The reason the snow mission was even in here was because someone asked me to have a lead in for their own story based on it, but they never did it. Last time I ever do someone that kind of favor.
Political Alliance Chapter 21: New Missions It had been a couple of weeks since the marriage and things were starting to get back to normal. Temari’s family had left the day after the weeding and later Jiraiya had to leave to continue on his own work. He said he would swing by Suna and take a look at Gaara’s seal for them when he got the chance. For the married couple things had only been calm for a few days before they had been given their first mission as a team. Apparently it had been one of those things that couldn’t be avoided, as Kakashi needed to go for this mission and he couldn’t leave them behind. Turns out that they had gone all the way to Snow Country to shoot some movie, which the main star turned out to be the princess of that country, well she hadn’t acted like a princess that was for sure. Temari and her had butted heads early on, but then it got even worse. They had been split up by these Snow Ninja and things had gone to hell at that point. Temari had been worried sick since Naruto had charged headlong and went to rescue their client. But in the end things turned out well, they found them and apparently Naruto must have knocked some sense into her. Temari still remembered that final battle with the dictator of that land, how he used the rasengan and the rainbow of colors. She had never seen anything so beautiful or destructive. They had returned a week ago and things were getting slow again. Truth was there was another thing that she and Naruto shared, they hated staying out of action for too long. So when they were told that they had a new mission both were glad for some more action. Although Temari always kept her joy inside with the exception of maybe a smile, Naruto was the opposite and literally jumped for joy. Soon Team 7 made their way to the Hokage’s tower and her office. “Hey Granny, what’s the new mission?” Naruto asked as soon as they entered into the place. Temari sighed in embarrassment no matter what she tried she just couldn’t get him to stop saying things like that. So had pretty much given up trying and just hoped that Tsunade wasn’t in a foul mood. She could see the one of the Hokage’s eyes twitch a little in annoyance but she let it slid. “I have a mission that I think Team 7 is perfect for, with the exception of Temari you all remember your mission to Wave correct?” The Hokage asked. “Oh yeah, the drunk old bridge builder that lied about the mission and we ended up taking on a missing nin from Mist.” Naruto spoke up. Tsunade gave a small glare at the boy, “I wouldn’t put it that way…but yes that’s the one.” She sat back as she passed the scroll to Kakashi. “Apparently some leftovers from Gato’s organization are starting up trouble again. And the village asked for help, specifically Team 7. They’re hoping that just you being there will make these rogues rethink harming the town again.” “Hmm, seems easy enough. Then again so did the original mission,” Kakashi sighed as he looked over the mission scroll. Nothing much was said, although the price being paid for was at least a B rank mission. It was hard to say if Gato’s people had hired any mercenaries or ninja but he wouldn’t put it past them. Before he had been killed, Gato had squeezed a lot of money out of the town, if his people had access to his wealth there was no telling what they would have paid for. “Well this will be great,” Sakura said happily. “I mean I’ve been wondering how they were doing since the bridge had been finished. I hope the town has turned around. Man, it seems like almost a life time ago when we were there but it’s only been like six months.” “Yeah a lot has happened huh?” Naruto smiled as he looked at Temari who gave a small smile back. “Well this should be interesting then,” Kakashi smiled as he tucked the scroll away. “Well, we’ll get ready and leave in a few hours.” “Alright and Naruto try to stay out of trouble,” Tsunade told him. “I read the report on the Snow Country mission, remember that you and Temari are important symbols for the village so try not to get yourself killed so early.” Although it was just her being Hokage, she really was worried for the boy. He was around the same age as her little brother had been when he had been killed. The last thing she wanted was to loose him, plus she bet Temari would be just as hurt. She had seen the way she looked at him when she thought no one was looking. Tsunade could see the bond there between them. She would hate to see it broken one day. “Aw you worry too much,” Naruto told her just brushing it off. “Besides I can’t die yet, I still haven’t become Hokage and you can bet that nothing will keep me from being the next Hokage!” Despite everything she smiled at that, Tsunade could see him as one day being Hokage. He just needed the time to grow into the man she knew he could be. It was times like this, she realized what Jiraiya must have seen in Naruto from day one. -Sound Base- Deep in one of the many secret bases of Orochimaru, the snake Sannin was currently taking the bandages off his new face. So far the transfer had gone well but now it was time for the final touches, to put his original face back on. He applied the fake skin easily enough and