10 Hatake Sakumo

Even though it was an extremely lightweight, Yasaki could feel it sitting over his wound, as he pried his eyes open and blinked against the harsh light as his vision became less blurred.

"How are you feeling?" Minato asked, sitting next to his bed as he turned his head to look at Minato.

"I don't know, how am I supposed to feel after getting almost getting killed?" Yasaki asked deadpanned

"Is it a tricky question", Minato asked

Yasaki chuckled, "What Happened, I thought everyone would refuse to treat Hatake"

"I got Hokage sama involved in it"

"Ah, That explains"

"You technically died," Minato said

Yasaki smiled, "I didn't, Do you know who attacked?"

"A classmate of yours, Hyuuga Ko"

"Why?"

"Apparently, his parents died in the third war, He received the news of their death just a day before the graduation ceremony"

"..."

"He was sent on Intense therapy session and after that, his punishment will be decided by Clan Head Hyuga Hiashi and Hokage sama"

Minato explained as Yasaki looked down

"How long was I out for?" Yasaki asked taking a deep breath

"One full weak, they had to do a blood transfusion and you had to heal with the damage done by the Poisoned Kunai", Minato explained and Yasaki sighed gently and looked out the window.

"Your team is waiting outside for you if you want to meet them?" Minato said and laughed silently

"My... Team? Is there even someone who is willing to team with me?"

"Come in guys!" Minato shouted towards the door.

The door slid open and in popped Rin's head and then Obito trailing after her, and then Kakashi as he closed the door and Yasaki forcefully sat up.

"Rin I thought?" Yasaki questioned was interrupted midway as he was hugged by Rin who was crying at this point.

Yasaki smiled and gently caressed her head, "I am fine Rin and No, I didn't Die"

He watched Obito who was making strange faces, He was happy for Yasaki, even a fool could see that, But at the same time, he was angry at Yasaki.

Yasaki had an Amused smile on his face.

This guy is just jealous, It's no secret that Obito has a Huge Crush on Rin.

And his biggest Obstacle is his friend that he cares so much about... Hatake Yasaki.

Yasaki wanted to laugh at Obito's face.

"We will be called Team 7. After the Hokage saw Rin's excellent work with medical ninjutsu he put this team together so she could still do missions but still focus on her training as well. Sometimes it'll be the five of us and sometimes it'll be four of us." Kakashi explained as Yasaki listened seriously

Looking at Kakashi, Yasaki's eyes softened as a smile occurred on his face, "So? How did the Test go?"

XXXXXXXXX

"… and then I shot this big fireball but sensei dodged it and I fell off the tree branch and Rin launched the log attack you told us about but he just dodged it again so I shot another fireball but sensei used his Hiraishin and got behind us… That's when Kakashi jumped in and took sensei head-on and tried his new jutsu but sensei used Hiraishin again and also got behind Kakashi." Obito explained excitedly

"So, you still can't beat him Kakashi?" Yasaki smirked at his precious brother who just looked away with annoyance and Minato chuckled.

Yasai chuckled, "Where is Tou san, I didn't see him all this time"

"..."

Kakashi grumbled, "He didn't come"

!!!

"What?"

"Even when you were here for a week fighting for your life, he didn't come, not even once"

Yasaki shook, as he remembered the eyes of Sakumo that day.

"I even went to call him, but he just sent me out coldly, sitting all alone in a dark corner"

"what was the date that I was stabbed", Yasaki asked

"November first, why?", said Kakashi

Yasaki was shivering at this point, of all the days it could happen, It just had to be on November First.

He gritted his teeth, removed the blanket over him, and pulled out the Needles on his hand. Shocking everyone.

Minato frowned, "Where are you going?"

