The Lost Guardians

Chpt 14: Naruto and Kakashi

Kakashi looks at Naruto as they sit on the roof, his affection for Naruto evident in his visible eye.

"Kakashi-sensei, what should I do?" Naruto looks up at the sky as the sun starts to set in the west. Birds fly across the sky heading south, the coolness in the air evidence of a coming winter. "This is village is where I truly came from. I'm the Guardian of Fire Country, the son of the Fourth, and so many things I just can't wrap my mind around." Naruto looks over at Kakashi, the confusion obvious on his whiskered cheeks. "What should I do?"

Kakashi folds his hands together and rest his chin on them, his mind struggling for an answer to this situation. "Well, I can't really tell you what to do Naruto. Like you said this village is where your mother came from, but your father was a Hokage of Konoha. Heh I'll tell you something really funny though." He looks over at his student, pride in his eyes. "Your father was my sensei, now I'm your sensei. Pretty funny huh?" Naruto smiles at the irony of it. "All I can say is here you do have a new family, but in Konoha you also have family, people who truly do care for you for who you are. You've already made so many people recognize you for who you are. And you unknowingly are trying to follow in your father's footsteps. What I do know though is this." Kakashi puts a comforting hand on Naruto's shoulder, his eye showing nothing but sincerity to his words. "No matter what you decide, you will always be welcomed in Konoha by those who love and care for you and if you do decide to stay here and become a Shinobi of the Village Hidden in the Forest, if you ever need help we're there for you…" He eye smiles down at an appreciative Naruto before standing up and starting to walk away. "Give it time before you make a hasty decision. This decision will be a life altering one, and one not to be made lightly…" He waves before poofing away with a small cloud of smoke. Naruto sighs when he sees something that scares the hell out of him. Walking down the street and coming into the compound is Lee and Sheri, except Lee isn't wearing spandex and he's carrying Sheri as she cuddles into his neck.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!!"

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!!"

Tenten looks up from a very well crafted Samurai Katana at the yell that is obviously Naruto's voice and she takes off running, the Katana held firmly in her hand. "I'm coming Naruto-kun!!"

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!!"

Kurenai's head snaps up as she poofs out of the library heading towards the roof. Please be okay Naruto.

Kye looks up towards the compound, his arm still around a dozing Sakura. "What was that?"

Sakura looks up with sleepy eyes and yawns slightly. "Oh that was just Naruto being surprised by something, probably something real stupid or extremely different." Sakura looks around before snuggling back onto Kye's shoulder. "I'm guessing its something to do with Lee.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!"

"And that would be Tenten being shocked at the same thing, so definitely Lee…" Kye looks down at Sakura as she tries to find a more comfortable spot on his shoulder, amusement at her thoughts on the situation evident clearly in his eyes. Eh, she knows her team better than me so whatever.

Lee scratches his head at the slack jawed Naruto and Tenten and the amused looks of Kurenai and Kakashi.

"Heheh, hey guys, what's up?"

Naruto face faults with Tenten before leaping back up and pointing accusingly at Lee. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WATSUP'?! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU AND WHY ARE YOU CARRYING SHERI LIKE THAT?!?!?!?!"

Lee grins before setting Sheri down, much to her disappointment, and grins at his friends. "Well me and Sheri had a small spar earlier and it tore most of my clothes to shreds, so she offered to help me pick out some new clothes." He smiles and blushes. "As for me carrying her, I can't help she's cute…" Sheri blushes before glomping Lee while Tenten passes out with foam bubbling out of her mouth.

Naruto grins and slaps Lee on the shoulder. "Way to go!! I knew you had it in ya bro!!"
