Hi! Long time no see! Before that, I'm sorry for the delay. But don't worry cause I still got time to finish another chapter. Let's get to the chapter, shall we?
I do not own Naruto but Kishimoto Mashashi did.
So, enjoy~
Last chapter
"I was wondering what kind of brain that you have in your head." Naruto state bluntly. Not caring about the elder's word.
"Devil's brain. What do you expect? Of course I have human's brain."
"Then why are you describing this place?" Sakura asked right after he said.
"Thought you asking."
"I mean where not what. Hear me? Where. Are. We?" Sasuke said slowly on the last part.
"…"
"Like dobe."
"WHAT WAS THAT, PORCUPINE HEAD!?"
And the fight between them was about to happen if it wasn't before Sakura whack Naruto's head, leaving a big bump on it.
"…"
"I'm not sure myself. I'm not this place owner so let's just check this place, shall we?" Leading the way forward with his usual calm bright face, leaving them behind dumbfound unanswered. They still stared his back before sighed frustration and followed the elder. They just want to end this mission as soon as possible, meaning as quick as they did, to complete so they can back to their heaven.
CHAPTER 4: This Is Getting Ridiculous!
The Team Seven are now walking in the secret passageway under the table they sat at in the stall they stop by just a moment ago. They believe that the thief stolen the sacred creature sealed in the box had used this path to do their dirty job. To complete their mission (to get their day-off, in Naruto case) they must get the box from the unknown thief back before something bad happen and make it to the Village Metal safe and sound.
"Uuugrh… Damn…" Naruto groan, walked (who look like a zombie) next to the elder leading the way. "of all thing why did they have to steal that chicken anyway?"
"Well Naruto," Kakashi replied as he walked and at the same time reading his favourite Icha Icha book (he even marked the page he had stopped!) "as I mention earlier that chicken is a sacred creature, and it is important-"
"important and become our priority to protect it and need to send it to the destination, Metal Village. (-Hey, don't steal my line- : Sasuke) (-Shut up, porcupine head-: Naruto) Bla bla bla, you already told us about it for how many time, we get it already but why chicken?" He cut off his words before he finish it, which had irritate the elder.
"If you already know – let me finish my words before you talk, get it? - then what make you don't understand?" Pull the blonde's ear a little longer before let it go.
"Ow! What was that for?" Staring at the elder with frown confusing as he rubbing his ear where Kakashi pull to ease the pain to go away.
"That is for your punishment for interferes in someone's talk. Now what make you don't understand?" He said, glance Naruto before turn to his book.
"Well," hands folded back of his head and body straighten. "I don't know if they are just being completed stupid or the stall owner had already out of food stock. Just look at that chicken make me want to swallow it whole…" He smiles goofy and his drool running down from the corner of his mouth to his chin, imagining the chicken (sacred creature) roasted nicely with Naruto hold the stick that stuck the meat above the fire.
"Oh now you had turn out from a fox to a wolf already? Better get away from you before I get eaten then." He snapped back from his dream world and snarl at his rival behind Kakashi.
"OKAY, PORCUPINE HEAD! YOU STAY THERE SO I CAN GO OVER THERE TO BEAT YOUR PRETTY FACE SO NO ONE WILL RECOGNIZE YOU EVER AGAIN!"
"Well I didn't know I'll be praise about my pretty face by wolf-dobe though, how touching~" Wipe out his imaginary tear from his eyes. Obviously, Sasuke just tried to piss the blonde off.
"NOW YOU DONE IT!"
Naruto jump above Sasuke try to kick his face rapidly, well not before a hard kick on his face.
"OH NO YOU DON'T YOU ARE NOT GONNA HIT MY SASUKE-KUN!"
The kick is so strong and enough to make Naruto flying towards the wall in front of them and break it until it shattered. The light from outside hit them in a sudden made them shield their eyes cause of the brightness.
"Good job, Sakura. You managed to make the exit way without any effort." Kakashi give a thumbs up, praising Sakura causing her face become pink and make a shy girl pose. (You know, like scratching your head and other hand spreading behind you with your legs raise high a bit. That' how.)
"E he he he… He he … It's nothing really. He he…"
"But you don't need to do that really, the door is just right next to the hole you made… But oh well." She stiff, her eyes look through where Kakashi walked over, and indeed there's a door next to the hole where Naruto had thrown off.
"Damn…" She deflated herself comically like a piece of paper on the floor as dark cloud floating above him while Sasuke move forward just next to Kakashi muttering about scary girl and don't want to get killed by bear-hug or such.
As they all stepping outside of the passageway followed by the pink hair girl, a fresh air swam over them , relief were shown on their faces as they have been trap in a sealed cave for a long time.
