Finally, here is chapter 3 of my first NaruSaku fic! Sorry, it took so long, I was on vacation for a bit and didn't have internet, then had a rough time getting back into writing. Hope this chapter is good! PLEASE REVIEW!
Two weeks have gone by since Sakura and Naruto rescued the two bells from Kakashi Hatake's side, and now finally they have an A-rank to an S-rank mission. This morning the three ninja left of Squad 7 go to discover the details of their mission.
"An A-rank mission? That's awesome, Grandma Tsunade!" Naruto exclaimed with joy, Sakura and Kakashi standing at the childish ninja's sides with worried looks on their faces.
"You may not be thanking me for long, Naruto. This isn't just an A-rank mission, it's very possible that the mission will escalate into an S-rank mission."
"Mi Lady, is this mission truly that dangerous?" Sakura asked, concerned a bit.
"Yes, Sakura, it is. Two convicts have escaped from prison, and they're quite strong. Seijirou Takeda and Ren Fukushima. The strangest thing is, these two convicts have nothing in common and yet they escaped together."
"That is strange," Kakashi agreed. "Think one of them is using the other as a decoy?"
"It's likely. Be careful you three, the detailed information on the convicts are in the mission statement." Tsunade spoke as the three left, Naruto wearing a great big smile on his face. The three went to their homes and packed the necessities for the mission, and met back at the main gate of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
Passing by the Ichiraku Ramen shop, Naruto thought to himself, Should I? He chuckled entering the shop and ordering a bowl of Pork-kimchi to go. Racing to the meeting spot, Naruto saw Sakura and Kakashi-sensei waiting for the genin.
"Naruto! You stopped to get ramen when there are two dangerous convicts on the loose?" Sakura shouted as Naruto slurped up the last of his ramen.
"Sorry, I hadn't eaten yet." Naruto spoke, throwing the plastic ramen container in the nearest garbage can.
"Let's just go, Naruto."
"Hai, hai, Sakura-chan." Within seconds, the three ninja left the village in search of the two rogue ninja. About ten minutes into the team's dash towards the prison, Naruto spoke once again. "Nee, exactly who are these two guys?" Sakura and Kakashi nearly lost their footing.
"You didn't even look at the statement!" Sakura yelled, regaining composure after Naruto's shocking question. Naruto looked back at her with a smile and chuckle, he could tell she wanted to punch him really hard. Kakashi on the other hand, was just following along showing a covered face of worry.
"Seijirou Takeda, primarily a genjutsu specialist, but he is skilled in other areas of ninjutsu. He was thrown in jail two years ago, and wasn't allowed out of his cell except for one hour each day. In the time he was out of his cell, Seijirou was shackled and blindfolded—that's how much his genjutsu was feared." Kakashi explained.
"Wow, sound's scary. But, why are we the only ninja that's being deployed to capture them, Sensei?" Naruto asked.
"We aren't the only ones being deployed, but we are the first."
"Naruto, this mission requires many skilled ninja who are either on or close to chunin level, and of course jonin as well." Sakura said. "Everyone else that we know is on their own missions, our job is to track these two guys until we have the strength to actually take them down."
"Two guys, oh, who's the other guy?"
"Ren Fukushima."
"This man is dangerous as well, but he specializes in earth-style ninjutsu, and some taijutsu." Kakashi replied, Naruto stayed quiet waiting for more information but his sensei didn't say anymore.
"So, a genjutsu user and an earth-style user, huh. Sounds, fun."
"Naruto, you really are an idiot."Sakura said to her teammate wearing a smile to add.
I know this chapter wasn't too long, but I'm trying to get back into writing this fic again. Next chapter should be longer—and more interesting. Thanks for reading and keeping up with this fic!
