Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just this story

The group arrived at Tazuna's house an hour later,. just before Tazuna can open the door it's opened for him by a female with long black hair wearing a pink blouse, as soon as the women sees Tazuna she hugs him "Father, I'm glad you're OK, I was so worried, I'm glad your back and safe."

She then sees the others and smiles at them and pulls away from her father "Hello everyone my name is Tsunami, Tazuna's daughter, you must be the help my father went for, and I thank you for bringing him back alive thank you for that."

Kakashi being the leader of the actual mission with Anko being backup steps forward "You would be correct ma'am, we are here to assist your father as he builds the bridge, my name is Kakashi Hatake, I'm a Jōnin, this is my team the girl on the left is Sakura Haruno, on my shoulders is Sasuke Uchiha, he's such a charming young man.

Behind Kakashi Naruto and Anko just scoff both thinking the same thing 'On what universe.'

Whilst Anko and Naruto are rolling their eyes at Kakashi's bullshit Kakashi continues, the other two are Tokubetsu Jōnin Anko Mitarashi and Naruto Uzumaki."

All of them just nod or say hello all except Sasuke of course who's kind of unconscious. Tsunami then looks at Kakashi "Is he OK."

Kakashi chuckles "Oh, he's just fine, is there a room I can put him in until he wakes up 'Wow, Naruto really hit him hard didn't he just how powerful is he.'

Tsunami just nods "Yes of course upstairs last room on the left is free he'll be staying in that room anyway."

Kakashi just nods and quickly heads upstairs with Sasuke he isn't gone long and quickly makes his way downstairs "OK, let's go and train" He turns to Tsunami "If Sasuke wakes up tell him to join us."

They all head outside and Kakashi turns to Sakura "OK Sakura, I will show you a Chakra exercise it's called Tree Climbing but before you moan and say you can already do that this is different you only use your feet not your hands."

Sakura looks at Kakashi like he's insane "How is that even possible Sensei, you're pulling my leg."

He just chuckles and looks at Naruto "Maybe you want to do this exercise also."

Naruto and Anko share a look and both smirk and Naruto shrugs and just walks up to the tree and walks up the tree like he's walking on the ground.

Sakura looks on in amazement while Kakashi looks at Anko who smirks then back at Naruto 'Show Off.'

Anko looks at Kakashi and laughs "Way to go Naruto."

Kakashi sighs and looks at her "You knew didn't you."

She just shrugs at him "Maybe."

Naruto then does a backflip and lands on the ground and Sakura smiles at him "That was awesome Naruto."

He just smiles at her "Thanks Sakura, it was nothing." He then turns to Kakashi "I already know all the Chakra exercises; I actually learned them all when I was six."

Kakashi sighs "So why did you do it then."

Naruto just shrugs "To show Sakura and also well you just assumed that I hadn't learned it but all you had to do was ask."

Kakashi nods 'He's skilled already; I'll have to test him out sometime' "OK then my mistake, I jumped to conclusions it won't happen again, normally Genin, don't learn these until well until they become Genin, but you learned them earlier, well why don't you tell Sakura what you did exactly."

He just nods and turns to Sakura and tells her what to do, she listens to him carefully as she's impressed with Naruto he then passes her a Kunai, "Here use this to mark your place on the tree 'Although I feel you may get this quickly, although that's just a hunch.'

She takes the Kunai and approaches the tree before she starts she pours Chakra into her feet and then places her foot on the tree then just like Naruto did she climbs the tree she smiles 'Being booksmart comes in handy plus you have to use the right amount of Chakra I'm guessing.'

Kakashi looks at her in surprise 'OK, they both did it so effortlessly, Naruto well he's had years to perfect it learning it so young is amazing but Sakura for her first attempt I'm impressed.'

Sakura sits on a branch nearly at the top of the tree and looks down at everyone "Look Naruto, I did it."

Naruto smiles and gives her a thumb up then Kakashi nods "OK you can come down now."

She quickly nods and makes her way down all proud of herself at first she's slightly depressed that Sasuke's not here to see this but then the memory of what he did enters her head and she just shrugs it off she's happy she's learned something and she's happy that Naruto showed her what to do but it's also weird 'Why do I care what Naruto thinks, I've only just met him so why do I care what he thinks about it.'

