Sorry for the long wait... for you guys, here is an update.

Disclaimer: Naruto is not mine, nor are any of the characters... but come on this is ff, we all make them do crazy shit :P

Warning: Angst... oh gods the angst, and theories that seem to dwindle into rambling. Slight crude humor, but eh, you should be prepared already from the previous chapters.

Pakkun Days

Harsh Genin Days (part 2)

The patrol is just like any other, except it isn't.

What I mean by that, is the walk is pretty routine. Just a 10 mile sweep, circular around our center point, which is camp; followed up by rough crude techniques of covering our tracks and smell. However, Kakashi is too quiet. Usually he likes barking orders at me, really just to release steam I guess or 'try' and exude the aura of alpha dog. I digress, he really is just a 6-year-old, he won't be top dog any time soon. Probably never with my age.

The silence does bother me, as Kakashi seems preoccupied with his own thoughts. I'd hate to hear another lecture about Shinobi Rules from this kid, he could literally go on for hours, but it'd be preferable to the silence now.

Just a short 2.5 mile walk and trot, and we'll be done with out patrol, but suddenly a wisp of chakra catches my attention. I stop, ears perked up, nose in the air, as I look around with my beady eyes. The chakra fades, but a putrid smell rolls in, the same smell that emits from our target scroll.

"Kakashi, the target is close."

Kakashi whips out a kunai in both hands, as he takes his stance. "Where is he?"

I look back at the small kid. Really that serious look on his face dampens his features, not that I could know if he even has good features, since half of his face is a mask. I growl back at him. "The team is just less than 7 miles back, we should go get them."

"No. The mission is the top priority" I could not believe this kid! They send out 2 jounins with him, and he's just going to ignore their help! Hell we probably wouldn't have come along if you weren't Minato's apprentice!

"Do you really think you stand a chance against this shit head, brat!" I turn back to Kakashi, my teeth bared in frustration. Kakashi looks down at me.

"Keep quiet, or he'll notice us, and we'll lose the element of surprise." We stare at one another, the most terrible time to engage in a pissing contest, but we were having it.

"Sadly, you never did." I freeze at the strange baritone voice. It isn't as deep as I thought a villain's would be, it's more like the common folk.

Kakashi and I turn around, as a man with black circular goggles turns around, his head cocked to the side eerily. The goggles move, as if zooming in on us, re-focusing themselves.

"You must be related to Hatake Sakumo. I'm guessing you would be his son." The man pulled out some shuriken, as Kakashi jumped, pulling me with him, as we dodged the onslaught. The shuriken fell into the earth, as the ground melted around them, giving off an acidic burning odor.

"Oh I missed." He brought out more shuriken. "I guess we'll fun with this cat and mouse game." I gritted my teeth. How dare he compare us to mice!

I quickly tear off a couple of hairs, as I pull off my dog clone technique. I look back to Kakashi who is already preparing his wires, as I continue with the distraction manevuer. Three of them run towards our target, as the other runs back to Minato. Hey too much backup can never be too much, right?

"Hmph, a small puppy like you, charging at me? How ridiculous." He quickly dispatches of my clones, with a quick toss. I send out more, as he continues to destroy them, as I get two others to help me dig under the ground.

"Coming at me from underneath, how predictable. Hidden Earth Technique: Ground Chasm!" I feel the earth begin to shake, as the tunnel collapses on itself. Shit, well death by being buried alive isn't how I imagined to go.

"Substitution technique!" I pop up top, as I switch with one of my clones. I run to the cover of the bushes, as a shuriken nips me at my ear. That motherfu- hurts like a person just rammed a steel spike into the small cut, adding pinches of salt and alcohol. I fall, as I whimper in pain.

"You! How dare you!" I look up to see Kakashi has already taken control of our targets arms, as the wires wrap around them tighter and tighter. Good job Kakashi!

"You think this will hold me back! You have another thing coming, brat!" He jumps, as the wires pull Kakashi along. Goddamnit! I told that kid not to wrap the wires around his fingers too much! I get back up, as I run into the fray, Kakashi loosening the wires, which also loosen the wires on our target's arms. His hands start to pull off some seals, but I quickly substitute with a couple of shuriken nearby him on the floor, as I bite his left hand.

"You little-" His fist lands on me, as the world quickly flies by. My body skids across the floor.

