Kiddo:-Doing happy dance- Oh yeah, chapter 7 out in record timing!

Naruto: You're still an idiot…
Kiddo: Shut it Naruto…For that, you're gonna look like a wussy compared to Sasuke and Kim!
Naruto: What! No please don't! –Grabs Kiddo by the legs- I'm begging you!

Kiddo: I ain't?

Kakashi: Nope, Naruto's evil –smiles-
Kim: Yay! I feel better.
Naruto: -Sighs- KiddoShinobi doesn't own Naruto or any of its characters…
Kiddo: But I do own a cute Kakashi Plushie...And a soul or two… Enjoy!

I ran through the forest at a fair speed. It was the tenth mission of the week and Naruto looked like he was gonna snap, Mar was close behind and was a bit tired out from all the missions, Sasuke was in front of us but was cool about the situation as he was the last nine missions, then there's me. I took the quick lead and settled on a branch of a tall tree, where I was twelve o'clock form the target. All this these missions where simple and easy, a good practice for when I work my way up.

"Kakashi-Sensei, I'm in position" Naruto whispered into the Walkie-Talkie waiting for an answer, but he got none. "Kakashi-Sensei?"

"Kakashi-Sensei?" Mar asked getting a bit scared. "Hey Kim can you get a hold of Sensei?"

"His probably listening to his radio again" Sasuke mumbled into his Walkie-Talkie.

"I'll see what I can do" I answered as I tampered with the signal me and Niisan were using. "Kakashi-Niisan?"

When I finally got the signal a minute later I felt like singing since I was hearing my favorite song!

"Kakashi-Niisan!" I shouted, startling him "We're in position of the target"

"Alright move on my signal" He answered still a bit startled. "And go…"

With that I gave Mar, Sasuke, and Naruto the signal to get the target. Naruto and I got the lead jump but Naruto got scratched and landed on top of it…

"Get this stupid cat off me!" Naruto shouted as the orange tabby scratched at him.

"Did you catch the target?" Kakashi-Niisan asked through the Walkie-Talkie as I pulled the cat off Naruto.

"Affirmative" Sasuke answered boredly as the cat let go. "Kim's peeling it off of Naruto right now…"

"Kitty!" Mar shouted as she cuddled the beast while it purred in her arms. "Do we have to give it back?"

Yes" Naruto and Sasuke said at the same time making her frown.

In the Mission Office

I felt sorry for that orange ball of fluff, as it got smothered by its large owner.

"I wanted the kitty…" Mar whined as the lady paid for the job. "I'll follow her home and steal it…"

"Mar, you can't steal the cat" Sasuke mumbled as me and Kakashi-Niisan had anime sweat drops on our heads.

"For team 7's next mission, a family needs someone to watch over their three year old daughter and their ten year old son." The Hokage read from the mission list, making Naruto snap.

"What!" Naruto shouted, startling the Hokage. "Why do we have we have to watch over some people's kids!"

"Are you gonna hit him or should I?" I mumbled to Kakashi-niisan, making him nervously smile.

"Naruto be more respectful towards the Hokage!" Iruka-Sensei yelled at Naruto, which leads us to the whole mission level explanation.

"Come on! Give us something more challenging!" Naruto shouted back, making the Hokage smirk a bit.

"Very well, you get a C rank mission." The Hokage smirked as he read the new mission. "Team 7, your new mission is to escort a person back to their home land."

"Aww…I wanted to watch over the little kids…" Mar whined as I pat her shoulder.

"So who do we get to escort?" Naruto asked exited. "A princess? A duke? Who?"

And as if on cue a drunk looking man came into the room dicing us.

"So these are the ones that are supposed to protect me?" He complained as he took a drink. "A pink fanatic, a moody kid, a strange looking girly girl, and a shrimp."

He passed the line! No one calls me a girly girl and gets away with it! I was so going Anbu on his hide!

"Hey who are you calling a girly girl/shrimp?" Me and Naruto shouted in anger as we ran at him just to get the back of our shirts grabbed by non-other then Kakashi-Niisan.

