)(WARNING! Very long post!)(
I was having a great dream this morning. I was recalling all those times I had as a Gennin, recalling my good friends, and old team mates. Hinata, Kiba, being trained under Kurenai. I had loved those times, especially being befriended by Kiba and Hinata. I felt a sudden shaking, watching my dream rumble, and waking up to see I was just being woken.
I saw my lovely wife Amisuki leaning over me, smiling as I woke up. "Come on Shino, you have to get Shikamaru." I sat up, putting on my glasses and preparing a coat from my closet, after putting on my clothes I had slipped on my sandals. I looked at Amisuki who seemed troubled by something, so I asked. "Amiksuki?" She stopped me and stood up. "I just don't want you getting hurt, who knows what you'll end up doing with those Gennin." I hug her, and kiss her walking towards the downstairs "Don't worry." I walk outside and down the street slightly. "I'll be fine."
I walk down the streets of Konoha, which oddly seem empty today, no doubt parents out seeing who their children will be trained by. I brushed off the thought, no use worrying about it now, and continue to walk towards Shikamaru's. I slowed down, but I still made it there before he had even attempted to wake up.
Temari greeted me in the front of the house " 'Morning Shino. " I nod as I walk inside and sit down at their table. "Obviously he isn't awake yet."She said as she sat across from me, with what seemed like some distain. "Something troubling you?" She snapped out of it, and smiled slightly "actually I was hoping to talk Amisuki, but you can tell her. There's a house two doors down from here that you can buy." I was taken by surprise this. "Well that solves my house issue." I heard a noise from upstairs, I looked up and when I looked down Temari was heading upstairs "I'll get him."
I sit paitiently now, I can hear an occasional murmur but do not allow bugs upstairs to see what is going on, I hear a small crash, but ignore it, nothing could be wrong. I hear more murmur's from the upstairs and suddenly as huge explosion sound, I look out the front window to see Shikamaru surounded by bits of the wall. I walk outside to see Temari smiling and waving with her fan in one hand behind her back. I look at Shikamaru who seems very dazed and confused.
I lean down to help up Shikamaru, and says something to me. "just wanted a normal life you know" I nod brushing his thoughts off, who knows what he did this time. Suddenly as Shikamaru stood on his own, Kakashi Landed infront of us. "Boys, big news for you two." We look at each other, Shikamaru yawning while doing so. "Yep." Kakashi said as he smiled "Now follow me boys." He lept off towards Hokage mountain. I raised an eye brow, but tugged on Shikamaru's arm, then leaping after Kakashi.
I had seen Kakashi slip into the office of the feudal lords, this seemed important but were Shikamaru and myself involved? I landed and waited for Shikamaru, who landed seconds after me. Once he did we proceeded to walk into the council office. My hands in my pockets, his behind his head. When we were inside the coucil office, we noticed all the jounin had been gathered. We looked confused as Kakashi directed us to the middle in front on Hokage Tsunade.
Now the opposite side opened, and Naruto walked in to stand next to me. The three of us now faced the lords and Hokage Tsunade, awaiting whatever news we were going to hear. Hokage Tsunade spoke to us finally, after all of us had gotten nervous. "Welcome, I'm glad you three could make, especially you Naruto." Naruto gave her a bit of a look but Shikamaru and myself ignored this. "This is some of the biggest news in Konoha In some time." We all looked confused now. 'What is she getting at?' "I'm here to tell you, you three all now Sannin, highest rank other than Hokage in Konoha." I was taken aback by this, I could not have even guessed this is what she was going to tell us, Even Shikamaru woke up for this news.
I stood still, taking in this news, while some of the other Jounin erupted in anger. "This isn;t fair!" "I'm more powerful than those three!" I could hear yell after yell, but I awaited and explanation. "Calm youself!" Tsunade had gotten angry and quieted the room. "I have chosen these three for reasons. Damn good ones too, now shut up."The room had stopped all slight noise now, and she addressed us. "I have no need to explain myself to the entire rank of Jounin as a whole, but I know that you three know why you have been promoted to such a high rank." She sat down in her position.
I had calmed down by now, and I took this news with great pride, and some slight reluctance, I had no demon's to call on like the previous Sannin, or Naruto, but I suppose my knowledge of enemy movement, and human psychy provided me with enough ability to outwit nearly anyone. Perhaps this is Why Shikamaru was too, but there must have been more behind each of us. No one was as eccstatic as Naruto though.
She dismissed everyone from the council office except the three of us now. "You all have missions imediately." I was not surprised by this, though Naruto seemed to be. "We have information that Akatsuki is picking up activity again, looking for more of the Demon barer's like Naruto and Gaara." I looked at Shikamaru and he nodded toward me, we had heard of this, but were not sure if it was true. "You must each go to a different village to find these Demon Barer's." She slid a piece of paper towards us.
It was a map, indicating who was to go where. I looked at it, I was to head for Mist, to find the Barer of The Tiger Demon. 'This is an unexpected turn of events, but I will take this.' Shikamaru was headed for Rain to find the barer of The Wolf Demon and Naruto was to head for Sand To Find Gaara.
We all stepped back and nodded. "I'll find him old lady Tsunade!!" Naruto yelled as he lept out the side he came in. Hokage Tsunade's eye was slightly twitching from Naruto's comment. "I will find this barer in Mist Hokage Tsunade." I said as I bowed and started to leave. 'I am a Sannin now...'
I returned home now, I had gotten there as quickly as possible. I walked in, but no one was there, I headed upstairs to find Amisuki meditating in the serenity room. I walked in and stood behind her "So?" She asked me. I let a few bugs out to crawl on her, it would cheer her up a little for the news I would tell her now. "I have no Gennin..." She looked surprised, but happy with the bugs "No Gennin? Why?" I looked down "I am a Sannin now, I have a mission I must take too, I have to leave tomorrow." She looked for troubled by this and stood up "Sannin? Why?" I looked away and spoke again, "I do not know for sure, but I will head for mist in the morning. Please, don't worry about me."
She hugged me and I returned the embrace. "I must, it is my duty now." She nodded but did not let me go. We stood for perhaps a few minutes, when she pulled away. "Temari told me about the house." She said while her eyes were almost watering up. I nodded and smiled. "I'll buy it tomorrow." She said walking past me to our room. I followed her, wondering what she was doing. I walked in and raised an eyebrow. "Look, I know it's not late, but I want you to sleep now. The more rest you have, the more energy you will have." She patted the spot next to her on the bed. "I'm also giving you some of these food pills, in case you need some help."
I took off my coat and put it away, I had packed my things I would need, a small backpack of some food and a map. I took off my glasses and head band and placed them together upon the stand next to the bed. "Sleep well Shino." She kissed me and left the room. I had trouble sleeping though, It wasn't the time, I could sleep fine now. It was the mission, 'How could I find a Demon barer in a town in which I know no one?' Eventually, I fell asleep. I would have to wake very early to start out for Mist. I would have to grab more Kunai knives as well, Mist is a dangerous village...
)(Wow, long eh? Yeah, I changed the story a little, but still I think it's good. What about you?)(
