Disclaimer: i dont own Naruto
this chapter is a little longer, so enjoy~
After 2 days of nothing but running, Neji and Kiba finally reached Konoha. They both went straight to Naruto, who became Hokage thirteen years ago. When they got to his room, Neji quickly knocked on his door.
"Come in." Naruto said from the other side.
Both ninjas walked in and Neji, "Naruto-sama, Ino has been captured by Orochimaru."
Naruto, who was doing paper work, shot his head up.
"How did this happen?" Naruto asked the two of them.
"Well, she went to spy on him, by herself and then we started to get worried because she wasn't back when she said she would be." Kiba explained.
"So, me and Kiba went out to find her and we did. She was with Orochimaru and Kabuto. We tried to get her but she said to tell you." Neji added.
"I see…well you two, make a team of five and come back tomorrow. It's getting late for you guys to find her now."
"Yes, we'll be leaving now." Then him and Kiba left and went home.
Naruto sighed when they both left. "Shit, we have to get her back fast."
As he was thinking his wife, Sakura, entered. "Hey, what's the matter? You look…frustrated." She said as she sat on his lap.
"Ino was captured on her mission." Sakura then stood up.
"What? How?" she asked her husband.
"Well, long story short, she went to spy on Orochimaru and he caught her."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"I told Neji and Kiba to form a team of five and to come here tomorrow." Sakura sighed, worried about her best friend.
"Does Sasuke know?"
"Crap, no. Should I tell him?" He waited for her answer.
"Well yeah! This is his wife that we're talking about; I think he has a right to know what happened!" Sakura said aloud.
"Right, right…I guess I'll go tell him now." He got up from his seat made started walking towards the Uchiha compound.
Meanwhile at the Uchiha compound
Kazuki was sitting at the dining table doing work, Masaru, lying on the floor on his stomach watching T.V with his father, and Mizuki was at their mother's flower shop, closing the store.
"Otou-san." Masaru said.
"Yeah?" Sasuke replied.
"Why did you marry mom?"
Sasuke was surprised he would asks that. "That's random. Why do you want to know?" He asked his son.
"Just curious."
"Well…" But then he heard someone knock on the door.
Kazuki got up and answered the door and saw Naruto.
"Kazuki is your father there?" he asked the sixteen year old Jounin.
"Yeah." He turned his head towards his dad.
"Otou-san, Naruto-sama needs to talks to you." He moved aside so that Sasuke could talk to him.
"Wanna walk around?" Sasuke was a bit confused but agreed to.
They both walked in silence but was broken when Sasuke asked, "Well, what do you want to talk about?" the sun set a while ago and stars were starting to light up the night sky.
"I want to talk about Ino."
Then Sasuke stopped walking suddenly. "What happened to her?" His face expression and tone was serious.
Naruto, a few feet away from him, turned towards him.
"Don't worry, she's not dead…but she's been captured."
Sasuke was speechless. So many things were running through his head, and then remembered that she went to Orochimaru's hideout. He wanted to punch a wall, but kept his cool.
"Orochimaru has her?" he asked to make sure he was right.
"Yeah, he does."
"Thought so." he turned around, about to walk to his house but stopped when he saw his daughter, Mizuki.
She was walking back from the flower shop, but then saw Sasuke and Naruto talking and decided to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Mizuki." He said in a low voice.
"Otou-san, is it true? What he said about okaa-san?" she asked, scared that she might not ever see their mother again.
Sasuke looked at the ground, "Yeah, it's true. Don't worry we'll get her back. Go home, Mizuki, it's dark out here."
Not saying another word, she obeyed her father and went home.
"I should go." Sasuke said to his childhood friend.
"Wait, before you leave, I want you to be a part of the five man squad Neji and Kiba are forming. They're leaving tomorrow, so in the morning, they'll come to your house. But remember, Sasuke, don't go overboard." Naruto then left his friend standing in the dark.
