4 A broken fang, Jin Takayama
{Konohagakure, June 43 modern era.}
============
This day marks a period of one month, since Jin woke up for the first time, even though he went back to sleep in like 2 or 3 minutes.
For a whole month he only woke up twice for a very Short time.
And today,Jin woke up for the fourth time in his life.
Just for clarification that was 1 minute ago, which basically doesn't count as him awake, because he always Wastes that Minute to make all his jumbled senses and entangled thoughts run in order.
{ 1 minute and 20 seconds, since he woke up.}
' what...h.. Happening to me....' thought Jin with difficulty, 'still... The same.... I can't figure out where am I...!!' a fact is that till now Jin through his four times of chances taking control over his little body, couldn't gather any information,and still can't.
And that mostly due to him being a baby with weak not mature yet sense organs, even though he's 7 months old, which means his sense organs should be working fine, that if he was a normal baby, he won't have any problem with gathering information from his surrounding.
But the problem is his hyperactive brain, constantly trying to deal with his soul and the huge amount of memories brought with it, so the brain didn't get a chance to learn how to decode the load of information coming from his baby body's sense organs.
{ 1 minute and 50 seconds.}
'argh!!...ahhh!!!.... It's that pain again...!' these phenomena happened every time he woke up, the intensity is reducing by time, but still it's painful as hell, he literally can feel pain and his borders.
He feels like 70% of his body in a burning pain.
Well if Jin got a bit of clarity he will think of phantom pain it's just in his case, pain comes from the disharmony between his new body and soul, instead of an amputated limb.
{ 2 minutes and 5 Seconds.}
'mmm!!..... It's that Feeling Again....' thought jin when he started feeling this warm and safe sensation.... And the pain started to lessen, when he felt a shadow cover him, but he couldn't see clearly who is it or more like his brain can't process the optic signals coming through his eyes.
' it's the same feeling.... From the first and second time I woke up....' by now you probably, unlike jin, you already have an idea about this tender and Warm feeling Jin is getting.
Yep, his mother, who's now caressing his face and body with tears of happiness dropping from her eyes, like she did the first and second time he woke up.
When she saw his scrunched up face, taking that as a sign her baby is in pain. She doesn't know he woke up a third time before this time, for she wasn't near him, doing her job in the orphanage.
And because he never make any sounds when he's in pain, so no one knew he woke up a third time before this one.
Now why is Jin in love with this feeling he gets from his mother's caresses, even though he doesn't know what is the source or the cause of this feeling.
Well you would say because of the love conveyed in his mother's gentle touches, this could be a part of the reason behind his love for this feeling, which is the part he is not aware of.
But he knows very well the other part of the reason, it's his sense of touch the simplest of his senses, which so far his brain can handle, and the result of that, his brain can draw the borders of his new body and it sense range, end up making a distinction between his body and his Phantom body which is the source of his pain.
{ 2 minutes 45 seconds.}
' what is this!!!!' wondered Jin about the New Sensation.' this is new... It wasn't there the first three times i woke up..!'.
It was a new sensation for him, he didn't even know with which sense organ he's receiving this New Sensation, all he knows, that it has a rhythm to it.
In the room where Jin and his mother stay, you could hear the source of Jin's New Sensation.
It was his mother humming a lullaby Softly near his ears, with a smile on her face, which is now a lot better, with the Burns scars all healed up.
She was smiling, due to her child face going back to a Serene and relaxed expression, meaning he is no longer in pain.
Immersed Within her and her child little world, even though it's never lasted longer than several minutes every time.
But she was satisfied just knowing her child health is good and improving, especially when she was told, he will be getting his Consciousness back more and more.
{ 3 minutes and 41 seconds.}
' it's.... Getting.... Dark..... Again....' those was the last seconds of Jin, before going back to sleep for another week or two.
Putting her now asleep child in his cradle, turned heading out of the room to take care of the other children in the orphanage and see if there's something she could help with.
Just to see, Nonō Yakushi, or as they call her here in the orphanage, Mother.
Nonō the wandering Miko, with a gentle smile and a soft voice asked"Nari-san did he wake up again?" nodded Nari takayama gently with traces of a smile still on her face.
