Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just this story

It's been a day since Naruto sent Pakkun to ask for assistance Naruto has spent most of his time outside, he's heard the little brat moan at Sasuke and Sakura about them wasting their lives and that there going to die. Naruto is lucky he's not in there or the kid would have been dead by now.

Naruto only enters to eat and sleep the rest of the time he stays outside watching for any trouble, Which is where we find him now sitting in a tree sharpening his Katana.

He hears his name and knows it's Sakura for the most part his teammates have left him alone unless it's urgent so it must be urgent this time if Sakura's bugging him.

She looks up "Naruto Kakashi-sensei wants to speak to you."

Naruto sighs and puts his Katana away and uses Shunshin and appears in front of her. He just walks past her and enters the house.

Inari looks up he's about to open his mouth but when he sees the glare from Naruto he shuts his mouth. Naruto walks past him and walks upstairs.

Tsunami sees Sakura follow Naruto inside and smiles "He doesn't talk much does he."

Sakura shakes her head "No not really, it's a shame I'd like to get to know him better." Sasuke just scoffs but continues cleaning his Kunai. Sakura just sits down and waits and wonders what Kakashi wanted with Naruto.

Naruto opens the door "What do you want Kakashi I'm guarding the house, and if I have to stay in this house I'll kill the Brat, because he never shuts up whining."

Kakashi smiles "Yes he is rather annoying, but no have you heard any word from Konoha yet."

Naruto shakes his head "No not yet why."

Kakashi sighs "Well as I'm still not fit enough to train you guys not that you need any training it leaves you to do it for me."

Naruto glares at Kakashi "You want me to train them, two idiots."

Kakashi sighs "You taught Sakura tree walking, Sasuke needs to continue with it and you can train Sakura on the Walking on Water exercise, just leave a clone with Sasuke."

Naruto grunts "Fine."

Kakashi smiles "Have your clones spotted anything."

Naruto shakes his head "Not yet but I have them henged into wild animals and objects if anyone comes near the house I'll know it."

Kakashi nods "Carry on then and have fun."

Naruto grunts "I'm going to torch your Icha Icha series for this."

Kakashi's eyes go wide almost popping out of their sockets "You wouldn't would you Naruto-kun, not to you dear big brother Kakashi Hatake."

Naruto scoffs and walks out the room and walks downstairs Sasuke and Sakura looks up and Naruto walks past them "Outside now."

He then leaves Sakura and Sasuke follows him out although there not sure why but they admit he's more experienced than them and is in command while Kakashi-sensei's recovering from what Kakashi-sensei told them although Sasuke didn't like it.

They see Naruto walking into the forest so they follow they see several clones also but there in different trees and the roof of the house both wonder what that's all about, but just follow Naruto to wherever he's going the fact he's ordering them around is unusual maybe Kakashi asked him to do something with them well that's what there both thinking.

They finally see Naruto with his back to them "I'll get straight to the point Kakashi-sensei has put me in charge of your training, that is until backup arrives, or he recovers enough, Sasuke you haven't mastered Tree Climbing, continue it now."

He then looks at Sakura "Sakura practice the same exercise for a short time then I will show you the next exercise know I do not want to do this and I will not put up with your bull shit Uchiha now get to it. I will have a clone remind you of what to do."

Sasuke just scoffs but he admits he did want to try this again he only had a short time trying it, and actually forgot about it until now.

Sakura actually smiles and gets straight on it just like last time she gets it done easily but she keeps trying to go higher until she reaches the top she gave up trying to get Sasuke's approval Naruto just nods and that makes her happy.

She wanted Naruto to teach her the next step and now he will although he's doing something he shouldn't be doing, with not being there official Sensei but she knows he's more experienced she doesn't understand why he's on a team with her and Sasuke-kun though

Sasuke after an hour has made progress but nowhere near as Sakura and that infuriates him an elite like him failing whilst a Clan less fangirl masters it straight away.

After the hour is up Naruto has finished cleaning his sword "Sakura come here."

She quickly rushes down the tree well as carefully as possible without falling as she's at the very top, After a few minutes, she's down and approaches Naruto "What's next Naruto-Sen.."

Naruto glares at her "I am not you Sensei so don't finish that sentence, now follow me." He looks up the tree "I will leave two clones here and I will know if your lying about finishing."

