"Kurenai." Sarutobi called.
"Hokage." Kurenai greeted.
"You have not been made privy to this information in the past because well it held no concern to you but now it does. The Fourth Hokage had a child, a boy named Naruto. He was taken at the end of the Nine Tails attack. The fox was sealed into said child making him not only very dangerous without the proper tutoring but incredibly valuable as well not only because he has the fox I mind you but because he is the only descendent of the late Hokage." Sarutobi explained.
"But Hokage I thought you were with him throughout the battle, who took him?" She asked.
"Orochimaru saw what had happened with the baby and decided while the Hokage was weak to tried to steal him, I however intervened and while I was fighting with that snake someone else came and took Naruto. I don't know who he was so I can not give you anything on him to help you with the search." The Hokage answered.
"Wait what do you mean search?" Kurenai asked.
"You have most likely the best up and coming tracking team." He started. "Two years ago we got reports of a boy who looked like the Fourth with an old man relaxing on what appeared to be a furniture made up of a bunch of beaten thugs and bandits. I want you to take your team and start off where the last team lost the trail."
"Okay I will get the team together and leave immediately." Kurenai said.
"Here's your file to help a little." He handed it over.
"Thank you." She said bowing and disappearing.
Kurenai left the tower and straight away headed for the training grounds where her team should be waiting for her. She walked into the clearing to see Hinata picking herbs looking a little scuffed up and Kiba and Shino sparring.
"Team get your mission supplies and meet me at the gate. Expect to be out for no less then two to four weeks. Ill debrief you with the specs as we travel." Kurenai instructed.
"Hai." They answered and were off.
Ten minutes later the team was together and heading off north into the forest.
"So what is our mission sensei." Kiba asked.
"Yes I am also intrigued about the unexpected mission." Shino added.
"We are to find this boy and bring him back to the village." Kurenai answered handing out sketches of Naruto. "This is a C Rank mission possible B rank because there is an old man traveling with him with unknown strength and abilities. The boys name is Naruto and his abilities as well are unknown to us so be on your toes. We will find them, watch them to learn anything we can then at the right moment we will extract him and bring him to the village. If they fight leave the man to me and you three will be responsible for subduing Naruto."
Everyone took a sketch of Naruto and took their time reading every detail of the picture so as to not miss anything and be able to spot him immediately. They all silently had their different reactions. Kiba's of course was "I can take him." While Shino's was "His physical features resemble those of the Fourth Hokage, I will investigate later as to if there is any correlation." And Hinata couldn't take her eyes off the boy blushing not really knowing what struck her.
"We will start at the ruins of an old military compound where the last team lost their train and work from there. Shino I want you to start spreading your bugs now just in case they cross this trail." She ordered.
"Already on it sensei." He replied.
"Good, Hinata I want you to start with your byakugan now to see if you see anyone." She said.
"Yes sensei." Hinata answered.
"Kiba just keep your nose open for anything foreign." She ended.
"Pssh I'd smell this forest kid miles away." Kiba scoffed.
"Oh really huh? You'd be able to smell forest inside of forest?" She asks being a smart ass.
"Humph, well find him. Right Akamaru?" He shot back.
They continued in silence the rest of the way to the ruins but decided to make camp for the night before starting their search in the morning. Kiba and Shino off to their respective tents Hinata and Kurenai are sitting by the fire talking.
"I saw the way you looked at the picture Hinata, don't let that stop you from acting when we find them." She said in her stern talking to voice. "But…. He is extremely cute isn't he, o if I was just younger I'd snatch him up in a heart beat. If he becomes part of our village you better get him cuz he's a looker and if you don' all those other fan girls will." She let her inner girl take control and squealed a little.
Hinata sweat dropped then though about what Kurenai said. Then the famous blush appeared and she begin playing with her index fingers. "H-h-he I-is -c-cu-cute." She stammered and blushed a little deeper.
"Ok well get to bed we gotta get to work early tomorrow." Kurenai said.
"Yes sensei." Hinata obeyed.
The all wake in the morning keeping quiet as the equip themselves for anything that could happen then they take their previous formation and begin to head into the ruined base.
"Be careful there's most likely a lot of traps in here." Kurenai said.
They begin to move through out the base with a quick but safe efficiency until… BOOM! Kiba trips a bomb wire and nothing happens haha. They finish combing through the rest of the base and find nothing of use so they head outside.
"Kiba smell around and see if you can sniff out any lingering scents. Hinata see if they're close enough for your byakugan and Shino send out your insects to make sure were not being followed." Kurenai says.
"I smell something like a kid about 3 miles north of us." Kiba barks.
"Okay people let's head out, Kiba at point, Hinata pull up the rear, Shino and I will be in the middle." Kurenai said then they head off in search of Naruto and the Wanderer.
