HACKING
Sasuke and Shikamaru walked side by side to their next class and during the two hours of teaching they discussed how they were going to get in and out of Sasukes fathers office and hack into the system.
The planning had to be perfect, one false move and they would be caught.
Lucky for them they had someone who was willing to push the envelope with adrenaline.
Naruto was the nuttiest of the bunch. He would jump through any obstacle no matter the price. As long as he got a bowl of ramen at the end.
Shikamaru devised a plan that was somewhat flawless. They could not tell what the body guards would do at each moment and they surely could not tell who would be at each place at each passing moment.
When class ended they went out and planned to skip lunch, they needed to buy a few materials for Shikamaru. He was a genius but every genius needed some material.
The material gathering would not be a problem, getting Naruto to do as they say without making a big scene. That was the main problem.
"So Shikamaru do you think Naruto will mess this operation up?"
"I don't think. I know he will. He always does"
"But he gets out of it…"
"Eventually. He's not a quick thinker that is the only problem that's why you two are the perfect team. From the beginning, you always had the great ideas and were a quick thinker, Naruto was the puppet that did what you told him to do. The brain and the brawn"
"Shut it Nara. I am a lot stronger than Naruto and you know that."
"Prove it tonight when we are breaking in"
"Only if necessary"
"Good. Your not the idiot I thought you were"
Sasuke was going to re buttle but Shikamaru lift his hand up to shush him. He pulled out a USB from his back pocket and stuffed it into Sasukes open mouth.
"You need that to copy the information for me onto that USB"
Sasuke pulled the now wet USB and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Anything else?"
"Don't worry James Bond. You will get your fancy gadgets and spy stuff later"
"May I remind you I am the only one who can get you into my fathers computer"
"May I remind you I am doing this for your sake. I can back out any moment I want to. Besides im probably going to see Air Force ones master computer with my knowledge."
"You're a re-"
"Pain. Yes I know, now shut up im thinking."
Sasuke glared at Shikamaru but looked ahead of him afterwards. He didn't want to push Shikamaru too far that he wouldn't help him with his plans later. He was the only one who could help with this, and he knew Sasukes deepest darkest secret so he couldn't stab Shikamaru in the back.
Once they got back to school they grabbed Naruto and led him to the back of the school behind a number of trees so the gym class outside could not see them.
"All right Naruto thanks for agreeing with helping us today."
"No problem! As long as I get my ramen at the end then its cool with me!"
"Shut up you idiot"
"Sasuke you really have to get that stick up your ass out sometime?"
"You idiot you're speaking to loud! Were going to get caught"
"Teme you know im right. Seriously when will you ever just lay back?"
Sasuke punched Naruto in the back of his head and a huge bump formed, Naruto glared at Sasuke and spat his tongue out at him while Sasuke was only glaring back.
Shikamaru found it troublesome and annoying and wished he was sleeping rather than dealing with the two of them.
"Will you two just be quiet"
Sasuke and Naruto stopped their bickering and brought full attention to Shikamaru.
"Thank you. Now lets go through the plan."
Shikamaru turned his computer around and showed a blueprint of the building with red dots in certain places.
"Now if you two can shut up for at least 20 minutes then I can explain to you what it is we are going to do."
"Now there are at least 8 security guards on each floor. Makes enough sense because it is a provincial office, there are security cameras at every corner so the only way to make it through is either above of below them."
"That's impossible"
"How so Uchiha?"
"That building is 80 floors high, if we go above or below them is on the floor below the marked floor or above it. Either way we would be caught."
"Very True but I think there is way to get through. You see along side the building there is only one spot that is not on alert. If you two can stay in that area you can get up to your fathers floor."
"Why not the air vents?"
"Air vents Naruto?"
"Well yeah. Haven't you guys seen any spy movies? I mean most business building have an A/C. And Sasukes father works in one of those fancy pancy places so it must have an A/C. Then we should be able to get through the vents."
"That didn't even cross my mind…Sasuke when you went to your fathers work in the summer did they have an A/C?"
"Yes. He also said they installed new ventilating systems the G5 A/C I think it was called."
"You sure?"
"Yes I think that is what it was."
"Hmm" Shikamaru turned his computer around and typed in a few words and smirked and turned the computer screen around. A website was being shown to them both and the air conditioning system Sasukes father had was shown.
"We ran into some luck. This system has air ducts that a baby elephant could walk through, so that shouldn't be a problem and it just makes things go faster."
Naruto grinned and Sasuke nodded as Shikamaru went back to the blueprint of his fathers building.
