Prologe part 2: The mission

******Tsunade's pov********

"Alright now as I have said I called you five here because I have a mission for you. I want you five to go out and bring Sasuke and Sakura back." I said to the five ninja in front of me. Naruto was litteraly crying. Choji wasn't even eating he was so shocked. He had droped his chips on the floor and his eyes where as wide and a baseball. Shikamaru was standing there his mouth practicly hiting the floor. And Neji had a extreamly hurt face."Poor Naruto" I sighed and looked everyone in the eyes.

" you will be leaving in 30 minutes I expect you packed and ready I will see you off." I said

"hai" all five ninja said at the same time.

" you are dissmissed" I said as everyone dissapeared.

******Naruto's pov*******

"I can't believe Sasuke left and took Sakura with him. Damnit didn't he know I am in love with her I am so going to kill him she gets hurt"Naruto thought

" Let me take care of this problem I will bring them back."The nine tailed fox said in Naruto's head.

"no you will kill them now shut up"Naruto thought

"UGH stupid boy you won't get them back without my help and you know it. Stop being so damn Stubbern and let me take over I can complete this mission for you"the fox said

"no"Naruto thought. The conversation was silenced by a soft nock on the door. Naruto walked to the door and opened it to reavele a blushing lavender eyed Hanata but of course Naruto didn't notice.

"Hanata what are you doing here."I asked

" I wwwanted ttto sssay iiim ssssorry aaabout sssakura aaand ssssay ggggood bbbbye bbbbefore yyyyou lllllleave" Hanata studdered and was about to leave when Naruto said " wait please stay it would be nice to have someone to talk to befor I go" I said as I felt a blush rush up to my cheeks.

"ooook I wwwill ssstay" She said smiling as the blush got deeper.

*******Neji's pov*********

My back leaned on the gate post as a waited for the rest of the group. I heard foot steps as I looked up my eyes met a milky brown set of eyes that belonged to Tenten.

"Hey Neji sorry I took of back there I had to stop sakura."Tenten said while looking down. Slowly two tears ran down the side of her cheeks. Neji walked up to Tenten and snaked his arms around her waist and whispered it's ok into her slowly she leaned her head on his sholder as he conforted her. Neji had known for a while that tenten had a crush on him and didn't take advantage of it like Sasuke would. Tenten slowly got out of Neji's grasp said thank you and good bye and left to go back to the hospital. Not to long after Shikamaru, Choji ,and Kiba showed up and then five minutes later Naruto. Fifteen minutes later Tsunade arrived.

"Alright ready boys" Lady Tsunade said

"BELIEVE IT"yelled Naruto. Tsunade rolled her eyes at Naruto and turned to Shikamaru.

"Shikamaru since you are the Chunin you will lead the group" She then turned back to the rest of the group "I will give you fifteen minutes to make a plan" Tsunade said

"Hai"the five said

Lady Tsunade left and it took Shikamaru to make a plan and a nother five minutes to tell everyone the plan. Then we all took of into the forest.

*******Sakura's Pov*********

I stared at the bucket that held Sasuke Uchiha when the white haired man spoke.

"Alright we will rest here"he said

"Hai" all the rest of us said

I looked around at my suroundings the red headed girl was siting on the bucket with Sasuke in it. The white haired man was leaning against a tree thinking while the black haired boy with eight arms was ranting about how annoying it was to have to bring me along. The red haired man was setting up a couple of traps.

"God why do we have to bring this annoying little girl that talks so much and she has pink hair for goodness sakes." He complained as my sweat droped .

"SHUT UP YOU IDIOT she hasn't said a word since she got to the village gate." The girl said clearly annoyed. Then she turned to me" Is your hair dyed or something"she asked me.

"Nope this is natural I get it from my mom"I said. Then all of a sudden one of the bombs when off. I spun around just in time to see Naruto, Choji, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Neji come flying out from where the bomb when off.

"SAKURA"yelled Naruto

********Neji's pov********

We had senced a farmiliar chakra coming from the north so we followed it when all of a sudden a four bombs when of on all sides. The one from behind us flung us forward and we landed in a clearing. I looked up and the first thing I saw as pink hair and beautiful Emeralds eyes staring at me. A large red haired man steped up

"I'll take these kids you guyes get Sakura and Sasuke out of here" he said

"Hai, come on Sakura let's go" a red haired girl said. Sakura turned and followed the girl and the three boys into the woods. Then my eyes shifted as Choji stepped up .

