Six weeks... six fucken weeks... six bloody fucken weeks of labour tasking bullshit. And for what? For What I say?! For the amount money to which was less than what he got as payment for Orphan allowance? At first it was some like fetching groceries, painting fences, walking dogs, or catching this damn fucking cat that he now held by its neck.

Oh would he wished he coulds snap its neck... all it will take is just a slight flex in his thumb and the bastard that thing thst calls itself a cat would be dead. Alas tis but but a fools dream. His dream was greater. He wanted to rip the troat of the old man he had called jiji since his younger youth days, out so he ciuld watch him claw at his own thoat to stop the bleating.

Oh, his dream will come true if the visions from his future self should come to pass. But still the future was not set in stone, like how it is said. "The past is set in stone, the present is to be written, and the future yet to be thought of."

But still minor thing always came to pass, major things have yet to. He vastly enjoyed the failed attempts by the civilian council to get kakashi to take the uchiha on his team. But due to... some persuasion. It had ended with naruto being his only student.

One good thing about that slight control he had over the jonin was that the day after his test, kakashi started him on chakra control with tree walk with numerous clones. While balancing a kunai on each finger. Three weeks later he started his water walking exercise while dodging countless shuriken and balancing kunai. This week however started weight seals and repeating the same thanked his ancestor keketsu uzumaki for her ablitly to creat blood clones which allowed him to gain any physical build that clones had gained. Be it food, muscle, or stamina; it three days he gain three months worth of exercise, his chakra control was just below jonin now, even his build was coming along splendidly. Going from the shortest in class at 5' 1 to 5' 9. Just three inches taller than shino. Much to his inner pride at finally being tall. Most his baby fat was gone leaving behind sharp and handsome features that started to draw the attention of some of the young women in the village. The most notably a miss Anko Mitarashi, who for some reason wanted to taste his blood at first until she got a look from the mask of fear. And backed away as fast as she could.

While she was afriad of what could lay under the hood, it didn't stop her from teaskng the poor boy with some outragous and some discrete innuendos.

But back to the matter at hand, the blood cat. He just wanted his pay and leave or better yet, a better fucken mission.

"Tora mission complete." Kakashi said as he looked to his apprentice with pride.

"Excelent now, i have walk the inuzuka dogs, watching the elder council's grandchildern, or..." "TORA COME BACK TO MOMMY!" "Sigh, catch tora again." Said Sarutobi as he looked at the duo standing before him.

"Oh hell NO! I had it up to here with these... these -" "glorified chores" "yes, thank you. These glorified chores. I want a better mission. This this are something that should have been done in the academy. Not newly minted genie. I bet other nations will see us as a laughing stock. I could hear it now. "Look at those pathatic konoha ninja making their genin do chores when our genin are already killing bandits and assassination missions. They are truly pathatic." Do yiu want the village and its ninja to look like second rate losers? Well do ya?" Said naruto as he slamed him hand down on the desk while sending small traces of chakra outwards infecting sarutobi, if by just a little. "Think about if we get academy students to do these before hand, genin, chuunin, jonin and ect. Will be able to attain more missions thus allowing more income. Make things easier since 85% of all the paper work you do is for d-rank mission why not let the meadmaster of the academy do it?"

While all the senior ninja looked on in awe at the brilliance of the idea, the did not bother to think of the hidden motive of the uzumaki plans. After all the fool is always overlooked.

"A fine idea, naruto-kun. An as a reward you will get a higher rank mission. Iruka, could please send in Mr. Tazuna, please." And with that the tan chuunin went to let in a shaggy dressed man that stank of sake. Showing he was cleanly drunk.

"Eh? This is what i get for paying you? A Cyclops, and a hooded idiot." Said the man as he took another swig.

"Tazuna-kun, you should speek unkindly about those that willing to help you." Came a voice the shocked him to his core, turning to see someone that had died decades ago.

"Amebara-chan..." the man choked out, no from fear but from sadness.

"Now, you have been drinking? Such a disappointment. After all these years, have yet to let go of the past." That was all that wss said before the hood was pulled over to cast shadow over the face.

"Interesting, you do not fear ghosts from your past. But the fear of letting go." Was all naruto could say as he left the room from the window. "Kakashi, i will be at the main gate in 30 mins... dont be late."

With the hidden threat hanging in the air. After tazuna had left the office to be at the gate on time leaving behind the jonin sensei and the elder hokage.

"Kakashi, i will be sending team 12; jonin hon skiller, and his students-"

-main gate-

Naruto sat on a park bench waiting along with tazuna for his sensei to show up, his semsei as of now is 3 minutes late, Acceptable, but irritating.

That was until he saw his sensei appeared with a nervous... or terrified look on his face, or what is visible. But his answer came in the form of four individuals. One was rather tall, the other threee were under his hight. But it was two of the four that made his brow twitch. Sasuke and sakura, fallowed by a pale skinned boy with a fake smile plastered on face.

Naruto's irrations sky-rocketed the moment he saw the smug look on the uchiha's face, a condescending smirk dance sinsisterly upon the face of the uchiha. While a awe admiring look on the pinkette's as she looked to the uchiha as if worshiping a god made flesh.

"Kakashi... you have three words to explain, NOW!"

"Uuuuh... third hokage's orders?" Kakashi asked since he was unsure of himself.

"Fine if they get in my way... i will put them in the ground. Stupid fucken civilian council have no right in shinobi matters." Nauto said as he left leaving behind his sensei and the members of team 12.

After traveling for six hours, naruto had notice a puddle of water on the side of the road, which he found odd as the last time it had rained was over three weeks ago. So this was not a normal puddle. Sending out a few quick pulses, naruto found a genjutsu was hiding two people. Bu due to the few he sent out he was unsure if they were male or female.

But no sooner did they passed by the puddle did they people hiding struck as they wrapped chained shuriken around his sensei. Before the members of team 12 could acted naruto already in action as he sent one of the chained gloved men, face into his knee while used the same leg to kick the other in his throat, after he broke the nose of the one he just kneed.

"Get out here now kakashi, i do not have time for this mockery of testing my ablities." Said the blond as his hand took on a black wisp like mist look as he grabbed the man with the broken nose. "Mr. Tazuna... when were you gonna tell us that this Gato man had bleed you country?... never mind. Lets just continue."

With that naruto would have continue his walk, until he heard a scoffing sound. Turning to see team 12 were going back to konoha.

"Never in my life would i have seen a uchiha running away like a beaten dog." Naruto thought aloud. But it was loud enough to make the sole uchiha to stop mid-stride. Before turning his sights onto the blond.

"Care to repeat that dope?" Came the cold reply.

"Yeah, an Uchiha is said to run towards danger, not a way. Maybe thats why your brother left you a live. After all yiu must be a bastard child. A lowlife uchiha to runaway like a coward." The blond said as he continued his walk until felt the slight ping of heat coming closer.

In a display of pure speed naruto was already behind the uchiha, unknown to the other members of team 12. Naruto struck the arrogent you in the neck. Paralysis took hold of him, being unable to move. Fear once again gripped him like the day of the genin test.

"Foolish boy. I hope you know i own your ass now. For attacking a fellow leaf ninja is a high price of treason. That should i die you will be killed, but since i am alive... you will be punished severely." He said before turning to the jonin sensei of team 12. "Keep you disgusting rabbid dog on a shorter leash... someone might put him down for good."

With that naruto kept walking with kakashi joining him as he escorted tazuna back to his home country.

Little did they know that hiding beyond the mist was a demon waiting to strike. But the question is... does the demon have the power to defeat the devil or will he be defeated by the devil.
