A/N: Dzero009 here with another chapter of Son of the Kyuubi. It's time for the Demon Bros to make their meager appearance... yay…
On a related note, Mr. Host pwns!!
I don't own Naruto!
As the team 7 plus Hinata made their way to wave, Itachi couldn't help but notice the change in demeanor of his team since Hinata joined. Naruto and Sasuke became more talkative and one or more occasion, Naruto and Hinata would flirt with each other, but Sakura…She was glaring at Hinata with such intensity it could melt the polar ice caps in 3-4 seconds…while looking away.
Itachi shook his head. He looked at the client between Naruto and Sasuke to see him more sober since they started their journey, this is the best thing that has happened one this mission action-wise.
"And then I mastered it! That jutsu could wipe out a forest!" Naruto bragged.
Sasuke smirked while putting his hands in his pockets. "Heh, my jutsu could incinerate a forest, there probably wouldn't be any ashes left."
Naruto laughed, Hinata giggled, while Sakura was star-struck. 'Cha! Sasuke-kun knows a super cool jutsu! Take that Naruto-baka and White-Eyed witch!
Naruto looked over to Sasuke. "True, but the combined jutsu's could destroy a hidden village if we wanted to commit suicide by using up all our chakra."
Hinata went wide eyed, and she could've sworn Sakura and Tazuna did the same, Itachi remained impassive.
…later...
As Team seven was on their way to wave, Naruto noticed something off…A puddle? He thought It hasn't rained in weeks…unless… He looked over to Sasuke and Hinata to see that they both noticed the puddles by their body language, Naruto walked up to Itachi and made hand signs. Two enemy Nins, use Lightning Blade.
Itachi nodded and stopped. "Ok, kids, this looks to be a good spot to show you all an A-ranked assassination jutsu called Lightning Blade. It's a jutsu my ANBU buddy, Kakashi uses, he taught it to me after I moved in with Yokoumaru and Naruto."
Itachi walked between the puddles and prepared the seals. "Now watch closely, and no using the sharingan to copy it, Sasuke." Sasuke sighed, but nodded. Itachi placed his right hand towards the ground, the girls and Tazuna looked amazed as lightning crackled to life in his hand, they noticed a current of lightning flow away from him to the puddles, Sakura and Tazuna were stunned when two ninjas emerged from the puddles and were shaking violently as lightning coursed through them, in a few moments they dropped, Itachi smirked. "That was lightning manipulation I used to kill the two." Itachi said matter-of-factly.
He signaled Naruto and Sasuke to identify the bodies. "It's Meizu and Gozu, two missing Nins from Kirigakure no Sato." Sasuke said.
Hinata dug into her backpack until she pulled out a small blue book, Sakura noticed this as the bingo book, Hinata began to read. "They are C-ranked missing nins, their bounty is 3,000 ryo each, they are Chunin ranked and attack in a pair, they are also known as the 'Demon Brothers'" Naruto gave a thumbs up to Hinata as she blushed a bit, Sakura growled.
Itachi nodded to the Hyuga. "Ok, all of you watch what I'm going do, Tazuna you can turn away." The genin watched as Itachi beheaded the two nukenins and sealed them into a scroll, the genin had mix reactions. Sakura threw up her lunch, Hinata shivered a bit, Sasuke and Naruto looked indifferent, they had killed before (Not humans of course).
Itachi stood up and glared at Tazuna (who turned back around) and activated his copy-wheel-eye. "Tazuna-san, I believe you have some explaining to do." He said, he took a step—to only see Tazuna back away, the genin (minus Sakura) noticed a small smirk on Itachi's face, he took another step forward as Tazuna took two steps back. "Not only were they ninja…" He started as he took another step forward. "But they were missing nin as well—chunin to be exact. If you have ninja after you, then this mission is easily A-ranked or high B-rank, far out of most genin's reach…" Itachi closed his eyes and Tazuna sighed in relief as they went back to normal. "But not my genin…nor Hina-chan." They all smiled except Sakura, Itachi looked at the elderly architect. "But you do have some explaining to do."
Tazuna sighed. "All right, I'll tell you everything…"