soon he was staring back into his pale face once more. “Ah, I never get tired of this part. Like a snake shedding its skin.” He chuckled to himself. He was currently in one of his private chambers, but honestly they all looked alike. They held only basic things as he never really needed anything without some kind of function. There were books for his research, a table for certain experiments and some candles that gave off some low light. That was mainly for others as over the years he had developed his eyes to have great night vision. “Lord Orochimaru,” Kabuto bowed as he entered the room. He was the only one allowed to just enter whenever he felt like it, mainly because he only entered when summoned or had something to report. He knew his place and that was rare to find these days. “Yes?” “Sir, spies have reported that Team 7 is back on the move again.” Kabuto had been given the message only an hour ago. Long ago, Orochimaru had set up his own spy network. After all a man like him had to keep eyes on everyone with all the enemies he had, and all the plans he had to make. This was just another such example, he had been a careful watch on Team 7, mainly a certain member of the team. Since the boy had been gone too long he couldn’t use his body but maybe that was for the best. If he could shape and mould the boy he might make for a better host. But he would have to have the boy come to him willingly. He had a long time to think and plan on this, he had a few ideas but the main one was to offer the boy everything he desired. And there was someone that would be able to help with that. “Kabuto send to Tayuya, I have a mission for her.” He said as Kabuto bowed and left. She would be perfect for the his plans. Her past would help the boy trust her and even the two might empathise with each other if they stayed in contact long enough. He had studied not just the physical side to humans but what made them tick. Once you understood how a person worked you could twist them and manipulate them to your own ends. Everyone had a weakness, such as Tsunade’s love for her dead brother and lover. But he hadn’t counted on their old teammate and that annoying little blonde boy. At any rate he had a new body now, but he just needed to bring Sasuke to his side. He had failed with Itachi, the man was just too good but those eyes were magnificent. He still remembered watching a young Itachi do things that even adult jonin wouldn’t have tried. When he had joined Akatsuki, it had been to gain more information and knowledge. Then the day when Itachi joined had been such a fortunately day, at least he had originally thought it. He had tried to sneak up behind him and poison him long enough to take his body, but Itachi had put him in a genjustu even before he had known. Those eyes were powerful, anyone who had them could reach heights that no other could. It was no wonder the name Uchiha had been feared for generations by other nations. But with Sasuke things were different the boy wasn’t as strong as Itachi so it would be easier to take his body. But now that he had to wait three years before he could do it again, Orochimaru figured why not improve the boy some more. If he was going to take his body, then Orochimaru might as well make it the best body to have. It might even last longer then the three years an average body lasted, oh the things he would learn in just one year with a sharingan, all the forbidden techniques that he alone would master. Maybe even figure out a way to give himself true immortality, there were limits to the resurrection technique but he hoped to one day find a way to overcome them. “You called for me Orochimaru-sama?” Tayuya said as she entered the small room with a bow. He grinned at the young girl, “Yes I have a mission that only you can do.” “What is it Orochimaru-sama?” She asked standing a bit taller. The fact that she personally was being given this mission was a very big deal to her. Even though she was part of his personal guard, there was always room to grow in Sound. “I want you to follow Team 7, do not be seen unless it’s unavoidable. You are to ensure that Sasuke is not harmed in any way and to study him. I want firsthand accounts of how well he is doing also I want you to make contact with him.” “Contact?” She was surprised by this but she would be a lot more surprised when Orochimaru told her the entire plan for her. She knew that she would do it, she couldn’t refuse an order from him but still, this was going to be a very difficult mission for several reasons. -Some time Later- Team 7 had been taking the same route they had taken home the last time they had been to the village. It was fairly peaceful, which meant no ninja ambushing them from puddles or a mist suddenly showing up with one of the world’s most deadly ninja in it. Although that didn’t stop Naruto from being on alert, the entire trip he was actually eagerly looking forward to being ambushed. At first it was okay, but he was starting to get on everyone’s nerves somewhat. It was no surprise when Sakura snapped first, she had been trying to control her temper lately with him but you could only take so much. “Naruto will you stop it already, we are not going to be attacked on this road a second time!” “But you can never know what’s out there,” Naruto told her still looking at the trees and bushes. “Last time I was right when I threw