Helloo Fellow Naruto fans and random passerbys! Thank you for checking out the first chapter of my shtoreh! Now, sorry for those who have read the chapter and are growling at me right now because I just edited it. Now basically my edits were spelling and grammer mistakes. I did add some discriptions for Yajuu, and took some stuff out, but over not much changed from the original chapter.
So, if you wish to reread this chapter you can, or if you don't that's fine with me. I promise not to hunt you down if you don't read the edited version.
Thank you again for reading!
Yajuu Ref Sheet link is slightly retarded... Because I'm not sure how to add links into the story. I will add the link onto my Profile, if I can figure out how! So! If you wish to look at her reference sheet it is on my Deviantart. My name is Fancyravioli
"Hana." A tall brunette man smiled. He was dressed in fancy robes made for a king. The new mother of the child smiled at her new born.
"The princess of the Kingdom of Flowers. Hana." The woman said, as if she couldn't believe it the first time her daughter's name was said. The pink coloured baby was starting to get blood flowing through her, making her turn a little paler. She slept soundlessly while being rocked gently by her mother.
"We'll give her the wolf, Inugami." The child's father said, gaining only a nod from his wife.

"Sasuke, here at point B."
"Sakura, here at point A."
"…Naruto, here at point C, dattebayo!"
"You're slow Naruto." Silence filled the earpieces of the squad members, waiting for the next order to move. A black flash sprinted through the bushes and a deep voice softly yelled, "The target has moved! Follow it!" The three preteens jumped behind trees, watching the black mass move quickly through the trees. The silver haired man sat back and watched from a distance. "What's your distance from the target?" He asked.
A blonde boy with whisker like scars on his cheeks answered, "Five meters. I can go at anytime, dattebayo."
When the signal was given, the three teens jumped out for the mass. The blonde jumped faster and grabbed the furry ball quickly. He landed on his back while the cat stomped on his face and clawed him violently. He was crying out in pain while his pink haired team mate watched with delight. A black haired boy, the blonde's third team mate was speaking with their sensei about the cat, figuring out if it was in fact their target.
"Alright the mission to capture the missing pet Tora is complete." The teens' sensei said happily. His hidden smile was soon whipped out when a horrendous amount of feedback shot into his ear from the blonde screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Isn't there a mission with a greater sense of urgency!"
-X—
The raven haired male walked behind his happy team, watching them with a bored expression. The pink haired girl held the cat gently, gaining the cats affection. The blonde boy was rubbing his cut up cheeks and pouting.
"Baka cat. You don't deserve any of Sakura-chan's kindness. Nope! You should be thrown into a pit of vicious dogs, dattebayo."
Sakura glared at Naruto and smacked the back of his head. "Knock it off Naruto-kun! This is your own fault!" She continued to pet and coo at the purring cat. Naruto watched the two interact and blushed. Kakashi didn't do anything but read his book while they walked.
Sasuke took this chance to silently slip away. Something caught his eye, causing him to stray from his team and off onto another street. He caught sight of a girl about his age that he'd never seen before. She had thick brown hair that stopped at her shoulders. He couldn't tell if she was a ninja or not, because he was stuck following her from behind slowly. Sasuke was about to calmly walk past her, to see who she was, but she turned her head and looked straight at him. She had a wolf Anbu mask pushed to the side of her head, a shining green eye locking with his dark eyes. He stood frozen as she continued to walk forward, turning her glance forward once again. She knew he was following her from the very beginning.
He quickly jumped away and met up with his team again to find they noticed he'd gone missing.
"Sasuke-kun! Where'd you go?" Sakura whined loudly. He ignored her and continued to walk. Kakashi could sense the shock on the Uchiha. Naruto was glaring at Sasuke once again for the simple fact that Sakura was worried about Sasuke and not him.
-X—
The four stood watching with disgust and horror as a rather large woman rubbed her face against the cat's while wailing, "My adorable Tora! Mommy was sooo worried!" Naruto smirked and snickered. The wife of the land of fire's feudal lord, Daimyo, was torturing the poor cat.
Madame Shijimi shoved her cat into a small cat carrier and left the room while Naruto said to himself, "Serves him right, dattebayo. Baka cat."
An old man sat in the front of the room, large glass windows behind him showed the Hokage faces on the rocks. He was holding a paper in his hand while reading off new missions for Team 7 to take on. "Hm? An errand to the neighboring town….to baby-sit the chief Councilor's son. Or helping dig up potatoes… eh.."
The man wasn't able to finish reading off the list as Naruto stomped his foot onto the ground, his legs spread wide and his arms up in an 'X'. "Noooo!" he shouted in anger. "No! No! No, thank you!" He shouted repeatedly and stopped his foot over and over, legs still spread wide. "I want a more exciting mission!"
