NOVEL NEXT 15. Years [3]
[Kakashi P.O.V]
Five years passed since I and Naruto became a family, I'm happy with the current life I have, I wonder if Obito, Rin, Sensei, Sensei's wife and my parents are proud, seeing that I could be happy again?
I don't know about that but I'm happy doing missions every now and then, taking care of my cute otouto, however, I'm fearing about what is coming, recently, something big happened, an Elite Jounin from Kumogakure suddenly appeared with a Sharingan.
It made me remember of what happened with 'Ao', he had stolen a Byakugan in the middle of a war so there couldn't have any other war, just, someone did this in peace times and didn't stop there, Kumogakure mocked Konoha entire dignity, it made the Uchiha and Hyuuga Clans completely furious.
Old grudges surfaced and while the Third Hokage prefers peace, he knew it was impossible to avoid the war, if he didn't declare it, there is a high possibility of both Clans growing extremely unsatisfied - even enmity - towards the Village.
Personally, I prefer drawing enmity from both of them rather than starting a war, but... I know what the Third Hokage decision is, he's too old, even if he prefers peace, he won't be able to avoid it when both strongest Clans from Konoha are pressuring him.
Can't they just stay in peace so that I can continue taking care of my cute otouto and reading that great book peacefully? I guess I'll have to interfere, I don't want a war starting to put my family in danger, after all.
[Third Person P.O.V]
Two figures stood in front of Hiruzen, one of them had long, black-colored hair and distinct white-colored eyes with a barely visible iris while the other had short, brown-colored hair and onyx-colored eyes, these were the Hyuuga and Uchiha Patriachs, Hiyashi Hyuuga and Fugaku Uchiha.
Massaging his forehead, Hiruzen said ''You both know that I'm not able to do that, can't we solve this peacefully?''
''No! Kumogakure robbed the dignity of our Clans, not only our Clans but the entire Village!'' Hiashi, known to be fierce, wanted the war to happen, he wanted to avenge his Clansman and recover the Byakugan that was stolen.
Fugaku only nodded, it seems he agreed with what Hiashi just said.
Just then, someone knocked on the door as Hiruzen smiled slightly, as if his scapegoat had appeared ''You may enter.'' he said as a white-haired man entered the room.
Bowing slightly in the direction of Hiruzen, Kakashi said directly ''Hiashi Hyuuga, you talk about dignity, who are you to say anything about it when you enslave your own brother and his son and the entire Branch Family?''
Before Hiashi could refute him, he continued ''I know that you care about your daughters, Hinata Hyuuga, she's right now 8 years old, Hanabi Hyuuga, 4 years old, if the war starts, it would keep there for years, do you want your daughter to go to war just after graduating from the Ninja Academy? Both of us know how war is cruel to mere Genins without any real experience...''
''...'' Hiashi was silent, however, the white-haired man didn't seem to stop here ''Fugaku Uchiha, you know your oldest son's mind, don't you? He became a pacifist that would do anything for peace, this happened after you brought him to the war when he was only four years old, if it was any other weak-minded kid, they would go crazy because they're not used to war.''
''Sasuke Uchiha became friends with my adopted younger brother, Naruto Uzumaki, I got to know of his personality after he came to play and ''train'' with Naruto a few times, even though he doesn't show it, Sasuke objective and goal is to make his older brother and his parents proud, the boy would do anything to complete it, imagine if he went to war with that objective? He would be reckless and would die because of it...''
Kakashi said with a stoic expression, his true thoughts couldn't be seen 'By training with Naruto I mean challenging him every time and being beaten every time...' he thought funnily.
Fugaku had a hesitant expression on his face 'He's right...' he thought before he said towards Hiruzen ''I'll give up on war, Hokage-sama. I hope you can give compensation for it, I lost not only a Sharingan but also a member of my Clan, all Clansman are like family for me...''
''Our Hyuuga Clan also won't be wanting war anymore, I'll do this for the sake of my daughters and the Clan, as the Uchiha Clan Head said, we'll want compensation...'' Hiashi said before they both disappeared from the Hokage's Office, leaving only Kakashi.
Hiruzen sighed in relief at the war that was avoided, looking towards the white-haired man, he said ''Kakashi, thanks for helping here, I don't think that I would be able to avoid the war and maintain the Village peaceful if not for you!''
However, Kakashi replied something different from his expectations ''Hokage-sama, with all due respect, I didn't do this for the Village, I only did this because I don't want Naruto to experience the cruelty of war so early, now, I'll leave!''
Bowing slightly once again, Kakashi left.
Looking towards the sky, Hiruzen sighed 'I guess I'm not a good Hokage, after all. I failed you, Shodaime-sama, Nidaime-sama, above all, I failed you, Sakumo and Minato.' he thought dejectedly.
Meanwhile, at an unknown location, a certain snake-like man thought while licking his lips excitedly 'I wonder how the Uchiha and Hyuuga Clan Head are reaction to the news? Kukuku, being the ancestor of the Fourth Great Ninja World War feels incredibly nice...'
Unknown to Orochimaru is that he couldn't predict the actions of an older brother that wants to protect his younger brother from war, Kakashi ruined his plans of starting a war, he didn't expect the white-haired man to do so.
The strange and miraculous timeline had changed its path, nobody knew where it would lead others but one thing was sure, things had been changed, if the change was good or bad is still unknown.
