Chapter II
Run Shikamaru Run!
Shikamaru lay still on his bed. In his hand he held this green notebook with a twirl on the center. He stared at it for sometime.
He yawned.
I think I'll just read it after a good nap… he thought lazily.
He laid back the notebook, which was Naruto's diary, back on the table near his bed. He yawned again and tried to sleep.
CRASH! A loud noise startled him just as he was already settling into sleep. He immediately sat up from his sleeping position to see who or what made the noise.
He was startled.
"Godaime-sama?" Shikamaru whimpered.
"Oi Shikamaru… Sleeping on a good day like this? You should be on training…" Tsunade bossed him out.
"How troublesome…" Shikamaru whispered. He stood up from the bed and stretched his hands while yawning. Little tears formed in his eyes due to the yawning he had done.
"I am here to give you a mission…" Tsunade said.
Shikamaru crossed his brows.
"Didn't you say to me a while ago that I can rest today?"
Tsunade grew pale. "Did I tell you that?" She asked.
"Tsk… Whatever…" Shikamaru complained.
"Anyways, this is an emergency mission from Suna…" Tsunade explained. "I want you to go there and meet the Jounin they've assigned to be one of the examiners for the chuunin selection exams that will be held a year from now."
"Hnnn… Didn't you give that mission to Katetsu already?" Shikamaru asked. He is beginning to distrust this Tsunade.
Tsunade looked paler.
"I gave him another mission so you will take over UNDERSTAND!" Tsunade exclaimed. "By the way, what is that notebook over there?" Tsunade pointed toward's Naruto's diary that Shikamaru left on the table.
Very suspicious indeed… Shikamaru thought.
"Nothing, just a notebook…" Shikamaru said.
"Just a notebook ey…" Tsunade started to walk towards the notebook. "Let me see it…"
Okay… It's just a damn notebook after all… Shikamaru thought.
But then, another Tsunade entered from the window of Shikamaru's room.
"What the!" Shikamaru was shocked.
"Hey! What are you planning Imposter?" The second Tsunade shouted to the other one who was heading for the Diary.
Shikamaru immediately blocked the other Tsunade from reaching the notebook.
"I don't know what's happening… But I'm pretty sure that you are a fake now!" Shikamaru pointed his kunai over at the first Tsunade. "Tell me! Did you come for the Green Notebook!"
Drats… The first Tsunade bit her lips.
"I don't know what's inside this green notebook… But if a ninja tries to snatch it, it would mean that it is something important! Tell me who you are!" Shikamaru shouted at the first Tsunade.
KAGEBUNSHIN NO JUTSU! The first Tsunade shouted and cloned herself twice.
"You are very intelligent young man, seeing through my guise…" The First Tsunade stated. "But you'll never catch me!" She said and then tried to run off to the open window.
Kagemane no jutsu! Shikamaru released his shadow to try and catch the fake Tsunade but when his shadow reached his target, it turned out to be just one of the Kagebunshin.
"Oh no you don't! KATON: Goukakyuu no jutsu! The second Tsunade shouted and breathe a large ball of flame towards the fake Tsunade who was trying to get out of the window.
"Not my room!" Shikamaru shouted as the fire almost burned his bed.
Still, the fake Tsunade managed to escape.
"Sorry about that." The second Tsunade apologized. "As you can see, we received this report that a secret book has been spotted in Konoha by the Anbu squad. It was said that the note book belongs to a Ninja from Kiri (Hidden Mist)." She explained.
"Is that what this is?" Shikamaru asked as held the green notebook which is truly Naruto's diary.
"I can't be sure lest you show it to me… Now hand over the note book to me…" The second Tsunade ordered.
There was a moment of silence between the two.
"Well?... Will you hand it over to me?" Tsunade asked impatiently.
Shikamaru looked at the green notebook then back to Tsunade.
"You know, you did well in pretending to the Godaime…" Shikamaru hissed.
Tsunade's face turned serious.
"What do you mean?" She asked darkly.
