Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but if i do i wouldn't be making this :P. In this fanfic they're all 18 so deal with it.
1.The Plan
Everyone was still searching for him, all of them thinking they could bring him back. Everyone tried everything just to get a hint, but nothing close enough. All thinking they could bring him back, but couldn't try, due to ninja shortage. Everyone except for a for a certain Hinata Hyuuga. She still loved Naruto, but she has never had a chance to go out with him due to the fact that he was always with Sakura now. She was sad to know that Sakura was finally responding his affection. She was always hoping that naruto would fall in love with her someday, but that day never came. She thought that maybe she looked ugly or something, and silently cried about the fact that Naruto didn't find her attractive. Hanabi would worry about her sister and ask her whats wrong, but she would always say nothing. Everyone else asked too, but they too would get the same response. But after a while, she just had to accept the fact that she was no match for Sakura. Maybe she could find someone for her and only her someday.
Today they were going on a mission. A simple mission. All they had to do was give the Kazekage a message. To put it weird, they did not even run across any trouble. Konoha was glad to hear that all recent missions had gone through without any trouble. ALL OF THEM.
"Something must be wrong."said Neji."We haven't gotten attacked by any rogue ninja, bandits, or thieves"."Something has to be wrong here"."You never know nii-san, maybe they gave up entirely", said Hinata. Hinata, always the optimistic. She also didn't stutter anymore aroung him due to the fact that that was the requirement for him training her."I doubt it. I think they might be planning another invasion like what happened with Orochimaru"."Neji, you and i both know that that isn't the case. Tsunade-sama has sent Anbu once to spy on the countries willing to do such a thing to see if they were planning anything relating to an invasion and so far nothing"."Also, we got representatives for us with our allies.
Besides, nobody has had anything against us for anything"."It's been ...peaceful...".Neji looked at her, noticing the momentary blissful look at the thought, then nodded. She then gave him a sly look and asked," So how has TenTen been? He immediately blushed a crimson red, but only for a few seconds." She's been okay, though i wish Lee would leave us alone for a few seconds, a few days at least", he added, chuckling in spite of himself."Anyway Tsunade-same wanted to see us"."A mission?".He nods."Let's go then".
In the Hokage Tower
Both walk in to see Naruto, Sakura, Shino, and Kiba standing there."Good, your both here, now i can start explaining the mission. This is a simple C rank mission, but one necessary to us. I know that all of you has barely passed the last missions due to the sudden highway roberies, so i want you all to pass with flying colors. Except for you Neji, your team leader so make sure nothing bad happens. Your employer wants an escort to the Village Hidden in the Sand. There, you will merely drop him off and then you will come back. You are to be given the total of 3 1/2 weeks to finish this, but i doubt that much will be needed. You are given that so you can take your time, since this mission is just on person, but a highly respected ninja who must be given the utmost respect."So what are we waiting for let's GOOO!!, who knows, maybe we'll run into Sasuke-teme"!,exclaims Naruto." Don't yell, you little twerp, I can hear you loud and clear."
Meanwhile with Team Hawk
"Do you think it was a good idea turning down Madara?",said Karin."Yes, i don't think i'd want to be controlled by someone who helped murder my clan, besides he was getting annoying", says Sasuke, taking a good look at the landscape."Besides, if you wanted to join him, why didn't you?"."I did not, i was just wondering why you changed your mind at the last minute"."Sasuke probably has his reasons so leave him alone unless you want to be alone with him", Suigetsu says."WWHHAAAAATTTT!! She punches Suigetsu in the face, causing it to change to water immediately.Jugoo just stares at them, happy that he hasnt tried to kill anybody and enjoying hearing the animals around them.Then he looks at Sasuke and asks "So when are we going to go to the Hidden Leaf?"."Soon Jugoo, just let them enjoy the peace that they're enjoying."Besides, i wanna let the dobe try to bring me back with his "you don't know what you're getting yourself into" and "Orochimaru just want's to use you" speech again,
besides i want to see how much better hes gotten over the years"."Besides i can't right now with Akatsuki running around. I can't put my second goal in place if Akatsuki is still alive, they'll ruin everything."Do you think it was wise to double-cross them at the last minute just to get they're weaknesses to bring back to report"."Yes, i believe so, the Leaf want Akatsuki dead and so do i so i guess i should start coming back, besides i don't think the Hokage wants the Sharingan in a different village".
Back in the Leaf
"Cmon lets go already we don't have much time to lose", said Naruto. The man refused to say his name saying that if his enemies heard it they will be attacked with no mercy. That stopped all the questions and they kept going.Both Byakugan users had their doujutsu on the whole time, Kiba was scouting ahead to make sure nobody surprises them, and Naruto and Sakura were with the man with no name(since he didn't give away his name and i'm not ruining the surprise).
Team Hawk
"Sasuke, the bird is telling me that there are ninja a few miles away from here, heading to the Village Hidden in the Sand"."She says that they're around a man, judging from from the description of the headband, she says it's a Sand nin. "Hm, ask your friend to see them again and come back to describe them to you so you can tell me"."Okay".He then talks to the bird, then it flies away.
Kiba and Akamaru
So what do you think Akamaru"?"It's a little too quiet isn't it".Akamaru barks, agreeing to what it's master just told him. "Nah, i think it's just me o well better get back with the others.
Back with Naruto
"Man, this is taking too long we shouldn't be taking this much time just going there"!!"Shut up baka we'll be there in a while and besides, Tsunade-sama has given us a lot of extra time and that leaves us with at least a week to ourselves at the end". "Besides, i dont think this escort mission will be that troubling".
"Ok Sakura, but only if you promise to go on a date with me when we go back to the Leaf"."Baka"."Fine,
but i choose where were going to go"."Okay"!" Look, a little birdie". "Quickly, let's catch it before it tries to escape. Naruto tries to catch, but misses, hitting himself on a nearby tree.He suddenly turn's to Hinata and Neji and says, "Hey guys, come over here, i don't think we should be scouting.Turns to Kiba."There isn't anybody here." He gets four nods (counting Akamaru) and then they all travel together.)
Hinata and Neji
"Nii-san, is it me or are we wasting our chakra for nothing"? "No, i don't think so, this way, in case of an attack, well be ready for anything"."Fine, but i think it's a total waste of time"."Ok then, if we go through here without a confrontation, ill acknowledge that you were right, and we won't use byakugan coming back, at least you won't"."No, you have to agree to it too"."Fine".
Team Hawk
"So"? "She's told me that it's an escort, the ninja are from the Leaf, one of them has a bright orange jumpsuit. Sasuke smirked."Perfect, as soon as the dobe starts going back to the Leaf, i'll surprise him"."Who else is with him"? "Jugoo asks, then listens to the bird for a while."Besides Naruto, a girl with pink hair, a girl and a boy with white eyes, and a kid with a dog. Sasuke thought about it for a minute."ok, so we won't be able to surprise them due to the Hyuuga's they have so we'll wait for them near the Leaf"."At least, with their guard down".
I know that Sasuke doesn't show any interest right now but he will soon enough. Ill make him muahahaha... So what do you guy's think of my first fanfic. Please rate. Im nothing without critics.
