same time. I was irritated because…well… how did she find out that I cried? On the other hand, I was thankful she did that because it made me stop looking into her eyes and got me back to reality.
" I didn't cry!"
"Yes, you did! Your eyes are red!"
We argued for a couple minutes. Finally, I gave in and admitted I cried. I told her what happened.
"Then, I don't show your face! That way…well…they won't know it's you! And they can't criticize your face!"
She laughed. I frowned. Up to now, I don't know why I took her advice seriously. Nor do I remember why I listened to her in the first place. All I knew was the following day, I hid my face to the world showing only my two blue eyes which they appreciated…
