Author's Note: I'm so sorry about falling off the face of the Earth on you guys. I'm not even half-way through the story and can't even update on time! You guys must think I'm terrible D; Well, anyhow, here's chapter two!

Kakashi's POV:

I dropped to my hands and knees, coming face to face with the mask that had just been on Iruka. I felt numb, numb and dumbfounded. "I have a brother?" I thought aloud, looking at the mask as if it would answer me. Mouse walked over to me and knelt down beside me putting a hand on my shoulder, "Sempai, we need to go after Sparrow." Beast was being unusually quiet, but the man did take Anbu missions seriously. I forced myself to focus, 'I have to get to Iruka,' I thought determindly, as I summoned my whole ninken pack. "Pakkun, track Iruka's scent," I commanded. Pakkun ran off the rest of the pack following, all of their noses to the ground. "Beast send one of your messenger turtles to Tsunade, and tell her the new situation and that we are pursuing while we follow the ninken," I commanded, switching to the Hound that was known throughout the nations. Picking up Iruka's mask, I tucked it into one of my pouches, subsequently the one above my heart, and took off following my ninken with Mouse and Beast following close behind.

Iruka's POV:

We landed in a field, the last image in my head was the sight of Kakashi's widened eye, showing just how shook up the man was. I was about to fight back when Karasu put chakra draining cuffs around my wrists. 'Damn it!' I thought angrily. I usually didn't curse at all, but there was no helping it now. Somehow a simple 'dang it' didn't measure up to the situation. Karasu walked in front of me, holding my elbow in case I was stupid enough to think I could escape, and he stood there, watching me. That's when I got a good look at him. He had the body of Mizuki, before he drank that potion, and his hair was parted over his right eye, opposite of the eye that Kakashi had the Sharingan implanted in. Otherwise it was the same, shoulder-length hair however it was the shade of Kakashi's now, not the blue-ish silver it was before. To mock Kakashi he had a mask that came to the bottom of his nose. His purple eyes had a glint to it that I didn't like. Suddenly, he slapped me, which knocked me down because I didn't have enough chakra in my system to balance myself. "Good," he sneered, "that means the cuffs have done their job. Ah~, I can feel you chakra already powering me up." I looked at him from my place on the ground, leaking a small amount into the ground without him noticing, "What do you mean?" I asked. " I mean," he said saying it slowly as if I was stupid," those cuffs take your chakra and feed it to me." I glared at him, while thinking of how bad my face was stinging. He pulled me up roughly, picked me up, and slung me over his back so forcefully that my face slammed into his back, which didn't help the stinging at all, in fact if felt as if he broke my nose. "Oh… so sorry," Karasu drawled sarcastically. With that he jumped on a tree branch and began the journey back to wherever he came from, while I was racking my brains for an escape plan.

Tsunade's POV:
"Tsunade-sama," Shizune said hurriedly. "Yes, Shizune?" I asked, I was getting a headache from all this paperwork. "There's a messanger turtle from Beast. It has 'urgent matter' written on the back. He's currently on a back-up team for Sparrow." She said, the worry clear in her voice. "Hand it here," I said turning from the window immediately. 'If that brat managed to get the chunin in trouble so help me…' I thought. Even though Iruka was an Anbu I still called him a chunin. It was a cute nickname for him. I quickly opened the scroll and read over it's documents.

Beast here,
Hokage-sama, when the back-up team met up with Sparrow he was ambushed. Hound tried to distract him with the Chidori however the attacker put Sparrow in a headlock and kept him hostage in a tree branch above us. He then revealed both of their identities. We have reason to believe he is working with Orochimaru, but is alone for right now. The attacker introduced himself as, the kidnapped at two Karasu Hatake, Hound's unknown brother. Also he admitted to being Mizuki from birth until he was jailed with an unknown jutsu. We are pursuing now with the aid of Hound's ninken. Please send back-up and your orders. However, if I may, I believe it'll be hard to persuade Hound to come back to Konoha without Sparrow. Due to personal matters and his own ninja way. Please choose wisely Hokage-sama, for Sparrow is the last Umino there is in Konoha.

I smashed my desk with my fist angrily. "How can they manage to get into so much trouble in two minutes?" I boomed, scaring poor TonTon out of my lap. I sat back down and pinched the bridge of my nose. 'What to do….' I thought annoyed, upset, and worried. Shizune made the mistake of squeaking out, "If I may, but what has happened? Do you need a squad set up?" I sighed and threw the scroll at her, letting her read it, she knew Iruka was Sparrow anyway, I could care less if it was classified.

Again, I'm so sorry! I'm trying to write as much as I can as of now. So until next time!
