Finally after being sidetracked by 3 mangas, 7 animes, 2 books, 5 TV shows, 3 websites, 2 forums, 3 kids, 17 PS2 games and 2 GBA games I've finally managed to update my story with another chapter, I loved the reviews hoping to get more on this chapter. I've tried to make this one longer but alas I may have failed.
火火Disclaimer火火
I don't own Naruto or any of the characters, nut I made up Juan and the two sound ninja, but I doubt that I own them. I do own the scenario and ideas-ish so if Kishi uses them I'll sew his ass off (bad joke).
火火Story火火
As Naruto awoke with a yawn, he saw sunlight streaming through the window, this warm bright morning reflected exactly how Naruto felt inside (AN: Yes pathetic fallacy how cheap anyways) He got up and felt like a change so he decided to wear something different, so he put on an all black jumpsuit. As he left he decided to wear his forehead protector on his left wrist, when he did this strangely he saw that all his spiky blond hair fell around his face as he looked in the mirror before he left he felt that he looked pretty good. He headed to the usual rendezvous point with Kakashi and Sakura for training, when he arrived there he saw (no surprise) that Kakashi wasn't there but Sakura was, so he decided that he would use this time to have a private conversation with Sakura,
"Hey, Sakura."
"Oh-ah-Hi Naruto."
"Thanks for the card it was a bit late, but like they say it's the thought that counts!"
"Thanks Naruto..."
They stood there for a few minutes nobody talking, it seemed the awkwardness from last night was still there, Naruto decided to crack the silence,
"Listen I'm really sorry about yesterday – I mean I didn't mean to ermm – you know..."
Naruto trailed off on the last line really not knowing what to say, he stared at Sakura who seemed to be lost in thought blushing deeply. Now the situation seemed really awkward as he had brought up last night, they both stood there suddenly unable to look at each other until suddenly Sakura this time spoke,
"Naruto did you like last night?"
Caught completely unawares Naruto was completely taken aback, did I like last night an accidental kiss, fuck yes but why ask about it if it was an complete accident and I lost three teeth because of it. So he decided to tread carefully and see what she meant,
"Whaddya mean?"
She wouldn't meet his gaze but instead continued to look at the ground blushing deeper still,
"Well last night when we – when we?"
"Kissed?"
Sakura's faced blushed even deeper which Naruto had thought impossible her face also seemed to drop slightly was I really that bad Naruto watched her intently,
"Well yeah I did but it was still a total accident –"
"If – if it was going to happen again but this time it wasn't an accident would you like it?"
After saying this she looked up at Naruto with and unreadable face, she seemed happy but there seemed to be other emotions reflected in her eye's.
"Well yeah I guess so!"
She took a step towards Naruto and said quietly with a smile on her face blushing,
"I like your new clothes Naruto why'd you change?"
(AN: Because he is still wearing a bright orange jumpsuit when everyone else is wearing cool black suit's why the fuck else)
"Well I – uh – felt like a change."
She took another step forward and was almost right in front of Naruto,
"Wow what'd you do with your hair it looks really cool?"
(AN: She called Sasuke cool
She took another step forward and run her hands through Naruto's hair,
"Nothing much just took off my headband, wow I didn't notice until now but you've been growing your hair."
He took a daring step towards Sakura, as he did he put his hand inside his tools bag he quickly attached an explosive tag to a kunai then through it at a not to far off tree, the explosion made Sakura gasp and turn around just in time to see a flash of white hair disappear into the distance.
"Perverted old man…" Naruto mumbled thinking of 'come come paradise' He then saw a kunai heading towards him with a note stuck on it and caught it,
"Ten minutes eh…So where were we?"
He looked back at Sakura who was closer still; he started to feel nervous, is heart beating in his throat, he wondered if Sakura could also hear it. He had never seen Sakura this close up, he could see the sun reflected in her beautiful green eye's and he could hear her breathing, this made him even more nervous he could see her face rising to his. He remembered that he was taller than Sakura now but just by an inch or two. This reminded him of that incident so long ago when he had used Henge to transform into Sasuke, he felt this way then as well. Her face was getting closer to his. Her lips were so close. He could feel her moving in even closer. As she got closer the nervous feeling intensified and burned his insides urging him to move back, sweat trickled down his face as her hands came to rest on his chest. He was so close now all he could see was her closed eye's, his mind began to wander and he thought why Sakura had all of a sudden come onto him like this, true they had been a lot friendlier lately, they had gone out together alone a lot more lately come to think of it she had asked me what I was doing last week, she had asked me what I was doing on Valentines Day, but this was before Shino had pointed it out to me, shit! If only I made my move earlier but at that moment all negative thought was erased from Naruto's mind as once again, he was floating up on cloud nine. As their lips caressed each other time seemed to move slowly, Naruto wished that he could stay like this forever, as he slid his hand down her back, but unlike before, moments after their lips touched, Sakura broke away from Naruto with a worried look on her face and blushing like crazy,
"Naruto-kun, I – I – I have t – to go, I – I – I'm sorry Naruto-kun!"
Naruto was still in a state of shock from kissing Sakura again, but when he opened his eye's she'd disappeared. Surprised by this Naruto looked around to see where she'd gone but she appeared to be nowhere in the vicinity – suddenly he was struck on the head from behind by,
"Ouch!"
Naruto knew full well that only two people could hit that hard, one was Tsunade but why would she be here second was,
"Sakura! Wha - how'd you get behind me - weren't you just in front of me?"
"What are you talking about I just got here I wasn't here before? You must be seeing things being awake so early yawn."
"But – you – how – whaaa?"
"Where's Kakashi-sensei? I'm a little late so I expected him to be here."
"Didn't you see him before? He was spying on us when we were going to ki-"
"Naruto I still have no idea what you're talking about I haven't seen you since...last night."
After mentioning this Naruto could see that Sakura was blushing and she looked away from Naruto. Naruto was still very confused the person he was talking to five minutes ago must have been Sakura, because how else would they know about last night, I mean she was the only person there apart from,
"Hinata!"
"Er – what yawn what about Hinata?"
Naruto's mind just put two and two together (a rare occurrence), why 'Sakura' had been asking strange questions, and seemed surprised by last night, also she called me 'Naruto-kun' Sakura has never called me Naruto-kun come to think of it, The only person who ever called me that was Hinata, So the most probable conclusion is that Hinata used Henge to transform, it must be! She seemed to be acting strange, like Hinata usually does As Naruto's (perverted) mind came to a conclusion he decided after today's training that he'd talk to Hinata.

