Kurenais POV

“Do you think our plan is working?” I asked the three guys ahead of me. The man that smelled like smoke,AKA, My lifetime crush, replied to my question.

“Don't sweat it Kurenai. It has to be, Did you see the way Ino looks at Shikamaru and how he looks at her. This plan has to be working.”

The man with the bowlcut spoke up.

“HAHA!” he boomed. “I SAW ALRIGHT! DO YOU SEE THE WAY NEJI WAS STALKING OUR BLOOMING PRINCESS OF OUR LEAF! I WOULDN'T WORRY KURENAI SENSEI!”

I rolled my eyes. The son of the white fang stayed quiet. He always was when it came to that pervy booklet of his.

As we walked further away we still continued about our secret mission. To get our students to fall in love. Thankfully, as my comrades said, the mission was going as planned. As for our lie of their “Mission”, Well, It was a lie. It was just pure luck that Tsunade decided to go along with it.

Kakashi put up his fist. Signaling to stop us and go stealth mode. I used my genjutsu to disappear into the ground. Gai took cover in the trees leaves. Asuma put out his cigarette and proceeded with Kakashi behind him.

As we got closer we strating to hear clanging. Like metal hitting metal. As we got closer everything seemed clear. There was Sasuke fighting a mysterious man with red hair. Neji and Tenten were in the background. Even though it seemed useless, not getting involved right away was a smart move. Unless Sasuke became seriously hurt then It would be smart to proceed and get involved. I guess Gai taught them better then I expected.

Sasuke was thrown on the floor and slid all the way to Tentens feet.

“Sasuke, Are you okay?” she asked while trying to get him up. He wouldn't budge but just give the mysterious man a death glare.

“No need to help him up, Cutie, He'll be staying down there for a while.” The mysterious man replied to her.

“I wasnt asking you. Who are you anyways?”

“Well, I shouldn't say, But Ill do anything for you sweetheart.” He threw a card at her. She caught it and looked at it. I got a better look at it. It was a queen of hearts. She gave him a questionable​ look.

“What is this suppose to mean?” she asked.

“Oh come on, You're hot, But you're pretty slow.” He got out a king of hearts and flicked it at Neji. Neji used his Air palm to blow it away.

“I ship you two” He laughed. “Its a shame both of you will die here. At least you'll be together huh?”

“Die?” Gai whispered.

Kakashi Spoke. “Trust us Gai, We won't let that happen. But First we must gather a little Intel, I know you've trained your students well, Have faith in them.”

Gai nodded but he still had a worried look on his face.

“What am I saying?” The mysterious man said. “I dont wanna kill ya. I just want to watch you bleed.”

“Not on my watch.” Sasuke yelled as he sprinted towards the man.

“Now now, Are we really going to do this in front of your friends?” He paused. “And your senseis?”

With a snap of his fingers, All I could see was darkness.

Sasukes POV

We heard the drop of 4 bodies. Kurenai, Asuma, Gai, And Kakashi sensei. He was probably the most skilled of them all, How could he fall under Something as simple as that. Was this guy really that powerful?..

“Now, Where were we? Oh yeah.” The card man grabbed ten cards out of nowhere. Five in each hand. He threw them at us. I dodged each one.

“Those tricks are getting boring.” I said.

“Oh yeah? Maybe you should check yourself.” He said pointing to me and my friends. I turned around. Neji was unscratched, But his shirt had a few cuts in it. Tentens Face had a big scratch on it, It looked like Irukas, But I know it wont leave a scar unless she picks at it. Then I felt it. The warm blood trickled down my cheek. My own blood. I touched my face. Tiny scratches were all over my face. Each time I talked or made an expression it felt like my whole face was on fire.I wasn't gonna let this one slide. It ends here

“Im tired of this. Im ending you right now!” I cursed. I put my left arm over my right as If I was stretching out my right arm. I was activating my chidori. Lighting was being charged into my hand. The man with the red hair had a scared look on his face.

“N-not If I get you first!” He yelled. He grabbed A whole deck of cards and starting throwing them at me. I could feel each card hit my chest and stay there. I jumped and yelled as loud as I could.

“CHIDORI!”

I closed my eyes, Expecting to feel blood everywhere, but surprisingly I didnt feel one spec of blood on my face other then my own.When I opened my eyes, my whole hand was in his body. He gave me a surprised look. Like he didnt Expect to be stabbed with my own fist.

“How does it feel now?” I challenged.

He frowned. Then he laughed like a Maniac. He kept laughing.

“Shut up!” I yelled. I punched him in the face with my other hand.

He still laughed in my face. He was mocking me.

“I SAID SHUT UP!” I bellowed. I kept punching him until my left arm hurt.

“Just wait, Ill get you.”He said while giving me a death glare. He spat blood into my face. I wiped it of using my left arm but only made it worse since I already had his blood on both of my arms. The man slowly turned his head towards Tenten.

“I never did Awnser your question. My name is Hisoka, Master of cards, And Hunting down people.Hehe, As pretty as yourself too.” He winked at her. Neji clenched his fists until they were white. Tenten rolled her eyes then looked down at the ground. He then looked at me.

“As for you,It feels amazing,I never expected to get hit with something like that, But we arent done yet.” He countered. I think he was talking about my question earlier.

He Disappeared. Better yet. He became a pile of cards. Some kind of clone jutsu? What the hell?

“Dammit Neji, WHERE IS HE?” I hissed.

“Impressive” He muttered.

“Don't compliment the enemy!” I Interuped.

“Let me finish.” He paused. “It's impressive because I cant detect him at all. Hes about 18 kilometers away from his clone. Its almost as good as Narutos clone jutsu. And His clone can get hurt without disappearing. Now that Im explaing it. We may have a very, very difficult opponent. Not to mention his clone was able to take out our senseis.” As he continued explaing I looked over to where our senseis dropped. Wait. They were gone?! Did they wake up when He disappeared and just left?! What kind of senseis are they?!

