Sasuke-kakashi Encounter Part 2 (Eng)

“Welcome home, Sasuke" kakashi said groaning by the damage, before disappearing with a “Poof” sound.

"I was already thinking it was a Shadow clone” Sasuke moved his sword down, looking at his side.

"It's not easy to kill you either" Kakashi mused, as he moved towards him with hands in his pockets. “But now I think we will need reinforcements to move these unconscious people to Konoha” He said looking down at the shinobi.

Thinking he wouldn’t get attacked again, Sasuke didn't respond, and just sheathed his sword under his cape.

"I'm sorry Sasuke, but it was something I had to do" He looked at him again "Someone took your image and is causing havoc at the border between our country and the Sand one" He started to explain.

Sasuke just looked at him attentively. It was clear that it was a big problem for him. “Because of this I had to force you to use the Rinnegan. There is only one person who can use it in the world, and it is you"

"And you force me with attempts to kill me?" Sasuke replied.

"If you were the impostor, I would've killed you, and problem solved. If you were the real one, and you die...well, I have to admit you would've disappointed me" He scratched his chin "Naruto and Sakura would've killed me probably, but I knew that wasn't going to happen.” He finished, confirming the trust in him.

Sasuke let out an “hmph”: He found it hilarious. But he appreciated the recognition.  "But now that I confirmed you are the ‘real sasuke’ You should know that I can't allow you to enter the village, for the danger that this situation would cause" He took out a parchment and handed it to him. "So I command you to complete this new mission; you have to capture your impostor, and solve the problem to avoid any more deeds in your name. I’ve gotten a request granted by the other nations… a little time in your favor to avoid being in the “bingo” book again. You only have three days to fix it. All the information needed is in your parchment."

“ I understand-“ Sasuke responded, picking it up "I'll go then."

"Wait, there is something else you need to know" Kakashi stopped him "This problem involves Sakura too, so I will send her with Naruto to the ravenous point that I gave you to support the mission, like ‘team 7’."

"Why does it involve Sakura?" This time Sasuke turned around and looked at his face. "Because the impostor wants to reach her through you" He replied seriously for the first time, looking at Sasuke's eyes "Not only does this impostor wants to get your attention killing in your name, but he also has other reasons to look for Sakura.

Kakashi pulled out a picture and threw it at Sasuke. He took a glance at it and was shocked by what he saw.

The picture was a painting of a pretty girl, with a maladjusted kimono that fell from her shoulders. Her long pink hair cascaded gracefully past her shoulders and covered over her breasts. Her eyes were empty and sad, even with the light that iluminated her in the features.

Sasuke's heart stopped. It was the girl that showed up in his dreams frequently...but he had never seen his face with that much clarity… it was Sakura's face.

“Sakura...?" - He said lowly

“She is not Sakura" Kakashi corrected him "We don’t know who she is, but is a picture on a very old canvas. It was found in an altar under the sand of Gaara's country. It was full of ritualistic items. What is clear, is that Sakura is the main target. For obvious reasons, only you can have this information. So I ask you to not reveal this when you encounter Sakura and Naruto."

“It's not necessary to send her… nor Naruto. I can deal with it alone. I won't let them get close to Sakura or the village "-He turned again to leave.

"-I think I shouldn't repeat myself, but I will do it anyway... Sakura is a danger for

Konoha at this moment, just like you. The best place that Sakura can be is with you and Naruto."

“I don’t see that this issue could mean a real danger for Konoha, or that it could cause a war between the five nations."

“And what if I told you..." Kakashi paused. "That this has something to do with Otsutsuki clan?"

“Where did you get that information?” Sasuke questioned after a prolonged silence, giving Kakashi his attention again.

"I only have a little clue about that, and I haven't been able to check it... But I will soon. The only thing I can tell you is that the painting has to do with Kaguya Otsutsuki." Confused, Sasuke looked at the picture again, and he wondered if his dreams that had recently had something to do with all of this.

"I will investigate this more " Sasuke promised "I won't let it reach Sakura, so don't send her" Sasuke said, walking towards the forest.

Kakashi let out a sigh. Sasuke didn't stop being Sasuke...

"One more thing before you run for the worries that haunt you."

The comment annoyed Sasuke who continued walking and ignored it.

"I might not have the Sharingan, but I’m older and more experienced in jutsus. It's important for this mission that you distinguish yourself from the impostor. So I left a seal in your left leg."

In what moment did he do that?

Sasuke looked at a little hole in his pants. A small seal appeared like a tattoo on his skin.

"It will activate instantly -" Kakashi said calmly " If you don't cut your hair to differentiate yourself from the impostor, the seal will do it for you, leaving you bald for some time."

-"What?!" - Sasuke turned around suddenly towards Kakashi.

“Well, after saying this… bye! " Kakashi said goodbye with his hand, and with a “poof”, he disappeared
