It was a rather warm spring morning, the night's dew still clinging to the soft green grass as Team 7 was casually waiting at the bridge for their sensei to show up. This team consisted of three people, all of which were now seventeen. First there was Sasuke. After he had killed Orochimaru he had returned to Konoha, seeking refuge from the vengeful ninja of Sound. At first being outcast by the entire village, being labeled as the traitor. But, soon after he had returned his swarm of fan girls once again became loyal to him and was now welcomed with open arms. A couple months after that he found confessed his love to Naruto, who (shocker! Heavy on the sarcasm) felt the same way. Now they had been dating for nearly two years. He had grown out his black hair to a little below the shoulders, but still kept it spiked on the sides. Having outgrown his normal navy blue shirt and white shorts and not wanting to wear the outfit he had worn at his stay at Sound he invested in a new one. It consisted of black traditional shrine keeper pants with a tight fitting black sleeveless shirt. Around his neck he wore a necklace with the Uchiha clan symbol on it.
Next to him lounged a blonde who, by the looks of it, had fallen asleep. This boy, being named Naruto, had been blessed by the Puberty Fairy. Before when he had been an obnoxious, loud orange clad demon vessel, with unruly blonde hair was now a quite, not as obnoxious young man, who didn't wear a lot of orange. His hair now more shaggy than spiky and had a reddish tinge to it; fox ears twitching on top. His eyes not a cerulean blue anymore but rather a bluish violet with slits for pupils; his canine's razor sharp, and whisker marks more prominent. It had become quite obvious that the Kyuubi had fused with her container. Instead of the ugly neon orange jumpsuit he now wore an outfit that wasn't quite as loud. Equipped with a sleeveless tight orange shirt with a black fishnet underneath, Black shrine keeper pants much like Sasuke's, bandages wrapped around his upper left arm and torso, with long black gloves that stopped just above the elbow. Around his neck he wore a black choker with a bell on it. Swishing behind him was an orange foxtail, matching his new ears.
The last of the three was a pink haired kunoichi, named Sakura. She had long since given up on Sasuke and now devoted her time to her boyfriend, Lee. Sakura had grown out her hair again but didn't keep it quite as long as she did; it was now at her middle back. Even though her chest used to be as big as a ten year old boys was she had now developed curves that most women were envious of. Also having outgrown her old outfit she now wore what was a white sundress that was littered with pink sakura flowers, and heels.
These three were still waiting for their former, yes former, sensei to arrive. About a year after Sasuke had come back after killing Orochimaru, They had all been promoted to ANBU, of which Naruto was almost immediately appointed captain of their team. Suddenly, a in a puff of smoke Kakashi appeared, not even making them twitch. "Maa, sorry I'm late; I had to attend to a dolphins inner needs." He said. Naruto sighed before saying, "Kakashi, please tell me at least Iruka can still walk."
Blushing a little under his mask he nodded. Kakashi and Iruka had been dating for over five years now and often the pervert ended up having his way with Iruka any time he wanted. Of course if he went over board then he would be sleeping on the couch for who knows how long. "The Hokage said she has a mission for you," the scarecrow stated before disappearing once again in a cloud of smoke. Heaving himself up Naruto made his way to the Hokage Tower with his two team mates in tow. When they arrived inside the Hokage's office, they found her to be sleeping peacefully, mumbling incoherent things while a thin line of droll trickled down her chin.
Sighing, Naruto poked her with a stick that had mysteriously appeared out of thin air (Authoress: tee, hee!! hides pencil). She snorted and woke up, quickly pulling out a kunai. "Who's there!!" she shouted, still a bit dazed from her half asleep stage. "It's us baa-chan, you called for us remember?" he said. She blinked for a second before nodding and sitting back down. "I have a new mission for you; it's a year long one." She stated. "An old friend of mine has called for protection against his school, and his favorite student." She went on. "This is an A-rank mission and can be turned into an S-rank at anytime. I advise you keep on your guard at all times of the day, and if anything happens do not hesitate to use your Justus or bloodlines. You will be posing as students at the school, so unless you're in dire need, do not use them," she explained. "Since this is an A-rank, possibly an S-rank, you will have to have another person accompany you," once she said this it quirked everybody's interest.
"Whose coming?" asked Naruto who was at last interested. "Come in Itachi!" shouted Tsunade. A little after Sasuke had come back from Sound, Itachi had come back from Akatsuki. At first Sasuke wanted to kill him, and hated him with a passion, but over time, they had gotten used to each other and took the time to talk about why Itachi killed the clan and joined that awful cult. Turns out, that Itachi wasn't the one who had killed his family; it was Orochimaru with a henge on him. He had joined Akatsuki because he had been sent by the Third as a spy, and conveyed information back to the Hokage.
After Itachi had come she proceeded to tell them that they would be staying at a place called "The Burrow" until the school starts. Whenever she mentioned that they would be learning magic, everybody looked at her in disbelief. "Everybody knows magic isn't real!" shouted the Jinchuriki. "Well, apparently it is, dobe," said Sasuke, his tone aloof. "How would you know, teme?" asked Naruto in a teasing tone. "Magic," the raven replied, smirking. The blonde pouted cutely before dropping the subject. "Now, Sakura put a henge on your hair. Same goes for you Sasuke and Itachi and also your clothes," stated Tsunade. "Naruto put a henge on your face, ears, and tail as well; we don't want anyone finding out that you're harboring a demon."
"Youkai," they all said before doing the necessary hand signs. In a puff of smoke they all looked rather different. The only difference in Naruto was he didn't have whiskers, tail, or fox ears; and his hair, eyes were back to his natural aqua blue and blonde. On Sasuke his hair was now pitch black instead of Bluish-black and his eyes an auburn color. His clothes consisted of Black skinny jeans with many chains, two studded belts, cargo boots, a navy blue fishnet shirt with a black sleeveless shirt underneath, and the Uchiha symbol still around his neck.
Itachi's hair was also pitch black but instead of his normal sharingan eyes he now had hazel eyes. He wore loose blue jean pants with a short sleeve black t-shirt that had Japanese writing across the front that said, Weapon of ass destruction, and black shoes. Upon seeing this both Sasuke and Naruto started laughing aloud, while Tsunade and Sakura hit the two over the head. Once they had settled down they turned to look at Sakura, whose hair was now a brown, with dull green eyes; she was still dressed in her sundress.
Whenever everybody had finished observing each other, Tsunade took out a sake bottle. "Ne, Baa-chan you're going to drink right before we go on a mission?" exclaimed Naruto. "I'm not baka. This is a port key; it will take you to the destination that it has been assigned to. In this case it's The Burrow. Your stuff is already there." She explained. "Now on the count of three grab hold of it and don't let go till your there," The Hokage said. "One, two, three!" she shouted as they all grabbed it at once and disappeared.
