Sarada's POV
Anger, furious and humiliated, these were the feelings going inside me,
How could all be this ignorant? Not assigning us missions worthy of our skill well, we ignored it but now giving those trashes for ninja such an important mission. I was so angry that i was hyperventilating.
Now's not the time to throw a tantrum whether I get this mission or not but i absolutely refuse to let those trashes have it.
Taking out my phone i called Chocho, the moment she picked up i said,
"Ino-Shika-Cho, plus hima Chan, with Mitsuki and Sumire ground 3 now" and cut the call before she could say anything.
10 minutes later
All 6 of them were in front of me,
Shikadai:( with laziness dripping from the sentence) what's the emergency?
Sarada: hear for yourselves
After they heard the recording
Narrator POV
Anger, humiliation and hurt were the feelings of the 7 shinobi in the ground.
They were angry at not being considered eligible enough for such a important mission, humiliated because people below thier skill levels were selected and hurt because this somewhere implied that their parents didn't placed even an ounce of trust in their abilities.
Shikadai mustered up the most neutral tone he could to hide his haywire emotions," although I get the hint now that why you've called us but I'll still like to hear it from your mouth"
" We all have been suffering in silence for quite a while, our parents shrug off our insecurities thinking that we are trying to crack a joke. Well i don't blame them, because they probably compare our problems with the ones they faced during their teenhood. Well they're not wrong, after all how can you compare some mere insecurities that kill you bit by bit everyday with life threatening assassinations that they faced, how can compare always getting indirectly belittled on improving because of your parents fame to fighting for your life in a war against monsters (zetsus). You see right there is no comparison, our problems don't even exist in their measurement scale of struggle and problems. Our only mistake being that we were born in the times of peace. ........ Well our parents are busy so it is best that we help ourselves. I have had enough of walking with a thorn in my feet. The wound has rotten but hasn't gone numb. Long story short it's time to rebel. "
There was a pause, everyone was trying to find a reason to refute Sarada's argument only to hang their heads in defeat. It was true, all of them had had enough. If they didn't do anything now, they won't be able to do anything in life.
Mitsuki broke the tension: so what's the plan?
Sarada: item no. 1 on the agenda is to make sure lord 7th changes his decision on giving the mission to those trashes.
Sumire : but have to get our hands on the missions details first to judge whether we can take it or whether to leave it to other experienced elite jounins. We can't just blindly take a mission because we want it.
Shika: for that well infiltrate lord 7th's office tonight at 3 a.m.
Chocho: won't he be in his office doing paperwork?
Hima: leave that to me. I'll convince him to come home tonight for dinner. The other major obstacle is the anbu who will be gaurding the office.
Sarada: I'll take care of them. I'll put them in a genjutsu they'll see the office as it is with nothing happening.
Chocho: are you sure you can cast a genjutsu powerful enough?
Sarada: (smirking) mama is resistant to genjutsu but i was able to trap her in a similar one for a good 20 minutes before she suspected anything. And she is kage level. So trapping anbu won't be that difficult.
Inojin: then that only leaves the cctv cameras that'll record everything.
Sumire: I'll take care of those
Everyone turned to her with a raised eyebrow
Sumire: what!?!! I know hacking to a very good extent. I'll delete the footage section of us going through the office and then replace it with a loop of the empty office footage. However, I'll need some assistance to get in and out of the control room unnoticed.
Mitsuki: i can help you with that and while you work on the footage I'll keep watch for other guards.
Chocho: there's still one problem though, all the drawers in lord 7th's desk are digital locks whose password lies only with the important and trustworthy people
Mitsuki: that means only lord 7 th, Sasuke-san , Sai-san and Shikamaru-san have access to the drawer and the mission file.
Shika: not completely
All eyes turned to the Nara.
Shika: Even though the password lies with them they must have atleast once typed it during today, which means that one of the two anbus which are stationed by the window wall must have seen it. Inojin can enter their minds and get his hands on the code.
Inojin: i can however there is one problem, ever since dad became the anbu director, he started placing a very special seal on all anbu it guards them against any sort of mind possession jutsu, i can break- through the seal no problem, however that will alert the anbu whose mind in and dad's as well because he will feel the seal get broken.
