Hi I decided to update twice in sort amount of time to make up for the long
wait on my chapters. Be proud of me. The reason it takes so long is I write
them out freehand then type them, it cuts back on my errors and allows me
to make the chapters better. On with chapter 4. Today's word bank, I have
no idea what dobe means, I think it means dunce. Ge-nin is a low level
ninja. Chu-nin middle level ninja, Jou-nin high rank ninja. Kyuubi is the
nine tail fox demon's name or something like that.
The great rescue.
After they had eaten Kakashi went over the plan on how to rescue Kurogane sensei. The plan was to scout the hospital Kurogane was being held at in the morning. One of the children was going to pretend to be seriously hurt, while the other two would wonder around the hospital to find the exact location of the missing sensei. Later at night they would go back and rescue him. They'd be able to leave in the early morning if everything went according to plane.
"So is all of that clear?" Kakashi asked. He received nods from the three ge-nin. Okay then it's time for bed. We have a very important mission tomorrow so sleep well. Kakashi said as he plopped down on the couch and supposedly fell asleep. The other decided they might as well go to sleep as well.
Sasuke and Naruto went into their room while Sakura went into her own. Sakura thought it would be a good idea to actually sleep tonight instead of her normal routine. Sasuke and Naruto on the other hand stayed up a little longer to argue over who got what bed. Sasuke got tired of the argument quickly and told Naruto to shut-up and pick a bed already. Naruto huffed, but chose the bed near the window and tried to go to sleep. He found he was restless and couldn't sleep, his mind wondered onto memories of the past. People staring at him with hate; the glares that felt like dagger on his back. The feeling of utter loneliness it gave him to be rejected so much and to not know why. These thoughts soon grew to dark nightmares.
-
In the dream he saw the nine tail fox demon attacking the village. Ninjas attacking the demon the dieing soon after. Blood was every were. Naruto felt terrified, this was not something he wanted to see. (Kyuubi, are you showing me this?) Naruto asked the fox. It stirred in his mind, but like always said nothing. (Why? Didn't you already do enough to me? I apologized, no more please?) Naruto begged. The dream shifted to memories Naruto had desperately tried to block. People avoiding him at all cost. Mothers telling their children not to go near him. Saying they might be corrupted by him. The beating he had received for no reason other then him having the fox sealed in him. (Stop! No more! Please, this hurts too much!) But the images continued to Muizki's betrayal, how he had tried to use Naruto so he could gain power. How he had tried to kill Naruto, how Iruka had gotten hurt trying to save him. Then it went to the water county, Sasuke saving his life, seeming to die in his hands.
-
Out side of the dream Sasuke had awaken due to being a light sleeper. Muffled cries came from Naruto. Sasuke glared at the still sleeping boy before getting up to investigate. Sasuke was shocked to see Naruto was crying in his sleep. (Should I wake him?) Sasuke asked himself. He wasn't sure how to deal with situations like this. (Saving Naruto is one thing, but waking him up is another.) Sasuke thought staring to debate with himself. He might have gone on longer if Naruto hadn't started to cry louder, as though he was in pain.
-
The nightmare had taken even darker tones by taking Naruto's memories and Kyuubi's, blending them into terrifying images for the poor boy. His head pounding again he cried out again in pain. He really wanted this to stop. It was at this time he felt hands grabbing him and shaking him. He fought back, thing it to be another adult trying to beat him.
-
Sasuke was shocked when Naruto tried to pull away from him, as far as he could tell the blond was still asleep. "Come on Naruto wake up." he said as he tried again to wake the boy. "I'm not going to hurt you dobe." he added after Naruto tried to pull away again. (Maybe I need a different approach to this?) Sasuke thought as he look around the room, his eyes falling jug of water by the bed. A smirk found its way to his lips.
-
Naruto had escaped the potential beater only to find him self drowning. (Wait, drowning? I never drowned.) Naruto thought groggily, his eyes opening slowly to see Sasuke above him with a water jug in him hands.
"AHAAA!" Naruto screamed pushing Sasuke away from him, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Waking you." Sasuke replied calmly, "You were having a nightmare so I woke you."
"Why?" Naruto asked. (Sasuke wouldn't care if I had a nightmare, would he? I mean he's a heartless bastard, right?)
"For one thing it woke me up." Sasuke said, "For another we have a mission tomorrow, so we both need sleep"
"Oh, right sleep." Naruto mumbled to the floor.
"Do you think you'll be able to sleep?" Sasuke asked surprising the blond and himself with the question.
