Will of Fire (Open)

[Hatake Kakashi]

"Hmm..."

It was a bright and sunny day. Birds chirped happily. The clouds floated gently. The air breezed calmly. People talked to each other. Everything was nice and dandy in Konohagakure. These were peaceful times. This of course meant that missions were slow, and the shinobi of the hidden leaf did not have much to do. Everyone was living a peaceful life right now.

Well that's what was on the outside. On the inside laid a deep hurt. Konoha had suffered attacks and lost a valuable member of their village: Sasuke Uchiha, one of the last two living Uchiha members. Not only him, but the third hokage died in the battle and many were lost. It was a tragic time for the villagers of the Hidden leaf... but that didn't stop them from getting back up.

That was 2 and a half years ago.

Konoha is once again the top village among the Five Great Shinobi Nations, with a new hokage - the fifth hokage Tsunade, and their will of fire burning hard. No tragedy can bring down the village founded by the First Hokage who passed down the Will of Fire into Konoha and it's inhabitants.

Enter Hatake Kakashi.

Two and a half years...
Kakashi had just woken up. His white hair was a bit messy, but nonetheless the same as it always looked. He had on a black pants and a black shirt with, of course, his mask. He was holding on to the official picture of Team 7. His mind was remembering the past... how he failed to save his student, Sasuke Uchiha. He sighed and set the picture down. He knew that time would come soon when he can save his pupil... or atleast help Naruto, another of his pupils save him. Right now he had other responsibilities. He stood up and went to wash his face, secretly of course so as no one can see his face. After his series of mundane acts, he was fresh and dressed in his regular jonin outfit. Exiting his house, he noticed a letter infront of the door. He picked it up and read it. It read:

" Hatake Kakashi, jonin

Please check up on the old students of my academy.

Sincerely,
Iruka Sensei"

Kakashi donned his usual lazy expression and thought to himself. Why am I getting stuck with this? But I might as well go see how the young ones are growing up, especially Naruto. Kakashi folded the letter and inserted it into his pouch and he set out. He walked through the streets of Konoha, looking at all the happy villagers of these peaceful times, wondering how long this will last. He could sense a danger coming soon and he hoped the village will pull through. He had trained himself greatly in these past two and a half years... training to beat the Akatsuki. He set those dark thoughts aside for now and kept walking, hoping he'd encounter someone on the way.

A young shinobi of the old team seven seemed to be busy that morning. She was busy a lot lately. Mostly due to taking on a apprenticeship under on of the greatest shinobi throughout the village. After all, she was the student of the legendary Sanin, Tsunade. The particular shinobi, being Haruno Sakura. She, much like her comrades had been training their hearts out over the past two and a half years. Such thoughts bringing up colorful memories of the past and of things good and bad. She missed the old team that they had had back in those days. Team 7. The title was always something most people tried to keep off topic. It was no unknown fact that one of their own had left the village hidden in the leaves. The one person, being the very person that Sakura had cared so much for, to the point of saying the three most precious words in the world. Emerald green eyes flickered a bit at such thoughts. Sasuke.. the girl thought in her mind. Her mood always seemed to dampen when she thought of him. She still blamed herself for everything that had happened so far, especially with naruto getting hurt. She had put everything on his shoulders, and it crushed her, because.. she knew he was the only one that could do something. Or, at least back then. She had trained hard, under tsunade she had learned a lot. She wasn't going to be useless anymore. She had told herself these lines over and over again. It was really her push to train as hard as she had. She was going to be up to step with both of the this time. She wasn't going to be the one that held them back. Sakura was going to help naruto bring sasuke back this time. It didn't matter what it took to do it. They had to bring him back. There was just.. something about the old team, something that burned in her. Though, most would assess that feeling to be love, it was something deeper beyond relationships. Just the feeling of being together, being whole again as a team. Sakura snapped out of such nostalgia thoughts as she walked through Konoha. She was off at that moment, having nothing to do for Tsunade. The female liked to walk among the streets during this time, and just relax as much as she could. Such free time however, only came about thoughts of the past and of the unknown future. So, the girl wasn't quite sure if the free times were good or bad. Since it held both qualities. This time however, as she wondered the streets, her emerald gaze flicked to the sight of another shinobi that was all to familiar to such thoughts and feelings. Kakashi Hatake, their old sensei and teacher of the old team 7. Sakura slightly wondered if he was out on business, or if he was just taking a leisurely stroll just like she was. If she had been younger, she probably would of accused him of being a lazy excuse for a jounin like she had first thought of him. Now, having gone through so many experiences with the man, she new better. Her hues softened as she thought of such things. Without really thinking about it her direction changed to move towards him and such memories. "Kakashi sensei!" she called as she waved her right hand. She ran quickly hoping to catch up with him before he wandered off to far. She really wanted to talk to him. Just to get that feeling again. Even if it was only for a moment, she wanted to feel whole. Even if she knew deep in her heart, something was still missing....

