Finding a Broken Star Part 2
Swoosh!
Kakashi Hatake followed Pakkun as he traced Naru's scent. The rest of the rescue team followed behind him in silence.
No one knew what the captured shinobi had said except for Kakashi, Shikamaru, and Yamato, but they suspected it wasn't good news because once Kakashi and the others had caught up with them he had summoned his ninken to sniff out Naru's sent.
Flashback:
"Start talking," Sai Said, placing his tanto against the ninja's throat.
Kenshin gulped as the rest of the team revealed themselves to him.
Inside his mind, Kenshin was a raging mess, "Damn you, Danzo! You said no one would look for her for at least a week," he thought.
He was pulled from his thoughts as Kakashi came up behind Sai and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Sai I'll handle this, why don't you and the others go on ahead," he said, his lone eye staring at Kenshin like he was looking into his soul.
Sai not taking his eyes away from Kenshin responded, "Are you sure? Senpai," he said.
Kakashi nodded, "It will be more beneficial for Naru's sake if the rest of you go on ahead, Yamato, Shikamaru, and I will catch up," he said.
Sai nodded, seeing his logic and removed his Tanto from his neck and re-sheathing it, "Very well Kakashi Senpai, we'll see you when you get back," he said, glancing one last time at Kenshin before disappearing in the trees with the rest of the team following behind him.
End Flashback.
Sai glanced at his Senpai. He could tell the older man was upset, and so was Shikamaru and Yamato.
He wished he'd been there to hear what the shinobi had to say.
When Shikamaru returned with Kakashi and Yamato, he was dead silent. It unnerved Ino and Choji, who knew the shadow user well enough to tell he was angry.
What on earth had happened back there, and what had that shinobi said?
The two were smart enough not to ask, but they wondered.
meanwhile.
Shikamaru was in a state of disbelief as he jumped through the trees. The information Kenshin had provided shocked him.
Flashback:
Once Sai and the others were gone Kakashi gave the unknown shinobi a look that Shikamaru could only describe as a wolf about to attack his prey.
Kakashi lifted his headband revealing his Sharingan, "So are you going to tell us where Uzumaki Naru is or am I going to have to beat it out of you," he said.
The foreign shinobi greeted his teeth but said nothing.
Kakashi's eyes narrowed, "Fine, have it your way," he said before punching him in the face, knocking it into the bark of the tree.
The shinobi turned back, so he was facing Kakashi again, but still, he refused to say anything.
Kakashi cocked his fist again, ramming it into the shinobi's abdomen, causing him to gasp for air.
The shinobi coughed a moment before he began speaking, "Ha, Ha, Danzo was right you are protective," he said.
Kakashi punched him in the face again, "So Danzo is involved then," he said.
The shinobi nodded, "Yeah, he said the fox demon had become a problem for the village and needed to be disposed of," he said.
Shikamaru's stomach clenched in a knot and he felt his hands ball into a fist, "How dare this bastard call Naru a demon when he didn't even know her. From the darkening of their eyes, Shikamaru could tell Kakashi and Yamato were sharing similar feelings.
Kakashi punched the bastard again, "Watch how you address her," he said.
The shinobi spat out blood, "Danzo said she was your whore, don't tell me you care about her," he said, which resulted in Kakashi breaking his jaw.
Kakashi stepped away from the shinobi and gave him a death stare, "Last chance, tell me where Uzumaki is," he said.
Maybe it was how he looked or how his voice sounded, but the shinobi suddenly changed his tune.
"Okay, Okay you'll find her in a ditch a view miles outside of Rain country," he said.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow, "So you know what happened to her then," he said.
The shinobi coughed some blood up before responding, "Yes, a man named Danzo Shimura hired me and my crew to pose as Leaf Shinobi and go on a mission with Uzumaki Naru. He told us the girl had become a threat to the village and needed to be disposed of. The mission was for her to kill herself," he said.
Captain Yamato let out a curse, and Kakashi just stared at the shinobi with hatred, Shikamaru didn't know how to feel. He couldn't explain it but hearing how a village elder betrayed Naru just because she held something the Akatsuki wanted due to no fault of her own was infuriating.
The Shadow user was pulled from his thoughts by Kakashi's voice, "Shikamaru go catch up with the others." he said.
Shikamaru's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but he didn't question the older man's orders. He understood the hidden meaning behind it, "Hai Sir!" he said.
End Flashback:
"Damn that bastard! I hope he burns in hell," Shikamaru thought.
He didn't have time to contemplate further because Kakashi came to a grinding stop; he held his hand up signaling the others to stop. They had reached the border of the land of Rain.
Nervous energy came over the team; they knew this was it. They had one shot to save Naru.
God help them.
Author's note: I know, I know, they haven't found Naru yet, but I promise that you won't be disappointed when they do. I want to do that chapter right and give you guys the reactions I know you want to see. So please be patient with me.
