he was finally back in konohagakure after a pretty long mission ── three months spent in the land of iron for an escort doubled with something a little more dangerous had not been without any mistakes and hardship but kakashi was happy enough with the fact that other than some injuries ... they didn't lose anyone. ever since that day when he lost obito, and then rin ... let's just say the silver haired shinobi didn't trust in his capacities to lead as much as he used to.
he missed his time in anbu ... but ever since kushina gave birth, or before when his sensei gave him a whole new mission, he had not been allowed back in the organisation. while he wasn't one to question the hokage ... he certainly was unhappy about being put back in the shinobi roster, being sent on missions with other jonins and the likes once again.
another success didn't mean anything though ... not for him anyway. who knows if that was just him being lucky or whatever. for now, all he had to do was give his report to the yondaime. he could do it. it was out of habit that the man appeared at the window instead of taking the door, an eye smile plastered on his face as he bowed to the man once known as the yellow flash. ❛ i come to give my report, sen -- hokage sama. ❜ even after more than a year, it was hard to call him as such.
