Chapter 6- The Mission

Normal POV:

Nejin and Naturo arrived at the Village Gates where Shikari and Konohamaru were waiting.

"I know you're late Naturo, but you too Nejin?"Shikari scolded

"We're here aren't we. Let's just get going Konohamaru-sensei. It'll be a long way to Iwagakure."Naturo said as he started to walk.

"It'll be your first mission as Genin. Iwagakure is very hostile towards Konoha ninja, so I want you all to remove your headbands. It's recon only, so don't screw it up!"Konohamaru said gruffly.

The team then set out and everything was normal until night fell.

Nejin POV:

"Hey Konohamaru-sensei, where are we going to sleep. I didn't bring a tent or anything."I said realizing that Naturo and Shikari hadn't either.

"We'll be sleeping on the ground. It'll have to be before we reach Iwagakure's boarders. I would say we'll camp out here. Stand back..."Konohamaru said as he dropped a bunch of sticks and dry grass into a pile.

"Wait Konohamaru-sensei, we're all going to sleep together? Surely not in the same spot?"Shikari said suddenly.

"Why wouldn't we. Unless you know how to sleep in a tree."I said coldly

"Sorry if I..."Shikari started until Konohamaru-sensei cut her off.

"Stop arguing. We're all sleeping under the stars together. Now get some sleep, we'll need all of our energy for tomorrow."he said

Then Konohamaru-sensei made some handsigns and blew a fireball onto the pile of stuff.

"You gotta teach us that move!"Naturo yelled loudly

"Didn't Konohamaru say we were on a recon mission. Be quiet Naturo!"I said

Normal POV:

The team finally went to bed a few hours later. Everything was peaceful for now until they were shaken awake.

"I've thought of something. If this mission gets dangerous you all need to get back to Konohagakure with the information."Konohamaru whispered darkly

"We can't leave you. If you die then we're all going down."They all yelled back at him.

"I'm serious, and if you don't agree you can't go. I won't let you come if you can't think about the mission."Konohamaru said once more.

"We'll only leave you if we absolutely must Konohamaru...sensei"Shikari choked out. They all sat in silence until Shikari cried herself to sleep.
