Thank you so much for the reviews, really appreciate the kindness haha x)
There's a bit more action in this one (Not that type of action, sorry)
Naruto and Sakura stared at each other for a short moment before answering,
"Who is it?" Naruto's voice shook slightly
"It is Sai. We have a mission; you have ten minutes to get ready! Meet us at the front gates." The voice said before disappearing.
Naruto quickly rose off of Sakura's blushing body before straightening his shirt and running a hand through his messy hair. Sakura did the same, looking anywhere except his eyes
"We should do this again some time." Sakura gave a shy smile before disappearing out of his door.
The night wind was cold against her bare arms and it whirled through her short pink hair. Once she had arrived home she packed a few clothes, weapons, and then headed for the front gates. What had just happened with Naruto? Had she seriously just done that? What did she even feel for Naruto?
She shook all the thoughts away and headed for her team.
Everyone else was already there waiting when she arrived.
"Where were you?" Kakashi asked, one eyebrow rose
"I was just packing a few things," she defended, "What is this mission anyway?"
As they all reached their designated camp side, Kakashi sat them all down.
"Our mission objective is to guide Kasumi here," he pointed towards the small girl who sat across from them, "towards the Sand village."
"It is nice to meet you all." She said quietly.
She had waist length, sand coloured hair, honey brown eyes, and slightly tanned skin. Kasumi was maybe just a year younger than them, but she was anything but scared.
"I promise that we will get you to the Sand village!" Naruto grinned confidently.
The girls cheeked blushed before she have a slight nod,
"Thank you."
"We will be setting of in two minutes." Kakashi signalled
"Kasumi, get on my back, we will be able to move faster that way." Naruto smiled.
The girls hesitantly crawled on top of the blonds back before nodding once more. A moment of jealousy passed through Sakura's system before she had managed to fully hide this internal feeling. She shook away the thoughts and proceeded along towards the sand village among the others.
As they neared the end of the forest, an unknown chakra appeared behind them.
Naruto brought out a Kunai, and Sakura pulled on one of her gloves, ready for whatever approached them. In an instant a whirling kunai shot passed Sakura's head, and in one glance she noticed an explosive tag attached to it.
"Move!" Sakura shouted, before jumping out of the way.
There was a thud as Naruto and Kasumi landed somewhere towards her right, and then the loud explosion roared from behind her. She closed her eyes just in time, as a storm of sand flew their way. After a few seconds she re-opened her eyes to find that the dust was just starting to disappear. In front of her stood two shadowed figures. She rose to her feet as fast as she could, and pulled her fists into a defending stance.
Most of the dust had vanished, enough for her to see the headbands of the two Nin in front of her. They were from the hidden village of rain.
The two figures both with pale skin and dark hair stepped forward, a girl and boy. To the side of Sakura Naruto stepped out from where he had been hiding with Kasumi.
"What do you guys want?" Naruto stepped beside Sakura
"We need the girl. Kasumi, one of the sand councillors granddaughter!" the female shouted towards them
"Sorry, but we can't do that. I made a promise to get her to the sand village safe and sound." Naruto grinned.
"Fine. We will just have to take her from you." The man stepped forward, "Kasumi Juusha no jutsu!" the man shouted.
In an instant around twenty other shinobi appeared. The stalked closer towards Naruto and Sakura.
Naruto ran up to one of the attackers, "Kage buushin no jutsu!" around ten shadow clones appeared and helped to attack the other shinobi.
As soon as a shadow clones foot struck one of the attacker's face it blurred, and misshaped, but never actually disappeared. Instead the face turned back to normal, and continued to corner Naruto and Sakura.
"What the hell!" Naruto gasped
"It's a type of Genjutsu!" Sakura called from behind him
There was too many of them. How could they handle all of this?
"Rasengan!" Naruto called as he charged forth, the spiralling chakra poised for attack in his hand.
The genjutsu's face once again blurred but never disappeared.
"Mangekyou Sharingan, Kamui!"
In less than a second the whole Genjutsu disappeared and the two rain shinobi were left speechless.
Sakura turned to see Kakashi knelt on the floor, sweat running down his forehead, and huge gasps of breath coming from his mouth.
"Kakashi-Sensei!" Sakura ran towards him.
"Sakura...go help...Naruto...finish off those Nin..." he panted between words.
She nodded and jogged over towards Naruto.
"Leave this to me." Sakura sighed.
She walked slowly towards the two Nin,
"What do you want with Kasumi?" Sakura frowned
"She has the ability to use three elements; Earth, fire and water. This could come in very handy!" the woman exclaimed.
"Well you will just have to live without it!" Naruto stepped forward.
Sakura knew all to well that Naruto could get too carried away, so therefore she would have to try and finish this herself.
She ran forward, her fists poised for battle. Once she was less than a metre away from the two rain Nin, she struck the ground with her left fist. The ground shook before splitting and tearing, sending the two rain Nin backwards. Another cloud of dust was created. She waited patiently for it to clear and discovered that only one of the Nin lay underneath the pile of rubble. Where was the male? Her head spun around to see a kunai held by the man coming forth, just inches from her face.
She closed her eyes, waiting for the feel of her flesh ripping apart by the sharp blade, but it never came. When she opened her eyes, a tall figure was stood in front of her. His blonde hair was slightly tousled, and there was blood pooling out of his hand. Naruto!
He had caught the blade within his hands before it had managed to actually hit Sakura in the face.
"N-Naruto..." she barely whispered
"You should really be more careful, Sakura-chan."
"Your hand!" she looked over his shoulder to see his injury.
"It's fine, really." He smiled
With one quick movement, the rain Nin was to the floor, clutching his severed throat.
"That should do." Naruto shoulder slumped, and he threw the Kunai down to the floor.
His hand wasn't that badly hurt. It had just torn his skin when he had clamped his hand around the tip.
"Thank you, Naruto." She wrapped her arms around his waist
"Don't mention it, Sakura-Chan." He smiled to himself
After Sakura had healed his hand and helped Kakashi they set off again towards the Sand village.
Sorry, it's kind of short I know, but I got a serious case of writers block.
Please, please review and thank you for reading!
