Kakashi, Maito Guy, and Kurenai entered Tsunade's office, smiling slightly when she looked up at them.

"If you've called us here...that must mean..." Kakashi started. Kurenai's smile grew wider to match Tsunade's grin, and Maito Guy stared silently.

Tsunade stood up and held up six bottles. Two of them held a green liquid, two more were red, and the last two were blue. "It is done."

"And has the Hyuuga mansion been evacuated?" Kurenai asked.

"Yes. They all agreed to leave for three days, not counting today."

"Three days?" Kakashi asked with a frown.

"Are you sure that's long enough?" Maito Guy asked.

"I hope so. But we'll talk about that later. For now, gather your students."

The three team leaders nodded and left.

Naruto Uzumaki and his other two teammates, Sakura Haruno and Sai, were currently heading towards Ichiraku Ramen. It had taken some convincing from Naruto, but eventually the other two shinobi had agreed to go. Naruto crossed his arms behind his head and smiled mischievously as he walked. Sakura looked at him and silently rolled her eyes. Sai, on the other hand, cried out in surprise and stopped suddenly. Naruto and Sakura were too busy looking at each other, and walked right into Kakashi, nearly knocking him over.

"Whoops, sorry Kakashi-sensei. We weren't looking where we were going," Sakura apologized.

"It's ok. I should probably stop popping up in front of you anyway," Kakashi replied.

"That would be nice," Sai said with a frown.

Naruto looked up at Kakashi. "So what are you here for, Kakashi-sensei?" He grinned suddenly. "Are we going on a mission?"

Kakashi sighed. "No, Naruto. Actually, I'm just here to see you and Sakura. You've been invited to a sort of treasure hunt at the Hyuuga mansion."

Sakura raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms, but Naruto's jaw dropped in excitement. "Really?! That's awesome! We should totally go, Sakura!"

"Actually, it's mandatory."

"WHAT!" Sakura cried. "We could be doing something important, but instead we have to go on a treasure hunt?"

"Sorry, Sakura. Fifth Hokage's orders," Kakashi said with a shrug.

Sakura glared at him. "I'm going to go talk to her..."

"NO!" Kakashi cried. Sakura blinked at him. "Uh...I mean...the hunt is important. The winner's team gets to go on an S-rank mission!"

Naruto's eyes widened. "We're going."

Before Sakura could interrupt, Kakashi said, "Great! Pack enough clothes to be there for three days, ok?"

"Why isn't Sai invited?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi looked around, searching for an answer. "Um...I don't know, you'll have to ask Tsunade. But I hear the other teams will only be bringing two people, too."

"Really? Do you know who's coming?" Sakura asked.

"Well, Asuma's team is off on a mission, so I'm pretty sure it'll be two people from Team Gai and Team 8. Four in total." Kakashi knew full well exactly who was invited, but decided that keeping quiet wouldn't be as suspicious.

"We better go get packed, then!" Naruto cried, grabbing Sakura's arm and dragging her away. "Bye, Kakashi-sensei! Bye, Sai! See you in three days!"

Sai sighed and looked at Kakashi dully. "Well, at least I don't have to go to Ichiraku Ramen now."

Kakashi shrugged and poofed away.

Naruto pulled Sakura all the way to his house. He left her outside in the front yard before heading to his room to pack his things. When he came back outside, she was gone. Naruto frowned. "I guess she went to her house to pack," he thought. After a moment he shrugged. "Well, I guess I better head over to the Hyuuga mansion."

Sakura ran all the way to her house as soon as Naruto went inside his. "Geez, he's being even more annoying than usual today," she thought, packing her stuff. After a few minutes she was on her way to the Hyuuga mansion. "I wonder what this treasure hunt is all about. Two people from Team 8...one of them has to be Hinata. And Neji's probably invited too...hey, there's a girl and a boy coming from our team, and there has to be a girl and boy coming from Hinata's team since Hinata will be there...which means Tenten's probably going to be there to make it a girl and boy from Neji's team. So...me, Naruto, Tenten, Neji, and Hinata...I wonder if it'll be Shino or Kiba that comes..."

Eventually she arrived at the mansion, raising a fist to knock on the door. Before she could touch it, the door jerked open to reveal a man in a suit. "You must be Sakura Haruno!" he said cheerfully. "I've heard what those fists can do...wouldn't want you to destroy our door now, would we?" He chuckled lightly and Sakura gave him a weird look. He noticed and stopped, clearing his throat. "Well, it appears you're the last to arrive, so we'll get started once you take a seat." He opened the door wider and Sakura gasped. She stared at what was probably one of many living rooms in the mansion, and it was large. Naruto and Kiba sat side by side on one of the couches, talking excitedly about something, Hinata sat in a chair by herself, looking around at everyone nervously, and Tenten and Neji sat on another couch silently.

Sakura stepped into the room and sat on a third couch by herself. Naruto grinned at her from his seat, and she looked away from him without saying anything. Everyone turned their attention to the man as he cleared his throat again. "Welcome! As you all know, this is the Hyuuga mansion. You are all here for one purpose: to find a treasure. You will work in pairs, with your normal teammates."

