Hi! It's me again! Thank you for reading this story of mine. Some of you might wonder why Naruto's personality is a little bit difference than in the canon, well I change it a little bit to match my stories. As for other characters, they might too but not as much as Naruto though. Like I said before, the real owner of the Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi and the others you know very well character is Kishimoto Masashi but there are some of it is mine. Now on the chapter! (^ U ^)*


-Last chapter-

"Chicken." Sasuke said, break the silence.

"Yup." Kakashi answered.

"…You mean, this is the sacred creature you talking about." Sakura pointed out the supposed sacred creature, confirmation needed.

"Yeah." Kakashi answered again.

"… But it's only a chicken." Naruto said. It's an understatement.

"Duh." Kakashi confirm it.

"…"

"…"

"…"

There's another long silence between them.

"You got to be kidding, right?"

"No."

The trio narrowed their eyes comically staring Kakashi.

"Yeah, the gift from Hokage to the mayor of Metal Village is a sacred creature and this is the sacred creature that you are looking at. Chicken." Kakashi explained.

"…."

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" The trio shouted in unison with their eyes bulged out as they didn't believe what they saw and heard.

"No."

"WHAT THE HELL!?"

Kakashi sighed. This is gonna take a long time to calm them down…


Chapter 2: Annoying

"You lying! There is no way this chicken is the sacred creature you talking about!" Sakura yelled, disbelief as she looking at the scene.

"Do I look like I'm lying?" Kakashi replied.

"But, but, but, but…. It's chicken, man! It's CHICKEN! A regular Chicken! Both!" Naruto yelled out as he point at the chicken in the box.

"Correction: It's not Regular but Sacred."

"But that chicken is sleeping, like any normal chicken in the village would do, almost." Sasuke said, fold his hand. His sight never leaved from the chicken.

Now for those peoples that curious about what they said, they are discussing about the sacred creature or Chicken as assumed. Like Naruto and Sasuke said before, that chicken is indeed look regular (If you never see chicken before, check in the internet.) and can be found anywhere in the village. The only difference is, that chicken is indeed sleeping, and snoring, like human.

"Don't underestimate this chicken though, 'cause this creature is powerful enough to make you all misfortune for the insult you put." Kakashi said as he held the box where the chicken slept as he stood.

The trio is stared at Kakashi blankly, and turned to the chicken that still sleeping. No one speak at that moment as they think Kakashi words.

'There is no way this chicken is a sacred creature like in the story." Thought of the trio as sweat drop can be seen behind their head.

"Now, do you all understand? Okay, now pack your thing we'll be leave-"

"HOLD ON A SEC!" The trio put their hand in front of them, stopping Kakashi from further explanation. Right now, they are still at their meeting place discussed about their mission.

"Man, you all slow…" Kakashi sighed.

"AT LEAST LET US ASK YOU FEW MORE QUESTIONS FIRST!" Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura shout at him, face red and shark teeth showed caused of anger. This guy really unnerved them, is he?

"First, what do you mean by pack our thing? Are we the one that need to 'escort' this chicken to the Metal Village?" Sakura asked first.

"Isn't it obvious?" Replied Kakashi as it matter-of-fact.

"But why us? Why not give it to other team like Neji Team or Shikimaru Team or whoever it is? We just finished our mission yesterday. That mission took us a couple of week to complete and seriously, we all are damn tired…. Can't you just let us off for a few days or maybe few weeks? I just want to sleep longer…." Naruto whining as he also yawning, sleepiness almost took over his eyes.

"Sorry, no can do. All teams already have received their mission yesterday and out to finish it today except Team Seven which also and only this team. This is an important mission so it needed to be complete no matter what. He had no choice but summon us to complete it."

Uuuurgh!... That old man really had cross the line, is he? He must be doing that on purposed to annoy them. Yup, that must be it. That is what Naruto thought as tick mark can be seen at his head.

"Okay, we all know that this creature-"

"Sacred creature."

"Right, we all know thiiiisss(Hissed) SACRED CREATURE(Glare at the sleeping chicken), is important and become our priority to protect it and need to send it to the destination, Metal Village. Am I right?" Sasuke finish it question, or rather statement, still locking his eyes to the chicken.

"BINGO! My expectation are no less from you, Sasuke. Great job." Kakashi said as he patted Sasuke's head.

'I can't believe Sasuke let Kakashi Sensei patted his head like a dog…" Thought of the other members as they stare at the scene, disbelief.

"Before that(Yanking his hand off from his head), answer this question." Look straight to the elder eyes.

'Or not.'- Sweat drop behind their head.

"Tell us your mission you received yesterday and the reason it cancelled." Ah… they almost forgot about that. Thankfully Sasuke reminded them back about the elder for making all of them awake from their holiday.

However, the atmosphere around them dropped so sudden which they don't know what happened. But what surprised them is, Kakashi's eye were shadowed and hardly to see his reaction at all. They all sweat on their face, swallowed their lump in their throat for they don't how to react with this change of behavior.

"Actually, that mission is…" Kakashi tell them slowly, hesitated as he saying is like something horrible will happen if he did.

Their eyes wide slightly and waiting patiently, ready to accept the consequence.

"You see… That mission is…"

"…"

"…"

"SPIT IT OUT ALREADY. DAMN IT!"

"After the mission is completed then I will tell." Kakashi replied as his behavior change back so sudden.