No killing the client" Kakashi-Niisan said calmly, making me glare at him. "Or going Anbu on him."

"Fine…" I mumbled, poking Naruto so he'd stop. "Knock it off Naruto…"

So this was our mission. Starting tomorrow we had to protect this bridge builder named Tasuna that didn't respect us at all! This wasn't gonna be easy…

The next day outside

Naruto ran in front of the group, pretending to be an all cool and all great shinobi. Didn't fool me.

"Kakashi-Sensei" Mar asked/whined. "How long is this trip?"

"Hmm…about 80 km or so" Kakashi-Niisan answered quickly thinking it over.

"Or 16 hours" I added as I looked around. "If we continue this speed of 5 km an hour…plus the hour and a half boat ride…"

"How would you know?" Tasuna asked a bit snobby, making me grow a bit angry.

"Believe it or not Kim's father is the strategizer for Konoha's Anbu squad. So on his spare time his been teaching her math." Kakashi-Niisan simply explained making me grin.

"Wait what?" Mar asked confused. "I don't get it?"

"Neither do I…" Naruto confessed in confusion. "And what I really wanna know is if Kim and Kakashi-Sensei are related why would he say "Kim's father" and not "our father", and I also want to know why he wears a mask!"

"For one Naruto, I'm an only child" I answered while putting my arm around his shoulder, making Sasuke glare at him. "Secondly, Kakashi-niisan saved me, stayed with me at the hospital until kind people came to adopt me and trains my every day. As for the mask part…"

"Maybe we should leave that for when their older" Kakashi-niisan whispered making Naruto curious. "You're still scared about it..."

"We wanna know!" Mar and Naruto shouted with excitement. "Tell us!"

"Don't remind me…" I mumbled making them really curious.

"Tell us!" They blurted out as they got a bit close.

"Well…about four years ago…I was experimenting with some ramen." I started in a low gloomy voice. "The only problem was…it burnt a hole in the bowl and it also burned the chopsticks in half…Luckily, I managed to find a bowl to put it in so I could throw it out…"

Naruto and Mar were really getting into the story, even Sasuke and the bridge builder seemed interested.

"But…I was too clumsy…" My voice was getting cracked up and a bit shaky, making Mar, Naruto and even Sasuke get closer. "When I walked through the living room…I tripped and it fell all over…Kakashi-Niisan."

Their eyes grew wider then they where before. I mentally smiled but made it seem like I couldn't continue.

"Maybe you should stop." Kakashi-Niisan whispered in the same gloomy voice.

"No!" Mar and Naruto pleaded. "Please continue!"

"Ok…I'll try…" I mumbled taking in deep breaths. "I covered my eyes as I heard a bloody scream…When I opened my eyes…Kakashi-Niisan was missing an eye!"

"AAAAAH!" Mar and Naruto screamed as they ran around freaked out. "KAKASHI-SENSEI'S MISSING AN EYE!"

Naruto and Mar ran around for awhile while Sasuke stood their in shock. Making me and Kakashi-Niisan laugh for awhile until Naruto stopped dead in his tracks, tripping Mar in the process.

"Wait…what does that have to do with Kakashi-Niisan wearing a mask?" Naruto asked extremely confused now.

"I don't know Naruto…I don't know…" Mar answered as she got up. "What do you think Sasuke? Sasuke?

"Sasuke? Yo Sasuke! You in there?" I said as I poked him, making him tip over. "Uh-oh…"

Later

Thank God Sasuke woke up five minutes after that or else that trip would have taken longer then 16 hours. We've been waking for thirteen and a half hours now and everyone seemed to be getting annoyed with Naruto's cool act. Sasuke was about to hit him when Mar grabbed his arm and told him not to. I on the other hand felt like killing Tasuna for being so snobby and for calling me a wussy. We kept walking for awhile when a puddle caught my eye. Kakashi-Niisan gave me a quick nod as we kept the pace when suddenly…These strange chains rapped around him, tearing him to shreds!

