'Kurama's speech'
"Kurama's thoughts"
"Normal speech"
'Normal Thoughts'
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Flashback: (Continued)
Naruto was sitting in a chair, next to Hinata's bed, where she was still unconscious after passing out from extreme embarrassment. 'Seems she is sleeping peacefully, I am glad, I thought I had hurt her.' Naruto thought with a soft smile, then started nodding off in his chair, trying to stay up, so that he could be there when she woke up, and get her answer. 'Eh... She can tell me when I wake up whenever.' Naruto said, then his consciousness left, falling asleep, but waking up in a sewer area, that he was all too familiar with now. 'What does Kurama want?' Naruto thought curiously, then walked through the winding sewer, until he came up to a giant cage, where he was, but the giant red beast that was normally there, wasn't there anymore.

'Down here kit.' Kurama said, but was in a normal male voice, causing Naruto to look around, like someone else was there, but there was no one else, except for him, then his eyes finally landed on a tall man, shoulder length red hair, wearing a form fitting shirt, but not enough to be considered tight, and a pair of blue jeans, needless to say, he looked like Minato in his face, and well muscled, but not to the point, where it would be like "Don't you have enough already?".

"Kurama..?" Naruto asked curiously, incredulous about Kurama's new appearance. "Why do you look like a human?" Naruto asked, his eyes widen a bit in surprise, stumping him quite a bit.

Kurama chuckled lightly, which almost sounded human. "Its because this is your mind, more specifically, your mindscape, in here, you can shape the world to your will, and I can to an extent, since I am technically part of you." Kurama said, a small, amused smile gracing his lips.

Naruto let out a surprised gasp escape his lips, but his face returned back to his calm, and collected face, understanding what he meant immediately. "Makes sense, Hmm..." Naruto trails, going into deep thought for a moment, before the walls, and water around them seems to shake a bit, before in s fluid motion, becoming a clear a cliff face, looking over to the ocean, then a semi-modern house pops into existence, but complementing the area around him. "I don't believe you are evil, you just had a bad hand dealt to you, so here, its not much, but its probably more comfortable than laying on the cold, hard ground, its a little thanks for keeping me alive all these years." Naruto said, chuckling at the surprised look in Kurama's eyes.

Kurama was surprised at how quickly Naruto was able to master his mindscape, it took him 13 years to master just to the level where he could take a human form. "Wow..." Is all he could say, walking to the house, and checking the interior out, looking amazing, and considering where he was once before, this seemed like Caesars palace compared to his previous dwellings. "Thank you, this is the nicest thing anyone has done for me." Kurama said, genuinely happy by his hosts kindness.

Naruto chuckled lightly, then bumped fists with Kurama. "Its the least I could do man." Naruto said, eye smiling at Kurama, because his mouth was normally hidden by his cloaks high collar.

"Hey kit, I want to teach you something, it will help you achieve your dream of gaining power, to protect your loved ones, bump fists with me again, but you have to take the seal off, I promise I will not do anything." Kurama said, smiling genuinely.

Naruto's eyes narrowed his eyes at Kurama, over the years, Naruto had become an expert of judging peoples characters after talking to them for a while, feeling no hidden agenda, and his worlds not giving him any odd vibes. 'Unless he has found a way to trick our bond, he is telling the truth.' Naruto thought to himself, Kurama's smile never faltering.

Kurama raised an eyebrow at Naruto curiously "Well what's your decision? If you don't trust me, then I don't mind, I can help you anyway." Kurama said truthfully, then the seal appeared on the front door.

Naruto eyed the seal analytically, still pondering whether or not he should remove it. 'I can rear him in with my Rinnegan if he gets out, so I have a safty measure.' Naruto thinks to himself, then nodded at his plan. "Look me in the eyes Kurama." Naruto said evenly, and Kurama was a bit nervous about doing this, for obvious reasons, but complied.

Kurama saw what he thought was Naruto's rinnegan spin for a second, but he didn't lose control, or feel like he's being controlled. "What was that?" Kurama asked curiously, but Naruto shook his head lightly.

"Just a safety measure for both of us." Naruto says, telling half the truth, before reaching for the seal, pulling it off, feeling a slight pain in his stomach, but he keeps peeling it back, the pain increasing a little more the farther he goes. "Pop!" Goes the seal, Naruto feels like the pain which was making him cringe a bit was gone. "There, how does it f-" was all Naruto could get out, before feeling like he just ran a marathon, and made 100,000 clones all in one sitting, his consciousness fading from the mindscape, landing softly on the grass.

Kurama was surprised by him passing out, but he caught him, lowering him to the grass.

oooooooooooooooooooooo

End flashback (for now):

Naruto noticed he was being spoken to by Tsunade, but was being etrapt in his thoughts. "Sorry Oba-chan, I got lost in thought." Naruto said with a nervous chuckle, before returning his attention to her, giving her his full attention now back to earth.

