Chapter One: The Anbu
He began walking into the Rokudaime's office, wearing a black fox mask with silver lining trimmed to show off the features of the mask. Also wearing the custom attire of the ANBU; a pair of black pants, a black satin tank top and a silver vest concealing the shirt and a pair of silky arm warmers. He had the ANBU tattoo on his upper left bicep. He also had blade gauntlets - for defense, and black gloves, with plates on the flat knuckles and the upper hand. He knocked on the Rokudaime's door, remembering he was only sixteen, and so was the Hokage. Then, he heard a voice call out. "You may enter." He smiled underneath the mask and walked in. "Good Morning Hokage-sama," the ANBU bowed and slowly walked forward. "Hokage-sama, Is there anything new for me?" the Rokudaime smiled. "Of course, I wouldn't want to disappoint my elite ANBU would I, and don't call me that, call me Naruto. Like you used too." he frowned, missing the olden days. "Yes sir, uh Naruto-kun, it's been 4 years this day, and you know who I'm talking about." The Hokage sighed. "Yea, he was my best friend," he said using past tense. "I'm really sorry sir. Anyways, you got something, right?" the ANBU smiled. "Yes, I do. I need you to go to Sunagakure with Anko-chan, and Kakashi-sensei, seeing as both your teammates is stuck with paper work." He smiled. "Yes sir, Besides we used to be ANBU partners when I was in a lower rank. So we don't need to get introduced, by the...by Naruto-kun. Even though you're the Hokage, are you going to try for the Jounin exams?" the ANBU asked curiously. Naruto shrugged. "I might... Anyways, I'll see you soon." The ANBU tilted his mask to the left of his face, to show a smiling face, which had the features of a kitsune. Small nose, whiskers tattooed on his face, and his ears were slightly pointy, the tips covered by dark navy blue hair, that seemed to shine, and was brushed very thoroughly. "Ja ne, Naruto-kun!" with that the ANBU disappeared in a puff of smoke. The Hokage sat down and sighed. "Ja Valentin-kun."
The next morning, Valentin, all packed and ready to go, set off onto his adventure, though this mission is C-ranked, the Hokage let him take his time on getting there.
—Flashback—
Okay so your assignment is just getting to Sunagakure, the mission will then be explained to you afterwards. But it is a C-ranked, and I know you're disappointed but it's all I got right now. But go ahead, take your time getting there, but remember. No more than 4 days, you have a mission remember.
He smiled weakly and slipped the black kitsune mask into a 45 degree angle on the left side of his head, and continued walking forward. Taking a day to relax and spend some yen, he decided it's business time, and took off towards the direction of Suna, the land of Sand.
When the ANBU arrived at Suna after two days of constant travel, he was given a nice room, which showed the cavern of which Sunagakure was hidden in. The Kazekage told him he could rest for the rest of the night.
Rested and nimble once again, the ANBU went to the Kazekage's office. Many Suna nin were about running errands, not even paying attention to him. He shrugged and continued on. Finally arriving at the top of the building, he knocked on the Kazekage's door. He heard a mix of a rasp, and a whisper of a voice, "Come in," he said then coughed. He slowly opened the door and walked in to see someone not much older than the Rokudaime. He also saw, a red-haired girl that had the appearance of a little cat's face. She giggled when he walked in still wearing his mask. She smiled up at him and walked out of the room. "That's Koneko-chan, better stay clear when she's had cookies." Scratching his head confusedly, the ANBU walked forward and placed some documents on the table. "You must be Kazekage Sabaku no Gaara, am I right?" Gaara smiled, "Yes I am, how do you know me?" Valentin slid his mask to the left side of his face. "We were in the Chuunin and Jounin exams together, we were paired twice." Gaara smiled, took out some papers and slid them across the desk. "Your mission is to bring a Special Jounin to Konohagakure, in threats that she is the last of one of the strongest clan in the ninja colonies. Can you do this?" Valentin smiled. "Of course, why else would I be an elite ANBU squad captain," Valentin chuckled. "It says your name is Valentin, but you have no last name. Are you perhaps...Kuroneko?" the Kazekage asked. The ANBU elite snickered, slipped the mask back on showing the black kitsune face, and positioned himself in the Uchihas counter fist style technique. "Why who else can have this mask? It's custom made." Then the ANBU drew his Daito, half way, showing black mysterious metal, with a red kitsune etched near the blade guard. "Who am I escorting to Konohagakure?" he asked the Kazekage and sheathed the sword, hearing it click into place. Gaara smiled, "Why it's none other than Koneko-chan!" He smirked evilly at Valentin, when Koneko came in, it turned into a innocent smile. Valentin smacked his head. "Kami…" Koneko came up and hugged the ANBU. "Of course, I am your superior!" The ANBU shook his head. "On the contrary, I am in charge of this mission, I'm not an average ANBU. I'm elite, about one rank above Special Jounin, and one rank below SS Jounin." She pouted, and Valentin sighed. "But you can be my superior, I guess..." he turned away blushing, happy that his mask was blocking his emotions. Koneko giggled, and grabbed his arm. "Come on, I already made everyone pack your stuff, let's goooo!" She said stretching the last word. Gaara smiled again, "Such a cute hyper girl..." then went back to doing his paper work.
It took five days to escort the Jounin back, because she was occasionally stopping and staring at toys, ramen, trinkets and jewelleries - and she made Valentin buy her Miso Ramen, though it wasn't as bad as he thought. She even called it a date, just to mess with his mind more than she usually does. When they were about to leave she begged Valentin to buy her some chocolate chip cookies, and she used her puppy dog eyes for it. "Fine!" Valentin grumbled. "Just stop doing that," he huffed, walked into the store and came out with two bags of cookies.
After two more days of traveling, of eating ramen - and of messing with Valentin's emotions some more, they finally made it to Konohagakure.
Koneko slept in Valentin's bed all bunched up and wrapped in blankets. He smiled and closed the door. Let's give her some rest. He thought to himself. Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the Hokage's office. "Sir, I have completed the mission. The escort is in my house, resting at the moment. When she wakes up, I'll bring her directly here." Naruto smiled. "That's good Valentin-kun, I don't have anything right now. But right now you are placed under her command." Valentin immediately collapsed when he said that. A few minutes later he came to and stood up. "Not again, sir…" Naruto smiled. "Too bad, she is one of my best friends, ask her about her kitty. Anyways, you do what she asks, and yes; you're getting paid extra for this." Valentin smiled. "She made me go broke within two days, Naruto-kun," he said while Naruto was patting his back. "Okay, but you better go check up on her." Valentin sighed. "It can't be that bad, she is just like us when we were younger." Valentin smiled at the good memory. "It'd be good to have someone who still has some innocence left." With that, the ANBU left to return; to find her still asleep. He fell asleep on the couch, since she looked so peaceful like that.
