28

IMPORTANT: Hey guys so wattpad kinda flagged this chapter because of a certain picture I put up where Sasuke was cosplaying as a teenage girl and about to make out with Naruto leaning on him.. 

Smh I don't even know why its bad but fine!

I've removed the picture so that the flag is put down but then no you all know why I updated this chapter!

Now on with the story and my old AN:

They are such a cute OC team!

Enjoy reading!

<3

Creds go to the pic's owner..

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Are you all well rested?" Kakashi asked his group of genin as they got off of Nozomi and hid in the forest.

After resting in an inn, Kakashi made them get up and forced Akina to summon Nozomi.

Thanks to Akina's summons, they reached Kusagakure earlier than expected.

Akina looked extremely well rested and chipper. Looks like she slept without nightmares.

Sasuke seemed to be ready too.

Sakura nodded but had a fearful expression on her face she was trying to hide.

Naruto was quiet which was unlike him. He stared at his feet.

"Now listen to me. This mission Tsunade sama has appointed us, is very important and dangerous. We have to be careful at all costs. That means no fighting and no daydreaming."

He turned his gaze to the two boys before resuming.

"We will have to split up in groups to search for him. We will enter Kusagakure first and then make along the border until we find him. During that time, we will have to blend in with the locals. Make sure to repress your chakra and talk to them. Ask about Tora but make sure they don't get suspicious. Avoid combating at all costs. His safety is the first priority. Understood?"

Everyone nodded seriously. After yesterday's match, they knew their lives were at stake here just like the Wave mission. 

"Sensei, can we stay together?" Akina asked her eyes flickering to Sakura.

Kakashi hesitated as he thought it over.

Sakura was clearly shaken up over yesterday. In the middle of the night, Kakashi had a painful memory of when Rin was kidnapped.

His gaze turned to Sasuke and Akina. 

Orochimaru wanted them and probably knew they were coming.

Naruto was silent and clearly not like himself. He was shaken up since he killed multiple people.

Kakashi sighed and stole the Nara's line. 

This is quite troublesome to be honest.

He decided he was going to give Tsunade hell when they reached back. He'd submit the mission details a week later and make sure Akina was busy all the time.

"Maa, I guess that'd be safer. Here, wear these traveler cloaks. We won't travel all together, but be in close proximity of each other. Sakura and Naruto, you both are with me. Sasuke and Akina, you both are together. Please don't get distracted."

Akina smiled a little. 

They wore the black cloaks and covered their heads.

"Sensei, we might want to change our hairstyles. Its kinda obvious." Naruto spoke up.

Sakura touched her hair and blushed.

Kakashi patted his hair down only for it to stand up again.

"Right, Naruto. We have to henge. Keep the transformation on you at all times. It'll take away your chakra continuously but we have no other choice." 

We henged and stared at each other.

We.. all turned into our parents when they were younger, save Naruto.

Naruto had turned into a girl with blonde hair and whiskers who thankfully had clothes on.

Akina looked at them. "Maybe turning into our parents wasn't the best idea."

They looked at her shocked until Kakashi broke the silence.

"You know how they looked like?"

She looked away.

"Akina chan, do you know how my parents looked like?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi turned wide eyed to stare at the fidgeting girl. Sakura and Sasuke leaned in, curious.

"I know how your mother looks like.." She henged into a girl with red hair and violet eyes wearing a brown dress.

"I'm Kushina Uzumaki dattebane! I love ramen." She smiled at Naruto.

Kakashi froze. 

She looked so much like a younger version of Kushina that he was kinda spooked.

"Naruto, are you fine?" Akina transformed as Kushina asked the blonde boy who broke out of his trance.

"S-she's so pretty 'ttebayo! I wish I had red hair. What about my dad?"

Akina turned back into herself. 

"Ah.. I-I don't know.." She trailed off.

Sakura did the symbol for a henge and turned into a girl with brown hair and brown eyes. The rest of her remained the same.

Kakashi nodded. "Easy to blend in."

