Chapter 20: New possibilities.
As he looked at the trio that had just arrived, he analyzed them, a woman's appearance, way of dressing and makeup sent messages.
Women were more subtle than men, they chose the smallest details of their image to inform what they wanted.
They knew how to dress up and act the right way on occasions.
Kakashi realized that they were not like the other sorceresses he had seen in the illusion world.
The three were beautiful women without a doubt, but their beauty was more mature and sober.
Unlike most sorceresses who chose to maintain their appearance, like young people in their early 20 years, with a youthful beauty.
They chose to maintain their appearance until around 30 years of age, which gave them an appearance that represented more wisdom, intelligence and authority.
Tissaia with beautiful dark hair, well combed, and bright eyes like dark jewels and thin lips, without lipstick.
She showed the appearance of a mature woman and knew, her posture and features showed her seriousness and power.
With a thin body, but with a healthy appearance, Tissaia was recognized by all the Kingdoms due to her influence.
Her beautiful appearance conveyed the image of purity and sobriety, however Tissaia hid a much more turbulent and complex interior.
Wearing an outfit that conveyed her high position at school, Tissaia was dressed in formal, well-aligned clothes.
She was a woman who took her responsibility as an educator very seriously. Tissaia always wanted the best for her students and for the Brotherhood, even if these interests were sometimes conflicting.
That's why sometimes she found herself trapped in a dilemma that was difficult to get out of, just like this case where she was trapped.
Between her affection for Yennefer and the possible benefits that manipulating Kakashi could bring to the Brotherhood, she didn't know what to do.
This choice could affect the lives of all Sorceresses, a person with awakened ancestral blood could be a great ally or a great threat to them.
Even with this internal conflict, Tissaia conveyed the image of a respected educator and leader.
Next to her was Margarita, the other dean of Arentuza's school, a woman whose beauty was comparable to Yennefer's.
Margarita had beautiful wavy blonde hair, her beautiful honey-colored eyes, attracting everyone's eyes.
She gave the image of the ideal woman to marry, her appearance showed tenderness and kindness, the perfect image for men with more conservative ideas.
Her body gave the image of perfection, with proportions so perfect that it put even the most beautiful women to shame.
At the sight of her perfect body, envy would arise even in the marble statues of goddesses and nymphs.
Wearing a lighter outfit, which showed a little more of her beautiful body, her clothes went over her beautiful and slim features, enhancing her beauty.
A true calm and serene beauty, Margarita had the image of a warm and caring teacher.
Having no interest in politics, Margarita was only interested in keeping Tissaia and Philippa's power balanced.
Her objective was to control and reduce factional fights within the school and the Brotherhood.
Margarita cares deeply about her school and students, she loved them as if they were family.
Lastly, Kakashi looked at Philippa, a beautiful woman for sure, her beauty was perculiar, Kakashi was not used to her type of beauty.
Philippa didn't have the same level of beauty as Yennefer and Margarita, her type of beauty was different from those two.
Yennefer had a refined beauty with perfect proportions, both in her face and body.
Margarita had a more modest and warm beauty, her face had warmer and gentler features.
Her body had the same perfection as Yennefer's body, she had a beauty that most men preferred.
Philippa, on the other hand, had an almost wild beauty, a woman who aroused people's desires, her appearance attracted both men and women.
Leaving her dark black hair loose in picturesque disarray, her hairstyle strangely matched her face, increasing her attractiveness.
With strong features, her face showed extraordinary confidence, Philippa knew how to enhance her charms.
Unlike the aggressiveness of her hair, Philippa applied makeup carefully, softening her features a little.
With beautiful black eyes, as dark as the night sky, she had beautiful red lips that caught Kakashi's attention.
With a beautiful face and body, Philippa was a mature and seductive beauty.
Her body wasn't as perfectly proportioned as Margarita's, she had a more robust body, with small fats in the right places.
With a larger waist, breasts and ass than Yennefer, she wore an outfit that fit her body perfectly.
This only made her appear more attractive to some people, even the shape of her walk showed her attractiveness.
Her little imperfections combined, giving Philippa a different kind of beauty, a more natural beauty.
In fact, her type of beauty was what attracted Kakashi the most, being with Yennefer who was a person who had an almost ethereal beauty.
He got used to a beauty that didn't seem natural, it was a perfection that didn't match humans.
Kakashi was always surrounded by these beautiful women, Konoha had many girls who were more beautiful than most Sorceresses.
So much so that they seemed to have been hand-drawn by a great artist, even though they had different characteristics, they were very beautiful.
Then finding a person with beauty like Philippa, who, even with her imperfections, was still very beautiful.
It gave Kakashi a different feeling, her flaws attracted him, she wasn't perfectly proportioned.
