A/N: I forgot to mention that I'm a slow updater sometimes.
Naruto Uzumaki walked to the Hokage Tower, after his meeting with Sarutobi he went to some shops to buy clothes and ninja gear, unfortunately none of the shops sold anything orange so he decided to go with a new look. He bought black sandals, blue pants, a long sleeved blue shirt with the Uzumaki clan symbol on the back, black fingerless gloves and a short sleeved long black coat. He also wore a brand new forehead protector which was black. He walked into the Hokage Tower where he was led to the Hokage's office by some ANBU, he knocked on the door.
"Come in," Sarutobi said. Naruto walked in and stood in front of the desk. He threw Naruto a key that the blonde easily caught. "Your new house is number 146, its right across the street next to the weapons shop. The council has also decided to put you on my team for your training so meet me and the rest of the team at the main gate for a mission tomorrow at noon."
"Okay Sarutobi sensei," Naruto said before leaving. Naruto walked into his new house, it looked exactly like his apartment except that the bedroom and bathroom were upstairs. He started putting the food he bought earlier into the fridge and cabinets. When he was done he started to cook some ramen and while waiting for it to be ready he quickly checked the bedroom. It had a king-sized bed, cupboards and floor to ceiling windows that had a great view of the Hokage Tower and Monument. Naruto went downstairs, finished his ramen and continued to explore his house.
Naruto woke up the next day at 8:30; he got washed, dressed, grabbed his ninja gear and headed to the main gate. At the gate stood Sarutobi with two of the future Legendary Sannin: Tsunade and Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was standing there dressed in long white robes with purple lining that covered a mesh top along with white leggings and black sandals.
Tsunade wore short sleeved teal robes with purple trimming over a mesh shirt along with a black ribbon tied around her waist, red arm warmers, blue pants and blue sandals.
"Hey I'm Tsunade. I guess you're our new teammate that sensei told us about," Tsunade said, Naruto nodded once.
"He doesn't look like much," the future snake sannin said while looking at Naruto.
"Haven't you learnt not judge a book by its cover yet?" Naruto asked sarcastically. Orochimaru shot him a look that said 'You're not worth the effort' but before Naruto could start shouting a white haired kid with red lines running from the bottom of his eyes to halfway down his face jumped between them. He was wearing pale grey robes with a red flame design on the edges, with a green ribbon tied in a loose bow around his waist.
"Oi if anyone's gonna argue with Orochimaru here it's gonna be me, Jiraiya," the kid said while pointing at himself with his thumb.
"What kept you Jiraiya?" Tsunade asked with mild irritation in her voice.
"You know me I was doing invaluable 'research'," he said as if it was obvious.
"YOU PERVERT!" Tsunade said before punching him so hard he flew five feet backwards before landing on his face.
"Are you okay Jiraiya?" Naruto asked, he knew how strong the future Kage was and he was slightly surprised when Jiraiya meekly lifted his hand in a thumb up sign.
"Come on then we're burning sunlight," Sarutobi said before walking through the gate with his four pupils in tow.
"What's the mission?" Naruto asked.
"It's a B-Ranked mission. All we have to do is go to the Land of Waves and capture or kill a missing-nin who's been hiding in the area. The nin is from Kirigakure so he'll be using stealth attacks. The assignment shouldn't take more than a week seeing as the missing-nin is only a Chūnin."
Team Hiruzen arrived at the Land of Waves near nightfall and they made camp in the forest, the camp consisted of a large tent and a fire. They went to bed shortly after pitching the tent and Hiruzen used an Earth Release: Shadow Clone to keep watch. In the morning the group made a plan to split up into three groups; Tsunade would go with Naruto, Hiruzen with Jiraiya and Orochimaru with Hiruzen's Shadow Clone. The three groups would search different parts of the island and report back to camp before nightfall. The groups split up and began their search for the missing-nin.
After three hours Naruto and Tsunade hadn't found anything, they stopped in a small clearing to rest.
"I'll be right back," Naruto said as he walked towards the forest.
"Where are you going?" Tsunade asked.
"I've gotta pee, if you need me just shout," he said before walking out of view into the bushes.
Tsunade lay down on the grass and let the sunshine splash onto her face as she rested, soon though she fell asleep. A ninja jumped down from the trees into the clearing with Tsunade, he wore black pants, black sandals and had bandages wrapped around his torso, arms and neck. He also wore his forehead protector around his neck and had an ANBU fish mask covering his face along with Kubikiribōchō on his back. He cautiously walked over to the sleeping blonde and used Water Prison Jutsu to trap her in a giant ball of water. Another ninja jumped down from the trees this one was dressed exactly the same as the first but he had a boar ANBU mask and had a forehead protector with the Kumogakure symbol instead.
