"How troublesome...a visitor on Sunday morning" said the young chunin. He got up and answered the door.

"SHIKAMARU! Your really smart so I thought you could help me out with this thing, you see, Sakura sent me a package last night even though she was dead, or we all thought she was dead but she's not and she's in grave danger so-"

"Slow down Naruto. What do you mean Sakura is not dead?"

"I MEAN THAT SHE'S STILL ALIVE AND THAT SHE'S BEEN KIDNAPPED BY ANBU!"

"Naruto ANBU are the good guys remember? And if Sakura's still alive then what did they bury at her funeral?"

"Shikamaru! You're not listening! Look! LOOK! This package was sent by H.S right? That is for Haruno Sakura. Ok? Ok? And look at the date! It was sent after she died! AFTER! And look at these pictures! Look at the dtae and time in the corner of each and everyone! And in each picture is an ANBU guy!

"The camera could have gotten the dates wrong and maybe she took pictures WITH that guy."

"Then Shikamaru, Mr. Smart-EEE, what about this letter?"

Naruto handed Shika the letter. Shika carefully examined it and after a couple of minutes spoke up.

"Hmm...well you can't tell for sure by the blurry parts, but she may still be alive..."

"May? What do you mean? She said that she WAS still alive!"

"Yes but there is also the word captive and if she is the one who is being held captive, then well, they might have already killed her... Naruto give me the pictures."

"Ok Shika, but I have to tell you that arranged them into 2 different ways. One of the forest and one of the village!"

"Naruto tell me how you laid them both ways."

Naruto walked into Shika's house and carefully laid out the pistures.

"First I put them in order by date and time. See?"

Naruto took the pictures and placed them in order.

"You're right Naruto. There is the waterfall, and there is the clearing."

"Then I saw that I could arrange them into the village."

Naruto switched the pictures around.

"Naruto, you dumbass. If that's the village then what is this big clump right here?"

"I'm not a dumbass! This is my house, this is Ichiruka's Ramen, and here is Granny Tsunade's building, and this is the academy!"

"Then where is the Training ground, the spa, and the market place?"

Naruto stared at the picture for a while then pointed to a part of the map.

"This is the spa, and here is the market place. The training ground is...right here!"

"Wrong. The spa is supposed to be closer to the training ground and the market place is right in front of Tsunade-sama's building."

Naruto groaned.

"I guess it's the forest then."

"Well let's go!"

"Hold on Naruto. We can't go there by ourselves. We need a team."

Naruto groaned again.

"Well Shika who are we going to take? Everyone in your old team is out on a mission and everyone in my team is..."

Naruto got quiet.

"Well then we'll have to take anyone we find."

"What?"

"Hey its better than nothing."

"Hmph. Fine then!"
