The Missing Pieces(A Naruto Reader Insert)

Unexpected Turn of Events

You knew when Kakashi became the Hokage, but it's rather impressive to have him standing in front of you. He never mentioned that he had any intentions ofn leading the whole village.

It's strange that before you get to go to the Hokage, or Kazekage, they find you first. As you standing now in front of you, you can't help but study him. He still wears that mask that hides his face, and although years have passed, it seems that time has pardoned him. He hasn't aged at all. If you were to see his face-many say that he's very handsome-, it probably remains the same.

"Hey Kakashi." For an instant you wondered whether to use honorifics but seeing that he didn't seem to bother, you'll stick to his name.

The male nodded eying, studying you aswell. Why did people seemed to be surprised to see you? Had you really changed a lot during these past three years? It's normal to feel as if you hadn't changed. "So you returned."

"Sadly, not to stay. I'm getting my parents and taking then to the Sand Village. But it only seemed reasonable to let you know about my arrival." You had no responsibility of informing them but you knew better, after you willingly accepted Kabuto's help, they would have something against you.

"I understand, but why don't we talk?" Talk? Of course.

Once agreed, you all headed to his office where you'll talk about what happened during the three years.

However, only Kakashi and you were allowed to enter the office. Oddly enough, the Uchiha brothers were still waiting outside.

You took the seat that was offered. "Would you like something to drink?" Once you shook your head, he leaned forward. "I'm sorry, as a friend I would have skipped this procedure but as a leader it's my responsibility t-"

"I understand." Crossing your legs, you leaned back. "I'll skip over what you already know. All you have to know is that I had no choice but to do something, he was the only option I had. Perhaps to others, I may look as a tractor but I don't plan to die just yet.

Once again, he watched you with his only visible eye. "I know. But maybe you should have told us, you aren't alone."

Not again. "Listen," taking a long and deep breath you leaned forward. " I was filled with hate, but even so, you didn't have the cure. I did what I had, I don't expect you to understand. You have your own perspective, and I had mine." Now narrowing your eyes, a flame of anger sparkled your heart. "Maybe Kabuto is all that you all speak of, but even as the evil guy he is, he helped me, willingly." Your eyes widened in shock.

Did you just...Defended Kabuto? After the realization, you returned back to the chair. Your eyes looked at your hands before they settled on Kakashi again. Quite honestly if they think any less of you, you don't care. They can think whatever they can.

"Like I said, I understand. I am not here to judge you. I only wish to know what happened." By the way his eye expressed sadness, you can guess that what would follow isn't something we wanted to do.

"Kabuto restored my body to its healthy state. He also taught me other techniques."

His eye married in suspicion. " Techniques?"

"Yes, techniques. Which I am not going to talk about. However, you were interested in what was done to my body, then I'll tell you." It felt like exposing yourself but if they wish to know about it, then you'll tell him. "Just like you know, I can heal, instantly. With proper skill, I am able to manipulate different functions of my body." You paused, there's something that you don't like about your body. Drowning, you sighed. "In most of the restoring process, I fainted because of the pain." Kabuto, why did he do it? " While unconscious, he decided to add something."

Kakashi leaned back to be able to pay much more attention to what you were saying, it's apparent that you didn't like it. "Which is?"

"Regeration. I'm able to regenerate body parts. Fingers, hands, you name it." Of course, the heart and brain are the only  exceptions. 

"You don't seem very happy." He mentions.

"I don't, I have enough as it is." But you feel less human in a way.

"I see. In that case I won't ask more. We told you before, but I'll repeat it again. You are welcomed to stay as long as you wish."

"I know, thank you but I already have a home." Now you stood up, you smiled at him. "I'll get going, I want to see my parents."

For moment, he seemed to want to say something but it is not his place to say a thing. It would be best to just let you see things for yourself. "Go, I'll arrange a place for you to stay for the time being."

As you walked away, you weren't sure why he would say such a thing. You'll stay a few days, but you'll be staying with your parents. Now, you exited and without saying anything to anyone left to your parents house. You paused, right, things changed so you're unsure as to where they live. The brothers still followed, so you turned around. "Please lead the way."

Sasuke walked ahead, probably being the only one of the two to know the location. And withing five minutes, you were standing in front of a different house. It was newer and modern. You approached the door, your heart pounding as your knuckles knocked once. The window next to the door was covered by a curtain, but after a few minutes it was lifted.

Your father stood there, you could only see his wrinkled face and his hair which was beginning to turn white, rather early of his age. His eyes widened, he covered his gaping mouth. Those tired eyes began to cloud with tears, your heart began to ache with happiness.

You've longed for this moment. You began to cry even though the brothers were standing behind you, you didn't care. Your beating heart felt like it would explode from the happiness. His eyes then shifted to the two males and then back at you. For a moment he watched you, tears running down from the corners of his eyes. Then, he let go of the curtain, you were so eager to hug them. However, seconds then minutes paused.

The door remained closed and if you didn't know any better, you heard a click but not one of opening the door, it was an indication that the door was being locked.

Right then and there, your knees gave up on you and you can.e crumbling to the ground. You sat there, tears running freely down your cheeks, your heart skipped a beat in disappointed. What...Happened? Did he not recognize you?   But he did, otherwise he wouldn't have shown that much emotions.

What happened? You cried and cried, your fingertips touched the doorknob and twisted it. Sure enough, it was locked. It was pathetic, but you brought your knees up and buried your head on them. What did you do wrong? Why were they giving you their backs?

You haven't cried, not even after your body was mutilated but now the pain became so unbearable. What happened, the question repeated itself over and over and yet you found no answer. So instead, you cried until you felt no strength left to cry.

You rose to your feet, cleaned your eyes, glanced at the house one more time until you disappeared from the house.
