It has been more than six months, but the anger and bitterness were still steaming hot. Minato noticed that Kakashi was taking it out on combat during their missions. He noticed that the silver-haired boy was unnecessarily rushing through non-combat D-rank missions. He was growing messy, and it was starting to affect the whole team. It was like he was trying to wake a sleeping tiger. On their previous mission, they were supposed to weed the gardens of the elderly couple at the top of the hill, but he nearly cut Obito in half with the new Jutsu that he hasn't fully mastered yet. There was this black slug in his gut that was sucking the life out of him, and he can feel it growing. It was much more difficult to maintain composure with such overpowering emotions constantly at bay.

The team has just finished their routine border patrol mission and were on their way back to the main gate. Minato was hopping through trees behind his students because the leader of the wolf pack is always in the back to keep watch. Obito and Rin were at the front, leading the way, with Kakashi right behind them. They've done a few laps outside the village, and they agreed that it's safe to assume the border is clear. There was this abrupt hunch that brought Kakashi to a halt. He reached for his late father's White Chakra Blade. There was an odd chakra presence... An intruder...

Their sensei probably got the same hunch and stopped next to him, gripping tightly on the signature weapon that earned him the title of Yellow Flash of the Leaf. He lowered himself in a defensive stance, calculating a route. They were so close to the gates.

"I got it from here!" Kakashi pulled the blade from its place and held an offence stance, "Obito! Rin! Go back to the gate and let the guards know!"

"Okay!" They both nodded and headed towards the village entrance,

"Kakashi-boy, we haven't figured out what the enemy is capable of. I must warn you about your new Jutsu. Avoid it if you're still not sure about it." His sensei warned, but he knew the boy wouldn't listen. Wouldn't hurt to try, right? He needs to learn about self-control. "I think Sakumo-san's blade will suffice, understood?"

"Yes, sensei." He muttered through gritted teeth as the foreign chakra presence grew stronger, "I'll go first."

"I have your back, my boy." Minato had always held back less when it comes to Kakashi. He guessed that the boy needed to let all the steam out as he honed his skills.

Several kunais were thrown around Kakashi's feet, causing him to backflip to avoid them. He was in his battle position with his father's blade held out. A small movement in the leaves of the tree behind him triggered his reflexes. He slid to his left and spun on his feet towards the first enemy, slicing the target on the wrist.

The enemy fell on his knees as he winced in pain, blood gushing out of his wrist. He was wearing a black ninja suit with no headband. Who knows where they came from?

Then comes another one from above, charging towards Kakashi with a kunai, but was counter-attacked by Sakumo's blade. He aimed for Kakashi's lower body but was counter-attacked again. Then the neck – counter attacked. The clanking went for what felt like hours when in actuality, was only two to three minutes.

Minato saw another shadow approaching his student, and threw his Flying Thunder God Kunai towards a tree nearby. Before the third enemy even reached the silver-haired boy, Minato was already in front of him, blocking the enemy's path. He grabbed the enemy by the arm and threw him upwards before slamming the unnamed ninja to the ground, causing an imprint on the soil – breaking the spine. One down.

A more muscular ninja burst from the trees behind, carrying a long sword with him.

His comrade behind him, and took ninja stars out of his back pocket.