"Pakkun!" As quickly as Kakashi's chakra flares up in panic, I sense Minato-sensei taking down the target. Tsume and Shibi quickly help Minato subdue him, as they restrain him. I wobble to my feet, as I can see two Kakashi's running at me. Funny, when did he accomplish the Shadow Clone Justu?

"Pakkun! Hey, Pakkun. Speak to me!" His hands quickly help steady me, as they search my body for wounds. He touches my right ear, as I yelp in pain. Minato comes up to Kakashi, already coming to the conclusion Kakashi is just fine, with little red lines on his fingers for being an idiot with the wires.

"Sensei, he isn't responding to me." I try to open my mouth to say something, but too much saliva is building up, as it drools out. Minato's eyes narrow at me, as he pulls Kakashi back a bit. "Sensei! What are you doing!?"

"Tsume! Can you come take a look at this. Pakkun is disorientated and starting to foam at the mouth. He's probably poisoned, but I don't want him-" Minato gives me another look, a look I've known before.

"On it!" Tsume whistles to Kuromaru, as he places a paw at my neck, pinning me to the ground so I can't hurt anyone. Shit, Minato is looking at me like my owner had once looked at me, before I had caught the rabies. How was I supposed to know my fellow raccoon was carrying that sick disease!

Tsume took a quick examination of me, before drawing blood from me. She pulled out something from a scroll, as the blood dripped on the device.

"We'll be in the clear if he passes this test."

"What's wrong with Pakkun!?" I can hear Kakashi yelling in the background.

Minato holds Kakashi back, as Shibi comes, the target already sealed in green and yellow scroll. I can hear Shibi's calm tenor voice echo. "Our target not only dealt well with poisons, but with diseases as well. He was well-known for his abilities to poison and kill, by infecting water supplies or even his own summons." The rat... shit was she diseased as well. "Fortunately, he has not come across strains of disease for bugs, but any mammal of the carnivore class is in danger with his strains of disease. Including your dog."

"His name is Pakkun, and he's not sick!" Kakashi looked like he was on the verge of crying, but he held his poker face. "You'll see, he'll pass." Another minute passed, as the group held a nervous silence.

Tsume's eyes narrowed. "First one, positive." Minato pushed Kakashi further back behind him, as Kakashi's gaze became stone cold. Shibi looked to Minato.

"Who will be the one to deal with him?"

"What do mean deal with him! So if he's sick we can just treat him, right sensei?" Kakashi looked at Minato, a lingering hope in his eyes. But if it was a strain of disease like rabies, or something these people had no idea how to treat, I'd know they put me down fast just like my previous owner in my other life.

"Second one, positive."

Minato grabbed his kunai. "I'll do it, Shibi." Kakashi looked betrayed, as he rushed towards me, but Shibi's bugs held him back.

"Sensei! Sensei, what are you doing! Pakkun-"

"There is no cure, Kakashi. Once he's sick, we have to kill him." Kakashi stopped struggling, his eyes gazing at me. He finally fell silent, learning to accept that I would have to die. Good ninja, Kakashi, good.

Tsume's eyes brightened. "Third one, negative."

Minato looked back. "Negative?"

Tsume shrugged her shoulders, "I could do more, since I've never seen it turn negative after being confirmed positive."

Minato nodded his head, as Tsume took anothe blood sample as she did three more tests.

"Fourth one, negative."

The silence waiting in between was an eternity.

"Fifth one, negative."

Kakashi walked towards me, but Minato put a hand on his shoulder. "That was the third negative!"

"Out of six, Kakashi. It'll be safe after this last one is confirmed." Kakashi folded his arms, as he stared at the test, daring it to come out positive.

My eyes closed, as my ears drooped lower. I couldn't hear much of what they were saying, as Shibi and Minato were talking.

"Last one is-" The pounding drums in my head cut off Tsume's voice.

"Pakkun!" Kakashi? Why are you yelling?

Minato's voice echo's, before the silence sinks in. "Administer it."

I could feel my body being rocked back and forth, did Tsume kill me just to make sure I wouldn't be a danger to the group, and was I in a new body now? No, this rocking back and forth isn't to lull a baby to sleep, it's the rocking motion of someone carrying me. I slowly open my heavy eye lids, as I see the road pass by at inhumane speeds. I look up, to see a blur of grey.

"K-Kashi?"

