On with the story :)
Itachi and Naruto were in Kusa watching their targets move around the camp planning on what to do, there were about 60-70 bandits which were really cannon fodder to the two powerful shinobi but there were two things they had to plan around: one they had a small group of women and teenage girls in a guarded tent something that nearly made Naruto rush in wildly as he guessed why they were there. The only things to stop him were Itachi and his pokemon, barely and the second problem which walked around in the form of Kurosaki Raiga wielder of the twin thunder blades kiba. As a former member of the seven swords men of the mist he was and A-rank ANBU level shinobi, however Naruto was trying to convince Itachi he could take him.
"Come on Itachi," he hissed at his sensei/partner, "I know I can take him cause I'm at least as skilled as him with my swords and I have a trump card or two which you know about besides even if I do lose, my summons can help me win."
Itachi was not quite as confidant as Naruto but after knowing him for a lot of his life and so being aware that if there was one thing he got from his family (not that he'd ever say it) was his mother's stubbornness. "All right fine, you can fight Raiga but be careful even if you are good remember to infuse your blades with wind chakra as he can channel lightning chakra through his swords. But how are you planning to help the hostages." This was something Itachi had decided and it was to let Naruto plan their attack first as practice for the future, however Itachi would be sure to approve any plans before they were put into action.
"I was planning on having Artemis and Anubis guard the tent whilst Mew goes in and helps them as I don't think they'd appreciate either of us going in there, but Mew is A female summon, I would send Artemis, but I think she would work better at beating up the Bandits instead." Getting a nod from his pokemon who clearly agreed with the plan.
Itachi seeing no real risk other than Naruto fighting Raiga whilst he dealt with most of the Bandits agreed but made a suggestion. "I recommend that you kill one of the Bandits before you get to Raiga as Hesitation in killing him if you get the opportunity could kill you against someone like him so get your first kill from one of the Bandits so you can adjust before Raiga getting a slow nod from Naruto who now had a slightly nervous look at the thought of his first kill. "We will attack tonight so prepare and get ready, I will strike at the other end of the camp from Raiga so you should be able to get to him before the alarm is raised." With that they went to prepare for the nights attack.
Naruto was counting down the time until he started his part of the attack and as he neared zero he slipped a mask down over his face. The mask was a gift from the distortion pokemon Giratina along with being taught how to use its signature move shadow force, the mask looked like a completely black ANBU shaped mask and about half way up a what looked like the front of the gold part of origin Giratina's face except in silver. The mask distorted his voice and made his eyes look red and combined with the rest of his look even Itachi admitted it looked rather intimidating and as he reached zero he used shadow force to vanish and reappear behind a Bandit who had just walked away from the camp presumably to do his business in the trees and Naruto paused for a moment before he moved up to him and put a hand over his mouth and one of his swords through his heart. He felt the body in his hands tense and struggle slightly before he stilled and his life passed on, at first Naruto was a but lost in a mix of horror and disgust at what he did but he thought back to sime advice itachi told him before he went to his position and that was to remember who, what and why you fight and kill, and thinking that he did this force the women they kidnapped and his friends that could have been hurt by them, made it a bit easier to deal with.
As he recovered he made his way into the camp sliping by unnoticed in the shadows, occasionally using shadow force again when there was no clear path. At one point before he reached Raiga's tent which was really more of a pavilion, he saw a flash of silver which must have been Artemis making her way to the women's tent, and with that he calmed his mind, opened his aura sense and went inside the swordsman's tent.
The inside was empty except for Raiga himself who was sitting on a chair which was actually more of a throne and he walked forward being noticed rather quickly by Raiga who simply asked if he was another weakling sent to kill him. Replying by drawing his swords he began to channel wind chakra through them as the screams began outside as itachi and his pokemons attack must have finally escalated making Raiga raise a brow before he smiled and got up drawing his own two swords and said. "So this is a duel between swordsmen eh, as your friends outside kill my bandits, hmf I'll kill you quickly before I kill them as bandits are harder to gather than one might think." And with that said the two expert swordsmen began to duel.
