I don't own Naruto I just love it!

Forewore:

Yo, this is the the third chapter of the series. This is an introduction of situations as the story begins. The actual mission is halfway done already and should be up in a couple of weeks(2 or 3). My friend did a drawing on one of the OC's that was made. That character is yet to be shown to you. Pls. Continue to send you reviews and comments and I have already said where the Village of the Tenshi will be located. I didn't use the Naruto world map, but I just plugged it in somewhere where it will be possible to act like it should. There are still a lot of grammar problems in here so bear with me.

Chapter Three: The teams and their lives. A journey begins, so does a story.

It was bad day for Hyuuga Hiashi, who was seeing his nephew Neiji off before the young Hyuuga began his mission. He was concerned for his nephew. He had taken upon himself to protect and take care of his troubled nephew ever since his father's death. Yet, here he was watching him waste away with his sorrow. His lips turned to a frown as he blamed the council traitors. Yes, he like most of the newly created council did not view the entire situation of the village or the people as Naruto's fault. He, like the new council knew that there was nothing the blond could do, but ride out what had happened. He could not say however for his fellow villagers.

For him it was a disappointment to see the entire village in such hateful stature. The blond was innocent in all of this and the entire thing was the fault of the council that had betrayed him. Although he did not want to admit it, he could not help this thought.

"It seems Konoha is not worth the innocent boy's life." Hiashi thought as he looked at his nephew. To him, there was one of the people who could not be blamed for the incident. He was sure wherever Naruto was the kind blond jounin had already forgiven him and the villagers. The blond was never the one to bear grudges and plant hatred in his heart, unlike other people.

Hiashi knew that Neiji respected Naruto so much. The two of them were friends and were in all respecting each other like brothers ever since the successful defeat of the Sound and Akatsuki where they retrieved Uchiha Sasuke and Sabaku no Gaara. Naruto was the one who brought them back safe and sound. Naruto's death on other means would have not affected Neiji that much, but to die at his friend's hand is something that he had trouble accepting. It was not that easy for him to see his friend die, especially if that friend died of a betrayal at his own hand. That would kill Neiji's spirit and that was something that was not easy to repair. Hiahshi sighed as he approached Neiji knowing how he would react, but he dared to anyway.

Neiji stood there not caring about what was going on in his life. His life was dedicated to being free from fate. Naruto had taught him this lesson as the blond nin defied his own distasteful fate. All that ended when he died by his hands. He felt as if he had not right to live and be here, while Naruto, whom had trusted him and taught him about life and living, lied somewhere else dead and lifeless while retaining his innocence as he had lost it to his own blind obedience. Never was there a day that he never regretted what he had done. He should have reasoned with Naruto and told the Hokage first, but instead he obeyed with full support to a council whom he didn't know would ask him to betray his best friend for no good reason his friend. He appreciated the others' efforts to get him to talk, but there was no way he would for he believes that he had lost the right to live. Being in Naruto's favorite place was all he needed to remind him of his deeds, but his reminiscing and thoughts self punishment was cut off when he felt some one approach.

"Neiji?" Hiashi said as the young Hyuuga turned and bowed which the elder man returned courteously. The two talked as the rest of the team assembled a Ichiraku's(correct spelling?). This was the favorite place of Naruto when he was alive. It was no wonder that Jiraiya, who was Naruto's teacher and father figure chose this place to gather. They knew it had an effect on Neiji, but the Hyuuga rarely talked if ever he did talk. Tenten looked at her friend and was filled with pity.

"It's hard to see Neiji like this." Tenten said as she sat a few chairs away from Neiji. This drew the attention of two people.

"Don't worry about him Tenten, he will get over it eventually" Gai said as he looked at Hiashi and Neiji speaking. Lee nodded as Jiraiya spoke alerting them of his presence.

"Time heals all wounds that is not meant to be there, but if the wound is intentional it will never heal." Jiraiya said as the former Frog sanin of Konoha arrived with Tsunade at his side.

"Ohayo Jiraiya sama. Tsunade sama." Gai said as nins bowed to the two. Jiraiya retained a serious look while Tsunade smiled and greeted them. They were here for the final orders on what they would do once they arrived.

"Okay, Team 11. You have the following mission objectives. One you are to escort Jiraiya to the Villlage of the Tenshi. Next, you are to deliver this to Kazekage on the way. Kakashi's team 7 will be on their way to the Tsuchikage with the scroll bearing the news of the meeting. Shino, Kiba, Shikamaru and Chouji will head towards the the Grass with the news of the meeting. Any questions?" Tsunade said as Tenten raised her hand.

"Tsunade sama, may I ask as to why these particular villagers are being informed and not all of the other villages?" Tenten asked while Tsunade looked at Jiraiya who answered the woman's question.