" wonderful, I can't wait to see him up and running full of life... Oh!! Did you find a suitable name for him yet!!?" asked Nonō after a little cheering for the poor mother.
Nari answered after a bit of hesitation"...Jin...Jin Takayama.." said Nari with a soft barely Audible Voice.
Even though she didn't take long for her to open up to Nonō, the head of the orphanage, she's still shy and introvert.
" the golden.... Great Mountain, what a great name, I hope he grows up to be one" said Nonō with genuine happiness and wishes.
"Thank you.." thanked Nari.
" no it's nothing, but more importantly I just finished preparing a better ointment for your face, just wanted to let you know, and I will be applying that for you this evening, since it needs the help of a medical ninjutsu to give better results" said Nonō.
Nari just bowed in gratitude, she's really thankful to this woman, she took good care of her and her baby, and never asked anything from her even though she's here to work as a caretaker too.
Nari really like this place even though it's an orphanage, it has this warm and safety feeling to it, even the other caretakers,Keiri-san and Kenpu-san are nice people too.
And it was all because of mother Nonō's influence on other people, with the gentle and cheerful Aura surrounding her and her love for helping others, granted her the nickname ' the wandering Miko'.
Nonō left the room after a quick check on Jin's health, brought a happy smile to both of the women's faces knowing The boy is doing great.

Training ground 13.
" okay Kakashi that's it for today..." said Minato, looking at the exhausted Kakashi on the floor,"haaah.... haaah...hai... Sensei!!" replied Kakashi while panting.
Although he already has the answer for what he's about to ask, he still asked in the end" Kakashi... Is there something on your mind bothering you?. you looked a bit Distracted today.." waited Minato for an answer, but to receive nothing.
He added" you know you can tell me anything I'm always here for you".
Hesitating for a bit more, whispered Kakashi" it's Dad...".
'sigh.. What should I say now!!?....'sighed Minato in his heart.
Trying to come up with something to cheer up his student, he heard him talking....
" I don't know what to do, I want the Dad I used to idolize back" said Kakashi with moist eyes, but he didn't stop, it was like a dam got punctured and the water did the rest," I no longer see the kind and loyal man the famous yet humble Shinobi" added Kakashi with tears already overflowing from his eyes.
"... And those scums he once called teammate,.... How... Could they turn back on him" continued Kakashi shouting" I want the father that used to take care of me not the other hand around, the one who would ask other kids to be my friends" stated Kakashi sobbing...." hahaha..... Even though that's guy kid is always loud and a bit annoying.... I'm okay with it.." sniffing" I just want my dad back...".
' being a chunin at 6.... I sometimes forget that he's a kid of 7 years too...sigh..' sighed Minato in his heart.
" look Kakashi, now we can only pray he will overcome his depression, let's just give him more time,... And you need to know that what your dad did may be considered wrong by the Shinobi rules, but what he did is something I'm willing to do even if I know I would be Dishonored and looked down upon, and I'm not the only one...." said Minato with sadness but firm belief.
============
Hokage office.
The third was on his chair, looking at his crystal ball, watching Minato and Kakashi.
" Sigh.. I'm starting to miss you, sakumo , the old you, the happy you, The Smiling you, the gone you!" Sighed the Hokage.
" just what's happening to the heroes of this Village, one of them became Missing Ninja, the other just Run Away and let everything behind her, and now another one lost in his depression..... Who's next!!?" muttered the third Hokage.
" I really feel like giving that idiot sakumo a beating right Now...sigh" sighed the third in frustration.
'sigh.. Sometimes the bravest thing someone can ever do, is continuing to live when he wants to die... Let's See How brave you are sakumo!?' thought the Third.
" hahaha... It's really good sometimes to have people like them around you" smiled the Third, when he saw Kushina who just arrived at the training field 13, trying to 'cheer' Kakashi with her special methods!, creating new holes in the floor along the way.
" sometimes you don't need a genius or a plan to cheer up someone, what you need is a simple pure soul who doesn't know how to be tactful in situations like this with good intentions" muttered the Hokage.

The Hatake Clan mansion.
