Author notes:� Chapter number 4 is here at last people.� I�m actually surprised that so many people
have read this, let alone favorite it or put it on their alerts list.� So I�m going to take a moment at respond to
the few reviews I�ve gotten already.� I enjoy
all the positive response I�m getting from this.

goodchaos:� not too sure what you mean by fillers, I�m
going my the manga, and because it�s all from Naruto�s point of view, if he
doesn�t see/hear of it, I won�t touch it.
Ani Rayne:� you pose a good question, who are you?� But thanks for the review.

Chapter Four:
Unexpected Expectations

�� As we made
our way to the hospital, it occurred to me, I haven�t come up with a way to
make myself strong enough to beat Sauske.�
I�m not sure who would have the strength to help me train myself to that
level.� But maybe I won�t have to find
someone; maybe Kakashi will know someone I can beg to train me.

�� We made our
way through the doors of the hospital, Sakura led the way, a smile on her face
as she greeted people she knew and possibly worked with.� Somehow the environment was calming, if a
little bland.� Maybe it�s because Sakura
works here, I�m not sure, but something about this place reminds me of her
smile, simple, calming and healing.

�� Sakura
didn�t even need to ask where Kakashi�s room was, she simply led the way.� I felt a pang of guilt that I didn�t have
that information as well.� I probably
should have visited him more.� I haven�t
really been the best student or teammate when it comes to Kakashi.� As Sakura led us down the hallway, I couldn�t
help rubbing my cheek the sting of my guilt melding with the slap and clawing
Sakura had gave me.� It didn�t seem to
get any better as we entered his room; it seemed almost to hurt more when I saw
him as he lay in bed.

�� He looked
up from his book at the three of us, his face as neutral as ever.� �So you must be the new member of the
team.� Sai was it?� It�s nice to meet you.�� He gave a short wave with his one free hand,
not looking up from his book.

�� Thank you.�� Sai�s reply was simple and polite, however it
sounded difficult to say over the swelling and bruises growing on his face. It
made me feel good that he was made uncomfortable for insulting Sakura like he
did.� But in a small way I was saddened
that he had to endure that pain.� But it
was a very small part of me that felt
that way.

�� Kakashi
called Sakura over to him; he hid their faces with his book and started to
whisper a question to her.� I though I
overheard something about a fight, and a bad temper, and surprises.� I was scared for a second that he was going
to ask her if she got mad and hit both of us, but her reply was simple, if not
with a hint of nervousness.� �Oh no, we�re
all good friends, it was nothing really.��
Was she sweating?� She was nervous about her reply!� Oh no, he did ask if she beat us.� Well, it is the truth, but still, you should
never ask her about it.� But thankfully he seemed to buy the answer
and leave it be.

�� Oh, well
that�s good then, every thing is okay then.��
Kakashi gave one of his smiles at the three of us, and Sakura just
laughed off her nervousness.� But then
her cheer seemed to fall from her face, she looked up at me and I could see the
disappointment and fear on her face.

�� Naruto-�
She didn�t even look me in the eye, she was on the verge of collapse, she
wanted to tell Kakashi about our mission, but she couldn�t handle it.� She was pleading with me, if without words,
to tell him about our failure.

�� Kakashi,
we uh-� I couldn�t keep my head up.� �We,
our mission that is, we didn�t-� He seemed to stop reading his book at this
point and sighed.

�� I�ve
already heard about it from Yamato, about Sauske and everything.�� He seemed sad almost, open and
unguarded.� The silence was deafening,
each of us avoiding looking into the eyes of another.

�� We don�t
have a lot of time left.� At this rate,
in just a bit longer he�ll-� I couldn�t say it.�
I couldn�t say that we are running out of time before that bastard snake
takes Sauske�s body.� I was on the verge
of tears by this point.� �And at the
level he�s at, well he�s too strong for us.�
We don�t stand a change at bringing him back at the level we�re at
now.� He�s too strong for us.�� He�s too damn
strong.� Too fast for us to catch!� Damnit this is getting us nowhere, I should
just ask Kakashi to train us.� To train
us harder than we�ve ever pushed ourselves before.

�� Well in
that case, all you have to do is become stronger than him, right?�� He knows
we need to get stronger.� He has a plan,
and it�s a good one too.� He knows we
need to train and already has ideas on how to do so.� This is good, we�re becoming prepared.� We can do this.

�� Then Sakura
spoke up.� �But I was talking with Lady
Tsunade, and she and I agree.� He�s
gotten far too strong far too fast to be normal.� I�m not sure how he�s done it, be it
forbidden jutsus or if Kabuto has been using drugs throughout his
training.� And even with these books,
there�s no way for me to be sure what he�s done to his body.�

�� Kakashi
turned the page then looked up at me.�
�Well in that case all you need to do is become stronger than him at a
faster rate.�� He returned his gaze to
his book.� But why would he look to
me?� Am I the one he thinks that can
bring him back?� What is his plan?

�� Yeah but
how?�� Sakura sounded desperate.� I think she�s as confused as I am as to where
Kakashi is going with this.

�� You guy
don�t think I�ve been laying about sleeping all the time have you.� I�ve been thinking, the whole time I�ve been
thinking about our situation, and I�ve come up with something.�� A coy smile seemed to form behind his
mask.� He looked up at me.� He looked me straight in the eye with that
smile on his face, and it scared me.�
�Still, the method I had in mind is nest for someone like Naruto.�� Like me?�
He has a way to train like I would?�
This is good; we�ll get Sauske back next time!� �Actually, I should say that it�s more like
something only Naruto can do.� Heh, with this training Naruto, you might
surpass me in a manner of speaking.�

�� I can�t
believe it.� I could become stronger than
Kakashi.� Stronger than Sauske.�
�Surpass you?� I could surpass you Kakashi?�

�� Yup.�

�� We were
speechless.� How could I ever be able to
surpass Kakashi?� He�s always been
stronger than me, smarter than me, hell you name it he�s better than me at it.

�� During
this training you�ll be with me the whole time.�
And this will be different than any other form of training you�ve ever
gone through so far.�� He was dead
serious about this.� What would we be
doing?

�� What will
we be doing then?�� I couldn�t hide the
nervous tint that was in my voice.� Here
I was being offered the most intense training ever developed.� And it was all for me.� It was so I could complete the goal I set out
on all those years ago.

�� Kakashi
forgot his book and stared into my soul with his one open eye.� �I�m going to help you to develop an ultimate
ninjutsu to call your own.�� I was
speechless.� Kakashi was going to help me
create a brand new attack.� Something no
one has seen before.� I�m going to have a
new ace in the hole to use against Sauske, something he won�t be ready
for.� �In other words, we are going to
have you acquire a new ninjutsu even greater than rasengan.� But to gain such a power it is going to take
an enormous amount of time and effort.�
It�s not like some hero from a book or story, where he learns some all
powerful strength overnight.� And this is
completely different than learning the rasengan.� It�s not like you are learning a move that
has been created and perfected before.�
You are going to create a new
move.�

�� A Massive
amount of time?� We just finished telling
you that we don�t have time as a
luxury.� We need to get stronger now!�

�� Yeah but I
found a way to do so in a fraction of the time.�
So what might have taken years, you could do in a matter of days, maybe
weeks.�� He was grinning under his mask,
and I was shocked.� He has an answer to
everything.� A way to get a year�s worth
of work done in days!

�� But
how?�� I had to ask him, I want to know.� If I can get that much training in such a
short time, how do I do it?

�� Well you
see-�
