Chapter 2: First Step
Team 7 were on a mission right now. One that didn't involve there sensei Kakashi. Due to one Sasuke Uchiha arrogance on taking this mission.
"Why in the world you told Sasuke we can handle this by ourselves?" Kiba asked Sasuke a bit upset as he did had to leave Akamaru home.
"Because it just a cat. We can handle finding and bringing back a lost pet." Sasuke said
"But Sensei was worried about us saying it more of a A-rank mission." Shino replied
"Who care it just a cat. I know how to handle cats. Now all we have to do is find Tora." Sasuke said
"We looking for a tiger!" Kiba shouted worried.
"Shut up Kiba it just the cats name. A lot of people name there cats various things. This one is just Tora as a way of irony." Sasuke said
"What you mean by irony!" Kiba asked
"Because it most likely a small little cat with a name like Tora making it seems like a fearsome beast. So it be easy to handle." Sasuke said
"Still it was A-rank mission!" Kiba said.
"I bet it receive that ranking due to how much the Daimyo what her cat back." Sasuke replied with a arrogant smirk on his face as Shino sign to himself.
"What this feels like it going to come back and bite us." Shino muttered to himself as they started calling for Tora.

Meanwhile with Naruto, Hinata and Mochi it took them two days to final reach the entrance to Lost Forest of Magic. They didn't had no problems getting there but now they have to deal with the fact they have a bunch of boar meats. They don't know how all those slice up boars were doing around there camp and why those boar corpse were surrounding Chu-chan. But they wouldn't look a gift horse in mouth right now on supplies.
"So does anyone still remember how all those dead boars turn up at our camp?" Naruto asked
"Maybe it one of the shinobi dropout?" Mochi commented.
"Wouldn't they have stolen the package instead?" Hinata commented.
"You're right Hinata-chan and the packages are still here. So what cause this." Naruto commented as he was holding a scroll that said pork.
'I know that flower did it but I don't got proof." Sakura thought as she remember last night as she was slightly feeding off of Naruto when she took notice of Naruto pet plant briefly disappearing before long when she blink it was suddenly back surrounded by dead boars. She was kind of creep out by it.
"There is also that oddly singing at night after everyone woke up and finish packing all those boar meats away. Then that Chu-chan appearing right close to Naruto sleeping bag." Sakura muttered to herself.
"That singing started after everyone else went back to sleep and sound so close by as well." Sakura muttered to herself.
"I wish I had my notebook. I can even translate the lyrics. It sound so foreign." Sakura continued talking to herself as Hinata was ignoring her.
"Don't know but it can't be weird then that field of flower we woke up in." Hinata said
"Mochi didn't mind the flowers." Mochi said with a smile.
"Anyway we should enter inside this forest." Naruto said
"There even a sign post that tell far each of house in this forest from each other." Mochi said
"There only two address." Hinata commented.
"Well it going to be simple. I mean it just a forest." Naruto said as the two girls nodded there head as all three of them enter the forest.
"I wonder if he jinx it?" Sakura commented as she follow after them.

Back with Team 7 they were now running through the woods. All there of them had fear in there eyes. Well Kiba and Sasuke had fear in there eyes. Shino eye were hidden by those sunglasses. There clothes were a mess as it looked like they were attack by a vicious animal.
"Is that thing still following us!" Kiba shouted in terror.
"I don't know and I not looking back!" Sasuke replied in terror.
"You said that thing was suppose to be a pussycat! That was no pussycat!" Kiba shouted at Sasuke as they all soon here a tiger like roar that didn't seem far behind.
"Oh shit it still following us!" Sasuke screamed as they see a small adorable cat that seems to be pattern after a actually tiger. Until it open it mouth and let loose a most fearsome roar ever as it kept chasing after them.
"We have to slow it down." Kiba shouted as suddenly both him and Shino trip as they fall to the ground.
"I will remember your brave sacrifice!" Sasuke called back as both boy see Tora going past them as it was still charging at Sasuke. They then got up and ran the other direction.
'NOOOOOO!" Sasuke scream of terror were heard as Tora pounce at him.

Back with Naruto and the girls. They were traveling in the forest for some while now. But oddly they should have reach there first destination by now.
