Chapter 21

Kakashi's POV

I woke up in my apartment because the children were playing outside, walking towards the window I saw them playing ball, and among them was that boy Naruto, the son of the fourth hokage, I was sad that he was going through such days, I wonder if my teacher would understand me, that I don't communicate with him so he doesn't know that he is the son of the fourth, they say that he will be in danger and the hunters will put a good price on him if they find out that he is the son of the fourth, I looked out my head and saw a pink haired girl and three others near him, these three are the children, Inoichi, Shikaku, and Chouza, apparently after Itachi started spending time with this pink haired girl who he treated like a sister, he introduced her to Naruto, they may have known each other before, but Itachi made them get to know each other better, like they should be a team, they must have met their classmates on the way and are playing together.

I got dressed and washed up, I have nothing to do today so I don't even know where to start, maybe my romance book.... Well, that's for tonight, but now, I'm thinking about it as I walk outside, looking at the building next to me, it's a shame Itachi's not here, he's on a Rank-S mission, in the land of stone, or who knows?, maybe he's on his way home and will be here tonight.... It's a shame he's not here today, it's my day off, I was going to spend it practicing my sharingan, sharpening my skills so I could save chakra, only Itachi could help me with that, maybe he could even find a solution on how to use the kamui without serious damage, but since he's not here I'll have to do what I would have done earlier heh, now I'm in the middle of the street I'll see those kids, Naruto and his pink-haired friend and the children Inoichi, Chouza, and Shikaku, and if I remember correctly their names are Shikamaru, Ino, and Chouji, they're walking towards the forest, the training grounds, they probably want to play there because of the nature and more space, and I'm following them, so they don't run away behind the gate from the konoha, I'll follow them quietly, maybe I'll get some positivity from the kids, from that thought I smiled as I closed my eyes.

I see them already leaving to that training area near the forest, I follow them, jumping from roof to roof, and I see them already leaving the village, reaching a field with grasses, trees, also they were standing in the middle of a spacious field, I hid behind a tree and started listening to their conversations in the field.

-Hey! Guys this is a great place to practice shuriken throws, also taijutsu-" Naruto started, turning around and looking at his friends.

-Training? -I thought we just wanted to play ball," Shikamaru yawned lazily, looking at Naruto.

-To become the fifth hokage I need to start training right now databayo," said the uzumaki with his trademark smile.

-Ha! By the time you finish the academy, the fifth hokage will have already taken over when the third one retires," Ino replied with a smile.

-Well then I will become the sixth hokage and protect the village and achieve glory haha," Naruto replied without lowering his smile.

-But even then you'll have to wait ten years," Sakura began with a smile, and Naruto stared at her questioningly, and she continued, "You can't become a hokage because you're too young, even the fourth hokage was 23 years old, and was recognized as the youngest hokage of all time.

-And by then, if you don't make it in time, another heh," Shikamaru added with a smile.

-Well, then I'll become the seventh hokage databayo!, and if there's no extra room for me in the hokage's faces, I'll tear them down ha! - Naruto finished the sentence, clenched his hands into a fist and raised the top, also smiled with all his teeth.

-And I'll be as cool as Itachi Uchiha ha! - Chouji added, looking serious and raising his hands.

I have to admit that their conversation amuses me, I even forgot about the book for a while, I see the girls start laughing after Naruto and Chouji's words, and Shikamaru hits his face with his palm, probably thinking "idiots" heh, and suddenly I notice a noise, like someone forcefully throwing a kunai into a tree, and I see that the guys noticed it too, they walk towards where the noise was and I follow them out of the trees, when they get to this spot they see one of the last survivors of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke the Uchiha, he's there hanging a couple of targets by a tree and throwing a kunai at them, then he spots Naruto and the others, and Naruto smilingly says.

-Ei Sasuke hi!, will you play ball with us-" the nine-tailed jinchuriki began with a smile.

-I thought you wanted to practice," Shikamaru, who was standing equally with him, replies.

-This can wait after all I will still become the hokage databayo hehehe- -with a smile and closed eyes he looks at Shikamaru and the latter adds a slight smile as well.

