"Ugh…"
"Why are you here?"
"Naruto Uzumaki, Shinobi ID Number 012607"
*whap*
"Your life would be a lot easier right now if you would just answer me, Uzumaki-san"
I couldn't help but groan again as I spit the blood that had been pooling in my mouth out onto the floor beside me. This guy knew better than to stand too close, it would've ended up on his face otherwise. I couldn't help but look up and give him a smirk as I repeated myself for the millionth time today.
"Naruto Uzumaki, Shinobi ID Number 012607"
He gave me another punch to the gut before turning around and walking out of my cell, locking the door as he left. I assume at this point it was just for his sake, he should've known I wasn't giving him a damn thing. Didn't matter anyway our plan had went to shit, this was Plan B, sometimes the enemy will do the infiltration part of the mission for you if they think you're their prisoner, I never was too great at stealth, we use Plan B a lot.
I think i've only been locked up in here for about an hour which means the cavalry should arrive fairly soon, now I just have to be patient… Damnit I've never been the patient one…
I let out a sigh as I looked up at the ceiling of my cell,
"Where is he..?"
Sasuke
"Where is he…?"
This Plan B of his was getting old. As funny as Naruto getting his ass kicked is I'd prefer it if he would just not get caught in the first place. He's always been too loud.
I turned another corner and finally walked up to a door that had the word "holding" written on a sign above it, these guys always felt the need to advertise where they kept their prisoners, I never saw the point in that.
Couldn't help but let out a sigh as I made my way over to his cell and saw him through the bars, armor stripped off, with a black eye and blood dripping down his chin. I had to resist the urge to punch him myself as I untied him from the chair
"Come on, Idiot, you're helping me move these bodies"
He gave me that same stupid grin he always does and just nodded his head. It was time to head out.

It was always funny to see how irritated Sasuke got when he had to come save me, he never complained outright but you can tell by the look on his face what he's thinking, well, at least I can, The three of us have been together for a while. Speaking of the third i was currently sitting on the ground in front of her. Sakura was healing my messed up face, scolding me the whole time, It's nice though, you know? It's her way of showing she cares.
"- isn't that right, Naruto?"
At this point in her tirade we were well into our way home, the base we were sent to infiltrate was quickly taken care of by some well-placed fire jutsu by Sasuke.
"Yeah, Sakura, you're right, I should've just gotten out myself this time. Then you wouldn't have to worry."
She stiffened at that, it was the same reaction as always, like you had just touched her with hot iron, or dropped a piece of ice down the back of her shirt, she knew I was just teasing, but she also knew how I felt about her, hell, everyone did.
Sakura and I have a somewhat strange relationship, I've had a crush on her since we were both kids and she's always known, I've never exactly hidden it, that's not my style. But regardless of knowing she's never seen me in the same light as I've seen her, I've always been more of an annoying brother to her than boyfriend material, you learn to live with it after a while. She always shot me this all knowing, dirty look after I attempted to flirt with her, it was adorable.
"So anyways," She was always quick to changed the subject afterwards too, "We should all go out to get something to eat after we get back to the village, what do you guys say? It's been a while since we've all gone out somewhere nice"
I nodded my head in the affirmative and Sasuke gave his usual grunt of approval while smirking a bit.
We spent the next hour in silence, I think we all just wanted to be home, there's something about a three day operation that just takes it out of you, it's not short like a one-and-done assassination and it's not long enough for you to get comfortable like the week-long missions we get sometimes, maybe it's just me, I've always hated 3 day missions…
We went through our usual routine, check in at the gate and say hi to the guys there, make fun of Kotetsu and Izumo for always getting the boring jobs, go to the tower, report to our commander, Danzo, and then from there go our separate ways home. We had made it back around 17:00 hours that afternoon and since it was Autumn that meant that the sun was already starting to descend. Just enough time left in the day to go home, clean up, and meet again that evening for dinner.
I couldn't wait.
Hello all, this is my first attempt at a story, so please give me some advice on where to improve, Depending on the reception this gets I may upload more frequently, but for now it'll only be about 1 chapter a week, maybe two. The chapters will normally be longer than this one, but his was just the intro chapter to test the waters. Let me know what you guys think!
Thank you for reading!
