Adventure of the Three Islands
Chapter 1
The Hidden Leaf Village
It was another peaceful day for the village hidden in the leaves, or as peaceful as it could be considering all the noisy people living there. (Naruto) As usual at this time of day the current hokage looked out of the window with distain, " I need a drink. This is way to much paperwork..." She stood up and started walking towards the door.
"Tusunade!" "Where do you think you're going?" Shizune yelled as she ran in and blocked the door.
"Isn't that "obvious Shizune? I'm going to get a drink and maybe gamble a bit."
"No. You have to stay here and finish this paperwork because if you don't you be stuck doing all of tomorrows as well as todays, then you'll be in an even worse mood. And plus you never just gamble a bit!"
"Sheesh lighten up a bit. You need to go drinking with me sometime. You're getting way too uptight..."
Shizune sighed, exasperated. "I can't, I'm too busy babysitting you."
"Fine fine I'll get back to work but you're buying next time I go drinking," She smirked. "and I drink a lot." Tusunade sat down at her desk and looked through her files while Shizune stood at the door watching her like a hawk. Hmmm. Weird I don't remember this being here... She picked up a mission file. She read the file and smiled mischievously. Who said I can't have fun at work? Still I might get scolded by Shizune if she finds out... she tapped her fingers on her desk and closed her eyes. In all this peace certain ninjas are bound to get lazy plus this could be interesting. "Alright! Then it's decided. Shizune I need a few ninjas for this mission."
Finally she's doing some work. Shizune smiled happily. "Hai!"
The Ichiraku Ramen Shop
"Yosh! Ramen please."
"Coming right up Naruto." laughed Teuchi.
Naruto sitting at his usual place next to Choji was, as usual going about his business just like every other day. (which included eating ramen) As Naruto was just polishing off his third bowl of ramen Choji spoke up.
"Ha. Three bowls? That's all you can eat? Weak Naruto... weak. Meanwhile Choji had just finished eating all of his seven large bowls of ramen.
"Eh? Who're you calling weak?" Naruto sneered.
Choji laughed haughtily, "You. I thought you loved ramen."
"I do! But I just had...uh ramen for breakfast so I'm not that hungry." shouted Naruto defiently.
Choji laughed again, "Excuses, excuses."
"Fine," yelled Naruto, "let's fight it out then. You thinkin what I'm thinkin Choji?" Naruto grinned as he elbowed Choji in the side.
"Hell yeah!" "Ramen eating contest!"
They both ate ramen at a super human rate, but Choji was slowly gaining speed. "Rea-dy to gi-ve up y-et Nar-u-to?" Choji said between slurping.
"He-ck no I won't lose t-o a fat as-" Said Naruto while stuffing his mouth as fast as he could.
Choji's eyes glowed furriously red and he started slurping noodles 10times the speed he was just a moment ago. "What was that Naruto?" said Choji as he finished his 18 bowls of ramen. "Looks like I won. So you have to pay for my ramen." Choji ran off.
Naruto groaned and laid down on the ground with his stomache bulging out. "Stupid Choji." Naruto grumbled. Then a sudden shadow coverd his eyes.
"Ah what a drag...get up Naruto we're needed for a mission." Stated Shikmaru as his head blocked out the sun.
"Shikamaru!" Shikamaru was standing above him with his hands in his pockets. Naruto got up despite his gaining 20pounds.
"...Naruto? ...Nevermind." I'm better off not knowing whats happened here.
Naruto grinned at his friend and put his hands behind his head. "Shikamaru whats the mission?"
"I don't know yet we'll be breifed when we report in I guess." "What a drag..." Shikamaru sighed and started walking towards the training grounds.
"Shikamaru where 're you going? It's the other way..." Asked a confused Naruto.
"Go on a head Naruto I still have a person I need to get."
"Ok then," Naruto smiled goofily "see yah later Shikamaru." Naruto ran off magically losing 20pounds as he went.
