Group Kakashi's Mission
Disclaimer: See Chapter 1
'I wonder how Iruka is.' Kakashi thought. 'I feel bad for teaming him up with Orochimaru, but he needs to learn how to work with other Jounins, and it was him that said that he was glad that Orochimaru was back.' The Jounin sighed as he returned 'Icha Icha' to his pouch. Because of his partner, he couldn't even concentrate on reading his book.
"Hey, dobe, doesn't Kakashi seem to be preoccupied?" Sasuke asked the blond as they watched their Jounin sensei's actions.
"Yeah, he does." Naruto said, agreeing with the Uchiha. "Sakura-chan, do you think that it's Iruka that worries Kakashi so much?"
"Of course I do." The pink-haired kunoichi said. She knew that the whole of the team was worried about the Jounin, especially as he rarely worried too much. "His boyfriend is currently with two of the most unpredictable teams, both have at least two missing nins in them. Wouldn't you be worried too?" She answered. "Iruka-sensei maybe good, however he, Yusuke and Hiei have their limits. None of us have really seen Kurama in action, although I have heard Yusuke and Hiei discussing him, or rather I asked about him."
"So tell us what they said, Sakura-chan." Naruto said. "We need to know."
"Well, they said that Kurama was the most intelligent of them, but was one of the weakest, but that was before he got involved with Orochimaru." She said. "It is possible that he has increased more than all of us because he has had a lot of one-on-one training while we have had to share a sensei. Personality wise, Kurama has two completely different personalities. The one that we see most often is almost totally opposite from the other one. The red-head is sweet and kind. The other one is much more difficult for people to get on with. You should know that, Sasuke-kun." Sasuke just nodded. He remembered all too well what the white-haired kitsune was like. "However he seems to be extremely loyal, and if he swears his loyalty, he wouldn't break it unless it stood against something he swore to before, or felt more strongly about. Like Orochimaru. If Orochimaru asked him to jump, he'd ask how high."
"Are you sure?" Sasuke asked.
"Are you blind? Of course he would. You've seen how he is around him. If Orochimaru told him to kill, then I have no doubt that he would do so, and most of all he would do it willingly." Sakura said. "Kurama is obsessed with him, and when someone is like that..." She shrugged. "I was like that with you, Sasuke-kun, the only difference is that he is getting a reward for it."
"I still don't see what Kurama sees in the snake bastard." Naruto said.
"Who knows, but the thing is that he does see something in him. He must overlook the fact that he's probably the oldest lover that Orochimaru has ever had." Sasuke said with a sigh. "I guess not everyone can hate him."
"I don't understand how Kurama could even contemplate lying beside him in bed, not speaking of other things." Naruto said. "Now I have that mental image in my head!"
Kurenai and her team watched the others. "Oi, Hinata, what are they saying?" Kiba asked the Hyuuga, who was blushing. "C'mon Hinata."
"They're... they're talking about Orochimaru-sensei and Shuichi-kun." Hinata said. “About them being in bed.” The last was squeaked out. Although it was obvious that she wasn’t a blushing virgin, she still couldn’t get her mind around two males in a sexual relationship. Kurenai placed her hand on Hinata’s shoulder.
Kurenai smiled. “Our concern is getting our mission done as soon as we can, not on chit-chatter from out allies. You were asked to take second watch at nights because of the Byakugan’s thermal vision, just as Naruto is starting the first watch now. Get some rest.” The Hyuuga nodded as she did just what her Jounin sensei said, turning in for the night, Kiba and Shino following suit. It was then that Kurenai walked over to her Jounin colleague. “Hey.”
“Kurenai.” Kakashi said as he watched Sakura leave for bed.
“Don’t worry, I’m sure that he’s fine.” She said as she sat on the ground. “I believe that Orochimaru is a different person now. We would have noticed things if he was still up to his old tricks.”
“No offence, Kurenai, but Orochimaru can overpower a number of ANBU at once. A Jounin like Iruka would stand no chance against him if he were acting the part of a Konoha ninja.” Kakashi said. “I have no doubt that his… partner has the same strength as he does by now. Look at Mitarashi Anko; she was his last pupil in Konoha before he left. She is more than a little like his old self.” The single eye closed. “I worry about Iruka because I remember what Orochimaru did before.” Kurenai just nodded.
“Get some sleep, Kakashi.” Kurenai said. “You’re no help to anyone if you’re exhausted, and your current priority is your team.” She gave the other Jounin a push towards his bed. “I’ll follow you soon.” She winked when Kakashi turned suddenly. “Off you go.”
Kiba woke the group up early the next morning, leaving the Jounins to last. “Kakashi-sensei, Kurenai-sensei, its dawn.” Kiba said, hearing Akamaru bark in agreement. He looked inside the tent and saw Kurenai lying beside a sleeping Kakashi. “Sorry!” Kiba said, disappearing. A moment later, a horrified scream echoed through the camp.
The group travelled the whole day, and as the sun began to set they reached a village. They soon found an inn and settled down for the night.
They were woken by a horrified scream. “Give me back my baby!” It took only a second for the ninjas to find out where the shout had originated and they found a man and a young woman fighting over a crying baby. The man took one look at them and ran.
“Sasuke, Naruto, Kiba follow him.” Kakashi said and the three Chuunin nodded and did as the group leader asked. Kakashi then turned his attention to the young woman. “Are you okay, miss?” The girl nodded.
“Thank you very much for helping me.” She said, holding the baby as though her rescuers were going to steal him away. "I am so happy that you were here, or else I fear that my baby would have been stolen if you hadn't." Hinata smiled at her.
"My baby was stolen from me recently. I would hate for another mother to lose her child in the same way." The young Hyuuga said. "May I ask your name, please."
"My name is Inabikari Suiren." Surien said as she held the baby lovingly. "My son is named Akira. I am sorry that we woke you from your slumber." She turned to leave before Kakashi caught her arm.
"Please accompany us to the inn, Suiren-san." He said. "I need to check something, and I would prefer that you be there when I do." Surien nodded as she followed the ninjas to the inn. Kakashi unrolled the scroll and looked down the list before looking at Kurenai. "It is as I expected." He said. "I suggest that you go and hire some ninjas as soon as you possibly can. This will not be the last time that your son will be in this position. There is an organisation that we are currently investigating that is after those with Kekkai Genkais. You need to keep yourself safe for a while."
"Thank you for your warning." Surien said. "I shall have my husband send for ninja protection. Is that all, my son really should be in bed, and I would like to know that we are safe in our own home."
"Of course, please let us know if you are having any more problems." Kurenai said.
"Of course. Good night."
Ten minutes later and the boys returned. "How did it go?" Kakashi asked.
"Not good. The guy disappeared." Sasuke said, sounding grumpy. "It was as though he suddenly sprouted wings and flew away."
"Get some sleep, we'll have to give up for tonight." Kakashi said. "We'll ask about the town tomorrow to see if anyone knows anything about the man." with that the group turned into bed.
