"Lately, things have been extremely calm," Sakura said to Naruto as they walked through the market place. It was a beautiful day outside and everything was going good, meaning that there were no attacks on the Underground, so the gang had decided to go out. Kiba was trying to teach Akamaru and Gaara how to get girls while Hinata and Tenten were buying items that Tsunade had requested. Sasuke on the other hand was by himself because he didn't want to 'deal with anyone's shit' as he put it when they first left the Underground.

"You're right," Naruto said with a sigh, "I feel that something bad is going to happen, it's been too quiet." Naruto did not want to sound like a pessimist but he knew his parents too well. They had to be planning something big if they were not bombarding the Underground with constant attacks.

"Naruto, we all know that they are not going to give up their fight but maybe this is just a time we should use to rest and regain our strengths. If they are not attacking the Underground constantly then that's a good thing isn't it?" Sakura asked as she intertwined her fingers with his as she looked up to him.

Naruto shook his head and looked away from her, Sakura was right but he knew that is parents were planning something big. He just had this feeling that the Underground was going to be attacked by something that they could not handle and that frightened him.

"Just don't think about it... okay?" Sakura said as she began to pull Naruto along to the other side of the market place. She needed to cheer him up, he had overworked himself trying to answer all of their problems at once. She looked around and spotted a pastry stand near by, she ran over to it dragging Naruto and bought one of the cakes from the man. It was not because she was hungry nor was that her way to cheer up Naruto; She had a different use for the pastry.

"Sakura-chan... what are you doing?" Naruto asked dumbfounded as Sakura crouched behind a different cart. "You look stu-"

"Shhhh! Crouch down!" She shouted in a hushed voice but Naruto obeyed her demands and crouched behind the cart along with her.

"Now, watch this." She said as she slowly lifter her head to see above the stand. She threw the pastry and it glided above the heads of a few people before hitting her intended target.

"WHAT THE HELL! WHO'S THE LITTLE SHIT HEAD THAT THREW THIS?" Sasuke fumed as he angrily wiped the contents of the pastry off of his face.

Naruto raised his head just enough to witness the flaming Sasuke, he and Sakura stared at him for several seconds in silence before looking at each other and bursting out in laughter over the reaction from Sasuke. Their laughter had echoed through the market catching the attention of the extremely pissed off monster who began to make his way towards the chuckling duo. They had failed to realize that Sasuke was hovering above them as they clutched their stomachs from laughing so much. Sasuke only grew angrier by the second and once they had finally calmed themselves down, Sasuke allowed his emotions to get the best out of him. He angrily flipped the stand over the two, all the juices that were once on it now spilled all over them.

The whole marketplace grew silent after witnessing what just happened, the two sat down in shock as they were soaked in random fruit juices that tasted like a mix of mango, watermelon, and other exotic fruits. It was Kiba who broke the silence with a loud yell was heard throughout the place that caused everyone to go in to mass chaos.

"FOOD FIGHT!"

"Are you serious... a food fight in the market place, are we five years old again?" Tsunade said angrily at the group that was in her office once again.

"...I'm actually one thousand and nine hundred years old Tsunade..." Kiba piped in with a stupid look upon his face. This remark had only cause Tsunade to look at him with a poker face before banging her head on the desk. She simply could not stand Kiba when he talked, he always amazed her with his stupidity.

"This is Teme's fault once again..." Naruto mumbled who was still drenched in random juices.

"MY FAULT?" Sasuke exclaimed, "It was that pink-haired demon who started this whole mess!" Sasuke said disgustedly as he picked a random piece of lettuce off of his shoulder. This remark had caused Sakura to throw mango bits that she pulled out of her hair at him.

"I don't care who started this.." Tsunade said as she kept her head laid down on her desk. "None of you are allowed to leave the Underground unless you are granted permission by myself only. If you want to behave like children then I will treat you like children. I have to deal with a war between all the organizations and you idiots are out causing me more problems!" Tsunade's head snapped up, giving all of them death glares.

"Now all of you get out."

"Is everyone in place Temari?" Kushina asked as she paced back and forth in her office. The time was drawing near for the Hunters to finally start their attack against the Underground; and Kushina was positive that they would have the pink-haired one in their possession by the end of the trip.

"Yes leader-sama," Temari said as she bowed in front of her leader, "The girls are ready to go and obtain what we are going there for."

"Good," Kushina said with a menacing smile covering her face. She moved to where her desk was and gently removed the sword from the case it was held in. "I want you to have this Temari."

"The sword? But I thought you were going to use it today..." Temari said confused as her leader softly placed the sword into her open hands.

