Kakashi's Farewell: The story of his Love and Sacrifice ( Part 2 )
Kakashi's Farewell: The story of his Love and Sacrifice ( Part 2 )
Kakashi was so lost in thought that he didn’t notice his mask had been torn off and found it rather humorous, “Oh, I guess it got torn during the fight.” He beamed a smile, “That’s OK.”
For a moment, Ino got distracted from the tragedy of Naruto’s demise and was mesmerized by Kakashi’s face. Her face lightened up and quietly commented, “You know, Kakashi-sensei is quite attractive without his mask.”
Shikamaru smacked his hand against his forehead, he couldn’t believe at what he just heard from his teammate, “Geez, Ino.”
Kakashi gazed at Naruto’s lifeless body and he couldn’t help but remember a fond, but sad memory. He started telling the tale he so much wanted to tell Naruto for a long time, “Sixteen years ago, the Nine-Tailed Fox attacked Konoha. And as fate would have it, Naruto was born on that day. I remember being at his father’s side as Tsunade-sama gave the okay to enter the delivery room. It was the happiest day of his life.
”Kakashi sighed, “But while we were in the hospital, our village was being destroyed by the Fox. Happiness quickly turned into despair. The only hope for the village was the baby that was just born.” A tear could actually be seen in the Jounin’s eye, which indicated that the memory was sad, even for him,
“Naruto’s father got on his knees next to the bed and the Naruto was in his mothers arms. They were a family. But then she passed away.
Sakura lowered her head, “How sad.”
Kakashi continued, ”Naruto’s father approached me and requested that I look after Naruto and protect him until he was old enough. When Naruto became a Genin, the Sandaime decided that it was that I be the one to teach him the ways of the Shinobi and train him to be great like his father.”
He lowered his head once more,“The next thing I remember, his father disappeared with Naruto in his hands and had entered battle with the Fox. With all his might, he subdued the Nine-Tailed Fox and sacrificed himself by sealing it inside of Naruto.” As soon as Kakashi finished, everyone’s eyes grew wide from surprise.
Shikamaru replies, “The Yondaime? Naruto’s father?”
Kakashi had no choice to smile at Shikamaru’s reaction, “Uh huh.”
Kiba remarks, “No way. We had no idea.”
Kakashi explained, “Naruto’s family was kept secret to protect him. Only myself, the Sandaime, the Godaime, and Jiraya-sama knew the truth. It was determined that it was best if nobody knew that Naruto was the son of the Yondaime. Not only was it for Naruto’s sake, but the village’s as well.”
Sakura grew irate, “How could they do that to him? Why wasn’t he told who his family was?”
Kakashi felt bad, but they needed to know, “The Yondaime had many enemies. If they found out he had an heir, they would have sought after Naruto for revenge. Konoha was weak from the wars and at the hands of the Nine-Tailed Fox. We did not have the resources to protect him. So the Sandaime thought it was best to keep it a secret. When Naruto was to become of age, his past was to be revealed.”
Shikamaru noticed something was not right, “There’s more, isn’t there, Kakashi-Sensei?”
Kakashi nodded, “The villagers feared Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Fox itself and would not accept Naruto. And the Sandaime knew they would reject him to the point that Naruto would spite them. So he ordered that nobody was to talk about the Nine-Tailed Fox. And those who did were severely punished. But unfortunately, that didn’t work out entirely as planned.”
Shikamaru recalled his father’s rejection of Naruto when they were kids and his eyes widened,“Our parents…..”
“Precisely. Even with the orders, they kept Naruto isolated. Anger and sadness built up inside Naruto, and this is what was the Sandaime truly feared. If Naruto discovered the truth about his connection with the Nine-Tailed Fox and let it loose, he could have destroyed the village in an act of vengeance. So it was thought best to keep it a secret,” said Kakashi
Ino sighed and held her arm to her chest, “Poor guy.”
Neji remembered the words he said to Naruto during the Chuunin Exam Finals three years ago, “You could never understand what it is like to be burdened with a symbol. You could never rid yourself!” He finally understood why Naruto responded the way he did and the pain he went through.
