Chapter 7 This Goes From Bad To Worse

Kakashi POV

I watched them cart away Sasuke his shoulder still shaking from his intense rage and it took all I had not to kill Naruto myself how dare he mock the deaths of people that I had once cared about and know personally. Sure most of them didn't like me because Obito gave me his eye but that didn't matter to me they still didn't deserve to die like lambs to the slaughter. "Kakashi what do you have to stay for yourself."

I was so rudely stirred from my thoughts by the voice of the 3rd Hokage. I shook my head before staring into his bleak condescending eyes. "How could you just stand there and do nothing. The same goes for you Asuma why was Kurenai the only one with enough sense to step in and keep the boys from killing each other."

I sneered at him before looking at Kurenai I loved her but what she did was a betrayal of the family. "Simple I chose my son over that idiot he disgraced himself and dare make fun and belittle the pain that we have all been put through because of that massacre. Asuma lost his wife,I lost my first love and the mother of my son.

Hell, I nearly lost my son and he had the audacity to not only say that he was glad that they are dead but that he had wished Itachi had finished the job and killed my son. I refused to let that go by unpunished so I simply did nothing. Unlike you, I am not a heartless monster you didn't bat an eye when they were slaughtered. Now, so close to the anniversary he pulls this stunt he is lucky I didn't kill him."

My voice was filled with rage and indignation and you could hear it below from the empty forest to my back. I felt a warm hand reached and clasp my shoulder I turned to see Asuma standing there shaking his head at me.

"Father you couldn't have expected us to be detached when words like that were spoken. I wouldn't have let Sasuke kill him but the boy did need to learn his lesson."

I watched the Hokage's face turn into a sneer as he looked at the both of us and turned to look at Kurenai. "I would like you to go get Iruka he is Naruto legal guardian and he should be made aware of this. Once you have him bring him to my office and I will pass down my judgment for both of their behaviors." Kurenai looked at me unsure and then at the Hokage and he sighed

"You heard my orders and I expect that you to follow them I understand he's your husband but at this moment you are a shinobi of the village hidden in the leave so go do your god daman job." She nodded her head and walked over to me placing a gentle kiss on my check. "Please don't say anything foolish it won't help you are Sasuke to act rash."

She nodded her head at Asuma and then ran off to find Iraku leaving us alone with the bag of wrinkles. He shifted his vision between the two of us, anger and irrigation ringing out from his eyes.

"The way that the two of you acted is unbecoming, you're not just hurt fathers and husbands you are teachers you were supposed to protect the both of them. Not let your feelings cloud your judgment. It was for this exact reason that I don't want you teaching Sasuke." I scoffed at him and folded my arms across my chest. "Well, then you shouldn't have assigned him to my squad."He snarled at me but I wasn't going to shrink under his glare or his imposing presence.

"It was either you or Kurenai and she would let him do whatever he wanted so I had no choice but to put him with you. Under the condition that the other didn't know he is your son. They would think things unfair and unequal but even with them not knowing you still treat him better than the others."

At that moment my anger flared in the pit of my stomach and I snarled at him. "I hold him to a higher standard if anything I judge him more harshly than the other two. So don't tell me what I do and don't do lord Hokage." I sneered at him and he laughed coldly as his gaze shifted to Ausma. "You! I am disgraced by your actions what were you thinking is beyond me."

His voice was dry and humorless even though he laughed and smiled at me "I will pass the judge on the both of those boys and no matter what decision that I come to I expect the both of you to deal with it.

Then I will deal with the both of you later, for now, get out of my sight I don't want to have to look at either of you right now." I laughed at him and sneered "Fine with me I was tired of listening to you." I jumped out of sight and walk down the streets of the village. My temper was still fairly high and I don't think that I could deal with anyone at the moment. "Let's get a drink." I turn to look at Asuma he was standing next to me, I forced a small smile under my mask before taking it off. "Yeah sure."

We walked to the nearest bar and I collapsed on one of the bar stool. Just resting my hand on my palm and sighing. "If you sign any harder there won't be any air left in your body." I turn to look at Asuma he was smoking a cigarette and ordering some sake when I looked at him.

"I'm sure that he will be fine he is a strong kid and I doubt that the punishment will be too harsh. You got Kurenai watching his back plus I am sure that he is bound to understand where Sasuke anger was coming from.

Especially in 6 days we will all be plagued with grief and anger." I nodded my head along with his reading as I started to chug a bottle of sake. "That is unless your father doesn't understand his could choose to have him lock up. He did assault then hidden leaf's secret weapon."

I rolled my eye at the very thought of Naruto and started to drink. "You can't be to hard on the boy I think he learned his lesson plus it wasn't like Sasuke didn't provoke him by saying that he was better off dead. You can't forget that he provoked Naruto first and I am sure that he will point that out at the meeting."

I sighed and downed the first bottle of sake before ordering another. I rest my elbow on the brown wooden countertop before looking at Ausma. His brown eyes looked like they were glazed over. "Yeah that exactly my point he might not get a fair shake."

Asuma nodded his head before finishing off his bottle of sake as well before ordering another two. "Yeah but you have to remember my father can be quite fair when he wants to be." I laughed at him "Yeah just like when we were kids he was really fair whenever we messed something up."

He laughed at me and sighed "You and Mikoto blowing off your duties isn't really a small mess up." I laughed at him and nodded my head "I guess you are right speaking of Mikoto I was going to head to her grave you want to tag along, I'm sure Riza could use some company." I look at him and his face darkened. "Yeah sounds like a plan."
