Ok onto Chapter three recap!
-----Recap-----
Kadame smiled and sighed. "Well I'm gonna go before it's too late. You should start getting ready to lie 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 Recap-----
To the story!
Chapter 4: The Mission Begins: Ground Rules And The Search For Clue 1
6:00 a.m.: Cell 7's Camp Site
The sun crept into the three tents as the day slowly began. One by one, the genins crawled out of their sleeping quarters and tried to get ready for the day ahead.
Sakura stretched herself out and decided to take a quick walk along the shorelines of the island. She silently placed on her sandals and walked off.
Next to awaken was Sasuke. Sasuke sat up and let out a sigh of relief. But his relieved face didn't last long before it was replaced with a glare. If you were listening well enough, you could hear the sudden whisper of "Kadame . . . " as the Uchiha prodigy started on a morning walk.
Last to rise of the three was Naruto, who had a peaceful dream about winning a life time supply of ramen in a contest. The little blonde crawled out of his tent and planted himself in front of a pile of wood. What should we have for breakfast? Hmm . . . maybe I can make some ramen and a side of some fish. Naruto contemplated on what to make for him and his teammates. Finally he decided to go with his first idea and set of to gather some fish.
With Sakura And Her Walk Along The Seashore
Sakura stood in front of the water and let the cool ocean breeze brush pat her face. It was calming, standing by the ocean early in the morning. After a few moments of peaceful silence, Sakura decided to head back to the tents.
With Sasuke And His Walk
Sasuke marched angrily through the trees. This was the second time Kadame had messed up a perfectly good dream of his. But the farther he walked, the more cooled off he got. Soon enough Sasuke was back to his emotionless calm self and decided to head back to camp.
With Naruto And His Fishing
Naruto was humming another random tune as he headed to the seashore with his bucket and the long stick he found. Tied to the end of the stick was Kunai, sharp enough for catching the fish. Naruto continued to hum as he placed the bucket on the ground and began to look in the water for fish. It took quite some time before Naruto saw even the tail of a fish. But after a while, he was on a roll.
Back At The Camp Grounds With Sasuke And Sakura
Sasuke and Sakura reached the camp grounds at almost the same time. They looked around for a moment. They both realized Naruto was missing.
"Hey look, a note!" Sakura said picking up a small crinkled piece of paper. "It's from Naruto."
The note read as follows:
Dear Sakura and Sasuke,
Went to the shoreline to catch some fish for breakfast. Be back in a flash!
-Naruto
"Well, I guess Naruto went to get us something to eat." Sakura said, after reading the note. She handed the paper to Sasuke so he could look at it.
"Well I guess we wait then . . . " Sasuke said sitting down on the ground. Sakura nodded and sat down too.
-----About Ten Minutes Later-----
"I'm back!" Naruto said holding a bucket of fish in his hands. (I know, I know . . . you're probably thinking, Is this girl crazy? It takes way longer then that to catch fish! Well for now try to deal with my 'sort of' time jump.)
It's about time . . . Sasuke thought as he crossed his arms.
"Ok, who's hungry?" Naruto yelled happily.
Instead of a verbal response, the genins' stomachs answered for them.
-----After The Delicious Breakfast Made By Naruto-----
"Wow! That was pretty good, Naruto! I didn't know you could cook fish so well." Sakura said leaning against a log. It was around 7:30 in the morning.
"There's lots of talents I have that you don't know about." Naruto said smiling.
Sasuke said nothing, but then again we all didn't expect him to compliment Naruto's cooking now, did we?
A few minutes passed before anybody said anything. Everyone was just silently digesting, and in Naruto's case, sleeping.
But the silence didn't last long before you heard, "Alright peoples! Who's ready for their mission?"
Everyone looked up to see Kadame and Kade standing on a tree branch just above their heads.
"Well, either way, we're starting now so get your stuff and come with me." Kadame said after hearing no responses.
Each member of team seven rose from their spots on the ground and got ready to go.
Over On Another Part Of The Island
"Ok team seven, let's start by laying down the ground rules." Kadame said the three genin standing before her.
"Ground rules? How can there be ground rules on how to do a mission?" Naruto said, confused.