"The First thing you're going to do is-"
---
Sasuke and Naruto walked out of the cab as Shikamaru walked up behind them coming out of hiding from behind a tree.
All three stopped at the front and switched on their cell phones.
"All right at 6:03PM I want to see you at the side of the building, I will be the in bathroom putting together the equipment and already have hacked into security"
"This is crazy."
"Yeah but you two are crazy enough to do it"
"No. He's the only really crazy enough to do it." Shikamaru and Sasuke turned their attention towards Naruto who was punching the air and making statements like 'I will succeed' and 'bring on them dogs'. It was an embarrassing sight.
"All right."
"GO"
Naruto and Sasuke walked off to the left as Shikamaru ran up to the front of the building and ran to reception.
"Ummm Excuse me?"
"Sorry no one can be inside the building unless they are employees or have permission to be here."
"No but I really, really have to go!"
"Go? Go where?"
"You know…"
"Oh. Oh! Second door to your left" The secretary said pointing to the direction of the bathroom
"Thanks!"
"No problem…" Shikamaru ran to the bathroom and checked no one was in any of the stalls. He locked the front door and took a seat on one of the toilets, placing his laptop on his lap.
"3…2…1" Shikamaru took a small pencil and pushed down a tile on the bathroom floor, the tile was loose and came off without much force. He pulled off the tile and saw a number of wires. He smirked and began opening other devices and such and hooked them up to his computer.
"And you go there" Shikamaru clipped a purple wire to a red one and 6 different screens of the security cameras were shown on his computer.
He pulled out his cell phone and plugged in ear phones and switched on his blue tooth, clipping the speaking portion on the front of his shirt.
"Naruto Sasuke im in. I have the security camera footage and its clear. Climb into the second vent on the west side of the building."
Naruto and Sasuke ran over to the left side of the building and saw three different vents, the looked at the numbers above and saw the number 2 above one of them. They opened the latch and walked in, closing the door behind them.
"All right Nara we are in here."
"Hold on. Im going to call you and answer your cell phone, once you answered it put it in your pocket and make sure you do not hang up. Repeat do not hang up."
"Got it"
"Naruto should do the same as well"
"All right. Hey idiot, when your cell phone rings answer it but do not hang up, put it into your pocket."
"Yeah okay."
Shikamaru dialed both of their numbers and they did as they were told to do.
"All right now I have your location. Continue moving foreword and turn left at the third corridor."
Sasuke nodded and crawled through the air ducts.
"You two just continue to crawl foreword when I tell you, turn left right or climb upwards. Got it?"
"Yeah. How's security doing?"
"Uchiha don't ask me questions. Trust me you two will not get caught tonight as long as you keep your voices low and listen to me."
"You better not let us get caught"
"I have a back up if you guys get yourselves in any problem"
Sasuke continued to crawl foreword with Naruto behind him.
"Say Sasuke?"
He took a turn left and answered Naruto. "Yeah what?"
"Why are we trying to get into your dad's computer?"
"I need…some passwords that we cannot have access to unless we use his computer."
"Yeah but what are the passwords for?"
"Im trying to find someone."
"Oh. So what you going to be a cop now teme?"
"No. And im not going to be a spy either. I just need this information and I will hang up my spying career forever."
"Oh come on teme. You know you are enjoying this, its pretty cool going on a mission like this. Get the feel for the real thing."
"Yeah I guess."
"All right climb upwards for four levels and make a right. There should be a door their but do not open it until I tell you to"
"Got it."
"Teme?"
"What Dobe?"
"What is driving you to do this? I mean you're usually not up to do this kind of thing but now you are here and you are the spark of this whole plan."
"You want to know the truth?"
"Of course. Im your best friend teme you can tell me."
"Love Naruto. That crazy emotion called love."
"Love?"
"Hn. I don't repeat myself dobe"
"I figured that out a long time ago."
"Well I answered your questions." They got to the door Shikamaru told them of and sat there waiting for Shikamaru's do.
"You two ready?"
"Well we wouldn't be in here if we weren't"
"All right on the count of three. Run towards the elevator, down the hallway to your right and you two should spot it."
"1"
"2"
"3" Naruto and Sasuke jumped out of the air vent and stopped in their tracks looking left and right to see if anyone saw them. When the coast was clear they ran down the hallway and got to the elevator.
"Now press the button pointing downwards"
"Nara. My fathers office is on the sixty fifth floor, shouldn't we be heading upwards?"
