Sakumo yelled out to Kakashi "come on son you could do it, I know it's hard for you but you have to keep walking". Kakashi stumbled on insensible to the fact of what, or rather who he was carrying. He held a small bundle in his trembling, bloody arms while his father carried a bigger load than his own. Everything was a blur to Kakashi for the time being. His mind was in a state of shock. He had just had to relive the death of his best friend and had seen his father die. Except this time the death of Obito Uchiha was not caused by a boulder but by Kakashi's hands. He could not forget how his "friend" had looked at him when he realized he would actually die this time, or the cold empty eyes of his dead father. The memory of what had happened was still fresh in his mind along with the conversation he'd had with his father minutes before.
-Flash back-
Kakashi was finally going to find out about his mom. Sakumo after years of keeping quiet had finally decided he would tell Kakashi everything. Kakashi remembered what his mom looked like but not her personality. She was a very beautiful women, she had gray silky hair just like he and his dad did. The young Hatake wasn't sure but he assumed that her long gray silky hair and her big, glossy, gray eyes were what had made White Fang fall in love with her.
"Where is she Sakumo" Kakashi said in an anxious tone.
"Respect your father boy", Sakumo replied in a clam voice.
"Which one?" Kakashi retorted in a bitter tone. He regretted it as soon as the words were out of his mouth. He hadn't meant to cause the older of the two pain, and although Sakumo tried to hide his hurt Kakashi saw it flash through his father's eyes.
"I'm sorry dad", Kakashi said in a sincere tone
"It's okay it's my fault for sending you away from Kumo...away from me", there was a hint of pain as he said this. "Kakashi do you know the reason I sent you away?", The older Hatake asked. A pout formed on the ten year old face."No" the child pointed an accusing finger at his father, "You've never told me" he muttered in a sad tone. "Well please forgive me for being so selfish all these years, I will tell you my reason for sending you away... I did not want you to grow up and be like Kumo-nin. They are heartless bastards that would send a pregnant woman away on a mission." Sakumo spat out like he had poison in his mouth. Kakashi was shocked, he was not expecting to hear this, for the three years that he had spent under Minato's care he had resented Sakumo and had taken Minato as a father figure. "What do you mean" he said with uneasiness. Sakumo smirked at Kakashi's response "Come on boy you're not stupid you can figure it out...you were going to have a little brother" Kakashi's eye were wide with shock, and at that very moment bells started screeching and the red lights of Konoha were flashing in alarm.
The first to react was Sakumo he grabbed his child's hand and shunshined to ANBU HQ. By then Kakashi was back in action, they each took their gear and went to patrol...Sakumo being the highest ranking officer in ANBU and Kakashi being the second highest, they did not have to wait for orders. Had they waited they would have been too late to stop the person who had caused so much chaos in Konoha in merely five minutes.
Kakashi was bewildered; there was a chakra signature in the air that could not possibly be there. They arrived at a clearing that held the largest amount yet of the familiar chakra, and they saw a tall, dark, figure. This eased Kakashi. "There's no way that person could be that peep-squeak" inner Kakashi yelled at him, "Obi-kun is not here...he is dead remember, you got him killed...and the only reason you're thinking its him is because we might have had a little brother had it not been for Kumo" said Kakashi's inner self bitterly.
"Kakashi snap out of it" said Sakumo.
"It's not him, right dad?" Kakashi said in a weak tone..."there's no way it could be him" Kakashi said almost broken-heartedly.
Sakumo stayed quiet, he knew exactly who his child was talking about. "No Pup it can't be him", Sakumo said in a stern voice however the sternness in his voice was not for Kakashi's reassurance but his own. Sakumo did not want it to be that child, and not because of feelings or affections he had for the child but because he knew how much that child had meant to his son, and he knew that if that was the Uchiha kid it would bring pain to his precious son. However Sakumo knew deep down that he was lying to himself, he knew that somehow the dead Uchiha had come back.
Sakumo called out to the figure "State your name and business in Konoha!"
"Oh Sakumo dear don't you remember me at all" said the figure. "It's me Genkishi Uchiha or would you rather I use the name that your little puppy will understand" the Uchiha asked with a mock quizzical tone.
