Narrator's POV

CHAPTER TWO

Phase One: Identify Target's Location

We all know that in life, in order to achieve, you must sacrifice. Sacrificing is a form of effort being put into the work you do. People, who are incapable of sacrificing, are too weak to get through in life while the ones who are capable are strong enough. Making sacrifices in order to achieve your goals, builds up a great reputation for an individual. Nevertheless, just being able to sacrifice, is not the only thing that makes an individual superior to others – it is the ability to make the right sacrifices. However, sacrificial power is not the only element that makes an individual strong…

Sakura's eye lids peeped open slowly. She still needed sleep as she could feel the sands of slumber burning her eyes. That was the consequence of reading through an entire file filled with documents during most of the night. But nonetheless, she was now fully aware of Onikage's intensions. Thanks to Temari, of course. She passed a hand through her messy, pink hair. Somehow she could not take her mind off the look in Temari's eyes yesterday. She could not help but be bothered by it. But her concern was not for Temari; no, she could not care less about her feelings; especially if her feelings were for that Nara man. And that was why Sakura was going to ensure that she severed all of Temari's ties to this mission. And with that in mind, she shrugged off every ounce of sleepiness and made her way to the bathroom.

Tenten waited outside, her back leaning on the driver's door of her black Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro, on Sakura's driveway. Tenten was in her usual appearance. She wore her signature hairstyle: a pair of tight buns with some loose bangs decorating either side of her face. And just like Sakura, Tenten was not one to dress formal or very feminine, so instead she wore a navy-blue top, a pair of jeans and a pair of worn-out converse. Her chocolate brown eyes narrowed as she saw Sakura exit her apartment.

"What took ya so long, Saki?" Tenten said, as she opened the car door. Sakura made herself comfortable on the passenger's seat. "Sorry," was all she said.

"Tsunade told me about our mission. But she said you have the details. Fill me in," Tenten said, wasting no time. She reversed from the parking lot and was now driving at a high speed.

"Okay," Sakura began and Tenten was all ears. "Over the past three years, Onikage has been exporting billions of ammunition supplies to other terrorist organizations around the globe in exchange for hefty prices. According to the information Temari has gotten me, they also import and export illegal drugs. They have alliances with Akatsuki – since Uchiha Sasuke's older brother is a member of that gang. Onikage and Akatsuki will be meeting at a conference along with the Akatsuki's alliances." Sakura paused for a moment and looked at Tenten who was now frowning.

And Tenten, who sensed that Sakura had paused, urged her to continue and asked, "What are they meeting about?"

"From the info I received, the Onikage and Akatsuki are working on what appears to be a nuclear weapon – one that they're planning on selling to the Russians," Sakura concluded. She went on to tell Tenten that there were little details given on the weapon and that due to Temari's abrupt departure, there was no doubt that the gang had already changed their abode and venue for the meeting. Sakura then proceeded into suggesting phases in which the mission would be divided. This was one of the procedures she liked best, mainly because it made even the longest and hardest missions seem brief and effortless.

"I think this should work – Phase one: Identify the target's location," Sakura offered, thinking back that they would never know how to start the mission without knowledge of the gang's new whereabouts.

"That's why I already have the surveillance group looking into shots and clips from the military satellites," Tenten assured Sakura, who thought of it as astute move. Tenten glanced at her sister. It was not all that hard to miss, the speck of uneasiness on Sakura's face. And then out of concern, she asked, "Hey, what's wrong Saki?"

Sakura frowned. "Um… I forgot to have some coffee," she lied.

'Take it easy, Sakura…it will be taken care of…soon enough…' Sakura thought inwardly.

"I did not believe that I would one day have to face a situation like this!" Sasuke Uchiha spat as he paced around the two men who were on their knees, their hands tightly bounded together by rope.

"W-we d-didn't mean t-to!" said the man with the Mohawk.

"Please, Sasuke! She just came out of nowhere and threatened the lives of our children!" the other man begged.

