Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. But, I probably could if I um, bought it. All I need now is a couple hundred thousand dollars, maybe a couple million, and um… does anyone know what else I'll need? Or a couple hundred thousand dollars to start me off?
The New Annoyance
Kakashi was having a hard time concentrating. What should he do? He was supposed to be like her father, wasn't he? But he wasn't. Kakashi was confused.
He had no time to worry about that now. He had to get them across to Suna. That was the farthest of most of the villages, and they had to get to it early tomorrow morning. He decided that they would travel in the trees, because that was faster. He realized that he had to be in the front, and he had to put the two worst people on the inside. And guess who that was? Naruto and Sakura. He had to put the two best people on the outside, and guess who that was? Keitorin and Sasuke. This was not making life easy for him.
"Okay, you four will follow me. We will be going via the trees, for the most part. So Naruto and Sakura, you will be behind me, try not to fall behind. Sasuke and Keitorin, you will be behind them. Try not to fall behind," Kakashi said monotonously. "Alright; we've wasted enough time, let's go!" Kakashi cried.
The five took off. Or they would have, if Tsunade hadn't stopped hem.
Kakashi stopped his group. "Greetings, Hokage-sama," Kakashi greeted her, bowing.
"We have two more for you to take, Kakashi, we thought that since this a higher ranked mission, you may need the help," Tsunade said professionally. Down the path into the line of view (which wasn't very large because it was dark out) came Ino and Hinata.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama," Kakashi said, bowing once again.
"Okay, Ino and Hinata, go in front of Naruto and Sakura," Kakashi said. "We will be going via the trees."
The seven of them took off, up the trees only about fifteen minutes behind schedule.
Sasuke and Keitorin had to keep diving down and catching Ino; she kept losing her footing because it was so early in the morning. At around seven o'clock, Ino switched places with Sakura.
At eight o' clock, they rested and had breakfast. Sakura and Ino were fighting over who sat next Sasuke; Naruto was eating Ramen he had packed; Keitorin was talking to Hinata. In the midst of the two girls net to him screaming at each other, Sasuke wondered what girls talk about. Occasionally, Keitorin and Hinata would giggle. Hm, maybe they talk about… shoes. Girls talked about that kind of stuff, right? Hm, and shoes are funny… Okay, so he vowed that before he died, he would find out what girls talked about. Sasuke realized how pathetically bored he was. Seriously. He just made a vow that he would find out what girls talk about. Please let's just get going with the mission. He couldn't hear anything, and both of the girls were leaning on him, and now he couldn't feel his shoulders.
"Okay, come on, we're not even halfway there!" Kakashi said, snapping shut his book.
"Naruto looked up. "It's about time you put that bachiatari book away, Sensei!" Naruto said, annoyed.
Kakashi sighed. "Just come on."
Sasuke stood up, almost knocking the two girls off of him.
Ino and Sakura stood up immediately. "I get to go next to Sasuke!" They both shouted at the same time. "No way! I go next to Sasuke! Grrrr…!" They both said at the same time.
They all sweatdropped, except Hinata, who just sighed. "No, same spots as before," Kakashi said.
Well, that rule had to change. Ino quickly realized that the more you fell, the more the more the person behind you has to save you. And Sasuke was behind Ino. So, Ino had to be put next to Sasuke, much to his, Sakura's, and Keitorin's displeasure.
They stopped for lunch five hours later. Keitorin sat next Hinata, and Sasuke sat next to Keitorin. He wasn't next to her for long, though. Sakura and Ino had pushed her out of the way. Same situation as before. Sore shoulders. Gritting his teeth and balling his fists.
"Okay, we have to leave." Kakashi-sensei was really pushing them.
They traveled across swiftly until ten. Then he allowed them to eat dinner. The reason they had to keep at it until ten is because the trees thinned out and they had to go on foot. Anyway, at ten o' clock, they got to the pre-set up camp. It was about four hours away from Suna, so some people from Suna must come and set it up. There were two large tents; one for boys and one for girls.
"Okay, since we don't want to waste all of the easy to make stuff, we have to make dinner," Kakashi ordered.
The boys went fishing, and Kakashi gave them a hand. They discovered that Naruto and Sasuke were horrible at fishing. They also discovered that not even fishing could keep Kakashi away from that book!
They caught enough fish with help from Kakashi, and the girls had to cook them. Hinata and Ino collected stuff to make a soup out of, wild vegetables and things, like that.
When it came time to eat, everyone was tired and hungry. Sakura put a plate down in front of the small group. Keitorin put one down on the other side. Sasuke speared a fish off of Sakura's plate. He took a piece from it and popped it into his mouth. His eyes started to water.
He saw the look on Sakura's face, and swallowed the horrible tasting fish. "Mmmmmmmmm…" He said.
After eating, everyone welcomed sleep.
Keitorin had the weirdest dreams, but she didn't even remember them when she woke up. Maybe, it had something to do with Sakura's fish…
I've been having a lot of bad endings, haven't I? Okay review, because I am going to bed!
