Naruto-POV

Day 1: D-ranks

1: Painting fences. I swished the beautifully majestic paint-brush across the damaged rotting fence, watching as the mossy green colour filled the old white area. I then winced as I heard a large noise.

"BORING" from Sakura and I sweat-drooped "(it's only been 5 minutes…)"

2: Dog walking. The dog owner 'very politely' requested that I not touch her dogs, which I was fine with. Kakashi-sensei was walking the 2 biggest dogs that had been quietly growling at each other the entire time. Sasuke-teme was walking a medium-sized dog that seemed like it was scared of all the other ones, and did its business a lot more quietly than Sakura-iraira ones. She had two small, very yappy, dogs that made me want to muzzle them and throw them into a waterfall to drown out the terrible constant noise.

"(that sounds way worse outloud, maybe it's good I didn't have one, hmmmm)"

3: Take out the trash. Ok now this was lame, we are Ninjas not the villagers personal servants! We were all assigned 3 houses to take their trash out. ⅔ houses glared at me, and scowlered, and slammed the door, so I made sure they had a great time, hehehe. The third one just smiled awkwardly and let me do my job quickly, quietly, and easily. I like those kind of people.

4: catch the fire daimyo's wifes cat Tora. *through intercom*

"Raven, in position"

"Pinky, in position"

"Mask, in position"

"Blonde, in position"

"We go in 3, 2, 1…"

"Huh" 3 out of four people said. They watched fascinated as the cat was purring in Naruto's lap awkwardly.

* Flash-Back-No-Jutsu-Third-Pov*

"So this is the infamous training ground 47, better known as the forest of death" Said a 9 Year old Naruto.

"Got that right kit" Naruto smirked

"Well let's see what its got"

*6 hours later*

"This place is amazing!" exclaimed Naruto. He'd been mapping out the forest as well as the rest of Konoha recently, but this had to be the best. He'd only mapped about a fifth of the place, but he'd already found a nice river that had a beautiful clearing, among other things, and the forest itself was full of life.

He eventually found a large tower, filled with vines, roughly in the centre of the forest.

"Hey, there's an uzumaki symbol on the front door, maybe it belonged to my clan" Naruto said while walking up to the entrance.

"I'll have to ask ji-ji about this later, this forest is already amazing, maybe I could even get out of that crappy apartment!" Naruto said happily and Kurama laughed.

"Your right kit, I already feel like I remember this place, like I've been here in a... previous jinchuuriki?" Kurama suggested.

"Yeah" Naruto responded. He reached out his senses, exploring the area like he'd done a few times already. He whipped around to face a fox that jumped on him, he pulled out a kunai, but the fox was... licking him?

"H- hey get off" Naruto heaved the fox off him, his cheek and nose now thoroughly wet.

"Hey Kurama what's with this thing not attacking me, like surely im in its territory or something!"

"Oh, I remember, your mother, she always had an affliction for animals, maybe it runs in the family blood, or it's just because of me"

"Oh"

*Flash-Back-No-Justu-End*

"Team-7 reporting back from 4 D-ranks" Kakashi said to the hokage, who was currently handing out missions in the academy. The Hokage handed out the ryo to the 3 genins and 1 jonin.

"Dismissed, Naruto you stay" after the others left, Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe before sighing.

"Naruto, why do I have two reports of people in their houses, that I know you went to for D-ranks, hanging from their ceiling with rope" Hiruzen said, puffing his pipe again.

"Well, they disrespected me, I'm a ninja, their civilians, I outrank them, and as they did not respect a higher-up, I showed them it" Naruto simply responded, as if this happened everyday. The old Hokage sighed again.

"I guess with that reasoning there's no real argument against you. You're free to go, though I advise you watch your step, as news travels fast." Hiruzen said begrudgingly, and Naruto shrugged, before disappearing and leaving behind a mini tornado of leaves.

"(More paperwork)" the old Hoakge sighed.

*One month later*

"Lets see what he have here today, helping carrying items, cleaning paths-"

"With all due respect Hokage-Sama I am an Uchiha elite, I shouldn't be doing mere chores" Sasuke interrupted, with a hint of anger in his voice, which Naruto silently nodded agreement to. Hiruzen sighed, it seemed he'd been doing that alot lately.

"Well I do have one C-Rank available, but ONLY if your sensei agrees, Kakashi?" Hiruzen questioned the Silver haired man, who nodded.

