Part 5-Mission

"Hyuga Ginji… 14 years of age, a powerful genin. During the 'mini war' at the end of the last Chuunin selection exam, he took out two groups of Sound village Jounins by himself. No remorse for killing, almost enjoys killing his opponents…" He sounded like he was quoting facts from a book, "This guy's joining our team for the Chuunin exam? Damn, I don't think I want to deal with him…" Shikamaru picked up the form again to make sure of the name of the temporary team member, "no wonder they need two higher ranked shinobi for this team…" He rested his head in his hands and sighed, "what a bother…"

***

The three of them stood at the Konoha village gates. An unusually highly ranked mission had been set out for their team, probably due to the current lack of Chuunins and Jounins. They had to infiltrate hidden sound village, it was a well-known fact that Orochimaru was planning on attacking Konoha, but what he was going to do was completely unknown, which was where they came in. Aside from Chouji's baika no jutsu, their team was specialised for infiltration.

"Can we just, not do the mission? It's too much work, they should just wait for a Jounin team to get back…"

"Shikamaru, what happened to the Chuunin who led a team to save Sasuke from Orochimaru's henchmen?"

"I couldn't exactly goof of on a mission like that…"

"This is much more important than that mission, our entire village is at stake!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah…"

"Shikamaru, you should be more enthusiastic about missions like this…" Chouji sided with Ino with a mouth full of food

"Hey, why isn't Asuma coming on this mission?"

"He's being sent off on some other mission later…" Chouji opened up a new packet of potato chips

"With… Kurenai," She emphasised the name of the female sensei of team 8, it was a well known fact to teams 8 and 10 and probably others, that Asuma and Kurenai were dating, even though they thought that they were inconspicuous

"… Great…" Shikamaru yawned, "I guess we should go…"

"Geez Shikamaru, you could at least feign some excitement…" Ino put one hand one her hip and poked him in the forehead with the other.

"I could, but that takes too much effort…"

"Shall we…?" Chouji pointed in the rough direction of the hidden sound

"Let's go!" Ino shouted, she ran out of the village, followed lazily by Chouji and Shikamaru

They made their way to the border between the fire and sound country borders. They decided it would be better to make their way in to the country when it was dark.

***

They made their way into the village from the north, if anyone had seen them coming they wouldn't have expected them to go that way; hopefully they wouldn't have been noticed. They hid their leaf forehead protectors and headed for a weapons shop.

"A lameass and a fatass… You would dare to rear your ugly faces in our village…?"

I know that voice… Shikamaru shot a quick glare at Chouji so that he would contain himself, before turning to face the girl that had snuck up on them "… North gate's Tayuya…"