"I'll take care of this guy you guyes go and get Sakura and Sasuke." Choji said

"Hai" all of us said

"SAKURA WAIT"Naruto yelled as all of us but Choji took off.

We followed the sound and Sakura for ten minutes when all of a sudden this big web was flung at us. We halted to a stop. I landed in a big clearing stuck in a big web. The remaining ninja looked at me while Sakura just stared at the bucket which I asumed held Sasuke. This had been the quietest I had ever seen Sakura be. The only other person on my side was Naruto who was trying to get Sakura to come with him but it wasn't working Sakura wasn't speaking. Then out of the blue some tall man appeared and grabed the bucket with Sasukein it. He stoped infront of the black haired boy with eight arms.

"What is the girl doing here and why haven't you killed her yet idiot" the tall man with long white hair asked

"SHE IS WITH US. SASUKE WOULDN'T LEAVE WITH OUT HER AND SHE IS QUITE STRONG AND USE FUL SHE IS A MEDIC" Yelled the red head girl from afar.

"Ah, I see" he said while turning and looking sakura over. Then he turned to me and back to the eight armed boy"can you handle the kid" he said while pointing at me.

"Yah" the eight armed boy said.

The white haired man turned to Sakura"come on girl let's get Sasuke back to the hide out" he said once again looking over Sakura.

"Hai" Sakura said

"Just don't get in my way or I will kill you " He said while both him and Sakura took off.

"NO SAKURA COME BACK HERE"Naruto yelled takeing off after the two. I turned my attention to my apponent as he charged at me.

******Naruto's Pov********

I followed in the direction that Sakura had gone and I soon got to a clearing where the man and Sakura where standing. The man had set the bucket down and Sakura had her hand on the box. The man looked at me as I entered.

"I knew you would follow I guess I will have to get rid of you" he turned to Sakura" take the bucket over there and stay out of my way" he turned back to me"if you can beat me I will give you the boy and the girl." Sakura moved the box over to the side out of the way of the fight and sat down to watch. I was so mad

"Come on boy let me out I can win this battle instantly"Said thenine tailed fox. Naruto just ignored him and sommoned a lot of clones. They all started attacking the white haired man. Then out of nowhere this long bone came out of the guys body and he got rid of all the clones within two minutes. Naruto Growled and tried again but was interupted when the box exploded and there stood Sasuke.

"SASUKE" Naruto yelled

Sasuke just laughed and turned to Sakura. He held his hand out for Sakura to help her up. She gladly took his hand and just stared. Sasuke turned back to me.

"come on Sasuke lets go home " I said to him. He just laughed. He turned to Sakura.

"let's go Sakura"Sasuke said. My eyes widened at that statement. He was actually letting Sakura come with him.

"HHHai" was all Sakura said and she slowly took off after Sasuke.

I turned to look at my opponent to see that he was charging I had no time to dodge so I prepared my self for the pain. The pain never came. I opened my eyes to see Rock Lee standing in front of me and the man Ten feet away.

"Go Naruto and bring Sasuke and Sakura-chan back" Lee said I didn't have to argue with that I just took off after them. I got to a waterfall where Sakura and Sasuke had stoped and where facing me.

"LEAVE US ALONE NARUTO" Sakura yelled

"why" I said

"because we want to get stronger" Sasuke said

"Shut up Sasuke-teme I wasn't talking to you" I said

"IT IS WHAT SASUKE SAID WE WHAT TO GET STRONGER NOW LEAVE US ALONE" Sakura yelled as my eyes widened. Sasuke stared at her and then back to me.

"why are you leaving sakura" I asked

"LIKE I SAID I WANT POWER IDIOT AND TO BE WITH SASUKE" Sakura yelled turning to Sasuke. She put her hand on his arm "lets go Sasuke-kun" she said

"yah lets go Sakura" he said as he started to walk away. Before I could stop them I felt a very big pain in the back of my neck "Sleep well Naruto and don't follow us" Sakura whispered placing a kiss on my forhead. Then everything went black.