She had a more human beauty, different from the other sorceresses who had a level of perfection that seemed like something manufactured.
But Kakashi didn't let that influence him, it actually only made him more wary of Philippa.
Wearing black agate jewelry that matched the color of her hair and eyes, it seemed like she was as vain as Yennefer.
That she never goes anywhere without being completely dressed up, always wearing her characteristic colored clothes.
As Kakashi watched them, they did the same to him, analyzing him from top to bottom.
His unusual appearance caught their attention, Kakashi had very different features from the inhabitants of that world.
So much so that they didn't even recognize most of his facial features, to them he seemed from another world.
Margarita putting on a warm smile, approached Kakashi, she squatted down and touched his head.
"What a beautiful young man, my name is Margarita, but you can call me Aunt Rita, what's her name?"
Gently passing her hand over Kakashi's head, she continued her presentation.
"The one over there with the serious face is Tissaia, she may seem serious, but she is actually very kind, she is a good person despite her appearance."
Points to Philippa, Margarita continues.
"The other one with expensive clothes is called Philippa, don't let her appearance fool you, she's not afraid of getting dirty."
Using a more friendly tone, Margarita wanted Kakashi to feel at ease.
A boy the age Kakashi looked was generally calm, facing completely new situations.
They used to get overwhelmed and close themselves off until they got to know the people and the place better.
Margarita wanted him to open up to her, so it would be easier for them to find out the information they wanted.
"Nice to meet you Margarita, you can call me Kakashi."
Kakashi spoke with confidence and maturity that a child his age shouldn't have, which left Margarita confused.
She has encountered more mature children before, as a result of trauma and abuse, however these children were very reclusive and suspicious, they did not show Kakashi's trust.
As he looked into Margarita's face, Kakashi noticed her confused expression.
He thought about acting like a simple child, but that was discarded as it would be unbearable.
Seeing them wanting to gain his sympathy by acting like a child, he didn't know how long this treatment would take, but Kakashi didn't want to spend weeks or even months being treated like a child.
Deciding to show maturity, he could also ask for more effective and faster treatments, even if they hurt or were uncomfortable.
Tissaia was the only one who wasn't completely taken by surprise, she had already noticed the strange maturity that the boy showed.
Margarita soon recovered, he put a gentle smile on his face and went back to talking to Kakashi.
"Kakashi, you look very mature, how old are you?"
"I'm five years old, I'm going to turn six in two months on September 15th."
Confirming that he was just a boy and not a dwarf, Margarita continued to be surprised by the boy's maturity.
Yennefer interrupted their conversation a little, turning to Tissaia, she asked her question.
"Tissaia, did you come to start Kakashi's treatment?"
Nodding Tissaia replied, "Yes, I brought them so they could get to know each other, that way it would be easier for them to treat his condition."
As they didn't know Kakashi's true age, the three decided to see how he acted, to find out the best way to get closer to him.
With this visit they would decide how long the treatment would take to be carried out, the three of them would only finish after they managed to get closer to him.
That was the goal from the beginning, to confirm whether or not he was of ancestral blood and then gain Kakashi's trust.
"As already presented, we can return to his room, and begin to better analyze the boy's condition."
Yennefer nodded and they went back to their room, when they got there both Margarita and Philippa placed their hands on Kakashi's body.
They went to check his physical condition, at the same time as they investigated the strange energy that Tissaia told them about.
'This energy is something new for me, Tissaia was right, the chances of this boy being someone with ancestral blood are huge'.
Margarita, completely lost in her thoughts as she felt that new energy, trying to decipher its mysteries.
Philippa on the other hand had other thoughts in mind, even though she was immense in this discovery and wanted to discover its mysteries.
She was more focused on bringing Kakashi to her side, she knew that many before her had tried to figure out how to utilize the weights of the ancestors, but had never been successful.
So the best option in this case would be to bring this person with immense potential to your side, and control him in a way that doesn't force you.
With the power that the ancient blood demonstrated, Philippa knew that they could do things that would be impossible for the Sorceresses.
They said they could control space by traveling between kingdoms, some said they even had power over time.
His powers were enviable and dangerous, the enemies of the ancient blood had little chance of saving themselves.
That's why Philippa was determined to do whatever was necessary to control Kakashi and gain his trust.
The place that Yennefer seemed to occupy, she wanted and Philippa would do everything to get it.
After analyzing him, the two gave their diagnosis that it was similar to Tissaia's, that the boy had elemental energy in his body and that this was slowly killing him.
Tissaia turned to Yennefer and said, "No need to worry, first we will check all the affected organs and then we will gradually remove this energy."
Showing off a strange piece of equipment, Tissaia continued.
"Philippa brought me this, it helps locate traces of magic and elemental energy, when she finds this energy, the place with energy turns blue."
