As the teams walked out Naruto was walking in the front with Sasuke beside him, in the middle, Sakura was behind Naruto with the client in the middle and Lee on the other side of him, behind them Tenten and Neji were in the back with Gai and Kakashi a little behind the group.

As they were walking Sasuke said "So tell me dobe, why were you and the 2 stooges missing for the last couple of weeks. I mean we just returned from a mission and when I got out of the hospital you and them were gone."

Naruto said "A, I don't answer to you, B, they are not stooges. Both are better and more competent ninjas then you and C, did you even notice the genjutsu up ahead."

Sasuke scowled and said "Of coarse I did. Its in the trees."

Naruto sweatdropped and said "Stop Sasuke."

Sasuke kept walking and Naruto sighed before he replaced himself with Sasuke holding a blade intercepting the claw that would have just killed Sasuke with it. Naruto grunted as he kicked the guy backwards as a second figure jumped out of the water genjutsu hitting Naruto in the calf of his leg.

Naruto said "Shit, as he jumped back.

Kakashi appeared beside him and asked "Are you ok."

Naruto said "Yeah, dipshit refused to listen to me and I had to save his ass and got hurt, feels like poison and I need a few minutes to get it out. My whole leg is numb. Strong shit." as he fell to the ground holding his leg while looking around.

Kakashi shot Sasuke a look and said "Tenten, Sakura, watch the client, Lee, Cover Naruto and if Sasuke makes a move that puts you or the others in danger, kill him."

Sasuke looked wide eyed and said "WHAT."

Kakashi said while looking up ahead at the 2 men who were looking at the group and "you heard me Uchiha, you put the life of your team mate and the client in danger because you refused to follow orders. As such I am putting you under warning and if your actions put another teammate or client in danger again I will kill you. Now Gai, these 2 are chunnins who are known as the demon brothers, expert at team fighting and use of poison. Lets take them out so none of the others get poisoned." as he pulled out a kunai.

Gai cracked his knuckles and charged at the 2 men in front while Kakashi turned to the back of the group and ran. Everyone except Naruto seemed suprised by that and as they looked and saw Kakashi blocking the clawed hand of the one who Naruto first intercepted as the group noticed that there were copies of the 2 in front of the group behind the group as a second one tried to decapitate Kakashi only for Kakashi to duck under and implant a kunai in its stomach making the man turn into water. Kakashi then rolled to the side and said "Mizubunshin." as he looked at the man in front of him. The man turned and charged at the gennins ignoring Kakashi and Kakashi began to chase after him.

As this was happening Gai intercepted the charging pair in front and kicked one in the face with a leaf whirlwind kick as he jumped back dodging the claw swipe from the second one as the first one turned into water. The moment it did the second man turned and ran at the gennin from the opposite side as his brother did the same. The one Kakashi was chasing held his hand out and a chain shot out as did his brother and using chakra they connected together.

The demon brothers said "Slice and Dice." as they began to run a circle throught the group.

Tenten who was closest to the client brought him to the ground. Sakura ducked down scared as she started to cry, Neji moved to intercept the men with Jyuuken and when he blocked the taller of the 2 Lee appeared behind him and said "Time to die." as he grabbed the mans neck spinning it around breaking the neck. As this was happening Naruto felt sick as the world around him dropped out from under him. At that moment Sasuke charged at shorter one who backhanded him in the face only for Kakashi to appear and implanted a kunai in the mans neck.

Gai stopped and said "Is that all...wait, where Naruto." as everyone looked around.

Just then Naruto landed with a senbon needle in his shoulder and said "Shit, that hurts." as Tenten ran over to him and asked "What happened." as she removed the senbon.

Naruto said "There was a 3rd one in the trees."

Tenten pulled out a kunai and held it at Naruto neck and said "Ok, who are you." making everyone look at her.

Gai asked "What are you doing Tenten."

Tenten said "This isn't Naruto."

Naruto asked "What are you talking about Tenten."

Tenten pushed the blade closer to Naruto neck and said "A. Naruto can't be hurt by thrown objects, his defense is to good, trust me, I can't touch him. B. you forgot his pants were torn when he was cut."

Everyone looked and notice the person pant was not torn and Kakashi asked "Who are you and where is Naruto."