Sasuke silently smirked behind Naruto, agreeing with the obnoxious kid. Though he would've said it in a less annoying way. Sakura was just pissed. She was embarrassed to be even around the blonde. And, Kakashi was expecting this completely, he was just wondering how long it would take for Naruto to star complaining. Naruto just didn't understand the chain of power.
"Baka! You're still just a rookie! How dare you think you can just move up the ladder like that!" Iruka started to lecture the kid.
"But! But! These missions are just bleh!" He said yelled back at his old sensei before being roughly punched on the top of his head forcing his body on the ground. He quickly sat up and rubbed the top of his head in pain.
"Requests pour into the village every day. They range from baby-sitting to assassinations. These missions are the recorded into the request list by difficulty. They are separated into the categories A, B, C, and D. Everyone below me is ranked by Jounin, Chuunin, and Genin. The Jounin take care of A level missions, Chuunin get B and C missions, and Genin get C and D level missions." The old man stood up with a scroll in his hand pointing to it with an annoyed look on his face. "If we are successful then we are paid by the client for completing the mission. Nevertheless, you have just become Genin so don't expect to get anything more interesting!"
"Yesterday I had pork-boned broth noodles for lunch, so today will be miso." Naruto explained to his team mates, the three of them listening to the blonde intently.
"Listen!" The old man said. Kakashi blushed and nodded, apologizing to the man.
"You are always lecturing me, old man Hokage! I'm not some stupid little prankster anymore!" Naruto defended himself. Kakashi knew he was going to be lectured later on for Naruto's behavior. Naruto just sat with his back to everyone at the request table, pouting with his arms crossed.
"Fine." The Hokage seemed to say in irritation, despite the smile on his face. Sasuke looked up at the man as well as Sakura. The Hokage continued to smile, but now it was much more sinister. "You guys can have a C rank mission. You'll be bodyguards for someone." He said.
Naruto turned around quickly and slapped his hands to the floor, yelling out excitedly, "Who! Who! A feudal lord? A princess?" the Hokage just nodded at a ninja standing next to the room's door. "Let him in." He ordered.
Team 7 turned to the door curiously and waited for the surprise guest to show themselves. Though when they saw a drunk man leaning on the door way with a bottle of alcohol in his hand. "A bunch a squirts? Particularly the smallest one with the stupid look on his face, are you really a Shinobi?" He asked pointing at Naruto. Naruto stood up and laughed.
"Who's the smallest one with the idiotic look on his face?" he asked, looking up at Sasuke and Sakura who were standing on both sides of him. They just looked down at him till he started to glare at the old man. "I'M GONNA KILL YOU OLD MAN!" he yelled at the drunk while Kakashi held him back.
The squad sensei sighed as he held onto Naruto saying, "What good would it do to kill the person you're supposed to be guarding, baka?" The old man finished chugging his sake and smirked. "I'm Tazuna, a bridge builder in the Land of the Waves. You will be risking your life to keep me safe until my bridge has been finished."
Naruto sighed and turned away. Kakashi looked at the Hokage and nodded, "We'll take it." He said and started to leave the room, dragging Naruto with him.
"Wait! Before you leave." The Hokage said and sat down. "I need to introduce you to someone else." Sasuke looked at the Anbu masked person standing next to the Hokage. Inside he leapt out of his skin. 'Was she there this whole time? Why didn't I notice it?' He thought to himself, an angered look on his face. Kakashi looked at the Anbu faced kunoichi. She came from nowhere. He took in her features.
Brown hair that stopped mid-way between her shoulders and her chin. He could see that much with the mask blocking her face. She wore a wolf Anbu mask with red designs shyly painted onto the white surface. She had on a black strapless sports bra with a long sleeved fishnet shirt over top it. From her elbow down she wore black, loose wrist covers that stopped at the middle of the back of her hand and were connected to her hand with a jewel string and a knuckle ring on her middle finger. This was on both arms. Then she wore the normal black shinobi kapris but with a slight modification. On her left leg her pant leg was white instead of black. Her Kuni holster hid the seam that was the change between two colors. Yajuu also wore blue ninja sandals. On her left hand she wore another ring with flower petals on it, shaped to look like the ring was wind and the petals were flying through the wind. And on the two knuckle rings were the petal ninja symbol. She sure was a kunoichi Anbu, but was still so young. Kakashi couldn't judge her completely, for he was a prodigy child himself.
Sasuke knew this girl's features already, seeing her before hand in the streets. But this time she had her mask on fully instead of half way covering her face. Naruto was tilting his head to the side, confused. "Wait… Why are we meeting her?" Naruto asked curiously. Sakura sighed, embarrassed, though she didn't know what the point of this was either, but she wouldn't admit to it.
The Hokage smiled and held his hand open at her. "She is an Anbu Black Ops and the newest member of Team 7. Yajuu."
