Sorry for not updating for such a long time! I've been so busy with Christmas, so I haven't had that much time to write... Not only that, but a little writers block doesn't help... Anyway, same old, same old... Thanks to all the readers/reviewers!


Kalisha zipped out of Konoha and ran into the forest. Naruto was finding it difficult to keep up with her without being spotted. Every once in a while, she would stop and scan the area. After a few seconds of scanning, and Naruto catching up, she would speed off in a different direction. Soon after, she made it to a clearing where Kakashi and Ruki were standing. She decided to hide in the trees to see what was going on.

"You know, Ruki, I just want to know, who's Kalisha?" Kakashi asked.

"Oh, shit… I slipped before, didn't I?" Ruki thought. "Uhh… she's… a friend of mine, a fox friend."

"Really…" he didn't seem convinced. He actually seemed a little disappointed. "You said she was here."

"Well, she was here…" Suddenly, a man jumped down in front of the two. "What are you doing, sir?" Ruki asked through his thoughts. "Kalisha's not even here!"

"Yes she is. Can you not sense her Chakra?" the man asked.

Ruki didn't respond for a few seconds. "Yes, you're right."

"Who are you?" Kakashi asked the strange man. The man was a little taller than Kakashi. He had dark green eyes and dark brown hair. His hair was very short. He had a black shirt and black pants on. His shirt was partially covered by his dark blue vest. He did have a headband with the Konoha symbol on it.

"Ruki, come here." he commanded. Ruki hopped onto the man's shoulder. "You are Hatake Kakashi… are you not?" he asked.

"What of it?"

"My name is Nopatu Opitcha."

"You seem familiar… Why are you here?"

"I am here because my daughter failed to kill you."

"Your daughter… Kalori?" Kakashi asked, stunned.

"Kalori?" Opitcha asked confused. "Oh, Ruki, you didn't tell me that she used a different name."

"Sorry, sir…" Opitcha threw Ruki and he hit a tree. He fell unconscious. Kalisha was about to go and help Ruki, but she stopped remembering what she was doing. "You don't even know who she is, do you?"

Kakashi's visible eye opened a little more. Opitcha took out a kunai and threw it at Kakashi. Kakashi easily dodged it, but to see another kunai flying at him. Once again, he dodged it right into the path of a Chinese star. Kakashi was about to be struck when another Chinese star flew out and countered it. Kalisha had thrown it.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Kalisha asked Opitcha as she stepped out of the forest.

"Aren't you happy to see your father?"

"I know damn well you are not my father! I may not know who my real father is, but at least I know you aren't my father!" Kalisha took out a shuriken and posed to throw it at Opitcha. He didn't seem phased at the action that she took.

"So, you've been told by the fox that I'm not your real father…" he responded coolly. "Then the fox will have to die." Opitcha began to advance towards the unconscious Ruki. Kalisha fired her shuriken right in front of Opitcha and he stopped.

"Don't you dare take another step, or I swear I will kill you." Kalisha threatened. Opitcha only gave a smirk. "What's so funny?

"You are." he answered. Opitcha held up his hand towards the forest.

"What the fuck is he doing?" she wondered. She looked in the direction his hand was facing to sense chakra over in that direction. She gasped. "Naruto, get out of there!" she cried.

"Too late." Opitcha told her. His hand began to glow blue.

"Oh, no you don't!" Kalisha yelled. She immediately performed some hand signs and a barrier appeared around the forest where Opitcha's hand was facing. "Nice try." she taunted. Naruto came out from behind the tree where he was hiding.

"You think that's going to stop me?" Opitcha asked. "I know what your weakness is."

"Oh, yeah? What is it then?" Kalisha began to stop paying attention to the barrier she was putting up. It began to shrink. Kakashi was still standing in the same spot where he was before, although he did notice the barrier shrinking.

"Keep concentrating on the barrier." Kakashi tried to tell her. She obviously didn't hear him because she was too busy arguing with Opitcha through thoughts.

"You still haven't answered my question." Kalisha told Opitcha.

"Would you believe me if I said you had two weaknesses?"

"What?"

Kalisha looked in horror at Opitcha. He was still holding his hand in the same place, although it was glowing even brighter than before. Naruto was right at the edge of the barrier, which was becoming smaller each passing second. In no time, he was out.

"Observe as I use one of your weaknesses to bring you back to my side!" Opitcha exclaimed.


That's all for now, folks! I probably won't be updating until after Christmas, but you never know. I might get enought time. You know now that I likegetting reviews.
