(Third Point Of View)

The Rain ninjas give a smirk as they both race towards the Genin's of Team Minato. Kakashi stiffens a little as they get closer but still trying to protect Rin and Ruby. "Rin! Ruby! Get out of here, now!" Rin looks concerned at the masked ninja, "but..."

"You both will only get in my way." The girls look at each other before jumping a distance away from the fight. Once they were far from him, he puts is hands together for "Earth Style: Mud Wall". He flips back while the wall shoots out from under the ground. There enemy just jumps over the wall expecting to see the white fang's kid, but to only see no one.

"Damn it, he got away!"

Just then, Kakashi shoots out of the wall he created and lunged toward his targets. He was able to slash one in the back with his father's katana. His partner looks behind him to see that transaction. "Damn it, you were inside that mud wall!" Kakashi turns toward him with a glare before he goes to strike him down. But The Rain ninja jumped away in time, and Kakashi runs back to Rin and Ruby who were treating the wounded shinobi.

Minato and Obito appear a few feet away from the rest of the team. Their sensei sees there employer of the ground wounded, yet not the rest of there group. "Kakashi, what happened here!" Minato says running over to them. "Minato sensei! Obito!"

Obito looks around confused seeing his team in front of him even though he was just surrounded by hundreds of Rain Ninja. "Kakashi? Rin? Ruby? What am I doing here?" Minato looked at the confused Uchiha. "I will explain later. First, Kakashi, what happened here?" Minato says as Obito sprints towards them. "We escorted them safely here to this point," Kakashi explains, " but the other two were traitors.". He was in shock to hear that both of them were against them in the beginning.

"Please, I'm not going to make it," the wounded man said as he pulled out a scroll, "The contents of the secret missive." Kakashi grabbed it from him and gave it to the blonde man. "But we can not look at the contents..." Minato says confused. "Don't worry about it," the Rain ninja interrupted, "please, just confirm that it's the real one.".

Minato sighs but listens; he opened the scroll only to see that it was blank. "What does this mean?" Minato asks with a blank stare with a little bit of curiosity. Their employer tightens his eyes as he spoke. "My superior told me that another teammate and I would both be given the secret missive. But only one would be the real one. There was Intel that there could be a traitor among us." Obito intervened, " well then where is the real one?".

"If the traitor had it, he wouldn't have attacked me. So..." Kakashi realized that it had to be the man who got hit with the kunai, and fell off the bridge. "It was him." Minato looked down at his student. "Kakashi, do you know who it was?". He looked back at him, " well on our way here...". The Rain ninja looks at Kakashi with pleasing eyes. "Please, you must get the secret missive!". With that last breathe, he closed his eyes and rested his head on the ground, dead. Rin tries her medical ninjutsu, bit with no prevail. "There is nothing I can do.".

Rustling of leaves perks in Minato's ear. "Damn it, did they hear us!" Before they could do anything, Obito grabs Kakashi by the shoulder. "Kakashi! You didn't leave anyone to die, did you?" "I only prioritized the mission. I followed the rules." He was shocked to hear that from his comrade. Kakashi stands and faces the Uchiha as he continues his explanation.

"Those who don't follow the rules are scum." Obito glared at him. "But look at the result! If you hadn't turned your back to your comrade, this wouldn't have happened!" The Uchiha says while Ruby intervenes, "Stop, Obito! This was an unexpected accident. Kakashi is not to blame," she explained while laying a hand on his shoulder.
"Damn it! I'm going!". Obito pulls away from Ruby and walks to the direction of the bridge. "Go where?" Ruby said. "Isn't it obvious, I'm going to save that guy!". He says with determination.

Kakashi scoffed at his idiocy, "She's right about it being an unexpected accident." The blonde Jounin nodded "He's right, it's too dangerous." Minato says with Obito still walking forward. "I'm not about to fail my first mission!"

"We didn't fail. It was an unexpected occurrence!". That statement made Obito stop with annoyance. "Kakashi, for an honor student, you're really dumb.". Kakashi narrowed his eyes as Obito continued, "Think about it, the four guys we were supposed to guard have all disappeared," he turned to look at them, "Who is going to support our claim that this was all unexpected? If the village who requested this mission pretends to not know about the traitors... Minato sensei will be forced to take responsibility!"

