Chapter 8: One hell of a Rescue Team.
Senryu: Thanks for all the reviews people!!!-Cry-!!!
Shiirya: oh and since you seem to like Cliffhangers so much…
Senryu: We'll continue with those-evilgrin-.
Shiirya: Anyways we do not own Naruto.
Senryu: So let's get on with the show!
The next day, everyone gathered at the northwest entrance to Konoha.
Everyone except Naruto…
Sakura sighed.
"Where
is he…?"
Kiba gave some food to the animals.
"Why don't we just leave him…?"
Hinata blushed.
"We can't do that! H-He's apart of this team after all…"
"We'll give him two more minutes…"
Hinata glanced at Shikamaru.
"H-Hai…"
Exactly one minute and fifty-nine seconds later, Naruto came bounding down the streets of Konoha making a dirt cloud in his wake.
"Hey you guys!!!!"
Ino stared at the boy.
"Naruto it's six in the morning! You'll wake up the whole neighborhood!"
Naruto screeched past them in an attempt to stop.
"Well come on! I'm ready to go! We're gonna be late if we wait any longer…"
Sakura and Ino punched Naruto into orbit.
"You're the one making us late baka!!!!"
…………………………………………………………
Naruto was back on the ground.
And the team began there journey…
Shinji was once again on Mikomi's back. He had grown accustomed to the fur.
"Oy Shinji…"
Shinji faced TonTon
"Yeah…?"
"Where exactly are we going…?"
In all honesty, Shinji was not entirely sure…
"Well…I guess we should be heading in the direction of the wind country…Then there was an ocean that we'd have to cross on the west coast…from there I'm not entirely sure, but our goal is an island on a cliff with a huge castle on it in the northern region of that ocean…"
Mikomi thought about something and frowned…
"Hey, TonTon does Tsunade know you're gone…?"
TonTon froze…
……………………………………………………..
Akamaru transferred the information to Kiba.
"Okay, TenTen is in a castle in the northern regions in the middle of some ocean on the west coast of the Wind country. So we are going to have to rent a ship somewhere…then we have to find an island on a cliff with a castle on it. TenTen should be in the highest tower…"
Neji looked at Kiba.
"Is that it…?"
"One more thing…apparently we are kidnapping the Hokage's pig"
Ino jerked her head at Kiba.
"WHAT?!"
Hinata tried to reason with the terrified Ino.
"I-It's okay Ino…We'll just bring him back and-"
Naruto was scared beyond comforting.
"Are you crazy?! TSUNADE WILL KILL US WE CAN"T GO BACK!!!
I'm too young to die…."
Sakura sighed…
"Naruto's right…we're doomed…"
Shikamaru stared at the falling apart team…even the animals were giving death glares at TonTon.
"Don't panic…guys...? Hello …guys…?"
………………………………………………………….
At sunset, the team made camp in a massive willow tree.
Shikamaru talked to Neji as they ate.
"You've been pretty quiet you know…"
Neji looked up.
"It's nothing…"
The Nara boy shrugged
"If you say so…"
Hinata stared at the two boys as they conversed.
'Neji has been quieter than usual ever since he remembered TenTen' she thought. '…Maybe he is depressed…'
"Hoi, Hinata! Watcha' doing?"
Naruto sprang from a huge oak tree (a jump that defies gravity and should have killed him…) did 2 ½ back flips (my, my, what an acrobat he is…) and landed perfectly in Hinata's face…
"N-N-Naruto-kun…?!"
Naruto stared right at the Hinata (whose face was a cherry).
"What are you doing here by yourself, Hinata…?"
"Um… I-I was just thinking about why N-Neji was so…um…sad…?"
Naruto processed what she said.
"Neji what's the matter? You have Hinata over here worrying about you!!"
Hinata was now a cherry times ten.
"N-Naruto…wait…"
Neji looked over confused.
"Forget about it Naruto…"
He whispered so softly that Shikamaru who was right next to him, did not hear a thing.
………………………………….
Three branches above them, Shinji, TonTon, Mikomi and Akamaru sat with Sakura, Kiba, and Ino. All seven of them watched the scene below.
"Poor Neji" sighed Ino.
"This is gonna be a long journey…"
Sakura looked at Kiba.
"…Yeah"
In the branches of the willow tree, eleven tired beings rested in the light of the moon, dreaming of what adventures await them the next day.
They would not be dreaming for long however, for in the bushes lay observant eyes.
"Captain there are seven humans, and four animals."
The man stroked his beard.
"Ok, move out. Be swift and try not to wake them…make sure to bind them tight, especially that boy with the long hair…he looks peculiar…"