"Home"

"You aren't perfectly fine yet"

"Does not matter", He stood and after some stumbling, he took some steps forward

"Stay here", Minato ordered, holding Yasaki's wrists

Yasaki looked coldly at him, "Leave me"

"No, Sakumo san is a grown-up man, he can take care of himself, You are not his caretaker"

"JONIN NAMIKAZE MINATO, LEAVE ME", Yasaki yelled, and a white aura formed around his body, with Eyes that only scream one thing, 'I will kill you'

!!!

Minato let Yasaki go stunned by the amount of Killing Intent the boy was producing.

'He really would have attacked just now with the intention to kill me', thought Minato

Kakashi came in front of Yasaki stopping him from his track, "You almost died, you need rest"

"Kakashi, leave my way", said Yasaki coldly

"No"

"Kakashi, please. You don't understand what happened, I do. Please let me go"

"No", Kakashi said almost stubbornly, his older brother died in his arms, how could he let Yasaki go while he is not recovered.

"HATAKE KAKASHI, GET OUT OF MY WAY", The White Aura became even more fierce

Kakashi was at least immune to this as he stubbornly said, "Not till you are recovered, You almost die--

*Slap

Kakashi was back slapped by Yasaki, as he fell down to the side.

Kakashi looked at Yasaki shocked and wide eyes.

"Yasaki what are you doing?", Minato said frowning

Yasaki kept standing there and look at Kakashi coldly, "November first was my birthday, Kaa san died that day"

!!!!

Kakashi's eyes were wide opened, all this time, he didn't even know when Yasaki's birthday was, Neither why they never celebrated it.

"You never saw those eyes Kakashi, I did, He needs me, and I want to be there... I am sorry for slapping you"

As he took a step forward and disappeared from his position.

For the first time in his life, Kakashi felt like, he never knew anything about his family, For Years, Sakumo and Yasaki grieved, for years they argued and fight each other. And in all of this, Kakashi grew up, Life was tough at home, yes, But his family never stopped loving him, Both Sakumo and Yasaki took everything on themselves so that he could have a blissful life. Even though they were not successful, but at least, he didn't have to suffer like them.

Kakashi stood up and opened the door

"Where are you going", asked Rin

"He isn't fully recovered yet, He will surely fall again", Kakashi step outside

XXXXXXX

Yasaki took another step forward and appeared far away, He took steps after steps, as he was walking towards his home, and in just a few seconds, he was standing in front of Broken Hatake Mansion.

!!!

His mouth opened and closed and tears fall from his eyes.

The house was burned.

He opened the broken door and went inside, Sure enough, everything was black and burned in the darkened house.

He smelled the air, and from Kitchen, he could smell Sakumo.

He went inside, Sakumo was sitting in a dark corner, Drinking.

Near him was the pool of blood, as numerous Shinobis were dead.

Tears falling from his eyes, He knelt in front of him in the dried blood of the shinobis, "You shouldn't drink, old man", He said weakly

"..."

Sakumo didn't even recognize him he just kept on drinking Alcohol.

He caressed Sakumo's cheeks gently and put down the bottle in his hand.

"Tou san, I am alive"

Sakumo eyes shook, "Ya... saki?"

Yasaki chuckled with tears, "Yea"

He put Yasaki in the desperate hug. Yasaki could feel the wetness on him.

"You are here", He said weakly

"Yea, I will always be here for you"

Sakumo hugged him tighter

Yasaki fell unconscious right there and then.

XXXXXXX

(Next Day)

"Sir, These are the lists of Shinobis who tried to burn Hatake Sakumo with his house, Yesterday", A shinobi was kneeling in front of Hokage

"Have you found out who leaked about Sakumo's mission", Asked Hokage while Reading the list

"Yes sir, It was Elder Danzo sama", The Shinobi said

Hokage's jaws tightened, "Have you confirmed?"

"Yes, sir, we have confirmed it again and again, we are sure of it"

Hokage was gritting his teeth, as he released the massive Killing Intent, "Tell, Danzo that I want to meet him"

"Sir, he is in the meeting with Elder counci--

"RIGHT NOW"

"Yes Hokage sama"

...