"I never said the ground rules were for the mission. Now, no more questions till the end got it?" Kadame responded.
Everyone nodded and Kadame continued.
"Ok then, let's begin. Rule 1: For as long as you're with me you avoid asking questions and if you have a question, you wait till I'm done talking. Rule 2: NO FIGHTING and when I say no fighting, I mean no fighting. Now, that's pretty much it for rules so let's go to consequences for breaking rules."
Two rules? Ha! Piece of cake! I can handle not breaking two rules. Naruto said with a smirk.
"Consequence for breaking rule 1: It doesn't matter. It varies depending on my mood. Moving on. Now consequences for breaking rule 2 are a whole other story. Ok first off is the start of a fight, like big glares, smart talk, and any kind of fighting words. For this you get your dreams handed over to me to control."
"How does that work?" Naruto asked, an eyebrow raised.
"Oh, I'm pretty sure Sasuke can tell you all about it." Kadame said with a smirk. She didn't bother punishing Naruto for asking this because she loved to see Sasuke's expression after mentioning Kadame's special jutsu talent.
Sasuke was gonna glare intensively, but remembered the consequences and decided it wasn't worth it.
"Next level of consequence for breaking rule number 2 goes for any pushing shoving, or other lightly harmful physical offenses. Any of those occur and you'll be sleeping in the forest with nothing but what you are wearing at that moment. Last but not least, is the consequence for breaking rule 2 at the third level of intensity. If I catch any real fighting, punches, kicks, or any use of a jutsu unless told otherwise, the person will be keeping Smith company during lunch time. Now any questions?"
"Yeah, who's Smith?" Naruto said, wondering if it was someone (or something) really big.
"Who's Smith you ask? Come, let's go say hi to Smith." Kadame said walking toward the water.
Kadame jumped to a high point of a tree. Kade then reached into a crate and pulled out what looked like a pretty big fish. He took it up to where Kadame was and handed it to her. Kadame then smiled and tossed the fish as far as she could and yelled, "Guys, meet Smith."
Suddenly, out of the water came a huge white shark which devoured the big fish without chewing.
"That my friends, is Smith." Kadame said climbing down from the tree.
Sakura shuddered at the thought, thinking about if she and her teammates even had a chance of avoiding consequence 2. Oh great this is so not good. I don't think we'll be able to keep a clean slate foreverI doubt we'll even make it past today before one of us starts something. I guess all we can do is wait and do our best to stay out of trouble.
He doesn't scare me . . . Sasuke thought as he looked at his teammates. But afraid or not, I'm not about to go that far in the consequential subject. But still, I hate that she made the first consequence something hard to avoid. She's probably gonna do anything to get me to slip up just so she can mess with my head. Yeah, it's official . . . I hate her.
Blah blah blah! A shark? She thinks she's gonna scare me with a shark? Ha! Not now, not ever man! It seemed as though Naruto agreed with Sasuke on the subject of 'fear of Smith'
"Well, enough chit chat. Here's a list of things you're each assigned to look for. Yes, everyone is looking for something equally challenging, but different from each of your teammates. Now begin your search." Kadame handed each member of team seven a small paper and sent them off.
Question is, where do we begin the search? Sasuke thought as he looked at his paper. He was assigned to look around for blood stains and any signs of weapon usage.
Sakura examined her paper and sighed. She was in charge of looking for any strange disturbances in the environment such as pulled roots, dead trees, out of season animals, etc. Basically anything that could have been caused by certain jutsu or weapons.
Naruto just took a glance at his and ran off to nowhere in particular. He just wanted to be the first to finish or at least be done before Sasuke. He was in charge of finding hidden messages or unnatural arrangements of certain objects that could have been used as a call for help or things the rain village ninja or his attacker could have been using. Piece of cake . . . he thought as he reached the entrance into the jungle.
Sasuke and Sakura noticed Naruto's dash into the jungle and decided that it was a good place for them to start too.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
With Naruto
"This looks like a good place to start . . . " Naruto said to nobody in particular. He had walked a great deal into the jungle and reached a far end of it.
"Guess this means I start looking . . . " with that, Naruto began his search.
