Chapter II: On The Way
Naruto and his team (with Kakashi, of course) started they mission to send a letter to Kirigakure. Because the sun will sets in the evening, Naruto's team must camp outside that day. When Kakashi found a short lands, Kakashi stopped all of them and made a base camp. Kakashi shared some tasks to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.
Sakura got some orders to pick up some fruits and gathered water in a river near the base camp. Sasuke got orders to catch some fishes and light the campfire. Naruto got order to build the tent and cooked some food from the ingredients from Sasuke and Sakura. What about Kakashi? He just relaxed and reads Icha Icha Paradise while the others are worked .
While Sakura picked up fruits in the tree, she heard sound of rustled in bushes. Sakura so scared, but she still tried to gather the fruit. Suddenly, a sharp things flied beside Sakura and embed at the tree. Sakura screamed at once.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAA! SOMEONE, HELP ME PLEASE!" Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi had heard Sakura's voice. Sasuke and Naruto ran at once and found Sakura, who hided in the tree; trembled because she was so scared.
"Sakura, come down! What's the matter!" Naruto called Sakura, but Sakura hadn't come down. Sasuke climbed up and asked Sakura to go down. Sakura still trembled cause scared. At last Sasuke carried Sakura in his back and jumped off. Kakashi went near Sakura.
"Sakura, Sakura. What's going on? Are you all right?" asked Kakashi.
"Some… Something is come near me… A sharp thing flied to hurts me; I don't know who did it to me… Please bring me out of here… It's… Scared…" Sakura was still scared and she breathed so fast.
Kakashi put a long-jacket and carry her to the base camp. He puts Sakura near the campfire and let she got some warmed. Sasuke and Naruto looked to each others and sit beside Sakura. Sakura's breath got slower and she started to calmed.
"Get better, Sakura?"
"… Yes. Thanks, I feel better." Sakura revised his jacket and smiled to Sasuke and Naruto. Naruto and Sasuke responded her by smiled too. Kakashi, who stood up in the back of camp started to smile when he looked to them. Suddenly, Kakashi felt something not good near him, but then it disappeared so quickly. It must be a spy-shinobi, Kakashi thought.
"All right, all right. Back to your tents and sleep now! It's too late. We must saved our energies for tomorrow." Kakashi took of them to the tents and slept too…
The next day, Kakashi disappeared from the tents. Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura searched for him, but there's no clue about him.
"Dammit! Where is he! Hey, did you found it Sakura!" Naruto searched from the tree, while Sakura searched from the shore.
"No! He's not here! Sasuke, what about you?"
"Not here too. Try to search the other places." Sasuke gave the orders to Naruto and Sakura; who disappeared at once after received the orders. Sasuke disappeared too and appeared near the river. Not long, he heard strange sounds. He sharpened his ears and tried to hear closely. Sounds like impacted from weapons and… it's Kakashi!
Sasuke called the Sakura and Naruto by whistled. Naruto and Sakura appeared in a second. Sasuke asked them to keeps quietly and then he told them about that sounds.
"Sakura, have you heard something around here? Is this sounds too far?"
"Not too far. It seems the sounds from the place in the north of us, 500 meters I guess." Sakura told Sasuke and Naruto to searched the sounds from the tree, because she thought, it's dangerous to searched from shore. At once, Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke climbed the trees and jumped over tree to tree. Not long ago, Naruto saw something.
"Stop! Wait a minute… It's Kakashi-sensei! It seems he still fight with someone…" Naruto looked closely and Sasuke stands in the tree. Naruto gives a signal to Sasuke and Sakura and then he jumped over the tree and he reached the place.
"Kakashi-sensei! We come to help you!"
"Naruto! Look out!" Dozen of kunai flied beside Naruto. Naruto jumped over the kunai and landed beside Kakashi. "Kakashi-sensei! Your arm!"
"It's all right! Don't let your guard down! They still here!" Sasuke and Sakura appeared beside Kakashi and took out their shuriken and kunai. Kakashi nodded and give command to them.
Suddenly, the enemies appeared and started to attack them. Naruto made an INand used his ninjutsu.
"KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!" Fifty clones of Naruto appeared beside Naruto and attacked the enemies. Sasuke jumped over to a tree and used his jutsu too.
"Fire element! HOUSENKA! The fires flied to the enemies. The enemies used water element, but they can't stop the rapids of the shuriken inside the fires. Two enemies fell down at once. Sakura use henge no jutsu and bushin no jutsuto chased the enemies around Kakashi and Naruto.
"Kakashi-sensei! Are you all right!"
"Huh, don't disparage me. I still can fight… ALL RIGHT! KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!" Clones of Kakashi appeared in front of enemies. The enemies can't hold out the attack, so they retreated at once.
