Guardianship

Sarutobi sat in his office late at night, smoking hid pipe, hands crossed under his chin and a weary, Grim expression on his elderly face. Itachi Uchiha had done well, he covered up any evidence or traces that may had lead to revealing that the council and The sandiame himself had ordered that the uchiha clan was to be exterminated.

It was a sad and horrible mission but it had to be done, and Itachi was the only one who could of pulled it out.

A figure appeared in a burst of smoke, in the middle of the room in front of the hokage's desk, crouched low in a bow, an Inu mask covered it's face but the spiky gray hair showed who it was. Inu looked up at the hokage. "You summoned me, Hokage-san."

He said idly, standing up and slinking into a relax pose.

"Remove your mask Inu-san, And yes. I summoned you two hours ago." Sarutobi growled at the anbu.

Inu removed his mask to revel a young face. A mask covering up to the bridge of his nose and pale skin. One black eye looked on lazily and one eye was covered by his Konoha forehead protector.

Kakashi Hatake. Also known through out the elemental countries as the copy ninja, known to have copied over a thousand Jutsu with his sharingan, given to him be his dead teammate, Obito uchiha. Graduated the academy at 5, chunin at six, jonin at 13 and anbu soon after. The last living student who trained under the Yondiame hokage, also known as Minato namizake. Now at 26, he was a the leader of anbu.

And also a completely Rude, perverted man late for everything by at least an hour.

His current record was 21 hours 43 minutes and 5 seconds.

"Kakashi-san what is the reports on Naruto and sasuke Uchiha." Sarutobi asked, he had given the anbu a mission of analysis on the two young brothers. To gather any information on their development.

Kakashi sighed and pulled his trademark possession, Icha Icha, the little orange book was the scorn of every woman Alive, and the fact that it was written by Sarutobi's own student Jiraiya, didn't help his reputation at all.

Kakashi flipped a few pages of the book before answering.

"Sasuke Uchiha, has shown signs of severe Post-traumatic stress disorder. While he was never very outgoing in class, now he is just distant, withdrawn, even cold to… well, everyone. But he does show fits of anger and violence with his younger brother." kakashi stated, and the sandiame's eyes narrowed with worry.

That was not good at all.

He signaled for the anbu to continue.

"He has also shown signs of being quite anti-social. Each time their instructors orders that they do a group project, he also protests it. And he often very irritable, he mostly just broads in class all day long."

Kakashi finished his speech and looked down at his book, waiting for the hokage to gather his thoughts. "what about Naruto, how is he doing?"

Kakashi signed and looked up again. " Naruto uchiha is the on am the most worried about. Naruto, leave's everyday with his brother to the academy, he tries to talk with him but sasuke doesn't ever really respond. He waits on a old swing set for sasuke to get out of class, he doesn't even move an inch, he just sits there. One or too times I caught him crying a little though. He shows signs of Post traumatic stress disorder as well, but none of the anger, he has severe problems sleeping at night, and he is terrified of anything related to night, and he seems to be suffering from stress dwarfism, he may be almost five but he is the size of a small three year old."

Kakashi actually closed his book and looked the hokage dead in the eye. "The thing that Naruto, needs right now is pure affection and support. Sasuke too. I know you hoped that they would comfort each other but the opposite has happened." Kakashi started to glare.

"I refuse to have the son of my sensei, the man who was like a father to me. Go through this." he stated in a serious, firm voice.

Sarutobi's eyes widened to the size of saucers and his mind reeled. "How did you know!" he nearly yelled at the indifferent looking young man. Who in return just shrugged.

"I was with minato-sensei and Kushina-Chan so much, I would be able to recognized their child. And their was also the fact that I over heard you conversation with Fugaku-san that night so long along…." he trailed off with a little eye smile that seemed out of place in the tense room.

"the point is hokage-Sama, that I'm requesting guardianship over Naruto Uchiha.

And I believe it would be best to send sasuke to a mental help station until he gets over his anger, then have him sent to me as well." kakashi said, standing upright and serious.

