Hyuuga Neji…
Sabaku no Gaara…
Uchiha Sasuke…
When ASweetKissFromPoisonedLips threw something at me…I thought it was a rcok! Wahahaha! Then I re-read it and it was a rose! Waahahaaa! Thank you thank you! (Bows down)
And also! I got a review for chapter 20 in like one hour and I was like 'Huh?' but then I thought that it might be for chapter 19 instead but I read it anyway and I found out it was for chapter 20 and so again I was like 'Huh?' Wahahaha! So funny!
"So, how are we gonna get in the village?" Sasuke asked as he kneeled at the edge of the cliff with his Sharingan activated.
"I'm scanning the area at the moment." Neji spoke as he looked around with his Byakugan.
'Ok…scary…freaky eyes…' Haru thought as he distanced himself away from the two.
"Ano sa ano sa…can we eat?" said a certain blonde at the back of the three.
"Ramen? I'll join you." Haru took a seat beside Naruto and opened up his pack.
"Wah! Ramen! You got chicken ramen, I like miso. It's the best." Naruto grinned childishly at Haru.
"No way, chicken it the ultimate flavor! And you call yourself a ninja, hah!" he snffed his nose at the blonde shinobi.
"Yea? At least I'm traditional you backstabber of the ninjas."
"Che! Traditional is boring now, chicken is the new miso!"
"WELL-" Naruto was about to yell back but Sasuke cut him off.
"WILL YOU GUYS SHUT UP ALREADY! Geez…"
"I've spotted Gaara, you can't really miss his hair and gourd, plus a huge amount of sand in the middle of the village." Neji informed them as he looked into his bag.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go get him!" Naruto shouted as he jumped to his feet.
"Yea! I'm ready for anything!" he yelled out as he punched the air.
"There's patrols on the roof of the buildings and the gates, not so much on the ground. The south side is the weakest so we'll head in from there. We can communicate through these." Neji spoke as he took the ear pieces and handed it to each of them.
"You know the drill, I'm Alpha, Naruto is Beta, Sasuke is Sigma and Haru is Theta. The whole as a group will be Omega."
"There you go being the leader again! I should get these ear pieces and then maybe I'll be the leader next time." Haru laughed as he placed the piece to his ear.
"Um, what's the deal with these?" Naruto asked as he stared at the ear piece.
"…We've used them before dope, remember the cat mission?" Sasuke glared at him.
"Oh that! I remember now. What am I again?"
"You're Beta." Neji replied as he took out a piece of paper and drew the outlook of the village.
"We're here right now, but we'll go in through here. Our mission is to bring back Gaara, but we'll help around if necessary. If you get into any trouble, either call for back-up, try to escape or fight if the other options is not possible. But it's better if we try to avoid any conflict." Neji looked up from the map and gave each of them a glance before continuing.
"We'll just get in and get out. Quick and easy. Our formations will be Haru at the front, Naruto, Sasuke and then me. The last time I saw Gaara he was here." He pointed at the center of them map.
"Take another look." The raven haired cocked his head to the direction of the village and Neji complied.
"He's moved to here now." His finger shifted a little to the left.
"Remember, avoid any possible conflict. Our mission and goal is to retrieve Gaara, if you can't bring him back willingly, then do it by force. Naruto, that's your job since you've fought him once before."
"Don't forget the demon!" Naruto grinned at them.
"Right…the demon." They sweat-dropped.
"What demon? Who's a demon? I don't see any demon!" Haru exaggerated by looking around with his hand to his forehead.
"Sit down already." Naruto pulled on his shirt and made him fall on his behind.
"Ouch." Haru glared at Naruto.
"Once we get in, Haru will move off to the left, Sasuke will be off to the right, Naruto off to the center along with me. Don't forget to communicate through these." He spoke as he pointed to his ear piece and they nodded.
