"Emiko?" Naruto Called out, "We Have To Leave Now." Emiko Came running up, panting, She looked up,

"I'm Here," She said, "Lets Go!" Emiko Looked around At her Comrads as they walked out the gate, Duty called, and whenever there was Missions to do, Their team was always there!

"Alright," Kakashi-Sensei Interrupted her thoughts, "Our Mission To Escort Kaori Makoto Begins now." He Said.

"Hai!" We all answered.

Emiko, Naruto, Sai and Sakura all simply strolled down the pathway, knifes ready, trying to seem Oblivious to evrey movement around them, Evrey now-and-then, Kakashi would turn around, trying to catch who-or what was following them.

A while later, they walked pass and round puddle, It looked strangely out-of-shape...Emiko couldn't quite put her finger on it, but Something was wrong...Kakashi Whirled around and the next russle of leafs, muttered something under his breath and then turned and walked as casully as ever back down the path.

"Oi, Kaka-" Kakashi Looked over at Kaori, then nodded at sakura. Sakura then Pulled her Forehead Protector over Kaori's Mouth, and tied his arms together in order to keep him silent.

"I real-" Naruto began, But with one look over at Kakashi..., "Never mind." He fineshed more quietly this time. Kakashi Nodded. All of a sudden, Kurinis were flying in the air, aimed for Kakashi! Naruto immediately jumped in to the battle, pulled out his Knifes, and caught all the Kurinis before the hit the opponent; As he looked over at Kakashi with a Huge grin on his face, Two more came wizzing through the air, One of the pirceing Naruto in the back!

"How Dare They Do That To Naruto!" Emiko Thought angrliy. She then pulled out 5 Kurinis and threw them in the direction of the Attackers! Naruto eased his wasy back up to the fight ring, pulled out his swords, and began fighting one of the Assasins.

"Kakashi, i thought you said this was a peaceful mission, and that we wounldn't meet any enemeys?" Sakura shouted, Conversed in his own struggle, Kakashi leaned over and asked

"Well, Whats the problem with a small fight?"

"I Didn't bring many Kurinis or Shurikens!" She shriked out.

"Hmmm..." Naruto began, "I have quite a few though, i Can lend you some later." He finessed. No sooner had he said that when his Opponet kicked him in the back, sending him flying backword, hitting a tree. He sat there, slumpt down, his face of sheer horror. Sakura Started for Naruto, when Kakashi Stoped her. She turned over at him with a quetsioning look,

"Stop," "Its a Shadow Clone." He said. Sakura nodded. Meanwhile, the remaining 7 ninjas had circled Round' The helpless team, Conering them...
