Naruto Mis-begotten
Wind and Wave
"So that's the bridge!" Naruto exclaimed looking at the huge structure through the mist. He couldn't move to much because of a certain lavender haired girls in his lap.
"Uh sensei, that boat looks a little small." Naruto said as he looked at the boat that was to take them to the land of waves.
"It's alright, the girls will just have to sit in somebodies lap." Minato said and laughed at the blushes.
"Well, if thats what we have to do." Naruto said and jumped into the boat.
"Come on Hinata, you can sit in my lap." Naruto said nonchalantly, causing Hinata to turn three shades of red.
"If you feel uncomfortable sitting in the lap of that dummy, you can sit with me." Sasuke said and gave Hinata the smile that used to make the girls back home swoon. Hinata looked at Sasuke with a large frown and hopped into the boat, and blushing sat herself on Narutos lap. Gaara got in next followed by Yakumo who sat herself comfortably on his lap, then Minato, There guide, and finally a scowling Sasuke.
"Yes, thats the bridge that Tazuna's building." The boat driver said.
"I've heard of Tazuna. He's supposed to be a genius, but I didn't know he lived here." Minato said as the small boat passed under the huge bridge.
"Yes, Tazuna is a resident of the land of the waves, that is why this bridge is considered his most important creation. It is the one hope of our people to break free of Gato."
"Hey, if this Tazuna guy is so important, why weren't we hired to protect him?" Naruto asked perceptively.
"That's a good question." Minato said.
"Tazuna left a week ago for the village hidden in the leaves to ask for his own protection." The man said causing everyones head but Gaara's to snap up.
"The village hidden in the leaves you say." Minato said
"Yes, but if Tazuna should fail and be killed, if we have skilled bodyguards protecting the bridge we should be able to complete it without him, or so he told me." The driver said as they neared shore.
"This is as far as I can take you." The man said as the boat bumped against the shore. Deciding not to wait, Naruto scooped up Hinata, who gave a squeak, and leapt out of the boat onto land, setting the small girl down with a grin.
"Sorry bout that Hinata, but it was getting a little cramped in there." He told her as he stretched out the kinks.
"That's Okay Naruto-kun." Hinata said, already missing the warmth of his body against hers.
"Alright, on to the village." Minato said as he climbed out of the boat, along with Sasuke, then Gaara, who helped Yakumo out of the boat.
"Hey Minato." Sasuke said to get their sensies attention.
"...?" Minato asked as they gather up their packs.
"What do we do if that Tazuna guy comes back with leaf village Ninja. We have three clan members, The son of a Kazekage, and the host of a demon, don't you think that would get their attention?" He asked.
"Do you want to abandon the mission and go back?" Minato asked
"No way!" Naruto shouted
"Shut up dobe, this doesn't concern you." Sasuke snapped venomously.
"What you say to me!" Naruto shouted back
"Thats enough you two." Minato said firmly
"And Sasuke, that question was for everyone." He said, causing the boy to scowl.
"Well I say we keep going, I mean we've already come this far." He said determined.
"I agree." Gaara said. Minato looked at Hinata and Yakumo, who both nodded.
"Well then, thats settled." Minato said and they set off. Walking along the road they heard a rustling in the brush.
"What's that!" Naruto yelled and jumped into the bush. Everyone heard rustling and scuffling until Naruto popped up with a bashful grin and a rabbit in his arms.
"Idiot." Sasuke said, drawing a scowl from Hinata.
"All right Naruto, no more goofing around." Minato said when he heard a whistling sound behind them.
"Get down!" He shouted and pulled Hinata down as everyone dived for cover as a giant sword flew over their heads. The group raised their heads as a man landed deftly on top of the Massive sword.
"I thought this was the group of weaklings who were escorting the bridge builder, but I guess I was Mistaken." The man said in a guttural voice.
