Chapter 2

Chie went outside as she checked around town. She noticed someone in the tree as she looked carefully she noticed it was Sasuke. She watched him carefully and wondered what he was doing up there by himself. She then felt other chakra coming to the spot where Sasuke was and she knew exactly who it was she narrowed her eyes and hid behind a tree and knelt as she watched them.

"Heh seems we finally got you to be by yourself." Sakon said with a smirk and a small grin on his face. Sasuke looked over to him and the others as he narrowed his eyes. Chie finally figured out what Orochimaru wants she couldn't let him have what he wants but she'll have to stay where she is or lose her chance to find where Orochimaru is.

"What do you want?!" Sasuke asked in an annoyed tone. Sakon smirked at him.

"You'll just have to find out yourself." Tayuya replied. Sasuke got up from where he was and attacked them only to get beaten up. Chie clenched her fist, as she couldn't let this go on any farther. As they pinned down and tied up Sasuke as the curse seal design covered his body Chie narrowed her eyes even more she couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had enough of what they where doing to Sasuke and what Sasuke was doing. She got up from where she was and clenched her fist as she walked into the open space.

"I see your still after what Orochimaru wants. But I won't let you get your hands on it!!" Chie yelled as the others narrowed there eyes. They didn't know who it was but they will get rid of it as all of them looked towards the figure. Sasuke looked at the girl but didn't know who she was. He wondered what she was doing here.

"Who the heck are you?!" Kidoumaru said in an annoyed voice. Chie smirked a bit she was glad that they hadn't recognized her. Who would? Maybe some of the villagers in this town but other then that no one would. Plus the darkness helps quite a lot. She had gotten in a deep fighting stance.

"If you want to know who I am. I'm Konoha's shinobi that will take you down." Chie said as she rushed towards them with kunais in both hands. As Sakon, Jiroubo, and Tayuya rushed towards her as Kidoumaru guarded Sasuke for that moment. Sasuke watched he wondered who she was and will she be able to beat them when he couldn't he narrowed his eyes. Chie stood on a branch as she looked down at the out of breath shinobis. Chie's eyes looked over to Sasuke as she noticed his expression she closed her eyes and gave a small sigh. She knew exactly what he was thinking but she couldn't let that stop her. She opened her eyes and jump down only to get caught in Kidoumaru's web, which she fell to the ground hard with a thud as pain ran down her body. Kidoumaru picked her up and punched her in the stomach as she winced at the pain and thrown to a tree hard once again when a figure appeared from the shadows and some how scared them off. The last thing Chie was the figure looking over her and everything went black. The figure cut the webbing off her as he picked her up and laid her near a tree as he untied Sasuke.

"Well you should get back home before they come back." The figure said as he looked over to Chie as he picked her up and left to his place.

Somewhere In Konoha

Sakura was done dating with Naruto as she went towards the park as Sasuke had packed some of his things and stated to head out of the village. He was at the park when someone stopped him.

"Sasuke-kun don't go. If you go then I'm going to go with you." Sakura said as tears ran down her face Sasuke's back still facing her.

"I liked you for a long time and I would go and do anything to be with you." Sakura said as tears continued to run down her face. Sasuke looked towards her.

"You know you talk too much." Sasuke replied. Sakura looked at him.

"You remember when you said that to me. It was here." Sakura said looked over to her and nodded a bit as he looked away and started to walk off.

"Sasuke-kun!!!!" Sakura yelled out Sasuke disappeared and reappeared behind her.

"Sakura thank you." Sasuke said as he knocked her out.

"Sasuke-kun." Sakura said to herself as she fell to the ground. Sasuke picked her up and laid her on a bench and walked off to where Orochimaru's men were waiting. A few minuets passed by as they saw a figure coming towards them as they smirked.

"Heh I see you came." Jiroubo said with a smirk. Sasuke slowly walked ahead of them.

"Ya I came now let's get going." Sasuke replied. As they left Sakura sleeping on the bench as Chie was being cared for by the figure.

The Figures' House

"So you were alive all that time." The figure said as he looked down at Chie. As he bandaged her head as he put her in his bed.

"Been a while since I last seen you." The figure said. As he looked at her His eyes soften he had thought of her as his sister when he was younger. He would look up to her but he couldn't believe that she would be needing his help but other then that she was stronger then him. As he walked over to the couch and lay down as he settled himself on the couch and slept.

