"What if ... What if Konoha and her world existed nowadays, wars and clans and hidden villages a part of her rich past? What if the ninja traditions slipped in the shadows to survive? What if said ninja still existed?
My name's Hatake Kakashi. Or you can say Kakashi Hatake, European-like. I live on my own, I go to school, I have friends... and I'm a Konoha ninja. That alone shoud be enough. But war is brewing in the dark streets, gangs and cartels are moving one against the others to attract the attention of the new underground lord - and the people I held dear are starck in the middle of things."

Okay, I'm not sure if English is your 100% first language or not, but there are times in reading past chapters that word tenses and word usages are a little... not wrong... just odd... not in a bad way...
I'm trying to be not over critical here. I'm trying to help, really.
If you would like, I could go through them and change said word tense for you and send them back to you.
If you are not interested, then just ignore this.
I really do love this story. The word tense/usage thing isn't horrible, just a smidge distracting.
Again, I apologize if I have overstepped my bounds.
BTW; you're KILLING me with this whole Iruka rejecting Kashi thing... *whimper*
and now I'm worried that Itachi is working for the European district and going to KEEL THEM ALL! *weeps*
good story none the less.
Thank also for offering to beta me - the thing is that this story began about two to three years ago, and I was still learning English (I hope I improved since). Some chapters passed through betas, some did not; and to be really honest, I feel to lazy to go back through them and edit the chapters again.
Hehe - Iruka rejecting Kakashi is my answer to all those stories where they just fall into each other arms and/or where Kashi's the bastard.
Itachi working for the Europeans? ... that's a bit surprising - especially since the Europeans already know about Kakashi... but it could work I won't say more since the next chapter should adress this/those issues... maybe.
