Sorry for the long update guys. When I started writing this chapter I was in the middle of a school play and had no time to write then after the play I had major writer's block and did u know forcing yourself to write on a writer's block hurts your head. Well anyhow heres the next chapter.

Disclamer: I don't own Naruto because if i did it would be on Audlt Swim.


Chapter 4: The Land of Waves Part 1

"Um Kakashi-sensei, are there any ninja in the Land of Waves?" asked Sakura.

"Not in the Land of Waves," he answered. "There's nothing to worry about. You won't face any ninja from other clans while you're on C ranked duties."

"Oh look Sasuke! A puddle!" Kagami squealed happily. "I shall jump in it now!" She took a big leap and landed in the puddle making water splash every where. She splashed again and again squealing with joy as water went over her toes causing Naruto to watch her with desire.

"That's enough splashing Kagami," Sasuke said as he pulled Kagami out of the abused puddle. "You're getting all wet, now let's get going." Kagami walked back up to the group as Naruto slowly approached.

"Kagami, we really need to talk." He then gently but firmly took Kagami's hand so she wouldn't runaway. "Please. Tell me what I don't understand so I do. I love yo…" Before he could finish his sentence they heard Sakura scream. Kagami then turned around to find Kakashi wrapped up in a chain with sharp points on that was connected to two masked males. One glance told Kagami they were not from either Konoha. She gasped and backed away with Naruto shielding her.

"One little piggy." One of the men muttered, glancing at his companion before in unison they pulled the chains tighter. Kakashi's visible eye widened as his body was sliced through, blood squirting everywhere.

"K-Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto yelled, clearly shaken.

"Two little piggy's!" The first's brother answered with a laugh. The two men then turned toward Naruto and Kagami. Just when they we're about to wrap Naruto and Kagami with the chain Sasuke jumped up and took out a shuriken and a kunai knife and threw them at the chain. The shuriken lodged the chain into a near by tree and the kunai knife helped to keep it there. He then landed on the men's arms and kicked the min the face. When the men couldn't use their chain anymore they broke it and then, and went separate ways. One went after Tazuna as the other went toward Kagami. Sakura got in front of Tazuna to protect him and then Sasuke appeared in font of her. As for Kagami she just stood there as the man came closer to her with claws outstretched. Then at the last moment Naruto pushed her out of the way and took the hit for her. Kagami screamed as Naruto started to fall. All of a sudden Kakashi appeared and grabbed the man that attacked Naruto in a headlock then disappeared and reappeared to grab the other man in a headlock too.

"Sorry I didn't come sooner before you got hurt Naruto," he said.

"Hey, are you okay scaredy(spl?) cat?" Sasuke asked as he walked pasted Naruto.

"Shut up teme!" Naruto yelled.

"That's enough Naruto," said Kakashi. "There's no time for fighting because there was poison on their claws. We need to clean the wound as soon as possible."

"Can't we just cut the wound more deeply?" asked Kagami as she looked at Naruto's wounded hand. "Wouldn't the blood flow wash the poison away?"

"Yes it would, but for right now just keep it as still as possible Naruto, so the poison won't spread." Kakashi then turned to Tazuna. "I think you and I need to talk Mr. Tazuna, right after I tie there two up." He motioned to their attackers.

Two minuets later

"Well it's obvious that they were watching and waiting for us," said Kakashi when e was done tying them up.

"But if you knew all that, why did you even let those creeps attack you?" asked Tazuna.

"I wanted to see who their real target was," he said. "Your request to the Hokage didn't mention anything about ninja attacks. Usually on C rank missions you just have to worry about bandits, but if there are shinobi after you this is more of a job for an elite ninja to do."

"So does that mean we are going back to Konoha Kakashi-sensei?" asked Sakura. "We are only genin and we have to get Naruto to a hospital so they can get the poison out."

"This is complicated," Kakashi said as he looked at Naruto.

"Kakashi-sensei, I could help get the poison out for Naruto. All I have to do is get a free flow of blood going," said Kagami. As she was turning around to go to Naruto he took his kunai knife and plunged it into his hand.

"I promise with this kunai knife that I will protect the old man with my life!" Naruto said as he looked at everyone.

"That's nice Naruto, but when Kagami said a free flow of blood she meant just to cut the wound again, but you exceeded that need. You could bleed to death. I'm serious," Kakashi said smiling at Naruto.

