I do NOT own Naruto or any of its characters. I repeat I do Not own Naruto or any of its characters.

Hokage's office…

"Okay, good job team seven on your mission to retrieve Tora." All of team seven, especially Naruto, were covered with scratches everywhere. He continued, "today you will be painting fences, walking dogs, weeding gardens, and…" Iruka was interrupted by a very upset blond, "NO MORE! Come on jiji isn't there any better missions, we've been doing these chores for weeks!" he whined.

"Naruto, you are still a genin fresh out of the academy you can't go demanding harder missions, learn your manners."

"Now now Iruka," Hiruzen said, "let's see what Kakashi has to say about this, after all they're his team."

"Okay homage-sama. Well Kakashi?"

"So far they have greatly improved in their team formations and overall teamwork so I believe they are ready."

"YATTA!" Naruto yelled

"I'm not done yet Naruto," Kakashi said, " because C-rank missions usually take place outside of the village, thus making it more dangerous. In order to do this mission you have to remove your mask and henge."

"What are you talking about Kakashi?" Iruka asked, but before he could get an answer Naruto said "How do you know about that!" Naruto was slightly surprised but mostly annoyed.

"How could I call myself your sensei if I didn't?"

Naruto looked to the ground, "Um Kaka-sensei, what are you talking about what mask and henge?" Sakura asked

"Hn" Sasuke said, he was actually very curious what Kakashi was talking about but he didn't want to say anything he was the last Uchiha he shouldn't be interested about the dobe.

"It's nothing." Naruto answered a little too quickly.

"*sigh, Naruto you can't keep your mask up forever you know, it's only going to hinder your abilities." The old kage said

Naruto had nothing to say, he sighed, "Fine, but don't be surprised if this turns out badly."

"Good, now please release your henge right now, Naruto." Hiruzen said

Naruto made a hand sign and in a puff of smoke where Naruto used to be stood a 5 foot 5 blond haired shinobi. He was wearing black anbu pants that were tapped at the ankles and black shinobi sandals. His t-shirt was also black but on the arm openings (what do you call those? :p) were red flames, and underneath his shirt he had fishnet that went down, on his arms, to his elbows. Over his shirt he had a coat like Minato's but instead of being red and white it was, once again, black with red flames and had the kanji for death on the back. He also had to katana's on his back they had black handles and the sheaths were red with yellow lines running down it. His clothes were not the only things that had changed though. His hair was now longer like Minato's and his face was more angular and his eyes looked more relaxed, in short he looked like a mini fourth hokage.

"Sensei?" Kakashi whispered, "Wow Naruto I knew you were using henge but I never expected you to look so...different."

"He's as hot, no hotter than Sasuke-kun." Sakura thought while her inner self was drooling

"Naruto! You have a lot of explaining to do!" Iruka was mad at Naruto for keeping something like this hidden from him, but he was also hurt that Naruto didn't trust him.

"Naruto-Baka! What happened to you?"

"Hn"

"I'll tell you later, Haruno, Uchiha." Naruto said in an icy tone

"What! He called me Haruno, what happened to Sakura-Chan?!" Sakura thought

"How did the dobe keep this hidden from us, he's never looked like that the academy… Wait, that means Naruto has known henge since he was 8...and has been able to hold it for long periods of time." Sasuke was now even more curious what Naruto was hiding

"Good Naruto, now for your mission." Hiruzen said, almost everyone had forgotten about the mission, "Your mission is to escort Tazuna to the Land of Waves, you may come in now."

In stepped an older man with grey spiky hair and a beard. He had a sake bottle in his right hand and had a strong stench of alcohol. He was carrying a small package on his back that looked as if it was a wrapped up tube. Around his neck he also had a towel. "Eh, so all I get is an emo, an ugly girl, and a one eyed scarecrow… The blonde is the only decent one out of the whole lot of them."

Kakashi had to hold back Sakura from punching the man.

"Team seven your mission is to start at 7 am tomorrow, meet at the front gates. Don't be late Kakashi or I will burn all of your precious books and not allow you in any stores that sell them, I could even make it impossible to borrow the book from anyone." Kakashi gulped, "H-hai, hokage-sama."

"Good, now you may all leave, I believe that you have some matters to discuss but I would like Naruto to stay for a minute."

After all of Naruto's teammates left Hiruzen said, "Follow me Naruto."

Naruto followed him to an old safe, he didn't know what was inside but whatever it was it had several complex seals on it meaning it was important."

"Naruto, I assume because of your intellect you have figured out your lineage."

"Hai"

"Good, then I have some scrolls to give you once you're back, I won't give them to you now because you will need to focus while on your mission"

"Arigato, Hokage-sama."

Naruto disappeared in a swirl of wind, lightning, and water, resulting in it looking like a mini storm.

XxX XxX XxX

Naruto arrived on the meeting bridge for team seven, he appeared in the mini storm again alarming everyone, "What was that Naruto-Baka, you nearly scared me to death!" Sakura screeched

"A shinobi should be prepared and vigilant at all times because if you're not, like just now, it can get you killed." To say that Sakura was shocked would be a huge understatement. She was also hurt because Naruto would say something like that.

"What's with you dobe?"

Naruto glared at him but then sighed, "Well where should I start…"
