Tsunade: "And just where do you think you're going?"

Ino "godaime sama..."

Shikamaru "We're still the middle of a mission... ...The 18 teams are still operating all over the fire country. We have reformed our team and so we're off to continue the mission."

　　　Tsuande: "permission denied! "

Tsunade "I've arranged for the teams to move to the point the enemy claimed they would return to.

Tsuande "Shikamaru ...remain here with your team. I will allow you to leave once you have carefully planned your strategy."

Shika "If you just send back up later we'll be ok. Ino and Chouji and me already have a plan."

Tsuanade"Get a grip of yourself! !"

Tsuande " Asuma is dead. There's only the 3 of you now"

Tsuande "Teams require 4 members. For a team like you with no Captain it's..."

Shika "Asuma IS with us"

Tsuande "You planning a suicide mission? This isn't like you Shikamaru, do you want to die a pointless death?"

page 5

Shika "We're no idiots! We're not going there with the intention of dying at all. "

Shika "It's just..."

Tsuande "Just...Just what?"

Shika" If we just run away, just let this go..."

Shika "I'm not up for that kind of living, it's just a fucking pain in the ass..."

Tsuande "grow up! Death comes to all ninja"

Tsuande "some deaths are harder to accept that others; however, if you can't get through that then you don't have have a future."

This keepsake of tobacco...The smoke reminds me of Asuma. It seems to be protecting us.... That's how I feel... "

Shika "...The smokes are with me until this fight is resolved..."

Tsunade "The 3 of you! Get a grip on reality"

Kakashi "I'll accompany them as Team 10's captain. How does that sound?"

Tsuande "you...!"


Kakashi "we'll go to the place Akatsuki stopped at. I'll go as an observer...I won't let them do anything stupid"

Tsuande "Fine. Do as you please!"

Kakashi "thanks"

Chouji "yeaaah!"

Shika "Is ok to leave Naruto, kakashi sensei?"

Ino "what happened to your hand?"

Kakashi "What are you talking about! I've finished with him for the moment! Anyway, another captain is with him right now."

Shika "eh...that Naruto..."

Kakashi "Ok, team Asuma, shall we?"

Ibiki "I'm about to get your arraignment"

Ibiki " The man you had contact with I'll have you tell me about him"

Baldy "hmph...I'm not gonna grass."

Ibiki "....if that's the case then I won't *have* you tell me"

Ibiki " I'll *make* you tell me."

Kakashi "shikamaru...First off, what's your plan"

Shika "Since you are with us I'd like to alter the plan slightly"

Kakashi "right, let's hear it"

Shika "I'll split it into several patterns and explain it. All of you, drill this stuff in your head."

Tsunade "How is Naruto's training going?"


page 16

Sakura "according kakashi sensei, he's got the knack down, He said that it'll take a little while longer to perfect it"


Tsuande "I see..."

Sakura "It's best if Team 7 ie. us, who can make contact with team 10 easily go as back up, right?"

Tsuande "...sharp as always...Sakura"

Shizune "But we still don't know when Naruto will perfect his new Jutsu.... isn't it better if another team went?"


page 17


Tsuande "Sakura...Tell yamato that he has 24 hours left to perfect Naruto's new jutsu. If that's impossible then I'll have another team go instead."

Sakura "will do!"

Tsuande "Shizune...arrange for a team that can contact team 10 easily to be formed in case that don't make it in time."

Shizune "Got it!"

Tsuande " ...it all starts...now"
