Soon after the mens' regrets Kakashi and Rin were ready to leave. "Wait, Rin. Can I talk to you before you go?" Sazune approached the younger teen. Rin slowly nodded in agreement. "Sure Sazune-chan." Rin followed Sazune into the kitchen with Kushina tagging along. Karuto walked over to Kakashi. "What do you think they're talking about?" Karuto asked the younger shinobi. Jiraiya let out a dry laugh. "Why you curious?" The sannin asked Karuto. Karuto raised an eyebrow. "They're talking about little brat over here." Jiraiya answered. Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Cyclops!" Karuto all of sudden burst.

The other two stopped. "What?" Kakashi asked. Karuto turned around with a sheepish smile. "I was just trying to think of a nick name for you was all, because you bandaged your eye so…" Karuto explained . Jiraiya looked at the teenager. He nodded. "What happened kid?" Jiraiya asked the teen. Kakashi shook his head. "Just doing my mission, but go on. Why are they talking about me?" Kakashi asked curious. Jiraiya shook his head in disappointment. "Haven't I taught you about women yet?" Jiraiya asked Kakashi. Kakashi shook his head his eyebrows furrowing.

"Well, that's a note to self. Anyways I think hippy likes you. So Tsuna-err-Sazune is trying to help get your attention." Jiraiya explained. Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "You think Rin's a hippy too." Karuto said nodding his head in total agreement. Jiraiya nodded. "So what I suggest you do is be a gentlemen. Do what the little organ here tells you to do." Jiraiya poked Kakashi's chest for emphasis. Minato came over into the conversation. "That is good advice." Minato said nodding.

Karuto raised an eyebrow. "Does Kakashi have one?" Karuto asked sort of curious. 'Naruto I do have a heart.' Kakashi scolded his student. 'Sorry. Just checking.' Naruto yelped. Kakashi sighed. "Of course I have a heart." Kakashi argued. Just then the girls came out. "Kakashi if you know, you can could you walk me home?" Rin asked blushing and staring at the floor. Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Fine. Let's go, before Karuto asks if I missing any other organs." Kakashi said leading the way to the door.

Kushina and Sazune turned their heads toward Karuto in confusion. Karuto waved them off. "Anyways, so I think it's time for a girl heart to heart. So Sazune and I will be out doing girl stuff." Kushina said leading out of the house. The three remaining raised their eyebrows. "Haven't you had enough of…" Karuto was cut off, "WE NEED A HEART TO HEART!" Kushina yelled and Karuto backed off. Karuto went moping and sat on the sofa. "So have you guys ever played 'Life'?" Minato asked smiling.

W/ Rin

Kakashi was staring off in a daze his bandaged eye on her side. "Rin, get on the side with his eye." Her radio told her. Kushina was on the other line. Rin nodded, and pretended to drop something. "Whoops." She pretended to pick something up then walked over to his good side. "Good Job, Rin. Keep it up." Sazune advised on the radio. Rin smiled at their plan.

FLASHBACK

"Okay Rin we all know you want a chance with Kakashi, right?" Sazune asked Rin. Rin slowly nodded in agreement. Sazune smiled sweetly, and warmly. Rin listened as she explained. "I've got these radios, and when you and Kakashi walk home we'll be advising you all the way." Sazune said smiling. Rin was surprised. "You'r-You're… going to help me?" Rin asked surprised and stuttering. Sazune smiled warmly. "I used to have a crush, and the day when I turned my back he was gone. I'm not going to let that happen twice." Sazune smiled warmly. Rin felt her gratefulness engage to a greater level.

Rin nodded in agreement. Kushina smiled and nodded. "Little Kashi deserves somebody like you." Kushina said smiling wider. Rin couldn't help but smile back.

END OF FLASHBACK

Rin giggled to herself, maybe to loudly. "What?" Kakashi asked turning his head only slightly to look at her. Rin nervously shook her head. Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Rin keep it together." She heard the radio transmit from Sazune's side. Rin bit the bottom of her lip. "So how do you think Obito is holding up?" Rin asked trying to find a safe zone. Kakashi's face went to one of confusion, and grief. "Honestly, with his left side crushed, I don't know if he'll ever be the same." Kakashi's tone was dead serious.

Rin suddenly was interested in her sandals. "Rin, don't bring up Obito." Kushina warned. Rin dug into her bottom lip. "But it's Obito we're talking about. He'll pull through and go back to the idiot." Kakashi reassured a smile. Rin was suddenly glad she brought up the topic. "I'm dropping by later." Kakashi said scratching the back of his head. Rin was shocked. "Obito's got to have company." Kakashi said tilting his head with Karuto's eye smile. "Yeah." Rin nodded in agreement. They started to have a conversation about how annoying Obito was when he was late.

