Hey, sorry for taking a long time for the people actually interested in reading this story. I got a virus on the computer ~.~ and we had to give it to some guy to fix it. Ok well here this chapter. Hope you enjoy it :). Also, Sasori is 18 and Hinata is 16 and I changed my mind about Hinata's hair being long when she was young. Instead, it's going to be like the actual anime with her hair short while she's young but in this part it's now long. Oh and Akito is the younger boy from the dango shop if you guys didn't understand who he was.

Warning: There will probably be more cussing because everybody is older. Again, I haven't watched Shippuden, so I'll just make some of this up as I go. So it might not go exactly like the show.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto :((

12 years later…

Hinata POV

I stumbled down the road. It was a beautiful afternoon, and there was a gorgeous sunset beyond the sky. I stared at it for a few seconds, and sighed. "This really reminds me…of everything that happened before." I whispered to myself.

"Hinata! Hey!" Kiba greeted out of nowhere.

My head snapped up and I had instant eye-contact with Kiba. "Kiba!" I yelled.

"It's so nice out! We should go to that popular dango shop!"

My facial expression immediately beamed. "Definitely!"

Once we arrived, Akito speeded toward us. "Hinata! You haven't visited us for a while!" He chuckled and scratched the back of his head sweetly.

"I'm sorry! I've been busy trained with Tsunade." I explained. Akito scoffed.

"Hinata, I think he has a crush on you!" Kiba sneered, nudging me.

I elbowed him. "Shut up!"

"Right, you have a crush on Naruto!"

I slapped him in the face and at the same time I rolled my eyes. I rested my chin on my palm. I examined the place. "This place changed a lot."

"Yeah. Akito told me that they were going in debt a long time ago, but these two kids helped them somehow and now they are such a big hit, although, one of them wasn't from around here and he's never been seen around here since. "

I stared at our food shallowly. My thoughts swarmed in my mind as Kiba attacked his food, mumbling words I wasn't paying attention to. "Er, Kiba. I should be getting home now. Tsunade will be pissed if I come home too late. Plus, she'll probably accuse me of doing stuff I shouldn't do and end up give me a lecture."

Kiba gave me a suspicious look. "Are you saying that so I'll have to pay for your food?"

I giggled and messed up his hair. "I'll see you later!"

Sasori Pov

"Sasori Sempai! Hurry the fuck up, un!" Deidara's voice screamed.

"What do you want?" I demanded.

"The leader wants us, un. I think he's going to finally give us a mission to kill some people!" The childish blonde began chuckling insanely.

I sighed. "One day, you are going to hurt yourself laughing like that."

"Shut up, sempai, un!" He continued his menacing snicker, but instead ended up choking on the air and plummeting to the ground. I rolled my eyes.

"Humph, didn't know the time would come so early." I abandoned his miserable state and accessed the compartment where our leader remained. "Leader-sama" I bowed obediently. "What do you need from me and that stupid idiot I call my partner?" I spat out disgusted.

"Where is he now?"

"On the floor probably hurting himself."

His dull eyes faintly blinked around the cloudy atmosphere. Silence expanded throughout the dim habitat. The only object that allowed me to receive any sort of vision was an inadequate blub attached to the ceiling, providing a worthless amount of glimmer. A hand extended out from the shadows and came near me containing a scroll. Almost without any hesitation, I grabbed the scroll from his palms. "Follow the scroll's rules. Kill anyone who gets in your way."

I nodded and exited the room without any questions. After noiselessly shutting the door, I was faced with a pissed-off Deidara. I pushed him out of my way. "Did you really want me to die, un?" He hollered.

"Calm down. I would okay on this mission with or without you." I continued towards my room. "Although, it would be so much easier without." I added.

"UUGHH WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BE MY PARTNER! SO BORING AND EMOTIONALESS, UN!" I groaned as a result from his eternal bickering.

I slammed my door, and from my mouth a relieved sigh was emitted. In the night's dark, I positioned myself in a comfortable state on my bed, unnoticing the scroll still in my grip. Soon after, the darkness allowed me to fall peacefully into slumber.

"YESSS!" an annoying roar disrupted my inner thoughts. "YES YES YES. THIS MISSION IS GOING TO BE FUN, UN!"

Deidara… I moaned to myself and forced myself to awaken. I blinked several times and noticed the scroll was missing from my hands. Oh great. He found out what the mission is… "Deidara. You should really change your name to Diedara. Your big-ass mouth will get you killed."

"Whatever Sempai. Guess what? We are going to the Leaf village! Finally I can go ahead and destroy some people, un."

"Who cares? We always do that, don't we?"

"Yeah, but I heard the Leaf village have people who can actually fight back, un."

"Whatever, so what is the mission?"

"We have to get the Kyuubi. He should be training around there, un. There are probably people guarding the village. How about we have a little fun, un?"

"Hm…we haven't been on a mission for a while. Fine, just don't go so overboard. We don't want too much attention."

"Great!" He clasped his hands together eagerly. "Let's get packing and get ready to go today, un!"

Hinata POV

I leaped from branch to branch; I was going to meet Tsunade to do our daily training. I wonder what she's going to teach me today I asked myself. I gradually discontinued and pressed my back against the tree trunk. Hmm? Someone's there. A kunai knife appeared in my grasp.

I silently peer behind the trunk. "HINATA!"

"AH!" I screamed and impelled the object that announced my name.

