Chapter 13: Onwards to The Land of Earth!
When Kakashi awoke the following morning, he was intertwined in a tight embrace with Naruto. He breathed in the blond’s amazing smell which instantly made him feel happy and relaxed. He closed his eyes as he absentmindedly caressed Naruto’s hand. Soon enough, Naruto awoke as well. He stretched his limbs like a cat and tried to blink away the sleep from his eyes. “Gmorning Kakasensei…” he muttered sleepily closing his eyes again.
Kakashi snickered. “You know you’re allowed to just call me Kakashi now right? Me being your boyfriend and all.” Kakashi replied while pulling Naruto in for a hug.
The young man blushed. “Boyfriend huh? I kinda like the sound of that.” Naruto said with a wide grin as he turned around to give the older shinobi a kiss.
“I thought you would.” Kakashi replied with a little smile.
“And I’m really really starting to like sharing a tent with you.” Naruto added gleeful.
“You little pervert. I bet you ripped your own tent on purpose huh?” Kakashi teased the bond.
Naruto chuckled. “So you finally figured that out huh?”
“Learn to lie better Naruto, you’re supposed to be a shinobi you know.” Kakashi fake-scolded him.
“Hai senseiiii.” Naruto rebuked with a laugh.
“I love hearing him laugh.” Kakashi thought within himself as he leaned in for another kiss.

A few hours later, both shinobi had packed up their belongings and were ready to continue their journey. There wasn’t a real road ahead of them, but Kakashi knew they needed to keep on heading north until the dried up sandy road beneath their feed changed to a darker more red color. The sign of a soil that carried clay. The Land Of Earth would be an unforgiving environment as well, made up out of huge mountains, deep canyons and rocks everywhere. Kakashi had seen the houses in which the people of Iwa lived. Their homes were carved out of the rocky walls surrounding the city like a huge natural barrier, keeping the civilians safe from harm. Except for the occasional falling rock perhaps. The houses and homes in Konoha were made up out of wood, seeing how Konoha was surrounded by nature and thick forests. Both Naruto and Kakashi loved and missed those forests now.
As Naruto was walking a few steps behind Kakashi, he found himself mesmerized by the way the wind played with Kakashi’s hair. Kakashi on the other hand was reading one of his Icha Icha novels. “Such a strange color.” Naruto mused. “Not light gray like Pervy Sage’s… but really more like a silver color. It crazy how well it suits him. It does make him look older than he is though. But it also makes him look really cool.” Naruto grinned. “And it feels a bit like wire. It’s tough, as if it’s his lightning nature that shocked it and it stayed that way. I like how it stays crooked, even with the wind…” Naruto’s eye grew wide.
“THE WIND!” He suddenly yelled out to no one in particular.
The sudden noise startled Kakashi as he almost tripped and dropped his book. “NARUTO! Do you remember what I told you about traveling inconspicuously!” Kakashi yelled distressed.
“Hai-Hai, sorry Kakashi-sensei, but I was thinking about… the wind …” He added a bit too slow. “Anyway, don’t you remember? You said we would try and find out if I had any other chakra nature affinities?” Naruto beamed.
“Of course I remember Naruto, but last time when I wanted to…”
“So let’s find out!” Naruto yelled enthusiastically interrupting Kakashi. The silver-haired shinobi sighed. “Fine, fine Come here.” He said while rummaging around in his backpack. He pulled out five little slips of chakra paper. “You remember these?” Kakashi asked the blond.
“Sure I do. We used them before to learn that I have a wind nature chakra back in Konoha.”
“Right. They showed us that your chakra has the strongest disposition for wind. None the less, it might also be possible that you possess a lesser affinity for other natures. In order for us to find out, you will have to use five papers at once.” Kakashi spread the five small papers on the ground in a small circle. “Put one finger on each paper Naruto.” The young shinobi complied. “Now send a bit of chakra through all five papers, and keep doing so until you get a reaction out of each one.” Naruto nodded as he did what his sensei said.
The first, second, third and fourth piece of paper split almost instantly, referring to Naruto’s wind nature. The fifth one on the other hand remained intact. “Don’t move your hand, keep at it Naruto.” Kakashi said to encourage his student. Naruto concentrated on the fifth piece of paper below his little finger. Kakashi waited patiently. After a few minutes, the paper suddenly got soaked.
