This chapter is basically Kakashi's departure and a few other things.

Chapter 3

Kakashi's Mission

Two days later Kakashi had just packed everything he needed for his next mission. Shuriken, food, medical equipment and his latest volume of Make Out Paradise were on top of his list. "The Uchiha Clan, still alive?"

Flashback

"Your other student is Sasuke Uchiha, from the Uchiha Clan." said the fourth hokage. "But, I thought the were all wiped out?" asked Kakashi, looking around at Naruto's apartment. "He, is the last survivor."

"I'm Sasuke Uchiha. There are a lot of things that I hate an not basically anything I like. I don't have a dream… that's just a word. I have an ambition, and I will make it a reality. I will kill someone." The emotionless Uchiha stated. "He's so cool." said the love struck Sakura. "Uh… Hope is not me." said the blond haired ninja.

Flashback ends

"Could his clan really have survived?"

Meanwhile Naruto was coming home from the shop with what looked like a lifetime supply of ramen. He was, as always, cheery. Suddenly out of nowhere came a figure and attacked Naruto. "Hey Konohamaru. What's up?" Konohamaru, knowing he had been found, just smiled and said "How do you do that Naruto? It's been two years and you still know exactly where I am?" "Uh… dumb luck I guess."

Naruto waved good-bye to Konohamaru and walked to his house. Before getting there, thought, he found Sakura with Sasuke. Or Sasuke trying to get away from her. "Some guys have all the luck. I would give anything for just one girl, just one who liked me." said the blond haired ninja.

"Hey Sasuke-kun, want to come to my house for dinner?"

"No."

"How about to a restaurant?"

"No."

"Then you choose."

"No."

'You eat don't you!' said the annoyed Inner Sakura. Sakura just shook it of and kept trying. "Sasuke-kun, anywhere?" Sasuke, getting annoyed just asked "Will you ever give up?" Sasuke thought about that question and realized it was a bit stupid and just said "Fine." "F-fine?" the pink haired ninja barely asked. 'Hell yeah, he said yes.' Sasuke looked at her happy face and said "What have I done."

Naruto, still standing looking at them, just signed. He kept on walking home. He felt a bit heartbroken, since Sakura was going to go out with Sasuke, but, what else is new. Naruto then saw Kakashi walking with his equipment. Naruto placed all the ramen, carefully, at the side of his door and ran after him. "Hey Kakashi-sensei." Naruto padded Kakashi on the back and was with his usual grin. 'Oh no, Naruto, I'm not supposed to tell anybody anything.'

"Oh, hi Naruto."

"Hey Kakashi, where are you going?"

"Just on a mission."

"Where?"

"Can't tell you." Kakashi kept walking trying for Naruto to get the point and leave, but as usual, he didn't. "Why not?"

"It's classified."

Naruto stood in front of Kakashi and said "If you don't tell me I'll keep this." Naruto took out the volume of Make Out Paradise Kakashi had on his backpack. "How'd you?… Never mind. Naruto, give that back." "First, you tell me where you are going." "Naruto, I haven't finished that book, give it back, this is no game." Naruto took a look at the book and smiled. He opened the book at the end and said "Want me to tell you how it ends?" "NARUTO!"

Kakashi tried to get the book, but Naruto jumped back and read a bit. "Oh man sensei, this book gives too much info." Kakashi was getting ready to snatch it, when Naruto said "In the book the girl stays with…" Before Naruto could finish the book vanished from his hand and Kakashi appeared far from him. "Later Naruto." "Cheater." Naruto walked back to his house and started his ramen.

Meanwhile Tsunade was in her office, when Jijaira entered. "Tsunade, Kakashi just reported that he has left to find the Uchiha Clan." "That's good news Jijaira." "Yes, but we have a small problem. The young Uchiha, Sasuke, may find out about this. He clearly must not." "True. The best thing to do is to send him on a mission, a simple one, call him forward." "Yes." "Since when am I the messenger boy?" he said softly. "Heard that."

Sasuke stood in front of the Hokage's door. He entered with his emotionless face, but was still a bit confused. "Sit down Sasuke, we have a bit to talk about." Sasuke sat down, still emotionless, but still as equally confused. "Sasuke, you have been chosen on a mission to go to the Hidden Village of the Mist and serve as a bodyguard for a family." Sasuke was handed the mission data and a picture of the family.

"So… will I have to go with the id… Naruto?"

"No you're going alone." said Tsunade.

Sasuke thought about it, he couldn't really refuse. "I accept." "Perfect. You shall leave in just an hour." Sasuke was shocked that he had to leave so soon, but he smiled. 'At least I can escape from Sakura.'

Meanwhile Naruto was at his house when there was a knock at the door. Naruto quickly answered it to find Hinata there. "Hey Hinata." "H-Hey N-Naruto… I-was thinkingmaybewecouldgoouttoeatramen." Naruto didn't understand anything she said, but he understood the word ramen. "You want to eat ramen, sure let's go." Hinata nearly fainted, but snapped out of it and walked with Naruto to eat.

Sasuke was at the village gate ready to leave when Sakura came. "Sasuke-kun, when will you come back. Sasuke wanted to say mind your business or something worse, but swallowed it and said "Soon." Naruto and Hinata, on there way to the ramen shop, stopped when they saw Sasuke and Sakura.

"Hey, what's up?" Naruto asked.

"Sasuke-kun is leaving, an a mission."

"Oh."

Naruto looked at Sasuke, who had already walked out of the gate, almost out of sight, and yelled "Hey Sasuke!" Sasuke turned around as he looked at Naruto. "Don't get yourself killed Uchiha." Sasuke, almost, barely, smiled and said: "Likewise Uzumaki." With that Sasuke kept on walking and left.

Naruto walked off with Hinata. He looked back and saw Sakura alone and said "Hey Hinata, do you mind if Sakura-chan comes with us." Hinata expected to be with Naruto alone, but she knew how much she meant to him. "I don't mind." Naruto looked at Sakura and shouted "Hey Sakura-chan, want to come with us to get ramen?" Sakura signed. "Sure Naruto, why not?" Naruto walked with both girls to the ramen shop.

Meanwhile a dark figure watched as Sasuke walked alone. "There leading him right to me."
