Naruto Sakura Wars SLML AU

A/N: I own nothing and what would happen if Naruto was wearing a mask the whole time up until after Wave? Goodbye Shinjiro Taiga. New York Combat Revue say hello to Naruto Uzumaki. Your newest member!
"Ah Team Seven. Welcome back. How was your mission?" The Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, asks smiling at the team that had his beloved honorary grandson on it.
"Eventful Lord Hokage. I'll have the mission report on your desk in less than an hour. By your leave?" Kakashi Hatake, Leaf Jonin and leader of Team Seven, asks wanting to get out of there as soon as possible so he could go doctor the mission reports to make it seem as if Sasuke did all the work while Naruto nearly got the whole team killed. The Hokage knew he would do this and had to hide a smirk behind his pipe as he set his plan into motion.
"Actually Kakashi, since Naruto is aspiring to be the Hokage one day then he needs to learn how to do paperwork so he will be filing the mission report for your team this time as well as helping me finish up my paperwork here. You, Sasuke, and Sakura are dismissed. Naruto, you stay here so I can walk you through everything." Sarutobi said not giving Kakashi any way to refuse or deny the orders without putting himself in a bad light.
"Yes sir. Sakura, Sasuke. Let's go celebrate your first successful C rank, my treat. Naruto, meet us at the 'Bloody Kunai' when you're done here so you can celebrate with us." Kakashi said purposely giving the blond the name of a restaurant that wouldn't let him come within three yards of it without a beating from most of its workers.
"Hai Sensei." Naruto said with fake excitement, knowing that his so called teacher was really someone who had lead many of the beating the blond received as a child. The teacher and other two members of Team Seven left while Naruto let his look of fake excitement drop and glared at his teachers back.
"Bastard." Naruto said as if he were merely pointing out the obvious while the Hokage snickered slightly in agreement before turning serious.
"You have the report done?" Sarutobi asks causing Naruto to nod stoically and hand him a piece of paper that was completely filled with writing.
"Good are you prepared for that secret S-rank mission I told you about before you left for Wave?" Sarutobi asked looking at the ANBU Captain turned Genin.
"Hai. I'll leave a blood clone to deal with the scarecrow, Sasuke-imouto, and pink haired banshee." Naruto said while Sarutobi created two Shadow Clones to deal with the paperwork on his desk.
"Good. While on your mission you may drop the Genjutsu and act, you can also keep it down when you return in time for the Chunin Exams in three months. Think you have enough time to complete your mission or is your blood clone going to have to go through the Exams for you?" Sarutobi asks with a hidden smirk at how shaken everyone will be when Naruto returned from his mission.
"I'll be back in time. I gotta leave now if I want to get there before my guides do. See ya later Old Man." Naruto said grinning foxily at his grandfather figure as he made two clones, one a Shadow Clone to tell all the Clan Children, who knew all about Naruto and who he really was and what he was the container of, but Sasuke about how he was dropping the mask and going on a mission, and the other a Blood Clone to take his place with his team. The real Naruto, still in his Genjutsu and wearing his mask, raised a hand in farewell to the Hokage before jumping out the window and sending one of his smaller slug summons to tell Sasuke about his mission and all.
Naruto, in his ANBU gear, roof jumped to the gate and arrived there just as the last of his true friends arrived.
"See you when you get back Naru-nii." The clan children said smiling at the older boy while the two smaller ones, Hanabi Hyuuga and Konohamaru Sarutobi, hugged his legs.
"See you later bro." Neji Hyuuga said dropping his cold and indifferent mask as he clasped arms with his brother in all but blood.
"When you get back we must have a youthful spar, my youthful brother in all but blood!" Lee said not yelling but still speaking excitedly as he grinned at the blond wearing the grinning Fox mask.
"Shut up Lee. See ya when ya get back Naru-kun but you have to bring me back at least one weapon from wherever you're going that I don't have yet." Tenten said grinning as she hugged her honorary brother who merely laughed at her request.
"See ya when ya get back Gaki-Taicho. I'm proctor of the Second Exam this year so you'd better show got it?" Anko asks grinning even as she gave her commander a salute.
"You're the proctor? Those kids won't know what hits them." Naruto said grinning behind his mask as he shook his head in pity for the poor contestants, causing the younger kids to giggle in agreement and amusement while Anko pouted at him.
"See ya when ya get back Taicho." The Jonin senseis, minus Kakashi who didn't know his blond student was really his commander, said grinning at his antics.
"I made it just in time." Sarutobi said appearing near the small group in a leaf Shunshin.
"It took you this long? You're getting old gramps." Naruto teased with a smirk, causing the Hokage to chuckle at the usual banter.
"Either way. I came to inform you that your grandparents will be stopping by to come and check on you while you're on your mission. Try to keep them in line would you?" Sarutobi said while you could almost feel Narutos devious smirk behind his mask.
"I'll try but no promises." Naruto said cheekily before raising a hand in farewell to everyone and disappearing towards the boat that would take him to the veil separating the worlds and towards his new mission.