"AAHHH!" It was Naruto.

"Naruto! Ay, I'm sorry; I thought you were an enemy or something!" I quickly explained. My explanation didn't really ease the pain from the deep piercing.

"Jeez, Hinata. I was just saying hi." He mumbled.

"I'm sorry…" the bloody odor collided with my senses. "I'll heal you." Ever since I lived with Tsunade, I became stronger and learned many more techniques including healing and overcame most of my shyness and pitiful stuttering. I gripped the end of the Kunai and released it from his gushing flesh. My ear twitched. "Naruto?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you hear something?"

"Probably not. Sakura told me I couldn't hear anything because I talk too much about myself to hear anything else."

"Uh, okay then. I'll use my Bakugan then."

I preformed a single hand sign and veins appeared around my visual area. "Someone is there. There are two of them. No wait three of them."

Sasori POV

"Ooh, an Anbu black op, un. Sooo scary!" Deidara teased.

"Deidara, will you shut up and do this already." I stated impatiently.

I fixed myself into a fighting stance pose with chakra shooting from the tips of my fingers and attaching itself to a puppet. I switched a few of my fingers around and slammed the target against a tree. Leaves detached from the tree and landed safely to the ground.

My clumsy partner showed both of his palms to the witness. The Anbu had a horrified glimpse on his face in return. Soon after he created a bird and exploded the defenseless human. He laid there in ruins, with splattered blood encircling as much as 4 feet from his body.

Instantly, Deidara twirled around the body and danced like a ballerina. He mumbled words to himself with glory.

My eyes widened a bit. "Show yourself!" I ordered.

"Hm? Is someone there, un?" Deidara questioned.

I pointed toward a tree. My associate snickered. "That's a tree, you idiot."

"Behind it…" I stated obviously.

Hinata POV

"Shit, they found us!" Naruto whispered.

"We have to escape! One of us should distract them." I suggested.

"I'll make a clone of myself!" He completed his plan and his clone sprung to their sight.

The blonde one grinned, while the somewhat familiar red-head stayed unmoved as well as the emotion shown on his face.

The real Naruto and I pursued our chance of escape and departed to the branches as unnoticeably and briskly as we could. Relief scoured our body, until we came unexpectedly in the way of a puppet.

Soon after, the puppet threw Naruto down to the ground and went after it. I intended to go after them, but another figure was in my way. It was the red-head. I had seen him from the back but not so closely and face-to-face. His features seemed so recognizable yet vague.

We both glared at each other intently, sucking in each other's appearances, although I quickly snapped from the distraction. Intelligently, I built up chakra to my hand while he watched me inattentive of my mischievous method. I shoved my hand to his stomach and left not caring to see his painful reaction, and immediately proceeded to search for where they captivated Naruto.

"Naruto! Where are you!" I shouted. Only the cool breeze replied to my screams.

"Hey! U-ah stupid habit" Naruto approached me cooly with his arms resting on his head.

"Are you…ok?" He acted oddly suspicious.

"Of course, uh…um…"

"Hinata."

"Oh yeah, Hinata. What a pretty name for a pretty girl" the obviously fake Naruto commented.

I sighed. "Where is the real Naruto?"

"What are you talking about, beautiful un?"

"Hm, since when does Naruto say un?"

"W-what are you talking about? Un…"

I came toward him and punched his face. Soon after, he resembled back to the other blonde enemy. "Where did you put him?"

"Hinata!" Naruto groaned.

The voice came from a few feet behind me. "Ugh finally! We need to go before that red-head guy comes!"

I placed his arm over my shoulder and luckily left without them trying to chase us again. Shortly after, we arrived the training grounds.

"HINATA! WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU GUYS?" Tsunade cocked her head. "WHY DID YOU BRING THAT BOY? HE'S AN IDIOT!"

"Tsunade. These rogue ninjas tried to attack us and we managed to escape."

"Rogue ninjas? Oh great! I guess I'm just going to have to send you guys onto a mission to capture them."

After her remark, Naruto's seemingly dead body came to life. "A mission! Yaaaayy!" He scrambled toward me and embraced a thrilled hug. I blushed a bit and finally he released me.

"So what exactly did these ninjas looks like?"

"Er, I remember they were both wearing a weird-looking cloak that was black and had these red clouds scattered on it."

"Akatsuki."

My brow rose. Akatsuki sounded familiar, but I've never battled them before. "So who else is coming with us?" I added changing the subject.

"Sakura and this old woman she found."

Sasori POV

"Really, I thought you would be able to handle that girl." I blamed.

"Humph, it's not my fault! She was really hot! I got distracted! Plus, I saw the way you guys were staring at each other before. I wasn't the only one thinking she was pretty. Were you in looooveee?" My pesky teammate accused.

"Shut up. There was something about her that bugged me."

"I think you are finally having an emotion in you. Hm and all this time I was worried about you being gay." Once he finished his statement, he murmured and few words and dashed away, knowing that I was about to kill him, although instead I shrugged.

"You're not worth my time."

I know I made Deidara so clueless and idiotic, but I can't help it :). That is how he is like to me :P. And sorry for the weird ending and any grammar mistakes I've made. Oh and if I didn't already mention before. I am doing requests for Naruto. I have a bunch of free time during the summer. Well, sort of but eh you know. I like making people's stories come to life xP. Anyways, hurry and review and give me some ideas!
