"The mist is so thick... I can't see anything..." Sakura mumbled. The group and I were on a boat. Apparently, this was the only way to the land of the waves. Naruto was at the front of the boat. "we should be able to see the bridge soon." the boat driver told us softly.

"How does he even find his way through... This?" I asked/whispered to Sasuke who was beside me. All he did was shrug. "Don't know English very well?" I asked, annoyed. He just 'hn'ed... Really really reaaaaally irritating. I crawled toward Naruto.

"If we move along the side of the bridge, we'll be at the Country of the wave." the boat driver murmured. As the boat went a little further, the bridge appeared before our eyes. Wow...

"It's Hu-" I covered Narutos mouth. I didnt want the driver scolding him. "Naruto. Watch it. Why do you think we are hiding in the mist and not using the engine?" I asked sternly, "To avoid detection. If we get caught, we will be in trouble."

Sakura's mouth gaped opened in shocked. "Tazuna San, before we reach the pier there's something I need to ask you. The identity of the ones who are after you and the reason they are after you. Or else, we can call this mission off when you get ashore." Kakashi said calmly.

"Guess I have to tell you the whole truth. So listen to what u have to say. I mean, listen to my story." Tazuna started. Boring... Boring...

"As you said, this mission is most likely out of your job description. An extremely terrible man is after my life." Tazuna started. "An extremely terrible man?" Kakashi repeated Tazuna's words. "No, Kakashi Sensei, he meant extremely NICE!" I rolled my eyes. "Hm... Who is it?" Kakashi carried on asking.

"You should have all at least heard the name - Marine transportation Billionaire Gatoh." Tazuna Carried on. "Gatoh? The one from the Gotoh Company?" Kakashi asked again, eyes wide. "No, Kakashi-" I was cut off. "He is one of the richest man in this world." Kakashi ignored me and continued.

"Who is that? What? Nani?" Naruto asks curiously. Sadly, he ,too, was ignored. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, he is the president of a marine transportation company on the outside... But underground he uses gangs and ninjas to smuggle drugs and contraband goods. He also does nasty jobs like takeovers of other companies and countries. A year ago, he set his sights on the Country Of The Wave. He entered this country using violence and wealth as his shield and he quickly took over the islands sea traffic and transportation. On an island like the Country of The Wave, controlling the sea means ruling over the wealth, politics and people of this island. And the one thing that Gatoh is afraid of is the completion of the bridge that has been under construction for quite some time." Tazuna finished.

Bringing a hand to her chin, Sakura states, "I see. So you, as the one building the bridge, became an obstacle for him." Sasuke turned to face Naruto and Me, "So those ninja were sent by Gatoh." Naruto had this weirded out expression on his face while I was amazed at Sakura's 'act smart' act and Sasuke's deduction. Amazed of Sasukes deduction as he actually said something.

"But I don't understand. He is a dangerous man that uses Ninjas. Why did you hide that fact when you came to us?" Kakashi asks. I facepalmed and answered, "Kakashi, aren't you supposed to be the know-all?! The Country Of the Wave is a really poor country. Even the feudal lord doesnt have much money. And the people do not have much either. They don't have the money to request for an expensive B rank or above mission."
