A/N: Ok as you know I like doing time skips. AS I do not want to go through the D-rank missions, I'll be starting with their first C-rank. So Yes Please Read and Review. The fact that Kyuubi can speak with Hiashi is important for this arc. Also I know things will be confusing please note that I do not intend to leave you hanging for too long. I will use the trick all writer's love FLASHBACKS! Kakashi knows that Naruto went back in time, he was there in the beginning after all. So one thing needs to be known, Kakashi speaks to Naruto like he is older. As technically Naruto is older than the other members of his team. I realized that this story does best when it's being sad, but with hope. As I said before it wont always be sad, but this chapter will be. Kakashi admits who he loves. This is also going to be just one long scene. I'll work on getting the next chapter up soon.

I Do not own Naruto or the characters.

EDIT! I removed the Amnesia arc. As it was not working well. That was why the update took so long, I couldn't get the right feel so I finally decided to just scrap it in entirety, and I pulled back Naruto and Hinata's confession.

Chapter 5: A C-Rank tomorrow? And Kakashi's past

Naruto yawned and stretched as he awoke. He smelt something in his apartment that wasn't meant to be there. It smelled like a man. He knew that the only times a man entered his apartment it normally was to hurt him. Naruto didn't want to be hurt again. He drew a kunai and cracked open his door to look into the rest of his apartment. He relaxed as he noticed that Kakashi was sitting at his table. He sat there reading his orange book. Kakashi sensing Naruto was looking at him closed his book and motioned for Naruto to come in. Naruto walked in to his living room and sat at the table.

"So Naruto, tomorrow is the day of our first C-Rank Mission. I wish you good luck. At least this is semi-considered a high C-rank. Here's the scroll for the mission. Hokage-sama understands why you weren't there yesterday. We leave at noon.." Kakashi said handing the scroll to Naruto

"Thank you Kakashi-sensei. It's hard to see her sometimes. I feel like something happened between us, before I went back in time. I asked Kyuubi-sama about, and he said that I wasn't ready to see it. I'm afraid, sometimes when I look at Hinata I see her dead. I don't know if I could bare it much longer." Naruto said

"Naruto. You know, I had to deal with my best friend's death. Not only did he die, so did the woman I loved first. It was my fault Naruto, if I was stronger, if I had gotten there faster, those were the thoughts that went through my head. Naruto you can't go through life thinking about the past. You've been given another chance, you better make it damn well worth it. If you don't, Naruto, you'll find my chidori going through your heart." Kakashi said with a small smile

Naruto gulped.

"I'll change it all, we'll be happy." Naruto said

"Naruto. I talked with Inoichi. Did Kurenai love Asuma that much?" Kakashi said with a slight tremor

"Geez. She loved him a lot, but not as much as she loved someone else. Asuma was a way for Kurenai to forget him. This is of course all that Hinata explained to me when we were friends back then." Naruto said as he opened the scroll it read:

High-C-Rank

Location: Wave

Mission meet team 8 and help as much as they need.

Special assignment: Kakashi. You are to kill Gato.

Secondary mission: Naruto, you are if you wish to bring Haku with you. I know from the report I got that you had trusted Haku, and was saddened by his death. If you can also save Zabuza. Attached to this are clearances for their addition if they so choose.

Naruto closed up the scroll and laughed quietly.

"Whats funny?" Kakashi asked

"Last time I got this mission it was with you. We were the ones to escort Tazuna, which is what team 8 is doing. You refused to get help, convinced you could handle it. It turns out we only barely were able to make it." Naruto said

"That is rather stupid. Naruto do you have any idea who this man was that Kurenai loved before Asuma?"

"I know he was a ninja. Kakashi quit asking I can't tell you. Besides why do you care?"

