What Changes...

Chapter 4:Mission:Protect the Bridge Builder! Part 2

They safely made it to the land of waves about an hour ago. They're currently walking through the forest that lies between the docks and Tazuna's house. Kakashi could sense the tension hovering over his students heads. He vaguely wondered why they were so uptight. Before they entered the forest they kept asking Tazuna if there was any other way to get to his house that didn't include hundreds of trees. He wanted to know what went through their heads. Now that he thought about it...there was something strange about his team. They're only twelve...but sometimes they act older. He also noticed that they were nothing like the information about them he got from Iruka.

Well...in some cases they were. But they could also be the exact opposites too. The information he got on Naruto said he was a trouble maker, that much is true, but it also said that he had terrible chakra control and he was the worst student in his class. But from what he witnessed Naruto's chakra control was fine, and after what he witnessed when they were reciting the different scales of missions...he could tell Naruto wasn't as...dumb...as he portrayed to be.

Sakura...she still has an anger issue like he had read in her profile, but it seemed more controlled. Also, it said nothing about her having monstrous strength and healing abilities. Plus, it also stated she was obsessed with the Uchiha. He could obviously tell that she was in love with him, not that it was any of his business, but not exactly to the point of obsessing over him.

And Sasuke...his profile said he was a loner and was very much obsessed with avenging his clan. But the Uchiha seemed to enjoy the company of his teammates...and he didn't seem as if he was obsessed with revenge. Heck, Kakashi didn't even think that Sasuke thought about it that often. When he really thought about how they were acting...he realized something was up. Especially when Sasuke said that 'they weren't your average genin'. He planned on getting to the bottom of this.

Now...as for mentioned genin are basically stressing out, Sasuke more so than the other two. He kept looking from side to side. He knew he was being paranoid...but he also knew that Zabuza would show up any second now. He flinched when he heard the sound of metal hitting wood. He looked over to see that Naruto had thrown a shuriken directly above the head of a white rabbit and was currently apologizing to it. But then his eyes narrowed when he got a good look at the creature. It was white, and it was the middle of spring. Around here, rabbits were only white during winter. During spring they were brown. ''Damn. I didn't even notice it the last time.'' He then heard movement behind him before-

''GET DOWN!!'' Sasuke suddenly yelled. He grabbed Sakura around the waist(Basically forgetting about everybody else's protection...) and pulled her down to the ground with him. Kakashi pulled himself, Naruto, and Tazuna down too. Five shuriken soared over their heads. Kakashi looked around until he spotted a figure standing on a branch in a tree. ''Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto! Triangle formation! Protect the bridge builder!'' The three genin followed his orders, surrounding Tazuna in fighting stances.

''Kakashi of the sharingan eye...it's a pleasure.'' the figure said as he jumped to the ground. ''Zabuza Momochi, the 'Demon of the Mist' The pleasure is all mine.'' Kakashi growled out, glaring at him. Zabuza glanced at the younger ninjas then back to Kakashi. ''It's to bad, eh? But you'll have to hand over the old man.'' Kakashi, seeing as this battle was going to get serious, lifted his headband to reveal his sharingan. They then went into a bloodthirsty clone jutsu battle. (You know, when Kakashi hit Zabuza and it was a clone and the Zabuza hit Kakashi and he was also a clone and they kept doing that for a couple of minutes.)

'Shit. We forgot to plan out how we would take care of Zabuza.' Naruto smirked. 'You worry too much Teme! I'm sure we can take care of him.' Sakura's head shot up as she just thought of a plan. 'I've got an idea. If we can manage to weaken him quickly Haku will come in to save him, thus ending the battle for the time being.' Naruto shrugged and Sasuke contemplated the idea. 'Okay...but how will we weaken him quickly? We may be stronger...but it may still take a while.' Sakura was going to reply, however, she didn't get the chance when Zabuza suddenly appeared infront of her.

Zabuza scoffed as he stared at him. ''You call yourselves ninja? When you've slayed-'' ''We don't care!'' Naruto interrupted, not wanting to hear the stupid speech for the second time. Zabuza took out his sword and pointed it at Naruto, the blade almost touching his nose. ''I'd watch your mouth kid.'' He then redirected his blade to Sakura's face. ''You wouldn't want your little pink-haired friend here to-'' he stopped mid-sentence and fell to the ground with Sasuke standing behind, arm still slightly raised from when he struck Zabuza in the back of the neck.

