A/N: Hey my peeps!
How's it hanging?
So for me, I'm currently a little busy, and I've been thinking of making the funny parts even funnier! Should I give the other teams more screen time or focus mostly on the main team?
Hmm... Help me decide everyone!
I really hope to hit 20 reviews... That's my target for now!

So here's Chapter 10, She's alive.

"I really don't know..." The woman said.
Naruto groaned in annoyance, "So what? How am I supposed to know if she's dead or alive? What does she mean by, 'we could've had if you saved me'? Does it mean she's already gone? Damn I'm so confused!"

He gripped his blonde hair, threatening to rip it out of his skull.
The woman placed her hand on his shoulder, making him calm down, "My dear, let me tell you this. What you saw. It wasn't her. It was what your mind had imagined her to be. It's what you remember her to be."

"But I don't remember her to be totally horny and seductive! Not that I don't want her to be like that next time BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!"

"I don't know about that, my boy. Usually, pain or a sudden drop snaps you out of your fantasy, you know, like a dream, but for you... It almost seems like... There was something else in there... Trying to fight to tell you that what you were seeing wasn't real..."

The blonde's hands flopped back down to his sides.

"You know..." The woman patted him on the shoulder and smiled broadly, "This means... You have a strong will power. You're strong mentally."

"There was something fighting in you to show you that, that wasn't the one you loved, because that person was actually... Just a real shade of the real her, am I right?"

Naruto could only nod sadly.

"She was the best you could do... But you can't actually imagine someone, detail for detail now can you? With all their perfection, all their flaws, her complexion..."

.

.

.

.

.

"That was what you could remember of her..."
"But I still don't understand! Why would she be so different?" Naruto said, pushing the woman's hand off his shoulder, "Why? Why?"

"I really don't know, so asking me that won't let you gain anything!" The woman said before flicking him in the forehead, earning an "Ouch" from him.

"You came back to reality knowing that, that was not her, and that goes to show you that you can differentiate life from fantasy. Everything feels so real... Yet... As you go deeper and deeper into those lies, you know that life there is just too good to be real, isn't it?"

They both stood in the field, the wind blowing across the beds of wheat, causing them to move like a wave...

"You don't give up now... Naruto Uzumaki..." She smiled, giving him a thumbs up.

"You fight till the very end! You and your team better go find her! Don't leave any stone unturned!"

Naruto felt as if his mood had been raised, as if he had been filled with a new hope, "Alright!"

"Guys... YOU CAN COME OUT FROM BEHIND THAT TREE. I CAN SEE AKAMARU'S TAIL." Naruto shrieked, causing Sakura, Kiba, Akamaru and...
"SAI? You too?"

"Hehehehehehe. I'm sorry Naruto. Sakura- oomph"

Sakura had punched him in the chest, "I did no such thing!" She lied.

"-growl- Anyway, thank you so much miss." Naruto laughed.

"Heh I'm getting pretty irritated by that. My name is Kokoru Isabu. Come stop by this village anytime alright?"
"Sure!" The team yelled in unison.

"Well, you kids better get going! I'm sorry for holding you back, and I can see that you guys want to find your teammate-"

Her eyes shifted to Naruto who suddenly felt like he was being pedoed, "And girlfriend." She winked.
If you noticed, Kiba was already trembling with jealousy.

Sai noticed this and asked him, "Hey Kiba? Did you just jizz in your pants?"

Kiba turned to him with a constipated look, "Yes Sai- WAIT I MEAN NO. I DID NOT JUST..."

He turned to everyone who was now staring at him.

"Honey, do you need to go to the bathroom? Sorry but the nearest bush is there."
"NOOO!" Kiba screamed.

"Well thank you miss! We'll come visit you some time!" Sakura laughed.
"Alright, goodbye!" Kokoru walked with her fruit basket in hand, while she walked back in the direction of the village, "OH AND NARUTO?"

Naruto turned back to see her all the way at the start of the path, "YEAH?"

"INVITE ME TO YOUR WEDDING OR I'LL MAKE SURE YOU WON'T EVER GET A WOMAN PREGNANT!"

He blushed heavily, hearing giggles from Sakura and Sai.
Kiba was yet again sizzling with a new found jealousy he couldn't explain.

'Damn...why am I... Why am I angry?'