"The village of the Stone, Grass and the Sand have good relations with the Tenshi. It would be considered an act of betrayal if we did not inform them of Konoha's dealings with the Tenshi. The Tenshikge is persistent with maintaining good relations with it's friends. Withing proper terms of course." Jiraiya said as Gai played back Kaknkuro's remark about the Kazekage.

"Jiriaya sama, Kankuro san said that only those who have permission from a member of the Tenshi or the Kazekage. If that is so then how will we enter the village?" Gai said while Jiraiya frowned a bit as Tsunade shot him a look that said 'you better have an explanation or I will kill you' every second that she looked at him. Unfazed by her glare Jiraiya answered Gai's question.

"It's simple. You speak the password and you have a signature from one of the recognized people. Also as long you are with me there should be no problem, provided I'm conscious of course." Jiraiya said as Gai nodded. Hiashi looked Jiraiya. There was something that was bothering him.

He like any other clan head did a research on any new village that would come along. They needed to know if any member of that village would become a suitable partner for their children may it be male or female. According to what he had dug on the Tenshi they had a person they called Tenshikage. No one outside the village save a select few ever saw the nin leader with out his face mask on. The village according to people was very safe. Of course there were crimes, but then again they would always get the criminals. What disturbed him was the rumor going around about the village. People said that the village was the nesting grounds for many missing nins. He continued his thoughts as he began the journey home in silence not noticing the same vendor as before was sitting near them with his items for sale.

"I hope that Candyman is doing better than." Merchant sighed at the little amount of information he got. He would have to wait for the rest to get their info before he made his delivery and left the village. Sighing from under his straw hat he hoped that his partners were already done. Unknown to him his other companion had somehow hit the jackpot.

"Good! A loud and brash chuunin today. I'll just have to stand here and wipe the dishes while they speak." Candyman thought as he stayed in a restaurant with four nins in front of him. One looked very lazy, the other had a large white dog, the other a bug user and one person that was a tad bit chuby for his own good. He listened as he wiped the dish in front of him.

"Well! We got a mission to go to the Grass village! Yahoo! I bet not even Naruto got this kinds of mission!" Kiba said to Shikamaru and the rest of his team mates. The only problem was he was so loud that almost everyone could hear him.

"Quiet down Kiba. Hinata won't notice you even though you act like Naruto." Shikamaru said as the dog trainer frowned and sat down much to Candyman's dismay. Fortunately for him he hid this and continued in wiping the dish in front of them.

Shino looked at his old team mate. He was not stupid. He knew about why he was like that. Hinata had taken Naruto's death so bad that she didn't go on dates with Kiba anymore. Kiba however did not want that to continue, so for the past five or so years he has been hard at work trying to become like Naruto, but then again any one who was around Naruto knew that Kiba was only acting to be like Naruto, while Naruto truly was Naruto. He hoped that his team mate got over this and decided to help Hinata in his own way. He wondered if the other teams were given assignments like they were.

In a place some distance away Shikamaru's guess was right. Team 7 was given a similar mission to them.

"So we have a similar assignment as Shikamaru kun's team." Sakura said as she sat with her fiancée Uchiha Sasuke and their superior jounin sensei Kakashi. They were at the team 7 training grounds when Tsunade informed them about their new mission via messenger who dashed of at once to carry another message.

"Team 7 you are to go to Village of the Stone in earth country. There you will deliver an important message to the Tsuchikage who is a friend of the Tenshi. The letter that you will deliver must arrive there within Two months. The letter is not to be opened except by the Tsuchikage. Any obstacles are to be removed at once if they even try to hinder your progress." Tsunade's letter said as Sakura read the lines again.

"Interesting mission" Sakura said excitedly as she was eager to see a new village. One that she hoped was still untouched by the times and the conditions of the outside world.

"Hai, Hai. The village of the Tenshi is a new village. There is relatively very few things that we know about it. We don't even know the name of their kage, besides this would make an interesting place to learn a few new things. Ne Sasuke kun?" Kakashi said as the Uchiha smiled while Sakura frowned.

Sasuke and Kakashi noticed the frown and gave her a concerned look. Kakashi decided to leave knowing that only Sasuke could help Sakura. Making another lame excuse he left, leaving a grateful Uchiha who stood beside Sakura as he walked with her towards her house. He waited for her to speak and much to his relief and his sorrow she did.

"You know he always liked to try and learn new things. Naruto I mean. He was always energetic and happy. It seemed that nothing could take him down. He had lived through hell and become stronger. Even if it has been long I can still remember the times we had together. They were so full of joy for us." Sakura said as Sasuke groaned.

"Joy for the two you maybe, but not for me." He thought as he walked beside her. Their relationship was still marred by Sakura's past. She couldn't even put it in her heart to forget him even thought the young blond had been gone for a long time. Time and time again he could see Naruto beat him at every turn. From the time that they took the jounin exam together to the day that Sakura finally agreed to be the blond's girlfriend much to his anger and jealousy. What drove him even to become angrier was that even in death Naruto seemed to out do him. It seemed that Sakura would forever hold Naruto close to her heart. Not willing to completely give he tried something.