[Hatake Kakashi]

"Kakashi-sensei!"

That voice... it was too familiar. Kakashi turned around to spot Sakura Haruno, a genin of his team the last he saw her. When the team split, he knew that she had gone under Tsunade's wing. This was the first time he had seen her in a while. He was too busy with missions and she was busy training under the fifth hokage. She had grown up. She seemed taller, and more... womanly. But the most drastic change was in her eyes. She wasn't the old Sakura anymore. She had definitely gotten stronger, not just physically but emotionally. It seemed almost appropriate that the first person he saw was of his own team. His love for his students was great and he wanted to know they were doing alright... after the incident with his other student two and a half years ago. All three of his students split off to going under the three legendary sannin's wings. Sakura to Tsunade, Naruto to Jiraiya, and... Sasuke to Orochimaru. He sighed a little remembering his failure in saving one of his own students.

He quickly cheered up though, seeing Sakura run up to him. He couldn't bring up the past or else it might just hurt her more. He wondered what she was doing out here though. Maybe she was done with Tsunade's training and work for today. He was glad to have her company, however. It was always nice to see an old face and he was instructed to check up on the old genin. Sakura was a chuunin now. He wanted to see how much she had grown up with his own eyes... eye. Kakashi lifted up his right hand in a greeting manner. His expression was his regular face, showing none of the depressive events that have happened.

"Yo."

The chunin female was happy when the other male seemed to respond. She could recall several times when the older male had been able to ignore others talking. Though that was mostly when he had one of his books in front of him. He just seemed to get lost in those words. The female sometimes wondered exactly what was within the contents of that book. Some days prior she had contemplated trying to find out, but things had just come up one after the other. She just didn't have time anymore, and she had rarely seen the other jounin at all. It was a nice feeling to see him again. She kept the smile present on her face as he stopped for her. That made it easier, and she quickly picked up her pace and caught up to him. She couldn't help but feel happy. Even with such dark and sad thoughts previously. Such things seemed gone now, replaced by happy memories upon seeing the jounin once more. She let her gloved right hand fall back beside her. She smiled as she came up beside her old teacher. He seemed to respond the same way as he had all those years ago. One hand raised and that yo. She couldn't help but feel herself ease around him. She relaxed and felt the smile only brighten on her face. "Its been a long time Kakashi sensei." she said with a bright face. Well, that wasn't a lie, but it wasn't really a way to start a conversation. Especially if both of them were to avoid a certain topic. She seemed to fluster a bit at the thought. " Guess that would be obvious.. though.. We have both been busy. " she said. Well, wasn't that intelligent. The first time she had seen her sensei in forever and she gets clumsy. She couldn't help but sigh a bit. She just, didn't know what to say, so much had happened and yet most of it was a topic that couldn't be discussed. She seemed a bit flustered again with what to say exactly. She laughed a bit awkwardly. "I was excited to come talk to you, and now I'm not sure what to say." she admitted. Hopefully it wouldn't be like this with anyone else. Especially with Naruto. She hadn't seen the other.. in a long time, she only hoped he had grown up a bit. She couldn't help but sigh and keep in a moan thinking about him. She didn't know what she would do if he was the same. She pulled herself once more from her thoughts and back to the Jounin that stood in front of her. She could only hope that he had a better way to start this conversation.[/style] [STYLE=background-color:f2f2f2; padding: 10px; height: 60px; overflow: auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 10px; -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius:3em; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 3em; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius:3em; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 3em;] WORDS ♥ DIDNT COUNT !

