Well Needed Vacation

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto

Chapter Two: The real purpose

Most of the genin in the room had their eyes wide in amazement. The Hokage…. was giving them all a vacation. Even Neji and Sasuke were a little surprised but they didn't really show it. Their eyes just widened barely. And the Jonin in the room were a little surprised to.

"Really Lord Hokage, a vacation? What's the occasion?" Kurenai asked, not at all sure about this 'vacation.'

"You don't need an occasion to give some of the young ninja in the village a vacation. I believe they deserve it." Tsunadae declared.

"Woohoooo! A vacation! Isn't that great Akamaru?" Akamaru barked in agreement in Kiba's hood. Hinata giggled and petted on top Akamaru's head.

"Who exactly is going on this little trip?" Asuma asked. Tsunadae glanced over to him.

"Teams seven, eight, ten, and team Guy are all going."

"So that mean's that us sensei's are also going?" Guy asked.

"Why of course you all are. I don't trust these genin THAT much to be left alone on a vacation." Tsunadae said jokingly.

"Is this vacation an option?" Neji asked.

"No it isn't. In fact I'm making it officially your mission to go on this vacation!" Tsunadae decided.

"AW come on Neji!" Tenten exclaimed, elbowing him in the arm. "I'm sure that you want a break as much as the rest of us!"

"When do we leave?" Kakashi asked.

"You leave at sunrise tomorrow. I will be there to see you all off at the gates. And don't be late… Kakashi that means you too. If you're a minute late then they're leaving without you."

"Understood."

"How long are we gonna be gone for?!" Naruto asked hoping for an extremely long vacation.

"Two months at the least. I will be sending a ninja over a day before you actually have to leave."

"TWO MONTHS!!!!" Some of the genin shouted. A vacation (if you were ever lucky enough to get one) was at least a week long. So the idea of at least a two month vacation, outside Konoha for no reason was really quite unbelievable.

"Well what are you all still waiting around for?! Get home and start packing!" Tsunadae shooed them out of her office. "Except the Jonin, you four wait behind! I need go over some things about the vacation that are important to know. "

The eleven genin and one chunin who muttered "troublesome" all left the room with either a very eager look, like Naruto or very careless look on their face, like Neji.

When all the young shinobi left the room Shizune went out into the hall and closed the door behind her.

"Where is she going?" Kurenai wondered.

"To make sure none of those kids hear this."
"Is it really that important? I mean if it's about a vacation…?" Asuma asked.

"Yes. I need to tell you all the real reason was we had this little 'vacation'".

"I knew there was a different reason." Kurenai muttered.

"You were right. You see I didn't tell any of your students the real reason because I didn't want to worry them. If you all feel it's necessary to tell them then be my guest. But the real reason is because…" She wondered how to tell them.

"What is it Lord Hokage?" Kakashi asked.

"I heard from a very reliable source that someone from sound village, maybe even Orochimaru, is after some of your students. It could be one of them or all of them. My source wasn't able to get that much information. All I know was that they targeted each of your squads. So just to be safe I'm taking all of them out of the village and into a different and isolated location. So I need you to keep an eye after all of your students, very carefully. I hear the enemy ninja are quite skilled and very stealth. Just so I know from you four what talents do each of you're students possess?" Tsunadae finished. "Kakashi you first."

"On my squad I have Naruto Uzumaki, who has the Nine Tailed Fox inside of him. I also have Sasuke Uchiha, who is the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan, with the Sharingan. And last I have Sakura Haruno, who has perfect control over her chakra, in any form, and the smartest kunoichi I've ever seen."

"All right, next Kurenai."

"In my team I have Hinata Hyuga, an heiress from the main branch of the Hyuga clan. I also have Kiba Inuzuka, with his nin-dog Akamaru. He and Akamaru can heighten their senses through chakra, and can communicate to each other while tracking and surviving in the wilderness making them a powerful duo. And I have Shino Aburamae, from the Aburamae clan, who has a lot of dangerous and powerful insects at this disposal." Kurenai finished.

