=======================
Naruto: CMON pervy sage, when can we go back to the village, I AM SICK OF WAITING HERE.... plus the only reason we are here is cause you want to spy on women....

Jiraya: shut up kid....this is important research!

--------------------------------
Kakashi: I have no idea where naruto is, i only know he is in safe hands, i can not tell who though..... but *closes book but hold his page with his thumb* i gotta file important paper work about the...... damages done to Konoha.... *disapears in a puff of smoke*

Rock Lee: SAKURA! It is a pleasure to see the blossom of Konoha! I am a little confused though.... where is Gai sensei.... i was on a mission abroad and was going to meet him outside the village for 5,000 sit ups, 5,000 punches and whoever was the slowest had to run 5,000 laps..... I ran 5,000 laps out of curtisy.... i would have lost to him anyways, he is Konoha's green beast after all..... sakura?

Lee: *eyes become watery, he shakes the tears from his eyes* no, No,... NO, GUY IS THE GREAT BEAST OF KONOHA, HE WOULD NEVER BE DEFEATED. HE IS GREATER THEN YOUR KAKASHI SENSEI! Your playing a mean trick sakura and i wont fall for it..... If you will not tell me i will just go ask someone else.... *turns to walk away*

{all three shinobi and akamaru stand where the akatsuki stood when they dissapeared}

Kiba:[scratches head] I don't get it the trail just stops right here nothing got left behind, no threads, hair, nothing to track them by.
Shikamaru: What a drag i guess we'll have to wait for them to come back, not that i have a problem with it.
Asuma:[lights a cigarette] Unfortunately he's right we should wait until they make another appearence so we can hopefully catch them.
Kiba: Yeah...
Shikamaru: Hey Asuma sensei since we're just going to sit around how a bout a game of Go?
Asuma: I'd rather play Shogi but Go is fine.
Kiba: Right you two go play your game Akamaru and i are going home for now. [gets on akamaru's back and leaves]
Asuma/Shikamaru: [leave to play Go]

Unnamed Member returns to Konoha to keep and eye on what's happening. Notices Asuma and Shikamaru. Follows them silently, keeping a far distance between them.

yeah...happy now spencer?? lol

In tears, Lee was walking past most of the stores in the village towards the gate,eyes watering. He didnt want to accept what had happened. His emotions and thoughts started to cloud and couldnt think of anything besides sakura's words, -flashback- "Lee, I dont know how to tell you this really, I dont...He's gone...Gai-Sensei died fighting with the Akatsuki", -end of flashback-. Tears began to fill and flow over his face. He was so out of contact with reality he had realized he had been mindlessly been walking out of the village. He continued walking in his dazed state of mind until he saw a single leaf fall, oh the memories that filled his mind of his sensai,the green beast, who had taught him so many amazing things and who always helped him go the extra mile. As the leaf fell all his memories if his sensai were like a books pages in motion in his mind and where flipping past one another and before the leaf fell his last memory had appeared in his mind...when the leaf finally fell completely so did the memories, as if his book of wonderful memories was being stolen from him. He run from the area crying, GUY-SENSAI!!!!, he then stumbled upon kakashi reading his book.
