Early Morning, Konaha, Hokage's mansion.
Choji yawned breaking the morning silence.
"Hey!!" Tsunade snapped.
Choji's mouth snapped shut.
" Oh, sorry," Choji said scratching the back of his head.
Tsunade sighed.
"Anyway, that's it. I want you guys back this afternoon."
Shikamaru nodded.
"Understood". Neji said.
"Okay, we deliver the medicine then head straight back. It's a drag but, I'm guessing Lady Tsunade has another mission for us" Shikamaru instructed.
Neji nodded.
"Can't we make-"
"No, Choji" Shikamaru interrupted.
"Tsunade will be pissed if we don't go strait back, sorry Choji."
Neji and Shikamaru began walking in the direction of the next village over.
"Choji, you` coming?" Shikamaru called over his shoulder.
Choji ran after Shikamaru and Neji.
Something shifted in the darkness of a bush near by. Neji noticed then smirked.

Around lunch, at the entrance of Hoshiyami village. "Aww, man, we're finally done." Shikamaru groaned. "Can we take a break now, Shikamaru?" Choji asked. "I agree," Neji said. "I- huh?" Shikamaru turned towards the road leading away from the village, scanning the forest line. "Who's there!?" Shikamaru shouted. Silence. " Come out we know your there!" Nothing moved. "fine. Neji, how many are there?" Shikamaru asked. "Hmm… just one." Neji said. "Okay, Choji! Over there!" Shikamaru said, pointing at a tree a little ways away. "Got it, Shikamaru." Choji glared.

Konaha
*Stamp*
"ugh…Why do I have to do all of this?"
*stamp… shuffle of papers*
"You have to do it sooner or later, Lady Tsunade." Shizune pointed out.
"Why not later?" Tsunade groaned.
There was a knock on the door.
"Enter!" Tsunade called.

"Choji!" Shikamaru shouted.
Choji was hurled ten feet away from where Shikamaru had said the unknown person was.
"Heheheh… So you found me out. No wonder Kerame was interested." said a middle-aged man with black hair and eyes.
He wore a white hoodless cloak that faded into a dark blue line on the back. The symbol for power was, also, inscribed on the back.
Under the cloak was a plain netted shirt, black pants, sandals, and a weapons pouch.
The man had his hair up in a medium sized ponytail.

Konaha
"Impossible! You're supposed to be out on a mission! You can't be back yet!" Tsunade said, shocked.