-Fuck off I'm busy," Sasuke replies indifferently.

-Come on Sasuke, you're not going to spend all day practicing, are you? - Ino said, trying to cheer him up.

-That's what I'm going to do all day, and I don't want to waste my time on you losers-" Sasuke replied, not looking away and throwing another kunai at the tree.

-What a fool you are, we want what's best for you-" Naruto replied, giving him an angry look and clasping his hands together.

-Shut up asshole, or I'll put you in the ground with one hand- -After the last sentence, Sasuke activated his sharingan with a single tome, and Naruto widened his eyes and clenched his teeth and in his trademark manner responded.

-IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT DATTABAYO, LET'S GO OUTSIDE AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S A LOSER! - Naruto replied in his trademark manner, which seemed cute from the outside.

Things seem to be going bad, two 8 year old boys want to fight, I was about to step in and break them up when suddenly.

-Naruto cool down and let's move on... - Shikamaru puts his hands on Naruto's shoulder and says it all.

Naruto does his usual serious look and nods to him, and the rest of them walk past Sasuke, with Sakura adding at the end.

-Train all you want, but you'll never be like the main hero of Konoha, Itachi-Uchiha- -says Sakura then looks away from him and catches up with her friends, and Sasuke throws his kunai even harder into the tree.

Even kind of sad, such a boy this Sasuke, with good potential, and appearance and strength uchiha, but in character he is evil and even vindictive who knows what he will be when he grows up .... I guess Itachi knows more than he's letting on, and I realized that he doesn't talk to him at all as if he knows what he's going to be, but that's just a thought and a guess, and in the six months that I've lived next door to him, he's always changing the subject when the conversation gets to him, but it doesn't matter now, let him train, and I'm going to keep watching Naruto and his team, they've moved away from Sasuke enough, and they're back in a similarly spacious field, and Naruto stops and starts:

-Why is he such a bore and a jerk?! - he said, looking at the ground with sad eyes.

-I'm wondering about that myself-" Sakura replied with her arms folded on her piles and an angry tone.

-I think you guys should know the truth- - Ino started.

-Ino shouldn't - said nodding Shikamaru, looking to Ino's side.

-What's not worth it? -What are you talking about? What kind of secrets dattabayo! - Naruto said with an angry look.

-Itachi became a konoha hero not only because he defeated the mangekyo-sharingan monster that ruled the nine-tails," Chouji began, and Sakura and Naruto listened attentively, and Ino and Shikamaru let him continue as well, "he became a konoha hero because he exterminated his entire uchiha clan, who were plotting a coup and killed every last one of them, including the one who ruled the nine-tails eight years ago, Fukagu-Uchiha.

Naruto widened his eyes and wondered, he had wanted a family all his life and a living clan to have some relatives who would always listen to him and accept him, he wanted to become a hokage just so that the village would respect him and become a family, replacing his own family and clan, but what Itachi had done, Naruto didn't even think it was possible, and if it were him he would have tried to reason with everyone to the last and he could have been killed, but unlike him Itachi was more determined, Naruto realized that he couldn't catch up with his infinite will, and Sakura looked horrified at the news, then she looked sad, at the thought of saving the village Itachi had killed everyone he knew in his clan, he even wanted to become a criminal ninja renegade nukenin rank-S, but the village after hearing about it became even more respectful, at least I think so, although that's likely, because Naruto reminds me of my teacher, but not in personality heh, and this pink-haired girl I remembered she's Kizashi's daughter and her name is Sakura.

-But how did you know about it databayo?" asked Naruto raising one eyebrow.

-My father Shikaku-nara is one of the Hokage's advisors, and once I overheard him talking in the Hokage's office with the Third and learned about it-" Shikamaru answered Naruto's question.

-Chouji and I found out about it too when our fathers met at a bar and were drunk talking louder- Ino added.

-But why didn't the third one tell us that himself? Why hide it from us?", Sakura's question was interesting.

-The Third Hokage thought it was right for us to kill family and clan.... Shikamaru gave a lecture to his friends, adding, "I think that's why Sasuke's so angry, he doesn't talk to anyone, and you know what, we'd better keep it a secret and not tell anyone until after the academies are over," Shikamaru finished and everyone nodded.

