Bursting Rage: I'm definitely going to write about Kakashi vs. Obito in the Kamui dimension at some point because it's relevant to Team Minato and I thought it was really intense. However, I'm going to cover some other stuff first, such as some Team 7, Kakashi Gaiden, etc.
Juman1994: Yes, they will eventually find out about Obito.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anything to do with it.
Chapter 4:
Team Minato looked at the three kids, obviously ones who had just graduated and became genin. They seemed to be around the same age, which just went to show how different everything was during a war. Kakashi, Rin, and Obito were already chuunin. None of them recognized the pink-haired girl, but the one with dark hair was obviously related to Obito in some way. And the loud blonde boy wearing bright orange…
"Do you think that's…?" Rin trailed off, unsure of herself.
"There's a definitely possibility that he's my son," Minato said, realizing what Rin was trying to say. "He looks a lot like me."
"Except he has those whisker things on his cheeks," Obito pointed out. They stared at the blonde boy, who was currently moving all around the classroom and checking out the door every few seconds.
"Naruto, just sit down or something," the girl said, confirming their suspicions of who the boy was.
"Why is our Team 7 sensei so damn late?!" Naruto exclaimed. He crossed his arms, pouting. "All the other teams have gone off with their senseis, and Iruka-sensei also left…"
"It's pretty unusual for a jounin to be late," Rin commented.
"Hey! What are you doing, Naruto?!" the girl yelled. They saw that he was giggling and placing a chalk eraser at the top of the door, so if someone walked in, it would fall on top of them.
"That's what you get for being late!" Naruto shouted.
"Minato-sensei, it seems like your kid is hyperactive," Kakashi said. "Also, he's wearing orange. What kind of ninja wears orange?" Minato grinned sheepishly. It was strange seeing a boy and knowing he was your future child, but he couldn't help finding the kid endearing in some way.
"I'm not involved," the pink-haired girl said disapprovingly, referring to the prank. In contradiction to her words, her eyes sparkled with excitement. It seemed like she actually loved those kinds of things.
The Uchiha scoffed. "Like a jounin would fall for such a stupid prank," he muttered.
However, right after he uttered those words, someone walked into the room and the eraser fell on their head in a puff of chalk dust. Team Minato hadn't been expecting Future-Kakashi, who seemed somewhat surprised at what had just transpired.
Naruto started cracking up. "You fell for it, you fell for it!" he chanted.
"Yeah!" Obito laughed. "You fell for it, Bakakashi! Also, you're late! 'Ninja who break the rules are considered trash', right? Isn't that what you always say to me?"
"Why is this thing showing me all the time?" Kakashi complained. "Why am I so strange in the future?"
"I hadn't expected you to become a jounin sensei," Rin said, changing the subject. Kakashi paused and nodded his agreement. He had most definitely not been expecting to be the one to walk through the door.
The pink-haired girl was currently trying to look innocent, blaming Naruto for everything, but they could tell that she was overjoyed that the prank had worked. The Uchiha was looking at Future-Kakashi skeptically, most likely doubting that the man in front of them was a jounin.
"Hmm…" Future-Kakashi said, placing a hand on his chin in thought. "How do I say this? My first impression is…I don't like you guys." He smiled at the uncomfortable and speechless genin.
"Now there's a piece of the Kakashi I know!" Obito exclaimed. "You were extremely blunt!"
"At least he smiled," Minato said. Kakashi crossed his arms and glared at the wall. Rin blushed a little, not used to Kakashi's smile yet. The scene changed to the academy roof.
"Well, let's begin with introducing yourselves," Future-Kakashi said. "Your likes, dislikes, dreams for the future, and things like that."
"Hey, why don't you introduce yourself to us first?!" Naruto shouted.
"Yeah, you look kind of suspicious…" the girl added. Obito started laughing at this, but Rin shushed him. She really wanted to hear what was coming next.
"Oh…me? Well, my name is Hatake Kakashi," Future-Kakashi said. "I have no desire to tell you my likes and dislikes…dreams for the future…hmm…and I have lots of hobbies…" The members of Team Minato sweat dropped. It may have been in a much more roundabout way, but…that was a very Kakashi thing to do.
