When Darkness Falls
Chapter 2:
Shikamaru looked around at all the three man cells that the others had formed, realizing his wasn't the only one with gennin in it; he sighed from relief. Jairaiya's team consisted of Anko, Shizune, and himself. All of which had been with Orochimaru at some point in time. Kakashi's team consisted of Sakura, Iruka, and the copycat ninja. However it was gai's team who surprised shikamaru, it had two people that he had never seen before. "Ok everyone listen up! Here's the rest of the plan, your three man cells all serve a purpose: cell a, Jairaiya will lead you to the sound compound and proceed to infiltrate their base and gather as much information as possible, cell b and c, gai and kakashi will lead you to the north and south part of the border to act as defenses. And finally team c, shikamaru will lead you into the thunder village in order to seek help, however it will be a long and difficult journey, so I ask that you would also take a medical ninja." she finished and a beautiful young girl (maybe 12-13) stepped around the corner. Tsunade spoke again, "This is sakina she is the best medic in the village aside from myself and sakura she will help you a lot." at this tremendous compliment the girl blushed making her look even cuter "hi guys I hope ill be able to help." she smiled and reminded naruto of Hinata greatly. Shikamaru and all the others left, preparing for their individual missions for tomorrow.
