Naruto growled under his breath as he approached the target. He really hated missions like this. He had to go against every hyperactive bone in his body and be quiet, or else the target would become aware of his presence. It was driving him CRAZY! The orange-clad, impatient genin let out another sigh that was picked up by his communicator. "Gaa… this is such an annoying mission!" he mumbled into his microphone."
"Shut up, Naruto-no-baka. The only annoying thing about this mission is you," Sakura's voice drifted through his earphone.
"Hn," Sasuke was being his normal talkative self.
"Hey, teme can't you talk in full sentences for once?"
"Dobe, just shut up and capture the target already!"
"Yeah, I want to get out of this creepy Forest of Death. I've always hated this place and now we're in the middle of it!"
Naruto had to agree with Sakura. He hated the fact that they were smack dab in the middle of the same forest where they had first met that hebi-teme, Orochimaru. And all because of a stupid cat too. He couldn't believe that they were chasing it AGAIN!
Just then Naruto spotted the source of his woes. "Tora-chan" was laying down, as content as could be on an old, stone well, liking its paws. "Target has been spotted, moving in."
"Finally, hurry up and grab him, Naruto, so we can get out of here!
"Dobe, I'm right across from you. Scare him toward me and I'll catch him."
"Oh Sasuke-kun, you're so cool!"
Naruto figured that if he tried to grab the cat, using the actions that his team expected from him, it would send the cat straight to Sasuke. He only needed to adjust the angle slightly and jump straight at the abomination landing at the bottom of the well that he knew was dry; he had hidden in this place back in his academy days one time when running from some chunnin after a particularly cleaver prank. He really wasn't as stupid as his friends believed him to be.
He quickly signaled Sasuke with a click and ran and dove toward the cat. Predictably, it darted off, right into Sasuke's arms. Naruto, pumped his fist as he fell into the well only to realized it had gotten deeper than he remembered.
His teammates ran toward the well when through their communicators they heard his yell weaken and dissolve into static. Kakashi looked in the well that he distinctly saw Naruto fall into only to be greeted with an alarming lack of said blond.
