Don't own Naruto

"Dump 'em here boss?" A man dressed in all black called back to the car waiting for him.

A hand came out of the rear window and waved at the man, giving him the 'Go ahead', grunting with effort, the man hefted a barrel and poured a substance in to the lake, sighing with relief when it was empty, throwing the barrel to the side, the man the returned to the car.

"Are you sure this is a good idea, Boss?", the man asked as he started the car.

"Do I pay you to think?" Gato growled, "Besides the man who owns this doesn't come out here anymore, he's to old."

The man didn't ask anymore questions, just started driving the car away from the now polluted pond.

:]

I stared at the murky water in shock, "Um...Lee?"

The bushy browed boy stood from putting his green towl and sandles down, "Yes, Naruto?"

"Are we seriously swimming in that?", I pointed at the murky pond infront of us, "I mean, you can't even see the bottom!"

"Not scared are ya, Na-Ru-To?" Kiba mocked, "It's just a little dirty water, we're boys, we can handle it!"

Lee laughed, "Yeah, Naruto, it's ok, Gai-sensei said it was just a hole he dug in his spring time of youth and it just filled with water over the rain season, so it's probably the cleanest water you'll ever get!", with that the athletic boy ran and jumped in causing a splash of water to hit me making me shout out in shock.

"Oi, Bushy-brow, watch it!", I growled.

"If Lee says its ok-!", Kiba ran after the other teen and jumped in, again causing another splash of water to hit me.

"Damnit! Fine!", finally giving in to the chants and chicken calls I ran and jumped in.

I sighed and made my way to my living room, now carrying three bottles of tea, "Here.", I threw the bottles at the two other people in the room.

Shikamaru sat up fro his laying position on the floor, "Thanks Sasuke.", He grabbed the bottle in mid-air, opening it and drinking deeply before he layed back down, with a sigh.

Gaara caught the bottle and sipped silently, before he continued to stare at the T.V, I sat on the couch by Gaara, drinking from my own bottle.

"What's on?", I asked after a minute of silence.

"Dunno, Gaara turned it on and just started to stare."

Shikamaru said with a sigh "Troublesome."

We waited for another couple of minutes, knowing we couldn't win the remote out of Gaara's hand if we tried, after some insane man screamed about some sale on matresses the show finally came back on. It was the news.

I knew instantly why Gaara was so intent on watching the news, Lee must've been missing, I noticed the house has been quiet lately. I just thought Naruto had taken Lee and Kiba off somewhere, apparantly not.

I glanced over to Shikamaru to see if my suspicion was right, and was suprised when he actualy sat up and trained his eyes on the screen. He actually looking intrested, a little worried now, I looked at the screen also.

Today on Kohona 9 News, a report of illegal nuclear waste in The Might Gai personal pond, later resulting in hospitalising three boys, Naruto Uzumaki, Rock Lee and Kiba Inuzak. There are rumors that a Man by the name of Gato ordered the dumpage to take place there, but that accusation was later denied. The three boys are now under the care of our best doctors and we have not been told of when they will be released.

On a lighter note...

Our reaction was instant. "My car." Gaara ordered, getting up and heading to my door, letting me and Shikamaru follow at a fast pace.

I glared at the woman, trying to scare the doctor into letting us pass, "What do you mean we can't see them?"

"I-I'm sorry, Uchiha-sama, but Dr. Tsunade made it clear-"

"You don't have to re-explain it to them, Nurse, go help the others." A woman ordered, glaring at us, "Uchiha."

"Tsunade, explain to us why we can't go and see our friends." I ordered, glaring right back at her, daring her not to let me pass.

"Don't you get it Uchiha? They're radioactive, if we let you close to them, you could catch whatever they have!"

"What exactly do they have." Gaara asked, his teal eyes trained on the double doors behind her.

Tsunade sighed, "We don't know yet, but they could have anything ranging from cancer to a new thumb..."

We all trained our eyes on the woman in panic, "You can do something, right, Tsunade-sama?" Shikamaru asked, sounding like a little boy hopeing his dog wouldn't die.

Tsunade sighed, "We can only wait and hope."

I felt my world slowly crumble, and hearing Gaara and Shikamaru's growl, I bet their's was too.
