Chapter 1 – One bite
There was a team of gennin. There were totally three of them together with their jounin sensei, his name was Hatake Kakashi and his team got (un)lucky number 7. Why? Well some considered the number Seven to bring band luck. Teams numbered 7 members always died young and very short after team were formed. Yet it was not this team seven cause, not yet. Again, why? They were formed as team just yesterday and today they got their first D-rank mission, inside of the village and they were supposed to clean part of forest. Who could he died on such mission?
The current team 7 considered of jounin sensei Hatake Kakashi, rookie of the year Uchiha Sasuke, the smartest kunoichi of the year Haruno Sakura and the 'dead last' Uzumaki Naruto. The teams had so be balanced that was why Naruto was at the same team as two best students of his year.
"So we are to clean this part of forest today," announced always late and lazy looking jounin with silver gravity defying hair. No he was not old, he was just "naturally" gray haired. Wonder if he had gray hairs. Once he announced his team's today's mission, the three grunted and reluctantly started to clean forest from all the trash some people throw away here.
After some while, there was a hungry grumble of someones stomach. And yes it was the tummy of the blonde self proclaimed future Hokage which was making ungodly noise. Some could have mistaken it for an angry boar or hungry bear. Then a great idea occurred in the blonde's head. Being not most sharp kunai in the pouch, he just decided to eat something. He was in the forest and those red mushrooms with white dots looked quite tasty.
Luckily for the innocent and naive boy his jounin warned him right in time, just before the blonde put the mushroom into his mouth. After his instructor explained him, that he should not eat anything in the forest since it could be poisonous. Yet it did not solved the boys hunger problem, he just couldn't go on empty stomach and it was protesting louder and louder. Being the dead last a kind of idiot with bad short term memory, he forgotten his sensei's advice and bit the first thing that looked eatable. He completely ignored its weird appearance and tasted it.
"Yucky!" he said once he swallowed the first bite. Never in his life he ate anything so disgusting. And since he was preoccupied with rather nasty taste in his mouth and starting stomach ache, he ignored black and white plant looking fruit, he just bite, as it was running away and screaming bloody murder.
His team was not so ignorant and once they heard shouting from the direction their teammate and student went, they decided to check on him, to find him laying on the ground with the foam coming from his mouth and dilated eyes. So much for not dying on the first mission.
AN: Short is it? And Naruto is dead? What? Don't worry some thing will be cleared when another chapter comes out.
Oh and for those who did not realized, the black and white plant looking fruit is Zetsu. Then what was Zetsu, the Akatsuki spy, doing in the Konoha suspiciously close to villages jinchuuriki?
