-1Chapter 3: The First Move

"Now, we're expose to have 8 kids coming on this trip….Naruto?" Sakura looked at Naruto. He was looking off into the distance. This got her angry, "Naruto!" wamp "Pay attention!"

"Ow! First Tsunade-sama attacks my ears, andnow Sakura-Changoes after my head." He said while rubbing a large lump on his head. "What was that for?"

"I said pay attention. Now," Sakura said holding a paper in her hand, "We are esposed to be looking after 8 kids. That means you get 4 and I'll get 4. Naruto...? Naruto! Pay attention!"

Naruto turned around before he could get hit again. "I heard you! I heard you, just don't hit me!"

hmph " Ok, so did you bring the lunch. I got the rest of the stuffwe need," Sakura pointed to her pack.

"Hmmm...lunch...," Naruto tapped his chin, "Oh! Yeah, I packed us lunch right here." He pointed to a spot on the ground.

"Haha, now where is your pack?" Sakura put her hands on her hips. "Naruto, this better not be a joke!" She clenched her fist.

Naruto put his hands in front of him, waving them in defense. "No, no, I just must have forgotten my pack at home. Don't worry I'll go get it right now." He took off in the direction of his house. Sakura just sighed and rolled her eyes.

She didn't know how long he would be so she sat on one of the benches.


Haku watched them from his hideout. It would be easier to kill one of them when they were alone. But he thought hard about his choice. After all he didn't enjoy killing. was it really necessary to kill her. After all, all she did was protect the bridge builder. She did nothing to him, or Zabuza. He sighed. Relieved that he didn't have to kill her after all. Haku wanted to kill only those that were guilty.

So he would wait, wait for the boy, Naruto.


Kakashi was coming back from a mission. Jumping from branch to branch. He could now see the village wall. But something in the trees caught his attention. It was moving fast.

To make sure it wasn't dangerous, Kakashi followed it. When he was able to get a clear veiw of who/what it was, his heart nearly stopped. 'That boy, he's alive. How?' Instead of interupting Haku he followed close behind. Wondering what the boy was up to.
