Chapter III: Strange Condition
Sasuke startled when he heard what Ten Ten said. After he said 'thanks' to Ten Ten and asked to take care of Sakura, he got out from the tent; searched for Gai. Someone greets him when he got out.
"Hey, long time not see you. Uchiha Sasuke." Someone jumped over and landed in front of Sasuke.One of them has a pair of white eyes, used a konoha protector-forehead in his forehead, use a cream colored-sweater, and a long hair with a hair bound. The other has some characteristics like Gai; it's really like son and father.
"Hyuuga Neji, Rock Lee. So, you come here with Ten Ten and your teacher?"
"Actually, no. Gai-sensei vanished from us after he said that we must accompany you to Kirigakure. So we think to search for you first. Have you seen Gai-sensei around here?"
"Yeah, but he disappear now. Oh yeah, forgot to tell you something, your teacher…" Sasuke stop his words, he started to think; is it good to tell them about what Kakashi and Gai did in that tent before? Not good, he guessed. So he shook his head and continued his words. "No, it's nothing."
Neji and Lee only can looked at Sasuke with flustered view. Then Neji and Lee made a decision to disperse for searched Gai. Neji and Lee disappeared at once; leaved Sasuke in there. Suddenly, Naruto called him from Kakashi's tent.
"OIII! Sasuke, come here! I need some help!" Sasuke stepped in to the tent and looked at Naruto when he was shook Kakashi. It seems Kakashi was fainted, well we don't know how it supposed to be.
"What's going on? Why you shaking Kakashi-sensei?"
"He unconscious! What we must to do, WHAT WE MUST TO DO!"
"Stop panicking, Naruto. … Hell. Let me take a look." Sasuke asked Naruto to holdKakashi-sensei while he examined Kakashi. His body was so cold and stiffed. When he put his hand to Kakashi's forehead, suddenly…
"BAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kakashi open his eyes and acted like a vampire.
"HUWAAAAAAAAAA! GOOOSSHHHH!" Sasuke and Naruto was surprised and jumped at once.
"Huahahahaha! You got tricked! Huahahahaha!" Kakashi laughed so hard and make Sasuke and Naruto regained their conscious. Of course Naruto and Sasuke was so mad.
"STOP JOKING! Leave him, Naruto, we still have a mission to do." Sasuke pulled Naruto and leaves Kakashi who still laughed. "Hey, wait me!"
At last Kakashi said 'sorry' to Sasuke and Naruto. Sakura has waked up and Gai was founded near the river. So, Naruto's team and Lee's team continued their trips to Kirigakure. (Oh yeah, I forgot something. Naruto want to say some opinion for Kakashi: "We waste time for this joke! Dammit! Hell bless you, Kakashi-sensei!"). At the night, they reached a town near the borders of Hi (Fire) Country.
After they gone inside the town, Naruto and Sasuke takes a rest in ramen stall. Of course, all Naruto did is ate, ate, and ate ramen, while Sasuke just drinks a teacup and Sakura ate some takoyaki (balls of fried octopus with sauce) with Ten Ten and Rock Lee. Neji just drinks mineral water. What about Kakashi and Gai? Well, as usually Kakashi read Icha Icha Paradise and drinks otoso(sweet sake), while Gai slept in the roof ;. After they felt so full with the food, they started to search for an inn. Naruto finds a good inn not to far from the town gate, so they decision to stay one night in there.
Kakashi must wills to got one room with Gai (Please, I hope there's nothing will happen with them. it's gotta be dangerous ;). Naruto and Lee in one room, while Sasuke and Neji in one room too. Sakura and Ten Ten got them in the same room. Let's find what they did in their room.
Room number 40, Hatake Kakashi and Gai Maito. It seems it was the worse pair room in this story ;. As like before, Gai tried to tempt Kakashi again and the resulted, the inn full of shout from Kakashi. Want to know what going on?
"Kakashi, wanna get some treatment? Hehehe…"
"GET OUT OF MY WAY! I'M TIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR JOKES, SO GO AWAY! HUSH-HUSH!"