Everyone fell silent trying to come up with a way to counter this final obstacle.
"I can help you with that" a enthusiastic tone sounded just above them.
They snapped their heads upwards only to find a grinning red head sitting on a platform seal just above their heads.
Sarada: (in anger) you!!!!!
Bolt:( avoiding eye contact and with a playful nonchalant tone): yo!!!
Dispersing the seal he landed right between Mitsuki and Sarada.
Shika: how long were you there ?
Bolt: (with his arrogant, brat farce) oh since miss future hokage was giving her emotionally speech.
Sarada gave an annoyed growl and Bolt only smirked in response.
Inojin ( breaking the tension): how were you going to help?
Bolt: did you forgot? I'm a seal master dummy!!! Weakening that protection seal to an almost dead level so that you can enter the mind without the anbu and your dad knowing and then restoring it to it's original power is not much difficult for me.
Shika: if you can do that then it's good however..... Why?
Bolt: huh?
The mood suddenly went dead serious as Shikadai and Bolt had a staredown.
Shika: you aren't the kind of guy who'll help us out of goodwill. So.... What do you want in return?
Bolt maintained his grin and even forcefully widened it a little, Shikadai's words of mistrust hurt him but he had no choice but to suck it up.
Shikadai doesn't remembered that it's me he's talking to
He tried to soothe himself.
Bolt: well since you did caught on, I'll say it outright. If you guys decide to get this mission for yourselves then, you'll have to add me on the team too.i want better missions.
Sarada shared glances with everyone, she knew what was in their minds, whether they could trust him or not. Everyone was silent because they had left the final say in the hands of their unanimously chosen leader, on her.
Sighing she gave her verdict,
Sarada: fine you will be on the team BUT you HAVE to follow orders
Bolt: agreed
Sarada knew that from an outsider's perspective her decision looked foolish. However, inside of her a very big part of her soul was screaming at her that this man would never ever betray her. And before she could stop herself the words had already come out of her mouth.
Hima: even if we gets the mission details how are we going to prevent the assigning of it to those douche-bags ?
Chocho: that's not very difficult. Those guys are all underaged and yet they spend each of their night in the village's red district, drinking, smoking and f**king. According to the conversation of lord 7th and the others. They aren't aware of this, and they have already given an informal oral edict to those guys that they will be given such an important mission. And the formal assignment will be taking place the day after tomorrow. And yet while coming here i saw those guys entering the red district again.
Red district was the area of the village filled with brothels and bars. Naturally people went there weren't viewed in a positive light.
Bolt: so if these a**holes are going fooling around today then they'll do so tomorrow night as well. We just have to expose them in front of the geezer and he'll change his mind about giving those guys the mission.
Shika: No. We have to make sure that it doesn't come to light that we exposed those guys. Oyaji is smart he'll start suspecting that something is going on behind the scenes.
Inojin: then?
Shikadai: I'll have mirai nee-san do the reporting to lord 7 th. Tonight Chocho and i will record those guys smoking and drinking and give the recording to nee-san tomorrow.
Bolt: well that settles it.
Hima: it's 7:30 right now. Dinner will be at 9. I'll go to the office and convince dad to come home tonight for dinner. Once we enter the house, and asleep after dinner I'll drop a message to you guys.
Saying so hima and every one else took off.
Sarada's POV
The plan was set.
Shikadai and Chocho will get evidence against those trashes.
Mitsuki and Sumire will handle the matters in the control room
Hima Chan will handle lord 7 th
Inojin, Bolt and I will infiltrate the office.
While walking back home i looked at the back of the red headed baka.
Why had he particularly provoked me? It's as if he knew that all the other's will listen to me..
"Don't you think it's high time that you start acting like the hokage you want to be"
oh since miss future hokage was giving her emotionally speech.
Hold on a second!!!
I never told him I wanted to be hokage!!!
Then how did he knew?!!?!! Only people close to me know
Him knowing could only mean one thing....
Is he really the guy I've been waiting for the past 3 years!?!!
