"Tell me what you see, Hinata." Ordered Shino.

"I see ten normal bandits with civilian-sized chakra, five with chunin level chakra, and two with low jonin level chakra, which are being protected by the ten." Replied the Hyuga, using her byakugan to scout out the enemy.

Currently, Team 8, along with Naruto, was in the middle of a B turned A-rank mission. They were to take out the bandit camp they were currently scouting out. The scouting was fairly easy. They hid under the cover of night, the new moon hanging in the
sky, while Hinata use her family's doujutsu to spy on the enemy.

"Damn, that means it's officially an A-rank mission." Muttered Naruto.

"Are you seriously complaining, man? It's time to kick some ass." Whispered Kiba excitedly.

"Sometimes just rushing in can get you killed. It's possible we're in over our heads. What do you guys think? It is your mission after all." Explained Naruto.

"I have to agree with Naruto. It's most logical to pull out and let a more experienced ninja handle it." Said Shino.

"I say we stay and fight." Said Kiba, further extending his point with a punch to his hand.

"What about you Hinata. If you agree to stay, I'll concede and fight alongside you. If you were to agree to leave, then we all leave." Said Naruto.

"I-I'd like to, uh, leave. I-I don't believe w-we are ready f-for this, y-yet." Explained Hinata.

"What!? Are you guys serious? Fine, I'll take them all on by myself!" Kiba exclaimed, running off toward the camp.

"Shit. Let's go before he gets himself killed." Ordered Naruto before he jumped off after the brash Inuzuka. Soon he was followed by the two remaining members of Team 8.

Soon enough, the trio came upon Kiba getting knocked around by three men that appeared to be chunin level ninja.

After surveying the area, Naruto noticed two bloodied bodies, which he presumed to be the victims of a surprise attack. When he heard Hinata gasp and start running toward Kiba, he looked over to the fight. The first thing he saw was Kiba on the ground,
unable to get up due to a bloody leg. The second thing Naruto noticed was one of the missing-nins about to decapitate said Inuzuka.

Without thinking, Naruto used a quick substitution with Kiba. He appeared laying down where Kiba was. He quickly pulled a kunai out of his pouch, jumped up, and stabbed the aforementioned knife through the ex-chunin's throat, effectively killing him.
Before anyone could react, he ripped the kunai out and threw it into another man's skull.

After the death of his other two comrades, the final shinobi seemed to reestablish himself to the point where he could block the kick his enemy had just launched at his head, albeit at the last minute. Plus, with the kick being as powerful as it was,
he was still launched into the side of a building.

After launching the single remaining chunin into a building, Naruto rushed over to Kiba. As soon as he made it to Team 8, he crouched down and asked, "Is he alright?"

"His leg seems to be broken. I'll do what I can, but I'm not a medic. Shino and I can take care of him, go finish the job." Hinata said with an air of confidence.

'Man, I've never seen Hinata like this. Well, if Pervy Sage taught me anything, it's to never anger a woman.' With that last thought, Naruto took off toward the center of camp.

He didn't get very far before the chunin from before jumped in his path. He was wearing a dark green gi with white trimming. His red hair fell loosely to his shoulders. His marked out Kiri headband kept his bangs out of his face. The untrimmed tail of
his headband flowed in the wind, easily passing the two feet mark.

"That kick hurt like a-"

"Language! I'm still just a child." Yelled Naruto, interrupting the foul-mouthed rogue. "Now, let's get started."

At those words, both ninja jumped into a fierce battle. Both of them had drawn a kunai, opting to make the battle quick. The first one to draw blood was the older ninja.

"Looks like first blood goes to me." State the man proudly.

"Unless you count when I kicked your sorry ass into that barn." Retorted the blond.

"Urg! You'll pay for that comment, runt!" Yelled the obviously embarrassed and angered male.

"It's not my fault you're so weak you let a 16 year old defeat you." Naruto said as he easily dodged the enraged man's strikes.

"I'll show you who's weak you little fu-"

"What did I say about your language?" Naruto interrupted once again. He dodged one more of the older ninja's strikes before making use of an opening in his opponent's defenses. With speed that surprised his enemy, Naruto jabbed his kunai into his lung.
Without thinking, he removed the kunai with a spin, then implanting it inside his opponent's head.

With that nuisance dealt with, Naruto resumed his run towards the largest tent, which he assumed would hold the remaining enemies. He ran for what felt like an eternity, but was actually only about two minutes. Old habits die hard, and his impatience
was definitely an old habit.

When Naruto arrived to the front of the tent, four of the twelve remaining opposing party stood guarding the entrance. He made quick work of them, not even stopping when he threw the four needed shuriken into various vital spots. He quickly jumped through
the tent, automatically summoning ten shadow clones.

The tent was huge. It was in a normal circular fashion, but the radius alone had to be close to about twenty feet, and the height had to go to about thirty feet, at least. You could tell this doubled as a mess hall, as there were four tables with long
benches next to them. Some tables even still had plates on them from their earlier dinner.

The original Naruto along with his extra four made a B line for the two jonin, while the other six dealt with the normal bandits. With his initial surprise, they were dealt with quickly. Only one or two of the better bandits put up a fight, but they were
still easily taken care of. Now his problem was the two ex-jonin. Both obviously from Kusa, seeing as their marked out headbands were around their waist.

They may have been from the same village, but besides their forehead protector placement, that's where their similarities ended. The first man, though giant was more accurate, stood at around six and a half feet. His muscular frame was obviously kept
in peak condition. He looked like he belonged in Kumo. His head was void of any hair. His tan chest bare except for a scar running from his navel to the beginning of his left rib cage, and a strap that held a giant sledgehammer position so he could
grab it over his right soldier. His white shorts were, well, not exactly white anymore. He obviously didn't bathe enough. Not only were his pants matted with mud, blood, and other bodily fluids, but Naruto could smell him even at the distance of about
twenty feet.

The other one was a stark contrast. His pale, bespectacled face was the only skin one could see of him. He stood at about 5'2", and had long, curly black hair that went about mid back. His white shirt was short sleeved and spotless. Though white wrappings
went from before the shirt began, all the way to the tips of his fingers on both hands, though you could see how skinny he was through the wrappings. He had on baggy pants that were taped off at the mid-shin, with more wrapping covering the rest of
his feet, and white ninja sandal. Despite how dirty his partner was, there wasn't a single spot on any piece of his outfit.

'So the giant is definitely a taijutsu user. I'm not sure about shorty, but it could either be nin or genjutsu.' Thought Naruto as he continued running at them with his entourage.

"Now, let's see how you two fight!" Naruto yelled as he launched a flying kick at the giant, while his four clones went against his short friend.

I know, cliche cliffhanger. But do you know how long it took for me to come up with chapter? Obviously not very long, seeing as I'm updating twice in one week. Surprising, I know. Still, I've been up all night writing this, and it's been fun. I'll try to write more soon, but, I do somewhat have a life. Not really. Until next time.
