The so called Jiji put me on a mission with Neji (WHAT THE FUCK) as the leader. It's a five ninja rescue mission to save someone named Sasuke Uchiha from Orochimaru. Though, from what I heard, it sounds more like 'force Sasuke Uchiha to depart from someone who is probably his beloved sensei'. Of course, I didn't say that, since Naruto and the others seemed either pissed off about him betraying everyone, or hurt by his lack of comradeship. Well, whoever he was, he'd get a beating from Sakura, because she is a hella pissed right now from everything being kept from her.
Two hours later, I'm running so fast I seem to be flying, and trying desperately not to look down because I just knew I'd be sick. You see, ninjas are too cool to stick to roads. No—they jumped from tree to tree like Jane and Tarzan. In my mind, I had a mental image of Neji dressed as Tarzan with Lee in his arms, hanging from a vine like a monkey. Ladida~! Jane and Tarzan and their merry band of ninja troupers!
"S-sakura-chan looks mad," Naruto asked nervously. Forcing the twitching of my eyebrows to stop, I glared at my best friend—who I'm not really sure is my best friend, because he explained that sometimes, when he was busy with missions, he sent clones to hang out with me—and huffed.
"Well of course she does," Neji interjected before I had a chance to open my mouth. Damn you genius Hyuuga who got better grades than me! Damn you!
"Neji," I warned. The hoity-toity Hyuuga ignored me and continued with his speech.
"She just found out that she had potential as a ninja, or more specifically, a medic a month ago. She is now being sent on an A mission. Of course, you can't forget the fact that you…concealed the fact that most of her friends were in this secret society of sorts and—"
A sickening sound followed and Neji was forced to spin around on the branch like a ballerina to keep his balance. Once he regained, it, he focused his pearly white eyes on me. I gulped.
"Neji-kun got a booboo?" Tenten asked, appearing out of nowhere and caressing her boyfriend's punched cheek. What expression appeared next on Neji's face, I'd have liked to eradicate from my memory. Unfortunately, the sporadic twitching of Neji's eyebrows and coupled with the mushy look in eyes stuck in my memory. I HATE YOU TENTEN!
"Er…let's get a move on, shall we?" Shikamaru asked tentatively, cowering under a certain genius's glare. Once again—DAMN YOU HYUUGA!
In Camp Ninja (for that was what it had been affectionately dubbed), Hinata sneezed.
We remained silent for the rest of the trip and there were no further incidents—I wish. All that I will reveal of the bloody and intestine splattered trip is that Lee shot hearts at me, Naruto complained about no ramen, and Tenten and Neji played tonsil hockey when they thought we weren't looking. After around thirty minutes, I began straining my eyes to see the large cave entrance we had been briefed about. Oh please, I begged. Even if this Sasuke's a total gag, just please let me escape from this torture!
Unfortunately (how many times had I been saying that?), life had other plans for me. As they put it—out of the skillet and into the fire.