-All right databayo let's play ball," after Naruto said that, Chouji took out a ball and they started playing and laughing and having fun, and I smiled and went on my way.

They're cute kids though, maybe if I became a jonin again, being a teacher and captain for those kids would be a great idea...? although when Itachi said that I might be a great captain for my team and that they might even save the world with a leader like me, it made me think, he said it as knowledge, not confidence, I don't know what he had in mind, although I'm pretty sure he's got a lot of confidence in me, heh, I thought about it as I started walking down the path, looking at the trees, when I got out of that field-forest, I got to the ninja academy, I thought about Rin and Obito, what are they thinking about in paradise?, if they're looking at me, or if they're not there anymore. I heard about the word reincarnation from Itachi, because we've been living together for six months, we talked about a lot of things.

I passed by the academies, and thought how Itachi has so much knowledge?, to talk as if he had been to paradise, and after his philosophical thinking, I realized that he studies astronomical knowledge.... and he studied anatomy at the age of 6, and he was strong in geometry too, since he knows well the trajectories of kunai and shuriken, even at the age of 10, when he joined the Anbu, he showed everyone how he jumped from his seat, took eight kunai between each finger, and threw both kunai along the target and two more kunai to hit them for accuracy in the targets, and he also did the same with those kunai that were in the other hand, as a result he was able to hit the center of all 8 targets, although over time he honed this skill well and even blindly learned to throw well, having memorized the movement beforehand... by the way, and at the expense of my knowledge, it's time for me to finish my favorite part, I sit on a bench near the park, and take out a book, open the page and finish my favorite part.

The violence of flirting: chapter 18

The morning was kind, the birds were flying and our main character Rory was walking through the city as if he was at home, he was fixing his long white hair on the way, he always took care of it, he was dressed in an expensive black kimono because he was from a rich family, and he thought about Mayte and loved her, she was also from a rich family, but he couldn't marry her, their families were against their marriage, and they had a distrustful relationship, but he loved her and he knew it was mutual, he remembered the first time they met when they were 8 years old and near a waterfall when they didn't know about their family's disagreement, he still remembered her red and long hair, during those 12 years, they changed, he started to take care of his hair by wearing a black kimono, and she also grew red hair and wore short denim shorts and a purple vest, then Rory decided to send a secret message to her, he called a falcon and put a letter that would fly to the waterfall where she spent a lot of time, he knew that if he sent the letter to the castle, her father would know that they are still in a relationship, and the letter continues to fly and reaches the bridge at the waterfall, Mayte smiles as she realizes who it is from, and reading it says that he wants to meet at his family's place, said that there is no one there, she goes there with a smile, continues until it reaches and notices that sunset has already come.

The manor was, at the edge of their village and there was no one there, going into it there were many rooms, and Mayte first knocks and noticing that the door is open, and she goes in and sees her lover with long white hair, who stands and looks at her standing in the spacious hallway and starts:

-Maybe it's good to see you," Rory began with a smile.

-Rory, you said it was bad news what did you mean?", Mayte inquired, making sad eyes.

-My father wants me to marry a Sunagukura princess, I don't know her name yet, but I can't cross him... - Rory said sadly, and took his hair with his left hand and started scratching it to his right side, as it calmed his nerves.

-What are you implying?" replied Mayte, and changing her face to anger, added, "Do you want us to break up? You promised we'd be together!

-I'm sorry, but our families will still be against it and we can't have a future," he said this with gravity and started walking away from the manor.

-Ah, that's how you are!, -she said, dropping a tear, and he continued to walk away trying to ignore her words -You didn't love me!, get married and live happily ever after, you always wanted it!, I hate you! - she started crying hard.

He was badly hurt by her words, he clenched his fists, and furrowed his brow, ran at lightning speed towards her, and pinned her against the nearest wall, with both hands taking hold of her shoulders and started:

-Do you think I'm enjoying this myself? -It's a hard decision to make, because I love you more than anything in the world, but we can't be together," he said in an angry tone, and then changed it to a sad one.

