Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be getting a timeskip for Team Seven getting their first C-Rank Mission and it is…the Wave Mission! And it's been a while since I've actually done that one, but rest assured while some things are going to be the same, there will be some differences. Also for anyone thinking Hinata is going to be redeemed and see the "fake" Naruto is the real one…yeah that's not gonna happen and you'll be seeing why here. Also there's a small lemon in the chapter, as always it's marked. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
"Is everyone in position?" Kakashi asked over the radio to see if his students were in position to capture their target.
"I'm in position, ready to move." Replied Sasuke from his place crouched on a tree branch, narrowing his eyes at where the target is.
"Same, just give the word sensei." Sakura said, hiding in the bushes, ready to make a move to grab the target.
"Copy that. Naruto, are in position? Naruto?" Said Kakashi when the Uzumaki didn't respond, making the Jōnin frown that he's late or making a move.
"I'm here and in position. But I think we need to move now, I'm seeing something else moving closer to the target. Wait…there's a wolf! The targets moving and the wolf just went after it!" Said Naruto upon seeing a wolf moving through the trees and heading straight for the target, with Kakashi's eyes widening at this.
"Everyone, move now! Get the target before that wolf does!" Ordered Kakashi, knowing if they didn't get the target now then it may be too late.
With the three Genin instantly jumping through the trees after their target before it escape or if the wolf got its claws on it. Only to stop when they heard a loud, pain-filled yowl, along with snarling and growl, and the sound of something be ripped apart. Making them run even faster, hoping they could get their in time, only to stop in a small clearing with Sakura gasping in horror. While Naruto and Sasuke frowned grimly at the blood stains which was all that was left of the wolfs prey.
"…Can of any of you please confirm the target wasn't just attacked?" Questioned Kakashi, hoping there was a chance the wolf attacked a rabbit or some other small animal.
"Negative, there's a red ribbon, the targets gone." Sasuke said, picking up a blood-stained red ribbon, seeing they failed the mission to retrieve Tora.
"Damnit. Very well, let's report back to the Hokage that it's a mission fail." Kakashi said, sighing while hoping this won't end badly for them.
*Later-Hokage's Tower*
"OH, MY PRECIOUS TORA! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING AWAY?!" Cried Madam Shijimi, horrified and heartbroken to learn what's happened to her beloved pet.
"You have our deepest sympathies Madam Shijimi, I'm sure Team Seven had did their best to rescue Tora and bring her back." Said Hiruzen while giving Kakashi a look.
Knowing they had to be careful to not make her upset, as all it'd take is for Shijimi to go straight to her husband and all of Konoha could be in trouble. With the Copy Ninja nodding in agreement, aware they had to be careful.
"Yes, we did Shijimi-sama, please forgive us for not being fast enough." Kakashi said with a deep bow, while Shijimi wiped her eyes and blew her nose.
"Yes, yes I'm sure you all tried your best, to bring me back my precious Tora. Thank you for trying, OH TORA!" Shijimi cried as she left the office, with the Sandaime and Kakashi mentally sighing in relief.
"Now then, I suppose we'll see what other missions are available. We have babysitting, helping with shopping, harvesting crops-" The Hokage said, seeing what other missions were available, much to Naruto's, Sasuke's, and Sakura's growing annoyance.
"Hokage-sama, with all due respect, we've been Genin for nearly three months now, we've already completed dozens of D-Rank Missions and our teamwork is as good as it's going to get, unless we actually start getting real experience working together. We're ready for at least a C-Rank Mission." Naruto said, doing his best to stop himself from snapping, but making it clear he's done with D-Ranks.
"He's right. At this rate, we're just going to grow stagnate, if we're going to grow any stronger then we need better missions to show what we can do and get actual experience." Added Sasuke, also tired of D-Rank Missions and desired to actually test his abilities outside the village.