"This is odd." Naruto commented as they were back at the fork road again as the odd floating creature was still there. It looks like odd reptile like creature with some kind of orb like stomach. It had a blue light coming from it stomach.
"What are you anyway?" Sakura commented as the odd creature stared at her. She took notice Naruto and the others came back yet again.
"I think this is a genjustu." Mochi commented.
"How can you be so sure?" Hinata asked.
"Because my bees told me!" Mochi declared proudly.
"Byakugan!" Hinata simply said as he bloodline activated. But all she can see is something is severely off with the woods.
"My Byakugan not cutting through the genjutsu!" Hinata said surprised as she was force to endure hundreds of genjutsu test as her training.
"What!" both Naruto and Mochi said at once as Sakura was floating between Naruto and the odd creature as Naruto aura went into her as she shudder a moan as the aura seems to filter right into the creature as the blue light turn red as it started floating toward a direction. All three of them notice the creature moving.
"What it doing?" Mochi asked
"I don't know but let's follow it." Naruto said as they follow the creature.
"Oh that felt odd." Sakura commented as she looked at her body that unintended aura absorption cause a slight growth in her some part of her body.
"Oh you got to be kidding me!" Sakura said as she took notice she got slightly bigger in her figure.
"Anyway I should follow them." Sakura muttered to herself as she floated after group.

Everyone was slowly walking home now as Sasuke was way worst to wear now. His clothes were torn up and there were bite marks everywhere on his arm. Kiba look frighten as he was holding a cage with a sleeping cat in it. Shino was just plain walking shirtless showing off a tone muscular body. Which got the other two slightly jealous.
"I didn't except you to be a body builder!" Sasuke said as he thought Shino would look like a twig.
"Yeah are those the bugs making you look muscular?" Kiba asked
"No I just decide to train my body." Shino replied in a cool tone of voice as they see a girl walking toward there direction. She had purple hair and brown eyes. She was wearing banchou outfit as she had bandages that was tightly around her breast. Her breast were DD-cup as she was carrying a backpack.
"Wait a second is that Ami the Bully?" Kiba commented.
"I not Ami the Bully anymore. I'm Ami the Banchou!" Ami said
"Why you been acting so different.?" Sasuke asked his fangirl.
"Well one I not your fangirl anymore. I only became your fangirl because my parents told me. No not told me brainwash and force me." Ami said
"Wait what?" all three said at once.
"Yeah my parents brainwash me. So they can have there daughter take out there frustration out Naruto-kun. Then make me become your fangirl in a weird way to marry your sorry rude emo a**." Ami said toward Sasuke a bit mean.
"What I did to be called that!" Sasuke replied.
"I still remember you called me butch! BUTCH!" Ami shouted at Sasuke.
"You know Sasuke I got one thing to say you were cute and on a lot of girls mind before that incident. But after that you became emo j*** and I bet a lot of girls most likely wouldn't be part of your fan-club because how you act toward all of us." Ami said
"So why you look like you moving?" Kiba asked
"Because I going on a trip to apologize to Naruto-kun for how I act toward him. Actually I would say he deserve a fan-club more then you Sasuke." Ami replied as she walked away from the group. Sasuke was speechless.
"Actually calling you emo be a insult to other emo! You just a brooding j***!" Ami called back as she was soon out of sight.
"Oh you got chew out by one of your former fangirls." Kiba said
"Eh forget about that she will see the way of the Sasuke." Sasuke arrogantly say.
"Sure.." both Kiba and Shino said
"How much do I owe you again?" Kiba asked
"Fifty ryo and I did told you. A lot of his fangirls must have been kept on a genjutsu to like him that long when he was kind of abusive toward them all." Shino replied as Kiba pass him fifty ryo. While Sasuke was off in his own world now. They kept heading toward the village.
"Maybe we should also ask why this little cat was a A-rank." Kiba muttered to Shino.
"True and I don't trust Sasuke with our lives." Shino replied
"Yeah he just left us there in the dust and saying I will remember your sacrifice." Kiba said with a low growl.

Meanwhile at Wave Country. The country economic was starting to become better now since Gato and his merc untimely death. There was still some of Gato ronin who became bandits and were terrorizing the town. Which is why several of the town people were going to send someone to get help. Meanwhile there fishing fleet went out to sea since when Gato show up the fleet was put on hold.
