Title:
This is my first attempt at writing a story. It is not copied off of anything it is an original. It would suck if someone stole it but what're you going to do right? The characters are from shippuden meaning Akamaru is big. I have most of the story finished but it can be altered so ideas are welcome. My first story ever. Here goes nothing!
The sun shone brightly on his face as the birds chirped outside his window. "Another beautiful day" thought Naruto Uzumaki. He got dressed in his usual outfit, an orange and black jump suit, grabbed his forehead protector with the Konohagakure insignia, and rushed to the kitchen. As he ate his usual breakfast, Ramen, he wondered if he would get a mission today. He had just got back from one a couple days ago but was ready for another.
After he finished his Ramen he put away his dishes and stepped outside. Fastening on his forehead protector he took a deep breath and sighed. "Now where to?" As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a figure appeared in the distance.
"NARUTO! Naruto come quick!"
There was no mistaking that voice. It was Sakura Haruno, his team mate and -not so secret- crush. "Coming!" He yelled in her direction, and took off towards her. "What is it Sakura?" he asked with a goofy grin on his face.
"Tsunade wants to see us" she replied
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!

The fifth hokage, leader of the village was wondering why she agreed to the job. "It's just paperwork all day." She thought. "Well I guess it can't be avoided.
"Here m'lady." Said her assistant Shizune, handing her a 2 foot tall stack of papers.
"More?" exclaimed Tsunade "Is there any end to it?"
She was about to start on the new pile when she heard a knock at the door. Glad to have an excuse for not starting on the papers right away, she told them to come in.
"Grandma Tsunade! Do you have a mission for us? I'd love a mission. I've been so bored lately. I mean I just got back from one but-"
"Quiet!" yelled Tsunade "Really, control yourself. We have to wait for Kakashi to get here and I've told you I don't like the nickname Grandma. Im not THAT old."
"What is with Kakashi? He's always late." Thought Naruto
Sakura walked over to her mentor, Tsunade. "Sorry m'lady but once he has a nickname for someone he won't call them anything else."

Meanwhile Kakashi Hatake was sitting on his bed finishing off the latest edition of Make out Paradise. "Even better the eleventh time." He thought to himself. He looked at the clock. "Oh great. I'm going to be late again." He grabbed his forehead protector, fastened it, put one side over his Sharingan eye and hurried out the door.
~~~~~scene break~~~~~
"Kakashi sensei! You're late again!" Naruto said.
"Yeah, sorry about that. You wouldn't believe the traffic."
"Wahtever." Said naruto, folding his arms.
Tsunade glared at Naruto. "Now that kakashi is here I can start. The sand village has requested our assistance. They want to investigate the death of some Jonin but all the squads they've sent out have gone missing without a trace. They believe rougue ninja are behind it so be on your guard at all times. Your mission is to accompany them on the investigation and provide back up when needed. This is a B-rank mission. Understood?"
"Alright!" exclaimed Naruto. "You can count on me!" and with that he ran out the door to start the three day journey to the sand village.
Tsunade sighed "I haven't even dismissed you yet. Oh well. You better catch up with him before he gets into trouble."
"Right! Let's go Kakashi Sensei!" and Sakura ran out the door, Kakashi close behind.

Naruto was standing at the gate when Kakashi and Sakura finally caught up to him. "Let's go guys!" and he ran off leaving Sakura and Kakashi panting at the gate. "See you later guys." Kakashi said to the gate guards.
"Make sure he doesn't get into any trouble." they replied. And with that, Sakura and Kakashi followed after Naruto.

"Here looks like a good spot to stop for the night." Said Kakashi
"Fine," said Naruto frustrated that there was at least 15 minutes left of light. "but we're getting up early."
"Whatever you say Naruto." Said Sakura, rolling her eyes. "Get some rest, we have a long way to travel tomorrow."
"Yeah, okay." Said Naruto.
"I'll keep watch." said Kakashi
"Night." said Naruto and Sakura in unison as they drifted off to sleep.

They were violently shaken awake 6 hours later by Kakashi. "Someone's coming! Get up!" he whispered loudly. Both young ninja were instantly on their feet, kunai in hand wondering who it could be. Just then four figures broke through the trees and landed in front of them.
"Hey guys!" said one of Naruto's best friends, Kiba.
"Kiba!" exclaimed Naruto "What're you doing here?"
"Tsunade thought you could use some back-up. It's a drag but you can't argue with her."
"Shikamaru!" said naruto looking at his lazy, but genius friend "Well I could've handled it on my own. Who's that behind you Kiba?"
"What?" he stepped aside. "Oh Hinata what're you doing hiding behind me?"
Hinata blushed 10 shades of red. "I-I-um-no reason, just-um…" she trailed off.
"Weird." Said Naruto
"Arf!"
"Yes hello Akamaru" said Naruto
"Ruff!" said Akamaru with his tongue hanging out.
"Well what're we waiting for? Let's go!" and Naruto took off.
"Uhh Naruto, the sand village is the other way!" yelled Sakura after him. A blur rushed by them.
"I knew that! I was testing you!" yelled the blur as it passed them.
They all laughed and took off.
Wow, 979 words. Is that a good length per chapter or should it be shorter? Anyway there is my first attempt at a first chapter of my first story. How was it? Reviews are appreciated as long as they are helpful or nice. Any reviews saying "That sucked." Well, they suck. Oh and can someone tell me how Orochimaru uses his arms in shippuden? When he uses the summoning jutsu for triple rashomon. And don't say it's because he switched bodies. The third took away his arms from his soul so just using another body shouldn't give him his arms back.
