So here's the deal. I have had a few (a lot) of ideas running through my head for quite a long time. Some I've even held onto for years. I feel like once I start writing something I should do so when I have the motivation and time to do so. I have the time, now all I need to do is muster up the motivation to see it all to the end. I have just posted the first chapter to most of my ideas. Hopefully, this way if I find my interest declining in one area I can work on the other until it builds back up (I will always love my stories and something always happens to pick the idea back up later on). I am posting this beginning bit in all of my chapters, so lets see what happens shall we? Also, if anyone who reads any of these stories likes them please give me some input on what you did or did not like (flames will be ignored or laughed at). I really want to improve as a writer.

Summary: When Kakashi was sent back in time he knew everything that was going to happen and how to fix it. What he didn't know was that there was some things he had missed all his life, and with every change he made they were coming to light. His friend's might be even crazier than he thought they were, and they were ready to take the future into their own hands. Crack!fic but with plenty of drama and adventure too.

Chapter 1: The True Professor

"Sandaime-sama," a young, five year old Kakashi bowed.

Sarutobi smiled sadly at the boy. It had only been a month since Kakashi lost his father. The boy had not been adapting well, not that many could tell. He was rigidly professional and showed little to no vulnerability. It made the Hokage's heart ache.

"Hello Kakashi-kun, what can I do for you?" The boy straightened and Sarutobi frowned in concern. "What happened to your eye?"

Kakashi lifted his small hand to finger the bandages covering his left eye. "Mah, well, that's part of what I need to talk to you about. Do you mind if we make this private? It's pretty important."

Sarutobi paused before signaling for his Anbu to leave. He new Kakashi held his pride in a vice like grip, and admitting any form of weakness pained him. If making his guards stand outside was what it would take to get the boy to open up then he would do so happily. He was the Hokage; he could handle himself against a toddler.

"Thank you," Kakashi relaxed before approaching the desk. "I really didn't want anyone getting the wrong idea."

"About what Kakashi-kun?" Sarutobi was shocked at the lack of respect he was showing. He didn't mind at all, but for the boy to be anything but the epitome of polite was almost unheard of. He was even more shocked when Kakashi reached for his hand.

"Well it's not a very pleasant experience. I'd hate to be arrested right off the bat." Kakashi sent him a small smile, which made Sarutobi practically catatonic. This couldn't possibly be Kakashi.

When the tiny hand touched his Sarutobi's eyes shot wide open when a seal suddenly glowed on the back of his hand. Before he could move a wave of pain made his vision dance.

No, not dance. He was seeing… something.

When Kakashi pulled back the connection broke, leaving Sarutobi gasping for breath.

"T-that was-"

"Deep breaths tend to help," Kakashi advised, his posture relaxed but his gaze wary.

Sarutobi took the advise and breathed sharply threw his nose, holding his breath for a moment, before letting it out. He forced himself to calm down as he thought over what he had seen.

"…I'm going to have grandchildren."

Kakashi shot him a blank look, his shoulders slumping. "Uh, that's really what you're choosing to focus on?"

"A grandpa."

"Sandaime-sama-"

"And both of them went and got themselves killed before they could become parents!"

"Sir, while you have my condolences, there is far more important-"

"Fools! And Orochimaru! What is that brat thinking?!"

"A very good point, one I wanted to talk to you about actually, but the main-"

"And Minato. I always new he would be great, why didn't he just let me preform the damn seal? I'm old! How dare he shove the hat back to me!"

Kakashi shook his head despairingly.

"Madara is a bit of a surprise, though vengeful bastards do tend to find their way back often enough."

Kakashi tried to dispel whatever genjutsu he was under. This was all one of Naruto's pranks, he was sure. The idiot blond had fooled him into believing time travel was possible all for the sake of this elaborate ruse.

"Putting a hole in the village is completely unacceptable. Danzo should have been far more concerned about such a thing even being a possibility. I'm going to have to have a long chat with him."

"Kai."

"You do make a rather good Hokage Kakashi-kun, I'll keep that in mind of course."

"Please don't. Kai!"

"Ah, young Naruto. What an interesting child. He was the one who sent you back, yes? What a wonderful Will of Fire."

Kakashi slumped his head in defeat.

"Well," Sarutobi stood up, shaking his head to clear the sudden vertigo at the movement. "This won't do at all. Follow me Kakashi-kun."

The not five year old scratched the back of his head but moved to follow the older man. "…Where are we going?"

