Sasuke: Sharingan are red
                  My chidori is blue
                  Get out of my face
                  I can't stand you
                  Shut up now
                  Or prepare to die
                  Don't worry
                  You get to say bye
                  When you see the life
                  In death's eye

Crew:.................

Me: Sasuke when you said you wanted to read us a poem you wrote, I don't think 'poem' was the right word to choose.

Chouji: That was more of a death sentence.

Sasuke: I had my reasons.

Sarada: *tugs on Sasuke's sleeve* Papa, you said we could play princess dollies today.

Me: *whispers to Ino* She completely killed the poem's mood.

Ino: *nods in agreement*

Sasuke: Okay sweetie, I'll be right there. *whispers to Sarada* Save me the pink tiara.

Sarada: Okay papa. *leaves the room*

Naruto: *snickers* Princess dollies. Save me the pink tiara. Sasuke, you are a different person when it comes to playing with Sarada.

Sasuke: Is that a problem?

Naruto: A problem enough to take you to the asylum.

Me: Anyway. *leaves to start the chapter*

SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING LAST WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!! I don't deserve forgiveness. I don't own Naruto, just the plot and OCs, I hope you enjoy my efforts, vote, comment, and let's get right to the chapter.

Sasuke and Sakura: JUST START THE CHAPTER ALREADY!!!!!!

Me: *crouches in fear and speaks* I will I'm so sorry!

To be new or not be new?

That is the question the emo Sasuke Uchiha ponders on until this day still, concerning his normal personality or way of acting when in atmosphere or dialogue with his pink haired comrade and old teammate. Being cold and non caring, a lie mostly to what he felt on the inside.

If there was one thing that his old teammates had taught him to pull off without having any mischievous, or bad intentions, or hiding any anger nor hate, was smile. And no, not a smile like Sai's were you just curve your lips and show emotions when on the inside those emotions are just drop-dead fake. A smile were you actually show and feel fully and essential emotions. A smile of that of someone who has been healed from their past. And by 'his old teammates had taught him to pull off' he meant that they made him smile, he was able to learn to smile on his own because of his team and teammates who were there for him.

And fortunate for this emo actor of a spy, he was able to pull of a couple of those smiles at the gala whenever he succeeded (yet those were mostly mischievous smiles) or his parter did (those were real).

He did also smile at the stunningly, heavenly, beautiful sight of his teammate in her outfit for that party. So he found a way to be new on his personality, to answer his Shakespearean question.

At the moment they were researching Ōtsutsuki Offices, and their CEO Toneri Ōtsutsuki. They found that Toneri was a straight A student in school, and in collage a few Bs. He inherited money from his grandfather, the astronaut that hid those files for the Project Celestial Documents Kakashi had told them of the day before they departed. After studying Business Management and a few side classes on Astronomy in collage, he founded his company, Ōtsutsuki Offices. People have given good comments on the company, saying they were very trustable and/or serious about their duties. Toneri was also described as a man of his word, and, although a little pushy, manages to get the job done.

After giving the newly learned information to Shikamaru, he told us that Naruto and Hinata did the same and found, other than what Sasuke and Sakura already learned, that Toneri had made a few trips to Iraq and Israel recently, he only got back on Monday, claiming it was for dealing purposes. They knew this from the connections Konohagakure Secret Agency with both Mossad and Sunagakure Secret Agency, which are both located in Israel and Iraq; they had done an investigation on Toneri, since he was almost shot by a terrorist he stumbled upon. Mossad made the investigation and Sunagakure filed it.

The fact that he had taken side classes on Astronomy in collage made us all wonder.

What if Toneri knew of Project Celestial Documents even back then in collage?

Has he been planing this ever since?

How long has it been going without any of the Agencies having the slightest realization?

How dangerous is Toneri exactly?

Why did he go to Iraq and Israel?

Could it really have been for dealing purposes, as he stated?

Was the terrorist shooting a coincidence?

Rule #6: Coincidences aren't likely.

Too many questions, too little answers. Theories upon theories rising to the surface, all of them still doubtful of them being true. Although having enough probabilities, there were still facts apposing those theories.

Sasuke's POV:
Location: La Barca Hotel; Room #H94
Time: 5:29 pm

It's already evening. We haven't eaten lunch, last we ate was breakfast at 8:30. I was in the desk next to the bed, researching on my computer for any trace of evidence that could help us answer our questions, so far not much has been found.

I was lacking any good ideas coming to my brain over how hungry I was. Sakura and I might go down and get food or maybe she'll cook herself. Either way I'm just starving.

This Toneri guy is really hard to figure out, maybe that's why this mission was labeled S-ranked, it's the hardest tips of mission. A mission like this would normally be very long and very complex to say the least. If this were a simple C-ranked mission, we would be sitting our asses on our desks doing paperwork or having meetings if a mission went wrong.

I'm sure my group over at the agency have everything under control. If you're under my command you'd feel as if you'd just volunteered to join the marine corps. Our English teacher in elementary is a marine (I'd say 'used to be a marine', but once a marine, always a marine), and he'd sometimes get distracted in a huge conversation, we'd sometimes start talking about the story that were reading in the class, Riki-Tiki Tavi, and then we'd end up talking about the Second World War and The Great Devastation. We used to believe he would be a better Social Studies teacher than an English teacher, but he was great at both. He'd also talk of his marine life and I'd learn a thing or two about him. Enough to know how to turn the Interrogation Spies Group into The Marine Boot Camp.