When Yasaki opened his eyes once again, he was in Sakumo's Bed, the only place left that is not burned.

Kakashi was sleeping beside him, His little body didn't take much of a space.

Yasaki smiled and caressed his Kakashi's white hair.

He sat and the wet towel fall from his forehead.

"You are awake", Sakumo said smiling, as he came with the food with whatever left in the Kitchen

Yasaki smiled and nodded

"Here, eat something"

Yasaki looked at the food

"..."

"What is it"

"You overcooked it, the Rice turned into the white soup. Dad, You are so-

"Yes, I suck at cooking, you got a problem with that?", Sakumo's mouth twitched

"..."

"Now quietly eat it", Sakumo blow at the soup, and feed Yasaki

"I am speechless"

Sakumo smirked, "What? are you so shocked by its taste now?"

"..."

He said smiling, "That's why you don't judge a book by its cover"

"Yes, I learned something new today"

Sakumo smiled proudly

"I never knew there was a way to kill the natural flavor of food"

Tic mark appeared on Sakumo's head, "You brat, Shut up and eat", Sakumo said as he forced the whole bowl of.... white soup and forced the soup down Yasaki's mouth.

"Are you feeling any better?! Is it working?!"

'At this rate, You will be the one that will kill me…' Yasaki thought with a sweatdrop.

"Tou san"

"Yes?"

"Maybe in the future, you should think of leaving everything related to the food and taking care of someone to me..."

Sakumo's mouth twitched.

"No, you definitely should leave those things to me", Yasaki said as a matter of fact.

"You brat- Looks lik--

The conversation is interrupted when a Kunai came inside from the broken window.

Kakashi's eyes were opened at that moment.

Booommmm

The Entire room was destroyed, and Kakashi, Sakumo, and Yasaki were out of harm's way.

But Yasaki suddenly started coughing blood.

He was sick, and not fully recovered yet. He was not in the condition to fight.

Sakumo gritted his teeth. They can harm him, shame him, but they can never go after his son.

Kakashi was about to head out to find those guys, But cold Sakumo stopped him

"Kakashi, Take care of your Brother, I will be back in a few minutes"

"What are you--

*He was gone

XXXXXXX

"How do you explain the knowledge of the whole village of Sakumo's mission details ?" The 3rd was really angry with Danzo.

While he trusts that Danzo works for the good of the village, and while he gives him his Root group a lot of independence, it does not mean that he can tolerate harm to the people in the village.

Since he found that Danzo was behind all of this, He was furious.

"Hiruzen, you're too soft! A ninja is a tool. It's unforgivable to fail because of his own feelings."

"Let's relax and not lose it now. Isn't Sakumo alive? Why should we get angry!" one of the 2 advisers Koharu Utatane tried to calm Hiruzen down.

"I don't think that Danzo san did anything wrong. Actually, I think Sakumo san was wrong to give up his mission. Danzo san has made this matter open to the villagers and they have done nothing wrong." The words of the other advisor, Homura Mitokado were in the other direction.

"He is alive? They did nothing wrong?" the 3rd was really pissed off by the trio's attitude, "Don't you know what happened to his son and him, Alright then, Since he is 'at least' alive. You deal with him when he comes here"

"What?"

"Get out of my way", came the voice outside the gate

"The meeting is going in there, No one is allowed"

"I won't say again, Get out of my way"

"We wil--

The guards were quiet all of a sudden, and the door was kicked open.

With Sakumo carrying two shinobis on him, as the guards were having their head rolling on the floor.

Sakumo Hatake went in through the door and threw the Shinobis to the floor.

"You insolent Sakumo! How did you dare kill a Comrade!" Danzo said.

"Comrades?"

"Yes, They are Konoha Shinobis after all"

"Hoh? Do you even know the meaning of those words", He grabbed his Hitai-tai and threw it off to the floor

"Now they are not my comrade anymore right?"

