The work of fate

Ch 20 - attack of the mist

Kakashi POV—

"Go fish, i told Rin when she she asked for a 7, which i didn't have

but before she could even reach into the 'fishing pond' stack.
One of the Windows in the Living room shattered

"What the-?!" Kushina emidialy Got up and yelled, angered and shocked by the intrusion

'The mist..' i thought and it brought a distaste to my mouth.
I had hoped they wouldn't go to all the trouble and just give up seeing that Rin wasn't alone
"There she is grab her!" One of the Ninja having made his Way through the window yelled and pointed to Rin, who froze up in shock

No Way i was gonna let them get to Rin, i took my Tantō that i had sat by my chair and unshedded it

I Saw they guy by the window making signs
Ox-snake..-
My brain and body reacted faster than i could process.
The next sign was ram, it was a low class and very often used mist Technique
-hiding in mist Technique-

They were planning to take her in a smoke screen.

But i was gonna make sure their plans were foiled

I sliced him across the chest, the pain and shock did so that he didn't manage to finish off the ju-

'Huh?'

I was deeply confused when the room started to fill with a thick mist.

'But i stopped him!'

Before the room was completely covered i Saw the group still hiding out on the roof of the neighboor House.
'It was one of them that cast the jutsu, it must've been.
Gah! I'm such an idiot'

"Kakashi! Rin! Come to me!"

We quickly leaped to Kushina who we could barely see at this point..
We heard them slowly making their Way in.
We could hear when they stepped on the shattered glass on the floor

Suddenly i could hear metal tearing clearly through the air, they had made the first move!

"Wind Release: Shield of the Wind Count" Kushina yelled and waved her hand in a cicular motion in front of us.
Due to that the kunai they had thrown had bounced right off of her defense Wind styles jutsu.

"Urgh i just need to get to Minato's Office Down the Hall!" She whispered through the clenched teeth.

Third person POV-

Kakashi felt much more Secure having Kushina there with them.

'She is an expirienced jounin, and a jinchuuriki of the nine tails, clearly she must've been targeted before Obito did it in the future right?' Kakashi told himself to keep the rising stress Down.

He never felt like this during a battle.
...This drained..

He suspected that for the first time in years he was scared, because now he actually had something to loose.

-He didn't want Rin to get taken
-and he didn't want Obito to hate him If he couldn't keep his promise of protecting Rin..just like it had happened in the original timeline

"Kakashi focus!" Kushina demanded punching one of the charging Ninja in the face hard enough to knock him out
"you're a jounin!"

Those three words rebooted Kakashi's brain.
He was a jounin.
At the age of 13.
He was strong and exceptional!
He could protect Rin!

"Kushina! If there's anything in sensei's Office that Can Help then go! I'll keep it going Here!" Kakashi Said pushing a Ninja trying to kill him off of him
"Y-Yeah and I'll Help too!" Rin piped in.
She was not a fighter type but she refused to see her dear ones fight so hard just to protect her

"Rin you're the one they're After! You should Stay low!" Kakashi told her.

She wanted to argue put chose not to, the last thing Kakashi needed at his hands was an argument with her

"You two-" Kushina tried to reason as to Why she shouldn't leave the two of them.
Just like Obito she had never been one for abandonment.
But Kakashi cut her off, finishing off Another mist Ninja while doing so
"-we'll be fine! I'm a jounin!" He Said using her own logic against her

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Kushina had left and the fighting Got very intense, while having to Stay in the same place to protect Rin he couldn't see his enemies or how many there were.
But Kakashi Guessed it was about 12

But against that many ANBU level shinobi he was slowly getting overpowered, and was getting injured..

But suddenly!
Through the thick mist he could see flashed of yellow.

"Is that?-" he cut himself off, hearing the screams and Groans of the mist shinobi getting overpowered by..-
"Sensei.."

With relief Kakashi could Fall to his knees and adjust his eyes as the mist cleared out.
And sure enough there stood a very concerned Minato Namikaze.
And on the Ground was 15 dead or at least unconsious mist Ninja

'I counted wrong' Kakashi noted

"About time!" Kushina stood in the hallway that went to Minato's Office, and in her hand she was Holding one of Minato's marked kunai!

It was then that kakashi remembered-
-pour chakra into the seal and it will alert Minato, he'll come to the rescue-

"Are you all okay?! Rin, Kakashi? Kushina?.." he went over to his wife, worried by her light injuries
"We're fine Minato...we were lucky.."

"Actually i think-...medic please.." Kakashi pleaded instead of choosing a long and stoick speech

"Don't worry it's not too bad, i Can handle it for you.." Rin Said already pouring chakra into Kakashi's wounds to heal him.

"What happened? Was this because of-?" Minato questioned but chose not to finish, instead he just focused his gaze upon Kushina's stomach where the ninetails was sealed

"No, they wasn't After me...they were After Rin" Kushina Said and looked to Rin in concern, Minato did the same.
It worried him.

"Rin...are you alright?" He made sure to ask first, making sure she felt safe. If it had scared her mentaly. She wasn't one to hide her injuries which probably meant she had none

'Did they make sure not to hurt her?' Minato asked himself, fully knowing how suspucious it was for her not to have a single scratch

"I- i'm fine...just a bit shaken up" she stuttered, still not taking her eyes off of Kakashi's shoulder which she was currently healing

"Can you think of any reason they might have for targeting you?"

"No i have No idea..i'm so confused.." she Said and began to tear up

"Maybe now's not the right time to talk in through..do you wanna stay the Night now that you're parents are out of town?"

"Y-Yes please..."
