Eeek! I'm so stupid I didn't know I put the same chapter twice, thanks RedClyde, you're awesome :D... Here's another chapter...

"Mitsuko-chan." Ino says. "Not to doubt your leadership skills but, do you really think it's okay to leave Hinata-chan behind? I mean… not even Tenten-chan has caught up to us yet."

Mitsuko remains silent for a moment. "I understand your concern, but we cannot forget the goal of our mission." :God! Why did you become like this Sasuke! Look at all the trouble that you've caused:

"Damn Sasuke! It's all his fault!" Naruto says out loud.

"Naruto! You can't blame Sasuke-kun for everything, I'm sure he had a very good reason." Ino says, trying to defend Sasuke.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." Naruto says.

"Everyone be quiet! My Sukerugan is picking up the enemies' voices, we're pretty close to them." Mitsuko announces.

"Alright! Let's get those suckers!" Naruto says excitingly.

"Naruto! Listen to my plans this time okay?" Mitsuko scolds Naruto. "Since there are only two of them left, we have the advantage in numbers. We have to get our hands on that barrel."

"Well how do you suggest we do it, leader?" Naruto says sarcastically.

"Just listen to my plan…" Mitsuko says.

Tayuya/Sakon side

"Why are those two taking so long?" Sakon asks.

"Those useless shitheads, I knew we couldn't count on them." Tayuya answers impatiently.

"We have to get back to Orochimaru-sama soon." Sakon says.

Suddenly, Tayuya felt movement within the barrel. "Jotto" Tayuya says as she stops on a tree branch.

"What's wrong? Is the process finished?" Sakon stops and asks.

"It shouldn't be, it takes longer than this." Tayuya answers.

Out of nowhere, two chakra arrows fly towards Tayuya and Sakon. "Watch out!" Sakon warns Tayuya. The two barely dodged the arrows, looking up they see the three Konoha ninjas standing in front of them.

"Kuso! What the hell have Jiroubou and Kidoumaru been doing all this time?" Sakon says angrily as he launches himself towards the group, preparing to attack.

Ino and Naruto jumps at Sakon, ready to retaliate. "Karenke!" Sakon shouts as he sends a series of fast-paced punches at the two in front of him. To his dismay, the two he attacked were only bunshins, which disappeared in a puff of smoke. "What the?" Before he had time to react, Mitsuko emerges from the smoke and uses her Gesshoku happa to strike Sakon. The contact results in an explosive impact, causing Sakon to crash straight down to the earth.

Tayuya watches from a distance as she watches over the barrel. :What the hell is going on:

"Hey! Don't forget about me!" A whole group of Naruto bunshins shouts as they drop on Tayuya, who had no time to react.

With the two sound ninjas temporarily subdued, the Konoha three regrouped and Mitsuko snatches the barrel containing Sasuke and takes off.

"Ino, have you set the traps?" Mitsuko asks.

"Yup! Those guys will not be able to catch us with my traps lying around." Ino answers confidently.

"Are you sure about that…" Naruto asks dubiously.

"Of course! How can you not trust me?" Ino asks, sounding a bit offended.

"Let's hope so…" Naruto says.

"Damn it! We have to get the barrel back from them!" Sakon says angrily, the marks of his curse seal slowly crawl across his face.

"Let's go!" Tayuya says as she jumps off.

"I think they're catching up to us, everyone be cautioned." Mitsuko says looking back.

"Alright." Naruto and Ino response.

"You're not getting away!" Sakon shouts as he emerges from the trees, his recklessness prevented him from noticing the traps in front of him.

"Gotcha!" Ino whispers under her breath. A series of explosions occurs behind the group.

"Did we get him?" Naruto asks as the group approach a large split in the ground.

"No we didn't…" Mitsuko says as she makes a sudden stop before the diverged ground.

"Peek-a-boo." Sakon says from the opposite side of the cliff.

"Ino you suck!" Naruto complains.

"Yurusai!" Ino retorts.

"Um guys, enemy in front of us." Mitsuko says.

Before the group had time to react, Sakon jumps towards them, preparing to attack.

"Naruto! Use your Kage bunshin, now!" Ino commands.

"Wha- what? Okay, Kage bunshin no jutsu!" An entire group of Naruto clones emerges from the puff of smoke and jumps at Sakon.

"You fool!" Sakon shouts as he throws several kunais at the bunshins, eliminating them at once.

Without notice, Ino jumps into the air above Sakon and holds her arm out. "Ninpo-Shintenshin no jutsu!" Sakon was hit directly, as his mind got taken over by Ino's. Ino's body however, lost its consciousness and starts falling downward into the cliff.

"Ino!" Mitsuko shouts as she watches helplessly.

Ino uses Sakon's body to grab onto her own. "Mitsuko hurry! This will buy you some time, go now!" Sakon shouts as the two bodies fall into the pit.

Mitsuko's mind races. :Not another team-mate: But she had no time to lose since Tayuya isn't too far behind. "Naruto ikuze!" Mitsuko hurries off with Naruto following behind.
