Ino jaw dropped as she watched Naruto run around picking up and buying everything in sight. "Now, now Ino calm down breath." Sakura said as she tried to cox the shock out of Ino and Hinata alike. "I..it's him. It's really him! We found him! Yes! Yes!." Ino said grabbing Sakura and Hinata into a large hug jumping up and down in pure happiness along with Hinata as Sakura tried to calm them down inwardly panicking.

"Calm down you two! Do you want him to here us!" They both immediately calmed down at her words shushing each other with wide smiles and giggly attitudes. "Okay we have to tell the others!" Hinata said pulling out her walkie-talkie. "Now wait! Wait! Wait! Don't call them yet!" Sakura screamed taking the walkie-talkie away from Hinata before she can turn it on.

Ino and Hinata looked at her in surprise. "Why not? He's right there and you want to wait!" Ino whispered angrly at Sakura not understanding why she was trying to stop them. If any one should want him back most it would be her seeing as she's his best friend and they grew up together.

Sakura's eyes shifted around nervously as if looking for a response. "I... we don't even know if that's him. That man has on a cloak we can barely see his face. I don't want to get the others hopes up without knowing for sure." Sakura said trying to not to sound like she was making excuses. Ino and Hinata gave a dumbfound look. "How can you not tell that's him! He looked this way! We got a clear view of his face!" Ino shouted but still low enough to where she wouldn't draw attention to herself.

"Well you might have seen, but I didn't!" Sakura said trying to hold onto her argument long enough for Naruto to just leave. Ino huffed in frustration. She grabbed hold of Sakura's head and positioned it to were she could clearly she Naruto's face. "There! You saw him! Now give we that talkie!" Ino said jerking the device form he and turning it on to the group channel.

"Guys quick! We found him! Hurry over to the south side of the market!" Ino shouted into the talkie. Several voice could be heard yelling over the device. Asking various questions like: How they found him? What's he doing? Does he look okay? Ino wasn't really able to catch them all nor could she answer seeing as everyone was talking at once.

"Shut up! All of you! Just get over here and see for your selves!" Hinata yelled taking the device from Ino. Shocking everyone with her tone of voice and her words. She was usually so timid and quite. To hear her like this... She must really want her friend back.

The shock didn't last long as ever one headed to the girls location. It took about 10 minutes for everyone to get together. Once they were all together they bombarded the girls with questions on where he was.

The girl pointed him out. "Oh good he looks okay." Lee sighed out. "Yeah, but who the hell is that next to him." Temari said pointing at a figure carrying a mountain load of bags. Hinata and Ino looked as well. They had been so excited about finding Naruto they didn't notice anyone else.

They all gave confused looks. "I can't see his face." Tenten complained voicing every ones troubles. He turned around and they caught a glimps of his face. They gasps in not surprise, but more like disappointment. They were hoping Naruto had escape that maniac by now.

They continued to watch Naruto and the evil pharaoh go around the market seemingly picking up useless things that only Naruto could ever be interested in Like who else would buy I baby high chair for no apparent reason. Other than to just have one. That's the kind of stuff Naruto did. It was refreshing to see him like this again.

But after a while a few of them started to see this behavior for how strange it really was even for Naruto. "Does any one else find it odd how happy Naruto seems to be." Gaara finally pointed out. "Yeah, you would think being kidnapped and held hostage by a dangerous being like that would mellow someone out quite a bit." Kankuro added to his brother statement.

"I noticed that. Actually don't you find it odd that in all our confrontations with the Pharaoh Naruto never seems to be afraid. He even seems to be happier than usual." Shikamaru pointed out to the group.

"W..well what are you trying to say." Sakura said in fear but not for the reason the group thought. But because Shikamaru was just to damn smart and had to figure it all out didn't he. Could his brain just not work for once.

Thankfully before Shikamaru could explain further. Neji notice Naruto's sudden change in behavior. He pointed it out causing everyone to turn in watch as Naruto suddenly took off at break neck speed with the Pharaoh to what they could only guess was there hide out.

"Quick there getting away!" Ino said rushing after her. They group followed after her. They ran until they got to the edge of the town. Noticing that Naruto and the Pharaoh continued. Finding it hard to chace after seeing as there were no real good places to hide. "So that's how they manage to avoid us! They were never in the town to begin with!" Tenten exclaimed. "More and more question keep getting answered and even more are coming up." Neji whispered just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Well were not going to get anywhere just standing here! Lets chace after them!" Temari shouted. She got a round of nods and then they all set off after there dear friend and who they believed to be his kidnapper. Sakura could do nothing more then to go along and hope for the best for every one.
