Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
The snow had been falling nonstop since the beginning of October, making it difficult for a man who was trying to find his way through the current storm, he had a meeting with a group.
That man's name was Naruto Uzumaki, a shinobi who had abandoned his village and his dream.
He didn't get anything to recall his identity or his past anymore...
Swears and curses could be heard through out the freezing weather. On the outskirt nearing a campfire, about 20 men covered only with just their pants were fighting each others bare-handed.
"Motherfucker!" Shout a young teenager after getting his nose broken. "Come ON!"
Althought it seemed like they were having one crazy fight, they in fact were sparing one by one. Each group had only two people trying to fight a duel than just blindly join the others.
"COME ON and fight! I'll show you how it is done!"
"I'm freezing here dude, your fist is not helping..."
Naruto stood far from their place, observing everymove they made as he began dragging his boots towards them.
One of the fighter caught sight of him only to get a punch to the face as a reward.
"OW! The boss.."
"What?" The one who landed his fist started looking around until he caught the eyes of the blond figure walking towards their fighting ground. "The boss is here everyone!"
Immediately every single one stopped what they were doing and casted their eyes around to find the one who was called "boss".
"Boss!" "Boss!" "I can't believe that he went to meet us." One after another tried to talk normally even though they were almost out of breath from the weather and the fight.
"...So you are the volunteers who wish to join our force?...Hm, Kimura told you to start fighting in pairs, didn't he?" Asked Naruto.
"Yes boss! Kimura-san told us if we prove ourselves worthy, we can join you!" Said a smiling man.
"Uh...Where is he now?"
"The Jonin commander is currently busy with something in the station, he requested that nobody disturbs him while he is in his chamber... Is there a problem, boss?"
"Can I join your force, boss? I've been waiting for this day, I promise I won't disappoint you!"
Naruto let out a small chuckle. ' Kimura, I really don't know if having you as an instrustor is a good idea.' He thought.
"Calm down, he didn't mean it when he said that, all of you are welcome in here. Our base is still just a small group of mercenaries, we need more people to run the business here and I always prefer the volunteers, the ones who come on their free wills are far more trustworthy." He said.
"Boss...I understand! I'll try my best to help our base grow!"
"Me too! You can count on me boss!"
"Good! This is now our home, I expect the best from you... Now head for the infirmary and patch those wounds up before reporting in the post camp..." Said Naruto. "Hakuno-san will be in the meeting place if someone wanna know."
"At once! Come on everybody." As fast as their legs could go, they started sprinting back to the gate.
'..It'll pretty chilly if I'm shirtless too. What was he thinking?' Sighing, Naruto followed their way inside the base, he was late for the meeting.
"Sorry, I got caught in a storm this morning." Naruto said as he step inside one of the cabin. "Is everyone here?"
There were 4 people inside, all of them dressed in black vests and each one had a tag printed on his chest.
"Take a seat...Boss, we got a problem." The largest man in the group said.
"What is it, Kimura-san?" Naruto asked as he sat on one of the chairs.
"One of our squads has caught sight of Iwa shinobi in our territory, It was reported that they are Chunin or higher." The man before whose name was Kimura said.
"What rank is that squad, Tsuki?"
"B rank Intel team, I spoke with them in person." A silver haired Jonin responded. "They were inspecting a diamond location 20 miles West from here when those bastards attacked."
"How many of them and did anyone get injured?"
"3 vs 5 and the result was...rather heavy for us. Two members had to stay for the other three to escape...Hakuno-san just found one this morning, his body is being burned as we speak. About the kunoichi...I'm not sure."
"...Hakuno, did you notice anything when you arrive at the scene?"
"No, they broke all the trails. The storm was too thick and even Orochimaru-san couldn't track them." A middle-age man said.
"They got attacked 2 days ago, that time is enough for them to disappear...thanks to the storm." A skinny man with long black hair said.
"What news did your clones bring?"
"..." Silence.
"Your clones can't hold their own in this weather?"
If the situation had been different, Naruto would have laughed. Of all kind of thing that could prevent the mightiest scout of ninja, it went straight to the cold...Not to mention that the clones are belong to 3 exprienced Jonin and one Sannin.
"Well...They aren't solid like mine so I guess that's the reason I'm here?"
"You caught me. One of us could go but then again there will be one less person to run thing here, sorry for making you go all the way in this snow, boss."
"I can imagine, it took me half the morning to get here with the brig. Hmm...what is an Iwa team doing here?"
"Either they come for the diamond or just to provoke us." Kimura growled. "As if they hasn't caused enough damage to the world already."
"Whatever that is...our base is in danger of being detected, we don't need some stupid outsiders to attack us " Hakuno said. "Our base is not-"
"Our force hasn't yet grown strong enough to survive, let alone fighting with someone." Tsuki finished the line. "85 percents of our men are mere civilians who have more productive works than fighting...and the remains are outcasts. We can't win the fight against the whole village."
"Then what are we supposed to do if they call the shot? I'm sure as hell not going to hide from them!" Kimura loudly spoke.
"Calm down, Kimura-san..." Naruto told him. "I can understand your anger but we need you to think clearly in this."
"This is my new home, our home Naruto-sama...I don't want to run away again."
"Kimura-san..." Hakuno said in silence.
"Boss, we need your power." Tsuki started his speech as everyone turned their eyes on him. "This is a tracking mission, we need your clones to head for the diamond mine and search for the enemy's trail. We cannot afford to wait when the Iwa might be onto us."
Almost immediately, 5 clones of Naruto popped up without him to do any hand seals.
"You all know what to do...and take care of yourself." The boss ordered as they gave a nod and then disappeared.
