Chapter 26: "This generation is certainly much more... youthful"
This is it, the day we all try our darnest to kidnap our own Jounin Sensei. Team Seven against The Copy Cat Ninja Kakashi, Team Eight against the Genjutsu Mistress of Konoha (Yes I made that one up), and Team Ten against the Demigod of Shinobi (Get it? Cuz Hiruzen is the God of Shinobi?).
Ahem, sorry, back to business...
Shikamaru predicts that the hardest part will be capturing Kakashi Hatake. Being the most proficient in all Shinobi field and one of the most Powerful Jounin in Konoha, Kakashi will put up quite a fight. Unlike Kurenai and Asuma who only specialize in one field.
Soon, I can feel Kakashi walking towards the training ground. "Okay guys! Act Natural!!" I exclaimed. Naruto, Sasuke, and Haku huddled up together on top of a shadow clone sofa with a bored look on their faces.
Kakashi walked towards them with a sheepish eye-smile on his face. "Sorry for being late, you see, I was helping an old lady cross the street but then we got lost in the road of life." He told them.
Naruto smirked and looked at Sasuke. The Uchiha scowled a little and handed him some coins. "Told you, he doesn't do black cats on Monday." Naruto said before pocketing the precious ryo. "So, what will we do today Sensei?"
The Jounin looked at them for a moment. "Well..." He took out two bells out of his pocket. "You know the drill, come at me with the intent to kill. I need to see how the three of you work together." He said with a confident look on his face.
Sasuke smirked and Naruto transformed into a Jacket. "Huh? Interesting..." Kakashi muttered after seeing their tactics. "Perhaps this time I should stop holding back." He lifted up his headband, revealing his Sharingan. "On your mark, get set..." The Jounin took out a Kunai. "GO!"
Haku made a hand seal and created a bunch of ice mirrors in random location all over the place. Then, Sasuke disappeared in a blur of orange before reappearing behind Kakashi. 'CLANG' The Jounin easily kept up with his attack.
"Body Flicker?" Kakashi said while throwing a barrage of punches and kicks at the genin. He ducked down under a punch and sent a roundhouse kick at the boys. Sasuke caught the kick with both hands and Kakashi quickly substituted away. "Chakra Enhanced Muscle..."
Then the Jounin swiftly threw a round of kunai at a mirror nearby, almost hitting Haku who was about to appear from it. Then he watched in slight amazement when Sasuke created a dozen clones and have them all stood in random location around the Training Ground.
Kakashi looked at them all with keen eyes before disappearing from existence. One by one, a clone explode into smoke until there is only one Sasuke left standing in the middle of the training ground. He threw a Kunai and Sasuke disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Then, a Demon Wind Shuriken shot out from every mirror in the area. Kakashi jumped into the air, but a mirror that faces to the sky managed to shot him midair. But before the giant shuriken can hit him, Kakashi substituted away back to the ground.
Suddenly, Haku came soaring out of the mirror towards Kakashi. But the Jounin jumped away to the middle of the training ground. Haku kept pressing on, taking on Kakashi in a Taijutsu match in the middle of the training ground.
Then, Kakashi managed to land a hit on Haku, only to have her disappearing in a cloud of smoke. His eyes widened when he realized that all mirrors are now facing him. He quickly looked around him to assess his situation.
Hundreds of ice needles shot out from the mirrors and straight towards Kakashi. But the Jounin didn't waver, he made a hand sign and build up some chakra. "Water Style: Water Wall!!" A huge vortex of water appeared all around him and shielded him from all incoming projectiles.
After a few minutes, the water vortex dies down and Kakashi is nowhere to be seen. Haku jumped off her mirror to the middle of the training ground and looked around. A hand suddenly burst out of the ground and pulled her down into the ground.
Suddenly, Haku smirked at Kakashi before showing five explosive tags all over her body. The Jounin's eyes widened but before he can do anything. 'KA BOOM' a huge explosion shook through the training ground.
When the explosion dies down, Kakashi could be seen lying down on the training ground out of breath. The real Haku, Naruto, and Sasuke walked up towards him with the chakra suppressing seal in their hands.
"When I told you to come at me with the intent to kill... I did not mean it to the point of suicide clone..." Kakashi muttered in exhaustion. "But I suppose that was just a concussion explosive tag, it's..." He groaned a little. "Designed to disable opponent without harming them too much... Where did you get that?"
Naruto grinned and show him the seal. "Sakura chan made it! She's awesome, believe it!" He exclaimed before applying chakra suppression and paralyzing seal on Kakashi. "Now, we're going to kidnap you Sensei!"
