I don't Own Naruto

Legend of Team 7

Training and first C rank

Xxx

Naruto was standing at the training field as he had his genin run ten lap around it. They completed it and they dropped to the ground. "You three have done great," said Naruto. "I want you to learn chakra control exercise."

"What?" asked Ino.

"I show you how to climb trees," said Naruto.

"We know how to climb trees sensei," said Kiba.

"Without your hands Kiba," said Naruto. "Observe."

Naruto heads to one of the trees in the back and walks up it. "This help you not waste chakra using jutsu. Will help you last in a battle."

Throwing three kunai in front of the genin. "Use those kunai to mark your progress."

"The one who finish will learn their elemental affinity," said Naruto. "Get to it."

The genin do as told with Ino making it up in the first try. "Sensei, I did it," said Ino.

"I want you try to keep running to increase you reserves. After about going up and down five time I will teach you your affinity," said Naruto.

Kiba flew off the trunk as did Sasuke. Kiba tried to do it, but gave up and walked over the Ino who had just came down. "Can you give me some tips on how to get to the top?" asked Kiba.

"If you fly off or dent the trunk, you using to much. If fall then too little. When you figure out the amount you got maintain it," said Ino.

"Thank Ino," said Kiba as he does as told and runs up to the top.

Naruto smiles seeing Kiba run to the top. Kiba sees Sasuke glaring at the tree. "Sasuke, here is the tip Ino gave me," said Kiba.

Sasuke let's go of his pride and listens. "Thanks Kiba, I will give it a shot."

"Kiba and Ino please come with me to the lake," said Naruto. Taking out slips of paper Naruto hands them the small slips. "We will find your strongest element."

"Can we learn more than one element?" asked Kiba.

"Goo d question, yes you can, but it will be hard to use one you not attuned with," said Naruto. "Channel the chakra into the paper. "

Naruto does and his cuts down the middle. One get soggy and the other crumble to dust. "I have three my main is Wind two other are water and earth."

The two do as instructed. Ino gets soggy. Kiba's had a cut down the middle. "Ino is main affinity is water and Kiba's is Wind," said Naruto.

"Before we go any further. I want you to learn the water walker control exercise," said Naruto. "Once you get that down, I will show you the element mastery exercise."

Naruto was watching his students when he saw Sasuke walk up to him. "I have complete the tree walking," said Sasuke.

"Prove it," said Naruto.

Sasuke runs up a tree and get to the top and run down. "I shall find out you affinity," said Naruto.

Over the weeks Naruto's team had down 50 D rank mission. He was standing in front of the Hokage. "I think they are ready for a C rank," said Naruto, getting smiles from his students.

"What would you say their rank is, in terms of skill. "They are all Low Chunin and I shall teach them jutsu during the mission," said Naruto.

"Very well," said Sarutobi. "Iruka, please bring in Tazuna."

An old man walks up with Sakes bottle in his hand. "I asked for ninjas not, children," said the man rudely. "

"I can assure you Tazuna, we are more than a match for any bandits," said Naruto. "For a C rank that is all we should be excepting."

"You are all to escort me to my home in Wave," said Tazuna

"You are all to pack for a month, meet at the gates," said Naruto. "Tazuna, I would like you sober."

At the gate Naruto walked up with Tazuna. "Now Tazuna, you are to follow my every order," said Naruto.

The Group heads out.

Xxx

"So Naruto-sensei, does Wave have Ninjas?" asked Ino.

"Wave has no ninja village," said Naruto. A lot of villages don't, however, there are who have small villages. Then there are the great nations."

"Each one is rule by a Shadow, or Kage," said Naruto. "There is Raikage, or lighting shadow. Mizukage, water shadow, Kazekage the wind shadow, Tsuchikage or earth shadow, The Hokage the fire shadow"

"Who do you think is the strongest?" asked Kiba.

"The Raikage because he is much younger, followed by Hokage, then Tsuchikage, due the two experience's in battle. Mizukage and then Kazekage," said Naruto.

"The old man can't be that strong," said Ino.

"When I sparred him last time, about a month ago, he beat me in a not so close contest," said Naruto. "The only one who can beat is Jiraiya-sensei. I also trained under the Hokage."'

The Shinobi continued to walk as Naruto looked down and saw a puddle. Sasuke frown. "Sensei," said Sasuke.

"Pretend you did not see it," whispered Naruto. Two figure appear out of the puddle and wrap their chain around Naruto shredding him to pieces.

