It had been a while since Sasuke had left Konoha, Naruto stopped counting after a while even though he still felt the pain of his leave, but that didn't compare to the pain he felt about her leaving. It was a month since she had left and everyone eventually felt as horrible as they felt when Sasuke left maybe worse…
The young ninjas all sat silent, on a roof, it was usually where they all met, to talk about missions or to play tricks on the older ninjas. Their eyes directed to the floor, or shoes, or knees. Hinata and Naruto were holding each other's hands as if trying to steal away the others sadness. Ten Ten's head laid on Neji's shoulder while the side of his head laid on hers, he didn't feel as bad as she did, because he barley knew the girl, but she did join the enemy. Shikamaru had Temari holding one arm, while Ino had the other. Shikamaru and Temari had both gone on missions with her many times, her bright smile kept flashing into their heads. And Ino…well… Kunkouro sat next to his brother while Gaara sat next to Lee who kept whipping his eyes on his green sleeve, and Kiba with his most quiet partner next to Lee.
Ino broke the silence with a bashing noise, she had taken her fist into the concrete "Damn it! How could she?!"
"We can only guess," Neji, said Ten Ten lifted her head off his shoulder, "No one was there to view her leaving.
"Actually…" Naruto muttered in almost an angry tone, they all lifted their eyes to him "There's a way we can find out why…" He fist tightened, Hinata ignored his nails cutting into her skin; she knew his pain, "We can find out why Sakura joined the Anbu squad,"
"Well were all ears Naruto," Kiba said.
"There were cameras."
"What?" Hinata said in astonishment.
"I heard Kakashi and Iruka talking…I still can't believe they would hide that type of stuff from us…"
"Uh…Naruto," Kiba said, pointing at Naruto's hand, he was squeezing Hinata's hand half to death. He let go of her hand quickly "I'm sorry!"
Ten Ten looked at the ground again "Sakura could've healed that…"
Gaara actually did something; he grunted in agreement, she was after all, in a way a worthy opponent…
"Well what are we sitting around here for?!" Naruto yelled standing up, his usual annoying short speeches "We have to get that video, I can't stand just not wanting to know what happened! She could've been kidnapped for all we know!"
"I…um would like to know what happened," Neji said standing smirking.
"Are we all supposed to go? Wouldn't that be suspicious? I mean they don't even know we meet up here…" Temari asked.
Ino agreed with her for once "Ya we'd probably get caught trying to get the video…"
"Not if we all go in groups! And go in different ways!" Naruto was getting a feeling of leader until everyone joined.
"Ya and we could have group leaders, and use the mikes to keep in touch if anyone gets caught we could warn the others to get out," Shikamaru said pointing.
"Ya plus we could have code names so that when we tell them to get out they wont get caught that way!" Kunkouro said.
"Well then why are we just sitting around discussing it?" Gaara said, talking more than he had the entire time "Lets get to work." His voice was still cold, but right.
As they planned and got ready to start a break in they didn't realize a couple of things. For one they had all never felt so close to Sakura as they did now. And also, they were making their own mission, being their own boss…
Somewhere else of courseOnly pale light shown into the room where it always seemed like night. Itachi betrayer of the Uchiha clan sat in a large violet chair. A knock came to the door "Yes?" He said almost in a hiss.
"Itachi-kun, can I come in?" A familiar voice rang like bells to him.
No one would be able to see because of the collar, but he was smirking behind it "But of course."
She stood there in the doorway for a moment, her eyes glistening emerald in the light that could only manage to stream inside, only long for the blonde ponytail wearing member, Deidara, to smirk down at her head band that the new girl wore like a ribbon, the once clean shining headband now had a change in its design. A slit in the metal at the top.
She made her way over to the chair, she leaned on the top, bringing her arms down around Itachi; he placed his hand on her wrist as she rested her head on his, "Itachi you've been worrying me lately, you've been acting so strange…" She said in a childish voice.
"You remember Sasuke, right?" He said quietly.
"Oh…him?" She asked in annoyance.
"He's coming back…" His eyes stared forward for a moment until his next words, he looked up at her "And you wouldn't believe who he's coming back for," He pocked her forehead.
"Ah," She said smiling looking at the blackened window that sat on the wall before them "This is about to get very interesting…"
"Very," He said putting his hand on her face staring at the window with her.
"Team Sand Leaf is in position." Gaara said into the earpiece. With Ino, Shino, and Kunkouro.
"Why do we call it sand leaf!?? That's stupid!" Ino shouted even though they were in an air ventilation, Shino clasped his hand over her mouth, as Gaara glared at her.
"Team Leaf Sand in position" Naruto said into an earpiece on the outside of the building on one side, he heard Ino say in the background 'Ugh how boring' and than a muffled squeak, Shino obviously covered her mouth again.
"Team uh…" Neji said in his.
"Ooo oo lets call it team Inu!" Kiba said raising his hand.
"No." He said.
"Um uh…. how about um the uh leand…b-because that's the words mixed…" Hinata suggested awkwardly.
'The main branch conquers again…' He thought slumping.
"Are you ok Big Brother?" She asked.
"Fine!" He said standing up strait.
"Uh guys…the mission?" Naruto said on the other line.
"Oh right…" They all said.
I hope you likey
