Disclaimer-I would think that by the third chapter you'd get the point, but in case you are like me who can sometimes be a little slow on the intake then I'll say it again. I don't own Naruto.

I got nice reviews last chapter, which made me very happy. People agree with me that homework takes forever! Anyway, I thank everybody who did review and I hope for more on this chapter.

Ok and now for the recap!

-----Recap-----

They're so weird...I wonder what they''re gonna be like when we actually start the mission? Sakura thought after looking over them a second time.

I can tell this is not going to be just a 'for fun' kind of mission. Sasuke thought after doing the same.

Naruto's thoughts had nothing but One of these days I am so going to kill Sasuke... over and over again so we'll just skip his mind.

"So... who's ready to begin the mission?" Kakashi said after like 10 minutes of silence.

Everyone just nodded and stood up, waiting to hear of the mission that they've been waiting to hear about since the sun first came up.

-----End Of Recap-----

Well that's it for that! Now to the story!

Chapter 3: Assassination Of The Rain Village Ninja

In The Middle Of The Forest

Kakashi turned to look at each person standing before him. Then with a sigh, he finally said, "So, we'll start by putting this mission into simple terms and then moved to the more complicating explanation."

"Fine, fine whatever! Just get to the point already!" Naruto was getting impatient.

"Well then to put it simply, you are all going to stay at an island not far outside of Konoha."

Naruto raised an eyebrow but said nothing because out of the corner of his eyes, he could Sakura giving him an 'if you open your mouth and complain one more time you're gonna wish you were never born' glare.

"Ok, now for the more complicated explanation..." Kakashi said.

Everyone just sat in silence and waited for Kakashi to go on.

"Ok, today's mission is a 'C' ranked mission and it is basically an investigation. Now, I guarantee this investigation will not take just one day to complete so be prepared to be there for a while. It would be best if you went home after this conversation and packed so we could start this as soon as possible. You with me so far?"

Everyone nodded slightly. Another mission away from home...great. At least I'll be with Sasuke-kun. Sakura thought as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Wait...what kind of investigation?" Naruto said thinking of all the kinds they could be going on, hoping that the one they'd be going on wasn't something boring.

"I'm getting to that. Anyway, the mission will be taking place on an island a little offshore from Konoha as I said before. You will be looking for any clues that lead to an explanation of how a certain assassination took place on that island."

An assassination investigation? Hmm maybe this won't be so dumb after all. Sasuke thought with a smirk. (Wow...assassination investigation is a bit of a mouthful, don't you think? )

"An assassination? Who was killed?" Naruto asked after thinking about it.

"So many questions! Can't you people show some respect and wait till the end to ask questions?" Kadame was getting really bored just listening to people talk.

"Kadame...would you rather them shut up now and then ask you questions later?" Kade said trying to calm Kadame down even though he too, was tired of so many questions.

"..." Kadame said nothing, realizing Kade had a good point.

"...k. Anyway, to answer your question, we really don't know who he was...just that he was a chounin and was on an important mission when he died. Although we did find a headband with the rain village symbol on it. We haven't been able to come in contact with the rain village, but we do know they've requested our help since the island is closest to us." Kakashi said.

"Ok, now any questions?" Kadame was hoping that the answer to her question was 'no'. But unfortunately for her, a hand shot up. Darn, so close yet so far away!

"Hey, why did the rain village start a mission near us anyway?" Naruto asked out of nowhere.

"Because they felt like it. Ok, moving on. Any more questions?" Kadame said without a breath in the middle. Please say no. Please say no.

"..." silence.

YES! NO MORE QUESTIONS! "Ok then! Everybody go pack your bags and eat dinner! See you at five. Bye!" Kadame ran of, pulling Kade behind her.

(Crickets)

"Ooook? I guess that means we should all get ready then? Well you guys at least..." Kakashi said watching Kadame sprint away.

Nobody said anything. They just slowly got up and walked to their homes...all very, very confused.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Back In The Forest

A yawn could be heard from a certain blonde, as he'd just gotten done with a nice six bowls of ramen.

Team seven stood in complete silence, an o-so-familiar puff of smoke appeared (which was pretty shocking since team seven just got there and they were a little early!)

"Yo..." Kakashi said waving.

"Kakashi sensei you're...early?" Sakura said looking shocked.

"Nope. He's actually late. He was supposed to already be here an hour and a half ago." came a voice that sounded like Kadame's.

"I was gonna get here on time but the guy from the bookstore tied me down and–"

"Save our ears! They're gonna pop like bottle rockets if I have to hear another excuse!" Naruto said covering his ears.

"I was just about to say the same thing." Kadame said in an annoyed tone.

