ARIGATOU to all my fantastic supporters. This has been such a hard chapter for me to write, as you all see….i even know how I'm going to end this fanfic, but I just can't write this part…
Sorry for the spelling mistakes, the spellcheck on my computer sorta –disappeared- and I am checking as best as I can (wah!! i'm still young!!)
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, if I did, then this would probably happen!-----------------------------------
Everything was in a state of confusion in Tsunade's office. The normally neat and crisp desk was strewn over with wayward papers and broken pencils. Mission reports and plans were stuffed in one corner while important village matters were on the other. Between all those were…let's just say it wasn't too pretty. Thirteen ninja stood amongst the mess. Head count, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzimaki Naruto, Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, Akamichi Chouji & Ino, Hyuuga Neji & TenTen, Aburame Shino, Rock Lee, Nara Shikamaru & Temari, and Hatake Sakura.
Tsunade stared at all the ninja standing in front of her. As she spoke, her voice was strong and clear, but with a whisper of nervousness.
"Alright. As you see we have a problem. A new uprising in Suna is occurring as we speak. It seems that a military leader has risen above his appointed post and has decided to rebel. Any questions?"
All of the ninja merely shook there heads slightly and continued to glare at the blond. Tsunade cleared her throat and continued.
"It seems that Gaara, the Kazekage as you know, needs our help. I have decided to dispatch you into separate groups. Now listen closely, here are the plans…"
the next day
"Are you ready, Hinata?"
"H..hai, K..kiba-k..kun."
Kiba watched as his thin teammate hoisted her bag onto her back, she hadn't packed much, but all the same, he was worried. He sighed, they would be leaving in approximately half an hour.
"Oi! Are you guys ready yet? We've got a mission to accomplish, dattebayo! (A/N: one of the rare places I make Naruto say "dattebayo")
Naruto was full of energy and eager to get started on the mission. Sasuke stood beside him, eyes staring unmovingly into the distance. Without warning, he raised his hand and bopped Naruto over the head.
"H-hey! What was th-"
"Be quiet you baka. You're annoying "
"RRRR…"
"Shut up you! It's no use. You're an idiot and will always be."
"How dare you! I'll be Hokage, just wait you see!"
"You idiot…"
As the two went on bickering, Kiba sighed hopelessly again. It was just like the old times, Naruto hates Sasuke and Sasuke hates Naruto. A pale hand suddenly made him turn away. Light lavender eyes stared up at him.
"L..let's go, K..kiba-kun."
"Ah..er…ok. C'mere, Akamaru!"
Kiba put his hand around Hinata's should her and hugged her before taking her hand as they walked to the bench where Naruto and Sasuke were fighting. The couple stared at the two idiots who were arguing.
"NARUTO NO BAKA!!! SASUKE NO BA-WAUGHH!!!!"
As Kiba was yelling at them to cease their fighting, both tackled him since he called them both "baka". Hinata, followed by Akamaru, gingerly stepped aside and looked at the situation in front of them.
"Oh d..dear.."
BAM. All three guys suddenly flew apart. Hyuuga Neji stood there in Gentle Fist stance. Flaming blue chakra eminated from his hand. He glared sternly at all the jounin men.
"Don't you have a mission to accomplish?! Now get going! Do you understand?!!!"
"Er..um..yes, sir!"
"Ow…fine, fine…IT'S NOT OVER YET, SASUKE!!"
"…"
All three guys jumped up after the Hyuuga clan leader's barking. (A/N: Don't kill me. Hinata was supposed to be leader, but she was sick and all, so Neji took over her role until she was ready to assume the position.) Neji turned on his heels and walked back to the Hyuuga manor. All four stared back at him, then Naruto started snickering.
"Must be getting on his nerves; since he couldn't go on the mission, he's useless!"
"Baka, you know he's better than you, so you don't have to taunt him."
"KIBA!!! JUST WAIT YOU SEE, I'LL BE-"
You better not be fighting again…. a cold voice rang out from the wind as they started to argue. All three broke out into sweat as Hinata giggled as her cousin materialized in front of them.
"Er…NO SIR!"
"…good..NOW GET GOING, YOU GOOFBALLS!!"
"YESSIR!"
Neji disappeared and without further ado, all four ninja and a dog leaped over the houses to the village gate.
-------------------------------------
"Shikaa-kuuun, are you done yet?!"
Temari called out to her husband as she pulled her bag over her shoulders. Her son, Jiro peered over the low table that was currently under the weight of over 30 pounds. His gleaming, onyx eyes looked up at his purple-clad mother. He watched silently as his mother stomped up the stairs to yell at her husband. Then he rolled onto the floor and fell asleep. Yes, this child has his daddy's genes. Upstairs, Temari was dragging Shikamaru off the bed that he fell alsleep on and pushed him down the stairs.
"WE HAVE A MISSION, LAZY-BUM!!! NOW GET OVER THERE BY THAT DOOR!!!"
Jiro was still asleep on the floor. He must be used to this. Temari's look softened as she walked down the stairs and tucked Jiro into his blanket. Just as she finished, a knock came from the door.
"Eh! It's Sakura and..uh…Shino!"
"Oh! Ok, come on in."
Sakura and Shino let themselves in and stopped in the living room to survey the messy house. Neither of the couple (Shikamaru&Temari) noticed them gawking at how messy the place was. Finally, it was Sakura who said:
"Er…we have a mission in a half hour…unless you're busy.."
Her voice trailed off as she saw Shikamaru lurch to his feet and stumble sleepily towards the door. From a distance, Temari shook her head and sighed.
"That's my lazy husband,. Always sleepy. He'll wake up soon enough, now I just need to get Jiro over to the Hyuugas."
With that, she slapped Shikamaru on the back of the head. That instantly woke him up. He looked over grumpily at Temari.
"Troublesome woman…"
"C'MON WE HAVE A MISSION JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN"T NOTICE!!!"
"Fine, fine..what a drag…"
"ARR..never mind.."
Sakura looked uneasily at the couple.
"Um, we should get going now…"
All four ninja disappeared with a poof of smoke.
---------------------
In the distance, a tall man with raven black hair looked over the village of Konoha. Beside him, stood a shorter figure with cerulean eyes and blond hair.
"We'll destroy them…won't we, Naruto..?"
"Hai, sensei.."
With that, master and apprentice disappeared into the trees above.
----------------------------
BEST CLIFFY IN THE WORLD!!! Hehe, betcha that you never thought THAT would happen. Oh well, you'll just hafta wait. everything will clear up in some coming chapters. I have lots of ideas now…oh and if it was confusing…Konoha is sending 2 teams out to Suna. Team One: Sasuke, Naruto(??), Hinata, Kiba (&Akamaru, duh). Team 2: Temari, Shikamaru, Sakura, Shino.
Please review, it'll help me:3
