Chapter 35!!!!! –Is still hyper- I'm happy because Gaara-sama is gonna come back into the anime in America soon! WEEEEEE! And about the Sakura Gaara thingy. It's just some random thing that my friend and I made up.

We say that Gaara and Sakura are friends, but argue all the time since Sakura is so outspoken, and would probably object to every little thing Gaara has to say! LOL YAY!


Akamaru lifted his head and sniffed. He growled slightly, his tail wagging back and fourth furiously. He lifted his head and barked, to warn the others that somebody was heading their way. He walked over and tugged on Kiba's sleeve.

"What's wrong Akamaru?" Asked Naruto, looking up from his bowel of fresh ramen.

"He says that something's coming," Said Kiba, watching his friend carefully, his eyes narrowed.

"Really? Well then, we better get ready in case it's an attack," Said Kakashi, looking up from his book. He shook Neji awake, and pulled Shino out of his sulking, "Pay attention," He muttered dully.

Kiba sniffed.

"Who is it Kiba?" Asked Neji.

Kiba frowned and didn't answer.

They all looked up.

They all tensed, waiting for the ninja dog specialist's answer. He sighed and smiled, and shook his head. "It's just a desert fox," He growled, "Akamaru you dip stick."

Akamaru barked gleefully.

The others growled and sat back down.

"Dumb dog making such a stupid mistake," Muttered Naruto, "Oy Kakashi-sensei, when are we gonna go and get Temari from the cloud village, eh!?"

"Choji's working on that now," Said Kakashi, holding up the jounin's headband. "He's disguised himself as a simple civilian. He'll get himself arrested without letting them know that he's a ninja. He'll be put in the prison cell, then bust Temari out with his human expansion jutsu. Then he'll rush her back out here to us, and we'll have Temari safely in our hands, then we can attack the village once Shikamaru gets here with Gaara and Hinata. Got it Naruto?"

Naruto grumbled something under his breathe and slurped up some more ramen angrily.

"Now we just need to wait for Choji…" Muttered Neji, looking up at the sky, frowning.


Who knew it'd be this easy? Thought Choji, as the guards of the cloud village took him to the prison cell. They hadn't even suspected that he was an experienced ninja. They just thought he was some old wanderer who got lost on his travels. They took up no hesitation to arrest him.

Now he just needed to find Temari, and then bust right out of here!

Heh, piece of cake!

Mmmm…cake…

"Get in the cell fatty," Sneered one of the guards, holding open the cell door.

Keep clam Choji…you can kick their asses later…The jounin told himself. He sighed and entered the cell without resistance. He looked around as they shut the door, and closed the door leading out of the room. He laughed aloud.

"Quiet down will you?" Hissed a brown haired woman, "There's no reason to be laughing in a place such as this."

"Of course there is!" Said Choji gleefully, "I'm here to break all of you out of course!" He crossed his arms and looked around at the dismal cell, "You see, I'm really a leaf jounin! I cam here to find Temari of the hidden sand village!"

There was a rustling from the corner, and Choji saw a pair of dull green eyes staring out at him from under a blanket, "C-Choji-kun?" Whispered a voice quietly.

Another figure sat up, and silver eyes shone through the darkness. Hinata's face brightened, "Choji!" She gasped.

"H-Hinata!?" Gasped Choji, "What are you doing here!?"

"She got caught," Muttered Temari, shuffling out from under the blankets. She looked worst then Choji had ever seen her. Her face was even more pale then before and she had a tint of red over her cheeks.

Choji walked over and knelt down in front of her. He placed a hand to her forehead, "You have a fever Temari-chan."

"You think I don't know that?" She growled, "You were stupid enough to get yourself caught, what's up with that?"

"I got caught on purpose," He said winking.

"Who would be stupid enough to do that?" Asked Shida.

"Me," He said shrugging, "I didn't tell that I was a ninja. We have a plan to bust you out of here…" He looked at the Hyugga, "But Hinata, what are you doing here?"