"HEY, MY RIVAL! YOU'RE GOING TO GET MUCH BAD DREAMS! EAT THIS!"
"WUAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Got the meant? To the next room;.
Room number 33, Uzumaki Naruto and Rock Lee. Well, it's much better if you compared it with Kakashi-Gai's room. Naruto and Lee played igo (Japanese chess) and they caused noisy disturbances in they room because it. They noisy because Naruto who can't play igo; always place the igostone in wrong place, make Lee lost his temper.
"Hey, wait! That's wrong place. You should put the white stone there." Said Lee.
"What's wrong with? I just put it, so what?" asked Naruto.
"But that is the rules. You should follow the rules."
"Oh, whatever. Eat this!" Naruto put white stone in the place of black stone.
"Hey, that's cheated!"
"What cheated!" yelled Naruto to Lee.
It won't stop until the morning. Next room!
Room number 34, Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuuga Neji. Of course they were so miseries because the sounds from Naruto-Lee's room and Kakashi-Gai's room, so they decided to go slept first. But I don't think they can sleep well because those noisy ;. The last room!
Room number 67, Haruno Sakura and Ten Ten. Surely the most normally room in that inn (except the rooms of the villain). What are they doing?
"Hey, like to looked around the town tomorrow?"
"Sure. It seems good to relax for a while. I like to shops a little. Would you mind to go?"
"Of course no. bla-bla-bla…"
That's it. So after all of those things, they went to slept. The next day, Naruto and the others had some breakfast, but Kakashi disappeared again from his room. Gai said that he didn't saw where is he. Naruto and Lee ate some ramen (again?), Sakura ate some taiyaki (a sweet-Japanese cake that have a shape like a fish and have substance red beans) with Ten Ten, Sasuke ate udon (a bowl of white-thick noodles with broth of soup), Neji ate yosenabe (all of seafood, chicken, mushroom, tofu, and vegetables and soaked with broth of soup), and Gai? Just drinks sake ;.
After got full their stomach (excepted Gai), they dispersed to the town. Naruto back to the ramen stall and ate more ramen, ramen, and ramen. Sasuke, Lee, and Neji gone to looked around the town. Gai searched for Kakashi. While Naruto was eaten, a voice emerged from beside.
"One ramen Ichiraku, please!" Naruto realized something. That voice, it must be…
"Iruka-sensei! What are you doing here?" Iruka viewed Naruto and smiled. Naruto responded it by smiled too.
"Like you see, I come to eat some ramen. What's the matters with it?"
"Oh, not at all."
"… Naruto, I want to ask you something. Do you grateful because your leader in Team 7 was Kakashi, not me?" Naruto looked at Iruka and then he grimed at him.
"Actually, at first I want you to become my leader at Team 7. But I started realize it. Maybe if you become my leader, I would have never have felt the exercises from Kakashi. He was great. But… I like you two."
Iruka startled when he heard about it and looked down. But then he smiled again to Naruto,
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"Ah, nothing. Do some mission?" Iruka asked Naruto while he ate the ramen. Naruto's mouth was full of ramen, so he just nodded. Iruka laughed when he looked at Naruto. After he finished with the ramen, he put the money; leaved the ramen stall and said to Naruto.
"Good luck, Naruto."
"Yeah. You too, Iruka-sensei." After Iruka gone, Naruto ate his ramen and got out from the ramen stall. He heard someone yelled so loud from the west. When he looked at it, he was so surprised. Gai pulled Kakashi who hold a little boy in his right hand. Gai called Naruto.
"Hey, Naruto! Look what I found!"
"Kakashi-sensei! Where were you going last night! I tough you were run away! … Hey, wait a minute. Who is this kid?" Naruto looked to the boy, but he hides so quickly.
"Hey, don't startle at me. I'll not eat you. So, Kakashi-sensei, who is this kid?"
"Err… How supposed I tell you? Hmm…"
"I think it was his saving kid. Hmm, when did you that?" Gai started to tempt Kakashi again and madeKakashi lost his patient.
"HOW MUCH TIME I MUST TOLD YOU! HE IS NOT MY SON!" So who is this kid?
