he Demon winged Protector Chapter 13: Sasuke leaves Konoha
Almost a single year had past by. Naruto was doing quite well on missions. He was very busy.
He often took Sasuke with him, but he just got back from one that didn't involve Sasuke being there. When he got into the office...
"Sakura...what's wrong?" Naruto asked. She was crying.
"Sasuke. He...left Konoha" Sakura said. Naruto was shocked to hear this, but he bolted right into the Office, where he saw Shikiamru being briefed about a mission.
"Tsunade. You should know that Sasuke left. We need to get him back" Naruto said. Tsunade was ticked off at that.
"For somebody of your stature, you sure are a dumbass. She was briefing me on that very mission" Shikimaru said. Naruto sighed.
"Well, Shikimaru has been briefed about it. Gather a team of Genin to Retrieve him" Tsunade said. Naruto sighed.
"I'm going with. Sasuke has been my responsibility. He has the Curse mark from Orochimaru, and I've been trying to figure a way to either control it, or remove it" Naruto said. Tsunade sighed.
"Fine. Just get him back" Tsunade said. Both Ninjas left the office.
"Okay. Best Genin for the job would be Kiba, Shino, and Neji, and maybe Hinata" Naruto said. Shikimaru smirked.
"We're also brining Chouji. He and I work well together, and this is a major team mission. Shino is currently on a mission right now, so we can't get him to help" Shikimaru said. Naruto nodded.
"Front gate in 20 minutes" Naruto said. He went to get Neji.
He was welcomed in to the Hyuuga district, and explained everything to Hiashi.
"So it's important that Either Neji or Hinata comes along" Naruto said. Hiashi understood. Hinata came out. She looked awful. Like she wasn't herself. Mind you, she was discovered to be behind the Hyuuga kill a few weeks ago, which lead her to having the ultimate form of the Byakugan, Tetra. But she looked bent out of shape.
"I'm sorry Naruto, but I'm not coming. I've had to much on my mind lately. I can't seem to concentrate, as I'm hearing voices in my head. I think it's Jenova, or Sephiroth" Hinata said. Naruto sighed.
"You've also been working way to hard. You should relax for a while. Tell you what. I'll make sure you relax when I get back" Naruto said. Neji heard everthing, as he was tehre.
"When do we start?" He simply asked. Naruto looked at his watch.
"Dammit. We're late. Hang on Neji" Naruto said, grabbing Neji, and teleporting to the front gate. Kiba, Chouji, and Shikimaru were all there.
"Shikimaru, when it comes to the orders, I'm putting you in charge. It would be wise for you to make a formation that would benefit us all best" Naruto said. Shikimaru told them that Kiba and Akamaru are front, Followed by Shikimaru, Naruto, Chouji, and Neji.
"Before we go, it's important I say this. Sasuke and I are great friends. But since he got the curse mark, he hasn't been himself. At least before, his attitude was improving. If you aren't going to rescue a friend, rescue a comrade. No doubt, that Orochimaru would have sent his best men, so be extra careful. I don't want to see my friends become casualties of war" Naruto said. The entire team agreed with that statement, and ran off, in beginning their quest to bring Sasuke Uchiha back.
