I do not own Naruto. Masashi Kishimoto does. I make no money from this story. All other characters intended to be fictional, and any similarity between them and a real person, living or dead, is coincidental.
Chapter 5
*~~*
It was nearing evening, and the sixteen ninja were close to their destination. Though it was an easy hike for them, the tension of a mission that involved war made the walk excessively tiring.
For perhaps the tenth time, someone yawned within Kiba and Naruto's hearing ranges, causing both boys to yawn widely. While Kiba ignored the yawn, Naruto finally exploded.
"Fucking quit yawning already!" he snapped angrily, pinching himself roughly to stop another yawn.
"Ugh, be quiet, Naruto," Sakura murmured. Exasperated, she gave him a push. Naruto frowned at her, but said nothing.
"Look, Gai-sensei!" Lee suddenly whooped excitedly, still completely fresh as a result of his taijutsu training. "A gate!" Everyone glanced where the goofy green chuunin, bouncing up and down with joy, was indicating with his finger.
Sure enough, a large red arch loomed in the near horizon.
"Hm…yes, that should be Quadgram," Kakashi confirmed, staring at the distant gate.
"What are we waiting for, Kakashi?!" Gai grinned. "The sooner we get there, the sooner we can eat and rest! As we are in the prime of our lives, I challenge you to a race, my rival! The first one to arrive at those heavenly, blessed, gates will be victorious!"
Gai, upon finishing his tirade, opened his eyes to find that everyone except Kakashi had gone on without him. And, while the others had gone on ahead, Kakashi had pulled out a map and was examining it carefully.
"What do you say, Kakashi?" Gai enunciated his rival's name with emphasis, hoping to spark interest in the other jounin.
"Hm? What was that Gai?" the masked jounin mumbled distractedly, scratching his chin and examining the map.
"Oooh, Kakashi, you're so coool! I wish I could be as cool and hip as you!" Gai wept in envy.
"Riiight…" Kurenai giggled as she led the rest of the group to the gate. Asuma tried to fight down a laugh, failed, and accidentally infected the rest of the group. Soon, all but the naïve Lee and Hinata, and the cool Shino, Sasuke, and Neji were cracking up.
Gai and Kakashi caught up to the group just as the laughter finally subsided. Coincidentally, they had also reached the gate.
Like Konoha's gate, Quadgram's gate was a wide, open arch in one long wall surrounding the city. Unlike Konoha's gate, Quadgram's gate was unguarded.

(It starts getting interesting after this, I promise :D)
