It was just like any other warm mornings in the streets of Konoha when Naruto was making his way towards the Hokage tower. He took his time though, since he thought it was only fair that he didn't need to rush himself for a mission on his day off. Usually he'll be excited over new missions, sometimes he'll force Tsunade to give him one. But lately, the missions have been taking a lot of his free time away. But Naruto hadn't really thought of that when he complained to Tsunade over how little missions he had been receiving, now he knows why; to rest, spend time with friends, ramen at the one and only Ichiraku's. But Tsunade finally gae in to Naruto, thinking she might as well benefit from his energy and quit hearing his nagging all the time. That is, until Naruto came back and told her to slow down with the missions, so a couple of months of were decided as long as he would continue training. But this wasn't an ordinary mission of transporting cargos or protecting Kings or Lords, in fact the mission didn't involve any traveling outside the village, it shall be held inside it.

Naruto spotted the door to Tsunade's office and began to reach for the doorknob before someone else came running down from behind him, impatiently pushing him out of the way and into Tsunade's office. After Naruto had realized what had just happened, he was about to flip the guy off before he heard Tsunade's uproar from inside her office.

"ANOTHER ONE!?" She yelled. Naruto poked his head through the door to see what the commotion was all about. Everyone took a step back at the sight of the Hokage and gulped, including Naruto, who still at the door but hid himself from view from anyone inside the room. He didn't want to get involved, he knew better than to mess with Tsunade when she was like this. But it was impossible NOT to eavesdrop on the conversation and for that, Naruto cursed himself for his curiosity!

"Y-Y-Yes Lady Hokage" the man who had pushed passed Naruto before, stuttered.

"WHERE IS THAT BRAT?!" The heat Tsunade had generated from her outrage seemed to have made the entire village even hotter than what it already was. Naruto gulped even more and felt his hands sweat when he knew that she was referring to him. 'DAMMIT! I AM INVOLVED IN THIS!' Naruto thought to himself and cringed.

"He'll be here soon, Lady Tsunade. I have asked Sakura to relay your request to him, I'm sure he'll show up any second now" Shizune said and from the way she said it, Naruto knew he didn't even have to look through walls or to even be inside that room to know that Shizune was also sweating and hiding her nervousness behind a smile while holding Tomtom. Anyone who knew her, would not want to mess with her right now.

"Dammit! Let's just send an ANBU squad after him and let them drag him in here" Naruto heard a loud bang on a table coming from inside the room, knowing very well about Tsunade's habit of punching things as a way to release the anger boiled up inside her. Actually, when you thought about it, punching things was just her habit in general, but at this moment something has really snapped her last nerve; snapped, crushed and burned it. Naruto gained the courage and placed his hand on the doorknob and was about to turn it before all the courage was completely drained out of him. He placed his forehead towards the hard wood of the door. He started to imagine all sorts of things Tsunade might do to him IF he entered the room, thinking it was his fault she was acting this way. "Have I done something wrong?" He thought over and over again as he began thinking of the time he started a rumor of Tsunade he made up about a week ago. "Was it because of that? I could always blame Kiba" he tried forcing a good excuse out of him he could tell to Tsunade to avoid her wrath.

"Kuso! Baka!" he muttered to himself as he punched himself on the head. He hadn't quite thought the plan through when he first started the rumor. It was just for laughs, but he knew Tsunade wouldn't take that. He was quickly pulled away from his thoughts as he felt the doorknob turn and his body falling forward; he fell on top of the man from before.

"YOU IDIOT! HAVE YOU BEEN STANDING THERE THIS ENTIRE TIME?!" Tsunade yelled at Naruto who gave the man a thanks-a lot-for-nothing glare as he rubbed his head that hit the floor. But the hearts of both the men lying on the floor stopped when they heard the heavy and powerful footsteps that belonged to Tsunade started approaching them. The footsteps sounded as though it could easily do some serious damage to the both of them, if not killed, by just one kick. Naruto looked up, he was now sweating everywhere. He started muttering to himself how much this was his fault and should have expected it. Tsunade took Naruto by the collar of his shirt as all color and life drained out of Naruto. "WHEN I CALL YOU UP HERE, I EXPECT YOU TO COME ON TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS URGET! THE WHOLE WORLD COULD BE IN DANGER AND YOU'RE JUST-" Tsunade continued rambling on and on as she went on a rampage on Naruto, keeping his feet away from the ground and shaking him to get some bit of sense into him. Then she sat on the chair behind her desk after she threw him onto the chair in front of it.

