*Orochimaru's Hideout*
Sasuke walked into the room and stood in front of the desk Orochimaru was sitting at.
"You need something?" Sasuke asked, sounding a bit annoyed.
"I have something for you to do for me…" was the response.
"Hm, well… what is it?"
Orochimaru tossed him a map, which was easily caught.
"There's this crazy lady, who lives just on the border of the fire country. Rumor says she's a whack-job who can do black magic; so, naturally, Konoha's going to come in soon. I need you to bring her here."
"No."
Orochimaru frowned.
"But-"
"No."
"Sasuke…"
"No."
Silence.
"Sasuke, just this one errand…"
"No, no and NO! You said nothing that had to do with Konoha, or anything close to it. This is more than with Konoha, so no. Bye."
Sasuke turned around to leave.
"Just listen!" Orochimaru exclaimed as he stood up, "The sooner you get this done, the less chance you'll get caught up with those ninja!"
Sasuke curled his hand into a fist and hit it lightly on his forehead.
'Damn it. It's obviously almost the mark of the end of year three. AND I'M GOING NOWHERE! I have got to get out of here… and this could be the perfect time to do it. But right now, I don't have time to think; I'll plan along the way…'
Sasuke sighed and slowly turned around.
"Fine," he responded.
Orochimaru carefully sat down, smirking a bit.
"We'll do things your way.
-Konoha: Hokage's Office-
"Ok, Hokage-sama, so what's the mission?" Sakura asked Tsunade, who was sitting at her desk in front of her.
"Yeah, we wanna get this over with!" Naruto added, "We've been going on mission after mission for two months straight! It's sickening!"
Tsunade sighed.
"Ok, ok. Here's the mission. The ANBU told me that Orochimaru's going after some lady who lives in a small house along the border of the fire. So you two are going to get there first, and get the lady outta there. Then we're going to send a team of ANBU to capture Orochimaru's men and try to get some information from them. We even think Sasuke's going…"
*hint hint*
"OK! LET'S GOOOO!!!" Naruto exclaimed.
He shot out of his chair and towards the door.
Sakura sighed and stood up.
She bowed and walked out the door after Naruto.
