The Path to Peace

Chapter 3:Useless fan-girls, Physcos, and swordplay

After catching their mission scroll team 7 Kakashi says, " Ok team you have the rest off the day so go do want you want just be sure your on time in the morning and pack for a month long mission."

"So that means get there at 10 instead because lord knows you won't be there at 7?" Naruto snorts while turning away from the group and walking out the door leaving the mission office with his two team mates in toe. Kakashi waits for his team to leave before turning back to Sarutobi and says "Hokage-sama i need to talk to Cat."

Sarutobi's curiosity piqued he asks, "And what would that be about Kakashi?"

"Naruto asked if I knew anyone who could teach him how to use his new sword and I said I Knew a few who could help, so I was thinking either Cat or Hayata seeing as hey are the best in the village." Kakashi answers with his nose in his ever present orange book.

With a sigh and he wave of his hand Sarutobi says, "I don't see why not."

At this moment an ANBU with long purple hair and a single katana strapped to her back steps out of the shadows. Stepping in next to Kakashi as he turns toward her and says, "I know you heard what this is about. So what do you say huh Yugao?"

"well I can't teach him the ANBU style but the basics should be ok." The now named Yugao answers but continues, "I'll have a few scrolls ready for you in the morning before you leave."

Kakashi nods accepting the help she is giving knowing it's more then he could have done. Yugao returns to the shadows and protecting the hokage while Kakashi turns leaving the mission office.


The next morning

Its 8:30am when Naruto finally gets to the main gate, arriving he see the ever brooding Sasuke leaning against the main gate. Naruto doesn't even acknowledge the Uchiha as he walks to the opposite side of the gate. Removing his sword from his back he sits and leans back against the wall and rests his sword in his lap. Closing his eyes he thinks, 'Man why does my team have to suck so bad? Sasukes a good fighter but he's an arrogant asshole, but at least he's not useless like Sakura. She's smart and all but she know next to NOTHING but the three academy jutsu and the tree walking exercise that Kakashi taught us (Kakashi has actually taken teaching seriously he's still lazy but doesn't want his students to die). Plus i don't think she even read the scrolls that sensei gave us on Jutsu we should learn. I mean come on I know Shadow clones, a few wind jutsu, I train as much as i can, and I'm picking up Kenjutsu as well' Naruto sighs finishes he thoughts. Shaking the depressing thoughts out of his he relaxes and falls into the lotus position hoping that he doesn't get a repeat of Sakura's howler monkey imitation.

Almost an hour later Sakura skips up to the gate and see both Sasuke and Naruto, getting closer shes Naruto sitting with his eyes closed and thinks she can get revenge for yesterday. Slowing down she starts getting close when Sasuke speaks for the first time, "Sakura that's not a good idea, he's not alseep."

Sakura shrugs and in a rare whispers she says, "He has to be he's was dead-last"

She finishes speaking and once again raises her right fist, sitting there Naruto knows whats going on and smiles inwardly as he gets to put the fan-girl in her place again, so he sits there quietly and waits. While swinging her fist down Naruto explodes into action, leaning back while grabbing his sword in his left hand he dodges the sloppy haymaker. Pushing off with his right hand kicks Sakura's legs out from under her, Naruto using his momentum stands and throws a quick jab into Sakura's stomach as the she falls forcing he to hit the ground harder.

Naruto dusts himself off and says, "Sakura i told you yesterday that if you tried to hit me again i would i hit you and guess what, I did you need to learn that I'm not your punching bag."

Naruto turns to Sasuke and sees him Shrugs and say, "I tried to warn her it's her fault."

Naruto snorts and says, "I know i heard you."

This was the moment the Kakashi chose to arrive with the client and see Sakura on the ground catching her breath, Naruto stand over he, and Sasuke still brooding. Kakashi shakes his head and helps Sakura stand then ask, "Did you learn you lesson now?"

Sakura only nods her head while walks past and stand next to Sasuke as far away from Naruto as possible. Kakashi turns to address his team and states, "This is our client his names is Tazuna we are to escort him to the wave and protect him while he finishes the bridge he is building, it's three days to the wave country team lets move out." Getting nods from team 7 they start to walk through the gates when Kakashi tosses a scroll to Naruto and adds, "Oh, Naruto here a scroll from a friend in ANBU on basic exercises and sword maintenance. They couldn't give you there style because they use the ANBU style but it should do for now."

"Thanks sensei, i understand it'll do for now." Naruto says catching the scroll and quickly opens it and starts reading.

Sakura a little pissed that Naruto is getting something else to study asks, "How come Naruto get scrolls to help him learn and we don't?"

Kakashi sighs and says, "He asked for help Sakura, neither you or Sasuke did."

"BUT..." She starts to scream but Naruto cuts her off, "Sakura we are on a mission shut the fuck up and try and act like a ninja not a useless fan-girl, besides did you or Sasuke go out and buy a sword?"

Sakura shakes her head and Naruto adds, "Thats what I thought so go stare at Sasuke."

Naruto turns back to his scroll and continues to read while Kakashi shake his and takes his little orange book out and begins to read.


A few hours later Naruto finishes his scroll and places it in a pocket, then unstraps his sword from his back and ties it to his waist after reading that it being there is the best place for quick draws and easy carry. Finishing up he looks up to see Kakashi leading the group then Tazuna and Sakura just in front of him, shifting his sight he sees Sasuke on his right. Looking forward he sees a puddles on the side of the road and thinks, 'Wait, it's summer and it hasn't rained in days are they really that dumb'. Finishing his thought he sees Kakashi look down and have similar thoughts then look back, Naruto nods letting his sensei know the he saw it as well. Naruto grips the sheath just below the hilt like the scroll explained with his left hand and prepares.

Just the as reach the puddle the would be assassins strike, they erupt from the puddle and wrap Kakashi in their shuriken chain. Feeling it snag and tighten, the assassins give a shape yank and it rips through leaving what looks like a shower of blood and guts. Naruto and Sasuke both look over to each other quickly and nod then rush into action. Exploding past Sakura and tazuna, speeding forward Naruto draws his katana and lashes out at the ninja on the left. The ninja side steps the slash and dashes past heading straight for the bridge builder and Sakura, but as the chain speeds past Naruto sword slices through it. Naruto turns to give chase and sees Sasuke doing the same only to watch as Kakashi suddenly materializes in front of Sakura and clothesline both ninja stopping them cold.

Kakashi turns to his two male students and says, "Nice job you two you reacted well, and Naruto your a natural with that sword but you're just getting started so you'll need to stick with it."

Naruto and Sasuke both nod and smile at their respective praise. then Kakashi turns back to Tazuna and says, "Now Tazuna would you like to tell me why the hell there are missing nin after you head?"