The person fell into the ground as an ice mirror formed under him and Kakashi said "Shit. Neji, use your bloodline and look for Naruto."

Neji activated his eyes and said "hes about a quarter of a mile to the east. Hes on the ground tied up and passed out."

Kakashi said "not good, is he alone."

Neji said "Yes."

Gai said "Lee, Neji and Tenten, come with me and we will get him and return, Kakashi can watch the client until then, use your cool hip attitude as the code Kakashi."

Kakashi nods and team Gai jumped into the trees moving toward where Naruto was.

When they got there Lee landed beside Naruto and checked him out and said "Looks like the poison was to strong for his bloodline to stop on its own and made him pass out. Guess hes never encountered this one before." as he untied him.

Neji asked "What bloodline and are you talking about."

Lee said "He has advanced healing, any poison he encounters once he cures it he will never be poisoned by it again since he immediately becomes immune to it. This must be something strong to take him out though." as he picked Naruto up and they started to jump back toward team 7.

When they arrived Gai said "MY ETERNAL RIVAL, I CHALLENGE YOU."

Kakashi looked up from his book and said "Hmm, you say something Gai."

Gai said "Damn your cool hip attitude."

Kakashi said "Enough. So how is he."

Lee said "He will be fine in a little while, the poison was stronger then we thought and was one he never encountered before, his bloodline should fix it soon though." as he glared at Sasuke who was holding his nose.

Sakura said "We should go back, Naruto wounded and Kakashi threatened to kill Sasuke-kun and needs to be arrested."

Naruto groaned and said "Somebody kill the harpy." as he placed his head on his neck.

Tenten was beside him in moments and asked "Are you ok."

Naruto said "Yeah, bitch had a mean haymaker." as he rubbed his neck.

Lee asked "What happen back there."

Naruto said "I'm not real sure. I was still taking care of my leg trying to bleed the poison out when the ground under me turned to ice and I started to fall. Next thing I knew I saw a female looking hand hitting the side of my neck and then I was waking up here."

Kakashi frowned and said "Must be the person who impersinated you since she left the same way. Luckily Tenten recognised her as a fake before she could get to the client."

Lee said "What of the poison."

Naruto said "My bloodline took care of it already except for the numbing part which is why I was trying to bleed it out. I thought with everyone here I could let my gaurd down a moment. Sorry." as he stood up and winced.

Kakashi said "No, its alright. None of us were expecting that kind of suprise while we faced those other 2. Your just lucky she decided to knock you out instead of kill you."

Naruto nods and said "Probably to use me as a hostage if plan A failed."

Sasuke said "Quit acting tough dobe, you let yourself get captured and try to make it sound like you could have protected yourself."

Naruto sighed and said "What I wouldn't give for a pound of C4, a remote detonator, a box of fireworks, and a beer about now."

Lee snickered while everyone else seemed confused.

Kakashi said "Right, well lets continue the mission."

Sakura said "But you are under arrest Kakashi sensei."

Everyone sweatdropped and Kakashi said "Really, and whose arresting me and for what."

Sakura said "I am for threatening a Konoha Ninja." as she pulled out some ninja wire and walked toward Kakashi.

Kakashi held out his hands and said "You got me." and let her tie them together. As she formed a walking chain with them Kakashi said "Right, lets move out now." as he began walking toward Wave dragging Sakura who was screaming "STOP, WHAT ARE YOU DOING."

Kakashi said "Resisting Arrest." as he pulled out his book and began to read as he walked.

Naruto smiled and said "You know, I am so glad hes our sensei." as he stuck his tongue out at Sakura who had her feet planted in the ground pulling away from Kakashi as he dragged her along the road.

A few hours later the group stopped for the night to set up camp and Gai said "Right, I know this area pretty well and since we don't know where our young friend is or if he has anyone else with him or her we will set up camp here and do the buddy system. Lee and Sakura will set up camp, Sasuke and Neji will get firewood and Naruto and Tenten will go and get water and try to catch some fish in the stream about 2 miles east of here if I remember correctly."

Each of the teens nod and went about thier jobs.

Naruto and Tenten found a stream where Gai had said and Tenten asked "So how are you doing."

Naruto said "Fine."

Tenten nods and said "Why don't you fill up the canteens why I go down stream a little and try to catch some fish."

