Reborn As Kakashi’s Adopted Son - Chapter 25 The Return
Right now a weird seen could be shown in front of the Village hidden in the leaves because a young man of around 16 years of age stood in front of the gates.
While the ninjas that were keeping guard were looking at him weirdly after all this young boy was not even 16 but just turned 13 this boy was Robin also known as Hatake Robin. When he first came towards the village the ninja’s were alert after all it was quite weird to see a young man walking with clothes on that was basically beast skin.
This was to be expected of Robin because he had been gone for many years so he had long outgrown his old clothes and he was no expert on making them, so he just skinned some of the beasts he had killed for clothing.
(Random Ninja) “hold on who are you and what is your purpose of visiting this village”
“You don’t have to be this scared of me” Robin slowly went towards his clothes the ninja tensed on this sight because he was scared. That he was about to be attacked but what he saw then kind off stupified him Robin had taken out his Leaf belt and showed it while saying. “My name is Hatake Robin adopted son of Hatake Kakashi jonin of the hidden leaf I’m officially a genin of this village” with a smile he walked past the guard into the village.
The sight he was seeing was something he loved to see the busy streets of Konoha the beautiful buildings it was a sight he had missed he had longed for this, but the first thing he decided to do was to go tot he Hokage building.
He body flickered into the building when he was surrounded by Anbu members with their little katana’s at his throat, but they couldn’t move not even speak after all Robin had sensed them and put a couple of Ice spears at their throat. He looked around expecting to see the old man yet the only thing he saw was a middle-aged blonde woman at this point Robin realized something.
His mind was trembling the thing that was so important was forgotten the old man had died in the attack of Orochimaru Robin was so focused on getting his own strength to a higher level that he totally forgot about it.
A couple of tears could be seen escaping his eyes the emotion he felt right now was something his elements couldn’t even suppress. What he didn’t know was that because of this heartache he awakened the next stage of his Darkness element but right now he didn’t care.
Even if he acted like he didn’t like the old man he knew deep down that the man cared for him and would put his life on the line to save him. And Robin knew it would happen yet he couldn’t prevent it this was something he hated more than anything. After calming down since his emotions forced him to after a couple of seconds, he looked at the women in front of him.
The middle-aged women was, of course, Tsunade the Fifth Hokage of the Village hidden in the leaves she had never seen this boy before, but something told her not to attack him.
“Who are you” this is what Tsunade really wanted to know
“I’m Hatake Robin adopted son of Kakashi I’m sorry I was on a training journey
Tsunade’s jaw dropped she had heard about him from Kakashi yet here he was the boy that nobody knew off if he would even come back stood here almost killing some of here elite Anbu’s.
“I see but why were you crying on seeing me Robin” Tsunade had an idea, but she didn’t know if it was true.
“I had heard rumors about the death of the old man yet I didn’t want to believe it, but here you are sitting in front of me this would only mean one thing.” Robin was silent after that he didn’t want to believe it he hoped she would tell him the old man was still alive after all Robin had never told the man a sincere apology for the hate he showed him.
The man had only wanted the best for Robin yet here he was an ungrateful little brat that always thought he had different motives. Robin felt that the love shown towards him was just because he was talented, but he realized something he tried to find a reason for the love shown towards him.
Because he felt he wasn’t worthy of it back, then this was something that came from his past life the hate shown towards him had made it like this self-love? That was something Robin never had in his previous life he always thought he wasn’t good enough. But right now he felt he was good enough yet he couldn’t receive it anymore from the old man and to his worst nightmare Tsunade told him what he had feared.
“I see yes Lord Third sadly passed away in the attack of Orochimaru” the look on her face was that of a pained woman that was torn between two people she cared about. She grew up alongside Jiraiya and Orochimaru being taught by Sarutobi yet one of her precious people went rogue and even killed their own teacher.
“I see, so it was the truth,” Robin said while smiling well the smile on his face couldn’t even be called a smile it was the smile of someone that felt lost.
“Where is my father right now” Robin needed to see him.
“He is at your home he will leave soon on a mission with his team,” Tsunade said
“Alright thank you” Robin undid the ice spears and body flickered away towards his home when he arrived he felt a whole lot better after all it was nostalgic to see the place where he grew up.
He felt someone attack him from behind so he created his ice domain and grabbed an ice spear ready to attack, but while he turned around, he saw the man he wanted to see most in these past few years.
Hatake Kakashi, the man that was his father Robin had thought about many people while training but Kakashi was the person he truly wanted to see the most after all he was his father the man that one hundred percent would face an entire army of Madara’s just to keep him safe. A man that would try to shield him from the ugly truths of this world.
Kakashi saw the ice domain and knew it immediately when the boy in front of him turned around his eye teared up and slowly said: “so you are back my son” while smiling he had missed him a lot and had many sleepless nights were he had the feeling that something terrible was happening to his boy.
And of course, this was true that were most likely the nights Robin fought strong beasts while putting his life on the line.
“Yes, I am dad” Robin’s bad feelings vanished seeing the sight of this man they both decided to enter their home it still looked the same very simple nothing fancy.
Robin told Kakashi about many things including his feelings about Lord third’s passing as soon as he said that he felt Kakashi put his arm on his shoulder and started to speak.
“Robin every human has an ending time Sarutobi lived a long life you know what the expected life of shinobi is? Most of them don’t even reach 30 he died fighting protecting something he truly believed in he died protecting his loved ones, his family he protected the Hidden Leaf. I think that he died happy knowing his life had a purpose it’s better to live a short life that you truly stand behind than to live a long life full of regrets.”
Robin had never thought about it like this, and because of these words the little darkness that was in his mind after the death of Lord Third disappeared and instead of the lost look a smile formed on his face “thank you, dad, but let me tell you about my experiences.”
“Cofa come out,” and like this, a little black lion opened his sleepy eyes and climbed out of his clothes and said while still sounding sleepy “are we there yet” the lion looked around and saw a familiar person he immediately fully opened his eyes and looked at Kakashi serious.
“adopt me” were the only words heard from his mouth and 2 humans were surprised by what the little lion randomly said.
“what do you mean adopt you” Kakashi knew about Cofa and that he also had the dark element but why would he want to be adopted by him?
“Well my Nii-san is Robin, so I want to become a true part of this family,” Cofa said while puffing his cheeks because his biggest annoyance these past few years was that he wasn’t adopted into the family.
Like this 2 humans started laughing at the cute sight of an allmighty lion descendant of a god beast asking a mere human to adopt him. “What are you laughing at,” Cofa asked while being annoyed.
The father and son duo stopped at the same time, and Kakashi spoke up while patting Cofa’s little head “you have been family since Robin adopted you as his brother, of course, i will officially adopt you” Kakashi said while smiling towards Cofa.
And Robin could swear that for the first time he saw Cofa look shy he was happy like this the family on 2 turned into a family of 3.
In the god’s realm Lord Darkness and his beast companion were watching this scene while smiling, “my old friend this man Kakashi is truly the best man to raise our sons” the massive lion told Lord Darkness.
“Yes indeed my son would be happy to know his little boy got such a good adoptive father,” he said while smiling.
Back in the Naruto world.
“Thank you, dad, but its time for me to meet my team,” Robin said excited he left for a couple of years without telling them so he was impatient to know if they would hate him or not.
“let’s go Cofa lets meet the girls” (Robin)
