"That's the second person that's called me sensei today. Both ninja's from the Hidden Leaf that I'd never seen before." Kakashi said to Rin. "The other said he's lost you." He turned to Naruto.

"...The other?" Naruto said, not really grasping the situation.

"His name was Lee or something... He was crying. Shinobi don't cry." He frowned. Naruto frowned as well.

"What!?" He exclaimed.

"Your friend was acting stupid! He cried! He broke the rules!" Kakashi exploded. Naruto growled.

"I don't know what's wrong with you but your acting really creepily! And what d'you mean against the rules!?"

"Boys. C'mon now." Rin said nervously behind them. She looked at jerk-Kakashi. "Kakashi why are you talking like that?"

Kakashi swallowed and snapped out of it.

"Oh.. Yeah... Sorry..." He walked past Rin to the stream behind them. Naruto blinked. Wait a minute... The height of Kakashi... The pitch of his voice... His attitude... That wasn't the Kakashi he knew! This Kakashi was 16! And this girl... Must be his comrade!

"I can't believe it..." Naruto said out loud. Rin looked apologetic.

Naruto breathed in and out, trying to tell himself this was just a dream.

"I'm sorry. He bursts out like that a lot." She said glancing back at him with sad eyes.

Naruto blinked. "It's okay... I was being a jerk."

And with lightning speed Kakashi appeared back in front of him. Naruto jumped in surprise.

"Sorry." Kakashi held out his hand. Naruto shook it and nodded. Kakashi just looked away. Rin sighed.

"Kakashi why don't you show Naruto where his friend is?" She implied. Kakashi looked at her then at the ground.

"No thanks." He said. "Not with him." He pointed at Naruto. Naruto glared at him.

"What's wrong with me?" Naruto said.

"Your annoying."

Naruto stopped.

There was a silence. All they could hear was the unsteady wind blowing...

That wasmso much like... Sasuke...

Suddenly the Kakashi in front of him turned into a black haired Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha.

Naruto was to stunned to speak. He shouted and tried to grab Sasuke but he fell back into the river.

Rin had grown pink hair and lost her makeup.

"Sakura!?" Naruto turned to Rin/Sakura. Then his world reeled before him.

He shouted with rage until it stopped and he was in empty space. All there was, was him... And Madara.

"Funny wasn't it?" Madara's deep voice resounded across the 'room'.

Naruto growled. "It was all an illusion!?"

"Yes, simple genjutsu." Madara nodded. "Your friend is under it too. Ever since you left the village you've been under my jutsu. You almost died in fact, but someone saved you."

"Yeah... A girl called Rin-"

"Rin was not the one who saved you. She was but an illusion." Madara bit off Naruto's words.

"Well who did then!?" Naruto shouted.

"If you want to save Kakashi then head North. The place your looking for is near Mount Myƍboku. Once your there turn East and keep going until you reach an assortment of caves. All you have to do is search in every single one of the caves." Madara ignored Naruto's question. "That should be all." And with that he disappeared.

Naruto was back at the stream. Alone.

He fell to his knee's. He wanted to scream with rage but resorted to punching the ground. A few times.

After he let his rage out, he splashed his face with the cool waters of the stream and set off to find Lee.

! ! !

Sai plodded unwillingly to the gates. Sakura saw him and waved innocently.

"Sai! Ready for our mission?" She smiled. He faltered. Mission? Since when were they going on a mission? Oh wait... Was he supposed to lie?

He smiled nervously as looked at the guards innocently. He started sweating uncontrollably.

"Lady Tsunade, assigned us a mission. It's to collect medical herbs not far off from here. She needs them, to... You know... Find out if Kakashi sensei..." Sakura told the guards, looking down. The guards hesitated but nodded and let them through.

Sai and Sakura were a long way away from the village when they heard a rustle in the tree's. Sai pulled out a kunai and Sakura looked at him.

"That's probably just an animal. Calm down, your paranoid."

"No... It's not." Sai said.

