★ ! A- fter finally getting over rin's death
y/n would finally leave her house. but unfortunately, the lovely feeling of being okay started to fade.
the village was under attack and all shinobi were out trying to confine the 9 tailed beast. she sighed softly as she sat with itachi & his new baby brother. her mother was out on the field along with itachi's parents; leaving the small boy to care for the baby.
"what's his name again?" she asked, her mind had been everywhere just hoping her mother & sensei would be fine.
"sasuke." he told her, "are you okay, y/n?"
she nodded, making itachi give her a disbelieving look.
"are you not worried about your parents?" she asked, playing with the baby in itachi's arms. sasuke held onto her finger as he yawned, tired.
"a little, but we are uchiha's." he mumbled, watching sasuke slowly go to sleep while y/n sighed.
"uchiha's. not immortal." she mumbled to herself, looking up at the sky. so many stars & such a beautiful night- slowly ruined by the attack of some random demon.
she wondered where it even came from. how'd it get into the village?
after a long night of both babysitting- even though it was more itachi babysitting her by trying to occupy her mind- the shinobi's returned with some unfortunate news.
"minato's dead?" she asked, tilting her head softly. minato was like a father figure; always there to make sure she wasn't getting in so much trouble with obito.
"mhm." fugaku nodded, walking into his house and leaving the small girl alone. her mother & sensei had died in the same battle and he couldn't even spare her a sympathetic look?
she scoffed, going home to her house that now seemed... cold.
she laid in her mothers bed & all she could really do was cry throughout the entire night.
the next day, she didn't leave her house. she had enough food to make breakfast for herself & that's what she did. itachi came and visited her before & after academy to make sure the older girl was okay.
she heard a knock on her door, slightly surprised since itachi had homework. she slowly got up and opened the door only to see kakashi swaying softly; nervous.
"what?" she spat, not even bothering to move a little to let him in.
"i heard about the news." he mumbled, looking down before sighing. "i brought you some food."
"i don't want it." she hissed, closing her door which made kakashi sigh yet again. he stood, holding her favorite ramen for a few minutes before the door opened yet again.
y/n was on the verge of tears while she slowly moved to the side to let kakashi into her home. she knew if anyone understood the way she felt now, it would be him.
"what happens to us now?" she mumbled softly, breaking the awkward silence that encased the two while she ate for the second time of the day.
"i heard lord third is probably gonna put us in the anbu. we don't have a sensei & two of our team members are dead." he mumbled, watching as she played with a noodle before sighing.
"so that's it? we go into the anbu and get killed?" she asked, making kakashi softly shake his head.
"there's a chance we won't die. i'm sure it's just until we're old enough to have our own three man squads." he explained, making her scoff quietly to herself.
"so, death."

"why'd you become a shinobi?" itachi asked one day. they were sparring together, but the question caught her slightly off guard.
"hm? i'm not sure." she hummed, "guess to protect the village." she shrugged.
her & obito always had this outrageous dream; where he's the hokage & she's just his right hand.
"so... are you joining anbu?" he asked, making her nod hesitantly.
"i guess i have no other choice." she shrugged, "i start in a week. wish me luck?"
"good luck." the small boy nodded, "don't die on me, okay?"
"obviously! i wouldn't wanna die before seeing sasuke grow up."
"he's practically your brother at this point." itachi sweatdropped, seeing his only other friend run over.
"hello, i'm shisui." the boy nodded, holding a few kunai in his hand while he looked over at the older girl he vaguely recognized. "y/n, right?"
"mhm, nice to meet you." she nodded, "kunai practice already?"
"mhm. you have to meet with the hokage soon so i asked shisui to help me a little." itachi explained, making shisui nod.
"oh, fuck. i do meet with the hokage today." the girl remembered, her eyes widening. "i'm probably late!"
"you really need to work on time management..." itachi mumbled, making the girl scoff. she playfully poked his forehead which made him wince & shisui laugh.
"i'll see you. don't get in trouble." she mumbled, pulling his cheek while he nodded.
she arrived at the hokage's office the same time as kakashi, which made the older male scoff.
"you're both late." he hissed, making the two scramble & rant on about excuses. how y/n got lost on the path of life & how kakashi was helping an elderly lady with her bags. "enough."
the hokage sighed disappointingly, watching as the two stiffened and laughed nervously.
"i'm putting you two on the same anbu squad. you both know each others strengths and weaknesses." he mumbled, writing down paperwork.
"c'mon, i don't wanna work with kakashi anymore. can't you put me somewhere else?" she scoffed. she seriously thought this would be the one opportunity where she could remove kakashi from her life completely.
kakashi frowned softly. he saw this as an opportunity to make things right; show her he wasn't such an asshole anymore.
"no." lord third hissed, making her groan quietly to herself. "your first mission is tomorrow, get ready."
