Hi people! Like always, 5 reviews before da next chapter… Get used to this, okay? I think it's gonna be like this for the whole story… By da way, Sakura is OOC in dis chapter… And the Japanese translations may be in different kinds of Japanese… Just a warning. Oh, and There was only four reviews, but I made an exception… just this once.
Now on with the story!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Wake up, Sasuke! Come on!" A very irritated Sasuke woke up to a very happy pink-haired kunoichi. She was already dressed, he noticed.
" Five more minutes…" Sasuke pulled up the blankets. Sakura giggled. Right now, he seemed like such a little boy!
" Aw… Tsunade has a mission for us." Sasuke immediately got up.
" Mission? I thought I wasn't allowed to go on missions." Sakura shrugged.
" She said this time, she'll make an exception." She smiled.
" Hurry up!" Sakura literally jumped out of the window and landed outside, dragging Sasuke to the ground, and out of bed.
" Hey! I'm up already!" Sasuke groaned. He dragged Sakura back into the house and put on his shirt. (O.O)
" Great! NOW let's go!" A very hyper Sakura ran to the Hokage's building.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Hi Sakura-chan! Hi Sasuke-baka!" Naruto greeted. Sasuke scowled. Sakura looked around.
" What's up? The whole gang is here." Tsunade nodded.
" I have assigned all twelve of you to go on a very important mission. I need you to go to the Land of Wind and pick up some documents from the Kazekage's assistant."
" But why all of us? Why not just one person, or one team?" Tenten asked.
" Because lately, there have been many missing Nin, accompanied by a few traitors of the village, set on destroying the place. Eliminating those people is your second objective for this mission." Tsunade handed them a scroll.
" I also need you to deliver this for me. It's a message, and none of you but Sakura are allowed to look inside. This is simply because only she can read the correct thing without being affected by the genjutsu set in it, other than the Kazekage." The Hokage nodded. "I trust all of you will deliver this without hesitation?" Everyone nodded.
" You can trust me! I'll get us there, you can count on it!" He smiled and did his trademark, "Believe it!"
" Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Let's go." Sasuke turned to leave.
" Wait. Sasuke." Tsunade frowned. He mumbled something under his breath and turned around.
" What?"
" I am pretty sure Orochimaru will still be after you, so I am going to have Naruto and Sakura keep an especially close eye on you."
" Don't worry, Tsunade-sama. Just sit back and relax, knowing that we've got the job done. And… Shizune, try to keep her off the sake!" Sakura smiled sheepishly and bolted out of the room. Shizune smiled weakly.
" Will do!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Um… Tell me again why I'm the leader of this mission?" Shikamaru groaned.
" Because you're already a Jounin, and you refused to have a team yet. Pretty soon, you're going to have to get one, you know." Naruto rolled his eyes. Shikamaru sighed.
" This is so troublesome…"
" Be quiet already!" Sakura and Ino yelled. Tenten laughed.
" Sure an awful lot of people here… I almost feel crowded!" She fussed with a shuriken.
" Well, get used to it." Sasuke said gruffly, and leapt ahead.
" What's with him?" Sakura wondered aloud.
" How am I supposed to know?" Tenten asked. Sakura continued to stare after him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Orochimaru…" Sasuke frowned. He knew that his brother was stronger than that…snake, so if he were to kill him, he would have to kill Orochimaru first. ( . ) Sakura caught up to him, frowning.
" Sasuke? What's wrong?" She asked. Sasuke shrugged her off. "Don't give me the silent treatment! Tell me what's wrong!" She fumed. Sasuke looked at her.
" You sound like your sensei. And there's nothing wrong with me. If there was, you wouldn't have the right to know, anyway." He kept on going.
" Hey! Will you ever show any respect to anyone?" Sakura brushed her hair out of her face and leapt ahead of him. He looked after her and sighed. He quickly caught up with her.
" Okay, okay, I'm sorry."
" Wow, the ever great Uchiha heir just told me, a measly Haruno, sorry? Hilarious." Sakura fumed. Sasuke growled.
" Look, I said sorry, okay? If you don't have any respect either, than why even bother talking to you?" Sakura's head snapped towards him.
" You know what I think? I think that you are a selfish, spoiled boy that has always gotten what you want just because you're an UCHIHA! I mean, really! And you shun everyone that tries to be nice, thinking that you're living on 'hate,' and 'rage!' And you never realize… how many friends you could have instead of living this hopeless goal that will never happened without anyone else! YOU'RE AN OBSESSED, SELFISH UCHIHA! YOU'RE A SHAME TO YOUR OWN FATHER!" Sasuke winced as she emphasized the word 'father.' She turned away, and kept heading forward, leaving a very startled Sasuke leaning against a tree. Naruto caught up with him and poked him.
" Are you okay, Sasuke? Sakura just totally snapped." Sasuke didn't answer.
' Maybe she's right.' He thought. His mind fought back.
' No she isn't!' Sasuke frowned. He thought of his past… and realized that he was doing exactly what his brother had told him to. 'Maybe I really am… like that.' Sakura had had been in a rage, showing that she might have not meant every word she said, but there was still a possibility that she really did mean it…
" Hey, Sasuke! WAKE UP SASUKE!" Naruto smiled coyly, and yelled in his ear, "SAKURA KISSED MIROKU!" Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts.
" What?" Naruto laughed.
" THAT WAS TOTALLY PRICELESS! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR THAT!" He held his stomach, and nearly fell off the tree. Luckily, Hinata grabbed his arm.
