Chapter 2: The Mission

It was just about day break in the land of fire. Naruto's apartment doorbell rang. He tossed and turned trying to ignore the bell. A few moments after the doorbell had rang, he heard a loud bang, "NARUTO! WAKE UP AND OPEN THE DOOR!"

Sighing he groggily got up slipping on his slippers. "Coming…geez…" he opened the door to see an unhappy Sakura and a neutral Sai.

"Naruto…! What took you so long! Why aren't you dressed?" Sakura questioned tapping her foot impatiently. Sai lend against the wall, "Captain Yamato is waiting for us. Though we were supposed to meet him 9 minutes ago…"

Naruto just yawned, "Right…right…I'll be ready in a few…" he walked to his closet and grabbed his usual clothing. Sakura and Sai entered the small apartment closing the door behind them.

Coming out of the bathroom Naruto was fully dressed and had his headband hanging from his pocket while combing his hair, "Alright, ready and set!"

Sakura crossed her arms and turned around to head out the door, "Finally." Sai opened the door for his fellow teammates.

**Konoha Front Gates**

'Where are they…?' Yamato scouted out the area his was in to see if he could spot them. Kakashi popped up behind him and tapped on the shoulder, "Yo!" Yamato jumped a little bit in surprise and sighed in relief, "Kakashi…can you not do that again…where are the others?"

Kakashi pointed behind him and Yamato turned his head to see Naruto running up along with Sai and Sakura trailing him, "Ready and waiting, Captain Yamato!" they all stood up straight like they were about to go into battle.

"Took you all long enough…Anyway glad your all here." Yamato trailed off and faced Kakashi, "Is Kakashi-sensei coming with us…?" Naruto asked with a confused look.

Yamato nodded, "Yes, Kakashi shall be accompanying us all today." Kakashi looked up from the book he was reading a placed it in the back of his pocket, "Alright, before everyone starts to freak out on what the mission is…"

Taking out a map Yamato spread it out on the ground, "First, Lady Tsunade wants us to clear out a couple of bandits to the south-east…" Naruto jumped up as ready as ever and began to walk forward but was grabbed on the collar by Sai, "Let me go Sai!"

"Please, do continue Kakashi-sensei." Sai smiled as a struggling Naruto tried to get him to let go. Kakashi blinked and then continued, "Okay, after we nip these guys up in a bun. We are going to head south where we'll meet a client."

"Client?" Sakura questioned with a worried look on her face, "Yep, though Lady Tsunade didn't release any details…So let's get going shall we?"

They all departed from the gates. "So Kakashi-sensei..." Naruto started as he sped up next to him. "Hmm?" the expression on Naruto's face was filled with hopelessness but was then replaced with a fake smile, "This client…have we worked with them before?"

Kakashi looked at him, "Maybe we have. We'll see once we take care of those bandits." They ran making their way to the south-east of Konoha Leaf village.
