A/N:
Coolestbee: Yes, I do think you are right. And thank you so much for the encouragement, tbh, I didn't know what actually would fit rightly into the summary. But now that you said so, I have tried my best to write a good summary. Thank you once again.
The last chapter was the current situation. From here on, it will be from battle of Naruto and Sasuke at the Valley of the end. So it is like four years back from the first chapter. And I just don't want to pull something out of the canon just like that, so here it is. I hope so much that you all like this.
It's been a while since their team broke apart. The once team seven no longer existed in their hearts. It was long gone.
The team seven now was merely a team. A team that would be put to use unless the dire need. Sure their team is as exceptional as ever. But with five rather than four.
Naruto was there for them. So was Kakashi. And Sai, well, he decided to remain the mystery he was. As for Sasuke and Sakura, they couldn't understand themselves anymore. They couldn't define themselves anymore. They couldn't justify themselves anymore.
Naruto was the same to an extent. Kakashi would pf course never change. But here they were all broken. And then there's Sai, he did change, considerably, that is.
It was all thanks to Naruto. If it was not for him, you wouldn't know what would have happened with Sasuke.
That fateful day, when the two fought...
SASUKE...!
NARUTO...!
And hence the rasengan and the dark chidori clashed in the sky.
Their brilliance was blinding. The sound was way too intense than the screeching noise of the chidori. Soon the sky was dark. Rain poured down.
The two boys laid on the harshness of the ground, Naruto seemingly unconscious.
Somewhere in the woods, approaching them was their sensei. Kakashi along with Pakkun was sprinting fast through the tall trees. They sensed the change of the climate.
"Hey, Kakashi, I have a bad feeling about this," the dog said earning nothing more than a silence for the response.
But Pakkun didn't skip his gaze meeting the ground slightly before his eyes closed for a few split moments, as he turned to Kakashi.
They continued as they wished the two prodigies would stay safe. And it was not long before they reached the final valley.
But unluckily, it was only Naruto they found there. Sasuke was nowhere in their vision.
As they approached the boy's unconscious body towards his feet rather than his head, it was made clear to them that what happened has taken the boy close to death. The sight could have misleaded anyone if it was not for a flickering chakra signature within the boy.
"Pakkun."
Came a voice from behind the blond's head.
And then, an orange toad that would match Naruto's jacket with some violet dots over it came into sight.
"Gamakichi!"
"What are you doing here? And is that the famous copy cat?"
The words of the little toad would make you laugh if the tone matched. Instead, it was grim.
"Yes, Gamakichi, I hope you know that I am Naruto's sensei," said the masked jounin.
"Yeah.. I remember. You're Sasuke's sensei and Naruto happened to be on the same team," Gamakichi said, "Anyway, if you're to help, better rush."
Kakashi did not know the exact way to respond back. He let the former comment slip for the moment. He would brood over it later. And have everything clarified with the toad before him. There was a much important task at hand.
Without a word or a sound, he picked up the boy carefully and put him over his shoulders. Before retreating, "I will ask Naruto to summon you when he's in the condition."
Gamakichi then simply vanished with a puffy cloud.