"He can be annoying, but without the idiot how would life be?" Kakashi said stopping at Rin's house. Rin nodded. "Thanks…for everything." Rin thanked him. Kakashi shook his head. "Nothing to thank me for yet. Hold onto your thanks." Kakashi said walking off and rounding the corner. Rin smiled and walked to her house entrance. "Rin what are you doing?" Kushina asked on her microphone. Sazune had nothing, but pride. "Nicely done Rin. Couldn't have gone better." Sazune reassured. Rin smiled.

Out of the blue a huge gigantic bug with razor sharp claws, and teeth that could shred through human flesh grabbed Rin. "RIN!" Kushina called. Sazune jumped at it hoping to get a grip on the situation. It slashed it's claws at Sazune leaving a deadly deep gash on her torso. "SAZUNE!" Kushina cursed and started to do first aid on Sazune. She stopped the bleeding. When she was ready to face the beast it fled. "Darn it!" She cursed picked up Sazune and fled to her home.

The boys…

"Darn it! Are you serious 15,000 bucks!" Jiraiya asked. Karuto laughed. "Your not very smart for being a doctor." Karuto said gripping his stomach. Jiraiya growled. "Look who's talking computer geek." Jiraiya countered. It was Karuto's turn to growl. When his growl left his mouth Kushina came bursting in the door, looking weary. "Help! Rin's been kidnapped, and Sazune's lost a lot of blood!" Kushina yelled placing Sazune on the couch. Karuto rushed to his comrade's side. "Sazune, can you hear me? Stay with me, concentrate on my voice." Karuto was calmly trying to make sure Sazune didn't doze off. "Minato go get bandages!" Karuto yelled. Minato nodded and ran off in search for the medical equipment.

"What do you need me to do?" Jiraiya asked. Karuto glanced back at him. "Go and get some hot water." Karuto ordered and went back to his patient. "Sazune nod if you can hear my voice, concentrate on my voice." Karuto ordered a second time. Sazune slowly nodded. Karuto let out a huff of relief. Minato came running in. "I got the bandages." Minato came and kneeled by Karuto. Karuto nodded. Jiraiya came in with the hot water, and added a rag.

Karuto pulled up her shirt enough to reveal the gash. He started to clean the cut. Sazune was hissing in pain. "Sazune, this is a crucial part I need you to cooperate." Karuto warned. Sazune settled down. When he was done he applied first aid medical that Kakashi once learned. He closed the gash best he could, and removed her from any danger. He bandaged her injury, "She just needs to rest now. Her body has to do the rest." Karuto sat back in relief. The others let out a gust of relief. "But we need to go find Rin. Minato, and Jiraiya you'll come with me. Kushina stay here and watch over Sazune." Karuto ordered, and the others nodded.

W/ Rin

She woke up head throbbing. She sat up holding her head. "So you're finally awake." She heard a familiar voice ring. Rin turned her head to see Kakashi sitting their, meditating. "Where are we?" Rin asked looking at her surroundings. "Good question. I've been contemplating, and I still don't know." Kakashi answered truthfully.

"So do you think the others will find us?" Rin asked. Kakashi shrugged. "Might as well conserve your energy while you can. I'm trying to figure out a plan." Kakashi told Rin. Rin nodded slowly. She tried to get in a better sitting position, but yelped when she tried. Kakashi turned his head finally. "That bug had a grip on you. Hold still." Kakashi said calmly applying a green light to the wound. "When did you…" Rin was cut off, "It's just first aid. I can't do much." Kakashi told her. She nodded her thank you.

Kakashi went back to his meditating state. 'Please get here soon guys.' Rin thought hoping for her friends to get here quickly.

W/ Karuto, Minato, and Jiraiya

"There trail is faint, but not erased." Karuto told them. Jiraiya nodded. "How do you know?" Jiraiya asked. Karuto glanced back. "I'm an expert tracker. Also used to be part of anbu." Karuto answered. 'And with a little help of the Kyubi.' Naruto said. Kakashi sighed. 'That too, but right now they don't know yet.' Kakashi said calmly. Naruto nodded. 'While 'Karuto' is tracking them, who is their child?' Naruto asked his sensei. Kakashi sighed again. 'Kushina's last name is Uzumaki.' Kakashi answered. Karuto stopped dead in his tracks. The others stopped in surprise. "Karuto what is it?" Minato asked breaking the teen out of his concentration. Karuto bit the bottom of his lip.

