章 34: Execution (Part-3)
It is the summer festival and Kakashi is dressed in a ripple designed kimono, rich black with a bright red obi and long sleeves.
"Do I really have to wear this?", asked Kakashi
Yasaki in his own black kimono smiled gently, "Yes you do, and remove your Mask as well", Yasaki said preparing Kakashi
"Nii san"
"Kakashi, You are removing your mask or I will tell Kushina sensei about your secret stash of Icha Icha Paradise"
"..."
Kakashi silently removed his mask.
Yasaki chuckled, "Cheer up, removing that mask does not mean it's the end of this world"
...
Yasaki and Kakashi both come to pick Rin up for the festival.
"..."
"Who are you?", she asked Confused while looking at Kakashi, while Kakashi growled, and Yasaki silently laughed
He went to pick his own date, Kurenai. while Leaving awkward Kakashi and Blushing rin alone, as they cursed him for leaving them
...
The festival is loud and noisy and full of life.
Rin and Kakashi kept on walking in total awkward silence.
Kakashi gathered enough confidence at last, "You look beautiful", Kakashi maneuvers a lock of her hair behind her ear.
She watches him with large black eyes as the fireworks shine brightly in the background.
Her heart is beating and she lowered her head blushing madly, He hesitantly kissed her forehead. She blushed even more
...
Yasaki laughed seeing Kakashi and Rin, as he talks and laughs with his date, Kurenai Yuhi, with who he was able to become friends once again after a long time. They saw Asuma coming and glaring at Yasaki
He practically became the third wheel before Yasaki signaled her to leave them alone for a few minutes. Kurenai shook her head, but seeing his puppy eyes, she had to leave two boys alone
"Do you know why she is on a date with me and not you?", Yasaki asked smiling
Asuma glared at him, "Because you are my love rival, and she actually likes you more than me"
Yasaki laughed lightly
"You are already married, so, why are you trying to steal my crush from me?"
Yasaki chuckled, "I am not stealing anything from anyone. and no, she does not like me either, but you never asked her out... like... ever"
"..."
Asuma just gawked at him, he wanted to retort to that but he knew he can't.
"I am on a date with her, because I actually asked her out, while you just waited... for a very long time"
"..."
Yasaki laughed as he taps Asuma's shoulders before Leaving him alone.
"Hey, Where are you going?"
"Keep her company Asuma, and tell her before someone else does, she is gorgeous after all."
"..."
After a few minutes, she came back, "Hey, where is Yasaki?"
"He... Left", Asuma said thinking something
She was shocked hearing this
"Kurenai, I... you... Sigh... will you be my date tonight", Asuma asked very Nervously
She smiled, "Of course"
He beamed at this.
...
Yasaki watched Minato Kun and Kushina sensei holding hands while Minato holding their son Naruto, who was watching everything with stars in his big blue eyes.
They have Fugaku and Minato as well. As they hold the hands as well.
Itachi holds Little Sasuke with a huge smile on his face. Sasuke watched everything with awe.
Yasaki smiled and left for the darker side of the village.
...
Kakashi and Rin bought Obito's favorite food and bring it to the Memorial stone, where they eat and drink with the imaginary Obito in the graveyard.
From behind the trees, Obito merged with White Zetsu to hide his chakra was watching everything, as he smiled gently, "Kakashi, Rin, I hope you two are always happy... I will make the perfect world for you two"
Obito said as he watches Yasaki coming to the graveyard as well, "You too bastard, Stay happy"
Obito disappeared in a spiral. Yasaki's senses are way too scary, Yasaki can find him even if no one else can
...
While everyone was having fun in the festival, Sakumo was sitting leaning on the tree in the graveyard, still weeping silently in front of her grave.
"Hey old man, wanna drink with me?", came the voice from behind him
Sakumo looked at the smiling Yasaki, "What are you doing here instead of enjoying at the festival?"
Yasaki smiled as he placed the bottle down, "It was for the couples, My partner is... well you know is far far away in a lockdown country"
"Sigh... Kid, what are you doing here? The truth this time. Even if you don't have any date you can enjoy the festival"
"I came here for you... Because I knew you would be here crying over Kaa san's memories"
"..."
"Want to drink with me? I bet I can beat you in drinking"
Sakumo rolled his eyes, "Funny, you can't drink"
"Haha, Joke's on you, I have practiced a lot since Lady Tsunade's departure, Wanna bet with me?"
Sakumo chuckled, "Sure"
Yasaki was out just after his fifth cup
"..."
Sakumo laughed as he drinks more and more
...
Kakashi came after some hours as well.
*Hic*
"What... are you doing... here?", asked the drunk Sakumo
Kakashi smiled as he gently put the down the bottle in his hand, "I came to get you guys"
*Hic
"You knew where we were?"
Kakashi nodded, "He is everywhere you are"
Sakumo laughed, "Isn't he? He is such a dada's boy"
"..."
Sakumo laughed as he caressed Kakashi's cheeks, "I am so proud of you Kakashi... I am so proud of both of you", Sakumo grinned and pointed to himself, "Makes me wonder, was I such a good parent?"
Sakumo laughed, and fall unconscious.
