Naruto: The Lone Wolf of the Leaf

Rage

Ryu POV

Ryu: Wait why are you in the hospital Kakashi?

Kakashi: Well funny story actually. You see, during our little battle with Deidara and Sasori, I used the Mangekyo Sharingan. It was a little taxing, so I have to stay in the hospital for a little bit.

Haku: Well I guess we need to find someone to lead the next-

Haku hand shot straight to the blanket over Kakashi's face and pulled it down. When she did, he had a bodysuit that still covered his face.

Haku: Oh come on!

Kakashi: That was meant for Naruto, but you work too.

Ryu: Moving on, I wonder how Sasuke is doing right about now.

Haku: Can't you just teleport to him?

Ryu: No, that would just interrupt him from anything he does. I'll let him have his peace of mind for now. Now like I was saying, we really need to find a suitable replacement.

Kakashi: Why not yourself?

Haku: Yeah Ryu you'd do fine.

Ryu: I was getting to that part. I won't be able to because I have a mission I'll have to do. Get this, Tsunade wants me to see how I do training a squad.

Kakashi: Looks like you'll be getting a taste of what being a real Sensei is like.

Haku: Well sadly I won't be able to come, Lady Tsunade says she has a mission for Kai Mei and I.

???: Well, looks like Tsunade is gonna have to find a few replacements.

I looked at the window and saw Jiraiya.

Ryu: Ok Jiraiya either you dropped in to give more Make our Tactics to Kakashi or something else has come up.

Jiraiya: We can talk when Kira Tsunade and her man get here.

I was confused when he said her man but I just shrugged it off.

Time Skip!

Tsunade: Alright I'm here.

Kakashi: Just come in.

Tsunade walked in with Kira and some other guy.

Ryu: No disrespect, but who are you?

???: My name is Yamato.

Ryu: I'm guessing you'll be Kakashi replacement?

Yamato: Yes. And no offense but it looks like your friend was a little... hot blooded.

Ryu: Which one?

Yamato: Naruto.

Ryu: Well at least it was only one of them. But why? Who else was there?

Tsunade: A member from the foundation.

Haku: What?!

Ryu: Are you crazy?!

Kira: You do know that it's run by Danzo right?!

Tsunade: Yes I still wish that I had chosen Ryu. But SOMEONE wanted you to stay just in case something happened.

Ryu: Shizune?

Tsunade: I will not name names.

Kira: Anyway that's not what we're here to talk about.

Tsunade: If he is to be leading your team Kakashi, I want him to know exactly what he's dealing with.

Yamato: Hm?