Sasuke looked at the two pleading men in disgust. "You idiots, what do you think I am? Dense? Just because you two are minors of this gang doesn't mean that I don't know your background history! Besides, which women in the world would dream of being knocked up by you two losers?!" Sasuke said as he cocked the gun. "I'll teach you to defy th-" he proceeded, but was stopped by a sudden outburst from the door.

"Sasuke, she has not eaten anything yet. And she won't listen to anyone… she's not co-operating!" Karin complained to the already stressed Uchiha. He groaned angrily as he shot a glare at the red-head then said, "Can't you handle anything, Karin? Neji, take over from here." And with that said, Sasuke left the room with Karin leading the way.

Neji entered the interrogation room and faced the two traitors. "Any last words?" he said stoically. The two traitors did not move a muscle. "You both should be grateful that you'll die a quick and painless death. I hate wasting time on imbeciles such as you," he said. His voice was calm, but deadly.

And not long after that, two gun blasts echoed through the hallways.

Neji Hyuuga came out of the room, his face a void of no emotion and his light, lilac orbs were now fixed upon two individuals. Neji was frustrated, but he did not show it. He was frustrated of all the rearranging that was being made since that blonde woman that called herself Sayuri made her surprise departure. And then, because of this other woman whom he had never met, they would have to reschedule for the upcoming conference.

"Shikamaru, Naruto, the woman who confronted these two losers, is working as a spy for the FBI. And judging by how recent the treachery has been she should be staying in one of the nearby hotels since she now has knowledge of our territory. Her name is Anko Mitarashi. Find her and eliminate her immediately," Neji ordered the man whose hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail and the one with wild, spiky blonde hair and blue eyes. Neji was familiar with the way the FBI handled things. It was likely that they would stay very near to the fugitives' location for easy access when it was time to arrest them. And, the nearest hotel was "Sunrise Inn". Of course he knew Shikamaru would suggest looking there first, but he was not exactly sure if Naruto would catch on.

"These FBI freaks just have to be pains in the ass don't they? What a drag…" Shikamaru said dully before leaving the room with Naruto.

Anko sat at the dinning table, her attention focused on what was on the screen of her laptop. She could not help but notice the strange aura that circulated the atmosphere. She was beginning to have a dire feeling.

'I'd better report to the Surveillance Department, should anything happen to me,' she suggested logically to herself as she waited for the Manga page to load. She did not want her hard work to die in vain with her. Taking one last bite of her Japanese dumplings, she rose from her seat and headed toward her cell phone. She dialed the FBI code followed by the Department number.

"FBI Surveillance Department, how may I help you?" a female voice answered.

"Hello, Ms. Yamanaka, can you please transfer me to Genma?"

"Sure Anko, please hold," Ino Yamanaka said.

"Genma here," the man picked up.

"Hey, it's me, I don't think I have enough time here, so let me make this quick. I need you tell Sakura and Tenten Senju that I have found Onikage's location and that I've already sent the address and surveillance tapes from the Military Satellites, okay?" Anko said clearly.

"Sure…Anko are you alright?" Genma asked as he noticed Anko's hard breathing over the phone. She took uneasy glances around the room. It did not take a genius to tell that intruders were in her suite.

"Um…yeah I think. Listen to me; if anything happens to me, then you should know that I recommend you to take over as Head of the Surveillance Department," and with that said she disconnected the call, removed the phone's SIM and swallowed it immediately before tossing the phone aside. She looked around for her handgun, but unfortunately for her, it was no where in sight. She had absolutely no tricks up her sleeve – it was too late for that now. Her chances of survival were limited. But she was glad that Sakura and Tenten's plan were going to work accordingly – thanks to her. And at that thought, she stopped frantically searching for a weapon and a small, but visible smile glided across her face…

Sakura smiled as the Hiroshi opened his eyes. She gently picked him up from his crib and Tenten ruffled his fine, messy, brown hair. He was now babbling something in his baby language.

