"Sakura-chan! Good morning!" shouted a young boy running towards his female companion. He was short, had bright sunshine blonde hair that was grown just barely above his shoulders that spiked out in every direction, electrified blue eyes that put the sky to shame, and hidden feminine figure by bright baggy orange pants and jacket, basicly an orange jumpsuit, with blue sandals. His companion had light pink hair and vivid green eyes, that made each stand out. She wore a short red Chinese dress with black shorts and blue sandals like her loud friend. "Naruto! Your late! Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke-kun already went ahead without us, leaving me here to wait for you! I didn't get to stay with Sasuke-kun because of you! Baka!" Sakura screeched at her friend, fuming.

Naruto scratched the back and smiled sheepishly at his teammate before replying," Ehehe,.. Um, I lost track off time with what I was doing, Sakura-chan. Come on, last one there is an Academy first-year!"

Naruto took off towards the Hokage's Tower with Sakura on his heels. Soon they were laughing and out of breathe as they ran free.

~Scene Change~

"You've been doing well on missions so far, and for this I will reward all of you a two week break from missions after you've completed this one. This is a simple C-rank mission, and you need to bring back an important scroll for me. It contains henge techniques and will be important for a few missions that we have accepted. Bring it back safely and you have your two weeks of rest." Tsunade finished briefing them on the simple mission. Tsunade had pale blonde hair, warm brown eyes, and a very large chest. She wore a green shirt with black caprices and black wedges.
Kakashi looked to her and nodded to her smiling, though you really couldn't tell for the fact he wore a mask over his left eye and half his face. The only evidence they could tell he was smiling was by the way his eye turned into an arc and he had smile wrinkles by his eye. Kakashi had gravity defying gray hair and was pretty tall. He wore a standard jounin outfit and black sandals. They left the room and continued outside the building. That's when the commotion started.

"Sasuke-kun! Why don't we go to Ichiraku's for dinner tonight."Sakura latched onto the dark boy's arm. Sasuke was taller than Sakura and Naruto both, had black hair that had a blue shine to it that was styled in spikes at the back of his head with his bangs framing his face, slightly in front of his eyes. His eyes were black and looked as if they were black holes ready to stuck your soul in. Sasuke wore A wide collar blue short sleeve shirt with the Uchiha fan on the back, white shorts and blue sandals. He was calm and stoic on the outside, but on the inside he was mentally sighing in annoyance.

"That sounds good. How 'bout I cut the date and make it one with me, Sasuke-kun!" a high pitched voice declared, as another girl latched herself to Sasuke's other arm. "Ino-pig! Back off, I asked first!"Sakura yelled at the new arrival. "In your dreams, Forehead!"the girl retorted fiercely. Ino, was one of Sasuke's fangirls and Sakura's ex-best friend. She was pale blonde which was tied back in a high ponytail and had pale blue eyes. She had on a purple sleeveless belly shirt and short skirt which she had promptly put bandages under, arm-warmers, and blue sandals.

Two others showed up right behind her. Her teammates were Shikamaru and Choji. Choji was fat and stocky with brown hair that was in two big spikes a top his head and you couldn't tell what his eye color was. He wore a big green jacket, white scarf, black shorts, and blue sandals. Shikamaru was tall and thin, and his ash brown hair reminded everyone of a pineapple the way it was styled into a high pony tail, and he had hard to tell eyes. He wore a green lined jacket over a fishnet shirt, dark brown pants, and blue sandals.

" What are you guys doing here?" Naruto bounced overt to Shikamaru and Choji while Sakura and Ino had a Sasuke tug-o-war verbal fight. "What Tsunade-sama forget to tell you?"Choji asked munching on the chips from the bag he was holding. Sasuke had escaped the crazies grip for the moment and was listening in on the conversation he had just walked up to. Naruto shook his head and looked eagerly at the two.

Choji nudged Shikamaru in the ribs to answer for him as he was finishing chewing on the chips he had just shoved in his mouth. Shikamaru grunted at the nudge and muttered "Troublesome." before answering,"We're coming with you to get the scroll. Our sensei is out on a mission so we have to go with somebody else on their mission." The others let the information sunk in and Sakura stopped fighting with Ino for a sec. to shout,"WHAT?!" While on the other hand Naruto jumped excitedly and exclaimed,"Really?! Cool!"

~Meanwhile~

AH- AH- AHCHOO! Tsunade sneezed loudly, and her secretary, Shizune, exclaimed,"Bless you! You aren't catching anything are you?" Tsunade thanked her as she sniffled and shook her head at the question.'Why do I have the urge to run all of a sudden? I feel as if I forgot something as well... Oh well. Maybe I can sneak around Shizune and go for some sake!' Tsunade thought, just about to sneak into action. "Good, because you have been skipping out on your duties and now you have a mountain of paperwork to look over and sign. Here you go, and I'm not leaving until every last one is signed and sorted out."Shizune explained as she put a foot thick amount of paperwork on the desk, and then making herself comfortable in the chair across from the desk, pulling out a book of justus to read. Tsunade looked in total horror at the work and groaned, letting her head to the desk in a loud Thud!
