Heart of Death
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Chapter 1; Darkness appearance.
The morning sun bore down on Konoha in all its slender, the morning dew sparkled in the morning sun. A blanket of diamonds was how the third Hokages had once described it.
The light pored into Naruto's bedroom; he opened one eye and looked at his clock, 7.30 too early to get up. He closed his eyes again waiting for sleep to take him, however Naruto suddenly found himself been dragged out of bed.
"Kakashi!"
The grey haired ninja gave Naruto a smile, not the Naruto saw it.
"Why did you drag me out of bed? Wait how the fuck did you get in here?" Naruto pouted at the older man.
"You left your window open again Naruto" the older man flipped a page of his book, simply pointing to Naruto's bedroom window.
Naruto had a bad habit of leaving his window open when he went to bed, it had got him in trouble on more than one occasion.
"Sensei's aren't meant to break in and drag their students out of bed" Naruto said as he claimed back into bed. Kakashi grabbed his foot and dragged the tanned teen out again.
"Fuck off" Naruto sat crossed legged on the floor, his pout increasing in intensity.
"Lady Tsuande want's to see us in thirty minuets at her office" with that the perverted man disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Naruto took a quick shower and changed into his cleanest clothes, at five to eight Naruto trudged into the Hokages building. The place was in chaos there were ninja all over the place, each seemed to be busy with maps and charts. Naruto a little excited with the activity raced to the Hokages office.
Naruto burst into the office to find that he was the last to arrive.
Kiba, Shino and Hinata were sat on the Hokages couch, Akamaru was laid at Kiba's feet. Ino and Sakura were sat in the two recliner chairs that sat next to the couch. Shikamaru and Choji were at the side of the door, Choji was munching on some crisps silently. Neji and Tenten were standing at the side of the Hokages desk, Lee was doing some press ups in the middle of the room.
"Your...early Naruto" Tsuande said from behind her desk.
It was unusual for her to say those words to Naruto normally he was at least ten minuets late.
"Since your all here I'll make this brief" Everyone tuned their focus to the blond Hokage.
"Last night over two hundred and fifty prisoners were been transferred from an asylum, they were to pass through the fire country. However they all escaped when a group of bandits, nearly all of them have been recaptured. Mainly because two hundred and ten of them were killed, of the forty others thirty nine have been caught."
Shikamaru put his hand up to speck, Tsuande gave him a nod.
"Are we been assigned to go after this man?"
"No, you mission is to go and bring the caught men back. You're going to be working with..."
The Hokage was cut off when a Naruto asked a question.
"So were babysitting...Just great"
"Naruto, these men are not just any men. Their solders and ninja that have lost their minds, this is an A class mission."
"So their still been caught..."
"Fine Naruto you can go with the Ambu..."
Naruto was about to boast when something hit him, Ambu were only sent out of the village on S class missions. Shikamaru asked the Hokage who this man was.
"His code name was 'Death' he was an elite ninja trained since birth to be an assassin. He's the one that killed all the other prisoners and caught the others, he also known to be a master of Jutsu. So still want to go after him Naruto..."
Every one looked at the teen; his head was hung as he looked at his options. Lose face and take the easy job or go and get killed by some loon. He took in a long breath, and gave one of his foxy grins.
"I'll bring him back, Believe it"
