Ch. 4 Pursuit Prelude
Lake Crimson
"Ugnh, uhhhh, umbgnmmmmmm." moaned Sakura as she began to stir. Itachi smirked and bit her ear, "Aaaaaaaahh." squeled Sakura now fully awake. "Itachiiiiiiiii. You jerk, that wasn't very nice!" exclaimed Sakura. "Good morning to you to sweetheart." replied Itachi calmly, kissing Sakura right after he spoke. "We better be on our way. We need to make it to the Akatsuki hideout before dark." stated Itachi. "Hai." replied Sakura as they both got up and started moving, headed to Akatsuki.
Tsunade's Office
"Lady Tsunade!" yelled Naruto as he entered her office. 'Oh Great.' Tsunade sighed. "Yes Naruto?" "Sasuke went missing!" yelled Naruto with a tone like he was a little kid tattling on another kid for whatever reason. "I know this Naruto." replied Tsunade. "Then send me after him!" Naruto said still yelling. "No." was all Tsunade said. She didn't yell it, she didn't say it with any emotion, it was just no. This stunned Naruto for a whole half a second before he exploded. "AND WHY NOT?! SASUKE IS MY BEST FRIEND! AN-" He was cut off. "Naruto! Do you even know where to look or even who took him?" Tsunade eneding on a calm note. Naruto paused then bowed his head and answered, "No." "Just as I thought. Now get out of here." replied Tsunade. Naruto walked out head bowed lost in thought.
Hyuga House
Neji woke with a start. He had a terrible dream. The dream had him and Tenten and had started out nice, they always do.
'They were walking down a path in Konoha's largest park. They were holding hands, then the dream turned bad. They were holding hands when they came across a bench. They decided to sit down and then they turned to look at each other, they were getting ready to kiss when 'poof ' Tenten turned into Lee. Neji was so startled he fell off the bench. Lee said, " Geez Neji. Didn't know you felt like that." "I don't dumbass, I'm not Sasgay. Now where is Tenten?"
replied Neji irritably. "Oh, I don't know, go look around the fountain." replied Lee. So Neji went to look around the fountain. What he found there scared him so bad it woke him up. Tenten was laying there in a puddle of her own blood with scratches all over her and a sword threw her heart.'
As the replay of the dream ended Neji's breathing slowed. The dream had scared him but he finally got his thoughts in order and got ready for the day. He took a shower, got dressed, ate breakfast, and went to find Hinata for morning training.
Tenten's House
Tenten tiredly got out of bed and went to take a shower. When she got out she looked at the clock and realized she was going to be late for training only to remember she had a sprained ankle and wasn't allowed to go train for 5 whole days, she groaned. "Well this bites." 'Hmmm I wonder what Neji is doing today. Maybe I shoud call him. But after yesterday I wonder what he would think. Yet he is the one who kissed me first.' sigh 'What to do, what to do? I really want to see Neji.' Before Tenten realized it she was on the phone listening to it ring. 'Shit I don't remember dialing the number or even walking over to the phone and picking it up.' "HELLO!" said the voice on the other side of the phone for the third time. "Oh!...H-h-hello, I'm sorry I dropped the phone." lied Tenten. "Ummm... Is Neji there?" she asked. The voice on the other side of the phone sounded like a woman when she replied with "No I'm sorry but he was called away to train Lady Hinata-sama. May I take a message?" "uh, sure. Could you tell him Tenten called please." "Sure thing." "Thank you." and with that Tenten hung up the phone. "Well that bites. man now what am I supposed to do?" Tenten sat on the couch and turned on the T.V. She soon fell asleep from boredom.
Tsunade's Office
"Lady Tsunade? You called for us?" asked the ANBU captian of team 13, Rikari. "Yes, I did. Rikari, Hoske, Kao, Teka, I've got a plan. For the time forget about Sasuke. Chase after Sakura and most likely you'll find Sasuke. Dispose of Itachi. Understood?" "Hai. Lady Tsunade-sama." replied Rikari. "But where can we find Sakura. For all we know they have already reached Akatsuki." "No I doubt it. Take the ninja hounds and go to Itachi's hidout and follow their scent from there got it?" "Hai, Lady Tsunade-sama, understood." "Alright...dismissed..Oh wait before you leave go to the medical center and tell them that Akari Kashikito has been called away for a mission." "Hai, but who is this Akari person?" asked Rikari. "Akari is an extremely skilled medic nin...not to mention she is one of the best tracker ninjas we have...And don't be surprised by her appearence or her attitude, K?" "Hai, but what do you mean sur-" Rikari was cut off. "You'll see, you'll see. Dismissed." said Tsunade. The Anbu nodded and poofed out of the room to go get Akari.