Training Grounds
Hinata was training again despite everything shes been through with Pain. I've got to try harder to get stronger. Byakugan! Silence filled the air. There! she jumped into the trees and used her gental fist to break the moving dumbies, hidden in the trees, in half. Then she moved on to taijutsu. She kicked flipped and dodged fake enimes. She went through a few prctice runs and landed perfectly. She sighed. It would be so much easier to train if she had a partner but everyone's busy. I can't ask Shino or Kiba because they're busy, and I can't ask Neji because he's on a mission with Tenten, a-and I can't p-possibly ask N-Naruto. I bet training with Naruto would be fun though... She sat down in the grass. "At least it's a nice day today." It was indeed very sunny but not too hot with barely any clouds. "There's even a breeze." Hintana sighed happily. Then a sudden shadow appeared. She looked up. "E-eh? O-oh it's you Shikamaru."
"We're needed for a mission and I was told to bring you." Said a bored looking Shikamaru.
"A-alright." Hinata got up and dusted herself off. As they were walking Hinata asked, "Um. Do y-you know what the mission is about?"
"Nope." replied Shikamaru lazily. They walked silently listening to the soft breeze the rest of the way.
Lady Tusunade's Office
"N-naruto's c-coming?" Hinata asked shakingly.
"Yep." Shikamaru said.
"Well as you know I asked you to come here for a special mission-" Tusunade said slowly as she entertwined her hands and placed them on top of her desk.
"Hehehe. So what's our mission? Do we get to battle? Look for tresure? Yosh! It's been a while since I've been on a mission!" Naruto shouted gleefully.
Naruto's excited rambling was abruptly cut off by Tusunade hitting Naruto in the head with a book. "SHUT UP AND I'LL EXPLAIN!"
"What'd ya do that for old lady?" Naruto complained as he rubbed his head.
"Who're you calling old lady ya stupid spiky haired punk!" Screached Tusunade. Shikamaru just rolled his eyes as Hinata just laughed nerously. After a few more insults were passed and a few more books were thrown things seemed to calm down. "Well ok as I was saying this is a special mission. Theres an old chinese legend about a magic mirror."
"Is it as old as you?" Naruto said spitefully." GRAH!" Naruto laid passed out on the floor with the corner of a book sticking out of his head.
"Anyway apparently a man by the name of Gin Hatakaru claims to own it and there has been proof that it's real but no one knows what it does. It's said to be very powerful. Your mission is to track it down and take it back here, unharmed, so we can study it."
So basiclly they're sending us on a wild goose chase. "What a drag..." Shikamaru mumbled.
Tusunade held up a book, "What was that Shikamaru? Have complaints?"
"No but there's something off about this mission..."
Tusunade slammed her hand on her desk. "Gin is located in a remote area near the mountains south of here. It should be one days journey. Also if you get the mirror be careful handling it because we don't know what it does. This is a C ranked mission. Shikamaru you are the leader of this group and I expect a full report on your findings wen you get back."
"What? Shikamaru's the leader again?" Naruto stood up and pulled the book out of his head which sent a stream of blood down his face.
"N-n-naruto y-your head is b-bleeding."
"I'm fine," he grinned.
"B-but you're losing a-alot of b-blood."
"I'm fine, this won't hurt me..." Crash.
"A-ah he f-fainted a-again." stamerd Hinata.
"Ok. I think we're good to go. Hinata let's head out." Shikamaru stopped and just stared at Tusunade for a moment. She has this look about her like she's planning something. What's she up to?
"B-but N-naruto..."
"It's ok when he wakes up he can come." Shikamaru walked out as Hinata slowly followed looking behind at Naruto.
Tusunade said, "Don't worry Hinata I'll deal with him," she cracked her knuckles, "go ahead he'll catch up soon, I promise."
To be continued...
Just saying, but I feel bad for Naruto :D (but at the same time I'm laughing at him on the inside)...and sorry if the characters seemed occ. Yes there will be romance but the story won't be completely centered around it. For the people who R&R, I give you a cookie. (Btw I am open to suggestions and critism) so until next time!