that kunai.” “Law of averages, even idiots can be right one.” Sasuke muttered. “What was that?” Temari said coldly to the boy, Sasuke just gave her a levelled look and turned his head. Temari was tempted to give him a talking to but that wasn’t her place on the team, at least not until he stepped way out of line. It was like dealing with a more emo version of Kankuro at times. Kakashi sighed as he watched things progress he had thought that the team work had improved since the Land of Snow mission, although the team did seem a bit more closer, maybe they were just stressed. That kind of thing happened and it affected people in their own ways. Maybe this would be good for the team after all to do this mission, this was Team 7’s first real mission and it had been a good growing experience for them all. It would be interesting to see what had happened to the village with Gato gone all this time. After Sakura finally got Naruto to ease up, the trip went quieter now. After two more hours they were finally at the bridge. It looks like they had put up a sign up top for the name as well as some minor things like paint on certain parts. It was Temari that noticed the named first and stopped in her tracks. “The hell...The Great Naruto Bridge?” She smiled giving Naruto an amused smile. He looked up at the bridge and was literally shocked to see the name of it. When they had left they hadn’t heard what it would be called. Naruto blinked as he read the sign again just to be sure that he wasn’t imagining things. Then he had a huge grin plastered on his face. This was by far one of the coolest things that had happened to him in his life. Already he was having things named after him, he was becoming one great ninja, at least in his own mind. He couldn’t wait to get back and tell the others he has a bridge named after him. Naruto knew that Kiba’s reaction would be the best, and Lee would try to get a mountain named after him. “How come it gets named after Naruto?” Sakura sighed a bit disappointed. “I mean we were all there.” Although she knew that she hadn’t done much at all, that was kind of depressing thinking back on it. It was when Temari had shown up that Sakura didn’t want to be that kind of ninja anymore, the kind that sat out the battles. She had done a lot better in Snow Country but she planned to improve some more. Although Kakashi had taken on Zabuza alone, twice even. Plus Sasuke and Naruto had fought, so that was why Sakura felt the team should have been honoured. She cast a look to Naruto who looked happy, she felt a small smile tug on her lips as she watched how excited he was. She guessed it was only natural, Naruto craved attention and having a bridge named after you was most likely the best kind he could have gotten in life. She just hoped that Temari would keep his ego in check, the last thing he needed was that to get even bigger. She had lost count of all the trouble he had gotten himself into by thinking how great a ninja he was. It wasn’t until recently he was strong enough to make those boasts. “Who knows,” Kakashi shrugged smiling. “At any rate we might as well go into town and see if we can track down the mayor’s office as the request was made through them.” “Then can we see Tazuna, Inari and Tsunami?” Naruto asked hoping that they could find them soon. He really wanted to see them again. Kakashi nodded, “It shouldn’t be too hard to find the time, I still need to see what the situation currently is and plan out what our next move will be.” Naruto looked over to a certain spot as his face grew a bit more solemn as well, “I think I’ll also visit Haku and Zabuza too.” They traveled along the giant bridge as they saw merchants and other people walking on it as well. By the time they crossed it they looked around. The village sure had a turn around since Gato’s death. There were more businesses opened, shops and buildings that had been falling apart were being fixed up. The people also seemed to have changed the most, once where there was this massive air of depression and poverty, there was nothing of the sort around. The people were wearing better clothing, looked a lot more well groomed and better feed as well. “Wow, and this place had been such a bump before,” Naruto muttered. “Naruto,” Sakura said giving him a slight smack to the head that wouldn’t hurt. “Don’t say things like that out loud.” “She’s right, you have got to learn to be more diplomatic,” Temari told him. She allowed Sakura’s disciplining of Naruto only if it was a light hit. She had gone over with the girl what was acceptable and what was not earlier. She needed help in making sure that Naruto learned what was acceptable but she couldn’t watching him all the time. So she had Sakura help out, she had been helping to keep Naruto in line and his ego in check even before she had joined the village. If Naruto wanted to become Hokage, it would not be an easy taste but she knew that he could do it. He just needed the help in becoming the best Hokage the world had seen. “So does anyone know where to meet the clients?” Sasuke asked. Everyone looked to Kakashi who gave a pondering thought pose before he just shrugged. Everyone felt a little disappointed in that. There really hadn’t been a mayor last time they were here after all so they have no way to know where the building was located. “That’s it, I’m just going to ask someone.” Naruto