"So your future self still has some similarities to you," Minato said, relieved.
Naruto went next. "Yosh! My name is Uzumaki Naruto. What I like is cup ramen. What I like even more is when Iruka-sensei pays for my ramen. What I dislike is waiting three minutes for the ramen to cook…"
"I think his life revolves around ramen," Rin said.
"Sensei, your kid likes ramen as much as Kushina!" Obito exclaimed. Minato couldn't help agreeing. While Naruto might look like him, he acted more like Kushina did.
"And my dream…" Naruto continued, "is to surpass the Hokage and then…have the people of this village acknowledge my existence!"
"Acknowledge his existence? How can they not? He's so loud, and he's also Sensei's child," Rin said, confused.
Minato smiled sadly. "Usually, jinchuuriki are shunned and treated differently for having a tailed beast inside of them, and I fear that the villagers might have turned their resentment on Naruto, associating him with the Kyuubi." The chuunin were silent. That was just horrible.
"Hobbies…pranks, I guess," Naruto added. The Uchiha went next.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are lots of things I dislike and I don't really like anything. And I can't really call it a dream…but I have an ambition. The resurrection of my clan and…to kill a certain man."
"Obito, your relative is very…um…unique?" Rin tried.
"Wow, he's such a downer! Even more than the damn bastard next to me!" Obito shouted. Kakashi ignored him. There was something more concerning than that.
"I think the Uchiha clan may have fallen into decline," Kakashi said. "He mentioned the resurrection of his clan." Obito seemed taken aback by this, but before they could address the issue, the girl began to introduce herself.
"My name is Haruno Sakura. The thing I like is…" She looked over at Sasuke, blushing. "Well, the person I like is…and um…my dream for the future…um…?" Every time she paused, she looked over at Sasuke. "Oh yeah! What I dislike is Naruto." Naruto seemed heartbroken after hearing that. Sakura finished up, saying, "My hobby is…" She once again blushed and looked over at Sasuke.
Team Minato unknowingly agreed on one thing. This girl, Sakura, was kind of irritating. She seemed to be more interested in love than being a ninja. Kakashi was recalling all his run-ins with fangirls when he saw how obvious she was being, and Minato was thanking God or the Sage of Six Paths or anyone that Rin was a lot more subtle with her affections for Kakashi. Also, it wasn't like Rin disliked Obito, like Sakura disliked his son. He felt that the teams were similar, sort of like mirror images, but Kakashi's team was more extreme with their personalities. A lot more extreme.
The scene changed to the Sandaime Hokage talking with a man who had a scar going across his nose. Rin and Obito managed to recognize Iruka from their time with him at the academy, but Kakashi didn't because he was only there for a year. Minato didn't know him, either.
"That man is Iruka," Rin told Minato and Kakashi. "I recall Naruto talking about him…maybe they're close?"
"The jounin for Naruto's Team 7…what kind of sensei is he? Is he strict?" Iruka asked.
"About Kakashi? Are you worried?" Sandaime asked. "Here! This is the list of his past students and their records." He handed Iruka a small book. Iruka paled as he looked at the page, his eyes widening.
"No way," he murmured.
"Kakashi's test might be a little too difficult since children are obedient," Sandaime said.
"Yeah, but this is…all zeros," Iruka pointed out, shocked.
"Yup. Kakashi has never passed anyone. They all failed…" Sandaime added.
"Kakashi, you cold-hearted bastard!" Obito shouted. "Why are you purposefully ruining those kids' dreams?!"
"If I failed them, they probably deserved it," Kakashi said. "Also, why do you keep asking me these questions? I'm not my future self, so I wouldn't know."
"It's kind of surprising," Minato said. "I knew that you would be strict, but I would have thought that you would at least pass some of them."
The scene changed once again to the Third Training Ground. Team Minato looked around in recognition.
"This is where we did the bell test," Rin said. Kakashi nodded. He remembered this place.
