The six of them walked outside of the large house. As soon as they all stepped outside, it disappeared, leaving them in the middle of the forest. So they began their trek back to the village.

Back at the village the atmosphere was much the same as it had been yesterday. Laughter of children and adults alike echoed throughout the streets.

Sakura smiled. She couldn't remember the last time Konoha was like this. Recently it had become extremely tense for some reason…

"Did any of you feel that?"

Everyone turned to look at Sasuke. "What?"

Sasuke looked up to sky and scowled. "Nothing." He muttered, and shoved his hands in his pockets.

What Sasuke thought he felt, was a raindrop. The feeling was so real, he couldn't have possibly imagined it. Perhaps it was a droplet of water carried on by the wind… In this village, anything could happen.

The day passed on quite uneventfully. Before they knew it, night had come again. Back at the house the five Konoha ninjas stood within the open doorway.

"Well, I have to go hunt now!" Naruto grinned. "I'm sure Tobi-sensei will be back soon." He added. With that, he was off.

The women headed upstairs first, while Sasuke and Kakashi stood in the doorway for a while longer.

"This village is a bit strange, isn't it?" Sasuke remarked.

Kakashi nodded, "At first I thought it was just because the entire village was populated by ninjas, but it seems a bit stranger than that…"

Sasuke sighed and quickly bounded up the stairs, with Kakashi following in curiosity.

Kakashi looked around the corner and into the room. "Why'd you bound up so quickly?" He noticed Sasuke looking through something…

Sasuke looked up from his bag, which he was currently rummaging through. "I'm going to follow Naruto. Something isn't right."

Kakashi furrowed his brow. He wanted to tell him something. Something like,' Don't go,' or 'I'm not sure that's a good idea,' but Sasuke wasn't a kid anymore. Kakashi no longer had any say over this ANBU ninja. He sighed in defeat. "Alright. Don't get caught."

Sasuke smirked, "What do you think i am? Five?"

Kakashi shrugged, "With you, you never know."

Sasuke rolled his eyes and opened up the doors to the balcony. A nice cool night breeze rushed into the room. "I'll be back in a bit."

"Yes mommy." Kakashi replied sarcastically, settling down with an empty scroll and writing utensil in hand.

Sasuke traveled stealthily through the forest, following Naruto's chakra signal. As they neared the edge of the village, the signal suddenly stopped. Confused, Sasuke quietly turned on his sharingan. Observing his surroundings, the reality of their situation finally settled in. "Shit…" he murmured, quickly hurrying back to the house. He only hoped it wasn't too late…

Kakashi was currently finishing up his report to Tsunade. It was nice and simple. He felt no need to add in that they had found Naruto. There was the possibility that they wouldn't be able to convince him to come back…

He sealed up the scroll and summoned Pakkun. "Well," he said to the small pug currently sitting in the middle of the room, "here's the report for Tsunade."

Pakkun seemed dazed for a moment.

"Pakkun? What's up?" Kakashi said, instantly on alert.

Pakkun scrunched his nose. "This place smells weird…" the dog murmured. "Kakashi, something's not right here…"

Kakashi closed his eyes and took a whiff, "I don't smell anything weird."

Pakkun scrunched his nose and sniffed again, "There's definitely something off, Kakashi. Even I can only faintly sense it, but my instincts are telling me that this village just doesn't seem quite right…"

Kakashi held on tightly to the scroll in his hands. "So what are you saying? We should get out of here as soon as possible?"

Pakkun suddenly seemed alert, "Yes Kakashi. Immediately flee this village!"

"Pakkun?" Kakashi said confused, but remained on alert.

"Kakashi, we need to leave, before it's too late!"

There were light footsteps on the balcony, clearly meant to catch their attention. Their heads snapped up to see the intruder.

Tobi let Sasuke fall in a heap onto the floor.

Kakashi could hear Sasuke moaning in pain on the ground.

"I'm afraid it's too late." The ominous figure chuckled. "Pein wouldn't be too happy if his plans were steered too far off course."

In the next moment, Kakashi's world blacked out.
