-1Eh, sorry for the delay, I still haven't written my friend her stories, and I heard a bit of one of the ones she wrote for me so… yeah. I admit that my stories would be, like, PG rated, if it wasn't for all of the swearing, but I'm just that kind of person. Also, don't forget to review, because it makes me feel better inside, since I apparently have a low self-esteem…stupid shrinks. Carry on! Oh, and in case someone wants to sue me, I don't own Naruto…just imagine what would happen if I DID though.

Patrol!

Ino looked at her watch. "Well, my shift's almost up. Should be Neji's turn next… but… wait a minute…" She throws some senbon at a tree northeast of her. Neji emerges, with the three senbon caught cleanly between his fingers. "Well, I must say, it didn't take you that long to find me… even with my chakra hidden."

Ino looked at him and smirked. "It wasn't your chakra I sensed… it was your ego."

Neji raised an eyebrow. "Care to explain?"

"You totally underestimate me, Hyuga. I'm not who I was a year ago in the Forest of Death. Since it is very easy for me to sense current emotions and workings with the mind, then your gigantic ego was easy enough to sense. Looks like Neji actually DOES have an weakness." She fake gasped and looked around. "Who knew?"

"Hmph, I thought we were on a truce, no?"

Ino smiled. "Haha, you're right, I'm just messing with you. Well, have fun taking over. I was bored to death, and I still feel like I could fight a whole gang of nins, but whatever."

Ino winked and turned around. "Don't screw up!" She headed toward camp.

Neji stood there for a minute. "Well, someone has a change in attitude. Maybe this truce wasn't such a bad idea." He paused and performed the Byakugan's hand seals. "Byakugan!" He scanned the perimeter and headed farther from camp, when he noticed two chakras, one familiar, and one not. "Hagaki." He raced toward the chakras, and waited until they took a break by the stream to appear. "So, Hagaki. What's the meaning of your treachery?"

Hagaki looked up. He was 15, a year older than Neji, but not nearly as talented at the kekkai genkai they both possessed. His hair was only down to his shoulders, and loose. Upon his forehead protector, Neji noticed a slash, right through the leaf village symbol.

"Well, look who it is here, the genius of our clan. What brings you down here, coming after a traitor, like me?"

"We were given a mission Hagaki, to track you down, and bring you back to Konoha, where, you will receive punishment by Hiashi-sama, for your behavior."

Hagaki laughed. " I don't think so. I'm supposed to be escorted by my little friend here, to the legendary sannin, Orochimaru, where, he will grant me power to crush all of you twerps!"

"You do realize the same thing happened to another genin in the village, right?"

"Hah. I am well aware of that Sasuke Uchiha. He made a smart move. You can't hope to gain power in Konoha. At least not with twerps like you around."

"And I also hope you are aware that Orochimaru is using you just like he is with Sasuke. To train you, and then steal not only the Byakugan, but your whole body."

"That's not going to happen."

"Well, we're going to have to bring you back, and I wouldn't want to waste precious chakra on you, Hagaki."

"Well, you're going to have to. Byakugan! Fuyu. Back me up!"

The ten year old, small, blond boy nodded. Neji looked over at him. "What's your name?"

"Fuyu Souzuteki." Neji nodded and took his stance. "Well, what are you waiting for, coward?"

Hagaki charged at him but was thrown off by Neji's rotation. Fuyu, who was unbelievably quick, got behind Neji, and shot poison senbon at him. All but one were blocked. Neji pulled then senbon out of his left shoulder, and hit him with a wave of chakra, but Fuyu dodged it and performed hand seals for an unknown jutsu. Fuyu and Hagaki disappeared, and Neji was standing in a completely dark area. Out of nowhere, a flood appeared, and Neji was about to jump, when he realized he couldn't move.

"Am I in genjutsu…?" A light shone through, and the dark, churning waters disappeared, he then saw Hagaki and Fuyu looking to their right.

"Augh, damn! Who threw that kunai?"

They were so intent on finding who threw the kunai, that Fuyu didn't notice a senbon flying towards him… "Ergh!… oh no! My vision's being obstructed! This must be poisonous!"

Ino leaped out of the trees. "Hmph, well of course. Stage 1: Blindness."

Neji looked over at her. "What the hell…"

Hagaki was peeved. "Who the hell are you supposed to be?!"

"Hey, Neji, are all guys in your clan overconfident bastards, or are they just a lucky few?"

"Ino, what the hell are you doing here?"

"And that's the thanks I get?

Fuyu let out a shriek and collapsed to the ground.

Ino shook her head. "Stage 2: Partial Paralysis. So, you must be Hagaki. Wow, Neji, you're cousin's hideous!"

"This is so off subject…"

"What did that bitch say to me?! Okay, you asked for it!"

"Hagaki," Fuyu said, "Don't. Run. I'm of no use to you at the moment." And with that, he wasn't able to move.

"And, Stage Three: Complete Loss of Use of Motor Skills."

"Oh shit. Well, see ya Fuyu. I'm off."

"Neji, Let's go after him! Neji?" Neji wasn't moving and staring blankly ahead.

Fuyu smirked. "Don't think you're out of the woods, Ino-sama. Those needles were laced with a special poison that targets the brain."

"Do you know me or something?"

"I know more about you than you know yourself. You will eventually understand. Now, enjoy the traces of my genjutsu." After he spoke those words, he disappeared.

