Orange Petals
Yin-Yang
Naruto stared down calmly at the scroll he held in his hand, a very small grin slipping into place. Glancing around quickly and not seeing anyone there, he tore off his ANBU mask and set it down next to him before refocusing on the scroll in front of him.
Without needing to open it he knew it was from Sakura.
But curiosity ate away at him, making him quickly remove the ribbons that bound it and set that aside like his mask. He then unrolled the scroll and begun to read. Inside laid only a couple of lines, but they managed to pull a soft laugh out of the blonde-haired boy.
Hey Naruto! I think I won our little 'bet'! You'll see what I mean when you get back!
-Sakura
"Sakura-chan…I knew you'd win the bet." Naruto laughed softly to himself as he rewound the scroll and tied the ribbons back on. "So Hinata-chan and Sasuke-teme are going to get married, huh? I wonder if they know."
"Forget about those two, I wonder if Neji knows."
"I doubt it." Naruto merely shrugged, not entirely surprised by the drop-in. "So how're things, Koinu?"
"Seinen and Shiruetto have things covered on the eastern and southern fronts. All we have to do is block them in from the west and the north and we have it done." Koinu paused a moment and sniffed lightly before grinning. "There's only a few of them; I think this might be the last group."
"Gah, I hope so." Naruto groaned as he stood and put the scroll in the pouch in his ANBU vest. "I really wanna get home for some ramen!"
Koinu curtly raised an eyebrow. "And not check in on what Sakura was saying?"
"Are you really that interested in teme's relationship?" Naruto paused and grinned. "Or lack of one right now."
"I don't care about that manuke!" Koinu protested. "I just want to make sure that Hinata doesn't get this wedding-thing forced on her by Sakura! You of all people should know how she is!"
Sadly, he did know how Sakura was.
Shuddering slightly at the memory, Naruto set his mask into place and faced the tree that Koinu was currently in. "I really don't wanna be attacked by Lee and his youth, so let's head out Kiba."
"Naruto…"
"What?"
"Codenames!"
A/N: Who's who?
Well, obviously Koinu is Kiba and Seinen is Lee…but who's Shiruetto? Sai, of course! :) Why? Dunno. XD Just is. :nods:
So we have just one more to go!
