This is my first naruto fanfic. And it was a spur of the moment kind of thing. Sorry, but I do not own the Naruto cast members or Majime, Yangu or Konpaku. But Kione and Roku are definitely mine and I would prefer you ask me before using her for any reasons.
Kohona, in time of peace, on a normal day of Uzumaki Naruto's life. Ya, it's that freaked up.
"Naruto!!" a familiar pink haired girl yelled as she stood in the middle of the woods, shivering out of anger.
"Gosh, Sakura, you don't need to yell, I'm right here, shesh," the famous yellow haired brat of Kohona grumbled as he used a finger to clear one of his ears as he stood a few feet away from Sakura, as calm as a toad.
"Naruto, how dare you! Go back to the village and apologize to the Katsuyu," Sakura growled as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Why do I need to apologize to Grandma Tsunade's slug!?" Naruto asked in his normal, bluntly stupid way as he blinked at Sakura.
"Because you smacked it on the nose!" Sakura yelled as she grabbed Naruto's arm and started to drag him back to Kohona to go and apologize to Katsuyu.

Naruto Apologized to Katsuyu after being beat upside the head a few times by Sakura. And after being apologized to, Katsuyu returned to the summoning world.
"Alright, now that we got that out of the way, I need you two and Jiraiya to go on a mission. You are to meet Jiraiya at the gate in the morning," Tusnade said with a sigh as she sat at her desk and picked up a paper and scanned it.
"What kind of mission, Lady Tsunade?" Sakura asked sweetly as paused. "And why are we going with Jiraiya Sensei?" Sakura then asked, her brows furrowing as she became confused.
"Your mission is to find and retrieve a fox from the Waterfall area. Aparently there were bandits or something that took the small animal. It should be a simple job, but since it's a far distance, you'll need supervision and since Kakashi is busy, Jiraiya is going with you two," the Fifth Hokage easily explained.
"Awww! A fox? I thought we were going to have a more exciting mission then that. Come on, Grandma Tsunade! Can't we have a more exciting mission?" Naruto pleaded but only got a glare from the Hokage.
Sakura and Naruto left the Hokage's office in silence as the two thought of the upcoming mission.
"Why did Grandma Tsunade give us such a wimpy mission? We can totally handle a tougher mission then finding a fox!" Naruto fumed as he walked along with Sakura, heading for the ramen bar.
"Come on, Naruto. Lady Tusnade wouldn't give us a mission if she didn't think we were perfect for the job, Naruto. And just think about it, maybe we will get a lead to finding Sasuke if we go to the Waterfall area to look for this fox. Who know who we'll meet on our journey!" Sakura said, trying to cheer Naruto up but only succeeded in making herself sad by remembering Sasuke and how he left Kohona.
"I promised you I'd bring him back, Sakura, and I'll keep to that promise. Believe it!" Naruto said softly, seriously as he sat down at the ramen bar and ordered for the both of them.
"Don't worry, Naruto, I believe you," Sakura reassured as she stared at the ramen that was put in front of her, losing her appetite. Of course…Naruto didn't.

Sakura and Naruto waited at the Kohona gate as Jiraiya finally made an appreance. "Hey you two, you're up early, aren't you?" Jiraiya said with his normal smile as he looked at their silent faces. "Not in a pleasant mood I see. Well, let's go. It's a long trip to the Waterfall territory," Jiraiya said without much thought as he lead the way down the path, in an upbeat mood to this whole thing.
The Chunin and Genin followed Jiraiya silently as the trees went by like every other time they walked through these woods. The two ninjas barely paying attention to the world around them while Jiraiya pretended not to. But seriously, what could possibly happen in these woods?
"Sakura…why do you think Grandma Tusnade picked us for this mission? I mean, wouldn't Hinata, Kiba and Shino be better at finding this fox then us? I mean, they can find a rare beetle that can be trained to sniff out a scent, so why can't they find a lousy fox?" Naruto asked, really bummed out that they get a lousy mission like this.
"I don't know, Naruto, maybe she thought it would be easy and since we're one man short, we could handle in and be back before anyone knew it," Sakura offered, bummed out for different reasons.
"Maybe," Naruto agreed as he trudged along with a sigh, bumping into the back of Jiraiya. "What gives Pervy Sage?" Naruto demanded before noticing the Sannin's tense posture. It wasn't long before he noticed that they were being followed.
"They're probably bandits, but be on your guard anyway. Let's not take any chances," Jiraiya whispered to the two before starting to walk again, the other two ninjas following him closely as they scanned the woods, looking for any indications of a trap or motion.

"We have to be careful about the tall one. He's obviously someone who is experienced. But the sma-,"
"Can I eat them!? Oh, please, let me eat them, Konpaku! Let me rip the girl to shreds!" an eager voice whispered within the branches of a tree a few meters behind the one that talked before him.
"No, Roku. You heard Majime. We must follow them as they quest for Kyuubi's female mate. The yellow haired child will lead us to her. The legends say the fox's song is irresistible to Kyuubi," the first voice whispered as he slowly crept along to follow the three leaf ninja.
"Awww, but I bet the strawberry blonde is so appetizing!" the second voice whined before looking at a third and fourth ninja of the ground who stayed silent while watching their own team mates. "Careful, don't stare too long or I'll eat you guys up," the same man hissed and then cackled before bounding after the leader.
Well that probably wasn't the best, but I hope it was good enough. R&R are very welcome with me. Like I said, this is my first time making one of these, so ya. Please tell me everything you liked and didn't like.
