Chapter Text

KAKASHI DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION. He was the Rokudaime of Konoha. He just some how saw a scroll in the Hokage's library. It look like it hadn't been touched it years.

So when he opened it. What he saw was "1 week". Then it all when black.

When he woke up he saw that he was outside of konoha. Weird he thought. Walking up to the entrance he froze. It didn't look like the one he reigned over. It looked like the village before the Nine Tails Attack™, Sound/Sand Invasion™, Pain Attack™.

Something definitely was wrong. Those guards he saw definitely weren't the guards he knew. Everything was different.

Checking his bag he saw the Sukea costume he wore when he felt like it.

He needed to know which time it was.

So he dressed like Sukea and went to the entrance and asked to speak with the guards.

Going there he observed it looked like the village was peaceful. No attacks; no wars. He didn't know which timeline this was.

Through the entrance they let him pass, as an civilian going through Konoha. He was able to make up a believable back story for himself.

The story was simple he was a wondering civilian looking for a place to stay for a week. They checked him for weapons which he didn't have any.

They gave him have a paper pass after signing a couple of papers. He didn't know these were a thing. Maybe they needed it to keep track of the people?

He needed to go to the Hokage. He needed to explain the situation so he didn't look like a enemy-nin inside the village. That would look horrible. Many Anbus surrounding him not that he could take them. As a Nara would say it would be too troublesome.

Kakashi didn't need anymore trouble.

Walking up to the Hokage Tower with his Takoyaki which he brought on the way. He set a meeting with the Hokage from the secretary. She said the Hokage will be available in thirty mins.

Having to by time he walked around. Waking around he noticed the Hokage Statue. There were three heads. Good thing he wasn't too far back in time.

After walking for thirty mins with his never ending takoyaki he was finally called.

"Sukea-san the Hokage is ready to see you now." She said.

Now sitting near the Hokage he began sweating. He was either going to be accused as liar; maybe an insane person.

He began to explain to the young third Hokage his reason for being here. He mention he was Hatake Kakashi, Hatake Sakumo's son. He also explain how he was from the future and the Rokudaime.

Throughout his explaining the Third Hokage was patiently listening. He looked like he believed Kakashi. He didn't even say something like "That's not possible! Time travelling isn't real!".

After explaining the Third Hokage finally spoke. He sighed at first. "You must have touched Tobirama-Sensei's scroll of seals part of the library. You were lucky to get only a week long travel here. I have heard from sensei that there were other longer periods of it. There was a sign there that states 'Don't not open. Unfinished Seals.' You must have been blind to not see it." As he rubbed his temples he looked at Kakashi like he was dumb as a rock.

Kakashi wasn't really paying attention to his surroundings. He winced. Then Kakashi proceed to ask "Can I stay here in Konoha for the time being?"

"Of course, just keep your disguise and don't let your silver hair be seen. Hatake Sakumo is the last Hatake. It would cause a lot of commotion to let someone to see your hair. I'll be also assigning you a jounin to help you get around the Village. He'll be with you shortly outside. Since the village might look different in the future." He said then tossed a key.

"Of course Sandaime." Kakashi walked away and waited outside the office.

Kakashi didn't see the Third Hokage's smirk behind his interlaced hands.

Sakumo was always a patient man. But what he didn't understand is why the Sandaime assign him to help Sukea for the week in the village if he needed help. Why would Sakumo take care of a civilian was beyond him.

Sakumo talked to Sukea and Sukea would in return give vague answers.  What Sakumo got out of Sukea was that he is a photographer and that he was only travelling for a week.

That's when Sakumo ended the day with saying.

"We better get home. It's getting late. My wife should be preparing dinner by now." Sakumo said while looking at the sky.

Oddly enough that's what got Sukea's attention Sakumo noted.

"Sandaime requested you'd say the house next to us. Your welcome to drop by and eat with us for dinner." Sakumo said.

Sukea's heart was pounding. He'd never met her before. All of her photos were hidden to never be seen again. His father never told him anything about her just that she died at childbirth. He knew at a young age his father was sad all the time.

"A-ah, I'm still exhausted from wandering around, so I'd better get home." Sukea stuttered at the start.

"I see." Replied Sakumo.

They started walking to their destinations. As they walked Sakumo made small talk about their life. On one point his wife came up and Sakumo could sense he was nervous. But nervous of what?

Reaching their destination Sukea bid Sakumo a good night hastily made his was to his temporary house. Now Sakumo was confused but shrugged it off.

Sakumo now entered and saw his wife at the kitchen. Walking up to her and hugged her from behind, he surprised her. Maybe Sakumo forgot, to as his wife said "touch the floor". His wife was a excellent shinobi but at times when she's busy, she can easily be startled.

" Sakumo! Please inform me next time when you get home. You were out longer than what you said." His wife scolded.

"Sorry sorry, Sandaime assigned me to take care of a civilian for the week his name is Sukea. And took longer than expected." he mumbled on top of her head.

"Why is the Sandaime always giving you the useless things, he can easily give it to the other jounin. The doctor said I'll be due this week or next week." She said angrily then proceeded to inform him about her pregnancy.