-You yourself told me as a child that love conquers all ... - She said, soothed by his strong arms that pressed her against the wall, so she felt loved, and took his face in her palm and began to caress it with her soft hands.

And he pulled her to him and kissed her passionately, even smothered her with a kiss, after 15 seconds he pulled away to give her a breather, then she glowed and smiled and said "Thank you for your love Rory" and Rory replied "I've always loved you Mayte..." and she then started to lift up his shirt to take it off.

-What will be interesting next?", - I said with a curious smile, continuing to read my book from flirting to love, sitting in a park bench, and wanted to turn the page as suddenly I was distracted.

-Hi Kakashi, -When I heard his name called I was startled for a moment and closed the book abruptly and saw Kurenai across from me she was in her usual white clothes.

-Kurenai? "Hi long time no see," I said looking at her, she takes a seat next to me in the bench.

-Really... Since you've been the leader of the Anbu, you've been so busy with missions, I'm glad you have the day off today," she said smiling and looking a little sad, and I noticed that smile suited her, with her scarlet eyes.

-Something was shaking?", I inquired raising an eyebrow and setting the book aside.

-What makes you think that? - She looked at me questioningly.

-I can see that you're sad, and my intuition with sharingan is advanced as you already know- -I said smiling at the end.

-Huh, really... I guess you can't hide anything from me," she said smiling and then she turned her gaze back to sadness and continued, "I think you already know that Asuma didn't just treat me as a friend, it's like he wanted to take the first steps, but unfortunately that's not going to happen....

-Why did you decide?, you said that everything is possible, -I asked her and noticed her sadness, and continued -you know, I have a whole free day ahead of me, so I'm ready to listen -she smiled after my words and looking forward began.

-It's been 8 months since I joined the hokage's anbu-konohi, I joined when I heard about the Nara clan's exploits in disarming explosive seals, or rather a group of sappers, and Itachi-Uchiha was among them, their exploits even inspired me, I decided to become useful to the konoha.... - she looked down and added - that's why I joined the Anbu, I feel like I shouldn't have joined the Anbu, and that it wasn't my destiny, I can't even explain this strange de-ja-view, maybe Itachi's deed of helping the Nara clan inspired me, so I decided to help by joining the Anbu.

-Well I think that Itachi really did a lot of good," she shifted her gaze to my side, and I looked up at the blue sky and continued, "he saved Konoha from unnecessary losses by wiping out his entire clan single-handedly, and he even wanted to take the role of a nukenin to take all the negativity on himself, it's a shame there aren't many of those in the world, he's an inspiration to me too," I shifted my gaze to hers and continued, "so about Asuma? I thought you said something about him not taking those steps.

-In fact, I'm the one who won't take those steps... - She said sadly, and I continued to listen to her. "For some unknown reason, Danzo has been using emotions for the last six months, and he's completely changed the root-anbu, and now they've merged into one with the Anbu Hokage, and as leader of one of the groups, I'm moving there, to the headquarters they're building, and Hayate's being sent there today before lunch, and me in a couple days, so I won't be seeing any of you for a long time, not even Asuma.

-I see... At least Hayate and Yugao will be there, and they're childhood friends of ours from the academies too, heh, and if you want you can try to leave the Anbu, Itachi left," I suggested.

-No Kakashi, I have to stay there now it's not a good time to leave a shinobi during a hard time," she paused for a couple seconds and continued with a more positive smile, "and actually I joined the Anbu-voluntarily.

-I got up from the bench and fixed my mask, looking toward Kurenai, I added, "Maybe we should go to a diner, a canteen, a konohi, it'll help take your mind off things, and they say they serve dango at a discount.

I was noticing the sunset, also the Hokage had informed me to be aware that the civil war would start today at the hidden herb village, if I'm not mistaken Itachi and his partner Kisame Hoshigake are there, I assume they are there since it's a shortcut for Konoha, and I'm sure they'll be fine, because I knew what Itachi and his partner Kisame were capable of, they're hard to kill, I don't know how we'd deal with them if they were nukenin, heh, while I was thinking about it, I was distracted by kurenai.