Later that day around five o'clock Naruto made his way towards the Hyuuga mansion. As he arrived he was greeted by Neji whom seemed to is be just leaving,
"Hey Neji, is Hinata around?"
"No I don't think so she left about an hour ago to do some training with Kiba and Shino, why?"
"Oh nothing in particular just wanted to talk about something..,"
He trailed off at the end because he started to feel embarrassed, also he had no desire to tell Neji of the bizarre happenings of the night before and this morning.
"Well I'm going, I've got a mission and I'm meeting the rest of my team at the gate, Chow"
Naruto now felt particularly weird as Neji leapt off towards the direction of the village, he had had a strange meeting with Hinata last night were he'd received a Valentines day present, then the next morning he appear to have met her. As he walked home thinking he had nothing better to do he pondered in thought about whether he should drop by Sakura's house on the way home or not. When it came to it he was too cowardly to walk to her door. He'd done it dozens of times before but this time it just felt weird because well, they'd kissed. As he reached the door of his house he scolded himself for not going to Sakura's door. He walked in, went to his cupboard and grabbed a cup of instant ramen. As he warmed it he thought of Hinata, as he ate it he thought of Sakura.

Unknown to Naruto two ninja we perched atop his house, Neji and Hinata. As Neji adjusted his clothing he questioned Hinata,
"Has he consumed the drugs yet?"
He spoke in a commanding way, which seemed very strange as Hinata was in the head family and he was in the branch. Strangely Hinata did not flinch at this, in fact she was almost motionless, when she spoke back it was somewhat robotic.
"No, I searched his mouth but alas no trace of it was there so I can only conclude that he hasn't consumed it, by the way there is no need for you to stay in that form, you aren't fooling anyone."
"The same can be said to you."
As both of them formed hand seals there was a puff of smoke, after it cleared it revealed two sound ninja. Both of them were fully blacked out with their headbands around their mouths, from what could be heard the Neji imitate was male and the Hinata one female. They were both quite young around fourteen or fifteen, also they each had a sword sheathed on their backs.
"Well sister we'll just have to wait until the seed is planted, I'm sure Orochimaru will regret giving use such a useful weapon."
"Well I'm leaving for today our plans could all go to waste if we're caught here, and once again brother remove the genjutsu you're fooling no-one."
"Fine, but it'd be fun to wreak some havoc."
As space seemed to warp around them their true forms were revealed, the brother had the same wear that the sound five and Sasuke sported, as did the sister, but theirs were different. First of all they were in all white, even the swords that they each sported were pure white, and second was the most shocking thing they both had scratches through their headbands. The brother had blue eyes and long blond hair, whilst the sister also had blue eyes but short black hair.
"Let's go, Juan may already have infiltrated Akatsuki, he could be waiting for our move."
"Right you are sister."
With that they both vanished into the evening dusk. (AN: Body flicker no jutsu I think)

