Chapter 2

Sasuke and Temari were walking home, holding hands after they said goodbye to Itachi, Sakura, Naruto, and Hinata. When they finally reached the door to their home. Sasuke opened the door for Temari and she turned on the lights only to see Team Ebisu was knocked out cold to the floor and that Mieko was missing from her crib! Sasuke and Temari looked all over the house to find Mieko, but their daughter was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, as they were checking to see if they didn't look everywhere, Sasuke found a note put on the kitchen table. It said this:

If you wish to see Mieko ever again, then you will follow what I say, I want the two brothers of Uchiha to come forth and battle me for their children. If you do not come, then consider your children dead.
-Nagoya Yahiko

⌠Oh, Sasuke, they got Mieko and Niji, too," Temari cried.

Sasuke approached a beaten up Ebisu. "Ebisu, who did this to you?"

Ebisu struggled to keep his head up. "Mist Ninjas...they took Mieko, and used water clones as a distraction, they were probably at Jonin level."

Konohamaru fought to stay on one knee, "We tried everything we could, Sasuke-sama, but nothing worked."

Ebisu and Konohamaru both collapsed to the floor.

"We have to go see Itachi about this!" Sasuke said.

Sasuke and Temari rushed over to Itachi and Sakura's and opened the door without even knocking.

"Itachi, you and Sasuke are going to have to battle some Kirigakure ninja to keep Mieko and Niji alive!" Temari shouted.

"I know, it might take days to find this Nagoya Yahiko, maybe even weeks, are you up to it, brother?" Itachi asked Sasuke.

"Of course I am, who wouldn't?!" Sasuke said.

"I am going too," Sakura said as she stood behind her husband, "I know medical ninja techniques, just in case you two are seriously injured."

"I will be going as well, Sasuke and I don't just make a good team, we make a good ninja duo as well," Temari said.

So it was decided that all four would go to rescue their children. Little did they know the trials they would need to face before rescuing Mieko and Niji.

Meanwhile, at Kirigakure, two Mist ninja were approaching a shrouded figure.

"Nagoya-sama, two Konoha ninja, one Konoha kunoichi, and one Suna kunoichi are on their way to find you and to rescue the infant and the toddler we just kidnapped, your orders?

Nagoya sat at his desk and said, "Send Chunin, Tokubetsu Jonin, and Jonin to hold them off."

"Yes, Nagoya-sama," they said at the same time and sped out of the building.

"Let's see if the Uchiha brothers are worthy of taking me on," Nagoya sinisterly said to himself.

Meanwhile, Sasuke, Temari, Itachi, and Sakura were still in the Land of Waves, where they were about to cross the Great Naruto Bridge.

"Sakura, doesn't this bring back memories?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes, it does Sasuke-kun! To think we would be back here again, but no time to wait, we have to get to Kiri and quick," Sakura responded.

They ran across the bridge with intense speed. Suddenly, a ninja appeared in front of them. It was a Mist ninja.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Sasuke asked him. The ninja just stayed silent.

"Answer him, right now," Temari said as she readied her fan.

"If you must know, I am Yukitori Fuusugi, I am a ninja from Kirigakure. I am sorry, but you shall not pass from here."