"We have been training really hard, Hokage-sama, we could at least get an easy C-Rank Mission to prove we're capable of handling something more challenging." Sakura said, hiding her own annoyance and desire to get something else besides helping with chores.
Sarutobi frowned at their words before looking at Kakashi to see what he thought, if his team was ready for a C-Rank Mission. With the Copy Ninja glancing at his students for a few moments, before turning back to the Hokage and nodded.
"I believe Team Seven is ready for a C-Rank Mission, Hokage-sama." Kakashi said, believing it'll be a good learning experience, showing them just how dangerous missions outside the village can be.
"Very well then, if you truly believe they're ready, Kakashi. It just so happens we've received a C-Rank Mission that's perfect for you, an escort mission to the Land of Waves. Come back here tomorrow to meet your client." Hiruzen said, holding out the mission scroll, with Kakashi grabbing it with a nod before turning towards his students.
"I'll meet the client and bring him to the gates tomorrow, while you three will meet us there. So, make sure you're packed and ready to head out in the morning, and pack enough supplies for at least a couple days. Just in case we're gone longer than expected." Said Kakashi, the Genin nodding in response before they exited the office.
With Naruto feeling relief and excitement finally getting a chance to do a C-Rank Mission, wanting to actually see how much he's grown with his weapons and Taijutsu Style.
'Though, I'll need to make sure to tell Yakumo, Ayame, and Teuchi that I'll be out of the village for a while on a mission, so they don't get worried about where I am.' Naruto thought, wanting to make sure they know where he's going and how long he'll be gone.
He'd also tell Team Nine that he's finally getting a C-Rank Mission, but they were currently out on their own C-Rank at the moment.
But before he went to tell them, the Uzumaki quickly headed to his apartment, going straight to his bathroom where he began washing his mouth out.
'Oh Kami! Just the memory of the taste is disgusting!' Naruto thought as he began vehemently flossing, wanting to get the taste of blood, fur, and raw meat out of his mouth, along with brushing his teeth and rinsing his mouth out with mouthwash.
'Ugh, I swear, I hope I never have to do that again. But at least we'll never have to chase that damn demon cat, anymore.' Thought Naruto, relieved that they'll never have to chase after Tora again.
Having sworn that if they ever had to chase that cat again, he was going to kill it and the whiskered blonde kept good on that promise. The moment they got the mission and went to track down the cat, he'd sent a Shadow Clone that transformed into a wolf. Knowing that he couldn't actually kill it himself, but could make it look like it had been mauled, ensuring it wouldn't be traced back to him. But that didn't mean just the memory of the taste didn't disgust him.
Did Naruto feel a little bad about killing Tora? Yes, given it's understandable why it kept running away from its owner. Was he going to lose any sleep over never having to capture it again? Absolutely not!
Once he finished rinsing his mouth out, Naruto left to go visit Yakumo first, given he intended to eat a lot of ramen to completely purge the phantom taste from his mouth and mind. And after just washing his mouth, the ramen wouldn't taste as good, so he'll wait until it fades away.
*Later*
"You're really going on a C-Rank Missions?! That's amazing, I'm sure you'll do great on it!" Yakumo said, smiling happily at her friend for getting the chance to go outside the village.
"Yeah, we're supposed to meet our client tomorrow and escort them to the Land of Waves. And I'll make sure to take pictures of everything there and show you when I get back." Replied Naruto, smiling at the brunette, making Yakumo's smile widen in appreciation.
"Thank you, Naruto, I'll look forward to seeing them. But…" Said Yakumo as her smile dimmed and be replaced with a concerned expression.
"What is it?" Naruto asked seeing her expression.
"I'm just…I'm worried, you'll be out of the village and going to a different country, even if it's not that far away, a lot can still happen on the journey there and even when you do get there. So…just please be careful and come back safely." Yakumo said, worried that something might happen on the mission and didn't want to lose her first friend.