Minato keeps his stare with no emotion but a little concern. "Never mind me. Our mission is over, Obito.".

"All I want to say is. Sensei, you can keep dragging me back to the village. But I won't give up searching for the guy. I never turn back on a comrade.". With that Obito jumps away into the trees as Minato, Rin, and Ruby call after him. The Jounin puts a serious face and jumps after him, "damn it."

**********Time skip brought to you by Masterpiece**********

Team Minato decides to follow Obito knowing that they couldn't stop him, so they went on with the mission. Their plan is for Kakashi and Rin to go check down steam while Minato goes back to where he fell. Obito and Ruby will check beyond where Kakashi and Rin go. The minute they find him they will have to contact their sensei.

The ninja that they are supposed to find was able to get out of the river, and got to the bank next to the water. Pulling out the kunai in his shoulder, he noticed more of the 'traitors' above him checking the Ravine he was trapped in, to find him with the secret missive. He got up and slowly limped down the side of the river, but not before long as his "comrades" found him. "He's here!" One of them shouted to The others. "We've found him," the leader said as they all start throwing kunais that head straight for him.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!". A giant Fireball shoots out from the Uchiha's mouth knocking out all of the kunai's flying the air. 'There are to many of them' he thinks to himself, narrowing his eyes. They jump down to strike them down, and as they do your starts to rain. The only thing is that the rain drops only surrounded the Rain ninja. "Lighting Style: Chidori!"

Kakashi says as he makes the signs for his new Jutsu. Since there is water around the traitors they are the only ones who got electrified. Once it cleared you could see Kakashi standing there with one arm extended in front of him, and Ruby with her hands up above her head. She puts her hands down and makes the small clouds disappear. Obito and Kakashi look at her with surprised eyes. "How did you do that?" Rin smirks at Obitos question 'oh, you wish you knew' she thinks to herself. She already knew because Ruby invited her to see her train after she saw Crescent Rose and her powers for the first time.

The ones who were not affected by the Chidori surrounded Kakashi and Ruby while Rin and Obito protect the injured shinobi. "Rin, take care of him!" Kakashi shouted at Rin. "Right"

"Wait, the scroll!" He saw the scroll going down the river in the water. A traitor's saw where he was looking, saw it as was, and grabbed it. "Withdraw!" They all jump away quickly, so they could not stop them. Kakashi looks over to his two teammates on the bank. "Obito! Rin! Protect him!" Rin shouted at him "What about you, Kakashi!" Kakashi looks in front of him with glare. "I'm getting the scroll back!" Obito looks back surprised at what he was proposing. "That's reckless! You saw how much their were!"

Kakashi looks over his shoulder to his enemy. "I went and let you complain! If saving him I'd your Ninja Way. Completing the mission is mine." He jumps away. "Kakashi!" Rin shouts after him, "Ruby, we need to contact Minato-sensei!" Ruby agreed. "Yeah". She pulled out her weapon called the Crescent Rose, that is in storage mode, and put it into rifle mode. Jumping into the air, she shot a bullet into the air which was bright enough to see from a mile away.

Having heard the noise, Minato turns around to see a light in the sky, "Ruby..."

**********Time skip brought to you by Sister Location**********

The group of Rain shinobi, jumping through the trees, saw one of there enemy ninja on a tree ledge in front of them. "You bastard, do you think you can take us all by yourself!". About fifty ninja surrounded Kakashi as he takes out his father's katana. "I will complete my mission." The leader smirks, "Kill him."

"Ruby! Did you find him?" Minato says landing next to his little sister. "Kakashi went after the enemy to get the scroll back!" He puts on his thinking face, narrowing his eyes, "Kakashi did what," he said jumping away; in the direction of his pupil. "I hope I make it in time," he said while making a shadow clone to follow him.

When they was going on, you can find Kakashi fending for himself against many Rain shinobi who are attacking him all at the same time. The leader smirked as he saw that he was in front of him. It changed into an awestruck expression as Kakashi took the secret missive away from him by slashing him with his katana. "Don't let him...get away!". Seeing their leader fall unconscious, they angrily charge at the white haired ninja.

