Chapter 1 - 1. Prologue

"Huh?"

The moment I opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange world. In a strange body. With strange memories.

Of the famous Copy Ninja Kakashi.

I am in the world of Naruto!?

As Kakashi!?

Damn...

I had just gone to sleep after watching Kakashi vs Obito for the nth time. The fight is just so iconic.

And now, I transmigrated on the day just after the Kyuubi attack.

Sigh...

Well, it's useless to panic right now.

First things first, I need to get used to being a ninja.

I doubt there is much time before I am deployed.

Right now, I need to quit ANBU, and start grinding.

Canon Kakashi stopped growing much after Rin's death, until defection of Sasuke.

By then, his main stage of growth, puberty, was long gone. Yet he still became a powerhouse.

Right now Kakashi... I am only 14 years old physically. In my growing phase. The period which will make the most difference.

So I can do a whole lot of things before plot starts. Maybe even take out Obito beforehand, since I have a perfect counter against him.

Well, all I need to currently focus on is getting stronger.

I hope I inherited his crazy talent alongside his body.

Speaking of body, I can feel the strain of Sharingan even though I am not using it. It is sucking my chakra like crazy.

Normally, one moulds a set amount of chakra, and it remains in his system for quite a while. Before getting Sharingan, Kakashi didn't need to mould chakra for a whole day of battle.

But he now needs to do it every few hours, even while not battling. Since Sharingan sucks out all his reserve chakra.

So one of the thing on his top priority list is developing a seal for his Sharingan. That he can unravel easily when needed.

Like some sort of tap to cut off the chakra flow, and open it as needed.

He will first need to be able to use fuinjutsu with just handsigns first, like Minato-sensei.

In fact, Minato-sensei didn't even need handsigns for lots of seals.

Wait...

Sensei!? Since when did I start calling Minato Minato-sensei?

...It seems that the memories of Kakashi are really affecting me.

I hope that I don't become depressed...

Am I depressed?

I don't think so. But most depressed people don't think that they are depressed, right?

I sighed and got up.

It's already 9 am. Around 12 hours since the Kyuubi attack ended and Minato-sensei and Kushina died. The funeral should have been already arranged.

I should get their things for safekeeping and studying instead of letting Hiruzen have it.

I moved around my new body for a bit, and didn't really feel any difference. I guess Kakashi's memories and instincts are properly fused with me.

Then. I went to freshen up.

And... Woah! It's so big!

Is this thing really of a 14 year old!?

No wonder Guy was surprised by it.

After freshening up, I wore the funeral clothes, and went out.

"Kakashi."

Guy was waiting for me outside my home.

Guy is really Kakashi's best friend. Instead of that psycho loser Obito.

"Mhm. Let's go."

Today, there was no race. We just walked towards the graveyard.

Before Guy could say anything, I said, "Guy, I am leaving ANBU. Make a team with me."

I can only trust Guy to have my back right now. With Minato-sensei gone, Danzo will obviously try something.

And I can't say that I am at Kakashi's 100%, since I have just transmigrated. Going alone will be dangerous.

"Huh!? Of course! YOSH! We will be the greatest duo! Relishing in the Springtime of Youth!"

Guy flashed his smile and gave me the thumbs up.

Thank you Guy.

We walked across the destroyed parts of Konoha, and reached the graveyard.

We were quite early. Only Hiruzen and his advisors were currently present.

Oh. The funeral was supposed to be at 12pm.

We are 3 hours early.

So why was Guy waiting this early? Since when was he waiting outside my home?

... He really is the greatest friend.

And it makes me feel a little guilty.

What exactly happened to the original Kakashi?

Did he somehow die and I took over? Or did we merge?

I hope it's the second one.

And even then, I am not the original Kakashi that was Guy's best friend.

Still, keeping my emotions in check, I approached Hiruzen.

"Third Hokage-sama. I would like to resign from ANBU."

Danzo stared at me expressionlessly as I said that. I am sure that he wants to pull me into ROOT. And I don't know what else.

But he didn't say anything.

Hiruzen put his hand on my shoulder, and said, "Alright. Kakashi, are you okay?"

"Yes. And I would like to hold onto Minato-sensei and Kushina's things for—"

Oh. Guy is not supposed to know about Naruto.

Danzo got angry about my request.

"He was the Fourth Hokage. His things belong to the village—"

Hiruzen raised his hand and shut Danzo up.

"It's alright. Minato didn't really take anything related to Hokage position to his home."

"Thank you, Third Hokage-sama."

It seems like Hiruzen is very favorable towards Kakashi.

And maybe it also gives him a way for Naruto to get his things without revealing his identity. And it's not like the jutsus that Minato-sensei mastered can be learnt by just anyone.

If I learn the things he knew, it will be great for the village.

After thanking him, I moved away with guy to Minato-sensei and Kushina's grave.

They were so good to Obito, yet he did this.

If I had transmigrated even a day before, I could have prevented their deaths.

So, I can't really do anything, but kill Obito.

He is beyond any forgiveness or talk-no-jutsu.