-Kakashi, what are you thinking about?" she asked me with one eyebrow raised.

-Grass Village, there's kind of a civil war going on there right now, and Itachi and Kisame should be there," I said in a casual tone.

-I'm sure they'll be fine, because I've heard about Hoshigaka-Kisama, he was one of the strongest swordsmen in the mist, and I don't think it's even worth specifying what he's capable of," she told me.

-Actually, I was thinking about the fact that this village of grass is very similar to the place where my companions Rin and Obito died... - I don't know why I decided to tell her, I guess I didn't want to hide my feelings and tell someone.....

-You know, Rin and I were good friends, I'll never forget her, and Obito... I can still hear his positive laughter when I pass by academies listening to the laughter of children, and wherever they are I'm sure they're happy for you and what you've become or even what you're going to become.... - She comforted me with her smile and scarlet eyes, looking in her direction I felt good.

We had already reached the canteen while we were chatting, and after entering the building we sat down at a comfortable place near the window, and when the waitress came and I decided to order a strawberry smoothie, Kurenai chose the same.

-I didn't know you were drawn to fruit Kakashi-" she asked laughing slightly.

-Well, what can I say, I'm a lover of variety," I said smiling closing one eye.

After a couple minutes, the waitress brings us a cocktail, although I notice that I don't look like a waitress, and I see that there's only one glass..... but it's a big one with two straws in it?

-Please - brought us this glass by the restaurant manager herself, and by the looks of it she was dressed in a black uniform and by the looks of it she was of age, and she continued - your order is one romantic strawberry cocktail.

-I'm sorry, but we didn't-- - I was gonna say, "but we didn't order a romantic cocktail," but she interrupted me.

-You just look so good as a sweet couple that I decided to give you, at the expense of the establishment - she winked at me, suggesting that I make as if the first step forward to Kurenai, and then she shifted her gaze to the blushing Kurenai, nodded to her, probably hinting that she was sure of her kind of feelings for me, and then went back to her place, oh Kami-sama why I'm in this situation.

-I feel awkward," I said, trying to pull myself together from the awkward moment and Kurenai added, "Me too," and I wanted to change the subject to a joke and added with a smile, "Well, since the cocktail is on the house, why don't we have a drink together?

-Something else," she hummed with a grin.

-I have an idea - I take out a scroll, and call my spare glass, and continue - I kept it to drink water safely by the river, during the time that I am the leader-anbu, I have become more prudent and take not only a flask, but also my favorite glass, it is comfortable to drink in.

-Genius idea, I think I know what you're up to, do you want to pour half of it for yourself and leave the other half for me? - I nodded and I did, but I took one of the tubes from that glass.

She was the first to start drinking her strawberry smoothie, she must have been thirsty all day, and I wanted to start drinking strawberries too, since I haven't had them in over two years, and when I take off my mask I notice that Kurenai is looking at me surprised, and I think I understand why... she like the rest of our academy has never seen me without my mask before, even Gaius doesn't know what I look like without it... Heh...

-Surprised?" I started, smiling with the left side of my lip and showing my white teeth, and added, "Though you know I'm not a fan of drawing a mask I rarely open.

-Yeah, I thought you had a scar or a serious abrasion under your mask, but I didn't expect you to be so handsome," she closed her mouth sharply with both hands as she realized it sounded ambiguous, and then we both laughed and continued to drink our deep strawberry cocktails.

***

We spent almost the whole afternoon talking, and I was helping her take her mind off this problem of moving the staff-anbu that was already built and we walked around the castle-kikyo, and she also confessed that she was also reading this romance book she'd noticed in my hands during the day. I could have read it, but hearing from Kurenai was more interesting, and she told me how the chapter ended, after a passionate night, Rory and Maite ran away from their village to the town where they were together, Rory didn't care that his father would be angry that he didn't marry the princess from Sunagakura, but ran away. In time he was sure their families would understand their decision, that was the end of that chapter of my book, I realized I had more similar tastes to Kurenai. After passing by the castle-kikyo we came out on the main street of Konoha, it was already night, the stars were visible and we even passed by the ichiraku ramen, she decided to ask something.

