Traveling through the forest, on a hot sunny day, the team jumps from tree to tree non-stop for several hours. The only words spoken were directions of which way Tenten's scent lead.
"If there's one scratch on Tenten, I swear I'll kick your ass Neji." Naruto suddenly says.
"Hmph." Was the only word that came from the prodigy.
"Thats all you have to say, we're all out here on empty stomachs while Konohas a target and you only mention a few words...kind of messed up if you ask me." Naruto mumbles and pouts.
"Let him be Naruto! It is very unyouthful to say such negative things! Besides...Gai-sensei had always taught us if you think positive then you receive great awards." Lee beamed while giving his signature smile and thumbs up.
The usual people ignored him but again Naruto tried to keep up with Lee and his comments.
"That doesn't always happen...I didn't get Sakura when Sasuke-teme almost left." Naruto said.
"Hmmm, hai, Neji and Sasuke are quite alike."
"Such non-sense." Neji stated coldly. Sasuke nodded slightly but keep moving forward.
"Hey! Hey! Sakura-chan! If Sasuke-teme were to...I don't know leave or die or something...would you think about going out with me?" Naruto asked innocently.
Sakura...trying to keep her inner self inside, couldn't take it anymore. A vein pop out and she clenched her fist ready to punch Naruto. But before she even touched him...
"OW!" Naruto exclaimed. "What the hell was that?!"
"Nani?" Sakura asked and looked around to find Sasuke next to her instead of in front.
Naruto whipped his head around and glared at the Uchia. "Sasuke..."
"Gomen, dobe, I needed to talk to Sakura-Chan about something. I guessed I hit you on the way." Sasuke said coolly.
One of these days...Naruto told himself.
"Baka." Shikamaru stated the obvious.
Kakashi suddenly came to a complete stop. The others stopped as well behind him.
"Were closer now. The enemy is only in a 12 mile radius. Stop talking and listen to the plan." Kakashi said with his eyes narrowing at the group.
"We're going to split up and take them down from all sides. Neji, how many are there?"
"Eight."
"Alright. Even numbers. Neji! Shikamaru! You both will go west. Go straight until you can turn on a 75 degree angle. I'll throw the first kunai for the signal. Until then wait until my command. GO!" Kakashi told and dismissed them both.
Afterwards he looked at Naruto and Lee. "You two will go east until you reach a mile radius with the enemy. Turn at an 66 degree angle and wait there. Do not mess this up. We're running out of time before we have to get back to the village. If Tenten is not found with in two days, she is reported as a missing ninja until after we know what will happen with Konoha. Understood?"
Naruto stood still frozen wide-eyed of what his sensei had just told him. Lee, shocked as well, composed himself.
"Hai. We will find her today! We're going five times the normal speed Naruto! YOSH! LETS GO!" Lee said grabbing Narutos arm and running in the direction they were appointed to.
Why me? Naruto asked himself with a glum expression.
"Sakura and Sasuke. You both with keep traveling south in this direction and keep trailing them. I expect the others to keep a faster pace so we can ambush. Don't get to close though. If you are spot then whistle. You both heard what I told and Naruto and Lee. Let's make this quick." Kakashi finished.
"Where will you be?" Sakura asked.
"I'm going to run around the group to see if I can get them coming North. I'll be in front with Pakkun. You and Sasuke will be behind, and Naruto, Lee, Shikamaru, and Neji will be at the sides. Everything is set. Good luck!"
And with that being said, Kakashi turned and ran a different direction.
"Let's go."
"Hai."

With Neji and Shikamaru... On their way to ambush...
"What are you going to say?" Shikamaru asked.
"What do you mean?"
"To your uncle. Its obvious that your not going to throw Tenten away...so what happens next?" Shikamaru asks almost lazily while hoping from branch to branch.
"I don't know yet. I should move out. Even if it is the wrong thing to do to the branch. But then again, if Tsunade-sama hears about what will happen...she might give direct orders."
"Its the only you can hope for."
"It's the only thing anyone can hope for at this point in time." Neji said calmly while keeping his Byakugan up.
"If you need help with it, let us know."
"Hn" Neji said while taking a quick glance at Shikamaru who only smirked when he caught his eye.
"We're here." Neji announced.
"And now we wait. They can't be that well prepared if they're only resting not worrying about anything around them."
"Unless there is no need to worry..."
"What do you mean?" Shikamaru asked.
"I can't spot Tenten anywhere."

With Lee and Naruto...
"And that is the thirty second rule of Gai-sensei. The thirty third one was when all four of our youthful selves were on a assignation mission. Gai-sensei was teaching us how to---"
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" Naruto yelled at him.
"But, what else are we to talk about until we reach our destination?" Lee asked innocently.
"You have got to be kidding me! I would rather be paired up with the dog! Aren't you worried about your teammate at all?"
"Of course..although Tenten can handle herself for one day. I believe in her. I also believe that we will find her tonight. I believe that she will be okay. I believe that she will be very happy to see us. Our blossom has bloomed already...so you see Naruto, if you think about the positives, you will receive..."
Lee kept babbling on and Naruto found his own way to entertain himself.
MMMM...Ramen sounds pretty good about now. The smell, the taste...yes I can practically see it in front of me right now. Mmmmm..it smells so delicious. Wait...I have to think about Tenten. She's the main ideal today-
"Naruto! Where are you going? We're here." Lee said interrupting his thought. Naruto found himself about 15 feet away from where Lee was standing.
"Could have told me before." Naruto sighed.

With Sakura and Sasuke...
"We're getting close. Stay by my side. Best defense is the best offense." Sasuke announced while jumping from tree to tree with Sakura beside him.
"H-Hai."
"Whats wrong?"
"W-well..um...what if we find out that Tenten isn't okay. Right now...she can be-"
Sasuke put one finger up to Sakura's lips. "Everything will be fine. Don't worry. The first thing we need to take care of are the enemies. Once we defeat them, we find Tenten. She's fine. I promise."
"Hai, of course."
Sasuke suddenly hears a rustle in the trees next to Sakura. He pulls her to his other side a deflects a kunai. Several more are thrown and Sasuke battles them off.
"Get behind!" He yelled at Sakura.
Sakura tried to get back in position to stay beside him until...
"SAKURA!! LOOK OUT!!!"
