Kakashi woke up in a strange room, looking beside him Naruto and Sasuke were still asleep. "I guess my students brought me back to Tazuna's," he thought and attempted to sit up. Wincing from his eye still hurting he laid back down.
"Sensei?" Naruto had woken up and saw his teacher in pain.
"Ah, Naruto, sorry I didn't mean to wake you," He smiled at the boy whispering to be sure that they didn't wake Sasuke.
"Are you okay? You just passed out yesterday," Naruto walked to his teacher sitting beside him.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," he thought back, "maybe using my eye to copy all his jutsus was a little much," he thought to himself. Turning his head to the boy, "you carried me to Tazuna's?"
"Yeah, Sasuke, Sakura, and I all carried you back," Naruto smiled putting his hands behind his head. "Oh, you didn't get to eat with us last night, you must be hungry! I'll go make you something."
Before Kakashi could stop him, the boy ran out of the room, "well at least they are okay," he looks at Sasuke who sat up and looked at his Sensei. "Good morning Sasuke, thank you for carrying me back." The man smiled at the Uchiha.
"where did you get it," Sasuke glared at his Sensei, "You aren't an Uchiha so how?"
Kakashi sighed and looked at the ground, "when I was 12, my team and I were sent on a mission, my friend Obito Uchiha got crushed under some rocks." Kakashi looked at the boy with sadness growing in his eyes, "before he died, he gave me his eye to replace the one I had lost. To this day I only use this eye if I am in dire need of his help." Kakashi places his hand over his left eye.
Sasuke sat in silence looking at the floor, "I'm sorry, Sensei, I thought you were like other people and took it as a trophy during the last war."
Down the hall, Naruto was in the kitchen making breakfast for his team. "What is the Sharingan," Naruto appeared in his mindscape with the Kyuubi.
"An evil eye in the wrong hands," Kyuubi looks at the boy, "for as long as I can remember the Uchiha's have used their eyes for their own gains and have caused evil and destruction everywhere it is used."
"But Sasuke has Sharingan right?" He looks at the fox, "he doesn't use it for evil, in fact, I never have seen him use it before."
"That doesn't mean he won't use it sooner or later," the demon fox looks the boy in the eyes, "I have a bad feeling about that boy, and if he ever tries anything to harm you, I will rip his throat out."
"Aww, Kyuubi," Naruto smiles teasingly at the fox, "do you like me?"
Kyuubi looks away and growls, "I just don't want to die because of some stupid kid, by the way, that Tsunami girl is talking to you."
Naruto quickly grows conscious to the real world and notices he was standing still in the kitchen holding a whisk and bowl filled with eggs, cream, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Looking at the woman in front of him he laughs and continues whisking, "sorry Tsunami-san, I was thinking and must've got lost in thought." Naruto walked to the stove and started to heat a pan with some butter, "I hope you don't find that I borrowed your kitchen." He added the egg mixture to the pan and started to stir it making sure it didn't burn.
"No I don't mind at all, in fact, it will be nice to not cook!" she smiled and sat at the table, "what are you making Naruto-kun?"
"Scrambled eggs and furikake," He took the eggs to a plate covered in furikake he had made earlier and placed the eggs on top.
"Wow, you're a really good cook," she watched from the table with curiosity.
"I live alone so had to teach myself how to do everything, by the way, where are your bowls?" The boy turned around to Tsunami looking lost.
"Top cabinet of the left," she pointed at the said cabinet, "well you've done a good job living alone, and learning to cook will get you hitched in no time!" She let out a little laugh when she saw the boy's ears turn red.
Naruto scooped three bowls full of the food then brought the other bowls and the rest of the food to the table. "well I am going to take these to Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke-teme, please help yourself!" Naruto bowed taking the bowls and leaving, still red in the face.
Once he got back to the room Kakashi looked at the boy, "why so red?" He smiled when the boy gave a glare back.
"Well I did make you breakfast, but I guess it's all mine!" He turned to leave, huffing.
"No!" Kakashi held out a hand to the boy, "I'm sorry Naruto-kun!" He made his eyes as big as the would go and pouted until a bowl landed in his hand. He smiled and thanked the boy.
Sasuke was also handed a bowl, "I didn't know you could cook anything besides ramen, Naruto." Sasuke looked at the bowl surprised.
"Well I have been on my own my whole life," Naruto sat down glaring at both Kakashi and Sasuke, "but that doesn't mean I'm not a functional person." He started shoveling food into his mouth but stopped.
"What is it done, it not taste as good as you expected?" Sasuke grins at the boy smugly.
"No," Naruto looked at his Sensei, "do you want us to leave so you can eat? I know you always wear that mask so I don't want to impose. I'm sorry I didn't think about this earlier." The boy rubbed the back of his head smiling.
"No it's fine, I will wait till you both go to put away your dishes," Kakashi placed his bowl on the floor beside him.
Naruto stood up and walked over to Sasuke, grabbing his shirt and dragged him to the door, the Uchiha sneering and throwing insults the whole way. "Just call for me when you're done and I will come to get your dishes!" The boy then closed the door and took himself and Sasuke to the table where Tsunami and Sakura were sitting and having a discussion. Letting go of Sasuke, Naruto sat on the other side of the table and gave a good morning to the pink-haired girl.
"Dobe, I could've walked on my own," Sasuke stood up and dusted himself off. Sitting next to the other boy and took a bite of food.
"Yeah you could've, but that was fun for me," Naruto nudged the boy smiling.
"Hn," Sasuke looked away and continued eating.
"Boys," Sakura rolled her eyes before filling a bowl of her own and taking a bite, "Tsunami-san, this tastes amazing!" She turned to the woman and was confused when she shook her head.
"It was Naruto-kun, he was in here cooking when I woke up!" She picked up her bowl and also took a bite, "and you're right Sakura-chan, this is really good!"
"Wait." Sakura turned to her teammate, "you can cook?"
"Why is everyone so confused that I can cook? Of course, I can cook, I live by myself for Kami's sake!" he raised his hands in the air, one holding his food and the other chopsticks.
"Oh, I forgot," she looked down at her own food feeling guilty.
Naruto saw her look and started panicking, "sakura-chan, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you sad!" Naruto leaned over the table, "how can I fix this? What do you need?"
She laughed and looked back at the boy, "Naruto you baka, I wasn't sad because of what you thought, I was just sorry that I mentioned your living situation and was insensitive."
"It's nothing Sakura-chan," he sat back with another goofy smile, "I never got the chance to know who my parents were and no one has ever told me. What is there to be sad about if I never had it in the first place?" He looked at her slightly confused.
Sighing, she picked up her bowl, "I guess you're right." They ate with small talk until Naruto heard Kakashi call him.
When he entered the room, he picked up the bowl and was about to leave, but Kakashi stopped him, "when you and the others are done, come back in here. We have a few things to discuss." The boy nodded and went to tell the others.
