Naruto looked up at his new 'father' Inuyasha. Naruto rarely talked, only when it mattered, he went with Inuyasha to the forest everyday where he ate and then trained with his addopted father. Inuyasha had adopted Naruto a mounth ago, two mounths after they'd found him, or rather he'd found them. "Naruto, get down. We've got company." Inuyasha whispered suddenly dunking into the bushes, Naruto jumped into a tree and hid perfectly in the fall leaves, his new fire rat fur kimono helping. As they watched four humans walked below, stopping where they had been moments before.

"What's wrong Master Kakashi?" The girl asked. She had pink hair, the other three were male, one adult and two teens. "Master, why'd we stop?"

"Quit Sakura." The silver haired adult said looking around. He looked at the bush Inuyasha was in before turning to one of the boys. "Neji, take a look around." The boy nodden and did a few hand seals before looking at the bush and the tree.

"Two, one in the bush and one in the tree." He pulled out two black weapons, but then looked back at the tree. "Hold on, red chakra."

"Red, I thought all chakra was light blue." The girl said, the second boy hit his head with his palm.

"Sakura, a curse seal changes that. Who is it Neji?" He said looking back to the first boy. By now Naruto had drawn the sword Sango had given him to welcom him to the group.

"I don't beleave it, only one person has red chakra." Neji mumbled, he turned to the tree and yelled. "Naruto, we know you're there. Come down."

"Come up and get me if you can." Naruto yelled back, sword ready. Kakashi kept his eyes on the bush as Sasuke, the second boy, climbed up the tree. Sasuke gasped and jumpped back down, a gash in his arm. Naruto walked out onto a branch now, balanced perfectly.

"Oi dobe, we take our eyes off you for four mounths and you turn on us?" Sasuke yelled throwing a kunai knife at Naruto, only to have it intercepted by an arrow. Naruto glanced over as Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango came running towards them.

"Naruto, where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked looking around, another arrow already notched in her bow. Inuyasha answered her by jumpping out of the bushes as Naruto croched down. Inuyasha jumped right behind Naruto and put his left arm around him protectivly, Tetsusaiga in his right hand held ready.The four below seemed alot less confedent after spotting Inuyasha, they took a few steps back before getting ready to fight. Kakashi lefting his forhead protector band.

"Ready? We have to get Naruto and make it home." Kakashi said quitly, the three with him nodded, each had a kunai in each hand and got ready to charge. "Go!" The battle started simple eanoph. All four ninjas ran towards the group, kunai ready. Sango prepared her boomerage, throwing it and nocking Sasuke back a good ten feet. That was when Sasuke got mad, proforming a few hand seals before useing his Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu, witch was countered by Shippo useing his Fox Fire to protect his friends. Kakashi, proforming the hand seals neaded, used the Raikiri, hitting Miroku in the side, only to be slamed by the monk's staff right in the head.

"This is getting dull." Naruto commented from his place in the tree with Inuyasha.

"Yea, want to join?" Inuyasha agread looking down at Naruto, the foxboy nodded and the two jumped down, Inuyasha getting a good cut in Kakashi's arm and Naruto jumping on top of Neji and slashing his back. Naruto gasped as the handle of a kunai knife hit his head, knocking him out cold.

"I got him, move it." Sasuke yelled, the others nodded and pulled a retreat. Inuyasha looked around, cheaking on his friends.

"Where's Naruto?" Kagome asked, Inuyasha's eyes widened.

"Kuso!" He said running after the four ninja. It Rain started pouring suddenly, washing their scent away. Inuyasha lost the trail.
