Chapter 4: Discoveries
As the sun dawned on the horizon, the three sleepily awoke.
"Morning everyone," said the very cheerful Rin.
"Morning," Kakashi muttered despising Rin for being so peppy. Obito yawned and stretched without saying a word. Rin quickly made breakfast and then everyone went swimming and eventually trained a bit. As the day passed the three returned to the cave and made up dinner, falling exhausted on to their beds. A month and a half, their days not interrupted and none had been back to town except for supplies. But on one day some one came to visit. It was none other then the Fourth Hokage, Sarutobi.
"Kakashi, you and you friends are to report back to the village. A great war has broken out and we need all of the shinobi we can get," with a puff of smoke he disappeared.
Gathering their things the group headed back to the village. Kakashi went to his house, but every thing was eerily quiet.
Walking to Sakumo's room he ventured in, but stopped dead in his tracks. Lying on the floor, in a pool of blood, was his father's lifeless body. Forcing himself to move, Kakashi knelt down and picked up the sword that was in his father's right hand; whipped the blood off, he stored it on his belt. Spotting a piece of paper that was lying on the floor, he picked it up and opened it. The note read:
Kakashi,
I am sorry to have left you behind like this. I could not bring myself to face the world and my mistake. The pains I feel are just too great. Please me strong for me and never forget what happened to me. Take the sword and use it to guard everything precious to you. Don't forget you friends in hard times and work to keep them close. Learn to work as a team with everyone, one day it will save you live. Kakashi, move on with you life but don't let the mistakes you have made and will make in the future bring you down. Instead use them as guidance and try to better yourself by them. I love you with all of my heart…I am sorry…
Sakumo
Forcing back sobs, Kakashi ran out of the house and once again went to the office of the fourth Hokage. Without waiting for permission to enter, he jumped through the window and onto the floor.
"Hokage-sama," Kakashi cried, finally losing control. Falling to his knees in the middle of the office he started to sob uncontrollably.
