BONDS • k. hatake

No big injuries were coming, yet.

We got many chakra depletion cases and small injuries that needed to be treated but nothing too big yet.

Then people just started to rush in, bodies coming in all bloodied and bruised.

I gasped before quickly getting to work.

------

I took a shaky breath as I took off my gloves and changing my bloodied clothes.

So many people died and I couldn't do anything.

"Dr. Hatake, the third division commander is requesting a medical ninja be sent there immediately." I turned to the nurse and nodded.

"I'll go. Tell dr. Haruno that she will be in charge in my absence." I said before grabbing some supplies and dashing off.

As I finally reached the battle field, I fought my way through the enemies.

My gunshots echoed throughout the forest area.

I got to the shinobi who were the most injured with internal injuries and chakra depletion.

I quickly healed them and bandages them before the next wave hit.

"Oh, Akiara. Thank kami." I turned around to see Guy, his beaten and battered form.

"Hey, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm alright. Kakashi on the other hand... he'll pull through until we transfer everyone into a safer zone, deeper into the forest." He said as he started helping people up and bringing them to where kakashi was.

When I spotted Kakashi, him sitting down with his hands wrapped around his wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

I rushed towards him and quickly bandaged him.

"Hey," he said, his voice tired and struggling. "W-What are you doing here?"

"Making sure you don't die idiotically before we get married." I laughed, my eyes spotted a sword.

"Is that.."

"Zabuza's. He got reanimated and we defeated him. There are others and more on the way." He breathed out. I sighed, finishing up the bandages and helping him out his clothes back on.

"How's your eye? Can you still activate and inactivate it?"

"Yes. Thank you for that, my chakra levels have raised due to that."

"Well, you should thank Itachi and Sasuke when they get here." I said quietly. He froze. "You didn't think Itachi wouldn't step in for his home, would you?"

He smiled.

"Not if it's the Itachi I knew all those years ago."

"8 years Kakashi, don't make me sound old." I teased. I backed up as I shifted to sit beside him.

"Thank you." He said, I looked over at him with furrowed brows.

"For what?"

"For making me happy." He smiled. "So my family heirloom is in my apartment, you'd probably find it but just in case you didn't, it's there so take it, if I di-"

"Hold it there, scarecrow. Are you implying that you're dying? Is there something I don't know?"

"No, it's just it's war. I lost everyone during times like these."

I sighed.

"You're not going to die, I'm not going to die. This war... its sucks but we will be fine. I promise."

--------

Days went by, and we were on the battlefield with everyone else.

"He's coming back!" I yelled as I saw the masked man coming back for kakashi.

I ran towards him pushing him out of the way and braced of impact.

Never felt it.

I opened my eyes and saw Itachi stopping him.

"Itachi.." I whispered before standing up and hugging him tightly.

"Akiara-chan, please don't cry." He said, I could practically hear his smile in his voice.

"Thank you, where's-"

"He'll be here soon. He's waiting for someone." I nodded, kakashi walked up to me and stared at Itachi.

"You seem Well."

"As do you." Itachi glared. "Have you finished hurting my best friend-"

"Guys, can we not? Spaghetti masked man is coming back." I said as I glared.

"Kira, ever the sarcastic little girl." My eyes widened and so did Kakashi's.

"Naruto. Now!" I yelled, needing to see if the plan worked and if it did, I needed to see if it was him.

His mask cracked and shattered.

Kurama stood behind us.

Kakashi stood beside me as Naruto, Gai and Itachi stood behind us.

"Obito nii-san."

----

I stepped towards him but I couldn't move.

Kakashis grip on me tightened as he stared at our friend.

"Kira, come give big brother a hug." He said cockily, a small whimper escaped my lips. Kakashi heard and pulled me closer to his chest.

"Don't be scared, it's me. The one who promised there weren't monsters in the forest. Come to Obito nii-san-"

"Enough," kakashi said roughly. "Why would you do this."

As they exchanged some words, I focused chakra and magic into my fist.

My eye glazed over as I walked over to Obito, he towered over me as I hung my head down low.

"do... do you know what you did to me..?" I whispered. "you bastard." I spat, my eyes glowing silver as I glared at him with my fist connecting with his stomach.

He flew back miles away.

"We mourned you, cried for you. And you come back to kill us all. You killed my best friend." I said as I walked closer to him, the others falling behind me.

"You made the man think it was his fault, you left me when I was nothing." I punched him again.

"Akiara, stop." I heard.

"You killed him, he was hurting!"

"Akiara, stop!"

"HE DESERVED IT." Obito yelled out, pushing me back. I stumbled back.

"He killed Rin, he's selfish, doesn't listen and is a stuck up rule follower. Friend killer Kakashi." He spat out, I glared at him.

"You don't know anything. He blamed himself, he blamed himself for years! Wakes up at night and can't go back to sleep because of you! The guilt you made him feel, the guilt of not being able to keep his promise to you!Naruto suffered because of you! Minato and Kushina couldn't see their only son, only child grow up because of you! Don't you see?! Everyone's problems are because of you and your ability to somehow ruin everything!"

"ENOUGH! I tried being nice to you, to get you to see my side but now I see you're nothing but a woman who is weak, a woman who fell in love with a murderer who doesn't deserve her, who cheated on her. A woman who wasn't strong enough to stand up to her rapists. You are the problem, if you die that's a guarantee win." He held me by my neck, choking me and as he got a jutsu ready to burn me alive I braced myself for it.

"Oh Obito, how far you have fallen."
