CHAPTER 2

As Mange headed to Tsunades office he pondered over the difficulty the mission may be. He opened the door to the hokages building and walked inside. As he walked to the hokages of­fice he saw two figures running really fast and Mange was trampled by one of them. "Ugh" Mange said as he fell onto the ground. "Naruto-kun you must be more careful" Mange sat up to see the face of the orange jump suited face of Naruto Uzumaki. "Oh my god I'm so sorry Mange. I wasn't looking at where i was going." Hinata Hyuuga helped Mange to his feet, and Mange dusted off his clothes. "It's ok Naruto. I was pondering over my mission and wasn't looking in front of me." Hinata looked at Mange then at Naruto. "Mange-san are you ok, Na­ruto-kun you must be more careful!!" Naruto heaved a deep sigh then said "ok Hinata-chan. I promise to be more careful from now on." Naruto leaned over and kissed Hinata right on the lips. Hinata blushed scarlet and almost fainted but Naruto caught her just in time. "Naruto-kun, i love you so much" Hinata said.

Mange interrupted saying "So, where are you two heading off to?" Mange asked "Oh me and Hinata-chan are heading off to her place for dinner with her family." "That's cool Naruto, well i better head to Tsunades office, and she's probably getting furious with me. Cya two lovebirds later" Mange said as they took off running and he waved them off. About 5 minutes after his encounter Mange reached the office of lady Tsunade. He knocked on the door 3 times and heard a reply of "Come in". He opened the door and walked in. Inside the office he saw mountains of paperwork, pictures of the former hokages of Konoha and at the desk was lady Tsunade the current and 5th hokage, wearing her usual clothes and enjoying her usual sake. "You needed to see me lady Tsunade?" Mange asked "Yes please come in Mange." Tsunade said. Mange approached her desk and Tsunade with her hands folded looked Mange in the eyes. "So, i assumed you received my letter Mange?" Mange pulled out the letter and handed it to her. "Good. So, i assume you know what your mission is correct?" "Yes ma'am" Mange replied. Tsunade with her gaze locked onto Manges eyes said "I've called you here to give you the details on your mission." "And they are?" Mange replied. Tsunade took a sip of sake and continued "You will be going alone on this mission because i have seen your training re­sults from Anko and you are strong enough to handle a mission like this, you must protect the prince and princess from anything that may threaten their lives even if u must sacrifice your own life. It will take you at least a day to get to the Land of waves, but if your ready you may leave now if you wish". Mange headed out the door. About 20 minutes later as he headed to the gates of Konoha he heard a familiar voice "Big brother you forgot something!!" he turned around to see Rain and Dark heading towards him, Rain carrying a huge rucksack. "You for­got your things big brother!!" she said as she handed Mange the rucksack and he put it on his back. "Looks like your mind is slowly slipping away Mange" Dark said laughing really hard. Mange gave Dark a very evil look that was interrupted by his sister "You better head out big brother or Tsunade will think your skipping out on your mission." Mange nodded and headed out of Konoha. "Do you think hell be alright?" Rain asked. Dark put his hand on her shoulder "I'm sure he'll do just fine" replied Dark