"Come on out genin or otherwise we'll torture your friend here until she begs for death," one of them shouted at the bushes where Naruto was. Naruto instantly ran into the clearing to see the two ninjas standing there with Tsunade in a water prison.
"Good now stay there and don't move or we'll kill her," the fish masked one said as the other began placing pillars around the area. When he was finished the fish masked one dropped the water prison and ran.
"Lightning Release: Thunder Bind," the boar masked one said spreading walls of electricity between the pillars trapping Naruto and Tsunade. Both ninja stood outside the walls watching intently. "You will both fight to the death. Whoever wins will be released but if you don't fight we'll torture you both."
"Kill me Tsunade," Naruto said quietly, earning a shocked look from said girl. "I'm fine with it just kill me so you can escape."
"No I won't do it," Tsunade said before lowering her head in sorrow. "I only met you yesterday I refuse to kill you."
"Fine if you won't I'll kill myself," Naruto said while grabbing his kunai.
"No you won't if either of you kill yourselves the other will die slowly and painfully," one of the masked ninja said.
"Why are you doing this?" Naruto asked.
"It's entertaining to know what different people will do. The last time we did this both of them killed each other."
"Well you're both dead now anyway," Naruto said while smirking, Tsunade lifted her head up to see why. Behind both enemy ninja were two Narutos running at them each had a kunai aimed at the opponents' throats.
"How?" one of them asked.
"Simple when you called me out I used Shadow Clone Jutsu and you've been talking to me a, Shadow Clone, this whole time," the clone said.
"You may be a clone but she's not. Thunder Burn!" the Kumo ninja said before lightning started to charge in his hand. Both Narutos stopped dead in their tracks.
"You two are so cowardly, if you have to use a hostage against a couple of twelve year old genin," Naruto taunted.
"Fine a match between us two while my partner and your teammate sit on the sides. If I lose me and my partner will go with you without a struggle, however if you lose both of you will fight each other to the death."
"Fine," Naruto said. The Kumo nin used his Thunder Burn on one of the pillars destroying the prison. Naruto's two clones puffed out of existence and he turned to face the Kiri nin. The ninja already had his massive sword out and ready. Naruto charged at him with his kunai ready but had to dodge as the missing nin brought down his sword. Naruto jumped back to avoid it and landed ten feet away while making a hand seal.
"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted, the clearing was suddenly filled with a thousand Narutos. Every Naruto threw a shuriken at him from every direction. The missing ninja managed to shield the front of his body with the sword but more shuriken still impaled him creating hundreds of cuts and gashes. The ninja was forced on to the floor because some shuriken managed to hit pressure points making his legs and arms near unmovable. "I've won, the wounds from the shuriken mean you'll die of blood loss within a day not to mention you can't move."
The Kiri ninja's blood boiled but he knew that he couldn't beat the kid but his teammate was still weak. He charged at Tsunade bringing his sword with all the strength he could summon, Tsunade froze in fear as the massive blade came towards her. She closed her eyes waiting for the feel of cold metal slicing through her but it never came.
"How?" the sword wielder asked before slipping unconscious. Tsunade suddenly felt a warm liquid on her cheek and she looked up to see Naruto over her with blood running down his face and onto hers. At the last moment Naruto had jumped over Tsunade so that the sword impaled his back.
"Are you okay?" Naruto asked in concern, his eyes staring at her caringly. He rolled onto his side and blood ran from the gash on his back onto the grass.
"Yeah but what about you, you got a sword in your back," Tsunade said.
"I've had worse," he replied.
"Let me heal you," Tsunade said. She made Naruto lie on his stomach as she easily removed the sword. She looked at the wound to see the sword had landed on his right side making a shallow gash. She was about to start her medical jutsu but the wound had already started healing and within a few minutes it was gone without so much as a scar. "How'd you do that?"
"Do what?" Naruto asked when he turned to face her.
"Your wounds healed within a few minutes when it should have taken weeks."
"Just something I was born with," he said. Looking around the clearing they could both see the other ninja had abandoned his partner who was good as dead. Naruto picked up his kunai and slit the unconscious ninja's throat, as the blood started to pool Naruto and Tsunade started to walk back to camp.
