The Mission That Went Wrong

They departed shortly afterwards, towards what they though would be a simple mission........His body felt numb. Although it was not because of the cold, far from that. Actually, Naruto wanted to feel numb, he wished the numb would take the pain away.

The Mission That Went Wrong

Chapter 2: The Rock-nins

They continued on through the forest, jumping from branch to branch. They soon reached a small lake that seemed to glow in the bright sun of a typical day in Konoha. Konoha was famous for its hot and humid summers. But as winter was coming, the weather seemed to cool down a little. Nonetheless, it was still warm. There had never been a drop of snow in Konoha before, and probably never will be.

Naruto was eager to see colder weather for a change.

"It will take 4 days to reach the border of the Grass country. Then I'll take us one day to cross the Grass country to the Rock border. The convoy will be waiting for us in 5 days near Lake Kato. We better get there in time or Tsunade-sama won't be happy," said Shikamaru with a pained expression on his face, as if thinking about what Tsunade would do if they did anything to offend the Rock-nins.

"Yah, Yah, Let's go." responded Naruto impatiently. Shikamaru always organized things unerringly.

They traveled during the whole day only stopping at noon for a lunch break. Once the sun was down, and the moon hung in the sky, they put up their campsite and ate. The night was cool and it sent shivers down Naruto's spine.

End of Flashback

Like on that night, Naruto felt cold. However, it was different. Naruto couldn't get himself to believe what was happening. Things were moving so fast, out of his control. His friends were in danger or in the worst case scenario dead. "They're not dead" Naruto kept telling himself. He had to keep his faith up, or his will would crumble. The pain was still there. Naruto was afraid. But Naruto was never afraid, was he?

He started running towards the destination that would conclude all of this. "I have to save them" Naruto said to himself, determination back into his eyes. His chest seemed to loosen. Naruto still had hope.

Okay, to whoever is even interested in this story... I will probably discontinue it.

I've just lost my inspiration for it. ( I just feel like writing about other things.

That's why the chapter is so short, it's what was supose to be the beginning of the second chapter. . I didn't want it to go to waste so i decide to post it, but I'm probably not going to continue this story. Sorry. (