"Rasen-Flash Super-Circle Dance Howl Stage Three!". Yellow lightning and light was the only thing you could see as the traitors were killed one by one. Once it was clear, you could see The Yellow Flash standing in front of Kakashi. "Minato-Sensei," he said as his teacher walked forward and grabbed the scroll that fell into the forest ground. Turning back around, he looked at the masked boy with uncertainty, "so, were you able to uphold the principles you believe in?". Kakashi looks at him for a moment before putting his head to the side, not looking at him.

**********Sorry for all these time skips*********"

Team Minato and the, now healed, Rain ninja are back to the open clearing where the traitors showed themselves. "This complete's the mission.". Minato says handing him the secret missive. "Yes, thank you for saving my life," Minato narrows his eyes at that comment but let's him continue, "The Yellow Flash Of The Leaf. I hope we meet again someday.". They shake hands as Minato tells his team that it was time to head out. They turn and jump through the trees to get back to their village.

With Obito and Kakashi in the front, Ruby on the middle, and Rin and Minato at the back. "Sensei, missions are really difficult, aren't they?" Rin asks her teacher. "You're right. Things don't go the way you envision them.".
"But I'm glad that the secret missive was delivered safely," Rin says with a smile on her face while Minato narrowed his eyes. "Yes."

"So, we successfully completed the mission." Obito says talking to Kakashi. "Probably," Kakashi replied. "Probably? What do you mean?" He kept looking forward, not looking at the goggled boy, "Back there, he said 'thank you for saving my life'. If the mission was successful, he would be more concerned about the secret missive, and not his life." "What do you mean!?" Kakashi sighed but answered anyway, "The missive had also been a fake. We were probably decoys.

Another team delivered the real missive. That's the real mission they requested Minato sensei for a c-ranked mission. With Minato sensei as the escort, it would seem that we were gaurding the real missive." Obito looked at his rival confused, "when did you figure this out?"

"I thought it was a possibility when we discovered the first missive was a fake.". Obito. Was. Shocked. "And you risked your life to go after the missive that could have been a fake?". He kept his face still looking forward with no emotion, "That was the mission. That's my ninja way.". The Uchiha just stared at his comrade with a shocked expression.

Since Ruby was in the middle, she was able to hear their whole conversation from the beginning to the end. Her brother told her what happened to make Kakashi this way. Looking ahead of the huntress to see her the white haired teammate with sad eyes, "Kakashi..."

**********I hate doing so many time skips**********

(Ruby's Point Of View)

We got back to the village around the evening, and Obito would not shut up on how good he did and what not. Once we got through the village gates, Minato nii-san stopped us to tell us instructions. "Since it is getting late, you all go home and get some rest. We will meet in two days to do some training at Training Ground Seven. Ruby, you will come with me to talk with the Hokage.". My teammates all went home while my brother and I raced to go report in.

We were let in right in, probably because he has nothing else to do at this time. "Ah Minato, Ruby, how did the mission go, was it a success?" He asked us with a smile. Nii-san told him that it was a success, and the whole traitors and that we did not have the secret missive; we were just a decoy, but we completed it anyway. "Ah very good, very good, ... So do you think your ready, Minato?". I hear a sigh next to me, "I believe with Ruby's help, I will be able to go through with this.". On the outside I smile a little from hearing that comment, but on the inside I have a very determined face. 'I will make sure that everything will go as planned, and your will live a very happy life with a family... we didn't have.'. I dip my head down a little with a small sigh, I believe... no, I know he is going to have a family of his own...without me...and...will leave me behind. "Ruby?"

Him calling my name snapped me back to reality to where I see both men staring at me with concern. "Sorry, was just lost in thought.". They nod in understanding then Minato-nii bids the Hokage a goodbye as he wishes my brother good luck. My nii-san flashed us to a safe house outside the village, most likely to talk. "Alright, I told you the plan before we left, do you remember?" I nod, "okay good," he sighed with anxiety while looking up at the sky, "it is about 8:30, so it's about time. Remember that you will...". I nodded my head before interrupting up to answer. "Take Kushina-nee at 9:00 to Training Ground 8 to ask hey to train me for a awhile, and that is where you lead her to the tree at the top of the hill of where you had your first date... Pant... Pant.". I said that without taking a breath. I look up to see Minato with one eyebrow up with a confused expression for which i just shrugged too.

