Will we be happy, Sasuke?

Us

Hinata: Arata... listen to me. Your father had a mission, same goes to me. I'm sorry, but I have to send you back at grandpa's ok?

Arata: No mom. Please don't. Grandpa Hiashi dislike me. Remember the last time I was there?

Hinata: Don't worry. Aunt Hanabi got your back, plus.. I don't think he hates you anymore. Trust me alright?

Arata: It's not like I have any other choice right?

Hinata change to her mission gear, pack some clothes for Arata before they both head to Hinata home.

At the Hyuga Residence

Hinata spotted Neiji outside the house, picking up the pace, she greeted Neiji and ask if her family are home.

Yes they are inside training. Is there any trouble Hinata? Neiji was concerned since she came here with the kid. Please come in, Neiji invited them.

Neiji lead them to the backyard where Hanabi is having a spar with their father. Couldn't hold his excitement, Arata awe in amazement. Upon hearing the kid, the 2 Hyuga stop and walk towards them.

Hinata bow to them. Father I'm sorry but I have a favor to ask. Hinata look deep into Hiashi eyes. Please let Arata stay here, both Sasuke and I were given mission. No one is available to look after him. Me and my team is required to report to the Hokage right now.

Leave him. This will be a good time to see how strong my grandchild is. Said Hiashi smiling, his eyes looking at Arata.
Thank you so much father. Arata, be a good child ok. Listen to your elders. I love you. Hinata kneels down, patting him on the head.

Hinata stands up, bidding them farewell and rush to their meet point.

After some time....

Hey guys, sorry I'm late. Hinata waves to her teammates.

Nah, it's fine. Come on let's go. Akamaru bark as if agreeing with him. With that, Team 8 walk through the gates entering the Hokage building. Upon their arrival, they were greeted by the current Hokage, Kakashi and 2 other shinobi. Naruto? Sasuke? Hinata was not feeling good about this situation.

Kiba: oh Naruto, Sasuke, why are you guys still here?

Sasuke: nice to see you too Kiba.

Naruto: Kakashi told us to wait for the rest of the team. Are you guys coming with us?

Kakashi: Team 8, nice to meet all of you. Now, let's get down to business. Not so far from Konoha, there are a few remote villages in the forest. I will need you to capture 4 bandits from different area. Apparently, these bandits are working together and are constantly moving.

Kakashi flips the paper to examine the next page..

And guys.. don't underestimate these bandits. There are reason why the head villagers confide in us. Be careful and get going. The team of 5 people move out after receiving the instructions. They move from roof to roof, Naruto, Shino and Kiba are at the front. Akamaru is accompanying Hinata in the middle, while Sasuke watching out at the back.

After some time, the team are now out of Konoha territory and and are out jumping from tree to tree. Sasuke pick up his pace to match Hinata and whispers to her.. "Where's Arata?"

"He's at grandpa, don't worry." Hinata gave a short answer and went silent. Still remembering the last night incident, Hinata feels embarrassed around Sasuke. "S-Sasuke-kun.. I- I am sorry about last night. I... I didn't mean to-..." Hinata wasn't able to finish her sentence when Sasuke suddenly cut in.

Forget it he said. Sasuke slow down his pace and falls back to his original position. Ahead, Shino call out to everyone, asking if anyone needed rest. Naruto immediately reply, "Let's have a short break, I think we are near. Who knows what we might face later at the village." No one object to the proposal and so they rest.

While resting, Naruto told everyone to gather around to discuss on how they should take down the bandits. Sasuke suggest that they spilt into 2 teams since their enemies are located at different places. Everyone agrees, taking turns speaking up their thoughts.

After some time....

Well then it's settled, so who will be going with me? Ask the blonde hair guy, grinning towards his comrades. Akamaru and me volunteer! Hinata, Shino and Sasuke will be a team then.
Team Naruto will move forward to North, while the other team heading NorthEast. Before going their separate ways, they bid goodbye and promise to meet up at the same place when they succeeded their mission.
