I'm Only Human

"I'm want to recruit Sasuke Uchiha into the Foundation," Danzo answered simply.

Naruto and Sakura looked at Sasuke with wide eyes who tightens his grip on Kakashi's vest. Sasuke was starting to get through his panic attack and now he looked confused and nervous. 'Me? Why would they want me? What am I going to do?' Sasuke questioned inwardly peeking around Kakashi's side.

"No," Kakashi immediately answered firmly leave no room for discussion. He could sense his students' heads looking up at him and the hand on his vest loosen slightly.

Danzo frowned at the answer and spoke calmly, "now Kakashi that boy has too much potential to be on some sort of genin team, it be more beneficial for the Leaf he would come with me now."

Kakashi narrowed his eye at how Danzo acts like Sasuke is nothing more than a tool for the village. "That boy has a name you know, it's Sasuke. He does have potential, but it would benefit no one if he trains under you." He responds with a hint of irritation.

"You have no say in this, Kakashi Hatake. The Uchiha's Sharingan is too important to wait on normally, so he is coming with us." Danzo replies walking closer to the Sensei and his students, looking at the raven-haired boy peeking behind Kakashi.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura could feel the old man's chakra grow as a warning to them to obey. Sasuke watches Sakura grabbed his right arm in the firm but comforting grip as she glares at Danzo but could still see her knees were shaking slightly. Then looks at Naruto when he noticed Naruto's right arm between him and Kakashi-sensei like another barrier that Danzo would have to go through to get him. Sasuke also watched as Naruto silently growled at Danzo with his left-hand white-knuckling Kakashi's vest too. This helped ease Sasuke frantic mind more, but when the students heard their Sensei chuckling, they looked up in confusion. Danzo also stopped and looked Kakashi in the eye wondering what was so funny.

"I have no say in the matter," Kakashi chuckled darkly but his chakra still remained low and calm. "You're wrong Danzo. I am the Sensei of Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno. As their Sensei I am the closest thing to a legal guardian that Sasuke and Naruto have, and Sakura too even if she still has a biological family." Kakashi informed before continuing, "and as their guardian, you will need my permission to enroll any of my students into the Foundation."

"You would waste the power of the Sharingan?" Danzo retorted slightly gritting his teeth.

"Sasuke is not the only one who possesses the Sharingan you and I both know that." Kakashi emphasized 'both' staring at Danzo. "Plus, I don't need the power of my Sharingan to get rid of you and your followers, I'm sure you remember that from last time." Kakashi he added with a serious tone.

Danzo tensed and scowled, "the Uchiha is coming with me understood, Hatake." He growled out.

"I said no." Kakashi stated firmly before adding, "not only did you try to enroll my student without my permission, but you also attacked and attempted to kidnap a fellow Leaf shinobi, which can be a serious crime if the Hokage hears about this. Yes, you would only be in jail for a day or two, but it could do horrific damage to your reputation as well as your clans." Kakashi threatened with a calm but dangerous tone.

"You will regret this Kakashi Hatake," Danzo growled venomously before leaving signaling the Root members to follow still dragging their unconscious teammates along.

Kakashi just made a soft snorting sound in reply watching the group faded into the tree line. He watched a good five minutes after their chakra and scent faded into the distance before turning to his students. "Their gone, is everyone alright?" He asked with concern.

"Yeah," Sasuke answered taking steady breaths.

"Yes Sensei," Sakura replies with a sigh of relief.
