The Second Critter

Synopsis
Before the Demon Brothers can kill Naruto, Sasuke steps in and stops them. They turn their attention to Tazuna, and Sakura comes to his defense. Before they brothers can land an attack, Kakashi appears and neutralizes them, having only pretended to be killed so he could see who their target was. Obvious that protecting Tazuna is going to be more complicated than the C-rank mission they were assigned, Kakashi considers going home. Naruto, angry with himself for freezing up, demands that they complete the mission no matter how complicated it may become, vowing to never step down from a challenge.