Naruto had lost all his five senses and color and began drooling as both hands dangled loosely on his sides as if they were already disconnected from his joints. "Now then," a calmer Tsunade emerged, "Where were we?" she rested her elbows on her desk and held her hands together as she closed her eyes to think. "Ah yes, Naru-… WAKE UP!" Tsunade's fierce citrine-colored eyes glared at the lifeless boy and as soon as she did, his wandering soul came back to him and bought him back to life.

"Naruto..." Tsunade began but was cut off by Naruto.

"I'M SO, SO SORRY GRANDMA TSUNADE! I CAN EXPLAIN!" He yelled to let Tsunade hear him out.

"Explain what?" She raised an eyebrow.

"You know! About the rumors I've been spreading about you!"

"WHAT?!"

"What?"

"Nevermind!" Tsunade began rubbing her temples. "We don't have time for this. You need to gather up the Rookie 9 in here immediately. We have no time to waste. I have already told Sakura to gather the girls and you only need to gather the boys, now hurry!"

"What happened?" He asked troubled by the way Tsunade was reacting to the whole situation.

"When everyone is here I'll tell you so I won't have to repeat myself."

"You seem worried" Naruto pointed out, feeling the same way, but towards Tsunade. Tsunade sighed as she turned her attention to the view of the village through her office window.

"There has been numerous disappearings since yesterday, all of which are females, including infants. We'll need all the help we can get to stop this. Whoever this guy is, he is doing it right beneath our noses; from thin air. I have informed your teachers to start taking up mission requests, so less ninjas will be needed; you know, two or more genin are equivalent to the strength of at least 1 jonin, the ANBU will be needed to keep watch over the village, protecting the civilians undercover, few of them are actually searching for leads or trails from outside the village. We need to find these disappearing girls before anything happens to them and…" Tsunade trailed off. "Look what you made me do you idiot! We're wasting time! Go get them!" Naruto nodded and was on his way out before he was stopped by Tsunade.

"Oh, and Naruto?" Naruto turned around towards her. "Don't you dare be late again" Tsunade glared at him threateningly which sent shivers down Naruto's spine. He gulped then ran out the Hokage tower. And as soon as he did, Tsunade became curious. "Shizune!"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade?"

"Let's go!" Tsunade shouted out as she stood from her seat.

"Where to?" Shizune gave Tsunade a confused look.

"Into the village of course"

"Why? Aren't we supposed to wait for the Rookie 9?" Shizune was receiving an odd aura in the air, she knew this wasn't good. But still she managed a smile behind her nervousness.

"It will only take a minute. I'm going to find out what rumors Naruto spread about me, so I know how hard to hit him next time I see him" she said as she had an evil look on her face while cracking her knuckles. "Just you wait, you idiot"

As Naruto was outside the building he had accidentally bumped into Hinata.

"Hinata!" Naruto exclaimed with a big smile.

"N-N-Naruto-kun?" she stuttered and blushing madly that she bumped into his chest.

"Hey, Hinata. Can I ask you a favor?" Hinata only nodded, she was still in her own world. She continued blushing when she realized how hard the surface of Naruto's chest was.

"Good, follow me!" Naruto said as they jumped on top of the rooftops. Hinata followed and was about to ask what Naruto wanted but he beat her to it. "Do you know where Kiba, Shino and Neji are?" She continued nodding; the only thing that came out of her mouth was a cuss due to the fact she was unable to let out anything audible through her mouth when she was around him. "Can you tell them to head towards the Hokage Tower while I gather up Bushy brow, Choji and Shikamaru? Granny needs to see us" She nodded and was about to head into another direction before Naruto continued "Thanks Hinata! And you're needed there too by the way, in case Sakura hadn't told you yet" she has, she wanted to tell him, but yet again, her mouth failed her.

She tried looking away from him hoping it might help her gain enough courage to at least say something. "T-Than-ks, Naruto-kun" she smiled widely to herself of her accomplishment and with that they went their separate ways.

"You're welcome, Hinata-chan." He whispered.
