Disclaimer: Guess What, I Don't Own Naruto, AHA, I Knew You Thought I Did

If the characters do not act as if they where the actual characters, in the sense that this is part of the original story line, in which these events actually happen…. You can go screw yourself

"Anko, do you have any news from Konoha?" Sasuke asked, rubbing his temples.

"Some good news, and some bad news lover." He looked up at her confused,

"Bad news?"

"The good news is, Hinata is bringing Naruto to Otoga. The bad news, is that the Anbu found out Sakura was training ninja illegally." Sasuke balled his hands into fists,

"Damn the Anbu, they have been getting in our way to often recently." He slammed his fists on the table, causing Shino to jump from his slumber. "Shino, Kiba, I want you two to go ahead to Otoga. Meet Hinata and Naruto then bring them to our headquarters in Yukiga." Shino and Kiba stood and bowed to Sasuke,

"What then, sir?" Kiba asked,

"I'll meet you all there." Kiba and Shino nodded and left the room. As they left, Anko sat in Sasuke's lap,

"What do you want to do about Sakura?" Sasuke sighed,

"We do need her, so I guess you, Kakashi, and Neji need to go get her from the Konoha Anbu. Kill as many of them as you can too, the less of them the better." Anko nodded, and kissed Sasuke on the cheek,

"We'll be back before you know it." She winked and stood up. She bowed to Sasuke and left the room. Sasuke stood up and looked out the window of the room. He watched the sands wiping past. The sandstorm was dying down, the jutsu used to keep it going, stopped to let the few travelers leave the village. Ever since Gaara had become the kage of this land, he had allowed Sasuke to run his shinobi through the village, carrying out missions and running errands for the small rebellion soon to come. He chuckled to himself, and he too left the room in total darkness.

"Hinata! How much longer?" asked Naruto in a sort of depressed way, "We've been walking for days." Hinata giggled,

"Otoga is just over the next ridge Naruto, then we can rest." Naruto looked over to the horizon, and saw the looming cliff ahead. He sighed,

"It's going to take forever to climb that thing." He complained, "Is there any other way around it?" Hinata laughed,

"Yes there is, but it's a secret." She winked at him, and he smiled.

"Well, how then?" She shrugged and ran out in front of him. He ran after her, and she disappeared in front of him.

"What the hell just happened!" he yelled out. Hinata's head reappeared and looked at him,

"It's a hidden hole in the cliff, simple genjutsu. Just follow me." Naruto scratched his head, and nodded. He walked over to her head, and put his hand through. It disappeared, and he accidentally grabbed Hinata's chest, she blushed and quickly jumped back. Naruto walked the rest of the way through and looked around the small cave. Hinata turned and faced down the tunnel, still blushing.

"The village is outside the other end of this cave." She hurriedly walked forward, trying to forget what just happened. Naruto leisurely walking behind her.

As they reached the end of the cave they saw to figures walking from the other end. As the two figures got closer, Hinata stopped, and Naruto walked into her,

"Hinata, it's been a long time hasn't it?" One of the figures asked as they got close enough for Naruto to see.

"Kiba, Shino, it so good to see you again." Hinata said as she hugged them both. Shino looked over to Naruto,

"We got orders to take you two up to Yukiga." Naruto's shoulders fell,

"We have to walk all the way to Yukiga? But that's twice as far as we walked to get here from Konoha." Shino motioned behind him, and Naruto saw a small wagon pulled by horses coming closer,

"We are travelling by horse until we get to the village at the base of the mountain, then we have to climb the rest of the way." Naruto nodded,

"Hell, half the way would have been good. I just need to quit walking for awhile." Kiba laughed,

"Naruto, you are just to weak man, me and Shino walked here from Sunaga, which is ten times the distance. So quit your damn complaining." Naruto laughed,

"Whatever, I hear you two followed Sasuke here." Shin looked over at Hinata fiercely. Who shook her head, as if he asked her a question.

"We did follow him here, but we were told he left to go to Kusaga, something about his brother Itachi." Naruto nodded,

"Well then lets get going to Yukiga."

"I'm with Naruto, we need to get to Yukiga, if we don't get there soon, he'll probably send Anko, and you know how pissed off she gets." Shino said to Kiba,

"Yeah, especially since she was ordered to go to Konoha, she hates being to far from him."

"Who the hell is 'him', and what the hell are you talking about?" Naruto asked as he jumped into the wagon.

"You'll see him when we get to Yukiga." Naruto sighed,

"What's with all the damn secrecy? Dammit, I can never get an answer from anyone." Hinata laughed as she sat next to him.

"Naruto, calm down, it's not like we are trying to kill you, hell, I could have done that back in Konoha." Naruto smiled,

"I know, besides none of you can beat me, I am the greatest." Kiba sighed and shook his head, "Hey Kiba, where is Akamaru?" Shino and Hinata both looked to Kiba, as if he would kill Naruto for asking,

"He is being held by someone, until I finish my mission" Shino and Hinata both sighed in relief.

"Alright, hey, how long is it going to take to get to Yukiga?" The others just shrugged, "Well, it can't be to far. It's the biggest mountain in the world, hell, we could see it from outside right?" Hinata shook her head, and Kiba rubbed his temples. Shino sat at the front of the wagon, staring straight ahead as the sunlight first hit the group.