"O.k. now Asuma, your team?"

"I have on my team, Shikamaru Nara who just graduated to Chunin, and has an I.Q. of over two hundred. I also have Choji Akimichi, from the Akimichi clan who can extend his body parts to help him do human boulder jutsu, which is very destructible against opponents. And then I have Ino, who is very advanced at mind altering jutsu, and graduated as top kunoichi in her class." Asuma finished.

"Very good, and last Guy." Tsunadae looked over to the 'Prideful Green Beast.'

"AH at last I can tell you about my awesome team!" Giving his nice guy pose. "Well first and foremost I have young Rock Lee, who has a complete mastery over his awesome Taijutsu, and can also open five of the eight inner gates!" His teeth gave off that shine. "Then of course there is young Neji Hyuga who is from the Hyuga clan. And even though he is from the side branch he is incredibly powerful with his Byakugan and Gentle Fist Taijutsu! And last but of course not least there's young Tenten who is a master of weapons! She never misses her mark!" Guy gave thumbs up, meaning he was finished.

"All right then." Tsunadae started. "It seems each of your students has a great talent which could mean any of them are what these sound Ninja are looking for. So don't pay any less attention to any of them. You don't know which one of them they're after so be on your guard. When you get to the houses, east to the land of waterfall, you should b safe. But keep your eyes sharp for anything. From what I've heard they have a time limit. You should get to this land by the fourth day of travel. Now they shouldn't even know you're going there, so you should all be decently safe. By the time you get there the enemy ninja should have already been here and hopefully captured. If not they wouldn't have enough time to get to you on the paths. But then again I'm not 100 sure. So remember to stay on guard at all times! Here is the coordinates to the land, and the houses you are all traveling too." She handed each of them one of the green scrolls. "And here are the paths you must all take in order to travel safely. There are only two so you should split it up. Two teams go one way, and two teams go the other way. Team Kakashi and Team Guy will take this route." She handed Guy and Kakashi each a blue scroll. "Team Asuma and Team Kurenai will take this route." She handed each of them a red scroll. "You should all meet up on the fourth day at these four houses. And remember I will send a ninja to you all to tell you when the time is safe for all of you to return. I wish you and each of you're students luck and safety on this mission. And remember if you wish to tell them the truth about this mission then that is your choice." Tsunadae finished.

"It might be better for them if they didn't know." Kakashi suggested.

"Yes. If they knew the real purpose they would get incredibly nervous and stressed." Kurenai agreed.

"And then the teamwork might be reduced to every man for themselves." Asuma decided.

"So then it's settled!" Guy declared. "We don't tell any of them the real purpose!"

"Well at the very least we should warn them that there may be some stray ninja along the way. So they can at least be a little on guard. And not be completely worried that the ninja are after THEM. Just maybe some ninja running around." Kurenai suggested.

"That's a good idea. I agree." Asuma stated.

"Me two." Kakashi agreed.

"I also agree!" Guy said giving a nice little thumbs up.

"O.K. now that that's said and done. I believe you have much packing to do. Go on and good luck."

The four Jonins bowed there heads and left in their known for poof.

Shizune entered when she heard their departure.

"Do you think they'll be alright Tsunadae?" Shizune asked.

"I think they'll be just fine." Tsunadae said going back to some intense paperwork. And of course having a little Sake on the side. Tonton oinked in agreement.

"I hope they will." Shizune said looking down at Tonton in her arms.

Little did either of them know of the sound ninja in the Hokage's window, listening in on every word, and hiding his chakra ever so masterfully even the Hokage couldn't detect him. He smirked as he pushed his glasses up past his nose.

There's chapter 2! And Tsunadae was supposed to have just arrived and not know that much about the genin and chunin. And I hope I didn't make Guy too….

Guy. . And if Tsunadae seemed a little ooc sry! Just imagine she was drinkin sake!
