Disclaimer: I don't own Kakashi, Naruto, or any of the other characters from Naruto, but I did make up a few.
Hey if you're reading this, it means you're interested in my story. Thanks for reading. Sorry the last chapter was a little long and a little hard to read, don't worry it'll get funny and even more interesting after this chapter, "(4) Present day Birthdays" or something like that
To Past Reviewers:
First of all, unless you can't speak Japanese (I'm in the process just to tell you) clues are only recognizable if you think hard enough. I can't tell you what the curse means. The 4th chapter will probably tell you a lot. Oh and some more "mystery" will be added probably in the 5th chapter, where it might be in Japanese or in a really weird poem or Shakespeare kind of thing. Almost all will be revealed at a certain chapter. I won't tell you what chapter because then I don't want you skipping ahead to read it.
Natsuyori's Come Come Konoha: Section 1- Kakashi
Chapter 3 8 years ago the Day of Obito's Death and the Birth of the Mysterious
It had been years since Harutomo-sensei's death, and Kakashi was now an adult. This day, 8 years ago, Kakashi was now 18 years old and still continued as the leader of the Anbu squad with his best friend Obito, second in command. The only reason Kakashi remain in the Anbu squad was to keep him from thinking about what had happen 4 years ago.
On this very day, the Anbu squad had just set off on another S ranked mission under Kakashi's command. Their mission was to protect the daimyo of Fire Country, Lord Katsuyamaki, who had just been informed that there was possible attack from Orochimaru and many other revenging groups. At the moment with Kakashi's team of 8 were 4 other teams of 8, as well as, the Lord's 8 regular guards and 4 servants to carry the Lord in his human carried carriage. That was a total of 52 to protect the lord now, out of the 72 original.
The mission was now on is 2 day in morning. They had already been attacked twice by anonymous groups. The first had taken 10 out of the original 75 and the second had taken 13 of the remaining 65, leaving the remaining 52 out of the original 75.
The trip back to Lord Katsuyamaki's home would take two days straight. Lord Katsuyamaki had requested they mustn't stop, due to the amount of danger that had already occurred.
As Kakashi walked, he again began to reminisce about his sensei and the night it happened.
FLASHBACK
(Okay this when Yondaime last speaks to Kakashi, as his head lies on Kakashi's lap.)
"Don't blame yourself. We did it to save the village, the only place where I love every single person. You will become a great shinobi and don't be afraid to do it, to…to, to." At that very moment Yondaime took one last breath and then laid silent. Kakashi hugged the body more tightly, as more and more tears traveled down his face.
FLASHBACK ENDS
Obito, who had been walking behind Kakashi the whole time, soon realizes that his best friend was daydreaming again. Sneaking up behind Kakashi, he taps on his right shoulder. Kakashi, who half seem to know that Obito was on the left and thought he knew the trick, turned his head to the left hard. There to greet his face was Obito's fist, which sent him stumbling nearly falling over. Obito began to laugh a good deal at his daydreaming friend.
"Baka!" yelled Kakashi seriously, "we're on an S ranked mission!" All of sudden, there was sudden earthquake, natural or man made, Kakashi did not know. But all of sudden, the ground in the back of the line of Anbu began to crumble, injuring 20 Anbu. As soon as the earthquake had finished, 30 mysterious ninjas began to attack the remaining Anbu. Kakashi and Obito began to fight with all their might along with the other Anbu against the mysterious ninjas.
After a few minutes, the battle had ended, only Kakashi, Obito, 15 other Anbu, all 8 of Lord Katsuyamaki, the 4 carriage carriers, and Lord Katsuyamaki, of course, were left. They had captured one of the mysterious ninjas for interrogation. The ones to do the interrogation were the leader of the Anbu, Kakashi, and his second in command, Obito.
"So, who do you work for?" asked Obito, as he paced around in front of the tied ninja. The ninja remained quite, unwilling to talk. "Speak! Was it Orochimaru?" The ninja remained quite. Obito seemed to have lost patience. He angrily took out his kunai and placed it up against the man's neck. That seemed to do nothing. Obito pushed it up closer.
Kakashi, who had said nothing, stood there silently as he watched. He seemed to be very interested in Obito's way of interrogation. He began to laugh slightly at Obito's quick temper. Obito looked up from the man at Kakashi.
