"Kakashi, hold still!" Rin scolded, desperately trying to reattach a new eye-patch to the squirming white haired boy. They were currently hiding in a coven created by Naruto by manipulating the bushes around them with pure chakra. They were safe for the meantime.
"Kakashi!" Rin yelled, making the boy wince.
"But.. Rin… it huuuurts.."
"Well SORRY but you took ALL my painkillers already! Now stop squirming before I re-locate your manhood!" that shut Kakashi up rather nicely, much the amusement of Obito and Naruto who were sitting only a pace away. Seeing Rin fuss over Kakashi was cute, it reminded Naruto of the way Sakura would fuss over him and Sasuke. Gods he missed them.
Rin sighed, bringing Naruto out of his thoughts as she turned on Obito with a scowl written over her face.
"Damnit Obito! Conserve your Chakra! For Christ sakes, an enemy could attack at any moment! Stop playing with your Sharingan!" she shrieked and rounded on Naruto. Naruto gulped.
"And you!.. you…. Stop looking funny!" Naruto blinked as Rin huffed and sat back down, her triad finally running out of steam. Kakashi's good eye quirked upside-down in a smile. This was the Kakashi Naruto was used to seeing.
"Kakashi, go to sleep, you too Rin, Obito. I have the most Chakra left, and go for a long time without rest, I'll keep first watch, I'll wake someone when I'm tired." Naruto spoke up, cutting Rin off before she could object with a well placed hand and shoved her gently downward. She huffed and ignored him. Both Kakashi and Obito mutely followed his advice.
Naruto sighed.
'Kakashi is blinded on his left eye now, gaki. What are you planning to do?'
-I'm going to summon a small form for you to inhabit, I need you to send a message to Sakura and Sasuke. They're about a mile away, closeing in fast.-
'It better not be another frog form….. what's the message?'
-Obito has to 'die'-
'WHAT? I thought you were adamant about saving them? Are you going back on your word now? Wow… to think… you might actually pass as a demon… I couldn't be prouder…' insert a chibi-nine-tailed-foix sobbing hysterically.
-You're a dumbass, I mean it! No, I'm exaggerating; Kakashi isn't Kakashi without Obit's Sharingan… Both Rin and Sakura are adequate Medic-nins that and do the transfer, however… from my knowledge, Obito was crushed by a rock. I've already told them that Obito gives his eye to Kakashi. I'm going to switch him. It'll be a surprise, Kakashi and Rin will think Obito's is dead, when he isn't... Sakura and Sasuke can convince Obito to give his Sharingan to Kakashi while still having his right one…
Actually, I think Obito might give it anyways, without the convincing.-
'Devious, but alright. Summon me and I'll go tell them the plan. Although.. I must say I am amazed at one thing.'
-what?-
'Your team-mates ability to read your mind and come here without being told.'
-heh, what can I say? We didn't start out as a dream team, but we turned into one, for sure.-
"Kuchiyose no jutsu" Naruto whispered softly, without biting his finger or using seals, instead he channelled a small amount of Kyuubi's chakra to form a kage bunshin clone of a small one tailed fox about knee height. He did this instead of a normal bunshin because a fox was less inconspicuous than himself walking around searching for people. Plus it kept his reserve chakra from depleting.

"Stop, Sasuke-kun…." Sakura panted, stopping on her tree-brance as Sasuke doubled back to check if she was okay.
"gomen, I just want to get there before something bad happens."
"Aye, aye… c-can we rest a bit? We're been moving non-stop and avoiding Akira all the way up here." Sakura told him, sliding down the tree trunk and sitting on her branch as Sasuke followed suit beside her.
It was true, some time ago, Akira had been tailing them. Even though they were very bad at confrontation with the man, they were good a hiding from him. It was the reason they were still alive.
"Sure, just for an hour though, and don't take any soldier pills.." he warned her. She rolled her eyes at the familiar reminder. She had told him not to take any the day before and was agitated that he dare turn her advice against her. Men… pfft.
"Naruto's very close."
"Yeah…" the lapsed into silence for a few moments, simply keeping an awareness for anything strange. When it came to fast moving, Sakura still lacked the endurance to keep up at Sasuke and Naruto's pace, it was her one fault. She was equal with them on nearly every other aspect. Sasuke started to stiffen, and Sakura glanced about, searching for the disturbance.
A stubby red and white fox jumped out from the bushes and started sniffing around before coming to their tree and looking right up at them.
"Kyuubi-sensei?"
"Don't make me climb up there, bastards." The fox retorted with an angry glare. Sure, Foxes could climb... but Kyuubi really didn't like to. Sasuke awakened his Sharingan again and used it to detect if Kyuubi was false, they were after all... in enemy territory.
"Kage Bunshin." Sakura sighed and wearily jumped down, stumbling a bit on her landing. Sasuke followed her and reached out to attack Kyuubi's ears with a smirk. The poor demon fox tried to recoil but couldn't and was forced to endure the torture of having his ears mercilessly (although blissfully) scratched. Kyuubi would later reiterate to Naruto that he didn't not purr… at all, really.
"What's the word?" Sakura asked, having sat down again.
"Naruto says he's going to switch Obito just before he 'dies' you need to step in a get him. He wants to convince Obito to give Kakashi one of his sharingan without Obito having to die for it. He says that both Sakura and Rin are qualified for it, but he wants Sakura to do it since she has more experience with the Sharingan." Kyuubi told them, waiting for a response he could communicate to Naruto.
"We'll do it. When will they be attacked?" Sasuke asked, without consulting Sakura. The girl in question gave a huff and glared at him, but made no protest. Kyuubi closed his eyes for a moment, and spoke to Naruto. Although this was a Kage Bunshin of himself, he was still locked inside of Naruto.
"He says, in 3 days, after they destroy the Kannabi bridge, he wants you to lie in waiting, but to not make any direct attempt to help them." Sasuke committed that to memory and nodded.
"Kyuubi-sensei, Akira might become involved…." At this statement, Kyuubi's hackles rose and he trembled with his one tail between his legs.
"Not good…" Sakura and Sasuke looked grim. Even Kyuubi was afraid. "I'll let him know, my time here is up." With a puff he was gone. Sasuke sighed and went over to Sakura. He smiled ruefully and picked her up, much to her screaming, yelling, and annoyed protests and carried her piggy back.
"Undignified! You fucking scoundrel!" she cursed she beat upon him lightly (with her monstrous strength that is) and sulked again in anger. Sasuke grimaced then grinned, thinking about the ways he could blackmail her with this later on.
"Teme…" she sniffed, eventually calming down and blushing. Damn, she still had a tiny bit of lingering fan-girlism. She quickly squashed it, reminding herself that Sasuke was her brother now. She then got an evil thought.
"You better not put me down bastard, or I'll shop off what defines you as a man…" she purred into his ear, watching as the corner of his face paled dramatically. Sasuke cursed, so much for blackmailing her for the piggy back, how do things always turn against him? Why didn't he have Naruto's incredible luck? Why were there fake tears streaming helplessly down his eyes? Damn.

