I'M SO SORRY this is so late but my computer crashed this whole time so I couldn't update and to be honest I've had a little writers block. At first when I started this fanfic I had the whole thing in my head, and then it just disappeared! ARGH! I'm mad at myself now. But anyway since you all have been so patient I'll award you with a new chapter I'm hoping to devote my full attention on my story since school is over, unfortunately I have homework for the summer but don't worry I'll finish this story even if it means getting kicked out of school! (I'm actually hoping for that to happen :P)

"talking"

Thoughts

Warning!: Kakashi will be very, and I mean very OOC in this fanfic. I repeat OUT OF CHARACTER. You have been warned!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, if I did Kakashi would be the main character!

Anyway on with the story!

Chapter 2

Discovery

Naruto and Sakura were sitting under the shade of a tree doing…well just talking. The subject to their discussion? A certain green spandex-wearing ninja. Yup, that's right Maito Gai was the source today. Why you ask? Since Kakashi went on a S-ranked mission, Gai was their replacement sensei. Horrifying I know.

"When is Kakashi-sensei going to come back, I swear if I hear one more speech of how 'youthful' our lives are I going to CRAZY!" Complained a rather annoyed Naruto, gripping his hair in the process.

"Oh, shut up Naruto! That's like the hundredth time today that you complained! I'm sick of hearing you complain!" Yelled a rather irritated Sakura, getting ready to punch the living daylight out of him.

"C-come on Sakura-Chan you know that Kakashi-sensei has been gone awhile, he's been gone a for like more than a week!" Exclaimed Naruto.

Sakura put her arm down and stared past Naruto, he's right in a sense anyway. I heard from shishou that Kakashi-sensei was supposed to be gone for about 3-4 days but he has been gone for 12 days! Maybe he just ran into some trouble and is just resting from the strain of the Sharingan, yeah that has to be it please let my be right.

"-ura-Chan? Sakura-Chan are you ok?" Asked Naruto worryingly.

"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm fine"

But Naruto wasn't convinced.

"Are you sure you're okay? You kinda spaced out."

"I'm fine Naruto really."

"You sure?"

"Yes I'm sure"

"Really?"

"Really." Sakura was getting irritated now.

"Really, Really?"

"NARUTO! FOR THE LAST TIME I'M FINE!"

"Sorry Sakura-Chan….. But are you su-"Naruto was interrupted by getting hit on the head. "OW!" he exclaimed.

"Are you convinced now?" Sakura was gritting her teeth now.

That question was followed by a shaky 'yes'. Just as Naruto was getting up off the ground he was knocked down again by pure surprise of having a green poof of smoke right behind him, then he started to crawl to Sakura to get a better look at what spo- I mean popped up behind him. He wasn't scared, not at all…..Nope not scared…...yeah, he was scared.

The smoke cleared enough to see who appeared. Gai was standing there in his 'good guy' pose. "Good Morning My Eternal Rival's youthful students I see that you two were having a discussion about youth no doubt. But enough chit-chatting we have yet to started our youthful warm-ups and training. What shall we start with today, perhaps 200 laps around Konoha or 5000 pushups or maybe-"

! Kill Me, Kill Me, Kill Me, Kill Me, Kill Me, Kill Me, Kill Me, Kill Me, KILL ME! KAKA-SENSEI SAVE US! Naruto was up to the point of dying right now.

Urgh, this is going to be a long day. Sakura thought.

Before Gai could even ranting another poof of smoke appeared this time it was an ANBU with an owl mask. "Maito-san, Hokage-sama request your presence along with Uzumaki-san and Haruno-san at the hospital immediately." After he said this he disappeared in another poof of smoke. Everyone was wondering what the problem could be.

I hope my Eternal Rival is not the cause of this, then again he has been gone awhile. Gai thought worryingly.

Please, please let Kaka-sensei be okay. Maybe Tsunade-sama called to tell us some news about him that's got to be it! Sakura thought frantically.

Geez, what's with everyone poofing around in smoke? What happened to walking? Naruto thought, clueless as ever. They looked at each other.

"Right then! We're off!" Gai started speeding though the village with Naruto and Sakura right on his tail.

At the gates in front of the hospital. Tsunade was waiting for them to arrive, once they appeared in front of her, she signaled them inside.

Nobody said anything each lost in their own thoughts. They reached the third floor went down some hallways turn some corners and so on. Finally they reached a door labeled the number 442, standing on both sides of the door were Sarutobi Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi.

"Asuma-sensei, Kurenai-sensei! What are you two doing here?" Exclaimed Naruto rather loudly.

"Shut up Naruto! This is a hospital you know!" Sakura hit Naruto on the head. "OW!" quickly came after.

"As for what we're doing here Tsunade-sama summoned us. Why, is what we're still trying to figure out." Asuma explained while rubbing his beard.

They all turned to face the Hokage. "Well…" started Tsunade."*sigh*, you all are aware that Kakashi took on a mission, it was S-ranked, he was sent to infiltrate and assassinate a group of rouges in the lightening country. Pakkun was sent to my office saying that the mission was completed but he ran into some trouble along the way, but that was 9 days ago. Just this morning he was found unconscious in front of Konoha's northern gates."

"What's his condition?" Asked Kurenai, she was worried beyond belief about her friend. When she was requested and told to stay near this door next to Asuma, she was curious and look through the small window she only saw white and a little spec of silver and that confused her.

"Let's see his arms are lined up with cuts and bruises and one of them is broken in five parts. Some broken ribs, about 3, but I'm not 100% sure. His head was bleeding at one point but we managed to stop the blood. Last but not least there is a long, deep cut across his abdomen. The real problem here is that he is rejecting the charka we're trying to heal him with so all we could give him was some first aid, I'm going to need your help on that Sakura." she finished.

Everyone just stared at her.

"WHAT!"

" he's rejecting charka? How is this possible?"

"First Aid! That's all you could do for him!"

"You can fix him Granny, right?"

"SILENCE"

The hallway was silent. Until Naruto broke it, "can we see him Granny, please."

*sigh*"I supposed so but you have to be Quiet"

The minute the door opened everyone wished it was closed, inside one bed occupied the room in that bed lay the Copy Ninja. You could see blood soaking through the sheets and he was pale, deathly pale. "Kakashi-sensei" the name was carried throughout the room. As though he heard it Kakashi started to cough up blood and stirred a little though the movement did nothing to move the sheet for his face, it was now a deep red color though.

Everyone was at his side in an instant watching for any kind of movement. Nothing happened…. Or so they thought when he started to stir again but this time the blood visible on the sheets disappeared without a trace. Some took a sharp intake of breath, others just stared. The beeping of the heart monitor and the hiss of the respirator were the only sounds left to hear.

Tsunade placed her hand over his forehead and glowed a green color. A shocked expression covered the features of her face, "I-impossible, every things healed just the cut on his abdomen is left!"

Everyone was left shocked, "h-how." Sakura stuttered, "is that possible!"

Just then the heart monitor went wild and he started to stir. Pain was plastered on his face. A scream was heard people were shocked to find the scream come from Kakashi.

Tusnade and Sakura went to work instantly trying to heal him, it was no good. Their charka made its way into his system, only to return to the rightful owner. Tsunade and Sakura were sent flying into the wall behind them.

There was a blinding white light, so bright that everyone had to cover their eyes. Once the light faded they put down their arms, right away they were sent into a shocked state.