"Argh! Damn kid must've performed the hand signs while the poison was still in Stage 1! Repel!" The genjutsu cleared, and Neji jumped up, and looked around. "Where did they go?"

Ino shook her head. "That little kid was clever. Created a slow activating genjutsu while the poison was still in Stage 1.Hagaki managed to escape. Here, I'll treat your wounds at camp. Come on."

-At Camp-

As, they walked into camp, they were greeted by puzzled looks from Hinata and Naruto.

"What happened to you guys?" Hinata asked.

Ino rummaged through her medical stuff. "Well, as I was coming back from my shift, I went to go wash a cut I got from patrol in the river, when I heard Neji's voice. I walked towards some nearby bushes and found him with Hagaki, and some kid called Fuyu Souzuteki. I wait until they start fighting. I decided to jump in when Fuyu, who by the way looks like he's only ten, traps Neji in a genjutsu. I hit Fuyu with my Three Stages special poison, but Hagaki got away, and so did the kid."

Naruto yawned. "Geez, you really miss a lot when you are asleep, don't you"

Neji smirked, "No kidding."

Ino walked over to where Neji was sitting with antidote, bandages, and hydrogen peroxide. "All right Neji, show me that shoulder."

Neji reluctantly took off his shirt so Ino could apply antidote and other medical crap to it.

"Geez, that's a nasty wound, Neji. So a ten-year old did that to you?" Naruto asked.

"Well, if that kid did this to me, I wonder what he would do to you?"

"Neji, I'm going to clean your wound with some peroxide, so it might sting a little."

"Whatever. It can't be too bad-" Ino cleans his wound, and Neji almost elbows her face.

"Gah! You loser! Here I am trying to help you out, and you're trying to inflict injury to me! You have no frickin gratitude."

""Well, sorry, that stuff felt weird."

"Well, then that means it's working! Whatever, here, drink this, it'll get rid of any after effects of the genjutsu." Neji started to drink. "Oh, but it'll make your privates fall off." Neji's eyes grew wide and he spit out the medicine. "What?!"

Ino and Naruto snickered. "I'm kidding!" Neji gave her a cold glare and continued to drink. "…Oh, and it won't reverse the effects of the genjutsu." Neji spit out the medicine again. "Ino! Don't tell me you're kidding again!"

"Sorry, couldn't resist."

Hinata smiled. "What happened to the truce?"

Ino wrapped up Neji's shoulder. "Don't worry, I just like to screw with my patients. Although one time, the doctor I was training under was intoxicated, so when the tumor guy first came in, the doctor thought it was a really big zit, and he told me to go get the Clearasil from the pharmacy, but he eventually came to his senses."

Neji shuddered. "I'm never going back to Konoha hospital."

"Why? Are you planning on getting a tumor sometime soon?"

"Well, no…"

-Next day-

Ino woke up after Hinata was rolling up her sleeping bag.

"Did I miss something, or are we leaving already?"

'No, I just like to get things done as soon as possible…"

"Well, seeing as I'm a procrastinator, I cannot share your view. I'm making coffee."

She walked out of the tent, yawning. Naruto and Neji were eating breakfast, and Ino boiled some water to make instant coffee, seeing as she couldn't take her coffee maker with her. "Coffee… again?" Neji shook his head. "That's pretty sad that you're so dependant, you should know what coffee does to you, seeing as you're a medic nin."

Ino stared at him. "Well, fine smart-ass, then how do you explain Tsunade's alcoholism?

I bet SHE would know that alcohol shrinks your brain, but she still drinks it."

Naruto placed his hands over his ears. "TRUCE! TRUCE!"

Hinata ran out of the tent. "What happened?"

Ino sipped her coffee. "Nothing. And it's certaintly not Neji's fault."

Neji shook his head in disbelief. "Ino, you confuse me."

Ino clapped her hands. "Yayz! I confused a smart-ass!"

Hinata finished packing up her stuff. "Oy vey…"

-Later that day-

So, after more traveling, they came across a town, and decided to take a break from the woods, and stay in an inn. "Alright, Naruto and I will go find a decent inn, while you girls get food."

"Hey, smart-ass, since we are only going to stay here at most for a day, why don't we go to a restaurant?"

Neji sighed. "Because ever since that incident with Lee, I haven't felt comfortable in a restaurant since."

Ino laughed. "Oh yeah, Jellyroll, I mean Tenten told me about that…"

Naruto started chuckling. "Jellyroll?"

"Well, Sakura and I like to bug her about her hair and it's unusual style, so we call her hair Jellyrolls. We have a theory that whenever she gets hungry, she just rips off a jellyroll and eats it, and afterwards it regenerates."

Neji smirked. "Wow. Lee and I are going to have to start calling her Jellyroll from now on. Okay, Naruto will come and find you guys, so you know which inn we're staying at. We'll look around for about an hour. Deal?"

Ino raised an eyebrow. "Well, I doubt there's many cooking stuffs at the inn, so it has to be something simple."

"Whatever won't make us puke. Let's go, Naruto."

"Sure, Captain Butthead."

"Captain Butthead?"

-End of Chappie 3-

Heh, weird, I know. And, I DID use a few lines from Kangaroo Jack, because it's an awesome movie. Oh, remember, REVIEW!