Sasuke went next and he turned into a boy with dull blonde hair and light blue eyes. He looked pale enough but had the same hairstyle. 

Naruto turned into a boy with darkish brown hair and eyes, just like Sakura.

"I'll be Sakura chan's brother!"

Kakashi turned to a man with brown hair as well with black eyes.

"There are way too many brown heads!" The Senju complained.

"Our cover is that we are a family." Kakashi said as he held Sakura and Naruto.

"We need color, but not too striking. In that case..."

Akina turned into a girl with silver hair and turquoise blue eyes.

"You'll stand out." Sasuke said.

"Hm be as that may, many people have grey hair including Kabuto. It'll be fine." 

"Fine. Change your outfits as well. Sakura, Naruto and I are a family from a neighboring village. Sasuke and Akina, you both are lovers. Your names will be changed."

He looked at each one of them.

"Naruto, you will be Menma Tanaka. Sakura, Asuna Tanaka and I'll be your father, Akihiko Tanaka."

"Sasuke, you'll be Kaito Nakamura and Akina will be-"

"I'll be Yume!" Akina blurted out.

"Yume Takahashi. Everyone is fine with it?"

They all nodded and Kakashi gave them a smile. 

"Good. If you find something, just talk about dango loudly. Also, remove your Konoha hitai ate."

Sasuke made a face but nodded anyways.

"Disperse!"

Akina and Sasuke made their way in the gates first with their travelling bag holding hands. The guards narrowed their eyes at them suspiciously.

"Who the hell are you?!" Guard 1 asked gruffly.

Akina smiled brightly. "I am Yume Takahashi and this is my boyfriend Kaito Nakamura!" She giggled.

"We've been running away from our parents to get eloped and landed here because they wanted me to get married to some random shinobi who wasn't good looking at all mind you and was bald. He looked horrible and he was the biggest creep ever! One day he peeked on me showering! I mean who does that. He's such a-"

"Shut up girlie! We get it. Just stop talking and go in. Don't cause any trouble." The second guard glared at them and let them enter. 

As soon as they were inside Kusagakure Sasuke turned to her.

"How'd you know to do that?"

"What?"

"Irritate them to death."

Akina smiled. "It works with everyone."

Sasuke didn't say anything but she could tell he was impressed.

"Now remember, we have to act in love. Can we go to in an alley?"

Sasuke spluttered as he blushed. "Kakashi said not to get distracted!"

Akina giggled. "What did you think we were going to do, Sasuke? I wanted to summon my birds."

He looked away embarrassed and she dragged him to a desolate alley. He covered her body as she did the summoning jutsu.

"Kokomi chan!"

"Akina san! Nice to see you."

Sasuke peered down at the blue robin. "This is the same bird who was injured?"

"Yeah she is my summon. Kokomi chan, please look for a guy called Akio Tora. He is a man with black hair and vibrant green eyes. He looks like he is in his mid twenties and has a sharp jawline and a pointy chin. His cheekbones are prominent. He is in need of medical attention as well."

Kokomi nodded and flew up as she began searching for the man.

"Now lets go, Kaito kun!"

Sasuke smirked. "Sure Yume."

They came out of the alleyway and came face to face with Tayuya.

Tayuya looked at them suspiciously. "Who are you?"

Sasuke spoke up with a charming smile.

"I am Kaito Nakamura and this is my girl Yume. We are eloping." He pulled Akina by her waist and she laughed.

Who knew Sasuke was such a charming and good actor?

Tayuya fell for it and she smiled. "Well congrats you two! But how old are you anyways?"

"16." Akina said firmly.

"A little young but cool. You want me to show you guys around?"

Marriage at the age of 16 in the shinobi world was uncommon but not unheard of.

"That would be amazing um..." Sasuke trailed off.

"My name is Tayuya."

"Tayuya chan! I love your name." Akina gushed.

There are three ways to spy.

1. Act like a broody person in the corner, taking shots.

2. Take an enemy shinobi's place.

3. Butter your target up.

Akina chose the third one. There might be more but she didn't know.

