Naruto Shippuden/Galaxy Angels

Mission: Protect Milfuelle

Naruto was excited as he rushed through the Hidden Leaf Village towards the Hokage's office. He had just received word that he was going with Kakashi-sensei on an important high level mission! He needed to report to the Hokage's office quickly for the details as to his mission.

"It's about time!" he declared excitedly, "I've been waiting forever for a mission worthy of my talents." He jumped off of a rooftop and landed in front of the door to the Hokage's room. As he pushed the door open, Shizune walked out to meet him.

"There you are Naruto," Shizune said kindly, "you're a little late."

"Sorry. I just barely got the message. I came as fast as I could," Naruto declared rubbing the back of his head and smiling broadly.

"Well come on," Shizune ordered, "Kakashi's already waiting for you."

"Right!" Naruto shouted following Shizune to the Hokage's office.

"I'm here Grandma!" Naruto shouted, "so what's this super important mission that needs my attention, huh?"

"About time you got here," Tsunade declared glaring at Naruto, "you're even later then Kakashi."

"Ah come on Grandma, I only got the message a couple of minutes ago!!! I even had to turn down a second bowl of Ichiraku ramen from Iruka sensei so I could get here this quickly!" Naruto shouted.

"A second bowl!? You mean you were late getting here for this very important mission because you stopped for a bowl of ramen!?" Tsunade yelled getting more and more irritated with Naruto.

"Hey you couldn't expect me to go on this mission hungry now did you!?" Naruto shouted getting equally irritated. Just then, a soft laugh from the other side of the room caught Naruto's attention. He turned to see a young girl with long pink hair standing next to the Hokage's desk. She wore a white and black military uniform and had two pink flowers stuck in her hair. "Huh, who's this?" he asked looking at the girl.

"Hi, I'm Milfeulle!" the bright eyed girl declared looking at Naruto and smiling.

"This is our client," declared Tsunade, "she's from a military faction called the Angel Brigade and she's been sent here on a very important mission. The problem is that this mission is to difficult for her to handle on her own, and the rest of her brigade is busy with other missions. So the Angels have enlisted the Village Hidden in the Leaves to aid in the completion of this mission."

"Wait, this girl is with the military!?" shouted Naruto in surprise, "that can't be right! She can't be any older then I am!"

"This coming from a Shinobi. Seems to me you're a pot calling the kettle black Naruto," Kakashi said smiling at his young pupil, "how old are you miss? If you don't mind me asking."

"I'm seventeen!" the girl replied cheerfully.

"There you go Naruto, she's one year older then you are," Kakashi stated glancing over at Naruto who was beginning to get very angry, "now what exactly is our assignment Lady Tsunade?"

Tsunade looked grim for a moment then looked at her two shinobi. "Milfeulle has been assigned to eliminate the Black Shinobi Bandits," Tsunade declared.

"What?" Kakashi gasped, his visible eye widening with surprise.

"That's right. These Black Shinobi Bandits have been going around hurting people. The Angel Brigade's assignment is to eliminate them. Unfortunately Forte, Ranpha, Mint, and Vanilla are all busy with other missions so I'm the only one available," the girl said more seriously, but still smiling, "although, I did bring Nomad with me!" she declared proudly.

"Nomad?" Naruto said cheekily, "what kind of stupid name is Nomad?"

"Hey that's my name!" came a high pitched voice from behind the Hokage's desk.

"What the heck!?" shouted Naruto in surprise. Milfeulle reached behind the desk and pulled out a small pink doll. "Huh!? No way, that doll is talking!?" Naruto shouted pointing at Nomad.

"Yes I can talk, and I can already tell that I don't like you," Nomad declared.

"What did you just say you stupid doll!?" Naruto shouted angrily, "I don't think I heard you quite right!"

"You heard me. I said, I can already tell that I don't…" Nomad didn't even finish his sentence as Naruto grabbed him and slammed him into a nearby wall, "I think I'll be quiet now," Nomad declared.

"Sounds like music to my ears," Naruto declared folding his arms.

"Naruto! You can't do that to a client!" Tsunade shouted angrily.

"Wait, I thought I was the client," Milfeulle declared confusedly. Kakashi and Shizune just stood back and quietly laughed.