"It's been a long time Kakashi Sensei"

The young chuunin was standing in front of Kakashi now with a bright smile on her face. However the smile didn't last long as she flustered on what to say next. That was reasonable of course. There were few things that could be talked about without bringing the past and he saw her flustering for the right words. Until she finally admitted she had nothing. Kakashi showed a happy face to reassure her before placing his hand on her head for a second and then pulling it back to his side.

"Won't you walk with me?"

It wasn't much of a question though. He turned and started to walk again, through the streets of konoha, but walking slower this time, expecting Sakura to follow him either way. He was surprised at her growth, but also knew she harbored those dark memories of team 7. But she couldn't hold them forever. Kakashi sensed that their adventures will pick up again and it will eventually lead them back to Sasuke. He pushed the notion aside though.

"I was given a special mission from Iruka to check up on your graduating class. I'm glad the first one I met was of my own team," he gave a reassuring smile to her... well it looked like he did. It was hard to tell with his mask over his lower part of the face. "How has your training been with Tsunade? Maybe someday soon I'll see the fruits of your labor."

He picked up his pace a little. She might have been trained by Tsunade for the past two years but Kakashi was still her sensei. So picking up the pace will give them a little more exercise. Steady steps of course.

That way, she had less of a chance to do it to someone else. Most likely someone that would affect her more than just her old sensei. It was no secret that she felt embarrassed for the way she had completely lost whatever thought of a conversation she had in her mind on the way over to her sensei. Which in turn caused the bright smile on her face to plummet a bit. Conversation or not, she was still happy to see him. She was almost reminded of the old times they had had together as his hand found itself touch the top of hers were her headband rested. His words, though simple, reassured her and she found herself smiling again. She instantly responded to them falling in line beside the Jounin teacher. She picked up his pace as she walked with him through Konoha. Sakura couldn't help but let her eyes wander over the village. The place was her home and there were so many people here that she cared about. But one, no matter how much she tried to deny herself, was missing from its streets. Her eyes flickered for a moment at the thought of him but quickly regained her composure. It wasn't the time to think of such things.. Sakura once again looked at the male ninja as he spoke once again. Perfect. This meant she could keep her mind off of the person that had been there only moments before. She tuned in to his speech however and found herself wondering why Iruka would want that. Sure, the man had taught them in the academy, but he could probably come find them himself couldn't he? She didn't let the thought prosper in her mind any longer and simply smiled back at the Jounin. "Well, I am glad that it was me then, Kakashi-sensei." she said with a bright cheery tone. She really didn't want to give away anything to the teacher after all. Though, if anyone knew what she was going through, he would, but even more so than him... naruto would be as well. The blonde had gone through just as much as she had. If.. not more. That stupid promise, she had tried to take it back, but Naruto refused of it before he left. Was it really all her fault that he had suffered so much because of her? She smiled at Kakashi's words once again. "Its been really intuitive. I've learned a lot from Lady Tsunade, and really I can't wait to show people what I can do." she said. She stopped for a moment and pulled one of her gloves down tighter with a fist for more emphasis. She couldn't help but smile though. It wouldn't be long before she did in fact. After all, there was no telling when Naruto would come back. She had actually heard of a commotion earlier that day, but had been busy with other things. Who would of known that the genin was all ready back in konoha? She noticed his speed increase a bit and easily picked up the pace. After all, Lady Tsunade had put her through much harder training than this. She could easily keep up with this. "Hey, Kakashi-Sensei. I was wondering if maybe you knew. I heard about a commotion earlier today, but I was busy with Tsunade. Do you know what it was about? " she asked softly looking up at him.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