They saw Future-Kakashi approach the three genin and wave, late again. Obito wasn't sure if he would ever be able to get over that. Future-Kakashi then showed them the two bells and explained the bell test, telling them that they had until noon. Whoever didn't get one would be tied to a stump without lunch, and he would eat right in front of them. If someone didn't get a bell, they would fail. He also told the genin to come at him with the intent to kill. The genin were skeptical, and Naruto pointed out that he had been so slow that he couldn't even dodge a blackboard eraser. Obito snickered at the mention of that. Future-Kakashi then provoked Naruto, who pulled out a kunai and charged, but was thwarted when Future-Kakashi moved faster than the genin could see, holding the kunai against Naruto's neck. The genin were now rightfully wary.
"Your speed has greatly improved, Kakashi," Minato said happily. "I know you've been worried about your progress as a ninja, but it looks like you've gotten a lot better."
"He's right," Rin added. "My eyes could barely follow you." Obito would never admit it out loud, but it seemed like Kakashi wasn't all that lame in the future. Though, he could still make fun of Kakashi about being late, copying his excuses, and being a pervert.
Team Minato watched as the genin scattered, starting the test. Sasuke and Sakura hid, but Naruto stayed out in the opened, demanding to fight Future-Kakashi.
"Your kid is a strange ninja, Sensei," Kakashi said casually.
Future-Kakashi pulled out Icha Icha Paradise and started reading it, clearly not taking Naruto seriously. Then, he used the taijutsu move, One Thousand Years of Death, on Naruto. Kakashi's teammates started giving him odd looks, but by now, he was used to his future self being like a completely different person. Obito was cracking up at the technique. However, Naruto came back and used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Minato raised his eyebrows. Kage Bunshin was quite an advanced jutsu, and his son was using eight of them. It seemed like he had gotten Future-Kakashi, but Naruto had been outwitted and beat himself up. He also got caught in a trap.
They watched as the genin failed over and over again. Sakura got caught in a genjutsu, a rather cruel one, to which Future-Kakashi admitted to going overboard. Naruto fell for the same trap again, and Sasuke was beaten after managing to touch one of the bells. Then, it was noon. Naruto was tied to a stump for attempting to steal food, so Sasuke and Sakura were allowed to eat.
"There's no need for you guys to go back to the Academy," Future-Kakashi said. The genin got excited at this, only to become shocked at the next words that Future-Kakashi delivered, his eye narrowed. "All three of you should quit as shinobi." The genin were furious, Naruto shouting the loudest. Sasuke even tried to attack Future-Kakashi, but he was instantly defeated.
"I know they didn't work together as a team, but that was harsh," Rin murmured.
Future-Kakashi revealed that the purpose of the bell test was teamwork, something that all of the kids failed at. He pointed out what all of them had done wrong.
"Of course superior individual ability is important to a ninja," Future-Kakashi said. "But what's even more important is teamwork." Everyone on Team Minato was shocked by this. Their Kakashi had never said anything like that. Future-Kakashi also revealed the Memorial Stone and how the names of shinobi who died in the line of duty were carved on it. He said that his best friend's name was on there.
"You have friends?" Obito asked Kakashi.
"I don't," Kakashi replied. They couldn't figure out who it could be, but Minato and Rin had sneaking suspicions on who it was. They hoped that they were wrong.
Future-Kakashi decided to give them another chance, but said that anyone who gave food to Naruto would fail immediately. However, Naruto's teammates gave him food while Future-Kakashi was gone. Rin smiled. It warmed her heart to see them finally cooperating.
"You guys…!"
It had turned out that Future-Kakashi had been watching. The genin panicked, but then Future-Kakashi smiled.
"…pass!" he finished saying to everyone's shock. "Everyone else would just do what I told them. They were all morons," Future-Kakashi revealed. "A ninja must see underneath the underneath. Those who break the rules and codes of the ninja are called trash…but you know what? Those who don't take care of their comrades…are lower than trash." The genin were elated, now looking at Future-Kakashi in a new light. And the members of Team Minato were going into shock at Future-Kakashi's words, staring at him slack-jawed.
