Chapter 20: Find Sasuke

Ishiku was walking towards the hospital to check up on Sasuke, ever since the gang had got back there was only the thought of losing a comrade that was going through their mind. Ishiku arrived at the hospital and walked in; when he got to the lobby he noticed that Misaki was sitting at the nearby bench while a nurse healed her cuts and bruises she received from the battle. The nurse got up and walked off after she had finished her job.

"So how are you felling Misaki?" Said Ishiku.

"The nurse said that I'll be fine, nothing serious" Misaki responded kissing Ishiku on the lips.

"I'm guessing your here to see Sasuke"

"Yeh just checking to see if he's alright"

"Well while I'm here I visit him to" Ishiku and Misaki walked down the corridor towards Sasuke's room. Ishiku knocked at the door waiting for a reply but no one responded.

"Maybe he's asleep" said Misaki.

Ishiku turned the handle of the door and quietly looked in the room, but when he saw that Sasuke wasn't there he quickly barged into the room. He looked around the room to make sure he was there but he didn't see anything even his clothes where gone.

"Where could he be?" Said Misaki, Ishiku then noticed that the window was wide open which; Ishiku suddenly knew where he was.

"So he went to save Sakura, even when he is still recovering from his last fight. Well I can't blame if it had been Misaki in Sakura's position I would have done the exact same thin" Ishiku said looking at Misaki.

"Ishiku what is it, why are you looking at me?"

"Sasuke, he's gone off to try and save Sakura, we need to go tell the others about this" Ishiku and Misaki quickly dashed towards the Hokage tower where the rest of the team was debriefing there last mission. Ishiku then burst through the door.

"Ishiku what is the mean of this interruption" Said Tsunade

"Sasuke he's gone"

"What, when did this happen"

"Not sure but when we got to his room he wasn't there"

"He's gone after Sakura hasn't he"

"That is correct"

"Well then it can't be helped, Kakashi I want your team to track Sasuke down before he gets himself killed, if he is to reach the hideout before you get there then your mission will be to find Sakura and rescue her. Also i want you to take Hinata with you as well; her Byakugan will be of great use on this mission"

"Understood Lady Hokage, Alright everyone meet at the gate in about ten minutes and be prepared this mission could be our toughest one yet, failure is not an option"

"Roger" everyone then rushed out of the room leaving Kakashi behind.

"Kakashi I need to ask you one more thing"

"What is it milady"

"Please bring back my pupil safe, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if she died" said Tsunade with a short stream of tears coming from her eyes.

"Don't worry we will bring her back no matter what" Replied Kakashi as he then left the building, with the intention of keeping the promise.
