"Do you have everything?"

"Yeah, I'm all packed."

"Extra set of clothes?"

"Yup."

"Food?"

"Yes."

"Weapons?"

"Yes."

"Do you have-"

"Dammit, Sasuke, I have everything!"

It was currently five in the morning and both Naruto and Sasuke were standing outside of Konoha's gates. They were waiting patiently for Tsunade and Jiraiya to show up so they could head off for their mission. It seems that a group of rouge shinobi stole an important scroll from the Tea Country and are hiding out somewhere in the Land of the Bird. The mission was simple. All Sasuke and Naruto had to do was find the shinobi and take the scroll back. The only hard part of the mission was resisting the temptation to kill each other.

"Well I was just making sure an idiot like you could pack." Sasuke spoke with a smirk on his face, "You have already proven that you can't see properly."

Naruto fumed. "I walked into a door once. Once, Sasuke. And I'm not an idiot! I can pack my own bag for a simple mission, bastard."

"Well it seems you two are getting along just fine." Tsunade's sarcastic voice spoke.

Jiraiya's voice soon followed. "Well at least they haven't killed each other yet."

Both teenagers turned away from their little feud to see Tsunade and Jiraiya walking toward them, smiles in place. Naruto immediately forgot about Sasuke's insult and energetically greeted the two older shinobi as Sasuke opted to greet them with the slight nod of his head. After the good mornings were finished, Tsunade spoke.

"So I take it you two are ready." When they both nodded she continued. "This mission shouldn't take that long. I'm guessing about a week to get there, two or three days to retrieve the scroll, and another week to get back. I want daily updates sent by Naruto's toads and I want each of you to stay out of as much trouble as possible. And please, for the life of me, don't kill each other on this mission. You two are both teenagers and advanced shinobi so act like it."

Sasuke snorted and Naruto smiled. "Don't worry, if Sasuke gets out of control I'll set him in his place."

Tsuande grimaced and looked back and forth between the two. "That wasn't who I was worried about." She murmured to herself. Straightening up before Naruto could question her, Tsuande looked them both in the eye, "If you two are ready to go, you may do so."

Immediately Sasuke and Naruto bowed to the Hokage, turned around, and walked into the forest. Sasuke on the left and Naruto on the right. Before they were out of sight however, Naruto stuck her left foot out a little more then necessary and ended up tripping Sasuke who fell flat on his face. She immediately clutched her stomach and started laughing.

"Jeez! You were making fun of me for not being able to see but it seems to me you can't even walk! What kind of ninja are you?" Naruto was currently laughing too hard to see Sasuke get up from the ground. Before she even had a chance to open her eyes, Sasuke's fist made contact with her stomach and she flew to the ground now clutching her stomach for an entirely different reason.

Back at the front gate, two adults shook their heads and wondered if they made the right decision.

"Was that really necessary you bastard?"

They have been walking for four hours and Naruto still couldn't shut up about him punching her.

"I mean really! It was a joke you frigid jerk!"

Apparently it wasn't right to hit a "woman" as Naruto put it but Sasuke really couldn't have cared less… She sure as hell didn't act like a woman.

"All I did was trip you. You didn't have to punch me. That was totally uncalled for!"

Maybe if he ignored her long enough she would stop talking… Nah, she hasn't stopped in four hours, what would make her stop now?

"Hey! Bastard! Are you even listening to me?"

"No."

"What is your problem! I know you were raised better then this! I met your family!"

Sasuke sighed. She just didn't shut her mouth.

She was singing. No scratch that, she was screeching. She claimed she was singing but in all honestly that was not singing. Sasuke could swear his ears were bleeding from the high pitch and horribly off key notes. As soon as she stopped complaining, Sasuke was granted with two minutes of silence. It was after those two minutes of silence that Naruto decided it was too quiet and started to screech. Every time he told her to stop, she just sung louder. She didn't stop once. Not once in the two hours since she started. So when Naruto tried hit a very high note, Sasuke cringed and decided to try again.

"Will you shut up!"

Naruto smiled and raised her voice. "Nope."

Sasuke had a new-found respect for Jiraiya. He had absolutely no clue how Jiraiya was able to stand traveling with Naruto. Sasuke has only been on the road with her for eight hours and he was reaching his limit. She complained, she sang, she talked non-stop, and she sang again. She hasn't stopped. Sasuke didn't know if she was going through extra lengths to annoy him or if this was how she always acted. Although, he was seriously thinking it was the ladder.

Even though he knew it would be unsuccessful, Sasuke was going to tell her to shut her mouth again. He was interrupted however when a kunai came flying through the air and narrowly missed Naruto's head. She stopped singing immediately, whipped out her kunai (saw that Sasuke did the same), and turned her head to the attacker's direction.

"Well, well, well. I finally found you, Naruto."

Author's Note: I am so sorry for taking so long to finish this chapter. Things have been very hectic lately that I didn't have time to write. But on a better note, things are finally starting to get interesting for Naruto and Sasuke. In the next chapter, some of Naruto's past is revealed which I'm sure will be interesting to you guys (hopefully..)

If anybody catches any grammar or spelling errors, or is just plain confused with anything I wrote, can you please tell me so I can fix them, I would really appreciate it :)

Thanks for reading! And reviews are greatly appreciated! :)