Tsunade sweat dropped at this, but nodded, not liking to repeat what she said. "I said... Since you are team leader, you, and Kurenai have to go over the mission details, before deciding to go or not." Tsunade said, a tick mark appearing on her forehead. "Other than that, you are to discuss this mission with no one, b-rank, and higher, are not even to be discussed with the Hokage in some situations." Tsunade said, visibly relaxing a bit.

Naruto nodded, before picking up the b-rank scroll, and opening it, and reading its contents. 'A search, and recovery mission? Seems easy enough.' Naruto thought to himself, then read the bottom part. 'Chance to evolve into a-rank or higher, if engaged by a higher ranking nin, abandon immediately, aside from item requested to be recovered, spoils of battle found are free reign.' Naruto read to himself, raising an eyebrow to the last part, but passing the scroll to Kurenai. "I think we can handle this, seems easy enough, but what is to be recovered? It wasn't in the mission details..." Naruto mused out loud, as he eyed a picture Tsunade said to him. "So its a search, and rescue mission more like?" Naruto asked curiously.

Kurenai reviewed the scroll, before viewing the picture. "Let me guess... She has the item, but she is to be recovered too?" Kurenai asked, quirking an eyebrow slightly, before Tsunade nodded.

Kiba looked at the picture, then noted she was beautiful. "What's her name?" Kiba asked curiously, noting there wasn't a name for the lady nearby.

Tsunade shook her head a bit. "No one knows her real name, but she goes by the alias of 'Shina'." Tsunade said, chuckling lightly.

Naruto nodded, closing his eyes for a second, memorizing the the picture, more specifically her eyes. 'Even if she gets her face changed, the eyes never lie.' Naruto thought, after opening his eyes, finished memorizing the picture, and her eyes. "Alright Oba-chan, thank you for the chance to prove ourselves." Naruto said, another tick mark appearing on Tsunades forehead from her hated name. "What do you think Kurenai-sensei?" Naruto asked, ignoring Tsunades obvious annoyance.

Kurenai thought for a second, then nodded "I think we need to do about two weeks worth of packing." Kurenai said with a smirk, causing all her students smiles to widen even more in happiness.

"Yata!" They all exclaimed in unison, hugging each other in turn. "Alright! Dismissed!" Tsunade yelled to be heard over the turmoil in her office.

"Meet up at the front gate, in an hour." Kurenai said, then everyone shunshied away, leaving Tsunade to work with the bain of her existence, paperwork.

Tsunade sighed, with the annoyances finally out of her hair. 'We meet again my nemesis...' Tsunade thought, before reading over a request for some Suna nin to come in for the chunin exams coming up. 'Alright, this should liven up the leaf village.' Tsunade thought with a light chuckle, signing off.

oooooooooooooooooooooooo
Scene change:

Naruto and Hinata had a bundle of storage scrolls behind them, some were closed, signifying they were packed. "I am nearly done, what about you?" Naruto asked over his shoulder at Hinata.

Hinata looked over scroll, she was a little over halfway done. "Same here Naru-kun." Hinata said with a slight smile, before starting to pack again.

After about an hour of comfortable silence while packing, they headed for the leaf gate. "I wonder where Kurenai sensei and the rest are?" Hinata said, not being able to see them at the front gate with her byakugan, even though they were a few minutes late, then looked go Naruto.

Naruto had his calm face, but he could see the rest of the team, they were hidden, ready to surprise her for her birthday. 'I hope she's surprised at what I got her for her birthday.' Naruto thought with a smile.

Hinata was curious about what the random smile was about, but decided to ignore it, because they had arrived at the gate. "K-kyahhhh!" Was all she could exclaim, waking even the deep napping Nara. "N-Naruto-kun! Y-you meanie! You knew this was coming didn't you?!" She exclaimed, trying to calm her racing heart from the sudden surprise.

Kurenai just patted her on the back, and chuckled lightly. "Actually no, I just think he saw us hidden, with birthday banners, sorry we scared you half to death." Kurenai said with a nervous chuckle, then turning to the gate. "Kiba! Lets go!" Kurenai said in a commanding tone at the genin who was clutching his sides, laughing at Hinata's reaction.

Naruto kicked Kiba's leg lightly, trying to get him up. "You heard the lady, lets go." Naruto said in a calm tone, but Kiba bolted up at Naruto's command.

Kurenai's eyes widened a bit at Kiba's sudden change in heart, and she would have to convince Naruto to give her his dog whistle, to keep him in line one day. "Alright, you guys know the mission, we are heading to the edges of Tsuchi no Kuni, and we have been given permission to enter their domain without fear of a national incident." Kurenai said with her normal all business tone, no joking.