Yokoumaru went through his normal shortcut to the Hokage's office: Leave home, lock the door, rooftop jump to the tower and break the window, pissing the old man off. Yokoumaru was called to the Hokage tower for an A-rank mission, its simple; Wipe out the missing nin that are holding up a nearby town. Simple, right? Wrong. Rumors have it that Fugaku Uchiha was involved somehow, Yokoumaru was ecstatic when he heard that. He'd finally be able to find out were Madara is hiding.
Kurenai Yuhi was waiting for their third teammate to arrive, she was on an A-rank mission with Kakashi (He was told he was four hours late so he came via body flicker) and Konoha's Demon Fox and the Leaf Kunoichi Women's Association 'must have' single father of three (Itachi and Sasuke), Yokoumaru Uzumaki. When Kurenai found out she was on a mission with him she squealed like a certain pink-haired fangirl. She had a HUGE crush on Yokoumaru since he became known through the shinobi population and not just for his good-looks oh no, it's much more…
She looked up at the open window expecting him to arrive, Sarutobi cleared his throat. "Ok, since Yoko-san has yet to arrive we'll—" Before he could finish, his other window (which was closed) shattered into a billion pieces as a certain red-haired demon-fox appeared through the window, Kurenai had to fight back a blush.
Yokoumaru grinned a foxy gin, "Ladies and Gentlemen! Konoha's Demon Fox has arrived!" He said in an 'MC' kind of voice. Kakashi clapped, and Kurenai looked away with a smirk. Yokoumaru situated himself in front of the Hokage's desk. "So old man? Like my appearance? This'll put Guy's Dynamic Entry to shame, won't it?" He said with a confidant grin.
"YOKOUMARU! HOW MANY TIMES DID I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STOP CRASHING THROUGH THE WINDOW!!1!" Sarutobi yelled.
Yokoumaru cleaned his left ear. "I dunno, 65,399 times maybe?" He said.
"Um… It's 65,402. You forgot last years Kyuubi festival, remember? You remember when those kids were playing 'Whack-A-Fox'?" Yokoumaru 'oh'ed.
Sarutobi sighed. "Damn…demon lords and their antics…" He muttered. He looked u at the jonins. "Your mission is to wipe out the missing nin stationed in Asano Town, it'll be a 2-4 week mission considering it's a long way from Konoha."
The jonins nodded. The third nodded. "Ok, get packed, Yokoumaru is team leader."
And the jonins left the office.

"That's enough training for the day, y'all dismissed." Said Asuma Sarutobi, as he left the training grounds leaving his team behind.
Ino turned to her team. "Hey, I'm going to go home, see you tomorrow." Shikamaru nodded while Choji continued to eat his chips, Ino sighed and left.
As Ino walked down the road to her home, she sighed again. Why did that bitch Sakura get to be on Naruto-kun's team? This system has something against true love… that has to be it…Alright! When he gets back from his mission, I'll be sure to treat him to dinner!
Ino smiled to no one in particular and ran off.

As they continued their journey to Wave, Naruto threw a kunai in a bush. "Naruto you baka! What was that for?" Sakura shouted to him, Naruto ignored her and watched a white rabbit came scurrying out the bush. Naruto sighed. "Just a rabbit…" Naruto said.
Hinata sensed something off. "That rabbit was white, that kind of rabbit is only white in the winter."
Sasuke turned to her. "Which means…?"
"Get down!!" Itachi shouted as everyone went down, barely dodging the zambato that was aiming for their heads. A man appeared on the zambato's handle, he smirked. "Heh, I expected nothing less from the 'Copy Wheel Weasel' Itachi."
Itachi turned to him. "Zabuza Momochi…Demon of the Hidden Mist…Seems like we'll be paid extra for your head."
A/N: End of chapter, sorry I had to end it there, cliffhanger stuff. Oh, and don't mind that Sasuke and Naruto know a powerful jutsu, they'll use them and you'll see why they're so powerful. So anyway, next chapter, Zabuza, Inari, chakra control exercises, and KyuubiKure, and SasufemHaku!
