The Prophecy of the Eight Swords
A/N: I made this story in the middle of the night because... because I wanted to, yeah.
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Naruto.
Prologue: It has been three six years since Orochimaru's death. Everyone is now a Chuunin and some are even part-time teachers at the Ninja Academy. Peace has been among all the villages for the last two years… until now.
Chapter 1: The Best Day Ever
Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were talking about their last mission when Kakashi came up behind them.
"Yo," said the silver-haired ninja as the teenagers jumped in surprise.
"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THAT!" screamed Naruto and Sakura together. "AND WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS LATE!"
"Because I don't like to rush after a good meal, that's all," said Kakashi as he pulled a folder out from his jacket. "Anyway, here is a mission file for you Naruto. Enjoy!" said the Jounin as he saluted them and vanished in a 'POOF!' of smoke.
"What's it say Naruto?" asked Sakura curiously as the orange-clad Chuunin read the papers. "Is it something exciting?''
"It say's that there is a disturbance in the newly formed Village Hidden in the Flames. A team of six Chuunin has three days to travel four days to fix the problem. The team leader is... Uzumaki Naruto!" read Naruto, surprised that he would be leading a mission.
"Yeah right. Anyway, you need to pick your five teammates carefully. I can help you if you want," said Sakura as she led Naruto down the street. Sasuke just stood there and thought, 'Has the world gone mad? Naruto, a team leader and Sakura is willingly helping him? The world is mad!'
Naruto's house...
Sakura and Naruto were sitting at his table, looking at profiles on their fellow Chuunin. "You should pick Neji and Hinata because they have the Byakugan so they can see in great distances. That way, you won't get lost. Hinata also knows about many medicines," said Sakura as she pulled out another file. You should pick Ten-ten because she is a strong weapon mistress. You should pick Sasuke because of his ability to perform the Sharingan and many other jutsus."
"Who is the last member?" asked Naruto as he looked through more profiles. "Is it someone good.''
"I think you should take me along as well. I'm know things beyond the Journeyman level and I can heal people if they are injured." She then turned to face the orange-clad ninja and smiled. "Those are the ones I think you should pick but if you don't want to recruit them, fine."
Naruto sat there and thought about what Sakura said for a couple of minutes. After awhile, he agreed with her. "You have good reasons and I trust them. Thank you for helping Sakura," said Naruto as he flashed his trademark grin.
Sakura then got up and was about to leave when Naruto said, "Sakura, do you like me?"
She turned around and looked at Naruto and asked, "What do you mean Naruto?"
"Do you like me? I'm trying to ask you if you like like me," said the nervous ninja as he blushed and closed his eyes. "I want to know if you like me the way I like you."
Suddenly, he felt her soft lips on his. He opened his eyes and saw Sakura kissing him. When she pulled away, she said, "I always have and I always will." She then kissed him again and he kissed back. When they pulled apart, Sakura said her good-byes and left while Naruto walked over to his window.
For ten minutes there was no noise or movement in the house. Finally, Naruto jumped into the air and yelled, "This is the best day ever!"
A/N: Sorry if it was kinda short and if it was all too sudden but it was really really really hard trying to figure out an opening for this story without screwing it up.
Me: "Hey Naruto! Whatcha doin'?" (I walk into his room.)
Naruto: "How'd you get into my world dangerX?" (He has a confused look on his face.)
Me: "I don't really know. Oh well!" (I shrug.) "I'm writing another fanfic about you and the others."
Naruto: "That's cool!" (He then pulls a bowl of ramen out of nowhere.) "Now, LET'S EAT!"
Me: "..." (My expression --) "Readers, plz review."
