When Kakashi and Sakura welcome their final two children into their home it is madness.
They already have several more children than planned, but they knew they couldn't just turn down these two.
They were Sasuke's.
Sasuke had never returned to the village, but it didn't stop him from sowing some wild oats.
Three to be exact.
The children had been sent Konoha with some genin from whatever village (Naruto doesn't really pay attention he's to busy staring at the kids) and a letter from Sasuke.
Well to one for Naruto and one to Sakura.
The letter to Naruto asks him to please take care of the children, their mother is gone ("Not like that dobe"He can pratically hear Sasuke's voice, "She left me.") and he has no other friends or teammates or anyone to take the kids (and that he doesn't trust anyone else).
Sasuke writes that he's sorry that he never got to apologize to him Sakura and Kakashi for everything (there's to much to apologize for to list) in person.
He wites that he fell terribly ill partly from the Sharigan, partly because of Zetsu, and partly because of his own stupidity, and writes that he'll probably be dead by the time this letter reaches Naruto.
Please Naruto, the letter says, take care of them. Find them a good home, I know it's to much to ask for you or Sakura to take them in but please take them somewhere they'll be safe.
They're the only good thing I've left on this world.
Sasuke.
(p.s there's another letter for Sakura, please give it to her with my apologies and congratulations, I hear she has quiet the brood, pass the message to Kakashi as well.)
Naruto does what the letter instructs.
Only one child, the eldest Itachi, stays with Naruto as an apprentice.
The other two are drawn to the Hatakes, and are taken in without another word, though there is always a lingering question, why?
A few years down the road the middle child, Hideyoshi, looks at his adoptive parents and says, "Because when I looked at you and Kakashi-tou-san you looked happy, scared and maybe a little angry, but you to looked like you loved each other and I wanted that for me an' Obito-chan. I wanted us to be part of a real family."
Yea I'm kinda in the mood for angst can you tell?
I figure that Sasuke while he cared for his children gave them little affection, and his wife left after finding that the avenger thing does lose it's coolness after awhile.
I also kinda figure that obito was a baby when they came into the village so he didn't really have a name.