"Just you wait, Ino. I'll be there soon." He then walked to his house.
"Kazuki, Masaru, come here." He called for them just as he entered the house.
"What's the matter?" Kazuki asked his dad.
"Yeah, you seem kind of mad." Masaru added.
Sasuke sat on the couch and his sons also did the same.
"Tomorrow I'll be gone. You're mother has been captured by the people she was suppose to be spying on."
"What? Really? No wonder she isn't home yet." Masaru said loudly.
"So you're going to get her?" Kazuki asked him.
"Yeah, so you're going to be in charge tomorrow. Make sure the other two behave."
"Don't worry, I will."
"Well, I'll be going to bed. The mission might take a couple of days." He said as he yet up the stairs.
"Goodnight, otou-san." Kazuki said.
"Night." Masaru added.
Ino, in the cold chamber, just sat there, chained up to the wall like the civilian. She was breathing hard. The demon in her body felt like it was clawing at her insides. She knew if she wasn't chained up, she would be probably by clawing at her throat, trying to get the demon out.
Cold sweat started to drip from her skin. Kabuto came in to give her her usual medicine so that she won't die.
"Here. Open her mouth." He demanded her. She did what he told her to do. Her then put the medicine in her mouth and poured water too so that the pills would be easier to swallow. After she took her medicine he got up and left, but before he did he said, "I'll be back later with food." And he closed the chamber gate.
"This hurts so bad" some tears started to roll down her cheeks. "I just want to go home; I'm too old for this shit. Well I'm only 35, I'm not old…I guess. I hope everyone else is alright." She thought as she just sat there, waiting for her lunch.
"Okay, Kiba we're going to have Lee, Shikamaru, and Chouji. You get Shikamaru and Chouji and I'll get Lee. When you them two, meet up as Naruto's office." Neji told Kiba.
"Okay." Kiba said and then started walking toward his other teammates' house.
Kiba got to his destination within 10 minutes. He went up to Shikamaru's door and knocked on it.
"Oh, hey Temari. Is Shikamaru awake yet?"
Temari rubbed her eyes, "No, but I'll go wake him up now." She shut the door the door to wake up her husband. After 5 minutes Shikamaru was awake and walked to the door.
"Hey, Kiba. What do you want; it's too early to be up." The lazy bum stated.
"We have a mission to do. Get ready and meet us in Naruto's office."
"Fine." He shut the door to get ready.
Neji went to Rock Lee's door and knocked.
"Neji, what brings you here?" Lee asked his old teammate.
"Lee, we have a mission this morning. Get prepared and meet up in Naruto's office.
"Okay, I'll be there soon!"
Kiba arrived at Chouji's door and knocked on the door.
"Kiba, it's not often that I see you at my house. Do you need something?" Chouji said a bit surprised.
"Chouji, we've been assigned a mission. Get everything ready, and meet us in Naruto's office." He told him and left to go to Naruto's office.
30 minutes passed by and everyone was in Naruto's office.
"Everyone is here, Naruto" Neji announced.
"Good, well you all are here to get Ino back to Konoha." Naruto said to the group.
"Troublesome woman." Shikamaru muttered.
"You all will leave today. This mission must be a success. Orochimaru and Kabuto have her captive. This mission might take a few days; I hope you're all prepared. Also, Sasuke will be joining you all because he's been there and knows a lot about his hideout and jutsus, so before you guys leave make sure to stop by his house. You're all dismissed."
They all left the building and headed to the Uchiha compound. They got to the big house and knocked on the door.
"Kazuki, is Sasuke ready?" Shikamaru asked the young Uchiha.
"Yeah, I'll go get him." He closed the door.
The door opened within a couple of minutes and Sasuke walked out the house.
"Ready, Sasuke." Kiba asked.
"Yeah, let's go." They all walked towards the gates of Konoha.
"Just wait a little longer, Ino. We're coming."
