Sarah: HOLY SHIT! I'm at chapter 7 already! Geez, I'm doing very good with this fic, especially considering that this fic also contains a prologue! I have completely surprised myself with this one. I didn't think I'd get past chapter 2 or 3 before putting it on the backburner while working on and starting other fics. And look at me! Chapter 7 and still going! I am so proud of myself!
Naruto: yeah, well … (is cut off by Sakura)
Sakura: good job, Sarah-chan!
Sarah: thanks! Okay, ya'll are gonna despise me for this chapter and the next one. But I still hope you all enjoy it. I don't own the Naruto anime, manga, or cast. Oh, and Naruto and Sasuke, one of my reviewers, Wally's Girlfriend, said to tell you two hi.
Naruto: HI THERE, WALLY'S GF!
Sasuke: hi. Oi, Sarah-chan, did you forget?
Sarah: (acting innocent) forget what?
Sasuke: what you promised last chapter in return for my protection.
Sarah: dammit … I was hoping you'd forget …
Naruto: what'd you promise?
Sasuke: she promised to …
Sarah: (interrupts; blushing from embarrassment) nothing, nothing! Nothing important, anyways! Let's just get to the pre-story stuff and then the story!
Sasuke: hey! You promised … (is cut off as screen fades to black)
GENERAL REVIEW RESPONSES
Are they genin, chunin, or jounin? I'm confused – sorry that I made it so confusing, everyone; I'm making them about eighteen in this fic and are of jounin status. I didn't mean to write the other two, so I'm sorry for that.
Naruto's fake 'name' and Shikamaru's last name are the same – eh heh, I noticed that too, but after I posted chappie 1 (what FF calls chappie 2). I didn't mean for it to turn out that way…
It can't be that dangerous if Kakashi said Sasuke could take 'Nara' – yeah, it ain't at all dangerous. You'll find out what it is this chapter. Ya'll readers are gonna be laughing your asses off by the end of next chapter.
What if Kakashi knew 'Nara' and Naruto are the same person? – grrrr! How'd you know, Kyla? I was gonna make it a curveball in this chapter! And you ruined my plan … (pouts) just kidding, I'm not really upset. Actually, I was wondering if anyone would figure that out.
I have heard that the suspense has built up too long in other cases – yeah, I heard that too. But don't worry … Sasuke should know by the end of chapter eleven or start of chapter twelve.
Kakashi is out to get Sasuke – actually, Kakashi is just very, very skilled at having bad timing … and showing up late.
Isn't it rather obvious that Naruto is the only one who can get trapped in a jutsu as a girl? – yep! But Sasuke's not exactly one who will pick up on those sort of hints right away … not in this fic, at least.
That chapter was short – yeah … sorry about that. I couldn't think of a lot to do in that chapter so I just ended it there since I wanted the mission briefing in its own chapter. This is gonna be a very short chapter as well. Next chapter should be a lot longer, though.
SHORT CATCH-UP
Nara, a.k.a. Naruto, stays with Sasuke for a while. After several hours of training, Sasuke questions 'Nara' about her distractedness. Fearing letting the truth slip, Naruto flees to Tsunade. Tsunade comforts Naruto and tries to lay his fears to rest. More than a day passes before Naruto returns. Naruto almost tells Sasuke the truth before Kakashi shows up with a mission for Sasuke.

Chapter 7
Mission: Ambassador
Sasuke covers a quick yawn walking towards the Hokage's tower, hoping that the girl with him didn't catch it. Apparently, that was too much to hope for. "Tired, Sasuke-kun?" a teasing, feminine voice asks lightly from beside him, to his right.
"Just a little," he mutters regretfully.
"Don't worry, I'm a little tired too," his companion murmurs, covering a yawn of her own. He smirks lightly at her, then they realize that they are in front of the Hokage's tower. Sharing a very, very small smile with each other, the two head inside.
Tsunade is waiting for them. "Welcome Sasuke," she says, then she glances at 'Nara'. A question seems to flit through the older woman's eyes; a question that only 'Nara' can understand. The redhead shakes her head slightly and Tsunade sighs in agitation. She turns back to Sasuke. "I'm glad you brought Nara with you. This assignment requires that you bring a female around your age with you."
"Why's that?" Sasuke asks.
"Because it's an assignment that requires two people of opposite genders; I want you to go to this annual ball held for all the villages as a representative of the Leaf village. Every village is required to send at least one pair of representative's to the ball if the Hokage cannot go or cannot find a suitable date," she says. The terms "ball" and "date" cause the pair standing before Tsunade to blush very badly. "I have chose you as my representative, Sasuke."
Sasuke bows, fighting down his blush. "I'm honored that you trust me with this," he says softly. "I won't let you down. When and where is this ball?" he continues.
Tsunade smiles and informs the two that the ball will be held at the point where several of the countries, including Leaf, meet and that they have to start traveling there by eight this morning since the ball will be held tomorrow night. They will most likely reach the site of the ball this evening and will be given a room to spend their nights in during their stay. "You are also staying for about a week, as there is a meeting between the countries to negotiate peace treaties and the such. I'm sure you can handle them, Sasuke, Nara," Tsunade informs. Sasuke and 'Nara' both nod in understanding. "You are dismissed to start packing." The pair bow and leave to do just that.
The two bow in respect and leave the room, leaving behind a sadly smiling woman. She had found out just how close Naruto had come to telling Sasuke his true identity through Kakashi. Other than herself and Kakashi, only Jiraiya knows the true identity of the beautiful redheaded Nara. Tsunade had smacked Kakashi in the back of the head because he interrupted the truth telling. But she did acknowledge to the fact that there was a very important reason behind it. She sighs. Perhaps this trip will allow Naruto the chance to tell Sasuke the truth without Sasuke deserting him or hurting him too badly. She just hopes that Sasuke doesn't freak out and get pissed, or Naruto's spirit will be crushed.
Sarah: okay, chapter 7 was just plain weird, in my opinion. Don't ask where I got the ball or peace treaty ideas from, cause I don't know. They just popped out. Well, chapter 8 will be up sooner or later; please wait patiently for me to post it.
