Me: Next Chapter Enjoy They all past the beggining exam.

Chapter 2: 1st couple of Missions

Alright for your first mission I need you to walk my dogs." said Kakashi. "That sounds more like a chore than a mission." said Naruto " Don't think of it as a chore think of it as a way to increase your stamina and intelligence."

"What bull." thought Ryu.

"Well off you go. Meet me back in front of your apartment building when your done."

The students lived in the same apartment building but on different floors.

Each genin grabbed a dog and started walking. After they walked farther away from Kakashi, Naruto said," Well this is stupid. All were gonna do now is just walk these stupid dogs."

"Wait," said Sakura," How long are we supposed to walk them?"

She turned around and yelled at Kakashi, "Kakashi sensei? How long do you want us to walk the dogs?"

"Hmmmm?" thought Kakashi, " I think 10 miles would be good. Make sure you walk all the way."

Sakura was shocked at his answer, but she sighed and continued walking.

"10 miles are you serious?" asked Naruto, "And we have to WALK?"

"Just quit complaining and come on." said Sakura " Walking 10 miles might increase our stamina and strength."

The four of them started walking. Naruto was pouting because he was mad about walking ten miles. Sakura wouldn't stop thinking about Sasuke while she was walking. Sasuke was in deep thought as usual except he was frowning. Ryu was in deep thought as well except she looked sad.

"Hey Ryu," said Naruto, " Why are you so sad?"

"I'm not sad I was just thinking! Mind your own business you loser!" yelled Ryu.

"Sorry! I was just tying to be nice!"

Ryu went back to thinking while walking the dog. "So Sakura how are you doing?" said Naruto trying to start a conversation with his crush.

Sakura just ignored him and kept staring at Sasuke. Naruto got mad and yelled" SAKURA!" Sakura turned in fury being annoyed with the unnecessary yelling. "What do ya want!"

"I was just wondering how you were doing." said Naruto. "Hey do think that maybe after our missions we go out for lunch to get Ramen."

Sakura had a look of disgust on her face. "Eww go out with Naruto? Not in a million years!" she thought. "Uhhh geee, uhhh, NO!" she said and went back to staring at Sasuke.

"Man I don't think she will ever like me especially when Sasuke is around. Who does he think he is? He thinks he is sooo cool. It's not like he's done anything so great for Sakura. Come to think of it neither have I." thought Naruto.

"Sakura?" said Sasuke in an annoyed voice. Sakura, flattered to hear Sasuke say her name, said with a glad voice," Yes, Sasuke?" Her eyes gleaming with joy.

"Please tell me he's gonna ask me out. Oh please please PLEASE!"

"Could you quit staring at me. You're getting annoying. Again." said Sasuke.

"Again, when was I ever annoying to him? How long was I annoying him." thought Sakura.

"Uh, sorry." Sakura said in a sad voice.

" I don't mind if you stare at me Sakura." Naruto said with a smile.

"Give it a rest Naruto!" said Sakura.

Sasuke kept walking and said, "Your such a loser Naruto. You are way too annoying."

Naruto was shocked and angry. He then responded, "You shut up. I'm not the loser here!"

"Yes you are." said Sasuke

"No I'm not!" said Naruto

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not!."

"Well you are annoying thats for sure."

"Not as annoying as you!"

"Naruto, how am I annoying."

"Naruto! Sasuke is not annoying! He's calm and quiet." said Sakura

"But Sakura, thats what makes him annoying!"

Sakura got angered by this and slapped Naruto on the backside of his head. "Don't talk about Sasuke like that!"

"Ow! Why not? It's not like there's anything special about him!"

Ryu became very annoyed with the conversation but decided to ignore them.

"Well If maybe you respected him more he may not be so annoying to you." responded Sakura.

"I'll respect him when I'm dead!" responded Naruto

Sakura once again got mad and slapped upside the head.

"Ow! Will you quit doing that?" asked Naruto

"Only if you apologize to Sa-"

"Will you to shut the hell up!" said Ryu," Naruto is annoying, Sakura is annoying, and Sasuke annoying. You're all annoying! Now shut up!

Naruto and Sakura frowned at Ryu and just continued walking.

Later they all got back Naruto and Sakura were exhausted and tired. So were Sasuke and Ryu. They just didn't show it.

