Naruto ran, panting with every step. Kakashi and Sakura were right in front of him, waiting for their lagging teammate to catch up.
Naruto was sitting in the ramen bar, when Kakashi ran up, sent by Shizune, and told him about the mysterious poem and where it was located. They had picked up Sakura, and were running to meet the mysterious Team 76.
Neji wandered into the team's path. As Sakura and Kakashi ran past him, Naruto was thinking of ramen and ran in head-on collision with Gai's student.
"Naruto, you have a mission with Sudaru on Team 76, right? Neji asked.
"Team 76, I guess." Naruto replied confused.
"Be careful, he's trouble." Neji warned. "Tenten, Lee and I were on a mission with him. We're lucky to still be alive."
"Oh, okay…" Naruto said as he wandered away.
When he caught up with the rest of Team 7, they were standing outside the main gate with unfamiliar ninjas. Team 76.
The only odd thing was that there was Kakashi, Sakura, three ninjas and three unfamiliar adult team leaders. Naruto was confused. Three leaders? What was going on?
The group traveled to the cave where Shizune told Kakashi, and apparently the other leader, where the poem was found. One of the foreign ninjas carried a scroll with the poem. A girl with long, brown hair. She wore glasses, a black robe similar to Sakura's.
Once in the cave, she said her name was Hasuko once Team 7's introductions were taken care of.
A boy, whose name was Jurosu, had a dark blue sweater with a pair of black, leather pants. He also had a sandy blond hair color. The thing Naruto realized about the boy was eyes. They were big, and so shiny that when Naruto looked him in the eye, he could see his whole face reflected back at him.
Finally, was a boy with dark skin, black shirt, pants, black hair, and a black personality. His name was Sudaru, and Neji was wrong. He looked shy, but not dangerous. Not much other than that could be told from his appearance.
Soon, Kakashi said that he and the other leaders were not staying. Konoha had jobs for them too. Many were lost in the Sound attack. They were needed else where.
Once the leaders left, Hasuko read the poem out loud.
"The utopia of perfection you seek
Is located as fire in the creek
When down goes up, and up goes down
The land of perfection shall be found
Where wanters live and haters die
Can only be found when Earth's in the sky."
"I do not know what we are going to do to decipher the poem." Stated Hasuko once done.
The boys groaned.
"What?" said Naruto. Jurosu responded.
"Hasuko is the smart one in this team. She can't lie, or ask questions for that matter. It is a curse of her clan. She is one of the last, and cannot tell a lie if she wanted to. Her body wouldn't let her. She soon read every scroll she could find, so she could not lie, but deceive others in a lie-like way. If she doesn't know the answer to the riddle, none of us do."
"Oh, that's easy" Naruto said. "We just need to start a fire and throw it in the spot in the river where it goes out, destroys Earth's gravitational field, reverses gravity, and throws the Solar System out of whack."
"Is he always so stupid?" Asked Jurosu to Sakura.
Writer's Comments: Sorry for the boring chapter. I have decided this will be a 4 chapter story.
