Alii-Chan: I can’t guarantee anything ... oops, uhmm, nothing! Eh hehe.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They all met at 7 sharp. Naruto was the first there, of course, with Sasuke trailing sleepily behind. He was not a morning person. They were both wearing their normal clothes, but both had winter clothes tucked into their backpacks. Eager Naruto had even gone as far as to pack a small board, just in case.
The second group to show was, surprisingly, Lee and Gaara. Gaara sidled up to the two chuunin, while Lee wandered over, a little further back, walking on his hands as a part of his morning training. “Hello fellow fighters of peace!” Lee called, over enthused. He was a morning person, like Naruto, unlike Gaara and Sasuke, who moaned and rolled their eyes simultaneously.

Gaara did not have a pack, or rather, he had brought his things with him, but they were all stuffed into Lee’s overflowing backpack. Lee only wanted to help, and tried to make himself more useful by taking Gaara’s things as well.

Gaara then looked around and noticed that Shika and Chouji were not there yet. He thought about this quietly for a moment, before asking. “Where’s Shikamaru? And where is that other one?” Gaara had never really learned Chou’s name.

“I’m right here.” Shika’s voice floated from behind Sasuke and Naruto. “And the other one is here with me. His name is Chouji, by the way.”
Shika grinned. “I learned something interesting today. On my way here, I couldn’t help but overhear someone talking to the Katsuya clan leader this morning. Two people took the scrolls. One of them was a young man dressed all in black, with a really short black bob, and some sort of stupidity about him. The other was an older man, dressed in black robes and he had long black hair. I think I know how to go about getting these guys.”

“Based on their appearance? That’s highly doubtful. And they sound shady.” Sasuke said, shifting his feet and turning to look at Shikamaru. “However, I don’t think you’re going to be able to discern someone’s thought patterns by knowing what he wears.”

Chouji stifled a laugh. He knew exactly what Shika was talking about. Shika didn’t need to know what they were wearing, but it helped. He now knew who they were chasing, based on their description. However, Shika kept it quiet. And so did Chou.

They arranged a formation, diamond shaped. Gaara was flanking the back, and Sasuke was next to Lee in the back right in front of the Kazekage. Sasuke was on the left, and Chouji was right in front of him. To Chouji’s right was Naruto. Shika was in the front, leading the way. He would’ve much rather taken Kiba to front the group, but Kiba was busy at his sister’s veterinary clinic, helping out.

He poised his team, and they set off.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**

He looked up from his place behind Shika. Chouji was looking at Shika, Naruto could see that much. But he was not quite able to see the problem. He saw Chou looking a bit sad, but he didn’t know why. Naruto looked briefly back at Sasuke, smiling worriedly before they left. But Sasuke didn’t know that Chouji was the reason why Naruto looked troubled. He spent the whole journey wondering why Naruto looked upset.

They finally came across the point where they should’ve crossed paths with their common enemy. Shika looked around for clues or hints or something to indicate that they had come across the right trail. But any evidence of travellers was nonexistent. Shika sat down in the short grass. “It’s frigging cold here. I see snow not 20 metres ahead. There is no sign they passed here yet, and I think Gaara has frostbite.”

At the last comment, they all looked at Gaara in surprise. Sure enough, the poor thing was shivering, his lips turning blue. His eyes were half shut, in a daze. His fingers were wrapped around his shoulders, and red from the cold. He had goose bumps all up his arms, and he was about to collapse from all appearances. He was not well at all. Lee gasped, and pulled the Kazekage into a tight hug. “I am sorry that I did not notice earlier! My poor Gaara!” He let go of Gaara only to pull open his pack and pull out a jacket. Taking the gourd from Gaara’s back, and wrapping the fleece around the much smaller ninja, Lee held him tightly until Gaara’s shivers subsided.

*Rustle*

“What was that?!” Naruto cried, looking back and forth, a slight note of panic in his voice. Shikamaru grinned.

“Our target.” He cried triumphantly, letting go of a small string he had in his hands, setting off a trap that no one saw him build. In the distraction of Gaara’s imminent freezing, he had a trap prepared, and no one was the wiser. “The target has been acquired - err - one of them.”

Sasuke was the closest to where the trap had fallen. He looked into the mesh net, only to see a familiar face peering rather dumbly up at him. “How in the HELL did I fall for that?” moaned Sai, furrowing his eyebrows and frowning.

“S - Sai?! Sasuke asked, looking almost as dumbfounded as Sai himself at that moment. “What in the hell ...?” Sai glared up at him as if to say ‘no answers until I’m free.’ Sasuke, however, saw the scrolls he needed in Sai’s pocket, and just pulled them out. “I don’t have to do ANYTHING for you!” He said, laughing. But as he spoke, a much taller shadow appeared behind him, holding a kunai to his neck. “Foolish little brother.” He cried, grabbing one of the scrolls. Truth be told, he only saw one of the scrolls. He was a brilliantly deadly ninja, but almost blind.
