Double Trouble

A lesson of sorts

We nodded, " saying that basically Shika and Naru are up close and Gaara and Kakashi are distant." She said it, closing her eyes. "You leave in three days. I suggest you try to form bonds deeper, get ready..." She nodded to us.

We bowed and left heading out in flashes. I landed on a nearby roof overlooking the village. This mission seemed like it was going to be tough.

"Naruko" kakashi almost sang from behind me.

I jumped a foot , " gosh I'll end up dead if I still can't sense you!" I gasped folding my arms. I looked over at him and sighed, " wanna help me train?" I asked with a smile.

He tilted his head, " oh? Sure..." He gave me a closed eye.

I gave him a thumbs up and grabbed his hand. " Basically ninja hide and seek!" I winked. " hmm... Then we can play tag! " I laughed.

He chuckled, patting my head, " Well then you hide first." He chuckled.

I nodded and poofed, hmm... Where to hide... I tapped my chin. I had to hide somewhere he couldn't smell me out. I headed into the forest zipping throughout all the trees trying to spread out my scent throughout the woods.

Then I climbed up higher in the trees, "Hidden fox jutsu" I whispered. Now let's sit and wait... I crossed my legs and closed my eyes. I focused on spreading out my senses.

As soon as Kakashi stepped into my general area I could feel it. He was running and fast... He zipped through the forest following my trail until he must have realized what I had done. But then he started heading straight for me?!

I remained calm until he stopped at the tree I was at. I opened my eyes coming face to face with him.

"Found you!" He said with a closed eye smile. He smiled up at me amused.

I smiled, " here I thought I had fooled you for a moment." I giggled and tackled kakashi. "Oh!" I had forgotten we were in a tree. We started to fall but Kakashi held me and flipped, landing on a branch with me in his arms.

He shook his head, " careful now." He said with a chuckle. He held me carefully, but his hand gripping my bare thigh sent electric though my body, I did my best to ignore it.

I sighed, trying to move on. " Well it's your turn to hide." I said it as we hit the ground.

He sighed, " Alright... Then this tag of yours?" He asked, sitting me on my feet. He made sure I was steady before stepping away from me.

I nodded, " I think I can find you pretty fast. I've been working on creating a new jutsu... Time to see if it works." I said with a smile then started to count. He looked caught off guard but quickly vanished into thin air.

I closed my eyes and I clapped my hands together, " Ribbon of life jutsu!" When I opened my eyes I could see a silver glowing line of light. I blinked. This was the first time actually using this intentionally... Oh man... This was hard to keep focused.

I followed the silver Ribbon of light, it has to be Kakashi... I spotted a couple others but ignored them for now.They all flickered the moment my focus left just his, Just focus on kakashi. I held my hands together racing forward until I was in the old training area... Which was by the kia stone.

" found you!" I sang as I ran over to Kakashi who was leaning behind it.

He turned to me and froze, " Naru!?" He looked shocked. He was oddly well hidden , far away from where he had left me. Without the jutsu it would have been a while before I found him.

I pulled my hands apart breaking the jutsu, " Man... That was tough.. But this jutsu is awesomely hard." I said it softly poking his arm.

He looked at me surprised, " you really should explain this to me, dear..." He pressed. He had the same look as when I had fought him when I came back for years of training with Jiraiya.
