(Chapter 12) Training, also snowballing love effect lol

Hey! Great to see you join us in the 12thhhh chapterrr :DD! Enjoy :)

*Minato's POV*

I called Kakashi and told him to head to the Senju base now, and to be prepared. Now, it was time for him to prove his skills, and show Lord 2nd what I have taught him. I was slightly excited myself.

I went downstairs and went outside to where Lord 1st and Lord 2nd were talking to each other.

"Hey, just let him know. He's on his way." I said reassuringly, to Lord 2nd.

"Would you like to watch?" He said invitingly. I was going to anyways.

"Of course, I don't mind. But, I'll be inside till Kakashi comes." I replied honestly.

He responded by turning around and continuing his conversation with his elder brother. I closed the shoji door, and played with Naruto in the living room. I never really realized till the good time I sat down waiting 20 minutes for Kakashi, how much my son truly had grown. It had been more than enough time by now, he was like the child of prophecy, as Jiraiya Sensei liked to call it. Now that I also thought about it, it had truly been a long time sense I talked to my Sensei. I wonder how he had been..

I played with my son for a few more minutes til I heard the doorbell ring. He was here.

I opened the door and greet him. "Heyy Kakashi, how have you been?" I said letting him inside, but he didn't come in. He looked a bit worried, at that.

"Umm Sensei, do you think it's possible-"

"Heyyyy! Looks like he's here!" Lord 1st interrupted. "Don't be shy, come on in!"

Kakashi looked worriedly at me, and then back at the 1st. I then looked at him.

"What seems to be the problem, Kakashi?" I asked him worried.

"I- sensei..." He said whispering. "I don't think I could come today...thing is, I promised Itachi I could do some training with him today, and it wasn't until after you had called me, he had reminded me of that- he's like- down the road..."

"I- Woah woah woah," I said cutting him off. "You brang Itachi with you?!"

"No! No, I didn't tell him he could come, I just came to tell you I don't think I can train with the 2nd hokage today." He said looking down.

I sighed. "Kakashi, this is probably a once-in-your-lifetime opportunity that you're just going to so carelessly turn down simply because you promised someone something? Can you guy not continue tomorrow?"

"Not possible, to be quite honest with you Sensei, he's barely free, and he barely gets days off, as he is the son directly under the Leaf's Lieutenant. Unlike me who gets days off at least once a week or twice while being in the Anbu, he is the leader and he gets almost none."

I just looked at him in disbelief and sighed.

"Not to be nosy here, but I heard everything..." Lord 1st said quite disappointed. "But...if you'd like..well if ITACHI would like, he could come here and train too..?"

I froze at the offer. For a second, I doubted if the 1st hokage had forgot he had a brother. If he forgot he had a brother, who agreed only to training Kakashi. I don't know how he would react to seeing Itachi too after literally telling me that same day he did NOT want to train Itachi.
