CHAPTER THRITEEN :FATALITIES + QUALMS = MISSION IN JEOPARDY

The Save-Sasuke team plus one were only a few meters from their destination when...

"SASAME, STOP!" Kakashi called out.

But it was too late.

BOOM!

The Fuuma felt extreme pain when her body was thrown by the explosion to the nearest tree. The girl might have fallen straight to the ground if the Copy-Nin didn't catch her. Jiraiya, after making sure that no enemies were present, approached the two, jumping from tree to tree.

"Is she okay?"

Kakashi was about to reply but...

"I'm o-," the lass said before coughing out blood.

Naruto, who jumped farthest from explosion for Sakura's safety, immediately ran towards them.

"What's wrong with Sasa- is that blood?"

"It's nothing to worry about we have t-"

She coughed and more blood was spilled one the ground.

"Internal injuries, your collision must have damaged your organs," the jounin explain.

"I'm fine," Sasame said before trying to stand up.

Unfortunately, extreme pain hindered and she collapsed.

"Don't push yourself. It might worsen your condition."

"But..."

Jiraiya turned around and...

"Here, I'll give you piggy -back ride."

WAPAK.

Naruto's right foot collided with the Sannin's face.

"Ero-sannnin, we don't have time for perverted thoughts."

As Kakashi watch the two bicker (again), he began to assess their situation.

A presence of a trap means a presence of a ninja: a foe or an ally. Since this is an enemy territory, the shinobi would likely be a threat to their lives.

He knew that they have to leave as soon as possible but they are already in great danger. Whoever had set up the trap was most probably moving to their direction.

"OKAY FINE."

Kakashi was snap out from his musings.

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i

A few more minutes, Sasame was riding a toad that Jiraiya had summoned.

"I don't think this is a good idea," the girl blurted out.

"Really? I'll give you a piggy back-"

"No, it's okay. I'll get... used to it," she said with hint of uncertainness.

"Just tell me if you change your mine, okay?" the sannin said with a smile of assurance.

"Let's move, we're wasting more time," the loudmouth muttered.

They would have wasted more time if Kakashi hadn't intervened.

"You guys go ahead. I'll stay here."

"Kakashi-sensei, that's danger-"

"Naruto, the explosion had alerted all ninjas that are present within the vicinity. Kakashi wanted to ensure not our safety but also for the medic we are looking for," Jiraiya explained.

The Kyuubi vessel opened his mouth to protest but sighed in defeat.

"Fine, sensei but you'll catch up with us right?"

The Sharingan Kakashi ruffled his student's blonde hair before answering.

"I have Pakkun remember?"

With such assurance, the boy jumped to the next tree followed by a human-sized toad.

"Thank you, Jiraiya-sama."

"Don't thank me. The boy is right. You better take care of yourself," the sannin said before following Naruto.

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i

The four, how would Orochimaru have described them? Ah yes, the four pathetic excuse for a jounin were setting up their camp for the day. After discovering that Snape was missing, they immediately left for Sound. But when they arrived, everything was in total chaos. The village was fortunate that the second-in-command returned from his mission. Kabuto immediately dispatched them to redeem their mistakes. It was their fault after all. If they had seriously guarded Snape, Orochimaru's plans would be a success.

"Damn that Snape, when I get my hands on him I'll give him the worst possible death," one of them declared while preparing their tent.

"That is if Orochimaru-sama will spare us from the worst death possible," a fellow comrade replied.

The nin who was preparing the bonifire was already fed up with the other's pessimistic attitude.

"Oh, just what we need more nega-"

"ENOUGH," the team leader shouted.

"All of you get back to your respective tasks. Arguing won't help us in succeeding this mission," he continued.

Everyone remained silent. The leader was right. When the Snake sannin found out that Snape got out of the village, he punished the guard severely. It was surprising that they spared with such fate. Failure was never an option for a Sound ninja.

