Swift Like Ninja; Melty Like…Blood?
Chapter 1: The Mission
This is my first fanfic that involves Naruto or Melty Blood. Sorry if it seems poorly done XD. Btw, this is after the time-skip. (Also, Sasuke is back)
Days at the Leaf Village are a little slow for Naruto and the gang. Missions don't come up as much as they used to. Besides, when they did…it was usually D-Rank missions. Y'know…watering plants, finding lost pets, that kind of stuff. Training sessions don't happen much either since most of the group members are Chunin or higher(the exception being Naruto of course). They mostly just hang out together and walk around the city and surrounding areas. But today was going to be a bit different…Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were walking around the Hidden Leaf Forest…
"OH GOD!!! Will something happen already!?" Naruto yelled to the heavens and to his teammates.
"Give it a rest, you loser" Sasuke said to Naruto coolly but also slightly bored.
"Sasuke's right. Just do us all a favor and get over it" Sakura said slightly annoyed.
"But guys…I don't think I'll make it to see tomorrow if things don't change!" Naruto said after sighing.
"That's EXACTLY what you said yesterday, the day before that, AND the day before that…" Sakura said complainingly to the over-exaggerating ninja.
"Besides, what do you want to happen anyway? Vampires to come to our village?" Sasuke said with laughter in his voice.
"Haha, yeah. Would you like an exorcist and an alchemist to come too, Naruto?" Sakura said while laughing to continue Sasuke's joke.
"Hehe, yeah. And if they came, they could kill Sasuke." Naruto said also laughing
It was only 2 seconds after Naruto said this that he was being strangled; not only by Sakura, but Sasuke too. Soon after they started to kill Naruto…the laziest ninja ever known appears in-front of them with a scroll in hand.
"How troublesome…" Shikamaru said while squatting down into his favorite position while watching Naruto squirm for a good five minutes.
4 min. and 57 seconds later…
"3.…2.…1...Alright, break it up, you three." Shikamaru finally said while breaking up the group after 5 minutes exactly.
"That…was so…close! I owe you one, Shika" Naruto said while trying to regain his breath.
"Call me 'Shika' again…and I will personally kill you." The lazy one said with an annoyed look.
"Sorry, Sorry…won't happen again." Naruto said with his hands up in defense.
"So, Shikamaru…Why are you here?" Sakura asked Shikamaru after calming down.
"Let me guess, there's a 'special mission from the Fifth Hokage that only we can complete', right?" Sasuke asked un-amusingly as if he knows everything in the world.
There's a short silence and Naruto and Sakura stare at Sasuke while confused.
"Just read it…" Shikamaru said while passing the scroll to the know-it-all ninja.
Sasuke, ignoring Naruto, then begins to open the scroll and Naruto, Sakura, and Shikamaru gather around him. It read…
'To answer your question, Sasuke…Yes, it's a special mission, you little know-it-all!' This made Sasuke grunt quietly. No doubt its Tsunade's handwriting…
'There's a wealthy clan coming to our village. They will be staying for a while.'
"So a bunch of spoiled brats are coming to live in our village…who cares!?" Naruto said complainingly.
'Will you just shut up for once, Naruto!? I didn't finish!' The letter written as if Tsunade was talking with them face to face.
"Whatever, Granny." Naruto said quietly while pouting.
"Doesn't this seem a bit strange?" Sakura and Shikamaru thought at the same time while sweatdropping.
'The head of the clan that is coming stated that they have quite a bit of enemies. And I'm counting on you four to be their guards. I will arrange for the others to join this when necessary. They should be arriving tomorrow morning. This mission will be marked as A-Rank. -The Fifth Hokage'
"Finally! A mission! Not only that, it's ranked A." Naruto said happily.
"If Sensei gave us this mission personally, it must be pretty important." Sakura said
analyzing the mission specs.
"Aww, man…How did I get dragged into this!? Such a drag…" Shikamaru said lazily.
"For some reason…I agree with the shirker." Sasuke said while sighing.
"Hmm…Sensei didn't put the name of the clan…" Sakura thinks to herself why Tsunade didn't.
Little did they know…This clan was far from normal. You could say…it's "supernatural"(I couldn't think of a better word than that)…
Here's a preview of the next chapter:
"Its called, The Village Hidden in the Leaf."
"I see…Any idea what it's like?"
"Nee-san said 'It was a village of poor people and ninja.'"
"Coming from her…I'm not sure that's very accurate."
I don't really liked the way this turned out. I wanted to have both series on this chapter. But it turned out to be all Naruto…(My inner Shikamaru told me to just do two different chapters.) Well, the next chapter will be Melty Blood…I hope.
