I Don't Own Naruto or any of the Characters

xXx

Team 8 had finally gotten themselves a mission, after weeks of waiting around the village a tracking mission had finally come in. The mission involved them being away for a maximum of a month. The guy they were to track had last been spotted in a little town in the middle of Tea Country

Their mission was to find Lord Kanagawa, and bring him to leaf village. For some reason the Lord had decided to kill his daughter. He was to be brought back to Konoha as soon as possible for questioning, and who better to find him than the hidden leaf's best tracking team?

Team 8 set off early one morning it had been a month and a half since the pain attack and each member of the team was glad to finally have something other to do than help rebuild Konoha or train.

Hinata was the first to arrive at the gate, which came as a surprise to her as normally Shino was for to arrive getting here an hour early. She decided to recheck that she had everything in her back pack. Opening up the pack she took a quick glance inside and saw her sleeping bag, a few pair of underwear, easy to make food, a spare weapons bag and toiletries, everything she would need for a month. Just as she was repacking her bag Kiba and Akamaru turned up.

"Oi, Hinata! Where's Shino?" Kiba yelled as he was still a few feet away from her.

"No idea, he wasn't here when I arrived." Hinata replied whilst putting her bag back on.

"Hmmm I wonder what's up he's never late. Oh well" Kiba announced whilst throwing his bag down on the ground, he then threw himself on the ground in the same manner using the bag as a pillow.

"Your right Kiba, I am always on time." Shino commented. "Come on we don't have time to take naps, we need to get moving." Shino walked straight over Kiba and he headed straight out the gates.

"Shino?...Shino?" Hinata jogged to catch up with the insect specialist, she yelled his name as she jogged but there was no reply. "SHINO!" Hinata yelled growing tired of him ignoring her.

"Hinata there is no time to talk we must find Lord Kanagawa immediately." With that he picked up his speed a little more.

"NO! Shino explain why you were late. And why you are in such a hurry."

"Lady Tsunade told me that…. Lord Kanagawa didn't murder his daughter, he was framed." Shino explained. "There is still a bounty on his head dead or alive" Kiba had finally caught up with them and was looking confused as to what Shino and Hinata were talking about.

"Shino why didn't you tell us? Were a team, your supposed to share information like this with us" Hinata confronted. "Now that we have this vital piece of information lets begin to form a plan for tracking."

"Hinata I would really like it if we could get to the next town before we discuss any planning" with that he pivoted on his foot and start to walk away from his two confused team mates.

The team stopped their travel when they arrived at Otafuku Gai, Shino lead the way through the village until they arrived at a mansion. The mansion's size was enough to rival the Hokage tower.

"Who's mansion is this?" Kiba asked

"Lord Kanagawa's" Shino sharply replied before he entered the mansion with out so much as knocking or checking for guards.

"What are we doing here?" Hinata timidly asked

"Gathering evidence, we are going to help solve who did this so that the bounty will be taken off Lord Kanagawa." Shino turned to face them once they had fully made their way inside of the house. "Hinata, I want you to use you byakugan to look for anything that might help us such as hair, cloth anything that shouldn't be here, Kiba I want you and Akamaru to use you noses to look for any scents that don't belong."

"What about you?" Kiba questioned.

"I'm going to use my bugs to scan through the house and garden and help look for any foreign materials." With that the team spread off through the house to help prove Lord Kanagawa's innocence.

I didn't this chapter was as good as the last ones but I realised that in the Manga Naruto hasn't returned yet so I wanted to delay a little bit.. But then I may be dragging this out for a while so I'm going finish this mission within the next chapter or 2 and continue will bring Naruto back and have things pick back up then. Don't forget to review and tell me what you think :D any ideas will be appreciated XD
