Yui took a deep breath and started talking. "The-The forbidden scroll is missing."
"Wait Yui, how'd you know about it?" Shizune asked.
"Well, I went to Konoha Barrier Team's place earlier. My brother used to work in there. He told me everything. At first I didn't believe him, but when he gave me a picture of the Shinobi, I quickly went to that secret place he told me and it's gone. Like what he said."
"This is bad, Lady Tsunade will not like it. Yui, did you got his picture?"
"Hai." She said and gave the photo to Shizune. "I have no idea how my brother took that picture."
"We need to know who he is." Shizune said and they started searching for that Shinobi's files.
After four hours of searching, Lady Tsunade woke up from her deep slumber and wiped off the drool on her cheek.
"Shizune, Yui, what's with this mess?" She asked and Shizune gave her a cup of tea.
"Uh, Lady Tsunade. Yui had something to tell you." Shizune said while sweating.
"Go ahead." Tsunade said and drank her tea.
"Well..." Yui rubbed her cheek and told the Hokage everything she knew.
"WHAT?!" Good thing she has finished drinking her tea. "How come it's missing?! Shizune!" She shouted and slammed her fist on the table which made Tonton woke up.
"Y-Yes, Lady Tsunade?"
"We're going to that place and bring me breakfast! Yui, come with us." The Hokage said and started walking outside her office.
"Hai." Shizune and Yui said in unison and they followed the Hokage to that secret place.

With Hinata...
Hinata was going outside the Hyuga Compound, but she was called by her sister.
"Hey Oneesan!" Hanabi asked and Hinata looked at her sister. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to train for a while."
"With whom? Your boyfriend, Naruto?" Hanabi smirked while Hinata just blushed.
"N-No! H-He's not my boyfriend. We're just friends." Hinata said.
"Don't worry I'm just bluffing. I can't believe that you're so gullible. You blushed already when I said that." Hanabi let out a soft chuckle.
"I gotta go. I'll see you later."
"Have fun!" Hanabi shouted and bid good-bye at her sister.
Hinata went outside the Hyuga Compound and goes to the Village to explore the place a bit. She always does this everyday before her training with Naruto. She's glad that she is able to spend some time with him despite the fact that he hasn't said a word from her confession.
"Hey Hinata!" Hinata looked at the person who's calling her and it turned out to be her Future Cousin-in-law, Tenten.
"Tenten, it's nice to see you." Hinata smiled at her and saw her cousin behind the weapon mistress. "It's nice to see you too Neji-niisan."
"Hn. It's nice to see you too Hinata-sama." Neji nodded to his cousin.
"Anyway, what brings you guys here?" Hinata asked and she saw Tenten smirk.
"Who would have thought that I won to our bet. Besides, Neji's gonna treat me breakfast." The girls giggled while Neji just rolled his eyes. If there's anyone who can make Neji lose, it's the weapon mistress , Tenten.
"That's great you better keep your promise Neji-niisan."
"She got lucky." Neji said and he received a punch on the arm by Tenten.
"You know what Hinata, you're lucky." Tenten made a half smirk.
"How come?" Hinata asked.
"Naruto can treat you free food without having a bet or a promise. Unlike Mr. Prodigy here."
"Stop comparing me to him. Come on, next time I'll treat you without any bet nor promise." Neji said and grabbed Tenten's hand. "We gotta go."
"Have fun with Naruto." Tenten said and the two went somewhere.
"You too!" Hinata shouted to the couple.

Konoha's Underground Library is the place where the forbidden scroll is kept. Right now we can see the Hokage eating her breakfast while Shizune is holding Tonton and Yui is holding a treasure chest. That treasure chest is guarded by a force field. Anyone who tries to steal the forbidden scroll, will get electrified. But unfortunately, the Shinobi who stole it easily got the scroll. (A/N: I don't know if there is an underground library in Konoha.)
"I guess it's true, the forbidden scroll is missing." Tsunade said as she took a bite from her rice ball.
"What should we do Hokage-sama?" Yui asked while Tonton made a depressing noise.
"Shizune, look for Kakashi and tell him to come here."
"Yes, of course." With that, Shizune went outside to look for Kakashi.

