Sai and Sakura both exclaimed in unison. "Captain Yamato!"
Yamato didn't turn to look at them and with Guy close at his heels, he performed a wood jutsu that encased Naruto in a wooden prison. The fox Naruto growled angrily. Yamato nodded at Guy and Guy quickly ran up to Naruto's side and stuck one of the paper jutsu's Master Jiriya had supplied before he died, onto Naruto's side.
Naruto's chakra died down and his features were back to normal. He collapsed to his knees.
Yamato released the jutsu and turned to look at Madara. "What are you doing here." He hissed.
Madara laughed. "To see the outcome of my friend's experiment since he wasn't here to see it." He gestured to the lifeless Kakashi. Guy and Yamato had only just noticed Kakashi and widened their eyes in alarm.
"Kakashi?" Guy sprinted over to his 'rival'. "Kakashi are you awake!? Stay with us!" He could feel himself tearing up because he felt no pulse.
"Guy?" Yamato looked at Guy urgently. Guy shook his head, his lip trembling. Yamato squeezed his eyes shut in an attempt to block any emotions that came his way. He had been part of the ANBU so he knew how to keep them back.
He looked at Naruto and spotted a few tears fall to the ground. Yamato let out a shaky breath trying to ignore Guy's and Sakura's sobs.
"Why did you do this? Killing one of the Leaf's strongest ninja... Wasn't declaring war enough?!" He shouted.
"Thats all you care about is it? that he was one of the Leaf's strongest ninja? And I thought you Leaf people were all emotional idiots." Madara waved him off. Naruto clenched his fists as more tears spilled from his eyes. "YOU... You bastard!"
"And for your information, Yamato, it was my old friend who did this. But they were killed by Kakashi before they could see their finished experiment."
"... Who is your 'friend'? a member of the Akatsuki?" Yamato asked stupidly.
"Well of course not- the Akatsuki are all dead anyway. No this was long, long ago."
Yamato sighed irritably. "How long ago!?"
"Well, now that would be telling." Madara tapped his mask. "The scum's not dead yet." He added. "It will take a couple of days, weeks maybe. Thats what my old friend's estimate was anyway. To make the game more interesting I'll tell you the truth..." He looked at Naruto's hunched figure then at Kakashi's lifeless one. "There's a way to stop him from dying."
Naruto and Sakura immediately looked up at him. "Though someone would have to be sacrificed. One special person, they call 'The Sharingan Monster." Madara said. "If you can kill it- them- over the month then Kakashi might live."
"What do you mean 'might'!?" Naruto shouted.
"Well he may only live for a couple more days or maybe even hours. So use your time wisely." And with that Madara twisted away into nothing. Everyone was silent until Naruto's crazed shouts broke it.
"He thinks this is just a GAME!?" He punched the ground weakly. Yamato ran over to Kakashi.
"I'm so sorry Kakashi senpai." He looked down and squeezed Kakashi's arm. "I'm so sorry."
Naruto followed them over and fell to his knee's beside Sakura.
"W-what are we gonna do?" She asked hoarsely.
"Out of everyone, why you, Kakashi?" Guy whispered, gritting his teeth. Naruto looked at Guy, then at Sakura then at his own hands.
"We're gonna save Kakashi sensei." Naruto said.
"Naruto..." Yamato looked over at Naruto with a sad expression. "We can't find a- maybe- innocent person with the Sharingan and kill them. Or anyone for that matter. Kakashi would have hated that... He's gone, Naruto."
Naruto clenched his fists and shouted, "Stop talking like he 'was' and he 'would've'! Kakashi sensei is still alive and we have a chance to save him. There's no way I'm going to let him die like this!"
"Naruto..." Sakura said. Guy looked up and wiped his cheeks.
"I'm sorry Yamato but I can't leave Kakashi behind like this. Not when he can still survive."
Yamato stared at Kakashi. He had known Kakashi for many years and had- and still did- admired him for his amazing abilities superior to everyone else. He had looked to him as a role model when he was younger and now he was staring at him, dead on the floor. Killed by some experiment planted on him by Madara's comrades. No it wasn't the right way for him to die. Now, his best friend/rival and his students refused to let him die when there was still a chance to revive him. How could Yamato refuse?