They were way out in sea which normal for a fishing fleet as it will take them a long time to hit a quote that was miss several time over when Gato took over. Suddenly a storm started approaching as the water started to become choppy. All of the ship started heading back as waves were crashing into them and one can see lighting hitting the water. It was a fierce storm indeed.
"Where this storm coming from!" a fisherman said in complete surprise as a lighting bolt struck one of the boat sending it in flames. The crew of that boat jump into the water.
"Man overboard!" someone shouted from the fishing fleet as they started the rescue the overboard crew. When suddenly they heard a odd moaning roar.
"What was that?" another crewmen commented.
"Must be the storm just focus on getting these men on board." the Captain said as the moaning roar sound was more louder now actually it sound like a hurricane as everyone looked up as they see something massive flying right toward them with a maw full of razor sharp teeth.

Daughter..." Naruto was the first to find his voice.
"... of the devil?" Hinata finished for him, leaving them with only one thing to do.
"EEEEEEHHHHH!" Both screamed in shock and fear, not knowing how to deal with such information.
"Daughter of... Naruto-kun, when did you had a daughter?" Mochi suddenly asked, quickly being pounded in the head by a very irate Naruto.
"MOCHI! THIS ISN'T THE TIME FOR THAT KIND OF JOKES!" Naruto shouted in absolute distress, just to turn to see an horrified Hinata staring at her.
"Naruto-kun... did you really..." Hinata muttered while Mochi caressed her head, obviously that hit had been a playful one, and had done no damage whatsoever; whatever else the genins were going to do, was stopped by the roaring laughter of the women that had been watching them with undivided attention.
"Oh, Marisa! These are much more funnier than that spandex wearing cute kid!" Alice said through gaufs of laughter.
"Can't forget about it, you clearly scarred him for life with your antics and your body." Marisa replied while looking at the now embarrassed genins.
"Anyway my mother is Shinki who a lot of you would consider the place she rules to be the devil. But beside that can you please give me us our package." Alice asked as Naruto took both packages off of Hinata and Mochi. He then gave the package to Marisa and Alice.
"Okay from these emblems its seems mine came from Patchouli. I wonder what she wants?" Marisa commented.
"You stole from her library again didn't you?" Alice asked as she open up the package and pulled out large amount of straw.
"Yup my shipment came." Alice smiled as she gave the straw to her dolls as they took them into her manor. Marisa open her package and a parchment fell out as she unfold it.
"Yeah she want two of her books back and she sound mad. Might as well give those two back to her. I can always borrow them again. I hope you three are still here when I get back." Marisa muttered as she left. While Alice was looking at Naruto clothes.
"Your clothes need a little improvement. The orange and black does suit you. But the design need twerk and some protection so to speak. I guessing you were use to wearing one set until you turn to this one right?" Alice asked
"Eh yes." Naruto replied.
"That would explain it. The clothes does make the person as my mother say. I want you to come all to come in then." Alice said as she open her manor door and grab Naruto hand she then took him into her home. Both girls follow after the two. Alice manor home was very nice and spacious place as one can see a lot of doll just cleaning up and doing various house chores.
"I want you to go into this room and disrobe. Then pass your clothes to one of my dolls." Alice said to Naruto.
"Okay then." Naruto replied as he put his pack down as he then went into the room. A five minute later a chibi alice doll walked out of the room holding Naruto clothes as Alice pick them up.
"Just relax both of you two. This is not going to take long." Alice said as she walked into another room.
Eight hours later as Marisa came back and dropped off a package. She then left. Alice went to the room and open it. Which surprise Naruto as he was in robe.
"Oh you wearing one of my robes. DO you like it?" Alice asked.
"Yeah it very soft and I never had a bathrobe before." Naruto commented.
"Then you can have it." Alice replied as she present Naruto his new clothes.
"Put these on and meet us all in the living room.." Alice said with a sly smile on her face as she left. Soon Naruto finish putting his clothes on. He was wearing a plain ninja garment, black color, a layered sode on his left shoulder, a discrete breast plate on his chest, segmented shin guards and arm guards, the armor pieces were dark orange in color. His headband was turn into a belt with many pouch which can hold ninja tools. He also now have a horn forehead protector.
