DISCLAIMER: I DONT OWN NARUTO CHARACTERS


The snake bride

Chapter 4

Naruto sat at his desk, his head leaning against his hand as he went through torture plans in his head. It was only just this morning that everyone in Konoha had discovered that Sakura was missing from her apartment; what had annoyed Naruto the most was that it was no one knew who had taken her or where.

He can still remember when he was told about this;

FLASHBACK

He had woken up as normal with his wife Hinata still asleep beside him. Like always, before he made his way to the Hokage office, he would spend his mornings watching his wife as she slept peacefully, thinking about how lucky he was to have her. After 10 minutes of watching her, Naruto finally got out of bed and started to get dressed into his Jonin uniform with his Hokage robes over them(AN: like with the Yondaime Hokage).

His orange and black Hokage robes fluttered behind him as he walked through the corridors of the Hokage mansion saying good morning to all the ninjas that passed him getting ready for their missions. He was in an overall good mood... that was until he reached his office and saw Shikamaru, Kiba, Neji and Sai standing by his desk with forlorn expressions on their faces. He immediately knew that something was wrong.

"Not that I don't appreciate a good morning from my friends, but what are you doing in my office this early?" Naruto asked as they all just stared at him, no one moving to tell him anything until finally Sai took the prerogative to tell him

"I'm sorry Dickless" he started off, using the nickname he had given Naruto when they first became team seven, "But this isn't a social call. It's about Ugly.

Time seemed to stop at that moment for Naruto. He ignored the names that Sai had called him and Sakura and focused on the one thought that went through his head: what's happened to Sakura?

"What do you mean Sai?" he asked, panic sounded in his voice as well as the slight hint of anger. "What has happened to Sakura-Chan?!?" He exclaimed.

Neji was the one that brought the news to Naruto, considering that everyone else went quiet a few moments after Naruto shouted for an explanation.

"Hokage-sama, when we went to pick up Sakura for our mission from her apartment, she wasn't there and when we went in to look for her, there was no evidence of her leaving that morning or anything"

Naruto was going through many emotions until finally he screamed at the top of his lungs in anger.

END FLASHBACK

Since then, he had been hidden away in his office planning revenge on who ever did this. After screaming his head off, he ordered tracker Nins and Kiba and Akamaru to return to her apartment to see if there was any chakra trails or scents that could be picked up; He would make sure none of the Konoha ninjas slept till she was found and safe in Konoha. All this worry was starting to give him a headache.

Just as he was about to go into a 'Sasuke- brooding face' mode, a knock on the door indicated that either a mission assigned earlier had returned or that something from Sakura's apartment had been found. He composed himself in the manner to which Tsunade had taught him to be before he gave an acknowledgement to the door.

"Enter"

He looked towards the door to see Konohamaru at the door, looking a little excited than form when he had heard (AN. Eavesdropped) on the info of Sakura missing. He practically ran up to his desk, and then started to jump up and down like a raving lunatic; and all this noise was only making Naruto's headache worse until he finally snapped.

"KONOHAMARU! BOTH STOP JUMPING AND TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT OR I WILL KICK YOU OUT OF THIS OFFICE!"

Konohamaru immediately calmed down, not wanting to further annoy the Kyuubi-holder any more than necessary. He stood up straight and then looked at the Hokage

"Sorry about that but Neji-sama sent me, he said that they had found an unknown chakra and was hoping that you would come and see if you recognise it at all."

Before Konohamaru was able to go into further detail, Naruto was out of his chair, away from his desk and making his way to his teammate's home.

~~~xXxXxXx~~~

Naruto rushed over to Sakura's door as it came into sight.

He could tell that it was open easily because there were no marks to indicate someone broke in. Just as he was stepping into the living room, he immediately felt Sakura's warm, familiar chakra and at least three separate chakras in the room. It was strange, 'I'm sure I felt them somewhere before, but where did I ...'

He wasn't given much more time to think about it as he was snapped from his reverie by Shikamaru coming out from Sakura's bedroom, noticing the look on his face. He walked up to the side wall of her living room and leaned against it whilst getting a cigarette and a lighter, Asuma's gift to him before passing on.

"You felt it to when you entered." He stated while lighting the cigarette in his mouth and letting out a puff. "Can you recognise it from anywhere Hokage- Sama?"

Naruto took this time to actually use his head and think (AN. *gasps*) he went into his thinking pose where his left hand moved to chin and his arm held by his right closing his eyes and thinking back, to his time as a fifteen year old boy. 'Where have I felt this chakra before?' flashback started flashing before his minds eye... 'Red hair'... 'Sharp, shark-like teeth'... 'Screechy voice'... 'Grey hair'... all these images kept flashing through his head as he continued to think back on the chakra he was feeling surrounding the area.

His eyes snapped open as he finally realised where he had felt those chakras before. His face contorted from shock to immediate anger as well as the Kyuubi's chakra start to leak out and start to surround him has one name started to enter his head

'Red haired woman... Grey haired, shark teeth man... SASUKE UCHIHA!'

His wild eyes started to look all over the room, as if watching the whole event happens in front of him, as if he was there, unable to help her. Naruto, coming out from his vision, turns to Shikamaru and all the other ninjas that had appeared from other rooms of her house. He recomposed himself before giving orders.

"Shikamaru" Said ninja stood to attention, hearing the anger within the Hokage's voice "I want you to assemble all the rookie nine ninja and if there on a mission, I want them back here immediately. Then send them all to my office."

With that being said, Naruto turned to leave before questions could be asked; just one thought was being repeated through his head

'If that bastard has hurt her, I will fucking kill him!'

~~~xXxXxXx~~~

Doing as told, Shikamaru spent most of his time rounding up the entire rookie nine, who thankfully was all in Konoha and not on any missions. When that was finally done, he started moving towards the Hokage tower with one word repeating in his head: 'troublesome'

When the teams entered the room, they could practically feel the bloodlust radiating from Naruto. They cautiously walked towards the desk, trying not to disturb Naruto and receive the full rampage... that was until Chouji sneezed randomly and Naruto's head shot up at the noise with a menacing glare on his face. Everyone tensed as he stepped from behind his desk and started walking towards them only to stop in front of everyone. The silence following was killing them all until the loudmouthed Lee decided to break it

"Um... Hokage-sama is there a reason why you called us here?"

Naruto looked towards Lee then towards the rest of the group, thinking of how to phrase his next sentence;

"Well, half of you are coming with me while the rest are staying here in Konoha to protect it whilst I am gone."

"Um why? And why isn't Sakura here to hear this?" asked Ino as she felt Sai's arm hook around her waist, as if waiting to hug her after Naruto finished. In fact, Neji did just about the same with Ten-Ten, and he with Hinata.

"Since most of you don't know, I was told this morning that Sakura Haruno, leading medic specialist was kidnapped approximately 2 days ago, and just this morning we have confirmation of who had taken her. However, the reason behind the situation is still unknown and so the mission is to return her to this village before something bad happens."

As all the information was absorbed into there heads, all three kunoichi turned to the spouses and hugged them tightly, almost feeling the tears coming to their eyes at the thought of their friend gone, whilst the other shinobi lowered their heads.

"But who would actually take her?" asked Shino

Naruto stiffened as he looked at all his friends. Then finally he revealed what he had been dreading to say.

"We are searching for the new Otokage of Otogakure: Sasuke Uchiha"