"Yes you are a wonderful parent", Kakashi sighed and picked Yasaki on his back while picking Sakumo like a bride. As he looked at his mother's grave with a bright smile as he left with both of them.
...
In the midway, Yasaki did gain his consciousness back as he found himself on Kakashi's back
"Ka... kashi"
"You are awake", Kakashi sighed as he kept on walking while carrying these two
Yasaki giggled, "Want me to tell you a secret?"
"I am sure I don't"
Yasaki gigged, "Remember when Kushina sensei burned all your Icha Icha books... I told her about it"
"..."
"I gave Rin the embarrassing pictures of you... Hahaha it was so much fun"
"..."
After a while of Laughing, Yasaki pulls out his necklace and put it on Kakashi's neck.
!!!
"Nii san"
Yasaki laughed, "You never saw Kaa san right?"
"..."
"When she died, me and tou san developed PTSD, we couldn't bear to look at her face, I couldn't even look at my face, so did Tou san"
"..."
"It was because of this we used to fight a lot. But in the middle of it, No one thought about you right? Because of us, You never get to see how she look"
"It's alright, It's been years already"
"Kakashi, this necklace is now yours from today, Please look after it. It's her last memory"
"No"
"Why?"
"Because it's precious to you, You are drunk and not know what you are talking about; after you wake up tomorrow, you will feel regret by parting from it"
Yasaki laughed, and tap his head, "Silly Otou, I already made you wear it, You can't take it out, Your hands are occupied"
"..."
He leaned on his big back, "When did your back grow so much?"
"..."
"I am glad you grew up to be a big strong man. I am so proud of you Kakashi"
"..."
"I did such a great job with you"
"..."
"I am going to be a great Mother aren't I?", Yasaki giggled and went back to sleep
Kakashi sighed as he continued to carry them back
...
After putting them down on the bed, Kakashi caressed the pendant given to him by Yasaki, as he read the inscription on it.
'If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together, there is always something you must remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is: Even if we are apart, I'll always be with you'
Kakashi smiled gently as he watches his mother for a long long time... after some time, he closed the locket at the end of the pedant and bring it back to Yasaki who was sleeping quite happily.
Kakashi chuckled seeing the cute look on Yasaki as he put the locket back on his neck, "I see my kaa san daily", He whispered as he left
...
(Next Morning)
Minato watches Sakumo with a smile as he drinks the coffee
"What brings you here on your daily tough schedule?", Sakumo asked
Minato smiled, "As you said, My schedule is kind of full, so, we will get straight to the topic"
"I want you to become an elder", Minato said
"Not interested", Sakumo said
"It wasn't a question"
"I wasn't asking either"
"You are still Konoha shinobi that means you still come under me Sakumo san"
"You and your ANBUS are not strong enough, besides I am not on the active roster I believe?"
Minato laughed, "I put you back on it"
"Never asked for it"
Minato chuckled, "You can have your former authority and reputation back"
"Not... Interested... Minato"
"..."
"If that was all---
"What if I tell you, I have the proof(s) that you didn't start the third war?"
"..."
"You want to have a go at the elders right? After all, they tried hurting Yasaki, they tried to hurt Kakashi as well."
"..."
"I am not going to be an elder"
"We can discuss it later, But taking them out, are you in?"
"There will be a huge civil war if this happens, we are already so weak after Kyuubi's attack, we will have nothing after the civil war"
"We will lose nothing, I have root under me, I will use them till Danzo is executed and then decide whether to show them mercy or kill them"
"..."
"We even have Civilians in our grasp, all the clans under elders are thoroughly cleaned up, they are loyal to us now as well. We have cut all their ties to illegal earning as well"
"..."
"sigh, what do you want Minato?"
"Sakumo san, I want you, to propose a formal lawsuit against the elder council"
!!!!
Sakumo chuckled at this, "You gotta be kidding---- You are serious"
Minato smiled, "Yes, This scroll has every paper, Every evidence, and name of the witnesses that we have collected against them, and it's lots of them... There will be lots of voices against this, especially Sandaime sama, But please do not deter, I can't openly take your side, But with these pieces of evidence, they can not do anything"
"..."
"What are you going to do to them?"
"Execute them after telling everyone what they did"
"..."
"Sandaime won't allow this to happen"
"No, he won't, that's why we have prepared something for this as well
Minato sighed, and took out a paper, "This is the dirt on Sandaime sama"
"..."
"I will ask him to step down from the elder position after this"
"..."
"And if he still makes it hard for us to execute Elders... Make these things public"
!!!!
"You sure?"
"..."
"Minato"
"I am sure"
"..."
"Danzo won't be quiet"
Minato smiled
"I have rolled the dice Sakumo san, and now it's his turn to make a move... but every roll has a trap set by me"
"..."
"I control every side of the dice... The only side that remains is you"
"..."
"Are you in or not?"
"..."
"Sakumo san"
"I am in"
Minato nodded, "I will handle and process all the paperwork, Please forward it to Hokage's office. Tomorrow, you will be accusing the elder council, of all their crimes in front of the entire village. I will take their side, And so will many of the clans. But you will be free to continue and with all these shreds of evidence and witnesses, I don't think they stand a chance"
"Understood", Sakumo said as he took the scroll