Morning

The sun rising from above the Hokage Monument as the rays shown down on Konoha as the ray hit Chie's face as she woke up and looked around and sat up she wondered how she got here. She gotten up and saw a figure on the couch still asleep she noticed whom it was as she gave a small smiled though hidden.

"Thanks Charlie. I owe you one." Chie said in a low voice as she left his place and walked out as she saw Izumo and Kotetsu walking along as she walked over to them.

"Can I help out?" Chie asked as they looked at her and shook their heads.

"No we're fine." Kotetsu replied Chie nodded and remembered she should get back home before Kaito wakes up as Kotetsu and Izumo left she followed behind they were going the same way anyways. Walking through the park Kotetsu saw Sakura on the bench Chie also sow her and wondered what she was doing there.

"Hey wake up your going to catch a cold if you sleep here." Kotesu said in a concern voice. Sakura was dreaming of what Sasuke last said to her. She woke up and sat up quickly.

"Sasuke-kun!!!" Sakura yelled out. The three shinobis looked at her with a confused look on there face. Sakura looked over to the three and noticed that Sasuke wasn't there.

"Sasuke-kun left..." Sakura said as tears ran down her face. Chie looked over to her and realized what happened. She didn't keep her promise to Godame-sama as she clenched her fist.

"We better go and tell this to Godame-sama." Izumo said.

"I'll go with you guys." Chie said. She knew she had to be home but this was important she couldn't just leave this alone. As Izumo and Kotetsu nodded their head Chie nodded as she looked over to Sakura.

"You better get home. Don't worry we'll do our best to get Sasuke back." Chie said as she nodded her head and left. As the three shinobis walked off as headed off towards Godame-samas' office. Tsunade was asleep on her desk as drool on some of the papers and letters on her face. Izumo, Kotetsu, and Chie walked into the room Izumo, and Kotetsu made faces.

"Godame-sama!!" Izumo yelled out as Tsunade woke up.

"You make us do the work and yet here you are asleep!!" Kotetsu yelled out. Chie shook her head a bit as Tsunade looked at them and cleaned her face.

"Anyways Godaime-sama we have bad news." Chie said as she broke the silence.

"What?!" Tsunade replied. Kotetsu cleared his throat.

"Well we just happened to met up with Sakura and..." Kotetsu stopped. Izumo and Chie looked at him so did Tsunade. Chie sighted she would have to finish it.

"Sasuke left to go to Orochimaru. I was supposed to have prevented it but I didn't. During last night I figured out..." Chie said as she stopped.

"You did your best Chie. I also know now what he wants." Tsunade replied. Chie looked at her and nodded her head. As Tsunade looked over to Kotetsu and Izumo as they put the paper on Tsunades' desk. As the pile of papers on her desk became an even higher stack which she really didn't want to have so much work. But this was a life as a Hokage.

"I want you guys to get me Shikamaru." Tsuande said. As Izumo and Kotetsu bowed and left Chie stayed behind and looked over to Tsunade.

"Let me go with the search party. It was my fault so I want to do something to make it up." Chie said. Tsunade put her hand on her chin.

"All right but you'll be taking orders from a Chunnin." Tsunade said. Chie looked at her.

"A Chunnin?" Chie said in a bit of a shock.

"Just say it's a test to see if you're really ready to be part of the Anbu." Tsuande said. Chie was shocked to hear this and yet happy.

"Okay I'll do my best to pass the test." Chie replied as Tsunade smiled and nodded her head.

At Shikamarus' House

Shikaku and Shikamaru were eating breakfast as Yoshino was yelling at them.

"What a pain. Hey dad why did you even bothered in marring her?" Shikamaru asked but Shikaku didn't say anything and continued to eat. Shikamaru wandered what he was going to be doing today maybe he would go with Chouji and go watch the clouds. He always thought they where lucky because they were free and did what they wanted to do and not have to be bossed around by anyone. There was a knock on the door as Yoshino went to the door and opened it. She went to where Shikamaru and Shikaku were with a smile.

"Shikamaru you have a mission." Yoshino said. Shikamaru raised a brow thought it was going to be a pain. He got up from where he was and went to Hokage's office.

