Hey, peeps. I'm back with chapter jyuu! Hope you enjoy!

"I don't feel safe," whispered Obito.

"Shhh! You'll blow our cover, Dobe!" Kakashi hissed. Minato closed his eyes and used his sensory skills. "There are about 20 Iwa-nin surrounding us."

"They're clones. The real one is hiding somewhere close by." Said Kakashi and soon the crackling of lightning could be heard. Rin stared at Kakashi's hand which was now shrouded in lightning.

"This is my ultimate jutsu. Chidori!" Along with his determination, the amount of chakra he fed the jutsu increased. "Minato-sensei, please back me up." With that, he took off towards the nearest Shinobi, but when the attack collided, the enemy disappeared in a poof of smoke.

"Damn! A clone" thought the silver-haired boy and advanced to the next target.

Soon, all the clones had been dispelled and Kakashi was closing in on the real enemy. However, in an attempt of self defense, the enemy ninja swung his sword upwards. If Minato hadn't pushed him back, Kakashi would not be having his right arm at the moment. Luckily, it just got wounded.

Minato appeared in front of the three kids as Rin was patching up Kakashi's wound. "Kakashi, what have I told you? Listen up! The most important thing for a Shinobi is….teamwork." The three lowered their heads in shame.

The Yellow Flash dropped his backpack and as soon as it fell to the ground with a thud, he teleported to where the real enemy ninja was hiding.

The Iwa-nin's eyes widened, "It… It can't be you. The Y… Yellow Flash of K… Konoha. We were warned to flee on sight if we came across you. Now I know why we-" His sentence was cut short by a kunai slicing his throat.

When he reappeared next to his team, they wished each other good luck and split up according to Minato's orders. The three students went one way while the Yellow Flash went to the battle front.

The whole time, Kakashi kept his guard up and if he heard even the slightest noise, He would get ready for an ambush.

When they were crossing a river, a twig snapped on the river bank and Kakashi slashed a wide arc with his sword, the White Fang. Obito and Rin automatically got into defensive stances, and then two Iwa-nin came into visibility.

They used Erath Style: Mud Slide, from which Kakashi and Obito escaped, but Rin wasn't so lucky. She got stuck, and before Obito or Kakashi could react, they left with Rin. Kakashi thought of going after his comrade, but abandoned the thought as his father's image came to mind.

He started walking towards their destination, when Obito grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him back. "You teme! What the hell has gotten into you? You're turning your back on Rin? She saved our lives and we owe her. If it wasn't for her, we would have been dead long ago." screamed Obito.

Kakashi's masked face remained as emotionless as ever." If she's been taken hostage then she's useless. The mission is more important than-"

"To HELL with the mission!" shouted Obito. He then pushed the boy away, clearly disgusted.

He turned around and walked a few steps, then halted and said, "I believe that the Whit e Fang, Sakumo Hatake, was a true hero. It's true that I'm a horrible ninja. In the world of Shinobi, those who break the rules are scum. But those who abandon their friends are worse than scum! I choose to be scum and not worse!" With that, the young Uchiha left to find his lost comrade.

Kakashi just stood there, stunned and as still as a statue. "What did Obito just say?" he thought, "My dad is… a hero to him?" After a moment or two, the boy followed his teammate.

So, I guess we are done. I am extremely sorry for the short chapter. I hardly had enough time for this. Good bye till next time.

Sayonara!