Sakura was returning from Tsunade's office, she had just gone to check if Tsunade had any spare time to train her during the next three weeks, and Tsunade knew the exact reason why so had already prepared an answer for her. At today's training with Kakashi, he'd announced that there would be a mission, a recon mission to the grass country. If this mission proved successful then there could be an attack on Orochimaru's hiding place. This mission was just as important as the last one were they had finally met Sasuke. The moment that Tsunade told this mission to Kakashi she knew that Sakura would arrive sooner or later. Unluckily Tsunade was far too busy to train Sakura personally so she instead made sure that Shizune was able to train her. Pleased to be able to train with another medical ninja, she had set off for home. As she arrived home she met some unexpected visitors...

It was getting towards twelve in the night and Naruto could not get himself to sleep, despite wanting to sleep early to get to training on time tomorrow as he hadn't fully mastered his new jutsu, he had a million things going through his mind. But suddenly amongst the storm of thought a breeze blew in a clear picture overshadowing everything else.

Sasuke stood before Naruto half his body was drenched in blood and the top half of his clothing was completely destroyed. He had his Kusanagi sword drawn and had a Chidori Nagashi (current) running through his body, as Naruto stared down at himself he realized that he had slash marks on the entire top half of his body and he was almost completely drained of chakra no matter, I'll have to use that jutsu, it may risk loosing some of the Kyuubi's chakra but I'll have to risk it, Sasuke must be stopped here now! As he leapt backwards onto higher ground, so did Sasuke,
"Naruto you are a naïve fool to think that you can battle me too this level, you should realize that I have now advanced way past your league. We are no longer playing games Naruto I thought that I told you that at the valley of the end, nothing more shall be said, you will die (and I will obtain my true eyes)"
As Naruto stared at Sasuke a great Chidori Nagashi struck him from across the gap between them. His entire body was numbed and he couldn't move as the Chidori run through his body, he saw faintly Sasuke raising his hand. No, it can't end like this! I won't let it! It can't! SAKURA-CHAN! I WON'T LET IT! Suddenly six chakra tails sprouted from Naruto's body, as they were let loose they lashed around, sending cutting winds in all directions as Sasuke flew backwards from the sheer force of the chakra, he was struck in the chest by Naruto almost instantaneously, he then unleashed a combo of blows upon him finishing it off with a rasengan. As Sasuke rolled on the ground still recovering from the rasengan, the cursed seal began to slowly creep from his neck, Naruto had already lunged forward, his want to win had blocked out everything else, his body was far beyond his control, the Kyuubi wanted Sasuke's blood and Naruto couldn't stop him. Stop Naruto's body continued to charge towards Sasuke, stop The forced of the chakra was destroying everything in his path and soon it would destroy Sasuke STOP! Naruto's body was about 20 meters away there was nothing he could do to stop it-

"STOP!"
Naruto awoke drenched in cold sweat, breathing deeply It was just a dream, it was just a dream, it was just a dream Naruto continued to tell himself that as he lay in his bed, fearing to sleep incase of what nightmares it would bring.

"It would seem that the drugs weren't needed, it worked just as well"
"Well we were lucky that it worked sis otherwise we would have had to work extra hard later, but trhe drugs could come in handy later if he eats them anyway"
"Mission complete, shall we head back?"
"I think that we should?"
Once again space warped around them and they vanished into thin air.
火火Authors notes火火
So the end of a semi-long chapter some interesting new people introduced and shockingly people have defected from sound, what all would have thought impossible In the next chapter or the one after I'll introduce Naruto's new jutsu, but I have to wait for the manga to actually create it. Please review they helped before and they'd help even more now and do you like the idea of these ninja infiltrating Akatsuki and the sound village?
