Spirit of the Fox

"Naruto!!! Get down from there!" A blonde haired boy looked down from his seat on a swing hanging from a cliffside. "Holy shit! It's Sakura! With Kakashi! I'm so dead!" Down below stood a grl with pink hair. She was dressed in black capri pants with a long shirt that hung down to her ankles. Her hair was pulled back with a navy blue headband with the village symbol on it, called a hitai-ate. She aslo had the needed Shinobi ninja equipment: a makimomo pouch, a shuriken holster, and kunai leg holster.

"Naruto! Get your ass down here!" Kakashi ordered. "This instant!" The man was dressed in black pants, a long-sleeved black shirt, a vest, along with the Shinobi equipment. Naruto made a whining sound. He quickly put up his spray pains and other tools used for graffiti.

The 'Naruto' boy was dressed in all orange with blue trimming, the hitai-ate headband too. He had three whisker-like lines across each cheek and a head of spiky hair. His eyes were a navy blue but usually closed into slits. With much practice from the past he pulled himself down and jumped to the ground. "Heh... heh...?" he said.

"Naruto!! You stupid idiot! Just look what you did to the mountain! I can't believe you!" the Sakura girl yelled. Naruto glanced over hi shoulder to examine his 'masterpiece' of graffiti. Spirals, a bull's eye, 'idiot', 'stupid', and other rude remarks were painted onto the mountain for all to see. Also a hideous portrait of a boy with black spiky hair, a non-social smirk, irritated eyes, and a clam expression was painted. A large 'X' was marked over the face and harsh comments were pointed to the face. 'Jackass' was the most detailed.

"Nice huh?" Naruto asked. Sakura clenched her fist and bopped Naruto a good one, she sent him sprawling into the mountainside. "You dumbass! Just look at what you've done! you're so immature." Sakura huffed and walked off. "Come on," Kakashi said. He picked Naruto up and carried him towards the village.

"Again!? How many times are you going to pull these stupid stunts?" Naruto stared at the wall. "Are you even listening?" Naruto didn't reply. 'Nope, not to a single word.' Naruto thought. "Get out of my sight!" Naruto ran at his chance of escape. "Stupid people, always giving me a hard time." Naruto sighed. "Naruto, why do you paint on the mountain when you know you'll just have to wash it off?" Naruto scoffed. "Stay out of it, Sasuke. I don't need you on my case." He glared at Sasuke, the boy whom he had 'X'ed out on the mountain. "Still, if you're going to--" Sasuke began. "Shove it!" Naruto interrupted and stomped off. Sasuke sighed.

"Maybe you could put him and his group on another mission. Just something to keep them out of the village, would you mind, Kakashi?" Kakashi shook his head. "Actually I think it would be good for them. They haven't had a mission in a while."

"Then it's settled. What kind of task doyou plan on taking them on?" Kakashi thought, then shrugged. "How about we go look in the 'D' request files." Kakashi shook his head. "That won't work. Remember last time? It won't work. Even if they did cooperate they would finish and expect to come back soon, in only a matter of days." They sighed. "Ooooh boy..."

"Iruka-sensai! Iruka-sensai! We have urgent news. Let us in." A messenger boy tried to squeeze himself in between two men to get inside of the room Kakashi was in, along with Iruka and Hokage. "Let him in!" Iruka ordered. The boy nearly fell to the floor but managed to regain his posture. He handed a packet of papers to Iruka. "A small village has requested a favor." gasped the messenger between his pants.

"What ranking is it?" Iruka asked. "I believe a C, or a B. They refused to tell me much but requested that you have this act brought out quickly." Iruka nodded then dismissed the boy. "Kakashi?" The elite ninja nodded.

"So what's the new mission about?" Sakura asked. "Some kind of evacuation prosses, getting rid of a nuisance of a village. That's all I know." Sasuke said. Naruto sighed and let his body drop to the ground. "Why does he always have to be so damn late?" he asked.

"Sorry for the wait." They looked up to see Kakashi walking over to them. "It's about time!" Naruto shouted. "So tell us, what is this mission about?" Sakura asked, after whackin gNaruto upside the head. He held his head and glared at Sakura with narrowed eyes.