"I was but I have other things I have to do alone today. This sword will not benefit me in completing my tasks so I'm allowing you to have it since you are leading this mission." Kushina finished with a wink.

"I'm leading the mission by myself?" Temari exclaimed, "I will not fail you leader-sama!" She finished as she stood up facing Kushina and gripping the sword in her right hand.

"I know you won't Temari." Kushina walked past the girl and opened the door for the two of them. "We should get going, don't you think? We both have a long day ahead of us."

"Yes leader-sama!" Temari said as she exited out of the room. She knew she was not going to fail, she refused to let it happen, and she was extremely confident in herself now that she held the sword within her grasps.

"Well, this sucks," Kiba said with a sigh as he spiraled all over the small couch in Naruto's room. "We are stuck in this place for who knows how long!"

"If someone hadn't started a food fight, we would not be in this situation right now." Sasuke said as he glared at Sakura. He sat at a table near the window and sipped some coffee from a small cup.

Tenten sighed and stood up, placing her hands on her hips, "Sasuke, you are the one that decided to flip that cart and that was what caused the huge fight. That little pastry that Sakura had thrown had not caused it, you did."

"She shouldn't have started with me." Sasuke huffed as he blew on his coffee.

"Maybe you sh-should learn how t-to control your t-temper," Hinata chimed in as she looked down at her fingers.

This remark had caused Sasuke to raise an eyebrow, especially since it came from Hinata.

"I know how to control my temper." Sasuke said softly, looking out the window away from the others.

"You heard that Akamaru? Sasuke said he knows how to control his temper!" Kiba shouted as he rolled off the couch, laughing loudly.

Sasuke's wings twitched, it was obvious that he was bothered by Kiba's actions, but he just sipped his coffee as he refrained himself from throwing himself across the room at Kiba.

"No offense guys but..." Naruto spoke up as he stopped his card game with Sakura to look at everyone, "Why are you all in my room?"

Everyone was silent not sure how to answer the question, Kiba sat up from his current place in order to look at everyone else in hope they had an answer but they did not.

"We like your compa-" Tenten was interrupted by the knock on the door. "I'll get it."

Tenten got up to go answer the door while everyone else just went back to what they were doing. She lazily opened the door and was shocked to find Temari on the other side of it standing there with a devilish smile plastered upon her face. Before Tenten could do anything Temari cut her in the stomach with the sword, it was not a deep cut but, since it was from that special sword, it killed her as soon as it touched her skin. Tenten's body it the ground with a loud thump that caused everyone's head to snap up within an instant.

"Tenten!" Kiba yelled as he jumped up and began to run over to Tenten but was stopped when Naruto tackled him to the floor in order to save him.

"Kiba, stop," Naruto said as he fought against Kiba to hold him back, "You will be next if you go over there, she has the sword."

"LET ME GO! SHE KILLED HER!" Kiba screamed as he struggled against Naruto's hold. Tears began to stream down his face as he looked at Tenten's body just laying there motionless.

"He's right Kiba," Temari casually said as she leaned against the door frame, twirling the sword in her hand, "I would relax unless you want to be dead just like her."

"You little bitch." Sasuke growled as he stood up from his chair.

Sasuke grabbed the table he was sitting at and flung it across the room towards Temari's direction. Temari ducked just in time as it shattered into pieces when it banged against the wall of the hallway outside. Sasuke began to charge at Tenten but was stopped when one of Naruto's tails pulled his feet from underneath him, letting him fall to the floor.

Naruto was struggling to restrain Kiba and Sasuke at the same time. He was beginning to lose his hold on Kiba and, despite the fact that his tails were singeing Sasuke's leg, Sasuke still fought against him, getting closer to Temari each second.

"I could use some help!" Naruto yelled as Kiba began to get the upper hand in their quarrel. Finally coming to his sense, Akarmaru tackled Kiba in order to keep him down so Naruto could go deal with Sasuke.

Naruto quickly got to his feet and ran over to where Sasuke was desperately trying to release himself from Naruto's tails. Naruto grabbed Sasuke by the legs and threw him across his room in order to get some space between him and Temari. Sasuke crashed into the wall, leaving a huge hole between Naruto's room and the one next to his. Sasuke slowly began to stand up but before he was on his two feet Gaara, in his monster form, threw him back on the ground.

"Well, as amusing as this is, I must go. I have to invade the rest of your home. Oh, and I will be back for pinky over there," Temari said pointing at Sakura who was slowly moving around the fights to get to Tenten but Sakura stopped looking up at Temari who was grinning at her. "Let's go Hinata."

