Sry no replies to reviews this time, but thnks for the wonderful reviews!!

Yes we own Naruto.... in our dreams...

Chapter 13-Yes, It's the Thirteenth Chapter!!

"Geez." Tsunade sighed as she tied a very tight knot while bandaging Sasuke's broken wrist. "Getting into a fight, with 5 high ranked Anbu, no less."
"THEY attacked US." He pointed out, "It's not like we wanted to fight them."
"Sure, sure, whatever." The Hokage said vaguely while putting his broken wrist in a sling. "You're not going to be able to use that for a week. Usually, it'll take about 6 weeks or so for that to heal, but since you have me as a doctor, it'll take less time."
"Arigatou." Sasuke said as he hopped off the bed.
"But, you're still going to do the mission." Tsunade said. "I'm thinking of assigning someone to accompany you, you and your wrist and always somehow getting into fights all the time..."
"I don't get into fights ALL the time." The dark haired Chuunin snapped.
"Right, you always get into fights at the Sand Village, so you're going to the Sound tomorrow." She said to him, "Maybe I should assign Naruto with you...."
"Hell no." he said promptly.
"He's the only one who knows about Sora." The Hokage pointed out to the Chuunin, "And he seems to be willing to risk his life for her."
"And I'M the one always saving his ass." Sasuke muttered under his breath.
"He's going to bother me about it anyways, so I'll just assign him with you so he won't annoy me anymore." She walked back to her Hokage desk, "but then again...who's going to buy my books?"
"I'll buy your books if you don't assign him to me." The dark Chuunin said.
"But he's going to find you anyways." Tsunade countered.
"I'll buy your book if you also don't tell him where I am." He said.
"Hmmm...." She thought about it for a while. "No."
"Nani yo?!? Why not?!?"
"Where's the fun then?" the Hokage replied, "It's so amusing to see Naruto fall head over heels for Sora and you play along with him."
"............"
"So I'll just assign him with you on this mission, since if you get into another fight, you'll have someone to protect you, with that broken wrist and all." She said calmly to the glaring Sasuke.
"I don't need anyone's help." He told her firmly, "Naruto will only be in the way."
"What's an important trait a shinobi should have?" Tsunade asked him.
"Umm....huh?"
"You're smart enough, you should be able to figure this out."
"....courage?"
"......--;;;;"
"What? Isn't it one?"
"Yeah... but what's an IMPORTANT trait of a shinobi."
"Courage is one of them."
Exasperated sigh. "TEAMWORK. Every shinobi should have the trait of teamwork. It's very important. Didn't Kakashi teach you that??" she said to him.
"Hn."
"Yoshi!! It's settled then. Naruto will be accompanying you." Tsunade clapped her hands together. The door opened and an Anbu guard stepped in.
"Hokage-sama." He greeted.
"Please fetch Uzumaki Naruto." She instructed him, "He will probably be in the forest in Area 3 training. If you can't find him, go look in the Ramen Bar."
"Hai." The Anbu disappeared with a poof.

Meanwhile, Naruto was indeed at the Ramen Bar, slurping his second bowl of noodles. He couldn't get any more than that since no one was treating him, so he used his two of his precious passes to free Ramen.
'Yoshi!' he thought happily, 'After this, I will go train some more, come back for more Ramen, train until late night, get Ramen, sleep, get Ramen, train in the morning, get Ramen, train more, get Ramen, and then I'll go annoy Tsunade-baba for Sora-chan's whereabouts.'
He was drinking up the reaming soup in his bowl when suddenly there was a loud poof beside him. The blond spat out the soup in surprise, right into the poor Anbu's face.
"Ah?" Naruto blinked at the soup-covered shinobi. "Ahh...gomen nasai." He said hastily, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"Hokage-sama requests your presence." The Anbu said. Luckily he was required to wear a mask, but the mask still had eyeholes...
"Huh? What does that old hag want with me this time?" the blond asked, "Wait...don't tell me... she noticed all the forbidden scrolls missing!!! Oh no!! She found all the fake scrolls!!!"
".........." The high ranked shinobi stared at him, "Ahem, as I was saying, Hokage-sama requests your presence immediately."
"Alright, alright, I'm coming." Naruto drained his bowl before hopping off the stool, waved goodbye to the old man that ran the Ramen Bar, and followed the Anbu to the Hokage tower.

"Ne Sasuke?" Tsunade spoke up.
"What?" he said.
"Shouldn't you change into Sora?? I mean, Naruto is going to be here soon." She said to the dark haired Chuunin.
"How soon is he going to be here?" Sasuke asked.
"Like-"
"Oi Tsunade-baba!!!"
"-right now." She finished.
"Sasuke!! You're here too!!" Naruto bounced over to his teammate. The Hokage nodded a thanks to the Anbu and he disappeared with a poof.
"Why's he covered in soup?" she wondered out loud.
"Ehehehehe...." The blond rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Anyways," Tsunade said in a business-like tone, "I called you here for a reason, you know. So listen closely and-"
"I DIDN'T DO IT!!!" the blond blurted out. Both Sasuke and the Hokage blinked at him.
"Didn't do...what??" Tsunade asked, suspiciously. Naruto gaped at her, just realizing she had no idea what he was talking about.
"Oh...so that means you didn't check the Forbidden scrolls...ok, so... what did you want to tell me about??" Naruto asked.
"Naruto..." the Hokage said through gritted teeth.
"Uh?" he said.
"Just WHAT did you do to the forbidden scrolls??" she asked, eyes narrowed in suspicion. The blond shuddered under that glare.
'Scary...' he thought, shuddering. "I-I didn't do anything!!" he said loudly, feeling perspiration run down his neck in nervousness. "I swear!! I d-didn't do anything!!"
"Uh huh, sure, I'll check them later, ANYWAYS, you know my niece, Sora- chan?" she said to him. Sasuke felt a hint of annoyance with the extra suffix. "And the mission she's on?"
"Hai, hai." Naruto nodded.
"I'm assigning you to accompany her to the Sound Village tomorrow." The Hokage announced.
"Honto ne?!?!?!" the blond jumped up and down in excitement, "You're not lying?!?!? YAY!!! YAY!!! YAY!!! YAY!!! YAY!!! YAY!!!"
'Geez...' Tsunade sweatdropped, 'He's sure energetic...'
"Where's Sora-chan right now???" Naruto asked, happily.
"Eh..." Tsunade felt tempted to say 'She's right next to you,' but Sasuke had his Sharingan glaring at her. "She's... ah.... somewhere close to you."
"Yoshi!! I'm gonna go get some Ramen!!" he announced, "Want to come Sasuke??"
"Ah? Eh...sure..." the dark haired boy stuttered, not expecting his rival to be asking him to go with him to the Ramen Bar.
"Let's go!!!" Naruto grabbed Sasuke's left hand and almost literally dragged him down the long winding stairs of the tower.
Meanwhile, the Honorable Fifth Hokage snickered as she turned the page in the book she had somehow taken out just when the two boys stepped out of the room.