Looking at Kakashi, Tissaia instructed him.
"I'm going to need the boy to take off his clothes, I want to run the equipment all over his body, to check where all the remains are."
Yennefer wanted to argue that it wasn't necessary, but she knew that would be strange, as she didn't have a good reason for it, her attitude would make the three of them suspicious.
But even so, Yennefer didn't want them to see the scars on Kakashi's body, as that would lead to questions, which would be difficult to answer.
Looking at Yennefer, Kakashi noticed his strangeness and realized her reason, so she waited for his confirmation.
If she didn't want to he would refuse, but Yennefer gave a hesitant nod, so Kakashi did as Tissaia asked.
Kakashi undressed in front of them showing his body, he was stripped to his underwear, even his mask and bandana were removed.
Some scars and light burn marks were seen spread across his body, the wounds that Kakashi received in battles in this world left marks on his body.
Yennefer tried to make her scars disappear, but the spells and portions of it did not have the effect waiting on Kakashi's body.
Magic and portions that tried to alter his body were strongly rejected by his chakra, Kakashi's body understood this energy as a virus.
His body attacked the elemental energy, as if it were a virus that had to be expelled from his body, so the best Yennefer could do was accelerate the regeneration power in Kakashi's body.
She could heal her wounds, however body modifications, such as removing imperfections or modifying her body appearance, were very complicated to do.
Even managing to soften and improve the appearance of scars and small burns on Kakashi's body, they were still visible.
With enough time Yennefer would be able to make them disappear, she was committed to removing the marks from her body.
Yennefer felt guilty every time she looked at them, since all those scars were obtained while he was protecting her.
Unlike her, Kakashi didn't care about the scars, it was normal among shinobi to have a body with several scars.
As they looked at Kakashi's body, the three were taken by surprise, a body that size with such injuries was sad.
They didn't expect to see that Kakashi's body was in that state, with all those scars and burns.
None of the three had ever seen so many scars on such a young boy before.
Not even experienced soldiers had that many scars and burns on their bodies.
Just imagine the pain and suffering that little boy had to go through to have his body like that.
It softened even the hardest hearts of the three, they believed that the boy had been mistreated or tortured.
His wounds were spread all over his body, they ranged from the scar on his face, to his arms, legs, chest, belly and back.
Leaving a doubt about how they happened.
The image of a 5-year-old boy's body covered in scars would leave anyone who wasn't a complete psychopath sensitized.
Observing this, Philippa finally understood the strange maturity that the boy demonstrated.
Kakashi had been forced to mature by his circumstances, his scars showed it, he was no longer a boy.
The boy's body in front of him demonstrated the pain and suffering he suffered.
Philippa realized that she could not try to get closer to him, as if he were a simple child.
'This boy, it's going to be difficult to really get close to him, he won't trust someone easily, I have to go subtle.'
Realizing that they were impacted by what they saw.
Kakashi saw pity and compassion on their faces, he knew he could use that fact to his advantage.
"You don't need to feel bad about that, those scars don't bother me anymore."
He made their sympathy for him increase, they were feeling more than sorry for Kakashi.
The three were thinking about the choices they made, they felt guilty, the path to the top was full of dead bodies and suffering.
Many attitudes taken by them for their own benefit were considered cruel and inhumane.
They have all killed people, or made choices that could have caused death and suffering.
They raised orphans and widows along the way, people who would suffer the death of their relatives.
The way the three were feeling was hypocritical and they knew it, but they couldn't help but feel bad at the sight.
Making these choices and not observing the damage caused did not affect them, since for them, people were just numbers.
However, the suffering of a small child in front of him was completely different.
Even if it was hypocritical, that was how humans acted, only caring when problems appeared in front of them.
This sometimes rethinks their attitudes and choices, even if they felt bad, the three of them would not have changed their choices.
It was only through these choices that they arrived, where they were with all this power and influence.
Even if they cared, few were willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of others, most people would climb to the top, even if they had to step on a mountain of dead bodies.
What mattered in the end was your comfort and protection, others were less important.
Noticing the atmosphere that had suddenly become heavy, Yennefer waited for their reaction.
Yennefer didn't say anything and just watched them, she knew that no matter what she said, nothing could change this shock, only time would help.
She was shocked the first time she saw Kakashi's scars, even though Yennefer knew he was an adult trapped in a child's body.
It was difficult not to associate the image he saw in his eyes with a child.
Her feelings were heightened when she realized that Kakashi's injuries were her fault, which made her feel ashamed and guilty about it.
Even Tissaia was caught off guard by that sight, she was completely surprised by it.
Looking at Kakashi, she began to think what could cause those injuries, most of the injuries she had no idea how it could have happened.
Not knowing what to say, Tissaia looked at the two for help, Philippa introduced herself and I took advantage of this opportunity.