"Hinata?" Naruto said softly as he looked at the girl who began to rise off the floor.

"How did you think we got in unnoticed?" Temari said with a laugh. She then turned and walked down the hall with Hinata following her on her heels.

Naruto stood there staring at the doorway to shocked by what just happened. He couldn't believe that sweet little Hinata had helped them. She had helped them come into their home and kill their friend, one of the people who welcomed her with open arms.

Naruto sat still as his tails swirled around him, he just couldn't believe this was all happening and there was NO way he was going to let Temari come back to take Sakura too. Naruto was beyond furious and he was determined to make them pay, he definitely was going to make Hinata pay for fooling them like this, for being the cause of Tenten's death, and he was going to get Temari before she would even think of trying to take Sakura.

"Naruto... Naruto... Nar-Naruto... Naruto... Naru-Naruto..." Sakura called his name repeatedly in between sobs but he was not answering, he was in his own little world and that was not a good thing for her. She needed help because she had no idea of what to do; Gaara and Sasuke were still fighting and they were destroying the room and the room next door, Kiba and Akamaru were wrestling on the floor, Tenten's head was resting on her lap but her body was still limp, and to say that Sakura was terrified was an understatement.

Sakura cried and cried, to her it felt like it had been hours before everyone stopped fighting and came to their senses. Naruto stood behind her, his hands on her shoulder, while everyone else circled around her and Tenten's body. The once small cut was now a huge gash and Sakura held her hands on it in order to stop the blood from rushing out, as she closed her eyes to calm herself down. She could not change the fact that Tenten was gone but being hysterical about it was not going to help either.

"We have to leave her here for now, the Hunters are running around the Underground and we should be out there helping everyone who is fighting against them. We can't let her death go to vain, let this be our drive to win this war." Kiba said as he stood up on his feet, wiping the tears from his eyes, "It definitely will be mine."

Kiba walked out of the room and went the direction where he heard all the loud noise coming from. He had two people who he wanted to find and deal with them first before helping anyone else out. This time Naruto wasn't going to be there to stop him from attacking, even if Temari had the sword, Kiba was determined to kill her because she had gotten away with far too much.

"Come on Sakura-chan, we have to get you out of here," Naruto helped Sakura off of the ground. Her hands and clothes were all bloody and she was surprisingly calm despite of the recent events.

"Naruto," Sasuke spoke in order to get his attention, "Gaara, Akarmaru, and I are going out to fight and help the others. Do you need any of us to help you with anything because if you do not we are going to go."

"I'll be fine with her but just be careful out there with Temari." Naruto said as he looked at the other guys. He did not want anything to happen to them with Temari out there carrying that sword around. "If you see Kiba out there can you keep an eye on him?"

"I'll find him and stay by his side." Akarmaru answered Naruto looking out into the hall where loud screams and cries began to be heard inside of the room now.

"We will be fine Naruto, just keep her by your side," Sasuke said, nodding towards Sakura, "She likes to run into the middle of battles."

"I will," Naruto chuckled, "After all of this is over we will have a proper funeral for her."

Sasuke nodded before he and the others guys took their leave into the fight.

"We should get going," Naruto said as he looked down at Sakura who was clutching his arm tightly, "We should go find Tsunade first, then decide what we are going to do from there on."

Sakura nodded and the two of them began to leave, closing the door behind them and going to opposite way of all the commotion for the safety of Sakura.

Kushina walked through the halls of this strange place and found herself standing in front of two large doors. She knocked on the doors, waiting for a reply to come from the other side of the the doors.

"Come in!" A loud voice shouted, giving Kushina the okay to enter through the doors.

"Minato, it's so nice to see you again."

"What brings you here Kushina?" Minato said not looking up from the papers in his hands. He was still in human form, not finding a way to overcome the situation he was facing.

"The better question is, why are you in human form right now?" She said as she sat down on his desk, playing with one of the paper weights.

"I like it better this way, you don't change out of your human form so don't go judging me." Minato said as he placed he papers neatly on his desk, now lookng up at her. "Now I will ask again, why are you here?"

"I have an offer for you."

"An offer?" Minato said, some what more interested now.

"A plan that will end in you ruling the entire world and me having my son back." Kushina said deviously, knowing that this will get Minato's full attention.

"...I don't trust you Kushina. This plan of yours will, most likely, have me screwed in the end." Minato said, he knew her too well.

"Just listen and if you still think that this plan will not going to benefit you then... I will not bother you after this."

"...I'm listening..."
