Temari , Kankuro and Gaara all three returned to their accomodation, but this time they were all in a daze .
Narutos words still echoing in their minds and Temari still had fluttering heart beat and she couldnt help but keep on smiling .
Her ears red like cherry and her face was flushed .
She entered her own room and jumped onto the bed as she put a hand on her cheek , as if she could still feel the sensation of being kissed , her heartbeat rose and her bounty full cheat rose and dropped rapidly , her mind was filled by imagination of Naruto face , and how he'll come to Sunagakure to take her away .
As the night progressed , her body grew hotter and hotter and her hands slipped inside her clothes .
Her lips mouthed Naruto as she didnt stop her thoughts and mental images .
...
In the hyuga estate , Hinata was missing Naruto as she was muttering her name in sleep . Her fingers tracing her lips as she was have dreams of their long and deep kisses.
Far from the Hyuga , another girl was having trouble sleeping as she was cursing at herself .
' Stupid ino pig !! ..why couldnt you have stopped your self and let Him keep on ...holding your hand '
In order to feel that sensation , she tried to hold her hand with her other hand .
' No ..this is right ...Narutos hand was soo warm and big ... It was soo assuring and comforting ... Stupid stupid ino !'
....
" Master shall we try something new ? " A seductive voice entered Narutos ears as the naked girl lying by his side made a mischievous face .
" you little succubus ... "
Kumi leaned in and whispered something in narutos ears ...
" You will never seize to suprise me kumi ... "
...
While naruto was enjoying his nightly exercises , Sasuke was lying unconscious in the bed , sakura was sleeping next to him while Jiraya and Kakashi both standing by the window looking at the two young ones.
" Its Orichimaru isnt it Jiraya sama ? "
" hmm .its him ..that why i retur.."
Jiraya stopped as Narutos words echoed in his mind ...' why now '
Jiraya lowered his head and a self depreciating smile appeared on his face....
" ..he was right ."
" What ? "
Kakashi confused by the sudden change in Jirayas tone .
" Ah nothing ... Listen Kakashi , If Orochimaru is here , i am afraid it isnt only because of Sasuke but he is here for Naruto"
Kakashi eyes opened up
" For the nine tails ?...but why ? "
" I am afraid i dont have the answer for this ...but i have been trying to find it .
Orichimaru, when he left the village , he had joined a group of rouge shinobis ... They go by the name of Akatsuki . I tracked them for years but i could never find out much about them ..only that they had dealings with the land of earth and Land of water and other smaller nations .
Initially they were just mercenaries but with time ... I have come go suspect that the final goal of this organisation is to capture the Tailed beast "
" Jiraya sama ...this !! "
" dont underestimate them , Orochimaru and Itachi Uchiha have both connection with this organisation "
" WHAT !! ..Even itachi is a member!! "
" Yes ...after defecting from the village and killing his kin , Itachi joined them and i have heard from some sources that the death of the forth mizukage was caused by this organisation and itachi was there ! "
"... !! ..."
Kakashi was shocked and remember the last conversation he had with itachi , the day before he killed all of the uchihas except his brother sasuke.
' Could i have said something different... Or had Itachi already made up his mind ..'
Jiraya knew kakashi blamed himself some what after all itachi was his junior in the anbu .
Jiraya patted his shoulder and said
" We all have made decision which were right at that time kakashi ...but as time passes those decision seemed wrong . But all we can do is live with that burden and teach others and ourself to not make that same mistake again "
Kakashi nodded .
" Anyway , ill leave Sasuke in your care , i have stabilized and sealed the curse mark but its only temporary. Orichimarus research into curse marks and seals has grown far beyond my reach "
" Hmm .. I'll take care of him Jiraya sama
But ... What about Naruto ? "
When kakashi mentioned , Naruto , jiraya froze up as his face fell .
" i am not worthy to look after him kakashi , not anymore ... I have let down minato and kushina both , i am thinking of visiting an old friend... Maybe she can look after naruto . I just hope she agrees "
Kakashi nodded as he knew who jiraya sensei was talking about .
" jiraya sama are you leaving again ? "
" no ..not yet , ill leave after the chunin exams finish ... Plus with Orochimaru here i dont think ill leave the land of fire anytime soon .
But sensei has asked me to deliver something to the Daimo palace .. so ill be leaving in a day or two "
Kakashi nodded as he looked towards Sasuke and sakura .
" The future is in your hands .. sorey but we have failed "
Kakashi muttered as he left through the window .
....
Two days after the second test ended , Sasuke woke up , his face pale as his enture body was in pain and stiff .
Sakura was overjoyed as tears stream down her face as she jumped to hug him .
Sasuke had a blank face as he looked at sakura and kakashi .
" Where is naruto ? "
Sasuke asked as his hand moved and patted sakura .
Kakashi sighed and said .
" Probably sleeping or .. i am not sure "
Sasuke nodded as he waited , finally at the sun reached its peak , Naruto came to visit .
Naruto greeted sakura and sasuke but refrained from making any comments .
Kakashi finally asked Sakura to leave as this was something only Team 7 needed to talk and discuss about , although reluctant , Sakura had no choice and left before giving sasuke a kiss on the cheek .
Naruto smirked at this , as sasuke turned his face to the side
Kakashi as usually had a poker face .
" Who was that guy kakashi !? "
Sasuke finally asked .
" I am sure you have heard his name , he is one of the sannins , Orochimaru "