Sarutobi waved his hand flippantly, his thoughts racing. "To sign you up for Anbu. I can't let Danzo have any sway over anything so I'll need you at my direct disposal. I'll have to create medical files for your eye as well. Honestly Kakashi-kun, I understand it was a sentimental notion, but is far more attention grabbing than the sharingan. What are you going to do when someone sees it?"

Kakashi didn't pout. "No one is going to see it."

Sarutobi snorted. "Oh, I'm sure someone will."

"I'll say it was an accident," the non-child shrugged.

Sarutobi paused before he opened the door to send Kakashi a dubious look. "A seal etched into your skin and a bright red fox demon eye are not going to be seen as an accident. You and Naruto-kun planned this very well, but some parts are so outrageously ridiculous I'm not entirely sure what to think. It's a good thing you showed me everything, or Kami knows what would have happened."

Kakashi grumbled under his breath. Their plans were perfect, thank you very much.

"Excuse me Owl," Sarutobi walked out into the hall, Kakashi trailing behind, "would you mind getting Panther for me? Tell her to meet me at the hospital."

An Anbu with an Owl mask appeared from the shadows. Sketching a quick salute, he disappeared out the window.

"Come along Kakashi-kun."

"Yes, Sandaime-sama," Kakashi stated blankly, aware of the other Anbu around them. As they made their way out of the tower Naruto's parting words filtered through his thoughts.

"Don't worry about the old man," Naruto grinned, the smile pulling at the fresh scars on his face. "He'll take care of everything. He might be old, but he's crazy."

Kakashi had thought his student had meant the famed Hokage was 'crazy strong' or 'crazy smart'. Now he new he was supposed to take it exactly as it was said. The Third Hokage was crazy.

"I wonder if I should join the war too," Sarutobi muttered to himself, missing how Kakashi suddenly paled. "It would certainly hurry things along. We don't have time for petty squabbles."

'I should never have come back,' Kakashi lamented mentally, his eye wandering to the clouds. 'I thought things would be better now. More normal at least.'

"What do you think about abolishing the council Kakashi-kun?" Sarutobi questioned. The Anbu following them shared looks of disbelief. "They cause far more trouble than they are worth."

"I don't thing that is a good idea Sandaime-sama," Kakashi kept his voice carefully measured.

"I suppose so," Sarutobi nodded. "We wouldn't want to cause a panic. I'll think of something else then."

'Damn you Naruto, you knew he was like this! How did no one else realize?!'

Sarutobi suddenly smiled warmly, looking for all the world like a homely, kind old man. "Good afternoon Danzo, how are you?"

Danzo glared at the Hokage from where he had just turned the corner. "Hokage-sama," he greeted stiffly, before his gaze wandered down to Kakashi. "Hatake-san."

"Danzo-sama," Kakashi greeted, bowing his head slightly.

"Sarutobi," Danzo turned back to his rival. "It has come to my attention that-"

"Excuse me Danzo," Sarutobi interrupted, looking sincerely apologetic, "but I am in a bit of a hurry. Kakashi-kun was just attacked and I need to get him to the hospital immediately."

Danzo looked down once more, taking in the bandages around the child's face. "An attack? In the village?"

"Yes," Sarutobi replied solemnly, the air turning tense. "I will be convening the council in a few hours. The one who had attacked Kakashi-kun was impersonating an Anbu."

Danzo looked up sharply. "What?"

"It would seem we have a spy amongst our ranks," the third glared into space, outraged. "We must uproot them as soon as possible."

Kakashi wondered if the Hokage had mentioned roots on purpose.

"I… will gather the council," Danzo said stiffly.

"Thank you," Sarutobi smiled graciously. "At least I know I can trust those closest to me."

As Danzo left them the third continued walking to the hospital, Kakashi close behind him.

"Don't worry Kakashi-kun," Sarutobi patted his head lightly, bringing him closer so he could speak without anyone else hearing. "Root should be gone within the next few weeks."

Kakashi stared at him, his eye wide. "…You are a terrifying man, sir."

Sarutobi laughed. "Of course I am! I made sure to be peaceful last time and look how that turned out? I need to change tactics."

'What have I done?' Kakashi jumped as Sarutobi patted his head again. The Third Hokage simply continued to smile. Kakashi had come to him in order to save the village, and he would be damned if he let anyone get in his way.

Things were going to change.

I've never actually written anything that is purely crack before, I tend to lean more towards emotional stories, but I figured this would be a good writing experience. Of course there is going to be a lot of emotional drama as well, but I'm going to try to make this story as entertaining as possible, so hopefully it turns out alright. I would love any criticism anyone has to offer in order to improve and I will answer all of my reviews in the next chapter.

Thank you for reading!
