"It’s kinda creepy in here . . ." A voice murmured in apprehension. The owner of said voice took in the surrounding area with tremulous bright eyes opened wide as if anticipating the attack of an unknown source at that exact moment.

"Don’t worry Sakura-chan! I’ll protect you!" An exuberant voice trilled confidently. Then the blonde struck the Gai proclaimed ‘nice guy pose’ while his teeth sparkled with a ‘ping’.

The silent raven-haired boy gave his blonde companion a surreptitious glance. How the hell could Naruto have made his teeth sparkle with in a dark basement? In a dark basement with NO light?! The younger Uchiha fleetingly wondered if it was just some jutsu Gai had taught Naruto, then dismissed it. He need to focus on the task at hand. But more importantly on the hand currently groping his behind . . . "Sakura!" He growled. "Let me go now!"

". . . . But, Sasuke-kun, I’m not touching you . . ."

The younger Uchiha blinked. "Are you sure?"

"Yes . . . I’m right behind Naruto . . ."

"I’m not touching Sasuke-bastard!"

A chill slithered down the Uchiha’s spine. If Sakura wasn’t touching him and Naruto wasn’t touching him then who . . . ? Wide eyed the boy feinted left and away from the thing groping him. "Chidori!!!" He pushed his chakra into his arm and illuminated the dark room.

"Sasuke-kun!"

"What?! Is there and enemy nin around here?!" Naruto automatically sidled up to Sakura. "Don’t worry Sakura-chan! I’ll protect you!"

"I can protect myself Naruto!"

"Shut up!" Sasuke snapped. His eyes riveted towards the thing groping him. A statue. A statue of a golden monk. Oh perfect, he got felt up by an inanimate object. Damn. Wait a minute. The prodigy blinked, he could’ve sworn the thing . . . winked at him? Nah! With a growl he let the Chidori fade and with it the light previously illuminating the darkened basement room.

"Ne Sasuke-kun! Why – "

"Shut it." Sakura winced at his harsh tone of voice and placed a hand on Naruto’s shoulder to prevent him from speaking out. Naruto gave her a quizzical look but she couldn’t see so kept quiet just for her. The Uchiha glance around, allowing his eyes to adjust to the darkness once more.

"You know I think we should try looking for a flashlight or something." Sakura murmured, shuffling from foot to foot.

"Hey! I think I found one!" Feet shuffled in the darkness. Suddenly a beam of light appeared. "All right it works!" Naruto grinned as he flashed the flashlight around until it rested upon a certain golden monk statue. He whistled. "Wow. Looks like pure gold." The monk statue was about a meter high with emerald, it was posed with one flat palm in the air and the other pointed towards the ground. The blonde tilted his head to the side. "Kinda reminds ya of Orochimaru doesn’t it?"

Sakura made an impatient sound. "Why did Kakashi-sensei send us down here again?"

Sasuke turned his back to his comrades and scanned the room. "Because Gaara, that damned bastard." The last part was muttered. "Had specifically requested for our team to go and find very specific articles regarding a certain jutsu."

Naruto pouted. "Dammit! I bet that sadistic bastard only did it cause he’s still sore about me kicking his ass!"

Sakura shrugged. "That’s plausible. Come to think of it Hinata-chan said Neji’s been acting strange for some time now. I bet he’s plotting something against you too." She paused. "He’s probably gonna rope in Lee-san in his plot as well."

"Possibly use Shikamaru as their strategist – though why they would need one when dealing with you is questionable."

"Hey shut up teme! Jiraiya taught me this kiss ass jutsu the other day and I’m not afraid to use it!" Naruto growled.

Sasuke snorted. "As if anything you could do can harm me." He touched the curse seal on his neck. "Orochimaru made sure of that." He murmured to himself.

Naruto growled and muttered under his breath. "You couldn’t even touch Kisame or Itachi . . ."

Eyes narrowed dangerously. "What was that dobe?!"

"Nothing you bas – " He caught something moving with his peripheral vision. "Eh?" The blonde swiveled his head towards the golden monk statue with narrowed eyes. Did the thing just wink at him?

"What’s wrong Naruto?" Sakura asked as she sifted through some old scrolls in a cubbyhole a few inches from the monk statue. "And do ya think you could come closer? I need more light."

"Err . . . Nothing . . . I just thought that . . . Oh never mind." He looked back at his crush half-heartedly, he strode over to where she rummaged about. Sasuke joined them after a minute of just glaring at the blonde.

And that was thus how they wasted an entire day looking for a scroll.

"Oi! We got the scroll Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto called as they tromped up the stairs of the basement of the large green storage building. The blonde and his team mates shielded their eyes against the onslaught of the sun’s afternoon rays.

Their jouinin instructor gave a half wave to his students but didn’t take his eyes off his book. "Oh you can just put it back."

"WHAT!?" Sakura and Naruto screeched. Sasuke didn’t join in but his left eye was twitching at a very alarming rate.

Without looking up from his book he explained. "Apparently Gaara changed his mind about the scroll. He doesn’t need or want it anymore."

"DAMN YOU GAARA OF THE DESERT!!!!" Naruto shouted, he ran towards the main part of the village intent on playing search and destroy with everyone’s favorite red head.

From up in a tree some distance away a certain demon carrier sneezed.

Sakura groaned as she dropped to her knees. "We spent . . . five . . . hours . . . dust . . .scrolls . . . dirt . . . ERGH!" She covered her face and moaned. "I’m gonna go home and shower." She muttered, aimlessly following Naruto back to the main village

Sasuke twitched then twitched again, turned around and walked back home which was in the same direction his two previous companions had stalked towards.

As for Kakashi-sensei. Well he never even (appeared to have) noticed the departure of his students and just started to walk back home.

No one was around when a bright blue light shimmered softly from the underground basement.