"Don't you dare" roared the Hatake "Kakashi get out of here, run and get help...run and don't listen to any thing that man says!", Sakumo yelled but his pleading fell upon deaf ears.
"So Kakashi how's that left eye working out for you", asked the Uchiha sneering at the boy.
"Kakashi get the HELL out of here, this is an order...remember what i told you Kakashi", Sakumo yelled. " In the ninja world, those who don't follow the rules are trash".
Kakashi was about to do as he was told when he heard a familiar voice call out to him from the tall figure, " But, those who abandon their friends are even worse than trash."
"Obito...Obito is that you?" asked Kakashi in a pained voice. "But it can't be you, y-y-y-you died and it was all my fault...I can't believe it you're not dead" he said with a voice that changed from pain to glee. Kakashi wanted to run and hug his childhood friend but as he was about to move towards him, the man threw a kunai at him.
"No that will not do Kakashi my name is no longer Obito, as a matter of fact it never was, my name is Genkishi, the name I had before we even became friends." said the Uchiha
Kakashi was rooted to the spot he was still in shock that his Obi-kun was back, but what shocked him most was that his Obi-kun had attacked him. He didn't have time to react, he could see the kunai about to reach its target, which happened to be Kakashi's heart. All he could do now was close his eyes and wait for the pain to hit. He heard a THUD and a SPLASH but the pain never came. When opened his eyes his father was facing him with his arms spread, shielding Kakashi from danger.
"Kakashi get your act together if you want to stay, because if you don't you're gonna get us both killed", Sakumo said sternly but Kakashi could hear the worry in his father's voice. This made Kakashi get serious because he would never again allow someone else to die in his place.
"Dad how is he here...he's supposed to be dead, buried in a cave", Kakashi asked not once taking his eyes off the shadowy figure.
"Kakashi pay attention because I will only say this once", Sakumo barked out. Kakashi nodded as he felt the killer intent oozing out of Sakumo. At first Kakashi thought it was meant for him for being ignorant, but then he realized it was directed at Obi...Genkishi.
"The child that was your so called friend never really was a child... in reality it was always Genkishi, I began checking out his background as Obito the moment he befriended you...I assume I was going to find out something soon enough because he got him self "killed" or so made us believe, in order to stop my snooping. His planned worked because I stopped my research in order to keep an eye on you pup, turns out we really were on the right path".
Kakashi stared at his dad waiting, so when Sakumo didn't continue he exclaimed," Well...what was it, what did you find!?"
"Genkishi is an illusionist"
"But dad why did he attack Konoha"
"I don't know son, that you would have to ask him"
"Then I guess that's what I'll do"
"Don't expect too much okay son"
"I know dad" sheesh "you always do that"
"Do what?"
"You always treat me like a child"
SWOOSH both father and son jump out of the way as a kunai passed right through where they had been just seconds before."I'm still here you know, don't be rude and ignore me", Said Genkishi with a hint of hidden irritation.
"You want to talk about being rude, you just interrupted a father son conversation, and you won't even let us see your face" both Hatake said in unison.
"Fine you want to see my face, I'll let you but don't just start side conversations", whined the angry Uchiha. Little did he know, he was falling right into their plan. At the very moment when he was lifting his mask, his view was obscured long enough for Kakashi to soundlessly create a shadow clone and shunshine behind a tree on the other side of the Uchiha. When the Uchiha threw his mask on the ground Kakashi strained himself not to laugh at the Uchiha's eyebrows and head in fear of giving away his location. The clone on the other hand could not contain his laughter.
"What's wrong with your eyebrows coconut head" said the laughing Kakashi clone."Tell me...is that the reason you wear the mask", he asked pointing at Genkishi's face. This angered the Uchiha.
"I guess you would rather a more familiar face", muttered Genkishi angrily as his face morphed into the kinder, softer features, of Obito Uchiha. "So...tell me Kakashi is this better" Genkishi jeered with a psychotic look on his face that distorted the soft feature of the young face.
When Kakashi saw the face of his old friend, he felt sick. He stealthily ran out from his hiding place with a kunai in hand avoiding the face of the Uchiha he roared with anger, "Don't you dare". The startled man turned around in time to be stabbed right in the heart and part of his lung.
