Warning! I don't own Naruto or Naruto Shippuden!

Okay, so I wasn't gonna update again, but then I read the latest chapter of Naruto… And I'm giving any spoilers in the intro, but when I read it this was my reaction… :O "Why, Neji? WHY?"

So yeah… If you've read it you understand and if you hadn't then go read it!

So here's a quick read… Probably, cause whenever I say quick it's not…

Enjoy!


"Naruto, calm done," Kakashi sighed, rubbing his hand over his face that looked more than a little fatigued, "We can't do anything until we've met with the rest of the army."

Naruto grumbled something under his breath, but I didn't pursue it. We were moving quickly in order to get to our destination. Since some people needed to be carried were moving on the ground. Also Itachi, though embarrassed about it, didn't have the energy to move through the trees. Hence we were traveling on the ground. I wouldn't have minded normally on a normal night, but things had been anything but normal for awhile.

"The stars are beautiful," Juugo said softly. He was walking to my other side. He kind of reminded me of a bear. But a nice one.

"Yeah, too bad it's a little hard to enjoy them tonight," I said back and his cheeks darkened slightly.

"Sorry, I forgot for a second there," He smiled sheepishly. It was cute.

"Well, she doesn't look anything like her dad!" Naruto laughed as he ruffled my hair. I socked him in the stomach and he stopped.

"General Kakashi! We've arrived!" A man yelled as he ran towards Kakashi. Sorry, but it was too weird to call him General.

"Kakashi Sensei, I'm going to the medic tent," Sakura called back to us as she ran while putting her hair up. Kakashi waved at her, acknowledging her departure.

"Naruto and Sasuke, I would like to speak to you about what to do about Madara," Itachi said as he nodded towards an empty tent. I noticed it was one farther from the others. I guess he wasn't quite ready to make his presence known yet to everyone.

"Shouldn't Anzu come too?" Naruto asked, moving towards the tent with Sasuke.

"Nah, I'm terrible at strategies and Itachi knows it," I smiled at them, "Besides I'll just learn it later and then ruin it at the last moment anyway!"

I waved them off and then looked at the others. Juugo and his friends decided to go see if there was anything that they could help with. The other shinobi went with Kakashi somewhere and the injured were taken to the medic tent.

I decided to wander.


After getting in several peoples way and almost being stabbed by a kunai I ran into Sakura. It had been a few hours and she was being given a break. I noticed how exhausted she was already. I felt bad, but couldn't stop my comment.

"All the stress is gonna turn your hair gray," I said as she walked over to me.

"Thank you, Anzu," She sighed and then laughed as she pointed to the large paw marks on my chest, "What happened to you?"

"I got to meet your friend Kiba and Akamaru," I brushed some of the mud off my chest, "The dog thought jumping on me and then knocking me down would be funny. It was not."

She laughed and motioned to sit down. I did and she practically flopped down to the ground.

"Something weird is going on here," She started before looking around as if looking for someone, "There's a spy here killing off Jounin Medics. It's got all the medics freaked out."

"Good thing you're still a Chunin then, right?" I nudged her in the ribs and she laughed a little.

"Still it's scary," She sighed before giving me a sly smile, "An injured guy gave me a love letter. He said he couldn't get me off his mind."

"That's sickeningly adorable," I laughed, "Did he read it to you?"

"No," She laughed and rolled her eyes, "I told him there was someone else."

"Oh, who?" She didn't say anything. I was pretty sure I knew who though, "Is it Naruto, cause you have been acting weird around him?"

"I'm not sure," She sighed and held her head in her hands, "I'm not sure how I feel about Naruto anymore."

"Well, you don't like Sasuke anymore do you?" I asked and her head whipped to look at me.

"How did you know that?" Her mouth was in an 'o' shape. Quite funny actually.

"A little birdie told me," A nurse that liked to gossip actually.

She was about to answer when we heard a yell. We both looked at each other before jumping up to ran towards the yell. Sakura took us to a tent away from the yell though. She must have taken us the tent she had just been in since an injured man stood inside.

"Neji?" Sakura looked at the other opening of the tent. A boy with pale eyes and long hair stood there. The injured man stood as though he had just seen a ghost, "What are you doing here?"

A weird smile was on his face. Then a noticed something glint in his hand and as he launched the kunai that was headed for Sakura I moved. I stood in front of her and pulled my own kunai out and blocked his.

"Neji, what the hell?" Sakura yelled as she moved slightly out from behind me.

He didn't answer he just stayed there with the same weird look on his face.

"Sakura, I think we just found the spy," I looked back at her, "Looks like it doesn't matter if you're a Jounin or not."

I looked back at the boy.

"Just matters if you're a healer or not," I said my eyes never leaving his face.

This was the guy that Lee had told me was his friend and teammate?


Holy crap! Yeah the whole Neji thing is totally happening right now in the manga! Crazy right? I know!

Anyways, I'm probably gonna wait to update again till the reason for Neji's betrayal is released. Cause I wanna know, dangit!

Anyways, till next time!

Thanks!