"Never mind that, shouldn't we be going now?" Sakura said trying to change the subject.

Thank you! Somebody heard my request to end this insanity! Sasuke thanked Sakura in his mind for getting everybody back on track.

"Right, right. Umm, yeah. I guess we should go to the dock now." Kakashi said.

"The dock?" Naruto said confused.

"Yeah, how did you expect us to get to the island, run?" Kadame said sarcastically.

Grr, that girl is so lucky I can't talk back cause she's my sensei for a while. If not I'd have already– Naruto was getting tired of Kadame and her sarcastic ways.

"Ok, whatever. Let's just go before somebody gets hurt." Kakashi said starting to lead the group to the docks. This has been a long day...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

On The Boat At The Docks

Everyone was getting situated in there little corners of the boat as Kakashi loaded the rest of the stuff onto the boat. Finally after placing the last bag on board, Kakashi turned to his students.

"Well, that's it. The rest is up to you guys." Kakashi smiled at his students under his mask. "Good luck."

Everyone smiled (well, everyone but Sasuke but he doesn't count) as they waved at their sensei. Kakashi cut the rope connecting the boat to the dock and waved. When the boat was completely out of sight, Kakashi walked off.

The Boat Ride

Naruto sat looking out at the water while humming a random tune. Sasuke just sat there, looking up at the sky. Sakura watched the waters ahead as the wind blew at her pink hair. Kade just looked ahead as he steered the boat. Kadame on the other hand, was being her dangerous self, sitting on the edge of the boat and trying to see if she could catch a fish with just a kunai and her hand.

"You know sooner or later, you're gonna fall. You do realize that, right?" Kade said noticing Kadame almost fell out of the boat.

"Have you forgotten who I am? I won't fall." Kadame said. "Stop worrying so much. I'll be fine."

"Ok, if you say so..." Kade let out a small sigh and turned back to steering.

------Ten Minutes Later------

"I'm bored. Are we there yet?" Naruto said out of nowhere.

"No." Kadame said simply.

Naruto groaned and went back to gazing at the sky, which was starting to become dark.

"Here we are." Kadame suddenly said.

"But you said a second ago that we hadn't gotten there yet." Naruto said confused.

"That was before. This is now."

"You didn't know we were there yet, did you?"

"Actually I did. I just like messing with people's heads. It's quite enjoyable, don't you think?" Kadame said with a teasing smile.

Naruto was confused, but he stood quiet since Kadame was making him mad.

Soon afterwards, the boat reached the sand and everyone began to jump out and stretch themselves out.

"Ok then, what do we do first?" Sakura asked as she helped get the stuff out of the boat.

"We set up camp for the night." Kade said as he handed her the bag that belonged to her. "Tomorrow we start the mission. It will be easier that way. No one will be too tired to work."

"I see. Ok then, I'll go tell the others." Sakura said as she went to tell her teammates their assignment.

After The Camp Site Was Set Up

"Alright, I want everybody to get a good night sleep so that we can work hard tomorrow. Got it?" Kadame said as everyone one got ready for bed.

"Got it." Everyone said in unison.

Kadame left team seven as they got situated for bed.

"Well tomorrow's where it all starts guys! I'm getting to bed!" Naruto said, heading for his tent.

"Okay. Good night, Naruto." Sakura said with a smile.

"Good night, Sakura. Night Sasuke." Naruto said.

"Night..." Sasuke said.

Naruto crawled into his tent and lay there, drifting back and forth.

"I'm gonna go lay down too. Good night, Sasuke." Sakura smiled and turn to her tent.

"...night" Sasuke decided to lie down too, even though he couldn't go to sleep for a while.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kadame walked toward the shore line and sat down next to Kade. "How's it going, bro?"

"Same as always."

"Blah. I was hoping for a better answer this time."

"Oh well. You're out of luck."

"I guess so. Sometimes I wonder if we really are twins...you're so different from me."

"That's cause I'm one side of a person and you're the other. Together we make the two sides of one person."

"That's a strange way of putting it but I like it. So does that mean I'm the dark side and you're the light side?"

"However you want to put it."

Kadame smiled and sighed. "Well I'm gonna go before it's too late. You should start getting ready to lay down."

"What are you gonna be late for?"

"I sense that the Uchiha child is having a good dream. If I hurry, I can change that." Kadame said smiling mischievously.

Kade laughed. "You and your ideas of fun. Enjoy yourself, but don't stay up too late. Good night."

"I won't. Promise. Night, Kade."

And with that, the twins went their separate ways for the night. As for Sasuke? He'll be fine...I think.

----End Of Chapter----

Well? Good? Bad? Boring? Either way I'll try to update soon if I get enough reviews!
