Kakashi, a nine year old chunnin is hiding a dark secret from his team. When his ten year old teammates, Obito and Rin notice something wrong with their younger teammate they decided the best thing to do is inform their Sensei Minato.

Kakashi Hatake is dead. He died at the young age of ten to save his team, Obito and Rin from the boulders in the collapsing cave near Kannabi Bridge. There was no body to bring home, or to bury, no corpse to mourn for. Only a thought, a memory, a quote, a promise: "I will protect them." _________________________________________ I do not know Naruto. Warnings will be included.

"What are you?" A fearful voice stuttered out. "I'm only human, just like you," Kakashi replied in the calm yet oppress voice while in a deep chuckle echoed in the back of my mind. 'Really, are you now.' _________________________________________ I do not know Naruto or it's characters. Bad summary sorry might fix it later, and warnings will be included in chapters.