Naruto pouted. ''Well if it was that easy to take him out why is he even considered dangerous!?'' Sakura smiled at Sasuke in thanks. He just looked off to the side. Kakashi stared at Sasuke in shock. ''How did you do that...?'' Sasuke glanced at him before returning his gaze to the side. ''I just walked behind him and hit him in the back of the neck.'' Kakashi's eye twitched at the blunt statement. ''I know that. I want to know how a twelve-year-old rookie genin took out a twenty-six year old, S-class rouge ninja...who used to be in the Anbu.'' Sasuke didn't reply. Kakashi looked in Sakura and Naruto's direction. In turn they turned around and walked away from him, whistling nervously.

Then out of nowhere a person wearing a white and red mask landed next to Zabuza's body. The genin gave each other knowing glances. ''Excuse me, are you an Anbu from the mist?'' Sakura asked. The boy looked at her and replied, ''Yes. We've been tracking Zabuza for years. Now, if you will excuse me...I must dispose of him.'' With that, they disappeared.

Tazuna decided to speak up, ''I think we should hurry to my home before my family starts getting worried.'' Kakashi sighed, ''Alright, we don't want to run into anymore trouble.''

'You have no idea...'

(Wow! That battle sure ended fast...)

-

Just when Tazuna was about to open his door it was suddenly thrown open by a young black-haired women. ''Father!'' She shouted as she jumped to give him a hug. Team seven sweatdropped. After a few seconds the women let go of Tazuna and finally noticed the four ninja's standing behind him. ''Oh hello! My name is Tsunami! Thank you for escorting back home!'' Kakashi smiled under his mask. ''It was no problem, really.'' Tsunami thanked them again before ushering them into the house. ''You all can make yourselves at home while I get started on dinner.'' With that, Tsunami left and walked into the kitchen.

Team seven set their bags down on the living room floor as the male members started conversing. Sakura, on the other hand, was distracted. She felt like somebody was staring at her, she turned around and saw Inari glaring at her as if she were the devil. She realized that the last time she was here she really didn't make any type of bond with the young boy. She would just have to changed that. She walked over to him and crouched down so she could be at eye-level with him.

''Hello! My name's Sakura. May I ask what yours is?'' He kept glaring at her before he mumbled, ''Inari...'' Sakura flashed him a sweet smile, but he just looked at her as if she was crazy. What was there to smile about? Especially in this village. Their ten-second conversation was interrupted, however, by Kakashi's voice. ''Sakura. Naruto. Sasuke. Come with me, I want to teach you a new skill. The three of them complied and followed him out of the house and into the woods.

''Alright, I'm going to teach you about chakra control.'' The three of them inwardly groaned, they already knew about chakra control! ''Alright so (blah blah blah explaining blah blah blah) climbing trees but without using your hands. Any questions?'' Naruto was staring off into space, drooling a little. Sakura and Sasuke were leaning against each other, trying not to fall asleep. Kakashi sweatdropped at this. ''Did you three listen to anything I said?'' They snapped back to attention and nodded. Kakashi raised an eyebrow. ''The last part where you told us to climb the trees without our hands.'' Sakura replied, trying to stifle a yawn. ''Well I'm not going to repeat it, so lets see how you three do without the information I tried to give you. You might want to try it with a running start.''

''I'll race you up the tree, Teme!'' Sasuke smirked. ''Your on.'' They looked at Sakura, she already knew what they were implying. Kakashi looked at them in confusion. Did they really think it would be that easy? ''Oh alright.'' Sakura replied, taking out a white cloth she carried with her for just such occasion. This only confused Kakashi more. Sakura raised the piece of fabric in the air and yelled, ''On your mark, get set-'' she dropped the cloth, ''GO!!!'' Sasuke and Naruto raced up the tree with ease as if they've done this for years. (Which they have...) Sakura soon followed, but she walked up the tree instead. After a few moments they jumped back down. ''I did too beat you, Teme!'' ''Hn. You could never beat me, dobe.'' ''You guys, I saw it. It was a tie.''

Kakashi watched them bicker about the stupid race. Not even realizing they mastered the skill in less than a minute. Was it just him...or were his students always surprising him?

''We're not your average genin.''

Sasuke's statement was still ringing in his mind. If they weren't average then what were they? He wanted answers and he wanted them now. ''How did you do that?'' The genin stopped their arguing to look at the jonin. ''Well, we used chakra flow in our feet and then we climbed up.'' Sasuke just seemed to loooove giving blunt answers. Kakashi's eye twitched in annoyance. ''Yes I know, but somethings up with you three. You have skills of that of chunin-'' 'Hey! We are much better than chunin!' ''Sometimes you act older than you really are while other times you act immature. I want to know why.'' Sasuke and Naruto shared nervous glances. They looked over to Sakura for ideas but saw that she had disappeared from the spot she was standing in. Kakashi then fell to the ground with his eyes wide open with Sakura standing beside him.