"Naruto. I would never tell you this if you weren't vastly more mature then most. I once was in love with a girl named Rin. We, alongside my best friend Obito, were on a mission one day. We got surrounded, and we fought long and hard, but the enemies never stopped coming. We had only barely been able to send one of my summons towards the camp to get reinforcements. Rin finally dropped to one knee panting from the exertion. As she caught her breath a man came behind her and before she could protect herself stabbed her through the stomach. Both Obito and myself heard her scream. I ran and killed the man who killed her, as I did so Obito was surrounded and he was killed. As Obito's head rolled to the floor the reinforcements arrived. Rin died in my arms on that battlefield. I shut myself off from anyone and everyone. That is until:

Flashback

Kakashi was walking back from his last solo mission, the rain was pouring down hard hiding his tears. He had gone to kill a corrupt business man, who was selling women into slavery. It was a quick mission, but there was a girl who had died just before Kakashi got there that looked a lot like Rin. After killing the business man, Kakashi collected the girl's body and he buried her. Kakashi walked past a red haired chunin, who was paying attention to the mystery in her eyes that was Kakashi. She was the only one who noticed that Kakashi was crying. The girl stood and walked next to Kakashi. She placed a genjutsu around them making it look like he was giving her advice.

"Kakashi do not disrupt the genjutsu please." The girl said

"Who are you?"

"Kurenai Yuuhi."

"Oh. The rising genjutsu master, and the ice queen of Konoha. To what do I owe this meeting?" Kakashi said giving her a one eyed smile.

"Kakashi do not hide it. I know you were crying. Tell me why."

Kakashi's eye narrowed

"You are being extremely presumptious. Even if I was crying why would I tell you?"

"You'll tell me because I can help. I know why you are withdrawn, I know about your love for Rin. I know much about you Kakashi. I know you saw Obito as your brother. This is why I can help you. I lost my brother many years ago."

"You assume you can be of help? How funny. You know nothing of what I'm going through."

"You feel weak. You feel you should have been able to help. You think you have to do this alone, but you don't. Kakashi let me help you. I promise you if you let me I'll get you to stop mopping around as much. You'll do much like I do, and stand infront of memorial stone for hours, though."

"Fine."

End Flashback.

"She helped me. Like she said I spend hours staring at three names on the memorial stone but I don't feel as lost anymore. I don't know when it happened, but I feel in love with her." Kakashi said with a sigh

"If I may Kakashi, you have the chance for love right now. Kakashi from what I saw of that fight as I was rushing into help you, I could see your love for her. Don't let it happen where you still love her and have to watch her die." Naruto said

"I'll think about it." Kakashi said

"Trust me Kakashi, it'll hurt you more to watch her love someone else."

"Naruto. You said that you and Hinata were practically married, have you told her your feelings?"

"No, but she knows I love her."

"How do you know she does?"

"I've alluded to it."

"Naruto you should be straight forward about it."

"Kakashi. Everytime I try and say it I see Hinata die. I feel like its telling me that if I tell her, she'll die. Besides I can't tell her now you know how the villagers treat me. I don't want her to get attacked by the villagers for loving me."

"Naruto. It doesn't matter what you want. What is best for Hinata is more important."

"Right. So it's best for her to love someone else. Kakashi the fate of a jinchurriki is to be alone."

"That is bullshit, Naruto do you know who the second container of the kyuubi was?"

"The kyuubi only had 1 container, myself the other 'containers' had his son. His son was weaker, and died when Kushina died."

"She was loved by Minato."

"She wasn't a true Jinchurriki."

"She was treated much like you."

"She came from Uzugakure, they loved her there, plus when she came here no one knew."

"She had similar experiences."

"She had it easy."

"She did not. She was verbally abused for loving Minato."

"Oh poor her. She was verbally abused for loving the strongest ninja in the village. She could protect herself, I could not. No one would dare strike her in this village, the villagers see it as their mission to hurt me."

"You know for all your intelligence you act like a child."

"You always used to say you are a child until you sleep someone."

"Ugh. Naruto stop this self-destruction you are doing. You can be loved. Hinata loves you."

"I know she does, but I cannot ask her to throw away all that she could be for me."

"It's not your choice." Kakashi said and left
