Chapter 2

It had been a week that the group had been traveling together. Everybody seemed to get along with Naruto, unless that is if you're counting Sakura as a person. But that's one person out of seven, so she's ruled out. Just then a field of ice came to view. They were there at last.

"We're here! We're here! Finally! At last! We're here!" shouted a very excited Naruto until he slipped on the ice and skidded at least 100 feet before crashing into a large tree. Everyone winced in sympathy, except for Sakura. She was laughing at Naruto's predicament. Then Sasuke ran after Naruto, followed by Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Kunerari, and Kakashi dragging a protesting Sakura along.

"Moron! It's called 'Land of Ice' for a reason! A REASON!" Sasuke yelled after him, going to help his best friend. Shino started to wonder why they sent a hyperactive kid to be their guide, Kiba was wondering if he did this quite often, Kunerari was wondering if he had any common sense what so ever, Kakashi was wondering how Sasuke befriended him so quickly, Sakura was hoping he got a concussion, and Hinata was hoping he hit the tree hard enough so his mask would fall of yet he would still be ok. Just then a fan appeared out of nowhere, hitting poor Naruto on the head. Everybody winced, except for Sakura for she was too busy laughing.

"MORON! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE COME HERE YET YOU STILL SLIP ON THE ICE AND RUN INTO THIS TREE EVERY SINGLE TIME!" yelled a girl, who appeared holding the fan that had just whacked Naruto the moment before. By this time, almost everybody was thinking,

"He does this every single time he comes here, on the same tree…" Sakura however was thinking,

"HA! What a moron!" Just then a boy with red hair and raccoon like eyes appeared with another boy with brown hair and this weird bundle on his back appeared. Naruto looked up.

"Temari-nii-chan? Kankaru-nii-san? Gaara-nii-san? What are you guys doing here? And what's with the Sand headbands?" he asked. (Ruki44: Everyone just think of how the Sand Trio looks like in the Naruto series cuz I really don't feel like describing it to you all. Just think Gaara-kun without his 'Love' tattoo on his forehead… Naruto: It's kind of hard too… Takato: Yea, it's like my goggles and me, hard to pry apart. Link: Hmm, yea just not doing it… Ruki44: Hinata better come back quick from shock therapy, I can't have a story without Ruki and Tetra fighting and Hinata being, well Hinata!) Everyone was thinking at this time, except Sasuke because he knows who they are,

"THESE PEOPLE ARE RELATED?!" Naruto gets up and dusts himself off.

"What are you guys doing here anyway?" he asks, asking everyone's unasked question.

"To give you all guys the new change in your mission. Kohana dudes, we have received information that the ninja you are supposed to be tracking is not a Level C ranked as originally thought, but instead a B-ranked, maybe even an A or S-ranked ninja. What's even more troubling is that this particular ninja is entering the Chunin exams. So in order not to look suspicious, you guys must as well. Now there is a problem it seems, a couple ones at that. First off that you guys are rookies, even if you are talented, you're rookies. Plus one of your teams doesn't have enough people to participate. So in order to solve these problems, Naruto is going to be the other member of the particular team, Naruto here is a leaf headband by the way, and by tomorrow, two others teams, both of them rookies, but it will be easier for you guys to blend in. But there was another problem, you see, the leader of one of the teams has a cold so this hyperactive person is filling in for him." Kankaru answered. Gaara though was sitting a little corner.

"What's with him?" Kiba asked concerned.

"He's now officially scared of the color green and orange together. While we were at Kohana, some pair of nut jobs came running up to us, yelling at the top or their lungs, something about the 'Springtime of Youth' or something along the lines of that…if you were there, you would understand." Temari answered, looking at Gaara sympathetically. Just then Kakashi joined Gaara in the little corner.

"I know how you feel…tune them out, if you can. It helps…some…" he said rocking back and forth. Now then Kunerari looked at Temari questionably, trying to find some hope in this awful situation.

"But you said one of them had a cold, so a hyperactive person if filling in for him." She said, hoping it was Gai… (Naruto: That's just mean Ruki-chan! Takato and Link: No it's not… Ruki44: Would you want to be on a mission with Gai and Lee both yelling about the 'Springtime of Youth'? Naruto: shivers Ugh, hell no. Ruki44: There you go.) Temari sighs a bit sadly.

"Unfortunately, it wasn't the guy in the green spandex, it was some guy smoking…Asuma I think he was called…" Temari trailed off. Kunerari moaned. No Asuma and she had to put up with Gai and his clone Lee…things were gonna be like hell…

"Ano, Temari-chan? Who's the hyperactive person that's filling in for Asuma-sensei?" Hinata asked timidly, though her stutter was gone, thanks to Naruto. He talked to her a lot and therefore she got more comfortable around people, sorta anyway. Around Naruto, she stutters, wonder why… (Naruto: Yea! Me too! Why does she stutter! Ruki44, Takato, and Link: shakes head Moron…)

"Someone named Anko…" Temari said thoughtfully. Kunerari then joined Kakashi and Gaara in the little corner. Correction, now it was gonna be hell…

Naruto: WHAT THE HELL I HAVE TO BE ON MISSION WITH CRAZY LADY AND GAI-SENSEI! joins Gaara, Kunerari, and Kakashi in corner...

Takato: Um ok, since Ruki44 is getting some cheez-its and proberbly getting sugar high, Review people!
