Back to the Search…
Everyone had met up again after their first search left them with no sign of Naruto. They decided to go further up the way, heading more towards the sound to look for Naruto figuring it was unlikely he even made it that far. The snow would have slowed even him down and as it was the likeliness of find any signs or tracks of where he is or has been. After a while of traveling Tsunade stops as they evaluate the area. Not positive if they saw signs of him being there or if the wind had been responsible for the inconsistency of the depth of the snow.
It was Kakashi who spoke up "we might as well check it out; if it is Naruto's trail then we have everything to gain."
"I agree, however, take Sakura with you while Shizune and I keep looking for him in other directions just in case it isn't Naruto. That way less time is wasted if it is a false lead but if it leads you to him Sakura can start working on him while you summon us" informed the Hokage.
Sakura and Kakashi both replied in unison "Hai!"
With Shizune
She was heading in almost the opposite direction of Kakashi and Sakura. Her eyes were frantically searching over every tree, piece of ground, bushes and anything else she could set them on. She desperately wanted to find the orange clad blonde soon or for one of the other search members to find him. She had often thought of him like a little brother and though she didn't really voice it, he was dear to her.
With Sakura and Kakashi
With that they set off to follow the trail that they were desperately hoping would lead them to their friend, each lost in thought. Both of them were thinking along the same lines, praying they would find their teammate soon or that one of the others would. Kakashi didn't think he could stand the thought of losing his student; it had been bad enough when losing his teammates in the past, losing his sensei, and having Sasuke leave the village. He was rather fond of his two students that he had left, even though they were now equals and teammates in his eyes, he didn't want to think about losing Naruto or Sakura.
Sakura found herself worrying about the blonde that she had gotten close to, despite her tendency to whack him when he acted stupid. Over the years she had seen Naruto grow into a respectable comrade. She wasn't sure what she would do if she were to lose him, she'd be absolutely devastated to say the least, the three of them were close like family….
Here is an update for now. I know it isn't much but I'm trying to figure exactly where to take this and how long to make it. Plus I've been busy with college. Enjoy