Naruto said "Alright, lets use what you called me when you woke up in the hospital as our pass word, you take the first word and I will take the second."

Tenten said "Ok." as she looked emberrased.

Tenten walked down the stream about 200 yards and looked at the water when she heard a voice say "get away from my food." and she looked around startled and asked "Whose there."

She looked around and heard the voice say "Damn humans, your scarring away my food. I got to act now to get it before it escapes." as Tenten went wide eyed as a hawk dove pass her and grabbed a fish with its claws and flew over to the other side and dropped the fish and started to eat.

Tenten thought "what the hell." as she looked at the hawk.

The hawk looked at her and said "Is that human going to try and steel my food. I must go then." as it grabbed the fish it was eating and flew away.

Tenten thought "That hawk talked but hawks cant talk. I don't understand hawks. Am I going crazy." as she walked over and scooped up some water and splashed it into her face and did it again as she ran the water across her cheeks and against her ears trying to shake the thought of talking animals out of her head.

As she looked at herself in the water she saw herself looking normal and thought "it must be my immagination or the heat. Its not like I can mysteriously underst...wait a minute." as she looked at herself in the water again and saw the earing in her ear and she thought "I remember, I got this earing when I couldn't understand Jason and he said it allowed you to understand any language so if thats true then everything else that happen is true then that means..." as her eyes went wide as she looked upstream at Naruto.

As she looked at him she thought "That means him and Lee are really power rangers and I was also so I didn't get hurt on a mission. I need to confront them about it but how."

Naruto came walking up toward her and asked "Is everything ok Tenten."

Tenten said "Yeah. I think the heats getting to me, I keep having flashback of my dream. Power."

Naruto said "Ranger...You know, they say that if you have nightmares you can sometimes talk about it and they can help you with them. If you want we can talk about it."

Tenten thought "this could work, I can play with this and find out whats going on." and said "Ok, what do you want to know about it."

Naruto said "Well why don't you tell me it all from the begining."

Tenten nods and over the next 20 minutes she tells it all while watching Naruto as he caught some fish. When it was over Naruto said "Hmm, that was quite a dream. Do you feel better now that you talked about it."

Tenten said "Not really, I feel like alot was left unanswered."

Naruto nods and said "Perhaps its because I woke you up after you said no. Perhaps there was more to it."

Tenten said "I don't think so. I mean I would have said No anyways."

Naruto frowned and asked "Why."

Tenten said "my dad. I could give up everything but him. After my mom died we were all we had together so I couldn't just up and leave him."

Naruto nods as he lays back on the grass and said "I see, I can understand that."

Tenten said "Good, now I just wish I knew what would have happened after I said no. I mean what would the you and Lee have done."

Naruto said "Well I don't know Tenten, I personally think you made a good decision. I think your dream played what you knew as true and made the rest up to help you sort it out."

Tenten asked "What do you mean."

Naruto said "Well, take Lee for instant. Hes an orphan like me, we don't really have anything tying us down like family and we both are considered outsiders by our piers, Lee because of his inability to use chakra and me for being a stranger so we don't really have alot of friends beside you and our sensei. It would be easier for us to be these mysterious power rangers you dreamed about but thats just my take, I could be wrong and you could simply have been having one of those cinderella dreams where after that you would be captured by some evil monster and your 2 knights in shinning armors came to save you. It could be you have feelings for Lee and since me and him are good friends you included me."

Tenten frowned and said "Why couldn't I have had feelings for you in my dream then."

Naruto waved his hand as he stood up and said "Sorry, nobody gets close to me because everyone who does gets hurt then. Thats something I realised with sensei passing." as he dusted his pants off and began walking toward camp.

Tenten frowned and thought "damn it, he makes it seem more like a dream then reality every time I turn around. It could have been a damn fantasy but I did hear that falcon but what if it was the heat. Damn it, What am I to do. Plus the fact he doesn't let me get close. Maybe thats why I dreamed it because hes a mystery and I keep trying to solve it." as she stands up and begins to follow him.

When they arrived at camp Kakashi asked "What took so long."

Naruto said "Something spooked the fish so we had trouble finding them. Probably a fox or wolf or something."

Kakashi nods and everyone starts to cook their fish.
