Chapter 2: Search
'We have to get there in time this time. I can't be too late again. It's different now. They would actually kill each other.' Kakashi thought as he jumped through the tree. He couldn't hide his worries anymore. Guy, Shikamaru, Sakura and Bee were right behind him. "What if we don't manage to stop them? Are you sure we are able to do this?" Sakura seemed she was about to cry which made Kakashi even more worried while Guy seemed as motivated as ever. "Of course we will. We have the Eight Tails' Jinchuriki and Shikamaru. Even if he isn't able to trap and held one of them with his Shadow Possession- or Shadow Strangle Jutsu, he will still probably have a bunch of backup plans. Sakura, you will be there to heal one of them and Tsunade is on her way, too. I'll help catching them as well and Kakashi could still trap one of them in another dimension and we can deal with them separately." Guy said doing his stupid usual grin. "Yeah, that's what I told you earlier." Shikamaru seemed a bit annoyed by both Guy's personality and the fact that he just stole his plan. Afterall, he was a Jounin now, too.
Pakuun, who was leading them, gave a sign change the direction. Naruto and Sasuke must have changed their fighting ground. Or they finally found it because now the pursuit team ran or more jumped straight toward the Valley of the End. Such a fitting place to end this final fight to the death. The place the first Hokage and Madara once fought. The place they fought themselves about 4 years ago when Naruto and the others tried to bring back Sasuke. Now they fight over the title of the Hokage though Sasuke's still exactly not with them anymore. But at least he isn't with Orochimaru or the Akatsuki anymore and doesn't wanna destroy the hidden leaf village. But still, this fight isn't really friendly. And they've grown - much to Kakashi's worry. Do they even stand a chance against these powerful ninja anymore? Naruto could still be rational and wouldn't be willing hurt them. So they shouldn't surprise him. But with Sasuke... would he kill them if they come in his way? They will probably only have one chance with him. If Yamato would just be here. He would be a huge help. Or the Edo Tensei of the Hokage. They could really use the help of the first - as a wood style user - and the second and fourth with their Flying Thunder God Technique. If they had those ninja it would be possible to capture him - especially with a surprise attack. Kakashi let out a sigh. 'What should we do if our plan doesn't succeed? I hope Shikamaru already has a bunch of backup plans - because I don't. We just cannot afford to lose anybody else. We've already lost so many in battle. And it still isn't over. Obito and Madara are still out there. And they have the Juubi...' Kakashi thought to himself frowning. But he was interrupted by Bee who was suddenly beside him. "Quit looking so depressed, fool, ya fool! Naruto will be fine and he won't kill this other guy." "And we have the Eight Tails. Bee still has better control over him, so he could be able to stop him so that the others can concentrate on Sasuke." Shikamaru added. Then the five ninja continued jumping through the trees in silence, but about 40 minutes later the silence was broken by the sound of the Chidori about 8 miles away and the sound of a body falling into the water though this could only be heard by Pakuun. It made the ninja jump even faster.
