(Bell's Point Of View)
I have woken up the next morning feeling refresh from a good night of sleep I had.
I got ready for the day and went outside for a walk for which I ran into Hinata Hyuuga who was also out for a walk. I called and ran out to her for which she smiled and let me catch up.
I looked at her in amazement as I said that she has gotten more beautiful the past three years which made her blush and silently talk, "Thank you, though you are the most beautiful Kunoichi in the village..."
I scoffed and told her not to listen to rumors because I thought that everyone was beautiful in their own way.
We walked through the market and was talking until our conversation came to the knucklehead. "So, you still love Naruto?" She shook her head which made my eyes widen as she spoke.
"I finally realized that Naruto wasn't for me... But for you Bell!" I was shocked and started stuttering mumbled words that none of us could understand until she grabbed my eyes gently and spoke.
"I know that you and Naruto love each other, I can tell by how you guys act and talk to each other... Besides, I have found someone else!" I looked at her with a confused look, asking who it was.
She told me that it was Kiba Inuzuka, her teammate, that she has fallen in love with and that he loves her as well. "So, are you guys a couple?" She shook her head, and said that she hasnt't told him that she loves him yet.
I shook my head as I heard someone shout my name so I turned to see Sakura with a smile on her face as she saw Hinata as well. "Hey Hinata! Haven't seen you in a while, how have you been."
She says that she has been doing well for which Sakura turned to me, telling me that we were getting our first mission as Team Kakashi which made me smile.
I followed her to the Hokage office, just as I heard Naruto shouting, probably because he thinks that the mission is lame, and we walked in.
Immediately, Sakura put him into a head lock for which telling him to shut up. I smiled, knowing that Naruto hasn't changed that much which made me happy.
Suddenly, a code breaker ninja came in and gave Lady Tsunade the scroll and her eyes widen, so I asked what was wrong.
She looked at us with a serious look, "Team Kakashi! I am assigning you to an A-rank mission. The Akatsuki has captured the Kazekage, Garra. You have to retrieve him and you need to hurry since it takes three days to get there..."
My eyes widen, knowing what was going to happen to Garra if the Akatsuki have him for which Naruto asked what was wrong so I looked at him with a worried look.
"They are going to try to separate Garra from the One Tail... If we don't get there quick enough... Garra will die."
Naruto and Sakura looked shocked at the news for which Naruto's eyes narrowed and said that they had to go for which we all nodded then scattered to get our stuff ready.
Once I was all packed for a two week trip, I ran to the village gates to see everyone waiting for me then we left.
Running through the trees, for about thirty minutes, we saw Temari walking towards the Sand Village in a calm matter.
We told her about Garra so she came along with us to the trip to the Sand Village.
I looked over at Naruto to see that he had his eyes stuck to the ground as we jumped through the trees so I jumped next to him and got into his pattern.
"Naru..." I asked as he looked up at me with teary eyes which made me frown in sadness becuase I have never seen Naruto cry before.
I gave him a comforting smile and told him that we were going to save Garra if it was the last thing we do. He looked at me with wide eyes as he looked in front of him with a tear going down his cheek.
"You... Called me Naru... Why?" I looked at him and smiled, "Well, I think it could be our thing to call each other by pet names... Naru!" He looked at me and chuckled, "Alright then... Be!"
We both laughed as we stopped to make camp since it was getting dark and we need to take shelter for the rest of the night.
**********Time skip brought to you by having a panic attack at school**********
After three days of getting to Suna, Sakura and I went to see Kankuro, Garra's older brother, because he got poison in his system from fighting the Akatsuki.
He screamed in pain as he unconsciously grabbed Naruto's... I mean, Naru's hand.
Sakura and I put our hair up into the pony tail so it wouldn't get in the way and we got to work. Sakura looked at me as she spoke, "The poison has spread mainly to his chest. We have to get as much out as possible, so I can find an anitdote."
I nodded as I started to fill up a big bow full of water so she could put the poison into it. We were about to get started, but an old woman tried to kick Kakashi-sensei.
I tried to ignore them as I used my medical Ninjutsu to help keep Kankuro calm enough that we can get the poison out. I remembered what happened at the Sannin fight so I decided to try it again.
I put my hands on his forehead and used my medical Ninjutsu as I started to sing softly.
