Before any of the three ninjas could move out of the forest and head home to the hidden village, there was a streak in the sky and a loud boom from near by signalling that there might be something else coming from the heavens. Kakashi could just sense that whatever it was that had landed in the forest was following after the device that was linked to Sakura in a permanent way. The scarecrow like ninja thought to himself, 'I have to go and check this out, but I have to keep my charges safe if it's trouble.'
Kakashi spoke to the two members of his team as he moved into action, "The two of you stay here and keep hidden until you see me coming back here. I don't want anyone to see you if you can help it. Also don't play around with that bracelet while you're at it. I'll be back as soon as possible." The grey haired man then disappeared in a whirl of leaves that made it seem like he had fade from the sight of the two you students. The two students then moved into the trees and vanished into the greenery.
Kakashi ran with a speed that only a fully trained ninja could managed with their skills in using their chakra in the most effective manner as possible. Following the direction of the crash, he could sense the energy that came from those... things. Things that he had thought that he had put behind him when he left the Anbu special ops and the battles he had with the threats from the stars. Threats like him, the creature that still cause him to shutter at night from the pure evil that he had in his body, second only to the kyuubi. When he reached the source of the crash he kept to the woods to keep from the sight of the device that he saw in that impact site, for rising up from the hole in the ground was a giant machine that was mostly red and black in colour that was moving on it's own.
"Damn, it's one of the mechanical super-puppets. I haven't fought one of those things in years and I'm not sure that I know where to start, if they kept improving these things like they did in my day. It should have some weaknesses to my Lightning Chakra attacks, if I can get pass the shielding that they have to protect them from lightning attacks," Then it was that the one-eyed ninja noticed that it had something missing. "It doesn't have the little flyers that usually comes with the larger puppets, they must have gone out looking for the bracelet already. That means that Sakura and Naruto are in trouble from those two drones if they find them. What I wouldn't give for some back up, but I don't know how long it will be before they send ninjas to check on the two crashes that have occurred."
Kakashi remained in the shadows of the woods as the machine continued to moved towards the village and towards the location that they kids had hidden themselves. The Jonin was looking for the weak spot on the machine that would cause it to collapse, hoping that the genin under his protection would not be spotted.
Meanwhile...
Sakura was trying to keep a low profile while waiting for her teacher to return and tell them that they were out of trouble, which was made a little bit harder as she was hiding with her teammate who was known as one of the loudest ninjas in the entire village. So she was surprise to see Naruto sneaking up behind her, which cause her to jump but she managed to hold back shouts. She grew angry at the fact that she had been surprised by Naruto and took it out on the young man by whispering in a tone that made it seem like she was yelling silently.
"Naruto, what are you trying to do me? What is it that you want?" She looked at him with a glare that only a women could give a man, one that told any man that were about to mess with a whole world of hurt.
"I was just wondering if there is anything we should be doing to help Kakashi-sensei. I don't like to just sit here and wait for trouble to show up." Naruto told her using a whisper of his own. The pink-haired ninja just got frustrated with Naruto, trying to hide the fact that inside she was feeling the same thing.
"Hell ya, I want to be doing something. Especially since I got this new advantage that I can use to kick major butt." Spoke the Inner Sakura that lived inside her.
"Naruto, we don't know what is happening. For all we can tell this is the smartest and best thing we can do..." Sakura said out loud as she tried to justify it both to herself and to her teammate. But she was interrupted by the sound of humming in the air, which cause the two of them to look up. What they saw shocked them as they saw two flying things that seemed to be looking for something. Then their head-like projection moved to look in their direction.