I Interuped Neji. “Hey, They're gone” I said pointing at the spot where our senseis fell. He looked around for them with his byakugan.

“Hm. They're gone as well.” He said

“Well at least we know who were dealing with.” I said, Trying to calm myself down. But the truth was, I was mad, I let the guy who hurt Sakura slip out of my hands. It was unacceptable.

I won't let it happen again.

Narutos POV

“Do you have a 7?” Kiba asked Hinata. We were all waiting for the team to come back, Its been awhile and I'm Starting to get worried about Sasuke,Neji, and Tenten. To pass time, Me,Kiba, Hinata, and Lee were playing Goldfish. Ino and Shikamaru were playing Shogi. Sakura was still resting in her room. Probably reading a book or something. Shino was...well being shino, and Choji was eating of course. Even after he had that bad stomach ache, he still eats.

Hinata sighed. “Nope”

Kiba sighed even louder and took a card.

“Do you have a King Naruto?” Asked Lee.

“HAHA! DATTEBAYO!” That was my final card.

“C-Congratulations Naruto-kun!” Hinata Patted me on the back.

“Thanks Hinata! You're so supportive” I hugged her, She was warm....Really warm....Too warm. I backed up to find out why she was so warm. She had a fever!

“Oh no, Hinata-chan you're sick!”

“N-n-no Naruto!” She panicked.

We were Interuped by the sound of the door crashing open. Neji had Sasukes arm over his shoulder, Giving him balance...from so many cuts. How many cuts? Lets see....1,2,3,4....Uh 5....It was more then 50 Ill say that. And I was only looking at his face. There were...cards?... sticking out of his chest. Neji was unscratched but His shirt looked like it was mauled by a bear, revealing a lot of his skin. Tenten walked in and it looked like her whole face hurt. She looked like Iruka, But the cut didnt look that deep.

“What happened?” Lee asked. He was clearly worried for both of his comrades.

“We were ambushed by the attacker. His name is Hisoka. Judging by his moves, He was either a rogue jounin shinobi, or he was just really good at card tricks.” She joked.

“Be careful Tenten, Don't try to laugh or you'll probably become The female version of Iruka.” If she was allowed to Joke, So was I!

She looked at me and rolled her eyes. I looked up at the roof but saw nothing.
“Whats up there?” I joked

“This is no time to joke you too!” Sakura said. She must of heard the commotion.

“Sorry” We both said at the same time. She nodded and made her way towards Sasuke.

“Neji go get me a towel...and then change your clothes.” Sakura bossed. Great, when she was in a bad mood, she'd always be bossy and nag everyone to death.

Neji nodded his head and got a towel, Then he left in his room.

“T-Tenten, Let me see your wound.” Hinata stuttered.

“Im fine Hinata, Ill just put a bandage around it.” Tenten Shrugged off.

“But Tenten-”

“I said I'm Fine Hinata.” she snapped.

“Hey you don't have to be mean, Shes Trying to help you.” I spoke up. No one yells at Hinata for a dumb reason.
“Naruto, stop butting in, Can't I just take care of myself?” Tenten spat.

“Dont get mad at me just cause you can't take care of yourself!” I spat back. I was playing with fire and I was gonna get burned... Or more like slapped. Getting slap is kinda like a burn if its hard enough. After Tenten slapped me she stormed off into the bathroom to take care of her scar.

“Shes like that when she thinks she didnt do anything, Don't blame yourselves” Lee said to both me and Hinata.

“I understand what thats like...” Hinata whispered. I put my arm on her shoulder. She looked at me with her pearly eyes. I smiled, They were so shiny. She smiled back and went back to having a staring contest with the floor.

While we were arguing, I guess Sakura was using her Medical ninjutsu to heal Sasukes wounds. Most of his bleeding scratches were gone. The cards in his chest were gone as well, and So was his shirt. Sakura kept blushing and Sasuke kept trying to look into her eyes, Talk about awkward.

More like gross.

“We've had a long day. Lets all get some rest.” Shikamaru acknowledged.
Everyone nodded and headed to their bedroom. Me and Hinata shared the bed but she preferred to stay on the far side. I dont know why, Dont we need to stay warm in this type of weather. I didnt want to be weird and question her why so I just let it be.

“Goodnight Hinata!” I broke the silence

“Hehe, Goodnight Naruto” She responded.

Hisokas POV

Going back to the boss and telling him you failed is like going to the doctors with your mom and the doctor asking if you're sexually active and you have no other choice but to say yes.

Just look at what happened to my teammate. She was scolded at for messing up that rattlesnake technique. He let me off the hook mainly because He knows I suck at traps, But in order to pay for it I had to at least bring back one of our targets. And here I am. With no target.
“So, Hisoka, Where are the targets?”

“About that boss, I have....failed you.” I bowed my head. Only to get kicked in the face. My teammate laughed at me. I wanted to punch that little Idiot so bad. There were only 3 of us. I was the “Master of cards”, I was trained under the boss, I was never a Ninja. Nor was my teammate, who was also trained under the boss. She was a master of snakes. Like that Orochimaru guy. I heard Sasuke posses the same powers as him, But I don't believe it. He could barely take out my clone. Our boss was a ninja though, But he went rogue years ago. A loooong time ago.

“Im very... Disappointed in you.” He spoke softly. “But rest now Hisoka, Let your teammate show you how it's done....fool.” He spat at me. I wiped the spit off.

Yeah right...She couldn't tie a knot even if she tried.

But she was powerful. Psh maybe...just maybe

She can get one of those bastards.