"Finally, fresh air… warm light… green forest… blue sky… white cloud… b-"
"Bla.. bla … bla… So, stop this crap. Now can we get this over already?" Rolling his eyes over Kakashi gloomy face with dark cloud above him muttering something about fine, suit yourself or stop ruining someone else mood already and else as Sasuke look the scene in front of him.
"There's trees out here. Sky… ground… We're at the forest."
"Hmm… We better get moving and track down the unknown thief before he got away with that box far away or else we'll be lost it forever." Kakashi said, regain to his old cool composure.
They were just about to move out before the shattered bricks wall next to their right moving, not long after that a hand pop out from underneath (Just think of it like a zombie attempt of crawl out from their grave.) shaking, Sakura scream in horror with her face in…. (You think of it) but stop when they heard shaky muffled but familiar voice they almost slip out the words.
"Bevore fhat, coud soveody vull me out vrof dese feaging frick wall off fvom me? I've veen vuried aliv…" (Before that, could somebody pull me out from these freaking brick wall off from me? I've been buried alive…)
"Ouch … that hurt."
Team Seven are moving and on track down that petty thief to get their box after Naruto bandaged on his head. Naruto stretching his left arm slow and gently to loosen his stiffen body for buried under the brick for long.
"That's gonna be my insurance to get more day-off."
"You really are worthless you know that…"
"WHAT WAS THAT, DUCK-BUCK HEAD!?" Snarl back to his rival, his head rotate 180 degree as stain sound can be heard.
" Ooouuhh… That must be hurt." Sakura wince just by looking at him, 'If it anyone else, I won't belief then.'
"Huh? Are you deaf now? Need some doctor care?"
Okay, just be patience, that guy is not worth it to fight over, he just mocking you 'cause he only want to play, yup! That must be it. He nodded sternly, ignoring the comment. That is what Naruto thought, or so. Forgetting that Sasuke still talking with him.
"So, you really admit that you deaf, poor little guy…"
Snap! String of patience had broken. The fight began, not even Sakura manage to whack the blond head in time. But, cut off when Kakashi demanded them in serious tone.
"Everyone stop right where you are."
The members froze, head shot up looking at the elder. No one dare to move or even talk. Once the elder voice something in stern voice, they knew he is in the captain mode. If he did, then something odd (interesting, In Kakashi's case.) were around them. so, they better be prepared. After they wait a little while, the captain look around and halt when he spotted something flash in grey colour up in the forest.
"Got the thief, let's go."
"ROGER." And they move. Mission: take the box back – ON.
In the forest, the team tracking down the stolen box, skipping over the trees branches without make any noises, just like ninjas. (What the!? Of course they are!), in front of them were the thief Kakashi just spot, the guy were in grey shirt, face covered with ghost white mask running to I-Don't-Know-Where-The–Hell-So-Don't-Ask-Me place. Their determinations were so strong and obviously shown on their face, anyone or anything that trying to stop them will be unlucky one to be their 'VIP guest'. Even their eyes become stern and if that look can kill, peoples will wet themselves and faint or get nightmares. Their adrenalin become stronger because of their permanent thought.
'Complete the mission so I can return to my training.' – Sasuke.
'Complete the mission so I can schedule my date with Sasuke-Kun!' – Sakura (With devil face, eyes sparkles within the shadow and grin like a madman.)
'Complete the mission so I can read my Icha Icha book and no more that creepy mission. Ever. Again.' – Kakashi.
"How long that thief gonna run anyway? I'm tired already…" 'What a way to ruin the mood…, Naruto." Same thought through the members head. Why this kid can't tag along? Seriously, he can be smart some time but… whatever.
"We wouldn't know when or where he will stop, he must be heading back to his hideout. We'll be questioning after we catch him. Therefore we need to be patience and keep up with him."
"Fine…" Naruto sighed. He understood the situation they were in, but still he just too lazy to move on now. "When I got them in my hand, they'll pay for putting me into this misery and dragging me into this stupid mess!" muttering under his breath, clenching his fist until his knuckle turn into white, angry to nobody but thief.
'Count me in…' The members' nodded silently in agreement with Naruto's declare. No one will get away from their punishment for putting their misery to worse.
"But then again, dobe, you really are worthless."
"I' kill you later after this mission is done, porcupine head. Mark my word."
"We here." Kakahi stop skipping, the members followed suit.
The thief they were chasing run into the cave right in front of them. They all stop their chakra to avoid the enemy sense their hideout.
"So, this is their base. All of you be careful, we won't know what kind of enemy we'll be facing off, so don't fight unless it's necessary. Got it?" Order were been given to the members.
"Got it."
And so, the enemy base were been intrude.
To Be Continued…