In a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, a loud explosion reached their ears.

"Is that ..."

Everyone nodded and run toward the smoke. This was the chance they've been waiting for.

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i

A few minutes after explosive trap scene, Jiraiya and the others had reached their destination. Sasame pointed at a small house.

"That's were R-," she said before fainting.

"SASAME-CHAN!"

"Her injuries were worse than we expected," Jiraiya observed.

"What are we standing here for?" the boy said while running toward the cottage.

"Naruto," the older man called out.

"WHAT!"

"Take this with you," the man said as he holds out a small paper.

"That's..."

"I'm going back. I have a bad feeling."

And in a poof he was gone. The aspiring Hokage stared at the small paper on his right hand. The mission was taking so many casualties. For the first time, Naruto wondered if Sasuke is indeed worth the sacrifice.

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i

"It was unnecessary for you to come back, Jiraiya-sama. You shouldn't have left Naruto and the other. What if they're attacked?"

The Sannin's instinct was right. Four bodies were scattered on the ground. Unfortunately, Kakashi was also severely injured.

"Naruto can fend for himself. I've trained him. He's capable enough."

"But..."

The jounin sighed and watched as the Sannin dispose of the bodies.

"It looks like my abilities are still not enough," he muttered loudly.

"What do you mean?"

The Hatake closed his eyes.

"Three years ago, Kabuto tried to kill Sasuke after the preliminary tournament. I was able to stop him but it was not enough defeat him. Later, I was in a coma due to Itachi. I realized I'm not powerful enough to protect my team. So I trained and improved my Sharingan but it's..."

"Don't open your mouth," Jiraiya said as he ditched the last body.

"Your wasting your energy," the frog Sannin said while he took Kakashi's right arm over his shoulder.

No answer.

"You're giving up already?" he asked.

"... I'm a failure. Obito died due to my stubbornness. I can't even help my sensei to fight the Kyuubi. Rin died because I wallowed myself in depression. I wasn't able to convince Sasuke, the importance of teamwork. I couldn't even consider my self as Naruto's sensei. Now, Sakura's dying because she saved my life."

No one spoke sometime. Jiraiya continue to jump from tree to tree in silence. Until...

"It feels good right?"

"Huh?" the Copy-Nin wondered loudly.

"To let it all out. You shouldn't hide your feelings too much. True, ninjas are not allowed to show their emotions but we're still human. You should find someone to confide to or much better find yourself a wife."

Laughter filled the forest but soon it was replaced by a cry of pain.

".. that was a good joke Jiraiya-sama."

"It's not a joke, Hatake."

It's been quite a while since the frog summoner called him by last name. The last time was during Yondaime's death.

"I never saw myself settling down. And you have never settled down yourself."

Jiraiya grunted and replied.

"True but you don't hear me recommending it."

And silence reigned on the rest of their journey.

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i

"You should change your clothes."

She watched as bright blue eyes stared back at her. Different memories were triggered as she continued to look at them.

"Thanks," the boy replied taking the clean shirt.

"Where is the…"

"At the end of this hallway," she said as she pushed those events on the back of her mind.

The boy muttered a 'thanks' before leaving the room.

She decided to check on her patients. She was filled with shame that they almost died because she refused to help them earlier. But when opened the door and saw the boy, it was enough to change mind. Her guilt increased when she recognized Sasame and read the letter. She usually didn't think twice when helping someone but she has to protect those two.

A week ago, a man came to her cottage and asked for medical attention for a young lad with him. Unfortunately, the boy hasn't improved a bit. She hoped that the blonde kid and his companions would leave as soon as they were fully healed. She didn't know if she can keep the secret anymore.

Someone knocked on the door.

"WHAT HAPPENED?" she heard the boy shout.

She immediately stood up and went to the living room. Nothing had prepared her for this moment.

The injured white-haired man with a forehead protector hiding his left eye said only one word, "Rin?"

!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
