Chapter 4: C-Rank Mission

Disclaimer: I do not nor ever will own Naruto.

1 Month after Meeting Anko

Naruto with the help of his 4 senseis (he started calling Kyuubi sensei.) He had become easily mid to high Chunin level in skill. His jutsu arsenal had catapulted during Kyuubi's sleep sessions to Jonin level. They had also developed Naruto's Kagebushin training, thus speeding up his training tenfold. He had become faster and stronger under Yugao and Anko's Training. His teamwork had also improved to the point it became and quote "Troublesome for the enemy."

His female senseis took great pride in seeing Naruto's growth. Kurenai in seeing he was able to notice and quickly dispel most of her genjutsu. Though still not capable of casting his own. Much to her disappointment. He simply had way too much chakra and not enough control.

Yugao in seeing him become much more proficient and deadly in kenjutsu. With the rate he was improving he would be passing her in skill in a matter of months. This kind of made her lose her cool. After all how many genin could match an Anbu captain in kenjutsu. Luckily her experience would keep her ahead of him for a while.

Anko well she was just happy she could tease him. Though it angered her that he could now take it and dish it right back at her. He was bolder around his senseis. He even made Anko blush! That was something that everyone believed impossible. I mean you really have to try to make her blush.

He even met Kiba's sister Hana! Much to his discomfort.

(Flashback 3 weeks ago)

Team eight was doing their normal teamwork exercises when…

"Hey Dog Breath"

This caused everyone to turn towards the voice. Kiba growled.

"What!"

"Mom says that…" she then stopped to see a much more muscular and handsome blonde.

"Mom said what?" – Kiba

"Dog breath don't be rude! Introduce me to your team." Hana seeing her opportunity.

*sigh*"Guys this is my sister Hana" – Kiba

Pointing to Shikamaru "Hana this is Shikamaru Nara"

Now Pointing at Naruto "And this is Naru aw oof."

Kiba never finished that sentence. He was pushed out of the way and landed face first in the dirt. Hana was now in front of Naruto.

"Hello I'm Dog Breath's sister, Hana." She said smiling.

Unfortunately because of Anko, Naruto could tell when women were interested in him. And oh how he loved to tease them. Especially his senseis.

"Why hello Hana-chan, I'm Naruto. And you look absolutely stunning today." Earning a blush.

"W-why thank you." Hana now trying not to blush.

"NARUTO STOP FLIRTING WITH MY - ACK" Kiba now in a small crater in the ground courtesy of Hana.

"I'm sorry Hana maybe we could finish this conversation later? Like on a date?" – Naruto still trying to tease her.

"YES! I mean yes that would be fun." Hana trying to hide her embarrassment of yelling.

At this moment all three women who were watching this interaction were furious. She got a date and they had only met moments ago. They all new Naruto for months and haven't got a date!

"Pick me up from my compound after your training then ok!" She then left to prepare.

Naruto now smiling turned to meet three very pissed off kunoichis.

"Oh Naru-kun, how come we haven't gotten a date. Are we not your type?" Anko asked in the ever so sickly-sweet tone.

"N-no it's just that I figured that there is still early…" Naruto now trying to save his life. "and I thought I could I could treat the three of you to lunch? My Treat."

They all wanted to immediately say yes but couldn't help but love seeing him nervous. "Hmm it's fine with me I guess, how about you girls?" – Kurenai

Both nodded. And ever since then Naruto found himself dating four women.

(Flashback End)

Right now Team 8 was headed to Hokage Tower to get a mission.

"Hey Jiji were here for our mission" – Naruto

"Ah yes Team 8 right on time. Kurenai would you think your team capable of a C-rank?"

Now Kurenai thought about it. Naruto was ready for sure. Shikamaru was mentally ready that was for sure. He became stronger, much to his dismay. So he could handle it. Now Kiba well he was physically ready and, while help from Hana and Naruto was a little more calm than when they first met. But was still hot headed and loud at times. But what the two weren't ready for her and Naruto could handle, right?