"Alright your back. Good now we have four missions done." said Kakashi

"Wait all we did was walk the dogs, shouldn't that count for 1 mission?" asked Sakura. "Well I told you guys to walk the dogs but each dog counts as 1 mission so you guys did 4 missions." said Kakashi.

"Oh I see." said Sakura

Then Naruto popped up and asked" What's are next mission?"

Kakashi responded "Hmmmm, let's see here." He got a clip board and looked through the paper. "Um yard work. All we need are 5 missions for today. Why don't we go to Mrs. Arimuri's to help her with her rock garden?"

Naruto frowned and said," Why can't we do any of the cool stuff like fight assassins and protect people?"

Kakashi responded "Because your not ready yet. You can't rush these things Naruto."

"Whatever." said Naruto with a frown.

"My mom has a Rock Garden. This should be easy." said Sakura.

When they got there Mrs. Arimuri had the biggest back yard. "I need you guys to place these big rocks in the right place. If you mess up I'm gonna send a bad report to the Hokage! Have fun!"

"Have fun my ass! Stupid bitch!" thought Ryu

"How is putting a bunch of big rocks on top of little ones gonna help us with becoming better ninja!" thought Naruto

"Well this shouldn't be to bad. It's just rocks." thought Sakura. She turned around and saw that they were more than rocks, they were boulders. "Ah! They're bigger than I thought!"

Naruto, being the arrogant one decided to try this all by himself by trying to lift the boulder, but of course it didn't budge.

"How are we supposed to do this? The boulders are 10 times bigger than us!" said Sakura.

"Well grasshoppers could lift anything 10 times they're weight. So can we!Believe it! Besides there are only 4 boulders." said Naruto while he was struggling with the boulder.

"Those are ants you moron." said Sasuke. Then he turned around and saw Ryu lifting the rock by using her chakra. She lifted it and gently put it down.

"Wow that uses a lot of chakra." thought Ryu.

Naruto came up to Ryu and couldn't believe what he saw.

"How did you do that without doing a jutsu?" asked Naruto.

"I did do a jutsu. Power of the Earth." said Ryu

"You should teach it to us. So we don't have to struggle lifting them." said Sakura

"Yea! Would you?" asked Naruto

"Ok." said Ryu as she took her headband off her waist and put it on her fore head so her hair wouldn't get in the way. "The hand signs you need to do are tiger, ram, dog, boar, bird, boar, tiger and horse. Once you balance the physical energy in your hands, make them into fists and concentrate on lifting the rock, but let it down gently.

They did as they were told and they did everything right. Except Naruto made a big thump when he put down the rock and cracked the ground.

"Uhhhh...oops?"

Ryu just sighed.

Then Sakura did the same thing.

"Wow. That's harder than I thought." she said with a guilty face.

After that Kakashi said they were done for the day and they were dismissed. So Kakashi left and went to go turn the reports of the missions in.

"Hey Sakura ya sure ya don't want to go get ramen with me? My treat?" said Naruto

"Didn't I tell you no?" said Sakura in a harsh voice.

Naruto was disappointed but he shrugged and moved on.

Sasuke started to head home until Sakura yelled "Sasuke do you want to like go do something together."

Sasuke responded "No. I'm heading to my room."

Sakura was also disappointed. "I wonder if Ryu would like too..." then she remembered how Ryu exploded while they were walking the dogs. "I should just stay away from her." So Sakura just walked into her room.

Ryu started to take a walk around. She felt depressed and angry at the same time. She always felt like that. She started to climb the trees, not using her chakra, all the way to the top. She stopped to stare at the sunset. Remembering her past. She didn't mind being alone. It just gave her time to clear her head of all the bad memories.

Naruto went to get some Ramen like he said he would.

Sakura went home to eat dinner.

Sasuke was just laying on his bed also thinking about his past. Trying to clear his head of the horrible memories. Then he thought about how annoying Naruto is, and Sakura not leaving him alone. Then he thought of Ryu. Wondering why she was always so quiet. Well except when she got angry. He just started to think about her and what she said earlier. "I plan to avenge someone dear to me and destroy a certain someone." Then he remembered what he said, " I will restore my clan and destroy a certain someone." He wondered why their answers were so similar. Then he thought "Who cares. It's not like she has the same past as me anyway."
