Hi this is my first fanfic so…. Yeah sorry if I make huge mistakes and such. I won't be able to update often either.. so have patience. This takes place before the chunnin exams.
Team 7 had just completed a C rank mission, and where heading in to report it when suddenly Naruto stopped and held up his arm. A circling crow swooped low and landed on it. He pulled a message from its leg and watched as it flew away. He unfurled the paper and read it. His face darkened, and he crumpled it. He took off running and soon passed the other members of team 7. They stared after him confused, before catching up. "Ne, ne Naruto?" Asked Kakashi. "Hmmm?" Naruto responded distractedly. "What was that paper? Was it from Hokage-sama?" "From Jiji? No. That was for me. And I'd much rather keep my secrets secret, thank you very much." He responded frostily. There was no chit-chat after that.
HOKAGE TOWER
"Team Seven, reporting in." "Good. Report."
As Kakashi filed the report, Naruto thought about how he was going to tell Jiji. The Uzumaki council had decided that Sonzoku Menbā festival would be held in Konoha this year, but without Jiji's permission, they wouldn't be aloud past the gates. "…ruto? NARUTO!" Naruto was jerked out of his thoughts by Sakura's wild wailing. He winced inwardly, but smiled and said "Yes Sakura-Chan?" like a love struck puppy. He hated hiding his true feelings, but it kept him safe. "What was up with that paper earlier?"
The Hokage took a puff off of his pipe. "Paper? What's this about, Naruto-kun?" he asked. "Well, the council has decided that the festival will take place here, in Konoha this year." Naruto said bluntly. "Council? Festival? Naruto, what are you talking about, you baka!" Screeched Sakura. Naruto, to team seven's shock, sent her a withering glare, and ignored her. "Hokage-sama, I am requesting leave for the next two weeks." Kakashi frowned. "Naruto, you can't be permitted leave unless it is medical or a clan event." He said at the same time that Sarutobi said "Granted." Naruto sighed. "Yes, Kakashi-sensei" He said, as if speaking to a small child. "Clan event." He stressed the words. He then turned on his heel and stalked out of the room, with a stormy look on his face. Sarutobi sighed. "I suppose you all want explenations." Here he paused, and was greeted by enthusiastic, or as enthusiastic as an Uchiha can get, nods. "Naruto is from the very prestigious Uzumaki clan. Every year, the Council holds a festival in one of the surviving members villages. This year, it is to be held in Konoha. Naruto needs a leave to prepare for his performance in the parade. He is after all the closest thing they have to a wind master." At this, they all gaped at him. He sighed. This was going to be a long explanation.
