Shikamaru yawned as he looked up at the sky that's already darkening. He took one last puff from the cigar before throwing it on the ground and stomping the stick with his foot. Shikamaru texted Naruto the address of their meeting place and that was two and a half hours ago and Shikamaru has been standing there for twenty minutes.

He was ready to ditch them when a car stopped in front and Naruto and Sasuke came out. By now the sky has already turned dark.

"Where's Sakura?" Shikamaru looked behind the two men but no Sakura behind.

"We have to leave her behind," Naruto said, rubbing his upper arm which Sakura punched after he suggested she should not come.

Sasuke also agreed to Naruto not to let her come with them. This kind of dealings is unpredictable to say the least. Even if Shikamaru's father say the shipment is clean, no one can really tell what will happen until they are back in the penthouse. Most of the time, it resulted to an ambush and it would be better to have someone waiting for them in the hotel who can tend on their wounds if push comes to shove.

"You guys seriously took your time getting here eh?" Shikamaru said as they started to walk towards the building across the deserted alley.

"This idiot right here drove to the wrong street four times."

"Hey Sasuke-teme! We only got lost twice and that was because you've been brooding about Sakura being left alone."

Sasuke, hearing Naruto call him such a profanity, gritted his teeth and gripped Naruto by the collar as he sent the Uzumaki a glare.

"Hey, stop it you two," Shikamaru said nonchalantly. "What about your loyal watchdog, Sasuke?"

"I already told Jugo to keep an eye on Sakura," Sasuke said, releasing Naruto a bit too harshly.

When they got in the building, there were two people waiting outside. One is a girl with hazel brown hair tied in two small buns on either side of her head and she was wearing a Chinese outfit together with black tight leggings.

"Yo! Shikamaru, it's been a while," she said, waving her hand as she blew a bubble gum.

Shikamaru nodded his head and look behind at Sasuke and Naruto. "This girl right here is Ten Ten, she's a weapons' handler."

"Hey there you two! I handle weapon shipments in South Asia."

The woman's companion is a guy with black hair cut in a bowl as he sported a green tracksuit.

"Osu, Shikamaru!" he said and Shikamaru nodded in acknowledgement towards him.

"And this guy is Lee."

Lee looked at the two before his stare settled on Sasuke.

"You must be the infamous Uchiha Sasuke," he said before nodding. Sasuke just looked back at him with a slight frown.

"Let's get inside," Ten Ten said, grabbing Lee as they walk inside the abandoned parking lot.

Naruto sneak close to Sasuke as he whispered, "Are they Chinese?"
