Chapter 4: The Mission

30 minutes later after the incident Sakura arrived at the bridge. She noticed

Sasuke and Naruto waiting at the bridge for Kakashi, so she decided she would wait for him too.

"Hello Naruto" Sakura said with a smile. "HELLO SAKURA-CHAN!!" Naruto yelled with his stupid grin that always made Sakura smile. "Hi Sasuke-bastard" Sakura said just giving him a little cold stare, but then she turned it into a smile.

'Sasuke's Inner Mind: Wait a minute did Sakura the one who always called me Sasuke-kun just call me Sasuke-bastard!? That's odd but I'm getting more and more attracted to Sakura and 1 day she'll be mine.' "hn" was Sasuke's reply.

"Teme say hi to Sakura-chan." Naruto said. "…" "Okaaaay then, anyway Sakura-chan we are going to be gone for about 2 days. I hope you can stand to be away from your precious Kiba" Naruto said teasingly.

"Yes I can and Naruto if you tell anyone about what happened today or that we are going out I am going to kill you." Sakura said while giving Naruto an evil glare. 'Sakura's Inner Self: You got that right girlfriend and besides Kiba is a good kisser. Sakura's Inner Mind: Yea he is a good kisser.'

"Okay Sakura-chan whatever you say." Naruto said while smirking as if he would tell every one so Sakura said "If you don't tell anyone you will get a thank you present from me. ok?"

"OK!" Naruto said excited like a little kid. Out of nowhere there was a big puff of smoke and there was Kakashi standing there.

"Yo. How is everyone?" Kakashi said calmly as usual "We are all good Kakashi-sensei but YOUR LATE AGAIN!" Naruto and Sakura said at the same time.

"Sorry a black cat passed my path so I h-" Before Kakashi could finish his so called "excuse" Naruto and Sakura completed it for him. "So you had to take the long way to get here we know we know."

"I'm guessing I used that excuse before?" said Kakashi. "Yup" Naruto said.

"--'anyway let's go." said Kakashi. Sakura wanted to ask Kakashi something before they started to head to the gate.

"Kakashi-sensei, can I ask you something?" "Yes." Kakashi replied. "What is our mission?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Oh, Naruto didn't tell you?" Kakashi replied not surprised that Naruto forgot. "Nope." Sakura said still waiting for an answer. "sighs Ok, well there has been witnesses saying that they have seen ninjas near the border of the country who kills anyone who crosses the border. A messenger needs to get passed this border to deliver a treaty to another country. That's where we come in."

When Kakashi was done he looked around and saw that no one was listening. Naruto is asleep, Sakura is daydreaming about Kiba, and Sasuke is staring at Sakura and cursing to himself. "Hello? … Are you guys listening? Helloooo?"

Naruto wakes up, Sakura stops daydreaming, Sasuke stops cursing but doesn't stop looking at Sakura. "Huh? Oh…um, we were listening." Sakura said still in a small daze. "stares at all of them Riiight well lets get moving." Kakashi said while walking in the direction of the gate.

When they finally reached the gate the stopped and checked their supplies to see if they had everything. "Ok do we have everything and I mean everything." Kakashi asked while staring at Naruto who just sweatdropped and nodded. "Yes we do." said Sakura.

"Well not everything. Sakura-chan still needs her precious K-" before Naruto could finish his sentence Sakura slapped him. "Don't worry Kakashi-sensei we have everything."

Kakashi's Inner Mind: Hmmmm... I wonder why she slapped him...

"Ok….well let our misson begin." So with that Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi left the gates of Konoha and on their way to the border. After 8 hours passed, (It was 11:00 a.m when they left.)the group decided to stop and rest. "Hey, do you guys want to set up camp here?" Kakashi asked the exhausted group.

"Sure." All 3 of them said at once. "I hear a river about 10 minutes away from here so I'm going to go bathe myself there. No one and I mean no one go peek at me ok?" Sakura said while giving death glares to all of them.

"Ok." said Naruto. "Whatever." said Sasuke. "Kakashi-sensei I trust you more than those 2 but the same thing goes for you too." said Sakura.

"Trust me I won't do anything. You're my student geez." Kakashi said while taking out Icha Icha Paradise. Sakura's Inner Mind: Geez.. does he ever stop reading that? Sakura's Inner Self: Of course he doesn't. Sakura's Inner Mind: Forget I ever asked.

