"Oh lord Sixth do you often visit this library?" Sarada asked as she approached Kakashi who was sitting near a window reading a book.
"not often but sometimes" Kakashi answered.
"I see well now i think of it you are always reading something mind i ask what are you reading currently" Sarada asked.
"a book childrens should never read" Kakashi replied and closed his book.
"well how is your dad doing Sarada" Kakashi asked.
"oh- my dad i..i don't know" Sarada replied.
"I mean you know him he is rarely at home but he looked good back when i saw him last month" Sarada continued in a sad tone.
"hmmmm...well that's how Sasuke has always been" Kakashi hummed and said.
"yea that's what everyone says" Sarada said.
"by the way how was he back when he was young...i mean you were his Sensei right Lord sixth" Sarada asked.
"ah your dad...he was definitely like you" Kakashi said with a smile.
"like me? yea i refuse to believe it" Sarada said.
"aree?-" Kakashi flinched.
"anyways sorry to bother you should continue your reading bye Lord Sixth" Sarada said.
"yep bye bye" Kakashi replied and waved.

Kakashi then left from the window...

Meanwhile*
At Hokage Office...

"huh strange murder? happened in the village...okay hold up their Hokage-sama i know i might have had a history of killing people but that doesn't mean you'll blame me for every single murder that happens in this village." Orochimaru said.
"let him complete first" Sasuke said.
"yea you need my help?" Orochimaru said.
"ye-a" Naruto grunted.
"what are you going crazy again?" Sasuke hissed.
"what do you mean?" Orochimaru questioned.
"Nothing let's just go to the scene already" Naruto interfered.

At the Murder Scene...

"Interesting" Orochimaru murmured.

Orochimaru saw 3 dead bodies.
one was of an old man.
second his son's and third his son's wife's.

It was a big room and the son's body was placed near a wall with his back and head straight like it was glued to the wall and his eyes was in his both hands...and on the opposite side of the wall it was his wife in same position and condition...meanwhile the old man his dad was also placed in the same position on another wall and to his opposite was no one but a drawing of a kid made of blood which was still unidentified.

"well anybody found the kid or his body?" Orochimaru questioned.
"no we couldn't" Naruto replied.
"you sure you searched for him properly and besides why bring me into this if you don't even suspect me i mean this could be a work of any crazy psycho out their" Orochimaru said.
"yes i am sorry about this but we have no one available currently i mean almost everyone's on a mission and few who are left i don't think can be helpful" Naruto replied.
"huhhhhh...that's why you need my help what about you two?...okay it's still understandable about the Hokage but what about you Sasuke-kun" Orochimaru asked.
"i am here can't you see me" Sasuke replied.
"sorry sorry i thought you were just going to leave me here alone" Orochimaru apologized sarcastically.
"yes i am" Sasuke said and left.
"I-I I am sorry Orochimaru-san it's just Sasuke haven't seen his family from a month now and he should be with them so please can you handle this alone i am actually trusting you with this so please Orochimaru-san" Naruto pleaded.
"hmm alright Hokage-sama" Orochimaru said.

Naruto left the house and just as he left he saw Kakashi coming towards him.
"Yo Naruto" Kakashi greeted.
"Kakashi-sensei what are you doing here?" Naruto asked.
"Just heard from one of the police officer about the Murder and since Sai is on a Vacation so I thought maybe i can help with something" Kakashi said with his usual smile.
"No- I mean you are retired you should be resting nowad-"
"oye oye are you saying that i am too old Naruto" Kakashi interrupted Naruto.
"No no no Kakashi-sensei it's just- nevermind but you should know that Orochimaru's in the house" Naruto said.
"Orochimaru...i see i see" Kakashi said.
"well then see ya Kakashi-sensei" Naruto left.
"see ya" Kakashi said went inside the house.

"How nice Lord Sixth is here" Orochimaru greeted Kakashi.
"Orochimaru...you know i am already little concerned that you did this" Kakashi replied seeing the horrifying scene.
"why are ya all so mean to me." Orochimaru said.
"and that's a very horrible painting you made on that wall" Kakashi said.
"i didn't do it" Orochimaru protested.
"naah i can smell it...the blood of your hands" Kakashi said.
"yes i just touched that painting and it was little wet" Orochimaru said as he lifted his hand to show the drying blood on his fingers.
"So what's your conclusion...where could be the kid" Kakashi said.
"ignorant, so like Hokage" Orochimaru responded.
"anyways i can't really smell or see the traces of kid's blood anywhere else" Kakashi said as he explored a little.
"yea i belive the killer took the kid elsewhere and then came back to draw this after killing him or who knows maybe he is still alive... don't know but i am pretty sure he wants us to look for the kid" Orochimaru explained.
"well yea but why do this to the rest of the family members...look at them look at their hands that's a lot of blood...they were probably forced to take their eyes themselves with their own hands and ofcourse they did it cuz he was probably holding the little kid as a hostage" Kakashi said.
"he forces them go blind then kills them, takes the kid elsewhere and comes back to paint this" Orochimaru said.
"yea i- i get it now" Kakashi chuckled.
"what?" Orochimaru question.
"He is mocking us" Kakashi stated.
"us?" Orochimaru said.
"all of us...this is a game for him" Kakashi said.
"a game...intersting" Orochimaru said as he licked his lips.

