Kakashi's Secrets part 1

Post Author: ssj sasuke

I have been pondering the whereabouts of certain characters in the Naruto Universe. Mostly, the ones in Kakashi’s life. He is such a mystery, we don’t know about his family, besides his deceased father, we don’t know what happened to all those close to him, how he got the Mangekyou Sharingan, hell, we don’t even know what his face looks like! I’m sure we will find out eventually, but until then, I’m going to come up with my own answers…

• Part One: The Prequel

After the events in Kakashi Gaiden, Kakashi was in an unhealthy state of mind. He started blaming himself for everything, carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. He had recently become a Jounin though, and was just starting to take on big missions, but all this guilt on his mind was interfering with his ninja duties. Minato noticed this and told him to take a break from his ninja duties. He went on a trip with Rin to the Lightning Country as efforts for a better relationship between the countries, but Minato told him to try and have a good time while he was there.

Upon arrival, Kakashi learned Rin had family that lived there, in fact, she was born there. She hadn’t moved to Konoha until she was 5, because her mother was seeking a better place to raise a child. Rin and Kakashi spent a lot of time together. He remembered what Obito told him about friends and loved ones being the most important things in ones life, and decided to finally return the effection Rin had wanted to give him his whole life. They were inseperable until they had to return to Konoha…

They decided to keep their relationship a secret, until one day Rin realized she was pregnant. But Kakashi was just about to be admitted into ANBU, a child would interfere with his success. Caring for his well being, Rin decided she couldn’t put this on his shoulders.

She visited him one more time, while he was sleeping.

“And where are you headed?”

It was Minato, he had seen her come in through the window, and followed.

Rin: “Oh, Sensei, I was just…”

Minato: “Its ok Rin, I’ve known about you two for a while. Why are you planning on leaving though? Are you not happy?”

Rin: “I can’t talk about here… Can we go outside?”

Rin and Minato took a walk to Obito’s Gravesite.

Minato: “He would be happy for you, you know that?”

Rin: “Yes Sensei… Kakashi still blames himself for…”

Minato: “I know, it was killing him inside. Thats why he needs you…”

Rin: “I can’t stay, I would just be a burden for him… now that I’m with child…”

Minato: “I see… Well I can’t make your decisions for you, but my last piece of advice to you is to listen to your heart. Life isn’t all about following rules, and missions. I thought Obito showed you that much.”

Rin: “Yes Sensei, your right… I’ll see you tomorrow then?”

Minato: “See ya.”

But he didn’t see her. The next couple weeks, Kakashi searched everywhere for her. Minato told him to let it go, there was nothing he could do, if it was meant to be, they would find each other again. Once again, Kakashi was thrown into a deep depression, another person dear to him was gone. And that is how the gloomy, serious Kakashi we know today was born. But what of Rin…

She moved back to the Lightning Country. Living with relatives, she decided to start a new life. One where she felt she couldn’t be a burden. She eventually had that child, but she couldn’t decide what to call him. After much deliberation, there was only one title she knew would please Kakashi… Obito.