The village’s roads were bustling and busy with all glee on this pleasant day. Well, it was going as it should day in and day out as usual, but that peace was broken loose. As new lively sounds begun to stir, like the sounds of chickens, loud animals, and a loud voice of a single human, that multiplied, seem to run rampant. The human being stood to be a well-dressed young male with blonde hair, and he may have very different attire of clothing, but it was Naruto all the same. He was just running and running frantically chasing the chickens that to be an importance to him in some way, but he also followed by bulls. Things just didn’t to be Naruto’s good day.

Naruto multiplied himself with use of his technique, to catch the chickens but to almost no avail with the interference the bulls gave off. But, what Naruto didn’t know that there was a certain focus from the color red on his back which looked like paint, and with him multiplied the bulls only recognized more targets to puncture. In Naruto’s desperation and reaction to the situation he would scream on the top of his lungs before he spoke. “AW COME ON! COME BACK NICE CHICKENS!” He said in such of a desperate manner, like he really wanted to get things all fixed up, but before you know it he continued his pleas again. “IT’S NOT FAIR!!!!!!” It was another cry, but it’s just on deaf ears to the beings that live on pure instinct and the will for survival.

Clay pots were smashed, small shopping stands were trampled, buildings were invaded and Naruto hysterically apologizing in his wake as he searches for his chickens as well being pursued. Shortly in this grand the chickens, the battalion of Naruto, and the bulls began separate in their own little paths. But, there was a particular path the original Naruto followed up on a single chicken, that very one would lead to some old friends he hasn’t seen in so long. It may have been three years, but in no way in Naruto’s say, that this is what he had in mind when he was going to greet them.

The single pursuit that Naruto was leading on was to almost a perfect crossing to a certain road. He overheard some chatter of familiar voice, but he paid no mind to it at first, he was just focusing on the squawking bird ahead of him. However, when the noisy bird went pass the crossing point, Naruto followed but he paused in place for some reason. He stopping in a mid-running pose as his eyes was sprung wide open, his lips on his mouth were sucked in and he was just dumbstruck. To what saw were two people, but it wasn’t just anyone, it was Sakura and Kakashi. But to his dismay, in his shock he forgot one critical thing, the bull. That very bull rammed Naruto’s rear end, and oh there was such force behind it. The force made Naruto to give flight and crash face half into a nearby telegraph pole.

To it all it all, it really wasn’t Naruto’s day.

[Hatake Kakashi]

"Hey, Kakashi-Sensei. I was wondering if maybe you knew. I heard about a commotion earlier today, but I was busy with Tsunade. Do you know what it was about?"

[/b]

Kakashi stopped in his tracks, most likely surprising Sakura for a bit. Kakashi didn't say anything for a moment, just looking in front of him. He wondered what to say to her. He knew the answer to her question... and was it an answer alright. She'll be really happy. In fact, with all the commotions he was sure everyone is happy to have that one certain person back. Guess two years without Konoha's number one prankster makes someone really appreciate his presence. He turned around to face the young chuunin and displayed his signature smile... covered by his mask.

"He's ba- !" Before he could finish his sentence the young genin that everyone missed was here. It seemed as if he was chasing a chicken. Kakashi pondered on why but before his pondering could get very far a rampaging bull rushed up and rear-ended Naruto. Kakashi sighed. It was just like Naruto to be like this. Always stirring up trouble... Kakashi had to smile a bit though. It's been a while since he saw his student last. The boy he once tied up to a log had grown into a young adult. Not just his physique but Kakashi could sense his mental state had matured as well.

