Hinata Chronicles Chapter 28: Tenchi Bridge, Nobody Arrive
After apologizing to Naruto for accidentally shocking him, the five had a nice dinner and decided to sleep for the night, girls in one room and guys in the other. The next morning Hinata woke up to find that Sakura wasn't in her futon as she then saw her with Sai. "Well I better go to Captain Yamato." She said as she got dressed and waited with Yamato and the rest of the team.
"Ah Hinata. It's good to see that your on time." Yamato said.
"Thank you Captain Yamato." Hinata replied. The two ended up waiting for a few minutes when Naruto, Sakura and Sai came over to them.
"Alright, now that we are all here, we can head out!" Yamato said.
"Right!" The team said as they continued to Tenchi Bridge.
"Listen Naruto, about what happened at the springs, I. . ." Hinata was saying until Naruto kissed her.
"Its alright, you didn't mean to hit me with the Thundaga spell, I just happened to be to close."
Hinata then smiled at her boyfriend. "Thank you, its just that Sai was talking inappropriately about you and your you know 'assets' and I just kind of snapped at him saying those things."
"Like I said, its alright," Naruto then went to Hinata's ear and whispered "We'll get him back once we get back to Konoha." The two then started to chuckle as it then got dark. "Wow, time flies while your walking."
"I'll say!" Hinata responded.
Yamato then went to a clear area in the forest "Here's just fine." He said as he then did a jutsu the built an entire house. "We'll camp here for the night."
"I wouldn't really call this camping. . ." Sakura said as she had a bead of sweat come down her head.
Once inside after looking around. . .
"Everyone, come here for a bit." Yamato announced. "And, Sakura there's something I'd like you to tell me."
"What is it?" Sakura asked.
"It's about Sasori of the Akatsuki. I got Sasori's file from Suna as a starter, but tell me about his behavior, characteristic and habits. Because you're the only one who's ever seen Sasori."
"Why're you asking that?" Naruto said.
"The Akatsuki spy I Orochimaru's ranks will come to Tenchi Bridge expecting Sasori. He might see through it right away, but it's best to transform into Sasori to approach him." Yamato explained.
"Being a spy brings its fair share of risks, he will most likely be on his guard." Sai said.
"Just in case this is a trap set by the Akatsuki, I will go ahead first. You will all be on standby waiting for my instructions."
"Given that there was an Akatsuki spy in Suna, Yuura and that he said it when he was about to die. . . I really don't think he was lying. . ." Sakura said.
"Still, that spy. . . He must be extremely skillful. . ." Sai said.
"Whatever happens, I'm ready to do it." Hinata said.
"Let's do this. . ." Naruto said.
"Right, now for the real problem. . ." Yamato said. "I've already told you the concrete plans for the mission up ahead. Our objective is purely capture. Under no circumstances must the target must not be killed. Even if it results in battles. If they are killed we will have lost a valuable information source. This mission is more difficult than simply defeating the enemy. Given that it's a target mission, I'll be the first to go in and you will all act as backup. The strategy is simple. First, I will restrain the target. Second if I fail to restrain them and a battle situation arises, you will all prepare to fight. I'll signal you in that case and if we reach a situation as in part two, then we must fight via buddy system, when one person moves, the other will look after them. The principle of the system is mutual support, but since there are five people here, we'll have to have one group of two people and the other group with three people. Now from what I've gathered, I believe these groups will go well together. The first group will be Naruto and Hinata because of their experience with working together already as comrades. The second group will be myself, Sakura, and Sai because I believe I'll need the medic if I'm injured and Sai's abilities can be used in multiple different ways."
"We can work with that." Naruto and Hinata said in semi-unison.
"I believe I can work with the flat-chest and-" Sai was saying as he then got punched through the wall and passed three trees in the outside woods.
"You should've seen that coming." Sakura said as she cracked her knuckles and everyone else had a sweat drop come down their heads.
When Sai recovered and got back in the building, Yamato continued talking, telling everyone to put their effort into working together as they then went to sleep for the night. The next morning Naruto and Hinata were sparring with Yamato to test their teamwork together and they were easily able to capture him. "Excellent work you two."
"Thanks Captain Yamato." Naruto said.
Hinata smiles at the praise there captain gave them as she then turned to Naruto. "We make a good team."
"You got that right Hinata!" Naruto said as he kissed her on the cheek causing her to blush.
"Now its time for Sakura and Sai." Yamato said as Sakura and Sai started to get ready. Naruto and Hinata watched as Sakura and Sai toke on Yamato as they weren't working well together. After they were done with the simulation. . .
Naruto and Sai had a conversations asking him what a companion is as he writes the word down and talks bad about Sasuke again causing Naruto started to get angry but just brushes off saying that he'll on work with if he can save Sasuke. Sakura then has a conversation with him while Hinata went to go comfort Naruto.
"You ok?" Hinata asked hugging him from behind.
"Yeah I'm alright." Naruto said in a depressed tone of voice.
"Don't let what Sai says get to you. Your better then that."
Naruto then started to chuckle. "I know, I just wanted some support from my girlfriend." he said as he then kissed her on the cheek.
"Enough talking for now." Yamato called out to the two. "We're about to go, so get your stuff."
"Ok!" Naruto and Hinata called out.
"Come on, we better get going. If we're not there by tomorrow, this'll all be for nothing. . ." Naruto told the team.
"Yeah. . ." Hinata said with determination in her eyes.
Soon, the night went by and the dawn of a new day as the group arrived at the Tenchi Bridge. Yamato then got into a perfect disguise as Sasori and waited for the spy to appear as the rest of the team was watching in the bushes when two people appeared one in a blue cloak and the other in a snake-skin cloak.
"Two!" Yamato thought. "Sakura said there was 'a' spy! What's going on?"
"Sakura. . . What's going on?" Hinata whispered. "I thought you said there was only one Akatsuki spy, not two!"
"I. . . I don't know. . ." Sakura whispered, surprised as the rest of them.
