"This is so troublesome."
"That's the spirit, Shikamaru-kun!"
Asuma sat against a tree. It had been a good idea that he had to pair the most energetic member of the group with the laziest. Maybe some of Rock Lee's enthusiasm for hard work would rub off on Shikamaru, that was his hope anyway. Shikamaru may be as lazy as anyone could be, but the boy was still a tactical genius. That was what made him special after all. From the other side of the clearing, he could see Gai cheering on his own student. If it was Chouji that was fighting then he could easily motivate him with barbecue when they got to the nearest town, but Shikamaru had no such weakness. He was too lazy to have a weakness. Asuma watched as Shikamaru made minimal effort yo block Lee's attacks. "Shikamaru, you're a ninja, act like one!"
"Come on, Shikamaru!" Ino shouted. "You can defeat him!" Asuma looked at the blonde. She was cheering him on from one of the trees that she climbed. "Shikamaru, move your ass or you'll let the team down!" That seemed to have a little more effect. It was funny how Shikamaru feared the Yamanaka's wrath more than being defeated. Maybe it was because she was female.
"That's enough for now." Asuma said after a few more minutes. "We have to get going." The spar came to a close. "We have to pull our weight on this mission. Kurenai and the others would expect no less of us." Ino leaped down from the branch that she was sitting on. "We aren't far from the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. Right on the border is a town where we can find refuge in before crossing the border the day after. Before doing anything in the Land of Wind, it is only common curtesy that we pay a visit to Sunagakure and the Kazekage."
"May the Springtime of Youth carry us forth!" Gai and Lee exclaimed together. Asuma groaned. This was going to be a very long journey.
"Welcome, ninjas of Konoha." Kankuro said as the group entered the walls of Sunagakure. "The Kazekage has been expecting you." He led the way to Temari's office. He knocked on the door, and waited for Temari to say that he could enter. "The Konoha ninjas, Kazekage-sama."
"Thank you, Kankuro." Temari said as Kankuro left the ninjas in the room. "Welcome to Suna." She said. "Now what can I do for you?"
"We just came by to notify you that we are in your patch." Asuma said as Ino stuffed a gag in Gai's mouth. "We are currently on a mission, and I thought that it would be beneficial to Sunagakure to know what we are doing here."
"Hokage-sama said that I should expect to see a team or two." She said. "She said that you would tell me more when you actually arrived." She looked through some of the neatly stacked documents on her desk and handed it to Asuma when she locarted the document. Asuma took a moment to read it. Making sure that it was, indeed, Tsunade's handwriting.
"We are seeking those born of clans known for Kekkai Genkais to be present." Asuma said. "We need to get to them before a group known as Chimamirehisakata gets to them first. That group seems to be attacking them, and if possible, stealing away young children. In fact Hyuuga Hinata had her dughter stolen away recently." He explained. "Please warn those that are in your care about this new menace."
"Of course I shall." Temari said. "Although I haven't heard of anyone that has a Kekkai Genkai in the area, feel free to search."
"Thank you for your permission." Gai said pulling the gag out of his mouth. "May you always bloom in the Springtime of Youth!" Ino quickly replaced the gag again and stuffed a second one in Lee's mouth for good measure.
"Please take care, I shall send a guard of Suna ninjas with you to make sure that you are safe." Temari said. "Kankuro!" The puppet master entered the room. "Make a team of Suna nins and have them escort the Konoha nins about. We don't need any of them to be injured in out land, do we?"
"Of course not, Kazekage-sama." Kankuro said. "I shall return shortly." With that the puppet master left the chamber.
He returned shortly later with his chosen team. "Come along, strangers." Kankuro said. "The people of the Land of Wind are often suspicious of strangers, so with us there with you, you're more likely to get what you seek."
"Thank you for the assistance." Asuma said as they left the Kazekage's office.
"Sand and Leaf are allies. It wouldn't do us any favours if we left you without guides. The desert surrounding Suna is difficult for strangers to transverse through without a guide. Anyway I want to know how my little brother is." Kankuro said as they met up with his selected team. "So who is looking after him now?" He opened his canteen and started to drink some of the water."
"Orochimaru." Asuma said before getting an unexpected shower.
"You let that snake bastard get his hands on Gaara?!" Kankuro shouted. "What is the Hokage thinking?"
"Your brother has learned more from Orochimaru than he would have done from most of the other Jounins Konoha has, even if he played second fiddle to Orochimaru's boyfriend." Asuma said. "I believe that Tsunade was right in placing him with Orochimaru. She is rarely wrong about things like this." Asuma wiped the water from his face. "Trust the Hokage on this. Your brother will be much stronger when he returns home after being trained by one of the Legendary Sannins."
Kankuro growled under his breath. Did Konoha really trust missing nins so easily? "I guess we have to trust your Hokage on that." He said eventually. "Although I will be telling Temari once we return." He looked at the others. "I guess the first stop is Sabakubara." He threw each a full canteen. "Our little journey starts now."
