-Organization-
Everybody was organizing a plan for tomorrow and how they would get to where they supposed Orochimaru's hideout was…except for the girls, obviously.
They were just doing what you would be expecting them to be doing…chasing butterflies, giggling at nothing in particular, and looking forward to going back to Texas. (as Naruto wondered, "Where's Texas?")
Here is a basic list for all the people that were coming on the trip.
Naruto,
Sakura,
Sai,
Shikamaru,
Ino,
Chouji,
Gaara,
Temari,
Kankuro,
Neji,
Tenten,
Rock Lee.
Mug,
Chicken,
And Kiki.
A lot of people, right? But they were all very vital to the success of the mission, well, actually, except for the girls. Wait a sec, you didn't read the part where the three girls were being introduced to the Sand Team…here it is!
-Before, Being Introduced to the Sand Team-
Chicken screamed as she looked at a black jacketed pointy eared makeup wearing boy.
"Ooh, a kitty wearing makeup!" she yelped cheerfully, "And look," she squealed in delight. "It has a puppet!"
Kankuro, fortunately for them, was listening to his loudly tuned iPod Nano.
(inspired by an AMV) "What's his name?" Kiki asked the girl beside him curiously.
The blond spiky haired girl and with the giant fan frowned slightly. "Oh, him? His name is Kankuro, and, as for me, I'm Temari. Mind you, he isn't an interesting person to be around with. He listens to that iPod of his twenty four-seven. But during battles, he's mighty strong. A good person to be friends with."
Mug, who was looking at the other red haired boy, giggled. "Haha. You have weird hair…IT"S ALIVE!" She poked the red haired boy's hair rudely.
Then something struck her.
"What's your name, why don't you have eyebrows, why do you have black makeup all over your eyes, and why do you have the love sign on your head?"
The red haired boy just looked at her.
Mug was looking at Temari's fan. She turned around, and squinted at Gaara.
"Do I know you?" she asked.
"…" (Gaara had the look of murderous intent on his face)
Mug left Gaara looking EXTREMELY dangerous.
-Stocking Up -
Naruto packed lots of cups of ramen into his blue backpack, grinning slightly to himself. He had never gone hungry on ANY missions, and this was NOT about to be his first.
As he zipped up his backpack, he noticed something shining and silver lying on his bed.
Oh. He had almost forgotten one of the most important things.
He unzipped the blue backpack and put the slashed headband into his backpack.
This wasn't a regular D-rank mission…
-Godaime's Room -
Two Anbu were having a meeting with Tsunade.
"You've found the hideout location of Orochimaru…? That's good. Thank you. Dismissed."
Tsunade wrapped the scroll that showed Orochimaru's lair into her pocket. Alright.
It was time.
-Worries-
Everyone was arriving at 7:00 in the morning. Luckily, they set the time to three, so even the girls got there at the correct time…for once. All of them set off, and as Sakura was about to follow all of them, Tsunade stopped her. "Sakura…you cannot let your feelings take over this mission. Do you hear me?"
Sakura nodded. "Alright."
"Then you may go."
Sakura departed, but at that moment both of them knew that Sakura was the worst liar in the world.
-Knocked Out-
"Marco!" screamed Kiki, hiding in the trees.
"POLO!" yelled Mug, giggling.
Naruto winced. He could still not understand why they had to come along. They were most likely going to mess up the mission.
Suddenly, something sharp stung him on the neck, and he fell to the ground, before saying,"Sakura-chan tebayo!"
Sakura whirled around. She looked at his neck, and took out what she noticed seemed to be a tranquilizer dart. She, then, felt something sting her neck, and was out in a second.
All the ninjas were knocked out so far….except…well you know who.