"Nii-san!" I shouted, what I didn't realize was my face was covered in tears. Those bastards will pay…

Mar's point of view

"Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto and I shouted. I felt terrible for Kim, having to watch Sensei go like that…I didn't know what to do… I watched as Kim wiped something from her face.

"Mar…protect the bridge builder…" Kim's tone was harsh, much like Kakashi-Sensei's when he tried to explain teamwork to us. "Naruto you're the last line of defense…If anything happens to me and Sasuke…I want you to take Mar and Tasuna and run for Konoha to get back up. Sasuke and I will take down our unwanted guests…"

Naruto and I just nodded, as Kim and Sasuke got into fighting position.

"Which one do you want?" I heard Sasuke mumble to her. "Left or right?"

"I'll take the right" Was all Kim said as she got ready.

Naruto's point of view

I was still in shock, Kakashi-Sensei…was gone…but…Kim still took charge of the mission…why couldn't I do anything to help!

"Two down…" I heard a voice whisper behind me making completely freeze up.

"Sasuke now!" I heard another voice shout as a shuriken came flying from one direction and a kunai from another, pinning the chain the two enemies' where using to a tree. Kim ran at the guy on the right and started hurling punches at him while Sasuke began to toss kicks at the other guy. The guy on the left was about to attack along with the guy on the right when the dynamic duo hopped onto both of them before they could, braking the chain from both guys. Kim and Sasuke quickly jumped off them as they ran passed me and towards Mar and Tasuna!

"Mar!" Kim shouted as she ran after them.

Sasuke's point of view

I watched as both enemies ran at Mar and the old bridge builder. I had to do something! Mar has been one of my closest friends since the first grade!

"I won't fail Kim…" Mar whispered as they got closer. "I'll protect you Tasuna-san.

I followed Kim after them when she used one of them as a ramp to toss herself into the air and land in front of Mar with a kunai in her hand.

Kim's point of view

I wasn't gonna let them get Mar or Tasuna! If I ever learned anything from Obito-Niisan, it was to never leave your friends and comrades to die. When it comes down to it…they come first…the mission later! I waited for the impact when I heard a voice.

"Kim!" I looked over the two enemies, just to see Sasuke yelling.

I was about to lose my grip and focus when a blur came caught the two enemies. "Niisan!" I shouted with joy as Naruto looked over to where his remains were suppose to be, just to see a pile of wood.

"Sorry I took so long Naruto" Kakashi-Niisan. "And because of that, you got hurt…"

"Whew…That was a close call…" I mumbled under my breath. "I thought I might have to take them down…"

"You did a great job Kim" Kakashi-Niisan smiled through his mask. "You took control of that mission like a true leader. I'm also proud of you and Sasuke, Mar. You guys stood your ground, even though the mission was against you."

"Yay!" Mar shouted with joy, as she pulled me and Sasuke into a victory dance. But I couldn't focus on that right now…Naruto looked pissed.

Sasuke walked over to Naruto and smirked at him. "You're not hurt are you? Scaredy cat…"

Naruto couldn't stand it, he was about to attack Sasuke when Kakashi-Niisan gave me the His-in-no condition-to-fight look. Quickly I held Naruto back, so he wouldn't move so much.

"Save it Naruto…These guys have poison in their claws…The more you, move the faster it spreads." Kakashi-Niisan warned.

Naruto looked like he felt useless…I couldn't blame him. I hated to feel useless too…

"It's ok Naruto…" Mar said as she put her hand on his left shoulder. "It was our first fight. Don't beat yourself up…"

"Yeah, to tell you the truth…I was scared too." I confessed. "So don't worry about it k?"

"Tasuna-san, I need to speak with you." Kakashi-Niisan said seriously.

?'s point of view

I watched as those stupid leaf ninjas tied up The Demon Brothers…Should have know they didn't stand a chance against Kumotama and the Copy Ninja…It was time for plan B.

"These look like Chuunins from the Hidden Mist Village…" I heard the copy ninja explain to the bridge builder. He was of no concern to me…or The Hidden Cloud…All that mattered was the destruction of Kumotama…

Well that's it for now peeps. I'll Have chapter 8 out in top speed. Promise.
