As soon as the group made it Konoha, Guy and Kira got Kakashi to the hospital. He was admitted right away and taken to his own room with a view of the city. Kira let out a quick 'Thanks Guy' and rushed after the nurses.
Thats where Naruto found her three hours later. He appeared outside the window of Kakashi's room he caught her reading one of her books she always had in her backpack. Sliding the window open he hopped inside and moved to a chair by his best friend.
"So according to Granny Tsunade we have to find two new replacing members of team Kakashi for our Sasuke mission. How is Kakashi doing?" He looked over his instructor sleeping soundly.
Kira snuggled up close to Naruto looking over at her brother "Well according to Dr. Yamamoto he's gonna be out of commission for the next few weeks. He might be better by the time we get back from rescuing want to kick his ass for running off."
Naruto snickered nodding his head in agreement. "Don't worry, we'll kick his ass and make him regret ever running away in the first place. How're you doing by the way? I know you didn't want to leave Gaara."
She let out a sad sigh clutching tighter to his arm. "I'm upset sure but Gaara knows we need to save him, we'll just end up seeing each other later for the holidays, I already got the okay from Lady Tsunade." Naruto nodded grinning like the little devil he is.
"Well at least you can look forward to that. Gaara's lucky to have you." She nodded still missing how soft his touch was. "Really Kira. I've never seen him so happy." Kira giggled again squeezing his hand "I've also never seen you this happy over a guy."
"Yeah...He makes me really happy Naru. I'm so happy he's back."
"Me too Kira, me too."
They sat in silence, stuck in their own thoughts, watching over their former instructor and big brother (adopted for one of the two). "Want to grab some food? I'm sure you miss Cafeteria food." Naruto scrunched his nose in disgust at the thought of eating the muck he had enough of it the last time he was here. "No thanks."
Snickering to herself Kira pulled herself out of the shared chair walking over to Kakashi's bed and placing a kiss on his head. "I'll be back in a little bit Kashi, heal faster so we can go home okay?" Kakashi mumbled something under the covers but otherwise was still asleep. Turning back to her friend she grinned extending her left hand. "Come on, let's go find the replacing two for team Kakashi."
Naruto grinned reaching forward and grabbing her hand tightly, he was glad she was here with him. He didn't think they would have been able to find another member for Team Kakashi without her.
The two made it outside instantly Kira felt the warm sun soak into her skin making her grin. The fresh air was started to help her nerves. They decided to wander searching for a spot to eat and recruit on the way. Naruto kept mumbling to himself about who could be the best replacement for the two vacant spots. They didn't need a healer, they had two now. So someone who was good at long distance fighting would be good as well as another up close fighter.
"Long time no see, Naruto." Shino's voice echoed through her ears causing the girl to look up and smile at her friend. "Glad to see your mission was a success Kira." Shino called referring to her mission before she left to save Gaara.
Grinning at the boy she let out a small laugh "It was pretty easy, he only needed a few hits and he was done for. Strange how that was a B mission, more like a D."
Naruto stared at Kira confused, who was she talking to? "It was also a success," Naruto glanced between the two again. He had absolutely no idea who this guy was, yet somehow this guy knew him. "Do I know you?"
Kira and Shino looked at Naruto shocked. "It's me!"
"Like I said, do I know you?" Kira glanced at the two trying to figure out what was going through Naruto's brain, was he trying to be funny? Shino hadn't changed that much since Naruto left. "Naru...are? Are you serious?"
"I don't know who this guy is!"
"...Hey i know it's been a while but you should at least try to remember your friends, you know. Or else it just hurts the other person's feelings."
Kira frowned looking back at Shino "Naruto! How could you forget about Shino!"
Realization struck Naruto's features "Thats Shino?! How am I supposed to recognize you with your face hidden like that!"
"My face his hidden!" Kira cried throwing her hands in the air exasperated. "Yeah but you got, you know." He threw his hands to his head and made his fingers point like devil horns. "You got long horns so it's pretty easy to remember you."
"And Shino isn't your friend? Man so rude!" She shook her head disappointed. "Wait just because I have horns thats the only reason you remembered me?!"
Naruto was going to respond when Kiba spoke up. "Shino, you're early!" Naruto's eyes widen in surprise seeing how big Akamaru had gotten. "K-Kiba?"
"Naruto, it was you, after all! I thought I recognized your scent!" He jumped off Akamaru and rushed over grinning happily while Akamaru rushed to Kira rubbing his big head against her hip tail wagging expectantly.
