Ino's Pov:

Wow, I can't believe I'm going on a mission! Eeeekkk, I'm so excited. But I don't get how Tsunade-Sama wants me to go on the mission with them. I was more closer to Sasuke? Was I? I didn't even notice that.

Ino packed clothes, weapons, and scrolls in her messenger bag. She also brings her healing pouch just in case if someone gets hurt on the mission. When she was finished, she left.

When she got there, she saw everyone there.

"Hi, I'm Captain Yamanto and I will be replacing Kakashi Sensei." Captain Yamanto said.

Naruto smiled, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki."

"I'm Sakura Haruno."

"I'm Ino Yamanka."

Everyone turned to Sai. They were accepting him to introduce himself, but he didn't say anything. Sakura elbowed him. "Idiot, say your name!"

"Oh right! Sai!" Sai said.

"Okay… umm… nice to meet you all." Captain Yamanto said. "Let's go, shall we?" Captain Yamanto lead the way.

"I don't get why we have to do this mission." Sai said with a serious tone. Naruto stopped and that made everyone stopped. "What did I say something bad?" He asked.

Naruto turned to Sai, "Sai, shut up!" Sakura and Ino gasped.

"This is troublesome. Who's this "Sasuke," that everyone is talking about? Why do you want him so bad?" Sai questioned. Ino looked down. Just then, Naruto punched Sai in the left side of his cheek. He fell down.

"Naruto, that's enough!" Sakura said. She ran up to Sai and held out her hand. When he reached for it, Sakura threw a punch on Sai too. "Don't ever talk about Sasuke, if you don't know him!" She walked back to Naruto. They started to walk again.

Captain Yamanto stopped to talk. "Since you guys are all fighting, I should take you to the Hot Springs just to cool off. My treat!" He said.

Yay, a hot spring! I didn't been in one since a long time.

They walked to where the Hot Spring is. Sai walked up to Ino.

"I decided to walk with you since your friends are mad at me." Sai faked a smile. Ino was spacing out; she didn't really know what Sai is telling her.

"Umm… hello?" Sai said.

"Oh, Sai! I'm sorry; I was just thinking." Ino said smiling.

"What are you thinking?" He asked.

"Oh its nothing."

"Are you a part of Team Kakashi?" Sai asked.

Ino laughed, "No, I'm just here because Tsunade-Sama thinks I'm closer to Sasuke and she thought I would be happy to see him again."

"Well, are you excited to see him?"

"Hell yeah!" She said. "I love-…" She looked down. She didn't know if she loves him or not.

"You love him?" Sai questioned.

"I don't know. He's a criminal now, and I didn't see him for 3 years. I just want him back."

"Does he love you?"

"I hope he still does." Ino replied.

Wait that's right! I don't know if he still loves me. What if he stops and moved on. What if he found another girl?

"Hello, Gorgeous? You're spacing out again."

Ino laughed, "Sorry. You have to get use to me spacing out." They were here. They rent 2 rooms. One for the girls and one for the boys. The boys went to their boy's side and the girls went to the girl's side.

Ino took her towel off and she went in to the water. "Aaaahh, this feels so good." Ino smiled.

Sakura did the same and went in to the water. She said the same thing what Ino said. They were talking about their team and girls stuff.

Back with the boys:

Naruto was smirking. He was planning on peeping on Sakura. He went to the wooden wall that is covering the girl's side, but Captain Yamanto stops him.

"You know, Jirayia told me that when he was a little kid; he was peeping on Tsunade-Sama in the hot spring. Tsunade-Sama knew he was looking at her so she punched him hard in the stomach. Lots of his ribs were broken. Jirayia showed me his stomach and it had a big scar. So if I were you I wouldn't peep on Sakura."

Naruto thought about it and he knew Sakura-Chan trained with Granny Tsunade when he was gone. He knew that she could hit 5 times harder. Naruto groaned and went back to his spot.

When they were done, they went back to change. Captain Yamanto treats them with a lot of food. They sleep there for 1 day and tomorrow they'll start their mission.

Ino woke up. She stretched and she notice that Sakura isn't here in the room. She looked out her window and she saw Sakura and Sai. She smiled because they were bonding. She saw Naruto running up to them saying, "I know Ino accepted you as a friend, but I didn't know Sakura-Chan accepted you too." Ino laughed. She got her things and she walked up to them.

