Chapter 1
"You want to see it, don't you?" a mysterious voice echoed from behind the sandy, yellow fence, which ran along the whole length of the allay way.
Stopping in her tracks, the pink haired girl turned towards the noise, recognising it instantly,
"Knock it off Naruto. We tried and failed already- just except it, knuckle head- we are never going to know."
A rustle followed, and the number one knuckle headed ninja jumped on top of his hiding place- an offended look plastered across his face.
"Who you calling knuckle head?!"
Giving her team mate a smile, Sakura rephrased her quote,
"I am you dolt- I just remember the last attempt- that was a complete failure!"
The boy's frown slipped upwards into a smile, which spread across his whole face-
"But this time- I have a better plan!" and to prove his point- he held up a small box.
Sakura stared at the item for barely a second, before she became instantly interested, however, Naruto- being the annoying person he was- decided to build up the tension even more.
"But first we need Saskue before I explain."
Now she felt obliged to follow, a blush creeping across her pale cheeks at the thought of her one and only, cheering a,
"So what are we waiting for then?!" as she started to rack her brain for where Saskue would be.
"No."
"Oh, but Saskue! We are actually going to see it this time!"
"Who said so?"
"I did!"
"Exactly."
"Hey, wait- what's that supposed to mean?!"
"You're an idiot- idiots don't make successful plans."
"Yeah but…"
"But what?"
"I… uh… I… got Sakura's approval…"
"Then you're both idiots."
"Hey! Insult me- but leave Sakura out of this!"
"Getting defensive aren't we?"
"No- I just… I… um…."
Sneering- the black haired teen turned away from the blond- confident of an easy win of an argument- but then Sakura interrupted, stopping him in his tracks.
"Naruto- stop arguing and show Saskue your weapon."
Curling his lip- Saskue spun on heel and glared at his teammates,
"It makes no difference what weapons you use- he has the sharingan, he can sense attacks and he won't even let us get within an arm's length from that mask!"
Drifting off into a daydream, Sakura giggled and waved a hand at Naruto,
"Oh Saskue- you're so smart… Maybe you should listen Naruto…"
Looking bewildered, both boys turned their heads at the sudden change of decision.
"Um… but Sakura… you said you liked my plan…"
Red crept into the pink haired girl's face, a fist started to be raised, ready for Naruto's face.
"Wait."
It was Saskue.
"What do you plan of doing anyway- I may be able to perfect your plan," if that is any good at all… he added in his mind.
A cheesy grin settled onto Naruto's face- confident that he had got his friends attention,
"THIS," He pulled a small mahogany box from out of his tool bag, "Is our key to success!"
Saskue's face fell.
"You're planning to knock his mask off with that?"
Still feeling overpowered with the attention he was earning, the golden haired teen lifted the lid slightly,
"BEHOLD! The weapon we can use to get that mask!"
Silence. An awkward one at that.
"Yeah… yeah… you can see what it is can't you guys?"
His black eyes turning doubtfully to Naruto, Saskue's voice was cold.
"It's a dart."
Shaking his head- blond spikes bouncing, Naruto corrected him-
"Nope, it's a sleeping dart!"
Blank faces once more.
"Oh, come on guys! We distract Sensei Kakashi long enough for Saskue to fire this dart at Kakashi. It's fool proof!"
"It isn't fool proof." Saskue stated, sounding very much bored by the whole thing.
Naruto's mouth dropped and his eyes bulged.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT FOOL PROOF?!" he roared- his eyes turning into narrow slits.
Just to drive Naruto off the edge, Saskue gave his famous, all-knowing smile.
That did it.
The spikey, blond haired boy grabbed the Uchiha by his shirt thrusting their faces together,
"Listen- this plan is 100- no 1000% fool proof- if you think there's a fault- tell me!"
Eyes wide at the sudden outburst, Saskue frowned-
"You really don't realise it- do you?"
"Well I would if you told me!"
"You only have one dart."
"So?"
"What if Kakashi- our jōnin
Level SENSEI dodges the dart?!"
Naruto was stumped. Saskue was right- there was a fault in the plan.
"Also," Saskue sneered- getting ready to rub salt in the wound, "It can't be fool proof- as it is a fool who came up with it!"
Steaming with rage, Naruto clenched his hands tight, and punched Saskue straight in the face- causing his nose to bust- spilling crimson blood down his chin.
"You're right Saskue-" Naruto hissed, "I am a fool- I didn't punch you with my knife."
"You wouldn't dare." Saskue threatened.
Naruto pulled one shining knife from his back pocket, and raised it above his head.
"STOP!"
It was Sakura.
"Stop it you two! Can we even form a plan without you going for each other's throats?! We are a TEAM! Please just act like one!"
Both boys hung their heads, then at the same moment spun- arms crossed over chest- and grunted.
Sakura sighed. They would never change…
"So what are we going to do then- Mr, 'I have the best plan'?" Naruto snorted.
Saskue turned.
"We move at night, when Kakashi is drowsy- then he's less likely to avoid our single dart." He paused for a glare at the creator of the plan, "You two," he nodded at his teammates, "Will knock on his door- try and catch him without his mask. I would have already snuck into his house- and while you speak to him- I will shoot the dart at his back."
Sakura nodded, and Naruto held up a hand,
"Um, Saskue- I've had a thought,"
"Dangerous" Saskue muttered, earning himself a glare.
"How are we going to see what's under the mask without him running away?"
Sakura went red as she opened her mouth,
"We tie him up…"