Kiba shook his head at the actions of his dog "And the lovely Kira, it's been a while. Ready to go on our next date." he wiggled his eyebrows a mischievous glint in his eyes. Shaking her head Kira bent down giving Akamaru her full attention.
Naruto scoffed shaking his head too "She's with Gaara. I think Kira here only likes Kage's." Kiba thought it over in his head before a sinister smirk made it to his face. "Then I guess I'll just have to be Hokage."
Kira snickered with Akamaru "As if you could ever be Hokage! She could do way better than you! Anyway whose dog is that!" He pointed to Akamaru.
"Thats Akamaru obviously, but hey did you grow or something?" Kiba started checking his height against Naruto's they were still roughly the same height.
"Me? Akamaru's the one that grew. I didn't know dogs could get that big so fast."
Kiba glanced back shrugging his shoulders "Really? I guess I never noticed because he's always with me." Shaking her head, Kira scratched Akamaru's chest making his leg start to thump loudly "How could you not notice? He used to sit on top of your head. Right Shino?"
Shino looked pissed and refused to meet Naruto's stare choosing to watch Kira and Akamaru, the large dog flopped onto his back exposing his belly whimpering for belly rubs "Your so much cuter than Kiba you know that? Everyone likes you more." she gushed doing as asked.
"You recognized Kiba right away Naruto."
"Apparently he could only remember his best friend because she has horns sticking out of her head." Kira grumbled glaring at Naruto this time as well "So don't take it too personally Shino."
"Shoot now their both mad at me." Naruto grumbled trying to think of a way to smooth things over with Kira. That was until he heard a very sharp 'eep' sound. Confused he looked around deciding to walk away for a moment or two to find the source of the noise.
'Where were you anyway? We were all supposed to meet up and get dinner the other night.' Kiba thought to her reaching down to join her in giving Akamaru affection.
'Do you know anything about the Akatsuki?' At his confused stare she continued 'They're this large group of people who are going after people like Naruto and me...People with monsters in them.' Kiba watched her left hand curl into Akamaru's fur.
'So what about them? Did they try something while you were on your mission?'
He saw her nod keeping her eyes down on the ground 'Hinata knows some about the Akatsuki but they kidnapped Gaara...He was like me. He had a monster in him and they wanted it. They kidnapped him and tortured him removing the beast from within him...he didn't make it at first…'
Kiba reached over placing a hand on her shoulder making her look up. Sure he teased her and joked about dating her but he knew her heart wouldn't belong to him. During the time Naruto was gone they had gotten very close. Almost what she and Naruto were, she was easily one of his best friends. "He's okay now." She whispered a sad smile on her lips.
"Good." Shino looked at the two of them rolling his eyes, this had to be another conversation they didn't want him listening into. He usually wasn't upset when this happened but because of Naruto forgetting him, Shino was feeling a bit self conscious. "So is that what happened on your mission with the thief?"
Kiba watched her blink confusion in her eyes at the question he just asked. "Oh no! That one was easy the guy in question is in a holding cell I think. It was the next day that we found out about Gaara and we just got back."
"So if this just happened then why are you here?! You should be with Gaara making sure he isn't over working himself!"
Kira smiled to herself staring at the ground "Sakura found some information that could lead us to saving Sasuke…" Shino and Kiba stare at her shocked.
It had been three years since their comrade had run off. Kiba could still vividly remember his battle to try and help bring the Uchiha boy back and they still failed. He had almost lost his life in the process if it wasn't for Kankuro of the Sand.
They both understood now. She was going to try and save him, bring him home finally. "I see…" a distant thud alerted the group to look over to Naruto holding a fainting Hinata.
"Anyone ever notice she always faints when he's involved?" Kiba asked anyone in the group.
"He remembered her too…"
"How could anyone forget Hinata, she's incredible!" Kira sighed shaking her head smiling to herself. "Naru bring her over here to the shade so I can look her over!"
Naruto quickly shifted the girl to being held bridal style and carried her to the group resting her gracefully on the ground under the shade. Naruto watched Kira shift her head back and forth before taking a deep breath and forming some hand signals before placing her now glowing hands on her temples.
This was nothing like he was used to, when Naruto saw Kira heal others in the past her eyes would glow a bright blue and she'd get this far off look on her face. But now she was concentrating and seemed to be trying to find something that he didn't know what.
"Naru maybe you should step back a bit." Naruto did as asked and watched the girl slowly start to wake up.
