When morning arrived Naruto felt sick to his stomach as he remembered that today was the day that he had to take his first human life. He had not gotten any sleep the previous night and he was feeling like hell had set up camp in the middle of his stomach.
"Naruto are you ready? We are about to leave." Asked Itachi
"Uh Yeah I'm ready. I'm ready just give me a sec." Said Naruto while gathering his thoughts and courage for his first "A" class assassination mission.
Soon the 2 shinobi's were on their was to wards the west. The objective point was located in a busy town just before lightning country.
It was a 2 day travel, but when they finally reached there they were greeted by a town so busy with life that you would not have guessed people were being killed here almost everyday. Itachi want to get information to the whereabouts of the group while Naruto and Garaa looked around and assessed the town. Itachi came back with information stating that the killers were hiding in the forest south of the town. Soon our 3 heroes left for the forest not knowing what to expect from these so-called cold-blooded killers.
"hey Itachi. why does this town not hire its own hidden village ninja's?"
"Well our reports have shown that the head of this town is in it to gather with these killers. They do his dirty work for him while they can do anything they want in the town in return. So no one can hire his or her shinobi's from here as he would know and immediately cancel the mission. Plus another factor is, this bandits were once citizens of Konoha, before they were kicked out for improper conduct. Our mission is this, once we engage the group, you 2 will take them on and finish them off. Me on the other hand will execute their leader and deliver his severed head to the leader of this town as a warning to him." Garaa nodded while Naruto flinched at the thought of the severed head.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Once they reached the forest, they immediately set foot in the forest looking for their target. But they did not have to search long as multiple arrows aiming for their necks greeted them. Garaa's sand protected them from any harm as immediately they spread out waiting for their attackers to surface.. they did not have to wait long a 7 people stepped out from the trees.
"That was some jutsu you had kid. Using sand to protect yourselves from harm." Said the man who apparently shot the arrow towards them
"That was not a jutsu." Said Garaa coldly.
"Whatever you say kid, I see you three are leaf shinobi's but it won't matter anyway as your going to die now. The moment you set foot in this forest you signed your death wish." Said the man
Itachi Garaa and Naruto just laughed at the man's statement as if was the biggest joke they have ever heard.
Itachi fired up his sharingan and looked for the one with the most powerful chakra. He found it to be a average man standing at the back of the group. Itachi immediately jumped towards him while taking out a kunai from his cloak. 2 of the members of the group tried to stop Itachi but Itachi killed them without any resistance..
"He's fast" thought the leader of the group before Itachi and him jumped away taking their battle deeper into the forest. Itachi could kill him in a split second without any problems. But he was prolonging the fight so that Naruto could compete his part without any help. He wanted Naruto to grow in this fight. he wanted Naruto to become a true shinobi.
Meanwhile back at the original spot Garaa was busy fighting 2 of the group's members. He too could have killed them without any effort but he was following Itachi's advice to prolong the fight until Naruto finished his. Naruto however was having problems as the 2 people he was fighting were skilled in long ranged attacks. One was the archer while the other was a skilled needle user like Haku once was.
"Haku" Naruto said aloud Naruto had remembered what Haku had said once about protecting those precious to you. And Haku was willing to kill and be kill in order to protect Zabuza Haku's precious person. To Naruto Konoha and his friends were his most precious thing. Finally he understood that being a shinobi required sacrifices. And now he was willing to make those sacrifices.
Just as his 2 opponents launched a hail of needles and arrows towards Naruto yelled
"BLOOD WAVE!! He was soon covered with the Kyubi's red chakra. While inside the his protective barrier he got ready to use the rasengan. The moment his defensive barrier was down he created a multitude of shadow clones to keep his opponent at bay while he formed the rasengan between both of his palms. He was now great full that Itachi had taught him on how to create the rasengan with one hand. Plus he did not waste any chakra like he did before as the Kyubi taught him on how to properly channel his chakra.
"Now you will pay for killing all those people.now you will die." Naruto said with a eerie tone, as he imagined how much those children must have suffered when this assholes killed them. Naruto immediately released his shadow clones, the moment they disappeared Naruto was quick to follow by pushing his palms against the chest of his opponents. Their face cringed with pain, shock and horror and the rasengan began to take effect. First their clothes were blown away followed by the ripping of their chest muscles. Soon there was a gaping hole in their chest and the surrounding area was caught in a whirlpool of pure chakra. They were soon blown away in a bundle of meat and bones before their life finally gave up the fight to stay alive.
Naruto was shocked as he had not seen what the rasengan could truly do before. Now he understood it's power and he wanted it to be stronger. He felt sorry for his opponents for a brief moment but he soon dismissed that thought as he knew all the towns folk could sleep peacefully from now on..and it was all because of him.
Itachi and Garaa had finished their opponents and was now looking at Naruto. They were worried for him, but they were soon relieved when Naruto turned towards them and smiled saying everything was ok with him. Itachi then picked up the severed head of the group leader before he said to Garaa and Naruto to go into town and get cleaned up. He also told them that he will join them after he had made his little delivery. He then jumped away leaving Garaa and Naruto alone.
"Are you ok Naruto?" questioned Garaa
"Yeah don't worry about me. I finally understand why it means being a shinobi, and I have no regrets choosing this path. All I want now is to take a bath and get some ramen."
Garaa just smiled and led Naruto into town where they rented a room to rest while they waited for Itachi.
Naruto's first "A" class mission was a complete success but this was one the first one of many, before they return home. And Naruto was going to be the victor of all of it.
