"That's so lame, man!"
"Stop shouting, idiot."
Dark eyes swept over the small Ramen shop, the few customers that were present had ignored the outburst made by the two men seated at the counter.
"Seriously, though, do you think that Tsunadae is punishing you for something?" Naruto Uzumaki asked as he finished up his third bowl of Ramen.
"Che. For what Dobe? This is a high paying mission." Sasuke Uchiha pushed his empty bowl aside.
"Well, who is going with on this royal babysitting job?" Naruto smirked when his best friend scowled.
"An Anbu team is being sent. The team includes Neji Hyuga and Shisui Uchiha" Sasuke stated.
"What! Your cousin gets to go! I haven't been on a mission in a month, he goes on missions like every week." Naruto crossed his arms.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. He was grateful for the mission, Naruto was right on missions being scares, but he wasn't overly pleased with his particular mission.
Tsunadae had called the younger Uchiha into her office three days ago to inform him that an extremely wealthy oil investor requested shinobi protection while a large deal was in transaction.
He had agreed quickly when she'd informed him of the pay and who his team would be. There had been a small stipulation, the one that Naruto was currently claiming to be 'lame'.
"Well I wouldn't want to go on a mission where I'd be stuck wearing a mask twenty-four seven."
"Hn." Sasuke agreed with Naruto on that. The Hokage had stopped Sasuke as he was leaving her office to relay the stipulation of always wearing a mask while he was there.
"It was his one request. He payed extra for you all to be, well, covered." Tsunadae rolled her eyes when she'd explained everything.
"Why exactly?"
The Hokage smirked. The young Uchiha did not like the glint in her eyes. "He is the proud, very protective father of five daughters."
Sasuke released a deep sigh. He had told himself that he was grateful for the mission countless times since he had left the office of the Hokage.
"You think they are hot?"
Sasuke was pulled from his thoughts, his dark eyes slid to Naruto. "Don't start." He hissed out.
Naruto threw his hands up in defense. "Woah man, didn't know that was such a touchy subject."
"Hn." Sasuke's shoulders slumped a fraction. Naruto waited patiently, he knew his long time best friend would talk when he was ready.
"When my parents found out about this mission, they began insisting nonstop that I find a damn bride amongst one of these daughters." Sasuke downed the last of his drink angrily.
"Well, it couldn't hurt."
Sasuke nearly choked. His best friend received his strongest glare.
"Don't get pissed. They just want you to be happy. I've been telling you for years to get a girlfriend. Look at me! I've been dating Hinata for three years. We have all been seeing someone. Except you."
Sasuke remained silent. He hated to admit it, but he envied his friends' happiness. He witnessed nearly every day his close friends and their significant others. Sasuke's older brother had even married last year. At 24 years old, Sasuke had certainly thought about marriage but no female had interested him enough to pursue.
"I doubt I'll find anyone worth marrying at a household full of spoiled rotten girls." Sasuke glanced at the file on the stool next to him.
"You never know, man. So, which rich family will you be babysitting anyways?" Naruto asked.
"The Haruno family."