(Those of you who support SakuraxKakashi GO TO HELL!! XP)

"Well I'll be back." and with that Sakura left. Naruto then looked over to Sasuke and he could have sworn he saw him smirk or smile. "Kakashi, Naruto, I'm going to go get some firewood I'll be back." said Sasuke. "Ok Sasuke but let us know if you see anything strange." said Kakashi.

"hn." and with that Sasuke left, but he left in the direction of Sakura. "Kakashi-sensei? I think Sasuke lied about going to go get firewood." Naruto said curiously as to why Sasuke went in that direction. "He did." Kakashi replied.

"Well shouldn't we go get him?" Naruto asked. "No, because we don't know what he is going to do." Kakashi said while trying to analyze everything that just happened. "Oh, good point." Naruto said.

--Meanwhile--

Sakura is bathing in the river when she heard a noise. "Who's there? Come out whoever you are." Sakura said demandingly while wrapping herself in a towel. She then saw a figure come out from behind the tree.

"Sasuke? SASUKE! YOU PERVERT GET OUT OF HERE!" She then threw a small pebble at his head of course he could catch but it was small so he let it hit him on the head. "That was a warning shot NOW GO AWAY!" Sakura yelled, but then he started to walk towards her which wasn't a very far walk.

She then threw a bigger rock at him with as much force as she could put into it, but he caught it and continued to walk towards her. "THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING! NOW GO AWAY!" Sakura yelled but he did not stop walking towards her. Before she could find a larger stone to throw at him he pulled her out of the river and pinned her to the nearest tree.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU BASTARD!?" Sakura yelled. He then moved his face really close to Sakura until they were only an inch away from kissing. He then moved his lips to her ears and whispered "Stay away from Kiba. People like him make you weak. Leave him and go out with me."

He then moved back to the position they were in before. "Yeah right, as if I would go out with someone as ugly as you. Heck I would rather go out with Lee than you, and if you do anything to me then I will tell Kiba-kun." Sakura said while trying to escape his tight grip.

"Kiba isn't here so what are you going to do about it?" He then slowly moved his lips closer and closer to hers. Sakura's Inner Mind: Crap what am I going to do? I can't get free of his grip. I guess I'll just have to call for Kakashi and Naruto. Sakura's Inner Self: Or you can just let him kiss you and not tell Kiba. ;) Sakura's Inner Mind: That's it I'm not going to listen to you anymore. Sakura's Inner Self: Fine be that way. disappears.

He was now a centimeter away from kissing her when she screamed "NARUTO, KAKASHI HELP!"

--Meanwhile--

"Kakashi-sensei did you hear that?" Naruto asked Kakashi who nodded in reply. "Maybe we should go and check on her." Naruto said concerned for his pink haired friend. "We'll go and check on her now." Kakashi said to Naruto then started heading in the same direction where Sakura was.

"We're coming Sakura!" Naruto yelled to let her know that help was on the way.

--Back at the waterfall--

"Damn you Sakura! We'll finish this some other time and I'll be expecting an answer from you on whether you're going to choose him or me. Oh, and don't tell anyone about this or you just might lose a close friend." Sasuke said. He then gave her a quick kiss on the lips and disappeared.

"GO TO HELL YOU ASS-HOLE! GO TO HELL!" Sakura yelled. She then sat down at the trunk of the tree and sobbed. Just then Naruto and Kakashi and Naruto appeared at the scene to find a crying Sakura at the trunk of a tree.

Naruto walked over to her and asked Sakura "What's wrong Sakura-chan?" "wipes tears away someone attacked me and I just freaked out and screamed." Sakura lied. Sakura's Inner Mind: Damn it! I hate to lie to Naruto but I had to or I would have probably lost him forever. Damn you Sasuke! Sakura's Inner Self: Wasn't his kiss dreamy. Sakura's Inner Mind: No! Kiba's kisses are so dreamier. Sakura's Inner Self: Your right they are.

"Well it's ok cause we are here now so please don't cry ok?" Naruto said worriedly. "Ok. Naruto your such a good friend even though you can act like a jackass at times." Sakura said then gave Naruto a hug. Naruto's Inner Mind: Wait is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult? Oh, well it doesn't matter.

A few minutes later Sasuke appears. He gives her a smile while she's giving him a I-hate-you' look. "Sasuke you finally arrived." Naruto said. "Well I heard screaming so I dropped the fire wood and followed the direction where the scream came from which led me here." Sasuke said in his usual so called cool' voice.

Sakura gave him a whatever' look. "I think everybody needs to go to sleep now, so let's forget this ever happened ok?" Kakashi said noticing the looks Sakura was giving Sasuke.