"Gulp... She'll...cut off my... gulp..."
"Hey Naruto Baka! You better invite me too! If not I'm cutting off your other one!" Sakura winked.
Naruto just stayed silent, not sure what to say.

"Did you just jizz in your pants, Naruto?" Sai asked innocently.

"NO." Naruto screamed before storming off with his orange backpack.
Kiba got on Akamaru as the team moved on with their search.

-Time ship- 10.30pm-

"I've already contacted the other teams; they said they'll keep on looking. No success so far..." Sakura sighed, wishing to find her old friend.

"Hopefully we'll be the ones that find her first!" Naruto yelled back with determination, "Because I know we'll find her!"

The pinkette laughed and smiled at him.
She always found him to be a complete idiot. Yeah he would never stop being one, but he had a heart. He had a heart, and now, I guess you could say, she felt kind of sad now that his heart belonged completely to another woman.

She was proud of him. After all those years of not realizing the shy konoichi, he had finally realized his own feelings for her. Sakura had honestly felt glad to be just a sister to him, but she felt a sense of loss too-He wouldn't bug her anymore about dates.

She started to sniffle a little at the thought of that, and how his irritating face and pleading would earn a punch to the face.
His teammate was glad that he could finally see, that what he had for her wasn't romantic love, but more of that to a brotherly love.

It was getting late, and the team knew that they had to stop for now.
"Okay lady and gentlemen, I think we should stop here for today. This seems like a nice spot to set up camp." Kiba said laughing, taking a bow as if he were at a formal occasion.

"Haha very funny Kiba. Go fetch us some wine now will you?" Sakura said, causing Kiba to growl with ignorance.

Man he couldn't stand her sometimes...

The guys...and girl...and dog took out their sleeping bags, well Akamaru has a sleeping bag too! And he is an independent dog!
They placed their mats neatly in a row on the flat ground.
"-Yawn-... I really need to get my rest! Tomorrow, we start our wonderful search again yes?" Kiba said, stretching his arms out and yawning.

"Yes, we will have our energy this way." Sai smiled a smile that was so fake.

"Okay, goodnight everyone!" The blonde said.
"Goodnight Naruto baka, Kiba, Sai."

"Goodnight Naruto, SAKURA... –slap- OWWWW. Sheesh. Sai."

"Goodnight Naruto-chan, Sakura-kun and Kiba-san."

"EWWWWW." Whined Naruto, Sakura and Kiba, all turning over to look at the pale ninja, before they fell into a deep slumber beneath the comfort of the stars, both Naruto and this time, Kiba as well, both dreaming of their favourite missing beautiful lady...

For the next few days, the team spent their time going through harsh terrains such as jungles, rocky rocks (hehehe), large rocks, small rocks, huge rivers, crazy large cats and forests.

For team Shikamaru, they spent their time trying their best to get information, he always being the one voted to go in the worst of places like pubs, clubs, night clubs, and even worse...

Neji had been bumping into a lot of flirtatious women, all being scared away by the vicious Ten ten who didn't let anyone go beyond their limits.

"What do you know, about her?" The spiky-haired boy asked seriously.

"OHHHH I don't know hot shot!" The woman screamed, her drunk breath making Shikamaru sick.

"Ehehehe. Alright then, fine. Jeez this place is a total waste of time..."

He was tired of trying to get information out of drunk idiots who had nothing better to do than spend their times becoming sluts at clubs. That woman looked like she was forty-five! Come on!

"You talking about Hinata Hyuga from the hidden leaf?"

Shikamaru's POV

As soon as I heard someone say that, I knew that she was on to something.
I turned around, only to see a young woman, probably in her late twenties, walking over to me in her disgusting, revealing, red stripper clothes.

Great, of all the people...

"Yeah, what do you know of her?"
"Well... I'm willing to tell you what I know honey, if you let me kiss you."
I could heard Ino screaming, "No shika! Kill that b*tch! What a slut!"

I had to turn off my communicator now that I wanted information.

Switching it off, I looked at the woman in disgust.
She wasn't pretty at all, and maybe it was because she looked like she just got rammed. Damn these sick retards. Don't think they're going to get under any of my clothing!

Okay. She wanted a kiss in return for information... Damn... I hated this, but I had to do my mission, and if this meant I would get clues, I had to do it, "Fine woman..."

