A Little Problem: Chapter 1 the Start

As the blonde walked down the cold, newly rained on streets of Konoha, he couldn't help, but look over his shoulder as he walked. He started to pick up speed as he rounded the corner, he looked behind him and sighed, no one was following, and it was just his imagination. As he turned back to face in front of himself, he bumped into a person falling backward flat on his back. As he slowly sat up he tried to get a good look at the man he bumped. As the guy's face slowly came into the blonde's sight he started to crawl backward trying his hardest to get away. Very soon his back was against a hard surface and he was trapped, unable to do anything. "Please don't!" pleaded the blonde as the figure slowly raised a kunai clutching hand. "Please don't do it, Sasuke!" the hand came swiftly down. All the sudden everything went black and a loud buzzing fill his ears. He opened his eyes and reached a hand over to turn off the annoyingly buzzing alarm clock. He blinked awhile, letting his eye adjust to the light that poured in through the window. The blonde slowly sat up with a depressed look on his face.

"Pull your self together Naruto. It was only a dream." He said to himself trying hard to forget the vivid dream he had. It had been 3 months since Naruto dragged Sasuke back to the village. Because of that his relationship he had at the time crumbled, almost as soon as he went back to Sasuke, he left him after realizing he changed and wasn't the man he once love. He sighed as he crept out of bed and walked into the bathroom. He messed with the knob in the shower until the water began to spray out of the shower head in smooth clear streams. He took of the shirt and boxers he was wearing and stepped into the cold water, as he stood there motionless his thoughts slowly washed down the drain. He stepped out turning off the water and grabbed a towel. He dried himself off and walked out of the bathroom, grabbed some clothes out of a chest of drawers, and dressed in his usual attire. A pair of boxers, orange baggy pants, a black shirt, orange and black jacket, and his black headband. He walked over a few steps to the kitchen and grabbed a kettle of water and placed it on the stove to boil. He grabbed a cup of instant ramen and sighed. He poured the water into the cup and grabbed a pair of chopsticks. Slowly he sat down at his small table and placed the ramen in front of him.

"What was with that dream? Maybe it was just something I ate or… Naa." With that he began to eat his ramen. Soon after he finished a little knock on the door began to start. The blonde walked over and opened the door to see a tall brown haired guy with sunglasses and a girl with long black hair and pupil-less eyes .

"Hi Shino, Hi Hinata what are you doing here?" Asked the blonde.

"We… uh, c-c-came to get you." Stuttered the girl

"Ok, what do you guys need?"

"We have to meet with the Hokage." Said the brunette with absolutely no emotion in his voice or on his face.

"Fine…"

"We have 4 A-ranked missions that each needs specific attributes, which will require all teams to temporary split and form new groups." Said Tsunade calmly to the group of 13 standing in front of her. "Group 1 will consist of Choji, Lee, and Shikamaru. Group 2 Sakura, Ino, and Hinata. Group 3 Naruto, Kiba, TenTen. Group 4 Sasuke, Sai, Shino, Neji. There will be no arguments what so ever. Here is your assignment you have tonight to prepare, you can leave for your different missions in the morning." With that the newly formed groups left. Kiba, Naruto, and TenTen headed toward the park to see where exactly they were heading to.

"Okay we are heading to The Land of Waves. Seems some chunin ranked ninja where killed with a weird Ice jutsu. It says that from witness reports he has a high Tai and Nin jutsu abilities. His attacks look random and not thought out, but in reality his attacks have done the most amount of damage with medical-like accuracy." Said TenTen as she read the scroll they were handed earlier. "His weapon of choice is either senbon or a trident."

"See-ya." Yelled the blonde walking away towards his apartment.

"The mighty Naruto, the self-proclaimed 6th Hokage, is scared of a little mission like this." Taunted the brunette.

"Baka. I'm not scared I'm going home to get ready to go. Geez and they think I'm dumb." Chuckled the blonde.

"Say that again I dare you!" Growled Kiba.

"I not scared of you dog breath." Said Naruto, now only a few inches away from hi face. TenTen then walked up while they were arguing and hit them both on the head with a clenched fist.

"Will you guy just shut up! Your worse then Lee and Guy sensei during a rant about the 'Power of Youth'!" yelled the girl, finally getting fed up with them. "We will meet back at the gate at dawn, and don't be late!"

And with that she walked off leaving the two boys just standing there.

"Who knew she was so easily P.?"

"Beats me. See-ya blondey."

"Don't call me that dog boy!"
