Chapter 3: First C Rank Mission

After Bell Test: 1 P.M.

As soon as Naruto had finished the bell test he went to Ichiraku and had some ramen before he headed back home. When he made it back home he instantly went to his room and sat down on his bed. He removed his equipment leaving him in his orange jumpsuit and got into a meditative position. After about an hour, he woke up in a sewer area.

"Where the hell am I?" Naruto asked out loud. He appeared to be in Konoha's sewers (he had spent some time there before) but it seemed to stretch infinitely. The main thing he noticed as a large red cell door with red bars and a seal in the middle. 'Looks like one from the Uzumaki sealing scroll.' Naruto thought.

"So, my jailer has finally come to visit me?" said a voice from the red cell.

"Wh-ho a-re you?" Naruto managed to studder out, shocked at the deep and powerful voice talking to him.

"I am the Kyubbi! The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox! Conqueror of lands and destroyer of lives!" The mighty Kyubbi roared at his jailer. He thought Naruto would cower in fear, possibly even scream and beg for mercy. It had the opposite effect on Naruto as he deadpanned and asked, "Eh, what's that all mean?"

"..."

"You are a real idiot, you know that?"

"You stupid fox! Your the reason everyone hates me, ya know?" Naruto said, anger evident in his voice.

"Kit, I am not the reason everyone hates you. They are too idiotic to tell the difference between us it isn't even funny. Honestly, I have actually taken better care of you then any of these other humans." Kyubbi said. It disgusted him to say that, but if he wanted the kid to let him out every once in awhile he needed to get on his good side.

"What do you mean you have cared for me? What are you trying to do?" Naruto asked with a confused expression.

"Remember all those times the villagers would beat and torture you? Do you think it was the hospital that healed you? No, it was me. I have been keeping you alive since day 1. As to why I have done it? If you are in pain, I feel pain. If you die, I die. So my best bet is to keep you alive and give you some of my power." Kyubbi responded.

"So you have been the one healing me?" The Kyubbi nodded. "That is weird how this link works, anyway I have some questions. Do you know how I know these jutsus I did earlier today? I don't know how I learned them and I am hoping for answers." Naruto said.

"Ah, the million ryo question. For how you know the jutsus it was from Mizuki."

"But, how?" Naruto asked, getting more confused.

"Let me put it simple: when you used that jutsu on Mizuki you absorbed his taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu abilities. Also his memories on all the fights he has had and other things to do with fighting. I would say you are now a chunin rank with these current abilities. It takes about one night to absorb the information for each person." Kyubbi said shocking Naruto with his explanation.

"I have a cool ability like that... THAT IS SO COOOL!" Naruto shouted.

"It is kit but you have to be careful with this jutsu. Absorbing so many people could be bad for your mental state. I would say you could absorb, at most, 10 people's fighting mindsets. You will learn all the jutsus they know and anything to do with fighting. I am not for sure if this would work for bloodlines or not but it is a possibility."

"Okay. So possibility of not absorbing everything and I can only absorb 10 people. Well thanks Kyubbi for the help. Wait, what is your name?" Naruto asked curiously.

"What makes you think I have a name?"

"Every living thing has a name. It doesn't matter if it is human or a demon." Naruto responded.

"Hehehe... Well kit it is time for you to go. As for my name, I will tell you when you become a stronger vessel. I can't have my vessel a weak being." Kyubbi said.

"Okay. Goodbye furball!" And with that Naruto returned to the real world only to see that it was 10 at night. 'Better get to sleep, we have training tomorrow.' Naruto thought as he drifted off to sleep.

3 Weeks Later

Location: Somewhere outside of Konoha

"Are you guys in position?" Someone asked through a wireless communication device.

"Of course you baka!" Someone else screamed through another communicator.

"Let's go dobe." The third person said.

"Three, two, one... Go now!" With that three people jumped from the forest and grabbed their target. Their target fought back by... hissing and clawing at them?

"Haha, got it." A blonde said. He was holding a cat in his hands that was hissing at him when Kakashi jumped from the bushes. "Well it seems like a mission complete." Kakashi said. "Let's get back to the Hokage."

