Alright, I did my best to whip out this next chapter. It's longer than the last, so hopefully you like it! More to come soon!

The moon was shining bright as the two teammates were able to sleep soundly, as Kakashi sat on a boulder waiting for any information from his ninja hounds. His silver hair glistened in the moonlight as he turned to the young nin, remembering the days they were genin—along with Sasuke. They really don't seem to change, do they, Obito? Kakashi thought to himself, watching over the young nin.

Sakura fell asleep before Naruto, so the childish nin decided this was his chance to get close to his childhood crush. Sakura rested up against a tree, this way she could defend herself easily if any enemy nin decided to attack. The blossom's head, tilted to the left, made her look vulnerable as she slept—and yet so peaceful. Naruto, also rested up against the same tree, had his tilted to the right. And so, the two young nin slept somewhat peacefully.

Meanwhile, the many ninja hounds bustled through the forest. Sniffing for any slight scent that could lead them to the escaped criminals. Though, it was Pakkun who drew closer to one of the escapees. Seijirou Takeda still rested upon a branch high above the ninja hound, but quickly heard the rustling of the branches and leaves. Watching carefully, he saw the small brown pug dart through the trees. Following its movements he realized that he was safe.

"So, a ninja hound, huh? And, it came from that direction…I wonder what else is that way?" Seijirou chuckled, moving fast in the direction Pakkun came from.

"Sasuke-kun. Sasuke-kun! Sasuke-kun!" She shouted out to the boy, and yet he continued to walk into the shadows where he faded into nothingness. "Sasuke!" Here she was again, running after the raven-haired boy. But she still could not reach him, that's how it always was—and yet it still surprised her into tears each time.

"Sakura-chan, don't cry." It was a kind voice who spoke these words. "Sakura-chan." Sakura's mind calmed, and her dreams turned warm and bright.

"Naruto…kun" She mumbled in her sleep.

Aww, how cute. They must be lovebirds, Seijirou thought. He was in the trees still quite a good distance away, but his thoughts were only on the two nin resting against each other—that and the jounin calmly sitting on a boulder just a few feet away. So, these must be the ninja sent out to look for Fukushima and myself. They're only children. My main worry should really be that man over there. I wonder, how should I go about this? Seijirou thought meticulously to himself.

Meanwhile, Ren Fukushima was snoring up a storm in his little cave. He created stone walls all around him in the cave, making sure that he could sleep without being barged in on.

"This way…" "Over here…" "In this cave…" Light voices plagued Fukushima's mind. It came to the point that he just couldn't sleep anymore, afraid that the guards from the prison have found him.

"Damn. I'm gonna become an insomniac if this continues." He sighed. "Guess, I should try and find that bastard, Takeda. Maybe he's sound asleep," Fukushima chuckled. A simple motion and the walls around him sunk back into the ground, and then he was off into the twilight of the night.

Pakkun and the other hounds continued to search, though they found nothing once the dawn began to break. Kakashi opened his right eye as the light poured into the small clearing of trees where the nin had set up camp for the night. Astounded that he hadn't heard back from his ninja hounds, he summoned Pakkun back to him.

"Sorry, Kakashi, I got nothin'. And I doubt the other have anything either, it really is amazing how much they've kept quiet. Until they mess up, we won't be able to pick up a scent." Pakkun barked to his master.

"Great. Keep looking, and tell the others that, too." Kakashi said, his pug running off into the trees again. By now, Sakura's realizing where Naruto is—and sadly, what he's saying.

"Sakura-chan," the idiot chuckles in his sleep, red flushing Naruto's cheeks. Sakura's reaction, though, is as overboard as always as she punches him right into a new clearing of trees—ten feet away.

"Morning exercises, Sakura?" Kakashi speaks. Sakura just glares at him, her hair slightly tussled due to the shock of Naruto sleeping so close to her.

"What just happened?" Naruto says to himself, unsure of where he is at the moment. "What the hell, Sakura?"

"Well, you shouldn't have been having perverted dreams of me, Naruto!" A rock hits the genin upside the head, crumbling a few seconds after impact.

"Alright, you two. We should really get going now. Two convicts on the loose, remember?" Kakashi's words got the two kids focused, and then, once again, they were off into the trees.

"Damnit! Where is that guy?" Fukushima questioned, rustling in some bushes ahead of him startled the convict.

"Ruff! Oh boy…" It was Pakkun, and he certainly found one of the convicts.

"A little puppy, huh. And I thought it was something to be terrified about, HA!" Fukushima laughed.

"Little puppy, huh, then why don't you try an' catch me?" Pakkun took off in the opposite direction, hoping to reach Kakashi before the earth-style user caught him.

"Catch ya? I'll make you my breakfast!" So, Fukushima ran after the small pug. He got close at times, but Pakkun darted quickly—this angered the convict. "Damn, you dog. You're not going to make a fool out of me! Earth Style: PUPPY Snare Jutsu!" Striking his fingers into the ground, Fukushima creates multiple rock hands that shoot out to ensnare the object of his desire—in this case, Pakkun. The pug runs and jumps from the unending rock hands chasing him. How long will he be able to keep it up?

Okay, that jutsu I had Fukushima do was completely made up, if you didn't know. I'll use legit jutsu from the anime/manga though, too. Will Pakkun get away from the convict, or will he be Fukushima's next meal? Find out next chapter!