My eyes register his brown eyes, as the wind dies. "Pakkun! You're awake." His grip holds me tighter, my senses coming back to me full force. I can sense Minato's chakra, as he comes up next to Kakashi.

"Gave us quite the scare, little one." He chuckles as he pats my head. I nip his fingers, as he pulls them back, looking at me confused.

"Who's so tiny that I'm even smaller than a cockroach that I'm so feasible small that you could just crush me with just your pinky, huh?" My voice is a little groggy and quiet, but Kakashi and Minato smile.

Kakashi just ruffles my head, as they pick up the pace again. "Pakkun, Minato-sensei didn't even say anything-"

"Quite remotely close to that, I know. But he was thinking it." I interrupt, sending a jestering glare to him. I search for the other three signatures that came with us, but they aren't within my range.

"Tsume, Kuromaru, and Shibi?" I question. Kakashi quickly pipes up.

"Back at the station hold, with the target as they turn him over. New orders for them from the Hokage, while we've been stationed back to Konoha."

Minato's face relaxes, as a grin peeks through his expression. "Ah I can't wait to go back and have some home cooking."

"You mean visit your girlfriend, right Minato?" Minato's face blanches with shock, as Kakashi turns to the bright red-faced blonde.

"You have a girlfriend sensei, and you told Pakkun before me!?"

"I didn't-" He looks over at me, with an accusingly, confused gaze. "Pakkun when did you?"

"I just guessed, and you fell for it." As both look back to me with shock. "A ninja must read underneath the underneath."

Kakashi beams at me with pride, as Minato rolls his eyes. "Pakkun, you're reciting Shinobi codes?" 'Just like Kakashi.' was left out.

"If I'm going to be a rule-breaker, I have to know what rules I'm breaking, right?"

Minato's eye brow quirks as Kakashi glares at me. "Hey, I didn't raise you to break Shinobi rules."

"Well, I think some of the rules are ridiculous, like 'The mission comes before everything.' is stupid. I sure as hell ain't putting your life or Minato's on the line for some stupid mission. I'd drag you out alive, kicking and screaming before I'd let you die."

Minato's expression lightens, as he gives a slight awe-struck grin at me, as Kakashi looks at me with mixed feelings.

"I want steak when we get home." Kakashi glares at me.

"I don't get paid enough to buy you steak." I give a quick kick with my back leg at his arm, as he jolts off his jump from the tree branch, but makes a recovery on the next.

"Then take out a loan." He pinches my leg, the wounded one, that jerk!

"I'm not old enough for that!" I give a quick bite at his arm, as he yelps.

"Sell off a body part then."

"Pakkun!" He retorts back.

"I deserve something for surviving."

Kakashi's eyes twitches. "They only thing you deserve is tofu for the next month for making me worry like that."

My eyes widen with horror. "Not even fish as meat! How dare you make me, a carnivore, into a vegetarian!"

"Last time I checked dogs are omnivores, so they can survive on either meat or veggies." Kakashi states, as his head turns up, trying to end our argument. My head turns to the blonde trying to stifle his giggles.

"Minato-sensei, control your student!"

Minato let loose a chuckle at that. "I think Kakashi is doing just fine controlling his summon."

I gave him a glare, as I murmured under my breathe. "Yah, refer to me in third person when I'm right here. I'm definitely going to leave scars on your ass as well, just you wait."

After explaining to Sakumo what happened, I've officially been put on 'medical watch' by the alpha of the house. It's quite nice, to be constantly accompanied by members of Sakumo's pack. Unfortunately, not many of them can speak fluently as my mother could. Kakashi thinks I'm weird since I prefer speaking in 'human speech' than dog speech, but that's only because human speech allows more variety of vocabulary. In dog to say something tastes delicious, you just say good. If you want to say a human looks pretty, you say good. If you want to let someone know that this is your favorite bone, you say good.

See what I mean by lack of vocabulary! It's been about a week, and Kakashi is already complaining about the red-headed hugging demon taking up too much time with Minato. Sakumo has been training with Kakashi, and even though he acts so against it, sometimes I catch him actually in a good mood afterwards. I sometimes tell the pack members to keep a close eye on him, just in case he does anything fishy. I even warn them, even if Sakumo says to leave him alone, to not leave him alone, and thankfully the pack has started to pick up on my advice.

Sakumo, himself, is doing okay. He smiles more than he used to, and I heard he's started showing his face more often in the community, although the villagers haven't warmed up to him yet. But he still strides on, looking better than he used to. I hear they are trying to set him up with an ANBU placement this month, although if he gets rejected again, the Hokage has offered him a place at the academy.

