Gai and Cori ran down the hallway. Gai looked behind his shoulder. 'Kakashi, where are you?' Gai thought. It has been already an hour. Gai had thought about going back to aid Kakashi, but it was too risky. Gai couldn't remember where they came from, it was too complicated. Gai and Cori managed to avoid several ninjas, and have not been found yet. They started to turn a corner, and saw a another hallway. But at the end of the hallway, there was a steel door. Cori and Gai glanced at each other and nodded. They raced down the hallway and Cori sliced the door open by channeling chakra into her sword. The door was sliced into bits, and Cori and Gai ran inside. It was a dimly lit room. There were a row of torches lining the walls. Cori and Gai looked around. It was a cell room. But they were not focusing on their surroundings. Instead, they were studying a cell at the far end of the room. There was a man behind it, and he was Sakumo Hatake.
Kakashi was standing in the middle of a street in Konoha. It was past midnight. There was no one else outside, and Kakashi didn't know what he was doing here. Kakashi. A female voice called out to him. A shiver went up his spine, it sounded like the rock ninja he fought. Kakashi tried to remember what had happened. 'She hit me on the back of my head...and then...and then…' Kakashi couldn't remember. Kakashi. The same voice called out to him. Kakashi looked around and saw the rock ninja running towards him. Except she was not wearing the rock ninja headband. As Kakashi looked on, Sakumo appeared behind her. He was smiling. Kakashi, Happy Birthday! Kakashi took a step back. He didn't know what was going on. Until he heard another voice. Daddy, Mommy. Is there cake? Kakashi looked in front of him. He was there. He looked about four years old. 'But...but...this never happened. I don't remember it. I would remembered it, but...but...I don't. '
Kakashi woke up in a sweat. He tried to move, but he was chained to the rock wall behind him. He was in a room lit with torches lining the walls.
"Ah, you're awake." A voice coming from Kakashi's left side. Kakashi tensed and looked. There she was, the rock ninja, staring at him with eyes as cold as ice. She smiled creepily. That alone was enough to make Kakashi shiver. 'You were in my dream. Could you be my mother?' Kakashi thought. Is this woman really his mother? 'But she can't be.' Kakashi thought. If she was really his mother, why did she attack him in the first place?
"Where am I?" Kakashi demanded. She was still his enemy. She was in his dream. She must be connected to him somehow.
"Doesn't matter about that, my dear boy. What's more important is that I'm going to tell you the truth of the Hatake Clan. Ever wonder why there's only two of you? Kakashi, you're going to be very eager, just you wait. Everything's going more clear after this. She walked and stood in front of him.
"It's going to be a little bit painful, but I'm sure you can endure it." She bent down and placed her right palm against his forehead. What came next was searing pain that made Kakashi scream.
Kakashi woke up. He rubbed his forehead, which still stung from the pain. The pain he felt was like ice, ice so cold that it felt like it was burning. He must have passed out. He looked around. He was in a house. A wooden one, decorated with pictures and drawings. Where was he? Kakashi heard a shuffling sound, and stood up. A girl about ten years old walked into the room. She didn't seem to notice him. She looked like the rock ninja. The girl had hazel colored eyes. She had the same Inuzuka clan symbol painted on her cheeks, and she had brown hair, shorter this time though. It only reached the end of her neck. 'Is she showing me her past? Is this a genjutsu?' Kakashi thought. The girl picked up a blue rubber ball, and walked out of the room. Kakashi followed her.
"Frostbite!" The girl called. A small, white husky ran toward her, with a wagging tail. "Good girl!" The girl threw the ball and the husky ran after it. Kakashi watched, standing next to the girl. Before Kakashi could say anything, the scene faded away. Then a new scene faded to life. Kakashi found himself inside the Academy room, filled with students. The teacher wasn't in the room. They were just starting school. Kakashi looked for the girl. 'What is happening?' Kakashi soon found the girl, she was with her friends chattering around. Kakashi saw that she had brought the little husky with her, tucked inside her shirt pocket. She wore a pink shirt and a blue skirt. The students chattered around until the teacher came. He was a shinobi. With short brown hair.
"Today, I am introducing a new student. He is a from the Hatake Clan, but he is a transfer. He was raised in another town. His name is Sakumo." Kakashi gasped. A boy with dark gray eyes came through the door. Sakumo, his father.
