This is a story set about five years after part two of Naruto- I hope you like it! CnCC is appreciated.
Chapter One
It was cloudy and raining in the Sound village. Just what Sasuke didn't want. He was sitting on a throne in the Otokage (i think that's the Sound village kage name) temple, bored as could be. After helping Naruto destroy the Akatsuki, he decided to rule the sound village- but he had no idea how boring it would be.
"Welcome," Sasuke said to a man standing in front of him, "How may I help you?" He asked, frowning. Come on, make it simple...You're lost, and need directions. Please say that.
"Well...My son...was just kidnapped..." The man managed to say, through chokes and sobs. He was obviously upset- his entire body was trembling.
Sasuke's expression turned from a frown of boredom to a frown of concern. Looks like my easy day is over... "The missing person office is right across the street. You should go there." He said.
The man shivered, and looked away. "Th-this is serious... My kid is only four....They wouldn't help me..."
Sasuke scowled- the missing person office was getting incredibly unreliable. "Ah, the Five-or-older law...I need to get that removed. Anyway, looks like I'll be helping you find your kid." He said, smiling. "Description?"
"Th-Thank you so much! He's 4, so he's small, has blonde hair, purple eyes, had a red shirt on when he was taken away..." The man said, frowning.
"That's not very helpful, except for the eye color. Anything specific that can help us seperate him from everyone else?" Sasuke asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes...He has a weird diamond-shaped marking on his forehead." The man said, motioning towards his forehead. "It's black, with a white dot in the middle."
"I understand. What's your name, and what's your kid's name?" Sasuke asked, standing up and adjusting his sleeves.
"I'm Arihiro Chizuka, and my son's name is Ukita Chizuka." Arihiro informed Sasuke.
"Right. Usually, I'd have you come along to help with the search, but I think your description is enough for me and a couple of people to do it ourselves." Sasuke said. "I'll assemble a group immediatly, and then go off to go find Ukita."
"Thank you again, Otokage-sama..." Arihiro said. "My wife died giving birth to him...If he had died, or was missing forever...I just...don't know what I'd do..."
Sasuke smiled, and patted Arihiro's shoulder. "Hey. We'll find him- trust me. Give us a week at most."
(outside the temple)
Sasuke groaned as soon as he left his temple- he had forgotten how hard it was raining. "Dang it." He muttered, as he walked through the village. After a few minutes, he found the home he was looking for. "Here we go..." He muttered, knocking on the door.
The door opened, and Karin stood in the doorway. "*gasp* SASUKE-KUN! Hi! How are you? Wanna get married? What's up?"
"...Hi, I'm fine, no, and I need your help." Sasuke said, fingering his sword habitually.
"Hmm? What do you need my help with?" Karin asked, adjusting her glasses.
"Well, we have a report of a missing kid. I need you to help me look for him." Sasuke explained.
"Great...That means you're getting Juugo and Suigetsu, doesn't it?"
"Indeed I am. Don't whine- I need a full squad."
"...Fine." Karin mumbled, looking away.
"Let's go look for the others." Sasuke said, spinning around.
"Right!" At least I get SOME time alone with Sasuke-kun...
"! Hey, Suigetsu!" Sasuke said, walking towards his watery friend.
Wow, those two seconds were fun... Karin thought, crossing her arms.
"Yo, Sasuke! What's up?" Suigetsu asked, grinning. "Darn it, you brought Karin along...." He muttered.
"We have a missing kid alert. Karin, go get Juugo." Sasuke said, eyes closing. Dang, what a mess this is turning in to...
(in Konoha)
Sakura shivered as she walked in a daze through the village. She had Naruto on her mind again.
Five years earlier, when Naruto was fighting the Akatsuki, Shino, Hinata, and Kiba were all killed. After the battle, Naruto said this;
"I'm still so weak...Three of my friends got killed...I won't ever let that happen again."
Of course, that meant that he left the village to train on Myokuzan mountain- and he wasn't back.
"Naruto....Come back...." Sakura whispered to herself, a tear escaping her eye. She didn't notice that Neji was standing in front of her, and she bumped into him.