" It's getting dark. We should set up camp." Sakura said. She glared at Sasuke before turning away to collect firewood. That night, Sasuke fell asleep uneasily.
-----------------------------X-X-x-X-X-------------------------------------
It was about twelve in the morning when the group reached the outer parts of the village hidden in the sand.
" Starting from here, we have to be more careful. We'll all split up by teams." Neji ordered. Tenten and Lee followed him into towards the west of the village.
" I want team seven to deliver the things and deliver the scroll, since it's already in Sakura's possession." Shikamaru told, heading towards the south of the village with Ino and Chouji. Kiba, Hinata, and Shino headed east, leaving the Kazekage tower at the north. Sakura began to run towards the tower. Suddenly, A kunai intercepted the girl. She easily dodged it and grabbed the weapon with her shoe. Just like Sasuke did during the exams, Sasuke realized. She immediately swung it from her shoe, and a painful groan could be heard.
" Come on out! I can sense your chakra!" Sakura shouted. A trio jumped out, the supposed 'leader' had a kunai covered with blood in his hands, and his chest had a large cut.
" Very good… I suppose we underestimated the village of Konoha." He smirked. He wore a black bandana with a skull and bones on it. He had bandages wrapped around his left eye, and he wore a large, white shirt with a large black stripe circling it and navy blue shorts with white bandages wrapped all around his left leg.
" I suppose now's when we fight." The girl of the team had red hair. She wore a white dress with bandages wrapped around her chest. She wore a simple white bandana. The second boy just had a simple t-shirt about the same as Sasuke's and jeans with bandages wrapped around his arms. The leader immediately attacked Sasuke, the other boy attacking Naruto, leaving the girls to fight each other.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Sakura No Hana senbon no jutsu!" (Cherry blossom needles…I'm pretty sure… I just wanted her to use some ninjutsu…) the girl was surrounded by a tornado of cherry blossom petals that were razor sharp, and cut into the girl.
" My name is Akanoko and I refuse to be beat by a girl like you!" She yelled, twisting her crimson hair.
" Too BAD!" Sakura released a large amount of chakra directly into the ground, causing Akanoko to stumble.
" Sakura blizzard techinique!" Dozens of kunai finished up the girl. Sakura smirked as she waited for her teammates to finish their battles.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Akanoko!" The leader turned his head towards the fallen girl.
" Don't get distracted! I am your enemy!" Sasuke blew out a large fireball towards the leader. He easily dodged it, but he again turned around, this time facing his other teammate.
" Horuso! Finish up your opponent and take Akanoko with you!"
" I hear you, Kisaru!" Horuso dodged Naruto's kunai.
" Summoning jutsu!" (I forgot how to say it in Japanese…If you guys know, please remind me!) Sasuke summoned a large Snake. " Attack!" Kisaru was swallowed whole. (O.O That was kind of sudden…) Horuso looked around nervously.
" Summoning jutsu!" Sakura and Naruto both summoned a frog and slug. Hirosu looked around nervously. Grabbing his dead teammate, he left, wishing he could take his leader too. Sasuke smirked.
" That was too easy." They continued their journey to deliver the scroll.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Munesanzam Kyuuzou No jutsu!" Ino shouted. (Mind explosion technique…Sorry. Was bored.) Her opponent staggered, and in less than five second, he was dead. Ino smirked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Kage Shi-Rodu!" (Shadow shield) A black sphere surrounded the lazy ninja to deflect an oncoming kunai. " Hey! I'm trying not to die here!" Shikamaru yelled. " Kage Zetsumei!!" (Shadow death) His opponent, (A GIRL! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!) Began to turn into shadows, and disappeared.
" No!" She shrieked.
" Why do I ALWAYS get stuck with the annoying girls?" He looked at Ino. " Forget that… All girls are annoying."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Nikudzukinoyoi Bomu!" (Fat bomb. EEW! GROSS!) Umm… I will not put a description here…I think you can imagine what happens…the trio hopped off to fight more missing Nin.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Shugohakke Rokujyuu Yonshuu!" (I memorized this… I think it means '64 strikes of Divination eight seals,' or something like that.) Neji blocked off his opponent's chakra and finished him off with a kunai to the throat. (Yes, I know the battle scenes are short, but the last battle will last about a chapter…) Tenten grabbed a large demon wind shuriken and hit her opponent with it.
" Kengeki Zansatsu!" (Meaning weapons slaughter…Kind of cruel….) She flung numerous weapons and a number of them hit her opponent. She finished him off with a cut to the throat. Not a very nice way to go. (Although I think being eaten by a snake is worse.) Lee's battle was very quick, as his fight was against a…nothing… he had no opponent… how sad…
--------------------------------------SASUSAKU 4EVER!-------------------------------------------
Sakura entered the Kazekage's office, Naruto and Sasuke following.
" It's so dark in here… Sakura began to reach for a light switch. Suddenly, Sasuke dropped down on his knees and groaned in pain, clutching at his neck. (I think you know what that means)
" Sasuke! Are you all right?" Sakura asked, worried for her teammate, leaving the room dark. (For my own use ) Sasuke groaned.
" It's…him… the snake…" He panted. "It hurts…" Naruto's eyes widened, and he threw a kunai at the darkest end of the room. A hand reached out from the shadows and grabbed the kunai. Sakura stepped back. Out of the shadows, holding a kunai was Kabuto, Orochimaru behind him.
" Hello… Sasuke."
-----------------------------------------DIE, OROCHIMARU!---------------------------------------
All right! Um… yeah. OROCHIMARU STINKS! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
