*It's been a few days since the last chapter, things in Konoha have stayed the same, it's still under construction, taking a bit longer since they've had to buy metals from Kumogakure, and those people were scamming them on the price, but it was for the good of Konoha, so they agreed to pay it. You've got people like Hiruzen who was talking with a doctor about some treatment to have some of his hair grow back, but more importantly, the star of the show, was spending time with his uncle Kakashi, even if it was very last minute. Naruto was waiting in the library for his new friend to arrive, but Kakashi came and flickered him to the other side of Konoha. Naruto looked up confused wondering why he suddenly had to leave.*

Naruto: Uncle Kakashi? Why did we have to leave the library?

Kakashi: I just thought you would like to spend time with me. Are you saying that you don't?

*Kakashi said with his closed eye smile, it was an excuse and a lie, but he had no choice but to lie to Naruto, since the boy was curious and would start asking questions. But Kakashi had his rules to follow, he had to make sure that Naruto and his sisters didn't meet, at least not until their older and could handle such a complex situation in their family life. Naruto without missing a beat and already forgetting about his time in the library smiled brightly at his uncle.*

Naruto: Of course I do! You're my second-favorite uncle!

Kakashi: That's good to... wait. Second? Who the hell is the first? And it better not be Itachi.

*Kakashi said as his smile disappeared into a scowl, since he can accept a lot of things, his best friend dying by being crushed by a boulder is fine. His father died due to the overwhelming shame and guilt he experienced after failing a crucial mission, ok. His Icha Icha Paradise collection was burned by Rin, because he didn't need it anymore now that he had her. It hurt. But Kakashi managed to live through it. But being beaten by Itachi? Yeah. No. Kakashi will not take that lying down, he would rather die than admit that emo boy is better than him. Naruto smiled as he said the name of the sleeper horse, the one that will always beat not Kakashi and Itachi.*

Naruto: No. Uncle Itachi is like the 3rd number 1 is uncle Ibiki

Kakashi: Ah. That makes sense. Well, as long as I'm higher than Itachi then I'm fine with it.

*Kakashi said in a little smug tone that he was number 2 while Itachi was just number 3, Kakashi hopes he chokes on that bronze medal. Naruto looked at his uncle Kakashi confused, It seemed that his two uncles were always fighting, always trying to one-up the other. His mother told Naruto that "it was just a pissing contest between two people sharing 1 brain cell." But Naruto didn't believe that, there had to be more to it than that.*

Naruto: Are Uncle Itachi and you fighting?

Kakashi: In a way. But not a bad way. It's more than he thinks he's a better boyfriend than I am.

*Kakashi said with an annoyed huff. He hates it that Rin and Izumi are such good friends, since it means that he has to socialize with Itachi, and he is always trying to show Kakashi up. Now in truth? Yeah. Itachi was doing that, nobody believes Kakashi since nobody would think that stoic Itachi could ever be so immature and petty. Naruto looked confused, since fighting for a relationship is stupid, they should just be enjoying being in the relationship.*

Naruto: Why does it matter who's the best? Shouldn't you care more about making Aunty Rin happy?

Kakashi: Yes. And I make Rin very happy.
