Naruto belongs to Kishimoto
Teen Titans belong to others
Raven was content with Konoha, but once she heard Naruto was taking a C rank mission. It was something she was not sure whether to be proud over, seeing the young blonde grow or afraid that it would be the last she sees of him.
She left for the Hokage's office and looked to him with a calm, that she always seems to have, "Sarutobi-san, why is Naruto leaving? Where is he going?" Her eyes narrowing ever so slightly, but the third sighed softly, hearing what could be the worry from someone like a mother or sister would. Raven watched the hokage carefully as the older man seemed to mull over the feelings and words that were passed around, considering what would pacify the dark haired girl.
Elsewhere Cyborg was rather proud of Naruto, seeing the blonde boy practice almost as religiously as Raven did with meditation. The boy was able to stay in meditation calmly for at least thirty minutes and longest being an hour. Cyborg was working in the weapons shop more often than before naruto was in the academy.
Cyborg was proud of Naruto, even though he always says he is anyhow, and that Raven is more reserved with her praises and shares them sparingly, but Naruto enjoyed each praise given often or rare.
"Fine... Meet up with Kakashi Hatake and you may observe their mission to know he is safe." Sarutobi, the third hokage spoke finally and looked to calm down when Raven gave a hint of calm herself. "But, you may not assist them, they must be able to do these assignments on their own." He adds before Raven vanishes in darkness leaving the room empty except for the third hokage.
Raven watched Naruto pack up, gathering extra pairs of jumpsuits, rolls of bandages, kunai or shuriken, along with other things. "I guess your following him, huh, Rae?" Cyborg asks calmly, watching her briefly and too used to her calm shrug that does not answer any of it, but she turns to Cyborg with a small smile. The only, and one thing that tells her answer.
The night falls, and the next morning comes quickly to where Raven and Naruto arrive with their small pack of items with them as they wait to escort the bridge builder. "Who is dat dark girl? The Uchiha's sister?" The bridge builder, Tazuna, asks lazily and Raven only briefly glances at the older man before focusing on the town, searching for the others.
Once everyone arrived, Kakashi Hatake arriving a little later announces, "This is Raven." Gesturing to her for Tazuna, before continuing for the others, "She will be accompanying us on this mission as an observer." At the end, the genin were shocked, but only naruto yelled out "What?!" In to the gate entry way.
"I just want to see the world outside Konoha a bit, like you three are." Raven defends with a steady monotone, glancing at each person carefully with her purple eyes. Tazuna stiffened at her intense purple gaze, but did not argue the point, while the genin started to get their things and head off on the road themselves.
As the motley crew headed to land of Waves; raven quietly walked with a scroll out for her to read the history of Waves country because taking ninjutsu related information was dangerous, while kakashi read his own book and only peeked at Raven on small occasions to check on her, while the genin occupied themselves.
As they walked on Raven could hear some strangers speaking of attacking soon, attacking the strongest ones then going for a kill. She looked around calmly as she easily put away the scroll, watching for the enemy that she heard.
To see two men in grey and black appear, with chains in their hands. They threw the chains around Kakashi swiftlu, capturing him and making the genin stop in shock as they see what was going on, then pulling on their chains more. Raven could only see Kakashi seemed to have died, but her mind read he had a plan that involved it.
Sakura stood protectively infront of Tazuna, while Sasuke and Naruto faced off against the two enemy shinobi. Raven watched in shock, but thought 'This is outside mission perimeters.' Before speaking aloud, "Azarath metrion zinthos." Extending her hands to drag two trees of opposite sides towards the enemy shinobi, startling Tazuna and the enemy nin.
The enemy nin turned to Raven and started after her, believing Kakashi strongest and her second strongest by how their after her next. She stared at them in a bored way, before using her dark magic to throw another large mass at them, even with the two enemies dodging the attacks, they were surprised she was strong enough to pull trees that could be sixty feet in height or more.
They were approaching her fast, only for Kakashi to appear and catch them before Raven could be harmed. Turning his head to Raven and said, "Your task of just observing seems to be nullified as of nows events." A hint of amusement present in his tone, but also anger towards something else, hidden Raven could tell.
"Kakashi-sensei?!" The genin cried, but the bridge builder was still shocked by what he saw from Raven, and those were just words she spoke. Raven looked over the two enemy nin carefully, Raven approached them and crossed her legs as she tried to invade the two unconscious strangers thoughts to find the cause.
She was not expecting much, minds were floating space pockets that are separate from the mind, but also part of it. What she saw in their minds was seemingly a small bit of their personality, from how their outer wear was harsh, but internally they had softness all around.
Exiting the mind, Tazuna was still shocked at the skills Raven possessed, even Kakashi was surprised by the abilities she has yet to reveal to the third hokage of their village.
But they were not able to really confront Raven's secrets when there were other secrets to pry at.
I see Raven being really protective of those she cares about, so she chooses to accompany Naruto for her sake.
