Hyuuga Naruto

I don't own Naruto!

Chapter 11: New Mission

"Ugh," Naruto said. "Why are we up here so early?" All of team nine was gathered in the Hokage's office early in the morning for a surprise mission. Guy had told them it would be "extra youthful". Normally this would have driven Naruto and Tenten away, but a mission was a mission.

"Quiet Naruto. As Guy has already told you, I have a mission for you today," The Hokage began. "However, this is no ordinary D rank, it will be a C rank escort mission to the Wave Country"

"As amazing as that is, it sounds a lot like the C rank mission that team 7 had a week ago..." Naruto said.

"Well ignore that. I would like you all to pack for at least a week of travel (you never know!) and gather at the gate at 8 am today to meet your client. She will explain the mission to you. Dismissed." The Sarutobi finished tiredly.

"Yes sir." All four said before exiting the room. As they walked outside, they jumped in opposite directions after quickly saying goodbyes.

Minor time skip

Team nine had gathered for the second time today at the earlier mentioned time and place. Upon arrival, they were greeted with an unfamiliar face.

"Hello," The woman said. "My name is Kimi and I hope you are all the team that is here to help me."

"That would be us!" Guy said cheerfully. "Why don't we get going, and you can explain the mission to us on the way." With that the party of five exited the gates and slowly made their way from the village.

"So Kimi," Lee began. "What exactly drives you to visit Wave Country? I heard it's not doing to well financially..."

"Well you see," Kimi began slowly, choosing the right words. "I was born to my parents in Wave Country. My father was apparently a strong shinobi, who was assassinated a few days after my birth. Fearing they would come for me because I was his child, my mother brought me to a small town in Fire Country, just outside the leaf village. Now I'm determined to find her in the Land of Waves." She finished with a tired smile.

"Oh wow, how exciting for you!" Tenten said. "We can definitely get you there, and maybe even help you find your mother!"

"Wow, you would really do that for me? Thank you so much!" Kimi exclaimed with tears in her eyes.

"YOSH!" Guy yelled, getting pumped.

'Oh God here he goes..." Naruto thought to himself.

"WE HAVE NO TIME TO LOSE! LET'S GO OFF TO THE WAVE!" And with that they hurried off as fast as they could without leaving Kimi behind. After all, civilians aren't nearly as fast and they couldn't lose their client!

Timeskip!

It had been a day and a half of travel and the group had almost made it to the Land of Waves.

"I decided now was the best time to come, because a bridge had recently been built connecting Fire and Wave Country," Kimi said.

"Oh wow, that must be a big bridge," Naruto thought aloud.

"LOOK! THERE IT IS NOW!" Lee yelled.

"Oh look its name is ingraved into the top of it," Guy pointed out. "The Kakashi Brid-" Guy just stood there with his mouth open.

"Ummm... Guy sensei?" Tenten asked. Unsure of her master's health.

"Oh my God I think he died from shock..." Naruto said worriedly.

"DAMN IT! NOT ONLY WAS MY ETERNAL RIVAL ALREADY HERE, BUT HE GOT HIS OWN BRIDGE TOO!" Guy said while crying tears of pure anguish.

'He spazzed out again...' Naruto thought. 'If he keeps this up he's going to scare Kimi away...'

"Anyway," Tenten said tiredly, "let's cross this bridge and find your mother!"

The team began the tedious task of crossing the enormous bridge at a walking pace. But when they neared the middle, a fog rolled in.

"I just got an ominous feeling..." Lee said.

"Naruto," Guy said in a serious tone, "use your byakugan and scan the area."
Naruto did as told. "I can't see a source, but I detect a large mass of chakra all around," Naruto said with a confused and scared expression.

Just then a footstep other than theirs echoed aloud. Instantly the genin had surrounded Kimi in a defensive position and Guy was in front of them, also ready to attack if needed.

As the team waited in a tense silence, a silhouette appeared, approaching them. Out of the fog stepped-

OOOOH another cliff hanger. I'm so evil :3 Who's in the fog, friend or foe? What will happen next? Stay tuned and find out! Read and review, thanks!
