Sasuke continued to stare at the direction where Atsuiko once again left him to his own mind set. Hearing shuffling of clothes, the raven turned his attention to his partner. Seeing a set frown on his features and hands in a tight fist.

"What's wrong with you Hyuuga?"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Neji, when the older male turned his head into his direction and glared once again at him before stocking off to go somewhere.

"Where are you going."

Annoyance was beginning to lace with the ex-avenger's voice, but the older Hyuuga also paid him no mind and continued on his way walking out in the rain.

"Damn it, Hyuuga! I asked you where your going!"

"Where I go is none of your business."

"That would be an understatement. Because we need to figure this out before we have another Atlantis on our hands here Hyuuga."

Sasuke cursed at himself mentally, he had never talked this much. He had a reputation to hold up you know! Annoyed he crossed his arms over his chest and scowled at Neji, who was in the pouring rain without a care in the world and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Either you sit on your brain all day or your just plain stupid."

"If I was stupid, then how come my ass didn't get caught from a kid."

"At least I would stoop to the level of getting mocked by a mere child Uchiha!"

The older boy snipped. Sasuke couldn't help but made his way towards Neji and punched him right in the face without a second thought.

'what is up with today! First a snot-nosed kid is sending my on a wild goose chase, and making me cling to false hope of knowing that she has information on Naruto. Then I get stuck with a prissy ass Hyu-'

Sasuke was cut off from his musing when a solid right straight punch landed in his face making him hit the tree that held the swing, sliding down it's bark. Oh, it was so on! Swiping a hand across his mouth, Sasuke stood up and activated his Sharingan, he began to reach for his holster to grab a weapon to fight with, but he halted his movement's when Neji with a hand on his hip and a smirk on his lip, with a hand held out towards him.

"Now. We're even."

"Hn."

The ever famous Uchiha smirk was back in place as he took the offered hand, with a slight tug Neji brought Sasuke back to his feet, dropping both of their arms, Sasuke's emotionless mask was back in place as well as Neji's.

"What do you suggest that we do now?" Sasuke asked in a monotone voice, he crossed arms over his chest and gazed back out to the distance that was being smothered by the rain "we have no idea where this riddle will lead us."

Smirking Neji shook his head slightly and walked out back into the pouring rain, causing to make Sasuke once again raise an eyebrow at him questioning. Sighing Neji turned back towards Sasuke.

"Think about Uchiha. What did the riddle say?"

"Fate, destiny, that's all that seems to matter to people, but to me I think it's just an obstacle in which you can change on your own. Here I gave you my word to free you from your cage and I always keep my promises." he mumbled "why?"

"Wow, Naruto's disappearance must of took it's toll on you. Do you remember the day of the chunnin exams when you and the rookie nine were 12 and my team were 13?" Neji questioned and received a nod from the Uchiha.

"How about my fight with Naruto?" another nod from the silent Uchiha, face palming himself Neji frowned at Sasuke.

"Our next destination is the arena Uchiha. Because that day so many years ago I got my ass handed to me by Naruto and he made me a promise."

Groaning, Sasuke mentally kicked himself and brought a hand to his face as he grumbled to himself along the lines of 'of course! How can i be that stupid!'. Smirk back in place and soaking wet, Neji turned away from the fuming Uchiha, and sped of in the direction of the arena.

"If you don't hurry up. I'm going to leave you behind Uchiha." with that being said, Sasuke shooked his head and smirked, without further interruption he sped off and trailed after the older male.

'It's so warm, why is it warm?...whatever the case I don't care and I don't want to wake up.'

"...de"

'De? Who the hell is de? I know for a fact that it ain't me. So whoever you are, shut up.'

"...nade"

'Oh gosh will you please shut the hell up! I'm trying to sleep here!'

"Damn it Tsunade! I know your awake, so get the fuck up you old hag!"

'Oh that does it...'

"Will you Shut that damn mouth of yours or I'm going to shut it for you!"

Tsunade screamed as she awoke from her slumber, with an angry twitch in her left eye. She sat up with a start causing the people around her to jump back a little. Blinking owlishly, Tsunade had to do a double take of her surrounding's. Tree's, plant's, a lake, she was in the middle of a forest. Why was she in a meadow? Tsunade started to feel the panic start to raise in her and she started to hyperventilate, tears started to collect in her eye's.

"Hey, there's no need for tear's now, Tsunade."

looking in the direction of the source of where the voice came from, Tsunade's eye's grew wide with every passing second as she stared at the one person who made her become Hokage in the first place. The said person gave her the same fox-like grin as her blonde, as he sat in front of her.

"Long time no see, Tsunade."

Tsunade could tell that he had grown, he must have been at least six feet. His hair bright as ever and still messy, eye's the same impossible they were all those years ago. He seemed more wise now, and he had an air of superiority around him. But for some reason her eye's couldn't focus and the person's image began to get blurry and she started to shake. On instinct, Tsunade did the first thing that came to her mind, she lunged herself at the person, encircling her arms around the person's waist, hiding her face in the said person's chest, she broke out in a sob.

"If this is a dream...please don't wake me up..." she said in a hushed tone as her grip got tighter. Chuckling slightly, the person brought their arms up and wrapped them around the trembling older woman.

"I assure you, this isn't a dream. I'm actually here." pulling back slightly the person gave Tsunade a bright smile as they looked down on her, a smile that she's been longing to see "I missed you...Grandma Tsunade."

Nodding her head furiously as the tear's began to fall like water fall's, she released an arm that was around the person's waist and began to rub her face, trying to get rid of the tear's but fail in doing so. Letting a watery smile come to he face and a wet laugh pass her lip's and finally words came out, but her voice was shaky, but in all she manged to say.

"I-i missed you so m-much...Naruto."

ºººº

Sasuke and Neji made it to the arena drenched with water, they cautiously made their way in. They had to apply chakra to their feet now and stand on top of the water, the water level's had risen greatly now it's was at least up to their waist and gaining level quickly. They emerged out from the tunnel's like they did all those years ago, and stood in the middle of the ring.

"Woah! That's a new record, it only took you two thirty minutes to get here, while it took Sasuke three hours and thirty minutes to figure out the first one!" both males head snapped up in the direction of the holding area they were once held in before, and their eye's landed on Atsuiko who was leaning forward against the rail, with a surprised smile on her face and excitement in her eye's "Now I can give you your finally partner and riddle!"

She announced as she began to draw the kanji symbol for scythe in the air, with each stroke she made flames took her finger's place.

"Wait." Neji called out to the fiery girl, she nodded her head in acknowledgment silently telling him that she was listening. "When we finish and beat you in your own game. You are going to tell us where Hinata and Naruto is, correct?"

"Do I look like a person who would stab you in the back?" to this question she got a hesitant shake of their heads saying no "Well then there's your answer, now I give you your finally partner!" she beamed as she lightly blew on the finished kanji symbol, and once again with the snap of her finger's the symbol shot straight towards the male' feet and it went up in flames.

"Why must everything be so confusing one way or another I can't figure out the answer. But for some reason being in a high place doesn't seem so scarey in fact, it makes things so much clearer. Now it's 4:00 so that leaves you guys with an hour left. And if you don't figure out the riddle then say hello to another city lost to water. Bye-bye!" Atsuiko giggled out as she walked further into the holding area, as the flames died down, they shot back to Atsuiko, wrapping around her and both vanished. In it's place was none other than the Kazekage herself, Temari.


Oh my gosh! Naruto's back! And that means one more answer to figure out before Sasuke, Neji and Temari get the answer's that they are desperately seeking! I wonder where this riddle leads them to! Until next time guy's!

Reviews are nice!