Naruto and Sakura walk off they only walk a short while until they get to a river Naruto points to the water "The next step is walking on water it's similar to the previous exercise but and I will say this only once the user meaning you Sakura has to be emitting a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of their feet and using the repellent force to walk across the water's surface."

He looks at her and she's listening so he continues "This technique is more difficult to master than the Tree Climbing Practice because the amount of chakra that needs to be emitted changes constantly as unlike a tree, water is always moving. Do you understand Sakura."

She nods and he points "Get to it this might sound inappropriate but you are bound to get wet if you want to get your swimsuit then do so it will be harder to concentrate if your clothes feel heavy on your body."

Sakura blushes "I'll be OK, Naruto-kun."

Naruto raises an eyebrow at the suffix but ignores it "Very well start."

Naruto watches as Sakura tries and even her with excellent Chakra Control falls in. Naruto does not help her he just stands there with his arms crossed whilst Sakura practices. She sighs 'Wow, this is harder than the other one that was easy, OK what did Naruto say, oh a constant stream of Chakra from the bottom of feet I can do this.'

She looks to the shore and sees Naruto watching her and then a clone walks up to him and whispers into his ear, with Naruto then sending the clone off creating more clones "Keep practising I'll leave several clones with you."

He then runs off pulling out his Katana she almost stops but the clone watching shouts "Stay focused on the task at hand concentrate, like tree climbing this exercise is useful and will help in the future."

The Real Naruto has already sent a clone off to inform Kakashi of the Mercenaries heading this way, 'Foolish idiots does that fat little midget think puny Mercenaries can do anything he's just wasting his men.' not that it bothers Naruto.

The Mercenaries are all talking about there easy mission, kill a bunch of weak kids, not actually believing Zabuza and Haku about the blond boy's skills, or the Uchiha's, to the Mercenaries there just kids and there about to realize how wrong they are.

They come out onto a clearing and one of them looks up and sees one Blonde Haired Kid standing right in the centre holding a Katana.

The Mercenaries all chuckle one of them the leader of this little ragtag group of Mercenaries speaks up "Does the whittle Blond Kid want to play with the big boys."

Naruto just laughs "You, the big boys in what universe, your weak pathetic lowlifes who are about to realize that you stepped in the path of the Crimson Nightmare, and your all dead you just don't know it yet."

Some of the Mercenaries know the Name and look at each other having second thoughts about this mission, but before they can do anything Naruto vanishes and appears among them he unsheathed his Katana and starts slashing any Mercenary he comes in contact with.

The leader looks around after only seconds and sees at least 10 of his Mercenaries on the ground bleeding from their wounds or already dead.

Naruto swings his Katana "Fūton: Kaza No Yaiba (Blade Of Wind)" Blades of wind cut through the Mercenaries any who try and block with their swords see the Wind cut through their swords before striking them. Naruto goes through some more handsigns "Fūton: Daitoppa: (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)."

With this Jutsu, the Mercenaries get blown all over the place most getting cut up by the Jutsu the leader watches all this in shock he brought over 50 men and after two Jutsu's and a few swings of the kid's Katana he's the last one remaining.

Naruto turns to him "You can go but if I see you again I won't be so generous." The Mercenary leader gulps before running away. Naruto sighs "Weaklings."

He Shunshin's away not knowing Haku was there and yet again he's shocked well not much but it should have taken a little longer but this Blond boy took them out quick and easy he sighs "Zabuza-sama will not be pleased."

Meanwhile, Anko's running fast she should get there quick she sees the river and just scoffs before sprinting across it eating some Dango grinning as she rushes past a man in the boat who looks gobsmacked when she runs past him rubbing his eyes several times to make sure he's not seeing things and he isn't.

Anko gets across the water and rests for a minute to have a drink, then she sets off again after she's running again she comes into a clearing and sees several men dead and grins "Ah, Naruto-kun did you do this for me thanks for the fun Mercenaries aye oh looks some are alive let's see what they were doing before Naruto had some fun with them."

She pulls one of them up "Alright Talk, what were you doing here."

The Mercenary looks at Anko "We were sent to kill some kids but we met the devil."

Anko grins "The Devil, really, well we wouldn't want one of the damned souls to live now but I think I'll allow you to go as a warning Anko Mitarashi The Snake Mistress is here to fuck up Gatō's plans, give his that message would you well off you go I'll entertain your friends whilst you're relaying the message."

