Chapter 2 -The Mission begins

The five genins continued their journey to the Village that requested konoha's aid in location of the missing people from their village, also to check out the strange rumors going around.

"Umm Kakashi-sensai, do you know anything more about what kind of rumor's are going around in this village we're heading to and also what village we're going to for that matter?" Sakura asked as she walked along side him with Naruto, Sai, and Hinata behind them.

"We're going over the mountains to the south which we'll arrive at tomorrow morning, and it's called Unmei Village, and we should get to the village tomorrow afternoon," Kakashi answered.

"And the rumor's sensai?" Sakura questioned.

"Well apparently theirs rumors of a strange figure appearing in the mountains just north of the village ..." he stopped talking as he looked over at Naruto for a second with the corner of his eye then continued "the figure is said to have a strange red glow around it", he finished. And just as he had finished, it caught Naruto's attention like he knew it would.

"A red glow Kakashi-sensai?" Naruto looked up at him and said in shock "I wonder if it's demon chakra's like kyuubi's?" Naruto questioned himself as he continued walking. "Apparently the glow attracts the men and women in the village to it where they just disappear and never come back, which is why we're heading their to locate and rescue if necessary anyone we can find," Kakashi continued.

As they continued thier walk Hinata was thinking about the red glow "Umm, k-kakashi-sensai the red glow, do you think it m-might be some kind of j-jutsu?" Hinata questioned as Sai gave a nod as he was thinking the same thing "It might be Hinata but we cant be sure until we get thier and investigate, I'm more concerned about the missing men seeing how this stuff started a week ago," Kakashi answered.

"A week ago Kakashi-sensai? I would think the people would of called on us earlier then that," Naruto exclaimed in a shocked expression.

"Well apparently they are so scared of the red glow because in thier history it was the kyuubi who lived in those mountains that they were reluctant to send someone across it to reach us, one of them did manage to get to us but unfortunately he was sent immediately to konoha's hospital," Kakashi responded.

"How come?" Naruto asked as he looked over to his three friends seeing them wanting to know why they weren't escorting him back.

"Well, before he got to us he ran into some bandits and he got beat up pretty badly from what I was told before meeting you four at the gate," Kakashi said.

"How badly? I would think baa-san could of healed him no problem," Naruto asked.

"He died before Tsunade-sama could get to him," Kakashi answered as he pulled his book back out after answering thier questions and turned a page. "Although I would like to avoid it if possible I would not like to run into the bandits and get to the village quickly, something wasn't right about the man's injuries Tsunade told me about before we left," Kakashi thought.

-Flashback-

"Kakashi I would like to show you something before you meet your team," Tsunade said as kakashi followed her.

They went through a door and kakashi saw a covered body on a bed, "He was the one who came with the request for our aid in the village, unfortunately he was ambushed by what I would guess was bandits but take a look at his injuries," Tsunade said.

Kakashi took a closer look and you could see his eyebrow rise alittle, "Is that purple chakra coming out of the wound?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes, it is and it would appear it didn't come from the bandits, I would say it was already in him before they ambushed him," Tsunade said with a frown.

She looked back up at kakashi "I want you to keep a close eye on Naruto through out this mission if possible, something about this doesn't sit well with me and the fact the client requested us near a location where the Kyuubi's den used to be doesn't make me feel comfortable ethier," Tsunade said with an even deeper frown.

"Hai, Tsunade-sama!" He responded before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

-End of Flashback-

When the team reached their campsite they all set set up camp, Naruto volunteered to take first watch, kakashi will take last watch, they planned on taking a short break since it was a smooth walk so far and kakashi didn't detect any trouble nearby so far but were keen to get to the village as fast as possible.

Naruto was sitting on a rock staring out towards the moutain's just ahead of them, he was still thinking about the red glow kakashi-sensai was talking about "Could the glow really have something to do with the Kyuubi maybe?" he wondered questionably.

"N-Naruto, i-is everything a-alright?" Hinata asked as she approached him.

"Hai, just got something on my mind thats all Hinata..." Naruto was saying before he saw something towards the mountains he was staring at earlier, thier was a slight purple glow in the western part of the mountain that immediately caught his attention.

"Kakashi-sensai, do you see that?" Naruto suddenly gasped out while pointing at the glow catching the rest of the team's attention who looked at where he was pointing to see the same thing.

"Kakashi-sensai, what is that?" Sakura and Sai both asked while looking at the glow.

"I dont know, Naruto I want you and Hinata to go and scout it out, but use caution" Kakashi ordered.

"Hai Kakashi-sensai, I'll send you a clone if anything happens or if I find out anything," Naruto said, at Kakashi nod Naruto and Hinata sped off towards the glow.

"Why are you only sending those two Kakashi-sempai?" Sai asked as he walked to stand next to him.

"Because, we still need to get to the Village and investigate the disappearance's and those two have good resources for investigating that glow both stealthly and fast," Kakashi explains and Sai nods at the logic.

"Anyways lets get going you two we need to get to the village soon," the three pick up camp and start running towards the village.

The three reached the village around mid-morning and the sight that greeted them was shocking to them all.

"Wh..what happened here?" Kakashi said to himself as he stared out into the village.