"Obito-san, you're too tempered when interrogating someone," said Kakashi, still slightly laughing.
"I don't care, this bastard isn't giving me an answer," said the tempered Obito, "who-do-you-work-for-? For the last time!" Obito-san pushed it even closer. All of sudden, a kunai came out of nowhere and hit the mysterious ninja right in the heart. Obito put down the kunai and looked around to see who had thrown the kunai. Kakashi, as well as, the others looked around as well. No one seemed to know where it had come from.
"Where…" said Obito, as surprised as ever, "where the hell did that come from?" He checked the pulse of the ninja. He was definitely dead. Kakashi walked over to Lord Katsuyamaki's carriage.
"Lord Katsuyamaki are you all right?" asked Kakashi. The Lord lifted up the curtain.
"I'm find, let us press on," commanded Lord Katsuyamaki.
"We will be able to go in only a few minute," answered Kakashi, "we must decide what to do with the injured Anbu." Lord Katsuyamaki nodded and lowered the curtain. Kakashi walked over to the Anbu, who were being treated by the medical Anbu. Obito rushed towards him.
"What are we going to do Kakashi?" asked Obito, who seemed a bit nervous on their current position. Kakashi thought a few moments before answering.
"I will take Lord Katsuyamaki, 5 Anbu, the 8 guards, and the 4 carriers on," answered Kakashi, after much deliberation, "I want you to take the 20 injured Anbu, and 10 Anbu to transport and guard them. I want you to meet us at Lord Katsuyamaki's home with 20 Anbu reinforcements."
"I don't have a good feeling about this," said Obito, who seemed worried about the group' separation, "what if…"
"Don't worry it'll be fine," interrupted Kakashi, "we're only a few hours from there. Take care of yourself, okay." Obito nodded in response, but still seemed worried. Kakashi gave him a small pat on the back for reassurance.
The two groups soon parted ways with Kakashi leading the one going on to Lord Katsuyamaki's home and the Obito's headed back for Konoha. Kakashi's group had gone on for another hour with no disturbance, but with so many attacks in the last two days, the group remained alert. The sun soon began to set, as it had gotten later and later.
It was half past nine when all of sudden everyone except Kakashi suddenly stopped. The sudden silence caused Kakashi to turn around in confusion. All of a sudden a laugh came from within the carriage, as the carriers put the carriage down. The curtain opened to reveal the only man that Kakashi had ever feared, the one who had placed the seal on his back long ago, Orochimaru.
"What happened to Lord Katsuyamaki?" asked Kakashi in confusion, "What did you do to him?"
"Let's say he's swimming with the fish," answered Orochimaru calmly. Kakashi had no idea what to do, but only one thing he could think of.
"Anbu at…"
"Attack?" asked Orochimaru, as if he did not wish to receive an answer, "I would have thought you would have notice by now, Kakashi-kun." As soon as Orochimaru had finished, he snapped his fingers. The Anbu that Kakashi had called upon fell over.
"So you used Death Soul no Jutsu," said Kakashi, "why have you come back?"
"So could see the effects of my little curse," answered Orochimaru, "I've also come to take it back, the only way I can…by killing you." A shrill pain went down the side of Kakashi's back. He set up his position to fight.
"Well," said Kakashi, "not if I kill you first!" The guards held up there weapons ready to attack, but Orochimaru put up his hand before they could charge forward.
"No," said Orochimaru, "this is my battle." He stepped forward and removed his disguise clothes. As soon as Kakashi knew that the battle had started, he charged towards the man he had hated and feared for 10 years of his 18 years. His rage had completely clouded his mind, which caused him to act as a regular non-ninja. He tackled the great Orochimaru as if Orochimaru had no skill at all. Kakashi began to beat him violently, as if nothing else in the world mattered.
All of a sudden, Kakashi heard a shrill laugh come from behind him. This cause a sudden pain to surge down Kakashi's back. He knew that voice.
"Ah, Kakashi-kun, your anger has blinded you," said Orochimaru, as he gave a slight laugh. As Kakashi turned his head to look at the man, he saw that Orochimaru had nearly finished doing the seals for a Jutsu.
"…Boar, monkey, sheep, dog, frog," said Orochimaru, as his he held out his palm "Bakuhatsu no Jutsu!" All of a sudden, a ball of some weird material began to form above Orochimaru's hand. Kakashi knew what that was. Orochimaru threw the ball at Kakashi, who just in time had dodged it before it exploded. But Kakashi hadn't dodged it completely. The explosion had sent Kakashi flying to the ground and had wounded him badly.
Kakashi slowly got up, as he watched Orochimaru closely in case he tried to pull something. But Orochimaru did not do anything besides laugh at Kakashi. The laugh, as usually, sent a chill down the side of Kakashi' back. Kakashi knew he had to devise a plan quick to defeat or at least, he hoped, to escape.
After he had devised a plan, in like 3 seconds, he quickly leaped into the bushes on the right side of him. Taking out a smoke bomb from his pouch, he quickly took flipped the pin off and tossed it at his original spot facing Orochimaru. The smoke bomb quickly let off tons of smoke, as Kakashi quickly made several copies of himself. It must have been 10 or 15 copies of himself that Kakashi used to surround Orochimaru.
As the smoke slowly cleared, it was clear to Kakashi that he was safe and that Orochimaru was surrounded. As usually he was wrong, as Orochimaru sent out another belching laugh.
"What…is so funny," said all the Kakashi's through their gritted teeth under their masks.
"It's just," said Orochimaru, as he stopped laughing, "you're thinking like yourself back then, still the little frightened child too stupid to think."
"I am not that little child anymore," answered all the Kakashi's in an angry tone. "You…" But the Kakashi's had to stop there, because just as they were about to let another word out, kunais (sorry if it's spelled wrong) were placed up to each of the Kakashi's throats. And each of the kunais was held up by no one other than clones of Orochimaru himself.
"You…what, Kakashi-kun?" asked the Orochimaru, knowing the whole time he completely had the upper hand. All of them pulled the kunais back and made themselves as well as the Kakashi's, disappear.
"You lose!" yelled the real Kakashi, as he leaped from the bushes 50 feet into the air (exaggeration here, it was more like 48 or 47 feet here) (Hehehehehe) above the real Orochimaru. As gravity slowly took on Kakashi, he slowly pulled out a shuriken (like the ones the Bastard from the first episode used, sorry I don't know his name, Mizuki?) and unfolded it.
Time seemed to stop there as Kakashi came closer and closer to fulfilling his wish, this wish to finally kill Orochimaru. He stared at his prey, Orochimaru, but he noticed the Orochimaru neither seemed surprised or ready to run, just staring back at Kakashi, as if he was suspecting none of this was even possible.
Just as Kakashi came was only 10 feet above Orochimaru, a sudden flash came from out of nowhere and tackled Kakashi right in the gut. Kakashi was sent to the ground along with this flash still tackling him. As Kakashi and the flash hit the ground, many feet away from Orochimaru, Kakashi began to realize what the flash had been or for the matter of fact, who it had been.
Time stopped again as all of this happened. It was his best friend in the entire world, Obito, who had ruined his dreams or had it been done to save him, this Kakashi questioned.
All of a sudden blood began to drip on Kakashi's face or mask, I should say. Kakashi saw where the blood was coming from. Kakashi could hardily look at Obito's face. He had forgotten that he had been holding the shuriken.
It had been forced into Obito's right eye, through his goggles (makes you feel like its happening to you right?). Obito, even though in excruciating pain, got up from Kakashi, who seemed as if he couldn't even move, and facing Orochimaru, pulled out the shuriken from his eye and through it aside.
"No!" yelled Orochimaru, as if something was wrong. "The Sharigan! It's ruined!" The sight of Orochimaru's despair seemed to amuse Obito. As the right side of Obito's goggles began to fill up with blood, it began to leak and poor down the right side of Obito's face. (Sorry it's getting a bit gory, needs to happen, reason later). Obito began to laugh as he slowly removed his bloody goggles and let the blood pour out. He gently through them to the side and he got into a ready position to fight the great Sannin.
Kakashi watched the battle between the two in complete shock. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that he had stabled Obito in the eye and yet Obito still got up and fought. It was like getting stabbed in the back, but like in the eye (Want to show some of my stupid personality, thinking of some dumbass saying this with "pash-shon") (Hehehehe once again).
