Again with the long wait… Sorry y'all, I am in some hard times… I could write a couple lines of reasons which most of you won't even read. So let's skip that part and come to the main thing: story. (BTW How much of you continue to follow this story if I were to make it a bisexual one?)

(You know the legend. No? check the first chapter)

Don't own naruto. Do I look like Japanese?

CH12: WAY TO WAVES

NEXT DAY - THE RED BRIDGE

Team 7 was waiting for their sensei.

Sakura was nagging Sasuke for a date with him… but would have better luck with a stone.

Sasuke was pretending to napping over Sakura's nagging. After 15 minutes of ignoring didn't work, he tried that… for 5 minutes… his hopes were diminishing.

And Naruto was…

Naruto was at home, having breakfast and drinking his coffee. He trusted his trusty kage bunshin to warn him… and it did. Naruto sighed and with a hand seal, he was at the forest behind their bridge. He walked to it.

"Hello guys." He greeted Sasuke and Sakura. Sasuke – after thinking enough is enough and switched to ignoring Sakura – nodded his head in response. Sakura looked at Naruto, glared and continued nagging Sasuke, who groaned in annoyance. Naruto walked to a nearby tree and sat on its shade.

"Sorry I am late-" "LI- oh forget it…" Sakura slumped down and Sasuke facepalmed. He wanted to be Kakashi right now. Kakashi just eye smiled. Naruto boredly joined them.

"Anyway, let's go to Hokage-sama for a mission."

HOKAGE TOWER

"Team 7 reports for a mission, Hokage-sama" Kakashi greeted Hiruzen, who took a puff from his ever-lit pipe.

"Welcome once again team 7. Another D rank Kakashi?" Hiruzen asked with a smile. Kakashi hummed and looked at the genins, they were vigorously shaking their heads.

"Yes" He said with an eye smile.

"That's it!" Surprisingly it was Naruto who exploded. He got behind Sasuke - who looked at him in confusion, put his fingers in a cross hand seal and pushed his chakra through Sasuke. Another Sasuke puffed to being and two Sasukes looked each other with shock. He had planned to do same to Sakura, then make one for himself to send them for the mission but-

Thud.

Everyone looked at the unconscious Sakura, who had a stupid smile on her face and sweatdropped.

"Naruto? I didn't know you could do that." Kakashi curiously stated. Naruto grunted.

"Time and boredom, sensei. I even learned that kage bunshin passes its experiences to its caster with same way." Naruto lied smoothly. His eyes then took a glint of mischief and moved to Sakura's unmoving body.

"Sakura! Sasuke desperately needs you to hug him!"

The effect was instant. Sasukes looked at Sakura in horror, cursed Naruto and started running to different ways, Sakura squealed, jumped to her feet, choose a target Sasuke and chased him and Naruto watched all with a smile.

Kakashi rescued Sasuke by grabbing Sakura from back of her dress while reading his book. Sasuke shot him a relived look between pants and glared at Naruto after winded a little, who waved back at him. They jolted back at the moment by Hiruzen's laugh.

"Actually, we better start taking C ranks Hokage-sama." Kakashi returned to business.

"Is that so?" Hiruzen muttered. "Send Tazuna-san in."

An old, Drunk man stepped inside and looked at the team 7.

"I thought konoha was best, I gave a lot of coin for a scarecrow and some snot nosed brats? They look like they don't need foes to get defeated, especially that short one with blonde hair." The man grumbled and took another huge swing from his liquor. Naruto sighed, others glared.

"We are best; short, snot nosed blond brat ninja for drunk, stinky old client. Perfect match." He replied boredly, earning a glare from the client.

"Naruto, behave." Kakashi absently reprimanded.

"Yes sensei." Naruto amended as absently.

"Your mission is guarding Tazuna-san to Wave Country." Hiruzen said.

"Alright team, pack for at least 2 weeks of supplies. Let's meet at East Gate 1 hour later." Kakashi turned back and vanished with a puff of smoke.

1 HOUR LATER – EAST GATE

They all were arrived at the gates, ready to go.

"Wow sensei, I didn't know you could do that." Naruto said after seeing Kakashi arrive on time.

"Do what, Naruto?" Kakashi asked.

"Arriving on time, I wouldn't be surprised if you were to be late to your own grave." Naruto replied.

"Oh, come now. I am not that bad, am I?" The genins gave him a 'do you really need to ask?' look.

"Maybe I should go back to be late a little more then?" Kakashi asked with an eye smile, genins were back to track.

As they go past the gates Naruto commented on what was at other genins' mind.

"First time out of Konoha's walls… Interesting." He shrugged and walked ahead.

SOME TIME LATER

They walked near a puddle near road. Naruto saw it and pretended to ignore it, Sasuke and Sakura were seemingly oblivious to it; Sakura was making small chat with their client and Sasuke was in his own world. Kakashi spared a glance at it and returned to his book. They walked past it and for a moment it was calm.

Then a cloaked duo with bladed chain lunged at them, wrapped the chain around Kakashi and seemingly sliced him apart.

"One goes down…" one of the duo started. "…Four to go." The other finished.

"Sensei!" Sakura shouted, Sasuke was shocked and Naruto looked at the trees for a moment and looked at Sasuke with focus.

Sasuke threw a shuriken at the chain, then a kunai to middle of shuriken after it bended the chain to a tree to pin it. He, then jumped and kicked the interrupted duo from behind their heads. The chain gave away and they were separated. A kunai whistled and hit one of their assailant's head, killed him instantly. Sasuke got sickened at the death and didn't saw the other assailant coming for him on time. When he saw assailant it was already too late, the clawed hand was already trusting for his brain…