Sakura closed her eyes. The only person that had the Sharingan that was left was... No there was Itachi... Wait was there?... But still. Who was this Sharingan Monster? The pain of the death of her sensei and how it was so quick made her want to puke. He was so cold, and he'd stopped breathing. Naruto was obviously blinded by the obvious but refused to accept it, if Master Jiriya had died like this he would've made sure he had saved him. Sakura started to remember the first time Team 7 met, the bell test, Sasuke, Naruto, her sensei, and most of all, how they all formed a perfect team. Unsperable is what she thought they were. Looks like she was wrong. She'd already lost 2.
She hated it when Naruto acted like this, he was so quiet, staring at nothing, refusing the obvious. She clenched her fists and punched the ground.
"Naruto. Kakashi Sensei is dead. We can't do anything about it! Team 7 is only you and me now!" She got up and strode away, her tears shimmering like diamonds. Yamato sighed.
"... I'll go after her. Guy..." He looked at Guy and stopped himself. "Never mind."
When Yamato left only Guy's sniffs could be heard. Naruto let his tears escape, forgetting the Shinobi rules and stared blankly at Kakashi. Memories flooded his mind. Kakashi was one of the first people who took notice of him and his skills. He was his teacher. Naruto used to think about how even WHEN he did become Hokage he'd never stop calling him 'sensei'. It had turned into a habit. Same with the other sensei's. He wanted EVERYONE to see him become Hokage. Everyone he ever loved and cared about... But already, a couple were gone.
Naruto grit his teeth and felt someone touch his shoulder. When he looked round there was no one there. Though, there was a leaf on his shoulder. He picked it off and saw the 3 marks of the Sharingan on it. He looked to Kakashi then at Guy then back at the leaf.
Was this you...? Kakashi sensei?

"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune sprinted through the Hokage office doors. Tsunade shot up and looked at Shizune.
"What!? What's wrong!?" Tsunade shouted. Shizune looked down but continued her sentence.
"Kakashi Hatake is dead..."
There was a horrible silence.
Tsunade clenched her fists and growled. She turned around and punched the window behind her. Of course, it shattered to pieces.
"How could this...? This is just like when Pain..." She squeezed her eyes shut and wiped away a single tear just like she'd done when Pain attacked the town and killed Kakashi once before.
"I don't have all the information yet... But apparently a jutsu had been planted on him for when he killed one of Madara's 'comrades.' It must've been activated while Team Kakashi were out on their latest mission." Shizune put her little pet pig down. "Naruto and Sakura are back... If you want to speak to them..."
Tsunade looked firmly at her assistant. "Yeah. Thanks Shizune."
"... They should be in room 346 of the Hospital ward." Shizune bowed and left the room.

Lady Tsunade made her way over to room 346. She didn't want to see Sakura and Naruto when this had just happened but she'd figured she would have to. She too, felt upset and hoped Naruto wouldn't go on a rampage.
When she opened the door the room was silent. Most of the sensei's were in the room, Yamato was there also. Naruto, Sai and Sakura were sat on chairs beside a bed. Tsunade could see Kakashi's figure covered by the crisp white hospital blankets, the only thing she could see of him was a wisp of silver hair sticking over the top.
She looked to Naruto and Sakura who were stony faced. Sakura looked to Lady Tsunade.
"Oh... Lady Tsunade." She stood in a lifeless way that made Tsunade sigh. Naruto glanced at her but did not make a move. Sai stood as well, bowing loyally.
"I'm sorry to put you through this but I need you 3 to come outside for a moment." She gestured to the door. With a glance at their sensei Sakura and Sai made their way out. Naruto just stared blankly at her.
"Naruto!" She said, pointing to the door. He looked at Kakashi then back at Tsunade. Iruka walked over to him carefully.
"Naruto! Listen to the Hokage!" He didn't want to talk sternly at this of all times but Naruto wasn't going to move unless he was stern.
Suddenly Naruto stormed out. Tsunade sighed. "Thank you, Iruka... I'm sorry about this as well but, Guy and Yamato can you come to my when you have the time today?"
Yamato nodded and Guy nodded slightly. Why has it hit them this hard. She thought. I'd expected them to be like this but there's something not right. There's more to it, there has to be.


Sorry if this wasn't really a surprise, but I wasn't expectin' everyone to be all like woahhhh 0.o But thanks for your support so far! OH and PLOT TWIST! I'm kidding on that isn't really the actual big plot twist, :D heheh. By the way, they didnt just magically teleport back to Konoha, the scene in the hospital is a couple days later.