In Tsunade's Office

Chie was sitting quietly in a chair next to the door as she waited for Shikamaru to come. When she thought of that she heard footsteps coming closer to the room as Chie looked over towards the door. As the footsteps died down in front of the door, the knob slowly turned and opened and waling in was none other then Shikamaru. He closed the door behind him as he looked over to his right to see Chie he wondered whom she was. He then looked over to Tsunade.

"I'm here and who is she?" Shikamaru asked Tsuande was about to answer him when Chie got up from the chair.

"I'm Chie. If you're wondering my rank I'm a Chunnin. Nice to meet you Shikamaru, I'll be part of your team in the mission." Chie said. Shikamaru wondered how she knew his name. But thinking about it was a pain for him.

"I see same here." Shikamaru replied. Tsunade looked at Chie maybe she had something in mind but lying like that wasn't a good idea. Shikamaru looked over to Tsunade.

"So what's the mission you wanted me to do?" Shikamaru asked. Thought he really didn't want to go but he'll be made to do it. Tsunade cleared her throat as she looked at Shikamaru.

"Your mission is to get Sasuke back." Tsunade said Shikamaru looked at her.

"What?!" Shikamaru replied a bit shocked. Chie looked over to Shikamaru when Tsunade was about to explain when Chie started explaining.

"Well you know about Orochimaru right?" Chie asked.

"Yeah I do what does he have to do with this mission?" Shikamaru asked.

"Well is so happens that his men came and escorted Sasuke out and to his place." Chie said Shikamaru sweat dropped. He looked over towards Tsunade.

"Okay I'll do this mission. So you're the leader right Chie?" Shikamaru asked as he looked over to her. She shook her head.

"No I'm not. If you remember me saying I'll be part of your team. It didn't mean I was the leader." Chie replied. Shikamaru expression was shocked as Tsunade shook her head a bit. Chie was taking this a bit too far Tsunade thought but maybe that was her character. She wasn't sure though, Shikamaru turned around and looked at Tsunade.

"Well I want you to get a team of four more. But I want one especially. I want you to get Naruto." Tsunade said. Shikamaru thought it was a pain. He wondered why it had to be Naruto. He only complains and usually gets himself into trouble.

"Okay will do." Shikamaru said.

"You have an hour to get a team and leave." Tsunade said. Shikamaru nodded as he went to the door and opened it and left Chie followed right behind him.

Somewhere In The Forest

As Orochimaru's men and Sasuke stopped as Sakon looked over to Sasuke. As he walked towards him as he took out a small bottle with purple pills in it.

"What's that?" Sasuke asked. Sakon smirked at the question.

"Well this will give you a huge increase in chakra. But in the process you'll have to die with my skills I can bring you back." Sakon replied, as Sakon placed the bottle in Sasuke's hand.

"I can trust you on that right?" Sasuke asked. Sakon nodded his head. Sasuke took the cap off the bottle and took out a pill and looked at it a bit before he swallowed it. After his swallowed it immense pain ran down his body. As Sakon grabbed his scroll and summoned a barrel as Jiroubou put Sasuke in the barrel as they summoned negative chakra and made a lid as it closed trapping Sasuke in. As Sakon bit his finger put some talismans on the barrel as they picked it up and left.

In Konoha

As the two went to Naruto's place Shikamaru knocked on the door as Naruto came out in his pajama and sleepy.

"What do you want?" Naruto asked a bit annoyed. As he looked at them as he saw the girl next to Shikamaru.

"Who's she your girlfriend or something?" Naruto said as he snicker a bit Chie raised a brow at him.

"Don't be stupid Naruto! Her name's Chie she'll be helping in the mission." Shikamaru said Naruto's eyes gleamed a bit.

"A mission what is it?" Naruto asked he was now interested in what the mission was, Shikamaru gave a sigh.

"Our mission is to..." Shikamaru said but hesitated a bit Naruto waited impatiently Chie looked over to them and gave a small sigh.

"It's to bring back Sasuke." Chie said Naruto's eyes widened even more. He couldn't believe on what he just heard.

"Wait right here I'll change and come right out!!!!" Naruto yelled out as he went back into his house as he changed out of pajama and came back to where the two were waiting.