"I'll be on an important mission by the end of the week." He informed her.

"But can't you take some time of until next week?" She looked at him with puppy eyes.

Sakumo hesitated then sighed. "It's an important mission. I'm the only one who can do it."

His wife sighed knowing when her husband if set himself to do a task he'll do it.

"Alright but come home safe alright? And I'll be going shopping tomorrow for groceries since we're almost running out of food." She said.

"I'll be home safe. I'll be out with the Sandaime tomorrow so I can't go with you." Sakumo said.

"Alright. I'm almost finished with your favorite for tonight."

You woke up in the morning with your husband gone. You sighed. You really wanted your husband to stay for the end of the week. But alas he wanted to prioritize his missions first.

You were almost due soon. You were getting nervous. You and Sakumo agreed on Kakashi if the baby was a boy and Sakumo should name the girl. Sukea was the first name that came into your mind when you found out you were pregnant. What a weird coincidence. Your husband said Sukea was also the name of your temporary neighbor.

You needed groceries, you remembered. You only needed a few things. You could not lift heavy weights but you could lift only lighter ones, your doctors voice ran through your mind. You prepare your things and grabbed your green scarf it was still abit chilly outside.

Going out you noticed it was still early in the morning. It was a cloudy day. You would have stayed inside all day if that were the case.

Walking to the supermarket you brought the stuff you needed. Heading back you bumped into a stranger.
You dropped your groceries. Fortunately it was only a bump on the shoulder, Unfortunately you couldn't reach your  dropped groceries.

You saw a brown haired man with purple markings on his face. "Sorry about that I wasn't really looking." He apologized.

He was picking up your groceries. That was nice of him.

"It's alright." You smiled.

When he finally looked at your face. He looked at you then oddly froze.

Kakashi- no Sukea was frozen. He saw a woman with a beauty mark where his is located. He also saw his scarf on your neck when he was a child. The specific green scarf Kakashi used to always wear when he was still a child that his father gifted it. He also noticed you were also pregnant.

It could just be a coincidence right?

"Sir?" You said.

"Ah yes. Sorry about that." He apologized.

"It's okay. My name is Hatake Kanami. What about you? You seem new here in Konoha?" You asked you almost didn't see the flinch when you said you name.

'Weird' You thought.

"I-i'm Sukea. No last name. I'm just visiting the village for a week." He then cleared his throat.

You recognized the name. It was the name your husband said he'll take care.

"Ah! Your the man that my husband was assigned to help." You said.

Sukea smiled abit strained. He didn't know he was going to meet his mother right now. He honestly didn't know what to feel. He felt like he wanted to hug the life out of her. He wanted to say the things he wanted to say when he was a kid.

Even if he was content at having his father take care of him during his childhood. But a mother's warmth could never be replaced. That's what he wanted as a child. As the time passed he began to ignore the feeling.

Right now he just needed to get through this without hugging her. He would look like a pervert not that he already is but to his mother.

"Yes. I see that your his wife. Also expecting the child, I see? Shouldn't he be here?" He asked. Then handed your groceries. You two began to walk.

"Yes. My husband and I are expecting a child on the way. We don't know the gender yet but I have a strong feeling it's gonna be a boy. Sakumo said it's gonna be a girl. I'm gonna show him wrong." You smiled softly then pouted.

Ah yes a mother's intuition. It was said it was always right most of the time. It seemed like it was right. Looking at you, he could see the resemblance of you to him. Even if he looked like his father.

"Though male genes are were said to be stronger. I think he'll look like Sakumo. Which is unfair. Don't you think?" You sulked sadly.

"Yes. Though it's possible he might have some of your features." He responded.

"Though thinking when I first gotten the news that I was pregnant. The name I was going to name him was Sukea. Then Sakumo changed it and he said he'll name the it if it's a girl and I'll name it if it's a boy. The S from Sukea was from Sakumo's Initial. But Sakumo said I should name it by my initial. Also Sakumo is a bit busy right now. Hmph. He should just marry the Shinobi Rulebook if he wanted." You said then stated the last sentence playfully.

He detected there was no malice in your voice even if he left you to grocery shopping  by yourself. Then he began to think. Why did you say the rulebook? His father didn't strictly follow the rules in there when he was child. So he was confused.

"Your husband? Married to the Shinobi Rulebook? Why?" He asked.

You sighed. "He only knows how to live a shinobi life. Even if I was shinobi before pregnancy but I never followed rules religiously. "

Sukea's mind stilled. Huh? His father following the rules religiously? Like when he was a chunin? This was new. What happened? Was it your death that changed him? Why were you telling him these? He was a stranger.

"Why are you telling me this? For all you know I could be an enemy nin?" He rose an eyebrow.

"Hmm. That's just my intuition. If you were an enemy-nin I would have stayed far away from you. The Hokage wouldn't have let you in the village." You hummed then said.

Kakashi didn't know what to feel about that. It was a warm feeling.

Throughout the week the three of them bonded. Sakumo was always nice. His mother was abit arrogant but more on blunt side.