They both began to inspect the other bodies more closely hoping to find more clues.
"hmm hey Lord Sixth the women...where are her eyes pointing?" Orochimaru asked.
"centre of the roof" Kakashi said.
"same as the father and the grandfather" Orochimaru said.
"i see" Kakashi said.
they inspected the roof and found a page hidden inside it.
"what is it" Orochimaru asked as Kakashi began to read.
"it's a location outside the village,. wanna tag along" Kakashi invited Orochimaru.
"stop acting like you are the one in charge." Orochimaru hissed.
"yare yare" Kakashi responded.

Outside of the village!
An old person was sitting next to a boy who was unconscious and laying on the ground.
He, he wasn't a he rather she , looked like he was expecting someone.

"Greetings." She greeted as She saw two stronge figures landing infront of her.
"didn't expected an old lady" Orochimaru said.
"i didn't expected Lord Sixth and the most heinous criminal in the history of shinobi era either" She replied.
"sorry do i know you?" orochimaru asked.
"who are you?" Kakashi questioned.
"I am this boy's grandmother and yes I did it, everything it was me just me" She confessed.
"but why?" Kakashi asked.
"to create a good news that would attract peoples attention" She said.
"what?" Kakashi and Orochimaru both were confused.
"look we will talk about it later but first hand over the kid, you know you can't possibly run from us" Kakashi said.
"Oh yes okay...wait where is he?" The kid vanished like he was never there.
"wha-" Orochimaru was confused again.
"what did you do to him" So was Kakashi.
they both armed themselves.
"damn it is this a genjutsu"! Kakashi said.
"i don't think so I can't really sense any chakra not even from her" Orochimaru said.
"okay okay easy i was just joking...Calm down there's no need to armed yourself i am not going to hurt anyone i am just here to show you the Reality" She said calmly.
"what reality?" Orochimaru questioned.
"My my first you should calm down and listen to me" She insisted.
"and why would we do that" Orochimaru said.
"because i don't have enough time and i need to tell you two something... something that might break you mentally...but still it's important so listen to me" she said.
"okay just..just make it quick" Kakashi said.
they both lowered their guard.
"you seriously agreed after i said that might break you mentally...nice thank you" she thanked.
"you are not going to talk about me right" Orochimaru joked.

"No".
"now what if i told you this world.....is not even real..you are not real" She said.
"what?" Orochimaru questioned.
"yes none of this is real come hold my hands and you will be known to every single secret of this world" She said.
Hesitantly they both came closer to her and both of them hold her hands and in less than a second Kakashi's tears began falling from his eyes and Orochimaru was too stunned to even move.

they stayed like that for awhile until...
"Now before i go i offer you another chance in life to live...i can send you back into your past's self however since their's a big age difference between you two i can't send you two separately and ofcourse even that depends on you two if you want to go you i am here and if you don't it's your choice" She said.
"what do you mean by seperately?" orochimaru asked.
"i mean i can only send both of you at the same time and that is only after Kakashi was born Orochimaru...if i am sending Kakashi when he was a kid then you would be an adult in that timeline" She explained.
"i see do you want to go Kakashi" Orochimaru asked.
"yes i want yes please i want to i want to go when i was in academy and please after my father's death.... please after his death i-i don't wanna see him like that again" Kakashi said panicking.
"you could save him Kakash-"
"I DON'T WANT TO SAVE HIM IT WAS HIS CHOICE...IT WAS HIS FUCKING CHOICE AND I-i don't care anyway...anymore. i mean he was never real i am not real you are not real so wh-why the fuck it even matters" Kakashi interrupted Orochimaru but was still panicking.
"Calm down Kakash-"
"No you Calm down" Kakashi interrupted the old lady.
"why we why did you choose we" Kakashi said.
"us" Orochimaru corrected.
"i didn't choose you i was simply going to choose whoever comes looking for the kid and luckily it was you Kakashi and you are also okay Orochimaru. and also just so you guys know that kid wasn't real neither was the rest of the family" She explained.
"ouch"
"I seeeeee....well whatever fuck it, you ready Orochimaru" Kakashi said.
"yes i guess i am" Orochimaru said.
"Well I hope i see you guys again...bye bye" A bright light emerged from the surrounding and all three of them vanished.