"I think so,' Naruto responded and gave the taller boy a questioning look, "Why do you care?"
"Like I said earlier, dunce, it's more out of curiosity then caring, I just want to know if you're going to fall asleep or something during our mission." (Please by that. Why the hell did I even ask, it's not like I care. Do I care?) Another part of his mind answered, (Of course you care he's your teammate, and you care about Sakura too. You even care about Kakashi. They're the closes thing to family you so your going to care about them.)
"Don't call me Dunce!" Naruto shouted breaking Sasuke out of his realizations.
"Let's just go to bed." Sasuke sighed.
-
Some how Naruto and Sasuke both managed to go back to sleep. In the morning Naruto acted like the nightmare had never happened.
"Good Morning!" Naruto called happily to his teammates and teacher.
"Morning." Sakura yawned.
"Yo." Kakashi responded, "We didn't go over which one of you was going to be hurt, so volunteers?"
"I'll do it." Naruto offered.
"I don't know if you should," Kakashi said, "You heal way too quickly. It might make some people suspicious."
Naruto pouted, but didn't object. (Good reasoning, we don't want people to know they have a demon in there mist.) Naruto thought darkly.
"I'll do it." Sakura volunteered. Kakashi nodded his agreement.
"Alright then come here, I need to give you a cute on your arm. Don't worry it wont be fatal. I'll even heal it when we get back." Kakashi said taking out a kunai. "This may sting." He commented as he cut her arm. "Let's go and Sakura don't forget to cry loudly and long."
Sakura transformed into Reni and started wailing. The boys followed with their own transformations and Kakashi in his own.
-
At the hospital Kakashi as Arashi played the part of over protective mother. She made demands to see a doctor right away. Reni during the whole thing cried her heart out, screaming in pain, not to mention begging for her mommy when the doctor did come. At some point Yuko and Kitsune made there escape. At first they were together then split up when Yuko supposedly was focused on something else. Giving the illusion of Kitsune giving big sister the slip.
Yuko wandering in the direction of the emergency care rooms. While Kitsune went to the recovery rooms. Yuko didn't find any sign of Kurogane. Kitsune did. She found a room with two ninja guards. She spoke into her walky-talky
"Yuko, I think I found him, there are two guards guarding one of the recovery rooms."
"Kit, I want you distract the guards, I'll find out if it's him."
"Roger." Kitsune answered then made her way to the guards, tears filling her yes, "I can't find my mommy!"
The two guards looked down at the crying fox confused.
"I can't find Mommy! Please help me find Mommy." The little fox look adorable as she gave them puppy eyes. She cried louder when they didn't respond to her begging. The guards looked at each other then back to crying girl. They knew they were defeated. She was just too cute.
"We'll help, don't cry." One guard caved in.
"What dose your mother look like?" The other asked.
"She's pretty." Kitsune sniffed.
"I'm sure she is, but was she look like?" The first guard asked, "Dose she have black hair? Blond hair?"
While Kitsune gave a vague description of Arashi, Yuko slipped into the room. It had one occupant, a man that looked to be in his early 30rdies. He had black spiky hair and his head band had the Hidden Leaf symbol. He was also dressed in the jou-nin uniform. This was Kurogane sensei. Yuko left unsure if her presents had been sensed by the teacher or not. All that matter was faze one of mission rescue was complete.
Yuko went down the hall then walked back again. She called, "Kitsune! There you are. Come on mom's wait for us." Yuko grabbed her little sister's arm gently and continued to scold her for wondering off. Kitsune waved good bye to the confused looking guards.
Back in the examination room Reni had gotten her arm taken care of and Arashi was calming down, that was until she noticed the absents of her other two children. Luckily for the nursing staff, Yuko and Kitsune showed up before their mother could panic again.
Arashi stared to scolded her children as she dragged them out of the hospital. Once they were at the apartment. Kakashi healed Sakura's arm completely and asked the other two what they had found out.
"He's in room 22B." Sasuke started.
"Two guards, real pushovers if you ask me." Naruto interrupted.
"He seems fine. He didn't even look hurt." Sasuke continued.
Kakashi thought a minute before laughing harshly. "Then he let him self get captured again."
"What do you mean again?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, he lets himself get capture. He says he dose it out of boredom." Kakashi laughed. "I'm going to kill him after we spring him lose."
"What happened to your "don't kill the people you're going to protect" police?" Naruto asked.
"Doesn't count with old ninja fools." Kakashi replied.
