How he became the person he is

Chapter 5:

They headed to the main street to get their ramen. Arashi loved ramen, and thought that it would be a good idea to have a few words with Kakashi over lunch. When they went in, each asked for their ramen, and waited for the bowls.

"Kakashi, did you notice you didn't call me sensei not even once in the three hours we've been together?" asked Arashi, trying to get Kakashi off-guard.

"Well, kid. I don't know what's your problem, but you should tell me if you have any problems."

"It's nothing. I just can't believe you are suitable for a sensei. I never saw what you are capable of doing as a ninja. Besides, I find you more like an older brother than a sensei." said Kakashi, apathetically.

"I see. That's another problem with the new genins. They don't know what jounins can do. What about if I make you take the test that genins usually take in their teams? Those tests are for both testing the genins' abilities and for them to gain some kind of respect for their senseis. Just in case there are genins like you." asked Arashi, incredibly patient.

"What is it?" asked Kakashi, as they received their ramen bowls.

"You have to take away a bell from me. It may not sound complicated, but once you get to know how jounins move, you will find it hard to accomplish. It's supposed to be a test taken in a team, because of its difficulty. You can't expect a single genin taking it on a jounin. Even if it's just taking away a bell." said Arashi, starting his ramen. "Don't think that I'm going to be easy on you just because you're a kid."

"I'm not a kid." answered back Kakashi, stubbornly.

"I used to say that, too. Haha." commented Arashi, as Kakashi pulled down his mask, and began eating. "I thought you weren't going to take off your mask. You really are like your father. Let's see if you are competent enough for the name Hatake." Arashi didn't really mean it, but wanted to make sure that the kid would do his best, and in that way, he would make Kakashi eventually respect him.

After finishing their bowls of ramen, they headed to the training grounds once again. Arashi was warming up, and Kakashi was wondering if he would have to use his weapons.

"What am I supposed to do to take the bell? Can I attack you however I want?" asked Kakashi, very seriously.

"Yes. You may use your weapons, taijutsu, and even ninjutsus. Just try to take this bell from me." Arashi didn't look as serious as Kakashi, but he was ready to receive any kind of attack. "Start."

'There's no point in hiding. I'm the only one who's fighting him, and it could even make it easier for him to find me. I'll just attack from the front.'

Kakashi took some shurikens and threw them to Arashi. The jounin dodged the shurikens and threw some of his shurikens to the kid as well.

"I didn't say I wouldn't attack, Kakashi!" said Arashi, although he felt bad for doing so to a little kid.

Kakashi didn't think twice and used the Henge No Jutsu with a log. Next, he appeared right in front of Arashi, and tried to kick him in the face, which of course, Arashi intercepted very lightly with a hand. After all, Kakashi was a kid. His kick wasn't strong enough to do any harm to the jounin. A punch followed the kick, and Arashi decided that it would be easier to grab the kid and throw him. He did so, and Kakashi flew at the least 50 feet away. The only thing that Arashi saw though was a puff, and he heard Kakashi's voice from behind. Something that he was expecting, since he knew that the one he threw was a bunshin.

"Katon! Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"

That wasn't a surprise to Arashi, and he jumped high enough to avoid the flames. He was very excited to see that the little kid was really doing his best. He thought that it was about time for him to mark the end to the test.

He went to the back of the kid and used the Kekkai Doroutoumu and soon all he could see of Kakashi was his silver hair.

"That was a good match, Kakashi. I guess it is a little hard for a genin to take a bell from his sensei without his team." said Arashi as he pulled Kakashi out.

"Ne, I don't think so." said Kakashi, as he was showing the bell to Arashi. "I guess you were too into the hand seals of the jutsu to see my hands getting the bell through my back..." and after a while he added, "Sensei."

"Hahaha. Kakashi, you are a special kind of kid, ne? So, do you think that I'm capable of being your sensei?" asked Arashi smiling.

"Hai. I'm sorry for not calling you so earlier." Kakashi started shaking the dirt from his clothes.

"Well, I guess that concludes today's training. Is that okay with you?"

"Um... it's too early. It's just 3 o'clock. What about if you teach me that jutsu you used on me?"

"Kakashi, your chakra isn't sufficient to use that one, yet. Besides you already used a lot of chakra today. Remember you're a kid." He tried to convince the kid to act like the kid he was.

"Sensei, I think it would be really helpful if you stopped calling me a kid. I'm a genin, you know."

"But you are a kid. As soon as you leave these training grounds and go home, you are a 5 year-old kid, kid."

Kakashi couldn't help glaring with a deadly look to his sensei. Arashi thought that the training sessions with Kakashi would turn very long, and yet interesting.

"Well, I think we should start your training lightly. This is it for today. See you tomorrow at 7, right here." said Arashi, and disappeared in a puff.

He didn't really head to his house, but hid himself in the branches of a tree to see what Kakashi would do next. He saw that Kakashi took some shuriknes out and threw them right to the tree where he was, and almost fell, thinking that the kid knew that he was there. But Kakashi was just practicing. He didn't leave until 7. Arashi stayed there as well, observing his new student. This new student of his really brought many surprises with him.

Over dinner, Kakashi told Sakumo about his sensei, and told him that Arashi looked really strong.

"Kakashi, he's the youngest jounin ever. You should have expected that. Haha." said Sakumo, relieved that his son looked comfortable with being Arashi's pupil.

"Hai. I have to leave early tomorrow. We are meeting at 7."

"Good night, son." Sakumo smiled to his son.

The next day...

It was 6:50, and Arashi arrived in the training grounds. He thought that Kakashi was going to be there earlier, but he didn't find anyone. He sat down in one of the trees' branches, and closed his eyes to get a little more of sleep.

At 7 o'clock, Kakashi appeared between the trees.

"I thought you were going to be late, boy!" Arashi smiled.

"Sensei, rules are to be followed, after all."

"Well, yeah. Today we're just going to practice with weapons."

"Okay."

They stayed in the training grounds until 4. Arashi gave Kakashi some tips on how to get betters results when throwing kunais, and how to grab them in an easier way. Despite Kakashi's recent promotion to genin, Arashi could see many scars on his student's hands. Well, skills came with some sacrifice.

"Good job today, Kakashi. See you tomorrow." said Arashi after they had put their weapons together.

"Hai." Kakashi responded. Arashi left in a poof, and Kakashi stayed there practicing a little more.
