...... haku walked into the hokages office a little nervously. He realized due to his earlier actions that he was largly still under a probation period what would happen to him if he was denied entry zabuza was in prison and he was quite happy with being allowed to visit him.

..... The kage will see you now haku. This startled him out of his lityle day dream. Time to face the music. good day hokage sama said haku.

..... I wonder if your curious as to why your here said hokage sama still wrapped head to toe in bandages. Haku was startled truthfully. He wondered how the hokage was so beat up.

.... umm i assume you have decided what to do with me responded haku truthfully.

... the hokage seemed distracted after this answer. I want you to tell me honestly. Where were you 3 days ago when this village was assaulted by the sound....

... haku was now very nervouse. I was in zabizas cell keeping him company sir.

..... was it really not him then. Im sure that was a ice genjutsu thought the hokage. Very well then he said. I have a mission for you. We had one of our ninjas go missing during the crisis. Find out if it was willing desertion or capture. Here is saske uchihas profile.

..... haku took a look at the information and nodded. I can use my ice birds to send regular updates said haku. How long do i have for the mission parameters.

..... hokage responded with a nod, and said you have three weeks. More time can be alloted if necessary. But try to be as quick as possible.

.... haku nodded and left.

.... .... ..

..... kakashi follow him and see if he can disapear and reappear using his ice kekei genki. Also make sure he doesnt run off.

Understood hakagesama.... poof

..... .... ... ...

.... orochimaru was steaming. All his best laid plans laid to waste. He couldnt even take over saskes body because of his injuries. That cursed useless old man why wont he die, and who was it that interfeared arrg.

... .... ...

..... Danzo was cursing at how things had failed to go his way yet again. He was supposed to become hokage after the 3rd was assassinated. That useless orochimaru.

...... .... ...

.....naruto was quite happy. He did well in the chunin exams even though he did not get promoted. Probably due to the thing being fudged up. But he got a new sensei even if he was a pervy sage. And he was learning this cool new ninjutsu. Ressengan.

... ... ... ..

..... Ed was happy that things seemed to have worked out ok. He was able to leave the village easily and didnt expose either himself or rinea. He felt quite lucky.

.... as the two walked back to their base rinea asked ed, how did you get passed that barrier even jonin couldn't get thru it.

.... ed smiled and replied, i felt something might happen so i placed a couple of what i call ice doors around the village to aid where i could. Or flee if necessary.

.... what are ice doors asked rinea.

..... basically i can slip in them due to my kekai genkai and go to another, but it has a limited range at this point. Basically only the area of the leaf village in scale it uses a grest deal of chackra to maintain.

.... that is such a cheat said rinea.

..... said the girl who can put even jonin under genjutsu because of her eyes.

.... thats different she replied.

..... ... ... ...

..... naruto was exausted they traveled during the day and he spent most the night training his ressengan. But he was making progress. They seemed to finaly catch wind of there target as well she seemed to be in this city sonewhere.

.... .... ..

.... haku was seriously stressed at this point. It was ever so hard traking down this little missing nin from the leaf. He suspected that he didnt dissapear on his own.
