Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or it's awesome characters. Though some of these characters are my own. And if I did own Naruto everyone would most likely have it their way! But I do not own it.
Sun shined down on the quite, large village of Konoha, piercing through most anything whether translucent or opaque. The not so rookie nine anymore were all melting slowly into the dusty deserted streets waiting to swallow anyone willing to sink to the ground in the heat. The sun bathing every nook and cranny of the village finding it extremley hard to not be near the light.How could anything be out on this day?
Sakura managed a small smile on her face clinging to Sasuke's firm, strong arm trying her best to not be a wimp. Panting softly she glanced up at the dark ninja with a questioning expression. " Sasuke-kun?" She asked.
He gazed down at her a curious look plastered on his face. "Yeah?"
" Who do you think Obaa-Sama is going to send on that mission she mentioned the other day? She made it sound so important.."
" Most likely the strongest ninja in this village. You sound worried about it."
" Hai… I am. That Jounin she mentioned sounds scary…And… the chuunin that's the jounin's prodigy. Sasuke they might be stronger then some of us.."
" No." The boy said shaking the pink haired girl off. A monotonous look on his stern, stole cold face. Sasuke hated when someone said anything about people being stronger then a group of people. It reminded him of the people who feared Itachi. And well he just hated it. Digging the tips of his feet into the ground as he walked a distinctive voice filled his ears, making him even alittle more angrier then Sakura had just made him.
A hurt feeling flooded into the girl's body, deprived of her happiness for only alittle while, this always seemed to happen. She'd finally gotten Sasuke to like her even if not much. He atleast didn't leave her in the dark anymore. Even after the three years Naruto left to train with Jiraiyia she never gave up on him. And she thought maybe that's what made him respect her more. Sasuke's presence always made her feel, like herself. And without him she felt drained not complete.
" OI! Lee, Naruto! Get out of the damned bar!"
" No, No, Naruto-kun!"
" Geez.. Mendokuse.."
Sakura's attention was quickly torn away from her thoughts hearing three familiar voices ring out, and to note, none in harmony ,one musky and on the deep side but not to much, another soft and shy yet very sweet, and the last lazy and really not caring to much.
A huge crash exploded from the ramen shop where now they did sell alcohol. Amazingly Naruto had figured it out today, with Lee.
" AHHH! NARUTO YOU BAKA! "
" Kiba-kun, please d-don't call Naruto-kun that!"
" Aww, Hinata suck it up! I agree with Kiba!"
" Ugg…"
Sakura sighed in annoyance not knowing what happened and is happening. Not realizing Sasuke slip past her she blinked once running over to the crowd. " Hey, hey! Ino-chan whats going on?" She asked.
Ino turned to face her friend a melancholy expression on her face. Her eyes looking deeper in her sockets then usual. Ino hasn't gotten much sleep these last few days worrying over who was going and who wasn't. Having heard from Sakura just the other night when they were cleaning up around the flower shop. Sakura told her how important and dangerous this mission could be. And she hoped it wasn't either of her best friends, Sakura or Shikamaru. But she was still Ino, keeping her spirits as high as possible. She smiled beginning to explain. " Well.. Lee accidentally took a sip of took of sip of Gai's sake once again him being overly excited about having won the brawl he and Naruto had had, Naruto following him immediately did the same not even waiting a second after, and if you are smart you can easily guess what happened next. Kiba's in their practically fighting for his life to control the two, Shikamaru's watching in complete boredom, mainly because Temari is still sleeping at his house.. Umm.. Oh! Hinata feels bad for Naruto. Since they are now dating. And you would to if it was Sasuke. But seriously.. And that's really it. We're just watching Kiba get his ass kicked and Lee and Naruto get their asses kicked. Its quite a show. I'm rooting for Kiba. "
Sakura stared blankly, taking in everything her best friend had said in a matter of only a few seconds due to Ino then starting to rant on about how Kiba's gonna beat their ass's. Though she caught that look on her face. But at the current time their were more important things.
Naruto jumped from table to table, his figure completely shaken and uncontrollable. Kiba tried grabbing him when he jumped but he was slippery. How the hell did he get slippery? Ohh, right. A flash of Naruto pouring water all over his body flooded his once pure mind. Now all he did was shudder in disgust.
" I'M ENJOYING MY YOUTH!" Rock Lee sang out wavering slowly from side to side, a slight redness enveloping his cheeks before noticing the angry Inuzuka.
" Whho the heelz are you?" He sputtered out, hiccupping lightly after his last word.
