What Happens Next?
By: ash2009
Chapter: 1
Something went terribly wrong today. One of the ninja teachers was hurt…badly. His three students were kneeling around him as his best friend Iruka looked down worriedly at him. His name was Kakashi. He had a long, angry looking cut on his cheek that went from the corner of his mouth to his ear lob. He was lying on his back gasping for air while holding one of his student's hands tightly. They were training in the training fields when it happened.
Flash BackIruka had just come from his class to watch his former students train. Naruto had practically begged him to come and see how much stronger he had gotten. Iruka thought of Naruto as a brother so he agreed.
"Promise you will come watch right when you get out of class!" yelled Naruto.
"I promise Naruto" chuckled Iruka.
True to his word Iruka came right when class let out. Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi were already there. Iruka smiled at what he saw. Sakura and Naruto were arguing again like they always did. Sasuke was quiet as he rolled his eyes at his two arguing teammates.
Iruka heard Sasuke mutter, "Losers."
Kakashi on the other hand was successfully ignoring all three of his students as he stood behind them reading Make-Out Paradise.
Iruka's pov'I'll have to ask Kakashi how he can ignore them when they're being so loud like that' I mused.
A minute later Naruto stopped arguing and yelled, "Iruka-sensei!"
I laughed as he lunched himself at me, hugging me tightly.
'He just noticed me,' I thought.
I looked up at the others and saw them all looking at us. Sasuke looked bored, like always, and Sakura looked embarrassed as she waved to me. Kakashi just looked at me with a blank face.
After Naruto let me go he said, "We waited for you! I didn't think you were going to come see me." Naruto pouted and crossed his arms over his chest.
I smiled and said, "Of corce I was coming."
Naruto then forgot about it as Kakashi announced, "Ok, let's get training now."
Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto then began trying to bring their sensei down. Kakashi would taunt them by reading his book, while blocking their attacks with one hand.
I took a seat under a giant, healthy tree to watch them all. Yes, Naruto had improved drastically. It made me proud when I saw them use the skills I tought them back at the academy.
That is when something terrible happened. A ninja came out of the bushes and attacked Naruto. I heard the mysterious ninja yell something about a fox. He threw a jujutsu at Naruto and he froze up. My heart was in my throat as Naruto started at it like a deer with a light shined on it.
'Move Naruto!!!' I screamed in my head. The jujutsu was turned into a ball of light and hit something. When it did I had to turn away because the light became too bright. When the light faded I looked back in a panic.
Naruto was not the one hit with the jujutsu…Kakashi was. He was lying on the ground on his back gasping for air, while Naruto was across the field just sitting up.
'Kakashi must have pushed Naruto out of the way. He took the hit for him.' I wasn't surprised. Kakashi treats them like his own kids. He would die for them. He has already promised to protect them. Even if he does not say it, everyone can tell he loves them.
I heard the ninja yell, "Why are you protecting that murdering fox!?!?"
Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and I ran over to Kakashi. When I looked back the ninja was gone.
Naruto fell to his knees and begged, "Please forgive me. This is all my fault!" He had tears running down his face, but he stopped crying as Kakashi reached up and wiped them away.
"Not your…fault," panted Kakashi. Naruto nodded and wiped away his evidence of crying.
Sasuke stayed quiet, but I could see he was worried. Kakashi was the only one who ever cared for him.
Sakura was holding her sensei's hand to try and comfort him.
End Of Flash BackKakashi cried out in pain and then passed out cold. I gasped as Kakashi was engulfed in light. His three students jumped away, and we all shielded our eyes. When the light faded, I looked back at my friend. I gasped in shock at the sight. Kakashi had turned into a six year old!
Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke fell over in surprise.
'What happens next? What am I supposed to do now?' I asked myself. 'I have three students in shock and a six year old Kakashi. He was enough trouble as a 21 year old!' I nearly screamed in panic.
Naruto was first to speak. "W-What happened to him?"
"I don't know," I answered as I gathered the tiny six-year-old up into my arms. I had to wrap his clothes around him because they were so big now. He curled up into my chest as Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke inched towards me to look.
"What are you going to do Sensei?" asked Sakura as she looked down at Kakashi's small, sleeping face.
"We have to take him to the Hokage," I stated. They all nodded and we set out to the Hokage's home.
Gai met up with us while we were walking through the market. "Who is the little one you're holding?" he asked.
I sighed and explained as we walked. "It's Kakashi. He was hit with a jujutsu I haven't seen before. He saved Naruto and was hit himself. We are going to the Hokage for answers," I explained.
Gai was shocked. "I'll come with you," he said.
It was a half hour walk from the market to the Hokage's house, but we made it at dark. By then we were all worried. Kakashi should have woken up by now.
We went to the Hokage's office; he was as surprised as we were at Kakashi's condition. I explained everything and told him what the mysterious ninja had said about protecting Naruto.
The Hokage's face wrinkled even more in thought as he took Kakashi from my arms. I didn't want to hand him over. He examined Kakashi and then cradled him in the crook of his arm gently.
"I know this jujutsu. It turns the victim into chibi. They will stay this small for a certain amount of time. I am unsure how long, but someone will have to watch and take care of him until that time. I guess the ninja wanted to kill Naruto because he has the fox spirit inside him. He must have thought Naruto would be defenseless at six years old and could kill him easily," said the old Hokage.
"I'll take care of him," I volunteered.
The old man nodded his head to me and then we looked at Kakashi. We saw him shift and his eyes fluttered open.