With the Hokage

"Ah, I see you guys have completed the D Rank: Capture Tora." The aged Hokage said.

"Yeah we did jiji but when can we get a real mission with bandits and stuff?" Naruto asked.

"I never thought I would agree with the dobe, but he is right. We need a better mission to test our abilities." Sasuke said.

"Well I guess you guys are ready.. Alright, send in the client!" The Sandaime yelled. After he said this a old man that was carrying a sake bottle came waltzing into the mission area.

"So these are the people who will protect me: a scarecrow, an emo teen, a pink haired freak, and an orange wearing, overexcited brat. This is great." He mumbled out.

"Ninja are more then what they appear." Naruto said as he disappeared and re-appeared behind the client.

"Wow! That brat is fast!" The client yelled.

"What is your name?" Kakashi asked the client. "My name is Tazuna: The awesome bridge builder you have to protect!" Tazuna said as he walked-stumbled, towards the others.

Kakashi then said, "Alright guys. We will be meeting at the main gate in 1 hour. Bring your necessities and anything else that is worth it. We don't need you being weighed down." With that the team went to go assemble the necessary equipment for the mission.

1 Hour Later: Konoha Main Gate

"Alright guys, let's head out." Kakashi stated as they started moving.

"Hey Naruto. Where is your pack at?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah dobe. Did you forget it?" Sasuke sneered.

"No. I just sealed it so I wouldn't have to carry it around. It would get in the way." Naruto state matter-of-factly.

'How does a dobe like him know stuff I don't? I have to figure out what is giving him this knew power.' Sasuke thought.

After awhile of walking the five people came across a puddle. Only three of them were able to put the pieces together when suddenly 2 figures jumped from the treeline and wrapped chains around him, and then pulled. Kakashi was dismembered before any of the genin could respond.

"Sensei!" Sakura screamed out.

Instead of screaming, Sasuke and Naruto leapt into action. Sasuke took on the left one while Naruto went after the right. Sasuke easily sidestepped the chain that was thrown at him and managed to pull out a kunai and attack the attacker. He attempted a stab but was blocked by the chain coming back. But before the chain wielder could counter he kicked him in the face, succesffully knocking him unconscious.

Naruto attacked his opponent and started with a taijutsu fight. It was hard for him to attack with the chain so he attempted a jutsu. "Earth Style: Earth Spear." Naruto yelled as he sent an earth spear at his opponent, successfully pinning him against the tree. Before his opponent could react, Naruto hit him with the but of his kunai he pulled out.

"Well done my students. Good taijutsu Sasuke, excellent resourcefulness Naruto, and good job at protecting the client Sakura." Kakashi said as he stepped out of the forest. "Good job everyone but I believe I need to talk with our client. Those two were the Demon Brothers, chunin rank in the bingo book."

After he said this, Kakashi took the client away to question him while Sakura started fawning over Sasuke beating a chunin. 'I beat one of them too.' Naruto thought as sat there waiting for Kakashi to be interrogating the client.

"Well... this mission has turned from a C Rank to an A Rank. We need to turn back and get better qualified ninjas for this." Kakashi said as he came from the forest with Tazuna.

"What?! We can't turn back around! This is our chance to prove ourselves!" Naruto yelled.

"The dobe is right. We need to finish this mission." Sasuke stated. "If Sasuke-kun is taking it then I will go along with it." Sakura said unsure of herself.

"It's okay if you guys don't want to continue on the mission. I will probably only be killed on the way home then what will my daughter and grandson say? He would probably just cry then try to get revenge on Gato. But, hey! It's no problem!" Tazuna said while everyone else deadpanned at what he said.

"Fine... We will continue this mission!" Kakashi said as he and his team started off towards Wave country.

Later along the way

"Everyone, DUCK!" Naruto shouted as he pulled the client down and the others ducked to the ground just as a giant sword flew past their heads and landed in a tree. Then, just as suddenly as the sword appeared, a man appeared on the sword.

"That's a nice genin you have their, Kakashi Hatake, copy ninja. Too bad he has to die for getting in my way." The mysterious man said.