Kakashi saw the bull pull back, probably readying for another charge. Kakashi used his shadow clone technique to create a single clone and combined the technique with the transformation technique to transform that clone into Naruto. The clone bounced around in front of the bull to catch it's attention and as soon as it achieved that, it ran. The general plan was to have the bull chase the fake Naruto out of the village or until another shinobi took care of the bull. Kakashi waited until the real Naruto stood up and got a hold of his own surroundings before approaching him.

"Yo, Naruto."

A common phrase from a common man... on the outside at least. Not much to say when your pupil that you haven't seen for 2-3 years runs around and gets chased by bulls on his first day back. Or maybe there's a lot to say, but it's best to start off easy. He was sure his companion though, Sakura, would have a lot to say. All in all, it was good to see the young man again after so long. The real adventures would start soon now.

She had been rather busy that morning and had no choice but to stay inside. Sakura liked to be the first to know things, the first with information on her hands. It was a natural thing to her now, being the Hokage's apprentice tended to do those sort of things to you. Especially since it was the hokage after all, she had gotten used to getting information and helping out lady tsunade as much as she possibly could. To be honest with herself, it had been to quiet around konoha. Even though almost three years had passed, it seemed like an emptiness had settled itself over konohagakure. The land of fire and of the village hidden in the leaves, and it saddened her. Though she would never admit such a thing allowed, she missed the boy that normally kept the place moving. She missed his upitty spirits, even though they annoyed the living hell out of her. It.. was just a habit to have it around though. She smiled softly and turned to look at Kakashi as he started to talk before a sound caught her attention. Her green eyes flickered to the side as a ....chicken? She was so confused for a moment before a flash of yellow seemed to bring everything together. There was no way. Could there be a way that this was really happening? Her eyes blinked rapidly for a moment to make sure what she was seeing was not a apparition. No, it was real, and this was the naruto. A happiness she didn't understand seemed to come to her for a moment to see him and it clearly showed in her eyes. "N-Naru-" she had started before it all changed. Suddenly as the blonde stopped staring at them, a bull... seemed to come from behind hitting him hard in the rear end. Suddenly joy at seeing him was replaced with a deep irritation and her eyes dulled a bit before narrowing and twitching a bit. "Naruto..." she growled under her breath. She watched as he hit a poll and fell. That was just like him, had he not changed at all over these years? She had expected some of the old naruto, she hadn't really expected much, but this? Was he really the same genin? Had he not grown at all?! She watched silently as Kakashi went to him, trying to cool her temper some. Naruto still tended to bring out the best of it in her. Finally after he stood the blonde idiot up did Sakura come over. She tried her best to force a smile on her face, her pink hair falling at her sides. She gently pushed a few locks behind her ear. "W-Welcome home, Naruto." she forced out along with her smile. She could only hope he didn't do anything more stupid to ruin this meeting any further.

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Naruto made his presence undoubtedly known by now, not only he had just made a fool of himself twice over by the bull’s impact and bird chase, but he made himself stick onto a wooden pole. However, it wasn’t the first Naruto got himself in a bind such as this, though it always ended the same result back three years ago, yelling and damage dealing. To elaborate even further, the usual suspects were Iruka, Sakura, Sandaime, sometimes calmly with Kakashi, and the list just pours on. It was sometimes amazing on what Naruto can live through, and Naruto being shocked as always amazed for him to tell any tale at all with the numbers of times he angered Sakura. Now, with Sakura being there at the time where Naruto rammed upward, he just hoped he didn’t ruin their meeting and upset her “again”. At least, that was the only thought going through his mind before that smack on the head.

Naruto was dazed and distraught, as he fell backward all the way down to the road itself. You could just see in his eyes he was just out of it for a time, but quickly as a steady rate, he tries to get another grasp on things. He also heard two voices just calling out to him, and that only made him more determined to his grasp on consciousness more. When his eye lids unraveled his deep blue eyes, first thought when he opened them that he was in heaven. As to why on he thought such a thing was the way Sakura looked on over him, and Naruto just expressed that point quite clearly too out loud. “Am I in heaven?” He was honest in his words, when he looked up to Sakura’s emerald eyes, though he would quickly regain his sense of reality once more.