"Yes Hokage-sama my team is capable." – Kurenai

"Very well. Team 8 your mission is to travel to Kirigakure and deliver this scroll to the Mizukage. Then after he has read and approved you may return home." – Hiruzen

(Thought it was gonna be the same old wave mission huh? Oh, and Mei isn't Mizukage, Yagura is but there was never a civil war in Kiri)

"Yes Hokage-sama" they chorused then left.

(Time Skip)

Team 8 had arrived and delivered the scroll to the Mizukage without any disturbance. And was now waiting his approval.

Currently Naruto was taking a stroll around Kiri. He found it nice to not be glared at by people for a change. The village was quite peaceful. Although there was an abundance of blue. And as Naruto turned a corner and WHAM! He and the person he had run into were now on the ground rubbing their sore foreheads.

Naruto recovered first and what he saw stopped him in his tracks. A woman in her early twenties was in front of him. She had long red hair that seemed silky to the touch. Her bangs covered the right side of her face that gave her a sexy mysterious look. And a body that made men mush and women jealous. A fishnet shirt showing of a generous amount of cleavage under a tight fitting blue dress. She was stunning. By now the woman had opened her green eyes. At this Naruto became lost. But quickly regained composure at the sound of…

"When I get ahold of the bastard who did that I'm gonna melt them." – The still nameless woman.

"Excuse me miss. I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." – Naruto now extending his hand to help the woman up.

"I'm Naruto by the way."

"Mei, Mei Terumi" in a slightly annoyed tone. However her tone was relaxed now that she got to see the blonde stud in front of her offering her a hand. Not many men interested her here in Kiri, but now she had her sights set on the leaf shinobi in front of her.

"Well Mei-san do you think I could take a beautiful woman out to make up for my clumsiness?" - Naruto

She contemplated this before getting a nod of approval. She then had him follow her to her favorite restaurant. They talked and flirted for a while before departing.

"Well Mei-chan I guess I'll see you around maybe?" unsure of what she thought of him.

"Why of coarse Naru-kun" Mei replied with a smile.

And with that they both departed, but not before thinking.

'Wow Mei-chan is beautiful. I hope I see her again.' – Naruto

'Naru-kun is so hot. And such a gentleman.' She appreciated the constant eye contact she never received from anyone from this village. EVER. He hadn't stared at her breasts not once the entire time. This only made him go up in her book.

Time Skip

Today was the last day of Team 8's mission and Naruto had not seen my since there little date. So he was slightly gloomy. This made Kurenai worried. She hadn't known of Narutos encounter. So she didn't know why he was depressed.

They were on their way to see the Mizukage, who got along very well with Naruto. Almost like family. It was later explained to the team that it was a Jinchuriki thing.

(Naruto had told Kiba and Shika weeks ago.)

"Hey Yagura-niisan how's the Chunin Exam invite looking?" – Naruto

"It's going fine Naruto." Yagura in an expressionless tone, never looking up from his paperwork. He then handed him a scroll that would confirm his visit to Konohagakure.

"Well then Mizukage-sama if there isn't anything else we will be returning to Konoha." – Kurenai

"Very Well I hope your stay was we" he began but never finished.

The door burst open to reveal an annoyed and frantic Mei Terumi.

"Mizukage-sama an urgent message from the Hokage has been sent asking for you… Why hello Naru-kun how have you been?" she then asked in a very flirtatious tone.

This caused Kurenai to give a jealous glare her way. How did she know her Naruto-kun?

Yagura was now angry for two reasons. One, he was interrupted. And two, this supposed urgent message was being delayed for Mei's flirting.

"Get on with it Mei."

"Huh, oh right well the Hokage asked that this be delivered to the leaf shinobi before their departure." – Mei

She then handed it to a still miffed Kurenai.

She read it and had her team informed that they would be providing back up for Team 7. Kakashi's Team.

"Excuse us Mizukage-sama but we must leave immediately." – Kurenai

"Very well, and Naruto I expect you to do well in the Chunin Exams" – Yagura

They proceeded to leave but not before Naruto was pulled into a hug by Mei thus smothering him with her cleavage.

