Kurohasu

Chapter 1, the Last Straw

At The Training Grounds

"Guys"

"..."

"Guys, stop fighting, Kakashi-sensei is waiting for us at the Hokage tower for our next mission!" shouted a very angry Sakura

"Well you can go on ahead, we don't need an annoying, weakling to help us train Sakura" Sasuke said coldly.

"Um...Sasuke...You might want to take that back or run or both." Naruto said, slowly backing away from Sasuke.

"Why? She can't do anything to me." Veins popped out of Sakura's forehead.

"Dude, 1: you just made it worse. 2: you don't know who her master is, do you?"

"Who would want to teach her? Her teacher must be weak or crazy to think that Sakura could be strong." Sasuke raised an eyebrow, Naruto saw Sakura stiffen and crack her knuckles, and he also sensed her chakra building. Naruto looked at Sakura then Sasuke.

"Nice knowing you." Naruto saluted and hid behind a tree.

"What are yo-" Sasuke never finished his sentence as Sakura punched him through 8 trees. She then stamped out of the training grounds, leaving a surprised and badly hurt Sasuke behind.

"Don't say I didn't warn you." Naruto crawled out of hiding to help his friend/rival.

"Shut up dobe." Sasuke tried to mask his embarrassment, but it wasn't working to well.

Meanwhile on the streets Konoha

"I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late," said a much stressed Ino. "This is the third time this week, they should know that I'm a ninja and that I need to do ninja duties before flower shop assistant duties" Ino said out loud as she ran as fast as she could to Ichiraku ramen where she and her teammates met before training.

'I'm half an hour late, shit'Ino thought

"Where's Ino?" Asuma asked while looking around for his blonde haired ex-student and now teammate.

"Probably chasing red eye wonder, how troublesome" Shikamaru said while glancing up to the sky.

"We better go and (crunch) start training, it's not our fault (crunch) if she gets killed" Chouji said while eating a packet of chips, some of the chips coming out of his mouth.

"Very Well, let's go" Asuma sighed turning, taking his old students to the training grounds, as they left a shadow shrunk back. After they were gone Ino ran home crying.


Meanwhile In Suna

Temari was walking around the Kazekage tower looking for Gaara so she could ask for a mission to do. All she seemed to be doing now is all his paper work, while he was with his girlfriend, Hyuuga Hinata. Temari did like the girl and she was happy that Gaara found someone nice, but that doesn't mean that he could just get up and go see Hinata whenever he wanted and leave her to do all the work. Temari went past a window and saw Gaara's famous red hair at the front of the Tower. She walked up to her two brothers, only to hear the last part of their conversation.

"It's an important mission Kankuro; I don't want any mishaps got it?" Gaara said in his normal gloomy voice, looking at the puppeteer before turning to his sister.

"Hey Gaara can I please go with Kankuro" Temari asked her brother, her voice clearly showing how badly she wanted to go outside Suna.

"No." the red head snapped, not even looking at his sister.

"Why?"

"Cause you have to stay, you know what Gaara's like with paper work and you're his cover when he goes sees his dear Hinata-chan" the puppeteer stated to the fan fighter. Gaara gave Kankuro a glare, who just smiled.

"Fine, I'll go do Gaara's job then!" Temari stalked off, Gaara smirked he loved doing this; if he can't kill people he'll do the next best thing, annoy the shit out of his family.

"That's a good girl. Oww!" Kankuro was hit with a blast of air from Temari's fan. Gaara couldn't stop snickering, 'God I love my family' He thought as Kankuro picked himself up and walked off and mumbled something about women.
