meanwhile Kakashi had indeed been captured again after a three hour chase

"little brat you were lucky last time you won't be so lucky again"

"just wait and see they'll find out I'm alive eventually and once that happens my village will find me and you will be taken down"

suddenly though he heard a voice he thought he'd never hear

"I think not after all there's been a powerful genjutsu put on the rock nin who volunteered to be you dead"

"Orochimaru why are you here?"

"what do you think?"

"traitor"

"maybe but at least now I have freedom to do whatever I want"

with that Orochimaru got closer to Kakashi with a strange device flowing with chakra. While that was going on team yellow flash was finally forced to take a break after going pretty much full speed for the entire day

"okay guys we need to rest, besides the search teams Hokage-Sama sent for Kakashi have probably been informed of our "escape" from the village by now"

the other two stop at hearing those words not knowing that Sandaime had no knowledge of the three of them leaving the village thanks to Jiraiya and the fact they they hadn't noticed the two chuunin

"sensei, are we ever going to find Kakashi?"

"yes we will, I don't know when or how but we will find him"

and so they camp out for the night doing there best not to be noticed by both friends and foes. The next day they continued towards Rock bent on finding their missing comrade and friend while also being prepared for fighting since they were after all still in the midst of war. An hour after they entered they finally had to fight some Rock nin but with there determination and the fact that the Rock nin were caught by surprise they quickly won

"come on they might not have been alone we need to try and find where Kakashi was taken and we've got to find it fast"

and so they quickly get a move on hoping to find a trail that would lead them to Kakashi. Meanwhile back in Konoha the Third had bigger problems then team yellow flash going without orders his search team was supposed to report in daily and he hadn't heard from them for the last 24 hours basically they were overdue for a check-in

"has the search team sent a message yet?"

"no Hokage-Sama"

(sighs) "very well, let me know if you get a message from them and if we don't hear from them by tomorrow let me know so that I can find another team suitable for the mission"

he continues sending out others on critical or not so critical missions thinking that maybe Minato Namikaze was correct in that they were the best team for the mission because of the fact that Kakashi was their teammate and decided that if he didn't hear from the rescue team by tomorrow he'd send for team yellow flash to save their comrade (not knowing that they were already doing that). Late that night the Third received news that he had hoped not to receive from a patrol team.

(sighs) "I was hoping this wasn't the case"

he signaled for an ANBU to report to him which happened very quickly

"find Minato Namikaze and tell him to report to me immediately"

and so the ANBU officer left in search of Namikaze. Twenty minutes later the ANBU returned with no Namikaze

"where's Minato Namikaze?"

"he's not in the village sir"

"what?"

suddenly Jiraiya popped in

"the ANBU is right sensei Minato and his team are already in Rock country by now if they moved full speed during the day and rested at night to avoid detection"

"and how do you know this my student?"

"because I saw him trying to leave and allowed him and I also saw his two remaining students sneak by as well"

(annoyed) "Jiraiya..."

"I figured it was for the best sensei Minato and his team have a better chance of finding Kakashi then anyone else for one main reason and one reason only"

"and what reason would that be?"

"they want to find Kakashi because he's their teammate, their family member"

(sighs) "was I wrong to keep them here because of how close they are to the situation?"

"maybe sensei, but maybe telling them no was also a good thing because that gave them a chance to calm down and make a plan to escape the village"

"then all I can do is trust them to do what they said they're going to do"

"actually sensei I would suggest sending in a support team to help them escape if things get too hot for them"

"what makes you say that?"

"it's just a feeling sensei but I want you to send a support team, I fear they might run into trouble"

"very well"

and so he sent for another team to back up team yellow flash. Once the support team heard the mission they didn't even go back to their homes and immediately went to the gate knowing that they needed to get as close to team yellow flash as they could before they were forced to rest.