"I believe they are ready, they have done the necessary 50 D-Ranks, and they're strong enough," Kakashi replied. Naruto inwardly cringed.

"WE DID THAT LIKE 2 WEEKS AGO WE ARE AT LIKE 100 'DRANKS' NOW" Sakura screeched, gaining the momentarily attention of everyone in the room.

"Very well then, bring in the bridge builder" The Hokage called quietly, trying to lessen the noise in the now loud room. A few moments later an old man with a bottle of sake in his hand stumbled in. He stunk of liquor and he was quite obviously very drunk.

"Tazuna-san, these will be your escorts to Nami no Kuni" The Hokage said, as the bridge builder took a large gulp of sake.

"Eh? These brats are supposed to protect me? Duckbut, pinky and blondie? Are you sure about this Hokage-sama?" Tazuna said, earning glares from Sasuke and Sakura, whilst Naruto just played with a kunai in his hands.

"I assure you Tazuna-san my team is perfectly capable of a C-rank mission" Kakashi said, ignoring Tazunas grumbles about brats. Kakashi turned to his team.

"Alright, we meet at the east gate in an hour, make sure you've packed enough for at least a week, you never know what might happen" Kakashi said, before disappearing with a swirling leaf shunshin.

"Hm, where did Naruto go?" Sakura thought aloud, before chasing her 'Sasuke-kun'.

*Narutos-House-Narutos-POV*

Naruto appeared in a shunshin at his home, and he started to get ready. He had a black long sleeved shirt that had grey camo spattered over it. Over the shirt he had anbu armor on his arms and chest, as well as shoulder pads, on the right one the uzumaki symbol, and the left having the konoha symbol. He had grey camo pants that had multiple pockets for storage, and he put on combat boots to top it off. Also, as an extra, his armbands both had a small compartment for storing 5-6 soldier pills each.

After he got dressed, he put weapons in multiple seals on his body. On his left wrist and arm he had sealed kunai, shuriken, paper bombs, ect. While the only thing sealed on his right arm was a katana on his wrist. The katana was 63cm long and made out of chakra metal, so it could partially absorb jutsu, while it could have chakra pulsed through it to cast jutsu. The hilt had a small but delicate red fox spiraling up to the handguard, which was golden, while the actual blade was matte black and had a red triangle pattern on the sharp edge, and had the same kanji in the middle on both sides, 狐 Meaning fox. He also packed a scroll with everything he would need, etc. food, tent, sleeping bag, clothes, water, and even a training dummy.

Once he was done he walked steadily towards the east gate. Naruto received glares from most, 'Most', some actually respected him now he was a ninja, also the fact they couldn't harm him anymore. Some had tried, and let's just say the punishment was... jaring. He reached the gate, and hopped up onto a nearby tree to wait for the others, as he was around 45minutes early.

*Third-POV*

After another 15 minutes Sasuke came, grunting a greeting to him. Another 10 minutes later Kakashi came, followed soon by a panting sakura.

"Sorry i'm late *Huff* my parents wouldn't stop nagging me *Huff* They're so annoying," Sakura said, earning glares from the 2 genin orphans, while the jonin orphan decided to just read his pervy book. Great job sakura

"Where's Naruto? That idiot probably tripped up and fell into a puddle, so he had to change clothes, then he did it again that idiot" Sakura said, and was stopped from saying any probably really messed up things about Naruto's 'parental absence' before he stopped her.

"Yo!" Naruto said as he jumped down from the tree, landing next to Kakashi.

"HEH, when did you get here idiot!" yelled Sakura annoyedingly, hurting everyone's ears within a relatively close radius.

"Oi oi Sakura no need to be so loud, and for your information I was the first one here, another thing, shouldn't we be congratulating Kakashi-sensei for BEING EARLY" Said Naruto happily, wiping away fake tears.

"I'm so proud of you Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto said with anime eyes. Sasuke, who hadn't said anything yet, smirked.

"Well well Naruto this is an official mission, more or less, what about you? You look like you're about to take on an anbu mission" Replied Kakashi, giving his famous 'one eyed smile'.

"Even if this is a C-rank, and I'm Genin, Every shinobi Has to be ready for the worst," Naruto said in a Matter of fact' voice.

"Hn" Sasuke voiced his opinion.