To his distress the hokage sadly shook his head. "I cannot separated them Kakashi, for what you say Naruto clings to his brother like a lifeline, despite how sasuke treats him. Naruto would be destroyed to have him taken away. And there's no way the council would agree." he explained wearily.

"Then just give me custody of both of them then!" kakashi protested loudly. " I can find a way to help sasuke as well. But if you let this continue then were going to lose them. I believe that sasuke may be too far in already but, Naruto.. We can still steer him off the path of revenge."

Sarutobi sighed and buried his face in his hand. It was silent in the office for a few long tense minutes before the hokage spoke again.

"One month…" he said, raising his face and looking at the slightly confused kakashi.

"I will let you watch over them for one month, if it goes well you keep them, if it doesn't you never bring this topic up again. Do I make myself clear."

Kakashi eye smiled and pulled out Icha Icha again. "Crystal clear hokage, oh, and I'm taking a one month break from ANBU." he informed, and left in a burst of smoke. Leaving the hokage to his thoughts.

Naruto a sat alone in the living room of the main house of the Uchiha compound, A Small bruise on his cheek. Moonlight flittered in through the windows. Legs crossed he rolled his wooden car across to hardwood floor tiredly.

The toy was missing two wheels, one from the front set and one from the back set, making it rather hard to play with. He looked down the hall from the living room where his Aniki slept. Sasuke had told him to be quiet and don't make noise because he had a large test tomorrow.

Naruto promised he would be quiet, and he tried really badly to be.

but he had tripped when he was walking and the toys he had been carrying fell clattering. loudly on the floor, and sasuke had been so mad at him, he ran for the room and slapped acroos the face then he broke his favorite toy. it scared him when his brother was mad, but not as much when he brother hit him. It hurt deep inside then, like he was taking something out of him.

Naruto lightly touched the bruise on his face, and winced. He knew that it would heal in next 30 minutes or so, all of his injuries did that. But it still would hurt.

Now because he had been so bad and woke up sasuke, he didn't have anything to play with. And he would get bored. And when he got bored he would notice how lonely the house was. And then he would notice that they were all gone. And then he would cry, and that would just make sasuke even madder than usual.

Sasuke said not to think of Kaa-san and Tou-san, only think of Itachi, and how they were going to get revenge on him for killing the clan.

every time sasuke talked about Tachi-Nii his eyes were full of hate,

Naruto didn't like that. as strange as it may be Naruto still loved his brother he missed him very much.

He still even had to toy fox that Itachi had given him. Of course it was hidden from sasuke.

Someone knocked on the door, and Naruto's head looked over his shoulder at the door confused

They rarely got any visitors, cept for the hokage who would visit them almost everyday, for a while after the death of the clan but he stopped coming about five weeks ago.

Naruto made his way slowly to the door, he thought he should wake up sasuke. But he quickly decided against it.

He was to short to look out the peep hole so he cracked the door slightly, all he saw was a flack of silver hair and a masked face.

"Helop there! Mind if you let me in." the weird man did a strange eye curve thing, and Naruto opened his mouth but closed it. Remembering that his mother told him to never talk to strangers. So Naruto just gave him a curious stare and shook his head.

The man sweat dropped. "why can't you let me in?"

Naruto shrugged.

"how about I introduce myself. My name is Kakashi Hatake." the man said, pointing to himself.

Naruto didn't know what to do now. He introduced himself so he wasn't a stranger anymore technically speaking. But still Naruto didn't know anything about this guy or what he wanted. But the man didn't look that dangerous.

Naruto opened the door halfway and stepped back. Kakashi walked in and looked around the large room.

Naruto stared up at him, the man looked taller close-up. "umm… my names Naruto." he said shyly, ducking his head down. He peeked at the man through his bangs. "what do you want Kakashi-san" he asked politely, remembering all the manners his father taught him.

Kakashi just did that weird eye thing again and chuckled. "Well Naruto. I'm going to be your new guardian!" he cheered out.

Naruto just stared.

Okay so the one month will begin! To stay with the boys kakashi has to get both of them to agree. Naruto is the easy case, but what about sasuke.