"Good morning to you too, little Hiro," Sakura cooed. As the days passed by, he was beginning to look more like his father. But, baby Hiroshi would always have his mother's beautiful crimson eyes.

"I wish Asuma could have seen him." Sakura and Tenten both turned around, only to see the mother who was still in mourning of her husband's death. Kurenai had quit being an agent the moment she found out that she was pregnant with Hiroshi. Then two months after that, her husband, who was also a FBI agent, died during a mission.

"I'm sure he's seeing his son right now," Tenten consoled and Sakura simply nodded. While the three women conversed, Hiroshi busied himself, fiddling with Sakura's necklace and her pink hair.

The comfortable family gathering was interrupted when Tsunade rushed downstairs hollering that she had some terrible news.

"What is it mother?" Kurenai asked. She was the only one out of the three adopted sisters who addressed Tsunade by "Mother" or "Mom".

"It's Anko Mitarashi; she has sent word to the Agency about Onikage's location," Tsunade anounced.

"There's a package for you at the Bureau," Tsunade informed Tenten and Sakura who nodded.

"But Tsunade that's great news, how-" Tenten began, but was cut-off when Tsunade said, "It was confirmed at 5:04 a.m. that Agent Anko Mitarashi was murdered …."

"Shikamaru and Naruto may not get the agent in time," Sasuke said to Neji and Sai.

"So what should we do about the FBI agents who are after us?" Sai questioned. There was a long pause among the gangster friends. They all new that the FBI's systematic approach was: assigning two people to work on the case and thoroughly investigate it. Then, the two leaders will give out orders for any on-the-field job which would have to be firstly clarified by the Director of the FBI.

"Knowing their lame procedures," Neji began, breaking the silence of thought, "I'd say we should terminate the two in charge before they could interfere with our business."

"Hn, after all, I'm honestly tired of this moving around. It's beginning to annoy me," Sasuke agreed and Sai just nodded.

And just as the three men were about to ponder on how they would go about working with such a plan, Shikamaru entered the room, clutching a laptop in his left arm and Naruto followed behind him.

"Shikamaru, did you two follow through with the arrangements?" Neji asked. Said man nodded and showed the other three men the silver laptop.

"While on our way here, Naruto checked it. He was able to hack into all the coded files but there was nothing much," Shikamaru explained.

"So what did you find then?" Sai asked, noting that Shikamaru said "nothing much" and knew immediately that they did find something anyway.

"Just the names of the agents," Naruto answered, speaking for the first time since they arrived.

"Who are they?" Sasuke asked desperately on behalf of the three who had contributed to the previous plan.

"Agent Senju Tenten and Agent Senju Sakura," Naruto stated.

"Did you find a cell phone from which we could trace calls?" Sai asked.

"No," Shikamaru and Naruto said in unison.

Naruto explained that they were able to hack into Tenten's FBI profile. And, fortunately it did them some good – at least they would not be going on some wild goose chase since they now had a clear photo of the brunette. Everyone exited the room, leaving Sasuke behind.

'Sakura…that name sounds so…annoying' Sasuke said inwardly before exiting the room.

Sakura and Tenten were truly sorry to hear about Anko's sudden death, but they could not help but feel a little relieved that she had posted the information before the tragic incident. It was made clear to everyone before they joined the FBI – sacrifices had to be made. As soon as they heard about the surveillance post from Genma, they wasted no time and made their way to the Headquarters. It was all there: the address, snapshots and video clips of Onikage's location.

Tenten smiled and turned to Sakura. "Phase one: Identify target's location – complete," she said to her pink-haired sister who nodded. "Then I guess we should move on to the second step," Tenten added.

"Yeah, but there's just one thing I need to take care of before we continue," Sakura stated with a dead tone which told Tenten not to question.

Sakura left her sister in her office, and headed up to Tsunade's office.

'This just has to be done,' she thought.

OKAY! I have two things to mention…