"Sakura, to be fair Naruto was always and will always be a competent shinobi. Nothing others do or say about him can show us otherwise, but isn't it just right that you bury him in the past? Must you always remember him and not me?" Sasuke said hiding his anger at the blond's memory with his concern for Sakura, but he was actually concerned that Naruto was the one who was dominant in her heart. Sakura merely bowed her head and waited till she was at her home to speak towards the Uchiha nin.

"Sasuke, how can you say that we forget him? We are his friends. True, we can not live in the past, but that takes time to happen. He taught us long ago that forgiveness comes with time and patience. So does success and love. Did he not live those years of hate and bitterness of Konoha and live to show them what he could do? To those who hated and persecuted him did he not forgive them over time. Does this not tell you how hard it is to forget a man so noble and so kind? Sorry Sasuke if my walking in the past pains you, but for me it is not easy to forget the pain that I felt for the loss of the one that I love. More so I can not help, but feel hatred towards myself while I blamed myself at the lack of courage and dedication I showed towards my love. Time and time again he asked my hand in marriage, but my passiveness and my lack of will to sacrifice my life and benefits as a single allowed me to miss my chance to be with him. Tell me now how can you stand to say that it is so easy when you have not been in love with him. Have you become his love? No, for you only saw him from the distance while I saw him so close to me. No, Sasuke. I can not and will not forget Naruto. To forget him is to forget the things that I learned from him. That I will not allow. If you can not stand my memory of him then stay away Sasuke. For the memories of things that I have shared with him will always be here with me, forever until I die." Sakura said as she left a brooding Sasuke in front of her home as she entered it without looking at Sasuke. The raven haired nin just looked angry and took out his frustrations on a nearby trash can spooking the cat that walked on top of the fence.

"Damn you Naruto dobe!" Sasuke thought as he kicked the can out of anger. No matter what he did he would never be good enough to replace him or do better than Naruto. He walked home for tomorrow they would begin their mission to the Village of Stone. Inside someone was crying.

"Naruto! I miss you!" Sakura wailed as she then fell to her bed crying. It seemed the farther and longer Naruto was gone it seemed the stronger she felt for him. She stopped sobbing as she realized something.

"Maybe this is what they meant when they sad that the longer the person is gone then the more you will miss them." Sakura still was still sobbing as she went to sleep so that she could go to her mission with a clear head.

Unknown to them before the mission began, several other teams were being dispatched with different orders.

"Gai ron, take one squad of chuunins with you and met with Jiraiya once he enters our territory. They must be watched. We can't afford the loss of an advisor to our village." A man wearing ta white garments said as he pointed to a man who had a large sword with a face that was not seen as he bowed, but he was smiling as he bowed to his commander.

"Not to mention that his wife and your eldest son would kill you if anything happened to him." Gai ron said as he smiled under a collection of short and brown hair. His superior just tried to look innocent, but much to his amusement he was not able to.

"Err.. Yeah, that too." He said as Gai ron stood and left with no knowledge as to what was going to happen, but he would not let that deter him. He wanted to do what he asked of him. He was unaware of what was going on somewhere else.

In a mansion that belonged to Orochimaru, the man who was once hailed as the leader of the sound a squad of his most trusted men gathered to hear his newest order.

"Kabuto kun, lead two squads of Chuunins and Jounins to attack the envoy to the Kazekage.. They must not survive!' Orochimaru said.

"Hai Orochimaru sama!" Kabuto shouted as he turned to signal his squad

"Ha!Ha!Ha!" Orochimaru shouted as he laughed his head off while his nins were moving. It seemed that if would finally begin.

In some distance away Kakashi was looking at the memorial made for those who were killed in the line of duty for Konoha. Kakashi looked at the list and focused on his long dead student. To him there was nothing as sad for a sensei than this kind of situation. To lose one's own student to his own village that he had protected for so long. Naruto was long dead, but something inside of Kakashi told him other wise. He spoke softly as he stroked the memorial.

"Are you really dead Naruto?" Kakashi asked as his mind wandered. The wind blew towards the sea where a man was walking in the streets of his village. The man was the leader of the Tenshi. He turned around once he felt the wind pass. He knew what the wind said, but for now he would ignore it and place at the back of his mind for now his village came first. His home, his home and his family were all here in the village where the Angels reside.

Epilouge: There I have done somemore introductions of some plots and then some problems of some people. Then we will actual story is supposed to start from here as the preparation is made for the departure and the arrival in the Village of the Tenshi. there will be some action in the following ones. The ones that will follow will take longer than usual to update since I think it will be longer and harder to correct. ( i'm not good at writing action scenes
