"Woah, there. You ok?" Kakashi asks as he catches Naruto for the fifth time since they left. Despite that, he never took his eyes off Misaki. Something just wasn't right about her. Kakashi heard snoring. He looked at his shoulder and noticed Naruto's eyes were closed. He had fallen asleep.
"Are you sure he's ok? He doesn't seem to be at 100% to me." Misaki looked at Naruto for a little longer. Worry grew in her eyes. She glanced at Kakashi and looked away.
'Does she have something against me?' Kakashi thought.
"Stop. Someone is close." Misaki warned them. Everything was silent but Naruto's snoring. Then, a rustle made itself away from a nearby bush. Misaki tried to put her arms in front of Guy to stop him but was too late. "No!!! Stop! Its-" She didn't finish for Guy was punched back by a fist. Kakashi glanced at Guy, but then turned his attention back to the bush. From it, came out out Lady Tsunade and Tenzou, along with an exhausted Naruto clone behind them.
"THERE YOU ARE!" Preparing her fist, Tsunade launched herself at Misaki only to be stop by the Naruto clone. POOF! It disappeared. Apparently, it wasn't enough to stop her for the fist went through and hit Misaki, pushing her back 20 meters unconscious.
"What is happening Tsunade-sama?" Kakashi was really confused.
"She escaped the hospital. She's stronger than we thought. Did she do anything... Suspicious?" She said the word 'suspicious' as if she expected news.
"I'll tell you later. Not now." Kakashi stared at Naruto as if he would just wake up and say something stupid. Although he has matured so much, he still had his habits.
"I'll take Naruto." Tenzou offered. Just then, Misaki appeared behind Tenzou and put him in a headlock. Everyone stared at where 'Misaki' was and just saw a log with a really big hole through it. "How- who are you?" Tenzou gasped between breaths.
"You can't fool me! Who are you! You are obviously not Tenzou or whoever! Are you after me?" Misaki tightened her grip to reveal the fake. The man started to transform into a man wearing a huge black cape with red clouds on them. His features were starting to clear up and showed a young face- 20 years old the most - with black hair, pink lips, average nose, and red eyes. Eyes that showed that he had seen something he shouldn't have and regretted seeing it.
"You're more than I bargained for." He moved his eyes slowly to Naruto. "And so is he." He closed his eyes and started to seep into the ground, out of Misaki's grasp.
"No! Come back here you jerk! You owe me an explanation!" It was already to late. He disappeared completely and left Misaki just clawing at dirt. She gave up and fell back. She hugged her knees and buried her face in it. One drop, two, drops, three. She then started crying. She looked up and saw someone's hand on her shoulder.
"Why are you crying?" She slowly looked up and saw Naruto's caring face over her. He had on smile on.
"He got away. He wasn't supposed to get away. I'm such a failure." She buried her face back into her knees. Naruto went around and grabbed her hand. He pulled her up, her face still looking down. He gently grabbed her chin and raised it up so her eyes were looking up into his. He passed his thumb over his cheek wiping away her tears.
"I wouldn't call you a failure. You knew he wasn't who he said he was. You managed to surprise Granny and the guy. So he got away. There are many more opportunities to finish it. You can't dwell in your mistakes or the past. Never give up." Misaki started at him in utter shock. After a few minutes she chuckled.
"You sound just like I once knew, y'know?" Naruto smiled.
"Come on. Lets all go back to Konoha." Misaki followed Naruto and everyone else came along.
