His thoughts turned back to the kiss. Again. It was all he could think about. The way her lips felt incredibly soft and plump against his, and the way her petite body felt against his. He hadn’t meant to kiss her so suddenly but his body moved on it’s own. They’d left the Uchiha compound shortly after in silence. A permanent blush seemed to be etched on Sakura’s cheeks as he made sure she made it home safely. He had laid awake in his own bed at Naruto’s apartment for the better part of the night. Despite the fact that he had to leave for the mission in less than three hours, sleep eluded him like the plague until he had no choice but to get up and get ready.
The mission had been simple. Escort a well-known diplomat through the border of Fire and Wind country. It had only taken three days to complete and now his team, consisting of Kiba and Akamaru, Sai and Yamato, were headed back to Konoha. At least, that had been the plan until his instincts began going haywire and alerted him of foreign chakra around them. He barely had a chance to open his mouth to warn the group when a series of explosions rocked through the forest around them.
They barely managed to escape the debris caused by the explosions when a heavy mist descended on the group. It was enough to put him on edge because even his sharingan had trouble seeing through it, meaning they were sitting ducks if they didn’t move.
“12 enemy shinobi,” Yamato informed them. His hands were touching the ground and feeling the chakra vibrations through the earth. “They have us surrounded.”
“Surrender Sasuke Uchiha and we’ll let you live,” a man’s voice broke through the thick mist. “We have old unfinished business with him.”
They frowned in confusion and glanced at Sasuke. He certainly didn’t recognize them so they must mercenaries looking for a bounty. He did rack up quite a sum in the Bingo Book. That, or he’d somehow encountered them during his time with Orochimaru. After all, he hadn’t been the most honest of shinobi for a time in his younger years.
“I’m afraid we can’t do that,” Yamato called out. “He’s a Konoha shinobi and we don’t turn over our comrades.”
