While they were walking, Kakashi couldn't help but trying to figure out what was wrong. They have been walking for over 3 hours now, and neither Naruto nor Sakura had said a word. That was quite unusual. Kakashi looked to his right, at Sakura, and then at his left,at Naruto. He had a rather annoyed expression on his face, he just couldn't figure it out. Another 2 hours passed in complete silence.

'' Alright, we will take a break now. '' , Kakashi said.

'' What? No! '' , Naruto protested.

'' Naruto, sit down, only for 15 minutes. '' , Kakashi replied annoyed.

Naruto crossed his arms in disagreement but sat down. Sakura sat under a tree, and leaned her back on it. Kakashi sat down a few feet away from Naruto.

Naruto's gaze was stuck on Sakura, who was reading.

'' Naruto, is everything alright? '' , Kakashi finally asked.
Naruto turned his head and faced Kakashi. His expression was confusing. ''What do you mean Kakashi-sensei? '' , asked Naruto.

'' With Sakura and you, you two ae awfuly quiet today. '' , continued Kakashi.

'' No, no, everything is fine. '' , said Naruto realizing he didn't convince Kakashi.

Kakashi sighed and they spend the next 10 minutes in silence, just like before.

As they left off, Kakashi noticed a shadow in the bushes. He ignored it, but was aware it was following them.

20 minutes later, kunais started flying at Team 7 from left and right. Everyone reacted. The attack was dodged and reflected.
2 men jumped out of the bushes. One of them had black hair, but his face was covered with a mask, simmilar to Kakashi's.

The other one had short brown hair and a black beird. His black eyes with glaring at them. He quickly pulled out his sword and rushed Naruto's way. He swinged his sword aiming for Naruto's chest, but was blocked by Naruto's kunai. Naruto quickly kicked his stomach, pushing him away a bit. The man grinned and his shadow clone appeared behind Naruto with a sword. When the sword cut Naruto's body in half, a poof of smoke appeared, and with it 2 blocks of wood. Naruto appeared behind the man with his rasengan. '' Rasengan! '' , Naruto yelled out when it touched the man's back, and killed him.

Realizing his comrad was dead, the man performed a hand-sign. '' Fire Ball Jutsu! '' , he yelled out. A second later 7 fire balls were heading towards Kakashi. Kakashi quikcly jumped in the air, dodging them. While the man was focused on Kakashi in the air, he didn't see Sakura coming. Sakura punched his back, breaking his spine, knocking him into a tree. As he fell down, Kakashi appeared above him and he quickly cut his neck with his kunai. He was dead.

'' I hope this was more exiting for you Naruto. This is just the beginning. '' , Kakashi said and started walking up the road again.

Naruto grinned and followed after Kakashi.

Sakura looked at them both, and started walking behind them.