"Since when did you start using a fire technique in pursuing a target? The real Tsunade-sama would rather use her brute strength in capturing someone." Shikamaru stated.
"Hmph… Since when did you know me that well to judge my actions?" Tsunade answered back.
Shikamaru yawned again.
"How troublesome…" He said. "While I was at the Godaime's office a while ago, she dismissed me as she was going to meet the Sand's Kazekage to discuss about the allied countries matters. A lot of important people and Daimyos will be there too… And you know what? The meeting is just on the building that you can see beyond my window!" Shikamaru shouted as he point towards the feudal Lords who were entering the building not far from his room's window.
Tsunade's sweat dripped over her cheeks.
"Very well, I'll just have to take the notebook from you by force!" She shouted and started to run towards Shikamaru.
"Too late…" Shikamaru said.
Tsunade was startled. She cannot move.
"While we are talking I already unleashed my shadow towards you to prevent sudden attacks or escapes…" Shikamaru said. He slowly raised his right hand and pointed towards his head. "I use this…" He tapped on his right forehead three times. The fake Tsunade also did the same.
Shikamaru then formed a hand seal and shouted Kage Kubi Shibari no jutsu… A shadow in a form of a hand started to creep down the fake Tsunade's body towards her neck.
But she just smirked.
"My, my, the genius has fallen into a trap…" Another voice from behind Shikamaru hissed. "I'm taking this now…" The first Tsunade has returned back and took the notebook from Shikamaru's arms. (As Shikamaru needs to use both hands for the seal, he clipped the notebook into his side by his left arm)
Damn… Shikamaru hissed. He removed the hand seal, which freed the other fake Tsunade from the shadow bind technique, and tried to get the notebook back. But he can no longer do so.
The other Tsunade pushed him aside and went out of the window together with the other Tsunade who is carrying the notebook.
(Sasuke's POV)
"Hahaha!... I didn't know it would be that easy!" Naruto laughed out loud. The plan I formulated indeed worked. Now I guess I can breathe easily…
I looked at the diary on my hand. It was the same as before. But I have a weird feeling about it…
"Enough Naruto…" I snapped at the blond who had his ass falling due to his laughter.
"Stop being so serious Sasuke! Hehehe…" He grinned back at me.
I think I blushed with humility.
So I opened up the diary…
My jaw dropped in disbelief.
"Why did you grow pale Sasuke?" Naruto asked me.
I gave the notebook to Naruto with my hands shaking.
"WHAT? Where are all my writings! Why are the pages blank?" Naruto shouted exaggeratedly.
Idiot…
"Because it's a fake!" I told Naruto. I threw a kunai towards the notebook and when it hit it, a thick smoke puffed out transforming the notebook into leaves. "Kawarimi…" I whispered.
"Wahhh! So that means we have to do it all over again?" Naruto complained.
"Yes… And I'm pretty sure it will be tougher this time around…"
Meanwhile…
Shikamaru was walking down the hallways of the Hokage tower. He was still holding the Green notebook (he put it inside a brown envelope with a sign: TOP SECRET) which had caused him a lot of trouble. He was planning to report it to the Hokage. But because she's gone for a meeting, Shikamaru thought of entrusting it to Shizune.
"Hi Shikamaru!" A girl greeted him down in the hallway.
It was Sakura.
"Hi Sakura, tell me… Did you see Shizune around?" Shikamaru asked.
"Shizune? I think she come to the meeting with Tsunade-sama… Why are you looking for her?" Sakura asked.
"Oh well, I think I'll just give this to you… Kindly give it to Tsunade-sama when she comes back from the meeting… Tell her it's urgent and that it needs immediate action. There's a letter inside of it that will explain everything to her…"
Sakura was startled at the long list of instructions Shikamaru led out.
"Very well…" Sakura made a confused smile.
Shikamaru then yawned and stretched his hands again.
"At last! I've gotten rid of that troublesome notebook… I can sleep now eventually…"
"Hnnn… I wonder what this envelope could be that it is so urgent." Sakura wondered.
She then walked back towards her study room looking at the envelope on her hands…
TO BE CONTINUED…
