The Hidden Blossom

Chapter 2 - Decisions

Previously:

Glancing at her curious eyes I hesitate. I could tell her what the general mission was or I could tell her what I'm here for. After a couple minutes of debating it in my head, I finally decide on what I'm gonna tell her.

"I'm here because..."

-----------------------------------------------

Y/n's POV:

I watch Kashi wide wide eyes. All my life nobody put together who my parents were or at least told me who they were. For years I've been trying to figure out the truth about my parents but alas nobody ever said a single peep to me about anything. 

This makeshift team that came today just confirmed every piece of doubt I've ever had about my findings. Kashi just confirmed that I am the daughter of the Sasuke & Sakura Uchiha. 

Wait.....does that mean?

Shaking my head, I rid my thoughts & notice that Kashi was talking while I spaced out. He seemed to have just finish so I just sweatdrop with an awkward smile as he watches me. Racking my brain for a way to sound like I knew what he was talking about, nothing comes up so I just sigh & hang my head in defeat.

"I'm sorry, I kinda spaced out. Heh, would you mind repeating what you said?" I ask, cursing myself for being so careless. 

Kashi just chuckles lightly before ruffling my hair. I pout as he does, lightly pushing his hand away from my hair before fixing it. Before Kashi can even get a word out, two green blobs surround me causing me to freeze. 

Both men in the identical green jumpsuits stare at me with wide eyes, as if examining every inch of me. Uncomfortable, I begin to shift & cast my eyes over to Kashi. Pleading for help with my eyes he sighs before pulling the two green blobs away from me. 

With a sigh, I grab onto his pant leg tightly, watching the two men warily. The two look absolutely identical except for the younger one wearing an orange scarf around his neck. Other than that, the two have the exact same mannerisms. 

"Hi Takara I'm Guy sensei, well just Guy now, but either works! This is my former student, now Jonin, Rock Lee!" Guy exclaims, putting out a thumbs up with a smile.

Unsure, I smile politely even though it's entirely fake. I glance over to the other to find him already glancing at me. Being the nice person I am, I wave slightly to Lee only to get an aggressive wave back. 

He then turns to Guy with a wide smile before whispering, "She's so full of youth Guy Sensei!"

Guy gasps before suddenly charging my way with his arms out. Expecting this, I body flicker last moment to behind Chojuro & watch as Guy faceplants into the ground. I let out a laugh as I watch the scene but quickly stop as I see everyone watching me. 

"What?" I ask before screaming, "IS THERE A BUG ON ME?! CHOJURO GET IT OFF MEEEE!" 

All the men sweatdrop at me as I swat my entire body, trying to get whatever fiend is on me. Realizing that there was nothing, I turn back to the boys with a red face of embarrassment. Coughing into my hand, I gaze away from them as they continue to stare. 

"Takara when did you learn to body flicker? You never told me you learned that," Chojuro asks shocked.

Oh fudge. 

"I, uhm...learned...it from a book?" I question, grimacing at the scene I caused. 

"You learned one of the Uchiha members technique...from a book?" Kashi asks, suspicion clear in his voice. 

"Well I did actually learn it from an Uchiha, just not....one that's alive," I say, muttering the last part.

The whole room goes silent. Nervous, I start picking at my sweater paws while biting the inside of my cheek hard. The men seem to have a silent conversation somehow so I sneakily decide to go back to my comfort in the mountain of pillows. 

Snuggling deep into them, I gaze at the men before letting my thoughts run wild. Before I can even do that, a cold breeze appears at my side making me sigh. 

Why does he always have the worst timing?

"Heeeyyy little Uchiha. How does it feel to finally have all your doubts answered? Awesome right?" He pauses for a second, "You okay there shortie? Oh, OH KAKASHI'S HERE!"

"Will you please shut your trap?!" I snap, turning to the one & only Shisui Uchiha. 

He puts his hands up, only for them to go through the mount of pillows. Sighing, I put my hand to my head & really try to contemplate how I'm even related to this man child. Ever since the death of my team, I've been able to see & speak with the dead. 

It's weird how one death can lead to something so...extraordinary. I remember Hiroshi telling us about how he'd see & talk to his grandma everyday, yet she died years ago. Now looking back, it makes sense that I suddenly gained these powers once he died but the question is why?

Kakashi's POV: 

How the heck does a 10 year old even become that advanced in a clan's jutsu they just now learned about? Muttering all the possibilities, I catch a glimpse of Takara's horrified face. She then begins to fidget in place nervously, just like Sakura, before climbing into the mountain of pillows. 

Smiling softly, I turn to the other men in the room with a sigh. I guess it's time to make a decision. Tell them my true reason for coming here or just go along with the 'normal' plan. Thinking for a couple of seconds, I decide to just say the true intent here. 

"Okay, I need to come clean to you all. I had a different mission from the Hokage then what the whole group originally had. My mission was to see if Takara really was my granddaughter that went missing & we confirmed that. However, what I didn't tell you all was that I was assigned to help her train with the sharingan if she had awoken it. Guessing from her stunt earlier, it's possible she already has," I take a deep breath before adding, "So I will not be coming back to the village with Takara until she is fully trained & mentally ready."

The men stay quiet for a bit, contemplating all the information I just told then. I know that Chojuro was vaguely aware of my true mission but I know for a fact that Lee & Guy weren't. I soon feel a hand on my shoulder making me look up to see Guy smiling softly. 

"I understand Kakashi. Stay & get to know your granddaughter. As for the Hokage, we'll handle the whole 'not coming back yet' part. You just make sure that you take good care of her, she's the new hope for Konoha & Kirigakure."

Before Guy & Lee could walk out of the door, I grab Guy's shoulder before giving him a light pat on the back. I lean forward & pull the two closer to me before whispering, 

"Don't tell Sasuke or Sakura about Takara yet. I know for a fact that Sakura will not be able to handle that right now with the amount of stress she has with Sasuke being gone & work, understand?" 

Letting go, the two nod simultaneously before tears begin to stream down there faces.

"We won't let you down Kakashi! Right Lee?" 

"Right Guy Sensei!"

The two give there last goodbye before disappearing from my sight. With a sigh, I turn back around to hear faint whispers coming from the mountain of pillows. Walking over, I sit on the edge of the couch to find Takara whispering to something in there as if there was a person with her.

"Takara? Can I talk to you for a moment?"

------------------------------------------

A/n: Ooooo what will Kakashi be discussing with Takara? Anyhow, thank you all for reading & can't wait to see you all in the next chapter!

Also sorry the chapter was shorter, expect most chapters to be like this but I don't really fully know myself just how long each will be. Thanks for the patience everyone!