I can see it now, Hatake Sakumo, making Uchiha Obito into a badass. I roll around on my stomach giggling to myself.

"What's got you wound up like a laughing maniac, Pakkun?"

Kakashi sits on the couch, as he bends over to me, rubbing my belly. My jaw seizes up, as my legs thumps against the couch. That's the spot, just a little faster, okay too fast, there perfect- and hey wait! Why'd you stop!

I turn over, grabbing Kakashi by the sleeve with my teeth. He quickly flicks my nose, as I release with a yelp.

"Trying to eat here." He motions with his bowl of rice, and is that ribs on top of it that I see! I leap onto the couch, but he quickly holds my muzzle back, as he places the back end of the chopsticks to my nose.

"No, Pakkun."

"You mean 'Yes, Pakkun. Eat to your hearts content for a great job on that last mission.' Kakashi."

"Great job? You hardly did anything."

"I got back up, and I saved your butt, because you were being an idiot with the wires again. I told you to not wrap them around too many times, it may give you more control, but if the opponent seizes the opportunity-"

"Pakkun, stop it."

"he can pull back, and then what, you are the one that's in danger! And if I have to tell you a million times, I'm not just going to let you die out there. You're too young for that, you little brat! What else was I supposed to do, gaze at the daises while some guy cuts your hands off! Then where would your ninja career be at!"

"Pakkun, stop it! I already know I'm weak, but I swear I'll get stronger. So nobody, nobody will ever have to die for me!"

The bowl clattered onto the table, as Kakashi was now standing up, his eyes dead-set and determined. His eyes, shit his eyes, were a mess of hurt and guilt, as if looking at me... like he couldn't forgive himself if I died for him.

I couldn't handle his gaze, so I looked at the ground, my ears sagged and my tail curled under me. He gave a sigh. "Pakkun. I- Pakkun, you don't have to be submitting to me. I wasn't-" He patted my head softly. But all I could think about was even if I saved Sakumo (which I was still unsure about), there was still Obito, Rin, Minato and Kushina, and hell maybe even side characters we haven't heard about that may have died, and Kakashi would blame himself.

"I'm going out." I quickly headed down the hallway, as I went out the doggy door. It sucks that the only future telling animals are toads, and they are at Mt. Myoboku. I quickly run into town as I search around casually, for any summon I come across. I pick up the trail of Kuromaru, as I follow it, but a slick high-pitched voice behind me stirs from the shadows.

"Well, if it isn't the Hatake's mutt."

My eyes narrow. Ah shit, not this bitchy pussy again. I turn around as I come face to face with a spotted tabby cat, as she slowly crept up to me. She sat a couple feet away from me, as she licked her paw, twisting her neck for her collar to dingle and show off the famous 'Uchiha symbol' on the side.

"Well, 'tis rare for a scaredy-cat like yourself to come out of hiding from within your walls."

She bristled up, as the hairs on her back stood on ends, her tail whipping in anger. "We aren't hiding! The walls symbolize our oppression by Konoha!"

"And don't you love the oppression. Weren't you just saying the other day, that you are glad you don't have to deal with the commonfolk who don't understand anything about being a shinobi."

"I'm only appreciating one of the great profits of being part of the Uchiha clan. Not that you would know anything, coming from the low Hatake. Running away in battle that started this whole mess of a war we're in."

"You should be grateful! It's because of Sakumo that you're precious Uchiha Kagami is alive!"

"Grateful! Because of your master, we're shamed to have him!"

Electrical sparks break through the air, as we exchange insult after insult. I wouldn't have enough fingers if I gathered all my limbs and their appendages from all my life times to express my vehemence towards to Uchiha clan. Not that I hate each one of them now, but it's these stereotypical fiends that I can't get along with! I hope they are being oppressed! They don't deserve any power they gain, it's all just hacks from emotional trauma!

"Hmph, arguing with an imbecile like you is wasting my time. Shoo." She even waved her freaking paw at me.

"You just breathing, is a waste of this world's resources. Go die." I turned around, but flecked some dirt at her with my backs legs before strutting off. You may have started the fight, but I won't let anyone else finish it off!

As I held my head high, I ran into someone, as they dropped their bags. Shit! That freaking cat makes me mess everything up!

