(I'm not gonna include most missions Team 7 did in the actual anime since I'm too lazy to write the entire thing. But the ones I'm gonna write are made up and they're more insteresting. Bye! :3)

Many missions later...

*knock* *knock*

"Naruto-kun, someone's at the door." Hashirama whispered into Naruto's ear.

A sleeping Naruto woke up, "Hmmmm? Who is it?" Naruto went up to the door and opened it to find 2 ANBU members, one in a tiger mask and one in a bear mask."

"Naruto Uzumaki...the Hokage wishes to see you, it's urgent." Once those words were said, the 2 ANBU members both vanished.

"Could be a new mission..." Hashirama spoke

Once Naruto was changed in his usual outfit, together with Hashirama, they both rushed to the Hokage's office to also find Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi.

"Naruto-kun...you're here." Hiruzen said quietly.

"You guys are also here? I thought it was only me y'know!"

"Lord Hokage all gave us the message...we have a new S-rank mission."

"Finally a S-rank mission!" Naruto walked up to the Hokage's desk.

"Sup, Madara." Hashirama walked up to Madara who was beside Sasuke.

"As I was saying, Team 7 will have a S-rank mission."

"Itachi Uchiha was spotted in the forest. Your mission is to find him, and assassinate him."

Those words filled the room with utter silence.

Flashback

"Itachi Uchiha...now that you've massacred your entire clan, what else would you like me to do besides taking care of Sasuke?"

"I want you to have my little brother kill me in the future once he's strong enough."

Hiruzen lifted an eyebrow, "Are you sure about that?"

"Even though what I have done was for the greater good of the clan and village, I still feel as if I need to be judged for my actions as a rogue ninja. And I feel that Sasuke is the best person to deliver my punishment."

"Seems so...I'll do my best. Is that all."

Itachi slowly nodded. "Yes, Lord Hokage."

End of flashback

Sasuke clenched his fists super tight that everyone could here his bones crunching.

"Sasuke-kun...are you alright?" Hiruzen questioned.

"I'm fine. This is just the mission I needed all this time. Just you wait, Itachi..." Sasuke's Sharingan awakened as he glared at Hiruzen.

"This is gonna end bad." Madara whispered to Hashirama.

"*clears throat* Anyway, Lord Hokage, why did you give this mission to us? This is clearly a dangerous mission that needs to be handled by the ANBU at least."

"Unfortunately...all the ANBU are all on other important missions. If they fail, it could cause a world war." Hiruzen deadpanned. He was filled with guilt since he purposely dispatched all the ANBU on random missions to fulfill Itachi's wish of being by Sasuke alone.

"I see...well is there other necessary information?"

"Itachi seems to be with the tailess tailed beast. As you all know, he is a Kirigakure shinobi with massive reserves of chakra which are comparable to a tailed beast."

"Well, that's gonna be tough..." Kakashi said as he put his fist to his chin in a htinking position.

"I'm sorry for the sudden request. But still, if the mission is too much for Team 7 to handle, you can come back to the village and ask for extra reinforcements if any are done with their missions."

"Don't worry Old Man! If my teamates are in danger, I'll save them y'know!"

Hiruzen smiled, "I hope so."

While walking out of the Hokage's office, Hashirama quietly asked Naruto, "Naruto-kun, are you sure that you're up to this?"

"Don't worry Hashirama-sensei, if worse comes to worst, me, the future Hokage will come in saving the day y'know!" Naruto whispered back.

Hashirama looked at Naruto from behind, still worried, Them dying is not even the limit of my worries. If Sasuke actually dies in this mission, Naruto-kun will end up awakening the Kyuubi's power, completing losing himself.

Author's Note:

Phew! That was a short chapter, but I'll be working on a bonus chapter soon!

Hashirama and Madara: we were barely in this chapter!

Kanari: shut it. Anyways, the bonus chapter will include Hashirama's and Madara's little brothers.

Madara: yay Izuna will be in the story! And I will finally get to see that annoying brother of yours, Hashirama.

Hashirama: *sweatdrops*

Kanari: thank you all for being very patient with my story even though its trash. Keep reviewing on my story and I'll see on how I can improve it. Bye! :3
