Takao waited nervously for his Father and sister to meet him outside with the other children. When he finally saw them he gulped and stepped forward.
"Father I'm so sorry-" Wack!!
Takao felt a hand come across his head but it wasn't his fathers. He raised his head quickly to see his sister standing over him with her hands on her hips rolling her eyes.
" Baka what the heck were you thinking?!"
"Hey I don't need you to make it worse than it already is okay, I feel horrible as it is .." Takao was cut off by another hand but it was bigger and gentle. It rested on his head and shook it gently.
Takao turned around and faced his father who smiled gently down at him. Takao bit his lip and lowered his head.
"I'm so sorry dad I didn't mean to embarrass-"
Sasuke put his hand on his son's mouth to silence and knelt down to his level so he could look eye to eye with his son.
" It's okay, you probably over slept, not to mention you were following me around when I went to see the sixth last night but that's okay."
Takao eyes widened, crap so he knew I was following him the whole time. I just want to see them sparing
" And don't worry about the being late , trust me it was a lot better than your sister when she graduated I thought we were going to have to move out the village and change our clans name because of that. "
Takao eyes widened and he looked over at his sister whose mouth had dropped open, their eyes met and Takao gave an impish smile and looked back at his father.
"Really dad?, so tell what happened –"
"Anyways good job today little bro," Ryujin quickly interjected "I'm so proud of you."
Sasuke and Takao looked at Ryujin and smiled.
"Right, sure you are," they both said in unison. Ryujin began to turn red in the face; she quickly turned her head up and away from them to hide her embarrassment as her father and brother laughed.
"Well look Takao, despite the fact you were late and are going to be laughed at for eons to come about what happened today, I'm proud of you," Said Sasuke, "You've taken your first step into the large world of Shinobi and it full me with pride to know that the legacy of the Uchiha clan will be in good hands."
Takao could feel the blood rushing to his face as he soaked in his father's words, he had never before felt such pride the legacy of the Uchiha that's what dad said what and honor, he thought. Takao bowed '
" Th-Thank you father I won't disappoint you!"
Sasuke smiled and placed his hand on his son shoulder.
"I know, but since you were late looks like you'll be doing the dishes for the next week."
"What!!" exclaimed Takao
"Ha, you heard him for the next week!" his sister sneered. Takao reeled around and face his sister.
"I don't remember dad asking for an echo!?"
"Oh? Don't get mad at me red head."
"Red head!?" shouted Takao " I won't be talking forehead girl, it's as big as Chouji sensei back side so there!"
"What did you say, Teme !!"
Sasuke rolled and eyes and sighed, there they go again he thought. As Sasuke was rolling his eyes at his two fight children something caught his eye at the top of the roof of the academy, it looked like a person, and judging from the dress he could make an accurate guess at who it was. Naruto, Sasuke looked at the two young ninja who ever still throwing threats back one another.
" Hey look I'll meet you guys back at home ok, tell your mother I be there for dinner and don't kill each other okay?!" said Sasuke as he leaped toward the roof. When he reached the top of the building he found Naruto as he expected waiting for him.
"Yo" said Naruto
" Yo" replied Sasuke " What's up?"
" Hmm, oh nothing much just wanted to talk."
Sasuke raised and eye brow at his old friend and smiled.
"Alright, I know you didn't get my attention to have small talk and if you did your going to regret it really soon."
Naruto smiled, turned, and faced the rock wall with the faces of the Hokages.
"The sound have been moving through our territory again."
Sasukes' smile faded.
"Again …. Why?'
"Don't know but this time they weren't alone, they were with what our scout believe to hidden mist ninjas."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, walked up beside Naruto and looked at him.
"You don't think…."
"I'm not going to jump to any conclusions yet and I've already sent Lee and Neji with some others to portal the borders but that's not why I wanted to talk to you."
Naruto looked over at Sasuke and handed him an envelope.
"Open it."
Sasuke hesitantly took the envelope and opened it, inside was a photo which Sasuke pulled out to look at it in the light. His eyes widened as he realized what was in the photo graphic. He looked up at Naruto who was now looking at him.
"Are you sure?!" asked Sasuke " It could be a fake.."
"Sasuke, a five man cell of ANBU were killed and or injured and from what I gathered from their reports it seemed like it was him.," said Naruto "He was last seen heading toward the hidden mist with several sound nins.
Sasuke looked back at the photo then back at Naruto.
"Who else have you told?"
"Just you, I figure you should know."
Sasuke nodded and turned to leave. Naruto watched as he got to the edge of the building before calling out to him.
"Sasuke you want me to come with…"
"No , stay here
and watch over Sakura, Hinata ,the others and our village." Said
Sasuke, he looked over his shoulder and smiled. "I'll handle
everything I still have some contacts on the outside, I come back
when I have some information."
"Right and Sasuke?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't
die"
Sasuke smiled.
"Ha, I'd be more worried about you" Sasuke laughed "See ya old friend."
Sasuke stepped forward but stooped again and looked back at Naruto.
"Hokage-sama, I have one question concerning my sons."
Naruto raised an eye brow and smiled.
"Getting formal on me eh? , ok Uchiha, Sasuke-sama what is it that you would like to know?"
"Who's going to be his sensei?"
Naruto smiled and look back at the rock face of the Hokages.
"She is…."
Sasuke look up at the wall then back at Naruto.
"You mean the fifth?" asked Sasuke.
Naruto looked over at Sasuke and shook his head no.
"Surely you don't think your second master only toyed with the First DNA did you?"
