Chapter 6

Kakashi was on the edge of his branch his mouth hanging open. What the hell he thought to himself while wiping the blood from his nose. Why didn't they do this before?

A flash of orange behind him caught his eye. "Here you go Kakashi-sensei." He took the tissue thankfully stuffing it up is nose to stop the blood flow. After that his attention turned back to the clearing. Wait…

Kakashi's head whipped around and he stared in shock at the jounin in front of him. "WHAT THE FUCK! NARUTO!" Kakashi almost fell out of the tree. How can this be happening to me? One minute I was watching my two students behaving in a way I never would have expected, and everything was perfect. And now…shit.

"What's the matter Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto said calmly, acting as if the world was perfect and he hadn't just performed 'activities' in the clearing. Wait a minute… Kakashi glanced over at where he had just been focusing all of his attention for the past twenty minutes. They're both still there. Sasuke AND Naruto. That means…that this one…

"Hey you. Naruto." Kakashi eyed the Naruto suspiciously. "Just what are you doing here anyways?"

The Naruto squatted down to Kakashi's level on the tree branch. "Well Kakashi-sensei, if you must know I'll tell you. But you have to promise to keep it a secret." Kakashi nodded his head vigorously, trying to get the Naruto to tell him. Hopefully he'll tell me why the real Naruto has a random clone running around the woods spying on me. The Naruto put his hand up to the side of his mouth and dropped his voice down to a whisper. "I was here checking to see how my clone was doing on 'Operation Sasuke' when I saw you." Naruto scratched his head. "What are you doing here Kakashi-sensei?"

Kakashi's mouth dropped open, luckily for him it was hidden by his mask. This…is the real Naruto? So the Naruto out there with Sasuke is a clone? Operation Sasuke? What in the world is Naruto planning? "KAKSHI-SENSEI!"

"What?" Kakashi closed his mouth and looked at Naruto.

"Why are you here?"

Kakashi stared blankly at Naruto. "Why that's because…I…am on a…mission for the Hokage to…collect leaves. Yes that's it. The Hokage sent me to collect leaves because she has…a secret leaf…" He paused and looked at Naruto for emphasis. "Fetish."

"Tsunade-sama?" Kakashi nodded his head. "What? Are you serious?" Naruto's eyes went wide.

"Yes. But this is top secret Naruto. You're trusting me with your secret, so I will trust you with mine." Kakashi mentally kicked himself. Leaves? Jeez Kakashi, why not add in some rocks while your at it? "Deal?"

"Of course Kakashi-sensei! You can trust me!" Naruto grinned. "Well, I better get going. I have to go check on 'Operation Sasuke'. Oh by the way. Tsunade-sama wants to see you in her office." And with that Naruto took off towards the clearing.
