Chapter 1 : Troublesome Children

A tall, white-wild haired shinobi stepped into the room of Hokage’s secretary. The secretary and another shinobi, who were probably having a chat, looked at him. The two ANBU guards didn’t move from their spots except greeting the new comer with short nods. He was also wearing an ANBU uniform without his mask and weapons. His right eye was covered with an eye-patch and the sleeveless, black shirt’s high neck pulled to cover the bottom of his face including his cheeks and nose. The hands in his trousers’ pockets, he ran a lazy light blue eye over the room.

He saw a child about eight or nine years old sitting on the wooden bank at the side of the wall. The child had black hairs and bored black eyes which were checking him uninterested. His short sleeved black shirt’s neck was high and large circling the pale white and thin neck. He wondered how that fabric could stand rigid like that to not fall on the child’s thin shoulders. His black short was knee length and his upper legs were bandaged which were not looking like they were because of an injury. The shinobi guessed he was an academy student seeing the ninja shoes, the child had. He moved towards the table and greeted the other two adults with a nod.

“Hokage-sama is busy right now. You have to wait, Kakashi-san,” the secretary told him without asking what he wanted. “But if it’s urgent I …”

“I can wait,” the shinobi said and lifted a white brow when some yelling heard from the office behind the big thick doors.

“Ah, same as everyday…,” the young secretary waved his hand not minding the noise from the other room. “The troublesome children… as if we don’t have enough problems we also have to deal with these things.” He complained sending a glance to the child in the room. Kakashi turned and looked to the child. He didn’t show any reaction. The big, as black as coal eyes were darting from one spot to other on the opposite wall lazily.

Some more noise came from the office before it became silent and after some moments the door opened and a little frowning blond boy came out. Because of his thin and small frame he could be mistaken as a six, seven years old. His once white and now grayish shirt was large for him. He had faded black shorts. There were scratches and bruises on his legs and arms. After him a young man came out still apologizing and bowing to Hokage until he closed the door. When the door clicked shut he took a deep breath and turned. His eyes were scary.

“Naruto…,” he hissed between clenched teeth.

“Err…Iruka-sensei…” the child looked smaller under his teacher’s hard and dangerous looks.

Kakashi watched them amused as the pair left the room arguing. While the chuunin teacher dragged the child out by pulling his already red ear, he wondered if that ear would be bigger than normal, when the child got older.

He heard the child protesting about his punishment saying it was the ANBU’s fault if they fell for his prank. The white haired shinobi noticed one of the guards standing beside the door flinched lightly. Everybody in the room except the other child and himself looked after them disgusted.

After the secretary informed Hokage, the other chuunin waiting beside him went in the office with the black haired child. He noticed the Uchiha Clan symbol on the back of the child’s shirt; the only survivor of Uchiha tragedy.

“What he did?” he asked to the secretary. That child didn’t look like someone who would do pranks and cause trouble.

“Hm.. ah, Uchiha Sasuke?” the young man asked confused for a moment. “He had a fight with some children and injured them badly. Their parents wanted him to be punished. Two children are still in the hospital. With second degree burnt”

“Burnt?”

“Hai. I heard that child could use some excellent fire jutsus,” he shook his head disbelievingly. “well… he is the brother of that… that demon... you know… People are restless about him. Some thinks he can massacre everybody to test his own power like his elder brother did to their clan. He is only nine but already beating the bigger guys. Think what he can do when he is older and stronger”

The villagers of Konoha Gakure were uneasy because Uchiha Itachi, who was murderer of hundreds of people, hasn’t been caught yet. They were also abstaining of the last young Uchiha after what happened in the once famous and great clan. The village was still recovering after the attack of Kyuubi no Yoko and all its loss it shocked a second time with the massacre of Uchiha Clan by its own heir.

The people of the village were merciless. They despised and hated the blond guy named Naruto for being jinchuriki of the evil demon. In spite of seeing him like a hero as their previous leader wished they excluded the little child not seeing him as a savior for keeping the demon ineffective inside him. Like Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke was feared and accused guilty because of his brother’s crime. Although he wasn’t hated and excluded openly like Naruto -even some pitied the little guy- he was still not liked by villagers. Kakashi knew how much they could be cruel towards to the people who caused them pain by knowingly or mistakenly. It wasn’t important.

There was a knock at the door. It opened slowly and a tiny girl seen hesitant and shy.

“Ano…” she spoke timidly. Her big nervous white-pearl eyes were darting from floor to the people in the room.

“Yes,” the secretary called annoyed. He sure didn’t like to be bothered with children. “What can I do for you little girl?”

“I… uhm… I wa-a-a-nt to talk wi-i-it Hokage-s-s-sama,” she struggled fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.

“Why don’t you tell me what it is? Maybe I can help you?” he asked trying to hide his annoyance behind his kind and sweet voice. He leaned forward to hear the girl who was talking low and soft.

“uhm…,” the girl looked up hesitantly before she looked away again. “uhm… I… uhm… it’s…” the redness on the cheeks of the girl was increasing with her every effort to tell her problem. “..a-a-a-bout… Sa-a-a-s-ke-kun…”.

The secretary looked a little surprised. “What he did?” he asked not minding to hide his annoyance this time.

“Huh?” the girl looked up again confused. “I…” before she could continue the door of hokage’s office opened. The black haired child came out. He was looking bored as before. The chuunin followed him out and closed the door behind him sighing annoyed. “Let’s go,” he put his hand over the child’s shoulder who shrugged it off while glaring the girl. The girl flinched back and looked away embarrassed.

“So?” the secretary asked to the chuunin while the child walked out the room.

“A week home imprisonment.”

“That’s all?”

“What were you expecting?” he rubbed the back of his neck. “He is just a child.”

“Hn.” The secretary snorted. “You know you can say same for his brother too...when he murdered all his family…” when the other shinobi cleared his throat nosily he turned and looked to the girl who was looking towards to the door as if trying to decide leaving or staying. “Hey, girl, you still want to see Hokage-sama.” He asked.

“uhmm…” the girl jumped in surprise when she was addressed.

“You can wait until Kakashi-san finishes.” She shook her head wildly meaning no and then she ran out.

“Children nowadays,” he sighed.

“Isn’t she Hyuuga heiress, Hinata?”

“Don’t know,” he shrugged. “You can go in now Kakashi-san”

“Aa.”