The man staggers away and Anko grins and does some handsigns "Sen'ei Jashu (Hidden Shadow Snake Hands)"

The man who staggers away hears screaming as the rest of his squad are killed by Anko he's heard about her she's a Psycho.

Anko grins well time for a bonfire I think she piles all the bodies next to each other before doing some handsigns "Katon: Gōkakyū No Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.)" Within moments there's nothing but ashes and she grins before rushing off with a smile on her face eating a stick of Dango.

Meanwhile, back with Naruto he's watching Sakura again she notices his return and saw some blood on his clothing but it wasn't his but she wonders what happened "OK I've got this I can do this concentrate Sakura."

Naruto's watching Sakura one of his clones watching Sasuke dispels he's still having problems seems he's not as Elite as he thinks he is Naruto smirks at that another of his clones informed Kakashi of what happened.

Kakashi was shocked that Gatō would try something like this but told the clone to continue what he's doing he asked how Sakura and Sasuke were doing and the clone told him.

He's still watching Sakura when he senses a Chakra Signature and smirks when Anko lunges and he uses a Kawarimi No Jutsu (Body Replacement/Substitution Technique) to replace himself with a rabbit.

Anko looks at the Rabbit and smiles "Hey little guy, you don't look like Naruto-kun."

Naruto appears behind her "Talking to animals is a sign of madness you know Anko-chan, but as your already insane I'm sure it's perfectly OK."

Anko grins and strokes the rabbit "He's cute I'll call him Little Naruto-kun."

Naruto raises an eyebrow "So what did Jiji have to say."

Anko puts down the rabbit which runs away and she smiles "The Great and Sexy and might I add SINGLE Anko Mitarashi is here to assist you."

Naruto nods "I see."

Anko pouts and then when Naruto turns around to watch Sakura she wraps her arms around him "Did you miss me, Naruto-kun."

Naruto smirks "Did I miss Anko Mitarashi, the name doesn't ring a bell is she a Kunoichi I've heard of."

Anko pouts "You're no fun, so pinky's doing that how longs she been at it."

Naruto answers her "About an hour and a half she has great Chakra Control can't say the same about the other loser on my team."

Anko grins "How far has he made it up."

Naruto shrugs "Just under half way up not much of an elite aye."

Anko chuckles "So how come you're training them not under the kindness of your own heart I take it."

Naruto smirks "Hardly, Kakashi asked me to as he's unable to at the moment, but I think I'll might burn his collection of Icha Icha for making me do this though."

Anko grins "Oh he wouldn't like that now would he, did his eyes almost bulge out of his sockets when you told him."

Naruto nods "Exactly that."

Anko just chuckles "Loved your welcoming to the Land Of Waves present Naruto-kun, I enjoyed it."

Sakura's watching this interaction and is strangely enough jealous of the carefree way she's all over her teammate not that she has feelings for Naruto or anything well she doesn't think so it's just wrong the women's older than him and is obviously flirting with him.

Naruto then looks at her "OK Sakura, you can stop now you've pretty much mastered it why don't you go and inform Sasuke what he's doing wrong that's if he'll listen to you, then get some rest I'm impressed."

Sakura smiles "Thanks, Naruto." She slowly walks out of the water before running away but not before glaring at Anko who smirks "I think the little pinky girl is jealous of me. I'm glad you asked for me with Kurenai and Yūgao out on missions I was bored."

Naruto smirks "Anko Mitarashi bored what nonsense are you talking, when are you ever bored don't you have people to torture or scare little children."

She chuckles "So what do you think that fat little Midget will do, did you let anyone live to inform him, I let one go and told him I'm here to fuck up his plans."

Naruto nods "Oh I'm sure he'll enjoy hearing that."

She nods "I'm hungry let's go eat."

Naruto sighs "There's this annoying whining little shit called Inari, his stepfather died apparently and now he's become a pathetic little wuss, who does nothing but acts like a crying baby."

Anko rolls her eyes "Great that's all I need."

Naruto nods "It's why I only spend time in there to eat and sleep."

Anko nods "Speaking of sleep where will I sleep I'm not staying with Pinky, or Kakashi, can I stay with you, pretty please."

Naruto sighs "That's not very practical now is it."

Anko shrugs "Probably not but we can talk and make Pinky even more jealous."

Naruto raises an eyebrow "Jealous of what exactly."