“YEAAAAH, I did it!” Naruto screamed euphorically while frantically waving his arms in the air.
“Congratulations Naruto. You have the affinity for two chakra natures, wind and water.” Kakashi proclaimed with a smile. He loved seeing Naruto happy. “Good job.” He said while ruffling the blond’s hair. “The papers do show that your wind nature is a whole lot stronger than your water nature, so keep that in mind.” Kakashi added seriously. “Your training should first and foremost focus on wind techniques. You can always learn more about water techniques later. Understood?”
“Yeah yeah, no worries Kakashi-sensei. I’m on it.” The blond said while beaming a bright smile.
“Come on, let’s keep moving. I would like us to reach some civilization before sundown.”
“Really? We’re going to a city?” “No, no, there are no real cities around here Naruto, but we should encounter a very small township about a days walk from our previous camping place. Just civilians, probably no real shinobi’s.”
“Will they have a ramen stand?” Naruto asked hopeful.
“I doubt it.” When he saw the pout on the young man’s face, he couldn’t help but snicker as he pulled the blond close and let his arm rest on Naruto’s shoulder. “We can check if they have a small supermarket though. Maybe we can buy some ramen there huh?”
“Great, yeah, let’s do that!” Naruto said as his face lighted up again.

Around sundown, both shinobi were close to reaching the township and the border between the Land of Wind and The Land of Earth. Their surroundings changed from a flat dry desert like area to an environment with darker sand, huge rocks and slopes everywhere and a lot of upturning sand and dust. They hurried along as it became darker and darker. Kakashi was moving in a quick pace only a few feet behind Naruto, who was eagerly looking forward to perhaps sleeping indoors and having a nice shower for once to wash the sand and dust from his blond hair. Which is why it came a big surprise to Kakashi, when he suddenly collided with Naruto who now stood still.
“Ouch, Naruto, what are you doing? Why did you just stop all the sudden?” Kakashi asked while rubbing the ribs that hit Naruto’s backpack.
“Ssht. Listen.” Naruto whispered.
Kakashi closed his eyes and listened to his surroundings. He heard it as well. A faint cry for help, a high voice, child or women, about 300 meters (328 yards) to the east.
“Let’s go.” Naruto said without hesitation.
“Wait a minute Naruto. We’re supposed to be ordinary travelers, not…” Kakashi started in vain. Naruto had already took off. Kakashi immediately went after him.

After a few minutes the road suddenly ended in a steep ravine that surprised Naruto. He tried to stop but his sandals couldn’t get a grip on the gravel and sand covered earth. He slipped and tumbled straight over the edge, scratching his hands and knees while doing so. Luckily, Kakashi was right on his tail. He burst forward to the edge of the cliff and let himself fall over as well while shoving a chakra enforced kunai into the hard ground.
He was right in time to reach Naruto’s scraped hand causing a heavy jolt in his shoulders as he held the young man’s weight. Naruto quickly send some chakra to his feet so he could climbed back up to the cliff’s edge with one of his own kunai. He immediately turned around to help Kakashi who was now also pulling himself back up. Kakashi fell on his back panting, not from exhaustion, but from pure adrenaline and fear as he saw his lover tumble over the edge.
The blond whistled between his teeth. “Fhew, they really should put a fence around that cliff. Look at it, it’s easily 50 meters deep!” Naruto proclaimed while peering over the edge.
Kakashi was up in a second and grabbed the back of the young shinobi’s neck as he turned him in his direction. “Don’t - ever - do - that - again!” He yelled at Naruto in between breaths. He knew his nails were digging into Naruto’s skin, but he didn’t care. The thought of Naruto being so reckless, careless even with his own life when he thought others were in danger, it riled him up. Especially because he knew this wasn’t the first time he had done so.
“I’m sorry…” Naruto said quietly, scared to say anything more in case it would perhaps anger Kakashi further.
Kakashi felt Naruto’s arms resting on his waist as the blond reached over to kiss him on the neck. The only place he could reach really, when Kakashi had such a harsh grip on his own neck.
The older shinobi sighed as he moved his hands to Naruto’s back. “Just… don’t scare me like that okay?” He pleaded.
