Konoha…
Village Gate...
When Kakashi saw Sasuke lecturing at Sakura he felt like it was normal.
Because of the last few months of interaction with the Uchiha boy he knew why Sasuke was getting angry at Sakura.
Kakashi knew that Sasuke was training hard and trying to get strong enough to defeat his older brother and ultimately take revenge. After all, he told it the first day they meet and he saw how much Sasuke tries to improve.
Although he wanted to stop Sasuke but thought Sasuke was too young to understand things even if he(k) explains everything to him(Sasuke) he wouldn't understand now.
So, Kakashi decided to explain everything to Sasuke when the right time comes.
After Sasuke shud at Sakura, he wanted to make Sasuke apologize to her or something like that then tells Sakura to be not late in her duty but when was opening his mouth to speak he heard Naruto start talking and thought Naruto will make the right decision and do it for him. So he let Naruto speak instead but the word Naruto said was completely opposite of what he expected to hear from him(N).
"Stop laughing. When you laugh it doesn't make you less ugly. " Naruto said angrily to Sakura when he saw Sakura laughing and thought 'How could you laugh when you are so late? '
After getting an ear full from both of her team meats Sakura got really sad and almost tears came out of her eyes because it is going to be her first time going out of the village. Although she went out of the village with her parents this time it is a completely different case as she will go on a mission with her team with the boy she likes.
So, she was really excited the whole night and couldn't sleep but this morning she went to sleep by mistake and got late because of that.
She apologized immediately after meeting everyone and thought they would understand her mistake and forgive her for being late because of them being at the same team but Sasuke shut at her and what he said meant was they don't need her on the team or he doesn't like her late coming at least she thought he wanted to say something on that line and she could understand that because she knew she got everyone late but still it's not that late.
On the other hand, Naruto told her ugly right on the face just because she was smiling. At least she didn't want him to deal at her too and from the combined impact of their words, it was like a fatal blow for her. So, she couldn't take it and a little bit of water came at the corner of her eyes when she was again getting really prepared to apologize to them again but this time without smiling.
"Enough, you two and Naruto you... " Kakashi said angrily because he saw everything play out in front of his own eyes.
"Sorry, Sakura I didn't mean to say that it's just I don't like people getting late in their line of duty for. " Naruto apologized to Sakura and brought out a handkerchief "Take this and don't cry it doesn't suit you at all and try to smile because it doesn't make you look ugly but beautiful. I got angry earlier because of my habit. Sorry. "
"No, it was my fault of being late and thank you for explaining I will not get let from now on. " Sakura while cleaning her eyes promised with a smile.
When kakashi heard Naruto's reasoning he didn't say anything because he knows how Naruto react when his workers come late in work because of such reasons. He also expressed Naruto's wrath before. That is also another reason for him coming earlier than time if possible.
"Good, now that everyone had arrived I think we should leave. " Kakashi said and everyone started their journey.
============
Nowhere…
Surrounded by trees open road…
It is already Noon and there was little water on the road that they were going, even after notching the water in front of them. Kakashi didn't stop even after knowing its a trap because he wanted to see how his team reacts in real life dangerous.
As the team leader, Kakashi was walking on the front of the group, while Naruto and Sakura were both sides of Tazuna.
While Sasuke was behind the group for any attack that may come from their behind.
When Kakashi passed the water on the road an iron chain came out of the water then bind Kakashi with it in the process of making it impossible for him to move.
While a big sword came flying from the woods or trees that were all around them. When the blade passed through Kakashi it cut him in half.
"Kakashi Sensei!!! " Sakura who was walking beside Naruto shouted when she experienced the sight in front of her and froze on the spot out of fear.
"Sakura move... " Naruto while hugging Sakura jumped and dragged Tazuna at with his right hand to avoid incoming attack towards them.
When Sakura fell on the ground in Naruto's embrace and Tazuna beside them they saw the place they were standing just now got blown away by a paper bomb at least Naruto saw and there came 2 longswords on the place Sakura and Tazuna were standing.
"Are you all right? " Naruto asked them while standing up from the ground.
"Fire Style: Fireball jutsu." before they could reply to him they heard Sasuke shout out from behind them 'Fire Style: Fireball jutsu' then a giant fireball went toward the water on the road.
"Water Style: water wall jutsu. " a masked ninja came out from water and shout out after making hand seals to counter Sasuke's attacks.
When the 2 Jutsu made contact with each other it made a smoke screen in the area.
"Multi shadow clone jutsu." While this was happening Naruto notched the movement surrounding them and made 3 clones to finish it fast.
"Wind style: Great Breakthrough." Kakashi came beside Naruto and used 'Great Breakthrough ' to blow away all the smoke in the area.
"Sensei there are more than 5 enemies surrounding us. " Sasuke said standing beside Kakashi.
"Yes, 5 enemies are in the open while 2 of them are still hiding in the woods," Naruto replied with a low voice while agreeing with Sasuke.
"Yes, I notched that earlier that is also the reason why I decided to come out and help" Kakashi nodded with Sasuke then turned towards Naruto and asked in a low voice" Do you think you can take care of them Naruto? "
"Yes, I am already on it. " with that said 2 of Naruto's clone was gone.
"Sensei you are ok! " Sakura finally coming out of her dazed state asked looking at Kakashi with happiness.
'Man this girl(uselessness) is slow. ' All 3 of them had the same thought.
While they were discussing their next move Tazuna was still shaking on the ground with fear because of them being the surrounded by the enemy who came for him.
"Sasuke, Sakura can you fight one enemy each. " Kakashi asked
"Yes," Sasuke replied confidently with full of fighting intent.
"I think. " Sakura replied with no confidence in her own words.
"Hand over the old man and walk away before we decide to kill you. " One of the enemies said while pointing his ax at Kakashi.
"No can do man he is a client of ours and we must protect him as it's our current mission. So why don't you walk away? " Naruto replied from Kakashi's side with a smile
"You shut up brat. I am talking with your team leader 'Kakashi of the sharingan'. " The fat man with a chain sword said angrily and added "We don't have all day. So leave him to us while you still have the chance."
"Kri's chain demon brothers and some unknown rogue shinobi be careful everyone. Naruto and I will take care of those two and one of the more ninja in the back. You two try to take care of the rest." Kakashi said in a low voice then looked at the fat ninja in front of him and said: "As he said no can do but before we start fighting to leave now before we catch you."
"Then no deal get them." with that the fight began.
Kakashi went for the Ninja with an ax and Naruto went for the one with chain sword brother and his clone went for another unknown ninja.
Sasuke was able to fight at hold enough against his opponent but Sakura after some exchange started to lose.
When Naruto's clone and everyone subdued their opponents without killing them.
Naruto saw Sakura was about to get a fatal blow in the guts by her enemy's longsword but Naruto came from behind the enemy ninja and kicked him at the back then pressed him to the ground.
"Thank you, Naruto for saving me. " Sakura thanked Naruto while getting up from the ground.
"No problem. " Naruto replied without looking at her after helping her get up.
After getting that response Sakura gave a long sigh and flowed behind Naruto.
"Sensei from everything I can say that that two are Chunin level. " After coming back from the woods one of Naruto's clone went to Kakashi and said to him in a low voice.
"Yes, the demon brothers are also Chunin level.
Why are 4 Chunin and 3 Genin attacking him? " Kakashi replied confusedly.
"What are you hiding old man?
why did so many ninjas are after you? " Kakashi asked looking at Tazuna.