Philippa saw the chance to be alone with Kakashi, using this to learn a little and get ahead in this dispute.
Looking at Tissaia, she said, "Tissaia, why don't you, Margarita and Yennefer go to the other room to talk, while I stay here and use the equipment on the boy."
"This way you can have some time alone to ask the necessary questions, at the same time that young Kakashi's treatment will begin."
Even though they were reluctant to leave Kakashi alone with Philippa, the three agreed, and left the room heading towards Tissaia's room.
Arriving there after closing the door, they had already thought a little about what they would ask.
The first of the three to speak was Margarita, turning to Yennefer, she glared at her fiercely.
"Yennefer, how did this boy get like this? What inhumane treatment did he go through?"
Margarita was furious, she wanted to know who gave Kakashi those scars.
Tissaia were also curious to know more about how the boy got those scars, but she didn't interrupt them.
"It's not like you're imagining, he wasn't tortured or mistreated, Kakashi got these scars in battles."
Her statement didn't calm her down, because it didn't matter if it was due to mistreatment or if he won them in battle.
She wasn't satisfied with the situation, Margarita wanted to know more about her scars.
"Yennefer, your statements don't make sense, for a boy his age to have so many battle scars, the math doesn't add up."
Very shaken by what she saw, Margarita was emphatic.
"Calm down a little Margarita, there is no reason for Yennefer to lie to us."
Trying to calm the situation a little, Tissaia appeases her old friend.
She knew that Margarita was quite emotional at times, so much so that he would make hasty decisions when she was taken over by her emotions.
Her personality was ideal for a teacher and mother, as she cared a lot about people.
But for someone in her position it was a huge character flaw, she had to be calmer and colder when making decisions.
Calming Margarita down a little, so that this argument wouldn't escalate, Tissaia wanted to appease her.
"Calm down Margarita, Yennefer is not to blame for the boy's scars, can't you see her eyes when she looks at the boy?"
Calming down a little, Margarita began to remember the eyes that Yennefer used to look at Kakashi.
They were eyes that showed great affection and love.
"Yennefer cares a lot about Kakashi, so let's not blame her for something she didn't do."
Margarita looked at Yennefer, "I'm sorry Yennefer, I got too emotional and blamed you unfairly."
Tissaia turning her gaze to Yennefer, "Do you know anything about the boy's family?"
Nodding Yennefer continued, "I haven't met them, but Kakashi told me that he lost his parents very early."
Tissaia looked at her seriously, showing the seriousness of the situation.
"Yennefer I trust you, but you have to understand that we are going to need answers."
Yennefer's head ached with stress, which this small action of undressing Kakashi caused.
Even though they knew that if they saw Kakashi's scars, the three of them would be curious and ask questions.
But she didn't imagine things would escalate to this magnitude, Yennefer hadn't prepared herself for this conversation.
She didn't imagine that Kakashi's treatment would cause him so many problems.
Deciding what she would say to them, Yennefer made her action plan.
"Okay Tissaia, what would you like to know?", she wanted to find out their doubts.
"First we need you to tell us how you two met."
Showing confidence Yennefer began to report.
"You know I was looking for a way to cure my infertility."
The two were paying attention to Yennefer's words, watching if she would give any contradictory information.
"I heard about a powerful wizard who lived near Rinde, I wanted to investigate for anything that could help me have a child."
Remembering somewhat happily about that day, it changed her life and Yennefer was grateful for it.
She reported that when she arrived at the place where the sorceresses kept their research.
A golem that was resistant to magic attacked her, putting her in a complicated situation.
"That's when I found Kakashi, he heard the noise and came over, he saved me and helped me defeat the golem."
The two were still very confused by the events, the reports did not seem true.
They couldn't imagine how a small boy could face a golem.
That even a sorceress of Yennefer's level was having difficulty facing.
"Not that I want to distrust your words, but it's hard to believe that a boy helped you face a golem."
Tissaia agreed with Margarita, however she did not voice her doubts.
Yennefer knew it would be difficult to convince them just by talking, she would have to show them something.
Even though he didn't like them finding out about Kakashi's abilities right now.
Ideally, they would find out after Kakashi became an adult, and returned to his peak of power.
However, Yennefer knew that it would be good to gain the support and protection of the Brotherhood.
And with Kakashi's abilities, Tissaia would see her capabilities and offer her protection against anyone who would do her harm.
Then she would discuss it with Kakashi so that they could both come to the best possible decision.
Even though she knew that if she decided to get even closer to the Brotherhood, Kakashi would accompany her.
Yennefer decided not to take advantage of her trust, she would talk about the burdens and bonuses of this decision.
Letting him decide what he wants to do to resolve this situation, their conversation lasted a little longer.