"I got caught, like Temari-san said," She muttered.

"What about Gaara?"

She shrugged.

Choji's face darkened, "All the more reason to get all of you outta here. We all came to rescue you lot! Shikamaru's leading a team to go find Gaara right now!" He reassured them.

"How do you even plan on breaking out?" Muttered Temari, her voice hoarse of misusage.

"My human expansion jutsu," He said smiling.

"I thought we agreed, no plan to bust out?" Growled Shida.

Gohan sighed, "Daughter, this young man came all this way to save these two girls, and even all of the other prisoners. Can't you show him some thanks?"

Shida fell silent.

"Temari-chan, we'll have to do it soon so that we can get you to Sakura," Said Choji quietly.

"I'm not going anywhere without the others," She muttered.

"But-"

"I said NO Choji," She hissed, "If I go, all of the other prisoners go with me." She stared at him with a flare in her eyes.

"Temari-onee-chan, you don't have to do that," Said Hana.

"No, but I want to."

Choji sighed. "Fine, have it your way."

"Good, now well me the plan."


Tsunada rushed out of the Hokage tower, Jiraya beside her. They ran to the clearing where they had ordered all of the jounin, chunnin, and ANBU to meet up. As soon as the ninjas spotted them, they were showered with questions.

"Hokage-sama! What is going on?"

"Jiraya-sama, why are here?"

"Is the village under attack?"

"What's happening?"

"Should we alert our allied!?"

Tsunada stomped, making the ground explode around her, "Shut the hell up and just listen to me!" She snapped.

Everyone fell silent, fearful of the fifth Hokage's rage.

She put her hands on her hips angrily, "This is a war time alert," She told them, "It seems the mist village and the cloud village have betrayed the peace treaty. We are currently not under attack, but we might well be under attack very, very soon. They have already attacked the Kazekage Gaara and Hyugga Hinata, and have captured Temari of the sand when she was on a friendly mission to their village. This is a very serious matter that will be looked into thoroughly by our best."

"Shouldn't we put the village under extra protection?" Asked Iruka, frowning.

"Yes, I have told the border guard jounin to be looking sharp for any attacks," She answered, nodding.

"And if anyone penetrates the village?" Asked Yamato.

"Then we do what we did when the sand and sound attacked of course," Ebisu answered, "Um…right, Hokage-sama?"

She nodded, "I've received details of the sand and sound attack, and yes. If we are attacked, we will follow the same tactics, understand?"

"Hokage-sama?"

Tsunada looked around to see Lee, Tenten, Ino, and Sai, the only jounin of their age left behind from the mission to go after the others. "What is it you lot?"

Sai stepped forward, "Maybe it would be appropriate to ask the other members of NE for help?" He suggested.

His suggestion was immediately shot down with insults.

"Quiet!" Roared Tsunada. She frowned, "Sai, that is a generous offer, but not all of the root members are like you, you know."

"But I know some that are," He said, smiling, "And they are very loyal to you. They actually have emotions."

Everyone fell silent, staring at Sai.

"It's true," He said, nodding factually, "I've talked to them before. They followed my example of changing how your life is set, and have emotions. The really don't want to work under Danzuo anymore." He crossed his arms over his chest, and smiled.

"Well…we are short on man power," Said Tsunada quietly, "Ever since Asuma was killed."

Kurenai looked away.

Tsunada sighed, "Izumo, Genma, Raido, Kotetsu!"

"Yes Ma'am!"

"Head to the root headquarters, take Sai with you. Have him show you to these ninja that are like him. Go now!" She watched the jounin leapt away. "As for the rest of you, get back to what you were doing, and keep your eyes open."

As they all leapt of, she looked upwards at the sky, "Jiraya…"

He glanced at her.

"Something big is coming…"


Ok, I know this one is REALLY short, but it's because the next one is going to be super duper long. –I hope- I'm sorry for this crappy chapter, but I just wanted to show that Choji's comin!

Choji:

Lol, good boy Choji. Good Boy.