She blushed. "Thanks Yume chan! Anyways Kusagakure has amazing views."

"Can we eat first, Tayuya chan?" Akina interrupted her.

"Oh! I'll take you to my favorite shop. They sell almost everything there."

With a smile, Tayuya led Sasuke and Akina into the shop. She grabbed his hand tightly.

After taking their orders, the waitress walked away.

Akina held Tayuya's hand excitedly. "How does it feel to be a kunoichi? It must be fun ne."

Tayuya laughed. "It is at times. Since you are a kunoichi, most people underestimate me which makes them all the more fun to beat yeah."

"So is it fine to live in Kusagakure?" Sasuke asked.

Tayuya frowned. "I don't want you both to stay here because its not filled with... good people. Also, its primarily a shinobi town and not a civilian one."

Akina held Sasuke's hands for effect. 

"I always wanted to be a kunoichi Tayuya chan but my parents never approved. Can you tell me about some of your missions?"

Tayuya's face became guarded. "Ah since you are a civilian you probably don't know this but we aren't allowed to reveal mission details."

The waitress set their meals down.

Sasuke's red warning flags went up and he gave Tayuya a boyish grin.

How does that dobe smile all the time? 

"Sorry! Its just that we were thinking about becoming ninja ourselves. We wanted to know what we were getting into." He spoke easily.

Tayuya shifted uncomfortably. "I shouldn't be saying this but you should go to Konoha. They are much friendlier than Kusagakure." 

She looked around nervously as if she expected Orochimaru to pop out of a dustbin and yell 'You're fired!' at her. She didn't want Orohimaru to perform experiments on this lovely couple.

Akina pouted. "But you are an amazing friend! I love it here already."

"Look, Yume chan and Kaito kun please remain as civilians for it'll be safer." She whispered lowly.

"Why? Tell us about a mission. Maybe then we'll reconsider." Sasuke proded her lightly and kissed Akina's forehead.

"Oh Kami you guys are stubborn. If I tell you what I'm doing, you guys will be terrified."

Sasuke heard a sniff next to him and he turned to her, eyes widening at her acting.

"Please Tayuya chan! Tell me about a mission."

Tayuya panicked and turned to Sasuke for some help who looked equally panicked.

He brought Akina to his chest and soothed her.

"Her parents used to tell her the same thing, being shinobi themselves. She misses them dearly but can't go back." Sasuke made up a lie on spot.

"Ah I- Fine! Kami please help me. I'll tell you a mission I'm working on." She grumbled, taking pity.

Akina smiled in Sasuke's chest. 

"Please tell us the mission you're working on." Sasuke said.

Checkmate.

"My comrades and I are looking for a man named Akio Tora. He's a spy from Konoha and we have to capture him."

"Omo! That's interesting! Have you found him yet?" Akina made her eyes anime sparkle for effect and the elder kunoichi laughed being put at ease.

"No. But the one to capture him will get an award from Oro- I mean our leader. He doesn't want any secrets to be spread."

Sasuke nodded. "We hope you'll be the one to capture him!"

Tayuya smirked and confidence oozed out of her.

"A civilian told me he saw a man by that description running towards the abandoned building east of here. I'm so winning!"

Sasuke couldn't believe his ears. 

This has got to be one of the smoothest missions ever.

Kami was definitely on their side. (lol I'm Kami.)

Akina squealed. "That's amazing! What are you waiting for? Go capture him. Kaito kun and I will wait here for you."

Tayuya got up. She totally got distracted by the beautiful young couple.

"Ah you are right, Yume chan! I will see you later."

Sasuke frowned. "You aren't coming back?"

She shook her head. "No. I must be heading out now. It will take some time."

He shot her a grin. "We'll be staying in a local inn and will be here tomorrow as well, same time. Tell us how it goes then."

Tayuya smiled. "See you tomorrow!" She ran off in the direction aforementioned. 

Akina and Sasuke high fived each other discreetly.

"Well done." He whispered.

"You too, Kaito."