Orochimaru surprisingly seemed to be losing against the injured Obito. He kept searching and searching for openings. Each one of his attacks seemed to be deflected by the furious boy. But then he realized the only opening possible for him. Just because he was only battling one person didn't mean that he couldn't attack others.
The only others possible for Orochimaru was the helpless Kakashi. Orochimaru than faced back at Obito and began to do some hand seals. Of course, Obito had already stared copying every hand seal Orochimaru made.
As Obito copied everyone, he was a bit confused why Orochimaru chose to do hand seals when he knew Obito could match every one. A smirk from Orochimaru told Obito exactly what he was planning.
Right as both had finished their hand seals and the Bakuhatsu had formed in their palms, Kakashi realized what Orochimaru was up to. It was targeted at him! Kakashi quickly tried to get up, but then he realized when he had hit the ground, he had broken his leg.
"This is no time to have a broken leg," he thought to himself. Seeing that it was impossible for him to get up, he began to drag himself. Obito had already began to run in the direction of Kakashi, but soon realized that Orochimaru had already thrown the Bakuhatsu (In case you haven't figured it out, it means explosion, in this case Explosion Technique).
Again time stopped for Kakashi as he watched Obito take the explosion for him. A million things passed through Kakashi's mind again and again (Hahahahahaha! I was going to give you a big clue, but since I'm to lazy to write it out at the moment, you're not gonna get it till after the reveal.). Obito was sent sliding hard into the ground and since had been in Kakashi's direction, he slid right into Kakashi and caused Kakashi to slide back as well.
Time resumed as Kakashi heard Orochimaru's usually amused laugh.
"Don't worry," said Orochimaru, as he stopped laughing, "I'm not after you this time. I don't care about you actually, but it's with your little friend's eyes I care about there. Now that it's ruined, I might as well take that last eye and kill yo…"
At that very moment Orochimaru was hit by another Bakuhatsu and was sent flying. That had knocked Orochimaru for a few minutes. Kakashi quickly glanced at Obito still in his arms and say the barely alive man with his arm raised and his hand held out.
"Obito..;" said Kakashi, but that was all he could say. He put Obito down and gently got himself to knee above Obito to see if he was still conscious.
"Kakashi…" said Obito barely, as he spit out blood, "I want you to get yourself out of here."
"No… I can't" said Kakashi still unable to deal with the situation, "We're both go…"
"You know that's not possible," said Obito barely, "You know this is it for me. I want you to take it." Kakashi gave him a confused and half crying look. "You know what I'm talking about Kakashi."
"No, I wo…" But it ended there for Kakashi, as Obito had already punched him in the gut causing him to fall over. Obito than began to do a hundred hand seals that caused his hands to catch fire (Don't worry flame retardant). Kakashi watched all this unable to move. The only thing he was able to do was let out tears.
"I'm sorry, Kakashi," said Obito, "it's for the best."
After he had finished the hand seals, he placed his left hand still on fire on Kakashi's left eye and his other hand on his left eye.
"Me ishoku suru no Jutsu!" yelled Obito. At that very moment the flames became real and caused Kakashi to let out a violent scream. It had hurt so much that it caused Kakashi to black out.
All Kakashi could hear was Obito's voice apologizing over and over.
"I'm sorry…I'm sorry…I'm sorry," he said over and over again.
At the hospital
Kakashi slowly opened his eyes to see that he surrounded by the 3rd Hokage, Tsunade, and Jiriya. He was covered in bandages. One around his left eye and head and many on his cuts and bruises, also there was one big cast around his leg. He soon remembered what had happened. And tried to get up, but Tsunade's hand stopped him.
"He's gone," said Tsunade in a grieving tone, "but he left you something before he went." The 3rd Hokage gently removed the bandage around Kakashi's left eye and Jiriya picked up a mirror.
Kakashi slowly looked into the mirror and realized what it was.
The end for Chapter 3 8 years ago the Day of Obito's Death and the Birth of the Mysterious
Not bad right. Sorry it took so long for this one to come out. I got writer's block. Man battle scenes are hard. The next one is present day and is probably going to be my favorite chapter. Leave reviews with comments or suggestion. No Questions on the story matter!!! Chapters from this point on might be a little short, but funny. Check in a day or two for another story.