She had a confused look on her eyes as she looked around her noticing her teammates staring down at her with a knowing look, Akamaru head rested in her lap waiting for her to feel better, Kira's knowing grin as she let out a few giggles and Naruto staring at her a little bit behind everyone else a worried expression on his face. Hinata instantly felt her face heat up seeing Naruto.
"You okay?" She nodded blushing deeper at Narutos stare.
"You okay there Hinata?" She nodded again at Narutos words. "Well we were wondering if either of you want to join us in our Sasuke recovery team?"
Kiba glanced at Shino and Hinata before speaking up "Even if we wanted to we already have a mission. Sorry guys were late enough as it is."
"It's all good just stay safe alright?" Kira stood up from her spot on the ground looking back at Naruto shrugging her shoulders at his disappointment. "Yeah thanks anyway,"
Naruto and Kira watched as team Kurenai walk off to the edge of town. Naruto shoved his hands in his pockets and the two set off down the road again. He was pretty bummed that his first choice of teammates were unavailable. So while Naruto was mumbling to himself Kira over to one of the stands and ordering some Takoyaki for them.
When her food was ready they rushed back to the boy. "Hey Naru I got us some food!" The two moved to the side of the street. Naruto was still grumbling as he shoved more fried octopus balls in his mouth eating almost all of them in two minutes barely registering how hot they were. "Thanks Kira." he muttered and the two went off to Naruto's second choice in the Sasuke team.
"Bah, like I said. It's troublesome, but I have to sort out the entrants for the Chunin Exam." Naruto pouted slumping his shoulders again "I know we have a sort of friendship thing, and I'd like to help you out but theres just no way I can do what I want either. It's...that Godaime. You'd think I get enough nagging from my mother."
"Come on Shikamaru she's not that bad. She just has a lot on her plate and she trusts your opinion most. Does that mean something to you?" Kira tried to defend her Lady Tsuande. Even though Sakura was closer to Lady Tsunade than she was Kira still felt the need to stick up for the woman, after all she taught her everything she knew about healing and helped bring her brother back when he was in that coma.
Shikamaru rolled his eyes shaking his head annoyed. "In that case, I'll give you a hand." Looking over Kira smiled brightly seeing Choji. "Hey Choji!"
"Hey Kira, Hey Shikamaru! Here's the lunch your mother asked me to bring you."
"Choji!"
Shikamaru gave Choji a strange look "Choji you sure you can say that so easily? Don't you have a mission with Asuma sensei and Ino?" He said with a knowing tone.
"Come on we can't just ignore Naruto and Kira's request. I'll try talking to Asuma sensei about it." Choji reasoned smiling at the three of them.
Naruto was beaming and beyond excited that Choji would join in! "Choji thanks a lot!" Shikamaru let out a long sigh pinching the bridge of his nose before speaking up "Even if you say it to Asuma sensei, he'll still say no. He has Tsunade-sama standing over him, after all."
Naruto chuckled watching Choji munch on his bag of chips, Kira and Shikamaru glanced around getting a funny feeling of being watched. Kira started to casually unlock her weapons pouch glancing around her and keeping her ears on high alert for anything. She felt the hairs on the back of her neck of her neck stand on edge when it happened. Shikamaru quickly shoved Naruto out of the way while Choji hit the ink like monster.
When Choji's fist connected with the beast it completely turned to black ink. Shooting a kunai at the beast on the roof of the building the same thing happened. That beast turned to ink as well. Up ahead in the distance someone sat on the roof watching them, studying them. Kira frowned having never seen him before but he was wearing a Konoha headband.
"I've never seen him before...he's wearing a Konoha headband!"
"That came from nowhere. I've no idea what he's doing but that guy needs to be captured and handed over to the interrogation squad." Kira watched him move his paint brush across the paper in his lap and quickly realized what his specialty was.
His art would come to life and do as the male said. The male in question didn't seem all that memorable at first. He was dressed in black, his shirt only coming down to the bottom of his ribs exposing his stomach. His features were very pale as if he hadn't been in the sun for long periods of time. If she had seen him in a crowded area she probably would have overlooked him.
"I'll cover you. Go, Naruto!"
Kira shot up and onto the roof rushing down towards the unfamiliar male. When Naruto got close enough her suspicions were correct. The images on his sheet of paper came to life and produced six ink like tigers. Shikamaru's shadow split into six different links wrapping themselves around the beasts and destroying them Naruto and the mysterious male clashed weapons. Kira was quick to slip her own kunai around the males neck making him pause halting his movements thinking quickly on what to do next.
