Team Kakashi was dispatched on an S-ranked mission. One that meant a great deal of importance to Naruto and the entire Sand village. A lot was placed on their shoulders. The group just recently left the next morning. They were in the forest, traveling at a quick pace, Naruto however was traveling at a higher speed and he was breaking formation constantly, making the other's rush. Jiraiyah decided to go with them. Kakashi was told a lot about Naruto over the two and a half year course of training and how his skills had improved.

"Naruto slow down!"Sakura called to him.

"Why don you make me!"Naruto snapped and went forward.

The group went on ahead and stopped to take a small break. Naruto felt like he was being watched, so he stayed on guard. Naruto was completely on edge, his yes constantly scanning the dark trees. Looking out for any movement that might be an enemy. The next day came and they ran into Temari. Naruto said a quick hi and the others decided to have her join them, telling her about what happened with her brother. Naruto was walking, ordered by both Kakashi and Jirayah to stay with the group, they recently slowed down because of energy. Naruto could just endure more then they could so the lack of energy was normal. In his condition he could go two days without a rest or food break, running.

"Naruto...we are all worried but we must slowl down from time to time to catch our breath."Jirayah sighed.

"I think you all need to learn how to get better cardio." Naruto stated rudely.

"Naruto don't talk the way to a legendary Sanin!" Temari said.

"...how about you make me." Naruto challenged.

"Naruto ENOUGH!" Sakura punched Naruto's gut. "Clam yourself, how do you think she feels? It's her brother. Now be patient. Have you matured at all?" Sakura asked with a rude tone.

Naruto winced and looked at at the ground and stood straight. He folded his arms and walked forwards in a regular pace like the rest of them.

They walked until they reached the desert. Thats when they picked up the pace. Naruto was behind them all this time. Naruto was a little hurt from when he was punched. Sakura had her training cut out for her...She was stronger.

They eventually made it to the sand and there they found out Kankoro was poisoned. Sakura ended up saving his life. Turns out she was super awesome at being a medical ninja. There they met an old woman names Lady Cheo. She attacked Kakashi and Naruto learned about his dad and how he killed himself out if disrespect.

Naruto walked to his room that he was staring in and looked at his arms. He looked at the ground and then outside and sighed. He felt tired And laid down, yet he couldn't fall asleep.

Kakashi walked in and looked at Naruto.

"Hey bud." Kakashi said.

"Hey..." Naruto said.

"You oksy?" Kakashi asked.

"My friend is kidnapped by the group that wants me dead...I'm totally okay." Naruto frowned.

"Naruto...please stop with the rudeness." Kakashi walked to Naruto and Hugged him.

Naruto didn't hug bsck, he just laid there staring at the ceiling with a depressed face. Kakashi looked at him and took his mask off and vest.

"I sent Pakun to find the hideout...Kankoro had a piece of cloth from one of the members of the Akatuski." Kakashi said.

"Kakashi..." Naruto sat up and looked at him. "Just stop talking..."Naruto looked mad.

"Why? I was only informing you we are closer to finding Ga-" Kakashi stopped.

Naruto had again, kissed him to shut him up. Naruto looked at him and Kakashi melted into the kiss. Naruto wrapped his arms around Kakashi's neck and Kakashi wrapped his arms around Naruto's back. Naruto was on his toes, cause how tall Kakashi was. Naruto had a light blush that had spread across his face. He hates the touch, but loved the person, so he didn't complain.

Soon the two had to break the kiss for air and looked at one another, both with blushes on their face. The two panted slightly and caught their breathe. After a small pause they kissed again and sat down on the bed. Naruto auddenly felt a pain in his head and opened his eyes to see A red headed transparent woman with no visible eyes and a soft smile and his eyes widened and he pulled away from Kakashi and pushed him slightly.

"Sorry I did that..." Naruto apologized and laid down.

Kakashi frowned and wanted to ask him but decided to leave him be. Kakashi went to the other bed and laid down, and smiled to himself, his fingers feeling his own lips. He was happy to finally do that to Naruto. He then yawned and decided to rest knowing they would have a long day tomorrow.

That kiss wasn't to shut him up and Naruto knew that...that was the first truly love feeling kiss.