"Whoa I look badass!" Naruto said surprise as he soon walked out of the room.
The girls watched Naruto as he entered the room, he was putting on his confident smile, trying to stand straight and at the ready, and avoiding any silly poses; it took the girls three minutes to recover...
"Mah! MAH! Naruto-kun sure looks handsome!" Mochi said with sparkling eyes, liking how serious he looked, without tainting his clear and sincere eyes.
"HANDSOME!" Hinata shouted as she stood and swooned; the clothes not only made him look more masculine, but more accepting thanks to the horns on his forehead protector.
"Really? You think so?" Naruto shyly asked, breaking the mature image, returning him to his usual self.
"HANDSOME!" Hinata blurted again as she gave a step toward him, with a slight blush on her face; Mochi simply nodded while putting a pleased face, knowing that Hinata needed room for her emotions to override her shyness.
"Well... Now we match like a couple, Hinata-chan." Naruto said to the horned girl as he took her by the shoulders, placing her horn between the two small horns of his forehead protector; their faces were way too close, and they eyes had locked.
Naruto had intended to do this action as a way of support, knowing very well that the Hyuga heiress was very self conscious of her non human features; he knew that she needed to understand that on this team there won't be any rejection, and while he would openly admit that she was beautiful, he was not doing this in hopes of... inciting her. Hinata was a very different though, not only she had been interested on the blond prankster, but now, having him so close and with such a confident and caring eyes, her body began to react... maybe the feeling of her horn touching the horns of a male had something to do with it too...
"Uhm... Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked in worry as he noticed her unfocused eyes, then he felt her little and delicate looking hands grabbing his shoulders with gargantuan strength.
'claim, claim, claim, claim...' Hinata's mind began to chant while guiding her body to the logical end of the situation, she had the noble and caring hero before her, it was only natural for the dragon to submit and...
"My, my! Is the hero going to plunge his sword on the mighty dragon already?" Alice's voice returned the teens to the current moment, remembering them that they weren't alone in the room. Hinata darted outside like a lightning bolt, and Naruto followed her to see if she was alright.
"Oh... I was hopping to see some more..." Alice began to say with a smile on her voice, when a sudden tsk warned her of the impending danger she walked in.
"I don't appreciate interruptions." Mochi spoke with an undertone of fury, while Alice couldn't help but to gasp in fear as she felt herself being covered by bees... also seeing bees all over her room helped to keep her rooted in place.
"Can we talk this out?" Alice asked, knowing very well that doing anything to free herself would take too much time, and too many stings to be worthy.
"I don't appreciate interruptions." Mochi repeated, while the bees began to buzz in a non friendly way.
Meanwhile outside Alice Manor, Hinata was breathing hard as she surprise.
"I can't believe I acted like that." Hinata thought with a blush as Naruto came out.
"Are you alright Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked
"Eh yes I'm alright." Hinata quickly said
"Are you sure?" Naruto asked
"Yes I'm alright." Hinata replied as she was going into denial on what she just did and hoping Naruto forget that little scene as she embarrassed.
"That good to know." Naruto said as they went back in as now Mochi and Alice were there now as all the bees gone as well. Both of them drinking tea.
"It good to see both of you two are alright. Anyway Marisa seems to have drop her package and a note which address to you." Alice said as she gave the note to Naruto who started to read it.
"She want us to deliver this book to her friend Patchouli who lived in the country of the Land of Wave. She said if we do this Patchouli would assure award us for this service." Naruto said.
There's is a Hokage seal of approval in here." Naruto commented as there was a Hokage seal on the letter
"She must went out of the forest and flew to your village. Anyway I be coming along since I be going in that direction." Alice said
Meanwhile in Konohagakure Team 7 have left. They've been assigned a C-rank mission. Except Team 7 were scolded by there sensei for there performance at the Tora mission.
"You acted severely reckless Sasuke leaving your teammate behind in the face of a cat chasing. Actually it because of you acting so cocky that happen. I would have explain things to you but no you were so cocky." Kakashi said to Sasuke as the brooding boy was silent. All of them walk in silence. Sasuke wasn't having a good day.
I hope all of you enjoy this chapter. I put some time to it. Also I hope all of you like Naruto new outfit. Hinata did.
