章 30: Chapter 30
Last Time:
She had to get at the very least some notion of sleep if this mission was going to go well
Now:
~ Outskirts of Suna Dessert – 6:00 PM ~
Naruto groaned as he woke up. He quietly put his Kevlar vest back on and put his boots on. '6:00 PM, almost show time.' He thought as he stepped out of his tent to see Yugito keeping watch. He headed to a small fire and took out a small scroll from his vest labeled "Rations". "You can go do whatever you need to do Yugito-chan. I'll finish keeping watch." Naruto told the blonde. She nodded and quickly disappeared in a shunshin. Naruto shrugged as he unsealed large strips of marinated meat from the scroll.
"What are you doing?" A soft voice from behind him asked. He turned to see Samui taking down her tent and fully dressed. "Making some breakfast…or lunch depending on what time you woke up." Naruto replied "If you need to get anything done, you might want to do it now while there's still time. After we eat, we won't have the luxury of stopping." Naruto told her. Samui nodded and left.
Naruto went and woke up the sleeping Anbu and informed them that if they had any personal business, they would want to get it done before breakfast. The Anbu nodded and they both left, leaving Naruto alone in the clearing. Naruto quickly went back to the fire and unsealed a large pan from his "Rations" scroll. He let the pan heat up and put the strips of meat to cook. 'I really hope shit doesn't go south..' Naruto thought as he cooked the meal.
~ Time Skip – Lunch ~
Everyone was seated around the fire with a plate in their hands eating as Naruto unraveled a map of a bird's eye view of Suna. "Alright.. Naruto said as he looked around, only to see Samui missing. "Has anyone seen Samui?" Naruto asked, but everyone shrugged. "I better try to get her back here before we begin.." Naruto said as he pulled out his messenger and sent her a text asking where she was. Naruto sat and waited for a response with a plate of food in hand.
~ With Samui – In Forest ~
Samui looked at the team with a sly smile on her face. She had been waiting for half an hour for this moment. Her phone quietly vibrated in her pocket and she saw the text from Naruto. "Where are you? Team meeting about to start." Samui quietly read. She smirked and wrote "On my way back." Then she headed towards the group.
~ With Naruto ~
Naruto was beginning to get worried about Samui, but saw her heading back towards the team. Before he could call out to her, a loud feminine moan was heard. Naruto turned to see Yugito blushing and Cat looking away. "Naruto-kun, .That!" An angry Yugito demanded. "I..have no idea." Naruto said as he took out his messenger to see Samui's text. Naruto put his messenger down and served Samui some food, then turned back to the team.
"Alright, is everyone here?" Naruto asked, only to be responded by the same feminine moan. He turned to his messenger to see the notification of a new text. He opened it up to read : "Naruto, if this is your messenger making that noise, I am going to KILL you!" from Yugito. He looked up to see Yugito looking at him with blind rage in her eyes. "Naruto-kun, why is your messenger making that noise?" She demanded through gritted teeth. 'Easy boy, don't mess up here. This is life or death..' Naruto thought nervously.
"Apparently, someone thought it would be funny to personalize my notification tone.." Naruto muttered as he checked the tone. A recording was set in the ring tone. 'Interesting..' Naruto thought as he looked at an enraged Yugito and a blushing Samui. "Well, no point in distracting ourselves now.." Naruto muttered as he slipped the messenger into his pocket. "Now, onto business." Naruto said as he pointed to the laid out map of Suna on the floor.
"The Armory is in the northeastern sector of Suna. The Records office is in the southeastern sector of Suna. And the bunkers are in the Northern end of Suna, near the earth wall." Naruto said , then took a bite of his food. "In the dead middle of Suna, is the red light district. Hookers, brothels, bars, hotels, and tourist traps. Basically, Sin city itself." Naruto said. "We'll find a cheap hotel there and wait until 10:30." Naruto said as he motioned to Dog and Samui.
"You two will head to the records office and get every record available for the past two months." Naruto then turned to Yugito and Cat. "You two will head to the Armory and see what kind of weapons they plan of deploying, I want no surprises." Naruto said, making sure they understood their assignments. "And I will be heading to the belly of the beast. Security around the barracks will be rough, but if they are preparing for war, all of their forces will be there waiting to mobilize." Naruto said, motioning to the rest of the team.
"Any questions?" He asked. "Good. We meet back up in the hotel at 12:30 am. We keep in constant communication. If shit hits the fan, we haul ass." Naruto said, getting a nod out of all of them. HE quickly sealed up his cooking tools and made sure the fir was put out. "Let's move out then!" He said, and with that, everyone nodded and began the walk into the Suna dessert.
~ Suna Dessert – 8:00 pm ~
Naruto looked ahead as he saw the village walls become visible. So far, they had encountered no opposition, just the average patrol here and there. Naruto quietly motioned for his team to stop and take a small break. Everyone sat and began swigging away at their canteens, leaving Naruto to unseal various cloaks with hoods in a tan color. "Everyone, put one of these on. They're hot as hell, but they should hide your outfits well." Naruto said as he passed them out, then took out a small jar of dirt.
He quietly spread it on certain places in his face and around his nose, then ground it in to make him look poor with his outfit. "Why are you rubbing dirt in?" Samui asked. "Well, technically we're just wanderers looking to rest and eat right?" Naruto asked, getting a nod from Yugito. "No one is going to believe a wandered got through that clean unless he had training or experience. Plus, it's a major bonus as far as the pity party is concerned." Naruto replied.