With the Uzumaki being surprised at her concern, before he smiled and grabbed her hand making Yakumo look at him.
"I promise that I will come back, I promise that I'll always come back to you, Yakumo. Besides, you've helped so much with my training that I'll definitely have no trouble, with how you've helped me with my Chakra Control as well as my ability to detect and break out of Genjutsu, if we do encounter enemy Ninja. In fact, I've already mastered Kunai Balancing along with the shuriken and senbon variations, so you have nothing to worry about me not coming back." Replied Naruto, making Yakumo blush at his praise towards her.
"I-i-it-it's n-n-n-no-no-noth-nothing, re-re-re-rea-really." Yakumo stuttered, only for Naruto to shake his head.
"It's not nothing, Yakumo. You've really helped me a lot with my training and the other areas I needed help with, something I'm really grateful for. And I'm…I'm really lucky that I got the chance to meet you at all, you're…a very special person, Yakumo." Naruto said, with the Kurama Heiresses blush intensifying, with it only growing when he pulled her into a hug.
'You're special too, Naruto, and really important to me.' Yakumo thought while returning the hug, feeling touched and happy at how much Naruto cared about her.
Eventually the two broke the hug, but before Naruto could leave, Yakumo surprised him as well as herself when she leaned in and pecked him on the lips. The whiskered blonde looking at her in shock with a light blush on his face, with the brunette blushing as well.
"I-i-it's f-fo-for l-lu-luck. Just so…you'll be extra safe and come back." Said Yakumo, not believing she actually did that, but also happy she did.
"Th-th-th-th-tha-thanks, Y-Ya-Yakumo. I should…get going…now." Replied Naruto, taking his leave in a daze at the fact she just kissed him, even if it was just a light peck.
With Yakumo being left on her own, she tenderly touched her lips, recalling the feeling of Naruto's own against hers for the brief moment. Along with the sparks that such a tiny peck had sent through her body, the Kurama Heiresses blush growing.
'Naruto was holding me so tight and I…kissed him. I kissed him…and wanted him to stay for…so much more.' Yakumo thought, not even realizing her hands trailed down her body and undoing her kimono's sash.
Slipping off her kimono, Yakumo kicked off her sandals before taking off her pants, leaving her in just her red mesh armor. Before the brunette took that off as well, leaving her in just a purple bra and matching panties, before they were removed as well.
Yakumo then looked at herself in the mirror, seeing her petite but developed figure, as despite her weak body that didn't stop her development. Already getting curves in all the right places, her breasts being a nice, perky C-cup with pink nipples, which hardened after being exposed, along with her bare snatch.
'And Naruto he…he always enjoys being close and holding me. Does he…like my body?' Yakumo thought, blushing brightly before raising a hand to her cheek, moaning softly as she moved it down her body.
*Lime*
"Naruto…" Yakumo moaned as her hands slowly and sensually trailed down her body, gasping when she reached her breasts and squeezed them gently, before she began playing them
The brunette moaned as she groped her tits, moving them around and squeezing them together, enjoying the feeling of them pressing together. Only to moan loudly when she pinched one of her nipples, hissing in pleasure as she tugged and twisted it.
"Oooh, Naruto! Keeping playing with my boobs!" Said Yakumo, moaning as she squeezed her breasts tightly before grabbing both of her nipples and twisted, loving the pleasurable stinging sensation.
Before Yakumo gasped in pleasure when she pushed her nipples into her boobs, with them popping out, with her then moving one of her hands down her body. Shivering as her fingers glided across her stomach, only to moan loud when she reached her pussy, feeling how wet she was. With the brunette moaning in ecstasy when she pushed her fingers inside, causing her to fall to her knees as she thrust her fingers into her snatch and groped her breast.
