The Masked Jounin ~A Kakashi x Reader~

Chapter Fifty Nine

"You gotta be quicker than that if you wanna hit me, Uchiha!" You yelled at Sasuke, dodging the kunai he threw your way.

You ninja rolled on the floor, grabbing anything you could to defend yourself.

Why you didn't reach for your weapons? I don't know, maybe cause you wanted the satisfaction of beating the Uchiha boy with something as simple as a rock.

As soon as you got to your feet you whipped around, chunking the rock straight at Sasuke's face, his eyes widening in fear as it flew closer to him at a pace even he couldn't dodge.

But just as quick as it came, it was kicked away.

You looked stunned as you saw the rock fly away into the trees, never to be seen again. You turned to look at Sasuke, his eyes still wide with fear as a foot hovered just inches before his nose.

You looked up at the owner of that leg, they're arms up in a fighting position as they're body leaned back to support the leg frozen in the air.

Her long blonde braids hitting the floor as she leaned, and her chest pulling up and down as she panted, you guess from having to run so fast to kick the rock out of the Uchiha's way.

"Old Lady Tsunade! What the heck are you doing here??" Naruto bellowed, interrupting the silence that was lingering in the air.

Tsunade stood up straight, straightening out her robe and clearing her throat.

"Now Naruto, is that anyway to talk to your Hokage?" Kakashi asked. "Show some respect."

We all got quiet again as our focus, including Lady Tsunade's, was directed towards Kakashi.

Sudden laughter erupted in the air, well besides sasuke who just merely chuckled.

"Hahahahahaha!! Naruto?? Being respectful?? Good one Kakashi Sensei!" Sakura cried out as she laughed. Naruto was laughing too, nervously, because he didn't understand what was so funny.

"Hah! Heh..yeah good one kakash- HEY!" He yelled in sudden realization. "I'm always respectful what the hell do you mean?!"

Of course laughter erupted again.

"Hahaha.. oh as much as you know I enjoy a good laugh, now is no time for jokes." Lady Tsunade said as she stood up straighter.
"I have received word from one of our jounins that they have spotted a man wearing an orange mask.. -twisted one, much like the one Obito wore the day of the attack trying to retrieve (y/n)."

She stopped talking and landed her eyes on you.

"As far as we know, he was spotted leaving the village. We don't know how long he was here for, and considering since you're still here and not with him, we can only assume he wasn't here for you."

You stared at her, a blank look on your face. You didn't know whether to stay mad or be calm. But either way you didn't show any emotion, just a blank stare of nothingness.

Then, something caught your eye.

Movement of a finger. An index tapping ever so slightly against a thumb. A sure sign of nervousness in a person that some might miss if you didn't know about the little ticks they had instead of showing any sign of emotion.

But you knew that tick, that same tick that belonged to your former best friend of many years. The question, though, doesn't lie in who the tick belongs to. It basically lies in; What the fuck is Sasuke Uchiha hiding, because he rarely gets nervous, and when he does it means he's hiding something. Something big.

And you were gonna make damn sure that you found out what it was.

But for now, you have to deal with the lady in front of you. She's expecting a response of some sort, and it doesn't look good that you aren't reacting to the news of Obito being back in the village his group kidnapped you from.

"With all due respect Lady Tsunade, just because I'm still here doesn't mean he wasn't here for me, " you started, straightening your back and strengthening your voice, "because I witnessed first hand just how strategic Obito can be."

A look of confusion fell upon the faces of everyone there, with the exception of Sasuke who instead tapped his fingers slightly more vigorously.

"When the Akatsuki saw just how strong my jistu was, Konan tried convincing me to join them. So of course when I refused she did everything in her power to persuade me into believing that no one here wanted to find me, no one wanted me home, and no one here loved me. This all happened minutes after I was raped by Obito so I was already in a such a traumatic state of mind that her words got the better of me. I guess the stress and trauma were almost too much for baby gigi to handle because I dropped to my knees wallowing in pain.. a pain piercing my stomach and blood spotting from in between my legs.. that's when they found out I was pregnant.. Obito had already found out at that point so he raped me and told them it wasn't the first time he did and that Gisei was his so they wouldn't kill me or the baby.."

The look on everyone's face was enough for you to stop going into detail about what happened and get straight to the point. Even Sasuke showed a look of remorse.

"So my point is, Obito knew what he was doing then. He implemented a plan to save my life in just a matter of days."

"So who knows what he can strategize when there is no time limit and so far no one to catch him." Kakashi stated, his voice low and his stance firm. As if Obito was standing in front of him right now about to start a fight.

"Exactly." You said with a smile creeping across your face causing the others to grow expressions of perplexity. "Now he may or may not know that he was spotted. That we can't determine, but what we do know is sometimes he is here. That is all the information we need."

Again, expressions of perplexity.

"He could be looking for anything. Maybe the rumors of us being alive got back to him and he was trying to see for himself if it were true. Or maybe he knew this entire time and he's trying to memorize our schedule for the next kidnapping attempt they might try. The possibilities are endless.

"But he will be back, and this time, we will be ready."

"And what exactly do you mean by that, (y/n)?" Lady Tsunade asked, furrowing her brow and crossing her arms across her overly large but flattering chest.

"I mean, Lady Hokage," you start to say as you lock eyes with your Sensei, "I think it is time that I put the baby bottles down and pick up a kunai or two."

"(Y/n) no-" Kakashi intervined.

"(Y/n) yes!" You exclaimed, cutting him off. You adverted your attention away from your lover and locked eyes with Sasuke, a feeling of him having something to do with all of this that you just couldn't shake.

"It's time for all of Konaha to prepare for this battle. And its time for me to get my flame under control."
