Wassup y'all, this is Kiwiman here, to tell you the usual:
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto*sigh*
Chapter 1: A New Mission
She couldn't take the hate, the sadness anymore. She could just take her kunai knife in hand and...
"Hinata-sama, you have a mission debriefing in 5 min., so get ready," Neji said while hanging into her room.
"Hai, Neji-niisan," Hinata sighed.
She left in her usual attire, and her large jacket. Once she got there, she saw Sakura and Shikamaru lightly chatting about the mission.
"Hinata, you're finally here, I already explained the mission to these two, but to sum it all up, you are searching for 2 shinobi of the leaf that we lost contact with 2 weeks ago. We were getting suspicious, so we sent a hawk to search for them. But the hawk hasn't returned yet. So that is you're mission. You have until 5:00 today to pack," Tsunade explained. At that, she dismissed them.
Hinata rushed home to pack, for it was 4:30 already. After she finished, she picked up Naruto's picture and said "Where are you?"
5:00 that day
"Kunichiwa Hinata, I guess we're just waiting for Shikimaru now,"Sakura said akwardly.
"I'm right here, I just fell asleep," a voice said from behind them. The two turned around to see Shikamaru, with his usual bored expression on his face.
"Oh, sorry we didn't notice you Shikimaru, we were just talking," Hinata said quietly.
"It's okay, but let's get moving on this troublesome mission," Shikimaru said, scratching the back of his head.
And they were off..
2 hours later, they were in the desert heading for Suna, when they heard a groan. They headed towards the source of the noise, and saw a man with brown hair and black eyes on the ground, looking as if he was beaten. Sakura healed him up, and he tried to say something, but she just told him not to waste his energy. When they knew he was all good and ready to go, they left him there, because he could take care of himself. Finally able to talk he asked the group:
"Shikimaru, is that you?"
"How do you know my name," Shikimaru asked nervously.
"It's me, can't you tell, don't you remember all the trouble we used to get into in the academy?" the man asked, "and I think my perv of a sensei sent for you all to help."
"But I don't see any fore head protector on you," Sakura interrupted.
"Yes I do, it's right-"the man stopped with his hand on his forehead," oh now I know why you don't see it.
"Why," Hinata asked.
"Because of the Genjutsu my sensei put on me before he disappeared to who knows where makes me look not me," the man explained.
"So can you release the Genjutsu," Sakura asked in her know-it-all voice.
"Well, the thing is, my sensei never taught me how, but can one of you do it? It will take a minute to wear off though," the man said scratching the back of his head.
"Kai," Hinata said with her hands together in the hand seal.
"Thanks," the man said, flashing a toothy grin. Then a puff of smoke appeared, and there stands the one and only...
"N-naruto-kun," Hinata finally stuttered out.
"Yeah, It's good ol' me," Naruto said while scratching the back of his head.
"You could have just said you're name!" Shikimaru and Sakura yelled indignantly.
"Yeah, but things would have gotten, akward," Naruto saidas if ending the subject.
"Lets go home," Shikimaru said in his usual monotone voice.
"While we're walking, I have a new song I could teach all of you," Naruto said excitedly.
"NO!" Sakura and Shikimaru yelled.
10:00 p.m.
Tsunade-sensai, we're back," Sakura called to Tsunade in a slightly tired voice.
"Uuuuhh," moaned a drunk Tsunade.
"You guys go back to you're houses while I turn in the mission report," Sakura said, nodding to the piece of paper in her hands.
"Sakura, my house is burned down, a KB told me," Naruto said.
"Then hang out in here, think of it as a practice for when you're Hokage," Sakura said with fake enthusiasm.
"DATTEBAYO!!" Naruto shouted to the heavens, making Sakura regret what she said.
"What a drag," Sakura mumbled, quoting Shikimaru.
"Bye Sakura, see you tomorrow at training!" Naruto said excitedly.
Sakura walked out of Tsunade's office to see Hinata waiting for her to tell her what happened.
"Naruto's sleeping in Tsunade-sensai's office until morning, when Tsunade-sensai will give Naruto a new house. But before she gives him a new house, he will probably be beaten up for waking her up so early. That would be funny," Sakura explained.
"Not really, but I'm really glad Naruto-kun's back," Hinata said quietly.
"Yeah, I am too, Hinata. But you should get home before you're parents beat you," Sakura said in a slightly sarcastic voice.
"Oh, no," Hinata said, playing along.
"Sayonara, Hinata," Sakura said waving goodbye to Hinata.
"Sayonara," said Hinata, waving goodbye.