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! More Naruto, play with me, fuck me!" Yakumo moaned as she added another finger into her pussy, shoving them in as deep as she could, while pinching her nipple in between her fingers as she squeezed her breast
The brunette panted lustfully as she imagined it was Naruto groping her boob and fucking her pussy with her his fingers. Yakumo's tongue hung out of her mouth, before moaned loudly in pleasure and arched forward, imagining Naruto kissing her deeply and shoving his fingers deep into her cunt. Leading to the Kurama Heiress cumming all over her hand and the floor.
With Yakumo nearly falling over from her orgasm, but managed to catch herself before pulling herself up onto her chair. Moaning as she spread her legs open, while switching her hands around, with her juice-covered hand playing with her tits, covering them in her orgasm as her other hand began teasing her snatch.
"Mmmm, more…please give me more, Naruto." Said Yakumo, pushing two fingers into her pussy, only to spot her paint brushes, making her grin lustfully as she pulled her fingers out.
Before she reached over and grabbed one of the bigger brushes, Yakumo moaned as she began sucking on the tip of the brush as a makeshift dildo. While her other hand went back down to her cunt, vigorously rubbing it and spreading her labia open.
'Naruto…you're so big…' Yakumo thought, moaning as she sucked and licked the tip of the brush, pulling it out of her mouth and licked it from the bottom all the way to the top before she started sucking on it again.
While her other hand, the Kurama Heiress pushed her fingers back into her cunt, panting eagerly around the brush as she wiggled her fingers around and rubbed against her inner walls. Only to stop once she felt herself getting close to another orgasm.
"I want you inside me." Yakumo muttered, pulling the brush out of her mouth before dragging it down her body, moaning as it flicked her nipple and continued down towards her snatch.
Pulling her fingers out of her snatch once the brush reached it, Yakumo screamed in ecstasy when she shoved the brush inside her pussy.
"Yes! Yes Naruto, fuck me, claim me, make me yours!" Yakumo moaned as she began thrusting the brush in and out of her pussy, imagining it was Naruto fucking her and slamming his dick into her.
Moaning loudly as she thrust the brush into her cunt while her other hand went back to groping and squeezing her breasts. Until Yakumo brought her hand up to her mouth and began sucking on her fingers, moaning in pleasure at the taste of her juices. Though once she licked off the last of her juices, Yakumo panted lustfully, eager at feeling her orgasm coming before grabbing the brush with both her hands.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, YES! NARUTO!" Said Yakumo, moaning in pure ecstasy as she shoved the brush deep into her snatch, her juices squirting out over the brush and her hands.
The brunette moaned as she slumped forward in chair, her legs spread out at her sides to keep her from falling out, while her arms hung limply at her side. With Yakumo moaning again as the brush slid out of her dripping snatch and onto the floor before slumping back in her chair, looking up at the ceiling. Smiling in a daze, the Kurama Heiress glided two fingers along her labia, while pressing and rubbing a finger against her clit.
"Naruto…I love you." Yakumo said as she closed her eyes, jabbing a finger into her pussy just before she passed out, with it pressing right against her G-Spot.
Making the brunette moan unconsciously as she orgasmed one last time.
*End Lime*
*With Naruto*
Meanwhile, Naruto had went to Ramen Ichiraku, telling Ayame and Teuchi about his team going out on a C-Rank Mission tomorrow. With the father and daughter congratulating him, before giving Naruto a bowl of ramen on the house. Only for the Uzumaki to only poke at the ramen, having not even taken a bite yet, still in a daze and blushing from Yakumo's kiss. Along with the emotions and feelings he was now starting to feel after it.
"Is everything alright, Naruto?" Teuchi asked, seeing the expression on the whiskered blondes face and wondered if something is wrong.
"Did something happen? Are you nervous about your mission tomorrow?" Questioned Ayame, snapping Naruto out of his daze as he looked at them.
"What? No, no, I'm not nervous about my mission. It's just…I've been feeling…different recently." Naruto replied, unsure about the emotions and feelings he's started feeling for Yakumo.
"Different how?" Teuchi said.
