This is my first fanfic, so please don't make the reviews too harsh!

Disclaimer: Naruto and it's characters and what not belong to Masashi Kishimoto

Though I do own Idate, Koshi, Naroki, the plot, and some other stuff.

"Hmm? What...? W-where am I?" Idate blinked. Suddenly, everything came into focus. Of course, he was in his room. "Oh? Weird..." He remembered a vivid dream, so... realistic...

Flashback

She was sobbing uncontrollably. He had no idea why, she was just there. Crying. But what did this have to do with him? "NOOOO!" she suddenly screamed.

End of Flashback

But what did this have to do with him? Idate suddenly jumped out of bed. "Dammit! I'll be late!"

He had completely forgotten! He had a very important mission today, with his team! He ran through the house, gathering his tools, completely ignorant of his parents' confused looks. He then ran out of the room, and sprinted to class.

He skidded into the Ichiraku Ramen Shop just in time. "Wow, Idate. Your even late like your dad was!" Naroki commented. "Yeah, my mom told me how Sakura and Naruto were always complaining about when your dad would make up lame excuses." Koshi added. Idate paused. He was just about to say why he was late. He rubbed the back of his head, a sweat drop sliding down.

"Hey, where's Shikamaru sensei?" Idate asked. "I dunno, why don't we ask him?" Shikamaru said with a grin, startling them. "Sensei! Your worse than Idate!" Idate glared at them. Was he really that late? He had gotten here before sensei. Oh well. He'd complain later. Right now, he was focused on something else. "Sensei, what about the mission? It is today, right?"

"Um, yeah. About that, well, Tsunade gave the mission to another team, I think, team 3?"

"NANI?" They all yelled, "What, with them?!" Team 3 was compromised of the three most unlikely candidates, Konohamaru and his henchmen. Not to mention their pervy sensei, Ebizu. Well, Idate couldn't complain, as he was a bit of a perv himself (Kakashi's genes xD).

"Well, what do we do then?" They asked. Shikamaru explained how they had been reassigned, and that they were now guarding an important political figure in a nearby Village.

At least it would be interesting...

"Aww, man! They'll probably be boring, just doing paperwork the whole time" Naroki pouted. She was just like her father, always wanting adventure. Well, I guess she would be more likely to be like him than Hinata. "Well, pack your stuff, were leaving in 5 hours, wrap up any business you got." Shikamaru said lazily. "Aw, can't we have some ramen first?" Naroki pleaded. "Alright, but I'm not paying" Shikamaru chuckled. "Man..." Naroki then proceeded to check everywhere for her coupons. "Dammit! I want raaaaamen!!!!!"

Five hours Later

"Alright, everyone here? Good! And we're off!" They walked out the gigantic gate stamped with the Kononha's symbol. Koshi was the only one with a bounce in his step.

Maybe she'll give us food!

Why can't we have an easy mission?

Maybe even Barbeque!

Dammit I forgot Icha Icha Paradise!

FOOD!

RAMEN!!

They were all busy with their own thoughts. Funny, how being busy seems to make a trip seem to go by so fast.... Before they knew it, night had fallen. Idate looked around. Sensei had ordered them to find a good spot to rest, while he "accounted for" all the supplies. Just like him, Idate thought. After a few minutes of searching, Idate found a small clearing, just right for their camp. As a signal, he sent a few sparks of chakra into the air, and the others quickly found him.

They set up their camp, and started a fire, with Koshi drooling next to it. After they had their meal, they retired in their small tents.

At the crack of dawn, they all (reluctantly) awoke, and quickly packed up. They quickly set off again, without speaking. When, suddenly, Sensei shouts "GET DOWN!" and pulls them down. a rain of kunai fly overhead, right where their heads were. "Dammit!" Someone screams. A tree rustles, and a tall, limber person jumps out. "W-what?!" "Sensei, who is he?!" "H-he's an S-Rank criminal... we can't let him get away! Go get help! I'll fight him off!" Shikamaru entered his trademark stance, as his shadow binded itself around his enemy. "Heh, you think that'll stop me?!" He yelled. He formed complex hand signs, and everything was plunged into darkness. With out light, Shikamaru's techniques were useless! "I've already prepared for something like this!" Shikamaru yelled. He took out a flash ball, and threw it into the air. It exploded, but the light was instantly repressed-it had all disappeared!

"Heh, I forgot too mention; my technique completely obliterates light!"

As the man was smirking, a mass of figures pounced on him! "Hurry!" Naroki yelled. She had summoned many clones, and was now holding him tightly. A huge boulder rolled toward him, and Idate was sprinting with a ball of lightning, the Lightning Edge, Kakashi's signature technique!

It was all going according to their plan, when: Koshi made a slight miscalculation. He rammed straight into the real Naroki, thus setting off the chain reaction. All of the clones disapparated, releasing the nin from his hold. He easily dodged Idate, who crashed straight into his comrades. The man slipped away, grinning.

"GET OFF ME, FAT ASS!" Naroki yelled, pushing Koshi off.

"I'M NOT FAT! I'M JUST PLEASINGLY PLUMP!"

"IF YOU HADN'T RUN INTO ME, OUR PLAN WOULD'VE WORKED!"

"SHUT UP, TEME! IF YOU HADN'T DISTRACTED ME, I WOULD'VE HIT HIM!"

"IF YOU TOO DOBES HADN'T SCREWED UP, WE WOULD'VE CAUGHT HIM!"

"SHUT UP!" Sensei yelled, hitting them all.

Rubbing his head, Idate questioned "Who was he, anyway?"

Shikamaru sighed. Explanations where so tedious. "His name is Gokai. He's an S-Rank criminal, a former Shinobi of the Village Hidden in the shadows." "What about that jutsu he did? It was kinda like your shadow techniques." Koshi said. "No, my techniques are based off real shadows, ones that need light to be created. His, however, is more like evil, all-consuming darkness." Shikamaru concluded.

Idate-Sama: Interesting first chapter, huh? Don't worry, some more stuff will be revealed later! ^^

Idate: Why did you make us mess up!

Naroki: We would've wiped the floor with him!

Idate-Sama: Duh! It was fun! And the readers like it!

Koshi: That's it?

Idate-Sama: Yup. We'll soon reveal the truth about Idate's dream.

Idate: That was a creepy dream, I-

Koshi: I had this dream that I was eating a giant hamburger!

Naroki: You always dream of food, don't you?

Koshi: No I do not! *glares at Naroki*

Shikamaru: I'm better than that! You make me seem weak!

Idate-Sama: Well, that's all for now, please R/R and tell me what you think! Chapter 2 will be here soon!
