'They aren't following me anymore?' Naruto thought to himself with a raised eyebrow as he looked behind him. Naruto had ripped a piece of his skirt off and had them shoved into his ears so that he could block out of hearing, and thus, also block out the source of the Genjutsu that he honestly had no real defense against. Sure, his right eye could see through Genjutsu, but his body was still frozen by Genjutsu made to restrain him until he could learn how to negate them. He was in a wide open area just outside of the village at this moment, and there was no sign of his enemies.

Well, that should be expected.

Naruto was sitting on a giant toad, and they both had a large disadvantage in this wide open area. That spider guy wouldn't be able to use the trees to his advantage, while the girl would have nothing to truly protect herself with while she played her music. She would be wide in the open, and with only her music to try and trap Naruto. Not to mention, any large flares in chakra would attract the people that came on the mission with Naruto now that they were this close by. Tayuya would be defenseless against Naruto and his toad, weapons, and clones since his ears were blocked out. The girl didn't have nearly as much muscle tone to her body that showed strength, even if she was stronger than a normal person.

The spider guy had more arms to fight with, but he didn't have the advantage of being able to corner Naruto anywhere close enough to actually use those arms. Naruto wore metal armor, unless this guy focused strictly on his legs and face, he wasn't going to be hurting Naruto at the moment. Punching metal wasn't a bright idea, and facing a person covered in metal in a close range battle without the advantage was something people would avoid... and it was even dumber when said person was now known to use swords in close range. Kidomaru seemed like the smart type to retreat back and come and try again another day when he had the advantage.

Right now though, they didn't have the same element of surprise. Naruto knew about them, and had a basic understanding of their skills.

Naruto took the plugs out of his ears, before he jumped in shock when he felt somebody tapping on his shoulder. Naruto summoned a sword and swung it around, only for it to come into contract with a kunai from Kurenai, who was struggling a little to hold back the sword from the surprisingly physically strong 13 year old boy. Naruto sighed in relief when he saw that it was his teammates for the mission, and he put away his sword without letting go of the giant pincer that he got his hands on from the giant spider he killed earlier.

"Whoa!? Naruto, what has you so jumpy!?" Kiba shouted as his dog gave a quick bark in agreement at the question.

"My bugs detect a slight pheromone shift in Naruto, he has been poisoned with a potent sleeping drug. Per chance, were you attacked?" Shino questioned, and Hinata was giving Naruto a soft look, hoping that he hadn't been attacked by anyone.

"How did your bugs... never mind, I don't want to know. Yeah, some people attacked me. I killed two of them, but two more are skill out there. The things attacking this town were summon creatures." Naruto informed them of the information he had gathered so far about the enemy. Kurenai looked alarmed at the information, while Kiba looked very excited about this information.

"I see... this mission is too high ranking for a Genin team. Pack up, we are leaving back for Konoha." Kurenai ordered her team, and Naruto, with a stern voice. Naruto looked surprised at this, being very sure that when you learned about enemy shinobi you were supposed to confront them and beat them up.

"But they will just keep attacking the village if that is the case. We need to protect these people from anymore attacks!" Naruto argued with Kurenai, who frowned at Naruto.

"Ninja with summoning animals are always treated to be Jonin level. Hinata, Kiba, Akamaru, and Shino are not strong enough to not be a liability. This is a C-Rank mission, and you completed it. Summoning animals can't be subdued, by killing the ones responsible you have completed the mission to the minimum degree now that there is no promise of another attack. Anyway, this mission would be boosted to a B-Rank, and my team isn't ready. This is an order from your superior Chunin-Uzumaki." Kurenai stated clearly as she turned around and started to walk back in the direction of Konoha. Her own genin team very disappointed by this, while Naruto had a deep frown on his face at this.

To leave these people behind to go against two angry ninja... he felt bad about leaving the mission, but he had confirmed what was attacking the crops... then he killed the man causes... there was no more reason to stay. The mission was to deal with the animals, and the animals were dealt with, they were not charged with taking out enemy ninja considered to be jonin rank in danger.

"Damn, and I was wanting to get this mission upgraded... damn. Hey, where did you get that giant fang?" Kiba asked as he looked at the giant fang that Naruto had with him. Naruto tossed it to Kiba to look at it, only for it to knock Kiba off his feet and push him to the ground. Kiba was crushed under the weight of the giant pincer, so with a sheepish look Naruto grabbed the horn and struck it to his hand with chakra. Naruto lifted it up off of Kiba, before he extended his other hand to help Kiba stand back up.

"Sorry about that Kiba, I killed a spider and got it." Naruto explained simply, not wasting too many words.

"A spider... really... THIS... came from a spider?" Kiba questioned without even slightly believing it. He had never seen a spider big enough to produce a pincer this big, so it was normal for him to be very suspicious. The fact he was used to Naruto exaggerating things a little made him a bit more skeptical of this information.