"Pity party?" Samui asked, only to pick up the jar of dirt and rub some on her face. "Yea, pity party. When people see someone dirty asking for admittance to stay, they automatically assume down on their luck and idiots. Which helps throw suspicion off." Naruto said, then Yugito chipped in. "Besides, who's the last dirty wanderer you remember?" She asked as she smeared her face with a frown. "Another valid point, no one memorizes a dirty face. Just never happens." Naruto muttered handing the jar to dog and Cat.
Dog took off his mask to show a face with brown eyes and brown hair with no major recognizable traits. "Perfect, you've got a very generic face. Easy to forget and hard to remember." Naruto said to the Anbu, who huffed. Cat then took off her mask to show a dark haired beauty with stunning blue eyes. "And you've got those puppy dog eyes, perfect for playing in the guilt." Naruto muttered. The girl blushed slightly, but shook it off and applied the dirt.
As soon as everyone was ready, Naruto put on the hood of the cloak and bent forward, simulating a hump. "Let's go." Naruto told them in a soft tone, making them all look at him oddly before they walked after him. They all pulled their hoods up and leaned their heads down.
~ Village Gates – Entrance ~
Naruto looked ahead of him and saw two guards standing at the gates. "Halt, state your business and show identification!" One of them said as he stepped forward. "We are just travelers searching for a cool bed and a warm meal." Naruto said as he stepped forward. "Can I see your identification?" The guard asked. "We come from a minor village which was recently destroyed. We have no form of identification, we do not wish problems, we just want to pass through." Naruto said, making the guard nervous.
"I'm sorry sir, but we cannot let you pass." One of the guards said. Naruto looked up at the man. "Please sir, we cannot stay out here because the temperature has already dropped and will continue dropping." Naruto said in a pleading tone and looked up with his dirty face, making the guard more uncomfortable at his response.. "Uh… fine, but I hear one peep of trouble out of you or your group are out in the cold!" The guard said and let them pass.
Naruto smiled and took a small bow towards the guard. "Thank you." He said, and then walked in with the rest of his team. 'Infiltration: Complete.' Naruto thought as he and the team walked towards the red light district.
~ Suna – Dessert Evenings Hotel ~
Naruto and his team sighed as soon as they stepped into the suite with adjoining rooms. "Alright, everything's going good so far." Naruto said as he went to the bathroom and wiped the dirt from his face. "Everyone, get ready and get your infiltration outfits ready." Naruto said as he looked at the clock. "Its 9:30. We move out in an hour." Naruto said as he took off his cloak and relaxed for a while.
He sat on the couch with his arms spread out, only to feel two familiar weights leaning on him. "Hey Samui-chan. Hey Yugi-chan." Naruto said through closed eyes. "Think we'll get past this, Naruto-kun?" A nervous Samui asked. Yugito was quiet, but the same thought was running through her mind. "I can promise you two you will make it out. But as for the rest, I'm not so sure." Naruto replied off handedly. "What do you mean?" Asked Yugito in a worried tone.
"Infiltration missions are always risky. There are a million things that can go wrong and one jumpy operative can send everything straight to hell." Naruto said. "All I can tell you girls is to keep a cool head.." Naruto said and kissed Samui's forehead. "And to keep your cat like instincts sharp and follow them." He said as he kissed Yugito's head. "In these kinds of situations, all you can do is prepare for the worst and hope for the best." Naruto said as he hugged the girls close to him.
He looked up to the clock on the wall and saw the time. He looked to the door to see the Anbu in their cloaks with clean faces waiting for them. "Come on girls, show time." Naruto said as he helped the girls up. HE put on his cloak and waited for them to get ready, then they all left the room.
~ Suna Streets ~
Naruto nodded to Samui and Dog as they headed southeast to the records office. He nodded to Yugito and Cat as they headed northeast towards the armory. He rubbed his eyes and headed North. Things were about to get very risky in this mission.
~With Samui and Dog ~
Samui and Dog quietly approached the large office with the Suna symbol at the entrance. The road was thankfully deserted as Dog leaned down to the door. He quickly picked the lock and they both stepped in, making sure to stay in the dark. "We're in" Samui typed into the messenger and sent it to Yugito and Naruto.
~ With Yugito and Cat ~
Yugito and Cat walked past a ninja making rounds around the gated Armory. After they made sure the ninja was out of earshot range, they quietly jumped over the large chain link fence and quietly made their way to what looked like a service entrance. Yugito picked the lock expertly and they both stepped in to find themselves in the kitchen. "We're In" Yugito typed into the messenger and sent it to Samui and Naruto.
~With Naruto ~
Naruto sighed as he walked past the underground barracks entrance and towards the rear. He smiled to the guard walking past him and waved at him. As he kept walking, he saw a large vent spewing out hot air and smirked. He quietly approached it and unscrewed the bolts. After he did, he stepped inside and placed the vent over the opening, leaving everything the way it was as a guard walked towards the back of the building.
He looked around and saw nothing. 'Good, the weird blonde is gone.' He spoke into a walkie-talkie and continued his rounds. Naruto smirked and after reading the messages, texted back: "Operation is a go. Everyone in position, move in and take care of objectives."