"Let's go!!!!!" Naruto yelled out. Shikamaru and Chie looked at him.

"But first we need to get a team." Shikamaru said. Naruto gave a face and then nodded in spite of the idea. He really didn't want to go with others but he'll have to this time.

"Okay okay." Naruto said as they went off to get the next member. They walked through town as they reached Chouji's house.

"What!!?? Shikamaru your saying were going to have him on our team?!?!" Naruto said. Shikamaru gave a sigh.

"Don't judge him too quickly Naruto." Shikamaru said as grabbed a bag of potato chips.

"Help me eat this bag." Shikamaru said. Naruto gave a small face as he gave a sigh. As Shikamaru opened the bag as the two ate. Chie watched the two as Naruto looked at her his mouth was full of chips.

"Why aren't you helping?" Naruto asked as chips fell from his mouth.

"I'm on a diet." Chie replied Naruto shrugged his shoulders as the two continued to eat till they were down to the last chip. As the door opened as Chouji came out of his house.

"I'll have the last chip." Chouji said as he grabbed for the last chip as he did so another figure tired to get it but Chouji grabbed it and ate it before it could. As it wined Kiba came over and looked at Akamaru. Chie leaned agenst the wall as she crossed her arms as she looked at them.

"Tsunade I don't know why you're going to send these kids out to fight. They maybe strong but their're really not ready for what lay ahead." Chie thought to herself as she closed her eyes as they were fighting over nothing when Akamaru walked over to Chie he barked Chie opened her eyes and knelt as she petted him. Her eyes softened.

"I really shouldn't judge them. Well I guess I'll have to trust them." Chie said to herself. She stood up.

"Okay now stop your arguing, we need one more member and we just can't stand here." Chie said. As the others looked at her most of them wondered who she was. She gave a small sigh.

"I'll give you a short introduction and then we leave we really don't have time to waste. Names Chie I'm a Chunnin. I'll be joining the team to help bring back Sasuke. This should sum it up." Chie said. The others looked at each other then her.

"Right well let's get going." Kiba said as they went towards the gates. Lee and Neji were walking a long slowly. Lee was injured badly but he's slowly getting better. As Shikamaru, Naruto, Chouji, Kiba, Akamaru, and Chie reached to where Lee and Neji were.

"What's going on?" Neji asked. Shikamaru looked over to him.

"We're going to get Sasuke back." Shikamaru said.

"I see I'll join." Neji said as he looked over to Lee.

"Do what you can. But don't push yourself to much." Neji said as they left towards the gate. As they huddled together as Shikamaru explained the plan.

"Okay here is how the order is going to go. Kiba and Akamaru first since they could smell out traps and be able to follow the trail and keep us informed. Next is me I'll be able to think up a way to discharge the trap without anyone getting hurt next is Naruto then Chouji then Chie and finally Neji. You guys are support and back up." Shikamaru said. The group understood the position and what they had to do.

"Right let's get going." Naruto said as the others nodded their head as Lee watched them. When Sakura ran towards them with tears in her eyes.

"Naruto Please bring Sasuke-kun back...I couldn't stop him and the only person that can bring him back is you Naruto." Sakura said tears still rolling down her face.

"Don't worry I promise to bring him back." Naruto said with a smile as he gave her the thumb up. She smiled and nodded her head as the team left leaving Sakura and Lee behind.

"Don't worry Sakura-san he gave a nice guy pose he's going to be able to bring him back." Lee said as Sakura looked over to him.

"Thank you Lee-san." Sakura said as she whipped the tears off her face. As the team went deep inside the forest Kiba and Akamaru had gotten the sent of Sasuke and hot on the trail as they jumped from tree branch to tree branch. Chie looked to each one of them as the thought back a bit.

"Tsunade-sama I trust you have faith in them but still... You might be wrong in sending this group." Chie thought to herself.

"Chie you alright?" Neji asked as he looked over to her.

"I'm fine. Just want to get this mission done and have Sasuke back." Chie replied.

"That is if we can bring him back." Chie thought to herself as they continued forward.

TO Be Continued.

What have they gotten there self's in? What will be waiting for them? Victory or defeat? Will the team really know Chie's really a Jounin? Will they be able to bring back Sasuke? Stay in tune for next time.