Kakashi placed his hands on top of Naruto’s chest and begins performing Ninjutsu. Sakura immediately recognized the Jutsu, “Kakashi-sensei, you…”
Kakashi interrupts, “It’s okay, Sakura.”
Neji thought, “Could it be?”. Inquisitive of Kakashi’s Jutsu, he activates his Byakugan. It was confirmed, indeed was the same Jutsu that Chiyo from the Sand had performed on Gaara not too long ago.
The Jounin smirked once more, “Sakura, you know Naruto loves you.” The pink-haired Kunoichi tearfully nodded her head admitting her feelings for the blond shinobi. “You are important to him." Kakashi was now obviously endeavoring in saying his final words and knew his time was almost up, “Please, look after him for me. Help him to become a great Hokage.” He smirks at her one last time, “Oh, and don’t let him forget to eat his vegetables.”
Knowing what was about to happen, Sakura was unable to hold the reservoir of her tears back anymore, she nods her head in agreement, “Yes, Kakashi-Sensei.”
With his last words, Kakashi whispered to the heavens, ”Naruto reminds me of you, Obito. Thank you.” The glow of Jutsu slowly dissipated from his hands and then the glow was gone; the Tensei Jutsu was finally complete. Hatake Kakashi’s hands went still and his head was limp. The man known as the infamous Copy Ninja Kakashi was no longer among the living.
Shikamaru quickly reacted and caught the body before it fell over on its side. The cavern went silent; the only sounds that could be heard was the sound of water dripping into the puddles from the stalactites above. Sounds of sorrow then filled the cavern as the women began crying, and even some of the men. They all had just lost a mentor, friend, and hero.
A weak voice from the ground breaks the silence, “Sa….kur..a ….chan….” Kakashi’s sacrifice was not in vain, Naruto had been brought back from the underworld.
Sakura becomes overjoyed and her tears of sadness quickly became tears of joy, “Naruto! Naruto, you’re alive!” She does something she never had done, she had given Naruto a kiss on his lips and then proceeds to give him a hug that seemed like it would kill Naruto as fast as he was brought back!
Kiba barely had a straight face, he wipes away his tears as he trys to act tough, “Hey, look whose back,” .
Ino tearfully cheered, “Welcome back!”
Hinata gives off a bright smile and wipes away her own tears of joy as she gives off a cheerful giggle.
Sakura helps Naruto sit straight up and he looks around a bit confused as comrades cheered for him. They all were clearly happy to see him alive and well. Lee gave the “Nice Gai” Pose, Neji smirked as usual, the rest either smiled or wiped away tears. But somehow, Naruto knew something was not right. He turned his head to the right and noticed Shikamaru supporting Kakashi’s lifeless body, “Kakashi-sensei!?”
Sakura frowned as she explained to the newly revived blond shinobi, “He used Chiyo’s Jutsu to bring you back to life.”
Naruto was visibly upset. He remembered Chiyo and her sacrifice to bring back Gaara, and now Kakashi did the same by sacrificing himself. He was torn up inside at Kakashi’s sacrifice. Naruto mournfully asked, “He kept his word, didn’t he?”
Sakura quietly agreed, “He never let his comrades die.”
Though still weak, Naruto attempted to stand up by himself, but Sakura assisted him. He tore off some clothing and handed to Shikamaru who knew what Naruto wanted him to do with it and covered Kakashi’s face, as if a new mask had been put on, to honor the fallen shinobi.
Naruto began preying towards Kakashi, wishing him a safe journey to Heaven. The others followed suit. Naruto then calmly comments, “A fitting end for a true Shinobi.” He paused and tried his best to smile while filled with sorrow, “Thank you, Kakashi-sensei. Thank you for being there for us.”
The Eleven Konoha shinobi gathered up the fallen and injured and began their trip home to Konoha. This day was a bitter day for they all had lost people important to them, friends and mentors. But life goes on, another day soon begins. Now the Naruto and Sakura must fight a new battle alone, a battle of sorrow.