Her Inner self laughs Because Naruto-Kun, is awesome, plus he's cute and he pays attention to us not like Sasuke who just Hn's I mean how lame is that is that all he says Hn, how lame.

Sakura just inwardly nods "He is pretty cute I like his blue eyes and he's strong he effortlessly beat that clone whereas Sasuke couldn't and he taught me this"

Her Inner self nods Cha, I forgot about that yea he has beautiful eyes and he saved us.

Just then she reaches the ground and stops next to Naruto "Thanks Naruto, I did it, you helped me a lot, thanks Naruto-Kun."

Naruto raises an eyebrow at the Kun, but shrugs that off and smirks "You kind of already said that, and from what Ringo-Sensei told me I have an idea as to why you did it so effortlessly she said Kunoichi's usually have less Chakra then Ninja's but better Chakra Control, but it's not always the case."

Kakashi nods "That's pretty much true Naruto" He then turns to Sakura "Have you ever thought about becoming a Medic-Nin."

She looks at Kakashi in shock "A medic-nin, I've never thought much about it why you think I could become one Kakashi-Sensei."

He shrugs "Anything is possible, OK back to training, how about a friendly spar between you and Naruto" He looks at Anko "If that's OK with you."

She smirks 'Well technically I'm not his Sensei, we just do missions together he's kind of on the reserves but he's too good for them really, I guess he could become my student.' "Yeah, that would be fine although he'd have to hold back a considerable amount; he's fought in the Kiri civil war after all, went up against Chunin and Jōnin."

Kakashi and Sakura look at Naruto and Anko in shock before Kakashi speaks "Exactly how powerful is Naruto in your opinion."

She smirks "Well from what Naruto told me and by sparing with him his Taijutsu is High Chunin too low Jōnin, he was trained by Ameyuri Ringo one of the Seven Swordsman of The Mist remember."

Kakashi nods remembering her saying that earlier "Yes, I remember now, still I'd like to see what he can do, just don't go overboard Naruto."

Naruto just nods "I won't" He turns to Sakura "You ready Sakura, Show me what you got, go all out OK."

She nods uncertain about this from what she just heard he's more powerful than her maybe even Sasuke "I'll do my best."

Naruto nods "That's all I ask."

For the next 30 minutes Anko and Kakashi watch Sakura try to fight Naruto and completely tire herself out in the process whereas Naruto seems just fine, Naruto blocked every attack Sakura made then when he noticed how tired she was he went on the attack and hit her with a six hit combo that knocked her on her backside.

Naruto knowing the fight's over reaches a hand out for Sakura who takes his hand and he pulls her up. Naruto was kind of disappointed in that style it was so full of holes he could have won within five seconds if he wanted to plus he knows she would have died easily if she would have participated in the Civil War not that he'd tell her that.

For Sakura she knew from the very start that Naruto had her beat and knows that he could have taken her out anytime he wanted to, it kind of annoyed her but she wanted to keep going not really sure why but she did, she knows she only knows the academy style and it's not really that good it does always make her sad that she's not from a clan that has their own style.

Anko then sighs "No offence Sakura, but what the fuck was that, there was more holes in that style then ever he had you beat from the start he won't say anything but I will, you will get nowhere if that's all you know, you'll just die or have to rely on your teammates all the time sorry if that's harsh but being a Kunoichi is a hard life."

She then turns to Kakashi "What the hell Cyclops what have you taught her, don't tell me that Tree Climbing was the first thing you taught her after nearly a month with your new squad."

Sakura knows it was harsh and lowers her head in shame until she feels a hand on her shoulder and looks up and sees Naruto and his beautiful blue eyes staring at her "Don't worry about it Sakura, you just need a better style, don't you have a Clan or something."

She shakes her head "I'm not from a Clan, so no my family are civilians so they don't have their own style."

He just nods "Well, I have two styles one is my Clan style and the other was the one I just used, but it all depends if it suits you or not."

She looks up hopefully "You'd do that for me but why, you don't owe me anything, and we aren't even on the same team."

