Chapter One – Fighting already?
"Sakuraaaaa-chan!!"
"AGHGHHH!!! What are you doing in my room!!! NARUTO!!!"
Once there was a story of a certain loud mouth hyper active knuckleheaded ninja who always tried to hard for the girl of his dreams, the unremarkable pink haired kunoichi. Her bright green eyes turned into vicious white circles, she formed a fist and impacted it with Naruto's head. Normally her hits would hurt a lot less than this one, but unfortunately for Naruto, he walked in on Sakura as she was changing.
Naruto, with his newly formed red bulge on the top of his head, was against the wall sitting cross legged, in pain of course. He wore his usual attire; Konoha's leaf forehead protector tied around his forehead, it held his golden spiky hair up; his whiskers were still there, right under his eyes. He wore his usual orange "jumpsuit" that had some blue here and there and a white puffy collar. He had his little pouch bag at his side and his sandals were about to fall off so he quickly fixed that.
Soon enough Sakura had emerged from her room in her long red dress that had slits on each side which revealed blue shorts under it, her pouch, filled with her own assortment of weapons, along with her own Konoha leaf forehead protector on the top of her head.
"Naruto…" Sakura said in an almost inaudible voice.
"Sorry Sakura-chan. I didn't realize you were changing…believe it! But…" His voice began to trail off as though he was in his own little world. Sakura decided to snap him out of it by yelling his name, which worked for the time being.
"Sorry again Sakura-chan, we are being called by Granny! The fifth Hokage!"
"Well let's get going! Is it a mission?" Sakura asked as they began their descent down the flight of stairs that were presented before them.
"Yeah…and one hell of a mission at that. She said to come prepared for the worst…Sasuke is getting the briefing now why does he always get the briefing first? Just who –"Naruto continued to babble on about how Sasuke was so horrible and whatever.
Inner Sakura
He is kinda cute when he does that…hehe...Wait what am I thinking?!?! THIS IS NARUTO!!! NARRRUUUUTTTTOOOOOOO"
Sakura, after the quick conflict within herself, then decided to hit Naruto again on the head and he began to sulk.
"Naruto you are such a brat! Why can't you just stay away from me!!!?"
Naruto looked down at the ground; he quietly got up and said, "Sorry" as he left the house. "GAH That Naruto…so troublesome… Oh great now I sound like Ino's boy…stupid Shikamaru…" She began her walk to the office alone.
Konoha hadn't changed too much, it was still peaceful and normal, well as normal as Konoha would ever get. The people still disrespected Naruto (along with herself) but he never once showed any care, maybe it was because he was a tad dense. Sakura continued her walk; she passed by a ramen shop. Normally she wouldn't care for such things but on their sign they had a little challenge for anyone to try and beat.
"Out eat Naruto and we will give you free ramen for two years!!!"
Sakura laughed at this, nobody could out eat Naruto! He was the definition of a beast, in more ways than one… Sakura frowned and finally made her way to the Hokage's tower.
Sakura arrived at Tsunade's office and heard a "come in" so she did and there was the rest of team seven, the lovely, handsome, extraordinary Sasuke and well, Naruto…
She noticed Tsunade in her usual attire, green jacket blah...She just wanted to stare at Sasuke!
"SAKURA" Tsunade yelled and she was snapped back into reality and realized she was getting a briefing she had to stay focused.
"Now then, your mission won't be an easy one, it will be one of the hardest missions you will ever receive but I believe you are ready for it. Your mission is to…"
Silence.
Was it really that hard to say the mission? Tsunade had never struggled in telling team seven their missions for one, they refused to fail, and two they didn't fail. No matter what rank.
"You have to kill Orochimaru"
Team seven immediately began talking amongst each other and Tsunade immediately said "QUIET DOWN! Now I know this is surprising but we aren't only sending you. Your team along with about thirteen or fourteen other ninjas is going to infiltrate Orochimaru's base and kill him. I want you all to come back alive, if there is a single death on this mission it will be considered a failure and you will be sent back to the academy!!"
Team Seven was mad about this one, who wouldn't be? Sent on your hardest mission to date and you can't let anyone die!? Unfair!
"Excuse me ma'am I have one question." Sasuke looked at her with a blank face.
"Yes Sasuke?"
"Who is the leader of this mission and who are the subordinates?"
"Oh, Of course, well the whole team is this; Neji, Lee, Gai, Kakashi, Shikamaru, Ino, Hinata, Kiba, Tenten, Shino, and about four ANBU Black ops. Team captain will be Kakashi and Gai."
Sakura's Thoughts
IS THAT ALL?!?!? She is sending us to our deaths if we only have them!
Sakura frowned and began speaking but was quickly cut off as Tsunade said, "There is no one else that can go on this mission and also it's not like we have a choice. The final bit of information that I'm going to give you before you go on this mission is the person who requested the mission."
A silence grew in the room as Tsunade looked at team seven, standing there as if things were perfectly fine, she could see right through them though. She saw that Sasuke wanted to kill Orochimaru, him and Naruto both wanted that. Sakura was afraid and even if Sasuke wouldn't admit it he was too.
"The person who gave this mission and paying 1,000,000,000 for the head of Orochimaru…is…."
His name was on the tip of her tongue…almost as if it were taunting her to say "his" name.
"Kabuto"