Fang over Fang," shouted Kiba tearing through one of them as Sasuke knocks the second one out.

Ino gets to the one that is knocked out. Putting her hand in a seal she enters the ninja mind. He body collapses.

After a few minutes she goes to her body again. "Sensei," said Sasuke. "How did we do?"

Naruto jumped down. "You all did very well. You keep your composer in a life and death situation. Ino what did you find out?"

"They were after Tazuna, The jounin leading them is Zabuza Momochi," said Ino. Naruto growl. "Who is he sensei?"

"Nuke-nin of Mist Village," said Naruto. "I will deal with him. He one of the seven swordsmen of the Mist."

Xxx

They get on a boat and head across the river. As they continue to walk Kiba throws a kunai into a bush, scaring Ino. Walking over Naruto finds a white furred hare. "Kiba you scared me with that stunt," shouted Ino.

"The fur is white but is spring, it was raised indoor," said Naruto. "Good eyes Kiba."

Naruto hears a sound. "Get down!"

Everyone drops to the ground as giant blade hits a tree. "Uzumaki of Substitution," said a deep .

Naruto smiled. "If it isn't Zabuza?" said Naruto before he frowns. "Leave of die."

"Sorry brat," said Zabuza. "Give over the old man."

"He is under our protection," said Naruto.

"Very well," said Zabuza. "Hidden Mist jutsu." A mist envelops the landscape.

"Stay close," said Naruto. "He is the master the silent kill."

"You have heard?" asked Zabuza.

"Of course I have," said Naruto. "Protect the bridge builder."

Naruto closes his eyes and reopens them reveling two Sharingan. "The Sharingan," said Zabuza."

Going inhaling Naruto blows away the Mist with wind chakra. "So it's true, Naruto of the wind as well as Naruto the jutsu god," said Zabuza backing up slightly. "Of everyone I could run into is one who has a flee on sight or surrender on sight."

"Scared?" asked Naruto walking toward his enemy like the nuke-nin was prey.

Zabuza quickly throws smoke pellets and leaves the field. "We will face him again," said Naruto. "Plus I sensed another ninja nearby. Must have been waiting just incase."

"Tazuna, where is your house?" asked Naruto.

"Ten miles," said Tazuna.

"Let's go," said Naruto

Xxx

After getting to the house, Naruto turned to his team. "You all did well by withstanding Zabuza's killer intent."

"Sensei," said Sasuke. "What now?"

"I think it's time to teach you all some jutsu," said Naruto. "Follow me to the back."

After going around Naruto looks at his students. "Shadow Clone Jutsu," he said as three clone appears. "These clones will give you a jutsu to work on."

Xxx

At the end of the day the genin were dragging themselves to the house. The daughter Tsunami was cooking as a boy sat at the table looking depressed. "Why do you try?" he asked.

Naruto sighed. "We have the power to do something," said the jounin. "Inari, was it?"

The boy nods his head. "Do what you think is right," said Naruto.

Xxx

At Gatos base Zabuza was standing in front of his employer. "Did you even make the attempt?" asked Gato. "You must be a baby demon, you lost to kids."

"This kid has a flee on sight," growled Zabuza.

"Don't fail me."

Xxx

Naruto was sitting using the Kyuubi sensing ability to keep an eye out for trouble. Sasuke runs up. "Sensei, I have mastered the jutsu," said the Uchiha.

"Show me," said Naruto.

Sasuke goes through hand seals. "Fire Style: Dragon Breath," said Sasuke as he blows a breath of fire out of his mouth.

"It did not go far, but you did perform it. Well done," said Naruto.

Naruto was watching his student with pride as Ino had come a long and become a kunoichi of worth. She was currently sparring with Kiba in taijutsu.

"Tomorrow, I will have clones protect the house as the rest of us will protect the bridge," said Naruto.

Xxx

Next day Naruto and his team got to the bridge and saw the worker on the ground. Naruto get to one of them and turns him over. "What happened?" asked Naruto.

"Demon," said the worker.

"They got that right," said the voice of Zabuza.

"Not going to run again?" asked Naruto.

"Unfortunately I can't," said Zabuza. A young boy appear with a mask. "Haku, deal with the genin."

"Hai," said the mask ninja.

"A hunter ninja," said Naruto. "I thought I sensed you in my last meeting with Zabuza.

"Kiba and Sasuke will the fake hunter ninja," said Naruto.

Xxx

Rushing to Zabuza Naruto send a powerful kick the missing nin. Zabuza blocks it with the flat side of his sword. "Not bad kid," said Zabuza as he skids back.

