Prologue: A War Is Brewing
Running, gotta keep running!
Dogs howled in the distance, a young man not much older than 17 was running for his life in the forest. It was dark, about 11 o'clock at night. Another howl.
"GAAUUGGHH!" the young man cried as he tripped on a tree root that stuck up from the ground. The young man spat out dirt and blood. Just then a large dog leaped over the young man and skidded to a halt. Then in a puff of smoke the dog turned into a full grown man in his early thirties.
"Where do you think you're going, Gabriel?" the older man asked with a sneer. He wore a forehead protector with a symbol of a pentagram on it. He had black hair and ice cold black eyes, he had a scar on his right cheek.
"I have to warn Konoha about Moragar's evil intentions, and I won't let you stop me!" Gabriel shouted at the man, he wore the same forehead protector.
" You honestly think you can beat an elite level ninja, when you barely made it to journeyman level! You are hopeless aren't you?!" after saying that the ninja pulled out a kunai and charged!
Gabriel was ready and blocked the man's attack with his own kunai and as a counter attack, Gabriel stabbed the man in the wrist with a kunai hidden under his wrist bracers. The man howled in pain as the kunai lodged its self between the bones in his wrists.
"HA! NEVER under estimate your opponent!" Gabriel laughed in triumph.
"Grrrrrrr. You may have gotten me this time but let me tell you: there won't be a second time!" the flustered man growled and ran off clutching his wrist cursing wildly as he left.
Gabriel got up brushed himself off and started running. Running, gotta keep running.
Chapter 1: Warning Posted
"Yaaawwwn, man, I am sooo board." Naruto yawned, it was three years after Sasuke's return from Orochimaru, and it was a crisp spring day, that kind of days that are perfect for doing nothing, "When is Kakashi going to get here?"
"I don't know, he just said to meet him here." Sakura said stretching on the grass.
"Let me tell ya, some things never change. Like Naruto is always impatient, and Kakashi is always late!" sighed Sasuke, Naruto shot a deadly glare, then right on cue the masked teacher Kakashi showed up in a puff of smoke, "Finally!"
"MASTER KAKASHI! CAN YOU EVER BE ON TIME!!" Naruto bellowed.
"I'm sorry but an urgent warning was posted and I was asked to spread the word." Kakashi said in innocent tone, "Here take a look."
Kakashi handed the three a poster, it said: "WARNING: Be On The Look Out For This Ninja." It had a picture of a young 17-year old man with green eyes black hair wearing a forehead protector with a slashed pentagram on it. Below the picture it said: "Use Caution, Can Be Extremely Dangerous When Cornered."
"Of course any ninja is dangerous when cornered," Naruto smirked, "Common sense, people!"
"Uh, Kakashi why did you want to meet with us?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, yes that!" Kakashi said remembering the reason he came, "Don't you know what today is? No? It's been exactly 5 years since you guys officially became ninjas!"
"Really! Are you serious! It's really been 5 years!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Heh, time flies," Sasuke muttered with a rare grin.
"I thought that, ya' know it'd be worth celebrating, like we'd all have a nice dinner or something" Kakashi said casually, they could see a smile under the face mask Kakashi wore.
"We can go for RAMAN!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly.
"NO!" the other three ninja shouted in unison shattering Naruto's hope for Raman.
"We'll meet here at 5 o'clock sharp, to go to the restaurant," Kakashi said, and with that the four left.
A few hours later team 7 found themselves waiting for Kakashi, AGAIN.
"Why does he always have to be late!" Sakura exclaimed she was pacing around the tree.
"It actually might be a good thing that Kakashi is late." Naruto said calmly.
"How is it a good thing exactly?" Sakura asked annoyed.
"Because if Kakashi was on time for once, it might mean the end of the world" Naruto said, Sasuke gave him an "Oh-Give-Me-A-Break" look then finally Kakashi arrived.
"Wow!" Sakura exclaimed sarcastically, "6:34, Master Kakashi isn't an hour and thirty-five minutes late!"
"What, I had to be late," Kakashi said with a wink, "for old times' sake!"
"Can we go eat I'm starving!" Naruto said as started to walk down the hill.
