Sasuke opened his eyes he had such a nice dream, it was a pleasant change from his usual dreams, he was sad it had to end. He glanced at his alarm clock it was nearly time to meet with Kakashi and his team for their missions. He knew that he would get some lame ass mission that would put him no nearer to killing the man he once considered to be his brother. Finally he got his feet grabbed his clothes then he went to the bathroom took a shower the he brushed his teeth dressed then went into the kitchen. It had been many years but every time he did he always hoped to see his mom and at the stove his father would be at the table with a cup of coffee getting ready to do his duty as clan head and his mother would say, "Good morning Sasuke-Kun, breakfast will be ready soon," smiling at him as if he could do no wrong. But it wouldn't happen it couldn't happen his mother was dead thanks to that man, and he wouldn't rest until he was dead.

After Sasuke had finished his breakfast he went to Mission Assignment desk, his teammates Sai and Sakura were already their Sai had his fake smile and probably had said something to piss off Sakura because she was now trying to kill him. He really hated his team, his sensei was always late, Sakura was a sorry excuse for a Kunoichi, then Sai he didn't know what to say about him. He tried to be friendly but he said things that ended up pissing everyone off.

"Yo…Sakura don't kill Sai," he turned to see Kakashi standing there, on time.

"So you didn't have any old ladies to help…or no black cats to avoid?" Sakura asked turning her attention to her Sensei.

"The road of life had no obstacles so far," Kakashi said reading his usual book.

"That is good because I have decided to give you all a C-ranked mission," Minato said smiling at his student's antics, "You will have an escort mission to Nami no Kuni. There is a masquerade with some very important people, it is the birthday party for a feudal lord's son and we have gotten and you will be escorting a guest to this party."

"Who is the client?" Kakashi asked. But Sasuke didn't care, he knew this would be a waste of time, he didn't want to baby sit anyone anywhere.

"The client is my daughter. Naruko-Chan please enter?" the door opened and a blond in wearing a loud orange jumpsuit with a blue bandana covering her hair. If Minato hadn't told them it was a girl before him Sasuke would have thought that it was a boy.

"I don't know why I need an escort, and they look lame," Naruko said glaring at them, "and if I do need one, why can't it be Ero-Sennin or Baa-Chan?"

Then her eyes fell on Kakashi, "Kaka-niisan," she said happily running up and hugging him.

"You've gotten big since the last time that I saw you," Kakashi said giving his usual eye smile.

"Really?" she asked her eyes sparkling with happiness.

"Really," he said patting her head.

"Are you sure that's a girl?"Sai asked suddenly everyone went silent and Kakashi quickly stepped back.

"What did you say?"Naruko asked her eyes flashing dangerously.

"He said that you look like a boy, you dress like a boy," Sasuke said coolly she looked murderous.

"Don't forget you have the body of an elementary school boy," Sai said smiling at her.

"I am going to kill you!" she shouted but someone grabbed her picking her off the ground as she tried to kill Sai.

"Sweetie, you cannot kill them…in front of me," Kakashi said.

"Hai, Kaka-nii-San," she answered.

"Why don't you all get ready to head out, Kakashi I need to talk to you still," Minato said. They waited for the young Shinobi to leave.

"Isn't Naruko a genin?" Kakashi asked.

"Hai," Minato answered.

"Then why not send her team?"

"Because, I know what her team is capable of, I want to see what your team can do. Also there is more to this than just a simple escort mission. I heard that a man by the name of Gato is trying to take over Nami no Kuni I want you to investigate then we will decide how we will act after we get your report, this second part is a B-ranked mission."

"Hai, Hokage-Sama," Kakashi said before he vanished.

Sasuke was back at his home gathering his things for his mission, he was glad that he was finally given a real mission but he hated to baby sit a spoiled little rich girl. He made way to the main gate he saw Kakashi waiting there with the Hokage's daughter. She was giggling at something Kakashi has said, she looked up at the Jonin with a look that he had seen many times before. A look he got whenever a girl looked at him.

"You're on time again," Sasuke said watching Kakashi.

"You need to show Kaka-niisan respect Teme," she said glaring at him.

"It seems like there is a girl who can resist the Uchiha charm," Sai said with his fake smile. Sakura showed up just in time to hear the comment about the Uchiha charm. She hit Sai upside the head.