He just smiles at her "Doesn't really bother me that style you have now is just a Basic style and won't do you very well in the outside, fighting against tougher opponents well let's just say they'd beat you quite easily no offence, then maybe worse things."

She looks at everyone who pretty much nod at her knowing what Naruto said is right she nods also knowing it Naruto toyed with her she knows it and knows what he says is right he fought in a war so he'd probably know what happens.

Anko puts her hand on Sakura's shoulder "Naruto's right Sakura, from watching that Spar you wouldn't be much help you need help and a new style if you want to survive in this world, I'd take Naruto up on his offer and if the style doesn't suit you myself of Cyclops-Baka could maybe find a style for you he is your Sensei after all and should have done that already."

Kakashi sighs knowing she's right he should have done something for her "I could find you a style but see if Naruto's style works first."

Just then Tazuna walks up to them "I'm heading into the village for supplies."

Kakashi nods "Go with him Sakura."

Anko nods "You to Naruto, can be some bonding moments."

Naruto looks at her with a raised eyebrow then he remembers his side mission so just nods "Sure why not."

Tazuna nods and Sakura smiles again she's not sure why and the three of them head off into the village. Both Naruto and Sakura see the state of the village and are disgusted well Naruto's seen villages like this in Kiri during the civil war but it still makes him mad.

He doesn't realize but he'd actually stopped leaving Tazuna and Sakura to go on ahead neither noticed he'd stopped.

When there far enough away he summons 10 shadow clones "OK Henge as civilians and scatter find out all you can about Gato and what's going on here, check this village, find out the local gossip, check out the docks, if they have a warehouse let me know go in groups of two if you find anything of importance then one of the two dispel now go.

The clones all quickly Henge into normal civilians and then scatter and Naruto walks off to catch up with Sakura and Tazuna. He sees a little girl grab Sakura's behind and smirks 'Gutsy girl.' He then sees Sakura almost punch the girl but then stop when she realizes it's just a starving little girl she then pulls out some bread and passes it to the girl who smiles and runs off. Naruto smiles 'That was nice of you Sakura.'

He creates another clone and opens up a scroll and pulls out some cheese and some ham he then passes the items to the clone "Give it to the girl."

The clone nods and walks up to the girl and Naruto watches the clone get on one knee and passes the Cheese and Ham to the surprised girl who smiles probably for the second time in a long time then she starts crying and hugs the clone.

Whilst Naruto watches this Sakura who witnessed that selfless act approaches him "That was nice of you Naruto."

He nods "I could say the same about you giving her the bread now she won't be as hungry that Cheese and Ham with the bread will be more filling and she won't be hungry for a short while."

Sakura smiles "You seem to be good with kids."

He just nods "True, it's because I'm an orphan, I know how hard it is in this world to survive, especially in this village."

Sakura looks at Naruto in shock "I'm sorry Naruto-Kun."

Naruto looks at her 'Again with the Kun, what's the deal, although she is pretty cute herself.' He nods "Don't worry about it, come on let's get back to Tazuna, were supposed to be his bodyguards right."

They head back to Tazuna and for another 10 minutes they look around there really wasn't much food Gato seems to be taxing them to much it both made Naruto and Sakura mad, and Naruto was going to do something about it whatever happens by the end of this mission Gato will be dead and the village will return to normal.

When they get back Naruto approaches Anko while Sakura follows Tazuna into the house. Anko looks around but Kakashi's not around he must have gone inside she then turns back to Naruto "So what did you find out."

He sighs "Well I sent off 10 clones to look around and find out whatever they can they will dispel if they find anything of importance, Gato has turned this village into a ghost town pretty much so much misery, he's really sucking the life out of the village."

Just the Kakashi coughs "I'm guessing you have a side mission from what you just told Anko so care to tell me."

Anko sighs "I thought you left" She just shrugs when Kakashi remains silent so being the Jōnin she tells Kakashi everything.

It doesn't take long but he mentally sighs "So your only to deal with this Gato if it doesn't affect helping us and now with a man down it would be a problem, It would have been better to know all about Gato from the start but he told us everything after the Demon Brothers attacked still my third student would still be with us if I knew."

As Kakashi's talking Naruto gets some memories from his clone and Kakashi notices as he knows about the special ability of the Shadow Clones one must have dispelled. "Memories I take it anything important."

