Naruto's Treasure Hunt Test
A/N: Here we go chapter 3 I'm raring to go and got some great ideas so let's get started with the story hope you like it.
Naruto raced to edge of the village where he realize he was pretty bad at tracking.
"Oh ya maybe I should get some help. Hmm Kiba can track people by scent right? I'll go ask him to identify the scent and help track this guy down."
Naruto ran toward where Kiba normally trains with Akamaru. When he arrived he only found Hinata.
"Hey Hinata have you seen Kiba?"
"Oh hi Naruto why do you need Kiba?"
"I have to track down some guy."
"Oh well if that's the case can I help I mean we can bring Kiba too but would you mind if I came along? I'm pretty good at tracking."
"Shore any help I can get would be great."
They searched for Kiba and after some time found him at a dumpling shop eating with Akamaru. He had gotten so big that he took a whole two seats.
"Yo Kiba!"
"Huh?" Kiba turned around in his booth to see a ridiculous looking Naruto.
"What do you want? I'm trying to eat."
"Let's get to the point. Grandma Tsunade gave me a mission. This one involves tracking so she said to recruit you but Hinata wanted to come along and I said that's fine."
"When do we leave?"
"ASAP."
"Ok just let me gather my supplies. I'll meet you at the front gate."
"Ok see you there."
Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba all went their separate ways and met up at the gate half an hour later.
"So who's leading us?"
"That would be me."
Naruto pulled off his pack and opened an inside pocket.
"This scroll has a paralysis jutsu casted on it so you can't look at it but we have to track the caster. The scroll is blank anyway so…"
"Hey wait how come your not paralyzed if you looked at the scroll?"
"It doesn't affect me for some reason."
Naruto frowned and gave the scroll a disappointed look.
"Any way we have to track the caster so Kiba go ahead and catch this guy's scent. Once you do we'll head out."
Kiba grabbed the scroll and started sniffing.
"Oh man it's like this guy doesn't mind being found. His scent is totally unmasked."
"Well can you follow it?"
"I can tell where he went but we better go fast his scent is fading."
"Ok then let's go."
They headed off in the direction Kiba was leading them and everything went without a hitch. They found a clearing in the forest and were deciding to camp out for the night.
"Ok Kiba are we close enough to sleep for the night?"
"No if we slept now I would lose the scent."
"Well let's rest for a few minutes. Hinata how are you doing?"
"I'm fine."
"Kiba how much further will we have to go?"
"Twenty to thirty miles before we reach a stopping point."
"Well then let's take a breather than head out. I brought some of Sakuras food pills along."
He divided the food pills among the four *Akamaru* of them and they ate a third of their share and rested. After spending time going over their plan Kiba chimed in.
"We better go his scent is getting weaker."
"Ok, Hinata you ready to go?"
"Ya."
They stood up and followed the scent till they reached a small village.
"We can stop here. This is where the caster was for a while and he is still around the area. I suggest we sleep till morning then go after him."
"That sounds good."
They found an inn not too far from the exit of the village and decided to relax till the sun came up. Hinata fell asleep instantly and Kiba sat in a corner with Akamaru talking until they fell asleep. Naruto sat out on the balcony waiting for the three of them to fall asleep. When they did he jumped off of the balcony and down into the streets. It was about three in the morning and no one was awake so it was quiet and peaceful. The cool air helped calm Naruto and throw a few unneeded thoughts away. He walked up and down the village four times until he had thought through every detail of what had happened and came to the conclusion that no matter what he had to get the caster to release the jutsu. He also came up with a plan to prove if the caster had really released the jutsu.
At sunrise the four team members set off to find the caster. His scent was still strong and Kiba could easily track him.
"Were here."
They stopped outside of an old house that looked like it hadn't been lived in for a few years.
"You sure?"
"Positive."
They walked up to the door and knocked. After hearing some muffled sounds the door opened and they saw an old man.
"Um hello we're looking for someone."
"Who?" The old man seemed truly puzzled.
"Someone who left this scroll in our village."
Naruto pulled out the scroll and showed it to the old man. The old man slowly reached out his hand and took the scroll.
"A young man told me to leave it at these coordinates or he would kill my grandson. He also said not to open it. My grandson is most precious to me so I agreed and as he said my grandson remained unharmed."
"Can you tell me what he looked like?"
"Well it's hard to remember exactly because he was in a large cloak but his eyes were red and he had black hair also his skin was unusually pale."
"Thank you sir we will be on our way now."
Naruto turned and walked away. Hinata, Kiba, and Akamaru turned and followed him.
"Hey Naruto you think it's…" Kiba was cut off.
"No doubt."
"So where do we go now."
"I know."
"So where then?"
"The final valley."
"How do you know he's there?"
"I just do."
Naruto stormed off into the woods toward the village.
