Part One: The Mission
"Hi my name is Naruto Uzumaki and my life sucks! Okay now that you know that, let me explain why..."
One year earlier
"UZUMAKI!!"
"Yes Tsunade?" came the short reply of the over-worked blonde.
"Would you be so kind as to tell me what this article says...?" Tsunade's voice dripped with fake sweetness. Naruto shuddered as he walked across the crowed busy room. He stopped for a moment to look at the golden name plate over the door to Tsunade's office. "Tsunade KPD Head Officer''
"You needed me ma'am?" Naruto's voice was laden with agitation, for he knew what was about to happen.
Boom! "FOUR PEOPLE NARUTO!! FOUR PEOPLE!!! How does a top ranked officer allow four people to not only see him when he is on an undercover assignment, but also get them injured in the process!?" If it hadn't been for natural human science, fumes would have been emitting from Tsunade's head at that very moment.
Naruto sighed deeply as he tried to explain his situation, "There was no other choice. If I didn't reveal myself to those civilians they would have followed me."
"True, but if they hadn't followed you they wouldn't have gotten shot now would they?" Tsunade's face was both triumphant and solemn. "I'm sorry about this Naruto, you are one of our best, but because of your stupidity time and time again you get our office stuck in more binds then criminals. So for your punishment I am putting you on a suspension mission." Tsunade stood up from her large desk and walked over to a table that lined the wall. "This is your new assignment." An envelope was placed in Naruto's hands and he was pushed out of the office. "Don't screw this one up, OK?" Tsunade flashed a playful smile at the blonde and closed the door.
Naruto opened the envelope up and the first thing he pulled out was a picture of a boy roughly his age, maybe a year or two younger. The boy had jet black hair and obsidian eyes. A look of distaste was on the boys beautiful features. For seconds Naruto just stared at the picture, wondering how a boy could look so beautiful.
He was brought back into reality when his co-worker, friend, and not to mention room-mate, breathed into his ear. "Hmm... do we have a new mission to screw up, mister nice guy?" Naruto frowned distastefully at Kiba and walked out of the crowded office and into the hallway where he was yet again disturbed from his staring contest with the boy in the picture. This time however an icy melody of rhythmic words parted his eyes from the picture.
"Can you direct me to Mr. Uzumaki?" Naruto looked into the face of the boy, or man rather who had spoken to him. Dark eyes met with his azure ones, and Naruto knew almost instantly who the man standing in front of him was. Quickly flipping through the folder in his hands, Naruto found what he was looking for: an ID.
"Sasuke Uchiha is it not?" Naruto continued to look at the ID, taking off of it important information he would need in the near future. '6'4, obsidian eyes, one year younger than me, thin but muscular body frame, man this guy is a freaking sex god!'
Sasuke's stoic attitude wavered if only for a moment. For this had been the first time someone didn't regard to him in an almost godly way. Although his surprise, and perhaps happiness, subsided and his attitude reverted back to its normal fashion. "Yes that is me, I will repeat my question only once more. Can you direct me to Mister Uzumaki Naruto?"
Naruto's azure eyes showed an honest excitement as he replied, "That would be me!"
Sasuke stared into the face of the boy he had been looking for with that flash of surprise once again thinking, 'You've got to be kidding me.'
"There has got to be a mistake, I am supposed to meet this towns' finest assassin slash officer. Not their youngest recruit." Sasuke sighed, which was something most people didn't get to witness. He pushed past Naruto and entered the room. He scanned the room looking for someone who might fit the description better.
Naruto was dumbstruck. Had he just been insulted?Naruto felt the boy push by him as he entered to the room. Naruto steamed for a second, then followed Sasuke into the room. He watched Sasuke fruitlessly searched the room for someone who looked a bit better than himself. Naruto tapped Sasuke's shoulder very lightly and smiled sweetly when the boy turned his head to connect his face with Naruto's fist.
Whoops and hollers were heard as the two males fought. Of course by the time Tsunade came out of her cluttered office to investigate Naruto had already pinned and handcuffed Sasuke. A brilliant smile flashed over his features as Naruto drug the unconscious boy out of the room.
"Ow..." Again the rhythmic tone of Sasuke's voice played with Naruto's ears as he sped down the pavement.
"Finally awake are we, precious?" Naruto shook off the effect of Sasuke's voice and playfully teased him. Sasuke sat up in his seat, straightening up and rubbing his head lightly with his left hand.
"Did you have hit me that hard?" Sasuke's serious tone was gone and was now replaced by that of his true age, eighteen. Sasuke himself noted the change and automatically tried to revert back to the unusual tone but found it harder than normal.
"You know as well as I do that if I hadn't done what I did you wouldn't have believed me to begin with. So now that you are aware that I am the best, let's say we start all over shall we?" Naruto noted the change of tone in the other's vocals and smiled. He extended a hand as if to shake Sasuke's own, but was rejected as Sasuke turned his head to sulk in the corner of the car.
Although it looked rather stupid, Sasuke sulked in the corner of his side of the car. 'How come I got stuck with this guy, and why can't I get my bearings? This is totally stupid!" Naruto stared forward out over the road, pouting a little.
"So Uchiha, what do you need me for anyway? Seems like you are OK in the muscle department." As soon as the words had left his lips, he regretted even saying them. 'Shit I just hit on him. Shit shit shit shit!' Sasuke stopped his sulking for a moment to look over at the blonde with a questioning look.
"You just... no. What...?" Sasuke dismissed the notion for a moment to address a more important matter. "Well you see, my parents just died, or rather were killed by my older brother , Itachi Uchiha, and frankly my financial advisers are worried for my safety so they recommended I live with someone for a while."
"Wait! Did you just say LIVE with someone?!" Naruto interrupted Sasuke with his outburst. Quickly, he used his free hand to search the pocket on the side of his suburban truck for the envelope that contained the details on his assignment. Sure as day there it was two plane tickets, enough money for two years worth of food, and a letter written in Tsunade's handwriting.
"You can drive right?" Naruto didn't wait for a reply. He took hold of Sasuke, animatedly switching their two bodies. Naruto hastily read the letter as Sasuke figured what just happened and gave off a scoff.
Dear Naruto,
If you are reading this you did exactly what I expected of you. You took off with the boy without even reading the details to your mission. I am also guessing that you hadn't expected a two year mission. Well you had been ragging me for a vacation so think of this as a two year vacation. Here are the details; you are to take him far from here. The tickets contained in this letter leave for western Japan in two days. All I have to say to you now is get some clothes and enjoy the beach.
Love,
Auntie Tsunade
"OH MY GOD!"
