A week passed with no sort of mission for any of team seven. They were practically put on a suspension while Lady Tsunade went through everything required for being Hokage and then spoke with the Third about how strange Team Seven was. They talked privately about whether or not they should even allow any of the three out of the custody of an ANBU since they seemed to have much more power than they really should, but they finally came to the conclusion that they should just leave them be to do what they had to while keeping a close eye on them to figure out what they were doing. It was obvious to both Hokages that the three were up to something, but so far it had only been helpful to the village so they could think of no other reason to keep them detained.

A week passed and team seven was excited to be at the bridge waiting for their ever late sensei so that they could finally get the mission that they had been promised the day before.

"I wonder what our mission is going to be," Naruto said with a smile as he sat next to Sasuke with his legs dangling over the ledge of the bridge. Sasuke looked over at him as he sat with his back up against the railing and his legs crossed on top of the bridge. Sakura was a little ways off flirting with her girlfriend.

"Didn't you have any missions after I left?" Sasuke raised a brow.

"We did," Naruto nodded, "but I went off to train with Jiraiya and Sakura stayed to train with Tsunade so we didn't really do anything together for a few years."

"I guess that's true," Sasuke nodded.

Suddenly Kakashi appeared on the other side of the bridge rubbing his head as he apologized about being late.

"You're late!" Naruto pointed out as he stood and turned to face the man. Sakura usually would have joined in with his complaint, but she was having too much fun talking to Ino to be bothered by it.

"I got lost on the road of life," Kakashi said.

"Of course you did," Naruto rolled his eyes. "Can we go get our mission now?"

"Yes. Yes," Kakashi rolled his eyes. "You are ever eager aren't you?"

"Of course!" Naruto said enthusiastically.

"We've come for our mission," Kakashi said when they were allowed to enter the Hokage office.

"Right," Lady Tsunade sighed. This job was actually a lot harder than she had originally thought it would be. "This is a C-Rank mission," she announced as she pulled out a certain file. "We know you guys are stronger than genin, but you are still genin so we won't give you anything more than this."

"Whatever," Sasuke grumbled.

"Thank you," Sakura smiled.

Naruto said nothing because he was too busy trying to peer over Kakashi's shoulder as he opened the folder.

"Rich young woman have been disappearing from a city nearby," Tsunade explained.

"Is it ghosts?" Naruto's eyes widened. Even through out his many years, Naruto had never been able to truly conquer his fear of ghosts. They always creeped him out even though everyone kept telling him that they won't real.

"There's no such thing as ghosts," Sasuke wrapped his hand around Naruto's knowing full well that the nickname would at least get Naruto's mind off of his biggest fear.

"No," Tsunade shook her head with a smirk on her face from the suggestion. "There's someone kidnapping the ladies. The local authorities have been unable to catch the guy so they asked for our help. Your mission is to go undercover. Sasuke's name is known all over fire country so he'll go by himself, but we need one of you to go as his wife while the two of you are on your honeymoon."

"I vote Naruto," Sakura said immediately.

"But I'm not a girl," Naruto answered skeptically.

"Oh come on," Sakura smiled. "You can totally pull it off. Besides, I'm with Ino and it would just be totally weird for me to pretend to be married to a guy."

"You did it all the time before," Naruto countered.

"I already voted for it to be you," Sakura said. "Besides, I'm going to be your personal bodyguard and you need a girl to do that."

"Fine," Naruto pouted. Sasuke smirked. He was really going to like this mission.

This is another in between chapter. Sorry about that guys.

I do want to mention that, from this chapter on, I will no longer be sticking to the Naruto storyline so now it's going to be all my own. I hope you guys enjoy it to the very end.
