Shikamaru walks up to a very large building looking confused and upset. Today is suppose to be his day off but he got a call a while ago saying to meet Lady Tsunade at her office. She is the Hokage of Konohagakure, she is in charge of everything involving this city, which is weird because she is a drunk who doesn't want the job. But everybody who knows her, knows that she cares about everybody that lives here. She just doesn't really show it. He walks into the building and shows his ID badge and walks towards the elevator. He walks down the hall and stops at her office. he sighs one more time before knocking on the door.
"Come in." He heard a voice say. He opens the door to find Tsunade sitting at her desk, her advisor Shizune standing next to her holding her pet pig.
"You know, usually I would complain that you called me in on my day off" Shikamaru said, "but I figured since it was urgent it must be a good reason"
Tsunade takes a deep breath before, looking him straight in the eyes "Shikamaru I need you to assemble a team of your most trusted and strongest allies to help you handle a very dangerous mission." Lady Tsunade said as she handed him a folder. Shikamaru took the folder and opened it. Inside was information on seven very dangerous people. People that he knew all to well. Those his mentors had locked away awhile ago. Those who used to be his friends. He never thought he would have to go on a mission with them. One in particular standing out to him. It's been a long time since he and her was on a mission together, ever since that day. Shikamaru closes his eyes and sighs.
"Look, Tsunade what's going on, I'm going to need more information." Shikamaru said
"Well it was confirmed that Sunagakure has captured Kakashi's team; which consisted of Gai, Asuma, and Kurenai. We need you to assemble the best team of people in your field to help you escort these guys to get them back." Tsunade explained while Shikamaru blinked in surprise. He never thought his mentors would get captured. They were the best of the best.
"But what about these guys in the folder?" Shikamaru said knowing it would be more trouble than it's worth. He knew perfectly well that they would NEVER work with him, let alone with each other. How was this suppose to work? As soon as they are out they would escape, or worse, kill him and his friends.
"Think of them as your shields, have them do most of the dangerous work, while you and your real team get Intel and complete the mission. And if all else fails... Well make sure you don't fail, because if you fail it will be a sad day for everybody involved."
Shikamaru faught with himself on whether or not he should do this. He knew the very possible consequences of working with those people. But he also knew that he had to do this. there is someone on that list that he just needs to see. "You know when they get out they're going to stop at nothing to escape. Do you really trust them?" Shikamaru asked throwing the folder on the desk.
"Of course not. That's why we're going to have Shino implant bugs into their body. These bugs will be implanted in their brains and with one bite kill them in seconds, so you have nothing to worry about. Now are you in?"
Shikamaru really didn't want to, but he felt he owed it to his mentors to help them; even if he has to work with a team that's not going to work together and may possibly kill him in the process. "This is such a drag! Fine, how many people can I bring alone?"
Tsunade smiled probably knowing that he was going to say yes the whole time. She really is a wicked old lady. "No more than ten. You will leave in a week. As for the people on the folder, leave them to me, they'll be cooperative when I'm done with them." She smiled devilishly. This is going to be a long mission, one he isn't certain he would come back from. "Oh and one more thing, I need you to bring Naruto."
Nodding Shikamaru leaves the building. Once outside he pulls out his phone and calls up the allies that can help them. He calls them one by one and tells them to meet him at Ichiraku ramen.(for Naruto of course). When he arrives he is the first one there and takes a seat and orders his usual.
"Hey Shikamaru! What's the occasion? Inviting me out for ramen." Naruto Uzumaki. The ramen loving boy himself said as he smiled at the boy.
"Order whatever you want on me." Naruto smiled brightly at that, "surprisingly you're the first one here, let's wait for everybody else to arrive." Shikamaru said not wanting to say too much until everybody arrives. Naruto had no problem as he ordered himself a bowl.
