MS: Hey everyone, MS here! Hey, I'm back! Sorry for the long wait. I'll admit it, I've been lazy. But I also have to say my life's been through quite a few ups and downs throughout the years I was absent from this story. But don't worry, I'm back, and I'm going to try and finish this story……(sighs) Great….now I have 3 stories that are demanded by the people for me to continue. Also, since I'm kind of busy, what with the stories, my school life, and a bunch of other stuff that I won't get into, Neko Luna-chan was nice enough to offer help with this story. YOU ROCK DUDETTE!

(If you want to know, the 3 stories are this, Summoning of Spartans, and Penguins of Madagascar: Maverick's Story)

(other note: I'm sorry, but I won't really continue to do the Jiraiya-bashing running gag anymore. It's gotten old over the years, and I really don't feel like doing it. If you guys want another running gag, just let me know!)

Sora was seen walking towards the office of the Village's hokage. He himself was curious about what was going on, but he decided to wait until he got there to see what the matter was. His curiosity started from when Mrs. Haruno received a phonecall.

(about 5 hours ago)

Sora and Sakura were seen walking down a long hallway, conversing.

"And then you just have to use a good spell, and take them out."

"Wow! Sounds kind of difficult. But then again, I can't doubt you about this kind of stuff, huh?"

"Yeah, but there was this one time where using magic was really important to the point of trying not to get killed instantly. You see, me and my friends were at this clock tower, an-"

"Ah-huh…I see. Yes, Sandaime, I will send him right over."

Mitsumi hung up the phone just as her daughter and Sora walked up to her. "Hey Mom, what's up?" Sakura asked.

"I just got a call from the Sandaime. It seems that he wants to see Sora."

"Me?" Sora asked, pointing to himself.

"Yes you. Do you see any other Sora's? Now hurry up and leave. The Sandaime doesn't need to be kept waiting." With that, Sora rushed out the door. Sakura was just a few feet behind him when she felt her mother's hand placed on her should.

"And where do you think you're going, young lady?"

"Uh….to see the Sandaime?"

"No you are not. I know how much you want to spend time with your boyfriend, but I need you to help with the house." With that, Mitsumi turned around and went to the family room, followed by Sakura.

"For the last time, mom, Sora's not my boyfriend. We're just good friends."

"Oh, really?" Mitsumi turned to her daughter with a questionable glance. "How good?"

"Well, we were on a mission together a few last time he was here." Mitsumi didn't cast away her questionable look, but continued on to give her daughter her assigned chores.

(Present Time)

As Sora was pondering his last memories before he left, he finally came to the door. Without hesitancy, he knocked on the door. "Come in," is what he heard. Sora then opened the door to see the same scene as last time; the Sandaime working with huge piles of paperwork. It took the Sandaime a minute or two before he figured out that the door was open. "Oh, uh, Sora. Please come in," he said with a nervous laugh. "I apologize for the wait for me to notice. Paperwork can really take your attention away after a few hours." Sora nodded in a friendly manner as the two shared a light laughter. As soon as Sora stopped, he asked, "Sandaime, did you need to see me for something?"

At that question, the Sandaime's smile left his face as he then quickly looked through a drawer in his desk. "Yes, actually. You see, we recently got a C-ranked mission involving with guarding an important client." (no, it's not the Wave mission) Sora looked with a puzzled expression as Sandaime pulled the papers out. "Well, what's so weird about that?" He asked. Sandaime gave him a look in between scanning over the information on the papers. "Tell me this; You have been to many places in your travels, correct?"

Sora recalled all of the different worlds he has been to prior to Konoha. "Yeah, you could say that." He said as he put his hand behind his head. Sarutobi nodded a bit while he was deep in thought. "You see, the problem is that your client, well, we have run background records on him, and have come up with nothing. This is unusual for a client with an agenda like his. What's even stranger that it's only one word, and still nothing comes up." He then turned to Sora from the papers. "So I was wondering that maybe, just maybe, you have heard of him from your travels. Keep in mind that we just want to be careful of who we are working for."

Sora nodded in understanding of the concern. "Alright then, who is it?" Sandaime sat back in his chair. "Yes, about his name. According to this, his name is…Ansem."

(elsewhere)

Two c figures were seen on top of a cliff, just outside of Konoha. Both were wearing black cloaks with red cloud designs, and straw hats. One had a sword, wrapped in cloth, slung over his back. The other seemingly has nothing to distinguish themselves from the other. "I don't get it. Why are we out here, Itachi?" The one with the sword asked. The other went closer to the edge and knelt down, scanning the gates. "I have told you before, Kisame; we are to keep lookout for the intended targets."

The sword wielding figure, known as Kisame, sighed. "I know, I know. It's just that, why couldn't they assign a grunt or someone to do this? We could be out doing other missions, involving killing our targets. Oh, how long its been since I've had such a mission." He said. "I know, my friend. Maybe after this assignment, we'll get lucky. Also, you know we've been having a shortage of troops as of late. We can't afford to send troops that are likely to be caught into enemy territory." He said.

Kisame scoffed as he looked at the gates. "What about that whole, 'Alliance' thing we have with the guys in the black raincoats? I'm sure they can spare a few troops."

"Every aspect of a plan has its reasons, Kisame. From what I can tell, there is an individual there that can spot the troops our allies. Now wait." They wait for what seemed like forever, until finally the gates started opening again. Though it was hard to see, the two could make out 5 shapes. One was orange with yellow hair, another blue and white with black hair, the other red with pink hair, the next blue and green with silver hair, and the final black with brown hair. "There's our targets. Let's head back and tell Leader that they're following what we planned." With that, they both disappeared in a cloud of smoke, with intentions unknown.

Well, how was that? Yeah, hopefully not too bad for being on a 2 year hiatus. Also, I have to Neko Luna-chan for the long wait. I've been going through a lot of work over here. Don't worry, though, it's taken care of…for the moment. Hopefully I can have more free time when summer kicks in. After all, I'm in my last full week of school. Oh, and I forgot to mention, Kingdom hearts and Naruto don't belong to me. They belong to Square Enix and Disney, and Masashi Kishimoto respectively. C'ya!
