Chapter One Konoha
"Come on now!"
"Yes, Gai-sensei!"
"Konoha sempu!"
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!"
Hinata Hyuuga smiled watching the three train with huge vigor. She especially admired a certain blond who was getting stronger with every mission given. She gave a small gasp of concern as he fell, but immediately giggled hearing his accusation of lack of food as the cause. She quickly turned around to find her cousin Neji who gave a turn of the head. She nodded and obediently followed the branch member.
"Hokage-sama wishes to see you, Hinata-sama."
"I understand." She said.
Neji hesitated before opening the door. "Hokage-sama. I brought her here."
"Good." Tsunade said.
Hinata noticed that also Shino and Chouji were there.
"Shino-kun, Chouji-kun!" Hinata said surprised.
"Oh, Hinata." said both also surprised.
"Alright, I've ordered you four together on this mission. Shizune." Tsunade said.
"Yes, Hokage-sama. This is the stone of Bessekai. It's priceless in value even though it seems to be an ordinary rock. You can recognize it by the insignia made on it. Our client was the current owner until recently. A band of thieves had stolen them. We have reason to believe that they had it kept in the forest of sprites nearby the town of mines. Your mission is to get the stone back. This is a C-ranker." Shizune explained. Ton-ton squealed in agreement.
"Chouji." Tsunade said. "Are you comfortable with these three as your comrades?"
"Well, It's not like I have much of a choice. Besides, I haven't had a mission in a while."
"Any of you have any objections?" Tsunade asked as if daring any of the four to protest. When none answered, she nodded satisfied. "Very well. Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, and Akimichi Chouji. As Hokage, I grant this mission to you four. Do not fail me."
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Now go forth!"
All were on time and departure had no problem. Almost.
"HEY! YOU GUYS!"
The four stopped with wide eyes.
"N-Naruto-kun!" Hinata said blushing.
"What's the big idea, getting a mission without me! I wanna go too!" Naruto complained.
"Naruto, the decision was made by Tsunade-sama!"
"Then I'll convince Tsunade-baachan to let me come with you! This isn't fair!"
"Naruto, Nothing's ever fair. Besides, we have all the help we need." Shino reasoned.
"Oh no you don't! You need me! Just wait a minute and I'll come with you! Besides, you guys are early! I won't make you late!"
"Oh for the love of-"
Naruto had already ran back to the Hokage mansion. "TSUNADE-BAACHAN! Let me come with those guys!"
"What? Why?!"
"Come on! I need to go on a mission! This is the first one we had in weeks, and you're not letting me go?! Why I oughta-"
"You can go."
Naruto continued not listening. "And what's more, you send Shino-baka, Chouji-baka, and Neji-baka on this mission! They can't do this without me!"
"I SAID YOU CAN GO!!!!!!"
Naruto ran off quickly screaming about silly Tsunade-baachan and her short temper.
"Ne, ne, are we there yet?" Naruto asked.
"No. We just left, you idiot." Chouji pointed out.
After what seemed to be an hour, Naruto piped up once more.
"Are we there yet?"
"No!" Neji shouted.
"Well, when will we get there?"
"Naruto, it's only a day until we actually do get there." Shino said.
"Oh come on!" Naruto complained as they settled down for rest.
"A-ano, Naruto-kun," Hinata said fidgeting. "C-can you c-come with me and p-pick..." Her voice trailed off.
"Huh? Oh! Berries!" Naruto picked a few from Hinata's hands, his fingers brushed hers. "Yum! These are great! What are we waiting for, Hinata! Let's get some more!"
Hinata blushed. 'Naruto-kun... Is holding my hand!' A silly grin formed her porcelain face. 'I-I'm so happy!'
"Oy, Hinata? You okay?"
Hinata jerked out of her dreamy state realizing that Naruto was waving his hand over her face. "U-Uh, yeah." She squeaked.
"Well, that's great! Come on, I don't know which ones are good." Naruto said with his hands on his hips.
Hinata blushed and quickly pointed out how to find good ones.
Chouji quickly gave tips on how to really enjoy the berries on a fine sunny day with the addition of mint. "That way," he explained. "You get a good taste of summer."
Naruto spat some mint leaves out. "Bleagh! It taste weird!"
"That's because you didn't clean it." Neji said annoyed.
As they ate, Shino had a few bugs scout the area. He then was surprised to find his bugs return so quickly, only to find out that it was Naruto's fault with his frequently unexpected farts.
And so, they came to depend on Neji's ability.
Neji's eyes suddenly widened. "Byakugan." His white eyes grew sharp and veins grew from his temples. He scanned the area thoroughly before gasping.
"What is it?" Hinata whispered.
"We're being watched." Neji murmured back. "They have us... Surrounded?"
"What, you sure about this?" Chouji asked.
"I'm positive!" Neji said.
Shino nodded. "So that's how they'll do it, huh? Alright, here's what we'll do..."
The thief signalled to his comrades, smirking. 'These children are sent after us? This will be too easy!'
Another thief leaped up to the first. "You remember our deal?"
"Of course. You guys get the stone, we help you guys activate it, the town gets into confusion, and we take it over from there." The thief grinned.
"And so that is what it's about, eh?"
Before they knew it, a barrier of bugs began to swarm around them.
One of them quickly leaped out, leaving the other to scream in agony as he began to lose conciousness.
The runaway thief signaled to others. It was time.