At the training grounds, you can see Naruto sleeping on the ground and I don't know why. Maybe because he forgot to go home last night.
"An all you can eat ramen?! That's awesome!" Naruto sleep shouted and punched his fist into the air.
Lee, who is doing his daily push-ups, sweat drop when he heard the blond sleep talk.
"He's still sleeping at this time?" Lee asked Sai who is drawing something beside him.
"Don't ask me, I don't know what happened to him." He finished drawing and looked at it. He sweat drop when he accidentally drawn Naruto. "Great, now I have to draw another one." He dropped his head in a self-pity way.
"Good Morning Lee and Sai." Hinata said from behind.
"Yosh! Good Youthful Morning Hinata! 23, 24, 25..." Lee shouted while doing his push-ups.
"Hello." Sai waved his hand on Hinata and continued drawing.
"What are you drawing?" Hinata asked.
"Well, since the other one looks awful, I decided to draw a new one." He said and showed his first drawing to Hinata. Hinata looked at his drawing and sweat dropped. Not because his drawing sucks but why is Naruto is in his drawing.
"Uh, It looks nice." She said trying to cheer him up.
"Hey Hinata! I think you should wake up your boyfriend." Lee said which made Hinata blush.
I think she should explain it really careful to their friends that they're not on a relationship yet.
"Yet? That means there's a possibility that—"
"Lee-kun! W-We're just friends."
"Oh no! I didn't know! To make sure that I'll get it right next time, I'll do a thousand puh-ups! 37, 38, 39..."
"Uh, I think you should wake him up." Sai suggested and Hinata went to Naruto so she can wake him up.
She knelt beside his sleeping figure and nudge him gently.
"Naruto, wake up. What are you doing in here?" She asked and Naruto just snored. Hinata let out a soft giggle at his behavior. She has to admit that he looks so cute when he's sleeping.
"I've never seen such a beautiful girl." Naruto sleep talked and snaked his right arm around her waist. She just blushed at this case.
"N-Naruto, w-w-wake up." She kept on nudging him, but his left arm snaked around on her waist and hugged her. As a result, Hinata was on top of Naruto blushing 20 shades of red and it feels like her face is more than 100°C. She can't take it anymore! If she faint, it'll be too awkward for Naruto is he wakes up. She had no choice. She...
"Wake up Naruto!" She slapped his face hard-core.
Naruto woke up, he blinked and looked at his surroundings except for the person he's holding.
"Wait, what am I doing in here? And why does my cheek hurt." He touched his cheek. "Ouch."
"Uh, N-Naruto. C-Can y-you please let go of me?" Hinata asked not looking at him.
"Hinata?" Naruto asked and turn his head to face his woman. He saw her blushing really intense and so as him. Their faces were inches apart and he can feel her breathing. Since he doesn't want things to be very awkward, he let go of his arms on her waist. She stood up while he just went on a sitting position.
'What the heck did I just do?' He asked himself.
"Well kit, you were sleeping on the ground while she's trying to wake you up. Then, you 'accidentally' hugged her and she slapped you, so you can wake up." Kurama smirked which made Naruto blush. "Besides, you two are almost going to kiss. If that happens, it'll be your 'first' and 'real' kiss." Kurama's smirk grew wider.
'Shut up Kurama.' He said to the fox. "Hey Hinata." She looked at him. "I'm really sorry for what happened."
"Actually," She's still not looking at him. "I should be the one who's apologizing to you. I'm sorry, I think my slap was too hard."
"Well," He rubbed his cheek. "Let's forget about this whole thing, it's just an accident."
"Yeah, I think you're right. So, what are you doing in here?"
"I couldn't sleep last night thanks to that nightmare, so I decided to train for a bit. Anyway, Let's start—" He was interrupted by his stomach which is growling. Hinata giggled at his stomach's reaction.
"Yeah I haven't eaten for a while. What do you say? Let's eat!" He stood up and grabbed her hand.
"Don't worry, the food is all on me!" He dragged her somewhere in the village.
...
"Their youthful love is over-flowing! 89, 90, 91..." Lee shouted while doing his push-ups.
'It is. I wonder what will Jiraiya-sama will say? Not to mention their parents.' Kakashi, who is sitting on a tree branch, said to himself and looked at the sky.
"Kakashi!" Shizune shouted under the tree he's sitting.
"Hn?" He looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"Lady Tsunade wants to see you. Follow us." She said and Kakashi went dpwn to the tree.
'I wonder what's wrong this time.' He thought.
Shizune and Tonton lead Kakashi to Konoha's Underground Library.
"What are we doing in here?" Kakashi asked while scanning the place.
"Don't worry, Lady Tsunade will explain everything." She said.
"Kakashi, glad you're here." The Hokage said while scanning the treasure chest for clues.
"Is that?" He asked while pointing to the chest and they just nodded.
"This is where the forbidden scroll is kept. Only a few Shinobis know about this. Last night, an unknown Shinobi easily stole the scroll. Kakashi, your mission is to find the Shinobi who stole it and bring that scroll here." The Hokage said and Kakashi just nodded.
"What does the Shinobi looked like?" He asked.
"Shizune?" Tsunade looked at her assistant.
"Hai." Shizune said and gave the picture to Kakashi.
"It's best that you should take a skilled tracker Shinobi with you to find him." The Hokage said.
"I understand." Kakashi said and disappeared.
Just one question, beside Naruto, Hinata and Kakashi, (Naruto is gonna force Kakashi and Tsunade to let him join the mission.) Which Shinobi would you like to be in that mission? I'm having a hard time picking now. Please drop a review. Have fun and God Bless.