"Good morning guys." Ino greeted them. They all greeted Ino back.

Captain Yamanto came up to them, "Ready to go?"

"Hell yeah!" Naruto started running.

"Hey, Baka! Wait for us." Sakura yelled. While running up to him.

"He must be really excited to see Sasuke." Sai told Ino.

"Of course he is." Ino replied.

I know I am.


"Okay, I think we're here. When Sakura battled Sasori, Sakura said that she knows where the meeting spot is." Captain Yamanto said. He turned to Sakura. "This is the meeting spot right?"

"Hai, Sasori told me that he's going to meet Kabuto here." Sakura said.

"Okay, here's the plan. I will disguise myself like Sasori. I will give you a signal and that's when you guys came in to back me up. You guys hide where the bushes are." Captain Yamanto pointed where their hideout is. "Got it?" He asked.

Everyone agreed. They all hide behind the bushes. Captain Yamanto transforms into Sasori and he changed his voice just to sound like him. They wait till' Kabuto came in. Naruto turned to Ino.

"Hey Ino, what's the signal again?" Naruto asked.

"Do you ever pay attention what Captain Yamanto said?" Ino asked. "The signal is this." She just touched her nose.

"Oh okay! I got it." Naruto said.

"You guys, shhh." Sakura said. "I think I see Kabuto." Everyone looked at them.

"I thought you weren't going to show up, Sasori." Kabuto smirked.

"Hn, tell me where Orochimaru is?" 'Sasori' asked.

"Hey, the only person who will be asking questions is me." Kabuto replied.

Sasori was going to say something, but Orochimaru came in to the scene.

"Orochimaru? What is he doing here?" Ino asked.

"Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto said in a confusing look.

"Kabuto, what's going on here?" Orochimaru asked. Orochimaru ran up to 'Sasori,' and he punched him. Captain Yamanto transformed into himself.

"I should have known that wasn't the real Sasori." Kabuto said. He turned to Orochimaru, "I'm sorry, Lord Orochimaru." He bows down when he said that. Captain Yamanto did his signal and that made everyone came in to the scene.

Orochimaru looked around who he is competing with. He looked at Ino.

"Lord Orochimaru, it's … it's that girl." Kabuto said.

"I know." He walked up to Ino.

Naruto seeing this got in front of Ino and said, "Hey don't you dare try to touch her!"

"Hmm, very well then. "I'll fight if you're more stronger than my Sasuke." Orochimaru said.

"You're Sasuke!" Naruto yelled. "Stop fucking using him!" He started to ran up to Orochimaru and punch him. But Orochimaru dodged his attach and instead he grabbed his leg and threw in where the trees are.

"Naruto!" Ino yelled. She was going to help him out, but stopped by Orochimaru. "Get out of my way!"

"But don't you want to know if Sasuke still loves you?" Orochimaru asked.

Ino stopped and listened to him. "Does he?" She asked. Orochimaru was going to tell her, but he got inturrepted by Naruto.

Orochimaru looked at Naruto. "Looks like Naruto entered his nine tails." He looked at Ino. "You better get out of here, or he might hurt you." He smirked.

She turned around to run, but the bridge was shaking. "Sakura, what's going on!"

"I don't know. It seems the bridge is about to collapse! Quick Ino, let's get out of here!" But they were too late, and the bridge already collapsed.

Captain Yamanto was already out of the bridge, but Sai, Ino, and Sakura were still there. He saw that Sai drew something in his scroll. Just then, he got an ink flying bird. He rides on it and he flew away. "Sai! Save Ino and Sakura!" But Sai didn't seem to care so he flew away. "Damn it!" He made another bridge and the girls landed there. "Sakura, Ino, are you both alright."

"Hai!" Sakura replied.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Ino replied.

Captain Yamanto looked at the sky and he still sees Sai. "I better spy on him and find out what he's up to." He made another clone of himself and he told the clone to follow him. The clone listened and started to follow Sai.

"Ino, come on!" Sakura said. They both ran up to Captain Yamanto, while Naruto and Orochimaru were still battling. "Ino, what did Orochimaru told you?"

