“Geez, why granny Tsunade have to be like this. All I did was to ask where she sent both Sauke and Shika, now I’m stuck as a chore boy, delivering letters to the borders.” Naruto can’t help but complain in his usual Naruto-like fashion.
Tsunade finally after getting tired of his antics assigned him a mission which gonna take him a long time.
Of course, he wouldn’t be Naruto if he didn’t make a fuss about acting like a chore boy, delivering a letter to the borders, which any damn bird can do and thus, Tsunade has to coax him, more like trick him, into believing that this was an extremely important mission and only seasoned shinobi could do it.
She long would have acted on impulse and sent Naruto away for the sake of her mental health but no can’t do that, who made the annoying boy the most important resource of the village. If not for his Jinchuriki status and Akatsuki hunting his kind, Tsunade wouldn’t have waited to send Naruto away.
Even in this so-called important mission, he was asked to change his appearance and act like a normal civilian.
But that wasn’t enough, even without those annoying elders lecturing her, Tsunade couldn’t do whatever she wanted to, and thus in secret, she had to send a shinobi after Naruto just to make sure the knuckleheaded blonde stayed safe.
This ultimately brought Naruto here, almost at the western border of the land of Fire.
“She better tell me where is Sasuke after I deliver this damn mission,” Naruto whined again.
*Bonk
“Idiot, stop shouting, you are annoying.” Said the only kunoichi he was travelling with, besides the secretly trailing Anbu of course.
“But Sakura Chan…” Naruto rubbed his head, he had a hard head, he was even secretly proud of it in fact, but against his Sakura Chan’s punches, that head had 0 defence stat.
“You are the reason we are doing this pointless mission. So just suck it up…” Sakura said with a tick mark forming on her head and fist she was holding back from releasing its fury.
Her eyes comically went full white and fire appeared behind her like indicating her righteous fury. This was very anime-like settling honestly.
“But you didn’t stop me when I was asking for Sasuke teme…” Naruto grumbled, secretly glaring at Sakura with slight resentment. She too wanted to know where was Sasuke.
However, she wouldn’t let that know to others and thus Naruto was the best scapegoat.
The so-called righteous fury fated away as Naruto muttered this to himself and Sakura calmed down.
They both knew that they were not getting any information on Sasuke until Tsunade herself didn’t want to tell them.
“Let’s go Naruto, the sooner we complete this mission the sooner we can go back to the village…” Sakura just sighed, knowing that there was no other way, and if she knew their Hokage after all this time at all, then she knew that she would try to extend this mission for as long as possible to keep Baka Naruto away.
Another loud sigh escaped from her mouth, she couldn’t help but remember how good the time was when their team had her Sasuke Kun, he was both handsome and capable.
So much different than Baka Naruto here…
She missed those times so much that she has started to dream about her Sasuke Kun in broad daylight.
This was not her Sakura who had trained hard so that she could bring Sasuke back to the village and this was not the Naruto either who had pushed himself to the limit to catch up with Sasuke and trained under Jiraiya for 2 years.
They were stronger than what they were 2 years ago but nothing in comparison to what they were in their Shippuden counterparts.
Sakura once again ignored the imaginary Sasuke Kun in front of her and was ready to start moving but that was when a loud yell from her noisy teammate stopped her.
“SASUKE….” Naruto shouted.
“Baka… I know it's Sasuke Kun but what the point, stop yelling it's just an Imagina…”
*Blink
*Blink…
“You, you can see him…” Sakura muttered still not gasping the situation as she looked at Naruto and back to the Sasuke who was wearing a black coat with a lightning pattern and had a strange hawk mask dangling on his side. There was someone with him as well but she completely ignored that person.
“This…”

“I still can’t believe those cats have their own intel network.” Jugo can’t believe what he just has witnessed, an entire civilization of cats working underground.
“Don’t be too amazed, cats are not the only summon animals or intelligent animal clans at that. There are many other…” Sasuke smirked when he saw Jugo so amazed, he thought everyone in this world knew about Ninja summons or at least ninjas knew.
However, Jugo didn’t, his face was still in amazed at a meeting with those talking animals for the first time.
“So, what are we gonna do now ?” Jugo shook his head, getting his head back to the reason he was travelling with Sasuke. They weren’t supposed to be here in the Land of Fire in the first place, Shika planned for them to go to the Land of Wind, after Deidara and Sasori or just protect the One Tail Jinchuriki, Gaara.
But here they were, in the land of Fire, this was because Sasuke wanted to learn where was his brother who joined Akatsuki.
That was the reason they met the Neneko tribe in the land of Fire, but it was for nothing.
Even the Neneko tribe didn’t know the current location of Itachi, however, they gave some useful information and that was enough for the time being. In fact, Jugo would be more troubled if they really had gotten info about Itachi from the Neneko tribe.
Becuase that means Sasuke would abandon Shika’s plan and go after Itachi, in that case, Jugo didn’t know what he could do to stop Sasuke. So, this was better for him.
“For the time being, we’ll go to the land of Wind just as planned. Our main goal now is to capture both Sasori and Deidara and extract the extract location of Itachi from them…” Sasuke replied with a dark face. He was disappointed upon not getting any info about Itachi besides things which he already knew. In fact, Shika knew much more about both Akatsuki and Itachi. And even Shika didn’t know where Itachi was currently.
So, his only option was to find an Akatsuki member and extract information from them. Which happens to align with what Shika planned for them.
“Good, then let's get moving, we are already late…” Jugo nodded.
“Don’t hurry, Shika said and there are still a few months since Akatsuki started to make their move.” Sasuke rolled his eyes, this was the main reason he came here in the land of Fire in the fireplace.
If he didn’t have to wait for both Deidara and Sasori to attack the current Kazekage, then why would come all the way here by crossing half the continent to gather info on Itachi, he would have just captured those Akatsuki members and extract information from them.
“Let’s go…” Sasuke snorted, annoyed at how neither time nor fate was working for him.
But that was when he heard a loud, familiar yet annoying shout.
“SASUKE…”
And for some reason, for some unfathomable reason, he had the urge the shout back the blond’s name too…

“Come on, I don’t have the entire day…” Shika sighed, if he knew that these two Jinchuriki and Biju duo would be taking so much time deciding whether they would be staying in the village or coming with him, he would have visited them at the last.
At least after dealing with the Six Tails, and Three Tails.
“Wait, please give us some time, it’s hard to decide for Fuu after leaving here for all her life.”
“Hmm, I don’t mind. If I get to make friends then I will go.” Fuu muttered from the side.
‘Shush, you idiot girl, you can’t show this much willingness when a man asks you to go with him…’ Chomei shush Fuu.
Shika finally have started to believe that this Biju was indeed a female, but he couldn’t help it, he was the one who wanted to bring them in, and he had to endure it.
“Sure, back in our headquarters, there is a girl with red hair who manages everything, usually she gets bored there all alone, I’m sure you will find a great friend in her.
And not only her, there are others in our organization who would love to be friends with you.” Shika said, now trying to just hurry them up.
Fuu was easy enough to convince, besides all that power thanks to her Biju, she was in all except a malleable girl.
However, Chomei was the real trouble, the Biju had a very suspicious personality, and this was shown in the anime.
Even after providing her all the proof, even showing his Rinnegan, she didn’t outright believe Shika.
Now he could only wait until they were done thinking over it…
