Naruto the next Generations part 4

(AT THE UCHIHA HOUSE)

SASUKE: Hey Raven can I talk to you?

RAVEN: Sure dad. (Sasuke walks in and Raven sees his expression and knows something is up) What's going on dad?

SASUKE: I was wondering if you were close to Nika.

RAVEN: You already know don't you?

SASUKE: I have an idea. if it's true you should tell her.

RAVEN: (smiles) thanks dad.


NIKAthe next day Nika is already in her chair and is notably excited when Marrette walks in with Azariah and Raven, who blushes again) Hey guys

MARRETTE: Hiya Nika! How ya feelin'!?

AZARIAH: Yeah how h-have you been?

NIKA: great a lot better than I have been the last couple of days

MARRETTE: Well that's good.

NIKA: yeah have you guys seen Iruka Sensei?

AZARIAH: Not...not really. Why?

NIKA: Oh Nothing. I’ll be right back

RAVEN: Okay is it just me or is Nika much more happier than lately?

MARRETTE: *Looks up and shrugs* I dunno.

RAVEN: Marrette you think she' acting different? What about you Azariah?

AZARIAH: Just a bit, now that I think about it.

RAVEN: I mean it's weird and she called this morning nearly bouncing off the walls. normally Nika is much more collected than that

MARRETTE:  E'yup.....something’s up.

RAVEN: Question is what?

AZARIAH: Heh beats me.

(just then Naruto runs in and comes straight to the three of them. That's when Raven realizes what's going on)

RAVEN: It's them again isn't. the ones that tried to get the wolf before?

NARUTO: No kidding!

RAVEN: Well what are we going to do we don't even have a Sensei yet.

MARRETTE: I don't know.

RAVEN: unless, Naruto are you our sensei?

NARUTO: No easing this down, so yeah I'm your sensei.

RAVEN: I understand. Does Iruka Sensei know we're leaving?"

NARUTO: No time let's go he'll understand.

RAVEN: Alright. (turns to the others. just as Iruka walks inside shocked to see Naruto but sees the expression on his former students face and nods.)

MARRETTE: Well let's go!

RAVEN: right. (runs out with Naruto Azariah and Marrette on his heels. gets to the gate and sees his father and mother and Kakashi already there.) Dad?!

SASUKE: Iruka already know Naruto?

NARUTO: Well.....Sort of.

KAKASHI: then let’s go

NARUTO: Right!

SAKURA: How did it happen, Naruto?

(running over the trees)

NARUTO: I'm not sure! But, whatever the reason we have to stop them.

SASUKE Sasuke smiles in spite of himself knowing full well that if Naruto was like this with Nika who wasn't even related to him by blood then Raven would be in good hands.) are you sure it's the same group that killed her parents?

NARUTO: Pretty positive.

SAKURA: how did you know I mean the last time-

KAKASHI: It was them. I saw the signs after Nika disappeared

SASUKE: How did they get into the village though? that's what I want to know

RAVEN: an inside job?

SAKURA: now that makes sense. Naruto?

NARUTO: Possibly someone betrayed us and now Nika is in danger.

KAKASHI: (Kakashi shudders at the sound of danger in Naruto's voice and knew that if he wasn't careful the Nine tails just might go on a rampage even though he had control of it now.) Naruto you had better calm down. I know you're worried about Nika but you're not going to do her any good if you lose your cool.

NARUTO: *Smirks* Who said I was losing my cool?

SASUKE: no one said it but the way you were acting Naruto. well I know better than to stay in your path when you're like that

NARUTO: Well you always were a smart guy Sasuke.

SASUKE: shut up!

RAVEN: (raven smiles at his dad and Naruto's joking knowing that his dad was trying to calm Naruto down but keep him focused at the same time. just then Raven spots Nika's head band that he had made for her when they were kids and pointed it out to the others.) guys down here!

SASUKE: What is it Raven?

RAVEN: I made this for Nika when we were seven right before we started at the academy.

SAKURA: can you track it?

RAVEN: I can try. (does the hand signs and starts to read the energy.)

KAKASHI: what's he doing? (Naruto looks confused as well but Sakura just looks around)

SAKURA: It's a jutsu that only my family knows. I don't just know medical jutsu. my dad taught it to me when I was young. it's a tracking jutsu. but only Raven has been able to do it since my grandfather.

NARUTO: Really? How interesting.

SAKURA: Yeah Raven's the only one to master it. not even my grandfather could do it when he wanted. Raven however can

RAVEN: Actually it's more like when I’m really focused. like right now

SASUKE: *Thinking* He's more connected to Nika than I thought.
more than Even Sakura and I. it's more like with Hinata and Naruto
(outloud) have you tracked her?

RAVEN: Yeah they went that way toward the Black hills

NARUTO: Well, try your best okay?

SAKURA: If they’re in the Black hills then that means?

KAKASHI: That they have a base or someone let them in. Sasuke you and Sakura had better go and inform Lady Tsunade at once. the rest of us will continue to look for Nika

SAKURA & SASUKE: Right

KAKASHI: Naruto you had better go into Sage mode. Raven Azariah Marrette and I will go on ahead. you'll be able to find us either way

(Sasuke & Sakura leave)

NARUTO: Right. Good luck.

KAKASHI: Let’s go!
