Naruto Asks

5) how would you have cheated during the chunin exams: Man....well, if I did have to....I would've tried using a kekkei genkai...or.....UGH- my brain is hurting. I would create a strategy in my head that includes all members of my team to work together in getting answers from other people. It would all depend because me and my over thinking brain would have to know my own wits and power, as well as my other teammates.

How would you cheat in the first exam of the Chunin exams?

Kakashi remembered seeing your smile all the time, training day and night. He remembered every little detail about you; the way your kindness surrounded the area, or the way those soft e/c eyes would look at him.

And more specifically...the one night you told him your biggest secret.

But ever since he kept himself busy, both you and him stopped talking to each other for years. And for all he'd know, you were sent to a long term mission. He had no idea what it was.

It's been ten years that you've been gone. But finally, the day came to where you would return.

Konoha was waiting. Kakashi was waiting.

~*~

You walked calmly through the forest, a smile on your face. "I'm back." you whispered out loud, the crickets of the morning chirping away. The sun hadn't even risen up, so it was quite dark.

However, on the mission with a few ANBU, and word going around the Third Hokage was killed, you felt more awake than ever. The other ANBU had simply teleported into their homes, but you decided to walk through the forest and enjoy coming back.

Once you were at the gates, your eyes widened to see an old friend: Genma. With his senbon in his mouth, he glanced over at you, not even recognizing you. In fact, the redness on his cheek was noticeable even in the lamp light.

"Who are you?" he asked in a deep voice, walking closer to you. Smiling slightly at him, you crossed your arms. "You don't remember me? Y/n?" you asked. As soon as you said your name, Genma's eyes enlarged more than yours did.

"Y-You look different...and more mature." he mumbled, stepping aside. Shrugging in reply, your smile widened to show off more teeth. "I'll see you later, Genma." you said to him in a gentle voice, walking past him. "S-See you later." he said, watching you go through the gates.

Knocking politely on the door of the new Hokage's office, you waited for it to open. Two female voices rang through before the sturdy thing actually opened. A young, short-haired woman opened it, holding a small pink pig with a sweater on. "Are...you Tsunade?" you asked, watching her face freeze. Suddenly, she laughed, turning around.

"Tsunade is at her desk..." she told you, trying to stop her laughter. "G-Gomen..." she was saying while she breathed heavy. A another young-looking woman sat on a chair near the long desk; her breasts were quite large and her eyes reminded you of honey.

Her thin lips went to a frown, her hand going under her chin. "Who may you be?" she asked. "L/n Y/n. I work as an ANBU under the hokage. I've been gone for six years in order to investigate further upon Orochimaru, Akatsuki, and other high ranked criminals that were causing trouble." you told her, bowing down to your knee.

Humming softly, Tsunade nodded. "And your report?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Akatsuki are still well hidden, Orochimaru has barely slipped out of our hands these past years, but as for the other criminals....eighty percent of them have been exterminated." you told her, looking up at her with a serious expression.

"I want to see the other ANBU after they've had their rest. You're dismissed, Y/n." she told you, watching your muscular legs push the rest of your body up. "Um....before I leave, Hokage." you told her, "I need my keys." Shizune opened the door, smiling at you. "Follow me. I believe we'll have them in the safe keepings room."

~*~

The keys in your pocket chimed quietly in a muffled tone as you headed towards the cemetery. Before you wanted to even get any sleep, you wanted to see the Third Hokage's grave. It wasn't hard to spot, mainly because they kept the rotting bodies of hokages in a certain spot: the Fire of Konoha. Stepping up the cement steps, you stared at the graves of every brave Hokage.

A nearby white flower was beside it, which made you smile. "I'm sorry I did not come in time, Lord Hokage.." you told the stone, placing your hand on it. "My family and I thank you for everything you've done for us. Kept us sheltered, nurtured...I hope you're in a peaceful world now."

Kakashi was about to visit Rin and Obito, like he always did once and awhile to catch up with them, until he spotted a woman with h/l hair. He'd never seen her. "Excuse me, ma'am?" he'd called out, his curiosity getting the best of him.

When you turned around, a gasp came from her mouth. Hatake Kakashi, the person she'd least expect to be up at this time. "K-Kakashi?!" you asked, blinking multiple times at a fast pace.

When you turned around, Kakashi's cheeks under his navy blue mask became a light tint of pink. L/n Y/n, the person he least expect to be in the cemetery. "Y-Y/n?!" he asked in return.