Naruto and Kira believing they had the upper hand decided to interrogate the male. "Who the hell are you?!"
"You're fairly weak, having to rely on this demon for your protection like always...So what do you have between your legs?"
Kira scrunched her brows together staring at the back of the males head. Who asks such a thing?! Kira grunted feeling a sharp pang spread through her rips causing her to move her blade away. Damn him. He distracted her with that saying giving him the perfect chance to jump away nicking his neck in the process of her falling down.
Hissing to herself Kira got to work focusing her chakra to surface feeling the cool current rush through her veins as she started to use an old technique. She couldn't use anything too advanced or she could risk hurting those in the village or destroying homes. No if she did that she'd be in major trouble with Lady Tsunade.
Quickly as she could she let the bullets of water escape her mouth watching to her dismay as he avoided her attacks, he must have noticed Shikamaru's shadow making its way towards him and realized he needed to escape. "We'll meet again Naruto-kun!"
The male called out before disappearing completely. Kira rubbed her chest staring where the male once was trying to think everything over. He was skilled. Very skilled. He wasn't a jonin so who was he? It could be possible he was in Anbu squad and she just never met him but she didn't know. He was different...she didn't know what to think.
"What was that?" Shikamaru muttered confused, it didn't help Kira that Shikamaru didn't even know who the male was. It was very strange indeed.
"Choji! I thought I'd find you here!" Kira let out a groan hearing the blonde bimbo call out to her comrade. Of course Ino had to come after they were just attacked. Ugh. "For crying out loud! Asuma sensei's angry that you still haven't shown up!"
Naruto and Kira hopped down off the roof of the building looking over at three of them. "Sorry Ino, some weird guy just started attacking us. At the mention of weird guy Ino looked over at where Naruto and Kira were standing.
"Weird guy? Hey, is it Naruto?!" She grinned throwing her arm in the air waving at the blonde boy. "No...the weird guy isn't Naruto...uh…"
"Naruto! Been a while!"
"It's fine now, Choji. Damn this is troublesome." Shikamaru muttered holding his head.
It was a few hours after Kira had returned to the hospital seeing her brother sitting up, his food left untouched on the tray as he stared at his lap. His mind running all over the place. She could hear his thoughts running left to right never finishing a proper sentence before moving onto another.
When noticing her arrival Kakashi gave his sister a small smile patting the bed for them to share. Kira grinned and quickly rushed to his side till she felt his arm wrap around her shoulders holding her in a hugging embrace.
Childish it seemed but she rarely cared. She loved it when Kakashi gave her affection like this, it made her feel like she was important to him. "How are you feeling?"
"A little better." he muttered hugging her tighter to his chest. "What happened while I was resting? I hope you got out of here for a little bit. You shouldn't have to sit with me while I recover."
She smiled up at him showing off her sharp fangs as she held his hand with her right hand. She couldn't feel how rough his fingers were or how cold they actually were but she was careful of the IV sticking out of the top of his hand. She had argued with the nurse to put the IV in his hand that way when he moved in his sleep the machine wouldn't go off and wake him.
"I got out for a little bit. Naruto came by and we walked around town looking for two people for Team Kakashi since you wouldn't be able to join us." Kakashi nodded reaching over with his free hand to take a bite of fish.
"Did you find anyone?"
Shaking her head she stared at the wall. "No, but we ran into some weird guy who started attacking us." She quickly explained what had happened while they were talking to Shikamaru and Choji and told him her thoughts on him. "I could be crazy and he might just be from an Anbu team but why would he attack us?"
Kakashi let out a hum thinking it over, he himself wasn't sure he had his suspicions but he couldn't be too sure about it. After all, he wasn't there and he would need to speak to Lady Tsunade.
Meeting our new team members was shocking. Kira couldn't believe the male who had attacked them yesterday was her new teammate but at least she knew the other male. She couldn't believe that Tenzo was here as the captain of their team.
"You!"
"Hiya." The male smiled it was obviously fake and it was sort of creepy. Sakura stared at Naruto and the new male confused. How did Naruto know him?
"Um...from now on, Team Kakashi, I'll be taking Kakashi's place as Captain." Kira nodded giving the male a smile, it had been some time since she worked with Tenzo but then again that wasn't his name either. It was the name she knew him as when they had worked together. "Sorry about before. I just wanted to gauge the ability of my new team members. I just didn't know how much I'd have to look after the little prick with no balls, and the bitch who can't even perform a proper water style jutsu let alone basic combat."
