Chapter Six: The teams and the meetings
In the morning as the sun broke the silence for the dawn. Inuzuka Kiba was severely shocked when he was suddenly thrown out of his bed towards the doorway. In his anger he and the now large Akamaru tried to attack the the person who woke them only to be bonked on the head by Shikamaru.
"Wake up dufus! It's 4:00 am and the sun's up earlier than expected." Shikamaru said to Kiba as he left Shino in charge to wake Kiba up if he decides to fall asleep again while he proceeded to have an audience with the Tsuchikage in the planning room. Inside he found the Tsuchikage with a little white ferret on his shoulder.
"Tsuchikage sama, please forgive the delay, but.." Shikamaru began, but was cut off by the Tsuchikage who suddenly looked distressed as a second later a fully clothed and fed team of Tenshi Anbu lead by Gai-ron entered the room ready for movement and mobilization.
"Sorry, but we must keep our introductions and apologies for later." the Tsuchikage said interrupting Shikamaru who with the rest that was already assembled looked at the distressed look that he sported as he marked a straight forward root to the Suna village cutting their travel time by several hours.
"Really Tsuchikage sama? Judging by the way you have marked the map it seems that we are to leave for the Suna immediately." Gai-ron said looking at the map that was there on the table with a long line of marbles marking the straight line that they would take towards the Suna. The Tsuchikage nodded while in his kage robes.
"Yes according to my friend here." The Tsuchikage gestured to his old ferret friend "Itachi" whom he sent to follow the Sound nins who were gathering supplies.
"Kabuto, who is the leader of the Sound nin infiltration and assassination squad bound for the Suna, has just decided to speed up their time table. Apparently two of their nins had spotted the Hyuuga accompanying you and decided to trail you where the presence of the Konoha nins covered the the presence of the Sound nins in which they were able to determine the presence of the Tenshi shinobis. They depart at exactly Five am." the Tsuhikage said as he looked at the map.
"According to Itachi, the entire Sound unit is stationed here inside the waterfall where in lies a discreet exit cutting their travel time by twelve hours if they can cross it." the Tsuchikage said as he prodded on a small location of the map following a river that directly curves around the borders of Wind country.
"Naturally Kabuto would place explosive tags or traps in that area in case of intruders." Gai-ron said as he and Shikamaru gave their inputs.
"So we will cut our travel time by at least an hour behind the Sound nins rather than just twelve hours if went on the straight line that you dotted for us Tsuchikage sama." Sikamaru added as Gai-ron disagreed.
"No, Nara san. The cave itself is not a straight line. There are many curves and they shouldn't be able to move as freely as we can since by my guess that the size of the caves proves to be difficult to maneuver through. It's probably very small." Gai-ron said as the Tsuchikage agreed to his thoughts.
"True, it is difficult to maneuver through these caves, but the time travel nonetheless will be cut by at least ten hours despite that. The other reason and the only most probable reason that they are going to use these caves is because there inside the cave they can't be spotted which is wrong since animals like Itachi here see everything yet are ignored by most people." the Tsuchikage mentioned while he allowed Itachi to sleep on his shoulder. Both squad commanders would be in deep thought for a few seconds before they came up with an idea.
"We leave exactly an hour after Five." Shikamaru said as Gai-ron continued.
"So that they won't suspect a leak if ever"
"Then we should be able to arrive there sometime before they do and then get ourselves some rest and after that"
"When they arrive they are dead meat to us and our forces." Gai-ron finished.
The teams then moved to gather their things and much to Shikamaru's annoyance he told his team that they would be leaving earlier than expected. Hinata took it well, but decided to leave once Shikamaru decided to deal with Kiba who began whining since they were leaving earlier. While she was walking she bumped into Gai-ron and his squad.
"Welcome Gai-ron sempai." Hinata greeted courteously as Gai-ron motioned for his men to inspect their belongings. The leader went in front of Hinata and greeted with equal respect.
"Ano Gai-ron sempai how is life the village of the Tenshi?" Hinta began striking a conversation with the Tenshi nin.
"Please don't call me that Hinata san. Just call me Gai-ron." The brown haired man replied while trying to be polite.
"Gomen Gai-ron san, but can you please tell me how life is like in the village of the Tenshi?" Hinata asked curious about the lives of others outside of Konoha, but unfortunately she could not as Shikamaru entered with a rather annoyed, but ready Kiba while Shino stood behind him equally ready.
"I think it would be best if we continue this conversation after the mission Hinata san. Sayonara for now, but duty calls." The Tenshi nin said as he bowed and moved to his team. When both teams were already their leaders lead the teams to their paths as they hoped they would be able to reach there on time as others hurried to their tasks.
"Hey Sasuke kun! Move fast!" Haruno Sakura, chuunin of the Leaf shouted to her husband who was behind Kakashi as she sprinted to the Village of the Grass in excitement to get her mission done.
Kakashi was glad to see his only female student move cheerfully. As she had lost a man that she had deeply loved. It was a good thing that now at least she would have a reason to smile. Unknown to her she would be meeting someone who would disturb the life of someone she cared about.
"Tou san hurry up!" a little girl with neat short black hair in a kimono shouted to her father who was busy along with her older brother, who was Five years old and was Kenji's best friend, carrying all the things that they had been shopping for. Her mother only laughed at her husband and her son as her red eyes look jovially at the father and son. The two however did not share the same amusement that the two carried for the situation.
"Kaa chan, this isn't funny! I can barely see with all the clothes that you have shopped for!" the little boy with brown hair shouted. At this the father maneuvered his hand to smack the boy behind his head.
"That is no way to talk to your mother young man!" the father shouted as the boy whined about 'slave labor' as his mother and his sister laughed as the father lectured the son about how much a man should do for the woman that he loves. The two other women laughed as they approached a rather popular restaurant in the village of the Grass. Unknown to the men the mother and wife looked at a locket with the shape of a heart. The little girl beside her thought it was a picture of her father and her mother, but had she been taller she would have seen that inside held a younger picture of her mother and a man with silver hair and an eye patch over his right eye. As the woman closed the locket she glanced at her husband she wondered when the time was right if she would choose him over her previous love. She wondered how would she feel like without him by her side as he always was, but more importantly did she feel anything for him? For now she was happy and content at having him by her side.
"C'mon you two." The mother motioned as her husband smiled, but inside he felt a bit disappointed and worried about the relationship between him and his wife. He was no fool, but he would deal with it when she was ready.
He never could understand his wife. There were times that they simply loved each other, but then there were times when they would dislike each other, although its her most of the time that hated him.
Inside of his wife he felt that there was extreme hatred towards him. That he was nothing more than a replacement and that she was only using him as a temporary crutch. Still he had hoped and believed in the words that she had said to him that she loved him, that he was the most important thing in her life, that he was her joy life and sadness and he was her center and the existence that continued to help her exist.
For now he smiled with his children as they left for the Barbeque restaurant. When the family had left the team from Konoha passed by the same spot as two people who once loved each other did not feel the presence of the other, as they recognize something that they should have a long time ago. They had somehow moved on and forgotten their old lives, but not fully. While two people tried to bury the past.
"Kakashi sensei who are we going to meet?" Sakura asked not having to the Grass that many times. She wondered what kind of people she and her team would meet.
