Rebirth Of The Namikaze

Chapter 9

Recap-
Suddenly, a group appeared in front of Sasuke as he immediately jumped away.

Sasuke landed on a tree branch as he observed the four. They all had them musical notes on their hitai-ates. These were subordinates of Orochimaru.

"What do you want?" Sasuke demanded as they just talked amongst themselves. "Sakon. Knock him out and then we can bring him to Orochimaru-sama." The red haired female said.

"Fine." The boy, now known as Sakon said. "Witness the power of the Cursed Seal, Uchiha!" Sakon exclaimed as he rushed towards Sasuke. Sasuke tried to block him, but he got blasted away instead.

'What strength!' Sasuke exclaimed mentally as he regained his footing and landed gracefully on a tree branch. Sasuke then rushed to Sakon, activating his sharingan.

Sakon smirked as the next few minutes was Sasuke getting pushed around by the boy.

Now, we see Sasuke on the edge of Konoha about to leave. "Sasuke-kun! Please! Don't leave!" Sakura exclaimed as Sasuke turned around to look at his pink-haired teammate.

"Please. We haven't even gotten to celebrate Naruto's promotion to Jōnin." Sakura pleaded as Sasuke flinched in anger. 'That idiot got promoted to Jōnin.' Sasuke thought as be suddenly appeared behind Sakura and hit her in her nape, effectively knocking her out.

The Uchiha then walked away from the village.

Tomorrow-
Security guards found Sakura asleep on a bench and looked at each other before going to wake her up. One of them tapped her as she immediately spring up.

"Sasuke-kun!" Exclaimed the pink-haired genin as the two security guards looked at each other. Sakura was then taken to the Hokage where she explained the whole situation.

So right now, Naruto, Shikamaru, Neji, Kiba and Chōji. "Naruto. As your first Jōnin mission. Lead this team and retrieve Uchiha Sasuke. This is a high A-rank, bordering S-rank. All of you are to listen to Naruto's exact orders." Tsunade said as Naruto nodded and gave his team the orders.

The team then went to the border of Konoha. "Okay guys. Keep formation A. I believe this formation is most suitable. Kiba, you're at the front with Akamaru, you two will be in front. With your enhanced smell, you can track Sasuke's scent." Naruto said as Kiba nodded with a determined smirk.

"Shika, you follow behind Kiba, this gives you a chance to provide orders if needed and it gives you a chance to look forward with a wider range than Kiba and Akamaru. I'll be behind Shika, with my sensing and shadow clones, I can react faster than any of you to threats from either side." Naruto ordered.

"Chōji, you, physically, are the strongest of us all, you being behind me will give you the chance to deliver a final blow to any suprise attacks coming our way and you'll be protected by Neji, who's at the rear. Neji, with your Byakugan, you can watch our back and any other blind spots if I can't sense them." Naruto explained as everyone got into position.

Suddenly, they heard something behind them. "Naruto! Please. Let me come with." Sakura pleaded. "No Sakura. Your attempts to convince Sasuke to stay failed already. You'll only jeopardise the mission. Stay here." Naruto said coldly as Sakura flinched.

"We don't need any distractions." Naruto said. "Wait! Just promise me one thing Naruto." Sakura pleaded as Naruto looked at her. "Please. Bring back Sasuke. This is a once in a lifetime promise." Sakura said as tears strolled down her face. "I'll try my best to bring Sasuke back, but if he becomes a major threat to the village, I'll have to kill him. I hope you understand." Naruto said as Sakura nodded.
