Setting: Hokage's office
a knock on the door disrupts Tsunade's gaze out the window
Tsunade: come in
Neji: bows head you wanted to see me?
Tsunade: Yes, Hyuuga neji, i have heard that you are among the best of the genin, I've called you here to notify you that you will be participating in a mission.
Neji: eyes grow wide Mission? but my team...
Tsunade: Yes, i'm aware that your team is away right now, however, your talent is needed on this mission
Neji: I understand. What is the mission
Tsunade: Well, the mission is fairly straight forward, you are to go to the Forest country. The Forest country is holding a chuunin exam, your cover will be to participate in this exam. However, your true mission is to find out what is going on behind the scenes in the Wood village, where the exam is being held.
Kakashi: shunshin See...
Neji!...turn head to see kakashi
Kakashi: the Forest country has 3 main villages, wood, soil and tree. They hate each other, to try and ease tensions and better relations, they have decided to host a chuunin exam, together.
Tsunade: kakashi... you're late
Kakashi: usual late pose see, i saw a black cat and...
Tsunade: never mind that Kakashi, Neji, meet your Captain for this mission
Kakashi: Yo!
Neji: Kakashi-san
Kakashi: Neji, you will be a team leader on this mission, once we get to the hidden Forest village i will be snooping around alone, the 4 of you will go along with the cover. I want you to watch the other shinobi, see if any of them are suspicious.
Neji: What exactly am i looking for?
Kakashi: You'll know soon, first let's meet with our other team members.
Neji: Right.
Fade out:
Setting: Gate of konoha
3 silhouettes standing, waiting...
Kakashi and Neji are seen walking towards them
Naruto: Kakashi-sensei i wont forgive you! You're late again!
Kakashi: another classic late pose Well, i was...
Naruto: naruto finger pointing Lies!
Shikamaru: Kakashi, what is our mission?
Shino: Yes, it is unusual for all of us to be seperated from our original teams
Kakashi: For this mission, the 4 of you were chosen specially by Tsunade-sama. This mission, we are going to the Forest Country, specifically the wood village, where the chuunin exam is ..
Naruto: Chuunin exam! YEAH! we are participating in a chuunin exam?
shino!...
shikamaru!?
Kakashi: Let me finish, you will be participating..
Naruto: YEAH! I'm going to be a chuunin...
Kakashi: but that's only as a cover
Naruto: downer face eh?
Kakashi: The Forest country has been locked in a civil war so to speak for the past half decade. Forest country has 3 main villages, wood, soil and tree, each are powerful villages, each hate each other. Recently, there has been a movement to unify the 3 villages to form one great village, however, tensions have risen when it comes to who will lead this unified village. Which is why we are going to investigate.
Naruto: eh? i don't get it?
Neji: Tsunade-sama is worried that someone might sabotage the unification?
Kakashi: Worse, Tsunade-sama fears that an assasination might occur.
Shikamaru: Right, if you take out the other kages you don't have any competition to become the unified leader. Also, by holding a chuunin exam, to "better relations" you guarantee that all 3 kages are there.
Shino: This could be a very serious threat indeed, we have no idea who could be plotting against who and what villages are involved if any.
Naruto: If it happens at the chuunin exam, then a lot of people could get hurt, we have to stop this no matter what
Shikamaru: It'll be troublesome, we can't blow our cover, it has to look like we are only there for the exam, or else they'll know something is up.
Kakashi: Right, which is why i will be doing most of the sneaking around.
Shino: I assume since Shikamaru is the ranking shinobi, he will be in charge while you are gone?
Neji: ...?
Kakashi: Right, Shikamaru and Neji will be left in charge. The first part of the exam deals with tag matches, which is why i chose neji to be a team leader aswell.
Shikamaru!?...
Shino!?...
Neji!?
Naruto!, you mean
Kakashi: Yes, the first part of the exam, you will be fighting with a partner.
Shino: What are the pairings?
Kakashi: Shino, you are with Shikamaru, Neji and naruto will be the second team.
Shikamaru: Is there anything else we should know before we head out?
Kakashi: Yes, but we'll talk about that later... oh one more thing, Shikamaru, you can't wear that vest you know...
Shikamaru: reluctantly takes off vest
Naruto: smiling ossu! let's head out!
the 5 faces looking to the sky, a new adventure, a new team.