"..."

He looked at Hokage, and pointed at Danzo, "He sent his people to kill my son, I am going to kill him, anyone who tries to stop me will die, Or I will die trying"

"Hatake Sakumo how dare you to talk about Killing an Elder, Have you forgotten your Position--

*Slap

Koharu Utatane, The Elder was thrown aside to the Hokage's table by the hard slap from Sakumo.

"You wanna say something?", Sakumo slowly looked at the Other elder, Homura Mitokado

He took a few steps back from the fear of the Killing Intent released by Sakumo.

Four ANBUS circled him when Sakumo tried to make his way towards Danzo Shimura

"One second one answer, Will you move"

They tighten their grip on their weapons.

White Chakra surrounded Sakumo, as he took a step forward.

!!!

Four heads were rolling on the ground simultaneously.

He killed everyone in that one second. No one even saw him attack. Or summon his sword for that matter.

With a Poof..!! of smoke, a short sword appeared on his hand, as he charged and cleave towards Danzo.

*Tink

His sword was forced to change direction, as Danzo's right hand was chopped right off by Sakumo.

His expression didn't change in the slightest after that action.

"Why did you stop me", Sakumo looked at Hokage who was standing there with his staff

"No matter what he did, He is Important to the village, He can not die"

"..."

Sakumo pointed at elders, "If they or anyone else try to harm my kids, I swear, I will kill everyone, No matter who"

He sheath his sword and started moving Outside.

"Will you not take it?", Hokage pointed towards Sakumo's headband

"Throw it, It's of no use anyway", Sakumo said coldly as he went outside but stopped midway

"If Elders does not stop attacking my kids, I swear that Hatake's will officially launch the rebellion on Konoha, Even if we might die, But I swear, Konoha won't be surviving in this war after we will be done"

"..."

"Good day to you Hokage sama", He finally was out

"Hiruzen, You can not let this traitor go, He even threatened to launch Rebellion, He is not trustworthy. You have to punish him"

Hokage jaw tighten, "I never interfere when people antagonized Sakumo and his family"

"..."

"Why Should I interfere now?", Danzo gritted his teeth.

"The Moment you went after Yasaki Hatake, You should have been prepared"

Danzo held his arm while gritting his teeth

"I will not even protect you. Other than keeping you alive, I will do nothing for you"

"..."

"Next time you went after his Brats, Remember, He might leave you Cripple for your life, And I, will not interfere"

"..."

"Everyone Dismiss, Someone, Get me the Situation on Iwa's front"

"Hai, Hokage sama"

XXXXXXX

"I don't want to be a Genin", Sick Yasaki said

Sakumo sighed, but he still asked, "Why?"

"No one can teach me anyway, I am a swordsman, and you are the only swordmaster in Konoha. Besides, I don't want to fight for these Ungrateful People"

Sakumo sighed again, "Alright"

"Really?"

Sakumo chuckled, "What? Did you expect me to say something else?"

"No, I just thought, I would have to argue with you, for you to accept my decision"

Sakumo laughed and hugged weak Yasaki, "I think we have done enough of the arguing"

Yasaki laughed weakly, "Yea"

"Whatever path you decide, as a father, I will be there, for and with you, So, take whatever path you want to", Said Sakumo

"I am Home", Kakashi came

"Kakashi", Yasaki went to hug Kakashi who merely sidestepped and dodged the Hug.

His stomach grumbled as Sakumo chuckled, "Go and wash your face, I will cook our lunch"

!!!

Kakashi looked at Yasaki, who was standing up, "You still not better?"

"I am at least good enough to cook", Yasaki said

Sakumo's mouth twitched, "You two brats, Go and sit, Today, I will show you my ultimate dish"

Yasaki and Kakashi's Body shook.

Today, The Hatake family tasted the food that could pass down as the newly made poison.
