Chapter one: the Hatake Sword

"Obito, Obito!" shouted a smiling, silver haired boy.

Off in the distance, a dark haired boy, sitting on a tree branch, looked up. "Hey Kakashi, what are you up too?"

"A lot, but I want to show you something," quickening his pace Kakashi ran to the Obito and pulled him down.

"Come on is this really necessary," the other boy whined as he got dragged along.

A short time later the two boys stopped out side of the home of the Hatake family. As soon as they entered Kakashi father's greeted them warmly. "Hello boys," he smiled slightly. Sakumo had never gotten over the death of his wife two years prier.

"Dad, I came to show Obito the sword," Kakashi said excitedly.

"In that case I'll come with you," he replied walking further into the house. Obito and Kakashi followed. "Now boys, what I am bout to show you has been passed down in the Hatake family for generations. Kakashi only found about the sword this morning," reaching on top of a shelf he took down a long, thin box. Then he withdrew a long silver sword.

"Now Kakashi, as you probably already know this but the sword is a Hatake legend. Kind of like your clan's Sharingan Obito. Only a member of the Hatake clan can use this to its fullest potential. But now back to the point. "

Kakashi and Obito exchanged puzzled looks.

"As the heir of the clan, I bestow this sword upon you Kakashi. For now you have become of age. There for you are now the heir of the clan," without another word, Sakumo put the sword away.

Before long, there was a knock at the door. His father got up and answered it, and then two ANBU members walked in. They murmured to one another and then Sakumo went to his room. When he emerged, he was in full ANBU gear with the mask on.

" I am very sorry Kakashi, but I have to go on a mission at once. Remember what I told you. Be safe Kakashi, oh, and you too Obito." Without looking back he followed the ANBU out the door.

Kakashi looked down at the floor, "Obito I don't have a good feeling about the mission he just took."
