Chapter Seventeen; The Sasuke Uchiha and Kakashi Retrieval Squad
A few minutes later Kakashi finally realized that Sachi had disappeared and he turned over to face Sasuke. "Say, where did your niece go?" he wondered as Sasuke quickly turned and then glanced over at Sakura.
"Oh don't worry, I'm sure that she's alright." Sakura reassured them both with a grin and a wave of her hand. "She probably just went home."
"Well, we better get going anyway." Kakashi began before setting his son back down on the ground beside him. "It's good to know that Ami's feeling alright again though." He said.
"Well it was finally nice meeting you Dad and don't worry, I'll go find Sachi." He assured them before he turned around and ran away.
"Me too." Keiko agreed with a slight nod as she looked at Sasuke. "See you later big brother." She told him before she turned around and ran after him. "Wait up Kizashi!" she cried.
Meanwhile Sachi had been sitting down on top of the docks reflecting about things which was exactly the same place her uncle used to sit when thinking about how his father had paid more attention to his older brother than him. This was completely different though. It seemed to her like everybody she knew had at least one parent. Even though Kizashi was now currently living with his grandparents, he at least had a father.
Keiko had her mother, Konohamaru and Ami had both of their parents, (or foster parents) and Saki had her father as well. She heaved a deep and heavy sad sigh before she picked a pebble up off of the ground and tossed it into the ocean. When she looked down at her reflection Keiko and Kizashi were now standing on either side of her.
"Hey Sachi, what are you doing down here all by yourself?" Kizashi wondered. "Your aunt and uncle are very worried about you." He told her.
"I'm sorry it's just that it isn't fair that everybody has parents except for me." she said.
"So what?" Kizashi questioned her with a shrug. "You have an aunt and uncle and two cousins that love you very much. Besides, I hardly even know my old man I literally just met him a few minutes ago. Although he does seem kind of cool I have to admit." He told her with a grin. "I guess I finally found out where I get my awesome personality from." He boasted proudly but Keiko just simply rolled her eyes at him.
"Give me a break! Kakashi-Sensei isn't awesome! He's always late and I really don't like him that much." She told him.
"Hey! Don't talk about my father that way!" Kizashi snapped at her.
"Sorry but it's true." She began. "And to be quite honest with you I don't think that he likes me very much either." She finished.
"I'm sure that isn't true and please put yourself in Kizashi's shoes and think about how he feels. Even if he doesn't really know his father he still loves him and it probably hurts him when you start saying bad stuff about him. I mean how would you feel if somebody started saying bad things about your mother, niece, or Uncle Sasuke or Aunt Sakura?" Sachi questioned her.
"I wouldn't like it I can admit that." Keiko began. "I'm sorry Kizashi." She apologized.
"That's alright." He replied.
"So anyways, now that we're all together I have a plan." Sachi began.
"What do you mean?" Keiko wondered.
"Well I don't like the fact that Uncle Sasuke is leaving, and I really don't like the fact that he's leaving without me." she said.
"But why would he take you with him? He's an Anbu Black Op and you're just a little girl." Kizashi pointed out.
"Little?" Sachi questioned him back. "Little!? I have you know that I taught myself how to do Chidori when I was only seven years old!" she snapped while she placed her hands on top of her hips and pointed a finger at him.
"And I taught myself how to bend chakra when I was only four years old." Keiko added. "So I could certainly go on their mission too and to tell you the truth I'm just as upset as Sachi is." She said.
"No offense or anything Keiko but no you're not. You don't have the same score to settle with Orochimaru that I do." Sachi began. "For if it wasn't for him, my mother would still be alive. And I'm not going to let him try and kill my uncle too." She said in a very serious tone when all of a sudden she activated her sharingan and clenched her fists together tightly.
"Me neither." Keiko began as her eyes turned red as well. "For your uncle is my big brother and I love him just as much as you do. I say we form our own squad and start training before we go after him and bring Konohamaru and Saki with us." She said.
"Right!" Sachi exclaimed with a nod.
"Well, I can't believe that I'm saying this girls but count me in since my father is out there too." Kizashi said as he and then Sachi and Keiko all placed their hands on top of one another's. "So what are we going to call our squad?" he wondered.
"How about,.. BFF?" Sachi suggested.
"No,.. that's too sissy." Kizashi began. "I say we call it, the Sasuke Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake Retrieval Squad." He said before both of the girls nodded.
"Yeah!" they chorused together before they broke their position and Keiko took out her cellphone.
"I'll text Konohamaru and Saki and tell them to meet us on the training grounds in ten minutes." She said before she began to text them.