She laughed with her sick twisted voice and pulled my sleeves, moving closer and closer to my mouth, "I'll be sure to kiss you better than any woman has!"
Damn it, I really, REALLY didn't want to kiss this woman, and no, I have not kissed a girl before, and this THING, was not going to be my first, that was one thing for sure.
I had to think of something... Oh yes!

On my table, were a pair of floppy prawns I ordered!
I grabbed the prawns with my left hand and quickly slammed it into her lips.

Good thing this woman kept her eyes closed, and that she was a complete idiot.
She started making these squirmy sick noises and started to attack the prawns with her lips sucking them in, so I had to pull them out by the tails.
Oh goodness gracious, what on earth did I do to deserve this?

All I wanted was a normal life, with a wife. Not too ugly, not too pretty. We would have maybe 2 kids, one girl and one boy, get a house in the country side with open air, and watch the clouds all day. Instead I end up in a bar, forcing my prawns onto a slut.

"Ohh you're so tasty..."

Eww. Shut up woman!

Finally she broke away, panting with sweat rolling down her cheeks. She let go of my sleeve and stumbled back a little. I had to get rid of the prawns... I sure pitied them. Good thing they were dead. I quickly threw them behind me, not knowing where they landed.
I turned my head around slightly.

Hehehehe they landed in a man's drink. Man did I have a good aim or what?

"Ohh... that was so great... Another one!" She was preparing to dive back in when I grabbed her shoulders and forced her back, "Tell me, what you know, about Hinata."

She laughed maniacally again. Damn her, "Mmmmm. You're dominative... Me likey..."
I was getting tired of her games. I didn't just SMOSH my two prawns into her lips for nothing!

"But... sorry hun, you have to give me more. My information seems extremely important to you, so let's keep it that way."

She was an idiot.

"Tell me and... I'll give you..."
Damn I can't believe I was saying this, but I knew I had to speak her language.
"I'll give you the best night of your life."

Her eyes sparkled with lust. Disgusting.

"Alright, alright! Well... My husband told me about seeing a bunch of ninja at the volcano a year ago, and I think they were trying to stop it? Well anyway... –cough- And anyway, he told me that he had bumped into that mad girl, Hinata Hyuga that time. Well recently, he bumped into her again. My husband is a shop owner, who sells takeaway food, so yeah... why wouldn't she stop by there? Hehe"

My eyes widened.
Hinata... stopped by his shop?

"How long ago was this?"

"Ohh... oh not too long ago honey... –burp- maybe a few weeks ago...?"

I couldn't believe it...
Hinata was alive... She survived... She's alive!

"Does your husband know anything else?"

"Oh no he doesn't... I asked him if he was cheating on mehh with the gurl, but he only said that was the only time he bumped into her..."

"And he's sure that, that was Hinata Hyuga?"

"Hmm... Of the Hyuga clan, has long blackish hair... Has these pearly white eyes... Yeah. You hardly see women like that here. Her skin was totally flawless. Just hearing my hubby say that, made me want to rip her skin right off of her-"

"Did she say where she was going? Where is she now?"

"Err noooo I don't think so. So let's get back to-"

I cut her off again, "Where's your husband's shop?"

She had that blur look on her face, like she could faint any moment, "Err... On the other side of the village... The name's Raimune Ikiga."

Okay, that was all the information I needed from this woman. I am out of here!
I couldn't wait to break the news to everyone.
Especially Naruto...
He would finally smile like he did a year ago...

I got out of my chair, and made a run for the door.
"Wait handsome! Where are you going?"

I smirked, "Out of here. Yeah. I lied."

You could practically see her starting to get really red, "You cheater!"

"Hmph, and I guess you're not right? I mean after all..."

The look on her face was priceless.

"You are Mrs Ikiga." With my final words, I left the bar, only to walk out to come face to face with a fuming Ino, "SHIKA! You turned off your communicator! What did that slut do?"

I had no time for arguing.
I switched my communicator back on, "Hello, Neji, Sakura, Naruto, guys, do you read me?"

Back with the main team

"Oh Hinata... yes... yes... oh baby that feels so good..."
"Eek Naru-kun... you're so strong and dominative... Ahhh you're so cool!"
"I know right hime... But I'm only doing this for you..."
"Oh Naruto-kun... I love you so much!"
"Me too baby! Come on! Ahh yes! Yes! YES!"
"AHHHH!"
Unbeknown to Naruto, his actions and jerks were all visible to his comrades.