Kakashi Hatake, the genius Young Ninja, who got promoted to the chunin rank at the age of 6, and the almost 8 years old Ninja by now is standing Soullessly with tear stained blank face, near his father the man he once idolized, who's now just a cold body.
"w.. Why...." ask Kakashi in Whispers," why would you do such... a Selfish.. thing.." More Tears kept coming from his eyes.
" what about me...." kneeled Kakashi beside his father's body...
==========
Sakumo Hatake funeral.
The White Fang of konoha is dead, this news swept konoha and the world like fire in a dead Forest.
Not long after the discovery of sakumo Hatake's body.
It was decided, sakumo Hatake the White Fang of konoha would be buried in konoha Cemetery and his name to be engraved with the heroes of konoha.
Putting a white rose on the grave whispered the third Hokage" I should have beat that courage out of you..... Sorry old friend....".
Even though he was famous enough to overshadow the legendary sannin, the day of his funeral it was almost like the funeral of a forgotten person.
Except the Hokage and some of his clan members and the clan heads Plus Kakashi and his sensei and Kushina, guy and his father duy, his classmates who belong to Shinobi Clans, his future teammate Rin Nohara, and the boy with goggles that keeps saying he will surpass him one day, Uchiha Obito.
Barely any civilians, Jiraiya unfortunately was absent.
And the irony of the matter is that unlike the lack of interest in his death from the village he bled for, his own enemies upon hearing that suicide is the cause of his death most of them got mad even sad.
It's like they saw themselves in the White Fang of konoha.
Will they end up like that forgotten or even commit suicide if the village they fought for Dishonored them.
And this event was a milestone in Kakashi's life that drove him to live strictly according to the Shinobi rules.

Konoha orphanage.
In the backyard of the orphanage, under the shadows of a tree, nari takayama was standing there, with the year and a half old Jin takayama in her arms.
Smiling with contentment seeing her child moves his head and eyes all around the place with curiosity within them.
The one and a half year old Jin already knows he's a baby again, he thought of reincarnation or Rebirth, honestly he doesn't know the difference between the two concepts.
The point is, he's a baby again.
And the woman carrying him should be his mother.
At first he thought she was just another orphanage caretaker, but Through Time he realized He was wrong.
Oh!! He came to know he was in an orphanage through the way the caretakers dress themselves, like a nun, even though it was a bit old-fashioned, he was sure when he saw all the different kids living in this place.
Outside of this limited area of the orphanage he knows next to nothing about the world.
Which keeps bugging him, he doesn't know if he's still in Earth or was reincarnated in a new planet or a new dimension.
Enjoying the field of flowers in the backyard of the orphanage Wondered Jin ' man.... How did I end up here.... Does this mean I died.. But how, I don't remember anything about dying...'.
Turning his head towards his mother' at least I end up as the child of a great mother..... That sometimes I almost can feel her love materialized.... Or maybe all babies could feel the love of their mothers like this...'.
Jin doesn't know that this woman who is his mother now, Nari takayama, a young lady of 19 years old with black hair reaching her waist, and kind brown eyes with a face left with shallow traces of scars, consider him as the source of light in her life and the courage that lets her keep on living, she only got him in her eyes.
He Experienced that overflowing love first hand through the gentle touches of her dainty hands, and the warm eyes that never looked at him with other than love.
And the sweet voice that keeps him away from the pain he's constantly in.
Especially now that he could stay awake for about a half an hour every 2 days.
' but I need to figured out the language here' thought Jin, while smiling towards his mother.
He started to get and understand the simple words, but not much because he didn't experience much of the world due to the short time he has when he's awake, and his weak body that prevents him from exploring on his own.
In fact Jin heard lot of conversations that's happened between the caretakers when he happened to be awake.
So he Heard words that could easily tell him where he is now, like' Hokage' ' Shinobi' ' Ninja' ' medical ninjutsu'....
But he doesn't know what they mean so he never paid attention to them.
'oh!... It's the person in charge here' thought Jin, when he saw mother Nonō coming their way.
She started talking with his mother, while looking at him smiling from time to time and even playing with him.
He couldn't understand what are they talking about.
But there is this thing about this woman every time he sees her or hear her name he got the feeling like he should know her from before especially when he hears her name.
' maybe I knew her in my last life'.
