For kami's sake, yes, I know I should be working on my other fan-fiction. But this idea just popped into my head like: I WANT YOU TO WORK ON ME NOW! So.. I couldn't help it.. Hehe.. Anyhow, please enjoy and you know how I work with the speaking things and Kyuubi and all stuff probably. So I'm not gonna put that in here – just because I'm lazy – hehe. Uhm, if you have questions just put it in the review (I luv reviews :3) and I'll try to react ^_^ Have fun reading.
Chapter 1: Damn it, Kakashi-sensei!
"Darn it!" a voice shouted. Team 7; Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were waiting on the bride (their usual meeting place) for their sensei to pop up. But, like always, he is late. And not just five minutes, no, four hours already. Which is quite unusual for him – since it's usually around 3 hours or so – "Where is Kakashi-Sensei?! He's late!" Naruto growled, he was obviously losing his patience this time.
"Calm down dobe," Sasuke said on his usual tone, which caused veins to pop on Naruto's head. "You know that Kakashi-Sensei is always late." He stated.
"Yeah, but not for four hours!" Naruto shouted back, trying his best to keep himself from strangling the Uchiha.
"Well," Sakura suddenly added, "I agree with Naruto this time.. But if he's this late, don't you think something must've happened?" she explained to the boys. But mentally she'd rather beat the crap out of Kakashi-sensei for being late.
Naruto gave a slight sigh, while Sasuke just "Hn'd"
"Alright.. I'll go into Sage mode to track his chakra signature down." Naruto sat in a 'meditation' position and started channelling Nature energy. A half minute later orange 'shadow' formed around his eyes, and once he opened them you were able to see a toad-sort yellow eyes, due to his Sage mode. "I faintly sense his Chakra, it's possibly on the other side of the village or beaten to a pulp." He then told his two teammates.
"Let's head over there." Sakura said while making a fist ready to punch anyone unconscious. She obviously wanted to beat the air out of their sensei because he's late.
"Weren't you the one who was calm here?" Sasuke smirked.
"W-well yes, but…" Sakura got cut off,
"Let's get going already!" Naruto shouted before he ran off.
"Wait up Naruto!" Sasuke sighed as he ran after the other two.
Team 7 ran across the trees, on the back hill – the outskirts – of Konohagakure. "Why would sensei be all the way out here?" Sakura asked Naruto, who was still in Sage mode.
"I don't know, but there is a faint track of his Chakra signature here." He told the both.
"Faint?" Sasuke seemed surprised, why would it be faint?
"Yes, faint. I can hardly sense it at all. Maybe we should hurry…" he said while increasing his pace. Sakura nodded and Sasuke just "Hn'd" again, but he agreed as well.
A little while later the tree of them got to a clearing in the middle of the forest. "Huh, there's nothing here?" Sakura questioned – not to anyone in particular.
"You're wrong, there's a strong chakra around here. Also there's a little of Kakashi-Sensei's chakra here, and it stops here." Naruto explained while walking around and examining. He placed his hand on the ground and channelled his chakra through it hoping to find something – which was a big mistake – He couldn't get his hand off. "I'm stuck! I-it's draining my chakra!" he said while trying to pull his hand back. Sakura and Sasuke ran over to him and tried to help him, but with no success. His hand just stayed in place, while somehow draining his chakra. Even though Naruto has plenty of reserves, and his Sage mode, he started to empty of chakra. His vision had gotten blurry in no-time and he had no strength left. He tried to pull his hand back one more time, but failed once again. His chakra had been drained at an alarming speed. He couldn't keep his eyes open.
"Na…."
"Naru…"
"…To!"
Was the last thing he heard before being engulfed by darkness.
"He lost consciousness!" Sakura shouted while shaking Naruto, whose hand was still stuck.
"Damn it.." Sasuke gritted his teeth, he was trying to figure something, because if this went on Naruto would die of chakra exhaustion, but clearly he didn't know what to do.
Suddenly the ground started to glow white. "What the!?-" Sasuke shouted, before the white turned everything before his eyes black.
"Nng.." Sasuke opened his eyes, 'what happened there?' he thought. Sasuke got himself sitting – instead of laying down – and he looked around to find they were still in the same clearing., that thing clearly didn't drain his chakra. So then what did it do? He continued looking as he saw his comrades laying on the dirty ground. He got up – with a little trouble – and walked over to Sakura, who he decided to wake up first just in case if Naruto needed medical treatment. He shook her a little and she woke up immediately.
"What.. What happened?" was the first thing said – or rather asked – But Sasuke shook his head,
"I'm not sure. But we got to wake Naruto up, I don't think he's as fit as we are." Sakura nodded in reply. She got up and walked to where Naruto was laying, and kneeled down. She started to shake Naruto a bit but without any reaction. She lost her patience (which she never had)
"NARUTO! WAKE UP!" Sakura shouted into his ear. Naruto made some weird noises before opening one eye.
"Oh, hi Sakura.." he said weakly, before opening his other eye. Sakura sighed, she started healing Naruto (of what could be healed) while he was just laying down. You could notice by just looking at him that he was suffering from severe chakra exhaustion.
A little while later Sakura was helping Naruto up, but he found it hard to stand on his legs. Thus letting his teammate helping him by making him lean on her – Sakura's – shoulder. Once leaving the clearing a few ANBU from the village appeared. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at this and looked at their attire for a moment, before her noticed the masks. They looked quite unusual to him, maybe a new design? "Hokage-sama has requested your presence." The tallest ANBU told them.
Sasuke and Sakura replied "Hai" in sync while Naruto gave just a weak nod. They followed the ANBU through the forest to enter a different Konohagakure than they knew. Sasuke couldn't help but look up at the Hokage monument for a minute, to notice there were only four heads up there. He looked Naruto in the eyes, just seeing that he had noticed it as well. They continued walking – and leaning – through Konoha until they got to the main road, the road to the Hokage mansion. Naruto felt like he could collapse any time soon. But of course, he wouldn't. He wanted to know what was going on here damn it!
A few moments later they entered the red coloured mansion, which seemed to be in much better state than they remembered. The ANBU walked through the halls and gestured them to follow. They stood in front of the office door and one of the ANBU knocked on the door. Naruto didn't know why, but he started to feel really nervous. Not just because of him being this exhausted and appearing in front of the Hokage like that.
"Come in!" they heard a soft voice say, causing the chills to run down Naruto's spine. They entered the office following the ANBU. Until, they split to stand in a certain formation. They could see the Hokage clearly now: Sky blue eyes were staring at them –especially Naruto- and his clear yellow bangs were hanging wildly around his face. He wore a white cloak and under that a standard Jounin vest and pants.
Naruto's eyes widened as soon as he got a clear look. And Sakura almost dropped him, after that both she and Sasuke were waiting for Naruto's reaction. But all that came out his mouth was stuttering: "O-o-o-ot…" the Hokage, known as Minato, raised his eyebrows at the kid's weird behaviour. "O-o…" he started again, finally getting the full word out: "Otou-san…" he said. And then he did what every teenager would do when they saw their dead parent alive: He fainted.
HOW'S THAT? HUH? Well, I think it was great. Even though I am not the best writer. Anyhow, I'll continue this story so don't worry. I don't know when I'll have the next chapter up since I am really busy with school and all. So.. We'll see.
Bye byes from Noelle!
P.S. I re-wrote this chapter .
