Chapter 1 – Surprise!

A lonesome figure reached the gates of Kohona village. The stranger put her bags on the ground and sighed.

"I'm finally here! The Fire Country," she exclaimed happily. The stranger picked up her bags and entered the city.


"Another mission completed successfully," the fifth Hokage Tsunade stated to the group in her office. There was a tall blond man with whiskered cheeks and an Anbu uniform. Beside him was another man with black hair and the same uniform. They were both wearing masks.

"Congradulations Naruto, Sasuke," the old woman said. The two Anbu captains took off their mask. Naruto had bright blue eyes and Sasuke had black ones.

"I can't believe you sent two squads out to the battlefield. One team could have done it easily," Naruto complained as he sat on the Homage's desk. Tsunade's eyes twitched in annoyance and she quickly got out of her seat.

"Naruto!" she yelled. Naruto simply laughed at her and got off the desk. He returned to Sasuke's side. Sasuke's face remained expressionless during the whole exchange.

"We're here to request a vacation," Sasuke stated seriously. Tsunade sighed and sat down on her seat again. She looked through a few of the papers and then glanced at the two ninjas.

"State the names of your squads and I will give them all a vacation," she said. Sasuke took a step forwards.

"Sasuke Uchiha and my teammates are Sakura, Ino, Lee and Hinata," he announced. This time Naruto stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Naruto Uzumaki. My team mates are Shikamaru, Kiba, Chouji, and Neji," he stated. Tsunade wrote all the names on a piece of paper and turned back to the two men.

"You will have two weeks to relax," she said.

"Thanks old woman," Naruto said as he grabbed Sasuke's wrist and dragged him out of the office just in time because Tsunade had thrown her desk at the crazy youth.

Team 7 had done very well over the years. Practically all the rookie nine had made it to an Anbu status. They were all twenty years old now. The whole incident concerning Orochimaru was over and the snake Sanin was now dead. Sasuke came back to the village willingly, but he was closely watched for a few months before he was pardoned. It hadn't taken long for Naruto and Sasuke to become Jounin and a few months later they were accepted into the Anbu status. They were even captains with their own teams.

Now, the two men were walking through the village streets. Naruto had put on his Anbu mask to avoid the glares of the villagers. A few years earlier, Sasuke had asked about their behaviour and Naruto had explained everything to him. Soon after that, they became best friends and it was hard to see one of them without the other.

"What do you want to do now?" Naruto asked his partner.

"You're the one who wanted this vacation, so what do you want to do?" Sasuke answered. Naruto thought about his answer and smiled.

"Well… I wanted to visit the village of the Hidden Sand," he replied. Sasuke sighed and stopped walking.

"If that's what you wanted then we should have gotten a longer vacation," Sasuke stated, He quickly turned performed a jutsu, which made a small bird appear. He quickly wrote down a message and then attached it to the bird's leg. The bird flew into the air.

"I've asked for a month. She should approve of it since we never take a vacation," he stated. It didn't take long for the bird to return with a response and then disappeared. Sasuke read the answer and smiled.

"I want to get some Ramen first," he explained as he dragged the prodigy to the Ramen stand. They quickly ordered their meals and began to eat. Suddenly a very harassing voice could be heard.

"Sasuke-kun!" a female voice shouted. Sasuke sighed and glanced at the group approaching them. All of Sasuke and Naruto's teams were there. They all gathered around the captains.

"Did you get us a vacation?" Neji questioned.

"Yup! A whole month!" Naruto responded. Neji seemed surprised by the answer.

"That long?" Shikamaru said.

"Well, I'm planning to leave the village to visit a few friends," Naruto said.

"I'm going with him," Sasuke stated. The two female girls in Sasuke's fan club looked disappointed.

"Then we'll come with you captain," Sakura stated as she referred to herself and Ino.

"No, this is just a trip for Naruto and I," Sasuke declared. Everyone looked surprised by the statement, but quickly recovered. Naruto finished his meal and quietly thanked the shopkeeper for the meal. He stood up to a stretch his tired legs.

"We're going to visit the Hidden Village of Sand. I don't think you'll find it very interesting," Naruto stated. Rock Lee shivered at the thought of the warrior he had met during the chunin exams. Even though they were now friends, it was still hard to forget the injuries inflicted apon him.

"I think I'll stay behind," he murmured. It had been only recently that he had completely recovered from his past injuries and gotten back into shape.

Naruto smile happily. He couldn't wait to fight Gaara again. They'd already gotten into 8 fights and they were each tied with 4 wins and 4 losses. He hoped he could win the ninth round. He voice out his excitement happily. Everyone gulped at the thought of the two-demon holder's fighting. Whenever they fought, destruction always followed them. Both fighters would always be in such a bad condition that they would be stuck in a hospital bed for a few days.

"Naruto!" Sakura shouted angrily. She was always the one that had to cure him after his fights with Gaara.

"If you even dare to enter the hospital again then I'll get really angry," she stated firmly.

"Did you say the name Naruto?" an unfamiliar voice said. Everyone glanced behind Naruto and saw a girl around their age. She had crystal blue eyes. Her bangs were flowing freely and the rest of her hair was tied and went to the middle of her back. It was also braided nicely to increase mobility.

"Who are you?" Hinata asked. The girl gave the Hyuuga heiress a suspicious look and then glanced at Naruto, who was looking at her curiously.

"We asked you what your name was," Kiba said, clearly getting impatient.

"My name doesn't matter. I'm here to see the Kyuubi," she announced. Naruto's eyes widened and he could only stare at the girl in front of him.