"After yesterday's incident, take your headbands off and anything that connects you to Konoha. We're going into a village soon after we pass by the Kannabi bridge, got it?" they nodded. Rin was glaring at Naruto, and he knew why. He didn't wake anyone up last night to take second watch, and he was still the freshest person amongst the group.
"Good, Rin stay on Kakashi's left at all time, you're his missing eye, got it? Obito, you'll be in front, I want you to alternate between using sharingan, and not. The reason is endurance and because you'll be able to stop something. I'm in back since I have better skills in back defence and detecting movement behind us, got it? We're heading to this village for supplies only, and none of us are going our actual appearances, I'll be casting a high-powered demonic genjutsu on us to prevent discovery. Don't do anything to give you away, got it?" they nodded again.
"Right then, lets get moving, there's no point in dallying. Kakashi stay put, let us pack your things." Kakashi nodded slowly, with a slightly feverish look about him. Naruto frowned, and went to speak privately with Rin.
"Rin…. Kakashi doesn't look so hot, pay extra attention to him, and get more medic supplies…" she frowned, turned to look at the white haired boy and nodded. She was very worried over Kakashi.
"Alright, lets head out." Naruto exclaimed, shouldering two packs, his and Kakashi's and waited for Obito to set the pace. Within moments they were off. Naruto purposefully stayed a smidge back away from the main group and made the ever so familiar cross seal.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu." He whispered, but instead of his normal clones, 3 birds burst into existence than fled into the tree tops. Their orders were to keep guard.

They traveled for an hour, stopping only twice for Kakashi to rest. They went relatively undisturbed, but Naruto knew they were being followed and watched. As they passed the kannabi bridge, he spotted Sasuke and Sakura in their cleverly hiding positions. Sakura waved at him and he smirked.
However, more stone shinobi were following them. They were likely using an invisibility genjutsu and masking their chakra. It went against everything Naruto believed in, but he didn't do anything about them, they would come into play later, no matter how much he grinded his teeth in frustration. In order for his plan to work, he couldn't jump the gun like he normally would.
"The village is just up ahead guys, beyond the Bamboo forest." Naruto informed them, thinking back to, or rather forward 7 years to the trip to stone he made then. The village wasn't that old, but not that new either, it would still be there.
He was right, he saw smoke stacks only a few paces ahead, and then they were making their way down a steep dirt slop onto the gravel road. Naruto stopped them before they met any civilization.
"Don't give anything away, I'm warning you.. I'll make Rin with PMS in doctor mode pale in comparison if you get us caught. Rin, medic supplies, Obito weapons. Kakashi you're with me." He spoke sharply; taking Kakashi's left arm and hoisting it over his shoulder and helping the poor boy walk.
"Where we going?" he heard someone mumbled into his ear. Naruto sighed.
"A hotel room, so Rin had better patch you up."
"Oh.." the voice mumbled.
"before you go, come here, gather round real close." Naruto commanded, letting go of Kakashi briefly and running a long fast string of seals before whispering something hardly audiable.
"Omoi taikae" Rin and Obito felt the air around them change and shift, Kakashi would have noticed but he was in too much pain to really pay attention. Obito turned to Rin to ask if he looked any different when his eye's bulged out of their sockets.
"What?" she asked, looking at Obito with a confused look. He didn't answer her, instead blood spurted from his nose and he fell unconscious. Rin grew a vein and was about to punch Naruto for whatever he did to her, only to find he was long gone.
"God damnit!" she cursed, kicking the fallen Obito's shins in frustration.

Omoi taikae – Literally means 'Massive' 'Physical-Alteration' (genjutsu)
Hangover bad. Xx