-By the way Kakashi, why do you even wear a mask?", Kurenai inquired.

-I started wearing it since I was 4 years old because a lot of people said I looked like my father, and he was the hero of Konoha back then, like White Fang, I wanted to be a hero and savior too, but not be his shadow.... I wanted to be a hero in my own way, so I wore a mask. Over time, I realized that it symbolizes me well, I feel like a person in it, and unique, and I also know that no one will compare me with my father in appearance. when he died, I also continued to wear the mask, because I felt that only it supports me, after everything that happened.... - I said in a sad tone and suddenly noticed her grabbing my hand.

-I understand how you feel, because my father also died during the nine-tailed attack on the village, and I'm sure he really would have wanted me to let him go and move on with my life, because his last word in the note was about that, in case of his sudden death, but after the line that he was watching me in the star of paradise, I was relieved and accepted it, and even happy, and realized that he wanted me to live a life of happiness. I'm sure your father would want the same for you..... - she said, adding a smile at the end, with her ruby eyes.....

-You know, and I even like my mask, because in it children call me, "good scarecrow", and when I smile, I feel like myself, I think you're right, we should live - I said with a smile and she even laughed a light laugh, and I did not lower her warm hands as I was pleased.

We started walking towards her house, since it was already night I realized it was late so I walked her so she wouldn't be bored on the way. When we got to her house I put my hands down her arms and she blushed. She probably only noticed it now that I had been holding her hands the whole time and told her before she left "Quite an interesting day it was, goodnight Kurenai". She replied with a smile and said "Good night Kakashi, thanks for listening, and for this day." After saying that, she added a smile and went into her building and I continued to walk further thinking about what an interesting day it had been, getting to know the life of Naruto, my teacher's son. The fact that he is friends with Kizashi's daughter and even how they communicate with the next generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, of course, the stubborn Sasuke, who is worried about incomprehensible revenge, I also learned the plot of my favorite book chapter, which, by the way, Kurenai also reads. It's even kind of sad that we'll be seeing less of each other soon when she moves to the staff-anbu. It was most enjoyable to spend the day with her, Heh....

I turned towards my house, I started to walk there, suddenly, across from me, in the main street, stood my anbu acquaintance, it was Tenzo, well although now his name is Yamato, by order of the third. He jumped off the roof and landed in front of me and stood up, I started:

-Hey, Tenso! -How are you? - I said with a smile, though he didn't realize I was smiling because I was wearing a mask.

-I'm doing fine, please don't call me that, Kakashi-senpai-" he said out of discomfort.

-What's wrong? - I asked.

-Hokage-sama wants to see you and he sent me to tell you so-" I nodded, he understood, and I walked towards the hokage residences, taking my time while reading the next chapter of my book.

***

When I got to the hokage's building, I saw two, from the anbu, start to escort a red-haired woman along with her daughter, with hair color like her mom's. Strange? Only those from the Uzumaki clan have that appearance. These two anbu hokage escorted them personally, probably because the hokage gave them lodging, following I enter the building, I quickly walk up to the office and opening the door, walking in, I see there, Itachi returning with his mission, and Kisame Hoshigake from the mist, both were wearing black cloaks.

-I started, looking at the third hokage, and then I looked at the two cloaked men and started, "It's good to see you, Itachi, and nice to meet you, Kisame Hoshigake.

-This is the copy-ninja Hatake-Kakashi, heheh, nice to meet you too," Kisame said smiling, and it was obvious he wanted to be polite, and I smiled back at him, closing my eye.

-Kakashi I called you because it's necessary, and I don't think you'll like this offer.... - The third man looked at me and closed his eyes.

-I'm listening-" I said confidently to make it easier for him to say it.

-I'm sure you already know that Hayate moved from his house to the anbu headquarters today, and that you're the leader of your anbu group, and that my hokage and root anbu have merged into one, I'm afraid you're going to have to move to the anbu headquarters too, I smiled, knowing they wouldn't notice, but Itachi looked at me, noticing my facial expressions, and even looked at me questioningly, seeing my hidden joy.