"How...when" was all the Uchiha could think about saying.
"When you were taking off your mask" answered Kakashi still not looking at the boy's face.
"I see...I underestimated you Kakashi-chan" muttered the boy. This made Kakashi look up, "Why...I thought you loved Konoha...and I thought you were my friend", the grey haired child asked with confusion and pain. "Why did you pretend to die...DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HURT ME?!"
"Kakashi-Kun the rock wasn't an illusion, I was planning on getting "killed" but the rock wasn't my idea" Genkishi muttered.
"If it wasn't your plan then how did you survive and why did you attack Konoha"
"R-R-Ricardo", Genkishi coughed out. When Kakashi saw the man/boys face he saw fear in his eyes, the Uchiha had realized he was really going to die. Kakashi looked away, and when he turned back at, all he saw was the lifeless body of his childhood friend. He then noticed that he was still holding the kunai and that his hands where bloody. He threw the kunai away from him, but before he could clean his hands, Sakumo stood him up and SMACK slapped him across the face, and then as if nothing had happened Sakumo pulled Kakashi into a hug.
"Don't you dare do something like that again, do you realize you could have been killed" he said in a tone mixed with anger and worry for his pup.
They were about to head to ANBU HQ when they felt an intense pressure coming from the south so they headed there instead. When they got there, they could not believe their eyes. It was the nine-tails, and to make matters worse Minato and Kushina were at its mercy. Both Sakumo and Kakashi were going to help their precious people but when they walked towards them they were held back by a barrier. All they could do was watch in horror as Kushina was about to be attacked by the nine-tails. Both Hatake turned their heads so as not to see the red head killed but when they turned to see the damage, they did not see an injured Kushina in her place was Minato. Sakumo unknowingly let out a sigh of relief, this angered Kakashi "How could he be more worried about some women than his father" thought Kakashi. Then strangely Minato disappeared but he reappeared within seconds holding a small blanket. At first they thought it was some sort of weapon, but then they heard a baby crying and they could see fuzzy yellow hair sticking out of the blanket. They were stunned why would Minato take a baby into the battlefield. The answer came to Sakumo the moment he saw Minato's hand seals.
"Don't do it Namikaze, it's going to kill the child." yelled Sakumo, but the blond did not hear due to the barrier. To Kakashi's amazement when Minato touched the bundle, the nine-tails was sucked into the child and the barrier was lifted. Minato had fallen to his knees and was about to fall onto the child, but Kakashi who had gone towards him held him up with a smile on his face. "You did it Tou-san" the boy cheered.
"Kakashi take him away from here, keep him safe" Minato said feebly as he handed Kakashi the small crying child. Minato then fell to the cold ground. Kakashi went numb, he wanted to run but couldn't, then he heard something that at the moment he couldn't distinguish..."Nono...and Kyudaime", Kakashi didn't understand, why was his dad calling that red head Kyudaime she wasn't a leader... was she. Sakumo who now carried the red headed women bridal style grabbed Kakashi's hand and started leading him away, but Kakashi was too overwhelmed to notice where, however he could figure out why. Kakashi could feel some familiar chakra signatures heading their way. Kakashi followed Sakumo entranced.
-End of Flashback-
They arrived at a wooden cabin deep in the forest. "Come on Kakashi we can't afford to be seen. Help me out here and open the door", Kakashi was angry at Sakumo he felt betrayed.
"Here I thought you loved my mother" Kakashi said accusingly.
"Kakashi what are you talking about of course I loved your mom" Sakumo said angrily.
"Then who is this woman to you, why is it that you prefer her to live than Tou-san."
"You want to know who she is fine I'll tell you...this woman in front of you is Kyudaime, she is someone I that i would give my life protecting, she's like a little sisters to me, and as you might have noticed out there I'm not the only one who would willingly give my life for her. Let me tell you of another person that would give their life for her...Gokudera would, no questions asked", That name however did not ring any bells to Kakashi so it was of little importance for the time being, and it only angered him more.
"What do I care for your so called Gokudera", now it was Sakumo who said
"And here I thought you loved your mother"