"Be careful! You, Hatake Kakashi the shinobi 1000-jutsu-copied, you will get my revenge! HAHAHAHAHA!" After the enemies disappeared, Sasuke and Sakura went down to help Kakashi. Kakashi was full of wounds in his body. Naruto and Sasuke carried Kakashi much efforts to the base camp. Sakura ran to the river and gathered some water and herbs. Naruto helped Kakashi to treats the wounds. Sakura back to the base camp with some herbs and waters. Sasuke helped Naruto to compress the wounds.
"Nee, Kakashi-sensei."
"Hmm?"
"Who is that bad guys? Why didn't you tell us about it?" Kakashi looked to his subordinates and smiled. Sasuke startled when he saw Kakashi smiled. He never thought that Kakashi could smile to them.
"Well, that was the shinobi who want to take this letter. As Hokage says, the risk of this mission was so high. That's why she asked me to accompany you, because I was a former Anbu. I was told by Hokage to not involve you with the enmity." He looked so mad to Naruto and the others, but then he smiled again. "But that was a relieve. Thanks guy."
Naruto laughed to Kakashi so hard. Sasuke so relieves the mission not failed and he fell to seated position. Sakura; who grip the compress-fabrics, cried a little. Kakashi asked them to rested for a while and saved the energies for later. After Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke got out from the tent, Kakashi sighed and looked to the back.
"You in there, aren't you? Get out now."
Suddenly, a thick smoke appeared behind Kakashi. A man appeared from the smoke; his various parts of the hair like kappa (if I want to say, it's more likely Bruce Lee ;), the under eyelash were long, use a green-tight-clothes, tight pants with a same colors, and said…
"DYNAMIC ENTRY! Yo, my rival Kakashi! How are you today! Huahahahaha…"
"Could you stop you're habits like appeared with 'very bad taste' like that, Gai?" Kakashi looked to Maito Gai with bored viewed and sighed a lot.
"Hey! It's not that bad taste like you say, my rival! Anyway! Why you have so many wounds on you body? Have you gets some bad struggles?" Gai looked to Kakashi's body and took out some medicine. "Here, use it. You'll feel better after you used it."
"… Wait a minute. You not put any drugs medicine, huh? I still remembered, when we have a mission you deliberate me and puts some drugs medicine in my beverages; and you take all of my missions and my appreciations! What a creep! Forget it, I don't want to drink it. Drink it by yourself." Kakashi gave back the medicine to Gai and back to sleep.
"It's more better if I sleep by myself." said Kakashi slowly.
Gai laughed so hard and started to tempt Kakashi. Kakashi screamed so loud and made Sakura and Sasuke realized; something's not right in their teacher's tent… Sakura ran to Kakashi's camp and opened the tent. Sakura and Sasuke surprised when they found Gai were beside Kakashi and tried to opened Kakashi clothes and Kakashi's pose is more likely doing something 'bad' with Gai (please description it by yourself for avoid something not good, thank you ).
Sakura screamed at once after she looked it and fainted at last. Sasuke looked to it with red face and so shied. He slapped his head with hand and shake his hand; while he said, "Kakashi-sensei, so you and Gai-sensei are…"
"HEY! DON'T MISUNDERSTAND IT! IT'S NOT LIKE YOU THOUGHT! STOP FOOLING AROUND!" (I wonder how Kakashi and Gai can say that, in a same time, in same WORDS too! OH MY GOD!). Naruto heard Kakashi and Gai voice and went to the tent too. When he looked to it, he just slanted his face.
"Kakashi-sensei, Gai-sensei, what are you doing? Kakashi-sensei, you must rest now! Gai-sensei, please get out from this tent. Kakashi-sensei, sleep-sleep-sleep!" Naruto took out Gai and shut the tent. Sasuke; who still have red face, asked Naruto about it.
"Naruto, didn't you have any strange thought about Kakashi-sensei?"
"Huh? What do you mean? Is there something wrong with him?"
Sasuke started to though; maybe Naruto never have any negative thought or he really stupid? Waste time, Sasuke stopped his thinking time and carried Sakura; who fainted because 'that' to the tent. He was surprised when he found Ten Ten in the tent.
"Hello. How are you today?"
"Err… fine. Why are you here?" Sasuke took Sakura and covered she with a blanket.
"Oh, to guide you to Kirigakure. You're so kind. Is she your girlfriend?" Ten ten revised the blanket and sat beside Sakura; who still slept and had been sounded.
"What do you meant by guide us?" Ten Ten smiled to him and answered it.
"Ask Gai-sensei. He will tell you anything about it."
