Chapter Two

Early Mornings & Evil Eyes

"Hello and good morning Konoha! It's a beautiful day and in the east you can see-."

"Shut up." groaned Naruto as he pushed the snooze button on his clock for the third time that morning. He looked over his shoulder to see what the time was and read five eighteen. He just stared at his ceiling wondering why he had set his clock for five in the morning and waited in his bed for the kitty shaped clock to go off again.

But before his clock could irritate the drowsy ninja he heard a tap on his smudge streaked window. "Wah? Oh no if it's that crow again it's going down!" grumbled the bedraggled blonde. With out opening his eyes he fumbled with the lock on his bedside window and unlatched it.

"Rise and shine oh great leader! It's time to make sure you don't fall asleep and cause the trip to be delayed!" shouted a rather unwelcome visitor.

"When did I ask for a wake up call Kiba?" groaned Naruto as he tried to climb back into his bed.

"Well Akamaru and I always go on walks in the morning so we thought-."

Before he could finish his sentence Naruto spoke up and stated "Well good for you but unlike you I'm not an early bird so I don't care who gets the bacon."

"…You do know that that didn't make any sense, right? Oh, by the way, the reason I even came here was because Kakashi sent me. He said we're now supposed to meet at the West gate" Kiba said while trying not to grimace at the clutter scattered trough out Naruto's apartment. He couldn't help but think 'Dear Balto in Alaska, what kind of bomb went off in here?' Then his eyes showed him something he couldn't believe, 'Whoa, is that shirt alive or is something growing on it?' Kiba shook his head in disbelief as a once-white-now-brown shirt started to release grey dust.

Kiba and Akamaru waded through the pig sty and made them selves comfortably on the only uncovered thing in the apartment, a very nice looking faux leather coach. They spent a few minutes waiting for Naruto to get out of bed. When the usually hyperactive boy didn't fly across the room in his normal manner Kiba and his mini me did the only thing they could, they went into Naruto's kitchen and began eating his food, making sure to avoid any ramen.

After Kiba had made his way through a bag of jerky the alarm went off again. By this time Kiba had gotten Akamaru busy trying to find Naruto's camping bag and he had gotten the shower running. Now completely aggravated from the sheer laziness of Naruto Kiba slowly turned to the blonde and bent down to his ear. "Naruto wake your lazy butt up and take a shower now! Don't take any longer then ten minutes or else I'll send Akamaru in there to pee in your eyes, got it!?" screamed dog boy.

"Holy dancing monkeys! Alright Captain Crunch, I'm going, I'm going!" screamed Naruto as he scampered off to the shower, holding his now deaf ear.

At this time Akamaru tugged on Kiba's pant leg to tell him that he had found the camping bag.

"Well, that went better then expected didn't it Akamaru? I thought at least he wouldn't be packed but, I guess some days he does have a brain!" Akamaru responded to Kiba with a loud yip and the two were about to grab the tawny bag from the living room table when suddenly the grimy shirt flung it's self in their path.

"So you are alive, well," Kiba whipped out a bandana then tied it over his nose and mouth, "bring it on you Hanes monstrosity!"

Konoha's West gate

Kakashi and Asuma arrived at the gate before the sun had come up so as to make sure that all the plans were set. They checked all the maps, walkie-talkies, tents, canteens, and such, then they realized that they still had thirty minutes on their hands.

"Where are those kids? Didn't I tell them to come here?" grumbled Kakashi as the space between his eyes wrinkled in frustration. Asuma opened one dark blue eye, looked at his watch and retorted "It's only six, they have plenty of time."

Gai suddenly ran up to the two looking like he had just been chased by crazed six year old girls with lipstick. "Who ever said I was going to get seven teenage boys breakfast was out of their minds!" roared Gai as he shot Kakashi death glares.

When Kakashi and Asuma turned to give Gai their full attention they had to quickly stifle a laugh. What they saw was Gai in his normal green extra tight jumpsuit but instead of striking his normal power of youth fists on hips pose, his legs we're quivering in an over dramatic sense of distress.

"Hey, don't forget your treating us too." Asuma said good-humouredly.

Gai whipped his head towards Asuma and gave him his own good share of death glares. Trying to force a smile, the usually enthusiastic ninja spoke through gritted teeth, "You do realize that one of those boys is a human black hole, right? It's like no matter how much food you shove in there it never fills up. There is no way that I can afford to feed him enough to satisfy his hunger!"

"Buy his a Snickers." Kakashi put in, just trying to annoy the green clad sensei. Luckily for him Gai seemed not to notice the remark. All Gai did was continue his rant, "Let alone six more! I know I purposely got stuck with this job you guys are-"

Kakashi quickly slapped Gai on the back which forced Gai to breath. "You were scaring us there for a minute. I don't think I've ever seen you turn blue before." Kakashi chuckled in an attempt to lighten Gai's mood. "Think of buying all that food as a challenge! Hey, that's an idea, how about we have a friendly little competition to see who can get the most food for the boys first! The one with the most food in twenty minutes wins!" Without waiting for Gai's reply he shouted on the top of his lungs, "Go!"