It was two days ago that Sakumo left for a mission. Sukea had a bad feeling when he left. He would brush it off, if it was just for a moment. But as the days go by the feeling was getting stronger.

He learned that his mother was due in a few days. She looked so excited yet nervous. She had cravings. Sukea helped her with chores when Sakumo left. Sakumo was glad his wife had someone there. At least someone could help her if there was a emergency.

The third day your husband left he was coming back today; but you felt like something is different. You felt like you had a tummyache. You laid your hand on top of your baby bump. Something was wrong.

Suddenly you felt water coming down your legs. It didn't feel like you were peeing. Your widen your eyes. Your water broke!

Luckily you prepare your bags before hand. You trying not to panick. The hospital was abit far. You were having a hard time walking. You felt like the pain was getting stronger. You cursed.

You heard a knock. 'Huh? Sukea?'

"Kanami-san? Are you okay? I heard things falling."

Oh right. Because of the pain, somethings were falling.

You couldn't speak. You it felt like needles were prickling you. You grunted.

You grunted "Sukea."

You were gripping onto the table tightly. It hurts so much.

You suddenly felt like you were picked up. You saw Sukea. He look like he was panicking. You groaned. The pain was fading but slowly coming back. You guess that this was the contractions the doctor was talking about.

You were now able to see what was happening. Sukea was carrying you and was running towards the hospital.

Arriving the hospital you were carried to a bed. Sukea was left outside the room.

Sukea was panicking. Sakumo said he'll be coming back today but he didn't know when. Looking at the window he saw you were in pain. In excruciating pain.

He had a fun time bonding with his mother and father. They were nice.

Wait. If you were giving birth right now. Does that mean you'll die?

He felt dread. He knew he shouldn't have been attached. You were going to die.

After several minutes. He was beginning to get worried. He was pacing. He knew his mother wouldn't make it. His father is late. His mother was suffering.

The doctor finally came out and said he could go inside.

"Sukea?" You mumbled.

"Yes? How are you feeling?" He asked worriedly.

"Fine. Look. He looks like mini sakumo. He has my beauty mark. Maybe you were right." You whispered.

Sukea smiled softly. You were talking about him indirectly like he was the most precious thing in the world.

"I'm so sorry Kakashi." Tears fell down your face. As you felt like the world was slowly getting farther and farther away from you.

Suddenly the machine's flatline was heard. Sukea panicked. The doctors and nurses were now in the room and Sukea was asked to leave.

They tried reviving you for 20 minutes but they couldn't go for much longer. They then declared you dead.

Sukea sat beside you in shock. You were there earlier with him and now you had passed away. He had a hard time processing what happened. Suddenly everything felt cold. It was as if the world knew someone died.

Sakumo came running in. He was panting. He saw Sukea beside you and you laid on the bed with a cover on your face.

Sakumo felt dread. His stomach twisted and he felt like he couldn't stand anymore. He gripped the door like his life was on the line. All the color from his face drained.

"I'm sorry-...... Your wife has...." The doctor said.

Sukea took that time to leave the room. Sukea was outside the door. He just couldn't believe it.

Sakumo went beside you and lifted the cover on your face. He felt like his throat was caught. Your face looked like you were sad. Perhaps he shouldn't have went to the mission like you told him to. He imagined it must have been painful to go through this without him. But he still couldn't believe it.

"I-i'm back...." His voice cracked.

The nurse went up to him and said. "Your child is safe. It's a boy. Your wife said she was sorry. Please hold him"

".....My son..." He said as he tried not to cry.

"i-i'm sorry can you give me a chair, please?" He pleaded. He didn't think he could stand anymore. His legs were numb. Everything was numb.

The nurse gave him a chair. And handed him the baby.

"Let's start with a greeting...Hello my name is Sakumo. I'm y-your father. I've been wanting to meet you for a while. It's nice to finally meet you." He said as he smiled sadly. He had gotten your some features. The small beauty mark. He also got your nose.

"I would have liked to have witness your birth, unfortunately I was at a mission." As he said that he felt like an idiot. Why would he go to a mission with his wife pregnant and almost due.

"Even at the very end, I was too late to be there for her. Before I say anything more, your mother must have brave to hold on throughout childbirth. She was prepared, but it had to be very excruciating. Despite this, your father prioritized his mission........Because I only know how to live a shinobi's life." He said. Every mission he took during your pregnancy he remembered was like guilt building up.

"Do you think he'll be able to make it in the shinobi world like that?" Sakumo said while a fear tears leaked out.

A hand disrupted him from thinking. It was Kakashi. Sakumo remembered you had bet that the child would be a boy and he would be named Kakashi.

"Your right. I should stop thinking things like that." He smiled. He knew he would protect Kakashi.

"Some how you're stronger than I imagined. You'll do great things in the future." Sakumo said while cradling Kakashi.

Sakumo raised his free hand to let Kakashi touch his hand. Kakashi grabbed his finger.

He gritted his teeth. He promised to teach Kakashi when he was ready so he'd be ready for this world.'So this is what it means to have a precious child....'
