So I've been writing all day and wanted to update. I'll hopefully be updating either once a week or once every two. Please be patient with me and please review! This is a Naruto Yaoi. Don't like don't read. I do not own Naruto. If I did half the characters would be gay.
Naruto burst into the Hokage's office. "Baa-chan!" Tsunade tried hard to remain calm. "Naruto! Knock before you enter! Show some respect!" She yelled. Sai came running in panting. "Tsunimasen Hokage-sama." Tsunade raised an eyebrow at him as the twins strode into the room. "We told him about the mission and he took off running." Kia sighed. "Sai-san told us he was an energetic one but I didn't think he'd be that excitable." Kyo chuckled and Kia blushed, hitting her brother. "That wasn't what I meant Baka!" Tsunade looked at the team in front of her. Did I make the right decision assigning them this? She thought back to when she made the decision.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I don't think this is the best idea. You guys just came back injured and empty handed last time. And you had Yamato with you! Kakashi is still injured and Yamato is away on a mission. I can't send either of them with you this time!" She looked at the boy bowing before her. "Please Tsunade-sama. I wouldn't ask if I didn't think we could pull it off. I know the perfect people for the mission. And I know you have information on a last sighting of Sasuke-kun. Please." Sai practically begged at her feet. She raised an eyebrow at the boy. "Why is this so important to you?" Sai raised his head to look at her in confusion. It was the most emotion she's ever seen the boy display. "Naruto-kun is my first bond. I do not like to see him sad. I want to do this for him. Please?" Tsunade was taken aback. She thought about it and finally decided. "Fine. But I'm sending a Jonin with you. One that can keep Naruto and the two new Root members in check. He will be captain and you will follow orders to the T. No matter what Naruto says. Understood?" Sai smiled a genuine smile. "Hai! Thank you Hokage-sama!"

She looked back to the team in front of her. Yes. I did. "Alright enough!" Everyone's attention snapped to her. "Lucky for you, your new captain has accepted the mission. You already know the details and are to rest tonight and report at the Main Gate tomorrow morning at six." The team nodded. "Good. I'll now introduce you to your captain. His orders are to be followed no matter what. Understood Naruto?" She looked at him sternly. "Hai hai, I got it Baa-chan." He pouted. She smirked. "Captain you may come in now." All attention turned to the opening door. Tsunade watched as Naruto's face went from confusion to horror to acceptance. "Che~ Fine. I promised to follow orders and I will." He pouted crossing his arms over his chest. The twins both cheered. "Yosh we got our Hyuuga! Woo!" Sai walked over to greet him. "Thank you for coming with us Neji-san." Tsunade cleared her throat. All attention was once again on her. "Alright, you all have your orders. Neji here is Captain. I expect detailed reports once you get to your check point. You are all dismissed. Good luck."
Naruto replayed the meeting in his head over and over again. He had long since packed everything he would need and set an alarm. He lay in his bed unable to sleep. He played over the mission details. Would it be like last time? Would he find Sasuke only to have Orochimaru snatch him away again. In their last meeting Sasuke had really tried to kill him. Was he even Sasuke anymore? Naruto's eyes filled with un-shed tears. If only I'd told him I loved him back then. Maybe I could have stopped him. He shook his head. He couldn't change the past. But he'd be damned if he didn't do everything he could to make this mission a success. With new determination he rolled over to get some rest. His dreams plagued with images of Sasuke.
"Dobe." Naruto stood face to face with the raven. Those black emotionless eyes pierced through him. "Sasuke." He reached out but it was no use. Sasuke slapped his hand away. "I should have killed you back then." Naruto saw the glint of a blade as Sasuke plunged his Kusanagi toward him. Naruto woke with a start just as his alarm went off. He sat up panting and looked to his clock. "Just a dream." Looking around his apartment he realized where he was supposed to be in an hour. "Yosh! This time I'll bring Sasuke back-ttebayo!" He showered, dressed and double checked his pack. He jumped over roofs to the Main Gate. When he got there everyone was already there. Kia ran up to him. "There you are Naruto-kun. We've all been waiting for you!" Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Gomen." Kyo came up behind his sister and gave her a small shove. "Don't be a brat Aniki. We all got here early, including Naruto." Neji spoke up. "Since we're all here early shall we head out?" Sai nodded. "Hai that would be most productive." The twins nodded and Kia ran forward, grabbing Sai's arm along the way. She dragged him forward while her brother complained about her having too much energy. Naruto followed behind them. They were just outside the Main Gate when he stopped and looked back. The next time I come back here I'll have Sasuke with me.