"I told you Uchiha. Don't question me! I know what im doing now hurry up!"
Naruto pressed the elevator button that pointed downwards. There was a little ping sound and the elevator doors opened they both walked in and watched the doors close.
"All right now what Nara?"
"Press the floor level 6. Once you get down there walk across to the elevator in front and press the fifty ninth floor button, and get off from there. I will tell you what to do when you are in the second elevator."
Naruto looked at Sasuke and pressed the button with the number 6 on it.
"I don't get it Teme. Why does Nara want us to change elevators?"
"I think he knew what was coming. There are elevators on only a certain number of floors. But on floor 58 is the last elevator that heads downwards. So if we got off from there, there would have been a chance of being caught."
"To make sure of that not happening, we had to get on the elevator that went up to a higher floor, because at those high floors people would only take the stairs downwards because that's is the only way down…The stairs are far away from the elevators so we will not get caught."
"Bingo Uchiha."
"Well I think its stupid that they don't have elevators on every floors."
"Just be thankful you do not work here."
The elevator got to floor six. Naruto and Sasuke walked across the hallway and stood in front of the second elevator. When it arrived they walked in a pressed the number 59 and the doors closed.
"What next Nara?"
"It is pretty clear from here on. Just walk up the stairs to the floor your father works on, I will take care of his secretary and by then I would have hacked into his lock of his door and it will be open for you."
"Brilliant."
"Tell that to my aching hands"
"Hn."
Once Naruto and Sasuke got to the fifty ninth floor they walked up the stairs to the sixty fifth floor. The walked into Sasukes fathers office, closed the door and Sasuke switched on his fathers computer.
"Nice work you two I will see you in 2 minutes."
"All right."
Both Sasuke and Naruto pulled out their earpieces and cell phones out from their places and took a seat on the chairs. Shikamaru came in shortly and took a seat at the main chair.
He typed in a few things and smirked.
"What?"
"Its incredible, the speed of this computer, the complexity, the design it's a pure work of art."
"Yes its amazing hurry up Nara! Im starving and I want my ramen!"
"Just shut up. Troublesome."
"Lets hack this baby. Sasuke USB please"
Sasuke handed over the USB to Shikamaru and he plugged it into the computer, he pulled out his laptop and the wire he used before. He connected the two computers together and did what he had done before earlier in the morning.
"Sasuke what was her username?"
"Chemical Pink"
"Hmpf. Found her"
He rolled over to his computer and wrote in a few things.
"Yep. Ah there you are you little bastard. The virus that blocked me last time."
He moved the mouse and clicked on the terminate button, the message that was shown before when they tried to hack into Chemical's computer disappeared. Shikamaru smirked and wrote some points down onto his computer. He saved the information onto his computer and the USB. He logged off Sasukes fathers computer and went back to his.
"All right Sasuke I can only know who this person is in three days"
"Fair enough. Can you also find me the three families that had access to the book 'To protect one another'?"
"Can I?"
"Just do it Nara. Don't be a smart ass"
"All right. Your lucky I know you so well or I would have left you by now."
"Hn."
"Guys im starving!"
"Naruto! Shut up!"
"I will not teme!"
"Please be quiet!"
Sasuke and Naruto glared at each other and looked their opposite ways. Naruto walked up to the wall that had a phone and smiled.
"Hey guys im going to order us a pizza!"
"NO NARUTO DON'T!"
Naruto lifted the phone off its machine and suddenly there was a beeping noise from the door and a red flashing light in the room.
"Shit! Way to go Naruto! They found us hacking into the system! Lets get out of here!"
"Nara what are the families."
"Uchiha, Hebi, and Haruno"
"Thanks."
All three of them ran through the hallways as Shikamaru was pushing an earphone into his ear.
"Guys take a left and there should be a laundry shoot!"
"Oh heck no!"
They got to it as they all stared at it.
"You go first dobe!" Sasuke pushed Naruto down the shoot as him and Shikamaru followed behind. The landed in a pile of dirty clothing and stood up as fast at they could. They heard some stepping from the outside and Shikamaru led them down a passageway.
"Shikamaru where are we going?" Naruto asked not really wanting to know.
"The sewage system"
"The what!?!?!?!"
"It's the only way we wont get caught Naruto! Sewer or jail, choose!"
"Okay okay! But I never did want to go down there."
"Lets get down there" Sasuke grabbed a railing flipped over and slid down it.
Shikamaru and Naruto followed but Naruto fell off midway and fell on his back at the bottom.
"Follow me!"
"We've been doing that all night!"