If Raiga was totally honest with himself, he was a bit concerned with the person before him, not only was their appearance rather unnerving with those red eyes that seemed to follow him everywhere and yet remain unblinking but the person was actually a very good swordsman. He used two long straight blades in perfect sync with each other unlike his own blades which were shorter than normal. He was also apparently capable of using wind chakra as the lightning chakra his blades emitted had no affect on him what so ever. The most worrying thing however was that they seeded completely at ease and were almost dancing around his attacks with a combination of dodges, counters and blocks that left him completely untouched, not that he could say the same after getting nicked several time by the longer black blades. Seeing his opponent slowly speeding up as their dance of blades continued he began to actually fear for himself, something that shouldn't happen for a former member of the seven swords of the mist like him when facing some nobody but this person was just that good.
Seeing his options begin to dwindle as the fight dragged on he broke off and began to prepare one of his nin-kenjutsu lightning ball, by no means his strongest jutsu but one of his fastest and the best one to use inside as it also wasn't raining. He launched his jutsu towards the immobile warrior in front of him with a shout of, "LIGHTNING BALL!" But was shocked when his opponent simply increased the output if wind chakra in one of his blades and cut through it before appearing before him and saying his only words in the entire encounter. "Sacred sword," his blades began to glow with white light and were swung diagonally upwards simultaneously cutting through his hasty block and the blades themselves like they weren't there along with most of his upper torso ending the fight and his life.
Naruto stood staring down at his fallen foe as he thought about the fight, It certainly wasn't easy but he hadn't by any means gone all out either. Really he was lucky that Raiga stuck almost entirely to kenjutsu as they were indoors because compared to the sword pokemon he trained with he was a lot slower and had an actual body to hit making thing infinitely easier.
He had just sealed Raiga's head along with the remains of the kiba blades and they left with itachi sayintg he left a shadow clone to lead the women back to the nearest village who had many thanks for the summoner of the creatures that freed them. As they left none of them noticed a small grass-nin who had seen the whole fight and knew he had someone knew to report about so they could be added to their bingo books as anyone capable of taking down a member of the seven swords men with pure kenjutsu needed to be looked out for.
As they neared the village gates itachi said that after they had been debriefed after their first mission there was something he wanted to talk to him about. Naruto's pokemon ran off before they went through the gates saying they'd probably meet them back at the Uchiha house and they entered the village once more.
After they woke up the two gate guards, Izumo and Kotetsu they went up to the Hokages office where the said hokage had a little smirk on his face and he spoke after they greeted each other saying. "Well you certainly got more than you bargained for, for a simple c-rank bandit camp elimination, didn't you." seeing the slight confusion on Naruto's face whilst Itachi remained impassive he decided to elighten them and picked up a small thick book off his desk and handed it to them telling them it was the latest edition of the bingo book which was updated yesterday, and telling them to look at a certain page in the top of the A-rank section. What they saw was certainly not expected as even Itachi's face showed surprise as he read the short page in front of them.

To say they were surprised was an understatement, one mission and Naruto made the bingo book and Itachi didn't know whether to be proud of or worried about his student but knew he hoped that now more than ever he would accept his offer.
With them both lost in thought Minato snapped them out of it with a quick clear of his throat getting their attention once more. "I must certainly saw I'm impressed that Naruto, you made the bingo book on your first mission, and must be one of the youngest ever to be in the bingo book and in light of this anf your apparent capabilities I have decided to make you a jonin." he chuckled at the gobsmacked look he was getting from the younger Uchiha while the elder simply raised a questioning brow before he continued.
"It is highly irregular I know but I will promote you but I will also keep you two together as a backup squad or rather backup pair for the current genin teams when they start their c-ranks in about 2 maybe 3 weeks depending on their patience." He said with a smile, "anyway most jonin are already aware since I announced it would happen earlier today in a Jonin meeting. I'll let Itachi explain how the jonin system works Naruto and I wish you luck with Mikoto," he finished with an amused chuckle at the two Uchiha's expressions before they shunshined out of his office Itachi in a flock of crows and Naruto doing the same half a second later with expressions of pure panic on their faces.
Sitting down in the living room of their house with Satsuki and Fugaku out and Anubis, Artemis and Mew all wisely staying away until things calmed down, were Naruto and Itachi who were currently trembling slightly as Mikoto got them drinks appearing perfectly calm on the outside.
