No Matter What (KakashixReader)

Half - Blood

"Sesnei?" A small voice called lightly shaking me awake, I opened one eye and saw Naruto leaned over me, it was still kinda dark outside when I looked out the living room window. And it was kinda chilly in here, the fire had died out not long ago.

"Naruto? What's wrong?" I asked slowly sitting up, my own breath visible.

"It's really cold and I don't know where to get more firewood." He was tightly holding on to his arms as he shivered.

"Sorry, it's out back, hang on and I'll go with you." I slid out of bed, careful not to wake Kakashi or the others and slipped on my shoes. I lead Naruto to the backdoor and opened it, we each grabbed an armful of wood and brought it back inside, closing the door behind us. We piled some wood in the fireplace and lit it ablaze. The warmth quickly spreading throughout the room, I could see everyone physically relax as they warmed up.

Me and Naruto sat in front of the fire, blankets wrapped around us, "Hey Sensei.. can I ask you something?" Naruto's voice was soft, and held sorrow.

"Sure kid."

He shifted around for a bit, staring deep into the fire before he spoke, "D-did you know that pervy sage was going to go on that mission..?"

I sighed, I knew this would come up. "Yes and no. Yes I knew of the mission when we left the Leaf. No I didn't know he was going to confront them. I had my suspicions, so I placed a chakra seal on him. It would let me know if he used any chakra whatsoever."

I held my blanket tighter to my body, "But even after I felt him use his chakra I couldn't sense him, I ran around trying to find him, but when I did, it was already too late."

Naruto was quiet for a while, but he sighed and leaned his head on my shoulder, "Thanks Sesnei." I placed my head on his and closed my eyes, "For what Naruto?"

"For not giving up, and leaving me too."

I felt a pang in my heart, "By the way, I met my dad when I was in my nine tails form."

My body tensed up and started to shake,

"He said that he's proud of you, and that you've really grown up, and that you are doing a great job watching out for me."

Tears stung my eyes at his words, Minato was proud of me, he wasn't mad that I left, maybe that means he understood why I had to leave. I sniffled and pulled Naruto closer, "Thanks Kid."

We stayed like that until morning came, everyone slowly waking up one after the other.

"Good morning." Kakashi said kissing the top of my head.

"Morning." I noticed him and Yamato share this look, kind of like they were happy about something, but also they looked on edge.

Naruto's stomach growled loudly, "Well I'm hungry! So what do you eat around here? There's no animals, or crops so-"

"There's always fish Naruto." I laughed and stood up putting my shoes on.

"Can we come too?" Sakura asked a smile plastered on her face.

"I would hope so." She quickly clamored to her feet and shoved her feet in her shoes, everyone doing the same and we left my old home. I walked them to the old fishing but we had and handed them each a fishing pole and chunks of frozen meat that I had to bring last time.

I lead them to the frozen lake that we always used for fishing and training.

"Whoa! It's so pretty!" Sakura has said everything was pretty since she got here, "Yep, well Sakura do you mind punching holes through the ice so we can fish?"
