Prologue: The Whirlpool that's Naruko...

Team seven was just getting along with their missions just spectacularly after they were given very, um, responsible missions; things that little kids with siblings would probably do; the ones that were actually much more akin to a civilian kid's chores. Well that's how the genin were looking at it right now.

At the moment, they were all in the Hokage's office, watching as old Madame Shijime squeezed her, 'adoring' cat to death after they had returned her for running away for not the very first time, and it positively probably wouldn't even be the last time.

Kakashi just ignored the ridiculous show that they were being given in favor of listening to the Hokage's next suggestions for missions for his team. That woman and her cat, 'Tora' was a handful, considering almost every Genin has at least had the job of catching her 'lost' **ahem, runaway, ahem** cat. The eccentric plump woman then grasped her cat and walked out of the door as the Hokage kept speaking to squad seven.

But the Hokage hadn't even gotten past four suggestions when everyone got the one adamant refusal that they were all expecting from a very hyper blonde.

"Hell no, old man!" said a brash feminine voice, after hearing the chore-like suggestions.

Kakashi sighed, looking at his bright student, with something akin to disappointment. 'I'm going to get in trouble for this later.'

"Look, I'm a real kunoichi now, and I should get the missions I deserve." Naruko continued her rant, shaking her head furiously, effectively throwing her long blonde pigtails around and into her annoyed teammates' faces. "I'm not the same little girl anymore! Someday, I'm going to be the first lady Hokage, old man! And I can't do that with all these chores being thrown at us." she huffed, crossing her arms, and sitting down cross-legged on the floor, facing the Hokage with her nose tilted in the air, and her face a little flushed from her proclamation.

She wore a black skirt lined with bright orange with the insignia of a red Uzumaki symbol on the lower right-hand corner of it, with red shorts underneath, and her thighs and waist up to her torso were completely taped up in white tape. An orange short-sleeved zip-up jacket with the top parts black as well, and another larger red Uzumaki symbol on the center of the back of her jacket, and a black fishnet shirt underneath it, she wore red bows in her hair and her bangs straightened and hung across her face or on the sides of it, at the least, and her standard navy blue forehead protector was tied loosely around her neck.

Unfortunately, when the slightly tanned scarred Chuunin who just happened to be seated next to the Hokage in a chair beside his desk heard his favorite student's outburst, steam rolled from his ears as he yelled at her. "You still aren't ready for those yet!" he yelled.

"You keep saying that!" Naruko opened one eye lid to reveal cerulean blue, informing her favorite former-sensei. "I'm a ninja now and I want a ninja mission! Believe It!" she said.

Iruka still looked peeved, as he didn't even bother to calm down at her statement.

"Or not…" Naruko shrunk back a little, opening her other eye. "But I'm not going to keep doing these easy missions!"

Her teammates just silently agreed with her.

'She has a point.' Sasuke thought, as he was staring at the blonde that was still cross-legged on the floor in a show of being a kid.

Sakura just kept silent and looked to see what Sasuke's opinion on this was, because she sure was with the blonde haired kunoichi there, she just needs to see what Sasuke thought of it.

Kakashi just sighed again, pulling out his orange book, as he did best. In truth he was expecting her outburst; but he just was kind of hoping that she would just let it go just this once, other than speaking her mind. But, apparently, that was too much to ask for.

The Hokage just stared at Konoha's bright knuckleheaded ninja, whilst smoking his pipe, going into thought. 'She wants to prove she's strong.' he thought. 'That she can take whatever threatens to throw her off of her set path... She really is like you, Minato... Kushina...' he finished with a small smile. "Alright, Naruko," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, puffing out a smoke cloud before resuming smoking his pipe. "If you think you're up for it; your squad will be on patrol; it's a C-ranked mission. There are hidden village ninja spies all over the place—so I don't want you to mess this up. It's serious—even Jounin have trouble sighting out all the spies. I wouldn't want you disappointed, Naru. It's a very important mission." He puffed out another bit of smoke after inhaling through his pipe. "In fact, I think I'll place you in charge were there something to happen to Kakashi."

'Say what?' Kakashi blinked. There wasn't any spy ninjas around. What the hell was the Hokage getting at? 'What a liar…'

'That was it,' the three genin all seemed to think. They're already going on patrol? Maybe Naruko was a much more convincing person than they originally thought. Which wasn't very surprising, to be honest. She's very convincing whenever she wants to be…

'It's just the Whirlpool that's Naruko.' the Sandaime thought.


AN: I know I know… Cliché… But it's the easier way to go; even if it is overdone, and I'm going to take this story a little bit differently.

This story is going to be short; at least 10 chapters long; or maybe even 15. IDK if I want to continue it, yet.

But I'm planning for the chapters to be long. I think. It all depends on the responses I get.
