Slowly but careful not to hurt her, he pushed down her hand. He loosened his grip. If you looked into his eyes now, you only saw what you always saw in his eyes. "Kakashi .." she whispered and took a few steps away from him. "Yes, you've changed. Not much, but very good to notice," she continued in her whisper.

The said was silent. "Sensei Kakashi, how do you know this woman?" Asked Sakura, who was very interested in the whole thing. But she also knew that it was actually none of her business. But what should you do about such curiosity?

"A long, useless story, Sakura.", Kakashi replied only to her question, but emphasizing that he didn't want to continue.

"You call something like that a useless story?", Natzuki asked horrified and couldn't believe what her 'former boyfriend' was saying. "You know this whole story changed our lives. Our friend died in this story and YOU find it useless?"she almost yelled, since this wasn't a useless story at all, it was the story of Kakashi, Obito and her ...

"Shut up!" Kakashi hissed angrily. "This story is nobody's business."

Sakura backed away, startled. What was wrong with her sensei? Was this story they were talking about really that bad?

"The mission is over.", The gray-haired one uttered before he disappeared.

Natzuki looked sad, hurt but also angry at the ground. How could he call this story useless? She turned on her heels and started walking. What else would keep her here?

But one, don't let her go. "Wait!" Shouted the one and ran towards the blond-haired one. "You know why the Sensei reacted like that. Please tell us the story. Maybe we could help him.", Naruto, who was the one, said and smiled encouragingly.

The young woman smiled slightly. "You remind me of someone.", She spoke and stroked Naruto's hair."I don't want to upset Kakashi.", She continued and looked at the floor.

"He doesn't have to find out!" Said the yellow-haired genius and took her hand. He pulled her to Sakura and Sasuke. Natzuki let it go to himself. "But ..", she wanted to protest, but was interrupted by Sakura. "Nothing but. You won't be angry with Kakashi. You know him much better than we do."

That's right, the young woman thought approvingly. Kakashi could never get really angry. But should she really tell the story?

"This Obito what was it? And where did it come from?", Naruto asked curiously and sat down in the middle of the floor.

Natzuki looked at the young Ge-Nin. The way she judged him, he really wanted to know the story! "Then I have to start all over again.", She said and admitted defeat. The children would probably never leave her alone until she told the story.

But before she started to tell, she told her group that they should go, and they did.Natzuki's story:

A young boy with a mask on his face that went up over his nose was walking through Konoha. His eyes were on the floor. His gray hair was blowing slightly in the wind, so that his hairstyle was even more crooked than it already was.

The academy could be seen from afar.

He stepped into the academy and ran into a hall where all the students were supposed to meet.
The whole room was very full, because many students had come this year.

He was pushed back a little by a person and collided with someone. "Can't you pay attention?" Asked the person who could only be a girl and turned around. Who on earth had bumped into her? She looked into the face of a masked boy.

"I'm sorry.", Kakashi apologized. "But do you have to be so rude?", He asked the counter-question, because he certainly doesn’t allow himself to be yelled at like that, especially with something like that."I ..", she wanted to start, but didn't know what to answer. She uttered a "Baka!" Before disappearing into the crowd.

The gray-haired one grimaced a little. The day has already started well!

"If I may ask for silence!" A voice echoed through the room. A young woman stood at a microphone and waited until the room was quiet. A young man with blond hair that was a little tall stepped into the room. It was the fourth Hokage, Yondaime. "First of all, I bid you a warm welcome. Now the students will be read out in which class they are going to." The young woman gave him a small piece of paper. He nodded in thanks and then turned back to the mike. "Come to class A ...", he let it go and called to all students who should come to the class. Kakashi was there ...

~ * ~

"The students of class A follow me please.", Said the Hokage and ran through the crowd, followed by his little students.They left the hall and walked down a few of the many corridors.

Kakashi was walking next to a boy with blue hair and orange glasses on his head. But he didn't really pay attention to the boy. He was too worried about what to expect. But did you have a hokage as a teacher? He could hardly imagine ...

"You are pretty much in your thoughts about the Hokage, aren't you?" Asked the blue-haired boy next to him and gave him a small smile. The addressed looked at the boy and nodded slightly. "Since we're in one class, we could sit down together. My name is Obito Uchiha.", The boy introduced himself. "Kakashi Hatake.", Kakashi introduced himself and smiled slightly. Somehow he had the feeling that this boy would become a good friend!

On the way to their room, Kakashi and Obito talked about themselves. You could already see that they had a lot in common.

~ * ~

"As you have probably already noticed, I will be your teacher.I am Yondaime the fourth Hokage. ", the teacher introduced himself when they came into their hall and everyone had a seat." If you should have any questions just ask. And you don't have to hold back just because I'm Hokage. "He finished his explanation and grinned at his students.

"The Hokage is fine.", Obito whispered to his 'new' friend, who only agreed with him. Slowly Kakashi's arm rose. After less than half a second everyone was looking at him. Yondaime nodded, meaning that he should ask his question. "How many years can you become a genin?"

Yondaime was visibly surprised. "You can do your Genin exam at your age, but .. I think it's too early. You are still far too young. No student has yet managed to pass a Genin exam at the age of 5, let alone the Chunin Exam to pass! "He replied.

Now Obito answered too."But if you are sure and would give everything to take these Genin exams, would they let us go?" Kakashi looked at his blue-haired friend. So he really wanted to take the Genin exams. And don't finish this boring academy first.

"I would have to.", He admitted and sighed softly. "But to become a genin, you have to know some techniques and you don't, so it would be pointless to take an exam at all. You would fail and miss all of the teaching material. Better get that out of your head!"

Kakashi and Obito didn't want to or couldn't say anything more. Maybe the Hokage was right ...

"What should we do to convince you?" Asked a little girl who wore her brown hair loose.

"Do something that others can't!" Was the only answer he gave. The girl looked down. What did he mean by that?

Yondaime took a closer look at the three students. They were different from the others.Why did you want to take a Genin exam now? After all, they didn't know anything, did they? He would keep an eye on the three!
If only because they are the only students who want to take a Genin exam at this age.
