Neji awoke the next day to the sounds of birds chirping. He looked over to see sasuke already awake. He exited the tent and seen sasuke standing by the cliff with his arms folded over his chest. Neji went and standed next to him…from where they were you could see the whole forest…but not the village…..perhaps that's why it was called the village hidden in the leaves.
Sasuke looked to neji "you should go to bed earlier so you can rise earlier" neji closed his eyes "im fine" sasuke then left neji alone and went to dismantle the tent. Once that was completed and it was packed they continued there trip….it was a peaceful day…no rouge ninja in sight they made great time as they passed though other villages and made it though forests and mountains. Neji and sasuke were mainly silent to each other and when they did speak it was always in disagreement such as neji said water should be conserved since they didn't know when they could fill it up next while sasuke said being dishydrated wasn't worth the risk.
Once they reached the top of the highest mountain they could see the hidden stone village in the distance "there it is" sasuke said "there is where the games are" just hearing those words made Neji wonder "games….how come the games were never heard of until now" Neji wanted to ask sasuke but didn't feel like wanting to start a argument.
"well…lets keep going" sasuke said "we don't want to get to comfortable just yet" neji nodded "but the village is still at least a day away" sasuke nodded "what type of games do you think we are getting into" sasuke asked neji sighed "I don't think these games are what most think they are" sasuke nodded "I know…I agree…but we cant assume" neji remained silent as the night shined above them.
Once the tent was set back up and they had food in there guts they sat and thought silently to each other. "I think lady tsunade chose me and you for a bigger reason" neji asked sasuke looked to him "what do you mean" sasuke asked "well…she could have sent shino...he has tactical skill…and choji has the akimichi pills…..why me and you" sasuke seen neji's point of logic "im not sure….but im sure we will find out soon enough" neji nodded as he laid down and went to sleep. Sasuke stsyed awake for a bit and though "Neji makes a point…why us…what point was there…lady tsunade knew we don't get along…anyother time she would avoid combining us…so why now…..why now" sasuke laid down and went to sleep as the thoughts went through his mind
