Chapter 5
5 years later….
Kakashi walked with Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke up the mountain edge.
"Where are we going Sensei?" Naruto asked.
"I think it's time that I tell you why I brought you here." Kakashi said.
"What is it that you need to tell us Sensei?" Sakura asked.
"I have heard that a young girl was brought to this mountain and left here. The entrance is sealed. I want to see if it's all true before the Chuinin exams end." Kakashi replied.
"What's her name?" Sasuke asked.
"Her name is Leah Nimokolo or so I heard." Kakashi replied. "She was stabbed with a knife. I think that if we find her then we could pull it out from her then she'll recover."
They arrived at a blocked entrance to a cave.
"We're here." Kakashi said.
"How do we get in?" Naruto asked.
Kakashi used some hand signs and said. "Shadow Clone Jujitsu."
"Oh." Naruto muttered. "I could have done that."
Suddenly a dozen Kakashi's came out of nowhere and destroyed the boulder.
They disappeared soon after that.
Kakashi walked in without another word and Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura followed him in.
They found that there was a young girl with a knife in her stomach.
Her face was completely covered by her hair.
Only her eyelids and mouth was seen.
Dried blood covered her skin and the stone.
"So it's true." Kakashi said. "It wasn't only a legend."
Naruto was just about to remove the hair from her face to get a better view of what she looked like when Kakashi stopped him.
"Don't touch her." Kakashi said. "That might not be a good idea."
It was then that Naruto noticed that there was something in the pocket of her pants.
"What's this?" he asked as he pulled it out.
He gasped as he saw the Sound headband.
"She's from the Sound village." Sasuke said.
Kakashi nodded. "Whatever you may think about her we still have to help her. Even if she is from the Sound village. She might be different from the others."
"So what do we do now Kakashi?" Sakura asked. "How do we help her?"
"We are going to remove the knife from her stomach." Kakashi replied. "Come and help me."
They all placed their hands on the knife and pulled it out.
"Hey look the wound is healing itself." Naruto said.
A second later they couldn't see any evidence that there was any stab wound.
They noticed that after a moment that the dried blood disappeared.
Suddenly the girl slowly woke.
"Hello." Kakashi said.
"What…. Where am I?" she asked. "What happened? Who are you?"
"I am Kakashi and this is Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke. I don't know who did this to you but someone stabbed you with this knife." Kakashi explained as he held it up.
"What do you remember?"
Leah shook her head. "I…. I don't remember much. I know that my name is Leah Nimokolo and that I've been training to become a ninja and that I used to live in the Sound Village."
Kakashi nodded.
Leah then noticed the headband that Naruto was holding and snatched it from his hands.
She looked at it before she put it back into her pocket.
"Gee sorry." Naruto said.
"Would you like to come to the Chuinin exams with us?" Kakashi asked.
Leah nodded.
"Then follow us."
