Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Valley of End ❯ Forget me not ( Chapter 9 )

Chapter 9-Forget-me-not

 

Kakashi looked down at the dead Akatsuki and Sound ninja, with pure hatred. There was blood everywhere. Kakashi fell to one knee, and leaned his head on his blood-covered hand. He looked over at Naruto with a sad look in his eye. Naruto looked back at him with a mix of emotions; he was amazed at Kakashi's strength, but at the same time, he was terrified of it.

“Hinata how's Naruto?” Kakashi asked.

“Um, N-Naruto's, well, I don't know Master Kakashi.” Hinata looked down at Naruto.

“Well, let's try to get him out of here without getting caught.” Kakashi stood up and walked over to Naruto.

“Your in no condition to walk. Here, grab on.” Kakashi had bent down with his back facing Naruto. Naruto looked hesitantly at Kakashi, but then decided that he must have been a good guy. After Naruto climbed on Kakashi's back, four of them started walking out the door. When they were half way down the hallway, Kakashi stopped everyone.

“Hinata, I think that there are people nearby.” Hinata didn't need to think twice. Immediately she activated her byakugan and started scanning all around her.

“Yes, there are five figures coming our way.” Hinata informed everyone. Kakashi nodded to her and pulled out his kunai.

“Hinata, Sasuke get ready.” Kakashi said.

The sound of running was getting louder and louder.

“I doubt that it is our ninja. If it was there would be six different people.” Kakashi said.

“They are now coming down the hallway right around the corner.” Hinata said.

“Okay, we're going to surprise them. Right when they come around the corner, start attacking.” Kakashi said.

“Okay.” Hinata and Sasuke both replied.

Kakashi quickly set a very confused looking Naruto on the floor a few feet away from where they were going to fight.

The sound of footsteps was right around the corner.

“On my signal,” Kakashi whispered, “NOW!” Kakashi, Hinata, and Sasuke started lunging at the people coming toward them.

“HEY STOP!!!”

Kakashi and his team luckily noticed, just in time, that the people following them were their allies. Kakashi and Hinata looked over to where the shout had come from. It was yelled by the person that Sasuke had been attacking, Shikamaru. And Sasuke had his kunai a hair away from Shikamaru's throat.

“What's your dang problem!?” Shikamaru half yelled.

“Oh, (sigh) it's you guys. We thought that you were the enemy.” Sasuke said.

“Hey, where's Jiraiya-sama?” Kakashi asked them.

“He's in an intense battle with the snake guy Orochimaru.” Kiba said with a smile on his face. Before Kakashi could respond, Sakura started pushing people out of the way while she made her way over to Kakashi.

“Where's Naruto.” Sakura demanded.

“Look, Sakura, before you guys see Naruto, there's something that you should know.” Kakashi said.

“Well, what is it?” Neji asked him.

“Well, Naruto sort of lost his mem…” but before Kakashi could finish, Sakura noticed Naruto and pushed him away and ran over to boy that was sitting a few feet away.

“Naruto! We've finally found you!” Sakura's enthusiasm was cut short when she noticed the condition that he was in, and the expression on his face saying: why is some random stranger talking to me.

“Naruto, why are you looking at me like that?” Sakura asked with a troubled look on her face.

“Sakura,” Sasuke said, “as Kakashi-sensei was about to say, Naruto lost his memory.”

“What? That's silly. Of course Naruto knows who we are. I mean we're his teammates, and his…best friends! And if he did loose his memory, how can you say it so calmly!?”

“Sakura, Naruto really did lose his memory.” Hinata whispered. But in return, Sakura gave her the dirtiest look that she could make.

“NO HE'S NOT!!! Naruto did not lose his memory! You guys are just making things up!” Sakura yelled.

“Sakura, take it easy.” Kiba told her, and Akamaru barked in agreement.

“NO. I won't take it easy.” Sakura walked over to Naruto.

“Naruto, tell them. Tell them everything.” Sakura looked at him expectantly.

“T-tell them wha-what?” He said between breaths.

Sakura stepped back in shock. What? This isn't right! We were supposed to come here, save Naruto, and then go back to the way things used to be in Konoha. Besides, how could he forget us?

“Sakura, we have to leave now. But before we do, we should make a plan.” Kakashi said, while everyone started to gather around him.

“Okay, we need to get Naruto out of here safely, help Jiraiya-sama, and get out of here. So, we will all head back to where Jiraiya is, and then I want Hinata and Neji to stand guard. Lee you're the fastest, so I want you to take Naruto. Kiba, I want you to help Lee. Everyone else, we are going to fight if necessary.” Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Okay everyone, lets move!”

“Um…Kakashi-sensei, I think you should see this…” everyone turned around to see what was wrong with Lee was so worried about. It was Naruto. Well actually, where Naruto should have been.
