Update: I've change the style again for this chapter. Other chapters still in the process of editing.

CHAPTER 4 – Unexpected Savior

"1… 2… 3… 4… 5 enemies…" Kakashi counted the number of enemies. Suddenly, the ninja that attacked the group earlier appeared behind Kakashi.

"Look what we have here." Kakashi held up his kunai to counter, but then furious pain shot down his arm causing him to let go on the kunai. The ninja took this chance and knocked Kakashi out.

-----

"Kakashi… Kakashi!" Kakashi slowly opened his eyes. He focused his vision, finding Rin staring at him.

"Rin!" Kakashi tried to reach for her, only to find his hands tied behind his back. "Damn it!"

"Kakashi, are you okay?" Rin crawled towards Kakashi, who was panting hard due to his wound reopening. Kakashi looked at Rin, who had a few scratches and bruises on her face, but other than that, she seemed uninjured.

"You brats should've just disappeared after that. Don't you ever thank someone when they spared your life, huh?" Kakashi managed to get up to a sitting position. After hearing what the ninja said, he glared at him. "Oh my, that's not very nice of you. Oh yeah, I haven't told you my name, have I? I'm Hasagi Hagane from the hidden village of Rain. Nice to meet you." With that, the ninja- Hasagi stuck out his hand.

"Whoops, forgot that your hands were tied." Hasagi chuckled. Suddenly, the thick layer of grass twitched behind him. Hasagi eyed one of his companions to go check out what that was. Kakashi and Rin sat there anxiously wondering what had caused the grass to twitch. Hasagi's companion came back after awhile.

"Nothing sir."

"Nothing…" Without warning, Hasagi turned around and threw his kunai at his companion who had just checked the grass. The ninja was caught by surprise and wasn't able to dodge it in time. The kunai pierced through the ninja's chest and he collapsed.

"Oh my, sorry about that. The kunai slipped out of my hand." The other ninjas around Hasagi tensed up, and stared at the ninja's corpse. Hasagi turned to Kakashi and Rin, slowly walking towards them. "You wouldn't want to end up like him, do you now?"

Kakashi gave him another glare, with Rin looking terrified behind him. "That wouldn't look very nice." A voice said behind Hasagi.

-Poof- The corpse of the ninja who Hasagi threw his kunai puffed into smoke. "Hmph, Kage Bunshin." Hasagi turned around attempting to find where the voice came from.

"Up here." Hasagi's eyes followed the voice and looked up a tree. Finding a young girl sitting on top of a branch. Kakashi and Rin followed Hasagi's gaze and found… Kitsuri. "Hi there."