Kira felt her eye twitch staring at the male, did he really just say that about her? Naruto was fuming at this point! He had to be held back by Sakura as he tried to attack the male "What did you say?!"
"Hey! He's our teammate now! Cool down!" She yelled keeping a tight hold onto Naruto, she made direct eye contact with the male as she spoke again though. "But you're not that nice…"
The male started to laugh "Really? I like people like you, friendly crones." Tenzo had to restrain Sakura this time as she tried to throttle him. "You what?!"
"Hey remember what you just said to Naruto?" Tenzo yelled struggling to keep the pink haired girl from killing the boy. It took some time for Sakura to calm down, Kira had ease the girl into relaxing by promising her a girls day where they'd do whatever she wanted.
That usually worked. So when Tenzo believed that Sakura wouldn't kill the male he let her go giving Kira a thankful look. "Anyway. From now on the five of us are off on a mission. But look at you. There's no time to toss you all in a cage and get you used to each other. So introduce yourselves."
"Uzumaki, Naruto."
"I'm Haruno, Sakura."
"I'm Hatake, Kira."
"My name is Sai."
'It's good to see you again Master Tenzo,' She smiled at the man watching him nod a small smile making it's way to his face. 'It is wonderful to see you again as well Kira, but for now please call me Yamato.'
'Yes sir.'
"Well, now that we know each other, thats the end of that. Now I will explain our mission. From here the four of us will proceed to the Tenchi bridge. There we will intercept the spy the Akatsuki has in Orochimaru's organization and bring them back. This is a chance for us to find out about Orochimaru and Uchiha, Sasuke. We can gain a valuable source of information which may lead to formulating a plan to assassinate Orochimaru and take Sasuke back. So keep focused!"
Sakura, Naruto, and Kira were more than ready to bring their friend back kicking and screaming if they had to, they wouldn't fail this time. "We will assemble at the front gate in one hour. After sorting out equipment, we will depart."
After separating from the meet up point Kira, Sakura, and Naruto walked to their respective homes together. "I really just can't stand that asshole Sai!" Naruto grumbled staring at the ground as he walked. "Why is he taking Sasuke's place? Four people is enough for team Kakashi."
"He's definitely very Vulgar...but don't you think he resembles Sasuke somewhat?" Sakura tried to cheer Naruto up a little. "His face, his voice…"
Kira shrugged at Sakura's thoughts she wasn't wrong. Sai and Sasuke did look similar to one another but Sai was much paler than Sasuke ever was. "Maybe, he's still a douche though."
"Did you hear how he talked to all of us!" Naruto grumbled glaring at the ground clenching his fists "He called Kira a monster and a bitch! I mean I get that she's creepy looking sometimes with those horns and how her eyes start to glow when she gets really mad and…" Kira and Sakura were giving Naruto a look that said 'Shut Up' "But you get the idea right?"
Sakura nodded in agreement, "I agree that I don't like how he spoke to us, but we have to try and make the best of it. He is our teammate anyway."
"Hmph! Not a chance, Sasuke was way cooler than Sai ever could be...no...he's just better! There's no way I can see him as our teammate!" Naruto snapped throwing his arms behind his head. Kira and Sakura gave Naruto a new look smirking to themselves. There was no way he would have said something like that if Sasuke was around.
"You're right. Sasuke is somewhat cooler than Sai." Sakura agreed giggling to herself. "What do you mean somewhat?! Sasuke's way better!"
Shaking her head Kira waved bye to the two and walked home. She had enough time to pack and say goodbye to Kakashi. It didn't take long to grab an extra change of clothes and her weapons. A few scrolls and a book for when they had some downtime.
It took her about twenty minutes to arrange everything in her backpack. Her weapons pouch wrapped snugly against her right thigh, looking at herself in the mirror she made sure she looked presentable before making her way to the hospital.
She wanted to give Kakashi a final hug before she left for her mission, she wished Kakashi would be okay while she was gone, it shouldn't be a long mission but she hated leaving him in the hospital while she was gone. She felt like she needed to make sure he'd heal properly but Lady Tsunade had said he was in perfect hands.
At the front of the village Naruto, Sakura, and Kira all gave Sai different looks. Naruto one of annoyance, Sakura watching him carefully like Tsunade had asked of her, and Kira just had a thoughtful look very tempted to tap into his mind. His fake smile made her feel uneasy.
