"Whaaa!" Naruto yelled as he stumbled back and lost his footing. He fell on his back and sat up rubbing the back of his head. "Ahh..."

Kakashi looked at Naruto. "He's stronger than I thought he would be..." "Good Naruto." Kakashi said as he put his hands in his pockets.

"Whaddya mean good!" Naruto pushed himself to his feet. "It's not good if I can't beat you!" He yelled.

"But you had me going a couple times..." He walked up to Naruto. "Your skills have improved..." He pokes Naruto's forehead. "...and so has your knowledge of battle."

A grin crept on to Naruto's face. "Yes it has..."

Kakashi looked back quickly to see another Naruto kick at him, but he blocks it and grabs his foot. He instinictivly catches the other Naruto's wrist as he threw a punch at him and spins. He swings both Naruto's around and throws them. One hits a tree and disappears and the other hits the ground and disappears. Kakashi looks up and sees another one send a kick at him from above. "Tricky..." He thought to himself as he flipped upward and kicked the kick from Naruto away. He grabbed Naruto's collar after completing the flip and slams him into the ground and lands on top of him. "Give up?"

Naruto looks at him with the same grin. "Nope!" Naruto grabs Kakashi's sleeves and holds him to the ground. The real Naruto is behind Kakashi with his hands forming the Tora (Tiger) seal. "Payback from along time ago...Hidden Leaf Ancient Taijutsu Supreme Technique: Sennin Goroshi! (The Thousand Years of Pain)" Naruto forcefully stuck his fingers into Kakashi's butt.

Kakashi looked at him.

POOF!

He disappeared and Naruto was shocked.

"This is how it's done Naruto..." Kakashi said from behind the real Naruto with his hands froming the Tora (Tiger) seal.

Naruto's eyes widened and filled with tears when he looked back.

"SENNIN GOROSHI! (The Thousand Years of Pain)"

"WHHHHHAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Back in the village, Raven and Sakura sit at a resturant table. Raven drinks some green tea as he looks out the window at the sky. Sakura giggled some as she looked at him. He looked over at her confused at what she was giggling about. "What?" He asked.

"Oh..." She giggled some more. "When you look at the clouds, you remind me of my friend Shikamaru. He looks at clouds all day when they are in the sky." She then felt something...something strange. "Am I...?" She tried to shake the feeling as she looked away from Raven, but when she looked at him from the corner of her vision, she felt this feeling again. It seemed to make her legs shake and her loose focus. "No...I can't...I..." She knew it...she knew this feeling...it is the same feeling she has for Naruto. She's fallen in love with this ninja that she's only known for 2 days!

"Something wrong?" He asked.

"It's nothing..." She responded, but her innerself was screaming. "It's everything! How can I love Naruto and him! That just can't be right...why do I feel this way for him!" She struggled with herself to fight off the feelings.

"So, what's life like in this village?" Raven asked as he sipped his tea.

"It's nice." She replied with a smile. "It's quiet and calm. The mornings are beautiful here, as well are the nights. Everyone is friendly and caring for one another." She looked at him and she felt short of breath. "Why...? Damnit Sakura! You get a hold of yourself this instant! RAHHH!" Her innerself raged on.

"It seems perfect...I like it here. Reminds me of my home in the past..." He said as he kept looking out the window.

"Do you...have anything planed for tonight?" She asked. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU IDIOT!" Her innerself screamed at her. She was beginning to annoy herself.

Raven looked at her. "Hmm..." He thought to himself. "I have to visit back with my sister until 7:30 tonight...after that I'm free. Why?"

"Oh...well..." She blushed alittle. "Damn you Haruno Sakura! You love Naruto! Not him!" Her innerself screamed. "It's a harmless date you idiot! So shut up!" Sakura's own thoughts screamed back. "I just wanted to...see...well what I'm saying is..." She sighed. "You suck Sakura!" Her innerself yelled. "...Do you want to go on a date?"

"A date?" Raven said suprised from the question. "Uh...um...well...Sure! Why not?" He agreed.

"Score!" Sakura's thoughts yelled in joy as the inner Sakura shook her head. "You're going to regret this..." She warned.

Outside of the village, Koubai and Mizu over look the village. Koubai pulls out a lunch pack and opens it. He eats some rice and chicken. Mizu stands looking at the village with no emotion on his face.

"So...what's your sad story of leaving your Village?" Koubai asked as he ate.

Mizu shifted his eyes to Koubai and looked at him coldly. "As you know...I come from the Hidden Mist..." He said in a calm monotone voice. He looked back down on the village. "I was a murderous child that only knew how to take orders...When I was 16 I was 2nd in command of the MMAU."

"MMAU?" Koubai asked.

"Mystical Mist Assassination Unit. The hidden mist black ops team. My squad leader along with 6 others tried to assassinate the Mizukage. I was the only one to survive after we failed...they imprisoned me and most of my village said that I only followed orders of my leaders, but the Mizukage sentanced me to death...So I escaped."

"Hmm...interesting..." Koubai said with his mouth half full.

A hawk yells out from above them.

Mizu, throws up a kunai and nails it. The hawk lands on the ground next to him with the kunai in it's wing. He looks at it. "Messenger..." He turns to it and puts his foot on it's head.

Koubai stops eating and looks at Mizu. "What are you...?"

Mizu crushes the hawks head under his weight and looks at the dead bird. He shows no emotion what so ever.

Koubai stares at him. "...You're sick...You know that?"

Mizu looks at him and turns back toward the village. He stares at the village with his cold eyes.
