Chapter 8: 8 Enlightened White Fang
Holding the Paper, Kakashi arrived outside his father's room.
Knock...
"Father there's a message for you" after hesitating for a moment Kakashi knocked on the door calling his father.
After a few seconds a slight gloomy and tired voice sounded from the room.
"Come in"
Opening the door Kakashi went inside and saw the whole dark room with some light pouring from the window revealing a figure sitting at the corner with his head down.
Arriving in front of his father Kakashi hesitated for a moment whether to tell of the matter earlier.
"What's the matter Kakashi" a voice sounded pulling Kakashi out of his thoughts.
"Father... this... someone left a message for you" said Kakashi a bit nervous showing him the letter.
Sakumo raised his head revealing the blank eyes that seemed to have lost their luster.
Taking the letter from Kakashi's hand, Sakumo opened the letter, reading it a bit absentminded.
"Mr. Sakumo"
"Whatever the village says, for me you have done the most heroic deed"
"Those who break the rules in Ninja world are considered scum"
But...
"Those who Abandon their companions are worse then scum"
"Remember Death means end, only living has infinite possibilities"
"Akagami Shanks"
Kakashi saw his father reading the letter and stood aside, but soon he noticed the lost luster started appearing in his father eyes as his father hand's started trembling and tears fell from his eyes but he had a smile on his face.
"No matter who you are" said Sakumo in tears as he continued saying "But you have my thanks" saying that he stood up his face full of confidence leaving the letter on ground.
"Let's go and eat something Kakashi" said Sakumo to his son patting him on his shoulder as he left the room.
Kakashi seeing his father who changed so much in an instant was stunned and looked towards the letter.
After hesitating for a while, Kakashi finally picked it up and started reading.
"Those who abandon their comrades are worse then scum" Kakashi muttered in his mouth as his confused mind from earlier whether to chose task or a companion finally had an answer.
"Akagami Shanks I remember you" said Kakashi as a smile appeared under his mask as he went outside to eat with his father who was waiting for him.

Root Underground Base,
"You're all elites that I have cultivated with so much effort, but now you are telling me that you all lost the ability to fight in an instant" said Danzo with disbelief as he couldn't understand who had the ability to do such a thing.
"Will it be White Fang" a Root member said as they were near his house at that moment.
"If he had that ability our Konoha would have been invincible long ago" said Danzo with disdain.
"Try to investigate every person there and find out who it is" ordered Danzo to his man as they flashed away.
"You can't hide for long" said Danzo viciously as he disappeared in the darkness.

Hokage Office
Since Danzo got the news there was no way Sarutobi won't.
"Be sure to search for every clue around that area" told Sarutobi to the Anbu in front of him who informed him of the situation earlier.
After the Anbu left, Sarutobi stood in front of the window thinking hard.
"First that spy and now this, is it the same person?" thought Sarutobi as he for the first time felt that things were out of his control.
"I hope you're not an enemy otherwise..." said Sarutobi coldly looking at the village in front.

After a few days, the talk about White Fang came to an end, making Danzo frustrated who thought White Fang would at least attack villagers in anger but nonetheless his purpose was achieved to reduce his reputation.
"Looks like it worked" Kozuki who saw the talk about White Fang coming to an end and no news of his death, knew immediately that his method had worked.
He might be searching for Shanks said Kozuki laughing as he just used his name on a whim but he knew that White Fang might be looking for him.

A Month later, another shocking news spread throughout the village.
"Hey did you hear it..."
"Yeah! White Fang Son Kakashi he became a Chunin...."
"6 years old Chunin hiss...."
Everyone was horrified by his talent, Sakumo was grateful for the person who saved him indirectly otherwise he won't be able to see his son's success.
"Damn! both Father and Son are annoying" Danzo cursed after learning the news.
Sarutobi was happy since Konoha had hope of another powerhouse in the future.
In Ninja Academy students made Kakashi there role model but, Kozuki didn't care as he made full use of this time at the school to make himself as strong as he can.
