Passing Time

(1 year later - Kakashi, 7 years old)

3 year old Shisui walks onto the plateau and plops down beside Kakashi on the bench, who was watching the rain fall from the sky onto the garden outside. "Ne, Kashi?" 

"Hm?" 

"I was... Won-dar-ring why you have white hair while we all have black and bro-own." He asked, looking up at the white (It's silver!) haired boy that had a blue fan resting above his face.

"Ma, I'm only half Uchiha Shisui kun." he explained, chuckling softly while ruffling Shisui's curly hair.

"Really? Than do you have the Shar-ing-en?"

"Sharingan, Shisui, very close. And yes. Yes I do." he said, activating his eyes. Two tomoe in both eyes stared down at Shisui and the small boy shivered.  Kakashi unactivated his sharingans and sighed. Closing his fan, he placed a hand on Shisui's head, looking at him.

"Shisui, you are a very smart boy you know? So before the elders notice how smart you are, please. Enjoy your childhood?" and don't waste yours like I did mine.

Shisui tilted him head as if contemplating. He then grinned and nodded. "Un!" Kakashi smiled softly. "Good."

...

Fugaku sat across the boy and nodded. "You have done the Uchiha clan proud, graduating in merely 1 year. You may make a reasonable request."

Kakashi now had a habit of holding a fan in front of his face and his eyes bore into Fugaku. 

"... I want to request more training for Uchiha Obito, but only after he graduates, and for him to live with his grandmother under me and my fath- parents." he said after a minute of silence.

"Uchiha Obito...? Why would you want that?"

"... He's my little brother." he said in a clipped manner, looking over Fugaku's shoulder to avoid his hard gaze. "I adore him so. And he needs training. I don't want him to die so early in his shinobi career.".

Fugaku frowned. "Why only after he graduates?" Kakashi only stayed silent.

After a while he sighed in defeat.

"Accepted."

Kakashi gave him an eye smile from behind his blue fan.

After all, if Obito wasn't dead last, he wouldn't be able to get into Kakashi's team would he?

...

"... Aniki?"

"Hm?"

"Why... Are you so nice to me?" Obito asked, genuinely curious, while they were moving items to Kakashi's house.

Kakashi's step faltered a bit but he recovered and continued walking smoothly. "You are everything I can never be, Obito." he said simply, striding ahead.

"Huh what does that- Oi! Wait up!" Obito yelled, quickening his pace.

His grandmother smiled behind them.

...

Sakumo and Karasu welcomed them gladly in their household, happy that Kakashi was so fond of at least one person. His circle of friends was very small.

"The bathroom is over there and here is your bedroom! Kakashi's is right across the hallway and mine is beside his, your grandmothers beside yours." Sakumo finished, smiling. 

Obito grinned widely and with Kakashi in tow went to his newly assigned room. 

"Come on! Let's start decorating the Future Hokage's room!"

"Hai, hai."

...

(2 years later - Kakashi, 8 years old)

"EVERYONE GATHER AT THE UCHIHA MAIN HOUSE!" 

Kakashi swiftly pulled Shisui along, following his mother and Shisui's, who's name by the way, was Heiwa. Baby cries could be heard from the building and inwardly Kakashi froze slightly.

Was it already...?

He entered with the sea of clansmen and Fugaku stood expectantly in front. He coughed and held up something - a baby - and smirked.

"WE HAVE AN HEIR!" He roared and the crowd cheered along. "LET THE FEAST BEGIN!". Adults swarmed to both Fugaku and the food. Kakashi stood silently at the side. His father had gone on a mission so he was alone with Karasu.

Kakashi was never close to Karasu and so the atmosphere between them was rather awkward most of the time.

"... Kaa san." Kakashi tested on his tongue. The word was so foreign... "Kaa san, Kaa san... Kaa san." his lips quirked when he saw her blush. "... I never called you that in a long time." 

Karasu huffed and grumbled something about silver haired Hatakes. She then pursed her lips and suddenly ruffled his hair. "... Brat." she mumbled, bending down and hugging him. He stiffened and slowly sank into the embrace. "... Love you." she whispered and it was his turn to blush.

"D-Don't say stuff like that! It's embarrassing!" he growled, shark teeth barring. She gave a 'pft' with her fingers on her lips. He growled again and turned away, fanning himself furiously. But before he was out of hearing range he paused and drawled out.

"Love you too Kaa san."

Kakashi always got the last laugh.

...

"Aniki!"

"Kashi!"

Obito and Shisui then looked at eachother. "Who are you?!"

"Har?! I'm Uchiha Obito! Kakashi's sworn brother!" he proudly stated and looked over at Kakashi for confirmation. Kakashi just smiled fondly and nodded.

Shisui pouted at puffed out his chest. "I am Uchiha Shisui! And one day I'm gonna be one of Kakashi's sworn brothers too! Right?!" 

Kakashi's eyes widened a fraction and he gave an eye smile. "Of course Shisui chan."

"Yea see-! Wait, Shisui CHAN?!" he squawked, horrified. 

Obito started laughing at his face and soon one by one they were laughing.

"Ha- ha... Let's go see the baby now Aniki!" Obito suggested, pumping his fist into the air.  

Obito was taller than Kakashi so Kakashi couldn't really give his head a rub. So instead he gave his warmest smile. "Sure." Obito stiffened but shook his head and smiled.

"Let's go!"

...

Itachi was a cute baby with strange lines on his face, making him resemble a weasel with his round face.

"Awwwww." Obito cooed, as Itachi squealed, latching his tiny fingers on Obito's pinkie. Shisui stared silently as he looked at Itachi.

"He's so small..." he whispered in awe. "So... Precious?". Kakashi's eyes softened and he patted Shisui on the shoulder.

"That's how I felt about you too when I saw you."

He looked back down at Itachi. Kami help the Uchiha Clan.

...

Kakashi was sitting alone in one of the fields at the borders of Konohagakure with a shogi board in front of him. He picked up one of the pieces and looked at it, Shikamaru flashing through his mind.

I wonder how him and Naruto and doing...

"Playing by yourself?" a voice asked from the trees and Kakashi recognized it almost immediately. He opened his fan in front of his face and turned his gaze to the figure.

"... Nara san, what are you doing out here?"

Shikaku chuckled deeply and walked out from the shadows. "I could ask you the same thing."

"Ma, this is one of the more peaceful places in Konoha." he reasoned, fingers playing with the shogi piece in his hand. "Would you like to play a game? It would be an honor to someone as intellectual as you.".

Shikaku looked over at Kakashi with calculative eyes. "I've heard about you. They call you the Silver or Albino Uchiha. They said you were a prodigy... I guess they were right."

Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Ho...?"

Shikaku sat down across him, his dark eyes scanning the board.

"Let's begin, shall we?"

The click of wood resounded throughout the plane of grass.

...

(3 years later - Kakashi, 9 years old)

Kakashi stood outside the Academy expectantly, fan still in front of his face. Now he regularly wore a Yukata everywhere. 

"Aniki!" a familiar voice hollered.

Kakashi turned around to see Obito and Rin heading towards him, headbands proudly on their foreheads. "Otouto, Rin." he greeted, smiling. "Congratulations on becoming Genin."

Obito smirked proudly and Rin blushed. 

Kakashi could just see it. 

Team Minato. All alive and well.

A/N

Buuuut of course things won't go that smoothly sadly 'cause it's NARUTO. What other explanation do you need?

Cursing the existence of Math,