After awhile another person walked into the restaurant "H-hi Naruto." Naruto looks up to see Hinata, a friend that they can definitely count on to help with this mission. She was the only one who was never mean to Naruto growing up, someone who saw past the monster that Naruto was portrayed as. "Hey Hinata sit and order its on Shikamaru." Naruto said patting on a seat next to him. Hinata blushes and takes a seat next to Naruto
"Hello Shikamaru," Hinata greeted
"Hey"
"what's going on?" Hinata asked
"Nothing. Wishing I was at home, playing shogii." He looked out the window, and at the clouds, 'Man clouds have it so easy, they don't get called in on a mission on their day off. His thoughts were interrupted by a the sound of his oldest friend
"Hey everybody!" Choji Akamichi greeted sitting down next to Shikamaru
"Choji! Order anything you want on Shikamaru!" Naruto patted him on he back,
"Your going to regret those words!" Choji sat down and pulled out a menu. "Waiter I want everything on this first page!" Choji shows the waiter.
"Hey Choji don't over due it!" Shikamaru yelled at him.
Soon, everyone started to show up. Lee and TenTen showed up next "Hey Shikamaru sorry I'm late, I promised myself to do 1000 push-ups before coming here." Lee said sitting next to Choji.
"And I had to babysit him." TenTen said sitting next to Hinata.
"You don't have to babysit me TenTen, I'm a grown man!" Lee said folding his arms.
"Oh Shutup if I didn't stop you, you would've done 4000!" TenTen shot back.
"It is the power of youth!" Lee said getting excited,
Kiba, Shino, and Saskura where the last to show, and the end of Shikamaru's list. After everybody says their hellos, and ordered there food, Shikamauru explained why he asked them to come on such short notice.
"Oh Gai Sensei!" Lee said as he cries hysterically
"Why the hell would Lady Tsunade pick you as the mission leader! Everybody here is more capable of leading a team than you!" Kiba yelled outraged, his dog Akamaru barking loudly besides him. "Well maybe not Naruto."
"What the hell did you say Kiba? Did you forget the last time I kicked your ass!" Naruto said getting up
"You farted in my face!" Kiba shouted back.
"You wanna take this outside!"
Sakura hit them up side the head, effectively shutting the two up. "Shutup you idiots people are looking." They looked around and everybody in the restaurant was indeed looking at them with confusion. "Sorry folks please continue your meal." Sakura said laughing it off.
"Shikamaru is the only one that makes sense to lead a mission as dangerous as this one. He's the only one of us that won't let his emotions cloud his judgement on the battle field. Plus his IQ is over 200, he's a great strategist." Choji stated sticking up for his best friend. No one could argue with the facts.
Kiba sighed "and what's with working with these loones. She can't be serious."
"Don't call them that, let's not forget we are friends with some of them.", Naruto said defensively
"Don't you mean 'were'" Kiba emohasized, "you know, before we found out what type of people they really are." Kiba shot back. Naruto growled in anger, jumping up to fight, only to be forcibly pulled back by Sakura
"Calm down Naruto," Sakura said, "I know how you feel, but getting mad isn't going to help the situation"
"Sakura is right," TenTen said, "we need to keep our composure. We know how sensitive this topic is for everyone"
"Kiba's just mad because he's going to have to listen to Shikamaru, like a good bitch, which is befitting because Akamaru is the male in their relationship!" Naruto mumbled under his breath, but just loud enough for everyone to hear
"Naruto would you Shutup and go get the check!" Sakura said pushing him to get up, and he reluctantly did so.
"Who's the bitch now?" Kiba shouted as Naruto went to the counter.
"Your sister was my bitch if I remembered correctly!" Naruto retorted.
"What did you say to me bitch?" Kiba said getting up.
Shikamaru shook his head, "Okay no one is a bitch." Kiba looked to Choji
"Well, Choji's kinda a bitch."
"Hey!" Choji said offended.
