Chapter 14: Seduction
Sakura rushed home and quickly packer her bags. She grabbed some supplies from her closet and food from the pantry. She wrote a small note telling Sasuke what she was doing and why she left without saying good bye. After packing all her supplies, Sakura finally opened the mission file. Scanning the map she noticed that her target stayed in the hidden village of the moon. Sakura quickly recalled the time when she first travelled to the village. She also remembered it was when Sasuke first kissed her. She smiled and began to blush. No this isn't the time to think about Sasuke-kun...
When Sakura arrived in front of the Konoha gates she noticed that someone else was standing there with a back pack. As she slowly approached she noticed it was the Hyuga heiress Hinata. Hinata turned her head to see Sakura walking up to the gates with a back pack on her shoulders.
"Hey Hinata"
"Hi" she whispered.
"What are u doing here?" asked the medic nin.
"I have a mission, how..w about you?"
Sakura placed her back pack on the ground and pulled out her mission folder. In bold print written in red at the top was 'Mission to be completed in Pairs'. Hinata's file had the exact same thing written down. After swapping files and reading each other's they figured their mission was the same, except they had to gain information from different men.
"I'm glad you're coming Hinata"
Hinata smiled and nodded in agreement.
"To be honest..." Sakura looked down.
"...I was scared of going alone"
Hinata noticed this and tried cheering her friend up.
"Don't worry Sakura, w..we can do it"
Sakura looked up and smiled.
"Yeah we can"
Just then the gates began to open. The guards watched on as Hinata and Sakura began to head down the road.
"BECAREFUL" yelled Tsunade.
Turning back both nins smiled and waved good bye to the hokage.
As the to nins raced through the trees Sakura noticed Hinata was unusually quieter than normal. At first she shrugged it off but as the day continued Hinata never said a word. Becoming worried Sakura tried to start a conversation.
"Hinata?"
The hyuga heiress turned and faced Sakura. Her eyes downcast. Sakura noticed this.
"What's wrong?"
"The mission Sakura"
Sakura gave Hinata a questioning look.
"Get information from certain men..."
Now that she mentioned it, Sakura was disturbed at how Tsuande had said those lines. Sakura began to realise what she meant by 'get information' and she her eyes widened in shock. She turned and tried to hide her fear but Hinata could tell she just figured out what she was thinking.
"We aren't ready for this..."
Hinata agreed and continued jumping from tree to tree.
"We can't turn back now"
Sakura agreed. I hope it doesn't go that far...
Konoha...
Sasuke picked up the note at Sakura's door and read it twice. Then he chucked it onto the closet bin and headed to training early. I hope she's ready for this... Thoughts of Sakura clouded his mind as he silently travelled through the empty streets of Konoha. Sasuke had always been over protective of what he had, ever since he lost it all...
When he arrived at his training ground he started to perfect his finishing techniques. I'm falling behind... Although he we would never admit it his friends were getting closer each day to matching Sasuke's strength. The raven haired nin jumped on a close tree and began performing hand seals to his new technique. It took him a few minutes to master the seals but eventually he perfected them, now the only thing left was executing the technique.
He gathered chakra into his hands and concentrated. Slowly the same dragon appeared from when he attacked Orochimaru. The dragon was smaller this time though. Sasuke then pulled out his katana. He commanded the dragon to dodge his attacks and his training commenced. He couldn't seem to land a hit on the small dragon. He began to get frustrated soon after he was puffed out. He would need to hit the target dead on is his technique was ever going to work. Sasuke wiped the sweet on his fore head off and sat down under a tree. The dragon vanished in a puff of smoke and Sasuke was left alone.
The teen sighed when the image of Sakura wouldn't leave his head. He was losing concentration on his training and was worrying too much about her. She can handle herself... He reassured himself then headed for the clearing in the forest. As soon as he reached the clearing Sai and Naruto where there waiting for Kakashi.
Naruto was surprisingly quite this morning. Sai noticed this and decided to ask why.
"Sakura-chan and Hinata-chan have both gone on a mission" he replied.
So Hinata's there, she should be fine...
Sasuke felt relieved that the Hyuga heiress was accompanying Sakura. A puff was heard as there sensei appeared on a nearby tree. He expected the usual 'Your Late' but it remained quite. Kakashi studied his students and noticed Sakura wasn't here. He looked at the Uchicha for answers.
"Mission" was the reply.
He nodded and jumped down.
5 hours later...
Everyone was panting and trying to catch their breath after an intense training session. Naruto had the most wounds and scratches out of the group but the kyubi healed them all. Sasuke sighed as he wrapped his hand in bandages. I miss Sakura already... Sai had already left without a word. Kakashi watched on as the raven haired nin struggled to nurse his wounds. He smiled behind his mask. He could tell he was used to Sakura's company and abilities already.
Kakashi also took note that Naruto was very quiet today. He headed over to the blonde to find out why.
"Yo Naruto"
The blonde turned around and waved.
"Yeah, Sensei?"
"Why are you so quiet?"
Naruto's eyes shifted down.
"...they are on a mission"
They...?
"...Hinata-chan and Sakura-chan"
Kakashi nodded.
"...Hmm yeah"
"...Granny Tsunade said they could die"
Sasuke stopped fumbling with his bandage and turned around to face his blonde teammate, his eyes wide with horror. Kakashi also had a surprised look on his face. Sasuke clenched his fist and was restraining himself from assassinating the hokage. Naruto saw this and smiled weakly.
"...that's a possibility on every mission" Kakashi tried to re-assure his team.
"...Granny said death was almost a 75 chance"
Sasuke's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Calm down Sasuke..,"
Sasuke then activated the sharingan and disappeared in a flash. Naruto looked on shocked.