muttered as he looked around. He saw a group of kids around his age and decided to walk over to them. “Hey there, do you know where the mayor’s office is?” The others turned around and for a moment they were going to answer, but then they noticed Naruto and the others. They also noticed the Leaf symbol on Naruto’s head, everyone in the village knew of the Leaf, in fact ever since Team 7 had left the village considered the Leaf village ninjas heroes to their home. Especially those of Team 7, whom many of the kids had started to play in games. Many picked to be Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura in the streets was a common place. Others played the roles of Haku and Zabuza too but it was Team 7 that was the most popular. One boy got over the shock of seeing actual Leaf ninja in the village. “Hey, are you guys from Konoha?” “Huh, yeah we are, in fact this is our second time here.” Naruto smiled at them. “Second time...wait...you guys aren’t Team 7 are you?” the boy said as his eyes widened as he looked them over. Not many had taken good looks at them, but their descriptions had passed through the village. He looked them over seeing the blonde with strange marks on his cheeks, the tall adult with white hair and a mask and an eye cover. A girl with pink hair and red clothing, a boy with a handsome dark look to him. Temari however the boy couldn’t place, he didn’t remember more than one girl. “Oh my god it’s them!” Another boy shouted out. “It really is Team 7!” That got the attention of many other villagers who stopped to take a good look, there were quickly many people talking and whispering. Some would stare openly in amazement that the heroes had returned to their village. It was a little uncomfortable with the younger ones as they weren’t used to it, even Temari was feeling a little odd. Most likely because she had caught a few asking who she was but it was the feeling she was getting from the people around them. In her own village because of her status and her family she wasn’t very approachable. People had always kept their distance and there was a kind of forced respect and maybe a hint of fear. It had changed a bit when she moved to Konoha, but this was different than anything she had seen. Most of her missions had been the more dangerous kind and not many people knew about them. She had never saved a village before so seeing how the people reacted with Team 7 made her a little envious. The people in Snow had been nice to them once the Princess was put back in power, it was like that here only more so. If they went back to Snow would this be the kind of reception she could hope to have? There was a high pitched squeal and suddenly one of the girls had latched onto Naruto full force in a giant glomp. Naruto wasn’t used to this kind of affection from others so he wasn’t sure what to do, besides he was married now, he shouldn’t let girls just do that should he? “Oh my god, I’ve wanted to meet you for so long! I saw you as you left but I couldn’t get to see you, I’m one of your biggest fans, me and the others think you’re so cool and cute! Oh I can’t believe I said that! But it’s all true, I can’t believe you’re back!” the young green haired girl said as she hugged him. “Uh...thanks?” Naruto said not sure what to do. Temari however did, she walked right up to the girl, grabbed the back of her shirt and yanked her off. She make sure it wasn’t too hard but just hard enough to let the girl know that she was out of place. It would seem that Naruto had a fan club here, well obviously the news that he was off the market hadn’t reached here, no surprise really. So now she planned to not only set this girl straight but anyone else as well, it was time to mark her territory to everyone. “Hey what the hell was that for!?” The girl said as she rubbed her butt where she had landed. “That was to tell you to keep your hands off my husband,” Temari said coldly to the girl. Everyone was shocked by the news as they looked at the two of them. “H-Husband?” another girl in glasses asked looking disappointed and surprised. “Yes, I’m Temari Uzumaki, wife of Naruto Uzumaki and I’ve very protective of him. So please let any other girl know that he’s mine. I don’t mind you being friendly with him, in fact I encourage it but there are limits I will not tolerate. Is that clear?” Temari crossed her arms as she gave a very commanding presence. It was no small wonder, she was the daughter of the last Kage of Suna, she was one of the strongest genins in both Konoha and Suna, for both females and males. There was no way she was going to let any girl make Naruto uncomfortable or try and steal him away. Naruto made her happy in life, happier than she had ever been honestly and she wasn’t going to lose it. Plus she still wasn’t done with making Naruto’s dreams a reality. Kakashi sighed, it looked like they were in for a very unique experience with this mission. He just hoped that a jealous wife wouldn’t kill any of the civilians. This was the reason why he preferred those missions that didn’t involve lots of exposure. You did you job, got paid for it and only the ninja would know, when the civilians knew of your accomplishments that could only made things harder. It would be harder to move around unnoticed and most likely if the enemy had men planted in the village, by night fall they would already know they were here.