Naruto blushed as he realized how much Kakashi really cared about him. He knew Kakashi cared from way before they had been getting to know each other more intimately. It was shown in the little gestures like protecting Naruto on missions, making sure he ate enough vegetables when he was alone, talking to him when he was down about something… But things had changed. Their relationship had changed. Kakashi always remained in control and calm, even in dangerous situations or in battles. But now he had genuinely been frightened to lose Naruto, as if he cared even more about him than before. “Kakashi, what…”
“I’ve lost enough people I care about.” Kakashi interrupted him. “Not you.” He mumbled.
They both jumped up when they heard the high voice again. “It comes from over there!” Naruto shouted as he pointed a few meters further down the ridge.
They had to move carefully as the evening became darker. They had to follow the sound of the voice that was getting more and more faint. “Look there!” Naruto suddenly yelled out as he leaned over the edge.
Kakashi grabbed the back of the blond’s vest to hold him back while gazing over the edge himself. About five meters below there was a small ridge sticking out of the cliffs. They saw a young boy pressed firmly against the rocky wall holding a small kitten safely against his chest.
“Pleeeaase, help me! Get me out of here!” The boy had tears streaming down his face.
“Don’t worry! Naruto yelled. We’ll get you out, just don’t move!”
Kakashi immediately understood the blond’s plan when he yelled “Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!” The clones held on to each other’s ankles as they formed a living rope to the small ridge, which the real Naruto climbed down from. When it turned out the boy had hurt his leg, Naruto used the help of a clone to push him up onto his back and climb back up. Kakashi immediately pulled the injured boy from Naruto’s back when they were within reach. He carefully put him down on the ground and started to examine his injuries. His skin was red from being out in the sun all day and he was dehydrated, but what worried Kakashi most was the boy’s immobile leg.
“Naruto, bring over the canteen. He needs some water.” Kakashi lifted the boys shoulder’s so Naruto could help him drink.
“Give him to me, I’ll make sure he gets some water as well.” Naruto said kindly referring to the little kitten hiding in the boy’s arms.
It was obvious that the child was frightened, but he seemed to trust Naruto and gave him a weak smile while handing over the cat. “His name is Kosho.” The young boy replied softly.
“And what is your name?” Kakashi asked trying his very best to sound gentle. The child looked at him with giant eyes filled with fear. “Well?” He edged on. “Perhaps your age? Your home?” The boys bottom lip started trembling. Kakashi sighed.
“Naruto, can you talk to him please.” He said wearily.
“Hey, what’s wrong? Don’t cry. We’re not going to hurt you or Kosho. We just wanna help, even the scary looking guy.” Naruto smiled brightly as he handed the cat back to the boy. Kakashi rolled his eye. “My name is Yuri.” The boy replied softly while looking at Naruto. “I just turned five a week ago. That’s when my mom and dad gave me Kosho. I had to keep an eye on him but he escaped the house. He got trapped on that little piece of stone while chasing a bird. I tried to be brave and help him but I fell down and now my leg hurts real bad. The boy started crying.
“Sssh, it’s okay. My friend here will take a look at your leg and then we’ll carry you home. Okay?” Naruto tried to calm the child.
“Hold him down will you, I’m gonna check his leg.”
Naruto placed himself behind Yuri’s and slightly lifted him up so he could push the boy up a bit on his knees. “Just look up at me Yuri. My name is Naru…” Kakashi started coughing loudly.
“I’m sorry for interrupting you ‘NARUSHI’.” Kakashi scolded him not so very subtly.
“Right, right. My name is Narushi, and I’ve always wanted a cat as well. I think I would name mine Noodle though. I really love ramen you see…” Naruto started chatting on to distract the child.
Kakashi used a kunai to slice open the boy’s trouser leg. The leg looked heavily bruised. While checking the child’s foot mobility and his knee he heard Naruto ask Yuri why he was scared of ‘his older friend’. He tried to ignore the “because he looks like a scarecrow without a face” comment and Naruto’s snickering.
“The leg’s broken Naruto. Seems like a clean and easy fracture though.” Kakashi deducted. “I’ll go find some wood to support it before we get him back home.”
While picking up some branches, he heard the boy asking Naruto why the scarecrow was wearing a mask and eyepatch. He sighed as he picked up the last branch and returned to bind them to the child’s leg. He lifted the boy up, and asked him to point them in the direction of the village and his home. They would have a harder time finding the way themselves now that it was completely dark except for the light from the moon and stars.
