A red haired sand ninja walked through the forest with his companions. They were all talking, one of them was particularly loud, about how they would complete this mission. It was a stupid mission. A few ninja from completely random teams had been put together and put on a mission to find some kind of amulet. They didn't know much about the amulet accept that it had some sort of power. Could it be any more vague? All they had to do was find it, guard it, and bring it back to Kohana. Why he and his brother were on a mission for the leaf village when they were both from the sand village no one knows. This mission would somehow end up absolutely-

"Gaara, we've decided that you're going to guard the amulet at night when we find it!" a blonde haired boy told him with his annoyingly loud voice.

"Huh? Wait don't I get a say in this?" Gaara asked frantically after being abruptly pulled from his train of thought.

"Well, you don't sleep, so it would be easiest if you guarded it at night, so no not really," a girl with brown hair put up into two buns answered.

"Plus you weren't paying attention, so it's your own fault," his brother, Kankuro added.

"So you already made up a plan?" he asked, wishing he had been listening. Come to think of it, why wasn't he?

"Yep!" Naruto said excitedly. "We've scheduled everyone's shift for guarding the thing!"

"And you didn't even try to get my attention?" he questioned, sounding a little annoyed.

"Well, we kinda did, it just didn't work," Tenten answered.

Gaara stopped questioning them and decided there was no use in arguing about it. It was bound to be their decision anyway. He just wished they had included him. H crossed his arms over his chest to show his irritation. Or maybe he was just thinking. I don't know! I'm just the narrator!

"Well, we still don't have it is, so making shifts to guard it was pretty useless," Kankuro pointed out. A look spread of stupidity across Naruto's face.

"Yea! But I was trying to think ahead!!" He shouted, trying to make his humiliation go away. He began to go on a full rant of which everyone tuned out. When he was done, Tenten spoke again. "Anyway, It's suppose to be somewhere around here, so we should probably start looking." She was right, they probably should.

"OH! I wanna check in that cave over there!" Naruto screamed.

"Naruto, that is such a cliché place to hide something! What do you think, it's going to just be sitting there on a shelf in the middle of a cave?" Kankuro told the ridiculously loud ninja. "That's not going to happen you hyper little-"

"Kankuro, for once he was right," Gaara told his brother as he looked over the blond ninja's shoulder. Sure enough, the amulet was in the most obvious, cliché place anyone could ever think of. Aren't I so creative?

"Ha! See? I told you-" he paused for a moment. "What do you mean 'for once'? I'm right… sometimes,"

"Wow, this mission is even dumber than I thought," Tenten said as she joined the two staring at the little gold and green amulet sitting on a pedestal. Naruto reached out to pick it up. Gaara swatted his hand away.

"Ow! Hey! What was that for?" he asked sounding slightly annoyed as he rubbed his now stinging hand.

"If the amulet was in a cliché place like this, don't you think there would be some giant, cliché , bolder is going to chase us out of this cliché cave once you pick that cliché amulet up of that cliché pedestal?" Gaara told him.

"Woa, you said cliché a lot in that sentence," Naruto announced. "Well, if you think it's so dangerous, you pick it up!"

"Huh? Why!"

"Because, if some giant bolder does chase us out of the cave, your sand will protect you,"

Gaara didn't say anything. He just glared at the annoying blonde boy for a moment before turning around to look at the amulet. Yea, this was going to be a big cliché mess. He picked it up with one swift movement and turned around and ran. He suddenly stopped when he realized, nothing was happening.

"This has to be the dumbest thing, IN THE WORLD!"