"I'm sorry." I quickly pick up some of the items as I shove them into the bag. I pile the bags in a straight formation, as the old woman looks down at me, with a smile on her face.

"Ah thanks." I turn into confusion, as I stare at- oh gawd that's the one who's going to end up killing Minato!

Freakin ran into Uchiha Obito. But he's a hell a freaking cuter than Kakashi! That smile, those chubby cheeks! Why couldn't this kid be my owner! He gives me a ruffle on my head, but not before scratching my ears, and then as I lay on my back he gives me a nice rub on my tummy. And he gets it right the first time, unlike Kakashi!

"Good boy, aren't you. Well I have to continue helping Obaa-chan with her grocery's."

"I'll help too!" My tail wags with enthusiasm, as the kid stumbles back.

"Y-You can talk!"

"Of course I can! Don't you know who I am?"

The kid quirks his eyebrows up in confusion, shaking his head. I smirk, as this is my time to impress the kid.

"I'm the great almighty summon, Pakkun." I pull a few stray hairs, as more clones of me pop up. We all pick up a bag and balance it on top of our heads, as we follow Obito and an Obaa-chan he is familiar with.

She gives a few stifled giggles, as Obito looks at me with amazement.

"You must be a ninken right?"

"The best tracker in all of Konoha."

"Cool! I'm Uchiha Obito." He fiddles with his goggles, "Don't you think these look awesome!"

I nod. "Anyone who can pull off being a ninja while wearing orange is a pro."

His grin even becomes wider, I worry that he might break his face. "Obaa-chan did you hear that! He thinks I'm a ninja!"

She opens the gate to her house, as she quickly heads inside, as Obito helps me with the groceries.

"Well aren't you going to become one?"

"Yup, this is my second year in the academy." He quickly adds.

"Obito-kun, here is a little reward for helping me today." She hands him a handful of candies, as he quickly stuffs them in his pocket, while scratching the back of his head shyly while saying thank you. This kid is just too cute. Why can't Kakashi be more like him!

"And Pakkun you said? Here, this is for you."

She hands me a small treat, I can already smell the beef off of this! My tail wags with great speed, as I take it from her hands with pleasure. Oh sweet delicious meat, I have longed for your taste for 8 days and 6 hours.

"Hey Pakkun, how'd you make clones of yourself like that. With one seal and all?" Obito looks to me, as I get ready to head back the house, since Sakumo will be cooking dinner again.

"Secret summon technique, not learn-able by humans. Sorry, kid."

He looks a bit disappointed, but he perks up as he himself is about to head home. "Oh cool! And tell Hatake-san that I'm thankful for him saving my dad! My little brother and I are really glad that he was able to come back."

My head perks up in confusion, when it clicks in my head. Obito is the son of Kagami! There's no way! He was supposed to be an orphan! And Shisui can't be his little brother! What the hell is going on!? This wasn't in the manga at all!

"Just how much did I mess the timeline up by. And not even timeline, but the family trees as well!"

That creature that Minato and I sensed, it was of great chakra, but it wasn't blue. No it didn't feel like a blue, but it can't be of nature chakra, only a select few can use Nature chakra. What if, I just didn't happen to fall into the Naruto-world, cause that just can't happen. What if, I was summoned here, by another person in Naruto. But then that would mean they would have to be as strong as Kaguya! To be able to transport between dimensions like that! My head was beginning to ache, trying to figure all this out.

I walked through the doggy flap, as my adopted uncle pounded me into the floor.

Pakkun, home!

He wrestled with me, as I wrestled back with him. Ah the good-old-dog-return-home-routine. But Kakashi quickly picks me up, as he lets out audible sniffs towards me.

"You smell of meat, Pakkun."

I freeze, as I realize I forgot to rinse my mouth of the smell of the treat.

My uncle barks in agreement. Beef! Beef!

Kakashi eyes me, a glint in his eyes. "I thought I told you, only tofu for a whole month. Well I guess we can start day 0 today."

I pale at this, as Sakumo comes in. "Guess what! In 3 weeks, I teach at the academy! Guess we'll be celebrating with a barbeque."

I let out a piercing howl. Noooooo!

So how y'all doing! Just me having to get finished with midterms and preparing for college in the fall. Oh it's great times I tell you.

Well hoped you liked this chapter.

Follow and review please? And maybe I shall dish out another chapter as quickly as possible?
