Chapter: 3 + 4

naruto and sakura had been out for a while when sakura asked:
"shouldn't we go back?"
"why, sensei kakashi already does that."
"I'm still worried, after all, both sensei kakashi and sasuke said that the guys are very strong. what do you think when they will come?"
"I don't know, but don't worry, I'm here !!" _ He felt sakura's hand again ..

on the edge of the gorge, where naruto had seen kakashi, kiba and sasuke the last time

sasuke had just got rid of this kai when he noticed that something was wrong. All of a sudden, kiba was no longer there twice, but only once. Suddenly he saw Shuja throwing a small bundle of fur over the edge of the gorge. Akamaru !!! kiba couldn't help him because he was busy with 5 shuja doubles. sasuke bundled his chakra in his feet and jumped as far as he could after akamaru. he got hold of it too, but then noticed that the other end of the gorge, a huge rock face, was racing towards him.at the last moment he threw himself around and hit his back quite painfully against the rocks and disappeared into the darkness of the canyon.
kakashi and kiba had seen it but couldn't help him. kakashi was inattentive for a moment and received a deep, painful stab from ray kunai. he groaned heavily and went down on his knees. he pressed his hand against the wound and it was immediately covered in blood.
"You have gotten better," he managed, gritted.
"Thank you, not you. Now you get back that you failed us 4 years ago.", Ray said in a gleeful voice.
Kiba realized that he had to help his sensei, but how he would not be able to defeat this guy. there was also shuja. he bit his hand to calm himself down. he had to risk it. he used the "teeth that tear everything apart". It was very difficult alone, but Shuja was inattentive for a moment. he took advantage of that. he first put the doppelgangers and then shuja himself out of action.he was about to come to kakashi to help when he made a reluctant movement. kiba stopped.
"He's too strong for you alone," moaned the jonin.
"He's not alone anymore," they heard a voice from behind Ray. he wanted to drive around, but too late. sasuke incapacitated him with a strong blow on the neck. he thought at least, ray had used the jutsu of exchange and was now standing behind kakashi unharmed and knocked him unconscious on his part. and took the snow crystal out of his pocket.
"And now? What do you do if I just throw your sensei into the abyss, or should I put it to him beforehand," he took a new kunai out of his pocket, "torment a little?" Kiba had stopped dead and dared too not one step further. sasuke thought hard, but couldn't think of anything sensible. he could just attack, but then kakashi-sensei would have to believe in it. on the other hand, he couldn't do anything either.there was only one possibility: blind.
"do you think I wouldn't attack?"
"not when I have your sensei."
“oh yes.” there was a pause.
"Yeah and I think I'll finish there ..."
"Let go of him and nothing will happen to you!", kiba intervened.
"never and as already said: END !!!!!!!!!!" with these words he struck with the kunai, at the same moment kiba and sasuke attacked. but they didn't reach their sensei in time, ray pushed him down into the gorge. he busted, because shortly afterwards he was lying in the snow with his comrades without even being able to lift a finger. but he was spared the boys had something else to do.

after a one day march through the gorge near naruto and sakura

they had finally reached the end of the gorge and kakashi was right, because they could already see siku-gakure and neither of them could suppress a cheer.the last 1000 meters they walked very easily. at the village she didn't even want to let the guards in. but when they explained why they were traveling without their sensei, they were admitted. they got dry clothes and a nice warm noodle soup (which naruto was most happy about). then they were led to the head of the village, where they had to tell the whole story again.
"That's worrying," said the man called heto.
"why?" asked sakura worried.
"Because these three guys, they are also simply called Team Ice, killed 10 of our men a few days ago.
"!!!!!!!!" sakura and naruto were speechless.
"We will definitely send our men out to help you."
"Hopefully nothing happened to you !!" .....

back to sasuke and kiba, who were meanwhile descending into the gorge

"I can already see the ground," said kiba who climbed under Sasuke. "Oh, by the way, thank you for saving akamaru."
"fits again.now we just have to see that sensei kakashi is saved too. ", said sasuke, while he looked down. 5 meters above the ground he let himself fall and landed surprisingly heavily on his feet, so that he suddenly sat on his bottom in the snow. while kiba was still climbing a bit, sasuke clearly noticed how weak he was he was out of the fight, he had used up all of his chakra.
kiba immediately hurried over to akamaru, whom sasuke had placed on a flat rock. Sasuke, on the other hand, hurried over to his sensei, which was lying a few meters away, twisted in the snow. he didn't look good at all, he had probably broken some bones and the wounds on his right shoulder and left side were still bleeding. kiba took akamaru under his jacket and helped sasuke bring kakashi to a cave not far away. there they took care of kakashi's injuries and then those of akamaru.
“What should we do now?” asked Kiba, rather discouraged."we have to get help." said sasuke. "maybe I should go to siku."
"but what if the guys come back? i don't think i can stop them. i'm leaving"
sasuke made a small fire with his fire jutsu and put kakashi next to it with kiba's help. soon after, kiba said goodbye to sasuke, not without first accepting a promise that sasuke would take care of akamaru.
