It's Hard!

"A jonin won't fall for that Naruto." Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Forget that! Not even a Chunin would fall for it! Poison Style: Whip of light!" Kiyomi recreated Sesshomaru's Youki technique, and the whip turns the eraser into a puddle of goop as it evaporates. Whip of Light isn't even a skill only Sesshomaru can use. Inuyasha had the ability to use it too, but he couldn't because no one ever taught him Youki Techniques and therefore had to create his own.

'I learned this from Anbu-San... She may not reveal herself, but I saw the Hand Signs for it when Iwa Shinobi came to assassinate me and Kiba. It took a lot of trial and error, but I finally am able to use it.' Kiyomi smirked but then frowned as she remembered her and Kiba were fighting for their lives before the Anbu intervened. 

Later on, in life, Kiyomi will look like a female Sesshomaru. Her Kekkei Genkai will evolve to the point where she will no longer look like an Inuzuka. Her appearance later in life will be permanent. She already has Tokijin and Tenseiga they appeared as soul-swords. When she reaches a certain level a power, she will gain Bakusaiga. Kiba's soul sword is natural Tessaiga... Kiba will look like Inuyasha later in life.

"Wah! Why did you do that dog breath!" Naruto yelled and whined.

"Because you'll make us look like idiots!" Kiyomi snarled and Sasuke finally realized what would happen if the prank was used, making him glare at Naruto. Kakashi couldn't help but smile at the girl who realized what would happen before the other two and already knew she would not only be the most powerful of the three but also will be the brains of the operations. Kakashi walked in.

"Hmm, my first impression is that one of you is an idiot the other tries too hard and the last one has the brain of a Nara." Kakashi smirked behind his mask at their reactions, Naruto threw a fit, Sasuke was contemplating and the Inuzuka merely lifted an eyebrow.

'She can use Shirogane's Whip of Light... Impressive... It's an A-Rank Ninjutsu, and she did it effortlessly as a genin. She must have seen the Whip of Light once... And learned it by herself... She's a genius!' Kakashi had a wide smile behind his mask when he saw the Whip of Light from the shadows.

"Meet me on the roof." Kakashi body flickers away and Kiyomi does the same.

~Huff, Huff~ "Your body flicker is way faster than mine... I'll need to work on that." Kiyomi had her hands on her knees as she bent over to get some air in her lungs.

"You're really selling yourself short. Most Genin don't even know Body Flicker yet, let alone go as fast as you did. And besides... I'm a Jonin. It's kinda expected that I'd be faster than you, even if you are at the Chunin level." Kakashi gave an eye smile.

"Mom told me about your test. It's all about teamwork. Also, the no eating breakfast is a deception, she said... Now let's see if the Knucklehead and the self-proclaimed avenger can figure it out... I was told so..." Kiyomi shrugged.

"Hmm, I'll have to have a talk with Tsume. She should not have interfered with my teaching. What is the point of this test? If you already know of it, I'm going to have to have a long talk." Kakashi snapped his smut book closed, making Kiyomi flinch.

'He must be pretty pissed at my mom for telling me.' Kiyomi sensed rage and she jumped backward in a defensive posture. She was preparing to run like hell!

'Tsume that is not okay!' Kakashi clenched a fist as he grit his teeth. He had an embarrassed look when he saw the sweat on Kiyomi's brow as she prepared to run.

"Mah, Mah It's fine. No need to be afraid." Kakashi mentally kicked himself he, reminded himself that she has something similar to Mind's Eye of Kagura.

Kiyomi wiped her brow with her sleeve with a strained smile and went to sit on the ledge and gaze out at Konoha. She swung her legs forward and backward as she looked at how so many people looked like robots.

"Hey Kakashi." Kiyomi asked as she kept looking at Konoha.

"Yes? And it's Sensei." Kakashi gave an eye smile.

"You're not my Sensei yet... So... I've noticed that many people have soulless gazes... Either from the third shinobi world war or the Kyuubi incident. Why does everybody hurt each other? The people who control and are controlled... will the day ever come when they forget the hatred in their hearts? Why do we attack each other? Shinobi killing each other with tears long since dried... Why don't Shinobi notice that our eyes are for acknowledging each other, our voice are for conveying our feelings, our hands are for holding the hand of the people who are precious to us... It feels like hope is useless and getting dimmer and dimm-" Kakashi interrupts her.

"No Kiyomi! You must never give in to despair! It's easier to despair, believe me I know! But if you allow yourself to go down that road, you will surrender to your lowest instincts! In the hardest times... Hope is something you give to yourself and to others..." Kakashi had his hands on her shoulders and spoke with a voice of experience and conviction.

"It's hard though! My hands are already stained red from all the assassination attempts on me and my brother! What is the point of living!? Blood covered hands are seen whenever I look in a mirror... And I recall the foolishness I committed... I know it was a mistake, and that killing is bad... I would cry myself to sleep and it feels like there is no end to my sins! What is even the point of the existence of Shinobi!? Are we merely... tools who have to kill the love and kindness in our hearts so that we will be of use a little longer before we break and become discarded like an old weapon?" Kiyomi grits her teeth, choked up, and cries tears bitterly.

Kakashi hugged Kiyomi and let her weep into his chest. "I won't lie... it doesn't get easier... But if you have your own Ninja Way... And follow your beliefs and ideals... Then you won't lose your humanity, as long as you create your own ninja way... The kindness in your heart will never be extinguished!" Kakashi rubbed her back and sighed.

'She's only twelve years old but has already killed. Having Assassins gunning for her just because she has a new Kekkei Genkai... It must have been rough.' Kakashi petted her head and did his best to console the child that isn't quite broken but has some cracks.

Sasuke and Naruto wait patiently at the staircase. Sasuke empathized with her while Naruto wanted to go help her in his own way, but Sasuke was having none of that, so he put a hand on Naruto's mouth and pulled him back and away from the grieving girl, Sasuke wondered why the teme has zero tact... Sasuke knows that what Kiyomi needs right now is to let it all out, not be disturbed by this hyperactive, idiot. Sasuke has had to let it all out when he was at home. Crying always made him feel better not that he would ever admit it or tell anyone of it. Sasuke sees her as a friend not just because she did her best to understand him and his pain but also because she never showed a look of pity, nor did she act like a fan girl.