"Goodbye Naru-Kun you be careful now ok." She said in a cheerful tone. Though on the inside she was extremely depressed. They had just met and she had finally taken an interest to him. And now he was leaving.

"Of course Mei-chan and the same goes to you." He said with the same cheerful tone. He also was saddened by the thought of leaving.

This made Kurenai imagine extremely graphic murder in her head. Even to go as far as to think of letting Anko tort… play with the red head.

They then left the office to give support to Team 7.

Meanwhile in said office with Mei and Yagura.

"Oh Mizukage-sama" Mei said in a voice that had the ever stoic Yagura scared.

"You do know you're going to allow me to accompany you to the Chunin Exams to see Naru-kun right." In the same tone.

Yagura could only nod in fear of telling her no. They both thought the same thing

'Naruto/kun is going to be in for a surprise.'

Time Skip

(Insert Fight Scene with Zabuza and Haku)

Naruto had taken his first life that day. Or hundred to be specific. After Gato threatened to use Kurenai as a sex slave Naruto used Kyuubi's chakra for the first time and slaughtered him and his men. They buried Zabuza and Haku before leaving Wave Country to return home.

Needless to say Naruto felt like shit. Kurenai had tried to help him through his guilt. But it wasn't easy. I mean normally a ninja would have taken one or two lives. Naruto took nearly 300.

"Naruto it's ok what you did has nothing to be ashamed of. If you hadn't done what you did they, could have went to the village and continued to harass them. You're a hero to them. And I know it isn't easy but this is a normal part of the life of a shinobi. And as long as you don't take pride in killing you will always be human."

Seeing exactly where this was headed she put his fears to rest.

"Ya I guess." His glum expression quickly turned happy. "After all I did have to protect my Kure-chan."

And just like that he was back.

"Yes you did and thank you Naruto. Your my hero." And gave him a kiss on the cheek. To which he blushed.

He immediately regretted it. He spent months trying to make it seem as though nothing could affect him. And now that she knew this, which meant soon Anko, Yugao, and Hana would also be able to tease him once again.

Kurenai giggled then wrapped her arms around his and leant her head on his shoulder. Which was short lived seeing as soon as he stepped foot in the village gates he was glomped by two purple blurs.

"NARU-KUN" was heard as both Anko and Yugao proceeded to squeeze the life out of Naruto.

He was barely able to say "Hey Anko-chan, Yugao-chan" before turning blue.

"Girls let him breath!" a worried Kurenai.

"Sorry" they both said with sheepish expressions on their faces. They then got Naruto to his feet and told him that he was treating them to Dango for being away for so long. Which also lead to the guilt trip of Kurenai getting to have him longer than them. He agreed but had to get his pay check that would soon be gone.

Later after mission report.

Kurenai left to her apartment to get some rest.

While Naruto used his pay check to treat his purple headed girlfriends to dinner.

"So Naruto-kun how did your mission go?" asked an interested Yugao.

Naruto immediately thought of Mei. Which brought him into a depression. Then to his massacre. This served to further depress him. He then began explaining how he met Mei. And his detour to Wave. All up to his slaughter. Both girls were filled with emotions. Sympathy for his first kill(s). Happiness for his completion. And absolute and utter hate of one Mist Kunoichi.

'How dare that tramp/slut try to steal my Naru-kun!' thought Yugao and Anko.

Yugao talked about her resent mission but kept most details to herself.

Anko did the same but told Naruto that he wouldn't be able to see her till the Chunin Exams.

They continued this until they said their goodbyes and headed to their respective homes.

Well this is the longest chapter yet. I didn't feel like writing the whole Wave Bridge Fight simply because I couldn't think of a way to write it. The poll was decided. Yet I was disappointed with the amount of votes I got. I mean the stories been up for 2 days. I got like 700 hits. Only 30 votes. The harem will contain 10 girls instead of 5. Lucky for the readers I can now use that for longer and more entertaining chapters. A new poll will be held to determine who Naruto fights in the Chunin Exams. And please REVIEW. I love the feedback I receive as I use it to improve my story. Next chapter will be up in less than 12 Hours.