"For those who don't speak Uchiha, he said "The dobes got a point" Naruto translated. Sasuke looked away while Sakura kept being annoying.

"What about your back pack Idiot, you need stuff!" Said Saukra, and Naruto pulled out a scroll.

"Well I have this storage-"

"Whata yall blabbering about, we should get going" A drunken Tazuna came into view, surprising not holding a bottle of sake. The old bridge builder did have a large basket that unsurprisingly smelled like it had booze in it.

"Of course Tazuna-san, diamond formation" Said Kakashi, checking in the with 'eternal gate guardians' Izuuma and Kotetsu before taking the back of the formation to protect from an ambush, Sakura and Sasuke on the flank, while the sensor, Naruto, was in the front.

They had been walking for a some hours, and they could run, but noooo Tazuna can't. Naruto was slightly annoyed, at this pace they would be lucky to arrive by morning tomorrow. Through his annoyance, Naruto was on high alert. And it wasn't long before his abilities picked up something. He did a couple of movements with his hands to alert the others.

"few hundred ahead, chakra, high Chunin" Naruto unverbably said. Only 2 of the group got it. Kakashi got it and Sauske only got the last half. Sakura was too busy doing her hair in a hand mirror and Tazuna wasn't a shinobi.

A few minutes later a puddle came up on the path, even though it hasn't rained in days. Naruto's sensor abilities were firing at max towards it. Naruto knew Kakashi knew, so he left it to him. Everyone walked over the puddle, and once Kakashi went over it, 2 men with their hidden rain hiata crossed out, came out of the puddle, both with large chains ripped apart Kakashi.

"One down, 3 to go"

Naruto and Sasuke dashed into action, while Sakura quickly pulled out shaky kunai next to Tazuna after screaming.

Naruto unsealed his katana, taking on the what looked oldest demon brother. He jumped over the chain the brother swung at him, before slashing at the man's chest. He blocked with his chain, but Naruto thrust his Katana through one of the chain links, stabbing him in the heart, instantly killing him.

Sasuke hadn't killed his opponent, but he wasn't in good shape. Sakura vomited all over the ground, and Sasuke was just keeping it down, though harder to tell.

Naruto glanced towards the trees as Kakashi came out. Where Kakashi 'died' was just a log from a substitution.

"(I'll have to console them later) Kakashi thought, glancing towards the genin.

"Now now Tazuna-san why are there rough chunin attacking you and my cute little genins" Kakashi said, as a dark aura came behind him, making Tazuna piss his pants. He explained how his village was being controlled by a thug called Gato, and how they were so poor he couldn't pay for a b-rank, and that building this bridge will make the country flourish. After that they set up camp and Kakashi interregated the surviving demon brother for any information, before sending a bird letter to the Hokage.

After awhile the team was sitting around a fire, watching the embers burn the wood.

"You know it was you or them," Kakashi said, gaining everyone's attention. While Naruto had heard this before.

"In the shinobi world it's kill or be killed, you were doing what they would have done to you" Kakashi said, making Sasuke feel better, though Sakura still looked a bit ill. Naruto sat up.

"Thank you for the speech Kakashi sensei, I think I'm gonna hit the hay now," Naruto said, turning to his tent. Soon followed by Sakura and Sasuke.

"Guess I'll take the first watch," Kakahshi said to the forest.

Next day

The team packed up their items, and started walking. It was around noon, and they had just taken a boat ride towards the Nami no Kuni inland.

"This is as far as I go" The boatman said worriedly, while slightly shaking. Kakashi thanked him as they continued towards the village. They were nearing the village as mist started rolling in suspiciously.

"Duck!" Naruto and Kakashi said at the same time, as Kakashi tackled Tazuna to the ground.

Everyone else ducked as A gigantic sword with a hole in it flew over them into a tree.

On top of the word appeared a man with a lot of bandages and cowskin arm warmers.

"Zabuza" Kakashi said.

Ohhhh cliff hanger. Yeah the fight scene sucked. I suck at writing them, even more sword fights. I was thinking about how I gave Naruto no backstory and how it makes him more mysterious.

"Its shity writing"

"No it gives him more to expand"

"Its bad planning"

"Shut up"

"It gives yourstory more annoying flashbacks"

*shoves other self into an oven*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAny way, leave a review. Please tell me what I can improve, I promise I'll write better in the future.

"N-no yo-u wo-n'-t"