"Karanokokoro o terasu mono wa nani?
Sakebi tsudzukeru hikari todoku made

Tomoni tomoni ikite yukou"
Once I finished singing softly, I see that Kankuro has fully calmed down and Sakrua has taken most of the poison out, enough to make an antidote.
I turned to see that the old lady was looking sour which made me confused so I looked over to Naruto and he just shrugged his shoulders, making me nod.
Sakura has finished making the antidote, with the help of the other doctors, and came up to us.
We all walked to the Suna Village gates then Kakashi-sensei summoned the same dog he used in the Invasion during the Chunin Exams.
I see him pull out a cloth of Akatsuki's clothes that he got from Kankuro and let the dog smell it, so we knew where we had to go. He said that it was to the north for which he thanked him and Pakkun disappeared.
He turned to look at me for which I stood up straight, waiting for orders. "Bell, you are a sensory ninja, correct?" I nodded as he told me that I was to keep a look out for the reinforcements or threats of any kind.
I nodded as we were about to leave, until the old lady from before jumped in front of us and told us that she was coming with us for which we hesitantly agreed to let her come.
We have been traveling for about an hour now and I sensed someone in front of us so I held my hand up to stop everyone just as we got into an empty field until we saw one of the Uchiha brothers... Itachi Uchiha.
"Hello Naruto... Risu..." I narrowed my eyes as I told everyone not to look into his eyes because he has the Mangekyou Sharingan.
He pointed at Naruto, "I want you, Kyuubi..." I streched my hand in front of Naruto, telling him that he will get no where near him.
I raced up and punched him, but he turned out to be a clone made out of crows. I felt sudden anger flow through me as I knew that he could be anywhere.
Suddenly, I heard Naruto shout "Rasengan" and pointed it at nothing which made me turn to the old woman and Sakura then told them that he was a Genjutsu so they poored Chakra into him to release it.
Naruto gasped as he asked what happened as Sakura stated that he was in a Genjutsu which made him flinch, making me wonder what he saw in the Genjutsu.
Shaking the thought off, I heard Kakashi-sensei tell Naruto and I to be his back up's for which we nodded.
We finally reached Itachi and Naruto made a giant Rasengan for which hit him, sending him flying. We walked over to his courpse to see that it wasn't Itachi, but someone else.
This got me thinking as to why he would replace himself just to distract us... To distract us... That's it!" Turning to Kakashi-sensei, he nodded, knowing what I was thinking.
I told them that this was just a diversion to to distract us from getting to Garra in time which made Naruto mad as we went on our journey again.
Once It got dark, we set up camp so we could rest and I was about to get some sleep, but I couldn't because I was too worried for Garra and Naruto.
Sitting up, I see that Naruto had watch duty so he was up in a tree where I heard silent sobs.
Quietly going up the tree, I hugged Naruto from behind which surprised him but more tears just fell down his face. "Why is it always Garra? He just became the Kazekage... Why can't it just be me for a change!"
My eyes widen as I started to rock Naruto back and forth as I spoke, "Don't ever say that Naru... Both of you have been through so much... Garra will be fine, and we will be the team that we alway's were, okay? Do not ever wish this on yourself... I need you, Naru... More then you think..."
With that Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at me with serious eyes. "When all this craziness is all over, there is something I want to ask you, Bell... I mean, Be."
I nodded and told him that his shift was over so it was time to wake up Kakashi-sensei for his round. Jumping out of tree, Naruto woke up Kakashi-sensei and went to bed like I did, thinking about what we wanted to tell me.
*********Time skip brought to you by having an Ovaries Cyst on my right side*********
The next morning, we started back on our trip where Naruto was way ahead of us, staying out of formation which got Sakura mad and Lady Chiyo confused as to why he was so determined to get Garra back, so Kakashi-sensei answered.
He started to explain how they are both very similar with their childhood and how they were treated. They were also Jinchurriki's which made life even harder for the both of them.
Kakashi-sensei told her that they fought together in the Invasion of Konoha and changed Garra's heart so it wasn't so hard and thirsty for blood.
Listening to what they were saying, made me think if Garra had anyone to protect him when he was little because Naruto had the Anbu Black Ops and me personally.
I really hope that we get to him into time before...