"Ok Kakashi-sensei." All of them said at once. Then they headed of to bed with a big day coming up soon.

--2 days later--

They have finally reached the border and decide to wait a little bit before doing their final task. "Ok team 7 we need to take out those ninjas for the duke, so let's start this battle." Kakashi said. "Hai." Naruto Sakura and Sasuke said simultaneously.

As soon as Kakashi stepped across the border a shower kunai was thrown at him, but used a substitution jutsu. "The battle has begun. Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke get ready. Lets Go!" Kakashi said.

The battlefield is blazing with the color of blood. So far it looked as if Team 7 would win that was until Kakashi was injured by a poisoned kunai. Kakashi's body went numb and he fell down to the ground about ready to black out, but before he blacked out completely he used his scroll to call for backup. Even though Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke have trained a lot he knew they wouldn't be able to keep fighting like this forever now that he knows they have poisoned kunai.

--Back in Konoha--

"Tsunade-sama is there a reason why you brought us here?" Kiba asked Tsunade. "Yes Kiba there is. I need you 4; Kiba, Neji, Gaara, and Asuma; To go and retrieve Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi, and Sasuke. The ninjas that attacked them had poi-" Before Tsunade could finish Kiba cut her off. "What happened?" "Kiba if you let me fin-" Again Tsunade was cut off. "I said what happened?"

"Kiba let me finish and then I can tell y-" You get the point. "Just get to the point and tell me what happened. Oh, and please don't tell me that Sakura was kidnapped or worst killed." Kiba said freaking out a little bit.

"Why are you so concerned for Sakura?" Neji asked Kiba. "Do you really want to know?" Kiba asked Neji. "Yes obviously." Neji said while rolling his eyes.

Kiba's Inner Mind: I can't tell anyone that we are dating yet until we've dated for a week so I know we were meant to be together. "I'm waiting." Neji said getting slightly annoyed. "Huh? Oh…..um… yea…. Well me and Sakura made a promise that when one of us is in danger we would come running to save the each other.

"Okay…" Neji said knowing he was lying but he didn't bother to go further on the subject. "Can we go yet Tsunade-sama?" Kiba asked getting inpatient. "Yes, now go and save your comrades! Oh, and Gaara once everyone is saved please take the injured to your hospital in Suna." Tsunade said. "Hai." Gaara said and with that everyone left at the speed of light. (XD that really fast)

--back to the fighting scene--

Naruto and Sasuke finally fall to the ground which leaves Sakura all alone to fend for herself. (these words in italic that I'm about to type are attacks Sakura is doing.) Front kick to the left. Back flip to dodge incoming kunai. Throw kunai behind. Jump and Double Round kick in mid-air. Throws kunai with explosives tags on them. A kunai hits her left leg and she trips, but she regains her balance.

Sakura's Inner Mind: Man, I'm almost out of chakra so I can't use anymore healing techniques. Ugh I wish someone would come and help me. After a while of fighting, there were only 10 ninjas left.

Only one of them were at a jonin level which Sakura assumed was the leader. Another kunai finally got to Sakura's other leg which made her fall to the ground. She couldn't get up cause her les were useless at the moment.

All 10 of the ninjas had surrounded her now. Then 1 ninja asked her "You there! Are you Tsunade's apprentice?" "And what if I am?" Sakura replied.

"I want you to tell us Tsunade's ninja number." The ninja asked Sakura. "Like heck I'll tell you!" Sakura yelled at the ninja. "Damn you!" the ninja said then kicked her in the stomach really hard.

"Ugh coughs up blood" Sakura was really in pain now. "Now I'm going to ask you again. What is Tsunade's ninja number !?" the ninja asked once again slightly annoyed. "Again! I'm not going to tell you jackass!" Sakura yelled. "What the hell did you just call me bitch?" the ninja said angrily. "You heard me. I called you a jackass. J-A-C-K-A-S-S" Sakura retorted in a smart way.

The ninja was really angry now so he ordered all the other ninjas to deep-cut her on the back, horizontally, once each. So they did as they were told except one of the ninjas got clumsy and made a vertical slash which ended in a result of her shirt ripped in half. Her entire back was showing with the deep cuts in it.

Sakura was knocked out by the final blow from the clumsy ninja. In her position right now it looked more like rape than torture. The captain of the small group of ninja gave the clumsy ninja a: you-baka- look.

So the clumsy ninja replied with a: I'm-sorry- look. The captain then sensed 4 people heading this way. "Everyone get into your battle stance! We have visitors!" the captain ordered.

The end of chapter 4.