-
(A hospital is a lousy place to hold some one captive.) Kakashi thought as he and Sasuke infiltrated the building. (First off, it's why too easy to break into. It's not like most of the people in here are trained to stop people from breaking into it. Security sucks here. It's even easier with Naruto on guard duty.) Kakashi smiled at the thought.
He and Sasuke made it to room 22B, knocked out the guards and entered the room. (Naruto's right, pushovers.) Kakashi smiled again. Inside was Kurogane, ... laughing.
"Took you long enough, Kakashi." the older teacher smiled evilly.
"We'll talk after we're out of here." Kakashi snapped.
"You always were jumpy."
Kakashi responded by glaring at the older man. "Let's just go."
They made an easy escape out the back. Once at the apartment they made a quick sweep, getting rid of all evidence that they had ever been there. Soon after they made their departure. All in all it had taken about two hours to get from the point in which they rescued Kurogane sensei to getting with a mile of Hidden Left.
"I think we can rest now, Kakashi." Kurogane laughed a little at the death glare he received.
"I guess we can, but you have to answerer this, why the hell do you let your self get captured?!" Kakashi glared. He then turned to glare at Naruto because the boy had given a shot of joy at the prospect of resting.
"First introduce your students, then I'll tell you." Kurogane replied as he sat down on a rock. The three ge-nin in question moved to make themselves comfortable. Naruto just plopped down of the ground next to Kurogane's rock. Sasuke leaned on a nearby tree and Sakura sat down not far from Sasuke on another rock.
"The blond next to you is Uzumaki Naruto. Haruno Sakura and Uchina Sasuke." Kakashi said pointing to each one in turn, "Now answerer the damn question."
"It was easier to get information. The guards if you didn't notice were stupid and liked to talk." Kurogane smiled, "Seemed to think I was a harmless, senile old ninja."
"You are senile." Kakashi pouted.
"So you say." Kurogane said continuing to smile, "So besides you finally passing a team, what other news worthy things have happened in the last six years?"
"YOU"VE BEEN CAPTURED FOR SIX YEARS?!" Naruto blurted out loudly.
Kurogane laughed, "No, I've been captured for a week. I've been out on missions outside of the village for six years."
"Oh." Naruto sighed with some form of relief.
"Not much." Kakashi answered.
"Well, I'm proud you passed a team finally. Do you still fight with Gai?"
"Sometimes. I still can't figure out how he keeps finding me." Kakashi said with a almost pained expression.
"You know Gai, weird in every way." Kurogane laughed. Kakashi joined in.
"Um, if you don't mind my asking, how do you too know each other?" Sakura asked unable to hold in the question any longer.
"I don't mind. I used to teach at the academy, so at one point Kakashi was my student, though not for long. He graduated early. Let's see, I also was on some missions with him when I became a juo-nin. I got board of being a chu-nin after a while."
"How old are you?" Naruto asked trying to figure out how he could have been Kakashi's teacher when he looked 30ish.
"I'm 46." Kurogane laughed at the shocked faces of Naruto and Sakura. "Hey Kakashi, I think this one's broken." he said pointing to Sasuke, when he got a glare from the boy he smiled, "Never mind, he moved."
"Kurogane, be nice." Kakashi sighed. Kurogane just smiled.
Naruto's stomach made it's self known at this point, "Hey, you don't think it's to late for Iruka sensei to buy me ramen do you?" Asked the hungry boy holding his stomach as it growled again. Sakura promptly hit him on the back of his head.
"Of course it's to late!" She screamed at him, "Iruka sensei has better things to do then buy you ramen all the time!"
"I was just wondering!" Naruto growled holding his head.
At the mention of Iruka Kurogane focused his whole attention on the ge-nin's conversation. "Hey when you say Iruka sensei you aren't revering to Umino Iruka are you?" he interrupted.
"Yes, Iruka sensei is the best teacher ever!" Naruto proclaimed, then pointed to Kakashi, "Unlike this lazy pervert."
"Hey, that wasn't nice." Kakashi glared, he would have said more, if Kurogane hadn't busted out laughing.
"Kakashi, why didn't you tell me?" Kurogane accused. "This is news worthy. Iruka, a teacher?" he fell into another laughing fit.
"What's so funny about Iruka sensei being a teacher?" Naruto demanded.
"Ah, god really does have a twisted sense of humor." was Kurogane's response. "That brat, a teacher?" he laughed again.
"Iruka sensei isn't a brat!" Naruto yelled, jumping to the defense of his favorite teacher. Kurogane just continued laughing.
