"Sasuke, I'm at point B."
"Sakura, I'm at point C."
"Naruto, I'm at point A. Believe it!"
"Too slow Naruto. Okay, Squad Seven."
A black beast lept from a tree into the bushes below, using the surrounding forest greenery as an effective shield.
"The target has moved! Follow it."
Three ninja can be seen from their hiding places. One with raven black hair, another with bubblegum pink, and the last with knucklehead blond.
"Over there." The blond whispered through his earpiece.
"What's your distance from the target?" Came the silver haired jonin's voice.
"Five meters." Naruto replied, "I'm ready, just give the signal."
"I'm ready too." voiced the confident Sasuke.
"So am I." Sakura finished.
"Okay...now!" Kakashi ordered.
The three genin sprung from their hiding places at the beast.
"I got him, I got him!" Naruto shouted out as he wrestled with the...cat?
This only startled the poor creature as Naruto became its new scratching post with Sakura smiling all the while.
"Can you verify ribbon on right ear?" Kakashi's voice echoed from the three sets of headphones.
"Affirmative, we got a positive I.D." Sasuke replied, having almost nothing to do with the capture.
"Right. Lost pet Tora: Captured. Mission accomplished."
"I hate cats!" Naruto yelled, as his fellow ninja grabbed their heads in pain.
"COME ON GRAMPS CAN'T WE HAVE A BETTER MISSI-"
He was cut off as a fist came down on the top of his head. "NARUTO YOU BAKA!" Yelled Sakura.
"Naruto how dare you, you are genin fresh out of the academy and you need-" Iruka was cut off.
"Now now Iruka" Hiruzen interjected himself into the conversation.
"Naruto wants to prove he's a real ninja? Very well then I think I will give your team a simple 'C' rank escort mission."
"YES! WE ARE GONNA CRUSH THIS BELIEVE IT!".
Everyone sweat dropped at Naruto's sudden outburst, but Naruto and his team were thinking about other things.
'Maybe if we do good on this mission then Sasuke-Kun will finally go out with me CHA!' Sakura thought.
'Tsk whatever' which is the usual thought process of Sasuke Uchiha.
'Are they really ready? I mean what is Lord Hokage thinking' Kakashi thought while staring at The Third.
"When do we meet our client?" Everyone was brought out of their thoughts when Sasuke asked that question.
"Ah yes, Come in!" Hiruzen said while lighting his pipe.
Then through the door came a man who look to be on the borders on 50 to 60 years old with a straw hat on and a bottle of beer in his hand.
"Hey whats the big idea? I didn't pay for a bunch of snot nosed kids!" The man shouted to nobody in particular.
"Now now Tazuna" Hiruzen started only to be interrupted by a yell from a glob of Orange.
"Who are you calling snot nosed you drunken bastard!" Yelled a frustrated Naruto.
Before the now identified Tazuna could yell back he took another drink of beer only to collapse on the ground.
"Well it looks like our client is a little-" Kakashi started.
"OH GREAT, WE HAVE'NT EVEN STARTED THE MISSION AND THE GUY IS ALREADY DEAD, GREAT JUST GREAT!"
"He's just drunk you idiot" voiced by an annoyed Sasuke.
"Get him to his hotel and you can start your mission tomorrow morning" Hiruzen said as he took another inhale from his pipe and blew out.
Before Naruto could argue Kakashi cut in, "That's a great idea Lord Hokage thank you we will be on our way now" As Kakashi held his hand over Naruto's mouth.
