Before you kill me, let me tell you what's been going on. Math, A forced Science project, a book report, ballroom tryouts, dance company tryouts, choir tryouts, science in general, ballet, karate... everything... and it seems like everyone is like, dying. And I'm getting soo antsy because summer is SOO close! Only 16 days! And I'm just feeling really down in the dumps lately, since, like I said, everyone is literally dying... so I was finally able to get this chapter up, so please enjoy! :)
"How are we gonna get inside?" Deidara asked, staring up at the closely guarded gates of Konoha from a distance.
Kisame thought for a moment. Did he know anyone that lived in Konoha? "Hmm..." he stroked his chin thoughtfully, all the while thinking of how busted they would get by Leader-sama and Itachi. How did I get pulled into this again?he wondered silently. "Well," he finally suggested. "All me and Itachi did to get inside Konoha was just take out the guards, then we walked freely through the streets. We even walked into a tea shop and had some tea. They treated us like normal customers, despite our famous uniform." Kisame flashed back to when him and Itachi were searching for the Jinchuuriki and happened to run into Sasuke.
"But Kisame, this is a kidnapping, un! We're supposed to be discreet!"
"Oh, but when Itachi and I came here, it was a kidnapping mission, and we weren't discreet at all!" he remembered.
Deidara frowned. "I still don't think just going out in the open is a very good idea..." he said, staring at the gates again.
"True, and we don't have Itachi's sharingan to take the guards out that easily," he said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. Suddenly, he snapped his blue fingers together, a brightened expression appearing on his face. "I know!" he said with realization.
Deidara looked at him. "What?" he asked.
Kisame clasped his hands together, then he turned to a puddle of water, seeping into the ground and vanishing.
Deidara fumed where he stood. "How do you expect ME to get in there, hmmm!" he questioned at the ground where Kisame once stood. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully before snapping his own fingers. "I know!" he said, also with realization. He clasped his hands together and yelled, "Transform!"
Suddenly, in a puff of smoke, Deidara had taken the appearance of one of the only Leaf Ninja he had ever seen: Naruto Uzumaki.
Thinking that this was a somehow brilliant idea, Deidara ran energetically up to the gate, where the guards sat. They actually didn't blink an eye...
Until Naruto Uzumaki came running from the OTHER direction.
"Hey!" one of the guards yelled, standing from his chair. "What's the big idea, here?"
The real Naruto pointed an accusing finger. "Yeah! Who are you!" he yelled in Deidara's face.
A crowd began to form around the two Naruto's, all of them looking angrily at Deidara. "U-um... ah..." Deidara stuttered, scratching the back of his head nervously as perspiration ran down his forehead. "I uh..."
Kisame listened from a dark, unseen alley. What a dope... he thought with disapproval. He'll blow our cover!
Suddenly, Deidara saw none other than Hinata Hyuuga, in the crowd, watching Deidara with her large, white orbs. Although she looked cross like all the others, Deidara studied her lovely face in awe. She's so beautiful... he thought, blush creeping up onto his cheeks.
He shook his head. Crap! What am I thinking! He laughed nervously, silently transforming into Kakashi, the first person he could think of who wasn't among the crowd. "Well done, Naruto," he said, patting the Jinchuuriki on the head. "I was just testing you."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Naruto laughed, playfully pushing Deidara's hand off his head. "Man, Kakashi! You sure freaked us all out!" Everyone laughed, sighed, and gave "Kakashi" an approving thumbs up or slap on the back before walking away and going about all their duties. Naruto stayed in front of his "sensei."
"So," he said, a big, goofy grin planted on his face. "What do ya say we get some ramen and Ichiraku's?" Naruto asked hopefully.
"Uhm, sorry Naruto, but I have some things to do."
"Aww, why not-"
But Deidara just pushed past Naruto and continued on down the streets to Konoha, abandoning a confused Jinchuuriki.
What's with Kakashi? Naruto thought, rubbing his chin. He's acting a bit strange... He shrugged his shoulders. "No problem!" he said aloud. "I can just ask Sakura to go with me. It can be a date!" He giggled and ran off excitedly toward Sakura's house.

"I've got an eye on our target," Kisame said through the walkie talkie.
"Me too," Deidara said. The two were on opposite sides the edge of a clearing in the trees, where Hinata Hyuuga sat, staring at her reflection, her expression forlorn. What could she be thinking?

"Hinata," a too familiar voice said from behind Hinata.
She looked up at her cousin, who had appeared just behind her. "Y-yes Neji?" she asked innocently. He still wore his normal, hard expression, but was it just her, or did she see a trace of happiness in his eyes!
"Hanabi's back," he said coolly. But Hinata could tell that he was actually overjoyed. At first, she just stared up at Neji and blinked. What did he just say? Then, despite her cousin's seriousness, she smiled and jumped up. "Hanabi? She's back?"
In spite of himself, Neji couldn't help but give a small smile. "Yes, she's back. So you better hurry home." Then he jumped out of sight.
Hinata's eyes welled with tears of joy that streamed down her face. Her and Hanabi had a wonderful relationship before she had gone from home. Hanabi was the only person in the family who had really understood her, and would spend time with her, doing activities besides training. She was the little sister that everyone wanted, although she was favored more by their father.

"Whoo! That was TOO close!" Kisame said through the walkie talkie. "At least he wasn't near either of us?"
"Yeah, that could have been ugly, un. I mean, he's a HYUUGA!" The two of them silenced as they watched the beautiful Hinata twirl around in place, her violet hair fanning out around her. Then she began running from the pond.
"NOW!" Kisame yelled. Both him and Deidara jumped out from the clearing, making the Hyuuga heiress stop in her tracks and look in shock on either side of her. Before she could run, both of them grabbed her arms.
"Let. Me. GO!" She yelled fiercely, wriggling violently from their grasp.
"Drain her chakra before she can pull any stunts!" Deidara yelled. Then, with both of their bare hands, they began to suck all the chakra out of Hinata's body. And she fell limp in their grasp, into a deep, purple mist.
I apologize for the cliffhanger... You know, I would feel wayy better if I had some reviews :) Please do so! Thank you for your patience! ^_^
