Chapter 2
‘Where was he?'
'Why was he still alive'
Kakashi reluctantly forces his eyes to open and almost immediately regrets it
"Fuck!"
The light was blinding and his body felt like he had done one of Gai's stupidly intense training routines
Kakashi laid there for a good hour before attempting to force himself up
'Wha-'
He ends up tumbling onto the floor
Groaning he weakly began survey his injuries before his mind came to a grinding halt
He looks in disbelief at his hands

Kakashi frantically looked at his surroundings. It was his apartment, one he hadn't lived in for nearly over Two Decades

His nine year old masked face stared back
He stumbled back, his legs giving out, Kakashi collapses onto the floor

Kakashi blearily stares up at the very much ALIVE panicked face of Minato-Sensei

'Ah, so I'm in hell'
He blacks out
