How to be a Uzumaki

1. Blood red hair ✔️

Kakashi's pov

Much doesn't surprise me anymore. Being in the Anbu since young and currently a Jonin in my 20s. i have seen many things, but nothing quite like what i am facing at.

Uzumaki Koharu, cousin to Uzumaki Naruto was staring at me with her bright brown eyes. Her long red hair flowing softly behind her.

"You want me to play with you?" i answered. I was pretty sure that i did not look anywhere near a teddy bear. But this girl with red hair was asking me if i could play with her.

"Naruto's busy with his big plan.Besides everyone else avoids me except you and Sandaime."

"Fine then you want to play with my Kunai or shuriken?" i sighed giving up. This was not her first time asking me this. But Sandaime canceled all of my other missions, before assigning me to this one where i have to accompany her till evening. I swear he's doting on her too much.

"Kunai please ! "

I gave her a kunai to mess around with.While i stare at the blue sky of Konoha. I was monitoring her of course, as she throws the kunai and slashes falling leaves.

"Kakashi nii, look i found a nice bug! it's so pretty" Koharu held her hand out for me to touch it which i did. She then placed the bug at the nearest tree before running straight to me.

"Ne~ Kakashi-nii tell me a story pleaseee" She put the kunai that i lent her at my left arm and sat down beside me, kicking her feet into the air with excitement.

I stayed silent for a few minutes as i began recalling a old story that my dad had told me. The memory stings a little but it spills from my mouth anyways.

"Before Konoha existed, there were two tribes who were at war ......."

Evening arrived and i petted the little girl on my knee snoozing away, she is so young yet so brave. As Naruto's younger sister of sorts she deals with what he deals with, yet her smile never fades for long. I've seen her cursed at, beaten up , spat at and all she does is just to ignore then. Thankfully for Sandaime she didn't turn out to be like Naruto.

The sky grew darker as i lift her into a princess carry, swiftly arriving at her house. I knocked the door. A small blond kid stares at me angrily as he digests the image before him.

"What did you do to Koharu, dattebane?!" he tries to claw me but i dodge it and that woke Koharu up.

"Naruto don't hurt him, i just asked him to play with me today. Because you said that you were busy......" She stares at her cousin with puppy eyes.

Naruto calms down."Sorry dattebane, i misunderstood you. Thanks for playing with Ko "he scratches his head awkwardly.

I nod my head and wave goodbye to the Uzumakis and head to Sandaime to report my mission status.

*back in the house*

"Mou Naruto, now he won't play with me anymore " i pouted at Naruto.

"Sorry i didn't know that, come on don't make that face anymore. If i treat you to Ichiraku ramen will you forgive me?" my stomach growled at the offer.

"Fine i forgive you, can we have it together tomorrow night?"

"Sure! i'll be sure to free up some time" Naruto ruffled my hair, i growled playfully and swatted his hand away. My next destination was to our bedroom then the bathroom.

After taking a bath, Naruto helped me blow dry my hair. While he tugged gently at my hair. I shut my eyelids slowly, noticing this he took out the futons and set them down. Rolling to my futon, i snuggled under the covers.

"Goodnight Naruto".