"Summon creatures usually come bigger than normal animals, you should not be so skeptical Kiba, why, because your clan breeds dogs much larger than normal dogs. Larger spiders are very well within the realm of reality." Shino explained as he passed by Naruto and Kiba, both boys sending Shino a confused look. It wasn't that Shino was hard to understand, but he said things in such a way that you could never tell if he was insulting you or not. His tone was just so... so that you could never tell what he was ever feeling... ever.

"Naruto, Kiba, hurry up. I want to get back to the village before nightfall." Kurenai called out as she started to run with Hinata and Shino following behind her. Naruto sighed and rubbed the back of his head, before he started to run towards them and quickly caught up with them. Even with his heavy armor on he was able to catch up with Hinata and Shino, before going passed them as Kiba caught up a few minutes later.

"Hey Hinata, do you... and she is out like a light?" Naruto questioned when he grabbed Hinata by the back of the jacket and lifted her up before she could hit the ground. To him, she weighed very little, even in her knocked out state with a red face. He didn't notice Kurenai smiling lightly as she looked behind her, so Naruto held her on his shoulder and she changed her expression to surprise at how little Naruto seemed to be surprised by the fainting of Hinata or her red face... and the fact he was carrying her while running with extreme ease. He didn't even have to stop running to catch her, he had caught her while running.

"Wow, Hinata fainted again." Kiba said with a raised eyebrow, but didn't comment any further than that.

"Naruto, will you be alright carrying that pincer and Hinata at the same time? They must be rather heavy when added together." Shino questioned with concern for both Hinata, and the speed that they could travel with Naruto slowed down.

"The pincer is kind of heavy, but my heaviest armor weighs a WHOLE lot more than Hinata, the pincer, and my current armor, combined... maybe ten or twenty times as heavy. I can run with them." Naruto said without really minding the weight increase. He couldn't use some of his armors in battle yet, but he DID know how to summon the armors, they were just took far too long for him to summon at this point in time.

"Hey Naruto, what were those people you fought like?" Kiba asked, and Kurenai looked back a little so that she could listen in on this.

"Well, I killed two by surprise... other than that, I can't really say. They attacked me first, and one used these really strong sound Genjutsu. The other had six arms... he also wore a Sound headband... so I guess they were from the sound village. I didn't see a slash on it, so I don't think he was rogue." Naruto said after a moment as he tried to recall what he could about them. He didn't really pay very much attention to them other than their abilities, and he didn't get to see the abilities of the first two since he killed them by surprise.

"Was she cute?" Kiba asked with a growing grin on his face.

"So-so, she had a nice body, but her attitude looked like it would be a deal breaker. A really big deal breaker." Naruto said with a shiver. He loved red hair for some reason, but that girl's attitude was a big no with Naruto. Kiba shivered as well, imagining what kind of girl Naruto was talking about, and finding her not to his liking. A good body wasn't everything, since Kiba prefered girls that didn't act like his mother and have a bad attitude.

"How big were her ha-has?" Kiba asked another 'important' question.

"Eh... B cup or maybe C cup if I was being generous... most likely A cup... she wore loose fitting clothes. Good thighs though, and she was thin... easily her best two traits besides her hair. Though, lately I have been finding myself liking darker hair more." Naruto said honestly, having no idea how his conversation with Kiba was starting to annoy Kurenai, a woman, at how the two boys were talking about a woman like an object. Obviously, she forgot that women talked about men like they were objects as well, the only difference was that women didn't do it in public like guys did. They were much more critical than guys were in private.

While a man would point out every sexy trait, and lightly summarize the bad ones, a woman would go into GREAT detail about the bad traits, and lightly cover the good ones.

Basically, you had to find a real special girl that would notice your good traits before the bad ones.

"Toned but juicy, or thick but sexy?" Kiba asked in a dead serious face.

"Neither, toned but a bit thinner... she didn't have much of a butt. She was a year or two older than us I think." Naruto explained, and Kurenai's eye was twitching big time as she listened to them go on and on about a woman. Sure the mission was over, but they were in the presence of a lady. That alone should keep them from talking about a woman like that.

"That young huh... and you called her strong." Kiba muttered lightly with a frown this time.

"Not strong, she would be weak, but she used really weird Genjutsu. She would have had me beat, but my right eye is immune to illusions and eye based techniques. I still have no idea where it came from though." Naruto said, lying about not knowing about where the eye came from. He was sure the others would not be so happy about him stealing somebodies eye, because he was sure they would doubt his story about a ghost giving him permission to grave rob, steal her eye, and then possess him.

"Interesting... very interesting." Kurenai muttered to herself with a small frown at this information.

She would let them have their conversation, because who knows what kind of information she could pick up if she listened in on this.

Information on the Jinchuriki was always important.