"I've been…having these emotions and feelings recently…towards someone. I don't really know what they are, but…I guess they…feel good when I'm around them. Like…I like it when they're happy since it makes me happy and…they've really helped me a lot after…what happened. And now I'm thinking…that I really like being close to them and…I want to make them happy. Does that make sense?" Naruto asked while looking at them, though he made sure to keep things vague since he didn't want to reveal anything about Yakumo, given he isn't supposed to be visiting her.
While Ayame and Teuchi looked at him in surprise, before they smiled at what he's feeling.
"Well, I think it's pretty obvious. You're in love, kid." Teuchi stated, making the Uzumaki's eyes widen.
"What?" Said Naruto, not sure he heard that right.
"You're in love, Naruto! If this person is some you like being around and close to, if you like seeing them happy and want to make them happy, then you love them. And not like you love ramen or a family member, but you genuinely and romantically love them as a partner you want to be with." Said Ayame, happy for her little brother-figure to have found someone to love, while Naruto looked at them in shock.
"Love." Naruto muttered, wondering if that's really what he felt for Yakumo.
It didn't feel like the crush he had on Sakura, believing he loved her. With Yakumo it felt so much…more than that, as he didn't want to just constantly ask her out. Naruto was happy just sitting in silence with Yakumo, enjoying that they were together. He looked forward to every time he visited her, telling her about his day and his training, and listening to everything she says. And his promise to get her out of that manor and take her anywhere she wanted to go. Remembering how she smiled and blushed when he said that, and all the times they hugged, cuddled, and held hands.
Then just earlier with how she kissed him, part of him had desired to not leave and stay with her, to see what else would happen.
"Love." Naruto stated, with a small smile, thinking they were right and he did love Yakumo.
Though unknown to the three of them, they were being spied on by Hinata, with the Hyūga having overheard the conversation and was glaring at the "fake".
'Love?! You don't anything about love nor deserve after what you did! My love for Naruto-kun is pure and unconditional! And you think you deserve love while wearing his face?!' Hinata thought, angered at how the fake insulted her feelings for the "real" Naruto and now believed he knew anything about love or deserved it, after everything he's done.
It made the bluenette desire to hurt the fake and now she had the perfect opportunity, by taking away whoever he's in love with. She just needed to figure out who, which should be easy as there were a limited amount of girls the fake has interacted with.
She knew it wasn't Sakura, as from what she's seen the fake has been interacting with her on a purely professional level. It also couldn't be Tenten either, having spied on his training sessions with Team Nine. And from what Hinata's saw their interactions were just a Senpai mentoring her Kohai, nothing romantic or anything to say it was anything but that.
'So that'd just leave…' Thought Hinata, turning her attention towards Ayame, the only girl she's seen the fake interact with on a friendly level regularly, before she gained a dark and malicious smirk, coming to a conclusion on who the fake was in love with.
And with him being out of the village on a C-Rank Mission soon, from the other part of the conversation she overheard, she'd have her window of opportunity.
'You took my Naruto-kun away from me, fake! Now you'll know what it's like to lose someone you love.' Hinata thought wickedly, eager for the chance to have the fake feel the same pain she did.
*Timeskip-One Day*
The next day, Naruto had packed up everything he'd need for the mission before heading to the gates, seeing Sasuke and Sakura had already arrived.
"So, how long do you think Kakashi-sensei will keep us waiting this time?" Naruto asked, not doubting the Jōnin will show up on time.
"Now that's just hurtful, Naruto. I can show up on time, sometimes." Said Kakashi while walking up to his students, much to their surprise and disbelief.
"You're…you're actually here…on time?!" Said Sakura, wondering if this was a trick he's pulling.
"Yes, I do actually show up on time when I need to, and no it's not a Genjutsu." Kakashi said with a sweatdrop, upon seeing that Sasuke even activated his Sharingan to see if they've been placed under a Genjutsu.