Because both of them said it at the same time, you couldn't help but let out a giggle. Ruffling his fluffy gray hair he looked down. "Long time no see. You look different." he mumbled, glancing back up you. Nodding in agreement, you walked back down the steps.

"Thank you, I guess. Genma said so too, but in my opinion I feel like I haven't changed at all." you told him, standing a couple of feet away from him. "Were you visiting Rin and Obito like always?" you asked softly, his head bobbing up and down. "Mhm." he hummed, looking up at the sky as it changed color. Looking up at the sky with him, you smiled.

"We need to catch up today."

After grabbing some breakfast with him, Kakashi and strolled around Konoha side to side. It was weird to see him so happy; before you left he was "cold-hearted Kakashi". But now, here he was, a small creasing on his mask the state that he was smiling under the thin cloth.

"You started working with genin?" you asked, your eyebrows raising up from shock. He chuckled silently at your expression. "The third Hokage made me, but I suppose it helped me out in the end." Kakashi told you, looking down at you. Punching his arm in a friendly manner, you giggled. "I can tell, Kakashi." you told him.

Silence broke out between you two while each of you looked different ways. "S-So...where are your students now?" you asked. "Uzumaki Naruto left with Jiraiya Sensei for advanced training. Uchiha Sasuke...." Kakashi mumbled, only for you to nod, as if stating you knew already. "...and Haruno Sakura is with Tsunade to learn medical ninjutsu. How was your mission?" he asked.

A bittersweet smile replaced the other one on your face. "We lost two or three ANBU, and many of the battles were hard. After all, we were the bounty squad of the ANBU so these criminals weren't a joke. I heard you took down the Demon of the Mist with Team 7, so congratulations." you said to him.

For hours and hours you two hung out, acting like carefree teenagers as the sunset ended with the two of you sitting on the harbor of a large lake.

"Do you remember the night before you left?" Kakashi asked you smoothly, the wind blowing on the surface tension of the water. You nodded, the blush slowly coming back to your cheeks like they had done before.

"Y-Yeah...I do..."

~*~Ten Years ago~*~

Though he didn't mind Y/n, he was annoyed about one of the many things that Guy had: to much energy. Kakashi threw a kunai at his friend, who easily dodged it.

"Do you really think that's going to stop me? A simple kunai?!" you called out, giggling with a smirk. "Not really..." Kakashi hummed, watching the kunai hit a thin branch of a tree, which was right over her. It snapped sharply, landing right on top of Y/n to make her fall down.

In pure shock of herself lost in the spar, Y/n pouted, looking up at him while the leaves got all into your h/c hair and tickled any revealed skin on your body. He walked over to her with a serious expression, lending her a hand.

"And you call yourself an ANBU-" he said, scoffing dramatically. "Well, I heard my mission will be more than just cheap tricks. I'm going to miss this..." Y/n murmured, smiling a bit at him. Kakashi stared back at her, an awkward silence hitting the air. Coughing awkwardly, she looked down at the vibrant green gas. "And...there's something I want to tell you. In case I never come home again..."

Raising a gray eyebrow, Kakashi crossed his arms. "What about, Y/n?" he asked. Y/n's cheeks became a soft pink, smiling wider.

"I-I....I've kind of...always liked you. Since we were kids. But with...Rin...and her crush on you, I didn't want to ruin anything between you guys. I've liked you even though you were in your darkest times. And it's not because of your looks, it's that warm heart that I remember so long ago. Man, that sounds really cheesy am I-"

Before she could finish, lean but muscular arms wrapped around her body, pulling her close to his chest. "T-then come back when you're done..." Kakashi stuttered surprisingly, her eyes widening as she smiled.

Placing a innocent kiss on his cheek, the shorter/taller girl released the hug. "Then you better give me a proper welcome back," Y/n whispered before a puff of white smoke replaced your body. Alone on the training grounds, he grazed his finger where she had placed her lips.

~*~present~*~

Surrounded by complete darkness, you stood up. "I-I should really get going, I have to give my house a deep cleanse, considering how long I've been gone." Hearing the creaking of the wood as Kakashi stood up behind her.

While she turned around, her lips crashed into another pair of lips: Kakashi's. Taken back, it took her a second before she kissed back, placing her hands on his shoulders. It didn't take long before the attacking kiss ended, both of them beet red.

Staring into his black eyes, you purse your lips.

"Welcome back, L/n Y/n." Kakashi told you, the mask already over his mouth again.