~Time Skip; 38 Minutes Later~

"This. Is–"

"Troublesome?," our lazy comrade, Shikamaru, said through the microphone, apparently he heard me complaining.

"I was going to say 'outrageous', but 'troublesome' works fine as well. Why did you even talk?," I responded, in a somewhat annoyed tone. This has been going on since we got here, Shikamaru would normally interrupt whenever he desires, bringing news or he's just telling Sakura to pipe down whenever she screams of frustration and he's trying to take a nap. He wasn't interrupting as much today, so I assumed he'd finally decided to retire, but I guess I was clearly mistaken.

"Anything new?," he asked, completely ignoring answering my question directly, I can only believe he wanted to see if we had found something.

"Not really, I can't think straight over an empty stomach, so for me to find anything in this state would be labeled a miracle at the first second, Sakura's taking a break, I guess her idea of a 'break' is cooking," I unfortunately said. At least I'd get some food. Talk about FINALLY!

"Ugh, well I hope Hinata can figure something out when she goes to that appointment with Toneri himself she was able to get signed up for at the gala yesterday. I'm impressed she was able to do it," Shikamaru said, I had heard of Hinata's successful achievement this morning. Out of the six of us, I was the least surprised.

"Hn, I wasn't too in shock, you shouldn't really think the least of Hinata, she's of the Hyūga clan's main branch family. Before Itachi massacred our clan, the Uchiha and Hyūga used to have many meetings and arrangements, most to which both Hinata and I assisted. We'd talk every now and then, but we weren't best friends. She always had a way of dialoguing and convincing people, at least from what I could observe. She was allowed to be the leader of the Hand-To-Hand Combat Spies after Neji Hyūga died, its hard to take the position of a dear family who lost his life in the field of battle right in front of your eyes, and allowed to assist this S-ranked mission for a reason, she's stronger than we think, haven't any of you thought about that? Sakura I know you're behind me and I know Naruto's been listening to this conversation once you mentioned Hinata, Shikamaru. If you're still here Naruto, I heard the click of your microphone connecting to mine. And Sakura, I heard your footsteps coming here," even if I couldn't see any of them or the reactions on their faces, it was easy to know that they all had shocked expressions on their faces from the silence. Sakura was most likely still in the doorway, shocked I knew of her presence; Naruto was without a doubt fuly shocked and flustered, that idiot; Shikamaru certainty surprised and mad at himself for not realizing this before.

"Okay I'm out!", I heard the blond ramen loving Naruto's  voice say before there was another click, signaling he disconnected the microphones, to which I amusingly chuckled at.

"I guess I am too," this time it was Shikamaru who said his farewell before leaving for who knows how long until his next interruption.

It was now only me and Sakura, who made her way over to me, her steps were slow, maybe scared or cautious, for what I was fully unaware of. I wasn't planning on harming her, I'd never want to do that.

"Dinners ready, you going to eat now?," she asked, I couldn't recognize the tone she was using, but I was hungry so I could only say yes.

We mostly eat in silence, but not an awkward one, it was comforting. The food was good, I had to hand it to Sakura, I noticed she added a few tomatoes to the side. I looked at them wondering how she would have thought of adding them to the plate.

"I knew they were your favorite, so I added them to the recipe too, hope you enjoy," she said, giving me a warm smile before starting her foo. Her smile was contagious, in a good way.

I smiled and said "Thank you for the meal," I began to eat.

After a while I noticed my phone started ringing. Although it troubled me to find out who could have been calling, I went to pick it up. But before I could, I didn't even see who it was, it dawned to my, why didn't I think of this sooner?

Thank you whoever called me.

"S-Sasuke?," I heard Sakura ask, but I had no time to answer, I was going to my computer to check something.

I sat on my desk chair tipping, I heard Sakura follow, she must be curious as to why I left like that. "What are you doing? You just straight up left your phone ringing. It was Orochimaru calling if you didn't know," I heard her ask.

"Checking Toneri's cellphone records, it was only when Orochimaru called that it dawned to me," when I looked behind me, Sakura seemed shocked. I guess she didn't think of it either.

"Huh, odd," I mumbled suspiciously, catching Sakura's attention. "What is it?," she asked, moving her head over my shoulder so she can see better.

"Toneri's made several calls to this number in the past month. He made three calls two weeks ago, two in Israel, five in Iraq, two still in Iraq but they were last Saturday, the day we got assigned to this mission, and two more yesterday, at the gala. Fourteen in total," I said lowly, but audible enough for Sakura to understand.

"Can you track the cellphone ID?," she asked still looking at the screen, most likely thinking.

"I could but it's an old phone, probably not very used, so it'll take a while, and if it's in Iraq, Israel, in the desert, underground, in the middle of a forest, in the sky, or out at sea, it will take a few hours, or days," I unfortunately had to say, it was our best lead so far, but it came at a cost, and Sakura wasn't the best at patience.

I just noticed that her forehead was lying on my shoulder, her neck must have gotten tired and she just lied it down. Oddly enough, I would have immediately told her to get off, but I didn't. My shoulder felt warm, I was wearing a jacket so I didn't feel her chin bone, all I felt was the warmth of her presence, I didn't want it to leave, I didn't want her to leave.

Why?