Three of them deflated as they heard he said.

"WHY NOT NOW!?" Oh how they wish they can kick his ass for making them nervous.


In the afternoon, all the member of Team Seven has arrived at the gate of entrance and waiting their sensei patiently. Sakura, who look angry, stood near the gate door folding her hand and her finger tapping her elbow, while Sasuke leaning against the gate door where Sakura stood relaxing himself closing his eyes, waiting for his sensei. As for Naruto, well… Let just say he were sleeping standing up with eyes close, bubble coming out from his nostril and mouth wide opened, and drooling. (Hey! Who wouldn't after that Took-Two-Weeks-To-Get-It-Done mission?)

"Where is Kakashi Sensei anyway!? It's been an hour already. Damn it!" She yelled, kicking the dust on the ground as she angry about the elder for being late.

She turned her stare to the blond hair beside her. Raising her fist to her eyes level and punch his head, his face hit the ground as the punch hit him. "Wake up! How come you were sleeping at the time like this, you idiot!?" Scolding her teammate for not been serious about the situation they were in.

Naruto, however, didn't even awake from the hit. Instead, he made himself sleep with face plant while his butt stuck out upward on the ground comfortable despite the lump that grow on his head, snore loudly like he didn't even care about everything.

"Uuugh! Curse it all!"Shouting to the sky like something is there that can satisfy her anger.

Why oh why have to be like this? She just wanted to rest for few days to take care of her rough skin to return to it originally smooth skin so she can go lovey-dovey to her beloved Sasuke and then do like what mast couple usually do and-

"Shut it, Sakura. You're so annoying."

"Yes, Sasuke~"

Heart shape appeared at her eyes as she danced noodling around him, all her anger seems vanish. Her background was bright with light and seems like filled with flowers. Oh how she liked to be called with her name by Sasuke-

"Oh, good thing you all here."

And everything shattered in a second because of that voice she knew much. She turned around to see Kakashi arrived with the same purple cloth wrapped around the box that had the sacred creature or chicken inside, other than that he seems carefree. But not long enough when Sakura blasted her anger with her gloomy face.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura yelled as well as Naruto, who seems woke up from his sleep, with a big lump on his head.

"Since when did you wake up!?" She shouted, surprisingly at his sudden awake.

"Just a minute ago."

"…"

"…"

She hit behind his head, again only caused another lump double on his head and drifting smoke can be seen.

"OW! WHY DID YOU HIT ME, SAKURA!? IT HURT THOUGH!" Holding the lump where Sakura punch to ease the pain.

"Next time, DON'T FALL ASLEEP WHENEVER I'M TALKING!"

"WELL YOU CAN TALK WITH SASUKE OVER THERE, HE SEEMS BORING SO WHY NOT BOTHERING HIM INSTEAD OF HITTING ME!?

"Sasuke need his rest so he can fight with his full strength unlike you who know only causing TROUBLE MOST OF THE TIME!"

"HEY I'M NOT!"

"YES YOU ARE!"

"Would both of you shut up, you so loud and starting to hurt my eardrum." Sasuke interfere. Obviously those two don't know how to stop shouting.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU DUMBASS!?/YES, MY LOVE~" Shouted in unison as they turned their head to the raven hair boy, only with difference… Talk? Behavior? I guess?

"DON'T TALK TO SASUKE LIKE THAT, YOU JERK!"

"HE INSULTED US JUST A MOMENT AGO!"

"I know he didn't mean it, he just felt stress out with your SHOUTING SO LOUD!"

"HEY YOU SHOUTED TOO!"

"WHAT WAS THAT!?"

Before they could even argue further, Kakashi finally step in to stop them, the box wrapped tightly around his left shoulder grabbing their shoulder gently to make some distant as they both slightly back off.

"Okay now, easy there, remember we come here for what reason." Speak in unusually gentle, avoiding from been beat up by his beast pupils.

"HE/SHE STARTED IT FIRST!" Both yelled each other as they point out to each other. Blaming to another peoples.

"Hai… Now tell me, what cause this fight?" Kakashi sighed. Why both of them fight anyway?

"YOU OF COURSE!" Now they point out straight to his face, much surprised to Kakashi .

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Pointed to himself, not understanding the whole thing. How come it's his wrong?

"YOU'RE LATE AND MAKING US WAITED HERE FOR FREAKING AN HOUR AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US THE EXACT TIME TO MEET UP NOT ONLY CAUSING US EXHAUSTED BUT SLEEPY AS WELL! AND YOU SAID WHAT CAUSED THIS FIGHT!? HOW ARE YOU GONNA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY ABOUT THIS!?" Both pant heavily as they yelled with their anger and frustration toward the elder in one breath.

"… Wow…"It stunned Kakashi with their blasted. They really pissed off, now that is crazy.

"Okay, okay. Fine, it's my fault for not telling you guys the exact time to meet up here and causing you all waited for an hour so as for my apologies I ask Hokage's permission first and we all can take a few day off after this mission is completed, how's that sound?" Putting both hands in front of him as he admitted defeated, not wanting to continue the argument.

"Deal." End of the conversation. Both folded their hands with stood smugly as they satisfied his answer.

The elder stared them a little longer before he sighed. As for Sasuke, he muttered something about both idiots.

But then again, nothing more complicated than this. Right? I guess.

To Be Continued…
