I pout, sitting in a tree. My earpiece buzzes as someone shoves some leaves out of their face.
"This is Sakura. I'm at point A." Sakura's voice buzzes through the ear piece. I hear a breath escape from someones mouth.
"Sasuke here. I'm in position." Sasuke says. I can make out faint movement in front of me.
"Naruto here. Point C is secure." Naruto murmurs in a strangely deep voice for the squeaky vocalised Genin.
Kakashi sighs.
"Kanami. What about you?" He asks. I sigh and lift 2 fingers to my ear.
"This is Kanami. And I'm in a tree." I say. Honestly, I'd completely forgotten my position. Kakashi sighs again.
"You were supposed to-"
"Somethings moving!" Sakura whispers. We all peer from our spots and see a small creature rustling in the bushes.
"Get ready to move... Now!" Kakashi exclaims. We all leap from our spots and Naruto tackles the small brown cat.
"Can you identify a red ribbon on its left ear." Sasuke nods, giving a small grunt.
"Yeah. We have a positive ID." He replys. I walk over to Naruto and the cat, who are tumbling around. I snicker as Naruto yells, struggling to remove the cat from his face. I lean down and pick up the cat in my arms.
The cat lets out a low growl but then purrs as I gently stroke its fur.
Kakashi jumps down from an unknown location.
"Good. Mission 'Retreive Tora' is a success." He says, walking over to me and petting Tora, giving a closed eye smile.
"Been a while, huh Tora?" He says. We all peer at him, confused and he just chuckles and takes out his bright orange book. I sigh as we begin to walk home. I swear the cat gives me a sympathetic look.
Missions like this continue for the next few weeks. From pulling weeds in a chefs garden (Naruto removing all plant life in sight and getting hit over the head), to cleaning out a nearby river (Sasuke had to save Naruto from a bad fall over a waterfall). Untill one day...
"No way! I'm not doing anymore 'D-rank' missions. I want some adventure!" Naruto says. He pouts, sitting cross legged and turning away from the Hokage. I am tempted to hit him, but I don't. Cause its funny.
"You are only Genin! You will recieve 'D-rank' missions until you have built up experience to move up a rank!" Iruka-Sensei yells. I chuckle as Naruto ponders over what kind of ramen he'll eat today. The Hokage sighs.
"Naruto, the ranking of missions are based on their threat and skill required. 'A-rank's being for Jonin class or higher. 'C' and 'D-rank's being for Genin like yours- Are you even listening Naruto?" Sarutobi says, putting down the scroll he held in his hand. We all sigh and Naruto snickers from his position.
"Fine. We'll give you a higher ranking mission. Its a 'C-rank'."