A widen in the eyes and he just realized his mistake very quickly. He laid there in his dirtied up waiter’s suit, just looking up at Sakura peacefully. "I’m back." He said with just a big satisfied and fulfilled smile on his face. Then his face looked upward on the ground a bit, so he could see his teacher fully, and he was kind of relieved that he didn’t change at all. From that point as well, he just had to express his joy. “Heya, Kakashi-Sensei.” He left out a small chucked, but the feeling he’s having right now was still the same.

Little did Naruto know, in the back of his mind there was something he couldn’t seem to recall. But he felt that he forgot something important in this reunion and he just couldn’t figure out what it was. He wasn’t missing anything on his person, or was he?

Konoha's number one prankster was finally back afterall. What could the young genin be up to this time though? He was always getting into trouble. One after another. And Kakashi was sometimes there to witness this. But to think that Naruto would get into some mess just when he got back must be a new record even for him. But it was good to see the boy again. 2 and a half years. Naruto had new clothes, was taller, and he looked a bit more mature but he was the same old Naruto after all. That was good. Naruto's key point was his personality. Not the part he's a prankster, but the boy had something special that made everyone like him. It was good to have the team together again, minus that one person. Kakashi noticed the slight hesitation within Sakura's voice. Had the boy angered her already? It was the same old same old and Kakashi was glad for that. But they were also different for obvious reasons of course. And Kakashi planned to test their maturity and strength. That would have to slightly wait, however. There was another question to be asked though. "Hey Naruto, why were you chasing a chicken and why were you being chased by a bull?" Yeah that was the right question to ask. It was Naruto and there were certainly weird things about him, but even that had to be weird. Kakashi felt like he had forgotten something and then took another look at the young genin, flashes of him from 2 years ago coming back to him. Ah! "Also... What's with the waiter clothes?" [/style]

It was really hard to control herself around him. After this entire time, she had thought about him, a bit more than she would like to admit. The blonde that had left as a child, a few years ago, but now.. from his appearance, she knew he had changed. Even if it was just on the outside, though somewhere within her, she knew it was more than just his appearance and height that had changed. She couldn't help but sigh a bit. She should of expected this kind of behavior from him though. It was a ridiculous thought to think of him as anything but... this. Her eyes flicked over his laying form now, and once again she felt her eyes soften. Even if he was a complete idiot sometimes, she knew deep down she cared for him. She wanted to see him do well with what he did. But, that was deep, deeeeppp down. She wouldn't admit it to anyone after all. There was also another.. that she was wondering about... That was when the blond began to speak. His blue iris' looked up at her. Something was in them, something she had seen often in their previous years, but had never seemed to care about. The care she saw in them, why did it hurt so much. The kunochi closed her eyes in order to avoid that look. She heard his comment about being in heaven but she didn't really respond to such. An odd feet for her, her mind was just concentrated on something else at the moment was all. Her eyes slowly opened again as the blonde genin regained his sensei's and turned his attention to their former sensei. Her emerald gaze found the site of just one of the man's eyes. How long had it been, since they had seen the other eye that lay hidden behind his forehead protector? The thought brought up memories, and she quickly shut them out. It seemed almost as if the female was in a different world of her own. Her eyes seemed almost hidden behind something, though even the female herself didn't know what emotion it was. She tried to pull herself out of such things and looked between the two again. Her eyes didn't linger on the blonde before her for long before moving to Kakashi once more. His words posed a question that she probably would of been wondering herself earlier. But now, what did she really want? She let her eyes move back to Naruto and she wasn't all sure what he would see in them. There were times... that she felt, he did know her more than she knew herself...
