Chapter 10: Of Dumplings and Tantrums

AN: Here's chapter 10, thanks for waiting

Naruto has always loved those dumplings. They were very tasty. Heck, he considered them second only to ramen. Those tea country dumplings were just the best.

But, now, for all he cares, these dumplings were just simply rubbish on his mouth.

I wish it were his head.

Seriously, when did tea country men suddenly turn to perverts?

There Hinata was….

My sweet, innocent, Hinata-chan….

…..being ogled by the old fool and his sons.

Meanwhile, oblivious to the demon fox aura that seemed to have suddenly filled the place, the old pervert continued to look at Hinata like he would pounce on her anytime.

And his sons were no help.

Be, patient.

But the old fool just had to hit a nerve.

Hinata just whimpered as the old man touched her bottom. "Healthy little kid," he said.

OH NO, HE DIDN'T?!

"TEME! I SWEAR I'M GOING TO RIP YOU TO PIECES!"

"Oi, Sano, how's it going?"

"Great, Tenten-chan."

To Neji's annoyance, the despicable guy was sitting with them, in their table, and really, that was just fine…

But what really got him?

He just had to sit beside Tenten. Heck, he could always sit in the middle but no…. this guy was wishing for his deathbed.

"Tenten-chan, I'll come see you later, and of course," he added, with a wink that made Neji want to castrate the man,"with flowers."

"Don't you have work to do Sano…..san?" Neji said with a voice laced with warning.

"Oh, I'm done, don't you have a mission? You can attend to it. Don't worry about Tenten-Chan, I'll take care of her" then the bastard just looked back at Tenten and continued his monologue.

Neji went stiff.

How dare he.

How dare he turn his back on a Hyuuga.

How dare he defy a Hyuuga.

And that particular Hyuuga just had to be Hyuuga Neji.

Oh…THIS IS WAR.

"SH…Shika-kun?"

"What?" Shikamaru snapped.

"A…ano…"

"Ino….I'm sorry but I can't talk right now….just let me cool down…troublesome."

Ino heaved a sigh. Normally, she would've beaten Shikamaru to a bloody pulp for what he did. But Shikamaru was serious. He was really mad.

And Ino, though irritated, just had to let it go. She was a teensy bit scared anyway.

You could practically see fumes from Shikamaru's aura.

Okay so she wasn't just a teensy bit scared. Man, he looked like he was ready to kill.

Shikamaru, on the other hand, tried his best to clear his head. Surprisingly, when Ino asked him a while ago, she didn't push it.

She must be scared, he thought.

She was really the most annoying, troublesome creature of the female species ever created.

He actually cursed his clouds. His beloved clouds.

And it was all Ino's fault.

Troublesome.

But yes, the most beautiful cerulean eyes indeed. He said as he caught a glimpse of her worried face.

"YOU OLD BASTARD!"

Naruto screamed as he charged at the old man.

For now he didn't care.

He was only concerned with beating him to a bloody pulp.

And his sons would follow later.

For a second, he hesitated.

This was like sabotaging his dreams of being a hokage.

And Tsunade would have him flying to the next country if she learned about this.

Nope, I will become Rokudaime for sure.

And so he charged, with the power of the Kyuubi that was really unnecessary.

It took less than a minute.

And they were just a pile of the dust on the bloody floor.

Well, there goes the Konoha-tea country alliance.

"Sakura…"

"What?"

"I'm done."

"What?"

"I mean we're done here."

"Sasuke, I don't under…."

"Let's go."

"Where?"

"Back to Konoha."

"What?" Sakura said groggily.

It was 3 am. And Sakura was peacefully lying in bed, feeling comfy when Sasuke just had to

come wake her.

And what's more? He just suggested they go back to Konoha right this instant.

"Why? There's still tomorrow…Sasuke, I'm sleepy."

Sakura turned back to sleeping then suddenly jerked back up.

"Sasuke-kun…" she said, voice laced with malice, "Are you telling me that you finished this mission…ALONE?"

"Hn."

"What the…"

"It's not that you're weak or anything of that sort."

Sasuke interfered in what seemed to be a very long speech.

Sakura just huffed and crossed her arms.

"Look, Sakura, I've got the scroll, let's go."

"No."

She was making this difficult.

"Sakura…I'm sorry, I did this on my own but we have to go now before I kill anybody."

Sakura looked at him, this time, the pout wiped from her face.

"Sasuke-kun…"

"Don't apologize, let's go, who know what that old pervert will do next."

Sakura suddenly smiled.

"Ssauke-kun, just for that, I'll be ready in a minute."