"...! What the-? Sakura?" Neji asked, spinning around to face Sakura. He frowned, and waved a hand in front of her face, groaning when she didn't do anything. "In another one of your dazes, eh?" He asked. "-.- Say something."
"...Sorry...."
"Well, it's a start...Wake up, would you?" Neji asked, raising an eyebrow.
Sakura stared at Neji for a moment, and walked past him.
"Okay....Nice seeing you, I guess..." Neji muttered, rolling his eyes.
Sakura sighed, and sat down on a bench. Why she missed Naruto so bad was unknown to her.
(in the hokage office)
Tsunade turned, and watch Gaara enter her office. "Gaara. Welcome."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama. Listen- we've had odd reports of people disappearing lately. In the sound, sand, and rain villages, exactly 7 people have been either kidnapped or they disappeared." Gaara explained, sitting down in a chair.
"People are kidnapped all the time."
"This is different. All of the people who went missing were under 12, and they all had a marking on their foreheads. The most recent to disappear was in the sound village- Ukita Chizuka." Gaara said, frowning.
"What's so weird about that?" Tsunade asked.
"Well, all of the kids were connected- don't think it's weird that 7 kids, all with a marking on their forehead, went missing?" Gaara asked.
"...That is a little odd..." Tsunade said. "But what can we do about it?"
"I got a request from the Otokage to send four people to meet him and his team at the Hawk resturaunt in the Mist village in one week- apparently, the Otokage himself is searching for Ukita." Gaara said.
"Got it. I assume you were given the same request?" Tsunade asked.
"Indeed I was." Gaara said. "That's why I'm not in Kage uniform. I suggest that you have Naruto, Sakura, and two other Konoha ninja join me."
"I can only send Sakura- Naruto left the village to train 5 years ago." Tsunade said. "And Sakura's sorta been an emotional wreck lately, so good luck getting her to join you."
"Hmm. Interesting. Well, I'll go look for Sakura. I assume I have your permission?"
"Yes."
"Good."
"And Gaara?"
"Yes?"
"...Good luck."
"Thank you." Gaara said. And then he was gone.
(with Sasuke's team)
Juugo sighed, and put his hood on. "Sasuke, do you think that the Leaf and Sand villages will send the people we need?" He asked.
Sasuke nodded. "I have no doubt. However, it'll be interesting to see how they react when they find out that I'm the Otokage." He said, fingering his sword.
"I bet all you want is to see your Leaf village friends again." Suigetsu said, grinning. "You're a jerk outside, but inside, you're that soft leaf villager you've always been."
Sasuke chuckled. "You got me. Yeah, I just want to see my friends. Especially Naruto and Sakura." He said. "Karin, you've been quiet. That never happens."
Karin scowled. "Shut up."
"Aww, is poor Karin sad that Juugo and I came along?" Suigetsu asked. "You wanted Sasuke all to yourself, didn't you?"
"I said, 'shut up'." Karin said.
Bullseye. Suigetsu thought, grinning deeper. "Ooo, that's it, isn't it? You wanted to do what you did to Sasuke a long time ago."
Karin thinned her eyes. "Don't say it."
"Remember? You-" Suigetsu began. He didn't get to finish- Karin punched his head off. "GYAAAA!"
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO SAY IT!" Karin shouted, kicking Suigetsu a few times.
"STOP! I WON'T SAY ANYTHING!" Suigetsu yelled, head reforming.
"...You better not...." Karin said.
Juugo rolled his eyes. "Come on, can't we go anywhere without you two fighting? I swear, it's like you two like each other, but hurt each other to make people think otherwise.
Both Karin and Suigetsu went red.
Juugo managed to hide a grin of his own. Bullseye.
"Juugo, don't push it." Sasuke said, looking around. His eyes locked onto a tree, and he activated his sharingon. "SHOW YOURSELF!" He shouted, sharingon turning into Mangekyo.
Suigetsu looked where Sasuke was looking, and frowned. "...I don't see anyone." He said, raising an eyebrow.
Sasuke grabbed a demon wind shuriken, and threw it full force at the tree- the sound of it entering flesh was a sign that it hit. He dashed towards the person, and scowled. "Who the heck are you?" He asked. The person was a missing ninja from the Mist Village.
