Nigai Yuki, Aoi Sora

(Bitter Snow, Blue Skies)

苦い雪、青い空

Because I am not just limited to just NaruHina pairing, here is KakaNaru. I figured since I was not going to be able to type up a new chapter for Naruto Namikaze in a day, I would offer you another one shot. There will be no lemon in this Fic, but some referenced pairing. If it is liked enough, I might take the One Shot off and turn it into something later. But only if I get 50 Alerts to the story. So with no father adue, here is Nigai Yuki, Aoi Sora.

"RASENGAN!"

The loud echoes of the boy's voice could be heard all around followed by the crashing of his attack missing and hitting some trees. Standing up from the dust was a masked figure. "Damn it.." He said looking around, where had his target gone? Blond hair moved with the cold winds that meant winter was fast approaching. So This needed to be finished as soon as possible.

Then there was two other masked figures who caught up with the blond. They looked among each other before nodding and all set off in different directions to find where in the world their target had gone. When the young male took a quick break in the treetops to survey the situation, Naruto looked up towards the sky. He could see the dark clouds starting to move in, snow was moving in. With a sigh then turned his eyes towards the ground where a flash of light struck him and everything faded to black.

About fifty kilometers back in Konohagakure, Kakashi stood behind his desk looking out at the bleak weather. The clouds were moving in and the air seemed to have a chill about it. He had sent out an ANBU team to investigate and possibly capture a ninja from their own village that had gone rouge. But that wasn't what was on the silver haired males mind. Wishing to hear something soon, he closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against the glass.

No, ever since the ending of the Fourth Great Ninja war, Kakashi had asked a certain knucklehead if he wanted to join the ANBU ranks. He figured a few years would help him sharpen his skills as a ninja and train him in some stealth. Something the blond was not very good at. Every mission he sent Naruto out on, Kakashi would stared out the window scared. Afraid the boy would not make it back.

Then suddenly the door to the Hokage's office slammed open and Kakashi turned quickly around to see who it was. Blinking he noticed how out of breath this man was. He had to have ran straight from the message tower to here. That meant this had to be very important, was it Naruto?

"What is it?" He asked.

"Lord Sixth. The ANBU unit has been wiped out." He said looking up at the other male. "We just received a distress message from who we believe to be the only survivor; but we do not know who sent it. Much less if they are even still alive."

His worst fears. Naruto was on that Unit. But at the same time, he knew the young blond. He was not so easily beaten; which was the other reason he was asked in joining the ranks of the ANBU. "What about Sai. I sent him in that same Unit." Kakashi questioned.

"We don't know anything outside that they had been disbanded..." The other male responded. "Should we send a second unit out?"

Kakashi thought long and hard before shaking his head. "No." he said. "Wait for further instructions. Or for another message from the unit. I'll see about sending out a team of Ninja."

Great he had to send out a squad just to retrieve bodies. This was not something he really wanted to do. Why did he have to send someone out to get the young blonds possible dead body. With a heavy sigh he waved his hand at the man still standing there, telling him to get out.

With the other male dismissed from his office, Kakashi sat down at his desk and opened up one of the side drawers. "Shit." He mouthed and then abruptly leaned back against the back of the chair, his eyes staring up at the ceiling of the building. What was this feeling deep in his chest? This ache? It was something he had not felt in a very long time. It saddened him that the blond, and his favorite student, was possibly KIA. "Naruto I swear, you better not be dead..."

Abrupting his thoughts, he reached down and grabbed a book, throwing it on top of his desk as he started flipping through the pages trying to figure out who would be the best squad to send out on a retrieval mission.

He would have to wait a couple days, but Kiba and Shino would be the two best bodies to send out on this type of mission. Maybe Sakura as well for medical reasons and her brute strength. Thinking this over his sighed and then put the book away. Turning around in the chair he noticed a snowflake. It was already too late anyways, any living bodies would not be able to survive what was about to hit them, even if he could send someone out right this moment.

The Next couple days, Kakashi spent working in the office. By the afternoon of the second day he had decided to finally take a break. He was honestly too depressed, the work was helping. But he needed to talk a break, and thoughts of Naruto dying with the ANBU unit filled his head.

Stepping out of the office and walking down the winding hallway, Kakashi reached the door and stepped out and down the steps. Everything was now covered in snow. It was such a beautiful sight in his opinion, but the coldness he always could relate to. Well that was until him and Naruto started spending more time together.

Once in the streets, Kakashi put his hands deep into his pockets. Step after step he was closer to his home. Eyes focused on the ground in front of him. What was he going to do now? What was he going to do without the blond haired knuckle head that always requested not only ANBU missions, but regular standard missions as well from him. What was he going to do without Naruto constantly hanging out with him between missions.

He then heard a commotion. Looking upwards, he could have sworn the streets were quiet, he wanted to see who who was making a racket this late in the afternoon? Seeing Izumo and his partner at the gate yelling, his eyes made contact with what all the yelling was about. Kakashi froze in his tracks. Was he seeing a ghost? Was that really... who he thought it was walking through the gates? Picking up his feet, the silver haired male quickly made his way to the gates. "Naruto!" He said.

Looking up at at who was calling out to him, dull blue eyes peering through a partially broken mask. Unconscious over his shoulder was his ex-team mate and unite partner, Sai. A soft smile pursed across his lips as he closed his eyes. Feeling as his body fall forward. He had made it home. Mission complete.

By the time the boy started to fall, both Kakashi and Izumo caught both the boys before they hit the ground. Kakashi looked up behind the boy and trailed all through the snow, as far as the older male could see, was blood. "We need to get them to the hospital." He spoke up and like that, both Kakashi and Izumo had vanished and went straight to the Konoha hospital. Thankfully it was a straight shot from the entrance.

Slamming through the doors, Kakashi called out to who was at the desk, which was Sakra. She gasped, covering her mouth as she saw the condition the two ANBU ninja were in the arms of the gate keeper and their own Hokage. Running over to them, she checked out both Naruto and Sai before calling for emergency personnel to get both males straight back into the OR.

Leaving Kakashi there alone with Izumo, who soon left to go back to guarding the gate. Several hours had passed before Kakashi was even allowed to see either boy. Once he was in a room with the boy, he sat in a chair beside the young boy, his hand holding tightly to the others. This was his best friend, his ex-student, the boy who melted the bitter snow that surrounded his heart. This was Naruto, his favorite knucklehead. And things did not look good.

And that is the whole story. Terrible place to put it off, but if you really want me to continue it, add this to your Alerts. If I can get at least 50 alerts to this story, I will continue it. Have a great day!
