Disclaimer: I don't own naruto, If I did hinata would be in most of the movies NOT SAKURA X.X
"I want a harder mission" naruto pouted "If I have to go after that cat again I swear I'm going to lose it!"
"n-naruto kun" hinata said softly and grabbed his hand he quickly calmed himself
The hokage smiled and gave a little chuckle
"Alright I'll give you a higher ranked mission but you must find one other team along with your team to go with you"
Sasuke thought with a serious expression "great more people to slow me down"
Just then a fire bursts into the room revealing kuro and his team
"hokage-sama we accept!" ino shouted
"How long have you been there?" the hokage asked with a bit of humor
"We just came to turn in our mission and we herd everything"
-Flashback-
You want those kids to do a C rank?
"Yes but with team 7's team as well I want to see how they will fair"
"Are you sure?"
"You can have the day to yourself I already know about you and kureai" he said with a chuckle
Asuma blushed and ran about the door "their yours!" and ran out the door"
-Flashback end-
"I think you mean you herd everything and made me use a flashy entrance to get us in here in with so much style they couldn't kick us out" kuro stated
Ino pouted and grabbed sasuke by the arm
"Well think of it this way you get a harder mission and I get to be with sasuke-kun"
While the uchicha was trying to get away from ino kuro thought about it "I don't really...care for the mission I just...want acceptance if harder missions will get your acceptance I'll...do it"
"I accept also if it means getting more of a fight I'll do it" kuro said
"What about you shikamaru?"
"Its troublesome but if everyone else wants to go..." shikamaru stated
"Don't worry I'll take care of most of the work for you" kuro chuckled
"Bring him in" the hokage said firmly
The door opened slowly with a man drinking half empty booze asked in a slurred tone
"This is it? I'm going to be guarded by an arrogant jerk a midget and a shy tom boy? Not to mention the emo kid the snob and a lazy boy I may as well die now"
Killer intent rose to the breaking point all directed at the old man
Kakashi spoke up to keep the genin from killing the man
"I'm a jonin and that emo kid you just pointed out can even take me down so I suggest you keep your thoughts to yourself before you get yourself hurt."
The old man had a bit of anger on his face and said
"If a kid can beat you then how can you guarantee my safety?"
"Just trust us you'll see" he said in an amusing tone
At the village gate naruto was shouting ready to leave while the rest were behind him walking at a slow pace
"Naruto your not the leader here kakashi is" ino spat
Kuro walked up stood next to ino and said "he's just happy to be on an extended mission give him a break"
Kuro walked up to naruto and broke the ice
"Hm"
"What?"
"You seem very happy to be out of the village"
"Well yeah after all the village isn't very fond of me" he whispered in a sad tone
At that moment kuro's respect for the boy rose quite a bit.
"you and I are a lot alike then" he finally said
"What do you mean?"
"My village didn't like me much ether"
While talking kuro faintly noticed the puddle and stopped and faced the puddle
"What's wrong?" naruto asked
"Akuma no yō na Inazuma" kuro shouted and shot black lightning into the puddle and two missing nin shot out with damage from the attack
not giving them a moment to recover he quickly launched a chidori into one of the demon brothers' faces and a sa seru in the other lunging it
into the others ribs.
kakashi stepped forward
"good job I guess only a few of us caught on to that it was kind of obvious but they aren't done yet!
one of the brothers shot a poison chain into kuros leg and he went down sasuke quickly shot out a fireball jutsu at the water nin and he was incapacitated
the last one remaining was stopped by shikamaru's shadow possession jutsu while narutos shadow clones surrounded the water nin
"who hired you?" kakashi asked
"go to hell!" he said
"fine but you first"
his head was quickly severed from is torso and fell to the ground kuro was wincing at the pain as kakashi walked up and noticed
light blue fire coming from the wound and after a few seconds it was healed
"is this the power of a tailed beast or his own powers?" he thought
kuro then got up and said "I'm fine sensei the pain has passed"
"how are you fine?" ino shouted "you just got stabbed and injected with poison no less"
"if he says he's fine he's fine we need to take a break anyway and discuss the rest of the mission we can look at it then"
he said with a bit of fire in his voice glaring at tazuna
at their make shift camp the girls were tending to sasuke even though he asked them to leave him alone and naruto and hinata were
reminiscing about being a ninja while the others were talking about the mission
"spill it tazuna" kakashi said coldly
"alright, alright the reason I hired you was because a man named gato is after my life he'll do anything to make sure that bridge doesn't get complete
but please you have to help me I've got no one else to turn to" he said in a tone void of mistrust
"this mission is clearly B ranked at least its up to them if we continue or not although you have to ninjutsu and tajutsu jonin level nin here
if we continue it shouldn't be a problem, What do you all think?"
"no way I'm backing down from this mission I need to get stronger" sasuke said with a bit of anger
"if sasuke's going then I am too!" ino said with a cheer
"troublesome but we've started so not much of a choice but to keep going" shikamaru said with a neutral tone
"the hokage wouldn't run from a mission and nether will I!" naruto shouted
"I-if...naruto-kun is going...then I will too" hinata said
naruto gave her a foxy smile and she quickly hung her head in her coat and blushed
kuro stood there thinking of his options
"it's down to you" kakashi said
"I'll go but as soon as it turns dangerous make a run for it I'm pretty sure I can handle whatever comes my way but I don't want an unessicary injury" he said with a firm voice
a bit later they set out again this time kuro in the lead and behind, his team
"why are we ahead" ino asked
"because if we aren't someone could attack and shikamaru can stop whoever it is dead in their tracks why else do you think naruto and hinata are behind us?"
