Created by: HaganeSpirits
Fyuhh! My second Fan Fiction about Naruto! At least you don't have to wait for long for the next chapter, cause I have sent four chapters for this story. But because of it, I must cut the story only 3-4 pages each chapter. Well, I'll spend my time to continue Hidden Scroll. Please review me!
Chapter I: A Miserable Mission?
One time in Konohagakure, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke brought about their mission level C. The mission is about to help the Hokage 5th to sent a letter to Mizukage in Kirigakure. Hatake Kakashi, as their teacher, accompanied them in the trip. Naruto started to complaint about the complicated of the mission when they will leave the Konohagakure.
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, why we get some simple mission like this? This is so boring. Could you just say to the Tsunade baa-chanto give this mission to the Lower-Genin?"
"Oh, shut up, Naruto. All you do every time is just complain, complain, and complain. Is that all you can do now?" Sakura seems not in a good mood this day.
"Well Naruto, why don't you just talk to Hokage by yourself? I'm too good want to accompany you, so don't cause me again about it. Why? Are you scared? I hope we still can get some good missions. Do you want to try it?"
"Of course! Wanna get some rumble!"
"Hey, wait a minute. What do you mean by 'rumble'?" Sasuke shrank his forehead and looked to Naruto who stood with a fist held up to the top and his left foot treads on a rock (it remembering me about ultraman ;). Kakashi just shook his head and sighed. More shocked at Sakura. She opened her mouth so huge and looked to Naruto with empty-eyes.
"Hey Sakura, are you all right?" Kakashi shook his hand in front of Sakura's face and made Sakura regained her conscious. Naruto asked the others to met Tsunade and talked to her. The actually, there's no one who want to accompanied him but, oh well; there's no other choice.
Naruto breaks down the door in Hokage's room and made Tsunade so startled. Ton Ton, her little pig run straights to the under of Tsunade's hand. Tsunade stood up and yelled to Naruto.
"Naruto! Can you stop break down my door! I'm busy now, so don't cause me some trouble! What do you want!" yelled Tsunade to Naruto.
"Tsunade baa-chan! Can you change my mission right now? Give me some B level missions!" Naruto yelled back to Tsunade. Tsunade looked to Kakashi with annoying face and made Kakashi must disappear from Tsunade's view for a few moments.
"What are you waiting for! You have get an important mission and you still don't want to do the missions! What a creep! Don't you know your mission level is A!
"What! A simple mission like this! Uso ja ne!
"BAKA! STILL DON'T BELIEVE WHAT I'M SAYING! ALL RIGHT! KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU! THOUSAND OF SNAILS!" From the top, a thousand of snails fell in the top of Naruto and fell on Naruto with a huge voice. Kakashi and Sasuke just sighed looked to Naruto who struck down with thousand snails, and Sakura shrank her forehead. Tsunade felt better after gave some 'punishment' to Naruto and sat again to her sofa.
"Ouch… That's hurt. All right Tsunade baa-chan, but please tell me. Why you say it's a mission level A?"
"Well, it's a long story. A week ago, Mizukage from Kirigakure sent four shinobi to bring a secret letter to me. But only one shinobi who can reach Konohagakure with a full-wounds on his body. I can't help with his wounds, but I know one fact about it. This wound is because a forbidden jutsu. That's jutsu name is…Seanai Jashuu (hidden snake hand)." Tsunade stop her conversation, drinks a teacup and carried Ton Ton in her arms.
"Wait… If I'm not wrong, that is…"
"Orochimaru's jutsuI guess Kirigakure is in a big trouble. I afraid if I sent an adult shinobi, he will kill it as soon as possible. So I send all of you to do this mission. Its not only just sends the letter, but to watch closely about the situation in Kirigakure. Be careful and watch out for bad situation to survive your self. Ok, that's all. Please get out from my 'ROOM' and do the mission right now!" Tsunade stood up and kicked Naruto and the others to outside and then she rattled the door so hard. Naruto only can grumbled in front of Tsunade's room and asked Kakashi to do the mission as soon as possible.
So they stepped out from Hokage's building and went to the Konohagakure's gate. Near the gate, Jiraiya sat in the flat country and wrote something in a book at the same time. Naruto felt something not good about it, so he asked Jiraiya about it.
"Nee, Ero sennin, what are you doing here? Search some story material for your Icha Icha Paradise?"
"Yo, Naruto! I was thinking to search some inspiration, but where I could get it… Sigh. But… I really want to go to Onsen (a bathing place with hot water)! I can't wait to see the girl's body when they take submerged!" Jiraiya's face was so red and it seem he enjoyed it so much. Naruto felt so nauseated about it and Sasuke felt sick when he imagined what Jiraiya's thought. Not like Kakashi, it seems he so excited about it and Sakura, she just got away from they cause she's not able to accepted it.