As their drinks were placed next to them, they braced for the storm that they thought was about to hit but were completely gobsmacked when Mikoto let out a massive squeal and started gushing about how proud she was of them for being so successful on their first mission, and how proud she was of Naruto of getting in the bingo book already. The surrogate siblings shared an uneasy glance before Naruto dared to ask. "I'm really grateful for what you said Mikoto but um... aren't you... I don't know, annoyed at us for fighting Raiga,?"
"Oh, don't worry Naruto, I'm not angry at you so why don't you go into the garden and do some training or something whilst I talk to Itachi." She said he smile becoming to nice with Naruto bolting the moment that look showed up with a small apologetic glance at Itachi before he left the house. "Now young man, why don't we discuss exactly what possessed you to let Naruto fight Raiga without even a clone watching him!" She stated as KI(killing intent) started to flood the room with an oni mask appearing behind her as Itachi thought. "Well, I'm screwed."
Leaving the Uchiha premises just as Mikoto's KI began to fill the air, making him shiver and be extremely thankful it wasn't directed at him, he wandered around the village until he stopped at a training ground were sounds of fighting could be heard. Making his way over whilst hiding his presence as he didn't know who was there, he bore witness to one of team seven's afternoon spars. This was between Mito and Naruko. As he observed his biological siblings fight he couldn't deny their skill however that was to be expected due to their parents. Their styles reflected the person whose clan they were heir to however with Mito being whirling and unpredictable and Naruko being fairly straight forward in comparison but a lot faster. He slowly expanded his senses to look for the other two members of team seven and found Kakashi working with Satsuki apparently on some elemental manipulation exercises.
Seeing that both his families training was going well he moved on with them none the wiser(not that he really cared about the former.
As he reached the training ground he and Itachi normally used he was greeted by his pokemon. "So how did it go?" Asked Anubis, smiling at his friends concern he replied, "it all went fine for me but I can't say the same for Itachi, however as he is probably getting a massive tongue lashing right now." He explained with a chuckle but feeling a tad worried for him at the same time, "anyway, we can worry about Itachi later but we should probably start training eh?"
"Yeah last mission went well but it could have been worse especially if you had been outside Naruto with worse weather." Said Artemis
"She's right, you did fine and didn't go all out, or anything near it but if he had gotten his stronger jutsu's off you might've had trouble." Added Mew
"I know which is why I'm probably gonna work with you Mew, we should probably play dodge, duck and roll again to work on my reflexes some more." Said Naruto with reluctance which turned into fear as Mew began to chuckle darkly as her eyes began to glow and various items began lift off the floor as she used Psychic. Sighing at their friends retreating forms as they moved further away with Naruto avoiding Mew's chosen projectiles every so often Artemis turned to Anubis and they both began their usual spar to test and improve themselves.
This was the scene Itachi came to when he at last escaped from his mother's wrath for leaving her adopted younger son in such a dangerous position without backup. Watching for a moment as Naruto threw curses about whenever his was hit by various objects. Unfortunately for him the only items that hit him were moving very fast and of course hurt the most, meanwhile Artemis and Anubis were having a pause in between their spars, discussing what they thought they and each other did well or not.
Calling out to them they quickly stopped their activities and came over to him with questions about how badly Mikoto punished him to which he replied that it was, fortunately, more verbal than Physical.
Pushing his thoughts aside he spoke. "Naruto as your aware you are one of the uchiha clan in almost every way even by blood although it is to a small degree," getting a nod from the dark haired boy who now possessed a confused face that was clearly wonder where this was going although the pokemon already knew due to Itachi asking them about it. "The only thing you don't have," he continued as he reached into his pockets, "is our kekkei genkai, something I am now offering to rectify." He finished as he came withdrew from his pockets holding a small vial with two objects within. Two eyes. Two sharingan eyes…
A/N:chapter 3 is up and has a couple of new things including the first fight which was unfortunately small but I hope is acceptable for now and I will try and do things like levels for the pokemon next chapter however I will not release Artemis' eevee Luton until it happens but the name should give a large hint the cliffhanger will be continued and answered hopefully along with any questions anyway please R&R I would really appreciate new ideas for the plot or a couple of ocs which I might use for the chunin exams which will happen in the future (distant for now)
