A/N: This is a biography of Hatake Kakasi. Some are facts. Some are not. Some are based on manga. Some on anime. And some from imagination. Some are spoilers (hopefully, not…) Some are just not mine. They belong to the guy who made this anime. I just hope you like! Smile!
Summary: I am a 26 year old jounin from the Hidden Leaf Village. I am known to be the Copy Ninja because I have copied over a thousand jitsus. I am often mistaken to be the White Flash. I have been trained under the supervision of the fourth Hokage. My apprentices are the only son of the Yellow flash and the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan. I am now on a mission to save the very existence of the Hidden leaf Village. I am Hatake Kakashi and this is my story.
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
The Prologue
I rested my head on the coarse bark of the cherry blossom tree. I felt the cool breeze of zephyr blow on my face. The damp green Bermuda grass touched my weary hands. I could smell the cherry blossoms petals. The pale blue moon shined above the night sky. I could feel the toxin slowly poisoning my wounded body; but I couldn't feel my body at all.
And three meters away from me, I saw her; motionless and drenched in her own blood. Her long brown hair was being blown by the gentle night breeze. Just like thirteen years ago, I saw her die and I couldn't do anything but stare helplessly at her battered body.
I tried to hold back my tears but I couldn't. A tear rolled down my cheek. I closed my eyes and sighed.
They say before a person dies he sees his entire life before him. I made a deep sigh and tried to remember my childhood…
I don't really remember the face of my mother, but I could still hear her sweet voice. I remember her sweet lullaby that caresses me to sleep…
"Hush now my baby
Be still, love
Don't cry
Sleep as you're rocked
By the stream
Sleep and remember
My lullaby
So, I'll be with you
When you dream"
But that's all I remember of her; nothing more, nothing less. Thinking, I could hardly remember my father. The only thing that I can remember is "Konoha's White Fang"; that's what the other ninja's call him. Later on, when I was fifteen, I found out his name. It was Sakumo, Hatake Sakumo.
I was three then, I think. I arrived home like always. But, that day was different. The entire house was silent and motionless. I looked for my mother at every room in our house. Then, I came into my parents' room. There, to my surprise and angst, I saw my mother on the floor covered with blood with a sword in her throat and beside her was my father with another sword pierced through his heart.
A few years later, I found out what really happened. While on a crucial mission, my father chose to save his comrades' lives despite the fact that he would fail the mission. Many of the shinobu died because of the failed mission, and Oto-san came to be a disgraced in the village, even by those whom he had risked his life to save. He became depressed and at many times tried to commit suicide. But because of Oka-san, he promised to live. But mother was killed by some shinobi to avenge their loved ones death. When father saw her body, he went ballistic and stabbed himself…
I can vividly remember the scene of that fateful day.
"Run outside the house as quickly as you can if something happens to us." She always tells me that. I never understood why she said that. Maybe somehow she had a feeling that that day would come. And she was right; she was really right.
I obeyed what she said. When I reached the door, I saw him. He was the man whom my mother called Oni-chan. He had white hair and red markings on his face. He was older than my mother but not old. He had a silver head ornament on his forehead. Then, I ran to him and cried my heart out. He smile, hugged me and wiped my tears.
I knew that from this moment on my life would be different from what it was before…
