Author's Note: Some stuff may be a little different due to the fact i can't exactly remember all of this but I'll try my best to keep it accurate

P.S. I don't own Naruto

Night of the Uchiha Massacre

"Wake up boy," a mysterious voice says as I am roughly shaken awake.

"Wh...what's going on?" I ask sleepily as I open my eyes and see Orochimaru standing over me. I try rubbing my eyes to find my arms have been strapped down and a quick glance down tells me my legs are as well. "Orochimaru-san whats going on?" I ask my voice cracking with fear.

"Don't worry, just a few... tests," the man says without sparing me a glance. He grabs a long needle and checks it. "This might hurt a bit," he says before jamming the needle into my arm

Current Day

"Okay" Kakashi says over our comms as he hides in the bushes. "What's your distance from the target?" he asks as we slid into cover behind and in the branches of various trees.

"A few meters" I reply from my perch high above the others. Eyes steadily watching for any signs of movement watching the others to make sure they can't see my Sharingan. "It would be so much easier if Orochimaru-senpai would let me tell the others" I think as I tilt my head so it's in the shadows.

"Target is moving. GO!" our white haired teacher orders as we spring into action diving for a brown housecat.

"I got him!" Naruto yells over the cats howling. Annoyed by the racket, I grab the cat and it instantly hushes. "So no fair he likes you better." Naruto grumbles as I begin walking back towards the village.

"Right, lost pet Tora recovered." Kakashi tells whoever else is talking to him on his mic.

"CAN"T WE GET A BETTER MISSION THAN THIS! I HATE CATS!" Naruto yells causing a ton of reverb on the comm sets. A few minutes later we make it back to the Hokage's office to complete our mission.

"No wonder he ran away" Sakura says as we watch the cat get crushed by its overweight and obviously clingy owner.

"Now then for your next mission..." Hokaga-sama begins before getting interrupted by Naruto.

"Hey, old man," he starts as he ignores our corrections to his rudeness. "We want a good mission,a real mission, something that's challenging." he finishes. The leader of our village takes a second before responding.

"Very well, since you are so determined I will assign you a C-ranked bodyguard mission." He says much to everyone's surprise and excitement.

"What are we protecting?" I ask as the door to the Hokage's office opens and a heavy arome of sake and liquor floods in. I wrinkle my nose in disgust as an old man stumbles into the room very obviously drunk.

"You will be protecting Tazuna the bridge builder here as he journeys back to his hometown." The hokage explains as I examine the man, Tazuna's, clothes.

"You're gonna send a bunch of little brats to protect me?" the drunk asks as I mumble a few choice words about him to Sasuke. "I neeedateam stronger then them." he says as he slurs his words.

"We will do our best," Kakashi tells him before turning to address us Genin. "You have an hour to pack. bring at least a weeks worth of supplies and meet at the gate to the village." he says before escorting Tazuna to sober up.

An Hour Later

I'm the first to arrive at the gate. I look down at my outfit wondering if it was a good choice to wear brand new clothes for this. I pulled the strings of my dark maroon sleeveless hoodie and tightening the black chest pack so it was easier to move around. "I woulda been more comfortable in training gear but it has less protection" I think as I feel the mesh on my arms and on my neck hidden by my forehead protector. "Are the tanto blades to much? I mean I bought them so I would have signature weapons.." I think as I draw my matching black and white hilted blades. After worrying for a while longer I finally heard the others approach.

"Oh yeah, this is gonna be awesome." Naruto said in his over the top tone as soon as he stepped out of the village entrance. I was doing my best to appear impressed and not like I'd been outside of the village before for training with Orochimaru.

"Is it your first time out of the village?" Tazuna asks his voice full of surliness. Naruto simply nods and runs ahead. After walking for some time I see a few puddles on the ground. "Weird it hasn't rained for weeks," I think as Kakashi suspiciously looks at the puddles. Out of nowhere, a shuriken is thrown and hits Kakashi. With a massive POOF it was revealed he used a substitution. I glanced around and drew a kunai out as a figure jumped out of the trees.

"SHIT, guys guard the bridge builder!" I order as I throw the kunai and rush towards the target. "Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu" I think as I form the handsigns. Using the smoke as cover, I draw one blade and slash at the place the chained together attackers last were.

"Nice try kid," a voice from behind me says as I whirl around and raise my blade to block the claw flying towards my torso. Quickly, I draw my other blade and channel my chakra into my arms to send the attacker flying. Then faster as I ever thought I could I lept after him slashing at whatever was left vulernable.

"ARIMA HELP," Sakura yells dragging me out of my blood lust fueled state. I throw all of my kunai at the shinobi who was smart enough to stay as far away as possible, unfortunately he is skilled enough to block the majority of them. Horrified, I try to make it in time before his blade falls and kills Tazuna only to stop only instantly.

"Sorry," Kakashi says as he clotheslines the other attacker, "I wanted to see how you handled yourselves.". He looks around at each of us before speaking again, "Arima you did good to order the others to protect Tazuna, however, you should have taken someone to help you knock out the man you focused on seeing as their specialty is relentless assault. Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, you guys did good at listening ordered but you crumbled apart when it came time to fighting.".

"Sensei it was my fault," I begin as Kakashi waves away my apology.

"You and I need to talk later," is all he says. I walk to the other to hear Sasuke and Naruto in a argument.

"Were you afraid, Scaredycat?" Sasuke askes teasingly before he sees me glaring at him. "Why the hell does he have to be such a jerk to Naruto, the kid never did anything to him." I think as I refocus on the conversation.

"I swear, I will never run away ever again and I won't lose to Sasuke," Naruto says before jamming an enemy kunai into his hand.

"That's nice and all but those kunai are poisoned." Kakashi says as Naruto begins to flail his everywhere. "Stop your just gonna make the poison spread faster," Kakashi says as he walks over to clean and bandage the wound.