Sakura sighed inwardly as he continued. "The treasure is a small, gold marble..."

"What!" Kiba exclaimed. "This place is probably huge! How are we supposed to find a tiny marble?"

"Calm down, Mr. Inuzuka. That's why you have three days. The reward for the team that finds it is to go on an S-ranked mission." At this, all three boys grinned. "That's all you need to know. The hunt will start tomorrow, but before you go to bed, we must have dinner."

Naruto patted his stomach with a smile and all six shinobi rose. The man, who Sakura now presumed was the butler, led them into another room, which contained a huge table that was already set with food. Sakura felt her stomach grumble, and they all took their seats. Even Neji could be seen licking his lips.

"Holy crap, Hinata! You must have dinners like this every night!" Kiba cried to his teammate. Hinata shrugged.

"Hey...we don't have any drinks!" Naruto shouted directly in the bulter's face.

The butler looked at him through gritted teeth. "You must be the loud one. I was just about to go get them." He left the room, and came back a moment later with six glasses. Two were filled with a blue liquid, which he placed in front of Sakura and Naruto. Two green ones were placed in front of Kiba and Hinata, and Tenten and Neji got two red ones.

"What are these?" Tenten asked, lifting her glass and examining the liquid.

"Oh, those are special drinks, made just for tonight. They look weird but I assure you they taste good. Try them."

They all looked from the butler to their drinks, and then looked at each other. After a moment, Naruto shrugged and lifted the glass to his lips. Kiba looked from Naruto to his drink and slowly followed. Tenten went afterwards, and after a moment, so did both Hinata and Sakura. Neji stared at the rest of them, leaving his glass untouched. Naruto finished his drink, smacking his lips. "Mmm! This is good!" he exclaimed. Kiba nodded in agreement. Neji looked around suspiciously as everyone else gave similar reactions, finally picking up his glass.

He sniffed the drink, and Tenten looked over at him with raised eyebrows. "You're just being paranoid, Neji. I think we'd all be dead by now if anything was wrong with it!" Neji smirked at her, finally taking a sip. He set the glass down, licking his lips.

"Hmm...that is good..." he muttered.

Naruto grinned at him. "Told ya!" He reached for his silverware, and everyone else followed.

When they finished eating, the butler showed them to their rooms. The girls had to share a room, and so did the guys.

Neji stared at Kiba and Naruto from across the room as they chattered loudly. "I'm not going to get any sleep..." he thought. But eventually the other two boys got tired and stopped talking, and contrary to his earlier thoughts, Neji's eyes did eventually close.

When Sakura woke up the next morning, she had a headache. Sitting up and putting a hand on her head, she looked over at Tenten and Hinata, who were still asleep. Hinata was tossing and turning, kicking occasionally and muttering something about Akamaru, while Tenten's cheeks were red and she was panting loudly. Sakura's jaw dropped and she blushed in embarrassment, getting up out of her bed and deciding to shake Hinata awake. Hinata sat up and rubbed her eyes, looking over at Tenten when Sakura pointed to her. A blush also spread across Hinata's cheeks, but after a moment, she looked up Sakura, confused.

"What am I doing in the girls' room?" she asked. Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"What are you talking, about?" She tried to focus on Hinata's face, but Tenten was getting more and more distracting, and finally Sakura stomped over to her and shook her awake. Tenten jerked up and banged heads with Sakura.

"Ow!" Sakura shouted, clutching her head again. When they both recovered, Tenten glared up at Sakura.

"What the hell did you wake me up for?" Tenten asked. "I was having a good dream!"

Sakura glared back at her. "Uh, yeah...we could tell!"

Hinata looked back and forth between the seething girls, a grin slowly spreading across her face. "Cat fight!" she called out. Tenten's and Sakura's heads jerked in her direction.

"Excuse me?" Tenten asked.

Hinata's smile grew wider. "Nothing..." To avoid any more conflict, she stood up and walked into the bathroom connecting to their room. She turned on the sink and ran her hands under the warm water, lifting them up to her face and looking at her reflection in the mirror.

Tenten and Sakura sat side-by-side on the bed. "Um...what exactly were you dreaming about, Tenten...cause, uh...you were making really weird noises..."

Tenten blushed. "Uh...nothing...I was just dreaming that I was on the Ninja Academy track team, is all..." She laughed nervously.

"The Ninja Academy doesn't have a track team..."

Tenten sighed. "Dammit. Alright...I may have had a dream involving...Neji." She blushed even darker.

Sakura looked at her in disbelief. "NEJI!?"

Tenten nodded. "I don't know why, something must be wrong with m..."

"HOLY SHIT!"

Sakura and Tenten looked at the entrance to the bathroom in shock as Hinata came running out, tripped over her own feet and falling on the floor. "I'm a freaking GIRL!"

Tenten and Sakura stood up and ran over to Hinata, each of them putting a hand on her shoulder. "Hinata, what's wrong?" Sakura asked.

Hinata looked back and forth between them with wide eyes. "I'm NOT Hinata! I'm Kiba!"
