The Way Of Ninjutsu: Part 5
Hello, another update of Ninjutsu for you guys to…enjoy…I think. I HOPE so anyway as there’s been a lag in people posting. I like reading your stuff! POST MOOOOORE! *goes slightly insane*
anyways, I thought that maybe you guys might like to know a little more about the characters, for example what they look like, so I have this site that has images of some of the characters, mostly Kakashi (!) Sasuke and Naruto, I’m lacking some of Sakura and Iruka, but as I’ve been drawing out alot of them lately I should have some up in no time!

“It’s been some time now…” Sighed Sakura, it was Saturday and group seven minus Kakashi had grouped together so they could discuss things that had happened recently as training had been delayed until further notice.
“Yeah, I’m beginning to forget what he looks like” Naruto said as he hung from a tree and dropped clumsily to the ground beside her. He looked over to Sasuke, who was as always, distant from the group staring into the horizon with that look on his face, that of which was emotionless and showed that he was lost in his own thoughts.
Naruto spotted a frown appear on his companion as he sighed and turned back to look at them.
“I don’t know about you, but I think we’re running out of luck. We have to do something, sitting around on standby isn’t doing anybody any good, we’re all getting paranoid”
Sakura nodded so fast, agreeing with Sasuke that Naruto thought that her forehead protector was about to fall off her head. Each of the graduated ninjas were awarded with these protectors and wore them in different ways, Sasuke and Naruto wore them in the traditional way, however Sakura wore hers as a headband for her light pink locks.
“Yes! Ino attacked her mother the other day in the flower shop, thinking that there was someone out the back getting ready to assassinate her. Though I doubt anybody would have missed her if it was the same ninjas that took Kakashi.” She paused but then thought of another insult.
”Then again, who would be interested in someone like her? She couldn’t pull a decent punch if her life depended on it”
Naruto laughed a little, but these days with everyone being so pessimistic and worrying about the highly respected Sensei, as well as being unable to go to training to take their minds off things, it was hard to keep their sense of humour.
“I wish there was something we could do” he fell onto his back and gazed up at the sky. There was a large amount of white and grey clouds, with very little blue. A miserable day in a miserable town. Sooner or later, miserable people.
“Or so you think. Come on Naruto, you’re the risk-taker and you can’t think of the same thing I am?” Naruto instantly sat bolt upright to find Sasuke crouching down in front of him sporting an odd glint in his eye.
“Yes Naruto, very good” they each looked at each other knowingly and small smirks showed their incisors. However Sakura hadn’t caught on.
“oh no, what are you two up to?”
”What are us three up to you mean? You’re coming too” Sakura’s face paled as she caught on. “Oh no, you can’t be serious?”
”Oh, we’re serious all right” retorted Sasuke
”Deadly serious” The girl looked at one of the boys to the other, a part of her was like a caged animal, desperate to get out and do something. But then there was the danger she had seen much of it, but it was so unessisary.
What if they found Kakashi?
What id they found him, but not alive?
She considered this, wouldn’t these questions persist even if she stayed behind? Either way they were group seven, they had to stay together and more importantly find Kakashi before something happened to him.
“Okay, I’m in. But answer this, how are we supposed to get out of Konoha without anybody noticing? We could make them worry more if we just took off” Naruto and Sasukes blank facial expressions showed that they hadn’t put much thought into any of it.
”Well, I guess you’ll have to take care of that, Sakura. How about we each have ajob to sort out before we leave. We’re going to need weapons and various other items” The Uchiha heir said as he sat down so that the three of them were in a close triangle.
”Then leave the food supplies to me!” Naruto jumped in loudly, not only was it the easiest task, he had a whole collection of ramen, noodles and soup at home.
”Then I’ll stock up on offensive weaponary, I’ll also synthesise some poisons by blending some of the seeds and ingredients from the time Kakashi showed us how to make poisons” Sasuke muttered slowly, already calculating and remembering the ratios of ingredients to make the most lethal venoms.
”Which leaves me. What should I do?” said the last of the trio. At first they struggled to give her a role, but finally Naruto had an idea.
”you can be our pioneer! Find out ways we can escape the town, and investigate maps to search for places Kakashi could have been taken to” he smiled triumphantly back at the other two.
Sasuke rose suddenly making Sakura jump and began to set off home after giving the other two scrolls with instructions inked onto them.
”Weird…” Naruto absent-mindedly picked at the scroll to open it and read the contents. Both of them were exactly the same, but as the note mentioned they wouldn’t see each other again until they were setting out, so they would need their own copy.
”Group Seven.
If you’re reading this then it’s obvious that we three have agreed to rescue Hatake Kakashi. Good for you, if you had declined I would have gone alone.
However we cannot be sure if we shall return, dead or alive. If you don’t want to go Sakura, I’d understand as you’re so wimpy”
”Why the little…” Sakura ranted as Naurto continued
”I suppose that was a joke, Ino is far more of a wimp than you, but it’s not her who said yes to this idea. She wouldn’t understand.
All of us are to meet where Sakura thinks it is safe after posting maps to us. Sakura, label this location in red ink. We shall meet there at 5 am.
Good luck
P.S
Naruto, don’t scoff all of the ramen before we get our hands on it”
”I guess it’s official then. We’re going to save Kakashi”
