Two Jonin and an Investigation

23 Shinobi Get Stuck in an Over-sized Brick and One Goes Missing

Be warned: Sai/Ino, Ino/Sakura, Hinata/Naruto. Also, stay safe, people! And don't freak out too much. Leave some toilet paper for the rest of us, too. Sorry I haven't been updating, but I promise I'll get back on schedule. For those of you who stayed to count, the title isn't including Akamaru because he's a dog, not really a shinobi (I do acknowledge him as any other ninja dog thing, though).

"Tenten, wake up." Neji poked Tenten in the shoulder. Hungover and half-dead Tenten. Her brain was currently lagging like a 2005 Dell computer, but she did eventually recognize Neji's voice.

"Wha- Neji? What're you doing here?" Neji sighed.

"Do you remember anything at all about last night?" Tenten shook her head and got up. They weren't in Anko's house or anything. It was more like a big cement room. The others (I'm talking everyone) were there.

"What's going on? Where are we?"

"I don't know. I decided to wake you up first, so everyone is still sleeping." Tenten got up and rubbed her eyes. Sleeping bodies scattered across the cold cement floor, breathing. They were fine. "Hey, I did a head count earlier..."

"We're all here, right?"

"Shino's missing." 

"What do you mean he's missing?"

"All the Jonin and their students, we're all here except for Shino. But we don't have time for this, we have to wake everyone up." Tenten nodded and soon everyone was half-dead and groaning for coffee. But that's good. Because at least they're alive.

"Hey, where's Shino?" Kurenai asked.

"Don't freak out, Kurenai Sensei, but Shino's missing," Tenten said, observing as Neji checked everyone's pulses and chakra flow.

"You don't know where he went?" Tenten shook her head.

"But right now we need to focus on getting out of here." Kurenai nodded slowly and regrouped with the rest of the group. 

"Man, I'm hungry," Naruto said, rubbing his belly. Yamato grew him an apple, but now of course everyone wanted one. His mistake.

"Tenzo, I forgot you can do that," Kakashi chuckled. "So anyways, I was craving some mikan." Tenzo chuckled and shook his head. Mikan for everyone, then. After breakfast they started thinking up ways to get out of here.

Because if they didn't, they'd die.

"So none of us remember any of yesterday after we all had breakfast, right?" Everyone nodded, and Anko continued. "No chakra nearby, no cracks in the walls, we just have to break through."

"If we make one wrong move, we could all suffocate. No more fooling around. So, who here feels hungover, sick, injured, or too scared to go through with this?" Kakashi said, putting his hands on his hips. "No one? Good." The only way they could really do it was to drill a tiny hole in the roof and continue from there. It doesn't sound dangerous, but the roof could cave.

The drill team consisted of Yamato, Kiba, Akamaru, Kakashi, Shikamaru, Asuma, and Anko.

The medic team consisted of Ino and Sakura.

The "I'll help you guys if I can but other than that I can only offer moral support" team consisted of Hinata, Naruto, Neji, Tenten, Choji, Rock Lee, Genma, Hayate, Izumo, Gai, Sai, Kurenai, Kotetsu, Iruka, and Raido.

Kami, Shino was still missing.

"We must've been drugged if none of us can remember."

"It had to have been a group of shinobi, and a strong one if we couldn't fight them off."