They left on their mission a few minutes later. Milfeulle carrying Nomad and Naruto and Kakashi walking in front of her.

"So who are the Black Shinobi Bandits, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked.

"They're a group of shinobi bandits who have been raiding villages for the past month or so. They're not exactly big time crooks, but it is worth mentioning that their leader is a former ninja from the Hidden Grass Village who was once hailed as the Demon of the Grass. They say that it's because of him that the Grass Village is still around today. Twenty years ago, the hidden Grass was attacked by a joint army of Hidden Cloud and Lightning Shinobi. They way that this ninja single handedly repelled 5 teams of Cloud and Lightning Ninja in defense of his village. This allowed the rest of his village to mount a successful defense and drive away their enemies. Of course that's only a legend, and I'm afraid I really don't know much else about him," Kakashi answered.

"Oh wow," Milfeulle said, "he sounds scary."

"Nah, this'll be a piece of cake," Naruto declared confidently, "I'll just blow him away with my Rasengan!"

"Oh wow, you must be really strong," Milfeulle said smiling at Naruto.

"If only his jutsu was as strong as his boasting," declared Kakashi.

"If that were the case he'd be unstoppable," Nomad declared.

"I'm sorry, did you say something you stupid little doll, maybe you'd like me to try out my Rasengan on you!" Naruto declared annoyed.

"I didn't say anything at all," Nomad replied.

"That's what I thought," Naruto declared.

"Watch your step you two," Kakashi ordered, "we're entering bandit territory now."

"Yes sir," declared Milfeulle saluting. Suddenly, she tripped and fell over something, "ouch."

"Hey you alright?" Naruto asked walking over to her. Suddenly shuriken came whizzing from a nearby bush. "Yikes!" Naruto shouted grabbing Milfeulle and jumping out of the way of the shurikens just as they came whistling past.

"I thought I told you to watch your step," Kakashi said calmly.

"It wasn't me!" Naruto shouted angrily, "you idiot you could have gotten us both killed!" Naruto shouted at Milfuelle.

"I… I'm so sorry," sobbed Milfuelle beginning to cry.

"Well now you've done it," declared Kakashi pulling out his copy of Make-out Paradise, "now you've gone and made her cry."

"You big bully," said Nomad, "it was just an accident, you don't have to be so mean to her."

"Uh, would you shut up!" Naruto shouted stomping his foot down on Nomad.

"Sorry," said Nomad.

"Hey I'm sorry I yelled at you," Naruto said, "can we just get going already."

"Okay," Milfeulle replied smiling once again.

Ten minutes of wandering later, Naruto was burnt, scratched and hurting. Milfeulle had accidentally set off one trap after another leaving Naruto usually taking most the beating from the trap. Somehow, Milfeulle had been able to dodge every trap without even being scratched.

"Naruto I'm so sorry," said Milfeulle walking towards Naruto, "oops," she said as she tripped and fell down again. This time, a giant log came swinging down towards them.

"Naruto!" Kakashi shouted.

"I got it!" Naruto shouted, "Rasengan!" Naruto hit the tree with his Rasengan and blew it to pieces. "Phew," Naruto sighed, then he turned on Milfuelle, "you idiot! Are you stupid or something!? How many stinking traps can you set off!? Are you trying to hit everyone!? Darn it, why are you even here!? You're just slowing us down!" Naruto shouted in anger.

"Calm down Naruto," Kakashi ordered.

"NO I'm not calming down! This is the twentieth time in ten minutes that she's almost gotten me killed!" Naruto shouted pointing at Milfeulle why had completely broken down crying. Far to late, Naruto realized what he had just done.

"Milfuelle?" Nomad piped up, "are you alright?" Milfuelle stood up and ran away from Naruto still crying, "Milfuelle wait! It's not safe! There are bandits out there!"

"Naruto," Kakashi declared angrily.

"Yeah I know," Naruto declared beginning to feel bad. He hadn't meant to make Milfuelle cry. He'd just been angry and he'd said a lot of mean things before he'd even realized it. Suddenly, a scream broke through the forest!

"MILFEULLE!!!!!" Nomad, Naruto, and Kakashi all shouted at the same time moving towards the sound.