"What!? I don't want to die! There's so much I haven't done yet like becoming Hokage and marrying Kagami!" yelled Naruto as Kakashi started to wrap his hand.

"Ew, there is no way I'm having dobe for a brother-in-law," muttered Sasuke as he walked by twitching.

Kagami stood and looked at Naruto thinking about what he said before the attack happened. 'I guess I should tell him why I was so upset yesterday. It would only be fare too him. I mean the hurt look in his eyes where killing me. God I love him to much.' So Kagami slowly walked up to him and pulled him to the side. "Look Naruto. I'm sorry about yesterday. It's just…it was the anniversary of my clan's death and…I know that's not an excuse but when you were dissing Sasuke…I don't know, it upset me. But yeah, I'm sorry."

"It's ok Kagami. I know he's your only family that you have left." Then he pulled her to him and hugged her. "But can't I pick on him once and a while, you know just for fun."

"Ha, sure, he needs to smile more. But we're not the only Uchiha's still alive. There is one more."

"What?" Naruto said in surprise and confusion.

"I have an older brother who's still alive."

"Were has he been all these years? If he's your older brother he should be taking care of you, right?"

"Ya about that, he's a missing-nin and the one who killed our whole clan. I don't know why he did it either, I thought we where happy. But then he started to act weird then that on night…he just killed them…everyone. I have a scar on my back that was from him, my own brother tried to kill me Naruto. That's why Sasuke and I promised that we are going to kill him."

"Wow, if there's anything I can do just tell me. Ok?"

"All you have to do is stay your energetic self." She took his wounded hand and kissed it. "Besides, you want to be Hokage right, so you should worry more about that."

"That maybe true, but I love…" But before he could finish his sentence Kakashi told everyone it was time to go.

Later

"Wow!" Naruto said loudly as a big bridge came into view through the dense fog, which earned him a hit on the head from one of Kagami's fans.

"Not so loud Naruto, don't you remember that Gato's men could be around and hear us," said Kagami.

Flashback

"Um…Mr.Kakashi, there's one other thing I didn't put in my request," said Tazuna. " I didn't mention that the person who wants me dead is Gato."

"You mean Gato of Gato Shipping and Transport?" said Kakashi.

"Yes, he is the one. He came to the Land of Waves and took over our entire marine transportation and shipping industry. Gato now has a stranglehold on all forms of transportation, the lifeblood of an island nation, and a stronghold on the wealth. The only thing he has to fear, which has been underway for some time, is the completion of the bridge."

"That means that the ninjas that attacked us where working for Gato," Sasuke said as he came over to Kagami pulling her away from Naruto. "That's enough exposure of dobe for today. If you stay around him to long his stupidity will rub off on you."

"All right group listen up." Kakashi said to the four genin. "Where going to keep going and protect Mr. Tazuna, but just to warn you guys there are going to be stronger ninja out there. So that's why when we get to Mr. Tazuna's house we are going to train."

End Flashback

As the group was headed to Tazuna's house Naruto and Kagami where playing a guessing game. "Great…more training. What a drag."

"Um…Shikamaru!" Kagami said, snapping her fingers.

"Right!" Naruto yelled. "You're good at this Kagami! Ok, your turn."

Kagami thought for a moment and then brought her shirt collar up, covering most of her face. She then leaned back and pretended to be holding a book in front of her eyes.

"Now Kagami, Naruto, cut it out. We're on a very important mission here." She was so into it she did not hear Kakashi come up behind her.

"Um…Kagami." Naruto said.

"Although I shouldn't really talk since I'm never on time."

"Kagami…."

"And even when we're on a mission, I'm always reading that stupid perverted book."

"Kagami!"

"No! Naruto why would I do an impersonation of myself?!"

"No Kagami. Run."

"Why?" Naruto pointed behind her at the now livid Kakashi. She turned slowly, laughing nervously. "Did I say stupid perverted book? I meant well written novel of…um…the philosophy of uh…romance?"

"Yeah…not gonna work." Kakashi said taking them by their collars then started walking dragging Kagami and Naruto with him. Suddenly he stopped and yelled for everyone to get down. Naruto being the good boyfriend that he was pushed Kagami to the ground and shielded her with his body, just then something came flying over their heads and hit a tree. They looked up to see that that something was a huge sword. Then the swords owner appeared standing on it.
