Uchiha Change

Chapter 8- Traps and Demons

Since Tazuna had guilt tripped Kakashi into continuing with the C turn B rank mission, they had continued to the edge of fire country. Both Naruto and Kushina had talked to Natsumi when they were on one of their breaks. Sakura and Tazuna weren't able to walk for hours on end like the others, so they needed more breaks. At the moment they were going to wave country, a friend of Tazuna's had meet them at the edge of fire country and it's been awhile since they were on land.

"What thick mist, I can't see ahead," Sakura said.

"Dead weight, the hidden mist village is near wave right?" Kushina asked. She was thankful that she studied the maps that Hiruzen have them, and the ones that they found in the study.

"Yes?"

"Then obviously waves going to have mist as well, stupid," No matter how long she'd known the pink haired girl she hated her, hell she hated the girl's mother, who had the guts to them Kushina for their team not a getting a C-rank, when it was her daughter's fault. Naruto even told her that to her face, while Kushina called the two of them dead weight.

"We should see the bridge soon," Tazuna's friend said, he was a skinny man that looked like he hadn't eaten for a while, but knowing what Tazuna told them, that was most likely true "Wave's at the base of it,"

Tazuna was sitting closet to his friend, then it went Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke since they weighted the most, Kushina and Natsumi who were average for their height, they were the shortest in their group and they were the same height. Sakura was sitting at the front, since she was underweight... both Kushina and Natsumi weighted more than her and she was taller than them.

Kushina always wondered if anyone told her that muscle weighted more than fat. If she did know, it would explain why the girl never trained or why she never ate a lot. She was a few seconds away from beating the need to eat and sleep into the pinkette's head, but that would meant that she cared if the girl lived or not.

Soon the mist cleared slightly showing a bridge that was almost one fourth or half way done. It was still massive and Natsumi wouldn't help but stare at it. Sakura however had other idea and shouted "It's huge!"

"I'm sorry about my dead weight of a team mate," Kushina said to man at the back, while getting behind Sakura and covering her mouth, so the pinkette didn't blow their cover.

"There's a reason I'm not using the motor and hiding in the mist," Tazuna's friend mattered "If Gatou finds out, we'll be in big trouble... along with Tazuna's family, so make sure she doesn't yell again,"

"Sure," Kushina said, before going close to Sakura's ear and whispering "Don't make me kill you, if you blow our cover I'll gladly make you pay with your life,"

Sakura nodded, she wanted to life and to prove to Sasuke that she was his perfect wife, but at the moment Sasuke wouldn't look at her. Ever since Natsumi started improving Sasuke started to be a little nicer to her, she was strong and pretty... Sakura thought she was prettier and smarter, but Natsumi was stronger than her.

"Kushina, do you think it'll be the same?" Naruto whispered to her sister, he never went to Uzu. He wasn't sure if Uzu was wave, but they were in the same spot... so he guessed that they changed their name. He wondered what happened to the Uzumaki and he did ask the Hokage after one of their D-ranks.

"I don't know," Kushina muttered. It's been ages since she was at Uzu, and when Hiruzen told her what happened to them, she almost started crying in his office. She didn't, but Natsumi caught her crying in her room and the girl helped her feel better. From that day one, Kushina hated Iwa and those who helped destroy her aunt's people.

"We'll be there soon," Tazuna's friend told him "Tazuna looks like we haven't been detected, but just in case we'll take the route that has vegetation. It'll make us harder to spot,"
