Chapter 1 – In New Hands
Katsu, Hana, and Kasumi laughed quietly at a joke Katsu told. Katsu was about to say something else when they heard rustling in the bushes below them. A blond boy wearing bright orange clothes walked into the clearing beneath the three ninjas above in the trees. Another boy followed the first; this one had raven black hair. An old man with a bottle in hand walked a little cautiously behind the two boys. Then a pink haired girl followed closely behind the man. The blond boy turned to look at the others "Hey, where's Kakashi sensei!" he said loudly. The raven haired boy hit him upside the head. "Keep it down baka!"
The ninjas above looked at each other and nodded. It was time. They dropped silently from the trees to the ground making a circle around the group. The blond boy jumped with a yell. The girl and the man also gave a yell of surprise. The raven haired boy on the other hand just stared at them with cold eyes. "Not another ambush." The man said in a pained voice seeing the group's headbands with the hidden mist village symbol on them. The group tensed staring at the boy and two girls, ready. "Not an ambush." The mist boy said with a slight smile on his lips. "Took you long enough." The girl with long dark brown hair said, also smiling slightly. "What do you mean!" the blond yelled. "Naruto keep it down." A silver haired man walked into the clearing behind the mist girl with blond hair. "I am sorry, we ran into some difficulty. I am Kakashi. I understand that you are to take Tazuna the rest of the way?" The three mist ninjas nodded together. "That is Naruto," Kakashi pointed to the blond. "Sasuke," the raven haired boy, "Sakura and Tazuna." The girl with pink hair and the old man. The mist ninjas nodded again. "I am Katsu," said the boy "that is Hana," the blond girl "and Kasumi." The brunette. Kakashi nodded but looked puzzled. "Where is your sensei?" The mist ninjas looked at each other. "He's around here somewhere, he always is." Hana said with a laugh. The other two smiled. "Maybe we should accompany you to make sure Tazuna's safety. You not having a sensei along, things could get bad-"
"We can handle this Kakashi, besides our sensei isn't that far off." Katsu said taking a step towards Tazuna who looked afraid. "I don't think you know what is going on here-" Kakashi was interrupted by Hana. "Let me guess, um Gato is after him, he needs a safe route home, right?" Hana said "We do live in the land of mist; Gato isn't a new name to us." Hana finished with slight mockery in her voice. "We should get going." Katsu said taking another step. Kakashi nodded to Tazuna, he went with the three new ninjas. Tazuna could hear Naruto's complaining as he walked farther and farther away from the ninjas he knew and trusted. With every step he felt less and less safe in the mysterious ninja's hands. Little did he know that danger was just around the corner… literally.
