Yep, heres the newest chapter of A Village Hidden in Blood, hope you like it. Standard disclaimer applies. Sorry it took so long.
Sakura immediatly knew who it was who walked into the Ichiraku ramen shop. And it wasen't because Naruto screamed out teme.
"Hn, Dobe," was the reply that came from the one and only Uchiha Sasuke. He sat down beside Naruto and ordered a bowl of miso ramen. Sakura was sitting at the other side of the bar; as far away from them as possible.
"Sakura-chan, why are you sitting all the way over there?" Sakura sighed. This was going to be a long day. She could already tell.
"Because I want to," was her curt reply. "Could you stop calling me 'Sakura-chan', you don't even know me."
"Aww, does Saku-chan hate her name?" surprisingly it wasen't Naruto who said this. It was Sasuke. Her only response was silence.
I'm going to kill him, the demon inside her quipped.
Sakuras order arrived about the same time as Sasuke's. She had just enough time to eat before a Jounin showed up summning the three to Tsunade's office.
On the way there, Sasuke kept trying to annoy Sakura while Naruto blathered, (yes that is a word) on and on about ramen and it's different flavors. He seemed to think that it had some sort of medicinal property. Complete bullshit.
Don't these two ever shut up?! screamed an enraged inner.
Obviously not, said the cat demon.
Kinda like you two, came Sakura's voice. SHe recieved yells of 'HEY!' and 'THAT'S NOT TRUE!!' from the other two inhabitants of her body. Sakura smirked inwardly and looked up. They were in front of the Hokage Tower.
They walked in to a very furious and very drunk Tsunade.
"Where the hell have you three been?!" she shouted. Naruto hid behind Sasuke, Sasuke cringed, and sakura stood impassive as ever.
"Shishou, does Shizune know that you were drinking again?" Sakura deadpanned. Tsunade immediatly shut up and composed herself.
"Very well, you three have a mission to gather information the Akatsuki," Sakura looked calm, but inside her mind was whirling. Sasuke clenched his hands and Naruto growled. They all had something to settle with them.
"When do we leave?" Sakura asked.
"Tonight, and I want you to bring your freind with you Sakura," she held up a hand as her ex-student opened her mouth to object. "It's for these tow's safety." Sakura shut her mouth and nodded.
Naruto, being the idiot, had to speak up.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, who is her freind? And why is it to protect me and Sasuke-teme?!" he was visibly steaming. "We can protect ourselves."
Sakura and Tsunade shared a look that showed that they knew something that the boys didn't. Only Sasuke caught it.
"I have my reasons, now go and don't come back to complain to me until this mission is over. Dismissed!" the three shinobi walked calmly out of the room. Well, at least two out of three did.
Sakura ran ahead of them to her trees in the forest. She bit her thumb so her ruby red liquid flowed out. Smearing it on her arm, she quikly performed many complicated hand signs.
A large poof was heard. Smoke covered about an acre of the forest
And through the fog, came a voice...
Yeah, sorry it took me so long to update. I've had a lot to deal with. Please don't hate me for that but I promise that this story will get better. Please R & R, I don't care about flames.