"Don't you dare say anything bad about my Sasuke-Kun!" Sakura shouted after laying him out. Sai got up rubbing the back of his head.

"Calm down ugly, I just said that she man over there doesn't like him…or maybe she does and that is why she called him Teme," Sai said still smiling.

"What did you say!?" both girls shouted in unison.

"Can we try to get along, Sai don't insult your employer, Naruko you can't kill your guard," Kakashi said in his bored tone.

"Fine but you own me ramen when we get back," she said grabbing his arm. Sasuke felt a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach. He didn't know why, he tried to shake the feeling.

"This is going to be a long trip, because we have to go at the little Hime's pace," Sasuke said causing Naruko to release Kakashi's arm. She turned glaring at him.

"You want to travel at my pace, ok we can go at my pace," she said as an evil smirk came across her face.

"Naruko I don't think…" Kakashi said the color draining from his face.

"Just until they are begging to stop," Kakashi just nodded in defeat. Then they were off, Sasuke was surprised to see how fast she was he was barely able to keep up with her and she seemed to be enjoying watching them struggle. A few hours later they took a break Sai looked exhausted Sakura could barely move. Sasuke wasn't going to show how tired he was, he wasn't going to let some pampered Hime show him up.

"It can end anytime just say you were wrong Teme and we can slow down," Naruko said smirking, she could see that his pride wouldn't allow him to admit defeat.

"Sasuke-Kun please, I don't think I can last," Sakura said panting still laying on ground.

"I guess we will have to kick things up a notch," Naruko said smiling.

"No, Naruko you have made your point," Kakashi said, "let's take this time get to know each other. We all know who I am so there is no need for me to go."

"I will go first. I am Namikaze Naruko; I like ramen Kaka-niisan my dad and Genma-Sensei Ero-Sennin Baa-Chan. My dislikes are Temes being called Hime and waiting the three minutes for ramen to cook, my hobbies are training trying new ramen…and my dream is to be seen for who I am an not who my dad is…and I want to become the greatest Hokage ever."

"My name is Sai…I don't like anything and I don't dislike anything, my hobbies are drawing and training, my dreams…I don't have any dreams."

Sakura's introduction was full of squeaks and squeals as she looked at Sasuke, "I am Uchiha Sasuke, I don't particularly like anything, I hate everything else, what I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality. I will restore my clan and kill a certain man."

"Listen to the big man, who he can't even keep up with a Hime," she said in a mocking tone this caused him to glare at her.

"Ok, play nice, let's get going," Kakashi said. It was near night when they arrived. The place that they were staying at was the same place the masquerade would take place the next nights. After Naruko went into her room Kakashi pulled his team aside.

"We need to keep Naruko safe I don't think anything will happen but it is good practice, so we will take turns standing guard," Kakashi said, "or rather you all will, I have people to see," and with that he was gone.

Naruko sat on her bed then she grabbed her things and took a shower. She let the warm water caress her body. The water cascaded down her back causing her long golden locks to conform to her body. She only got out of the shower when she heard someone knocking at her door. She turned the water off and grabbed her towel wrapping it around herself then walked out of the bathroom she opened the door so all that could be seen of her was her head.

"Hello Sakura-Chan," she said smiling at the pink haired kunoichi. Stepping aside to let her in, once Sakura entered the room she feel a little jealous when she noticed Naruko's figure. It was very mature for her age but it was over the top, it was a body that any girl would have killed for.

"Naruko-Hime I brought you some food," Sakura said smiling.

"Please don't call me Hime, it's just Naruko," she said smiling.

"But you're the daughter of the Yodaime Hokage," Sakura said.

"And that is the problem no one ever sees me as anything other than the Yodaime's daughter, I want to be known as Naruko the most kick ass Shinobi ever," she said happily.

"Why do you wear the orange jumpsuit?" Sakura couldn't understand why anyone would want to hide a figure like that.

"It is comfortable and I just love the color!" she said happily. As she dug out her pajamas, a pair of orange boxers and a white tank top then she started to eat the food that Sakura brought up to her, "do you want some?"

"No…I'm on a diet," Sakura said feeling very self conscious.

"Why…you look perfect to me," Naruko said smiling. A blush crossed Sakura's face no one had ever said anything like that to her before.

"I have to go…Sai will be outside if you need anything," Sakura said quickly leaving. Naruko wondered if it was something that she said. But she pushed the thought aside and finished her dinner and went to bed.