"Well… See you next time, Ero sennin. Why I must have a teacher like this! Naruto left Jiraiya in there.
Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke felt their breath catch in throats.
Suddenly, a blown of sands jumped at them so quickly and made all of them moved to back. The three sands siblings had appeared in front of them. Gaara, the youngest brother from Kazekage's family; examine Naruto closely with his blue-light eyes. Temari, his sister smiled to Sakura and Kakashi and waved her hands upon them. Kankurou, her brother gazes at Sasuke with contemptible view.
"Hey! What do you want here!" Naruto started to yelled to Gaara. Gaara saw Naruto with resentful eyes and answered Naruto's question.
"You contemptible-rotten creature, shut up your mouth or I will kill you as soon as possible. I don't have a business with you, so got out my way."
"Nani! Don't taunt me! What do you meant by 'contemptible-rotten creature, huh! You jerk-stupid human!" Naruto responded Gaara with some mockery words. Temari tried to stop Gaara, but Gaara acted first. He came near Naruto and made open his hand.
"Die. Sabakukyuu." Gaara made a fist at once.
Clump of sands appeared and fasten Naruto in a second. Naruto tried to release the sands, but he can't. His breath almost exhausted. Sasuke and Kakashi run for Naruto to helped him. Suddenly, thick auras appeared around Naruto. His eyes became red like bloods and his nails became so sharps. And then, the sands spread around because the auras and Naruto freed from it.
Naruto looked to Gaara with his red-blood eyes and started to attacks Gaara. Gaara too late to escaped and in a second, Naruto had been on Gaara's body; ready to slashed Gaara at once. Sakura screamed and shut her mouth with her hand. Sasuke and Kakashi stood stiffed looked to that. Kankurou astonished and impressed when he looked that there is someone who can make Gaara fell down. Temari squeezed his big-fan with trembles hand.
Suddenly, Jiraiya appeared in front of Naruto and withdraws Naruto from Gaara and made IN (seal).
"Ki, Hi, Uchi, Kin, Mizu! FIVE PARTS SEALL!" With his hand, Jiraiya sealed Naruto's Kyuubi seal. Naruto's eyes became blue again and his nails became normal again. Then he fainted and Jiraiya carried Naruto to Kakashi. Temari come near Gaara and tried to helps Gaara, but Gaara hit Temari's hand and stood up by himself.
"What a waste of time. Let's went." Gaara left Naruto and went overland to the north with Temari and Kankurou in his back.
Jiraiya wiped his face with his hand and then he opened Naruto' s clothes. In Naruto's stomach, it's appeared a seal; but not too clearly. Kakashi sighed when he looked at the seal. Sakura and Sasuke didn't understand the situation and asked Jiraiya.
"Ano, sennin-sama, what is this meant? What is this seal?"
"… Do you know about Yondaime, the fourth Hokage?"
"Yes, but what the relationship with this?" Sakura looked to Sasuke and Sasuke only shook his head; meant he didn't know anything.
"Actually… Yondaime is Naruto's father. Twelve years ago. A Kyuubiattacked Konohagakure. Yondaime tried to save this village by sealed the Kyuubiin his son's body. Unfortunately, Yondaime was died because sealed the Kyuubi. And Naruto lived with his body and… It was the place of the Kyuubi sealed. But… it seems the seal had broken out…"
Kakashi looked to Naruto who hasn't wake up yet. Sakura still can't believe it. Sasuke started to think again. He has just understood about Naruto's hidden power after he heard about the explanation.
Not long time past, Naruto regained his conscious and looked around; looking for Gaara and his siblings.
"Hey! Where's they! Run away, huh!" Naruto smiled to the others and made they all relieved. "Hey? Why ero sennin is here? What's the matter?"
"Naruto, can't you remembered what you have done before you went fainted?"
"Huh? What do you meant, Sasuke? I don't understood." Naruto looked to Sasuke with flustered face. Jiraiya hold Sasuke's shoulder and shook his head. Sasuke understood and sighed; and then he looked to Naruto.
"No… It's nothing. Anyway, we must hurry. It's almost 3 o'clock PM."
"WHAT! OH MY GOD! KAKASHI-SENSEI, SAKURA, SASUKE, C'MON! GOODBYE ERO SENNIN! JA NE!" Naruto directed to the outside of Konohagakure and called the other to follows him quickly.
Before Kakashi follows Naruto, Jiraiya asked him to talk for a moment.
"Kakashi, please take care Naruto. I hope that seal will hold out until he done the missions, but if it can't hold out… Please call me. I will saved him no matter what." Jiraiya gives Kakashi a wind-whistle and asked Kakashi to keep it. Kakashi sighed and then he nodded his head. In a second, Kakashi disappeared from Jiraiya's view. Jiraiya breathed and looked to the sky; hope that Naruto and the others will save…
End Chapter I…