"Anyway, this is our client Tazuna, a bridge builder from the Land of Waves." Said Kakashi, motioning to an old man that had been following him.
With the Genin seeing that he was a grey-haired, bespectacled man with tanned skin, a beard, and dark eyes. He wore a sleeveless v-neck black shirt with a purple obi, brown pants and sandals. He also carried a towel around his neck and wore a conical straw hat on his head. With him also carrying a bottle of sake and looked to be getting drunk.
"What is this? I asked for a team of Ninja and instead I get a team of brats. They look like they'd run at the first sign of trouble, especially that short one with the blonde hair. I doubt he can fight his way out of a wet paper bag." Said Tazuna, not believing his safety is being entrusted to three children, much to the annoyance of the Genin, especially Naruto.
"Well at least I know how dumb it is to piss off the people you're paying to watch your back and keep you alive. After all, it's a long trip to the Land of Waves, who knows what could happen on the way there." Naruto retorted while narrowing his eyes at the bridge builder, making the man pale a little and gulp at the insinuation.
"Naruto! You can't just threaten clients like that!" Said Sakura, scolding the Uzumaki, with Tazuna sighing in relief that the other two won't try and threaten him only to stiffen again when the Uchiha spoke.
"She's right. You need to wait until after the mission's completed, then you can do whatever you want." Sasuke stated, with Tazuna only growing more nervous when the pinkette nodded in agreement as all three of them narrowed their eyes at him.
"Well I have to say that must be a record for a client, Tazuna. We haven't even left the village yet and you've already pissed off 75% of your bodyguards." Kakashi said jokingly with an eye-smile, while patting the bridge builder on the back.
"But if you want my advice, lay off the sake for the time being." Added Kakashi, with Tazuna nodding shakily and dumped it out.
"Y-yeah, good idea." Tazuna said, not wanting to say anything else that'll piss of the people who're supposed to protect him.
"Good. Now let's move out, team!" Kakashi said as Team Seven and Tazuna exited the village and began the trip towards the Land of Waves.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see Team Seven doing the Tora Mission again, only for it to go horribly wrong(?) when a wolf mauls Tora and kills it, with it later being revealed it was a transformed Shadow Clone Naruto sent after Tora, ensuring they never have to do the mission again. Before the Genin pressure the Hokage to finally give them a C-Rank Mission, with Kakashi agreeing seeing it as a learning experience. Before they're dismissed to meet up at the gates tomorrow, with Naruto planning to tell Yakumo, Ayame, and Teuchi about the mission, but first goes to wash out the phantom taste of Tora in his mouth.
Then we see Naruto visiting Yakumo and telling her about his mission, with the Kurama Heiress being happy for her friend getting the chance to go out of the village, but is worried something could go wrong and has him promise to come back, with Naruto doing so. While also showing how close they've grown with Yakumo even giving him a light peck on the lips for luck, shocking both of them. Though when Naruto leaves, Yakumo starts realizing how much she cares about Naruto, imagining them having sex as she masturbates, and admitting she loves him.
While we also see Naruto at Ichiraku's and coming to his own realization that he loves Yakumo after telling Ayame and Teuchi about the emotions and feelings he's been having when around her, keeping it vague to avoid revealing he's been visiting Yakumo, with them telling him he's in love. With none of them realizing they're being spied on by Hinata, who's angry at how the "fake" insulted her feelings for the "real" Naruto and now is in love with someone. Desiring to hurt him for taking Naruto away from her and wonders who he's in love with, believing he's in love with Ayame, showing Hinata's starting to go full Yandere on wanting to hurt and get rid of the "fake" for taking Naruto.
Finally we see Team Seven meeting up at the gates, with Kakashi actually arriving on time and introducing Tazuna, who insults the Genin much to their annoyance. Only to learn it's not a good idea to insult the people he's paying to keep him alive, before they head out for the Land of Waves. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
Storm out