At this Gai ran off, only leaving a cloud of dust to show where he went.

"You're not even going to buy anything, are you?" Asuma questioned Kakashi.

At that comment Kakashi only responded with a wry grin that you could barley pick up under his mask and the sickly fake innocent remark, "It's only six, he's got plenty of time."

Eighteen Minutes Later

"Kiba, just so you know, we all hate you." Chouji spit out these few words into between angrily munching on his chips and giving Kiba a death glare.

By this time all seven nin boys had been assembled and were making decent progress down to the West gate. Kiba had officially annoyed all of his friends by waking them up in the same fashion (and pain) as he had inflicted on Naruto. All of them, with the exception of Kiba and Lee, were groggy, with Shikamaru rating the highest of them on the drowsy meter. (rank: 9.(Imagine Shikamaru sleep walking with his eyes open just enough to show him blurred images of where he's going and occasionally falling flat on his face, then trying to nap when he hit the ground)) In unison five pairs of eyes all flung themselves in the dog nin's direction, each pair sending the same message, Once we get on the road your dead dog breath..

Noticing that he was the only one not hating Kiba (he forgot to set his alarm clock and was quite grateful to woken up so early. Also he wanted to do some morning exercises before they left on the trip)Lee noted that he was the only one in a good mood about Kiba waking him up early and was about to come to Kiba's defense when out of nowhere Gai flew in front of the boys. He cradled in his arms a mountain of food. Since he couldn't see where he was going he ended up trampling over Shino and Akamaru, smashing them in the process.

"Why is everyone trying to kill my dog!?" Kiba shouted to no one in particular.

"Thanks for caring that I got hit too." Shino spoke in almost a grumbled but still managed to talk in his monotone voice. At that comment Shikamaru decided to help Shino up so as the bug user wouldn't kill any of them later.

"Good to see that you boys got the message to come to the West gate." Kakashi spoke, he really was actually quite happy that no one was blaming him for mixing up the place.

"Holy milk duds! Kakashi is actually here, on time, not reading his dirty book? It's a sign of the apocalypse!" Naruto said overdramatically, his eyes growing to the size of saucers.

"Look Kakashi, I won the challenge! Ha in your face you mask wearing bandit, ha!" Gai was back flipping and shouting at the top of his lungs but no one took much notice to him since everyone was engrossed with making sure they had everything on the check list and stealing their breakfast from Gai's mountain of food, when over enthusiastic ninja wasn't looking.

Glad his back to his normal weird self again. Asuma was also quite glad that everything seemed to be in order and that because of Gai being gone so long the sensei's hadn't had to talk about a certain possibly looming threat. I wonder if any of the boys have noticed. To send three highly trained jonin on a little vacation, it's unheard of; the Fourth Hokage must really think there is a possibility of them attacking. Before his thoughts could distract him anymore his tossed an egg sandwich, apple and water.

"Alright let's go! Naruto here's the map and a compass, so take the lead!" Kakashi pushed the items into Naruto's hands spoke in a genially happy tone.

"Now just remember, if you can successfully get us to our fist camping site you only have to do that two more times and you pass this mission. You really need to complete this mission or else you'll have the lowest completion percentage of any ninja currently." Asuma warned Naruto.

In the backs of all their minds the three teachers knew that Naruto would have a lot of trouble with this mission but, hey, that's why Tsunade had sent them, right? That's at least what they would make the boys think.

Finally when everyone had gotten their breakfast from Gai all ten ninjas and one dog stepped out of the gate and waited expectantly for Naruto to show them which way to go. The class clown couldn't help but wonder what he had gotten himself into when he looked at the map. 'Alright, I officially have no idea what I'm doing, what kind of map is this anyway? What's with all the different colors? Well alright, the directions say all I have to do is go west for fifteen mils today, pretty easy.'

Naruto started to march off, he's back to the rising sun as he's friends followed behind him. No one noticed though that two pairs of eyes were watching the large group from a cliff only a few hundred yards to their right.

Duh duh dun! A cliff hanger, a bad cliffy but hey I liked it! Please read and review! Also if you have any ideas on what you would like the characters to do on their trip, send me a message or leave your ideas in a comment. I would just like to say I'm terribly sorry about the short chapter and the late update; I'll try to be better about updating faster. Here's the deal though, I'll update only when I get three comments (I know I'm really a big brat but hey, what can I say I'm a teenager! XP) have fun and keep up writing your own stories! Ciao for now!