Naruto nodded, with the rest of them in agreement. "With that being said, please don't do anything stupid to the natives their, or what looks like their monuments please." Naruto said bluntly, pointed at Kiba more than anything, since he was the knucklehead of the team, who thought with his claws, rather than his head normally.

Kiba looked insulted by this "Give a guy a break! He breaks one stone in the stone village by accident, and he gets labeled for life!" Kiba said dejectedly.

Kurenai got a tick mark on her forehead, before using 'big head no jutsu!' "You got us banned from that village for life! If it wasn't for my quick thinking it would have been an international incident!" Kurenai exclaimed in increasing volumes, the bigger her head, and anger got, the more Kiba shrunk away.

(Just imagine Iruka when he yells at Naruto for doing something stupid, also Tsuchi no Kuni, is literally "Land Of Earth" which is the Tsuchikage's village.)

Naruto snickered a bit, trying not to laugh too hard, but not succeeding very well. "Its true, but we are on a time sensitive schedule, so lets go?" Naruto asked, reigning in his laughter.

Kurenai returned to her normal calm, and collected state, then took point, then looked over to Izumo, and Kotetsu who were normally standing guard at the gate. "Catch" Kurenai said, then tossed Izumo the mission certification scroll, allowing them to leave the village.

Izumo looked over the scroll for a second, before nodding, tossing the scroll back to Kurenai. "Alright, you are clear to go." He says, then they start continuing their journey to Tsuchi no Kuni.

Naruto panned his sight across the tree line that he could see as they rapidly tree hopped torwards their destination. "We should reach it in a few hours, but it will be night fall soon, so we will stop then for the night." Naruto says, as he takes point noticing a boulder on the main trail, that has no earthly buisness doing there. 'I see something' Naruto whispers to his team, using chakra to coushin his sound, then sneeks down the tree, creeping up behind the boulder, or what he thought was the back of the boulder, his chakra suppressed. "Come out, or we will force you out." Naruto said plainly, then a few seconds later, he heard chuckles from the rock that had no earthly place doing there.

Two Tsuchi rogue-nin popped out of the rock, as it crumbled around them. "Seems you saw us throught our perfect diguise!" The first one said, her male counterpart, picking up where she left off. "We planned that perfectly, to stop their mission, but seems we failed." The male said, sighing a bit.

Naruto's eyebrow twitched in annoyance at the impromptu comedy team. "You guys will leave us alone, or we will force you to..." Naruto said, turning away from the two idiots from before.

"Hey! That was rude! You didn't even give us the chance to introduce ourselves!" The red head exclaimed in a shrill voice that hurt Naruto's ears. "To renounce the evils of villages, and clans!" The female says, striking a pose that makes her look like she is crazy. "To reach for the godly skills above!" The guy says, striking the same pose as his female counter part, but on the opposite side. "Aya!" the lady yells, making everyone assume it was her name. "Tsuna!" the male couterpart yells, identifying himself as Tsuna. "Anti-Akatsuki are her now, surrender, or prepare to fight!" They yell in unision, causing Naruto to get a forehead tick in annoyance. "Gamatsuki! Thats right!" A toadsummon, that appeared in a puff of smoke at their feet.

(See what I did there? Lol, its a work in progress)

Naruto was slowly loosing his patience, especially after they announced what Naruto assumed was their organization name. "Shinra Tensei!" Naruto exclaimed, placing a hand outward torwards the idiotic trio, an invisible wall, slamming against them, blasting them off, before dissapearing with a flash.

Naruto turned back to his teamates who were in the tree's, safely out of the range of his attack, seeing the surprised looks on their faces, he silently cursed himself for letting them see his ace move because of anger. "Ehe heh heh heh... Pretend you didn't see that please!" Naruto pleaded, he didn't want anyone knowing about his special ability yet, because if the village knew he had a jutsu that could level the entire village in an instant, they would nit hesitate to kill him in his sleep, or something.

They all nodded, slightly understanding why he wanted the secracy. "You will have to teach me how to do that!" Kiba exclaimed in excitment at the literally, blow all enemies away attack.

Naruto shook his head lightly. "Its not that I dont want to, its that I cant, unless you suddenly develop Rinnegan." Naruto said, motioning to his ever active doujutsu, which had a slight red tint to them, but it soon faded as they returned to their normal, pale lavender, but the rings seemed to spin a bit. "Its getting late, lets set up camp for the night." Naruto said, pointing at a nearby clearing, just out of normal line of site from most, they were about 5 miles out from the leaf village, but 4 miles before they came to the border, seperating the nations, then they set up camp for the night, taking watch in 4 hour shifts each, with a sound trap for intruders.

oooooooooooooooooooooo

I will end it there for now, please R&R!

Ja Ne Mina!