"He was about to tell me if Sasuke still loves me." She replied.

Sakura looked at Naruto and she promised herself that she won't be a burden anymore. "I have to save Naruto." She ran up to them.

"No Sakura, don't!" Captain Yamanto said. But it was too late she was almost there. Captain Yamanto and Ino tried to catch up with Sakura. Captain Yamanto used his Wooden jutsu and he made wooden pieces attached to Sakura's arm.

"Captain Yamanto, please let me do this." Sakura punched the wood and it break. She ran up to Naruto. "Naruto please stop!" The nine tails looked at Sakura. He threw a punch at Sakura's arm. She yelled in pain and she landed on the floor.

"Sakura!" Ino yelled. She was about to run up to her and help her, but Captain Yamanto stopped her from running. "Hey! What gives?"

"If you go there then Naruto might attack you too." He said.

Ino looked at Sakura, "Sakura! Hang in there!"

What do I do?

Naruto and Orochimaru were still battling. Kabuto looked at Sakura and notice her arm. He walked up to her. "Kabuto, don't you dare hurt Sakura!" Ino yelled at him.

"Don't worry Blondie. I'm just going to heal her." His hands were green and he touched her arm. He was healing her. He stopped when Orochimaru called for him.

"Come Kabuto, let's retreat. It's useless fighting with them." Orochimaru said while leaving. Kabuto nods and walked away.

"Hey! Were-…"
"Let them be Ino. We need to worry about Naruto and Sakura." Captain Yamato said.

"Right." Ino replied. They both ran up to them. She started to help Sakura up. "Hey Sakura, are you alright."

"Yeah, my arm just hurt." Sakura replied. "Captain Yamanto, Ino, please don't tell Naruto what just happened. I don't want him to worry." They nod and they walked up to Naruto.

"He seems unconscious." Captain Yamanto said. "Let's wait until he wakes up." The girls nod.

"Hey, where's Sai?" Ino asked.

"He's with Orochimaru and Kabuto." Captain Yamanto replied.

Sakura gasped, "What! How come he's with him?"

"I don't know. I made a clone and the clone is spying on them. Right now, it looks like that Sai gave them some kind of envelope. And now they ran off."

"Well, we better follow them." Ino said. "Maybe they're headed to the hideout and maybe Sasuke might be there."

"Ino's right, we have to go." Sakura said.

"We can't. Naruto is unconscious, we have to wait." Captain Yamanto. "Right now let's take a break."


"Lord Orochimaru, I think someone is following us." Kabuto said.

"I know I could sense it." Orochimaru replied.

"What do we do?"

"They seem desperate to see Sasuke, so let them follow us. It could be like a reunion." Orochimaru smirked.


"Captain Yamanto, I think Naruto is waking up!" Ino said. Naruto got up and he saw Ino, Sakura, and Captain Yamanto.

"Hey, where's Orochimaru and Kabuto!" Naruto said while looking around.

"They got away." Sakura replied. "But we have to hurry! We can still catch up with him." Sakura said while getting up.

"Right!" Naruto said. They all stood up and they ran to the forest. Captain Yamanto leads the way and he told them the plan while running to tree to tree. They all agreed to the plan. They made it to the hideout and they saw the lair.

"Great, how are we going to get in?" Naruto asked.

"Sakura, do me a favor and punch the lair." Kabuto said, Sakura looked at him with a confusing look, but she did it anyway. When she was done, there was a big hole. "Let's go." They all nodded and walked in. "We have to be extra quiet."


"Sasuke, we got you company." Orochimaru said while walking in. Sasuke was just sitting and waiting for Orochimaru. Sasuke looked at the 'Company,' and he rolled his eyes.

"You're late. When are we going to train?" Sasuke said.

"Right, let's go then." Orochimaru said while following Sasuke to the exit.

"Wait! Sasuke!" Sai yelled. Sasuke and Orochimaru stopped. "Your ex-friend, I believe his name is Naruto; is really annoying." Sai said with a fake smiled. Sasuke turned around and he activated his sharigan. Orochimaru seeing this stopped him.

"Don't Sasuke, you'll scare him." Orochimaru said. Sasuke just rolled his eyes and they left to train.