Training
"AGAIN!" yelled Neji. "H-h-hai." said Hinata sheepishly. "B-b-byakugon!" Hinata then ran for Neji. "BYAKUGON!" yelled Neji. WHAM. SMACK. Poke. COUGH. Hinata and Neji were going at it full force. "Concentrate harder Hinata." said Neji. "Hai." said Hinata running towards Neji. She went to hit him when, SMACK, Neji blocked. Poke Neji poked Hinata in the shoulder cutting off her chakra. "GAK" Hinata coughed up blood. "Enough for today Neji. Hinata you may go." said Hizashi(sp?), Hinata's dad. "Hai. Uncle Hizashi." said Neji. "Yes father." replied Hinata when they all heard, "HINATA!!" yelled Naruto as he ran up. "N-N-Naruto!" said Hinata surprised. Neji didn't say anything. "What do you want with my daughter you failure?" asked Hizashi coldly. Naruto stopped infront of Hinata, turned and looked at Hizashi, "You want to know what I want..?" Naruto smirked, "This is what I want." and with that Naruto turned and crushed his lips down on to Hinata's gently kissing her. Hinata closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck. Neji stared wide eyed and Hizashi was speechless. The kiss ended and Naruto said, "I have a mission with Shika's group. I'll be back soon,K, my love?" Hinata, blushing all the while, simply nodded and hugged him. "Be back s-s-soon K. My Birthday." she was cut off. "Your birthday is in 6 days. I know, I know. I'll make sure I'm Back by then. Love you bye." Naruto said as Shikamaru walked up looked at Naruto and turned to walk away with Naruto right on his heels. He turned to wave at Hinata who waved back and then he was gone. Hinata turned and saw Neji's and her dad's faces and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Their faces looked like 'WTF'O.O. She fell to the ground laughing.
Fire Country Edge
"How much farther." asked Sasuke. "Probably a day or two. Why?" Kisame replied. "Does Itachi know I'm coming?" "No. Why?" sasuke shrugged "It doesn't matter, either way I'm going to kill him." "If it didn't matter then why'd you ask?" asked Kisame through gritted teeth. 'Man this kid is getting annoying. Pein better be happy.' "Lets rest here tonight." stated Kisame bluntly as he saw Sasuke yawn. "K." Sasuke replied.
Konoha Hospital
"Excuse me...ummm I'm looking for an Akari Kashikito, could you page her please?" asked Teka politly. "Why?" asked the snobby receptionist behind the desk. "She has been called away for a mission by Lady Tsunade-sama, here." Teka handed over a paper. "Hurry up Teka." complained Hoske. "Yeah, we were supposed to be in and out by now." added Kao. "Boys. SHUT UP!" hissed Rikari. "Alright. I'll page her." The receptionist paged Akari. A few minutes later a girl about 14 walked out the double doors. The ANBU team didn't care. Hoske looked up though and was blown away. This girl looked 14 and wore black pants with holes, a tight shirt ripped at the bottom. Had on a black headband bit it blended in with her red tinted black hair. On her side where and area of the shirt was ripped you could see half of a black cresent moon, the other half hidden under her pants. He looked into her eyes and instantly knew she had red eyes though she wore blue contacts. 'WOW! She is so HOTT!' Then he sensed it. Something odd about her, something dangerous. She stopped walking and crossed her arms. No one said anything so she spoke up. "You called?" she said with sort of an attitude. Everyone looked at her with O.o kind of looks. They were still staring when she said, "I'm Akari Kashikito. You paged me for a mission?" Everyone was shocked but Hoske managed to say, "Hai. Lade Tsunade-sama h-" he was cut off. "Called me out to help you track down the traitor-nin Sakura Haruno,and the missing-nin Sasuke Uchiha. Along with my side mission of destorying all of Akatsuki." "There's no way in hell that you can destroy Akatsuki. They'll kill you faster tha-"Kao got cut off. "SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP! NONE OF YOU EVEN KNOW ME! You don't know what I'm capable of!" growled Akari "Alright. Enough. Let us leave in peace." said Rikari stopping a soon to be brutal fight. Akari turned and glared walking toward the door saying. "Fine. Lets leave." Everyone shared a galnce and followed after her. Akari walked straight to Tsunade's Office. "Why are we going here Akari?" asked Teka sweetly. "I have a request." she replied simply.
