Kakashi: hai. We're from konoha.

" I see. Please do follow me. "

" so you guys are konoha ninjas. I'm nordous. Your client. "

Kakashi: hai. We've been told. You requested for me.

Nordous: hai. It's expensive and valuable cargo. Not only because of my reputation that's why I requested for you.

Kakashi: valuable cargo?

Nordous: the diamond of tears. Its rumoured to sparkle the brightest of all diamonds after a princess has cried upon her husband's death making its glow.

Kakashi: I see.

Sakura: eh... That sounds romantic.

Nordous: so does its price.

Kakashi: I understand.

Nordous: your friends are...

Naruto: Uzumaki naruto.

Sakura: I'm haruno Sakura

Sai: sai.

Ryuushi didn't say anything. She stayed silent.

Nordous: that is?

Kakashi: mazari ryuushi.

Ryuushi bows " I'll go and take care of preparations. " and she leaves.

Kakashi: gomenasai. She... Has a little bit issues.

Nordous: its ok as long as you do your job. That is... I expect the copy ninja can do a good job in restraining a dangerous object.

Kakashi: gomenasai... *scratches head* which are you referring to?

Nordous: as a businessman I make it necessary for me to know a thing or two about the ninja world. Akatsuki... Is a very serious problem is it not?

Kakashi: naruto, sakura, sai, go make preparations.

Sakura: hai.

Naruto: why?!!

Sakura drags naruto out " urusai and come on. " Sai follows behind.

Kakashi: you are well informed.

Nordous: I have my sources.

Kakashi: I can guarantee she's fine and will do her job.

Nordous: yes she will. The trust of a copy ninja would have been credible if the copy ninja didn't have lollicon tendencies.

Kakashi: ha ha ha. I guess. We wilk escort you back to konoha safely.

" lollicon tendencies... They don't understand her... " he thought as he walked out.

They defeated many bandits on their journey back to konoha. They were now passing by an open space.

Nordous: what do you even see in such a little girl?

Kakashi: she's not like one. At times.

Nordous: hm. I guess I'll never understand. Maybe I should get myself one.

Kakashi: you won't find one that's like her.

Nordous: hmph. Lollicon.

Kakashi: I guess.

Nordous: you don't seem convinced by what I just said.

Kakashi: if you like to think that way. We can rest ahead after we pass here.

Nordous: anything. Maybe I should buy her.

Kakashi: she can't be bought.

Nordous: anything can be bought. Just on what terms and prices.

Kakashi: this is why you're a businessman and I'm a ninja mr nordous.

Nordous: hahaha... I guess.

Ryuushi: Kakashi.

He walked to her " what's the matter?"

Ryuushi: is he eyeing on me?

Kakashi: what made you think that?

Ryuushi:... His eyes... He glared at me for a while... Like those... People...

Kakashi: it's ok. I won't let him get to you.

She crept into his hand " ok.... "

Suddenly the carriage nordous was in, shook and tore apart by spears. Kakashi head towards the carriage " stay in your formation!!! " The floor opened up and the whole carriage fell in before closing in again.

Kakashi: Damn. Ninjas. Bring these people to safety. Ryuushi!!.... Where did she go?!!

Sai: she summoned pakkun and chased after the kidnappers.

Kakashi: tsk. She's one step faster then me. Which side?

Sai: that direction.

Naruto: then I'm...

Kakashi: you're staying!!! Sai you take charge.

Naruto: why him?!!

Kakashi flash steps and chases after ryuushi.

Naruto: why him...

As soon as Kakashi leaves, another bunch appears in front of them. The three of them defend the people and the cargo.

Sakura: that was a distraction?

Sai: or maybe they don't know where the precious cargo is on who.

Naruto: who cares!! We'll defeat all of them!!