"Would you guys Shutup and let Shikamaru talk" Sakura said
"Yeah Sakura wants this to be over so she could go home and practice what she's going to say to Sasuke." TenTen teased
"No I'm not!" She said quickly
"What! Sakura doesn't like Sasuke anymore! Right Sakura?" Lee said with hope in his eyes
"Uhh, So Shikamaru, please continue." She said brushing it off. Lee and Naruto looked a bit disappointed.
"Are you in?" Shikamaru said ready to leave, he can't believe he has to do this. "You can count me in!" Lee and Naruto said speaking up first, and everybody else just nodding in agreement; everybody but Hinata. She continues to look at the picture of her cousin. Naruto puts his hand on hers reassuring her that it will be alright. She's looks up and smiles nodding.
Meanwhile Tsunade is at the prison walking the halls with Shizuna. The first person the stop at is a girl with a curvy figure, long blond hair, and beautiful light blue eyes. She is locked in a cell, it appears she's talking to a guard. The Aburame clan put special bugs in the prisoners who have powers, these bugs block them from using their powers.
"I'm bored can you play with me?" She said seductive
"Sorry I don't play with women who put seven of my men in a hospital. Now shut up and get back!" The officer bangs on the bars and she got back, "If only I had my powers, I would so kill you." Was all she said before she noticed both girls. The guards had moved to let Tsunade take a closer look at the girl. Tsunade looks at the Ino with sadness in her eyes, Shizune gives Tsunade a brief introduction
Ino Yamanaka:
-Mind Techniques
-Robbed many banks and museums
-Accomplice to murder
-Total wild card
"Why are you reading that to her Shizune? She knows everything about me." Ino said walking once again back up to the bars.
"It's good to see you Ino." Tsunade said,
"Wish I could say the same... Now what do you want?" Ino said snapping at them.
"You'll find out soon enough." Was all Tsunade said before walking away. Ino raised her left eyebrow and smirked.
Next she went to another ceil, a girl with red hair, and glasses. With her back towards the bars. She appears to be looking at a picture, "I love you, you bastard! And I hate that I love you because I hate you for what you did to me!" She said crying hysterically.

"Ugh I'm so bored! Can Someone please change the channel! No one gives a damn about the news!" Suigetsu said
"Well if you wasn't a killer you wouldn't be in here, you would be out there pressing the remote to whatever channel you want." A guard said
"Well to be honest, killing someone in real life is much more fun, when your not watching it, or playing a game." He said with a smirk.
"Is that right?" The guard said
"Yeah and right now this player wants to kill you." He said smirking, because he thought he came up with something clever. The guard turns up the volume and Suigetsu puts his pillow over his head.
"Dammit all!" He shouted.
Next was a very big man with orange hair, he looks almost peaceful. Like he wants to be there.
Jugo

Neji Hyuga

-Killed members of his family
"Hey boy my son said he hated me today, should I be scared he might kill me?" A guard said to Neji, but Neji smirked and didn't say anything back, he was the only one who didn't let those guards get to him.
"Cut it out!" Tsunade said while hitting the guard really hard on the head.
"Sorry Ma'am!" The guard bowed, and Tsunade swore she heard Neji chuckle.
Last was a boy who was the most dangerous one, black hair, handsome, and tall, another one she couldn't save.
Sasuke Uchiha
-Sharingan
-Wanted to kill his brother
-Unpredictable

"That's all Ma'Lady, but are you absolutely sure you want Sasuke on is team?", Shizune asked worried he might not participate.
"Yeah I want them prepped this afternoon." Tsunade walked away.
"Yes M'Lady." Shizuna went back and told the guards to get them ready to get their implant.
There is about 20 guards to each cell, they might not have their powers but these people are insane, who knew what they have up their sleeve.
"Ready to open the doors at my signal!" A man who is in charge at the moment said.
"Bring it on." Ino said cracking her knuckles.
"I'm going to enjoy this." Suigetsu said putting his fist up.
'I'm getting out today, no matter what!' Karin thought, getting ready.
Sasuke, Neji and Jugo remained silent as they also prepared for what was coming. The doors open and all hell breaks loose.