He rose his hand and patted my head saying that I was cute, which i blushed, and said that he was going to get ready. After that he flashed to go make preparations while I ran, playing"Immortals" by Fall Out Boy to make be run faster, to hurry back to my house.

Once arriving, I open that door to see Kushina, sitting on the couch, fixing up on our my brother's clothes that he ripped. She noticed that I walked in and put her needles down while standing up top giver me a hug. "Oh good, your home, I was getting worried about what happened to you! Where is Minato?" She asked as I shrugged. "Meh, he said that he had something important to do before he came home. I think it was an errand around the village, I don't know.". I am a really good actress or I am just good at lying which is what my nii-san says. Nee-san took that answer and asked if I wanted anything to eat since I missed dinner. "No, thank you, I ate before I came here. Actually, I was wondering since nii-san is busy that you could help me train. Our training grounds is being used tonight for the academy, so we will have to go to Training Ground 8 if that is okay?".

"Aw, my little Ruby comes to me to ask for help, your so cute!" She picked me up and rubbed my check against hers, "Of course I will help you, just let my get my ninja gear.". Putting on her work clothes, we head to the destination of where we are training.

Once they arrived they stood in the middle of the training ground facing each other. "All right, so what do u need help with, ninjutsu, tijustu, name it!". I smirk she thrusts her fist in the air at the last part of her rant. Nee-san is really going to make my brother very happy with her jokes, quirks, her cooking skills, and of course her kindness and determination! Seeing this now, I know that he will be happy with his new family. "I just need help with mediation so it is easier to focus on my music, and get better at being a huntress." Kushina nodded. "Alright, so what you need to do is sit with your legs crossed, like this, and just test your hands in your lap; just feel the wind and air flying past you and go ba..." There it was.

A candle was lit on the north path leading deeper into the forest that connects training ground seven and eight. Kushina-nee stood up and cautiously walked toward it. "What is that? What is there a candle there?". Another one lit up as she got closer while I got up and walked with her. "I don't know, but let's find out, but you go first.". She took my advice and walked following the candles that light up the path of Sakura with its cherry blossoms falling which looked very beautiful with the candlelight. 'Nice touch nii-san.'

I look at nee-sans face, and it was full of joy and bliss, now I come wait to see what will happen when she finds out what is happening. It must have been a coincidence because there was my brother, in his ninja suit, holding a candle. I hear a gasp next to me and I look to see her face with tears in her eyes and hands on her heart. "Oh Minato..". He walked towards her, "you remember this place don't you, our first date, where i asked you to be my girlfriend.". He took her hands in his. "How could I forget, that was the best night of my life.". "Well, I hope you can make a spot for another day for one you can remember." I stepped away so I do not interrupt or make things awkward, just let my brother do his magic.

"Kushina, we have been together for many years, and you brought light into my life, and not just mine, Ruby's also. You are able to be a mother like figure in her life, so she can be happy, and all I want is for her to have the right life; I know that you will really make our family be fulfilled.". I stare at my brother with wide eyes with tears shining. 'he... wants me to be in his family...'. "You are the most amazing woman that I have ever met. Your beautiful, kind, loving, determined, and even more words that would take me forever to express. Now would you do me the honors, of being my beautiful wedded wife," he got on his knees 'okay, you got this nii-san' I thought as he pulled out a bx and look up at her, "will you marry me?". I look up at Kushina she sees the ring, she's...crying, with her hands covering her mouth.

"Yes! Of course I will marry you!". Minato put the ring on her finger, and spun her around laughing while saying, "she said yes!". I let them have there moment while I am crying, remembering what he said in his speech. 'He...he wants me in his family, he doesn't want to get rid of me for her..'. "Ruby, are you okay sweety?". I look up to see the newly engaged couple staying at me with concern. "I'm... I'm just so... I'm just so happy!". I saw crying as they hug me at the same time.

I love this family...
