After War
"Obito's late again." Yasaki sighed blissfully into the wind. "By the way, where's Rin, Minato san?" Yasaki asked in relaxation still.
"Jonin medic training by my suggestion," Minato said as he watched the clouds float by as well. Their heads turned towards the forest as there was a yell and Obito came tumbling out, lying face down before looking up.
"Did I make it?" Obito asked with hope and panic in his voice.
"Nope, you're late... Again. When did you think we were supposed to meet up?" Kakashi asked, standing over Obito
"Well, you see, while coming here, I ended up having to help an old lady who had too much luggage across the street. And something was in my eye…" Obito said as he took out his eye drops and dropped them in.
"Yeah right, That's a lie," Kakashi said in a cool and annoying voice.
"Don't say that Kakashi. You helped the old lady didn't you Obito?" Minato asked with a smile on his face, he seemed to be in a good mood.
"I even carried her luggage," Obito said with a grin
"Sensei, you're too easy on him"
"Teme, can't you ever be nice sometimes? You're always bitching, it's getting damn annoying. What matters is discipline!" Obito said in a slight whine and Kakashi scoffed slightly with anger and
Yasaki chuckled. Minato smiled.
"Says the one who isn't disciplined enough, Good thing today it wasn't the Black cat who crossed your way and you had to take a long way, and You know the worst thing is, I can't even tell whether you are telling a lie or not", Kakashi said and Obito just pouted.
Yasaki laughed at the antics of these two. He put the arm around both Kakashi and Obito as he grins, "Wanna go and eat Ice-cream?"
Obito looked at him, "Hey Yasaki what are you doing here?"
Yasaki chuckled, "What do you mean? we are to take a mission together"
"I am dead, remember, Now wake up"
"What?"
"Wake up Yasaki"
"What are you--
"YASAKI WAKE UP"
!!!!
Yasaki suddenly opened his eyes. As he takes huge breaths and looked here and there.
"Tou san?", He looked up to see Sakumo
"It's alright... It's alright, You were cross-talking in your sleep", He hugged Yasaki
That's right Obito is dead. Dead and gone. Never to return.
"..."
Tears fell from his eyes
...
Spring came around once again as the snow dried up and the countries had been stable so far with very Fragile Peace treaty among them.
Skirmish among the villages still happen, and this Fragile Peace can be broken anytime.
Everyone was on their toes during this time. But in the midst of it, Konoha gained an alliance with Suna. Making them stronger than ever.
...
Yasaki goes to the memorial stone on his visit, he finds Kakashi weeping. The rain falls hard on his fallen figure.
He came forward and opened the Umbrella over Kakashi's body and his face turns towards Yasaki as he holds Yasaki desperately and cries.
Finally, he lets the umbrella go and lets the rainfall upon his face.
'Obito, are you doing fine buddy?' Yasaki smiled sadly
...
"Here", Yasaki gave Kakashi a box as his birthday gift
"What's this", asked Kakashi looking at the box
"Uncle Jiraiya gave it to me"
Kakashi nodded
"You will be able to overcome Obito's death through this"
"Really?"
"Hm"
"Thank you", Kakashi eye smiled
This day Yasaki pushed Kakashi into the dark path of pornography [Lol]
XXXXXXX
Even though Nations aren't fully going all out against each other. Skirmish and Death Count didn't decrease. The atmosphere is tensed than ever. It's only a matter of time. Before the Fourth Shinobi world war happen. The only question is when.
The hospitals are overfilled with the wounded and the dead.
There he finds little Itachi staring at a dead man's body, blood staining his small hands.
He bends down and covers Itachi's hands with his own and holds him while he cried.
Itachi told him that his father brought him to the battlefield on his birthday. Yasaki could see the fear in Itachi's eyes.
...
Yasaki asked Minato about his experience with Space-time Jutsu. Kushina helped in that.
Yasaki learned under the direct discipleship of Kushina alongside Rin, who is learning how to control her Chakra and strength since becoming Jinchiruki.
And to everyone shocked, Horror and surprise. It only took him 9 Months what took Minato years to learn. It was so freaking fast that they just gawked at him when he perfectly performed his first-ever Space time Jutsu.
She grins and shows off to Minato that her Disciple is a genius. That she is a better Sensei than Minato.
Yasaki smiled embarrassingly as he took his Sensei's side. And to make things worse. Kushina found her Partner in crime in all pranks. And he even cooks and does household work with her.