Naruto nods "Yea, quite a lot of information overall but I'll tell you about the warehouse first it's full of supplies, boxes of food, medical supplies, money, drugs and lastly weapons, some of the clones are following some thugs back to Gato I think."

Anko nods "Then we have to deal with that warehouse the food and medical supplies are needed for the village, as for the drugs and weapons they should be seized or destroyed what do you think Kakashi."

Naruto looks at Kakashi "No offence Kakashi but this is kind of our mission you should stay with your team."

Kakashi smiles "Actually Naruto I outrank you and am more experienced with this type of thing I was an ANBU once Naruto Inu if you remember me when Naruto nods he continues, So I'd like to help I can have a clone remain to keep up appearances, what Gato is doing doesn't sit well with me I suggest dealing with this tonight."

Anko nods "Yea I agree with Kakashi Naruto he would be invaluable to what happens."

They all agree to it and head inside they see Sasuke is awake and he glares at Naruto who just gives him the finger. Sakura's already sat down at the table waiting for the food to arrive.

Tsunami then arrives and places a big bowl of stew in the middle of the table along with some bread rolls. Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi and the others quickly get stuck in but Anko and Naruto just remain standing.

Tsunami then looks up "Are you two not hungry you're not joining us."

Anko shakes her head "We have our own food, food is already scarce in this village and we won't add to your shortage, so don't worry about us same for sleeping arrangements we will be setting up camp outside were both used to it anyways."

Tsunami is shocked "No that's nonsense there is more than enough sit down and tuck in I won't take no for an answer."

Both Naruto and Anko just shrug and sit down Naruto next to Sakura and Tsunami and Anko next to Kakashi and emo Duck Butt and they all start eating away. Naruto smiles enjoying the food he compliments Tsunami then continues eating and talking with both Sakura and Tsunami.

After they've all eaten Kakashi explains what will be happening with regard to guarding Tazuna then after that they all head upstairs to bed. While Naruto and Anko wait outside, Naruto and Anko makes a few clones each to set up camp and then tell all but one of each clone to dispel to keep up appearances that there still there.

The original Naruto and Anko eat some Dango whilst waiting for Kakashi to arrive and they don't have to wait long. When he arrives Kakashi looks at Anko and Naruto "So what are the rules of engagement this is you mission after all I'm just here for support there just thugs right."

Naruto looks at Kakashi "If they were just normal thugs I'd say knock them out but these don't deserve to live, from what my memories of the clones tells me is that most of the thugs are murderers, rapists, paedophiles, and much worse."

"There are whorehouses in the village but there just kidnapped women guarded by more thugs we'll deal with them another time the Warehouse is the most important objective. The village is a ghost town at night and most of the day really the villagers live in fear of losing their family to these thugs."

Anko growls "Oh they're all dead now; I'm going to enjoy this."

Naruto and Kakashi both nod Kakashi nods "So they all die fine with me let's' go."

They remain silent all the way until they reach the village in case there heard. It doesn't take long for Naruto to lead Anko and Kakashi to the warehouse, Kakashi tells Naruto and Anko to take to the roof while he deals with the thugs at the doors. Naruto and Anko both nod and jump onto the roof.

Kakashi quickly deals with the two thugs with Kunai to their heads he looks around and spots nobody so he takes them away from the front of the warehouse in case he's seen then uses a Katon jutsu to dispose of the two bodies, He creates two clones and uses a Henge on them to look like the thugs before he joins Naruto and Anko on the roof.

Naruto saw the quick work and nodded at first they watch through the roof window, there aren't many thugs and it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Kakashi then slowly opens up the window before tossing a smoke grenade into the warehouse before dropping down along with Anko and Naruto to kill the thugs.

It was quick work for the three deadly Ninja's there all experienced enough and the thugs were weaklings beaten pretty much the moment the Smoke grenade went off. When that's all dealt with they all seal up the boxes of food and medical supplies and the money before taking them out they find an abandoned house and place everything inside. Kakashi placed a Genjutsu on the house then they burn down the warehouse.

When that's done they all head back home Kakashi into the house and Naruto and Anko to the camp they then quickly fall asleep knowing what they did was deserved.
