Ikeri POV
"Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Neji, Kiba five of them went after Sasuke together." Tsunade told me.
"From what I know, Sasuke most likely have met up with Orochimaru's underlings already. Knowing Orochimaru, Sasuke if very important to him so he wouldn't send some weaklings. In other words, they either come back dead or seriously hurt. I suggest we send someone to retrieve them. Sasuke is gone. He is not coming back, he is never coming back. He wouldn't come back until he succeeds and I won't let him succeed. Which means, Sasuke isn't ever coming back, so they're wasting their time and effort." I argued.
"I understand, I'll send the sand siblings to help them. With Naruto there, there's no doubt that they won't retreat."
"Tsunade." Jiraiya said appearing behind her.
"I'm requesting to bring Naruto out of the village for traning, for around three years. I'll make sure the Akatsuki doesn't get him. I'll train him to be strong, strong enough to defeat the Akatsuki." Jiraiya said proudly.
"It's not going to work." I said.
I immediately realised what I said and covered my mouth. The words just slipped out, I couldn't stop myself.
"What do you know?" Jiraiya came over looking at me suspiciously.
"Look. Since you're Tsunade's friend or something I'll assume your somewhat trustable." I said starting to tell him about me.
"An Uchiha?" Jiraiya mumbled under his breath after hearing my story.
"Yes. Tsunade, I'm too requesting for a three years leave. I'll be back, when the time is right." I said casually.
"And may I ask what is the reason for that?" Tsunade said looking over at me.
"To train myself and get stronger, so I'll be able to stop him."
"Where will you be training? And stop who? From doing what?" Jiraiya asked.
"Is that even a question? And I thought u were one of the legendary sannins. The akatsuki of course."
"And how do we know you'll return?" Jiraiya asked again.
I gave him a 'who knows' face.
"I trust her." Tsunade said. "Your leave is permitted."
"Thank you. I'll send you information on their plans to hunt for the nine tails as a thanks."
"To stop who? From doing what? You still haven't answered my questions."
"You are really stupid. To stop Sasuke from getting his revenge. Because if he does, my papa who saved his life will be killed by his hands. But no that isn't going to happen. Not as long as I exist." I said.
"When will you be leaving?" Jiraiya asked.
"Soon. You want to send me off or something?"
Jiraiya gave me a ew not interested face.
"It's good knowing you. When will you be back?" Tsunade asked.
"Most probably after the operation. I might not be back until I managed to stop him."
Tsunade gave a sad face but agreed anyways. "I'll send you off. So when?"
"You don't need to. I'll be gone by tomorrow. The village can know me as a rogue whatsoever, I don't care." I said, waving them goodbye as I left.
"Kakashi." I said as I entered the house.
"Ikeri? Welcome back." Kakashi said in his pink apron.
"You're not trying to cook are you?" I said almost laughing.
Kakashi looked away with a guilty face. "I was just trying to cook dinner."
"Come on, I'll teach you." I laughed before heading over to the kitchen to show him how it's done.
"I never told you my whole past have I?" I asked as I slowly placed the food onto a plate.
"No. The last time lord third told me but he missed out the details." Kakashi said.
I took a deep breath. "My father is Itachi Uchiha, you know him. For my past life, I've been living undercover. The only people that knew my existence was Big brother, Shisui and papa. Mama died giving birth to me. After the Uchiha massacre, I left konoha with papa. We joined to akatsuki, I stayed there until the night you found me. Before you found me I trained with the akatsuki. The genjutsu casted on you during the bell test was casted by me."
"Itachi..." Kakashi said planning to continue the sentence but was interrupted.
"He's innocent. It was Danzo, he made him to it. To let Sasuke live or have the whole clan killed."
"I-I had no idea... But why are you telling me this now...?" Kakashi said looking at me with a curious face.
"Because you deserve to know. I'm also taking this chance to tell you, that I'll be leaving." I said looking down.
I didn't dare to look him in the eye. He's been so nice to me from the start. I-I don't think I should be betraying him like that and running off.
"Going back to him?" He said with a slight pity on his face.
"Yeah. To stop Sasuke. He isn't getting his revenge. I'm not letting him." I said with a sure tone.
"Good luck with it. Make sure to come back alive." He said giving me a hug.
"Thank you. I will, I'll send you letters." I said as tears rolled down to my cheeks.
Kakashi stuffed some food in his mouth. "This is probably the best fried rice I've ever tasted in my life."
"Well. It is the only thing I can cook. Papa taught me. You know, he used to tell me stories about his missions and it always includes his heroic captain, you." I said stuffing food into my own mouth.
"He was a wonderful member." Kakashi said with a sad look hanging on his face.
"In any case, cheer up. Keep the rest of team 7 together until I come back with Sasuke. I'd bring him back even if he's dead. Get Naruto to train and get that beast inside him under his control so he can use it against the akatsuki. It shouldn't be long before they come for him. I'll try my best to stall them." I said, finishing my food.
"Okay." Kakashi said, sadness still hung on his face, refusing to let go.
Stay strong, Kakashi. It's all up to you now.