"that's not what I ment why isn't sasuke close to us?"
"he's guarding tazuna if you want to go back there and keep him company by all means go for it"
ino feeling giddy ran and latched on to sasuke, kuro feeling a pang of something he wasn't familiar with and wondered why it was only her who made him feel that way...
looking ahead he felt something that he'd been so used to... he started to lose focus when naruto and hinata came forward
"how's the look going kuro?" naruto asked with a bit of eagerness
"nothing...hinata!" he yelled
she understood "byakugan!" she yelled
"get down!" she commanded
everyone quickly got down as a huge sword came like a boomerang into a tree like it was a toy standing on it was none other then the demon of the mist, of course being how they are sasuke and kuro charged the man.
"fireball jutsu!" sasuke yelled
the man vanished only to be punched in the face and sent to the ground
the man got up dusting himself off
"pretty good but i came here for the bridge builder"
"you're in the bingo book aren't you?" kakashi asked
"that I am zabuza momochi" he said with bloodlust in his stare
"If you back off now I can guarantee your deaths won't be as painful" he said with malice
kuro released his ki which made zabuza stare at him with interest
"hm...you'd make an excellent addition for my cause of course your initiation would be to kill your comrades" he said with a dark chuckle
within the second after his laugh began he felt a sharp gash open in his chest
"I..won't betray my village and to be honest if you couldn't stop that than you won't last long when i'm serious" he stated with a demonic tone
naruto felt the ominous voice within his teammate and assumed it was something similar to the voice within his head as well
"he..must be like me" he thought as he used his best jutsu "kagebushin no jutsu!" he said as 20 clones charged zabuza they were quickly dispersed with his sword that he swung like a toy
but in the midst of the smoke kuro charged with azure fire sphere it struck but it dispersed into water realizing kakashi was fighting the real one and was caught in a water prison the kids had to come up with a plan.
"alright...shikamaru can you use your shadow possession to hold the clone in check while ino takes control of zabuza?"
"troublesome but I can but not for long" he said with a serious tone
"naruto sasuke and I will be a distraction"
naruto was pumped, sasuke being the way he is decided to speak up
" wouldn't it be easier just to take out the clone and free kakashi?"
"It would but if we damage him here he'll be in worse shape later on if we can take him out
it'd save us the trouble of doing so later" he stated
"hinata when I give the signal go for zabuza after ino's skill is released it should work and you should be able to cut off his chakra I'm doing this because I don't know if ino's mind control will work" he said in a leader type tone
he said firmly "so stay a few feet behind naruto just incase, also before we execute this.. check the area I feel uneasy about this seems too easy".
when she did she noticed another chakra signature "another signature in the trees to the right"
"will deal with it after kakashi-sensei comes first!"
no one complained about his idea naruto kuro and sasuke rushed and attacked the clone not wanting to destroy the clone but keep it busy kuro reduced his speed to keep the clone intact
by the time zabuza noticed it was too late shikamaru's shadow possession had attached to the clone and ino's mind possession jutsu had been sent out only to be stopped by zabuzas mind knowing this would happen kuro naruto and sasuke rushed forward naruto going for his legs he dogged but kuro quickly threw sasuke up and did an axe drop kick
dazed he didn't notice the hyuga heir come up to strike him in the stomach and rips making him lose concentration of his jutsu and kakashi was freed
before the fight could continue needles flew at zabuzas neck and an anbu nin came forth from the trees to collect zabuza
"thank you for stopping him we-"
"you don't fool me" kuro said with anger
"w-what?"
"I had hinata check to see if anyone was around with a simple look I was able to know someone was here just not who he stated "if you had been an anbu nin you would've assisted are attempt to stop him!"
"chidori" he yelled and went forth to attack the anbu nin before he could a wall of ice separated them he lunged the chidori into the ice before he hit he changed the element so it became a kaiten sa seru melting the ice but by then the two had left
kuro looked down in anger and a wave of chakra shrouded the black haired nin
"this kid...he's able to do that as well...who thought him these things?" kakashi thought
"DAMMIT!" he yelled in anger "That bastard! he got away!"
"kuro calm yourself you did great today" kakashi said in a authority type manner
"that bastard he knows where that..that man is is! if he is here this mission would be S class or higher"
everyone went wide eyed and sasuke felt the same feeling kuro had at this moment hatred just then "he and I aren't much different" he thought
kuro's chakra started to glow deep blue
"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
he fell unconscious where he remembered the things he wished he hadn't
"tazuna" kakashi said in an alerted tone "how far to your home? we need to hurry" "his chakra...demonic...it seems he is one as well" he thought while looking at naruto
"well we have to go by boat if we hurry about an hour or two give or take" tazuna said with worry "is he alright?"
"it's not really something that's known yet but if it was to be classified it'd be S class information even the whereabouts of this kid and his pasts as well as his enemy are A class"
"is he..really that different from the rest of us" shikamaru asked
"this kid is something else I don't even know where to begin will have him explain when he comes to until then we move out"