"...Shit" was all Kakashi could say.
"Naruto come quickly, he might kill the hokage"
Naruto's stood there rooted to the spot.
He would kill her... Shit...
Naruto raced after Kakashi to the tower. Wasting no time then ran across the rooftops until the tower was insight. Then a black flame shot out the window and screams were heard from miles away. Kakashi lifted his head band and formed the seal of the tiger and released his family's jutsu. Naruto followed by releasing the kyubi.
In the middle of the forest...
Sakura yawned and stretched as she woke up. Hinata had kept watch for the early morning. Sakura wished so could go back to sleep and continue her dream of Sasuke. She noticed she was wet. Blushing madly she rushed into the nearby lake and bathed. They swapped soon after and left on their journey to the hidden village of the moon. Hinata scanned the surrounding area and made sure they weren't being followed or watched. So far the journey had been going smoothly.
Just after sunset they reached the village. The guards recognised Sakura and simply nodded when she entered. The streetlamps were already lit as the village's streets came to life. The kunoichi's searched for a place to stay. It wasn't long till they found a cheap hotel; they had to share a room to cut down on the costs.
"We could be here for a while..."
Hinata nodded.
After settling into the small room they flicked on the television and watched some romance film.
"...but we were meant to be together"
"We can't...!"
"Why?"
Sakura had heard those lines so many times. She often used to think like that when Sasuke never returned her feelings. She also knew Hinata had feelings for her blonde teammate.
"Hinata, how's it going with Naruto?"
Hinata blushed a little.
"S..Same as normal" she replied looking down.
Sakura wished so sometimes punched that idiot for not realising Hinata liked him. Naruto hadn't even noticed how Hinata was always there when he needed help. Also Hinata needed some encouragement to go up to Naruto and tell him how she felt but of course Hinata would faint. That was another clue Naruto never picked up on. The Hyuga heiress would always faint when he touched her or complimented her. Sakura sighed.
She hugged her sheets closer to her freezing form. The mattress was lumpy and very uncomfortable but it was better than nothing. She saw Hinata having the same problems and laughed. Hinata smiled back and closed her eyes. It wasn't long till Sakura was the only one awake; thoughts of Sasuke and the mission flooded her mind. She unwillingly shoved them out off her head and fell alsleep...
Konoha...
Sasuke was sitting outside the hokage's office with chakra strings to keep him still and binding him to a bed. Naruto was sleeping on a nearby chair. Kakashi ordered him to watch over Sasuke for the night. Tsunade did not take lightly to the fact her whole office door as burnt into ashes and half the genins inside were wetting themselves watching an angry Uchicha storm into the office.
"All right, they chunin exams are to be held next month in the village of the sand..."
Suddenly a thud was heard from outside the door.
"Come..."
The door turned a very bright red then black flames burnt down the remaining parts that did not melt. The first thing all the students saw was the red of the Uchicha's sharingan. Some screamed while others started to shake.
"Leave..." Sasuke ordered the genins.
They all gulped and ran away as fast as possible from the avenger.
"..in" Tsunade finished her sentence. Her sweat dropped as Sasuke walked closer and closer.
She looked into his eyes and knew why he was here. Her eyes widened as fear over came her. She began to panic. She racked her brain for answers for an escape route. She wanted to scream and run away but couldn't. She had never seen such intent to kill, not even from Orochimaru.
Suddenly a skid was heard down the hallway. Kakashi and Naruto sprinted in and surrounded Sasuke. Kakashi was glowing red and Naruto had released the kyubi. Sasuke just looked into Kakashi's eyes and then into Naruto's. The raven haired nin knew he couldn't take both of them.
He sighed and closed his eyes.
"I'm going to ask you once..."
Naruto and Kakashi stood their ground and readied themselves.
"...move now"
Nethier of them moved and Tsunade stiffened.
With one swift movement Sasuke appeared in front of Tsunade.
"Why did you do it...?" he asked.
Tsunade gulped and Naruto grabbed Sasuke's arm and tried to move him away. Kakashi just moved beside Tsunade in case Sasuke did attack her.
"...Sakura was the only one who could do this mission"
Sasuke knew that the news of this afternoon's event spread fast. As usual some people expected while others just didn't mention their opinion. He knew that the village will use this as evidence that he should be killed on the spot. Also the village elders wouldn't take kindly to the fact he nearly assassinated the hokage. He gritted his teeth as he tried to get some well deserved rest.
Next day...
Sasuke woke up with a jolt. This place wasn't his room and why was he chained to a bed. He then calmed down as he recalled yesterday's events. Naruto stirred then woke up.
"Morning"
"Hn"
Tsunade opened the newly fitted doors and told the to boys to come inside. The room had been completely cleaned and refurnished. Sasuke and Naruto sat down on a sofa and waited.
"Yesterday night I received information from the village of the moon"
Sasuke looked on bored while Naruto's eyes lit up.
"Sakura and Hinata made it their safely..."
Sasuke sighed feeling relieved.
"...but he have also received some news about the mission"
"Apparently many other villages went these two men dead..."
She let her words sink in.
"... the men also found out Sakura's and Hinata's mission"
Both their heads snapped around and Kakashi who was outside walked in.
Sasuke's fist automatically clenched while Naruto tensed.
"...your A rank mission is to assassinate these two men and prevent anything happening to Hinata and Sakura"
Sasuke was already standing up heading for the door.
"Meet at the gates at 12pm, Dobe"
Naruto was too tired to respond to the insult and walked off.
Tsunade hoped she had done the right thing sending these two boys. The silver haired jounin bowed and walked off...
