"Shit, shit, shit! I'm gonna be late!" yelled Naruto angrily as he was running past his favorite Raman shop. "Today is my first solo mission and I definitely don't want to be late."
He burst through the door to the Hokage's office announcing his presence to the village."NARUTO UZUMAKI IS HERE FOR THE MISSION!"
"SHUT UP YOU BAKA! THE WHOLE VILLAGE DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW!!" Naruto grumbled knowing that if he argued he'd just get hurt.
"So what do I…" he trailed off hearing the slight moans coming from behind the door. As he went to investigate, he noticed the white fuzz. That fuzz seemed familiar somehow. He opened the door to check it out. "Is that…?"
"Ah! Hinata!" exclaimed Naruto. "Hinata! Hinata, are you O.K.?"
The young kunoichi behind the door looked up at him and immediately fainted from the combined shock of the door hitting her in the forehead and her love looking down on her only a few inches from her face.
"Ah Hinata wait I… Dammit. She fainted."
"Leave her for now Naruto. I have to talk to you about the mission now." He gently laid her down against the wall in the far side of the room so she wouldn't get hit by the door again.
"Now, this is an "A"-rank protection mission. However, the chances of you actually being found AND attacked are now very good. Now you probably think that this should not be an "A"-rank mission. Well, I have three answers for you. 1) I don't care what you think but I'll be nice and explain. 2) Even though the mission does not seem dangerous, it is the client who is so important. He is the leader of the most prominent clan in the river country and he is marrying the daughter of the leader of the most prominent clan in the hidden village of cloud. 3) If the client wants to pay for an "A"-rank mission, I say let him. This is your first "A"-rank mission so make sure it does well. I was planning on sending you on this one solo. But, Hinata was the only one to not get a mission in the past two days and she was feeling left out. So, I'll let you fill her in later." Just as she was finishing, Shizune came running into the room opening the door so fast, the doorknob went through the wall.
"Oops. Oh well, I'll fix it later. Lady Tsunade, the cloud village clan leader is waiting at the gates and let's just say he is not a very patient man."
"O.K. that fine, Naruto was just leaving," she responded glaring at Naruto. Naruto seemed to be in a trance. He hadn't been paying attention since he was so interested in the wall behind him.
"Huh? Oh, right the mission!" He started running out the door and down the hall. Tsunade quickly got up from her desk and yelled at him from the doorway.
"Hey, baka! Forgetting something?"
Naruto stopped. He thought about all the things he told himself to do before the mission. 'Hmm, I went to the little ninja's room. I ate, took a nap, said goodbye to everyone before their missions, ate again, took another nap….'
Tsunade decided to help him out. "What about Hinata?"
"Oh, yeah!" He ran back into the Hokage office and looked at Hinata. She seemed so peaceful there he just wanted to watch her. Then he shook that feeling off remembering that if he spent much longer in her office he's be dead before the mission even started. He began to reach between her legs to carry her fire man style but then blushed and quickly pulled his hands away. He contemplated this for a moment before deciding a piggy back would be the best way. And safest way since Tsunade was still watching.
Finally he picked her up and carried her as fast as he could to the village gate where he met the client. He looked him over for a moment before deciding not to judge him by his looks. His gaze then fell on Hinata.
"What the hell is she doing sleeping?!"
"Well, she got hit in the head and then passed out. She'll be up soon. I'll take care of her, don't worry."
"Just don't slow me down. I want to get married quickly so that our clans can combine."
"No problem," exclaimed Naruto. "I got you covered." With that, the three took off on what would be the most difficult and interesting mission they would ever go on.
