Chapter 1: How they've changed
The sky was dim as the sun slowly started to set over the horizon. The village hidden in the leaves known as Konoha was preparing for the usual quiet night ahead. After the reported death of Lord Orochimaru things had seemed quiet but for some they new it was the cal m before the storm.
Walking through the streets after yet another dull day at the hospital, Sakura Haruno the pink haired medic-nin ended up standing next to that very stone cold chair that she awoke on one morning after a certain avenger had left. The now 18 yr old would always come to stand at this spot whenever she finished work or returned from a mission. This very spot was the start of her loneliness but also her growth into the young women who had surpassed her sensei the great Tsunadae, the 5th hokage. She wasn't angry at him anymore in fact she wanted to thank him in a way he was the reason she tried to become so powerful. Gazing at the now half risen moon, a tear ran down her cheek one of happiness and sadness.
"SAKURA-CHAN," still wearing the same stupid smile and orange and black uniform, Naruto ran up to Sakura.
Pink hair sitting on her shoulders, longer then when she had cut it but much shorter then her long hair from when she was a gennin. A tight pink bob tube covered by a short black vest, it was never done up and ended just at the end of her ribs. The Haruno family emblem was on the vest not surprisingly. The boob tube ended just above her belly button to show off her tight stomach. Now she only wore an extremely short pair of black shorts. She looked so different from 2 years ago when they had seen Sasuke.
"Oh, hello Naruto," Sakura mumbled. She turned to face him as she wiped that one tear away. Naruto being Naruto hadn't noticed, he hadn't changed one bit and to be truthful she wouldn't have it any other way.
"Granny Tsunadae wants to see you. She said something bout a very urgent solo mission. She was acting really nice to, I didn't know whether to be scared or not. She wouldn't let me go on the mission with you, something to do with me getting in the way." His look was as usual slightly confused but tried to cover it up.
"Ok, I guess I should get going then. I'll see you when I get back ok Naruto don't go and bring Sasuke back without me." She gave him a hug making him blush immensely even though Hinata and he had finally came to there senses. Hinata still had a slight stutter around Naruto but it seemed that being around him all the time when he wasn't away on missions actually boosted her confidence. She released there hug and straight away headed towards the Hokage's office. Naruto well he was hungry as usual and what was on the menu, ramen of course.
"There you are Sakura, what took you so long? Did Naruto stop to have ramen before he saw you? Never mind we have more pressing matters to talk about like your solo mission. I know you are the best in your field of work as a medic but I also know other than Ino you happen to be very seductive. You've grown up Sakura and this is not the first time you've done a mission like this. You will infiltrate a man named Yaiko Asuke's private bar in the Mist. Our source's say he has information on the whereabouts' of Kabuto and many other S-ranked ninja." Tsunadae was suddenly cut off by Sakura.
"So you want me to be a little flirt get him alone use the truth serum you made, get the information, kill him so nobody else get's a hold of it then leave am I correct Lady Tsunadae?" The Hokage just nodded her head and handed the mission details to her apprentice and smiled.
Sakura no longer questioned she just completed the missions she was given even if it turned out to be flirting with a fat guy. As son as she left the office she straight away gathered her back pack and packed it with her black boob tube dress that highlighted everyone of Sakura's perfect feminine curves. She was a ANBU now and she understood her duty to her village not even Sasuke could get an emotion out of her when she's in mission mood. Of course she hadn't seen him in 2 years and she was curious as to what he was doing now that Orochimaru was gone, was he going to finally going to return after Itachi or stay a missing nin.
Looking up into the dark sky was a raven haired Uchiha, the last of his clan. Team Hebi had been travelling for 4 days non stop and still they were two days away from Mist. Still seeking revenge there was only one reason why he was going to the Mist and that was to gather information on the Akatsuki's hideout which Itachi would most likely visit. Karin, Suigutsu and Juugo new exactly was expected of them when they met this man with the information however Karin sometimes just couldn't keep her mouth shut.
"Umm… Sasuke who's the man Kabuto told you about, that we are trying to find?" Karin whispered next to him.
"Yaiko Asuke. I've heard however he doesn't just give out this information, we'll have to make a deal. We can't try beating the truth out of him he may come in handy later on." Sasuke said as he walked over to a tree and leaned against it.
"A deal, what does he want?" she asked him.
"I've heard he likes women with odd hair." Sasuke smirked at het facial reaction she was gonna explode.
"YOU WANT ME TO SLEEP WITH HIM?" she screamed at him.
"Hn." Was all he said as he layed on the ground, "You're first watch out tonight." With that Sasuke drifted to sleep on the ground.
