Me: Gomen! Forgive me for not updating for sooo long! Well guess what I already got another chapter done! I'm going to try to get as many chapters out as soon as I can!

Breezy-chan: Cherry-chan does not own Naruto! She's a Chinese American not a talented Japanese man with artistic skills! But… she does own a character. (Spoiler! The Anbu in this chapter.)

Me: Sheesh you don't have to rub it in Breezy-chan....

Both: And now what you've all been waiting for…Chapter 4!!!!!

Chapter 4

Gardening…this is a mission? Wow Konoha has odd missions for genin that's for sure….I bet Sand genin get better ones…Panda-kun…I haven't seen him for years not since before the massacre…

"Datteboyo!!! Weeding is not going to slow me down because I'm gonna be the next Hokage!!!!" the baka…um…Naruto yelled.

He was speeding through and pulling everything out of the yard…including the herbs…the grass…uh oh…Just then the homeowner came out. The lady came to check on us probably and she had a tray of sweets…and dango!!! Yum!!!

"-gasp- You idiot!!! You were supposed to get the weeds not my whole garden!!!!" The lady yelled dropping her dish as it broke on the ground.

Mission Failed.

Well…here we are again…more chores…This time we are stuck walking dogs. And being the idiot he was…Naruto chose the biggest one. Ya…guess where it leads him…through a booby trapped area. Wow never seen someone so…bad at walking dogs...Mission Failed yup again…

Currently…a baka, an Uchiha, and I were on a "Retrieve Lost Cat Mission" Gah! How could this even be considered a mission?!?!

"This is Sasuke and I found the target."

"Sakura here and I also spotted the target!" I replied through the ear piece.

I heard a loud rustle noise and an ow through the ear piece only minutes later. Assuming it just Naruto…I thought…Naruto will be Naruto…-sigh- That will never change.

"Uzumaki Naruto here! I'm in position!! I'm going for it!"

Minutes later, Sasuke and I rushed to Naruto's spot seeing him carrying the cat away from his scratched up face.

"Target is confirmed, with a definite red bow on its ear!" I said to our sensei.

"Okay, head back to the Hokage tower. I'll meet you all there." Our mysterious sensei replied.

Then we all dashed back to the tower and gave our reports to the Third.

"My little moochie!!! You are finally back!!!! I'm never letting you out of my sight again!!! Thank you so much!" A large lady said hugging her cat to death while leaving the room.

"Jeez…I can see why she ran away…" Naruto mumbled.

"Alright mission success…now I have more missions for you…gardening, babysitting, dog sitting…." The Third stated.

"Grrr!!! Enough with the chores! When are we going to get a real mission?" screamed an annoyed Naruto.

'I definitely agree with him on that one'

'-sigh- The dobe makes a point for once' Sasuke thought.

"Naruto! You know how it works! You are still a genin there for you are admission to do only D ranked missions!" Iruka replied.

"Well…Naruto…I assume you know how missions are assigned?" The Third said.

Naruto just stood completely clueless acting like he did know.

"Right…Missions have varieties of ranks and are each classified by its difficulty. Genin are assigned D-Ranked Missions with few C-Ranked Missions. At Chuunin, they receive C-Ranked and very few B-Ranked. Jounin, however receive B-Ranked Missions and hardly A-Ranked Missions. Anbu Black Ops handle most of the A-Ranked as well as S-Ranked," The Third said blowing a ring of smoke out of his mouth. "However, I shall give you a C-Ranked Mission."

The Hokage searched through his pile of papers and pulled out one. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Come in"

Out stepped an old aged man in all his glory…Haha, NOT!!! It was a drunken old aged man with a beer bottle in his hand.

"Your mission is to escort Tazuna to his home in the Wave Country to build his bridge." The Third said.

"These kids are going to be my escorts? Pff And whose the stupid looking short kid?" the drunken man said wobbling.

"Hahaha! Who's the stupid looking short kid?" Naruto laughed.

Sasuke and I just stood next to him and it proved he was the shortest of us all.

"Why you! I'm going to kill you!!!!" Naruto screamed.

"You can't kill the client, Naruto." Kakashi said holding him back.

After the mission briefing everyone left the room to get ready for the long trip ahead of them. Once everyone was gone, an Anbu appeared in the room.

(An Anbu's POV)

"You called for me?" I inquired bowing down.

"Ah yes, I would like you to follow Team Kakashi on their mission. You are to take the role of a Jounin. Kakashi of course will know about you tagging along but has no clue of your Anbu status. I have reason to believe the Akatsuki might be near by the Wave Country…I'm counting on you…Uchiha Ayami…" The Third explained.

"Of course Hokage-sama, I swore to protect my little brother at all cost." I said disappearing.

'Sasuke…I wish you would give up your obsession of revenge…if only you know the truth about Itachi….'

(Sakura's POV)

An hour past, it was time to meet up with the team. Quickly I shifted into a cheetah for I was very late. Rushing to the gates I saw Sasuke, Naruto, and…not Kakashi? In his place was a female Jounin that looks strangely so much alike to Sasuke. I shifted back to my regular form.

"Ohayo Naruto! Ohayo Sasuke! Ano…who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Ayami, Hokage-sama asked me to join your team so there will be two of us Jounins." the black haired girl said. She had long hair reaching to her mid back with onyx eyes.

'Why does there need to be two Jounins for a C-Ranked Mission? oh well it was the Hokage-sama's decision.'

'I don't know…maybe it has to do with Tazuna…our client.' Kusumi inclined.

'Hey Sasuke…what do you think might happen if the Hokage-sama believes we need two Jounins on this mission?'

'Maybe it has to do with something dangerous…like…' Sasuke thought.

'Like what? Akatsuki? Client lying?'

'Hai…it's very likely that Akatsuki may be in this because of Naruto…Although I'm a bit suspicious about this Tazuna guy…' Sasuke thought.

'Do you think he was lying about the mission like not including some facts? That it should actually be a B-Ranked Mission or higher?'

'Possibly, we'll just have to hope for the best…I guess…' Sasuke thought.

I was pretty sure I looked like this…O.O…once I notice Ayami looked exactly like Sasuke…not just plainly alike…

'Sakura-chan? Are you alright?' Sasuke thought.

I blushed as I heard Sasuke call me Sakura-chan.

'Y-ya I-I'm alright. Thanks for your concern…Sasuke…Sasuke-kun'

I looked up and saw that Sasuke had a slight blush on his face right before he turned away.

'You like him don't you?' Kasumi said smirking.

I wanted to deny it but…Kusumi knew when I lied.

'Why did you call me Sakura-chan? Do you like me or something?'

'I…uh…' Sasuke thought back.

Again I saw the slight blush but I never got my answer for Naruto cut us off…Oh well I'll get it out of him at some point.

"Let's do this thing!!! Our first mission outside of Konoha!!!" Naruto yelled.

Me: Well that's the end of the chapter! R&R!!!! This chapter was dedicated to a special someone's birthday!

-Drum Roll-

Both: Sasuke!!!! Happy Birthday Uchiha Sasuke!!!!!
