Ok, sorry it took so long to get this chapter up. My computer crashed and it took a long time to finally get it running again. I'm still not getting many reviews though, so come on guys. Tell me what you think of my story so far. Well anyways, here's chapter 4.
A Second Battle
Just as the giant's sword was about to hit Azukari, a voice rang out, "Wait!"
"Who dares interrupt the great Kazuki?" The man's booming voice yelled as he stopped his sword dead.
Azukari opened his eyes and slowly brought his head up to stare at his masters face for a moment. He noticed that Master Kazuki had a very frustrated and furious look on his face. Azukari stared it him for no more than a second then looked around to find the person that saved his life.
"I did." a voice came from the tunnel entrance. As Azukari looked in the direction of the voice he saw a man wearing a purple cloak, greyish ninja style pants, a red sash around his waist, and another smaller, black one around his mouth so you couldn't quite see his face. The man also had brown hair that stood almost as tall as Kakashi's and a sword with a very decorative sheath hanging by the sash around his waist.
"Oh, it's you, Hiroshi. What is it you want?" Master Kazuki said still sounding very irritated.
"Why not spare the boy, Master Kazuki. He has proved his worthiness again and again. He is also most likely the most powerful ninja of our village, even more powerful than I. He might even have the potential to surpass you." Hiroshi replied with a grin on his face at his last statement.
Kazuki stared down at Azukari for a moment who then lowered his head again. After a moment the giant man brought his attention back to Hiroshi and said, "Fine, I will spare the boy. You do make a very good point Hiroshi all though that last remark of yours angers me." Kazuki ordered Azukari to return to his feet and gave him another mission. "You are to go back to the Village of the Leafs and kill Kakashi. If you return again though unsuccessful your punishment will not be interrupted. Do I make myself clear?" Azukari nodded in understanding and walked towards the tunnel. Just as Azukari left he and Hiroshi stared at one another but only for a moment and Azukari continued his way towards the exit.
Meanwhile, At the Village Hidden In The Leafs
"We have to come up with a plan for when Azukari comes back, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto blurted out as team 7 left the Hokage tower.
"I know Naruto, but first we need to find Sakura. She's still apart of this team to." Kakashi replied.
"Yeah but she never does anything." Sasuke commented in a low tone.
"It still doesn't mean she isn't part of our team." Kakashi retorted back. "Iruka put you three on a team for a reason. It's a matter of checks and balances.
"So I must be the one balancing out the other two, aren't I Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto said with a smirk on his face and putting his heads behind his head.
"Of course you're not. You're the useless part of the team while I make both you and Sakura look good." Sasuke said in an irritated voice.
"What did you say!" Naruto glared at Sasuke while clutching his fist.
"You heard me, useless!" Sasuke butted his head against Naruto's as they both glared at one another, about ready to kill each other.
"Ok, enough you two. We need to find Sakura and come up with a good plan to beat Azukari when he returns." Kakashi said breaking up Naruto and Sasuke.
"But how do we know if he's even going to come back?" Sasuke questioned.
"Because his mission..." Kakashi replied, "is to kill me."
