AN: Sorry for taking so long to update, I've been reading the Twilight trilogy by Stephanie Meyer. Very, very good...
Tenten leaned nonchalantly against a tree, twirling a kunai around her index finger, and every so often tossing it into the air.
Four members besides Tenten had turned up so far, and now they were waiting on Naruto.
Naruto's apologies could be heard before the orange-clad ninja could be seen.
"Gomen! Gomen I'm late dattebayo!" Naruto crested the hill they were atop, and rushed to join his team mates.
Sasuke sighed in irritation. "Right, now the dobe is here I can begin the briefing. We'll travel through the forest, heading north towards Tea Country. We'll be staying at a hotel not too far from the daiymo's residence. the two couples will collect information, and Hyuuga-san and I will scout out the documents."
Tenten blinked. "That was a short briefing."
Sasuke glared.
"Ano - H-how do we get the information?" Hinata's soft voice came.
"You will visit different tourist attractions in the town, talk to people, see if they know anything. You must not blow your cover though. None of you must be ninja like in any way shape or form."
Hinata nodded.
"Any more questions?" Sasuke asked. "No? Okay then, lets go."
Night had fallen about three hours ago, Tenten estimated it to be around eleven pm. Neji had maintained a stony silence since the briefing, and any attempts she had made to draw him into conversation had been shot down with a brief "Hn". Tenten had resorted to talking with Kiba and Naruto. They had now set up camp and the three companions had been sent to collect water.
"So you like her?" Kiba asked skeptically.
"Uh...yeah...uh...I mean no...uh I...well..." Naruto stuttered and seemed to become extremely uncomfortable.
Tenten shook her head. Guys were useless with 'feelings and stuff' as Kiba had put it earlier. It had been obvious to most of the population that Hinata had a crush on Naruto, dating back to the academy days.
Kiba raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, fine , I admit it" Naruto cheeks burned. " I like Hyuuga Hinata. Happy now?"
Tenten grinned. Hinata would be elated when she found out. No matter how much she denied her crush on Naruto, it was obvious she adored him.
Okay I'm so sorry I didn't update for ages, please forgive me XD Sorry for the shortness as well, I don't have much time to write but I promise I'll write in all my spare moments. Please read & review and I'll update faster.
Ja ne!
