Dawn of the Mission!

Gray, dark clouds had settled over Konoha. It wasn't raining, but it seemed like it could start at any moment. It looked like the clouds knew what was waiting for Konoha ...
All the Chuu-nin from Konoha and Suna-Gakure had gathered in front of the large entrance gate of Konoha. In the Hokage's office they had agreed to go out tonight and spend the night in the woods. Then at dawn they would be in Oto-Gakure and be ready for the mission.
Tsunade was with the group. She wanted to personally say goodbye to the brave ninjas. She had slight reservations about this plan, but now there was no turning back.
The youngsters were standing in a circle and they all seemed a little nervous. Except, of course, not Naruto. He was grinning all over his face.With the new ones, this was a bit scary.
As I said before, Naruto grinned at everyone. Neji looked thoughtfully at Tsunade. Sai had fixed his gaze on the floor again. Hinata looked a little shyly at Naruto and watched if he wanted to give another speech. Sakura looked at the sky in concern. But her worries weren't about the clouds in the sky and whether it would rain ... No, she seemed worried about other things.
Lee looked at the new ones and watched them all in silence.
Gaare also looked thoughtfully at Tsunade.
From the new:
Kanedo looked silently at Hinata. Jia looked at Neji in silence and immediately averted her eyes when Neji looked at her. Karin stood next to Gaara and looked at him out of the corner of her eye.
Ayana also looked at the floor. Akane looked back and forth. She was especially nervous among the others from Konoha she didn't know.
And Tsunade looked out through the gate. Nobody knew what to say. Tsunade actually had the floor. But she seemed lost in thought.But then she took the chance:
"So go ahead. The faster the better. I wish you all the best!" Was her short speech and everyone looked up at her. Nobody moved. Naruto was the first to understand and say:
"Thank you, Grandma Tsunade! We're already gone!" And with a wave of the hand to Sakura he started walking. She followed him and the others had no choice but to start walking.
Naruto started to really accelerate and jumped into the trees and disappeared into the forest. Sakura followed him and Sai was right next to her. The others were behind Team 7.
° Naruto really made the pace. Alreadynow. He really wants to do this mission and get Sasuke here. But will that work? °, Neji thought while Lee and Hinata were next to him. They jumped from tree to tree. It was very quiet among all the ninjas. A few words were seldom spoken. This was very scary ...

The clouds in the sky still obscured the sun, but you could already see that it was going down. The Chuu-nin had been on the road for 4 hours.The newcomers had taken the chance to have a little chat with the others.
Akane was a little quieter, and Hinata wasn't very quick either. She had tried to start a conversation with the Hyuga. And this was happily achieved. She only asked a few boring questions at first, but then things got more interesting. She learned a lot from Hinata, such as:
Who Sasuke was and why he was with Orochimaru now.
Who the others Akane didn't know were.
Her Neji also made known as her cousenk. Also showed her Lee and told her a little bit about him. Overall, Akane knew a lot more than the others, the new ones.
But then Hinata also asked a few things:
"You have these two subjects with you. Does that have to do with a special Jutsu?", Hinata asked and her shyness towards Akane was gone.
Akane told her that she was very fond of wind jutsu and therefore had the fans with her, if it was usable in this mission. Hinata immediately thought of Temari, with her large, colorful fan.But Akane wasn't the only one who dared to get closer to the others. Kanedo also engaged Neji in a conversation, with Lee also participating.
Kanedo was amazed at the Byakugan, which Hinata also had.
Inside he found her very cute. Then he made himself Naruto as a competitor, but he didn't know that yet.
It was at least 10 p.m. and Sai suggested a break. Of course, Naruto had immediately said:
"No! We have to go to Sasuke as soon as possible!", But he was outvoted. Sakura actually wanted to go on quickly and was on Naruto's side. But a break wouldn't hurt.
They found a small stream in the forest and sat down next to him.
They all sat in the round in this order:

