He wanted to die. What was there left to live for? He had failed them. His friends, his comrades, his father, his sensei and worst of all his students. Heck, he let the entire world down! In the end he was ready to follow in his fathers footsteps and just end all of it. But what if Kami decided to play with him? What if she gave him the chance to atone for all of his failures? So now Kakashi has to learn how to live again without losing the last bit of his sanity. Will he get help from the unlikeliest places or will he break under his crushing need of atonement?

When Sakura was three, her father told her he was a criminal. When she was seven, the last thing she saw of him was the sword on his back. When she was eight, she had a friend named Kiba. When they were twelve, they met Shino. And when they were genin, they began to fight for the truth because they could no longer fight for the sake of Konoha.

And a strange friendship with Death)