"Right then. Team Kakashi departs."
The group walked for two hours in somewhat silence. Kira and Yamato were chatting happily, Sakura and Naruto were shocked to see that their friend had already knew the new captain. They were talking as if they were old friends, laughing over something they didn't understand. It wasn't long though till Naruto and Sai started arguing.
Kira groaned to herself pausing with Yamato. "Why the hell are you here?! All you do is piss people off!" Naruto screamed pointing a finger in Sai's direction.
Yamato turned around facing the two boys. "Hey! Hey! Don't say something like that right in front of your Captain, Naruto. Teamwork and cooperation are the most important things in a team. I thought Kakashi had already taught you that." at Naruto's confused look Yamato continued. "Someone like you in a team with the Great Kakashi-san what is with you?"
"It's because he's not a member of team Kakashi!" Sia just rolled his eyes, placing a hand on his hip annoyed. "The other member of Team Kakashi is Sasuke!" Yamato looked over at Kira then back at Naruto. "This guy is just taking Sasuke's place, someone chosen to fill the gap. I'll never consider someone like him as a team member!"
"Well...I'm glad you think of me that way. I wouldn't want to be likened to the weak shit for brains Orochimaru's clone who only cared about power and ran off to Orochimaru betraying Konoha."
Naruto was about to yell at Sai when Sakura threw her arm out in front of Naruto stopping him and Kira spoke up. "Naruto." He was growling now. "Snap out of it and listen to me." His blue eyes traveled over to her form, her arms were crossed over her chest as she stared at all of them reminding him slightly of Kakashi sensei. "Sai has a right to his own opinion on Sasuke. He didn't know him like we did. He's right though, Sasuke ran away and joined Orochimaru."
Naruto grumbled glaring at the ground now. "It doesn't matter that Sai is replacing Sasuke, he's helping us. And Captain Yamato is right, Kakashi taught us that Teamwork is the most important thing. With you and Sai arguing all the time it could cost us our lives."
"But he…"
"Naruto I've had to work with countless assholes over the past three years but I put up with it for the sake of the mission." Sakura nodded keeping her hand outstretched. "She's right, truly the most important thing is teamwork."
"Sai, Naruto. Since he doesn't know you all that well he just said too much. I'm sorry. Please forgive Naruto."
"Sakura, Kira…"
Yamato sighed relieved with two members of his team. "I'm glad at least half of you is reasonable." Yamato murmured shaking his head. Sai had a fake grin on his face giving it to Sakura "Think nothing of it."
"Well...thats good." It was only a matter of seconds before Sakura knocked Sai onto the ground, sending him flying backwards. "On the other hand, me you don't have to forgive." Sakura snarled glaring at the male.
Sai smirked wiping the blood from his lip. "You fooled me completely that fake laugh before." He seemed impressed.
Sakura huffed "Since you don't seem to know anything about Sasuke, don't talk about things you have no idea!" Naruto stared wide eyed at the girl before her. "If you bad mouth Sasuke one more time I won't hold back."
"Gotcha...I won't say anything in front of you...but that you can use a fake smile like that, I'll remember that." Sai smiled standing up from the ground.
"You've just been hit, why're you acting so cheerful?! And why did you defend him?!" Naruto shouted the second part to Kira. She raised an eyebrow at her best friend. "A smiles the best way to get out of trouble, even if it's fake. Amazingly, it fools everyone I read that in a book before." while Naruto and Sakura glared at the male Sai continued. "It doesn't look like it works here though."
"Believe me I'd be more than happy to let go and let her take control. She's been wanting to off him for the past two days. But I'm doing my job." Naruto and Sakura grumbled to themselves. Yamato had enough and activated his jutsu, a large wooden box appeared.
"If you guys won't stop arguing, I'll have to toss you in a cage. I said we don't have time before we go to the Tenchi bridge, but there's five days." He was right, in five days it would be too late, Orochimaru would have finally taken Sasuke's body. "As the mediatory here, heres my proposition. You can spend a day or so in the cage to work out your differences or we go to that hotel that has hot springs. What'll it be?"
Shivering in fear Kira looked down already knowing the scary face he was about to make. "You guys don't really know me well either. I like being nice and friendly, but I don't have any problems with ruling by fear either."
Here we are! They are finally going to rescue Sasuke! Its taken some time and I think I like how this chapter ended. I hope you did too!