"NARUTO!"
The blonde immediately woke up, "I'm up I'm up!"

"Stop dreaming of that perverted porn with Hinata, Naruto baka!" Sakura screamed.

"Yes Naruto, you really shouldn't dream of having sex with Hinata. What if she isn't ready for you yet? What if she rejects you when you take a step too far? What if she-"

"Sai. Shush it. Shikamaru's on the line" Kiba said, blushing.
'Man... Why didn't I dream of that?'

Sakura, Kiba and Sai were all up and listening to their communicators, while Naruto was desperately trying to suppress his blush.

"What's going on Shikamaru? What news do you have?" Sakura said formally.

"You aren't going to believe this... But I just went into a bar, and a woman told me that Hinata Hyuga had just bumped into her husband's shop a few weeks ago! I repeat! Hinata Hyuga, had just bumped into her husband's shop a few weeks ago!"
Shikamaru sure sounded ecstatic.

The frown on Kiba and Sakura's face were turned upside down as Sakura gripped her communicator, "You aren't serious!"
Kiba laughed with happy tears threatening to fall, "No way..."

"What is it guys?" Naruto whined.
IGNORED.

"How do you know she's telling the truth?" Sakura stated.
Ino: Yeah shika?
Shikamaru:Well she could even describe Hinata's looks without me showing her any picture! Apparently Hinata had stopped by to grab some lunch! Right now, we are going over to her husband's place to get more clues!

Sakura smiled happily, "You're serious?"
Naruto:WHAT'S GOING ON?

Neji: I'm... I'm so happy...
Shikamaru: She said that Hinata had pearly eyes, and long black hair. She said she was unlike all the women around here!
Chouji: Well that's true! All the women here are totally tanned!
Sakura couldn't help but start to shed tiny tears of joy, "Alright...Shikamaru... We're out... Let us know if anything happens... Sakura out."

And everyone went out.

Kiba and Sakura had looks of happiness on their face, while Kiba was just crying and holding on to Akamaru going, "Yes... Yes..."

"Will someone tell me what the heck is going on? Why is Kiba crying into Akamaru? Why are you so happy Sakura?" Naruto screamed like a child, waiting impatiently for his teammate or someone to answer him. Man, even Sai looked happy! Sincerely happy, for once!

Sakura rubbed her eyes a little and smiled, "Naruto..."

.

.

"Yeah?"

.

.

.
"Hinata...She's alive..." Sakura smiled.

A/N: Yes that's the end for now!

Shikamaru: You made me fake kiss that woman. What a slut.

Me: Well, too bad Shika!

Shikamaru: -growl-

Kiba starts jumping for joy and crying: Hinata's alive! Hinata's alive!

Sakura: I must say... I'm so happy...

Ino: VICTORY!

Pein: Hey kids.

Kiba: GET OUT OF HERE YOU'RE RUINING THIS PRECIOUS MOMENT.

Pein: Fine. Sheesh. I'm getting ice cream on the way out.

Me: Err yeah... you...have fun with that...

Naruto: -cries- I'm... I'm so happy... I'm really...really so happy... Oh my gosh... Oh my gosh... I can't believe it... Yes... Oh my gosh... –sniff sniff-

Lee: There, there Naruto, does someone need a manly hug?

Naruto: I think... Yeah... –sob sob- YES I DO...

Lee: Yes, now you can continue your search for the young beauty, knowing that her youth still burns!

Naruto: -sob sob- yes... –sob- yes...

Lee: That's right, can you feel her Naruto? Her will of fire? It's in you!

Naruto: -sob sob- yes Lee! I CAN FEEL HER!

Sakura: Ewww! That sounds wrong!

Neji: I'm so happy as well... My cousin is alive...

Ten ten: :)

Pein: I'm back. I've got Belgium chocolate and strawberry and-

Everyone: GET OUT OF HERE.

Pein: Sheesh. When you guys get hungry in here, don't blame me.

Tsunade:Hey wait wait, do you have vanilla?

Pein: Yes, yes I do.

Tsunade: One vanilla please.

Pein: That will cost you 6 dollars.

Everyone: WHAT? IT'S ONLY ONE SCOOP.

Pein: Hey I had to carry it here you know? Service charge!

Tsunade: Ahh nevermind...

Well stay tuned!
Hope you liked the extra!