Kakashi's eyes widened after hearing that part. "You what?!" He struggled to move, but the seal made him unable to feel his body. "What are you doing Naruto! Let me go!" He exclaimed.
Sasuke took out a rope and walked towards him. "Don't worry Sensei, we're doing this for the good of Konoha." He said while tying him up with the rope. "I promise you will thank us later."
[LINE BREAK]
When we get to the Hokage Monument, we saw Asuma and Kurenai already tied up by the rest of the Rookie Nine. They looked at Kakashi in disbelief for a moment before sighing in defeat. "They got you too huh Kakashi?" Asuma commented.
Kakashi nodded. "Well... This generation is certainly much more... youthful than usual." He said.
I can see Asuma and Kurenai hiding a smirk the second he said that. "I can see that." Kurenai commented before looking at her genin. "I haven't seen you all being so fierce. What motivates you to do all this anyway?"
"It was me." A voice appeared behind them. The tied up Jounin looked back and saw Sakura walking towards them from behind. "Hello, you might not know me, my name is Sakura Haruno." She said with a little smile on her face.
Kurenai smiled back at her. "Hello Sakura san, aren't you one of the greatest medic nin from the hospital?" She asked her. "What business do you have with the Shinobi?"
Sakura took out her flashlight. "First of all, I prefer to be called a doctor not a medic. Second of all, I am doing this to..." She stopped in her tracks and looked at the village in alert. "Haios, is it me, or something is coming towards us?"
I stretched out my sense and I could feel a humanoid figure coming towards us in a blinding speed. From a distance away I can see a green streak flying towards us like a bullet. "Sakura, Time Seal, NOW!!!" I yelled out.
Sakura quickly turned on the seal when the figure was a meter away from the monument. It was then that I realized that this is a man wearing bright green spandex with bowl cut. He seems to have a permanent yelling expression on his face.
"WHAT!??!" All Jounins behind me exclaimed in disbelief. "Space – Time Fuinjutsu!?" Kakashi exclaimed. "Impossible!"
I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it also took us a while to take it. But apparently Sakura here is a Seal Master." I said while pointing at the girl beside me. "Oh, and her Chakra Flashlight is OP by the way. So try not to get on her bad side."
Then I took a closer look at the man who is frozen in time along with the rest of Konoha. "I think I've seen him before, who is this guy?" I asked the tied up Jounins.
Kakashi glanced at the frozen Jounin. "Have you ever heard the word 'youth' being yelled out at about 5 a.m every morning before slowly fading away to the other side of the village?" He asked while all of us just nodded mutely. "That's him doing his usual exercise."
Now I'm getting very grateful Sakura can literally stop time...
"All right, back to business. Konoha Invasion and Chunin Exam." I told everyone. Then I looked at Kabuto sitting beside Haku. "Oi! Kabuto, explain to them your ex master's plan." I told him.
Kabuto sighed and stood up from his position. Then he starts explaining everything towards the three Jounins in front of him. From the beginning when he infiltrated Konoha, the assassination of Sakura's parents, to his plan to destroy Konoha with the help of Suna and Oto.
After about five minutes of Kabuto's explanation, the Jounins finally understands why we took this drastic method. They looked at each other for a moment before nodding a little. "All right, we'll help you." Kakashi said easily.
"How do we know you're not going to tell the Hokage after we let you go?" I asked him.
Kakashi shrugged in response. "What? And tell him I got kidnapped by a bunch of genins?" He looked at us with a flat look on his face. "I am keeping my pride, thank you very much!"
Kurenai sighed a little. "It's not like I have a choice. Even if I get out of here, my power does not work on you." She said while glancing at me. "And I doubt Asuma has enough guts to deal with you after what you did to him months ago."
Asuma cringed a little. "Y-yeah, what both of them said." He muttered a little. "Can we please not talk about it?" He whispered to them.
Hmm... They seem to be pretty darn genuine about all this... "All right then, Shikamaru, what do you think?" I asked our main strategist.
Shikamaru observed the three jounins in front of him. "You can free them now..." He muttered. "But don't remove the Chakra Suppression Seal just for a precaution." He added
Everyone walked towards their respective Jounin Sensei before freeing them from the binds. They stretched their body for a moment before studying us with a very judgy look on their faces. "You know that we can all get into a lot of trouble for this right?" Kurenai asked.
We all nodded with determination. "Don't worry Sensei, we're all in this together!" Naruto exclaimed. "As long as we work together, nobody can stand against us. Believe it!!!" He added confidently
