He hesitated. "What? You want me to infiltrate Konoha?" He frowned with disbelief. "But aren't they.."
"Yes," Zenshin replied. "It will be a difficult mission, but I'm sure you can handle it." He handed the boy a map and a small picture. "You are going to step into the village border as this boy," he said, pointing to the picture.
Kitai studied it carefully. He raised his eyebrows. "Wow…he looks just like me!"
Zenshin smiled faintly. "Exactly. Your transformation jutsu is fine for a while, but you cannot ever underestimate the enemy. I have been told that is your habit. Luckily, you greatly resemble this boy, so looks won't be a problem."
Looking doubtfully up at his new chuunin teacher, he asked, "Aside from his ninja techniques, I don't know what he's like. Shouldn't we get that down, first?"
Again, Zenshin smiled. "I'll get to that. Once you get to Konoha, just march right in like you own the place." He paused. "Remember, your priority is to get to the hokage's secret files. Not too long ago, the village was attacked by Orochimaru." He watched as the boy narrowed his eyes in hate. "Most likely, nearly all jounin and chuunin-level ninja will be out on missions, which leave most of the genin for the lower-ranked tasks inside the village." He began to explain the character of the boy Kitai was to be impersonating.
"As you see, this will be harder than it sounds." He peered down at his student. "But, even as a mere genin, I have absolute faith that you will pull this off." He patted Kitai's messy hair. "Tomorrow morning, you will walk through Konoha's gates returning from a solo D-rank escort mission as Uzumaki Naruto."
"Hey, Naruto! Welcome back." Kitai turned. "How'd the mission go?" one of the guards called out.
Oh no, I'm late. "Ehh, I was invited to stay an extra day!" he said. "They were grateful so there was a big dinner with their family last night!" he grinned wide.
Exchanging looks with Izumo, the guard shook his head. "Typical. You're late; the Third is waiting for your report!" Kotetsu warned.
"Got it!" Kitai called out as he made his way to the hokage's office.
Once the boy was out of sight, Izumo sighed. "Sometimes... I'd rather go on a simple mission like that," he said lazily, "than stay here at the gates."
"Yeah, like chasing around a lost cat and then 'escorting' the damned thing back to its owner's gigantic property right outside the village is anywhere near exciting," the other chuunin retorted.
Izumo raised an eyebrow at his partner's reply. "With you, everything's boring."
Kotetsu snorted.
"You're jealous, too; just admit it."
"Oh boy, those stupid traps," Naruto muttered under his breath. "They may catch a bear, but they can't catch me! Hehe." He stopped in his tracks. "Eh?" Unless he was mistaken, he saw himself further up running through the village gates in the direction of the hokage's building.
He hid himself behind a tree. Hmm…
After quickly performing a basic ninjutsu, he crawled out of hiding and entered Konoha without notice. He then broke the jutsu and caught up to the imposter, ready to pounce.
Another mission? Already? I wonder what it's about. As Hinata turned a corner, she stopped, frozen. Eh? Two Narutos!? "Naruto!"
"H-hey! Hinata! Did the old man call you, too?"
Hinata looked flustered. "Ahh…um…"
Kitai jumped and whirled around, facing Naruto. Four shuriken sliced into the ground where his feet had been.
"Hey you!" Naruto landed in front of his copy, kunai only centimeters from Kitai's face. Kitai blocked the strike with his own. "Talk!"
With a cheeky smirk, Naruto's copy whirled around, kicked him down and stabbed him. A second later, he vanished.
A shadow clone! Naruto watched closely from where he hid. He had been just about to pounce on him when he saw a clone go after Kitai first. Man, whoever this guy is…he's good, Naruto thought. He made his clone appear to be the real me, and then had the 'real me' actually be another clone; proving his identity. And this was done all in front of Hinata. He frowned, and then raised his eyebrows. Hey wait—I still need to go after him!
"Eh! You imposter!" Naruto yelled. "Get back here!"
"…Huh?" Hinata stood confused as Naruto raced past her.
Fives minutes later, Naruto was still chasing his double. What's going on? He stopped. What the…? He examined his surroundings, tree by tree. Cursing, he realized he was caught. Damn! A genjutsu!
"Hey, kid!" Kitai popped out from behind a tree. Leaning against it, he folded his arms. He then reverted back to his true self. "Hehe, I caught you!" he said with his cheeky grin.
Naruto froze. He delayed from dispelling the jutsu. He…did he just change back? Or…or is that how he really looks? Baffled, he could do nothing but stare. He watched in utter confusion as Kitai walked over to him, pulling out a kunai. Once he reached Naruto, he placed the knife by his throat. "How can you even let me get near you? You shouldn't allow yourself to be killed so easily."
Naruto swallowed. He was frozen. Fear? Come on, Naruto. Move it!
Kitai stepped back, tucking his knife away. He looked annoyed. "You can't break genjustu?"
"Heh," Naruto smirked. He leaped forward, pinning Kitai to the ground. "You shouldn't have put your kunai away." A half-second later, he was staring at grass. Damn! He turned around, facing Kitai. His timing with those stupid clones is so fast! It was definitely the real one when he came close to me like that, so when did he—?
"Are you going to do something or not?" Kitai taunted. "Come on."
"Man, you are really pissing me off!" Naruto spun around and shouted, punching Kitai. Except the Kitai was a shadow clone, too. Naruto turned around again. He was gone.
"Hey—! What's with all the weird clones!?" he steamed. But he faked a genjutsu? How!?
If you having anything to say to this, say it! Feedback is MUCH appreciated :D