-I understand hokage-sama, when," I replied, and began to wonder.

-In two days, sorry if I'm making you rush, but I think you understand what time we have, and Konoha is in a negative streak.... - said the third with a slight sadness, though he didn't show it.

-By the way hokage-sama I would like to stay by moving to konoha" Kisame said smiling and the third hokage and Itachi paid attention to him and he continued "we are stable in the mist village but konoha as you said is in a negative streak I think you will need my help heheh I'm sure the mizukage will approve.

-That's very unexpected of you, well although I like the suggestion I will send word to the mizukage," the third replied to him with a smile.

-I think I've done enough for today, I'm off to my room, good luck Itachi-san," Hoshigake-Kisame finished as he left the office and looked at me, "good night Hatake-Kakashi.

-By the way, Tsuchikage also said that their cloaks were created exactly in the land of earth, if something happens to them, they will make the next cloaks for you and for free," added the third exhaling smoke from the tobacco.

-I'll take note," Itachi smiled with his arms folded across his chest, along with Omna nodding goodnight to Kisame and he left the office with a smile while adjusting the collar of his cloak.

-Hokage-sama, let me ask you something," I said, and the hokage nodded, and I continued, "when I entered the building, I noticed a woman with her daughter, accompanied by two Anbu, were they from the Uzumaki clan?

-Actually, and they were brought here by Itachi saving them from the civil war that would be in the grass village-" smiling he shifted his gaze to Itachi.

-I just did what any shinobi would do, nothing-" Itachi answered him with a slight smile.

-Till this day, I didn't know there were still survivors of the Uzumaki clan, it's still Itachi's feat that you saved them-" I said in a tired tone, fixing my mask.

-I think it will be midnight soon, it's time for me to go to bed soon too, now that the mission is over you can go home- said the third one, and we nodded and left his office, while he was sorting some papers before going home.

End of Kakashi's POV

After they nodded, Itachi and Kakashi made their way to their house together, walking equally since they were in the same neighborhood, it was late at night... everyone was already asleep, so Itachi decided to start:

-Kakashi I have a question- Itachi began.

-Hmm?, what is it? - Kakashi replied.

-Why did you smile when the Hokage transferred you to the staff-anbu?" he shifted his gaze to Kakashi and asked.

-Well, a few of my close acquaintances have already been transferred there, and I'm glad to be with them- Kakashi answered him with a slight yawn.

-Sorry, I'll miss having such an interesting roommate,‖ Itachi said smiling lightly and shaking his cloak out of the dust.

-I'm comforted by the thought that I won't be there forever, because after today, I realized that I want two things out of life... - said Kakashi thoughtfully, looking up at the full moon.

-And which one?" itachi inquired.

-I decided that I wanted to be captain of the Genin team," he said, smiling slightly, and continued, "and the second reason is that I'm glad I'm going to move to headquarters.

-I see - he smiled with his right lip, he looked forward, and guessed that he wanted to move there for someone, because he recognized that face, the face of the romantic in the book he read, but Itachi was good at anatomy and knew every facial expression of a person, in psychology he was also above the level, and guessed what a person was thinking, at the thought that he fell in love with someone Itachi smiled.

Next, they reached their homes.

-Itachi said sleepily, smiling lightly, as he hadn't slept much, even carrying Karin on his back, having fought during the day, creating many clones, even Kisame was exhausted, probably snoring in his room, Itachi thought.

-Really home, even though today was a day off for me, the day has worn me out," Kakashi said happily looking at the building of the house.

-I understand. my day is definitely not sugar, but at least the hard part of the journey is behind me Heh..... - replied the hero-in-chief.

-Well then good night Itachi, I'm sure you deserve it-" Kakashi said walking towards his building to enter the house.

-Goodbye Kakashi- Saying this Itachi entered the building and onward home.

At home he took off his cloak, and covered himself in a blanket, he also closed his eyes, with a smile that he was able to prevent the horrible account of this innocent girl Karin, Itachi is sure that she will be a good student, Naruto will be happy that he is not the only Uzumaki in the class, even the others will be friends with her too, with a good thought he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