"And you are Zabuza Momochi, Demon of the Mist, one of the Seven Swordsman." Kakashi replied as he stood back up and stared at Zabuza.

"Enough chat! Time for you guys to die!" Just as Zabuza said this, a heavy fog rolled in.

"Don't worry guys. As long as I am alive, I won't let anything happen to my students." After he said that he pulled up his forehead protector to reveal a matured sharingan eye.

'He has the sharingan?!' Sasuke thought. Naruto's thoughts were along the same line as the Kyubbi explained the sharingan to him.

Suddenly, a huge wave of killer intent hit them and they heard Zabuza's voice, "8 points: Larynx, spine, lungs, liver, jugular, subclavian artery, kidneys, and heart. Which will be my attack point?" Zabuza asked as he let out a dark chuckle. Just then he landed in the middle of the formation the genin had formed around Tazuna. As he was about to swing he was intercepted by Kakashi and forced out of the formation. As the two jounin-level ninjas battled the killing intent let off by them was overwhelming.

(The rest is canon fight up until Kakashi gets put in the Water Bubble)

"Come on Sasuke! We have to save Kakashi!" Naruto yelled at his teammate as he charged Zabuza. Zabuza chuckled at this, "Do you really think you can beat me?" As he said this he made 20 water clones to go intercept the boy.

"We will have to test that out." Naruto said with a smirk as he summoned two windmill shurikens from his arm seals and sent them hurling with deadly accuracy at the clones successfully destroy 8 of them. 'Only 12 left he thought.' "Sasuke, some help would be appreciated!" He yelled as he still saw his teammate cowering.

'How am I supposed to fight on this level... this is so nerve wracking... but if I don't I will never get to 'his' level.' Sasuke thought as a image of Itachi went through his mind. "I have to fight!" He yelled as he went out to help Naruto.

The two collaborated well together and managed to destroy all but 3 clones. Suddenly, Naruto threw another windmill shuriken towards the real Zabuza who jumped over it but then realized Naruto had a wire attached to it. Naruto pulled back and Zabuza had no choice but to release the water bubble that he had Kakashi in.

"Don't worry guys. I will take it from here." Kakashi stated as he got back to his fight with Zabuza.

(Rest is canon.)

Suddenly, Zabuza was struck by some senbon hitting him in the neck. A hunter ninja then appeared next to the body.

"Thank you for weakening him for me." The hunter ninja said. "But I will take it from here." With that the boy left while taking Zabuza with him.

"Alright guys. Zabuza appears to be dead so let's get to Tazuna's house and rest up." Just as he was about to walk he fell to the ground and passed out.

"I will carry him. You two stay near Tazuna and guard him." Naruto said as he took over as leader and picked up his sensei. "So Tazuna, which way is your house.."

Later at Tazuna's House.

"There! He seems to be just low on energy. It will take about a week to heal." Tsuname, Tazuna's daughter, stated to the group.

"Okay guys. I am going to get rest then tomorrow we will start more training." Kakashi said.

"Awesome!" Naruto shouted.

"I want you guys to eat some food and then get to bed." Kakashi stated before he laid back down and went to sleep.

Later that night.

"Kyubbi, this doesn't feel right. Shouldn't hunter nin take care of the bodies on the spot so no secrets are left?" Naruto asked Kyubbi in his mindscape. It had become easier to contact the Kyubbi over the past weeks with their constant communication. Kyubbi would give Naruto some hints on his training and their relationship wasn't as bad as it was before.

"I know kit. If I am correct, I would say Zabuza is still alive and kickin'." Kyubbi replied.

"Yeah... I'm going to look more into the seals in the Uzumaki seal book. See you later furball!" Naruto said as he left his mindscape. Once he was back in the real world, he summoned his book from his seals and started off on his current page when he took a brief glance at the next chapter. "Gravity seals, huh?"

A/N: Gravity seals have been introduced. He won't be starting off high on them so he won't become super strong super fast. It will take him awhile to figure out the seals to these since they literally change the gravity a person feels. Anyway... hope you enjoyed the read and review if you have suggestions for me. Thanks!
