Kai-Dranzer – Thanks for the helpful encouragement. I'll try to make it longer. And a personal greeting to you and your family(Hi. Miss ya)
"O-haiyo Sakura chan, O-haiyo Sasuke kun." greeted Naruto as he reached their usual meeting place near the entrance to Konoha Village. "Hi," both of them replied simultaneously. "So, both of you have been waiting long?" Naruto asked. "Nope." Sasuke replied. " We just got here 5 minutes before you." Sasuke continued. "And thanks for the food yesterday. It was awesome. You have good taste for good food. Plus, the waitress there was beautiful."
"What?" Sakura thought. "I love him so much but he doesn't love me?" she continued thinking. "Nah, just joking. Hahaha." Sasuke said. "I wouldn't fall in love that easily." Sakura keep looking at Sasuke who was now glancing at her. She was practically all over Sasuke. He ignored her and leaned against the pillar with his arms akimbo. She was staring at Sasuke while Naruto was looking at Sakura with confusion written all over his face.
"So, I'm looking forward to today's mission." compiled Naruto. "Hopefully we'll get some adventurous mission." "Yeah, I want to test out my new jutsu if possible." continued Sakura. "Your mind control jutsu? Hopefully I'll won't be your victim like last time where you lost control of your jutsu and needed Kakashi sensei's help to disengage it." complained Naruto. Sakura became furious. "What!" "If you hadn't interfered, my jutsu wouldn't have hit you." explained Sakura. "As your chakra was higher and you have Kyuubi's chakra as well, so my jutsu wouldn't work as your chakra wasn't stable and was out of my range. If it was in my range my jutsu would have worked and I could disengage it. And one more thing, why is Kakashi sensei always late? Can't he be more punctual like us? So called elite shinobi, even genins like us are way better than him especially Sasuke Right Sasuke?" Sasuke snorted. "Well, I'm used to that. Late or early, he'll be our Kakashi sensei. "He'll turn up sooner or later. Sakura continued quarreling and criticize Naruto.
"Hi everyone. Wow! Both of you are really loud. I could hear you two quarrelling from my office." Hokage greeted. "Konichiwa, Hokage sama." Team 7 greeted. "Sumimasih.(Sorry in Japanese) Hokage sama." apologized Naruto and Sakura. "Hahaha." Hokage laughed. "Nah. Just heard you two when I was on the way. Nice strolling in peaceful Konoha." Hokage explained. "I see that you're waiting for Kakashi sensei right?" "Late as usual," complained Sakura. "I'll be on my way then. Bye and good luck in today's mission." bid Hokage. "Bye," they replied.
"See, Naruto. You're the one that's so loud that Hokage sama could hear us from miles away." Sakura shouted. "Hey, you're the one shouting like a mad girl. At least Ino has better characteristic and emotion control than you," replied Naruto, trying to defend himself. "Keep Ino out of this. It's just you and me," Sakura retaliate. They both continued quarreling and Sasuke stood there with his usual habit of leaning against something with his arms akimbo.
30 minutes passed and Sasuke yawned. He then said, "That was long of you to find your way here sensei."
"Ok, the two of you. Stop quarreling. Kakashi said. "And good morning." Sakura and Naruto stopped and looked up. Kakashi was squatting and balancing on the beam that connects with the pillar that Sasuke was leaning on. "Sorrythat you've waited for so long. I met kiba's dog, Akamaru while I was on my was here. He looked lost so I grabbed him and turned back and passed him to Kiba. That's why I was late." Kakashi scratched his head.
"Liar!" Naruto and Sakura exclaimed together. "You always have reasons." Can't you be punctual or early? Since after you have taken over Team 7, we had to wait at least for half an hour for you to arrive even if we come late. "Well, it's better than me being late for hours. Half an hour is nothing." Kakashi answered. "On, you can kill that extra time by doing what you two have been doing just now before I arrived." Kakashi suggested. "Ok. Leave those matters behind. We have mission ahead of us. So come on."
"Er…Kakashi sensei?" Naruto asked. "Yes?" Kakashi answered. "Erm….You haven't explained whats our mission today. Hopefully no more lame mission." continued Naruto.
"Oh,yeah. Forgotten that little detail." Kakashi said. "Todays mission is to recover some scrolls. It's a highly rank mission so don't mess up. Ok Naruto?" "Affirmative!" Naruto said with pride. "No more lame mission." Kakashi though, "Wow. Naruto looked really pump up after he heard what I was saying. Good."
"Ok, let's head south of Konoha, left of the weapon shop and opposite the theatre." Kakashi directed. "Ikeso(Let's go in Japanese)"Naruto exclaimed. They all headed to the place where their mission lies.
