The Epic Rescue of Naruto and Sakura by Kakashi and Sasuke (but mostly Kakashi


Naruto woke with a start. His arms flailing and his legs kicking out as he yelled; whoever held him cursed and dropped him. Scrambling up to his feet, the boy reached to his pocket for a kunai but-

"We took your weapons off of you a while ago, you realize." One of the captors said.

Eyes darting around, he saw a frowning Sakura tied to a rope. Shoulders drooping, he reluctantly held out an arm for them. There didn't seem to be another choice at the moment-what, with no weapons and Sakura's hands tied and held by a kidnapper. "Are ya gonna tie me up too?" He snapped.

The men look between themselves before one came forward. With a wire, he looped it around Naruto's wrist and then dragged his other up beside it to loop that wrist on top of the first one. Once satisfied, the ninja attached it to the rope that Sakura belonged to.

"Told ya taking the girl would make him cooperative," The one who tied him crowed.

Another's eyes turned into a glare. "Shut up Gorou," they grumble.

Naruto took note of his name. He was going to kill him first.


A number of (very boring) hours later, stomach growling and Sakura up ahead stifling yawns; the blond decided now would be as good a time as any to bring up his complaints.

"C'mon! I'm hungry! Can't we stop for a bit?!" He whined loudly as he dragged them to a halt and stomped his foot.

The girl's head turned, eyes wide and she muttered "Nar-" before she was made to shriek as she saw a fist drive into Naruto's face.

"You're the one that is kidnapped, we are in control! Not you!" The man-Gorou-roared.

"Gorou!" Another yelled, grabbing the brick-house built man away from Naruto. Eyes burning as he held onto Gorou, the taller man hissed; "We are to return the boy minimally bruised! Not brain damaged.

Sakura couldn't help herself; "Might be too late for that," she grumbled under her breath as she gazed down at the prone body of her teammate.

Sen laughed from where he was in front of her. "Aren't you a funny one?" He chuckled, eyes alight.

"Fraternizing Sen, Fraternizing," The leader of the team sighed.

"Right, sorry senpai!" The ninja apologized causing the man to groan and turn back to Gorou as he returned to chewing him out for hitting Naruto. Winking at her, Sen whispered in conspiratorially "I have a couple power bars in my bag, if you'd like to hang on to them to give to your boyfriend when he wakes up."

The pink-haired girl eyed him warily. She wasn't sure what to make of Sen. He seemed pretty creepy...but he was the nicest one thus far. "Sure..." she allowed and with a happy crinkling of his eyes, he reached into his knapsack and pulled out the bars to give Sakura. "There!" He exclaimed happily as she took them and juggled them into her pockets as the wires dug into her skin.

"Let's go," Shiro called as Gorou came up behind and picked Naruto off the ground to toss over his shoulder.

Slowly, they begin again and Sakura sent several looks between the teammates. Gorou was short tempered. Shiro was the leader. And Sen...Sen she might be useful for them if a chance to escape ever came up.

She really hoped a chance came soon (and that Naruto be awake, she didn't think she was strong enough to carry him far).


A little bit of Sakura and Naruto again. I'm trying to flesh out the kidnappers a bit, give you a better idea of what they're like. What do you guys think of them so far?

To reviewers, Prescripto13, Harvesangel99, The Goliath Beetle, Rosebunse, ZaneWalker, and Aemilius95; you guys rock :) I'm so pleased to see that my goal was surpassed this chapter for reviews and I'm still willing to hold to my end of the deal. If there are fifty reviews by the time I post chapter eleven, the fifty-first reviewer will get a on-shot of their choice in any of the fandoms I have previously written.

Thanks for reading and please review!
