This story will be similar to Chasing a Legend by Voice of Summer. Except I'm going to be starting when they are 13 and the war will already be over. So here goes!

Kakashi hid behind a tree. "Rin what's your distance from Aoba?" Kakashi asked. There was silence. "Twelve meters Captain." Rin answered. Kakashi nodded. "Meet up. Obito I want you to stay as look out alright if anything happens to me get those to and go." Kakashi ordered. There was once again silence over the radio. "Are you kidding? We never leave a man behind." Obito defied. Kakashi sighed making the radio cackle. "Obito if all of us are caught then there is no hope for somebody else trying to retry this mission. If I do get caught and I'm alone there won't be much talk about it. Understand?" Kakashi asked.

There was silence. "I understand." Obito stated. Kakashi nodded. "Alright. I'm going in." Kakashi said then he disappeared. Obito turned on his sharingan watching Kakashi move across the shadows. Then once Kakashi was about fifteen miles out somebody came out of the shadows. "Well if it isn't the white fang's son. It's my lucky day." A mist ninja came out with a gigantic sword. Kakashi didn't say a word. He unsheathed the white fang. They soon entered into battle. Kakashi seemed to be holding his own fairly well. Kakashi had him at his feet on the ground. "Who are you?" Kakashi asked pointing the tanto at the man on the ground. The man smirked. "You'll never know kid." He stated then he ripped off his shirt to reveal layers of paper bombs. "ABORT!" Kakashi yelled over the radio. The team started to run other than Obito. He watched as Kakashi tried hard to get out of the way. Though he wasn't fast enough the bomb went off sending Kakashi farther away from them. "KAKASHI!" Obito cried.

Rin looked back. "KAKASHI-KUN!" Rin called as tears streamed down her eyes. Aoba held her back. "He-He can't be gone." Rin stated putting her head on his chest. Aoba cradled his comrade. "Kakashi you idiot ANSWER ME!" Obito cried over and over. Tears were streaming down Obito's face. He was running around relentlessly trying to find his friend. "Kakashi!" Obito cried once more. He fell to his knees as he found Kakashi's torn up headband. "Kakashi…" He picked it up. Tears were coming with full power down his eyes. "KAKASHIIIII!" Obito cried as he held the headband to his chest.

Ai had been out patrolling with Darui and C when they heard a blast. They went running in the direction of the blast. "What do you think that was?" C asked. Darui sighed. "Nothing but trouble." Darui stated. Ai had a stern look on his face. Then C stopped. "There's a faint chakra source down there." C stated. They jumped down to see a boy with bruises tattooing his body. He had silver hair and a mask. His clothes were torn. "What should we do?" C asked. Ai grunted picking the kid up. Darui saw something glint. He turned and picked the thing up. It was a tanto broken in half. "Bring it along it must be the kids." Ai ordered. Darui nodded.

He woke up with a pounding headache. "So your finally awake?" A man grunted. He lifted his head with a groan. "Where am I?" He asked. The man had dark skin with braids in his hair. "The Cloud village." He answered. He looked around to see he was in a hospital. "The cloud village?" He asked. The man nodded. "Do you remember anything?" The man asked. The boy placed a hand on his temple. He saw fire an explosion. He heard somebody crying. It all came so fast. He started to have a hard time breathing. "Breathe. We believe that you seem to be in a state of amnesia." A blonde stated. The boy looked at the blonde. "Amnesia? That's a state of memory loss right?" The boy asked. The blonde nodded. "So you can't remember anything?" A guy who was laid back asked. The boy shook his head. "Everything is a blur." The boy told them.

The man with braids sighed. "I've spoken with my father he says that if you wish until your memory returns you may stay here." The man stated. The boy's eyes widened. "I'm Ai. That there is C, and my right hand man is Darui." Ai explained. The boy nodded. "My father has also come up with a name for you." Ai explained. The boy looked at the man before him. "Your name will be Excel. X for short." Ai explained. The boy nodded. "How long have I been out?" X asked. "Two weeks." C explained. X nodded. He got out of bed. Then he froze. "Um was there something on my face when you found me?" X asked. They nodded. "We figured you probably wanted new clothing so we had a mask custom made for you." Darui told him. X nodded.

They tossed him a cloud uniform with a mask connected. He didn't have the famous white flak jacket though he didn't mind. "You'll be going to the academy and then we'll see how you do as a ninja." C told him. X nodded. "Is there a nearby training ground?" X asked. C nodded. "Darui you want to take him?" Ai asked. Darui sighed. "Come on kid." Darui said. X quickly pulled on the uniform. "Alright." X said following after the easy going man.

Once at the training ground. X saw a bunch of weapons to the side. He carefully selected a katana. Darui raised an eyebrow. For some reason X felt like a sword was his best bet at a weapon. He started to train with it. Darui was amazed at his talent with the weapon. Darui watched as X completed several stances. It was like the sword was just an extention of his arm. As X swung the sword it was graceful yet full of power. Darui was surprised with his style though. It seemed more original with a mix of two stances. He would have to talk with the Raikage. Maybe Darui would consider taking in the kid.

It was raining in Konoha. Few people did show up to his funeral. Though those that did attend the funeral were crying so hard. Obito couldn't stop having to wipe away tears. After he had found his best friends head band he never let go of it. It stayed with him wherever he went. Obito had two headbands with him. One his own on his forehead. The other Kakashi's around his neck. It was the connection that sent relief through Obito. Letting Obito know that Kakashi was going to be there with him through the hard times.

Rin didn't appear at the funeral. He went to her house, but when he knocked her parents answered. They told him that she was a wreck and she wasn't coming. Obito felt his heart drop at the sound of wails throughout the house. He left to the funeral on his own. He stared intently at the picture of his best friend. He had his snotty attitude in the picture. He wanted Kakashi just to come out of the picture and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. He was just waiting for Kakashi to call him a crybaby.

He wanted Kakashi to start telling him that he was late. Ever since he was gone the training sessions was just Sensei and him. Sensei looked like a beat up mess. He had bags under his eyes and his eyes were blood shot. Kushina was in the same condition. Even the third was having a hard time with Kakashi's passing. Obito balled his hand in a fist. He fell to his knees in front of Kakashi's tomb stone. "You selfish idiot! You just had to go and die! You didn't think it would affect anybody if you died! WELL YOU SICK IDIOT YOU DID AFFECT PEOPLE!" Obito cried punching the dirt in front of the stone. He kept punching until his hands were red from the blood staining his hands. He let out a trembling breath. "You-You idiot…" Obito cried staring down at his bloodied hands.

He remembered what Kakashi had told him the night before he died. "Kakashi are you ever scared of dying?" Obito had asked. Kakashi looked at him. "I really don't care if I die." Kakashi had stated. Obito's eyes widened. "Why not?" Obito asked. Kakashi looked up at the stars. "Simple. Nobody would care." Kakashi stated. Obito gasped. "What are you talking about? Sensei, Kushina, Rin, the third, Genma, Asuma, Kurenai, Aoba, Tenzo, and I would care." Obito had argued. Kakashi shook his head. "Obito I bet that not a single tear would be shed at my funeral I'm just a jerk. Unlike you I'd rather die than let you die. You have people that need you. I'm not needed. I have no family. So Obito if it came down to it and I had to choose. I'd die and you'd live." Kakashi had stated. "You-You idiot…some genius you are…" Obito said to the tomb.
