It was three in the morning and it was raining. Not the first time it had done that it was just that lately it did it a lot. But hey why not the Hokage had died, there was a lot of reason to cry. He was considered a saint among men, though more like an arch angel, he was what he was and that was loved. It wasn't the first time that as a village we lost someone important. We lost my family, all of them. My mother sacrificed at my birth, my father sacrificed so that I and this pathetic village could live. Well no more, no more death, no more pain, no more loss. I will stop it all!!
This is what he thought as that night cried for the loss of "The Professor" "The God of Shinobi" Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage. Now deceased leader of Kohonagakure no Sato, the village hidden the leaves.
Naruto………..
It was a sunny day, for a while at least. The clouds had disappeared and it looked to be hot, really hot. But that was to be expected this was fire country, or the Land of Fire as some would call it, why wouldn't it be hot? Well that made no difference for three young individuals who were once again doing tedious D-ranked missions or Naruto was doing about a hundred while Sakura and Sauske, with the original Naruto were doing a C-ranked around town.
Naruto – "hey guys the target is down there."
Sauske – "got it, should we eliminate?"
Sakura – "hell ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kakashi – "Keep in sight we don't want to lose it again."
And with that they watched and waited as a team waiting for the order to attack. It was reported that some sound Shinobi had taken refuge in an old abandoned building and were planning an escape once they recovered from their injuries, but, this team had other plans, elimination.
Kakashi – "Fox, move in and take out the two by the door."
Naruto – "copy"
Kakashi – "Eyes, take the two out at the windows."
Sauske – "hn."
Kakashi – "pinky your with me, were going in save one for interrogation."
Sakura – "hai!"
Kakashi – "Move in now."
Like lighting it was over. Naruto blew off the door with a rasengan taking out the first two. The other s in a panic turned their back and for the two by the window that was fatal. Sauske used his sharingan to throw three kunai. One for the back of the neck for one sentry and the two others to reach the last one, using the third kunai to direct the first into the heart of the other ninja. Once that was done all that was left was the leader who had a broken leg and his last subordinate who was merely a low level chunin. It was always said Kohona had the best ninja. Sakura took him out with a genjutsu and cut his throat while Kakashi knocked out the leader.
Naruto – "all clear"
Sauske – "all Clear"
Sakura – "all clear"
Kakashi – "good work team, Anbu will be here shortly to collect and interrogate. Move out."
All team – "hai"
On the way back to the Hokage tower Naruto asked a question that some wouldn't want to ask or know the answer to. "Did that make you all feel better about what happened?" Naruto asked.
Kakashi – "did it do that for you?"
Naruto – "not sure, I just wished I could have done more for the old man."
Sakura – "Naruto you did a lot, you save me and Sauske from Garra, and countless other Shinobi who could have died by his sand and bloodlust."
Naruto – "thanks Sakura, I needed that I just feel guilty like there was so much more I could have done to help I guess I'm just feeling down, but thanks."
Sakura – "you're welcome Naruto"
Sauske – "stop being a dobe you did all you could more than most, it's not like you're a Kage or something, just keep training and getting better and then when you can beat me, you'll be ok."
Naruto – "whatever teme, last I checked I wasn't peeing my pants at a two hundred foot tanuki, now was I?"
Sakura – "Naruto! Leave Sauske-kun alone he could have…..uh…..done something right?"
Sauske – "Dobe……"
Naruto – "teme…."
While all this was going on Kakashi couldn't be more pleased, his team was sounding back to normal, Sakura's cursed mark wasn't acting up, and it looked like Naruto was going to get over his rut. "Time to return to you my love" Kakashi said to his little orange book, the secret love of his life next to Kurenai, but who would ever know that right?
Somewhere across town a tired and annoyed Genjutsu mistress sneezed and almost got a jyuken to the face. Annoyed in deed.
At the Hokage tower……Hokage – "so how did you all do?" "Great" Naruto almost screamed giving his Guy like pose. "We cleared up the entire area, no more foreign Shinobi in our sector" spoke Kakashi. "Well that's good, sensei would be proud, especially of you Naruto you have done well, as well as you two Sakura and Sauske" said the Hokage. "Aww shut it Ero-Baka! your just trying to get me and Sauske to do some "research" for you, you old perv" Naruto now really screamed. "Dammit Naruto don't say that to loud Hana almost smelled me out last time, damn Inuzuka always smelling stuff they shouldn't" Screamed Jiraya, the interim Hokage.
"Yeah well if you wouldn't wear that damn colonge all the time no one would smell you, you perverted old man." stated Naruto so matter of factly. "Well if I had my peeping assistant like I used to I wouldn't have this problem now would I Kakashi?" said Jiraya, with Kakashi looking off into nowhere.
"Kakashi-sensei" Sakura and Naruto hollered while Sauske's only response was his truly trademark statement "hn"
"Well kids time to go, unfortunately I have to make a visit to the Inuzuka compound on my way home and you all have the rest of the day off so go relax, tomorrow be prepared for severe training" spoke a very annoyed Kakashi while looking at the very temporary hokage. "hai sensei" all three stated as they left the adults in the room to discuss more personal matters.
"So when should she be here?" asked Kakashi inquisitively.
"Two weeks, just enough time to get them ready for whats about to happen." stated the ever astute toad sage while he motioned for two anbu.
"Yes Hokage-sama." the anbu asked
"Go and find no. 33 and bring here here." spoke the Hokage
"Hai" said the anbu as they dissapeared "now on to more pressing matters, Kakashi are they ready for the training?" asked Jiraya
"Yes they will be ready but do you think it wise to bring her back, I mean no disrespect and I know were short on upper level shinobi but her?" asked Kakashi
"Yes we will need a good medic, Orochimaru got to Tsunade we think and we need someone of her caliber or as close as we can get." spoke Jiraya
"Well I better get prepared she won't be happy to see me." spoke a dejected Kakashi
"No Rin won't but hopefully she will understand and will cooperate, Hopefully." said the toad sage
And with that there meeting was over and the beginning of a new day for the lives of Team 7 and Kakashi would shortly begin, but would they be able to get through it together or will they fall?
