Summary: Kakashi encounters some serious trouble that may put his life on the line. Not Yaoi. Rated PG-13 for violence and language. First fan fic so be kind yet critical!
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Naruto...
Kakashi: (growl) Then why do you have me here on a leash?
Me: Cuz I own YOU! Or at least in this story I do
Kakashi: (rolls eyes) WHY did I sign up for this job??
By the way, this story takes place after the fight between Sasuke and Naruto. In my story, Naruto manages to bring back Sasuke.

'Damnit!'
Naruto's gaze kept on drifting from his post towards the clouds in the sky. His handsome eyes blinked to stop them from glazing over, spacing out yet again. Naruto had grown into a tall handsome man over the past few years. No longer was he the stocky young boy with baby fat. He grew tall and lean, his face strong, but with a soft chin that showed how sensitive the boy, no, the man really was. His hair was still the same warm blonde, but it had grown tamer over the years, framing his face rather than sticking up. What a contrast those stunning almond shaped eyes were against his tan, smooth skin! It was the same sky blue color as before, but now the shield was brought down. Endless laughter was seen in his eyes, but with sadness lurking behind the merry twinkle.
'Why can't I concentrate today? I need to focus on the gate so I can complete my mission and move on to being a Jounin!'
Even being Chuunin for five years already hadn't changed anything: He still hated guard duty. It had to be the most boring yet important job in the village.
'How can it manage doing that? So important yet so boring...I hate this job.'
Naruto pouted a bit, but then decided to give himself some time off by taking a little nap.
'Tsunade Baa-san will be pissed.' He thought with satisfaction while grinning mischievously to himself. He could almost see her in front of him, her eye twitching and vein popping out while reprimanding him for falling asleep on the job. He was imagining what he could say to annoy her even more when he heard a sound outside of the gate. Naruto shot up, berating himself for letting his guard down. Naruto quickly scanned the area, looking for any possible threats, only to find Kakashi leaning against the gate.
'Kakashi's back!' Kakashi was no longer their teacher, but all of Team 7 maintained a strong relationship with him still. Naruto was overjoyed at seeing his former sensei after almost a month of not seeing him. Kakashi had been sent off on a mission that was only supposed to last 3 weeks, but he hadn't come back with the rest of his teammates at the end of the mission. His teammates said that Kakashi said he went off to do his own business and he would be back the next day. When he still didn't return, nobody got too worried since Kakashi can take care of himself (being a top ninja in the bingo books has its perks sometimes), but there was still that underlying feeling of worry.
"Oi Kakashi-sensei!" After all these years, Naruto refuses to call him anything but that.
Flashback:
------------
Naruto ran over to Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei! I passed the Chuunin exams!"
"I know, Naruto, I saw you. You did well. It seems that you're not the dobe that Sasuke calls you anymore." Kakashi gave his infamous grin, smiling at Naruto. Naruto was the first of his students to become Chuunin, and Kakashi was proud of the kid's progress. Sasuke, on the other hand, seemed less than happy about it.
Naruto grinned widely at Kakashi, a mischievous gleam in his eye. "Kakashi-sensei? Think I can call Sasuke that now?"
Kakashi chuckled, "Naruto, call me just Kakashi now. You are no longer my soldier, but my comrade."
Naruto frowned, "No."
Kakashi eyed Naruto, "Hmm? Why not? You are now a Chuunin."
Naruto looked Kakashi in the eye. "You're Kakashi-sensei. Just because you don't lead me around on stupid missions anymore like picking up garbage while reading your dirty book (Kakashi blushed at this part), doesn't mean you're not my sensei."
Naruto turned around grinning evilly in search of Sasuke, waving goodbye happily to Kakashi.
-----------
Naruto frowned, and tried calling Kakashi again.
"Kakashi-sensei! Can you hear me?"
Naruto watched in horror as he watched Kakashi crumple to the ground.
'Shit! What happened??'Racing over to Kakashi, he knelt down on the ground, gently shaking Kakashi to wake him up. Naruto noticed right away his labored breathing, indicating the struggle Kakashi was going through just to breathe. Kakashi's chest barely rose, and even when managing to force oxygen into his lungs, he trembled as if a huge weight was on his chest preventing him from breathing properly. Naruto looked Kakashi over to find that he was stabbed in numerous places, most of them quite serious. He also noticed how hot Kakashi's forehead was. The thought flitted through his mind that he had never seen Kakashi this injured, even when collapsing from overusing his Sharingan or fighting Itachi. Naruto slung Kakashi carefully over his shoulder and raced back to find Tsunade.