They walked out of the restaurant and saw Kakashi and the others nearby talking to some civilians. Looking at Sakura's frustrated face Akina figured they didn't get much information.

Sasuke and Akina walked towards them, casually and started talking about dango. Loudly.

"Ne Kaito kun, why don't you like dango?" 

"Because I don't like sweets Yume dear." Akina's eye twitched.

She hated all those tacky nicknames. 

"Aww honey bear, I promise once you try them you'll love it!"

Sasuke made a face. That was the worst thing he'd been called.

"Cupcake, I don't want to try dango at all." 

He shot her a sickingly sweet smile and held her hands, hostility being aimed at Akina. She did the same and electricity cracked around them as only they could see it. They continued walking towards east side having caught their teams attention.

"Care bear." Akina said.

"Angel face."

"Crazy hot stuff."

"Cutie pie."

"Monkey muffins."

"Princess."

"Sugar."

"Honey."

"Daddy."

Sasuke choked. Akina smirked. 

She won.

"Baby girl."

Her smile faltered.

Maybe he won. He smirked and poked her forehead and she stumbled back.

Akina and Sasuke stopped walking having reached the abandoned building. It looked like no one was here.

They saw a flash of red hair and hid in the shadow of a building. 

Tayuya walked out annoyed and stomping her foot like a toddler.

They entered inside and Kakashi and the others followed them in after a few minutes.

"What in the world was that name calling?" Kakashi shuddered.

"He called me dear first!" Akina pointed at him.

"It was to stay in character."

"Yes yes. What did you hear?" Sakura asked impatiently.

Sasuke told them everything what happened between them and Tayuya as Akina scouted the building out.

She frowned. Looks like no one was here.

"No one's here. Its a dead end."

"Damn it. We have to meet up with Tayuya again." Sasuke groaned.

"What's this dattebayo?" Naruto tried pulling up a tile on the ground and failed. He fell back on his ass.

Groaning in pain he rubbed his ass and got up again.

"Sensei, is that a fake tile?"

Kakashi walked closely towards it and inspected it using his sharingan.

"Yes. It seems to be thrumming with chakra. Sasuke, Akina close the doors. Naruto help me lift it up."

They did as followed and Sakura mentally gave herself a pep talk.

You can do it!

"SHANNARO!" She punched the tile that was being lifted and a huge crash echoed as it broke into pieces.

They stared at her wide eyed and a little scared.

Sakura looked at her fist. It was slightly red but didn't hurt. The use of chakra saved her.

Akina laughed and put her arms around Sakura who blushed.

"That's my girl!"

"S-Sakura chan is scary.."

Kakashi mentally agreed with Naruto before looking down.

There was a tunnel and had a horrid smell coming out of it.

Sasuke wrinkled his nose. "Its the sewage system."

Kakashi's eyes lightened up. "He's definitely here. Follow me down and stay quiet. Sasuke you come in last and put the tile back in place."

"But its broken."

"Then put a blanket. We have to do it fast before anyone comes. Lets go mina!"

"Hai sensei!" The genin chorused and made their way down walking with chakra on their feet.

The team continued walking down until they reached the bottom where it split into two ways.

A fluttering distance was heard from the center as a bat came flying towards them, its red eyes glistening. 

Everyone tucked save Akina who only raised her hand. The bat settled on her. 

"Kokomi chan sent you, Kuro kun?"

"Yep. We've located him using sonar waves. Follow me."

"Just how many summons does she have 'ttebayo?! All I have is toads."  

"All varieties of birds." Sakura answered. 

"Except crows." She interjected.

"Hn. I admit, these birds are quite useful."

Kakashi looked at Akina. "Who gave you the summon?"

"I got it by myself. I'm part-" Her eyes drifted to Sasuke.

"-Senju." 

"Part Senju?" Naruto asked.

"Some summons are passed down through clans." Sasuke spoke up. 

Akina looked away guiltily. 

Another lie. The birds were not sure if Sasuke should receive their summons and he'd be greatly insulted if he came to know that.

"Can we stop talking and get moving? Kuro kun says he's been conscious for a while now." 