"Nothing just a little suspicious." Karuto said looking around the forest they were traveling in. The others didn't look reassured. "15 meters south, and closing in!" Karuto warned. The others turned to the direction told, and got ready. Then a giant bug came out into the open chomping on thick trees like broccoli, at lunch. "Get out of the way!" Jiraiya warned. They jumped their separate directions. 'Katon: Gokakyu no jutsu!' Kakashi's jutsu were at use.

The fireball hit it's target. "JIRAIYA GET SOME OIL! STRENGTHEN THE JUTSU!" Karuto called to the sannin. He nodded, and summoned a medium sized toad. The toad spat out the liquid with Jiraiya adding to the flames. The burns were of a third degree burn, and the fire was still raging. It's head flung in directions trying to find the enemy. 'Why can't it see us?' Naruto asked his sensei. Minato threw two paper bombs, not wanting to stand there like an idiot. Soon the monster was down and out. "Is…everybody…okay?" Karuto asked meeting the sannin on his perch. The other two nodded. 'That much air for a jutsu so simple?' Naruto asked mystified. Kakashi nodded.

"Let's get going." Minato said anxious. Karuto nodded. They set out, Karuto setting all kinds of traps that he could think of. They soon reached a stench unbearable. "We're close, but I don't want to use my nose anymore." Karuto's eyes were watering and the stench was attacking his nose. "We need to find Rin though." Minato said in a hushed tone. Karuto nodded his understanding, taking a whiff that he would regret. He started to gag. "That's disgusting, but I got a whiff. And Bakashi is here too." Karuto said. Minato was suddenly so anxious he wanted to run in blind. Jiraiya put a firm hand on Minato's shoulder.

"I understand your feelings especially since the brat's in there." Jiraiya reassured, and Minato nodded. Karuto had to mask his nose, so the stench wouldn't inflict any overwhelming unwanted things. They snuck in, but soon after they were discovered, by one of the smaller ones. Minato quickly cut it down in a flash. "I think I understand how their system works." Karuto said. The other two looked back in surprise. "Listen. The smaller ones are the ones that are the trackers, the bigger ones are completely blind without guidance. They rely on the smaller ones, because they are their eyes and ears. The smaller ones are blind as well, but they sense chakra. If you have a fully developed one, like us, they can track us easily. So calm down, and mask your chakra." Karuto explained. The other two nodded. They slowly made their way to a smelly cavern.

W/ Kakashi and Rin

"Does it stink in here?" Rin asked Kakashi. Kakashi stopped meditating to turn towards her. "Yes. I'm blocking my nose sense because it stinks, and my nose is more sensitive." Kakashi answered. Rin nodded, in shock, but still nodded. "What are we going to do?" Rin said face palming. Kakashi faced her with a grim look. "I frankly don't know. I was knocked out cold when they took me here, so I don't know how far we are from any kind of help, and it's so dark I can't see some of my surroundings." Kakashi answered grimly. Rin nodded again looking at the floor in lost hope.

They sat there in silence. "Do you hear that?" Kakashi suddenly asked. Rin's head shot up in surprise. "Hear what?" Rin asked. Kakashi looked in a certain direction. "Someone's coming." Kakashi said monotone. Rin looked in the same direction. Kakashi stood up ready to defend Rin. Rin was ready to heal any injuries inflicted on Kakashi. After a minute she could hear the sounds of feet moving towards them. 'What do we do?' Rin's was shaking paralyzed and frightened at what might happened, and swallowed a lump in her throat.

Kakashi glared at the direction. "There over here!" A familiar annoying voice rang through the imprisonment. "Karuto?" They said in unison. His figure came into view. He had a handkerchief covering his nose. "Let's go. Hi Kakashi, we were only expecting to save Rin, but double points for Karuto!" He pumped a fist in congratulations to himself. Minato and Jiraiya came soon after the pumped fist. Minato came over weary, and worried. "Are you guys okay?" Minato asked checking every inch of Kakashi for any wounds. "Rin can't stand on her own." Kakashi said with a sigh. Karuto nodded. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Karuto called forming a simple hand sign. Three Karutos appeared. "Kakashi since you're chakra isn't replenished as much as our own, carry Rin. We'll guard you, and mask your chakra they can't find us if you do." Karuto warned. They nodded. Kakashi picked Rin up bridal style.

"Ready?" Karuto asked glancing at everybody. The others nodded. "Ready for what?" A voice rang through the smelly cavern. "You." Karuto turned to face…