And was wearing a familiar cloak.
"An Akatsuki cloak?" Juugo asked, staring at the ninja.
"HEY! I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!" Sasuke yelled.
"Has it occured to you that that dude's dead? You threw the shuriken into his head." Suigetsu said, frowning.
Sasuke stared at the body, and frowned. "Oh. Darn, I need to work on my aim..."
"You usually have perfect aim! It's that sharingon!" Karin said, rolling her eyes.
Sasuke turned off his Mangekyo, and nodded. "I guess so." He said, spinning on his feet to continue on his path. "Come on, guys. We have no time to waste."
Suigetsu nodded, and followed Sasuke, glancing back at the body a couple times. Weird...An Akatsuki jacket...I thought we wiped them out...
(back in Konoha)
Gaara sighed when he found Sakura. Actually, he had found Sakura 20 minutes ago- but she wasn't talking. And for once, Gaara was really losing his cool. "SAAAYYY SOOOOMMMEEEETTTHHHIIIIINNNNNGGGG!" He screamed, eye twitching. "Jeez, she wasn't kidding when she said Sakura was an emotional wreck..." He muttered.
Neji frowned when he rounded a corner, seeing Gaara shaking Sakura by the shoulders, screaming rather interesting phrases. "...Gaara...What are you doing...?"
Gaara scowled, and turned to face Neji. "I need to get 4 Leaf Ninja to come with me to visit the Otokage."
Neji raised an eyebrow, and scratched his head. "You need people...to go with you to see...the Sound village leader?"
"Yeah."
"...Are you feeling quite alright? The sound village, last time I checked, was our enemy." Neji said.
"It was, but now it's not." Gaara said, shrugging.
"Do you realize how stupid that mission is? I mean, you'll all probably get killed when you see whoever the Otokage is, it'll be a trecherous path to get wherever you're supposed to meet him/her, you'll be-"
"You wanna come, don't you?"
"So bad..."
"Then come. Can you get two other people to come? The Otokage requested 4 Leaf ninja, and four sand ninja. I have four sand ninja, including myself." Gaara said, nodding slowly.
Neji nodded. "I can do that. Meet me back here in an hour."
"I'll be here." Gaara said, looking back at Sakura. "How do I snap her out of this?"
"I wish I knew. See ya later." Neji said, leaving.
"...Helpful...Geez, Naruto would-"
"NARUTO?! WHERE?!" Sakura shouted, looking around.
"-.- You've gotta be kidding." Gaara said, smacking his forehead.
"? Gaara? When'd you get here?" Sakura asked.
Gaara's eye twitched, and he sighed deeply to cool himself off. "Not too long ago. Look, I need four leaf ninja to join me and a few sand ninja to see the Otokage." He said, sitting down.
"The Otokage? You mean the sound village leader?" Sakura asked, frowning. "Why?"
"Well, there have been a bunch of kids going missing. All of them had markings on their foreheads." Gaara said.
"....Markings? Interesting...Okay, I'll come along." Sakura said, smiling. "Who else is coming?"
"Neji and whoever else he brings along." Gaara said.
"Got it. Let me go pack real quick." Sakura said, running off. Maybe Sasuke'll be there with the Otokage! And then...maybe he'll know where Naruto is! She thought, a huge smile growing.
(one hour later)
Gaara stared at the group of Leaf ninja, and nodded. The group was Sakura, Neji, Shikamaru, and Yamato. Not a bad team... Everyone here is incredibly bright, and has an ability that will make them useful if something goes wrong...
"Are we ready to go?" Yamato asked.
"Heck yeah!" Sakura said, grinning.
This is the happiest Sakura's been since Naruto left... Neji thought, smiling.
Gaara smiled. "Let's go, then." He said, turning, and walking out of the Konoha gate.
A group of eight. Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Matsuri, Sakura, Neji, Shikamaru, and Yamato. All chunin or higher. All with strengths that outweigh and counter each other's weaknesses.
The ultimate team.
Only missing one thing.
Naruto Uzumaki.