"Lets go."

The team ran after the flying bat as fast as they could. Once they get the spy and heal him, 50% of the mission will be done.

"He's here!" The bat screeched and the team stopped as they saw a man lying on the ground. The bandages around his body was soaked in red and he struggled to hold up his kunai. The bandages weren't helping him much and his ankle seemed to be a deep reddish purple in color.

"S-stay away.." He was awake. The team let their henges drop.

Sakura gasped in horror and she took a step towards him.

"Tora san, we are from Konoha."

"Show y-your hitai a-ates..."

Kakashi stepped forward showing his hitai ate. "Hatake Kakashi from Konoha."

Tora closed his eyes in relief. "Hatake san, I didn't expect you to come."

Sakura rushed forward and knelt by him as she unwrapped his wounds. With a straight face she began putting cleaning his wounds with a wet rag.

"I need fresh water now!"

Akina stepped forward with her water bottle, handing it to Sakura.

The medic began her work as the others sat down or stood around not knowing what to do.

Kakashi and Akina whipped out their books almost instantly and began reading it.

Sasuke and Naruto were jeering at each other in hushed voices as they were having a stare down, daring each other to blink first.

"Sakura chan, how long?" Naruto broke the silence after an hour.

"I'm almost done Naruto." Sakura wiped the sweat coming from her forehead as her hands were shaking due to over usage. She took a chakra pill.

"He needs to undergo an operation. I've stabilized him to the best of my abilities but we need to reach Konoha soon."

"How long does he have?" Kakashi closed his book.

"Another day or so. If the internal bleeding slows down, two days."

There was silence for a while. 

"We leave immediately. Akina, use your summons."

"Oh okay. But we have to get out first. How can we do that?" 

Kakashi turned to Naruto. "Naruto.. Its time to put your training to use."

A big smile appeared on his face. "Yatta! I'll show them the power of the future Hokage dattebayo!"

"Future Hokage my ass! That was just distracting them with your sexy jutsu." Sasuke argued as he lugged Tora out along with Kakashi and Naruto.

Akina and Sakura were on lookout. 

Naruto grinned. "That is my best jutsu! One day I swear I'll use it and save us all. You'll thank me then."

Ahead Akina tripped and fell. Her eyes were wide.

Naruto could not be more right. Sometimes she wondered if he was the true psychic here.

"Are you okay Akina? Why'd you trip?" Kakashi called from behind.

"Y-yeah I'm fine. I didn't see the.."  She dusted herself off and stood up.

"... rocks."

"Rocks." Kakashi stated flatly.

"Uh huh."

"There are no rocks there, Akina."

The Senju blushed a deep red and huffed angrily looking away.

"Can't I trip on air?"

"Normal people usually don't."

"So what? Who died and made you the Queen of tripping?" She sassed back at Kakashi.

"Oy! No sassing the Queen of tripping." Kakashi replied with an obnoxious tone.

Akina grinned at him.

Kakashi on the other hand was happy that most of the mission has been completed. With her summons, they'd reach Konoha by nighttime.

This was the easiest mission Team 7 has been on, which hadn't ended in a disaster of course.

"Can we summon them now?" Sakura came out of the bushes. 

"I don't see anyone and we are far enough."

Akina nodded. "Kuchiyose no jutsu!"

Kisho appeared. "Oy yosei! You called?"

"Lug us all to Konoha."

"Oy! Its that Uchiha I helped during the attack." He looked at Sasuke and then his gaze turned to Naruto.

"You're the toad summoner. Can you summon one for me? I'm kinda hungry."

"Kisho! No eating summons. How many times should we go over this?" Akina groaned.

"THERE'S NO WAY I'LL LET YOU EAT MY SUMMONS YOU STUPID BIRD DATTEBAYO!"

Kisho looked amused. "Sure. Anyways hop on."

"There they are!" The team turned around wearily to see the Sound 4, armed with Orochimaru standing behind them as his eyes lingered on Sasuke and Akina.

Kakashi knew it was too good to be true and Akina muttered something.