Naruto takes out a Katana from a scroll and clashes with Zabuza's blade. "You good Uzumaki," said Zabuza.

"Why do you work for Gato?" asked Naruto. "He will betray you, when it suit him."

"I know, but it will buy me time," said Zabuza as he kicks Naruto away.

The two continue their battle. "Zabuza, Gato sent some men to Tazuna's house they tried to rape the daughter."

"What," said Zabuza. "I told him if he did that, then I will stop fighting. Haku we're done here."

The team stop their fights. "Zabuza, pledge loyalty to Konoha and I can protect you with my clan."

Clapping is heard. "I knew we could not trust you," said a voice. "I wasn't going to pay you anyways."

"Gato," said Zabuza.

"New game," said Naruto. "First one to kill the midget wins."

"The two stalk to the midget. "Kill them!" shouted Gato as his thugs charge the two only for them to be killed when they got near.

Naruto and Zabuza both slashed at the midget killing him. "A tie," said the two ninjas.

Turning to the thugs Naruto activated his Sharingan. "Leave now or die," said the blond.

The thug leave in a rush as to not perish.

Xxx

At the house Naruto was talking to Zabuza. "I am going back to Mist village, to help bring down the Mizukage," said Zabuza. "I will see you around."

Xxx

The genin team has no injuries due to the halt in the fight. "Sensei," said Sasuke.

"Yes, need something?" asked Naruto.

"I have been thinking about my brother," said Sasuke. "Something's don't add up."

"Oh," said Naruto placing silencing seals on the wall of the room. "I talk to the Hokage before the mission. I can tell you a little bit but not much."

"I need to know," said Sasuke.

"There is more to the story then you know or will be privy to till I think you are ready," said Naruto. "I will say this much. You brother did what he had to despite being mislead."

"What does that mean?" asked Sasuke.

"You will have to figure it out on your own," said Naruto. "When you hit chunin I will give you the info."

"He is a scapegoat?" asked Sasuke.

"On his own violation," said Naruto. "When you meet him, will make the choice, whatever will be the right one for you."

"Thanks you," said Sasuke.

Xxx

Next day Naruto and his team left wave and went back Konoha.

Tazuna turned to the people. "What should we name the bridge?" asked Tazuna.

"Konoha Bridge," said one of the town's people.

"Very well so it shall be," said Tazuna.

Xxx

The trip back to Konoha was fast. Getting to the gate Naruto told his team to head home and rest. Heading to the tower, Naruto was not looking forward to giving out his report.

Naruto got to the tower and was allowed in. "I gave some hints to Sasuke," said Naruto. He some pieces, but not the whole story."

"Your successful despite fighting a rouge ninja?" asked Sarutobi.

"I think we should tell Sasuke the truth," said Naruto. "It is bringing him closer to darkness."

"I see," said the Hokage.

"I halt it slightly by sharing some info and I think we steer him away from it," said Naruto.

"Tell after the chunin exams," said the Hokage. "If you do it before, I will revoke you Shinobi license."

"I understand Hokage-sama," said Naruto

"Dismissed and your team shall be paid for an A rank mission," said Sarutobi.

Xxx

Naruto was Walking around the village when he saw Inoichi walk toward him. "Sensei," said Naruto.

"I am glad you made it back," said Inoichi. "Let get some drinks."

Naruto nodded his head. The two get to tavern and sit down. "You straightened my daughter, thank you," said Inoichi.

"I have full respect for sensei," said Naruto. "Ino-chan could have lost her life in the last mission if she stayed the same."

"How is her training going?" asked Inoichi.

"I would place her right now as high genin do to her poor choices earlier, in the academy," said Naruto. "I would not have even considered her fit to be a kunoichi, when first test her."

"I am thankful for not giving up on her," said the blond clan head.

Before the two could continue to talk a Anbu appeared. "Naruto is needed at the Hokage office," said the Anbu.

"I will be there," said Naruto. "Thanks for the drink. I will pay."

Leaving the money behind Naruto used body flicker to disappear.

Xxx

Naruto appeared at the office. "You called Hokage-sama," said Naruto.

"Yes, I have a long term mission S rank," said Sarutobi. "I want you lure out any traitor in the village leadership, while finding evidence."

"May I ask why, Hokage-sama," asked Naruto.

"I believe we have traitors in the village council," said Sarutobi.

"I shall start As soon as possible," said Naruto.

"Very well," said Sarutobi.

Naruto disappear in a body flicker.
