CHAPTER 3 the mission

Well this was akward everyone was staring at him now and all because of that damn fox.

"Oh um sorry about that" He said rubbing the back of this head nervously. " You never know when your going to get yelled at by some people so it wa just pratice?" Naruto said trying to to sound as convincing as possible.

" It's ok Naruto just tell that little voice in your head that he doesn't have an oppion here." Tsundae replied knowing all to well what that little outburst was all about. That damn fox had a mind of it's own sometimes and there was nothing anyone could be about.

Fox and Itachi looked on with interest this was something new to them. They would have never thought that the Kyuubi was actually talking to the loud blond. It surpirised her somewhat to know that her cousin could actually talk to the Kyuubi. Why hadn't Pein said anything about that?. He was suppose to know wasn't he?

"Anyways Naruto" Tsundae said trying to get the blonds attention once again. "Your mission is to take Suki and her grandfather to the hidden fire village to explore the ruins there. You are the only one going on this mission and it is very important that you tell know one where you are going, you can't even tell Sasulke. Do you understand?" Tsundae said make sure she talk in small words so the blond would understand better. (yes i know bad Fox)

" But why can't i tell him and why can't he come with me? You know how he get baa-chan" Naruto complained.

Itachi took notice that the blond fox actually wanted his brother to come with him and it sound like they were an item or at least close to it.

"I'm terribly sorry my dear boy but we only requested you for this mission. My granddaughter and I want to explore the ruins and see what the village would have been like before it was destoryed " Itachi masked his voice and kept a smile on his face the whole time trying not to get caught by either the hokage or Naruto.

"Oh well then I suppose that we should get going are do you want to hang around the village for a while first?" Naruto asked trying to at least have an excuse to at least see Sasuke one more time before leaving on the mission.

For the first time in a long while he would be going on a mission by himself, no Sakura and no sasuke. All alone with this girl who was hiding something and her grandfather which Naruto was fairly sure wasn't actally her grandfather. There was something off about the both of them and it was starting to irratate him, actually it was down right fusterating.

"I wouldn't mind going to the cemetary" Suki said " I had a realitive that was buried here and i wouldn't mind seeing his grave. I'm sure you can show my grandfather around while I look for it I'm sure he wouldn't mind seeing the village and maybe some of your friends. I shouldn't be to long." Fox really wanted to see her uncles grave and maybe she could sneak in and try and look for some pictures of him.

"If i could make a suggestion?" Itachi said

"Of course Takai" tsunade said not nowing that is was really Itachi she was really talking to.

"I was wondering if I could perhaps go to the cities libray. I want to see what information you may have on the hidden fire village" Itachi asked innocently.

" Oh of cousre i shall have someone escort you to the libray if you wish" the hokage replied politely.

"I'm sure i can find it. Let the boy see his friends for a little while before he goes on the mission with us dear hokage." Itachi was interested to see just what Naruto and Sasuke really were and no doubt he would see something interesting.

well there you have it chapter 3. i'll try and get a chapter a week but i'm back working again so it'll probably be uploaded on sundays around this time.

love you hear all you comments love ya all
