She called it WHAT?
Summary: It has been relatively peaceful in the village of Konoha since Orochimaru was defeated and even Sasuke achieved his lifetime goal. So, what ace has Tsunade up her sleeves to torture or beloved ninjas? A festival? SasuSaku NejiTen NaruHina ShikaIno
Disclaimer: I am an average German teen. Therefore I don't own Naruto, duh.
A/N: Yeah, it's decided… I do the festival one because that's the only vote I got. So sad… no, I'm okay with this outcome, but I might start a high school or summer camp one, too. I'm just a little dizzy because I've got a sinusitis. Okay, that's all.
N-joy the story!
Chapter 1
We want kunoichis
"Ugh… I hate it… this heat kills me, tebayo!" Uzumaki Naruto groaned wiping his sweat away for the billionth time. "Just stay under these stupid piers like Sasuke-kun and me, Naruto." Sakura said. The seventeen year old looked at her watch. "He is five hours late now. I' m going to freak out if he comes now to dismiss us. I tell you, he is capable of doing so!" The Jounin then told. "Great that you've already told this part, Sakura." A certain other Jounin's voice was heard. Thirty-one year old Hatake Kakashi stood on the highest branch of some tree nearby the bridge. "Naruto, Sasuke, you can go now, but Sakura, you'll have to go to Tsunade-sama." Sakura who was about to go overboard trying to kill her former sensei, stopped surprised. "To shishou? What does she need me for?" She asked astonished. "I've no idea, just go there, it seems the other girls had to go there, too." The elder shinobi declared. "Oh, okay. See you, Sasuke-kun, Naruto!" Sakura waved and disappeared in a cloud of cherry blossoms.
"Ano, Sasuke-teme? What could baa-chan want with all the kunoichis?" Naruto peppered his best friend with questions on their way home. "Hn." The trademark answer came. "You're such an arrogant bastard, Sasuke-teme." The blonde pouted, but suddenly his face brightened up. "Look! Ichiraku! There are some Shikamaru and Neji, without their kunoichis! Let's go see if they have an idea. I'm hungry, by the way." He dragged along the Uchiha who muttered "Dobe!" under his breath repeatedly. "Hey, Shikamaru, Neji! What's up?" The loudmouth greeted. "Nothing. Troublesome old lady has summoned Ino and the other kunoichis, so we got here." The Nara replied lazily. "Oh, and there's the other guys?" The self-proclaimed Rokudaime queried. "On a mission. Special A-rank to find the remaining Akatsuki members." Hyuuga Neji reported in his usual stoic monotone. "Hn. I would rather be on a mission than here." Sasuke piped up. "Me either, Uchiha, but Tsunade-sama wanted to have us here, it seems. I have just heard about this mission fifteen minutes ago when I met Nara here." The white-eyed ninja announced, obviously annoyed about not being informed. "Hey, old man, I'd like pork ramen! Man, I'd like to know about Sakura-chan! She promised to train with me today. I thought about having a two one situation, ne, Sasuke-teme?" The cerulean-eyed Jounin told. "Hn. What about we go to Hokage-sama to ask her what her plans are?" The sole-survivor suggested, totally unlike him. "Hn. We came up with this idea, too, Uchiha, but Shizune-san won't let us in." The long-haired brunette said. "Troublesome. She said we should come back in a hour or so. Hokage-sama would tell us everything then. Have you seen those decorations by the way?" Shikamaru queried. "No, what are they for?" Naruto eyed the festoons and lampions suspiciously. "Maybe some sort of festival." Neji mused, not sounding really concerned. "Hn. Whatever." Sasuke commented.
"Hokage-sama?" Sakura asked as she entered the Godaime's office. "Hello, Sakura, come in. You're all here now, that's good." Tsunade greeted her. "Hi Sakura." Ino, Hinata and Tenten welcomed their comrade in unison. "Would you tell us why we're here, Shishou? I'm confused that you only asked for the kunoichis." The pink haired apprentice informed her master. "Well, well, hold your horses! Have you noticed the decoration outside?" The women in the menopause inquired. "Hai, is there a festival?" Ino guessed curiously. "We're good at comprehending contexts, aren't we, Yamanaka? As expected of my best spy." Tsunade hollered. "That's right, we'll have a festival. And an important one at that." "Why so?" Tenten wanted to know. "You'll see, you are the four best kunoichis of Konoha and you're all single." "E-excuse me, Hokage-sama, but what do you mean by that?" Hinata voiced. "We need strong alliances and therefore I've arranged this festival together with the elders! I've invited the best shinobi from all the other countries and you will end up marrying the one the exams lead you to." The four young women gasped. "You're not in your right mind, Shishou!" Sakura exclaimed. "Yeah, right, forehead-girl! As much as I'd like to do everything for Konohagakure, but that's too much." Ino joined in her best friend's protest. "I agree with them, that's not okay. I refuse doing this mission." Tenten folded her arms. "H-hokage-sama, we all have someone we love.. a-at least I have." Hinata tried to convince the elder woman. "I see, I see… did I mention that there are four candidates from Konoha?" Tsunade grinned arrogantly. "Wait, four candidates… don't tell me…?" Haruno Sakura's emerald orbs widened in amazement. "I see, my clever student has grasped it." The female Sannin smiled mischievously. "Those four are Konoha's strongest shinobi and most-wanted bachelor's: Hyuuga Neji, Nara Shikamaru, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto!" "That means… does it?" Tenten gave the Hokage an imploring look. "I'm not sure, if I read your meaningful look right, but yes, if you'll try hard, you can end up with the person you like the most." The brown-eyed blonde responded. "Okay, I'm in, then." The brunette professed. "Us, too." Sakura and Ino alleged. Hyuuga Hinata nodded: "Hai. Mission accepted." "So it's decided: Haruno Sakura, Hyuuga Hinata, Tenten and Yamanaka Ino! You're assigned to Konoha's festival of harmony and love!" For a moment, there was complete silence in the office, until the four Jounin began to laugh uncontrollably. "Shizune!" The Kage yelled. "Hai, Tsunade-sama?" The assistant appeared. "Get them out and bring me the four males! And make this old pervert think of another name for this festival, sheesh!" She ordered.
"I can't believe it. I'm going to marry!" Sakura stroke a dramatic pose. "We all do, forehead!" Ino cheered. "You're all so sure that you get the certain someone?" Tenten asked in worry. "I t-think we can do this. Oh, hush, there's the b-boys." Hinata warned. "Hey Shikamaru!", Ino greeted. "Troublesome… hi, Ino." "Hello, N-naruto-kun." Hinata stammered. "Eh? Hinata-chan! Sakura-chan!" Naruto waved. "Hi, Sasuke-kun, Naruto." Sakura smiled. "Aa." Sasuke nodded. "Hello, Neji." Tenten was all smiles. "Hn." Neji answered. They were a few steps away, when they heard Naruto's voice from afar. "It better be a big deal!" He shouted. The four girls couldn't help but giggle. Oh, he would get his big deal… he would get it.
How was it? Good? Bad? I'd like to hear your opinion in a review. Oh, and Tsunade will be more sly in the next chapter believe me. And how will the boys react? Is it enough of a big deal for Naruto? What will the guys think if they ear that the girls accepted the mission? Stay tuned!
Bye for now,
Miyu