Naruto, Sasuke and Shikamaru ran through the sewage tunnels for a good 10 minutes before Shikamaru got to a ladder where he climbed up and pushed up a metal object.
"All right get out guys!"
The three of them got out of the sewage and looked around. They were in front of their school.
"Teme…"
"Yeah?"
"YOU MADE ME RUN THROUGH A SEWER JUST TO GET PASSWORDS!"
"Hn."
"YOU TOLD ME NOTHING ABOUT SEWERS!"
"Tch."
"Would you two just shut up? Sasuke I will give you the rest of the information on Monday morning, enjoy your weekend."
Shikamaru pulled out a bill and placed it into Naruto's hand. "And Naruto go buy as much ramen as this money can afford"
"AWESOME!"
"Nara. Here" Sasuke pulled out a sheet of paper and placed it into his hand. "Write down your three items and give me the sheet on Monday morning"
"Thanks Uchiha."
"Hn. Thanks Nara"
"Hey Guys! Are you going to thank me?"
The two looked at each other and shrugged. "Later Naruto"
Shikamaru and Sasuke turned when two security gaurds stood in front of the two and grabbed them. They pulled Sasuke and Shikamaru's arms behind them and place hand cuffs on their wrists.
"Shit! What's wrong officers?"
"You three hacked into the system, we need you to come down to the station."
The Officer that held Shikamaru grabbed hold of Naruto as well and pulled them all into the police car.
---
Once they were at the station they were all thrown into the same jail.
"I WANT MY PHONE CALL! I STILL DIDN'T GET MY PIZZA!"
"Naruto if you're going to call someone then do so."
"Hey guys" The three boys looked away from each other and up to Sakura who was standing there waving with her smile.
"How did you guys land up here?"
"Long story…" Shikamaru drawled out with a annoyed and tired tone.
"Nara just get us out of here."
"Sure Uchiha. Let me call the magic pixie's of key land and im sure we will have this cells keys in no time!" Shikamaru said with a sarcastic tone. Even he could be sarcastic when he wanted to be.
"Do your hacking."
"NO WORRIES GUYS! ILL KICK THE DOOR OPEN!"
"Not a good plan…you will only hurt yourself…"
"No Way! Naruto Uzumaki never gets hurt! Except emotionally when Sasuke stole my first kiss!"
"That was your first kid dobe?" Sasuke said with a smirk on his face
"Uh no! It was my first man kiss! No I mean…I always kiss like a man but I don't kiss other men…no offence"
"None taken…I think…"
Shikamaru went up to the lock and in three seconds the door swung open.
"Nara. That was the fastest hacking you've ever done!"
"Nah, they left the key in the door" Shikamaru said holding up the keys with a lazy expression.
"Guys! Wait! You can't just waltz out of here!" Sakura said in a worried tone
"Yes we can Sakura…" Sasuke said walking out of the jail cell casually and smirking at her.
She blushed and looked away her female instincts squealing, more or less her inner self.
CHA! HE IS SOOO FINE!!!! DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THAT SMIRK! Screamed inner Sakura, exactly what the real Sakura was thinking.
"Uh, what I meant Sasuke is that if they catch you walking out you will be in more trouble than you are already in!"
"That is where you come, Sakura are you any good at acting?" Said Sasuke with a questioning tone.
---
Sakura sighed and walked out to the office and held her breath. She fell to the ground yelping in pain.
"Oww Oww! My…umm THUMB! OWW MY THUMB!"
Everyone in the office ran over to Sakura with worry. Naruto gave her a thumbs up and the three of them sneaked out.
"Oh no I think I sprained it! Oh wait no! It was just a splinter…ahahaha funny, that must have come in when I was coming down the stairs…" She looked left and right and darted for the door and left the office straight home.
She was sure to ask those three how they ended up there, and why.
Naruto had left long ago to the ramen shack. Shikamaru and Sasuke parted ways as they went different directions to their homes.
---
Everyone was getting what they wanted…
The pieces of the puzzle were finally coming together…
It was only a matter of time…
'How troublesome. I need to take a nap' Shikamaru thought to himself
'Ramen…ramen…ramen…more ramen…' Naruto thought to himself in a happy tone.
'Chemical Pink. It's a matter of time to when I will finally see you. I truly love you, I cannot wait until I see you.' Sasuke thought to himself unlocking the door of his home and entering.
Sirens were heard in the background of Kohona and three boys were smirking with pride. What they did today. Was indeed.
Crazy.

Perplexed – End