She laughed and teach him everything she knows; He on the other hand teach her Kenjutsu and the secrets of his steps. He might be on the younger side. But he is not known as the Peerless swordsman for no reason. It's nearly impossible to touch and beat him in head-on battles. Especially now that his speed is reaching Minato's level.
Sakumo on the other hand teaches him how to become all-round. He was in this bad of a shape on the battlefield because he was relying on his sensing abilities and his ability to dodge.
Yasaki learned how to become a better Assassin.
...
Minato was made Hokage, soon after the war ended.
He was hailed as a hero, a true shinobi who will protect the village.
But most of all, Hatake's name was whispered in all corners of the world.
Sakumo Hatake, The Legendary White Fang. Yasaki Hatake, The Peerless swordsman, and Kakashi Hatake, The Copy Cat Ninja.
Hatake Clan. A clan that only has 3 members in total. People all around the world whisper their name with awe and fear.
Konoha becomes bright, warm, and full of hope.
Minato is a bright, brilliant genius who brings hope to the village and will continue to do so.
Minato gave his speech in front of everyone with a red face. He was tripping a lot.
Yasaki smiled, Konoha is going to get better under Minato, as he alongside his family, His friend, and fellow disciple Rin and his Sensei Kushina, Clapped and laughed at Minato.
...
He meets Tsunade the night he decides to visit his mother's grave. He smiled gently and put food on her Grave as he gently wipes the leaves away.
"Hey Kaa san, at midnight I will be 18. I will be back with Tou san and Kakashi in the morning, but I guess I wanted to be with you"
He smiled, "I remember you wanted to know what type of a girl I will like in the future. what type of girl I will bring home to meet you guys... Her name is Mei. She is a Jonin of Kirigakure. We never actually dated, But we are married... and I like her... She is just like you. I am sure you will like her"
Then he hears leaves rustling and turns to see the Slug Princess of Konoha drunk and delirious.
He smiled gently, "You shouldn't drink so much Lady Tsunade"
He looked with sleepy eyes and a red face that reek of alcohol, "I remember you, You are that brat that I... what are you doing here"
"I am visiting my mother at Midnight, what are you doing here", He said smiling
"I am visiting my---wait. why should I tell you this", She asked falling on her ass.
Yasaki supported her, "Lady Tsunade, want me to accompany you?"
Tsunade laughs and helps herself to the sake bottles and lets her tears fall.
"You are just a brat, what kind of company can you give. You aren't old enough to drink either"
He kept on smiling gently, "You shouldn't spend so much time staring at Memorial stone, it's unhealthy. So, Tonight let me accompany you and also, at Midnight I will turn 18. Old enough to drink with you. Only a minute Left, I believe"
She laughed and shared her drink with him
He drank without hesitation.... and he was out just after drinking a single cup.
She laughed and laughed while staring at the Memorial stone, leaning on the tree.
It was almost morning, and she kept on drinking and staring at the Memorial stone in despair. She looked at the fallen and drunk Yasaki who was out in just one shot as she smiled, "You are a good Kid, Sorry for what I have done"
He mumbled in his sleep, Tsunade chuckled and let him sleep as she left
...
The days of Peace were boring and full of happiness with almost no killing. Even with the fragileness of peace.
Yasaki trained hard under Kushina while Training Shishui as his Disciple, Since in a trio of friends, Shishui, Itachi, and Hana only Shishui didn't have parents or anyone to teach.
Yasaki wondered; is becoming incredibly talented so damn easy these days? Shishui was even more of a Talent than Itachi.
He absorbed all the teachings and Knowledge about Kenjutsu from Yasaki like he was a Sponge.
Shishui wasn't as talented as Yasaki in Kenjutsu but close enough. His main talent lies in Genjutsu though.
Itachi trains under Fugaku, Hana trains under Tsume, and Shishui trained under Yasaki.
These children are growing up fast. It was only yesterday that Hana was biting his hand off, and Itachi and Shishui were playing tag. He is only 18, why does it feel like he is getting old. He sighed and went back to Meditate.
He was already on the verge of becoming a sword sage at this point of time.
Not to mention under the training of Kushina, his space-time mastery goes way up. He is even learning Fuinjutsu from her at this point.
If his Kenjutsu can not reach the point of Hashirama's Mukoton and Madara's Sharingan, he will create his own path and make his Kenjutsu cut through space and time itself and become even stronger than them.
...
During this time, He couldn't find Rin alone. Rin and Kakashi are always together.
She is cheerful around him. He is cheerful as well.