Kiba's attention turned to Lee watching him stand in a fighting stance. " Ohh..Hell." He grumbled clentching his fists and unclenching them. He didn't want to hurt his friends. Though they both were currently crazed maniacs wrecking the shop. Huffing indignantly he scratched the back of his head, standing in place. He watched silently for a few moments a fresh wave of shock set in on him watching the place go to shreds. He couldn't stop the two. Well maybe Naruto but he wasn't trying as hard as he could. Akamaru was with Hana, his sister at home. Due to him coming down with something so he couldn't train with Kiba for a few days. Every time Naruto jumped onto a table for a period of time it crashed, unable to hold his weight so he couldn't catch a hint of what he said, he could only figure one little ramble out.
" NANI? Why do they keep breaking?"
And then he would continue doing it till their were no more tables. And Lee was breaking every window singing some song he proclaimed he and Gai would sing when he was younger. Shattering everyone's ear drum and the windows. Literally he was shattering the windows with his voice. Every time a window would shatter everyone in the crowd would duck as a natural reaction to a loud noise, then act as if nothing had happened and continued watching intensely. Miraculously everyone forgot about the grueling summer heat wave that struck this village only yesterday, though sweat poured down everyone's body. But their attention was to the show in front of them.
Shikamaru sighed, both hands stuffed comfortably into the crevices of his pockets. After only a few minutes the shadow shinobi got bored watching the scene and turned. " Oi.. Temari. Do you want to come with me?" He asked in a nonchalant tone of boredom. The older blonde behind him who was clinging softly to his back her head in the nooks of his neck, kissing him lightly, she shook her head, her warm moist breath leaving small traces of water vapor on his neck. " No. I'll watch this alittle longer, it's a damn good and funny show. Your going to go watch the clouds again, right? At your favorite spot? Alright. I'll most likely see you later Shika-kun!"
She said taking her arms back, waving him on. Lifting a hand in farewell, Shikamaru walked off his eyes closed slowly facing the onslaught of sunlight that beamed into his eyes. " Ehh.. Mendokusee.." He grunted the voices of the people escaping his mind, a long sigh escaping his lips. Re-opening his eyes to slits so he could barley see , he didn't really want to move his arms to shield his eyes so that's the only thing he decided to do ,them still being sore from the last mission he came home from not to long ago maybe a day or two. Temari treated the wounds for him yesterday, so he might have of come home from a mission yesterday. Oi, he didn't remember, well he most likely did but didn't want to think. He paused for a moment, rolling his shoulder to get some of the soreness out if even alittle, hearing a crack he moaned hanging his head a smirk crossing his face. Better he thought.
" WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN! WHERE HERE ON IMPORTANT BUSINESS WITH TSUNADE-SAMA!"
A woman screamed, her eyes currently beaming with hatred of anyone in sight. Luckily she didn't look past the north gates from where she stood. The crease that was already visible on her forehead only deepened when the guards did not move. The two men were gruffly taller then the Jounin woman, a musky grin on one's face and the other just looking pissed off.
" Listen, ma-am. We aren't permitted to let anyone pass wearing that head protector without a permit from your country. And apparently Cloud. So why don't you just go home. And take the girl with you. You disgust Konoha's name." The irritated one hissed rubbing the side of his face nonchalantly. A look of pure hatred and disgust pouring through his features.
Nerissa sneered him taking a step forward a threatening tone in her voice. Her eyes locking with his light green eyes piercing through him, but her sturdy flames burned with determination to get through even if she had to kill these men. The woman hated anyone who hurt Clouds name, but if they mentioned her students name with the discrimination, it meant all out war.
He scoffed her quietly looking to his partner who was busy fiddling with the shuriken in his weapon pouch. His Leaf vest swaying lightly in the wind as the ground suddenly fell silent. One of the men's eyes quickly averted to the ground bowing his head. The other rolled his eyes into the back of his head, a low angry mumble escaping the depths of his throat. " HEY! Don't look away from me! Damnit, I will decapitate your head forcefully off of your body, tear it open with my kunai and feed your brains to my cat!" She yelled pumping her fist in the air, feeling as if she was in the mood to do it. Truthfully she hadn't done it in a while, and felt a sudden lust for blood, in a most gruesome way.
" Oi, mendokusee. What the hells going on?"
Author's notes: Ehhh..Well there you have it. I've always wanted to do a Naruto fan fiction, and I've read many. So I finally stepped back from my notepads full of pages of writing. So well I hope you like it, and please do review! I'm open for anything you throw at me. And if I get enough good reviews, I'll keep putting up chapters.