Tsunade's Office
Akari burst through the door. Tsunade looked up in surprise but then relaxed when she saw you it was. She looked back down at her papers and said, "I have already changed his mission. He should b-" BAM! Naruto burst through the door cutting off Tsunade. "Granny Tsunade? Why'd you change my mission at the last second?" "You want to find Sasuke? Well here's your chance." she stated calmly. "REALLY?! ALRIGHT!" he yelled. Then he saw the ANBU team and bowed. " Please let me help you." he said politely. Teka, whose parents resent Naruto (some of the few who still hate him for having the kyuubi sealed inside him), said hotly, "Why are we talking the 'Monster', the demon boy?" NAruto looked down sad when they all heard a huge WHAM! everyone looked up to see Teka slumped up against the wall and Akari where Teka was before. "NEVER! NEVER TALK ABOUT NARUTO LIKE THAT AGAIN!" Akari yelled. Everyone looked at her. "Akari your going to !?" yellled Naruto in excitement. "So your on his side? WHY?!" yelled Teka. AKari looked down and replied darkly, "Because. We aare the same." How so!?" Tsunade stepped in, "They are the same because Akari has no parents and has the Two-tailed wolf demon sealed in her." The ANBU team was surprised. "B-b-b-but isn't that like THE strongest demon ever to roam the earth?!" asked Kao. "Yes. But Akari is a strong girl. She is Naruto's trainer. She is helping him learn how to control the Nine-taled fox because she has control of the Inunibi." Their jaws dropped. "I told you not to underestimate me." Akari growled. Rikari looked to Akari and asked, "How old are you?" Akari glared at her and said, "It's none of your buisness but I'll tell you anyway. I'm 15 just like Naruto." she said with a 'hmph' kind of tone. "So yor a monster to?" realization just hitting Teka. Akari glared but then smiled sweetly and said, "I'm not a monster and neither is Naruto. We are Konoha Ninja here to save, protect, and fight for our village. The village we love dearly." Naruto joined Akari at this point and both of them said, "We will fight for this village. We will die for this village. We will live for this village. It's out shinobi way, our ninja code, our honor to do so." The ANBU team was taken aback, Tsunade smiled. "I think they have proven to be worthy of not being called monsters for I believe no monster could care that much about anything. And I do believe Naruto has someone he cares about greatly. One of the only people to have seen him for him." "Who?" asked Kao. Tsunade looked at Naruto and saw him blushing. "Naruto?" He looked up and had determination in his eyes, "My girlfriend. Hinata Hyuuga." "I believe it is time to leave. Goodbye Tsunade-sama." said Akari walking to the door, Naruto and the ANBU team right behind her. Tsunade smirked, 'Wait til they find out how much of a hand full she really is.' Tsunade snickered.
Road
"So dude, you hit it up with the Hyuuga girl?" asked Hoske. "Yea." Naruto said shyly. "Thats cool. My name is Hoske. I'm 17. My face mask is that of a black cat. This spunky young lady here with teh tiger mask is Teka. Shes 20. Kao here is 22 and has a bird mask. And our leader here is Rikari. She is 21 and has a wolf mask." Naruto nodded to each in turn. Naruto then said, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I'm 15 years old and am technically still a genin though thats cuz I was gone for a couple years. I'm treated as a chunin. This here is Akari Kashikito. She's 15 and has." he hesitated, Akari nodded, "Has an angermangement issue. She normally doesn't leave the village unless." he was cut off. "Unless the mission is extremely important to the safety of the village. Other than that I stay here incase of a surprise attack." finished Akari, looking alittle sad for a moment then instantly as though she just realized she was showing emotion put her shield up masking her face with no emotion at all. Everyone but Naruto stared. "Look we need to hurry so quit asking questions and lets get a move on it." Akari said running off ahead of the group. Rikari nodded, "Shes right. Lets go." and took off running after Akari. The others following close behind.
Park
Tenten sat on a bench bored. She sighed. Suddenly someone pulled her hair causing her head to lean back only to have lips crushed to hers. Her eyes widened but then she relaxed when the person pulled away and said, "Shouldn't you be at home resting your leg." "OooOOooh cut me some slack Neji. I got too bored and wanted to go somewhere." She smiled. Neji sat next to her and sighed. Tenten was nervous and she noticed Neji was to when Neji spoke up. "Tenten about the other day. I...well I didn't know how to express myself at the time but now I do. Tenten, I want you to be mine. I love you and want to always be with you. So would you be my girlfriend?" Tenten smiled and looked at Neji. She took his face and kissed him gentally. "Of course Neji. Why wouldn't I?" she asked him. He just smiled and they sat there for a while longer before Neji helped her home and headed home for lunch.
Water front
"Ne. Itachi. Where are we?" asked Sakura. "We are approximately 3 miles from the Akatsuki hideout." "Oh. Ok." Sakura said excitement in her voice. "I can't wait to get a robe and ring. Then I can be with you more. I Love You Itachi." she said while kissing him. Itachi smirked, 'Thats what you think. You annoying pink haired bitch.' Sakura ran ahead and yelled, "Come on Itachi. Hurry." "Slow down Sakura. Stay by my side or you will trip a trap and die." Sakura stopped and waited for Itachi to catch up. "Sorry." she said quietly. "It's fine Sweetheart." Itachi put his arm around her and continued walking toward the Akatsuki Mansion.