The only downside is that under Kushina sensei's training, Rin has become much more violent, Whenever Kakashi bring out that Orange book, It always disappear under Rin rage and Kakashi's thick tears.
He wonders why they don't actually date at this point.
He laughed when he saw his best friend pull down his Otouto's mask and kissed him only to make Kakashi blush like an Idiot and become Petrified.
He forgot that wasn't better than him.
He left, Kakashi and Rin would do just fine on their own.
...
Yasaki couldn't spend more time with Rin and Kakashi. He is not a Third Wheel. And he does not want to become one.
His own love interest is thousands of miles away. In a lockdown Village of Kirigakure. He has no news of her for a year now. He doesn't even know whether she misses him like he does or not.
So, In this entire village, he was all alone, Tou san is always training or at Kaa san's grave. Kushina sensei is always with Minato san. And Rin and Kakashi are always together as well. And he didn't have anyone else to go to.
Else than training, He couldn't find anything else to do. It's boring these days.
He quickly made a new friend though.
Tsunade... As they quickly become drinking partners and soon good friends. Though she is on the older side.
Even though Yasaki could hardly handle more than a single cup of Sake. She always chuckled at how Cute Yasaki is to get drunk in just a single cup.
Yasaki feels a close sense of kinship with this woman who is drunk and blabbering about her lost family, brother, and lover.
This woman, who has lost everything
...
"I have no idea why you didn't join the medic department, your chakra control is perfect," Tsunade mutters as she signed work reports and drank sake.
Yasaki shrugged, "Too much paper-work, By the way, department heads sure carries a buttload of work don't they"
"You have absolutely no idea. I feel like these are my eternal rival. Paperwork"
Yasaki chuckled, "Lady Tsunade"
"Hm"
"Why don't you find someone. It's not good to hang on to a dead guy"
She chuckled, "So who is going to take me, You?"
"..."
"Now that I take a look you are quite good looking yourself"
Yasaki chuckled, "I can't be as good looking as you. Looking at you any man would fall heel over their head"
"You trying to flirt with me?"
He laughed, "No. I am married already. And you are over 36 Years of Age, I am only 18 this year"
She laughed lightly, "Then, I don't think anyone would like to--
"Uncle Jiraiya has feelings for you"
"..."
"Lady Tsuna--
"I know. So, stop talking about it"
"..."
...
3 days later Orochimaru defects, That night Tsunade finds him and weeps into his arms like a child.
He didn't know, someone so old and so strong could cry so much.
...
Tsunade packs up a week later and sneaks away in the night with her apprentice Shizune, her dead lover's niece.
Tsunade runs from Konoha, from the memories that haunt her.
"Yasaki", asked Tsunade as she watches Ryo standing in front of the gate
He smiled gently at her, "I hope that you find your peace during your travel", He looked at shy and Little Shizne holding Tsunade's hand and peeking at him from behind her legs.
"You must Dan san's Neice, Nice to meet you", He grinned as he put his palm forward
She looked at his palm for a long time and then at Tsunade who nodded with a smile, as Shizune Grin, "My name is Shizune Nii chan", She took his hand
Yasaki chuckled and ruffled her hair to which she pouted, "My name is Yasaki, Remember to call me whenever you are in trouble. Nii san will come as soon as you call"
She tilted her little head, "How will you know that I am calling you"
He smiled and pointed at her chest, "It's called love"
"Love?", she asked confused
Yasaki nodded, "It's the most powerful technique in the world, so, whenever you call me with love, I will come to you"
She grin, "I love Shisou", she grins and hugged Tsuande's leg.
Tsunade chuckled
He pointed to himself, "Don't you love me as well?"
She nodded, "I love you too Nii chan"
He spread his arm around and she giggles and ran into those, he chuckled and hugged her, touching her little neck and putting a small seal on the back of her neck.
Tsunade looked at the seal on her back neck and instantly knew it was an emergency signal seal. If Shizune ever decides to activate it. Yasaki would definitely know where she is in a moment of seconds.
He bowed to her, "Goodbye. My friend"
He disappears in front of her eyes.
"Goodbye", muttered Tsunade as she left the village
He stared at Tsunade's fading form in the distance as the fierce winds blew and the sun began to rise.
The next day onwards, He was all alone again. And other than training under Kushina and teaching Kenjutsu to his Disciple Shishui as well as to Kushina sensei, he doesn't do anything these days.
...
Today, He is 19. As he finally opened his eyes from his meditative position.
"..."
He finally became a Sword Sage at such a young age.
