Promise 25
A boy in a green jumpsuit jumped and landed in front of a young silver-haired boy. His face showed annoyance towards the black haired boy.
"What do you want now Gai?" Kakashi asked.
"My rival! Let's spar! Today is the day I beat you!" Gai exclaimed.
"Don't waste your time." The boy returned to his shuriken training and landed three shuriken dead on target.
"Come on!" Gai shouted as he waved his arms in the air excitedly.
Kakashi stared at him annoyed of the loud boy. Then he turned his head to see to others.
"Hey Gai, who you bugging now?" a boy chewing on a toothpick asked. He was with a girl with bright red eyes.
"Oh hi Asuma! Hello Kurenai! I'm bugging Kakashi here to spar with me." The two said ninja looked down at the much shorter silver haired boy.
"What are you doing bugging a kid?" Kakashi frowned at this. He hated being called a kid.
"He's my rival! He's a chunnin ya know?"
"That's impossible! A small fry like him couldn't even be genin classed!" Asuma chortled. This went over the line with Kakashi's patience. In seconds Asuma was sprawled and pinned down to the ground with Kakashi on top of him sitting cross legged.
"I'm not a kid. I won't lose to a bunch of genin like you."
"Hey get off him!" Kurenai shrieked at him.
"Tch." Kakashi got off and soon walked off alone into the woods to train alone.
"Jerk!" Asuma shouted.
"Kakashi…" Gai's eyes softened. His friend was always alone.
Naruto and gang were making speedy progress through the forest. Sasuke was tracking Kakashi with his sharingan.
At this rate, we'll get to Kakashi in no time! Naruto thought.
Everyone was running at a steady and even pace. The greenery around them was all in a blur, the wind brushed onto their faces as they let off warm breaths into the forest.
This is the perfect place for my plans! The centre point of the 5 great lands!
Kuryo stood in a clearing in the woods. He smirked evilly and began drawing out Kakashi's chakra along with his own. The birds around the area chirped and squawked noisily as they fluttered about, nervous around the sudden spike of dark chakra.
Kuryo began making the necessary hand signs for the first stage of his "plan". He smirked delightedly as Kakashi screamed in the back of his head.
Sasuke's crimson eyes widened.
"There's a sudden spike of chakra! 5 kilometers away! We should hurry!"
As the distance between them and Kakashi shortened, the ninja's could feel the coldness in the air.
Is this because of the dark chakra Kuryo is using? It's so cold… Kaka-sensei, hang on! Naruto thought.
The ninjas quickened their pace, hearts heavy with worry. They passed by animals and other creatures that started coming out of their hidden shelters and were running in their opposite direction. Birds flocked in the thousands and their squawks were ear piercing.
"Faster!"
The ninja's could only hope that they could stop Kuryo in time.
Gai, Asuma, and Kurenai had gathered their teams. They met up with Jiraiya, Rin and Obito at the village gates. They had alerted the people to evacuate immediately.
"I've alerted the other villages about this. They should be evacuating the citizens as well. I don't know what Kuryo is planning so we need to stay on guard. Clear?"
All the ninja's nodded. But just as they were about to set off, the ground shook and rumbled violently…