With Sasuke
Just like Naruto, Sasuke walked a great deal into the vast jungle and decided to look more around the middle of it all.
If anything happened in this jungle, than it most likely happened toward the center. Sasuke looked over his assignment once more and than went on to business.
With Sakura
Sakura looked around for a moment before walking into the area containing many different shades of green and other sunny colors. There were many shapes and sizes of trees with thousands upon thousands of tropical flowers.
Sakura found it very calming to just observe the large, tropical labyrinth before her. But after a moment, she remembered her mission and spent a minute thinking about where to look first.
Well, let's see here. We're going to be here for a couple of days so I might as well plan locations accordingly. How about I start around the perimeter of the area, and than work my way in? Yeah that sounds good. So I'll begin here and go around counterclockwise. Alright, let's get to work then! Sakura got everything all planned out and began on her long journey for the day.
About Three And A Half Hours Later
The three genin were about halfway through their assignments and were practically falling over from exhaustion. It was a huge forest for one person to cover on their own. No one had found anything of importance for their mission. Only even .00000000001 of a percent close to importance thing that happened was that Sakura ran into a creepy looking monkey who scared the living daylights out of her. Fortunately, she was able to get away from it in one piece. Other than that, though, it was just a long, boring day.
After like five more minutes, of the long, boring, and tiring search Kadame and Kade found each team member and called them in for lunch.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Woah, you guys look a mess." Kadame said as she handed each genin a plate of food for lunch.
"You're telling us . . . " Naruto said before he dug into his plate of food.
"So aside from the fact of how you look, how did it go? Did you find anything?"
"..."
"Guess not. Well, then I guess you might be a little happy to know that we found nothing as well."
The three genin raised a brow. "You were looking for stuff too?" Naruto didn't believe they were actually working that whole time, especially with the way they looked compared to him and his teammates.
"Of course, what did you think we were doing? Sitting here telling each other jokes? We have jobs too, you know."
Naruto just nodded slightly, for he was too busy eating to say ok.
"I'm gonna go feed Smith. Be back in a little bit." Kadame said, walking off.
It was silent for a moment, all you could hear was the wind hitting against the trees. But after a while, silence was getting a bit too boring for our little blonde loud mouth.
"So . . . you've heard a little about us, we haven't heard much about you guys. Can you tell us about you at least, Kade-sensei? It is okay to call you sensei, right? Or does it bother you?" Naruto decided that he should start calling Kadame and Kade his sensei, seeing as how that's what they technically seem to be.
"No, I guess we're your sensei if you look at it from your perspective. And for your first request, there's not much about us to talk about."
"Well, can't you at least tell us where you're from or what your class is?" Naruto was anxious to find out about these two.
"Naruto, it's rude to try to pull information out of someone when they don't feel like telling you anything, especially when it's our sensei." Sakura said, feeling as though Naruto was pressuring Kade.
"No it's fine. He's persuasive. That's a good attribute that all ninja should have. If you're not persuasive about things, you won't always get the info you need out of people during certain missions." Kade said. He was trying to stop a fight before it started so he didn't have to punish them on the first day. Fortunately, they got the point and kept any fighting urges to themselves.
"Anyway, Kadame and I are high level chounin back in Konoha. We grew up there and everything. Nothing special, just regular teenage ninja." Kade said, looking up at the sky.
It seemed from what they heard that Kadame and Kade were just about as normal as them. Knowing that they were just normal people made team seven feel more comfortable being around them, well Kade at least. Kadame was still a scary second story that they'd just have to find out about later.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It had been about an hour before team seven got back to work on their mission. Everyone was refreshed and ready to get back on target.
Sasuke paced around a bit before tripping over something hard. Fortunately for him, he was able to pull himself back up before hitting the ground. He turned around to see what he tripped over.
Sasuke's eyes widened. What is that? He bent over to get a closer look at it. Then without further thinking, he went to go find his teammates.
-----End Of Chapter-----
Well, how was that? The mission has already started and Sasuke's in the lead with one find. It's amazing that I've gotten even this far with this story! I have to thank my reviewers for that! Anyway, chapter 4 is done and I will get on working for chapter5 as soon as school gives me a break on homework! See you all in the next chapter!
Review Please!
