Chapter start!
The Sanin watched her Anbu glance at each other from the corner of the holes of their masks. Even though their faces were hidden, their body language told all. They were nervous. Seeing as no one was going to open the discussion, Tsunade continued with her briefing to the twelve young Shinobi.
"As of a few days ago, a letter from an old friend of mine came to me regarding a mission. This mission that he came to me with is of grave importance. After careful thinking, the mission's ranking as been changed from and A mission to now an S-ranked mission. Now, how many of you are believers of magic?"
Tsunade inwardly sighed, seeing that no one had called out. This was gonna take a while…
"Knowing the world now, everyone thinks that magic is just fantasy but, in fact, it's very much real," she told them, seeing some of the ninja being taken back by such a thing, "But, the world of magic and charka is separate by a barrier and some would think of it as two different worlds. For a brief history lesson, ninja and magic users, also known as wizards and witches, used to live in harmony a very long time ago, but that didn't last long. The wizard government, also known as the Ministry of Magic, began to fear Shinobi and called them savages. But, with the help of an old wizard, the world was split into two parts. One as the wizarding world and our world. Of course, that was thousands of years ago.
Anyway, the client goes by the name Albus Dumbledore. He has come to us with a mission to protect his school from an evil wizard by the name of Voldemort. To clear things up, Voldemort was once a student of the school, also known as Hogwarts, but, with his desire for power, he has come to be known as the greatest threat of the wizarding world."
"So, our mission is to protect the school and kill this Voldemort?" Naruto asked, stepping forward.
"You have only half right," the Hokage responded, "Your mission is to protect Hogwarts and a boy by the name of Harry Potter."
"Oh, now I remember you mentioning him before," Naruto muttered, "but what does this Harry Potter have anything to do with Voldemort?"
"I'm getting to that part now, Naruto," Tsunade said, annoyance in her voice from the blonde interrupting her so many times, but it quickly went away. "The connection between the two goes down to went Harry was just a baby. Voldemort was able to kill his parents but was unable to kill Harry. For years, the Ministry and the wizarding world believed that Voldemort was dead. Recently, Harry witnesses the 'return' of Voldemort. Now, he seeks revenge and will stop at nothing to continue his goal of power."
Tsunade was then silent, watching Naruto and his teammates. She sighed, "This is a lot to take in all at once, I understand, but it is critical to take this mission. Anyone has the right to refuse this mission and if you wish so, you may walk away."
Another wave of silence washed over the group. Looking at his teammates one at a time, Naruto then faced Tsunade. "We all accept this mission, Lady Tsunade."
A small smile played across her face, and with a quick nod, she pulled out a large kunai and tossed it to Naruto. Puzzlement could be seen in his eyes as he gazed at the weapon.
"Now, before you all leave, there are some others things I want to go over. During your stay, you may either call each other by code name or by your regular name in the presence of the students. It doesn't matter, but you can choose if you wish. Now for team positions; Naruto: you are squad leader; Gaara: you are second-in-command; Sakura: you are team medic; Neji, Hinata, Temari, and Shino: you are scouts; Kiba and Kankuro: you are trackers; Tenten: you are weapons master and interrogator; Sasuke: you are interrogator; and finally, Shikamaru: you are the team strategist.
Now, all other details are in the scrolls you each received. Any questions?"
Satisfied that no one asked any, Tsunade continued forward, "Everyone now touch the kunai that I gave Naruto."
Confused by their leader's suggestion, no one moved at first. But, Gaara then slowly came to Naruto's side and touched the kunai by the blade gently. Following the Kazekage's action, the others moved into a small circle around the kunai, each touching the blade with a finger. Hearing the Hokage chuckling, all heads turned to her.
Waving to them all with a smile, a sudden yank to their naval made them disappear from the Hokage's sight.
"Good luck, my dear friends…"
All of the Shinobi couldn't help but give out cries of surprise went they felt the force yank at their navels'. It didn't last long, when most of them landed in a pile on top of one another after the force stopped.
"Naruto, get your butt outta my face!" Shikamaru shot at the demon vessel.
"Well, get your face outta my butt!"
"Ow, Tenten! Your elbow's jabbing my stomach!"
"Sorry, Sakura, Temari's fan is jabbing my side!"
"EEEEEKKKKK!! Shino, your bugs!" Hinata squeaked.
"Urgh! Kiba, when was the last time you had a bath?!"
"This morning!!!"
"GET OFF!" a deep voice shouted, muffled by the many bodies of top of it. Sand began to form around the group and one by one, each ninja was pulled off and out of the pile. As fate would have it, Gaara was at the bottom of the pile, and now he was now standing to his feet, rubbing the dusk off his body.
A sudden, soft chuckled suddenly caught the attention of the Shinobi. Turning toward the sound, they saw a man with a long white beard, glasses, and a….DRESS?! Beside the man was a large, red and orange bird that gazed at the young ninjas with eyes that look like they would pierce right through you.
"Well, you all are certainly a lively bunch," the old man chuckled again.
Yeah! By patient for the next part!
Hverbos signing out!