Naruto, Sakura, Sai, Neji, Lee, Hinata, Kanedo, Akane, Ayana, Jia, Gaara, Karin.
Naruto hadn't talked to the new ones like that yet. He had run in front the whole time.
He did not mince his words:
"Tell me something, you new guys! I haven't had a chance to meet you guys yet."he spoke directly.
First of all, confused looks came towards him. How should the new ones begin?
Kanedo then found a very simple question about the mission that was not answered for him either:
"They said we should get a Sasuke and turn off Orochimaru, but who isSasuke?" He asked.
Naruto wanted to answer the question right away, but he didn't know how. What should he say
A friend turned nuke-nin?
A nuke-nin from Konoha who then defected to Orochimaru?
Everything sounded bad.
Neji stood in for Naruto:
"An old ninja from Konoha, only he was lied to by Orochimaru and dragged to Oto-gakure. We have the feeling that Orochimaru wants to do something to him now and that's why we're bringing him back!"
Kanedo nodded understandably. And also Naruto nodded his thanks to Neji. It couldn't have been formulated any better. Well, it wasn't entirely true. Sasuke had left voluntarily, but that didn't matter now.

In the 10 minute break, rather small groups had formed.Neji, Gaara, Naruto, Lee chatted with Kanedo and Ayana. Jia was there too and clung to Gaara. Just because she knew Gaara best on her own. She just wanted to listen rather than join the conversation. Most of all she wanted to hear what this Neji had to say. Somehow she thought it was ... cool! She had a very strange feeling about him.
Hinata, Karin, Akane talked something among girls. Hinata was good with the two girls.
Sakura would have liked to participate, but she was too lost in thought. She got a strange feeling.
° I believe that this mission will not be as easy as expected. Somehow ... somehow I have a strange feeling ... with Sasuke. As if he won't come with you at all. As if I already knew this. But that's nonsense! Why should Sasuke want to stay with Orochimaru when this snake is now taking over his body. No, I have to trust more. But it is difficult to trust someone who has betrayed Konoha ... °, thought Haruno and looked into the stream.The moon was reflected over her. It was completely clear water and you could see every groove of the moon in the water. Suddenly a hand came to rest on her shoulder. She winced and looked up ... right into Sai's face.
He sat down next to her and remained quiet at first.
You could see the concern on Sai's face. He really loved Sakura, but she didn't know. He was too cool for that. But Sakura had noticed for a long time that something was wrong with Sai.
"What is Sakura? Why don't you join the conversation?" He asked in his normal, cool voice.
Sakura hesitated and slid her hand over the water.
"I'm just worried about the mission. I hope we can do it!" She explained. Sai remained silent. But then he asked more directly:
"Who is this Sasuke? Do you know him?" Asked the boy.
Sakura stopped her hand, which was sliding back and forth across the water. She took them out of the water and stayed still. But then she took a jerk.
"He was once on the team with me and Naruto.- "she paused. She didn't want to tell Sai everything. What if she hurt his feelings now? That was too hard. Sakura knew the feeling.
"-but then he ran over to Orochimaru, because you have to know that Sasuke is an Uchiha. His clan was deleted by his brother and Sasuke now wants to train a lot and become strong so that he can kill his brother. And Orochimaru promised him then power and he accepted the offer, "she said monotonously.
Again a deadly silence settled between the two of them. Sai looked into the water and saw Sakura reflected inside, but she looked to the side and couldn't see Sai. The look on her face spoke volumes.
"And you love him ..." Sai continued himself. Sakura paused. And carefully looked back at Sai. He didn't even look at her. Sakura thought about it.
Maybe Naruto was right then. One day he came to Sakura and confessed to her that he was afraid that Sai loved her. Sakura found the blond's thought absurd, but in the meantime she noticed Sai's strange behavior towards her.Maybe Naruto was right. But Sakura just wanted to like Sai on a purely friendly basis. But don't love ...

It's not easy to say ... I love you ...
One has to ponder these words ...
Because if you only giveonceyour heart in love ...
Should it be a mistake, you will never forgive yourself ...

"How do you know that?" Asked the green-eyed woman and looked Sai in the eye.
"You notice that immediately.", He replied and tried to create a small smile. But he didn't quite succeed.
Sakura looked back into the lake.
"I didn't mean to hurt you," she mumbled then.
Sai was amazed at these words. Does that mean she knew ?! Did she know he was in love with her?
Hopefully not, thought the black-haired man. Even if he was cold ... that would have killed him. He found it just too embarrassing for her. Although ... then she would finally know how he feels about her ...
"You haven't!" Sai said and this time he managed to smile a little better.He got up and went to the boys. Sakura watched him go.
He seemed offended after all. But he knew. She also got up carefully and went to