''What did you do to him!?'' Sakura looked at them sheepishly. ''Well...I sorta panicked and put him under a genjutsu.'' The boys shrugged their shoulders as they sat down in a circle to assess the situation. Naruto was the first to speak up. ''So...should we tell him?'' Sakura shook her head. ''He probably won't believe us and think we're enemy ninja in disguise.'' ''But it wouldn't hurt to try! If he doesn't believe us we could just knock him out and erase his memory or something!'' That comment started a short argument between the two. Unaware of how the Uchiha's mood seemed to change to that of depression.

''I don't think we should tell him...at least not yet....'' Sasuke mumbled, interrupting their argument. Sakura and Naruto gave him a look of concern when they noticed the air around him. ''How come, Teme?'' Sasuke hesitated before answering, which didn't go unnoticed by the other two. ''If we tell him...we'll have to tell him how we got here. Which we don't know.'' Sakura and Naruto stared at him in confusion. ''So? We'll just tell him as much as possible! No big deal!'' Sasuke only seemed to get more depressed by the statement. ''What's the matter Sasuke-kun? Why are you so worried?'' Sasuke sighed in frustration before answering, ''If we tell him...we're going to have to explain everything. Like why we were fighting.''

Naruto and Sakura didn't get it. So what? They were fighting to bring Sasuke back....Then it dawned on them. If they told Kakashi they were fighting to get Sasuke back. He would ask why and they would have to explain how Sasuke left the village, which wasn't an easy topic for them to discuss...especially for Sasuke.

Sakura had made her decision. ''Then we won't tell him until we're ready!'' Naruto smiled and nodded in agreement. Sasuke looked at the ground but agreed as well. ''Okay, now that that's settled, what are we going to tell him when I release the jutsu?'' Nobody said anything. Sakura sighed in disappointment. ''Seriously, why do I even bother...'' ''Because you love us!'' Naruto replied, Sakura just rolled her eyes. ''But really guys, we have to tell him something.'' Naruto contemplated this for a second and replied, ''Why don't we just take him back to Tazuna's house and tell him he fainted. If he asks us those questions again me and Sasuke can just say it's puberty and you can say that your on your period.'' Sakura and Sasuke scowled at the idea. ''I'm not going to tell him that! That's embarrassing!'' Naruto smirked, ''And that's why he won't ask anymore for a while!'' Sakura faltered. ''B-but, couldn't you come up with something else?'' Naruto shook his head. ''In retrospect...it is a good plan...'' Sasuke muttered. Sakura sighed in defeat.

They picked up Kakashi's body (which was heavy...just say'n) and started back to Tazuna's house.

-

They were now staring at Kakashi's figure lying in the middle of the living room on a futon debating on if they should wake him up now. Naruto was starting to get freaked out since Kakashi's eye's were still open. ''Can we please wake him up now? He's scaring the crap out of me!'' Sasuke shrugged. Sakura performed the appropriate seals and muttered, ''Kai...'' Kakashi gasped and sat up, startling them. ''Are you alright Kakashi-sensei!? You just suddenly passed out in the forest!'' Sakura asked, with fake worry in her voice. Sasuke and Naruto silently praised her on how good her acting was.

Kakashi looked around and realized he was back at Tazuna's house. He then turned back to them. ''I didn't pass out. Someone put me under a genjutsu. But I don't know who it was.'' Relief filled their bodies...that is, until they heard Kakashi's next statement. ''But don't think I forgot about our previous conversation.''

Sasuke and Naruto muttered something but Kakashi didn't hear it. ''I'm sorry, what was that?'' ''Puberty.'' they muttered louder so he could here. Both boys were a little red in the face. Kakashi stared at them for a few seconds before he broke out into a grin. Sakura, who was hoping to be forgotten, looked crestfallen when Kakashi looked at her for her explanation. ''I'm...on my...'Damn you Naruto!'...period'' Kakashi raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then smiled. ''Oh Sakura...your a WOMEN now!'' Naruto burst out laughing and Sasuke smirked at the comment. Sakura was so red it wasn't funny.

...Okay, it kinda was! xD

At least he wasn't suspicious anymore...for now anyway.

IMPORTANT!!: For those who didn't read the top, I wanted to ask if when your done with this chapter can you go to my profile and vote on the poll about if Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto should tell Kakashi that they're from the future. 'Cause...I seriously have no idea!!! xD Please and thankyou!