"You caught me!" A familiar voice came from the tree's. Lee jumped out.

"Lee! Your alright!" Sakura ran over to him to give him a hug but he just looked at her.

"Who's Lee?" He asked, cocking his head to one side. She stopped.

"Wait, that's..." Sai said in disbelief.

"Guy-sensei!?" They exclaimed in unison.

"Sensei? Well if you want." he flashed a grin at them. "Your from the leaf, huh? You must be new. Wanna be friends!?" He held out his hand. Sai and Sakura were too busy gawking at him to notice his hand so he awkwardly put it back down.

"Suit yourselves." He pouted. "Hey have you seen Kakashi anywhere?"

"K- Kakashi?" Sakura stammered.

"Oh... Well yeah. He'd be 'senpai' to you I guess. But to be honest, he's a jerk." He laughed. "Don't call him senpai next time you see him, yeah that should be funny. Mr. Superior being treated like he's not as youthful as he really is." He laughed again. Sai and Sakura blinked.

Suddenly 3 kunai's were thrown at the trio. They all naturally got into their defense positions and looked around for the enemy.

"They could be anywhere." Guy whispered. "Keep your guard up."

Sakura doubted she'd be able to concentrate, Madara was doing something. Something evil.

"GUY!" Another familiar voice came from the trees. Kakashi.

Sakura took a sharp intake of breath. Kakashi dropped from the tree's, he was the same age as her. So was Guy.

She felt her heart beat fast, like a drum. She guessed Kakashi was kinda good looking... When he was younger.

She mentally slapped herself. Sakura what're you doing, ew gross! He's your sensei!

She opened her mouth to speak but he appeared in front of her with lighting speed, with a kunai to her throat.

"Kakashi!" Guy exclaimed.

"Don't call me sensei." Kakashi said to a shocked Sai and Sakura. "I don't know who you are. But your sure not from the leaf village." He let go of her.

"... I... I..." Her lip trembled but she but her tears back.

"I met two of your friends." He said.

Lee and Naruto! He pushed Guy back with one hand.

"We're going." He said, boring into Sakura's eyes. She died a little inside as they both left. She fell to her knee's.

What's going on!?

! ! !

Kakashi sat up, awake once again in this white room. He didn't sit up as his head was pounding and his yes were blurry.

He didn't know what it was. If he was dead or not or even inbetween. But what he did know was that he could communicate with living people, and that alone gave him hope.

"Kakashi." He heard a familiar voice and turned to see The White Fang standing over him. He froze and felt his eyes close again.

What was that!?

When he opened them his father was gone. He sighed and slowly got up to see a vision through the hole he'd created.

Naruto was talking to Lady Tsunade... About him? He jumped in to hear more.

Naruto was telling Lady Tsunade that he WOULD save Kakashi. Kakashi's heart clenched at seeing the hurt in Naruto's eyes.

Kakashi looked down and found another leaf in his hand. It had Naruto's sealing sign on it, then his mark of the Sharingan.

So these leafs are generated from my thoughts?

Once Naruto had stormed away, Kakashi poked her on the back of her head (most to his satisfaction, annoying the woman who put him on all those endless S-class missions.) and let the leaf drift into her hand.

"... Kakashi...?" She turned round and looked up in front of her. It looked like she was actually looking at him but he knew she was just looking through him.

"... How did you..." She frowned. "What are you planning?" She backed off and put the leaf in her pocket.

Good! So she understood. Kakashi smiled and blanked out.


So finally you find out! Now first I gotta talk to you anons review on my story. :)

Ok well the thing is, now on fanfiction you can choose 4 main characters in the filters. That's just what I did, I included- in this order- Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi and Sai. But I didn't know that on the description it would only show 2 characters and the first 2 characters were automatically shown. So I didn't do it on purpose to annoy all you NaruSaku fans, I didnt know. And I don't really care about pairings, so - with all due respect- Calm your tits! XD
Anyway to people who actually read this, here's tha next chapter! Sorry about that ^ I'm just clearing things up.