"Any questions before we go? I don't wanna hear yours." Neji spoke as he looked over at him, Haru sweat-dropped as he slowly lowered his hand.
"Why you instead of me? I've fought Gaara before." Sasuke stared at Neji as he flared his Sharingan at him.
"It might get personal for you, and I can block his flow of chakra with my blood line limit." Sasuke glared at Neji but he looked away.
"Anymore questions? Not including yours Haru." Haru pouted as he lowered his hand once more. Neji looked around, avoiding Haru's eyes and saw that nobody had anything else to say. He turned around and looked into the village and saw that Gaara was still in the same place.
"Alright then, let's move out."
"Sakura-nee-chan? What are you thinking about?" a childish voice spoke to her.
"Nothing much really, just about some stuffs." She replied to the girl not turning around to meet her curious gaze.
"Can I borrow your kunai or shuriken?" the girl asked.
"What for?" the pink-haired ninja finally turned, aroused by the curiosity as to why Chiyako would want to borrow a weapon.
"I wanna do target practice because I wanna get better when I get back to Mist! But I don't wanna leave Konoha because I wanna stay here with you and Haru! And also because there's ramen here!" she smiled happily at Sakura.
"Why don't I be your moving target and we can practice together? I could work on my speed to dodge you." Sakura smiled as she took out a kunai from her pouch.
"But moving targets are so hard! We're no up to that yet!"
"You'll be an expert by the time you get back!" she stuck her tongue out at her.
"Really? Let's go then!"
"Geez, is this freaking thing working? Do I still have to say 'over' Neji?"
"Don't say my name Naruto! And it's working fine you idiot!"
"We can hear you all the way to the east and west areas guys…" they heard Haru's voice on the other side.
"Shut up. Report you status, over." Neji spoke as he ran, hitting anybody on their pressure points to knock them out cold for a while.
"What about me? Over?" Naruto spoke as he ran behind Neji.
"You, shut up." He spoke as he knocked someone else out cold.
"Fine…" he pouted his lips as he ran after Neji.
"Theta to Omega, everything is peachy here. Over."
"Sigma to Omega, same here but not as 'peachy'. Over." He spoke in an almost sarcastic voice while Naruto was trying not to laugh his head off.
"Peachy, can't believe he said that." Naruto spoke in between little fits of laughs.
As Neji and Naruto neared the destination of Gaara, the smeared blood on the ground and walls became more frequent. And as they grew closer to where Gaara was, the sound of weapons clashing and the screamed on the people dying grew louder. Neji noticed that there was a thin layer of sand of the ground, and it was slowly shifting to where Gaara possibly was.
When they got to where Gaara was, he had just killed another sound ninja with his 'Sabaku Kyuu' technique, and blood sprayed everywhere, even he was covered from head to toe in blood. It was disgusting and scary.
"Hey! Look who's here to the rescue!" Naruto shouted out to him with a wave.
You'd expect Gaara to say somewhere along the lines of 'Glad you guys could make it, I was getting sick of killing and blood.' But no…he just stared wide eyed at them with a frustrated look in the face and shouted out.
"What the hell are you doing here!"
Naruto fell over anime-style.
"What! We came all the way over here to save your ass and all you say is 'What the hell are you doing here!' Geez, you're such an ass!" Naruto sweat-dropped.
"I never asked for your freaking help! Now get lost!" Gaara shouted back at him as he made his sand crawl over to its next prey.
"Our freaking mission is to bring you back to Konoha, whether you like it or not!"
"I don't need you help and I'm not going back to Konoha until my mission is finished!" he closed his fists and it began to rain blood on him again.
"Gaara! You're a bloody idiot! LITERALLY!" Naruto shouted out to him while avoiding the blood as much as he could.
There you go! Gaara's back! Ya happy!
So hungry…must eat dinner…haven't eaten since…last night…must eat…
Did I spell Haru as Haku again? I dunno, but I keep on reading over and over again but I can't see it!
